  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome into this edition of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to check O Delhi.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: It's Andrew de Checo, Eagles beat reporter for Inside the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Birds dot Com, and the Eagles and the Fridgid Confines
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of lambeau Field outlast the Packers team that shows some
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: signs of life late. They secure a ten to seven
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: win and approved the seven to two on the season
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: with a primetime home matchup with the Detroit Lions looming.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: It wasn't aesthetically pleasing but the Eagle at least from
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: an offensive standpoint, but the Eagles were able to make
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: enough plays to put the Packers away and close things
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: out late in this game. There was a lot of
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: head scratching plays and decision making in this game. There's
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: a ton to unpack, but let's get to the numbers here.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts completed a fifth teen of twenty three pass
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: attempts for one hundred and eighty three yards and a touchdown,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and he added another twenty seven yards on the ground.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Running Back Saquon Barkley carried twenty two times for sixty yards,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and wide receiver DeVante Smith led all Eagles pass catchers
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: with sixty nine yards and a touchdown on four catches
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and seven targets. On defense, the Eagles recorded three sacks
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: belonging to jay loox Hunt, Na Kobe Dean and Nolan Smith.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Tremendous debut for newly acquired pass rusher Jalen Phillips, who
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: had a fumble recovery. He had six tackles in the game,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: won for loss, two quarterback hits, probably four or five
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: pressures in that game, and he was an absolute force
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: against the run, showcasing his physicality his length. That was
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: a huge addition for the Eagles, And I said it
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: when they acquired him, it wasn't hyperbole then. It's certainly
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: not hyperbole now that I feel like that is the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: missing piece that this team needs to.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Push them over the hump here.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: If they're able to stay healthy, You're going to start
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to see a team that has all of the necessary
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: ingredients to make that push to Santa Clara. The Eagles
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: may not say it, but I'll say it, and I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: think you see the ability for the Eagles to win
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: a game, whether it's ugly or they can win pretty
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: like they did against the Giants. It does not matter
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to them as long as they come out with a win.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: There's plenty of things to improve upon. DeVante Smith said
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: as much after the game when he was talking to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Scott Van Pelt, and the Eagles are never satisfied and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that is a lethal combination for a team that knows
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: how to win ugly, knows how to win in those
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: type of alley fights, but they're also not satisfied and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: they know what they need to do to turn it
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: up and play to their standard. So let's look at
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: some of the some of the notes in this game.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Inactive for the Eagles quarterback Sam Holli, who's the third quarterback,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: cornerback Jay or Alexander, cornerback macmcon Williams, running back AJ Dillon,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: center Cam Jurgens, and defensive tackle Ty Robinson. Hours before kickoff,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the Eagles activate outside linebacker Nolan Smith from injured reserve
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and elevated outside linebacker Patrick Johnson from the practice squad.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Johnson has one remaining elevation. The way the game opened
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: was interesting because after much discussion and deliberation this week,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it was Quinn, it was Dori Jackson who started opposite
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Quinn now Mitchell in this game, and he logged his
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: fourth start of the season.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He was involved in the game's first two plays.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He teamed with a bunch of his teammates to bring
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: down Packer's running back Josh Jacobs for a gain of
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: five and then on the next play he failed a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: corral Josh Jacobs on a catch and run along the sideline.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: They gained six yards.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Starting at linebacker was fourth year pro Nikobe Dean. He
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: was alongside Zach Bond, but the Eagles still found a
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: way to incorporate Jahad Campbell in the mix in that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: opening series as an edge usher. In fact, the starters
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: were Jalen Phillips and Nolan Smith and the second wave
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: was Jehad Campbell and Jay Looks Hunt more on him
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: in a moment. But it's interesting in the sense that
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Nolan Smith and Jalen Phillips were two players that the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Eagles did not have fourteen fifteen days ago when they
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: last played against the Giants, and you can see the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: noticeable impact that they had. Even Brandon Graham Love six
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: or seven snaps in this game. When the official snap
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: total comes out tomorrow morning, I'm intrigued to see how
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the Eagles officially allocated the snaps. But I thought that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: vic Vangio had a sound plan of attack to deploy
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: all of his edge rushers. I don't know that I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: saw josh Yusche on the field all that much, but
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: there was about a four player rotation that he was
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: sending waves of pass rushers at Jordan Love and Jordan Love,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the Green Bay quarterback did not look particularly comfortable in
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the pocket for the duration of the game.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: He looked to have happy feet.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: He was a little hesitant to pull the trigger, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I thought that that really revealed itself for much of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the game. He seemed to settle in a little bit
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, but that Eagles pass rush alleviated
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a ton of pressure on the back end, which is
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: something that I've been talking about and why personally I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: prioritize edge rusher at the trade deadline. You didn't hear
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Doris Jackson's name mentioned all that much. You didn't see
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a young secondary which includes rookie safety Drew mccouba fall
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: victim to a veteran quarterback and a offensive play caller
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: in Matt Lafleur, who have ways of really manipulating young
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and taking advantage of younger players. And for someone like
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a Dori Jackson, who is not a younger player, someone
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: who hasn't necessarily he's been up and down this season.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: But as I mentioned, the Eagles wasted little time getting
