WEBVTT - Postgame Show: Eagles Win 23-17 vs the Giants 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:13.200 Eagles Entertainment Okay, and overtime victory for the Eagles tonight 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.840 against the New York Giants twenty three to seventeen. The 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.520 Eagles come from behind. Yes, they've been making a sweat 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.119 kind of every single game lately. It feels like and 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.079 good to see the losing streaks snapped here with a 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.840 good win in the rain tonight. Welcome to the postgame show. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.720 Fran Duffy I greet Amy Campbell. Who wants to go first? 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:39.159 Initial thoughts good. I wish people could see behind the 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.720 scenes of the last couple of minutes when we're watching. 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.440 We're watching the end of the game in position, and 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.599 you know a lot of times we don't know what 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.640 we're about to be talking about a camera. He flipped 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:56.280 the desk, sighting. Very exciting to get especially against an 0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:02.200 NFC East opponent. Relieved, definitely relieved. Ending the three game 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.760 losing streak obviously is big here. Getting to win tonight 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.840 against this team. Wish it wasn't as difficult, but just 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.680 like everything in the twenty nineteen season has been, this 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.000 game was a direct reflection of that. But unlike most 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.480 of the season, the Eagles found the way to pull 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.640 this game out. Really a gutsy performance by this team. 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.200 I don't know how many guys left the game. I 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.000 don't even know who was out there at the end 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.520 of the game for Carson to play with on offense. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:35.160 Just um, a good win to keep this season alive. 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.640 We're in a tie for first place. I know it 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.080 doesn't feel like it, but it's been a long time 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.000 since I had anything to smell about. You know what, 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.000 I am going to enjoy this. It's been three weeks. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.720 I'm going to enjoy this. Oh yeah, right, So it's 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.440 been almost a month since we enjoyed that Chicago Bears win. 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.840 So good win tonight. Look, I think this is going 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.320 to be a fun one to watch the film on 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.640 because we really did see the offense kind of get 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.120 it together as the game progressed. They didn't score a 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.600 touchdown until the third quarter, just that one field goal 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.480 the only points for this Eagles offense. But with guys 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.760 like Boston Scott stepping up tonight, Greg Ward stepping up tonight, 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.640 Josh Perkins having a couple of big moments with a 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.880 lot of the main offensive guys out are injured. I mean, 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.919 guys were dropping like flies out there. Are a lot 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.840 of injuries across the board that I'm sure we're going 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.240 to be getting updated on as the week progresses. What 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:28.960 are you going to be looking to see when you're 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.640 watching the film of just all these contributors starting to 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.680 find some rhythm there. Well, you saw all these guys 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.120 starting to get into space, right, So we saw the 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.120 bubble screens to Boston Scott, bubble screens to Greg Ward, 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.520 allowing those guys to get into the flat and find 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.040 open space, get to the sideline, get down field. We 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.080 still didn't see a lot of big chunk plays for 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.120 the most part. We saw, you know, some catches by 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.960 zach Ertz and catches by Dallas Goddard down the field, 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.720 j j Arthega Whiteside coming up with that great over 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.280 the shoulder catch on the fade down the right sideline 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.760 to help tie the game. But ultimately, I'm excited to 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.000 see how all these things came together, the offense just 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.880 finding a gritty way to get it done, because you know, yeah, 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.280 it was fun on the back half of this game 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.120 to see how they were able to string things together. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.400 It was not a fun first two and a half quarters. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.440 So to see them go what did they put off 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.840 twenty eight yards in the five straight drives. It's five straight, 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.480 three an ounced. It was an ugly, ugly start, but 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.320 they were able to bounce back. And I think the 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.919 resiliency goes to the players on the team, the leaders 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.600 on the team, and also the coaches as well. Yeah, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.960 let's talk about Carson Wentz. You know, after watching this 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.160 first half, they go to the locker room and I'm 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.000 kind of thinking, Okay, this is the test for the leadership, Like, 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.200 who's going to come out here and say this is 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.200 not good enough. We are better than this. We are 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.240 going to be better than this. I'm going to will 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.720 us there. Carson Wentz tonight, finishing with three twenty five yards, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.360 two touchdowns, completing sixty six percent of his passes to 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.960 an array of different targets. I thought that he really 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.960 carried the team tonight in a big way. Yeah. I 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:53.840 don't even think I'm going out on a limb and 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.400 saying this this was his best game as a pro. Wow. Well, 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.640 when you think about the circumstances that was there, obviously 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.840 