Speaker 1: H Hello everyone, Welcome to the postgame show. They're gonna
Speaker 1: buy a resound. Philadelphiagles dot Com Chris McPherson alongside form
Speaker 1: Eagles linebacker Ike Greece. The Eagles, in disappointing fashion lose
Speaker 1: twenty three twenty at the hands of the Washington Redskins
Speaker 1: to fall to one and three on the season. The
Speaker 1: Eagles led twenty to sixteen as the wrestling They got
Speaker 1: the ball one last time down the stretch and they
Speaker 1: ran a fifteen play ninety yard drive that resulted in
Speaker 1: a four yard touchdown throw from Kirk Cousins to Pierre Garson.
Speaker 1: The drive took five minutes and thirty nine seconds and
Speaker 1: in a game where the Eagles defense played well at times,
Speaker 1: but you need one more stop, one were key play.
Speaker 1: Some want to step up and no one can make
Speaker 1: the play and Garson gets the touchdown and the Eagles
Speaker 1: now left scratching their heads wondering what could have been
Speaker 1: with a great second half rally to get them to
Speaker 1: lead down now twenty three to twenty lose the game
Speaker 1: like your thoughts, well, I mean obviously a disappointing loss.
Speaker 1: I mean after the Eagles made a valiant effort to
Speaker 1: come back in the second half after being down thirteen
Speaker 1: nothing in the first half score twenty unanswered points. Seemed
Speaker 1: to have gang control and momentum of this game, but
Speaker 1: in the worth quarter happened and basically couldn't put the
Speaker 1: team away. I mean, had ample opportunities in the second half.
Speaker 1: The red Skins offense sputtering, couldn't get anything moving, couldn't
Speaker 1: pick up first downs. Eagles with good field position, just
Speaker 1: couldn't seal the deal, particularly in that fourth quarter. The
Speaker 1: final two series, the Eagles had I thought they certainly
Speaker 1: needed at least a field goal, but they had the
Speaker 1: opportunity to drive now because it looked like they had
Speaker 1: momentum to go in there and put put the nail
Speaker 1: in the coffin of the Redskins by going up by
Speaker 1: ten points, and they just couldn't get it done. They
Speaker 1: let this team hang around in the end. It was
Speaker 1: a one possession game, and the Redskins got to give
Speaker 1: them credit. They made the plays in the end when
Speaker 1: they needed to make the play. A fifteen play drive
Speaker 1: eating up five minutes and forty seconds. That's a championship
Speaker 1: type drive. I mean, that's what you do in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter when you're down about four in The Eagles
Speaker 1: defense needed to get off the field, and they could
Speaker 1: not get off the field. If Kirk Cousins could play
Speaker 1: the Eagles every week, then all of a sudden, he
Speaker 1: would look like a championship type for quarterbacks. Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: quarterback go back the last year week three, head over
Speaker 1: four hundred yards or career high and then in this
Speaker 1: game leading him from behind late to get the victory.
Speaker 1: So once again, a tale of two halfs for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: You go back to Atlanta offense not able to get
Speaker 1: going in the first half, they rally in the second half.
Speaker 1: Dallas nothing got going whatsoever. The Jets. First half was great.
Speaker 1: They got a huge lead, but then Allston the Jets
Speaker 1: had to rally. The Eagles had to hold on in
Speaker 1: the second half after or not being with Gay anything
Speaker 1: going there here Once again, first half, nothing going until
Speaker 1: the very end. They drive deep into Redskin's territory. They
Speaker 1: should have had a touchdown to Zach Ertzt, but then
Speaker 1: Nelson Agler was called for the illegal formation penalty. They
Speaker 1: lied for the field goal and Caleb Surgis, making his
Speaker 1: first attempt as an Eagle, misses goes wide left. So
Speaker 1: the Eagles down thirty nothing and a half. Now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden the second half, they found the deep
Speaker 1: passing game. They own sixty two yards to Riley Cooper.
Speaker 1: Miles Austin had the deep play you had Brent Selik.
Speaker 1: They dusted him off. He was found underneath in the
Speaker 1: red zone after a valiant run there in some pocket
Speaker 1: mobility by Sam effort. So you saw some good things
Speaker 1: there in the second half. The passing game came to life.
Speaker 1: But as you said, like all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: offense need to make one more drive. Okay, they got
Speaker 1: the lead, they were right on the verge, but just
Speaker 1: not able to finish off the deal. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: mentioned those positive things from the Eagles, particularly in that
Speaker 1: second half with Sam Bradford seemed to be throwing the
Speaker 1: ball with much more confidence. Office line did a much
Speaker 1: better job of giving him time with pass protection, and
Speaker 1: they allowed plays to develop down the field. Love the
Speaker 1: fact that the Eagles took their opportunities down the field.
Speaker 1: A couple deep balls won, the aglor won, the Cooper won,
Speaker 1: the Miles Austin two for touchdowns. So that certainly is
Speaker 1: encouraging when you look at this offense, but again when
Speaker 1: you needed to drive in the fourth quarter, couldn't get
Speaker 1: it done. All right, we're gonna hear from head coach
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly and quarterback Sam Bradford a little bit later
Speaker 1: on this show. We're also gonna bring an NFL Film
Speaker 1: senior producer, Great Cosell, who's gonna break down some of
Speaker 1: the all twenty two from this game. But first we're
Speaker 1: gonna take this quick commercial break, and then on the
Speaker 1: other side, we'll hear from the head coach following the

Speaker 1: Duncan Philly. Welcome back to the postgame show here on
Speaker 1: Philadelphi Eagles dot Com. Chris mcphears along so Ike Reese
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from Chip Kelly any moment now. Now,
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries took place for the Eagles, especially
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the football, like Bill Spyron Maxwell,
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks, and Brandon Bear during the course of the
Speaker 1: game when they already worked there. What's that JJ Peters
Speaker 1: on the offenside the ball. I'm just even on defensive
Speaker 1: side of this point, you already had Cedric Thornton and
Speaker 1: Tail Heart out of the game. So when they're going
Speaker 1: into that game winning drive and they already had a
Speaker 1: lot of snaps, especially in the first half, do you
Speaker 1: think that might have played a role. I'm sure it did.
