Speaker 1: And thirty four to twenty seven your final score. Nigel
Speaker 1: Browden with the interception in the end zone to ice
Speaker 1: it as the Eagles steal one on the road at
Speaker 1: Green Bay. What a game, Mike, What do you? What
Speaker 1: are you? Let's just start your process at this roller coaster.
Speaker 1: We've had a couple of roller coaster games for the
Speaker 1: Eagles here that we've been discussing on the postgame show
Speaker 1: presented by Rico. That's what you're watching right now. And
Speaker 1: the Eagles come out with a w and this one.
Speaker 1: Good feelings all around. Yeah, it finally feels good to
Speaker 1: be on this side of the close games. We know
Speaker 1: how many close games this team has been in over
Speaker 1: the last year plus, games that they played in and
Speaker 1: we've often come up on the wrong end of those games.
Speaker 1: So it's great to see them tonight have a gut
Speaker 1: check win and be able to pull this game out
Speaker 1: amy a roller coaster game. You knew it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: easy going up the lambeau Field taken on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: They want to give you everything that they had tonight,
Speaker 1: trying to get to four. No, but the Eagles would
Speaker 1: not give in to this game tonight. Big plays at
Speaker 1: the big plays and key moments, And how about that defense,
Speaker 1: under man, how many guys can you lose from that
Speaker 1: side of the football and still be able to field
Speaker 1: a serviceable defense? And they were able to do that tonight,
Speaker 1: even after losing two of their cornerbacks tonight in Avonte
Speaker 1: Maddox late in the game, certainly hope that he's okay.
Speaker 1: Lost Sydney Jones to a hamstring earlier in the game.
Speaker 1: I mean, who else was left? I was getting pages
Speaker 1: saying do I have any type of energy left in
Speaker 1: mode legs? And see if I could go out the
Speaker 1: brain bay pages. I'm sorry, what year is it? But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not totally serious from my point, that's that's how
Speaker 1: crazy this game is. We saw a couple of really
Speaker 1: impressive goal line stands from the Eagles defense again against
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, who just is never a quarterback, who he's
Speaker 1: never completely out of it. They always have a chance
Speaker 1: and super impressive, especially to see at the end there
Speaker 1: that interception by Nigel Bradham to it but on the
Speaker 1: heels of Avante Maddox going down, very scary play. The
Speaker 1: team comes out rallies around him, he gets he goes
Speaker 1: off on a stretcher and this team responds on the
Speaker 1: goal line with this interception. To Isa, let's get into
Speaker 1: your takeaways, take me through them. Well, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: the first thing I tell you away from this game
Speaker 1: is how the offensive line played to night, whether it
Speaker 1: be in the past game, but especially in the run game,
Speaker 1: close to two hundred yards rushing by far, the best
Speaker 1: running game of the season for this offense. Whether it
Speaker 1: was Jordan Howard with his three touchdowns a night running
Speaker 1: in between the tackles, Mole Sanders being able to show
Speaker 1: some of that explosiveness and display why they drafted him
Speaker 1: in the second round. Just a great job. I think
Speaker 1: Carson may have been sacked once to night if that
Speaker 1: wasn't under a whole lot of pressure. They did an
Speaker 1: awesome job the offensive line and then the running game,
Speaker 1: the way they were able to just pound that football
Speaker 1: whenever they wanted to, to take advantage of this Packers defense,
Speaker 1: this vaunted Packers defense. Love the fact that that was
Speaker 1: part of the game plan coming in. Run the football
Speaker 1: on these guys and they stuck with it. And to me,
Speaker 1: that was the key to them winning this football game
Speaker 1: and night because they were able to control that clock.
Speaker 1: We saw Aaron Rodgers does not need a lot of
Speaker 1: time out there on the field to score, so you
Speaker 1: needed to possess the ball as much as you could. Well,
Speaker 1: and like you said, very balanced. They had where is it,
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy six rushing yards, one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty yards through the air, so very balanced. A little
Speaker 1: bit more towards the run game, which is kind of
Speaker 1: that ideal formula that Doug Peterson likes to go to,
Speaker 1: and he hasn't been able to rely on the run
Speaker 1: game last season and kind of the beginning of this season,
Speaker 1: you're really starting to see those guys get going. A
Speaker 1: career night for Jordan Howard with the three touchdowns that
Speaker 1: ties a career best for him, and then you saw
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders with a career high as well. I think
Speaker 1: he had almost eighty yards. I can tell you about
Speaker 1: two seconds. What about your second takeaway, Well, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you the way Carson Wentz looked tonight, taking what the
Speaker 1: defense gave and you knew that the numbers in a
Speaker 1: big place through the air wouldn't necessarily be there all night,
Speaker 1: but they needed to take advantage of the opportunities when
Speaker 1: it presented itself and the Eagles were basically flawless in
Speaker 1: the red zone tonight, and a lot of them had
Speaker 1: to do with the passing in the red zone to Night,
Speaker 1: able to get down the field, big throws on third down.
Speaker 1: Great to see al Sean back in the game. Had
Speaker 1: a couple miss miss throws with al Sean. But for
Speaker 1: the most part, I love the fact that Carson didn't
Speaker 1: force anything to night, didn't feel the pressure to put
Speaker 1: everything on his back and sort of make plays. Took
Speaker 1: the plays when they were there. Loved the way that
Speaker 1: he controlled this offense and went to the running game.
Speaker 1: Didn't have a problem relying on that running game. So
Speaker 1: several times where he checked to a run where it
Speaker 1: may have been a pass play called he checks and
Speaker 1: see if there's a six man seven man box advantage, Eagles,
Speaker 1: they run the ball. Just a great job of him
Speaker 1: quarterback in the offense tonight. No turnover so which is
Speaker 1: a key, three touchdowns, no interceptions for Carson, wentz one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards through the arragain relying on that
Speaker 1: run game and being able to rely on that run game.
Speaker 1: What about your last takeaway and then this is a
Speaker 1: total team effort tonight. Aimy two tough losses. This team
Speaker 1: is coming off of so much negativity on the outside
Speaker 1: surrounding this team, season seemingly hanging in the balance. Here
Speaker 1: on this game tonight, a short week on the road,
Speaker 1: this was a must win game. Coaches don't like to
Speaker 1: use that, especially when you're talking about game four in
Speaker 1: the season, but I gotta tell you, it felt like
Speaker 1: the Eagles had to win this game tonight. They were
Speaker 1: under man This was a gut check win tonight, coming
Speaker 1: off the way that last game ended against the Lions,
Speaker 1: where you felt like you left a golden opportunity out
Speaker 1: there on the field to win the game. On a
Speaker 1: short week on the road, going up in a tough
Speaker 1: place against an undebeated team, against a team that's given
Speaker 1: up the second most points in the league this year.
Speaker 1: They go up there put up thirty four points. It
Speaker 1: really was and all around effort offense, defense, special teams.
Speaker 1: Now Sanders with the big kickoff return to sort of
Speaker 1: jump start this offense. They needed all hands on deck
Speaker 1: for this game tonight. Doug Peterson with another great game
Speaker 1: call for his players and really getting these guys locked
Speaker 1: in and ready to go to night, Yeah, handing the
Speaker 1: Packers their first loss of the season. Green Bay had
Speaker 1: only allowed thirty five points in their first three games.
Speaker 1: They allowed thirty four to the Eagles tonight. And we
Speaker 1: know this was a very exciting game for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was really exciting for Merrill Reese and
Speaker 1: Mike Quick. We're gonna take a look at Merrill cam.
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is gonna be a good one here.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look, Okay, him later hopefully, let's continue
Speaker 1: with Let's add some more takeaways to the list. We
Speaker 1: have the Big three, some of mine here. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about Look, having Alshon Jeffrey back in the offense huge
Speaker 1: for the Eagles. And you mentioned a couple of miss
Speaker 1: throws their weather. That was Carson Weather, that was Alshana.
Speaker 1: That was great defense. Combinations of the three, right, But
Speaker 1: considering just having him back on the field and having
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard back on the field, how much that opens
Speaker 1: things up and just gives Doug Peterson so many more options.
Speaker 1: It's huge, amy because now al Sean is going to
Speaker 1: take attention away from a guy like zach Ertz. That's
Speaker 1: why zach Ertz was able to have the night that
Speaker 1: he had tonight, big catches for Zach on third down
Speaker 1: al Shan, we know what he can do in the
Speaker 1: red zone, scoring the first touchdown of the game. It's
Speaker 1: just an added weapon to this arsenal that's gonna make
Speaker 1: it difficult for defense to defend. You must account for
Speaker 1: when number seventeen and Zette had some big catches on
Speaker 1: third down to night. Also adding a guy like Dallas
Speaker 1: got it in there. Maybe didn't show up as much
Speaker 1: in the passing game, had a few catches, but he
Speaker 1: was huge in the run game. The Eagles love to
Speaker 1: go to their twelve personnel package right two tight ends,
Speaker 1: two receivers with one running back that allows them to
Speaker 1: run to football and most of their big runs tonight
Speaker 1: came out of their twelve personnel package. Okay, so Miles Sanders,
Speaker 1: the rookie running back, has a career night. It is
Speaker 1: very long Eagles career, seventy two yards on eleven carries.
Speaker 1: But what really stood out to me was you seen
Speaker 1: the difference that time has made. Kid seemed like he
Speaker 1: kind of took a step forward in his abilities there
Speaker 1: and some of the things that people have been critical
Speaker 1: of was won the ball security that was not an
Speaker 1: issue tonight against the team that takes away the ball
Speaker 1: the most in the entire NFL. Eagles really took care
Speaker 1: of that tonight, which was my key to the game.
