Speaker 1: The performance we have been waiting for all season from
Speaker 1: the Eagles came on Black Sunday. Here as you see
Speaker 1: Nick Foles Tach toss a beautiful touchdown pass to Zach
Speaker 1: Ertz in the end zone. The Eagles shut out the
Speaker 1: New York Giants twenty seven. Nothing but Wolf, that's Greg
Speaker 1: co Sell. This is the postgame show presented by Rico. Greg.
Speaker 1: The last time the Eagles had a shutout was of
Speaker 1: the New York Giants back in nineteen ninety six. You
Speaker 1: had a full head of hair back then, I think,
Speaker 1: not quite but more than I have now. Well, certainly,
Speaker 1: what a performance from the Eagles. Shout out to Tommy Lawler,
Speaker 1: who I know has been waiting so long for a
Speaker 1: shutout for this Eagles team. But what a performance. It was,
Speaker 1: well rounded, such a balanced performance. The Eagles defense dominated
Speaker 1: the Giants front eight sacks on the night. Connor bar
Speaker 1: when leading the way with three. Lashan McCoy finally got
Speaker 1: untracked twenty two carries for one hundred and forty nine yards.
Speaker 1: He looked like the lea Shan McCoy that we saw
Speaker 1: last season. Really top to bottom, Greg, this game was
Speaker 1: dominated by the Eagles in every facet right from the start.
Speaker 1: It was really an impressive performance both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: It started the line of scrimmage, both offensively and defensively.
Speaker 1: And what really stood out to me initially, we know
Speaker 1: that Sean McCoy had been struggling and they'd been struggling
Speaker 1: to get the run game going. They were not in
Speaker 1: the shotgun as much as they normally are, which is
Speaker 1: what about ninety eight percent of the time. They started
Speaker 1: out with Foles under center. That's how they got the
Speaker 1: run game going. So Chip Kelly, a few tweaks here
Speaker 1: and there, one of the main ones was putting Nick
Speaker 1: Foles under center. Even the touchdown pass to James Casey
Speaker 1: came with Foles under center. So a few little adjustments
Speaker 1: and it was a dominant performance in all areas. So
Speaker 1: we've got plenty coming your way here on the Postgame
Speaker 1: Show presented by Rico, we will bring you Chip Kelly
Speaker 1: and Nick Foles their press conferences live from Lincoln Financial Field.
Speaker 1: Will talk a little bit later to Ike Reese to
Speaker 1: get his take on the game. Greg's going to break
Speaker 1: down some of the big plays in this game. But Greg,
Speaker 1: let's start at the quarterback position from Nick Foles, who
Speaker 1: was maybe not the best performer for the Eagles on
Speaker 1: the ninth through two pretty bad interceptions that he should
Speaker 1: not have thrown, but still led the offense down. What
Speaker 1: did you see from Nick Foles? Well, it's funny you
Speaker 1: say that, because again Foles probably held the ball too
Speaker 1: long in the pocket. But it didn't really show up
Speaker 1: tonight as much as usual because I thought the offensive
Speaker 1: line clearly had its best performance. You know, this Giant's
Speaker 1: defensive front had played really well the last number of weeks,
Speaker 1: and one thing that really stood out watching the game
Speaker 1: was how much time Nick Foles had in the pocket.
Speaker 1: He had time to go from one side of the
Speaker 1: field to the other. Now, again, you don't know what
Speaker 1: he saw when he looked at one side and didn't
Speaker 1: throw it, but he had the time in the pocket
Speaker 1: he was able to do that. And then there were
Speaker 1: other throws in which he was decisive and got rid
Speaker 1: of the ball, which is really what you want to see.
Speaker 1: But I thought there was a quicker tempo tonight as well,
Speaker 1: and that's the way Chip Kelly wants to play, and
Speaker 1: it helped the offense overall. You mentioned the offensive line
Speaker 1: saying it was the best performance we've seen from them
Speaker 1: this season. I don't think it's any coincidence that this
Speaker 1: was the first game at the Eagles have had the
Speaker 1: same group of five guys playing together for the second
Speaker 1: consecutive Yeah, and I think that just watching the game,
Speaker 1: David Mulk seemed to me like he had a very
Speaker 1: good game that he used his movement. See a lot
Speaker 1: of people may not remember when he was in college
Speaker 1: at the University of Michigan. He was always the smallest center,
Speaker 1: but he had really good movement, and the first couple
Speaker 1: of weeks that he played he was overpowered a bit.
Speaker 1: Now he got a bit more comfortable. They got the
Speaker 1: outside run game going. That's the other thing that really
Speaker 1: stood out tonight is they got the outside run game going.
Speaker 1: They were able to get on the perimeter. Mulk pulling
Speaker 1: Harriman's polling. We know Peters is probably the best polling
Speaker 1: tackle in the NFL, but this was an offensive run
Speaker 1: game in which they were finally able to get outside
Speaker 1: and get McCoy on the edge and even Sprowles scoring
Speaker 1: the touchdown he got on the edge as well. And
Speaker 1: from a macro perspective, to see this Eagles team not
Speaker 1: really salt away a lead in the fourth quarter. Keep
Speaker 1: the pedal to the metal. They really they scored that
Speaker 1: twenty seven the point in the third quarter and then
Speaker 1: we're able to just sort of sit on the lead
Speaker 1: from there. The defense tonight was just so good in
Speaker 1: every facet of the game. As we talked about before,
Speaker 1: the defensive front just killed the Giants offensive line. Eli
Speaker 1: Manning had no time to throw all night long now,
Speaker 1: and that's to me really. Obviously, McCoy getting a track
Speaker 1: is big, but I think the defense, Bill Davis's defense.
Speaker 1: This Giant's team had put up more than four hundred
Speaker 1: yards of offense in two of the last three game
Speaker 1: and we're playing very very well. The ball was coming
Speaker 1: out of Eli manning hands quickly, the offense was moving.
Speaker 1: The Eagles made them look very very average, even worse
Speaker 1: than average tonight, with a ton of pressure, winning both
Speaker 1: one on one matchups. We saw Connor Barwin consistently beat
Speaker 1: Pew at the tackle position. We saw some really interesting
Speaker 1: pressure concepts which Bill Davis has been building and building,
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins part of the pressure. We again saw Colin
Speaker 1: Graham lined up inside in the a gaps, a lot
Speaker 1: of different looks, a lot of things that offenses have
Speaker 1: to deal with and are very tough to deal with.
Speaker 1: Justin Peu grew up a diehard Eagles fan, so I'm
Speaker 1: not ruling at the possibility that maybe he was sort
Speaker 1: of on the Eagles sign tonight. But well, you used
Speaker 1: that was kind of barn before the game when you suggest,
Speaker 1: I think it's possible. Barwin led the way with three sacks,
Speaker 1: Vinny Curry getting two, Brandon Graham, Trent Cole, and Brandon
Speaker 1: Bear all getting sacks as well. What a great feeling
Speaker 1: it is, though, just to take a step back after
Speaker 1: all this sort of talk that went back and forth
Speaker 1: this week to dominate the Giants at home in front
Speaker 1: of a great crowd, the black jerseys, which I thought
Speaker 1: it looked very nice, and now you sit at five
Speaker 1: and one tie with the Cowboys. You get the week off,
Speaker 1: you get to sort of taste this victory as we
Speaker 1: move forward. And remember, you can be part of the
Speaker 1: show here through tagboard. Just tweet with hashtag fly Eagles
Speaker 1: Fly or hashtag black Sunday. But Greg, you know you
Speaker 1: watch that that Cowboys Seahawks game today. I did. I
Speaker 1: did two sort of powerful teams. Now taking a step
Speaker 1: at the top of the NFC East, the Eagles and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, And what's interesting is is the Cowboys
Speaker 1: would be considered old school in the way they're playing.
Speaker 1: They're lining up and running the football out of base
Speaker 1: personnel based formations, sort of old school football. Then you
Speaker 1: have the Chip Kelly offense, which is still it's based
Speaker 1: on the run, but not a traditional run game in
Speaker 1: that sense. But again, I come back to the defense.