Speaker 1: And listen, anytime you're down a few men, that affects
Speaker 1: your depth. I mean that means that you guys who
Speaker 1: are normally backup players have to play morse plays out there,
Speaker 1: which depletes your depth behind those guys. But there's no excuse.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you're gonna lose guys throughout the
Speaker 1: course of a game. Everybody comes in throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the week, everyone gets the game plan. Everyone's on
Speaker 1: the same page with the game plan in which you're
Speaker 1: supposed to do that week, and when you put together
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster, you put together that roster with
Speaker 1: the idea that I can count on all fifty three
Speaker 1: of these guys if I need them on the field.
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. Every team goes through the
Speaker 1: round the league, injuries, throughout the course of the game,
Speaker 1: losing starters. The good teams who are able to persevere
Speaker 1: through that are the ones who have quality depth behind them,
Speaker 1: and I happen to believe the Eagles have quality depth,
Speaker 1: at least on that defensive side of the ball. I
Speaker 1: just thought in the second half a lot of broken
Speaker 1: plays for the red Skins as well. Couldn't get a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on Cousins, and receivers found time to
Speaker 1: get loose. It seemed like that the Eagles were content
Speaker 1: to drop back in zone coverage and force Cousins to
Speaker 1: beat them, which going into the game, I would be
Speaker 1: perfectly fine with. You know, you figure, if you can
Speaker 1: stop the Russian attack, and Morris and Thompson and Jones,
Speaker 1: they got their yards, they had some big plays, especially
Speaker 1: that draw early in the game, but if you could
Speaker 1: stop the run game, I'd be fine with saying we
Speaker 1: want Kirk Cousins to beat us through the air and
Speaker 1: give Cousins credit, he did do that on the final
Speaker 1: drive of the game. But even though you're dropping everyone
Speaker 1: back in the zone, they couldn't get that passwords going
Speaker 1: up front. Now you saw a stunts, You saw a
Speaker 1: couple of different things Eagles were trying to They were
Speaker 1: trying to bring some pressure up the middle. You saw
Speaker 1: bar when at times on the eight gap flits. But
Speaker 1: overall they just could not really get Cousins off of
Speaker 1: this spot enough enforce them into enough mistakes for the
Speaker 1: Eagles of capots. That was the key thing. We couldn't
Speaker 1: get that critical era from Cousins late in the game,
Speaker 1: and I Kevin sitting there hoping, Okay, I know it's coming,
Speaker 1: it's coming. It's coming. A tip ball, a sack, forced
Speaker 1: fumbles something, and he didn't turn the ball over. You know,
Speaker 1: I just didn't imagine he would go through the game
Speaker 1: playing the way that he was able to play today
Speaker 1: without having that critical era late in the game. But
Speaker 1: we this was a game that we had the chance
Speaker 1: to seal the victory. They had a couple of drives
Speaker 1: there in the fourth quarter, right before that red Skins
Speaker 1: final drive where we were moving the ball and it
Speaker 1: was stalled either because the penalties or the drop pass
Speaker 1: or the pass thrown slightly behind Darren Sprows. I mean,
Speaker 1: those are the things that you have to execute on
Speaker 1: when you want to win on the road. And what
Speaker 1: happened is we'll allow the Redskins to continue to breathe
Speaker 1: and when they got the ball back with six minutes
Speaker 1: left to go in the game, they felt confident. They
Speaker 1: felt confident, they felt all they needed to do was
Speaker 1: pick up a couple first downs and they will be okay.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. Sproles had two drops on
Speaker 1: the day. He did have the big pump return which
Speaker 1: should have led to points at the end of the
Speaker 1: first half. Unfortunately it didn't because Caleb Surgis, the new
Speaker 1: Eagles kicker, missed the field goal. Can't forget about that. No,
Speaker 1: he missed the fields. Yeah, missed the field goal. And
Speaker 1: then after the first touchdown I won the Riley Cooper
Speaker 1: he misses the extra point as well. So you bring
Speaker 1: this guy off the street. He wins the trial on Monday.
Speaker 1: You know, Cody Parky, he's done for the year with
Speaker 1: the injury, the groin injury. So you can't count him,
Speaker 1: and he was virtually automatic for this team last season,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you bring in a new
Speaker 1: guy and you say, just can he make those first
Speaker 1: couple of kicks for you? I thought he did very
Speaker 1: well with the kickoffs, but obviously he was counted upon
Speaker 1: to bring some points to the table and not able
Speaker 1: to do so. And you're gonna look at the file
Speaker 1: score they lost twenty three or twenty Those four points
Speaker 1: make all the difference in the world. You go back
Speaker 1: to Week one, Cody Parkey missing that kick there that
Speaker 1: could have made all the differs in the world. Special
Speaker 1: teams which helped the Eagles win ten games last season
Speaker 1: and certainly provide the boost last week on sproles eighty
Speaker 1: nine yard punt return for the win over the Jets.
Speaker 1: Not Able to come through once again and get those
Speaker 1: couple points needed. Because the thing is, you know, the
Speaker 1: Eagles just don't have that big margin. They don't have
Speaker 1: that ability to say that they can play not as
Speaker 1: well up to, you know, a certain level and still
Speaker 1: come out with the win. They've got to be able
Speaker 1: to execute and get those little points wherever needed. And
Speaker 1: unfortunately this is an example where it came back to
Speaker 1: casting today, no doubt about it. And listen, this is
Speaker 1: impaling on Caleb Sturgeons. I know he's new to the team,
Speaker 1: but this is not the welcoming that you know he
Speaker 1: was looking for. You know, to miss four four points
Speaker 1: out there, you know you could have forced the Redskins
Speaker 1: at the end there to go for two to send
Speaker 1: the game in the overtime. You're still sitting in pretty
Speaker 1: good position if he just does his job. You're talking
Speaker 1: about a thirty three yard extra point and a thirty
Speaker 1: three yard field goal. I mean, that's what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: You gotta come in and do your part, do your job.
