Speaker 1: After railing eleven points with just six minutes to go,
Speaker 1: the Eagles make it happen tonight Boston Scott with the
Speaker 1: eighteen yard touchdown reception after the Eagles getting the ball
Speaker 1: back with two minutes and eight seconds to go. The
Speaker 1: Eagles win twenty two twenty one, and my heart is
Speaker 1: in my throat. Everybody. Welcome to the Postgame Show presented
Speaker 1: by Rico. I'm Amy Campbell, joined by Fran Duffie and
Speaker 1: Ike Grease and guys. Every week we sit in here
Speaker 1: and we watch the game and we are very restless,
Speaker 1: wondering what is going to happen as the Eagles have
Speaker 1: a chance to win today they get the win. Ike,
Speaker 1: let me start with you, how are you feeling well?
Speaker 1: You know how? I am Amy and friend. I basically
Speaker 1: have woke up all the dogs in the house. The
Speaker 1: kids are awake now because the end of that game.
Speaker 1: I could not contain my excitement. What a roller coaster
Speaker 1: ride this game was. I mean, it started off looking
Speaker 1: like the Eagles we're gonna be able to do what
Speaker 1: they wanted to do offensively and defensively, and then a
Speaker 1: typical fashion for the twenty twenty Philadelphia Eagles, there was
Speaker 1: a stall in between the second third in the middle
Speaker 1: of that fourth quarter. But then they pull out a
Speaker 1: dramatic win. You just mentioned it, Amy, going down by
Speaker 1: eleven points with a little over six minutes to go,
Speaker 1: Giants had just driven ninety seven yards what looked like
Speaker 1: a back breaking drive touchdown drive for the Giants. Man,
Speaker 1: what resilience this offense, Carson Wentz, I mean, man, being
Speaker 1: led by this kid. After struggling for about two quarters
Speaker 1: there to get the ball in the end zone, those
Speaker 1: final two draws from Carson Wentz just masterful, being able
Speaker 1: to move the ball down the field and get the
Speaker 1: two touchdowns that was needed. Man, I don't know what
Speaker 1: else to say. Just uh, just just just uh. I
Speaker 1: guess I can go in and exhale. We needed this
Speaker 1: w tonight. I would not wanted to have done this
Speaker 1: postgame show with a tough loss to the Giants. But
Speaker 1: the Eagles they find a way to pull it out,
Speaker 1: and who would have thought? Guys, can you believe it?
Speaker 1: At least for a few days, the Eagles are in
Speaker 1: first place once again this year. Unbelievable East that is
Speaker 1: a wild brand. A huge win tonight, of course against
Speaker 1: a division opponent first place in the NFC East at
Speaker 1: two four and one. That is this year for you,
Speaker 1: right there are still in it, very much still in it,
Speaker 1: and a resilient performance to say the least tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's what you want is at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, you want this team to be
Speaker 1: able to get those ws because you know, no one
Speaker 1: will remember in December that the win in mid October
Speaker 1: was an ugly win, right, because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, this was a really rough performance, especially offensively
Speaker 1: defensively giving up some of those drives late in the game,
Speaker 1: even the one late that final touchdown, I mean, that
Speaker 1: was a backbreaking drive. So for the offense and the
Speaker 1: defense to bounce back after that come away with this
Speaker 1: victory for sure, that I mean, that is something that
Speaker 1: you can build off of moving forward. You've got the
Speaker 1: mini buy here this weekend, you got the full weekend off.
Speaker 1: Hopefully this team can start to get healthy and start
Speaker 1: to build off of that. Look, this was not a
Speaker 1: pretty win, hobeyus. There's a lot that they will need
Speaker 1: to improve on coming out of this matchup. But like
Speaker 1: I said at the beginning, there's no such thing as
Speaker 1: an ugly win in the NFL. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you get the w you move on to
Speaker 1: next week. You start to build off that moving forward
Speaker 1: as you try and hold on to this lead here
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. So of course, this score here
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily tell the full story, as it rarely does. Frand,
Speaker 1: like you said, let's look at the offensive numbers here.
Speaker 1: A lot of offense for this Eagles team four hundred
Speaker 1: and forty two yards and they controlled the cloth thirty
Speaker 1: two minutes compared to the Giants twenty seven twenty two
Speaker 1: in the first half, though the Eagles dominated, the time
Speaker 1: of possession, twenty minutes in the first half belonged to
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and yet it was still close at the half.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure a lot for them to build on
Speaker 1: from this. But ninety six rushing yards for the Eagles
Speaker 1: run game not working as much tonight, ike without Miles
Speaker 1: Standers as they would have hoped. But Boston Scott man
Speaker 1: something about him against the Giants. Of course he got it.
Speaker 1: He had the game winning touchdown there through the air,
Speaker 1: but also a big contributor on the ground as well tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles continue the tradition versus this New
Speaker 1: York Giants team which is having a giant killer on
Speaker 1: the roster is when it's been b West in the past,
Speaker 1: and now it seems like his Boston Scott. In his
Speaker 1: three games versus the Giants, you're looking at roughly over
Speaker 1: three hundred yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns and just
Speaker 1: three games versus the Giants. For Boston Scott, you know,
Speaker 1: it was tough sledding trying to run the football. I
Speaker 1: think it had more to do with the offensive line
Speaker 1: and their inability to be able to establish the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and get some push up front. They look
Speaker 1: very good on that first drive in the first half,
Speaker 1: and then after that you didn't have much success running
Speaker 1: the football until those final two drives of the game
Speaker 1: where you may have caught the Giants expecting a passing
Speaker 1: play and the Eagles were able to hit them with
Speaker 1: some draws. And like you said, getting Boston Scott behind
Speaker 1: that huge offensive line, it just makes it difficult to
Speaker 1: see him. And he has a knack for staying low
Speaker 1: to the ground and I like his toughness when running
Speaker 1: the football. He rarely goes down with first contact. Any
Speaker 1: nice to spin off of would be tacklers. So you know,
Speaker 1: Boston Scott once again showing that his worth to the
Speaker 1: team may not necessarily show up in a statue, but
Speaker 1: when you're needing, particularly against this team, he knows how
Speaker 1: to come through for you in the clutch. When he
Speaker 1: was the team's top rusher tonight with forty six yards
Speaker 1: on the ground and then another forty six and the
Speaker 1: touchdown through the air. So pretty solid night for Boston Scott.
Speaker 1: Fran Ike mentioned the offensive line. This is a unit
Speaker 1: that we saw struggle tonight, save that first drive where
Speaker 1: the Eagles went right down the field scored a touchdown,
Speaker 1: but they continue to struggle. Lane Johnson kind of in
Speaker 1: and out of this game. Carson Wentz, I think he
Speaker 1: gets so much credit here for continuing to battle despite
Speaker 1: being hit ten quarterback hits that the Giants had three sacks,
Speaker 1: and he just continues to fight to elude the pass rush,
Speaker 1: to elude the guys who are in his face and
Speaker 1: give this team a chance to win. I think he
Speaker 1: gets a lot of credit tonight. I think he smoothed
Speaker 1: over a lot of other weaknesses. Yeah, I mean, he
Speaker 1: certainly gets credit for what he did, especially on that
Speaker 1: those final couple drives and leading the team to victory. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he's got to clean up some of those things too,
Speaker 1: because he had some negative plays of his own. Obviously
Speaker 1: that interception, He had a couple of other negative plays
Speaker 1: that could have been interceptions. He ran into a couple
Speaker 1: of sacks. There was the intentional grounding penalty as well,
Speaker 1: where the ball's got to come out. I think there
Speaker 1: were things for him to clean up in this game.
Speaker 1: But as you mentioned the Eagles, you know they're not
Speaker 1: playing with a full deck right now, right I mean
Speaker 1: you look at what they're missing from a skill position standpoint.
Speaker 1: Once again, another offensive line combination that they're still trying
Speaker 1: to figure out. You got a lot of young pieces
Speaker 1: playing upfront, so still trying to figure things out. But
Speaker 1: I think ultimately, when you look at the performance with
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, resiliency is a great word to be able
Speaker 1: to use his ability to fight through that adversity. It's
Speaker 1: not always going to be pretty. This one certainly was not.
Speaker 1: But the ability to come out and finish strong is
Speaker 1: certainly a quality that you want from your starting quarterback,
Speaker 1: end from your whole team. We know the quarterback sets
Speaker 1: the pulse of the entire roster. Absolutely. Well, I have
Speaker 1: a long list of takeaways here, but I'm going to
Speaker 1: start with you because this is your segment in the
Speaker 1: postgame show. Let's get to your takeaways. What's the first
Speaker 1: one you want to talk about tonight. Well, let me
Speaker 1: get the one negative takeaway out of the way, just
Speaker 1: because I can't. I know it's a victory, but I
Speaker 1: can't overlook some of the things that that Frand just
Speaker 1: touched on. As it pertains to Carson playing the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: I thought at times in that first half there were
Speaker 1: opportunities there that he missed on. And you certainly can't
Speaker 1: force the issue, you know, against a team like the
Speaker 1: New York Giants, you have to be patient. You can't
Speaker 1: force the issue, and when you're in scoring range, you
Speaker 1: have to make sure, at a bare minimum, you walk
Speaker 1: away with at least a field goal attempt. And that
Speaker 1: interception in the first half to Bradberry was just a
Speaker 1: play that Carson Wentz can't make. He's been around this
Speaker 1: game far too long, He's had far too much success,
Speaker 1: and that was just a moment where he had a
Speaker 1: lapse in judgment and really went back to playing hero ball,
Speaker 1: and it really could have turned out to hurt the
Speaker 1: team late in this game. If they didn't pull out
Speaker 1: this victory, that would have been the play everyone was
Speaker 1: talking about. He has to do a better job of
Speaker 1: just eliminating those types of plays from his game. I
Speaker 1: can take the overthrows because the quarterbacks are going to misthrows,
Speaker 1: and when you're hit as much as he's hit, I
Speaker 1: think at times you're gonna see ghosts in the pocket
Speaker 1: and leave the pocket when you're not supposed to. I
Speaker 1: can accept that, but I can't accept the throw that
Speaker 1: he tried to make the John High Tower when you're
Speaker 1: in scoring range and you need points there. He has
Speaker 1: to clean that up. So I wanted to get that
Speaker 1: takeaway out of the way first because that's something that
Speaker 1: I know Doug and even Carson himself will be thinking
Speaker 1: about tonight, and I'm glad he bounced back from it.
