Speaker 1: To five different receivers as the Buccaneers routed the Eagles
Speaker 1: forty five to seventeen at Lincoln Financial Field. Hello everyone,
Speaker 1: and welcome to the postgame show presented by Rico Here
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia Eagles dot com. I'm Chris McPherson alongside former
Speaker 1: Eagles linebacker Ike Reese. Mike. The Eagles are four and
Speaker 1: six now after an embarrassing loss at home to a
Speaker 1: team that came in four and five as well on
Speaker 1: the afternoon. Just barely escaped a win over the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys last Sunday. Took a WinCE in touchdown in the
Speaker 1: funnel Man to get that done. The Eagles dis supporting
Speaker 1: loss at home last week to Miami, came in here
Speaker 1: today golf to another good start, a Josh Hoff touchdown
Speaker 1: and gave him a seven nothing lead, and then the
Speaker 1: defense absolutely did not show up whatsoever. Doug Martin two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five yards on the ground, almost nine
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Ike. I don't know where to begin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a tough one, Chris. I mean it's
Speaker 1: been a long time, you know, I've been sitting here
Speaker 1: trying to think about the last time the Eagles had
Speaker 1: you know something on the line at this time of
Speaker 1: the year where they didn't show up and at least perform,
Speaker 1: And this was this was a This was a game
Speaker 1: where you know, the Midnight Green did not show up,
Speaker 1: especially on the defensive side of the ball. And I
Speaker 1: know Tampa had some good young talent over there. You know,
Speaker 1: Doug Martin as a former first round draft pick, thousand
Speaker 1: yard rusher, Pro Bowl running back. We know what Jameis
Speaker 1: Winston has the potential to be a couple of good
Speaker 1: receivers on the outside. But this is a pretty good
Speaker 1: Eagles defense that typically shows up to fight every week,
Speaker 1: and I just didn't see much fight out there from
Speaker 1: this team. From the opening drive that Tampa was on,
Speaker 1: I mean, they were able to move the ball down
Speaker 1: the field pretty much all day, and then once the
Speaker 1: running game got going for Tampa, it was like the
Speaker 1: Eagles were at the Buccaneers mercy whenever they wanted to do.
Speaker 1: You want to go, Doug Martin running the ball? You
Speaker 1: want me to throw the ball to Mike Evans, Benson Jackson,
Speaker 1: however you want, and we'll be able to give it
Speaker 1: to you. Over five hundred yards of total offense on
Speaker 1: his defense, It's been a long time since I've seen
Speaker 1: an Eagle defense put out that type of performance. With
Speaker 1: so much riding left in this season, like we've seen
Speaker 1: this Eagles team get off to slow starts. So you figure, okay,
Speaker 1: they're down twenty eight to fourteen, and a half time
Speaker 1: they're outscored twenty one to seven. In the second quarter,
Speaker 1: you figure, okay, maybe the Eagles will regroup. They're at home.
Speaker 1: The crowd, they were into it at times, especially early
Speaker 1: on when they had some fight. You know, obviously they
Speaker 1: were looking for something to latch onto. Then you go
Speaker 1: into the third quarter, Buccaneers get the ball first. They
Speaker 1: started the twenty yard line, fifteen plays, eighty yards, over
Speaker 1: nine minutes off the clock, almost ten minutes off the clock.
Speaker 1: In fact, the Eagles offense didn't touch the ball in
Speaker 1: the second half until it was just over five minutes
Speaker 1: left on the clock. At that point you realize there
Speaker 1: was just no way the Eagles were going to bounce
Speaker 1: back on this afternoon. When you say, going to this game,
Speaker 1: you could hang your hound. This defense. The defense is
Speaker 1: a big reason why this Eagles team has been four
Speaker 1: and five to this point in the season. But for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, Bill Davis's crew just did not were not
Speaker 1: able to stop or slow down the Buccaneers all day long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's been so disheartening about this game. And of
Speaker 1: course you need a total team effort to put out
Speaker 1: most wins. But the one thing I've always given this
Speaker 1: Eagles defense and Billy Davids credit for is that they
Speaker 1: show up every week to play. And he was came
Speaker 1: into this game with five losses, but you think about it,
Speaker 1: they lost games by one point field goal things of
Speaker 1: that nature. They've been in just about every game, even
Speaker 1: the losses, they've been in the game until the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter. This is the first game
Speaker 1: that I can remember that they just didn't seem like
Speaker 1: they were in this game. After the first quarter, it
Speaker 1: just seemed like Tampa had full control of the momentum.
Speaker 1: It seemed like every big player that needed to be made,
Speaker 1: whether it be on third down or down in the
Speaker 1: red zone, Tampa was able to come up with it.
Speaker 1: And then on offense, you still had some struggles there
Speaker 1: where we couldn't sustain drives, couldn't pick up first downs.
Speaker 1: And when a team like Tampa has it going offensively,
Speaker 1: you're gonna need your offense to try to keep pace
Speaker 1: with them by putting up points. And so when I
Speaker 1: look at when I look at this game today, I
Speaker 1: know a lot of that yardage and we'll focus on
Speaker 1: what the defense didn't do today, But this was a
Speaker 1: complete team effort in this loss. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure any phase showed up today ready to play. But
Speaker 1: this was a situation. We're coming into the game. You
Speaker 1: knew that the offense was starting a backup quarterback in
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez. You need to do something on defense to
Speaker 1: help him out, solidify, give him some stabilization, and they
Speaker 1: just didn't have it. Again, I go back to that
Speaker 1: third quarter drive. Four third down conversions were including the
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to a guy who played his college football
Speaker 1: in the IVY League tight end there. So when you
Speaker 1: look overall at just how the defense was just not
Speaker 1: able to get the job done to help out the
Speaker 1: offense because you knew this was a situation where you
Speaker 1: don't want Mark Sanchez at quarterback. If this is going
Speaker 1: to be a double digit type game, you don't want
Speaker 1: him to have to force the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: You know that was getting out of the team's game plan.
Speaker 1: So early on you could say Sanchez was moving the
Speaker 1: ball with tempo. You know, there were some timing issues
Speaker 1: with you, Darren Sproles. We saw he was not quite
Speaker 1: on point with some of the tight ends. You know,
Speaker 1: we had a couple drops in there. But still you figure,
Speaker 1: at least if the defense could do its part, it
Speaker 1: could keep the offense in the game, keep the team
Speaker 1: in the game. And then another thing that we go
Speaker 1: back to you from last week's game is the fact
Speaker 1: that the defense they didn't generate any turnovers. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. When you're going in there with your
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. Even though Mark has plenty of starts under
Speaker 1: his belt, this is still his first start of the season.
Speaker 1: You want to make things a little easier for him.
Speaker 1: Try to get him some short fields. The moment you
Speaker 1: forced Mark Sanchez to have to throw the ball as
Speaker 1: much as they had to throw the ball today and
Speaker 1: play from behind, it's going to be difficult to sustain
Speaker 1: success on that side of the ball. And I was
Speaker 1: a little surprised that we weren't a little more aggressive
Speaker 1: coming out to Jamis Winston. He's a young kid that's
Speaker 1: prone to throw interceptions if you put pressure in his face.
