Speaker 1: And Hello Eagles fans, Welcome to the postgame show presented
Speaker 1: by Rico. I'm Chris McPherson alongside former Eagles linebacker and
Speaker 1: the better half of the Mike and Ike Show on
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety four w ip Ike Reese. What a fun,
Speaker 1: festive afternoon in South Philadelphia. The Eagles beaten the Colts
Speaker 1: up and down the field with a thirty six to
Speaker 1: ten victory to open the preseason. And Ike, certainly you're
Speaker 1: happy about the victory, but it's more about the individual
Speaker 1: accomplishments and the fact that it looks like from banish
Speaker 1: point that no one got hurt. Well, that's the most
Speaker 1: important thing, Chris. When you're talking about preseason games, the
Speaker 1: number one objective is is to get come out of
Speaker 1: the game with everybody you started the game with. And
Speaker 1: he was have been able to do that through their
Speaker 1: first preseason game. And then you look at individual performances,
Speaker 1: how did the first team do when they were in
Speaker 1: there doing their short time, But most importantly evaluating the
Speaker 1: backup players, the depth, because it's going to be critical
Speaker 1: for any team the plans on playing late in January.
Speaker 1: You must have quality guys behind your starters because eventually
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose a guy. And I think some young
Speaker 1: guys stepped up today. I was encouraged by some of
Speaker 1: the young players that hadn't really shown flashes. There's several
Speaker 1: young guys that I think played very well today. I
Speaker 1: think we can delve into some of those guys were
Speaker 1: off the bat here look at Nelson aglar first preseason catch.
Speaker 1: Extends his arms over his head to get the highly
Speaker 1: thrown ball by Mark Sanchez, makes a nice old spin
Speaker 1: move on the cornerback Greg Toler and takes a thirty
Speaker 1: four yards for the touchdown. He has been in throughout
Speaker 1: training camp. I thought it was great to see him
Speaker 1: get off to such a great start here for the Eagles. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Happy for all the fans who haven't had a chance
Speaker 1: to see Nelson Aguilar in person, the ones who came
Speaker 1: out to the game today. You see why he was
Speaker 1: the first round draft pick. I mean, the guy has talent.
Speaker 1: He has the ability to run after the catch. That's
Speaker 1: the biggest thing I liked about him is that his
Speaker 1: ability to get the yards after the catch. They call
Speaker 1: that yak Chris, and he got plenty of this kid.
Speaker 1: This kid throughout the course of his career is gonna
Speaker 1: rack up a lot of yards after the catch because
Speaker 1: he's looking to make plays, extend plays with his legs
Speaker 1: once he once he catches the football, Like he said,
Speaker 1: a couple of hot throws to day he was able
Speaker 1: to pull in. It was his first game. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's one or two plays that once he looks at
Speaker 1: the films, he'll say he wishes he could have back.
Speaker 1: But I think for a introduction in the Midnight Grain
Speaker 1: for everyone, I would give Nelson Nelson Aguilar high marks
Speaker 1: for his debut, no question about Now. How about the
Speaker 1: second round pick, Eric, I think that he's pressing to
Speaker 1: push Nold Carroll for that starting job at the other
Speaker 1: cornerback spot opposite of Byron Maxwell. But you saw him
Speaker 1: not just on the outside. He moved inside, which is
Speaker 1: very tough for a rookie to do, especially one who
Speaker 1: has not played that much cornerback in his career. He
Speaker 1: only played his final year at Utah corner. Before that,
Speaker 1: he was a seat for three seasons. And we see
Speaker 1: the big play that he made. He got beat on
Speaker 1: the pass play, but he comes up from behind, makes
Speaker 1: a great hustle play to strip the ball from Colt's
Speaker 1: first round pick, Philip Dorset and Chris Pasinski was there
Speaker 1: with the fumble recovery. Yeah, I love everything about that play,
Speaker 1: and starting with the fact he was beat playing the
Speaker 1: slot position because that's not an easy position to play.
Speaker 1: But guess what, he continued to hustle after the play.
Speaker 1: He did not give up on a play. And we
Speaker 1: call that move that he made to force that fumble
Speaker 1: the peanut tilmid punch. When you come up from behind
Speaker 1: the officer guy and you punched that ball out. That
Speaker 1: was no accident by Eric Rowe. That was a deliberate move.
Speaker 1: He forced the fumble, got the ball back, force team
Speaker 1: and that's what they're gonna love about this kid is
Speaker 1: his effort on every play and his willingness to be
Speaker 1: around the football. Had a couple of tip balls as
Speaker 1: well today, So if nothing else, he's around the football
Speaker 1: making plays. I think the future is bright for Eric Row. Again,
Speaker 1: just his first game. First game is not gonna be perfect.
Speaker 1: It's almost better when you have bad things happen until
Speaker 1: you in the first game because that keeps you humble
Speaker 1: and that keeps you focused. So I thought Eric Row
Speaker 1: and Nelson Aguilar way more positives than negatives to day,
Speaker 1: but just enough negatives in there to keep him humbled
Speaker 1: and keep them working getting ready for that next preseason game. Well,
Speaker 1: do you recall Jordan matthews first game last year, where
Speaker 1: did you have like four drops those lines? In fact?