Speaker 1: But those are the types of plays if this team
Speaker 1: is gonna have any chance of going on any type
Speaker 1: of win streak, he has to find a way to
Speaker 1: get those out of his game. He does far too
Speaker 1: many good things to have those type of plays still
Speaker 1: be in his game. Yeah, I think I think that's
Speaker 1: a great point, and we know, when these guys watched
Speaker 1: the film. Yes, we're excited now they got the win,
Speaker 1: but when they watched the film, they're going to see
Speaker 1: things that they want to improve on, that they think
Speaker 1: they could have done better, and points that were left
Speaker 1: out there. That was actually one of my categories with
Speaker 1: points that were left out there. We're talking about a
Speaker 1: red zone interception, a red zone failed fourth down and
Speaker 1: Boston Scott actually is about to address the media. He's
Speaker 1: at the podium, so let's take a look. Hey Boston,
Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time today. We'll get started with
Speaker 1: bow Wolf and then Dave Zangarrow Boston, I guess to
Speaker 1: take us through that touchdown the game when he play
Speaker 1: what's you know, what's the play called? What's your route?
Speaker 1: And you know, did you expect the ball to come
Speaker 1: to you there? Uh? I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I could say the play called, but you know, I
Speaker 1: mean I just checked my protection and then after that
Speaker 1: I got out into space. You know, I knew throughout
Speaker 1: the game we have been running, you know, short routes
Speaker 1: into the flat kind of and uh, Peppers was coming
Speaker 1: out with me into the flat pretty much every time.
Speaker 1: And on that one, you know, I just kind of
Speaker 1: set it up. And then again, I mean he went,
Speaker 1: he went to me, so that was cool. Even then,
Speaker 1: John McMullen in Boston, this is another big game for
Speaker 1: you against the Giants. What is it about playing these
Speaker 1: guys that seems to get you going so well? I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the next it's the next game.
Speaker 1: You know. I love playing football, so it doesn't really
Speaker 1: matter who it is, you know, I just like going
Speaker 1: out there and being able to contribute to the team. John,
Speaker 1: and then Rob Maddy, Hey Boston. Um, obviously you guys
Speaker 1: were down twenty one ten. What does it mean to
Speaker 1: show that resilience, resiliency and that the final five minutes
Speaker 1: to score two touchdowns? What does that too for the confidence? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just says a lot about this team. Like I
Speaker 1: said in past weeks, it's never been a matter of
Speaker 1: want to. It's never been a matter of effort. It's
Speaker 1: never been a matter of fight, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's just those little things that you know, have caused
Speaker 1: us to fall short. So you know, as long as
Speaker 1: we're you know, firing on all cylinders and dialed into
Speaker 1: the little things, you know, I don't think there's many
Speaker 1: teams that can really stop us. You know, we just
Speaker 1: have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot. And uh,
Speaker 1: as we're going to look back at the film, I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's you know, plenty of ways that we did that.
Speaker 1: But um, the guys never stopped fighting, and that's that's
Speaker 1: never gonna change. Boston. What was it like in the
Speaker 1: huddle when you guys are down eleven and Carson's trying
Speaker 1: to bring you guys back, and what does it say
Speaker 1: about his leadership? He made some throws that I'm sure
Speaker 1: he wishes he had back, But then at the end
Speaker 1: and crunch time, he made those throws and you make
Speaker 1: that catch at the end. Yeah, I mean, we never
Speaker 1: we never faltered man our mindset, you know, we would
Speaker 1: never like panicking or frustrated or whatever. We just knew.
Speaker 1: We just always knew that, you know, we're gonna find
Speaker 1: a way to win this game. And Carson led us,
Speaker 1: and you know, like I said, it was it was
Speaker 1: a great team effort and then d craps Hey, Boston,
Speaker 1: But how frustrating was it for you guys? I mean
Speaker 1: you were you know, you guys had I think four
Speaker 1: trips into the red zone and only got like three
Speaker 1: points out of it. You were down by eleven. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, what was the frustration level like at that point? Oh,
Speaker 1: like I said, I mean it was it obviously you
Speaker 1: know in the game there's ebbs and flows or whatever,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't say we were necessarily frustrated. Um, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: we don't really have time to be frustrated in this game. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, just just the mindset of this team
Speaker 1: has always been just continue fighting. You know, next play
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't think about, you know, the previous
Speaker 1: place and let it affect you for the rest of
Speaker 1: the game. So we flush it and we just keep fighting. Adam,
Speaker 1: Hey Boston, I jumped on late ice. I'm sorry. Were
Speaker 1: you asked to take us through that catch that you made? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah you were, Well, let me ask you this. Then
Speaker 1: it looked like it wasn't very easy to run the ball,
Speaker 1: But Doug stay committed to the run. I think over
Speaker 1: twenty attempts, how much does that mean to the offense
Speaker 1: to keep at it even if it's not having success. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was. Yeah, I mean good defense upfront. Uh,
Speaker 1: Kudosa down on that. Um, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: but it keeps him honest. So, uh, it was good
Speaker 1: Mike and Chris Murray Boston. You guys, if it's a
Speaker 1: lot of adversity this season, what does Doug Peterson do
Speaker 1: on a on a you know, play by play on
Speaker 1: a sideline moment? Uh? That keeps you guys together and
Speaker 1: not kind of questioning his play calling or what's going
Speaker 1: on in the game, et cetera. I mean, we're all
Speaker 1: close knit, man. We all know that it's it's never
Speaker 1: just one person's fault for anything. That's just the way
Speaker 1: that that's the nature of this game. And so you know,
Speaker 1: we're never gonna point the finger at one person, you know,
Speaker 1: because we know we're all in this together. You know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's a W or
Speaker 1: L and everybody takes that L or everybody takes that
Speaker 1: W and so we just we just as we face
Speaker 1: more adversity, we come closer together and we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna rock with whoever's there, no matter what. That's just
Speaker 1: that's that's our mo. We'll take one more here with
Speaker 1: Chris Murray. Um, Boston, can you talk about Carson's toughness tonight?
Speaker 1: I mean he was getting hit a lot, and he
Speaker 1: just kept getting up and just kept leading you guys downfield. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a tough dude, man, real tough dude. Man. He battles, Uh,
Speaker 1: day in and day out. Man. It's not just in
Speaker 1: the game, man, all throughout the week. Man. He's a
Speaker 1: true professional, true leader. Uh. He does what he's supposed
Speaker 1: to do. Man. And so his toughness is just his
Speaker 1: toughness is wild, you know. And I got a lot
Speaker 1: of respect for him. Thanks, Boston, Thank you. All right,
Speaker 1: Boston Scott saying we never faltered, we never paniced. Carson
Speaker 1: let us it was a true team win. Let's get
Speaker 1: back to your takeaways. But first, I just have to say,
Speaker 1: Boston Scott still got the pads on in this press
Speaker 1: conference tonight. He came straight out to talk to the people. Listen.
Speaker 1: Boston said, I got things to do, man, I gotta
Speaker 1: get up out here. You ain't gonna have me here
Speaker 1: all night. All right, let's get back to your takeaways.
Speaker 1: What Let's move to the positive the positive ones. Oh,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And it's the man of the hour.
Speaker 1: Carson wentz. I mean you gotta go straight to him
Speaker 1: and what he was able to do, his ability to
Speaker 1: continue to lead this team. It was great here and
Speaker 1: Boston Scott talked about what it was like being on
Speaker 1: the sideline as an offense with him, what it was
Speaker 1: like being in the huddle, and the fact that no
Speaker 1: one had wavered, no one's confidence had waned, that they
Speaker 1: still believed that they had an opportunity. And don't think
Speaker 1: for a minute that the play the way they played
Speaker 1: last week to end that game versus Baltimore didn't play
Speaker 1: a part in the end of this game. And the
Speaker 1: fact that these guys knew that if they could just
Speaker 1: get a positive player two going, they would have the
Speaker 1: ability to come back in this game. And it started
Speaker 1: with number eleven. Again, his confidence never seemed to be shaken.
Speaker 1: I know he was frustrated, but the fact that he
Speaker 1: kept plugging away and I love the throw to John
Speaker 1: high Tower, man. I mean, he came back to what
Speaker 1: seemed like the same play that he and high Tower
Speaker 1: couldn't connect on last week versus Baltimore. They connected this week.
