WEBVTT - Week 14 Post Game Show 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.760 It was a dominant forty eight to twenty two victory 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.320 in the meadow Lands, and ten was the lucky number. 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.320 That's his son Reddick getting number his tenth sack of 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.800 the season. Miles Saider's rushing for his tenth touchdown. A J. 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.840 Brown he catches his tenth touchdown of the season right here, 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.080 and it was a day for everyone. Jalen hurts he 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.560 rushes for his tenth touchdown on the ground. Welcome to 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.360 the postgame show presented by Rico. I'm Gabrielle d Gibanni, 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.800 joined by fran Duffy and I got you gotta hold 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:16.520 the Ears today. Eagles fans, it's going down. WHOA Yes, 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:22.240 indeed got out were great. I haven't seen a win 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.160 like that up in MetLife. Right When was the last 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.720 time the Eagles blew the Giants out on the road. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.520 This way, you can see it on the sideline, you 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:30.400 can see it the stands. There was a party up 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.280 in MetLife for Eagles fans and for the entire team. Yeah, 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.440 this team is scary right now. They are locked in, 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.520 they're playing their best football. You look at what they've 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.360 done over the last three weeks. I mean they're easily 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.680 the best team in football, and they have all three 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.840 phases clicking right now. Special teams in the return game. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.760 Great job today the defense just smothering on this Giants offense, 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.840 and then the Eagles offense today pretty much able to 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.840 move the ball at will through the air early when 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.360 they needed to, but on the ground mostly when they 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.400 wanted to. Great job today by that offensive line. Jalen 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.120 Hurt's operating with efficiency as he's done all year long. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.600 Just really a total team effort going on the road 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.200 in an environment that the Eagles don't typically play well in, 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.680 you know, the last two times there's been losses up 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:20.040 there in the Meadowlands. Great job by Nick's, Tirianni and 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.520 this coaching sta have getting this team mentally prepared to 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.960 go on the road and play a team. Listen, you 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.840 can easily play down to your competition. You can easily 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.120 get laws to sleep when you're facing a team like 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.280 the New York Giants that on paper don't necessarily look 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.200 like they pose a threat to you. But I like 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.960 what the Eagles mentality is right now, which has played 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.720 to their own standards. They have set a standard that 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.240 they want to play and meet almost perfection every week 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.440 and regardless of who the opponent is right now, they 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.240 are locked in and they're playing the best, best foot 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.720 best football in the NFL. They were explosive out offense, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.359 They were destructive on defense, seven sacks for that unit, 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.280 outstanding on third down again, get back in the turnover 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.560 category with that sack fumble from Brandon Graham. Just both 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.720 sides of the football. The special team is making plays 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.040 in this game as well. Boston Scott explosive and the 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.600 kick return unit. This has just been a really, really 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.359 decisive win here for this Eagles team past three weeks. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.280 Forty points on the Packers, thirty five on the tight ends, 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.919 and forty eight on the Giants. They shut down Aaron Jones, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.120 shutdown Derrick Henry stay Quon Barkley was a little limited today, 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.560 but they also shut down Daniel Jones because his legs 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.800 are just as much of a threat. So from an 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.760 offensive perspective, they put up the points and from a 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.920 defensive perspective, they put a stop on every weapon that's 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.280 been on the football field on the other side for 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:38.880 three weeks in a row. Now. Yeah, and you can 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.800 tell they came into this game with a mental focus. 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.200 If they didn't necessarily want to play down to any 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.080 type of competition. They want them force the Giants to 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.120 play up to the Eagles standards, and the Giants, Jess 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.640 weren't able to keep up. Eagles jumped out on this 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.240 team early. Like I said, through the air, wink Martindale, 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.800 you want to bring pressure, try to blist this offense. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.520 Jalen Hurts in that first half, great job being decisive 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.560 where he wanted to go with the football to touchdown 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.280 pass to DeVonta Smith, My goodness, great pass, even a 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.440 better catch from DeVante Smith, concentrating on the ball, not 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.160 worrying about the contact that he made a hit, he 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.200 didn't even get the contact, was able to take that 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.160 ball in the end zone. And when they got up 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.559 twenty one and nothing, you almost felt like this game 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.000 was in hand. Giants tried to make a little bit 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.920 of a push there, but I like what the Eagles 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.600 were able to do right before the half, big kickoff 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.640 return they got. They were able to get a field 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.839 goal in there, and I thought they at that point 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.280 put out any chance to Giants had in coming back 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:38.600 in this game. Yeah, we talked about that in the 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.640 Cookoff Show. Right. Ella was the fact that if this 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.640 Eagle's heam could get out fast on this giant squad, 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.720 that the New York would not be able to play 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.599 from behind the sticks and get back into this football game. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.279 And like you mentioned it, Jalen was an absolute heater 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.200 opening to open this game. Open nine of ten. You 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.000 saw a couple of those touchdown throws and even some 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.560 of the ones that didn't go for big plays, impressive, 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.640 impressive throws from Jalen Hurts. And that's the thing these 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.039 last two weeks. A lot of this production it is 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.320 not coming from RPOs and screen passes. You're seeing the 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.640 traditional drop back pass game, down the field, attacking at 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.239 all three levels. Jalen Hurts playing very, very quality football 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.600 right now, and they're setting the tone in every game 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.000 that they've played in in the past. Six of seven 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.440 games or opening drive his results in a touchdown. So 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.920 when they open these games, they're saying, look, we're the 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.000 Philadelphia Eagles, this is how we're gonna play ball. You 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.960 have to catch up with us. And I think that 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.000 says a lot about kind of the grit that this 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.600 team has. But you have to think about too, there 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.360 was some juice that went into this game. Because if 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.320 they want to accomplish the things they want to accomplish 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.359 the season, it starts with the NFC East. So to 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.040 pick up this game on the road in the NFC East, 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.240 take down a team that they're in the playoff hunt 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.440 just as much as the Eagles are, it's a pretty 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.679 big deal. Yeah, And that's what I meaning by they 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.039 had the right mental approach to this game. And it 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.960 doesn't start on Sunday. It starts on Tuesday when you 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.880 start to prepare for your next week's opponent. So that 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.320 means you're putting in the proper amount of time preparation wise, 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.000 to make sure you go over all the details that 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.800 you need to study to get prepared for this New 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.640 York Giants offense. We knew that the Giants would struggle 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.400 trying to throw the ball, but Daniel Jones and say 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.880 Kwan Barkley when he's healthy, pose a real threat in 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.680 the running game. And we know Daniel Jones with his 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.760 legs has hurt this Eagles defense in the past. To me, 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.359 all those things allowed the Eagles to prepare for this 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.800 game with the proper amount of attention to detail that 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.239 they needed. That you know what you know on the outside, 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.840 you may look at this game and say, Okay, this 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.599 is an easy game for the Eagles. They should go 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.760 up there and blow this team out. But if you 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.440 as the team don't necessarily prepare properly, that's how you 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.640 want to find yourself in a close game. And you 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.719 could tell the Eagles by the way they played early. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.080 They started winning this game early in the week preparing 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.520 for it. Open the game, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. On offense, 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.320 you open the game defensively, punt punt, punt, a couple 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.720 of sacks, some TFLs in there, so creating explosive plays 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.160 on both sides of the football. Like you talked about 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.440 stopping the run. Sae Quon Barkley went for twenty six 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.040 yards today, Daniel Jones went for twenty eight yards today. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.760 Gary Brightwell, who got a chunk of the yardage for 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.880 behind sae Quon Barkley twenty three yards today. So the 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.680 run defense was swarming, the pass rush was devastating the 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.720 way that they were able to get after Daniel Jones 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.880 make him feel uncomfortable from the jump. I mentioned seven sacks, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.080 but how many of those incompletions were due to the 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.360 pressure getting home and forcing Aaron throw. So the defense 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.640 is all over the place, the offense continues to be 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.040 explosive and efficient. This team is again just a complete 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.120 team victory. Seven team sacks. Like you said, BG was 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.480 responsible for three of those. He was all over the 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.840 football field today. But when you talk about the pressure, 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.680 we mentioned it in the kickoff show, how important that 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.960 would because Daniel Jones has played considerably well under pressure 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.440 this season. He kept the ball protected, he didn't throw 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.280 any interceptions, but the pressure just became too much for 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.880 him and Darius Layton didn't get his first reception until 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.520 the fourth quarter, so he just didn't have enough time 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.280 to even find his leading weapon down the field. Yeah, 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.880 great job from the scheme today from Jonathan Gannon not 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.480 using a lot of blitzes to get after Daniel Jones. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.400 You know, he's an athletic quarterback back there, so you 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.280 know he has the ability to extend plays with his legs. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.480 But they got after Daniel Jones with that four man 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.280 pressure today, and those dollars guys did a great job 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.240 up front winning there one on one situations. We saw 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.520 Brandon Graham turned back the clock. Three sacks a day 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.360 for him, I thought Josh Schwett set the tone early 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.960 beating Thomas around the corner. That's their number one overall 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.360 draft pick from a couple of years ago. Josh Schwett 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.600 had no problem beating him off the snap of the ball. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.640 That's how you keep an offense in checks when you 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.079 don't have to bring the extra guys, when you can 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.120 get pressure by just bringing four guys and allows you 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.840 to put four guy i mean more guys back in coverage. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.040 And it's funny looking at the lack of blitz from 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.599 the Eagles, the lack of necessity to blitz. Then you 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.080 go to the other side. The Giants flitz more than anybody. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.199 And what do we talk about pregame is that the 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.920 Eagles ability to create those explosive plays against the blitz. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.520 How many times did we see early in this game 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.920 first half the Giants sending extra rushers at Jalen Hurts 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.480 and Jalen making them pay. Certainly on that fourth down 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.560 play to DeVante Smith forty one yards for a touchdown, 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.360 but it was the case on the thirty three yard 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.560 or to a J Brown for six points as well. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.160 So Jalen continuing to execute against the blitz, that is 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.000 gonna be a very very valuable tool for this offense 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.480 moving into the postseason, which, by the way, clinching that 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.400 playoff victory today with the win also very very big 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.360 for this team as well. We're gonna keep rolling here 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.360 on the postgame show, but I want to remind fans 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.720 to head to the Facebook comments for a Ask Ike's segment. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.920 You can ask any questions you may have and we'll 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.880 get to them right here. On the show mentioned A J. Brown, 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.120 we're talking Miles Sanders. Big days for both of them. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.280 Both are passing the one thousand yard mark on the season. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.880 AJ Brown He's done it two other times. Miles Sanders 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.360 this is his first time eclipsing a thousand yards. The 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.560 way that he's been able to play so well this season, 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.120 what kind of advantage does he give this Eagles offense 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:57.880 Because we see a day like today, we think it's 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.559 all going to get done on the ground. It's rainy, 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.280 it's wet up at MetLife. They start out passing, it 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.520 was looking very strong and the male Sanders goes up 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.440 career high day for him and he hits out one 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.520 thousand yard mark. I said this in the summer fran 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.480 and Ella, that this Eagles offense. The X factor in 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.760 this offense would be Miles Sanders, and if Miles Sanders 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.840 plays to the potential in which they envisioned him playing 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.880 when they drafted him, it would take this offense to 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.920 the next level. And that's really what it's done. You know, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.080 a lot of attention has gone to the quarterback, and 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.320 rightfully so. He is the front running for the MVP 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.520 hands down right now. But Male Sanders being a complimentary 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.120 runner to what Jalen Hurst done does and at sometimes 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.960 in some games really been the bill Cow where you 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.880 can give the ball tow almost twenty times a game. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.640 That's the difference in Males Sanders as a runner to 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.600 day and how he's running behind his pads, making guys 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.640 miss when need be, playing with a sort of physical 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.640 nature and authoritative running style that you envisioned him having 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.800 a whole that he would have and he really has 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.319 stepped into that franchise back mold this year. Really happy 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.560 to see that Miles is taking this game to the 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.520 next level because we all saw it when he was drafted. 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.120 All Right, I gotta cut you off like three sacks 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.040 today for Brandon Graham and he joins us at the 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.679 podium that's one box we can check check off. You 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.080 know we're not done yet. Um I feel great on 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.960 you know, just us reaching our goals of you know, 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.439 making the playoffs postseason, but man, we got so much 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.400 more more game and more bar to go. You just 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.559 gotta make sure we finished like we want to. And 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:39.400 you know, great great first step contract for sacks, well 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.400 you know, get as many as you can. Know. It 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.599 sent us though, but just you know, just trying to 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.600 help the team. It felt good. Man. You know, it's 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.080 been a minute since I had three in the game. 