Bucs QB Josh Johnson was benched in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 35-7 loss to New England, and Johnson was suprisingly candid about the fact that it might be a permanent move.
On the Wembley sideline, head coach Raheem Morris had some words of comfort for his young signal-caller.
"I told him, 'You don't have to say anything. I understand,' " Johnson mused. "(It was) the same situation as Byron (Leftwich). If we don't win games, maybe Josh (Freeman) is going to play. I understood what was going on when I first was (named) the starting quarterback."
Morris has thus far been non-committal about which quarterback would play after next weekend's bye, when the Bucs continue the season at home against Green Bay.
"Josh is still our man, and I still support him," rookie Freeman said.
Whether Morris does, however, is another matter.
