Speaker 1: Well, what a Thanksgiving it has been for Eagles fans.
Speaker 1: The Eagles dominating the Dallas Cowboys thirty three to ten
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, taking hold of first place in the NFC
Speaker 1: East at nine and three through twelve games. I'm bo Wolf,
Speaker 1: that's christ. This is the postgame show presented by Rico.
Speaker 1: And all week long all we heard about was the
Speaker 1: Cowboys running game. DeMarco Murray, how good was he? The
Speaker 1: leading rusher down in the NFL. Well, as Sean McCoy
Speaker 1: had a little something to say about that. This Eagles
Speaker 1: running game back to twenty thirteen prime form Shady McCoy
Speaker 1: twenty five carries for one hundred and fifty nine yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. The Eagles out rush the Cowboys two
Speaker 1: fifty six to ninety three, and really this game was
Speaker 1: not even as close as that score. Ike won a
Speaker 1: performance by this Eagles team. Yeah, Bo, I mean, I
Speaker 1: was very impressed with today's effort from the Eagles. I
Speaker 1: think it's all Chips young tenure here on the road
Speaker 1: against the team that's eight and three, fighting for the
Speaker 1: top of the division on a short week, and to
Speaker 1: come out in a dominant fashion in which they did
Speaker 1: in all three phases, Cody Parky kicking the ball, allfense,
Speaker 1: setting the temple early in the game, with the running game,
Speaker 1: Sanchez on point with all of his passes, and then
Speaker 1: a dominant performance defense versus the run and the passes.
Speaker 1: Day just really a tremendous effort from the full team.
Speaker 1: With all eyes of America watching, the Eagles proved today
Speaker 1: that's certainly for now at least, they are the cream
Speaker 1: of the crop in the NFC East. Mark Sanchez very
Speaker 1: solid twenty twenty nine for two seventeen and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: He had over two hundred yards passing at halftime, so
Speaker 1: that tells you how out of control this game was.
Speaker 1: He only threw for fifteen yards in the second half.
Speaker 1: Eagle completely dominated this game from start to finish. And
Speaker 1: how about the performance of the Eagles defensive line. They
Speaker 1: talked all week that they thought they were the better
Speaker 1: unit versus the Cowboys vaunted offensive line. Well, Fletcher Cox
Speaker 1: in company certainly proved that today. One performance from him
Speaker 1: and the rest of his defensive line means yeah, they
Speaker 1: talked to talk and they walked it this afternoon. They
Speaker 1: started this week go off with a little bit of
Speaker 1: a chip on their shoulder about all the accolades and
Speaker 1: the praises that were being thrown towards the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: net offensive line and their running game, and they took
Speaker 1: it upon themselves. They took out, they took on the
Speaker 1: challenge head on and came in and dominated this game.
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, I believe had his season low when you
Speaker 1: look at his rushing yards, you look at the past defense,
Speaker 1: there were interceptions there. You look at the past rush
Speaker 1: upfront sacks from Fletcher Cox linebackers. I mean, Fletcher Cox
Speaker 1: really solidified had spot in the Pro boll today with
Speaker 1: today's performance. And we talked about Zach Martin and how
Speaker 1: great of a job he had been doing his rookie
Speaker 1: campaign rightfully, so PERFECTA Cox lat even know that this
Speaker 1: is a big boy game today and welcome to the
Speaker 1: NFL for the rookie. And I just like the fact
Speaker 1: that Tony Romol he never seemed comfortable in the pocket
Speaker 1: the day when they wanted to throw the ball, when
Speaker 1: they wanted to run the ball third and two situations.
Speaker 1: Dallas has been the bully on the block all year long,
Speaker 1: running the football. They couldn't bully the Eagles the day.
Speaker 1: Great job from this front seven defending the running. So
Speaker 1: we are very grateful that you have chosen to spend
Speaker 1: your Thanksgiving with us here on the postgame show presenta
Speaker 1: n Rico as a thanks to you. Here's what we've
Speaker 1: got coming your way. First of all, you two can
Speaker 1: be part of the show by tweeting with hashtag Fly
Speaker 1: Eagles Fly. You'll get your tweet there on the bottom.
Speaker 1: But more importantly, we've got Ship Kelly's live press conference
Speaker 1: coming to you from Arlington in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1: After that, we'll have live press conference coverage of probably
Speaker 1: the Sean McCoy and Mark Sanchez as well. We'll be
Speaker 1: taking your phone calls later in the show Greg co
Speaker 1: Sell from NFL Phones, who's going to break down some
Speaker 1: of the key players in this game, and he'll join
Speaker 1: us later to talk about what's next for this Eagles
Speaker 1: team as they moved to the final quarter of the
Speaker 1: season at nine and three. But like you talked about
Speaker 1: about it before, but Tony Romo never comfortable in this game.
Speaker 1: You know, there were a couple times where he sort
Speaker 1: of took him took sacks upon himself in the face
Speaker 1: of pressure from the Seagle's defense. Really from start to finish,
Speaker 1: except for a couple of frustrating red zone possessions at
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, this was as beautifully
Speaker 1: perfect a game as you could have driven drawn up
Speaker 1: as an Eagle fan. Yeah, it really was brow what
Speaker 1: I mean you look at Tony Romo. I really played
Speaker 1: very good football up to this point in the season,
Speaker 1: doing a great job of taking care of the ball,
Speaker 1: no critical turnovers, just six hundred sections on the season
Speaker 1: versus twenty two touchdown versus twenty two touchdowns. And I
Speaker 1: like the way the Eagles really got him out of
Speaker 1: his conference zone, had him under durest. He hurried some throws,
Speaker 1: he overthrew the ball when guys were clearly open, took
Speaker 1: a sack when he didn't need to take sacks. There
Speaker 1: were running lanes available for him, he didn't see him
Speaker 1: to take advantage of. Oz didn't really seem like he
Speaker 1: was on his game, and a lot of it was
Speaker 1: due to the pressure and the rest of he was
Speaker 1: under from the sea was front. I mean Bill Davis again,
Speaker 1: short week, nice game plan against this offensive line, in
Speaker 1: particularly what the Cowboys liked to do in the passing game.
Speaker 1: But Jess wasn't there available for him. So Eagles jumped
Speaker 1: out to a fourteen nothing lead in this game, second
Speaker 1: week in a row that they have scored on their
Speaker 1: first possession. Last week, of course, there was the Josh
Speaker 1: Felf kickoff return, this week a beautiful drive eighty yards
Speaker 1: down the field, capped by a two yard keeper from
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez. They would then added to fourteen on a
Speaker 1: nice rolling left pass from Sanchez to George Matthews, rounding
Speaker 1: for twenty seven yards, and really from then on, this
Speaker 1: game was sort of out of hand for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: They did pull it within fourteen seven, but after that
Speaker 1: it was all Eagles. Yeah. I think the Eagles really
Speaker 1: took the Cowboys will on offense with the way that
Speaker 1: they were running the ball. The up tempo speed of
Speaker 1: the offense seemed to had the Cowboys defense on their heels.
Speaker 1: They couldn't catch their breath, and every time the Eagles
Speaker 1: needed to pick up a big first down, it seemed
Speaker 1: like they were able to pick it up, whether it
Speaker 1: was via the past or to run. It's just so
Speaker 1: nice to see the defending Russian champion looked like he
Speaker 1: looked last year for the most part today against this
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy defense. Really really just as good as against
Speaker 1: you know, special teams. Not really a big factor in
Speaker 1: this game obviously, but the Eagles offense with Andrew Gardner
Speaker 1: at right guard for the second week in a row,
Speaker 1: they got something going. It seems like maybe they've finally
Speaker 1: found that combination of guys and with Lashaw McCoy that
Speaker 1: we've been waiting to see. The last two weeks have
Speaker 1: been the two best rushing performances of the season for
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Maybe they really are starting to find something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought Chip stuck with the running game.
Speaker 1: It seems as if they came in with the idea
Speaker 1: that they can run the ball against this cowboy front seven.
Speaker 1: They started off in that first drive, Shady had the
Speaker 1: big run and they stuck with it. You mentioned Mark,
Speaker 1: He was able to get a lot of passing yards
Speaker 1: in that first half. They didn't really need to throw
Speaker 1: the ball in the second half. It was still a game,
Speaker 1: but Chips still stuck with the run game. He saw
Speaker 1: that they were very effective with it. Shady seemed to
Speaker 1: be decisive hitting the holes and when he got to
Speaker 1: the second level, he was making guys miss like we
Speaker 1: would call a custom to watching him do and so
Speaker 1: they stuck with it. They controlled the game from that
Speaker 1: aspect of it. I mean they controlled the tempo, they
Speaker 1: spared up when they needed to. They slowed it down
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter to sort of run the clock
Speaker 1: down and eat up a little bit the clock. We
Speaker 1: know they're not really used to doing that, but I
Speaker 1: think it was in the second half, just a perfectly
Speaker 1: called game from a Chip Kelly and Pat Shermon. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what also I liked was the chippiness at
Speaker 1: the end of the game between these two teams. I'm
Speaker 1: a really dirty hit from Dwayne Harrison on Nolan Carroll,
Speaker 1: but that only tells you that the Eagles are certainly
Speaker 1: not gonna be overlooking the Cowboys, who once again when
Speaker 1: they come back in two weeks, they're very much gonna
Speaker 1: be looking forward to getting back out there and proving
Speaker 1: that tonight was no foot Yeah. I know that hit
Speaker 1: was vicious bowl and I know the Cowboys eventually were
Speaker 1: flagged for it. I thought it was a bad flag.
Speaker 1: I had a former teammate, Brian Mitchell. He used to
Speaker 1: make plays like that on kickoff. I mean, punk cover
Speaker 1: guys as long as he doesn't go as long as
Speaker 1: he doesn't give the fair catch signal. He's allowed to
Speaker 1: block and prevent that gunner from down on the ball
Speaker 1: inside the five, y'all, and I thought the referees made
Speaker 1: a mistake about calling that flag. But alright, teams loyalties
Speaker 1: are stronger than your Eagles. I just want to really
Speaker 1: clear it up the rule in case, in case one
Speaker 1: of our guys happened to do it at sub points
Speaker 1: this season. All right, So we are hoping to bring
Speaker 1: you a Chip Kelly soon here from from Arlington, but
Speaker 1: there's really not much to hear from Chip Kelly. Michael
Speaker 1: Kendricks left the game, um and returned with a with
Speaker 1: a caff injury or a thigh injury. I forget exactly
Speaker 1: what it was, but he returned, so he's all good.
Speaker 1: Quad one of those things, one of those four letter words,
Speaker 1: uh and uh. Trey Burton left the game, but you know,
Speaker 1: nothing big and certainly Chip's not gonna tell us anything
Speaker 1: much about injuries after the game anyway, as you have
Speaker 1: learned in his season plus as head coach of the Eagles.
Speaker 1: So that's just setting the scene there. But we will
Speaker 1: bring that to you shortly. I want to hear from
Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy, who congratulations who won the Galloping Gobbler, the
Speaker 1: Fox Award for the Gobbler. I shouldn't even I shouldn't
Speaker 1: even give it their own word, but whatever the word is.
