WEBVTT - The Post-Game Show: Eagles beat Packers 39-26 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.800 It's Saturday night, and it's time to celebrate. Here on 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.600 the postgame show presented by Rico, I'm Chris McPherson alongside 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.239 former Eagles linebacker I Greece. The Eagles victorious for the 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.320 third time in the preseason, and once again in dominating fashion, 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.320 a thirty nine to twenty six victory over the Green 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.479 Bay Packers. But the big story ike, of course, the 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.560 performance of Sam Bradford, a perfect ten of ten, guiding 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.120 the Eagles to a twenty five to nothing lead at 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.960 the end of the first quarter. Yeah, great job Sam 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.280 Bradford tonight. We wanted to see him for an extended 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.199 period of time. We got a chance to see him. 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.440 I believe for three drives. He scored a touchdown on 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.959 every drive that he was out there at tenth to ten, 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.160 got the ball out of his hands decisively, gave his 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.960 his receivers and running backs a chance to run after 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.559 they caught the ball. I thought he displayed perfect touch. 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.040 His best word on my opinion, was to touchdown to 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.000 Tredy Burton where he had to stand there in the 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.080 pocket take a big hit coming right down the pike, 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.000 and he was able to do that without flinching and 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.240 give Trey Burton a pass that only he could catch. 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.080 So on the night Darren sprowls with a receiving touchdown. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.240 You mentioned Trey Burton, he had two scores, Brent Sellick 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.679 had a touchdown, Jeff mel contributed one, and you had 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.400 to pick six from the defense, Walter Thurman chipping in 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.720 picking off the rookie Brett Huntley and taking the ball 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.600 back to the house to pad the lead. So the 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.040 Eagles in all three faces, dominating the Packers to come 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.240 out victorious again thirty nine to twenty six. We're gonna 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.200 hear from head coach Hi Kelly and quarterback Sam Bradford 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:03.880 in just a little bit, and we're gonna take your 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.520 phone calls here two one five three, two zero five 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.080 one seven zero is a phone number, and we're gonna 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.280 welcome in great co sell from NFL Films a little 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.800 bit later in the show, as he's gonna break down 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.680 the all twenty two to showcase exactly why the Eagles 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.600 came out victorious. Now, Ike, we're now three cords away 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.320 through the preseason. It's getting to the nitty gritty time. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.079 The Eagles have to get to the fifty three man 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.799 roster a week from now? What do you what do 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.080 you take from this Eagles team at this point? What 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.400 do you what have you learned about the philadelph Eagles 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.480 going into the twenty fifteen season. Well, first and foremost, Chris, 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:42.080 I think they've been the most precise team this preseason 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.880 so far. Their offense is operating with precision. They've scored 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.920 more points than anyone else so far through three games 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.000 in the preseason. I like what I've seen, in my opinion, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.800 mission accomplished for the preseason. They have not lost any 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.760 significant players due to injury. Through these first preseason games. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.000 You wanted to see Sam Bradford get his first action, 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.400 and over a year they were able to do that 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.679 in just two games. He looked very confident out there 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.480 throwing the ball, he wrote, and he operated the offense 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.880 with efficiency. I'm telling you, man, through three weeks the Eagles, 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.239 and I know it's only preseason, and I've seen enough 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.079 preseason games through these three weeks around the National Football League, 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.919 and there's not a team of the thirty two that 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:29.280 look more like in sync than Philadelphia Eagles. And I 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.240 know it's all three of their phases and their first 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.960 team has only been out there for a short period 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.760 of time, but they look like they're already in mid 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.040 season form as a whole team. In my opinion, it's 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.360 interesting because there are a lot of questions about how 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.080 much should you play some of these key players because 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.400 of the fact that you want to make sure that 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.400 they're ready for the start of the season, but at 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.280 the same time, you don't want to get guys injured. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.560 You look at Green Band the area lost Jordy Nelson 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.839 for the season. They didn't have three of they didn't 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.560 have three of their starting alignment in for the game tonight. 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.760 They also lost Raynald Cup early on in the game. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.440 Don't know how long that is for. But nonetheless, you 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:03.840 have to balance at where you don't want to be 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.920 too conservative and not have your guys ready for the 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.760 start of the regular season, but you obviously do want 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.200 to protect them. Now. A veteran team like Green Bay 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.280 they know what they have in Aaron Rodgers, but the 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.280 Eagles are still learning about the likes of Sam Bradford 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.280 and DeMarco Murray in this offense. That's why it was 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.279 imperative for them to get those guys out in the field. Yeah, 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.200 I mean green Green Bay's in a totally different situation 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.760 than the Eagles are in. They brought in. The Eagles 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.720 brought in a lot of players this solf season, so 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.600 there needs to be cohesiveness that needs to be formed. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.520 When you look at Green Bay, I think they returned 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.440 all twenty two of their starters. They lost Jordy Nelson, 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.719 but they still have the majority of their starters on 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.160 offense and defense. They want to get to the regular 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.039 season game. Tonight's game isn't a true indicator just how 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.240 good the Eagles were offensively. Yeah, Green Bay had their 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.040 first team defense out there, Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.360 does not play defense, so they would not have been 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.320 able to stop Sam Bradford in this offense tonight. But 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.440 when I look at the Eagles defense and the way 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.120 they performed tonight, we can only take it so far. Obviously, 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.640 you got a third stream quarterback out there who's a rookie. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.880 They're missing significant weapons at the other positions. Eddie Laces 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.640 out of the game early, Ramblew Carbat the one catches 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.320 out of the game. So you got to take what 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.480 the Eagles were able to do defensively with a grain 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.120 of salt, But tonight was really about the offense. The 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.400 first extensive action for the starting quarterback in Sam Bradford, 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.640 and I thought he passed to Night's tests with flying colors. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.080 You were able to see a lot from short passes, 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.279 touch passes over the top. They had the running game 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.600 going as well. I mean, I'm anxious to get the 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.240 season starting. I know it's only been a small sample 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.880 of watching this offense being ran with Sam Bradford under 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.520 the center. I believe less than thirty thirty five plays, 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.719 maybe a thirteen last week fifteen to night, So maybe 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.400 less than thirty plays in two games for Sam Bradford. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.680 But from what I've seen in those two games, my 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.520 mouth is watering waiting for this offense to take the 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.239 field Monday night in Atlanta. It was very reminiscent. Speaking 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.640 of Monday night games, go back to the two thirteen 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.000 season when we were waiting to see the offense come 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.520 alive for the first time in game action. That's what 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.560 it reminded me here tonight when you saw them in 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.920 that debut against the Washington White Redskins, and you saw 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.039 the tempo for the first time come to life, and 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.440 you were like, are we seeing a new brand of football. 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.000 Is this something that we've never seen before? It at 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.200 least felt that way into Eagles fans because you didn't 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.479 know what it was going to be until it was 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.080 fully unleashed on the football field, and then you saw 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.479 it in that Week one game. It seems like that's 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.680 a feeling I kind of had tonight coming into this 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.320 game where look, we got a small taste, a small 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.520 glimpse of Sam Bradford in the win over Balmer last week. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.280 This is where we kind of, I think, saw more 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.880 of what we can expect down the line now that 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.680 he's getting fully ingretiated into his offense. And make no 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.320 mistake about it, when the Eagles hit you early in games, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.920 you had better be ready to recover and get back 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.479 there and ready to play defense. When this offense is 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.760 coming at you, it puts you on your heels as 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.159 a defense. It started with the opening kickoff what Rahei 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.200 mostered sixty seven yard kickoff retire, setting the Office offense 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.640 up in great position with a short field, and the 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.200 next thing you know, the Eagles are rolling. It didn't 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.000 look like the Green Bay Packers were able to catch 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.360 their breath until the Eagles were up twenty five to nothing. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.760 That's when the game seemed to slow down for the 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.480 Green Bay Packers, And that'll be a real threat for 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.960 every team that the Eagles face this year, is can 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.440 you keep up with the tempo in the pace that 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.680 this offense is going to come at you, when they're 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.720 picking up first downs, when they're completing passes, when they're 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.880 able to roll and they're not being stopped by ineffectiveness 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.880 of their own on the offensive side of the ball, 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.600 ie negative plays in the run game or incomplete passes. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.520 Those are benefits for the defense. But when the offense 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.000 it's rolling like they were tonight, almost unstoppable. How much 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.080 you have to factor in that the offense was running 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.360 at the tempo that had and teams don't, especially in 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.320 the preseason, prepare for it. It's harder for a defense 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.240 to get used to it for if you're seeing it 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.960 one time throughout the course of the season. But in 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.800 the preseason game like this one, Green Bay I'm sure 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.120 wasn't really game playing that much for the tempo. How 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.520 much you have to take that into consideration. I mean, 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.760 you certainly have to. But the bottom mind is this 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.120 is the way the Eagles want to play, and of 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.560 course the game may I've looked a little and the 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.120 Eagle's favor. All right, we'll gon do now said at 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:15.240 the Lambeau Field here for head coach Chip Kelly. Oh wow, 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:20.080 shots shots fired? We are you looking at the table 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.280 finding something to Uh? No, I thought Sam played well, 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.800 you know, I thought he was really poised out there. 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.280 I had a real good command of what we were doing, 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.600 really located the football. I thought he played really well 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:36.920 for us. We just talked about, you know, a couple series, 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.440 so just see how it would, see how it was 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.560 going to express itself. So I thought, after we had 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.480 three drives, you know, three touchdown drives, we felt we 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.959 felt comfortable with that. We got some good working for him. 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:50.560 So now Kiko tried to run around his legs bothering 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:51.880 him a little bit. So he tried to run around 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.080 a little bit pregame, and uh just didn't feel one 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.360 hundred percents, so held him out. No, I don't think 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.080 it's his No, it's not his knee, it's not his an. 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.040 It's just a little nagy meed leg injury. I don't 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.760 know particularly what he is. A tendon nightis or something 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.400 like that. So he should be fine. Sorry for anyone 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.600 out here that had any doubts about Sam Rader coming 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:16.280 in here and visit all that time, the zeals, I 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.280 didn't have any debts on Sam, So I know, I'm 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.679 not concerned with what people else I think. So I 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.760 concerned with those three inside backers can go as him. 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.880 We'll go into Atlanta having not played, assuming played together, 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.360 to have limited vs. Yeah, it's not a concern for us. 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.640 I think we got real good death and Inside under first. 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:38.720 I mean, they all you got to look at the film. 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.760 But I think you know, we're we're we're. Um, we 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.560 did some nice things tonight. We don't need to continue 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.880 to build on it, you know. Um, we still haven't 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:47.960 didn't have Zac. You know. I think he's he's another 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.360 component that we can add to it. Um, Josh sat 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.040 out tonight. He's another guy that we can add to it. 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.000 So um, but I was pleased with how they played 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.480 in the three series of those guys were in there. Yeah, 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.439 he's got a leg. He just kind of tweaked it 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.240 on Tuesday. We're just being precautionary with him. If we 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:03.840 were playing a game, he would have kicked tonight. So 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.880 he's he's it's nothing that we're overly concerned with. Give 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.520 kIPS some reps. So um, but if it was, if 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:11.760 he had a kick, he could have kicked to night 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:19.000 really pretty Yeah he did. I thought he was sharp, 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.280 you know, and I think, uh, starting a round in 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.600 the form, you know, he's he's uh, he's always seems 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.160 like he's going north and south. You know, I think 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.160 there's um. But he also I think people forget. I 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.199 think he had fifty five catches last year, but he's 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.120 a real good receiver out of the backs, so he 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.400 had you know, I think in that first couple of 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.360 drives he had six carries and two catches, so he 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:39.920 touched the ball eight times in those in those first 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.160 three drives. But uh, you know, you're starting to see 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.840 that explosion that that um you know we've all seen, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.160 you know, from the other side. Now, it's good to 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:54.160 have him on our side. Yeah, we're not really game planning, 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:55.719 and I don't think they were game planning through, so 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.720 you know, you can't say, hey, they were, you know, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.200 I think they just kind of look out and they 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:00.920 got a personnel out and they're kind of you know, 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.040 just looking at it to its Um, but I think 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:04.800 Darren and we've talked about trying to get the ball 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.080 in his hands more. And obviously, you know you hit 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.920 him on a shallow crossing route that's a three or 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.000 four yard pass and he turns it into a big game. So, um, 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.720 you know, he's just a great weapon to have on 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:20.120 your shot on the two point conversions. Yeah, we just 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.200 want to try to see, you know, get a couple 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:24.400 of things on tape. We can take a look at 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.080 him tid I don't know where the breakdown was on 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:27.559 the on the first one, but well we'll take a 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.720 look at film and see what happened. No, he could 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.080 have come back in what else do you want to 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:39.920 see at a Sam gonna go back now? I think 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.559 like anybody, I mean, there's just we always can continue 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.840 