JoeBucsFan.com: [General manager] Jason Licht said to Buccaneers.com last week that we feel like we’re the same 6-2 team that walked into the bye week. Do you feel that way and is that sort of the expectation of the franchise?
Joel Glazer: Yeah! I mean you saw what this team could do. But every story has substories. You know, it’s hard. It’s hard when you start a season and you think this is what your team is going to be. And then you get to the season and you’re missing a lot of the pieces constantly throughout the season. Again, everybody has injuries, but I think we had some significant challenges we had to deal with last year. Again, like I said, it was unfortunate down the stretch, frustrating down the stretch. But you see week in and week out, this team plays hard for Todd [Bowles] and nobody lays down. You’ll have the odd game where things don’t quite go your way, but every game til the final whistle, these players are fighting, fighting, fighting.