Speaker 1: Bo I really thought that tonight's game really was more
Speaker 1: about the defense than anything else. I'm not sure anybody
Speaker 1: would have thought that the Eagles would shut out the Giant.
Speaker 1: Team might have picked the Eagles to win the game,
Speaker 1: but I don't think anybody would have thought that the
Speaker 1: defensive performance would have been as dominant as it was tonight.
Speaker 1: Giants two oh fourteen on third Day. And that's how
Speaker 1: good the Eagles defense was. I think you're right. I
Speaker 1: think the two biggest takeaways are the performance of the defense,
Speaker 1: how great this pass rush has been over the last
Speaker 1: three games, for really sixteen sacks over the last three games.
Speaker 1: And the other thing on the offensive side is getting
Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy back looking like he looked last season. One
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine yards rushing and he looked, you know,
Speaker 1: he looked like, yeah, you can say that, and what
Speaker 1: is it really? You know what he did? He looked
Speaker 1: like the old show. The lateral quickness. That's ultimately the
Speaker 1: lateral quickness. And there was obviously always be a couple
Speaker 1: of runs in which he probably he bounces too much,
Speaker 1: but that's the style of runner who he is. But
Speaker 1: you saw the lateral quickness, the lateral explosion. That's the
Speaker 1: kind of runner Lashawn McCoy is. The ability to make
Speaker 1: people miss and confined areas, that's what makes him a
Speaker 1: great runner. Darren Sprowles did leave the game with an injury,
Speaker 1: so we hope that he's okay and we hope to
Speaker 1: get a bit of information on that as well. Victor Cruz,
Speaker 1: unfortunately for the Giants tourious Butteller tendon in the end
Speaker 1: zone the one time the Giants got into the red zone,
Speaker 1: and that was pretty a sad. Yeah, certainly scene on
Speaker 1: the field that was tough to see. And a guy
Speaker 1: who plays very well against the Eagles, so you'll never
Speaker 1: like to see that, all right. So once again we've
Speaker 1: got Chip Kelly Live coming up very shortly. Then we'll
Speaker 1: have Nick Foles after that, bringing on Ike Bruce as well.
Speaker 1: We're also taking your phone calls. Two one five, three
Speaker 1: four one fifty one seventy. I think that's what it is,
Speaker 1: fifty one seventy. All right, we'll get that right exactly.
Speaker 1: There we go three two zero fifty one seventy. So
Speaker 1: there you go. Anybody else who sepped out to you?
Speaker 1: I guess special teams once again pretty good for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Cody Parking making some big field goals, Darren Sproles all
Speaker 1: almost broke that long return, it wasn't for Malcolm Jenkins Aez.
Speaker 1: The player who to me over the last two three
Speaker 1: weeks has been really impressive and in an unexpected way
Speaker 1: given what he did last year, is Knnor Barwin. Because
Speaker 1: Connor barn last year, I thought he played really well
Speaker 1: at a lot of the details of the game. He
Speaker 1: wasn't sacking quarterbacks, but he was playing pass coverage, he
Speaker 1: was setting the edge. This year, he's sacking the quarterback.
Speaker 1: He's almost playing like he did a few years ago
Speaker 1: in Houston, right before the Eagles signed him to the
Speaker 1: free agent contract. And I think Connor Barwin, see when
Speaker 1: you can beat tackles one on one as a pass
Speaker 1: rusher that's absolutely critical, and he's starting to do that.
Speaker 1: He's starting to win one on one matchups, and I
Speaker 1: think he's the player to me that's standing out on
Speaker 1: this defense perhaps more than anyone right now. The other
Speaker 1: guy to me up front is Fletcher Cox, who I
Speaker 1: think we've talked about in the past. He has all
Speaker 1: these tools. Does this defense really feature his skill set
Speaker 1: as much as a different kind of defense would, But
Speaker 1: these last few games he has been dominant. He's been
Speaker 1: really controlling the line of scrimmage. I think Fletcher Cox
Speaker 1: is sort of proved himself to be one of the
Speaker 1: real playmakers. And another name I think is absolutely worth
Speaker 1: mentioning is Vinny Curry. Because Vinny Curry plays what maybe
Speaker 1: twenty five snaps a game. You know, he plays in
Speaker 1: certain sub packages for sacks, utter and he is a
Speaker 1: consistently good pass rusher. Even when he doesn't get sacks,
Speaker 1: he's able to pressure the quarterback and be an effective
Speaker 1: player in his role. And Brandon Graham's been able to
Speaker 1: do that as well. So this is a defense that's
Speaker 1: been able to play really well in their base defense,
Speaker 1: which they started the game in against the Giants three
Speaker 1: wide receivers. They started in their base defense, but then
Speaker 1: when they do go to their nickel their dime, they're
Speaker 1: really getting excellent pass rush from Vinny Curry, from Brandon Graham.
Speaker 1: So the parts are sort of falling into place. Obviously,
Speaker 1: with a bye week, they'll continue to work on that.
Speaker 1: It'll be very interesting to see how this rest of
Speaker 1: the season continues, because I think this defense is really
Speaker 1: beginning to play the way Bill Davis envisions it. As
Speaker 1: for Nick Foles, you know, we talked about a bit
Speaker 1: of an uneven performance a little bit, but one of
Speaker 1: the things he did very well was spread the ball
Speaker 1: around seven players with reception, six with at least two.
Speaker 1: We saw him do that. One of the things that
Speaker 1: he does well is sort of find the open guy
Speaker 1: and not locking on one guy. No, when he made
Speaker 1: some good throws early when the game, the touchdown pass
Speaker 1: arts was a beautiful was about as good as it gets.
Speaker 1: I mean, we can talk about the catch, but really
Speaker 1: the ball could only be thrown in one place, and
Speaker 1: I'm always a believer that if the ball can only
Speaker 1: really be thrown to one place, then it's the throw
Speaker 1: that makes the play and not the catch. And I
Speaker 1: thought that was a terrific to cut you off. We've
Speaker 1: got Chip Kelly over at Lincoln Financial Field. Just you know,
Speaker 1: we can be in the center and being or in
Speaker 1: the shotgun. It's just different things. Sometimes it's adjusting the
Speaker 1: path of the back. But you know, we've done it
Speaker 1: both ways. So if your team seemed to play with
Speaker 1: a lot of result tonight, he like, did you get
Speaker 1: a sense from them maybe they were not getting enough respect,
Speaker 1: maybe for being FOURM one and putting that visions Now,
Speaker 1: I don't we don't talk about any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean outside noise. We just try to stay away
Speaker 1: from it. Either way, whether it's you know, we talk
Speaker 1: about praise or blame is all the same. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just about focusing. And and we we thought we
Speaker 1: had to come in here and play with great energy. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I thought the crowd was awesome. Being at home. We
Speaker 1: had great energy. You could tell it right from the jump.
Speaker 1: And then really the big difference in our other games
Speaker 1: that we played, the shares we executed. You know, I
Speaker 1: think UM in all phases, offensively, defensively, UM and in
Speaker 1: special teams we didn't you know, it wasn't a spurt
Speaker 1: here or a spurt there. I think it was a
Speaker 1: consistent football game from start to finish. You you you
Speaker 1: look at the drive in the um second half there,
Speaker 1: we throw the interception and they return at our defense
Speaker 1: goes out in the field and does not give up
Speaker 1: any points. You know, we stop them on the three
Speaker 1: yard line, and then the offense goes out in the
Speaker 1: field and has a ninety seven yard drive for a touchdown. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's something to build upon. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: so we're happy where we are. I guess the best
Speaker 1: way to say is we're please. We're not satisfied. You know,
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of things we can do better, um,
Speaker 1: but but we're pleased with the performance tonight, the dot
Speaker 1: almination of waking that today surprise. No, I mean I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't look at it that way. I just look
Speaker 1: at it is we had a bunch of guys that
Speaker 1: went out there, and I thought we had a good
Speaker 1: game play on both sides of the ball and on teams,
Speaker 1: and we executed were able to get the run game
Speaker 1: going tonight. You know, I think it had been there before.
Speaker 1: I thought the shan did a really good job running
Speaker 1: tonight really hit some things tonight and you saw the
Speaker 1: Lashan that I think everybody knows um he can be like.