Speaker 1: But I guess that's what I just want to hear,
Speaker 1: because he's been saying, he's been preaching all season long,
Speaker 1: it's coming, it's coming. And you know that he always
Speaker 1: sort of bristles at the disrespect to at least perceive
Speaker 1: to him. So he'll be very happy. He'll be in
Speaker 1: a good mood for this game. Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: And it really has been coming. You look at the
Speaker 1: last six weeks really since Van Matthis returned to the lineup.
Speaker 1: He didn't he wasn't having the big days that we've
Speaker 1: seen the last two games, but getting eighty ninety yards
Speaker 1: those are nice above average days in the NFL today
Speaker 1: for running backs. You just don't get many running backs
Speaker 1: going over one hundred yards every week. But because we
Speaker 1: were so spoiled well what he did for us last year,
Speaker 1: we sort of expect that every game. But the running
Speaker 1: game has been coming along slowly but surely over the
Speaker 1: last month and a half. And when you pay when
Speaker 1: you play against an average run stopping defense like they
Speaker 1: have the last two weeks, not even an average below
Speaker 1: average run stopping defense as they faced in the Titans
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys. Shady's going to get his big days.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get his big days. So we talked about.
Speaker 1: Really the only thing that was negative at all from
Speaker 1: this game was those red zone trip at the end
Speaker 1: of the first half. Eagles finished the first half just
Speaker 1: two or five in the red zone. Are you're worried
Speaker 1: that this is still continuing late in the season, especially
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys defense that coming in was thirty first
Speaker 1: in the league in red zone defense. If this was
Speaker 1: a team that had trouble scoring from anywhere on the field,
Speaker 1: Bow I would be worried because I would say, you
Speaker 1: know what, they're they're missing out on opportunities in the
Speaker 1: red zone where you have to score touchdowns well, because
Speaker 1: they can score points and bunches and from just about
Speaker 1: anywhere on the field. It seems I'm not overly concerned.
Speaker 1: Of course, when you play against the better teams, like
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Seattle come up her next and if
Speaker 1: they don't play well in the game where you're happen
Speaker 1: to lose a game, the red zone stops become magnified.
Speaker 1: But when you score, as they had the last two games,
Speaker 1: and they could have easily scored forty plus fifty points
Speaker 1: today had they converted. Though some of those in the
Speaker 1: touchdowns same as last week against Tennessee. And their defense
Speaker 1: is playing the way that they're playing, the red zone
Speaker 1: mishaps don't seem to be as big. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what, that's just from the outside looking at on
Speaker 1: the inside, looking at a guarantee you Kelly, he's looking
Speaker 1: for a way to remedy this red zone issue because
Speaker 1: when you get down there, you're gonna need touchdowns as
Speaker 1: opposed to field goals when you're playing against some of
Speaker 1: the other teams instead of just firing the ball at
Speaker 1: Raley Cooper when he's get your head around, Riley, what
Speaker 1: are you doing look for the ball? Unbelievable, But you
Speaker 1: know when you are scoring, you know twenty seven year
Speaker 1: od touchdown passes to Jordan Matthews and well, you know what,
Speaker 1: here we go, Chip Kelly, happy, Thanksgiving Less. You're up
Speaker 1: insive line that I don't remember any penalty's dominant against
Speaker 1: the running game. Yeah, I thought I thought they were clean.
Speaker 1: There was best I played this year. You know, obviously
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of different lineups in there, um,
Speaker 1: through the course of the season, and uh, two games
Speaker 1: with this group right now, I thought they did a
Speaker 1: really good job and obviously set the tone for the
Speaker 1: day for us those first two drives. That's our guys
Speaker 1: came ready to play and played with great energy. We
Speaker 1: were excited about playing. You know, we knew that it
Speaker 1: was a non traditional week. Um, we have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the schedule, and if you tell us when
Speaker 1: to player, we're gonna play. I think our guys had
Speaker 1: a great approach, you know, starting Sunday. You know, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of guys in the Novocare Sunday night
Speaker 1: while our coaches were, um, you know, starting to implement
Speaker 1: the game plan. There was a a lot of guys
Speaker 1: run around the building doing rehab and recovery protocols. So
Speaker 1: kind of tells you about the mindset of this group.
Speaker 1: We had three really good days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Speaker 1: they were excited about playing, so run the defense winning. Um.
Speaker 1: I just thought our guys played hard, you know when
Speaker 1: we knew, especially like I said earlier, in non traditional
Speaker 1: week you gotta play with a lot of energy and
Speaker 1: you gotta bring it um. And I thought our guys
Speaker 1: did see that response off turnovers after the voice fumble,
Speaker 1: you build into a double. But ye, that's huge, you know,
Speaker 1: And that's what we talk about all the time. Just
Speaker 1: because you turned it over, it doesn't mean that you, uh,
Speaker 1: you got to give up points. And and I think
Speaker 1: when our defense can hold them to three instead of seven,
Speaker 1: it's a little deflating form. So you know, I think
Speaker 1: I thought our defense played really well all day long.
Speaker 1: I'm heright over here for us. I'll come back to Casey.
Speaker 1: Matthews had that sack on th two on that yeah,
Speaker 1: big player. I thought Casey did a great job. Obviously
Speaker 1: didn't have the rotation with Auchocho was up, but if
Speaker 1: it you know, really, if if we had an injury,
Speaker 1: we'd have to go totch. But we were trying to
Speaker 1: see if we could save him a little bit because
Speaker 1: we do have, um obviously a big couple more really
Speaker 1: big games coming up here in December. But uh, I
Speaker 1: thought Casey played really well. I thought the whole group
Speaker 1: on defense played really well. Yet the defense, what impressed
Speaker 1: do you mode when you think about what your intentions
Speaker 1: were with the game. I thought those guys did a
Speaker 1: great job of the game plan. Obviously, you knew you're
Speaker 1: going up against Marco Murray with you know, leading National
Speaker 1: Football League in rushing, um, you know, and then they've
Speaker 1: got weapons like Witting and des Brian obviously and Tony
Speaker 1: so um, and they're they're playing really, really well on
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. So I thought our
Speaker 1: defense overall did a really nice job, especially back that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Lashaun's just a resilient guy, you know, and
Speaker 1: we always I've said since the beginning, he's our guy.
Speaker 1: I thought, he he um, you know, he came to play.
Speaker 1: He's a big time player and plays big and had
Speaker 1: a great game down here last year and obviously had
Speaker 1: another great game against this afternoon. Mark Sanchez, you know,
Speaker 1: says his play, you know, no mistakes. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he's just getting more comfortable, you know. And I you know,
Speaker 1: I said it earlier in the week. He missed an
Speaker 1: entire year of football, you know, and there's there's no
Speaker 1: substitution for playing, and then sits for play. Played well
Speaker 1: in the preseason, but then sat until the Houston games.
Speaker 1: So you know, I think he's just starting to get
Speaker 1: more comfortable. It's starting to you know, recognize the looks
Speaker 1: he's getting sometimes get into a second receiver at third receiver,
Speaker 1: keeping things alive. You know, we got him out of
Speaker 1: the pocket few times that he threw the ball to
Speaker 1: run real well. Um obviously used him a couple of
Speaker 1: times and some run stuff, you know, so they couldn't
Speaker 1: gang up on the back. And I thought he did
Speaker 1: a really nice job in the decision making aspect of things,
Speaker 1: keeping people on us. So, um, I thought Mark played
Speaker 1: a really clean game today. What allowed him to pick
Speaker 1: up those yards on the ground. We hadn't seen that
Speaker 1: a lot in previous weeks. Yeah, they were trying to
Speaker 1: bend the end and try to take away the back,
Speaker 1: and obviously when you try to outnumbers the quarterback can
Speaker 1: be a weapon at certain points of times during the game. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, we saw some things. I saw some things
Speaker 1: from the sideline and just knew that if they presented
Speaker 1: the same look, there's an opportunity for us to pick
Speaker 1: up some yards. So I thought he did a good job.
Speaker 1: Do you think I don't know if it opened up
Speaker 1: things because we were doing a really good job Lashawan
Speaker 1: and the offensive line was doing a good job for it.
Speaker 1: But I think when the game got into the second half,
Speaker 1: and obviously you have a lead, we're running the ball.
Speaker 1: We ran the ball obviously a lot more in the
Speaker 1: first in the second half than we did in the
Speaker 1: first half, So you know, you're trying to get them
Speaker 1: from ganging up. And when you have the ability for
Speaker 1: the quarterback to run the ball, when you have shotgun runs,
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons you're in shotgun runs because
Speaker 1: they got to defend the quarterback, and if they don't
Speaker 1: defend the quarterback, you're gonna get some clean yards out
Speaker 1: of there. So season, yeah, I mean I've seen the
Speaker 1: team improve as the season has gone along. And uh, um,
Speaker 1: you know, we're besides Nick, we're relatively healthy, you know,
Speaker 1: And I think we've we've we we had our fair
Speaker 1: share early and I think we weathered that storm. And
Speaker 1: I think our guys um are improving. You know. I
Speaker 1: think that their approach to training on a on a
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, you know, I think that their
Speaker 1: daily disciplines, they thrive on those things, and I think
Speaker 1: it's showing right now. And I think we're um, you know,
Speaker 1: we're just getting better, which is good because we're gonna
Speaker 1: play many from football in December, did you get any
Speaker 1: sense from your defensive line during the week that they
Speaker 1: were taking this as an extra challenge, given the fact
Speaker 1: now it was offensive lines getting a lot of it.
Speaker 1: I didn't get that sense, you know, I don't. We
Speaker 1: don't talk about that. We just weren't meeting. We talked
Speaker 1: about what our game plan is and and that stuff.
Speaker 1: We leave that for the everybody everybody else, But we
Speaker 1: didn't talk about that. And that wasn't It's never been
Speaker 1: our mottel. Hey, if this guy is good, let's go,
Speaker 1: you know, crank our game up. I hope you come
Speaker 1: to play no matter who you're playing, you know. And
Speaker 1: and again, you can't say, hey, it's a really good team,
Speaker 1: let's get really excited. Well it's not a really good team,
Speaker 1: so let's not get excited. And in this league, if
Speaker 1: that's your mentality, you're gonna get beat, you know, because
Speaker 1: everybody's really good in this league. So, um, I think
Speaker 1: our defensive line has played well all season long. Um,
Speaker 1: And and again they they rose to the occasion again
Speaker 1: and against a really good offensive line, against a really
Speaker 1: good back so manum, they were in too deep. They
Speaker 1: were in too deep, and and Mark had a great raid.
Speaker 1: The corner kind of sat and we had sprosy coming
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, and and uh Mark made a
Speaker 1: great decision put the ball in the hole. And and
Speaker 1: Mac Mac picked up obviously some yards on after the catch.
