Speaker 1: Well. After falling behind early and going down seventeen to
Speaker 1: zero because of a slow start, the Eagles managed to
Speaker 1: get it within two points, but the Ravens recover the
Speaker 1: on side kick at the end, stealing the eagles fate
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty eight. Your final score as the Eagles
Speaker 1: fall to Baltimore this afternoon. I'm Amy Campbell. You are
Speaker 1: watching the postgame show presented by Rico. I am joined
Speaker 1: as always by Fran Duffy and Ike g Reece. Ike,
Speaker 1: we will start with you. Let's get some initial thoughts.
Speaker 1: The Eagles in it at the end, but really a
Speaker 1: slow start that just couldn't be overcome against a powerful
Speaker 1: Ravens team, a Ravens team that made some mistakes today
Speaker 1: and allowed the Eagles to get back in. Yeah. Amy,
Speaker 1: I think a slow start will be the buzzword today.
Speaker 1: I mean, and you're gonna hear us say it a
Speaker 1: few times, and I'm sure Doug and the players when
Speaker 1: they get a chance to talk, that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that will be mentioned first and foremost is that
Speaker 1: they just didn't start this game with the sense of
Speaker 1: urgency that you would have liked to have seen in
Speaker 1: this game. Thought Baltimore was ripe to be beaten a
Speaker 1: day because they haven't been playing their best football. But
Speaker 1: the Eagles just really not taking advantage of some opportunities early.
Speaker 1: Couldn't really get anything going until they were down by
Speaker 1: seventeen and got into desperation mode. One with a little
Speaker 1: over seven minutes to go in the game, they were
Speaker 1: down by sixteen points ran they managed to get it
Speaker 1: within two points with a chance to win. A great
Speaker 1: effort there at the end by this team. Some things
Speaker 1: that will point out, of course as we break it down,
Speaker 1: but what are your initial thoughts on this one so far?
Speaker 1: To me, it's the fight and the resiliency, because the
Speaker 1: start was about as bad as it could have gone, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, defensively, you know, there were there were some
Speaker 1: missed assignments in the first half. Offensively, I mean they
Speaker 1: could they couldn't do anything right, you know, the first half. Offensively,
Speaker 1: they couldn't run the ball, they couldn't throw the ball.
Speaker 1: It was negative play after negative play after negative play.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was ugly in the first half until
Speaker 1: that final drive and even still could not put points
Speaker 1: on the board. But the way that they were able
Speaker 1: to bounce back and fight in this game. Again, a
Speaker 1: very good Baltimore defense, I think is a really good
Speaker 1: sign for that group moving forward. We thought that it
Speaker 1: took a step in the right direction last week against
Speaker 1: a very good Pittsburgh defense. But to see what Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: who essentially in the final couple drives put the offense
Speaker 1: on his back, because not only do you come into
Speaker 1: this game without you know, the cast of characters that
Speaker 1: we've talked about, right, you have no DeShawn Jackson, al
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey, Jalen raagor Dallas Goddard. But then you lose
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders in the second half, you lose Zach Ertz
Speaker 1: down the stretch, and with what he was able to
Speaker 1: do to fight there, he got hit nineteen million times
Speaker 1: in this game behind the offensive line that he was
Speaker 1: working with. They lose the right tackle in Jack Driss goal,
Speaker 1: they're playing with like their seventh tackle in the game,
Speaker 1: and he still finds a way to be able to
Speaker 1: put points on the board. That run, That forty yard
Speaker 1: run just aculeian effort, Just an outstanding job by Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz down the stretch to put this team in position
Speaker 1: to be able to win the game. Obviously the tie
Speaker 1: it late, but really, I mean the fight and resiliency
Speaker 1: from this team is certainly the big takeaway from me.
Speaker 1: A lot of things that really remind me of that
Speaker 1: sixteen game when these two teams faced off back in
Speaker 1: Carson's rookie year. I yeah, well, that's a great point
Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz, fran and but he put this team
Speaker 1: on his back, especially that forty yard run to see
Speaker 1: there was no quit in him. Such a competitor and
Speaker 1: when you talk about him running for his life out there,
Speaker 1: stacked six times but definitely hit multiple times, there was
Speaker 1: By the end of this game, Carson Wentz and Jason
Speaker 1: Kelsey were the only original Eagles starters left on this offense.
Speaker 1: That's how much they've dealt with injuries, especially on that
Speaker 1: offensive line, just continuing to bring guys in there. Let's
Speaker 1: go now to Dave Spadero and get his thoughts on
Speaker 1: this one. Dave coming to us from Lincoln Financial Field.
Speaker 1: A slow start for the Eagles, but a lot of
Speaker 1: heart at the end of this one, and Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: the reason they were in it at the end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I totally agree. A lot to build on. Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: is a beast. I don't want to hear anybody talk
Speaker 1: about Carson Wentz anymore. I just I know he's had
Speaker 1: his interception problems this year and this and that. But
Speaker 1: with the Eagles have lost seven offensive linemen. They of
Speaker 1: this game without Miles Sanders, the end of this game
Speaker 1: without Jack Driscoll, Jimon Brown got pushed around the entire game.
Speaker 1: The offensive line really struggled. What Carson did was remarkable.
Speaker 1: I thought the defense for the most part, played really
Speaker 1: well up front. That did a nice job against Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: So look, I think there's a lot to build on.
Speaker 1: I also look at the Giants in five days here,
Speaker 1: zach Ertz limping to the field, limping off the field,
Speaker 1: Driscoll going off in a cart, Malik Jackson with a
Speaker 1: quad injury. Somehow, the Eagles need to get some players
Speaker 1: back before Thursday. There's there's definitely something to build on here,
Speaker 1: and I think we all would recognize that Travis Folgham
Speaker 1: at this point appears to be the real deal. Dave.
Speaker 1: I'm interested to kind of get your thoughts. Obviously, it's
Speaker 1: extremely early. We're coming off the field for this game
Speaker 1: here in week six, but you mentioned the short week
Speaker 1: the short turnaround with Miles Sanders status up in the
Speaker 1: air with his knee injury leaving the game, zach Ertz
Speaker 1: leaving the game. Is there any hope that you know
Speaker 1: any of these other guys that we're talking about, whether
Speaker 1: it's Deshaun, it's Alshon, Jeffrey, Jalen, Rager on inje Reserve,
Speaker 1: any of these guys have the potential you think for Thursday.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know. It's early, but is there
Speaker 1: any thought I would thought I would think that DeShawn
Speaker 1: has a real chance. I would think Alshan, who's been
Speaker 1: in practice the last couple of weeks, has a real chance.
Speaker 1: I would think that Saymalo possibly Jason Peterson is eligible
Speaker 1: to come off ir as well. Can you get him
Speaker 1: right back on the field and with a day or
Speaker 1: two of practice. I don't know about that. Jamal Brown.
Speaker 1: The Eagles need to do something at the right guard position.
Speaker 1: I mean, they bring in Brett Tilt to play right tackle.
Speaker 1: He's been with the team for a week. So yeah,
Speaker 1: these are very desperate times from an injury standpoint, But
Speaker 1: this is the football team with no Marja Frero okay none.
Speaker 1: You can't miss field goals Jake Elliot, You've missed three
Speaker 1: fifty yard plus field goals. You can't turn the football
Speaker 1: over Carson Wentz in the red zone. The defense another
Speaker 1: poor performance in the red zone. So as much as
Speaker 1: we want to build on the comeback, and I agree,
Speaker 1: it is just like last week, something to build on.
Speaker 1: It's sure would be nice to see the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: play from ahead. And if they can do that against
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Cowboys get to three four and one,
Speaker 1: get to the bye week, you can really have a
Speaker 1: nice second half of the season. Here's something very competitive
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. But with all these injuries, it's
Speaker 1: really tough. And look at that last play, a busted
Speaker 1: play offensive line got caved in Carson in the process
Speaker 1: of kind of a readoption. I guess he was handing
Speaker 1: it off to Boston Scott. Not quite sure the play
Speaker 1: got blown up, but you know the Eagles offensive life,
Speaker 1: they can just get it and they were just getting
Speaker 1: it too adequate. And then another raft of injuries today
Speaker 1: day you brought up you brought up, Jake Elliott. Now
Speaker 1: we don't usually talk about kickers and punners unless they
Speaker 1: have a game winning kick or what have you, but
Speaker 1: you mentioned the three field goals that he's missed from
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards. He certainly has the leg to make
Speaker 1: those kicks from a distance. Point, what do you think
Speaker 1: is going on with him this year? That? I mean,
Speaker 1: he's missed some some makeable field goals. So he missed
Speaker 1: fifty three I think it was in was at Washington,
Speaker 1: he missed last week at Pittsburgh, what was the fifty seven,
Speaker 1: and then today fifty plus as well. I think all
Speaker 1: three were to the right, So he's clearly got something
Speaker 1: mechanical going on, certainly has the legike. You know, we've
Speaker 1: through the career of Jake Elliot that's been remarkably consistent.
Speaker 1: I think he's had a field goal make rate of
Speaker 1: like eighty three point seven percent something like that, and
Speaker 1: it was one of those guys who always made the
Speaker 1: long ones and sometimes struggled from the easy ones the
Speaker 1: thirty five yard field goal. So I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on with Jake, but I know that with this
Speaker 1: team with such a razor thin margin for error, your
Speaker 1: field goal kicker has to make them, and we saw
Speaker 1: what Baltimore did. Anytime they're inside the forty yard line,
Speaker 1: Tucker is automatic and so Jake's got to get back
Speaker 1: to that, Dave. I'd like to bring it back to
Speaker 1: the offensive playmakers. You know, what are the guys that
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about yet, you know, without Zach Ertz,
Speaker 1: without Miles Sanders and all the other players that we've
Speaker 1: talked about as being out of the lineup. You know,
Speaker 1: one guy I felt I gave them a spark in
Speaker 1: this game alongside Carson Wentz was Jalen Hurts. You know,
Speaker 1: especially in the middle parts of this game, second and
Speaker 1: third quarter. I'm into just get your thoughts on the
Speaker 1: performance of the rookie in this game. Yeah. Interesting. You know,
Speaker 1: at one point, fran I actually thought, why are the
Speaker 1: Eagles showing this play right now? You know, they're on
Speaker 1: the verge're getting blown out against the Baltimore Ravens, and
Speaker 1: they've got a throwback Jalen to Carson, you know, back
Speaker 1: to Jalen's So I'm like, what are you doing putting
Speaker 1: this on tape right now? But I understand it. You
Speaker 1: want to get the football in his hands. He certainly
Speaker 1: is dynamic, and I understand it. The way this run
Speaker 1: game is again a seventy four yard run from Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders some good yards on the ground from the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Really nothing from Boston Scott and Corey Clement. So however,
Speaker 1: you can put your talented players like Jalen Hurts on
Speaker 1: the field, get the ball in his hands, you gotta
Speaker 1: find a way to do it. So I look for
Speaker 1: more creativity from Doug in the offensive coaching staff with
Speaker 1: number two in the weeks to come here. Huge, huge
Speaker 1: game on Thursday, and I got to even credit. You
Speaker 1: called it on the radio pregame that the Eagles would
Speaker 1: win this game. You were roundly mocked and for most
Speaker 1: of the game, I'm sure you were thinking, I really
Speaker 1: blew this. But the Eagles certainly were right there at
Speaker 1: the end. And I will tell you that the atmosphere
Speaker 1: in the stands at Linko Financial Field, even though the
Speaker 1: numbers were down, I applaud the fans. They were great,
Speaker 1: and I think the players responded because of the fans.
Speaker 1: First two games at Linko Financial Field, Eagles in the
Speaker 1: second half had no life at all. Today they did
Speaker 1: save when you talk about that razor thin margin for
Speaker 1: error when you looked at this game today, Doug Peterson,
Speaker 1: very aggressive, went for two every single time, didn't get
Speaker 1: it the first time didn't get it the last time.
Speaker 1: Of course, then my mind starts thinking, okay, well, if
Speaker 1: they had just kicked the extra point the first time,
Speaker 1: you don't have to go for it the last time.
Speaker 1: Is that that margin for error that they need to
Speaker 1: be that aggressive every time or is it just being
Speaker 1: so careful in picking your spots and having it go right? Honestly,
Speaker 1: any I think that in Doug's going to get criticized
Speaker 1: for that, there's no question about it. But that's what
Speaker 1: he is and that's what he's been from day one.