Speaker 1: And he didn't do his job today. And in the end,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's the reason the team lost, because
Speaker 1: he certainly is not the reason they lost, but he
Speaker 1: certainly didn't help the case because when he was called
Speaker 1: upon to do his job, he did not deliver. What
Speaker 1: did you think of the clock management at the end
Speaker 1: of the game day we were talking about this off
Speaker 1: camera while watching the game unfold. I didn't have a
Speaker 1: problem with them not using the timehouts because to me,
Speaker 1: I feel like you're counting on your defense to win
Speaker 1: the game. You want them up. We're gonna sending out
Speaker 1: to fect field. And here from the head coach, Chip Kelly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't sustain anything in the first half offensively,
Speaker 1: and that and that that, that's what we talk about
Speaker 1: all the time. In the second half, we protected Sam
Speaker 1: better than gaming an opportunity throw the football, and you
Speaker 1: saw what he could do and we could do that,
Speaker 1: but we didn't. We didn't do a good job on
Speaker 1: the first half of protecting Sam, so we didn't get
Speaker 1: any We couldn't convert their downs in the first half. Wait,
Speaker 1: why can't you running games? Were we were getting banged
Speaker 1: a cup. I think we missed a few bucks inside,
Speaker 1: you know, so we got some penetration. We kind of
Speaker 1: got that straightened down. I thought we ended up moving
Speaker 1: the ball halfway decent in the second half. But in
Speaker 1: the first game, first half, we didn't handle their movements
Speaker 1: very well up front. And it was still a game,
Speaker 1: but it was six man box, wasn't an overloaded box
Speaker 1: or anything like that. We just didn't handle their defensive
Speaker 1: line early in the first half. Defense well, we obviously,
Speaker 1: I think if we called timeouts, we're just saving clock
Speaker 1: for them to score. You know, we're ahead in that situation. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, we felt like Billy always felt like we
Speaker 1: were in a good look. You know, we were on
Speaker 1: a headset to you, if you need it, we can
Speaker 1: use it. But he didn't feel like he needed it.
Speaker 1: So the defense was gassed and all there on the
Speaker 1: field for forty one plus amdences. Now I didn't get it,
Speaker 1: didn't sense that what happened on Caleb's both missises. I
Speaker 1: have to ask him technically on that. I didn't, but
Speaker 1: he missed him. So yeah, they I mean it was clean.
Speaker 1: It was you know, it was a clean It looked
Speaker 1: like a clean snap and a clean hole, you know
Speaker 1: from where I saw on the sideline. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: the film yet. He was fine in practice, but and
Speaker 1: I said that the other day there's a difference between
Speaker 1: practice and a game, and you can't simulate anything. Um.
Speaker 1: In practice, it's going to give you this environment. And
Speaker 1: that's what um. You know, I said that the other
Speaker 1: day it was going to be a big unknown because
Speaker 1: he hadn't you haven't he had had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: kick for us in the game. We change that well,
Speaker 1: we thought we had it early, but we just weren't
Speaker 1: protecting it. Well, so when we had an opportunity to protected,
Speaker 1: then we had the opportunity to get it. To get it,
Speaker 1: we had one of Nelson early. Um, then we got
Speaker 1: one to to Coop and then we got one to Miles.
Speaker 1: But we felt like we had a shot at it,
Speaker 1: but we we just had a protected better and we
Speaker 1: ended up protecting it better in the second after we
Speaker 1: did in the first half. We made this week coverage
Speaker 1: and how they played us. So what do you think
Speaker 1: why they called with a double reverse after we thought
Speaker 1: we had a good look, you know, and it just
Speaker 1: looked like it was the exchange was there, but we
Speaker 1: had the corner, you know, I think we got the
Speaker 1: exchange down. We thought we'd have the we'd have the corner.
Speaker 1: We're trying to get Nelson involved in terms of what
Speaker 1: he did made a big play right there. Um, so
Speaker 1: we're concerned about his conditioning after making long now not
Speaker 1: at all. What do you think the teams had a
Speaker 1: hard time. We're not executing, you know, I think they
Speaker 1: played with great effort, but we're not executing enough. We're
Speaker 1: making Um, it's the execution part. And that's what I
Speaker 1: told him after the game, is I don't fall downy
Speaker 1: of them for an effort stand front. I think they
Speaker 1: all play hard. They'll give you everything they got. But
Speaker 1: we're just you know, there's certain things we gotta do well.
Speaker 1: We gotta execute. You know, we had a couple of
Speaker 1: key drops on that in the fourth quarter. One we
Speaker 1: catch those balls, drive, stay alive. You know, we have
Speaker 1: two key drops, I think, and we're trying to drive
Speaker 1: and keep the ball on our side and put us
Speaker 1: into I think you catch those two balls, those drive,
Speaker 1: stay alive, and we give ourselves an opportunity to score
Speaker 1: more points. But we just gotta execute on defense all
Speaker 1: three levels. What effected I mean, obviously when you lose players, shit,
Speaker 1: that has an effect on you. But we don't make
Speaker 1: any excuses. Everybody loses players realize it's really early in
Speaker 1: the season. But you yeah, I don't. I'm not. We're not.
Speaker 1: We're not concerned with that. We just gonna We're gonna
Speaker 1: go win a football game. I don't think we're concerned
Speaker 1: with where we are holes or anything like that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna win a game. We lost more players game playing better. Second,
Speaker 1: it was just again it's executing. We had scooted in
Speaker 1: the second half at times, compared to what we did
Speaker 1: in the first half, specifically offensively this game with Darren
Speaker 1: when we think that they would work today, just the
Speaker 1: front we were playing. Execution, Yeah, I think it's very correctable.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the deist being a good player and
Speaker 1: being a great player. I mean, can you do it
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis? And that's what we're not getting
Speaker 1: right now. We're not getting consistent execution. I thought when
Speaker 1: we had time, I thought he'd looked good players this year.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think that any of the execution
Speaker 1: we don't make excuses? They wouldn't know. Is there a
Speaker 1: process that time? And we gotta make plays. I mean,
Speaker 1: we can't delay the season. We're gonna make plays. We're
Speaker 1: not making plays right now. The team is going to
Speaker 1: be able to because we I think they play hard.
Speaker 1: I think they do what we ask them to do,
Speaker 1: and we just we just got to get us rightened.
