WEBVTT - The Post-Game Show: Eagles defeat Cowboys 33-27 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.440 Ladies and gentlemen, how about this finish the Eagles in 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.800 overtime being a forty one yard touchdown from Jordan Matthews 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.920 to walk out of Arlington, Texas with the much needed 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.800 thirty three to twenty seven victory over the Dallas Cowboys 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.520 to get to four and four on the season, the 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:59.880 Eagles overcoming two penalties in overtime, but nonetheless Sam Braff 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.680 to Jordan Matthews after Ryan Matthews convert a fourth and 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.240 one to get the game winning points. Just add this 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.920 to another great chapter of the Eagles Cowboys history. I'm 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.800 Chris McPherson joined alongside by Ike reas here on the 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.360 postgame show presented by Rico. Wow. What a game there. 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.000 As the Eagles persevered in overtime, they allowed the Cowboys 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.479 to tie the game off a field goal that joined 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.440 off the upright and went through just barely. But they 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.160 got the ball first and overtime, Ike, and they took 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.039 care of business, marching down the field eighty yards and 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.160 Jordan Matthews, to his credit, after all the criticism about 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.000 the drops in the first half of the season, nothing 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.520 fell on the ground that came his way tonight and 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.760 he comes up with a big play, the one that 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.280 this team needs to spark them in the second half 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.000 of the season. I don't even know what they're saying. 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.520 I don't even know what just happening. That was such 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:59.160 a great game on the role Muslin situation, back and 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.080 forth games, lug fest for both teams. You could tell 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.280 the desperation and both of these teams eyes as their 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.160 seasons hand hung in the in the balance on this 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.480 game tonight. And the Eagles go on the road and 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.320 get a much need to win and they had the lead, 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.360 they lost the lead, they went the overtime, disappointment. Big 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.079 plays on fourth down, Ryan Matthews converting the fourth, fourth 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.120 and short and then Sam Bradford with the with the 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.519 with the great throw over the middle to Jordan Matthews 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.840 and Jordan Matthews, that's what I'm talking about. That's yeah 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.160 yards after the catch. Great job Jordan Matthews getting in 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:42.399 the end zone. Let's go home and get them back 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.560 to Philadelphia. So we're gonna go to Arlington, Texas. We're 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.720 gonna hear from head coach Chip Kelly, We're gonna hear 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.160 from quarterback Sam Bradford, and how about jamarco Murray. You 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.240 talk about a man running with a purpose that Week 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.360 two game, just two yards rushing. Well, it was a 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.919 much different ball game today, and he had some key 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.720 plays in overtime to get them in field position. Right 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.600 here you see him going down the sideline on the 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.200 wheel route. That was during the game in the regulation, 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.679 but when the Eagles had a false star penalty, it's 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.960 first and long. Who they give the ball to. It 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.440 was DeMarco Murray who was able to get the yards 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.520 back and help the team move the chain, so that 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.800 touchdown in overtime would not have been possible without the 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.800 effort that Murray made go in against its former team 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.440 and certainly wanted to make his statement known as he 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.000 finished with eighty three yards on eighteen carries four point 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.320 six yards per carry, and he had a touchdown as 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.600 well in the game, no doubt about it. I mean, 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.640 this game really was about DeMarco Murray and I talked 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.360 about this coming and took this game. If you wanted 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.560 to ride someone in this game, twenty nine would be 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.040 the guy. He's the most highly motivated person on the 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.520 team to go back to Texas play against his former team. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.560 Certainly didn't like his performance in that first game. I'm 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.520 sure he held himself accountable for that, even though it 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.360 wasn't all his fault. But the fact is he was 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.840 the guy coming into this game tonight that really was 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.400 playing with a chip on his shoulder, and he showed 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.800 it every time he touched the ball, not just running 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.600 the football, catching the football as well. He ran with 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.720 determination each time he had to pigskin in his hand. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.160 All right, so much here to celebrate.