Speaker 1: Wide receivers. Coach Bob mcnell joked that he was going
Speaker 1: to show the rookies in his room to tape from
Speaker 1: that game to say, look, it's not all gonna be
Speaker 1: pieces and cream. The fact of the matter, You're gonna
Speaker 1: have some setbacks. And for Matthews it was probably the
Speaker 1: best thing for him because everything up to that point
Speaker 1: in his first train camp had been so positive that
Speaker 1: he needed that little bit of setback. He needed that
Speaker 1: little bit of humbling to be able to bring him
Speaker 1: down just a notch, and obviously it paid off down
Speaker 1: the line, as he had arguably the second best rookie
Speaker 1: season of any wide receiver in Eagles history. ARC Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Nelson Aguilar is going to have
Speaker 1: that same sort of learning curve along with Eric. Now,
Speaker 1: Eric Roll is playing a difficult position. To play cornerback
Speaker 1: as a rookie in this league is very hard and
Speaker 1: not alone plan a slot corner, where you have so
Speaker 1: much more you have to concern yourself with. So he's
Speaker 1: up to the task. He's played in multiple positions coming
Speaker 1: out of Utah's the reason why they drafted him in
Speaker 1: the second round. He's an eager learner. More importantly, there's
Speaker 1: enough veterans in place that he's going to be able
Speaker 1: to soak up knowledge from so that he's able to
Speaker 1: contribute at some point. I'm excited about Eric Roll as
Speaker 1: a player. I really am, Like so many things would
Speaker 1: be excited about. Now, let's talk about this defense for
Speaker 1: a second, especially the first team unit. So many change
Speaker 1: that linebacker, so many changes in the defensive back, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you look at the defensive line
Speaker 1: and they were outstanding against the run once again, something
Speaker 1: that they had been in the past. Well, it was
Speaker 1: prevalent once again on the Sunday afternoon Benny Logan. I
Speaker 1: thought it was an absolute monster in the middle of
Speaker 1: the field. Fletcher Cox, Cedric Thornton, third, normal cells. But
Speaker 1: I thought Logan came out with a purpose and really
Speaker 1: was strong against the run, against the rushing attack of
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. For the brief time that he was
Speaker 1: in there. I absolutely agreed a couple of series that
Speaker 1: that first yearner was out there, that D line set
Speaker 1: the tempo and the tone for the way that this
Speaker 1: defense was gonna play today. Gave out one hundred yards
Speaker 1: rushing to one running back last year. That's Frank Gore
Speaker 1: did not give up a hundred yards rushing to a
Speaker 1: single running back all of last year. One of the
Speaker 1: best run stuffing defenses in the league. That's picked up
Speaker 1: in the first game, and it starts with those big
Speaker 1: boys upfront. I thought Benny Logan, Fletcher Cox said, Thornton
Speaker 1: came out and set the tone. Allowed those young linebackers
Speaker 1: because you gotta remember we didn't have Michael Kendricks or
Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's in there today. You had young guys out
Speaker 1: there for the most part, and it allowed those young
Speaker 1: guys to play fast. Our line, our D line, is
Speaker 1: going to really be the tone set of for our
Speaker 1: defense every week. They're certainly gonna need it to with
Speaker 1: all the changes there in the back two levels of
Speaker 1: the defense. The Eagles coming out on top thirty six
Speaker 1: to ten over the Indianapolis Colts, we are going to
Speaker 1: hear from head coach Chip Kelly. We will bring you
Speaker 1: his life press conference in just a little bit, and
Speaker 1: also the sideline reporter for the Eagles Network telecast that
Speaker 1: most of you just watched, Dave Spidero. He's gonna give
Speaker 1: us a live look at exactly what he saw from
Speaker 1: his unique badge point in just a little bit here
Speaker 1: on the show as well. But you talked about the
Speaker 1: first team units, let's look at the offense. Mark sanchez
Speaker 1: accuracy a little off today, but the receivers more than
Speaker 1: made up for it in my estimation. Yeah, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. And that's why it's a combination. It's a tandem.
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes the quarterback is gonna put nice softballs
Speaker 1: out there for wide receivers to catch and he'll make
Speaker 1: them look good. But what's often going to happen because
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have defensive linemen in their face, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: underdurest at times. You aren't going to get a perfect
Speaker 1: pass as a wide receiver, and the wide receiver is
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and make an exceptional play to
Speaker 1: help his quarterback out. Now, I thought early in the game,
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez a little amped up, maybe a little excited
Speaker 1: first game action, real live action. So he missed a
Speaker 1: couple easy throws. But I also like the way he
Speaker 1: settled down on the second series, came back and was
Speaker 1: able to make those same exact throws and connect with them.
Speaker 1: So the great thing about watching that first unit out
Speaker 1: there is the design of the offense. You saw that
Speaker 1: there were wide open receivers running and the quarterbacks more
Speaker 1: often than not in this offense will hit those guys. Now, Like,
Speaker 1: how much would you not want to have to face
Speaker 1: a running back like Ryan Matthews. He would just runs
Speaker 1: with such violence, with such anger there out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: Well you know what I mean. Big running backs, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, are often the best ones to face. Just
Speaker 1: those little shifty guys like Darren spros that are hard
Speaker 1: to like corral and tackle. But a guy like Ryan Matthews,
Speaker 1: who has good speed and good size, he's a guy
Speaker 1: that's gonna be he wanted to. He'll make you think
Speaker 1: when you come up to tackle, you know, is he
Speaker 1: gonna hit me with a joke? More, where is he
Speaker 1: gonna try to run me over? And next thing you know,
Speaker 1: you're embarrassed as a defender. I like what he looked
Speaker 1: like in his limited action early in the game. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a big part of the offense.
Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line did a good job, particularly
Speaker 1: Jason Peters in the time that he was in there
Speaker 1: opening up holes for those running backs. Ken Yan Barnard
Speaker 1: looked well too, running the ball out the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Andrew Gardner got the start there at right guard, so
Speaker 1: that was the one piece I think everyone been waiting
Speaker 1: to see is who's gonna win that right guard battle,
Speaker 1: And it seems like from the snaps away they were divided.
Speaker 1: Today It's either gonna be Andrew Garner or John Moffatt,
Speaker 1: who took most of the reps once Gardner came out
Speaker 1: of the game. So now let's send it to Lincoln
Speaker 1: Financial Field, where Eagles Network sideline reporter and insider Dave
Speaker 1: Spadaro brings you his thoughts under Eagles big win. Well,
Speaker 1: it was almost a perfect day for the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: thirty six to ten. They did so many things right.
Speaker 1: The offense moved the football four hundred yards game, the
Speaker 1: quarterbacks doing a great job, Sanchez leading the way for
Speaker 1: a touchdown, Tim Tebow coming in at the end, and
Speaker 1: between those two, Matt Barkley did a really good job
Speaker 1: throughout the first half, so from an offensive standpoint, solid,
Speaker 1: the offensive line did an outstanding job. The running game
Speaker 1: was strong. Ryan Matthews early on showed his power between
Speaker 1: the tackles and the wide receivers, showing how deep they
Speaker 1: are house talented that they can be on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball early start, a little struggle early early,
Speaker 1: but for the most part in an outstanding effort. Four takeaways,
Speaker 1: Ed Reynolds a remarkable fourth quarter to stake his claim
Speaker 1: for a job on the fifty three man roster. And
Speaker 1: the pass rush just terrific. We expected that upfront from
Speaker 1: a really good group. The run defense just terrific. Special teams,
Speaker 1: I guess Cody Parkey the only blemish here with miss
Speaker 1: pat and the miss field goal opportunity, but he still
Speaker 1: had three field goals of more than forty yards. And
Speaker 1: of course Kenyon Barner, what can you say about his
Speaker 1: performance a ninety two yard punt return as well rushing
Speaker 1: touchdown and most important of course, guys, they come out
Speaker 1: of this game with no injuries, so I can tell
Speaker 1: you the enthusiasm on the sideline was infectious. This is
Speaker 1: the kind of way to start the preseason that gives
Speaker 1: you great energy and enthusiasm and build team camaraderie with
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens coming to town for some joint practices,
Speaker 1: and then next Saturday right here Lincoln Financial Field, the
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Eagles preseason game number two. I still
Speaker 1: say Barkley's ahead of Tebow. I still say that at
Speaker 1: right guard it is Andrew Gardner's job to lose, although
Speaker 1: John Moffatt playing well in his time on the field.