Speaker 1: Out to Peters and Kendricks ree aggravate injuries, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just know they're out, so they just tell me
Speaker 1: if they're up or down and they couldn't go. So
Speaker 1: thanks Jet. All right, there's head coach Chip Kelly addressing
Speaker 1: the media. Following the twenty three to twenty loss at
Speaker 1: the hands of the Washington Redskins, Chris McPherson a long
Speaker 1: stut Ike Reese. We're gonna hear from quarterbacks Sam Bradford
Speaker 1: in just a little bit, could be any moment now
Speaker 1: in fact. So actually we're getting told that. It looks
Speaker 1: like we're gonna say a few minutes before he comes on.
Speaker 1: So Chip talking about the offensive line. Jason Peters, he
Speaker 1: left the game with the injury. So a lot of
Speaker 1: shuffling going on. You already had Matt Tobin making his
Speaker 1: first start of the season at right guard. He had
Speaker 1: to move to left tackle. They have Denis Kelly coming
Speaker 1: off the bench there and moving to the right guard spot.
Speaker 1: And at times you can definitely tell that the pressure
Speaker 1: early on was getting to Sam Bradford. In the second
Speaker 1: half when the Eagles I think wanted to run the
Speaker 1: ball after getting the lead, not able to do so.
Speaker 1: A lot of changed up front. Obviously tough to do
Speaker 1: it on the fly, but again you were going against
Speaker 1: a very tough Washington front seven there yeah, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. And you can talk about the number two
Speaker 1: team in the league versus the run, the Washington riscans
Speaker 1: are so difficult running the ball against this front when
Speaker 1: you have backup players in there. But I thought they
Speaker 1: at a decent job protecting Sam Bradford for the most
Speaker 1: part in that second half, especially with those deep plays.
Speaker 1: I mean, it takes time to allow these plays to
Speaker 1: develop down the field, and the line was able to
Speaker 1: give some protection. And listen, when you're down a man
Speaker 1: or two, it's really about everybody pulling together and just
Speaker 1: trying to get through this thing collectively. I mean, Matt Toby,
Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly, those guys are out there fighting tooth and nail,
Speaker 1: trying to hold it down so that Sam Bradford and
Speaker 1: these skill positions players can do their thing. But that's
Speaker 1: a very good Red Skins front seven if they were
Speaker 1: going up against and I'm actually surprised up until that
Speaker 1: last drive where they were allowing routes to go deep
Speaker 1: down the field. I was surprised at how well the
Speaker 1: Eagles offensive line was able to protect Sam Bradford in
Speaker 1: that second half. Certainly that's the case, and you know,
Speaker 1: you look at the game plan going into this Washington.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the great run defense stout front seven. Eagles
Speaker 1: have had their issues to getting the run game going,
Speaker 1: even though they were able to do so last week
Speaker 1: against the Jets. You'll get that Washington in secondary and
Speaker 1: they've been very good against the past eighth in the
Speaker 1: league in terms of the yards per game coming into
Speaker 1: this contest. But they were banged up. They didn't have
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Hall. Chris Culver was injured coming into the game.
Speaker 1: He did play, but obviously the knee affected him. So
Speaker 1: like even though the Eagles Brendan Butter is to get
Speaker 1: the ground game going, you have the three headed monster
Speaker 1: there at the running back position. When you see the
Speaker 1: injuries that they're having, how much does that affect the
Speaker 1: game plan and understanding that the Eagles are willing to
Speaker 1: take more shots down the field because of the personalities
Speaker 1: back there, how much doesn't affect the game playing for
Speaker 1: the Eagles. For the Eagles, oh yeah, big time. When
Speaker 1: you know the other teams starting corners are either banged
Speaker 1: up or are going to be out, that's when you
Speaker 1: have to take your chances. And I figured this week
Speaker 1: would be a good week for the Eagles to uh
Speaker 1: take shots down the field. When you have inexperienced players
Speaker 1: in the secondary, there's going to be confusion, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to manipulate their defense by offensive formations that
Speaker 1: you present to them, and you're gonna get your shots
Speaker 1: to go down field. And the thing I like that,
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Nelson Aguilar, it was all three of
Speaker 1: those guys on the outside. Raley Cooper had this chance
Speaker 1: to go deep, so that Male's Austin. They both cashed
Speaker 1: in on two touchdowns, and Nelson Aguilar had a forty
Speaker 1: five yard reception himself. So whatever the Eagles were able
Speaker 1: to do formation wise to force the Red Skins into
Speaker 1: the defense with a single high safety so that they
Speaker 1: can get one on one coverage on the outside, they
Speaker 1: need to continue to build off of that because those
Speaker 1: opportunities are going to be there. They will be there.
Speaker 1: You gotta start running the ball early and successful, and
Speaker 1: then when you get that defense at midfield, that's when
Speaker 1: you have to take your shot. Whether it's all for
Speaker 1: play action or not, you have to make a defense
Speaker 1: play honest. And if they don't they don't feel you're
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball deep, they're gonna start creeping closer
Speaker 1: and closer to the line of scrimmage to stop that run.
Speaker 1: And that's what the Redskins came out and did early,
Speaker 1: and that's why I was happy the Eagles were able
Speaker 1: to test them early, to back them off the line
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I would expect to see a
Speaker 1: little more of that. Obviously, you connect the way they
Speaker 1: were able to today. It builds confidence not just the
Speaker 1: Sam but for those receivers as well, and it also
Speaker 1: keeps them mentally in tuned into the game. They know
Speaker 1: that they have an opportunity for the ball to come
Speaker 1: to them, and so they're going to be mentally sharper
Speaker 1: as you move forward. I think that's a positive sign
Speaker 1: for the selfis you mentioned Agalore a very up and
Speaker 1: down game. He had the one handicash of beautiful grab
Speaker 1: down the seam, so obviously made the explosive play there,
Speaker 1: but then on the very next play they try to
Speaker 1: do the end around, he drops it and the results
Speaker 1: in the fumble. He committed the penalty that negated the
Speaker 1: zach Ertz touchdown at the end of the first half.
Speaker 1: He had a key third down conversion in the second half.
