Speaker 1: Welcome to the post game. Chauffreson in by Rico. I'm
Speaker 1: Chris McPherson alongside Ike Reese. The Eagles demolished the forty
Speaker 1: nine Is by a score of thirty three to ten,
Speaker 1: taking grea business in their home to get to seven
Speaker 1: and one on the season. Ike best record by this
Speaker 1: football team since two thousand and four. Yeah, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna hear a lot of that this weekend and in
Speaker 1: the week's coming. This team keeps playing the way that
Speaker 1: they are playing. Obviously, old four team got off to
Speaker 1: a thirteen and one start before we lost too and
Speaker 1: gave away the last two games. But this is a
Speaker 1: team as head it in the right direction. I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta like what they did today. Came in against
Speaker 1: a against an inferior team in the forty nine ers,
Speaker 1: and took care of business. Got off to a little
Speaker 1: bit of a slugger start. I think that's to be expected.
Speaker 1: The weather was crazy out there, rain everywhere. Took this
Speaker 1: team a little while to find this rhythm, but they
Speaker 1: certainly found it in the second quarter and they carried
Speaker 1: over into the second half. This is what you do
Speaker 1: to teams that you're supposed to be take care of business,
Speaker 1: get out of there with the w and get ready
Speaker 1: for next week. All right, we have a great show
Speaker 1: for you to come up. We're gonna hear from head
Speaker 1: coach Doug Pearson and quarterback Carson Wentz. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: a little film review Kursey of Great Cosell and fran Duffy,
Speaker 1: and we're here from Eagles Inside Dave Spadero in just
Speaker 1: a few moments. But I coming into this game, the
Speaker 1: big storylines were how would the Eagles handled losing two
Speaker 1: of their key leaders Jason Pierce on offense and Jordan
Speaker 1: Hicks on defense. And I think on both sides of
Speaker 1: the football, they acquitted themselves quite nicely. Well, let's start
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. I thought the defense. Obviously,
Speaker 1: this is an offense that doesn't have a lot of
Speaker 1: explosive weapons. They got a rook quarterback in there, and
Speaker 1: ce J Bethner he's going to be limited in what
Speaker 1: he can do, so I wasn't as fearful about losing
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks this week, which I also give those young
Speaker 1: linebackers time to get acclimated. This was sort of a
Speaker 1: good warm up game for them. As you get ready
Speaker 1: to go through the second half of the season. But
Speaker 1: when you think about that offensive line, although we got
Speaker 1: out of here with a w today, I mean, the
Speaker 1: offensive line was up and down. You know, Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: three sacks, officially hit on a few other occasions. You know,
Speaker 1: they certainly don't want to have that be a theme
Speaker 1: as you get ready to go through the stretch runner
Speaker 1: this season. But I thought all those guys together eventually
Speaker 1: sort of come and came together as a collective unit
Speaker 1: and started to protect better and run the ball better
Speaker 1: in the second half. So the offensive line is always
Speaker 1: going to be the toughest because as a defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: when you know you have a guy like Big V
Speaker 1: in there who's making a start for somebody as important
Speaker 1: as Jason Peters, you're gonna try to load up on
Speaker 1: this offensive line and try to cause confusion. Give San
Speaker 1: Francisco credit, they did that at times today, But for
Speaker 1: the most part, I thought our offensive line held together.
Speaker 1: What I thought was encouraging by the Eagles on offense
Speaker 1: is that, and maybe for the team as a whole,
Speaker 1: is that Carson Wentz wasn't his best today. He was
Speaker 1: not his sharpest, and he was getting all the national acclaim.
Speaker 1: We're hearing the MVP discussion coming off the four touchdown
Speaker 1: performance Monday night. Off on some throws that I held
Speaker 1: the ball too long on some others, but the pieces
Speaker 1: around him on offense, defense, special teams pick him up
Speaker 1: and it's not just a one man show. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what everyone has to realize. Yes, Carson is
Speaker 1: going to get all the headlines, he's going to get
Speaker 1: all the acclaim, but it's not all going to fall
Speaker 1: on his shoulders. Yes, he's got to be the best
Speaker 1: player on the field, but if he's not his sharpest
Speaker 1: like he was today, this Eagles football team can still win.
Speaker 1: And I mean, listen, a little bit of this has
Speaker 1: to be expected. When you have the rain coming out
Speaker 1: consistently throughout the game, it's gonna make it a little
Speaker 1: sloppy on the offensive side of the ball for you,
Speaker 1: you know, the Doug frank Wright, John D. Filippo, they
Speaker 1: suddenly wanted to take their shot through the air when
Speaker 1: it presented itself. They were able to do that. Carson
Speaker 1: missed on a couple of throws, but that's to be expected. Again,
Speaker 1: you're talking about rain, You're talking about new offensive lineman
Speaker 1: in front of him. Here's the thing I love about
Speaker 1: this team. He doesn't have to be at his best,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be games from time to time throughout
Speaker 1: a sixteen game season that you're gonna have to be
Speaker 1: picked up by your teammates. And I thought the defense
Speaker 1: and special teams did a great job of picking up
Speaker 1: the offense while it took the offense a little bit
Speaker 1: time to get themselves going. I thought the defense came
Speaker 1: out and played exceptionally well. This whole game turned around
Speaker 1: off that Jalen Mills pick six that he was able
Speaker 1: to put the Eagles up. I believe seventeen and nothing
Speaker 1: at the time that touchdown. I think they were able
Speaker 1: to feed off of that. But here's the thing. When
Speaker 1: Carson needed to make throws, I thought, for the most part,
Speaker 1: he was able to make them. All Right, what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do now is send it over a little bit.
Speaker 1: We're gonna send it over to a link. But jail
Speaker 1: and Mills, second year cornerback, with the pick six there,
Speaker 1: it was so impressive because he's done this all season long,
Speaker 1: where it seemed like he's re eating the route better
Speaker 1: than the receiver he's covering. Okay, it was an out route.
Speaker 1: He read it perfectly, jumped in front of the ball.
Speaker 1: And he's not the flashiest player. He's not the most
Speaker 1: physically gifted player out there on the fields, not can
Speaker 1: be the fastest corner, but he's so good at recognizing
Speaker 1: what offenses wanted to do to attack him that he's
Speaker 1: able to stick to his receiver. And he's just such
Speaker 1: a sound job tackling as well that he makes it
Speaker 1: tough to be able to attack. Well, here's the thing
Speaker 1: I love about this kid. Hey, he's a classic overachiever.
Speaker 1: It's not that as if he doesn't have any talent.
Speaker 1: He's seventh round draft pick with suddenly he could have
Speaker 1: been a higher draft pick, third round, fourth round if
Speaker 1: it weren't for him off the field stuff prior to
Speaker 1: the draft. And you said he's not the fastest. He's
Speaker 1: not the quickest. But here's what he needs to start
Speaker 1: getting credit for being a smart defensive back. His pre
Speaker 1: snap recognition, studying throughout the week, understanding what an offense
Speaker 1: is trying to do to him as a defense, understanding
Speaker 1: the concept of the coverage that's being called and planned
Speaker 1: to those strengths. If he has outside leverage and he's
Speaker 1: gonna have inside help. Well, that's the way he's going
Speaker 1: to play that wide receiver. He knows if he doesn't
Speaker 1: have any inside help and he needs to use the
Speaker 1: sideline as an extra defender, he's able to do that
Speaker 1: as well. And you can play in this league a
Speaker 1: long time by being an intelligent football player. You don't
Speaker 1: have to be the most physically get the guy, but
Speaker 1: understanding what an offense is trying to do to you
Speaker 1: to expose the defense. That'll carry you a long way
Speaker 1: in this league. And that's what I see when I
Speaker 1: see Jalen Mills. On top of the swagger that he
Speaker 1: plays with which you must have to play that position,
Speaker 1: that confidence is through the roof each and every week
Speaker 1: and certainly came through in a big way today. Now
Speaker 1: we're gonna send it over to the lake for the
Speaker 1: first time in bringing Eagles inside or day. Spadaro Dave,
Speaker 1: how much of an impact did the rain have? We
Speaker 1: obviously here in the studio and didn't get really have
Speaker 1: a feel for it. So being out there on the sidelines,
Speaker 1: what was it like dealing with the elements today? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it had something to do with
Speaker 1: a fairly lackluster offensive performance, but there was no wind.
Speaker 1: The Eagles just didn't really execute offensively. But again, the
Speaker 1: mark of a great team here, and the Eagles are
Speaker 1: getting to that level, aren't they, is that you win
Speaker 1: in a variety of ways. And today the defensive line
Speaker 1: destroyed San Francisco. The defense stepped up until the offense
Speaker 1: kind of cut up of it later in the game.
Speaker 1: But the weather really wasn't nearly as bad as we
Speaker 1: kind of had feared. Yeah. I can remember back at
Speaker 1: oh four Dave when we played two games in the
Speaker 1: middle of our season against inferior opponents. We had to
Speaker 1: go to overtown to beat the Cleveland Browns out in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: and then we won a relatively low s foreign game
Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears right before the bye week. Until
Speaker 1: your point, that's what good teams do. They aren't going
Speaker 1: to play perfect every week, but you have to find
Speaker 1: the way to win. That's what good teams do, and
Speaker 1: that's exactly what this team did today. Yeah, no letdown.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles understood that San Francisco had a
Speaker 1: good defensive front, which clearly show they came after Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz to shut down the Eagles running game until late.