Speaker 1: I think he has the worst completion percentage of any
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the league. Versus the Blitz, I thought
Speaker 1: we'd see a little more pressure on him, forced him
Speaker 1: to get the ball out quick, show him some exotic
Speaker 1: looks so to keep his mind guessing, try to confuse him,
Speaker 1: and maybe that would create some turnovers for us. But
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was on his game today. He
Speaker 1: was on point. He knew where he wanted to go
Speaker 1: with the football. More importantly, he seemed to make accurate
Speaker 1: throws when they needed to be made. And we couldn't
Speaker 1: come up with that big play on defense to sort
Speaker 1: of get the momentum going for us. Shortened the field
Speaker 1: for our offense, especially in the second half. You talked
Speaker 1: about that first drive of the second half of Tampa's
Speaker 1: I mean that was a wheel a wheeltaker, we call
Speaker 1: that coming in basically saying I'm gonna put my hat
Speaker 1: on your hat and see if you can stop me.
Speaker 1: And when you have a drive that goes for nearly
Speaker 1: ten minutes to start the second half, man, after that,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the Eagles felt like they could win
Speaker 1: after that drive. I mean that was basically a will
Speaker 1: killing drive. That first drive we're gonna hear from head
Speaker 1: coach Chip Kelly and quarterback Mark Sanchez in a little bit,
Speaker 1: but first we're gonna send it to Lincoln Financial Field
Speaker 1: for the reaction from Dave Spider, Eagles Insider. On this
Speaker 1: Sunday in late November, everything fell apart for the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: who are now four and six a season very much
Speaker 1: in the crossroads a forty five to seventeen loss to
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Eagles taking a seven to
Speaker 1: nothing lead early Mark Sanchez completion and a fine catch
Speaker 1: and run from Josh Shuff, but from that moment on,
Speaker 1: it was all Tampa Bay, who outscored the Eagles forty
Speaker 1: five to ten the rest of the way. Quarterback Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston five touchdown passes, the Buccaneers more than five hundred
Speaker 1: total yards, and it would have been way more had
Speaker 1: they continued to be aggressive offensively. Running back Doug Martin
Speaker 1: more than two hundred and thirty yards rushing against this
Speaker 1: Eagles defense. Mark Sanchez, in his first start in place
Speaker 1: of Sam Bradford, two touchdown passes but three interceptions, one
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown to mark Tampa Bay's final points.
Speaker 1: It was a complete and utter fallout for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: who were dominated in every phase of the game. It
Speaker 1: was frankly an embarrassed performance by the Eagles, particularly the
Speaker 1: defense that offered very little resistance to Winston, to the
Speaker 1: passing game, and to anytime Doug Martin had the football. Chip.
Speaker 1: Kelly's got a lot of questions to answer a short
Speaker 1: week ahead for the Eagles, who play against the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions on Thanksgiving Day. The Eagles at four and six
Speaker 1: in search of some major answers. Here this football team,
Speaker 1: just two weeks ago, coming off a huge win against
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, an overtime thriller. After two home games,
Speaker 1: the Eagles two more losses and many more questions. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, Dave. Again, we'll hear from the
Speaker 1: head coach in just a few moments. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back to the defensive side of the football for a second. Here.
Speaker 1: We've talked about how they were unable to generate any turnovers,
Speaker 1: and there are a couple of plays that stick out
Speaker 1: to me. Malcolm Jenkins for the second week in a row.
Speaker 1: You know, Malcolm Jenkins made a great play, you know,
Speaker 1: covering the tide in there. You just wish you could
Speaker 1: pull that pass in. You know, it goes down as
Speaker 1: the past break up, but that's one it's you're saying, oh,
Speaker 1: we need you to catch that one because he's gone
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. If he catches Dad, I mean it's
Speaker 1: a pick sixty other way. And then Connor Barwin's play.
Speaker 1: You know, he had two consecutive batdowns that second one.
Speaker 1: I mean it's tough though he's about five yards away
Speaker 1: from you. I mean that's a hard throat. But again,
Speaker 1: when you're looking for something to help you flip the
Speaker 1: momentum and sort of get things going in your favor,
Speaker 1: those are the plays that you want to come up with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so no question about that. Easy plays, they are not easy.
Speaker 1: You need it. But when you need something to turn
Speaker 1: things around, when you need a playmakers, I mean that's
Speaker 1: a difference. Yeah, you know you talk about the whole
Speaker 1: going from good to great. That's the type of stuff
Speaker 1: that you look at. Who's a guy that you're going
Speaker 1: to look to at a key moment to get you
Speaker 1: that big play to really be able to shift the
Speaker 1: momentum back in your favor. Was also surprised schematically at
Speaker 1: the free releases we saw off the line for the receiver.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into more than announcing a little bit.
Speaker 1: But first, head coach Chip Kelly from the link. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody played well today. I don't think we're
Speaker 1: talking about the least. We just we didn't. We didn't
Speaker 1: play well as a football team and in any facet
Speaker 1: of the game. And there's no excuse for that. Why not.
Speaker 1: They don't know exactly why not, but I know we
Speaker 1: didn't make plays, and we had to make plays. I
Speaker 1: think we extended drives on defense. Um, we let them
Speaker 1: convert too many thirtain longs obviously, UM didn't do I mean,
Speaker 1: it's the first time we've really had the ball run
Speaker 1: on us like that, and that's uh, it was certainly
Speaker 1: kind of an uncharacteristic thing at these for this defense.
Speaker 1: We've always kind of pride ourselves and stop in the
Speaker 1: run and didn't do that today. We think he had
Speaker 1: two two on thirty five yards. You know, just that's
Speaker 1: just not eagle defense on not what we're going to
Speaker 1: do to be successful. And then they can run the
Speaker 1: ball like that obviously, then Jamis did a really good
Speaker 1: job and the play action passes off. But but we
Speaker 1: we didn't stop them all day long. Now I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the scheme or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to look at the film to
Speaker 1: determine that where we are. I think there's times where
Speaker 1: we had opportunities on the defensive side of the ball
Speaker 1: to make plays, um, and we didn't make them. You know,
Speaker 1: we had some guys wrapped up. I think that we
Speaker 1: didn't tackle as well as we know him tackle. Um.
Speaker 1: We looked like we had some interceptions or opportunity for
Speaker 1: intercepts as they hit us in a hands we didn't
Speaker 1: catch it, you know, turnovers that could have created her
Speaker 1: stend to tide. And then um, you know, the penalty
Speaker 1: part of it, just to extend those drives defensively, I
Speaker 1: think really really hurt us. You know, we got an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get him off the field, but then we
Speaker 1: you know, we get a penalty that extends a drive.
Speaker 1: I think those are the things that are you know,
Speaker 1: you got to clean up if you're ever going to
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to win a football game. I could
Speaker 1: employ comparatiste. I don't have an explanation for it, but
Speaker 1: I know we weren't. We weren't ready to play on defense,
Speaker 1: and uh, we gotta get that straightened out because we
Speaker 1: got a short week this week and we get ready
Speaker 1: to play on Thursday at twelve thirty. So that's an
Speaker 1: altercation between Mark Sanchez and Darren Scrolls after the third interception.