Speaker 1: And I love the way he continues to show confidence
Speaker 1: in these young guys. He realizes he's gonna need them
Speaker 1: if this offense is gonna have any success and no
Speaker 1: matter what happens if they drop a pass, if he
Speaker 1: overthrows them. I love the communication and connection between he
Speaker 1: and his offensive receivers and tight ends. I mean Richard
Speaker 1: Rogers tonight. I never thought Richard Rogers would have the
Speaker 1: ability to catch eight balls for eighty five yards. He
Speaker 1: was a huge target for Carson Wentz tonight. But yeah,
Speaker 1: just the way Carson has been able to lead this
Speaker 1: team the last two games, particularly to a victory this week,
Speaker 1: I think it just continues to show everyone that you
Speaker 1: just gotta hang in there with him. It may not
Speaker 1: be pretty for four quarters, but this guy is a
Speaker 1: fighter and if there is a chance that you that
Speaker 1: you can win a football game, he's gonna be there
Speaker 1: to try to see it through. And that's all you
Speaker 1: can ask for as a teammate, and that's all you
Speaker 1: can should you should ask for as a fan base,
Speaker 1: is you want a guy that's going to go out
Speaker 1: there and fight to the end and give you a
Speaker 1: chance to win. I think that's a great point. And
Speaker 1: looking at the statuet here, ten different players caught passes
Speaker 1: tonight from Carson Wentz. You mentioned Richard Rodgers. He was
Speaker 1: the team's leading receiver eighty five. John high Tower one
Speaker 1: catch tonight fifty nine yards. A lot to be excited
Speaker 1: about there, And of course, Travis Fulgham again a go
Speaker 1: to guy for Carson Wentz, caught five passes on eleven
Speaker 1: targets seventy three yards. I feel like I could talk
Speaker 1: for a long time about all three of those guys,
Speaker 1: But fran let's talk about some of those. You know,
Speaker 1: Carson spreading the ball around to a lot of different guys,
Speaker 1: different guys stepping up in the place of injured players
Speaker 1: stepping up to contribute in Carson Wentz leading the way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great stat that he threw passes
Speaker 1: to ten different receivers tonight. I know, coming into the
Speaker 1: week per NFL research, he had thrown passes to more
Speaker 1: receivers than anybody in the entire NFL. So you just
Speaker 1: talk about the turnover that the Eagles have had on
Speaker 1: offense throughout the course of the season with all the
Speaker 1: guys in and out of the lineup, But I think
Speaker 1: when you look at Carson, it's kind of ironic. This
Speaker 1: week on the Journey of the Draft podcast, we talked
Speaker 1: about a performance from Carson when he was at North
Speaker 1: Dakota State with Eagles area scout Sean Heinland, and it
Speaker 1: was a game against Northern Iowa where he did not
Speaker 1: play well. In that game, he did not have his
Speaker 1: best game. He had a couple of turnovers, he missed
Speaker 1: some throws, but he came back two minute drive led
Speaker 1: them to win the football game against Northern Iowa. And
Speaker 1: that was a game that stuck with that scout Sean Hyland,
Speaker 1: about you know, Jared, think a little simpler, be a
Speaker 1: little clearer. We joked that our show was super clean
Speaker 1: because we were just a little more focus at a
Speaker 1: little less time to kind of get in our heads
Speaker 1: too much. It seemed like, I think that's a great
Speaker 1: correlation that I brought up that that first drive. Look,
Speaker 1: they came out, they had a great game plan, ready
Speaker 1: to go to Sean Jackson has a couple of catches,
Speaker 1: and they end up with seven points. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think it also will guys point to some of the
Speaker 1: stats that really matter at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: because as much as they dominated, it was still a
Speaker 1: three point game going into the locker room. So I
Speaker 1: think when you look at it, the lack of success
Speaker 1: in the red zone. That's an important stat that's an
Speaker 1: important area of the game, and that's why the Eagles
Speaker 1: spend so much time on situational football. You talk about
Speaker 1: third down, you talk about red zone. You have to
Speaker 1: be able to win in those money downs, in those
Speaker 1: situations in order to really take control of a game.
Speaker 1: So I think when you look at what the Eagles
Speaker 1: were able to do, it was great that they were
Speaker 1: able to control the football, control the clock. But you
Speaker 1: know when they gave the ball back to New York,
Speaker 1: New York went one play and scored doing Golden Tate
Speaker 1: scores that touchdown, and that really kind of flips it
Speaker 1: and gives New York a little bit of momentum, keeps
Speaker 1: that game tight. The Eagles going out of this one,
Speaker 1: they've got to be better in the red zone and
Speaker 1: that had not been really an issue for them throughout
Speaker 1: the course of the season, but they have to get
Speaker 1: better in the red zone moving forward coming out of
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, that's a great point, and I was
Speaker 1: mentioning it earlier when Boston Scott joined us that when
Speaker 1: they look back at this film, I think they're going
Speaker 1: to see that they're worse. Some points left out there.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the failed fourth down attempt in the red zone,
Speaker 1: the red zone interception from Carson Wentz, and then what
Speaker 1: shook me to my core was Jake Elliott missing a
Speaker 1: twenty nine yard field goal. I hope he's doing okay,
Speaker 1: I've I've never seen anything like this from him, but
Speaker 1: that's a decent amount of points left out there, and
Speaker 1: I think this team is going to want to address us, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, Amy. I mean this, had they not won
Speaker 1: this game, I don't know if anybody would have slept
Speaker 1: tonight that plays for the Eagles or that's on that
Speaker 1: coaching staff, because you can't dominate a team like they
Speaker 1: did in the first half and only be ahead by
Speaker 1: three points. And I mean they dominated them both offensively
Speaker 1: and defensively in that first half and was only ahead
Speaker 1: ten to seven. Those are the type of things they
Speaker 1: keep you up all night. And I think not having
Speaker 1: Zach Erst and Dallas Goddard out there as part of
Speaker 1: this red zone package, you really noticed that tonight because
Speaker 1: they typically are a good red zone football team, but
Speaker 1: without their top two tight ends to be able to
Speaker 1: get the ball to it seemed like Carson wasn't decisive
Speaker 1: and where he wanted to go with the football. They
Speaker 1: tried to find some mismatches with the new kid Buckner
Speaker 1: and Carson couldn't hook up with Fogum twice in the
Speaker 1: red zone. But Carson likes to throw the ball over
Speaker 1: the middle of the field in that red zone, and
Speaker 1: it's usually to Zach Erst or Dallas Goddard, and I
Speaker 1: think that's what we saw tonight. They just weren't necessarily
Speaker 1: comfortable down there with the offense. I mean, with the
Speaker 1: quarterback in the receivers. Fran I want to get your take,
Speaker 1: actually both of your takes, but we'll start with you Frans.
Speaker 1: So you know, we talk about this defense. I was
Speaker 1: expecting to see a dominant defensive performance against statistically one
Speaker 1: of the worst offenses in the league, and it felt like,
Speaker 1: especially in the second half, the Giants were able to
Speaker 1: move the ball pretty well. Did they just start clicking? Like,
Speaker 1: what did they do that allowed them to suddenly start
Speaker 1: moving the ball so well on this Eagles defense. I mean,
Speaker 1: you get the ninety yard run for sure by Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1: I mean that kind of flips it in terms of
Speaker 1: giving them a big play that puts them into I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you have one of those breakdowns and that
Speaker 1: that obviously will add to that yardage. The bigger one
Speaker 1: was the ninety seven yard touchdown drive the I could
Speaker 1: reference earlier. I mean, that was the one that was
Speaker 1: kind of backbreaking. You had a third and eight where
Speaker 1: they able to get eight yards. You had a third
Speaker 1: and seven where they're able to get seven yards. Those
Speaker 1: are the ones where it's like you get off the
Speaker 1: field there one of three or four chances, and now
Speaker 1: you keep the seven points off the board. You keep
Speaker 1: that game close. Obviously it didn't at the end of
Speaker 1: the game that you was were able to come back
Speaker 1: and win. But that's the it's those kind of drives
Speaker 1: that you don't expect to necessarily happen. That's why Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson feels confidence. Friend, I hate to interrupt you, but
Speaker 1: Jalen Mills is ready to speak to the media. Let's listen. Hey, Jalen,
Speaker 1: thanks for taking a time. We'll get started here with
Speaker 1: Jeff McLean and then John Clark. John when um, when
Speaker 1: when you guys squired an offense to narrow the lead
Speaker 1: to five, I think it was what was the defensive
Speaker 1: you know, attitude heading back on the field, knowing you
Speaker 1: had to stop them again. Yeah. I mean we all
Speaker 1: huddled up, you know, sorts kind of talk to us
Speaker 1: and you know, basically like, hey, it's gonna come down
Speaker 1: to us, you know, getting one more stop, if we
Speaker 1: have two, getting two more stops, you know, giving the
Speaker 1: offense to Bob because they were starting to click. And
Speaker 1: I mean that was That's what happened. In the end
Speaker 1: result is you know, now we're number one NFCS John
Speaker 1: Clarkin and Paul Domich Hey, Jalen Uh. After the defense
Speaker 1: gave up that long touchdown drive I think it was
Speaker 1: ninety seven yards and then Carson is able to leave
Speaker 1: the offense on those two long drives. What have you
Speaker 1: seen from your quarterback these last two fourth quarters Sunday
Speaker 1: and tonight. Um, adversity doesn't phaze him. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day. He trust the guys around him to
Speaker 1: make plays and he trusting himself as well. Um. I
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing with Carson is, UM, he's getting
Speaker 1: more consistent and knowing that we're gonna play tight games.