Speaker 1: I mean, that is what Doug Peterson is. He he
Speaker 1: knows he's got an offense that is struggling to score points,
Speaker 1: so if he has a chance to go for the
Speaker 1: two point conversion, even if it doesn't make sense, he's
Speaker 1: going to do it. So it costs Eagles today, but
Speaker 1: they were still in position there at the end to
Speaker 1: tie the game, and just a blown play, blown offensive
Speaker 1: assignment upfront, whatever they were trying to do didn't work.
Speaker 1: But I certainly understand what people criticize Doug, but that's
Speaker 1: just who he is. He's not going to shy away
Speaker 1: from that. That's his personality and he owns it well.
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that most of the fans
Speaker 1: love about him as well. So that's what you take.
Speaker 1: You have to take all of it together when you
Speaker 1: embrace this kind of thing about a head coach, and
Speaker 1: I will take it every single day day. Thanks so
Speaker 1: much for your insight. All right, thanks guys. All right,
Speaker 1: I think we should go back to Jalen Hurts because
Speaker 1: when you talk about the spark that was provided, the
Speaker 1: Eagles did not have a single first down until he
Speaker 1: got one with his big twenty yard run that we
Speaker 1: are going to break down a little bit later, but
Speaker 1: let me go to you first with this, and then
Speaker 1: fran I'll have you chime in after. But let's talk
Speaker 1: about what we saw from Jalen Hurts, how the coaches
Speaker 1: used him, and just the spark that he provided to
Speaker 1: this offense. That was really when things started to get
Speaker 1: going for this Eagles team. Yeah. I loved it. I
Speaker 1: loved it. I'm asking for more Jalen Hurts just because
Speaker 1: this offense is so devoid of explosiveness and players that
Speaker 1: can sort of create on their own, and I think
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is a fantastic athlete still learning how to
Speaker 1: play quarterback in the NFL. But until then, use the
Speaker 1: assets that you have had. He has a great ability
Speaker 1: to run the ball. He has a solid football frame,
Speaker 1: so he's not a fragile guy that you have to
Speaker 1: worry about getting injured. He can get on the perimeter,
Speaker 1: he can make people miss. I love it, and he
Speaker 1: has the ability to throw the ball. So um I
Speaker 1: was looking for more. It's a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: Amy and fran I was calling for a ten play
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts package and it seemed like they went deep
Speaker 1: into that package today and then got away from it.
Speaker 1: U with the amount of injuries suffered at the skilled
Speaker 1: position so far. I mean, man, what's the point. He's
Speaker 1: a second round draft pick. He doesn't no good to
Speaker 1: staying over there holding the clipboard watching the game. Put
Speaker 1: him in there, and if he can get you some
Speaker 1: first downs or even a touchdown, why not? I love it?
Speaker 1: What do you think to me? I mean, coming into
Speaker 1: this game, he had played twelve snaps. In those twelve snaps,
Speaker 1: you got six first downs. You know, regardless of how
Speaker 1: they were, how they can whether it was Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: as a runner, as a thrower, or as a decoy.
Speaker 1: The Eagles had some success with him on the football field. Now,
Speaker 1: the other part of that too was two balls ended
Speaker 1: up on the ground in those twelve snaps. Again, coming
Speaker 1: into this game, I'm interested to look back and see
Speaker 1: all because there are a few plays where the broadcast
Speaker 1: didn't even talk about him, but he was out on
Speaker 1: the field. So I'm excited to go back and watch
Speaker 1: the film and get a sense of ultimately how he
Speaker 1: was used, but getting a chance to see him in
Speaker 1: an expanded role I think, look especially going into this
Speaker 1: week Thursday night. It is a short week, but all
Speaker 1: of these things are in the game plan already, so
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see if they are shorthanded at the
Speaker 1: skill position player spot going into Thursday night, if we
Speaker 1: see a little bit of an expanded role here for
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts Well certainly provided the spark today on offense.
Speaker 1: Let's get into some of the things that stood out
Speaker 1: to you today big picture. What is one of the
Speaker 1: big things you're thinking about after this game. We mentioned
Speaker 1: an earlier Amy fran about the slow start. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they could have gotten off to
Speaker 1: a worst start offensively the way this game started three
Speaker 1: and out, three and out, three and out, three and out,
Speaker 1: I mean sacks here, a forced fumbled air. It's just
Speaker 1: it's like they couldn't do anything for almost a quarter
Speaker 1: and a half and then you get down seventeen to
Speaker 1: nothing and then they finally get it together. I thought
Speaker 1: the defense, you know, put into some tough situations early
Speaker 1: in the game, and they were fighting to keep Baltimore
Speaker 1: out of the end zone. But the fact that they
Speaker 1: were on the field so much in the first half,
Speaker 1: it just didn't help them out. So the slow start
Speaker 1: to the game not something I was anticipating. It looked
Speaker 1: like the offense was really lifeless in that first half,
Speaker 1: and you didn't find you didn't have anybody make a play.
Speaker 1: I mean, Wentz couldn't couldn't connect on passes. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about missed opportunities. John high Tower, my goodness, man,
Speaker 1: he'll be thinking about that when all night long about
Speaker 1: that dropped deep ball that Carson was able to throw
Speaker 1: to him. Just a slow start in this game, and
Speaker 1: when you're going up against a team like Baltimore, Man,
Speaker 1: you can't afford to get all to a slow start.
Speaker 1: The Eagles in that until the Jalen Hurts run with
Speaker 1: about five minutes to go in the half. They had
Speaker 1: minus seven yards of offense up to that point, and
Speaker 1: I agree with you, John high Tower is going to
Speaker 1: be thinking about that one. But fran I think at
Speaker 1: this point, when you are playing rookie wide receivers, receivers
Speaker 1: with a ton of potential, a ton of talent, there's
Speaker 1: going to be moments like that, there's going to be
Speaker 1: rookie growing pains. And if anything, I am so excited
Speaker 1: to see what he did with that big touchdown to
Speaker 1: rebound from a moment like that and show that short
Speaker 1: term memory, no question, And he had the fifty yard
Speaker 1: or late as well, So being able to see him
Speaker 1: bounce back from that has been good. And he's done
Speaker 1: that throughout the year. I feel like every single every
Speaker 1: single week he has made some negative plays and then
Speaker 1: he's bounced back and made some good ones. And that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. Rookies are going to make bad plays.
Speaker 1: That's that's a factive life for the NFL. And I
Speaker 1: know that, you know, when we look around the league
Speaker 1: and you see, you know, young guys make plays, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we only see the good from rookies on other teams,
Speaker 1: But rookies are gonna make negative plays. It's about how
Speaker 1: they bounced back. So seeing high Tower kind of bounce
Speaker 1: back from that come, you know, after that tough drop,
Speaker 1: make the play. Humphrey tried to punch the ball out
Speaker 1: down the sideline on that one, and he was able
Speaker 1: to hold on to the football, which to me, again,
Speaker 1: good good thing there from John high Tower. Yes, thank
Speaker 1: you for correcting me not to touchdown the fifty yard catch.
Speaker 1: They're from John high Tower. You mentioned Marlon Humphrey, and
Speaker 1: I felt like for a lot of this game we
Speaker 1: just watched highlights of him trying to punch the ball out,
Speaker 1: and of course that being Baltimore specialty. I feel like
Speaker 1: overall there were some moments where the Eagles were bitten
Speaker 1: by this, but I think for the most part they
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job considering the amount of attempts,
Speaker 1: but still not enough in the end. And if you
Speaker 1: keep if you don't turn the ball over, of course,
Speaker 1: that could be the difference in this game. Let's continue
Speaker 1: with some of the things you want to discuss here.
Speaker 1: What else stood out to you? Missed opportunities, you know,
Speaker 1: missed opportunities on both sides of the ball. Mind you
Speaker 1: talked about the John Hightower dropped early in the game
Speaker 1: on that first series, but also Miles Sanders, you know,
Speaker 1: looked over the outside shoulder and Carson is placing the
Speaker 1: ball on the inside shoulder, and by the time he
Speaker 1: turned around with enough time, I just think he may
Speaker 1: have lost it a little bit in the sun. Not
Speaker 1: able to pull that when in that was a golden
Speaker 1: opportunity to score a touchdown there, fourth and inches, Carson
Speaker 1: not being able to quarterback schneak for a first down,
Speaker 1: missed opportunity there to score points on that drive. Jake
Speaker 1: Elliott missing a makeable field goal, missed opportunity there. And
Speaker 1: then on defense, you know, Lamar Jackson was struggling in
Speaker 1: that first half with his accuracy and a couple of
Speaker 1: balls got tipped up in the air. We didn't come
Speaker 1: down with the interception. I mean, people have been coming
Speaker 1: down with turnovers against us all year long. Man, it
Speaker 1: would have been nice to get one of those against
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens deep in their territory early in the game,
Speaker 1: and maybe that helps set up a scoring opportunity for
Speaker 1: your offense. And so just you know, those are the
Speaker 1: type of things that when the players get home tonight
Speaker 1: and the coaches get a chance to rewatch this game.
Speaker 1: The final score already is gonna be sickening because you
Speaker 1: realize you're only lost by two points. But when you
Speaker 1: think about the opportunities they had in that first half
Speaker 1: to really put points on the board and have the
Speaker 1: second half play out differently, those are the things that
Speaker 1: as a player that is tough to get over because
Speaker 1: you know those opportunities are hard to come by, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles had several of them in the first half
Speaker 1: where they could have even been leading this game at halftime. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're looking at the numbers and comparing both teams
Speaker 1: pretty close overall, except there's the big one that jumps out,
Speaker 1: the time of possession. The Ravens controlled the ball for
Speaker 1: thirty six minutes and thirty seconds compared to twenty minutes
Speaker 1: and thirty seconds toward the Eagles and fran When you're
Speaker 1: looking at this Ravens offense, they were able to control
Speaker 1: the clock, control the ball. Was it their run game
Speaker 1: that was able to do this so effectively? How were
Speaker 1: they able to really impose their will when it came
Speaker 1: to controlling the clock in this one? Yeah, two things
Speaker 1: it would be the run game. But I was going
Speaker 1: to actually follow up on Ike's point, and it goes
Speaker 1: to that question Amy, some of those missed opportunities in
Speaker 1: the first half. How about three third and ten conversions
Speaker 1: for the Ravens offense in this game that led to
Speaker 1: touchdowns that were on touchdown drive. So you're talking about
Speaker 1: third and ten, that's where you want to be as
Speaker 1: a defense. That should be drive end, right, but instead
Speaker 1: they're able to convert and now they're able to drive
Speaker 1: down and put points on the board. That's fourteen points
Speaker 1: right there between those two drives where you had three
Speaker 1: third and ten conversions. That the defense has to be
Speaker 1: able to get off the field in those situations you're
Speaker 1: either forcing a punt or at the worst, you're forcing
Speaker 1: a field goal. At the end of the day, different
Speaker 1: different ball game, different kind of outlook on this game.
Speaker 1: If they're able to get off the field in those spots,
Speaker 1: such a great point. And look the Ravens on third
Speaker 1: down they were six of sixteen, so thirty eight percent,
Speaker 1: which is not amazing, but Ike Fran mentioned it. They
Speaker 1: were third and ten and the third and ten, third
Speaker 1: and eleven, third and long, and those uh, those drives
Speaker 1: ended up being point scoring touchdown drives for the Ravens.
Speaker 1: How demoralizing is it on defense when you know you
Speaker 1: have them right where you want them like that, and
Speaker 1: then they're able to get the first down and you're
Speaker 1: on the field. You think you're about to come off
Speaker 1: the field and you're standing on the field. Yeah, it's frustrating.
Speaker 1: Is demoralizing and frustrating amy, especially for Jim Schwartz, because
Speaker 1: you want to get a guy like Lamar Jackson in
Speaker 1: third and ten where it's an obvious passing situation and
Speaker 1: you can have your eyes on him, but you need
Speaker 1: to have your eyes on your luggage as well. You're
Speaker 1: covered whoever you're covering in in that first draw, I
Speaker 1: mean that first quarter. You know, those those third and
Speaker 1: ten conversions to boy you, I mean boykins in and
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews then lead to a touchdown. Those those are
Speaker 1: the ones that when you come to the sideline you're upset.
Speaker 1: I mean you're you're you're literally upset because you when
Speaker 1: you get a team like Baltimore who loves to run
Speaker 1: the ball and stay ahead of the chains, meaning they
Speaker 1: want to be second and second and five, third and four,
Speaker 1: that's what they want to be at, so they can
Speaker 1: really have the option to run or throw the ball.
