WEBVTT - The Post-Game Show Pres. by Ricoh: Eagles vs. Patriots 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:39.400 Wow. Wow Wow. After trailing fourteen and nothing early, the 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:44.280 Eagles rallied with five consecutive touchdowns thirty five points total, 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.080 and then held on late to defeat the New England 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.400 Patriots thirty five to twenty eight to snap a three 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.200 game losing streak and get to five and seven on 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.000 the season. It was the Eagles first win in New 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:02.720 England since nineteen eighty seven. Hold everyone, and welcome to 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.959 the postgame show presented by Rico here in Philadelphia Eagles 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.480 dot com. I'm Chris McPherson, please to be joined by 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.600 former Eagles linebacker Ike Rease. Ike. I think we need 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.840 a second to take a deep breath after that thrilling finish. 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.560 To say the very least, the Eagles having lost three 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.399 straight games going to New England facing a ten and 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.160 one New England Patriots team that does not lose back 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.080 to back games very often, and the Eagles in all 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.360 three phases came up with huge plays and was able 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.160 to hold on for a thrilling finish thirty five to 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.760 twenty eight to defeat the Patriots. Yeah, and let's not 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.760 forget they were down fourteen and nothing in this game 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.199 and it was not looking good. And all of a sudden, 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.960 Bill Belichick decides he wants to try an onside kick, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.280 pooch punt or pooch kick. Eagles do a great job 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.920 of recovering it, take advantage of the short field, and 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.920 I think the momentum started to change from that point on. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.800 They got the block punt after that score touchdown. I mean, 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.920 it was just this was just a great effort from 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.760 the Eagles, and it was a little expected. Like you 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.920 said that Patriots just don't lose very often consecutive games. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.440 They certainly don't lose very often up there at Foxboro. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:13.280 So Eagles collective effort offense, defense and special teams, and 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.040 that's the type of effort you were going to need 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.120 to go up there and beat the New England Patriots. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.080 Certainly everyone wondered how would the team respond after the 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.800 last two games in which they gave up ninety points 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.960 ten touchdown passes, and today you look at the total 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.960 amount of yards. Nothing sexy from the Eagle standpoint, because 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.360 they were pretty much getting it done on defense and 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.880 special teams from a scoring standpoint, but the red zone offense. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.560 Sam Bradford comes back into the lamp and there's a 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.639 phenomenal job of running the offense, and then you look 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.240 at the rushing attack and what they were able to do, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.560 mixing in Darren Sproles who got the start today, working 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.480 in Kenyon Barner. He did have that costly fumble, which 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.799 luckily the Eagles defense was able to hold off late, 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:56.120 but key contributions from them there throughout the course of 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.720 the game helped in the red zone. And Bradford with 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.920 two touchdown tosses is one to Zach Ertz and the 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.440 other to Jordan Matthews. Yeah, obviously a nice job from 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.480 the Eagles offense. You get down in the red zone 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.680 against the Patriots, you gotta score touchdowns instead of kicking 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.080 field goals. They took great advantage of those two opportunities 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.360 they had. But this game was set up by the 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.000 defense and the special teams. I mean that pick six, 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.520 then Malcolm Jenkins was able to get off of the 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.880 Walter de Tournament tip ball. That really changed the game 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.640 in my opinion. Also, Patriots looking like they're going in 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.519 to score Eagles backs against the wall. Not only do 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.880 they get the interception, but they take it back for 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.040 seven and that was huge. So they have a special 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.040 teams touchdown to darren Sproles eighty three yard punt return, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.200 his second punt return touchdown of the season. You saw 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.320 on the screen there the Nagy good block punt return 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.600 for a touchdown, Chris Maragos with a key block punt 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.400 and another key play on these darren Sproles punt return 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.920 touchdown as well, key block to get that started. And 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.440 then the Malcolm Jenkins ninety nine yards taking the ball 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.720 to the house to be able to help the Eagles 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.480 there in that situation. So all three phases contributing a 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.160 little bit. Later on, we're going to hear from the 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.960 head coach, Chip Kelly as well as from some of 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.200 the Eagles players, and we'll also delve into exactly how 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.000 the big plays came truition, and of course we want 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.800 to hear from you, so you can call in in 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.680 a little bit.

