WEBVTT - Post-Game Show: Eagles Lose 26-23 In OT 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:09.480 Welcome to the postgame Show, presented by Rico Chris McPherson 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:16.200 alongside Ike Reese. This is as depressing as demoralizing a 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.680 loss that the Eagles have incurred in quite some time. 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.320 Head seventeen to three in the third quarter, the Eagles 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:29.159 allowed the Tennessee Titans to come back, storm back with 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.400 seventeen unanswered points. The Eagles were able to rebound to 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.479 get a field goal descended to overtime. Jake Elliott put 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.880 the Eagles up by three in overtime. So up twenty 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.080 to seventeen, Ike, you figure the Eagles are in prime position. 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.360 They've been winning these close games all season long, starting 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.800 with the Thursday night kickoff special against the Falcons and 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.199 then last week against the Colts, where it took a 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.440 hail Mary at the end to finally put the Colts away. 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.800 So Eagles up three in overtime, and let's just go 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.520 through the plays real quick. Titans get fourth and fifteen, 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.240 Taiwan Taylor gets a first down conversion. Mariota faced with 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.839 a fourth and fourth situation, Sidney Jones commits a past 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.080 interference penalty a third and nineteen, Mariota scrambles and make 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.440 it fourth and short, and the Titans thought about going 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.759 for the field goal to tie it. However, they brought 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.800 back Mariota on the field and he dumps off a 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.080 screen pass to Dean Lewis to get the first down, 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.000 and of course, the touchdown pass to Corey Davis, who 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.559 had explosive plays all throughout the course of the game, 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:35.320 to give the Tennessee Titans a twenty six to twenty 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.240 three win in overtime over the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.760 drop to two and two on the season. We're going 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.959 to hear from head coach Doug Peterson, quarterback Carson Wentz 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.800 and will have plenty of reaction in the next hour 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:53.440 or so. Ike your initial thoughts on a tough day 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.040 for Eagles fans, especially when you lean on this defense 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.600 to come through in big situations like this, especially on 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.760 the road, and they don't get the job done. Well. 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.240 You know, Chris planning in this league for nine years, 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.600 watching this game for a long time, you know you're 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.560 gonna plan enough of these close ball games that you're 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.880 gonna get your fair amount of wins, but you're also 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.160 going to take some tough losses. And the Eagles through 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.800 four weeks this season, have found themselves in these tight 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.840 games where they've had to come up with big stops 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.360 late in the game, and to their credit, they've been 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.160 able to walk away with the w twice. But today 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.000 they were bitten and it was just far too many 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.200 mistakes at the end of the game. You mentioned a 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.359 lot of the crucial down in distant situations where they're 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.040 in the eagle's favor but for whatever reason, they can't 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.200 find their way off the field orbit whether it's a 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:46.120 holding penalty or you know, being where it's third and nineteen, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.079 fourth and nineteen and Marcus thirty nineteen, Marcus marriol To 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.360 scrambles for seventeen yards and really puts themselves in a 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.720 position to decide to go for it on fourth down. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.080 Gotta give Mike Raybell a lot of credit. I know 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.280 a lot of coaches at home in that situation, the 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.160 field goal fourth and two. But in today's game, and 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.880 you probably got Doug Peterson the thank for this, and 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.800 in today's game, coaches are going for it on fourth down. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.919 I mean, there are so many rules other than advantageous 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.120 for offenses that you're almost better off taking a shot 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.359 at it, especially in a fourth and two situations. So 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.520 the Eagles just confined themselves a way to get off 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.720 the field late in the game to sort of seal 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.720 this victory. Way too many mistakes. Defense once again sort 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.120 of jekoin hidish on the road versus being at home. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.360 You know, we talked about explosive plays. You know, this 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.120 Tennessee Titans offense, this is the best they've looked all 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.320 season long. I mean not They had two touchdowns coming 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.520 into this game. In three games they had scored two touchdowns. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.400 So this offense was pedestrian. Um, you're talking about Marcus 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:54.040 Mariola with a banged up hand. Um. They showed early 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.960 that they were going to throw the ball. So if 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.320 the Eagles had any inclination that they were gonna come 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.800 in here and focus on stopping the run, the Titans 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.200 didn't even try to really run the football today. They 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.840 decided they were going to attack this secondary and there 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.760 were big plays to be had all day. Eagles fortunate 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.880 a couple of times, even on that final drive that 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.840 they eventually got scored on, the Titans had somebody wide 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:18.880 open down the middle. He dropped the ball. Yeah that 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:20.640 right there should have been the ball. Gave me figure 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.320 that this young team trying to emerge should have been 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.320 able to not overcome that they did. Yeah, they were 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.000 able to. I mean, and they had several of those 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.200 plays where they dropped the ball. Mean Corey Davis who 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.599 caught the game winning touchdown, he had at least three 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.200 drops today that would have resulted in big plays for 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.720 the Tennessee Titans offense. You just look at this defensive 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.320 hours and we got to figure out a way to 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.480 tighten up our coverage. You know, uh that you can't 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.480 rely on the pass rush all the time to get 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.120 there to the quarterback and get sacks. With a guy 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.240 like Marcus Mariota, who has athleticism, who has the ability 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.560 to move around extend plays with his legs, you're gonna 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.279 have to have your secondary hold up. And through three 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.760 games or two games on the road, I should say 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.719 we've been shredded through the secondary. I mean, Marcus Mariota 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.200 over three hundred and forty four yards passing, Are you 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.440 kidding me? He guys probably hasn't thrown for that many 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.719 yards in two years, you know, almost seventy percent completion percentage. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.599 Like it was just too easy for the Titans passing 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.840 a one point all right, Mariota had the interception late 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.000 in the first half, picked up by Vonte Max, led 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.640 to three points for the Eagles. Mariota completed his next 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.200 fifteen passes. There was not incompletion until overtime. The entire 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.680 second half, Mariota was perfect and that's why. Look when 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.640 the Eagles got ahead with that Alshon Jeffrey touchdown and 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.400 took the seventeen to three lead, I said, this was 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.800 exactly where the Eagles need to be because the Titans 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.320 have not shown the explosive playmaking ability, the ability to 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.080 come up with those chunk yardage plays in order to 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.680 come back in a shootout type gate. I mean, they 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.159 beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, to their credit, but they wanted 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.919 by a score of nine to six. Okay, this team 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.239 has just been finding ways to win. And you figure 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.279 if the Eagles get up early, especially on the road 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.040 where they have the bug a boo about, you go 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:05.599 to the Tampa Bay game, you go back to the 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.120 Super Bowl of last year. The defense has not been 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.839 the same on the road, so you figure seventeen three, 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.360 they're not going to be able to run the ball. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.280 You're putting the ball in Mario's hands That's exactly what 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.520 the Eagles want to come into this game. But as 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.680 you said, Ike, the Titans game planned to say, we 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.680 can't rely on the run. The Eagles have the best 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.160 run defense in football. We're not gonna win with the 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.560 ground game. Quite honestly, it seemed like every time the 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.400 Titans offense got into a rhythm, you know, with Dion Lewis, 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.359 with Taj Sharp, with Taywan Taylor, all of a sudden 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.120 they would give the ball Derek Henry and they would 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.839 set themselves back. Yeah, Okay, that seemed like they the 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.120 one bugaboo for the Titans offensively. It was every time 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.159 they gave the ball at Derek Henry, that's what slowed 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.240 them down. So they put the hand the ball in 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.440 the hands of their playmakers and they were able to 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.040 come back take the lead. And again, look the Eagles 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.000 found a way to fight back. Okay. DeAndre Carter had 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.120 the amazing punt return forty one yards put them inselves 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.000 in position for the Jake Elliott field goal that sent 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:01.279 into overtime. Jgi Wendell Smallwood move the ball methodagally and 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.400 overtime got the field goal. You figured, Okay, the Eagles 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.480 bounced back, they got the lead in overtime. Again, let's 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.680 give it to the defense, Let's put on their shoulders 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.200 and let them bring home the victory and come back 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.840 to Philadelphia three and one. But that was not the case. 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:19.080 As again, the Eagles got Mariote in down in distant 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.480 situations that were advantageous for the Eagles, and they were 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.520 just not able to seal the deal. It's just gonna 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.160 come down to one play, and this is the type 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.360 of game we're at the end of the year. However 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.520 the Eagles finished, this is the one they're gonna be 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:35.000 kicking themselves in. Okay, because the difference between three and 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.520 one at the quarter pole verse two and two, it's massive. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.480 Dallas one. Today they rallied to beat the Detroit Lions. 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.200 Cowboys are two and two. So as much as everyone's 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.920 making fun of Dallas and the offensive struggles there with 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.880 big d third two and two and right there with 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.440 the Eagles, so as much as the Eagles have been 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.200 able to scrape by, they're at that same mark right now. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.600 Three and one. Two and two is such a huge difference, 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.680 and you're just digging yourself a hole and making much 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.120 tough for as you get into the meat of the schedule, 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.600 which which is gonna be very tough beginning next week 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.320 with a rested Vikings team that's they're gonna be. Their 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.600 season is should be on life support. Life support at 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.080 this point. Okay, they need to come with the whip. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.559 So the bottom line the area is the Eagles digging, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.520 digging themselves a hole and not able to get a 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.840 win in a very winnable game on the road today 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.960 against Tennessee. So Ike, we'll go through. Let's go through 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.840 your your three takeaways. And I think you kind of 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.199 touched on the one already with the past defense. Just 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.520 what have you seen differently from when the Eagles are 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.240 at home as compared to one they're on the road. Well, 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.559 obviously you got the crowd noise behind you. When you're 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.600 playing at home, they're feeding off the energy of Lincoln 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.800 Financial Field. That sometimes can rattle quarterbacks when you come 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.600 in here and makes it hard for them to communicate, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.679 and the defensive line they get a chance to pin 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.559 their errors back. So that's certainly an advantage for the 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.480 Eagles when they're playing at home. It just seems like 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.000 when they're playing on the road, we don't play as 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.520 aggressively from a secondary start, We're not We're not necessarily 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.600 getting up challenging these wide receivers, fighting them for the 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.520 football at the point of attack. You know, when the 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.559 ball is there, fifty fifty balls, you gotta be able 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.400 to get the get the ball out of the wilde 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.320 receiver's hands. And it just doesn't seem like our secondary 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.880 is very good at doing that, and particularly our corners. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.800 And when you look at whether it's Sidney Jones, whether 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.800 it's Jalen Mills, or whether it's Ron Darby, you know 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.720 you're gonna be tested. The Eagles defense is hard to 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.720 run against. So some teams are coming into the game 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.199 with the idea of we're not gonna even try to 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.000 run the ball today, except for when we have to 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.920 run the ball, we can move the ball easier through 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:44.440 the air against this team. Tennessee average thirty three carriers. Yeah, 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.680 most of the NFL yeah, and said we're not gonna 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.080 do that. That's their m And maybe you could say 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.680 Mariota has been injured. They were down there. Their top 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.319 three offensive tackles one point. But still the mL of 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.360 this offense has been run the ball through Henry and 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.360 Lewis through the first three games of the season. Yeah, 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.120 they take their chances throwing it up against Jalen Mills 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.679 and Ron Darby, and we just we gotta take it personal, man, 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.920 We gotta take we gotta take umbrush to the fact 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.240 that you're not gonna keep targeting me over here. You're 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.200 not gonna keep throwing the ball over here. We need 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.680 to get some turnovers, You need to get interceptions, things 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.480 of that nature to sort of discourage opposing teams offenses 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.840 for trying you. Because they're so stout upfront with Fletcher 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.000 and Hellodi Nada and Brandon and all those guys. The 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.000 teams are saying the easier path to moving the football 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.800 is through the air against this team. As long as 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.840 we either max protect give our quarterback enough time to 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.040 throw it, or we get the ball out of our 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.679 hands quickly, we're gonna be able to move the chains 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.480 through the air. And the Eagles have to recognize this 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.240 and it's not going to get any easier each week. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.960 This is a passing league, So teams are gonna throw 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.760 the football against this Eagle secondary. We saw it coming 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.880 down the stretch last year and they just need to 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.600 do better. I mean, they need to do better. The 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.520 guys that are out there are the guys that are 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.600 going to be playing. Those are your three best corners. 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.120 So there isn't some sort of magic potion that Jim 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.800 Schwartz can go to and pluck somebody off the beach 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.839 that's going to do a better job. He's playing his 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.439 three best corners. And you know, i Vante Maddox is 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.360 a young, up and coming guy who got a chance 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.880 to get out there today and had a nice interception, 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.280 had a nice play, but he also got lost in 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.760 coverage and his man was wide open on a overthrow 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.680 that could have ended the game and overtime as well. 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.840 So you know, there's some things that are mixed up 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.640 in the secondary. We gotta get fixed, all right. So 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.720 we're gonna hear again. We're gonna hear from head coach 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.600 Doug Pearson and quarterback Carson Wentz and just a little 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.720 bit first, we're gonna bring you Look, we were listening 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.040 to the Sports Radio ninety four WAP broadcast Merril and 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.400 Mike here in the studio in overtime, and they did 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.080 an outstanding job of capturing the action and making us 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.760 feel like we were there in national Tennessee. We're gonna 0:11:44.800 --> 0:12:37.320 bring those sounds to you in our Meryl Cam feature 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:59.040 who so good is good? He should situations the streams tration. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:06.400 It was possible because I should you do us? Russ, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:40.560 you keep calling to say you need to do you 0:13:40.559 --> 0:14:14.200 need to out pay us. The second section, Shy sing 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:22.480 about two minutes becos the wcause I who d you 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:45.000 saw for you wore? It stands out to the game 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:51.080 because we see the station and conditions and believe because 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:59.920 because she did stop to point away from the ships. 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.600 All right, thanks again to Sports Radio ninety four w 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.120 IP for allowing us to bring you Merrill Cam there 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.320 with Merrill and Mike, So we went through the first 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.680 of your three takeaways. Like, and that's the explosive plays 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.320 allowed by the defense. Let's go to the offensive side 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.760 of the ball and start up front where the line 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.560 just has not protected as well since the beginning of 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.400 the season. In my opinion, going back to when Nick 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.840 Foles was a starter, today that protection was an issue 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.480 once again. Yeah, officsive line protection was a huge problem 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.720 for the Eagles the day and like you said, it's 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.720 been that way for the last couple of weeks. Carson 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.720 went since his return. Sacked nine times five last week, 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.400 four more to day, hit countless other times under the rest, 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.640 plenty more opportunities for Tennessee to come in there and 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.840 sort of rattle Carson a little bit in the pocket. 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.000 And I can't necessarily put my finger on what the 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.880 exact issue is because you have all five of your 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.160 guys in there, everyone's healthy. We're just not doing as 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.120 good of a job as we've done in years past 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.240 of protecting the quarterback. And they're too good up front. 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.440 You're talking about four Pro Bowl players to all Pro players, 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.600 and a Hall of Fame to be player in Jason Peters. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.120 There's no reason that the Eagles offensive lines shouldn't be 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.120 doing a better job of protecting their quarterbacks. And I 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.879 don't care how tough Carson is. The more you hit 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.119 a quarterback, the more rattled he's gonna be in the pocket, 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.240 and the more that he's gonna start either getting rid 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.520 of the ball too soon or holding on to it 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.440 too long. That's just the effects, the cumulative effect of 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.840 hitting a quarterback, and that's what defenses want to do. 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.960 So offensive line need to do need to pick up 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.760 their pick up their play when it comes to pass 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:32.359 protecting list. Excuse me there, It's not just the offensive line, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.080 it's the running backs as well. When you when when when, 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.119 when you're in pass protection, you're right, it's not just 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.560 the offensive line who have to block. When you're getting 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.960 extra rushes in there and you got either a tight 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.080 end part of the protection or the running backs or 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.440 part of the protection, the running backs have to be 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.200 on the same page with the offensive lineman. And it 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.440 started last week with the Coats. What teams are gonna 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.480 do is you're gonna get four guys rushing you straight. 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.480 You're gonna get these loopers, these tes and et stunts 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.840 where they're trying to get you to pass defensive linemen 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.560 off and confusion. They're trying to get an advantage in 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.000 a one on one matchup and two often a day 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.720 when Dale Smallwood was caught back there not blocking someone 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.840 because he was confused on who to block and that 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.119 led a free rusher to come in. So, yeah, when 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.040 you're talking about pass protection, it isn't just the offensive linemen. 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.360 It's the running backs that when you are a part 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.760 of the protection, you must know who to pick up. 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.560 What scary is with these schemes we saw it last 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.119 week with the Colts. You see it again toy with 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.720 the Titans. And you mentioned those loopers and those delayed 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.679 blitzes and delayed rushers. That's something I think teams are 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:34.800 going to see and say, you know, this is something 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:36.480 Eagles not being able to handle. And you don't know 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.280 whether it's a communication, if it's just not knowing the 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.960 rules and responsibilities on each play. And again, like I 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.040 just mentioned to you, it's not just the offensive line, 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.480 it's you know, that's where I think missing Darren Sproles 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.520 comes into play in a big way because he's so 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.240 good in pass protection. But across the board there, you know, 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.200 I just don't know if those five guys the stars 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.119 are just playing as well as they did last season. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.520 You know, maybe it takes a week, you say after 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.280 the Colts game, it takes a little bit of time 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.200 for the team to adjust to blocking for Carson Wentz. 