Buccaneers
New Buccaneers DT Ndamukong Suh explained that DC Todd Bowles was one of the main selling points when it came to signing with Tampa Bay.
โHis personality, the way he looks at things, the way he wants to attack,โ Suh said of Bowles, via ESPN. โBeing able to attack, be very aggressive, play up the field โ obviously people have their responsibilities and whatnot, but Iโve always enjoyed being in an โattackโ style defense.โ
Regarding his reputation as being a โdirtyโ player, Suh mentioned that โitโs irrelevant in my life.โ
โI think when you look at people in general, youโve got to get to know them, youโve got to have face time with them, youโve got to be able to have the opportunity to interact with them,โ Suh said. โBefore you pass judgment on somebody, always take the time to get to know them, meet them, have coffee with them, whatever it may be and then be able to go from there.โ
โI think when people have seen blips of meโฆitโs been in a negative light, rather than a positive light and thatโs due to outlets of media, social media, whatever it may be. I can deal with that because I know who I am as a person, I know who my parents are, what kind of child they brought up โ itโs irrelevant in my life. I think the people that know me the best see me always in a good light and see the troubles and tribulations that Iโve gone through, as any human being goes through in their lives.โ

โJulio hasnโt been here the last couple of years doing this type of stuff,โ Morris said, via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. โWe look forward to when he comes back. We love Julio. You know that. He knows we love him. We know he loves us.โ
โItโs just an opportunity for more guys to show what they can do,โ Morris added. โI donโt think youโre ever going to question what Julio can do. I donโt think anybody well. I just think theyโre more opportunities for us to learn here.โ
