I'm gonna give you your jest due. I 39 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: don't care if you're thirty two. Your play like it 40 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: was twenty two. So this is what I'm won't say 41 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: about you, Hamilton. Great job, job like that. That's a 42 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: double the week. 43 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: And it's crazy because the guy who I'm going to 44 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: get my double of the week it's Jayden Lane. And 45 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: if you look at that point return, the last man 46 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: running with him was Hamleton. 47 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: So this guy was one of those guys that day. Man, 48 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: he was on win. 49 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 2: But I got to get my double the week to 50 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: Jay Lane. Man, I've been saying for the last few weeks. 51 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: In order for us to get back into the winning column, 52 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: you know, we had to just do some things that 53 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 2: we haven't been doing. Offensively, you know, we're paid to 54 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: score a touchdown, so that's to me, that's the obvious 55 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: thing to do with offense. But defensively, you know, we 56 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: had to kind of you know, pick our game up 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: a notch, get some turnover, make some turnovers, probably try 58 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: to score and special teams. 59 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: To me, I think that's huge. 60 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: When you can score on special teams, especially in that 61 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: return game, that gives you a greater chance to win. 62 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: Chang changes game. 63 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: So when you look at that game, we won the game, 64 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: what twenty nine twenty one, Right, if we didn't score, 65 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: we still withd have won. But still that score, that 66 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: score changed the momentum of the game in the first half. 67 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: So I think that was huge for Lane. I think 68 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: that was huge for a team as a whole. And 69 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: that's what you need right now going to these late 70 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: games this year. Man, you got to be special on 71 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: special teams, and he did just that. 72 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: To two great guys, great doves of the week for 73 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: you guys. With them picking those two, I'm gonna go 74 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: to my double week, I'm gonna give it to Bill 75 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: Dollar Bill, Bill Crosskey Marrit had eighteen carries ninety six 76 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: yards in the touchdown. 77 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: I wanted to see him go one hundred. 78 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to get up to get over one hundred 79 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: yards rush and that would have been great. But just 80 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: in that game, man, when you look at he loves 81 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: playing against the Giants' first game of the season open 82 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: the game of the season, he went ten carries for 83 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: eighty two yards, had a touchdown against them, and then 84 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: come back this game. It's something about the way he 85 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: ran against the Giants. This time he ran. You know, 86 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: you got the electricity, the ability to jump in and 87 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: our great vis and stuff like that, but he ran 88 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: with more power than that. 89 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 3: This was a beat and see yet that's what he did. 90 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 3: It wasn't outside he was. 91 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: He was. He was very decisive downhill downhill, hitting holes 92 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: and running with great physicality. So I'm gonna get, yeah, 93 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: get my double the week to Dollar Bill. 94 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: Matt's huge too, And I also felt like Bill took 95 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: that he was he was offended a little bit going 96 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: into that game. Felt like, you know, I don't have 97 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: nothing against these other backs. But when Rodriguez go down, 98 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: I should get. 99 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: The nod to be starting again. 100 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 4: And when I didn't see him start. 101 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: I was like, well, you know what, this guy who 102 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: starting the game, he deserves it too, because Nicholas has 103 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: been running the ball, you know, with that same kind 104 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: of passion. So I thought when I saw Bill getting there, 105 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: I saw a different kind of running style, you know, 106 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 2: I mean ran he did put on the ground, but 107 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: when he put them on the ground, that button got touched. 108 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: He has a different electricity than I'm sorry, he sees 109 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: it too. 110 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: He got he got vision like like like no other man. 111 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: All right, yeah, that's a good one. All right, fellas, 112 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 2: it's time to get into this weekend's matchup on this 113 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: edition of fast Lane. Fast Lane presented by Eastern Automotive Group, 114 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: Any car, any way for everyone. Since nineteen eighty eight, Feilas, 115 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 2: we got Marrioda man, he got the gnad for the 116 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: rest of the year, since we shutting down. 117 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,119 Speaker 1: You know, Jaden J five. 118 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: What you want to see from our offense man, for 119 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: us to jump on the head of these these birds man, 120 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: these eagles, man to make them not get off the 121 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: ground offensively trench warfare. 122 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: I want to see the fat boys go to war 123 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: where they've been, where the Eagle's been beating us set 124 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: for the last couple of years. Officive line, defensive line, right, 125 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 3: that has changed the game. The question is campaign and 126 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 3: the rest of these guys play on the other side 127 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: of the ball. Can our offensive line Lara me Tonshaw condently, 128 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: can they move these boys? You got Brandon Graham over there, 129 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: you got different type guys. I want to see. Can 130 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: we move these guys off the spot? There's a big question. 