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.080 But you figure Carson Wentz guy's feedback, he's adjusted to 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.240 playing in the pocket all right. Now he has another 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.800 week of practice with these offensive linemen. You knew you're 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.040 gonna see these types of blitzes and pressures from the 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.639 Tennessee Titans today. But the problem is, you know, once again, 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.720 and actually you know, we're gonna hear from the head 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.560 coach and see what the issue was himself. Let's set 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.320 it to Nashville. As Coach Pearson address up the media, 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.960 you can say you gave a wink that you had 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:34.600 and let go. What is the next step here, Well, 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.960 it comes down to, first of all, you have to, 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.200 as I said in that locker room, you have to 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:45.720 hate this feeling more than you enjoy winning. And it 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.240 comes out each guy. I'm starting with myself, and I 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:49.720 look at myself in the mirror and make sure that 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.400 I'm doing everything I can to prepare this football team 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:58.040 for each weekend. And effort obviously is always there. And 0:19:58.160 --> 0:19:59.800 we have to we have to look at the film 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.880 quite honestly, and and and it's all fixable. The things, 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.960 the things that were the mistakes we're making are all fixable. Um, 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.880 whether it's a you know, a coverage element being out 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.280 of position or you know just uh, you know, a 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.359 holding when we're on the perimeter offensively, we can't do 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.440 you know, it's just things that we can correct and 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.720 practice during the week. And and that's that's what we 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:29.960 have to do. Very offense to school lead. You know 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.680 this road stuff with defense. I mean we're talking about 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:39.120 talking about exactly. Um, it's something scenario that that we've 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:40.480 we've got to I've got to look at it this 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.119 week and and uh, you know, because we are schedule 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.000 is set up, we're home away, home away, so we 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:46.959 you know, we're gonna be on the road just as 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.880 much as we are you know, playing at home. So um, 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:55.360 it's something that uh, you know, we understand I think 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.159 where we are as a football team. And uh, you know, 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.680 nobody's gonna feel sorry for us, you know, with the 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.640 injuries or you know, there's no excuses, so we don't 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:05.760 feel sorry for ourselves. We just got to continue to 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.960 work and and and keep getting better. But the last 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.920 play of the first half, you run our running play 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:13.879 with I think it's like eleven second blocks from the 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.919 clock from the ten yard lines. The block process, get 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:18.680 the first down, burn the time out, and then have 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.120 maybe eight seconds to start taking shots to the end zone. 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.720 Do you preach to your guys you know that penalties 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.760 it's so good you address with and how frustrated these 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.399 APLA gys have started it. It seems like it's in 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.680 every game and really feels like you're beating yourselves in 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.080 those situations. Yeah, I mean, the penalties are are are 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.880 racking up and can't can't happen. We've got to we've 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:43.200 got to eliminate those and and uh, you know, it's 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:46.200 just it's something we do look at you know, I 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:47.840 look at it here in the next couple of days 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.560 and and uh before we get ready for the next opponent, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.000 and try to put a finger on it and just 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.040 keep keep coaching the guess that's all we can do. 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:56.639 If you just keep coaching them out of it. It 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.240 seems like our hands are basic work pressure this year 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:04.879 as he has as particularly with the Blitz. We'll give 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:07.480 them credit. I mean, that's it's a pretty good front. 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:10.040 We knew that going in. You know, it's a good defense. Um, 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:12.520 so I give them a lot of credit. Number one, 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:15.439 number two. Again, we'll look at the film, we'll make 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.320 we'll make our corrections. It's a couple of guys got 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:20.040 edged a couple of times. Uh, you know, we got 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.440 to make sure that our backs and you know, there's 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.119 there's a cohesiveness with that all that protection. It's not 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.240 just one guy or two guys. You know, it could 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:29.399 be could be the offensive line, could be the quarterback, 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.000 could be the coverage, and so we just have to 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.119 address it. And uh, um, you know, we pride ourselves 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:37.359 and picking up the pressure, picking up the blitz, and 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:45.480 we'll get back to that. And uh, we just as 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.080 a situation again where we were just a little out 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.200 of position. Um, and again credit them. It's a great 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:55.680 play obviously, fourth and fifteen. You know. Um, it's a 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:59.440 fixable situation obviously, and uh we'll we'll get it corrected 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.359 with the whole movie parts of the defensive backfield. The 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:04.440 last a couple of weeks, he could change this week. 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.680 Uh do you expect a little bit that there's gonna 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.920
