0:56
This is going to be a primetime game coming up this week Monday night
1:00
football. Cannot wait to see what is going to happen with this Eagles team
1:03
as a fan of the Eagles, and I know my guest is looking forward
1:07
to see what's going to be happening with this Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, who
1:10
is really surprising some folks out of the gates. So let's get into this
1:14
preview podcast. It is great to have back on the podcast to get into
1:19
our Eagles and Buccaneers preview show coming to us from A to Z Sports we've
1:25
had them on the show before because we love talking to him, the one
1:27
and only Evan Winter. Evan, Man, how you doing, buddy.
1:32
I'm doing great, Jeff. Football season is back. You know. It's
1:34
awesome to be back on the pod speaking, you know, speaking talking football
1:37
with you as well. So you know, I mean, this is the
1:40
time of the year, this is you know, this is the greatest time.
1:42
So always happy to be talking at this point in the year. Absolutely,
1:46
one of our teams is gonna lose this week. One of our teams
1:48
is going to get their first loss of the season this week. Man,
1:52
I know, and it's and I know we'll dive into this here in a
1:53
little bit, but yeah, when you're talking about the Bucks, I'm you
1:57
know, fans are fans, you know, they always have that confidence.
2:00
They probably would tell you, yeah, I expected Tampa Bay to be two
2:01
and oh you know, but yeah, I think I think it's safe to
2:07
say a lot of people didn't expect this, So yeah, it should be
2:09
a fun one for sure. Yeah. Absolutely, Well let's kind of start
2:12
off on that particular point, Evan, because you know, I mean,
2:15
at the start of the season, I think all of us from a conventional
2:17
wisdom standpoint, thought that the two NFL teams that were going to be quote
2:22
tanking to get that next quarterback of the future, we're going to be the
2:24
Arizona Cardinals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now we know the Cardinals are having
2:29
absolutely, you know, dumpster fire. Still, you know, they were
2:32
putting up some points these past couple of weeks here. You know, no
2:36
no slouches, guys are trying to actually play and perform. And then you
2:39
see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I think, you know, I don't think
2:44
anybody thought the Bucks were going to be two and oh at this point in
2:46
the season here. I mean, they were again predicted to be one of
2:51
the teams looking at that next quarterback of the future. But you know they've
2:54
been fighting during these first two games. Are you surprised at really how they've
3:00
started the season here, and what do you attribute their early success to overall?
3:06
Yes, I am surprised now when you look at their roster as a
3:08
whole, and you know what they said all throughout the off season was they
3:12
still thought they were a competitive team. That's why they brought in Mayfield,
3:15
a veteran quarterback. They didn't just bring him in to kind of bridge the
3:16
gap. You know, they thought they could win games with him in Dave
3:20
Canalis's offense. And then you know, there was the report that came out
3:23
from Josina Anderson as well, just a couple of weeks before the season started.
3:28
If if my you know timeline is correct, it was right around that
3:30
time either way. But you know, she said that if Baker has a
3:34
good season this year, then you know the Bucks would look to extend him
3:38
next year, and that could possibly get in the way of the whole Mike
3:40
Evans contract extension, which is looking like Mike Evans is gonna make more and
3:45
more money with each passing week exactly. But yeah, I know, right,
3:50
yeah, So so you know, the I don't I don't think they
3:53
ever came into the season with the idea they're going to tank, especially with
3:57
the NFC South still being up for grabs. There's a lot of situations there
4:00
as well, even though the Falcons look really really good and so do the
4:02
Saints so far, at least on defense. But yeah, when you when
4:08
you look at this roster, you have good players at premium positions. You
4:12
know, you have a Pro bowlers and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin at your
4:15
receiver. You have Tristan Worfs, you know, in All Pro even though
4:18
he moved to left tackle, he was you know, he's still won the
4:20
best offensive linemen in the game. Robert Hanzi even though Ryan Jensen went out,
4:25
you know, he showed a lot of promise last year, even though
4:27
he's not off to a great start this year. And then you look at
4:29
the defense. You know, the defense has you know, stars all over
4:31
it, even though there are a lot of depth concerns. So it was
4:33
really just about all bringing it together and making something happen. And one thing
4:39
that you know, a lot of people who don't follow the team closely,
4:41
you know, last year, one reason why Todd Bowls, just one reason
4:45
why last year was so off was because Bruce Arians retiring really hamstrung Todd Bowls
4:50
when it came to building the team in his vision. You know, Bruce
4:54
Arians retired what late March something like that, and by that time the coaching
4:59
hiring s Chael was already gone or had already passed, you know, free
5:01
agency, the bulk of free agency had already passed, So Bowls was kind
5:04
of just stuck with what you know, it was left over from the year
5:08
before. He remade everything this year in his vision and so far it's working.
