The Eagles had massive injuries though with Hollis Thomas (breaking his foot on the damn turf, "nooo, we're too good for astroturf, lets switch to nexturf") and Corey Simon and such. Not to mention the Linebacker problems. So in order to counteract that, the Eagles have to leave the corners alone and blitz their safety's like crazy, where Dawkins more often than not comes up with a play.
That defines the best secondary.
The Bucs have an all-star linemen and linebackers. Sub in average corners and safeties and the Bucs still do fine.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