Speaker 1: And I thought, obviously we got a little bit more continuity.
Speaker 1: It's laying second game back, you know, a little bit
Speaker 1: same same group to play the game before, played this game.
Speaker 1: So just a little bit more consistency. State on blocks
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, and ran the ball a little
Speaker 1: bit harder and blocked well on the perimeter. Season is gone.
Speaker 1: You say this is the best game. There were no comebacks,
Speaker 1: no any other Yeah. Yeah, I mean I'm not into
Speaker 1: writing games, but you know it was. It was a
Speaker 1: good game. Defense. Eight sacks, you know, what's been kind
Speaker 1: of the key to that resurgence long and think we've
Speaker 1: had sixteen and the last couple I don't know the
Speaker 1: exact totally. I think maybe in the last three y Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I just think they're working. You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's not a scheme deal, it's it's our guys continue
Speaker 1: to work at their trade and they get better. You know,
Speaker 1: counter barrow when we saw I saw it coming, and
Speaker 1: I know Billy talked about it a lot, and I
Speaker 1: think people were you know, maybe he didn't believe us
Speaker 1: but we saw those guys getting better every day. He
Speaker 1: saw the way they trained, saw their approach to what
Speaker 1: we do from a training standpoint, and and saw him
Speaker 1: getting better and better and better and continuing to develop. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's just a matter of you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's not, Hey, this doesn't this isn't working. I
Speaker 1: think we saw that that that it can work. We
Speaker 1: just have to be more consistent in it. So it
Speaker 1: wasn't Hey let's change everything a drastically. We do the
Speaker 1: same exact things. Billy called the same defense as called
Speaker 1: a lot of the same run plays, a lot of
Speaker 1: the same pass plays that we've run all along, but
Speaker 1: we just executed better tonight. Both. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: think there were a lot of really open receivers, you know,
Speaker 1: that were just running clean down the field where he
Speaker 1: could set you know. The big thing about them going
Speaker 1: into the game, um, you know, with with whether it
Speaker 1: be disguises or reroute or things like that, we wanted
Speaker 1: to disrupt the timing of the game. Um, because they
Speaker 1: were doing a great job, especially in the three games
Speaker 1: in one with a ball coming out quick, I mean
Speaker 1: it was coming out hot, and he was uh you know,
Speaker 1: Eli was playing at a really high level. So I
Speaker 1: think it was a combination of um not having maybe
Speaker 1: the first read there. Uh so that now that now
Speaker 1: we can generate some pressure and um, obviously it's a
Speaker 1: it's always a combination too, but I think the coverage
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with it. You guys are
Speaker 1: five and one, but the big leads the league returnovers.
Speaker 1: How we really concern is that it doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: you guys keep if we keep winning, doesn't matter. Now
Speaker 1: I woulday answer your first question if we keep winning,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but I mean if it if it
Speaker 1: hurts us, then yeah, I mean we gotta We still
Speaker 1: have to do a better job from that standpoint. We
Speaker 1: were a lot cleaner last year from a from a
Speaker 1: turnover standpoint, and um, he'll be the first to tell
Speaker 1: you that. You know, I think the one at the
Speaker 1: end of the first half, I think he was trying
Speaker 1: to throw it away. I just don't think it get
Speaker 1: out of bounds, you know. And then uh he was
Speaker 1: scrambling on the second one. And we just gott do
Speaker 1: a better job of protecting the football. I thought we
Speaker 1: did a real good job from a running back standpoint,
Speaker 1: and receiver standpoint of ball security. We just got to
Speaker 1: do a better job from that standpoint because you can't
Speaker 1: continue to do it at that rate and uh and
Speaker 1: end up on the right side of the ledger. You know,
Speaker 1: the turnover um differential is really big in this league
Speaker 1: in terms of being being an indicator of wins and losses.
Speaker 1: So let's I was be able to get to the
Speaker 1: edge few times. It's night that he hadn't been doing
Speaker 1: some previous games. He's had a matter of having the
Speaker 1: confidence that you're gonna be able to get there and
Speaker 1: if you do it once, then that in snowball and
Speaker 1: then you get I think it's both. I thought he
Speaker 1: ran really well today, but I also thought I think
Speaker 1: Jason Peters did a great job. You know, he had
Speaker 1: a real big matchup against Jason Pierre Paul. And I
Speaker 1: also think Brent Sellick had an outstanding game kind of
Speaker 1: blocking the ability to get us to the perimeter. So
Speaker 1: you know, a combination of our tackles and really Brent
Speaker 1: that or I thought Brent was outstanding blocking today. So
Speaker 1: shot pass the casey was just a play action yea,
Speaker 1: it was just play action run fake. We had run
Speaker 1: the ball a couple of times out of that formation
Speaker 1: had three tight ends in the game. And then you know,
Speaker 1: we always have complimentary plays, so you know, if we're
Speaker 1: running the ball, and I think the first couple of
Speaker 1: runs were successful, but they were starting to get a
Speaker 1: little bit closer and creeping up a little bit more
Speaker 1: towards the line of scrimmage. And then anytime you get
Speaker 1: an opportunity to attack somebody that has dual responsibility, you
Speaker 1: know they have to step up on the run, but
Speaker 1: they also have to cover in the past. You know,
Speaker 1: it just came at the right time. We had a
Speaker 1: right situation. We had the ball in obviously in a
Speaker 1: good situation in the red zone there where we thought
Speaker 1: we had a shot at it. Something he had worked
Speaker 1: one for a while, and um, you know, our guys
Speaker 1: went out executed. No, I just know it's a Nate,
Speaker 1: But I haven't heard anything from from our medical stuff
Speaker 1: to this scheme and especially the way he plays, and
Speaker 1: he seems like pretty selfless professional. Yes, he's the ultimate.
Speaker 1: You know, you go back to the Detroit game a
Speaker 1: year ago when we uh, you know, we're finishing the
Speaker 1: game off and he catches the ball in the open
Speaker 1: field and instead of running it into the end zone
Speaker 1: where then we got to kick off, then our defense
Speaker 1: has to go back on the field. He hooks liked
Speaker 1: and gives up an opportunity to get a touchdown. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, so we can just take a victory and
Speaker 1: get off the field. You know. I think, Uh, he's awesome.
Speaker 1: I love the way he approaches everything. He's got the
Speaker 1: right demeanor. He's everything you want. Uh, he's totally selfless.
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's exactly what you want. When you
Speaker 1: talk about what I Philadelphia eagle looks like, Brent Sellick
Speaker 1: is what a Philadelphi Eagle looks like. This week he
Speaker 1: was obviously up. No, it's the same every I mean,
Speaker 1: we do the same stuff all the time, and it's
Speaker 1: just a matter of getting better and better. And it's
Speaker 1: not it's something I think everybody works on. You get
Speaker 1: to continue to develop, and the guys that don't get
Speaker 1: better are the guys that take you know, the individual
Speaker 1: periods for granted and say hey let's just get the team,
Speaker 1: let's see what the scheme is this week and go.
Speaker 1: But I think not only Nick, everybody. I think you've
Speaker 1: seen guys continue to develop. Our guys in their pass
Speaker 1: rush moves, have continued to work on them, continue to
Speaker 1: develop them, and you're starting to see that payoff. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not a scheme thing. We're not changing schemes. We're
Speaker 1: not you know, we're not a scheme operation where hey,
Speaker 1: let's run this week, let's run that this week, Let's
Speaker 1: let's develop, let's continue to get better and can we
Speaker 1: be better than our what we were the game before
Speaker 1: and build upon what was what was positive. And then
Speaker 1: if there are negatives, and there are negatives, you know,
Speaker 1: we didn't play a totally clean game. If there are negatives,
Speaker 1: and you know, we'll go back, we'll watch a film,
Speaker 1: we'll correct it, and then we'll get out in the
Speaker 1: field and hopefully continue to grow. So miel Ryan is
Speaker 1: questionable coming in. You know, how about his recovery. We'll
Speaker 1: see one hundred percent tonight or you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if he was a hundred um. You know, he
Speaker 1: probably asked to me go I don't think he was,
Speaker 1: you know, he because of the amount of time he missed.
