Speaker 1: Eagles Entertainment in the Rain. The Eagles reign NFC East
Speaker 1: champions with a thirty four seventeen win over at the
Speaker 1: New York Giants. We are very excited to break it
Speaker 1: all down and look ahead to what this means for
Speaker 1: this team. Thanks for joining us on the first game show,
Speaker 1: Amy Campbell as always, joined by friend Duffy and I Crease. Uh,
Speaker 1: you guys are really chill, more chill than I expected.
Speaker 1: Um do you do? You? Are you excited about this one? Well?
Speaker 1: I just got one word. Playoffs. Playoffs victory, Yes the radio, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they get playoffs, So I am excited. I wanted to
Speaker 1: be a little more subtle than I was last week.
Speaker 1: We got a chance to sort of relax towards the
Speaker 1: end of this game in the fourth quarter, so we
Speaker 1: haven't had the last second excitement, but nonetheless, big victory today. Man,
Speaker 1: we got so much to get into. It's just so
Speaker 1: much to say about this team, where they were, where
Speaker 1: they come from, where they are right now, and the
Speaker 1: masterful job that this head coach has done over the
Speaker 1: last four to five weeks keeping this team focused, believing,
Speaker 1: and now have them in the playoffs for three straight years.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something, Amy fran Sometimes we can take
Speaker 1: for granted playing in the postseason. They're not very many
Speaker 1: teams that have been in the playoffs the last three years.
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots half, I think the Chiefs have.
Speaker 1: I can't think of the other three teams, maybe the Saints,
Speaker 1: but it's not been very many teams in this league
Speaker 1: that have gone to the playoffs the last three years.
Speaker 1: So what this team has done over the last three
Speaker 1: years under the head coach of Doug Peterson, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can just say enough about
Speaker 1: the job he's done coaching. We'll talk about the players
Speaker 1: and what they did out there on the field, but
Speaker 1: this NFC East Division crown is a masterful head coaching job.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. A masterful head coach. And to me,
Speaker 1: like when you look at where this team has come from,
Speaker 1: resiliency today shown you don't do that without the leadership
Speaker 1: at the top with head coach, GM quarterback. Like you
Speaker 1: look at some of these other teams that missed the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You look at Dallas, you look at Cleveland, you look
Speaker 1: at some of these other ones that Hall had high
Speaker 1: expectations coming into the year, had no injuries, they had
Speaker 1: off the field stuff. They've got all these other distractions,
Speaker 1: all these other excuses to why they don't succeed. This
Speaker 1: team had on field reasons to say, man, you know what,
Speaker 1: this just isn't our year, is not going our way.
Speaker 1: What do they do? They come back, They run the
Speaker 1: table at the end of the year, and now they're
Speaker 1: going to the postseason. Well, at one point, you looked
Speaker 1: at this offense, I mean just so many injuries across
Speaker 1: the board, and already playing with guys who were not starters,
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who are on practice squad halfway
Speaker 1: through this season, and even in this game, those guys
Speaker 1: are going out with injuries. We saw Miles Sanders got
Speaker 1: with the injury. We saw Brandon brook squad with the injury.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this team and I'm saying, the offensive
Speaker 1: starters coming into this season, it was Carson Wentz, Jason Kelsey,
Speaker 1: Sam Malo, Jason Peters. I think that might have was it.
Speaker 1: That might have been it. So what they were able
Speaker 1: to do with the guys that they had, and well,
Speaker 1: let's talk, I mean, we're going to give love to
Speaker 1: a lot of these different players. Who should we start
Speaker 1: with Boston. No, let's throw with a media guy so
Speaker 1: I can figure out who are these players that were
Speaker 1: out there playing today. I mean so many guys in
Speaker 1: there today where you have to basically look them up
Speaker 1: to get some sort of a background on where they are,
Speaker 1: where they came from, what you're they're in, and to
Speaker 1: have coaches be able to devise a game plan around
Speaker 1: these guys, even players they lost today that they had
Speaker 1: to throw out there. I mean, Craig man LeBlanc, where
Speaker 1: have you been? My friend? What a job edia today? Um,
Speaker 1: I guess I'll throw my first cheat out there because
Speaker 1: we're talking about it. It's next man up in the mentality, Yeah,
Speaker 1: next man up. The way they've been able to basically
Speaker 1: go in when a guy goes down and not flinch
Speaker 1: and really had the confidence of the other players around them.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when you get injuries, you can get
Speaker 1: sort of a gloomy mood or filling around the locker
Speaker 1: room because you're saying, our best players aren't out there,
Speaker 1: and you may not have veteran players that believe in
Speaker 1: these young guys. But to these guys, right to these
Speaker 1: veterans credit, they seem to believe in all these young guys.
Speaker 1: They get a chance to practice against them on the
Speaker 1: practice squad all year, so they know firsthand the things
Speaker 1: they are capable of doing. So I think I've gotten
Speaker 1: a lot of joy out of watching them root Boston
Speaker 1: Scott on Gray Award Route, these guys on to see
Speaker 1: them get their opportunity to go out there and play.
Speaker 1: How do you how do you not like Boston Scott?
Speaker 1: Like while watching that pretty that screen pass that set
Speaker 1: up the one to one yard touchdown, like the look
Speaker 1: on his face afterwards. But to me, going too to
Speaker 1: your point of the next man up, Like I go
Speaker 1: to that two play sequence that we were watching together.
Speaker 1: We're watching the game, last play of the third quarter,
Speaker 1: first play of the fourth quarter, they go deep ball
Speaker 1: to Robert Davis who goes up and over the Giants defender.
Speaker 1: Huge play puts them into Giants territory, comes back on
Speaker 1: a penalty, and you're just so deflating. You're like, man,
Speaker 1: we're watching the game, like how they how they gonna
Speaker 1: make this up first and twenty? What do they do?
Speaker 1: First play of the fourth quarter, very next play they
Speaker 1: go deep shot Deontay Burnett. So you go from the
Speaker 1: former sixth round Pickle Washington that they picked up off
Speaker 1: way in the summer. In Robert Davis to a guy
Speaker 1: that they've just picked up a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: added to the practice squad, added to the active roster
Speaker 1: this week, Deontay Burnett. I'll explain to like, Oh, that's
Speaker 1: Deontay Burnette. He was Sam Garnold's number one receiver with
Speaker 1: the Jets. Good player, you know, played for the Jets
Speaker 1: last year. They picked him up off waivers this fall,
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks ago. He's out here catching
Speaker 1: thirty yard passes. That just speaks to where this team's
Speaker 1: at right now, though, and the resiliency they've shown. These
Speaker 1: are the guys who caught passes today, Boston Scott, Dallas Goddard,
Speaker 1: Josh Perkins, Deontay Burnette, Greg Ward, Robert Davis, Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: And we know that Miles Sanders left pretty early in
Speaker 1: the game, did not return as well. Boston Scott three
Speaker 1: touch three rushing touchdowns, that's the most in Shade McCoy
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. Again, one of the best stories of
Speaker 1: this season. And then you want to talk about milestones,
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz surpasses four thousand yards in a single season.
Speaker 1: That has never been done in Eagles history. Not only that,
Speaker 1: the first Eagles quarterback in history to throw a touchdown
Speaker 1: pass in all sixteen games of a season. He came
Speaker 1: into this season with so many questions that continued, and
Speaker 1: I actually got louder, I would say until the Giants
Speaker 1: game four weeks ago when you said that was the
Speaker 1: best game ike of his career. He had so many
Speaker 1: questions that continued, that doubt continued to get louder. And
Speaker 1: he is doing this with like we said, guys that
Speaker 1: we're on practice squads just a few weeks ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he went through a stretch of a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I think it's probably as rough as patch as a
Speaker 1: pro right outside of being injured at any point. You
Speaker 1: just watched him play against New England in Seattle. The
Speaker 1: guys that were out there, you could tell if the
Speaker 1: offense wasn't in sync. There were chemistry issues from the
Speaker 1: standpoint of just being able to be in rhythm with
Speaker 1: each other. Outshone in and out, Nelson in and out
Speaker 1: in those two weeks, and I thought Carson probably played
Speaker 1: his worst two games. So to see him bounce back
Speaker 1: from those two defeats and the way that he played
Speaker 1: in those games. I think it just speaks to you know,
Speaker 1: fran this will probably be a buzz word throughout the show.
Speaker 1: It speaks to Carson's resiliency, the fact that he's going
Speaker 1: to continue to work at his craft. That's he's going
Speaker 1: to continue to try to pick up his level of play,
Speaker 1: and that's really what turned this thing around. Even after
Speaker 1: the loss in Miami, where he played well in that game.
Speaker 1: On that side of the football, you can tell he
Speaker 1: took the heart those two games against Seattle in New
Speaker 1: England with the way that he played, and he wasn't bound.