Speaker 1: Back to you at the Novacare Complex, Dave, great stuff,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much there for the insight. So Eagles
Speaker 1: winners thirty six to ten over the Indianapolis Colts. They
Speaker 1: get off the great start to the preseason. We're waiting
Speaker 1: to hear from head coach Chip Kelly, who should be
Speaker 1: addressing the media any moment now. But we also got
Speaker 1: to see a couple other quarterbacks, one Matt Barkley and
Speaker 1: of course Tim Tebow. I thought Matt Barkley came out great.
Speaker 1: I mean, listen those those first couple of passes he
Speaker 1: through the one to Jordan Matthews. This first pass, Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews had coverage underneath and coverage over top. That was
Speaker 1: not a big window. That was a very tiny window
Speaker 1: there to get that ball in there. And I thought
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley threw a very good catchable ball to Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews coming across the middle, and then he was able
Speaker 1: to hit Miles Austin deep down the left hand sideline.
Speaker 1: Miles Austin, the veteran whom he hadn't heard a whole
Speaker 1: lot about during training. Cat. But you're throwing the ball
Speaker 1: his first opportunity, he goes up and he makes a play.
Speaker 1: So I thought the quarterbacks looked well for the most
Speaker 1: part in this offense, and when obviously when Tim came in,
Speaker 1: the offense was a little more choppy at times. But
Speaker 1: here's what I'll say, Tim Tebow is gonna flourish when
Speaker 1: you put him in advantageous situations. Third and fifteen, second
Speaker 1: and twenty, third and twenty. That's not Tim Tebow. That's
Speaker 1: that's It's gonna be more difficult for Tebow to make
Speaker 1: plays when he's facing that type of down and distance.
Speaker 1: But you're give him second and five, you give him
Speaker 1: third and four, third and eight, something that's manageable. I
Speaker 1: believe Tim Tebow can move to football, just like he
Speaker 1: showed us. At times, it's difficult for any quarterback to
Speaker 1: pick up second and fifteen, third and twenty when you
Speaker 1: get behind scheduleist Chip likes to say by getting penalties
Speaker 1: on first and second down or having negative plays. I
Speaker 1: thought all three quarterbacks giving their chances to make place,
Speaker 1: they made plays for the most part. Yes. Indeed, the
Speaker 1: thing about Matt Barkley is he was the quarterback in
Speaker 1: this offense who had the most experience, So you expected
Speaker 1: him to look the sharpest, the crispest, and it seemed
Speaker 1: like that. He makes the read, he gets rid of
Speaker 1: the football, he knows where he's going with it, he's decisive,
Speaker 1: just gets the ball in out very quickly or tebow.
Speaker 1: He's so probably learning the ins and outs of this offense.
Speaker 1: He's at the point where he doesn't have that first read.
Speaker 1: All right, it's not there. What am I doing with
Speaker 1: the football? Do I pull down? Or am I trying
Speaker 1: to find the second or third read in the progression?
Speaker 1: So I think what we're doing right now is now
Speaker 1: send it over to Lincoln Financial Field head coach Chip Kelly,
Speaker 1: addressing the media following the Eagles victory, bag, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: just we knew we were gonna go out try work
Speaker 1: him out. A little bit pre game and then get
Speaker 1: ready to go play the raven. So a couple of
Speaker 1: guys we kept out like that, he's still your calling
Speaker 1: them already. Now he's fine, should be going on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: I should be the same for holding Bradford bag that
Speaker 1: you know, you're a gun. You're right whatever you want.
Speaker 1: I really don't care what you guys right to be
Speaker 1: honest with you because I said I held him back.
Speaker 1: I just answered that question. So a lot of guys
Speaker 1: showed up, a lot of first year guys. Thick set
Speaker 1: a nice block on the front retirement. Can you just
Speaker 1: talk about the contribution you might see from the you know,
Speaker 1: the rookies this year. The previous two years didn't see
Speaker 1: a whole lot from a lot of guys. You know,
Speaker 1: the one thing you don't know about any of those
Speaker 1: guys or what are they gonna be like when until
Speaker 1: you get him into a game. And that's the encouraging thing.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the guys stand out in practice, um that's been history,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you get into a
Speaker 1: game and they're not the same player. And then other
Speaker 1: guys that weren't so good standing out practice stand out
Speaker 1: in the game. But I you know, just from before
Speaker 1: you get a chance to look at the film. Some
Speaker 1: of those guys I thought, really step up and made
Speaker 1: some players. Eric Row had a big fumble cause on
Speaker 1: one of those receptions on the crossing, Now came in
Speaker 1: from behind, did a great job of stripping them. So
Speaker 1: um Nelson made you know, obviously a big catch on
Speaker 1: our bench and on their bench and you know, turn
Speaker 1: it into a touchdown and we had another catch. Um
Speaker 1: you know, so we're excited about those guys. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: just one step for us. But we feel like we've
Speaker 1: got a lot of really good film to teach off of,
Speaker 1: you know, officials, legitimate down and distance, all those things,
Speaker 1: a lot of good situations that we can Uh, we
Speaker 1: can get a meeting room with those guys when they
Speaker 1: come back on Tuesday and and and really start to grow.
Speaker 1: This team would have the starting secondary. I mean, they
Speaker 1: give up. It's everything it's not. And again it's not
Speaker 1: just a secondary, it's what type of rush should we have.