Speaker 1: Do you know what happened? And you think no, I
Speaker 1: just think they were communicating on where where where the
Speaker 1: guy was supposed to be, where Mark was putting the ball,
Speaker 1: and where Darren thought he was supposed to be. So obviously, peep,
Speaker 1: everybody's frustrated with the performance today. So communication began before
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez left the field. He seemed to show up
Speaker 1: a better and you think that's pro. I don't know
Speaker 1: specifically what you're talking about. I know those guys are
Speaker 1: yelling at each other little bit and we stopped it.
Speaker 1: How did you feel about the way offense sporadic? You know?
Speaker 1: The opening drive I think you know, overcome the fumble,
Speaker 1: then recovered fumble, you know, and then to drive down
Speaker 1: the field and score um was good. Then we had
Speaker 1: another good drive in there that ended up with a
Speaker 1: touchdown to give us fourteen points. But just just up
Speaker 1: and down, you know, we really needed to get points
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half. There, you know,
Speaker 1: we had the ball at the end of the first half,
Speaker 1: give ourselves an opportunity to at least get something there.
Speaker 1: We're close in field goal range, but um we had
Speaker 1: an interception and obviously didn't get them there. But I
Speaker 1: thought it was just sporadic but not good enough, especially
Speaker 1: with how we played on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: Offense didn't do anything to build them out of it.
Speaker 1: So you're concerned about the type of damaging back the
Speaker 1: law you have one, Well, we'll find out. I mean,
Speaker 1: you guys all want to we all want to write
Speaker 1: a narrative of how does this game affect that game?
Speaker 1: I mean, we beat Dallas and that was the we're
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna win the rest of our games. It
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way, you know, And it never works
Speaker 1: that way, you know. So we got to come back
Speaker 1: to work tomorrow more and get ready to play a
Speaker 1: game on Thursday. So if if we allow this game
Speaker 1: to affect us on Thursday, then shame on us. You
Speaker 1: have control of the team. I mean, this is yes,
Speaker 1: I do. It is a big spot. Every week is
Speaker 1: a big spot. That week gott to emphasize that every
Speaker 1: single week, there's not a week that isn't a big spot.
Speaker 1: Every single week in this league is a big week.
Speaker 1: So what's that? Because I have confidence in those guys
Speaker 1: in that room. Do you have confidence and you have
Speaker 1: the talent to yes? I do, I really do. The
Speaker 1: interceptions weren't for today him or you know how Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of zone drops by them. I think, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you go through the specific ones him and
Speaker 1: I think Darren run the wrong page. I'm not sure. Um,
Speaker 1: he thought Darren was moving out farther on the screen
Speaker 1: on the one that he threw in the last one there, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, the one at the end of the first half.
Speaker 1: It was a zone they were squeezing a tight end.
Speaker 1: We probably should have gone outside with it. Um. And
Speaker 1: I can't remember which way the other what the third
Speaker 1: one was, so SI, I just said that that was
Speaker 1: a screen pass where I think they'ren was slowing down
Speaker 1: and he thought he was going a little bit farther.
Speaker 1: As little miscommun case in terms of where he was
Speaker 1: going to be. For your first two years, you had
Speaker 1: offenses that you got into a shootout and you could
Speaker 1: win those games, and you put up a lot of
Speaker 1: yards with a lot of points. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: you still have a team that can do that? If
Speaker 1: you're in it looked like it was going to be
Speaker 1: a shootout early, don't only ended up being a one
Speaker 1: side of shoot You still feel like you have a
Speaker 1: team that can wait to shootout? Yeah, I mean I don't.
Speaker 1: We don't want to win any shootouts. We want to
Speaker 1: play really well in all three phases of the game
Speaker 1: so that it doesn't turn into a shootout. And I
Speaker 1: have confidence in our defense. You know, this is again
Speaker 1: that's one of the first times I've seen, you know,
Speaker 1: people someone run the ball like that on our defense.
Speaker 1: It that's kind of an uncharacteristic thing that that we
Speaker 1: need to get fixed. M But do I think are
Speaker 1: we have the people that'll be productive on the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, Yes, I do. The run game
Speaker 1: was probably against Carolina though too. What's up? I mean,
Speaker 1: they run Carolina Randall, they run the ball like this.
Speaker 1: You know, I think, you know this is this isn't what,
Speaker 1: you know, what what we expected or from our defense.
Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody on our defense will say
Speaker 1: the same thing. That's not what we expected. So why
Speaker 1: do you think there's the mistakes now are different and
Speaker 1: they continue. Well, why do you think that happens? I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just how the game expressed itself. So you get
Speaker 1: address each one as you see it. You know, we'll
Speaker 1: get to the film and get get it broken down
Speaker 1: with the guys and when we get meet with them
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning, we need to fix that because you can't
Speaker 1: make mistakes like that against a team that's running the
Speaker 1: ball like that and throwing the ball like that and
Speaker 1: expect to be successful. You know, if you if you
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to make a stop, you got to
Speaker 1: make a stop. You can't you can't aid them in
Speaker 1: terms of keeping them on the field by doing those things.
Speaker 1: So well, there's something like this, just get him out,
Speaker 1: and we just took him out, so you know, we
Speaker 1: knew where we were in a score of the game,
Speaker 1: and so he hadn't practiced a tunder in the week,
Speaker 1: so um, you know, I felt like again, we got
Speaker 1: another game on Thursday, so um, you know, let's see
Speaker 1: where we can get see see what his status is
Speaker 1: after the game, and we'll come back tomorrow morning and
Speaker 1: see where he is in terms of being able to play.
Speaker 1: You know, we do have a quick turnaround in terms
Speaker 1: of playing another game here on on Thursday. So after
Speaker 1: something like this, are you confident that you're emphasizing the
Speaker 1: right things. Yes, I am, Sam getting closer. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I have no status update on Sam. Too
Speaker 1: many men on the field. Yeah, we were in Dime
Speaker 1: defense and one of the linebackers didn't come out, should
Speaker 1: have come out, and Dime didn't see the signal from
Speaker 1: a personnel coming in from the sideline. But we had
Speaker 1: two linebackers on the field and Dime we're only supposed
Speaker 1: to have one linebacker on the field and Dime. Well
Speaker 1: you consider like lineup changes like on defense, especially going
Speaker 1: into the striking here. We haven't talked to anything about that,
Speaker 1: so you know, we'll go back, we'll watch tape. We
Speaker 1: got a long night tonight. We got to put a
Speaker 1: whole game plan in and can get ready to play.
Speaker 1: What's I tell those guys a bit of a short
Speaker 1: memory because we'll be back tomorrow morning to day o'clock.
Speaker 1: We have a game we have to train tomorrow. One
Speaker 1: on the field tomorrow, which we're normally not on the
Speaker 1: field on Monday. Mondays a day off for us, but
Speaker 1: we're got to be on the field tomorrow Tuesdays forty
Speaker 1: eight hours before the game. We're traveling on Wednesday and
Speaker 1: we're going to play on Thursday. So you know, we
Speaker 1: all take ownership, we all take responsibility, and every single
Speaker 1: person in that room contributed to that loss and contributed
Speaker 1: to the outcome of that football game. Go get some
Speaker 1: sleep and turn around and we'll see you guys tomorrow morning. Eight.
Speaker 1: As talented as your front seven is, how can something
Speaker 1: like this happen to underge eighty three rushing yards? Yes?
