WEBVTT - Post-Game Show: Eagles Lose 20-24 vs Falcons 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:03.760 While the Eagles overcome a slow start, but in the 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:05.960 end it is not enough to get the win in 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.879 Atlanta twenty four twenty your final score as the Falcons 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:14.080 stand down at the end. I really a brutal way 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.520 for this one to end for the Eagles, with zach 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.520 Ertz on fourth down making that catch being less than 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.000 a yard short there to end the game. Initial thoughts 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.799 as you begin to process all that we've just seen. 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:29.040 Just a tough game. Yeah, I mean, obviously, going in 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.960 on the road against a team like Atlanta coming off 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.239 a tough losses they had last week, you knew this 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.199 would be a hard fault game, and the Eagles just 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:42.240 couldn't overcome somewhat of a slow start, and justine in there, 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.080 got to find a way to pull this game out. Tough, 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.840 valiant effort. You know, give Atlanta credit. They obviously came 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.720 in in a desperate situation planning at home, didn't want 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.080 to go to O and two, and they gave the 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.960 Eagles everything they had tonight. In the Eagles a little 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.080 bit of shorthanded. We'll get to that as the show 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.480 goes on at night, but shorthanded missing key guys early 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.240 in the game and they were really fighting uphill all 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.800 night and really had a chance there late in the game. 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.280 And I know Zach all pro tight end, He's probably 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.560 gonna be kicking himself a little bit. Gotta run that 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.319 route a yard or two, a little deeper past the 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.480 first down markers. Carson is expecting him to be past 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.160 the first down mark and when he hits him with 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.959 that throw, Zach knows that probably wishes he had that 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.280 one back. But a tough, hard fallt game. Eagles come 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.000 up on the short end of this one. Yeah, really 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.240 a roller coaster. A lot of screaming going on in 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.080 this office, a lot of emotions, ups and downs. You 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.440 see a lot of both sides going for it on 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.160 fourth down. Just a lot of excitement on both sides 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:41.600 of the ball. Like I said, we're going to break 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.560 it down. If you're watching us on Facebook, go ahead 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.760 and send us your questions world, do our best to 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.880 get to some of those. Let's go ahead and get 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.080 into your three takeaways. What's the first one for you? Well, 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.240 I think a slow start. I mean on the road, 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.000 a second game in the row, Eagles get off to 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.880 a slow start. It's becoming somewhat of a this heartening Tree. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.800 And when you look at this team, think back to 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.560 where they were in the Super Bowl year and how 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.760 they would get out to a fast start on a 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.880 lot of teams scoring in the first quarter. You know, 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.680 last year it was a little bit of an issue, 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.440 not getting all to a good start offensively. First two 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.280 games so far this year, same troubles, not getting all 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.080 to a good start offensively, whether it's turnovers, whether it's penalties. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.400 They find themselves behind the a ball and have to 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.720 sort of climb out of a hole. And it's a 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.000 lot tougher to do on the road. And that's the 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.280 first thing I noticed to night. You were hoping for 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.160 a fast start on the road against a desperate team 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.680 like Atlanta. We did not get a fast start. Defense 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.040 kept us in the game, but the offense again off 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.480 to a slow song. Well, Eagles scoreless in the first quarter, 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.440 no touchdowns in the first half. And you talk about 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.760 those injuries there, I mean, they were without a lot 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.400 of major pieces on their offense. Dallas Goddard hurt and 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.280 warm ups didn't see the field at all. Deshaun Jackson 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.200 Alshan Jeffries, zero targets to both of those guys, saw 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.040 very limited action there. Jason Kelsey went out for a 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.320 minute for concussion protocol, as did Carson Wentz. There was 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.960 a lot of limited limitations on this offense where the 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.760 story this year has been their depth. Let's keep going 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.120 with your takeaway, what's next? Tell you when you when 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.720 you lose guys the way they lost early in the game. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.280 I mean you're talking about key guys like the Sean Al, 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.120 Sean Dallas Goddard, and makes it a lot harder for 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.600 your offense to really get a flow going. So what 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.079 you're gonna need to do is lean on your defense. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.320 And that's what the Eagles did tonight. They lean on 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.320 their defense. And Jim Schwartz has been very good against 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.800 this Atlanta offense the last three meetings. Able to keep 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.760 this offense under twenty points, able to keep Julio Jones 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.320 out of the end zone. Unfortunately, he's able to get 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.040 in the end zone twice tonight. But I like what 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.320 the defense did early in the game, creating some turnovers, 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.680 allowing the offense to get some short fields to work with. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.400 Really a good game plan from Jim Schwartz today, really 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.080 dialed up the blitzer is able to keep Matt Ryan 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.680 and that offensive line sort of off guard, really keep 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.520 them on their heels. Some big sacks, some big third 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.280 down stops. But I know Jim Schwartz and a lot 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.000 of people out there asking for Coach Sports to dial 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.840 up the pressures, bring more blitzes. Coach Sports warned us 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.520 this week in his press conference about dialing up those pressures, 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.040 and it kind of leaves you exposed on the back 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.559 end when you get to that fourth and three played 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.800 that Julio Jones was able to score that touchdown on 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.920 Eagles dialed up the pressure, you gotta make the tackle. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.600 Falcons recognized that checked out of the play that they 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.800 were in, went to a quick throw to Julio. They 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.200 got all four touchdown. But I thought the Eagles defense 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.920 played much better than they did last week, except for 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.760 the one play against Julio Layton the game, I thought 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.360 the Eagles defense really kept this team in the game 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.600 to night. Yeah, like you said, Jim Schwartz really mixed 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.359 it up with the bulitz really kept the pressure on 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.840 Matt Ryan, made him very uncomfortable heat He had three 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.760 interceptions in this one, which is very uncharacteristic. We got 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.200 some highlights, you know what, let's checking with Meryll Kim 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.200 the most exciting part of our show. Let's hear from 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:02.400 Merrill recent Mike Quick on today's game. Intercepted, it's picked 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.080 off and they will mark it down. But Sydney Jones 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:11.040 took it off the hands. It was deflected and the 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.120 Eagles have come up with a big interception right here 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:19.599 and a major mistake. Third down to nine for Atlanta motion, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.640 Austin Hooper, the tight end, Ryan and the gun. He's back, 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:27.400 he pumps, he's going deep again, and it's intercepted. It 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.160 is Derby Derby at the thirty five, at the thirty 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.919 Derby carrying the football and finally takes it down to 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.560 the twenty four yard line. Second interception of the game 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.800 for the Eagles. Well, I love Doug, but let it 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.120 be said, I'd go for the free right here and 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.640 just with this much time left and the way they've 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.520 been moving the football, Wentz back, Wentz looks has time 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:58.000 time fires complete touchdown. Dog's right, Dulcinaglore in the back 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.480 of the end zone. Dog is absolutely right. You're funny. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.960 You're so funny. Second and eight folio Jones in motion 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:11.080 to the far side of the field, split way out 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.400 and the gun is Ryan looks right, fires for the 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.920 end zone, intercepted by Nathan Garry who takes it out 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.840 to the one intercepted by Nathan Garry and now a 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.480 penalty flag comes down. That was the third interception by 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:32.720 the Eagles end this game. They just took points away 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.599 from Atlanta. Tight formation slot to the nearest side of 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.760 the field. Aglor end the slot, Wentz under center and 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.400 he sneaks and he's in touchdown. Eagles take the lead. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.280 Joined the Howard to the right of Wentz standing in 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:54.400 the gun. Wentz takes the snap's back fires two points hurts. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.240 You are watching the postgame show presented by Rico I Greased, 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:02.240 Amy Campbell, frand Duffie now joining US France. Initial takeaways 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.200 from this crazy game. It was a crazy game. And 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.080 I'll tell you what. This guy's my initial takeaway. This 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.679 team didn't blink. Yeah. We've seen so many teams throughout 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.720 the NFL over the first couple of weeks where they 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.360 get down in an early hole and they fold. We've 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.040 seen it with a number of teams. I could think 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.720 of Cleveland Browns right off the top of my head. 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.800 All the hype coming in on Cleveland they come in 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.920 Week one, they lay an egg. Tennessee gets up on 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.760 them early. They fold. You look at some of these 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.360 other teams around the league early on, they go out, 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.480 they face some adversity, they fold. This team on the 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.440 road against an O and one desperate team. We talked 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.520 about it in the Kickoff show, Amy. This team coming 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.880 back with Atlanta is a talented team. It's a battle 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.080 tested team. You knew they weren't going to fold and 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.320 coming they weren't going to go oh and two willingly, 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.120 So you had to come in and punch them in 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.000 the mouth. They came back and they fought. Yeah, injuries, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.880 early score deficit, guys getting hit left and right. I'm 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.880 hurt and watching this game, yeah, I mean, and they 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.720 bounced back. They just keep fighting. It really was remarkable, 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.840 especially down the stretch their ike. We talked about all 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.120 of those key pieces of that offense that we're missing, 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.240 and really at the end the receiver Nelson Ago or macollins, 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.239 and those two had really solid games for the Eagles tonight, 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.200 so stepped up when the numbers called that next minute 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.920 up mentality. Yeah, it really has been a trademark of 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:16.400 this team under Doug Peterson's coaching. I mean, they typically 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.760 fight you tooth and nail for sixty minutes four quarters. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:24.240 Didn't expect anything else from them tonight. Man down, multiple 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.160 guys down. Next guy has to step up, and this 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.080 team is right there in the end with an opportunity 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.880 to win this game late in the game. Never questioned 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.920 whether or not this team is going to give you 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:40.680 a full day's effort they typically do and undermanned, you know, 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.640 losing key guys early in this game could have very 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.959 easily folded the tent and no one would have questioned it. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.760 But this team, true to its character, gonna fight you 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.120 all the way to the end and had a chance 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.120 there late in the game to really steal one on 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.640 the road against a desperate team like the Atlanta Falcons. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.800 A lot of people talking about this Falcons team throughout 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.040 the week as if this Falcon team is not a 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.679 very good team, it's not a talented team based off 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.280 the way they played last week in Minnesota. You can't 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.480 judge a team off the first week of the season. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.160 I really had this Falcons team in the playoffs. I 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.000 had them winning this division NFC South, and I knew 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.880 this would be a tough game. The Eagles didn't expect 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.840 them to be undermanned after a series or two in 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.960 this game. But I thought they would be in the game, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.240 and I thought they would have a chance late. Just 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:32.400 one of those opportunities that they missed out on. But again, 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.600 when they look back at the film, they can be 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.320 proud of the effort that they've given. But that's really 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.080 been a trademark at a team. We truly expect them 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.600 to come out and give you an honest day's work. Well, yeah, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.480 there's a lot of talent on this team, like you mentioned, 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.680 And let's not forget last year the Eagles took care 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.360 of business against the Falcons at home. But the Falcons, 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.560 their defense was majorly injured in that game and a 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.560 lot of those guys, several of their guys were lost 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.240 for the season in that game, so not at full 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.600 strength the way we saw them tonight, And you saw 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.960 how good their defense can look when they're healthy. So, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.319 fran I know a lot to break down in this film. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.480 What do you have your eye on that you're going 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.959 to be looking looking to break down as you get 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.200 into things tomorrow. Yeah, I think number one will be 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.400 the first thing is looking at what defensively they did 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.240 to turn up the heat a little bit on Matt Ryan, 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.240 especially in the second half. That defense, the defensive line, 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.320 and also the blitz package we saw that cover zero 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.880 blitz that Jim Schwartz and the Eagles defense through at 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.600 Matt Ryan to create that Ronald Darby interception in the 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.480 third quarter. To me, that was one of the biggest 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.400 plays of the game that helped turn the tide, helped 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.120 the Eagles go into a touchdown make it a one 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:32.959 score game. I want to see exactly some of the 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.920 other things that they did. You saw a zone pressure 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.360 where Fletcher Cox dropped out, but you know they were 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.280 able to get home. I'm excited to see what the 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.360 Eagles did from a strategy standpoint, But on the other 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.520 side of the coin, and in the same point, I 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:46.719 think you have to give a tip of the cap 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.360 to the Atlanta Falcons here because from the opening drive 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.520 I thought that they dialed up a lot of interesting 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.880 plays that kind of played on the Eagles aggressiveness and 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.440 that's look, that's good coaching from Atlanta's part. You find 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.880 exactly what the strength is of an opponent, and then 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.360 you want to try and find ways to tack it. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.959 You have to give credit to Atlanta. They found ways 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.120 and it was little dink and dunk plays and then 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.000 it became the big one that at the end. You 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.680 have that screen pass at the end that all plays 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.920 on the aggressiveness of the Eagles defense. Yeah, and you 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.560 just set them up, set them up, set them up 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.360 for that big shot. Let's go to our plays in 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.800 the game, Ike, what is it for you? Well, for me, 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.480 I would I would have to go to the interception 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.800 laid by Ron Darby. I mean, you're gonna play right 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:27.080 there where put your side right all the games are over. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.520 I don't know what kind of updates are coming through 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.960 right now, notifications they keep going play the Ron Ron 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.000 Darby interception I thought was big. And you get that 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.400 late in the game you just mentioned it frand you 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.600 get Jim Schwartz dawling up a zero blitz Eagles not 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.559 really known for that. And then Ron Darby on Julio 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.280 Jones able to get his head around and make that 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.280 play I thought allowed the Eagles to get right back 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.920 in this game. Yeah, what about you? To me, it's 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.400 the fourth down conversion of Nelson Iglore on that last drive, 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.400 because to me, you had the adversity of you know, 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.400 they come back and Nelson has that drive, and that's 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.520 individual adversity, but also team adversity. I mean, the air 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.360 just kind of falls out of you as a team. 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.080 Like you could probably speak to that is when you 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.640 feel like you've got momentum and then you lose it. 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.880 And then for Nelson to come back three plays later 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.480 and make that catch, Carson's getting hit, the whole offense 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.400 then comes around and now it's like, oh, we got 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.840 this again. To me, I'm sitting there and I'm like, honestly, 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.720 I want to win the game. I'm just as juiced 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.520 if we lost that we lost the game as we 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.120 did we by winning because you saw that fight from 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.520 the Eagles in that for them to convert on fourth 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.000 and eight in that situation, to me, that speaks to 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.560 the fight that this team has. That's a winner's mentality. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.000 The fact that they were to come back off of 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.959 that because you have a play like that on first 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.240 down and you say that's a walk off touchdown. To 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.520 come back off of that to me in a losing effort, 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.319 that that stands out to me. But you would be 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.640 more juice if they want of course i'd be more juice, 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.240 but I don't want I don't walk away from this 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.280 loss though, feeling like, oh man, like that was to look, 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.040 you're not gonna go sixteen and ol like you're beer. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:56.920 You're not gonna go sixte No, you're gonna lose games. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.600 If you're gonna lose a game, you want it to 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.000 look like that one did, where you faced adversity on 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.280 the road against a good team, a battle tested team, 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:04.959 and you went Tom Swinger. Well, I was going to 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.600 pick your play of the game, friends, so I'm gonna 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.360 pick a different one now because it's one of the 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.000 most superhuman things I've ever seen Carson wentz to. And 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.360 we've seen him do a lot when he's falling down, 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.560 being sacked, keeping the play alive, getting that pass to Macollins. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.240 I mean, that was especially great to see maccollins have 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.200 a game like that tonight too. That to me was 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.679 one of the craziest things we've seen Carson wentz to. 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.080 And we've seen him do some pretty crazy things. Yeah, 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.960 and you needed him to sort of step up and 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.760 make plays when plays weren't there, and that's what Carson 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.320 has the ability to do. Keep plays alive. I just 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.400 thought tonight it was asking a little much of him 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.600 to just be a magician on just about every series 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.640 that he was out there. Not enough easy plays being made, 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.760 get the ball out of his hands, let guys make 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.320 plays for him. It was too much relying on him 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.960 tonight to come up with this spectacular play. And he 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.319 was able to do it at times. But when you're 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.080 on the road and you're going to get some fast 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:02.280 defense like the Atlanta foul, eventually it's gonna catch up 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.319 to you. Now, the Eagles, they were in this thing 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.600 all the way to the end. But I just thought 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.880 Carson under Durest took some hits tonight and it just 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.320 didn't look like anything was easy for the Eagles offense tonight. 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.120 You know, we saw them come alive last week against 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.880 the Washington Redskins. Tonight, I just thought this offense pretty 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.080 much had the fight and scrape for every yard that 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.160 they got tonight. Yeah, Like you know what it's like. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.800 I mean, you go into a week or you have 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.520 a week of preparation where you understand, hey, we're gonna 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.760 be down this guy, this guy, and this guy. We're 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.080 gonna prepare for that. To go into a game and 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.320 then minutes beforehand find out all you know, like Dallas 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.240 Goddard not gonna be available. Oh the opening drive, all 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.720 right to Shaun's down, Al, Shawn's down, all right, Jason 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.280 Kelsey's out for a little bit, all right now, Jason 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.440 Peters late in the game, he's out. Tim Jernikins out, 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.200 Ronald Darby's out, Sidney Jones is out. All these guys 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.320 in and out of the lineup. That's a lot to 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.040 react to on the fly. What is that like from 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.000 a players standpoint being able to overcome that? You Being 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.760 a backup player throughout my career, I know for those 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.640 guys as you have to be ready to go. You 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.480 have to be ready when your number is called. So 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.800 a guy like jj Arthega Whiteside maybe didn't expect to 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.160 play as many snaps as he did tonight. Mac Hollins 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.440 maybe didn't expect to play as many snaps as you didn'tnight. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.400 But this is the NFL and you need to be 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.960 ready at a moment's notice. And as a backup player, 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.320 I thought these guys came in and they're quitted themselves 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.800 well tonight, especially being young as they are thrown into 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.480 this position to where you're going to be relied upon 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.520 series at the series and I thought they responded to well. 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.240 I thought Carson responded to well, listen, he can't. You 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.720 can't control who you're going to be throwing the ball 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.640 out there too. You just have to run the offense. 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.480 And I thought the Carson did a great job of 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.400 the night trying to spread the ball around. Obviously, you're 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.720 trying to build trust with some of these young guys 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.600 that you don't have a huge report with when it 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.680 comes to being out on the practice field working with 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.080 and you, like S Francis said, you almost have to 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.760 learn on the fly as they're out there. And I 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.400 thought the offense early it sputtered a little bit, but 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.320 I thought in the second half they started to get 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.320 some things going with the young guys and Carson started 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.400 to show where he could trust those guys to put 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.600 the ball up in their hands, and they came through 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.120 for him for the most part. Had some plays that 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.160 I know guys are gonna want back. You brought up 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.920 to Nelson Aguilar play. I know Nelson he is a 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.720 true perfectionist. He'll tell you that that's a ball that 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.480 he has to pull in late in the game, but 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.480 hoping that we'll have our guys back next week when 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.960 it's time to take on the Lions. If not, these 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.560 young guys got a lot of experience tonight that is 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.000 going to be valuable to them moving forward. Absolutely something 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.040 to build on. To talk about Carson kind of having 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.120 to do everything. He certainly got pushed around a lot 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.000 in their sacked three times, and we were kind of 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.080 expecting the trenches to be a big part of this game, 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.600 and we definitely saw it affecting him, affecting the offense 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.480 a lot to build on. Fran you said, look, if 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.240 we have to take a loss, this is a really 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.400 positive way to have one. This is kind of how 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.240 you want to see it go down. What do you 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.400 see as some building blocks? You know, I mentioned experience 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.840 for some of the younger receivers, the guys who aren't 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.000 always getting all the touches. What do you see as 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.240 a building block for this team moving forward. It's absolutely 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:04.760 gonna be They're gonna go to the film and they're 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.359 gonna see the plays that they could have made, the 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.399 plays that they left on the field. But you're always 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.520 gonna try and find those bright spots as well and 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.840 So those guys that you know that Ike mentioned, maybe 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.200 they weren't expecting to play sixty five snaps or seventy 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.399 three snaps or even fifty snaps or thirty snaps here tonight. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.080 Those guys are gonna go to the film. They're gonna 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:22.679 see what they did well. They're gonna see what they 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.960 didn't do well, and now it's about, you know, moving 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.800 on from that. And to me, you look at some 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:28.840 of these young guys. I can't wait to go into 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.919 the tape and see what j jer think a Whiteside did. 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:32.639 I can't wait to go to the tape and see 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.919 all right, Andre Dillard on that last drive, to me, 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.159 look pretty good in those final three plays. Like I 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:38.919 want to see these young guys that came into the 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.320 game and see how they performed. Josh Sweat looked like 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.760 he had a couple of impressive rushes tonight. So to me, 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.520 I want to go and see those young guys that 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.800 had to come on. What did they look like? How 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:49.320 do you go on and build from this against the 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.280 Detroit team. They're gonna come in and they're gonna be 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.400 ready to play here on Sunday. Yeah of course, Yeah, 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.719 like you said, a lot to build on. Looking forward, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.200 we are just waiting to hear from head coach Doug Peterson, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.520 who is approaching the podium. Now let's hear his thoughts 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:12.720 on this game, of course, but with the resilience you 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:19.760 guys showed despite injury, circumstance, everything else some positive at all. Um. 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:25.159 I love the way these guys fought. Yeah, yeah, it 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:34.440 was in our hands yea uh short, yeah, it stains obviously, UM, 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.840
