Beitrag The Bucs are 1-0 to start the season and now face the defend
champions in the Philadelphia Eagles.There were plenty of fireworks as Tampa Bay scored a franchise-high 48 points against the division rival Saints. Ryan Fitzpatrick had the best game of his career and sealed the deal with an impressive run on 3rd-and-11 in the fourth quarter.But things will be much tougher when the Eagles come to town. How will the Bucs fare on Sunday? Check out this week’s preview below. OverviewAll-time series record: The Eagles lead the all-time series at 8-6. They had won three in a row until Jameis Winston and the Bucs recorded a franchise record in rushing yards on the way to a 45-17 victory in 2015. Tampa Bay is 2-4 at home and 4-4 on the road. Playoff history: Both teams have four times in the playoffs. Three of those four meetings occurred between 2000-2002 with Tampa Bay advancing to its first Super Bowl with a 27-10 victory in the NFC Championship Game in 2002.Jameis Winston and Carson Wentz won’t face off against each other this time aroundPhoto by Mitchell Leff/Getty ImagesLongest win streak: Each team holds a three-game win streak.Largest victory: The Bucs’ 28-point win in 2015 (45-17) was the largest margin of victory.2018 offensive and defensive rankings: Tampa Bay boasts the league’s 2nd ranked offense (3rd passing Authentic Chandler Catanzaro Jersey , 19th rushing) and the 30th ranked defense (2nd rushing, 32nd passing). Philadelphia is tied for the 29th ranked offense (18th rushing, 31st passing) and the 7th ranked defense (6th rushing, t14th passing).What to watch for:The Bucs’ offensive line vs. the Eagles’ defensive line: Tampa Bay’s offensive line was dominant in pass protection last week. How will they do against Fletcher Cox and a deep Eagles’ defensive line?Nigel Bradham’s return: Bradham was suspended for one game and his replacements in Corey Graham and Nate Gerry struggled against Atlanta. The Eagles defense just became a lot better.The Bucs’ secondary against the deep ball: Nick Foles isn’t the best at throwing deep, but Tampa Bay will most likely be down their top two corners. Mike Wallace made some nice plays for Philadelphia in the preseason - will Sunday be his day to shine?Chris Godwin: Godwin is a major mismatch against this defense and with DeSean Jackson likely out, the Bucs will look his way often.Doug Pederson vs Mike Smith: Arguably the league’s top offensive scheme against arguably the league’s worst defensive scheme. Need I say more?Impact playersTampa BayQB Ryan Fitzpatrick: The Bucs will need another big performance from the bearded wonder.RB Peyton Barber: He has to stay consistent for all four quarters in order to tire the defense.WR Mike Evans: Expect the Eagles to try and cover Evans the best they can. The question is though: can they?DT Gerald McCoy: With the possibility of Jason Pierre-Paul out, McCoy needs to step it up.DE Vinny Curry: Curry should provide a huge boost on Sunday.S Justin Evans: It will be up to him to man the back half of the defensive backfield. The Bucs are going to need Curry in a major way Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty ImagesPhiladelphiaRB Jay Ajayi/Darren Sproles: The Eagles love to use their running backs all over the field and the Bucs linebackers struggled big time against the Saints.UPDATE: Darren Sproles has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury TE Zach Ertz: Philadelphia’s best receiver will be looking to feast on Tampa Bay’s off-man coverage all day.WR Nelson Agholor: One of the league’s quickest receivers should have a big day in the slot. DT Fletcher Cox: Just put it this way: Fletcher Cox will eat your soul. S Malcolm Jenkins: Since his move to safety/nickel, Jenkins has been one of the best defensive backs in the league.Game OutlookTampa Bay’s win over the Saints was huge, but came at a big cost. Not only did the Bucs lose Vernon Hargreaves III for the remainder of the year, but Brent Grimes will most likely miss his second straight game. DeSean Jackson and Jason Pierre-Paul aren’t out of the woods just yet, either. Both were limited in practice on Thursday, but that doesn’t mean they are a lock to play.