Speaker 1: What you know? What is going on that these guys
Speaker 1: can't get off the blocked? It was a combination of things.
Speaker 1: I don't think we tackled well as a group. Um.
Speaker 1: I think the penalties hurt us as a group. And
Speaker 1: I'd have to see where our fits were in terms
Speaker 1: of um. You know, when you when you start to
Speaker 1: pile up the tight ends and get some mixture guys
Speaker 1: in there, you'd better make sure that you're fitted up
Speaker 1: the right way and understand where the ball is going
Speaker 1: to be, where the ball should be run too. Because
Speaker 1: of how we're playing defensively, do you think something, guys? Now,
Speaker 1: I don't Jakins, I saw it when it was in
Speaker 1: a state of team you guys started the guys, I
Speaker 1: think I don't lose a focus that I don't. I
Speaker 1: mean they may have lost focused, but I would never
Speaker 1: use work quit. I would. Is there any temptation at
Speaker 1: this point that maybe to see what that Lewis can
Speaker 1: do out there? No? I mean we just the first
Speaker 1: game mark where they played for us. You know, he
Speaker 1: came in at the tail end of the uh the
Speaker 1: game last week against Miami. But I that that thought
Speaker 1: did not cross my mind. Now, all right, there's head
Speaker 1: coach Chip Kelly addressing them, idiot following the eagles forty
Speaker 1: five to seventeen loss to Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We're gonna
Speaker 1: hear from quarterback Mark Sanchez in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: But ike, from a defensive standpoint, when you see those
Speaker 1: big runs that Martin had up the middle on his
Speaker 1: way to a two hundred and thirty five yard rushing performance,
Speaker 1: what are the things that jump out of you in
Speaker 1: terms of what went wrong? Oh, somebody's not in the
Speaker 1: proper gaps. I mean for every run play that's out there,
Speaker 1: there's a gap responsibility for each and every player. And
Speaker 1: when you have a play like that, either someone's not
Speaker 1: in the proper gap or someone has been whooped by
Speaker 1: the offensive player, meaning they're being blocked and they can't
Speaker 1: get off their block. You look at both of those
Speaker 1: runs from Doug Martin. Somebody was there, they just couldn't
Speaker 1: either make the block, or he's running through a hole
Speaker 1: that's big enough to drive a mack truck through, which
Speaker 1: means Tampa is winning at the line of scrimmage. But
Speaker 1: like I said, for every run play that you have,
Speaker 1: there is a gap responsibility. For every defense, it's a
Speaker 1: matter of getting to your gap responsibility or making sure
Speaker 1: that you aren't defeated by the offensive player that's blocking you.
Speaker 1: Oh unreal? Is it? To see the way the run
Speaker 1: defense has kind of come apart in the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. I really am. For two straight years this
Speaker 1: has been one of the better run defenses in all
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. And I know they've had
Speaker 1: injuries at the inside linebacker position and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of shuffling going on that and that's what I think.
Speaker 1: Maybe part of the issue here is that you got
Speaker 1: so many guys, or at least you got three guys.
Speaker 1: Now was for a couple of weeks ago playing the
Speaker 1: inside linebacker position, and there have specialized packages where now
Speaker 1: teams are starting to recognize what personnel package you put
Speaker 1: on the field versus their personnel package. And if you
Speaker 1: have a personnel package out there with your inside linebackers
Speaker 1: that aren't as a depth at stopping the run, now
Speaker 1: your opposing team is going to run the ball at
Speaker 1: you when those guys are out there. And I think
Speaker 1: ever since Jordan Hicks has gone out, I think our
Speaker 1: run defenses started to show a little bit of leakage.
Speaker 1: When Damiko Ryans was out of there was showing a
Speaker 1: little bit of leakage because those two guys are typically solid,
Speaker 1: fundamentally run stoppers and they don't overrun plays. And I
Speaker 1: think when you bring in the other two guys who
Speaker 1: are more athletic, who likes to use their speed or
Speaker 1: what have you, sometimes they aren't taking on blocks the
Speaker 1: same way and some of those things. And I'm not
Speaker 1: putting this all on Kiko on Michael Kendricks, but sometimes
Speaker 1: you can create running lanes by not stuffing your man
Speaker 1: and putting him back in the hole. All Right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna hear from quarterback Mark Sanchez and just a little bit.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick commercial break here on the

Speaker 1: dot Com Chris McPherson alongside former Eagles linebacker Ike Reese.
Speaker 1: One of the players who came into the lame today
Speaker 1: for the Buccaneers who didn't really do a ton of
Speaker 1: the statue you just score a touchdown receiving, but I
Speaker 1: think had a major impact was wide receiver Vincent Jackson,
Speaker 1: the crafty veteran, because coming into this game during the week,
Speaker 1: you figure you had Mike Evans out there six foot five,
Speaker 1: you knew you had to contend with him. Jackson been
Speaker 1: sidelined with a knee and jury, didn't seem like he
Speaker 1: was gonna play, even though he returned to practice this week. Well,
Speaker 1: he was active for the game, and certainly with someone
Speaker 1: who was able to draw attention away from the coverage
Speaker 1: on Evans and also from jamming up the box to
Speaker 1: be able to sup Martin. Now you hit a right
Speaker 1: on the hit. I mean, having Vincent Jackson back in
Speaker 1: the lineup for this Bucks offense and having to be
Speaker 1: such a late sort of a late call that make
Speaker 1: him active today. I think it's certainly altered a little
Speaker 1: bit of your defensive plan because if Jackson's not out
Speaker 1: there now you can focus on double team and Mike
Speaker 1: Evans and then maybe committing the extra guy to the
Speaker 1: box to stop the run. But you put a guy
Speaker 1: like Vincent Jackson out there who's a multi pro bowler,
Speaker 1: and you know you got to pay attention to him
Speaker 1: as well. He's just as good as the other guy.
Speaker 1: And what that ultimately does is it takes one guy
Speaker 1: out of the box to stop that run. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what you saw today is the effect of
Speaker 1: having Vincent Jackson out throwing the field. It opened up
Speaker 1: that running game for the Tampa Bay offense. And then
Speaker 1: you look at the performance by quarterback Jameis Winston coming
Speaker 1: to this game again, you figure he was a guy
Speaker 1: who was with stand tall in the pocket and you've
Speaker 1: done a great job breaking on tape during the week
Speaker 1: of what he's done on the field to this point.
Speaker 1: You know, you're ten touchdowns, nine interceptions coming into the game,
Speaker 1: four touchdowns on the ground. But for him, it had
Speaker 1: five touchdowns against a veteran defensive unit by a coordinering
Speaker 1: Bill Davis, who has done a great job game playing,
Speaker 1: a great job creating blitz schemes and pressures and finding
Speaker 1: unique ways to get after the quarterback, generating free rushers.
Speaker 1: It was a surprise that they weren't able to do
Speaker 1: more of that here today. Well you look at Winston,
Speaker 1: man and he I mean today he showed you why
Speaker 1: he was the number one overall draft pick in this
Speaker 1: past year's draft. He made he can make every throw.
Speaker 1: You know, watching him from the stadium over there. Getting
Speaker 1: to watch him from up top, I was very impressed.
