WEBVTT - Post Game Show: Triumphant Thanksgiving 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:28.160 Well, what a Thanksgiving it has been for Eagles fans. 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.920 The Eagles dominating the Dallas Cowboys thirty three to ten 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.360 on Thanksgiving, taking hold of first place in the NFC 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.760 East at nine and three through twelve games. I'm bo Wolf, 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.720 that's christ. This is the postgame show presented by Rico. 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:42.920 And all week long all we heard about was the 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.640 Cowboys running game. DeMarco Murray, how good was he? The 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.960 leading rusher down in the NFL. Well, as Sean McCoy 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.840 had a little something to say about that. This Eagles 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:55.080 running game back to twenty thirteen prime form Shady McCoy 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.040 twenty five carries for one hundred and fifty nine yards 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.280 and a touchdown. The Eagles out rush the Cowboys two 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.319 fifty six to ninety three, and really this game was 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.160 not even as close as that score. Ike won a 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.959 performance by this Eagles team. Yeah, Bo, I mean, I 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.280 was very impressed with today's effort from the Eagles. I 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.360 think it's all Chips young tenure here on the road 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.959 against the team that's eight and three, fighting for the 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.360 top of the division on a short week, and to 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.680 come out in a dominant fashion in which they did 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.440 in all three phases, Cody Parky kicking the ball, allfense, 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.920 setting the temple early in the game, with the running game, 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.720 Sanchez on point with all of his passes, and then 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:38.120 a dominant performance defense versus the run and the passes. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.440 Day just really a tremendous effort from the full team. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.319 With all eyes of America watching, the Eagles proved today 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.679 that's certainly for now at least, they are the cream 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.120 of the crop in the NFC East. Mark Sanchez very 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.160 solid twenty twenty nine for two seventeen and a touchdown. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.000 He had over two hundred yards passing at halftime, so 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.560 that tells you how out of control this game was. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.559 He only threw for fifteen yards in the second half. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.720 Eagle completely dominated this game from start to finish. And 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.640 how about the performance of the Eagles defensive line. They 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.720 talked all week that they thought they were the better 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:12.120 unit versus the Cowboys vaunted offensive line. Well, Fletcher Cox 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.400 in company certainly proved that today. One performance from him 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.720 and the rest of his defensive line means yeah, they 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.240 talked to talk and they walked it this afternoon. They 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.639 started this week go off with a little bit of 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.880 a chip on their shoulder about all the accolades and 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.880 the praises that were being thrown towards the Dallas Cowboys 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.600 net offensive line and their running game, and they took 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.480 it upon themselves. They took out, they took on the 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.480 challenge head on and came in and dominated this game. 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.800 DeMarco Murray, I believe had his season low when you 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.040 look at his rushing yards, you look at the past defense, 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.120 there were interceptions there. You look at the past rush 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:49.919 upfront sacks from Fletcher Cox linebackers. I mean, Fletcher Cox 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.520 really solidified had spot in the Pro boll today with 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.880 today's performance. And we talked about Zach Martin and how 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.480 great of a job he had been doing his rookie 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.520 campaign rightfully, so PERFECTA Cox lat even know that this 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.760 is a big boy game today and welcome to the 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:08.440 NFL for the rookie. And I just like the fact 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.080 that Tony Romol he never seemed comfortable in the pocket 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:13.480 the day when they wanted to throw the ball, when 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.040 they wanted to run the ball third and two situations. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.000 Dallas has been the bully on the block all year long, 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.359 running the football. They couldn't bully the Eagles the day. 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.320 Great job from this front seven defending the running. So 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.799 we are very grateful that you have chosen to spend 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.440 your Thanksgiving with us here on the postgame show presenta 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.760 n Rico as a thanks to you. Here's what we've 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.000 got coming your way. First of all, you two can 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.440 be part of the show by tweeting with hashtag Fly 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.400 Eagles Fly. You'll get your tweet there on the bottom. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.240 But more importantly, we've got Ship Kelly's live press conference 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.800 coming to you from Arlington in just a few minutes. 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.040 After that, we'll have live press conference coverage of probably 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.320 the Sean McCoy and Mark Sanchez as well. We'll be 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.680 taking your phone calls later in the show Greg co 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.080 Sell from NFL Phones, who's going to break down some 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:57.960 of the key players in this game, and he'll join 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.840 us later to talk about what's next for this Eagles 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.080 team as they moved to the final quarter of the 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.920 season at nine and three. But like you talked about 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.400 about it before, but Tony Romo never comfortable in this game. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.360 You know, there were a couple times where he sort 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.640 of took him took sacks upon himself in the face 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.920 of pressure from the Seagle's defense. Really from start to finish, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.920 except for a couple of frustrating red zone possessions at 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.839 the end of the first half, this was as beautifully 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.039 perfect a game as you could have driven drawn up 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.360 as an Eagle fan. Yeah, it really was brow what 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.080 I mean you look at Tony Romo. I really played 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.000 very good football up to this point in the season, 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.040 doing a great job of taking care of the ball, 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.760 no critical turnovers, just six hundred sections on the season 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.080 versus twenty two touchdown versus twenty two touchdowns. And I 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.320 like the way the Eagles really got him out of 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.880 his conference zone, had him under durest. He hurried some throws, 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.560 he overthrew the ball when guys were clearly open, took 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.080 a sack when he didn't need to take sacks. There 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.560 were running lanes available for him, he didn't see him 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.960 to take advantage of. Oz didn't really seem like he 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:02.719 was on his game, and a lot of it was 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.919 due to the pressure and the rest of he was 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.640 under from the sea was front. I mean Bill Davis again, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.719 short week, nice game plan against this offensive line, in 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.960 particularly what the Cowboys liked to do in the passing game. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.560 But Jess wasn't there available for him. So Eagles jumped 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.880 out to a fourteen nothing lead in this game, second 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.800 week in a row that they have scored on their 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.800 first possession. Last week, of course, there was the Josh 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.479 Felf kickoff return, this week a beautiful drive eighty yards 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.000 down the field, capped by a two yard keeper from 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.600 Mark Sanchez. They would then added to fourteen on a 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.520 nice rolling left pass from Sanchez to George Matthews, rounding 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.520 for twenty seven yards, and really from then on, this 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.279 game was sort of out of hand for the Cowboys. 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.800 They did pull it within fourteen seven, but after that 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.240 it was all Eagles. Yeah. I think the Eagles really 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.080 took the Cowboys will on offense with the way that 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.280 they were running the ball. The up tempo speed of 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.000 the offense seemed to had the Cowboys defense on their heels. 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.480 They couldn't catch their breath, and every time the Eagles 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.640 needed to pick up a big first down, it seemed 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.520 like they were able to pick it up, whether it 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.760 was via the past or to run. It's just so 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:08.400 nice to see the defending Russian champion looked like he 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.240 looked last year for the most part today against this 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.680 Dallas Cowboy defense. Really really just as good as against 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.400 you know, special teams. Not really a big factor in 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.799 this game obviously, but the Eagles offense with Andrew Gardner 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.560 at right guard for the second week in a row, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.320 they got something going. It seems like maybe they've finally 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.200 found that combination of guys and with Lashaw McCoy that 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:31.839 we've been waiting to see. The last two weeks have 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.159 been the two best rushing performances of the season for 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.080 the Eagles. Maybe they really are starting to find something. Yeah, 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.160 I thought, I thought Chip stuck with the running game. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.280 It seems as if they came in with the idea 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.000 that they can run the ball against this cowboy front seven. 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.480 They started off in that first drive, Shady had the 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.600 big run and they stuck with it. You mentioned Mark, 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.599 He was able to get a lot of passing yards 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.640 in that first half. They didn't really need to throw 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.440 the ball in the second half. It was still a game, 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.440 but Chips still stuck with the run game. He saw 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.240 that they were very effective with it. Shady seemed to 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.120 be decisive hitting the holes and when he got to 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.800 the second level, he was making guys miss like we 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.159 would call a custom to watching him do and so 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.040 they stuck with it. They controlled the game from that 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.880 aspect of it. I mean they controlled the tempo, they 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.200 spared up when they needed to. They slowed it down 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.240 in the fourth quarter to sort of run the clock 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:18.560 down and eat up a little bit the clock. We 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.760 know they're not really used to doing that, but I 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.040 think it was in the second half, just a perfectly 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.680 called game from a Chip Kelly and Pat Shermon. I'll 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.680 tell you what also I liked was the chippiness at 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.440 the end of the game between these two teams. I'm 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.440 a really dirty hit from Dwayne Harrison on Nolan Carroll, 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.040 but that only tells you that the Eagles are certainly 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.960 not gonna be overlooking the Cowboys, who once again when 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.400 they come back in two weeks, they're very much gonna 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.480 be looking forward to getting back out there and proving 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.160 that tonight was no foot Yeah. I know that hit 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.400 was vicious bowl and I know the Cowboys eventually were 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.280 flagged for it. I thought it was a bad flag. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.720 I had a former teammate, Brian Mitchell. He used to 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.720 make plays like that on kickoff. I mean, punk cover 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.280 guys as long as he doesn't go as long as 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.840 he doesn't give the fair catch signal. He's allowed to 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.400 block and prevent that gunner from down on the ball 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.560 inside the five, y'all, and I thought the referees made 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.760 a mistake about calling that flag. But alright, teams loyalties 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.440 are stronger than your Eagles. I just want to really 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.480 clear it up the rule in case, in case one 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.080 of our guys happened to do it at sub points 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.760 this season. All right, So we are hoping to bring 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.400 you a Chip Kelly soon here from from Arlington, but 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.760 there's really not much to hear from Chip Kelly. Michael 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.200 Kendricks left the game, um and returned with a with 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.280 a caff injury or a thigh injury. I forget exactly 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:30.880 what it was, but he returned, so he's all good. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.040 Quad one of those things, one of those four letter words, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.560 uh and uh. Trey Burton left the game, but you know, 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.680 nothing big and certainly Chip's not gonna tell us anything 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.120 much about injuries after the game anyway, as you have 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.000 learned in his season plus as head coach of the Eagles. 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.760 So that's just setting the scene there. But we will 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.720 bring that to you shortly. I want to hear from 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.320 Lashaw McCoy, who congratulations who won the Galloping Gobbler, the 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.920 Fox Award for the Gobbler. I shouldn't even I shouldn't 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.720 even give it their own word, but whatever the word is. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.600 But I guess that's what I just want to hear, 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.079 because he's been saying, he's been preaching all season long, 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.360 it's coming, it's coming. And you know that he always 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.000 sort of bristles at the disrespect to at least perceive 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:10.959 to him. So he'll be very happy. He'll be in 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.960 a good mood for this game. Yeah, no doubt about it. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:14.680 And it really has been coming. You look at the 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.200 last six weeks really since Van Matthis returned to the lineup. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.520 He didn't he wasn't having the big days that we've 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.040 seen the last two games, but getting eighty ninety yards 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.200 those are nice above average days in the NFL today 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.280 for running backs. You just don't get many running backs 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.640 going over one hundred yards every week. But because we 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.040 were so spoiled well what he did for us last year, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.760 we sort of expect that every game. But the running 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.559 game has been coming along slowly but surely over the 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.719 last month and a half. And when you pay when 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.480 you play against an average run stopping defense like they 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.720 have the last two weeks, not even an average below 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.080 average run stopping defense as they faced in the Titans 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.679 and the Cowboys. Shady's going to get his big days. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.120 He's gonna get his big days. So we talked about. 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.520 Really the only thing that was negative at all from 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.400 this game was those red zone trip at the end 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.400 of the first half. Eagles finished the first half just 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.840 two or five in the red zone. Are you're worried 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.600 that this is still continuing late in the season, especially 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.439 against the Cowboys defense that coming in was thirty first 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.160 in the league in red zone defense. If this was 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.439 a team that had trouble scoring from anywhere on the field, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.040 Bow I would be worried because I would say, you 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.320 know what, they're they're missing out on opportunities in the 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.559 red zone where you have to score touchdowns well, because 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.320 they can score points and bunches and from just about 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.440 anywhere on the field. It seems I'm not overly concerned. 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.760 Of course, when you play against the better teams, like 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.120 you're gonna have Seattle come up her next and if 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.280 they don't play well in the game where you're happen 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.960 to lose a game, the red zone stops become magnified. 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.520 But when you score, as they had the last two games, 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.400 and they could have easily scored forty plus fifty points 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.079 today had they converted. Though some of those in the 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.320 touchdowns same as last week against Tennessee. And their defense 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.760 is playing the way that they're playing, the red zone 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.240 mishaps don't seem to be as big. But I'll tell 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.760 you what, that's just from the outside looking at on 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.800 the inside, looking at a guarantee you Kelly, he's looking 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.000 for a way to remedy this red zone issue because 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.520 when you get down there, you're gonna need touchdowns as 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.440 opposed to field goals when you're playing against some of 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.600 the other teams instead of just firing the ball at 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.400 Raley Cooper when he's get your head around, Riley, what 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.160 are you doing look for the ball? Unbelievable, But you 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:18.920 know when you are scoring, you know twenty seven year 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.640 od touchdown passes to Jordan Matthews and well, you know what, 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:34.040 here we go, Chip Kelly, happy, Thanksgiving Less. You're up 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.400 insive line that I don't remember any penalty's dominant against 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.480 the running game. Yeah, I thought I thought they were clean. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.240 There was best I played this year. You know, obviously 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.079 we've had a lot of different lineups in there, um, 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.040 through the course of the season, and uh, two games 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.440 with this group right now, I thought they did a 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.319 really good job and obviously set the tone for the 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.280 day for us those first two drives. That's our guys 0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.840 came ready to play and played with great energy. We 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:01.720 were excited about playing. You know, we knew that it 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.880 was a non traditional week. Um, we have nothing to 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.120 do with the schedule, and if you tell us when 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:07.680 to player, we're gonna play. I think our guys had 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.160 a great approach, you know, starting Sunday. You know, there 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:11.679 was a lot of guys in the Novocare Sunday night 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.840 while our coaches were, um, you know, starting to implement 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.240 the game plan. There was a a lot of guys 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.880 run around the building doing rehab and recovery protocols. So 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.720 kind of tells you about the mindset of this group. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.160 We had three really good days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:30.960 they were excited about playing, so run the defense winning. Um. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.559 I just thought our guys played hard, you know when 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.720 we knew, especially like I said earlier, in non traditional 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:35.959 week you gotta play with a lot of energy and 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.720 you gotta bring it um. And I thought our guys 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.040 did see that response off turnovers after the voice fumble, 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.319 you build into a double. But ye, that's huge, you know, 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:45.680 And that's what we talk about all the time. Just 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.800 because you turned it over, it doesn't mean that you, uh, 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:50.840 you got to give up points. And and I think 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.880 when our defense can hold them to three instead of seven, 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.960 it's a little deflating form. So you know, I think 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:56.719 I thought our defense played really well all day long. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.840 I'm heright over here for us. I'll come back to Casey. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.280 Matthews had that sack on th two on that yeah, 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.400 big player. I thought Casey did a great job. Obviously 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.000 didn't have the rotation with Auchocho was up, but if 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.240 it you know, really, if if we had an injury, 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:13.520 we'd have to go totch. But we were trying to 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:14.920 see if we could save him a little bit because 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.320 we do have, um obviously a big couple more really 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.360 big games coming up here in December. But uh, I 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:20.960 thought Casey played really well. I thought the whole group 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.880 on defense played really well. Yet the defense, what impressed 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.520 do you mode when you think about what your intentions 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.360 were with the game. I thought those guys did a 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.160 great job of the game plan. Obviously, you knew you're 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.520 going up against Marco Murray with you know, leading National 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.000 Football League in rushing, um, you know, and then they've 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.080 got weapons like Witting and des Brian obviously and Tony 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.360 so um, and they're they're playing really, really well on 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:42.680 the offensive side of the ball. So I thought our 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.520 defense overall did a really nice job, especially back that. Yeah, 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.800 I think Lashaun's just a resilient guy, you know, and 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:51.839 we always I've said since the beginning, he's our guy. 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.439 I thought, he he um, you know, he came to play. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.480 He's a big time player and plays big and had 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.520 a great game down here last year and obviously had 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.560 another great game against this afternoon. Mark Sanchez, you know, 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.719 says his play, you know, no mistakes. Yeah, I think 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.720 he's just getting more comfortable, you know. And I you know, 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.520 I said it earlier in the week. He missed an 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.800 entire year of football, you know, and there's there's no 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.959 substitution for playing, and then sits for play. Played well 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.200 in the preseason, but then sat until the Houston games. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.760 So you know, I think he's just starting to get 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.600 more comfortable. It's starting to you know, recognize the looks 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.840 he's getting sometimes get into a second receiver at third receiver, 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:24.640 keeping things alive. You know, we got him out of 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.040 the pocket few times that he threw the ball to 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.200 run real well. Um obviously used him a couple of 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:29.920 times and some run stuff, you know, so they couldn't 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:31.080 gang up on the back. And I thought he did 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.120 a really nice job in the decision making aspect of things, 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.480 keeping people on us. So, um, I thought Mark played 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.800 a really clean game today. What allowed him to pick 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.520 up those yards on the ground. We hadn't seen that 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.720 a lot in previous weeks. Yeah, they were trying to 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.400 bend the end and try to take away the back, 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.200 and obviously when you try to outnumbers the quarterback can 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.680 be a weapon at certain points of times during the game. So, um, 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.160 you know, we saw some things. I saw some things 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.160 from the sideline and just knew that if they presented 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:54.640 the same look, there's an opportunity for us to pick 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.120 up some yards. So I thought he did a good job. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.560 Do you think I don't know if it opened up 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.480 things because we were doing a really good job Lashawan 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.040 and the offensive line was doing a good job for it. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.600 But I think when the game got into the second half, 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.120 and obviously you have a lead, we're running the ball. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:07.440 We ran the ball obviously a lot more in the 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.840 first in the second half than we did in the 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.680 first half, So you know, you're trying to get them 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.800 from ganging up. And when you have the ability for 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.920 the quarterback to run the ball, when you have shotgun runs, 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.520 that's one of the reasons you're in shotgun runs because 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:17.880 they got to defend the quarterback, and if they don't 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.640 defend the quarterback, you're gonna get some clean yards out 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.360 of there. So season, yeah, I mean I've seen the 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.440 team improve as the season has gone along. And uh, um, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.440 you know, we're besides Nick, we're relatively healthy, you know, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.960 And I think we've we've we we had our fair 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:33.720 share early and I think we weathered that storm. And 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.440 I think our guys um are improving. You know. I 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.280 think that their approach to training on a on a 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.480 on a daily basis, you know, I think that their 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.840 daily disciplines, they thrive on those things, and I think 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.520 it's showing right now. And I think we're um, you know, 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.480 we're just getting better, which is good because we're gonna 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.520 play many from football in December, did you get any 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.840 sense from your defensive line during the week that they 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.040 were taking this as an extra challenge, given the fact 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.360 now it was offensive lines getting a lot of it. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.000 I didn't get that sense, you know, I don't. We 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.320 don't talk about that. We just weren't meeting. We talked 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:01.960 about what our game plan is and and that stuff. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.520 We leave that for the everybody everybody else, But we 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.800 didn't talk about that. And that wasn't It's never been 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.640 our mottel. Hey, if this guy is good, let's go, 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.480 you know, crank our game up. I hope you come 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:11.840 to play no matter who you're playing, you know. And 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:13.840 and again, you can't say, hey, it's a really good team, 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.440 let's get really excited. Well it's not a really good team, 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.440 so let's not get excited. And in this league, if 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.120 that's your mentality, you're gonna get beat, you know, because 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.400 everybody's really good in this league. So, um, I think 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.320 our defensive line has played well all season long. Um, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.640 And and again they they rose to the occasion again 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.200 and against a really good offensive line, against a really 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:35.760 good back so manum, they were in too deep. They 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.560 were in too deep, and and Mark had a great raid. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.520 The corner kind of sat and we had sprosy coming 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.600 out of the backfield, and and uh Mark made a 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.040 great decision put the ball in the hole. And and 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.080 Mac Mac picked up obviously some yards on after the catch. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:50.120 So blis a big matchup for them, I thought, I thought, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.760 they both you know, and I've thought they've our corners 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.680 have played well, you know, and I know Billy feels 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.240 the same way. The great part of the coaching staff 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.280 and the players all have the same amount of confidence 0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:59.960 in them. So um, I thought, both those guys can 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:04.240 him up big against a really really good receiver seeming 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.840 league Born tonight, as as a kind of a free 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.800 safety did too. Now, I mean, it just depends on 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.960 the play called. Both Nate Nate had to pick back there, 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.480 Malcolm can play back there. Both of our safeties are interchangeable. Um, 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.200 So it's that that's a great part of it. We 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.120 don't have a box safety and a high safety. Both 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.679 of them can go down depending on what the what 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.360 what they're doing to us offensively, and that's the great 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:24.680 thing about them. Both of them can cover both of 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.000 them can play high, both of them can play in 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.919 the box, so it made like a statement and division. 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.120 As far as we're not into statements, we're just into 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.879 playing football games. So we've given ourselves an opportunity to 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.639 play meaning of football in December and that's it. And 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.360