Speaker 1: He wasn't going to allow that to happen again. So
Speaker 1: I love the way that he's played over the last
Speaker 1: five weeks. One of the hottest, if not the hottest
Speaker 1: quarterback in football over the last month. You talked about
Speaker 1: the sixteenth straight touchdowns he's I mean sixteen straight games
Speaker 1: he has this year. Well, he has the longest streak
Speaker 1: right now currently in the NFL at nineteen straight games
Speaker 1: with a touchdown pass And to add to that four
Speaker 1: thousand yard passing mark, which he surpassed today for the
Speaker 1: first time in franchise history. He became the first quarterback
Speaker 1: in NFL history to do it without a receiver having
Speaker 1: more than five hundred yards. That's almost unheard of, right, So,
Speaker 1: I mean, just the way that that he's played through
Speaker 1: out the year. He won't get any votes for MVP,
Speaker 1: nor do I think he should, but the fact that
Speaker 1: this team is in the playoffs primarily due to his play,
Speaker 1: particularly over the last month or so, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if somebody decided to give him one vote because
Speaker 1: he is one of the twelve qualifiers for the postseason,
Speaker 1: and there's no way this team is in the postseason
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play the way he played the last
Speaker 1: four weeks. No, no, no shot. And I think too
Speaker 1: you talk about what he's done. I sent that stat
Speaker 1: in the Kickoff Show leading into this game. He didn't
Speaker 1: have thirty completions tonight, but he was the first quarterback
Speaker 1: NFL history to have three straight games thirty completions, no interceptions,
Speaker 1: first quarterbacking team, and to do that with the supporting
Speaker 1: cast that he's been playing with. I don't know what
Speaker 1: else you can say about the way he's playing well
Speaker 1: and still and took care of the football tonight again,
Speaker 1: which usually means a w for the Eagles. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what, there is not a team that wants to
Speaker 1: run into Carson Wentz in the postseason. But somebody is
Speaker 1: going to next week. It is going to be the
Speaker 1: loser of tonight's game between the forty nine Ers and
Speaker 1: the Seattle Sea So whoever gets the wild card in
Speaker 1: the NFC, we'll be coming over here to South Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Eagles matchup against the Seahawks earlier this year.
Speaker 1: They did not win that game. The forty nine Ers
Speaker 1: have been one of the hot teams this Season's going
Speaker 1: to be one of these two teams. Should we talk
Speaker 1: about what these matchups might look like? Either matchup is
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. We saw Seattle upfront, I mean in
Speaker 1: person about a month or so ago. I thought our
Speaker 1: defense played them very well. What is the seventeen points
Speaker 1: they scored? I believe our offense struggled a little bit.
Speaker 1: Carson had a couple turnovers in that game. They're struggling
Speaker 1: with personnel right now. Anytime you're bringing Marshawn Lynche in
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get a lot of carries for you.
Speaker 1: Chris Carson being injured, I think that's gonna be huge
Speaker 1: for their offense. They like to run the ball. I
Speaker 1: don't want to sit here and say who I would
Speaker 1: prefer to see. Either one of these teams are going
Speaker 1: to be a difficult matchup for us just because of
Speaker 1: who we have available to us. But I tell you what,
Speaker 1: the way this team is playing right now coming to Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: that's two West Coast teams that have to fly out here.
Speaker 1: Hope is Saturday night and not Sunday, so we get
Speaker 1: them on a short week, and you know the link
Speaker 1: is going to be crazy. Carson Winson his first playoff game, Okay,
Speaker 1: right now, it just feels so right when I look
Speaker 1: at these matchups. Of course, I want your take on
Speaker 1: this two fram but I think, first of all, this
Speaker 1: game tonight for the for these teams is going to
Speaker 1: be a battle, and so both of these teams are
Speaker 1: going to be exhausted after this. Like you said, it's
Speaker 1: a night game, so it's gonna be a little shorter.
Speaker 1: When I look at Seattle, I think this is a
Speaker 1: team that the Eagles have already faced. We know it's
Speaker 1: hard to meet a team twice, but Russell Wilson is
Speaker 1: the quarterback who is the winner who I would not
Speaker 1: want to face, although their defense is ranked twenty six
Speaker 1: in the league, and so I think that's a less
Speaker 1: talented defense. On the forty nine er side, I think
Speaker 1: way more talented across the board, but inexperience and an
Speaker 1: unproven quarterback in the postseason. So pros and cons on
Speaker 1: either sidday. Yeah, I think that you make a great point.
Speaker 1: The best player on the field tonight will be Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson between those two teams, and now without a running game,
Speaker 1: they're gonna put the ball in Russell Wilson's hands and
Speaker 1: that Mike work out better for them than what their
Speaker 1: formula has been because they've traditionally been a very conservative offense.
Speaker 1: They want to run the football, try and be efficient,
Speaker 1: matriculate the ball down the field. With Russell Wilson running
Speaker 1: around and making plays, that may not be the case.
Speaker 1: So it'll be very interesting to see what their game
Speaker 1: plan is tonight. I agree with you, though, San Francisco,
Speaker 1: that defense, that's that's something else defense to Ken Travel.
Speaker 1: That'll be interesting to see how this goes tonight. Seattle
Speaker 1: won the first match up a few weeks back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't The forty nine ers the defense would be
Speaker 1: the issue for me because if this team has a
Speaker 1: chance to win, we had to be able to score.
Speaker 1: And I like the match up with our offense versus
Speaker 1: Seattle's offense. I think we're able. We'll be able to
Speaker 1: move the ball on their defense better than we would
Speaker 1: against the San Francisco forty nine ers. And Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: is an excellent play caller. He's an excellent play designer.
Speaker 1: I think we would struggle more with their offensive play
Speaker 1: design and their weapons than we would with Seattle. I'd
Speaker 1: rather have to try to stop the one man show
Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson than the multiple weapons that Cisco can
Speaker 1: hit you with. Both teams have struggled in the secondary
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Yan Francisco has been given up big
Speaker 1: plays down the field in the passing game. Seattle as well.
Speaker 1: They've had some injuries in the back end that have
Speaker 1: certainly hurt them as well. I'm thinking of Nick Bosa.
Speaker 1: Yeah they got like first round pick. Yeah they're really
Speaker 1: good across that front, But you know who else is
Speaker 1: really good across the front The Eagles defense and Tim
Speaker 1: Jernigan one of the several guys up front who had
Speaker 1: a big game tonight, including a sack on Daniel Jones,
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure, really strong force up there, and
Speaker 1: of course showing all that personality. He's one on one
Speaker 1: with Eagles insider Dave Spidero after the win, Tim, let's
Speaker 1: first talk about the defensive effort and taking out Stake
Speaker 1: on other than one play, he did nothing right. You know,
Speaker 1: we got a lot of respect from not just Stake one,
Speaker 1: but the Giants the general. You know, they always play
Speaker 1: us tough as hell, man, so we knew it was
Speaker 1: going to be adult fight. You know, nothing matters what
Speaker 1: happened previous to this. We knew we had to have
Speaker 1: this game. They get what we're trying to go, and
Speaker 1: then you guys really feasted on their offensive line late.
Speaker 1: That turned the whole game around, right a doct man.
Speaker 1: We just knew we had to pick it up. You know,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the success or the team
Speaker 1: layers on our defensive line, and we understand that. So
Speaker 1: we just knew we had to take it to the
Speaker 1: next level to win the game. How's it feel to
Speaker 1: be division champion? You feel good? Man? It was a
Speaker 1: long ride. It was a long you know, it's a
Speaker 1: long path, but we got it done, man, and it's
Speaker 1: just time to go out here enjoy this victory, man,
Speaker 1: and we hope everybody back at home and enjoying it
Speaker 1: with us. So we just want to say thank y'all
Speaker 1: for sticking with us through through through the through this chart. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: Would you listen to that crowd that sounds like a
Speaker 1: home game. That's pretty exciting to hear that. Let's get
Speaker 1: into your next Oh, Carson, I just think you can
Speaker 1: only talk so much about this team without going to
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and the way that he's played. Be surprised
Speaker 1: if he's not the player of the Month in the NFC.
Speaker 1: With the way that he's played and the fact that
Speaker 1: he's able to put this team on his back. That's
Speaker 1: what a franchise quarterback is supposed to do. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's supposed to be this difficult when you
Speaker 1: have the type of weapons that have gone down and
Speaker 1: the players that he has it his disposal and basically
Speaker 1: learning a new passing weaponry every week. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: learning new guys every week and trying to figure out
Speaker 1: where to get them the ball to where they like
Speaker 1: it in the offense. And he's been able to do
Speaker 1: that remarkably well. And the fact that he's been able
Speaker 1: to take care of the football the way he has
Speaker 1: over the last five weeks. I mean, Markos, it's what
Speaker 1: you want from your quarterback, right, It's what you want
Speaker 1: him taking care of football, him being big in the
Speaker 1: red zone and on third down, and how many ways
Speaker 1: do we count that he's been able to come up
Speaker 1: with big throw at the big throw over the last
Speaker 1: month or so and the guys that he's doing it with. Man,
Speaker 1: it just I think we forgot what this looked like
Speaker 1: from him because it's been a while, right since twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen when he was completely healthy. But that Giant game,
Speaker 1: I think it was either the Giant Gag or the
Speaker 1: Redskins game where it was like the two year anniversary
Speaker 1: of him tearing his knee. That's when I started to
Speaker 1: see him run more and do other things. I think
Speaker 1: you're seeing a fully healthy quarterback, fully confident quarterback. And
Speaker 1: the fact that he could taste it, he could taste
Speaker 1: that it was close. He wanted these moments. He's missed
Speaker 1: out on these moments the last couple of years. And man,
Speaker 1: he showed why they drafted him. He showed why they
Speaker 1: gave him the big money this all season, and hopefully
Speaker 1: this is just the beginning for him and being in
Speaker 1: the postseason, I can't wait to see what he's gonna
Speaker 1: look like next week. Yeah. Listening to him at his
Speaker 1: press conference this week, I thought one of the things
Speaker 1: that I took away was, you know, talking about how
Speaker 1: he's worked with these new receivers and it's not just
Speaker 1: a hey, you know this guy, we're gonna insert him
Speaker 1: in and he's gonna play this role in the offense.
