WEBVTT - The Post-Game Show: Eagles Defeat Jets, 24-17 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.160 What's all this about the Jets defense having the best 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.000 in the entire MFL. It was the Eagle defense who 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.279 came to play on this Sunday, forcing three turnovers, including 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.680 this interception by Eric Rowe, who was thrust into defensive 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.519 action for the first time in his NFL career, to 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.480 help give the Eagles a twenty four to seventeen win 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.840 over the New York Jets. Welcome to the postgame show 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.800 presented by Rico. I'm Chris McPherson, all alongside Joe to camera, Joe, 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.440 Eagles fans had to hold their breast for the last 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.360 couple of minutes there. But nonetheless, when you look back 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.559 at this win later on down the road, no one's 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.160 going to remember how pretty or how Ugio was. The 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.440 most important thing for the Eagles is they got into 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.800 the wind calm for the first time in the twenty 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.600 fifteen season. It was the objective. Chris, There's no question. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.440 It was not always a pretty game, There's no doubt 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.240 about that. I think the offense still in the second 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.480 half and it didn't look great, but the defense played 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:29.039 a fantastic game, and generally speaking, look the Eagles, they 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.319 achieved the objective. They had to do go up to 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.440 northern New Jersey and win a football game, get back 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.520 into the season. You look at the way the division 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.679 went today with the Dallas Cowboys losing, and of course 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.360 on Thursday night with the Giants beating Washington, and all 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:42.920 of a sudden, the Eagles, you know, at one and two, 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.000 just a game back at the Cowboys when the Dallas 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.360 has their injury issues. So everyone in Philadelphia can take 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.760 a deep breath and look, there's still some some serious 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.800 work to be done here, because this Eagles offense still 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.440 isn't churning, you know, very effectively yet. But deep breath, 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.280 the Eagles are back in. They're in the season. They're 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.720 in the season, Chris, and now you get to move forward. Certainly, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.520 that's the most important thing. Where you hear from head 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.360 coach Chip Kelly and quarterback Sam Bradford a little bit 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.280 later in the show, but we saw the interception there 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:11.919 by Eric row and to me, a big theme of 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.679 today is win Joe, next man up. You have Eric 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.239 Rowe who was put into significant action, Brandon bar who 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.560 is active today for the first time this season because 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.360 of the injuries to Cedric Thornton and Taylor Hart, he 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.680 deflected a past I was intercepted by Jordan Hicks. Jordan Hicks, 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.200 the third round pick out Texas. He notched his first 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.720 career interception as he had to play because of the 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.120 injuries to Kiko Alonso and Michael Kendricks. So so many 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.840 players stepping up. I didn't even talk about Ryan Matthews, 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.840 the ground game finally getting going, to Marco Murray out 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.880 with the hamstring injury. Well, Matthews got the job done 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.800 on the ground there almost one hundred yards on the day. 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.800 Almost could have had a couple more touchdowns there, but 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.960 still it was great to see the ground game get going, 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.160 the defense stepping up, standing tall. And how about Darren 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.560 Sprowles providing the spark not just on offense but special 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.600 teams as well. An eighty nine yard punt return, the 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.160 longest of his career, the second longest enfranchise history, which 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.200 really got things going for this team in the second quarter. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.160 I'll tell you what, Chris, I'm still trying to figure 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.560 out how the heck the Eagles got Darren Sproles for 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.880 a fifth rounds draft pick. You know, before last season, 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.080 how did no team in the league say, okay, now, 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.440 or Leans here's a fourth rounder. If you're going to 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.079 trade the guy, here's a fourth rounder. Somehow it comes 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.120 all the way back to the Eagles with the fifth round. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.360 It was a tremendous trade. Darren Sproles continues to just 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.639 pay incredible dividends for this franchise. And you know, he 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.760 made a play that got this season jump start at Chris. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.440 I mean, he really did tremendous play by Sproles. And 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.400 you mentioned Ryan Matthews. You know, we got to get 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.440 back to Matthews as well, because you know, to me, 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.880 Ryan Matthews is probably the player of the game for 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.480 the Eagles today. Now, he the fumble late and that was, 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.640 you know, very nerve racking for sure. Other than the fumble, 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.280 I don't think there's any question he was the player 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.360 of the game for the Eagles, and he provided consistency 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.960 through round. I thought he ran very hard and he 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.440 broke some tackles and obviously in filling in for DeMarco Murray, 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.800 it was an important spot at I went too for 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.720 this Eagle's offense to get going, and even though again 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.200 it didn't click on all cylinders, Ryan Matthews made place 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.040 to help the Eagles win today. Certainly this is the 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.280 reason why the Eagles signed Ryan Matthews in the first place, 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.359 along with DeMarco Murray, because the last couple of years 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.160 the Eagles were alive on Lashawn McCoy way too much. 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.160 They knew they couldn't get that kind of workload or 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.960 depend on that kind of workload out of one player anymore. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.960 So you bring in DeMarco Murray. He struggles the first 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.400 couple of games, injures a hamstring there and during the 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.440 week of practice he's unable to go. So Ryan Matthews 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.720 comes in one hundred eight yards on the ground, certainly 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.440 a huge, huge aspect and getting this ground game going. 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.440 And how about this because we can't what are we 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.360 three or four minutes into the show, we haven't even 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.640 mentioned the offensive line. Now, the offensive line was the 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.839 topic all week. It's been the topic for gosh, the 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.680 first two weeks of the season, it's been all about 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.080 the offensive line with good reason. They had not played well. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.080 Today they got it together. The guys played much better. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.920 Of course, we saw the injury with Andrew Garter until 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.960 in there, but the offensivelign did a very very good 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.200 job to do their job and give the Eagles offense 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:06.680 a chance to move the ball. Bit all right, so 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.440 much to talk about, and we're going to delve into 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.600 that and a whole lot more. Plus we'll hear from 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.640 head coach Chip Count in a little bit.

Welcome back to the postgame show presented 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.360 by Rico here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. The Eagles 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.719 victorious with capturing their first win of the season twenty 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.520 four to seventeen over the New York Jets. And for me, Joe, 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.720 it was great to see the Eagles get off to 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.360 the fast start. They got the early stop on defense, 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.800 offense takes over. They go fifty four yards and eleven plays, 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.800 get into the red zone, have to sell for the 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.120 Cody Parky field goal. But you just felt good about 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.760 the run game early on. Matthews had a twenty seven 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.800 yard run on that drive, and the fact that they 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.600 were able to get a lead early on for the 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.920 first time this season. It was huge. It just settled 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.600 everybody down. It settled me down. I'm sure it settled 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.800 the viewers down, and you would think it settled the 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.960 guys on the team down as well, considering how pathetic 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.080 really the first halfs had been. To get going and 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.080 get into the flow and get a lead was big. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.600 I thought Jordan Matthews had a really big third down 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.440 conversion on that drive, which was very critical, And again 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.240 it just allowed everybody to settle in. And you know, 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.600 Sam Bradford, boy, he was up and down of times. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.640 You know, this is a strange one because in some 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.760 ways there were plays I thought Bradford left out there. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.680 But at the same time, there was a play where 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.559 Ryan Matthews could have caught a ball and kept running 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.760 down the sideline. There's a play Darren Sprowles had an 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.200 opportunity to run. So they could have been sixty seventy 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.320 yard games for touchdowns. So it's a little hard to 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.080 evaluate from that standpoint. It could have been a lot 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.520 more efficient offensively. I think Bradford's still trying to find 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.800 his way in this season. But you know, again, the 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.720 Eagles offense at least did more than they had done 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.840 in the first two weeks. And that first drive was 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.520 really big just to get it going. I mean, the 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.680 Eagles race up to a twenty four nothing lead, held 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.520 on for the twenty four to seventeen victory. Quentin Copele's 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.000 helping things out. The Eagles with a third and long situation, 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.520 it looked like they were gonna be forced to punt, 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.040 but then Quentin Coples commits the hands of the face 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.440 penalty and the Eagles were able to kneel on the ball. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.280 So we're gonna hear from head coach Chip Kelly and 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.880 quarterback Sam Bradford in just a little bit. When it 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.640 comes to Bradford's performance, My thing, Joe is the toughest 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.200 throw that he made was a wheel route to Matthews, 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.920 which end up being the touchdown. Let's go on the 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.760 one that Matthew's wide open ball was a little bit off. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.320 Matthew's obviously should have had it still had plenty of 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.200 room in front of him. Could have been a touchdown there. 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.360 And then Sprowles was another one where the ball was 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.840 fitting there nicely. It just seems like the guys still 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.880 aren't making enough plays to help out the quarterback. You 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.920 look at Ryan Fitzpatrick of the Jets. On the other hand, 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.040 I forget exactly who it was and made the reception 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.880 when they were trying to come back in the second half. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.760 But the receiver, I want to say it was anew 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.080 It was laid out on the ground and had the 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.280 hands behind them trying to bring in the past. Not 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.440 a great lead thrown ball, but still it was the 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.520 receiver stepping up to make plays. You saw how many 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.920 times the cornerbacks, defensive backs were draped over Brandon Marshall 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:38.600 and he's able to come down to play. So you 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.600 still want to see the receivers and running backs, whoever 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.719 it is, step up and make those big plays. Help 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.520 them out absolutely. And you know, and also when you're 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.959 talking about the Jets passing game, I think it's and 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:49.679 you mentioned at the very beginning, but worth going back 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.640 to Eric Rowe stepping up making plays today. This isn't 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.959 just a one game situation where it's important for the 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.720 Eagles and he made plays today. This is about his development, 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.960 This is about this season, This is about the next 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.360 three to four years. You know, in his rookie contract, 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.319 Eric Roll becoming a contributor for this franchise. It didn't 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.959 look good with the preseason games as we saw Chris 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.319 and obviously Chip Kelly and Billy Davis styled him back, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.200 not having him involved in the first two weeks, but 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.640 to see him get out there today make plays, it's 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.520 a very encouraging sign for what this defense can do 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.120 moving for certainly, so the Eagles win the turnover battle 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.440 by three four total turnovers. They have, of course the 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.160 fumble there, then you also have the interceptions by not 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.240 just Rowe, but by Jordan Hicks, and also deep down 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.480 sun by Walter Thurman. What I find that he has 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.920 been at the safety position. Look, this is a guy 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.920 who's played corner who has career, he'd played in the slot, 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.640 and then there was a chance last year he could 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.880 have signed with the Eagles, but the team signed Nolan 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.520 cow instead. So you know, Thurman went and signed with 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.240 the Giants, suffered an injury early in the season, didn't 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.200 play a whole lot, becomes a free agent, comes to Philadelphia, 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.320 they think that he's going to be a cornerback. But 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.560 then at the beginning of the OTAs they say, well 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.920 why don't we make the tranches in the safety, And 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.080 all of a sudden he's been a ball hawk for them. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.839 A nice compliment there to Malcolm Jenkins. Yeah, he's made place. 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.160 I think that's the big thing. He has made places. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.199 He's shine, he is he is stepped up and flashed 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.920 for sure. I also thought Byron Maxwell was better today. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.720 You know, he had the fade route on or you 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.600 know the one where Byron Maxwell got in the fourth 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.800 in the fourth quarter where Brandon Marshall got the ball, 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.480 but you know that's going to happen from time time. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.280 Maxwell was better. I also thought Carol made some place today. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.080 So the defensive secondary is better. You had mentioned Brandon 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.960 Bear earlier getting pressure, you know, which helped. And again 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.920 Ryan Fitzpatrick wasn't very good. I mean, Ryan Fitzpatrick definitely 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.559 late let some place stand out there on the field 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.320 for the Jets, and that helped Eagles defense. But Eagles 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.720 defense generally did their job. And now you get set 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.839 for you know, we'll hear Chip Kelly coming up in 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.920 a couple of minutes here and then ultimately a Washington 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.520 Redskins team where now the division has I don't want 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.000 to say come back to the Eagles, it's too early 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.719 to say that, but the Eagles are in it. At 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.920 one and two, they're in it. We know the injury 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.480 situation around the division, and Eagles have a shot now 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.160 for sure. Joe, I think you looked at his Eagles 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.679 team in the first two weeks and you said, Okay, 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.120 the defense had made improvements, had started to get better. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.040 It's a question it could the offense turn around. And 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.000 I feel like that if you were going to say 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.040 one thing about the Eagles, it's you have Chip Kelly, 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.760 you have Pat Shermer overseeing the offense, that they should 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.800 be the ones to get the offense turn around as 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.400 long as Bill Davis could continue to take care of 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.240 the defense and see the improvements there. Corey Unland doing 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.720 an amazing job there with the secondary up and now 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.920 we're gonna send it to MetLife Stadium and here from 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:36.640 head coach Chip Kelly following the wind, you can do 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.640 your run game going again. You know, we really just 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.200 kind of went back to basics in terms of what 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:45.400 we're doing run wise. I thought, you know, Ryan hit 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.560 it in there a few times. Give him credit. I 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.360 think he like his style in terms of how it 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.240 fits in terms of what we're doing. They got some 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.360 big bodies up front, you know, so we had to 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:57.679 try to get outside a little bit more run, a 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.280 little bit more outside zone than um, but trying to 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.200 get away from those big bodies. But I thought, you know, um, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:04.559 in the first half we got to go one of 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.880 the second half, we you know, there's a little bit 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.280 more guys in the box. You got a big lead. 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:09.959 You know, everybody knows you're trying to run it, trying 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.320 to work the clock a little bit. We need to 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.520 be better at that aspect of it. But in the 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.920 first half, I thought it helped us. How would you 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.839 describe were you just the overall performance today? I thought 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.120 it was gritty, you know it was We knew going 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:24.319 in that this was just going to be one of 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.679 those kind of use a box and analogy to you, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:27.920 guys are gonna stand in the middle of the ring 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.880 and just start swinging at each other. And that's what happened. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.280 I mean that that defense that they have and we 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.400 talked about it earlier in a week with outstanding corners, 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.000 you know that the you know, can really cover and 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.640 then so they can devote a lot of people in 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.960 there um to the run game and they just you know, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.240 I just kind of won to pretty win. But it was, 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.000 you know, kind of ugly, but it's what we had 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.880 to do to UM to win this football game. And 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.560 then I think our defense played really really well. You know, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.400 he created a lot of turnovers over there. We knew 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:53.480 what they were going to do. There's a lot of 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.400 empty sets that they run, UM trying to figure out 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.040 if you're in manner zone, if you're in man there. 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.400 You know, Marshall's such a big target. You know, it's 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.720 a difficult matchup at times. Uh and fits he's so 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.000 smart he kind of gets the ball out quick, so 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.240 the Russia doesn't really get to him. UM. But I 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.440 thought our defense, especially some of those young guys had 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:12.840 an opportunity play kind of stepped up today. So Jordan 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.920 and Eric made some big plays, got the turnovers, yeah, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.120 they did. You know, we were really excited about Jordan 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:20.480 when we got him, when we talked about him being 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.160 a third down linebacker. And I think you're starting to 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.040 see that he's got great coverage skills um, and he's 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.480 really gotta there's a calmness to Jordan. He's got a 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.280 real good awareness out there. So I don't think anything 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.320 was really too big for him. The obviously made a 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.840 you know, a big catch on the tip ball and 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.400 I think it was Brandon Barrow at the tip um 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.600 and then Eric I thought they had really good coverage. 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:39.840 A couple of times they broke up one on our 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.640 sideline and then come up with a pick on our sideline. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.480 So you know, it was good to see. You know, 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.400 the two of those guys contribute to the victory on 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.080 the defensive side. So finally getting out, you know, the 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.040 first one soldo thirty. But what can you do for 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.520 team topidence going forward? Yeah? You know what it's really 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.160 like everything, it's got to be the same mentality is 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.680 that obviously, um, you gotta make your corrections on Tuesday, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.160 and then you gotta go because what happened in the 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.760 week before in this league, you know, sometimes really doesn't 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.240 have a real big impact on the next week. You know, 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.480 every week is going to be kind of a street fight, 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.960 you know, and you got to be prepared. We still 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.480 have a lot of corrections we have to make, um. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.800 But it's obviously easier on Tuesday when you're talking to 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.200 a team after after a win than it is after 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.680 a loss. So m but we still have a lot 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.000 of work to do. Look ad you see of the scrolls? 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.080 Yeah again, and we it's another thing. We're just trying 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.200 to talk about getting there, getting there and started back there, 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.720 and I thought we had a great hold up, you know, 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.520 and um, I had some gave him an opportunity to 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.280 catch it clean and then once he gets ahead of steam, 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.160 he's very difficult to block. But I thought, um, you know, 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.360 that's what we kind of expect out of our punt 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.440 return team because we have such a dynamic return back there. 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.160 If we can we can kind of get him started, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:45.840 We're hoping good things can happen. And that's what that's 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.960 what happen. Can you see when he has a chance 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.360 to catch a clean And yeah, everybody, I think everybody's 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.160 like that on on our team, you know, just because 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.920 of the impact he can he can make on a 0:15:55.920 --> 0:16:00.120 football football play, just being able to flip the field, um, 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.160 you know. And and and you could tell him that 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:03.720 one he gotta he was he was gonna get We're 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:04.960 gonna get something out of it because he was gonna 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.960 get a chance to get started. To see Ryan Matthews 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.600 running staff compliments, what you're trying to do? What do 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.800 you mean exactly? He's a real decisive what kind of 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.440 one cut runners stuck his foot in the ground and 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.720 go and you're gonna have to run through some arm 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.960 tackles at times, um, and he did. You know, he's 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.520 got some uh some size to go along with his 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.320 explosion and he and he can. You know, there there 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.160 are times where guys are kind of running off the 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.280 tackles and he's you know, it's it's not a um, 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.160 make you miss thing, it's you've got to be physical 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.680 through there. And he was really physical. I thought today 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.520 running the football the first two weeks that the Jets 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:38.080 plus and in turnover. Is that something you emphasized there? 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.200 We did, We really did, and I think they were 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.840 plus ten in the first two weeks they had ten. Yeah, 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.920 they created a ten. So you know, it's really what 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.400 we we talked about is creating turnovers on our side 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:49.880 of the ball. It's been something since we talked about 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.760 last April, is that we turned the ball over too 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.160 much last year offensively and we got to create more 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.720 on the defensive side of them. And then obviously, um 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.280 it had a huge impact on the game today. Why 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.600 didn't Marko Yeah, we tried. He tried pregame and just 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.600 couldn't go. So the Bears impact at the line. I mean, 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.560 it really seems like he does a good job coming 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.159 in and getting his hands up and get into a 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.080 passing lanes somewhere. He does he and a lot of that. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.680 He has a knack for that. But it was part 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.920 of what we talked about with what fits he does. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.520 You know, one of Billy's emphasis is this week with 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.640 those guys is that if the balls out so quick, 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:22.879 we may not be able to get to him in 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.600 a pass rush. So we need to cloud the throwing 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.199 lanes for him and be able to You know, it 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:27.480 takes a kind of a little bit of a knack 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.120 to start to pass rush and then get a field 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:30.360 for the timing in your head and get your hands 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.680 up and hum. Brandon does have a knack for it. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:33.879 But I think he got two today and one of 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.159 them resulted in the three yeah, three today. You know, 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:37.959 I saw two, you know so, and I know they 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.320 resulted in a turnovers for him. But again that's that's 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:42.639 a big impact. You know, if you're not going to 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.040 get to the quarterback, can you disrupt his timing and 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:46.679 can you disrupt the throwing lanes? And I thought he 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.720 did that, so one where you got the big lead, 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.240 so it looks like you slowed down the offense a 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.280 little bit and sort of pick picked response where you 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.280 picked up the ten bottles or any just trying to 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:56.920 figure out they were giving you so many different looks 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:58.760 so you can kind of get into you know, we 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:00.520 tried to get in some formations and see what they 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.400 were doing and then you know, just get us into 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.880 the appropriate players. I thought Sam did a nice job 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.280 considering what they brought. They think they can bring a rush. Um, 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.280
