TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t need a “rah-rah” speech from head coach Dirk Koetter on Saturday night. Instead, Koetter chose two players to address the team -- something he hadn’t done before. If they were going to climb out of a five-game skid and make a move after a 2-6 first half, it was going to be because of them and not him. He wanted players to take more of a vocal role and be the ones holding each other accountable.
But he didn’t select quarterback Jameis Winston to talk about “eating Ws” or alphabet soup.