Speaker 1: He's taking it upon himself to go to all those
Speaker 1: guys individually and say, hey, what routes do you like
Speaker 1: to run most? How do you like to run those routes?
Speaker 1: And working with those guys individually on a one on
Speaker 1: one basis to now understand Okay, now I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back to the coaches and say, hey, this guy runs
Speaker 1: this route this way, how can we incorporate that into
Speaker 1: what we do, just to expedite that process, because it
Speaker 1: takes time to create chemistry with these guys, and he's
Speaker 1: doing it on the fly. He had he's had to
Speaker 1: do it on the fly. Yeah. I think he gets
Speaker 1: so much credit and for so many things, but especially
Speaker 1: with what he's doing with these young guys, and he's
Speaker 1: the one, like you said, he's the one going to them.
Speaker 1: But you can see even on the sideline his body
Speaker 1: language instilling that confidence, whether it's you know, telling someone
Speaker 1: great job or what they did, or hey, if there
Speaker 1: was a drop or a miss or whatever, I'm coming
Speaker 1: right back to you. And that totally changes, especially for
Speaker 1: a young guy, that mentality and that confidence, and we're
Speaker 1: seeing it happen, which of course breeds more confidence in
Speaker 1: that offense and his leadership. It's had to be on
Speaker 1: Front had to be on Front Street because basically the
Speaker 1: offense needed him, the offense needed him to sort of
Speaker 1: lead them, and with those young guys out there that
Speaker 1: haven't played a whole lot, he finally had a huddle
Speaker 1: where the weapons basically are relying upon him and his
Speaker 1: leadership to guide them where to go. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's been a lot of questions at times about you know,
Speaker 1: what type of leader is he? You know, do the
Speaker 1: guys want to following Listen, I think the guy has
Speaker 1: been a great leader since he's been here, but the
Speaker 1: fact that he had to go out and do this
Speaker 1: the way he's been able to do it. I think
Speaker 1: that's re established his hold in the locker room and
Speaker 1: his status in that locker room as a guy his
Speaker 1: teammates can trust and follow, and now they're all believing
Speaker 1: and showing the mental toughness to hear all of that
Speaker 1: noise from the outside of hasn't played this deep in
Speaker 1: the postseason or in December since his rookie year, hasn't
Speaker 1: won those big games with everything on the line. It's
Speaker 1: been somebody else that's done it well. He's been on
Speaker 1: the sidelines having all of that noise and having that
Speaker 1: narrative to be able to just remain unflappable, especially in
Speaker 1: the back of your mind when you're thinking, I get
Speaker 1: hurt this same time every year, and my gut, is
Speaker 1: it going to happen to me again? Whether anyone admits
Speaker 1: it or not, that's a part of the mental narrative,
Speaker 1: the tape that we hear that plays. To be able
Speaker 1: to be unflappable and have the adversity of the guys
Speaker 1: around you going down. There's so much there that he
Speaker 1: gets credit for it. Yeah, it's easy to kind of
Speaker 1: tell those stories to yourself in your head. The moment
Speaker 1: I go back to was week fifteen fourth quarter against Washington.
Speaker 1: You know, he fumbles the football in our own territory.
Speaker 1: He very easy could have said, like, man, like I
Speaker 1: did it again. We fumbled. I fumbled the football. I
Speaker 1: gave them the opportunity to score. Instead, he goes to
Speaker 1: the defense said, hey, pick me up, give me the
Speaker 1: ball back. I want to go and win this game.
Speaker 1: They forced a three and out. The kick a field goal.
Speaker 1: Washington is the game back up. He goes and leads
Speaker 1: the game, or leads a team on a game winning touchdown.
Speaker 1: I go back to that and say, that's, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole team. He's the shepherd of that team. He's
Speaker 1: the leader of that locker room, offense and defense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we are of course waiting for Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: and Carson wentz Um. We will be carrying those press
Speaker 1: conferences live. I'm sure they are doing some extra celebrating
Speaker 1: and the party hats and T shirts extra. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: we heard Brandon Graham earlier said this week we want
Speaker 1: those hats and T shirts and we also especially don't
Speaker 1: want Dallas to have them. So it's a win win
Speaker 1: there for the Eagles as well. Let's get into your
Speaker 1: third takeaway, Like My takeaway is just this team and
Speaker 1: how they've been able to come together the last three
Speaker 1: years to face what they faced at this time of
Speaker 1: the year and still be able to pull together again.
Speaker 1: It's just a true testament of the leadership on the team.
Speaker 1: And it starts at the top, like Fran mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: when you're talking about from the ownership to the front office,
Speaker 1: but it trickles down to the head coach, his coaching
Speaker 1: staff the way that they coach these guys up. They
Speaker 1: have to dig down, dig deep into that playbook to
Speaker 1: come up with ways to put these players not only
Speaker 1: in a position to help them be successful out there
Speaker 1: on the field as individuals, but trying to find schemes
Speaker 1: that they all can play together in from an offense
Speaker 1: and defensive standpoint, so that you can get to the
Speaker 1: level of player you want to have a chance to win.
Speaker 1: So when I look at this thing as a whole,
Speaker 1: it's the team as a whole, and then I go
Speaker 1: to the players, the veterans on this team that's been
Speaker 1: around here the last three years, that has playoff experience,
Speaker 1: that did what they did the Super Bowl year and
Speaker 1: then repeated it last year when Carson had to go
Speaker 1: out and Nick had to come in. Those are the
Speaker 1: guys that this team had to rely on to pull
Speaker 1: through this. Those are the guys that never wavered when
Speaker 1: you hear them do interviews week after week. Malcolm Jenkins,
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Lane Johnson before he was in
Speaker 1: your Jason Peters, Brandon Brooks before he was injo Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 1: These are all the guys that have been around here
Speaker 1: in the last three years. And these young guys that
Speaker 1: had to step in and play on the big stage
Speaker 1: they had never played on. Those are the guys that
Speaker 1: they were leaning on. So I just think my biggest
Speaker 1: takeaway is this is an entire team effort from from
Speaker 1: the top to the bottom. That's you don't you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't pull out of what they pulled out to
Speaker 1: this point unless everybody is on the same page. You
Speaker 1: know one thing that stands out. You mentioned a couple
Speaker 1: of those those names, right, Fletcher Cox, Malcolm Jenkins, And
Speaker 1: to me, I think about the turnovers in this game.
Speaker 1: Two turnovers for the Eagles defense, no turnovers for the
Speaker 1: Eagles offense. And I just look, I'm just looking at
Speaker 1: the stats here. You can go up and down this
Speaker 1: list to box score, it's pretty much fifty fifty when
Speaker 1: you look at what the Eagles were able to do
Speaker 1: and what the Giants were able to do. Total yards
Speaker 1: four hundred for the Eagles, three hundred ninety seven for
Speaker 1: the Giants. For yards per play five point six to
Speaker 1: five point five, rushing yards one twenty one to one
Speaker 1: twenty two passing our two seventy nine two seventy five.
Speaker 1: Turnover you would say, oh, this was a close game.
Speaker 1: The Eagles win thirty four to seventeen because of turnovers.
Speaker 1: And to your point, you look at Malcolm Jenkins, Fletcher Cocks.
Speaker 1: I think back to twenty seventeen and that Super Bowl run,
Speaker 1: and you know, back then it was all right, they
Speaker 1: have to lean on the guys that have been there before, right,
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins, Chris Marages, Tim Jernegan, the guys that had
Speaker 1: won Super Bowls in the past. Now, so many of
Speaker 1: those guys have they've done that, They've said, and not
Speaker 1: just lap that year, but twenty eighteen. What they were
Speaker 1: able to do to fight back and get into the postseason.
Speaker 1: This team is battle tested and that's something that's gonna
Speaker 1: make it them a team no one wants to come
Speaker 1: to the link and play this team, and I think
Speaker 1: that's gonna be on the minds whoever loses this game tonight.
Speaker 1: I think those turnovers were key, but especially the Fletcher
Speaker 1: Cocks fumble recovery that Malcolm Jenkins punching it out. I mean,
Speaker 1: I said before this game that if Daniel Jones fumble
Speaker 1: the ball, that was my key to this game. That
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was prone to fumble and if they could
Speaker 1: get him to do it that that would be a
Speaker 1: big That was my key to the game, and to me,
Speaker 1: that was the biggest momentum swing. So I think that
Speaker 1: whole concept when you talk about the resilience, but on
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, the defense having the offenses back,
Speaker 1: the offense having the defenses back. When the storyline of
Speaker 1: this game, when I see the Eagles get that touchdown,
Speaker 1: they go up seventeen to ten. On the very first
Speaker 1: play of the Giants drive, sa Quan goes for sixty
Speaker 1: eight yards, I'm thinking, Okay, well, now here goes the
Speaker 1: offense again. They get that field goal and you're still
Speaker 1: feeling uncomfortable. Then you get the forced fumble, the fumble recovery,
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox gets the ball to the two yard line,
Speaker 1: and that was again Malcolm Jenkins and Fletcher Cox stepping up.