Speaker 1: And for Miles Sanders, you wanted to see more of
Speaker 1: that north and south, a little bit less of the
Speaker 1: dancing side to side. What did you see from him
Speaker 1: tonight in terms of his progression another game under his
Speaker 1: belt in the league, Well, the first thing that I
Speaker 1: was impressed with is his ability to block out what
Speaker 1: happened in the last game. Right, you know, you have
Speaker 1: a couple fumbles in that game, your confidence maybe shaking
Speaker 1: a little bit. You knew that Jordan Howard was going
Speaker 1: to be part of his game planning night, but I
Speaker 1: loved that Miles Sanders didn't allow that to rout him
Speaker 1: at either. What he did was it accepted the challenges, said,
Speaker 1: when I get my opportunities, I'm gonna make the most
Speaker 1: of them. And I can't remember on any of those
Speaker 1: eleven carries tonight where he didn't get positive yards. So
Speaker 1: and he had a couple of nice explosive plays. They're
Speaker 1: setting the Eagles up in great field position and then
Speaker 1: being able to contribute on special teams as well. I
Speaker 1: talked about his kickoff return when the Eagles first two
Speaker 1: drives stalled and the Packers are up tending to nothing,
Speaker 1: and you're saying to yourself, we must get points on
Speaker 1: this next drive or wearing trouble to have Mouse Sanders
Speaker 1: come out and that kickoff return team, to have that
Speaker 1: big special teams play to set up the first touchdown.
Speaker 1: I thought that was huge for this offense to get
Speaker 1: them going. So kudos to the rookie for being able
Speaker 1: to bounce back from a tough game last week. And listen,
Speaker 1: the coaches said they aren't going to bury him on
Speaker 1: the bench. They still have full confidence in him, but
Speaker 1: they wantn't even know tonight. There is someone behind you
Speaker 1: that will take advantage of the opportunity if you don't.
Speaker 1: And that's nothing wrong with great competition in your room,
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with having a veteran in front of you
Speaker 1: like Jordan Howard sort of to motivate you. So I
Speaker 1: look for big things from Mouse as you move forward.
Speaker 1: Once he gets over the whole ball security thing, you
Speaker 1: see why they drafted him in the second round. There's
Speaker 1: explosiveness a couple times in the open field. I know
Speaker 1: Deuce had talked to him about being able to make
Speaker 1: one of those guys missing the open field. But it
Speaker 1: was a great bouseback game for the young guy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And speaking of Jordan Howard, like we said, he had
Speaker 1: a three touchdown night, which ties a career high for him,
Speaker 1: but also the first running back to record three offensive
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a single game for the Eagles since Lashawn
Speaker 1: McCoy in two and eleven. What did you see from
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard tonight? Two rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown
Speaker 1: getting things going in the passing game as well. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of questions before he came here about
Speaker 1: is he good in the passing game? Howard his hands.
Speaker 1: Since he's been here, I think he's been pretty good
Speaker 1: in the passing game, he really has. I think what
Speaker 1: you saw tonight amy as a guy who's been chopping
Speaker 1: at the bit for his opportunity, right, he's been. He's
Speaker 1: been chopping at the bid to have the coaches trust
Speaker 1: him and give him an opportunity to run downhill. And
Speaker 1: what I'm learning by watching Jordan Howard is is that
Speaker 1: he gets better the more carries you give me. He's
Speaker 1: not somebody, He's not like a Mole Sanders, who's a
Speaker 1: quick flash type of running back. He's a guy that
Speaker 1: once he leans on you after a few carries, he's
Speaker 1: gonna start to wear you down. And that's what you notice.
Speaker 1: And you also don't see a lot of hesitation when
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard goes. When he does hesitate, it doesn't tend
Speaker 1: to end well for him. But when he gets that
Speaker 1: ball and his shoulder pads or square to the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and he can go north and south, he
Speaker 1: can run with the best of him in his league.
Speaker 1: Reminds me of La Garrett Blunt when we had him.
Speaker 1: Not as much of a bruising back as La Garrett
Speaker 1: Born was, but once you get him going north and
Speaker 1: south and he gets behind those shoulder pads, he's tough
Speaker 1: to bring down. I saw a lot of that comparison
Speaker 1: on Twitter throughout this game, the Lag Garrett that you know,
Speaker 1: reminding Eagles fans of La Garrett Blunt. Let me remind
Speaker 1: anybody watching that we are going to be waiting for
Speaker 1: coach Duck Peterson to take the podium. Carson wants to
Speaker 1: take the podium. Here their thoughts in the game, that'll
Speaker 1: be right here. So hang with us as we're waiting
Speaker 1: for those guys. In the meantime, we're going to keep
Speaker 1: breaking it down. Let's go to the defense really really
Speaker 1: put pressure on Aaron Rodgers and we saw, you know,
Speaker 1: there were injuries in the secondary and Aaron Rodgers of
Speaker 1: course able to get things going in the passing game,
Speaker 1: but the front, the front, this Eagles front really was
Speaker 1: able to throw him off his game. One sack, two
Speaker 1: quarterback hits and just really was able to get the
Speaker 1: pressure on him and kind of throw him off as
Speaker 1: he continues to deal and the Eagles just kept coming. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had like a blackout moment today, Amy on my
Speaker 1: show right during the March and re show, and I
Speaker 1: basically challenged the Eagles defensive line to get after Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers tonight. This guy is virtually untouchable. He gets rid
Speaker 1: of the ball so fast. So you're taking credit for
Speaker 1: their success in well, well, the point what the deepest
Speaker 1: of line they need to step up. Let's go the
Speaker 1: deepest of line needed to step up and have an
Speaker 1: impact on this game. You're undermanned on the back end,
Speaker 1: they're even undermanned up front. But the only way you're
Speaker 1: going to affect this packer offense is to get to
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and it's difficult to do. There are defenses
Speaker 1: that scheme they blitched. You got to sort of play
Speaker 1: a chess game with Aaron Rodgers, mixing things up. Love
Speaker 1: the fact they were able to get to him. Didn't
Speaker 1: have a ton of sacks on him, but they moved
Speaker 1: him off of this spot. They made him tuck the ball,
Speaker 1: he had to run a few times. He made some
Speaker 1: plays outside the pocket, but they got hits on him.
Speaker 1: They got a sack of forced fa balling, and they
Speaker 1: were able to get an interception off of him. This
Speaker 1: is a guy who doesn't turn the ball over very often,
Speaker 1: and to get two turnovers off of him, that was
Speaker 1: huge tonight. Yeah, and Aaron Rodgers still able to throw
Speaker 1: for four hundred and twenty two yards in this one,
Speaker 1: and yet the Eagles defense still able to I got
Speaker 1: to correct myself. You may as well say you got
Speaker 1: three turnovers off of him, because if you stop him
Speaker 1: on downs, which they did. They stopped him at the
Speaker 1: goal line, they tried to throw the ball in there.
Speaker 1: They made him turn the ball over. That's as good
Speaker 1: as a turnover to me. When you stop Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: from inside the five yard line and they don't score.
Speaker 1: They were able to do that twice the night, once
Speaker 1: on downs and once by getting an interception to seal
Speaker 1: the game. That's big time. Yeah, I'm curious to see
Speaker 1: how often that happens with Aaron Rodgers I mentioned earlier.
Speaker 1: We gotta see Merle resent my quick Merrill camp tonight
Speaker 1: is gonna be so good. We have it ready for you.
Speaker 1: Take it away, Meryl. It is uned over end. It
Speaker 1: is taken by Sanders. He's coming out at five ten fifteen,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, thirty thirty five forty, but his feet
Speaker 1: had been field forty five forty and all the way
Speaker 1: down to the Packers thirty five. There is a pulse.
Speaker 1: Fell I think they're breathing. Wentz looking looking fires complete touchdown.
Speaker 1: He's got his man out, Sean Jeffrey Rogers goes back.
Speaker 1: He's setting up, he's head. He fumbles the football and
Speaker 1: the Eagles have it. The Eagles have it on top
Speaker 1: of the football. It's Brandon Graham. Brandon Graham came up
Speaker 1: with the football. They stripped Aaron Rodgers, Eric Burnett, Merrill
Speaker 1: coming off the edge. He's so quick off the football.
Speaker 1: He wins with speed on the edge and gets the
Speaker 1: football out. Aaron Rodgers didn't even get time to cock
Speaker 1: his arm and as you said, Brandon Graham coming up
Speaker 1: with the record. That is the reverse of the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl where Graham stripped Tom Brady and it was born in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Wentz and the gun again, Howard to his right. Wentz
Speaker 1: goes to Howard. He's heading for the touchdown and made
Speaker 1: it look easy. He went and standing up. That's where
Speaker 1: you want to go with the football. You get down close,
Speaker 1: there's no sense being fancy. Hit him in the mouth
Speaker 1: going to the end zone for the touchdown. In his
Speaker 1: second and two, Wentz and the gun again. He swings
Speaker 1: it out to Howard at the fifteen ten five touchdown.
Speaker 1: Nobody on the other side with Jordan Howard and he
Speaker 1: ran untouched into the end zone. What a great play call.
Speaker 1: Kim goes to Sanders off the left, Sidett forty five midfield,
Speaker 1: cuts back, takes us in the forty five yard line.
