WEBVTT - Post-Game Show: Eagles Win 32-27 vs Redskins 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:50.440 M thirty two to twenty seven is your final score 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:56.040 of the Eagles takedown Washington, Ike Greece. Amy Campbell welcoming 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.760 you into our postgame show presented by Rico. I have 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.800 the pleasure being joined by our alumni captain of the game. 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.880 Eagles Fans. Your thoughts on this win in game number 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.720 one for the Eagles want to oh to start the season. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.160 We'll started off at a little nerve racking, right, you know, 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.600 I think some of the russ from the preseason showed up, 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.680 but I love the way the guys made the adjustments 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.039 and got it going in the second half. At the 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:20.920 end of the day, you're one to OH. And that's 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.160 what everybody wants to stepped on that field today, is 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.920 that they got to w Obviously some things to work 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.680 on that's going to benefit the coaches because that they're 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.280 a win. You want to have things that you can 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.080 keep these guys locked in for the following week. There's 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.240 enough that needs to be worked on so this team 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.319 can be even better and get off to a faster 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.160 start next week. But I love the fact they came 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.080 out in the second half and they really started to 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.640 show what this team can be. You know, the reason 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.320 why so many people are excited about this ball club, 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.600 the way they put this roster together. It really showed 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.160 itself today in the second half, absolutely, and come from 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.240 a seventeen point deficit. That you talk about the fast 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.040 starts being the emphasis, and that was not what we 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.200 saw today, but really turned it on. Do you think 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.400 that that is possibly a result of just the new 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.200 evolving preseason and the fact that we didn't see a 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.520 lot of the starters getting majority of the reps in 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.720 those preseason games, that there was a little bit of 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.000 that rust to knock office things got going. I do 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.960 think it was a factor in it. And it's not 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:21.960 to make an excuse. I think it's what you're going 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.480 to see around the league. And it doesn't always lend 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.160 itself to poor offense. It can sometimes lend itself to 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.520 poor defense because these guys haven't had a chance to 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.840 be out there communicating with each other, and it doesn't 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.360 take much to have a big play go against you 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.079 if you have miscommunication on the defensive side of the ball, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.440 particularly in the secondary, and you leave someone open in 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.040 a deep portion of the field. And I thought Washington 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.200 in that first half was able to take advantage of 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.240 our secondary. We just didn't look like we were in 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.000 sync from a communication standpoint, and they were able to 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.000 sort of correct some of those things. You think about 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.880 it Amy after that big touchdown to put Washington up 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.880 seventeen to three, the Eagles basically held under three points 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.560 from for the majority of two plus quarters until that 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.840 final touchdown of the game. So I like the adjustments 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.360 the defense made. I knew the offense would get it 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.200 going eventually. They're just too talented to be held down 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.400 for an entire game. But the defense I thought was 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.840 also a little bit off in the first half that 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.600 allowed Washington to get some confidence put some points on 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.720 the board. The defense made adjustments. They looked much better 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.280 in the second half until a little bit of the 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.560 prevent defense late in the game. Well, of course, you 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.880 always look at how does the team come out of 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.040 the second half, and the great ones really do make 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.119 those adjustments. Let's talk about one of the best parts 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.000 of the game. I know Eagles fans were super excited 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.120 to see Deshan Jackson back like he never left. And 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.440 we have a little news for you, Mike Quick. You 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.880 are now bumped out of that number eight slot for 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.560 most receptions in Eagles history. DeShawn Jackson ties that number 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.680 eight spot with three hundred and sixty three with most 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.360 receptions in Eagles history. Pretty exciting stuff there for him. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.480 Look at that. That chemistry that he developed a Carson 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.320 Wentz that we heard about really showed up today. Yeah. 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.800 I think this is why everyone is excited to get 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.760 the Sean back in Midnight Green. He's excited to be 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.120 back in Midnight Green. You're talking about arguably the best 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.520 deep ball receiver in the history of the National Football League, 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.960 Ladies and gentlemen, not just the Philadelphia Eagles. We know 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.960 he's the best in the franchise's history. I'm talking about 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.760 the best in the history of this great game that's 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.400 a hundred years old. Amy, You're talking about a guy 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.960 that scares every defensive coordinator when you have to line 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.240 up against him and know where he's at. Not only 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.960 what he can do to you from a production standpoint, 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.560 but what he allows the other offensive weapons to be 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.599 able to do. He creates space for those guys to 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:52.000 be able to operate. No surprise that Carson once he 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.560 got in sync that they were going to be explosive. 