Bucs-Eagles perfect Monday Night opener
The opening Monday night game is exactly what you
would draw up: a rematch of last year's
NFC title game between Tampa Bay and
Philadelphia. Two of the best teams in all
of football and the opening of a new
stadium in the same town where the
Buccaneers won the right to go to the
Super Bowl last year. Tampa sent the
Eagles into a long offseason, and one
thing all playoff teams except one have in
common is that all end their season with a
loss and that loss sticks with you until
the next season starts.

Donovan McNabb needs both his arm
and legs if Philly wants revenge
against Tampa Bay. |
Going into that
championship game the Eagles were the
favorite to win at home in the cold
weather and the Buccaneers came in and
eliminated them. Philly was forced to sit
at home and watch the Buccaneers win the
prize the Eagles felt was theirs. Then the
schedule came out in March and they knew
that they would get a chance for a little
revenge.
I say a little because even if they win
this game, it is not going to replace the
loss they suffered in the biggest game of
2002. As a result of the schedule these
teams went through their training camps
and preseason with the rematch in mind.
What I have found is that the things
one team does to another don't usually
happen the next time around. For example,
the Eagles weren't able to put enough
pressure on Brad Johnson. Jim Johnson, the
Eagles defensive coordinator, knows he has
to find a way to put more pressure on
Johnson. That usually means some blitzing.
The thing that has to worry the coaches
is that Johnson has become so calm and
confident that it is hard to shake him. I
think with the crowd, the stadium and the
hoopla, that is what Philadelphia is going
to try to do and I am not sure the Eagles
will be able to. But even if they do
rattle Johnson, the Eagles have to stop
the run.
I can see both teams using two-tight
end formations and running the ball.
Against Tampa's defense you have to be
able to do that. The Bucs have a very good
pass rush and if the Eagles get in a
passing situation, the front four will be
able to put pressure on Donovan McNabb,
and Tampa Bay plays the cover 2 zone
better than any one has ever played it. To
get them out of that you have to be able
to run on throwing downs and throw on
running downs and not leave yourself a
long third down play. That should provide
them with the mixture they need to be
successful on offense.
McNabb has the ability to throw on the
run, and that will put pressure on the
Tampa defense. If they want to play the
cover 2 and run the middle linebacker deep
on passing downs, the Bucs will be open to
the long run by McNabb. On defense, the
one person that isn't always accounted for
is the quarterback but you can't afford to
do that against Philadelphia because
McNabb will hurt you with his legs.
The Eagles offense has to go into this
game making sure it doesn't allow the
Tampa defense to beat it. They have to be
sure not to allow the Bucs defense any
points.
The Buccaneers had a few bumps in the
preseason. Shelton Quarles broke his arm
during preparation for this game, forcing
Nate Webster into the lineup at middle
linebacker. Don't get me wrong, Nate
Webster is a good player, but the
Buccaneers will still have to do some
adjusting.
The Tampa offensive line has been
juggled a bit, too, and that will take
some adjusting as well. During the
preseason this team was very confident
coming off the Super Bowl and I don't
think that injuries or shuffling will
effect them. Jon Gruden won't let them be
anything but a confident team.
On offense the Bucs have a good
mixture. When you think of Jon Gruden you
think of a passing coach, but with this
team's defense he wants to be able to run
the ball and let that defense win the
game. Philadelphia is just the opposite.
The Eagles need their offense on the field
to control the clock and win the game for
them.
Pass protection will be a problem this
week for the Eagles because Tampa has such
a strong defensive line. That starts with
Warren Sapp, and the Eagles will have to
double-team him sometimes. That leaves
them in a one-on-one situation with
Anthony "Booger" McFarland, as well as
Simeon Rice and his speed coming from the
end. You don't want to get into those
situations very often because if the
Eagles are forced to pass that plays into
the hands of the Tampa defense.
This is the heavyweight championship
kind of fight. This is what you want to
see. These are the exciting games you look
forward to. You don't have to manufacture
anything. Opening weekend, the new
stadium, the championship game rematch.
These are two of the best teams in the NFL
duking it out to see who can get their
season started the way that every team
wants to.

Return to Top
Yes, the movies
repeat often. Yes, they are vintage. Yes, they are
quite good and a welcome relief from the blood bath
featured in so many of our contemporary films.
I am speaking, of course, about the features on
HDNet Movies.
The contrast hit
me this weekend. Saturday I decided to pop for a
Dish pay-per-view. I wanted a taste of the
contemporary. If I was to review only picture and
sound quality I would give this flick a 7 out of 10.
But this Gary Gray directed hodge podge (A Man
Apart) had a misguided Vin Diesel endlessly wiping
out drug lords and their armies. These drug mobsters
had taken umbrage, it seems, to Diesel and his band
of DEA agents fiddling with their business and so
had bumped off his wife to send a message. That set
Diesel on a vengeful slaughter which was neither a
moral story nor one where any moral could be drawn.
The failed in every way to warm your heart. At least
the characters that succumbed by the second reel
were so thinly drawn that you couldn't possibly care
who took the next slug any more than you might from
the next digitally created "bad guy" to jump up in a
video game. What is it about destruction that
tantalizes us? As a movie it was well-enough
crafted. It met the specs, as it were, and looked
like it cost a bundle.
 The
Contrast
Today was different.
I entered my HDTV room
after some office time. My eyes flashed with delight
to the big Cinemascope shaped screen drawn to
perfection on my HDTV. There, on a gilded stage
(with a full orchestra in the pit) was Rosalind
Russell belting out "Everything's Coming Up Roses."
It was one of her career best in the 60's film
classic "Gypsy." (The words from that song could be
HDTV's anthem.) The transfer was fine (as with all
of the HDNet Movies I have seen so far), but more
than that it was a treat to see performers who
looked like they might have graduated from
Julliard rather than a 7-to-life term from Folsom
Prison. Thank you Mark Cuban for a lovely Sunday
afternoon and evening. Catch Gypsy today at