Speaker 1: So blis a big matchup for them, I thought, I thought,
Speaker 1: they both you know, and I've thought they've our corners
Speaker 1: have played well, you know, and I know Billy feels
Speaker 1: the same way. The great part of the coaching staff
Speaker 1: and the players all have the same amount of confidence
Speaker 1: in them. So um, I thought, both those guys can
Speaker 1: him up big against a really really good receiver seeming
Speaker 1: league Born tonight, as as a kind of a free
Speaker 1: safety did too. Now, I mean, it just depends on
Speaker 1: the play called. Both Nate Nate had to pick back there,
Speaker 1: Malcolm can play back there. Both of our safeties are interchangeable. Um,
Speaker 1: So it's that that's a great part of it. We
Speaker 1: don't have a box safety and a high safety. Both
Speaker 1: of them can go down depending on what the what
Speaker 1: what they're doing to us offensively, and that's the great
Speaker 1: thing about them. Both of them can cover both of
Speaker 1: them can play high, both of them can play in
Speaker 1: the box, so it made like a statement and division.
Speaker 1: As far as we're not into statements, we're just into
Speaker 1: playing football games. So we've given ourselves an opportunity to
Speaker 1: play meaning of football in December and that's it. And
Speaker 1: in this league, every week, you know, is a whole
Speaker 1: different deal, whole different animals. So it's no, not at
Speaker 1: all what's allowing him. I just think Fletch has been
Speaker 1: just a disruptive force all year long, and we had
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier again and had a lot of sacks,
Speaker 1: but that didn't mean he wasn't playing well, and he's
Speaker 1: been playing at a very very high level. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a he creates a lot of havoc on the
Speaker 1: defensive line, especially in the run stuff. He had a
Speaker 1: big sack again today. Um, he's just starting to come
Speaker 1: to him from from a statistical standpoint, But that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean he wasn't playing well around the year. I think
Speaker 1: he's been our best defensive lineman all year long and
Speaker 1: continues to play at that one at level tomorrow. I
Speaker 1: don't know, well you reported it, so is he less?
Speaker 1: Is he? Okay? Let's let's has got it. What's the
Speaker 1: plan for the next three days. Well, we'll break it
Speaker 1: down as coaches and we'll get some work done for
Speaker 1: Seattle and our players are off until Tuesday. Maybe don't
Speaker 1: look at this as a statement game, but do you
Speaker 1: think it helps for you build a little confidence after
Speaker 1: having gone to Green Bay against a very tough team
Speaker 1: and had a pretty tough day there to cut road
Speaker 1: against some tough tea. No, I don't, you know. And
Speaker 1: I think our message after green Bay is the same thing.
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to flush it and we gotta
Speaker 1: be able to flush it and get ready for a really,
Speaker 1: really good Seattle team. So um, I don't think you'll
Speaker 1: see anybody on our team throwing their arms out of
Speaker 1: soccer patting themselves on the back. So Andrew arders a
Speaker 1: second week's darting would you see from team? You know?
Speaker 1: I think he's just consistent, you know, and then that's
Speaker 1: really kind of what's out and pat and myself felt
Speaker 1: he's just he's a he's one of those he's kind
Speaker 1: of like I said earlier, and I said said case
Speaker 1: se Math is like that. He's steady, Eddie. You know
Speaker 1: what you're getting from them all the time. He's on
Speaker 1: his feet. He's a real smart player. He is versatile
Speaker 1: because he can play a couple of positions. But I
Speaker 1: think him and Lane are starting to really get get
Speaker 1: a real getting sink in terms of playing together and
Speaker 1: understanding what's going on. So I think the last two games,
Speaker 1: I think he's played well for us. Nice guys, All right, Well,
Speaker 1: good stuff there from the head coach Chip Kelly after
Speaker 1: the Eagles victorious Thanksgiving win over the Dallas Cowboys in
Speaker 1: first place, the Dallas Cowboys not in first place. That's
Speaker 1: that's what I'm thankful for today. Yeah, Yeah, great game,
Speaker 1: and we'll see these boys again in two weeks. Yeah, So,
Speaker 1: still a lot of work to be done. We're gonna
Speaker 1: enjoy it for right now, and still a lot of
Speaker 1: work to be done. Here on the postgame Show presented
Speaker 1: by Rigo, we take a break now, but on the
Speaker 1: other side, we'll have more press conferences. We'll hear from
Speaker 1: some of the players from Arlington, and we will also
Speaker 1: hear from you, the Eagles fans. Just call us two
Speaker 1: one five, three, two one fifty one seventy back with
Speaker 1: your phone calls and much more. Right here on the
Speaker 1: postgame Show. Bo Wolf and Ikey's back on the Postgame
Speaker 1: Show presented by Rico and now it's time for the
Speaker 1: third member of our team to come along, Greg co Cell,
Speaker 1: the senior producer from NFL Films, and Gregg is going
Speaker 1: to talk about one of the things that we have
Speaker 1: seen Mark Sanchez do very well since taking over as
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Eagles, and that is throwing on the run.
Speaker 1: We saw that on the twenty seven yard touchdown pass
Speaker 1: to Jordan Matthews in the first quarter. Greg co Cell
Speaker 1: breaks that down. Now, thanks guys. This touchdown to Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews of twenty seven yards was a great concept play.
Speaker 1: It's a concept we've seen a number of times this
Speaker 1: season from Chip Kelly and it's really effective because it
Speaker 1: starts with the Chip Kelly staple, which is stretching the
Speaker 1: perimeter and you can see right here, you're going to
Speaker 1: see the fake in the backfield on the sweep action
Speaker 1: to the right, the fake two Lashawan McCoy. Let's lose that. Now.
Speaker 1: The second part of the and the main part of
Speaker 1: this is now you're going to get Matthews right here.
Speaker 1: He's going to work across the field away from the
Speaker 1: sweep action, so you're going to get the defense flowing
Speaker 1: toward McCoy right here and Matthews working across the field.
Speaker 1: Now they get the perfect defense for this. It ends
Speaker 1: up being a zone concept cover three. So if we
Speaker 1: freeze it for one second, you're going to see a
Speaker 1: single high safety right here ending up in a trail
Speaker 1: position versus Matthews. And the key part of this is
Speaker 1: the backside corner Sterling Moore. He locks up on Riley
Speaker 1: Cooper and you can do that and cover three, particularly
Speaker 1: on the back side. This is technically his zone concept,
Speaker 1: but more locks up man to man here on Cooper
Speaker 1: and his back is turned to Matthews, so you get
Speaker 1: Matthews working across the field. There's a lot of open
Speaker 1: space right here, and Mark Sanchez has been very very
Speaker 1: good throwing the ball off designed boot action, especially to
Speaker 1: his left. Let's play this out. You'll see the really
Speaker 1: well designed play, a beautiful throw, open space, a touchdown
Speaker 1: to Jordan Matthews. We've seen this play before, very similar
Speaker 1: to the touchdown against Carolina. Beautifully designed. All right, thank you, Greg,
Speaker 1: And now we toss it over to Arlington for the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez so efficient and clean. You just kind of
Speaker 1: talk about the rhythm you guys got in, especially those
Speaker 1: first two drives. Yeah, Um, you know, we wanted we
Speaker 1: really wanted to start fast. We wanted to keep our
Speaker 1: tempo going, and I thought we got to establish that.
Speaker 1: You know, really proud of the way we started the
Speaker 1: game for the offense, but across the board, just an
Speaker 1: amazing team win and uh, so much more fun when
Speaker 1: you win this game, so much more fun. So that
Speaker 1: was that was great defense plays so well against a
Speaker 1: really tough rusher and a great offensive unit. Awesome quarterback. Um,
Speaker 1: a team that's never out of it, you know, no
Speaker 1: matter what the score says, because with number nine a
Speaker 1: quarterback that guys, he's really good and he's had some
Speaker 1: big time comeback. So those guys held up tough. Did
Speaker 1: you see anyway on the readoption where random somebody said
Speaker 1: I had twenty seven yards so as better go ice down?
Speaker 1: Hey thanks, Um, so you know we you just got
Speaker 1: to read it out and um, you know, continue to
Speaker 1: trust it. And that was That's been one of the
Speaker 1: toughest things for me. So Uh, coach has been great,
Speaker 1: and that was to be honest. Uh, the one down
Speaker 1: on the goal line Folds has helped out a lot.
Speaker 1: Just when we're watching film and watching run plays and stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, he'll just chime in and say, hey, that's
Speaker 1: a give, this is a key, this is boom. And
Speaker 1: when we're watching his film or other guys film that
Speaker 1: have played Dallas and stuff. So, um, he's been a
Speaker 1: huge help. You've seen it. We've seen it with other
Speaker 1: teams too, and it just depends on if it's right
Speaker 1: or not. And um, you know, so you just gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta read it. You only had forty four few
Speaker 1: yards in Murray rushing touchdown pass the Matthews. Can you
Speaker 1: kind of take us through it? Uh? Shoot, he ran
Speaker 1: a great route. We protected the heck out of it
Speaker 1: and uh got me out of the pocket a little bit.
Speaker 1: And just try to keep him going and stride. You know,
Speaker 1: those are the ones that you know, you try and
Speaker 1: get too cute on it and you almost slow him up.
Speaker 1: You want to just take in a rhythm and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, exhale and let it go. Or the tempo
Speaker 1: on the first the tempo on the first two drives
Speaker 1: seemed like it was it was even faster than you
Speaker 1: had been running. Um up to this point, do you
Speaker 1: feel like as you get more experience in this offense,
Speaker 1: you can you can go even faster. And was that
Speaker 1: an emphasis today? We hope, so you know, and um,
Speaker 1: we never want to get complacent with that. You can
Speaker 1: always go faster, just as coach Kelly, he'll tell you.
Speaker 1: It feels a lot better to win this game. Can
Speaker 1: you speak to two years ago and what happened and
Speaker 1: whether this kind of yeast aside sucked. I ran into
Speaker 1: some guy's button, dropped the ball in the turf and
Speaker 1: they scored. I mean, I don't know if it gets
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like my favorite holiday. So that's not cool.
Speaker 1: That's really a bummer. But you know, the game plan
Speaker 1: was trying not to do that, and we accomplished it.
Speaker 1: So twenty seven yards is Russian is just icing on
Speaker 1: the cake. Talks about one game, sixteen one games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: these the Dallas Cowboys. You mentioned how the people in
Speaker 1: Philadelphi feel about playing the did you kind of sense
Speaker 1: and feel back going into that due to this game.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much put into this game, and
Speaker 1: that's Um, what's great about Coach Kelly is no matter
Speaker 1: how big this thing gets on the exterior, for us
Speaker 1: inside uh, this locker room and stuff. Nothing changed. The
Speaker 1: ball's the same size, the fields the same size, no
Speaker 1: matter how big, and and uh, everybody wants to say,
Speaker 1: you know, this national TV game and this is you know,
Speaker 1: life or death and all that. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta put it in his place.
Speaker 1: I understand what it is and then move on. And
Speaker 1: I'm just really proud of this effort on short such
Speaker 1: a short week. So um, awesome job by the defense
Speaker 1: offensive line. It was just really fun, really fun, and
Speaker 1: we still left a ton of meat on the bone. Man.
Speaker 1: We gosh, we're in the freaking red zone so many
Speaker 1: times and we just um, we didn't converse. So we
Speaker 1: as fun as this is, we'll enjoy it for a
Speaker 1: couple of days, but we sure have a lot of
Speaker 1: work to do. People build out here being Dallas will
Speaker 1: probably having excite the second healths right now. That was good,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, And the end zone was that it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be a back shoulder faith that just kind of
Speaker 1: went off a little bit or oh yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the guy made a pretty good play and um uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I just didn't just didn't go in our favor. So
Speaker 1: I mean he goes over a thousand, Mac goes over
Speaker 1: a thousand. That's uh, really cool accomplishments for those guys.
