WEBVTT - The Post-Game Show: Eagles defeat the Bills 23-20 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.640 In a game that felt like a playoff atmosphere at 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:05.840 Lincoln Financial Field, Darren Sprowles went in for one yard 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:08.000 out to put the Eagles on the board early seven 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:11.440 to nothing, and after amassing three hundred and forty eight 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.960 total yards, This touchdown the first career by wide receiver 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:18.080 Nelson Aglare from fifty three yards out, help put the 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.320 Eagles over the top, beating the Buffalo Bills by score 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.959 of twenty three to twenty. Hello everyone, I welcome to 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.600 the postgame show presented by Rico Here in Philadelphi Eagles 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.080 dot Com. I'm Chris McPherson alongside former Eagles linebacker Ike Reece. 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.720 Can we all breathe a sigh of relief? Ed Reynolds 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.560 coming up huge gang his first career interception off Tyra Taylor. 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.000 It was Taylor's first interception since going back to Week four, 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.560 all the way back to October to seal the Eagles win. 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.440 They now get to six and seven on this season, 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.320 a much needed win obviously, very tough, but offense, defense, 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.440 and Nike once again special teams all contributing to this 0:00:55.560 --> 0:01:02.440 all important victory. Yeah, Casis of this team, That's exactly 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.640 what you need. Down to stretch Eagles second win in 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.360 a row. Nice to get a win at home considering 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.200 the last couple of home games the Eagles had played. 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.880 I just thought it was a well fought game on 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:18.160 both sides of the football, both teams, both teams battling 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.600 to remain in the playoff contention. And that's the way 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.959 the game turned out. Neither one of these teams wanted 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.560 to give up. They fought to the end and took 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.160 a great play by safety A Reynolds to come up 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.840 with his first career interception to seal his victimy for 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.760 the Eagles. And that's what you need in situations like this. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.480 You need everyone on the roster, whomever is active for 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.399 the game, to step up and make a big play. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.559 And as you said, like the Eagles get their second 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.560 win in the row.

Welcome back to the postgame 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.360 show presented by Rico here in Philadelphia Eagles dot com 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.600 speaking something to celebrate. The Eagles beat the Buffalo Bills 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.400 twenty three to twenty and I coming to this game. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.600 The big story was the return of one Lashawn McCoy, 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.600 But I thought the player on defense who affected McCoy 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.840 the most was Fletcher Cox. And you go back to 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.320 late in the fourth quarter, McCoy trying to move the 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.120 Buffalo offense and Cox gets in the backfield for a 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.120 loss of ten yards. It was a situation where time 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.080 after time again Cox could not be defeated. Yeah, I 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.880 mean Fletcher affects everyone every week. I mean, I clearly 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.960 believe this is the best player on the defensive side 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.280 of the ball, arguably the best player on this Eagles 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.599 football team. And Fletcher Cox, I mean, he's just been 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.960 dominant all year long. I thought Shady had some moments 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.600 here and there, but for the most part, I thought 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.679 our defense did a great job of keeping him, keeping 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.039 the big play from happening with Shady. McCoy had the 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.240 one run of twenty four yards, but that was about it. 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.839 Everything else, he had green hats around him at all times. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.400 When he wanted to do his little cutback moves, it 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.360 was somebody there waiting for him. And like you just meant, 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.960 far too often for the Bills, Fletcher Cox was in 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.160 the backfield, I mean penetration, Richie Incognito, whoever they had 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.760 in front of Fletcher Cox could not block him today. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.000 And it was clear to me that this Eagles defense 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.719 was determined to hold Shady and check as much as possible. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.159 They understand how great of a player McCoy is, but 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.680 they weren't about to low Shady just run up and 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.200 down the field here at the length to day, and 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.400 I thought they did a fantastic job. It's funny because 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.240 all week we heard from McCoy's perspective and how he wanted. 