Speaker 1: Get baby. The Birds moved to four and OZ for
Speaker 1: the first time since OZ four. They got it done
Speaker 1: on the ground today. Three rushing touchdowns in the first half.
Speaker 1: This is Miles Center's first of the day. And then
Speaker 1: Kenny Gainwell he takes it for a ten yard touchdown run.
Speaker 1: But how about that defense? Four tone rivers for the
Speaker 1: jag arles Trevor Lawrence looking for Christian Kirk. He finds
Speaker 1: James Bradberry for his second interception of the season. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the postgame show presented by Rico. I'm Gabriella d givanni,
Speaker 1: joined by fran Duffy and I Grease. Twenty nine to
Speaker 1: twenty one victory at the link. It was a muck fast.
Speaker 1: They had to just get out of there get the win,
Speaker 1: and that's what they did. Like, yeah, objected day, make
Speaker 1: sure you come out of here with a W. Eagles
Speaker 1: get to four. Note, I'm sorry I didn't get any
Speaker 1: the loud victory call, only because it was a raining
Speaker 1: day out there and I just don't have that emotions
Speaker 1: right now. But it was a big win for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Defense did an outstanding job taking the ball away. Five turnovers.
Speaker 1: I don't know counting the sacks they got against Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence today and the ground game Miles Sanders running the
Speaker 1: football today would authority what did you get? Twenty seven
Speaker 1: twenty eight carries a day. Great job for Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: running the football. It was really one of those things
Speaker 1: where it was strength versus strength. Going into this matchup.
Speaker 1: You had the number one defense in terms of creating
Speaker 1: turnovers with Jacksonville going up against the Eagles offense that
Speaker 1: protected the ball at a high, high rate. And then
Speaker 1: you look at the run defense for Jacksonville going up
Speaker 1: against this Eagles run game. Eagles run for about two
Speaker 1: hundred yards. They're able to create all those turnovers, so
Speaker 1: they win the turnover margin. They outrun them in the rain.
Speaker 1: Just an outstanding performance. And really, guys, this is the
Speaker 1: first time where we saw this Eagles team punching the
Speaker 1: mouth early on right down fourteen. Nothing very easily could
Speaker 1: have been twenty one zero in the first quarter. But
Speaker 1: this is a full team effort in the comeback. Outstanding
Speaker 1: win for this football team against a good Jacksonville Jaguar squad.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville was allowing just fifty five yards per game on
Speaker 1: the ground at the half the Eagles already put up
Speaker 1: one twelve. Of course, like you said, Miles Sander's career
Speaker 1: high day over one hundred and thirty yards. They couldn't
Speaker 1: get it done in the air today, which was a
Speaker 1: little bit to be expected due to the weather. But
Speaker 1: to be able to do it on the ground the
Speaker 1: way that they did, I it was something special, very impressive.
Speaker 1: You want to give all the credit to the offensive
Speaker 1: line and the big guys upfront opening up the holes,
Speaker 1: but I also want to give credit to Shane Steke
Speaker 1: and Jeff stallin this running game today. The play design
Speaker 1: was so beneficial to the Eagles. You know, when you
Speaker 1: got Jalen Hurts, who's also a threat to run, it
Speaker 1: puts that defense and sort of a pickle. And so
Speaker 1: while they're worried about Jalen getting to the outside, he's
Speaker 1: given the ball to Miles in the inside. And I
Speaker 1: love the way Miles ran behind his shoulder pass today.
Speaker 1: We know that he can run with speed and has
Speaker 1: the ability to break out and give you explosive play,
Speaker 1: but he had to get some tough yards to day,
Speaker 1: and he got behind his shoulder pants, lowered his head
Speaker 1: and got tough yards. And I thought they wore down
Speaker 1: this Jacksonville defense. Two hundred and ten yards rushing for
Speaker 1: this team on the day. And when you look at
Speaker 1: what they've given up La, what did you say, it
Speaker 1: was fifty two yards per game? Oh, through the first
Speaker 1: three weeks. So the Eagles doing work here against this
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. And it happened a number of different ways.
Speaker 1: We saw downhill runs, we saw perimeter runs certainly, we
Speaker 1: saw Jalen hurtsby a factor as well, Kenny Gainwell reaching
Speaker 1: the end zone. Tray Sermon making his debut. So all
Speaker 1: hands on deck for this run game. But the Eagles
Speaker 1: may do against a really really stop defensive front. We're
Speaker 1: not going to get head over to Lincoln Financial Field
Speaker 1: where Eagles Insider Days. Vadero joins US Live from o
Speaker 1: rainy South Philadelphia. Dave big comeback win for the Eagles, Say,
Speaker 1: what was the keys to really put it away for
Speaker 1: the Verse? Yeah, it was great. I mean, as Franz said,
Speaker 1: first time the Eagles had faced adversity offseason, and not
Speaker 1: only down fourteen points down Darius slagh down, Jordan Milana
Speaker 1: and the Eagles. He's had nothing going on until that stop,
Speaker 1: that stop early in the second quarter. The fourth down
Speaker 1: stop changed everything. Twenty three straight points after the Keys
Speaker 1: obviously putting pressure on Trevor Lawrence winning the turnover battle
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville team that came into this game first
Speaker 1: in the NFL in turnover ratio a plus seven. So
Speaker 1: the Eagles win that one convincingly, obviously running the football
Speaker 1: and using all three backs so well, Trey Sermon, a
Speaker 1: couple of big carries, Kenny Gainwell some nice runs. The
Speaker 1: red zone performance was really impressive and just a tough,
Speaker 1: kind of ugly but expected performance by the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: in many ways. I'll tell you, guys, you tell me
Speaker 1: the most impressive of the four wins, maybe today, given
Speaker 1: everything that the Eagles had to overcome. You're right, it
Speaker 1: was the first time that they weren't just purely dominant
Speaker 1: from the gates. But you talk about that run game,
Speaker 1: what made it so success and say especially considering the
Speaker 1: injuries across the offensive line as the game went on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, Jack Driscoll did a really terrific job after
Speaker 1: an initial jolt, you know, to kind of to get
Speaker 1: his feat set in there and get his get his
Speaker 1: mind ready for the power of the Jacksonville edge. Game,
Speaker 1: and I thought the Eagles inside, I thought Kelsey really
Speaker 1: controlled things inside. We talked about it before the game,
Speaker 1: lining somebody up over Kelsey. The Jags didn't really do
Speaker 1: that as much as I thought they would. I can.
Speaker 1: I were kind of sitting up there in the press
Speaker 1: box going, they're doing it early in the game, and
Speaker 1: they're controlling the run. But awesome job by the Eagles
Speaker 1: interior and the running game patient and Miles Sanders. We've
Speaker 1: seen it now for a fourth straight game. Patience, patients,
Speaker 1: patients at speed to and through the whole. Not a
Speaker 1: lot of dancing. Dave, what do we learn about the
Speaker 1: Eagles today and week four? You know, Ella, the Eagles
Speaker 1: can win in a lot of different ways, and his
Speaker 1: offense can beat you in a lot of different ways.
Speaker 1: We've seen the explosiveness of a J. Brown and DeVante
Speaker 1: Smith and Jalen Hurts averaging nine point three yards per
Speaker 1: pass attempt coming into the game. The Eagles used a
Speaker 1: short game today's screen game to Dallas got it, really
Speaker 1: got him going. I just thought, from a character standpoint,
Speaker 1: overcoming adversity standpoint, so impressive. Taking that punch in the
Speaker 1: jaw from the Jaguars A fourteen to nothing. Defensity of
Speaker 1: the Eagles said, Okay, let's get ready to go here
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. And I think one thing we
Speaker 1: also learned is the Eagles owned the second quarter in
Speaker 1: the first four games of this NFL season. All right, Dave, well,
Speaker 1: I'll let you go warm up. I know it's been
Speaker 1: a long day outside in the rain. Thanks for your time.
Speaker 1: Over four hundred yards of offense, four hundred and one
Speaker 1: yards today. They've been able to do that consistently through
Speaker 1: the first four weeks. What does that say about what
Speaker 1: this offense is really established? And they've put the league
Speaker 1: on watch. Yeah, in the league that's built around throwing
Speaker 1: the football, and sometimes you can get a finesse football
Speaker 1: team win. That's what you want to focus on. This
Speaker 1: team has sort of gone in the opposite direction. Started
Speaker 1: last year their identity running the football. This year they've
Speaker 1: continued to add on to that. They just made the
Speaker 1: passing game part of it as well. But they don't
Speaker 1: lose whether they buttered or bread at and that's running
Speaker 1: the football. And today was the type of weather game
Speaker 1: they played right into their hands. Allowed them to get
Speaker 1: back to doing what they love doing. And I love
Speaker 1: the fact that mouse ran the ball hard today. The
Speaker 1: difference in the two teams to day. The ball was
Speaker 1: rarely on the ground for the Eagles, yep. The ball
Speaker 1: security eaguals job security and Jacksonville laid the ball on
Speaker 1: the ground countless times today, especially the quarterback. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: only turnover for the Eagles, right was that that tip
Speaker 1: pass on the opening drive. They went for the pick six.
Speaker 1: So I think when you look at the Eagles in
Speaker 1: this game, I think Dave said it perfectly, this is
Speaker 1: a team that showed the ability to win in multiple ways.
Speaker 1: You come out and you have that adversity early in
Speaker 1: this game, and not just on the scoreboard. It's fourteen nothing,
Speaker 1: you have the pick six in the opening drive. Jacksonville
Speaker 1: comes down, they get some points. You have injuries and
Speaker 1: Darius Slay, Jordan Malata, the injuries start to mount up.
Speaker 1: Devonte Smith leaves the game briefly. I think when you
Speaker 1: look around the way that this Eagle, the Eagles team rebounded.
Speaker 1: You have the weather, it's Doug Peterson's return very easily
Speaker 1: could have just gotten ugly, right, and instead this team
Speaker 1: full team defense, gets a turnover, offense follows through come back.
Speaker 1: You tie the game on the heels of your run game.