Speaker 1: You know, did we generate Russia on on them on
Speaker 1: those plays. There's a lot of different combinations when it
Speaker 1: comes to past defense. But we'll look at everything. You
Speaker 1: really look like the ball pretty quickly. Matt. Yeah, tim
Speaker 1: you know ran for a touchdoame yah? Is there one
Speaker 1: particular set of skills that you know they got to
Speaker 1: be able to do it all? But you also have
Speaker 1: to look at who's in with who, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I think there's a different set of receivers
Speaker 1: that we're in where Matt than than when Timmy used
Speaker 1: than Timmy had and then you know, really a different
Speaker 1: line at times. So there's you know, you gotta have
Speaker 1: to take some of that into There's a couple of
Speaker 1: those where Timmy held the ball and it looks like
Speaker 1: why is he doing that? Well, the receiver in the
Speaker 1: wrong route. You know, he's looking for a receiver to
Speaker 1: run a shalla across. We didn't get any show across,
Speaker 1: so you know, we don't we don't get that a
Speaker 1: lot in training sessions where if the receiver doesn't run
Speaker 1: the right route, and now what do we do. So
Speaker 1: there were a couple of bus out there. We have
Speaker 1: some young receivers that we think are going to be good,
Speaker 1: but we three of those guys just got here about
Speaker 1: a week ago. So there were a couple of mental mistakes.
Speaker 1: Um whether it was up front or at the receiver's plot.
Speaker 1: Who thought I thought he did a real nice job.
Speaker 1: You know, we screwed up a little bit on that
Speaker 1: one naked where it ended up getting tipped, But that
Speaker 1: guy should have been blocked. You know, our tight end
Speaker 1: was lined up too tight. We should have had a
Speaker 1: pin block on him and got him to the corner
Speaker 1: and given him an opportunity to throw it. But I thought,
Speaker 1: I thought he did a really nice job out there. Uh,
Speaker 1: hit a couple of high throws. You know, I think
Speaker 1: he's got to get his feet set a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I thought we played with a good empo um.
Speaker 1: You know, as a group, we were all on the
Speaker 1: same page. You know, guys were clicking and guys were hitting.
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm sure he'd want to a couple of
Speaker 1: those throws back just because they were a little high. Now,
Speaker 1: I did not talk with Cody during a guy. I
Speaker 1: just talked to Flipper, and now I would I will
Speaker 1: see the film and get us traightened out, you know,
Speaker 1: playing a different player this year, we could do this,
Speaker 1: uh birthday. You know, he's a year older. I think
Speaker 1: it's it's not all new for him. I think he's
Speaker 1: you know, been there, done that, This isn't This isn't
Speaker 1: his first preseason game, this isn't his first training camp.
Speaker 1: I just think there's a you know, there's a kind
Speaker 1: of a common sense around him. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's got a better grasp. But what we're trying
Speaker 1: to do um and he's really showed up in our
Speaker 1: training sessions and he showed up today, So we're encouraged
Speaker 1: with his growth day suppressive. I just think there's just
Speaker 1: a different he's carrying himself in a different manner. You know,
Speaker 1: he was excited about going out and playing in the
Speaker 1: football game today, So you know, we're excited to see
Speaker 1: where this goes, bringing in some competition for It's not
Speaker 1: why now we're not. I mean, he was an All
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl kicker last year. He missed in his first
Speaker 1: exhibition game. He missed an extra point in a field goal,
Speaker 1: so he hit three from forty two. So I wouldn't
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put the panic button right now, so miss
Speaker 1: a couple of is he battling anything mentally right now?
Speaker 1: He made a mistake in practice. I mean, let's not
Speaker 1: go crazy. Now, he's pretty good kicker, so hey, he's
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl. I've seen Pro bowlers miss kicks. I've
Speaker 1: seen Adam. Adam's a Hall of Fame kicker. I've seen
Speaker 1: him miss kicks before too, So let's let's just not
Speaker 1: hit the panic button on coded right now when we're
Speaker 1: the first preseason games down. You great catch and a
Speaker 1: great run after? Is that when you've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of Dori camp, Yeah, I mean the one thing with
Speaker 1: Nelson when he gets the ball in his hands, he's
Speaker 1: real explosive, you know, so you're you're you're anticipating run
Speaker 1: after the catch with him, and that's what, um, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the things we knew about him because you
Speaker 1: could see it when you watch him playing college. He
Speaker 1: did that a ton in college. He was also a
Speaker 1: great returner in college, so you can see him when
Speaker 1: he has the ball in his hands. He's a he's
Speaker 1: a dynamic player. And I think what you saw today
Speaker 1: is kind of what one of one of the reasons
Speaker 1: we drafted him. So h the first team friends when
Speaker 1: they were out there against you just a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't put way too much into it.
Speaker 1: You know, just how many series you know, Andrew came
Speaker 1: out I think actually in the middle of that second
Speaker 1: series and Matt came in, so, um, there's there's tape
Speaker 1: for us to coach off of, and that's really what
Speaker 1: we're looking at. But we're not you know, making any
Speaker 1: predictions or you know, any lofty goals in terms of
Speaker 1: coming out of this. It's just it's just one step.
Speaker 1: It's our first preseason game. Was a good opportunity to
Speaker 1: go against another team. You get the live tackle to
Speaker 1: the ground. Um, we did miss a couple tackles on
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and we need to
Speaker 1: clean that up. You know, that one touchdown run, we
Speaker 1: should have had the back down, you know on the
Speaker 1: on the long third down that they ran in for
Speaker 1: the touchdown. But um, you know that's those are things
Speaker 1: that um, you know, Corey and the other coaches will
Speaker 1: get a chance to get into film room with those
Speaker 1: guys and and coach him up off of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was Yeah, what about this progress? I thought I
Speaker 1: thought he showed up today. You know, he showed up.
Speaker 1: Not only there's two interceptions, had a big kick on
Speaker 1: the big tackle on the kickoff return. After that late
Speaker 1: in the game, I think he's he's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's pushing to to to make the
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster, and I'm happy for it right now.
Speaker 1: I think he's, you know, part of it. The big
Speaker 1: We put a big emphasis and how you playing the game?
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just our training sessions, is how
Speaker 1: do you play when it's live, full go and let's go.
Speaker 1: And I thought that did a nice job and put
Speaker 1: him put himself in a pretty good situation coming out
Speaker 1: of game one. So we'll see how he grows from
Speaker 1: the spot he's obviously for gredit it would be important
Speaker 1: one if you have one of those seats, he's go
Speaker 1: down into the nickel. Um, how do you see that?
