WEBVTT - Postgame Show: Eagles Lose 28-30 Against Baltimore 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:04.360 Well. After falling behind early and going down seventeen to 0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:07.200 zero because of a slow start, the Eagles managed to 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.200 get it within two points, but the Ravens recover the 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.160 on side kick at the end, stealing the eagles fate 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:15.880 thirty to twenty eight. Your final score as the Eagles 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.640 fall to Baltimore this afternoon. I'm Amy Campbell. You are 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.480 watching the postgame show presented by Rico. I am joined 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.000 as always by Fran Duffy and Ike g Reece. Ike, 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.239 we will start with you. Let's get some initial thoughts. 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:28.319 The Eagles in it at the end, but really a 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.360 slow start that just couldn't be overcome against a powerful 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.800 Ravens team, a Ravens team that made some mistakes today 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:38.480 and allowed the Eagles to get back in. Yeah. Amy, 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.360 I think a slow start will be the buzzword today. 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.599 I mean, and you're gonna hear us say it a 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.959 few times, and I'm sure Doug and the players when 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.120 they get a chance to talk, that's one of the 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.880 things that will be mentioned first and foremost is that 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.640 they just didn't start this game with the sense of 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.000 urgency that you would have liked to have seen in 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.520 this game. Thought Baltimore was ripe to be beaten a 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.479 day because they haven't been playing their best football. But 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:11.119 the Eagles just really not taking advantage of some opportunities early. 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.840 Couldn't really get anything going until they were down by 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.680 seventeen and got into desperation mode. One with a little 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.960 over seven minutes to go in the game, they were 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.440 down by sixteen points ran they managed to get it 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.319 within two points with a chance to win. A great 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.440 effort there at the end by this team. Some things 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.240 that will point out, of course as we break it down, 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.160 but what are your initial thoughts on this one so far? 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.000 To me, it's the fight and the resiliency, because the 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.400 start was about as bad as it could have gone, right. 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.959 I mean, defensively, you know, there were there were some 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.399 missed assignments in the first half. Offensively, I mean they 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.400 could they couldn't do anything right, you know, the first half. Offensively, 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.360 they couldn't run the ball, they couldn't throw the ball. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.000 It was negative play after negative play after negative play. 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.000 I mean, it was ugly in the first half until 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.360 that final drive and even still could not put points 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.080 on the board. But the way that they were able 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.160 to bounce back and fight in this game. Again, a 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.160 very good Baltimore defense, I think is a really good 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.440 sign for that group moving forward. We thought that it 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.160 took a step in the right direction last week against 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.880 a very good Pittsburgh defense. But to see what Carson Wentz, 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.440 who essentially in the final couple drives put the offense 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.320 on his back, because not only do you come into 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.440 this game without you know, the cast of characters that 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.880 we've talked about, right, you have no DeShawn Jackson, al 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.640 Sean Jeffrey, Jalen raagor Dallas Goddard. But then you lose 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.240 Miles Sanders in the second half, you lose Zach Ertz 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.239 down the stretch, and with what he was able to 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.880 do to fight there, he got hit nineteen million times 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.239 in this game behind the offensive line that he was 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.400 working with. They lose the right tackle in Jack Driss goal, 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.840 they're playing with like their seventh tackle in the game, 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.359 and he still finds a way to be able to 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.799 put points on the board. That run, That forty yard 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.160 run just aculeian effort, Just an outstanding job by Carson 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.359 Wentz down the stretch to put this team in position 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.320 to be able to win the game. Obviously the tie 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.280 it late, but really, I mean the fight and resiliency 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.400 from this team is certainly the big takeaway from me. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.679 A lot of things that really remind me of that 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.000 sixteen game when these two teams faced off back in 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:09.400 Carson's rookie year. I yeah, well, that's a great point 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.160 on Carson Wentz, fran and but he put this team 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.480 on his back, especially that forty yard run to see 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.960 there was no quit in him. Such a competitor and 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.320 when you talk about him running for his life out there, 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.880 stacked six times but definitely hit multiple times, there was 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.640 By the end of this game, Carson Wentz and Jason 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.000 Kelsey were the only original Eagles starters left on this offense. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.760 That's how much they've dealt with injuries, especially on that 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.960 offensive line, just continuing to bring guys in there. Let's 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.640 go now to Dave Spadero and get his thoughts on 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.240 this one. Dave coming to us from Lincoln Financial Field. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.280 A slow start for the Eagles, but a lot of 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.280 heart at the end of this one, and Carson Wentz 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.280 the reason they were in it at the end. Yeah, 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.440 I totally agree. A lot to build on. Carson Wentz 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.680 is a beast. I don't want to hear anybody talk 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.000 about Carson Wentz anymore. I just I know he's had 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.960 his interception problems this year and this and that. But 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.040 with the Eagles have lost seven offensive linemen. They of 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.000 this game without Miles Sanders, the end of this game 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:06.080 without Jack Driscoll, Jimon Brown got pushed around the entire game. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:10.000 The offensive line really struggled. What Carson did was remarkable. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.720 I thought the defense for the most part, played really 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.440 well up front. That did a nice job against Lamar Jackson. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.960 So look, I think there's a lot to build on. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.400 I also look at the Giants in five days here, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.320 zach Ertz limping to the field, limping off the field, 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.960 Driscoll going off in a cart, Malik Jackson with a 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.520 quad injury. Somehow, the Eagles need to get some players 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.000 back before Thursday. There's there's definitely something to build on here, 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.120 and I think we all would recognize that Travis Folgham 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.560 at this point appears to be the real deal. Dave. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.560 I'm interested to kind of get your thoughts. Obviously, it's 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.560 extremely early. We're coming off the field for this game 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.839 here in week six, but you mentioned the short week 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.839 the short turnaround with Miles Sanders status up in the 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.479 air with his knee injury leaving the game, zach Ertz 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.039 leaving the game. Is there any hope that you know 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.000 any of these other guys that we're talking about, whether 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.760 it's Deshaun, it's Alshon, Jeffrey, Jalen, Rager on inje Reserve, 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.279 any of these guys have the potential you think for Thursday. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.920 I mean, we don't know. It's early, but is there 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.120 any thought I would thought I would think that DeShawn 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.440 has a real chance. I would think Alshan, who's been 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.279 in practice the last couple of weeks, has a real chance. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.960 I would think that Saymalo possibly Jason Peterson is eligible 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:20.920 to come off ir as well. Can you get him 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:22.280 right back on the field and with a day or 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.880 two of practice. I don't know about that. Jamal Brown. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.240 The Eagles need to do something at the right guard position. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.400 I mean, they bring in Brett Tilt to play right tackle. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.280 He's been with the team for a week. So yeah, 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.880 these are very desperate times from an injury standpoint, But 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.159 this is the football team with no Marja Frero okay none. 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.840 You can't miss field goals Jake Elliot, You've missed three 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.200 fifty yard plus field goals. You can't turn the football 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.799 over Carson Wentz in the red zone. The defense another 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:55.120 poor performance in the red zone. So as much as 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.760 we want to build on the comeback, and I agree, 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.160 it is just like last week, something to build on. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.960 It's sure would be nice to see the Philadelphia Eagles 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.480 play from ahead. And if they can do that against 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.760 the Giants and the Cowboys get to three four and one, 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.040 get to the bye week, you can really have a 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.480 nice second half of the season. Here's something very competitive 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.080 in the NFC East. But with all these injuries, it's 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.120 really tough. And look at that last play, a busted 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:26.280 play offensive line got caved in Carson in the process 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.240 of kind of a readoption. I guess he was handing 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.880 it off to Boston Scott. Not quite sure the play 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.599 got blown up, but you know the Eagles offensive life, 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.119 they can just get it and they were just getting 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:41.520 it too adequate. And then another raft of injuries today 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.640 day you brought up you brought up, Jake Elliott. Now 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.160 we don't usually talk about kickers and punners unless they 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:51.920 have a game winning kick or what have you, but 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.680 you mentioned the three field goals that he's missed from 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.400 fifty plus yards. He certainly has the leg to make 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.760 those kicks from a distance. Point, what do you think 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.160 is going on with him this year? That? I mean, 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.960 he's missed some some makeable field goals. So he missed 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.760 fifty three I think it was in was at Washington, 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.600 he missed last week at Pittsburgh, what was the fifty seven, 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.800 and then today fifty plus as well. I think all 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.680 three were to the right, So he's clearly got something 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.720 mechanical going on, certainly has the legike. You know, we've 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.000 through the career of Jake Elliot that's been remarkably consistent. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.280 I think he's had a field goal make rate of 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.520 like eighty three point seven percent something like that, and 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.040 it was one of those guys who always made the 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.520 long ones and sometimes struggled from the easy ones the 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.600 thirty five yard field goal. So I don't know what's 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.080 going on with Jake, but I know that with this 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.880 team with such a razor thin margin for error, your 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.880 field goal kicker has to make them, and we saw 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.720 what Baltimore did. Anytime they're inside the forty yard line, 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.520 Tucker is automatic and so Jake's got to get back 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.000 to that, Dave. I'd like to bring it back to 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.080 the offensive playmakers. You know, what are the guys that 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.679 we haven't talked about yet, you know, without Zach Ertz, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.640 without Miles Sanders and all the other players that we've 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.360 talked about as being out of the lineup. You know, 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.280 one guy I felt I gave them a spark in 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.720 this game alongside Carson Wentz was Jalen Hurts. You know, 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.880 especially in the middle parts of this game, second and 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.560 third quarter. I'm into just get your thoughts on the 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.200 performance of the rookie in this game. Yeah. Interesting. You know, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.400 at one point, fran I actually thought, why are the 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.240 Eagles showing this play right now? You know, they're on 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.520 the verge're getting blown out against the Baltimore Ravens, and 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:39.120 they've got a throwback Jalen to Carson, you know, back 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.559 to Jalen's So I'm like, what are you doing putting 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.920 this on tape right now? But I understand it. You 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.760 want to get the football in his hands. He certainly 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:50.680 is dynamic, and I understand it. The way this run 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.520 game is again a seventy four yard run from Miles 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.520 Sanders some good yards on the ground from the quarterbacks. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.640 Really nothing from Boston Scott and Corey Clement. So however, 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.520 you can put your talented players like Jalen Hurts on 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.960 the field, get the ball in his hands, you gotta 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.520 find a way to do it. So I look for 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.120 more creativity from Doug in the offensive coaching staff with 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.200 number two in the weeks to come here. Huge, huge 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.400 game on Thursday, and I got to even credit. You 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.880 called it on the radio pregame that the Eagles would 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.360 win this game. You were roundly mocked and for most 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.240 of the game, I'm sure you were thinking, I really 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.360 blew this. But the Eagles certainly were right there at 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.400 the end. And I will tell you that the atmosphere 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.160 in the stands at Linko Financial Field, even though the 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.600 numbers were down, I applaud the fans. They were great, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.480 and I think the players responded because of the fans. 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.079 First two games at Linko Financial Field, Eagles in the 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.000 second half had no life at all. Today they did 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.600 save when you talk about that razor thin margin for 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.040 error when you looked at this game today, Doug Peterson, 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.640 very aggressive, went for two every single time, didn't get 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.720 it the first time didn't get it the last time. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.280 Of course, then my mind starts thinking, okay, well, if 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.120 they had just kicked the extra point the first time, 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:05.800 you don't have to go for it the last time. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.240 Is that that margin for error that they need to 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.600 be that aggressive every time or is it just being 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.679 so careful in picking your spots and having it go right? Honestly, 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.160 any I think that in Doug's going to get criticized 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.440 for that, there's no question about it. But that's what 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.640 he is and that's what he's been from day one. 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.640 I mean, that is what Doug Peterson is. He he 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.720 knows he's got an offense that is struggling to score points, 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:29.719 so if he has a chance to go for the 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.760 two point conversion, even if it doesn't make sense, he's 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:37.720 going to do it. So it costs Eagles today, but 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.439 they were still in position there at the end to 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:44.240 tie the game, and just a blown play, blown offensive 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.080 assignment upfront, whatever they were trying to do didn't work. 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.600 But I certainly understand what people criticize Doug, but that's 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.160 just who he is. He's not going to shy away 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.520 from that. That's his personality and he owns it well. 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.199 I think that's the thing that most of the fans 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.400 love about him as well. So that's what you take. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.160 You have to take all of it together when you 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.320 embrace this kind of thing about a head coach, and 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.319 I will take it every single day day. Thanks so 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:11.480 much for your insight. All right, thanks guys. All right, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.440 I think we should go back to Jalen Hurts because 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.240 when you talk about the spark that was provided, the 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.000 Eagles did not have a single first down until he 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.480 got one with his big twenty yard run that we 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:22.960 are going to break down a little bit later, but 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.040 let me go to you first with this, and then 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.120 fran I'll have you chime in after. But let's talk 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.520 about what we saw from Jalen Hurts, how the coaches 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.640 used him, and just the spark that