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.760 The Jets was the last game I had three, So 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.360 um man, I'm just just happy at this age, you know, 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.760 just just still trying to stay stay relevant, stay helping 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:03.120 the team. Rush you most about the terms group from pass, 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.360 I just feel like we're hungry. I mean, if anything, man, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.719 them boys motivated me even more to day to make 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.960 sure that, like you know, I make my Russias count 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.720 because I mean, Hassan was just beating up on seventy 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.680 three to day and you were seeing him. He was 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.679 on the sideline mad because he was one step away 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.320 every time, and you know, it's just it's just cool 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.680 that everybody once we do what we're supposed to do, 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.160 and that stopped the run. You know, everybody just knowing 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.560 our strength is as a pass as pass rushers, and 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.640 how hungry we all are to try to get out 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.040 there and make make them count. I mean, I'm just 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.480 just thankful for the group because we all motivating each 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.200 other stages of playing your basket football. So it's kind 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.199 of part of that push to start. You know, I'll 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.079 be up up in your game a little bit more 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.480 if anything. You know, that's two. That's when you want 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:47.960 to get hot. You want to get hot towards the 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.160 end so that you can carry over to the next, 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.079 to the to the playoffs. And like you said, man, 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.360 things is coming together. Special teams playing better. Um. I mean, 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.880 even though we got a pump block today, we came 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.280 back and you know, we we we handle them like 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.520 we're supposed to. But that's the that's the little stuff 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.360 that we got to stay working on, making sure that 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.680 we don't have those hiccups because in good and against 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.480 a good team, you know they're gonna make us pay 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.320 for that, and so we just gotta make sure we 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.120 just keep cleaning up. And wanted to clean it up. 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.720 And I just think that. Yeah, man, were playing our best, 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.360 our best ball is starting to happen now towards the 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.800 end of the before we make this run. Man, you 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.760 know what, du you know it, dude, this would be 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.920 my first time, you know, this year, if I could, 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.960 if I could do it, I got four games left, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.400 you know, that's on my mind. But at the end 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.800 of the day, I'm just gonna do like today it 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.160 came to day three. Didn't even know it was gonna 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.560 come like that, but just happy that. Um, you know, 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.080 we just got to win at the end of the day. 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.679 Extra juice for this game for you after missing last season, 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.360 missing this game, and it was a tough loss off 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.480 here last year, Oh yeah, for sure. We that was 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.439 talked about, just how they did this last year and 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.480 I wasn't even I was here, but I wasn't part 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.480 of it because you know, I toured my Achilles last 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.480 year and of course, you know, it's been on my 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.040 mind to be out here and try to, you know, 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.200 be the best that I could be this year. Let 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:01.880 him know that I still got some more juice left 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.800 in the tank. Can Yeah, man, I'm just having fun. Honestly, 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:06.959 you can clinching the playoffs, you said it checks. The 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.200 Bots obviously played long enough to not take that for granted. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.199 Oh yes, no teams like this to who come around 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.439 too often. So how do you guys kind of view 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.360 it in the locker room? Just you know, hey, y'all, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.800 that's just the first step. That's the first step to 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.240 the goals that we set for ourselves. Make it the 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.800 postseason winning division. We didn't want a division yet because 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.840 obviously we got four more, but we made the playoffs, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.160 got a spot. But you know, yeah, man, we just 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.440 got so much more that we got to accomplish. And 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.400 at the end of the day, it's the artsmate thing 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.480 is to get a ring or I ain't gonna say 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.640 it's I'll just say this, it's a great season so far. 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.800 Let's just stay stay stay focused, stay focused on the 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.640 task that hand, and that's getting that ring clinching today 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:51.280 Compared other times in the locker rooms, man, you know 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.960 what we I Clinston some places. I Clinston Dallas one year, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.520 Clinston Well, Clinston Dallas two years. Uh, but you know 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.400 the Clints right now to get to the playoffs, man, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.720 with four games left, that's the first for me because 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.680 we usually had to wait till the end, you know, 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.480 to somebody win the division. So um yeah, I'm just man, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.920 thankful for this team, trying to make sure we take 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.400 full advantage of the opportunities when they come. And man, 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.440 I'm just trying to enjoy one day at a time 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.640 with these boys because we know next year it's gonna 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.040 be next year. But you know, this team, it's what 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.760 we do not and so I want to make sure 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.920 we take full advantage of it. Too. Long offensive drives 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.560 getting the game. Uh you know what it's I know 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.680 how I go, um um the first fifteen plays, I 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.560 mean you're just trying to see how they're hitting you, 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:38.680 and you know they made some plays in there. But 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.600 I feel like we just had to stay focused, stay coming, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.400 making sure we stayed after stay quine because we knew 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.240 they running game was you know, something that they was 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.240 definitely gonna try to do. And um yeah, man, I 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.880 just I just know we adjusted well as the game went. 