WEBVTT - Post-Game Show: Eagles Fall 27-21 In Tamp 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.639 All right, Welcome to the postgame Show, presented by Rico 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:13.200 Chris McPherson alongside former Eagles linebacker Ike Reeson Ike. This 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.800 is an unusual position for us doing the postgame show 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.720 over the last year. The Eagles on the losing end 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.840 of a twenty seven to twenty one decision at the 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.520 hand of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers got out 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.400 to a twenty seven to seven lead using explosive plays 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.520 early in the third quarter. The Eagles showed a lot 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:33.360 of fight to get back in the ball game, but 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.080 in the end, it just wasn't enough and the Eagles 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.680 fall to one and one on the season. We're gonna 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.240 hear from head coach Doug Pierson, quarterback Nick Foles while 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:45.559 their press conferences, as well as Mike quicks exclusive one 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.879 on one interview with the coach as well coming up 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.520 later on the show. But big picture here, Ike, We'll 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.920 start with the offensive side of the ball. Just not 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.959 enough explosion, all right, Tampa Bay was able to get 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:58.640 some big play start and we're out to jump with 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.120 the Shawn Jackson seventy five your touchdown against Jalen Mills 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.080 and Malcolm Jenkins. But the Eagles had the methodically moved 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.000 the ball throughout the course of the game. Thought Nick 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.320 Foles played very well, but just not enough playmakers for 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.679 him to get those chunk yards and seem like the 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.280 Eagles wanted to take a grinded out approach, which worked 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.960 through the first half until once again the buck struck 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.240 with another seventy five yard touchdown pass from Brian Fitzpatrick 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.200 to Oj Howard. Some poor tackling led to that big 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.960 play there, and the Eagles were playing catch up from there, 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.720 falling behind twenty to seven going to the halftime and 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.080 losing twenty seven to twenty one. Night. Yeah, when the 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.120 Eagles look back at this game, that's really what they're 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.320 going to be kicking themselves about, Chris is the big 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.479 plays they gave up on defense. I thought offensively, they 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.759 did what they wanted to do. They know that they 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.120 are lacking explosive players in this offense. You don't have 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.600 al Sean Jeffrey Jagi went out early. Kudos to him 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.200 from being able to fight through that back issue, come 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:53.800 back in there and try to tough it out to 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.640 help this team. But just not enough explosive players. No 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.480 Darren Sproles today, so when you know you don't, you 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.720 don't have the ability to really score within two or 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.640 three plays. You're gonna have to move down the field methodically, 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.800 and I thought the Eagles did that at times today, 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.680 But when I look at this game, it really boils 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.079 down to two plays. I mean, the first player of 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.200 the game. You cannot give up a seventy five yard 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.680 touchdown pass to former Eagle to Sean Jackson. You gotta 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.000 make the Bucks work to get the ball in the 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.400 end zone. You know, Royan Fitzpatrick has done a nice 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.800 job the last two weeks, but just too many easy 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.840 touchdowns for him. A one play touchdown drive there. The 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.880 Eagles get a little momentum back after the Corey Clement touchdown, 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:34.960 and then the defense turns around and give up a 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.840 one place scoring draft scoring drive to Oj Howard due 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.400 to poor tackling. You can't have that. This is too 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.280 good of a defense. I'm pretty sure they're gonna hold 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.960 themselves accountable when it comes to that, because they pride 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.680 themselves on forcing teams to really work to put six 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.000 points on the board. You may move the ball in 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.440 between the twenties or in between the goal lines, but 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.520 this team doesn't usually give up touchdowns from the defensive side, 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.320 and to give up to one play drives, I'm sure 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.320 Jim Schwartz and his players that's what they're gonna look 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.040 back at this game and think about all games that. Man, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.200 there's no way we should have given up one play 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.799 drives to this team. Had we just made them work. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.760 Who knows, you get a turnover. There were a couple 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.160 of times Tampa was moving the ball and we came 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.520 up with big turnovers. And that's what you have to 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.200 do when you're planning against a guy like Ryan Fitzpatrick. 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.120 See if he can play mistake free for ten to 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.880 twelve plays, you're giving him a scoring one play. His 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.040 confidence gets going. And that's what happened for this Bucks offense. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.520 They were riding high after putting up forty eight points 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.000 against the Saints on the road last week, and then 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.800 you allow him to get comfortable by having easy scoring drives. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.680 The Eagles defense, I thought, didn't do their offense any favors. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.560 We knew the offense was shorthanded. You knew the offense. 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.720 You're gonna have to keep the You're gonna have to 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.760 keep the points down in order to give yourself a chance. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.440 I thought this offense battled all day. I thought Nick 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.160 battled all day. You had some guys contribute that you 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.680 didn't necessarily think we're gonna contribute coming into the game. 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.320 They fall short six points in this game. This is 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.080 a game that was very winnable for them. You give 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.000 the Bucks a chance to come out early on you, 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.119 I guess you want to take you want to take 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.360 something out of this game of silver line and is 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.920 the fact that they played like champions and they didn't 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.200 roll over over one hundred degrees out there down on 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.880 the field. This team didn't give up. I saw players 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.120 in the first half dropping like flies. You didn't know 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.200 who was going to be left at the end of 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.880 this game. Like I said, if there's any silver lining 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.120 in this is that this team didn't give up. That's 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.400 the heart of a champion. There's some things they can 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.520 learn from this moving on the next week. But this 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.520 was a winnable game for them. This is a winnable game, 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.720 and a lot of fans are just gonna say it's 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.600 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.520 right there when you saw the schedule come out. That 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.640 was gonna be a win for the Eagles, and that's 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.600 I think it gonna be. Some of the disappointment there 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.760 for fans right off to jump, and also the fact 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.880 that this was a winnable game when it came down 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.279 to the end. They knew going into this game that 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.120 they had to stop those explosive playmakers. Tampa Bay had 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.800 nine plays of twenty yards or more in the pass 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.000 game against New Orleans a week ago. The Eagles they 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.000 wanted to button that down after giving him five such 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.520 plays to the Falcons in their Week one win. Well, 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.360 the first play of the game, as we see DeShawn 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.320 Jackson against Jalen Mills, Malcolm Jenkins came down seeming to 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.919 defend the slant route and then Jackson took off on 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.720 the post, knowing probably that Jaalen Mills had been you know, 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.400 had had trouble with double moves in the past, and 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.039 unfortunately Jackson got over the top and once you're over 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.120 the top, there's no help there. That was going to 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.279 be an easy touchdown. But the defense buckled down after 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.040 that point and seemed to settle in and you felt like, Okay, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:34.920 if the Eagles can get that touchdown back, which they 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.240 did on the Corey Clement touchdown, a fifteen yard run. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.200 You felt like the Eagles had them right where they 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.800 wanted them. Okay, the defense was rolling. And then on 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.320 the very next play, the first play from scrimmage after 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.719 that touchdown, it's a pass play over the middle to 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.839 Oj Howard. Jordan Hicks had good coverage but wasn't able 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.080 to make the tackle that Ronald Darby went to go 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.720 for the strip and seven tackle, and then after that, 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.840 Howard was off to the race. Because Howard's a very 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.760 athletic tight end, very fast, very much in a zach 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.240 ll maybe even more athletic than zach Ertz. Was still 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.160 able to take it to the house from there, and 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.720 you just felt at that point from the defensive side, 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.599 it's gonna be so hard for the Eagles offense to 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.280 get back into it because they had to move the 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.040 ball so methodically down the field. Again, kudos and Nick 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.520 Foles because he took a pounding down there in the 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:22.040 backfield today from the Bucks defenders. But overall, you know, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.240 didn't make it a lot of mistakes, was smart with 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.320 the football, got the ball quickly when he had to. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.120 You know, there just weren't enough playmakers to help him 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.719 on the outside and Ike we were talking about this 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.839 a little bit off camera. That's what's so concerning watching 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.000 the Eels offense early in the season is the fact 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.800 that there's not a lot of difference between this offense 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.760 and the one at the end of the twenty seventeen 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.440 campaign when you didn't have Carson Wentz and players like that. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.960 But still you didn't have Darren's Bowles at that time either. Yet, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.400 there's not a lot of difference, but the explosion just 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.680 isn't there. It just seems like it's very hard for 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.360 this team to get going. You have Nelson Aglore, obviously, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.520 you don't have Jeffrey right now. You still have zach Ertz, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.280 but those big places aren't as a funding as they 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.200 were at the end of twenty seventeen. Yeah, and they 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.480 gotta find that rhythm, right, you know, as an offense, 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.919 you gotta be able to find those plays within the 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.680 without I mean, within the course of the game. You 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.560 gotta be able. They're not gonna be there readily for 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.600 you when you dial them up, but you're gonna have 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.640 to be able to find big plays in the game. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.960 Guys that can take you know, a ten yard pass 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.800 and go twenty thirty forty yards. That's what you're sort 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.080 of missing. We saw Nelson be able to do that 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.480 one of his long receptions the other day. But you 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.640 need just a little more of that. And I'll tell 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.160 you another thing that I think is hurting the offense 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.200 a little bit. The running game isn't as consistent. You know. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.760 The big part of this offensive success last year, especially 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.040 in the postseason when they got things clicking, is that 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:42.920 they were able to run the ball. And when you 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.680 run the ball, you set up play action and that's 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.160 where Nick does his work. When he's able to put 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.280 that ball in the belly to running back pull it out, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.960 whether it's an RPO or it's a play action role pass, 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.240 that's when Nick can get in the rhythm. I tell 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.800 you Nick is a little better on the move than 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.040 most people are give him credit for. He can't and 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.680 extend plays. He's not gonna outrun guys, but he can 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.080 extend plays if you get him outside the pocket, and 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.600 I think that's sort of what they're missing. Inconsistent running 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.760 the football. They ranted at times well today, but Jess 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.680 wasn't as consistent with it. And here's the other thing. 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.200 Penalties in the first half killed them far too many 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.680 instances where they were behind the chains first and fifteen, 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:26.480 first and thirty. Of those, I think there was a 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.040 second and forty or first and forty. I mean that 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.120 downing distance is unheard of, and that's difficult to find 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.280 any rhythm. Duck and look at that play chart all 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.120 he wants to. He knows there are no plays on 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.240 that pay chart to convert when it's first and forty. 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.480 So penalties early in the game, I thought they killed 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.640 the drives for the offense. I thought they settled down 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.120 and in the second half. They were a much better 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.440 offense in the second half than they were in the 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.600 first half. Just couldn't get key stops at the at 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.840 the right time from the defense. Even that final touchdown 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.360 to Nelson Eglo, that's a great drive there. That was 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.959 they were started by the defense, Malcolm Jenkins punching the 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.319 ball out from Mike Evans when they got a chance 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.800 to go down and extend their drive. That's a great 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.319 throw to Nelson Agilore in the end zone. But now 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.719 we need the defense to get get a three and out, 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.679 get a stop to get the ball back to the 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.960 offense with a little time on the clock, and then 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.440 the Bucks were able to get a couple of first down, 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.160 not one, but a couple of first downs. They pretty 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.520 much drained the clock and leave the Eagles with the 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.080 you know, first and ten situation inside their twenty yard 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.360 line and just have a chance with no time at 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.839 that point. There you're talking about the misques, you know again, 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.360 second week in a row where the opposing team gets 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.240 an early star on them. Last week, at least they 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:37.839 were able to hold a land to the field goal. 