Welcome back to the postgame Show, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.600 presented by Rico here in Philadelphia Eagles dot Com Chris 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.960 McPherson alongside former Eagles linebacker Ike Reese Ike. One of 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.120 the big storylines coming into this game would be how 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.400 would the Eagles respond, Because I go back to that 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.040 Miami game a couple of weeks ago, and these were 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.479 coming off that emotional win over the Dallas Cowboys. They're 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.320 up sixteen to three in the first quarter, and everyone thought, Wow, 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.679 the Eagles have this handled. They're gonna turn the corner 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.719 and they're gonna take off. And obviously we saw what 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.920 happened the last two and a half weeks, but here today, 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.440 fourteen to nothing down in the first half, but they're 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.720 able to rally for thirty five straight points and then 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.599 hold on at the very end. So we saw a 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.160 lot of resilience from this Eagle's team today. Yeah, no 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.640 doubt about it. I mean, this team was down and 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.320 you're starting to say to yourself, oh, here we go again, 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.799 fourteen none. But this they you know, they showed us something. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.080 They showed us that they have pride. They showed us 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.400 that they do have resiliency and that you know, the 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.400 testing of FOURT two to go out there and fight. 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.720 And that's what we've been wanting to see the last 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.560 couple of weeks. You give up back to back forty 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.440 five point games and that just didn't look like Eagles 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:21.280 football the last couple of weeks. So if nothing else, 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.120 you saw a team that played with pride. Today, you 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.480 saw a team that played like they care. And this 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.440 is the result when you put when you put the 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.400 effort in. And this started last week. This didn't start today. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.800 This started when they came in to prepare for the 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.000 New England Patris. They had the right frame of mind, 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.440 They paid attention to detail, they blocked out all the 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.800 negativity on the outside and they focused in. It may 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.760 have drawn them closer together, let them unite, and they 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.040 went out there and quite possibly had their best performance 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.120 of the season. Against a team that was ten and 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.440 one before the day, Like, what did it mean to 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.040 you that Malcolm Jenkins made his comments to the media 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.520 on his radio show earlier in the week saying how 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.320 the coaches need to make the players more accountable, and 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.040 then for him to have the performance that he had today. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.680 He didn't just have the ninety nine yard interception return 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.080 for a touchdown. He also had some key tackles for 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:12.840 a loss in fact one to help set up that 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.040 interception there down in the red zone. So in my 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.960 estimation here, obviously he backed up his talk and had 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.200 a huge game. What did it mean to you, ike 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.240 for him to have the performance that he had today? Yeah, 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.120 I was a little shot I heard it. But here's 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.520 the thing. He had every right to say what he 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.280 said when you've put it together the type of season 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.000 and Malcolm James has put together, and he's prepared every 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.199 week to go in and he's out there giving one 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.160 hundred percent maximum effort. This is the pride for guy. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.200 This is a guy who knows what it takes, what 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.160 the champagne tastes like, from winning the Super Bowl championship, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.400 from his days in New Orleans. So when he spoke 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.760 up last week. He knows when things aren't right. This 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.480 isn't just a guy just flying off the handle because 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.559 he wants to point fingers. You know, this was a 0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:00.280 player that sounded concerned about the team's playout are on 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.280 the field, that sounded concerned about their preparation heading in 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.920 the games, and he felt the need to voice his 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.880 frustration his opinions on those matters. And I think he's 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.000 earned every right to do that. Listen, when you're out 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.199 there and you can back up the talk and you're 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.160 putting the production out on the field, you have every 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.599 right as a team leader to step up. No, it 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.760 may have rough with some feathers, some people may not 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.679 have wanted to hear it, but that's the part about 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.760 being the leader. You can't say everything that everyone wants 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.480 to hear that's gonna make them happy. Being a leader 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.400 also means sometimes you're gonna say things it's gonna make 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.640 people feel uncomfortable, and as long as it's for the 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.080 right reason, you'll be all better for it than the end. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.680 And I think that's exactly what Malcolm Jenkins was coming from. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.640 His heart was in the right place. And guess what 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.760 it seems as if someone hurting, whether it be teammates, coaches, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.320 or whomever. They came out there with a better effort 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.680 and he led. Certainly that's a case. We're gonna go 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.360 to the phone lines. We're also waiting to hear from 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.080 head coach Chip Kelly at Jillett Stadium. Let's welcome Chris 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.959 from Virginia to the postgame show presented by Rico. Chris 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.240 Howard sayed, are you about this Eagles win? Smack Man? 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.200 This says, see Lee Man. Great win. You know, I figured, hey, 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:07.800 if this is a week to catch to Patriots, this 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.600 is the time to doo was banged up one off, 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.800 but great win. You know, you never know what's going 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.200 to happen the best of the season. But they means 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.920 the Zombs trim be the game next week. So I'm 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.440 excited about that and I am Seeley, no question about 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.760 it that this is the time. At the same time, 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.839 I would say, I don't know if you're gonna be 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.880 able to beat the Patriots in the situation, just because 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.080 it's so tough. They're coming off the loss to Denver 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.360 ten to one on the season. You knew that they 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.280 were going to be hungry, you know, Tom Brady made 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.520 some comments on his radio show in Boston that you know, 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.000 it was the most painful loss. And this is a 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.920 guy who saw Super Bowls, but he came out of 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.760 this lost feeling that it was such a painful loss 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.360 that you felt like you were going to get the 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.640 best effort from the Patriots today, and for whatever reason, 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.720 the Eagles they brought their a game and the Patriots 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.760 didn't seem to be ready for it. So Seeley, thank 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.840 you very much as always for the phone call there. Yeah, listen, listen. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.880 The Patriots were a little undergun today, undermanned. They didn't 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.120 have grounk. They starting me to han the Edelman, who 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.760 they won't have problemly for the rest of the regular season, 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.080 didn't have high tower. But those other Patriots problems. We 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.240 have our own problems here on the Eagles. We've lost 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.080 three in a row and we needed to get this 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.160 losing taste out of our mouth. So if we happen 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.960 to catch the Patriots at the right time while they're 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.320 a little banged up, a little injured, so be it 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.280 not feeling sorry at all, not apologizing for getting to 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.439 w by any means necessary. This was a much need 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.320 to win for this team. Certainly, we're gonna get to 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:29.800 more of your phone calls later on in the show. 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.400 We're waiting to hear from head coach Chip Kelly. But 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.640 going back to the defense, we talked about Jenkins and 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.400 the interception return that he had for a touchdown. Bill 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.200 Davis schematically, I think we all wondered what he would 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.800 do to attack Tom Brady because you might say, look, 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.840 you might want to bring the house, but he gets 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.040 rid of the ball so quickly that it's a waste 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.080 of defenders. You don't want to sit back and just 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.560 give one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history time 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.280 to pick you apart, so you have to kind of 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.120 mix things up there. I thought he pretty much stuck 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.480 to his normal game plan, didn't go too far outside 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.160 the script, and it was just a matter of the 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.640 players seemed to execute. I know it's that word that 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.960 the coach had been talking about all season, but just 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.520 better execution from that side of the football today, Yeah, 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.320 no doubt about it. I mean, the defense certainly seemed 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.880 to be on their a game and it started early. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.760 The pressure on Tom Brady. We all know how he 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.800 responds to being knocked around. Even had a sack today 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:26.880 where he went down most of these quarterbacks, and that's 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.679 what you gotta do to a guy like Tom Brady. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.360 You gotta make him uncomfortable in the pocket. You look 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.679 at his yards, A lot of those were junk yards 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.560 late in the game when he was throwing a lot 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.360 to try to catch up. I thought the defense for 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:41.000 at least three quarters kept him confused. They hit him, 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.080 took away the big playability at times, and you know, 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.760 it made the Patriots sort of get out of character. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.520 And that's when you get surprise on sidekicks and things. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.480 That nature is when you're frustrated as an office and 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.079 you can't do what you want to do. They were 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.040 trying to steal an extra possession. I thought this Eagles defense, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.600 for the most part, played this Patriots offense to today. So, yeah, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.280 two sacks from Connor Barwin, two more from Brandon Graham. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.040 They were able to generate that pressure that we had 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.640 not seen throughout the early part of the season. Yeah, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.960 times they were able to get the quarterback off his spot, 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.000 but they were actually able to bring the quarterback down 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.240 for the sack today. Also, to give some credit to 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.600 Eric Rowe, you go to that last drive of the 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.200 game the rookies, making his first career start, and the 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.000 first play, Tom Brady's going deep to Branda Fell to 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.640 try to get a cheap PI call something to really 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.160 shift the field position because the Patriots didn't have any 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.680 timeouts and they were backed up in their own territory. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.600 Eric rowe good coverage on the play, didn't bite for 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.920 anything there. And then the last play of game, the 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.600 fourth and long, Brady trying to find the titan over 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.079 the middle and Roe was there to break up the past. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.800 So he hidled himself quite well for his first career start. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.640 You know, he knew come into this game that he 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.600 was going to be tested time and time again by 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.560 one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and he 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.640 was up for the challenge. Today after playing a game 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.080 win which a lot of people criticize him for his 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.839 performance against Calvin Johnson, but I think as everyone showed 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.559 much better than most people give him credit for it. Yeah, 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.000 he shouldn't have been criticized for the game against de Trailer. 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.839 Are you kidding me? From the Hall of Fame wide 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.000 receiver going up against a rookie. I like the confidence 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.920 of Eric row He accepted the challenge last week to 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.840 go play Calvin Johnson. He wanted that challenge, and he 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.000 certainly seemed to be excited throughout the week to be 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.560 getting his first start of his national football career. So 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.720 you know, if there's nothing else you're gonna listen. As 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.240 a cornerback, you gotta have a short memory, and this league, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.000 you're gonna get beat. With the way the rules are 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.200 in today's game, it's very difficult to play cornerback in 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.240 the National Football League. So you have to have a 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:39.240 short memory, remain confident. You give up a play, brush 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.600 it off your shoulders, go back in there and keep competing. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.560 And that's what he did. And you know these guys 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.560 are going to catch balls from time to time, but 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.080 you have to remain confident and keep competing every down. 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.200 And that's what I've seen from Eric Row. I wanted 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.520 to glance real quick at the rushing yards by the Patriots, 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.160 just one hundred and three total on the day. And 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.920 the reason I wanted to look at that is because, 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.680 come into this game, it's a situation where you think 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.880 the Patriots are going to throw the ball over the field. 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:04.880 They're gonna try to get the running backs matchup on 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.640 the linebackers. Scott Chandler is gonna make plays in that 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.160 Gronk role with Rob Gronkowski out Danny Amidol's back. But 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.120 I always wondered, were they just kind of zigzag almost 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.000 and go with la Garrett Blunt on the ground and 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.400 try to beat the Eagles in the run game, especially 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.800 with the fact that Cedric Thornton, one of the team's 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.880 best run defenders up front, was out. Early on Sunday morning, 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.920 the Eagles announced that Benny Logan was added to the 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.560 injury report as questionable due to a knee injury. So 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.320 would the Patriots see all that and try to take advantage? 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.040 And I thought the Eagles run defense, which has been 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.280 much maligned in the last couple of weeks, came to 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.800 play today to force Bradys to throw the ball in 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.200 the air and they were able to get the win. Yeah, 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.000 it's difficult when your game plan for the New England Patriots, 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.160 they have a multitude of game plans they can throw 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.040 with you. You know, sometimes they like to feature the 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.640 tight ends. They'll like the feature Garrett Blunt running the ball. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.000 When Dion Lewis was there, he'll get featured catching the ball. 