5:12
And when you talk about you know, the you know, the two
5:14
things that really stand out in terms of why they're two and oh, it's
5:16
got to be Baker Mayfield number one. I mean, he is playing great
5:20
so far. You know, for these two first games. He had a
5:23
rough start against Minnesota, almost through a pick six on his first throw against
5:27
the Bears, but after those moments really settled in, really settled down,
5:30
and he's playing really calm and collect or. He's playing collected yet confident,
5:34
which is, you know, big for him. And then the other reason
5:38
has to be the defense. I mean, the defense is just lights out
5:40
right now. They're four, they're fourth in the league with five turnovers.
5:44
They've only allowed one hundred and eight rushing yards through the first two games.
5:46
I think teams are averaging like two point three yards of pop something crazy like
5:49
that. And then you know they're just flying around. I mean, you
5:53
look at Devin White. You know, a lot was made about his offseason
5:56
drama and about what he wants. Right now, he's on track to make
5:59
that twenty million a year. He's been hying for a long time. I
6:01
mean, the dude's just playing lights out. And then even in the secondary,
6:05
you know, a really really thin unit, you've got an undrafted rookie
6:09
and Christian I Zeen really really standing out. You know, they call him
6:12
Izzy. So yeah, those two, Baker Mayfield the defense man. It's
6:15
definitely what has Tampa Bay off this two. And I start, well,
6:17
I want to get into Baker Baker Mayfield a little bit more here in detail
6:23
with you, Evan, because like I mean, like you said, like
6:25
he's just cooking on all cylinders here at this point. And sure, well
6:28
they they're playing in somewhat some would refer to as a quote weak division,
6:32
and I'm not sure how weak of a division it is necessarily at this point.
6:36
But Mayfield has only been sacked once this season, and he hasn't thrown
6:41
a pick yet either. Like you said, he almost threw a pick his
6:44
very first pass of the season, but after that, again, cooking on
6:47
all cylinders. And I'm wondering if he's starting to inevitably revitalize his career here
6:53
in Tampa Bay. And what kind of Baker Mayfield are you thinking that we
6:58
are going to see that we should just expect from him here in Week three
7:01
against Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah. So, you know, going back to what
7:05
I just said a little bit, you know, he's playing collected yet confident
7:09
and before you know, he could you could say his confidence would get the
7:13
best of him, you know, so and so forth. I mean,
7:15
it was, it was a fact, you know. And just to go
7:17
back a little bit, I think people really underestimate what he went through towards
7:23
in that last season with Cleveland and then last year in general. He wasn't
7:27
healthy at all during the off season. I mean, he wasn't even healthy
7:30
during his last season with the Browns. He had the shoulder issue he had
7:32
to rehab. He had to rehab all off season last season. He talked
7:35
about this back in March. How you know when you're out there rehab and
7:39
you're not getting you're not working out with your with your teammates, you're not
7:42
you know, meeting up at a high school football field like Tom Brady did
7:46
in twenty twenty with everybody and throwing them the ball. Because you're rehab and
7:47
you're not learning the playbook, you're not you're not figuring all this stuff out
7:51
and so that's what he did all off season last season. But now this
7:55
season, he's had a full off season to jail to, you know,
7:59
learn the play a book. It's it's a system too, and which really
8:01
really works well with his skill set. Dave Canalis's system, you know,
8:05
he's derived from the from the Rams slash Seahawks, you know, way of
8:09
doing things, which is, you know a lot of play action, a
8:11
lot of eye candymotion, you know, just putting your players in good positions,
8:16
which is smart coaching these days. So you know, coming in,
8:20
you know, it was really just about, yeah, how how how could
8:22
he play confident yet calm and collected. And that's what he's done so far,
8:28
and you know, it's been fun to watch. But now when it
8:31
comes to what he's going to do this week against the Eagles, man,
8:35
it's good questions because thatsive front and that's exactly where I was gonna start.