Speaker 1: So this is the type of game where he finally
Speaker 1: got involved. Now he had been playing plenty of snaps,
Speaker 1: so he certainly trusted them out in the field, but
Speaker 1: you wanted to see him make those receptions, see that explosives, closeness,
Speaker 1: see that run after the cash ability that we saw
Speaker 1: in the preseason. It's a type of game where, yes,
Speaker 1: he went through some growing pains, but you would hope
Speaker 1: that the Eagles could win from it. So at least
Speaker 1: it's going into the upcoming week. Hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: it's good, you got to win. It's good you're able
Speaker 1: to contribute. But here's some things to work on instead.
Speaker 1: Now it's going to be the Egels are one in three.
Speaker 1: They've got to, you know, go into another week wondering
Speaker 1: what they could have done, trying to fix the little
Speaker 1: things that could have gotten them over the top this week,
Speaker 1: and you're trying to learn on top of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I felt Nelson he had his best game
Speaker 1: obviously of this young rookie career. Seemed to be a
Speaker 1: little bit more a part of the game plan. Bradford
Speaker 1: seeming to trust him, you know, giving him opportunities down
Speaker 1: the field to make plays. Came up with him. I
Speaker 1: thought he should have came up with the past. That
Speaker 1: was a slightly underthrown. It was broken up by the
Speaker 1: dB I thought Nelson could have did a better job
Speaker 1: of going up attacking the ball in the air. But
Speaker 1: these are growing pains that I expect. I mean, with rookies,
Speaker 1: you're gonna see them good one week, and then the
Speaker 1: following week they're going to see a different coverage, different
Speaker 1: defensive technique against them, and it's it's all a learning
Speaker 1: experience for them. So he'll be okay as we move forward. Certainly,
Speaker 1: you just hope that they'll be able to rebound from
Speaker 1: a confidence point losing here on Sunday. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a quick break here on the postgame show presented
Speaker 1: by Rico. We're supposed to hear from quarterback Sam Bradford

Speaker 1: alumni on Apple Vacations speech play. Go to Apple Vacations
Speaker 1: dot com Slash Eagles for more information. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the postgame show presented by Rico. Here in Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot com. We're waiting to hear from quarterback Sam Bradford
Speaker 1: following the eagles twenty three to twenty loss at the
Speaker 1: hands of the Washington Redskins. Like before the break, we
Speaker 1: were talking about Nelson Agilore, the rookie you stepped up
Speaker 1: and had some key plays and obviously some you know,
Speaker 1: mishaps along the way. Today, how about the other rookies.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on the defensive side of the football.
Speaker 1: Eric Row thrust into action with the injury to Bayron Maxwell.
Speaker 1: He had the one pass interference penalty in the end zone.
Speaker 1: You know, it was another chance for him to really
Speaker 1: get his feet wet. And then Jordan Hicks, who was
Speaker 1: already being worked in more at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: game that once Michael Kendricks went out, he was on
Speaker 1: the field for pretty much the entire remainder of it.
Speaker 1: And you saw him come up with another fumble recovery today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean both rookies. Actually, another good showing. Jordan Hicks.
Speaker 1: You didn't know exactly how much he was gonna play
Speaker 1: this week. Turns out he pretty much played the whole
Speaker 1: game at the NED first series, and so did Eric Row.
Speaker 1: For him his party, and I like when I'm seeing
Speaker 1: from Eric Cross a little concern coming out of training camp.
Speaker 1: He just didn't seem to be as as fluid in
Speaker 1: some of his his backpealing his dB sort of technique,
Speaker 1: and I was concerned as to whether or not he
Speaker 1: had the flexibility in his hips and his ankles to
Speaker 1: play the cornerback position at the NFL level. He's looked
Speaker 1: much better since the regular season has began. Started last
Speaker 1: week with a fantastic game against the Jets at then today,
Speaker 1: even though he was called or what I believe to
Speaker 1: be a ticky tack foul, I guarantee you a veteran
Speaker 1: gets away with that call where you hold the rist
Speaker 1: of a player. Yeah, veterans do that all the time,
Speaker 1: the Royal Reeves, I've seen them all do it. It's
Speaker 1: actually a pretty good move for a young guy to
Speaker 1: already know how to do. So I'm encouraged by what
Speaker 1: I saw from Eric Rowe, you know, especially after he
Speaker 1: was had an up and down training camp. He's looked
Speaker 1: pretty good these last two weeks. We don't know what
Speaker 1: the extent of Byron Maxwell's situation is, whether or not
Speaker 1: he'll be playing next week, but from what I gathered
Speaker 1: from what I've seen from Eric row these last two weeks,
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. Jordan Hicks, It's obvious
Speaker 1: the guy's around the football he makes plays, he doesn't
Speaker 1: miss tackles. It's gonna be hard to keep this guy
Speaker 1: off the field. How do you keep Jordan Hicks off
Speaker 1: the field? How is it rookie at that position able
Speaker 1: to be so mentally into it, because it's not just
Speaker 1: out there knowing your assignments. He's calling the defensive in
Speaker 1: certain situations, and it really is you meet Chris. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I consider myself to be a heady player,
Speaker 1: smart player, and I still didn't understand Jim Johnson's defense
Speaker 1: fully until my third year. I mean, that's just how
Speaker 1: complex some of these defenses can be. And to have
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks come in and play the role that he's
Speaker 1: playing as a rookie. It's one thing if you're a
Speaker 1: high draft pick and you've been starting from day one.
Speaker 1: They brought you in here, first round pick, you've been
Speaker 1: in there with the first team. But he thought the
Speaker 1: majority of his reps would be on special teams and
Speaker 1: as a backup player, he's been thrust in the action.
Speaker 1: He's the signal caller out there, and it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like the front seven is missed a beat. You don't
Speaker 1: see a lot of miscommunication out there. He's getting everybody
Speaker 1: lined up. He he certainly doesn't seem to be out
Speaker 1: of place. I don't see a lot of mistackles from him.
Speaker 1: He seems to be around the football when it's on
Speaker 1: the ground. He has what three turnovers in two weeks,
Speaker 1: He's knocked the quarterback out of the game with a sack.
Speaker 1: What more can you do? And I also like that
Speaker 1: number that he wears. It's pretty good number, pretty good number.