Speaker 1: That is what you have and biles Sanders. Wentz gives
Speaker 1: the high Howard spends He's in touchdown. Eagles for game
Speaker 1: the lead. Who's strong. He was hit at the one
Speaker 1: and they couldn't contain him. He just muscled his way
Speaker 1: past Tyler Lancaster into the end zone. Too strong, get
Speaker 1: your weight up, fourth and goal. Roger's back, he's looking,
Speaker 1: he's being chased, he's directing traffic. He finally fires it
Speaker 1: and it tain't complete. Graham couldn't bring it in, and
Speaker 1: what a goal line stand. The Eagles take over. Rundowns
Speaker 1: Roger's back, He pumps, he fires and is intercepted. On
Speaker 1: the deflection intercepted, Eagles have the ball. Nigel Brandham out
Speaker 1: across the twenty and this game is as good as over.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it does not get better. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to watch that fifteen more times. Brand
Speaker 1: Juffy joined in us here on the postgame show presented
Speaker 1: by Rico Frand. A lot to unpack here. Initial thoughts
Speaker 1: before we get into some of the details here. I mean, guys,
Speaker 1: just an unbelievable Eagle win, right, I mean, you have
Speaker 1: so much going on on all three sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: You have the big kick return to kind of get
Speaker 1: things going for the Eagles offense, big plays on defense,
Speaker 1: a number of big stops like you talked about it
Speaker 1: turnovers on downs, Ben, but don't break defense. You don't
Speaker 1: allow them to have a lot of success in the
Speaker 1: red zone. And then offensively, I mean this run game,
Speaker 1: the twelve personnel sets the way that the Eagles were
Speaker 1: able to attack this Green Bay defense, which has been
Speaker 1: so stout through the first three games. To me, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know where to start with this breakdown. I
Speaker 1: cannot wait to dive from the film to well, I
Speaker 1: think that you might. You start with twelve personnel probably
Speaker 1: your favorite thing. I think if we're gonna do like
Speaker 1: a bingo on this show, we're gonna make like twelve
Speaker 1: personnel is going to be like one of our one
Speaker 1: of our things. But that we saw a lot of
Speaker 1: that tonight and not do and you talk about how
Speaker 1: valuable that is for the Eagles. But I think one
Speaker 1: thing that stood out to me was how we saw
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz's production go up this week from last week.
Speaker 1: Because you have Dallas Goddard on the field, Alashan Jeffrey
Speaker 1: on the field, he has less attention from that defense.
Speaker 1: What did you see that you really want to break
Speaker 1: down in the film this week? Yeah, I mean the
Speaker 1: way that they were able to get Dallas Goddard in
Speaker 1: CORPD not just in the run game, but then also
Speaker 1: in the passing game. I mean some of the things
Speaker 1: they're able to do to kind of free up zach Ertz.
Speaker 1: Alshon Jefferies presence certainly helped that. When you go back
Speaker 1: and look at the film last week, Detroit did a
Speaker 1: lot to try and take away zach Ertz, a lot
Speaker 1: of double teams in the middle of the field, bracketing
Speaker 1: him with safeties and with linebackers doing lots of things
Speaker 1: to take him out of the progression. For Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: Now you add in Alshan, you add in Dallas got
Speaker 1: you get to Sean bat Sean Jackson back. Now we're
Speaker 1: cooking with gass here for an Eagles offense. The officsive line, right,
Speaker 1: you know, they certainly did a great job tonight. Just
Speaker 1: talk about Isaac sam sam Malo, the way he bounced back.
Speaker 1: He's been under a low scrutiny for his blocking. I
Speaker 1: thought they carried over what they were able to do
Speaker 1: against Detroit into this game. But the offensive line really
Speaker 1: controlled the line of scrimmage to night. Well, like you know,
Speaker 1: I mean that offensive line they thrive on those four
Speaker 1: minute drills right. Everyone knows what the two minute drill is,
Speaker 1: and you know you're trying to run the hurry up offense.
Speaker 1: Let's try and score a touchdown getting to the end zone.
Speaker 1: Four minute drill, you're doing the opposite. You're trying to
Speaker 1: bleed the clock down, run as much time off the
Speaker 1: clock as possible, and you're gonna need to run the
Speaker 1: football when the When the Eagles needed to run the ball,
Speaker 1: green Bay could not do anything to stop them. And
Speaker 1: that's a credit the offensive line. You saw great double
Speaker 1: teams at the point of attack, Sayamalu, Kelsey Brooks, Peter's lane,
Speaker 1: the tight ends were involved. It was a full team effort.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to dive into the film. The fact
Speaker 1: that the Eagles were able to just run it down
Speaker 1: their throat against the green Bay defense. We have not
Speaker 1: seen them. Let this happened this season that we talked
Speaker 1: about it in the pregame show. Their defense has been
Speaker 1: what has won their games for them this year. A
Speaker 1: different type of green Bay team. The Eagles able to
Speaker 1: run it down their throat, rely on the run game,
Speaker 1: use that to open things up and control the clock.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do our plays of the game. Who
Speaker 1: wants to go first. I'll to me it's the Derek
Speaker 1: Barnett sack fumble, right when we've waited so long for
Speaker 1: a sack from this Eagles defense. It couldn't have come
Speaker 1: at a more opportune time. And they come through not
Speaker 1: just with a sack of Aaron Rodgers, but also get
Speaker 1: the ball on the ground. Huge play gets the Eagles
Speaker 1: back in the game, allows them great field position to
Speaker 1: score a touchdown and go ahead. To me, that's the
Speaker 1: biggest player of the game. It really helps kind of
Speaker 1: turn the tide in the Eagle's favor permanently. And for me,
Speaker 1: it's not just one play, is two series. The two
Speaker 1: goal line stands. The first goal line stand in order
Speaker 1: to keep the Packers out of the end zone when
Speaker 1: they're only up by a touchdown, gave the Eagles the
Speaker 1: ball back, allowed them to choose some more time up
Speaker 1: off that clock, change the field position over. So I
Speaker 1: love the fact that they got that first goal line
Speaker 1: stand and then the second goal line stand. My goodness
Speaker 1: to be able to go down there with the game
Speaker 1: on the line to get that ball knocked up in
Speaker 1: the air and didn't have a linebacker. My boy, Nigel Bradham,
Speaker 1: who dropped one a little bit earlier, could have had
Speaker 1: one earlier. He's a linebacker's defense and you rarely get
Speaker 1: a second opportunity to make a big play like that.
Speaker 1: So great job of Nigel being able to take advantage
Speaker 1: of that second opportunity to seal the game. UM, get
Speaker 1: down a little. I think you catch the ball, but
Speaker 1: I love the fact that the linebacker one, they would
Speaker 1: get it two great defensive goal line stands for a
Speaker 1: defense that's severely undermanned and they're looking from help from
Speaker 1: anybody they can get it from on that side of
Speaker 1: the football. To come up with those two stands against
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in that offense. Wow, yeah, yeah for me,
Speaker 1: a friend, great minds thinking like on this one, because
Speaker 1: that was my That was my play of the game,
Speaker 1: because not only did it take the ball away from
Speaker 1: green Bay, but it's set up that Eagle's touchdown there
Speaker 1: with Jordan Howard going into the half to put them
Speaker 1: up for the first time in the game. So just
Speaker 1: a massive momentum change. Not only do you take one
Speaker 1: away from the from green Bay, but you get it
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, and UM, let's talk about Derek Barnett
Speaker 1: while we're at it here, Um, he all over the place,
Speaker 1: you know, some not so smart moves and then yet
Speaker 1: some incredible game changing place from him. He really, to me,
Speaker 1: showed up more tonight than maybe we had seen him
Speaker 1: so far this season. I remember, this is a guy
Speaker 1: that basically is in his second season, right because so
Speaker 1: much of his sophomore year was cut off. Last year
Speaker 1: was his first year as a starter, so a role
Speaker 1: player as a rookie, but in a Super Bowl run,
Speaker 1: made some big plays, regular season, playoffs, super Bowl for
Speaker 1: this team, and then comes back as a starter his
Speaker 1: second year, gets hurt and now comes back and you
Speaker 1: just see a more developed pass rusher. I know that
Speaker 1: the sacks weren't there over the first three weeks, but
Speaker 1: he's able to win in a number of different ways.
Speaker 1: He's always gonna play with a great motor, He's always
Speaker 1: gonna be able to defend the run. But the way
Speaker 1: that he was able to show up on film in
Speaker 1: different ways, I know the production was not there over
Speaker 1: the first three weeks, but what he did tonight I
Speaker 1: can't I can't wait to dive into the film tomorrow
Speaker 1: and really kind of hone in on what he did
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher. Yeah, the production may not be
Speaker 1: there to the neked eye when you look at the
Speaker 1: stat sheet for the early party to see them, but
Speaker 1: you know he has been around the quarterback. He does
Speaker 1: have the quarterback Hurry's is great to see him get
Speaker 1: the payall tonight and finally get the sack and get
Speaker 1: a strip fumble. That's awesome. My thing with Derek has
Speaker 1: always been availability. You know, the talent is there, you
Speaker 1: know it's any and when he's out there on the field,
Speaker 1: he typically can be an impactful player out there. We
Speaker 1: just got to keep him healthy for sixteen games, and
Speaker 1: with this defensive line being underman and not having the
Speaker 1: depth that they're accustomed to, you're gonna need all the healthy,
Speaker 1: good players that you can have. And number ninety six,
Speaker 1: if he can continue to play like this, I expect
Speaker 1: to see more production from him as the season goes along.
Speaker 1: As France said, he's basically in his second year and
Speaker 1: what that means is he's still learning how to play
Speaker 1: defensive end from a technical standpoint, right, we know, we
Speaker 1: know he has the speed, the bending other ankles to
Speaker 1: get around the corner. Now he has to learn the
Speaker 1: counter moves bringing in the power using those hands, because
Speaker 1: the more you go up against those left tackles, you're
Speaker 1: going up against some of the best guys in this league,
Speaker 1: and you can't just beat them with speed. You're gonna
Speaker 1: need other things. It's in the toolbox. He just has
Speaker 1: to have the ability to bring it. Are ready to
Speaker 1: hear from coach time. I do have a statement on
Speaker 1: a Vonte Maddox. Uh, he has movement in all extremities.
Speaker 1: We're happy to hear that. For precautionary reasons. He's been
Speaker 1: sent to the hospital for further evaluation. And now we
Speaker 1: can hear from a little bit more from the head
Speaker 1: coach one mad Yeah, we just we released a statement
Speaker 1: here earlier tonight. Um, he has movement in all his
Speaker 1: extremities and he's being checked for precautionary reasons. Right now,
Speaker 1: Do you feel good about feel good about where he's at? No? Reasonable? Yeah, again,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna check him out, make sure everything's good.