8:43
The number one thing that you've noticed with this Tampa Bay offense so far in
8:46
the first two weeks, while it's been better than expected, the offensive line
8:50
has not been what it needs to be in order to beat teams like the
8:54
Eagles. The Vikings. Look they suck I'm just gonna go and say that
8:58
Kirk Cousins is not the guy. You know, getting rid of Dalvin Cook
9:01
was an off idea. You yards rushing twenty nine yards rushing last week against
9:05
the Eagles. I didn't even think that was possible. Right now, I
9:09
have I have Justin Jefferson in my mind as Calvin Johnson. He's just gonna
9:13
put up all these insane stats and the team's gonna win five games, you
9:16
know, and then like, that's that's what I that's the just the trend
9:20
I see Justin Jefferson for right now. He's a great player. Has nothing
9:22
to do with him. It just has everything to do with the Vikings sucking
9:26
and the Bears. Like I said, I was, I was high on
9:28
them coming in the year, but they suck too. So you know,
9:31
the Eagles are a really good team, and they have an extremely good defensive
9:35
line, and that defensive line is going to probably rec havoc on the Bucks.
9:39
If I had to bet on this, I would say, yes,
9:41
they're gonna have a big night. So in terms of what Mayfield can do,
9:46
it's gonna be all about scheme and operating out of structure. He's gonna
9:50
have to make a lot of plays out of structure, which he's done so
9:52
far over these last couple of weeks. I mean, really did it against
9:54
the Bears. I think the Bears have like seventeen pressures and they didn't sack
9:58
him once and he only threw three. He only threw three incompletions the entire
10:01
game. So you know, yeah, it was it was wild what he
10:03
was doing last week. But that's not sustainable at the end of the day.
10:07
That's just not sustainable. Yeah, So, you know, overall,
10:11
what I would expect to see, I would eventually expect to see a frustrated
10:13
Baker Mayfield. But I do think he'll make some plays, simply because Dave
10:16
Canalis is really scheming his guys open in terms of you know, we'll talk
10:20
about this here in second in terms of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. It's
10:24
just a breath of fresh air in his offense. You can really see what
10:26
he wanted to be and how effective it can be when it's clicking. I
10:30
do think he'll make some plays, But overall, I think it's going to
10:31
be kind of a modest night for Baker and it's gonna be nothing on him
10:35
it's just gonna be what's going on around him. Yeah, and I do
10:37
think too, you know, whether or not Baker Mayfield does get his first
10:39
interception against the Eagles based on that pressure that we're talking about up front,
10:43
you know, we've seen time and time again this Eagles team not necessarily getting
10:48
in there to get the sacks. Of course last year, I'm talking this
10:50
year only four sacks on the season, but getting to the quarterback just you
10:56
know, hitting, hitting the quarterbacks elbow as he's making a throw, and
10:58
that all is going who knows where, could potentially see Baker Mayfield with his
11:03
first interception of the season. But I also think we're gonna see from the
11:09
Bucks some short slants and I think we're gonna see that time and time again.
11:13
Baker Mayfield's gonna have to get the ball out very quickly. And when
11:16
you have receivers like Mike Evans Chris Godwin, I mean, these guys are
11:22
having themselves a good season thus far. Evan, and as an Eagles fan,
11:26
I'm a little worried about about that. And then given the banged up
11:31
nature at which this Eagles secondary is early on this season, and of course
11:35
who knows what's going to happen in terms of some of these guys being able
11:37
to play Week three. But what are you seeing with Mike Evans, Chris
11:41
Godwin and company against these defenses they've faced in the first two weeks where they
11:46
could potentially exploit an Eagle's secondary in defense that's been a little banged up.
11:52
They're finally scheming these guys open, Mike. And you know, Mike Evans
11:54
back in back in the summer, I can't remember it was training camp or
11:58
right before training camp, whatever it was. Over the summer, he literally
12:01
said, I am more wide open than I've ever been in my career in
12:05
this offense. And Bruce arians hit that entire offensive philosophy. It was.
