WEBVTT - Eagles Update: Big Win, Giant Loss

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>A devastating laws. That's how head coach Doug Pearson described

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the season ending injuries a broken forearm and torn ACL

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>suffered by Darren Sprowls and Sunday's win over the Giants.

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Sprowles is not just an all time warrior with his

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 1>ability to run, block, catch and return the ball, but

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>his work ethic is second to none. He is eighth

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>in league history and all purpose yards and will be

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>someone who is not easy to replace. I can actually

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>confirm that it is an acl te. Um, it's unfortunate.

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Um also a broken forearm. Um, so a double whammy

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>on the play. But uh, yeah, unfortunate. He's a he's

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a great man. He's a great leader. UM, well liked

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>obviously on this team and in this locker room and

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>in this community. Um, he's a he's a lot of energy. Um.

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.639
<v Speaker 1>And and that's hard to replace. You know, it's hard

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to replace. And and so you know, um, guys are

0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>can just go have to rally and and and pick

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>up you know, pick up that spot and and uh

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>and move forward. But you know, it's unfortunate. It is

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>part of the game, and it's unfortunate that you know,

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>injury has to happen, and and sometimes it happens to

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>great people and great men, and uh um, it's just

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the unfortunate side of the business. The silver lining for

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles that they ignited the running game behind young

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>backs Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement the Eagles as a

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>whole in one hundred and ninety three yards against the Giants.

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I think what you saw with Windell, you know, yesterday

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and even something some things with Corey, um, you know, uh,

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna have to be that next man mentality. But

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I think Windell, um, you know, on third down, specifically

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Corey as well, they're gonna have to step up and

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, assume that role. And uh, you know,

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>it's always been the next guy sort of up mentality.

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's kind of where we're at right now. How

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>about the hero of Sunday's game, rookie kicker Jake Elliott.

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Head coach Doug Pearson recount the moment when he decided

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to send Elliot out to attempt the franchise record and

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>game winning sixty one yard field goal that said all

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>of Eagles Nation into pandemonium. I looked at him in

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the eyes and asked him if he can nail it,

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and he without without a blink, he said, I got it,

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I just felt comfortable, you know, confident and comfortable.

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 1>We knew Jake had had pretty good range. I wasn't

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>sure sixty one was was doable. You know, you never

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>really think think that. But we had coached, had a

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of faith in him, had a lot of faith

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 1>in him, and he got it done. Is pretty crazy.

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>For quarterback Carson Wentz, Sunday marked the first time in

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>his young career that he orchestrate a go ahead drive

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>in the game's final minute. The Eagles were one in

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>six and one score games just a year ago. This

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>shows just how far they've come from from one year ago.

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, we were always finding ways to lose these games.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, we were always just coming up short, just

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.679
<v Speaker 1>one play here, one played there. Um. And so to

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 1>fight till the end, to have that comeback at the end,

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to get that drive together and then kicked that field

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>goal and then the game winning field goal. Um, that

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>was just huge for us, A huge sign of, like said,

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>in huge growth and something we can definitely build on now.

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Starting the season off two and oh is huge. You know,

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>one win on the road. One at home can't say

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>enough about it, and it really puts us in a

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>good situation going forward. Don't forget to check out Eagles

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.520