Speaker 1: And uh whoa echo echo test Hot Mike, what is that? Hello? Hello?
Speaker 1: That was crazy. We're good. Yeah, I mean both of
Speaker 1: those guys they hit some um huge milestones, and um,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. And I know the first thing those guys
Speaker 1: would say is shady can't do it without the guys
Speaker 1: up front, without the receivers blocking down field, without uh
Speaker 1: Gardener stepping up big in the run game. You know
Speaker 1: that that kind of stuff. Um, they're unselfish players, they're
Speaker 1: fun to play with, and this is a tight knit
Speaker 1: group just really is a family, and that I'm happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: An exchangement, I think the third word where you made
Speaker 1: a call a time out of saying something a yeah,
Speaker 1: I just said, you know, we're a family, and families, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, get get heated and get upset, and um
Speaker 1: that's the way it goes, you know. And uh, both
Speaker 1: of us had something to say. We said it and
Speaker 1: that was it and no, but it was I mean
Speaker 1: that's the kind of I'd rather have something like that
Speaker 1: than a guy that's just uninterested, doesn't care isn't ready
Speaker 1: to play, doesn't work as hard as keep you know
Speaker 1: what I mean that he's playing his butt off. And
Speaker 1: that's the best part about something like this is neither
Speaker 1: of us were took it any further. That's it, I mean,
Speaker 1: right or wrong, we move on because we got another
Speaker 1: team to play and uh, you know, no matter what, uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna play together and player butts off
Speaker 1: for each other, uh, whether we're upset or not. So
Speaker 1: that was that was awesome. The storyline of what happened
Speaker 1: let the last time he played on Thanks Given was
Speaker 1: kind of played up a little bit heading to this point.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that that's so weird? I wonder if
Speaker 1: at any point did you did you think about that
Speaker 1: you had time to reflect all kind of worried. No, No,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just been an incredible journey. That the
Speaker 1: whole thing playing in this league, Um, you know, wearing
Speaker 1: a Jets logo, wearing an Eagles logo, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: this is um an absolute dream come true. Um, the
Speaker 1: best of times, the worst of the times, it's still there.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people would love to be
Speaker 1: in this position. You know, no matter what and uh,
Speaker 1: it's I'm very thankful. I'm very blessed. And um, you
Speaker 1: know a lot of family watching back home and just
Speaker 1: wanted to play well for them, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: just throwed about the opportunity turnovers today for the first
Speaker 1: time since she took over for me. I know that's
Speaker 1: a focus every week, but we've bedn't turn over versus Carolina.
Speaker 1: Can you turn it over to them? Okay? Sorry, but
Speaker 1: come on, man, that was huge. That was huge, and um,
Speaker 1: you know we uh, you don't turn it over, You're
Speaker 1: at least gonna give yourself a chance. And that was
Speaker 1: that was great. It was so fun just to zone.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what do you feel like has
Speaker 1: to has to work better? Oh? We got to convert
Speaker 1: and that's better throws, Um, you know, better on uh
Speaker 1: in the run game, better in the past game. We
Speaker 1: gotta get open, I gotta hit guys. It's um, there's
Speaker 1: there's plenty to work on and some really good film
Speaker 1: to watch, so we're I know how these guys are.
Speaker 1: They're going to be enjoying this game. But to be honest,
Speaker 1: Tuesday can't come soon enough. Thanks. Thanks, all right, Well
Speaker 1: there you got Mark Sanchez the victorious quarterback three and
Speaker 1: one now as a starter for the Eagles, two games
Speaker 1: in which he has not turned the ball over to
Speaker 1: blow out victories for the Eagles. Going back to that
Speaker 1: Carolina game from a couple of weeks ago, all right,
Speaker 1: our first phone call of the day on Thanksgiving. We
Speaker 1: stay in Philadelphia, Ernie, Ernie, Happy Thanksgiving? All right, Ernie,
Speaker 1: You've been holding on that one for a while. If
Speaker 1: I had me about ten minute, man, but hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm at work. I'm at work. I had I got
Speaker 1: a chance to watch the game and still was one
Speaker 1: of my favorite Thanksgivings of all time because of the
Speaker 1: way we beat the cow girls. Man, this is awesome. Man,
Speaker 1: I can't wait. But we still gotta get back on
Speaker 1: the horse, cowboys horse to get it. That's good. That's good.
Speaker 1: Still got to get back on the horse. And we
Speaker 1: still gotta beat through the Seahawk next week. And then
Speaker 1: we got these cow girls again. So and then we
Speaker 1: got them again exactly. So let's let's go. Let's let's
Speaker 1: get a poppy. Hey, bro, I'm waiting for that next
Speaker 1: whorlf then too. Man, it's coming up tomorrow every Friday, baby,
Speaker 1: all right, already all right. Well, you know, listen, all
Speaker 1: the people who called them last week on the Puss
Speaker 1: Game Show and said Dallas sucks today, I think God,
Speaker 1: I think they were right. Yeah, I mean, listen, I
Speaker 1: love the way the Eagles came into the game mentally
Speaker 1: and ready to go. You know, they realized what was
Speaker 1: the stake and if they can get a win down
Speaker 1: there in Dallas, that puts Dallas behind the eight ball.
Speaker 1: That gives the Eagles a little breathing room. They have
Speaker 1: the one in the bag already, so when they faced
Speaker 1: this team in two weeks, it isn't such as a
Speaker 1: must win situation like it will be for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: and it would have been for the Eagles had they
Speaker 1: lost this game. So the Eagles go down there still
Speaker 1: a victory on the road. The game wasn't a stolen victory.
Speaker 1: I mean, just to still went on the road in
Speaker 1: your divisions rival's house. Uh, that's big for you. That's
Speaker 1: big for you. You You got Seattle Looman in ten days,
Speaker 1: and it feels good to have this w in the
Speaker 1: bag as opposed to coming off of a loss waiting
Speaker 1: ten days to play a defending Super Bowl champions. So
Speaker 1: we expect to have both Lashaw McCoy and Jeremy math
Speaker 1: And at the podium shortly, but we continue on the
Speaker 1: phone lines with Reggie from California. How are you, Reggie,
Speaker 1: Georgia GA not c A huh geezy man? What's up, Reggie?

Speaker 1: See when your team wins and you got a bunch
Speaker 1: of family members over you Cowboys, a couple of Cowboys fans.
Speaker 1: There are always a couple of Cowboy fans in there. Well.
Speaker 1: Since since our previous caller, Ernie brought up the Wolfson,
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, and this is a good
Speaker 1: insight into the state of mind of the Eagles team
Speaker 1: heading into this game. I interviewed Lane Johnson earlier this
Speaker 1: week under the pretense that this was gonna air on
Speaker 1: Friday and we were gonna be talking about the game
Speaker 1: that just happened, even though we didn't know what was
Speaker 1: going to happen, and he really knew that they were
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run the ball down the throat
Speaker 1: of this Cowboys team. You'll be able to read that
Speaker 1: tomorrow on the Wolfston don't miss that, But for now
Speaker 1: we take one more break here on the post Game Show.
Speaker 1: On the other side, we will bring in a couple
Speaker 1: of new Eagles postgame press conferences. Jeremy Macklin, Lashaw McCoy.
Speaker 1: Your phone calls as well. Two five, three, two zero,
Speaker 1: fifty one seventy all season long, stopped into your local

Speaker 1: Show presented by Rico. Is spending our Thanksgiving with you
Speaker 1: the Eagles fans. After the Eagles dominated the Cowboys thirty
Speaker 1: three to ten on National thank National Thanksgiving for Everybody,
Speaker 1: National TV on Thanksgiving, everybody in the nation watching just
Speaker 1: like they're watching this the Postgame Show on Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot Com. And we bring in our next caller, Seely
Speaker 1: from Virginia. Seely, Happy Thanksgiving, Hey, Happy thanks you man.
Speaker 1: Dallas sucks. Just to start off, thank you. You know,
Speaker 1: I just want to say, hey, you know, we really
Speaker 1: need to get much respect going to this game, and
Speaker 1: I see you in in a respect it's not given, but
Speaker 1: it's earned. Kind of stepped up and you know, you know,
Speaker 1: hey National TV, you know all you heard about was
Speaker 1: your offensive line ten points National Thanksgiving and cut you off,
Speaker 1: Chris unfortunately Thanksgiving, Jeremy Macklin. Time drives and just kind
Speaker 1: of how you doesn't Okay, you're a great tempo going
Speaker 1: and some money blowing you up. Um, I was good
Speaker 1: for us, man. I think that's something that we wanted
Speaker 1: to do coming into this game. Um, we were able
Speaker 1: to kind of run the football. It was kind of
Speaker 1: opened up some stuff for us. And uh after that,
Speaker 1: we were able to kind of go up tempo a
Speaker 1: little fast and more we normally do, so we're able
Speaker 1: to kind of get the edge. It seemed like the
Speaker 1: tempo in that first half was as fast as we've
Speaker 1: ever seen from you guys. Was at a real point
Speaker 1: of ephasis this weekend. Uh Uh tempo is always a
Speaker 1: point of infasis. But uh, I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: once we just kind of got in the rhythm, that's
Speaker 1: we just kept going and going, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: what we do. Um, we're built for it. Um No,
Speaker 1: it's definitely good when anytime you come in the road,
Speaker 1: it's a good win. Uh. But you know that's that's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff we got get better. We gottaet
Speaker 1: gotta get touchdowns in the rhizome. Uh. You know, we
Speaker 1: can't keep settling for three Um, so we gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta fix that. But the milestuff me for you today.
Speaker 1: Uh it feels good, but uh, you know it's part
Speaker 1: of playing football. You know about your bank up fifty
Speaker 1: eight yard catching run there? Um, well they went cover
Speaker 1: to Um I was able to kind of get in
Speaker 1: the hole. Um try to make something happen with the ball.
Speaker 1: You know, a little mad at myself. I didn't get in,
Speaker 1: but uh you know I kind of lost my balance
Speaker 1: a little bit. But uh you know Mark Mark did
Speaker 1: a good job kind of keeping the safety back and
Speaker 1: and and finding me. Three months football, sen, Um no,
Speaker 1: we still got a lot of room to get better.
Speaker 1: I think we're a good football team. Um to be
Speaker 1: a great football team. Um. I think we got some
Speaker 1: stuff we gotta fix up. Um. You know one of
Speaker 1: the things, uh, like I said, we gotta do, we
Speaker 1: gotta get better in the red zone. Got to when
Speaker 1: you're going at that kind of temper, what do you
Speaker 1: see across a line of scrimmage from from the other
Speaker 1: team when when it's going that fast for you guys, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it kind of keeps them really basic, you know,
Speaker 1: it kind of keeps them in uh, um, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of real simple and uh, you know, we just
Speaker 1: kind of run our stuff. So I think that's something
Speaker 1: we definitely lose our advantage getting out to a big,
Speaker 1: big lead on the road in front of a pretty
Speaker 1: you know, fired up crowd and yeah, you know it's huge.
