WEBVTT - Post-Game Show: Eagles Lose 24-27 vs Lions 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.200 Twenty seven to twenty four, your final score as the 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:07.160 Eagles fall to the Lions here in South Philadelphia. Welcome 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.280 to the postgame Show, presented by Rico Amy Campbell Ike 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.520 Greased two weeks in a row, a heartbreaker, down to 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:16.360 the last minute, down to the last drive for the Eagles, 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.200 and once again they come up on the losing side 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.760 of things. Yeah, I mean, this is a difficult game 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.239 to digest. This one's gonna hurt for a while they 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.600 play again. Thursday said they don't have long to let 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.240 this game linger. When you talk about another close game 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.600 where you know, you look at the early miscuse in 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.239 the game, and the Eagle's gonna look back on this 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.600 game and say, we beat ourselves in this game. This 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.040 is This is a disappointing loss at home for a 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.320 team that you expect to play a lot better in 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.640 their building. Yeah, a close loss like it was last 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.880 week on the road against the Falcons, but a very 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.960 different type of game. Let's head out now to link 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.400 a financial field. Dave Spadero standing by debut or on 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.880 hand for this game. Another roller coaster for the Eagles. 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.280 What is your initial thoughts just as you're kind of 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.760 processing what we've just unfold. Well, the Philadelphia Eagles fumbled 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.680 what three times? They were called three times for offensive 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.280 pass interference. They came back in the third quarter and 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.720 immediately let up a drive for a touchdown. They had 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.440 a chance amazingly at the end after the blocked punt, 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.080 hurt themselves first of all with the block in the 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.560 back penalty of foolish penalty, and then move the ball 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.600 not a bit. And so this is what teams that 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.440 are still trying to find themselves are like they as 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.480 I said, you know, I mean, you've got to learn 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.720 how to close out halves, which the Eagles did a 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.160 very poor job of in the first half, and then 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.080 you've got to close out in the fourth quarter when 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.000 you are gifted the football at midfield. So I mean, 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.680 it's extremely disappointing loss. It's a critical loss that's now 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:53.080 two losses in the NFC, and an opportunity once again 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.400 late in the game where they couldn't put together a 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.360 drive to get points on the board. And so those 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.960 are my initials. It's a team that is really struggling 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.960 to play the kind of football that everybody thought it 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.400 would be able to play when this season began, and 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.800 I know that there was no DeShawn Jackson, and I 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.160 know that there was no al Shan Jeffrey, and I 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.520 know that Nelsa that Dallas Goddard was at dropped a 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.840 wide open pass another mistake. But I also see things 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.440 like a pass rush that is not getting home. I've 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.200 see a team that just doesn't seem like it's faster, quicker, 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.160 stronger than these other teams, particularly latent games. So it's 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.440 very disappointing to be one and two and there's just 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.720 no time to lay around because the Green Bay Packers 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.200 a road trip coming in a matter of seventy two hours. Dave, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:44.400 how do you think they get passed? The whole close game? 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.760 The planning, I mean planning close games and being able 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.120 to close out these football games. Most of the games 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.120 in the National Football League are one possession games, and 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.520 I think over the last eighteen or nineteen games, the 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.680 record in those close games haven't been very good for 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.600 this football team. And I'm just trying to figure out 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.320 is it a mental block here that they It seems 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.720 like you get in these positions and we just don't 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.760 seem the execute at our best lead. Well, you know, 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.639 I think what's interesting, Ike is that you come out, 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.519 you've got two time outs left, You've got plenty of 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.440 time on the clock, and there's no threat. It felt 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.600 like of the run game, right, It felt like the 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.800 Eagles were gonna drop back and throw the football. And 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.679 when you don't have that multidimensional threat, it really makes 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.360 it a little bit easier for the defense, right. I mean, 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.280 the teams have been able here the last couple of 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.119 weeks to pressure Carson. They have been able to cover 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.000 on the outside. JJ Arthega Whiteside really hasn't shown the 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.920 ability to separate. The Eagles are throwing the ball down 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.320 the field of Darren Sprowles who had to push off 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.040 to create separations. That happened right in front of me. So, 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.360 you know, I think ultimately you want to have a 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.880 balanced offense, you got to play with confidence, and I 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.840 think the only way to overcome that ike is to 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.160 go out and win some of these late close games 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.920 that the Eagles have just not been able to put away. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.440 And it's something that Carson Wentz and I understand how 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.160 it's gonna work here on talk radio, social media, etc. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.960 Carson Wentz in position very similar to last year the 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.920 Carolina game, unable to put points on the board, plenty, 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.560 time on the clock, great field position, defense on its heels. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.040 Eagles did nothing with it. Damn. I look over the 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.080 stats here. The Eagles really dominated in every single category. 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.880 Time of possession, it means nothing because they gave up 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.479 a kickoff return for a touchdown. Yeah, they fumbled the 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.080 ball three times, two of them. The Lions recovered and 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.880 took short fields and put up two field goals. So 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.160 I mean those stats are hollow statistics. They really don't 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.000 mean anything. Time of possession, none of that stuff matters. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.560 What matters is that the Eagles were given an opportunity. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.080 Defense played well enough in the red zone to hold 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.400 the lines, the two field goals after those fumbles lost, 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.080 and there the special teams come up big at the 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.239 end the offense in the third quarter late there puts 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.440 a touchdown on the board. Eagles unable to sustain momentum. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.080 And this is what happens to teams that just haven't 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:08.320 found their way in a particular season. Costly mistakes cost them. Dave, 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.560 thanks so much for joining us, and I'm sure we'll 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.320 be hearing from you as the week unfolds. From inside 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.279 the locker room. And how everybody's feeling in there. Thanks 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.200 so much. All right, let's get to your takeaways. Really. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.560 I mean, great to hear from Dave on the field 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:23.839 there and just kind of you know, he said, I 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.480 was standing right there when I saw that offensive pass interference, 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.040 just a lot of you know, you can dominate the 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.120 stat sheet, but costly mistakes and missed opportunities just can't 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.520 get that won't turn into a win in the NFL. Yeah, 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.760 and that's my first takeaway from the game. I mean, 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.159 when you look at these three games, this team continues 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:40.960 to get off to somewhat of a slow start. I know, 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.480 they got three points on the opening drive. That was 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.760 certainly great to see, but then it was it was 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.839 a tough sled And after that you talked Dave mentioned 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.800 the fumbles. You can't have fumbles. I mean drop passes, right, 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.680 you give up a kickoff return for a touchdown. These 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.400 are things that you can't do if you want to 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.440 win in the NFL. Makes it a much tougher role 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.719 for you to toll to to overcome when you constantly 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.120 shoot yourself in the foot three offensive pass and afferences. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.719 I mean, listen, we don't like the cat saw a 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.159 game that had three offensives. I can't even remember. Yeah, 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.279 I can't even remember. It doesn't often you can say 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.719 their judgment calls, but two of the three were questionable, right, 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.919 but it could have gone either way. They decided to 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.359 call them. Once you get your arms extended from the body, 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.919 it basically gives the official excuse to call a push 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.479 off there. Having two on macting that last one on 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.240 darren spros obviously hurt because those are drive stallers and 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.120 that's what that's what that what what happened. And you know, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.839 for them to even find themselves in this game late 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.880 was a surprise, especially the way to defense play. And 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.120 then you talk about Carson's performance, Right, We're gonna always 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.480 look at how the quarterback performs, and it was an 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.080 up and down day for Carson. The win has been 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.279 in the first three games. You know, a lot of 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.080 meaningless yards in between the twenties, not necessarily putting points 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.000 on the board, and he's not getting help when he 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.040 needs to help. Guys dropping passes. You can't have that. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.240 But Dave mentioned you get the ball twice late in 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.880 the game with an opportunity to take your team down 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.720 the field. That's what you want. That's what Carson is 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.520 built to do. That's why I pay you franchise type money. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.640 He's gonna learn his career. That's how you're going to 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.080 be judged, fairly or unfairly. That's what's gonna happen. In 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.520 the last two weeks, Carson has had an opportunity, not 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.640 by himself obviously, but had the opportunity with the ball 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.000 in his hands to put his team in position either 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.480 win the game or at least tie the game. And 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.760 the Eagles are sitting at one and two right now, 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.920 and then I look at you know that block punt, 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.240 I mean that block field goal. That was huge. That 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:47.840 was huge, Right, You find yourself, you find yourself with 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:52.040 an opportunity late in the game to steal this game, 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.640 you know, to steal this game away from the Lions. 