WEBVTT - Week 11 Postgame Show 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.720 Down to the wire. Jalen Hurst put the team on 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.320 his back, took it himself untouched in the end zone. 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.680 The Eagles win this one seventeen to sixteen. On the road. 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.640 Welcome to the postgame Show, presented by Rico. I'm Gabriella 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.240 d Giovanni, joined by Frank Duffy and I Greece. You 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.640 gotta take a deep breath after that one. A win's 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:52.640 a win, right and when we're gonna win, Victor, who 0:00:55.320 --> 0:01:00.880 who is a sign? All the energy out? There's a 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.800 lot to get to you break this one down. The 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.280 Eagles entered the fourth quarter trailing ten. Okay, we thought 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.479 this was their chance. It was a big bounce back game. 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.959 They were handed their first loss on Monday night. They 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.040 didn't come out aggressive, they didn't come out too strong. 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.560 They got to win, like we said, but we got 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.800 to go back to the beginning of this game. The offense, 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.360 they just really could not capitalize on opportunities. Yeah, and 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.920 I can't wait to hear coach Sirianni and Jay and 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.760 talk about what they experienced out throwing the field and 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.520 what they were seeing. I was kind of wondering what 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.080 the offense would look like without Dallas Goddard in it 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.679 this week, and I'm not gonna see it here and 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.920 tell you it all falls on the absence of Dallas 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.280 Goddard being there. But you're talking about a big part 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.680 of this offense being taken out as far as calling 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.240 plays or what have you. Still no e students for 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.160 the slow start that they got off too. If you 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.000 think about it, the last six quarters, when you take 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.360 the second half of Monday Night's game and then you 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.440 go through this game, the offense Jess has not looked 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:01.400 like it had looked prior to last game versus Washington, 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.360 and I guarantee you they're going to be trying to 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.080 get this thing fixed for next Sunday. A couple more turnovers, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.720 some more three and outs here in this game, and 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.399 obviously a lot to clean up on the offensive side 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.520 of the football. Not their best performance. It was a good, 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.240 good defensive team. We talked about that Colts defense. They 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.280 are very technically sound. They are able to pressure quarterbacks 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.760 despite not rushing four. So this is a group that 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.959 can give offenses problems. But this was not the offense's 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.000 best effort today. That said, coming in late in this 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.400 game and coming up with a w that's important to 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.120 do on the road. After you faced adversity last week. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.920 It was a short week, had to bounce back off that. 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.520 You know, tough goings here early on, they come back 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.480 and they get the dub. You mentioned the turnovers. The 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.400 first eight games of the season, they had three turnovers. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.840 They've had six since Monday night. What's the coaching point 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.080 when you're when you're reviewing this film, Right, Obviously, fluky 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.720 things can happen, and you know, unfortunate things can happen, 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.799 But six turnovers since Monday, when your team has been 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.800 so good at protecting the football through the beginning of 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.760 the season, what do you do? Yeah, I think you 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.920 go on teaching the things that they've taught them all 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.760 season longer about ball security. You know, I've always felt 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.840 that turnovers are a thing of bad luck. Right, Sometimes 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.840 you're fortunate that something doesn't turn into a turnover, but 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.080 eventually it seems to even itself out. And so there 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.360 were plays through the first eight weeks of the season 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.760 where there could have been turnovers. We were just fortunate 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.520 it didn't happen. The last two games, we're starting to 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.160 see a little bit of that sort of level out 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.680 as you go through the season. It doesn't excuse not 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.880 taking care of football when you have it. It It certainly 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.240 doesn't excuse that. But I don't think the coaches are 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.800 doing anything differently than they've done all year long, and 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.200 I think the players are conscious of it. It's just 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.800 that in the league today, you know, you almost have 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.920 to be overly secure with the football because defensive guys 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.840 are constantly punching at it, trying to strip it. Even 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.640 when you're going for a sack, guys aren't necessarily going 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.040 for the hit anymore. They're going to get the ball out, yeah, 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.120 no question. And that's the thing that makes the fumbled 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.160 to discussion a little bit difficult, because it's not one 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.880 thing that's the same across all of these fumbles. Jalen 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.880 Hurt's fumble in the beginning of the third quarter is 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.800 not like a J. Brown's fumble, which is not like 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.200 Qus watkins fumble at the end of last week, which 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.280 was not like Dallas Goddard's fumble. All of them are 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.920 for different reasons, but ultimately, as a group, they just 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.520 have to do a better job of continuing to take 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.480 care of the football. It was such a strength through 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.719 the first eight nine games over the last six quarters 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.920 not as much. Another strength they had through those first 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.920 eight games was they didn't rack up too many penalties. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.560 Today it wasn't too good that first half. There was 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.120 a drive they had three penalties back to back hold 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.719 on the drive that just completely just shot the drive. 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.760 It was over another kind of coaching point to clean 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.919 those things up, because those are the things that Sirianni 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.000 talks about something in our control, control the things that 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.359 we can you know, playing clean football is something that 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.440 you can control. Again, there's going to be things that 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.840 are called this has been a huge discussion in the 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.920 past week, that don't always go your way, but there 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.640 are also things that are completely in your control that 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:53.960 are preventable. Yeah, and the thing that I'll always look 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.120 at when we're talking about penalties, we're talking about pre 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.000 snap penalties and post played counalties. Those are things you 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.039 certainly can control. You're looking at a holding call or 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.320 something like that. Those are subjective, independent on an officiating 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.240 crew whether or not they're looking to call some of 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.400 these things. I thought in that first half on the 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.880 one drive where they call like three straight penalties or 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.279 three penalties out of four or five plays, you know, 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.039 some of those things can be tiki tag when you 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.000 get a guy downfield, is he's blocking two early versus 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.120 alignment band downfield early on the RPL, So some of 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.040 those things can definitely be cleaned up. We didn't have 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.560 as many pre snap penalties, and then we didn't have 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.480 a lot of bone hid penalties where you're getting personal 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.160 files or things of that nature. The holding calls, illegal procedures, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.279 legal man down the field, those are things you can correct, yeah, 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:39.560 And that's the thing is that it always just comes 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.840 down to details. With all out of those rights, it's 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.520 one little thing, and some of them you can argue about. 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.080 To me, like the illegal man downfield penalty on Jason 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.880 Kelsey in that drive, he was blocking his man down 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.520 the field. To me, that's not illegal blocking downfield. That's 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.760 Jason Kelsey whooping the guy in front of him and 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.039 driving him seven yards off the ball. But ultimately, I 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.359 think at the end of the day, you just have 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.479 to worry about the details, and that's something that again, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.120 just like the turnovers Beagles were so strong with in 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.560 the first eight games and the last two that has 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.039 not been the case. Let's talk about the good news 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.640 from today. That defense, they in my opinion or the 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.200 reason that this team won, because they allowed the offense 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.200 to hang around, holding Jonathan Taylor to eighty four yards 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.760 sixty four in the first half. Forty nine of those 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.360 sixty four yards were one in that opening drive. After that, 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.279 he didn't do too much. So the way that they've 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.480 responded the whole week, they've had answer so many questions 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.240 about this run defense, and to hold one of the 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.680 best running backs in the league to eighty four yards 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.240 pretty impressive job. Yeah, and this is why I was 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.080 excited to see his defense come out and play today, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.479 because you're right, they took a lot of heat throughout 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.840 the week, and some of it justifiably. So I'm sure 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.600 they hold themselves to a high standard when it comes 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.960 to making tackles, being in the right gap, playing good 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.240 solid team defense where you're doing your job and you're 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.560 expecting your teammate to do his job over there, as 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.480 opposed to guys trying to do other guy's job. They 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.120 got all those things corrected. This is a prideful defense. 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.600 And so once you knuckle up and say I'm gonnahoop 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.560 the man across from me, and I'm not gonna let 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.720 you run the ball down my throat. That's exactly what 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.920 they did today. And more importantly, they got negative plays 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.840 on first downs second down, So unlike last week versus Washington, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.120 where everything was from first and ten to second and 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.440 six to third and fourth and one, there were a 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.920 few first and ten, I mean first and fifteens in there. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.640 First and twelves. You got a holding call that pushes 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.320 them back first and twenty. So now the defense can 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.800 playing with their ears back versus being on your heels 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.640 all game. They tackled much better today, but more importantly, 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.080 they won on the early downs. Yeah, TJ, we're t 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.320 had a couple of those TFLs on swing passes early 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.120 on in series, and that was able to help things 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.360 get going defensively. I think the big thing to your point, Ella, 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.120 they had forty nine yards rushing on the first drive 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.160 of the game. Jonathan Taylor didn't have a run of 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.680 more than four yards until like early the fourth quarter 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.040 after that opening and drive, and so they really locked 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.040 down on trying to stop number twenty eight. That was 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.840 a big reason why this defense had much successes it did. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.400 You saw a number of three and outs. They were 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.600 able to force the issue with this with this offense, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.560 and even when they did give up points, a lot 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.400 of them came on short fields. You have the fumble 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.800 that started the third quarter, and they were able to 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.120 hold them to three points in our three drives and 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.600 then a field goal. I think ultimately this defense did 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.680 a nice job of operating in those sudden chain situations 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.440 and getting off the field when they needed to. In 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.520 the kickoff show, you and I talked about how Jonathan 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.680 gan in this week said it takes all eleven guys 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.680 to stop the run. Well, C J. Gardner Johnson was 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.800 your leading tackler on this defense today. I learned this 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.440 from you, Fran. You never want a guy in your 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.680 secondary to be your team's leading tackler. But is that 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.240 what it takes in a game like this when you 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.040 need all eleven guys to stop the run. A number 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.000 of those times were blitzes. So that's where a little 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.840 bit more forgivable when you have guys that are approaching 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.640 the line of scrimmage and you're going they're gonna be 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.760 a little bit more active that way. But yeah, at 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.320 the end of the day, you'd love it. Who looked 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.600 like it did last week where Javon Hargrave, I believe 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.520 led the team with tackles. He at thirteen, which is 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.240 insane for a defensive lineman to have that many tackles. 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.600 But ultimately, yeah, it does take all eleven. And I 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.960 thought everybody kind of tik their turns showing up here 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.800 in this one. They really did. You look at it 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.480 from stop, not just stopping to run, but how about 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.959 in the passing game getting at the Matt Ryans. He 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.200 once Matt Ryan was forced out to throw the ball 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.560 because they're behind the chains second and long, third and long. 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.360 Now this defense can get after him because they know 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.000 exactly where he's gonna be. He's not gonna run around 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.520 or try to extend plays. If nothing else, He's gonna 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.439 either go down or throw you the football. I was 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.320 surprised they weren't able to get an interception off of him, 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.440 but he held onto the ball, which led to a 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.800 lot of secks. And Fran brought up something very critical 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:30.719 when you look at the way this defense played to 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.520 day sudden change. When we did turn the ball over 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.240 on the offense, the Eagles didn't allow them to get 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.080 a touchdown out of it either. They held them to 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.080 a field goal and a couple of those times they 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.280 got him three and out and got the ball right 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.559 back to the offense. If you don't have stop stare 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.200 from your defense and they give up touchdowns, this game 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.720 is over with early for the Eagles, the fact that 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.839 they were holding them the field goals or forced three 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.320 and outs, it really allowed the offense to get back 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.720 in the game, let Jalen do what he does, and 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.000 they're able to come out of here with a win. 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.440 Opening drive touchdown. They didn't reach the ends and after that, 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.640 so I think ultimately, look, it was a bad start 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.280 for the defense the way that that opening script worked out, 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.800 But after that, really nice job from Jonathan Gannon's unit. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.240 Is this defense missing a Vonte Maddox a little more 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.360 than we can sure? Oh yeah, definitely. Oh yeah. When 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.880 you think about a Vonte Maddox, I look at him 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.240 like he's a starting corner. He plays just as many 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.360 snaps as Slay and Bradberry does out there with so 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.400 many teams he was an eleven personnel or four four 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.240 wide receiver sets. You're missing that guy out there. Now. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.640 We look at him like he's the best nickel corner 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.200 and all of football. You know, no slight to Josiah Scott, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.880 but he's not a Vonte Maddox. Vonte Maddox is definitely 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.439 being missed out well. Vonte Maddox just took to Twitter. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.679 He had to say, we're missing him, but he is 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.000 tuned in. He said, let's go with a muscle emoji. 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.719 He is certainly missed, but we know when he is 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.960 back and he's healthy and he's ready to go, hopefully 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.840 he'll just be a welcomed addition that's really going to 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.600 kind of be that staple, that foundation to that secondary 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.480 that we're seeing kind of the miss well. The other 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.320 thing you're missing with him out there is familiarity, right. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.200 They know a Vontae, they know how he was. You know, 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.559 when you're a secondary and you've been playing together as 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.560 a unit, you understand tendencies. You understand what the guy 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.600 in front of you likes to do, so you know 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.520 how to play off of him. And with Josiah out there, 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.160 it takes a little bit of time to get used 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.560 to playing with thirty three out there. He's busting his butt, 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.600 but it's nothing like having guys out there that you've 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.160 played more snaps with because the more experience you have 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.080 out there the more familiarity you have how to play 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.240 off the guy. There's a saying in sports things some 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.640 guys are just glue guys and that they hold everything together. 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.640 I think a Vontae Maddox for this defense, for that 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.040 back seven, because it's not just with the corners. He 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.600 is one of a guy that is connective for the safeties, 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.840 for the linebackers, the guys playing off the edge. So 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.240 he is such an important part of this defensive A 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.080 lot of the ways that his BF Dallas Goddard is 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.319 offensively very similar in terms of their impact on both 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.000 sides of the ball, certainly missing the roomies to that. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:55.640 I just thought about that. You didn't realize I just 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.360 thought about that. Wow. Yeah, yeah, let's talk about that. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.160 On the offensive side of the football, we didn't know 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.480 what I was going to look like today without Dallas Goddard. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.320 We anticipated, just based on what was said throughout the week, 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.320 that it was going to be a bi committee approach 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.880 and kind of redistributing the targets. We didn't exactly see 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.040 what I think I expected in terms of more A J. 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.240 Brown and more DeVonta Smith. They were trying to see 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:16.880 what was gonna work, how many tight ends to put 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.319 in or take out. What did you think just in 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.120 how they've been trying to adjust without Dallas Goddard, he know, 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.080 you know what, I'll give Gus Bradley a little bit 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.240 of credit here too. They did some things out there 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.640 to get Jalen out of his comfort zone, right. They 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.800 mixed up some coverages and when you don't have to 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.880 devote extra attention to Dallas, got it out there. Now 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.720 you're putting extra guys on number eleven or you're maybe 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.960 rolling coverage towards Devonte Smith at times. Either way, there's 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.400 a there's a void in the middle of the field 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:48.680 that number eighty eight usually occupies, and Jalen has he's 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.880 built up that report with Dallas that he likes having 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.320 that security blanket, that big body where the catch radius 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.400 is so wide that he feels comfortable throwing him the football. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.360 And then I even talked about in a running game, 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.240 he's such a good blocker on the perimeter. I thought 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.640 that affected us too as well. So, you know, it's 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.960 the first game that he's not out there. I think 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.520 it's not like you want to get used to not 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.160 playing with him, but we're not going to have him 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.240 for at least another three to four weeks, and I 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.960 think that the offense will start to find an identity 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.480 without eighty eight out there. But he definitely was missed today. Yeah, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:21.840 that'll be one of the things I'll be looking for 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.640 when I do go through the film tomorrow, is just 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.360 what the offense looked like on those plays where maybe 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.280 Jack Stoles used at the point of attack or Grant 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.480 Calcata used at the point of attack. He had that 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.719 tiki tack holding penalty at one point, I was a 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.080 little bit questionable in my mind, but I think overall 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:36.680 that would be one of the first things I'll be 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.640 looking at when I watched the offensive tape tomorrow. Well, 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.720 the reom means might be sitting on the couch tweeting together. 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.360 Because Dallas Utter also took the letter. He said MVP. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.200 I'm assuming that's referring to Jalen Hurts because he really 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:48.800 did put the team on his back to win this one. 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.640 He did, and that's the great thing about Jaylen as 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.719 a quarterback. If something's not working through the air, he 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.160 has the ability to extend plays. And I thought in 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.680 the fourth quarter he had to say it to himself, 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.960 it's time it's time to go, and you started to 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.360 see him be more aggressive when he didn't like what 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.000 he saw from a passing standpoint. He was able to 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.400 use his legs, So I mean, it's great to have 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.320 a guy that had that ability. You just look at 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:13.880 the other side of the field. I was speaking about 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.679 Matt Ryan earlier. He's not running the football. I know 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.559 he had a thirty something yard run last week, but 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.520 that's because everybody on defense bailed out. He's usually not 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.960 running the football. It's great to have a weapon like Jalen. Yeah, 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.560 he saw in that touchdown drive that ended with the 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.000 Quez Watkins touchdown, he had the scramble for plus twenty 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.800 three and then obviously running it in for the game 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.280 winner seven yards in the goal line on fourth down. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.320 I think ultimately Jalen still willing to use his legs 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.400 that can be that X factor here in this Eagles 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.440 run game. Whether that's by design we saw plenty of 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.320 that here in this game, or those second reaction plays 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.240 where he drops back and he sees a crease and 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:45.840 he's going to take off. I thought it was a 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.000 well designed play for him to get into the end 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.400 zone to end this game. You saw Jason Kelsey kind 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.440 of pulling out to the right side, and he played 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.400 off of that and ran left. The red sea opened 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.080 for Jalen in the middle of the field and he 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.000 was able to run into the end zone to put 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.680 this game away. But a really, really important part of 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.800 Jalen's value to this offense, certainly or his legs, was 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.080 we wait to hear from Nick Sirianni and the players. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.200 We have a special video behind the scenes. Look as 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.560 the players enter the locker room. Let's see what we got. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:18.040 They're all, uh, big smiles, a big win. There's how 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.680 he rose and it's a great example of why you 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.280 played for sixty minutes. We haven't we haven't talked about 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.880 the new additions, and I wait to talk about those guys. 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.760 But that's why you played for sixty minutes. The game 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.760 can change. Is never over. And it was a point 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.920 in the fourth quarter, and maybe it was out there 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.200 the um. I don't know what it was, one of 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.240 the turnovers that I think it was the last fumble 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.360 that we got. When I was at the beginning of 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.240 the fourth quarter, when Jalen fumbled the ball off the sack, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.640 I'm saying to night, I gotta cut you off. We'd 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:52.520 beg at the podium. How did the two new guys 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:56.080 along the line? It seemed like pretty seams. Man, the 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:57.960 boys looked like they was ready to go from like 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.080 they've been here a while. Um Man, I'm thankful for 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.160 them because, man, they kept us up all through the game. 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.320 They had a great attitude through the game. It was 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.760 cool to, you know, play with Sue and LJ and man, 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.800 we just we just been out there. I mean, we 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.840 persevered through this one and that's all we kept talking about. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.640 Somebody just got to make a play and it was 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.200 just us up front and U you know, and I'm 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.880 just happy that we came out with the double their 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.040 first drive and they went down the field. Weason, what 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.240 did you guys correct the first fifteen first fifteen plays, 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.800 You see how they trying to attack you. It was 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.960 doing a good job similar to what we was getting 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.880 hit on. But uh, I felt like we just bowed up. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.320 We knew how they wanted to hit us, and I 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:36.600 felt like, you know, it was just it took a 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.680 collective all eleven, especially on that one play when we 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.520 had to strip. That was big. That was a big 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.720 drive that we stopped. Even though we didn't get points 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.520 on the offensive side, but I just felt like we 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.520 just kept coming, stayed with it. The drive that got 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.640 on the goal line if they score, Man, that was 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.280 big by Hassan to get that that sat at the 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.840 end to kill that drive. And the one missfield goal, boy, 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.560 that was big too. There's a lot of stuff that game, man, 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.120 where we just persevered. They say, we said if we 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.240 got a chance, we was gonna go out and finish 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.560 the game. And that's what we did this week about 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.919 coming back here to him. You guys, we knew, we 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.560 knew what it meant to him. He talked about it 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.679 a little bit. He didn't really harp on you know, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.200 he going back. He didn't make it a big thing. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.280 But I knew, Um, if it's me and I know 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.280 he emotional to you. You see how he is on 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.520 the sideline. You know this meant a lot to him 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.680 and he wanted to get this w So I'm happy 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.000 he was able to persevere and get it for him. 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.320 Uh you know what, Yes, I feel like we are. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.239 We we got some cleaning up to do, but um, 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.120 you know, get back in the win column. That's that's 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.040 all you want, because this could have easily been an ale. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.480 We was fourth and two. It was a lot of 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.760 stuff going on. But you know, coach made that call 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.879
