00:00It's not the Tampa Toms show anymore. No, it's time for Chef Baker to get the job done.
00:08347 passing yards, two touchdowns. Bucky Irving, who I'm sure you have things to break down
00:14for us when it comes to him. 49 rushing yards through 10 carries, one tutty himself. Mike
00:19Evans with a big day. 94 receiving yards, found himself in the end zone through eight
00:24receptions also. I mean, the Bucs really did control this game from top to bottom and it
00:28was great to see because of some of the injuries that they have racked up on their roster.
00:33We saw the injury report look extremely questionable there for a second and some other guys get
00:37back involved. But Baker did bake. Tampa grabs another W. They're sitting at 17 to one odds
00:42to top the NFC. What are some big takeaways from the Bucs and the Eagles today?
00:47Oh, this game went basically exactly how we spoke about it on Sunday and Monday. And I
00:53said multiple times that Mike Evans was going to get his and quarterback should keep their
00:58star wide receivers happy. And just because we had a few slow games for Mike Evans, we
01:02were going to get a bounce back game against a bad Eagles secondary. And that's what we
01:06got in. Chris Godwin still had a very solid game overall. And as we had said, and I said
01:12multiple times, I wanted to see Bucky Irving more involved. I want to see Bucky Irving
01:16rushing plus receiving props. We got notes and quotes from Todd Bowles saying we want
01:22Bucky Irving earned more touches, right? And he was going to be involved more and more.
01:27That's exactly what we got. We got a touchdown from him. He hit the over on his rushing plus
01:31proceeding only by a few yards, but he did hit it. Baker continues to look good on the
01:35other side. It's a mess for the Eagles. And I want to say we have to take this with a
01:39grain of salt because a they're missing Lane Johnson when their best offense lineman, they're
01:43missing A. G. Brown, they're missing Devonta Smith. So it was a big sake one game. It was
01:47a big game from Dallas Goddard. As I said, it would be on Thursday when we previewed
01:51this game. Those were going to be the two main players for the Eagles. Did that happen?
01:55Yes. Did they come away with the win? No. So Eagles fans, I know it seems like the earth,
02:00like the sky is falling right now and everyone's calling for Nick Sirianni to be fired, but
02:05they're just not 100% healthy. So I don't know how we can like take this as, oh, they're bad.
02:09They're not 100% healthy. So let's wait and see.