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.280 Out of the backfield. They'll throw the ball a lot, 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.320 or some games they'll come in looking to run the ball, 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.520 So it can be difficult trying to gain plan for 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.640 this team. And then Brady is the type of quarterback 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.760 that when he gets up to the line of scrimmage, 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.640 he's calling plays from the line of scrimmage based on 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.800 what he's seeing. The defense too, and that's why they'd 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.000 been so successful throughout his career. I thought the Eagles 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.320 hung in there. They gave up a few plays, but 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.760 they made more than their fair share of four sacks 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:24.200 on Brady two interceptions against him down there in the 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.240 red zone. Big. I mean it's big. You don't make 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.680 a guy like Tom Brady looked the way the Eagles 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.880 were able to make him look today, certainly so. It 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.680 was Brady's first two interception game of the season, the 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.200 first two interceptions he's ever thrown against the Philadelphia Eagles, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.120 and believe or not, it's the first turnovers of any 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.560 kind by the Eagles defense dating back to Jordan Hicks's 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.600 pick six against the Dallas Cowboys and the overtime win. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.480 It seems so long ago where you thought, hey, this 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.320 is one of the most opportunistic defenses in the entire 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.280 NFL throughout the early part of the season. What happened 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.960 to that? Yes, they forced the safety against Miami, but 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.480 from then on nothing is from a turnover standpoint by 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.160 the Eagles defense. They got their mojo back. Now Listen, 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.280 I can't tell you exactly what it was. I mean, 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.320 I think they would know better than anyone in that 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.959 defensive meeting room. This team had played good defense weeks 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:15.840 one through eight, and then it just all of a 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.399 sudden fell off after they lost that game to the 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.760 Miami Dolphins, and it did not look like the Eagles 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.600 defense that we had seen through the most part of 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.480 this season, getting sacks, getting turnovers. All right, we're saying 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:32.480 the foxbour Massachusetts head coach Chip Kelly, addressing the media 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.880 so much today and not as much with Murray, w 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.760 went into that some of the matchups for the linebackers. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.480 You know, we felt like it's as big a group 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.280 of linebackers as you're gonna face. And then we just 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.080 kind of, as the game expressed itself, we're kind of 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:46.640 just kind of trying to go with the hot hand 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.159 and we used all three. Um, you know, DeMarco had 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:50.920 a big run on the inside zone in the red 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.760 zone there on that drive that tirteam played drive, we 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.320 had a big run on that. But we just thought 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.840 we were gonna use all three today and needed all three. 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.520 But when you got Collins and Nikovic and guys, it's 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.560 it's as big a linebacker crew as you're gonna face. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.720 So um, sometimes those smaller, quicker guys can can cause 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:12.160 some problems in the matchup. I thought Darren played really 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.679 well in all phases, and I think it's something you 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.360 continue to see out of him. We see it every 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.919 day in training, and you know it's it's on us 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:20.439 as the staff. We need to continue to get there 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.679 and involved in what we're doing because he he tilts 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:23.920 to field a little bit. And when now all of 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:25.879 a sudden, we hadn't used him that much, so people 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.840 don't people hadn't weren't double in him. But then when 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.280 he was in there, I started to draw some extra 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:35.760 attention and open some other guys up. So going down 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:41.600 the last three games help proudly you otherball teams happened. Well, 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.560 you know, I I've always been proud of him, and 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.639 I told those guys that I said, I think sometimes 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.120 they don't see in them what I see in them. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.280 And I know we have a good football team, and 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.440 I think they showed it today and they they shown 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.040 it at other times during the season. In the last 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.119 two weeks we didn't show it, um and that's what 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.720 was disappointing for them. But I think, um, we got contributions. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.200 I thought defensively, the pressure we got on the quarterback 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.399 was instrumental today. You know, but then when you have 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.440 a block kick for a touchdown, you have an interception 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.359 return for a touchdown, and a punt return for a touchdown, 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.760 it takes those things to win in the stadium against 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.560 uh this coach, that coach, and in that quarterback. So 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.840 in the defense today, I think we generated pressure and 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.480