Speaker 1: But he was coherent coming off the field and it
Speaker 1: should be fine. That was the biggest part of the
Speaker 1: game for the defense and they have to go back
Speaker 1: out there and save the game. How difficult is that?
Speaker 1: And Craig I think were those his first couple of
Speaker 1: snaps of the game there on defense. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I actually believe his first couple of snaps were in Atlanta. Um,
Speaker 1: I know, but he played in Atlanta and then he
Speaker 1: had tonight. Um he had to go in and that
Speaker 1: in that situation. So, UM, it's it's it's uh when
Speaker 1: the game, when the game is on the line and
Speaker 1: the game is stopped, you know, for for an injury
Speaker 1: like that for a lengthy period of time. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough situation, especially you know defensively
Speaker 1: where we were on the field around the seven eight
Speaker 1: yard line, So credit the defense man. It's I was
Speaker 1: twice down there. Um I think we held him three
Speaker 1: to seven. I think in the red zone tonight, and
Speaker 1: and uh, anytime you can keep you know, an Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers team out of the end zone. Um, it's a
Speaker 1: positive thing. There's got to be so many thoughts going
Speaker 1: through your mind. The injury one of your players obviously
Speaker 1: looked like it could be serious. Now you got to
Speaker 1: get ready to stop. Then you got to think, I
Speaker 1: would think that there could be impossible overtime. What are
Speaker 1: all the thoughts to go through your head? Well, all
Speaker 1: this is going on. I mean you said it, um,
Speaker 1: all those things because one I had that was my
Speaker 1: last time out. UM, so I was the first thing.
Speaker 1: And then uh just uh, you know, hoping we could
Speaker 1: at least get the stop. UM you knew, you knew
Speaker 1: they were going forward on all four downs obviously, UM.
Speaker 1: And then and then preparing, if you know, preparing for
Speaker 1: them to go for two, possibly go for two to win,
Speaker 1: you know, in that situation as well, So you got
Speaker 1: to prepare for that. And then obviously getting ready for overtime.
Speaker 1: So UM, gosh, defense stepped up when they needed to tonight, UM,
Speaker 1: and UM made and made some place. Team fought. You know,
Speaker 1: guys coming up a real tough loss, coming here a
Speaker 1: short week and a really tough place to play against
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and that team, especially their defense. Can you
Speaker 1: just talk about how proud you are this team. UM.
Speaker 1: I love those guys in the locker room. You know
Speaker 1: the way they've you know, they've battled through adversity already
Speaker 1: early in the season. First, you know, these last two
Speaker 1: games last two weeks, having to come on the road
Speaker 1: Thursday night, team that's undefeated, playing extremely well at home. UM,
Speaker 1: and to do what we did. Hopefully it gives us momentum.
Speaker 1: You know, it gives us a little shot in the arm.
Speaker 1: Now we get some time off to get these guys
Speaker 1: healthy and and uh we got a home game coming up.
Speaker 1: But couldn't be more proud of the guys the locker
Speaker 1: room for for playing for a full sixty minutes. We
Speaker 1: talked about that this week, and uh, um very proud
Speaker 1: of the Gas running game twenty and having Dallas Goddard
Speaker 1: back and fully engaged in the game playing. How vital
Speaker 1: for your packages down there in the region and all
Speaker 1: you're trying to do. Yeah, I mean it's h it
Speaker 1: gives us a little more versatility. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: credit the offensive line, the run game, you know, Jordan Howard,
Speaker 1: you know, pounding the ball there too and getting some
Speaker 1: positive runs and then and then having al Sean and
Speaker 1: Dallas back in the lineup. Really, um just just opened
Speaker 1: up a lot of things for us. And um, you know,
Speaker 1: as we know, it all starts up front. But Carson
Speaker 1: did a great job tonight. I believe there was no sacks, uh,
Speaker 1: you know tonight, and and um just happy for the
Speaker 1: Gas again. I just think it just starts with the
Speaker 1: offensive line. You know, it's it's nothing that we you know,
Speaker 1: it's the run game. You're not gonna reinvent the wheel.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's five guys blocking four and tonight
Speaker 1: five guys on defense. And this is a good, good front,
Speaker 1: really good front. And uh, Um, a lot of our
Speaker 1: combination blocks had some success that the you know, Jordan
Speaker 1: ed Miles both had some they ran with great vision tonight,
Speaker 1: uh saw some cuts coming out the backside. Um. But
Speaker 1: we were able to sustain those blocks and get momentum,
Speaker 1: and we were positive and and we talked about that
Speaker 1: on first down, staying positive because that was an area
Speaker 1: of of sort of weakness of our offense was first
Speaker 1: down and being a little more positive there. So great
Speaker 1: job there. Your defense took four fifteen YEARID penalties and
Speaker 1: three of them lent to scores by the Packers. Did
Speaker 1: you address that at any point during the game? Do
Speaker 1: you need to address going forward? They were all, I'll
Speaker 1: addressed it moving forward. It's hard to address it during
Speaker 1: the game. Um, with the game moving total first downs,
Speaker 1: I mean that's a lot. And Um, we have to
Speaker 1: be smarter. We gotta play smarter, We gotta play within ourself. Um.
Speaker 1: And just gotta get better there. Your offense was able
Speaker 1: to respond to them, scoring off your defensive miscuse and you,
Speaker 1: for example, you called a touchdown pass per a guy
Speaker 1: who hasn't had a touchdown pass since he's a rookie,
Speaker 1: and you're in, Jordan Howard, you pulled Zach Ertz off
Speaker 1: on a critical first down call and he want all
Speaker 1: that happy about it? How do you think you did tonight?
Speaker 1: And doesn't mean more for you doing it? Doing it here?
Speaker 1: What we won won the game? I mean, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen. I can't. I can't. I can't sit
Speaker 1: there and go. I need Zach here and need Dallas there.
Speaker 1: I need it. We're going with the guy, and our
Speaker 1: our game plan coming in was to play fast. We
Speaker 1: wanted to play fast. We've done it the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks and it didn't matter who was on the field.
Speaker 1: We were going to continue to do that. And um,
Speaker 1: Jordan just happened to be on the receiving end of
Speaker 1: the one. That's He's not necessarily the primary guy on
Speaker 1: that thing. It just happened that we got the right coverage,
Speaker 1: we got the look we wanted, and well, I went
Speaker 1: there and you got the touchdown. So um, bottom line
Speaker 1: is find a way to win, and we did on Thursdays.
Speaker 1: Why are you so good on Thursday? I just credit
Speaker 1: the players. I credit the players for how well they
Speaker 1: prepared during the week. Um. You know, I do my
Speaker 1: part by trying to give them as fresh as I
Speaker 1: can and healthy as I can through practice during the
Speaker 1: week and spend more time getting mental reps. But you
Speaker 1: know these guys really, um take it upon themselves to
Speaker 1: prepare and be ready on Thursday night. Version. Um, we've
Speaker 1: been here before where you're up seven, you can go
Speaker 1: forward to you didn't like the decision, did you No?
Speaker 1: Well did I link decision? Yeah? Yeah, okay, then don't
Speaker 1: ask the question. Well, I'm just curious that there's a
Speaker 1: I know obviously to go up to the reason you
Speaker 1: want to go to want bottom? No? No, no, go
Speaker 1: up to yeah, bring based fine drive there they had
Speaker 1: catch on the first down was when Fletcher went down. Um,
Speaker 1: it seemed like you were debating whether or not to
Speaker 1: flop throw the challenge flag. Look like I was. I
Speaker 1: was communicating with our guys upstairs to see if that
Speaker 1: was a catch. I couldn't see it on the field.
Speaker 1: From where I was, UM, and I was talking to
Speaker 1: the official. They were helping me, giving me all the information.
Speaker 1: They thought it was a catch who was borderline. I
Speaker 1: didn't want to risk a challenge because I've just done
Speaker 1: it earlier on what we thought was a possible DPI. UM,
Speaker 1: So I didn't want to risk the challenge. Having God
Speaker 1: heard back helps with the run game helps a lot. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, our two tight end package tonight, uh was
Speaker 1: was was pretty pretty pretty good. Um. Dallas is really
Speaker 1: um in his second year. He's strong, he's physical, he
Speaker 1: does a nice job for us, and he's he's a
Speaker 1: good change of pace tight end to be able to
Speaker 1: block at the point of attack and or on the
Speaker 1: backside as well. And I thought both tight I thought
Speaker 1: Exacted did some nice things too in the run game.
Speaker 1: All right, okay, coach crediting the players for their execution
Speaker 1: and their mental focus on a short week. He's now
Speaker 1: four though, on Thursday Night football. I mean, how much
Speaker 1: believe I think foreign now since he's been here tonight. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know a lot to have
Speaker 1: somebody looked at me. I may have been all all
Speaker 1: night the one. It may be that the opening up
Speaker 1: last year on Thursday night wouldn't be considered a short
Speaker 1: week since it was the first game of the season,
Speaker 1: a lot of time to prepare. Um. What do you
Speaker 1: think the secret sauces to that for him? Well, I
Speaker 1: think it's how he handles the players. I think the
Speaker 1: way he handled last week's practice, where some people tried
Speaker 1: to criticize him after the loss to Detroit saying, what
Speaker 1: they didn't practice last Wednesday and that's why they should
Speaker 1: have practiced. No, his reasoning for not practicing last Wednesday
Speaker 1: also played into this week's game. He said that last
Speaker 1: week that they had two games in eight days and
Speaker 1: he's trying to manage both games. That's difficult to do
Speaker 1: for a coach when you know that you want to
Speaker 1: get the first win taken care of. And so what
Speaker 1: he was doing last week and taking care of his
Speaker 1: guys including this week, was to so that they would
Speaker 1: be fresh for tonight's game. And I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: they look more fresh in any of the three previous
Speaker 1: games with a full week arrest than they did tonight.
Speaker 1: That offensive line looked fresh and looked like they wanted
Speaker 1: to pound on guys. The running game look good. We
Speaker 1: threw when we needed to throw the football. I didn't
Speaker 1: think the defense looked worn down. They started losing players.