what was at stake, the fact that he doesn't have 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.360 premier weapons to get the ball to. They had to 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.480 win this game to go down the way they were, 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.680 what seventeen nothing or seventeen to three, whatever the score was, 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.080 and to be able to fight back in the middle 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.599 of that third quarter, fourth quarter, in the overtime, two 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.480 big drives late in this game to tie the game up, 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.400 and then the one in overtime. I mean, obviously he's 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.760 had better numbers and other games throughout the course of 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.559 his career, and he's looked dominant at some other games, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.479 particularly in two seventeen. But I'm just looking at the 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.120 circumstances and the way that he was able to rally 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.919 this team. Amy you just mentioned going in that locker 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.039 room at halftime, being booed off the field deservingly so, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.160 by the way in the first half, with no production 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.040 from the offense, to rally those guys, what he had 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.640 left available to him, Miles Sanders in and out of 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.080 the lineup, You lose your right tackle, you lose your 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.080 best wide receipt. He's out there throwing to Josh Perkins 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.479 and making some some key throws there. I mean, I thought, 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.120 whence his uh, it's I don't even know what the 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.560 what his stat line was for as far as completion percentage. Man, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.559 he dropped some nice dimes in there to these guys 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.000 tonight and these in this weather condition with gloves on 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.440 his hands. I really do think it was it was 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.080 his best performance as a pro. Well, there were a 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.960 couple of drops there too that I thought, yeah, we're 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.800 pretty good throws as well that I'm not going to 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.599 blame the receiver on that when I thought he was 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.280 you know, it would have been a nice catch if 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.680 he made that nice catch, Yeah, Fran would you see 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.440 from Carson? I thought we saw resiliency. You know, I 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.360 goes back to what I said earlier, if the whole 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.200 team showed it. But I think ultimately, when you look 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.400 at the quarterback in this game, what he was able 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.880 to do with some of those weapons being out on 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.400 you know, on the sideline, you lose Alshon Jeffrey, you 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.680 lose Miles or Miles Sanders for a good chunk of 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.080 this game, you lose Lane Johnson. So some of the 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.040 key pieces in this offense that you know weren't available 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.119 you already came in obviously, no Jordan Howard, no Nelson 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.880 Igilore you how you knew you were gonna be shorthanded? 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:03.360 They come out and then the way that he was 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.120 able to fight get through that adversity. You get Bood 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.680 coming off the field at halftime. They had the drops, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.400 you had sacks. They didn't turn the ball over, but 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.080 they still had a lot of adversity. They were able 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.640 to bounce back. He made some great throws down the stretch. Yeah. 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.400 I had the one fumble early in the game that 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.000 I thought his knee was down, but they obviously couldn't 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:25.240 determine it and didn't overturn it and didn't give credit 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.599 to these young wide receivers. These guys were thrust into 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.560 the lime night limelight on national TV. The leader goes 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.000 down to the group and now Sean Jeffrey. So now 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.680 these guys are going to be relied upon even more 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.320 and they needed to step up and make big plays. 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.920 Arthega Whiteside with a great over the shoulder catch on 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.800 the sideline on that key drive to help tie his 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.240 game up. Greg warred with some big catches, some nice 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.680 runs after the catch where he was able to get 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.920 that yards after the catchyardage. I just thought these young 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.200 guys stepped up, and I mentioned Josh Perkins already, he's 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.560 another guy they had to step up tonight and was 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.960 called upon to make some big catches and came through. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.760 And how about our gout Boston Scott, I mean, Boston 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.360 Scott was some nice tough running there to help tu 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.520 to score up seventeen. Or wasn't it get the Eagles 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.960 first touchdown on the board. Yeah, get the first touchdown 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.360 on the Eagles on the board. All right, And with 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.240 that we have Davi Spernaro standing by from Lincoln Financial. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.800 Dave a gritty, grinded out win in overtime for the 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.720 Eagles here. Why didn't you see from the players on 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.920 the sideline in terms of the emotion to be able 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.120 to overcome so many things that went wrong to be 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.000 able to get a win tonight. Yeah, I mean a 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.960 tremendous amount of emotion, both negative and positive. I mean 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.440 the Eagles, as you said, got booted off the field. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.720 It was loud, it was lusty, It was deserved, and 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.320 the players were none too pleased with that reaction from 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.320 the fans, although they know they deserved it. Now to 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.960 get this thing going in the second half, the defense, 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.160 which gave up big plays in that first half, stepped up, 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.000 put some pressure on Eli Manning and really limited what 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.440 the Giants did down the field, and the offense just 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.920 kept coming, kept coming. I love the contribution from Boston Scott, 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.720 who just changed the tempo of the offense. You could 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.040 feel it down here at field level. The way he 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.240 was just a little bit quicker than Miles Sanders two 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.160 and through the hole they got him involved in the 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.160 screen game. He really ran with rocket fuel in his 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.800 cleats tonight might cause my cleats. And he certainly played 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.200 extremely well on the Eagles. I mean, this is not 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.160 probably in the category per se of miracle victory against 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.600 the Giants, but I don't see any reason why it 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.840 can't be classified in that tier just below, because to 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.040 come back from seventeen to three in a dead stadium 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:38.360 and Lincoln Financial Field was dead, the sideline was dead. 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.920 Players were walking off the field, Jalen Mills among them. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:43.360 You guys didn't I don't know if you mentioned him 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.600 earlier before I got on. But and then to turn 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.480 it around like the way the Eagles did. All this 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.960 is what we wanted to see from Carson Wentz. A 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.920 second half comeback, a fourth quarter comeback, and overtime drive 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.280 down the field to get the ball in the end zone. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.679 This is the kind of game that even though you 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.880 might not have Lane Johnson, you might not have Alshan 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.360 Jeffrey the rest of the way. Who knows. You've really 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.160 used this game as a spark plug, because I'm telling 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.400 you the feeling here that this game was dead in 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:16.640 the building. Yeah, and I was over there, Dave, and 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.520 you could almost hear a pin drop aware in that 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.120 stadium in the first half. Really a tale of two halves. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.280 You talked about Carson and the performance he had. He 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:28.280 doesn't have that performance, Dave, without these young receivers stepping up. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.760 Just talking a little bit about these young guys really 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.240 being thrust in a position of where they needed to 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.320 come up big in order for them to pull his 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.640 game out. Yeah, and you know, this is such a 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.440 game of how you feel about yourself, the level of 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.880 confidence that you have. We've been waiting for JJ to 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.680 have that signature game, that breakout game, and it battled it. 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.680 He wasn't getting playing time. How to drop it at 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.839 the end of the Detroit game. You know, these are 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.160 the kinds of games that lift young players. Boston Scott 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.720 now knows without a doubt he can play at a 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.200 very high level in the NFL. Joshua Perkins move moving 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:04.040 around the formation, getting open, creating some space. Still, the 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.640 staples exist in this offense with zach Ertz and with 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.200 Dallas Goddard. But the Eagles and Greg Ward, who had 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.000 the chance to put the ball in the end zone, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.600 didn't do it. Came right back with the catch, a 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.720 tough grab in traffic in the red zone, broke a tackle, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.600 got the ball down to the two yard line, set 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.960 the Eagles up for the tying touchdown. These are the 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.800 kinds of games, These are the kinds of plays that 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.560 young players use to really take their games to the 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.360 next level. Because the Eagles a short week here going 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.320 into Washington, they're gonna need all of them. The Eagles 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.559 stretched their roster about as far as you can go 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.280 in this game tonight, using vitalet right tackle. I mean, 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.559 they were down Russell Douglas. How about this one. Sidney 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.560 Jones comes in for his only play of the game, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.920 I think, on defense and gets a key stop pass 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.559 defense on third down late in the fourth quarter. I mean, 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.560 that's the kid who's been sent to the very bottom 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.920 of the depth chart, and yet when he was needed, 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.000 he stepped up and got to stop. You know, Dave 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.199 we've talked about the quarterback, We've talked about some of 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.360 these young guys have stepped up. One guy we haven't 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.400 talked at about yet on the show is zach Ertz. 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.360 You know, he put a lot on himself last week 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.800 eight days ago with you know how that game ended 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.880 down in Miami. He had a couple of critical drops. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.439 He comes back, he leaves the team into receiving nine 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.920 catches ninety one yards scores the final two touchdowns, has 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.200 the two catches in the first half that helped propel 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.840 the team into field goal range for their only points 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.920 of the first half. Talk about what you saw from 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.080 zach Ertz, and you know the energy from him coming 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.120 off the field as well. Yeah, and fran against a 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.640 defense that does not give up much to tight ends. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.760 I mean, throughout the season they've been torched on the 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.440 outside with their young cornerbacks, but they've been doing a 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.360 pretty good job for the most part against tight ends. 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.720 The Eagles found a way to scheme to get Zach open, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.760 create a little bit of space on the inside. He 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.080 caught the ball very well, caught the ball in traffic 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.640 and really a good comeback game for zach Erz, who 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:01.160 did feel the weight of his performance in Miami, very 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.959 unhappy with himself throughout the week, and in fact, wouldn't 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.679 really go out in public very much. I think he 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.280 had one appearance that he went out later in the week, 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.320 but you know, throughout Wednesday did not want to go 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.800 out because he was so down on himself. He took 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.160 it so hard the loss in Miami and his feelings 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.520 that he was responsible for the defeat. Well, he certainly 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.320 stepped up his game tonight and played a Pro Bowl 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.960 level game. Was terrific. Knowing but the Giants obviously know 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:28.600 that the ball is going to go to Zach and 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.720 to Dallas Goddard, and yet those two really contributed a lot. 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.520 All Right, Dave, I'm expecting some good vibes in that 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.320 locker room today. Will be catching up with you a 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.599 little bit later with that coverage as well, and we 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.360 thank you so much for your insights. All right, Thanks 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.800 so much, guys. Okay, I love hearing what it's like 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.120 at these games, especially a game like today. Really good 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.679 points raised there by, Dave. I want to talk about 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.959 some of the guys who caught passes tonight from Carson 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.120 wentz ERT's the leading receiver there with nine catches. Boston 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.400 Scott the second leading receiver with six, followed by Dallas 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.079 Goddard Josh Perkins with five catches on five targets. That's 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.280 pretty good percentage there. Greg Ward had four catches, Arthega 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.520 Whiteside two, Miles Sanders, I guess also had four, so 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.679 I guess it's out of order on here. And then 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.280 all Sean targeted twice without a catch there, So that's 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.200 kind of not necessarily usually the order you're used to seeing. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.760 What can we say about this Eagles offense where Carson 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.160 was able to spread the ball around just so many 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.120 guys who had not been big contributors. I mean, I 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.560 think Dave nailed when you say it's a confidence builder 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.360 for a lot of young guys. Yeah, And you know, 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.000 I think it's one of those things where when you 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.720 look at this offense, you know they have to mix 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.400 and match. It's almost like you have to make it 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:33.920 up as you go. And that's obviously not what the 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.079 coaches have to do. But with what you're doing and 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.679 cycling guys in and out, you just you have to 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.439 just keep going. And I don't know, we've talked about this. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.199 We talked about last year with the injuries of this 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.480 team faced on both sides, and you know what it 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.480 takes to have guys that you know, weren't playing football 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.680 or just came up off the practice squad. Boston Scott, 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.080 Josh Perkins, Greg Ward, all these guys there were three 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.800 in the top five receivers in this game. We're on 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.520 the practice squad to start the season or not on 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.719 the roster to start the season. What it takes for 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.559 those guys to come in and become playmakers when you 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.000 need it most. Yeah, that's why you know, I was 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.840 that much more impressed with what Carson was able to 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.199 do tonight because really he's in an offense where, other 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.920 than Zach Ertz, he doesn't have a reliable security blanket, 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.560 so you know, and would not much practice with these guys. 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.360 He basically is filling his way through this thing with 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.680 these receivers because there's not a lot of experience a 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.680 plane with each other out there. So for a quarterback 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.800 and receiver who typically has great chemistry, has a lot 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.200 of repetition together, so you can get a feel for 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.640 where that guy likes the ball placed where, and both 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.720 guys have that feel. As a quarterback in the wide receiver. 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.840 There's no way Carson could be absolutely comfortable throwing the 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.400 ball out there. He just has to trust that those 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.520 guys are gonna be where they're supposed to be at 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.760 and just let it go. He saw a couple times 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.800 he had to hold on to it, but I give 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.800 him a lot of credit and those guys because for 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.160 the most part they were worthless. We're supposed to be. Then, 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.000 I like the fact that there were some plays where 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.600 Carson had to extend plays with his legs and he 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.480 allowed these guys to get open. Right, So when he's 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.000 able to extend plays, these guys can break free from coverage. Well, 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.280 especially that when we saw with Zack Arts, don't worry, 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.160 Carson extend to play and Arts was able to run, run, run, run, run, 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.360 get open make that catch and that was a big catch. 