Speaker 1: So let's hit it back to fax Field and here
Speaker 1: from the quarterback, Sam Bradford. I wish I knew how
Speaker 1: to explain it, because then we'd get it fixed. It
Speaker 1: seems to kind of be the story of you know,
Speaker 1: these first couple of games is it's almost like work
Speaker 1: two completely different offenses, and you know, once we get
Speaker 1: it going, we're pretty good. But for some reason, it
Speaker 1: seems like there's times where, you know, we just struggle
Speaker 1: to get it going. What happened to your ankle? And
Speaker 1: what did they do with the sideline? Na Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it was just a slight sprain. They just
Speaker 1: taped it, gave it some support. Was there any doubt
Speaker 1: in your mind? You come back in no le me
Speaker 1: get the same angle? Yeah, sort of been a loss
Speaker 1: for words obviously that the move to the rest of
Speaker 1: the guys and how do they get on that same page,
Speaker 1: because it seems visibly it's you know, sort of yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, just come back to work, you know, keep grinding,
Speaker 1: keep putting it in time. Um, you know, I think
Speaker 1: the good news is it's close. Um. You know, a
Speaker 1: couple of these games we've had opportunities to win and
Speaker 1: just haven't finished. Um you know, but it's not like
Speaker 1: or light years away from getting things to where they
Speaker 1: need to be. You know. I think it's just some
Speaker 1: small details here and there. Um, you know, we've just
Speaker 1: got to get everyone's just got to get on the
Speaker 1: same page. Can you describe the mood of this locker
Speaker 1: room right now, because actually one of you is a
Speaker 1: huge hole, you know if you didn't expect it, ye,
Speaker 1: Can you describe it? Um? Yeah, I think everyone's a
Speaker 1: little frustrated right now. Um. You know this is obviously
Speaker 1: now we're we wanted or expected to be after week four. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, just knowing this group of guys for um,
Speaker 1: the short period of time I do, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's gonna quit. I don't think anyone's
Speaker 1: heads down right now. You know, I think everyone I
Speaker 1: thought this week we had a great week of practice.
Speaker 1: I thought the energy levels were great. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I think we'll be back to work Tuesday with the
Speaker 1: same attitude. You know, we know we're close. We know
Speaker 1: we can get on a roll. Um. You know, it's
Speaker 1: just a matter of kind of cleaning up some of
Speaker 1: those small details. Um, you know, so they don't come
Speaker 1: back to buy us more today. I mean, you guys
Speaker 1: act like we don't want to throw the ball down field.
Speaker 1: I think it was just, you know, we saw something
Speaker 1: that we could take advantage of this week, and we
Speaker 1: call a couple of plays, you know, trying to get
Speaker 1: those posts this week. Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: anytime that you can get big plays like that, um,
Speaker 1: you know, they're kind of game changers, momentum change, you know.
Speaker 1: I think the one to Coop, you know on the
Speaker 1: third quarter, kind of got us going. You know, it
Speaker 1: had brought some energy to that sideline. Sam first things
Speaker 1: had fifty yard line, four point leading a fourth quarter
Speaker 1: and it was a three and out. Helps disappointing out
Speaker 1: to kind of put something together the very disappointing. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we felt like at that time we had, you know,
Speaker 1: all the momentum. We felt like we could go down
Speaker 1: and score and put the game away, and just didn't
Speaker 1: do it. Through four games, how would you assess your
Speaker 1: level before? Um, yeah, I think there's been some good.
Speaker 1: I think there's been some bad, you know, obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: I think I'm starting to get more comfortable out there.
Speaker 1: But you know, still too many stakes, still too many
Speaker 1: things that need to be cleaned up, so many expectations
Speaker 1: on this offense because you feel like kind somewhat better
Speaker 1: on paper and see something to drop passage? Is that
Speaker 1: starting to wear on this? Do you think that the
Speaker 1: outside expectations and pressures on this offense? I don't think so. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think at this point, when you're one at three,
Speaker 1: I think those expectations are gone. Um, you know, obviously,
Speaker 1: I think there were a lot of expectations. Really, I
Speaker 1: think that, you know, as a group, you know, we
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on ourselves to score, um,
Speaker 1: you know, every time we touched the football. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we just gotta take a big breath, you know,
Speaker 1: relax and just go have fun. What happened? I mean
Speaker 1: obviously you can convert that. Yeah, Um, I just missed
Speaker 1: a little behind them right there. Um, that's why I
Speaker 1: like that back, Sam. It's it's almost the only games
Speaker 1: it's been one half in each game, and that the
Speaker 1: whole game is if you figured it out as a team,
Speaker 1: figured out why you can't put two halves together. I
Speaker 1: mean obviously not because we did it again today. Um.
Speaker 1: You know I said earlier, you know, if we knew
Speaker 1: what the answer was, we'd get it fixed. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: somehow we do have to find out what the answer is.
Speaker 1: And you know, it'd be great to play four quarters
Speaker 1: because you know, I think that we could really do
Speaker 1: some damage if we played for four quarters, which would
Speaker 1: have interacted to change in personnel and the shifting on
Speaker 1: the offfective line on the offensive. And you um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got confidence on all those guys. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: someone goes down, it's next man up. I really didn't
Speaker 1: think about it much today, Tim, you said earlier about
Speaker 1: getting on the same page. You guys think be gonna
Speaker 1: same page. What's the problem there? But um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think there's just you know, some small details here
Speaker 1: and there that you know, I have showed up in
Speaker 1: the past, you know, a couple of weeks that we've
Speaker 1: left opportunities on the field. Um, you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's just getting out then, you know, making sure that
Speaker 1: we're all seeing things the same way. What happened to you?
Speaker 1: What happened to you the second half? Did you decided
Speaker 1: like I want to air it out? Did you coach
Speaker 1: tell you or how did that work? Um? No, I
Speaker 1: mean it's not like we had any huge change in
Speaker 1: game plan at halftime. Um, you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: just what they presented in the second half was an
Speaker 1: emotional changes half time were what was the atmosphere like? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we were all a little disappointed in the
Speaker 1: first half, but you know, we knew that there was
Speaker 1: still a two possession game, and you know, with our
Speaker 1: ability to score, you know, we didn't think that it
Speaker 1: was that big of a hole. And you know, we
Speaker 1: came out and got on a role in the second half,
Speaker 1: took the lead. Didn't give you confidence though, to know
Speaker 1: like you could finally like auto throw down the field. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: You know I think I said earlier, you know, the
Speaker 1: past to Coop just seemed to kind of get us going.