Speaker 1: That may have contributed to some things out there, but
Speaker 1: as far as the team looking strong in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: the Eagles looked like the stronger team of the two.
Speaker 1: They didn't wilt, they didn't wear down. So I think
Speaker 1: Doug has sort of a formula that he likes to
Speaker 1: go to that's going to give him a chance to
Speaker 1: give his team the best chance to be at their best.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't necessarily mean he's gonna always win on
Speaker 1: these short weeks, but at least it gives his players
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go into the game fresh, and they
Speaker 1: were able to do that tonight. And you talk about
Speaker 1: the play calling really creative. Really, I think he was
Speaker 1: able to open it up because there was a lot
Speaker 1: of that person out there, but a lot of really
Speaker 1: great calls to anything specifically stand out to you with
Speaker 1: that or throwing the ball to Jordan Howard out of
Speaker 1: the backfield, I think that shocks everybody, including the Packers defense.
Speaker 1: They don't particularly expect that. When Jordan comes in the game,
Speaker 1: it almost tell you that it's going to be a
Speaker 1: run so the fact that they recognized that tendency from
Speaker 1: their first three games and decided to throw the ball
Speaker 1: with Jordan Howard out there, I thought that was a
Speaker 1: difference wrinkle. And I saw more screens tonight. I've been
Speaker 1: wondering where is the screen game They ran screens, whether
Speaker 1: it be to Jordan Howard or whether it be the
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard to pick up a key first down in
Speaker 1: the red zone where they ran a tight end screen.
Speaker 1: So my recollection is they ran at least three screens tonight,
Speaker 1: and so I wanted to see that get put back
Speaker 1: into the game plan because when you're going against a
Speaker 1: defense like the Packers that's fast flowing and that lives
Speaker 1: in the opposing teams backfield, you want to kind of
Speaker 1: use that speed against them, let them rush up the field,
Speaker 1: and then dump that screen off to him. I thought
Speaker 1: we we incorporated that into the game playing tonight. So
Speaker 1: that was nice to see. So really, it really looked
Speaker 1: to me like this team put it all together on
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. How much of that do
Speaker 1: you attribute to healthy personnel coming back obviously not one
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy, but some guys coming back versus this
Speaker 1: is game four. Is this just we now we're through
Speaker 1: the actual preseason and now this is the real regular
Speaker 1: season because the preseason has evolved the way that it has.
Speaker 1: That is a great point you bring up, Amy, and
Speaker 1: I think that is a factor at it. Obviously, getting
Speaker 1: players bag helps as well, but it's the reason why
Speaker 1: I felt this game wouldn't be a low scoring game.
Speaker 1: It's the fourth game for both teams starting to get
Speaker 1: into a rhythm. The Eagles showed a little bit of
Speaker 1: that Sunday, so I thought they would have some success offensively.
Speaker 1: I do believe that's part of it. But I also
Speaker 1: believe having a guy like al Sean and Dallas Goddard
Speaker 1: in a full game plan, as opposed to just nine
Speaker 1: plays for Dallas Godars Sunday, he was able to be
Speaker 1: out there for a full complimentary of plays. They were
Speaker 1: able to run the ball and throw it to him.
Speaker 1: We know that this is a talented team, right they did.
Speaker 1: They accomplished one of the two things I wanted them
Speaker 1: to do tonight, take care of the football and minimize
Speaker 1: the penalties. Well, we know which one they were able
Speaker 1: to do tonight, and we know which one they struggled
Speaker 1: at tonight and that hurt them at times, that extended
Speaker 1: drive for the Packers. That's been the biggest achilles heel
Speaker 1: for the Eagles in their two losses is the self
Speaker 1: inflicted wounds, the penalties that the timely penalties that hurt them,
Speaker 1: that extend drives or kills their drives, or the turnovers.
Speaker 1: No turnovers tonight didn't give the Packers any extra possessions.
Speaker 1: But because the costly penalties some you know these these
Speaker 1: I guess roughing plays. So how good is this team
Speaker 1: going to be? If they can get those things cleaned up?
Speaker 1: This would have been a much different more one a
Speaker 1: very good team. And I hate to play the what
Speaker 1: if game because you are what your record says you are.
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is in the two losses, they
Speaker 1: had five turnovers, I believe, and they had nine drop
Speaker 1: passes and countless penonties that hurt them. And tonight they
Speaker 1: were able to minimize those. They got to clean up
Speaker 1: the penalties. You have to clean up the penonties. I
Speaker 1: don't mind aggressive play, I don't mind playing physical as
Speaker 1: a defense, we minimize those penonies on offense, but too
Speaker 1: many costly penalties on defense that kept that Packers offense
Speaker 1: on the field that we were able to get out
Speaker 1: of harm's way with a victory tonight. If they can
Speaker 1: clean net up, this is one of the best football
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, just like everybody predicted they would be.
Speaker 1: They got to get their guys back on the field healthy.
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson, he's gonna be a big plus when he
Speaker 1: comes back, and they have to show up the defense, right,
Speaker 1: we all know what the issue is. You lost two
Speaker 1: more bodies tonight and Avanta Maddox and Sydney Jones. The
Speaker 1: secondary is depleted. They need help, whether there's Jalen Mills,
Speaker 1: whether coming back as soon as possible, Craive Vola Bloc,
Speaker 1: we know that Ron Darby's gonna be out for a
Speaker 1: few weeks, or you look to the outside for help.
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is they're coming up on a
Speaker 1: rough part of the schedule. They're gonna have three road
Speaker 1: games coming up here after they play the Jets in
Speaker 1: ten days, and then after you come off the three
Speaker 1: game road trip, you got the Bears and then you
Speaker 1: got to play New England in Seattle. So this is
Speaker 1: the most difficult part of the schedule over the next
Speaker 1: six seven weeks, and the Eagles are gonna have to
Speaker 1: be able to keep their heads above water until they
Speaker 1: get to the back portion of their schedule. And man,
Speaker 1: you can't keep losing bodies. It's hard when you get
Speaker 1: down to your fourth, fifth, and sixth defensive backs. I mean,
Speaker 1: Craig James was out there like, what defense are we running? Right? Well,
Speaker 1: it's something we saw last year and that ended up
Speaker 1: being a benefit to this team by the end of
Speaker 1: the year and carrying over to this year. But if
Speaker 1: they were fortunate to get in last very fortunate, and
Speaker 1: of course, speaking a defensive back who did come back
Speaker 1: from injury this year, Rodney McCloud Hewett one on one
Speaker 1: with David Spenero after this win, let's let's see that interview,
Speaker 1: all right, Rodney, take us through that last sequence there. Man,
Speaker 1: it's a battle to the end. Man, we don't stop,
Speaker 1: We don't quit, you know what I'm saying. Nigel makes
Speaker 1: a crazy play, but MOSTI poortly. Man Crag comes in
Speaker 1: off the bench, next man up, it comes in. Man
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't blink. Makes a great play. Nidge. Then for
Speaker 1: the finish ball game, how big is this win for
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Man's huge? Man like, we've been trying
Speaker 1: to find a way to win these games coming down
Speaker 1: the stretch like this, and today we got it. Man,
Speaker 1: We just we just stayed together. That's the most important thing.
Speaker 1: Everybody counted us out. We stay together. We bleed in ourselves.
Speaker 1: A lot of smiling Eagles out there on that lambeau
Speaker 1: Field of Rodney McLoud leads the team and tackles in
Speaker 1: this one with that, that's not good. No, no, actually
Speaker 1: night combined U and six six solo. What did you
Speaker 1: Mary Year? You don't. You don't typically want the safety
Speaker 1: leading your safety, and he's the free safety, not Malcolm
Speaker 1: A different story. Yes, it's great that he was able
Speaker 1: to make tackles. Again, they're they're undermanned. They're out there
Speaker 1: playing with all types of duct tape and glue and
Speaker 1: holding on as best as they can. So this is
Speaker 1: one of those victories where you had to gut it
Speaker 1: out and do whatever that was needed. Jonathan sipper and
Speaker 1: had to be out there probably more than he expected tonight.
Speaker 1: They got a few days off here before they had
Speaker 1: to take on the New York Jets, and like I said,
Speaker 1: hope days off, well, you got to come back next
Speaker 1: week to get ready for the Jets actual weekend. Sure,
Speaker 1: sure you do, you do. So they got a few
Speaker 1: days off and to get healthy and m and that's
Speaker 1: what they're gonna need. They're gonna need all the healthy,
Speaker 1: healthy bodies that they can get because this is a
Speaker 1: passing league. And as we've seen through the first four
Speaker 1: games our secondary, we've given up yardage in the passing
Speaker 1: game in the first four games. I mean, Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: threw four over four hundred yards tonight and so we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to shore that up. So it's it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be all hands on deck here coming up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Fletcher Cox. He limped off the field
Speaker 1: for a minute, came back on the field. He always
Speaker 1: comes back even when he gets hurt, Like there's something
Speaker 1: about him is just next level human being where he
Speaker 1: can stay in even when he's dealing with stuff. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know, took another step forward in his game. Um,
Speaker 1: something that I think it was Mike Meryl or Mike
Speaker 1: they both have picked him different weeks as their player
Speaker 1: to watch pregame. But looking to see that from him
Speaker 1: taking another step forward as he recovers from that injury
Speaker 1: and especially with the depth that defensive tackle absolutely critical
Speaker 1: to have him out there. What did you see from
Speaker 1: him tonight? And as he continues to kind of get
Speaker 1: his legs under him, probably Fletcher's best game. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought he flashed a lot tonight. Uh collapsed the middle
Speaker 1: of that pocket. And when he does that, and when
Speaker 1: he forces Aaron Rodgers to go out to his right
Speaker 1: or to his left, there has to be a defensive
Speaker 1: end there. That's Fletcher's job is to collapse that middle
Speaker 1: of the pocket and flush Aaron Rodgers out to his buddies.
