Hey, everybody, it's Jeff. We wanted to let you know that we're
0:02
recording this podcast episode on Tuesday, November twenty eighth, twenty twenty three.
0:07
By the time you hear this, some things may have changed, but we
0:09
hope you enjoy the show. All right, folks, welcome to Opposition Territory
0:39
here at the Philadelphia Sports Table podcast show, the longest running weekly Philly sports
0:42
podcast show in the world, that's right over ten and a half years strong.
0:46
We got a great discussion coming your way here on Opposition Territory. Hope
0:50
you have been enjoying the content. As of late, man, we have
0:52
had some great discussions on our table talk show Opposition Territory and our regular show.
0:58
Our Eagles postgame podcasts have been absolutely lit. Of course, since this
1:02
team is ten and one heading into Week thirteen. In this matchup against the
1:07
San Francisco forty nine Ers, we're gonna get into some forty nine Ers talk
1:10
with regard to this preview. We have got a great guest, a really
1:14
great friend of mine. Let's just get to that discussion right now. It's
1:18
great to have back on the podcast, coming to us from Fox Sports Radio
1:21
of the Lehigh Valle. You can follow him on the Twitter dot com And
1:25
honestly, folks, I don't even know how much longer I'm gonna be on
1:27
there. I know I've been saying it a few times, but I'm telling
1:30
you it's getting really rough. Anyway, that's a conversation for another time.
1:34
At Mike Raymond LV on Twitter, we've got the one and only Mike Raymond.
1:38
How you doing, buddy, They're basically what you're telling me is I'm
1:42
going to have to invest the time and developing my what was the thing called
1:46
threads? Threads? Yeah, now you gotta get on threads. I actually
1:52
just I actually wrote something on threads, or I should say, micro blogged
1:57
on threads, and it's something with regard to the Eagles, and I got
2:01
a decent amount of traction, a lot more than it did on Twitter,
2:05
to be honest. So I I'm so tired of the platform. I'm tired
2:08
of what comes in front of my face, like the people that I follow,
2:12
Like, for instance, Mike, I've been following you for years,
2:15
years and years, and your stuff doesn't come up in my feed ever,
2:19
even in my follow feed, it never comes up. I'm not gonna I
2:22
just it's like, why am I here? Why am I doing this?
2:25
I get it. I understand there's frustrations and there's so many different social media
2:30
platforms. Which one do you invest all your time into? Is the exact
2:34
million dollar questions? Exactly? Well, I gotta tell you I'm investing some
2:38
time into figuring out who may potentially win this matchup this coming week, Week
2:43
thirteen. Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco forty nine Ers. No, you very
2:46
much follow the forty nine ers so very closely, which is why I want
2:50
to have you on the Opposition Territory pod here to preview this matchup. Man,
2:54
Mike. These are two powerhouse teams going up against each other. It's
2:59
a match of last year's NFC Championship game and hopefully is going to actually be
3:05
like a true a true performance from both sides of the offense, both sides
3:09
of the defense, without any devastating injuries. And I think what's interesting about
3:15
this matchup is, you know, you look at the dynamics throughout the league,
3:19
AFC and the NFC, and things have altered so much this season that
3:23
the AFC, you know, they were coming into this season, they were
3:25
supposed to be the powerhouse conference. But now it's the NFC who appears to
3:30
be just more dominant. Of course, with the Eagles, forty nine Ers,
3:35
Dallas Cowboys, even the Detroit Lions. For God's sake, you know
3:38
who would have thought that even just a few years ago. So I do
3:40
wonder if this Eagles forty nine Ers game is going to be a precursor to
3:45
a possible NFC championship rematch game here, what are your thoughts? Well,
3:52
first thing, first, I think a lot of it is the AFC cannibalizing
3:54
itself. I think there's a lot of good teams and also there's some teams
3:58
that are just underperforming. We thought maybe the Chargers might turn the corner this
4:01
year. No one expected the Bills to underperform the way they did, although
4:04
you can argue they did not underperform on the road in Philadelphia. They just
4:09
haven't been a good team in one score games. We've kind of seen that
4:12
a little bit. But regardless, I would say in terms of, you
4:15
know, the Eagles forty nine Ers December third matchup being a precursor to the
4:21
NFC title game, I think if you ask any member of the forty nine
4:24
Ers, that's exactly what they want. That's what that would exactly. They
4:28
want to be able to beat the Eagles on the biggest stage possible. You
4:31
know, it's interesting because you know, with that Bills win for the Eagles
4:36
last week, they stay firmly in that number one seed. You know,
4:41
the forty nine Ers are the number two, but they have three losses and
4:43
with the Eagles only having won, well maybe if they lose to the Bills,
4:46
you're playing, you know, for that first seed this week, and
4:49
that's not as big of a deal. But if they were the Eagles were
4:51
to win, excuse me, lose this week and then maybe the following week,
4:56
maybe maybe we're having a different conversation. You know, they go on
4:58
the road to Dallas. So if you ask the forty nine ers, they
5:01
wanted this matchup. They felt they were ready for this matchup back in January.