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.640 This time around, Nod's lucky obviously, with the Jackson touchdown, 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.520 Corey Clement and a big punk return in the first 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.559 half that was brought back to due to a Josh 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.360 Perkins block in the back penalty. You had a first 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.680 down run by Clement where you lost yards because Nelson 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.880 Aglo had an illegal block on it. You had a 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.840 big game by Mike Woss that was wiped out by 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.120 a Jason Peters penalty. So those are the ones that 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.080 hurt you, man. Yeah, they kill the drives. That's the 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.760 biggest thing is And it's actually in a game like 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.000 This's where you knew that you didn't have to be 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.160 perfect on offense, but there wasn't that huge margin for error. 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.440 Those little things will add up over the course of 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.080 the game to put you in a bad situation there. 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.560 What did you think of the defenses scheming those Bucks receivers, 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.960 because you go from top to bottom and we saw 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.480 how talented they are, from Deshaun obviously, to Mike Evans 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.800 to Chris Godwin and had a touchdown pass as well, 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.600 and they have the two tight ends with Howard and 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.960 bred What did you think of the defense and the 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.400 way that they were playing mostly off coverage and allowing 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.079 Fitzpatrick to kind of dink and dunk his way until 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.520 those big plays over the top were available. It's a 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.680 difficult way to live. It just is. If you're not 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.680 going to get up in challenge receivers in this league, 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.960 you're gonna give them free releases and then hope you 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:42.880 can come up and make the tackle. When you have 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.880 skill position players like a Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, DeShawn 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.880 Jackson's even Oj Howard, I mean that was really just 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.199 a ten yard pass that he wind up taking sweat 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.160 seventy yards for a touchdown. You just can't have that. 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.600 But those are type of skill position players that the 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.920 Bucks have, and I think what it says is there 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.240 there's a little bit of ball lack of confidence, I 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.040 think from the individual players when you don't want to 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.880 get up there and challenge these guys at the line 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.760 of scrimmage when you're trying to keep from getting beat 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.240 over the top. We're gonna have to figure out a 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.679 way to challenge some of these guys because there are 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.280 no days off, there are no Sundays off in the NFL. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.080 When it comes to playing defensive back, just about every 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.160 team has go to guys that can make plays. The 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.920 wide receiver position has become the most athletic, the best 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.560 athletes on the field in today's NFL. And when you 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.560 allow these guys free releases and able to catch the ball. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.160 I mean Deshaun Jackson catching the ball in open field, 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.520 that's a punt return to Helm, So you know it's 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.520 gonna be hard to bring him down one on one, 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.200 even a guy like Mike Evans. Great job by Malcolm 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.319 Jenkins being able to strip the ball from him. Well, 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.920 most times Mike Evans gonna make a guy miss and 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.360 then he's out the door for a big play. So 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:57.360 I mean it's it's it's something that we've got to 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.559 adjust to. We saw it last week. Gave up a 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.200 lot of plays underneath to Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.439 But I'll tell you, Chris, you can't. You can't make 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.440 a living in this league trying to play with your 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.160 back to the goal line. Meaning that if you just 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.640 want to keep guys in front of you, and we're 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.840 gonna get to the red zone and try to play 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.040 stout defense then and see what we can keep them out, 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.400 It's gonna be difficult to do. Man. Everybody isn't Steve Sarkisian. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.719 You know, somebody you can get these guys multiple opportunities 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.320 down the red zone. They're gonna come up with schemes 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.679 to get their best players free. And when you face 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.439 the team like the Bucks, who do you double? I mean, 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.920 who are you trying to take away? Whatever? Guys? Look 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.000 at the Mike Evans touchdown. It was against Jalen Mills 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.360 a two way ago. He just took the slant, easy 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:45.440 pitching cash right there. As a defense, if you try 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.320 to key in on one of these guys, then you're 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.679 leaving single coverage for somebody else. And with this offense, 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.520 that the Bucks have. They're just too skilled. And if 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.800 you can't get the Ryan Fitzpatrick and rattle him, make 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.080 him throw arrant passes. He was comfortable back there to day. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.800 I mean, he had time to throw the balls, just 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.000 like he did last week against New Orleans. And I 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.280 know we make fun of fitz magic, but he's a 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.400 thirty six year old to see a whole lot that 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.520 started a lot of football games. They're playing at home. 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.800 He's comfortable and that's that's pretty much with that boil 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.200 down to You couldn't get to him. I mean, completion 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.400 percentage that's unheard of. High eight. Threw the four hundred 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.320 yards four touchdowns once again. An interception wasn't even his 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.280 fall bobble. Yeah, ball gets knocked into the air, and 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.480 you know you were looking for a play like that 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.800 to turn the tide. Yeah. I thought the pass rush 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.160 was good in the first half, but it seemed like, 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.320 especially after the Bucks got that second touchdown from Oj Howard, 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.760 it seemed like that those guys were wearing down. You know, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.880 the heat's obviously gonna play a factor either. You could 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.400 be rotating guys in out, but you need the starved players. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.839 You need Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox, those guys to 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.480 step up, and those those guys are gonna be wearing 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.440 down throughout the course game because of that heat, no 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.280 matter how good a rotation you have. So I felt 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.000 like that if they weren't gonna bring the blitz, which 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.480 they try at times, what Fitzpatrick, to his credit, understanding 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.160 what defenses are going to try to do to him, 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.800 they were able to block it up nicely and he 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.640 was able to find the open receiver. It felt like 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.720 that the strategy there was they need to win up 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.000 front with the front four. They did so early on. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:12.439 They at least did so in the run game to 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.160 make it so that they weren't two dimensional from that standpoint. 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.400 But nonetheless, though rely on that four man pass rush. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.480 It wasn't gonna pay off dividends when the Bucks are 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.560 willing to keep an extra blocker in to make sure 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.520 that they get I mean, there were some plays it 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.160 was a two man run. I think the opening play 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:28.840 was a two man a route. It was a two 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.360 man route. It was just Evans and Jackson. But when 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.000 you have two skilled position players like that, they can 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.240 work for you. And here's the thing that the Eagles 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.600 defense and Jim Schwarz, they're gonna have to come to 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.880 realize when you're facing teams because there's such a great 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.120 reputation with the front four front eight of this defense, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.520 teams aren't gonna wait until they are in obvious passing 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.080 situations to try to take their shots. They're gonna take 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.760 their shots on first down. When you think we're gonna 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.760 run to football, we're gonna get in base personnel. We're 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.040 gonna match Max protect, and then we're gonna run a 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.840 two man route. That was the first player of the 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:06.440 game that was a run personnel offense for Tampa, and 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.280 through to form they had a play action. You get 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.080 Malcolm jumping up thinking it's gonna be around. You got 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:13.920 two backs in there, you got two receivers, and you 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.400 got a tight end. And next thing you know, that's 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:20.000 really a max protection formation and they really just want 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.160 to see who can they get Mike Amazon a crossing 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.760 route or Deshaun Jackson going deep into post. And so 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.720 because of how good their defensive front is, teams aren't 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.560 gonna let you dictate to when you can come after 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.080 their quarterback. They're gonna try to hit you first, and 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.600 that's typically gonna come on first down. Now, if you're 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.360 gonna get them in an obvious passing situation, then they 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.160 have to throw the ball. But they want to try 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.240 to catch this Eagles defense by surprise by throwing the 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.760 ball on first down and taking their shots on first down. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.120 What's interesting, Ike is and you we were talking about 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.640 this a little bit before off camera. You go back 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.120 to the end of last season, the road games, you know, 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.520 at New York at the end of the season. You 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.360 go back to the the Super Bowl, you know, against 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.160 New England. You look at the defense here today. The 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.320 defense on the road just isn't as stout as it 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.680 is at home. I don't know if there's a rhyme 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.640 or reason to it, but for whatever reason, you can't 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.800 really find a common thread between all the teams, I 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.360 mean all teams. You can't really say that what the 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.560 offenses are explosive, they certainly a playmakers, but outside of that, 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.200 it's bizarre to see how good and how dominant this 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.040 defense can be at home, like we saw in the 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.000 season opener against Atlanta, only to come back here and 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.480 you're giving up, you know, four hundred and thirty six yards, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.600 but again three hundred and ninety three of them through 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.800 the air. Yeah, you look at the teller to tape there, man, 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.280 I mean they dominated in time of possession. Tampa Bay 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.520 was basically one dimension or today throwing the ball. I 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.320 mean when they look at this teller to tape, this 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.080 stat sheet after the game, they're gonna be kicking themselves 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.600 because it's gonna come back to two plays. It's gonna 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.640 come back to the first player of the game and 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.120 then the first player at there. You had gotten yourself 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.800 back into the game with the Corey Clement touchdown, the 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.880 big touchdown to O. J. Howard. I mean, really, that's 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.000 the difference in the ball game today. I mean, that's 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.120 the difference in the ball game today is those two 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.560 big plays. I look at that teller to tape and 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.960 I'm saying, well, the Eagles played well enough to win 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.600 this game with the exception of two plays, and that's 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.119 the difference. In the NFL, it normally isn't a huge 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.800 gap between the talent from either teams. When you're facing 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.720 each other, it's usually a couple plays that either the 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.520 other team hits on and you miss on. That's the 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.840 difference between you winning and losing the ball game. Going 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.960 back to that time of possession there again, thirty five 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.560 almost thirty six minutes there for the Eagles. I thought 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.560 that would work in their advantage. Yeah, I was thinking 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.480 the way the offense was moving the ball methodically, I 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.879 thought that they could wear down that Bucks defensive line. 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.040 But at the end of the game, Jason Pierre Paul 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:43.919 was still making plays. Bo Allen had to come out 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.120 with a foot injury, but Gerald McCoy had a big 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.800 sack late. I was hoping that this offensive line for 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.680 the Eagles would be able to run the defensive line 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.920 of the Bucks into the ground, knowing that they don't 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.679 have the depth, especially from the pass rusher standpoint, and 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.000 they would be able to take advantage there. But you know, 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.720 just because they had to play catch up so frequently 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.120 and get those points quickly, it just wasn't It wasn't 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.480 me to be yeah, And you know, Doug looks at 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.080 that and he says, well, we did what we wanted 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.600 to do offensively. You know, well, we'll take this. Of course, 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.720 you gotta have Jake Elliott, you gotta make you feel 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.399 go sir, you gotta knock those in. But other than that, 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.479 when the Eagles got down to the scoring area. They scored, 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:27.159 they typically scored, So I thought, offensively, you did what 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.760 you wanted to do. We just didn't do, in my opinion, 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.760 what we wanted to do. Defensively, you gotta make you 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:37.200 gotta make Tampa drive that ball. Ten twelve plays, eat 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.800 up some of that clock. And the reason why you 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.280 want to do that because the likelihood of a guy 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:46.040 like Ryan Fitzpatrick making a mistake within those twelve plays 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.160 it increases. But if you just allow him to score 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.240 on one play drives his work is done. It's easy 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.040 work for him. So I thought the defense came up 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.120 a little bit short today, although they made some big 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.240 plays to help help us get back in the game. 