Speaker 1: But the Eagles still are playing with so much energy,
Speaker 1: so much intensity, and they're picking each other up. You know,
Speaker 1: Jake Elliot misses a couple of extra points, they come
Speaker 1: back and block a field goal, the offense not really
Speaker 1: getting in gear until late. The defense picks it up
Speaker 1: and dominates. And then late in the first half the
Speaker 1: interception return, the touch on top of the touchdown past
Speaker 1: Zackertz and it's a blowout game. So yeah, I just
Speaker 1: think this team, really really, it's just is trusting the
Speaker 1: guy next to him. Look, they lose Patrick Robinson, Dexter
Speaker 1: McDougall comes in and does a nice job. Everybody on
Speaker 1: Joe Walker starting into the linebacker, everybody on this roster
Speaker 1: feels like they own a piece of this team, Dave.
Speaker 1: Last week after the Monday Night Wayne Carson Wentz was
Speaker 1: getting all the acclaim. Can Doug Pearson start giving some
Speaker 1: love for what he's done with this football team, getting
Speaker 1: it to seven and one and preparing it for with
Speaker 1: so many tough circumstances that could have maybe thrown the
Speaker 1: team off track this week, getting them ready to play
Speaker 1: and dominating the Niners the way they did. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he's done a triff job. His message is clearly being heard.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of trust in the locker room. He
Speaker 1: always talks about ownership, so the players are certainly responding
Speaker 1: for him. But hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety four Eagles or seven and two, rich Kotite
Speaker 1: was the king of the world, and then they lost
Speaker 1: seven straight games, just saying, I don't think this team
Speaker 1: is like that. They're clearly not built that way. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's done a terrific job letting people leave the
Speaker 1: locker room, letting his veterans leave the locker room, and
Speaker 1: you see the young players following in the veteran's footsteps.
Speaker 1: Dave rich Kotite didn't have the Wentz Wagon at his disposial.
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about Carson's performances day, a little
Speaker 1: bit of up and down. But I thought at Tom's
Speaker 1: he made some big throws, and at Tom's he missed
Speaker 1: a couple of guys to talk about his performance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he missed. He missed Alshan Jeffrey early in
Speaker 1: the game, had that defensive player coming into his chest.
Speaker 1: He had the bad throwing the interception. I wanted to
Speaker 1: see how Carson would handle adverse weather conditions, and I
Speaker 1: thought he did fine. A lot of pressure, you know,
Speaker 1: vity a left tackle, took him a while to settle in.
Speaker 1: The Niners brought a lot of pressure and got to
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. So I would give him a solid B
Speaker 1: for his performance here, and after weeks and weeks of
Speaker 1: eight plus efforts, we look at the score sheet and
Speaker 1: there's two touchdown passes, a two point conversion converted, and
Speaker 1: it touched an interception, So I'll give him a solid
Speaker 1: be all that matters, though it is a W in
Speaker 1: the win column. Davey, you mentioned alshon Jeffrey at the
Speaker 1: two point conversion, but when the Eagles need a big
Speaker 1: play in the second half, he made the contested catch,
Speaker 1: fought off the defender, and made his way into the
Speaker 1: end zone to pretty much put the game out of reach.
Speaker 1: What do you think of Alshan's performance today? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: loved it, and I think that's what we've been waiting
Speaker 1: to see from Alshan. Jeffrey, go up, get that fifty
Speaker 1: fifty ball, show your catch radius, be more physical, box
Speaker 1: out the defensive back. He did it, stayed in bounds,
Speaker 1: shook off the tackler got into the end zone. Great
Speaker 1: sign of hopefully things to come for alshon Jeffrey making
Speaker 1: those big plays down the field. All right, So Eagles
Speaker 1: and tire Day Spadaro, thank you very much. We can't
Speaker 1: wait to reach on the inside coom as well as
Speaker 1: listening to the Eagles Life podcast recapping the win in
Speaker 1: just a little bit, Dave, thank you very much. Thank
Speaker 1: you guys. All right, so we are going to hear
Speaker 1: from head coach Doug Pierson and quarterback Carson Wentzon just
Speaker 1: a little bit. But Ike, coming from the defensive standpoint,
Speaker 1: what did you think of Jim Schwartz's game plan? Ay,
Speaker 1: knowing that Jordan Hicks was not gonna be in the lineup,
Speaker 1: so you have to differentiate between whether or not you
Speaker 1: want to go with the nickel or dimes sub package,
Speaker 1: and then facing a rookie quarterback who is making his
Speaker 1: first career start on the road. Yeah, I thought Jim
Speaker 1: did a nice job of mixing it up. I think
Speaker 1: they brought pressure at the c. J. Beathard at the
Speaker 1: right time. You're talking about a rookie who hasn't seen
Speaker 1: everything yet in this league, so you're going to confuse
Speaker 1: him a little bit, But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: think the game plan not to overreact to not having
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks. You gotta trust the guys that you're coaching
Speaker 1: up weekend and week out. Joe Walker's a guy even
Speaker 1: though he was injured last year, he's in the meeting rooms,
Speaker 1: is in the same defense. He's been here this whole offseason.
Speaker 1: Has taken advantage of the opportunity, although minimum when he's
Speaker 1: been given those opportunities. And I thought today the defense
Speaker 1: really set the tone for this game. They attacked C. J. Bethet.
Speaker 1: I thought the defensive line dominated that offensive line of
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers, and our linebackers were
Speaker 1: flying around today. Michael Michael Kendricks made plays, Nigel Bradham
Speaker 1: made plays. And here's the big thing. You didn't hear
Speaker 1: anything about Joe Walker from a negative standpoint. There were
Speaker 1: no holding calls, there were no pass and offairs things
Speaker 1: of that nature. They got some cheap runs San Francisco
Speaker 1: did hear and there, But for the most part, this defense,
Speaker 1: particularly that defensive front, they were dominating when it came
Speaker 1: to that San Francisco offensive line. So you know the
Speaker 1: mark of a good defensive coordinator is not to overthink
Speaker 1: things in times when you lose somebody, trust your scheme,
Speaker 1: trust your coaching, and then trust your players to go
Speaker 1: out there and execute. And that's what Jeff Schwartz has
Speaker 1: been able to do. He's lost key guys throughout the season,
Speaker 1: whether it be Fletcher Cox, Ron Darby, Ron Brooks in
Speaker 1: the preseas Patrick Robinson to day. You talked about McDougal
Speaker 1: going in the other day he was. He wasn't exposed
Speaker 1: when he had to go in the game. So that's
Speaker 1: the mark of a good defensive coordinator, trusting your players,
Speaker 1: trusting your teaching, and allowing your guys to go out
Speaker 1: there and execute. And that's exactly what they did. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: Like the injuries that the Eagles defense, we could talk
Speaker 1: about the offensive it, but the defense alone has been
Speaker 1: able to overcome this season. You've lost Fletcher Cox at
Speaker 1: times this season, You've lost Jordan Hicks for this season,
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks went down, McLeod was down for a game.
Speaker 1: We talked about the cornerback with Darby and Patrick Robinson
Speaker 1: going down today and this defense is still getting it done. Now.
Speaker 1: What I love about the performance by the defensive line
Speaker 1: today is the star stepped up. Okay, Brandon Graham is
Speaker 1: going against a backup offensive tackle to begin the game.
Speaker 1: The backup gets hurt, and then you have a third stringer,
Speaker 1: Zane Beatles, coming into right tackle and Brandon Graham abuses him,
Speaker 1: gets the sack, applies a pressure on CJ be third
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox dominates the middle of the here of that
Speaker 1: offensive line of the forty nine ers. These are the
Speaker 1: guys who you need to step up and win these
Speaker 1: one on one battles and shine the way they did
Speaker 1: on a weekend a week out basis, I really credit
Speaker 1: the Eel's defensive line for getting to it with the
Speaker 1: forty niners offensive line and winning these battles today. I agree.
Speaker 1: I mean, and we didn't even mention the rookie Derek Barnett,
Speaker 1: who over the last three or four weeks is really
Speaker 1: starting to come on and make his presence spelt out there,
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the snatch that he's getting basically a
Speaker 1: third down pass rusher or an obvious pass the situation
Speaker 1: guy in the Eagles sort of Nascar package. He's out
Speaker 1: there on the field. Had a block field goal today
Speaker 1: and a recovery I mean, that's going to be the
Speaker 1: strength of this defense. Those guys up front, the depth
Speaker 1: that they have, and the fact that when you go
Speaker 1: to that second unit, there's not much of a drop
Speaker 1: off there. There's no disrespect to those guys up that's
Speaker 1: with that first showing it. But when you bring in
Speaker 1: that second unit and you add a Derek Barnette to
Speaker 1: that equation, you add a Chris Long to that equation,
Speaker 1: you don't have much drop off. And that's why this
Speaker 1: Eagle's front has been able to sort of carry the
Speaker 1: load for our defense when we're missing at Jordan Hicks,
Speaker 1: when our secondary, particularly our corners are very green young guys.