Speaker 1: But I think it just kind of tells you the
Speaker 1: type of player he is. And I said at the beginning,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really count to me go out anything unless
Speaker 1: unless they just say, hey, he can't go, you know,
Speaker 1: but he, Um, he stays with a game plan. He
Speaker 1: was out there every day if he wasn't in, taking
Speaker 1: the physical reps like he did a couple of times
Speaker 1: later in the week, he was standing right behind the
Speaker 1: defense making all the calls, making sure that when his
Speaker 1: opportunity came, he got uh so many mental reps. You know,
Speaker 1: you watched how he approached it. Even though, um, we
Speaker 1: talk about deliberate training. He was even when he wasn't in,
Speaker 1: he was deliberately training. He making the right calls, getting
Speaker 1: everybody set. Even though Casey or Acho or um Marcus
Speaker 1: was in there, he was still out behind the whole
Speaker 1: defense doing everything. And that just kind of tells you
Speaker 1: the type of professional that Tomko is. Defense made those
Speaker 1: sweeps so effective. I know, Scroll scored on one him
Speaker 1: a point. Now, it's just kind of some of the
Speaker 1: looks sometimes they were they were down inside and sometimes
Speaker 1: if you run the ball the other way, it's really
Speaker 1: tough to cut him off, you know. So we just
Speaker 1: were kind of trying to play an inside outside game
Speaker 1: with him. So the next week, what's the plan we're
Speaker 1: in tomorrow. You know, we'll get a meeting tomorrow. I
Speaker 1: think we have to take a team picture, and so
Speaker 1: we'll be with him tomorrow. So they'll come in and
Speaker 1: we'll take care of everything. Then they're off for the

Speaker 1: show here as you see underneath. Just tweet with hashtag
Speaker 1: fly Eagles Fly or hashtag black Sunday and later on
Speaker 1: we're taking your phone calls two one five, three, two
Speaker 1: zero fifty one seventy. But Greg, you wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about one of the things that Chip Kelly mentioned in
Speaker 1: his press conference, and as you are want to tell
Speaker 1: us you are the guy who watches all the tape
Speaker 1: of every team every week, and when you look at
Speaker 1: this Eagles offense as opposed to other offenses around the league,
Speaker 1: is it true that the Eagles are not really running
Speaker 1: different schemes different weeks. They're running the same concepts. They're
Speaker 1: just running them over and over again at a fast clip.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the critical thing that's what struck
Speaker 1: me about its press conference when Chips said we're not
Speaker 1: a scheme operation. And I think when you play fast,
Speaker 1: you get the defense in predictable fronts and predictable coverages.
Speaker 1: And when you play fast, you can't run as many plays.
Speaker 1: So what happens is you have to have fewer plays
Speaker 1: and you don't have as many schemes, so you just
Speaker 1: run the same plays over and over. You try to
Speaker 1: give a different look here and there. Everybody does that.
Speaker 1: It becomes window dressing. But they're not scheme based. They
Speaker 1: run the same plays out of very often the same
Speaker 1: formations each and every week, and they get the defenses
Speaker 1: in predictable looks. All right, Well, the man who runs
Speaker 1: that scheme under center is Nick Foles. We send it
Speaker 1: over to Lincoln Financial Field to hear from the quarterback.
Speaker 1: We won the ball when we won the coin toss,
Speaker 1: and we went down, got some points on the board,
Speaker 1: and then we're able to execute, and we definitely have
Speaker 1: things to clean up. But it was a great team
Speaker 1: and win. Defensive an outstanding job, not allowing a team
Speaker 1: that's been putting up thirty points um normally to nothing.
Speaker 1: Really probably them special teams made some big plays like
Speaker 1: they have been So it was a great team win.
Speaker 1: How significant it was it when you took them, when
Speaker 1: you won the coin flip and said you took the ball.
Speaker 1: There's the first time that's really won the coin flip
Speaker 1: and took the ball. Was it? Does that a message said, Hey,
Speaker 1: the offense once to strike first year. Yeah, we want
Speaker 1: to we want to start earlier. That's something that we've
Speaker 1: been working on and we've worked each and every day. Um,
Speaker 1: we want to start faster. And we did that today
Speaker 1: and it helps our defense out when we can put
Speaker 1: some points on the board early. They really just keep
Speaker 1: going after the quarterback. And um, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: team thing. It's a momentum thing. Five to one at
Speaker 1: the break. I mean, can you can you at least
Speaker 1: get enjoy that? I mean, I know you guys are
Speaker 1: honoring yourselves, but can you talk about that? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a great position to be in. We still have
Speaker 1: a lot of season left to go. We still I
Speaker 1: still have a lot of things to improve on, which
Speaker 1: excites me, like y'all know how I am. But it'll
Speaker 1: be great to have this bye week to get healthy, Uh,
Speaker 1: get some rest and recoup, get ready to go. I
Speaker 1: think the guys, the guys up front really did a
Speaker 1: great job of giving him some solid seams, and he
Speaker 1: hit it hard. He was hitting the lanes hard. He
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to bounce it. If he felt like he
Speaker 1: didn't have anything. He cut up inside for three or
Speaker 1: four yards and that really helps us out. That helps
Speaker 1: out with a play call because you're inside the chains.
Speaker 1: And I thought, Uh, we did a great job to
Speaker 1: night run the ball. You concerned about seven games, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I will correct those. I will fix it. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's just part of football. You want to keep being aggressive.
Speaker 1: I've made a couple of dumb mistakes with the football
Speaker 1: that I'll work on and I can fix those things.
Speaker 1: They're not over my head and that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that I love by this game. You can fix things. Awesome.
Speaker 1: Thanks boy Folds. We're gonna take a quick break now.

Speaker 1: like Reese back on the postgame show presented by Rico
Speaker 1: and Ike, I know that you like when this offense
Speaker 1: is rolling a little bit, but at your heart, you're
Speaker 1: a defensive guy. The first shoutout since nineteen ninety six,
Speaker 1: you had to enjoy that. I love this game. I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, it was so surprising. You know, I
Speaker 1: thought this would be a high scoring game, high twenties,
Speaker 1: low thirties both teams. But if I'm giving out a
Speaker 1: game ball tonight, I had to give it to defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator Billy Davis. Great game plan. You know, I didn't
Speaker 1: realize he had been on the coaching staff, but Bob
Speaker 1: McAdoo and I think McCarthy out in San Francisco, so
Speaker 1: he knows the offensive coordinators sort of game plan. And yeah,
Speaker 1: he had great insight because it seemed like this offensive
Speaker 1: line of the New York Giants had no clue where
Speaker 1: the pressure was coming from. ELI was under durest all
Speaker 1: night long Connor Barwin would arguably his best game in
Speaker 1: the Eagles uniform. Three sacks tonight, Trent Cole had a
Speaker 1: sack of Vinny Courier, a couple of sacks. Just just
Speaker 1: a great, great job by this defensive unit tonight. Sixteen
Speaker 1: sacks by this defense over the last three games. I
Speaker 1: know that through the first couple of games we were
Speaker 1: sort of waiting for that pass rush to come. Boy
Speaker 1: hasn't come these last three games. It really hasn't. You know,
Speaker 1: Billy's doing a great job of mixing it up with
Speaker 1: bringing extra man in pressure situations. But you know when
Speaker 1: they just rushed four at times, they do a great
Speaker 1: job just getting there with four guys. When they put
Speaker 1: those four, the four three front guys in Brandon Graham,
Speaker 1: Benny Curry, Trent Cole, and either Fletcher Cox in the
Speaker 1: middle or bar went out there with them, that's probably
Speaker 1: their best pass rushing unit, and it showed tonight. So
Speaker 1: we expect to hear from both Lashawn McCoy and Jeremy
Speaker 1: Macklin at the podium over Lincoln Financial Field, like I
Speaker 1: gotta saymon, pressed you dressed for the occasion. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: will listen. They said it was black Sunday, so I
Speaker 1: figured I put on my all black tonight and it
Speaker 1: was a great atmosphere. It was an electric atmosphere. The
Speaker 1: uniforms looked great, thought looked great. Yeah, And the good
Speaker 1: thing is they want so don't have to put them
Speaker 1: on the shelf. That's exactly right. And then at halftime
Speaker 1: we both did the same thing. Boys two men on
Speaker 1: the field. I didn't see anybody leave their seats. They
Speaker 1: everybody wanted to dance along and sing with boys mean
Speaker 1: both of us. We didn't want to hear it from
Speaker 1: the press box where it's it's glass up. We both
Speaker 1: went to the the Eagles radio booths so we could
Speaker 1: actually experience. I tried to get you to get in
Speaker 1: there to dance with me a little bit, but even
Speaker 1: Cara breaking it down, well, you know what it's uh.