12:11
It had its advantages, but ultimately, and Bruce said this multiple times while
12:15
he was in Tampa, he said, it comes down to beating your guy
12:18
one on one and that's just not smart football. Dave Canalis has repeatedly said
12:22
throughout the off season, and it's it's no shot at Bruce, it's just
12:26
his mentality. But he said, mono imano, if you're expected just to
12:30
do that, go out there and win every single time, that's not smart
12:33
football. You've got to help your guys. You've got to scheme them open.
12:35
You've got to create the makes these play designs where you know defenses are
12:39
going to read one way and you're going to react the other, and then
12:43
you're gonna be, yeah, wide open for a touchdown like Mike was earlier
12:46
or not a touchdown. He almost had a touchdown, but you know,
12:48
he had that sixty yard catch and run whatever it was earlier against the Bears,
12:52
and it was because he was wide open. His touchdown against the Vikings,
12:54
he was wide open. So and with Chris Godwin, he's not taking
12:58
these stupid big screen passes, you know, behind the line of scrimmage and
13:01
getting beat up anymore. He's not playing the big slot position, which was
13:05
obviously just wearing his body down. With Bruce Arians, i mean, he
13:07
get back to back you know, really, you know, really tough years
13:11
with some injuries, you know, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, and twenty
13:13
twenty one. Yeah, so they're finally scheming these guys open. And when
13:16
you have two receivers like Chris Godwin and Mike Evans who are that wide open,
13:20
yeah, good luck with that. But the one thing, the one
13:24
thing with the Eagles tonight, and Michae will tell you this himself, James
13:28
Bradberry or the Eagles next week, sorry, not tonight. James Bradberry,
13:33
if he can play this game, There's there's only like two or three guys
13:35
who consistently and routinely shut down like Evans. And I'm talking like shut down
13:39
like one catch nine yards, not like five catches sixty yards. You know,
13:45
one catch nine yards, one catch ten yards, something like that.
13:48
It's Marshawn Lattimore and it's James Bradberry. So if Bradberry can come back in
13:52
this week and play in this game, it's going to be a huge boost
13:56
for that equals defense because then then they'll lock down, then they'll have to
13:58
concentrate on God, which yeah, he's great, but it makes it easier.
14:01
And then you've got really with Russell Gage being out for the year,
14:05
even though Tray Palmer's played well, I mean, you've got a lot of
14:07
depth concerns behind the bucks those two wide receivers again, folks. Talking to
14:11
Evan Winter from A to Z Sports A to Z sports dot Com. Follow
14:16
Evan on Twitter. He's a great great follow at Evan Underscore A to Z
14:20
again, he's a great, great follow been on the show a number of
14:22
times. We love what they're doing over at eight to Z Sports and moving
14:26
along here because you know, like we know, you know, the Eagles
14:30
they have a pretty prolific offense when things are flowing. We've seen some hiccups
14:33
and some rust early on with this offense for sure, and even with Jalen
14:37
Hurts. But you know, we we we saw the New England Patriots kind
14:41
of give this Eagles offense some problems. I mean in Week one, every
14:45
now and again, even last week Week two, the Vikings just kind of
14:50
kind of given given the Eagles offense some issues every now and then. So
14:54
I'm wondering, like, what's the biggest threat to the Eagles when looking at
14:58
this Bucks defense, which you mentioned earlier on has been pretty prolific thus far
15:01
this season. So what should the Eagles offense and US fans be saying,
15:05
Okay, we gotta really worry about this when it comes to the Buck's defense.
15:09
Yeah, so you should worry about the front seven. But you've got
15:13
a great offensive line, and you've got you know, tight ends who know
15:16
how to block, and you've got you've got a head coach who's an offensive
15:18
guy who knows how to get his offensive line help when needed, especially going
15:22
to gegainst exotic schemes like Todd Bowles's defense. So that takes it down just
15:26
slightly a notch to the one thing or the one person that I'm gonna say
15:30
that you need to worry about. And I'm gonna I'm gonna rekindle some some
15:35
bad memories here, So just bear with me, okay, But it's gonna
15:37
it's gonna be Antoine Winfield Junior. It's because Antoine Winfield Junior is essentially the
15:43
next Ronde Barber, and that's where the bad memories come in. So so
15:46
I mean this dude, I mean even in his physical makeup, you know.
