WEBVTT - Postgame Show: Eagles Lose 17-9 vs the Seahawks 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.439 Eagles Entertainment. Okay, the Eagles able to get a touchdown, 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:09.160 but not able to get over the hump against Seattle 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 seventeen to nine. Year final score here today in Philadelphia. 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.480 Thanks for joining us on the postgame show, Amy Campbell, 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.599 fran Duffy, I greased, guys. The Eagles fault to five 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.759 and six. Not a game that they're probably going to 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:24.200 be too proud of here. A lot of a lot 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.240 of difficulties on offense, a lot of good stuff on defense. 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.280 Kind of same theme that we saw last week with 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.840 New England, Like yeah, I mean, start on that offensive 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.800 side of the ball, not being able to move it. 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.280 Then when they had opportunities to move the ball got 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.920 inside Seattle's territory with it. They turned the ball over 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.639 a couple of times against the team like Seattle, who 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.280 didn't come out with their hair on fire today. They 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.680 didn't come out clicking on all cylinders either, But the 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:53.040 Eagles not able to take advantage of that, and eventually 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.960 the Seahawks too many turnovers, that's what doomed this team today. 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.920 Five turnovers is not really something you can overcome very much. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.840 In the NFL, four straight games, this defense has held 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.120 the opponents under our seventeen or under wow. I mean, 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.120 that's all you can ask for if you're a defense. 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.600 I know that was something that Jim Johnson preach was, Hey, 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.160 if we holding the seventeen or less, we feel pretty good. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:13.680 And they've been able to do it over the last month, 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.960 all right. Dave Spernaro standing by from Lincoln Financial Field. Dave, 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.520 you're right there, feeling the vibe, feeling the energy of 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.560 the crowd, the energy around the Eagles bench. Take us 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:29.120 through it, what's going on, and the fans deserve to 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.560 be upset. Very very poor performance once again by an 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.640 offense that just look, it's the same drum we've been 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.399 beating all year. Can't get the football down the field, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.480 really bad ball security. Carson wentz booing, got booed right 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.319 there as he ran off the field into the tunnel. 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.960 And Carson's playing very poorly. I mean, the right side 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.920 of the offensive line was a disaster today. Brandon Brooks 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:58.120 goes out with the illness and they're already missing Lane Johnson, 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:04.680 Andre Dillard, bench, Matt Pryor and Hella Pulavati Viti playing 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.320 the second half of this game on the right side 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.320 of the line. That's a far far cry from an 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.200 all pro tandem of Brooks and Johnson. But whatever it is, 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.080 the Eagles got to find a way to fix Carson Wentz. 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.400 And I know that he's throwing to receivers who don't 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.560 have great speed, and I know that they're not catching 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.840 everything for him. But there are too many times when 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.640 he's just not looking comfortable in the pocket. He's holding 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.639 onto the ball too long, he's making bad decisions. His 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.560 ball security in the last few games here in the 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.600 pocket has not been good. So a lot of things 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.960 wrong with the Eagles offense starting with number eleven. Yeah, 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.880 I gotta agree with you on that, Dave. You know 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.680 I looked at this you're looking at this game today. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.560 This wasn't a game that was about drop passes from 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.600 the skill position players or Carson not getting enough help 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.360 on that side of the ball. You know, pays him 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.480 me to say it starts with number eleven and the 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.560 way that he played today I think really hampered this 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:03.080 offense being able to capitalize on some opportunity there early 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.600 in the game. He just doesn't look comfortable in the 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.320 pocket to me, whether it's the pocket awareness or his 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.760 ability to let the ball go on time, and I'm 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.360 just wondering whether or not he's able to see the 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.440 entire field and use the entire field as opposed to 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.040 cutting off the field and limiting himself as to where 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.760 he can go with the football. What are you seeing 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.920 down from the field. I don't see a lot of 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.800 receivers wide open, first of all. So in defensive Carson, 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:35.040 that is one thing that is happening. The look he 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.760 throws to Zach Ertz. A lot he throws too, he 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:44.200 throws to Dallas Goddard, he throws to Miles Sanders when 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.160 he has a chance to and but he's not getting 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.040 the ball outside. And look, not a lot of separations. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:56.720 But there are times when you must trust throwing anticipation. 