5:06
They thought if Brod Curdy was healthy and playing, that they would have
5:11
won that game. They said it after the game and postgame press conference.
5:14
You know, how much of that do I believe? You know, I
5:17
was confident going into the game, but you saw have to prove it on
5:21
the road in Philadelphia. So like there is that aspect of you could talk
5:26
all you want, but it doesn't matter until you actually prove it. Yeah,
5:30
but you know, it's interesting. You know, I mentioned the Cowboys
5:33
coming up following the San Francisco the following week you have to travel to Dallas.
5:38
I actually picked the Cowboys to beat the forty nine Ers in the NFC
5:41
postseason this year. I feel like it's finally time for the Cowboys, you
5:45
know, best two out of three, third time's charms, you know,
5:46
whatever you want to say, But yeah, that was my preseason pick.
5:50
You know, looking back, I don't know, it's interesting because as much
5:54
as the Cowboys fumble on themselves, you know, when it matters the most,
5:59
the forty nine ers, you know, it's only a matter of time
6:00
until their game is kind of figured out. But anyway, in terms of
6:04
this Sunday being the NFC title game precursor, I think any member of the
6:09
quarter Niners would say that's exactly what they want. And Brock Purty is looking
6:12
to make his mark in Philadelphia for sure, especially what happened in last year's
6:16
NFC championship game. We love talking about opposing quarterbacks that opposed the Philadelphia Eagles,
6:24
and specifically the defense Mike here on our Opposition Territory podcasts. And as
6:29
we know, brock Perty only played against the Eagles last year in that NFC
6:31
Championship for less than a quarter after he sustained a torn ligament in his elbow.
6:36
And this is going to be a battle of two incredible quarterbacks, yet
6:42
very very different quarterbacks in a sense. Brock Perty he's only had one fourth
6:48
quarter comeback and drive in his very short career. Jalen Hurts has had four.
6:53
So I'm wondering, as we're heading into this matchup again two very different
6:56
quarterbacks, what strengths do you see brock Perty having this season where he could
7:00
be the better quarterback this coming week and potentially beat this Eagus defense. Well,
7:06
if you're looking for strengths, so I'll get to those of just a
7:10
second. You're also just I wanted to kind of full disclosure. I was
7:14
not the biggest Rock Party fan. I kept being that guy and saying,
7:16
hey, until he proves me otherwise, until he proves me otherwise, proves
7:19
me otherwise, Well, you know how many times can I continue to say
7:24
that? And he continues to do great things, and really the only shortcomings
7:29
that Brock has had has been when the pieces around him are injured. So
7:32
does that speak to him as being a great quarterback? Probably not, But
7:36
he is meant to play in this offense, and we've seen guys like Jimmy
7:41
Garoppolo excel in this offense. He was, you know, he's not the
7:45
greatest quarterback. He saw what he really was when he went out to Vegas
7:47
this year. So like, how bad was Kyle Shanahan masking that? So
7:51
any quarterback that plays in a Kyle Shanahan system is going to have success,
7:56
and it's exactly what Brock's having this year. We're talking about the number one
7:59
player with top QBR in the league right now. He is the top in
8:03
terms of completion percentage in the league. So he is throwing an average I
8:07
think seventy percent completion. I thought it was, yeah, I thought it
8:11
was a little over seventy percent completion. Actually yeah, I take it's seventy
8:13
point seventy point two. I had it up earlier, seventy two point two,
8:18
and that's just ahead of Dak Prescott and two A Taguaba Loa. So
8:20
this guy when he goes back to pass, he is very efficient. He
8:24
finds his targets, he finds his receivers, and a lot of that is
8:26
the is the offense. Like we just mentioned with Kyle Shanahan, you know,
8:30
right at the line of scrimmage, you're able to kind of find Deebo
8:31
Samuel on those screen passes or you know, Christian McCaffrey on a screen pass.
