Dashon Goldson has insisted that Greg Schiano has not lost the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' locker room.

The head coach has come under fire after leading the team to losses in their first seven games of the 2013 NFL season.

The safety told the Tampa Bay Buccaneers: "I have high respect for this coach. He's taken a lot of scrutiny off the field. These are tough times. We understand that.

"He has a job to do, and we do as players. We just try to do the best we can to prepare every week and win a football game. He hasn't lost the locker room."

The Buccaneers have won just once in their last 13 games.