Speaker 1: They're really smart also for Malcolm to go for the
Speaker 1: ball and not necessarily the tackle Fletcher to be able
Speaker 1: to get the ball, and then you got Boston Scott
Speaker 1: punching it in. To me, that was like the momentum
Speaker 1: swing to get the ten point difference there, but also
Speaker 1: kind of the storyline of this team's identity kind of
Speaker 1: in that little sequence there. I completely agree to me
Speaker 1: that the turning point of the game, and it gave
Speaker 1: you a two score lead. Not only that, um, it
Speaker 1: forced the Giants to almost be one dimensional now. And
Speaker 1: then that's when you started seeing all the sacks. It
Speaker 1: was like meet me at the quarterback. You know, everybody
Speaker 1: was getting a sack after that because the Giants became
Speaker 1: one dimensional and their offensive line has struggled all year
Speaker 1: long to protect their quarterbacks. Yeah, that's when the game
Speaker 1: was flipped on his head, and it was because of
Speaker 1: the defense, right, It was because of what the defense
Speaker 1: was doing, and that play there from Malcolm Jenkins and
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox. It's only fitting when you talk about needing
Speaker 1: your leaders to step up. Brandon Graham what do you
Speaker 1: have three sacks today? Two sacks today? He was huge
Speaker 1: day as well, at fifth in sacks and Eagles history
Speaker 1: career year in sacks, I believe from Brandon Graham it
Speaker 1: finally got over the double digits. I believe. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable that he hasn't gotten there yet. But it
Speaker 1: was great to see that that side of the ball
Speaker 1: came to play too. They came to play as well.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a low scoring game for much
Speaker 1: of the game and you kind of knew that. And
Speaker 1: the Giants if they keep throwing the ball, eventually here
Speaker 1: on the hit on some of these plays and then say, Quan,
Speaker 1: how long can you bottle him up? Man? He went
Speaker 1: from zero to sixty five miles per hour in a
Speaker 1: blink of an eye. He's a home run hitter. But
Speaker 1: I love the fact that the defense and Jim Schwartz
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily start getting conservative. They almost turned up the
Speaker 1: heat on the New York Giants. Having Malcolm being at
Speaker 1: extra blitzer, Rodney McCleod being at extra blitzer, I think
Speaker 1: really rattled that Giant's offensive line people too. Oh for
Speaker 1: two in the red zone, the girl dresser, they were
Speaker 1: able to see that bend but don't break philosophy kind
Speaker 1: of show up there as well. That really isn't a
Speaker 1: part of this Eagles defensive identity. I was gonna say
Speaker 1: Russell Douglas had you know, it was a little up
Speaker 1: and down out there, but he had some nice pass
Speaker 1: breakups where played the ball well, didn't panic at the
Speaker 1: one pass an Afferen's call at their golden take to
Speaker 1: scored the touchdown. But and honestly, had he turned around,
Speaker 1: he could have batted that ball away. Also, um I
Speaker 1: thought he played a nice game to day and then
Speaker 1: Craig von le Block. I mean, how many big tips
Speaker 1: did he had to day where he broke up passes
Speaker 1: on third down? Now standing pass break up on the
Speaker 1: first half. You said you saw Sidney Jones with the
Speaker 1: interview Jones all these guys again, it just goes back
Speaker 1: to the next man up, like you go. You come
Speaker 1: in without Ronald, without Ronald Darby, without Jalen Mills, and
Speaker 1: those guys step up and make big place. Sidney Jones,
Speaker 1: I sa the game for the second we can grow
Speaker 1: and you talk about look being ready when your number
Speaker 1: is called and you get it in the first Giants game,
Speaker 1: Sydney Jones. Look at that. A couple of big plays.
Speaker 1: I believe we're getting close to coach Doug Peterson talking.
Speaker 1: Also want to give a little love to Brandon Graham
Speaker 1: because he went out with the injury and then came
Speaker 1: back in and continued to make big plays. All Right,
Speaker 1: I know this is going to be T shirt on. Man,
Speaker 1: probably he's not coming out with a T shirt on.
Speaker 1: Come on, he got the hat on. All right. I
Speaker 1: know you should have been in there. You should have
Speaker 1: been in there because it was it was it was excitement.
Speaker 1: It was guys dancing, the music was going, guys are excited, um,
Speaker 1: and and it's just it's a great feeling. You know.
Speaker 1: We set out back in July. This was this was
Speaker 1: obviously one of many of our goals this season. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we can check this box. But uh,
Speaker 1: what I love about this football team is is how
Speaker 1: how we we've we've stuck together the entire season, um,
Speaker 1: through through all the ups and downs, through all the injuries,
Speaker 1: we've battled, We've we put ourselves in this position to
Speaker 1: win the NFC East. We've done that. But but again,
Speaker 1: what what I see from our players is they're they're
Speaker 1: already talking about next week and coming to work this
Speaker 1: week and preparing for next week, and and it just
Speaker 1: tells me that the guys are in the right frame
Speaker 1: of mine. Having all that happened, mak you feel better
Speaker 1: to overcome everything that you had to overcome this year.
Speaker 1: I mean it does, you know, in a way. But
Speaker 1: but for me too personally. I mean we still have hopefully,
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully a lot of football left and and um,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just so happy for the guys, for
Speaker 1: the coaches for what they've had to endure dealing with
Speaker 1: you guys all the time, and and and and you know,
Speaker 1: battling through that. But um, this is one of our
Speaker 1: goals obviously, and and im and I'm happy and I'm
Speaker 1: excited and all that, but uh, we get to continue
Speaker 1: to play. I think of the art of this season, Doug,
Speaker 1: in the job that you yourself have done. What are
Speaker 1: you most proud of? Me? You know? I just think
Speaker 1: just uh, staying consistent with the players. I think, just
Speaker 1: uh getting them to believe in themselves, you know, honestly, Uh,
Speaker 1: through through all the different adversities and and things that
Speaker 1: we've faced through the different you know, the amount of
Speaker 1: injuries that are piled up, and the next guy, and
Speaker 1: then promoting all the practice squad players and and just
Speaker 1: sort of for me, just kind of keeping everybody on
Speaker 1: the same page. I think that's the that's the most
Speaker 1: proud that that I feel with these with these guys
Speaker 1: and leaning on the leadership of the football team and
Speaker 1: the veterans and um, leaning on the coaching staff and
Speaker 1: and uh just trying, you know, and in this business,
Speaker 1: we have to trust a lot of people. And uh, um,
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm most proud about. You went into
Speaker 1: this game obviously with so many guys out, Zack didn't play,
Speaker 1: and then halfway through the game, Miles goes down, Brandon
Speaker 1: goes down. Are you thinking to yourself sort of here
Speaker 1: we go again with I mean, in the back of
Speaker 1: my mind, it did cross, you know, in my mind, like, man,
Speaker 1: when when can we get it catch a break? You
Speaker 1: know with some of these injuries. But uh, you know
Speaker 1: it's just Boston stepped up. Um, you know, Vinnie stepped up,
Speaker 1: Derek stepped up. I mean, you can just go right
Speaker 1: down the list with the guys and um, you know,
Speaker 1: just that's I guess that for me That's what I'm
Speaker 1: most proud about. It's how these guys respond, think preliminary
Speaker 1: when either Sanders or pros not not yet. Um, obviously
Speaker 1: we'll get more tomorrow when we get him in and
Speaker 1: get him checked out. But nothing, nothing at this point.
Speaker 1: Does this feel different from two years ago? I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: at the end of the regular season two years two,
Speaker 1: you already knew you were in and so you didn't
Speaker 1: have to play your way in like this. But does
Speaker 1: this feel sort of like the adversity you didn't have
Speaker 1: your quarterback then? Just time that's almost all you gotta
Speaker 1: aside from your first bowing guys, I mean, how does
Speaker 1: the field I mean, yeah, I mean it feels it
Speaker 1: feels great obviously. Um, you know, I can remember back
Speaker 1: to seventeen and we were the number one seed and
Speaker 1: at the time, I think we were the worst number
Speaker 1: one seed quite honestly, and we had we didn't have
Speaker 1: a shot and as a one seed. So you know,
Speaker 1: now we're we're a division winner. We're what the four
Speaker 1: seed I guess, and probably still don't have a shot.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. Um, We're gonna go to work this
Speaker 1: week and prepare whoever we get and um get to
Speaker 1: play in front of our fans, um next weekend, and
Speaker 1: that's uh, everybody's record is zero zero, So that's that's
Speaker 1: what we focus on. The only there's a point during
Speaker 1: this skip for Dallas conference really the only uh guy
Speaker 1: on the field, skill skill player on the field that
Speaker 1: was on the active roster week one. So what does
Speaker 1: that kind of say about Carson Wentz and his ability
Speaker 1: to sort of adapt by the guys that have come
Speaker 1: in and be able to produce. But you know, all
Speaker 1: these new faces, UM, I'll tell you this, Carson's part
Speaker 1: of it. But I commend my coaching staff on offense.