Speaker 1: You got Rosal little Douglas out there. You got Jalen
Speaker 1: Mills's only in this second year. When you have a
Speaker 1: front four that can get out of the quarterback and
Speaker 1: disrupt their time and in the pocket, it makes those
Speaker 1: guys on the back end their job a lot easier
Speaker 1: to perform. Indeed, like what we're gonna do now, as
Speaker 1: we're waiting to hear from head coach Doug Pearson and
Speaker 1: send it to the boot, we're gonna present Merll Cam
Speaker 1: presented by Sports Radio ninety four W ip As Merlorys
Speaker 1: and Mike Quick bring you the best calls from today's victory.
Speaker 1: Bethard looks, dumps it over the middle and complete interceptal
Speaker 1: reflections picked off by Rothy mcclowns. The first turnover of
Speaker 1: the game, but a deflection as the past went off
Speaker 1: the hands and into the midsection of mcclown. Beethor takes
Speaker 1: the snap. He's back. He steps up too late. He's
Speaker 1: sacked at this time of his Fletcher Cocks on first down,
Speaker 1: He rolls, looks, fires, complete touchdown. Hurtz has six little
Speaker 1: season made it look easy. Low snap back goes Bostard,
Speaker 1: he fires and it's intercepted. Mills tell the left five,
Speaker 1: he cuts back at the fifteen. He's running Acluster fields.
Speaker 1: He gets a clock, he cuts back. He said pull
Speaker 1: the boots down. Jayle Mills magnificence wins takes the snap.
Speaker 1: He's back. He is floating it for Jeffrey, who hasn't
Speaker 1: on his feet at the ten five touchdown and shock Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: He broke away from Wither's food. Grace uff is always
Speaker 1: from Meryl and Mike, like we were talking about Derek
Speaker 1: Barnett and I love with the cookies are giving this
Speaker 1: Eagles team. Now you mentioned how important that death is
Speaker 1: for this football team. You have Derek Barnett stepping up
Speaker 1: in a big way with the blockfield goal, and he's
Speaker 1: shining more and more each and every week. Were sold
Speaker 1: Douglass out there and making keystops. How about the juice
Speaker 1: at mac collins, the backpack kid brought to the offense
Speaker 1: struggling there in the second quarter, Neil a little spark
Speaker 1: there and two times back to back throws Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: or a two or three players should say, Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: goes to maccollins and trust him enough that he's throwing
Speaker 1: the ball before maccollins is even open. He's throwing him open,
Speaker 1: basically showing that faith in him. And those catches eventually
Speaker 1: led to Zach Ertch's touchdown, which helped give the Eagles
Speaker 1: a bit of breathing room there in the second quarter.
Speaker 1: But overall, I just love what the rookies and this
Speaker 1: draft class have been able to present for the Eagles
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, the guys that have been active, I
Speaker 1: mean you just mentioned the guys, particularly Barnette, Roussel, Douglas
Speaker 1: and Maccollins, even Elijah Qualls and when he had to
Speaker 1: step up and play when Fletcher Cox was out. These
Speaker 1: guys are contributing. You don't forget about Corey Clement, who
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily a draft pick, but an undrafted guy they
Speaker 1: brought in here, and he's certainly contributed over the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Your rookie class is sometimes it's going
Speaker 1: to be tough to see whether or not you feel
Speaker 1: like you got the right guys early in the season.
Speaker 1: You got to get these guys time to get acclimated
Speaker 1: to the NFL, the speed of the game, the understanding
Speaker 1: that this isn't preseason anymore, this is the regular season.
Speaker 1: See the preseason, when you get to go up against
Speaker 1: the second, third, and fourth units, you don't really get
Speaker 1: a clear idea of what it's like to be in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, when you get to the regular season,
Speaker 1: you're playing first teamers all the time, and when you're
Speaker 1: in there, you're the speed of the game is just
Speaker 1: a little fast. And I think as the weeks have
Speaker 1: gone by, he's have contributed more and more. And that's
Speaker 1: the mark of having a good draft. As as your
Speaker 1: season goes along, those guys they start off contributed on
Speaker 1: special teams, and then as injuries present themselves, you start
Speaker 1: to filter them in and you see what they can
Speaker 1: contribute there. I love what Matt Collins has been able
Speaker 1: to do with the opportunity he's been given. Today actually
Speaker 1: was the first time Carson didn't complete a pass to
Speaker 1: Machollands on every target. On that interception play, Mac has
Speaker 1: to do a little bit better job gett in front
Speaker 1: of that receiver being on the same target. But you
Speaker 1: can tell the trust is there with Carson and mac Hoollins,
Speaker 1: and that's not easy to gain when you're a rookie
Speaker 1: wide receiver because sometimes quarterbacks don't know if you're gonna
Speaker 1: run the right routes, if you're gonna be on the
Speaker 1: same page with them in hot reads. To this point,
Speaker 1: Mac Hoollins has been exactly where he needed to be
Speaker 1: every time his number has been called, and more importantly,
Speaker 1: he's made plays. I like the tackle he had also
Speaker 1: on the punk coverage, and that's that's not easy to
Speaker 1: do open field by yourself running down there as the
Speaker 1: gunner being able to make that play on a slippery
Speaker 1: day like this. So when you look at our when
Speaker 1: you look at our young guys. I would say they
Speaker 1: are right on there on the course that they need
Speaker 1: to be on, and I would expect them to contribute
Speaker 1: even more as the season goes along, as we get
Speaker 1: into the second half of this schedule. Well, it's interesting
Speaker 1: about the rookies here is the roles they've had to
Speaker 1: have developed throughout the course of the year. Barnett worked
Speaker 1: his way into the line from day one. You knew
Speaker 1: he was going to be part of that rotation at
Speaker 1: deep defensive end group. They're working with Chris Long. We're
Speaker 1: still up what we're gonna do now and send over
Speaker 1: to the link for the victorious head coach Doug Pearson
Speaker 1: standing by. But this was supposed to be a trap game.
Speaker 1: You seem to put in the trap where you please
Speaker 1: with the overall ever, do you think it came about
Speaker 1: for the Sluggers? You know, anytime, anytime obviously you win
Speaker 1: a game in this league, it's um, it's it's a
Speaker 1: special thing that they're they're hard to come by and
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it's things that we talk about
Speaker 1: during the week that we could just can't have any letdowns,
Speaker 1: and the guys really respond to that, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: pretty much Rain the whole game, and it's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna maybe knock you off just a little bit
Speaker 1: with the with the forecast, with the weather whatever. But
Speaker 1: guys really responded. Um did an outstanding job all game long. Um,
Speaker 1: and and just score thirty three like that. Um, it
Speaker 1: was pretty pretty impressive for them. Put a lot of
Speaker 1: personal cars in, especially in the first fact of what
Speaker 1: were they doing defensive leads to ride over him and
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Well, first of all, it's it's a
Speaker 1: good defense. Um. They are very active on on third down,
Speaker 1: really active on all all downs. Um. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: blitz to us at least rush five on first down,
Speaker 1: brought us safety a couple of times off the edge
Speaker 1: and inside backers a couple of times. And on third
Speaker 1: down is where they can really really get after you.
Speaker 1: And and just created some edges, you know, and some
Speaker 1: short short edges. Um. And uh, you know, we didn't
Speaker 1: execute the protection as well. Um, we got it, got
Speaker 1: it fixed, and we're able to uh, um, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of hold it and piece it together. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, we got to do better
Speaker 1: than that area. Finally hit all shand but was the
Speaker 1: significance of that play. Um significance was just it ended
Speaker 1: up in a touchdown and those two guys, Carson and
Speaker 1: all shann connecting like that. It was as a great
Speaker 1: route from from the jump he was he was being
Speaker 1: pressed and great release and Carson put it right where
Speaker 1: he had too. And that's you know, that's what you
Speaker 1: expect from those two guys to make those types of place.
Speaker 1: Do you think blitz rattle Carson? Do you think that
Speaker 1: he was not a sink? It seemed like he was
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit out of sin until the third
Speaker 1: quarder And if so, do you think you're going to
Speaker 1: see that over and over again until he shows that
Speaker 1: he could be Well, we're seeing blitz quite a bit.
Speaker 1: I think we're probably the number one team offensively that's
Speaker 1: being blissed in the NFL right now. Teams are just
Speaker 1: coming after us, I think, just to probably put pressure
Speaker 1: on Carson and and Um, you know, well we'll continue
Speaker 1: to see it, but uh, you know, we'll continue to
Speaker 1: work at it. Um. You know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it necessarily disrupted um Carson. Obviously it made him move
Speaker 1: around a little bit in the game, but uh, you know,
Speaker 1: later on we were able to fix the protection, He
Speaker 1: used his backs a little bit more out of the backfield,
Speaker 1: and then and then even sometimes the run game, trying
Speaker 1: to keep us in some third and shorter distances. We
Speaker 1: were able to convert. But I think we're four or
Speaker 1: fourteen today and really that's not not good enough for us.