Speaker 1: When you put them in third and long, that's supposed
Speaker 1: to be advantage you. And for the Eagles to not
Speaker 1: be able to get off the field on third and long,
Speaker 1: that's that's frustrating for a coordinator because you have the
Speaker 1: offense right where you want them at. Now you just
Speaker 1: have to go out there and execute. And in the
Speaker 1: first half the Eagles weren't able to do that. You
Speaker 1: noticed she said six for sixteen, so three of those
Speaker 1: came early in the game. So they certainly made the
Speaker 1: adjustments and did a better job as the game went on.
Speaker 1: But in that first and second quarter, just far too
Speaker 1: many times the Ravens were able to extend drives by
Speaker 1: picking up third and long. When you look at again
Speaker 1: looking at some of the numbers here comparing these two offenses,
Speaker 1: the Eagles out gained the Ravens three hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: four yards to their three hundred and fifty five. And
Speaker 1: then when it comes to the fourth down, red zone,
Speaker 1: and goal to go, the Eagles did better than did
Speaker 1: better than the Ravens in all of those categories as well.
Speaker 1: I think we're getting close to hearing from head coach
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. So everybody stay alert for that one. But oh,
Speaker 1: we have a few more minutes then, all right. So
Speaker 1: the Eagles three of three in the red zone, the
Speaker 1: Ravens sixty seven percent, and the red zone Eagles two
Speaker 1: for two on goal to go as well. So in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, like we talked about the comparison,
Speaker 1: they're close in a lot of ways, not in time
Speaker 1: of possession and those missed opportunities. Let's continue with some
Speaker 1: of the things that you that stood out to you
Speaker 1: from this one. Yeah. Well, one of my final thoughts
Speaker 1: on the game, frand touchdown is earlier, and I completely
Speaker 1: agree with him. The fight in this team. They kept
Speaker 1: fighting and that was good to see me. I was
Speaker 1: ready to get Carson out of the game with seven
Speaker 1: minutes left to go in the game, uh, because you
Speaker 1: had so many guys going down, and I'm concerned about
Speaker 1: Thursday Night and making sure, you know, you don't get
Speaker 1: anybody else lost in this game so that you have
Speaker 1: a complete team Thursday night. But to Doug's credit, he
Speaker 1: kept him out there. And Carson is a fighter and
Speaker 1: this team kept fighting because he kept fighting, and that
Speaker 1: that that's a that's a great sign is and to
Speaker 1: know that it's been a tough season and you go
Speaker 1: down thirty to fourteen and in the middle of the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you could very because we're ready to hear
Speaker 1: from the head coach. Hey, coach, thanks for taking the
Speaker 1: time today. We'll get started with bow Wolf and then
Speaker 1: Dave Zangarrow he does can you explain the play call
Speaker 1: on the two point conversion? And did they get any time?
Speaker 1: It looked like they broke the huddle sort of close
Speaker 1: to the end of the play cluck. Um, Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: getting a great opportunity right there to to you know,
Speaker 1: score tie the football game. Um, you know I can
Speaker 1: do I can do better. Um, as far as getting
Speaker 1: the play in and you know, given given our guys
Speaker 1: a better opportunity, um, play call wise too in that
Speaker 1: in that situation, but you know, credit them made the
Speaker 1: stop and uh just a little bit short. Even then,
Speaker 1: Kristen it dug on that play. What why go with
Speaker 1: that play call? And then as far as the execution,
Speaker 1: what happened there? My decision to go with the play call,
Speaker 1: so that's on me. How about the execution of the play? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I said, I can I can put our team
Speaker 1: in a better situation, Kristen, And then Jeff McLean, Hey, Doug,
Speaker 1: what can you say about the job that Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: was able to do really in that second half, considering
Speaker 1: all those injuries that you guys sustained on offense, Carson
Speaker 1: played a heck of a football game. Um, he played tough,
Speaker 1: played smart, you know, resilient, resilient guy, resilient group, rallied,
Speaker 1: rallied his troops, made some tough throws against a really
Speaker 1: really good defense. Um, you know, proud of him for
Speaker 1: hanging in there, and and uh, you know I missed
Speaker 1: all the again some of the injuries we had, um,
Speaker 1: you know, losing Driscoll there late in the game, and
Speaker 1: then you know Miles came out for a little while.
Speaker 1: So I thought Carson played really tough today, played it,
Speaker 1: played a good football game. Jeff McLean And then John McMullin,
Speaker 1: dou what were the analytics behind going for the two
Speaker 1: point diversion by seventeen to six? UM at that time,
Speaker 1: it just gives you the best probability to uh, to
Speaker 1: win the game. You know, in that situation you go
Speaker 1: for two and then you're down, you know, a touchdown
Speaker 1: in a field goal win the game. You know, obviously
Speaker 1: if things stay you know, status quo. But um just
Speaker 1: gave us the best probability at that point to win.
Speaker 1: John McMullin and then Chris Franklin or Chris if you're
Speaker 1: already go ahead, Doug, Look you got when most of
Speaker 1: the decision behind using jail and hurts more in a
Speaker 1: second quarter in the game today. Um, well, he's part
Speaker 1: of the game plan every week. Um. I just felt
Speaker 1: it was it was the right time to get him
Speaker 1: in the game. You know, at the time, we had
Speaker 1: been struggling a little bit offensively, especially running the football, um,
Speaker 1: and you know, gave us an opportunity to do that
Speaker 1: with him, and it just kind of kind of calmed
Speaker 1: the defense down a little bit too. You know, there
Speaker 1: wasn't as much pressure when he was in the game.
Speaker 1: A quarterback just um just had to had to find
Speaker 1: a spark and uh, you know, got him, got him
Speaker 1: in the football game. Nick Fierro and then Tim McManus.
Speaker 1: All right, dog, I wanted to ask about the offensive
Speaker 1: line and uh, have you ever been a part of
Speaker 1: anything like this before? Just overall with the with the
Speaker 1: line and with so many injuries and who's who's next
Speaker 1: on the list. If you know Toath is you were
Speaker 1: down to Toath today, do you have a plan behind him?
Speaker 1: If he's even that thought that far? Well, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: Toath battled his tail off, Drisco battled his tail off,
Speaker 1: and and you know, we gotta we gotta evaluate um quickly,
Speaker 1: are obviously the injury situation and see see what we're
Speaker 1: at this week on a short week. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's just something that uh that you know again, you
Speaker 1: know we are getting you know, kind of thin at
Speaker 1: at the position. And you know, I'm hopeful that a
Speaker 1: couple of these offensive line guys that have been hurt
Speaker 1: that we can maybe get him back this week. But
Speaker 1: we got to wait and see until you know, see
Speaker 1: tomorrow and Tuesday and put the pieces together him and
Speaker 1: then Rob Moddy Doug. Given the amount of success the
Speaker 1: offense was having with Jalen Hurts in there, Um, why
Speaker 1: not use him more in this game? I don't think
Speaker 1: he got one more one more snap after that long
Speaker 1: Sanders run. Um Yeah again, you know, I guess I
Speaker 1: could have put him in there one or two more times,
Speaker 1: but you know, he gave us a spark at times
Speaker 1: and it was good to see and would just continue to,
Speaker 1: you know, keep him, keep him involved, Robin and Martin Frank,
Speaker 1: don't you guys finished the game with two healthy starters
Speaker 1: on offense and Carson and Jason Kelsey. Given that and
Speaker 1: it took a two point conversion at the end for
Speaker 1: Baltimore to win this game, can you draw on some
Speaker 1: positive things and take some encouragement out of this, even
Speaker 1: though you never want to lose a football game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I would even say that Kelsey and Carson were
Speaker 1: banged up. To me, it's a physical football game against
Speaker 1: a really good opponent. And you know, my message to
Speaker 1: the football team is basically, um, you know, there's all
Speaker 1: the there's all the you know, should have would have
Speaker 1: could us out there, um players that we missed in
Speaker 1: the first half, turnovers, whatever it might be. But this group,
Speaker 1: every healthy body that we had played in this football game.
Speaker 1: And and I'm gonna tell you it's it's tough to
Speaker 1: win in the National Football League, Okay, And you guys
Speaker 1: know exactly where we're at healthwise, and these guys battled
Speaker 1: their tails off today and still had a chance to
Speaker 1: tie this football It really had a chance to win
Speaker 1: this football game against a healthy, healthy football team. And
Speaker 1: so as the head coach, I can stand here and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm proud of those guys in the locker room,
Speaker 1: and I know they're gonna get beat down this week,
Speaker 1: and that's I mean, that's your job. But my job
Speaker 1: is to encourage them and say, hey, you know, and
Speaker 1: I get it. There are no moral victories in the NFL.
Speaker 1: There's no moral victories at all, um, and we're all
Speaker 1: graded on wins and losses. But for this team to
Speaker 1: hang together on the sideline, uh, to not point fingers,
Speaker 1: to battle to be in this position with all the
Speaker 1: mistakes that were made in the in the first half,
Speaker 1: really offensively, and then we missed the kick, you know,
Speaker 1: the field goal at the end of the half. I mean,
Speaker 1: those are the difference difference in games, and those are
Speaker 1: things that we're going to learn from and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get better from. And uh, you know, so I'm proud
Speaker 1: of the guys for the way they battled today, Martin
Speaker 1: and then less Doug, did you kind of, um like
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more if you kind of about
Speaker 1: like the way Carson kind of stepped up his game,
Speaker 1: you know, and towards the end, especially you know with
Speaker 1: him going to Travis Folgham and everything. I mean, Carson's
Speaker 1: the type of guy that's gonna put the team on
Speaker 1: his back, and especially when we're faced with adversity. You know,
Speaker 1: he wants the ball in his hands at all the time.
Speaker 1: And you know those two guys second half really Um
Speaker 1: really stepped up and made some plays. But I think
Speaker 1: of you know, High Tower came back and made some plays,
Speaker 1: and rich Rod made some plays. We had a nice
Speaker 1: run by Miles. I mean, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that you know had had contributions in this football game. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Kelsey, I mean Carson, you know, playing playing
Speaker 1: as tough as he did, UM really kind of kept
Speaker 1: us in this game less and then Zach certainly it
Speaker 1: was an amazing fourth quarter. But before that, what do
Speaker 1: you think was up with your offense just not being
Speaker 1: able to get even a first down? Way? Was it
Speaker 1: just the guys that were missing or was the right
Speaker 1: were the Ravens doing something quite different from what you expected? Um? Uh,
Speaker 1: let me take a deep breath on that one. Um.
Speaker 1: Did you see the game? I mean we dropped, we dropped,
Speaker 1: We dropped a big third down. You know, uh, turnover,
Speaker 1: we dropped a touchdown, we missed a feeling. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's self inflicted wounds. There's things that I've been talking
Speaker 1: to our team all week about, right, and and when
Speaker 1: you were, when you're playing good football teams like the
Speaker 1: Ravens are, you can't make those mistakes. You can't do it.
Speaker 1: And with the amount of injuries that that we do have,
Speaker 1: and and look, I'm gonna stand here and tell you
Speaker 1: that we're not gonna make excuses. The guys in the
Speaker 1: locker room aren't going to make excuses. Um. And so
Speaker 1: you know that's that's what happened. I mean, there's there's
Speaker 1: enough things in this game too to point at from
Speaker 1: decisions I made too, you know, execution on the field again, um,
Speaker 1: and we didn't get the job done. We have time
Speaker 1: for two Morris will go, Zach Berman and then Ed Krafts. Hey, Doug,
Speaker 1: you've been talking to us about the way this team
Speaker 1: had had come back and thought flip side of that.
Speaker 1: As your one four and one, how do you view
Speaker 1: the record in the context of everything going on that's
Speaker 1: right where we should be one four and one last
Speaker 1: question here with Ed, Hey, Doug, Miles Sanders, you know,
Speaker 1: a second straight game with a seventy four yard run,
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen yards just uh, you know, talk
Speaker 1: about his play these last two weeks and how I
Speaker 1: don't know what the injury is, but how big of
Speaker 1: a loss would that be if he can't play Thursday night? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Miles is the last couple has really really, um done
Speaker 1: an outstanding job. You know. He's he's he's been in
Speaker 1: on a lot of our a lot of our you know,
Speaker 1: first second and third down uh plays obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: big run last week in Pittsburgh, another big run tonight
Speaker 1: against another good good defense, you know, and and he's
Speaker 1: just he's he's a spark that you need. He's you know,
Speaker 1: he's got great energy, great enthusiasm. Um. Obviously, Well we'll
Speaker 1: check out his injury, you know, tonight tomorrow and see
Speaker 1: where he's at and if he's available for Thursday. Thanks coach. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the head coach's thoughts on today's game, and of
Speaker 1: course some of the high points from from his speech there. Um, Look,
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Carson were banged up as well in this one.
