Your final score is 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:12.280 the Eagles get back in the win column on the 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:14.600 road against Buffalo. Thanks for joining us on the postgame 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.200 show presented by Rico fran Duffy I Greece, Amy Campbell. 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:19.840 I love having both of you here at the top 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:21.560 of the show and we get to talk about a 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:23.439 win today. Guys. I'm pumped for this. We said it 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.200 coming in. The run game was going to be key 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.520 with this weather going on. The Eagles really good it 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:29.800 done on the ground and through the air. But two 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.000 hundred and eighteen rushing yards. Original thoughts or initial thoughts 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.760 and original thoughts from this one, well, just my initial thoughts. 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.440 It is just how dominant the run game was today 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.640 and it's really what you needed on the road in 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.519 the type of weather that they were going to be 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.800 playing in today. You really needed to run the ball 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.960 effectively today, not really have to put the ball in 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:52.960 Carson's hands to have to throw the ball thirty to 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.320 forty times a day. So that's my first impression coming 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.880 away from this game is just how dominant the offensive 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.639 line played the day and those running backs behind them. 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.640 Jordan Howard, what a job today with him running in 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.119 between the tackles, Miles Sanders finally out in that open 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.200 space able to take one of those big plays and 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.120 turn it into a touchdown for his first career rushing 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.759 touchdown today. Just a dominant effort really by that offensive line. 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.920 I thought the defensive line also was excellent against the run. 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.800 You twenty nine eight in this game. The Buffalo offense 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.120 rushing the football, but keep in mind how much that 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.840 came from Josh Allen, the quarterback, so that wasn't necessarily 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.880 run defense. I think the Buffalo Bills they came in 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.120 wanting to run the football, just like the Eagles in 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.840 this game. But the defensive line with new players of 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.160 defensive tackle, young linebackers, were able to stop the run, 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.080 which was big. Yeah. Yeah, Buffalo only rushing for ninety 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.640 eight yards in this one night. Yeah, really impressive brand 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.800 that defense today, undermanned not having their starters in there 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.000 and keep positions in the front seven. Real nice job. 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.440 But those guys coming up today doing a real nice 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.600 job coming downhill making tackles. When you're playing whether like 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.200 the day, you're kind of worried about whether and not 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.800 tackling will be an issue I thought the down linebackers 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.000 Nate Gary flying around everywhere out there to day really 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.000 made some plays. Yeah. Yeah, you talk about you know 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.040 the big numbers that jump out. We're looking at this one. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.040 The time of possession Eagles thirty five minutes to Buffalo's 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.400 twenty four almost thirty six there for the Eagles. When 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.360 the run game is working, you're able to control the 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.920 clock like that, you give your defense a break a 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.600 little bit more as well, and they're able to kind 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.440 of have that energy through the end of the game. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.240 Buffalo's defense at the end of the game was kind 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.399 of gas to me. Yeah, And there were multiple turnovers 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.040 from the offense in this game, so we're able to 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.680 hold on to the football. Possessing the ball allows you 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.880 to be a little bit more creative. It allows we're 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.720 just more balls to go around. If you're not turning 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.360 the ball over in your own end to start the 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.520 game like last week, and you're able to sustain drives, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.880 that will gives you a lot more flexibility to be 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.720 able to do what you want to do, what you 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.480 plan to when your game plan in the week of practice, 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.160 throughout the course of the game, and the Eagles we're 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.880 able to go out and execute today. I know, coming 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.440 into this when we talked about how there was going 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.520 to be pressure on the linebacking core. What did you 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.359 see from them today, friend, Well, they were able to 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.160 make plays. Gary was playing sideline to sideline against a 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.160 couple of backs that are elusive and decisive. You know, 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.560 Devin Singletary, you look at what he's done as a rookie. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.639 He's made some big plays, but he's also been very 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.120 confident carrying the football. Frank Gore is timed and tested 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:14.880 as one of the best to ever do it. So 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.760 the Eagles were able to shut these guys down. It's 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.679 an offensive line that wants to be able to move 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.000 the football, move people off the football. So I thought 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.480 that the front seven really came back and responded very 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.440 well today. Yeah, Brandon Graham, what a big game by 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.880 BG today, Just all over the field, forcing turnover, is 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.560 getting at the Josh Allen, big quarterback, difficult to bring down, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.200 knows he likes to run the ball as well when 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.360 he gets out on the perimeter. I thought Brandon just 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.680 showed up time at the time Fletcher as well. He 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.240 and Fletcher, I thought they were all over the field today. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.640 I mean that first three and out for the Buffalo Bills. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.640 Fletcher made that stop on a run play on second down. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.840 They came up with the strip sack on third down, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.840 so very early on he had an idea of what 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.240 you guys are gonna get from the Seagles defensive line. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.560 BG obviously coming up with that huge turnover at the 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.280 end of the first half, it was great to see 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.920 the defensive line come out basically dominate in this game. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.040 That was huge for the for the win, especially when 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.320 you talk about wanting to see the veterans responding to 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.760 the adversity, and we saw that, especially from Fletcher, especially 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.920 from Brandon Graham. And you talk about Josh Allen getting 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.839 things done on the ground. He was the Bills leading 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:19.360 rusher today forty five yards on eight carries. There led 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.400 his own team in rushing, which is kind of not 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.280 what you want if you're the offense. But he really 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.440 does continue to develop in the Eagles defense a great 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.600 job of shutting him down. He's just so strong in 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.960 a way. I talk about, how, you know, comparing him 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.120 to a Cam Newton coming into the game, and he's 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.920 very very similar in a lot of the ways that 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.040 he's able to have success. So yeah, he's going to 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.720 have his plays where he breaks away from the Eagles defense. 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.200 The tackling wasn't always great today. Slippery conditions out there 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.400 allowed those guys to be able to make plays through contact. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.040 But overall, I thought the defense really showed up in 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:49.640 a game look where they needed to show up. The 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.440 Eagles need to come out of this game with a win, 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.560 and they were able to come through after everything happened 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.960 this past week. The resiliency of this group I thought 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.520 was really impressive. And the best part was your stars 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.400 showed up. They led by Exa Apple Malcolm making plays 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.719 out there today. We talked about Fletcher and Brandon Graham. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.880 Those are the guys that you needed to step up 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.560 if you were going to get a victory today. When 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.920 I look at this game today, all the key players 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.560 for the Eagles, in my opinion, they're veteran players that 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.479 you needed to have a big game today. They all 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.120 came to play. Alishan Carson had a good game today, 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.919 Jordan Howard showed why you traded for him in the offseason, 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:23.880 and then we talked about the guys on the defensive 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.240 side of the ball having to come and step up. 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.160 And play today. This Buffalo Bills team, they were using 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.000 this game as a measuring stick for themselves. You know, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.440 they come into this game five and one, but they 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.800 know the Eagles reputation. In fact, they won the Super 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.040 Bowl two years ago. The toughest test came against New England. 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.600 They fell short in that game, and they felt this 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.960 game would be a game that they could truly find 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.000 out whether they stand at in the NFL. And to 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.320 the Eagles credit, this was a tough game to go 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.200 up there and have to win. I mean I played 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.520 up there at Orchard Park. That is not an easy 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.320 place to go up there and play. And when they 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.279 are rolling like they had been this season, it makes 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.920 it even more different, especially with that wind going. And look, 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.800 you talk about guys like Malcolm Jenkins, guys like Jordan Howard, 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.560 two players who were the players who watch from Merrill 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.120 reason might quick before the game. Let's see, yuh what 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.159 kind of game they had. Here's Merrill kim my favorite 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.479 part of our show, Alan trying to get the Eagles 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.880 off side with a hard count. They don't budge. He 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.920 goes back, he looks the footballer is loose and it 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.000 is picked up by think by Alan. Let's see he 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.880 was hit on the play by Fletcher Cox. Wins takes 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.599 the snap and he's back, he's looking. He dumps it 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.679 out the Sanders, who comes across the forty five, runs 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.280 to the forty trying to get to the outside, does 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.640 thirty five thirty twenty five and out of bounds up 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.640 big bills twenty three yard line goes Miles Sanders and 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:50.000 what a great play, twenty seven yards. Alan calling for 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.640 the football. He's going to run and he is tripped 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.159 up and the footballer is loose, and let's see, I 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.279 think the Eagles have it. I think you're right. I 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.720 think the Eagles have it. Second, the two wentz under 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:06.239 sound hosting them the near side. Lentz pumps, looks fires 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:11.120 touchdown Eagles. He's got his man. He wanted tell Us 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.960 Scuttar and he was open on the Eagles take fullya win. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.040 Hts it off again and running up the middle, picking 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.720 up a first down and more at the forty thirty 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.760 five thirty at Sanders twenty five twenty fifteen ten five touchdown. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:30.240 Biles Sandows his first NFL rushing touchdown. Mouse sander Is 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.080 just breaks off the left side and he out runs everybody, 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.800 leaving all of the blue shirts in his week for 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.160 his first NFL touchdown. We have been waiting for that 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.200 to happen. He's so explosive for They're bringing in big 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.880 V on one side, Boston Scott. Boston Scott is in 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.000 the backfield. Lents under center gives the Boston Scott and 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:58.239 he spins and he's in touchdown. Boston Scott. Boston Scott 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:03.880 another first, his first rushing touchdown on second down when 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.680 almost slipped, let's tax it, get it off the Howard 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:13.000 again up the middle, touchdown, Eagles, Howard up the middle 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.880 for a touchdown. Boy. Yeah, six twelve to go and 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:21.760 the Eagles are up thirty to thirteen. That's awesome, really exciting. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.320 I'm hearing some of you. Producer Melissa's telling me some 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.160 of you are asking about my jacket, some compliments, Thank 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.880 you very much. I got it last year at the 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.880 Eagles Pro Shop. But really, guys, I'm just trying to 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.080 keep up with like Jaylen Mills, Malcolm Jay, this team 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.000 is so swaggy. I'm just I'm just trying to keep up, 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.600 actually doing a good job of it. Keep up with YouTube. Okay, 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.400 look at I mean this Blazers. Really I love the 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:46.920 little pink think touch over now, Yeah, that's a victory series. 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.440 In the victory suit, I am feeling that. All right, 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.960 let's get into your three takeaways from this one. Suit 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.640 is not as sharper. To run game was, Okay, that's 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.280 my first takeaway. The run game dominant. I mean two 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.640 hundred yards rushing. Not since that Green Bay Packer game 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.120 have we seen the run game look this good. And 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.360 really everybody to touch the ball was successful running the 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.000 ball today. Boston Scott got his first touchdown, to get 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.679 three rushing touchdowns from three different guys, Sanders, Scott, and 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.320 Jordan Howard who led the way rushing the ball today 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.160 was phenomenal. And then I think even Carson in the 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.560 running game and him being able. You know, I think 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.840 Doug called a quarterback drawn third and ten on one 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.720 play and he actually picked up eleven yards on the play. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.959 So just the run game all the way around, offensive line, 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.120 fantastic job. Two hundred and eighteen yards, the best team 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.080 rushing performance under Doug Peterson since he's been with the Eagles. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.079 Who's the meal downs at the end of the game too, 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.079 which I hate that's that you take six attempts. Out 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.040 of that, the average goes back up. You got six 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.679 yards of the total, But no, they were outstanding. You 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.640 mentioned Carson Wentz. I think we got to talk about 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.800 his performance in this game too, because he was very 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.360 efficient with the football, took care of it, also knew 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.920 when to run and went to check down, when to 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.240 throw the ball away, was very very smart in the 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.040 inclement weather against a tough defense that's not allowed a 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.160 big play all season. I thought it was a really 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.800 big performance here from number eleven. Yeah, Carson Wentz eight 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.439 carries for thirty five yards average four point four yards 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.839 to carry the longest one for thirteen yards like you 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.520 said there right, Yeah, a nice job. And that's my 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.080 second takeaway from the game. It's Carson Wentz and the 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.920 way that he played today, and particularly on third down 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.000 eight fifteen. On third down just clutch, like you said, 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.680 protecting the football, knowing where to go with the ball, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.959 getting the ball out of his hands quick. I liked 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.200 the deep ball he threw the outshone a day. Nice 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.280 touch on that pass there, not overthrowing aushan. So I 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.400 thought Carson was for a game that he was pretty 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.240 much asked to manage today because of the weather, made 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.120 the throws when he needed to make the throws, and 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.360 really on third down, came up with a lot of 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.400 big players on third down and in the red zone 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.280 three for four in the red zone. Those are really 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.240 his calling cards as a quarterback here is that he's 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.839 affiicient on third down and in the red zone, takes 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.040 care of the football. Needed to do all three of 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.240 those things to day, and I thought he was excellent 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.920 at it well, and considering how windy it wasn't there. 