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.639 I just think those two plays, man, when they when 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.760 they get it, when they get on that plane headed 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.000 back up north here to Philly, they're gonna think about 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.639 those two plays more than anything, because everything else, in 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.359 my opinion, was what I thought it was gonna be. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.080 Tampa is a good, good football team. When Ron Fitzpatrick 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.840 isn't a turnover machine. You don't go to New Orleans 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.200 and put up forty eight points on Drew Brees and 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.800 the Saints without being a good team. They have skilled 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:26.560 position players, very explosive, but if the quarterback isn't going 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.280 to be made to feel uncomfortable in the pocket, then 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.080 you're gonna have a long day, especially on the road 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.240 in his house and then that type of heat out 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.199 there exactly. The one drive that stood out to me 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.760 outside of the big explosive plays was the one late 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:40.399 in the first half where Chris godd would have got 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.800 the touchdown reception. Fitzpatrick was five or five on that drive. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.000 It was six plays. It was very easy, and that's 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.000 where you started wondering did the defense have enough fight 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:50.600 left in it to be able to come back in 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.159 this ball game. That's where you started to say to yourself, well, 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:55.840 you know, there's a situation where they just got the 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.439 explosive play, touchdown, offense doesn't muster or anything. Do we 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.720 have to be perfect? I think the defense knew early 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.400 in the season, with the injuries on the offenside the ball, 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.120 that they would have to be much better. So let's 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:07.520 find out what the coach as to say. Let's end 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:16.800 it to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. UM, a 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.359 lot of uh, you know, a lot of dis disappointed guys, 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.960 quite honestly, Um, a lot of self inflicted wounds today. 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.000 You know, um obviously got beatn we gotta take the 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:29.280 lost week. I learn from it. But you know, I 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.560 try to preach our guys that, um, you know a 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:33.760 lot of times it's it's it's our execution. You know, 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.920 it's what we do and uh that really matters. And 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.760 we weren't successful in that area today. So a lot 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:42.120 of a lot of dejected players. But you know there's 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:43.520 a lot of a lot of a lot of football 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.960 left and and um, you know we'll we'll get it 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.480 fixed on uh next couple of days and get ready 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:56.119 for next week exactly. Yeah, I just gotta look at 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.720 the tape and see what happened. I mean, you know, um, 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:01.240 we just got to make sure we're in position to 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.080 make those plays, will be ready for especially early in 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.359 the football game. And and I won't speculate on it 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.200 until I see the film obviously and see who see who? 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:13.480 Uh uh we need to correct he was for a 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.600 while and a little bit. Did I feel like you're 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:21.040 just missing some Well yeah, I mean anytime you're you know, 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.560 you're down a couple of bodies, it it uh, you 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.440 know it affects you offensively, it tweaks your plan a 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.720 little bit. But we had confidence in the other guys 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.400 to step in and and um, you know, we would 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:33.400 rely a little bit more on the run game and 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:35.359 some of the things there. But the thing it was, 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.720 we kept going backwards for all first half. We were 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.159 you know, we weren't staying ahead of the sticks. We 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:42.960 were getting penalties and lost the yardage on first or 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.520 second down and just playing from behind a lot. So 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:48.800 you know, yeah, the injuries hurt, but but again it's 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:56.080 self inflicted personnel. Now, I mean, you know, he's worked 0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:58.560 with those guys before. But at the same time, you know, 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:01.280 we've got to do coaches and players offensively, we got 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.000 to do our job, make sure that we're putting these 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:05.679 guys in position to be successful. And and um, you 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.679 know obviously by by play call play design that that 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.879 starts with me and and uh making sure that the 0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:14.760 players that with the guys that go in the game 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:16.560 that they can handle. So it's not it's not on 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:20.359 one persons. You hear percentage of your headset and then 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:24.000 still kind of go off maybe got there and the 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.640 office run. What did you hear on the four four 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.919 all in your headset as far as the percentage, I 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.439 was going for it anyway. Regardless of percentages. We were 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.320 plus fifty. I mean we were. I was going for it. 0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:37.080 I felt we had a little momentum on that drive 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.040 and and uh uh felt confident that we were going 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.479 to get the uh get the first down. So I 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:46.720 was going for that one first third eleven game off. 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:55.040 But little three twenty three last first half, third eleven 0:22:55.080 --> 0:23:02.640 remember your own manage you get small six charts with Yeah, 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:04.240 I mean I think that I felt like the defense 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.480 was gonna be you know, soft cover two ish and 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.560 and h five man box and chance to maybe break 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:14.800 a run. I guess is that that answer your question? Okay, 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:25.240 all right, those stars slow starts, UM, gosh, good question. 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:32.000 Um you know it's uh, I don't know, um scenario 0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:33.600 that we got addressed the next couple of days. You 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.960 got to fix it moving forward. UM, you know, it's 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.400 it's it's every man has to look at themselves be included, 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:42.159 and uh start with that and uh make sure that 0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:45.440 we're ready to go down. I mean not just a 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:52.199 two seventy, just a number of big players on first down. Um, 0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:58.080 I mean thing before well, That's what we talked about 0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.359 all week. You know. We we had like five plus 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.280 twenty yard games, I think in the Atlanta game and uh, 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.320 defend against our defense and then and the you know 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:08.600 the couple today, and we talk about eliminating the big 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:12.359 play and and then conversely, offensively, we try to create 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:14.400 the big play, and and big plays can come either 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.240 in a run game or the passing game. And um, 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:19.480 you know, again offensively, we're just we were just so 0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.919 far behind, you know, in the in the first half, 0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:25.080 just with penalties or lost yardage that it's it's tough. 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:27.320 And uh uh you want to be able to on 0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:29.040 first or second down and be able to you know, 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.520 shoot the ball down the field and and do some 0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:35.239 things that way. But again, we gotta just gotta look 0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:37.080 at it, man, We just gotta look at it each person, 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:39.359 you know, man to man, and just just own the 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.480 own the uh you know, own this game and and 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:52.480 move on week. I'll talk about that later this week. Well, 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:54.040 a lot of times, you know, with the with the 0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:57.719 tight end situation. Um, you know, some of us by 0:24:57.760 --> 0:24:59.800 game planning, when we lose some receivers, you know, we 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.119 start having to use the second or third tight end 0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:05.920 and um um and then plus it listen, it's it's 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.920 a complex thing because it starts moving bodies around and 0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:13.240 and um without getting um real specific with the game 0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:16.679 plan because obviously you don't know the game plan. UM, 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:20.520 just one one one part that goes down, then you 0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.520 have to adjust everybody else. And a lot of times 0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.600 it's easier with perk in the game. Uh Dallas played. 0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.400 But at the same time, it didn't change our receivers 0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:32.040 on the outside. It kept those guys you know, sort 0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:35.239 of in their same spots. Again, you don't know, and 0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.200 this is not against you, but I'm just saying, without 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.440 knowing the offense and the formations and the personnel that 0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:43.879 we have, UM, it's a UM. It can be a 0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:49.200 chess match moving moving multiple parts on offense. That means 0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:52.640 it makes sense it. Yeah, I know it's complicated because 0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:54.399 you don't know the plan. That's and that's nothing against you. 0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:56.200 I'm just saying you don't when you don't know the plan, 0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:59.639 the formations where we move guys and have guys specific 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:02.239 in the game plan. If one guy goes down, now 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:06.199 it shuffles the whole thing. And and so it's we 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:08.680 can keep it real consistent by just moving one part 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:14.160 and not many parts. I don't I just confused you more. Sorry, 0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:24.960 last year, I can't see rebound straight story. You know, 0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:32.960 you know this one last year? Yeah, you know, And listen, 0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:36.720 I'm I can't go back and relive those days because 0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:39.640 it's a new football team, new season. Now, we're gonna 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:42.040 learn from this and we're gonna be better and and 0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:44.080 and I you know, vowed to the team in there 0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:46.720 that that we will get better. And obviously that starts 0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:48.840 with me. But you know, we do have to remember 0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:51.920 what we did a year ago. But at the same time, 0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:53.919 I'm not going to pull back anything, you know, go 0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:56.960 back and start pulling out any kind of memories because 0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:59.679 the new football team, new faces, and we got our 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:13.240 own circumstances now to fix. Yeah, I'll talk more about 0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:20.480 it probably tomorrow, probably want. Yeah, I thought you saw 0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:22.679 you saw his resiliency. I mean he took some shots 0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:25.000 early and and and stayed in there and and uh 0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:27.640 you know, rebounded, made some made some nice throws, good decisions, 0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:30.399 led led a couple of nice drives. But again, we'll 0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:34.000 evaluate it. We'll see where he's at. And uh, um, 0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:35.760 you know, we got everybody's got to look at it 0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:44.159 and and make corrections and move forward. Yeah, it was. 0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:45.840 It was enough to keep him out. I didn't want 0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:48.520 to risk any further with him in the game, and 0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:52.080 it was early, early enough to to just just if 0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:58.919 emergency situation if we needed to come back. Yeah, there 0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:04.960 were a couple of things I I don't remember off hand. Yeah, 0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:07.720 we'll get back to Philly. We'll check on him again. 0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:14.960 Probably have an update for you tomorrow. Okay, thanks, all right, Hey. 0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:18.120 Coach Doug Pearson, addressing the media at Raymond James Stadium, 0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:20.800 obviously a bunch of disappointed and dejected guys in the 0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.720 locker room, went into a long explanation about why we 0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:25.960 saw a lot of Josh Perkins, who was very productive 0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.000 in the time out in the field. To me, just 0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:31.359 offers more of the receiver element. Knows more about that 0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.760 faster than the offense at this point than Dallas Goddard. 0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:36.440 But we still expect to see plenty of him in 0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.760 the future. But I'm sure fans are gonna be wondering saying, 0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.000 this was a guy who shined in the summer. You 0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:43.040 know it was good in the preseason. Was your top 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:45.560 draft pick in twos and eighteen. How can we see 0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:47.760 more of him when you need those playmakers, but you 0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:50.560 need someone who could work on the outside, especially with 0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:54.360 those very good linebackers in Kwan Alexander and Lavante David 0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.440 sou Injury front, though, that's the big thing early on, 0:28:57.640 --> 0:28:59.440 and it happened very early in the game too, where 0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:02.240 Ji went down, came back in the second half and 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:05.040 scored the touchdown. Mike Wallace had the one nice play 0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.680 but got injured. It was an ankle injury. He came 0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:10.480 out of the game, and then Jason Piers exited the game, 0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:12.600 and you know that's something you don't want to see, 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:15.640 especially with the pass rushers that the Buccaneers have come 0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:18.360 into his matchup. But overall, I thought Big Va quitted 0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.880 himself nicely. He gave up a one sack early on 0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.760 there against Jason Pierre Paul, but for the most part 0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:25.840 he selled it. I thought was more like what we 0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:28.920 saw from him in twenty seventeen, which you know, with 0:29:29.040 --> 0:29:31.000 Piers getting up there in age, you know you need 0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:33.040 that backup guy and by time to be ready at 0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:35.360 all times. And I thought he did a better job today. 0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.120 I thought there were times where Foles had time in 0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.440 the pocket. Yeah, he definitely had the time. The pass 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:42.800 protection wasn't the issue. It was just he didn't have 0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:44.479 the playmakers to get open to get opened. I mean, 0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:46.240 that's basically what it boils down to him. When you're 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:50.160 talking about Joshua Perkins getting a NOD today. You know, Dug, 0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:52.760 if I can explain it in layman's terms, he's basically 0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:54.880 looking for one on one matchups that he can take 0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:57.480 advantage of. And so with a guy who's a former 0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:02.040 wide receiver, he feels like against speedy line backers, Perkins 0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:05.000 is probably better suited to probably break free from one 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.280 of those guys. So believe me, I had to look 0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.520 up the glossary and find out who Joshua Perkins was myself. 