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.000 And even when you do something great, great job from 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:02.040 Malcolm Jenkins blocking that pump. That was an awesome recovery 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.520 from Russell Douglas the return, then you get a pointless 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.960 block in the bag. You get a pointless block in 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.680 the bag where you put you instead of your team 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.920 and having the ball, I believe down in the red zone. 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.800 I thought he was going to score on that return. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.600 Instead of that, you're back at the fifty yard line 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.560 starting that drive there, and it makes it that much 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.760 more difficult for your offense where you had at least 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.920 a guaranteed field goal attempt. Once your offense gets on 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.760 the field after that fumal recovery and the return, now 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.560 you have to get into field goal position and you're 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.880 forcing these receivers to have to make plays. And what 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.440 Detroit did there, Amy is they weren't going to let 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.400 you throw the ball to zach Ertz. They were taken away. No, 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:45.920 I mean, he was pretty much taken out of the 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.880 equation right, especially on the final drive. So now you 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.040 need mac Hollins, who had an opportunity to catch the 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.600 ball couldn't come up with it. Now, obviously these aren't 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.680 easy plays to be made, but this is the national 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.079 football and that's what you really saw that Patricia do 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.520 with his defense is, like you said, takeaway zach Ertz 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.400 and forced the younger, less experienced guys to be the 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.080 ones to make plays. J j Ra Sega, Whiteside, Matt Hollands, 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.880 mac Hollands and Dallas Godder there and you could really see, 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.120 you know, all the talent in the world. But you 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.280 could see kind of that inexperience takeover a little bit 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.920 for those guys, and this is the big time and 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.400 this is when you gotta step up and make plays. 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.400 You know, those young guys did a great job filling 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.800 in last week in a tough situation, but they knew 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.960 they were going to be counted on the day. And 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.800 when you're playing with a guy like Carson, he's not 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.600 going to force the ball. You don't want him forcing 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.880 the ball into zach Ertz, so he has to trust 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.280 the other guys on the team has spread the ball around. 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.600 And that's what you saw on that final drive is 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.560 that Detroit said, you're not gonna beat us with your 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.319 two best receivers. If you're young guys catch the ball great. 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.960 If they don't, then we go off the field as winners. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.360 And that's what happened. Let's talk about that line's kickoff 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.600 return for the touchdown a hundred yards all the way 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.440 to the house to really set the tone in this game. 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:57.960 What did you see on that play? How did that 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.640 even happen? Oh, guy's not getting all blocked. Guy's not 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.520 getting all blocks. You know, the lines that a great 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.559 job is setting up this return, but there were a 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.640 few guys in place if you just shared the block 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.840 and go make the tackles, So guys still leaning on blocks, 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.920 not being able to get off the blocks. And I 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.840 don't know if they were surprised he brought the ball 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.640 out or that he's returning, because you rarely get kickoff 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.959 returns in this league anymore, and it's harder than it's 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.959 ever been. Exactly in the Eagles, I can't even remember 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.600 the last time they gave up a kickoff return. Dave 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.440 Phipps is one of the best special teams coaches in 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.000 the NFL, and you just don't typically see his units 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.120 give up big returns like that. But that when you're 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.360 when you're not playing well, that's that's what happens. You 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.560 find different ways to to beat yourselves or to get 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.240 beat I think when you say to beat yourself to me, 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.480 that's what kind of you know, encapsulates this game. We 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.720 were talking with Dave just about the statistics, and like 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.480 I said, the Eagles really dominating every single category, even 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.200 looking at the penalties, I mean, four penalties for thirty yards. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.200 That's not the worst thing that you've heard, but it's 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.840 the timing of those things. We have them offensive passing 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.439 the right, which is so weird, and it's it's that 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.280 the timing of those things that sometimes it costs you 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.280 a lot and sometimes it doesn't cost you as much. 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.199 And today it was very bad timing and very costly 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.640 penalties for the Eagles. Yeah, it really was. And you know, 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.720 not to make any type of excuse, you know, you know, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.439 you never want to blame officials for your play out there, 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.960 you know. So they're gonna be calls that go against you, 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.080 and they're gonna be calls that go in your favor. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.800 You just have to play through those things. The Eagles 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.120 had opportunities, you know, I tell you of Carson that 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.719 last throw to j j Arthega. Whiteside probably wishes he 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.360 put another yard or two on that throw to give 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.520 him a legit opportunity to catch that. There may have 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.800 gotten the defender, may have got a fingertip on it, 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.199 but that's still a play that you go up as 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:43.880 a big guy and he was brought here as a 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.800 fifty fifty guy. You pull that in, You find a 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.600 way to pull that in. And that's really what's that 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.400 what you saw a couple of years ago when this 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.880 team was rolling. Was that they got contributions from everyone. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.679 You know, Jess, wasn't this guy or that guy? Um? 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.920 I can remember that year they had three receivers or 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.719 if you include the tight end with at least eight 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.360 touchdowns day year. So that means the ball is being 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:09.040 spread around, and right now the others aren't necessarily stepping 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.960 up and contributing. They are gonna need to make some plays. 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.760 You're gonna be without al Sean possibly and Deshan in 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.880 this next game as well, so you're gonna be relied upon. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.640 And until these guys start coming up with the plays 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.120 at the right time, we're gonna be looking at eight 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.000 games like this. Yeah, are we do we finish your takeaways? 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.000 Did you get through all for we did? Okay? All 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.040 right now, so let's let's go to Meryl Kim and 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.720 let's see what Merril and Mike how the game was 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.880 for them. Let's take it away. That goes WIMPs. He 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.440 steps up, he's looking, he starts to run, he's across 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.959 the fifteen, the ten, the five, he does and he 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:48.040 is Let's see do they say his knee? They have 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.160 not given a touchdown? Sick ball. I think as the 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.800 stops at the war a nineteen yard runner. Why Carson 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.719 WIMPs Howard the tailbuck, They give it to Howard. The 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.000 wars in for the touchdown. Jordan Howard, with his first 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.360 NFL touchdown as a Philadelphia Eagle, gets a great block 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.520 from Alexell his play action Stafford back. He steps up, 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.000 he lets it fly and at ten complete Marvin Jones 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.319 was opened on the nearest sideline and flying across the 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.000 field was Malcolm Jenkins and he deflected it off of 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:26.360 its target. Efty backfield, third and five ball on the 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.800 Lions twenty. Can the Eagles move the chains right here? 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.040 Wentz back, Wentz looking, Wentz fires, he completes it and, 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.600 spinning his agile art at the ten, breaks the tackle. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.839 He's in for the touchdown. That's what he does. That's 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.400 what he does, and the ball remained in his grasp. 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.199 This is an outstanding job of catching the football, securing 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.520 it by Nelton Agilar and his third and goal from 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:55.640 the two. Wentz sake said, he's rolling, he looks, he fires, touchdown, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.920 penalty flagged thrown as it goes to Aglar who goes 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:05.040 in untouched ball of spotted kick gets blocked it's blocked, 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.040 it's picked up by the Eagles, running with the football. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.480 Running is Douglas. Douglas on his feet, Douglas still running 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.319 with the football. Finally the Eagles have him down. He's 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:24.640 down outside the twenty. There's a late penalty flag on 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.520 the field. But what an outstanding job of getting a 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.920 hand on the football on the field goal. I think 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:41.320 it's Malcolm Jenkins a hand on the boat. Okay, Fran 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.400 definitely joining us now on the postgame show presented by 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.880 Rico Fran. A lot to unpack from this one, and 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.760 it really comes down to, like we were saying, a 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.440 few costly mistakes for the Eagles, what are you looking 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.880 to see as you're going in there breaking down the film. Well, 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.000 I think ultimately from an X and NO standpoint, And 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:58.720 you know, we talked about it on the kickoff show. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.320 I you and I talked about it throughout the game. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.360 I thought they did a good job of scheming things 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.000 up from an X and O standpoint to beat man coverage. 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.040 We saw it, and we saw it vertically. We saw 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.160 it in the red zone, we saw it in the 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:09.880 middle of the field. They did a lot of really 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.760 good things to get receivers open. But as you guys 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.400 have talked about, I mean, you had what was it 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.160 seven drops they said on the broadcast. You had three opis, 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.320 you had two fumbles, You had the penalties that were untimely. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.280 That costs you on both sides of all, not just 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.120 on offense. But you know that deep look, we lose 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.320 the game by three points. You know a Keem Spence 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.280 jumps off side on third and goal that gives them 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.640 another shot. Carry on Johnson jumps into the end zone 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.280 for a touchdown that could have been a field goal. 