Are the Bucs… in trouble?

6 Touchdowns, 10 Interceptions, 19 Sacks, and the most important stat of all, 2 tablets destroyed

Perhaps my favorite Offense - Defense matchup to watch every year. It's special because alot of people (myself included) often ask 'well why doesn't every team just do that', but it's very specific to the way the two teams have an answer for eachother and not every team has the personnel they both do. We are lucky to get it twice a year.

Man as a saints fan who literally watches every snap of them every year This was a really great breakdown of our defense lol! Keep up the good work 🙌

Finally some love for linebackers ❤. He reminds me of shadier before his injury. But I like how you showed him actually reading the offense

Man your breakdowns and analysis are top tier. You deserve way more recognition with how amazing the quality of your videos are. By far the best football channel on youtube.

Bucs defense has played lights out so far, but man that offense needs to get healthy.

great video, great breakdown, the outro made me feel like I can run through a wall!! I love how you sequence clips, with your audio and have the beat drop at the right moment 10/10

Great breakdown! As a Panthers fan I always enjoy watching these Buvs vs. Saints games. Keep up the fantastic work, man!

4:15 ..& makes Brady uncomfortable w/ pressure right in his *incredibly* old face.. I almost spit out my coffee 😭 Appreciate you Alex!

That video is one of your best, clearly explain and interesting rhythm.

The saints defense has been a Super Bowl defense the past 3-4 years and I think it goes to show how good of a defensive coach Dennis Allen is. They scheme well against most teams except mobile qbs. Jalen hurts has made this defense look like a deer in headlights in two matchups. I also think the bucs defense is another elite defense and have been the past few years as well. As a saints fan these past two years it’s been different because the saints are so used to having an elite offense with Brees and Payton but now without them it goes to show how great these two pieces were to our offense. Lastly, finally Demario gets some love he’s a great linebacker who gets snubbed from pro bowl, madden ratings, etc probably bc he doesn’t get the media attention he deserves but great video!

That tell on play action is crazy! Great find! 🤩

GB has led the league in pressure % per PFF without blitzing.. but they also haven’t played much man. Excited to see how Sunday plays out.

My favorite part of your videos has to be the last phrase before ending it. Nails it every time

Good effort into the content on this channel. Good explainations for people who arent completely football literate.

i love your videos. you do such a great job

Thanks for acknowledging Davis, he’s a top 5 lb in the league. Also for those who think he has the edge because Brady won the divisional, Brady only managed to get 3 field goals on drives that didn’t come off turnovers. It literally took the worst game of drew Brees career for Brady to win.

Another top tier analysis Alex 🙏 I suggest you make a video on the 49ers. They’ve been crapping the bed for absolutely no reason and I’m honestly puzzled they’re not 3-0. Keep up the good work

Always love starting a Saturday with Alex Rollins!

So basically, have elite players on defense and play cover 1 robber.

Great Stuff 🔥

Great breakdown Alex!

Outstanding breakdown!

"His very old face" 💀😂

I have a video idea. The fullback seems to making a comeback in the NFL, could you make a video on how and why?

That was cool!!! I was wondering why the Saints held back Brady so much. Thanks Alex!!

Another excellent video, Sir Alex! This one is very insightful and one of your most revealing. I wonder if Brady will change his play-action tendencies before they play again. I suspect he will. What do you think?

Wonderful, as always.

Bucs have also had quite a bit of bad luck vs. the Saints: first Brady game of 2020, Bucs were pretty clearly the better team, but it's a new offense with no offseason for covid, and receiver errors resulted in two turnovers and a narrow loss. Bucs offense did really well first Saints game last year, but their defense gave up a blow coverage deep TD, then second game they had a rash of injuries and it all went to hell. Brady is still the second fastest time to throw this season despite also being 3rd deepest average target; the problem was the Bucs kept running on 1st down up the middle for 2 yards (the single worst consistency in this offense these 3 years) so Brady had to keep overcoming 3rd and long despite. Which is all to say, the Saints are a bit of a mirage. Yes, they play the Bucs tougher than most teams, but of course, the Brady Bucs have barely lost ANY games to teams not named Saints and Rams. I don't see the Saints as some intractable problem for the Bucs. Bucs are really deep this year. They have the best defense in the league. Brady will lead the best offense in the league, yet again, once his receivers are back. The weirdest thing of the past 20+ years is every year the sports media comes in doubting Tom Brady, and every year he blows away all expectations.

imagine if ESPN or NFL network had 30 min or 1 Hr shows every week dedicated to just this kind of film breakdown. That would be a dream come true. At least we still have the GOAT Alex Rollins giving us some gifts. This kind of stuff is easily the most entertaining football content besides the actual games imo. I know not everyone has the attention span for it or they are just casual fans, but i think this channel and others like it have shown there are a lot of us out here.