8:37
You know, there's a lot of weapons that you can distribute to right
8:39
within the five yards of the line of scrimmage. And that's why Purdy is
8:41
having the success he's done, because they're making it very easy for him to
8:45
be successful. Now. I know we're going to talk a little bit more
8:48
about what the Eagles can do to disrupt party, and we'll get to that
8:50
in a little bit, but right now, you know, he has certainly
8:54
showed up in a big way. He had a great primetime win on Thanksgiving
8:58
against the Seahawks, and I have confidence that he's going to show up in
9:01
this game because he thinks, well, I know the forty nine ers think
9:05
that they should have won last time, but I think I want to see
9:09
a full game with him against that Eagles defense. We know that Eagles defense
9:13
has a history. I don't know if we could say that right now is
9:16
at its top form and injuries contribute to that. But yeah, you know,
9:18
I want to see him compete against that Eagles defense. I think it's
9:22
going to be really interesting to see how he holds up, especially with this
9:24
Eagles crowd. I mean, if this was out in San Francisco, quite
9:28
frankly, Mike, I'd say it'd be a slam dunk that the forty nine
9:31
ers probably win this game. Not too sure, just based on the crowd.
9:37
And I think how the Eagles really want to rebound from an offensive perspective,
9:41
and that's saying something given the fact that they just scored thirty seven points,
9:45
But in terms of the first half offense, I know this team really
9:48
wants to rebound and just kind of put it all together. And I know
9:52
that from an offensive standpoint. With regard to the San Francisco forty nine Ers,
9:56
you know, depending on what happens with his Eagles defense this coming week,
10:01
you know, they could be down Fletcher Cox after he sustained a growing
10:05
injury. Milton Williams one of the most I think underrated defensive linemen in the
10:09
NFC. He didn't play this past week either. The Eagles rush defense has
10:13
really been hurting over the past two weeks. The Chiefs they rushed for one
10:18
hundred and sixty eight yards. The Bills rushed for over one hundred and seventy
10:20
yards against this Eagles front that is supposed to be extremely plurific and plarific.
10:28
Did I just mess up that word? Of course? Yes, thank you
10:31
very much, dear. I've been talking too much today, all right,
10:35
But really, when I look at the run defense of the Eagles, I
10:37
see a certain gentleman in red and gold is going to be coming in and
10:41
Christian McCaffrey, and I'm scared to death here. So are we gonna see
10:46
another one hundred plus yard game? Do you think from Christian McCaffrey this week?
10:50
Or do you think Brot Perdy is really gonna need to beat the Eagles
10:52
through the air. How do you see this offense playing out for the San
10:56
Francoisco forty nine ers. Yeah, when it comes to McCaffrey, he's gonna
10:58
get his in terms of yardage. I wouldn't be concerned so much with yardage.
11:03
I would be worried if he gets into the end zone. That's been
11:05
the storyline for the last twenty some games. There's only been one game in
11:09
the last twenty some games that he hasn't had a touchdown. But is that
11:11
going to be the only piece that beats you With the forty nine ers,
11:15
there's a lot of factor in. Just like Eagles offense, there's a lot
11:18
of weapons that you have to factor in, which makes playing defense against them
11:20
a little bit more difficult. I'm not necessarily worried about Christian McCaffrey in the
11:26
run game. He'll always have holes to walk through because of that offensive line.
11:30
And you know, Fletcher Cox's health for sure is going to factor in
11:33
as to whether or not. And that's the one blessing that you guys do
11:37
have. In terms of depth on that defensive line, there's a lot of
11:39
guys that rotate in. But I know Jordan Davis has listed on the defensive
11:43
injury report, so is Fletcher Cox, Zach Cunningham, I know Darius Leonard.
11:48
I'm sorry Leonard from the Colt. I heard he might be coming into
11:50
Philadelphia. I'm just hoping before, not before this run. But there's a
11:56
lot there's a lot of depth on that defensive line. You mean Shimilton Williams
12:00
and then you know, Jalen Carter has had big moments in the year,
12:03
So you know, I feel like the forty nine ers are going to get
12:09
some success on the ground, but it's going to be a team effort all
12:13
the way around. It's going to be, you know, Kyle Shanahan getting
12:16
the ball at the Brandon ayuk It's going to be Kyle Shanahan handing the ball
12:18
off the Deebo. Samuel Jaywon Jennings is a guy that doesn't get nearly enough
12:24
respect at the wide receiver spot. And then of course, when you forget
12:26
about all that, hey, one of the best tight ends in the league
12:30
in George Kittle, can pop and beat it deep. So there's a lot
12:33
of things you have to factor and Christian MacCaffrey will get a majority of the
12:35
eyeballs, but there's a lot of weapons. You mentioned one particular gentleman a
12:39
weapon on this forty nine ers offense. So I really want to get into
12:43
with you, Mike, because I think he's having such an underrated season and
12:48
a season that has not talked about as much as I think it probably should
12:50
be. And that's Brandon Ayuk Man. What a nice season he's having.
