WEBVTT - Week 8 Postgame Show 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:12.800 The Eagles moved to seven and O, beating the Steelers 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.200 thirty five to thirteen. And it was the A. J. 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.600 Brown Show that was touchdown number one? Here comes touchdown 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.439 number two. How about touchdown number three? It was a 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.680 hat trick for A J. Brown today, but he was 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.000 the only receiver that found the end zone. Zach Pascal 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:30.760 scores his first touchdown as an Eagle. Welcome to the 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.800 postgame show presented by Rico. I'm Gabriella de Givanni, joined 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:46.720 by friend Duffy and I Greece Ike. I wasn't sure 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:48.360 how much juice you were gonna have coming off the 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.360 bye week, you know, but no rust whatsoever. Mid season 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.480 form from my crazy weren't rusty. You weren't rusty. I'm 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.280 telling you. I didn't realize the team was gonna looked 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.279 as good either coming off the bye week. Man, this 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.040 was a blast to watch this play today. I mean 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.319 the offense, ball through the air. A J. Brown. Outstanding 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.640 game from him with Jalen Hurst today, My goodness, career 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.560 high four touchdown passes. He just looked flawless out there today. Yeah. 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.920 Then the defense one for twelve, oh third down, you 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.399 have three sacks a couple more turnovers. This defense continuing 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.000 a high level of play here against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.319 But this is what you want to see from a 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.080 team like the Eagles. On paper, they should win this game, 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.160 there is no question about that. But to be able 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.399 to do that through all four quarters frame You and 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.040 I talked about this in the postgame show. Can they 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.920 put together a performance in all four quarters? And I 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.760 think they did that today. Yeah. And you're so right. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.399 When you're going up against an inferior opponent like the 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.760 Pitchburgh Steelers, sometimes it's human nature to let your guard 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.760 down and think it's gonna be a casual day for you. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.800 But I like what the Eagles did. Man. They came out, 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.160 they delivered the first punch, and they didn't let their 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.920 foot up off the gas all day until they got 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.240 that final touchdown and they put the backup staying there. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.480 This is what you want to see from a football 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.040 team that's undefeated. I think it's been their most dominant 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.240 performance of the season. When you think about start to finish, 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.360 If you think about playing a young team or with 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.120 a young quarterback like the Pitchburg Stablers, you don't want 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.640 this team to hang around and think that they can 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.680 win this game. You want to put your foot on 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.880 the firth boat and basically choke him out. And that's 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.600 what they did. That's what dominant football teams do, and 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.560 that's what the Eagles did today. Yeah, h I think 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.960 you hit the nail on the head. This was a 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.040 four quarter game. That's one of the things that was 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.519 the only complaint that you heard about this team was 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.959 all the difference between the first half and the second half. 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.480 What happens with the offense on the first drive of 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.840 the second of the second half, they come out in 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.600 completion on first down and then four straight plays of 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.120 ten plus yards that leads to a touchdown, and then 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.080 defensively boat two turnovers in the second half. You let 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.560 up three points on the scoreboard. Just an outstanding job 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.600 on both sides of the football. Really good complimentary football 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.320 from this team, but a really strong way to finish 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.040 after the fast start. All right, Eagles fans, We're gonna 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.320 head over to Lincoln Financial Field where Dave Spernero joins 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.440 US live from the field. Dave WelCom in. The Eagles 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.920 are seven and oh that's the top. What are your 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.600 big takeaways from today's game. You know, Ella, great energy 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.160 from this football team today. We wondered how they would 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.600 come off the bye week, wondered about the sixteen minute 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.880 game as you guys talked about, and they showed right away. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.520 As Jalen Hurts said during the week, do you remember, Ella, 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:21.280 that he talked about elevating that intensity, that focus, that urgency, 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.960 and they did that today. I thought Jalen was really 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.600 great throwing the football down the field, and that is 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.280 something that you'd heard in the past, the Eagles not 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.880 throwing the ball down the field a lot. His accuracy 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.440 down the field in question. Some of the balls he 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.920 had today were absolutely fantastic. And a J. Brown going 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.680 up and making plays and adjusting to the football and 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.600 stealing those fifty fifty passes away from defensive backs. It's 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.080 everything we've seen from AJ. And then that on the 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.800 other side that the confidence that Jalen Hurts has throwing 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.320 the football down field really really impressive. Then they got 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.000 the run game going in the second half, so really 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:01.000 good Yin and yang there offensively, and then offensively Eagles 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:05.080 very content giving up that short stuff to Kenny Pickett. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.400 But when the time came to put the pressure on 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.320 to take the football away. They did it. It was 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.680 just a really impressive performance and again a sixty minute game. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.240 As Franz said, something that the Eagles had been talking 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.960 about all year. We finally saw it today. Eagles scored 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.240 a touchdown in every quarter of this afternoon. Dave, what 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.520 does that say about the productivity from the offensive side 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.880 of the football. Yeah, great consistency. It's what they've been 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.799 looking for. And you know, not coming out slow, putting 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.240 up points on the first drive, still just coming at 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.440 the Steelers, coming at the Steelers in a variety of ways. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.920 Getting Zach Pascal involved. I just really like what Zach 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.920 brings to the game, So getting him involved, keeping him 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:46.120 going really important there. Dallas Goddard another very quiet but 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.720 six catches. Eagles spreading the football around, doing a great job. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:54.080 DeVante Smith some nice catching runs. I just again, if 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.520 this team can put together four quarters like they did today, 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.480 I don't care who the opposition is, really really tough 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.640 team to be. She objected for this defense was limiting 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.440 explosive plays going into this afternoon. What can you say 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.320 about their performance? Yeah, I thought again, you know, the 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.080 clay Pool Pickens, I think I think he did not 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.760 have a catch and at least till the very end, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.720 I mean last I look, he had zero catches, so 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.680 really good job by James Bradberry and company working on 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.159 him down the field. Good job on Deontay Johnson and 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.440 his speed, Clay Pool, same thing. I mean, the Eagles 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.880 not we talked about it before the game, do not 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.760 give up the big play, which they didn't do. They 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.480 really they did a very nice job containing Pittsburgh, keeping 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.279 everything in front of them, and then being able to 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.080 have those two takeaways huge keeps the streak alive here. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.080 Sixteen takeaways in seven games is remarkable. And then a 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.479 lot of pressure on Picket and some sacks and the 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.800 defense again you know that one touchdown and after the 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.800 Eagles scored. Okay, you go out, Teas, I want to 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.320 see a perfect game. Other than that, it was pretty 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.120 much a perfect game from the Eagles defense. Dave, what 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.400 was that crowd? Like? Seven to zero? The Eagles were 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.599 dominant all game. Yeah, I mean, I'll tell you, like 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.000 the Eagles, I think the crowd might be a little 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.120 partied out from the weekend and they're sitting here and 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.160 they're they're sitting here any good time in the morning. 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.360 I think everybody kind of expected the Eagles to take 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.400 care of business today against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A few 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.760 times they had to get loud third downs they did, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.159 but otherwise, I think the fans sat back, understood what 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.640 they were watching, and that was a domination by the 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.440 Philadelphia Eagles over the Pittsburgh Steelers. They sat back in 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.800 this beautiful October day and enjoyed every bit of it. 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.159 Late night baseball Game's gonna be a late night on 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:40.000 Thursday all week ahead for Philly fans and a great weekend. 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.840 Everybody's really enjoying all the positive vibes, and I think 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.599 the players are feeding off that too. It's just a 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.279 it's a great sports environment in Philadelphia. Great Dave, thank 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.240 you so much. All Right, that was Eagles Inside or 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.200 Dave Spinnaro. But Eagles fans, while you're tuning in, be 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.880 sure to write in the Facebook comments any questions you 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.200 have for Ike and or ask Ike segment. You can 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:00.960 type them in the faceboo comments will ear them on 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.800 the show. All right. Listening to some things that Dave 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.320 had to say, I thought it was interesting when he 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.760 said Eagles fans are kind of sitting back and enjoying this. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.640 It is something to enjoy and a moment to just 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.800 be very present for it. But when he did get 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.560 get into the weeds of what we saw today, and 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.800 you think about I mean, he said George Pickens had 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.920 zero receptions. Say, weekend and week out, we see this 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.680 defense completely shut down very productive wide receivers. Yeah, I mean, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.040 We've said it before. This is the best secondary in football. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.920 And I'm actually a little surprised they weren't able to 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.360 come up with a few more interceptions off Kenny Pikett. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.640 But he kept the ball out of harms right for 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.640 the most part, Kemp everything underneath. The times he did 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.960 throw the ball down the field, it certainly wasn't harms 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.360 where they finally got one with C. J. Gardner Johnson 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.400 picking him off late. But I'm you don't want to 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.760 take for granted what this defense is doing. But it's 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.280 almost expected, all right, It's almost expected. That's the level 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.680 and the standard that they've set by the way that 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.040 they've played so far this year. And you look at 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.120 the schedule and you say to yourself, what quarterback is 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.640 going to be able to throw the ball against this defense? 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.960 I just don't see it. When you look at how 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.240 the defensive line plays up front, and they played complimentary 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.360 football on the back end, there's no one to throw 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.240 the ball too. I mean, it just is it. I 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.360 just don't think that you can have any issues with 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:19.480 the defensive performance in this game. The only touchdown allowed 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.880 in this game came on that fourth and one trick 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.040 play off the jet sweep throw from Chase Claypool, and 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.480 that happened after a penalty on the field goal. Right, 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.200 So you have a long drive in the end of 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.840 the beginning of the third quarter, fourteen plays, you're up 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.480 eighteen points, so you go fourteen plays that ends in 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.640 the field goal. That drive, by the way extended by 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.400 the fake punt. So when you look at all the 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.360 points that Pittsburgh was able to score, some flukey plays 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.480 involved in there, I thought this defense was really really impressive. 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.480 One for twelve on third down. The only third down 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.560 conversion a QB sneak from Kenny Pickett on third and 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.520 one that was all the way back in the first quarter. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.240 So this defense absolutely showed up in a big way 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.040 today against the Steelers. Six sacks for the Eagles defense, 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.960 two of those coming from jay Von Hargrave, against former team. 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.080 What can we say about the pressure we're seeing from 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.960 the Eagles defense affront? I just mentioned the complimentary defense, right, 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.280 so very want to get into Kittie Pickett no problem 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.440 because he has nowhere to go with the football. You know. 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.000 Sometimes they do a great job getting off the ball, 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.400 beating the one on one blocks, but there were times 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.240 a day where he had to hold the ball back 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.000 there and it was great to see Javon Hargrave has 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.560 his success against his old team. I thought the play 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.600 where he got the strip fumble there really put out 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.000 the last little ditch of holding in Pitchburgh had of 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.559 getting back into this game, and that was a huge 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.520 play there. Yeah, no doubt it. It's always great to 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.800 be able to see guys perform in that kind of situation. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.080 One thing I loved too from the Seagles defense. We 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.079 saw a number of blitzes. We saw a number of 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.760 stunts that resulted in some big plays that CJ. Gardner, 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.560 Johnson or sack came off that nickel pressure. And then 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.360 we saw the sack from a Son Reddick on the 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.079 first third down of the game that came on that 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:50.760 three man stunt. We haven't seen a lot of that 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.000 from the Seagles defense. I thought that was impressive to 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.040 take away as well. Thirteen tackles for t J Edwards today, 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.040 another game where he was the team's leading tackler. You know, 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.920 I'm coming to UI. What have you seen from him 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.600 in terms of growth? Right, he was a good linebacker 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.600 last year, obviously that he was believed to him when 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.080 they gave him a contract extension. But now he's played 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.439 a different kind of ball. Yeah, his football IQ is 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.680 so high and you can tell he's rarely out of position. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.480 That's the thing I love about TJ. Not the biggest, 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.960 not the fastest, so he's not going to overwhelm you 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.680 with his measurables, but he has it up here. He 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.240 knows where to be at those guys trusting you talk. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.280 You talk about the thirteen tackles that he had. He 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.440 also tipped that ball that CJ partner Johnson was able 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.959 to pick off TJ. TJ to me, he's obviously an overachiever. 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.360 He's talking about the guy was undrafted. He's played different 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.760 positions coming out of Wisconsin. Man, he's just a hard worker. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.600 That's why I love his story. I love his journey 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.520 to the NFL and what He's become on this football 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.679 team really one of the leaders over there own defense. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.600 Even though they have all the big money players around him, 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.520 TJ is the guy in the middle that they all 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.720 look to. Yeah, let the team and pass breakups. Today 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.800 you had a couple of so leading the team and 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.520 tackles and pass breakup. I've always been a fan of 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.800 t J. Edwards, and I think that his play shows 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.040 up so so well in this scheme. When you're gonna 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.200 play with lighter boxes, you need your guys in the 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.040 front seven that are playing close to the line of 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.840 scrimmage to be able to play through contact defeat blocks. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:14.959 You can't just be one for one up there when 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.600 you've got six guys in the box. And I think 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.400 you see that time and time again from t J. Edwards. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.600 His ability to be a ball magnet and just get 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.000 to the football time and time again shows up every 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.360 single week. All Right, we haven't asked that question. Let's 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:32.559 see what we have. I get one more victory from you. 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:44.360 Come on, you gotta perform for the people like victory. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.280 He might not be able to talk. The rest I get, 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.920 I get nervous. They're getting really intense. He's getting more 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.959 of the body into than these days. I'm worried he's 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.920 gonna go back chair down. Tell you if I do 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.960 fall out of his chair to go to blank real quick. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.240 I don't think you got a fray with that on. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.600 You're going viral on that one. All right, let's get 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.920 back to the defense. It's funny the Eagles put up 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.320 thirty five points, but we're talking about the defense. But 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.520 I have another question for you guys. Seeing CJ. Gardner 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.240 Johnson get his third interception, I'm sorry, another interception in 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.760 his third straight game, I should say he's still a 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.640 new addition to this team. When you see guys like him, 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.719 like Hassan Reddick, I mean, he kicked things off of 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.040 the defense with that sack in the opening drive against 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.600 the Steelers, And then you get a guy like Robert 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.880 Quinn and how's he going to find his place in 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.240 this defense? What can you say about Jonathan Gann and 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.760 what he's done to really bring all of these pieces together, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.200 really has done a masterful job this year. You know, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:41.680 these guys usually you need game experience together to sort 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.640 of be able to play off of each other on 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.120 that defensive side of the ball. And watching what these 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.559 guys are doing, given the fact that most of them 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.600 got here this year on that side of the football, 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.360 It's been amazing that jan I said he's JG. Now 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.600 he went since JG has the ability to do the 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.839 what we call it the multiple multiple defenses. Yeah, the 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.960 multiple defenses give you different looks. I love how he's 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.320 using guy's Fran brought up the sack the Hassan Reddick had. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.559 You rarely see a three man game like that where 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.480 the ind comes all the way around and at least 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.480 have it work, and he came through that Scott free. 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.600 So Jonathan Ganning up at night mad scientists coming up 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.079 with different ways to put these guys in position so 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.079 so that they can make place and C. J. Gardner 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.600 Johnson is playing safety, where a position power of coming here. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.920 He had some reps at it, but didn't do it 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.920 a whole lot. He was more of a nickel corner. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.320 And I love the fact that he's back there as 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.440 a ball hulking player and a playmaker man. This defense 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.360 is only going to get better as the season goes on. Yeah. 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:40.840 One of the big things that I've heard a lot 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.640 over these last couple of weeks of the Eagles you know, 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.079 plus twelve and turnover ratio. Coming into the game, was 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.439 all like, is that sustainable? Are they're always gonna be 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.560 able to count on those turnovers? Well, I think with 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.800 the way that the Eagles have set this team up, 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.240 not just from a player's standpoint, when you get a 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.720 reddick and you're adding Robert Quinn, all those guys are 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.400 certainly out to it. I'm sorry I have to cut 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.280 you off with the man of the hour aj at 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:09.840 the podium. Every one, good man. When there's a gold 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:17.400 ball for you, when you enjoy moms, you know something, Uh, 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.320 I think I enjoyed the most being single covered. You know. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.800 Um my eyes light up because I know I got 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.160 a possibility. It gets the ball and it's my ball 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.920 to nobody ball. And I'm kind of upseting myself because 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.280 I know the opportunity laying a game even though it's 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.200 a flag, but I knew I could have caught the 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.760 ball and another opportunity in the ball I had dropped 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.920 where I let the sun just dictate my whole everything. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.840 I couldn't see the ball in and so that I'm 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.400 really kind of upset right now because I know I 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.840 could have had like a I had a big day, 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.640 but I could have had an even bigger day, you know, 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.440 if I made the most of them opportunities. So it's 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.160 definitely wrong for improvement. So James, I kind of if 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.960 you kind of talk about those late hands you were 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:07.040 practicing during the summer, um kind of showed up today. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.720 Yea with a couple of those, how much you take 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.680 you I prove that I'm always trying to like work 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:18.960 on something and continue continue, uh getting a bigger bag, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.120 you know, the building my arts on them, and uh 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.520 yeah I did. I did show late hands and I 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.320 squeeze them, squeezing back inside to give myself some room 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.960 for the over the shoulder. Jenna gave me a great 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.000 ball on them on both of the sideline passes, and 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:37.200 you know, I just ots over the shoulder. So what 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.960 was stealing that that first touchdown? Pastics like it sort 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.240 of slowed up mid round before you saw the ball 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.720 in the airline. Yeah, that's the thing with Jenen. You 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.640 never know like what to expect because I did not 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.080 supposed to get that ball, and I looked I was 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.960 just trying to clear it off for Smitty and you know, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.800 get the safety out of out the way and Uh. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.000 I looked up the ball was in air, and I'm like, 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.840 oh shit, I mean and at I gotta at least 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.720 try to go do something. You know. I know Miko 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.240 back there and he was he was playing like the 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.160 center field. I'm glad he wasn't that aggressive, you know, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.560 so you know I had to be aggressive. So on 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.040 the other two touchdowns, you did you know it was? 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:17.000 It was different? Yeah, I knew I had a possibility 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.120 to to get the ball right there and he got 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:25.120 called for a Tony Pann. Yeah, you're saying to the Steelers, Uh, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.600 I just said one two, that's not enough. You know 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:42.640 what you form, the kind of cemetry, what's physical? Me 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:48.200 and jam Um, I think we just we just want 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.200 to be great. You know, this is somebody that I 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:56.880 called myself, called myself, called my friend, and he knows 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.400 or he knows what I want to accomplished, and I 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.080 know he want to complished. So when you're playing for 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.239 somebody you know that you love. You know what I'm 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:09.800 saying that you call family, you know, it's a it's 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.600 a different it's a different it's a different meaning behind it. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.600 You know. You know, I know I can't let him down. 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.840 You know what I'm saying. So we just we just 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.719 haven't fun to playing for one another. You know, I'm 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:24.600 pretty sure he knows that I got his back and 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.880 I know he got mine. So I just think that's 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:32.280 that's exactly what this is. Like on your last reception, Um, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:33.840 you know, when you got caught the ball over the 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.800 middle and then kind of like ran past the defense, 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:37.760 I mean, did you think you were going in for 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.880 a touchdown? Yeah, that's another one I'm upset about too. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.040 My teammates gave me a hard time for that, Uh, 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.560 especially Zach Pascal and he just got called so he 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.159 made a little better. Um, But yeah, I definitely, I 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.159 definitely felt like I was on the score. You know, Mika. 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.159 You know, he did a good job of you know, 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.600 swiping my legs and get me down, But I was 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:04.840 I was upset, you know, that's I think, like, I 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.400 think that's the first time I got caught in the NFL. So, 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.920 you know, my teammates let me here here like that, 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.639 so we've all good to see what you guys have 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.240 like back in your president you kind of also open 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:21.280 it up stuffing the white jokes also passed all that. Yeah, 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.840 most definitely, Um, when I got out to a hard start, 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.440 you know, Um, we knew that's gonna start doubling me. Um, 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:31.600 and they did, and so it was another opportunity for 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.000 someone else, you know. And then and I don't mind that. 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.639 I don't mind that at all. But whenever, I just know, 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:38.359 whenever I get the opportunity to go on on one, 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.159 I got to make the most of it, you know. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.119 So like a lot of that, a lot of the 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.800 touchdowns were on blitzes by Pittsburgh exact. Got the point 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.720 of emphasis during the bye weeks. It was kind of 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.920 the focus there. Um Yeah, we most definitely wanted to 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.240 clean that up. But I didn't even know if it 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:59.000 was on blitzes to be honest, but we most definitely, 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.200 uh this this buy, you know, we wanted to try 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.639 to clean up everything is possible and picking up the 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.800 blitz and you know what I'm saying, calling the hot 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.240 routes was definitely one of the things that we worked on. 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:11.880 You talked about how player at your level you're still 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.520 trying to add you know, stuff to your bag and 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.320 the proud we're a team that's seven to do. How 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:21.720 do you guys as a group of board, Uh, just 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:26.359 remaining humble. We wasn't perfect out there. It made the score, 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:30.840 may may say something, but we wasn't perfect and we know, um, 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:32.679 we got stuff to clean up. You know, Like I 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.560 said a couple weeks ago, this team is hungry. You 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.399 know what I'm saying most importantly humble, but we know 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:40.000
