WEBVTT - Post Game Show: Black Sunday Victory 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:08.039 The performance we have been waiting for all season from 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.800 the Eagles came on Black Sunday. Here as you see 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:14.319 Nick Foles Tach toss a beautiful touchdown pass to Zach 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:16.640 Ertz in the end zone. The Eagles shut out the 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.520 New York Giants twenty seven. Nothing but Wolf, that's Greg 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.800 co Sell. This is the postgame show presented by Rico. Greg. 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.079 The last time the Eagles had a shutout was of 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.720 the New York Giants back in nineteen ninety six. You 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:30.240 had a full head of hair back then, I think, 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.560 not quite but more than I have now. Well, certainly, 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.840 what a performance from the Eagles. Shout out to Tommy Lawler, 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:37.920 who I know has been waiting so long for a 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.839 shutout for this Eagles team. But what a performance. It was, 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:45.280 well rounded, such a balanced performance. The Eagles defense dominated 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.239 the Giants front eight sacks on the night. Connor bar 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.360 when leading the way with three. Lashan McCoy finally got 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.360 untracked twenty two carries for one hundred and forty nine yards. 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.480 He looked like the lea Shan McCoy that we saw 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.440 last season. Really top to bottom, Greg, this game was 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.880 dominated by the Eagles in every facet right from the start. 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.560 It was really an impressive performance both sides of the ball. 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.320 It started the line of scrimmage, both offensively and defensively. 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.360 And what really stood out to me initially, we know 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.920 that Sean McCoy had been struggling and they'd been struggling 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.200 to get the run game going. They were not in 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.800 the shotgun as much as they normally are, which is 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.400 what about ninety eight percent of the time. They started 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.360 out with Foles under center. That's how they got the 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.720 run game going. So Chip Kelly, a few tweaks here 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.760 and there, one of the main ones was putting Nick 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.040 Foles under center. Even the touchdown pass to James Casey 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.360 came with Foles under center. So a few little adjustments 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.840 and it was a dominant performance in all areas. So 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.720 we've got plenty coming your way here on the Postgame 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.040 Show presented by Rico, we will bring you Chip Kelly 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.680 and Nick Foles their press conferences live from Lincoln Financial Field. 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.520 Will talk a little bit later to Ike Reese to 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.280 get his take on the game. Greg's going to break 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.920 down some of the big plays in this game. But Greg, 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.320 let's start at the quarterback position from Nick Foles, who 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.920 was maybe not the best performer for the Eagles on 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.880 the ninth through two pretty bad interceptions that he should 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.160 not have thrown, but still led the offense down. What 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:08.639 did you see from Nick Foles? Well, it's funny you 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.040 say that, because again Foles probably held the ball too 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.400 long in the pocket. But it didn't really show up 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.200 tonight as much as usual because I thought the offensive 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.160 line clearly had its best performance. You know, this Giant's 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.160 defensive front had played really well the last number of weeks, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.440 and one thing that really stood out watching the game 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.480 was how much time Nick Foles had in the pocket. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.560 He had time to go from one side of the 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.840 field to the other. Now, again, you don't know what 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.120 he saw when he looked at one side and didn't 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.280 throw it, but he had the time in the pocket 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.400 he was able to do that. And then there were 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.400 other throws in which he was decisive and got rid 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.200 of the ball, which is really what you want to see. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.880 But I thought there was a quicker tempo tonight as well, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.320 and that's the way Chip Kelly wants to play, and 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.080 it helped the offense overall. You mentioned the offensive line 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.160 saying it was the best performance we've seen from them 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.520 this season. I don't think it's any coincidence that this 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.680 was the first game at the Eagles have had the 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.360 same group of five guys playing together for the second 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.359 consecutive Yeah, and I think that just watching the game, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.519 David Mulk seemed to me like he had a very 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.760 good game that he used his movement. See a lot 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.000 of people may not remember when he was in college 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.800 at the University of Michigan. He was always the smallest center, 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.919 but he had really good movement, and the first couple 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.000 of weeks that he played he was overpowered a bit. 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.320 Now he got a bit more comfortable. They got the 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.800 outside run game going. That's the other thing that really 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.840 stood out tonight is they got the outside run game going. