While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were resting on Sunday after their victory in Philadelphia on Thursday night, other teams in their conference played on Sunday & matched the Buccaneers 5-1 record. And that's where former NFL quarterback Brandon Doughty & Len Martez, better known as the Monday Morning Xtra Point team, focused their discussion about week six in the NFL. Brandon & Len started the podcast by agreeing that the Bucs' running game was a pleasant surprise to their win against the Eagles. The MMXP team's next point of agreement wasn't a positive one for the Miami Dolphins or their fans because in both Brandon & Len's eyes, the Dolphins committed multiple mistakes late in their loss in London against Jacksonville. After discussing the Dolphins dreaded long flight back from England, Brandon & Len touched up on the game that at first glance looked like the game of the week but ended being a one-sided affair. That one-sided contest was the dismantling of the Los Angeles Chargers by the B

Another prime-time game meant the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be on the main stage for all football fans to see & this past Thursday night with their 28-22 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the defending Super Bowl Champs didn't disappoint. But what was surprising was the Buccaneers offensive game plan the team used to leave "The City Of Brotherly" with a win. Prior to the Thursday night game, Trey Downey & Len Martez made predictions on how they thought the Buccaneers would attack the Eagles' defense. But on the morning after the game, Downey & Martez got together for another episode of their podcast & both had to admit, they had it all wrong on how the Buccaneers put up their points. For one, Trey thought the Eagles best shot at beating the Buccaneers would be by getting into a shootout, requiring the Buccaneers to try have short drives to score a lot of points. Meanwhile Len thought with Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady nursing an injured thumb that the Buccaneers would rely heavily on their

With week five of the NFL season wrapping up, the Monday Morning Xtra Point crew, Len Martez & former NFL quarterback Brandon Doughty took a dive into big wins by some of the league's top teams including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers putting up 45 points against the Miami Dolphins. Both Len & Brandon agreed that, at times this season, the Buccaneers have carried opponents into the second half only to easily pull away in the fourth quarter. Brandon also made the point how it's scary to think the Buccaneers aren't consistently running the football & despite scoring more than forty points twice this year, the offense isn't peaking yet. After discussing the Buccaneers second straight win, the MMXP crew both stated the surprise of the week may have been the Philadelphia Eagles winning on the road against Carolina. And even though the Arizona Cardinals are the league's only undefeated team, the podcast didn't end before Brandon remained steadfast that he's not buying them long term because he's just not a fa

The guys began the show by discussing if they thought the moment got to Tom Brady a little bit this past weekend. The guys then pivoted to the rest of the game and Len highlighted one player that impressed him on the offensive side of the ball. It was then time to talk defense, Richard Sherman's performance, and Carlton Davis' injury. That led the conversation into the Bucs losing out on Stephon Gilmore to a division rival. Trey and Len then looked forward to this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. The guys discussed why Miami might just have the most incompetent pair of coordinators in the NFL. The guys wrapped the show as usual by taking a swing around the rest of the league. Trey brought up how hard it was to peg just who the best team in the league is a quarter of the way into the season. The gents also discussed a pair of compelling match-ups that could be a

Trey Downey and Len Martez were back with you to break it all down.  Trey and Len began the show by looking back at the loss to the Rams and pointing out if anything from that game should be particularly worrisome for Bucs fans. The guys then pivoted into the news that Richard Sherman is now a Buccaneer. Downey and Martez discussed where he fits into this secondary once they get fully healthy. Before moving on to this weekend Trey brought up if the Bucs should go after a running back who knows Raymond James Stadium very well.  It was then time to preview Tom Brady's return to New England. The guys discussed what kind of reaction Brady will get from the fans and if there will be any kind of interaction between the quarterback and his former coach. As far as the actual game goes, Trey and Len gave their opinion on what the game would have to look like if the Pats were able to

After waiting two days for the news to break, the Monday Morning Xtra Point crew got together. And former NFL quarterback Brandon Doughty & Len Martez finally got their chance to discuss the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signing free agent cornerback Richard Sherman. During the podcast, Brandon explained why he liked the idea of Sherman joining the Buccaneers, even breaking down how he sees defensive coordinator Todd Bowles using the five-time Pro Bowl cornerback.