15:50
I mean now, granted, you know, Ronde was about five eleven,
15:52
one eighty five something like that, and Antoine's five eleven two fifteen something
15:56
like that. But they're short, stocky guys. They play all over the
16:00
defense. Antoine is an excellent blitzer off the edge, and even whenever Todd
16:04
runs him out from the safety position, you know, blitzing him from deep,
16:07
he can cover. He's got exceptional range, he can play man to
16:11
man, he can play the nickel, he can play deep, he can
16:14
play bot. I mean, you can line him up everywhere, just like
16:17
Rende Barber. I mean even the last week and a half. You know,
16:21
Rende Barber evoked you know, his own characterization for lack of a better
16:26
word, in Swan Winfield. He said, this guy can be like me.
16:30
So expect him to be traveling all over the place and expect him to
16:36
be getting after Jalen Hurts a lot because they blitz him a ton. I
16:37
don't have the exact numbers. I can look him up on PFF real quick,
16:41
but you know, obviously, just for sake of conversation, we'll just
16:44
we'll just say he gets blitzed a lot and he's very effective. So yeah,
16:48
watch out for Antoine Winfield Junior on Monday night. All right, and
16:49
again, folks, we know that Jalen Hurtz has had a few issues here
16:53
and there when it comes to the blitz. Not seeing that blitz coming from
16:56
the corner. Certainly saw it during the Vikings games. Something to keep an
17:00
eye out on for sure. And Evan is we're moving along here of two
17:03
part question for you as we're really looking at these matchups here on Monday night.
17:08
So getting into the matchup with the Eagles, where do you think the
17:11
Bucks are most vulnerable on offense? After what you saw during Week one and
17:17
Week two? Where are they most vulnerable on the offensive side of the ball?
17:22
Yeah, has definitely the offensive line. You know, you still got
17:23
Trisian worse learning left tackle, and he's been good, but he hasn't been
17:26
the elite player that you know he was over on the right side. And
17:30
that was the biggest question you know this year was you know, do like
17:34
I don't understand if you've got an elite player, you keep him there even
17:38
if he turns into a pro bowler. Even if he turns into a pro
17:42
bowler as left tackle, that's still just a really good player. That's not
17:45
an elite player. That's just so hard to find. And I don't understand
17:49
why you would take that risk, especially in the favor of a guy like
17:52
Luke Getticky, who yes played tackle in college and really struggled at guard last
17:57
year, so it made sense to moving back to tackle. But still,
18:00
like, it's just overall, it just doesn't make a lot of sense.
18:03
And then you have Ryan Jensen, you know, obviously out for the year,
18:06
Robert Hanzy has not played well in these first two games. He was
18:10
very solid last year. I wouldn't say he was Pro Bowl level last year,
18:12
but he was definitely very solid. He couldn't started for any other team
18:15
in the NFL. And then you know Matt Feiler, the guard veteran guard
18:19
pick up from the Chargers over the offseason, has not been good. And
18:22
then Cody Mock has also also struggled as well. A lot of that probably
18:27
comes with playing next to Luke Getticky. But you know, malk Is a
18:30
is a rookie, you know, second round pick, comes from a small
18:33
school, and he also has some lower strength, not issues, but he
18:37
needs to improve his lower body strength if he really wants to become that guy
18:41
for the Bucks. So yeah, going up against that Eagles front, yeah,
18:45
they're gonna have some issues there for sure. And then the on the
18:48
back end in terms of you know, where are the Bucks most vulnerable on
18:52
defense? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's easily the secondary. You
18:56
know, we were still waiting to see if Carltonton Davis comes back with you
19:00
know, from that turf toe injury. I doubt he does though, because
19:03
turf toe typically last you know, two or three weeks and granted, yeah,
19:06
I mean the secondary has looked good, you know, I just you
19:08
know, talked about Izzy and how well he's been playing. But you know,
19:12
it's a week to week thing we talk about. You know, we're
19:15
just talking about you can't sustain you know, the pressures and all this stuff
19:18
last week. You can't expect Zion the Column and Izzy to be making plays
19:22
like they made every single week last week, or every single like they made
19:26
last week. It's just not right now. It's just not feasible. They're
19:27
too young, they're too inexperienced, and there's just too much out there that
19:32
they still have to learn. So this secondary really needs to be on its
19:36
point, especially whenever you're going against guys like DeVante Smith and A. J.