12:54
He's continuing to grow and develop as a receiver. I mean, last year
12:58
he averaged thirteen yards per reception. This season he's averaging the night. I
13:01
think it's last time I checked, it was like nineteen point six yards per
13:05
catch. I mean, it's pretty incredible how he has developed as a wide
13:09
receiver in Kyle Shanahan's offense here. So what has his growing role really meant
13:15
for the forty nine ers offense? And what are the Eagles defense really need
13:18
to look out for when it comes to Brandon Ayuk. Yeah, Brandon Ayuk
13:22
gives the ability to stretch the defense. He's that guy that Brock Party looks
13:26
for on those deep balls, sometimes forces those balls into small windows. But
13:31
Brandon Ayuk as a first round talent. I've continued to see him grow year
13:35
after year, and I will tell you right now, Jeff, he was
13:39
the reason I won my fantasy football league last year because he just came out
13:41
of nowhere and just kept producing and producing. You know, he was just
13:46
shy of one thousand yards this season, about five touchdowns, I believe,
13:48
But yeah, he's that guy that Brock Party's going to find down the field,
13:52
you know, Deebo Stanmuel is usually like under fifteen yards and then just
13:56
let him, you know, juke his way for the extra yards to the
14:00
catch. You know, I mentioned Jaywan Jennings, but like Brandon ay you
14:03
truly is the deep threat in this offense, and he's the one that you're
14:07
going to have to factor in, probably the guy, the guy that Darius
14:09
Slay will probably line up on the other side of, and you know,
14:13
being that number one versus number one. And I really think that Brandon Iyu
14:18
is going to have his hands full with the defensive secondary with Philadelphia, which
14:20
only has gotten better with Howie Rosen's acquisition fired this all during this season.
14:26
So I think there's a lot of weapons at the fort and nine Ers have.
14:28
I just don't know if their top end skill position guys like Ayu can
14:35
really make a difference with that really great secondary that the Eagles have. Let's
14:39
see, man, it's going to be a fantastic matchup for sure, and
14:41
we're gonna get into some matchup talk here in just a bit again, folks,
14:45
we're talking to Mike Raymond from Fox Sports Radio of the Lehigh Valley at
14:48
Mike Raymond LV on Twitter. Where can they find Fox Sports Radio Lee HighValley
14:54
on Twitter Mike at LB Fox Sports very good. You also do the sports
14:58
Medicine found up on Saturday mornings on Fox Sports Radio the Lehigh Valley. How
15:03
thing's been going with that. You've been having some good discussions, right,
15:05
Yeah, it's it's been great. I mean it's one of the longest running
15:09
Saturday morning shows in the Leigh Valley. So yeah, we do appreciate the
15:11
support of Saint Luke's but yeah, it's a lot of fun. We actually
15:15
just got done doing the East and Phillisburg game this year. This year it's
15:18
a year number four for me and one of the best high school rivalries.
15:22
Doing some play by play in my free time as well with the eleven Sports,
15:26
So it's it's a fun time, especially when we get into winter months.
15:30
You got wrestling, you got basketball too, so it's a busy time
15:33
of the year. Well, you do a great job, buddy. It's
15:35
why I wanted to have you on the podcast and to get into some matchups
15:39
here. Matchups, matchups, matchups. Let's talk about here with with some
15:45
of the forty nine ers vulnerabilities in terms of these matchups here. So when
15:50
you think of where this forty nine ers offense has gone how it's grown they
15:56
have, They've had some up and downs for sure. Where do you think
15:58
the forty niners are most vulnerable from an offensive standpoint as they're looking at this
16:03
matchup against the Eagles defense. Well, you got to go back to the
16:07
NFC title game. What happened. You got pressure on Rock Party and once
16:11
Rock Party isn't effective. You know, obviously injury contributed to his effectiveness this
16:15
past time around in January. But you know, when you get pressure on
16:19
rock Party and he's not able to distribute the ball the way he's you know,
16:22
done this season, That's why I think you beat the forty nine ers.