Speaker 1: Just an outstanding job here from this Eagles team answering
Speaker 1: the bell when they were faced with adversity early in
Speaker 1: this one. Well, if you're tuning in, please relieve in
Speaker 1: the Facebook comments. Ask Ike will be taking questions for
Speaker 1: I Greas answers throughout the show. In the Facebook comments.
Speaker 1: Drop your questions and we will add them right here
Speaker 1: on this show. I want to expand a little bit
Speaker 1: on what I talked about with Dave about what did
Speaker 1: we learn from this Eagles team today. I think one
Speaker 1: of those things being that they can capitalize on the
Speaker 1: mistakes of their opponents. Four turnovers resulted in over twenty points.
Speaker 1: We weren't seeing that last year. If the Eagles had
Speaker 1: a chance to get the ball back, they weren't capitalizing
Speaker 1: on those opportunities. And they sure we're doing it today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think once you're playing in a game like this,
Speaker 1: the mentality of going in from a defensive standpoint is
Speaker 1: get the ball out, get the ball out, punch it
Speaker 1: out as much as you can. And they were able
Speaker 1: to do that, and like you said, Ella, the offense
Speaker 1: coming in and take an advantage of that. That fourth
Speaker 1: down stop in the second quarter when Jacksonville could have
Speaker 1: very easily been driving. To go up twenty one to
Speaker 1: nothing was huge. And I know Trevor Lawrence dropped the
Speaker 1: ball there, but he dropped it because he had pressure
Speaker 1: on him and he had to escape the pocket. So
Speaker 1: I love when you're in a game like this as
Speaker 1: a defense, you're saying, we're gonna get opportunities to take
Speaker 1: that ball away. And the Eagles players, you can see
Speaker 1: them every time they got around whoever was carrying the ball.
Speaker 1: They were looking to punch it out today. And that's
Speaker 1: the thing too, you know. Hassan Reddick. He finishes this
Speaker 1: game four solo tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles, two
Speaker 1: fumble recoveries. Now the look when you talk about defensive
Speaker 1: football and you're not gonna blitz and you want to
Speaker 1: just say, hey, we're gonna rally to the football, Hassan
Speaker 1: Reddick is the kind of player you're talking about because
Speaker 1: you want to a capitalize on mistakes. If the opponent's
Speaker 1: gonna leave that ball out there, Hassan Reddick, this is
Speaker 1: going back to Carolina, Arizona, go back to Temple. He
Speaker 1: is excellent at getting the football on the ground when
Speaker 1: he gets home to the quarterback. And then also that
Speaker 1: fumble recovery that Ike mentioned earlier, that's a hustle play
Speaker 1: from Hassan Reddick. He is making that play in person suit.
Speaker 1: If he's not chasing that football, that turnover does not
Speaker 1: happen by accident. Trevor Lawrence moved off his spot, he
Speaker 1: drops the football. If Reddick is loafing a pursuit, the
Speaker 1: Eagles don't get that ball and Jacksonville probably scores points there.
Speaker 1: Outstanding job from the Eagles defense. We have Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: at the podium. Still just make this nice shot, y'all.
Speaker 1: Hear that party in there, Miles rough Weather's day. Anything
Speaker 1: got let to you guys running the ball more than
Speaker 1: you have this year and kind of getting back to
Speaker 1: the style of last year's play. Offensive play. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever the weather conditions is. Um, we were
Speaker 1: practicing this type of stuff and we we we do
Speaker 1: everything we can to be prepared for this type of stuff.
Speaker 1: So obviously we're still gonna pass the ball like we
Speaker 1: did today. But you know, the officsive line that we got,
Speaker 1: we're gonna lean on them, and you know, and over
Speaker 1: two hundred yards rushing. That's that's that's the day that
Speaker 1: don't want giving up fifty five yards rushing. Uh per
Speaker 1: game coming in. Um. Something about the defense that you
Speaker 1: guys did at manage think that I bought of the
Speaker 1: team to come between the factors. Um, they got a
Speaker 1: great team over there, good good front. But honestly, I
Speaker 1: take our old line against anybody. Um. And that's just
Speaker 1: just as simple as that career career high for you
Speaker 1: Miles and and carriage as well. How much does it
Speaker 1: help you to touch the ball that much? It's sitting
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to get into the game and
Speaker 1: start to go. Yeah. Absolutely definitely getting the group. But
Speaker 1: you know, UM, my job is to just be ready
Speaker 1: whenever they call my number like that. Whenever they call
Speaker 1: my number like that, I'm gonna be ready regardless. So
Speaker 1: but um, with the rather being the way it was,
Speaker 1: we just leaned on the office a line of office aligne.
Speaker 1: How the heck of a game? I feel we had
Speaker 1: the nine yard in your first since carriers was just
Speaker 1: something that they were doing to continue guys early on it.
Speaker 1: What did you change just just trying to attack the
Speaker 1: defense instead of you know, running our outside zone at
Speaker 1: the beginning just trying to be more downhill first and
Speaker 1: then mixing it, mixing it up mid zone and inside
Speaker 1: zone stuff. So it was it save about the way
Speaker 1: you guys were you to call, like over calling, like
Speaker 1: the injuries they offensive Finn like Jordan and Isaac and
Speaker 1: still I have a cond russion you guys. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have a mentality. It's just next man up mentality. So
Speaker 1: and we got one of the best, I not one
Speaker 1: of the best, part of the best office on line
Speaker 1: coaching in the league. So coaching these guys and whoever
Speaker 1: is next man up is it is gonna produce an
Speaker 1: in there, so it nont matter who's in there. When
Speaker 1: you got one today, give you confidence in terms of
Speaker 1: you know, one on the ground and one through the air,
Speaker 1: defense coming through in the end say that woman, Okay, Harry,
Speaker 1: you guys have won this season in the different ways,
Speaker 1: like to say, the defensive running game engineer, one through
Speaker 1: the air. So they give you confidence that you know
Speaker 1: you you guys are the Mainkings are a great team
Speaker 1: because of how you even want the differently so far
Speaker 1: this ACA, Yeah, that definitely gives everybody confidence. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a team sport and we look at we we
Speaker 1: know we can't win without all aspects of the game
Speaker 1: went being won. You know, special teams played the heck
Speaker 1: of a game. Jake Elliott took one for the team
Speaker 1: and still went back out there and still kick the
Speaker 1: field goal to get us in the league. So and
Speaker 1: then our defense playing the way they did after those
Speaker 1: two scores, they got quick one was by us, and
Speaker 1: then pretty much shut them out the whole game, creating
Speaker 1: five tone overs. And then you know what, the weather
Speaker 1: being the way it is, we still passed the ball
Speaker 1: effectively a little bit, but in offensive line we had
Speaker 1: two over two hundred yards rushing. So it's all over
Speaker 1: the team, team winning. We keep doing that, We're gonna
Speaker 1: win a lot of games careers. You think this was
Speaker 1: the best year you played, h I mean yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it could get a little better too. So uh
Speaker 1: for it's not off for it's not on the gas yet.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna keep going. And um, you know, just
Speaker 1: keep doing what I gotta do to help the team win. Um,
Speaker 1: just be more consistent with it, you know, so I
Speaker 1: can have more days like this for the team. That's excite.
Speaker 1: I'm excited as hack. UM never been two and though
Speaker 1: never been three and not here. But the best thing
Speaker 1: about being four and though is being able to be
Speaker 1: five and not so. Um, we're just gonna go back
Speaker 1: to watch film for this, uh, from this game, see
Speaker 1: what we can get better at and on to next
Speaker 1: you getting down fourteen nouns and wolkeos up being on
Speaker 1: the sideline. Nobody flinched. It was just we I mean,
Speaker 1: we gotta tip pass and kind of pick six. You know,
Speaker 1: they capitalized on that and then they got a little score,
Speaker 1: but we nobody flinched. So we just came went back
Speaker 1: to our regular offense and you know, just drove down
Speaker 1: the field and just put points on the board. That's
Speaker 1: all it takes for you. I think the camera's calling
Speaker 1: on my best to breaking it. Would you think that
Speaker 1: that was eventually gonna call uh uh the old line.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna keep coming back to the old line.
Speaker 1: They do a heck of a job and making a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff easy for me out there. So and
Speaker 1: that play right there was definitely easy, just reading the
Speaker 1: front side and background. He hit the wrong gap and
Speaker 1: I put it bursts out of front side. So as
Speaker 1: a kid growing up in the pits for how used
Speaker 1: to were you these type of conditions. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love I know. I know half the league is
Speaker 1: is people from the South, and I know when to
Speaker 1: get cold. Southern players don't like the tackle, So I
Speaker 1: like these type of games. The best part about four
Speaker 1: and oh is the chance to go five and I
Speaker 1: throw that on a T shirt. That was a going
Speaker 1: for today. But Miles Stairs had one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: four yards two touchdowns, career high for him. But looking
Speaker 1: at the running back group as a whole, you remove
Speaker 1: Boston Scott from the equation as this running back group
Speaker 1: operates as a by committee approach. The most part, of course,
Speaker 1: with Miles Sanders leading the way, a chance for Trey
Speaker 1: Sermon he got a few touches today making his Eagles debut.
Speaker 1: And then Kenny Gamwell he always answers the ball as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nice to see Trey Sermon in there eagerly anticipating when
Speaker 1: he would get an opportunity to go out there and play. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Boston got injured, so he's brought up. Nice job by him,
Speaker 1: But I'm more impressed with the twenty seven carries that
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders had day without putting the ball on the ground,
Speaker 1: being quite frankly, he hadn't had that type of workload
Speaker 1: at any point in his career as a professional. And
Speaker 1: to see him tote the ball with authority today and
Speaker 1: this type of type of weather where the ball is
Speaker 1: on the ground constantly for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I was
Speaker 1: impressed that Miles was able to be able to tote
Speaker 1: the ball today that many times have the Jags stripping
Speaker 1: at the ball, punching at the ball, and he never
Speaker 1: put the ball on the ground once today. Very impressed
Speaker 1: by that last thing when you have twenty seven carriers,
Speaker 1: like they're not all gonna be perfect, they're not all
Speaker 1: gonna be beautiful, but to not put the ball on
Speaker 1: the ground, and he gets the fumble recovery on that
Speaker 1: dropped snap from Jalen Hurts as well, So it heads
Speaker 1: up play for Miles in that respect. But I think
Speaker 1: when you look at his impact in this game, we
Speaker 1: had a couple of catches that went for first downs
Speaker 1: as well, So really strong performance here from number twenty six,
Speaker 1: big part of the reason why the Eagles won this game.