Speaker 1: I mean, woof, he hasn't playing and um, how do
Speaker 1: you see that? Side? Who's ever players are the guys
Speaker 1: we evaluate. So that's that's what the deal is. You know,
Speaker 1: we've got a deadline coming up when um, you know,
Speaker 1: right after that Packers game that we got to make
Speaker 1: our cuts, and then we got another deadline coming up
Speaker 1: immediately right after the Jets game. We've got to make
Speaker 1: our cuts. But it's got to be based on who's
Speaker 1: playing and who's out there and who's who's who's uh,
Speaker 1: who's putting on tape for us? So n Ed said,
Speaker 1: a really nice camp. You know, I think he's he's
Speaker 1: a lot like Marcus year two. You know, it's not
Speaker 1: all new for him. Um. He spent the entire offseason here.
Speaker 1: You know, it was here every day. Um, even when
Speaker 1: we weren't allowed to be with him until April twentieth,
Speaker 1: but he was in the building working on his own
Speaker 1: and I think it's showing right now. So receiver, I
Speaker 1: would do a couple of mistakes, you know, a couple
Speaker 1: of miss assignments in terms of routes. I thought Miles
Speaker 1: had a big Catchhair did nice job boding the receiver
Speaker 1: showing you you know, wiley veteran. A lot of guys
Speaker 1: maybe would have outrun the throw. Knew it was a
Speaker 1: little bit behind him, so slow down, let the defensive
Speaker 1: back kind of hang on his back, and then they
Speaker 1: made the catch over his shoulder. Jordan made a big
Speaker 1: catch coming across the middle, So you're happy with him.
Speaker 1: Nelson obviously was someone that kind of showed up today. So, um,
Speaker 1: I've been pleased with our receiver so far in camp.
Speaker 1: We did have a couple of drops today, though there's
Speaker 1: a few there, you know that we that we wish
Speaker 1: we kind of had in uh Nelson Dad to drop
Speaker 1: in front of our bench. I think Sprawlsy had a drop.
Speaker 1: We had a couple other thing. Trey May had a drop.
Speaker 1: So you know, a couple too many drops for us.
Speaker 1: But um, we'll get that corrected. Gardner and hearned him
Speaker 1: to start today. He's just rotated. It wasn't a separation.
Speaker 1: It was just I think that's who had in there
Speaker 1: for the last day or so, So, um, it could
Speaker 1: be a new We're gonna give all those guys an
Speaker 1: opportunity before we make a decision on what's going to
Speaker 1: go on there. In the beginning, there was I think
Speaker 1: it was an aggressiveness about your team. There was a
Speaker 1: sense of competition, energy, enthusiasm. We're did not all come
Speaker 1: from in this call game to death. We got a
Speaker 1: lot of depth there, and there's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: fighting for spots. So um, I think everybody's aware of that.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't really when like we're getting big
Speaker 1: rod Ross beach before we went out of the field,
Speaker 1: you know, but you're gonna we put a lot of
Speaker 1: emphasis because of how we train on what goes on
Speaker 1: when you get a chance to go in a game
Speaker 1: and it's live. You know, there's no excuses when you're
Speaker 1: playing in the game and you can't say, well, I
Speaker 1: would have had that guy, but you blew the whistle
Speaker 1: coach too quick, coach, or you know, I pulled off
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to have a big collision. It
Speaker 1: was you know, this is this is live, this is real,
Speaker 1: this is going. So I think our depth has really
Speaker 1: um giving us a sense of urgency at a lot
Speaker 1: of different positions. So um, we're excited to see that,
Speaker 1: and that's what that's what we wanted from from those
Speaker 1: guys today. Corner into the puzzle here, I have to
Speaker 1: perform this like Chris, but we if he continues to
Speaker 1: perform like that, we have to fit him in. So
Speaker 1: we'll you know, we're gonna find a way to keep
Speaker 1: the best fifty three players here. But you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's when you give you when you get an opportunity
Speaker 1: to do something, you step up and do it. So
Speaker 1: it's not a you know, well, if I had my chance,
Speaker 1: A lot of everybody gets their chance. A lot of
Speaker 1: guys played a lot of football today. So um, he
Speaker 1: continues to play like that, then he's gonna put himself
Speaker 1: in a mix last in the preseason and they got
Speaker 1: hurt him. You talking about the difference between him last
Speaker 1: year and this year the Sea, Well, I thought he
Speaker 1: did well in the preseason. We did get him late,
Speaker 1: and then he got hurt in that last preseason game,
Speaker 1: so you know, we really it was it wasn't a
Speaker 1: decision we could make in terms of keeping him on
Speaker 1: the fifty three. He was hurt, so we waved him injured.
Speaker 1: Then we had an opportunity after got healthy to bring
Speaker 1: him back and put him on a practice squad. So, um,
Speaker 1: I think he's taken advantage of his opportunities now. So
Speaker 1: talk about receiver drops or Sheep Bailey seeing the catch, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: two tough catches bad and I want to traffic just
Speaker 1: you know what kind of had And he's been really good.
Speaker 1: You know, that's the one thing about Rashid. He's got
Speaker 1: outstanding hands. You know, I don't he may not be
Speaker 1: as fast as some of those other guys, but I
Speaker 1: think he's a really good route runner, you know. And
Speaker 1: you talk about the jump that he made, you know,
Speaker 1: coming from Rocksborough High School and playing at Del Valle
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he's playing in the
Speaker 1: link against the Indianapolis Colts. You know, that's a pretty
Speaker 1: big jump for anybody, and I was anxious to see
Speaker 1: what his response would be with you know, if there
Speaker 1: was any kid or any player on our team that
Speaker 1: could be a little starry eye, it would have been him.
Speaker 1: But he wasn't. He was out there, it was all
Speaker 1: about business. Wanted to make plays and made a nice
Speaker 1: catch on our sideline on a you know, a key
Speaker 1: out route. Then that catch he made coming down on
Speaker 1: the on the steam ball from Timmy, and I thought
Speaker 1: Tim put it the only place he could put it
Speaker 1: because it was really good coverage. But for him to
Speaker 1: come up with it was a was a big time
Speaker 1: catch on his part. So did you like, I'm watching
Speaker 1: tim tebo. I mean it seemed like he can you know,
Speaker 1: he's able to run. He was able to you know.