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.720 They were able to get on the perimeter. Mulk pulling 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.960 Harriman's polling. We know Peters is probably the best polling 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.520 tackle in the NFL, but this was an offensive run 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.680 game in which they were finally able to get outside 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.600 and get McCoy on the edge and even Sprowles scoring 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.920 the touchdown he got on the edge as well. And 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.160 from a macro perspective, to see this Eagles team not 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.600 really salt away a lead in the fourth quarter. Keep 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.080 the pedal to the metal. They really they scored that 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.760 twenty seven the point in the third quarter and then 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.880 we're able to just sort of sit on the lead 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.040 from there. The defense tonight was just so good in 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.640 every facet of the game. As we talked about before, 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.360 the defensive front just killed the Giants offensive line. Eli 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.720 Manning had no time to throw all night long now, 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.280 and that's to me really. Obviously, McCoy getting a track 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.400 is big, but I think the defense, Bill Davis's defense. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.559 This Giant's team had put up more than four hundred 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.280 yards of offense in two of the last three game 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.920 and we're playing very very well. The ball was coming 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.120 out of Eli manning hands quickly, the offense was moving. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.960 The Eagles made them look very very average, even worse 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.360 than average tonight, with a ton of pressure, winning both 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.760 one on one matchups. We saw Connor Barwin consistently beat 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.240 Pew at the tackle position. We saw some really interesting 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.839 pressure concepts which Bill Davis has been building and building, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.080 Malcolm Jenkins part of the pressure. We again saw Colin 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.120 Graham lined up inside in the a gaps, a lot 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.919 of different looks, a lot of things that offenses have 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.400 to deal with and are very tough to deal with. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.440 Justin Peu grew up a diehard Eagles fan, so I'm 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.240 not ruling at the possibility that maybe he was sort 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.680 of on the Eagles sign tonight. But well, you used 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.560 that was kind of barn before the game when you suggest, 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.880 I think it's possible. Barwin led the way with three sacks, 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.200 Vinny Curry getting two, Brandon Graham, Trent Cole, and Brandon 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.159 Bear all getting sacks as well. What a great feeling 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.359 it is, though, just to take a step back after 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.120 all this sort of talk that went back and forth 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.599 this week to dominate the Giants at home in front 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.240 of a great crowd, the black jerseys, which I thought 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.600 it looked very nice, and now you sit at five 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.159 and one tie with the Cowboys. You get the week off, 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.920 you get to sort of taste this victory as we 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.760 move forward. And remember, you can be part of the 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.960 show here through tagboard. Just tweet with hashtag fly Eagles 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.880 Fly or hashtag black Sunday. But Greg, you know you 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.560 watch that that Cowboys Seahawks game today. I did. I 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.120 did two sort of powerful teams. Now taking a step 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.000 at the top of the NFC East, the Eagles and 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.919 the Cowboys. Yeah, And what's interesting is is the Cowboys 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.320 would be considered old school in the way they're playing. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.479 They're lining up and running the football out of base 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.080 personnel based formations, sort of old school football. Then you 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.320 have the Chip Kelly offense, which is still it's based 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.960 on the run, but not a traditional run game in 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.960 that sense. But again, I come back to the defense. 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.400 Bo I really thought that tonight's game really was more 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.680 about the defense than anything else. I'm not sure anybody 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.800 would have thought that the Eagles would shut out the Giant. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.400 Team might have picked the Eagles to win the game, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.600 but I don't think anybody would have thought that the 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.960 defensive performance would have been as dominant as it was tonight. 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.000 Giants two oh fourteen on third Day. And that's how 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.240 good the Eagles defense was. I think you're right. I 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.039 think the two biggest takeaways are the performance of the defense, 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.200 how great this pass rush has been over the last 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.279 three games, for really sixteen sacks over the last three games. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.880 And the other thing on the offensive side is getting 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.400 Lashaw McCoy back looking like he looked last season. One 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.120 hundred and forty nine yards rushing and he looked, you know, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.560 he looked like, yeah, you can say that, and what 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.440 is it really? You know what he did? He looked 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.760 like the old show. The lateral quickness. That's ultimately the 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.960 lateral quickness. And there was obviously always be a couple 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:00.960 of runs in which he probably he bounces too much, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.840 but that's the style of runner who he is. But 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.200 you saw the lateral quickness, the lateral explosion. That's the 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.840 kind of runner Lashawn McCoy is. The ability to make 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.880 people miss and confined areas, that's what makes him a 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.440 great runner. Darren Sprowles did leave the game with an injury, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.320 so we hope that he's okay and we hope to 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.200 get a bit of information on that as well. Victor Cruz, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.000 unfortunately for the Giants tourious Butteller tendon in the end 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.240 zone the one time the Giants got into the red zone, 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.480 and that was pretty a sad. Yeah, certainly scene on 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.480 the field that was tough to see. And a guy 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.720 who plays very well against the Eagles, so you'll never 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.640 like to see that, all right. So once again we've 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.080 got Chip Kelly Live coming up very shortly. Then we'll 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.400 have Nick Foles after that, bringing on Ike Bruce as well. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:42.040 We're also taking your phone calls. Two one five, three 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:46.440 four one fifty one seventy. I think that's what it is, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.679 fifty one seventy. All right, we'll get that right exactly. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.520 There we go three two zero fifty one seventy. So 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.240 there you go. Anybody else who sepped out to you? 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.000 I guess special teams once again pretty good for the Eagles. 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.880 Cody Parking making some big field goals, Darren Sproles all 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.520 almost broke that long return, it wasn't for Malcolm Jenkins Aez. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.840 The player who to me over the last two three 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.160 weeks has been really impressive and in an unexpected way 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.679 given what he did last year, is Knnor Barwin. Because 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.120 Connor barn last year, I thought he played really well 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.920 at a lot of the details of the game. He 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.960 wasn't sacking quarterbacks, but he was playing pass coverage, he 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.520 was setting the edge. This year, he's sacking the quarterback. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.400 He's almost playing like he did a few years ago 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.400 in Houston, right before the Eagles signed him to the 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.200 free agent contract. And I think Connor Barwin, see when 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.840 you can beat tackles one on one as a pass 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.960 rusher that's absolutely critical, and he's starting to do that. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.680 He's starting to win one on one matchups, and I 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.080 think he's the player to me that's standing out on 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.520 this defense perhaps more than anyone right now. The other 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.800 guy to me up front is Fletcher Cox, who I 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.000 think we've talked about in the past. He has all 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.440 these tools. Does this defense really feature his skill set 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.000 as much as a different kind of defense would, But 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.640 these last few games he has been dominant. He's been 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.040 really controlling the line of scrimmage. I think Fletcher Cox 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.559 is sort of proved himself to be one of the 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.080 real playmakers. And another name I think is absolutely worth 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.840 mentioning is Vinny Curry. Because Vinny Curry plays what maybe 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.079 twenty five snaps a game. You know, he plays in 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:14.440 certain sub packages for sacks, utter and he is a 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.319 consistently good pass rusher. Even when he doesn't get sacks, 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.160 he's able to pressure the quarterback and be an effective 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.800 player in his role. And Brandon Graham's been able to 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.920 do that as well. So this is a defense that's 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.920 been able to play really well in their base defense, 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.640 which they started the game in against the Giants three 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.920 wide receivers. They started in their base defense, but then 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.320 when they do go to their nickel their dime, they're 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.160 really getting excellent pass rush from Vinny Curry, from Brandon Graham. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.400 So the parts are sort of falling into place. Obviously, 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.280 with a bye week, they'll continue to work on that. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.080 It'll be very interesting to see how this rest of 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.120 the season continues, because I think this defense is really 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.720 beginning to play the way Bill Davis envisions it. As 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.840 for Nick Foles, you know, we talked about a bit 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.160 of an uneven performance a little bit, but one of 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.880 the things he did very well was spread the ball 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.840 around seven players with reception, six with at least two. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.760 We saw him do that. One of the things that 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.719 he does well is sort of find the open guy 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.960 and not locking on one guy. No, when he made 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.760 some good throws early when the game, the touchdown pass 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.920 arts was a beautiful was about as good as it gets. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.920 I mean, we can talk about the catch, but really 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.360 the ball could only be thrown in one place, and 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.360 I'm always a believer that if the ball can only 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.720 really be thrown to one place, then it's the throw 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.760 that makes the play and not the catch. And I 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.880 thought that was a terrific to cut you off. We've 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:38.440 got Chip Kelly over at Lincoln Financial Field. Just you know, 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.199 we can be in the center and being or in 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.200 the shotgun. It's just different things. Sometimes it's adjusting the 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.240 path of the back. But you know, we've done it 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.320 both ways. So if your team seemed to play with 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.840 a lot of result tonight, he like, did you get 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.400 a sense from them maybe they were not getting enough respect, 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.800 maybe for being FOURM one and putting that visions Now, 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.640 I don't we don't talk about any of that stuff. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.440 I mean outside noise. We just try to stay away 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.679 from it. Either way, whether it's you know, we talk 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.199 about praise or blame is all the same. You know, 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.440 it's just about focusing. And and we we thought we 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.320 had to come in here and play with great energy. Obviously, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:08.839 I thought the crowd was awesome. Being at home. We 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.680 had great energy. You could tell it right from the jump. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.720 And then really the big difference in our other games 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.800 that we played, the shares we executed. You know, I 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:20.880 think UM in all phases, offensively, defensively, UM and in 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.199 special teams we didn't you know, it wasn't a spurt 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:24.760 here or a spurt there. I think it was a 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.520 consistent football game from start to finish. You you you 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.600 look at the drive in the um second half there, 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.360 we throw the interception and they return at our defense 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:34.680 goes out in the field and does not give up 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.120 any points. You know, we stop them on the three 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.360 yard line, and then the offense goes out in the 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.240 field and has a ninety seven yard drive for a touchdown. So, um, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.000 you know, it's it's something to build upon. Um. You know, 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.360 so we're happy where we are. I guess the best 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.240 way to say is we're please. We're not satisfied. You know, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.240 there's still a lot of things we can do better, um, 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.360 but but we're pleased with the performance tonight, the dot 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.360 almination of waking that today surprise. No, I mean I don't. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:58.959 I don't look at it that way. I just look 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.719 at it is we had a bunch of guys that 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.240 went out there, and I thought we had a good 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.439 game play on both sides of the ball and on teams, 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.240 and we executed were able to get the run game 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.840 going tonight. You know, I think it had been there before. 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.360 I thought the shan did a really good job running 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.240 tonight really hit some things tonight and you saw the 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.000 Lashan that I think everybody knows um he can be like. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.280 And I thought, obviously we got a little bit more continuity. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.320 It's laying second game back, you know, a little bit 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.720 same same group to play the game before, played this game. 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.040 So just a little bit more consistency. State on blocks 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:28.320 a little bit longer, and ran the ball a little 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.400 bit harder and blocked well on the perimeter. Season is gone. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.959 You say this is the best game. There were no comebacks, 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:38.120 no any other Yeah. Yeah, I mean I'm not into 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.040 writing games, but you know it was. It was a 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:44.040 good game. Defense. Eight sacks, you know, what's been kind 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.440 of the key to that resurgence long and think we've 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.320 had sixteen and the last couple I don't know the 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.160 exact totally. I think maybe in the last three y Yeah, 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.199 you know, I just think they're working. You know, it's 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.080 it's not a scheme deal, it's it's our guys continue 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.840 to work at their trade and they get better. You know, 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.440 counter barrow when we saw I saw it coming, and 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.040 I know Billy talked about it a lot, and I 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.160 think people were you know, maybe he didn't believe us 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:06.679 but we saw those guys getting better every day. He 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.640 saw the way they trained, saw their approach to what 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.520 we do from a training standpoint, and and saw him 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.920 getting better and better and better and continuing to develop. So, um, 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.600 you know, it's just it's just a matter of you know, 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.439 it's it's not, Hey, this doesn't this isn't working. I 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.320 think we saw that that that it can work. We 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:23.880 just have to be more consistent in it. So it 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:25.960 wasn't Hey let's change everything a drastically. We do the 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.000 same exact things. Billy called the same defense as called 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.439 a lot of the same run plays, a lot of 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.080 the same pass plays that we've run all along, but 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:36.440 we just executed better tonight. Both. I mean, I don't 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.840 think there were a lot of really open receivers, you know, 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:40.400 that were just running clean down the field where he 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.480 could set you know. The big thing about them going 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.120 into the game, um, you know, with with whether it 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.360 be disguises or reroute or things like that, we wanted 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.600 to disrupt the timing of the game. Um, because they 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.200 were doing a great job, especially in the three games 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.520 in one with a ball coming out quick, I mean 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.920 it was coming out hot, and he was uh you know, 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.520 Eli was playing at a really high level. So I 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.240 think it was a combination of um not having maybe 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.760 the first read there. Uh so that now that now 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.240 we can generate some pressure and um, obviously it's a 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.200 it's always a combination too, but I think the coverage 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.320 had a lot to do with it. You guys are 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.439 five and one, but the big leads the league returnovers. 