to improve. So I think as we get uh, you know, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.680 every day, I think. And that's the great thing about 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.400 Sam is that he's not going to rest on anything 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.400 he's got to. Um, you know, he's come back from 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.480 he missed a lot of football coming into this. But 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.480 I think he's playing well right now, but he can 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.480 always get better and um be sharper and you know 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.240 that's that's the thing I love about And we'll be 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.520 back out in the field on Monday, UM, firing and around, 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.160 trying to trying trying to get better, you know, trying 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:06.959 to get a better rapport with the receivers, get a 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.760 better understanding of where they are. Um. So there's there's 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.120 still a lot of a lot of things for us 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:17.880 to work on. Try that was our move. That's what 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.360 we did this week. That was just his turn. And 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.040 you know, we still got two weeks before we play 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.719 uh Atlanta and we finalize that. But we've we've used 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.400 a lot of different combinations and um, you know, try 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.880 to make an educated decision on what's the best best 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:38.440 combination of five out there when we go to Nicols. 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:41.600 Now we just it just how it's expressed itself. We 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.679 still have two more two more weeks of training and 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.560 we'll still go ones on ones, you know this week 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.800 where we get a chance to you know, seeing guys 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.000 matched up with Jordan and some of those guys that 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.280 we put in a slot, so you feel you feel 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:54.960 good about what these guys are. Yeah, we still got 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.000 two weeks, so we're we're I think we're all comfortable 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.960 in our progression in terms of where we are so small. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.560 Obviously it's quick. Yeah, and this is his first year. 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.480 Well he yeah, he did it in college, so I 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.120 you know, I think Sam's just shop. Sam's a really 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.240 good football player, so I think he's he's been real 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:22.640 comfortable in it. I think he enjoys it. So defense practice, yeah, 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.920 I don't put a whole you know, stock. I don't 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:26.720 think there's a lot of game planning that goes on 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.600 in games like this. I know we didn't do a ton. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.440 I know Mike probably didn't do a ton. You're still 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.760 trying to get better, so you know you didn't. They 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.600 didn't have specific matchups and kind of how they did things. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.360 They're just kind of running their stuff more running our 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:46.760 stuff though. First game. Yeah, I mean I think they're okay. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.800 I didn't. I really wouldn't. We're looking at inside linebackers 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.000 unless they make a splash player like a sack or 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.480 an interception of things like that. You really got to 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:59.480 look at the tape so specifically about quarterback, but plays 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:07.280 given them any U tangible when it comes to making it. Now, 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.240 we were just trying to see what going for two 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.440 was like. So I no, I think we didn't. We 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:16.760 didn't look at it that way. So a few big plays, 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.760 although they weren't on the screen. Game. Yeah, that's the 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.240 you know something we gotta It's a little bit to 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:24.520 do with the rushing, a little bit to do with 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.640 the coverage in terms of being able to close it 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.160 down turn it back to your help. But those are 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.640 things Usually we've we've been a very good defense against screens. 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.280 I think our defensive line does a great job sniffing 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.520 those out. So and then sometimes it may be the 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.600 play call may have been a real jet rush up 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.200 field and they're getting upfield. Um, but you know, sometimes 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:42.640 you got to give I think green Bay called them 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.560 a kind of the appropriate time. I think it was 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:45.920 one of those games we get a couple of screens 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.440 on them. I kind of it was one of those 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.240 deals where they where everybody seemed like they were getting 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.360 up field towards the quarterback. So I think the screens helped. 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.800 So thanks guys. All right, there's head coach Chip Kelly 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.520 addressing the media following the Eagles thirty nine to twenty 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.160 six went over the green Bay Packers. We are going 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.720 to hear from quarterback Sam Bradford in just a little 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.800 bit now. One of the positions I want to touch 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.720 on here, like real quick inside linebacker. We saw Michael Kendricks, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.640 we saw Demiko Ryans make their preseason debuts. Great to 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.600 see Demiko out there after he missed the second half 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.000 of last year with the achilles injury. However, Keiko Alonso 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.560 did not suit up. There's a chance that he could 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.520 play in that final preseason game, which usually don't see 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.160 the starters in for that contest. So what do you 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.720 make of the fact that we have not yet seen 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.640 Alonzo to his point in the preseason. Well, I mean, 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.000 obviously they're gonna take their time with trying to bring 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.520 him back his whole concussion that he received a few 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.800 weeks ago. We're not sure exactly where he stands with 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.920 the protocol before he's ready to get back on the field. 