Speaker 1: I like how Timmy threw it. You know, I thought,
Speaker 1: you know, that's the big concern with everybody coming in
Speaker 1: is is has he really changed? And I think, is uh,
Speaker 1: he's sequencing better. You know, he's got his feet underneath him.
Speaker 1: And when guys ran the right routes and he had
Speaker 1: an opportunity to throw the football, I thought he threw
Speaker 1: the ball really well. All right, hey, coach Chip Kelly,
Speaker 1: addressing in the media following the eagles thirty six to
Speaker 1: ten win over the Indianapolis Colts. Now we want to
Speaker 1: hear from you and get your reaction to the win.

Speaker 1: back to the postgame Show, presented by Rico here at
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagle dot com Chris McPherson alongside Ike Reese. We're
Speaker 1: going to head to the phone lines and welcome in
Speaker 1: Havon from DC Tavon. What's your take on the Eagles
Speaker 1: win to start the preseason? Hey, what's going on? The
Speaker 1: first thing I want to say, it's preseason you know,
Speaker 1: I try not to get too excited, but you know,
Speaker 1: we really did our think total team effort, you know,
Speaker 1: all around, offensive, defensive. You know, we really did our
Speaker 1: thing out there. Man, I want to salute to my boys.
Speaker 1: I just can't wait to see Sam get on the field, man.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, the fact
Speaker 1: that the offense was able to put up thirty six
Speaker 1: points today really without using their first team is out
Speaker 1: there very often. I think it speaks really to the
Speaker 1: depth of the team. More importantly, this is Chip's third
Speaker 1: year with his system, and you can tell that the
Speaker 1: players are a little more familiar with what the coach wants.
Speaker 1: We saw multiple formations. The offense didn't look like it
Speaker 1: missed a beat after that first drive when they went
Speaker 1: three and out. From that point on, I thought the
Speaker 1: offense looked pretty good for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: We'll look at the quarterbacks you have coming in. You
Speaker 1: are start with Mark Sanchez, who's won in the NFL.
Speaker 1: You have Matt Barkley, former fourth round pick who's been
Speaker 1: in the offense for a few years, and then now
Speaker 1: you have Tim Tebow coming off last. And then you
Speaker 1: look at the depth at wide receiver. You know, you
Speaker 1: guys like Miles Austin coming in there with the second
Speaker 1: team unit, so a lot of production from all over
Speaker 1: the place. So now one player who I know you
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about was linebacker Marcus Smith. So a
Speaker 1: second year player. Now he was I think one of
Speaker 1: the players completely in the spotlight coming into this game
Speaker 1: because last year didn't see much of him on defense.
Speaker 1: I think we would joking about this off camera. He
Speaker 1: might have played more snaps in this preseason game today
Speaker 1: than he did all of last season in the regular season.
Speaker 1: And you could tell by how hot it was out
Speaker 1: there in South Philadelphia Lincoln Financial Field today that he
Speaker 1: was feeling the heat by the end of the game.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I sure don't miss those days when you're
Speaker 1: in that first preseason game as a backup player and
Speaker 1: you're on all four primary special teams units, and you
Speaker 1: know the first team is only going to be out
Speaker 1: there for eight to ten plays and you have the
Speaker 1: rest of the game. So I don't miss those days.
Speaker 1: And Marcus Smith was out there sucking win. But here's
Speaker 1: what I like when I saw about Marcus Smith out there,
Speaker 1: he didn't give up. He did not give up. I
Speaker 1: saw him around the football an awful lot, particularly early
Speaker 1: in this game, whether it was in the passing game
Speaker 1: covering tight ends Kobe Fleiner, or whether or not he
Speaker 1: was playing on the edge of the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: trying to set set the deepense and make sure you
Speaker 1: turn the ball back in. So I know he only
Speaker 1: gets credit for one total tackle the day, but I
Speaker 1: thought I thought he was around the football an awful
Speaker 1: lot today, I really do. He seemed to be a
Speaker 1: little more ashore of himself. He looked a little more aggressive.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I had like my binoculars honed in
Speaker 1: on Smith just to watch him. Because here's the thing.
Speaker 1: One of my concerns what the team is at the
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham and Connor Barwin. There isn't much depth there
Speaker 1: at that outside linebacker position. So Marcus is a former
Speaker 1: first round draft pick that they're gonna need to step
Speaker 1: up at times and give Connor Barwin. And uh did
Speaker 1: I say Trent Coley. I mean to say he was
Speaker 1: on the field today too for a brief an give
Speaker 1: those guys, Give those guys a little bit of a break,
Speaker 1: just like Brandon Graham was able to do for Trent
Speaker 1: Cole and Connor Barwin last year. Marcus Smith needs to
Speaker 1: be that third linebacker for those two guys certainly a
Speaker 1: huge role for the Eagles. Of Phil Graham played about
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the snap so you look at him,
Speaker 1: he's got to make that jump where he's going to
Speaker 1: be out there playing close to a thousand snaps for
Speaker 1: the season. Now, Smith, who played fewer than one hundred
Speaker 1: for the entire season, now has to get to that
Speaker 1: fifty percent range or so or you're looking at him
Speaker 1: at least to be the guy. Now, what are the
Speaker 1: three main things that they asked the outside linebackers to do.
Speaker 1: You mentioned they have to set the edge. He was
Speaker 1: able to do that at times. You saw the pass rush,
Speaker 1: he was able to stunt to get to the inside
Speaker 1: to put some fresh on the couples. And last, but
Speaker 1: not least, you want to ask him to drop back
Speaker 1: into coverage. He was able to do that at Louisville.
Speaker 1: So that's why you envisioned a smooth transition to the NFL. Well,
Speaker 1: he went against a very athletic head and Kobe Fleiner
Speaker 1: today of the cult and was able to acquit himself nicely.