Speaker 1: We talked on the Kickoff Show, the Jaguars defense is
Speaker 1: tied for first and league in turnovers. So we were saying,
Speaker 1: if you think you look at this weather, you think
Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna put it on the ground a
Speaker 1: lot is a perfect storm for turnouvers. The way they
Speaker 1: were able to hang onto the ball was very impressive.
Speaker 1: But before we went to the break, we were talking
Speaker 1: about Hassan Reddick a little bit, like, what do you
Speaker 1: think about the role he's really starting to assume on
Speaker 1: this defense. I'm loving it. He refers to himself as
Speaker 1: the weapon and so they can use him jest about anywhere.
Speaker 1: And I know when we signed his song, Reddick, you
Speaker 1: know he's coming off for two straight years of double
Speaker 1: digit sacks. As fans, that's all we really care about, right,
Speaker 1: let him get out of the quarterback. Let him get
Speaker 1: out of the quarterback. And that's what they're padn't even do.
Speaker 1: But I love the fact that he's also being used
Speaker 1: in other areas, dropping back in coverages a linebacker. And
Speaker 1: what that allows for John than Ganning to do is
Speaker 1: to disguise some things for other guys. Because if you
Speaker 1: get a beat on Hassan and you think he's coming
Speaker 1: every time, well when he drops back in coverage, now
Speaker 1: somebody's coming from the other side. So I think he
Speaker 1: allows jonathangan and to use a variety of different looks
Speaker 1: to get him freed up. But when you're in the
Speaker 1: game like this, he wants to get after that quarterback.
Speaker 1: Today today was a perfect game for him. And when
Speaker 1: he's when he's trying to get the sack, the thing
Speaker 1: I'm noticing about him, he goes for the football. It
Speaker 1: used me a day in time you wanted to hurt
Speaker 1: the quarterback when you got to him. Smarter players get
Speaker 1: the football on the grounds, swipe it out of their hands.
Speaker 1: It counts as a sack as well, and a force fumball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got a GPS for the football, is absolutely locked
Speaker 1: in on the quarterback's hands and he is going for
Speaker 1: that puppy. So I think when you look at Hassan
Speaker 1: Reddick and the way that he attacks the football, the
Speaker 1: way he gets after the quarterback in the passing game,
Speaker 1: and then as I mentioned the versatility as well, I
Speaker 1: go back to the first sack the Eagles had last
Speaker 1: week against Washington. They lined up in that five down front.
Speaker 1: You had Brandon Graham on one side, he had Hassan
Speaker 1: Reddick on the other, and what happened the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1: They left both their tight ends on the Brandon Graham side.
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham drops out. You had five blockers blocking two
Speaker 1: Eagles defenders. You had two one on ones on the
Speaker 1: other side, Fletcher Cox and Hassan Reddick both wins. So
Speaker 1: when you have those kind of pass rushers that can
Speaker 1: be versatile, drop Josh sweat out, drop Brandon Graham. Certainly
Speaker 1: his son Reddick Patrick Johnson worked in the rotation off
Speaker 1: the edge. When you have all these guys that can drop, now,
Speaker 1: as an offense, you're trying to guess where is that
Speaker 1: fourth rusher coming from the Eagles. We have been able
Speaker 1: to take advantage over these last couple weeks. Today was
Speaker 1: a performance for Howie Roseman two because we saw the
Speaker 1: way that players went down and there was depth in
Speaker 1: all of those positions to plug and play. But we
Speaker 1: also saw the importance of picking up veteran players in
Speaker 1: free agency like James Bradbury and Hassan Reddick. James Bradbury's
Speaker 1: interception was the perfect perfect example of having veteran eyes
Speaker 1: on the field because it's a very experienced defender and
Speaker 1: he was just watching the eyes of a young quarterback.
Speaker 1: He knew where that ball was going and he played
Speaker 1: it perfectly. Well, you're absolutely right, Allen. This deep started
Speaker 1: to show its teeth Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: You know, you kind of throw away that first game
Speaker 1: that was like an extra preseason game, poor tackling. But
Speaker 1: since then they've been outstanding and they continue to get
Speaker 1: better as a unit. I know they gave up two
Speaker 1: touchdowns today. The one came a little bit late. You're
Speaker 1: playing a little bit of a looser defense because you
Speaker 1: got a two score lead, and then you don't want
Speaker 1: to have blown coverages. And I think that happened a
Speaker 1: few times with some young players in the secondary. But
Speaker 1: when you look at the depth that this defense has,
Speaker 1: it allows in the veteran experience on that side of
Speaker 1: the ball. It allows them to have more to work
Speaker 1: with when they go out there in The communication amongst
Speaker 1: these guys, even though they haven't played a lot of
Speaker 1: football together, has been very impressive to me. There was
Speaker 1: a couple of times that they were able to get
Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence today solely because he had nowhere to
Speaker 1: go with the football. The coverage is better on the
Speaker 1: back end and it's working with the pass Rush. We
Speaker 1: talked about that all week off for last week's game
Speaker 1: versus Washington, and the scary thing is it's still early,
Speaker 1: but his defense this deepens can get better as the
Speaker 1: season goes home. And you know what I love over
Speaker 1: the last three weeks as well. Going back to Minnesota
Speaker 1: the Monday night game, they shut down Justin Jefferson. He's
Speaker 1: the guy. Hey, we have to worry about Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 1: Don't let eighteen beat us. Well documented the performance they
Speaker 1: had against him. Fast forward a week later, Hey, we
Speaker 1: can't let Terry McLaren in that passing game get after us.
Speaker 1: McLaren didn't have a catch until the third quarter. Go
Speaker 1: into this game, Hey, Christian Kirk, you don't have a
Speaker 1: Vonte Maddox. How are you going to stop him? Nine targets,
Speaker 1: two catches. He had that one forty five yard or
Speaker 1: on the blown coverage at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: You take that out and it's one catch for minuscule
Speaker 1: yardage there for their number one weapons. So I think
Speaker 1: the Eagles they're going out with a good game plan.
Speaker 1: They're executing that game plan even missing Maddox and Sleigh
Speaker 1: in this game. Really impressive performance from this back seven.
Speaker 1: We've talked so much about the run game that you
Speaker 1: wouldn't even know A J. Brown had five receptions for
Speaker 1: ninety five yards. Herewys had one hundred yards on the day,
Speaker 1: and I feel like you've really never even heard his name.
Speaker 1: But that's the beauty in this offense is if they're
Speaker 1: getting it done on the ground, they still have weapons
Speaker 1: if they need to get it down on the field.
Speaker 1: They were thrown to A J. Brown Dallas Goddard on
Speaker 1: the screens and then they were just really really pounded
Speaker 1: in a way on the ground. Yeah, that's what makes
Speaker 1: it difficult to stop this offense is because they can
Speaker 1: hurt you through the air and on the ground. And
Speaker 1: Jalen's making good decisions with the football, and it's always
Speaker 1: a good decision to go to the number eleven with
Speaker 1: the ball. He usually comes down with the catch, and
Speaker 1: because he has such strong hands, you never have to
Speaker 1: worry about when the ball hits his hand, he's usually
Speaker 1: going to catch it. And when you got a point
Speaker 1: guard like Jalen as our quarterback sitting back there picking
Speaker 1: a team apart as a defense, you're sitting back and
Speaker 1: you're saying, do I go atter him? Do I try
Speaker 1: to get atter him or do we sit back and
Speaker 1: try to play coverage against him? And giving Jalen time
Speaker 1: to throw the ball is a mistake now because he's
Speaker 1: developed as that passer where he can pick you apart.
Speaker 1: That's think a J. Brown. Five catches on the day,
Speaker 1: four of them go for first downs, and that's we
Speaker 1: win this offense. You know, you go back to like
Speaker 1: you know, I've grew up in Philadelphia, Alan iverson growing up.
Speaker 1: This team needs a bucket, give it to a He's
Speaker 1: he's gonna get you a bucket. If this team needs
Speaker 1: a bucket offensively, ball's going to number eleven. He's able
Speaker 1: to come through. And by the way DeVante Smith get him,
Speaker 1: he can get you a bucket. Dallas Goddard can get
Speaker 1: you a bucket. This offense so many different ways to
Speaker 1: be able to beat you defensively, twenty five first downs.
Speaker 1: On the other side of that, they're a third down
Speaker 1: efficiency wasn't as strong as we've seen four for fifteen.
Speaker 1: They were gutsy on fourth down. There were three for five.
Speaker 1: But where do you hope to see that third down efficiency?
Speaker 1: Improof well execution, that's usually what it is, and you
Speaker 1: can get in down and down and distances that are manageable.
Speaker 1: This team, believe me, the way they move the ball,
Speaker 1: with the efficiency they do, they're gonna start to convert
Speaker 1: those third downs, right, They're gonna start to convert those
Speaker 1: starts down. And it's probably somewhat of a tendency there
Speaker 1: that the defenses are picking up on that they're seeing
Speaker 1: maybe something that we like to do that we've shown
Speaker 1: through the first four games. So when you go back
Speaker 1: to the drawing board and do self scouting, those are
Speaker 1: things that you're gonna look at and say, Okay, look
Speaker 1: tweak here or tweak there, and they'll be right back
Speaker 1: on track of the one of the things. So that's
Speaker 1: one of the things I tracked throughout the course of
Speaker 1: the game is what does the offense do on third down?