he provided to 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.320 this offense. That was really when things started to get 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:38.920 going for this Eagles team. Yeah. I loved it. I 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.200 loved it. I'm asking for more Jalen Hurts just because 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:49.320 this offense is so devoid of explosiveness and players that 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.000 can sort of create on their own, and I think 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:56.120 Jalen Hurts is a fantastic athlete still learning how to 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.920 play quarterback in the NFL. But until then, use the 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.600 assets that you have had. He has a great ability 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.640 to run the ball. He has a solid football frame, 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.920 so he's not a fragile guy that you have to 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.680 worry about getting injured. He can get on the perimeter, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.560 he can make people miss. I love it, and he 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.200 has the ability to throw the ball. So um I 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.000 was looking for more. It's a couple of weeks ago, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.880 Amy and fran I was calling for a ten play 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.400 Jalen Hurts package and it seemed like they went deep 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.280 into that package today and then got away from it. 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.200 U with the amount of injuries suffered at the skilled 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.600 position so far. I mean, man, what's the point. He's 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.000 a second round draft pick. He doesn't no good to 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.960 staying over there holding the clipboard watching the game. Put 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.840 him in there, and if he can get you some 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.880 first downs or even a touchdown, why not? I love it? 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.440 What do you think to me? I mean, coming into 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.559 this game, he had played twelve snaps. In those twelve snaps, 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.079 you got six first downs. You know, regardless of how 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.440 they were, how they can whether it was Jalen Hurts 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.880 as a runner, as a thrower, or as a decoy. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.280 The Eagles had some success with him on the football field. Now, 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.600 the other part of that too was two balls ended 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.840 up on the ground in those twelve snaps. Again, coming 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.440 into this game, I'm interested to look back and see 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.880 all because there are a few plays where the broadcast 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.480 didn't even talk about him, but he was out on 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.480 the field. So I'm excited to go back and watch 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.720 the film and get a sense of ultimately how he 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.120 was used, but getting a chance to see him in 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.840 an expanded role I think, look especially going into this 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.800 week Thursday night. It is a short week, but all 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.200 of these things are in the game plan already, so 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.040 I'm interested to see if they are shorthanded at the 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.080 skill position player spot going into Thursday night, if we 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:40.679 see a little bit of an expanded role here for 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.080 Jalen hurts Well certainly provided the spark today on offense. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.680 Let's get into some of the things that stood out 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.760 to you today big picture. What is one of the 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:53.400 big things you're thinking about after this game. We mentioned 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.959 an earlier Amy fran about the slow start. I mean, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.120 I don't know if they could have gotten off to 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.160 a worst start offensively the way this game started three 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.520 and out, three and out, three and out, three and out, 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.120 I mean sacks here, a forced fumbled air. It's just 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.560 it's like they couldn't do anything for almost a quarter 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.240 and a half and then you get down seventeen to 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.200 nothing and then they finally get it together. I thought 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.640 the defense, you know, put into some tough situations early 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.920 in the game, and they were fighting to keep Baltimore 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.120 out of the end zone. But the fact that they 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.320 were on the field so much in the first half, 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.200 it just didn't help them out. So the slow start 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.200 to the game not something I was anticipating. It looked 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.560 like the offense was really lifeless in that first half, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.160 and you didn't find you didn't have anybody make a play. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.760 I mean, Wentz couldn't couldn't connect on passes. You know, 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:53.160 we're gonna talk about missed opportunities. John high Tower, my goodness, man, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.400 he'll be thinking about that when all night long about 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.200 that dropped deep ball that Carson was able to throw 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.480 to him. Just a slow start in this game, and 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.320 when you're going up against a team like Baltimore, Man, 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.360 you can't afford to get all to a slow start. 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.600 The Eagles in that until the Jalen Hurts run with 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.840 about five minutes to go in the half. They had 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.840 minus seven yards of offense up to that point, and 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.080 I agree with you, John high Tower is going to 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.920 be thinking about that one. But fran I think at 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.560 this point, when you are playing rookie wide receivers, receivers 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.320 with a ton of potential, a ton of talent, there's 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.320 going to be moments like that, there's going to be 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.240 rookie growing pains. And if anything, I am so excited 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.720 to see what he did with that big touchdown to 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.240 rebound from a moment like that and show that short 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.440 term memory, no question, And he had the fifty yard 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.480 or late as well, So being able to see him 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.480 bounce back from that has been good. And he's done 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.000 that throughout the year. I feel like every single every 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.720 single week he has made some negative plays and then 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.960 he's bounced back and made some good ones. And that's 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.240 a good thing. Rookies are going to make bad plays. 