Speaker 1: Boys and Men is one of my favorite male groups
Speaker 1: of all time right here in Philadelphia, and they sung
Speaker 1: two of my favorite songs into the Road in Motown, Philly.
Speaker 1: So it was a festive night at the Link and
Speaker 1: I'm glad that the players they showed up tonight. You know,
Speaker 1: they've been in a tragic to have all the celebratorial
Speaker 1: surroundings to the game and did not win this game.
Speaker 1: They did more than win this game to night. They
Speaker 1: came out in dominant fashion tonight, particularly on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. As a player, what is it
Speaker 1: like when you go into the buy with a win
Speaker 1: as opposed to having a taste of loss for an
Speaker 1: extra Well, unfortunately, I probably had more losses going into
Speaker 1: buys than I did wins. Under Andy Reid, we for
Speaker 1: some reason, we just didn't win. Yeah, So I know
Speaker 1: what that's like, and it's it's not easy to stay focused.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Chip has given them their schedule
Speaker 1: for this week or what have you, but Andy used
Speaker 1: to tell us that we had the week off prior
Speaker 1: to that game, and I think as players we probably
Speaker 1: started thinking about that vacation time more than we needed to.
Speaker 1: And Uh, the Eagles under Chip, they've they've done a
Speaker 1: good job with the bye week, and tonight they look focused. Uh,
Speaker 1: they certainly weren't thinking about whatever days they're gonna have
Speaker 1: off the rest of this week. They came in the
Speaker 1: night trying to claim the NFC East and uh, I
Speaker 1: think they sent the message to the Johns. Johnts did
Speaker 1: a lot of talking earlier in the week, and you know,
Speaker 1: I was happy that they were doing the talking because
Speaker 1: to me, I said, they're gonna force the Eagles to
Speaker 1: focus that much more on this game Sunday, just because
Speaker 1: you don't talk trash when you're going on the road
Speaker 1: somebody else's house. And so I thought the Eagles came
Speaker 1: out tonight looking to shut the Giants up. And you
Speaker 1: saw that picture that was tweeted of Dominique Rogers, Cromarti
Speaker 1: and Prince of Mukamara holding up to zeros for Eagles
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Well, now it's pointing at yeah, terrible your
Speaker 1: thoughts on the state of the division now after the
Speaker 1: Cowboys to be fairhead and even bigger win if you
Speaker 1: look at the quality of opponent going into Seattle taking
Speaker 1: down the Super Bowl champions, two very good teams atop
Speaker 1: the division. Now, Yeah, the nfcast, much to the surprise
Speaker 1: of a lot of rognosticators, they thought this was be
Speaker 1: a down year for this division. That's a pretty good year.
Speaker 1: The Giants didn't look good tonight, but they looked good
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. And I don't think we've heard
Speaker 1: the last of the Giants. It's a long season. They're
Speaker 1: sitting at three and three, and Dallas went out to
Speaker 1: Seattle today and one versely a game that no one
Speaker 1: gave them a chance to win as they were eliminated
Speaker 1: me from Survivor. Yeah, they were eight point underdogs today,
Speaker 1: and listen, the Cowboys are playing good defense. They really
Speaker 1: dominated their game. The score is not indicative of the
Speaker 1: way the game was played. That Cowboys really dominated Seattle
Speaker 1: in their own stadium. But we don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys to his Turkey Day. That's right. A
Speaker 1: lot of things didn't happen from now until Thanksgiving, and
Speaker 1: that's something to be thankful for. Yeah, as for la
Speaker 1: Sharon McCoy, who expect to hear from soon, Yes, your
Speaker 1: thoughts on getting the old shady back? He looked. He
Speaker 1: looked great tonight. I'm telling you. If it wasn't for
Speaker 1: the way this defense played the night, he would be
Speaker 1: the story of tonight because he's had better nights statistically
Speaker 1: than he had tonight. But this was his first big
Speaker 1: game of the season. This kid typically shows up when
Speaker 1: the lights are the brightest. He loves playing against this team.
Speaker 1: He loves playing in time time games, and I was
Speaker 1: happy to see that he looked decisive early in the game.
Speaker 1: The runs that he had going to the outside, I
Speaker 1: thought he was patient, waiting on his blocks to set up,
Speaker 1: and then you can see that burst. I don't know
Speaker 1: all this talk about Shady must have lost the staff
Speaker 1: or as he hit that running back wall. He looked
Speaker 1: like the old Shady to me tonight, and all he
Speaker 1: needed was a little bit of daylight to get that
Speaker 1: good him back. And I knew once he got got
Speaker 1: it going early, and maybe it was the first or
Speaker 1: second run that you had that was like maybe twelve
Speaker 1: or thirteen yards up the right sideline, that's what he needed.
Speaker 1: He needed to to get to that second level, get
Speaker 1: some positive yards so that he could gain confidence. And
Speaker 1: you can see as he continued to carry the ball
Speaker 1: tonight he looked more and more like the guy that
Speaker 1: we loved watching the last six years. And that space
Speaker 1: on the outside has not been there through these through
Speaker 1: the first five games of the season, it finally was
Speaker 1: there tonight in the share. You obviously took advantage when
Speaker 1: he had to make a guy miss one on one
Speaker 1: that that athleticism was certainly there. It really was, and
Speaker 1: you got to give the Eagles offensive line a lot
Speaker 1: of credit as well. You know, this isn't the thirty
Speaker 1: or frank defense they faced like the Saint Louis Rams
Speaker 1: last week. This is the ninth rank rushing defense coming
Speaker 1: into this game, and I thought the offensive line did
Speaker 1: a great job of moving bodies. Jason Peters, I mean,
Speaker 1: my guy, I mean, this is this guy. Isn't the
Speaker 1: best left tackle on football. Please show me someone else
Speaker 1: that can do some of the things that Jason Peters does.
Speaker 1: And then Brent Selleck not only did he contribute in
Speaker 1: the passing game, he was also a big part of
Speaker 1: the running game, setting the edge so that Shady could
Speaker 1: get to that that perimeter. So, you know, great job
Speaker 1: by the offense and running the football tonight, and the
Speaker 1: defense obviously the stars of the night. How about your
Speaker 1: thoughts on Nick Foles who had it. You know, he
Speaker 1: had those two mistakes, which were they were bad decisions,
Speaker 1: bad throws, But other than that, he spread the ball well,
Speaker 1: moved the offense. Uh. He got the job though, he
Speaker 1: really did. And you know the throw he made to
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz for the first touchdown to put the Eagles
Speaker 1: up tending nothing was It's probably as good as a
Speaker 1: throw as he's had since he's been here. I thought
Speaker 1: he looked a lot more comfortable in the pocket, had
Speaker 1: a couple of throws that he would obviously want back.
Speaker 1: Has to get out of the habit of wanting to
Speaker 1: make something happen with guys hanging all over him. You know,
Speaker 1: you just can't throw the ball light at times. But
Speaker 1: he'll break out of that. I thought he looked good
Speaker 1: to night, even with the two interceptions. I thought he
Speaker 1: looked good tonight. There are times when you when you're
Speaker 1: probably best to take a sack. Yeah, and he did
Speaker 1: a great job, But that last year I think he
Speaker 1: may have his head. He doesn't want to take sex,
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's okay to take a sack. All right. Well,
Speaker 1: we're also taking your phone calls two one, five, three,
Speaker 1: two zero, fifty one seventy as we wait to hear
Speaker 1: from Lashawn McCoy, Jeremy Macklin, maybe a few other guys
Speaker 1: from the locker room. And remember you can also be
Speaker 1: a part of the show by tweeting hashtag Fly Eagles
Speaker 1: Fly or hashtag black Sunday. We will take a quick
Speaker 1: break now back on the other side, hopefully with Lashaw
Speaker 1: McCoy and or Jeremy Macklin Eagles fans, let's go a

Speaker 1: on the postgame Show presented by Ricole by Rico Rico
Speaker 1: Suave after the Eagles take down the New York Giants
Speaker 1: twenty seven nothing, the first shutout for the Eagles since
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. That also came against the Giants. That
Speaker 1: was a twenty to nothing victory. And so now we
Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. Of course, we're taking your
Speaker 1: phone calls. Two one, five, three, two zero, fifty one seventy.