(UPDATE: Both JPP and Jackson were full participants in practice Friday and are expected to play)The offense doesn’t need to score 48 points again to win http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/mike-evans-jersey , but they need to be able to produce effective, efficient drives at crucial junctures in the game. The Eagles have one of the best coaching staffs in the league, so it’s easy to understand that the game will not only be won on the field, but on the sideline as well. This will be Tampa Bay’s toughest challenge to date. The Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles used the NFL draft to add another playmaker, restock their depth chart and get a rugby star.After using their only pick in the first two days to select South Dakota State tight end Dallas Goedert with the 52nd overall spot, the Eagles turned to defense in the fourth round Saturday. They took Pitt cornerback Avonte Maddox and Florida State defensive end Josh Sweat five picks apart. TCU offensive lineman Matt Pryor was picked in the sixth round and Philadelphia moved up 17 spots to draft Australian rugby player Jordan Mailata with No. 233.Then the Eagles re-signed veteran running back and return specialist Darren Sproles, who tore an ACL and broke his forearm on the same play in Week 3 last season."Everybody in the building is excited to have Darren back," said Howie Roseman, the Eagles executive vice president of football operations. "He's that kind of guy."Mailata, 6-foot-7, 346 pounds, is projected as an offensive tackle. He began to pursue a career in the NFL last year and trained in Florida the past few months."I knew if I made the decision Womens Chris Conte Jersey , I'd be all in," said Mailata, who looks dominant running with the ball and knocking tacklers over in highlight videos. "Walking away from something I know very well to do something foreign was a big risk."Maddox, chosen Saturday at No. 125, played four seasons in college. Despite his size — 5-foot-9 and 184 pounds — Maddox is known for his tough, physical play. He had seven sacks along with eight interceptions over the past three years."This is a guy that fits in with our DB room," said Joe Douglas, the Eagles vice president of player personnel. "It's a group of highly competitive guys, and he's going to blend in perfectly, and even stand out to a degree. Even though he's not the biggest guy, he will attack and support."Sweat, 6-foot-5 and 251 pounds http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/caleb-benenoch-jersey , was picked at No. 130. He had 14陆 sacks in three seasons and gives the Eagles even more depth on a deep defensive line.Pryor, 6-foot-7 and 338 pounds, started 21 games at right guard and six at right tackle in his final two seasons.Here are some other things to know about the Eagles' draft:SET UP FOR 2019The Eagles added Baltimore's second-round pick next year by trading out of the first round, and sent a 2019 seventh-round pick to New England to move up 17 spots to get Mailata. They have eight picks in 2019 plus they'll likely get compensatory picks for losing free agents Trey Burton and Beau Allen.READY TO PLAYMaddox will compete for the nickel cornerback spot. Patrick Robinson, who had a pick-6 in the NFC championship game, left in free agency. Maddox also will get a chance to contribute as a returner."It can be anything on special teams," Maddox said. "And if they need me to play in the slot, I'll try to do my best there. And if they need me to play outside, I'll do my best there. Anything that they need me to do, I'll do it."VALUE PICKSweat would've gone earlier in the draft if it weren't for medical concerns going back to a knee injury suffered in high school."He was much higher rated than where we got him," Roseman said. "We have a lot of trust in our medical staff. Dr. (Peter) DeLuca has done a great job for us for a long time. When he tells us that the guy's ready to go, we rely on them and we trust that."Sweat only missed three games and sat out a bowl game last year to prepare for the draft."I think without the injury hopefully it would have been different Womens Demar Dotson Jersey ," he said. "I wouldn't say frustrating. It's been more motivating if anything."OVERLOADED D-LINEThe addition of Sweat plus free agents Michael Bennett and Haloti Ngata strengthens a line that already features Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Tim Jernigan, Chris Long and Derek Barnett."That's what we call 'rich man problems,'" Roseman said. "We're excited about that. That's how we're going to build this. We're always going to put priority on the lines. You can never have too many."MULTI-TALENTEDGoedert, who will team with Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz to give the Eagles another weapon at the position, rides a unicycle in parades in his hometown, Britton, South Dakota. He said the skill helps him on the field."It helps with the balance for sure," Goedert said. "If you get hit a little bit on the legs, you can torque your body to stay upright. So I think the balance definitely plays a big factor."STILL NEEDNot a lot considering they are champions. Maybe some help on the offensive line.
