00:00But they looked awful last week, and it was inexplicable to me that Denver kicked their
00:09ass that badly at Raymond James.
00:12And I know Miami played South Florida in that stadium the night before, but that field wasn't
00:18that bad.
00:19I can't explain what happened to them.
00:21They took the day off, so obviously they can't be trusted.
00:25That's why they're dogs.
00:27By the way, one thing with Tampa, now this is a concern, Vita Vey, their outstanding
00:33defensive tackle, he's got an MCL sprain, still considered questionable at this point.
00:38Their other starting deep tackle, Vermeer's goal, Pitt, right, collagic cancer, he's not
00:42going to play.
00:43He's got a calf injury.
00:44He's yet to play this season.
00:45And Antoine Winfield, one of the best safeties in football, he's not going to play with a
00:49sprained foot.
00:50Now that is a concern.
00:51So you've got defensive injuries for the Bucs.
00:54You've got major injuries on offense.
00:57In fact, the Eagles right now only have three healthy wide receivers.
01:01Jahan Dotson, who they acquired right before the start of the season.
01:05Johnny Wilson, that six-rounder, he's got the six-rounder out of Florida State, who's
01:09been basically a blocking receiver.
01:11And Paris Campbell, who's now on their practice squad, they'll add him before the game.
01:14So they've got injury issues.
01:16But I've got to give Jeff Statlin, the Eagles offensive line coach, credit.
01:21They bring in Fred Johnson to play right tackle in the second quarter for Lane Johnson.
01:25He hasn't started a game in years.
01:27And you know, MaKai Becton leaves the game with that finger injury, and Tyler Steen does
01:31a phenomenal job going in there playing right guard.
01:34That was the story of the game.
01:35And Vic Fangio went with a six-man front.
01:37He cut off those zone runs.
01:39By the way, the Bucs are a zone-running team.
01:41But it cut off those zone runs for Alvin Kamara, and that stole the game.
01:45Although here in Scott, in Philly, the fans are killing Sirianni for the decisions to
01:50go for it, to not go for it, to punt, or not punt.
01:54And they didn't even do the tush push on a fourth and one, which we were surprised with.
01:58Well, I think that the fans are morons, and they're going to hate this guy until they
02:04fire him.
02:05I mean, they've already turned on him.
02:08They flipped a pancake last year when they just absolutely imploded and collapsed.
02:12The deal is, what you had said before, let's go back to what you said before.
02:17To me, the reason is, it's not so much that they're better.
02:20That was weak.
02:21What you said about Tampa's, you know, Vitavec cannot.
02:24There's no reason to play him with a knee sprain in week four.
02:28To me, you don't play him.
02:30And the other defensive liabilities that they have, I would rather have, and you can quote
02:35me on this, without Brown and Smith, it's an issue.
02:39But these other guys can do the job.
02:43If Hertz plays well, he can find guys.
02:45These guys are pros.
02:47I would much rather have those two out if I had to pick it.
02:50I'd be like, okay, I can live it out for another week.
02:52But I cannot live with those three defensive stars out for Tampa that are injured.
02:58That is their liability.
02:59I think that's why they're dogs.
03:02One thing I want to add here, now you mentioned the Eagles injuries, right?
03:05They have a bye in week five, and that obviously will play into what they do.
03:08The Bucs had an embarrassing home loss.
03:10I mean, they never led in that game against Denver.
03:13That shouldn't happen.
03:14Denver really not played well before that point.
03:16Look, who's the better team if everybody's healthy?
03:19Clearly, Philly is.
03:21Baker Mayfield was awesome week one, one of the best games of his career.
03:24Not played at that high level since then.
03:27And that defense that Vic Fangio kind of revamped last week, he changed his defensive front.
03:31They completely shut down the running game, and also Derek Carr.
03:35And that, to me, is the difference in this game.