Speaker 1: You know, it settles us down. It also gives a
Speaker 1: defense and on next DAYGGS they can kind of uh
Speaker 1: do some things through some different things at them. We're
Speaker 1: able to kind of get to roam all a little
Speaker 1: bit and um, so it definitely changed the whole game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we got I think we have the ability
Speaker 1: to be a great football too. Like I was saying earlier,
Speaker 1: I just think there's some things that uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta get better at. But I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we're here on our stride. You know. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, we got a butt speak
Speaker 1: up in Lambo so um, you know, but you know
Speaker 1: the great part about this game, you know, you gotta
Speaker 1: lace up your cleats next week and get after it.
Speaker 1: So um, I'm excited about what we do going forward. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, he's showed me that he's he's a competitor,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he um, you know, he's a professional.
Speaker 1: He's won this league at high level before. Um. So
Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job for us. What
Speaker 1: have you seen from the running game? And it seems
Speaker 1: like every week you guys are able to run the
Speaker 1: ball a little bit. Yeah, you know, you know, I think, um,
Speaker 1: this is what we do. We'd like to running football.
Speaker 1: And I think, um, you know, some of the players
Speaker 1: that I've made down the field, some of the players
Speaker 1: of Jordan Coop, um, a lot of us have made,
Speaker 1: Zach Um, it's kind of opened up things a little bit.
Speaker 1: Now people can't uh you know, you can't stack the
Speaker 1: box anymore. We're gonna we're gonna beat you outside. So
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta play us, you know pretty much,
Speaker 1: honest Um, we're gonna're gonna soak This went up for
Speaker 1: a little bit, but uh, you know, it's gonna gonna
Speaker 1: be a tough task in them coming in obviously the
Speaker 1: defending champs, well known players on defense. So I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that. How much we agree to have a few
Speaker 1: days off here, you know, just kind of recover a
Speaker 1: little bit. How it's gonna feel good? You know obviously,
Speaker 1: um no plan on a short week. You know, bodies
Speaker 1: just fatigue, a little tired. But uh, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: still go in there. I'm gonna take care of myself.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna feel good. A thousand yards season, one
Speaker 1: hundred yard game, or are there any milestones that mean
Speaker 1: a lot to you? Or is it all just kind
Speaker 1: of holding us holding that trophy over then in the
Speaker 1: years is gonna mean a lot? So all right, guys,
Speaker 1: all right, well you have it Jeremy mackin. We will
Speaker 1: have the Shawn McCoy coming up in a little bit
Speaker 1: as well. But you feel good for Jeremy Mackin getting
Speaker 1: the thousand yards on the season. Obviously, the tough year
Speaker 1: last year, lost to the tourn acl and he has
Speaker 1: been really the really the best player on the offense
Speaker 1: this season. When you think about the fact that let
Speaker 1: Shawn McCoy has been slow coming here. Jeremy mackin has
Speaker 1: been the guy to make it run, but they got
Speaker 1: to make it run today. And who ran it well
Speaker 1: was Sean McCoy. At what point did you kind of
Speaker 1: know you it was a big day for you in
Speaker 1: the Running Game. I knew we're gonna run the ball.
Speaker 1: That was the game plan. Um, we kind of put
Speaker 1: on the big guys front the shoulders to kind of
Speaker 1: see the game for us and get it back in
Speaker 1: space to run, you know. And and actually with a
Speaker 1: big game I had today, I'm missing yards, you know.
Speaker 1: And then uh, I didn't play like I wanted to play.
Speaker 1: I mean I played good, but I could pay a
Speaker 1: lot better. But that's I mean, that's just all about
Speaker 1: just you know, working hard and getting back to just
Speaker 1: where I want to be at. I think as a
Speaker 1: as a team, as a union. You know, we worked
Speaker 1: hard in the Running Game to day, kept pushing, kept pushing,
Speaker 1: and some big ones broke out for us. You have
Speaker 1: twice as many yards as as the mark up one
Speaker 1: of the twice as many. I know you measure yourself
Speaker 1: by a guy like that? What does what does that
Speaker 1: mean to you? Just to be honest, you know, I
Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot of you know, good backs,
Speaker 1: but I don't really I don't really kind of compare myself.
Speaker 1: I just tried to play my game. I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't take nothing from him because he is a heck
Speaker 1: of a player. And I've always thought that and always
Speaker 1: said that, Like I said before, you know, talking to
Speaker 1: him in the Pro Bowl, I was like, man, you know,
Speaker 1: if they feed you more, there were some some things
Speaker 1: you could do. And then this had some big games,
Speaker 1: twenty yard games before, so he's always been a good player.
Speaker 1: I just don't really get into that whole, especially during
Speaker 1: the season, Who's this, Who's that? Because I know where
Speaker 1: I was staying, Like, you know, they go back and
Speaker 1: forth about it. I know who where I was staying,
Speaker 1: um and and the big picture, you know, we're trying
Speaker 1: to win games. We came here. It wasn't about me
Speaker 1: or him, you know, I obvious say I wanted to
Speaker 1: rush him, just a pride thing, but overall I wanted
Speaker 1: to win the game. And if it happened other way
Speaker 1: around where he had regards me and we won the game,
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's that's cool too. I just think
Speaker 1: the time of where we're act in the season, all
Speaker 1: the talk and stuff that you you guys saying about me,
Speaker 1: about the line and all that mixed up in the
Speaker 1: season where we need to get a big win and
Speaker 1: it all worked out and wholesome, guys, So you used
Speaker 1: to just you know, them guys crashed on the reds
Speaker 1: because they figure we're rather um live with the quarterback
Speaker 1: running the quarterbacks. We have the run, then then let
Speaker 1: Shady get it, you know. But when he when he
Speaker 1: pulls it, he keeps the guys honest, keep honest. And
Speaker 1: I could you know when I get the back and
Speaker 1: run a little bit, so it helps out said, this
Speaker 1: was the best game the offensive line play. Yes, did
Speaker 1: you notice the holes? Yeah? I had so many more
Speaker 1: opportunities that make guys missed one on one. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: so much space. So by far, I mean getting up
Speaker 1: to the blocks wanting to run the ball, giving me space.
Speaker 1: You know that times I had too much space and
Speaker 1: I made the wrong cut. So the game ball really
Speaker 1: belongs to them guys in front for sure, because they
Speaker 1: this is about far their best game and again and
Speaker 1: again back. I mean, now this is kind of like
Speaker 1: my line again, you know. So let's just here's so
Speaker 1: much talk. But this this the guys you know that
Speaker 1: that gets it done. I mean, so that is what
Speaker 1: it is said. This felt like last year, this game
Speaker 1: with the run game. You few that it did. It
Speaker 1: really did just to hold threads um the space the
Speaker 1: one on one may guy's miss um they did it
Speaker 1: felt like last year. Oh my god. I was so
Speaker 1: pissed because it was a fumble like I try to
Speaker 1: it was a cloudy holes I try to jump over
Speaker 1: it and and I had two hands on the ball
Speaker 1: and a guy helmet on the ground hit the ball out.
Speaker 1: So I was just really angry, like like real bad.
Speaker 1: And I never get like that fumble because it happens
Speaker 1: part of the game. Um, you know, so I had
Speaker 1: to make it. I had to make a big play,
Speaker 1: whatever it takes, like you know, give me a little
Speaker 1: hole and I promise you I'm a score. Where he
Speaker 1: played the offenses where the tempo isn't emphasised as it
Speaker 1: is now you talking about from your perspective running this
Speaker 1: kind of tempo. How a heltry game. Oh it helps
Speaker 1: us out because the defense can't get line up or
Speaker 1: right um the right way they like how they want
Speaker 1: to um that the calls they might get in UM,
Speaker 1: because defense is all about responding and reacting to the offense.
Speaker 1: We line up over here, they line up over here,
Speaker 1: so you're going fast. It's hard to get the calls
Speaker 1: and it's hard to get the blitzes constructed the way
Speaker 1: you want. UM, and that works in our favor for sure.
Speaker 1: Footballs album team, Well, I know we can be at
Speaker 1: I think we just UM and you're never gonna get
Speaker 1: a perfect game, but you want something close. UM. Turnovers,
Speaker 1: you know, we want to kind of limit that myself
Speaker 1: and speaking about it from doing it today. UM, you know,
Speaker 1: executing the right way. Those are things that we gotta
Speaker 1: get better at, and I think we can. Especially the
Speaker 1: rand zone for sure. In two games that Gardner started
Speaker 1: the right guard, you had one thirty three and one
Speaker 1: to fifty one or or whatever. He's doing a great job,
Speaker 1: he really is, UM. And it's not just him, it's
Speaker 1: all of them up front just working together, playing together, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and and they've been together for a while,
Speaker 1: and I think just he's did a great job of
Speaker 1: stepping up and having to play a big role and
Speaker 1: he's doing it. Um. You know, I think just to
Speaker 1: play the quarterback and the wide receivers as a whole,
Speaker 1: I think helps out the offense, run games statements. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're reading on the Dogs today for sure, right, how
Speaker 1: much fourteen sutimes like that? Just I don't know. Gallas
Speaker 1: gets a lot of hype. Um, I'm sure everybody took
Speaker 1: them to win. You know, they got good players. But
Speaker 1: I said alone, we had good players too. We got
Speaker 1: a good team. They got a good team, and we
Speaker 1: gotta see him again soon. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: say too much about them. They're a good team. Um.
Speaker 1: I think that every every team has their day. Even
Speaker 1: when we lost the Green Bay I think that day
Speaker 1: they were a lot better than us. But I don't
Speaker 1: think we're playing four, three or four times. I don't
Speaker 1: think they blow us out. Um, you know like that,
Speaker 1: So every team has their day. I'm sure that next
Speaker 1: time we play them will be a tougher game, even
Speaker 1: though it be in Philly. They're offensive. I'm sorry, they're
Speaker 1: offensive line got a lot of hype coming dominant male
Speaker 1: in the room. Did you sense your guys? You know
Speaker 1: we're hearing that during the week, and the the Cowboys offensive
Speaker 1: Bible game from getting so much hype. I mean, I mean, well,
Speaker 1: they are a good officers line for sure. I think
Speaker 1: that the guys are from the defense. That's one of
Speaker 1: the things that Benny was talking about all week, like, hey,
Speaker 1: they're good, but we're good too, and awesome my guys
Speaker 1: up front. I don't think they get enough credit when
Speaker 1: they're fully all healthy and ready to play, and when
Speaker 1: they do, like ta tonight, lads, game, they're bawling out.
Speaker 1: I think just about just being healthy, man, and sticking
Speaker 1: to it, you know. And sometimes it's hard to say
Speaker 1: because the pass game might be working, they might be
Speaker 1: so worried about the run that the pass is working,
Speaker 1: and Ship he's gonna stick with it like he should
Speaker 1: if the run game is working. So, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: so much to talk about, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it's all about wins and losses. You know,
Speaker 1: we're nine and three were number number one, right, so
Speaker 1: I'll talk about I gotta tell you, if I was
Speaker 1: shady wearing that jacket, I would not be leaning on
Speaker 1: the podium. I feel like that's I feel like that's
Speaker 1: a sweet jacket, but it's a one ware jacket. It's
Speaker 1: gonna get dirty. I don't even know if that's a
Speaker 1: sweet jacket about all I know is I'm old. I
Speaker 1: know that I can't. Yeah, I can't wear that jacket.