Speaker 1: So I noticed ninety one in the backfield a lot
Speaker 1: chasing down Aaron Rodgers almost to the point where he
Speaker 1: was exhausted at times when he went out, I was
Speaker 1: a little concerned. It was great to see him come
Speaker 1: back in. That's the true testament of a warrior and
Speaker 1: a leader who's not going to leave his brothers out
Speaker 1: there shorthand it fought to get back on the field
Speaker 1: when you know he's not one. But I thought he
Speaker 1: showed up in my in my view of watching the
Speaker 1: defensive line pass rush tonight, and there were several times
Speaker 1: where Aaron Rodgers had to take off or escape that pocket,
Speaker 1: and a lot of it was due to the middle
Speaker 1: of that offensive line collapsing and Big ninety one being
Speaker 1: the reason for it. Yeah. Absolutely, it was great to
Speaker 1: see him really take another step forward and kind of
Speaker 1: see that that just like that dominant forcement side that
Speaker 1: we're so used to seeing from Fletcher historically and why
Speaker 1: he's one of the best in league. Another thing that
Speaker 1: stood out to me in this one the field position game.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Cameron Johnson. How big of a difference
Speaker 1: did he make in this one to set the Eagles
Speaker 1: up for success every time and to have Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: pretty much had to go the entire field every single
Speaker 1: time he had the ball. Yeah, it's it's early in
Speaker 1: the season, but I think Cameron Johnson is punted at
Speaker 1: a pro Bowl level. I really do. I mean, his
Speaker 1: ball placement at the distance he's gotten on these punts
Speaker 1: has really gone unnoticed. And that's a good thing for
Speaker 1: him because we typically only notice putners and kickers when
Speaker 1: something bad happens. So you're right, Cam Johnson has been
Speaker 1: doing a nice job of at least penning the opposing
Speaker 1: team's offense deep in their territory. And I can't leave
Speaker 1: out the kickoff return again. That mouse Sanders was able
Speaker 1: to have with that unit out there, setting up the
Speaker 1: first touchdown of the game. I know Dave Fipp has
Speaker 1: to feel good about that at there. What happened this
Speaker 1: past week against the Lions giving up their kickoff return,
Speaker 1: it was great to see his unit be able to contribute,
Speaker 1: give his offense a short field as well as force
Speaker 1: the opposing team's offense to go a long way with
Speaker 1: the defense. Let's go back to some of the things
Speaker 1: that coach Peterson said. A lot going on at the
Speaker 1: end of the game, A lot going through his mind.
Speaker 1: You have a Vonte Maddox going down, You have the
Speaker 1: Packers trying to score, the clock is winding down. Is
Speaker 1: it going to be overtime? Are they going to go
Speaker 1: for two? So many things going through his mind. How
Speaker 1: tense cannot be for a player at the end of
Speaker 1: the game, especially with the emotional component of senior teammate
Speaker 1: go down and then knowing, okay, they've had the offense
Speaker 1: has had a lot of time to kind of get
Speaker 1: their their ducks in a row, and now we have
Speaker 1: to stop Aaron Rodgers with the clock winding down. What
Speaker 1: is the emotion like in a moment like that. Well.
Speaker 1: The good thing is is that I think it took
Speaker 1: wrong enough that they were able to have time to
Speaker 1: have thief for their their falling teammate, who's down there
Speaker 1: on the field. I've been a part of that. We
Speaker 1: lost Corey Deptmer on a Monday night out in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: and really as a team, he sort of had the
Speaker 1: same reaction where you see all the players come from
Speaker 1: the sideline and you're really over there taking a knee,
Speaker 1: praying that the guy gets up, Praying that you see
Speaker 1: some of his either his legs or his arms moving,
Speaker 1: so that you know that paralysis is not a part
Speaker 1: of the scenario, at least at that point. It took
Speaker 1: an extended period of time, So I think the Eagles
Speaker 1: as a defense that was a long drive. They were
Speaker 1: sort of on their heels. It was kind of beneficial
Speaker 1: for the Eagles that they had time to sort of regroup,
Speaker 1: catch their breath and then say, okay, let's come up
Speaker 1: with our best defense is here and lock in. Another
Speaker 1: good thing for them DeVante Adams not being on the
Speaker 1: field right so we know how much of a problem
Speaker 1: he had been and it gives Jim Schwartz time over
Speaker 1: there to go through a different a couple of different
Speaker 1: scenarios that he could sort of play on his head
Speaker 1: and figure out what type of defense he wants to
Speaker 1: run there. So I think in that situation, as unfortunate
Speaker 1: as it was, that advantage down in that situation, I
Speaker 1: think the Eagles may have benefited from it because he
Speaker 1: gave them time to collect their thoughts, right, He gave
Speaker 1: them time to collect their thoughts. And the Packers, for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, they only ran the ball once there and
Speaker 1: then they decided they wanted to throw in tight windows.
Speaker 1: Great defensive call where you don't send extra guys. The
Speaker 1: defense had seven men dropping out and coverage, so the
Speaker 1: passing lanes are tight. All you have to do is
Speaker 1: get your hand on the ball, get a deflection there,
Speaker 1: and make sure one of your guys is there to
Speaker 1: catch that deflection. And it worked out perfectly. Did you
Speaker 1: find it strange that they didn't elect to run in
Speaker 1: those situations? I did. I did. And you don't know
Speaker 1: what players called there, whether it's a check with me
Speaker 1: or some type of RPO where it's a run pass option.
Speaker 1: They ran on the first down because I felt they
Speaker 1: didn't want to give the Eagles the ball back too soon.
Speaker 1: But then they just side and they wanted to throw
Speaker 1: the ball, And again, you don't know if that's Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers deciding he's seeing something so he's going to throw
Speaker 1: a quick pass there as opposed to giving the ball
Speaker 1: to Aaron Jones. But yeah, I know as a fan,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, just run the ball. You're only what three
Speaker 1: four yard line wherever you are, at least run the ball.
Speaker 1: You have your time out, so that allows you to
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball and get it in
Speaker 1: the end zone there as opposed to trying to fit
Speaker 1: it into a tight window. I'll tell you what this
Speaker 1: is where that disconnection may be between quarterback and head coach.
Speaker 1: Is that a scenario there where the quarterback is saying,
Speaker 1: I want to be the reason that we get this
Speaker 1: ball in the end zone as opposed to handing it off.
Speaker 1: Glad we don't have to worry about discussing it with
Speaker 1: our team, and I'll be discussing it in Green Bay. Though.
Speaker 1: It is something that you know has been a theme
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers throughout his career, and you know this
Speaker 1: quarterback coach relationship, this Matt Laflour coming in there is
Speaker 1: supposed to be Aaron Sky and they've really seemed too
Speaker 1: Joel really well, but are still kind of figuring each
Speaker 1: other out. And so maybe you saw some of that
Speaker 1: today that really it's been the defense that's won the
Speaker 1: games for them as the offense continues to kind of
Speaker 1: figure it out. But you're always in the game with
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, even if there's five seconds on the clock,
Speaker 1: he tends to make magic happens. So I think, really
Speaker 1: we talked about the Eagles bend, don't break is what
Speaker 1: Franz said. You said they don't will to be able
Speaker 1: to stand in a situation like that on the road
Speaker 1: in a hostile environment. I mean it has to be
Speaker 1: something that they can carry forward throughout this season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think when they get down in the red
Speaker 1: zone they draw back on times that where they've been successful.
Speaker 1: We know the Atlanta Falcons play to get them to
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game a couple of years ago. The
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons play last year an opening Night. So this
Speaker 1: defense has made gold Line stands in big moments, latent games,
Speaker 1: and when you have guys like a Malcolm Jenkins out
Speaker 1: there and Nigel Bright him out there, these guys are experienced,
Speaker 1: so they're able to keep everyone else around them calm
Speaker 1: and those scenarios. Play a sound defense, do your job,
Speaker 1: don't try to be the hero. Trust your teammates, and
Speaker 1: that's what they were able to do in that scenario there.
Speaker 1: And I I think Jim Schwartz is comfortable calling deepens
Speaker 1: is down there in the red zone. He trust these
Speaker 1: guys that they're going to run the defense the way
Speaker 1: they wanted to run. And again, it helps not to
Speaker 1: have number seventeen out there in Devonte Adams. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just actually going to ask about that. We
Speaker 1: talked about how successful he was tonight. He had a
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards, fifteen targets, ten catches, one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty yards against the Eagles. Eagles get the win.
Speaker 1: What allowed Adams to be so successful. He's one of
Speaker 1: the best receivers in football. And this guy hasn't been
Speaker 1: in the end zone yet. He didn't get in there
Speaker 1: to night, but he certainly got his targets and his
Speaker 1: catches and his yards the night where he set up
Speaker 1: that Green Bay Packers. You finished that in a minute.
Speaker 1: But Carson Wentz is ready to take the podium let's
Speaker 1: hear from the Eagles quarterback. Take away from the outside
Speaker 1: looking in was get rid of the ball relatively quick
Speaker 1: and make a quick quick read, get it, gets the
Speaker 1: ball out of his head. What do he wanted? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we came in no him, that's a good
Speaker 1: good package defense, good front. They like to mix it up,
Speaker 1: do some things. So uh came in really just wanting
Speaker 1: to balance attacks, you know, get rid of the ball,
Speaker 1: you know, early, and just play fast and you know
Speaker 1: on third down as well. So we had a good
Speaker 1: game plan. We extually you tonight was that running game tonight? Huge,
Speaker 1: huge running game riding the old line and those two
Speaker 1: backs especially, that's huge, huge for me. You know, it
Speaker 1: takes a lot of pressure off me and you know,
Speaker 1: to be able to move the ball the way we
Speaker 1: did on the ground, that was huge for us tonight.