Speaker 1: I commend Mike Row for putting plans together to help
Speaker 1: these players play and be successful, Carson Walsh for putting
Speaker 1: him in the right positions to be successful. For Justin
Speaker 1: Peel to coach up the tight ends in the run
Speaker 1: run game and the you know the past game and
Speaker 1: you know dudes to get to get Boston Scott caught
Speaker 1: up to speed and um, you know coach stoutlind To
Speaker 1: to get to get him at prior ready to go,
Speaker 1: to get a Nate herbig ready to go. You know,
Speaker 1: that's that's where it starts. And so that's that's what
Speaker 1: I'm the most proud of is my staff. Carson. Carson's
Speaker 1: a part of it, right, Um, and and you know
Speaker 1: he is he is really I think what we've seen
Speaker 1: here in the last month is how he's really embraced
Speaker 1: his role. How he's sort of you know, grown up,
Speaker 1: you know, with our offense, with with playing this game
Speaker 1: and and uh just uh, you know, helping us, helping
Speaker 1: us win these I think so I think he's grown
Speaker 1: up as a leader of this team. Um, you've seen
Speaker 1: it here now the last couple of games. How he's
Speaker 1: really just put the team on his back and said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, follow me. And I think that's a sign
Speaker 1: of growth and a sign of maturity. I spent eight
Speaker 1: years in Green Bay with Brett Farve, and that's what
Speaker 1: Brett did. Brett just put the team on his back
Speaker 1: when when the Chips were against us, and and uh
Speaker 1: he said, hey, follow me. And that's what Carson can do.
Speaker 1: And um, the guys really, you know, and I have
Speaker 1: so much faith and trust in him that I can
Speaker 1: call almost any play and um, you know, he's either
Speaker 1: gonna make that one work or he's gonna get us
Speaker 1: into a better play. And so he's really grown up
Speaker 1: that way and really matured that way in this league
Speaker 1: and uh uh just just really turned into a into
Speaker 1: a pro. The've been the younger players believing in him,
Speaker 1: Boston Scott and others, you know. And and they that's
Speaker 1: the thing is they look I mean, I mean, Carson's
Speaker 1: only year four, and they're looking up to him like
Speaker 1: he's a you know, he's a twelve year vet. And
Speaker 1: and um, I think that they they look to him
Speaker 1: for that leadership, for that guidance, for you know, help
Speaker 1: me when I'm on the field. And that's what we
Speaker 1: see during practice during the week, that's what we see
Speaker 1: during games. Um and and that's been that's been sort
Speaker 1: of our I think a little bit of our success
Speaker 1: here down down the stretch, high leverage situations for Carson
Speaker 1: though you can talk about his talent what he did
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, but now that he's been in these
Speaker 1: situations and performed in them, how does that help us developed?
Speaker 1: Well else, Like I said, I mean, he just I
Speaker 1: think it just uh it elevates his performance. Um uh,
Speaker 1: it allows the guys around him to to just be
Speaker 1: who they are, um and and um and quite honestly,
Speaker 1: just just be able to just run the offense as
Speaker 1: as as we put it together, you know, during the week,
Speaker 1: and he's got it. He still has a lot of
Speaker 1: input on that, you know, how guys line up, where
Speaker 1: they line up in things of that nature, and just um,
Speaker 1: you know, we're seeing that again, we're seeing that maturity
Speaker 1: and that growth in him, and he's really, uh, he's
Speaker 1: really become, you know, a very elite quarterback in this league.
Speaker 1: After Barckey the score is that touched it? Did you
Speaker 1: see a renewed effort or you're keeping the comment, Hey, look,
Speaker 1: let's put this game away right now. Which one after
Speaker 1: Barker's touchdown round the big ones, it's about to time
Speaker 1: back up? Yeah, yeah, I mean we felt like we
Speaker 1: went down and scored and I think it went up
Speaker 1: seventeen ten, and felt like we had a little momentum
Speaker 1: and little energy and man that that of course, you know,
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous back obviously, and got a lot of
Speaker 1: respect for him, and and uh, just he they scored,
Speaker 1: and you know, we said, hey, we we just got
Speaker 1: to keep going, you know, keep keep playing, and we
Speaker 1: knew something was gonna go our way. Hopefully in this game.
Speaker 1: And um, we just kept trusting each other and and
Speaker 1: and put some drives together and and uh, defense, defense
Speaker 1: hung in there. Um you know, got a big turn
Speaker 1: over there, you know that that set up another touchdown,
Speaker 1: so you know, all the piece just kind of came together.
Speaker 1: I think after that touchdown run, both JJ and Jordan
Speaker 1: Howard were active but didn't play very much with that
Speaker 1: result of injuries. Um a little, a little. I want
Speaker 1: to be protective of those guys. Um, we don't have
Speaker 1: any bodies left, you know, so I want to be
Speaker 1: as protective as I can and make sure these guys
Speaker 1: are healthy now, at least healthy enough, you know going
Speaker 1: into these next this next week at least so Okay,
Speaker 1: Coach Doug Peterson rock in the hat, but of course,
Speaker 1: you know, wanting to act like you've been there before
Speaker 1: because he has. Um. We did get a little glimpse
Speaker 1: on social media of the Eagles T shirts that's say
Speaker 1: the East is not enough. Gotta love that mentality, right, guys, Yep, yeah,
Speaker 1: this They won what wanted two out of the last
Speaker 1: three years, so they certainly know what it's like to
Speaker 1: want a division. You enjoy the T shirts, but uh,
Speaker 1: I haven't been in that position. Yeah, you know, the
Speaker 1: division is just the first yeah, right, and just locks
Speaker 1: you into the playoffs. But teams that have the veterans
Speaker 1: that this team has, they aren't going to be satisfied
Speaker 1: with just winning a division. They want to see how
Speaker 1: far they can take this. They they're starting to like
Speaker 1: the way winning fields a year, Right, It's been a
Speaker 1: struggle all year to put together, to stretch they put together,
Speaker 1: it's obviously the best stretch of football they played all year,
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty sure they want to see how far
Speaker 1: they can take this thing. Jason Peters isn't happy with
Speaker 1: the division T shirt. No, he wants to be in
Speaker 1: Miami about a month. Cool, guys, Well, when we all
Speaker 1: like to be in Miami and pou Yes, what was
Speaker 1: I going to say? I also loved how coach talked
Speaker 1: about how he's seen Carson developed a point where he
Speaker 1: can trust Carson enough to call any play knowing that
Speaker 1: either they can execute it or Carson is going to
Speaker 1: make a smart call out of that. How big is that?
Speaker 1: Just the dynamic between these two. But to say I
Speaker 1: totally trust this guy is not something every team in
Speaker 1: the NFL has. I think it goes to back to
Speaker 1: that two play sequence that we talked about where they
Speaker 1: go deep ball shot play to Robert Davis at the
Speaker 1: end of the third quarter. Something coaches make say, hell,
Speaker 1: you know that one didn't work. All right, let's let's
Speaker 1: just run the ball. Let's go quick game, We'll go
Speaker 1: We'll go back to that very next play. The Peters says, nope,
Speaker 1: let's go foot on the gas and they go back
Speaker 1: to another shot playoff play action, just again putting faith
Speaker 1: in Carson and putting faith in those guys in the
Speaker 1: receiving end as well, Deontay Burnett and Robert Davis on
Speaker 1: the receiving end of both those two passes. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think what you're seeing as a coach that you know,
Speaker 1: he's obviously been the only coach Carson has had over
Speaker 1: the last four years. But you know, Doug has also
Speaker 1: had to adjust his offense the last three years right
Speaker 1: under this team, So, you know, trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what Carson likes, what he does well, where he can
Speaker 1: get the most out of Carson as a quarterback. It's
Speaker 1: been a evolving process, right, and when you don't have
Speaker 1: certain players every week, it's difficult for a coach to
Speaker 1: go from Deshaun Jackson, Alshon, Jeffrey Nelson, Aguilar zach Ertz,
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, Jordan Howard and Male Sanders week one to
Speaker 1: what they have now. So plays you may have thought
Speaker 1: you could run based on the personnel you had. With Carson,
Speaker 1: you had to adjust on the fly. And I think
Speaker 1: there was a middle portion of the season where the
Speaker 1: offense struggle, and I think there was a difficulty in
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what plays will work well, trying
Speaker 1: to balance the offense from a running game or a
Speaker 1: passing game. And then how do we get the most
Speaker 1: out of Carson. You know, this kid has a big arm,
Speaker 1: so you don't want it to be a dink and
Speaker 1: dunk offense. You want to push the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: And how do we get to that. How do we
Speaker 1: get him in situations where he can throw the ball
Speaker 1: down the field and we can have some chunk plays.
Speaker 1: For about a month we saw nothing past twenty yards,
Speaker 1: And for the last month you're seeing plays with guys
Speaker 1: I never thought would catch balls over twenty five yards
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. Believable, But I think just the familiar familiarity
Speaker 1: and the more you learn about your players, the more
Speaker 1: where you figure out what you can do with them.
Speaker 1: So it's a it's been an every week evolving process
Speaker 1: for he and his coaching staff. With Carson, well, I
Speaker 1: think a part of it, like we always talk about,
Speaker 1: is taking what the defense gives you, and it's something
Speaker 1: Doug always emphasizes with Carson, and I think you're key
Speaker 1: to the game taking advantage of the giant secondary and
Speaker 1: how young they are. We really saw saw that today
Speaker 1: and I believe we are about to hear from Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz himself as approaching the podium, who is going to
Speaker 1: be making his first postseason appearance next week. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he is very excited to hear that after putting the
Speaker 1: team on his back and getting it done with a
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who at the beginning of this season,
Speaker 1: no one expected this offense to look like it does,
Speaker 1: and Carson continues to silence the doubters. In the midst
Speaker 1: of all the criticism about who he is. He continues
Speaker 1: to put this team on his back and get some
Speaker 1: wins a four game win streak to put the Eagles
Speaker 1: into the postseason. We are about to hear from Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz playing December football for the first time in three years,
Speaker 1: taking his team to the postseason. I know there are
Speaker 1: so many personal victories for him in this win today,
Speaker 1: and he's going to be coming soon. I know there's
Speaker 1: a lot of celebrating going on in that locker room.