Speaker 1: We gotta get better. You think that you're one of
Speaker 1: the most placed teams in the NFL. Well, I think
Speaker 1: that when you got a quarterback, it's a mobile quarterback. Um.
Speaker 1: With Carson, I think I think there's gonna be some
Speaker 1: added pressure there just to just to get him to
Speaker 1: to move off of the spot. Because they do a
Speaker 1: great job of contain, whether they blitz from the left
Speaker 1: and contain on the right or vice versa. They can
Speaker 1: do that, and um, you know it just it just
Speaker 1: puts pressure on you, and it makes you if you
Speaker 1: can stand back there, and if Carson can stand back
Speaker 1: there and make rhythm throws. Obviously you've seen what he
Speaker 1: can do down the field. So UM, I think we'll
Speaker 1: continue to see, you know, pressure and and uh, we
Speaker 1: just gotta continue to get better. How do you think
Speaker 1: the big did over some of the plans you had
Speaker 1: coming in to help help EASA be to place the
Speaker 1: Jason bats I think initially until obviously until I can
Speaker 1: I could watch the tape, it felt like he played okay. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we went into the game plan uh, into
Speaker 1: the game, um sending him back over his direction a
Speaker 1: little bit, um, you know, and and helping both our tackles,
Speaker 1: but primarily over on the left side. And and uh,
Speaker 1: he settled into the game, did a nice job. Again.
Speaker 1: I'll evaluate the film tomorrow and and get a chance
Speaker 1: to to you know, make the necessary corrections. But I think, uh,
Speaker 1: I think overall he filled in well and and well
Speaker 1: we'll get him ready next week. Again. I saw you
Speaker 1: play for the block field so Dave could come over
Speaker 1: to seem a little automati he spots something, but he
Speaker 1: just ask you and listen to the block. And no,
Speaker 1: we were just discussing, uh possibility there if if they
Speaker 1: were going to go down and score the touchdown a
Speaker 1: little bit early to put the hands team out on
Speaker 1: the field. Just just situational football, you know at that time.
Speaker 1: Nothing nothing out of the ordinary. Let's do that about
Speaker 1: the defense there, what do we have six but four
Speaker 1: sacks and what six or seven three and outs today?
Speaker 1: Something like that. Off the top of my head. I
Speaker 1: mean the way they put pressure on the quarterback. Um,
Speaker 1: just a dominating performance. Starts obviously with the with the
Speaker 1: defensive line, and um, you know, I thought in the
Speaker 1: in the back end they did a great job of
Speaker 1: coverage tackling too. In the open field. There were some
Speaker 1: great tackles in the open field and Michael Kendricks stepped
Speaker 1: up had a couple of you know, PPUs and UM,
Speaker 1: I thought overall it was a great team effort. Today
Speaker 1: players have told you about the player that talked about
Speaker 1: not you know, looking past this team and that you
Speaker 1: know games plays because it was the great toub Niners
Speaker 1: team and the most part they did that today. Are
Speaker 1: you prod of the fact that they kind of stayed
Speaker 1: focused and non turntal of the pass the Niners team. Yeah, completely.
Speaker 1: It's it's a great great locker room, the great leaders
Speaker 1: on this football team, and you know they know how
Speaker 1: to keep the guys focused and uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: talked about it all week. We were coming off of
Speaker 1: that emotional Monday night game to really a relatively short week,
Speaker 1: um physically a short week a little bit, and then
Speaker 1: and then to come out and play and to stay
Speaker 1: in there for four quarters and not overlook this team.
Speaker 1: You know, um is a is a tremendous effort obviously
Speaker 1: by the players in that locker room. And and uh,
Speaker 1: you know that's That's the one thing I've really appreciated
Speaker 1: about our guys is they they just kind of one
Speaker 1: week at a time, one game at a time, and uh,
Speaker 1: they did it again and today are you happy with
Speaker 1: the pass protection from the running backs or at an
Speaker 1: area where you thinking they need to improve a bit? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean we need to get better obviously, um. And
Speaker 1: and you know it starts with it starts with the
Speaker 1: getting the identification of the call and who who we're
Speaker 1: sliding too, and then then I DM that, Um, these
Speaker 1: guys work extremely hard. We keep working every single week
Speaker 1: and then we'll get better. Statistically, Carson didn't have a
Speaker 1: great game. It's the second pews yards, the second words
Speaker 1: pass a ready. However, sometimes the winds at her quarterback.
Speaker 1: It's overlooked. No athlete controls wins and losses in sports
Speaker 1: more than a quarterback. Can you address how he sort
Speaker 1: of managed things today and didn't lose and maybe made
Speaker 1: a few plays too well, I mean, you know too
Speaker 1: with with the weather the way it was. And um,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have games like this and it's just gonna happen,
Speaker 1: and you just find ways to make plays and and
Speaker 1: um you know, um you asked Carson, he's going to
Speaker 1: be disappointed. He didn't hit you know, al Sean in
Speaker 1: the first half and then had a chance uh sellec
Speaker 1: here late in the game. If third thing was the
Speaker 1: third quarter, a chance on it on that throw. And
Speaker 1: you know, there's just some things that he's gonna tell
Speaker 1: you that he's gonna those are the ones he's gonna
Speaker 1: make and and uh, it's gonna happen. Um, But the
Speaker 1: beauty of it is, you know you still put up
Speaker 1: thirty three points and and and that's that's a positive.
Speaker 1: And you found a way to do it. Um took
Speaker 1: all the phases, all three phases again. Um, you know.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, you know, if
Speaker 1: the quarterback in Carson's case, doesn't have the numbers, but
Speaker 1: we win, I'd rather have the win because we can
Speaker 1: fix the other and and get better and move on
Speaker 1: to next week. Carson does a good job. You need
Speaker 1: wide receiving. You seem like you willing to put the
Speaker 1: guys like mack comin. And then how much does that
Speaker 1: help them down it? It's it just helps the overall, Um,
Speaker 1: I think efficiency of the offense. You get these young
Speaker 1: guys in the game, build their confidence a little bit,
Speaker 1: UM in the run game and also in the passing game,
Speaker 1: and get them involved. Um, and and then and then
Speaker 1: you you can you can just mix guys and you
Speaker 1: keep a fresh group of guys in there, speed down
Speaker 1: the field, and UM, they do it. They do a
Speaker 1: nice job. You know when when they get asked to mac.
Speaker 1: You know, the last couple of weeks is um has
Speaker 1: made some big plays. You know, Marcus Johnson's been in
Speaker 1: there a little bit. So we'll keep these guys coming.
Speaker 1: A game where he had a situation we haplying a
Speaker 1: touchdown and then the touchdown in a very short about time,
Speaker 1: he took a different situation. Obviously when you looked about
Speaker 1: the team's ability to recognize a quick striking, that being
Speaker 1: able to divert it. Well, you know a lot of
Speaker 1: times today too, Um, when when we did struggle maybe
Speaker 1: the series before, we elected to go tempo and hurry
Speaker 1: up and and just try to keep that rhythm going
Speaker 1: just a little bit and get us back into the
Speaker 1: flow of the game. And I believe we um, you know,
Speaker 1: Corey started it off, had that big run you know
Speaker 1: in there, and then and then I was able just
Speaker 1: to just to kind of go back on the ball
Speaker 1: and then call a call a shot at that point.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just things that we work on,
Speaker 1: things that we practice. Goes all the way back to
Speaker 1: you know thought as um really and when when we
Speaker 1: start implementing our our tempo offense, and uh, they recognize
Speaker 1: it as players and um, they really want they want tempo.
Speaker 1: I mean, they would probably play tempo the whole game
Speaker 1: if if, if you wanted to. But we try to
Speaker 1: pick our spots and and they executed it well, got
Speaker 1: the cans or anything like that for a while with Carson,
Speaker 1: But one of the two throws that he had two overthrows,
Speaker 1: one to Jeffrey that could have been touchdown and then
Speaker 1: one a little later in the game to sell it.
Speaker 1: It was a pretty wide open What did you have
Speaker 1: a chance to look at those two throws and why
Speaker 1: it was on time? Where were you sitting in the
Speaker 1: press box of flight? Were you dry? I was like
Speaker 1: eighty yards all right now, I mean it happens, it happens.
Speaker 1: I mean, those are those are a couple of throws
Speaker 1: he would rather, he'd want back and he knew it
Speaker 1: and when he let the ball go and um it happens.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's just part of the game.