0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:14.239 But I don't know if Dallas Goddard could have did 0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:17.600 any better than four catches for fifty seven yards to day. So, 0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:20.000 you know, I thought Perkins did a great job of 0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:25.160 coming in, filling in in a tough situation on the road. 0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:28.880 Didn't really have any any missus out there, maybe one, 0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:31.280 So I don't think that was the issue at all. 0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:33.360 I thought Doug hit it right on the head when 0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:36.080 he said shot themselves in the foot in the first half. 0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:38.680 That's basically what the board down to, too many self 0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:44.720 inflicted wounds. Telling about penalties, that stall drives. Even to 0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.200 Mike Wallace played where he made a nice move to 0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:50.120 get himself down the field, not only does he injured, 0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:52.280 he doesn't get injured. It's a penalty on the place 0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:55.760 it brings it back. So to me, that's what the 0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:59.080 first half boiled down to, just too many self inflicted 0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:02.800 wounds to where you couldn't overcome them. In the first half. Defense, 0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:06.280 I thought settled down in between that first play that 0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:10.240 Deshaun has scored on, the two explosive plays, the two 0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:13.360 explosive plays basically, and I thought they had settled down 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.120 the second half. To me, it was a completely different 0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:18.600 second half. I thought the Eagles outplayed the Bucks in 0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:20.960 the second half, and the Bucks were really trying to 0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:24.080 hold on to win that game, you know. So that's 0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:27.600 something that this team will learn from. That's not an 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:29.400 easy place to go down there and play when you 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:33.560 look at the conditions, the weather being down there, going 0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:35.160 up against a hot team. And here's the other thing 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:38.080 I tried to preach all week, Chris on my show, 0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:43.760 The Eagles are circled on everyone's calendar. Of course, that's 0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:47.120 on the schedule. You're the defending champions, and when you 0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:50.440 come to town, you're gonna get the best shot from everyone. 0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.760 You just start and when it doesn't look like you're 0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:56.880 at full strength, that gives the other team that much 0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:59.440 more confidence. So you know you're not gonna be able 0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:03.520 to sneak up up on anybody. And this team needs 0:32:03.560 --> 0:32:07.160 to get with the mindset that every time, especially when 0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:09.200 they go on the road. It's one thing at home 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:12.120 because you have you have you have the energy of 0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:14.400 the crowd to sort of feed off of them. When 0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:15.800 you're on the road, you got to come in and 0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.280 ready to play from the opening kickoff, and you're not 0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:20.880 helping yourself by giving up that first play touchdown too. 0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:23.240 That's the biggest thing is you figure, if you could 0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:25.640 go out there get that early score, kind of take 0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:27.280 the win out of their sales, so to speak, down 0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:29.920 there at Raymond James Stadium, you would feel good about yourself. 0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:31.960 But even still, they got to a point there in 0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:34.400 the first half after they climate touchdown where you said, 0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:36.200 all right, if they can at least keep it close 0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:38.800 for halftime, they got the ball to start the second half. 0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:40.640 They hadn't write where they wanted them. Then they gave 0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:43.000 up the explosive play touchdown to O. J. Howard. They 0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:45.000 gave up the drive, the quick drive that ended with 0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.320 the guy one touchdown and a missfield going there and 0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:49.440 a missfield goal in there exactly. You thought you could 0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:51.520 get that going to halftime. That's where you just said 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.600 to yourself, maybe it's not gonna be, are they? But 0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:55.840 they battled back at the end, you know that game 0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:58.600 at twenty seven to seven, that easily could have been. Look, 0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:02.200 we've lost the thought they lost a number key guys already. 0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:04.480 Let's make sure that we can get things to get 0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:06.320 the guys back on the bus healthy and get them 0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:09.720 back to Philly in one piece. So now on top 0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:12.080 of the game, as always, the Hall of Fame duo 0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.760 of Merrill Reese and Mike Quick. Thanks to Sports Radio 0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:17.480 ninety four WIP, we bring you the highlights from the 0:33:17.520 --> 0:36:02.319 game courtesy of Merrill Camp. Ye No. No. Nine, I 0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:04.439 thought it was one hundred degrees down there on Tampa 0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:07.319 Bay today. Those two look calm, cool and collected. Even 0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.560 Mike addressing the Meryl Camp during my broadcast. So he's 0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:13.520 savvy enough, he knows what's going on. So we're waiting 0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:16.000 here from quarterback Nick Foles in just a little bit. 0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.160 But to the point you made before about how every 0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:20.759 team has circled the Eagles on the calendar. To me, 0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:23.800 how it works in the Eagle's favor is when a 0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:26.480 team like Tampa that's trying to find itself gets to 0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:28.480 head big in the second half like they did twenty 0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:30.640 seven to seven, they have to start thinking or the 0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:32.719 Eagle's going to come back. And that's the thing. And 0:36:32.760 --> 0:36:35.239 after seeing what the Eagles pulled off last season, the 0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:38.360 Eagles have that intensity, They have that mentality to be 0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:40.839 able to fight back and come from behind. And when 0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:42.399 he started getting close, when he got to the twenty 0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:45.000 seven twenty one, the Bucks probably had to wonder, oh, 0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:47.600 is this going to be a bad situation for us? 0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:50.399 So that at least can help the Eagles moving forward 0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:53.120 having that mentality of knowing that, look, you can get 0:36:53.160 --> 0:36:54.440 up on us, but we're going to find a way 0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:57.320 to fight back, especially as guys are going to continue 0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:59.480 to come back to the offense later on as the 0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:02.640 season for aggresses. Whether we see Carson Wentz next week 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:05.480 against Indianapolis or not. You know, whether it's Alison Jeffrey 0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:07.719 backing lone, these guys are gonna get healthy. And not 0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.520 that injuries are excuse anymore, because it certainly wasn't for 0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.359 the Eagles last season. You've got to go out there 0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:15.680 with who you have and win with that team. But nonetheless, 0:37:15.719 --> 0:37:18.800 though still they have the air about themselves that because 0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:20.840 they are the defending champs, they are going to be 0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:23.040 a tough out no matter how biggerly do you have 0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:24.800 on them at any point in the game. Yeah, And 0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:26.840 the one thing that the Eagles have going in their favor, 0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:29.200 and this is really what almost cost the Bucks today. 0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:32.080 You can't run on this Eagles defense. I mean forty 0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:35.319 eight yards rushing for the Buccaneers the day. They would 0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:37.640 have loved to be able to run the clock down 0:37:37.960 --> 0:37:40.160 on Eagles, but they couldn't run the ball on the Eagles. 0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:42.719 The Eagles defensively did. They did what they wanted to 0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:46.560 do as far as making tample one dimensional. The only 0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:49.640 problem is that one dimension is really what hurt them today, 0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:51.880 which is depending the past, and we're gonna have to 0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:55.600 shore some things up in that secondary. We certainly have 0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:59.040 enough talent there and the secondary. But we got to 0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:01.920 figure out a way to challenge these wide receivers. You know, 0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:04.600 next week you're gonna have t Y Hilton coming in here. 0:38:04.719 --> 0:38:07.319 Next week, you got Eric Ebron at tight end, who's 0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:09.879 like another big wide receiver you're gonna have to face 0:38:10.040 --> 0:38:13.320 next week along with Andrew lux. So the team's realized 0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:15.719 that you aren't gonna let them run the football. They're 0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:17.719 gonna just chuck it. They're gonna just keep putting it 0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:19.799 up on you. And so we have to figure out 0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:23.399 a way to become better at defending the pass and 0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:26.600 not relying so much on our pass rush to get 0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:29.000 to the quarterback. We got to challenge these receivers at 0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:31.719 the line of scrimmage. We gotta challenge these tight ends 0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:35.239 at the line of scrimmage bat balls away pretty much 0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:37.640 like they did last week when they needed to rose 0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:40.320 to the occasion against the Atlanta Falcons. That's what this 0:38:40.440 --> 0:38:43.520 secondary is gonna have to do. It really handcuffs Jim 0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:47.040 Schwartz when he's had when he has to call defenses 0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:50.840 where your your corners are playing off and you're giving 0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:56.440 guys a ten yard cushion and you're not going to 0:38:56.920 --> 0:38:59.840 offensive coordinators are too good in this league for you 0:38:59.880 --> 0:39:03.319 to survived that way. I mean, for Ryan Fitzpatrick to 0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:07.400 be able to throw for four hundred yards today against 0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:10.920 this Eagles defense, that shouldn't happen. And I know the 0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:13.719 Saints defense isn't as good as the Eagles defense, but 0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:16.239 this is a pretty good Eagles defense. And to have 0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:19.680 Ryan Fitzpatrick have the plays that he had today, and 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:21.359 I don't even know if he did so much to 0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:23.680 earn him other than you know, the two plays they 0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:26.040 got in there was one hundred. He put it there 0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:28.680 and his guys did the rest of the work. But 0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:32.840 you know, Jim Schwartz is gonna be said to himself, Hey, look, 0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:36.840 especially on the Oj Howard touchdown, I called the right defense. 0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.040 We gotta come up and make the tackle. Yeah, you know, 0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:40.880 it's one thing to give up a ten yard fifteen 0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:44.399 yard pass and play. Okay, they get paid as well. 0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:47.080 You make the tackle and you live to fight another day. 0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:49.439 But you can't let a ten yard pass turn into 0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:52.000 a seventy five yard touchdown. The first player of the 0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:55.000 game hats So I can't think of the other offensive 0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:59.239 coordinator for the Yeah, Todd Marker, great play call. From 0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:01.799 the you know, for him player, the game hads off 0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:04.280 to him. But the rest of the game, I thought 0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:07.640 we did more of helping that Bucks offense than the 0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:11.080 Bucks offense out executing us on defense. The first play 0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:12.600 in the game, I'll give him credit. It was just 0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:15.719 reminiscent of twenty and ten Monday night in Washington. And 0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.200 that's what d Jack does. Yes, Yeah, that's what Jack. 0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:20.120 You know that going into it, it's like I can 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.120 tell you what you're gonna do, but he still is 0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:26.120 able to do it anyway, and he does. He does 0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:28.320 rides to the occasion against the Eagles and had everyone 0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:30.880 amped up for that part of it. Love to see 0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:33.440 Jail Mills bounce back because over the summer and in 0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:36.640 the preseason I thought he was fantastic, you know, the 0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:39.360 ability to read and react to what the opposing receivers 0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:42.000 would do, you know, the competiveness that he brings out 0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:44.319 to the field. It just hasn't come through in these 0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:46.399 first two games. Now, of course, you're lining up mainly 0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.800 against Julio Jones and DeShawn Jackson, and that's gonna happen. 0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:52.239 But as you mentioned, each and every week, there's gonna 0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:54.919 be a big playmaker to account for. And you can't 0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.880 get into a situation where they're just gonna move t 0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:01.399 Y Hilton over to Mills's side and then match them 0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:03.160 up all time and say, you know, Ron Darby is 0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:05.400 bettering coverage, we'll just keep it away from him and 0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:07.600 then go over with that matchup against Mills. Mills has 0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:09.400 to find a way to shore it up, and I 0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:11.759 think he has the confidence and the ability to do so. 0:41:12.000 --> 0:41:14.520 But they're gonna to figure a way to mask that. 0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:19.520 Moving forward. Yeah, I tell you, listen, I love Jalen Mills, 0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:23.040 and he certainly as a key part to our success. 0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:26.880 He was last year. He will be moving forward and 0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:29.400 far beard from me to try to be a coach 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:33.040 and start moving guys around making personnel decisions. But you 0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:35.319 gotta think about Sidney Jones on the outside. I mean, 0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:39.040 Sidney Jones is just he's faster. He's a much better 0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:42.000 athlete than Jalen Mills. I mean, Sidney Jones is a 0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:45.080 top ten pick if he's not injured going into the 0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:47.520 draft last year. And it's a reason for that because 0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:50.799 he has all the requisite skills you need to be 0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:53.400 a number one corner in this league. You gotta have speed. 0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:57.400 You gotta have recovery speed. You gotta have athleticism. Most importantly, 0:41:57.440 --> 0:41:59.560 you gotta have confidence that you can go up to 0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:01.759 the line of scrimmage and challenge guys in a bump 0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:04.120 and run situation, and if they beat you off the 0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:06.880 line of scrimmage, you have to have the ability to recover. 0:42:07.239 --> 0:42:09.960 And so you know, I don't expect it to happen 0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:13.160 as recent as next week, but I mean, you're talking 0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:15.560 two weeks in a row where you got a corner 0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:19.480 who isn't necessarily challenging the receivers at the line of 0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:22.160 scrimmage and more or less playing off and then hoping 0:42:22.200 --> 0:42:24.840 to come up and make the tackle. And what happens 0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:28.120 is is that when Jalen sees that slant come, he 0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:30.200 so desperately wants to come up and make the tackle. 