Speaker 1: How to feel it going to Lamba Field and get
Speaker 1: a win, it feels huge, you know, especially the point
Speaker 1: of the season that we're at. You know, going two
Speaker 1: and two is a heck of a lot better than
Speaker 1: being one in three Thursday night game on the road
Speaker 1: in Lambeau. A lot of things you know against working
Speaker 1: against us this week, but to come in here and
Speaker 1: fight to the end. The defense coming up big at
Speaker 1: the end, huge win for us. The confidence that you
Speaker 1: know your teammates have in this really it definitely does
Speaker 1: you know. I think, you know, even the last two weeks,
Speaker 1: you know, we've been extremely confident the guys we have
Speaker 1: and the ability that we have to to win ball
Speaker 1: games just came up short a couple of times. And so, uh,
Speaker 1: this is you know, kind of a nice little spark
Speaker 1: for us to you know, now we got a couple
Speaker 1: of days off and get this thing going. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: get this ball rolling for sure. After the injury to matters,
Speaker 1: there's so many things that could have happened beyond that,
Speaker 1: whether it's any time, whatever it is. What are you
Speaker 1: thinking just waiting watching? Yeah, obviously hoping, And first of all,
Speaker 1: I mean with Vante, I mean we're definitely thoughts and
Speaker 1: prayers with him. Uh, that's the absolute the worst part
Speaker 1: of the football, you know, is when you see guys
Speaker 1: like that, and so we're praying for him and you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll see him again here soon. But then it
Speaker 1: was kind of all right, now it's back to football.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a lot of silence kind of
Speaker 1: somber attitudes, and then we realized, all right, there's less
Speaker 1: than minute less than this ball game, and someone's got
Speaker 1: to win this game. So, uh, this is huge the
Speaker 1: defense step up the way they did, and you know,
Speaker 1: excited to come out with when starting to think about
Speaker 1: the possible another period. I mean, we're for sure, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm with coach grow and other guys just putting together
Speaker 1: some two minute plays, you know what we want to
Speaker 1: get to if they do score and everything and so
Speaker 1: but fortunately we didn't have to use them in that
Speaker 1: first series. You think you came out looked like you
Speaker 1: were really kind of maybe extra amped, but watch a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff on the others passage, you feel like
Speaker 1: you have to kind of try to get yourself a
Speaker 1: little bit and check, No, I just missed him, you know,
Speaker 1: just missed a couple, you know, miss the throw. But um,
Speaker 1: I wasn't too word, you know, able to settle in
Speaker 1: and um, you know we think we got that got
Speaker 1: it going a little bit. So yeah, I wasn't too word.
Speaker 1: Did you kill a lot of runs? You got to
Speaker 1: the line basic on what they were doing? Uh? Not
Speaker 1: really No, you know, we uh we had a good
Speaker 1: plan you know, we did some things at the line
Speaker 1: where we made some checks, but not a huge, huge
Speaker 1: night of that, and uh coached a great job of
Speaker 1: mixing it up and calling a great game and you
Speaker 1: guys were downtown nothing. Miles had that long kickoff, Like
Speaker 1: how how much did that kind of spark you guys?
Speaker 1: That's huge? You know, that's huge, you know, to have
Speaker 1: a short field like that, and I think I think
Speaker 1: we did two straight drives in a row or something
Speaker 1: like that short field, um, especially when or downten nothing.
Speaker 1: The way we were, we were kind of slowing offense.
Speaker 1: So that was huge for us to get a role
Speaker 1: in for sure, and we were able to get in
Speaker 1: the end zone. That was big. Back to it's huge,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I don't know what he ended
Speaker 1: up with, just a couple of catches probably, but his
Speaker 1: presence has definitely felt you know, his presence has felt
Speaker 1: offensively from the guys in here in our locker room,
Speaker 1: but uh, they have to always be aware of where
Speaker 1: he's at. And uh, you know, he was a big
Speaker 1: part of our offense to Night and God are both
Speaker 1: playing a lot kind of helped the running games just
Speaker 1: open things up. I think, so you know, I think
Speaker 1: it was good to have you know, Dallas full strength
Speaker 1: and al Shan out there and uh, you know, just
Speaker 1: opening some things up and you know they have to
Speaker 1: account for all those weapons and uh, the old line
Speaker 1: did a great job opening some some holes in the
Speaker 1: running game and those guys hit them hard. Four games. Carson,
Speaker 1: what have you learned about the team? Resilient? Resilient team?
Speaker 1: You know, unfortunately been plagued with a lot of injuries,
Speaker 1: you know, both sides of the ball, and uh, we'll
Speaker 1: see you know what what that looks like going forward
Speaker 1: for it for this team, But resilient bunch. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: kind of what we knew. I knew we had a
Speaker 1: lot of good depth and good ability, but the resiliency
Speaker 1: has been good to see game. But how big it's huge, huge, Uh,
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, you know, the difference between going
Speaker 1: two and two and one and three is huge in
Speaker 1: this league and especially for us on the road a
Speaker 1: short week coming in here. That's big for our confidence
Speaker 1: for sure. Person on the touchdown throat at Jordan Howard,
Speaker 1: who was your first read on that play? And what
Speaker 1: did you see kind of from a cover standpoint? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was Jordan Uh, you know, he was the alert
Speaker 1: and uh, they kind of mixed up coverage there a
Speaker 1: little bit and he was wide open. So it was
Speaker 1: good to get him in the passing game and the
Speaker 1: running game for sure. In the last two weeks, Miles
Speaker 1: and Jordan both mad plays in the passing game, which
Speaker 1: hasn't been the case here for a couple of years.
Speaker 1: How big is it to have those guys really kind
Speaker 1: of developed into good receivers. Yeah, it's huge. You know
Speaker 1: the way we like to use those guys out of
Speaker 1: the backfield, you know, spread them out in the empty
Speaker 1: sets and you know, get mismatches on linebackers and both
Speaker 1: those guys coming along. Obviously everyone knows Sprowls can do
Speaker 1: that and that's a big part of his game. But
Speaker 1: being able to do that with those guys, to keep
Speaker 1: the same personnel, run the ball, spread it out, do
Speaker 1: some different things as big for us as to as
Speaker 1: this was turnaround on the road two games five days
Speaker 1: to now have this weekend off in a little extra
Speaker 1: time for you guys to get healthy, because you guys
Speaker 1: are banged up. How beneficial will this weekend be for
Speaker 1: you guys to have this time off? Yeah, this weekend
Speaker 1: will be huge, you know, I know mentally for everybody,
Speaker 1: it just you know, to quarter through the season, you know,
Speaker 1: just to kind of decompress and mentally, um, get away
Speaker 1: for a day or two here, and then physically for sure,
Speaker 1: you know, the injuries and everything that's going on. Um,
Speaker 1: get some guys healthy, hopefully, get some guys back and
Speaker 1: make it run. Thought like, how you haven't had that
Speaker 1: signature man beating a good team on the road and
Speaker 1: all that making places in the fourth quarter. But you
Speaker 1: did all those things tonight. Is that significant for you?
Speaker 1: Kind of do you look at it that way? Um?
Speaker 1: You know, I just look at it as a resilient
Speaker 1: team that finally finished. You know, I think we're right
Speaker 1: there the last couple of weeks and we finally finished
Speaker 1: and got it done tonight. Um. You know, I wish
Speaker 1: offensively we would have sealed the deal m that dry prior,
Speaker 1: but the defense stepped up and made some great plays
Speaker 1: down the stretch and that we got it done. Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: you know, you know who he is and what he's done.
Speaker 1: Watching him tonight, do you feel like you were kind
Speaker 1: of in a duel back and forth with him? You know,
Speaker 1: you're kind of matching scores there for a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it definitely was back and forth game, and
Speaker 1: you know, a heck of a competitor and you know
Speaker 1: he can sling it around, so uh, you know, he
Speaker 1: kept it interesting and it was definitely back and forth.
Speaker 1: But you know, for us being able to have the
Speaker 1: balance attack that we did, I think it was the
Speaker 1: difference maker for us in your career that you that
Speaker 1: you want throwing one hundred and sixty yards. What does
Speaker 1: it say about this offense that you guys can have
Speaker 1: this game without you having three hundred ards. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was huge. Like I said, just the balance attack, especially
Speaker 1: against a good defense like the Green Bay Packers were. Um,
Speaker 1: the balance attack was. It was a difference maker for us.
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said earlier, takes a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure off of me, and you know, we can
Speaker 1: lean on those big guys up front. They love running
Speaker 1: the ball, they love moving guys up front, and we
Speaker 1: were able to get that done tonight. Thank you. A
Speaker 1: huge win for Carson Wentz and the Eagles tonight. UM
Speaker 1: A lot to take away from what he said. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Carson very excited talking about being able to rely on
Speaker 1: the run game just having all shun back, how much
Speaker 1: his presence has felt even if he isn't um you know,
Speaker 1: getting a bill any game anything specifically jump out to
Speaker 1: you about Carson's thoughts, Well, I just love the way
Speaker 1: that he was patient with the game. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you're sitting at one and two a year on the road,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's a quarterback, you may feel like I have
Speaker 1: all the way to the world on my shoulders and
Speaker 1: I need to go out here and outdo Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: And it was great to see that he didn't necessarily
Speaker 1: feel the pressure of doing that. Not that he didn't
Speaker 1: feel any pressure out there and play well, but he
Speaker 1: just didn't feel like he had to take it all
Speaker 1: upon himself to try to do it, and he allowed
Speaker 1: this offense to work for in the night I mentioned
Speaker 1: earlier where you noticed that he was in a certain
Speaker 1: offensive call and he checked to a run play based
Speaker 1: on the defense that he was seeing out there. So
Speaker 1: to me, that's the maturity of a quarterback saying to himself,
Speaker 1: I have to trust my teammates around me, I have
Speaker 1: to trust my coaches around me and let this thing
Speaker 1: come to me, as opposed to feeling like I need
Speaker 1: to force the issue, and that's the maturity of a quarterback.