Speaker 1: And UM, he's, like I said, he's gonna trust the
Speaker 1: guys around him. Okay, you hear me, Yep, You're good now.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I want me to repeat that. Could you
Speaker 1: we lost your audio? Sorry, Jalen, Yeah, I said nothing.
Speaker 1: That he trust the guys around him and he trusting himself.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been playing tight games and U I
Speaker 1: mean just knowing that the guys around him and he's
Speaker 1: our leader, that he's gonna keep doing his thing. Paul
Speaker 1: Don and then E. J. Smith, Hey, Jalen, I know
Speaker 1: you didn't see bgs strip sack, but you know, Hu
Speaker 1: I said, I've seen it. I thought you would be
Speaker 1: covering your man and have your head back to it anyway.
Speaker 1: I mean, you needed a big play, then you needed
Speaker 1: a big play three years ago and that Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and then BG seems to to give you one when
Speaker 1: you needed one. Uh. Talk about what he means to
Speaker 1: the defense. That's one of the reasons why BG is
Speaker 1: a captain on his team, a leader on his team,
Speaker 1: because he is a guy who just goes out there
Speaker 1: and does his job. He's not a guy who's trying
Speaker 1: to force plays. He lets the plays come to him,
Speaker 1: and just for some reason, he always a guy who
Speaker 1: comes up clutching a fourth quarter for us. We have
Speaker 1: time for two more and we'll get coaching here. So
Speaker 1: we'll go EJ and then Martin. Hey, Jalen, could you
Speaker 1: just walk us through the interception you made. Um, you
Speaker 1: know what did you see on that player? What you
Speaker 1: remember from it? Yeah, it was we were we were
Speaker 1: in kind of a bluff coverage. UM. I was looking
Speaker 1: at the quarterback. I've seen he gave Ingram some type
Speaker 1: of hand signal. Um knew that, of course, you know
Speaker 1: he was checking to him. Um just got a really
Speaker 1: good dropping coverage. UM, I mean he dropped the ball
Speaker 1: and you know, just ran on the ball and made
Speaker 1: the interception. Go ahead Martin and Joan, Um, I'm Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones's eighty yard run. What kind of what was kind
Speaker 1: of like the breakdown there? What did you say? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: we he's a guy like he's the leading Russian man.
Speaker 1: Um kind of got a got a clue in on him.
Speaker 1: He didn't have any keeps, you know, our game, and
Speaker 1: I mean they just got a good call at the
Speaker 1: right time. So I mean you just gotta tip your
Speaker 1: head off or they had a good one one time
Speaker 1: for the bad guys. So thanks, Jalen, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Hey coach, thanks, we're taking a time. We'll get started
Speaker 1: here with bow Wolf and then Dave zan Garrow, Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Hey, Doug, what did you what did you
Speaker 1: make of Carson's performance tonight? Um? Man, I thought he
Speaker 1: hung in there. I thought he battled um face of
Speaker 1: adversity down a couple of scores there in the in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and and and really hung in there.
Speaker 1: And you know it wasn't Um. You know, maybe on
Speaker 1: the stat sheet things look good, but but there's some
Speaker 1: there's some throws, and there's some decisions. I think he
Speaker 1: would want back. But I'll tell you what he's he's
Speaker 1: he's he's the leader of our team for a reason.
Speaker 1: And you saw that tonight, uh leading our team down
Speaker 1: there to uh to get that uh you know, the
Speaker 1: two two scores late in the game. But Um, overall
Speaker 1: hung in there, played tough again tonight even then John
Speaker 1: McMahon it, Doug, what's your anxiety level like watching Carson
Speaker 1: take those heads? And are you confident that he's going
Speaker 1: to be able to make the plays even despite some
Speaker 1: of the breakdowns in past protection Yeah, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't want your quarterback to to be hit. You know,
Speaker 1: the amount of times he has here in the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but again we're playing we're playing some
Speaker 1: good fronts and and uh, you know, we gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta figure out and do a better job of protecting him.
Speaker 1: And then he has to do a better job too,
Speaker 1: either throwing the ball away or trying to escape with
Speaker 1: his legs. But um, you know, we know there's going
Speaker 1: to be a hit a time or two and that's
Speaker 1: part of playing quarterback. And he's a tough guy and
Speaker 1: he's hanging in there. John McMullan, and then Zach Berman, Hey, Doug,
Speaker 1: looks like you were clicking early with tempo. Uh, and
Speaker 1: then things slowed down until about six minutes left in
Speaker 1: the game. What do you think, Uh, what do you
Speaker 1: think kick started the offense? And what do you think
Speaker 1: were some of those red zone issues in the in
Speaker 1: the middle of the game. Well, um, the red zone
Speaker 1: is something we got to look at. You know, this
Speaker 1: is the first game where we we we struggled a
Speaker 1: little bit in the red zone and um, we you know, listen,
Speaker 1: credit the guys. We got down there a few times
Speaker 1: and um, you know it's one of the things you
Speaker 1: can't do when you're down there's obviously turned the ball over,
Speaker 1: can't have sacks can't have penalties, and we had. We
Speaker 1: had a little bit of all those tonight, and yet
Speaker 1: we were still able to overcome it. We're gonna take
Speaker 1: a look at it over the weekend and and um,
Speaker 1: you know I'll be better there back and then Jeff McClean, Hey, Doug,
Speaker 1: after Jason Kelsey's penalty pushes you back to first and
Speaker 1: eighteen there or first and goal from the eighteen, what
Speaker 1: were the plan there as as far as the play
Speaker 1: calling and and did you want to get it all
Speaker 1: in one play on on that past the Boston Scott, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the goal was to ultimately score. We had
Speaker 1: to score the touchdown, and I believe we still had
Speaker 1: the two time outs, so we had plenty of plenty
Speaker 1: of time. Um, and uh, you know obviously had field position,
Speaker 1: so the actual down and distance didn't matter at the time.
Speaker 1: I mean it was still first down. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: we were gonna use use our timehouse when when necessary. Um,
Speaker 1: and our guys overcame it and Boston they finished off
Speaker 1: that drive with a great throw, great catch. Um. I
Speaker 1: mean it's a great way to end a great way
Speaker 1: to end that drive. Jeff and then Lass Doug speaking
Speaker 1: of overcoming you guys. Ever came that fourth down play
Speaker 1: Um on the on the fifth corner, shade to Keen Butler,
Speaker 1: was he was he the read there? The first read there.
Speaker 1: Can you describe what went into your thinking on that play? Um?
Speaker 1: You know, initially he was going he was heading to
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the field, and when he got
Speaker 1: back over to the right side of the field or
Speaker 1: the right side of the formation, he was uncovered. And
Speaker 1: when we snapped the ball, the defender UM had gotten
Speaker 1: back over there just in enough time to really knock
Speaker 1: the ball away. He he he's a big athletic guy,
Speaker 1: and we put that play in specifically for him, and
Speaker 1: and Um the Giants made a play Lass and then
Speaker 1: Nick Fierro, Hey, Doug, it looked like for so long
Speaker 1: there in the second half, your offense was totally stifled,
Speaker 1: and then once you're down eleven, it sprung to live.
Speaker 1: What happened there? Did you change what you were did
Speaker 1: you make some different play calls? Was it? Uh? You
Speaker 1: know what happened to make this to get the offense
Speaker 1: back in gear? I mean, you know we always evaluate, um,
Speaker 1: you know between series, how how you know a defense
Speaker 1: is defending? And you know we make some subtle adjustments
Speaker 1: and and try to put some guys in position. This
Speaker 1: is all part of you know, part of the you know,
Speaker 1: part of game planning and part of in game adjustments.
Speaker 1: And we were able to do that. We knew once
Speaker 1: we got down, you know, the two scores, we were
Speaker 1: going to be in two minute mode anyway, and and
Speaker 1: our guys just made some plays. We made a deep
Speaker 1: throw there to Um, you know, to John hight Tower
Speaker 1: that helped us eventually score, and Um made made a
Speaker 1: couple of other nice throws. Rich Rod, you know, came
Speaker 1: up big for us on a scramble play. And you
Speaker 1: know that's just you're just gonna need some of that stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, UM, when you're in that situation. But we
Speaker 1: were in two minute mode anyway, with about six or
Speaker 1: seven minutes to go in the game, UM, knowing we
Speaker 1: were down two scores, just to get us back in
Speaker 1: the game, Nick and then John Clark, all right, Doug,
Speaker 1: you had two guys that came back from injuries today
Speaker 1: that got injured again with new injuries to Sean Lane Johnson,
Speaker 1: two big parts of your offense. How does your team
Speaker 1: react to so many injuries like that? Do you have
Speaker 1: any kind of update on us them. I don't have
Speaker 1: any updates right now. UM, probably get more tomorrow or
Speaker 1: at least through the weekend, you know, with with some
Speaker 1: some time off for the players this weekend. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's really good to get those two
Speaker 1: guys back. And and um, you know Deshaun was was
Speaker 1: active in the game early and and um you know,
Speaker 1: try to continue to get him some touches as the
Speaker 1: game went on. Um, and then Lane having Lane back,
Speaker 1: you know, really really uh listened. He was in, he
Speaker 1: got knocked out for a player two came back. Lay
Speaker 1: played really tough as well, so both of those guys.