Speaker 1: Henry from Tampa leads us off. Henry, how are you
Speaker 1: all right? How are you doing that? Steven? It was
Speaker 1: a good game. It was a good game. What were
Speaker 1: you doing back in nineteen ninety six? I remember that
Speaker 1: we've done a shoutout on them too. That's correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So what were your big thoughts coming off to win, Henry, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of happy, but we need to play better.
Speaker 1: We've got those Allasona Carnos coming up, you know, the
Speaker 1: folling week. Well, it's tough to imagine them playing much
Speaker 1: better than they did tonight. I hope they played a
Speaker 1: lot better, you know when we played cantalazonor all right,
Speaker 1: well that's I guess what's that? All right? Well, fair point, Henry,
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Arizona with a win against Washington today.
Speaker 1: But we send it over now to Jeremy Mackel. I
Speaker 1: think I think it's good man. I think that's what
Speaker 1: we Uh, that was the only thing on our mind
Speaker 1: going into this game. We got the job done, got
Speaker 1: it done, um, you know the way we wanted to
Speaker 1: get it done, dominating every aspect of the game. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, so we couldn't. We couldn't be in a
Speaker 1: better position. What's the most complete game you've had all
Speaker 1: the game? One of the most complete? Um, I would say, so,
Speaker 1: you know, um, we gotta limitate the turnovers. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, the score board shows that.
Speaker 1: I think the way we played, the energy Um, this enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: I think everything we did, you know, kind of all
Speaker 1: came together tonight. Uh. It's gonna open up opportunities for
Speaker 1: for the passing game, you know. Um you know, McCoy
Speaker 1: had a big day. Spros had a few good runs
Speaker 1: and they even got trading their runt the ball a
Speaker 1: little bit. Um, you know. So, I mean that's what
Speaker 1: we do. We like to run the football. So long
Speaker 1: we can keep that going. I think the office the
Speaker 1: line dominated up front. Um, I think we'll be pretty
Speaker 1: pretty pretty good from the beginning up to stop the
Speaker 1: running away. Some other teams, Um, you know, they they
Speaker 1: I don't. They did the eight men in the box
Speaker 1: a couple of times and roll the safety down and
Speaker 1: so you know, they tried to do stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But I just think we stopped with the game plan
Speaker 1: and then executed. I played. That's why we're able to
Speaker 1: run the football so effectively. You heard about what people
Speaker 1: were saying about the kind of win you're having this year,
Speaker 1: and spress a game like this one, can you finally say,
Speaker 1: hey man, it's hard to win in the National Football League. So,
Speaker 1: like I said earlier this week, we win to nothing,
Speaker 1: we win fifty to forty nine. A win is a win. Um.
Speaker 1: But you know it was really good for us to
Speaker 1: go out here and put a whole game together. And
Speaker 1: we'll continue going forward. The ban this week that telling
Speaker 1: about the trash other um, I mean only because you guys,
Speaker 1: let us know what was said. But um, twenty seven nothing.
Speaker 1: Thank you. You have got to love that from Jeremy Macklin.
Speaker 1: All he's got to do is say twenty seven nothing.
Speaker 1: That's that speaks for itself. Yeah. You know, he was
Speaker 1: one of the guys who looked irritated earlier this week
Speaker 1: when he heard about Andrea Rolls comments. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Jeremy typically has a little edge to him, man, and
Speaker 1: I wiped that about him. I wife that about him. Man.
Speaker 1: That's a nice, little, nice little dig. There are twenty
Speaker 1: seven nothing. That's all he needs to say. You don't
Speaker 1: need to say anything else. I think that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: All right, Back to the phone lines, Corey from California, Cory,
Speaker 1: how did you enjoy this victory? Basically, I just love
Speaker 1: to see the Eagles win. I like to see the
Speaker 1: consistency on offense. They did awesome both sides of the ball,
Speaker 1: but offensively they finally put it together. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: and seeing this run game get back to what they
Speaker 1: did so well last season, I thought was was really
Speaker 1: the best thing to see other than the past rushing. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I went you there. You know. The best move, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, Ship made before the game even started. After
Speaker 1: the coin toss. He decided to take the ball. Now
Speaker 1: he's been deferred and taking the ball in the second half,
Speaker 1: and it's that may have contributed to some of the
Speaker 1: slow stars. But they got the ball first, and they
Speaker 1: went down and they got a field well didn't get
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but they went down, they got a field goal,
Speaker 1: and I think that helped them get into a little
Speaker 1: bit of a rhythm early. He took the ball and
Speaker 1: they came out. And there were so many times where
Speaker 1: the defense scored or special team scored and so and
Speaker 1: the Eagles offensive they wait long, so long to the
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter to get them the field.
Speaker 1: So I wonder if they didn't have something to do
Speaker 1: with it. I'm sure he felt good about the offensive
Speaker 1: game plan tonight. And it was weird for the Giants defense.
Speaker 1: These first five games, we've seen eight nine guys in
Speaker 1: the box. Giants had six guys in the box for
Speaker 1: the most part throughout the game, and the Eagles really
Speaker 1: took advantage. I was shocked at Perry Fuel's game plan.
Speaker 1: I mean I really was. You know, they've had the
Speaker 1: opportunity to see this Eagles offense for a third time
Speaker 1: being in this division, and then two have seen some
Speaker 1: of the things that other teams have been six. Well,
Speaker 1: the man we're talking about, Lear McCoy, let's let's go
Speaker 1: over to the stadium say question you as a player,
Speaker 1: I like it like that because you really know who's
Speaker 1: really behind you, you know. And for people to kind
Speaker 1: of criticize myself and the running game, I mean we
Speaker 1: were fulling one coming into the game number five on one.
Speaker 1: I mean lost conference in myself and or the guys
Speaker 1: up front. I mean you guys did, or the people
Speaker 1: out there did. So I don't mind it. I got
Speaker 1: thick skin. I'm here to play ball. And and the
Speaker 1: thing that really blows me a way is if we
Speaker 1: weren't weren't that good as a running team, then why
Speaker 1: is every team coming here and stacking the box if
Speaker 1: they're not that good. But that's for you guys to
Speaker 1: write about and talk about. And then the radios and
Speaker 1: all that. I don't mind it at all. I got
Speaker 1: thick skin. Uh. Surprisingly, they kind of played a lot
Speaker 1: of too high and they left the safety out the box,
Speaker 1: which which was was different, um, and they paid for it.
Speaker 1: Then when they try to move the safety down, it's
Speaker 1: too late. You got us. We're in their groove. Um.
Speaker 1: You know you're hitting running lanes. Ship did a great
Speaker 1: job today too. If calling the plays, he got me
Speaker 1: so many one on one opportunities, Um to make plays
Speaker 1: and guys up front just blow them off the ball
Speaker 1: the whole entire game. Um, I mean sending back there
Speaker 1: deep looking at as the players are developing and just
Speaker 1: seeing how the guys in front of blocking made. As
Speaker 1: a running back, you know, you feel good, start getting
Speaker 1: your groove and then now you can start picking them apart.