Speaker 1: I can't wear that jacket. Brother, neither can I. But
Speaker 1: maybe Chris from New York can wear that jacket. He's
Speaker 1: on the line, Chris, Happy Thanksgiving, Chris. What's up Chris?
Speaker 1: And it's going on? Buddy, man, how are you? I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, watching Shady with that jacket. They gotta start
Speaker 1: selling at the press shop. Yeah, it looked like he
Speaker 1: got the Ferrari outside. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. But meet
Speaker 1: me and my wife Joanna. We're just saying here loving
Speaker 1: it man, Like shout out to Joanna's man. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's she's like the number one Eagle fan you can
Speaker 1: ever like I imagine, Like, so, why isn't she the
Speaker 1: one calling? Oh? Because both I'm the dominant. May just
Speaker 1: where where Isn't it nice Chris to uh be able
Speaker 1: to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, enjoy your family and friends today
Speaker 1: as well as getting a big win from your favorite team.
Speaker 1: Get some Dallas cowboy, of course, and we also know
Speaker 1: a couple of Dallas people out there. I'm gonna shout
Speaker 1: him out. Ray, you won't pick up, you won't pick
Speaker 1: up your phone right now, Ray, let's go right Dallas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's it's ay suck. But me, me and Joanna will
Speaker 1: be at that. We'll be at that Eagles Dallas game
Speaker 1: coming up. You know you will definitely be there, you know,
Speaker 1: representing Eagles all the way. And we're from New York,
Speaker 1: you know, but we love silly there, you know, for
Speaker 1: give us something your thankful for, Chris. Yeah, what was
Speaker 1: the best part of your Thanksgiving Day spread? Oh? What
Speaker 1: was the best part? Yeah, the best part of food.
Speaker 1: We're all jealous. Oh man, the best part is when
Speaker 1: the half, when halftime came in and we was dominating them.
Speaker 1: Then you know, you know, like when the halftime came,
Speaker 1: I almost said it might as well hang it up.
Speaker 1: They might as well hang it up, and just started
Speaker 1: kneeling right then, you know, thought about it. You're for real.
Speaker 1: It's a little boat, ain'tle. There's a lot of work, dude,
Speaker 1: Like we gave up a lot of red zone, you know,
Speaker 1: but you know this team is they just play an
Speaker 1: exceptional right now. You know, we keep it up. I
Speaker 1: think we got a chance. Hopefully. That's all you ask
Speaker 1: for is a chance. Sitting into heading into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So nine and three through twelve games certainly gives the
Speaker 1: Eagles a chance and a chance for maybe Lashawn McCoy
Speaker 1: to continue this role that he's on over the last
Speaker 1: two games. We sent it over now to grand Costell,
Speaker 1: who's going to break down that long touchdown run by
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy. Thanks, guys, The Eagles inside zone run A
Speaker 1: beautiful sight to behold when it's executed properly. That was
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy's long touchdown run. Let's take a look at it,
Speaker 1: and it begins with the offensive line. We're gonna start
Speaker 1: with Peters, we have Mathis, we have Kelsey, we have Gardner.
Speaker 1: Now before we run this, I want to stay on
Speaker 1: the left of the screen here with Peters and Mathis,
Speaker 1: because what they need to do is they need to
Speaker 1: block that defensive tackle and work up to the linebacker level.
Speaker 1: And they do that beautifully. Matthis is the key player here,
Speaker 1: and you watch him. He gets up to the second level.
Speaker 1: Beautiful job. Look at that hole. And then you have
Speaker 1: Gardener who does a terrific job getting another linebacker. This
Speaker 1: is really well done. You're gonna see McCoy with that
Speaker 1: kind of hole. He's not going to be stopped by
Speaker 1: arm tackles. This is an inside zone run executed about
Speaker 1: as well as you can execute it. It starts with
Speaker 1: the offensive line kind of a spread out box because
Speaker 1: of the Eagles offense, good angles, good leverage, a beautiful
Speaker 1: touchdown run by McCoy. All right, thank you, Greg. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get ready to work you a little bit more
Speaker 1: because you're gonna replace Ike on the other side here.
Speaker 1: It's been a fun day. I think you've got a
Speaker 1: little bit of the itis. You're ready to go home,
Speaker 1: take that nap. But I want to ask you what
Speaker 1: you're thankful for before before we part ways. So much
Speaker 1: to be thankful for a bowl obviously, great health, to have,
Speaker 1: wonderful family, wife and kids, wonderful friends. I have a
Speaker 1: wonderful job. So much to be thankful for. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you but at the top of my list, you're
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I am thankful that I had this job.
Speaker 1: I have the number one producer in the city most
Speaker 1: of you don't get to see. His name is Fran Duffy,
Speaker 1: does a great job of producing Eagle shows. And I
Speaker 1: just assured myself I'll be here next Thanksgiving by saying
Speaker 1: that I'm thankful that I have fran Duffy's you are
Speaker 1: You are a very smart man, very smart man. Listen
Speaker 1: to fran Duffy on the Eagle Eye in the Sky
Speaker 1: podcast and also Eagles Beekly the smartest man in the building. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I agree. I agree. All right. Well,
Speaker 1: we were back with more on the other side on
Speaker 1: the postgame show presented by Rico. Hopefully we'll hear a
Speaker 1: little bit more from some of the other Eagles in
Speaker 1: the locker room after the Eagles took out the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: and Greg co Sell will join me to take more
Speaker 1: of your phone calls. Two one three, two zero fifty
Speaker 1: one seventy. Let's take a look at the Eagles upcoming
Speaker 1: schedule presented by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster. For
Speaker 1: the only one hundred percent verified way to buy or
Speaker 1: sell NFL tickets, visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Bo
Speaker 1: Wolf and greco Sell back in the postgame show next week. Greg,
Speaker 1: We're looking at the Seattle Seahawks, who are currently I
Speaker 1: think tide zero zero with the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: Eagles fans, I'm sure going double screen here watching the
Speaker 1: postgame show and scouting the Seahawks a little bit. But
Speaker 1: tell me what you think about that possible matchup. What's
Speaker 1: not a possible matchup? It is a matchup. Well, it's
Speaker 1: a possible matchup in that it's possible something happens. None
Speaker 1: of us are here next week. Okay, so you're gonna
Speaker 1: you know what happens, Well, maybe the league's canceled Tony.
Speaker 1: I think, as a lot of people will probably see
Speaker 1: watching the game tonight, Seattle is not a really explosive
Speaker 1: offensive team. They're a very simple offensive team. They will
Speaker 1: relive very much on their quarterback to make plays with
Speaker 1: his legs, and then you've got to stop Marshawn Lynch
Speaker 1: and Wilson and Lynch go together because there's so much
Speaker 1: shotgun read option, so you have to defend that. That's
Speaker 1: the starting point for Seattle's offense. They're very simplistic in
Speaker 1: the past game. They really don't beat you throwing the football.
Speaker 1: So it really comes down to the ability to stop
Speaker 1: the run, try to make them throw the football, try
Speaker 1: to get them to long yardage situations. I feel good
Speaker 1: about this. Last week here we were talking about the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and you said, meant to Marco Murray was a
Speaker 1: pedestrian running back. Just okay, that turns out. And then
Speaker 1: today you say that this Seks have a simple offense.
Speaker 1: They do. Well, that's true. Well both things are true.
Speaker 1: Really all right, Well that's good. I'm I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to the game. All right. We send it out to
Speaker 1: our old friend Ray from Kentucky on the line, Ray,
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving to you? What's up? Ray? Y'all got me
Speaker 1: already birthday present today? Oh Thanksgiving present for you? A
Speaker 1: few cowboys are turkeys. I want all the guys for
Speaker 1: giving me. I really love it, all right, Ray, what
Speaker 1: was the best part of your Thanksgiving was to spend
Speaker 1: time with my family and be able to watch the Amen?
Speaker 1: Amen to them? Thank you Ray? All right? Well, Greg,
Speaker 1: we haven't really talked to you much about what what
Speaker 1: transpired in this game, hous So you broke down some
Speaker 1: of those Trady runs. But what did you think the
Speaker 1: Eagles did offensively to get the running game going? Well,
Speaker 1: in all honesty, I don't think they necessarily did anything special.
Speaker 1: They ran their plays against a defense. Quite honestly, that's
Speaker 1: not a very good defense. See, this cowboy defense has
Speaker 1: been able to be compensated for by the play of
Speaker 1: the Cowboy offense. Sure. So what the Eagles did by
Speaker 1: starting out the way they did is they attacked and
Speaker 1: probably a below average NFL defense and they dominated, which
Speaker 1: is exactly what they had to do on the road.
Speaker 1: And by doing that, they sort of took to some
Speaker 1: degree the Cowboy offense out of the game. And then
Speaker 1: when the Cowboy offense tried to run the football, particularly early,
Speaker 1: the Eagles were very, very good defensively. A lot of
Speaker 1: those Murray runs int being five or six yards, which
Speaker 1: keeps you on schedule. Most of them were two or
Speaker 1: three yards. Maybe, yes, you've got a three yard carry
Speaker 1: a right, right, particularly early in the game. I think
Speaker 1: it's first eleven twelve carry. Well, he ended up I
Speaker 1: think with maybe three point five, but early in the
Speaker 1: game seven believe early in the game they were very
Speaker 1: short runs. So, but I think the offensive tempo and
Speaker 1: really taking advantage of a below average NFL defense set
Speaker 1: the stage for this game, set the tone, and it
Speaker 1: was really offense was really good. Well, last week you
Speaker 1: told us that you know, Shady was a better running back,
Speaker 1: pure running back er, markam Ray. How does he compare
Speaker 1: to Marshawn Lynch. Who would you rather have? Oh? There see,
Speaker 1: they're very different, but hard because they're they're very very
Speaker 1: different runners. I mean, I'm putting me under Shady is
Speaker 1: a space runner. Marshawn Lynch is a confined space runner. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's hard to compare. I mean, there's no back
Speaker 1: in the end. Off ask what's your favorite fruit? And
Speaker 1: I understand that an apple is different than an orange,
Speaker 1: But which would you rather have? Who would you rather have?
Speaker 1: Shady or Marshall Lynch. I can only answer that by
Speaker 1: saying that it depends on your offense. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: run power in the Greg co cell designed offense, the
Speaker 1: offense of your dreams. Well, let's put it this way.
Speaker 1: If you're going to run the Chip Kelly offense, Lashawn
Speaker 1: McCoy is a much better back than mars Shawn Lynch.
Speaker 1: If you're going to ask your back to stick it
Speaker 1: up inside between the tackles, run after run, then mars
Speaker 1: Shawn Lynch is a better back. So Lashaw McCoy is better.