Speaker 1: So it was really a shot in the arm for
Speaker 1: the offense to get those guys back. You have time
Speaker 1: for two more, so we'll go John Clark and Chris Franklin, Doug.
Speaker 1: You know, in the history of this league, a lot
Speaker 1: of people judge quarterbacks sometimes their greatness on comebacks. What
Speaker 1: what has Carson showed you the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: leading you guys to thirty four points in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter and maybe taking that step in the pressure moments, Well,
Speaker 1: it just shows that he's he's taking that step in
Speaker 1: the right direction to be to be one of the
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in this league. And and you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1: I mean, quarterbacks sometimes get measured by by fourth quarter comebacks.
Speaker 1: I know that's you know, part of the part of
Speaker 1: a stat that that gets gets recorded. And he um,
Speaker 1: you know, he's done that. The last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: we've we've put ourselves in position to really either tie
Speaker 1: the game a week ago and of course this week
Speaker 1: win the game. And um, that's what it takes. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, especially in the situa that we are, you
Speaker 1: know health wise as a team. We know these games
Speaker 1: are going to be probably closer than than we would like.
Speaker 1: But it is good to see your quarterback uh stand
Speaker 1: in there, you know, go toe to toe, take some
Speaker 1: shots and still lead your team down to the field
Speaker 1: for the for the win. Go ahead, Chris Hey, Doug
Speaker 1: Jake Elliot missed that twenty nine yard field goal earlier
Speaker 1: in the game. From your vantage point, was there anything
Speaker 1: wrong with the mechanics of the entire field goal operation
Speaker 1: there and didn't affect any of your decisions later on
Speaker 1: in the game. Uh No, there there was nothing wrong. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, just um, just a little bit of a
Speaker 1: pull you know by Jake. It's it's some characteristic of him,
Speaker 1: especially at that distance. Uh, still got a lot of
Speaker 1: confidence in Jake, and uh, you know, I'll put them
Speaker 1: back out there and you know, um in any of
Speaker 1: those situations. Again, Thanks coach guys. All right, great stuff
Speaker 1: there from the head coach um a couple of interesting points.
Speaker 1: I thought it was really interesting how we talked about
Speaker 1: look playing and these types of close games. We know
Speaker 1: where we are health wise, these games are going to
Speaker 1: be a bit closer than we like, and that's why
Speaker 1: this team has the resilience and the fight that it does.
Speaker 1: Another thing I thought that was really interesting about what
Speaker 1: he said was, look, you need some of that stuff
Speaker 1: talking about the deep ball to John high Tower and
Speaker 1: Richard Richard Rogers coming up there, called him rich Rodwood
Speaker 1: coming up there with some big plays. You need some
Speaker 1: of that stuff in two minute mode, which we were
Speaker 1: for the last six seven minutes of the game, knowing
Speaker 1: that they needed two scores. So just seeing this team
Speaker 1: shine really when the game is on the line. And
Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz saying I thought he hung in there
Speaker 1: faced adversity in battle, but there are some areas where
Speaker 1: he needs to improve. He knows it, we know it.
Speaker 1: We're going to go in there and we're gonna get
Speaker 1: it fixed. So love to see that toughness there from
Speaker 1: the head coach as well. All right, fran I'm going
Speaker 1: to bring in Frandeffie again to continue this conversation. Any
Speaker 1: takeaways from what we heard from the head coach there.
Speaker 1: I thought that the interesting thing about being in the
Speaker 1: two minute offense the last six seven minutes and look
Speaker 1: how you just kind of need guys to step up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it's all comes down to is
Speaker 1: you know the old saying of playmakers make plays, right,
Speaker 1: and that's what the Eagles need some playmakers to kind
Speaker 1: of evolve, you know, right, some of these young guys
Speaker 1: have to grow up quickly in the current state of
Speaker 1: affairs with this roster right now, with all of the injuries.
Speaker 1: But to me, the biggest takeaway too was him just
Speaker 1: talking about Carson Wentz and his resiliency and the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter comeback. You know, It's funny as he was talking
Speaker 1: about that, I was thinking that one thing that a
Speaker 1: lot of fans, a lot around the NFL would always
Speaker 1: compare because Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz. Obviously, being division
Speaker 1: rivals are always going to be compared, you know, in
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's favor every people would always point to those
Speaker 1: fourth quarter comebacks. Well, Carson Wentz for most of his
Speaker 1: career was not really in a position to have a
Speaker 1: lot of fourth quarter comebacks, right because a lot of
Speaker 1: those wins in twenty seventeen were you know, dominant victories.
Speaker 1: They didn't necessarily have that ability. But now for him
Speaker 1: to be able to stack up a couple is also
Speaker 1: a good thing to see for sure. That's a great point.
Speaker 1: And John Clark just tweeted this, really this great stat.
Speaker 1: In the last two games in the fourth quarter, Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz has five touchdown, zero interceptions. That's thirty four points
Speaker 1: and two hundred and fourteen yards. So he, if anything,
Speaker 1: has shown that when the game is on the line
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, especially in the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: But I feel like, really this season that he's been
Speaker 1: able to put it together. We also heard from Jalen Mills.
Speaker 1: Mills had a pretty good night tonight, three tackles, one interception,
Speaker 1: and a quarterback hit of course, one of the two
Speaker 1: turnovers for the Eagles. What did you like about his performance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen's always going to be around the football,
Speaker 1: you know, when he's playing at that safety spot. He's
Speaker 1: got the ability to come down and defend the run.
Speaker 1: He could be used as a blitzer. He's been very
Speaker 1: active getting after the quarterback. That quarterback hit force an
Speaker 1: incompletion I believe on third down, so certainly it was
Speaker 1: a playmaker in the game. I'm gonna be breaking down
Speaker 1: his interception for the All twenty two review that'll go
Speaker 1: up on Philadelphi Eagles dot com tomorrow. So I think
Speaker 1: when you look at his day overall, I'm excited to
Speaker 1: dig into the film because that really tells the story
Speaker 1: for the defensive backs, but excited to see the performance
Speaker 1: in the All twenty too well. And Mills also was
Speaker 1: asked about Brandon Graham's performance tonight. Brandon Graham had a
Speaker 1: heck of a game of course that uh that um
Speaker 1: I haven't written down giant killer BG sack fumble game. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, coming up with a big play when the
Speaker 1: big play is needed. Um, yeah, the sack fumble as well,
Speaker 1: but he also had a quarterback hit a tackle for
Speaker 1: a loss and uh, let's see for three h three
Speaker 1: solo tackles in tonight's game. Um, but just I mean
Speaker 1: a guy who is always making plays, especially when the
Speaker 1: game is on the line, to come up with a
Speaker 1: big play like that to to seal the win for
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Yeah. Yeah, And Brandon Graham and he's one
Speaker 1: of the heart and souls of this team, right And
Speaker 1: what you'd look at what he can do, not just
Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback he had a couple of sacks
Speaker 1: last week against Lamar Jackson, but also defending the run.
Speaker 1: You see him making plays in pursuit all the time.
Speaker 1: So he is the guy that is one of the
Speaker 1: guys that sets the tone for not just the defense,
Speaker 1: but for the entire roster. Doug Peterson talked about that
Speaker 1: in that press conference that you know, there's a reason
Speaker 1: why he's a captain, right, And I think when you
Speaker 1: look at Brandon Graham, he is the guy that a
Speaker 1: lot of people look to in that locker room. He's
Speaker 1: got I believe, six sacks so far this season and
Speaker 1: it's still early, so he's on pace to potentially break
Speaker 1: his career records. So excited to kind of see that
Speaker 1: four BG moving forward, hope to see that he can
Speaker 1: get some of those national accolades that he so much deserves,
Speaker 1: absolutely deserves it. Look, as long as we're given out
Speaker 1: accolades on defense, UM, I would just like to give
Speaker 1: a shout out to Alex Singleton who had five tackles
Speaker 1: tonight and two quarterback hits. One basically took out Javonte
Speaker 1: Freeman and the quarterback in one swift hit. This guy
Speaker 1: has is becoming a bigger and bigger contributor in this
Speaker 1: Eagles defense in the linebacking group, and man, that was
Speaker 1: that was a play I could watch again and again
Speaker 1: and again and again. I think he should get two
Speaker 1: hits on that one. I think it should be here
Speaker 1: that should go down to the box scores a couple.
Speaker 1: But he also amy showed up on special teams as well,
Speaker 1: and it continues to make an impact in that side
Speaker 1: of the game as well. Look, I think when you
Speaker 1: look at Alex Singleton's is being plugged in the lineup
Speaker 1: against San Francisco due to the injury to t J. Edwards,
Speaker 1: He's consistently been around the football. One of the things
Speaker 1: that I like most about him, he's really quick to
Speaker 1: get downhill against the run game, very very fast to
Speaker 1: get down there, and he shows a little bit of
Speaker 1: a knack for defeating blocks, and he always plays like
Speaker 1: his hair's on fire. So you know, when you have
Speaker 1: a guy that sees things quickly, has the burst to
Speaker 1: be able to get downhill, and then the violence to
Speaker 1: be able to finish, you're cooking with gas there at
Speaker 1: the linebacker position, especially when you're talking about defending the run,
Speaker 1: and that's where he has shown up time and time again.