Speaker 1: Nick through some some dump passes, they me some play actions, um,
Speaker 1: and may he played so as an offense. I felt
Speaker 1: if he played well today, all the running wings, that
Speaker 1: maybe you're a team in five weeks, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, obviously it's obvious that it was
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of room today, you know, but
Speaker 1: that's gonna passed and we're moving forward, happy to get
Speaker 1: lane back in there. Um, I think every player in
Speaker 1: the second year is always the biggest jump that you
Speaker 1: really recognize, and I can see it in lane and
Speaker 1: as the guys in front just really totally dominating. We
Speaker 1: made they made the right calls and play well. So
Speaker 1: definitely a lot more running lanes. And I'm also myself,
Speaker 1: I feel like I made a lot more better decisions,
Speaker 1: like just going on it is hitting it. If it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a whole, it's not gonna the whole. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna, you know, take the most I can get,
Speaker 1: you know, and just um and in some places, I
Speaker 1: feel like I left some yards out there. Um, you
Speaker 1: know in open field. Uh, that's that's what I do best.
Speaker 1: And in tonight they kind of got me more than
Speaker 1: I would like satisfaction. I mean, I leave myself out
Speaker 1: of it because I'm a competitor. I like to I
Speaker 1: like to play, and I know I complain. Um, I
Speaker 1: think I'm more satisfied just to the team win. You know.
Speaker 1: The first thing people want to talk about just oh, well,
Speaker 1: got the running game goings over a hundred yards, but
Speaker 1: we're five to one. We're five to one with me
Speaker 1: going over a hundred or under on it and and
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm here to really talk about, because
Speaker 1: that's what matters. If you were you of or a
Speaker 1: dallashed it before you went on school, I'm sorry going
Speaker 1: how conscious were you of what the cowboys be before?
Speaker 1: You're always asking questions, You're trying to find out what's
Speaker 1: going on. Um, they're playing at a high level right now,
Speaker 1: and then we are too, so you kind of keep
Speaker 1: an eye out for that, Alice, and we'll have our
Speaker 1: time to play. So if they keep winning and we're
Speaker 1: gonna keep winning, eventually we'll get a square off and
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. He gets the mark up. Now,
Speaker 1: I was joking that Zach was saying, when the calm,
Speaker 1: then she goes over the whole offense. You were kind
Speaker 1: of getting feeling. Now he's right. He's right, because when
Speaker 1: the running game is going, that's what kind of makes
Speaker 1: the offense because now you could go over top um,
Speaker 1: get the play actions. You know, didn't say this or
Speaker 1: so conscious of the run you know you're gash you
Speaker 1: know that's the first thing think about, um, And then
Speaker 1: then once that happens, you leave the corners one on
Speaker 1: one with so much space out there to make plays,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's how we really play. That's once
Speaker 1: we get the running game going, then we have so
Speaker 1: many plays that that passes that come off the run.
Speaker 1: There's different options, um And like tonight, I mean the
Speaker 1: match up would did with h D RC and irks,
Speaker 1: I mean there's different matchups. And as a tight end,
Speaker 1: I mean he's in a mismatch for a lot of people,
Speaker 1: even cornerbacks. Why was that sweep so effective tonight? You
Speaker 1: were able to get to the perimeter and hit off
Speaker 1: some big runs. Well, we actually started off hitting them
Speaker 1: inside under center a lot. If you notice that a
Speaker 1: lot more than usual, hit him inside, gashing them, gashing them.
Speaker 1: Um So then anybody, I mean, if something's if you're
Speaker 1: getting killed inside, you try to mush it in. Which
Speaker 1: they're a wide nine type of team, and they kind
Speaker 1: of moved in and we got the edges. I mean,
Speaker 1: with with the tackles we have, they can really reach.
Speaker 1: And it's the guys in front, Like I said, they
Speaker 1: got to their their keys so fast. On the double
Speaker 1: blocks to the backers, I mean they played good. Even
Speaker 1: the wide receivers had a lot of good blocks to
Speaker 1: that to lose Darren's I answer the same question. I
Speaker 1: guess just um, I don't know the situation or the
Speaker 1: condition of this, but I mean he's a big time
Speaker 1: player and he makes me better. Um. He takes the
Speaker 1: load off, you know. He has his own type of packages.
Speaker 1: We can make plays and gets in his own zone
Speaker 1: and we're fucking together from special teams. That's another key
Speaker 1: thing about him is is he does that so well. Um.
Speaker 1: And then the passing game in and running the game.
Speaker 1: So I mean, hopefully we can get him. Um. I
Speaker 1: mean that's tough, all right, all right, And speaking of
Speaker 1: Darren Sproles, the word from the locker room was that
Speaker 1: he was walking okay, he was not too concerned. So
Speaker 1: hopefully the bye week will help get Darren Sprowls back.
Speaker 1: When the Eagles returned to action in Week eight at Arizona.
Speaker 1: All right, back to the phone lines, John from New Jersey, John,
Speaker 1: are you in Giants Country celebrating this win? Now? I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not like, I'm actually from Marshall, Pennsylvania, Okay, And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I just love the way the Eagles
Speaker 1: played tonight. This is like the John you mind turning
Speaker 1: down the the speakers you got going on there? Say
Speaker 1: that again? Do you mind turning down the speakers of
Speaker 1: you watching the show we got he wants to listen
Speaker 1: to himself. Hold on once in here? What a narcissist?
Speaker 1: Yeah down, we got the feedback feedback, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: just like really impressed with this game tonight. Amen. And
Speaker 1: I'll say, Nick Foles, I think he did his job.
Speaker 1: He was. Um, I mean with the two interceptions, I
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, you can overlook that. Um. I
Speaker 1: mean he's yeah, he already said that's something he's gonna
Speaker 1: work on. I'll side he's a team player and um
Speaker 1: once and I'll tie you he I mean, I know
Speaker 1: he's not going to do olicate what he did last year,
Speaker 1: but he did his job tonight. I certainly agree, John,
Speaker 1: And thank you very much for the phone call. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he's starting quarterback of them five and one team this
Speaker 1: time and first place in his division, who he yarns
Speaker 1: away from being six and oh yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's the thing about Nick. I think what happens often,
Speaker 1: which it does with every quarterback, Nick's not it's not
Speaker 1: special that it's just here in Philadelphia. I think this
Speaker 1: goes on and just about every NFL city that doesn't
Speaker 1: have Manning Brady hell Brady too this year Rogers. I mean,
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks player is gonna always be over Screwtinize. It
Speaker 1: just is. And that's the thing. A lot of people
Speaker 1: like the harp on when it's good or when it's bad.
Speaker 1: That's what everybody's gonna want to talk about. But I
Speaker 1: thought Nick had a solid performance tonight. Obviously, the one
Speaker 1: throw he had earlier when he was trying to look
Speaker 1: like he was trying to throw it away, throw it
Speaker 1: over Sprow's head, but the stayed in bounds. I would
Speaker 1: obviously like to have that one back. In the second interception,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was almost like a nothing interception. So
Speaker 1: I think from last week to this week, Nick looks
Speaker 1: much better than he did when he was in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: You know, San Francisco might have been one of his
Speaker 1: worst games. The last two weeks, I think he's gotten
Speaker 1: a little bit better, and I think he's starting to
Speaker 1: focus more and more on the mechanics in the pocket.
Speaker 1: The mechanics in the pocket. The difficult thing is that
Speaker 1: when you're under pressure in the heat of a game,
Speaker 1: he want so desperately sometimes to make plays and make
Speaker 1: a positive play that he sometimes puts himself in show.
Speaker 1: But you're talking about a kid that was he started
Speaker 1: less than what twenty five games, that's right. I don't
Speaker 1: think he started two season worth of games yet. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, he's a starter of a five and
Speaker 1: one team that's tied for first place in this division.
Speaker 1: A lot of quarterbacks would love to be in Nick
Speaker 1: Fole's shoes right now, no question about it. All right,
Speaker 1: we are nearing the end of the road, Clue and
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. That's right, as I was saying, we are
Speaker 1: nearing the end of the road. I'll call that boys
Speaker 1: demand there we go. So we'll take a quick commercial break.