Speaker 1: But um, those are all the things that we work
Speaker 1: on during the week. And listen, he'll be the first
Speaker 1: to tell you that he should make those throws and
Speaker 1: him he will and he has, so we'll just we'll
Speaker 1: just continue to work and get better to pick six
Speaker 1: opened up the game. Help he Jones lay the whost
Speaker 1: importance of that in playing well. I mean obviously, um
Speaker 1: it starts with the pass rush. You got to generate
Speaker 1: pass rush and put the put the pressure on the
Speaker 1: quarterback and you know, make him, make him drop his
Speaker 1: eyes or move or throw it early or or whatever
Speaker 1: it might be. And Jens Jalen's really playing with a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence, who was one of our young players
Speaker 1: who had the benefit of playing last year as a
Speaker 1: rookie and just really his playing with a lot of
Speaker 1: confidence right now. And that's what you're seeing out of
Speaker 1: our young players. And another great play today, you know,
Speaker 1: Razul almost had one, you know down the left sideline
Speaker 1: there late in the game. So these guys are really
Speaker 1: getting valuable reps. Um. He's a he's a player that
Speaker 1: you know, we lean on to do a lot of things.
Speaker 1: Uh is also physical in the run game, coming up
Speaker 1: and making tackles. But um, playing with a lot of confidence.
Speaker 1: Thank you. All right, there's head coach Doug Pearson, the
Speaker 1: Victoria's head coach, leaving the podium after the Eagles beat
Speaker 1: the forty Nins by a score of thirty three to ten.
Speaker 1: We're gonna wait to hear from quarterback Carson Wentzon hopefully
Speaker 1: just a few moments. But what I loved about Pearson's
Speaker 1: performance today is the play calling adjustments he made throughout
Speaker 1: the course of the game. Early on, he wanted to
Speaker 1: establish the run. You know, the Niers struggle defending a run.
Speaker 1: Come into this game, give up the most rushing plays
Speaker 1: of ten or more yards. Wanted to take advantage of that.
Speaker 1: With the Garrett blunt wasn't working. The Niers were great
Speaker 1: at defending the power run. So he tries to mix
Speaker 1: in the tempo, tries to spark the offense there late
Speaker 1: in the first half, and you see Carson Wentz get
Speaker 1: into a little bit of rhythm, they get the touchdown
Speaker 1: to zach Ertz, and then at the end of the
Speaker 1: game when they need to ice it, he's able to
Speaker 1: go back to the rushing attack once again. Blunt gets
Speaker 1: the last touchdown there for the Eagles and they're able
Speaker 1: to run out the clock and get the dominant twenty
Speaker 1: three point went. Yeah. I mean, when you look at
Speaker 1: the floor of this game, you know, Doug obviously came
Speaker 1: in knowing what the weather was going to be talked
Speaker 1: about wanting to establish the run early. They certainly tried to.
Speaker 1: But then here's also what I like. They made the
Speaker 1: adjustment of, Okay, if San Francisco's going to crowd the
Speaker 1: box box expecting run when the Garrett is in there,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go play action on first down. And there
Speaker 1: were times where they went play action on first down
Speaker 1: and able to hit that slant route on the backside,
Speaker 1: and you pick up six seven yards by throwing the
Speaker 1: ball to either Alishan or throwing the ball to Nelson
Speaker 1: Agalore on first down, making it second and short, putting
Speaker 1: you ahead of the sticks, giving you the opportunity on
Speaker 1: second and three to put the defense in a little
Speaker 1: bit of a quandary. As to how do we defend
Speaker 1: second and short? So there is no one way to
Speaker 1: call a football game. The good coaches in this league,
Speaker 1: the coaches that last long in this league, they're able
Speaker 1: to adjust. They're able to read the situation and figure
Speaker 1: out how do I attack it. And even on plays
Speaker 1: that didn't necessarily succeed, it wasn't because it wasn't a
Speaker 1: good play call. Half the time, those were because it
Speaker 1: wasn't execution. Maybe an overthrow, maybe a block wasn't executed right.
Speaker 1: But I thought Doug called a very good game today.
Speaker 1: He's called a very good game pretty much all year long.
Speaker 1: And as much as we like to talk about the quarterback,
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, he is playing and the MVP level
Speaker 1: should be the front runner for the MVP. But you
Speaker 1: know who should be the front runner for head Coach
Speaker 1: of the year. That's Doug Peterson. I mean, eight straight games,
Speaker 1: his team has come out played well. If not for
Speaker 1: a little bit of a fourth quarter collapse with turnovers
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, this team could very well be a
Speaker 1: no right now. And all the naysayers about Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: his qualifications for being a head coach in this league,
Speaker 1: I don't hear them anymore, Chris, I don't hear those
Speaker 1: people that were talking in the preseason about how Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson seems to be unqualified to be a head coach
Speaker 1: in this league. And I just like what he's done
Speaker 1: from last year to this year. He has gotten better
Speaker 1: like most coaches and players do who are new to
Speaker 1: this league or at a certain position, that once you
Speaker 1: give them a little time, then they can start to
Speaker 1: grow as a coach or as a player. And you
Speaker 1: look at the two most important positions on his team
Speaker 1: from last year to this year, they have taken the
Speaker 1: biggest steps. The head coach and the quarterback has taken
Speaker 1: the biggest steps in their growth ass from last year
Speaker 1: to this year. And that's the reason why his team
Speaker 1: is seven and one. Well, like we were talking about
Speaker 1: this during the press conference, Doug is in a perfect
Speaker 1: position to succeed here in Philadelphia because he could oversee
Speaker 1: the offense and be the CEO of the team. You
Speaker 1: have Jim Schwartz, a phenomenal defensive coordinat Dave pipp who's
Speaker 1: outstanding on special teams, and you have great offensive assistance
Speaker 1: in Frank Reich and John D. Philippo, who is extremely impressive, Jeff. Indeed,
Speaker 1: you have all that together, plus you have great veteran
Speaker 1: leadership in the locker room. Doug does a great job
Speaker 1: of listening to what they have to say. Overall, he's
Speaker 1: in an ideal situation that's allowing him to succeed. And
Speaker 1: credit him for putting those coaches in place, for helping
Speaker 1: work with the players and communicating with them to be
Speaker 1: able to have the best possible situation here in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: But Doug Pearson is a marvelous job getting this team
Speaker 1: to seven to one, And every week it seems like
Speaker 1: there's a different challenge for this football team. And this
Speaker 1: week you had the rain, which could have made the
Speaker 1: whole game a factor. You don't know what'll kind of
Speaker 1: role the weather's gonna play when it's funky like that.
Speaker 1: You lost two key players on your team for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. How is the team going to respond?
Speaker 1: You'll come off the emotional division went over Washington, and
Speaker 1: this was a game where you're facing a winless team.
Speaker 1: Human nature could take over and you have everyone telling
Speaker 1: you how great you are. Carson went should be MVP.
Speaker 1: Eagles are the best team in football, best record, number
Speaker 1: one in the power rankings. You have a team like
Speaker 1: Denver coming up on the horizon. This could have been
Speaker 1: a trap game, and the Eagles did not fall for
Speaker 1: it whatsoever. I'll tell you they will never admit it,
Speaker 1: and north should they. But I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: a little human nature was involved in this game. Listen,
Speaker 1: you're playing an O N seven teams. It's a downpour
Speaker 1: out there. You're Sandy seven. You're coming off two primetime
Speaker 1: games on national television where it doesn't take much to
Speaker 1: get up for those games. You're playing a one o'clock
Speaker 1: game against the West Coast team and you're sandy itself.
Speaker 1: Let's get through this game. Let's beat this team. And
Speaker 1: they got off to a little bit of a sluggish start.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what else, play at nights two weeks
Speaker 1: and having to go to a one o'clock game. Uh,
Speaker 1: in a game where the weather was like this, they
Speaker 1: fall through it though. All right, So arguably the player
Speaker 1: of the Month for the NFC should be announced this week. Carson,
Speaker 1: what's the press conference? So we could get magic? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the weather was really not a big factor,
Speaker 1: you know. I thought flow the game for us. Offensively,
Speaker 1: we were slow. You know, we were sluggish early on,
Speaker 1: and um, they did some good things. Um, I kind
Speaker 1: of limited what we did offensively early on and we
Speaker 1: just had to make some adjustments and stick to our
Speaker 1: game plan. But um, offensively, I know, we gotta be better.
Speaker 1: We gotta be better. And um, starting off sluggish like
Speaker 1: that two straight weeks, we gotta get that cleaned up.
Speaker 1: When you guys get those strikes. What is about this offense,
Speaker 1: even the defensive, but this board on this team over all,
Speaker 1: when they have the ability to find a striker, the
Speaker 1: din overturn the advantage of it. You guys live again today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's huge. That's a that's a huge, huge,
Speaker 1: probably game. Jalen's pick six, I mean that's huge. That's
Speaker 1: a huge momentum swing. And um that's the one thing, Um,
Speaker 1: good teams find a way to win when ball games,
Speaker 1: even when they play play sluggish like we did offensively.
Speaker 1: But um, the ability to have those big plays like
Speaker 1: al Joan's touchdown. M that's just a big part of
Speaker 1: this team. You know, we're a big play team and
Speaker 1: we're gonna need those when the belt to will matter.
Speaker 1: But I thought the belt not one and overlook ser
Speaker 1: franc let's go into a man that they did. That's
Speaker 1: what you mentioned about how wired this team. This typically
Speaker 1: this team is wired. Just look about the week approach,
Speaker 1: one week approach and none bople looking teams. And he
Speaker 1: did it get today? Yeah, I mean that's kind of
Speaker 1: just our approach every week is just go one and
Speaker 1: go one and oh study the tape. I don't get
Speaker 1: caught up in all the outside noise good and bad
Speaker 1: and um, just try and go one and over the
Speaker 1: week and have the same preparation um day and day out.