0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:32.840 Now they're hit him with a double move. So you know, 0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:35.920 and I think, right now, and this is surprising to 0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:39.040 say about a guy like Jalen Mills, his confidence may 0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:41.040 be lacking a little bit. Right now. You're talking about 0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:44.360 back to back weeks where you're caught out there on 0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:46.759 the island and a touchdown is given up. Now, you 0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:48.560 gotta have a short memory in this league as a 0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:51.680 corner in order to be successful because the other guys 0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:54.080 get paid as well, and they're gonna make plays. But 0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:57.120 I just don't see the meals that I saw in 0:42:57.160 --> 0:42:59.680 the middle of last year when I was touting him 0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:02.319 to be a Pro Bowl corner. When you looked at 0:43:02.320 --> 0:43:05.640 weeks four through weeks eight last year, when he was 0:43:05.719 --> 0:43:08.680 just all over everybody that he had to come up against. 0:43:08.880 --> 0:43:11.000 He needs to get back to playing with that confidence, 0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:14.160 playing with that swagger. He's playing on his heels too much, 0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:19.120 and he's he's allowing the offense to dictate how he 0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:22.360 plays as opposed to saying I'm gonna come up and 0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:24.440 I'm gonna take away one thing. You may beat me 0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:26.319 with something else, but you're not beating me with this 0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:30.279 right now. He's allowing a two way goal for these guys, 0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:33.920 and it was difficult to win that way, especially when 0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:38.200 you don't have the necessarily athletic ability to recover. That's 0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:40.640 the one thing that Ron Darby has in his favor 0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:43.840 is that he has the speed to recover if he 0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:45.799 misses you at the line of scrimmage with the jam 0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:48.080 or if you happen to get him on a double move, 0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:50.399 he's gonna be faster than a lot of receivers. He's 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:53.960 faster or as fast as Julio, faster than Mike Evans. 0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:56.160 So even if those guys beat him on a double move, 0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:58.840 he has the ability to catch up. And that's something 0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:02.160 that Jalen just physically lax. But he's always been able 0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:05.240 to make up for that with his toughness, with his smarts, 0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:08.759 his intelligence, his ability to understand what routes are going 0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:12.080 to come against. Yeah, football, IQ was there, and that's 0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:13.880 what it will allow you to play in this league 0:44:13.880 --> 0:44:16.400 for a long time. Just right now, he needs to 0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:19.319 get back to having that swagger and that confidence that 0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:22.200 he played with last year. I know we're not accustomed 0:44:22.239 --> 0:44:24.560 to doing these postgame shows like this coming off a loss, 0:44:24.560 --> 0:44:27.520 but you think go back to last season. Look Week two. 0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:31.080 It was in Kansas City, another red theme stadium. The 0:44:31.080 --> 0:44:33.600 Eels went out up against a high octane offense in 0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:35.920 Kansas City which was flying at the time with Kareem 0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:38.520 Hunt and Alex Smith as a trigger man, and Tyreek 0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:41.919 Hill and all them, and Travis Kelsey of course forgive 0:44:41.960 --> 0:44:44.879 about him as well. So certainly it happened last year 0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:46.839 and the Eels were able to bounce back and they 0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:49.759 had that amazing win against the New York Giants which 0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.400 kind of catapulted this season from there. They're gonna need 0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:55.120 to find that magic again as the Indianapolis Cults will 0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:58.920 come to town. Indianapolis beating Washington, so you know, hurting 0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:02.440 division rival huge. It's a huge win for them because 0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:04.600 the Colts are trying to find them find themselves as 0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:07.000 Frank Reich has taken over as the head coach, Andrew 0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:09.120 luck Is back in the saddle. They're they're trying to 0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:11.440 get their identity on both sides of the ball really 0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:13.440 and trying to figure out what kind of team they have. 0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:16.480 They're kind of in that twenty sixteen Eagles mode when 0:45:16.480 --> 0:45:19.000 Doug Peterson took over. So the Colts don't mind if 0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:21.600 they can upset a team here or there along the way. 0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:24.440 So they're coming in with big expectations. You know, Frank 0:45:24.480 --> 0:45:26.839 Reich is gonna want to upset the Eagles coming back 0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:29.360 to the house here. So that knows the personnel and 0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.959 he knows the exact personnel on both sides of the ball. 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:35.080 He knows the personnelity. Yes, smart coordinator knows he's gonna 0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:36.520 come up with a good game plan, and he's going 0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:38.759 to see this tape and say, if the defense is 0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:41.200 going to continue to do this, I'm going to utilize 0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:43.399 my weapons in the same way. And look, the Colts 0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:45.640 don't have much of a running game themselves. They're gonna 0:45:45.640 --> 0:45:47.920 be fine with Andrew Luck chucking the ball all over 0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:50.120 the field if they have to, if that's what's going 0:45:50.160 --> 0:45:52.200 to take to win the football game. So the Eagles 0:45:52.200 --> 0:45:54.080 are gonna have to get things short up on the 0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:56.520 defensive side of the ball because the front is there. 0:45:56.800 --> 0:45:59.000 I love the front, I love the rotation. I love 0:45:59.040 --> 0:46:01.000 what the new guys have brought to the table. You know, 0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:03.440 I was really excited when Michael Bennett made a big 0:46:03.440 --> 0:46:05.360 play there in the second half during the comeback, because 0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:07.960 you're looking, You're looking to see who's going to continue 0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:10.720 to set the tone, who's gonna continue to fight, who's 0:46:10.760 --> 0:46:13.440 not gonna give up, because that championship mental is going 0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:16.279 to be when the times get tough, when you're facing adversity. 0:46:16.280 --> 0:46:18.440 For the first time, this team has not faced a 0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:21.880 love of adversity. They've overcome injuries, but the thing is 0:46:22.040 --> 0:46:23.480 they have not had to deal with a lot of 0:46:23.600 --> 0:46:25.680 losses on the football field and how to bounce back 0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:27.640 from that. Now that these guys and some of these 0:46:27.640 --> 0:46:30.080 are new guys, Okay, everyone's gonna say, well, we have 0:46:30.120 --> 0:46:32.560 the culture in place, but the culture is all about 0:46:32.560 --> 0:46:35.280 the guys who are there presently, and if you're adding 0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:38.040 new people to the mix, it's gonna change up the chemistry. 0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:40.640 No matter what. You're gonna have your leaders, you're gonna 0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:43.000 have your core guys, but those new guys need to 0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:44.960 step up to the table. They need to come through 0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:47.360 in a big way. And that's what's happening. You're seeing 0:46:47.400 --> 0:46:50.120 guys who are coming in and making big plays like that. 0:46:50.200 --> 0:46:52.560 So seeing Michael Bennett do that in a second half 0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:55.160 was very encouraging to see seeing that the team as 0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:57.400 a whole fight and making sure that they're gonna be 0:46:57.480 --> 0:46:59.520 down twenty seven to seven, but they're gonna make this 0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:02.160 a ball game. Okay, they may not come back and win, 0:47:02.200 --> 0:47:04.919 and they fell six points short today losing twenty seven 0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:06.799 to twenty one, but they're gonna come back and give 0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:09.040 the Bucks everything they have and say, you're gonna need 0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:12.239 a fight until all sixty minutes to make sure you 0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:14.200 win this ball game. Okay, you're not gonna be able 0:47:14.200 --> 0:47:16.360 to walk out of here and have your fans chanting 0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:18.440 and laughing and at the Eagles as they're going off 0:47:18.440 --> 0:47:20.400 the field losing by twenty points. At the end of 0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.880 the game, you're gonna sweat it out and say to yourselves, 0:47:23.000 --> 0:47:25.279 all right, you gotta quality win, but we made you 0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:27.440 earn it for all sixty minutes. You have to know 0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:29.400 that when you're playing the Eagles that that's going to 0:47:29.520 --> 0:47:31.720 be the case. And that's good to see because again, 0:47:31.960 --> 0:47:34.279 this team has not had to overcome certain types of 0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:37.000 adversity a lot in the last year. Again, they lost 0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:40.480 Week two, okay to the Chiefs last year. Then they 0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:43.960 lose again until early December in Seattle, and then they 0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:46.200 had then they had to flip things right away because 0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:47.920 they had to go to la with a chance to 0:47:47.960 --> 0:47:50.959 clinch the division and possibly everything go into a free 0:47:50.960 --> 0:47:53.120 fall if they don't win that game from a home 0:47:53.160 --> 0:47:55.839 field advanced standpoint, and then they lose cars and win. 0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:58.319 So you kind of are galvanizing behind Nick Foles to 0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:00.480 see what he can do, and you carry yourself just 0:48:00.640 --> 0:48:02.880 enough to get home field advantage and you run that 0:48:02.880 --> 0:48:05.480 into the playoffs. Sure, you lose that regular season finale 0:48:05.560 --> 0:48:07.600 to Dallas, but you had you know, Nate Subfeld and 0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.680 primarily the backups finishing of that game. You don't count 0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:12.920 that game. So again, so from a losing standpoint, this 0:48:13.000 --> 0:48:15.360 is a team that's lost Week two of last season 0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:19.040 and early December, that's it. So that's something that this 0:48:19.080 --> 0:48:21.399 team doesn't want to get accustomed to. But you need 0:48:21.440 --> 0:48:23.319 to find out how the guys are going to react 0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:25.799 when that happens. Are the guys going to all be 0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:28.399 back here in the building first thing Monday, going over 0:48:28.440 --> 0:48:31.560 the tape and being energized and coming into work like 0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:34.560 you would after a victory. After a victory, everyone's bouncing 0:48:34.560 --> 0:48:37.120 around the building. Everyone's you know, walking on a cloud nine. 0:48:37.160 --> 0:48:39.560 Everyone's excited. You're putting in the extra work. Are you 0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:42.520 gonna do that after a loss? What was very encouraging 0:48:42.760 --> 0:48:45.120 going back to last week after the win over Atlanta. 0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:48.600 Zach Ertz, who's tried and tested and you know comes 0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:50.759 through in the clutter teams like every single week for 0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:53.760 this football team, has some uncharacteristic drops for the Eagles, 0:48:53.760 --> 0:48:55.840 and that win over Atlanta, he got himself on that 0:48:55.880 --> 0:48:58.080 jugs machine as soon as he could to make sure 0:48:58.080 --> 0:49:01.120 that didn't happen again, and he had eleven catches to 0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:03.919 the ike. Okay, he actually set a franchise record for 0:49:03.960 --> 0:49:07.319 the most games with double digit receptions. It was his 0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:10.640 sixth career outing with such an effort. So thirteen targets, 0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:13.440 eleven receptions for him ninety four yards. You know, he 0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:16.120 was a safety valve for that offense, coming through some 0:49:16.200 --> 0:49:18.600 big catches, those ones that you're used to seeing him 0:49:18.600 --> 0:49:21.720 make time and time again, being that that best friend 0:49:21.840 --> 0:49:23.960 for a quarterback over the middle of the field, and 0:49:24.000 --> 0:49:25.680 even providing the big plays. I mean, he had the 0:49:25.719 --> 0:49:28.320 one big play down the sideline to ignite the offense 0:49:28.400 --> 0:49:30.719 there so late in the first half. I believe it 0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:33.560 was so overall he saw zach ertztep up to the plate. 0:49:33.600 --> 0:49:36.120 But you just need that who's that other playmaker gonna 0:49:36.160 --> 0:49:38.560 be in this offense? I tell the other thing I 0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:41.960 take away from from this game, and really early in 0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:44.880 the season, this loss does not concern me. Bill Belichick 0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:48.280 said something a couple of years ago when talking about 0:49:48.320 --> 0:49:50.680 his team, and they had gotten off to a little 0:49:50.719 --> 0:49:52.080 bit of a struggle. It may have been last year 0:49:52.080 --> 0:49:53.600 when they got off to a two and two start 0:49:54.600 --> 0:49:56.920 and only lost one more game the rest of the way. 0:49:57.200 --> 0:50:01.759 He said, there there's no team who has established their 0:50:01.800 --> 0:50:05.520 identity the first four weeks of the season. These coaches, 0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:08.960 they rarely played their first teamers in the preseason, So 0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:11.880 really the first month of the season is an extended 0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:15.560 preseason because these guys are just getting used to playing 0:50:15.960 --> 0:50:19.399 a full game, being out there for sixty sixty five 0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:22.160 players on either side of the ball. It's the first 0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:23.960 time for them. So and when you look at a 0:50:24.000 --> 0:50:28.160 team like the Eagles, who had turnover in the off season, 0:50:28.160 --> 0:50:30.880 when you look at personnel, they're still trying to form 0:50:30.920 --> 0:50:35.919 their identity. And you know, smack in training camp, Doug 0:50:35.960 --> 0:50:38.120 didn't have these guys at his disposal. There were certain 0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:40.560 guys that were missing practice because they were banged up 0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:44.600 for whatever reason. And they are still trying to put 0:50:44.880 --> 0:50:48.200 put together an identity for this team. And so if 0:50:48.239 --> 0:50:50.879 it may take, it may take another game or two. 0:50:51.000 --> 0:50:54.239 You hope you pull out wins despite that. But as 0:50:54.280 --> 0:50:57.200 far as playing a flawless game, as far as playing 0:50:57.200 --> 0:51:00.440 a clean game, as far as as a staff blishing 0:51:00.760 --> 0:51:02.520 who you are and what you're going to be for 0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:04.840 this season, last year was last year you're not the 0:51:04.880 --> 0:51:06.640 same team as you were last year. This is a 0:51:06.680 --> 0:51:10.279 new team. The identity for this team hasn't been established. 0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:13.160 Yes yet they're one in one through the first two weeks. 0:51:13.360 --> 0:51:15.279 You play at home next week. Take care of your 0:51:15.280 --> 0:51:17.560 business at home before you go on the road to 0:51:17.640 --> 0:51:20.480 Tennessee in two weeks. What you can't do is give 0:51:20.520 --> 0:51:22.920 away games. You can't dig yourself in a hole early 0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:25.880 in the season. So whereas when you do find your identity, 0:51:26.120 --> 0:51:28.160 it's too late. So you gotta be able to put 0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:30.040 some wins together. That's the thing they were able to 0:51:30.040 --> 0:51:32.560 do last year. You talk about the loss after the 0:51:32.640 --> 0:51:35.400 Kansas City game, or we almost gave away the Giants 0:51:35.440 --> 0:51:38.000 game the following week, and if Jake Elliott doesn't hit 0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:41.120 the sixty one yard field goal, we're headed. We're headed 0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:43.239 to overtime, and who knows what happens, And it seems 0:51:43.239 --> 0:51:44.680 it could be a different stories. So let's hear from 0:51:44.680 --> 0:52:00.279 the quarterback. Now, Nick Foles done in Tampa questions? Yeah, mean, 0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:01.520 I think the big thing is, you know, we can't 0:52:01.560 --> 0:52:04.040 show ourselves in the footwell penalties. Um, but you know, 0:52:04.120 --> 0:52:06.160 looking back, you know, obviously we'll we'll look at the 0:52:06.160 --> 0:52:08.320 film and grow. But I think the thing that I 0:52:08.440 --> 0:52:10.080 take from this game is, you know how hard our 0:52:10.080 --> 0:52:13.160 team fought. I mean, Tampa Bay put a tremendous game. Um, 0:52:13.160 --> 0:52:15.799 they fought obviously extremely hard as well. But you know, 0:52:15.840 --> 0:52:18.560 there's a lot of adversity in this game. This NFL 0:52:18.640 --> 0:52:20.879 is tough. Playing football is a it's not an easy game. 0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:23.520 But I was really proud of my teammates and the coaches, 0:52:23.920 --> 0:52:27.440 UM for fighting you know, throughout all the adversity. UM, 0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:30.799 even the mistakes we didn't make. UM, we never once 0:52:30.880 --> 0:52:33.239 turned on one another another. We never put our heads down. 0:52:33.320 --> 0:52:35.320 We kept our heads up. We kept fighting. UM, we 0:52:35.400 --> 0:52:37.640 kept looking at the pictures trying to you know, fix 0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:39.720 what's going on. And you know, that's what we'll continue 0:52:39.719 --> 0:52:42.480 to do. UM, That's what this organization has done and 0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:59.279 we will keep going that. You guys out, Yeah, I 0:52:59.280 --> 0:53:01.440 mean you know that that adversity I talk about, UM 0:53:01.560 --> 0:53:04.240 is something that you know, you keep working. UM, guys 0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:06.920 step up all the time. And uh, you know that's 0:53:06.960 --> 0:53:09.080 what we did. We gave ourselves as a team an 0:53:09.080 --> 0:53:12.080 opportunity to win this game. And that's what you know, 0:53:12.120 --> 0:53:14.040 that's the only thing you can do in this league. Obviously, 0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:16.560 you know, we want everyone healthy, but you know that's 0:53:16.600 --> 0:53:19.520 not really the case. Sometimes this is a physical sport. 