Speaker 1: They were not the only healthy players. Um, he said,
Speaker 1: every single healthy body we had played today and it
Speaker 1: was a very physical game. Um, what he is especially
Speaker 1: proud of is the way that these guys hung together,
Speaker 1: the way that they continue to be in couraging, continue
Speaker 1: to fight, continue to stay locked in on the sidelines,
Speaker 1: and that they battled their tails off against a healthy,
Speaker 1: healthy Ravens team. And I think that's a very key
Speaker 1: point there, that adversity has continued to hit this Eagles
Speaker 1: team and these guys continue to stay together, continue to
Speaker 1: have that positivity, and a lot of times, look look
Speaker 1: around the NFL, adversity is hitting a lot of teams
Speaker 1: and guys are not locked in. They're not playing hard
Speaker 1: for their coach, they're not playing hard for each other.
Speaker 1: That is not what goes on in this locker room.
Speaker 1: And head coach Doug Peterson, of course sets the tone
Speaker 1: for that, and that is what we saw today. All Right,
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring Fran back in here, and I
Speaker 1: thought coach said something really interesting about the use of
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts today. Fran that he calmed the defense down,
Speaker 1: the Ravens defense down. They weren't as aggressive, there wasn't
Speaker 1: so much pressure with him in the game. What do
Speaker 1: you think about just what the threat that he poses
Speaker 1: to an opposing defense, and how they have to account
Speaker 1: for what he might do. Yeah, I think anytime you
Speaker 1: have a weapon like that, a guy that can be
Speaker 1: used in a lot of different ways, and it just
Speaker 1: gets the defense thinking right because now it's not that
Speaker 1: they could just go right into attack mode and hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get after the quarterback, Carson Wentz. Now you're
Speaker 1: worried about all right, Jalen Hurts is in the game,
Speaker 1: down in distance, what's the what's the personnel grouping they
Speaker 1: what do they typically do from this? Look? What have
Speaker 1: they shown on film already? So now you're you're already
Speaker 1: thinking before the staff. If you're a linebacker, a safety,
Speaker 1: a corner, even a defensive end, you're worried about what
Speaker 1: could be happening if Jalen Hurts is on the field.
Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, I talked about it earlier.
Speaker 1: He had played twelve snaps coming into this game. The
Speaker 1: Eagles had had six first downs on twelve of those plays,
Speaker 1: and I think that that shows to the effectiveness that
Speaker 1: a guy like that can have as a part of
Speaker 1: the offense. Well, and when you talk about the creativity,
Speaker 1: the uniqueness of this offense that every single week has
Speaker 1: a new wringle, whether that's a new player coming in. Um.
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about who we saw catch
Speaker 1: a touchdown today. Jason Krum, a tight end who was
Speaker 1: elevated from the practice squad just before this game, also
Speaker 1: catching a touchdown. This offense continues to make it work,
Speaker 1: and I think they deserve a lot of credit. Head
Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson Carson Wentz a lot of credit for
Speaker 1: the fact that, look, we've seen guys who most people
Speaker 1: didn't even know who they were even a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: have a big impact in this offense. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think that's it's the next man out mentality that this
Speaker 1: team is consistently preached, and so you know, you get
Speaker 1: a guy like Jason Crum, who was picked up mid
Speaker 1: season and a college wide receiver at Tennessee making the
Speaker 1: move over to tight end, still kind of finding his way,
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is able to kind of buy time. Look
Speaker 1: you see him here, just kind of avoid the rush
Speaker 1: and find Crewe in the corner of the end zone.
Speaker 1: It was a little bit of a busted coverage from
Speaker 1: Baltimore on that play, and he was able to take advantage.
Speaker 1: But that speaks to that second reactionability that Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: has well. And then you have Travis Fulgum, who had
Speaker 1: another touchdown today. Three games, three touchdowns. Friend, I am
Speaker 1: going to credit you with this information because this is
Speaker 1: where I heard it from. The last time that happened
Speaker 1: was in two thousand and four with Terrell Owens here
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, of course, So lots of positive things
Speaker 1: ahead for Travis Fulgam in this offense. Yeah, no question.
Speaker 1: I think when you look at Folgum and what he's done,
Speaker 1: we talked about him on the Kickoff Show coming into
Speaker 1: this game. What he was able to do last week
Speaker 1: was certainly a good sign, right, but then they were
Speaker 1: able to scheme some things up for him. Today he
Speaker 1: showed his ability to go up and win. He came
Speaker 1: up with some clutch third down receptions for Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: especially in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: So I think when you look at Folgum, a really
Speaker 1: good sign of things to come. Well, let's talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about the other side of the ball. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the Eagles defense. And look, we saw a
Speaker 1: lot of big place from the defensive line, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure we'll get into that, but I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the secondary because this is a unit that had
Speaker 1: some injuries. Of course, they were without Avonte Maddox coming
Speaker 1: into today's game, and we were expecting to see Cavan
Speaker 1: Wallace have some more time. He goes out early with
Speaker 1: an injury, ruled out very quickly there as well. They
Speaker 1: were also without safety Marcus Epps today coming into this one,
Speaker 1: Cavan Wallace goes out with an injury, Jalen Mills goes
Speaker 1: to the locker room, comes back. So a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure on this secondary, a unit that continues to evolve,
Speaker 1: continues to get banged up. What did you think about
Speaker 1: how they performed today against a very complete, as Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson mentioned, very healthy Ravens team. Well, it's always tough
Speaker 1: to be able to tell from secondary play based off
Speaker 1: just off the TV, but I will say this, with
Speaker 1: all those players, with Lamar Jackson kind of running around
Speaker 1: and the defensive line able to get home, you got
Speaker 1: to give some credit to the coverage. And I'm excited
Speaker 1: to go back and watch the film tomorrow morning to
Speaker 1: see exactly how the secondary held up. We saw Jalen
Speaker 1: Mills make the move back to safety today. As you
Speaker 1: alluded to, Nickel Roby Coleman got the start on the
Speaker 1: outside opposite Darius Slay. Cravon LeBlanc was in the nickel,
Speaker 1: so they were able to kind of move things around
Speaker 1: in the secondary. You know, to me that I thought
Speaker 1: that was really interesting going into this game. Obviously they
Speaker 1: felt comfortable with Nickel at the outside corner spot, moving
Speaker 1: Jalen back that gave them the best chance to win
Speaker 1: in this game against a run oriented Baltimore offense. Well,
Speaker 1: I know it will be something you will continue to
Speaker 1: break down once you get that A good look at
Speaker 1: that all twenty two. As we continue to wait for
Speaker 1: Eagles players to take the podium today in their press conferences,
Speaker 1: let's keep breaking down the defense because I just took
Speaker 1: a look at the tackle stats for today, and of
Speaker 1: course we know the linebacker group is a group that
Speaker 1: of course has come under public scrutiny, but also has
Speaker 1: dealt with a ton of injuries. Duke Riley was out
Speaker 1: today as well, so just continuing to see some injuries there.
Speaker 1: Alex Singleton led the team in tackles for today, so
Speaker 1: we can continue to break that down, and yeah, let's
Speaker 1: keep doing that. So Fran what did you see from
Speaker 1: the second level? To me, anytime your linebackers are leading
Speaker 1: your team and tackles, that's that's a pretty good thing.
Speaker 1: It's better than your safety's leading your team and tackles
Speaker 1: because it shows that those runs are not getting up
Speaker 1: to the third level of the defense. But look, I'm
Speaker 1: one thing I'm really interested to see is the young
Speaker 1: linebackers Davion Taylor and Sean Bradley who got their first
Speaker 1: action today. All right, and I believe we are about
Speaker 1: to hear from Carson Wentz and just a little bit
Speaker 1: of time here, so one more time after an incredible
Speaker 1: performance from him keeping his team in it once twenty
Speaker 1: one of forty passes completed today for two hundred and
Speaker 1: thirteen yards, sacked six times, had his team in it
Speaker 1: at the end. And of course let's not forget that
Speaker 1: massive run forty nine yards rushing, including a forty yard
Speaker 1: run to keep keep his team in it. And uh yeah, um,
Speaker 1: all right, well, I guess we're still waiting for Carson,
Speaker 1: so um any thoughts on on Carson, I mean, just
Speaker 1: to fight resiliency we saw I thought that was just
Speaker 1: huge obviously in this game. All right, And here's the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Hey Carson, thanks for taking the time. We'll get started
Speaker 1: here with Jamie Pody and then Mike Selski. Carson, I
Speaker 1: know there's no moral victories, but towards the end of
Speaker 1: the game, you and Jason Kelsey were the only healthy
Speaker 1: players on the field from the offense, and you could
Speaker 1: argue you guys aren't even that healthy, and yet you
Speaker 1: guys still manage to have a chance to tie the game.
Speaker 1: What does that say about the team's toughness and how
Speaker 1: proud are you of the way the game ended? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean really last week this week, Um, obviously the
Speaker 1: ending is not what we wanted, but to see the
Speaker 1: way guys have fought and being down in both games
Speaker 1: and rallied back and the resiliency of this team is
Speaker 1: something that I don't think you can question u and
Speaker 1: the toughness of these guys. And I mean, you got
Speaker 1: injuries all over the place, and you got guys stepping
Speaker 1: up that maybe just got here this week or you know,
Speaker 1: all over the board, and that's never an excuse. But
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of good we can learn from
Speaker 1: and the fight and the effort is something I'm so
Speaker 1: proud of these guys to give us a chance to
Speaker 1: tie it up at the end of the game. Obviously
Speaker 1: we came up short. We're frustrated with that, but you know,
Speaker 1: I'm proud of these guys. We can keep building with this.
Speaker 1: We got a quick week to turn it around and
Speaker 1: start going in the right direction. We'll go Mike, and
Speaker 1: then Chris Murray, Hey, Carson, what was it about Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts his presence, they got the offense going. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you know, Jalen's he's a playmaker, and you bring
Speaker 1: him in off the bench, and defenses have to be
Speaker 1: ready for where he's at, where I'm at, all of
Speaker 1: the above, and um, I think it puts a little
Speaker 1: stress and a little pressure on the defense. You know,
Speaker 1: get there's some exciting plays potentially there to be had,
Speaker 1: and UM, it's something that we're gonna keep rep and
Speaker 1: keep working on and um hopefully finding ways to to
Speaker 1: you know, supplement our offense and find a way to
Speaker 1: get some big plays that way. And then John McMullin, Yeah,
Speaker 1: come back today, but ways to wait to play rap
Speaker 1: one half been terrible, a little more consistent. I hear
Speaker 1: parts of that question, but I believe it was in
Speaker 1: terms of consistency offensively. Um, And obviously that's something that
Speaker 1: I'm I'm look going to look hard at, and I
Speaker 1: think we're all gonna look hard at because it's something
Speaker 1: that's frustrating to be down, Um the way we were
Speaker 1: at halftime, to put that performance out there the first half. Um,
Speaker 1: we gotta be better playing and simple, we gotta be better.
Speaker 1: We gotta execute better. You know, Ravens are a good defense.
Speaker 1: They have a great defense. They make life really hard
Speaker 1: and challenging, and so we got to give them some credit.
Speaker 1: But we can definitely execute better early in games, and
Speaker 1: I'm confident that we'll get it figured out. John McMullan
Speaker 1: and then Paul Damoich, Hey, Carson, can you kind of
Speaker 1: take us through that final two point conversion attempt to
Speaker 1: look like maybe you guys got out of the huddle
Speaker 1: a little bit late. Is that the case or it's
Speaker 1: just a matter of Ravens making a good play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we probably did get a little later out
Speaker 1: of huddle than we wanted. You know, I think it's
Speaker 1: a twenty second play clock or something. Seems like it
Speaker 1: goes pretty quick on the two point plays, and so
Speaker 1: we got to be more urgent to get to the
Speaker 1: line and get our calls and get our checks. And
Speaker 1: you know, we had a scouted look there that we
Speaker 1: felt confident in that play, and they made a good
Speaker 1: play made it made life tough on us, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's frustrating come up short like that, but you know,
Speaker 1: hats off to them, Almo and then Bo Yeah, Carson,
Speaker 1: you took a pretty good beating today. I can't recall
Speaker 1: in four years you're taking the lickshit today. How did
Speaker 1: you feel in the fourth I mean, in that fourth
Speaker 1: quarter when you guys were coming back, did it? I
Speaker 1: mean just pain become irrelevant at that point. I mean
Speaker 1: pain and soreness. You know, all bumps and bruises, that's
Speaker 1: part of football. Every guy out there is feeling something
Speaker 1: along those lines. And within a game you don't notice
Speaker 1: those things. Obviously you wake up next morning, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be a little sore. That's part of football, that's part
Speaker 1: of life. But um, yeah, I mean I'll be fine.
