1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: He was there. We haven't a chance to talk to

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Dan this week. Any sentiment with Dan based in Seattle

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: and what he did there, you know.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: That's really you know, like Dan speak on that, but

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: I think clearly obviously, I mean, he had a tremendous

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: experience in Seattle with their success and their Super Bowl teams,

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: So I would definitely think that it has a special

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: place in his heart, you know, for not only for

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: their success, but the players in the in the people

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: up there that he's worked.

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: With, Mike Todd, Archer, ESPN, with Shaq Leonard being in

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 3: there today, have't been able to talk to them meet

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: with him yet.

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 4: And uh, your thoughts on how things are going so far, I.

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: Really don't have anything to report there. You know, we'll we'll,

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 2: we'll get to the specifics of that at the at

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: the right time. I literally just came off the practice field,

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: and you know, I've been in meetings all day, so

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: and I'm here and you know, I have some meeting

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: to follow follow our conversation.

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: And on doron Bland, We've talked to you a lot

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: about the tick sixes, but his play in general as

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: a corner like some of his numbers are just the

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: analytic members like the epas minus forty seven and a half.

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: Whatever that means, I don't know. But what when you

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: look at it, just what he's done overall and playing

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: the positions beyond the pick sixes, what have you seen?

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: Well, I'll see a winning performer. I mean, we have

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: our own internal evaluation that would do all of a SUDEN.

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: Our analytics department does an excellent job of bringing in

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 2: the outsourcing numbers and as part of the mathematical evaluation

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: as far as what they keep their their you know,

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: keep their finger on. But you know, you know, our

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: evaluation is really breaks down into three categories and he's

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: he's definitely a winning performer for US.

36
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 5: John Matchoda, Mike Chemishaw at the Athletic I know you

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 5: talked about it a little bit this morning on the

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 5: radio with Dak having finding out that he's going to

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 5: be a father. But I was just wondering, with you,

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 5: being a father of three, if you've been able to

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: give him any advice and have you thought that it's

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 5: him finding this out is contributed all to like, you know,

43
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 5: I've see him playing so well lately.

44
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: Well, I know he's he's been you know yeah, I

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: know he's tremendously happy. Uh it's he beams, you know

46
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: when he talks about his personal life and everything going

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: in especially you know, the opportunity to be a father.

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: But yes, we we've had numerous dad and daughter conversations

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: and I think we will definitely continue to do that.

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: But it's a very exciting topic for him.

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 6: Let's go to Skyler.

52
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 7: Sorry about that.

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 8: I was slow on the mute button.

54
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 7: Mirk Crower dim with the ap that like to talk

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 7: about you guys running your own race, and he says,

56
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 7: you kind of preached the same thing. I just wondered, though,

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 7: how how you keep from getting discouraged with the Eagles

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 7: pulling out these close games against these good teams when

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 7: you've got to have a little help to catch them.

60
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's like anything in your journey, Uh

61
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: in this league, you know, you know, the road to

62
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 2: the championship is always under construction, and it's it's never

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: the same for two teams. So that's why we just

64
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: keep our focus on what's in front of us and

65
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: what we can handle. So, you know, I think, you know,

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot of football that you know have to

67
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: be played, and you know, the most important thing for

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: us is to win and they continue to improve. So

69
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: as many different ways that we can you know, stay

70
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: focused on that apply our energy to those two critical

71
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: you know points of emphasis, it definitely serves us.

72
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 6: Let's go back to Todd Archer. I think he has

73
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 6: another one.

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Mike, kath and Peters. You're around him last year as

75
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: surprised that he's still playing at forty one, and what

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: are you seeing from him as he's getting back into

77
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: the swinging things.

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: No, I'm not surprised anything that Jason's able to do.

79
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: I think he's you know, he's one of those you know,

80
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: special NFL players that you know has has longevity as

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: part of his his makeup. But you know, I've also

82
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: had the you know the pleasure of working with him

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: for a year and you know how much time he

84
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: puts in you know, after hours too. So I think

85
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: he's you know a little enough seeing him earlier in

86
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: the season and then now I think he's he looks

87
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: comfortable and what they're asking to do. But yeah, I

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: mean he's you know, he still has incredible feat you

89
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: know to play you know inside and outside. So yeah,

90
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: not nothing JP does it surprises me?

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 6: Go to Patrick Walker, Mike, when you're facing the Seattle Seahawks,

92
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 6: obviously they're coming off two game slide, but you know

93
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 6: they're much better than that two game.

94
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Slide would indicate.

95
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 6: Can you talk about the challenges of matching them specifically

96
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 6: against the offense that has the weapons they have?

97
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: Definitely, I mean we I'm playing them a couple of

98
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: years and I think it just really got stay in

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: tuned with you know, what they put on tape. You know,

100
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: I know we played them in a preseason, but that

101
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: there's difference, you know, as far as it pertains to

102
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: your question of matchups. So you know, it's there's gonna

103
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 2: be a play style and and you know, but I

104
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: think both teams take a lot of pride in as

105
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: far as how we play. But you know, as far

106
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: as what we do and how we do it, you know,

107
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: it's you know, we're we're looking this is this this

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: is gonna be extremely physical, active football game. So they

109
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: do a good job taking the ball away and you know,

110
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: part of how they're how they're built, and so you know,

111
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: obviously we need to protect the ball at all costs,

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: and and you know we need to take it away ourselves.

113
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: But you know, it will start with our run defense

114
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: being challenged when they line up with the balling and

115
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: then we definitely know the brand of football they like

116
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: to play defensively, so you know we're looking at this

117
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: is a an excellent, excellent opportunity.

118
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 6: Let's go to Michael Gelkin.

119
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 8: Jake Ferguson EANs that's a good a good talent. I

120
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 8: suppose that keeping guys loose around him with is his personality.

121
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 8: I would describe what Jake's his personality demeanors like around

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 8: the building.

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's got a great personality, especially for

124
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: for the locker room, the classroom. It's infectious. But you know,

125
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to take away from you know, his

126
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: his professionalism. You know, you know, Jake's played a lot

127
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: of football early, uh and often in his in his career,

128
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: and you know, he's he's a big part of how

129
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: we want to play on offense with his particular play style.

130
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's definitely I'd put him in the category

131
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: as a glue guy. You know, He's he's one of

132
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: the glue personalities that that that you know, definitely brings

133
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: people together.

134
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 6: Does anybody else have any questions for Mike, my figure.

135
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 6: Go ahead, David.

136
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 4: And Mike, David Moore, Dallas Morning News. Uh, I know

137
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 4: you crossed paths along the way. Uh with John Snyder.

138
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: Can you talk a little bit about your your relationship

139
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: and are you two still keep in contact as much

140
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 4: as you can with someone who works with another franchise.

141
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: Definitely, I mean I'll be always in touch with John.

142
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we go way back and in our friendship,

143
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: you know him and Tracy and you know, and you

144
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: know as the story goes, you know, he introduced me

145
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: to my wife Jessica, and you know it's actually the

146
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: the god parents of our daughter, Gabrielle. So I think

147
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: that clearly there's an illustration of what we think of

148
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: the Snyder family. So with John, all luck in the

149
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: world except Thursday.

150
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 6: Night, Todd, did you have another one?

151
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, Mike.

152
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: When you guys look at takeaways on defense, the fourth

153
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: down stops ever factor into that for you guys.

154
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely a fourth down stops like a takeaway. So

155
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: and there's always a big, no, big part of the game,

156
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: particularly the fourth quarter against Washington. So yeah, absolutely, all.

157
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,880