Speaker 1: What does the defense do on third down? A few
Speaker 1: of those plays, especially in the first half, they were
Speaker 1: four down situations where hey, we're gonna run a run
Speaker 1: play early and that's gonna set up fourth and one,
Speaker 1: and then you see Jalen Hurts get it on the
Speaker 1: quarterback sneak or they come back with a tackle power
Speaker 1: and they score a touchdown on the next play and
Speaker 1: so that throws it off a little bit, but two
Speaker 1: ice point not where it needs to be right now
Speaker 1: in this game. Offensively on third down, they've been operating
Speaker 1: a little bit better over the first three weeks than
Speaker 1: they did today. But a big reason why the Eagles
Speaker 1: were able to convert was a number of those fourth
Speaker 1: down conversions. We haven't asked guy question, Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1: What do we got? Get your questions in the Facebook comments,
Speaker 1: you will answer them. Here we go. What's the biggest
Speaker 1: improvement you've seen in Jalen Hurts this year? I would
Speaker 1: say his decision making and how quickly knows where to
Speaker 1: go with the football. You know, when you sometimes when
Speaker 1: you're here the turn of decision making, you think there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of mistakes that's been made. It's not
Speaker 1: like he turns the ball over a lot last year,
Speaker 1: but sometimes the process of processing that information can be
Speaker 1: delayed just because he didn't have the experience, I think,
Speaker 1: and that's in the offense as well. So I think
Speaker 1: being in the same offense for consecutive years for the
Speaker 1: first time for him allows his process to be spared
Speaker 1: up to where it's almost second nature for him. And
Speaker 1: when you watch him field the ball. You obviously tell
Speaker 1: that his mechanics are much better this year than they
Speaker 1: were last year. And that's a testament to his hard
Speaker 1: work this offseason. Yeah, and that decision making that can
Speaker 1: happen before the snap as well. I'm excited to go
Speaker 1: back to the film and see where that happened in
Speaker 1: this game. But going back to last week against Washington,
Speaker 1: he had that QB draw where he changed the play
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage down in the red zone
Speaker 1: that was one block away from being a twenty three
Speaker 1: yard touchdown for Jalen Hurts. And then he changed the
Speaker 1: play and changed some things around on that AJ Brown
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Commanders as well. And so although that
Speaker 1: that decision making that shows up after the snap and
Speaker 1: before the snap, can we talk about his power? The
Speaker 1: way he bulldozed his way through those defenders. He brought
Speaker 1: them with him into the end zone. It's something not
Speaker 1: many quarterbacks have in this league. No, I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: his squatting is well right now right it was the
Speaker 1: six hundred and seven hundred pounds, so we know he
Speaker 1: has the strong lower body, but he's a tough kid.
Speaker 1: I think the mentality that he plays with is going
Speaker 1: to be I think it's going to rub off on
Speaker 1: his teammates. They appreciate that, right that touchdown that he's
Speaker 1: scored on, his teammates get hyped up about that. We
Speaker 1: obviously don't want him taking those type of hits going
Speaker 1: into the end zone, but I love his mentality. He
Speaker 1: knew he would have to take a hit to get
Speaker 1: the ball in the end zone Lord's head and was
Speaker 1: able to get in there and on a few of
Speaker 1: those third and ones or fourth and ones when you're
Speaker 1: quarterback sneaking, I mean his ability to push the power
Speaker 1: with those legs, it's pretty good. Also, we have Hassan
Speaker 1: Reddick at the podium, someone they good at forcing bubbles.
Speaker 1: Said again Man first as the just taking drill work
Speaker 1: to the game. You know we practice it coach while
Speaker 1: she drills anti rock. They both, you know, they harp
Speaker 1: on it um. So just taking what on coach to do,
Speaker 1: what we do at practice, and then just taking it
Speaker 1: to the game. Everyone. I think team like to defense
Speaker 1: to set the tone of the rest of the way
Speaker 1: and let them square. Man even gave up one score
Speaker 1: until that last one. Does this defense starting the company
Speaker 1: for like it's starting to come together, especially in the
Speaker 1: last three weeks. We are and we and we still
Speaker 1: got some ways to go. We know that, right Um,
Speaker 1: right now, our thing is just getting better each week. UM,
Speaker 1: and so far we have been doing that. Uh. We
Speaker 1: got to continue to harp on the details, continue to
Speaker 1: hold everybody accountable so that way we can rally back
Speaker 1: in games like this. You know, we were on the
Speaker 1: sideline saying it's a lot of ball left. We knew
Speaker 1: the game was far from over, and we just decided
Speaker 1: to go out there, worked and you know, do our
Speaker 1: best to dominate the men that was in front of us,
Speaker 1: get behind in that game and having the battle back
Speaker 1: and show you something about the sea. It just shows
Speaker 1: who we are. You know. It got upon us early.
Speaker 1: Nobody wavered, though nobody flinched. You know, everybody, let's go
Speaker 1: who let's keep going. We got them and that's exactly
Speaker 1: what That's exactly what we did. We kept their heads down,
Speaker 1: continue to work, um, played ourselves back into the game,
Speaker 1: took the league and got the W. Today feel like
Speaker 1: a better way, but again like a walk off me personally, no,
Speaker 1: I haven't. That was my first one. Oh man, It's
Speaker 1: just felt amazing. You know, it felt amazing just to
Speaker 1: be able to pull him up. But you know, game,
Speaker 1: a game like the day, that walk ahead doesn't happen
Speaker 1: without the rest of the guys that's on the field.
Speaker 1: And you know, I know we made some mistakes, but
Speaker 1: for the most part, I just felt like we played
Speaker 1: some good football today. Defense as a whole, do you
Speaker 1: guys kind of have to be when you're starting to
Speaker 1: turn it over and maybe say it again, defense as
Speaker 1: a whole when you start turning it over at it again.
Speaker 1: You guys had five turnovers and said, you guys kind
Speaker 1: of get that deal as a unit that maybe you
Speaker 1: can make these plays. Yeah, I mean, you know, well,
Speaker 1: we know where we can be. You know, we know
Speaker 1: what we can do. It's just a matter of going
Speaker 1: out there every week and just in doing it. You know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't really matter if we don't go
Speaker 1: out on the field and execute. And that's why I
Speaker 1: talked about the accountability earlier, because we're holding each other
Speaker 1: to a higher standard. Um that way, we can hit
Speaker 1: the goals that we want and get you know, go
Speaker 1: win and know each and every week. I think whether
Speaker 1: played the factor and how easy you guys get started over.
Speaker 1: Do you think the weather played the factor at all?
Speaker 1: And how easily you guys are able to generate some turnovers?
Speaker 1: I mean, why they played in the same weather we did.
Speaker 1: Why what we say here and make weather an excuse
Speaker 1: for anybody? You know what I'm saying. We came out
Speaker 1: here and played in the same exact whether they did.
Speaker 1: Nobody was talking about whether when they went at fourteen
Speaker 1: zero one is what's that? So we ain't gonna make
Speaker 1: that excuse. They came out here and they played in
Speaker 1: the samy stack of environment that we played in the
Speaker 1: first tis this is our city. It's just my read
Speaker 1: your lips. Why you came here most definitely, man, I
Speaker 1: talked about it before when I was doing interviews when
Speaker 1: I first got signed there. A lot of people don't
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to come back home and play, and
Speaker 1: in fact that I did, and it was that, you know,
Speaker 1: that offer was on the table. I jumped at it.
Speaker 1: I talked to before when you got here about what
Speaker 1: that was gonna be like with all your friends and family.
Speaker 1: Now that you played in four games, what has that
Speaker 1: sort of been like, Oh, that's the same. They're still happy.
Speaker 1: They get the root for the hometown team. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Um, And not only that, they get
Speaker 1: the root for me as well while they're doing and
Speaker 1: there's no split feelings. You know, I would hear some
Speaker 1: of my family talk about how you know they're they're
Speaker 1: they're they're Cardinals fan or Carolina fan because they're a
Speaker 1: fan off I signed ready, but but knowing that they're
Speaker 1: you know, their true team was the Eagles. They grew
Speaker 1: up watching the Eagles play, raised Eagles. And uh, now
Speaker 1: that I'm back home, it just makes it better for them.
Speaker 1: A game like that when you get home, so you
Speaker 1: get the locker room, how many how many messengers around
Speaker 1: your phone? Oh? Man, I didn't even check yet. I
Speaker 1: enjoyed the win. Um. Uh, you know when I got
Speaker 1: in the locker room, I enjoyed the women. My teammates
Speaker 1: first and foremost. Right we out there on the field,
Speaker 1: we're putting in the work. We're going against these guys.
Speaker 1: Um And and a win like that, you know, it's
Speaker 1: only right to enjoy it with my teammates first, my brothers. First.
Speaker 1: I made it sure I did that. I and then
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I haven't even opened up my
Speaker 1: phone yet, you know, I enjoyed the win, celebrated with
Speaker 1: my teammates, and got right in here. For you guys,
Speaker 1: considering your college years, you think it's the best game
Speaker 1: you've played yet in this stadium. In this stadium, I
Speaker 1: can't sit there and say that we had some great
Speaker 1: times at Temple playing in this stadium. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that I get to come back home
Speaker 1: and play in front of, you know, some of the
Speaker 1: people that got to watch me grow up, some of
Speaker 1: the people that got to watch me on my Temple days,
Speaker 1: and just genuine you know, and to be able to
Speaker 1: be home, you know where I grew up at. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a It's a lovely thing. The game where when
Speaker 1: you had through seventy five, oh yeah, I just you know,
Speaker 1: I felt like I was I was setting him up
Speaker 1: for it. Um. You know, all game I actually had
Speaker 1: told wlsh like, I think it's about time for me
Speaker 1: to pull this move out and my dad and you
Speaker 1: know I was able to get the sack, thank god.
Speaker 1: Can you talk about your comfort level on a defense.
Speaker 1: Now you've been in coverage, you've been rushing them passer,
Speaker 1: Can you just elaborate on your comfort level with disappoint you.