Speaker 1: I came out just fine. And um obviously for me
Speaker 1: and for a lot of these guys, we got a
Speaker 1: quick turnaround. We got Thursday night football game, which is
Speaker 1: even harder on your body. So we gotta, you know,
Speaker 1: do the right things and take care of our bodies
Speaker 1: so that we're ready to go full speed. On Thursday night,
Speaker 1: Bow and Ed bencon Parson, it seemed like the connection
Speaker 1: with Travis Fulgam continued, Um, are you sort of learning
Speaker 1: that that he's a guy who you can throw it
Speaker 1: to even if he looks like he's covered. Absolutely, I
Speaker 1: mean he's he's a baller. I said it last week.
Speaker 1: I see it in practice. Um, and uh, you know
Speaker 1: it's good AD see guys get their chance and make plays.
Speaker 1: And he's a guy that, like you just said, I mean,
Speaker 1: it was zero blitz a handful of time today and
Speaker 1: I looked to him. You know, I just gave him
Speaker 1: a chance. I knew. I know, I threw the one
Speaker 1: out of the back of the end zone, didn't give
Speaker 1: him the chance, but made sure I gave him that
Speaker 1: opportunity on the other one. And uh, he keeps showing up,
Speaker 1: keeps making plays, and he's gonna keep getting better too.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna keep building our chemistry and our connection.
Speaker 1: But um, I have all the confidence in the world
Speaker 1: in him, and he's gonna keep being a big part
Speaker 1: of this offense. Ed and Tim McManus. Carson four catches
Speaker 1: for ZAC today. He was limping around at the end.
Speaker 1: I know he still wants more productions. Did you feel
Speaker 1: like you two were a little bit more on the
Speaker 1: same page today and took a step forward um off
Speaker 1: to watch the tape. I mean, I think there's still
Speaker 1: plays that I leave out there that you know, I
Speaker 1: think collectively him and I can be better at and
Speaker 1: but honestly, there's there's a lot of plays going on
Speaker 1: in my head right now, so I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of our connection. But that's something that I've never worried about.
Speaker 1: I mean, he made some good plays. I know I
Speaker 1: missed him on a couple of them. But he's a
Speaker 1: big part of our offense. Hopefully he eats healthy and
Speaker 1: can get back out there Thursday, him and the Martin.
Speaker 1: Of course, so this isn't the first time that we've
Speaker 1: seen you, you know, come up big late in games
Speaker 1: and rally a team back and including ones that are
Speaker 1: you know, decimated by injury. What is it about those
Speaker 1: moments that brings out the best in you? And is
Speaker 1: that something you that you can harness, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: and apply to you know, earlier in games kind of
Speaker 1: moving forward. Um, that's a good question. Um, And it's honestly,
Speaker 1: I think you just feel the kind of backs against
Speaker 1: the wall of time to make some plays mentality, and UM,
Speaker 1: kind of just cut it loose and play and you know,
Speaker 1: you're giving guys chances down the field. You're you're giving
Speaker 1: guys the opportunity to make plays. And UM, I will
Speaker 1: also say, I mean the Ravens did did a lot
Speaker 1: of things late in that game that they just said
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring the house, you know, and they kept
Speaker 1: blitzing and blitzing, and so that gave me the chance
Speaker 1: to kind of just retreat and get my my playmakers'
Speaker 1: ability to make plays. And guys stepped up, did it,
Speaker 1: did a great job. And UM, hard to fully say.
Speaker 1: It's just when you have that backs against the wall mentality,
Speaker 1: it's just, hey, you're just cutting loose and you'res playing
Speaker 1: Martin and then Dave Carson on the third play of
Speaker 1: the game, you went deep to high Tower and you
Speaker 1: couldn't you know, he couldn't hold, he couldn't come up
Speaker 1: with that. I guess, um A, how deflating was that?
Speaker 1: And then you went back to him later and you
Speaker 1: know the fact that he made that catch, how much
Speaker 1: do you think that helped his confidence? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I have all the confidence in the world and him
Speaker 1: and really all these guys. You know, stakes are gonna happen.
Speaker 1: You know, I've said that since I got here. Guys
Speaker 1: are gonna drop passes, I'm gonna fumble, I'm gonna turn
Speaker 1: it over, Guys are gonna miss blocks. That's always gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And it's just how do we respond, how do we
Speaker 1: bounce back? How are we resilient? And John's John's the
Speaker 1: same way. You know, obviously he wants that one back.
Speaker 1: Wasn't the start to the drive to the game we
Speaker 1: were hoping for her. I mean, shouldn't be in third
Speaker 1: and twenty two in the first place the first drive, Like,
Speaker 1: we gotta be better, We got to start faster, Um,
Speaker 1: be more efficient there. But you know that one happens.
Speaker 1: It happens. He dropped it. But um, we're gonna keep
Speaker 1: going back to him, and he's gonna keep being a
Speaker 1: big part of what we do. We have time for
Speaker 1: two more, so we'll go David and Zach Arsenal. Injuries
Speaker 1: are nothing new for this team over the last few years,
Speaker 1: but this year, it seems like, at least offensively is
Speaker 1: kind of taken to a new level. What's your reaction
Speaker 1: and your teammate's reaction when you're in the huddle and
Speaker 1: guys are just constantly being cycled through. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's football. I mean some of these things you
Speaker 1: you can't make up and you're just you know, you're
Speaker 1: putting guys in there that, like I said, might might
Speaker 1: be here for a week, And that's football. It's it's
Speaker 1: way a life, and you can't control all these injuries. It's,
Speaker 1: honestly is my least favorite part of the game is
Speaker 1: injuries and seeing guys go down, whether it's serious or minor. Um,
Speaker 1: I hate seeing it. But um, you don't have time
Speaker 1: to worry about that. In the game. It's all right,
Speaker 1: who's next, who's up next, who's gonna fill in? And
Speaker 1: and how can we get them up to speed with
Speaker 1: whatever it is we're doing. Obviously there's a lot of
Speaker 1: in game adjustments, a lot of things that need to
Speaker 1: be communicated. But that's one thing I'm proud of every
Speaker 1: guy for being ready to step up and doing their
Speaker 1: job when called upon. Last question here with Zach Carson,
Speaker 1: you've been four and six, you've been five and seven,
Speaker 1: but one four and one, it's new for you. How
Speaker 1: do you view this record in this season so far? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously not where we want to be. We've
Speaker 1: dug ourselves a little bit of a hole here. But
Speaker 1: for what I'm excited. I'm excited to build off of
Speaker 1: the way we finished this game and the resiliency that
Speaker 1: we've shown really the last two weeks. And I'm excited
Speaker 1: that we get to go back out on Thursday night.
Speaker 1: I mean, we get a quick turnaround, we get to
Speaker 1: put this one behind us quickly, and finally, you know,
Speaker 1: get in here in our division and hopefully do some
Speaker 1: do some good things and get this thing turned around.
Speaker 1: Thanks Carson, Thank you guys. All Right, you'd love to
Speaker 1: hear that from Carson Wentz. He's excited to get back
Speaker 1: out there on Thursday night because he feels like they
Speaker 1: have done so many good things in the last two
Speaker 1: games that there is plenty to build on, and he
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's tasting whenever this team gets its next win.
Speaker 1: All right, Brandon Graham is taking the podium. Now, let's
Speaker 1: listen in maybe, Gee, thanks for taking the time we'll
Speaker 1: get started with Jeff McLean and then less bowing. Yeah, Brandon, Um,
Speaker 1: I guess that another game without any turnovers. I know
Speaker 1: that they're sometimes fluky when you get them, but how
Speaker 1: much does that hurt the defense when you can't you
Speaker 1: can't get those, um, you know, it just makes it
Speaker 1: just makes our fight a lot harder, you know, of
Speaker 1: we can't flip the field. Um. And you know, playing
Speaker 1: against the team like the Ravens, you know they they
Speaker 1: high right now, they got a great quarterback, great team.
Speaker 1: We just gotta you know, we gotta change. We gotta
Speaker 1: change the momentum. And the turnovers definitely helped that we
Speaker 1: go less and then Chris Murray maybe. Gee, how frustrating
Speaker 1: was it for the first half and really most of
Speaker 1: the third quarter to just be sent out there again
Speaker 1: and again and again often in bad field position? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, with with nothing on the scoreboard and no
Speaker 1: hope of anything good happening. Well, you know, we don't
Speaker 1: beat ourselves up about it, because if you do, it's, um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it gets worse. We went out there
Speaker 1: with a mindset, you know, we just they just don't
Speaker 1: get in, you know, and we hold them to three.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is that happened in that game, we try
Speaker 1: to you know, talk positive in those moments because it
Speaker 1: could definitely get out of hand if if we let it,
Speaker 1: if we had the wrong mindset. But um, you know
Speaker 1: it was you know, we don't like, you know, the
Speaker 1: the situation we was in, but we definitely can change it.
Speaker 1: And that's all we was trying to do when we
Speaker 1: go out there. Chris, My question to you is why
Speaker 1: is that this team plays rate one half bad another
Speaker 1: half and see you seem we got you seem to
Speaker 1: not be able to put it all together on a
Speaker 1: consistent basis. Um. You know, hey, these games, uh, they
Speaker 1: they all different, you know, they all you know, um,
Speaker 1: injuries from you know, the people that you gotta work
Speaker 1: in to all kinds of different things. But I think
Speaker 1: we handle handle it, you know, the right way. I
Speaker 1: just know that, you know, it's it's not how you start,
Speaker 1: it's how you finish. And you know, our goal right
Speaker 1: now is just to win the Nfcast, get healthy, and
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, make sure that we take
Speaker 1: care of what we need to take care of this week.
Speaker 1: You know, we got a short week with the Giants.
Speaker 1: We gotta move on. We got ten games left. We
Speaker 1: can turn this thing around. And we're not that and
Speaker 1: we're not far off at all. We still believe in
Speaker 1: each other despite you know, others. But you know, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's all I really care
Speaker 1: about is everybody's still believing and knowing that we want
Speaker 1: play away from being where we want to be and
Speaker 1: one um turnover away from being where we want to be.
Speaker 1: We just gotta we just gotta do it right. And
Speaker 1: what was the most challenging part about trying to defend
Speaker 1: Lamore today? Uh, just you know his speak. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's a he's a great quarterback and we know that
Speaker 1: he's fast, and uh, you gotta make sure that you
Speaker 1: stay in coverage with him, um and just let him.
Speaker 1: Let him go, you know, let him run get those
Speaker 1: you know, little yards. Just make sure that he don't
Speaker 1: get um you know, because he's an accurate thrower on
Speaker 1: the run, make sure he don't get those open receivers
Speaker 1: based off him just running to the sideline to you know,
Speaker 1: create different things. But I think that, uh, that's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing, just you know, trying to get him to
Speaker 1: contain him. Hey, b g um, bigger picture obviously you're
Speaker 1: not where you wanted to be at the start of
Speaker 1: this season, but you do have that short week as
Speaker 1: you mentioned. Uh is that helpful in some ways from
Speaker 1: you know, a mental standpoint at least to get right
Speaker 1: back out there, Oh for sure. And you know, um,
Speaker 1: it's it's a time, it's a chance for us to
Speaker 1: go out go out there and make some things right,
Speaker 1: you know, and get and get back in the winning column,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like, you know, we got
Speaker 1: got the Giants this week, and you know they ain't
Speaker 1: no slouch either despite the record all that stuff. We
Speaker 1: know what's going on with them, and we see what's
Speaker 1: going on. They just but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: we know that they're gonna play their best against us
Speaker 1: because you know, everybody get paid in this league and
Speaker 1: every and it's and it's definitely even in this league,
Speaker 1: know any given Sunday. So we just got to make
Speaker 1: sure we do our part this week and make sure
Speaker 1: that we stay locked in and keep on building off
Speaker 1: the good things off off these games that we're losing.