Speaker 1: Let's see what he's rocking today. Do you think he
Speaker 1: has the T shirt, the hat, the hat and the
Speaker 1: suit gone. You played the full season and made it
Speaker 1: through the playoffs, and what was this moment meaning for you?
Speaker 1: Tring everything you've been through. I'm just grateful, you know.
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for my health. I'm grateful to be out
Speaker 1: here with the guys in these big, meaningful games. M
Speaker 1: grateful to be playing into January. Uh, you know, the
Speaker 1: last few weeks have been uh, you know, backs against
Speaker 1: the wall force and guys have responded and it stepped
Speaker 1: up and kept making playoff to playoff for play and
Speaker 1: just kept believing, kept believing. And here we are, you know,
Speaker 1: playing in January and hopefully we can do something special now.
Speaker 1: It hasn't been easy. All the injuries you guys hadn't
Speaker 1: more today. Um, when you look back at it, how
Speaker 1: much have you tried to just be a leader throughout
Speaker 1: all this. Yeah, I think that's what makes it, you know,
Speaker 1: that was more special. Um is the camaraderie and the
Speaker 1: guys just buying in and believing, you know, buying in, believing,
Speaker 1: and you know, whether that's guys on the defense side,
Speaker 1: offensive side. Um, we've had we've had new playmakers almost
Speaker 1: every week, you know, different guys stepping up because guys
Speaker 1: are getting hurt and banged up, and um, it's just
Speaker 1: fun to see guys you know, show up in big
Speaker 1: moments like that that you know, maybe last year on
Speaker 1: the practice squad, you know, and for them to step
Speaker 1: up and the way they have and the way guys
Speaker 1: have been making plays, it's been so cool to see.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it makes it that much
Speaker 1: more fun to do what we did and and hopefully
Speaker 1: we can go do something special. Like I said, Carson, personally,
Speaker 1: for you, what does it mean to get to this
Speaker 1: point finally and to do it with, let's be honest,
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys who we're on the practice squad
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, like I said, I mean, I'm just grateful,
Speaker 1: extremely grateful to be healthy and to be out here
Speaker 1: playing in these meaningful games. Um, you know, and I
Speaker 1: know the guys are are fired up. You know, we're
Speaker 1: fired up. You know, it's been a it was quite
Speaker 1: the season, you know for us, the regular season with
Speaker 1: a lot of ups and downs, and the way we
Speaker 1: responded late in the year with our backs against the
Speaker 1: wall to to do what we did and to get
Speaker 1: in this moment. Uh, you know, I think guys are
Speaker 1: thankful for it, but we're still hungry give it out.
Speaker 1: Hungry you said you are. You guys might be going
Speaker 1: into the playoffs the worst record in the NFC, but
Speaker 1: given the last few weeks and the confidence have been building,
Speaker 1: does that mean you can da the team? I mean,
Speaker 1: i'd say, come playoff time, records don't matter, you know,
Speaker 1: records don't matter. They all go out the window. And
Speaker 1: you know, we're also grateful maybe playing a home game
Speaker 1: next week too, so hopefully fans show up and have
Speaker 1: quite the rock and atmosphere next week. Starters, you already
Speaker 1: were coming into the game and then you see a
Speaker 1: couple more to go down a mile man, Is it
Speaker 1: because you've been dealing with this the whole time that
Speaker 1: it's not a state of shock? Yeah, I mean partially.
Speaker 1: I mean you've just seen injuries here and there, and um,
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys have been in these moments already.
Speaker 1: You know, Prior had a couple of weeks ago against
Speaker 1: Seattle he had to come in out of out of
Speaker 1: the blue like that, and um, you know, Boston's been ready,
Speaker 1: He's been making plays for a while now, and um,
Speaker 1: we just lean more on him and just guys just
Speaker 1: keep stepping up, you know. So it's especially in mid game.
Speaker 1: You don't have time to worry about it or stress
Speaker 1: about it. It's hey, plug and play, let's go, you know.
Speaker 1: And and guys kept kept making plays, and it was
Speaker 1: cool to see you have a moment after the game
Speaker 1: with Doug to talk about or at least reflected at
Speaker 1: all on what you got just real quick. I'm sure
Speaker 1: we will you know, this week or I should say
Speaker 1: tonight here. But it's just cool. You know, he's been
Speaker 1: believing in all of us and just kept preaching belief
Speaker 1: in each other and in the coaches, and everyone just
Speaker 1: bought in and trusted everybody, and um, it's been pretty cool,
Speaker 1: right of course. And this game was fight seventeen all
Speaker 1: and you talked about belief. I mean, you guys believe
Speaker 1: it that quick. That you were going to find a
Speaker 1: way to win this game. Absolutely. You know, guys never
Speaker 1: hung their heads. Um, you know, sake one had that
Speaker 1: long run and offense, let's let's go get it out
Speaker 1: of them, you know. In defense obviously they're frustrated by it,
Speaker 1: but you can see it in their eyes. They were
Speaker 1: gonna go make place, you know. And so we went
Speaker 1: down and scored. Um they had the big stop, the
Speaker 1: big turnover, and um, guys just fed off that emotion
Speaker 1: and that momentum and uh, you know, forty knew it
Speaker 1: was what was it thirty four? Um, seventeen. So that
Speaker 1: was pretty cool the way guys rallied around each other
Speaker 1: last time the NFC East. You were right healthy? Does
Speaker 1: it feel different? And how much better right now to
Speaker 1: celebrate with the guys that's a healthy guy. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: like I said, I can't say it enough. I'm just
Speaker 1: grateful to be healthy. You know. I think the last
Speaker 1: few years they give you time to reflect and really
Speaker 1: think about this. So it's there's moments like this that
Speaker 1: I definitely don't take for granted. Um that I'm very
Speaker 1: grateful to be out there with my guys. And we're
Speaker 1: playing in January and I'm thankful for that heard you
Speaker 1: that it was sort of the inverse. You were healthy,
Speaker 1: but nobody else was. Hey, that's been the story ever
Speaker 1: since I got in the league. You know, it's been
Speaker 1: the next man up every year. You've seen the adversity
Speaker 1: that we've dealt with, and guys keep doing a great
Speaker 1: job stepping up. And like I've been saying, you know,
Speaker 1: we're excited to hopefully go go make some noise over
Speaker 1: the last four games, you've really had to win almost
Speaker 1: all these games in the fourth quarter. Was the belief
Speaker 1: building that first Giants game, you still when you're missing
Speaker 1: a lot of guys, and then you have to distill
Speaker 1: that belief and everybody, Um, I mean that was obviously
Speaker 1: a big turning point. You could say, I'm just the
Speaker 1: way we had had a terrible first half offensively, and
Speaker 1: it was hey, vaccines the wall and um, you could
Speaker 1: you could argue from then on, it's just that belief
Speaker 1: in everybody, um, and trusting everybody that no matter who's
Speaker 1: out there, they're gonna make the play. And that's me
Speaker 1: trusting them, throwing them the ball, um, guys, trusting me
Speaker 1: with what I'm route I'm giving them and everything in between. Um,
Speaker 1: it's been fun to see guys buy in and keep
Speaker 1: making play. NFC is not enough. I mean he could
Speaker 1: have just said Champs. Yeah. I mean I first of all,
Speaker 1: didn't design the shirt, but I think its first three. Um.
Speaker 1: I think my wife's probably mad I'm not wearing this
Speaker 1: suit full suits she picked out. But UM no, I
Speaker 1: mean we're still hungry, you know. I think that's that's
Speaker 1: concept is we're still hungry. We're not done. Um, and
Speaker 1: you know, we're extremely pumped in and thrilled about this
Speaker 1: win here, but we'll enjoy tonight, but we're back at
Speaker 1: it tomorrow. You guys, about a lot of success the
Speaker 1: beast few weeks. Um, getting those trunk plays, especially in
Speaker 1: the passing game today downfield, what do you think that's
Speaker 1: a functional? Um, you know, kind of evaluate that that area?
Speaker 1: Good game? Yeah, Um, first of all, great play design, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and and teams, I mean it seems every
Speaker 1: week they just keep getting safeties, keep getting lower and lower,
Speaker 1: and for us, it's all right, we got to find
Speaker 1: a way, you know. And coach had some great play
Speaker 1: designs to get me out of pocket and push the
Speaker 1: ball down the field. And guys made some great plays,
Speaker 1: made some great plays, and that's something that we got
Speaker 1: to keep taking advantage of. Talk about the throw of
Speaker 1: Perkins on the touchdown past, but you kind of had
Speaker 1: to throw it a long way there when didn't you
Speaker 1: see him? I mean that that wasn't I imagined the
Speaker 1: first read well they had they had to cover pretty well,
Speaker 1: and that was the play design. Um. It just wasn't
Speaker 1: supposed to happen that that late. Um, Like I said,
Speaker 1: they had a covered pretty well. But Purchase kep running
Speaker 1: and out round the coverage and it is pretty sweet.
Speaker 1: It is Seattle that you play next week. What is
Speaker 1: it about that that first meeting that you remember? I
Speaker 1: wish you could have back again. I just just remember
Speaker 1: the turnovers, you know, I thought offensively, I thought we
Speaker 1: did some decent things. We just gave him the ball,
Speaker 1: you know, and and those are things that that we'll
Speaker 1: get cleaned up. And we're excited for the opportunity of
Speaker 1: whoever may be. And like I said, we're pumped that
Speaker 1: it's at home. You know, we're gonna take advantage of
Speaker 1: that team and we're gonna have some fun next weekend.