16:26
You have to worry about whether or not he can stay in that pocket,
16:32
force him into making this bad decisions. Basically the same game plan as
16:37
you did in the NFC title game. This is exactly what you have to
16:40
do. You just have to get bodies in his face and make his job
16:44
really difficult in the pocket. All right. On the opposite side of things
16:47
here, where do you think the forty nine ers are most vulnerable on the
16:51
defensive side of the ball as you're as you're looking at these matchups here,
16:56
I'm probably going to point out safety just because I think we need to bring
17:00
up the ACL injury to talanoa Hufunga, one of the guys who really is
17:03
the heartbeat of this defense. You know, we talk about both. We
17:08
talk about Fred Warner, one of the best linebackers in the league, but
17:12
at safety, that guy who was that emotional heartbeat of this defense goes down
17:18
and thrust rookie JayR. Brown into the spotlight. Yeah, obviously we know
17:23
him from his time at Penn State and he's the guy who played a lot
17:27
of football for the Nitney Lions. But you know, it's one thing to
17:30
do it in the Big ten. It's another thing to do it in these
17:33
big time games. So let's see what JayR. Brown's able to do.
17:37
I know, initially when he got into the lineup, there were people that
17:41
were targeting him, going after him, and there was a couple of bad
17:44
plays on a drive, but he had already has an interception to his name.
17:48
So that's the piece that I think if you're looking at the forty nine
17:52
ers defense in that secondary. We always talk about the secondary and how it's
17:56
a little bit underperforming, but that's the new and probably weakest spot that I
18:00
would identify and at that safety. All right, very good, And another
18:06
two part question for you as we kind of end things here and close things
18:11
up, and after we get into this two part question, I do have
18:15
something else I wanted to dive into with you really quick since you recently had
18:18
me on Fox Sports radular Lehigh Valley to talk about a certain college football team.
18:22
Wanted to get your take on that before before we stop recording. But
18:27
again, another two part question for you here talking on what these teams are
18:32
going to need to hit on for a win this week. What are the
18:34
forty nine ers going to need to hit on this week for a win and
18:37
give the Eagles their second loss of the season. What do you think that's
18:41
going to be, Mike, Yeah, just continuing to stay on pace on
18:45
offense, just making sure that you're extending drives, don't turn the ball over
18:52
and give the Eagles free possessions. I mean it sounds simple, but really,
18:57
when you're playing at top level talent in the NFL, I don't care
19:00
if it's the Eagles, I don't care if it's the Chiefs or the Cowboys
19:04
or whoever you want to say. You can't give free possessions to the opposite
19:08
team, and that really can swing the momentum of a game. And you're
19:11
already you know, in Philadelphia, you mentioned the home field advantage. You
19:17
don't want that battle to continue to go uphill. Now, the best thing
19:21
the forty nine Ers can do is take that crowd right out of it as
19:23
soon as possible, you know, go up early and let the Eagles have
19:30
to work their way back, similarly to how they did with the Bills.
19:33
Remember the Eagles are coming off that game against the Chiefs where they had to
19:36
work their way back, coming off the game against the Bills where they're going
19:38
to have to work their way back, focusing on this forty nine Ers game,
19:42
and then of course next week with the Cowboys, which we've already mentioned.
19:47
Just just don't make the job harder than you need it to be,
19:49
you know, take care of the ball. We know that the rock Perriy
19:53
does do that. He's efficient when he passes the ball. Make sure that
19:56
you're getting job, your ball to your playmakers, and just don't turn it
20:00
over. And how do you take the crowd out of it? Folks?
20:03
Big chunk plays. Eagle's been giving up some big chunk plays throughout this season,
20:07
and San Francisco forty nine ers can definitely get some big chunk plays against
20:11
his Eagles defense. So as we're concluding things here, Mike, what's the
20:15
one thing the Eagles are going to need to hit on this week for a
20:18
win against San Francisco forty nine ers. I think you just take advantage of
20:22
the forty nine ers aggressiveness on defense. I think you saw what Buffalo did
20:26
and listen to one other thing I want to say about Buffalo in the Eagles
20:30
game last week. Buffalo was beat up on defense. They had multiple season
20:33
ending injuries. They are not one hundred percent. So I think a guy
20:38
like Fred Warner, I think he's going to be Jalen Hurt's mirror all day.
20:42
Like I think you're just going to make sure that you mirror him Donald,
20:45
allow him to beat you with his feet the way he did against Buffalo,
20:49
and then for the Eagles on offense, just try to take advantage of
20:52
that aggressiveness. You know, we talked about the weaknesses and the secondary,
20:56
you know, try to do some play action passes. Try to you know
21:00
mcinn screen passes with Bosa and the defensive line is getting uphill on you.