Speaker 1: We have time for two more, so we'll go Jamie
Speaker 1: and then Ed Krafts Bright and you just alluded to
Speaker 1: you guys believing in yourselves, but other people maybe not.
Speaker 1: And Doug Peterson got a little almost emotional when talking
Speaker 1: about defending you guys as a team and having you
Speaker 1: block out the outside noise and the criticism we're going
Speaker 1: to hear this week. Is that frustrating for you when
Speaker 1: you know what goes on inside the locker room and
Speaker 1: how banged up you guys are. But the record is
Speaker 1: what the record is? I mean, how do you guys
Speaker 1: handle that? And what is the mentality right now? We
Speaker 1: just we not we we know we gotta fix some issues.
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta get some We gotta get some
Speaker 1: healthy guys in there. You know that could really help
Speaker 1: us too. But I do love what I see with
Speaker 1: the guys that's coming in um. You know that's getting
Speaker 1: short notice. You know they they seem like they ready
Speaker 1: um when they go in there, because you know, obviously
Speaker 1: we go down there. Jack Driscoll get hurt then talk
Speaker 1: going and that boy, you know he did all he could.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying to get us down there
Speaker 1: to get a score. And you know that's all I really,
Speaker 1: you know, can say. It's you know, the people that
Speaker 1: get their opportunities they're making, um, you know, the best
Speaker 1: of it, and um, I know what we have. You
Speaker 1: know that's sitting on the bench right now, that's that's
Speaker 1: trying to get back and get healthy. And all I
Speaker 1: can say is, like you say, it's like, it's not
Speaker 1: how you start, it's how you finish. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna hit We're gonna be hitting it
Speaker 1: at the right time. And man, I still I still
Speaker 1: believe in this team, and we all still believe in
Speaker 1: each other. And it shows just by how easy it
Speaker 1: could have went left when we was down again, you know,
Speaker 1: big seventeen. Nothing people could have, you know, just quit
Speaker 1: on each other and point fingers. But that's not what's
Speaker 1: going on. People trying to figure it out and really
Speaker 1: trying to work their butt off to get us, get
Speaker 1: us a stop and a turnover on defense and a
Speaker 1: score of course, But um, you know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this, keep on, trust me, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And it's it's definitely we're definitely trying to start this week.
Speaker 1: Last question here with that, hey b g um. Getting
Speaker 1: back to an earlier question about Lamar Jackson, I mean,
Speaker 1: he very elusive. You had two sacks on him. How
Speaker 1: hard did he make you have to work for those sacks? Man?
Speaker 1: You see, I was running. You gotta run to the
Speaker 1: sideline sometimes if you want to get a sack on him,
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta run. And today I had that mentality,
Speaker 1: you know, I know, you never out of it. You know,
Speaker 1: you just gotta run around. If you want to run around,
Speaker 1: you gotta run too, you know, And hopefully he cut
Speaker 1: back right until you and he cut back right into
Speaker 1: one of them. One of the sacks I got, and
Speaker 1: then another one I had to run to the sideline
Speaker 1: and get him. But you you know, at the end
Speaker 1: of the at the end of the games with him,
Speaker 1: you're gonna definitely be tired, you know, if if you're
Speaker 1: giving it your all, and that's all you can really
Speaker 1: ask for with your team. We all gave it our all. Um.
Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't good enough today because we came
Speaker 1: up short. But the fight is what I really love
Speaker 1: the most, is because we never out of this game.
Speaker 1: We just gotta keep We just gotta keep tightening up
Speaker 1: early because that their defense put their offense in a
Speaker 1: good position by flipping the field. Um, you know, make
Speaker 1: sure that they get good field position, and you know,
Speaker 1: we just got to do a better jobs as far
Speaker 1: as you know when those times do happen when they
Speaker 1: flipped the field, that we don't let them get in.
Speaker 1: And that's all I can really say. Thanks, PG, appreciate y'all.
Speaker 1: All right, That's all he could really say, and I
Speaker 1: think that's all he really needs to say. Eagles defensive
Speaker 1: end Brandan Graham after a two sack performance against Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson and the Ravens five tackles, two tackles for a loss,
Speaker 1: and now Eagles center Jason Kelsey is at the podium. Jason,
Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time. We'll get started here with
Speaker 1: Bo Wolf and Dave Zangarrow. Hey, Jason. Obviously a lot
Speaker 1: of moving parts again on the offensive line, and Carson
Speaker 1: got hit a lot. Were those um sort of mistakes
Speaker 1: of you know what, guys losing one on one battles
Speaker 1: or were they sort of identification mistakes? Yeah? I think
Speaker 1: he's probably a little bit of everything today. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Ravens do an incredible job of, you know, getting
Speaker 1: after you, especially on third down and when they know
Speaker 1: that you're in a you know, one dimensional game and
Speaker 1: you're throwing it. Um, you know, they'll blit zero from
Speaker 1: anywhere on the field. They'll give you all sorts of
Speaker 1: different looks that make it difficult to really, uh you know,
Speaker 1: try and protect. I thought, honestly, Uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: did a decent job getting getting the calls in and everything,
Speaker 1: and uh you know, obviously there's a lot of room
Speaker 1: for improvement and we should have played better. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: guys are out there fighting their asses off even then
Speaker 1: EJ and Jason Carson obviously got hit quite a bit today.
Speaker 1: What do you what do you show you his resiliency
Speaker 1: in him fighting to stay in that game and play
Speaker 1: well done the stretch. I mean, you know, Carson doesn't
Speaker 1: need to show me anything. You know, I know who
Speaker 1: he is. I know who he's been since he's been here.
Speaker 1: Um you know, I mean he did an unbelievable job
Speaker 1: all year. Really, you're fighting through a lot of hits
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I think he's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it was really you know, when you're when it's man
Speaker 1: coverage like that, you got to try and buy extra
Speaker 1: time and make plays happen. In the second half. Obviously,
Speaker 1: not a great first half for the offense. But the
Speaker 1: second half was uh, you know, a really really good
Speaker 1: showing by him and some of the receivers to make
Speaker 1: some huge plays down the field. Force E Jane and
Speaker 1: Chris Franklin. Hey, Jason, specifically with Klais Campbell, you know,
Speaker 1: Jaman had trouble with him. I think a couple other
Speaker 1: guys too. What went wrong with that matchup in particular.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a good player, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Klais is a perennial port bowler. He's a really uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a great player. He's going up against a
Speaker 1: guy who you know, JB has been uh you know,
Speaker 1: he's been here for a few weeks and he's been
Speaker 1: trying to learn everything. We're trying to build that chemistry.
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I think that he did a
Speaker 1: good job of going in there and battling. And then
Speaker 1: you know, the other hard part about it is they
Speaker 1: blitched so much. You can't really uh you know, it's
Speaker 1: not like you're playing some weeks where you can kind
Speaker 1: of apply help. You know, when they're blitz and zero
Speaker 1: and sending guys all over the place, you really have
Speaker 1: to honor the numbers, which lead to a lot of
Speaker 1: one on one matchups, which obviously when you have a
Speaker 1: really good player and trying not to leave him one
Speaker 1: on one as much as we we I'd do with
Speaker 1: Clays Chris Franklin and then Martin Jason. Seems like every week,
Speaker 1: as he used to be, one guy or two guys
Speaker 1: who are going down either during the game or not
Speaker 1: available during the seat during the next week. Have you
Speaker 1: ever been a part of this, either any professionally or
Speaker 1: in your college days, and how do you guys keep
Speaker 1: that continuity going, especially on a short week now coming
Speaker 1: up with the Giants. Yeah, you know, we've you know,
Speaker 1: we've had some injuries here before. You know, obviously this
Speaker 1: is on another level, and you know, the whole offseason
Speaker 1: and every way everything that's transpired with this season and
Speaker 1: you know, COVID and everything. You're seeing injuries up across
Speaker 1: the league. I mean, everybody seems like they're dealing with
Speaker 1: this issue right now. Um, you know, we're you know,
Speaker 1: I haven't really been a part of something like this drastic,
Speaker 1: I guess in my career, but this is the way,
Speaker 1: you know, you're always trying to, you know, overcome the
Speaker 1: stuff you're always you know, you know, game planning and
Speaker 1: coaching and trying to get guys ready for whoever's going
Speaker 1: to be there on game day. And at the end
Speaker 1: of the day in this league, that's all that matters.
Speaker 1: You know. You can't make excuses. You can't you know,
Speaker 1: say hey, we got this, this and this. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, do you win the
Speaker 1: game or you lose the game? You know, does a
Speaker 1: guy that's in there, is he getting the job done?
Speaker 1: Or are we getting the job done as a unit? Um?
Speaker 1: You know it could have been better today for sure,
Speaker 1: really good defense, you know. Um, but um, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just part of the way this this
Speaker 1: game is going in the way this season has gone,
Speaker 1: and you know, you you you roll with the circumstances
Speaker 1: and and and try to do the best you can
Speaker 1: and find a way to get it done. Martin and
Speaker 1: then Jeff McLean Jason, if I can kind of follow
Speaker 1: up with that, Um, you, you and Carson are the
Speaker 1: only starters from the beginning of the season who are
Speaker 1: still in there when the game ended. I mean, what's
Speaker 1: that like for you? Um? Playing on an offensive line
Speaker 1: with like four guys who you know weren't expected to play.
Speaker 1: You know to start or play it all this season. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously more's on my shoulders. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be a better leader and trying to
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that we're overstating communication that guys
Speaker 1: understand everything going on. Um. I've been honestly quite happy
Speaker 1: with a number of the guys who have come in
Speaker 1: and played. Some of these young guys, they've they've gone
Speaker 1: in and battled and done a great job. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: Nate Herbig has really been done well and Malata is
Speaker 1: obviously everybody wants to talk about him. The big rugby
Speaker 1: players going out there and done a great job. You know,
Speaker 1: Jack Driscoll as a rookies play phenomenal. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: We've we've gotten some guys that have answered the bell
Speaker 1: and you know, for me, um, you know, I just
Speaker 1: try and make sure that I overstay communication during the week,
Speaker 1: try and help these guys so that anything that could
Speaker 1: arise they're ready for and they're prepared for. UM. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I try and overstay communication, try and help
Speaker 1: as much as I can to make guys feel comfortable,
Speaker 1: put guys in a good situation. And uh, you know
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's not as it's it's a little
Speaker 1: bit more for me trying to do all that stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have the luxury at Brandon Brooks
Speaker 1: being able to help me out or you know Isaac
Speaker 1: Sayumalu or Lane and stuff like that, where we've had
Speaker 1: some tremendous players and guys with a lot of experience.
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I enjoy helping guys out. I
Speaker 1: enjoy you know, giving up myself to tell other people
Speaker 1: to try and uh, you know win a game. So
Speaker 1: um yeah, yeah, Zack Jason on the on the last
Speaker 1: two point conversion, Doug said that it took a little while,
Speaker 1: it might be a little later getting the play in,
Speaker 1: and then Carson said, yeah, coming out of the huddle,
Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, the clock with down
Speaker 1: because you only got think you only get twenty seconds
Speaker 1: on on the two point conversions. And did you did
Speaker 1: that kind of mess with the rhythm of that play
Speaker 1: at all from your perspective? I don't think so, you know,
Speaker 1: I think we got up to the line. It was rushed,
Speaker 1: I think, But that's not really a play that you
Speaker 1: got to communicate a lot on. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: an inside zone read play with a pass option on it,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, they played it pretty well defensively. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, that's all I got Zach and then Less
Speaker 1: and Jason. The first half obviously, as as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: was tough for the offense. Things got going in the
Speaker 1: second half. Lower the differences there from your perspectives, I
Speaker 1: would played better, you know, I think, you know they
Speaker 1: you know, we did a good job of really making
Speaker 1: some incredible plays at the receiver position and guys find
Speaker 1: a way to get open, and some great throws by Carson.
Speaker 1: You obviously we were able to have that huge run
Speaker 1: kind of to start out the second half there, which
Speaker 1: was a big momentum shifter. Um. You know, they they
Speaker 1: were doing a great job in the first half. I
Speaker 1: mean they were making it really difficult. They're blitzing all
Speaker 1: over the place. And I really think we settled in
Speaker 1: and started getting into the rhythm there in the second half.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously, wish we could have wish we would
Speaker 1: have done that the whole game. Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think that there were some things in the first half
Speaker 1: that were there for the taking that we just kind
Speaker 1: of missed on. It wasn't you know, I thought it
Speaker 1: was you know, closer in the first half, even though
Speaker 1: we didn't. I mean it was like three and out
Speaker 1: three out through now. But you know, we gotta we
Speaker 1: got a screen there in the first half there. If
Speaker 1: we get it completed, I think it's a good play,
Speaker 1: you know, I think there are some things there that
Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, if we can just kind of
Speaker 1: get something going, we're going to be in a good spot.