Speaker 1: So on all three of those aspects, I thought Marcus
Speaker 1: Smith showed tremendous improvement, and like you know this that
Speaker 1: going from that first year where especially you're the first
Speaker 1: round pick, you know, everybody's looking at exactly where I
Speaker 1: think Bill Davis coined the term, you know, having coping
Speaker 1: mechanisms better suited better, you know, able to deal with
Speaker 1: that going into your second year where the pressure's off
Speaker 1: of you a little bit because of maybe some of
Speaker 1: the perceived disappointment, but nonetheless now you have your chance
Speaker 1: to go out there and just play ball the way
Speaker 1: you know how. Yeah, you know, listen, Marcus, Marcus and
Speaker 1: mab paying needs to pick it up as far as
Speaker 1: his aggressiveness here there, certainly. So we're gonna bring in
Speaker 1: the fourth man of our crew, NFL Film senior producer
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell, who's gonna do a little All twenty two breakdown.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go back to the offensive side of the
Speaker 1: ball and look at Mark Sanchez making a connection to
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper. It's a staple of the Eagles offense. Nothing
Speaker 1: flashy earlier the game, but it's something that you're gonna
Speaker 1: see plenty of throughout the course of the season. In
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly's third season. Now is the Eagles head coach.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see more and more of
Speaker 1: his expansive, speed tempo offense. And I thought the second
Speaker 1: play of the game was really instructive, and I want
Speaker 1: to show you that against the Colts. What you're going
Speaker 1: to see here is something we see a lot from
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. It's a two by two stacked set. You
Speaker 1: can see that two receivers stacked on each side of
Speaker 1: the formation. Now, what they're also going to do here
Speaker 1: are the Eagles, is they're going to do the normal
Speaker 1: read option mesh in the backfield. This is something they
Speaker 1: do on a high percentage of their plays. So if
Speaker 1: we clear the screen right here and you run it
Speaker 1: a little bit, you'll see what happens. Freeze it right here,
Speaker 1: perfect example. Here's the mesh right in the backfield. Okay,
Speaker 1: Now what's going to happen Because there's no one on
Speaker 1: the end of the line because that defensive end right
Speaker 1: here has gone down inside to play the running game,
Speaker 1: the zone run game. Sanchez is going to take the
Speaker 1: ball and come outside right here. So let's clear this
Speaker 1: screen and you're going to see that as Sanchez moves out. Now,
Speaker 1: stop it right here. The reason Sanchez starts to throw
Speaker 1: the ball is you'll notice this linebacker right here, and
Speaker 1: this is exactly what Chip wants. He wants to force
Speaker 1: a defender to be wrong by the design of his play.
Speaker 1: So that linebacker is now reacting to Mark Sanchez running
Speaker 1: the football as part of the read option, so he's
Speaker 1: now removed as a past defender. This is critical because
Speaker 1: now what do you get on the outside. You get
Speaker 1: two receivers and only one defender. The play now has worked.
Speaker 1: This is exactly what people talk about when they talk
Speaker 1: about packaged plays within the Chip Kelly offense. Clear of
Speaker 1: the screen, you'll see Mark Sanchez throws it here to
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper and you get a very good gain. This
Speaker 1: was the second play of the game. You gain a
Speaker 1: good nine yards. Beautifully designed play, a package play with
Speaker 1: really about three or four different options within the same play.
Speaker 1: This is what Chip Kelly does offensively. It's very, very
Speaker 1: difficult to defend because it forces defenders to be wrong.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Greg. Now we're going to bring
Speaker 1: him on in just a little bit to look at
Speaker 1: one of the key plays during the touchdown drive that
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley led, The one that resulted in a nine
Speaker 1: yard nine yard touchdown run by Kenyan Barner, who also
Speaker 1: had a sweet pump return as well ninety two yards
Speaker 1: take it to the house late in the first half,
Speaker 1: which really put the game away. So what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do now, take a quick commercial break on the other side,
Speaker 1: we wanted to jump in on the conversation. Two one three,
Speaker 1: two zero five one seven zero is the phone number,
Speaker 1: and we will have that and much more come up
Speaker 1: here on the postgame show presented by Rico. What makes
Speaker 1: a Temple Owl? Meet Stella. She's wise, fierce, and she's

Speaker 1: show presented by Rico. You know, we were talking about
Speaker 1: a lot of the second year guys, Jillen Watkins we
Speaker 1: saw out there with the first team Nickel defense. We
Speaker 1: talked about Marcus Smith as well. How about Ed Reynolds
Speaker 1: stepping up the safety at Stanford who spent last year
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. Two interceptions certainly making a case
Speaker 1: where it's a very crowded field right now at safety,
Speaker 1: and yeah, when you're talking about secondary players, really the
Speaker 1: only way if you're gonna make a splash is about
Speaker 1: making plays on the ball, either you're dislodging of the
Speaker 1: ball from a wide receiver or you're out there catching interceptions.
Speaker 1: And for air Reynolds to be around the football as
Speaker 1: frequently as he was today, say, he's opened eyes of
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches. I know they drafted him here
Speaker 1: last year and had high hopes for him, but unlike
Speaker 1: a lot of rookies, they struggling their first year just
Speaker 1: to get acclimated, just to catch up to the speed
Speaker 1: of the game. And he certainly looks like a different
Speaker 1: player this year compared to last year when he was
Speaker 1: a late graduate as well from Stanford. The OTAs couldn't
Speaker 1: get in and you could tell this year he's been
Speaker 1: here the whole off season. And again, when you're around
Speaker 1: the football as much as he was today, you're gonna
Speaker 1: catch a lot of the coaches attention. So what happens
Speaker 1: at this point, like Chip Kelly's gonna take this realize
Speaker 1: there are some great things he can take out of it.
Speaker 1: There's some not so good things, some teaching points, I
Speaker 1: think is a phrase he used. What's gonna happen when
Speaker 1: the team reconvenes as an overcare complex on Tuesday for
Speaker 1: those first said meetings. In the first training session following
Speaker 1: the game, Yeah, you know, and I guarantee you Chip
Speaker 1: will harp more on those teaching points, those negative players
Speaker 1: that may have occurred throughout the course of his games.
Speaker 1: Then he will spending time patting his players on the back,
Speaker 1: telling them how great of a job they did, because
Speaker 1: all coaches want to do this time a year. It's
Speaker 1: get their players better, find things that are teachable, that
Speaker 1: are coachable, and I'm pretty sure there's enough players out there,
Speaker 1: whether it's from the offensive lines, protection, whether it may
Speaker 1: have been from coverages that weren't ran as precise as
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be. The coaches will nitpick. This
Speaker 1: is where listen. This is where a player like Aaron
Speaker 1: Reynolds will say, well, I got more Mindussies than I
Speaker 1: knew positives. I thought I played a great game, you know,
Speaker 1: And it's it's for the purpose, the sole purpose of
Speaker 1: trying to keep you focused and keeping you hungry to
Speaker 1: come back in the next game. And finding things that
Speaker 1: you can continue to get better at. When you have
Speaker 1: a blowout like today's game, the easiest thing for players
Speaker 1: to do is to think, well, we did everything the
Speaker 1: coach is expected of us. It should be a nice,
Speaker 1: relaxed day and practice come Tuesday. The next time we
Speaker 1: come back. All the coaches are going to be happy
Speaker 1: we blew the Indianapolis coach out. No, that's not what
Speaker 1: coaches coach for it. They coach too correct, so even
Speaker 1: when there isn't something wrong on a particular play, they'll
Speaker 1: find something wrong on that particular play just so that
Speaker 1: they can coach. And it's a good trait to have
Speaker 1: as teachers because you want your students in this case.