Speaker 1: Was a very productive player in the CFL before making
Speaker 1: his return to the NFL here in Philadelphia. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: a guy beloved in the locker room for playing with
Speaker 1: his hair on fire at all times and taking no
Speaker 1: plays off. But also he's just the kind of guy
Speaker 1: you can tell how much he loves to play the game.
Speaker 1: Has taken advantage of the opportunity. To the injuries and
Speaker 1: the lack of depth at the linebacker position, he's had
Speaker 1: the chance to make a name for himself here and
Speaker 1: he's been taking advantage of that. How have you seen
Speaker 1: him develop up and continue to carve out a role
Speaker 1: for himself in this defense? Yeah, I mean, look, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, most often there's gonna be
Speaker 1: two linebackers on the field, So you know, between Alex Singleton.
Speaker 1: You've got Nate Gary, Duke Riley made his return from
Speaker 1: injury tonight. TJ. Edwards is still on the men. You
Speaker 1: have a couple of young guys there and Sean Bradley
Speaker 1: and Davion Taylor who saw a lot of reps last week.
Speaker 1: So I think when you look at that group, everybody's
Speaker 1: still kind of fighting for playing time. But Alex Singleton
Speaker 1: has continued to prove that, you know, he deserves more
Speaker 1: and more and more. We'll see what the final snap
Speaker 1: counts were when they get released on Friday morning, but
Speaker 1: I think when you look at Singleton, he's improved every
Speaker 1: single week and he's done what you could ask him
Speaker 1: to do. It's not always perfect. There were times watching
Speaker 1: the film against Baltimore last week where he did get
Speaker 1: kind of taken out of his gap, whether it was
Speaker 1: by backfield action or something that was going they kind
Speaker 1: of took him away from the football. But more often
Speaker 1: than not, he's done a really nice job and he's
Speaker 1: come downhill. He's been able to finish tackles. I can't
Speaker 1: think of any mistackles that he's had so far this season.
Speaker 1: So he continues to impress and as he continues to
Speaker 1: do that, he'll earn more and more playing time. Well.
Speaker 1: The linebacker group is a group that continues to get
Speaker 1: questions from the outside. M Nate Gary Tonight had one
Speaker 1: of the three sacks as well. We mentioned Brandon Graham.
Speaker 1: Derek Barnett had the other one. And speaking of Brandon
Speaker 1: Graham here he is ready to talk to the media
Speaker 1: to day. Hey, Bge, thanks for taking the time. We'll
Speaker 1: get started with Mike Selski and then Rob Matti. Hi, Brandon,
Speaker 1: this is not the same team really that won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. There's been a lot of turnover. There's even
Speaker 1: been some turnover since last year. What is it about?
Speaker 1: What is the quality that this team has that you
Speaker 1: guys really just don't give up. I mean, you rallied
Speaker 1: last week, you rallied the week before that, you obviously
Speaker 1: rallied tonight. What is it about you guys that stays
Speaker 1: in a game that it looks like you're gonna lose.
Speaker 1: We just keep on, We just keep on fighting. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't worry about the past. You know, we try
Speaker 1: to stay futuristic, you know, as far as you know, Hey,
Speaker 1: it is what it is now now, what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do and so I think people taking on at a
Speaker 1: proa and you know, I'm loving it because you know,
Speaker 1: we fight to the end. But I mean, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you some of this stuff that's happening to us right now,
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna start changing, you know, because I
Speaker 1: really do feel like our team is getting stronger as
Speaker 1: every week and every week that confidence is growing. We
Speaker 1: finally pull one at the end, and you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know how tough it is in this league to
Speaker 1: win games, and so for us to rally back six
Speaker 1: minutes to go luckily with the drop that Evans gave us,
Speaker 1: Ingram gave us, you know, I was, you know, we
Speaker 1: took advantage of the opportunity. So I'm thankful for that.
Speaker 1: Go Rob Monty and then a banking BG. Obviously this
Speaker 1: doesn't compare to the strip stack of Brady and the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But if you guys go on to do
Speaker 1: something special this season, you're getting jones there at the
Speaker 1: end to seal the win in such a big deal
Speaker 1: momentum change or game change or game sealer. How badly
Speaker 1: did you want that? And what did that do for you? Guys?
Speaker 1: As you can try to build some momentum. Now, well,
Speaker 1: I believe what you just said. Man, it's it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna change our season around. I do. I do
Speaker 1: feel that. I believe that. I think that every week
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to build on what we're doing. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, next up is the Cowboys. But I do
Speaker 1: think that, Uh it's a confidence booth for our team
Speaker 1: to let us know that no matter what, we're still
Speaker 1: in this thing and we we just gotta keep fighting
Speaker 1: and keep believing and keep working on those little things
Speaker 1: that tend to sneak up on this uh you know
Speaker 1: in these games. So um yeah, at Banking and then
Speaker 1: at cross. All right, Brandon, how much of the younger
Speaker 1: players learning from games like this and how much are
Speaker 1: you and the rest of the veteran engine joining kind
Speaker 1: of getting the message across them about staying together and
Speaker 1: seeing the results from this. Uh you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's really good for them because they're going through a
Speaker 1: lot of adversity, uh, their first years with the cod
Speaker 1: with COVID, you know, the stuff that we got to
Speaker 1: do for COVID, and then what's been happening on that field,
Speaker 1: it's only making it stronger each and every week, and
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like what coach say, we battle
Speaker 1: tested you know, uh, you know all these things that's
Speaker 1: ten tend to go wrong in these games. We always
Speaker 1: try to find We always find a way to rally back.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we come up short and the end, but things
Speaker 1: are going to start clicking for us, and I think
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, it started with the Giants tonight.
Speaker 1: It was an ugly win, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, a win is a win, and you know
Speaker 1: we can continue to build off of it. We'll go
Speaker 1: ed Crottson and Martin Frank. Hey, BG, that sack was
Speaker 1: your first of the night. I mean, what is it
Speaker 1: when you get into the fourth quarter? Do you elevate
Speaker 1: your game? I mean, do you just does the adrenaline
Speaker 1: start to flow a little bit more later into the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter? I mean, what, how do you explain being there? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, at that point in the game when you
Speaker 1: know throughout much of the game, I guess you didn't
Speaker 1: get home. Well, you know what. The first thing I
Speaker 1: talked about on the sideline with Jordan Malatta, he had
Speaker 1: said something to me that sparked me. He was like,
Speaker 1: you know, act like Emerson's watching my baby girl. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, She's be excited for me and
Speaker 1: give her something to be proud of. And so it
Speaker 1: was just cool that I made that play. But he
Speaker 1: said that to me before I went out there, and
Speaker 1: so man, I'm telling you, it's just it's just something
Speaker 1: about the end of the games with the rotation that
Speaker 1: we have, you feel stronger. You just can't wait because
Speaker 1: you know you in a past, a past situation, and
Speaker 1: all you gotta do is make a couple moves, get
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, hoping that he holds the ball, and
Speaker 1: he held the ball right there, went straight for the ball.
Speaker 1: Thank you be Dark because Bedc definitely went for the
Speaker 1: ball thinking about you, and you know, instead of going
Speaker 1: just for the sack, went for the ball, and we
Speaker 1: changed the the change the whole game and the end
Speaker 1: of the game. With that, it's time for two mores.
Speaker 1: So we'll go Martin and then Mike Ka Brandon. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, there was there was a long stretch so
Speaker 1: like in the middle of the game where the offense
Speaker 1: you know, couldn't convert. You know, they had a lot
Speaker 1: of trips into the red zone and you know, came
Speaker 1: away without any points. How much pressure does that put
Speaker 1: on the defense? Um? And then do you guys like
Speaker 1: talk about that at all. It's not really pressure. It's
Speaker 1: just all about just helping it. Like the way we
Speaker 1: talk about it is, you know, let's go put the
Speaker 1: offense in a in a better position. You know, they
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't get it, they didn't get it done,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna go. We're gonna go get it done,
Speaker 1: you know, and the balls coming right back. And so
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the message every time things happened,
Speaker 1: sudden changes happened in the game where you know, we
Speaker 1: didn't pick up a fourth down, um, and you know,
Speaker 1: uh Jake missed the kick. So you know, we just
Speaker 1: had to make sure that we put ourselves in a
Speaker 1: in a position, um, you know for the for the
Speaker 1: offense to win. And so UM, it's this we were
Speaker 1: talking positive all the time to each other, trying to
Speaker 1: keep the negative out and you know, despite what's going
Speaker 1: on in the game, we always talk about don't let
Speaker 1: it be us on defense and so um, with that mentality,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, it's been working for us. We just
Speaker 1: gotta continue to fine tune little things. But that that
Speaker 1: happens as the season, go on last one here with
Speaker 1: Mike and then we'll get Carson Bring And they know
Speaker 1: you're not big on the individual accolades, but I knew
Speaker 1: you when you sign your ascension, you wanted to have
Speaker 1: three seasons of ten sacks or more and make the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls. Right now, you've got six steps or seven games.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good pace. What what's different this year?