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.200 That's that's a factive life for the NFL. And I 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:58.640 know that, you know, when we look around the league 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.720 and you see, you know, young guys make plays, you know, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.680 maybe we only see the good from rookies on other teams, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.120 But rookies are gonna make negative plays. It's about how 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.600 they bounced back. So seeing high Tower kind of bounce 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.200 back from that come, you know, after that tough drop, 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.880 make the play. Humphrey tried to punch the ball out 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:15.960 down the sideline on that one, and he was able 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.840 to hold on to the football, which to me, again, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.840 good good thing there from John high Tower. Yes, thank 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.560 you for correcting me not to touchdown the fifty yard catch. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.400 They're from John high Tower. You mentioned Marlon Humphrey, and 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.040 I felt like for a lot of this game we 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.560 just watched highlights of him trying to punch the ball out, 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.320 and of course that being Baltimore specialty. I feel like 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.080 overall there were some moments where the Eagles were bitten 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.560 by this, but I think for the most part they 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.320 did a pretty good job considering the amount of attempts, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.600 but still not enough in the end. And if you 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.080 keep if you don't turn the ball over, of course, 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.520 that could be the difference in this game. Let's continue 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.360 with some of the things you want to discuss here. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:57.600 What else stood out to you? Missed opportunities, you know, 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.800 missed opportunities on both sides of the ball. Mind you 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.120 talked about the John Hightower dropped early in the game 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:09.080 on that first series, but also Miles Sanders, you know, 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:13.560 looked over the outside shoulder and Carson is placing the 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.000 ball on the inside shoulder, and by the time he 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.359 turned around with enough time, I just think he may 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.520 have lost it a little bit in the sun. Not 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.920 able to pull that when in that was a golden 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:30.720 opportunity to score a touchdown there, fourth and inches, Carson 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.720 not being able to quarterback schneak for a first down, 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.720 missed opportunity there to score points on that drive. Jake 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:42.080 Elliott missing a makeable field goal, missed opportunity there. And 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.479 then on defense, you know, Lamar Jackson was struggling in 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.800 that first half with his accuracy and a couple of 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.440 balls got tipped up in the air. We didn't come 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.960 down with the interception. I mean, people have been coming 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.840 down with turnovers against us all year long. Man, it 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.240 would have been nice to get one of those against 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.240 the Baltimore Ravens deep in their territory early in the game, 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.280 and maybe that helps set up a scoring opportunity for 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.479 your offense. And so just you know, those are the 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.560 type of things that when the players get home tonight 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.280 and the coaches get a chance to rewatch this game. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:22.119 The final score already is gonna be sickening because you 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.280 realize you're only lost by two points. But when you 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.679 think about the opportunities they had in that first half 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.919 to really put points on the board and have the 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.800 second half play out differently, those are the things that 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.879 as a player that is tough to get over because 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.560 you know those opportunities are hard to come by, and 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.240 the Eagles had several of them in the first half 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.680 where they could have even been leading this game at halftime. Well, 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.359 if you're looking at the numbers and comparing both teams 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:54.000 pretty close overall, except there's the big one that jumps out, 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.360 the time of possession. The Ravens controlled the ball for 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.359 thirty six minutes and thirty seconds compared to twenty minutes 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.560 and thirty seconds toward the Eagles and fran When you're 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.439 looking at this Ravens offense, they were able to control 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.040 the clock, control the ball. Was it their run game 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.040 that was able to do this so effectively? How were 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.360 they able to really impose their will when it came 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.160 to controlling the clock in this one? Yeah, two things 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:16.919 it would be the run game. But I was going 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.040 to actually follow up on Ike's point, and it goes 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.119 to that question Amy, some of those missed opportunities in 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.560 the first half. How about three third and ten conversions 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.440 for the Ravens offense in this game that led to 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.960 touchdowns that were on touchdown drive. So you're talking about 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.000