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.280 How we really concern is that it doesn't matter if 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:18.960 you guys keep if we keep winning, doesn't matter. Now 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.040 I woulday answer your first question if we keep winning, 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.640 it doesn't matter, but I mean if it if it 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.040 hurts us, then yeah, I mean we gotta We still 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.520 have to do a better job from that standpoint. We 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.320 were a lot cleaner last year from a from a 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.600 turnover standpoint, and um, he'll be the first to tell 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:31.640 you that. You know, I think the one at the 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.280 end of the first half, I think he was trying 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:34.440 to throw it away. I just don't think it get 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.560 out of bounds, you know. And then uh he was 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.680 scrambling on the second one. And we just gott do 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.200 a better job of protecting the football. I thought we 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:41.840 did a real good job from a running back standpoint, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.120 and receiver standpoint of ball security. We just got to 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.480 do a better job from that standpoint because you can't 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.040 continue to do it at that rate and uh and 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:50.640 end up on the right side of the ledger. You know, 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.760 the turnover um differential is really big in this league 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.000 in terms of being being an indicator of wins and losses. 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.560 So let's I was be able to get to the 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.320 edge few times. It's night that he hadn't been doing 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.960 some previous games. He's had a matter of having the 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.880 confidence that you're gonna be able to get there and 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.040 if you do it once, then that in snowball and 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.080 then you get I think it's both. I thought he 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.280 ran really well today, but I also thought I think 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.120 Jason Peters did a great job. You know, he had 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.000 a real big matchup against Jason Pierre Paul. And I 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.080 also think Brent Sellick had an outstanding game kind of 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.960 blocking the ability to get us to the perimeter. So 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.040 you know, a combination of our tackles and really Brent 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.160 that or I thought Brent was outstanding blocking today. So 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.400 shot pass the casey was just a play action yea, 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.960 it was just play action run fake. We had run 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:34.400 the ball a couple of times out of that formation 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.360 had three tight ends in the game. And then you know, 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.800 we always have complimentary plays, so you know, if we're 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.560 running the ball, and I think the first couple of 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.680 runs were successful, but they were starting to get a 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.280 little bit closer and creeping up a little bit more 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.400 towards the line of scrimmage. And then anytime you get 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.920 an opportunity to attack somebody that has dual responsibility, you 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.120 know they have to step up on the run, but 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.920 they also have to cover in the past. You know, 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.200 it just came at the right time. We had a 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.040 right situation. We had the ball in obviously in a 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.960 good situation in the red zone there where we thought 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:00.400 we had a shot at it. Something he had worked 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.800 one for a while, and um, you know, our guys 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:07.880 went out executed. No, I just know it's a Nate, 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.880 But I haven't heard anything from from our medical stuff 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.600 to this scheme and especially the way he plays, and 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.960 he seems like pretty selfless professional. Yes, he's the ultimate. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:19.320 You know, you go back to the Detroit game a 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.920 year ago when we uh, you know, we're finishing the 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.440 game off and he catches the ball in the open 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.120 field and instead of running it into the end zone 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:26.960 where then we got to kick off, then our defense 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:28.560 has to go back on the field. He hooks liked 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.480 and gives up an opportunity to get a touchdown. Um, 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:32.920 you know, so we can just take a victory and 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.000 get off the field. You know. I think, Uh, he's awesome. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.400 I love the way he approaches everything. He's got the 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.720 right demeanor. He's everything you want. Uh, he's totally selfless. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.720 You know, he's he's exactly what you want. When you 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.000 talk about what I Philadelphia eagle looks like, Brent Sellick 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:51.040 is what a Philadelphi Eagle looks like. This week he 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:56.120 was obviously up. No, it's the same every I mean, 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.960 we do the same stuff all the time, and it's 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.760 just a matter of getting better and better. And it's 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.480 not it's something I think everybody works on. You get 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.120 to continue to develop, and the guys that don't get 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.240 better are the guys that take you know, the individual 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.200 periods for granted and say hey let's just get the team, 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:10.720 let's see what the scheme is this week and go. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.600 But I think not only Nick, everybody. I think you've 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.600 seen guys continue to develop. Our guys in their pass 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.560 rush moves, have continued to work on them, continue to 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.919