131 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be paramount. Anytime you're dealing with 132 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: a team like Philadelphia and you got in a defense 133 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: like Big Fangio aggressive, Well, not only that, a lot 134 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: of times he's gonna play that cover to that two 135 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: shell cover for and have his four man front try 136 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: to stop the run. Can we run the football effectively 137 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: against that formt rush? You look at the Eagles, man, 138 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: they've had all kinds of struggles this year. Not the 139 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: same type of team, not the same defense that they 140 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: were a year ago. And I was doing a little research, man, 141 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: I looked at Philly just from a let's look at 142 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: just from a rush defense standpoint this year in between 143 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: last year, last year, they were only giving up one 144 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: hundred and four yards rushing per game, and they were 145 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: tenthing in the league stopping the run. This year they 146 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: given up one hundred and twenty six yards rushing per 147 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: game twenty second. Yeah, that's a big difference. That's a 148 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: big jump, big big jump and just being able to 149 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: stop the run, and they quite frankly have. Now there's 150 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: been some teams like the Chicago win in there ran 151 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: for almost three hundred yards. What they do there with Chicago? 152 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: Do they running the ball? They went in there and 153 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: ran the ball. In Philadelphia ran the ball all of them. So, 154 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, you talk about what do I want to 155 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: see for them his offense, I want to see another 156 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: commitment to running the football football. Don't ask Marcus to 157 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: have to. You can't have him dropping back so one 158 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: of the thirty plus times against his defense, because if 159 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: you do that, they're gonna they will in accept the 160 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: ball in the turn, they'll turn the ball over. But 161 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: let's let's let's have a great commitment to run the football. 162 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, what are some of the things that because you know, 163 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 2: speaking of running them football, I mean that's you know, 164 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: and and I think folks finding are anytime they hear 165 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: a receiver, you know, saying that, Hey, I'm all about that, 166 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: because I understand. I look, I grew up in those 167 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: kind of systems. You know, you can chool from the 168 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: high school to call at um they were, We ran 169 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: that same style. We're gonna run the ball first and 170 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: second down, third down, y'all boys get busy. So with 171 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: that being said, if we do have that mindset that 172 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: we took into the New York up last week, we're 173 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: running the ball first and then finding those guys on 174 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: the outside, what do you think terry them will be 175 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: able to do with this this secondary Because I know 176 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: one guy that stands out till He's a Florida boy, 177 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: so he plays sticky. He's one of those guys that 178 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: love y'all love any matchup. But I want to know, j'all, 179 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: if Queen. 180 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 4: Jum Mitchell could catch the ball, he'll have ten. 181 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: Like that's how good this kid is. 182 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: Sticky, coverage, fast, quick out of his cuts, and he 183 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: want them guys like I always judge a ConA on 184 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: how you play comebacks, Like that's that one route that 185 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: when when wide receivers sell out and say I'm finna 186 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 3: go deep, then they stop come back if you can 187 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 3: stop that route. They tell me you a genuine cornerback 188 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: in this league, and Queen Young Mitchell is that dude. 189 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: The question is how can we play action off of 190 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 3: everything we do with the run. Can't that separate us 191 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: and give us a chance to make play, especially with 192 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: Mariota in there? 193 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, and you talk about Queen Yon, I don't 194 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: think the Jahn Yeah, I don't think he gets enough. No, 195 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: he he is. 196 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 3: The third corner is the people where people been attacking him. 197 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: When he moves in, they go to the third corner 198 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: and they attack the third outside corner. 199 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that that second dary back. Then I don't 200 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: know if there's safety play, it's as good as it 201 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: has been in the past. You know, if we can 202 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: try to get we can attack them, to attack them 203 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: in the second get up to the safe safeties. But 204 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: I think it's all gonna start if we have the 205 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: ability to run the football effectively. Now you mentioned the 206 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: play action pass. Can we get some shots down the 207 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: field If you can't, If you can't run that ball 208 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: effectively against fan, y'all, he's gonna sit back and play 209 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: that cover for and they're gonna basically be doubling those 210 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: outside guys just waiting, especially if you if you don't 211 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: have it's gonna be. 212 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 4: Very important that either being sent it. 213 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: John Bates, we gotta have some prisons in the middle 214 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 3: of the middle of the If you ain't got no 215 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: president in the middle of. 216 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 4: The field, we can't work the outside like if we 217 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 4: get some prisions in the middle of the field. 218 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: And one thing I think when they talk about their 219 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: their run defense, Jalen Carter has been in and out 220 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: of the you know. 221 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: He even playing this week. He had surgery last week. 222 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: He had the surgery hit his surges on the shoulder 223 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: last week. 224 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 4: So he's been so in and out of it. 225 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 3: So it's just been Jordan Davis in the middle of 226 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 3: the defense. So that's what we need to attack. That's 227 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: what we did good great against your New York Giants. 