Speaker 1: And you know, I thought we did that. We just again,
Speaker 1: we're kind of sluggish today, but but we'll be better.
Speaker 1: A teenager now. Bismar was also leather Ple was conditions.
Speaker 1: The conditions weren't bad, honest early when we came out
Speaker 1: pregame warm up, they were. It was raining pretty good.
Speaker 1: But after that the conditions were, in my opinion, kind
Speaker 1: of a non factor. Um. Again, we just offensively, we
Speaker 1: just never really gotten to rhythm from the wrong room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's weird communicating before the play. He was thinking as
Speaker 1: a different route, but I told him right before the snap,
Speaker 1: so we were on the same page, of course, and
Speaker 1: a couple of players pointed to UH in practice these said,
Speaker 1: it's been more competitive this year, more competitive periods. You
Speaker 1: agree with that, and has that made a difference in
Speaker 1: the overall approach for sure? Even going back to OTAs
Speaker 1: and training camp, that was the biggest thing we stressed
Speaker 1: was everything was a was a competition to some extent. Sho.
Speaker 1: We were doing stuff in the weight room competitively, you know,
Speaker 1: out and when we do agility drills or whatever, um,
Speaker 1: and then that would carry over into practice too. So
Speaker 1: that just building that competitive um style of play and
Speaker 1: really everybody, UM, I think it has paid dividends of personally.
Speaker 1: You don't make a compete page always go back rows.
Speaker 1: I can see the like get over. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just it's next next play mentality. Honestly, it's I mean,
Speaker 1: when you when you play this much, you're gonna miss
Speaker 1: some throws and that's um, it kind of takes me
Speaker 1: off right away, but it's just on the next. It's
Speaker 1: on the next, and I know, um, my self, confidence
Speaker 1: in myself, coach sells confidence that that will make the
Speaker 1: throw the next play. And um, again there's there's a
Speaker 1: handful of them tonight that or this afternoon that that
Speaker 1: I definitely want it back, but um, yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: way you go sometimes. What happened on the interceptions, dude,
Speaker 1: where you're looking for Mac Collins, Yeah, Mac and I
Speaker 1: were just not on the same page playing simple and
Speaker 1: um yeah that was a that was a big play
Speaker 1: for their defense, kind of put our defense in a
Speaker 1: hole there. Um, but yeah, we we just gotta be
Speaker 1: on the same page. Would you say about like the
Speaker 1: offensive line play, I mean, the first game without Jason Peters,
Speaker 1: it seems like you were to find it bit But yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta go and watch the tape on that, honestly. Um, again,
Speaker 1: early early on, Sam Fran was doing some different things
Speaker 1: that we weren't necessarily expecting, So um, we just had to,
Speaker 1: you know, make some adjustments to do some different things.
Speaker 1: So I gotta go back and watch the film. But
Speaker 1: you know, I never nothing really jumps out as far
Speaker 1: as Big V's play, So I would I would assume
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. I would assume that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: So we'll go back and watch the tape and evaluate
Speaker 1: that takes the mid partant season. How would you possessed
Speaker 1: with the parts here? Well? Being seven and one you know,
Speaker 1: we like that, you know, we like that. That's a
Speaker 1: good place to be. Um, you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: something we just gotta keep building. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: things that we gotta keep cleaning up. I know personally
Speaker 1: that's the same way, both physically and then mentally with
Speaker 1: some of the protection things tonight. Um, we just gotta
Speaker 1: keep building, keep building. But being seven and one, that's
Speaker 1: a good place to be in the offensively has a
Speaker 1: running a successful onnes today. How much was the connector
Speaker 1: for the running game today, especially given how the turf
Speaker 1: band been and have a little waiful back to the day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Lacare is a big part of this offense,
Speaker 1: you know, every week, and just his running style I think,
Speaker 1: especially in the weather like weather like today, um, bodes
Speaker 1: well for him. Um. And you know he's just he's
Speaker 1: tough to bring down and he makes some some unbelievable plays. Um.
Speaker 1: He's far more athletic than you'd expect for a guy
Speaker 1: his size. So UM, I love I love seeing that
Speaker 1: guy in open field and making guys miss running through tackles.
Speaker 1: And he's just a big part of what we do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go back example, but exactly you know, it's it's been
Speaker 1: having a guy like Al John. You know, I think
Speaker 1: we've we've missed a couple of those, um, throughout this season.
Speaker 1: So when when we finally hit that one to day,
Speaker 1: I was just super excited because I mean, I just
Speaker 1: gotta give that guy a chance to make play sometimes.
Speaker 1: And he did the rest. He went up and got
Speaker 1: that ball, broke some tackles, got in the end zone. Um,
Speaker 1: And that's why he brought him here. We brought him
Speaker 1: here to make those big plays, and I was happy
Speaker 1: for him to make that tonight you go home tonight
Speaker 1: versus Roots. Um, there's there's a handful of them. There's
Speaker 1: a handful of them. Um, I definitely want back and
Speaker 1: again I'll go back and watch the tape and UM,
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd say one in particular. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the interception put us put us in a bad position, um, defensively,
Speaker 1: but um, those are things we got to just keep
Speaker 1: getting ironed out. But yeah, missed at miss handful of them.
Speaker 1: Can you take us through the Zachort's touched on how
Speaker 1: we got that wide open and the bet the end zone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just a it's a great play called great play
Speaker 1: called great play design with the with the rollout. Um,
Speaker 1: we had guys in the flat and so he just
Speaker 1: snuck behind Um snuck behind the linebackers there and he
Speaker 1: was wide open. So it is really really just a
Speaker 1: good play call. Thanks everybody. All Right, there's quarterback Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: and I love how stingy he is about being upset
Speaker 1: about this performance. Okay, this obviously was not his sharpest
Speaker 1: out and whatsoever, and not that he needs extra motivation,
Speaker 1: but you know that he is gonna be focused going
Speaker 1: through the tape because he's gonna want to improve upon
Speaker 1: this performance. Yeah. I love his disposition. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you get a quarterback who is very critical of himself
Speaker 1: and he expects more of himself, that's what you want.
Speaker 1: Because even after a win, you know he's gonna go
Speaker 1: back and look at the things he didn't do well,
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be his focal point this week. He
Speaker 1: won't be over and overly consumed with it, but he'll
Speaker 1: he'll he'll pay attention to it enough that those mistakes
Speaker 1: won't happen again. And like to play with him. Maccollins,
Speaker 1: let's face and I love the fact that he didn't
Speaker 1: throw the young guy under the bus. They'll get that
Speaker 1: worked out this week. Young fella needs to be in
Speaker 1: the right place, needs to be on the same page
Speaker 1: with the quarterback because guess what, I don't think Carson
Speaker 1: Winch didn't know where the ball was supposed to go.
Speaker 1: But that's something that he's gonna work on to get
Speaker 1: better at. And that's why this team is in good
Speaker 1: hands as long as he's lining up on the center
Speaker 1: and he trusts maccollins. Yeah, he wants mccollins to develop
Speaker 1: and beat a vocal point of this offense, someone who's
Speaker 1: going to help out Again that drive in the second
Speaker 1: quarter where he went to Hollins twice on on the
Speaker 1: one throw, hows is not even open yet and he's
Speaker 1: already throwing the ball. He trust this rookie wants to
Speaker 1: go to him. So he just gotta work on those
Speaker 1: finer details. And it was also nice to see Aliston
Speaker 1: Jeffrey get the ball as much as he did, throwing
Speaker 1: his way to the eight total targets. Of course, the
Speaker 1: big touchdown which put the Eagles over the top for good.
Speaker 1: Really nice to take advantage of that weapon. That's why
Speaker 1: the Eagles brought in all these pieces around Carson to say,
Speaker 1: if you're not having the best day, go throw it
Speaker 1: to a guy who's sixty three with this immense catch
Speaker 1: radius and you'll be able to make some of those
Speaker 1: big plays come to fruition. So, speaking of Mac Collins,
Speaker 1: I think great details played. Just a little bit more
Speaker 1: in our Rico review after this break. But however, if
Speaker 1: you're following us on Facebook or Twitter, we're gonna cut

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the postgame Show presented by Rico so Ike.
Speaker 1: All your family watching the show on Facebook today, make
Speaker 1: it back over to Philadelphias dot com to watch the
Speaker 1: rest of the Show's right there. Watch on social media,
Speaker 1: but you gotta be here on the app or the
Speaker 1: website to check out the rest of the show. It's
Speaker 1: funny how we're kind of critiquing the Eagle's offense today
Speaker 1: and they certainly had its ups and downs, but still
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, thirty three points. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: the only team in the league to have at least
Speaker 1: twenty in every game this season. In fact, they have
Speaker 1: twelve straight performanceives of twenty points or more dating back
Speaker 1: to last season. It's the longest streak in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Another thirty point effort here today from the Eagles in
Speaker 1: the game where they didn't play their best. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think we can all rest assured that we don't need
Speaker 1: to be awakened from our sleep as if we're dreaming. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is a good football team that has a high ceiling. Sure,
Speaker 1: we got another half a season to play, eight more
Speaker 1: games to play, and you certainly got to maintain this
Speaker 1: level a play that they've had through the first half.