Speaker 1: I've been comfortable. You know, I've been comfortable if I
Speaker 1: apprecched it. No, I ain't gonna say I've preached it,
Speaker 1: but I've said it many times. J G always asked me,
Speaker 1: you know what am I comfortable with and what am
Speaker 1: I not comfortable with? So it's never like I'm going
Speaker 1: out there and I'm not comfortable with something. I know
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm asked to do. If I if I'm
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with it, I have no problem with JG. No,
Speaker 1: But anything that you see me out there doing on
Speaker 1: the field, I'm comfortable with it. I've talked to JJ
Speaker 1: about it. We know what the goal is. It's just
Speaker 1: up to me now and go out there and execute
Speaker 1: it at a high levels. As next suld be coming today.
Speaker 1: For Hassan Reddick, I thought it was crazy how you
Speaker 1: could still hear how loud it is. I could hear
Speaker 1: in the background. The link was rocking today, Rainers Shine,
Speaker 1: you were over there in the first half, Like, what
Speaker 1: was it like? Well, I mean, listen, you gotta get
Speaker 1: these Eagles fans a lot of credit. That was not
Speaker 1: ideal weather, but it was good football weather, except that
Speaker 1: it was cold. And wet, but they still showed up.
Speaker 1: Pregame show was live before the game. Crowd was rouncius Listen,
Speaker 1: Doug got a nice round of applause when when he
Speaker 1: came out on the field and listen, you know what
Speaker 1: these Eagles fans are They they aren't going to let
Speaker 1: a little rain keep them away. I will say this,
Speaker 1: I did see a few empty seats in there, not many,
Speaker 1: but a few, I will say, just judging by Twitter,
Speaker 1: it sounds like the locker room right now is all
Speaker 1: they partying in the locker room. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: meek Mill being played, so good vibes in the locker
Speaker 1: room right now. That's what he said. He said, we
Speaker 1: know who we are, we know how good we can be,
Speaker 1: but we're not anything if we don't execute. And that's
Speaker 1: been kind of the theme of the past four weeks.
Speaker 1: We know they can execute in second quarter. Eighty five
Speaker 1: second quarter points they've put on and finally they got
Speaker 1: those second half points on the board, kind of got
Speaker 1: that monkey off their back. They were asked quite a
Speaker 1: bit about that this week. What's it going to take
Speaker 1: to put points on the board in the second half.
Speaker 1: They finally did it today and I wanted to see it.
Speaker 1: I was one of those people that were asking the
Speaker 1: question because it's a little easier to play when you
Speaker 1: have a lead early, you play a lot more comfortable.
Speaker 1: But being down fourteen points and having to play all
Speaker 1: the way through, this team showed that they have character
Speaker 1: and they can fight through adversity and they can persevere.
Speaker 1: It was quiet in there when they got down fourteen
Speaker 1: nothing and we didn't know what was going on. But
Speaker 1: I love the character of this team to make up
Speaker 1: of his locker room man, and it's it's a pleasant
Speaker 1: surprise because a lot of these guys having played together
Speaker 1: for a long time, so to see them be able
Speaker 1: to come together get on the same page, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna go to head coach Nick Sirianni
Speaker 1: at the podium. This is Miles fire Away. Gotta be
Speaker 1: nice to me now my son too. Nick go went
Speaker 1: into the decision to go for it on fourth down
Speaker 1: late in the games, said, a kick down feels uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we we just we just uh had to
Speaker 1: do what we felt was best in that particular moment
Speaker 1: with the weather and everything. Um, yeah, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get into to anything else. Really there, and we
Speaker 1: just felt like that was our best option in that
Speaker 1: particular case. What was the feeling on the sidelines when
Speaker 1: you guys were down fourteen? Noted, how did you feel?
Speaker 1: The guys obviously they responded, but what did you feel
Speaker 1: in the moment? Felt like we've we've we've talked like,
Speaker 1: we've talked about adversity. Right, Have we faced a lot
Speaker 1: of adversity? Not really? Right in three games, we probably have,
Speaker 1: and we had a battle up there in Detroit, but
Speaker 1: we have we faced a lot of adversity, not really,
Speaker 1: And so it was a great, great opportunity to say, hey,
Speaker 1: we we we've talked about this, we've discussed this. You
Speaker 1: guys are built, your players here, Your reason you're here
Speaker 1: is because you're built to be able to handle adversity.
Speaker 1: They're not. Every game's gonna be pretty. Not every game's
Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be money sometimes, and it was
Speaker 1: money right there, and our guys just buckled down and
Speaker 1: defense I thought was playing well. Yeah, they let up
Speaker 1: a long drive, but it was fourteen nothing because we
Speaker 1: gave them. We we spotted them seven. They made a
Speaker 1: good play. I don't want to say they we spotted
Speaker 1: them seven. They made a really good play, they got
Speaker 1: a good pressure on and uh and then we you know,
Speaker 1: they made a good play there and finish it for
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And so you know, being down fourteen nothing,
Speaker 1: It's just it's a long game, right, just like it's
Speaker 1: a long season. And and what a good example there
Speaker 1: of like okay, hey we're four and oh right now,
Speaker 1: you gotta play the next play and you gotta play
Speaker 1: the next game. And you got to do that same thing.
Speaker 1: Uh and in the midst of a game, not just
Speaker 1: week to week. As far as the other Miles, what
Speaker 1: was working four Miles Sanders today, that was going to
Speaker 1: play Miles Sanders are number one back. There ain't no
Speaker 1: question about it. To run as much as you do. Conditions, Hey,
Speaker 1: we will do whatever we need to do to win
Speaker 1: the football game. And of course conditions are gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna play into that. We look at everything, we take
Speaker 1: everything into account, and um, we're run the ball really well.
Speaker 1: I think that second quartered our offensive line was rolling.
Speaker 1: And that's a good defensive line. Uh. You know, and
Speaker 1: I've known that going back to my indie days, that
Speaker 1: that's a really good defensive line. And but our offensive line.
Speaker 1: I'll take them over anybody in this league. I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that group. They they they they're gritty, they're grimy,
Speaker 1: they're tough, they're physical. And we had to play some
Speaker 1: guys today, you know, and and uh and you can
Speaker 1: see what good job that coach Stout does um of
Speaker 1: developing guys and getting guys ready to play that might
Speaker 1: not play. And I got Jack Driscoll, Suwa orright. Those
Speaker 1: guys stepped in and did a really nice job. And
Speaker 1: I told you that's nine sacks. You get a game
Speaker 1: ball defensive line, two hundred yards rushing, you get a
Speaker 1: game ball offensive line. If I had eight game balls
Speaker 1: out of throwing them out right there, Greg didn't have
Speaker 1: them ready for me quite yet. Though. The final two
Speaker 1: minutes of the first half this season, all four games
Speaker 1: you've scored actually scored five times choices as the vikings
Speaker 1: and the twenty six points to what is it about
Speaker 1: those drives where you guys have been so successful quarterback
Speaker 1: play playing really good and really poison that scenario. We
Speaker 1: spend a ton of time talking about situational football, a ton,
Speaker 1: and that's a tribute to the coaches I've been around
Speaker 1: in the past. Of how important situational football is in
Speaker 1: the amount of time you spend on it. You emphasize
Speaker 1: things and you get things. But it don't make no
Speaker 1: mistake about our players are doing a great job executing it,
Speaker 1: Shane and Kevin Patool does a great job of you know,
Speaker 1: Kevin does all the kind of the scouting report for
Speaker 1: it and getting us ready for it and kind of
Speaker 1: you know, putting together thoughts for it, and we talked
Speaker 1: through it, and Shane does a great job calling it
Speaker 1: in that scenario. And what unbelievable opportunity I have to
Speaker 1: be able to say, Shane and Kevin, you guys are
Speaker 1: rolling right here, you got it. Letting me handle clock
Speaker 1: management with our guys upstairs, and we just go. And
Speaker 1: so that's you know, that's us being able to say,
Speaker 1: you know, be able to do that. And then our
Speaker 1: we got really good players executing right Our offensive line,
Speaker 1: uh protects their protects their butt off in those scenarios.
Speaker 1: Shane calls it the right way with as far as
Speaker 1: we're going for run and then going to pass and
Speaker 1: and this and that Chanlin's and complete control aj Dallas
Speaker 1: Davante quaz or In in that scenario, Um Kenny Gainwell
Speaker 1: is our protection back, in our in our scat back
Speaker 1: in that area. So it's just really good operation by
Speaker 1: by the entire unit, players, first coaches after that, Each
Speaker 1: week a different part of the offense has contributed, with
Speaker 1: the wide receivers and the offensive line in the running dens.
Speaker 1: How if we choose the coach, I got to know
Speaker 1: that whatever whatever game situation is, that you know, you
Speaker 1: can have confidence that you can kind of win in
Speaker 1: any CONDI I think that's what it is right there. Confidence, right,
Speaker 1: and so some of the fourth down calls right here,
Speaker 1: I was able to have confidence in our team to
Speaker 1: go for a confidence in our offensive line, confidence in
Speaker 1: our backs, confidence our receivers if we were throwing it
Speaker 1: or running it right, confidence in our defense that if
Speaker 1: we if we didn't convert it, that they'd make a stop.
Speaker 1: So I think you said it right. There's confidence, and
Speaker 1: it's great when you're able to win different ways, right,
Speaker 1: It's great when you're you know, do you ever want
Speaker 1: to get in a fourteen nothing hole? That is not
Speaker 1: ever It's like, hey, we haven't been in a fourteen
Speaker 1: nothing hole. Let's get into That's not our thought process.
Speaker 1: But it was great to be able to win different ways,
Speaker 1: and it's great to be able to win on different
Speaker 1: units and lean on different units. So, um, great job
Speaker 1: by those guys today the environ come back. What does
Speaker 1: it tell you about the quarterback? I mean, you saw
Speaker 1: Trevor turn it over five times obviously really difficult weather.
Speaker 1: What does that say about you parents to be able
Speaker 1: to play. He knows how important it is to take
Speaker 1: care of the football and you know, and you know,
Speaker 1: and he can do it right and he can go
Speaker 1: out there and execute and take care of the football.