0:53:19.600 --> 0:53:21.680 Things happen. UM, So that's where the next guys that 0:53:21.800 --> 0:53:23.799 come in and do his job to the best of 0:53:24.280 --> 0:53:27.160 his ability. And I thought our guys stepped up today. 0:53:27.400 --> 0:53:29.160 We gave ourselves an opportunity to win. We have to 0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:32.440 clean up a lot of the penalties, UM and execution errors, 0:53:32.440 --> 0:53:38.080 but you know we will continue to do that, you know. 0:53:38.239 --> 0:53:39.719 I mean it's my job. You know, I've been there. 0:53:39.760 --> 0:53:41.400 You know, I've played this game a long time. I mean, 0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:43.480 you're not always going to have everyone healthy. That's just 0:53:43.560 --> 0:53:45.560 part of this game. So UM, you know, I don't 0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:47.399 really focus on that. I focus on you know, going 0:53:47.440 --> 0:53:49.360 out there, stepping in the huddle. Whoever's in that huddle, 0:53:49.360 --> 0:53:51.400 I trust them. You know, we got to get the 0:53:51.480 --> 0:53:53.640 job done. And you know, there's a lot of guys 0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:55.040 that were injured this game. There's a lot of guys 0:53:55.080 --> 0:53:56.799 that got banged up, but we kept fighting. And that's 0:53:56.800 --> 0:54:02.839 why I'm gonna focus on. I didn't get an explanation. UM. 0:54:02.920 --> 0:54:05.040 You know, they made the best decision. It's probably just 0:54:05.080 --> 0:54:07.719 not enough to overturn UM. You know, I felt, you know, 0:54:07.719 --> 0:54:09.400 when I was stowing in my arms going forward. But 0:54:09.480 --> 0:54:11.279 you know, watching on the screen, you know, right when 0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:13.280 my arms going forward, the ball starts, you know, comes 0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:15.800 out weird that happens when you're getting hit from behind. 0:54:15.880 --> 0:54:17.360 But at the end of the day, you know you 0:54:17.400 --> 0:54:19.600 have to keep moving forward. Um, they called the call, 0:54:19.719 --> 0:54:22.200 and you know that's it. You know, we keep moving forward, 0:54:22.280 --> 0:54:30.160 keep fighting the fourth and four, um like just in 0:54:31.680 --> 0:54:37.239 just in general or um yeah, no, yeah, I mean 0:54:37.280 --> 0:54:38.879 I think that at the end of the day, we've 0:54:38.880 --> 0:54:41.040 converted a lot of those. Um. You know, anytime Doug 0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:42.680 calls a play, you know, we want to go for it. 0:54:42.760 --> 0:54:44.840 We want to be aggressive. That's just the one you 0:54:44.880 --> 0:54:47.239 know that we weren't able to, you know, get the 0:54:47.239 --> 0:54:49.000 first down. We were probably a couple of inches short. 0:54:49.280 --> 0:54:50.680 And I have all the confidence in the world and 0:54:50.800 --> 0:54:53.120 zac that's why I went there. Um, we just missed 0:54:53.120 --> 0:54:55.000 that one. Um. You know, obviously that's a that's a 0:54:55.000 --> 0:54:56.520 big blow. But at the end of the day, like 0:54:56.760 --> 0:54:59.279 I don't second guess anything, you know, play comes in, 0:54:59.320 --> 0:55:01.600 We're gonna actually cute it. That one didn't work out, 0:55:01.640 --> 0:55:03.800 but you give me that play again. I'm going there again. 0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:05.880 You know, I have all the confidence and Zach, and 0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:08.239 we're gonna get those plays we have historically, and we're 0:55:08.239 --> 0:55:10.560 gonna continue to be aggressive. And you know, I'm gonna 0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:12.880 continue to trust my teammates and I always trust my coaches. 0:55:12.920 --> 0:55:17.680 And you know, it just didn't work out that time, Zach, 0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:21.480 I got more around to the right side. Did you 0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:25.360 happen to see that pictures after that series? And if so, 0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:29.719 what is the profession on that play? Yeah? Um, you 0:55:29.719 --> 0:55:31.160 know that's something I have to go look back. I 0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:32.680 mean that was that was a physical game. There's a 0:55:32.760 --> 0:55:35.040 lot going on. Um, It's hard to just pinpoint a play, 0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:37.600 but you know, I'll go back, I'll look at it 0:55:37.680 --> 0:55:44.279 and see what I see. Um, just in general, Yeah, 0:55:44.320 --> 0:55:47.200 I see like a lot of times you were looking 0:55:46.360 --> 0:55:50.920 at Um. I mean you're playing football. You know I 0:55:51.200 --> 0:55:53.160 was playing. I was. You know, I thought their defense 0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:55.720 did a really really good job of, you know, mixing 0:55:55.719 --> 0:55:58.239 things up, Um, you know, keeping us on our heels, 0:55:58.239 --> 0:56:00.879 showing us different things. And I thought, you know, at 0:56:00.880 --> 0:56:02.400 the end of the day, you're not always gonna go 0:56:02.400 --> 0:56:04.120 to your first guy. You gotta go through your progressions. 0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:06.000 There were times where I did have to go through 0:56:06.000 --> 0:56:10.040 my progressions, which I do um throughout each game, and UM, 0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:12.000 you know, but I felt good. I felt like, when 0:56:12.040 --> 0:56:13.520 you look back at this game, it's just about the 0:56:13.560 --> 0:56:16.520 fight and just continue to go through that adversity, through 0:56:16.680 --> 0:56:28.800 everything that's going on. Just continue to fight. No, I 0:56:28.800 --> 0:56:31.120 already knew that. He didn't even show me that. UM. 0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:34.160 I know that there's never a doubt in his toughness. UM. 0:56:34.160 --> 0:56:36.680 He just reiterates who he is. UM. You know, he's 0:56:36.719 --> 0:56:38.839 a guy that he's a tough player. He takes hits, 0:56:38.880 --> 0:56:41.600 he continues to go UM, and that's just who he is. 0:56:41.600 --> 0:56:55.880 So he didn't need to prove me anything. You know, 0:56:55.960 --> 0:56:58.560 whatever the organization the team asked for me, I'm gonna 0:56:58.560 --> 0:57:00.880 do um obviously, you know, step in the huddle and 0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:03.160 playing the game. You know something that you know I 0:57:03.280 --> 0:57:05.120 love and you know it's a it's a crazy sport. 0:57:05.280 --> 0:57:06.799 But at the end of the day, you know, I'm 0:57:06.800 --> 0:57:08.400 gonna focus right now and you know, cleaning out this 0:57:08.480 --> 0:57:11.439 Tampa Bay. Um. But you know, whatever the team asks 0:57:11.440 --> 0:57:13.200 for me anytime, I'm gonna be there and I'm want 0:57:13.200 --> 0:57:15.400 to help in any way possible. Who knows what will happen? 0:57:16.240 --> 0:57:26.000 You say, it's crazy. Um just from the game or 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:30.320 just like everything. You know, I'm really not focused on 0:57:30.320 --> 0:57:32.640 that right now. Um. You know that was a physical game. 0:57:32.760 --> 0:57:34.840 There was a lot. We gave everything we had, Tampa 0:57:34.840 --> 0:57:37.280 Bay gave everything they had. So I'm gonna focus on that. 0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:39.720 Living the moment um. You know, I'm grateful and blessed 0:57:39.720 --> 0:57:42.320 to have played this game for as long as I have. So, UM, 0:57:42.360 --> 0:57:44.680 you know, I'll go back on the bus, go home. Um, 0:57:44.760 --> 0:57:47.840 see my wife, see my daughter, see my dog. Focus 0:57:47.880 --> 0:57:49.600 on that. You know, that's something I gotta leave my 0:57:49.720 --> 0:57:51.200 I gotta make sure I say my dog. He gets 0:57:51.200 --> 0:57:53.480 angry when I don't mention them. Um. But you know 0:57:53.480 --> 0:57:55.680 that's where I focus on that. Keep going. Um. You know, 0:57:55.720 --> 0:57:57.360 whatever the team ask needs to me, I want to 0:57:57.400 --> 0:58:01.400 do and help in any way possible. A good job 0:58:02.200 --> 0:58:11.480 there any situations, no, no, I think that, you know, 0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:13.880 that's just the game. Um. You know I felt like 0:58:13.960 --> 0:58:15.800 you just have to you know, sometimes they were moving 0:58:15.840 --> 0:58:17.280 after the snap and I thought they did a good 0:58:17.360 --> 0:58:20.040 job and extempt their coverages. But um, at the end 0:58:20.080 --> 0:58:21.600 of the day, you know that's where we execute, and 0:58:21.760 --> 0:58:23.720 you know, we gave ourselves a chance to win the game. Um, 0:58:23.760 --> 0:58:25.960 the NFL is not easy. UM. You know our team, 0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.520 we were stuck together, and that's what I will focus on. 0:58:29.040 --> 0:58:30.720 You're not always you know, you want to win every 0:58:30.720 --> 0:58:32.920 single game. Um. You know, I look at this and 0:58:33.000 --> 0:58:35.360 guys gave everything they had this game. It just didn't 0:58:35.400 --> 0:58:37.320 turn out the way we wanted to. But you know, 0:58:37.360 --> 0:58:39.200 we will continue to build on this. We'll continue to 0:58:39.240 --> 0:58:41.400 lean on each other like we always have. Um, we 0:58:41.400 --> 0:58:43.280 didn't win every single game last year. I think people 0:58:43.320 --> 0:58:45.320 forget that. You know, there's a lot of expectations for us, 0:58:45.320 --> 0:58:47.920 and you know, we can't put that pressure on ourselves 0:58:47.960 --> 0:58:50.920 because we always talk about the family. Um, you know, 0:58:51.000 --> 0:58:53.120 the Philadelphiagos. It's a family, and we have to focus 0:58:53.160 --> 0:59:00.960 on that until health conversion. Um, you just you just 0:59:01.000 --> 0:59:03.000 have to keep going. I mean, they happen. I mean 0:59:03.000 --> 0:59:04.880 we had some big plays today. We had some things 0:59:04.920 --> 0:59:08.000 downfield and they weren't necessarily how you drew draw them up. 0:59:08.200 --> 0:59:10.600 And that's the game of football. Um, you can't force 0:59:10.680 --> 0:59:15.080 the big place. Um, you just have to continue to play. 0:59:15.720 --> 0:59:19.760 Do you remember the last year? You want to and 0:59:20.280 --> 0:59:23.360 then you guys, really, what do you remember about about 0:59:23.440 --> 0:59:28.760 what that is? Like? I think anytime you lose. It's 0:59:28.800 --> 0:59:31.280 not easy, um, because you give everything you have, but 0:59:31.400 --> 0:59:35.240 it's just you know, keeping a positive mindset, um, sticking together, 0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:38.360 getting ready to you know, go out there. You know 0:59:38.400 --> 0:59:40.360 the next day we're out there at practice or whatever 0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:43.360 meetings and being you know critical on you know when 0:59:43.360 --> 0:59:45.360 we watch this film, being critical of ourselves, but not 0:59:45.400 --> 0:59:48.360 to the point where you like start you know, worrying 0:59:48.480 --> 0:59:51.320 in a sense like you need to learn and then 0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:53.440 go out there on the price field and just focus 0:59:53.520 --> 0:59:56.720 on the practice and keep going and improving on you 0:59:56.720 --> 0:59:58.640 know what we saw from this week. You know we 0:59:58.680 --> 1:00:00.680 need to improve on those things. I think the big 1:00:00.680 --> 1:00:02.080 thing going in this next week is, you know, we 1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:05.320 can't have these penalties. You know, I think getting behind 1:00:05.360 --> 1:00:08.360 the chains. That's not something that we have done. And 1:00:08.480 --> 1:00:10.360 we put ourselves in a bad position earlier in the game. 1:00:10.400 --> 1:00:12.240 So clean that up. That's something that we'll focus on. 1:00:12.320 --> 1:00:14.080 But you know, that's what we do, That's what we 1:00:14.120 --> 1:00:16.120 did last year. That's who we are. Um. You know, 1:00:16.240 --> 1:00:18.640 our coaches are gonna you know, coach us, We're gonna 1:00:18.640 --> 1:00:28.040 go out there and play well. Um, you know I 1:00:28.120 --> 1:00:31.680 can't really you know, I wish the one to Zach 1:00:31.720 --> 1:00:33.280 in the red zone. You know, it is like six 1:00:33.320 --> 1:00:34.960 inches shorter. But at the end of the day, we 1:00:35.000 --> 1:00:37.800 scored um a couple of plays later. So um, I 1:00:37.840 --> 1:00:39.560 look back. You can never you know, you can never 1:00:39.600 --> 1:00:41.600 second guess yourself in this game. It's not you know, 1:00:41.640 --> 1:00:42.640 you have to go out there and you have to 1:00:42.680 --> 1:00:44.880 give everything you have, um, and you have to lean 1:00:44.920 --> 1:00:46.560 on each other. And you know, I felt like we 1:00:46.600 --> 1:00:48.640 did that today. I sound like a broken record because 1:00:48.640 --> 1:00:50.160 I go back to that, but that's the only way 1:00:50.160 --> 1:00:52.480 I know how to play this game. So um, we'll 1:00:52.520 --> 1:00:54.439 go back. We're gonna look at this film. We're gonna improve, 1:00:54.480 --> 1:00:55.680 and we're gonna do what we do. We're gonna go 1:00:55.720 --> 1:00:57.400 out there and have fun and play, play with a 1:00:57.440 --> 1:01:03.640 lot of energy. So thank y'all. All right, there's Nick 1:01:03.640 --> 1:01:07.480 Fole speaking to reporters at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Look, 1:01:07.600 --> 1:01:09.720 he threw for three hundred and thirty four yards and 1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:13.280 a touchdown, Okay, I mean he did everything he could 1:01:13.800 --> 1:01:16.720 to bring the Eagles within a victory six point short. 1:01:16.760 --> 1:01:19.200 I mean he did his part. Everyone's probably thinking if 1:01:19.200 --> 1:01:22.120 Carson Wentz is in there, it's magically different. You know, 1:01:22.400 --> 1:01:24.600 you have to give Carson some time because we don't 1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:25.920 know what he's going to be able to do right 1:01:25.960 --> 1:01:28.040 off the jump. So we'll talk about that in a 1:01:28.040 --> 1:01:31.040 little bit. But first, Doug Peterson are one on one 1:01:31.120 --> 1:01:34.600 interview conducted by Hall of Fame wide receiver Mike Quick 1:01:34.600 --> 1:01:36.800 after they wrapped up the press conference a short time ago. 1:01:37.160 --> 1:01:41.400 Let's hear what the coach had to say in this interview. Coach, 1:01:41.440 --> 1:01:43.320 one are the things that I learned long time ago 1:01:43.480 --> 1:01:46.320 is respect your opponents. And with that in mind, talk 1:01:46.360 --> 1:01:49.120 a little bit about this Tampa Bay team and what 1:01:49.240 --> 1:01:52.000 they possessed. Well, I'll tell you. I mean we saw 1:01:52.000 --> 1:01:54.320 it and we point against New Orleans the firepower that 1:01:54.360 --> 1:01:57.320 they had on offense obviously, and then defensively, the type 1:01:57.320 --> 1:01:59.200 of personnel that they have. They had a really good front. 1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:02.920 It's aggressive group. They're a downhill, fast flowing defense. A 1:02:02.920 --> 1:02:04.720 little nicked up in the back end, but you know what, 1:02:04.760 --> 1:02:06.960 they put pressure on the quarterback and that's what they 1:02:07.080 --> 1:02:09.439 that's what they pride themselves on. And you know, it's 1:02:09.440 --> 1:02:13.200 something that I try to talk to our team a 1:02:13.240 --> 1:02:16.040 lot about, is you know, we're gonna get everybody's best 1:02:16.080 --> 1:02:18.720 every single week. Yep, it doesn't matter. I don't, It 1:02:18.720 --> 1:02:20.800 doesn't matter this. First of all, this is the National 1:02:20.840 --> 1:02:24.200 Football League, and everybody plays hard every week. But when 1:02:24.240 --> 1:02:27.280 you're the team that everybody's looking at, we need to 1:02:27.280 --> 1:02:29.720 play like it. And and I felt like today we 1:02:29.800 --> 1:02:32.640 did too many things that that allowed us not to 1:02:32.720 --> 1:02:34.680 play the type of football that we used to play. 1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:37.040 You mentioned them being nicked up, your team a little 1:02:37.040 --> 1:02:39.000 bit nicked up too. Now, how did that affect you? 1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:43.120 And adjusting for Jason Peters, for Mike Wallace and all 1:02:43.160 --> 1:02:45.560 the injuries that you had. Yeah, it started with JP, 1:02:45.840 --> 1:02:47.240 you know, early in the football game. And then of 1:02:47.320 --> 1:02:48.920 course you know you're you're down now to you know, 1:02:49.040 --> 1:02:51.000 you know, Big v who which is which is great? 1:02:51.000 --> 1:02:53.800 We don't, We don't lose anything with that with that transition. 1:02:53.840 --> 1:02:55.880 But Mike Wallace went down early in the game. And 1:02:56.080 --> 1:02:58.200 now it really began to shuffle because we were down 1:02:58.240 --> 1:03:01.120 already with al Sean being out and and Sprowles being 1:03:01.160 --> 1:03:04.760 out and you know, some we had to really shuffle 1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:06.760 some things around, but try to keep it as consistent 1:03:06.840 --> 1:03:08.720 we can. We got some young receivers that are playing, 1:03:09.680 --> 1:03:12.440 and so we offensively wanted to make sure that they 1:03:12.480 --> 1:03:15.400 stayed in their their right positions, and just we shuffled 1:03:15.400 --> 1:03:17.760 the tight ends just a little bit. Talking about the 1:03:17.920 --> 1:03:20.800 young guys, Josh Perkins, he came up pretty big, has 1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:23.480 some big catches, especially down the stretch. Talk about it 1:03:23.720 --> 1:03:26.080 and his contribution a little bit. Yeah, I think we're 1:03:26.080 --> 1:03:28.080 blessed with three really good tight ends, quite honestly. And 1:03:28.360 --> 1:03:31.120 Zach and Dallas and Josh. And Josh is a player that, 1:03:31.400 --> 1:03:33.120 like Dallas, we want to get into mix. We want 1:03:33.120 --> 1:03:34.720 to get in the game and get them into the flow. 1:03:34.760 --> 1:03:37.560 And he did some nice things today and you know, 1:03:37.600 --> 1:03:40.360 we'll just we'll just keep keep him coming, keep Dallas coming. 1:03:41.320 --> 1:03:43.240 And I think it's I think for us it could 1:03:43.240 --> 1:03:45.560 be an advantage, um, you know, whether we use them 1:03:45.600 --> 1:03:49.200 all at one time or use them and in different 1:03:49.200 --> 1:03:52.360 personnel packages. So I was real pleased from the tight 1:03:52.440 --> 1:03:55.680 end position. But when you look at the depleted receiving corps, 1:03:55.800 --> 1:03:59.160 Mike goes down, you already don't have al Sean. It 1:03:59.200 --> 1:04:02.400 has to put you a disadvantage even as a play caller. 1:04:03.040 --> 1:04:05.200 I mean, I mean it does, um, but you know 1:04:05.240 --> 1:04:09.600 what I don't. I don't even as a play caller. 1:04:09.640 --> 1:04:11.400 I still try to stay aggressive. I still try to 1:04:11.440 --> 1:04:13.160 you know, shoot the ball down the field. I'm still 1:04:13.160 --> 1:04:14.560 trying to put it, try to put it in our 1:04:14.680 --> 1:04:16.880 our our you know, in Zac's hands, trying to put 1:04:16.880 --> 1:04:20.520 in in Nelson Agloor's hands. You know, run the football 1:04:20.560 --> 1:04:23.560 a little bit. Jay obviously again was him and him 1:04:23.560 --> 1:04:25.960 and Wendell Corey maxing it up in a run game, 1:04:26.000 --> 1:04:28.920 the screen game. So it's just a matter of finding 1:04:28.960 --> 1:04:32.520 the right combination throughout the ball game that uh, that 1:04:32.600 --> 1:04:35.720 we can stick with and and uh, giving ourselves a chance. 1:04:35.800 --> 1:04:39.000 You're staying aggressive also get you in those fourth down 1:04:39.080 --> 1:04:41.320 situations where you're gonna go for it on fourth down 1:04:41.600 --> 1:04:46.000 and that's just your philosophy, it is. And today obviously, um, 1:04:46.000 --> 1:04:47.600 you know, a couple of the fourth downs were towards 1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:48.800 the end of the game and they were kind of 1:04:48.800 --> 1:04:51.200 got to have a situations and and and you know 1:04:51.200 --> 1:04:53.480 the fourth and ten is is a tough one to get. 1:04:53.560 --> 1:04:55.600 But but I felt like in order for us to 1:04:55.600 --> 1:04:57.200 to get back into this football game, I was going 1:04:57.280 --> 1:04:59.800 to do that, and um, and we came up short 1:04:59.840 --> 1:05:02.280 on couple, but uh, you know, I'm going to maintain 1:05:02.280 --> 1:05:04.960 that aggressiveness. I'm gonna make sure that our players understand 1:05:05.000 --> 1:05:06.920 that and we got to do better on first and 1:05:07.000 --> 1:05:09.280 second down the third down to stay out of fourth 1:05:09.320 --> 1:05:12.200 and long. So he goes a little hand in hand. 1:05:12.280 --> 1:05:14.040 One last thing, coach, you know that this is a 1:05:14.080 --> 1:05:17.760 big play offense, the Tampa Bay Bucks. How big were 1:05:17.760 --> 1:05:21.120 the two touchdowns? The first one to Jackson and then 1:05:21.160 --> 1:05:23.880 the other one to the tight end Howard? They're big, 1:05:24.000 --> 1:05:25.400 I mean they're big. I mean those are things we 1:05:25.400 --> 1:05:27.640 talk about all week, trying to eliminate the big play 1:05:27.800 --> 1:05:29.800 and then offensively trying to create the big play. And 1:05:30.160 --> 1:05:31.880 you know, it happened again today, and we just got 1:05:31.880 --> 1:05:35.280 to continue to study, continue to um figure out why. 1:05:35.520 --> 1:05:37.840 You know, a lot of football left loft season left. 1:05:37.880 --> 1:05:39.840 We were in this situation a year ago, one on one. 1:05:39.920 --> 1:05:42.520 So I'm excited about what's what's ahead of us and 1:05:42.800 --> 1:05:44.680 looking forward to getting to work. Thanks coach, good luck 1:05:44.760 --> 1:05:48.919 next week. Appreciate it all right, Thank you very much, 1:05:49.000 --> 1:05:50.920 Mike and Doug.