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.680 He completed seventy point eight percent of his passes seventeen 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.040 of twenty four, I thought, especially going against the wind 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.280 a couple of times, really accurate. I thought that was 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.640 especially impressive from him, which again you have to also 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.439 take into account on that. Just add context the throwaways 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.880 and throws, the eats, you know, so those I know, 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.280 it counts towards the completion percentage, but those aren't inaccurate throws. 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.400 Those are good choices to get rid of the football 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.439 and take with the DVA head. The defense won this down, 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.520 We're gonna play to the next one. So those, I mean, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.080 they factor into the completion percentage. But just speaking to 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.400 your point, about how efficient he was in this game. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.400 A really impressive number other people have next gen stats. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.240 We have friend Duffie Dads and also a great job 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:42.000 by him a being patient right, allowing the offense to 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.360 just play itself out. They moved the ball early, got 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.520 three points, and then they get down seven to three. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.160 He still never seen rush back there. He never seemed 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.680 like he was trying to force throws or force plays 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.520 down the field, and eventually that defense got into ball 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.560 in great position right before to half, able to go 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.160 in there and get a touchdown. Then I thought they 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.120 came out in the second half, great job, offensive play 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.319 call and able to go down get that big touchdown 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.640 from Miles. It was eleven and seven at halftime, right, 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.160 I mean, this game was very very tight, and they 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:11.920 came out and they busted it open and they never 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.600 looked back in the third quarter. Really impressive performance coming 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.320 out of the locker room. Which brings me to my 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:21.960 third takeaway from the game. The resiliency of right, the 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.960 resiliency of this team. Two straight difficult losses where you 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.400 know a lot of people around here heads hanging down, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.920 frustrated understandably so having to go back on the road 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.960 for a third straight week, after hearing all the negativity 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.640 around town, finding a way to go out and win 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.319 this football game. Great job Doug Peterson having his guys 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.600 ready to go. I thought they came out and showed 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.400 great resiliency today because this was a game they had 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.280 to have. I think when you look at just this 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.600 team being a second half team and the numbers you 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.439 see in the third quarter and then the fourth quarter 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.560 from this team, that speaks to the coaching staff and 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.240 to the players as well. But that speaks to the 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.199 coaching staff saying, Okay, we're gonna go into the locker room. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:00.599 What do we need to fix, what we need to 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.400 get corrected? All right, now, let's go out and execute. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.520 I think that that's a really that's a testament to 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.320 this coaching staff. Well when you talk about how close 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.000 it was at the half and just how they broke 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:09.960 the game open and the half, but they did get 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.679 on the board first, I'll be a just a field goal, 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.240 they go up, they go up three to zero, and 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.920 then they fall behind us seven to three. But also 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.959 just to be able to score right before the half 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.640 and stop that Buffalo touchdown right going into the locker room, 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:23.400 how much momentum does that give a team, I mean, 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.120 scoring right before the half. To me, it's like one 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.600 of the biggest things I look at determining who's going 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.480 to win a game is just getting that momentum going 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.480 off the field into the locker room at half. It 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.120 was huge, and considering they were getting the ball coming 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.040 out of the locker room, it kind of worked out 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.200 well for them. I know Buffalo Almos got that three 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.079 right there before the half, That's certainly what it took 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.160 away some of that momentum. But the fact that the 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.680 Eagles were able to get that turnover and then get 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.800 points out of it, and then come out of the 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.240 locker room and get points, I really felt like that's 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.640 where the game swung at when you got what fourteen 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.520 points right there. Buffalo never recovered from that. I can 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.600 say that we were watching the game off to the 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.840 side some of our production teams. I was screaming for 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.839 about fifteen minutes about that penalty on zach Ertz and 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.000 they end the end zone on the two point play, 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.240 like people, because I've heard you from the other room, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.800 and I wasn't quite sure because in that game the Eagles, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.360 there was a tough spot the defense were able to 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.760 was able to come through because you're kicking out into 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.040 the wind on a short field. That gave Buffalo the 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.520 ability to get into field goal range any other game, right, 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.200 all right, Like fine, you figure it out, you kick 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.680 a touchback and no harm, no foul. In this game, 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.360 that tikie tack penalty could have made a difference the 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.640 Eagles defense held. Yeah, one of the craziest wind games 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.360 that I've seen, especially at this time of the year, 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.320 where you're seeing these miss kicks and you're just seeing 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.880 like just how one team had such an advantage going 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.640 one direction. Have you ever played in a game like that? Oh? Yeah, 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.880 that's why I like. Just flipping the field changes the 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.080 entire advantage of who's got Chicago, Chicago, Windy City. Anytime 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.360 you go out games places, and when you know you 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.920 have to go there and player, you hope it's early 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.640 in the season as opposed to October, no Ran, brid December, 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.680 because the weather is very tricky. And that's how Buffalo is. 