Speaker 1: When he was in here, mentioned his coaching staff and
Speaker 1: how how he was and then forgetting all the moving
Speaker 1: parts ready. You just mentioned the play calling. What has
Speaker 1: Mike Crowd done for you over these best weeks? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Coach Crow does a trend's job every week, you know,
Speaker 1: putting together's offense really um and and started it starts
Speaker 1: with him obviously offensively and Coach Peterson and then each
Speaker 1: position coach has done a great job making sure of
Speaker 1: these young guys and all these new faces and different
Speaker 1: things going on, moving pieces that we have, making sure
Speaker 1: guys are locked in on the on their task and
Speaker 1: ready to make plays. And um coaches have done an
Speaker 1: amazing job, you know, and just finding what guys do
Speaker 1: best and putting in those situations and to make big plays.
Speaker 1: And you've seen that the last few weeks. Did you
Speaker 1: ever big guys you've been throwing to like you know
Speaker 1: what you playoffs on the line, you know, Dion d
Speaker 1: Burnett you forty one yard We're going to touch John
Speaker 1: Bustin Scott too sweet past crazy. Yeah, Like I said,
Speaker 1: I just think it makes it that my sweeter. You
Speaker 1: know that that guys have been UM. Obviously, you don't
Speaker 1: want injuries, You never want to deal with injuries, but
Speaker 1: it's part of football and for for a lot of
Speaker 1: these guys, UM, coming from a practice squad, being young,
Speaker 1: you know, the journeys that a lot of them have
Speaker 1: been on. I think it makes it that much sweeter
Speaker 1: to be a part of guys doing you know, doing
Speaker 1: this stuff and doing something special together and buying in UM.
Speaker 1: And again, I think it's it's pretty cool watching the
Speaker 1: postseason for the the last two years, I learned that I
Speaker 1: was hungry to get out there, you know that more
Speaker 1: than anything, it was frustrating to watch UM for me personally,
Speaker 1: But like I said, I'm grateful for this opportunity and
Speaker 1: we're gonna make most of it. This is two years
Speaker 1: as a relative Carson, you guys have hit your peek
Speaker 1: again of the year. Well, what is it about the team,
Speaker 1: the infrastructure that's not that can't be a coincidence? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, first of all, it's a great
Speaker 1: time to to be hitting our stride for one UM,
Speaker 1: you know. And and obviously, like we said that, there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of ups and downs and different things
Speaker 1: all season long. UM, but guys are hung together and
Speaker 1: I really finding what we're good at and what we're
Speaker 1: what we do well. UM And putting guys in the
Speaker 1: right situations and so guys just keep believing, fighting, Um,
Speaker 1: and it's been cool to see us, you know, hit
Speaker 1: our stride now and hopefully we've been carried over into
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Thank you guys. All right, it certainly is
Speaker 1: a great time to be hitting our stride. You know
Speaker 1: what they say about teams that play well in December,
Speaker 1: they usually do pretty well, Uh do pretty well? Um, period.
Speaker 1: Of course, we love that that look Carson was rocking
Speaker 1: the East is not enough with the NFC East Championship
Speaker 1: had on. Here's a look in the locker room after
Speaker 1: this victory. I wish I could feel this, uh feel
Speaker 1: the energy and uh you know, kind of smell the
Speaker 1: air a little bit like playing in the backroom rereams
Speaker 1: and night of course, as its tradition for the Eagles
Speaker 1: as well. Um, look at this, gotta love it. Look
Speaker 1: at these guys. These are the guys that these are
Speaker 1: the guys that got this team here. They have got
Speaker 1: to be so proud and so excited. Um. I just
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine just the jubilation that is going
Speaker 1: on in that locker room and throughout the Eagles fan base.
Speaker 1: All right, speaking of jubile lation. You know who is
Speaker 1: probably pretty jubilant today. My favorite merrill reathe. We have
Speaker 1: our compilation Merril cam from this exciting Eagles win over
Speaker 1: the Giants. Let's take a look. Daniel Jones calling for
Speaker 1: the football. He's back, he's looking, He fires and it's
Speaker 1: incomplete broken up. Great play by Provin le Blanc. Knocking
Speaker 1: the ball and tended for take away. Slaton out to
Speaker 1: the far side, slot to the near side. Third and
Speaker 1: eight for the Giants. Ball at their own twenty seven.
Speaker 1: In the gun, Daniel Jones. Jones takes the snap and
Speaker 1: back pedals again. He steps up, he's looking, he's head.
Speaker 1: They've got him inside the fifteen. Brandon Graham tackle for
Speaker 1: loss and sack Wentz in the gun. He fakes, he looks,
Speaker 1: He screens at the Scott who leaps and makes the catch,
Speaker 1: beats his man forty forty five fifty forty five, forty
Speaker 1: down to the thirty five goes dynamic Boston Scott went
Speaker 1: on center, Scott behind him. On first down, Wentz fakes
Speaker 1: to Scott, he's rolling, he's looking, still rolling, fires across
Speaker 1: the field and it has caught for a touchdown. Josh Perkins.
Speaker 1: Josh Perkins a twenty four yard touchdown pass from Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: who only threw it from about to twenty five, but
Speaker 1: he threw it forty seven yards across the field whiteside
Speaker 1: and ward to the far side, and the gun Wentz
Speaker 1: Scott to his right, first in goal ball at the seven.
Speaker 1: Wins comes back, gives it to Scott again. He is pushing.
Speaker 1: He is in for a touchdown. Boston Scott did it.
Speaker 1: Jones calling for the football, he fumbles it, he is hit.
Speaker 1: The football is fumbled. The Eagles are after it and
Speaker 1: it is picked up again and it is recovered down
Speaker 1: at the one by Fletcher Cox. Fletcher Cox at the
Speaker 1: one yard line as Daniel Jones lost the football for
Speaker 1: the eleventh fiveless season, and the gun Daniel Jones, the
Speaker 1: former Duke star backs up, steps up head and Danny
Speaker 1: goes again at the twenty. He sacked by Derek Porland.
Speaker 1: It does not get better than that, right there, all right?
Speaker 1: As always might quick one on one with head coach
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson after the game, Let's take a look, coach,
Speaker 1: Congratulations on being the NFC East champ. Do you get
Speaker 1: to enjoy this at all? Oh? Do you just right
Speaker 1: back to work. You know, obviously we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: enjoy it for maybe twelve hours or so, honestly, and
Speaker 1: we are excited where we're thrilled to death to to
Speaker 1: what we've gone through this season to be the NFC
Speaker 1: East champs and put ourselves in the postseason. But you
Speaker 1: know what I'm most proud of is how these guys
Speaker 1: are continuing to talk about the upcoming week and going
Speaker 1: and preparing again this week. And um, that's the exciting
Speaker 1: part for me. So we'll get back, we'll we'll watch
Speaker 1: this tape, we'll make the corrections, and we'll find out
Speaker 1: who we're going to play next weekend and and prepare. Well.
Speaker 1: You talk about the ups and downs of this season,
Speaker 1: how do you continue to do it with all of
Speaker 1: the losses, all the things you've dealt with? You know,
Speaker 1: I lean on you know, Mike growm coordinator UH and
Speaker 1: my coaching staff really UH to put a lot of
Speaker 1: these pieces together and a lot of these players, you know,
Speaker 1: in the right spots, and we got a lot of
Speaker 1: young players, and and then and then for Carson Walsh
Speaker 1: to keep coaching these guys and do stayley to coach,
Speaker 1: the young players that we got and you know, Justin
Speaker 1: Peel has a couple of new tight ends that are playing,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, my hat's off to that, to
Speaker 1: my staff, and they deserve a lot of credit for
Speaker 1: forgetting these guys ready to go and mentally prepared more
Speaker 1: than physically, because I mean that's that's a lot of
Speaker 1: it this time of year. So and then for me,
Speaker 1: it's just about just I gotta stay consistent with the
Speaker 1: entire team. My messaging has to be consistent. I gotta
Speaker 1: get them to believe in themselves number one, and that
Speaker 1: we could get the job done. Fourteen minutes left in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, who was tied seventeen seventeen? You go
Speaker 1: on to real off seven team points. How big was
Speaker 1: the defense in that second half? Defense stepped up really
Speaker 1: big there in the fourth quarter. Um, you know, got
Speaker 1: a couple turnovers for us, obviously put us in great
Speaker 1: field position, Um, you know to score one drive. Then
Speaker 1: we had a long third down screen pass the Boston
Speaker 1: that set up another one. And then of course Sydney
Speaker 1: at the end with the interception. So you know, that's
Speaker 1: just what it takes. It takes, Uh, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of couple of plays here and there to swing
Speaker 1: your way and the momentum changes, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: offense did offense did enough, you know, got in the
Speaker 1: end zone when we had to and uh just again
Speaker 1: a great team win. What do you think caused Daniels
Speaker 1: to hold on to the football as much as he did?
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones many times he was pumping the football and
Speaker 1: you're able to get sex on him, gets on him.
Speaker 1: I think it credit goes to the secondary. The guys
Speaker 1: were really kind of swarming and blanketing the receivers and
Speaker 1: and that's just what happens when the guys aren't open,
Speaker 1: you end up pulling the ball, you know as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And and and so we were able to get to him.