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.240 I look, I don't know, I don't know it. When 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.160 things don't work, you just you look all you go, 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:08.680 hey boy, this offense, which was so creative, now it's 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.720 not creative at all. That's not on and so it's 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.440 just it just doesn't seem to be. There's no sync 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.120 at all with this Eagles offense. They look the first possession, 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.400 you feel it here there's a little bit of momentum 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.760 going on. The Eagles get down the field and you know, 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.680 they kick a field goal and you thought, ah, jeez, 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.560 there's a chance right there, you get seven points, and 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.479 they didn't capitalize on it. After the Dallas Goddard fumble, 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.119 the Eagles get the ball right back and they didn't 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:42.200 capitalize on it. So, I mean, it just it's just 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.920 every quarterback goes through it. Carson really hasn't gone through 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.840 this kind of struggle. The struggles he had last year 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.440 were a different kind of struggle. So this is a 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:56.080 very critical time in the development of Carson Wentz. He's 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.320 not getting a lot of help from a protection standpoint, 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.400 certainly did not today. He's not thrown to Pro Bowl 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.000 all Pro wide receivers. We get that, but there are 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.200 times when you've got to make the play or at 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.480 least keep your team out of a bad situation. And 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.760 that just didn't happen today, and it didn't happen last 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.720 week either. Right, Very well, said Dave. We'll let you 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.000 get into the locker room. There a lot of reacting 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.520 going to be happening after this game. Thanks so much, 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.559 Thank you, fran I think really well said there by David. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.560 It's kind of my sense that I had as I've 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.800 been watching Carson in the last few weeks, and I'm 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.880 just kind of getting into my emotional intelligence of what 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.799 I'm seeing. This can't be easy for him, and there's 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.920 something about adversity that changes a person and you kind 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.800 of see them click into their own sense of identity 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.240 a little bit more. And you see a lot of 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.600 athletes go through it, especially once who have success at 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.159 every level of their career. When it gets really hard, 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.240 they are able to kind of find this new level. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.080 And I don't know if I've seen him kind of 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.839 get there yet. This is a different type of adversity 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.760 that I don't think we've seen him face. And I think, 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.720 you know, Dave kind of alluded to that as well. Yeah, 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.039 I think honestly that there's a lot of nuance that 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.680 needs to be had with this discussion because I think ultimately, 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:02.919 you know, football is a team game. We talked about this. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.080 It takes all eleven guys, right, So, yeah, one one 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.760 small little error on any given play, whether it's a 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.479 miss block or a drop or a wrong route, the 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.720 guy's not being on the same page. That can get 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.080 you know, that can end a drive or it can 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.400 keep a drive going. That's in a micro sense. But 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:19.880 then when you look at from a macro sense, and 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.800 I look at Carson Wentz and you know, you lose 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.520 to Sean Jackson, you lose Alston Jeffrey, You're going into 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.640 this game without Nelson Aglore as well. You're down your 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.640 top running back in Jordan Howard, You're down Lane Johnson. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.040 You lose Brandon Brooks in the first quarter. Your team 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.479 is struggling. There's a lot of adversity that this whole 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.560 team has gone through. From from a big picture standpoint, 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.120 it's a lot. It's a lot. And as a young 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.320 quarterback who's still trying to kind of come into his 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.479 own and say, this is my team. I'm trying to 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.480 put this, you know, put my stamp on it, it's 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.159 it's a lot. It's a lot to handle. So I 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.440 think ultimately it's a Dave said, it's a very critical 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.919 part in his development where we're at a very critical 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.479 stage right now for him. We know the kind of 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.160 player that he can be, we know the kind of 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.000 play he's one of the most talented passers in the league. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.200 We saw Russell Wilson make some bad throws today, they're 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.080 able to bounce back, so Now it's a small picture, 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.320 all right, next week against Miami, how does he bounce back? 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.920 Big picture twenty twenty twenty twenty one, how does Carson 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.480 Wentz continue to look down the road? It's not about 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.560 next week, it's about big picture with this team and 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.680 knowing you've got your franchise quarterback, you've got to continue 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.160 to you know, obviously, look, the guys around him have 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.840 to get better. But when you look at it, you 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.200 can we can point to any route and say, man, 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.480 that was a bad throw, that was a terrible interception, 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.720 that was a bad sack from Carson Wentz there, Yes, 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.760 and that individual play. But I think it's a culmination 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.800 of all of these factors coming in because football is 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.920 the ultimate team game and going in all that stuff 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.360 is going on mentally as well. Yeah, that mental component 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.720 is huge, and I think you know, he's never going 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.040 to point the finger at anybody else on this team. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.480 He's always going to take full responsibility for all of that, 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.320 whether it's on him or not. He's going to do that, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.200 which is you know, kind of the job as the 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.160 leader is to always say, look, it doesn't matter where 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:58.600 the breakdown was. At the end of the day, like 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.000 we're all accountable, and he's absolutely always going to be 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.200 doing that kind of thing as well. And you know 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.280 he's also going to continue to work his butt off 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.880 to impression. I mean, he's not going to short change 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.679 you on a hard day's work. He's going to continue 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.920 to work to try to get this fixed. He knows 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.679 that he needs to play better. And when you're down 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.200 the type of talent that they are on the offensive 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.720 side of the ball, a lot of our eyes are 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.640 going to focus on how does the quarterback play? Can 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.679 his play sort of ignite everyone around him and sort 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.240 of lift up their spirits? And I think the one 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.240 thing that was a little discouraging the day not that 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.200 he made a bunch of bad throws or anything of 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.240 that nature. I think it was some of the this 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.760 sort of simple plays that would keep them out of 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.200 negative situations that I would have liked to have seen 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.880 Carson make, Like now you're getting rid of the footballs 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.560 that are holding onto it and that turned into a 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.600 fumble dumping the ball off the mouse Sanders in the flat. 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.840 You know that may not have led to a touchdown, 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.199 but that's a play where who knows, mouse may make 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.800 someone miss and it does turn into a touchdown, but 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.720 if you overthrowing him by three yards, he doesn't have 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.440 a chance to do anything. So I think Fran touched 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.440 on something that's very key, and I don't know if 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.000 Carson will ever be able to sort of shake it. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.719 The guy puts a lot of pressure on himself. He 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.280 wants to play well. He wants to do well out there, 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.559 and that's what you're seeing right now. He wants it 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:23.200 so bad that sometimes the simpler throws become the harder 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.320 ones to make because he really wants to be able 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.640 to take that ball and hand it to those guys 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.920 and have something positive happen. But that's just not the 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.439 way the game works. I think going forward he's gonna 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:39.000 be okay because again, his work ethic is impeccable. He's 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.400 going to continue to get better at this, the coaches 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.920 around him going to continue to coach him up. I 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.920 thought the young receivers, when given an opportunity, they made 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.480 plays today. So that's something else that you can take 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.520 away from this game that the more those guys are 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.400 out there and they feel less pressure to have to produce, 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.480 the more they're going to relax. And when as their 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.280 opportunity comes, they'll be able to take advantage of it. 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.360 The way I look at it is this as you're 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.320 an Eagles fan, You're watching this game, and you say, 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.520 you know what this this was tough to watch. Offensively. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.160 Defensively was awesome. We'll talk about that. Yeah, Offensively, this 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.240 was very tough, tough to watch. It's been tough for 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:15.480 the last seven quarters to watch this offense. But this 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.679 two shall pass. Like at some point, everybody's gonna get 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.679 everything's gonna come together, The speed's gonna come back. I 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.960 don't again, I don't know what we're talking about this 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.720 game next week against Miami, the week after that, when 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.440 we get down the run or this divisional run here. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.560 Big picture wise, you have to like what this team 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.839 has put how this team is put together. There are 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.400 pieces in place that you can work with moving forward. 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.040 You know, they still have to be able to say, 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.599 all right, we have to execute it and continue to 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.920 develop some of these young players. Let's talk a little 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.679 bit about that defense and the defense. Defensive performance here, 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.640 Russell Wilson had thrown two interceptions coming into this one, 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.640 when we saw Rodney McCloud had one, and then kind 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.480 of threw it backwards to Vonte Maddox. Also, this was 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.440 like one of the I've never seen so many like 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.800 laterals in like side, like like a college game like 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.880 kind of game, with just all of the wild ball. 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.360 There was a lot of the ball was in the 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.000 air end the ball was on the ground a lot 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:06.840 more than I'm used to seeing it in the NFL. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.079 It was wild, which I'm sure it's fun if you're 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.960 on the winning end of it. Let's talk about this 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.199 defensive performance that was. You know, Russell Wilson didn't have 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.800 that impressive stout line that we're used to seeing from him, 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:18.880 but he still was able to do just enough to 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.080 get his team to win, which is why he's so dangerous. 