Speaker 1: But sure, man feels good to have a team like
Speaker 1: this plan the way that they're playing, and to have
Speaker 1: a team that isn't so much dependent on one player
Speaker 1: on one side of the football to carry them week
Speaker 1: in and week out. We talked about the offense been
Speaker 1: a little sluggish to start off this game, but the
Speaker 1: deep end certainly showed up to day and I was
Speaker 1: certainly impressed with the interception retired by Jalen Mills. You know,
Speaker 1: I get an interception that I'm going down because I'm
Speaker 1: afraid I'm gonna turn the ball over, right, But those
Speaker 1: dbs when they get the ball in their hands, they
Speaker 1: want to score. And I like Jalen Mills on that
Speaker 1: interception retiring did a nice job setting up his blocks
Speaker 1: and then getting in the end zone. He was hunting
Speaker 1: for that end zone, and that's that's a nice job.
Speaker 1: A little alone secret here, Chris Okay, I predicted Jalen
Speaker 1: Mills would have a Friday on the show before we
Speaker 1: went off. I said, where by Jalen Mills? I like that.
Speaker 1: You know who's on the cover of the Game Name
Speaker 1: magazine saw the Green Goblins just just meshes together perfectly.
Speaker 1: All right, So we've heard from Doug Pearson, we've heard
Speaker 1: from Carson Wentz. Now let's go into the film room
Speaker 1: and break down exactly how the Eagles got this win.
Speaker 1: It's time to go to the Rico whiteboard for the
Speaker 1: Rico Review with Greg Cosell and Fran Duffy. All Right,
Speaker 1: so it's a three nothing game. The Eagles offense has
Speaker 1: the ball. They take a sack in plus territory, so
Speaker 1: now they're in, they're behind the sticks. They come up
Speaker 1: with a huge play in the passing game to mac
Speaker 1: Hans showing what you see here? Yeah, well, Matt Collins,
Speaker 1: it's really important here he's up here, now, Noice, how
Speaker 1: close he is to the offensive tackle. That's what we
Speaker 1: call a split. That's absolutely critical because the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers are playing cover three. So when cover three, the
Speaker 1: corner is normally outside to begin with, he's what we
Speaker 1: call an outside leverage corner. But with this minus split
Speaker 1: by Hollands, that's even more important because now the corners responsible,
Speaker 1: as you drew Fran, that entire third of the field.
Speaker 1: So what this does is it sets up in Hollands
Speaker 1: runs a great route because he actually widens the corner
Speaker 1: even more, and that is so critical because that's what
Speaker 1: you're trying to do. You're trying to widen him before
Speaker 1: you break inside. Because here's what you're trying to do
Speaker 1: on this route, create as much space as possible between
Speaker 1: the corner and the deep safety. That's exactly what you're
Speaker 1: trying to get accomplished here. And now we can actually
Speaker 1: run this. This is what we call a skinny post.
Speaker 1: But this is so good by Carson Wentz because if
Speaker 1: you freeze it right there, what you're going to see
Speaker 1: here just a tad later is perfect. But what you're
Speaker 1: going to see here, you see where Hollands is. He
Speaker 1: hasn't even begun his break. Carson Wentz is looking there
Speaker 1: now because he just knows that that deep safety is
Speaker 1: not going to be a factor. Winz is going to
Speaker 1: throw this ball way before Hollands makes his break, because
Speaker 1: this is skinny post timing, and it's really five step
Speaker 1: drop timing. There's Carson here, and actually, if we show
Speaker 1: this now and run it, you'll see exactly when this
Speaker 1: ball is thrown, Hollands has not yet even begun his break.
Speaker 1: When this ball is thrown. That is high level execution
Speaker 1: by both Hollands with his route and Carson Wentz throwing
Speaker 1: the ball and of course this leads to a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, quite a few plays later they able to
Speaker 1: punch the ball in. And what the other big thing
Speaker 1: that helped in that play as well was the formation
Speaker 1: she had that three by one set. That high safety
Speaker 1: automatically is going to seat a little bit more to
Speaker 1: that three receiver side. So having Carson be very disciplined
Speaker 1: with his eyes makes a great anticipation, throw, great route
Speaker 1: for mac Hollands. It really helps set up this play
Speaker 1: which is at now down inside the five yard line
Speaker 1: of passing and put them right on the goal line
Speaker 1: here and just a simple preestap motion. This is a
Speaker 1: very run heavy look right now to run backs in
Speaker 1: the game. We're gonna let this run and you're gonna
Speaker 1: see they're gonna send Corey Clement out into motion. We're
Speaker 1: gonna stop it right there. You're gonna see what happens
Speaker 1: here with this San Francisco defenses. Now they're pointing out
Speaker 1: assignments and they're a little bit confused about what they're
Speaker 1: seeing and that creates a bust. Yeah, it absolutely does.
Speaker 1: Because what you have is you have two running backs.
Speaker 1: Obviously there's no fallback. You have Smallwood now in the backfield,
Speaker 1: Clement right there, and they're a little confused head of
Speaker 1: place because now what you do is actually have three
Speaker 1: receivers to the same side, because there's Zach Gertz right there.
Speaker 1: So now Zax is gonna run a little corner route
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get a little kind of sit route
Speaker 1: crow route, and you're gonna get Smallwood working in the flat.
Speaker 1: This is a basic three man route combination in the
Speaker 1: red zone. Everybody runs this, but you see the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. They get lost here. They lose zach Ertz,
Speaker 1: the last guy you'd figured they lose, but they lost
Speaker 1: zach Ertz, and it's an easy touchdown throw for Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: But the design of the play caught the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: So you get some great execution there on the big
Speaker 1: play to Mack Hollins, and then some nice disguise. The
Speaker 1: pre snap motion there helps confuse the San Francisco defense
Speaker 1: creates a touchdown. That design was certainly something else. Thanks
Speaker 1: Greg and Fran, and we can't wait to see the
Speaker 1: full All twenty two review tomorrow morning. Here on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot Com and the Eagles app. So we got
Speaker 1: two questions for you. First and foremost, who's a Toyota
Speaker 1: player the game? We're gonna let you know the nominees
Speaker 1: after this break. And then what did the Eagles have
Speaker 1: on the horizon? A big AFC showdown with the Deniver Broncos.
Speaker 1: We're gonna preview all that after this final break here
Speaker 1: on the postgame show presented by Rico, Come and see
Speaker 1: what's happening. It's your local Acne Butter sale prices, superior

Speaker 1: and there's no minimum balance. You're all right, it's simply
Speaker 1: right checking from Santon deir Bank. Now is your chance
Speaker 1: to vote for the Toyota Player of the Week. Go
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia Eagles dot com slash Toyota Player of the
Speaker 1: Week to cast your vote and get a chance at
Speaker 1: a brand new Toyota. So who are the nominees. We're
Speaker 1: gonna start with number seventeen, al Sean Jeffrey, who had
Speaker 1: a two point conversion early. But when the Niners showed
Speaker 1: a little bit of signs of life and you were thinking,
Speaker 1: don't allow San Francisco to get back in this ball game.
Speaker 1: Eagle's offense was struggling. Nine ers weren't starting to thrive
Speaker 1: a little bit, had some momentum going in their direction.
Speaker 1: After the Matt free to touchdown, al Sean Jeffrey with
Speaker 1: a big touchdown reception for fifty three yards. This is
Speaker 1: the reason he was brought here for these contested catches
Speaker 1: and using that big bite to finish off for the score.
Speaker 1: Ye the ball that he likes to go up and get.
Speaker 1: He's one of the best in the game. When given
Speaker 1: that opportunity, and it's been a little bit of a
Speaker 1: slow start for um. I just love his disposition all
Speaker 1: year man. He's been a great teammate, been a great
Speaker 1: locker room guy. Isn't begging for the football like we
Speaker 1: know diva wide receivers can deal, goes out and does
Speaker 1: his job weekend and week out, and the numbers will come.
Speaker 1: Hopefully this is more to come in the second half
Speaker 1: of the season. He's made some of the biggest players
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, I go back to a Giant's
Speaker 1: game in a nineteen yard to set up the sixty
Speaker 1: one yard field goal by Jake Elliott. That's probably the
Speaker 1: turning point of the entire season right there. So obviously
Speaker 1: we all were expecting a monster season eighty catches, you know,
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen hundred yards, fifteen touchdowns. It's not going to
Speaker 1: be those type of numbers because Carson Wentz doesn't force
Speaker 1: to fall to him. But Carson knows that when he
Speaker 1: needs a big play to be made, he's got to
Speaker 1: go to now Sean breaking up that hell marry there
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half as well, our
Speaker 1: second candidate defensive tackle Fletcher Cox had to sack in
Speaker 1: the game today, so disruptive in the middle of the defense.
