TAMPA - Tampa Bay's quarterbacks had a bad day as a group - and rookie Josh Freeman was certainly no exception.

Head coach Raheem Morris said none of the four quarterbacks in Sunday's practice established an acceptable tempo or appeared particularly sharp throwing the ball. Quarterbacks coach Greg Olson said Tampa Bay's first-round draft pick suffered through a frustrating two-hour practice Sunday.

"Josh had a bit of a rough afternoon," said Olson. "He took a step backwards and he turned the ball over. I think he had three interceptions today, which is unacceptable. Josh understands that. He'll learn from that and he'll get better."

Freeman appeared dejected as he walked off the field after practice.

"I tried to force the ball in there a few times when I should have gone to checkdowns," Freeman acknowledged.