All right, welcome back to 1:08:21.040 --> 1:08:23.800 the Postgame Show presented by Rico And you know, going 1:08:23.840 --> 1:08:25.439 back to Tide, we were talking about before the break 1:08:25.479 --> 1:08:28.719 about it's not a dire situation with the Eagles losing. 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:31.320 For me, I just want to see him stack wins 1:08:31.320 --> 1:08:33.080 early in this season. You made a great point about 1:08:33.080 --> 1:08:35.280 the Patriots and how they have to use that first month, 1:08:35.280 --> 1:08:37.840 those first four games to kind of find themselves, and 1:08:37.840 --> 1:08:40.200 that's certainly the case here with the Eagles. But still 1:08:40.520 --> 1:08:42.280 when you look at the schedule or we're actually gonna 1:08:42.280 --> 1:08:45.080 get into it much later in the show, you really 1:08:45.080 --> 1:08:48.719 want to get those wins early, especially with Washington losing earlier. Today, 1:08:49.080 --> 1:08:50.760 you could say the Eagles can be two and oh 1:08:50.800 --> 1:08:52.960 in the division. You know, Dallas is playing in New 1:08:53.040 --> 1:08:55.240 York tonight, so one will be one on one day 1:08:55.320 --> 1:08:57.160 will be o and two. Just take the take the 1:08:57.240 --> 1:08:59.160 leading in division and crush it from the start, so 1:08:59.200 --> 1:09:02.240 at least you have that path to the postseason already 1:09:02.800 --> 1:09:04.759 kind of taken care of, and then you can build 1:09:04.800 --> 1:09:06.760 from there. So that's that's why you want to see 1:09:06.800 --> 1:09:10.240 them come out with the win today, And you're absolutely right. 1:09:10.240 --> 1:09:12.000 I mean, you want to be able to win games 1:09:12.000 --> 1:09:14.960 that are winnable games. You're not gonna go sixteen and oh, 1:09:15.040 --> 1:09:18.360 that's obvious. You're gonna lose some here and there. And 1:09:18.439 --> 1:09:21.719 it's not to say that Tampa was an inferior opponent 1:09:21.760 --> 1:09:25.240 opponent to you, but simple fact is this was a 1:09:25.240 --> 1:09:28.280 game that you give credit to Tampa for doing what 1:09:28.320 --> 1:09:31.360 they did, but you didn't play your best today. And 1:09:31.400 --> 1:09:34.680 that's as a player and coaches, that's what gnaws at 1:09:34.720 --> 1:09:36.880 you when you when you're on that plane ride back home, 1:09:36.880 --> 1:09:39.360 when you when you hit the bed tonight and you 1:09:39.479 --> 1:09:41.519 think you're replaying the game in your head, you're saying 1:09:41.560 --> 1:09:44.920 to yourself, man, we gave one away because we didn't 1:09:44.920 --> 1:09:48.160 play our best today. And the first thing Doug mentioned 1:09:48.200 --> 1:09:51.040 when he started his press conferences, he talked about the 1:09:51.080 --> 1:09:54.080 self inflicted wounds, the penalties, things of that nature. Giving 1:09:54.160 --> 1:09:57.599 up one play drives. Those are the things that will 1:09:57.640 --> 1:09:59.680 eat at you until you get a chance to get 1:09:59.720 --> 1:10:01.840 back on the field next week. All right. So it 1:10:01.920 --> 1:10:05.240 wasn't the best of homecomings for wide receiver Nelson. Agilore 1:10:05.360 --> 1:10:09.240 had twelve targets, eight catches, eighty eight yards and the touchdown. 1:10:09.560 --> 1:10:11.839 We are actually going to break down this beautiful touchdown. 1:10:11.840 --> 1:10:14.000 I still know how he came up with an amazing 1:10:14.000 --> 1:10:16.920 throw byte Nick Foles down, there's the goal line, beautiful 1:10:16.960 --> 1:10:19.040 toe tap reception there to get the ball in for 1:10:19.080 --> 1:10:21.840 six points, and the hurdle over the photographer is something 1:10:21.840 --> 1:10:24.240 you don't want to miss. In a Rico review presented 1:10:24.280 --> 1:10:27.520 by fran Duffy and greg ocell gentlemen, take it away, 1:10:28.200 --> 1:10:30.439 all right, greg, Let's now look at a play midway 1:10:30.439 --> 1:10:32.200 through the fourth quarter Nour. The Eagles are trying to 1:10:32.200 --> 1:10:34.559 mount a comeback, and you see this touchdown pass on 1:10:34.600 --> 1:10:37.439 fourth and goal from Nick Foles to Nelson Agilar and really, 1:10:37.479 --> 1:10:39.720 to me, this kind of speaks to the receiver that 1:10:39.800 --> 1:10:42.280 Nelson Agilare has become because this release off the line 1:10:42.280 --> 1:10:44.799 of scrimmage here in the red zone in a clutch situation. 1:10:44.960 --> 1:10:46.599 It's a thing of beauty what he does to the rookie. 1:10:46.680 --> 1:10:48.439 M J. Stewart we got a little excited when we 1:10:48.439 --> 1:10:50.479 saw this play, thinking maybe we'd have a comeback here. 1:10:50.920 --> 1:10:54.160 But this is a two man route concept. It's a 1:10:54.320 --> 1:10:57.200 flat seven and why don't you draw that up because 1:10:57.320 --> 1:10:59.719 you're going to get the seven route by Nelson Agilar 1:10:59.760 --> 1:11:01.479 and this slot, and you're going to get the flat 1:11:01.560 --> 1:11:04.000 route by Shelton Gibson, and you have man to man 1:11:04.000 --> 1:11:06.280 coverage here, but you hit it right on the head. 1:11:06.320 --> 1:11:08.599 There's not a lot of room. You're in the tight 1:11:08.800 --> 1:11:11.400 red zone. Okay, you're inside the five yard line. So 1:11:11.439 --> 1:11:14.479 the routes have to be run with absolute precision. If 1:11:14.479 --> 1:11:16.840 they're off by just a little bit, this throw can't 1:11:16.840 --> 1:11:19.880 be made. So you mentioned Aglar. What he does so 1:11:19.960 --> 1:11:23.880 well with his release is get MJ. Stewart, the rookie 1:11:23.920 --> 1:11:27.760 slot corner for the Bucks turned to the inside. So 1:11:27.880 --> 1:11:30.000 what that allows him to do now he wins the 1:11:30.080 --> 1:11:33.679 leverage game right off the bat, and that's absolutely critical. 1:11:33.800 --> 1:11:37.719 If Aglar just runs straight, he doesn't gain the leverage 1:11:37.800 --> 1:11:41.000 needed to run the seven route. So let's clear this Frannon. 1:11:41.240 --> 1:11:43.920 Let's see that happen now. And if we run this now, 1:11:43.960 --> 1:11:46.519 we can see exactly what Agilar did. Boom. Look at 1:11:46.560 --> 1:11:48.280 that right there and then freeze it right about there. 1:11:48.479 --> 1:11:51.240 See how he's won right now. He's one to the 1:11:51.280 --> 1:11:54.200 outside and because there's not a lot of space, you 1:11:54.320 --> 1:11:56.920 have to do that as quickly as possible. And because 1:11:56.920 --> 1:12:00.320 it's man coverage, the other corner is matched on and 1:12:00.360 --> 1:12:02.479 he's not going to be a big factor. But This 1:12:02.600 --> 1:12:06.280 was still really a very tight window throw right there. 1:12:06.360 --> 1:12:08.439 This is beautiful, so let's clear it and now we 1:12:08.479 --> 1:12:12.400 can see the throw. The corner does drop off and Foles, 1:12:12.520 --> 1:12:15.240 Nick Foles, made about as beautiful a throw as you 1:12:15.280 --> 1:12:17.280 could make on that because there's not a lot of 1:12:17.280 --> 1:12:19.720 space and you're working, like I said, in the tight 1:12:19.800 --> 1:12:21.960 rid zone. Yeah, so it makes a twenty one. The 1:12:22.000 --> 1:12:24.479 Eagles unable to get a stop there at the end 1:12:24.520 --> 1:12:26.920 of the game, but outstanding throw and catch there from 1:12:26.960 --> 1:12:29.200 Nelson Iglore and Nick Foles to help bring it within 1:12:29.240 --> 1:12:31.679 a score. Just couldn't get it all done today. Obviously 1:12:31.760 --> 1:12:33.880 a tough outing for this Eagles team. Yeah, and it 1:12:33.920 --> 1:12:36.080 was probably a tough outing for the Eagles defense. We're 1:12:36.080 --> 1:12:38.400 not used to seeing that with a Jim Schwartz defense. 1:12:38.439 --> 1:12:41.040 They normally play at such a high level weekend and 1:12:41.080 --> 1:12:44.160 week out. But the Bucks with Ryan Fitzpatrick, they're on 1:12:44.200 --> 1:12:46.240 a nice little role offensively and they have a lot 1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:48.800 of weapons. We saw that today. Yeah, no question, you'd 1:12:48.840 --> 1:12:50.719 like to see that game go a little bit differently 1:12:50.720 --> 1:12:52.599 there at the end. But guys a lot to learn 1:12:52.680 --> 1:12:55.120 from here in this Eagle's loss on all three sides 1:12:55.120 --> 1:13:02.759 of the ball. Honestly offense, defense, and special teams. Alright. 1:13:02.800 --> 1:13:09.760 So McDonald's proud partner of the Philadelphia Eagles. Alright. So 1:13:10.040 --> 1:13:12.160 that graces up there from France and Greg and you 1:13:12.160 --> 1:13:14.840 can check out the entire all twenty two review first 1:13:14.880 --> 1:13:17.920 thing tomorrow morning here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and 1:13:18.080 --> 1:13:19.800 the app. Now we're gonna take our last break here 1:13:19.840 --> 1:13:21.800 on the postgame show presented by Rico.

Sometimes I realize that further 1:14:34.560 --> 1:14:40.599 wrong go the more that I know that I won't 1:14:40.680 --> 1:14:45.879 go home.