Speaker 1: Basically the Niners had to go away from the middle
Speaker 1: trying to get anything going. They were running Carlos hide
Speaker 1: off the edges to try to get some movement in
Speaker 1: the run game. Fletcher Cox dominating the middle of the field,
Speaker 1: nothing overly flashy, just doing his job there to keep
Speaker 1: things out of his way and to allow the linebackers
Speaker 1: to come free and get to the football. Egg. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, his stats line will never tell the true
Speaker 1: story of the impact Fletcher Cox is having on a game.
Speaker 1: You mentioned he's in that inside where times he's gonna
Speaker 1: be double team every once in a while, if you're
Speaker 1: single blocking, that's what's gonna happen. He's gonna get to
Speaker 1: the quarterback or he's gonna get to that running back
Speaker 1: in the backfield. And there isn't an offensive line that
Speaker 1: doesn't want to account for number ninety one every time
Speaker 1: that defense lines up in front of him. So Fletcher Cox,
Speaker 1: his his importance can't be quantified by stats. You have
Speaker 1: to look at the game and watch the impact he's
Speaker 1: having on others around him, as well as how defenses
Speaker 1: are trying to key in to make sure they know
Speaker 1: where he's at it all times. I just love watching
Speaker 1: these highlights over and over again of him dominating the
Speaker 1: middle of the field. Last, but not least, cornerback Jail Mills,
Speaker 1: mister pick six himself, we've talked about throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the show, but the route recognition he showed getting
Speaker 1: to the ball and then setting up the blocks to
Speaker 1: make his way into the end zone. He started out
Speaker 1: his football career in high school as a wide receiver
Speaker 1: and he wanted to be a wide receiver because his
Speaker 1: older brother was a defensive back and he didn't want
Speaker 1: to be like his brother. Okay, but Aaron Fletcher, his
Speaker 1: high school position coach, basically it was like, look, if
Speaker 1: you want the challenge, you should come here and try
Speaker 1: to be better than your brother. And not only that,
Speaker 1: you know how easy it is to play receiver. Try
Speaker 1: to do everything that a receiver does backwards and basically
Speaker 1: put the gauntlet down for Jail Mills. And that's how
Speaker 1: he went to the defensive side of the football. And
Speaker 1: the Eagles got absolute steel in the draft in the
Speaker 1: seventh round. And if you see just how impressive of
Speaker 1: a young man he is. Watched this week's unscripted because
Speaker 1: we showcase his Combine interview from the twenty sixteen draft
Speaker 1: exclusive access there. And you know, ever since he's a
Speaker 1: Roger Philadelphia, he's had the mindset that he was gonna
Speaker 1: win a job on this football team, and he's elevated
Speaker 1: himself through the ranks and is now not just a starter,
Speaker 1: but a playmaker for this Eagles defense. Like, yeah, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite players. I'll admit it. You know, I
Speaker 1: root for this guy because he's an underdog and the
Speaker 1: fact that he doesn't really necessarily view himself as an underdog.
Speaker 1: You know, he was a seventh round draft pick, but
Speaker 1: he's always felt he belonged and you know, you talked
Speaker 1: to Jamon Mills and none of this stuff it's too
Speaker 1: big for him. And I think that's what impressed me
Speaker 1: the most, regardless of the receiver he's going out there,
Speaker 1: the face. I remember last year he had to go
Speaker 1: up against Julio Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, his former teammate
Speaker 1: at LSU. He likes to talk about planning at SEC
Speaker 1: and playing for LSU and the amount of good receivers
Speaker 1: he's a customed to going up against in practice or
Speaker 1: on Saturdays in college, and that's why he isn't overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by anything that you throw in front of him. Plays
Speaker 1: with supreme confidence, understands the game, understands the defense, the
Speaker 1: concepts of the defense, and probably the more important trait
Speaker 1: that he has he has a short term memory. If
Speaker 1: you catch a ball on him, he's not gonna get down.
Speaker 1: His confidence remains high and I think his future is right.
Speaker 1: And let's face it, he might have the best hairdo
Speaker 1: in the league. That green hair, the nickname the Green
Speaker 1: Goblin playing for the Eagles. This is truly one of
Speaker 1: my favorite He's embraced it, He's embraced everything that's come
Speaker 1: along with it. So now it's time you know why
Speaker 1: I want you on to vote for exactly yes. So again,
Speaker 1: go to Philadelphi Eagles dot com slash Toyota Player of
Speaker 1: the Week to cash your vote and you'll have a
Speaker 1: chance at a brand new Toyota. But I think Jalen
Speaker 1: Mills is the winner this week. So now it's time
Speaker 1: to look at the Eagles upcoming schedule. Presented by NFL
Speaker 1: Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster. For the only one verify
Speaker 1: way to buy or sell NFL tickets, visit NFL ticket
Speaker 1: Exchange dot Com. So the Eagles they face the Denver
Speaker 1: Broncos next week. Okay, so half of the season. In
Speaker 1: the books, eCos are seven to one. They get the
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos at home to conclude the three game homestand
Speaker 1: and then they get the buy and then Sunday night
Speaker 1: gets the Dallas Cowboys. With the Broncos, it should be
Speaker 1: noted that they play Tomorrow night in an emotional AFC
Speaker 1: West Division game on the road. So it's short week.
Speaker 1: They're going on the road for Monday night. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to come to Philadelphia for this Sunday's game. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough sledding for the Broncos, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a big showdown. That's one I think fans
Speaker 1: have had a circle on the calendar for quite some time.
Speaker 1: I tell you, look at this, this remaining schedule, CMAC,
Speaker 1: and it's about to get fun. Yes, I mean meaningful
Speaker 1: games over the next two months November December playoff jockey
Speaker 1: in for the whole league. I look at that schedule.
Speaker 1: There is in an easy game there. Don't overlook those
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears coming in a young team with a young quarterback,
Speaker 1: but a defense that comes to play every week. I
Speaker 1: think they did a nice job against the Saints to
Speaker 1: day down there in New Orleans. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they won the game, but I know their defense play well.
Speaker 1: Next week's game against the Broncos, this will be an
Speaker 1: interesting game for him. We don't get to see the
Speaker 1: Broncos very often. That's a very good defense. This could
Speaker 1: be one of those games where the team that takes
Speaker 1: care of football the best will probably be the team
Speaker 1: that comes away with the victory. Because Diver is used
Speaker 1: to playing in low scoring games, their offense doesn't put
Speaker 1: up a ton of points. They rely on that defense
Speaker 1: to take the ball away from you at times. So
Speaker 1: it will be a nice little matchup. Our offense, which
Speaker 1: I believe is one of the top five in the
Speaker 1: league when it comes to scoring points, and then their defense,
Speaker 1: which is always good year in the year out. This
Speaker 1: will be a nice matchup. Next week, the Eagles have
Speaker 1: to figure offensively how to protect against the Plintz. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the biggest thing. Everyone's gonna watch this
Speaker 1: tape and see the success the Niners head and say
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring the pressure on Carson Wentz Okay, he's
Speaker 1: doing a phenomenal job of geting out trouble this season,
Speaker 1: finding the hot route. But we're gonna bring the pressure.
Speaker 1: We want the second year guy to beat us again.
Speaker 1: He should be I jumped on me earlier. He should
Speaker 1: be named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Month for
Speaker 1: October one. That's announced later this week, as this is
Speaker 1: the final weekend for the month of October for NFL games.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, just so many interesting subplots. But again, the Eagles,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be seven to one. Everyone's gonna have them
Speaker 1: number one in the power rankings after steamrolling the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. This is the litmus tess, This is the
Speaker 1: statement game. This is where they see how far they've come.
Speaker 1: Going against a perennial AFC power like the Denver Broncos,
Speaker 1: with the defense that Denver is going to bring to Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a full one. And I know fans
Speaker 1: are going to be juiced up all week long forward.
Speaker 1: So how much fun a you're gonna have on the
Speaker 1: show this week? Chris Carlin ten to two. He's been
Speaker 1: boring every week, Man, get out of here. Now it'll
Speaker 1: be fun man two to six, make sure you ip
Speaker 1: we're talking about another victory. This never gets out and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this. What eight more copy and paste?
Speaker 1: Either talk about another one this week? Copy of past,
Speaker 1: over and over, gon do it again tomorrow. We'll do
Speaker 1: it all week. We'll get ready for a big one
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday against the Broncos. All right, head coach
Speaker 1: Doug Pearson's day after press conference, we will carry at
Speaker 1: live at noon for you tomorrow here on Philadelphia Eals
Speaker 1: dot com and the Eagles App, and you'll want to
Speaker 1: watch Eagles three sixty with Dave Spener and Brian Westbrook.

Speaker 1: as well as the Eagles Live podcast. And we have
Speaker 1: great content for you coming up the rest of the
Speaker 1: evening here. So we're gonna get to it. That's gonna
Speaker 1: do it for us here on the postgame Show presented
Speaker 1: by Rico for right, Grease, I'm Chris McPherson. Folks, have
Speaker 1: a great Eagles night,
