Toonstruck 1 » Eagles vs. Buccaneers Game Preview:

5 questions and answers with the enemy The Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to play each other this Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. In order to preview the Eagles’ Week 2 game Philadelphia Eagles Hoodie , I reached out to our associates over at Bucs Nation. Gil Arcia took the time to answer my questions about the upcoming contest. Let’s take a look at his answers.1 - Did the Bucs’ explosive Week 1 performance surprise you? Do you expect them to take a step back or is this team really just that good? Well here’s the thing. I expected the offense to be much improved. I expected them to sneak out of New Orleans with a win. I did not expect them to blow their defense away in that fashion. But I do expect them to come back down to earth a bit. Especially Ryan Fitzpatrick.2 - The Bucs seem to be really banged up on the injury front. What’s your level of concern with DeSean Jackson, Vernon Hargreaves, Brent Grimes, Jason Pierre-Paul, and maybe even Vita Vea potentially out for this game? What’s the plan to replace those guys?Hargreaves is done for the year. Grimes and Vea are still not practicing but Jackson and Pierre-Paul returned to the practice fields. I’m not sure about Jackson’s status due to the concussion protocol, but the chances of Pierre-Paul playing seem to be good.3 - What is the Bucs’ biggest strength? Where do they have the biggest edge in this game?Their biggest strength would have to be their offensive line. Considering how well they played last Sunday and in zone blocking Youth Customized Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys , the OL showed they are much improved. If they want to win, they have to dominate up front.4 - What is the Bucs’ biggest weakness? What concerns you the most about the Eagles?The Bucs have issues with their depth across the board and concerns throughout the secondary especially with Hargreaves done for the year and of Grimes doesn’t play. With that said, the Buccaneers defense could find themselves in a hole early if they allow the Eagles to beat them with their speed.5 - Who wins this game and why? Score prediction? And what are your expectations for the rest of this Bucs season?I have the Bucs going into the bye week at 3-1 with a win this week. As for the score, I’m saying they’ll beat the Eagles 27-23. Their offense will be their best defense.ESPN suggests trade idea for the Eagles It’s widely expected, though not absolutely guaranteed, that the Philadelphia Eagles will make a move before the NFL trade deadline expires later this month. The Eagles have been mentioned in a number of trade rumors lately.One of the recent rumors indicates the Eagles are interested in re-acquiring their all-time franchise leading rusher www.eaglesfootballauthentics.com , LeSean McCoy. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell recently outlined what that trade might look like.Earlier this week, 97.5 The Fanatic radio host Anthony Gargano said he heard the Bills’ asking price for McCoy involves draft picks in the second AND third rounds. That’s obviously too much. Something like this trade proposed by Barnwell is much more palatable. I’m not crazy about the idea of having to root for McCoy given all the off-filed issues, but if it’s not going to cost a ton I could see why the Eagles would be interested. The Eagles project to have three sixth-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft so that’s nothing. Wisniewski is the only thing of value that the Eagles would be giving up, and it’s clear they don’t prefer him as a starter. The tricky part about giving up Wis is that he’s not too far away from being in the starting lineup as Lane Johnson is currently dealing with an ankle injury. If Johnson is out and Jason Peters continues to be bothered by his nagging quad issue, Wis is likely to resume his role at left guard with Isaac Seumalo moving out to play tackle. Then again, the Eagles could always feel like Chance Warmack is capable of stepping up with Wis gone. At least Philadelphia Eagles T-Shirt , I hope they would considering he’s currently counting as a $2 million cap hit just to be a healthy scratch on game day every week.Ultimately, I don’t the Bills do this deal because it’s not a ton of value for them as they operate from a position where they have leverage. The Eagles are the desperate team here, not Buffalo.