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.480 If you're gonna go to Buffalo and play, you want 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.160 to get up there early in the season as opposed 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.640 to the mid to the late season because the weather 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.720 can be tricking. If you're not used to it, you 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.200 won't know how to play in it. And so obviously 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.400 Buffalo is very accustomed to doing it, and the kickers, Uh, 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.640 it's a tough job for them because now it's almost 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.920 like being a golfer, right, you have to sort of 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.840 when you kick that ball, are you kicking it into 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.920 the win and planning it for the win to push 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.920 back to the left? How far do you kick it 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.080 outside the gold post and hope that the wind brings 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.480 it back in? Man, I would not have wanted to 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:37.600 be a kicker out there today. Now it's definitely easy 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.600 to Yeah, be thankful for that. M fran. Let's talk 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.640 about some things that you're excited to break down this 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.600 week because you get a closer look at the film. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.080 What are you most looking to the player to play? 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.320 The offensive line? Number one, it's always tough in this game. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:51.840 There weren't a lot of replays where they were of 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.800 a show exactly what the offensive line did in this game, 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:56.560 both in the run game and in the passing game. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.160 I cannot wait to see Brandon Brooks, Lane Johnson seemed 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.240 like they got a lot of movement upfront. Excited to 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.360 see how those two were able to manage in this game. 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.760 How did Andre Dillard look in his second start against 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.640 a pretty good defensive front there in Buffalo? Anxious to 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.160 see what that group looked like just a start thing, thought, Yeah, 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.880 I'm definitely curious about just another NFL start for Andre 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.440 Dillard and how he continues to develop. Any initial thoughts 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.360 on the offensive line, I thought they were fantastic. I mean, 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.760 the times that Carson was sacked other than the one 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.520 blitz that I think got on him pretty quick, you 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.400 can almost chalk those up to coverage sacks right where 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.480 he's back there holding the ball. I thought the offensive 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.640 line did a nice job, not just in the run game, 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.000 but in the passing game as well, and it's something 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.920 they need to continue to build or he think we 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.120 talk about Andre Dillard is getting more comfortable the time 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.160 that he's out there. Didn't get his number call today, 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.320 and that's what you want from an offensive line, and 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.800 no false starts, no holding calls, that's what you always want. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.680 So I would imagine he'll probably grade out pretty well 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.120 after this game. He's a guy I'm actously to go 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:54.520 back you when I broke him down this week on 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.720 Yar's game plan. So excited to see what he looked 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.040 like in his second start. The third down offense is 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.080 another one too. They did some really good things, I thought, 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.440 creatively with different stacks and motions to help get guys 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.639 free first third down of the game. But Nelson Aglore 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.280 came off a stack set where he wasn't touched up 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.080 until he was tackled, which that's what you want. You 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:12.960 got him free up past the liners or past the 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.240 first down marker, and Eagles are able to move the chains. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.000 I'm excited to see what they did on third down 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.160 because they were able to convert some big ones today. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.760 You talked about that third and long draw from Carson Wentz. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.119 Just some really creative play calling that. I'm excited to 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.080 see what the coaches dialed up. Yeah, it did seem 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.080 like we saw some extra creative stuff today on screen game. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.040 The screen that was nice today, tight end screens, the 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.439 running back screens. I love seeing that implemented into the 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.800 game plan. Even though Buffalo isn't a big time blitzing team. 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.879 For some reason, they came at them a little bit 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.800 today and I thought the screen game worked. Will you 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.280 know what it was like is that when you have 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.520 a defense that likes to play zone and those guys 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.040 like to carry on that long one to Miles Sanders. 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.359 All the receivers released up vertically. Yeah, all those linebackers underneath, 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.639