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.840 Oh oh oh, you're talking about us. Oh it helps, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.960 it helps us, you know, keep keep touch fresh at least, 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.920 you know, staying on the sideline seeing the offense, you know, 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.720 where their defense down a little bit because those long drives. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.800 Definitely were you down after while if you don't get 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.360 off the field, and um, I'm just happy to the 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.000 offense you know, went down to score both we went 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.240 up for a team. Um was it twenty one at 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.960 one point? Yeah? Twenty one U and man this that 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.120 definitely helps and it changed the mindset of the offensive 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.600 coordinator on the side on what he can call trying 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.520 to make sure that he, um, you know, get get 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.640 them back in the game. And up up front, we 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.240 know that they got to pass the ball in order 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.520 in order for that to happen. So we're just licking 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.360 our chops at the end of the day. Can you 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.840 talk about you know, everything started fun offensive line. We 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.040 talked about the how you guys played with goth intemperty 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.600 and the linebacker, just the free flow. Um, yeah, we 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.760 knew getting off the rock was number one, and like 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:51.240 you said, we want to play on the side of 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.520 the ball. And so I think that in the middle 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.960 interior interior wise, Um, you know, them boys was knocking 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.960 the boys back and you know, we knew on the 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.880 edge what we was gonna do. But it was just 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.080 more about just playing together and I think, yeah, everybody 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.800 was just taking care of the run first before we started, 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.840 you know, playing for the past, and when it was 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.840 time to play for the past, we knew it wasn't 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.680 no run. Weren't we ain't we ain't playing to run 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.359 them all, So you know it's it was. It was 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.480 cool to make sure that we checked that box first 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.640 before we actually went out and went after the quarterback. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.359 He's a Vet and he's still got three sacks on 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.120 the day in a big divisional game. But his alma mater, 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.719 that team up North, they took to Twitter giving him 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.480 a bunch of love. Let's see what they said. A 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.840 three sack day for Brandon Graham. Hashtag Walter Payton Man 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:46.359 of the Year challenge, hashtag Pro Bowl vote, hashtag go Blue. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:57.600 You don't want to say that one, but it's a reminder. 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.560 It's a good reminder to get your Pro Bowl voltes. Yes, well, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.320 he is one of the few things that I like 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:07.639 about that team on the board. Who doesn't love Brandon Graham. 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:12.480 Awesome job by him today, three sacks. Fletch got you 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.040 by two today, so him and Fletcher out there. Fletcher 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.040 was able to get one, Brandon was able to get three. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.440 It truly is awesome to see Brandon coming back from 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.320 that Achilles Hill injury. You don't have an injury like 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.280 that at this stage of your career and make a 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.159 full recovery, and so Brandon being able to do that, 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.960 it's just a testament to the hard work that he's 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.760 put in, the trainers and the staff that helped him 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.000 get through that. But it's great to see that smile 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.600 out there. Man. Sometimes you forget how much you miss 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.119 Brandon's personality being up there at the podium, and we 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.399 certainly missed that last year. Is great to have him 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.440 back this year. And just to give a quick tease 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.720 to that Walter Payton Man of the Year video that 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.560 went out earlier this week on Eagles Entertainment all Eagles 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.239 digital channels, go check out when Brandon Graham found out 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.520 that he was the honoree for the Walter Payton Man 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.399 of the Year. But in your box of tissues, a 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:03.960 few with you. You will need it, because I know 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.399 I did watching it on my desk. Very well done. Oh, 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.480 let's go back to the offense a little bit. Devonte 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.160 Smith had a great day. That touchdown. Friend's gonna break 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.600 down a little later on in the show. The way 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.360 he's been used in this offense. And we've been talking 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.280 about him for the past few weeks because you feel 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.760 like you don't hear enough about Devontae Smith and you 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.320 look at his numbers and he's still Devontae Smith. Yeah. 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.600
