WEBVTT - Postgame Show: Eagles Win 34-17 vs the Giants. 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:07.360 Eagles Entertainment in the Rain. The Eagles reign NFC East 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.360 champions with a thirty four seventeen win over at the 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:12.640 New York Giants. We are very excited to break it 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.200 all down and look ahead to what this means for 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.680 this team. Thanks for joining us on the first game show, 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:21.680 Amy Campbell as always, joined by friend Duffy and I Crease. Uh, 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.160 you guys are really chill, more chill than I expected. 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.400 Um do you do? You? Are you excited about this one? Well? 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:35.879 I just got one word. Playoffs. Playoffs victory, Yes the radio, Yeah, 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.720 they get playoffs, So I am excited. I wanted to 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.120 be a little more subtle than I was last week. 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.040 We got a chance to sort of relax towards the 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.839 end of this game in the fourth quarter, so we 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.559 haven't had the last second excitement, but nonetheless, big victory today. Man, 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.279 we got so much to get into. It's just so 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.720 much to say about this team, where they were, where 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.760 they come from, where they are right now, and the 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.040 masterful job that this head coach has done over the 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.280 last four to five weeks keeping this team focused, believing, 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.560 and now have them in the playoffs for three straight years. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.119 I'll tell you something, Amy fran Sometimes we can take 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.479 for granted playing in the postseason. They're not very many 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.240 teams that have been in the playoffs the last three years. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.360 I think the Patriots half, I think the Chiefs have. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.640 I can't think of the other three teams, maybe the Saints, 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.840 but it's not been very many teams in this league 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.959 that have gone to the playoffs the last three years. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.840 So what this team has done over the last three 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.000 years under the head coach of Doug Peterson, I mean, 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.720 I don't know if I can just say enough about 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.800 the job he's done coaching. We'll talk about the players 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.800 and what they did out there on the field, but 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:50.360 this NFC East Division crown is a masterful head coaching job. 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.440 That's what it is. A masterful head coach. And to me, 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.000 like when you look at where this team has come from, 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.320 resiliency today shown you don't do that without the leadership 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.960 at the top with head coach, GM quarterback. Like you 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.960 look at some of these other teams that missed the playoffs. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.320 You look at Dallas, you look at Cleveland, you look 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:07.880 at some of these other ones that Hall had high 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.880 expectations coming into the year, had no injuries, they had 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.760 off the field stuff. They've got all these other distractions, 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.000 all these other excuses to why they don't succeed. This 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.480 team had on field reasons to say, man, you know what, 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.880 this just isn't our year, is not going our way. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.280 What do they do? They come back, They run the 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:24.720 table at the end of the year, and now they're 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.720 going to the postseason. Well, at one point, you looked 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.000 at this offense, I mean just so many injuries across 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.960 the board, and already playing with guys who were not starters, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.800 a lot of guys who are on practice squad halfway 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.280 through this season, and even in this game, those guys 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.400 are going out with injuries. We saw Miles Sanders got 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.519 with the injury. We saw Brandon brook squad with the injury. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.160 I'm looking at this team and I'm saying, the offensive 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.560 starters coming into this season, it was Carson Wentz, Jason Kelsey, 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.120 Sam Malo, Jason Peters. I think that might have was it. 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.280 That might have been it. So what they were able 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.120 to do with the guys that they had, and well, 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:54.680 let's talk, I mean, we're going to give love to 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.959 a lot of these different players. Who should we start 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:01.280 with Boston. No, let's throw with a media guy so 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.239 I can figure out who are these players that were 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.640 out there playing today. I mean so many guys in 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.200 there today where you have to basically look them up 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.200 to get some sort of a background on where they are, 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.520 where they came from, what you're they're in, and to 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.960 have coaches be able to devise a game plan around 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.760 these guys, even players they lost today that they had 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.600 to throw out there. I mean, Craig man LeBlanc, where 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.440 have you been? My friend? What a job edia today? Um, 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.480 I guess I'll throw my first cheat out there because 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:35.560 we're talking about it. It's next man up in the mentality, Yeah, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.240 next man up. The way they've been able to basically 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.360 go in when a guy goes down and not flinch 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.280 and really had the confidence of the other players around them. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.920 You know, sometimes when you get injuries, you can get 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.320 sort of a gloomy mood or filling around the locker 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.640 room because you're saying, our best players aren't out there, 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.680 and you may not have veteran players that believe in 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.520 these young guys. But to these guys, right to these 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.440 veterans credit, they seem to believe in all these young guys. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.720 They get a chance to practice against them on the 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.120 practice squad all year, so they know firsthand the things 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.840 they are capable of doing. So I think I've gotten 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.200 a lot of joy out of watching them root Boston 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.080 Scott on Gray Award Route, these guys on to see 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.960 them get their opportunity to go out there and play. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.320 How do you how do you not like Boston Scott? 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.640 Like while watching that pretty that screen pass that set 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.200 up the one to one yard touchdown, like the look 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.560 on his face afterwards. But to me, going too to 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.599 your point of the next man up, Like I go 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.839 to that two play sequence that we were watching together. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.440 We're watching the game, last play of the third quarter, 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.800 first play of the fourth quarter, they go deep ball 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.480 to Robert Davis who goes up and over the Giants defender. 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.760 Huge play puts them into Giants territory, comes back on 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.320 a penalty, and you're just so deflating. You're like, man, 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.800 we're watching the game, like how they how they gonna 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.640 make this up first and twenty? What do they do? 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.560 First play of the fourth quarter, very next play they 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.039 go deep shot Deontay Burnett. So you go from the 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.680 former sixth round Pickle Washington that they picked up off 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.680 way in the summer. In Robert Davis to a guy 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.360 that they've just picked up a couple of weeks ago, 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.440 added to the practice squad, added to the active roster 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.040 this week, Deontay Burnett. I'll explain to like, Oh, that's 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.600 Deontay Burnette. He was Sam Garnold's number one receiver with 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.159 the Jets. Good player, you know, played for the Jets 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.600 last year. They picked him up off waivers this fall, 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.640 just a couple of weeks ago. He's out here catching 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.880 thirty yard passes. That just speaks to where this team's 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.880 at right now, though, and the resiliency they've shown. These 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.440 are the guys who caught passes today, Boston Scott, Dallas Goddard, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.680 Josh Perkins, Deontay Burnette, Greg Ward, Robert Davis, Miles Sanders. 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.599 And we know that Miles Sanders left pretty early in 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.520 the game, did not return as well. Boston Scott three 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.159 touch three rushing touchdowns, that's the most in Shade McCoy 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.840 in twenty eleven. Again, one of the best stories of 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.039 this season. And then you want to talk about milestones, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.560 Carson Wentz surpasses four thousand yards in a single season. 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.240 That has never been done in Eagles history. Not only that, 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.400 the first Eagles quarterback in history to throw a touchdown 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.680 pass in all sixteen games of a season. He came 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.800 into this season with so many questions that continued, and 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.679 I actually got louder, I would say until the Giants 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.479 game four weeks ago when you said that was the 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.920 best game ike of his career. He had so many 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.480 questions that continued, that doubt continued to get louder. And 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.960 he is doing this with like we said, guys that 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.400 we're on practice squads just a few weeks ago. Yeah, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.240 he went through a stretch of a couple of weeks. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.560 I think it's probably as rough as patch as a 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:24.279 pro right outside of being injured at any point. You 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.080 just watched him play against New England in Seattle. The 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.599 guys that were out there, you could tell if the 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.040 offense wasn't in sync. There were chemistry issues from the 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.520 standpoint of just being able to be in rhythm with 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.640 each other. Outshone in and out, Nelson in and out 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.280 in those two weeks, and I thought Carson probably played 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.960 his worst two games. So to see him bounce back 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.080 from those two defeats and the way that he played 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.200 in those games. I think it just speaks to you know, 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.280 fran this will probably be a buzz word throughout the show. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.520 It speaks to Carson's resiliency, the fact that he's going 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.320 to continue to work at his craft. That's he's going 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.880 to continue to try to pick up his level of play, 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.680 and that's really what turned this thing around. Even after 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.800 the loss in Miami, where he played well in that game. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.400 On that side of the football, you can tell he 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.800 took the heart those two games against Seattle in New 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.960 England with the way that he played, and he wasn't bound. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.880 He wasn't going to allow that to happen again. So 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:20.920 I love the way that he's played over the last 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.120 five weeks. One of the hottest, if not the hottest 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.600 quarterback in football over the last month. You talked about 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.560 the sixteenth straight touchdowns he's I mean sixteen straight games 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.360 he has this year. Well, he has the longest streak 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.520 right now currently in the NFL at nineteen straight games 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.400 with a touchdown pass And to add to that four 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.920 thousand yard passing mark, which he surpassed today for the 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.080 first time in franchise history. He became the first quarterback 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.679 in NFL history to do it without a receiver having 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:57.280 more than five hundred yards. That's almost unheard of, right, So, 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.880 I mean, just the way that that he's played through 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.200 out the year. He won't get any votes for MVP, 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.640 nor do I think he should, but the fact that 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.520 this team is in the playoffs primarily due to his play, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.280 particularly over the last month or so, I wouldn't be 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.080 surprised if somebody decided to give him one vote because 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.280 he is one of the twelve qualifiers for the postseason, 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.640 and there's no way this team is in the postseason 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.760 if he doesn't play the way he played the last 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.960 four weeks. No, no, no shot. And I think too 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.040 you talk about what he's done. I sent that stat 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.360 in the Kickoff Show leading into this game. He didn't 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.240 have thirty completions tonight, but he was the first quarterback 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:38.199 NFL history to have three straight games thirty completions, no interceptions, 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.080 first quarterbacking team, and to do that with the supporting 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.600 cast that he's been playing with. I don't know what 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.360 else you can say about the way he's playing well 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.840 and still and took care of the football tonight again, 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.400 which usually means a w for the Eagles. I'll tell 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.079 you what, there is not a team that wants to 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.520 run into Carson Wentz in the postseason. But somebody is 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.240 going to next week. It is going to be the 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.000 loser of tonight's game between the forty nine Ers and 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.680 the Seattle Sea So whoever gets the wild card in 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.640 the NFC, we'll be coming over here to South Philadelphia. 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.760 Of course, the Eagles matchup against the Seahawks earlier this year. 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.079 They did not win that game. The forty nine Ers 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.200 have been one of the hot teams this Season's going 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.079 to be one of these two teams. Should we talk 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.920 about what these matchups might look like? Either matchup is 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.520 gonna be tough. We saw Seattle upfront, I mean in 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.959 person about a month or so ago. I thought our 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.480 defense played them very well. What is the seventeen points 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.439 they scored? I believe our offense struggled a little bit. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.240 Carson had a couple turnovers in that game. They're struggling 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.280 with personnel right now. Anytime you're bringing Marshawn Lynche in 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.520 and he's gonna get a lot of carries for you. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.840 Chris Carson being injured, I think that's gonna be huge 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.319 for their offense. They like to run the ball. I 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:44.880 don't want to sit here and say who I would 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.240 prefer to see. Either one of these teams are going 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.400 to be a difficult matchup for us just because of 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.760 who we have available to us. But I tell you what, 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.679 the way this team is playing right now coming to Philadelphia, 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.640 that's two West Coast teams that have to fly out here. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.160 Hope is Saturday night and not Sunday, so we get 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.600 them on a short week, and you know the link 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:10.200 is going to be crazy. Carson Winson his first playoff game, Okay, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.040 right now, it just feels so right when I look 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.720 at these matchups. Of course, I want your take on 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.440 this two fram but I think, first of all, this 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.079 game tonight for the for these teams is going to 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.080 be a battle, and so both of these teams are 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.439 going to be exhausted after this. Like you said, it's 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.280 a night game, so it's gonna be a little shorter. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.320 When I look at Seattle, I think this is a 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.520 team that the Eagles have already faced. We know it's 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.319 hard to meet a team twice, but Russell Wilson is 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.160 the quarterback who is the winner who I would not 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.160 want to face, although their defense is ranked twenty six 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.600 in the league, and so I think that's a less 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.200 talented defense. On the forty nine er side, I think 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.240 way more talented across the board, but inexperience and an 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.600 unproven quarterback in the postseason. So pros and cons on 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.640 either sidday. Yeah, I think that you make a great point. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.000 The best player on the field tonight will be Russell 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.160 Wilson between those two teams, and now without a running game, 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.160 they're gonna put the ball in Russell Wilson's hands and 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.480 that Mike work out better for them than what their 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.480 formula has been because they've traditionally been a very conservative offense. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.600 They want to run the football, try and be efficient, 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.360 matriculate the ball down the field. With Russell Wilson running 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.240 around and making plays, that may not be the case. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.719 So it'll be very interesting to see what their game 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.079 plan is tonight. I agree with you, though, San Francisco, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.400 that defense, that's that's something else defense to Ken Travel. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.040 That'll be interesting to see how this goes tonight. Seattle 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.920 won the first match up a few weeks back. Yeah, 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.640 I wouldn't The forty nine ers the defense would be 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.839 the issue for me because if this team has a 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.720 chance to win, we had to be able to score. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.920 And I like the match up with our offense versus 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.760 Seattle's offense. I think we're able. We'll be able to 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.720 move the ball on their defense better than we would 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.839 against the San Francisco forty nine ers. And Kyle Shanahan 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.079 is an excellent play caller. He's an excellent play designer. 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.200 I think we would struggle more with their offensive play 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.160 design and their weapons than we would with Seattle. I'd 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.120 rather have to try to stop the one man show 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.520 of Russell Wilson than the multiple weapons that Cisco can 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.959 hit you with. Both teams have struggled in the secondary 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.360 down the stretch. Yan Francisco has been given up big 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.760 plays down the field in the passing game. Seattle as well. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.920 They've had some injuries in the back end that have 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.160 certainly hurt them as well. I'm thinking of Nick Bosa. 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.559 Yeah they got like first round pick. Yeah they're really 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.840 good across that front, But you know who else is 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.600 really good across the front The Eagles defense and Tim 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.400 Jernigan one of the several guys up front who had 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.880 a big game tonight, including a sack on Daniel Jones, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.720 a lot of pressure, really strong force up there, and 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.079 of course showing all that personality. He's one on one 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:36.120 with Eagles insider Dave Spidero after the win, Tim, let's 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.880 first talk about the defensive effort and taking out Stake 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.160 on other than one play, he did nothing right. You know, 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.600 we got a lot of respect from not just Stake one, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.560 but the Giants the general. You know, they always play 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.760 us tough as hell, man, so we knew it was 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.880 going to be adult fight. You know, nothing matters what 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.520 happened previous to this. We knew we had to have 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.680 this game. They get what we're trying to go, and 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.240 then you guys really feasted on their offensive line late. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.520 That turned the whole game around, right a doct man. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.360 We just knew we had to pick it up. You know, 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.520 I think a lot of the success or the team 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.480 layers on our defensive line, and we understand that. So 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.000 we just knew we had to take it to the 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.240 next level to win the game. How's it feel to 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.840 be division champion? You feel good? Man? It was a 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.920 long ride. It was a long you know, it's a 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.719 long path, but we got it done, man, and it's 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.079 just time to go out here enjoy this victory, man, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.160 and we hope everybody back at home and enjoying it 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.000 with us. So we just want to say thank y'all 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.479 for sticking with us through through through the through this chart. Congratulations. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.960 Would you listen to that crowd that sounds like a 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.160 home game. That's pretty exciting to hear that. Let's get 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.480 into your next Oh, Carson, I just think you can 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.719 only talk so much about this team without going to 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.600 Carson Wentz and the way that he's played. Be surprised 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.600 if he's not the player of the Month in the NFC. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.920 With the way that he's played and the fact that 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.440 he's able to put this team on his back. That's 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.920 what a franchise quarterback is supposed to do. I don't 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.160 know if it's supposed to be this difficult when you 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.679 have the type of weapons that have gone down and 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.560 the players that he has it his disposal and basically 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:06.800 learning a new passing weaponry every week. I mean, he's 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.400 learning new guys every week and trying to figure out 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.920 where to get them the ball to where they like 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.560 it in the offense. And he's been able to do 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.840 that remarkably well. And the fact that he's been able 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.440 to take care of the football the way he has 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.840 over the last five weeks. I mean, Markos, it's what 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.600 you want from your quarterback, right, It's what you want 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.600 him taking care of football, him being big in the 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:33.840 red zone and on third down, and how many ways 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.720 do we count that he's been able to come up 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.400 with big throw at the big throw over the last 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.400 month or so and the guys that he's doing it with. Man, 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:46.040 it just I think we forgot what this looked like 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.400 from him because it's been a while, right since twenty 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.000 seventeen when he was completely healthy. But that Giant game, 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.680 I think it was either the Giant Gag or the 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.480 Redskins game