Speaker 1: He's throwing the ball from the opposite Hashmart deep twenty
Speaker 1: yard outs. I mean, that's a big league arm and
Speaker 1: I think had Jackson not been in there, than Billy
Speaker 1: Davis could be a little more aggressive on trying to
Speaker 1: force Jamis Winston into mistakes. The problem is is that
Speaker 1: when you blitz people or you bring extra guys, you're
Speaker 1: better be sound in your coverage on the back end
Speaker 1: because everybody on the back end is man to man
Speaker 1: and you're talking about two receivers that are six four
Speaker 1: to six five two hundred and twenty five pounds basically,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna win most of these one on one
Speaker 1: jump ball battles. And that's really what Tampa is looking for. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, we really didn't get the opportunity to do
Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston what we wanted to, just because he
Speaker 1: had so many of his weapons at his disposal and
Speaker 1: you needed to get more pressure on him. Oh, let's
Speaker 1: see exactly what Winston was able to do to Eagles
Speaker 1: defense and welcome an NFL Film senior producer Greg Cosell
Speaker 1: to break down the all twenty two. I want to
Speaker 1: show you the touchdown that made it Bucks thirty five
Speaker 1: Eagles fourteen. It was actually a really well designed concept
Speaker 1: by Tampa because what they were trying to get done
Speaker 1: was get Cameron Breake the tight end. He's in the
Speaker 1: inside slot on the three receiver side in this three
Speaker 1: by one set. They're trying to get him matched up
Speaker 1: one on one on Kiko Alonso. That's the design of
Speaker 1: the play because what they're doing up top here's Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: is they're going to bracket Evans. So the safety here
Speaker 1: he's gonna come down and bracket Evans. Malcolm Jenkins right here,
Speaker 1: he's gonna step down inside. So clear the screen and
Speaker 1: go back to the three by one, go back to
Speaker 1: Cameron brad right here. This is the matchup we're looking
Speaker 1: at Bright on Alonso. So let's clear it and we're
Speaker 1: gonna run the play and it's one on one and
Speaker 1: you're going to see very simple. This is where you
Speaker 1: throw a contested ball. Bright makes the catch against Alonso.
Speaker 1: That's the matchup the Bucks we're looking for. On the play,
Speaker 1: they got it. Touchdown, Tampa. Thank you very much. Greg.
Speaker 1: It's a shame because you like Kiko Alonso in that situation. Now.
Speaker 1: Of course, Alonsos bottled the knee injury and he's been
Speaker 1: kind of hampered by that throughout the course of the season.
Speaker 1: So we still rounding into form. But typically that's one
Speaker 1: that you would like the Eagles to seat on the field.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick commercial break. We're still waiting
Speaker 1: to hear from quarterback Mark Sanchez, and we're also going

Speaker 1: pub Scheme Show, presented by Rico here in Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot com. As we wait to hear from quarterback Mark Sanchez,
Speaker 1: let's take a deeper look at what happened on the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football, and like, is it just
Speaker 1: a situation where the game got out of hand? There
Speaker 1: was too big a defensit to overcome And even if
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense, hey had its moments early in the game,
Speaker 1: were just not able to sustain what the Bucks were
Speaker 1: able to do offensively. Yeah, I think that's what a
Speaker 1: lot of it boiled down to. You know, the Eagles
Speaker 1: had their struggles offensively a little bit earlier, but had
Speaker 1: the defense sort of held up a center the bargain,
Speaker 1: it could have given this offense a little time to
Speaker 1: get going, which obviously Mark Sanchez needed. It was his
Speaker 1: first start this season, so you can't understand the offense
Speaker 1: getting off to a little bit of a slow start,
Speaker 1: and you're without Ryan Matthews, that change up back that's
Speaker 1: been so complimentary to Darren Sprows and DeMarco Murray. You
Speaker 1: wanted to not having him in there to day. Also
Speaker 1: Hurst the offense just a little bit. But I thought Sanchez,
Speaker 1: at least early on, was okay, you love me down.
Speaker 1: But like I said, once the game gets out of hand,
Speaker 1: you get down about fourteen, you get down by twenty one.
Speaker 1: Now you become one dimensional and it's tough to really
Speaker 1: keep the Bucks on their heels. This was a great
Speaker 1: throw to Josh Huff, great run after the catch from
Speaker 1: Josh Huff. I thought the screen game was a big
Speaker 1: time part of the game. Playing today, a couple misreads
Speaker 1: by he and Darren Sproles trying to figure out where
Speaker 1: to put the ball at. But I thought for the
Speaker 1: most part, you know, Mark Sanchez kept the ball out
Speaker 1: of harm's way until it got late in that game,
Speaker 1: and you could tell that we were going to throw
Speaker 1: the ball on just about every down. So now Tampa
Speaker 1: is sitting back playing coverage, waiting on any type of
Speaker 1: an errand throw. I also like the mobility you saw
Speaker 1: from him. Yeah, the fourteen yards scramble early in the game,
Speaker 1: and that's what he brings to the table, and you
Speaker 1: figured that's what the Eagles would want to build around
Speaker 1: the fact that obviously you didn't have Ryan Matthews, but
Speaker 1: you did have Demarca Murray. But you also had the
Speaker 1: added presence of someone who the Bucks had to account
Speaker 1: for out of the backfield from the quarterback position, which
Speaker 1: is unlike the case when Sam Bradford is in at quarterback.
Speaker 1: So that's something that I figured the Eagles would try
Speaker 1: to use to their advantage. They did a little bit
Speaker 1: of it early on in the game, but unfortunately, again
Speaker 1: the game just got out of hand. The Bucks score
Speaker 1: twenty one consecutive points after a seven seven tie at
Speaker 1: the end of the first quarter, twenty eight to seven,
Speaker 1: twenty eight to fourteen after the break, and then after
Speaker 1: that long, nearly ten minute long drive to start the
Speaker 1: third quarter, they kept showing the sideline where it's all
Speaker 1: the offensive players. Oh, speak of offense. Let's go back
Speaker 1: to the link where quarterback Mark Sanchez is speaking. Now,
Speaker 1: let's see, Well, we moved the ball in spurts pretty well.
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, they made some pretty good
Speaker 1: plays on defense. They had us, they had a good
Speaker 1: plan for us, and just some plays we've got to
Speaker 1: execute a little better across the board. So we'll take
Speaker 1: a look at it. And we got a quick turnaround,
Speaker 1: so there's uh, you know, no time to dwell on it.
Speaker 1: What happened the interception? Yeah, I probably could have held
Speaker 1: it a second longer to get one into arts there
Speaker 1: or sell it rather. And um, you know, I think
Speaker 1: fifty four just squeezed it. So I gotta get somewhere
Speaker 1: else with the ball, and especially in field goal range
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, we uh, I mean we got that
Speaker 1: cleared up real quick. Um. You know, we both our competitors,
Speaker 1: we're both trying to win, and um, you know, emotions
Speaker 1: kind of get going in a in a loss like that,
Speaker 1: and so you know it's not really sprowls as fall.