Speaker 1: What's got you playing so well? I think, you know, um,
Speaker 1: just really taking on my nutrition this year more serious
Speaker 1: than I ever have, feeling good, bodies feeling really good
Speaker 1: right now. I feel fast, and then with our rotation,
Speaker 1: that's helping a lot. I don't feel like I'm taking
Speaker 1: on a lot of you know, a lot of beating
Speaker 1: from these games, because you know it got chipped a
Speaker 1: couple a lot of times today, and you know that
Speaker 1: could wear on your body a little bit. But it's
Speaker 1: cool when you got a good rotation of guys that
Speaker 1: you can count on, because in that fourth quarter when
Speaker 1: you need to play, I felt like you know, I
Speaker 1: felt in the first quarter, So I felt hungry and
Speaker 1: ready to go make a play. And I'm thankful that
Speaker 1: day in the back end, you know, took away his
Speaker 1: reads and you know I was able to get there.
Speaker 1: Did you have a view of Daniel Jones falling? Uh?
Speaker 1: You say, what did you get to see him falling? Oh? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen him fall know I've seen that ball fall
Speaker 1: first before before anything. But uh, you know, I was
Speaker 1: happy that I was able to, you know, make that
Speaker 1: play for the team. Thanks big, thank you. All right,
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham saying he's basically circling this game as a
Speaker 1: turning point, already calling it for this team tonight, saying
Speaker 1: I think this changes things. I think we're really starting
Speaker 1: to click, and especially having a comeback is huge for
Speaker 1: the young guys. And let's listen to the man who
Speaker 1: let that come back for this Eagles offense. Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: is at the podium. Hey Carson, thanks for taking the time.
Speaker 1: We'll get started here with Nick Fierro and Bo Wolf. Hi, Carson,
Speaker 1: the game had a lot of apps and flows there.
Speaker 1: I know it didn't it worked out for you at
Speaker 1: the end. I wanted to ask about the you know,
Speaker 1: the penalty with Jason Kelsey and it backed you up.
Speaker 1: It seems maybe devastating at the time, but do you
Speaker 1: think it maybe gave you a little extra room to
Speaker 1: get some receivers open and go more vertical. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess you could look at it that way. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened on the penalty, but I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously being down there that that was a tough penalty
Speaker 1: to have and Kelsey felt terrible about it. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened, but um yeah, we had to had
Speaker 1: to find a way to make a play, and sure
Speaker 1: enough the next play we did. But um yeah, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it was an advantageous far as by any means.
Speaker 1: But when then less Carson, we you know, we've talked
Speaker 1: so much about the rotating offensive line. You know, six
Speaker 1: different lines in seven games. Now, do you feel comfortable
Speaker 1: in the pocket right now? I do? I do? I think.
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta keep you know, mixing up play
Speaker 1: calls and movements and get the ball out quick and
Speaker 1: screens and things. And I can be better, you know,
Speaker 1: I can be better by getting the ball out quicker
Speaker 1: in certain situations. But um, you know, those guys are
Speaker 1: competing their tails off, and that's the that's the only
Speaker 1: thing I can always ask for. Mistakes are gonna happen.
Speaker 1: That's what I always say, Guys, are gonna drop passes,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw interceptions, but the mistakes are gonna happen,
Speaker 1: and those guys are gonna make some mistakes up front too,
Speaker 1: And so as long as they're keep coming back and
Speaker 1: they're resilient, keep fighting. Um, And that's what I've seen
Speaker 1: every week now. So I'm proud of those guys in
Speaker 1: the way they just keep coming along even when they
Speaker 1: make mistakes. Lesson and zach Hi Carson, can you tell
Speaker 1: us about the touchdown throw? What you were, what you saw?
Speaker 1: You know, what it felt like to see Boston end
Speaker 1: up on the inside of that pyline. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it was. I mean he wasn't the primary read on
Speaker 1: that play and the way it happened. I stepped up
Speaker 1: in the pocket and um, the guy a pretty good coverage,
Speaker 1: but you know, giving Boston a chance there to make
Speaker 1: a play and he did. I mean, he plays bigger
Speaker 1: than you know, whatever he is five to seven, Um,
Speaker 1: he plays bigger than that. And he made a great play.
Speaker 1: And I was pretty surprised we pulled it off. When
Speaker 1: I threw, I thought I was a little high, but
Speaker 1: but he, like I said, he plays bigger than than
Speaker 1: he is. And obviously there's a lot of emotions there.
Speaker 1: It was kind of a big exciting moment, but a
Speaker 1: big kind of sigh of relief because we know we
Speaker 1: left a lot of plays out there, but um, the
Speaker 1: way we battled and found a way at the end
Speaker 1: of the game was huge for us Zach and then
Speaker 1: Jeff McClean, Hey, Carson, as a follow up to that
Speaker 1: first and goal from the twenty three and you have
Speaker 1: time out, you obviously don't need it all on one play.
Speaker 1: What were you kind of thinking there? Did you? Did
Speaker 1: you want it all on one play? What's that thought
Speaker 1: process with that drive? Yeah, I mean that's a great question.
Speaker 1: And you know, at the end of the day, it
Speaker 1: comes down to the play that's called, you know, and
Speaker 1: the play that was called was to take his shot there,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, that's that's coaches mentality. And you know,
Speaker 1: we had a couple of different guys in the end
Speaker 1: zone as options and m Boston was the guy it
Speaker 1: went to with the one on one coverage there and
Speaker 1: he made a great play. So again, the play call
Speaker 1: really dictates that. But I love coaches aggressive mentality. Jeff
Speaker 1: and John, Uh yeah, yeah, Curson, how are you feeling
Speaker 1: in terms of the hits. I mean, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: at one point it seemed like Jordan when he picked
Speaker 1: you up off the turf, it seemed like the collection
Speaker 1: of all the hits may have been wearing on you. Um.
Speaker 1: Can you talk a little bit about all the pressure
Speaker 1: and all the hit safe to take? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I feel great because we got to win, and I
Speaker 1: feel great because we got a long weekend. Um, those
Speaker 1: are the things I feel great about. I mean, anytime
Speaker 1: you play two football games and whatever, it's been four
Speaker 1: or five days stretch, it's tough. It's tough on your body.
Speaker 1: But the fact that we got to win, the fact
Speaker 1: that we got a little time off, the body will
Speaker 1: be just fine. John, and then Martin. Hey, Carson, and
Speaker 1: it looks like you spread the football around quite a bit. Today.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about your kind of immediate chemistry with
Speaker 1: Travis Folgan today, rich Rod a little bit, Richard Rogers
Speaker 1: had a lot of success. What is it about these
Speaker 1: guys that makes you trust them so easily? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, a guy like Richard, he's been here before
Speaker 1: and we've had we've had a lot of bank reps
Speaker 1: over the years and work together and He's a smart
Speaker 1: football player. You know, he's been around and been in
Speaker 1: this league for a long time. And you know, anytime
Speaker 1: you play a team like the Giants that plays that
Speaker 1: style defense with a lot of zone coverages, Richard's a
Speaker 1: really smart guy and knows where he needs to be
Speaker 1: in what timing he needs to be there. And so
Speaker 1: I thought that was advantageous for us the way they
Speaker 1: played Um for Richard to get open and Greig and
Speaker 1: Travis and all the guys, like you said, we really
Speaker 1: spread the ball around well tonight, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: that's the type offense we need to be and guys
Speaker 1: will keep making those plays Martin and then ed krafts
Speaker 1: it Carson Um. You started that comeback and you know
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter with the long past John
Speaker 1: high high tower, and it's kind of the second week
Speaker 1: in a row that you've hit him with a you know,
Speaker 1: fifty yard pass or more. Just what kind of like
Speaker 1: connection are you starting to develop with him? And how
Speaker 1: much was that Um played to a high tower considering
Speaker 1: the stakes at the time. Yeah, I mean you hit
Speaker 1: it on the head. It was it was clause. It
Speaker 1: was a huge play in that in that moment, I
Speaker 1: believe we were down two scores there and um backs
Speaker 1: against the wall and John Uh, he keeps putting his
Speaker 1: speed on tape. He keeps showing up that he can
Speaker 1: run by defenders and do some things well. And so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him and all these guys opportunities down
Speaker 1: the field when when the play call dictates it. And
Speaker 1: so he made it, made a great play tonight, and
Speaker 1: I thought he was about to spin out of that
Speaker 1: and score, but I was a huge play for us.
Speaker 1: And He's gonna keep getting better and better. And I
Speaker 1: like what I see a lot from him. Ed Kratz
Speaker 1: and then Michaelongo, Hey, Carson, you said that Boston wasn't
Speaker 1: the primary on that touchdown throw to him? Who was
Speaker 1: the primary? What was the progression there? There's a couple
Speaker 1: of different options. All the guys were not all the guys,
Speaker 1: but a lot of them were breaking into the end zone,
Speaker 1: and just the way it kind of played out, they
Speaker 1: kind of had bracket coverage on a couple of guys
Speaker 1: and Boston had one on one coverage there down the sideline.
Speaker 1: So again it wasn't necessarily he was the primary, But
Speaker 1: find the guy that has the one on one coverage
Speaker 1: when when they played that type of matchup and we
Speaker 1: did and we obviously hit big on it. We have
Speaker 1: time for two more, so we'll go Mike and then
Speaker 1: Chris Murray. Carson, You've engineered a lot of these fourth
Speaker 1: course touchdown rallies, and just what kind of changes in
Speaker 1: your mind frame when you when you're able to do this.
Speaker 1: You did it last week. It gets the Ravens and
Speaker 1: the time before that, I gets the Diners as well
Speaker 1: and last week last as well as is there anything
Speaker 1: kind of changing in your mindset? And also what does
Speaker 1: the game make this due to your team for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I mean to answer the latter
Speaker 1: part of that question. It does a lot for us.