Speaker 1: On the other side of great Coachell is going to
Speaker 1: break down the touchdown paths to James Casey. We're also
Speaker 1: going to hear from defensive cornator Billy Davis, who commanded
Speaker 1: that shutout of the Jar to night. So we're nearing
Speaker 1: the end of the road. But before we do that,
Speaker 1: it's it's so hard to say about yesterday because the
Speaker 1: game happened yesterday, it's already Monday morning, So we're gonna
Speaker 1: relive it a little bit more coming back on the
Speaker 1: postgame show presented by Rico Accepta is the way to
Speaker 1: get to game. I love taking the subway down there
Speaker 1: because I feel like i'm, you know, with all fans.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got their gear on. People are chanting and cheering
Speaker 1: on the train before you can get to the station.
Speaker 1: There's a sense of camaraderie because Philly loves their sports teams.
Speaker 1: It's really fun. It's Philadelphia. In the locker room, we
Speaker 1: are all the same, or lose, we get what we
Speaker 1: need to come back. Get a ride the cover twenty

Speaker 1: metal blazing down these tracks. There's people ringing bells above me,
Speaker 1: there's honking going on, there's trees flying by. It's fantastic,
Speaker 1: all right, well, when the Eagles win, you win on

Speaker 1: Eagles win, of course, the download or use the Duncan

Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry you didn't. You didn't grab it
Speaker 1: from the press box on your way out like I did.
Speaker 1: I didn't. All right? Well, well, well okay. Greg co Sell,
Speaker 1: the third member of our team, breaks down the Eagles
Speaker 1: touchdown that made it seventeen nothing, a beautifully designed play
Speaker 1: that allowed James Casey to run free into the end zone.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. One of the things that really struck me
Speaker 1: from the moment this game started was how often Nick
Speaker 1: Foles was under center. We're used to seeing him in
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly's offense in the shotgun, but this game, and
Speaker 1: I didn't chart it, but I would bet. He was
Speaker 1: under center in the first half more than in any
Speaker 1: other game since he became the full time starter, and
Speaker 1: this touchdown to James Casey was really an interesting play.
Speaker 1: The first thing you should take a look at is
Speaker 1: this was three tight end personnel. There's two tight ends here,
Speaker 1: Selek and Arts. This is James Casey, who does not
Speaker 1: get a lot of snaps, but he was in the
Speaker 1: game on this play. And what you're going to get
Speaker 1: is you're going to get play action, but it's hard
Speaker 1: zone run action to the left, to the side of Casey.
Speaker 1: And what they're trying to do is not only impact
Speaker 1: the first and second level defenders, they're also trying to
Speaker 1: impact this safety, Quentin Demps. And you're going to see
Speaker 1: that the play action will impact the entire defense, all
Speaker 1: three levels of the defense. Let's clear the screen and
Speaker 1: run it a little bit. You can see the hard
Speaker 1: zone action frees it here. Look at Falls. He's clear,
Speaker 1: he's out on the edge right now. There's no defenders
Speaker 1: near him. The defense has been deceived. That's essentially what
Speaker 1: hard run action is. It's a deception concept. It deceives
Speaker 1: the defense. It forces them to move in one way.
Speaker 1: When the offense then comes back the other way, and
Speaker 1: if we let this run again and finish it out,
Speaker 1: you'll see that Falls throws to a wide open Casey
Speaker 1: and Demps is trailing him. This was actually an easy
Speaker 1: touchdown based on the hard run action, the deception element,
Speaker 1: the boot action by Nick Falls with three tight ends
Speaker 1: on the field. A beautifully designed play. All right. So
Speaker 1: a good game from James Casey as he has certainly
Speaker 1: contributed a little bit more on offense than he did
Speaker 1: last season. I think three catches last year. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: a big play for James Casey and a big play
Speaker 1: for the Eagles tight end. But the big story of
Speaker 1: this game, of course, like is the first shutout for
Speaker 1: the Eagles since nineteen ninety six. And the man who
Speaker 1: Steward did dance shutout, defensive coordinator Billy Davis. We talked
Speaker 1: to him in the locker room after the game. Does
Speaker 1: that mean every week? I mean, that's a high bart
Speaker 1: and I took it. It's very hard in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and it's it's rare. Like I said, it's a team
Speaker 1: shut out. It takes everybody to get those word. It
Speaker 1: was this what you want to take away? First second
Speaker 1: third of the Giants. Well, we knew the run game
Speaker 1: was was what really was the balance that they had,
Speaker 1: and uh, we wanted to make sure to make it
Speaker 1: a one dimensional game. And the guys did a great
Speaker 1: job stopping to run early and then we took away
Speaker 1: some quick throwing lanes and that kind of got Eli
Speaker 1: holding the ball a little bit. And then the pass
Speaker 1: rush was really on their game today. They rushed well
Speaker 1: as a group. Uh, you know, we moved it around
Speaker 1: a little bit. Who was Russian, who wasn't, and uh
Speaker 1: just got him looking at the rush and it helped.
Speaker 1: The coverage was tight. Did you do anything differently defensively
Speaker 1: to disguise things that? I mean, he's not a hard guy.
Speaker 1: He wasn't been a hard guy to get to, but
Speaker 1: you obviously got to him well a little bit. And
Speaker 1: for that, well, when you have a guy with his
Speaker 1: kind of experience and his intelligence that you, uh, you
Speaker 1: do disguise a little bit more, and we did. We
Speaker 1: went into with a plan of disguising a little bit more.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, the guys covered
Speaker 1: well in the pass rush, won their one on ones,
Speaker 1: and that was the key. Was this the best team apport?
Speaker 1: You guys hat since you've been decordinating here. Absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: shut out twenty seven nothing, that's rare. I've been only
Speaker 1: part of a couple shoutouts in my career and that's
Speaker 1: twenty some years. So it's their heart in the NFL.
Speaker 1: That's satisfying is you can't some ups and downs through
Speaker 1: the first five games to go into a bye week
Speaker 1: with this kind of performance. How do you feel right now? Awesome?
Speaker 1: This is great. You know, it's a great feeling. But
Speaker 1: it's one week like all of them. You know, even
Speaker 1: when you feel down after some of the winds and
Speaker 1: down after bad lass, you you enjoy the moment. You
Speaker 1: enjoy the win because that's the most important thing. And
Speaker 1: then the shutouts to bonus, and it's neat that we
Speaker 1: can do that. The guys know that the bars at
Speaker 1: high now and we got to strive for the four quarters.
Speaker 1: That's what we put up today. It was four quarters
Speaker 1: of good ball, and that's what we hadn't done up
Speaker 1: to this time. I'm sure that coach always challenged in
Speaker 1: your players, particularly in their quarters. That the confidence that
Speaker 1: you showed in your players this week, particularly your quarters
Speaker 1: kind of manifested itself tonight with the way they hope.
Speaker 1: So they know I have confidence and we have confidence
Speaker 1: in them, and most importantly is they have confidence in themselves.
Speaker 1: They the NFL is it's a tough business, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna have some bad weeks or bad stretches of a
Speaker 1: couple of games and then you put some good stretches
Speaker 1: to get everybody loves you again. So it's just a
Speaker 1: grind and you just gotta put your head down to
Speaker 1: work and hold onto the confidence as a group collectively
Speaker 1: and individually. Yeah, play certainly feel very good for Bill
Speaker 1: dam as he got his shut out, and that is
Speaker 1: going to wrap it up for a very happy Black
Speaker 1: Sunday here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. And for all
Speaker 1: Eagles fans, remember that you can watch Chip Kelly's press
Speaker 1: conference live right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com tomorrow
Speaker 1: at two pm. And we also got Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: coming your way at five o'clock. Thanks to you for watching,

Speaker 1: for your your flavor. Yes, absolutely, your festive attire. Christma
Speaker 1: Fierson did it as well. So I'm gonna went to
Speaker 1: a giant spin older day. That's exactly right. That's exactly.
Speaker 1: I would have won a green time, but I didn't
Speaker 1: want to give the Giants any extra motivation than they
Speaker 1: already had. But it worked. You know, imagine what the
Speaker 1: score would have been if if the Giants didn't have
Speaker 1: all that extra motivation anyway, I know, right, it could
Speaker 1: have been what fifty to nothing? Yeah? Maybe? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: that's gonna wrap it up for the postgame show presented
Speaker 1: by Rico Wait. Thank you for watching, Remember Chip Kelly
Speaker 1: Live tomorrow and keeping you covered throughout the bye week