Speaker 1: We gotta get that man and man guy on a
Speaker 1: screen like that and versus man, we gotta uh get
Speaker 1: that guy blocked, and I'm trying to get it over
Speaker 1: a D lineman to Sprowls, and it looks like he's
Speaker 1: on the run, so I'm trying to lead him on
Speaker 1: the run and let him just you know, squired out
Speaker 1: the backside there. Um, and so he stopped. So I
Speaker 1: had already let the ball go, and when he stopped,
Speaker 1: that's why I was upset. But then look him back
Speaker 1: at the replay and see why he stopped, and so, um,
Speaker 1: they just fifty four made a pretty good play, and um,
Speaker 1: you know we we had run that play a couple
Speaker 1: of times. So it's it's too bad it ended up
Speaker 1: like that, but we're all good. We talked about it,
Speaker 1: and um, he's a heck of a player and he's
Speaker 1: trying to make a play just like I am and
Speaker 1: just didn't work out. You were better than in this league, yep.
Speaker 1: And it seemed like the discussion between YouTube passion before
Speaker 1: it even got into the sideline, you regret how you
Speaker 1: handled that moment. No. I mean, look, we're in the
Speaker 1: middle of a game where getting beat pretty good, and
Speaker 1: you know, I'm pissed that he stopped and he's mad
Speaker 1: that I didn't throw it right to him, and there's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. And so the mature part is
Speaker 1: that we talked about it again if we would have
Speaker 1: left it there, and just all right, you screwed up, No,
Speaker 1: you screwed up, and then move on. Well, now we
Speaker 1: don't get to the bottom of it. But spros he's
Speaker 1: a total pro and a great player. And I know,
Speaker 1: you know, as mad as I was, I need to
Speaker 1: hear his opinion, and he wanted to hear what I
Speaker 1: had to say. And then you get you move on.
Speaker 1: And they just made a good play. Offense seemed to
Speaker 1: run very well under you even through the first time
Speaker 1: until hit did it. Their offense sort of taking the
Speaker 1: whole minum to the third quarter to death for you guys,
Speaker 1: off I don't know. I mean, we can't worry about
Speaker 1: what the other two phases of of the team are doing,
Speaker 1: you know, just like the defense can't worry about if
Speaker 1: we score fifty points or you know, ten points. They're
Speaker 1: they're just trying to get the ball back to us,
Speaker 1: and then it's hard to have to score. Well, we
Speaker 1: can't worry about the other team's offense. We just have
Speaker 1: to take every possession, you know, for what it's worth
Speaker 1: and make the most of it. And unfortunately we didn't
Speaker 1: get a chance to do that. Like you feel like
Speaker 1: the offense serves as much play as defense. A lot
Speaker 1: of people are going to point to all the ards
Speaker 1: given up, but you feel like, you guys let this
Speaker 1: team down as much as oh, look where there's uh
Speaker 1: you know, we're not pointing any fingers at any side
Speaker 1: of the ball at all. That's not what we do
Speaker 1: around here. We all look at ourselves and I can
Speaker 1: speak for our own unit and for myself, and we
Speaker 1: didn't do enough to win the game on the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. But just that's it. That's that's
Speaker 1: the way it goes, and that's the way we think
Speaker 1: of it as an offense. You know, the defense is
Speaker 1: going to have their own opinions on what they need
Speaker 1: to get better, and we all go back and take
Speaker 1: a look in the mirror to take a look at
Speaker 1: this film. And then, like I said, we got a
Speaker 1: quick turnaround, so um, there's no time to dwell on
Speaker 1: it and no time to point fingers. We don't do that.
Speaker 1: You are you are what your record, he says. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is four and sixteen. Yeah, it's this I'm a
Speaker 1: low average teams. Well, I don't know. I mean, we'll
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: We still got some football to play, so, um, you
Speaker 1: know those big picture of questions and we'll stay away
Speaker 1: from those until until the end of the year. You
Speaker 1: guys can can worry about that gain. Oh, I have
Speaker 1: no idea. I just want to you know, improve upon
Speaker 1: things that went wrong in this game and um, you know,
Speaker 1: play the very best I can if I get another shot,
Speaker 1: a challenge an album, got a short turnaround to get
Speaker 1: pass this one of the joint at the couple that
Speaker 1: will be both in terms of incorporation for the Droit
Speaker 1: and trying to get this game. Oh, I mean you just,
Speaker 1: uh you have to be a pro and bring the
Speaker 1: young guys along, um, guys who haven't been in this
Speaker 1: situation before. That we're gonna get a chance to play
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, which is gonna be great. You know you
Speaker 1: at uh your family back home watching and we'll get
Speaker 1: a you know, like a minting bye week after that
Speaker 1: to get guys healthy and um, you know, this could
Speaker 1: be the start of something good. So we just need
Speaker 1: to uh to improve upon some of the things that
Speaker 1: didn't go right today and um, you know, get some
Speaker 1: things fixed. But we have we have plenty of talent
Speaker 1: to do it. I know, we have a great coaching staff.
Speaker 1: We have uh, we have the firepower. So we'll we'll
Speaker 1: figure it out, get a fixed and try and get
Speaker 1: a win on Thursday. The wordable was the issue. Uh
Speaker 1: just you know, poor execution on third down across the board, Uh,
Speaker 1: from the quarterback spot to you know everybody. We all
Speaker 1: just got to get better and um, sustained some drives.
Speaker 1: Is there any constellations as you guys? Oh, all that's
Speaker 1: like that too. It's it's a big picture deal. We
Speaker 1: just got to stay within the week we're playing and
Speaker 1: unfortunately today it didn't go right. But we get another
Speaker 1: chance on Thursday, and uh, you know, we can't worry
Speaker 1: about all those what other teams are doing. We just
Speaker 1: gotta keep playing and keep improving. And I know that's
Speaker 1: not what you want to hear, sorry, but that's really
Speaker 1: our mindset. We don't we don't worry about anything on
Speaker 1: the outside. Thanks guys. All right, there's quarterback Mark Sanchez
Speaker 1: following the Eagles forty five to seventeen loss at the
Speaker 1: hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. One thing to recap
Speaker 1: on that, like when it comes to the wide receiver position,
Speaker 1: Sanchez and Jordan Matthews had tremendous chemistry a year ago.
Speaker 1: Early in the game, Matthews was flex outside. They utilize
Speaker 1: him as an outside receiver, obviously trying to get more
Speaker 1: production after what happened last week against the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: What did you think of that move and do you
Speaker 1: think maybe that doesn't take advantage of Sanchez's talents in
Speaker 1: terms of being able to hit down the field, especially
Speaker 1: in the middle, and that's where he likes to throw
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, Sanchez throughout his career has always
Speaker 1: been a guy who likes to throw the ball down
Speaker 1: to hash marks in between the numbers. I think moving
Speaker 1: Jordan around, I think it is also a way to
Speaker 1: try to free him up from someone the coverages the
Speaker 1: defenses have started doing. He's been too easy to find
Speaker 1: in the offense and so moving him around, I think
Speaker 1: it is going to be beneficial. Again, it's Mark's first
Speaker 1: week is starting. Don't expect him to be clicking as
Speaker 1: if they've been playing eight nine weeks in a row
Speaker 1: like we started to see him do late last year.
Speaker 1: Just hopefully things get better chemistry wise for them come Thursday.