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.120 That's four points. We just game right there. That's one 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.400 play four points. So you know, to me, there were 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.400 costly penalties on both sides. Just a game that look 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.440 a lot of things that you can look whenever you 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.040 have a game like this, and I'm gonna write this 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.560 tomorrow as I write it, every single time there's a 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.120 close loss. Whenever you have a close loss, there are 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.240 going to be plays on both sides. We say, if 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.800 this has gone the other way, we'd have it. We'd 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.680 be talking about a different thing right now. And that's 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.840 why they played the game. Let's talk about the Eagles 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.440 defense a little bit. Still, not any sacks in this game. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.040 It's kind of been a theme throughout this week that 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.800 they haven't been able to get the pressure on the 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.240 quarterback the way that the reputation suggests that they have. 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.000 What did you see from that front and just that 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.640 battle in the trenches when it comes to the Eagles defense. Yeah, 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.560 and sometimes it is tough to tell off the TV 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.960 just to say, Okay, what exactly did they do, because 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.400 even last week I thought we had that conversation is 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.360 they couldn't get to Matt Ryan. But then you go 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.400 back and you watch the film and you say, well, look, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.360 they did a really good job with scheming things up 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.600 from the screen game like you know this to negate 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.880 the pass rush, screen game play action, missdirection, and then 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.760 three step you know, three step quick balls getting out. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.360 The Eagles actually held Matt Ryan to under fifty percent 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.720 completion in the three step passing game. They were able 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.640 to disrupt him, they just couldn't get home and finished 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.960 for sacks. So I think, ultimately going back and watching 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.920 this film tomorrow, Amy, I'm glad you're asked me the question, 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.240 because that will be something I'm looking at. It did 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:49.760 seem like that there was a lot of chipping. I 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.360 think ultimately, at the end of the day, the coaches 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.040 now they want more pass rush, they'd like to get 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.560 more production because sacks are important. They don't tell the 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.640 whole story when it comes to the pass rush. But 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.480 ultimately you will want to be able to get those 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.920 sacks because they do result in negative plays, stop drives, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.879 things of that nature. But ultimately I can't say that, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:09.879 Oh again, man, the pass rush was terrible tonight. I 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.719 think ultimately you want to look at it and say, Okay, 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.240 what did Detroit do? What did the Eagles not do? 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:15.679 Then we can kind of come to say it to 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.040 some kind of summer on the back end it well 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.119 and even just being able to affect the quarterback. The 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.400 Eagles had four tackles for a loss in this game. 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.119 Matt Stafford completed only fifty six point three percent of 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.720 his passes two hundred and one yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions. 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.360 Not a great day from Matt Stafford. Yeah. I'll tell 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:31.920 you what else, guys. You gotta get off the field 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.440 on third down. Yeah. Earlier in the game, Detroit converting 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.840 third downs and we know that pass rushing kid, and 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:40.360 I'm gonna let you finish in a minute, But coach 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.280 is already at the podium, so we're gonna check in 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:43.960 and hear what he has to say about this wall 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.439 twice later in that game or any play calls, who 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.320 take back or did you like the planning had? No, 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.080 I wouldn't take any back. We understood exactly what they 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.160 were doing. They obviously were putting pressure with you two 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.240 guys on Zach and trying to eliminate him. And then 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.800 we had one on ones across the board. Um, and uh, 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.959 you know it's just great defense by them, you know. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.560 And UM, it's a good learning experience for our guys. 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.240 Second week in a row, play or play their kind 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.600 of game. Do you worry about the just big, a 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.960 deflating kind of thing. I mean, do both these games 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.159 last two weeks. We're right there if if if yeah, no, 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.480 I mean these guys are. It's a good group. UM. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.720 Talked about it after after the game. I mean, uh, 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.399 you know, UM, this is this is not this is 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.919 not a defining you know moment for our season at all. Again, 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.440 only three games in, but we gotta get some things fixed. 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.720 We know that, UM. And we're working on a short 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.280 week this week. A bunch of one of those things 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.200 in the past. Question of the game, where you guys 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.280 we already again, Yeah, I mean that's something we gotta 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.120 look at. Um generating a pass rush, whether we're four 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.199 or five six, whatever it is. But um, you know, 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.480 guys battled hung in there, and we had opportunities to, 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.000 you know, make some plays on the ball down the field. 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.399 Didn't do it. Um, But listen, there's enough to go 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.000 around in this football game. You know, UM, offense, you know, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:11.639 untimely penalties, UH, fumbles, you know, UM drive killers. You 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.240 know on offense, they kept us from from scoring. UM, 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:20.400