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.080 It's just the beginning. Obviously, Carson hasn't had a receiver 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.840 that can get deep like the Sean has in his 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.599 young career, and other than Michael Vick, I don't know 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.599 if Deshawn's had somebody that's going to be able to 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.880 place the ball where Carson is going to be able 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.080 to place it. Just game number one, we still have 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.400 fifteen moreties to go with these two guys well, and 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.320 a lot of times it takes quarterbacks and receivers time 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.560 to develop that rhythm. And this was something we heard 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.240 about it all preseason, all through training camp, that this 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.080 connection was a quick one for Carson Wentz and DeShawn 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.120 Jackson there and we saw that today, especially with those 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.680 deep passes, both touchdowns over fifty yards and that's more 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.839 NFL history for DeShawn Jackson second all time in fifty 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.640 plus yard touchdowns with thirty. Now he's only six behind 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.120 the leader of Jerry Rice. Yeah, he's six behind the 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.160 goat and Jerry Rice. DeShawn obviously has I think the 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.279 most sixty yard touchdowns in the history of the game already, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.120 he's number one in that department. I wouldn't be surprised. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:51.960 I don't know if he'll get six more this year, 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.440 but he should have a few more this year because 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.120 it's going to be difficult to hold this offense down. 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.599 When you start paying attention to de Sean, then al 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.760 Sean starts to hurt you. And you saw it. You 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.760 saw that come to fruition in the second half, Deshan 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.640 hits him with a deep ball. Now they have to 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.440 spend extra time worried about where he's at. That's going 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.039 to allow the guys underneath to get loose. And the 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.680 great thing about this offense is that we have a 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.800 collection of guys that are selfless, right, and when you 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.640 have this many weapons, that's what you're gonna need. You're 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.920 gonna need guys that are gonna be able to cheer 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.120 their teammates on. Your number may not get called this week, 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.680 but you gotta hang in there, support the guys whose 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.840 numbers are called, because eventually your number will get called. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.840 The Kansas City Chiefs are able to do it, the 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.359 greatest show on turf, the Rams, they were able to 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.960 do it. I've seen a lot of good offenses spread 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.000 the ball around. We're gonna be able to do that 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.320 this year. Well, that's a great point with DeShawn Jackson 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.280 because as he started to really take the top off, 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.960 you saw Urts get more involved. You saw all Sean 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.320 Jeffrey get more involved as well. Let's get to Spadaro 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.080 more involved. Our Eagles inside are standing by from link 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.640 in Financial Field, Dave. Your thoughts from a very exciting, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.080 very up and down game for the Eagles there in 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.000 game one against Washington, Well, you've touched on so much 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.560 of it, but how about this one? I wondered, and 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.480 I wonder how many Eagles fans felt the same way 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.120 early in the game. Why are you giving Darren Sprowls 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.560 so many touches? What is the strategy there? I can't 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.240 wait to hear what Doug Peterson has to say. But 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.560 I really thought coming out a halftime, getting the running 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.640 game going on that first drive, the third quarter, getting 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:25.440 Miles Sanders involved a little bit. Darren Sprowls, I mean amazing. 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.120 I think it was thirteen touches he had in this game. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.760 I mean that is far beyond what we like We 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.160 talked about it before the game. Where would he kind 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.760 of line up in terms of number of touches? I 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.480 thought three to five touches a game? But he really 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.280 did a terrific job and the defense turned it up 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.080 a little bit on third Dock got off the field 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.600 and he just could feel the momentum changing. Certainly not 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.360 a happy crowd at the half, but after the Eagles 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.440 came out and got that touchdown on the board to 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.880 start the second half, they really poured it on, and 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.800 we just get an indication of just how devastating and 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.000 how versatile this offense can be. Yeah, Dave, I'm talking 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.360 to you a little bit about the deepness in that secondary, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:06.280 in particular possibly long coverageous little miscommunication out there. You 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.760 think that's a result of not having these guys play 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.600 as much together it could be. But I also think 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.720 Liszt I don't think they particularly played a good game. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.000 I mean, flat out, it just didn't play a very 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.480 good game. Sydney Jones needs did step up. Russell Douglas 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.160 needs to step up. Ronald Darby when you have an 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.520 opportunity for an interception, yeah, I gotta make it so 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.520 certainly you come out of this game going all right. 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.720 Things have to get better. The pass rush has to 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.600 get better. I thought they did a great job against 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.400 the run, but when the Washington Redskins are picking up 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.560 touchdown plays of forty plus yards on you, and you've 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.520 got the Atlanta Falcons who are smarting coming off a 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.679 loss today, waiting next Sunday night in Atlanta. You know 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.440 that defense has to be a lot better in Jim 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.600 Schwartz will get it there. You escape today with a victory. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.280 Hopefully everybody comes out of this thing without any major injuries. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.240 We're we're going to keep our eyes on Malik Jackson 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.079 and that injury toward the end of the game is 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.200 foot injury. But yeah, I mean, the defense has to 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.360 be better, there's no question about it. And the back 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.400 end just did not play an A plus kind of game. Well, 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.560 the Eagles come away with a win. Like you said, Dave, 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.440 escaped is a word that you used, and of course, 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.880 plenty of things to talk about and improve on as 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.000 practice unfolds throughout the week. I'm sure we'll be following 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.800 that very closely as well. We'll catch up with you 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.400 a little bit later, David. All right, thanks guys. All right, Ike, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.959 let's get to your three takeaways from this game. The 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.000 classics segment that IKES takeaways, Well, I'll tell you we've 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.040 already touched on it a little bit. Amy. I think 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.120 the first thing everyone noticed was how sluggish and how 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.040 rusty this team looked. And listen, it's an even you know, 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.560 it's a It's a great tradeoff. In my opinion, people 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.880 want to know why, you know these guys aren't planning 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.360 in the preseason. Where do you want to get as 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.959 many of your starters to the first game as healthy 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.079 as possible. And the tradeoff maybe a little bit of rust. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.160 We saw that in the first half, but again, you 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.440 have all your main players healthy. I'll accept that tradeoff 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.680 anytime any year, especially when you come out with the W. 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.160 And then I'll look at what de Sean Jackson brought 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.280 to the table. Right Deshan Jackson, he is still explosive 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.960 at thirty two years old. You're talking about the ability 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:08.440 to unlock your offense, scared deepens, take the top off 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.600 the defense. That's what we saw today, two bombs from 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.000 from Carson Wentz to de Sean. Hopefully we'll see a 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.640 lot more of that as the season goes along. And 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.360 then my third takeaway is the coaching adjustments. The first 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.520 half was ugly, it was sluggish. It was a lot 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.120 of sloppy play out there on both sides of the football. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.080 I'm sure they went in there at halftime. Doug wasn't happy, 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.280 Jim Schwartz wasn't happy. They made the adjustments, and I 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.680 loved the way the guys came out in the second half. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.280 After Washington got that big touchdown to go up seventeen 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.840 to nothing, the Eagles basically outscored them twenty seven to 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.880 three for almost two plus quarters until they gave up 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.480 that chief touchdown late in the game, where you're really 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.520 just playing a little bit of prevent defense. Again, I 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.880 don't know. We talked about this leading up to this game, 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.120 that RUSS would be a concern. It came to fruition, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.160 But luckily this team was able to make the adjustments 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.440 sown enough and they got out. They got the clicking 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.959 on all cylinders, the run game in the second half, 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.440 the deep balls in the second half, all things that 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.800 you can carry over to the next week. Well, here's 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:12.959 the thing for me, I'd rather see a coach and 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.200 a team have those halftime adjustments come out and really 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.839 show something different that they were able to adjust from 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.840 what they were given the first half. What was working, 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.760 what wasn't working. I'll take that any day over. You 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.360 know somebody who just please you can't make adjustments, and 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.559 there are so many teams that that's the case as well. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.480 If they don't start strong, that they're going to be 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:32.640 in that hole, they're not going to be able to 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.920 do it. So to me, a lot of good stuff 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.880 here from this team being able to come from behind, 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.760 especially with Washington scoring that field goal right before the half. 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.280 That always kind of takes the wind out of the 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.200 sales a little bit when there's a score right before 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.600 the half as well. Let's take a look at my 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.520 favorite part of the day, Merrill cam. Let's check out 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.400 my quick and merrill reason. Let's see how they enjoyed 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.439 the Eagles first game. Let's send to the crowd for 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:03.440 the Sean Jackson kind. He comes galloping out and Carson 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:09.440 Wentz what's back? Went's looking? He's looking, He is going 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:15.240 deep and it is cut touchdown the Shawn Jackson. Give 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.480 the people what they came to see. The Shawn Jackson 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.760 on a deep ball perfectly thrown by Carson Wentz, put 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:27.760 a touchdown that'll light up the stadium fifty one yards. 