Speaker 1: You know, it seemed to bring some energy to our
Speaker 1: sideline as thank you, all right, Sam Bradford following deals
Speaker 1: lost three touchdowns two hundred and sixty nine passing yards
Speaker 1: on the day. Welcome back to the postgame show, presented
Speaker 1: by Rico Chris McPherson alongside Ike Reece. I guess one
Speaker 1: thing that if I'm gonna start looking forward a little
Speaker 1: bit and this this stinks right now, at the very least,
Speaker 1: it seemed like Bradford found something there in the second half,
Speaker 1: got the deep passing game going. We saw the beautiful
Speaker 1: touch on those deep throws, got Riley Cooper involved Miles Austin.
Speaker 1: We saw the touchdown in the red zone to Brent Selik.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, maybe there's something there
Speaker 1: to build upon move forward. Yeah, I believe so. Listen,
Speaker 1: we've the outside passing game has been struggling through the
Speaker 1: first three weeks in the season, and if anything, they
Speaker 1: certainly looked to be in a being sync in this
Speaker 1: game with the outside guys. So that's certainly something to
Speaker 1: build off. Fuck. You just heard Sam mentioned that this
Speaker 1: sixty yard played the Roley Cooper seemed to have given
Speaker 1: the sideline a lot of energy, and I agree with you.
Speaker 1: And that's what explosive plays does. I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: they do for a team. If you if you're able
Speaker 1: to get those explosive plays quick strikes. I mean, it
Speaker 1: gives everyone confidence, just like a long pump return does.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what explosive plays does. And that's sort
Speaker 1: of what's been lacking from the offense. All right, let's
Speaker 1: find out exactly how that touchdown to Riley Cooper came
Speaker 1: to fruition. But first we're intends a quick commercial break

Speaker 1: you'll feel it, you'll love it. Here's yes, I never
Speaker 1: know anywhere, no my vamba meaning all right, Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the postgame Show presented by Rico. Interesting quote from
Speaker 1: Sam Brafford during a press conference talking about those preseason
Speaker 1: expectations after the Eagles kind of took the league by storm,
Speaker 1: winning their first preseason affairs looking perfect. I remember going
Speaker 1: back to that Week three game in Green Bay. Seems
Speaker 1: so long ago at this point, but Ike, you've been
Speaker 1: in the locker room through some good times the bad times.
Speaker 1: Eagles are one in three and there are are a lot
Speaker 1: of new faces. You know, you talked about the teams
Speaker 1: in early two thousands, where you know it was a
Speaker 1: veteran group that had been through the battles before, so
Speaker 1: they could, you know, kind of bank on those tough times.
Speaker 1: This group doesn't really have it yet. So how do
Speaker 1: they keep things together, keep things moving in a positive direction.
Speaker 1: What's gonna start with the coach. It's gonna start with Chip,
Speaker 1: you know, And you're right. That's the one thing we
Speaker 1: had going for us back in those early two thousands
Speaker 1: that the team was familiar with each other, sort of
Speaker 1: grew together, gone through adversity together, so we knew how
Speaker 1: to win and lose together and fight through it. This
Speaker 1: is a team that has several new players in key positions,
Speaker 1: they've lost players due to injury, and this will be
Speaker 1: a big test. I mean, this will be a big
Speaker 1: test at one in three. I certainly don't like hearing
Speaker 1: Sam say that the expectations are sort of change. No,
Speaker 1: they don't change. You're one in three. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of football still left to be played. You gotta go
Speaker 1: out there and win that next game and then try
Speaker 1: to start stringing them together. Doesn't matter what your record is.
Speaker 1: That is at the end of the season. You want
Speaker 1: to be playing your best football at the end of
Speaker 1: the season, and you want to be one of the
Speaker 1: qualified twelve teams for postseason play and then you go
Speaker 1: on your run. So why things look a lot, I
Speaker 1: mean they look bleak right now, the team is dealing
Speaker 1: with a lot of injuries and a different adversity. They
Speaker 1: got to stick together, hanging there and just put some
Speaker 1: positive plays together, series together, then the positive games together.
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, you look up, you're in a
Speaker 1: five hundred record and you're back in this thing. This
Speaker 1: is the NFC East. No one is running away with
Speaker 1: this division. It's a long season. A lot of things
Speaker 1: still have to happen. Eagle season is not a whip
Speaker 1: by far. Not a whip by far, long way to God.
Speaker 1: I think when you talk about the expectations, I don't
Speaker 1: think he's talking about the you know, talk about the
Speaker 1: outside perception more of anything else, all the all the
Speaker 1: like Super Bowl hype and things of that nature. I
Speaker 1: think that stuff is out the window. Nobody's talking about
Speaker 1: the Eagles in that regard right now. The Eagles internally
Speaker 1: probably still have the same expectations they should. It's just
Speaker 1: a matter of they've got a rebound, and as you said, Ike,
Speaker 1: they gots take things one at a time. You got
Speaker 1: to start with good series, get some good drives going,
Speaker 1: and then hopefully you get a couple of game or
Speaker 1: two and then maybe things will get rolling for this
Speaker 1: team in the second half of the season. So last
Speaker 1: year they started out nine and three, didn't make the
Speaker 1: playoffs because they didn't play their best ball down to
Speaker 1: stretch here, all right, they're struggling early on, but can
Speaker 1: they heat things up in the middle of this season.