Speaker 1: In this case players, you don't want them to get complacent.
Speaker 1: It's still a long way to go before that first game,
Speaker 1: and a blowout game like this, it's very easy for
Speaker 1: players to start to feel themselves and think that they
Speaker 1: have arrived, as opposed to remain in Hungary and getting
Speaker 1: ready for the Baltimore Ravens that'll be in here what
Speaker 1: Tuesday Wednesday this week. So the other series that joint
Speaker 1: practices in the next Saturday is the second preseason game
Speaker 1: for the Eagles against those Ballmore Ravens at Lincoln Fancial Field.
Speaker 1: But first we're gonna go back to yet another All
Speaker 1: twenty and two piece, Matt Barkley connecting with second year
Speaker 1: wide receiver Jordan Matthews. Another staple of the Eagles offense
Speaker 1: that fans can expect to see throughout the course of
Speaker 1: the season. Great co Sell breaks down the All twenty two.
Speaker 1: I want to show you a staple play off Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly's offense. We saw it last numerous times. We saw
Speaker 1: it for touchdowns last year, and I can remember it
Speaker 1: in at least three or four games. It's a really
Speaker 1: interesting concept. And what we're going to start with here
Speaker 1: what do we see. Of course, this is Matt Barkley.
Speaker 1: He's in the shotgun. We have the back offset to
Speaker 1: his left, so you're going to initially see the zone
Speaker 1: run action right in the backfield here going to the
Speaker 1: right side of the formation. Now, let me show you
Speaker 1: exactly what the route concept is. It's a basic three
Speaker 1: level stretch concept or flood concept. You might have heard
Speaker 1: that term. You're going to have the outside receiver run vertically.
Speaker 1: You're going to have Jordan Matthews here, the crossing route.
Speaker 1: He's the intermediate receiver, and then you're going to have
Speaker 1: the tight end right here run the short route. So
Speaker 1: you have a vertical route, and intermediate route and a
Speaker 1: short route. That's the three level stretch. Those are the
Speaker 1: three separate levels. So let's clear the screen and start
Speaker 1: the play and you'll see exactly what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: If you take it right to about here, this is perfect.
Speaker 1: You're going to get boot action to the left with Barkley.
Speaker 1: He's going to roll out here, away from pressure, away
Speaker 1: from the zone, run action, away from the flow of
Speaker 1: the defense. Really well done. We saw the vertical route here,
Speaker 1: so what do you have. You get exactly what you want.
Speaker 1: You get Jordan Matthews right here, matched on a linebacker
Speaker 1: who initially reacted to the run action, so you get
Speaker 1: the one on one matchup across the field that you want.
Speaker 1: Beautifully designed. Let's clear the screen and now you can
Speaker 1: see the play as we let it run. And what
Speaker 1: I loved here was Barkeley. He turned his body, set
Speaker 1: his feet, made a beautiful throw to Jordan Matthews. As
Speaker 1: I said, a staple play in the Eagles passing game.
Speaker 1: Boot action to the left, the quarterback getting his body
Speaker 1: turned and a great throw by Barkeley to Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: on the mismatch. Thanks Greg. What are you gonna be
Speaker 1: talking about on the air tomorrow? Mike and Nike Show
Speaker 1: ninety four w ip T two now to the two now? Yes, no,
Speaker 1: act three hours wasn't enough, No extra money, just an
Speaker 1: extra hour. I think I can get that off on
Speaker 1: these everyway. I got thought of my chest. No, but
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about obviously this game. There's so much
Speaker 1: to get into with this game, the quarterback play. I
Speaker 1: thought there were positive things that all three guys did
Speaker 1: out there. Obviously t Bow. We'll talk about t Bow
Speaker 1: many and we'll get into a well, the very the
Speaker 1: fact that he did some positive things and there are
Speaker 1: some things that he needs to work on. But here's
Speaker 1: what I'll say about Tim Tebow. The last time I've
Speaker 1: seen Tim Tebow two years ago, I didn't think he
Speaker 1: belonged in the National Football League at all. There's nothing
Speaker 1: that I've seen thus far since he put on a
Speaker 1: midnight green back in the spring. It says he doesn't
Speaker 1: at least deserve a shot at making a team. He
Speaker 1: looks like an improved thrower. Then what he looked two
Speaker 1: years ago where he looked robotic throwing the football, and
Speaker 1: then ken Yon Barner. I think he's like an unsung
Speaker 1: hero today because he had to shoulder the load of
Speaker 1: carrying the football for the running game, and then we
Speaker 1: saw what he was able to do as a pump returner.
Speaker 1: What was that ninety yards? Ninety two yards he took
Speaker 1: that ball back? How about Dave Phipps still has the
Speaker 1: best special teams in football. I mean, we didn't talk
Speaker 1: about special teams all off season, and I see why
Speaker 1: we still have the best unit in the league. So
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that the breakdown, and then
Speaker 1: you know, we'll nitpick at some things like why didn't
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray play you know, stuff like that preseason game. No,
Speaker 1: but I need to keep callers calling up to the show,
Speaker 1: so I'll pose the question, that's the weather exactly? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you know it is this preseason. This will carry us
Speaker 1: over to the next game against the Baltimore Ravens. The
Speaker 1: fans are excited about this team, so we break down
Speaker 1: every facet of the team that we'll be breaking down, chips,
Speaker 1: play calling, it's that that really mattered to a whole lot.
Speaker 1: But the fans are so in tune to what's going
Speaker 1: on with this ball club. They want to break down
Speaker 1: every facet and you know what's next, Sam Bradford. That's
Speaker 1: going to be the discussion all week long here. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm ready to see, aren't you? These I Greece,
Speaker 1: I'm Chris McPherson. You've watched the postgame show presented by
Speaker 1: Rico here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. The Eagles are