Speaker 1: It does a lot for our confidence the way we've
Speaker 1: really fought to come back in the last couple of
Speaker 1: Wall games to actually do it and pull out a win. Um,
Speaker 1: it's huge for our confidence. And we know it's a
Speaker 1: divisional game, so it's it's huge for for the NFC
Speaker 1: East as well. As far as the other question, I mean,
Speaker 1: we'd love to not be in those situations where our
Speaker 1: backs are against the wall. You know, we left a
Speaker 1: lot of plays out there. Um, we're in the red
Speaker 1: zone a lot and didn't so are many points. So
Speaker 1: those are things we got to clean up and be better. Um,
Speaker 1: But when our backs are against the wall and we
Speaker 1: got to make plays, I'm gonna give guys all the
Speaker 1: opportunity of the world to make them, and coach does
Speaker 1: a great job of calling the game in those situations.
Speaker 1: We're playing fast, putting a lot of pressure on the defense,
Speaker 1: and you know, we're obviously doing doing some good things
Speaker 1: in those situations and we got to keep building on it.
Speaker 1: But again, ideally we don't put ourselves in those situations.
Speaker 1: But when we need it, you know, we've been successful
Speaker 1: for the most part so far. Last one here with Chris, Yeah, across,
Speaker 1: given all the all the frustration you had with the
Speaker 1: offense at Thoms tonight, what did you tell your team
Speaker 1: when you guys were down twenty one ten and you
Speaker 1: had to kind of overcome and get them back back
Speaker 1: on track to win the game. Yeah, I mean we said, hey,
Speaker 1: I mean, there wasn't a lot of time, but he said, hey,
Speaker 1: there's enough time. There's enough time. We got to just
Speaker 1: keep believing and just take it one play at a time. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we were in turbo on the ball two minute mode
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. But I mean the same
Speaker 1: thing that I echo every game when we're down, Hey,
Speaker 1: just keep believing. Just one play at a time, and
Speaker 1: the big play is gonna hit. It's gonna happen. And
Speaker 1: John had the big one on that first drive, and
Speaker 1: obviously Boston the second drive. And guys, just keep believing
Speaker 1: and keep rallying together, and that's what it's going to
Speaker 1: take to win a lot of these ball games. Thanks Carson,
Speaker 1: Thank you guys. All right, that is the Eagles quarterback
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz after leading his team to a big comeback
Speaker 1: win tonight to take first place in the NFC East.
Speaker 1: We are going to take a quick break. We will
Speaker 1: see you on the other their side to give you
Speaker 1: the nominees for the Toyota Player of the Week and
Speaker 1: the Rico Review. Stay with us. This does not look
Speaker 1: like a discount sofa. It's not everything. I Zella's quality furniture,
Speaker 1: and I give you a discount Bob's discount. Interesting. I
Speaker 1: remember this for as long as I live. Bob, it
Speaker 1: looks so young. Do you remember it's not discount furniture.
Speaker 1: It's quality furniture at our discount Bob's Discount Discount only
Speaker 1: at Bob's Discount Furniture. You are watching the postgame show
Speaker 1: presented by Rico and before leaving Tonight's game with an injury.
Speaker 1: Eagle's receiver to Shaun Jackson was a key part of
Speaker 1: the Eagle's first opening drive, scoring a touchdown scoring drive
Speaker 1: with a couple of he catches there, and one of
Speaker 1: them is the subject of tonight's Rieka review from friend Duffy.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look, all right, So let's look at
Speaker 1: the very first play of the game, and that is
Speaker 1: this end around. Carson Wentz gonna hand the ball off
Speaker 1: to DeShawn Jackson on a little gadget play here, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna see DeShawn Jackson first play back in the
Speaker 1: lineup here since the early parts of the season. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get this ball on a handoff. But I love
Speaker 1: what the Eagles do to kind of set this up
Speaker 1: because you've got Boston Scott back here in the backfield.
Speaker 1: This is going to be counter run action. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a fake counterplay. He's gonna step as if
Speaker 1: he's going right and he's gonna come back left. You're
Speaker 1: gonna get a couple of blocks coming inside. You're gonna
Speaker 1: see that tight end. Richard Rogers, he's gonna start moving
Speaker 1: this way. You're gonna get the right guard, Nate Herbig,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be pulling this direction. And then you're also
Speaker 1: gonna get the wide receivers starting to block down as well.
Speaker 1: Everything is gonna tell this giant's front seven that it
Speaker 1: is going to be a run to the left. But
Speaker 1: you're gonna get to Shawn Jackson once again going behind
Speaker 1: the whole formation on orbit motion, and he's gonna get
Speaker 1: this ball from Carson Wentz. The blocks that I want
Speaker 1: you to watch here are gonna be from Travis Folgum,
Speaker 1: who's just gonna leak out right away. And then Richard Rogers,
Speaker 1: he does a nice job. He's gonna sell that poll
Speaker 1: block here on the counter run and then he's gonna
Speaker 1: bend back around. So those gonna be the two blocks
Speaker 1: along with Jason Kelsey, who's gonna get out in front
Speaker 1: of this play for Deshaw Jackson. We let this role
Speaker 1: and you can see these plays start to develop. Watch
Speaker 1: Rogers right here, he's gonna make that turnaround. Look at
Speaker 1: these blocks up at the second level. Those guys all
Speaker 1: start to hit. DeShawn Jackson runs twelve yards for a
Speaker 1: first down just to get him into the groove of
Speaker 1: the game. The offense gets going and leads to a
Speaker 1: touchdown drive on the opening stands up. Now is your
Speaker 1: chance to vote for the Toyota Player of the Week.
Speaker 1: Go to Philadelphia Eagles dot com slash Toyota Player of
Speaker 1: the Week to cast your vote and get a chance
Speaker 1: at a brand new Toyota. Tonight's nominees for Toyota Player
Speaker 1: of the Week defensive end Brandon Graham, wide receiver Greg Ward,
Speaker 1: and quarterback Harson. What I think I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Greg Ward here? He had a touchdown and forty six yards. Nope,
Speaker 1: that's the wrong one. A touchdown and forty two yards
Speaker 1: on five catches? Though, Um can I nominate Boston's thought? Um?
Speaker 1: What do you guys think? Who's your pick? Tonight? Well,
Speaker 1: for the third week in a row, we gotta go
Speaker 1: with the Bronco. I mean Carson Wentz. I know he
Speaker 1: had a rough spot there with a bad interception, but
Speaker 1: I can't think of many other plays where he wasn't exceptional,
Speaker 1: And you always got to take into consideration. What's arounding
Speaker 1: and the fact that they were down by eleven points
Speaker 1: was six minutes to go, and those two gets, those
Speaker 1: two touchdown drives that he was able to engineer, including
Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown drive and the throws that he made. Man,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to be Arson wins this week.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Fran You know, I would say,
Speaker 1: like I want to give the vote to b g
Speaker 1: give it to Brandon Graham, But I'm going to go
Speaker 1: with Ike here. I one hundred percent agree. I think
Speaker 1: when you look at what Carson did late in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter to put them in position to win this game,
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham's sack fumble to seal, it doesn't happen without
Speaker 1: those touchdowns by Carson Wentz. I'm gonna go with number
Speaker 1: eleven as well. A solid case made by both of you.
Speaker 1: I can see, yes, I can see why people would
Speaker 1: feel that way. All right, let's move ahead to look
Speaker 1: at the next matchup. The Dallas Cowboys will be in
Speaker 1: South Philadelphia Sunday Night Football a week from Sunday. They
Speaker 1: will they will play the Washington football team this weekend.
Speaker 1: They're currently two and four, but they've got one more
Speaker 1: game before they will be here. Of course, this is
Speaker 1: a three game stretch in the division, the most recently
Speaker 1: lost to the Cardinals on Monday Night Football thirty eight
Speaker 1: to ten. What do you guys think of this one? Ike?
Speaker 1: Real quick? Your thoughts on the Cowboys. Yeah, I'm excited
Speaker 1: for and it's great to be having a chance to
Speaker 1: rest with a victory. It makes it a lot easier.
Speaker 1: I'll be excited next Sunday night for that game. Anytime
Speaker 1: you're playing the Cowboys with first place on the line,
Speaker 1: what more can you ask for? It will be at
Speaker 1: the link. We just we need to come out the
Speaker 1: way that we did tonight, but we need to make
Speaker 1: sure we maintain that for four quarters. Maintain that is
Speaker 1: the key. What do you think of this matchup? Friend? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you know, they have to clean up some
Speaker 1: of the mistakes we saw from this game. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: red zone has got to get better. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be able to turn the ball over against this defense.
Speaker 1: But you know, because they're starting to get healthy, some
Speaker 1: of their guys are starting to get back into the lineup.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I cannot wait. That's gonna be first place
Speaker 1: on the line next Sunday night. If you were at
Speaker 1: the link. Oh, first place on the line. Again. That's
Speaker 1: how it is around here, That's how we like it.
Speaker 1: All right, that game November first. Hard to believe it's
Speaker 1: going to be November first. We will be right back
Speaker 1: here with the kickoff show presented by Exalta. That'll be
Speaker 1: at seven thirty five PM, as always, forty five minutes
Speaker 1: to kick off, and then as soon as the game
Speaker 1: is over, right back here with the postgame show presented
Speaker 1: by Rico. And since this is an Eagles win, you
