WEBVTT - Postgame Show: Eagles Lose 19-37 vs the Los Angeles Rams 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:07.000 At thirty seven to nineteen. Is your final score? Is 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.639 the Eagles fall to the Rams at home and start 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.000 this season? Oh and two. We are going to break 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.280 it down for you here on the postgame show, presented 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.240 by Rico. I'm Amy Campbell. I'm joined by fran Duffy 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.480 and by Ike Greece. We are coming to you from 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.760 three different locations to give you one cohesive show. We'll 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.800 also be joined by Eagles insider Dave Spidero and I. 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:30.560 Let's just start here. Big picture. Eagles start, get behind 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:33.279 to start the game, they keep it, They're able to 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:37.800 come back, get within within Oh my goodness, I'm so 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.800 flustered by this game. All right, we have a lot 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.120 to discuss. They're able to get close at the end, 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.240 but they were not able to ever take the lead 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.920 in this one. Why don't you start saying some words 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:53.880 about this game? Well, I think it's fairly obvious. You know, 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.960 the Eagles basically, for the second week in the row, 0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.880 beat themselves. I mean, the only difference this week was 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.000 they didn't wait till when they were up seventeen and nothing. 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.920 It started off from the opening drive, I mean the 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.800 mouse Sanders fumbled there on the opening drive and to 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.440 put the Rams right there in scoring territory. The Eagles 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.360 were basically climbing uphill. From that point on. Rams able 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.600 to go up twenty one to three after one quarter, 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.000 and from that point you're basically pressing trying to get 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.200 back into the game. They were able to get within 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.240 five with the ball in the red zone and boom, 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:36.160 another self inflicted wound. Carson Wins throwing a touchdown in 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.840 the end zone a throw where you have to make 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.080 a better throw. I'm not gonna say it was a 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.200 bad decision. You just need to make a better throw there. 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.920 To JJ Arthago Whiteside, if you're gonna make that throw. 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.800 Big time quarterbacks certainly have confidence in their arm and 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.920 they take a risk on throws like that, and they 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.440 all then come through. And that's a throw there the 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.480 Carson is capable of making. He needed to make that 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.320 throw probably a second sooner than what he did, and 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.560 that dB was able to break on in amy and 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.800 I think from that point that really took the sale 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.200 out of the team. They didn't necessarily recover fully after that. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.120 I know they had another opportunity when they were down 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:19.960 and the Ram zone. What they had to settle for 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.920 a field goal. But really, to me, by that point, 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:28.200 that interception took a lot out of this team. Yeah, 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.520 it definitely seemed to take the wind out of their 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.120 sales there. And of course, without the crowd, the crowd 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.959 noise can only do so much. And I'm interested to 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.919 hear Dave Spandaro's thoughts on that in a second. But 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.840 fran let's look at this Rams offense, the Sean McVay 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.320 offense that really had the Eagles defense looking pretty confused 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.160 at least in that first half. Total net yards for 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.480 the Rams four forty nine and the rushing yards for 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.760 the Rams one hundred and ninety one rushing yards, it 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.920 seemed like they were really able to just impose their 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.520 will on the Seagles defense. Yeah, I mean, this defense 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.399 or this offense has an identity. You're right, we talked 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.160 about it this week on Eagles Game Plan. Ike. I 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.360 thought you did a great job of breaking down what 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.160 makes them so effective and what the Eagles needed to 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.120 be able to stop them, and it required a lot 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.520 of discipline at the second and third level. Look, I'm 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.520 gonna wait until I watched the film on Monday morning 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.160 to really take away what I saw from this. But 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.480 to me, I mean the Eagles defense. Obviously they couldn't 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.120 stop anybody in the first drive or the first half. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.960 I mean, you go to Jared Goff start thirteen for thirteen. 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.480 You talked about the numbers, Amy, I mean the offense. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.119 They had their way with the Eagles defense, running the ball, 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.480 throwing the ball, play action, gadget plays. I mean, everything 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.680 they wanted they took. They were great on third down, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.440 they were great in the red zone. You thought the 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.480 opening drive, while it's just they had the short field. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.160 All right, let's get them back the next one. No, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.560 they marched right down the field. They score again. Like 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.080 I said, everything was working on all cylinders for this 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.840 La Ram's offense. They had the Eagles number and the 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.080 first half. I was glad that the defense was able 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.840 to bounce back. The offense showed some resiliency. They were 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.920 good in the first half. They stayed with it. They 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.040 didn't bail in the run game. They showed that they 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.920 were willing to stick it with it. They got within 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.160 a score and they must just a field goal in 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.600 the second half. I mean, it was a tale of 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.360 two halves where you saw the defense really kind of 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.600 crumble in the first half, the offense held up their 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:13.760 end and then the situations flopped on the at halftime. Yeah, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.440 and you mentioned Jared Goff that thirteen for thirteen start 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.720 to the game. That's the best start for him in 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.159 his career, the most accurate he's been in his career. 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.800 All right, let's go to Dave SPINNERO. Now who is 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:28.080 on the scene. Dave, take me through just the atmosphere, 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.000 what you observe from the guys in terms of the energy, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.560 the body language, and the ups and downs of this 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.120 game and how they handled it without the fan support there. Yeah, 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.839 there's not a lot of atmosphere. Amy, it is the crowd. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.279 It's almost like a murmurs sound. It's not a loud, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.560 boisterous crowd. You really hear from the stands. And I 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.520 spent a little time towards the end of the game 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.440 in the stands. You hear the sidelines. So there is 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.120 no juice at all, obviously from the pumped in noise. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.720 And the Eagles just haven't played these two games with 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.040 that fevered pitch that they need to play with. So 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:10.039 today an extremely disappointing start to the home season. I 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.440 don't I disagree with Mike, I don't think the Eagles 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.000 gave this game away. They certainly made a lot of mistakes, 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.080 but I thought, look, if Cooper Cup doesn't fumble a 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:22.200 punt return, this game is a lot worse than it 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.120 already is here. So I mean, I think the Eagles 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.800 were unable to get off the field defensively and then offensively. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.120 After scoring seventeen points last week, they only scored nineteen 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:36.440 points this week. So there is a need for something 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.200 to wake this football team up and have it play 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:44.320 with its hair on fire. You it just you've ran 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.600 through some numbers. One rushing yards, where are the linebackers 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:54.599 Tyler Higbee? Three touchdown catches victimizing linebackers, motion Eagles missing 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:59.599 tackles Jared Goff nine point nine yards per pass attempt. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.560 These are staggering numbers against a group that we thought 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:08.160 the defense was gonna rise to the occasion. Four more 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.960 touchdowns allowed and five trips to the red zone by 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.520 the defense after three or four performance last week by 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:19.200 the Washington football team, the Eagles. Eagles need something really 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.479 good to happen here. Like you said, there's just not 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.960 a spark, Dave. I want to go to the other 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:25.680 side you brought up some of the numbers on the 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.360 defensive side, but you look at this offense, the game 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.400 plan this week certainly a lot different than what we 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.000 saw a week ago against Washington. Instead of it being 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.640 deep shot, deep shot, deep shot down the field, you 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.559 saw a lot of underneath stuff and then they started 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.080 to open it up a little bit more in the 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.760 second half. Carson Wentz a handful of missus in the 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.480 second half that, honestly, he just can't have, especially when 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.880 they're working from behind trying to get back into this 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.760 football game. What did you make of the game from 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.440 Carson wentz concerted effort to get the football out of 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.360 his hands, so I thought he did a better job 0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:00.279 of that. But yeah, he missed some receivers and turned 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.120 the ball over another couple of times. Here, three more 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.800 turnovers by the Eagles offense at six in two games, 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.040 so just on I mean, they tried to incorporate Jalen 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.600 Hurts three plays, moved him around the formations as a decoy. 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.760 There were times when the Eagles really showed great tempo. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.720 They tried to get, you know, up to the line 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.160 of scrimmage quickly, get the get the offense going going, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:28.720 going seemed to work. You reference the interception in the 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.239 end zone, a throw to Arthega Whiteside that was just 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.120 not there. You had to make a perfect throw to 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.360 thread the needle there. And I thought until that point 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.440 Carson had done a nice job of taking what the 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.840 defense was giving him. I felt on that play he 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.280 got a little bit greedy. And you know the fact 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:52.880 that the Eagles were able to claw their way back 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.360 into the game after being down twenty one to three admirable. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.320 That play, coupled with the Rams coming right down the 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.080 field and score, just took the wind out of the sails. Here. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.160 There's things that I see with this team that are 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.520 very concerning after a giveaway. The defense is not getting 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.400 off the field. The defense is not stopping anybody in 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.880 the red zone. The offense is not producing consistent big plays. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:18.640 They got the running game going a little bit today. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.360 That was nice, but nothing big. A twenty two yard 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:26.040 pass on a blitz to Miles Sanders. Nice, DeShawn Jackson 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.560 twenty five yard game catching run, nice, but nothing over 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.440 the top. I get it. It's against the screen a 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.520 zone defense. I get that. You take what they give you, 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.680 but too many turnovers. The defense, not getting stopped the defense, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.880 not changing the momentum of the game, not taking the 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:49.560 football away in two games. These are all very significant concerns. Yeah, 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.360 I gotta agree with you, Dave. I think you hit 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.280 a lot of stuff with the nail. I mean the 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.600 hammer right on the nail there, man, I mean on 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.680 both sides of the football. I just see a football 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:04.600 team that doesn't look like they are clicking on all cylinders. Now. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.160 I don't know if it's because a lot of guys 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.280 miss training camp due to injuries or rest or what 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.000 have you. I'm not making an excuse. I just see 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.120 sloppy play out there on the field on both sides 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.120 of the football. You touched on a lot of that. 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.600 And what you just said, whether it was miscommunication on 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.400 the defensive side, guy's eyes in the wrong place, not 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.520 being disciplined. Things they seemingly did well last week but 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.080 didn't do well this week against this Rams offense where 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.440 you really have to be disciplined on defense with your assignments, 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.320 and on the offense lack of explosiveness, and the quarterback 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.080 for two straight weeks not being a true difference maker 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.320 in a positive manner. You can easily tell why the 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.040 team is owing two. There are a lot of things 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.400 to point to over two weeks where this team needs 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:58.360 to improve. I will say the offensive line after last week, 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.080 did a nice job us back this week. Yeah. Hey, 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.079 I got a couple of questions for you. Number One, 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.520 we all thought coming into the season if the Eagles 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:10.000 would be in a great position having the coaching staff 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.520 coming back intact. That has not proven to be the case. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:13.720 I'd like you to come in. I'm that in just 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.360 a moment. And then it was today an example of 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.800 Sean McVeigh going after the Eagles linebackers, Tyler Higby three 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.560 touchdown catches for a tight end runs directly into the 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.079 middle of the Eagles defense, Darryl Henderson breaking it big. 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:34.640 Do you feel like McVeigh went after the Eagles linebackers today, Yeah, 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.360 no doubt about it, man. I mean this is his 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.240 third time going up against Jim Schwartz, and even though 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.600 the Eagles have gone three and oz against Los Angeles, 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.120 Sean mcvay's offenses have been able to put numbers up 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:52.520 against this defense, and typically the Eagles play good run defense. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.880 That's bite. The biggest thing I was surprised with today 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.120 was that they didn't play solid run defense. I don't 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.640 know if his guy's not in the proper gap. I 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.240 think we're a little light Dave friend Amy on the 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.160 back end of this defense. When you look at the 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.480 back seven of his defense, where is the beef If 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.280 that defensive line doesn't do a great job of getting 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.400 off the offensive line and getting to the running back. 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.280 When you get to our back seven, where is the 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.880 Where is the size the strength to be able to 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.400 get off flocks and get ball carriers on the ground. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:30.880 Jalen Mills is he may be tough in nature, but 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.920 he's still one hundred and ninety pounds. And so when 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.040 you're going up against a guy like Malcolm Brown, a 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.440 guy who gets behind his shoulder pads and runs downhill, 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.320 he's gonna run through those arm tacklers. That's where Malcolm 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.520 Jenkins was very good at. We already know our linebackers 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.480 aren't very big, and then Rodney McLeod is not very 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.040 big either, So I look up the middle of our defense. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.000 We don't have much size there. And what I saw 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.199 today was that the Rams were able to get downhill 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.640 and really just outfiit go off front seven, and I 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.400 think that's a concern moving forward. And then finally, I 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.560 have a question for everybody. I mean, what's with the 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.760 Did the Eagles not expect Jared Goff to bootleg? Did 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.760 they not expect misdirection? I mean it was like it 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.240 was like, you know, he was just creating space the 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.079 entire first half before the Eagles made some kind of adjustment. 