Speaker 1: I mean, when young guys are as talented as car
Speaker 1: Arson is and we put as much focus in pressure
Speaker 1: on his performance, it's very easy for these guys to say, well,
Speaker 1: I need to do it all myself. And it was
Speaker 1: great tonight to see that he didn't play like he
Speaker 1: needed to do it all himself. And that's not easy
Speaker 1: to do. When you look across the field and you
Speaker 1: watch that other guy going up and down the field
Speaker 1: the way Aaron Rodgers was, you almost feel like you
Speaker 1: need to go out there and match what he's doing,
Speaker 1: when really all you need to go out there is
Speaker 1: just keep points up on with him, and they were
Speaker 1: able to do that tonight. Yeah, I didn't feel like
Speaker 1: he ought to old Aaron Rodgers, but if told him
Speaker 1: he did. We have to take a quick break. On
Speaker 1: the other side, friend Duffy is breaking down and keep
Speaker 1: played from this game in the RICO review. If you're
Speaker 1: watching us on social, we're gonna be ending our social

Speaker 1: how do you look? Who we got? Going bank isn't
Speaker 1: always best. It's a Google Puffle street art, Betty got

Speaker 1: plus membership get one hundred twenty miles and free emergency
Speaker 1: guest delivery. When going big is best, triple A go ahead.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the postgame show presented by Rico. We
Speaker 1: mentioned rookie running back Miles Sanders a career high in
Speaker 1: his short career with the Eagles tonight, rushing for a
Speaker 1: very impressive seventy two yards on eleven carries. He is
Speaker 1: the star of the Rico Review tonight, friend Duffy breaking
Speaker 1: down a big play by the Eagles. Rookie take a look. Well,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are tied now twenty seven, twenty seven. They
Speaker 1: get the ball and on the first play of the
Speaker 1: drive they get one of their biggest of the season,
Speaker 1: a huge run by Miles Sanders here in the backfield.
Speaker 1: And this is what you would call a wham play.
Speaker 1: And what is a wham play? Well, a wham is
Speaker 1: anytime you have a fullback or a tight end who
Speaker 1: is asked to block an interior defensive lineman. So a
Speaker 1: tight end blocking a defensive tackle, you wouldn't think that
Speaker 1: that's a fair matchup. But when you have angles and
Speaker 1: deception on your side, now you can make that work. Now,
Speaker 1: what the Eagles are gonna do is they bring Dallas
Speaker 1: Goddard in motion. He was lined up initially out wide
Speaker 1: to the left. They bring him in short motion. He
Speaker 1: settles in right next to the line of scrimmage here
Speaker 1: just before the snap. So these defensive lineman they're not
Speaker 1: thinking all Dallas Goddard. He's gonna be a factor here
Speaker 1: in this run play. But they're gonna bring him in
Speaker 1: And I want you to watch this corner Traymont Williams,
Speaker 1: number thirty eight. He's in man coverage on Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 1: Just store that away and keep it in the back
Speaker 1: of your mind. The player that Gotter is going to
Speaker 1: block is number ninety four, Dean Lowry. This defensive tackle
Speaker 1: lined up across from Isaac Sayamalo. Now, if Dean Lowry
Speaker 1: is gonna be blocked by Goddard, okay, we're gonna take
Speaker 1: him out of the picture. Who are Jason Peters and
Speaker 1: Isaac Sayamalo gonna block? Well, now this is the beauty
Speaker 1: of a wham plays. Now you're getting even more favorable
Speaker 1: matchups because now you can get your offensive lineman clean
Speaker 1: up to the second level. Isaac say Milo is gonna
Speaker 1: get up on the linebacker, Blake Martinez, Jason Peters is
Speaker 1: gonna get up on the safety, and then you've got
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz. He's just gonna wash out the pass rusher
Speaker 1: Preston Smith. So now not only are you erasing a
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, but you're also getting big bodies up to
Speaker 1: the second level to get some mismatches up in space
Speaker 1: and create some room to work. So we're gonna let
Speaker 1: this roll and see how this all comes to fruition
Speaker 1: here for the Seagles offense, this is about to be
Speaker 1: a car wreck inside right in front of Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard completely wipes out Dean Lowry. Zach Hurts does
Speaker 1: a great job play side. Jason Peters is about to
Speaker 1: crunch this safety number thirty one and wipe him into oblivion.
Speaker 1: He buckles immediately on contact. Isaac sayamalo. He gets up
Speaker 1: to the second level and you see Traymont Williams. Remember
Speaker 1: I told you right at the beginning of the snap,
Speaker 1: Traymont Williams was in man coverage on the tight end
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard. So when Goddard came across the formation, Traymont
Speaker 1: Williams rand with him. So he's actually running himself out
Speaker 1: of the play. Look at this alley that Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: has to work with. It's why wham and trap the
Speaker 1: traps Distant Cousins are such great run players because you
Speaker 1: take advantage of angles. You get the running back downhill,
Speaker 1: you get a huge alley. Here. We'll let this run
Speaker 1: and you can see Miles Sanders running away. Ninety six
Speaker 1: tries to make a nice play from the backside, but
Speaker 1: Sanders is off for the race. Is huge run play
Speaker 1: to get the Eagles going, get them into Green Bay
Speaker 1: territory here and set up a touchdown. Jordan Howard finishes
Speaker 1: it off with a couple of devastating runs between the
Speaker 1: tackles and the Eagles take a one touchdown league. The
Speaker 1: Eagles rookie running back continues to make impressive strides in
Speaker 1: his game. Really impressive stuff there from my el Sanders.
Speaker 1: We are going to take another quick break. On the
Speaker 1: other side, we have the nominees for the Toyota Player

Speaker 1: a Knight, big runs, even cult passes out of the backfield. Obviously,
Speaker 1: all three of those guys are are worthy a band
Speaker 1: Player of the Week, But a lot of fans calling
Speaker 1: for Jordan Howard to be a bigger part of the
Speaker 1: game plan. They got what they wanted, and he rewarded
Speaker 1: everyone with a really a career performance. From a touchdown standpoint, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think if I'm voting, I have to agree, even
Speaker 1: though I'm surprised if you're not picking a linebacker. That
Speaker 1: says a linebacker going an interception, a game ceiling interception,
Speaker 1: that says a lot. Look, the big, big reason the
Speaker 1: Eagles were able to succeed tonight on the road at
Speaker 1: Green Bay was because the run game was so productive.
Speaker 1: Credit to the offensive line, but credit to Jordan Howard
Speaker 1: for continuing to run stronger and stronger. They're an excellent one.
Speaker 1: Remember to cast your vote for one of those three
Speaker 1: guys for your chance to win a free Toyota. All right,
Speaker 1: great win, a lot of momentum, a shot in the arm.
Speaker 1: Everyone's saying two and two, we're heading forward. We have
Speaker 1: the New York Jets coming to self Philadelphia next weekend,
Speaker 1: so the Eagles will have a little bit of a
Speaker 1: couple days off this weekend, kind of regroup the Jets.
Speaker 1: Oh and three, they're very injured, but they're coming off
Speaker 1: of a bye. Sam Darnald up in the air he's
Speaker 1: been dealing with Mono. He's been dealing with that illness,
Speaker 1: so we're not quite sure when we're going to see
Speaker 1: him back, but maybe he'll be here. What do you
Speaker 1: see from the Jets team coming to well, a young team,
Speaker 1: they're still trying to search for their identity. I thought
Speaker 1: they had a chance to be a wild card team
Speaker 1: if everything went their way, and Sam Donald took sort
Speaker 1: of that that second year step that you want to
Speaker 1: see from your top quarterbacks when they're drafted, but he's
Speaker 1: obviously dealing with somewhat of an illness right now. Here's
Speaker 1: what I would I would advise the Eagles enjoy this
Speaker 1: win tonight, enjoy the flight back home, even enjoy it tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Understand there's a lot of football left to be played
Speaker 1: and you still have not arrived, and the Jets aren't
Speaker 1: to be taken lightly. And you got to realize that
Speaker 1: every game you have to approach with the same mentality
Speaker 1: you approach to night's game with. You can't come back
Speaker 1: here after ten days rest, take a Jets team lightly,
Speaker 1: and find yourself in a dog fight next Sunday, and
Speaker 1: then we're looking up at a surprise loss like we
Speaker 1: did with the Lions. So this is one of those
Speaker 1: games where you want to keep the momentum going. You
Speaker 1: don't want to relax. You want to say, oh, we'll arrived,
Speaker 1: now we're good to go. We just beat Green Bay. No,
Speaker 1: use that as a springboard to probably run off a
Speaker 1: few games. I mentioned this is the toughest stretch of
Speaker 1: the schedule coming up over the next six to seven weeks,
Speaker 1: and none of these games are gimm That's the mindset
Speaker 1: the players must have. If Doug is going to get
Speaker 1: them a few days off, I would advise use those
Speaker 1: days wisely, get healthy, get as much film as you can,
Speaker 1: but stay locked in. This is not a bye week.
Speaker 1: This isn't the time to go on vacation. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of football left to be played, and you put
Speaker 1: yourself in a position that you gotta get yourself out
Speaker 1: of and come back here next week and be ready
Speaker 1: to take on the New York Jets. Well, and that
Speaker 1: is something that coach Peterson has emphasized throughout this just
Speaker 1: throughout his time here is Look, this team is going
Speaker 1: to have a target on their back. They're always going
Speaker 1: to get everyone's best effort, it doesn't matter who it is.
Speaker 1: They're always going to be ready to play the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and we are going to be ready for that game
Speaker 1: as well. We're going to be right back here on
Speaker 1: October sixth as we prepare for kickoff. Our show will
Speaker 1: be at twelve thirty four one o'clock kickoff on the
Speaker 1: Kickoff Show presented by Exanta. That'll be me and Fran
Speaker 1: Duffy and of course, as always, after the game, I,
Speaker 1: Fran and I we will be back to break it
Speaker 1: all down. So we will see you on October sixth.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, enjoy this Eagles win and fly Eagles Fly,
