WEBVTT - Post-Game Show: Looking At The Loss 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.600 All right, I'm trying to catch my breath. All right, 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.200 we all figured out twenty seven thirteen the Eagles were 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.640 probably gonna take the l but what a thrilling finish. Unfortunately, 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:34.720 the comeback comes just a little short, as the Eagles 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.760 fall to the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.640 twenty seven to twenty Welcome to the postgame Show, presented 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.400 by Rico. I'm Chris mcfeerson alongside I Greece. There are 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.280 so many layers to under wrapped to this game. But 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.080 the first thing I'll start, We'll take the immediate emotion 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.640 coming out of this game, and for me, it's gonna 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.400 be missed opportunities, and it's gonna be especially at the 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.200 ends of the both halfs of this football game. You 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:58.720 look at the end of the first half where the 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.480 Eagles got the ball with seven teen seconds left, Chiefs 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.120 just got a field goal to take a lead. You figure, Okay, 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.280 if Doug Piers, who wants to kneel on the ball, 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.200 go into halftime, he gets the ball to start the 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.160 second half, you could be like, Okay, that's fine. You 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.080 could understand it. It's what most coaches would do in 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.920 that situation. They're running play to run play to Darren 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.720 Sprowles gets a chunk yardage. Then they go deep to 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.160 zach Ertz. Terrence Mitchell lecorback puts the ball up in 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.119 the air, accidentally doesn't know where it's at. Zach Ertz 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.399 great frame of mind, is able to catch it, run 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.080 down the siline almost scores says that what should be 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.720 a field goal for the new kicker, Jake Elliot chip 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:38.320 shot misses it three points left right there. End of 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.880 the game here about two minutes left. Eagles go down 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.600 to get the Nelson Agiler touchdown to get within the touchdown. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.160 Trey Burton gets the on side kick recovers it for 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.400 the Eagles. The team has one last shot. They go 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.640 to the end zone. They had an opportunity there but 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.760 not able to get it. They'd all their big guns 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.080 out there on the field, al Sewn Torrey Smith not 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.480 able to get it. Obviously not a high percentage, but 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.640 to me, just missed opportunities. And when the Eagles come 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.200 out of this game, there's a lot of things to 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.800 feel good about this football team, like, but you feel 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.000 like that they had the opportunity to win this one 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.480 on the road today. Well, I mean just another step 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.639 in the growth of this football team. I mean going 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.320 into a hostile environment like Arrowheads Stadium. I played out 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.000 there a couple of times. I know how loud it 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.760 can get out there. They played well for three quarters 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.360 three and a half quarters, couldn't finish the game. That's 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.720 what they're learning to do as a young football team 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.519 that's learning to be consistent. And when you're going to 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.720 place like Earlhead, you look at the bottom of the graph. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.760 We just had it up there a second ago. To me, 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.280 those were the two telling factors. Two for five in 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.800 the red zone. You gotta get touchdowns instead of field goals, 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.240 missed opportunities there. And then two turnovers. I mean the 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.720 Chiefs didn't turn the ball over at all. We turn 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.560 the ball over twice. The Chiefs get ten points off 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.960 of our turnovers. To me, that's the difference in the 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.239 football game. I mean, when you look at this thing, 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.760 the Eagles are gonna feel sick coming back home to 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.160 Philly because this is a team that they went toe 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.480 to toe with and match them big play for big play, 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.440 defensive defensive stand for defensive stand. The Eagles deserve to 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.840 win this ball game to a degree, but in the end, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.200 you can't make mistakes like they had on the road 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.959 turn the ball over. Give the Chiefs credit. They took 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.799 advantage of it. They capitalized on it. When you're going 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.600 to a place like Arrowhead, you gotta play nearly a 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.239 perfect game. You gotta play nearly a perfect game. The 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.120 ten points they gave up on the turnovers, plus the 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.919 miss field goal right before the half, that's thirteen points 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.480 right there the Eagles should have had on the bat 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.520 and I'll add four more points because on the opening 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.840 drive the Eagles did get a field goal Jake elliotts 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.840 first in the NFL, but Carson went through a perfect 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.440 ball of Torry Smith spot off. The defender should have 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.200 had it. You know, you're talking about the red zone. 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.000 Not able to convert two or five. That's one of 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.160 the miss opportunities there. So right there, that's another four point. 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.200 So you look at you tire, you up seven team 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.880 lost points there for the Eagles on the field, and 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.200 the scores twenty seven to twenty. If even if the 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.360 score end of twenty seven to thirteen, the anyone have 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.680 been that much closer because this was a tie ball. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.040 Nine minutes, nine minutes left to go, and then how 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.720 about the irony of the go ahead score in this 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.040 game coming from Travis Kelsey a fifteen yard reception off 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.719 a shovel pass. It's just like Andy Reid just digging 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.880 the elbow in there. Be like you saw this a 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.960 few times. You know it was caught at some point 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.680 and he unveiled it at the clutch moment there. But 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.760 you make a great point there, Ike, as we're gonna 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.520 hear from Doug Pierce, we'll hear from Carson Wentz just 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.480 a little bit. You make a great point about the 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.000 development of the two teams where they're at. The Chiefs 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.760 are at the point where they're contending, They've been to 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.800 then FC Championship game. They're they're eye in the super Bowl. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.840 This is to them, this is the peak for them. 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.679 They're trying to break through and get to the Super 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.680 Bowl this year. Okay, if they've gone toe to toe 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.120 with the best in the AFC. They went to Foxboro 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.000 Week one and stunned the defending champion Patriots in a 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.240 game where I think everyone's said, you don't go on 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.599 the road to the team celebrating the title and beat 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.800 him in that Thursday and I kick off of handily too, 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.560 and twenty one nothing. They won in the fourth quarter. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.240 And this is another game. You know, when you look 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.040 at the Chiefs of these first two games, they dominated 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.960 the games in the fourth quarters. They finished strong, and 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.120 that's what the Eagles were not able to do on 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.120 this day. So the Eagles made great strides last weekend 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.200 that went over Washington. You get the one on the road, 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.800 start off good in the division. You know, be a 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.320 team that's beat five straight times, all great things to 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.280 accomplish there. But this was a litmuscess for the team 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.400 because I thought that this team could play with the Chiefs, 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:30.800 and they did. Like you said, they were a toe 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.480 to toe right there. You know, body blow for body blow. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.920 You know, even the big players they were matching each other, 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.479 just didn't have enough to get over the top. And 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.359 when you just add up the little mistakes one by one, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.479 that's gonna be the difference. It's not gonna be so 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.040 much one big play that really made the difference. It's 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.920 just little things that accumulate over the course of the 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.040 game that if you don't take advantage of them, they're 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.200 gonna come back and bite you. Yeah, no doubt about it. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.840 Just mistakes mishats. It really allowed the Chiefs to stick around. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.000 I thought the Eagles for the most part, did a 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.440 great job of dominating the game really in the first half. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.000 It's just the scorer wasn't indicative of the way that 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.920 they were playing in the first half, and it was 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.960 due to some of their self inflicted wounds. There's another 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.360 thing you can't do when you're a young team going 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.280 into Kansas City. You can't be one dimensional. You know, 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.560 the running game has still been a struggle for this team. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.000 Last week, we didn't run the ball very well. This 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.640 week again, Darren Spros was our leading rusher. You look 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.400 at that one hundred and seven yards. A lot of 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.240 that Darren Spros is our leading rusher from the running 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.200 back position. I think Carson Wentz may have been the 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.400 leading rusher overall with fifty five rushing yards on four tips. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.440 So if you take away Carson's fifty five rushing yards, 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.680 you're looking at what maybe fifty nine. My man wasn't 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.200 very good and coming up, but get you get the point. 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.600 Only ten rushers from Darren Spros, three from all Windale Smallwood, 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.400 no rushing attempts from la Garrett Blunt, this week, Eagles 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.719 got to get the running game going in order to 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.720 beat teams like that. You're gonna play a tough team 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.719 in the New York Giants that if you dropped back 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.760 forty something odd times fifty times against that Giant's defense, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.760 you're asking for trouble. They had to find another way 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.080 to move the football. You can't put all of the 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.960 weight on Carson Wentz to shoulders with this passing game 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.360 and expect him to just throw you to victory's week 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.240 in and week out. You got to come up with 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.080 some balance and that's gonna be trying to establish a 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.160 run game. Didn't get it done again this week on 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.440 the ground. Now, the thing you have to be feeling 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.720 great about if you're an Eagles fan. The defense to 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.800 me is legit. Yeah, this defense is very, very good, 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.760 and they were putting some tough positions during the course 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.760 of the game. And that's gonna happen in the fourth quarter. Yeah, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.560 you know, the fourth quarter. You take away the strugles 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.880 in the fourth quarter. You came into his game saying 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.160 that you're going against a very good quarterback an Alex 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.360 Smith probably underrated to some degree, but was lights out. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.720 Was the offensive Player of the Week in the AFC 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.240 and that win over the Patriots. And it doesn't make mistakes. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.920 That's the biggest thing. Does not make mistakes. But you 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.800 always thought of him as, you know, a dink and 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.880 dunk guy. But he wasn't that way against the Patriots 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.360 because he has all these tools. Now is disposable in 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.520 Travis else in Tyreek Hill and now Kareem Hunt, Well, 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.320 the Heel's did a great job of containing Tyreek Hill. 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.080 Jim Schwartz give him credit for this. He knows how 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.720 to limit those explosive weapons. You look at the top 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.960 notch wide receivers he faced a year ago. He's not 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.240 gonna let that guy beat you on a weekend, a 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.400 week out basis, Okay, Travis Kelsey. Travis Kelsey was the 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.040 dagger this week, which is rare that a tight end 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.480 becomes a thorn in the eagle side for Jim Schwartz defense. Here. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.640 He's so awesome when he has the ball in his hands. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.960 I mean, I think he's probably the best tight end 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.000 running after the catch in the league. I mean, we 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.160 talk about having wiggle. That big boy has wiggletone him. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.160 You watched him leap over defenders I mean, the effort 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.959 to get in the end zone was nothing short of miraculous. 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.040 He had to leap over defender and then get through 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.200 two guys. So Alex Smith just dumping the ball off 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.400 and then letting his weapons make plays. One more point 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:56.120 about the defense along with that, Travis Kelsey played the 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.199 Kareem Hunt play. I mean, you just see guys missing tackles, 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.240 and that's where you saw of defense wear down late 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.280 in the second half of this game. I thought they 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.240 did a good job, a great job actually battling up 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.719 Kareem Hunt for the majority of the game. He had 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.400 the one big run where he broke that four touchdown 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.000 and then he broke tackles to get the other touchdown 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.360 late in the game. But I thought that was due 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.920 to the defense just wearing down in that fourth quarter. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.559 Working on a short field. You put too much pressure 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.520 on them when you give the ball away and scoring 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.120 and the opposing team scoring area to force this Eagles 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.160 team to get off the field. And with that said, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.800 the Eagles had an opportunity with a Viny Curry sack there. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.079 If he gets a sack there, it's fourth down. You 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.000 kick a field goal. Now you're looking at if he 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.400 makes it as a sixteen thirteen game, you still got 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.360 a ball game. He can't bring down Alex Smith. He 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.640 picks up the key first down, next thing you know, 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.080 they're taking it in for a touchdown. I thought Vinny 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.760 Curry had such a good game. He did have a 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.280 good game, very good game, flying around the ball, very disruptive, 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.480 you know, cause a lot of havoc in the backfield. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.800 But that's the one play that you need him to 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.439 make it. When you look at the defense into events 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.360 in the defensive line in general, Jim Schwartz and Chris Wilson, 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.880 they've preached that they want the guys to finish. They 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.800 want not just get to the quarterback. We saw it 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.360 with Brandon grahamall last season. He could get to the quarterback, 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.160 could he bring him down? And at times today they 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:14.920 did a good job of that. They really got to 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.920 Alex Smith. I thought they'd got him be a little 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.800 jittery in the pocket for sacks today, did a great 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.679 job getting the pressure. But that was the one at 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:25.679 third down. And you know, another underrated aspect Jim Schwartz 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.280 talked about this. Another underrated aspect of Smith's game is 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.800 his mobility, His way to escape the pocket, and you 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.199 know they designed the run pass option plays for him 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.400 to take advantage of that. You don't know, they create 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.480 so much misdirection that you don't know who's gonna get 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.360 the ball on any given play. And overall I thought 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.680 that the defense was for the most part, pretty disciplined. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.280 But you go to the third it was a third 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.720 and four. I believe Alex Smith scrambles to his left, 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.000 he gets away from Viney kerv No no clue whatsoever, 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.640 how he's able to escape the pressure, gets the first down, 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.160 keeps it alive. The next play, Travis Kelsey gets the 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.439 first down, leaping over with stool Douglas and then he 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.640 gets a shovel past score for fifteen yards out. You know, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.199 So that really to me the big moment, and that's 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.200 that's what's gonna be. It's gonna come down to in 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.160 those clutch moments, who's gonna be able to deliver those 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.920 game changing plays. And on this day, Ike, it was 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.920 quite simple that the Chief's offense was able to come 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.719 through with the big plays when they needed them. The 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.320 Eel's defense needs just another stop, another turnover, needs something 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.960 at some point not able to get the job done. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.040 But last week Ike the Chief's offense scored forty two points. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.920 They had over five hundred and fifty I forget the 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.120 exact toll, five hundred and fifty toll yards, and you 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.240 look at what they were to du Tay, Okay, three 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.439 hundred and forty four total yards. You obviously want that 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.280 to come down. But two hundred and thirty yards of 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.040 the passing game with the weapons at the disposal. The 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.760 rushing yards you mentioned with the Eagles, how pretty much 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.400 half of them came off of Carson went almost half 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.680 of them. And Kareem Hunt, he pretty much got all 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.720 of his rushing yards off the one big play, the 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.160 fifty three yard touchdown there which answered the Eagles touchdown 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.360 from Alice John Jeffrey. Yeah, no doubt about it. Just 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.320 needed to do more offensively, really, I thought the defense 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.360 played an outstanding game for about forty five to fifty 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.440 minutes of this football game. Needed more from the offense. 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.079 But I'll get the offense this. When you're wanted to 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.720 mention and you can't run the ball, it wasn't without calls. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.680 I mean, that's a very good Kansas City Chiefs defense. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.040 They have pride. You saw that they started to wear 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.800 our offensive line down late in the game. I thought 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.640 Carson had moments where he had time to throw the 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.000 ball back there in the pocket. But if you're gonna 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.120 be one dimensional that Chiefs defense, Bob Sudden, he's gonna 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.800 send extra guys. And that's what they saw in the 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.400 second half, a lot of extra pressure coming. Sorenson was 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.400 big time with his pressure packages. D four. All these 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.400 guys able to overwhelm our offensive line in the second half. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.760 And I really thought that was the difference that Carson 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.480 didn't look as comfortable late in that game as he 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.240 had looked earlier in the game. Well, the first I 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.320 thought the first half the pass protection, even though like 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.560 you mentioned, they were one dimensional, I thought the pass 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.400 protection was very good. He had clean pocket, he had 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.400 time in the pocket, he could step into his throws. 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.840 But you mentioned that wasn't there in the second half. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.280 And maybe that's just a result of having to backpill 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.600 every single time, knowing that you're going to be throwing 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.720 the ball time after time again. But you look at 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.160 the numbers here Ike, you know, three hundred and thirty 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.000 three yards, but largely because he had to throw the 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.920 ball forty six times. Okay, he was sacked six times. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.360 I mean you're asking him to drop back fifty plus time. Yeah, 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.600 you know this is a high rate Already. You look 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.000 at the Eagles and not be able to get the 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.319 run game going in the first two weeks. I think 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.240 that's gonna be the biggest question for this team moving forward. 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.319 And you don't get an easy task next week when 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.199 the Giants come to town. Yeah, but opener, Yeah, I agree. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.120 You look at the schedule the next few weeks. They're 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.640 facing some pretty good defenses. I mean, San Diego has 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.360 a pretty good defense as well with that front seven. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:48.400 So if if the Eagles are going to righten the 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.079 ship and get back on the winning ways of doing things, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.080 they have to be able to get that running game going. Listen, 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.520 I love Carson Wentz. I love when he wings it, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.040 throws the ball out there. We like watching him do it. 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.360 But like you, just you ask him to drop back 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.760 fifty plus times, you're asking for trouble. So you gotta 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.720 get the running game going. Didn't get Legarrett Blunt any 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.640 carries today. It'd be interesting to hear Dugs thoughts on 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.640 why he wasn't a bigger part of the game. Plan, 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.839 maybe because Kansas City's defense is a fast defense and 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.240 they wanted quicker running backs to sort of hit the 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.520 holes or what have you. I thought Dani Spros did 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.240 a decent job, you know, running the football at times, 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.880 but you know, I you gotta get the running game going. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.920 I just don't see how you can ask Carson to 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.160 throw the ball as much as he's throwing the ball 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.280 the first two weeks. We got away with it in 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:39.080 Washington last week against a better defense. The sacks, you know, 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.320 even though the sacks aren't turnovers, they're negative plays. They 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.240 put you behind the chains. They put you in second 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.760 and fifteen, third and nineteen. I mean those are hard 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.680 first downs to convert when you're looking at third and 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.760 extra extra long like that. So I just think that 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.320 makes it difficult for your offense. And we mentioned Giants 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.440 next week, great secondary. We got to be able to 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.920 get the running game going. It's interesting because I don't 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.200 know if you call it during the broadcast, but the 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.160 announcer said that Doug in their pregame meeting said that 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.920 he wanted to feed the ball specifically to al Sean 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.360 number seventeen, zach Ertz eighty six, and Darren Sprowle, so 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.680 he wanted to feature the playmakers today. So it's interesting 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.320 because you pretty much saw that within the game plan. 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.360 You saw they might have targets go each of those 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.200 players way, but you didn't get the ball, like you said, 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.440 the little Garret blunt. And even if you try to 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.480 at least sell the idea that you're going to be 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.600 trying to establish the run game, yeah, all if it's 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.240 just the pace of the game, the way things went, 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.520 I mean, it was a defensive slugfest. You know. They 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.000 both teams went down the field pretty easily on their 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.200 opening drives. Each put up a field goal, and you said, 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.480 this might be a track meet. They might be going 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:51.160 back and forth all day long completely, you know, both 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.360 defenses to their credit adjusted and then all of a sudden, 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.720 but you don't have a chance to establish the running game. 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.480 That's probably the time where you wish you would done it. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.840 So maybe you're out, they're little bit longer in the 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.160 fourth quarter, maybe the defense is a little bit fresher. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.280 I don't know, but that's gonna be the big question 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.560 for the offense is how to establish the running game. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.760 We'll think about it. You know, you look at if 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.240 you just look at the Chiefs offense, they stumbled around 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.080 all day as well. They couldn't get a whole lot 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.600 of rhythm going, couldn't get the running game going with 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.520 Kareem Hunt. But then you watched in that third quarter, 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.520 they kept feeding Kareem Hunt the ball and they kept 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.760 churning it and churning it, and he finally broke one. 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.160 He finally broke a big one on a nice little drawplay, 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.320 a well designed quick trap draw play inside there where 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.760 Kareem Hunt was able to break free. And he also 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.920 got to touch down a second touchdown in the game late. 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.360 So sometimes you gotta just stick with it and hopefully 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.920 it'll break sooner or later. But I thought the Eagles 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.280 at one point felt like we weren't getting enough positive 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.120 yardage with the running game. And sometimes it's easy to 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.000 just go back to the guy who has the golden 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.680 arm and allow him to make plays with his arms. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.160 And I'll say this for the offense, the passing game 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.920 was there. You know, as great as this Chief's defense is. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.600 Aushan Jeffrey had a pretty good day to day. Zach 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.919 Ertz had a good day to day. Torrey Smith a 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.000 good day to day. He bounced back in the second 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.400 half and came up with some big catches, the move 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.879 the chain, so the passing game was working. It's just 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.840 that it became too predictable. And when you're this predictable, 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:23.640 predictable against a defense like the Chiefs have, eventually they're 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.480 gonna get theirs. And that's what happened. That defensive line, 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.720 that defensive front of the Chiefs eventually started getting the 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.080 Carson wins. It's also you don't want to see your 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.320 quarterback getting hit that many time exactly because okay, it's 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.320 two sacks this week, three sacks this week. This week 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.800 it was six in fact, but he's taking those hits. 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.359 That's gonna have a cumuli effects by the time we 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.919 get into November and December when you need him playing 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.600 his best football. You don't want your quarterback worn down, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.439 and you also don't want to be You mentioned the 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.160 Golden Arm, but it's also the feat as well. Yeah, 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.320 you know, the scramble drill seemed to make the biggest plays. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.320 Those are where a lot of the magic is happening 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.520 right now for the offense, and it's almost you can't 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.040 rely on it. It's not something you can go in 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.080 and have the playbug and say, let's go to where 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:06.960 Carson wentz Bolls is out and gets us a sixty 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.880 yard touchdown, you know, to Torrey Smith or whomever. It's 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.680 a field for him, which is great to have. It's 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.040 a great thing to have in the art. So but 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.080 it's almost you can't rely on it. Now, watch me 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.400 nitpick about it because I wish he had taken off 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.280 a couple other times. He's standing back there and he's 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.600 waiting for his receivers that get open. I thought the 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.920 office a line had done a decent job of keeping 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.080 guys off of him. But he's standing in the pocket 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.440