Speaker 1: But I do think it's very beneficial to move Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews around because I just think he's just too easy
Speaker 1: to defend if he's going to be in the slot
Speaker 1: all the time. So moving him around a little bit,
Speaker 1: I think it will be beneficial for him as he
Speaker 1: moves forward. All right, So you've heard from the head coach,

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the postgame show presented by Rico here
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia Eagles dot com. It's time for a little
Speaker 1: bit more all twenty two analysis we showed you some
Speaker 1: of what happened on the defensive the football. Now let's
Speaker 1: look at the offense. Let's bring in Great Cosell to
Speaker 1: analyze Josh Huff's touchdown as well as Darren Sprowls's touchdowns
Speaker 1: from the first half of today's loss against the Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: I want to show you the two touchdowns by the
Speaker 1: Eagles in the first half. They were both pass plays
Speaker 1: and they came on basic concepts that we see throughout
Speaker 1: the NFL. The first touchdown was to Josh Huff. Josh
Speaker 1: Huff is up here, split outside the numbers. Now he's
Speaker 1: going to run a slant route. Now, the combination route
Speaker 1: that goes with this is the flat route by zach Ertz.
Speaker 1: He's going to run to the flat. Now, what you're
Speaker 1: going to get here. It's against man free coverage. So
Speaker 1: the underneath defender who's playing zach Ertz will run with him,
Speaker 1: opening up the passing lane to Josh Huff. Let's clear
Speaker 1: the screen and we'll see how this works. Very basic concept.
Speaker 1: Urts into the flat, the slant right behind it, catches
Speaker 1: it in the open space. It was man to man coverage,
Speaker 1: and now Josh Huff becomes a sense The Great punt
Speaker 1: returner that he's been throughout his career, and he runs
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Well executed, basic concept. Now the second
Speaker 1: play for a touchdown that was also a really basic play,
Speaker 1: but really well executed. It's going to be a screen
Speaker 1: to Darren Sprowles. Who's a line here. Now, Sprowles is
Speaker 1: going to cross the formation over here. But the key
Speaker 1: thing here again, the Bucks are playing man coverage man
Speaker 1: free coverage. The linebacker Kwan Alexander. He has Sprowls man
Speaker 1: to man. Now, when you run a screen, particularly crossing
Speaker 1: the formation, what you have to do is get the
Speaker 1: player covering the screen receiver blocked. So let's clear the
Speaker 1: screen and we'll see how that gets done. It's going
Speaker 1: to be Jason Kelsey, who's going to block Alexander right here,
Speaker 1: there's the block. Here's Sprowls right here, and now there's
Speaker 1: no one. This is all empty space right here, there's
Speaker 1: no one else. You just have the deep safety and
Speaker 1: then you have a wide receiver here who's going to block.
Speaker 1: So you have a lot of space. You get that
Speaker 1: player covering the screen, receiver block, you get a beautifully
Speaker 1: designed screen with a lot of open space. Sprowles goes
Speaker 1: for the touchdown. Two touchdowns, two really basic, well executed
Speaker 1: pass game concepts. All right, thank you very much. Greg.
Speaker 1: Now it's time to go to the phone lines. Let's
Speaker 1: welcome in Peter from Oakland to the postgame show presented
Speaker 1: by Rico. Welcome Peter there. And he is not there.
Speaker 1: So as we start to look forward again, if you
Speaker 1: want to jump in two and five, three, three, nine,
Speaker 1: six seven zero nine is the cell phone number? Is
Speaker 1: it a good thing? And I guess it's the only
Speaker 1: way you could take it to the fact that the
Speaker 1: next game is on Thursday against the Detroit Lions, that
Speaker 1: they're going to be in at eight am tomorrow morning,
Speaker 1: as Chef Kelly said, to finally just put this to
Speaker 1: bed and move on to get ready for the lines. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. From a and coaches standpoint, they
Speaker 1: want to get this this game out of their mouth,
Speaker 1: out of their minds as quickly as possible. The benefit
Speaker 1: of plan on Thursday night in such a short week,
Speaker 1: you don't have time to sit back and and and
Speaker 1: you know, worry about what you did today. I mean, really,
Speaker 1: once you watch the film to night, you got to
Speaker 1: move on to the Lions for Thursday because the last
Speaker 1: thing you want is for this loss to having lingering
Speaker 1: effect into Thursday's game, and it already seems as if
Speaker 1: the Dolphin loss sort of lingered into this game. You
Speaker 1: don't want a three game losing streak with ten games
Speaker 1: with ten days that have to sit on it getting
Speaker 1: prepared for that new England game. So um, they're going
Speaker 1: to get back to the drawing board tomorrow, get this
Speaker 1: loss out of their mouth, and move on to that
Speaker 1: Hawaii Blue as fast as possible. All Right, We're gonna
Speaker 1: go back to the phone line and welcome in Rashim
Speaker 1: to the post game show presented by Rico. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the show. Hey, what's up? What's up? Man? I just
Speaker 1: this is saying I really don't want it, saying exactly
Speaker 1: how you could come out so flat you enthusiasm, Um,
Speaker 1: you seem like anytime it was a problem. I didn't
Speaker 1: see Tim Kelly mad at all through the connities or
Speaker 1: the or the lack of production for certain players in
Speaker 1: and as I you know, as I keep hearing a
Speaker 1: far like the wide receivers, Um, you gotta look very
Speaker 1: way to throw them the ball. Each each remark chances
Speaker 1: was making was in the middle of the tild I
Speaker 1: rather him throw in the ships at least trying to
Speaker 1: give the wid receivers chance and they could play on
Speaker 1: the ball when you're not giving nobody's chances like they
Speaker 1: just running out there again tired for no apparent reason.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just really disgrace and it's crazy how
Speaker 1: we had to sit here and just watch bad football
Speaker 1: being played every week and not nothing. Shamid shame great
Speaker 1: phone call. And I think that's the biggest thing is
Speaker 1: I feel horrible for the fans at this point, because
Speaker 1: no question, and you're going, you're going to the time
Speaker 1: of years, the holiday week, you know, the time when
Speaker 1: the real football teams, wal good football teams start to
Speaker 1: emerge and separate themselves from the pack, and you want
Speaker 1: to say, look, we belong in that conversation. We should
Speaker 1: be one of those good teams. Hey. The fans were
Speaker 1: out there in full force once again. They could have obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, had their hesitations after the disappointed loss to
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and Chip Kelly said it during a week
Speaker 1: you cannot allow the Miami Dolphins to beat you twice.
Speaker 1: I don't think that so much was the case, but
Speaker 1: I just don't have an answer, And I think that's
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is this team is so confusing at
Speaker 1: this point. You certainly understand that there's talent on the field,
Speaker 1: but why is it not coming together? You figure, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna have some early season struggles because there
Speaker 1: are some new faces in place. There are some new
Speaker 1: players who have to get acclimated to the systems and whatnot,
Speaker 1: get used to one another. Well, I mean, there's it's
Speaker 1: ten games. We're ten games in at this point, so certainly,
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the other sideline, You look
Speaker 1: at Jameis Winston. He's basically not rookie anymore at this point.
Speaker 1: You saw the performance that he had today. You're not
Speaker 1: seeing the guys on this side of the field, the
Speaker 1: midnight green guys stepping up and making those big time plays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: something's not right here, and I wish it was sort
Speaker 1: of one thing that you can put your finger on,
Speaker 1: because you could fix it. But there are several things.