Good analysis, Sir.

Also, last week during the Steelers game, on a deep pass that was caught over a Steelers defender that went for a touchdown, one of the announcers said, "He went up and caught the marble rye." I thought, "Alex would be proud." Then after a few exchanges, the other announcer said, "It was real and it was spectacular." I thought, "Okay, now he's just stealing Alex's material!"

Brady will never look old with his endless supply of hair dye

I mean this guy has been playing for like 2 decades, 20 years to figure out a guy is pretty good on that guy, Tom Brady the GOAT.

At least Brady looks much better this year so far than 2015 Peyton Manning.

Honestly, if that Saints offense had played just a bit better I think they would've won! Winston playing hurt doesn't really help the situation but the Saints aren't as much of a pushover as some folks think. Oh and thanks for giving Davis the credit he deserves the guy is an animal.

That's some great info there.

I’ve been saying this is how you beat Brady for the past like 5 years. I couldn’t believe the sacksonville jags wouldn’t run press man at all.

Love the video. Best part is from 10:40 on

You Brady haters will never learn 😂 too funny! The dude will never fall off. He’s going to end up retiring (again) at the top of his game. Love reading these dumb comments. Super casual fans with no clue 🤣

Take away his top 3 WRs, give him a 2nd string O-Line with a couple 3rd stringers on it, and boom. You're good to go.

Can't forget there's always like 4-5 drops a game and 1-2 dropped TDs and tipped INTs that greatly sways the number. The saints also have great timing when it comes to the bucs health at the time of their matches. This past week for instance the bucs were missing 3 of their top 4 targets and then Evans went out so then it became 4 of his top 4 targets. And they were also on their 3rd LT so that completely removed using TEs from the game. But sure it's all the saints.

Its very simple. You just have to injure his entire offense, and then maybe.... just maybe , you might have a shot.

i notice they use a lot of the cover 7 defense on 3rd downs also brady can’t create after 1st hitch in the pocket by using his legs so that helps the saints defense as well

When the defense can’t carry him and when he can’t check the ball down all day, Brady is nothing

Thank God for Jameis Winston then, eh? He really delivered last Sunday for the Bucs in a tight game where the Bucs offence struggled quite a bit.

Awesome point on Brady’s eyes at the start of the snap!

When the Broncos no fly zone was beating him too it was also man coverage for a large portion of time

alex, do you think this is actually his last season?

This is just the best analysis. Bar none.

Thanks. Now the NFL is gonna send him off on top like they forcefully did with Peyton Manning.

so did he fix his tell?

Brady will certainly look better once the offense gets healthy. But the saints have had a complete defense. Stars are every level who can matchup across the board. Few defenses can do that

You take away all his receivers and 60% of his offensive line then he becomes an average NFL qb. What happens to other qb's when that happens?

That's the not-so-secret secret: When you can just man up the other team, you will dominate. Revis Island, Prime Time, Champ Bailey, Ty Law, etc. Almost all of Tom's wort games... and Peyton's, and others are vs man coverage.

How to make Brady look average: have all his offensive starters injured.

How long until you do a "I was wrong on Tua and Jalen" video?

The Bucs beat the Saints in the play-offs when the stakes were the highest and the pressure was greatest.

Part of this is Brady's recievers being injured

At a 1:44 , wr on the 42 hash mark was clearly held.

So who are you going to bet on on Week 13? :) I know it's early, too many things (injuries primarily) can happen in 10 weeks.