Speaker 1: That's there you go, Okay, All right, back to the
Speaker 1: phone lines. Kenny from New York on the line, Kenny,
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving to you. I wouldn't give it to you too,
Speaker 1: wolf Man. And how are you going to put on
Speaker 1: the spot like that? Man? That's all right, I can Kenny,
Speaker 1: I can handle myself. You know, everybody wants simple one
Speaker 1: word answers to these questions. It doesn't work like that,
Speaker 1: only because you don't let it work like that. No,
Speaker 1: because it doesn't work like that. Greg, I love you
Speaker 1: on the podcast, man on the Eagle podcast. But shout
Speaker 1: out a friend, Jeff again. Um it's out to fray
Speaker 1: um um man, great great beat of the game. I
Speaker 1: love I love the game playing. Um. We we're looking awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great win today. But you got
Speaker 1: to get better in the red zone. Man, I need
Speaker 1: to see more consistency. I mean, you know to you know,
Speaker 1: be going into December now, mane so we gotta stoll
Speaker 1: up putting the po We left a lot of meat
Speaker 1: on the bones one them jobs. Adallace stuck. You lot
Speaker 1: have a lot of meat on the bone. And I
Speaker 1: didn't like that. But you know, it's a great game overall.
Speaker 1: And you know, um have a great Eagles dating man.
Speaker 1: All right, you too, Kenny. We'll we'll talk about the
Speaker 1: red Joe in the second. I want to know, though,
Speaker 1: what was the best part of your Thanksgiving? We lost you?
Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk a little bit about the red
Speaker 1: zone grade because it is the one area of improvement
Speaker 1: for the Eagles area that they need to improve after
Speaker 1: this game. Everything else really went pretty well. Two for
Speaker 1: five in the red zone, I think, or maybe it
Speaker 1: was worse than that, but well there you go. On
Speaker 1: that's not right. Thanks for at least two touchdods in
Speaker 1: the red zone. But what did you think? How can
Speaker 1: they how can they get better in the red zone? Well,
Speaker 1: I think when they've been at their best in the
Speaker 1: red zone, we've seen a lot of really interesting play concepts, sure,
Speaker 1: different kind of play designs, and I think they have
Speaker 1: to get back to that because I remember, you know,
Speaker 1: Fran and I because we have to this is Fran show,
Speaker 1: obviously religion Fran again. But Fran and I used to
Speaker 1: talk all the time about the different kinds of route
Speaker 1: concepts that the Eagles would run in the past game
Speaker 1: in the red zone that would break down defenses because
Speaker 1: you know what coverages you get in the red zone.
Speaker 1: Red zone is very specific. You know what you're gonna get,
Speaker 1: you know how to break it down again. It's hard
Speaker 1: to say they've gotten away from that. I certainly can't
Speaker 1: say that in this game without seeing the tape. But
Speaker 1: we saw a fade to Riley Cooper, which I don't
Speaker 1: know my failing, but I'm not a big fan of
Speaker 1: fades in the red zone, especially not the rally Cooper. Well,
Speaker 1: there you go. So I think you want to get
Speaker 1: back to some of those concepts that truly break down
Speaker 1: the defense. All right, back to the phone lines we go.
Speaker 1: Brian from Virginia. Brian, the first question for you? What
Speaker 1: was the best thing you ate today? Turkey? Nice, good answer,
Speaker 1: jell Us. Hello, So what do you think of the game?
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. It's like I can't
Speaker 1: say enough about it. I can't say enough about it.
Speaker 1: And we had some cowboys fans and there too, they
Speaker 1: were so married. It was a it was a beautiful
Speaker 1: thing to watch. Yes the world. Yes, all right, Well, Brian,
Speaker 1: thank you for your call, thank you for enjoying the
Speaker 1: game with us, and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Speaker 1: Obviously you're gonna wait to watch the tape for this,
Speaker 1: but I do want to ask if you notice any
Speaker 1: difference with Andrew Gardner right guard if if anything different
Speaker 1: is working for the Eagles there. Well, I thought the
Speaker 1: Eagles all the line played really well as a whole
Speaker 1: just watching the game, because I thought that McCoy had
Speaker 1: a lot of space. McCoy's the kind of runner if
Speaker 1: he sees initial space. There's no better back in the
Speaker 1: league than McCoy, and I thought there were a lot
Speaker 1: of runs in this game where he had initial space.
Speaker 1: Would you say that Andrew Gardner really puts the guard
Speaker 1: in Gardner? Are you performing somewhere during this week? Because
Speaker 1: if you are, they should probably cancel you. That's probably true,
Speaker 1: But it's Thanksgiving weeks, so there's there's openings for people
Speaker 1: who necessarily wouldn't have him otherwise a little too much
Speaker 1: egnag Apple site or whatever it is. Well maybe after okay,
Speaker 1: all right, back to the phone lines. Chris from New York.
Speaker 1: Is this the same Chris from New York or a
Speaker 1: new Chris from New York? No, No, this is the
Speaker 1: this is the better Chris from New York. Okay, what's up, Chris?
Speaker 1: First off, the Cowboys stuck? Thank you quick? Favorite favorite
Speaker 1: thing you ate today? Favorite thing I ate today? Actually?
Speaker 1: My apple pie? I love this team. Okay, solid slid.
Speaker 1: All right, now to the rest of your call. I mean,
Speaker 1: since you know I haven't been able to call much,
Speaker 1: I wanted to say all the people that landed Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly when he kept these guys that were like, oh,
Speaker 1: these guys aren't that good. They're just good. Special team
Speaker 1: inspired well, our special teams as a reason we're eight
Speaker 1: and three. So I want to give kudos to Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly for picking special teams players. Absolutely, that's fair, Listen.
Speaker 1: They made it. They made a concerted effort in the
Speaker 1: off season to bring in players to improve the special teams,
Speaker 1: and the Eagles have had the best special teams in
Speaker 1: the league this season. There's there's really no question question
Speaker 1: about it, all right, And I just think a lot
Speaker 1: of people blasphem them to begin us kudos to Him's
Speaker 1: happy thanks Giving to you, I Coppy, thanks you in
Speaker 1: the Battle the Wolfston is actually one of my favorite
Speaker 1: things nowadays. No, thank you. I hate to admit it. Well,
Speaker 1: why would you hate to admit that, because he's a
Speaker 1: reasonable thinking man. Yeah, well, even reasonable thinking people can
Speaker 1: enjoy the wolf You'll see you'll have to see it
Speaker 1: tomorrow on Philadelphi Eagles dot Com. All right, guys, thank
Speaker 1: you very much, have a happy Thanks you, Evan, and
Speaker 1: once to the end the Cowboys stuck. All right, thank
Speaker 1: you very much. Chris. All right, we'll take we'll take
Speaker 1: a little break here on the postgame Show presented by Ricco.
Speaker 1: On the other side, taking more of your phone calls.
Speaker 1: Two one five, three, two zero fifty one seventy. When
Speaker 1: you call, be ready to tell us what the best
Speaker 1: thing you ate today was. And of course we're also
Speaker 1: gonna hear from some Eagles after the victory the thirty
Speaker 1: three to ten domination of the Cowboys. Fletcher Cox and
Speaker 1: Trent Cole on the way, Oh Wolf and Greco sell
Speaker 1: back on the postgame Show presented by Rico, and now
Speaker 1: we send it down to Florida. Jared is on the line. Jared,
Speaker 1: tell us best thing you y today? Hey? Um, Actually
Speaker 1: the best thing I had today was punkin Pie. I
Speaker 1: love punkin Pie, so very solid. All right now, now
Speaker 1: now what you really call for? Okay? Well, actually, to
Speaker 1: tell you the truth, I saw Jerry Jones and he
Speaker 1: was given out the gobbler. And you know Jerry Jones,
Speaker 1: I like him. He's a good owner and he's all
Speaker 1: for his players. But you don't see Jeff Lury a lot.
Speaker 1: And I think Jeff Lury is one of the best
Speaker 1: owners in the league. And I don't know why we
Speaker 1: don't get more he doesn't get more credit for that.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been an owner for a while. The
Speaker 1: Eagles are always competitive since he's owned them, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean we always have a good coach,
Speaker 1: we have good assistant coaches, we have a great organization.
Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of the other owners, like
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, you know, you hear about them all the time. Fine,
Speaker 1: but you don't hear too much about Jeff Lory. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for the college, Jared. We are going to
Speaker 1: clip that out and put it on the front page
Speaker 1: of the homepage on Philadelphagos dot com. But it's true,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Learry, you know, a good a good leader stays
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. And let's let's the people who are
Speaker 1: supposed to do their jobs do their jobs. Well, I
Speaker 1: think that Jeffrey Larry probably does not feel as if
Speaker 1: he's a football expert. Well there you go, he's not
Speaker 1: the GM. So all right, we sent it down to Arlington. Now,
Speaker 1: Trent Cole on the line. Trent Cole love Is playing
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and what a thanksgiving it was for him
Speaker 1: the Eagles Cowboys. How special was this win tonight? Very special?
Speaker 1: You know, you know it's been it's been a long
Speaker 1: road man, and teams stay together. We've always faulted in
Speaker 1: and like I said, it's just it's just a great
Speaker 1: overall win, you know, and thanksgiving to us going into
Speaker 1: this little break we got and you know, now let's
Speaker 1: get get her his focus onto the cl Seahawks. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm back in the link. I mean it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: We can't be no better place to to, you know,
Speaker 1: just go out here and finis and finished his journey.
Speaker 1: Why were you guys able to have such success against
Speaker 1: the markam world early in the game. Um, everybody doing
Speaker 1: their jobs holding the gaps containment. I mean, guys were playing.
Speaker 1: It was just we we did what we supposed to do.
Speaker 1: You know, We're out there executed on our plays and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, like guy with him, they want to get
Speaker 1: the marcol Mry out into you know and getting around
Speaker 1: on the edges and get him out, and we just
Speaker 1: kept him containing. You know, he we knew he's gonna
Speaker 1: went that CNB gap and uh, you know, we just
Speaker 1: you know, got out there. They went away from the
Speaker 1: stretch runs that they've been so successful with. Did you
Speaker 1: notice that through the course of the game that they
Speaker 1: stopped going to it? Uh, kind of noticed it. But
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, they wanted to get to
Speaker 1: the edges. But they you know, everybody was, we was
Speaker 1: holding edges and everybody was was turning in. And that's
Speaker 1: what we want to do because you know, we've got
Speaker 1: guys inside, um Fletcher Cox, Uh, you know, Benny Logan, Uh,
Speaker 1: Cedric Thornton and any all them guys and and bow
Speaker 1: and um, Brian Brer. I mean them guys are just uh,
Speaker 1: our d lines great, you know down there. You know
Speaker 1: they they work hard, you know, in practice and and
Speaker 1: it shows. You know, the guys you know ask you know,
Speaker 1: he he works as the deck. You know, we work out,
Speaker 1: We practice with them, you know in the beginning of
Speaker 1: the practice and uh and uh, you know it all
Speaker 1: pays off. You know what we do in the days
Speaker 1: we got leading up to the game, it shows on
Speaker 1: the field. Fletcher and Benny talked this week about how
Speaker 1: they felt disrespected by the national media and the Cowboys
Speaker 1: offensive line is getting all this attention. What kind of
Speaker 1: statement do you think they made tonight with their performances? Hey,
Speaker 1: it's no better better place to be the underdog, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: they were fueled them guys coming in the game, and
Speaker 1: guys are pretty fueled. So next time, if anybody wants
Speaker 1: to say something, you know, and want to say something
Speaker 1: about our d line and about their line, you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, be smart about it, because you're gonna
Speaker 1: feel them guys, and them guys when they're motivated and
Speaker 1: got you know, and they got some motivation and this
Speaker 1: is extra motivation on top of one and going there
Speaker 1: in the win. So, like I said, let's be smart
Speaker 1: about how you which you say, well, of course, Eagles
Speaker 1: Nation extends throughout the globe. And so now we have
Speaker 1: a call from Hawaii. It's Becky Joe on the line.
