Morris insists Adams must have double-digit sacks or bust

Say this about Raheem Morris: he's nothing if not brutally honest.

Morris was asked about his expectations for third-year pro Gaines Adams, who has 12.5 sacks in his first two seasons.

"Double-digit sacks,'' Morris said. "That's what he's graded on, there's no secret about it. I've got no problem telling him, "Hey Gaines, if you don't do it this year, you're going to be considered a bust.' I told him that in a team meeting. I tell him that every once in awhile when we walk out together. He can't wait. He's embraced it. He's going to come out ready to play.

"There's no other thing that's going to define Gaines Adams other than sacks and production. Production speaks volumes...I wouldn't say it's do or die. But if you ask what is it going to take for Gaines Adams to go over the top? Double-digit sacks.''