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.520 So yes, we've talked a lot about Greg Ward, Boston 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.040 Scott Tonight, two younger Eagles who had some really good games. 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.600 They both spoke with Dave Spernaro after the game. So 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.760 let's check out those interviews. All right, Welcome down to 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.920 the field. Eagles insider Dave Spernarow with wide receiver Greg Ward, 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.480 one of the heroes. If this remarkable Eagles victory tonight 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.040 against the New York Giants, Greg, how did this thing 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.600 turn around? We all so are man. We went in 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.240 the locker room, we talked, we got everything together. Man, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.880 we can't out here, and we played together mindset in 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:53.080 the huddle in that last quarter. We gotta get it. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.120 That's it. We gotta get it. We all believe in 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.520 each other. We may plays, man, So which is why not? Then? 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.080 Did it the way everything work? Greg? Did you feel 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:02.960 like whatever you called you were gonna find a way 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.200 to get something done here? For sure? It didn't matter 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.520 what it was. It didn't matter what it was, Man, 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.040 We're gonna make it work. Well. Thank you, Greig gotting. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.040 Now we've got Boston Scott Eagles running back. Big contribution 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.760 from you tonight, Boston, great game. How to feel out there? Man, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.520 I'm just happy to be able to help out my team. Man, 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.360 We've been going through a lot of adversity all year, 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.800 but we pushed through. Man, we overcome. We stayed close 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.280 in that locker room, and Man, I got a lot 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:30.800 of respect for the guys in that room. Man. A 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:35.840 leadership starting with coach Doug pe Man We appreciate you'all 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.240 as fans too for sticking with us. Man, We're gonna 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.680 get this thing rolling. Boston Scott Eagles running back, great contribution. 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:46.720 More from the field coming up in just a few moments. Okay, Frand, 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.200 I know you usually break down the film, but I'm 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.440 gonna break down that film really fast because a couple 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.040 of big things stood out to me. One love the 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.520 chemistry between those guys. I love when a guy jumps 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.280 in on another guy's interview with some positivity. Two A 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.840 plus journalism sidelined reporting move there for Dave Spannaro to 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.280 hang on to that guy and get two interviews for 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:07.680 the price of one. Dave, I gotta get holding penalty thrown. Yeah, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:11.400 I gotta play. That is some sideline reporting elite challenge 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.480 right there. Let's talk a little bit about Greg Ward, 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.199 a guy who has been around this program for a 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.600 long time but on the practice squad, who has been 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:19.280 you know, just kind of in the in this Eagles 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.480 program for a long time and is now really getting 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.800 some chances and it's slowly slowly starting to carve out 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.680 a place for himself in this offense. Can talk about 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.320 his development a little bit, really I mean ever since 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.840 he's been here, guys, you've always kind of heard that 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.600 in the building. Was man, you know, every day of practice, 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.680 Oh greg Ward made a play. Oh he made another play. 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:38.159 Oh he did you know, he had another great day 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.640 against these guys in practice. But it was just practice, 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.720 and you knew quarterback making the transition to wide receiver 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.000 it was going to take time. It's not just as 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.040 simple as can he catch the ball and can he 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.000 make a play. He's got to learn routes, he's got 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.520 to no assignments. He's got to know what he's got 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.600 to do in the run game where he's gonna line up. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.439 So when he's now gotten his opportunity, he's not this 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.200 outstanding game breaker that's going to take the top off 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.760 the defense, you know, change the game that way. But 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.440 he's been a pretty reliable possession threat in the middle 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.120 of the field where they've needed that over the course 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.040 of this season. At this point now where they are 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.639 the guy like greg Ward helps them now, there are 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.320 still ways that they've got to go, ways that they've 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.760 got to improve. He did have some other biscues tonight, 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:17.760 but I think when you look at a young guy 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:19.480 that you're going to try and build around. He's a 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:20.960 guy that you can see, you could see, Okay, he 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.760 could be in the future plans. Yeah, continues to show 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.040 that development. Like you said, why don't we get to 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.399 your takeaways? Like, what's the first one? Well, the first 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.119 thing I the team came out flat tonight. You know, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.639 for a game that was as important as this one was. 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.520 To play the first half the way that they did 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.840 that was a little disheartening, but they were able to 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.840 fight back. But that's the first thing that I took 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.879 away from the game is that they didn't hit the 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.159