where it was like the two year anniversary 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.920 of him tearing his knee. That's when I started to 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.000 see him run more and do other things. I think 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:08.360 you're seeing a fully healthy quarterback, fully confident quarterback. And 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.120 the fact that he could taste it, he could taste 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.080 that it was close. He wanted these moments. He's missed 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.600 out on these moments the last couple of years. And man, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.480 he showed why they drafted him. He showed why they 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.640 gave him the big money this all season, and hopefully 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.280 this is just the beginning for him and being in 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.280 the postseason, I can't wait to see what he's gonna 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.280 look like next week. Yeah. Listening to him at his 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.200 press conference this week, I thought one of the things 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.760 that I took away was, you know, talking about how 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.400 he's worked with these new receivers and it's not just 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.360 a hey, you know this guy, we're gonna insert him 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:39.800 in and he's gonna play this role in the offense. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.040 He's taking it upon himself to go to all those 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.520 guys individually and say, hey, what routes do you like 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.520 to run most? How do you like to run those routes? 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.720 And working with those guys individually on a one on 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.160 one basis to now understand Okay, now I'm gonna go 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.200 back to the coaches and say, hey, this guy runs 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.920 this route this way, how can we incorporate that into 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.640 what we do, just to expedite that process, because it 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.360 takes time to create chemistry with these guys, and he's 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:02.920 doing it on the fly. He had he's had to 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:04.960 do it on the fly. Yeah. I think he gets 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.840 so much credit and for so many things, but especially 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.200 with what he's doing with these young guys, and he's 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.080 the one, like you said, he's the one going to them. 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.120 But you can see even on the sideline his body 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.760 language instilling that confidence, whether it's you know, telling someone 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.840 great job or what they did, or hey, if there 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.720 was a drop or a miss or whatever, I'm coming 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.240 right back to you. And that totally changes, especially for 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.560 a young guy, that mentality and that confidence, and we're 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.400 seeing it happen, which of course breeds more confidence in 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.320 that offense and his leadership. It's had to be on 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.280 Front had to be on Front Street because basically the 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.040 offense needed him, the offense needed him to sort of 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.040 lead them, and with those young guys out there that 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.800 haven't played a whole lot, he finally had a huddle 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.800 where the weapons basically are relying upon him and his 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.320 leadership to guide them where to go. And you know, 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.800 it's been a lot of questions at times about you know, 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.800 what type of leader is he? You know, do the 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.400 guys want to following Listen, I think the guy has 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.879 been a great leader since he's been here, but the 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.320 fact that he had to go out and do this 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.720 the way he's been able to do it. I think 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.200 that's re established his hold in the locker room and 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.639 his status in that locker room as a guy his 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.760 teammates can trust and follow, and now they're all believing 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.879 and showing the mental toughness to hear all of that 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.480 noise from the outside of hasn't played this deep in 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.320 the postseason or in December since his rookie year, hasn't 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.800 won those big games with everything on the line. It's 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.760 been somebody else that's done it well. He's been on 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.080 the sidelines having all of that noise and having that 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.919 narrative to be able to just remain unflappable, especially in 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.720 the back of your mind when you're thinking, I get 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.119 hurt this same time every year, and my gut, is 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.600 it going to happen to me again? Whether anyone admits 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.280 it or not, that's a part of the mental narrative, 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.359 the tape that we hear that plays. To be able 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.480 to be unflappable and have the adversity of the guys 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.760 around you going down. There's so much there that he 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.040 gets credit for it. Yeah, it's easy to kind of 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.320 tell those stories to yourself in your head. The moment 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:07.320 I go back to was week fifteen fourth quarter against Washington. 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.880 You know, he fumbles the football in our own territory. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:12.840 He very easy could have said, like, man, like I 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.320 did it again. We fumbled. I fumbled the football. I 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.159 gave them the opportunity to score. Instead, he goes to 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.119 the defense said, hey, pick me up, give me the 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:20.640 ball back. I want to go and win this game. 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:22.760 They forced a three and out. The kick a field goal. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.200 Washington is the game back up. He goes and leads 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:27.960 the game, or leads a team on a game winning touchdown. 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.080 I go back to that and say, that's, you know, 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.200