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.560 But obviously the Eagles don't feel like he's ready to 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.760 go just yet. Would be completely surprised if he played 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.880 in that fourth preseason game. There's nothing the game for 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.720 him playing in the fourth preseason game. He's not going 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.920 to be out there with starters lined up in front 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.000 of him as a front the front defensive line in 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.440 front of him as another linebacker. Mates wouldn't be out there. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.400 Secondary wouldn't be out there. What's the purpose of Keiko 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.640 Alonso being out there in the fourth preseason game. So 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.760 they're gonna bank on the fact that he's gonna be 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.880 ready to go on Monday Night in Atlanta. But you 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.640 know what, even if he's not ready to play one 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.000 hundred percent of the snaps on Monday Night in Atlanta, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.760 that's the luxury the Eagles have because they have three 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.320 capable starters at the inside position. Michael Kendricks and de 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.320 Mico Ryan's getting their first action tonight. Neither made a 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.320 big splash getting their feet wet in their first game. 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.240 Michael Kendricks overran one play, miss another tackle to me, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.960 totally understandable in his first game back seeing live action. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:46.160 Demiko Ryan's wiley veteran, not worried about him. He'll be 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.040 ready to go, win the seasons, ready to kick off. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.880 So I like what the Eagles have at linebacker. Loved 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.240 their front seven again tonight. Is hard to gauge as 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.520 a unit how well they played because they're playing against 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.880 a rookie and Brett Hunley, who's the third string quarterback 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.040 for Green Bay. He wants to see the execution, that's 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.359 the biggest thing you want to see out that, and 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:10.320 the fact that they did lower their level of intensity 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.480 to come down to the competition. Now, is there anything 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.840 since Alonzo, Look, he's going into his third NFL season, 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.399 he didn't play at all in twenty fourteen because of 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.879 a knee injury. Is there any value for him to 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.560 get just a couple reps just to get the feel 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.159 of what it's like once again, Or the fact that 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:31.800 the Eagles practiced so fast, they're intense workouts that you know, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:33.520 that should be enough to at least get them in 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.960 the flow. Yeah, you mean in that fourth preseason game. 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.240 I just don't see the rationale behind playing him in 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.320 the fourth preseason game. He's too valuable to this team. Again, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.920 he's not going to be out there with starters. He's 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.240 not going to be going against starters from the New 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.720 York Jets. More than likely they're gonna have their backups 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.320 out there. If it's conditioning that we're worried about, stammina 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.199 that we're worried about, he's just gonna have to do 0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:00.320 some extra running, you know, after practice, extra gashers. There's 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.960 nothing like game shape to get you ready. But think 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.080 about this, even if he were to go out there 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.200 for one or two series against the Jets next Thursday night, 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.280 is that gonna make him game ready for Monday night 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.680 in Atlanta. No, it's not the risk, it's not worth 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.000 the reward. In my mind, I think Keiko Alonso, because 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.199 you have Michael Kendricks and Demiko Ryan's as well on 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.640 your team, you can sort of ease Keiko Alonso back 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:25.560 into the fold. Again, he doesn't have to be a 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.640 three down linebacker at the beginning of the season. When 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.399 he does get his wind up and his stamina is 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.280 where it needs to be to where he's game ready 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.600 where he can play three downs, then it won't be 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.200 a problem. But again, they have the luxury right now 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.240 of having Michael Kendricks and Demiko Ryans and Jordan Hicks 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.840 has seen a lot of game action as a rookie 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.560 in these first three three season games. He's gonna play 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:51.080 Thursday as well, So if you need it, there's enough 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.879 depth there in the inside you don't have to take 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.840 unnecessary risk with Keiko Alonso. I just think he's just 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.359 too valuable to this team to run him out there 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.640 in the fourth season game. I agree with that sentiment, 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.879 I wonder if Demiko Ryans is like I thought, I 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.240 wasn't playing a thousand snaps again this season. That's the 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.240 one thing. It's Look, it's fine at the beginning of 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.240 the season as long as you get to kurtail it 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.840 back at some point. So we gotta work Alonzo in there. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.040 But Demigo's like, I sign him for another thousand snaps 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.280 again this season, so you shouldn't have to. No. No, 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.320 that was the whole point of making the overhaul at 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.280 the position, which was something that they really want to address, 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.600