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.400 But guys, it looked to me like they had no 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.920 idea that these boots were coming, that this play action 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.880 bootleg game was coming. And that's what when you look 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.160 at that scheme and we're trying to move Goff off 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.520 of his spot, get him outside the pocket. Those are 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.000 the things that we talked about last week for the 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.240 Eagles with Carson Wentz against Washington, against that defensive line, 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.320 get him outside the pocket, get him away from that 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.360 pass rush. That's why when I look at this game 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.240 and I say, man like, no, you know, very little 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.960 pressure on Jared Goff. To me, that's more about mcveigh's 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.800 scheme and then what the positions that they were able 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.600 to put Jared Goff in. They constantly have him rolling 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.200 away from the pressure after a run fake, So the 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.360 defense is going after the back and he's going on, 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.480 and it's an easy throw. It's a high low read. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.439 If I throw, if this guy's open, I'm throwing it 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.240 to him. If not, it's going to a checkdown and 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.040 that guy's running for eight yards. Like it happened way 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.880 too often, time after time again. And then everything off 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.600 of that, Like again we talked about it on Eagles 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.840 game Plan. They run the play action, they go to 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.400 the boot and then they throw a screen to Cooper 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.800 Cup for thirty yards. They were dialing up all of 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:28.760 the right calls and the Eagles just had no answers. Yeah, 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.080 great points by everybody, a really great conversation. And just 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.960 to touch one more time on on Jared Goff's numbers. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.160 Completed twenty out of twenty seven passes and like we said, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.560 a thirteen out of thirteen start, seventy four percent, two 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.280 hundred and sixty seven yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, a 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.760 QB rating of one forty two, so absolutely an outstanding. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.720 This Eagles defense really made him look pretty good today. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.160 All right, Dave, we're going to let you go. I'm 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.280 really looking forward to listening to your podcast later for 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.640 continued analysis on this one. Thanks so much for joining us. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.840 All Right, Thank you guys. Tough one today here at 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:06.320 link at Financial Field than Field. Yeah, definitely, we are 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.320 all feeling it. I can only imagine how it feels 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.040 in there, and I'm definitely interested to see the press 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.319 conferences from coach Doug Peterston and from some of the 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.920 players which we will have live here. But let's continue 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:23.240 this conversation. Let's get to your takeaways. What's your first one? Well, 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.120 my first one, Amy, friend, this team got off to 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.880 a slow start. I thought, playing at home in their 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.440 first game in Lincoln Financial Field, they come out with 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.360 a little more energy, regardless if you have fans there 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.880 not the fact that you're planning your home stadium. You 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.080 got to be able to create some energy, and I 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.760 thought we came out flat. You know, Los Angeles is 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.880 the team that came from the West coast to the 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.440 East coast, and they're planning at one o'clock, which is 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.920 ten am on the West coast. That should be an 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.560 advantage for the Eagles. Instead, the Eagles seemed like the 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.480 team that wasn't awake at one o'clock when it was 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.000 time to kick the ball off and the Rams were 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.120 ready to go, I mean started to series of the game, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.280 you fumble the ball, and then it seemed like the 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:08.760 Eagles couldn't do anything defensively to slow down Jared Golf 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.120 and Sean McVay on that offensive side of the ball, 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.680 hitting Tyler Higbee time and time again, Cooper Cup on 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.560 third downs. Really, I mean, before the Eagles realized what 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.440 hit them, it was twenty one to three and the 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:27.320 first quarter was over with. I think that was a huge, 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.680 huge advantage for the Rams. They got off to a 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.000 fast start. The Eagles weren't ready to go and twenty 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.720 one to three. In this league, although it's not an 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:41.080 insurmountable lead, man, it is very difficult to come back 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.920 from that because you have to expand so much energy 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.840 with the defensive stops and offensively, you almost have to 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.240 be perfect just to get back in the game. And 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.200 I mean when the Eagles got within five points, they 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.240 weren't perfect on the play that they needed to be 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.520 perfect one and that was the throw to jj Arthega 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.520 whites Well. Carson just a little late there. He has 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.040 the ability to make that throw, just didn't make an 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.240 accurate throw, and that really took the wind out of 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.960 the sail for this team. Slow start that they couldn't 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:16.720 overcome Amy and for him, well, I can. When you 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.040 talk about, you know, that deficit at the beginning, that 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.600 slow start, and then they start getting a little bit 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.240 momentum heading into the half, they're able to capitalize on 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.920 that turnover start on the opposing eleven yard line, turned 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.600 that into a touchdown. Go into halftime, Rams get the ball. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.920 They forced it three and out and they're driving down 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.800 the field. I'm thinking, okay, this is going My fairytale 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.280 brain says, this is going to be exactly like last 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.680 week's game, but in the other direction. And then of 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.560 course there was that killer interception into the end zone 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.120 that Carson wentz through right where there was that opportunity 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.680 to really build some momentum. It seemed like every time 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.200 for him they started to get a little bit of momentum, 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.320 there was a costly error that just took the wind 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.240 out of their sales. And it's not one consistent issue, 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.960 as it very rarely is in football, right, It's very 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:01.600 rare that we get sit back and say, all right, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.920 it was this consistent theme that lost in the game. 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.080 You know, on that interception, you know, without watching the 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.280 film and just seeing the angles they showed us on TV. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.160 It seemed like he's rolling to his left and he's 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.639 got a couple of receivers out of his disposal on 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.800 that play side, and that backside post is almost like, 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.439 you know, throw, you know, break glass in case of 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.280 emergency kind of throw. Now again, it's like when we 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.840 talked about with Carson holding onto the football with those 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.280 sacks last week. You like the aggressiveness. You like a 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.439 guy that is willing to pull the trigger on that 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.280 tough throw down the field where maybe you don't necessarily 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.080 need it, but it has that chance to be a 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.760 huge play. But it's got to be a perfect throw 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.159 in that scenario, and in that scenario it wasn't, and 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.439 obviously it gets picked off, you know, and even if 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.520 it wasn't picked off, JJ is gonna take a huge 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.320 shot from the safety coming back across the field as well, 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.760 So you know, either way, it didn't seem like it 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.120 was going to be a positive play for the Eagles there. 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.399 And as you guys mentioned, you guys have used the 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.560 term took to the wind right out of the sales 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.639 of that Eagles offense. Only a field goal in the 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.240 last two quarters of play after that strong finish to 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.000 the first half, they seem to have some momentum. They 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:08.800 come out, they get that three and out. Maybe just 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:10.879 like you said, it seemed like, all right, we're getting 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.200 back into the groove of this thing. Is the wheels 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:19.360 fell off. And I just want to mention Carson Wentz's 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.000 stat line at twenty six forty three, but really the 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.520 two hundred and forty two yards completed sixty percent a 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.400 QB rating of fifty six point five. But the big 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.560 number here is the two interceptions, and now he has 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:35.480 four in two games, when last season he had seven combined. 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.840 So definitely, I haven't seen this version of Carson before, ike, 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:45.200 have you? No, No, I mean not since his rookie 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.439 year where he threw I believe, fourteen interceptions. It's the 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.760 only year he's throwing double digit interceptions. We know right now, 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.480 this crazy pace, he's on his way to throwing thirty 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.840 two interceptions this year. You're in Jami's Winston country here. 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:02.960 Nobody throws thirty interceptions in the season. But in all seriousness, 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.919 it's something that he needs to get corrected. When he 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.280 typically has to force the issue or he feels the 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:14.760 need to force the issue. That's where interceptions come. You 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:18.159 look at most of his interceptions after his rookie season, 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.520 they've come in games where they eiven either have been 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.480 down or he's trying to make a play where there 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.479 isn't a play to be made. And that's something that 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.000 we don't typically see from Carson. It just creeps his 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.280 head up every now and then. I certainly hope Amy 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.840 and Fraying that this is not a trend for the 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.160 twenty twenty season, because you can't win many football games 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:45.200 if your quarterback is turning the ball over. Well, everybody 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.120 hopes it's not a trend. And I don't know how 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.600 a team, let the Bronco Buck is feeling about this 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.520 right now. Maybe we need maybe there needs to be 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.520 a little bit more of a rain on the Bronco 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:59.840 right now. But let's get to your next takeaway. Yeah, 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:01.840 no doubt about that, Amy. We got the pull him 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:06.200 backing and pull him in. Um My second take takeaway 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:10.639 is the defense today? Um. I thought the defense really 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.639 put the team overall in the hole by night, not 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.240 being able to get off the field on third down. 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.080 I think at one point the Rams were either seven 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.240 for seven or eight for eight on third down conversions. 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.879 We talked about Jared Golf getting off for on a 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:30.960 thirteen for thirteen completion. Uh, he was never rattled until 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.640 late in that first half. They didn't get any pressure 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.679 on him big place things that we aren't all right. 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.480 I hate to cut you off, but we have head 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.240 coach Doug Peterson ready for his press conference. Here's the 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:46.880 who and then Paul Donald They Doug, you don't turn 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:51.120