We're actually 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.920 celebrating quite more than that here on the postgame show 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.480 presented by Rico. The Eagles winning in overtime thirty three 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.040 to twenty seven. They are now back to five hundred 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.719 on the season. And Ike, this game was so important 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.080 because obviously you knocked the Cowboys back. They now lost 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.240 six straight games. They're two and six on the season. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.960 Their last win came back in Week two against the Eagles. 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:43.720 It was important for the Eagles to get this game 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.680 because they had to keep pace with the Giants who 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.720 won and they still lead the NFC East with a 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.360 five and four mark. Now, you're absolutely right, Chris, This 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.000 this game had so many ramifications coming from the results 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:55.960 of the Eagles are basically stuck a nail in the 0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.280 coffin of the Dallas Cowboys with this win to night 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.719 over them down their third straight win in Texas Stadium. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.520 I believe four out of the last five trips down 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.720 there the Texas Stadium, they beat the Cowboys. They beat 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.120 the Cowboys, and so this was a win that was 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.080 going to allow the Eagles to stay right behind the 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.000 New York Giants, who won the day put them back 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.800 at five hundred and in my opinion, this month, this 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.880 was the game that they had to get. This was 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.200 the toughest game to me. It's on the road in 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.320 Dallas against the team that handled them pretty world early. 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.680 Now the Eagles take care of business, come back and 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.720 you got you gotta win at home and for your 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.760 next couple of games over Miami and Tampa. How crucial 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.080 was it like to see the running game get going 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.960 the way too, because we all wanted to see coming 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.840 out of the bye week exactly how the Eagles offense 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.240 would look. And I thought Chip Kelly and did a 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.920 great job of implementing the three headed monster. Obviously Murray 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.120 was a focal point of the offense tonight, but you 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.960 saw Ryan Matthews has a great change of pace back, 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.320 did a great job getting to the edge, and then 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.920 Darren Sprows, a very understated role in this football game 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.520 was running the ball quickly in between the tackles, converted 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.679 some first downs and gave the other guys a break, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.480 but also converts some much needed yard. So all three 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.960 running backs played a huge role in this game today, 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:17.880 and that's the way it should be to me, that's 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.840 the formula right now until the passing game can sort 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.600 of get itself together. And it looked like Jordan Matthews 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.160 certainly spent his time during the bye week working some 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.000 things out in Sam Bradford again threw the ball very 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.679 well coming off that game against Carolina a couple of 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.800 weeks ago where I threw He threw the ball much 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.120 better than his numbers sort of indicated. So until this 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.319 passing game sort of catches up the speed with each other, 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.600 the chemistry, you got to rely on those three Pro 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.920 Bowl running backs. You got Ryan Matthews to Marco Murray 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.560 and Darren Sprows, three capable guys that can carry you 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.840 to victory. And I thought they set the tone tonight. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.000 It was very clear to me early in this game 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.079 the running the football was a priority. They ran an 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.400 in between the tack was they ranted on the outside. 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.640 You gotta give a lot of credit to this offensive line. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.840 This is a makeshift offensive line. No Jason Peters to Night, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.480 Lane Johnson had to play on the left side, Dennis 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.880 Kelly had to start at right tackle, and to run 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.960 the ball. The best game of the season, I believe, 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.400 so far for the Eagles without having their starters in there. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.240 Man hats all to the offensive line to Night. I 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.840 thought they kept Sam clean for the most part. But 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.200 it was the running game, in my opinion, that set 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.920 the tone for this game. The physical nature of running 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.760 the football, I definitely agree with that. To Sam Bradford's credit, 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.920 you go to that final touchdown there, he did a 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.640 great job of ball placement. You know, it's not just 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.199 getting the ball to his man to Jordan Matthews, it's 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.199 put into a place where you can catch the ball 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.200 and continue in stride. Because this offense is all about 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.760 generating the yards after the catch. So it's incumbent upon 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.319 Bradford to be accurate with the football. And that's one 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.400 of the things that we