Below is a selection of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quotes from today's earlier media availability. Full video of press conferences can be found on Buccaneers.com.
Head Coach Dirk Koetter
(On if this game will look different in the passing game than the Saints)
"Of course, that's every week. We don't get to decide the coverage – they get to decide and we've got all their percentages and everything, but when you're playing these early season games, half of your percentages are based on what they did last year. They've only played one game. You can t really count preseason, so a team can come out and do something totally different. But, with that said, Philly believes in their system and their system's been real good for them so don't think it's a big surprise what they're going to do."
(On if having depth at receiver helps with wide receiver DeSean Jackson questionable for Sunday's game)
"I think not just because it's regular seasons, but because of this heat. Sunday at one o'clock – we were talking about it – it's going to be a similar day to last year's Chicago. Remember that was a smoking hot day when we played Chicago last year. It's the same for both teams, but you've only got 46 guys. There's the same volume of running in a game as always and it's up to each team to decide how they're going to rotate their guys."
(On if he plans to use tempo to his advantage)
"We'll have to see."
(On the success he has had in Week 1)
"No because then you didn't follow it up with what happened the second game with all those years, so I appreciate you doing that. I don't think it's going to happen this year – hopefully now. That's why you play the games. Right? You play the games to see who's going to win."
(On if he felt amped up coming into work after the Saints win)
"I'm always amped up to come into the building. I can't wait to get here. You're coming here – win or lose – you're coming here to get the next one. We put one game to bed – it's on to the next one. For a coach, Mondays and Tuesdays are a race against the clock to get everything done for when the players get back on Wednesday. So of course, I can't wait to get back at it and you try to put your guys in the best position you can."
(On if DeSean Jackson is still in concussion protocol)
"We're going to be putting an injury report out here before too long."
(On if the players have been focused after a big win)
"There's no way to really measure that, but we say win or lose, 24 hours enjoy it or pout about it – one way or the other – and then move on. Everybody's going handle that a little bit different."
(On the fans attending the game in the heat)
"I hope they go to [Buccaneer Beach] first. Is that going to help them or hurt them? Stop by Buc Beach or stop by that bar (Bar 76) have a couple of cool beverages and I hope there's a lot of them and I hope they're all in our colors."