19:41
Brown and then even Dallas got even Dallas Goddard, who's a huge I'm
19:45
a huge fan Dallas Goddard, and even though he hasn't got off to a
19:47
great start this year, but the Eagles line him up, they can line
19:48
him up anywhere along the formation. So you know, when you're going against
19:52
this this skill sets that the Eagles have, you definitely need to be on
19:56
your game, absolutely, all right, well, to close us out,
20:00
we ask all of our opposition territory guests this during the course of the two
20:03
twenty three season here and going to talk about what both teams are going to
20:08
need to do to hit or what they're gonna need to hit on for a
20:11
win. So, what's the one thing the Bucks are gonna need to hit
20:15
on for a win this week? And then we'll talk about what you think
20:17
the Eagles are gonna need to hit on for a win this week here in
20:19
Week three. So let's start off with the one thing the Bucks are gonna
20:22
need to hit on for a win this week against Philadelphia Eagles. Seven.
20:26
Yeah, So it was a coin toss between the offensive line in the secondary.
20:30
I picked the offensive line just because, you know, I think the
20:33
defense can hold its own. Todd Balls typically always has a good game plan.
20:36
Even last year with all the struggles, the defense kept them in a
20:38
lot of games and they could have won more games if they just got,
20:42
you know, an okay performance from the offense. So I'm gonna go with
20:47
the offensive line because also it matches up with a strength in the Eagles defensive
20:49
line. And then for the Eagles, the linebackers are gonna have to play
20:52
well. They can't get sucked up when the Bucks run play action. They
20:56
don't need to fall for all the window dressing that Canalis is gonna you know
21:00
that comes with his offense, you know, the motion, the jet sweeps.
21:03
I mean, if you go and check out my Twitter account, this
21:04
not me trying to you know, advertise my own Twitter account, but if
21:07
you go check my timeline, there is this awesome jet sweep they ran.
21:11
It was a reverse jet sweep they ran with Devin Tompkins that went for like
21:15
twenty yards last week. It looked like a counter pitch to a shod white
21:18
in the back, but it was completely and but Tompkins was coming in motion,
21:22
his hands it right. I mean, it was a beautiful play design.
21:25
So the linebackers, the lineback the defensive line should be able to control
21:29
its you know, can handle its own. But the linebackers, again,
21:32
they're gonna have to play with awareness. They're gonna have to make sure they're
21:33
reading their keys and they can't get caught, you know, getting tricked by
21:37
you know, all the different elements that Dave Canalis is gonna be calling on
21:41
Monday Night. Yeah, it's gonna be a fun game to watch for sure,
21:45
and again one of these teams is gonna get their first loss of the
21:48
season. Again, folks. Talking to Evan Winner from A to Z Sports

21:57
Thanks so much for coming on our preview podcasts here Eagles Bucks. I'm looking
22:02
forward to talking to you down the road at some point, my friend.
22:04
Yes, they're always. I do think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to
22:08
be playing this Philadelphia Eagles team pretty tough. I mean, that's what we've
22:11
seen thus far from the Bucks, and I think that while I don't think
22:15
they're the greatest team in the world, again, they're gonna play tough.
22:21
And the Eagles, as we've known, on the offensive side of the ball,
22:23
on the defensive back end, with regard to the secondary and the defensive
22:29
backs, there have been some struggles. We know that the Eagles have struggled
22:33
on offense, they have struggled on defense, yes two and oh thankfully,
22:37
but there's definitely vulnerabilities when it comes to this Philadelphia Eagles team. Can the
22:41
Tampa Bay Buccaneers exploit those vulnerabilities, and how is the health of the Eagles
22:48
going to look, especially on the defensive side of the ball. All things
22:51
to consider when looking at this particular game. Again, thanks to Evan for
22:53
jumping on board, and that's gonna do it for us here on Opposition Territory.