21:06
It will then do a draw play. You know, there's I take advantage
21:08
of that defense. We know that they're fast to the ball. We know
21:11
they like to bite early. They want to make sure that you they shut
21:15
down your running attack. They have the pieces to do it. But just
21:18
take advantage of that aggressiveness, and that's how you beat the Cordonninners. All
21:22
right, very good. Before we leave, Mike, I'm gonna shift directions
21:25
a little bit here and ask you about the University of Michigan. I was
21:30
on Fox Sports regular Lehigh Valley recently with you. You asked me to jump
21:33
on. Thank you very much for that. It was a great opportunity to
21:37
spew some some of my pure hatred for the University of Michigan Wolverines. And
21:45
I got to tell you, it's amazing what has happened with this team.
21:48
And something I said on that particular show with you was that, you know,
21:52
I was concerned that the suspension of Harball was really gonna galvanize this team,
21:57
and I think we've certainly seen that. I don't know what are your
22:00
thoughts on where Michigan is at at this point, buddy, because I just
22:03
wanted to ask you. You know, we don't talk too too much Penn
22:06
State on this podcast outside of when you were on at times. So I
22:10
just want to get your take here on this, because I actually have hatred
22:14
in my heart now at this point for the Wolverines. What do you think,
22:18
man, Well, it didn't have it didn't take the cheating scandal to
22:22
have hatred in my heart against Michigan, I'll like, very true. Yeah,
22:25
but yeah, it's leveled up for sure. And listen, I'm also
22:30
trying to take it from an objective standpoint. You know, whether or not
22:36
these things happened in college football, I'm sure they do. My whole thing
22:41
was, you had all this overwhelming evidence, right, and they kept saying
22:45
no, they kept saying, that's that we didn't do that, we didn't
22:48
do that. And then all of a sudden, after all you put all
22:52
that litigation out there, right right, you put it right back because you
22:56
knew that the more that got exposed, the worst that it looked. And
23:00
honestly, it was the right move because if they had continued on that path,
23:04
I really think you're talking about vacation of championships, vacation of wins,
23:10
you know, the Big ten didn't want Michigan to miss the postseason. It
23:12
cost them tons of money. There's not a Big ten in the top ten
23:17
team of the top four, so it's not a perfect system. And I
23:21
just I get frustrated when you try to tell me that I'm wrong when I
23:25
have all this evidence packed up against you and we know that what you did,
23:30
and it just was irritating the whole Jim Harball and the Michigan versus the
23:33
world thing, that's their only option, right, Like that's what they had
23:37
to do, right, But like I can't say that I would change anything
23:41
that they did. It's just the fact that I don't happen to agree with
23:45
it. And it just seems like the cheaters still get away with Murphy here
23:48
and who knows, Iowa can shock the world this weekend, Jeb let's let's
23:52
get out of Iowah to shock the world this week. Let's get that defense
23:56
to kick some butt for sure, right folks. Mike Raymond from Fox Sports

Radio of the Lehigh Valley at Mike Raymond ELVI on the Twitter dot com Mike
24:07
Buddy, it was great to see you come back. Join us. We'll
24:10
talk Penn State, some Big ten forty nine Ers, NFL love talking to
24:15
you man. Come back and join us down the road. Thanks, Jef.
24:18
I know, I know, I know. I had to ask Mike
24:19
about the University of Michigan. He had me on the radio recently, and
24:23
we certainly got into a great, great discussion on air. But when it
24:29
comes to the San Francisco forty nine Ers and Philadelphia Eagles game Week thirteen,
24:34
I mean, I really think it's gonna be a close one. I mean,
24:37
unless somebody gets injured, is gonna be another close game. We have
24:41
been talking this season and early in this Eagles season about how this particular stretch
24:47
of the schedule is going to look like so far, Thus far, the
24:51
Eagles are winning. The Eagles are getting it done, Kansas City, Buffalo,
24:56
They've beaten these top teams in the NFL. If you want to call
25:02
the Buffalo Bill's a top team, I think Mike laid it out pretty well
25:04
in terms of what that particular team has been dealing with this season. But
25:10
they played the Eagles tough and the Eagles ended up coming out on top.
25:12
So how is that going to translate into this particular game, this NFC Championship
25:19
rematch from last year. It really is going to be, I think,
25:22
a great game to watch, and we're going to be discussing the aftermath here