Speaker 1: So to take a deeper dive into exactly what happened
Speaker 1: on the field, let's bring an NFL Film senior producer
Speaker 1: Greg Cosel's going to look at the All twenty two
Speaker 1: from two different plays. First the sixty two yard touchdown
Speaker 1: from Bradford to Riley Cooper and then DeMarco Murray his
Speaker 1: thirty yard run by far, the longest of the season. Greg,
Speaker 1: take it away. This was the Eagles first touchdown against
Speaker 1: the Redskins. It was their longest play of the season. Now,
Speaker 1: I want you to start from Sam Bradford's perspective. He's
Speaker 1: right here in the shotgun. What does he see before
Speaker 1: the snap of the ball? He sees two deep safeties
Speaker 1: what we call a two shell coverage. Now, remember this
Speaker 1: was a long touchdown pass to Riley Cooper who's down
Speaker 1: here on the left side of the formation. So what
Speaker 1: we're going to do is clear the screen and let
Speaker 1: this run, and we're going to see what happens as
Speaker 1: Bradford takes the snap and the play starts. Now you'll
Speaker 1: see what happens if you freeze it right about here.
Speaker 1: Look what happened. The two shell coverage became single high.
Speaker 1: There's a single deep safety now. And notice two things.
Speaker 1: His body position facing the other side of the field
Speaker 1: away from Riley Cooper and the fact that he's on
Speaker 1: the other hashmark, so he's not in position to deal
Speaker 1: with Riley Cooper going to the deep post. Okay, so
Speaker 1: now let's clear the screen. Let this run. You'll see
Speaker 1: exactly what I mean. You get Cooper running by Chris Culliver,
Speaker 1: who I imagine was expecting deep safety. Help. You get
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford beautifully going over the top for the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Excellent throw, beautiful play. Really well done. Thanks Greg, we'll
Speaker 1: come back to you in a second. Just want to
Speaker 1: react to the player really quick. It was great to
Speaker 1: see Bradford willing to pull the trigger on that because
Speaker 1: when you have that single high Look, look, there are
Speaker 1: ways to put the defenses in a bind so that
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they have to figure out which
Speaker 1: side of the field are they defending. It could be
Speaker 1: the route concepts, It could be Bradford making some cell
Speaker 1: head bakes. There are ways to kind of put the
Speaker 1: defense in a challenging position, so they have to decide
Speaker 1: whether they're going to go one way or the other.
Speaker 1: And here they got Riley Cooper open d I know,
Speaker 1: and you watch him on that play. He looks to
Speaker 1: his right, comes back to the left, and then he
Speaker 1: throws the ball to Raley Cooper single high coverage. He's
Speaker 1: laking shore. He gets that safety to cheat over there
Speaker 1: to the right, and then he comes back to the
Speaker 1: left with Riley Cooper. Nice job of Sam Bradford holding
Speaker 1: that safety over there, so it gives Riley Cooper an
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a play on the ball. All right, Now,
Speaker 1: let's get to the DeMarco Murray thirty yard run. Greg
Speaker 1: What happened? How is Murray able to spring for his
Speaker 1: longest game of the season. This was DeMarco Murray's longest
Speaker 1: run of the season thirty yards and you're going to
Speaker 1: see Murray right here offset next to Sam Bradford. Now,
Speaker 1: this is going to be an inside zone run to
Speaker 1: the left side of the formation where Brent Sellick is
Speaker 1: the tight end. Now let's clear the screen and let's
Speaker 1: start the play, and then we'll freeze it and we'll
Speaker 1: pick it up right about here. Frees it. Look what
Speaker 1: Murray does. This is really beautifully done by Murray. First
Speaker 1: he sees the force player color the corner come up,
Speaker 1: and he knows he can't stay outside on his inside
Speaker 1: zone run. Then he does a beautiful job of working
Speaker 1: off the block by sealec right here. So he uses
Speaker 1: excellent vision right here to cut it backside, which you
Speaker 1: can do on an inside zone run. You can hit
Speaker 1: any number of different gaps or holes in an inside
Speaker 1: zone run. So let's clear the screen. Let it run.
Speaker 1: You'll see that Murray works all the way to the backside,
Speaker 1: uses some speed, some quickness, gets to the other side
Speaker 1: of the field. A beautifully executed inside zone run by
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray where he used his vision and running ability
Speaker 1: to gain thirty yards. All right, thanks Greg. So the
Speaker 1: Eagles one and three at the quarter pole after losing
Speaker 1: today to the Redskins. You know, if you want to
Speaker 1: watch them football later on this evening, it'll be the
Speaker 1: Cowboys against the Saints on Sunday football. You can cheer
Speaker 1: against Dallas. Hope there the two and two, but you're
Speaker 1: also previewing next week opponent as well. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: right off for guy. Yeah, that's the best part, that's right.
Speaker 1: So I'll get the root for the Saints tonight and
Speaker 1: then we get to smack them down next week. St
Speaker 1: just playing. Okay, So they're all in three. They've had
Speaker 1: their struggles to this point, so you hope that that
Speaker 1: could carry. They can win tonight, and then they'll regain
Speaker 1: those struggles a week from now to be able to
Speaker 1: you know, find themselves in a wonder for a hole.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing about the nights game. If the
Speaker 1: Saints win, the Cowboys are two and two, you're one
Speaker 1: game out of the lead in this division. I know
Speaker 1: it's one in three. I get it. They need to improve,
Speaker 1: but winning your division puts you into playoffs, and that's
Speaker 1: all that matters. Yeah, that's all that matters. So Saints
Speaker 1: take care of business. You're one game out of the
Speaker 1: league now. Quite frankly, we lose some tiebreakers late in
Speaker 1: the season if we're gonna start winning games in our division.
Speaker 1: But at least no one's running away with the division.
Speaker 1: So two and two should be the lead in the
Speaker 1: NFC East, and that puts the Eagles all being in
Speaker 1: last place, still just a game out of the league.
Speaker 1: So Washington two and two the Giants or two and
Speaker 1: two after being Buffalo today, the Eagles will get them
Speaker 1: the following week. So the Eagles can get some wins
Speaker 1: going and get on a roll put themselves right back
Speaker 1: in position. So that's gonna do it for us here
Speaker 1: on the postgame show presented by Rico. Make sure to
Speaker 1: join us tomorrow at one pm for Chip Kelly's day
Speaker 1: after press conference, and then Brian Westbrook will co host
Speaker 1: Eagles three to sixty with Dave Spadaro for all the
Speaker 1: latest news and notes and that comes your way at
Speaker 1: the end of the day f five pm, right Greece.

Speaker 1: have a decent Eagles night.