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.880 I remember Tedan zach ERT's tongue reporters earlier in the 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.200 week that he could envision McCoy want to set the 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.279 all time single game NFL rushing record. But to the 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.600 guys on the defensive side of the football for the Eagles, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.480 they have pride as well. They saw McCoy in practice 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.960 each and every day and probably at time said, boy, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.520 you're never going to be able to pull that off 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.520 in a game situation. I would love to get a 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.240 chance against you, and they had that today. And I 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.000 want just credit Cox upfront, but the guys on the edges, 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.760 Brandon Graham and Connor Barwin making sure that McCoy could 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.920 not get to the outside because the D line did 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.800 a great job of funneling things to the outside to them. 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.080 But they had to remain discipline against a very difficult 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.240 quarterback to containing Tyra Taylor, who obviously could beat it 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.440 with his arm. And we saw some of those deep passes, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.640 some great touch throws on his part, but also the 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.000 ability to scramble as well. Yeah, and I'll tell you 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.760 I know we make a lot of our shady coming 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.760 back in and how we didn't want him to have 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.320 a big day. But this defense has been trying to 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.440 redeem itself since they give up gave up ninety points 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.520 in two consecutive games against Tampa and Detroit. So they 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.000 wanted to get back to playing football the way they 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.440 had played the first half of the season. So these 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.880 guys had pride. I think they loved the fact that 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.919 they were able to go up to New England last 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.680 week and basically dominate that offense for three and a 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.919 half quarters, and they wanted to carry that over. You 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.520 want to be playing your best football at this time 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.680 of the year, and the Eagles had a little blip 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.479 in the schedule there for a couple games on the 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.880 defensive side of the ball. They certainly seem to be 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.119 back playing football the way they've become accustomed to. Still 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.120 need to clean up a few plays in the passing 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.640 game deep wise, but for the most part, I thought 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.080 they were After Tyree Rod Taylor all game. He didn't 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.440 look as comfortable in the pocket. This is a guy 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.120 who came into the game completing sixty five percent of 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.160 his passes one hundred and four quarterback rating, with the 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.680 exception of that pass early to Sammywaukee's everything else they made, 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.320 the Bills have to earn every blade of grass today 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.640 and seem like every time the Taylor or someone on 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.400 the offense made a play, it was coming back through 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.440 the penalty. Yeah. I forget the exact final total of penalties, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:33.000 but time after time again, the Bills just very undisciplined 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.840 on the both sides of the football. But pretty much 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.640 it's a situation where we always say, how the Eagles 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.400 have those self inflicted wounds, Well, the Bills had tons 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.440 of them today. Well that's a staatefule of a Rex 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.480 Ryan coach team. A little undisciplined. You know, it typically 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.360 comes from the defensive side of the football, where guys 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:54.000 are getting personal fouls and things of that nature. But 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:55.720 even on the offensive side of the ball, I just 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.120 thought their offensive line hurt them repeatedly, putting them in 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.400 negative situations, fall starts and things that in ages. So 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.480 but that's the mark of a Rex Ryan coach team. 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.360 You know, he's he flies off the hand to a 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.640 little bit, and his teams so to play that way, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.520 and they play a little on discipline and the day. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.800 It calls him big time. Okay, we're gonna hear from 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.480 head coach Chip Kelly in just a few moments, but 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.400 first we're gonna go to the Lincoln Financial Field and 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:21.440 gets the instant reaction from Eagles insider Davis Spadarow. It 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.800 was a thriller in South Philla on Sunday, the Eagles 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.840 holding off the Buffalo Bills twenty three to twenty and 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:32.160 after a week of drama, the football game out hyped 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.559 the hype. It was a great football game here in 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.280 the Eagles winning the game their second in a row. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.760 They're six and seven, still tied for first place in 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.079 the NFC East with the Washington Redskins. How did they 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.680 do it? They vaulted to a twenty to ten lead 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.480 early in the third quarter, held on down the stretch. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.080 The Eagles tied up at twenty all late in the 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.160 fourth quarter a big passing play from Sam Bradford to 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.280 Zacherts taking the ball down to the eighteen yard line 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.880 of the Buffalo Bills, and while the drives stalled, Kay 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.160 Sturgis came on for his third field goal of the 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.880 game that gave Eagles a twenty three to twenty lead. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.000 And then Buffalo in the final minute, throwing down the 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:13.640 field passed intercepted over the top by safety Ed Reynolds, 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.839 who earlier in the game in the first quarter was 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.640 beaten on a similar play for a touchdown. This time 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.160 he was in the right position for the takeaway and 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.240 the Eagles hold on. As for Lashawn McCoy's return to 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.160 Lincoln Financial Field, a mixture of booze and cheers when 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.480 he came out as the lone Buffalo captain, mostly booze. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.400 As for his performance, twenty carried seventy four yards. He 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.319 was over one hundred yards in total offense, but really 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.959 not a factor in this football game. The Eagles defense 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.079 bending a lot, they didn't break in the end, they 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.680 had the key takeaway and they hold on for the 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.000 twenty three to twenty victory. A huge one for this 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:57.440 Philadelphia Eagles football team. Thank you so much, Dave. I 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.520 love hearing the excitement in his voice. You can tell 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.760 how pump he is and that must have been feeding off. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.560 And you you were at the game for the first half, 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.600 so you can explain. Oh, let's say it to the lake, 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:15.559 Chip Kelly speaking to the media. Now, my ks round 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.360 the sure happened my gas how they played out on 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:24.400 my job specifically, we talked about being really good tappers. Yeah, 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.319 I thought to be a d jack almost part on that. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.240 You know, we struggle a little bit on quote that 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.000 point where we know that talk about it. Really he's 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:35.440 just such an if he guy, you gotta contain the quartback. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:43.480 I think job that'll face buddy as emocasters all last 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:48.120 come contributions. Special teams had to turn off cont des 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.200 con stuff and that I thought, real, we'll talk good, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.160 I thought such. You know again, he's played really, really well. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.360 He did to say thing against the Patriots last week 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.880 in terms of he spends a lot of time in 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.199 the other team's backfield and I think maybe sometimes the 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.080 only thing they can do is try to hold him 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:11.040 from getting in there. So, um, you know, he's been 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.880 a very very disruptive force for us, and we think 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.199 he's playing outstanding right now. Sam played and what was 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.600 your bandage? I thought Sam played outstanding. Um, he really 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.520 put the ball on guys today. There weren't any real 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.920 errand throws. Um, we had a couple of drops that 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:25.480 we if we if we caught those, I mean, I 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.440 think he's he did a great job on the sack. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:29.800 I just haven't had a chance to talk to him 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.160 about I don't know if he knew how much time 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.199 was left, the punt would have run off in the 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.120 amount of time to two minute. But I think he 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.880 was just trying to be a little bit cautious. Um. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.440 But I haven't had a chance to discuss the last 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.720 that last one with him. What did you see taking 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.840 some shots down the field of force when starts down 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.520 to some mons, What did you say that? Well, they 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.200 play a lot of zero coverage, you know, and those 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.640 safeties are down in tight so when they do that, Um, 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.040 you know, you can't allow people to do that. You 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.000 need to take some shots down the field. So we 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.199 hit Nellie. We missed two on one. We threw the 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:57.720 ball over the top on the first play. A coupe 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.400 just didn't come down with it. But I think if 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.480 people are gonna playing that style of defense, and you 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:02.719 have to be able to go over the top on 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.959 him and um, you know, we hit a couple of 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.080 them and it was, uh, it was big for us. 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.560 Very well. Yeah, I mean, I just think our our 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.480 team is playing together as a team. I think all 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.960 three phases are playing well we can. Obviously, there's still 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.520 things we always have to clean up, and there's those 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.360 things we can get better at. But I think, um, 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.120 we're playing really good team football. I think on the 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.439 defensive side, we're tackling well right now, um, and we're 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.680 getting a lot of contributions from our special teams. We've 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.640 got some big plays out of the offense today. I 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.360 thought it was huge And that's a really good point. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.800 I thought he he punted it outstanding today. And I 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.800 think that, you know, really we talked about trying to 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.320 flip the field and punt and he really did there. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:42.719 Some of those it was just wow. I mean, he 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.439 was hitting some bombs out there. So I don't know 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.000 what his final stats were, what he came up with, 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.120 but um, I think that and combined with the guys 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:50.760 covering on the outside, I thought our gunners did a 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.840 really good job. Um. You know the big play by 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.600 Jalen there obviously, Um, but I think when we can 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.680 cover when he's putting that, well, uh, it's really gonna 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.240 help us here. Yeah, I running backs were split pretty evenly. Uh, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.559 DeMarco got some some short yardage up for you to 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.559 look like. I think he got everything whether it's first down, 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.839 second out, third down. I think again, Truce was just 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.760 rolling those guys. They all merit playing time, and they're 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.880 all getting playing time after seeing me walking said that, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.480 you know, big touchdown earlier. What do you think of 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.760 the job you guys getting as I thought, our guys 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.520 did a really good job defensively. You know, we we 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.160 knew we were going to be challenged. We knew we 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.800 had to tackle well. We knew we had a quarterback 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.760 that was mobile m and you got to be aware 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.640 of him. But we got to stay in coverage. You know, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.760 we gott allow the rush to get home against him. Um, 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.360 But I thought, overall, I thought our defense played well. Yeah, 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.760 McCoy had like sixty three yards in the ground the 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:35.800 first half, not much after that was something that was 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.640 done differently. No, I think nothing changed I think from 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.880 first half to second half. But again I think our overall, 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.559 I thought, I thought our guys tackled her well on 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.640 the defense side of the ball. Last play, what is 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.000 it reynolds responsibility that's looking to play catch the ball? 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.000 Did it so he gets to check? I mean he 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.520 was a deep safety and they tried to go over 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.480 the top and um, he's got to give the corner 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.040 support on that and just made a great play, made 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:00.439 a great range on the ball, and then made a 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.439 real good decision. If we don't want to we practice that. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.559 But you know, sometimes you get excited and start to 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:05.800 try to run it back. We don't need him to 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.520 run it back. We can run the clock out. I 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.240 thought he made a real smart decision just to get 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.240 down right there. And when he gets down, then we 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.000 just put our offense on the field to line up 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.480 and take an ee. So you guys yelling for him 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.760 to get down, we were just cheering him on. I 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.720 wanted big catch, Zach Ertz At what you see. They 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:27.280 were in press coverage and um it was Huff. Help 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.600 was trying to run a slant and the guy had 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.240 just had him wrapped up and he couldn't get through 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.760 the whole thing. And I think the guy covering arts 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.760 ran into that whole pile up, you know, Uh, the 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.080 corner Huff and the safety went flying about. You know, 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.600 Huff was trying to get off the line of scrimmage. 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.080 They want to let him get off the line of scrimmage. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.040 And Zach not only made a great catch, but just 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.840 a great run after the catch, and that was obviously 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.600 a huge play for us at that point. Time makes 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.080 results on drive before and the half. What went right 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:52.920 on this one? That think I need to feel, you know, 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:54.280 I think our guys know what we want to do. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.160 We had coverage that we could get the ball out 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.720 of bounds on the sideline. Um, you know, we had 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.400 an interesting anario there when they said his knee was 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:02.720 down and then they told us there was a ten 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.400 second runoff, so we had to use our time out 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.120 at that point in time. You know, we would have 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.480 liked to have saved it if he's out of bounds 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.080 and we have an extra time out more in good shape. 