Speaker 1: The pass rush you know was generated. We got hits
Speaker 1: on him and obviously it caused it caused them one
Speaker 1: fumble which we capitalize on. Offense. Sidney Jones now for
Speaker 1: three weeks in a road duck, he's come up with
Speaker 1: big plays on the back end of the defense. Got
Speaker 1: to feel proud of Sydney from what Yeah, all that
Speaker 1: he's gone through, Yeah, what he's battled through to come
Speaker 1: in here, and he's playing with a lot of confidence.
Speaker 1: A lot of our young players are really stepping up.
Speaker 1: He's one of them, um, And to see what he's
Speaker 1: done here now, this this last half of the season
Speaker 1: or last month of the season, to make these types
Speaker 1: of plays. These are you know, these are these are
Speaker 1: pressure situations, and we know that teams are going to
Speaker 1: target you know, Sydney, They're gonna target result, They're gonna
Speaker 1: go after our young dbs. And and yet they keep
Speaker 1: making play after play after play, and I'm just so
Speaker 1: proud of Sydney what he's gone through and how he's
Speaker 1: faced his own adversity. Thanks Coach, enjoy the win and
Speaker 1: good luck next week. Thanks Mike Gilling. Great stuff there
Speaker 1: from Coach and Mike, And of course the resiliency continues
Speaker 1: to be a theme for this for this Eagle squad,
Speaker 1: and we heard exactly that from coach there. We are
Speaker 1: going to check in with you, Fran in just a
Speaker 1: minute with the RICO review. That is going to be
Speaker 1: really fun. You're not gonna want to miss that. We're
Speaker 1: going to take a very fast break before friends breakdown.
Speaker 1: We'll see you in just a minute. Meet the wa
Speaker 1: Wa Hoogies. Every HOGI is made for you with delicious

Speaker 1: So now that you've been introduced, stop by and get
Speaker 1: a fresh, delicious hogi today. Gotta have a wah wah
Speaker 1: wah Wa is the official Hogi of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: The road to night, The road was rocky, Ain't I'm
Speaker 1: gonna breaks. Sometimes we prosper most when we help others.
Speaker 1: We respect that because it's Santander Bank. Respect as ACME
Speaker 1: is bringing the fresh every day, crispy, juicy, delicious. We
Speaker 1: are cutting fresh so you don't have to slicing fresh
Speaker 1: in store, icing, baking, and flower bouquet making. This is
Speaker 1: how we do fresh. Come and get it. ACME, the
Speaker 1: official supermarket of the Philadelphia Eagles. All Right, as we
Speaker 1: continue breaking down an exciting Eagles win, Josh Perkins four
Speaker 1: catches for fifty yards and a touchdown. That touchdown the
Speaker 1: subject of today's RICO review, friend Duffy breaks it down
Speaker 1: for us right here. Thanks Amy. Now, let's take a
Speaker 1: look at that touchdown in the second quarter from Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz to Josh Perkins, really well designed play to attack
Speaker 1: the New York Giants in their zone coverage they're playing.
Speaker 1: It looks like cover three here on this play in
Speaker 1: the high red zone. You're gonna get the Eagles heavy
Speaker 1: personnel here because you've got an extra offensive lineman there,
Speaker 1: Andre Dillard, the rookie first round pick, is lined up,
Speaker 1: and this is just gonna be a simple shot play.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a two man route off max protection.
Speaker 1: Greg Ward is gonna run deep down the field on
Speaker 1: a deep crosser, and you're gonna have Josh Perkins working
Speaker 1: on a deep crosser. Carson Wentz after this play fake
Speaker 1: to Boston Scott, he's gonna roll to his right. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be his landmark right here. You're gonna see
Speaker 1: he's got a nice wall of protection to be able
Speaker 1: to survey the field. So let's let this play out
Speaker 1: and see how the Eagles do this. Because again, heavy
Speaker 1: run look to start, you're gonna get the play fake
Speaker 1: to Boston Scott. The Giants are now retreating into zone
Speaker 1: coverage and you've got a nice wall of protection here,
Speaker 1: so Carson Wentz has plenty of time to be able
Speaker 1: to survey the field and find out where he wants
Speaker 1: to throw this football. We're gonna let this run and
Speaker 1: you're gonna see he's gonna throw this across his body
Speaker 1: to Josh Perkins in the backside of the end zone
Speaker 1: against this Cover three scheme. And now we're gonna go
Speaker 1: to the replay and be able to see exactly how
Speaker 1: Josh Perkins was able to get open, because this really
Speaker 1: came as a result from a very good route from
Speaker 1: Perkins and the Giants just not being overly aware. On
Speaker 1: the back side of this play again, you've got Perkins.
Speaker 1: He's gonna initially work vertically up the field, pretend as
Speaker 1: if he's gonna run to the corner just to throw
Speaker 1: that defender off, and then he's gonna break back the
Speaker 1: other way. So a really good route here from Perkins.
Speaker 1: They can let this run again selling that vertical stamp.
Speaker 1: Then he's gonna work hard to the outside, get that
Speaker 1: corner to flip his hips, work across the face of
Speaker 1: the free safety. That corner, DeAndre Baker not prepared there
Speaker 1: because he had just passed off greg Ward before the snap.
Speaker 1: He was lined up one on one with greg Ward.
Speaker 1: He passes him off is not in position to be
Speaker 1: able to defend Perkins, and number eighty one comes down
Speaker 1: with the catch. Great thrill from Carson Wentz. Eagles get
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Take a ten to three league
Speaker 1: going into halftime. All right, great stuff as always there
Speaker 1: from Fran and Fran will continue to have more from
Speaker 1: this game, breaking it down throughout the week, as well
Speaker 1: as a look ahead to our next opponent, which we
Speaker 1: are still waiting to find out though the Niners are
Speaker 1: up three to zero in the first quarter at last look,
Speaker 1: all right, we're taking one more quick break on the
Speaker 1: other side. The Toyota Player of the Game nominees, don't

Speaker 1: Toyota Player of the Week to cast your vote and
Speaker 1: get a chance at a brand new Toyota. Three very
Speaker 1: worthy nominees this week for the Toyota Player of the Week.
Speaker 1: Boston Scott with his three touchdown performance, Fletcher Cox continuing
Speaker 1: to put pressure on the Giant's quarterback, including a massive
Speaker 1: fumble recovery game change play there, and Carson went surpassing
Speaker 1: four thousand passing yards, the first time it's ever been
Speaker 1: done in Eagles history, as well as recording a touchdown
Speaker 1: pass in a sixteenth consecutive game every game of the
Speaker 1: regular season, also never been done in Eagles history. This
Speaker 1: is a tough choice there. There's three really really good
Speaker 1: choices here. I think I'm leaning Carson considering the massive
Speaker 1: milestones he has accomplished today and where he is going
Speaker 1: down in Eagles laure Although Boston Scott with a three
Speaker 1: touchdown performance, I mean that's the most rushing touchdowns since
Speaker 1: Shady in twenty eleven. So you know, I like the
Speaker 1: favorite of defense, and they really turned this game when
Speaker 1: it was Todd seventeen to seventeen. That play was the
Speaker 1: game changing. It really was so. But man, if I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the entire game, I think I gotta give
Speaker 1: it to the new Giant Killer, to Boston Scott. Giant Killer.
Speaker 1: B West is the old Giant Killer, but I gotta
Speaker 1: go with I gotta go with Boston Scott. Three touchdowns. Annie.
Speaker 1: Annie was a huge in the first Giants win, so
Speaker 1: that's why he gets the new Giant Killer label. Look,
Speaker 1: and I feel like next man Up could be the
Speaker 1: theme of the year, certainly a guy who is making
Speaker 1: the most of his opportunity when his number is called.
Speaker 1: All right, as we look ahead to next week, we're
Speaker 1: still waiting to find out when our game is and
Speaker 1: who are we playing. We don't know. It's also exciting.
Speaker 1: That's one of the thrilling things about this time of
Speaker 1: the year is that you're kind of watching and waiting
Speaker 1: to see when things are going to evolve. So we
Speaker 1: don't know if we'll be Saturday or Sunday, but we
Speaker 1: will be back here thirty minutes before kickoff of that game,
Speaker 1: and of course immediately after with the postgame show. As
Speaker 1: always adding to the we don't know who we're playing
Speaker 1: when we're playing. I don't even know who's all going
Speaker 1: to be playing when they get on the field next week,
Speaker 1: so as so many questions, but we do know we
Speaker 1: will be playing next weekend and it will be a
Speaker 1: home game in South Philadelphia, so of course no overstating
Speaker 1: the home field advantage there as well. Again, score update,
Speaker 1: Niners are up three day zero with five minutes remaining
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. We will be playing the loser
Speaker 1: of Seattle San Francisco. One of those two teams will
Speaker 1: be coming to South Philadelphia either on Saturday or on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and we will of course be here on the on
Speaker 1: the pregame show thirty minutes before that and the postgame
Speaker 1: show as always very exciting. We have a lot to
Speaker 1: celebrate this week, but it's well maybe for a day.
Speaker 1: We'll celebrate for a day and then we lock in
Speaker 1: on the next opponent. All right, as Ike is going
Speaker 1: to celebrate because this new year's team, he's got big plans.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be focusing along with this team on
Speaker 1: the next opponent. It's want to know this week is
Speaker 1: the mantra as always, all right, we will see you
Speaker 1: all next week. Enjoy this Eagles win and we'll see
Speaker 1: you next week.