heard a lot about Bradford 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.480 coming into this season. It was his pinpoint accuracy. Well 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.040 it was on display on that touchdown and that's the 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.839 type of play where maybe ill spar something and get 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.960 him going for the second half of the season. And 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.040 I would also say he did a great job of 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.760 throwing with the bodies around him. You knew the offensive 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.600 line was gonna have a tansfall with the Dallas defensive line, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.920 so Bradford was gonna have to work from the pocket, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.520 but at times a muddy pocket, and they thought he 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.559 did a great job on that standpoint as well. So 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.160 I think Bradford has looked so much more comfortable in 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.080 the last couple of weeks, but it was good to 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.400 see him carry over the momentum from pre buy into 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.000 what he did here tonight. What's been the consistent theme 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.439 at this offense the last three or four weeks, It's 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.360 been the running game. The running game is what sets 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:38.320 up the play action pass in this solfense. The misdirection 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.320 allows Bradford to get on the edges at times, and 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.319 when you run the ball as well as the Eagles did, 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.000 guests who's gonna be wide open over the middle, Jordan Matthews. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.360 And that's what you saw there right off the play 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.400 action fake. Sam Bradford was able to step into that 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.319 throw deliver a good pass to Jordan Matthews where he 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.800 can run after the catch. And that's what the running 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.120 game does in this so offense. Chip is this offense 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:06.000 is designed and predicated on running the football extremely well. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.240 It's going to set up the passing game. When you 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.160 look at the offense the last two years, the running 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.160 game has been there. The quarterbacks have fed off of that. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.480 So it's no surprise to me that Sam Bradford the 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.800 last two games it looked very good throwing the ball. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.240 Even though the Carolina game his numbers didn't say so, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:27.240 the throws were there. He made the throws with pinpoint accuracy. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.840 And I think it starts when that defense has to 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.080 honor the run game. It's going to set up the 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.240 play action pass. Now. I also want to give court 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.040 the Zach Ertz. You go to that drive at the 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.440 end of the game where they had to get the 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.160 field goal, they took the lead briefly. Ertz made a 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.560 great grap along the sidelines. And Urt came into this 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.960 game saying during the week that he's one percent healthy 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:51.080 from that pre preseason core muscle surgery. That kind of 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.199 sidlined him, and you know it was a little hard 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.920 for him to get going well tonight. Five catches for 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.520 forty four yards, the long the one I was talking 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.360 about a moment ago. Twenty seven yards. He was a 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.679 go to guy for Bradford Tony. I was able to 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.480 bail them out some key situations, but every time the 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.000 ball was around him, he seemed to come down with it. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.520 So he's a guy who is basically saying, I want 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.439 the ball, Sam, you can trust me. They're developing a 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.960 report and I think he and Matthews are gonna be 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.960 integral to work in that middle of the field down 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.040 here in the second half of the season to get 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.520 the pass game going. As you said, the run game, 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.280 it's already on track. They've got that figured out. The 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.560 Eagles have done a great job scheming the guys open 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.920 and figuring out what works best in getting a good 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.000 rotation going. Now it's a matter of getting the it's 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.320 getting the pass game going. And speak of the pass game, 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.079 let's hear what Chip Kelly thinks about the overtime win. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.240 Let's send it to AT and T Stadium in Arlington. 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.760 He's in the first half we had we had the 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.240 second time we were on the play. The other time 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.440 Jordan caught it and ran. The ball kind of bounced 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.680 down to like the five, and then we scored the 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.280 next player on a sweep after that, So it was. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.440 It was just the same same play call. We had 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.200 called it once and we're successful on it, and I 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.800 felt like if we got over midfield that I was 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.160 gonna call it again. Arguing for Jordan Matthews, he's had 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.920 so many jobs this year. He's been really hard on 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.800 him from himself, especially after that Carol M. I'm extremely 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.560 happy for I'm like I'm happy for everybody though. I 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.880 think it was a team victory and um, I got 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.080 full confidence in Jordan. So you know, the great part 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.800 about Jordan is he don't pay attention to it either, 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.040 just like we talk about and he's been great. You know. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.040 I think if you have a work ethic like he has, 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:40.640 your work ethic will help you get out of a slump. 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.360 And he did a great job. What do you think 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:46.160 of offense and fine? Uh, you know, I thought they 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.920 did a good job. Obviously, when you're down, Jason and 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.800 we had a shuffle some guys over. Lane's first time 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.040 playing on the left side, um, you know, Dennis Kelly 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:53.439 and the first time to start for us since we've 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.440 been here, Um out at tackle. You know, he had 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.880 started for US at guard last year. But I thought 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.959 those guys did a really nice job against a four 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.600 horrible front. We knew that going in that was gonna 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.200 be a heck of the matchup for US. Seem like 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.360 a real up and down game, a lot of inconsistencies. Yeah, 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.079 good football team. UM, we knew going in it was 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:11.599 gonna be a battle. You know. It was one of 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.600 those deals where I don't think you could compare for 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.560 prepare for everything. Um playing at Dome, we had a wind. 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.240 It rained on us. Uh, some things that you didn't 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:21.640 think would happen when you play in the Dome. But 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.520 you know, Caleb that it was a little bit more 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.520 difficult kicking that way. So that that kick he kicked 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.600 for us, the fifty two or fifty three yard or 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.000 into a little bit of a breeze, there was a 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.200 win down there a little bit so um. You know, 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.040 then you see it at the end of the end 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.560 of the game. Um, they go out for a field goal, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.480 it hits the upright. Usually when it hits the upright, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:41.960 it doesn't go in. You know, it hit the upright, 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.880 came down in. Um. So it was just kind of 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.640 one of those games. But UM, our guys battled. They 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.520 battled right to the to the last and uh, proud 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:51.800 of them. I think they had a great week. We 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.920 talked about it. They had a really good week this week, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.000 as good as we've had around here. Uh. And it 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.080 showed in our play tonight that obviously last wee a 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.440 little bit better than a week before. What do you see. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.400 I think Sam is continuing to improve. Um. I thought 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.200 he was really accurate in his throws today. Um, you know, 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.360 put the ball on guys in the right spot. You know, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.240 you look at the play with Jordan, it was a 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.400 heck of a throw. He threw it before the guy 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.440 fell down and then but it gave Jordan an opportunity 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.760 to catch and run. You know, sometimes those throws, if 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.440 they're not accurate, it's a tough route to kind of 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.520 time up. You know, you may catch it and you know, 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.400 kind of turn around and you get a you got 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.160 a good game, but you don't have a chance to 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.400 have a great game. And what you know, So he 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.040 gave Jordan an opportunity to run and get it in. 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:33.000 So it's like you relied on Sam Moore. The longer 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.280 the game, you gain more and more confidence. I've always 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.880 had confidence in Sam. I just like it's how the 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:39.400 game played out. I thought we were pretty balanced in 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.520 terms of being able to run the ball um and 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.920 then once we kind of got moving, we had a 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.800 lot of long dribes. There were a lot of long 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.600 fields for us. We didn't start. I don't think we 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.800 had any, you know, obviously, because they're so good in 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.040 the return. I mean in the kick game, we didn't 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.720 have any kick returns. We didn't have any punt return 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.760 so there's there wasn't a real flip in the field. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.040 And then the one turnover we had that we created, 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.520 thank god, Jordan Hicks actually brought it all the way 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.280 back for our square. So it wasn't like we got 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.960 a turnover and had a short field or we had, um, 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:05.840 you know, a return that gave us a short field. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.160 We had long fields to go um, So on all 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.840 of our drives, we we had to kind of pound 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.120 it out, and I think we were pretty balanced in 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.960 terms of doing that. So the first time again, I 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.880 think we just executed and blocked up front. You know, 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.000 I thought, I'll give our guys up front did a 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.600 heck of a job and um, you know, that was 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.160 the challenge for him going in. I thought they handled 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.160 their their defensive front for the most part. You know, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.600 it's a very formidable front. They actually had some new 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.040 guys that we didn't face the last time I face 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.280 you know, Hardy for the first time, greg Uh Gregory 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.640 for the first time. UM. But it was you know, 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.680 I really proud about how those guys played, especially with 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.760 you know, Lane bumping over and Dennis getting his first 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.240 started right tackle. So we're on the fourth down there, 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.960 Did you think about not doing that a report all 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.080 the way? No, I mean I thought we were gonna 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.000 get it, so we were gonna go for it on 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.720 the final Cowboys drive? What did you think of that 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.200 pass interference call? They made it? That's what I thought, Well, 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:56.040 what was he was kind of right on his edge 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.840 that way because there was a wind coming um that way. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:00.880 He probably had a little bit more going the other way, 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.400 but he was really right on the edge of what 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:06.600 we could kick. But we're stuck with him after early struggles. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.520 Can you talk about now he's the only kicker we have, 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.239 so it wasn't like I was gonna bring another kicker in. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:15.280 So for a team that has struggled before, the yether 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.040 win like this after the bye going down the stretch here, 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.320 what canna win? Like this do for this team. It's 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:21.879 it's the same thing I told him, the same thing 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:23.679 I told him after Carolina game. One down, one to go, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.200 and the same thing. That's the same message in there. 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:26.920 One down, one to go. We're gonna get back. We're 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:28.840 gonna get back late. They have tomorrow off when we 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.320 come back Tuesday, and we got to really start a 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.160 good week of preparation for Miami. We actually, um, someone 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:34.320 told me, I I don't know if it's true. We're gonna 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.040 actually check where we actually where we may be able. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.159 We may have a game at one o'clock on a Sunday. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.159 So um, our guys are kind of excited about that. 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.399 But you carry over into it, it means absolutely nothing 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:45.959 because you lose next week and it didn't carry over. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.520 So we don't talk about that, like, hey, we had 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.000 a good game last week, let's just ride the way 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.879 if we gotta come back. Got to work on Tuesday. 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.120 So there's something about Sam you can only learn and 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.919 in those those late game situations, over time situations. No, 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.280 I mean, I I know Sam, and I got total 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.320 confidence to Sam. I've always had total confidence in Sam. 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.680 So I didn't learn anything new today about Sam. Was 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.040 always something about Murray in the passing game that he 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.560 felt that take advantage of. We just some of the 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.600 matchups for the linebackers, and after Sean Lee went out, 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.000 you know, we thought we could exploit that and that's 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.840 what we did. Did you see this as kind of game, man, 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.600 I don't really concern. We're just trying to get wins 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.119 each week and then we'll figure out. We'll pick our 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.200 heads up and after that last game against the Giants 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.440 to see if we're going enough games. But I've never 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.560 had a conversation with our guys about East the NFC 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:27.800 out of division. I mean, if that's the case, then 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.359 we shouldn't even show up this week because it's an 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.280 AFC opponent. So we don't care, right, I Mean, that's 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.639 not our mentality. Our mentality is every single week we 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:34.760 got to go out and play and at the end, 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:36.480 do we have enough wins that are good enough to 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.320 get us into the playoffs, And if it is, it's okay. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.560 But we never talk about who the opponent is and 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.400 how this game is more importantan that game. Every single 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.879 game is important when it comes down to it. So, first, Alfle, 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.120 what was the thinking in terms of the Cloud management. 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:48.600 They're trying to get out of their end. I know 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:49.879 they had a couple of time out, so if we 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.560 didn't get a first down there early, you know, all 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:53.879