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.560 But then our guys have to learn and we'd practice 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:12.840 at all the time on how to operate without a 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.320 time out. I thought they did a really good job 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.000 and we got that last one to coop to get 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.000 us into a better field goal range, and then you know, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:19.480 that was huge for us. You know, when you defer, 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:20.840 you're trying to score points at the end of the 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.680 first half and then trying to score at the beginning 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.000 of the second half, so you know, you're trying to 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.800 get in that dual situation there. So that was good 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.440 for us. Where's Nelson compared to where you'd like to 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.120 see him at this point, We're expecting him to be 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.520 had a big touchdown catchman still had a couple of jobs. 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.920 Where's Nelson He's in locker room taking a shower. I mean, 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.400 he isn't a good spot. I mean, I think you 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.080 want him to. Obviously, you'd like everybody to make every 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.520 catch and do everything. But I thought he made a 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.560 really big play for us. He missed a really good 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.560 portion in there. With that high ankle sprain. That's difficult 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:50.920 for a skill player to come back from. It's a 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.840 little bit easier for our offensive, our defensive linement to 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.880 come back from that injury. But because of how those 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.600 guys have to change and move direction, I think he's 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.560 still getting them feet underneath them. But that goodness he 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.080 was area was a heck of a heck of a 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:02.960 catch on the post rout for a touchdown. You see 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.000 more assistency team, Well, yeah, I mean I think they're 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.400 they're playing better in all three phases. There's still a 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:10.640 lot of things we have to correct and we have 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.200 to clean up. But um, you know, against two good opponents, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.240 you know, to come out with two w's here. You know, 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.040 you're in December and you're two and ow in December. 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.000 But um, as I told the said guys the same 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.960 thing in locker room, we gotta get some sleep and 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.320 get ready to go because we got a really good 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.080 Arizona team coming back in here on next Sunday. So sorry, Jie. 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.600 How much of that do you think it's attribute attributed 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.680 to Sam coming back? I think it's everybody. I mean, 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.000 every single guy on our team. Practice last week we 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.120 had nobody limited, Uh, nobody was you know, everybody was up, 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.560 nobody DMP. You know when you get to this point 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:41.080 in time of the season, when you get not only 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.200 the ten on your practice caurd, but the fifty three 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.360 act of guys. We have everybody practicing right now. That 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.560 means everybody in really good health. We're not we don't 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.000 have to say, hey, let's try to get this guy 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.600 to the game on Sunday. Um, we can really train, 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.320 and I think our strength and conditioning staff has done 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:55.800 a really good job with our training stuff on that. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.720 So I think it's all of those guys. Having them 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.200 all back I think is really helpful to get and 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.200 Ryan Matthews back was big for us, I think, and 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.400 obviously I said earlier, I think Sam's playing really really 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.560 well right now? Were you guys, what's up? What was 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:07.920 it point that we were going to play all for 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:12.520 and the deuce was going to rotate him a Ryan 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.159 Matthews and all just because you haven't played. We just 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:15.800 knew we had four healthy backs and we're gonna try 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.040 to use him. But we didn't think we were going 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.760 to have to run anybody, you know into the ground today, 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.199 just because we have depth at that position. So there 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.800 were a lot of on the throw to sell it 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.560 inside the five. Look the replays of like to followed 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.880 in the ground. Did you get any explanation, further explanation 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.000 from popular or anybody on that play. Yeah, I just 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.919 got that they couldn't couldn't overrule it. They didn't. They 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.600 don't really give you an explanation. I just tell you 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.040 that they couldn't overrule it. So you spent a lot 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:41.960 of this past week answer your questions about stuff they're 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.040 really not related to on the field. That did you 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.920 feel like at any point you became a distraction for 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:48.399 the team and how do you think if so? They 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.720 responded Now, I mean, I just a lot of it, 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.720 to me is tabloid journalism that they're just trying to 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.359 stress things up, but it doesn't affect us. I mean, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.680 we were playing the Buffalo Bills and really well coached 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.080 team by rets Ryan that has a really a lot 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.119 of really good players. But when people want to make 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.720