Speaker 1: Becky Joe, have you even had your Thanksgiving feast yet?
Speaker 1: Is it is it too early? Oh? No? Turkey and
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie my favorite? All right, beautiful, beautiful, very jealous.
Speaker 1: What did you think of the game? Okay, So I
Speaker 1: love the Eagles. They dominated and as a team they're awesome.
Speaker 1: I have two sons, one's a Cowboys fan, and assured
Speaker 1: me that nobody beats the Cowboys on burn Day, and
Speaker 1: I said, records will be broken by the Eagles. And
Speaker 1: you're right awesome. And I gotta tell you, hey, I
Speaker 1: haven't heard a girl call and Lashawn McCoy's jacket. I
Speaker 1: love it on white, very classy and I like it too.
Speaker 1: I just don't think I can pull it off. Oh
Speaker 1: well it who cares? It looks good. I think you
Speaker 1: can pull it off. I appreciate that, Becky Joe, thank
Speaker 1: you very much. I love I love the Eagles, and
Speaker 1: hey to the defensive line, bar One, I love that guy,
Speaker 1: all of them. They just go together there as a team.
Speaker 1: That's the part that I love about him. Becky Joe,
Speaker 1: you must be here producing with us because thank you
Speaker 1: for the calling and happy Thanksgiving to you. But now
Speaker 1: it's time to transition to that defensive line. What a
Speaker 1: game for Fletcher Cox. We'll talk about him in a second,
Speaker 1: Greig after we hear from him down in Arlington, but
Speaker 1: he has been outstanding all season long. Should be headed
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl. Let's hear from Fletcher Cox, who
Speaker 1: walked the walk after talking to talk Fletch. You're tired,
Speaker 1: but how does it feel demolishing the Cowboys thirty three
Speaker 1: to time? Man? It feels great. Man. We knew coming
Speaker 1: in his game that we were playing a real good
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys team, and we knew it was gonna start
Speaker 1: up front with the D line. And I think we
Speaker 1: said to town earlier, fed off the offense. You know,
Speaker 1: they went out first draft school. It was fun. You know,
Speaker 1: the world watched this game a lot of it because
Speaker 1: I think they learned something about your front three. Well,
Speaker 1: I think they learned a lot. I mean, we played
Speaker 1: Dallas in two weeks and I'm excited. I'm excited to
Speaker 1: play them again. Do you think they'll be talking about
Speaker 1: the Egos front three instead of Dallas is front five?
Speaker 1: Never know, We're just gonna stay humble about it. Had
Speaker 1: a quiet confidence like we had all season, and uh,
Speaker 1: this is get ready to play. But first you gotta play.
Speaker 1: I gotta play. Got a place, you gotta last a week.
Speaker 1: But why did you guys, I mean, you guys are
Speaker 1: a quiet group. Why did you guys this last few
Speaker 1: days going into this game and speak up about I mean,
Speaker 1: sometimes you get fair at Eagles Cowboys? How special? It
Speaker 1: was just win tonight? Very special, you know. You know
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a long road man, and uh,
Speaker 1: teams stay together. We bought fletch. You guys are a
Speaker 1: quiet group. Why did you guys this last few days
Speaker 1: going into this game and speak up about I mean,
Speaker 1: sometimes you get fed up with some type of stuff.
Speaker 1: And I'm probably one of the most quiet person in
Speaker 1: your own I mean I never talked a lot of
Speaker 1: smack about no what, no team because I know we're
Speaker 1: in the NFL and everybody's good. So I mean, just
Speaker 1: at the point this week, but some guys probably got
Speaker 1: time to hear them about it. You guys spoke up,
Speaker 1: and I speak for myself. I spoke up, and you know,
Speaker 1: and I said, um, we didn't get the credit that
Speaker 1: we deserved. You know, we had to go out and
Speaker 1: put it on tape. So that was the greatest thing
Speaker 1: about it. If you're not gonna play it on take,
Speaker 1: you been doing that. You guys put your neck out
Speaker 1: a little bit and on the line, man, don't you think? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think everybody played great. Man. The whole defense, collectively, offense,
Speaker 1: special team did a great job. And I just want
Speaker 1: to enjoy our days often. Get ready to go on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: could you send any frustration on on either Murray's part
Speaker 1: of the offensive line part that you guys are hitting
Speaker 1: out away? Well, I mean you could tell that later
Speaker 1: in the game that Tunnel was just laying down. Um,
Speaker 1: I think he was kind of hurt a little bit,
Speaker 1: but we got off him. Knew in the last two
Speaker 1: weeks that he really never been hit a whole lot
Speaker 1: of it. He knew that coming into the game that
Speaker 1: we had to get out after him. Hit him early,
Speaker 1: hit him off. And as I said earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: was this your best game as an Eagle? I would
Speaker 1: say it was one of my best games. But that
Speaker 1: come off guys during their job, like Trent set Edge
Speaker 1: and Counterston Edge and Buny stuff in the middle. It's
Speaker 1: not just me, it's it's the guys around me to
Speaker 1: did at their job and you know it kind of
Speaker 1: made it easy for them. Well, Greg, all weeks this
Speaker 1: Eagle's defensive line taking unbridge at the coverage and praise
Speaker 1: heaped upon the Cob his offensive line, they felt that
Speaker 1: they were disrespected. They certainly played the better of the
Speaker 1: two today. What do you think of Fletcher Cons's performance
Speaker 1: really on the season and also this group as a whole.
Speaker 1: I think Fletcher Cox has just gotten better and better
Speaker 1: and better as the season has progressed. You know a
Speaker 1: lot of people might say, I'm sure Bill Davis would
Speaker 1: say the same thing, that he'd even be better if
Speaker 1: he was a three technique in a four to three,
Speaker 1: But he's he's really played in this three four defense
Speaker 1: exceptionally well. He's gotten really good as a run defender.
Speaker 1: He really is able to stack and shed blocks, which
Speaker 1: we saw numerous times today. And I think I've told
Speaker 1: you before, I think this three man D line with
Speaker 1: Thornton and Benny Logan for the most part this season,
Speaker 1: has played at a really high level. And I don't
Speaker 1: think you can say enough about Michael Kendricks now that
Speaker 1: he's back, because I think Michael Kendricks has a chance.
Speaker 1: He won't won't be this year, but I think Michael
Speaker 1: Kendricks has a chance to be an All Pro player.
Speaker 1: He has that kind of dynamic physical skill set. There
Speaker 1: you go, good stuff from from Greg co Sell and
Speaker 1: now we bring in our final call of the day
Speaker 1: on the postgame show presented by Rico Thanksgiving the We
Speaker 1: top it off with Tony from California, how are you Tony, Tony.
Speaker 1: Best thing you ella sucks? Um. I had some turkey
Speaker 1: sandwiches today. Sandwich. That's all right, I'll take it. I
Speaker 1: was just wondering if if that's nineteen eighty five Eddie
Speaker 1: Murphy was going to ask McCoy for his jacket back. Okay, good,
Speaker 1: that's a good line to this. Like that, what you
Speaker 1: got one more? Let me see now, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to leave that to you, Okay, Salid, What do you
Speaker 1: think about heading into the final four games of the
Speaker 1: season at top the NFC East. I think we look good.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the red zone a little bit. I
Speaker 1: think we need to spread the field a little bit. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, those those dumb passes at sprowsies out in
Speaker 1: the flats seemed to, you know, be unstoppable. I wish
Speaker 1: they would get a little bit more towards that. They
Speaker 1: seemed to just dive up the middle every time. I
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's reasonable tone, and we thank
Speaker 1: you for the call. You know, Darren Spoils and Lashaan
Speaker 1: McCoy really for them matter, both seem to beat guys
Speaker 1: almost ninety percent at a time one on one on
Speaker 1: the open field. Obviously, those are matchups you'd like to
Speaker 1: create if you can, but they're I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: it's not worth trying at times in the red zone,
Speaker 1: but the red zones tighter, there's not quite as much
Speaker 1: open field. The defense gets there quicker, and you see
Speaker 1: the Eagles have a one game lead here, but because
Speaker 1: they have such a better record within the division and
Speaker 1: they've already beaten the Cowboys centerhead, it's really sort of
Speaker 1: a two game lead on that division. So Eagles in
Speaker 1: very good shape heading into the final four games in
Speaker 1: terms of winning. It's very excited about the next game
Speaker 1: against Seattle. I'm excited too. And what makes you so
Speaker 1: excited about this game because it's such an interesting clash
Speaker 1: of style. Yes, because I think Seattle's defense when they
Speaker 1: play at their best, which hasn't been the case as
Speaker 1: much this year. Last year they were an historic defense
Speaker 1: in terms of the numbers they put up. But it's
Speaker 1: a defense at its best that's very very difficult to
Speaker 1: play against, and at its best, it's not a complex defense.
Speaker 1: So this tempo, I'm not saying the tempo won't bother them.
Speaker 1: It bothers everybody to a certain degree. But They're not
Speaker 1: a defense that does fifteen different things. They're not that multiple.
Speaker 1: They truly do line up and play. They just do
Speaker 1: it really, really well with great speed and discipline. So
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated just from a tactical standpoint as a football guy.
Speaker 1: With the Eagles speed, tempo offense against the Seahawks fast,
Speaker 1: physical defense should be a very interesting week in a
Speaker 1: very interesting game next Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Of course,
Speaker 1: we will get you ready throughout the week on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot Com will have more coverage of this victory
Speaker 1: over the Cowboys throughout the weekend. Don't miss the wolfstend tomorrow. Gregg,
Speaker 1: what are you most thankful for? Well, I'm not supposed
Speaker 1: to be most thankful for fran Duffy well as we
Speaker 1: all are as we all are, yes, aside from France,
Speaker 1: that we both worked orange into our wardrobes, and I
Speaker 1: have to give that a lot of thought. No, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, when you're when you're married as long as
Speaker 1: I am, and you have two kids, two great kids
Speaker 1: who are getting older, you know you'll back on a
Speaker 1: lot of really good years. You always wish you could
Speaker 1: have them back. But you're really thankful that you had
Speaker 1: them and that there's hopefully many more to come. That
Speaker 1: was very sweet, very touching. Shout out to the co
Speaker 1: Sell family. There you go, Thanks for letting us spend
Speaker 1: some time with Greg on this Thanksgiving. We know, we
Speaker 1: know that they probably wanted you there, they did, but
Speaker 1: you know I told him I much rather be with you.
Speaker 1: That's well, that is the truth, that's for sure. We
Speaker 1: thank you for watching on the postgame show presented by Rico.
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for my family as well. Shout out to
Speaker 1: all of them, and we will keep you updated throughout
Speaker 1: the week here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Lots of
Speaker 1: coverage coming. We will see you next Sunday.