Speaker 1: You have time for two Morris will go less and
Speaker 1: John McMullin. Ellie, My question was already asked, So John
Speaker 1: Conjoy head, Okay, go ahead, John, Hey Jason. Obviously, Doug
Speaker 1: has mentioned adversity, Jim has mentioned adversity on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the football. When you have those young players,
Speaker 1: even though there's no moral victories in this league, do
Speaker 1: you think you can take the fight in this game
Speaker 1: and sort of, I don't know, for lack of a
Speaker 1: better word, just put a spark into them and give
Speaker 1: them a little more confidence. Yeah, And it's not just
Speaker 1: about them, you know, I think, you know, we're trying
Speaker 1: to put a spark in this team. We gotta start
Speaker 1: winning football games, you know, and these guys have done
Speaker 1: a tremendous job going out there and battling and going
Speaker 1: out there and fighting. Um, and you know, I think
Speaker 1: you know we've been, we've been close and most of
Speaker 1: the games, I mean, I think outside of one game,
Speaker 1: they've all really been there for the taking. And good
Speaker 1: teams find a way to get those games done and uh,
Speaker 1: find a way to to get him in the win column.
Speaker 1: You know we've been. You know, guys are trying. That's
Speaker 1: not the issue. The issue is execution. The issue is mistakes. Um.
Speaker 1: You know we've been you know, plusing the turnover to
Speaker 1: frenchial margin in one game, and that one game is
Speaker 1: the only game we've won. So you take care of
Speaker 1: the football, you don't have penalties. You know, this isn't
Speaker 1: you know, it comes down to the same core things.
Speaker 1: You know, if you go out there and you try hard,
Speaker 1: you take care of the football and you don't commit
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes and gross areas penalties, you're gonna
Speaker 1: win more than you lose. And you know, we got
Speaker 1: to start doing that. We got to take care of
Speaker 1: the football, got to eliminate the mistakes the penalties and uh,
Speaker 1: and if we can do that, we'll start winning football games.
Speaker 1: Thanks Jason, thank you. Okay, Jason Kelsey putting it quite simply,
Speaker 1: if you take care of the football, you win the
Speaker 1: turnover battle, don't make the mistakes, You'll start winning more
Speaker 1: football games. And that is what this team needs to do.
Speaker 1: He praises the effort of some of his young offensive
Speaker 1: lineman guys who have stepped up when their number was
Speaker 1: called this season, talking about, look, that's just how it
Speaker 1: is this season with injuries, that's how this year is
Speaker 1: going to be. That's what's happening across the league, and look,
Speaker 1: you just have to roll with it and do your best.
Speaker 1: He's been quite happy with a lot of the younger guys,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned. He named Nate Herbig, Jordan Mailatta, and
Speaker 1: Jack Driscoll specifically, and just share it on how he's
Speaker 1: so happy to give of himself to help bring them along.
Speaker 1: And of course he misses having other offensive linemen who
Speaker 1: have been starters with him historically here in this team
Speaker 1: to help do some of that as well, but he's
Speaker 1: happy to do it. He also talked about the Ravens
Speaker 1: defense and that they blitz a lot. We talked about
Speaker 1: that before this game. This is the team in the
Speaker 1: NFL that litz is the most that leads to a
Speaker 1: lot of one on one matchups. It's not what you
Speaker 1: want with Klais Campbell out there. Kalais Campbell, of course
Speaker 1: made his presence felt as well. I believe he had
Speaker 1: well let's see, looks like the stats are frozen. Well,
Speaker 1: he had a lot of sacks today, at least three.
Speaker 1: I think it was his fourth three sack game if
Speaker 1: I remember seeing that correctly from the broadcast. Kelsey all,
Speaker 1: all right, so I'm gonna go ahead and bring in
Speaker 1: Fran Duffy and Fran let's just talk about this offensive
Speaker 1: line and just every single week we say, okay, another
Speaker 1: injury on the offensive line, another guy up. But every
Speaker 1: single week this is the story, and it almost I
Speaker 1: don't want us to become immune to the fact that
Speaker 1: this is a lot of adversity this team has faced,
Speaker 1: and the fact that every guy is ready to do
Speaker 1: his best to put his heart out there when his
Speaker 1: numbers called, as Kelsey talked about, is certainly a testament
Speaker 1: to the players here and to this coaching staff, no question,
Speaker 1: especially when you look at a guy and Brett Toth
Speaker 1: who just got here this week, right, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not like he's been here since training camp and has
Speaker 1: been repping with these guys, communicating with these guys. He
Speaker 1: was here last training camp in twenty nineteen, but just
Speaker 1: arrived here this week from Arizone off Waivers so to
Speaker 1: meet for him to step in late in the game
Speaker 1: in that situation in crunch time. I think that speaks
Speaker 1: to his work ethic. It speaks to the teammates getting
Speaker 1: him acclimated, It speaks to the coaches getting him prepared
Speaker 1: both mentally and physically. So that certainly is a big
Speaker 1: thing to take away from this game. Look the offensive life,
Speaker 1: you know, the health issues have been well documented, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, they have just just been an embarrassment of
Speaker 1: injuries right now. They're in a really, really tough spot,
Speaker 1: just unfortunate luck at that position this year. But they've
Speaker 1: they've they're trying to figure a way to grind through it, right,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna they're gonna have to continue to find
Speaker 1: ways to try and manufacture runs. They got another big
Speaker 1: run today out of Miles Sanders in a well schemed play.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was a big factor in that. Jason Kelsey
Speaker 1: made a huge block at the second level and then
Speaker 1: you had wide receivers doing their thing downfield as well.
Speaker 1: It's a similar kind of instance that happened last week
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. So I think they're gonna need to continue
Speaker 1: to find those chunk plays in the run game because overall,
Speaker 1: you know, consistency has certainly been an issue. But you
Speaker 1: can understand why this might be kind of a tough
Speaker 1: question before you look at the film. But Kelsey was
Speaker 1: asked about what change for the offense. Was it adjustments
Speaker 1: that were made, and he said, I think we just
Speaker 1: started executing better and that's what really led to this
Speaker 1: offense starting to click. Did you see them do anything
Speaker 1: besides scheme up that Jalen Hurts run to provide that spark?
Speaker 1: Was it a matter of execution a combination? What does
Speaker 1: this What does the game look like if John high
Speaker 1: Tower catches that on the first third down of the game,
Speaker 1: or if Miles Sanders catches that touchdown in the end zone?
Speaker 1: You know, I you know, it changes the outlook of
Speaker 1: the game. And so yeah, execution absolutely, you know, it
Speaker 1: keeps keeps drives alive. You know, we talked about that
Speaker 1: on the other side with the defense, you know, keeping
Speaker 1: the offense on the field for third on those third
Speaker 1: and longs from Baltimore, that helps them put points on
Speaker 1: the board. Goes the other way as well, if the
Speaker 1: Eagles stay on the field on third down, that gives
Speaker 1: you more opportunities to put points on the board, of course,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that we are going to have all
Speaker 1: of that broken down for us as you get a
Speaker 1: really good look at the film. I think we are
Speaker 1: a few moments away here from having Eagle safety Rodney
Speaker 1: McCleod joining us. McLeod today, four tackles, five combined in
Speaker 1: an Eagles effort. A tough challenge there for them fran
Speaker 1: where they had to all eleven guys on defense. That
Speaker 1: was the cliche. And okay, here's Ronnie at the podium.
Speaker 1: Let's listen, hey, Rodney, thanks for taking the time today.
Speaker 1: We'll get started here with bow Wolf and then Jamie A. Pody. Hey, Rodney,
Speaker 1: how did the challenge of defending Lamar compared to what
Speaker 1: you were expecting? Oh? Yeah, I think for the most
Speaker 1: part we did a good job. I contained them outside
Speaker 1: of the one run for a touchdown and then obviously
Speaker 1: the late in the game, you know, he escapes out,
Speaker 1: but I mean, a player like that, you have to expect.
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna make some plays and Jim, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: spress that to us early the game, I mean earlier
Speaker 1: this week, not to get frustrated by it. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna make some plays with his legs, the throws
Speaker 1: that he makes, side arms, but just keep battling. And
Speaker 1: I think that's what we displayed today. Battled all the
Speaker 1: way through to the end and gave ourselves a chance
Speaker 1: to win. Jamie and and Ron, Maddy Rodney, you guys
Speaker 1: fought right to the end there and you know, gave yourself,
Speaker 1: like you said, it's a chance to win the game.
Speaker 1: But yet you're still one four and one. Can you
Speaker 1: speak to the frustration of your record being what it
Speaker 1: is despite the effort you guys are putting out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's extremely difficult understanding what's reality. We are one four
Speaker 1: and one, but we're also just a couple of players
Speaker 1: away from, you know, being having a winning record. But
Speaker 1: what's encouraging is the fight, uh. And that's the character
Speaker 1: of this team. Willing is not to quit, to continue
Speaker 1: to believe in ourselves no matter what's going on in
Speaker 1: the game or throughout the week man. We stick together
Speaker 1: and that's what you're seeing, not only defensively, but offensively
Speaker 1: in all three phases of the game. And so that's
Speaker 1: what we will build on going into the Giants. We
Speaker 1: understand what's that state us a division opponent, and so
Speaker 1: there's a huge week for us, opportunity to get back
Speaker 1: on track, but also to get a division win. Rodney
Speaker 1: teams that are won four and one are usually looking
Speaker 1: ahead to next year. But in this division with Dallas
Speaker 1: to two and three and only a half game ahead
Speaker 1: of you, guys, how much is I mean not comforting,
Speaker 1: But do you guys take out of that knowing that
Speaker 1: you're still in this if you can go out there
Speaker 1: get a win against the Giants, control the divisional games
Speaker 1: that you have coming up. Yeah, we're in control of
Speaker 1: our own destiny. We just had to take it one
Speaker 1: game at a time, and fortunate enough for us it's
Speaker 1: a division opponent coming up next at home Thursday night game,
Speaker 1: and so we're looking forward to our tunity seven than John.
Speaker 1: They aroute all the injuries on this team, How do
Speaker 1: you guys not get down when you're seeing multiple starters
Speaker 1: leave every game At the end of the day, we
Speaker 1: have to play this game with whomever we put out
Speaker 1: on the field, whatever eleven minutes out there. We put
Speaker 1: our faith in trusting those guys, and that's what we
Speaker 1: created here. That's the culture. We don't flinch, we don't
Speaker 1: make excuses, and so when you come in, the expectation
Speaker 1: is still the same, get your job done and execute.
Speaker 1: So man, countless guys have gone in throughout this season
Speaker 1: and made tremendous plays, Guys like Fogum who seems to
Speaker 1: show up each and every week, who's making a name
Speaker 1: for himself. So that will continue to happen, and we'll
Speaker 1: get some guys back, hopefully this week. But I think
Speaker 1: that will make our team even stronger with the depth
Speaker 1: now that we're creating for some of these guys. John Iman,
Speaker 1: Zach Hey, rod Um, you mentioned some of those moving parts,
Speaker 1: and it happened again and at the safety position jailing back,
Speaker 1: moved back. Will Parks was there for the first time
Speaker 1: and then you were sort of in the big nickel
Speaker 1: with them. How do you think that worked out first time?
Speaker 1: I think it worked out well. We prepared all week
Speaker 1: and we went out and executed. Communication was great, It
Speaker 1: was good having Will Parks back in back into the
Speaker 1: defensive scheme and as well as meals back into safety position.
Speaker 1: So I was extremely proud of atum at us this today,
Speaker 1: Zach and Chris, Murray, Ronnie in the first half some
Speaker 1: of those third and months they were able to convert.
Speaker 1: We with the issue there. Yeah, it was just uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you'd like to see just a little tider
Speaker 1: coverage that. I mean, they made a good, good catch
Speaker 1: on outside. We said we wanted to force the ball outside. Uh,
Speaker 1: they made a great uh throw it and catch U.