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.280 He leaves defenders in his week. Where have you been? 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.480 Number ten? Him takes the deep snap. He's looking for 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.320 Thompson and he sacked at a field goal range, coming 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:47.120 up with a Tim Jernigan right up the middle. Terrible Tim, 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.760 an outstanding job. Give goes to Sanders up the middle 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:56.360 fifteen ten and five down to the two Moons standers 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:02.080 his first impressive carrying. I love of that first wow. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.800 Jackson's on the near side. Went to the gun's back, 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.439 he's looking, he is rolling, he fires and it is 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:14.400 complete touchdown back of the end zone. As he fired 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.120 it and won a great, great play as the Eagles 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.040 come back in this ball game. Al Sean Jeffrey eight 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:28.000 yards deep, four receivers, double wing Keenum slips an inside 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.560 the geis and he loses more yards as he meets 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.880 Fletcher cuts went back. Whence steps up, here comes the rush. 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.760 He is going deep and it is cut and in 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.040 for a touchdown to Shaun jack sevenmon. Give the people 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:49.200 what they want, give him some more Djack wins under 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:54.400 center motion. Al Sean Jeffrey Wentz on first down, springs 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.559 it to Jeffrey and Jeffrey spins in for the touchdown. 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.719 Wentz under center, Sprowls behind him. Wentz pitches out the 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.319 Sprowls tries to get inside cuts back spins. He's in 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.600 for two. He's in for two. He fell down, he 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.920 got up, he veered inside, he kept his incredible balance, 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.280 and he put two on the board. And now the 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:23.760 Eagles lad twenty nine to twenty. Hey, welcome back to 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.720 the Postgame Show, presenting by Rico. Guess what new studio? 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.360 I get to have both my favorite people have one time. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.520 I don't know what if I can't even contain myself. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.920 I Greece of course, joined me always on the postgame 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.520 fan We've done the postgame once or twice, but twice. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.520 Now I get to have a whole roundtable discussion. This 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:46.120 is like my dream come true as host. Yes, we're 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.440 about to get smarter. It's the nerd stuff coming up 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.400 right now. What are the three things you're most excited 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.880 to dive into when you watch the film and you 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.880 break it all down tomorrow? What can Eagles fans look 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.000 forward to hearing more about from you? Well, like you 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.200 and I, you know, were preparing for Eagles game plan 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.360 this week. We talked a lot about the Eagles in 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.680 their twelve personnel sets, so one back, two tight ends. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.480 How are they going to use zach Ertz and Dallas 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.720 Goddard to create matchups. And I think a lot of 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.000 people when they hear that, they say, oh, well, how 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.280 are they creating matchups for those two guys? Right, how 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:16.760 are they gonna get Earth's open? How are they gonna 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.080 get got it open? Well, a couple of times today 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.480 I felt that they use those two players to help 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.960 create matchups for others. And that was a play that 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.680 we had great co sell breakdown in the show was 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.960 how it opened up Nelson Agilore for a big play 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.520 last year against Washington on a couple of those plays, 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.440 and I think in the next block here, when we 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.040 do our Rica review, I'm going to show you exactly 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:37.600 how they did that. I'm excited to go back and 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.120 watch even more of that tomorrow morning. Yeah. Yeah, that's 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.560 the difficult part. When you're a defense of trying to 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.880 defend against twelve personnel and when you have tight ends 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.480 that are really slash wide receivers, meaning they can get 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.480 open light wide receivers, then the defense has to adjust. 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.080 They have to bring personnel on more of in the 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.200 lightbox to try to cover these guys, and like you said, Fran, 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.680 that's going to create the mismatch on a guy like 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.160 Nelson Agilo. You can't put the third or fourth best 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.560 corner on a guy like Nelson Agilo, who is a 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.320 starting caliber receiver. So I look forward to seeing a 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.560 lot more of these personnel groupings because in this league, 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.680 it's about finding the mismatch right, the one on one 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.600 advantage that you have and exploit it. Yeah. I mean, 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.360 you can go back even to that opening drive of 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.840 the third quarter and the Eagles start to drive twelve personnel, 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.720 two tight ends, and they just ran it right down 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.640 their throat, And that's really when you can start to 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.200 establish and set the tone as an offense with the 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.640 run game, two tight ends and then spread you out. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.400 Now as a defense, you're you're spinning circles. You have 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.600 no idea which way you're gonna go. The next thing 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.560 I'm most excited is just how the Eagles were able 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.720 to attack watching in the secondary, because I thought they 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.720 did a really good job over the course of the 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.120 day to really kind of catching them when they were 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.040 trying to get a little bit cute on the back end, 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.320 disguising some things. You know how it is. You know, 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.600 pre snap, you're trying to show the offense one thing 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.960 and then give them something else. The Eagles caught them 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.480 a couple of times. To them, I'm excited to kind 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.040 of diagram exactly how it seemed to me like on 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.280 the both of dish On Jackson's touchdowns that there wasn't 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.159 really anybody near rope. Yeah, if that first one day, 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.280 we're gonna give away too much. I'm just gonna say it, 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.800 like he caught the ball like fifty yards downfield, there's 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.359 a linebacker around. I'm I'm gonna show exactly how that happened. 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.440 I Mean, that's what you want, though, is when you're 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.600 trying to create those kind of matchups number one, with 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.440 what we just talked about, and then catch them in 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.520 the disguise, that's a perfect storm for an offense. And defensively, 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.240 it was just tough to match up. Yeah, And I'll 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.480 tell you, when you get matchups like that, you need 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.639 your offensive line to hold up right in order for 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.840 you to exploit those. And I thought the offensive line, 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.480 at least from a pass protection standpoint, run blocking wasn't 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.560 is good in the first half, but in the second 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.320 half they got it going. But from a pass protection standpoint, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.639 I didn't think Wentz was under much pressure. Ye had 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.639 a couple of times he had guys in front of him, 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.360 he was able to escape it. But off the top 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.000 of my head, I can't think of any big hits 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.879 he took the day. Yeah, they kept him clean, and 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:52.959 in order to get those balls to the Sean Jackson 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.280 down the field, you need time. And I thought the 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.440 offensive line did a great job of holding up today. 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:58.919 And you know what I loved too, like was it 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.199 wasn't like necessarily where he was pressured and he had 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.520 to break the pocket, but where the coverage was really 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:04.960 good in the back end and he has to hold 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.600 the ball and create time and break the pocket. A 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:09.600 couple of those third down conversions in the fourth quarter 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.560 where he's spinning out of the pocket and rolling to 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.920 his left finding Alshan Jeffrey, that seemed like twenty seventeen. 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.960 Carson wentz to me, That's why those are the vibes 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:18.800 I got watching that today. And I need to check 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.879 the third down numbers on the stats here in a minute. 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.560 But both of those touchdowns to Deshan Jackson were on 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.879 third and ten as well. So just I think a 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.400 lot for Eagles fans to be optimistic about on those 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.240 third down conversions, which was an area of emphasis heading 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.480 into this season, something they didn't do so well last year. Yeah, 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.399 no question. I thought you guys touched on it just 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.720 before I came on, just about the adjustments that the 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.679 coaching staff made. To me, that was one of the 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.199 best things to come out of this is. You know, 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.719 the team comes out a little bit flat on both sides. 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.160 You know, that's the thing. They score that first touchdown, 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.920 Washington off the mistackle and you say, all right, that's 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.119 that's on us, that's not even on them. And then 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.080 you get the deep ball for a touchdown. He said, 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:54.560 right tip of the cap. You got us on a 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.000 deep ball. Let's see if you can sustain drives. The 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.199 Eagles did a really good job of not panicking. They 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.680 didn't force the shoe. They took what the defense gave 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.080 them on offense, and they just buckled down on defense. 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.000 I love the adjustments they made on both sides and 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:07.360 the way to come out with the victor. I thought 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.040 it was just an awesome team effort. I had the 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.600 third down stat here eleven of seventeen, so let's trading 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.359 sixty five percent. That's pretty good if you're noticing the 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.800 chemistry happening in this room right now, between the three 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.000 of us, but especially these two. Oh and you know what, 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.359 we're gonna send this over to the link because head 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:25.720 coach Doug Peterson is ready for his press conference. I 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.199 don't think much of anything. We just kind of settled 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.440 into the game, made a few adjustments at halftime. But 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:33.480 you know, there were some plays to be made in 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.600 the first half. We just we just didn't make them offensively. Defense. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.360 You know, we didn't get off the field on third 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:39.840