Brady is going out ugly, which is the purest form of competitiveness there is. It's why Jerry Rice ended his career randomly and quietly with the Denver Broncos, Emmitt Smith ended it with the Cardinals, Babe Ruth ended it with the Boston Braves and Michael Jordan ended his playing days forgettably with with the Washington Wizards. A true competitor usually doesn't end on top. They far more often end their playing days scraping by, desperately asking for just one more chance, one more opportunity.

ok, Brady might look old in the first two games, but really the lack of production is not his age or skill dropping off, the offense is injured and cant pass protect, if you see the offense they are runing max protect almost every time he drops back. the offense looks different but thats a testament to the GREATNESS of Brady. He above all understands how to win and is just playing to his strengths which is his defense. the reason these other teams arent in the game is because Tom wont force whats not there, thats why he won over Winston. that first dean pic wouldnt have happened because it A. would have been a better throw out in front, or he wouldnt have seen that it wasnt there and went elsewhere, even if it ended in a throwaway. Brady is the goat, and he is proving it yet again in his last year, even if to the regular fan Brady is looking washed

"everything fell apart" after Evans got ejected, but thats when they scored 10 of the 13 offensive points?

That’s so weird I swore Tom Brady was 23

Keep that same energy when his wide receivers come back

Its so fun watching the Saints make Brady look terrible match-up after match-up. Unfortunately, Saints fans were reminded that Mr. 30 for 30 himself is still their quarterback and deemed it was time to strap on the cape and carry his team right to a loss.

I apologize… I knew The Saints ran a ton of the robber coverage but I thought they did some of the same thing the Bills did which you spoke about last video.. Salute

Can we get a CJ Stroud video?

I think think 2 high safety is about to go away, teams know the run game has to come back, so fast powerful safeties and lime backers are about to be gold. The buccs showed the blueprint and now the nfl is ahout to to copy it, it just so happens that that style of defenses is the best way to stop their QB

Remember when he beat them in the playoffs en route to a super bowl?

Someone should show Joe Barry this video

Step 1: Make him play in a competitive division

The secret to shutting down Tom Brady? Pay off the officials...

Pissed off at his O line*

Greatest ever and can’t sell play-action! 😂

Bucs will have the game but no cakewalk. I think the Buc's will start late and win the game late. This is going to prove Tom's true worth as he has no "elite" recievers he takes paycuts for to help him this coming game. I am going to be bold and say Bucs win 24 and Packers 21. Probably OT as well. I like both teams too and wish Davante Adams was still a Packer. Is Aaron not in the same boat as well as Tom? Exciting stuff.

It's a bummer that the Saints built an amazing defense as soon as Drew Brees left. Brees would have won another Superbowl if he had anything close to this defense throughout his Saints tenure

Every time brady has lost a playoff or serious game in the past 10 years, it's been due to his receivers or offensive line being injured. A healthy bucs team is not losing to anyone

I hope you send this to the Packers

For the love of god can you lower the intro volume by like 30%?

Oh noo, you gave brady insight

If you wanna make TB look old. Just drop something on the floor, as a fellow 40 yr old I can relate. And then at 40 you make someone younger pick it up for you! TB gettin it done son!

Good job saints. I grew up in nh, and while not really a patriots fan, but Brady is a traitor to me

The Bucs are really knicked up. They were last year as-well. Brady is winning the Superbowl this year so idrc abt the Saints aslong as they don't injure our players again.

How to make Tom Brady average: take out his top 3 wide receivers

But then Evans Will Smith'd Marshon Lattimore 😂

Joe Barry take fckin notes please!!!

The lack of receiving talent really does not help

How to make Brady average..? Age him to 45, injury to all his top receivers, o-line has to be rookies and injury riddled. Take away Gronk. There you go.

Through 2 games, Brady hasn't looked like Brady. Its only 2 weeks in, but he isn't the same player the last couple weeks

Sorry but he's missing his Center, Guard, and Left Tackle. Oh not to mention 2 of his top 3 receivers in both games because of injury or getting kicked out the game. I don't know any QB that will look good under those circumstances young or old. Hell I'm a diehard Colts fan who actually lived thru all of Brady's years with the Pats so I guess I'm just saying this from experience and trauma but let's pump the brakes on how old Brady looks until he gets some semblance of his real offense around him. At one point he didn't even have the backup Center to Jensen right? Yea nobody is going to look good with all that going on

So that's why they always beat the bucs. .. Damn. . You'd think the Rams would have the players to cover everyone on the bucs 1on1.

I’m confused who won the game though??? 🤔

Hope Joe Barry sees this Go Pack

Injure his oline?

Also you failed to put the saints love to hold jam in the receiver is good but holding the receiver come on bro he just beat them again too give them a beating beat down who that saints.

After the Latimore/Evans ejections the bucs dominated the game. Bucs have won the games that matter the most. Playoffs

look old? i mean he is already old regardless.