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.120 Six sacks the defense, and it's not even just that 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.599 the defense was constantly in his face. I'm going to 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.560 talk about it later when I break some film down, 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.120 because there are plenty of examples of this defense getting 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.040 after the quarterback. So it was tough for me to 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:35.760 try and pick just one. I think I know which 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.560 play I'm gonna do. But I think when you talk 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.719 about this defense and what they've been able to do 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.439 over the last couple of games, over the last few games. Really, 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.920 as I mentioned, seventeen points are less over the last 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.880 four games played. They're continue to hold up. They're into 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.679 the bargain. The bargain the rushes there, the linebackers were 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.120 playing well. The secondary is really coming together. I know, 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.360 they gave us some big plays. Guess what. The Seahawks 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.800 offense was the most explosive pass game in the NFL 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.079 this season. Coming into this game. They held in the 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.040 seven team. You're gonna they're gonna get theirs. Uh, you know, 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.600 they score a touchdown off another trick play. That's the 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.880 second in two weeks. These teams are trying to know 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:11.720 they have to go deep into their bag of tricks 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.920 just put up points against the Eagles team. And then 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.319 they give up kind of a you know, I don't 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.640 want to say a cheap but they give up that 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.040 long touchdown run. That's a tough play, all right, You 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.640 know that was a tough one. The only touchdown they've 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.079 given up really of circumstance in the last two weeks. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.559 I think ultimately this defense is playing at a really, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.560 really high level. It's the only reason we've been in 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.079 the last two ball games. And you can say they 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.400 outplayed Buffalo's defense in Chicago's defense then led to victories 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.160 for us because the offense and those games weren't explosive either. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.040 It's just that the defense was playing so well and 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.960 those other teams quarterbacks aren't Tom Brady and Russell Wilson. 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.120 I'm with frame. When you look at what this defense 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.000 has been able to do over the last couple of weeks, 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.000 you got to tip their cat to them. They're the 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.160 only reason that you've been in these ball games and 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.760 had the opportunity to even win these games. So unfortunate 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:03.280 the offense can't necessarily capitalize on their play Russell Wilson 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.640 hasn't looked like this as a quarterback all year long, 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.720 pretty much. And it wasn't that he turned the ball 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.800 over a lot, but you forced him into a lot 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.520 of third and long situations. Some of them he converted, 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.040 others or most he did not convert. And this defense 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.800 continued to give them opportunities by taking the ball away 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.320 and we just couldn't capitalize on it. It's a product 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.600 of having all their guys back right now. So now 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.559 Jim Schwartz can go deep in that playbook and come 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.240 up with some play designs, particularly in man coverage because 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.240 he has his full secondary back and that defensive front 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.000 four starting to play well. I like that. Jim Schwartz 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.400 has also bring an extra pressure. I think Malcolm may 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.199 have had what three sacks today, at least two sacks. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.240 He was in the backfield an awful lot. Rodney McCleod 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.120 making plays to day. Anytime your safeties are becoming a 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.920 part of your rush package, that's going to be difficult 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.040 for any offense to be able to protect. And Jim 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.640 Schwartz give him a lot of credit. Man, he's done. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.280 He's been able to dig into that playbook a lot 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.040 deeper than last month or so. It has really given 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.720 this team a chance to win. Now in the last 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.920 four games they're two and two. But if not for 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.480 his defense, you could very easily be on for give 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.200 you a sense, sorry, we'll give you a sense real 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.120 quick of what this defense will be able to do. 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.280 Looking at the stats, Russell Wilson completed thirteen of twenty 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.520 five passes. Yeah, Carson Wentz completed thirty three passes on 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.040 his own. So when you look at this twelve incompletions 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.360 for Russell Wilson, that's as many as Carson Wentzatz. We 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.480 could talk about Russell Wilson or about Carson Wentzon's struggles 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.400 in this game, Russell Wilson had just as many incompletions. 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:34.840 You know, I kind of think I think that kind 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.800 of speaks to the defensive play. That doesn't excuse Carson's play, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.640 but going to the defense speaks a lot. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.800 And if you look at the total offensive yards there, 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.000 I mean, the Eagles only four behind the Seahawks on 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.520 that one. So let's hear from coach on today's game. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.040 It's very disappointing. I thought. Defensively, I told the defense 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.840 they played outstanding. Again, you know, outside of a couple 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.560 of plays. Offense, obviously it's just not good enough with 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:05.040 the mistakes, you know, the turnovers, the execution, um, just 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:09.440 not good enough to win inaccurate, right, and then he 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.160 was just turning the ball over in your view, what's 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.800 going on? Well, it's it's hard sometimes, you know, and 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:21.000 you know, playing that position is tough anyway. Um, obviously 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:22.920 a lot of pressure and a lot of you know, 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.640 we ask a lot of our quarterback and a lot 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.960 of Carson and and you know, the one thing you 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.400 can't do in that position is just put pressure on yourself, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.680 you know, to perform. You just gotta let you gotta 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.200 let things unfold, you know, and sometimes you can do 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.960 that when I think sometimes, as you know, you feel 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.600 like the offense is struggling, and you feel like you 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.200 have to make a play, and and you just gotta 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.760 let the kind of the game unfold, Let the offense unfold. 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.640 Just let everybody work for you. And don't feel like 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.320 you got to make every play you said to him 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.360 during the game or at half time, try to correct 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.720 some days, I mean, you know, just again just those 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.600 same things. Just let everything kind of unfold. And listen, 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.280 We've always said this, it's not about one guy. But 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.120 you know, obviously, you know, our quarterback is is a 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.640 big part of our success and the things we do, 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.720 and and uh, you know, sometimes you know, even as 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.240 a play caller, you just got to get back to 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:12.760 some of the basic play some of the things that 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.160 you have a lot of time invested on and and 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.160 and get back to that and and try to get 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:23.600 something wrong. Well, at halftime, we made a switch, went 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.680 with big v Um. Just felt like at the time, Um, 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.560 you know, just needed to switch it up, make make 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.560 it make something happen there and and it went with 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.640 a big v in the second half noise. Um, he 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.560 just you know, got sick. Uh and and just just 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.640 had an illness and uh, you know we had to 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.080 make it make a sudden change anything related to the 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.720 previous battles with things. I haven't talked to the doctors yet. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.040 Carson was obviously savoring his hand. He went back to 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.200 the lock room, came back. He tried on a glow 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.400 and to different that he communicate to you at all 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.920 how bad it was hurting. Now he had you know, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.520 he tried to glove early in the game, pulled it 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.000 off in the rain, the rain and stopped. Um and 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.720 everything everything was okay with his hand. Mentioned the defense 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.720 played well in that game. Um, as the play caller 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.120 on offense, do you feel like the offense has kind 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.800 of letting the other side of the ball down right now? Um, 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.800 you know what, we don't. We don't point fingers like that. 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.360 You know, we're we're a team and when we when 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.000 we win, we win as a team. When we lose, 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:20.920 we lose his team and today we lost as a team. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.560 Did you realize that Carson had hurt his hand and 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.520 looked like quarter. Yeah, were there any consideration of replacing 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.359 him with Josh? Looked like he came back and maybe 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.280 got X Rayser got examined. We no, I mean, everything 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.080 everything that the information I got in game was was 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.239 positive with with Carson, So we kept kept playing did 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.159 he get it next right now? He did and it 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:48.600 was negative. Well, the piles and yeah, it's unfortunate. Um, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.040 you know big v uh obviously just overset the guy 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.800 and or really kind of set past that the guy 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.199 and and and the d N disrupted the timing of 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.240 the play, which you know, we gotta do a better 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.120 job there. We gotta coach little better on that play. 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:07.080 And um, just our our failed execution. O. When your 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.280 defense played so well against an MVP Kennedy with a 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.560 you know, a pretty good offense at home, your defense 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:15.800 has produced the last couple of weeks, and the new 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.280 offense hasn't. I mean, is it frustrated seeing that side 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.160 of the ball played so well on the other side 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.760 of the ball not pulled up the end of it? Yes, 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.119 Why did you want to run that play on that 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:30.080 third down? Just to style the defense? Um? You know, 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:31.960 the defense the structure during the game, I mean the 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:33.840 way the way it was. We had we had had 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.240 some success, not necessarily on that play, but the little 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.880 shovel passed to Dallas in the game, very similar play. Um. 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.800 And and uh, we just didn't execute, you know, we 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.119 knew we gotta again, that's on me. I gotta, I 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.440