228 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: We ran the A and A B gaffing. We said, 229 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 3: take this, well. 230 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: You mentioned attacking the middle of the field, I think 231 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: you gotta You you mentioned center and baseball, I thought 232 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: you also got to include Depot in them. He wins 233 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: a lot on those in breaking rocks as well. He's 234 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: another guy that can attack the middle of this Eagles defense. 235 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: That was something that I saw against the Giants that 236 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: I saw. You know, we tried to kind of I'm 237 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: not saying feature him, but when you start early in 238 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: that game, how they played the coverage towards seventeen. Yeah, 239 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: we was trying to get that ball to one a lot. 240 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: Yeah one of them, I think one or two of 241 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 2: them you missed. So that's gonna be huge for us 242 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 2: if he can be a presence, you know, and take 243 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: over for zach Ertz. You know, he can be that slab, 244 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: be that tween, or be that guy that can play 245 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 2: like that slot position where he's taking some of those 246 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: routes and then still allow him being and base to 247 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 2: be you know, true tight ends in this offense. Or 248 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: speaking of you know, running the game, you know our 249 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: run game and trying to get get our run game established. 250 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: What do you think about those guys on the other side, 251 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: their offense been up and down or hey, when you 252 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: got a guy like Sa Kwan, any game, he can 253 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: break out, and you saw what he did to us 254 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: in that NFC Championship game. You saw what he's been 255 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: doing this year has been you know, hit a miss 256 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: sometime with him running the ball. How do we bottle 257 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: him up and not get that run game started and. 258 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 3: Start with Their offensive line has been their catalysts. 259 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 4: Like do you take Lance. 260 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 3: Out of that offensive line and it's a different offensive line. 261 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 3: You look at when Lance is out compared to when 262 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: he's not. I think they're like eight and sixteen. When 263 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 3: he mixes a game like he is, he changing, he 264 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 3: changes everything about them. 265 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: Now. 266 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: The thing about it is with that offensive coordinator, they've 267 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: been predictable on first down. They've been a run on 268 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: first down team, and they've been having to deal with 269 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: that later in the down they forced to pass the ball. 270 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: The question is can we make them play behind first down? 271 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: Like if they get for yours on first down, they're 272 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: gonna be hard to stop. If we can make them 273 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: play a long down and distance on first and second 274 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: and third down, we got a chance to do it. 275 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: Because I'm sorry, it's something wrong with the connection between A. J. 276 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 4: Brown and Jalen Herd. 277 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 3: These used to be best friends in college, and now 278 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 3: they don't like they even look and talk to each other. Like, 279 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 3: if I'm a corner out there, I'm finna be so vindictive. 280 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 3: I'm gonna use my mouth to fracture them. And I 281 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 3: hope it's one corner out there. I don't know if 282 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: it's Mikey, I don't know who it is. Make sure 283 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: you interject yourself into this relation. 284 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: Well, I say that the play calling from a defensive 285 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: play calling standpoint. See if you can frustrate a Brown 286 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: frustrated with with the play the offensive play call here, 287 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: he's not getting the ball. We're doubling him, doing different things, 288 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: playing high on him. Yeah, making making hurts. Have to 289 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: go somewhere else with the football. And you're a receiver. 290 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: Eventually that man gets missed off by not getting out. 291 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: That's one thing. 292 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: But how's this guy able to be so effective? Because 293 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: I you know, they receive a cord in their tight 294 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 2: end and some of the best in the league. You 295 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: got Smith, you got Brown, you got God. You know 296 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: AJ can't run to me. When I'm watching him, I'm like, 297 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: I'm almost like here, but. 298 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: He just gets open. 299 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,239 Speaker 2: So strong man, what do you have to do defensively 300 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: to stop a guy who don't run. He's not a 301 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: fast runner, he's not a guy that's stretching the field, 302 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: but he still finds. 303 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: He might be faster than we really really guys and 304 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: Cuombo think about still was fasting the A J. Brown 305 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: I watched. I watched bro. 306 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: The way he takes his steps and the way he 307 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: Quan was a. 308 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: Quicker type of big guy. 309 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: Aj ain't no quickness coming out of him, but he 310 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: beating you up with his head and he putting that foot. 311 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: In the ground on something like a one ball awareness. 312 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: He can find that ball no matter where it is. 313 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: He got strong hands. And when you go up to Jaim, 314 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 3: you playing into his real wheel. Now I'm finna wrestle you. 315 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 3: I'm finna throw you off of and do this like 316 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: the subtleties like this, shoulder into you, this or that. 317 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 4: He Keenan McCardell. You remember Keeny McCarty. He was your coach, 318 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 4: right and I played against Keeny McCardell. I played with 319 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 4: Keny McCardell. 