Freeman admits he has to cut down on interceptionsBY ROY CUMMINGSThe Tampa TribuneTAMPA -- Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman walked into anoff-day meeting with quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt Official Jason Campbell Jersey on Tuesdayand, before he even sat down, said the very words rolling aroundinside Van Pelt's head."I have to take better care of the football,'' Freeman said."Absolutely, you do,'' Van Pelt said, as he grabbed a pen andbegan to scratch through the item labeled "ball security'' at thetop of his printed list of meeting points.After throwing just six interceptions last season, Freeman hasthrown four in the Bucs' first three games. But it'snot so much the number that concerns the Bucs. It's the way it cameabout.Two of Freeman's interceptions were throws into the end zone,one a first-down play and the other a situation in which allindicators suggested he not throw the ball at all.During the season opener against Detroit, Freeman threw into adouble coverage despite seeing the front of a defender's jersey,which is usually a red light for a quarterback."If you have backside numbers you usually want to give yourreceiver a chance,'' Van Pelt said. "We call that an opportunityball. But he had his (front-side) numbers to us on that, so thatwas just a poor decision.''So, too, was Freeman's decision on Sunday to throw the ball on asecond-and-goal play from the Falcons 9-yard line. By the timeFreeman threw, he had crossed the line of scrimmage, drawing anillegal-forward-pass penalty.That penalty, which Freeman could have avoided by tucking theball and running with it, cost the Bucs 5 yards and the loss of a down.Ultimately, they settled for a field goal on the drive."Oh, there's no doubt,'' Bucs coach Replica Jason Campbell Jersey Raheem Morris said whenasked if Freeman needed to start making better decisions with theball. "We definitely want to take better care of the ball.''Especially in the red zone. The Bucs enter Monday night's againstthe Colts ranked 31st in the league in offensive Jason Campbell Jersey White red-zoneefficiency, having scored just three touchdowns in 11 red-zonepossessions.Freeman's red-zone mistakes are obviously part of the problem.But as his comments to Van Pelt prior to their meeting on Tuesdayindicate, he's well Authentic Louis Murphy Jersey aware of his personal contributions."Two turnovers in the red zone, that's just unacceptable,''Freeman said. "That's something you really don't anticipate doingor expect to do at anytime. And we talk about it all the time."That's something that's just not in our chemistry as Buccaneersquarterbacks - to throw picks in the red zone like that. It'sunacceptable and I have to find a way to get that corrected.''Part of the game plan includes running a check of Freeman'sconfidence, which has been running so high lately he has oftentried to squeeze passes into spots they simply cannot fit.That's what happened on at least one of the interceptions in theend zone and also the play against Detroit on which Freeman's deeppass for Arrelious Benn was intercepted at the Lions 1-yardline.And while the mistakes and wasted scoring chances are alegitimate cause for concern, the Bucs remain as confident as ever inFreeman.Freeman has completed 72 of 106 attempts for 682 yards cheap nfl jerseys china with twotouchdowns. Though his Jason Campbell Jersey Black passer rating of 76.1 is nearly 20 pointslower than at the end of last season, Freeman continues to make bigplays in the clutch.On third down plays, he ranks Louis Murphy Authentic Jersey fourth in the league with a 104.8passer rating. In the fourth quarter, he ranks 10th in completionpercentage (69.8) and 17th in passer rating (94.2)."The interceptions are obviously a little high for him, but asfar as managing games and making plays, if you take theinterceptions away, he's had a heck of a year so far,'' Van Peltsaid."That's the thing you have to keep in mind. I don't think he'sgoing to throw 18 interceptions this year. We're not worried aboutthat. The Permier Jason Campbell Jersey situation has been addressed."In fact, Josh addressed it himself in that meeting. I didn'teven have to bring it up to him. He knew, and after being aroundhim the way Authentic Jason Campbell Jersey Black we have, you kind of expect that from him.