Speaker 1: So it's huge, um, you know, because that's that's such
Speaker 1: a key. Uh, it's such a key to winning and
Speaker 1: losing games. And I think that even elevates when the
Speaker 1: when it's messy outside. Um. And so it was great
Speaker 1: that he was able to execute under the conditions that
Speaker 1: we are in because it was it was it was
Speaker 1: messy out there. It was really messy. And I know
Speaker 1: how he talked to me asking me after the game
Speaker 1: was like, was it did it get worse on during
Speaker 1: in the game, And I'm like, yeah, it got a
Speaker 1: lot worse, um, And it got messing. The ball got
Speaker 1: a little bit wet. But our players are communicating with
Speaker 1: us what they think here and there. To have guys
Speaker 1: like Jason Kelsey, Lane Johnson, Isaac Um, those guys were
Speaker 1: able to communicate with you to tell you what's working,
Speaker 1: feel what's working, how the defense is playing. That's huge
Speaker 1: shirts to send messages. I see you have the Rocksboro
Speaker 1: High School shirt. Was kind of your message to that.
Speaker 1: You know, I grew up going uh. One of my
Speaker 1: best memories growing up is, uh, you know, being able
Speaker 1: to do the things that I was able to do
Speaker 1: on the football field as a little kid, whether that's uh,
Speaker 1: pretending on Marcus own and jumping over the pile and
Speaker 1: you know, setting the dummies up and jumping over the pile,
Speaker 1: taking a hand off or if it was given a
Speaker 1: player a water bottle. You know, I looked up to
Speaker 1: certain guys there. You know. Obviously I looked up to
Speaker 1: Mike Sirianni and Jay Sirianni that was the starting quarterback,
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver. I looked up to to Pete Conley
Speaker 1: who was starting fullback and half back. You know, I
Speaker 1: looked up to John Briggs, who is my brother's best
Speaker 1: friend and his receiver and to be able to hand them,
Speaker 1: you know, of water bottle and say, you know, and
Speaker 1: so I have so many vivid memories about that, and uh,
Speaker 1: and I just feel I just feel bad for the
Speaker 1: kids that that that that you know, they don't they
Speaker 1: didn't feel safe, maybe don't feel safe going there. And uh,
Speaker 1: so my heart goes out to him, I thought, and
Speaker 1: my thoughts and prayers go out to him. Um, and
Speaker 1: and hopefully they feel safe going back and playing a
Speaker 1: game that you know, can help take us out of
Speaker 1: bad situations, not put us in bad situations. Interactions. I
Speaker 1: have so much respect for coach Peterson. He's he uh,
Speaker 1: first of all, first and foremost. I've heard that he's
Speaker 1: one of the best people in this game. And uh
Speaker 1: from multiple outlets of people in this building, the people
Speaker 1: that have played for him, um, people that I know
Speaker 1: that have coached with him, that he's the top nach person.
Speaker 1: And obviously, you see what he's doing was this football team.
Speaker 1: He's got this football team doing a good job. Being quiet, buddy,
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job with this football team. And
Speaker 1: that's a tough team, that's a good football team. And
Speaker 1: and he's got him confident and believing, and so uh,
Speaker 1: you know, interactions with him are just I like to
Speaker 1: tell him when I when I feel like a guy's
Speaker 1: a really good coach and he's got a really good team,
Speaker 1: I like to tell him. You know, best compliment I
Speaker 1: can get is like, hey, your coach, your team is
Speaker 1: really well coached. And that's so I like to pay
Speaker 1: that compliment to guys that I believe that about. And
Speaker 1: there's no doubt, my mom, Jackson, the Jaguars are really
Speaker 1: well coached and really good hands with coach Peterson. You've
Speaker 1: been telling us to wait for it, and finally it came.
Speaker 1: How incredible, but it ending that. You know what's great
Speaker 1: about Hassan and how he was just talking to me
Speaker 1: about this. You know, he's a guy that has been
Speaker 1: able to force a lot of fumbles, not only get
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, but force a lot of fumbles. And
Speaker 1: you know, we talk so much about creating turnovers and
Speaker 1: and how you create turnovers, and there's there's definitely things
Speaker 1: we can do as coaches to take it to another level,
Speaker 1: but make no mistak about it's about the players creating
Speaker 1: the turnovers, and good players know how to create turnovers.
Speaker 1: And Hassan man and I said to him and Sean
Speaker 1: Bradley and Kaiser White after the game, like, hey, there's
Speaker 1: there ain't nothing like winning in Philly because they know
Speaker 1: about that, right, and they know about especially Hassan and
Speaker 1: Hassan and Uh and Sean playing here at Temple and
Speaker 1: that they're quick to tell me at Temple they had
Speaker 1: college game Day here and stuff like that, and so
Speaker 1: it ain't nothing like like winning in Philly. And I'm
Speaker 1: glad we got some Philly guys here that we're winning with.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks, thanks very happy head coach. As the
Speaker 1: team goes four and Z to start twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: As you saw who was wearing a Roxburgh High School
Speaker 1: football t shirt to honor the lives loss of the
Speaker 1: shooting just outside of a football scrimmage, and TJ. Edwards
Speaker 1: actually walked into the link today wearing a Roxburgh High
Speaker 1: School football jersey. I think it's as unfortunate and sad
Speaker 1: and tragic as this is to see the Eagles embrace
Speaker 1: this cause. And we've seen what they've done in sp
Speaker 1: word of ending feeling gun violence. You never want to
Speaker 1: see this, but to see the support is very uplifting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not surprised at all, high character guys his team, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you couldn't have been somehow moved or
Speaker 1: touched by what happened earlier in the week out there
Speaker 1: at Rockborough High School with the kids, and man, I
Speaker 1: just know, I I know I felt it when I
Speaker 1: when I heard the news. And we've all played ball
Speaker 1: in high school, and you know, to have innocence sort
Speaker 1: of taken away from you when you're not looking to
Speaker 1: be involved in any mischievous behavior or anything of that nature,
Speaker 1: and to be just um, have a life taken away,
Speaker 1: it's just sad, it really is. So heart schools out too,
Speaker 1: obviously all the families out there, but particularly those those
Speaker 1: boys that were called in that crossfire and the one
Speaker 1: young man who lost this, like the fourteen year old
Speaker 1: his parents. Man, it's just it's sad, it really is.
Speaker 1: And I still have my daughters in high school, so
Speaker 1: you know she likes going to football games and things
Speaker 1: that nature. You just don't It makes you. It makes
Speaker 1: you think about all sorts of things and how it
Speaker 1: can affect you when you see something like that. So
Speaker 1: it's great to see the players and coaches, really the
Speaker 1: city come together and try to show support the well
Speaker 1: said the Eagles. Have you done a lot whether it's
Speaker 1: you know, money, putting money where their mouth is, and
Speaker 1: obviously actions like this just trying to bring awareness to
Speaker 1: something that it is a pandemic plaguing our country. It's
Speaker 1: obviously here in Philadelphia, but this entire country, and it's
Speaker 1: a problem that needs to be solved. And you can
Speaker 1: stay tuned because we surely will be working on this
Speaker 1: here at the Eagles, and you'll see things on our
Speaker 1: social media accounts. At the week's roll on well too,
Speaker 1: uplift things a little bit. We go to a guy
Speaker 1: who can always make us laugh and entertain us, and
Speaker 1: that's Darius Slay, who hit Twitter just recently and said,
Speaker 1: let's go great team win, Fly Eagles Fly. It was
Speaker 1: unfortunately to see Darius Slay leave the game today. Hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll get an update on his injury status soon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, this guy's tough. At three straight weeks
Speaker 1: that he's gotten banged up, but he's managed to stay
Speaker 1: in the game. So I was a little surprised to
Speaker 1: see him not back out there. I hope everything is
Speaker 1: gonna be okay and there's nothing that's going to keep
Speaker 1: him out long term. Slay is another one of those
Speaker 1: guys that you need that infectious personality in the locker
Speaker 1: room and out there on the field with you. I
Speaker 1: think he insteals confidence in those guys because he plays
Speaker 1: with such a swagger and such confidence. Can't wait to
Speaker 1: get him back out there on the field. Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Obviously a huge impact. We saw that in week two
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. But everything that he does throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the week, he's a captain for a reason.
Speaker 1: So having him out there obviously this Eagle's defense much
Speaker 1: better for it. As we learn more about the sizes
Speaker 1: of Avonte Maddox, if he'll be out for more weeks,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to really start digging into the depth
Speaker 1: of the secondary and we'll see how they can perform. Well,
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that you know, it's hard to
Speaker 1: account for because you don't know when they're going to happen,
Speaker 1: and that's injuries, and so you certainly want to make
Speaker 1: sure you have the proper depth there and guys that
Speaker 1: can fill in. And those guys that are now standing
Speaker 1: job today, Zach mcferris and Josiah Scott I thought had
Speaker 1: an up and down day, you know, being thrust until
Speaker 1: the fire today. But if those guys do have to
Speaker 1: play next week, at least they would have had a
Speaker 1: week of preparation as opposed to being thrust out there
Speaker 1: in the middle of a game. So depth is always
Speaker 1: something you want to make sure you have plenty of.
Speaker 1: But it's hard to replace those caliber players when you're
Speaker 1: talking about Darius Slay and Vante Maddox, some of the
Speaker 1: best at their position in the league. Yeah, dipping into
Speaker 1: the depth along the offensive line as well, with twarding
Speaker 1: towards Milatta, who apparently said in the locker room that
Speaker 1: he's going to get an MRI on Monday. But you
Speaker 1: looking towards my Alatta exiting the game, Isaac Sayamalo exiting
Speaker 1: the game. Landon Dickerson was in and out of the
Speaker 1: lineup last week. So seeing the depth really being used
Speaker 1: so far early in the season. So we're through four weeks,
Speaker 1: As Miles Sanders said, let's go five and oh evaluating
Speaker 1: the Eagles through four weeks. What is an area where
Speaker 1: you look at the team and you think this is
Speaker 1: where they are extremely successful, Like across the board, consistently successful.
Speaker 1: Think running the football. I mean, with the exception of
Speaker 1: last week, I thought they've been able to run the
Speaker 1: ball when they choose to three out of the four games.
Speaker 1: When you're playing as well as this team has played
Speaker 1: this year on both sides of the football, you really do.