320 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: Not fast, never fast, But boy did he have these 321 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 3: subtleties and the nuance of the position. He understood how 322 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: to get separation when he couldn't get separation. 323 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: And this is what A J. 324 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: Brown has. He understands the small part. What are you 325 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 3: smiling about? 326 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: I think about Kenny used to rot your ass l 327 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: the year well during when Keeny was with us. He wasn't. 328 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: He used to do a lot of the Scout team offense, 329 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: so he's servicing the defense. Keeny used to give them boys. 330 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 5: He was slow. 331 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: Ken didn't come about that boy with ten for too hot. 332 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: He was Keny was. He was my locker bank. And 333 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: after practice, I'll be talking to you, man. He was slow, 334 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: like the boys can't. 335 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 4: It was the art of receivings. 336 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: He understood that. The craziest part, I'm thinking, why the 337 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: hell he ain't playing in the offense. Why don't they 338 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: put this dude in because he was working, y'all, boy man, 339 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: because he knew how to win every So that's basically 340 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: how you're saying, like something, that's what a J. Brown brains. 341 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: So that you know what. 342 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: I'm watching them because I like to compare, and I'm all, 343 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: I've always been this guy because I'm a guy that 344 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: was considered the guy to stretch the field. So when 345 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: I watch offenses, I always try to look for my 346 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: college kind of style offense that we had. We had 347 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: Shoki in the middle, we had Regi on the outside, 348 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: you had me and I look at these boys as 349 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: that kind of offense you got, we got, you got 350 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: a J. 351 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: Brown. That's Reggie run precision round. You got hands, you. 352 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: Got Devonte Smill who's to fit out me. Then you 353 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: got Shocky that's god Her, you know what I mean. 354 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: Like he can move the change in the inside. He's 355 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: one of those guys. So when I look at them, 356 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: I feel like they all complimented, you know what I mean. 357 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 3: That's the key, that's the key. I got a big 358 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 3: bruiser on the outside. I got a speech on the outside. 359 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 3: I got a tight end that can do anything I 360 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 3: asked him to do. That changes your offense right there. 361 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: I'm telling you the weakness of the window. 362 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 2: They have these spots where this thing like they just can't. 363 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 4: Jay hurs because Jayalen Hurst would throw the ball late. 364 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 4: That's his thing. 365 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 3: Hold on to it like he wants you to be 366 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 3: wide open before he throws the ball, and that causes 367 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 3: him to throw the ball late. And everybody hates on 368 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: that DVA AJ Brown. But AJ Brown is not lying. 369 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 3: It's Jalen Hurst installed in this offense. 370 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. We got to talk about the 371 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: run game, particularly Ku Bark the Eagle. I know you 372 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: mentioned Lane not being there, so they they their rushing 373 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: offense it's not as effective as it was a year 374 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: ago either. Again, my great researcher me not real. Last 375 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: year the Eagles were as a rushing offense, they were 376 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: the number two rushing office in the National Football League, 377 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: average almost a yards. Think it was a little Baltimore 378 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: bo Yeah with Lamar and Henry. Yeah, they average almost 379 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty yards rushing per game. This year, man, 380 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: they are nineteenth. They averaging one hundred and fifteen yards 381 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: rushing per game. Wow do yeah? We against us man 382 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: in his career, twelve player, twelve games including the playoffs. 383 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: Just what this what Barkley has done against us Savage 384 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns, eleven rushing, four receiving, averaging about a hot 385 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: of yards rushing per game, five point six yards per 386 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 1: care So we gotta be a we gotta bottle him up. 387 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: We gotta bottle him up. 388 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 4: That's that's making wonder. 389 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: Man. They're in that defensive meeting room and they presented 390 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: you talking about the rush, the passing game and all that, 391 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: and her struggling and him and aj not being on 392 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: same pace. But you have to stop, say Kwan, Barker. 393 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: You got to And he feels good running in Northwest 394 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 3: State like he with the Giants with Philadelphia. We just 395 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: haven't bottled him up. He has been our nemesis since 396 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 3: he got in the league. And the thing about it 397 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: is his explosiveness. And he understood, like this officer line, 398 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie when he breaks these long runs. 399 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 3: They are clean long runs, meaning nobody's touching him. And 400 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 3: we have to put a man in the box and 401 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 3: make them one dimension and make them throw the ball. 402 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: You know, you know they call me intellectual flesh. 403 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 4: I did not know that there's nothing intellectual man in. 404 00:18:59,800 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: It. 405 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 5: You literally Google, throw standard, your A I and your phone. 406 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 5: You did nothing to help us get to this board. 407 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 5: It ain't like you remembered it like this dude right here, 408 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 5: listen to me.