Here is 1:15:28.080 --> 1:15:30.679 your chance to vote for the Toyota Player of the Week. 1:15:30.920 --> 1:15:34.880 Go to Philadelphia Eagles dot com slash Toyota Player of 1:15:34.880 --> 1:15:37.280 the Week to cash your vote and get a chance 1:15:37.360 --> 1:15:41.640 at a brand new Toyota. All right, So, or to 1:15:41.720 --> 1:15:43.800 kick things off here, the Toyota Player of the Week 1:15:43.840 --> 1:15:47.439 nominees with running back Corey Clement, Darren Sprowls out stepped 1:15:47.479 --> 1:15:48.880 up in a big way of taking on a bigger role, 1:15:48.960 --> 1:15:51.720 especially on third down, and then Jagi gets hurt in 1:15:51.720 --> 1:15:53.600 the first half, so we asked to shoulder more of 1:15:53.600 --> 1:15:56.120 the load on offense. And I thought, bra lad juice 1:15:56.160 --> 1:15:58.240 to the run game out there. Yeah, you know, when 1:15:58.280 --> 1:16:00.479 Corey gets the ball in his hands, here a different 1:16:00.479 --> 1:16:03.840 little element, right, He runs the ball hard, runs with determination, 1:16:05.120 --> 1:16:08.000 and fans are like, wanted to see Corey become a 1:16:08.000 --> 1:16:10.280 little bit more part of the offense this week. Certainly 1:16:10.320 --> 1:16:13.680 didn't want to do to someone's else's misfortune. But when 1:16:13.680 --> 1:16:15.720 you see Jed Jile you go out early in the game, 1:16:15.840 --> 1:16:17.920 you know that Corey Clemmet is going to give a 1:16:18.000 --> 1:16:19.800 chance to touch the ball a little bit more today. 1:16:20.000 --> 1:16:21.840 And I like the fact that he catches the ball 1:16:21.840 --> 1:16:24.679 out of the backfield. Five catches today fifty five yards, 1:16:24.920 --> 1:16:27.160 had a nice run out of the catch. Unfortunately had 1:16:27.160 --> 1:16:29.800 his part return called back due to a block in 1:16:29.840 --> 1:16:33.479 the back. But look forward to seeing Corey touched the 1:16:33.479 --> 1:16:35.800 ball a little bit more runs with that determination that 1:16:35.880 --> 1:16:38.720 he had last year. Just needed a few more opportunity 1:16:39.000 --> 1:16:41.360 and a crowded backfield. You never know what those opportunities 1:16:41.400 --> 1:16:43.360 are going to present itself. I like the fact that 1:16:43.360 --> 1:16:45.120 he was ready to roll to day when he was 1:16:45.120 --> 1:16:47.360 called upon. Also, we'll go down and make spect make 1:16:47.400 --> 1:16:50.120 tackles on special teams as well. Big still big part 1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:51.639 of his game. That's how he got in the field 1:16:51.680 --> 1:16:54.640 initially last season as a rookie and still continues that 1:16:54.760 --> 1:16:57.040 to this day. Scary moment in the fourth quarter when 1:16:57.080 --> 1:16:59.439 he took that helmet to helmet shot there going for 1:16:59.479 --> 1:17:01.479 that fourth passed. Great to see him come back in 1:17:01.520 --> 1:17:04.080 the game and look no worse for wear as a 1:17:04.120 --> 1:17:07.280 result of him. So our first nominee there is Corey Clement. 1:17:07.479 --> 1:17:11.719 Number two. We're gonna go with defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, 1:17:11.760 --> 1:17:15.280 who spectacular move early on the game shoving kl Fannick 1:17:15.360 --> 1:17:17.559 around to be able to get to Ryan Fitzpatrick for 1:17:17.600 --> 1:17:20.639 a sack, especially at a time when the Eagles really 1:17:20.640 --> 1:17:23.519 needed something on defense to spark themselves after the slow start. 1:17:23.560 --> 1:17:26.400 There Fletcher Cox just dominant in the middle of that defense. 1:17:26.479 --> 1:17:28.479 Once again, it seems like that Fletcher Cox might be 1:17:28.479 --> 1:17:31.160 a nominee each and every week for this team. Yeah, 1:17:31.200 --> 1:17:33.240 And he put the target on his back, you know 1:17:33.280 --> 1:17:35.680 in the off season when he said his goal is 1:17:35.680 --> 1:17:38.080 to be Defensive Player of the Year. You know his 1:17:38.200 --> 1:17:40.720 agent mate and Aaron Donald got it last year. So 1:17:40.800 --> 1:17:43.120 I know that's part of the motivation for Fletcher and 1:17:43.200 --> 1:17:46.160 I'm all foreign And every game Fletcher has played in 1:17:46.520 --> 1:17:50.519 in two eighteen, that includes preseason games, he's got a sacking. Yes, 1:17:50.800 --> 1:17:53.960 So every game, if he keeps doing that, he'll finish 1:17:54.000 --> 1:17:55.880 with sixteen sacks and he'll be right there in the 1:17:55.960 --> 1:17:58.360 hunt for what he's driving for Defensive Player of the Year. 1:17:58.520 --> 1:18:01.200 All Right, our last nominee year, we're gonna go back 1:18:01.320 --> 1:18:05.000 to the wide receiver position. Nelson Agilore. We talked about 1:18:05.080 --> 1:18:06.840 him a few moments ago in the Rico Review with 1:18:06.920 --> 1:18:10.560 that touchdown that he had beautiful catch from Nick Foles. 1:18:10.600 --> 1:18:13.200 But overall, just the one guy that you can count 1:18:13.240 --> 1:18:15.760 on to make things happen on the offense, whether if 1:18:15.800 --> 1:18:18.240 it's a short pass, a short reception just to get 1:18:18.360 --> 1:18:20.360 moved the change, or to come up with a big play. 1:18:20.400 --> 1:18:22.759 He had the catching run for fifty yards out there today. 1:18:22.800 --> 1:18:26.400 So Nelson Agilore once again also a nominee for the 1:18:26.439 --> 1:18:28.639 Toyota Play over the Week Award. There's really a lot 1:18:28.640 --> 1:18:30.679 of pressure on Nellie getting a chance to go back 1:18:30.680 --> 1:18:34.360 and play in the city where he grew up down 1:18:34.400 --> 1:18:38.400 there in Tampa, Florida, and for the first time Bannon 1:18:38.760 --> 1:18:41.320 Raymond James Stadium. I thought he had a nice game. 1:18:41.520 --> 1:18:44.720 And the thing about Nelson that I like this year 1:18:45.000 --> 1:18:48.479 is his mental toughness. He's basically being called upon to 1:18:48.600 --> 1:18:51.360 show to the load in the passing game. You know, 1:18:51.520 --> 1:18:54.320 they move him all around short passes. Like to see 1:18:54.400 --> 1:18:56.559 him get a few more deep throws if we get 1:18:56.560 --> 1:18:58.000 a chance too, but he even has to be a 1:18:58.040 --> 1:19:00.680 part of a running game at times, really being that 1:19:00.880 --> 1:19:05.120 ultimate weapon for our offense. Nice job from Nelson agilo Man. 1:19:05.160 --> 1:19:07.840 The last two years for him just been fantastic. The 1:19:07.880 --> 1:19:09.800 reason why we drafted him in the first round a 1:19:09.800 --> 1:19:13.840 few years ago. Yeah six captain for today's game, So yeah, 1:19:13.840 --> 1:19:15.760 exactly a tip of the captain him having a big 1:19:15.800 --> 1:19:18.120 game going back to his hometown. So those are your 1:19:18.160 --> 1:19:21.040 Toyota Player of the Week nominees. Now let's take a 1:19:21.080 --> 1:19:25.160 look at the upcoming schedule again. Next week, the Eagles 1:19:25.200 --> 1:19:28.639 will host the Indianapolis Colts. Frank Reich and Andrew Luck 1:19:28.800 --> 1:19:30.920 come to town and it's gonna be a much more 1:19:30.960 --> 1:19:34.519 interesting matchup. The Colts beating Washington today, so they get 1:19:34.560 --> 1:19:36.639 the first win under the belt for Frank right there, 1:19:36.640 --> 1:19:39.800 as head coach Andrew Luck coming back into form after 1:19:39.800 --> 1:19:42.360 missing all of last season with the shoulder injury. So 1:19:42.439 --> 1:19:44.600 again there are some playmakers on that side of the 1:19:44.640 --> 1:19:47.320 ball for the Colts. You can't dismiss them. But again 1:19:47.560 --> 1:19:49.599 we talked about this earlier in the show. This defense 1:19:49.640 --> 1:19:52.720 has been so much different at home. You figure if 1:19:52.760 --> 1:19:54.559 they can get to Andrew Luck early and often, they 1:19:54.560 --> 1:19:56.320 should make it a long day because the Colts do 1:19:56.400 --> 1:19:58.240 not have a running game they can rely upon. Yeah, 1:19:58.280 --> 1:20:00.920 I'm excited about this game next week. First of all, 1:20:00.960 --> 1:20:05.760 it's at home. Excited about that, But we haven't gotten 1:20:05.800 --> 1:20:08.800 a chance to see Andrew Luck here at Lincoln Financial Field. 1:20:08.880 --> 1:20:11.360 So this is a guy who's tabbed as being one 1:20:11.400 --> 1:20:13.400 of the bright young quarterbacks of the future of the 1:20:13.479 --> 1:20:17.599 National Football League, of that next generation quarterback. Couple injuries, 1:20:17.640 --> 1:20:20.000 the last couple of years has sort of flown under 1:20:20.040 --> 1:20:22.559 the radar when it comes to who are the future 1:20:22.600 --> 1:20:25.519 stars in the NFL at the quarterback position. That talent 1:20:25.680 --> 1:20:28.280 is still there and Andrew Luck So don't sleep on 1:20:28.320 --> 1:20:30.080 the fact that you haven't seen him in the last 1:20:30.080 --> 1:20:32.960 two years. He still has the ability to beat you 1:20:33.040 --> 1:20:35.120 with his arm. He does so again they get the 1:20:35.120 --> 1:20:37.120 cult and then they go to Tennessee the week after that, 1:20:37.200 --> 1:20:39.439 and if the Eagles can handle their business the next 1:20:39.479 --> 1:20:41.639 two weeks, there'll be three and one through the first 1:20:41.680 --> 1:20:43.840 quarter of the season. And I think most fans would 1:20:43.840 --> 1:20:45.559 take that and sign up for an incident. Well, you 1:20:45.560 --> 1:20:48.040 know what the discussion will be this week. The report 1:20:48.240 --> 1:20:53.040 that came out this weekend, the number eleven is close. Indeed, 1:20:52.800 --> 1:20:55.439 pay next. We haven't even touch that one. Staying away 1:20:55.439 --> 1:20:58.360 from that one, Okay, we figured we got all week there, 1:20:58.560 --> 1:21:01.080 we got all week. You know what on Marcieries starting 1:21:01.120 --> 1:21:05.080 tomorrow afternoon on the sports radio ninety four w you 1:21:05.200 --> 1:21:08.000 have ball with that one. So again, it's the thing 1:21:08.120 --> 1:21:09.599 is gonna be. I would love to see him come 1:21:09.640 --> 1:21:10.880 back this week. I will love to see he and 1:21:10.880 --> 1:21:13.559 al Sean come back together this week to ignite the offense. 1:21:13.880 --> 1:21:16.639 But we just can't put you know, we can't expect 1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:18.799 him to come out and be Carson Wentz twenty seventeen. 1:21:18.840 --> 1:21:20.599 We can't expect him to come out from the gate 1:21:20.760 --> 1:21:24.280 and be an MVP quarterback again. I think that's been 1:21:24.360 --> 1:21:27.960 putting two months. Not realistic. But again, I think Nick 1:21:28.000 --> 1:21:31.280 Foles played a very efficient game. Carson will bring that 1:21:31.400 --> 1:21:34.400 explosive element, okay, from the deep armed, the ability to 1:21:34.439 --> 1:21:36.519 make place with his feet. Certainly he's gonna have that, 1:21:36.640 --> 1:21:38.720 But how much will we see of that early on? 1:21:38.880 --> 1:21:41.000 Is he gonna be a different style of quarterback coming 1:21:41.000 --> 1:21:42.920 back from the knee injury. I don't think he will, 1:21:43.320 --> 1:21:45.280 but we're not gonna know. It's gonna be point and 1:21:45.320 --> 1:21:47.320 I'll tell you Nick planned the way that he played 1:21:47.360 --> 1:21:49.920 this week. The offense is starting to find a little something. 1:21:50.320 --> 1:21:52.720 So he's throwing the ball around well, starting to get 1:21:52.800 --> 1:21:55.679 gain some confidence in his ability to throw the ball 1:21:55.720 --> 1:21:57.960 with these weapons that he has. He has around him, 1:21:58.280 --> 1:22:01.800 somewhat of a revolving door, you know, may have been 1:22:01.880 --> 1:22:04.519 able to hold off on bringing number eleven and back. 1:22:04.600 --> 1:22:07.400 So number nine is playing well man exactly so, and 1:22:07.600 --> 1:22:09.719 the number nine is probably like, you give me seventeen, 1:22:09.720 --> 1:22:11.960 you give me Aushan back. Right, we can make We 1:22:11.960 --> 1:22:14.680 saw the Super Bowls's on the Vikings Championship game. I 1:22:14.680 --> 1:22:16.840 can make something happen with him out there on the field, 1:22:17.040 --> 1:22:19.680 especially considering that Mike Wallas reports are that he was 1:22:19.720 --> 1:22:21.840 in a boot in the locker room, so we don't 1:22:21.840 --> 1:22:24.080 know what his long term productnosis is going to be 1:22:24.280 --> 1:22:26.240 or if he'll be available for next week's game against 1:22:26.240 --> 1:22:28.240 the Cult. Well, nonetheless, that's gonna do it for us 1:22:28.240 --> 1:22:31.519 here on the postgame show presented by Rico for Ike reason, 1:22:31.600 --> 1:22:34.160 all of us here at the Philadelphia Eagles.

Unfortunately, the Eagles go down twenty 1:22:37.360 --> 1:22:39.680 seven to twenty one to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, But 1:22:39.760 --> 1:22:42.599 stay tuned throughout the night and tomorrow for complete coverage 1:22:42.600 --> 1:22:45.400 on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com, our app, and all of 1:22:45.400 --> 1:22:48.919 our social media channels.