Speaker 1: It's really nitpicking when you look for something right to
Speaker 1: try to improve upon. But I like the offense, man.
Speaker 1: I feel confident every time they're out there on the field.
Speaker 1: Has been a while since. You know, you feel like
Speaker 1: every time they take the field they're going to get points,
Speaker 1: and you're almost surprised that they don't move the ball
Speaker 1: into either field goal position or into the end zone
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown. Well, a typical like fashion, he
Speaker 1: wants to talk about the offense. I will talk about
Speaker 1: the defense here. I think, really look the last three
Speaker 1: weeks we've seen them win in different ways. Last today,
Speaker 1: five turnovers last week, nine sacks the week before, complete
Speaker 1: shutdown of the opposing passing game, all the while shutting
Speaker 1: down the run game. Travis Etn the leading rusher thirty
Speaker 1: two yards on the ground for Jacksonville with Etn James
Speaker 1: Robinson's thirty one yards I believe rushing. So the Eagles
Speaker 1: did an outstanding job limiting this run game. Today, the
Speaker 1: early downs runs against this team forget about it, and
Speaker 1: then late in the down they're getting after the quarterback.
Speaker 1: So I think when you look at this defense, complete
Speaker 1: team defense over the first month of the season, I
Speaker 1: think what's special about this team is that they're complete
Speaker 1: in all three phases. Last year we saw a lot
Speaker 1: of the defense can bail out the offense, but the
Speaker 1: offense couldn't execute, or Jalen Hurdts had to put the
Speaker 1: team on his back to get something going, or to
Speaker 1: get it done or get in the end zone. I
Speaker 1: don't feel like it's one unit has to really make
Speaker 1: up for the other one. It goes back and forth.
Speaker 1: Today was a perfect example. We talked about capitalizing on turnovers.
Speaker 1: The defense was going to get the ball back and
Speaker 1: the offense was going to score. I think that's something
Speaker 1: really special and something the Eagles have going for them here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're playing complimentary football, right. I mean, whether you're the
Speaker 1: defense and you're taking the ball away given the offense
Speaker 1: a short field, or whether you're the offense and you
Speaker 1: realize your defense knees a breather and you're able to
Speaker 1: put together a long drive. And it seems like in
Speaker 1: these first four games, whatever the situation, calls for they
Speaker 1: had the answer to answer the call. So, UM, again,
Speaker 1: it's only four games and you don't want to get
Speaker 1: too far ahead of yourself, but man, this is this
Speaker 1: is impressive to me because the turnover and talent on
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball and the level on
Speaker 1: which Jayalen is playing right now, the man himself is
Speaker 1: at the podium jail to start down fourteen nothing to
Speaker 1: come back. The way you guys did to the ball
Speaker 1: was changed, the composure you guys have or was accompanied
Speaker 1: two things. You know that makes me think about how
Speaker 1: we've we've been kind of been. Um. The thought of
Speaker 1: how we've played in the second half and in the
Speaker 1: first quarter of this season. UM. In my answer to
Speaker 1: the lack of points in the second half has always
Speaker 1: been just got to execute. We just got to do
Speaker 1: our uh control we can execute and do our job.
Speaker 1: And I think, um, that's the mentality we have as
Speaker 1: a football team, regardless of the circumstance UM of fourteen
Speaker 1: old down fourteen old. You control what you can, UM,
Speaker 1: do your job and execute, dominate your box individually. UM.
Speaker 1: You tend to do good, good things. UM. And I
Speaker 1: think today this team didn't flinch. UM. We found a way.
Speaker 1: We didn't flinch. We persevered. UM. We were unwavering. And
Speaker 1: how we played um, nothing nothing, nothing was able to
Speaker 1: deny us. UM. And I'm so proud of how this
Speaker 1: team played. UM, how we handled the conditions outside. You
Speaker 1: got cross wins going twenty to thirty miles per hour. UM,
Speaker 1: it's it's in the fifties and it's it's raining sideways. UM,
Speaker 1: and we're able to be be pretty efficient and everything
Speaker 1: that we did UM that that's that's a great team
Speaker 1: wins we have on the run game and even though
Speaker 1: early on I guess there there was some struggle there
Speaker 1: getting yards. UM. Now I just think we did what
Speaker 1: we did. I think what we have to realize about
Speaker 1: this football team is UM, we we we we can.
Speaker 1: We can be fishing in everything that we do. UM.
Speaker 1: That can be running the ball, passing the ball, UM, defensively. UM.
Speaker 1: That's our goal. That's our goal to be a fishing
Speaker 1: and everything that we do. UM. Well, we look at
Speaker 1: this game and we see there are some bad in it. UM.
Speaker 1: We see that there are some things that can definitely
Speaker 1: be fixed. UM. But but we also look at this
Speaker 1: and UM, we found out a lot about this football team.
Speaker 1: I think just in terms of being able to persevere,
Speaker 1: being steadfast, um, and you know, controlling what we could,
Speaker 1: We control what we could today and um, you know,
Speaker 1: good things happening. Then when's the last time you're playing
Speaker 1: again with that kind of weather? Well, I always joke
Speaker 1: about not ever getting rained, um, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if I could um avoid her came. So, yeah, my
Speaker 1: sophomore year in high school is probably last time I
Speaker 1: had something like that as the first time you guys
Speaker 1: have lost starters to injury, storing game on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball. But I didn't think the old kind
Speaker 1: of came together after you lost to Isaac. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I look at Jack and I look at Opela, and
Speaker 1: those are two guys that that have always kind of
Speaker 1: since I've been here at least, always come in and
Speaker 1: being able to play at a high level. Um, always
Speaker 1: being ready when their phone rings and they answer, ready
Speaker 1: to go. And defensively, you know, Tay going down and
Speaker 1: Scott coming up and play playing his tail off defensively,
Speaker 1: everybody's just everybody's just doing what they need to do.
Speaker 1: And I think as a football team, I think that's
Speaker 1: we did. I think, um, you know the mentality throughout
Speaker 1: the week is what prepared us for UM this environment today,
Speaker 1: UM to being this circumstance today and be able to
Speaker 1: overcome it. UM. I think that's a testament to how
Speaker 1: we work, how we think. UM. You know, we want
Speaker 1: to enjoy it. Run. What's the approach organ thinking they're
Speaker 1: knowing the linebackers, they're way to get in make away? UM.
Speaker 1: None none more than that. UM. I appreciate the trust
Speaker 1: UM and coach Sirianni UM allowing us to you know,
Speaker 1: we were we were in the and Doug was coach.
Speaker 1: Doug was in a lot of those situations too, UM.
Speaker 1: But in positions where it was fourth down, fourth and
Speaker 1: long fourth and medium maybe UM and we and we
Speaker 1: went for it. And I think that's just coach Sirianni
Speaker 1: trust and UM trusting me in the offense and UM,
Speaker 1: you know something we hit something we didn't, but we
Speaker 1: hit enough. And they say that stounds make fights. This
Speaker 1: offense seems examples to win any in any concept with
Speaker 1: the front of game back again, can you talk about
Speaker 1: you know, how much of a comfort exactly you knowing
Speaker 1: that you can you can playing any stoul Well, I think, UM,
Speaker 1: I think that's just a testament to how we work, Um,
Speaker 1: what we do, and I think being able to be
Speaker 1: multidimensional as an offense. UM, having an identity of just
Speaker 1: just executing and trying to execute with consistency, whatever it's called.
Speaker 1: That's what we try and go out there and do.
Speaker 1: The game changes, UM, the intent and what we want
Speaker 1: to accomplish may change, but UM, it's about finding a
Speaker 1: way in every in, every gay in the field, all
Speaker 1: eleven doing their job. Was Miles able to kind of
Speaker 1: take advantage of, you know what draftsman was trying to
Speaker 1: do to stop on what I think Miles. Miles ran
Speaker 1: really hard today, UM, and Miles protected the ball. Everybody
Speaker 1: protected the ball. UM. I mean he made plays. I
Speaker 1: mean you can't you see him running the diagonal route
Speaker 1: cutting across the field, And I mean he played angry
Speaker 1: in my opinion, UM, he played with a purpose tonight,
Speaker 1: this evening, this afternoon, excuse me, UM, And he deserved it.
Speaker 1: He deserved it. He had a hell of a game. UM.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of respect for Doug, as I've
Speaker 1: said all week, UM, and you know, just excuse me.
Speaker 1: I told Doug. I told Doug like I really appreciate you,
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of respect for you. UM.
Speaker 1: And I told him, I said, I thank you because
Speaker 1: you're the reason why I'm here, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And I have a I have a lot of love
Speaker 1: and love and respect for him, his way of coaching,
Speaker 1: his coaching style and how he does things and the
Speaker 1: great things he's doing in Jacksonville right now. UM, I
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for him. I wish some
Speaker 1: numb but the best moving forward. Did you see on
Speaker 1: the interception it was a it was a pick and
Speaker 1: pick six. It happens not throw a pick six? What
Speaker 1: would you do differently? I know, Hey, we won. You
Speaker 1: mentioned persevering. Uh did anything need to be said about
Speaker 1: you down fourteen? Nothing? Remind the guys. I think that
Speaker 1: was the most beautiful thing, right, There's nothing needs to
Speaker 1: be said, nothing needs to be said. There was no
Speaker 1: come to Jesus moment. There was no UM, there was
Speaker 1: no come to Jesus moment. It was, hey, we're built
Speaker 1: for we We built ourselves for this UM and we
Speaker 1: want to have that type of mentality. So let's find
Speaker 1: out what type of team we are. UM. And and
Speaker 1: we asked, we asked the belt today we asked the
Speaker 1: bell today, this is just the beginning. UM. We have
Speaker 1: a long, long way to go. And we know that
Speaker 1: there were unconventional um circumstances and the unconventional environment out
Speaker 1: there with the conditions of the game. But we we presevered,
Speaker 1: we found a way. UM. And this is a step
Speaker 1: for us. It's a step, you know, we've taken a
Speaker 1: step from week one to week two, tweek three, tweek four. UM,
Speaker 1: it's all about growing and continue that climb. And UM,
Speaker 1: just just just striving to be the football team you
Speaker 1: want to be. You said, Doug is the reason you're here.