Speaker 1: So you with that. I think the next time they
Speaker 1: caught us off guard, they quick snapped us uh and
Speaker 1: it was able to pick it up, but quickly Uh
Speaker 1: we fixed that. And I think we did uh very
Speaker 1: well moving forward on third downs. But that is something
Speaker 1: that hey, we get them in third and tent third
Speaker 1: and eleven. We gotta win those situations. But we did
Speaker 1: uh make an adjustment and quickly uh nipped it in
Speaker 1: the butt. We have time from two more, so we'll
Speaker 1: go Chris and then bow team from really coming up
Speaker 1: with an effort where they played for the entire four
Speaker 1: quarters and not at certain parts of the game, and
Speaker 1: you have an all um formula loss Okay, it's difficult
Speaker 1: to hear. Sorry, but we'll go to you. Hey, Ronnie,
Speaker 1: if you could put yourself on the other side, what
Speaker 1: would be the stress of going up against those two
Speaker 1: quarterback formations when when Jillen Hurts is on the field. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you have no idea how they plan to attack.
Speaker 1: You know, when they have first behind center and you
Speaker 1: have Carson on outside. You just have to play discipline
Speaker 1: ball and just do your job on that play. But
Speaker 1: we work a lot of those plays throughout the week,
Speaker 1: so it's showed itself, presented itself today and we went
Speaker 1: out and executed and that created a spark for the offense.
Speaker 1: Thanks Rodney. Okay, that's Eagles safety Rodney McCloud discussing just
Speaker 1: how difficult it is to contain a player like Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: but feels good about what his team did today containing him,
Speaker 1: aside from a couple of big plays, which of course,
Speaker 1: is what makes Jackson so dangerous overall. As we continue
Speaker 1: to wait to hear from Travis Fulgum, who once again
Speaker 1: led the Eagles in receiving yards seventy five yards on
Speaker 1: six catches and a touchdown, and here he is taking
Speaker 1: the podium. Now, Hey Travis, thanks for taking the time.
Speaker 1: We'll get started here with John McMullin. Hey, Travis, obviously,
Speaker 1: coming off the big game in Pittsburgh, maybe not as
Speaker 1: successful statistically, but Carson was looking for you still made
Speaker 1: a number of plays to be able to do that
Speaker 1: in back to back weeks. What does that do for
Speaker 1: your confidence? Um? Yeah, it means a lot that Carson
Speaker 1: trust me now and where we continue to build on it.
Speaker 1: But um, I just wish I could have made more
Speaker 1: place for the team and we just need to do
Speaker 1: more to get the win. And indeed, hey Travis, three
Speaker 1: touchdown catches and three games take us through this. Uh,
Speaker 1: this most recent one, it might have been the more
Speaker 1: difficult of the three. Possibly Yeah, Um, um wentz made
Speaker 1: a check at the line. It was a great check
Speaker 1: and um he placed the ball in the right spot,
Speaker 1: floated up and let me get a chance to go
Speaker 1: up and get it. Steven and Zach Travis in these
Speaker 1: last three games, have you learned anything about Carson they
Speaker 1: didn't know before? No, I always I always thought he
Speaker 1: was a great quarterback and he's just proving it. Zach
Speaker 1: and then Boe Travis, it seemed in the in the
Speaker 1: second half there and especially late at Carson was just
Speaker 1: throwing it up to you, like the past interference the
Speaker 1: touchdown is that? Is that something you guys have have
Speaker 1: communicated that if he just throws it up, you'll win
Speaker 1: those jump offs. I mean, that's the play. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say I'm not gonna come down with it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I have confidence in him at all times. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we just we keep continuing to grow bow And then
Speaker 1: Daniel Travis, it looked like you almost had that Hail
Speaker 1: Mary at the end of the first half. Take us
Speaker 1: through that play. Yeah, I thought I did. I had
Speaker 1: it at first, came back down and unfortunately I didn't
Speaker 1: make the play for my team. Go ahead, Daniel Hey Travis.
Speaker 1: With Carson, he drew at the John on the deep
Speaker 1: ball on the first possession. John couldn't come up with it,
Speaker 1: but he went back to him a couple of times,
Speaker 1: got him on the fifty yard or What does that
Speaker 1: do for you guys as young receivers to know that
Speaker 1: you know if you don't necessarily make that first play
Speaker 1: that Carson will still come back to you. Oh, that's major.
Speaker 1: It's it's great that Carson has has that trust in us,
Speaker 1: and he keeps coming back. He has confidence and that's
Speaker 1: what we need if we're going to continue to keep
Speaker 1: growing and get wins for this team. Go ahead, boll.
Speaker 1: I know you're not always on the field for these players, Travis,
Speaker 1: but when it's you know, when Jalen Hurts is in
Speaker 1: the game and you guys have both quarterbacks on the field,
Speaker 1: do you feel like that, you know, as a level
Speaker 1: of stress to the defense. Oh? Absolutely. Jalen was making
Speaker 1: people look silly out there today and I love watching
Speaker 1: him play and it gives a lot of juice to
Speaker 1: the team. I'm going to rubon Frank Travis Carson said,
Speaker 1: he feels like you can still get a lot better
Speaker 1: despite what you've done these last few weeks. Um, how
Speaker 1: do you feel about that and what do you think
Speaker 1: you can get better at? Absolutely? I can get better. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean I won't narrow down to one aspect, but
Speaker 1: all parts of my game can improve. We'll go to
Speaker 1: Martin Frank Travis, Um, you one of your your college coaches.
Speaker 1: You were a basketball player growing up. I was wondering,
Speaker 1: like how much that helps you, like, you know, going
Speaker 1: up for those fifty fifty balls. You know, like you've
Speaker 1: been doing these last few weeks. Yeah. Absolutely, um, like
Speaker 1: for the hail may you know, just box someone out
Speaker 1: and go up and go get it. Baseball too, you know,
Speaker 1: tracking the ball center field. You know, all the sports
Speaker 1: helped me out to get where I'm at today. And
Speaker 1: how good were you in basketball? I think I was
Speaker 1: pretty good? All right, thanks Travis, thank you. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: Eagles receiver Travis Fulga, who for the third game in
Speaker 1: a row, had a touchdown. Three games in an Eagle's
Speaker 1: uniform and three touchdown's pretty impressive stuff. We are going
Speaker 1: to take a quick break here on the postgame show
Speaker 1: presented by Rico. On the other side, we have the
Speaker 1: Rico review. It's a really good one. You're gonna want
Speaker 1: to see that, as well as the nominees for the
Speaker 1: Toyota Player of the Week. Stay with us. This does
Speaker 1: not look like a discount sofa. It's not everything. I
Speaker 1: Zella is quality furniture, and I give you a discount
Speaker 1: Bob's discount. Interesting. I remember this for as long as
Speaker 1: I live. Bob, you look so young, do you remember
Speaker 1: it's not discount furniture. It's quality furniture at our discount
Speaker 1: Bob's Discount Discount only at Bob's Discount Furniture. Thanks for
Speaker 1: watching a postgame show presented by Rico. Today. Rico review
Speaker 1: is a really exciting one. Jalen Hurts provided a spark
Speaker 1: to this offense when he came in and broke loose
Speaker 1: for a big run, leading a twenty yard run down
Speaker 1: the field and providing some life into this Eagles offense.
Speaker 1: And that is the subject of today's Rico review. Here's
Speaker 1: fran Duffy with Moore. All right, well, let's get to
Speaker 1: the first first down of the game for this Eagles offense,
Speaker 1: and that was late in the first half. They're gonna
Speaker 1: put Jalen Hurts in the backfield next to Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Carson Wentz at the top of the screen,
Speaker 1: and this is just gonna be a little bit of
Speaker 1: a zone read play here for Jalen Hurts, and all
Speaker 1: you're gonna see is you're gonna get both of the
Speaker 1: backside line in the garden the tackle. They're both gonna
Speaker 1: pull front side for Jalen Hurts. He's going to read
Speaker 1: with the mesh point here with Miles Sanders in the backfield.
Speaker 1: Looks like he's reading one of these second level defenders
Speaker 1: up here at the linebacker level. And we'll let this
Speaker 1: go here for a second. And the big thing that
Speaker 1: I want you to see is how there's a couple
Speaker 1: of plays built in here for this Eagles offense. Because
Speaker 1: now what you've got our two offensive timon place Sis
Speaker 1: and again and look looks like he's reading on one
Speaker 1: of these guys. Hi, who hang up? Wow? All right,
Speaker 1: now is the time to vote for the Toyota Player
Speaker 1: of the Week. Go to Philadelphia Eagles dot com slash
Speaker 1: Toyota Player of the Week to cast your vote. Today's
Speaker 1: nominees Carson Wentz, Brandon Graham, and Josh Sweat. Um. Look,
Speaker 1: I think we can make an argument for all three
Speaker 1: guys here. Um, Josh SWT I thought had a really
Speaker 1: nice game, of course, Brandon Graham two sacks on Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: But I don't know how it cannot be Carson Wentz today, Guys,
Speaker 1: to me, this is the guy who put the team
Speaker 1: on his back and gave the Eagles a chance to
Speaker 1: win it there at the end. Um, I come looking
Speaker 1: at you, who do you Who are you taking of
Speaker 1: the three? Well, I'm gonna go with the Bronco. Amy,
Speaker 1: I gotta go with Carson Wentz. You're You're absolutely right,
Speaker 1: joshuat Brandon Graham. Fantastic job. Continue to be disruptors on
Speaker 1: that deepensive side of the ball. But you know, I
Speaker 1: thought this game was over at thirty to fourteen, and
Speaker 1: the only reason it was not over is because number
Speaker 1: eleven wasn't ready for the game to be over. And
Speaker 1: the way that he continued to fight and pull his
Speaker 1: teammates along with him and have an opportunity to send
Speaker 1: this game in the overtime. Yeah, great job by Carson
Speaker 1: continuing the show while the organization has made him the
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. I think a great day for Team LTVB there.
Speaker 1: Like Fran let me go to you and let me
Speaker 1: apologize to you for an inter reviewers at home that
Speaker 1: we had some technical difficulties on the Rico review. But
Speaker 1: Frand's breakdowns will be all over our website and social
Speaker 1: media this week, so you'll have plenty of chances to
Speaker 1: watch that in your Toyota Player of the Week. It's
Speaker 1: gotta I agree with like, it's got to be the Bronco,
Speaker 1: It's got to be Carson Wentz here. I mean I
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier a herculean effort with his ability to put
Speaker 1: the team on his back and just drive them to
Speaker 1: the brink of victory, right, I mean, he's walking into
Speaker 1: the end zone if not for some miss blocks on
Speaker 1: that two point conversion. You know what he was able
Speaker 1: to do with both his arm and his legs and
Speaker 1: most importantly his heart in this game, not to get
Speaker 1: to uh you know, in terms of like the sayings
Speaker 1: here in the football axioms, but you know, with what
Speaker 1: he was able to do late in this game really
Speaker 1: really impressive. Absolutely, Look, they're cliches for a reason. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick look at the eagles next matchup.
Speaker 1: It's primetime Thursday night football. The New York Football Giants
Speaker 1: are coming to town at NFC East rivalry, and of course,
Speaker 1: every single game counts, especially in the division, especially this year.
Speaker 1: And guys, the Giants got their first win today over
Speaker 1: the Washington Football team, so now I believe everybody in
Speaker 1: the NFC East has a win, so FRAN a critical
Speaker 1: game for the Eagles, especially against a Giants team with
Speaker 1: a new head coach and guys playing with a lot
Speaker 1: of buy in. Yeah, no question, And obviously anytime these
Speaker 1: two teams match up, you know, throw all the records out.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think both these teams would like
Speaker 1: to throw the records out at this point with you
Speaker 1: know how it's gone early in the season. But I
Speaker 1: think really when you look at both these teams, they're
Speaker 1: gonna come in and play hard. You know. With what
Speaker 1: the Eagles have done over the last two games, even
Speaker 1: though they've been losses, the way that they've competed has
Speaker 1: been really impressive. And you look at the Giants team
Speaker 1: with what they were able to do today against Washington.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to dig into this tape. I've been studying
Speaker 1: this team for about a week now. I'm excited to
Speaker 1: see what they were able to put on tape today.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good game one Thursday night. Well,
Speaker 1: and you got the sense from every single one of
Speaker 1: those Eagles players that they are really excited to get
Speaker 1: on the field quickly against that team. I give me
Speaker 1: one to two sentences, Max about this matchup. What do
Speaker 1: you think nfcast throw the records out? This game won't
Speaker 1: be easy Thursday considered. The Eagles are shorthanded, but it's
Speaker 1: a win that we must get. It'll be a tough