Speaker 1: And now we've gotten to the point, at least this week,
Speaker 1: the defense didn't really show up and play Eagles type
Speaker 1: defense that they've been playing, at least in the run
Speaker 1: game for the last two or three years. Under this
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly regime. And Chip mentioned this last week as
Speaker 1: well after that loss of the Miami Dolphins. But it's
Speaker 1: been sort of a rear current theme doing all of
Speaker 1: the losses this year, that it isn't just one thing.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes it's dropped past it. Sometimes it's you know,
Speaker 1: killing yourself on first down by getting in a penalty situation,
Speaker 1: and actually you know it's first and fifteen or first
Speaker 1: and twenty, getting third and long situations, you know, penalties
Speaker 1: on third down, things of that nature. It's been such
Speaker 1: a such a melting pot of different things all year long.
Speaker 1: It's really hard to sort of hone in on and
Speaker 1: fix it. Because if it was just one thing, you
Speaker 1: could fix that, you know, you could look at it,
Speaker 1: correct it and move on from it. But it's been
Speaker 1: something different each of every week, a different phase of
Speaker 1: the game. And it's really unfortunate because a lot of
Speaker 1: high hopes for this team coming in and sitting at
Speaker 1: four and six right now, it just does not feel good, no,
Speaker 1: not whatsoever. And go into this game, you said, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna be a tough battle. Tampa Bay is
Speaker 1: feeling good. They're young and hungry, they're fighting. They got
Speaker 1: to four and five, but you figured the Eagles should
Speaker 1: find a way to win this game, and it looked
Speaker 1: like Tampa Bay was the more veteran team. On this afternoon,
Speaker 1: we're going back to the phone lines. Were Welcome in
Speaker 1: Kenny from New York. Kenny, Welcome to the Postgame Show
Speaker 1: Pre's anybody Ricoh? Hello, Kenny, You're on the post game
Speaker 1: Show forres Anybody Rico with Chris McPherson and Ike. Chris Welcome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going on. Chris is going on. Ike Man, good
Speaker 1: hear from it? Um yeah, man, yeah a long time.
Speaker 1: I ain't. I ain't tolking y'all. Man, this is disappointed
Speaker 1: that Ike and Chris. Man. I'm telling you, man, this
Speaker 1: is this is horrible. Man. As an Eagle fan, and
Speaker 1: even when we had bad time with Andy reid Man,
Speaker 1: I could never turn the channel. Man. This is this
Speaker 1: is this is horrible. Man. Like you know, I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, deep, it's gonna be up in your face.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're given them free releases off the line.
Speaker 1: I mean it just it just looked terrible. When I'm
Speaker 1: tired of head and chips say the same thing over
Speaker 1: and over by execution, we like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear that no more. Man's just like, I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, he destroyed our team by letting God Macklin
Speaker 1: and and and the trade for Chico Lonzo to for
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs in Eagles history. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: come on, this, it was this is this. I feel
Speaker 1: like the move was a total disaster. And I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to sound like this as an ego fan, but man,
Speaker 1: this is this is crazy And I just want to
Speaker 1: hear your opinion on I know you can't really talk
Speaker 1: about I just want to hear your opinion this on
Speaker 1: these on these all season moves. Man, it's just crazy crazy, Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Kenny, and see, you know, when
Speaker 1: you get to this point, that's that's what you're gonna
Speaker 1: start hearing more of. You gonna hear frustration from fans.
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear frustration from fans and uh, when moves
Speaker 1: that you anticipate working for the bet amount of the
Speaker 1: team don't turn out that way. Now we're all going
Speaker 1: to look back and have sort of revisionist history of
Speaker 1: buyer's remorse. And that's just where fans are with the
Speaker 1: frustration level. And when when they don't see the results
Speaker 1: happen the way they want them to happen on the field.
Speaker 1: People aren't going to like the things you did to
Speaker 1: sort of improve the team unless you improve the team exactly.
Speaker 1: So Kay, thank you very much for the phone call. Like,
Speaker 1: going to this week, You're gonna learn a lot about
Speaker 1: this football team. They're four and six. You know, we
Speaker 1: say every week they have to win this game. They're
Speaker 1: backstort to the wall at this point. And I'm not
Speaker 1: even going to look at anything big picture beyond Thursday.
Speaker 1: I want to see how does this team respond to
Speaker 1: Thursday Thanksgiving Against the Detroit Lions a year Agoing Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: a tremendous time to being an Eagles fan. The Eagles
Speaker 1: routed the Dallas Cowboys. Mark Sanchez had a phenomenal performance.
Speaker 1: The defense dominated. You're hoping to see that again. But
Speaker 1: Detroit they're red hot, all of a sudden winners a
Speaker 1: back to back games. They beat the Packers last week
Speaker 1: and they eat out a win today over the Oakland Raiders.
Speaker 1: So they're at three and seven. I believe going into
Speaker 1: this Thursday's matchup, Yeah, this could be a dangerous game
Speaker 1: for this Eagles team. And I hope the players realize
Speaker 1: this you just just mentioned about, you know, to see
Speaker 1: what type of character they have coming off of a
Speaker 1: tough loss like this. Well, this is a pride game
Speaker 1: in my opinion. You know, you've coming off two straight
Speaker 1: home games where you left the stadium feeling embarrassed, a
Speaker 1: shame to yourself, not looking like an Eagles typical team.
Speaker 1: And Thursday's game is about pride. It's a gut chat game.
Speaker 1: You know, what do you have? Forget about playoff ramifications,
Speaker 1: forget about winning the nfcas think about the last two
Speaker 1: times you've been in between the white lines in the
Speaker 1: National Football League and the type of performance that you
Speaker 1: put out. You don't want to go out there Thursday
Speaker 1: and lay down to a hapless Detroit Lions team. This
Speaker 1: game Thursday is about the pride of the players on
Speaker 1: this team, whether or not they feel like they have
Speaker 1: anything to step on the field and play for. And
Speaker 1: forget about the wins and the losses. It's about playing
Speaker 1: for your pride and the fact that it's a privilege
Speaker 1: to be in this league and it's not a right
Speaker 1: to be in this league. And if these players don't
Speaker 1: understand this by now, you lose three in a row,
Speaker 1: some of you may not have a locker in the
Speaker 1: Novercare Complex when you come back. That's what type of
Speaker 1: game this is Thursday. Certainly, not just to play in
Speaker 1: the NFL, to play in this city, in front of
Speaker 1: this city, that's the thing, because they want to see
Speaker 1: you play with passion. They want to see you put
Speaker 1: your you know, your hard hat on and go out
Speaker 1: there a week in, a week out. Certainly you're not
Speaker 1: going to always have the best performances, but at least
Speaker 1: show the fight, at least show that you're giving some
Speaker 1: effort out there on the field. So Tomorrow, on Monday,
Speaker 1: head coach Chip Kelly well this day after press conference.
Speaker 1: That time is yet to be determined. Make sure you're
Speaker 1: stay tuned for Philadelphi Eagles dot com throughout the evening
Speaker 1: for the least updates on that. Brian Westbrook will co

Speaker 1: five PM. Our schedule of this upcoming week EGLS three
Speaker 1: sixty will come your way Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. So