Speaker 1: We need and he dropped me. I appreciate them for that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here without him. Did you ever do that?
Speaker 1: Ain't going on? That sounds my left the end? Did
Speaker 1: you I didn't? Um, I saw I watched the big
Speaker 1: screen usually, UM, watch the big screen to get the
Speaker 1: ball back. Defense. Like I said, the defense played a
Speaker 1: hell of a game. They they played the hell of
Speaker 1: a game. UM. And I think it's twofold being able to,
Speaker 1: you know, being able to get turnovers like that in
Speaker 1: those conditions and being able to for the most propertect
Speaker 1: the ball in those conditions. In comparison in terms of
Speaker 1: the turnover differential. UM, I think that was big. I
Speaker 1: think our d line played hat saw um j B
Speaker 1: caught the big time picked there For us offensively, we
Speaker 1: want to definitely capitalize off of every um opportunity we
Speaker 1: get from the defense. But you know, it's it's the same,
Speaker 1: it's the same old thing. Regardless of how the game
Speaker 1: goals or whatever it looks like. We enjoy. We enjoy
Speaker 1: our wins, um because we know they're they're not easy
Speaker 1: to come by and they're earned. They're earned. But UM,
Speaker 1: there there's still a lot a lot more room for growth,
Speaker 1: and UM we're going to continue that once the twenty
Speaker 1: four hour mark hits and get ready for crazy. I
Speaker 1: would about the ball security, they brought that up as
Speaker 1: as as far as something you did today, what went
Speaker 1: into that was there was there something you had to
Speaker 1: do an extra or do different to sall um for sure?
Speaker 1: For sure, UM, I think UM just just just having
Speaker 1: the right type of technique with the ball in the end,
Speaker 1: and there were there were there were moments where it
Speaker 1: wasn't as good as we liked. UM. There were there
Speaker 1: were moments where we protected the ball really well. UM,
Speaker 1: I think early on, obviously the pick six put us
Speaker 1: in a hole, but we didn't. We didn't flinch. Um.
Speaker 1: And every time we threw the ball after that, UM,
Speaker 1: we random ball. We had great, great ball security and
Speaker 1: when we were all mindful of it. So, UM, it's
Speaker 1: in the testament to how we prepare, where we put
Speaker 1: our where we put our hats at, when we put
Speaker 1: our heads at, when we would prepare, Um, we knew
Speaker 1: it would kind of be a muggy day of you know,
Speaker 1: a bad day outside in terms of the weather, and
Speaker 1: we persevere through it. And I'm proud of this football
Speaker 1: team for being able to withstand any type of condition. Thanks, thanks,
Speaker 1: thank you. That's you're even keeled, QB one. You never
Speaker 1: know the team was four and oh by the way,
Speaker 1: he takes the podium after these press conferences, but he
Speaker 1: was always looking ahead. He said, they persevered today and
Speaker 1: it's on to the next. Well earlier today, friend was
Speaker 1: able to break down the first mile centers rushing touchdown
Speaker 1: in this week's Freako review. All right, so this week
Speaker 1: here on the Rico Review, I want to look back
Speaker 1: to the first half the Eagles. Great response from this team.
Speaker 1: They go down fourteen nothing to Jacksonville. The offense and
Speaker 1: defense both make plays tomorrow back into this game. This
Speaker 1: is the game time play. Now, Miles Sanders, he's the
Speaker 1: one who gets into the end zone. Five carriers for
Speaker 1: forty yards on that drive, four miles and let's take
Speaker 1: a look at the touchdown run because this is basic
Speaker 1: zone play here from Miles Sanders. He's going to carry
Speaker 1: this off the right side. Now, I want you to
Speaker 1: watch the offensive line because Jason Kelsey and Isaac Sayamalo,
Speaker 1: they do a great job on what it's basically a
Speaker 1: little fold scheme where you're gonna get Isaac SAYMLO blocking
Speaker 1: down on the defensive tackle and Jason Kelsey's gonna wrap
Speaker 1: around almost like a lead fullback on this play. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna let this run for a sec. And you
Speaker 1: can see these blocks kind of developed. Now, this is
Speaker 1: an advantageous box for the Eagles as well, because you
Speaker 1: saw that they had a little bit of a lighter box.
Speaker 1: The linebacker, he's got to hang out on the back
Speaker 1: side just in case Jalen Hurts decides to keep this ball.
Speaker 1: You can see Dallas Goddard, they're running a little bit
Speaker 1: of a screenplay on that back side. So this whole
Speaker 1: backside of that Jaguars defense, they're worried about everything that
Speaker 1: the Eagles could be doing on that side of the field.
Speaker 1: Now back to the play side. Watch Jason Kelsey, he's
Speaker 1: pulling up to the second level. DeVante Smith, he's coming
Speaker 1: down to crack the safety. You see Jack Driscoll up
Speaker 1: to the second level lane. Johnson creates an excellent seal
Speaker 1: on the forced player. So this is a really nice,
Speaker 1: well defined ali And look who's leading the charge there
Speaker 1: four Miles Sanders. That's Jason Kelsey as the lead blocker.
Speaker 1: We can let this run. Miles does an outstanding job.
Speaker 1: Look at DeVante Smith the energy he's got on the
Speaker 1: backside of that play. After delivering the block on the safety,
Speaker 1: the Eagles set a record an NFL record for points
Speaker 1: in the second quarter to start a season eighty five
Speaker 1: points in the second quarter over the first four games
Speaker 1: of the season. The Eagles do an outstanding job coming
Speaker 1: back into this game. This play tied it at fourteen.
Speaker 1: Now is your chance to vote for Toyota Player of
Speaker 1: the Week. Go to Philadelphia Eagles dot com slash Toyota
Speaker 1: Player of the Week to cast your vote. I get
Speaker 1: a chance at a brand new Toyota. All right, bellas
Speaker 1: we go our three nominees. First up, James I Admiry
Speaker 1: with that interception, his second of the season. Sticking with
Speaker 1: the defense, we're going Hassan Reddick and his career day.
Speaker 1: Four total tackles, two sacks, a quarterback hit at TfL
Speaker 1: and two forced fumbles. All right. Lastly for the offense,
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, another career day for this Eagles team. Team
Speaker 1: twenty seven carries one hundred and thirty four yards and
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Like you're already making eyes over there? What's
Speaker 1: it going to me? Man? Oh, I tell you gotta
Speaker 1: go with twenty seven carries, two touchdowns, no fumbles, no
Speaker 1: fumbles on the day, Hassan Ready, Great job, Hassan Reddick,
Speaker 1: But I gotta go with Booby Males. You are not
Speaker 1: doing your linebackers unbelievable. Black. I went defense last week.
Speaker 1: Get no, that's right, I went week. Look, we're gonna
Speaker 1: gore the fact that I've got a temple diploma hanging
Speaker 1: up somewhere as somewhere in my house. But I will
Speaker 1: say it's gets on. Reddick. Two sacks, two forced fumbles,
Speaker 1: two fumble recoveries, the both of which were pivotal in
Speaker 1: this game. One in the comeback one to seal the victory.
Speaker 1: Late in the game, Hassan Reddick give it to the
Speaker 1: Temple Owl. Come on, what are you doing? Believable? I mean,
Speaker 1: the man had twenty seven carries above thirty two two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I was joking last week when I said we're gonna
Speaker 1: call your former teammates, I'm gonna call your for we
Speaker 1: would seth Toyer saying to you right now, he would
Speaker 1: not be happy, not be happy, should not be happy
Speaker 1: with me. All right, We're gonna turn our attention to
Speaker 1: Week five. The Eagles are headed to Arizona. They're gonna
Speaker 1: take on the Cardinals. The Cardinals are currently playing right
Speaker 1: now against Carolina, but a big opportunity for the Eagles
Speaker 1: to head out west and get a win in the
Speaker 1: NFC West. Right now, they're down to the Panthers seven
Speaker 1: h in the second quarter. What do we think, guys, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, this team keeps playing the way that it
Speaker 1: is playing right now, it's almost it's hard to contain
Speaker 1: the excitement and the confidence. But this they should be
Speaker 1: five and at the next week's game. You know, Arizona
Speaker 1: going out there. I get it, it's going to be
Speaker 1: in their stadium, but the Eagles are just too good
Speaker 1: of a football team. I think Arizona has a lot
Speaker 1: of question marks over there. This Eagles team. I'd be
Speaker 1: interested to see how many guys we have back they
Speaker 1: have left the game today so that we have them
Speaker 1: next week. But right now, I can't see anybody beating
Speaker 1: the Eagles right now. So Arizona have done a lot
Speaker 1: of work on then the last couple of days. Offensively,
Speaker 1: gotta worry about Kyler Murray. Threw a pick six today,
Speaker 1: that's why they're down seven nothing. So he threw a
Speaker 1: pick six against Carolina, But you have to worry about
Speaker 1: his athleticism. So dynamic ball comes out fast. We've all
Speaker 1: seen the highlights with what he's done so far this season.
Speaker 1: He can create. Defensively, maybe more so than any team
Speaker 1: in the league. They are like, screw it, let's blitz.
Speaker 1: Screw every single play. They blitz more than they don't.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable watching that defense play corners, safeties, linebackers, equipment managers.
Speaker 1: They got video guys getting out of the stands like
Speaker 1: everybody is getting after the quarterback. So that's the defense
Speaker 1: that the Eagles are gonna prepare for this week. Very interesting.
Speaker 1: The Eagles haven't played two quarterbacks that are similar in
Speaker 1: any way, very different quarterbacks for the first four weeks.
Speaker 1: Tyler Mary will be another different one as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a little water bug back there. But you gotta,
Speaker 1: you gotta, you gotta know where he's at because it
Speaker 1: knows how to keep plays alive with his legs. All right,
Speaker 1: we will be a four twenty five kick, a little
Speaker 1: different than the usual one o'clock and then after that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are coming to town for Sunday Night football.
Speaker 1: Well have you covered all throughout game day next week.
Speaker 1: Enjoy the rest of your night and go Birds.