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Jahaed Campbell and Jay looks Hunt in the mix. On
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that first drive, j loox Hunt completely ruins the Packers'
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: first drive with that eleven yard sad and.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: The stats may not show it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And I know that we live in a world of stats,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: but I've always been one to delve beyond the stats
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and what are your eyes telling you?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And the eye test tells you that jay.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Loox Hunt has been playing good football all season long,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and now he's starting to get the stats to back
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that up. But he seems to have settled into a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: role that I think he's more ideally suited, that third
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: edge rusher role, keeping him fresh, he's good against the run,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: he plays with a ton of energy, and the Eagles
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: have all of a sudden, least seemingly an embarrassment of
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: riches at the edge rusher position, which was hardly a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: position of strength going into the trade deadline. From an
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: offensive perspective, the bye week does seem to have aided
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Kevin Patullo and conjuring some new ideas in terms of personnel.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: For example, the Eagles on the first offensive series incorporated
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: all three running backs, those being Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and Will Shipley. And Shipley, who entered the game having
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: touched the ball just nine times in six games, touched
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the ball twice on the opening series. The first occurred
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: on a third and ten where Will snared an eleven
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: yard reception along the sideline to keep the drive alive,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and the next game on a second and three, when
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Will carried for four yards. It's possible that his involvement
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: in this game plan could be game specific, but it
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: is interesting to see the backfield variation that we were
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: all expecting throughout the first eight games. Something to keep
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: an eye on. But Will was involved throughout the game,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and he really has been a sporadic player within the offense.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're going to start to change things up and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: get different players involved on a more situational basis.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But Will has a lot to offer as a pass catcher.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And I think that you see that two catches for
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: seventeen yards in this game. The Jalen Hurts first quarter
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: fumble on the opening drive was just the team's fourth
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: turnover of season. Notably, that possession covered seventy seven yards
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: over sixteen plays, but then the remaining four first half
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: drives when is followed three plays three yards, punt, three
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: plays eight yards, punt, five plays seven yards, punt, four
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: plays six yards, turnover on downs and a half. And
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: in regards to Jalen Hurts and his performance today, aside
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: from the thirty six yard touchdown to Devonte Smith, I
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: thought Jalen was a little bit uneven in this one.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: There was the red zone fumble, which we just talked about, sure,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: but he was also off target on a handful of
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: throws and I think the most prominent being the deep
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: heave to tight end Grant Calcatara that likely would have
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: yielded a touchdown. Instead, it was rendered incomplete despite Calkatara's
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: diving attempts. Still, Hurts was efficient enough on this night,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: helping the Eagles to improve the seven and two. Maybe
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: it was the self inflicted wounds in frigid conditions that
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: played a part in this, but the Eagles seemed re
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: lucky and to open things up offensively, particularly on some
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: third and longs, but even in their red zone offense,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: which I've lauded for Kevin Bittullo's creativity and innovation and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: just their aggressiveness. It didn't exactly push the envelope in
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: this game. I would have liked to have seen the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Eagles elicit more of a conscious effort to push the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: ball down the field, but that wasn't the case in
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: this one. Again, it wasn't aesthetically pleasing, but they made
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: enough plays offensively to complement what the defense was able
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to do in shutting down the Green Bay offense. It
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: was evidence early on in this game, and it definitely
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: showed on the television, and I'm sure it looked to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: be that way, you know if you were there at
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the game. But the Eagles struggled with their footing specifically
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: on offense, and I think back to the opening drive
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: when it was a first and tent on the twenty six,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Cam Lattu and Darius Cooper slipped on a play that
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: resulted in a Hurtz throwaway. And on the second drive,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: left tackle Jordan Malata and Saquon Barkley, who was unable
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to stick his foot in the ground and cut. They
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: struggle with traction issues on that second drive. And speaking
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: of my Lotta, he was tagged with two first half
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: penalties to false starts. But I think that the traction
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: really impacted the offense, especially early. I didn't notice it
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: as much later in the game, but it was something
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: to note, and that's why I made that observation in
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: my postgame notes.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's Jeff Mosher, and if you have a family
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: and kids at home, like me, you always want them
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: to be fully protected. That's why I'm thrilled to be
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: a simply Safe customer. In our house is equipped with
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: the most technologically advanced alarm system you can get. If
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: you could actually stop someone from breaking into your home
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: before they got inside, why wouldn't you. Traditional security systems
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: only react after a break in, but simply Safe is
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: different because it stops crimes before they happen. With active
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: guard outdoor protection, they're AI powered cameras detect threats while
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: they're still outside your home, and they alert real security agents.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: These agents take action while the intruder is still outside
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: and confront the intruder to let them know they're being
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: watched on camera and police is on the way. And
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: that's how you stop a crime before it's committed. There's

• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Philly fans, game day is stressful enough. Parking, traffic, long lines,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: We've all been there, But when it comes to your cannabis,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Camden Apothecary makes it easy. This is the dispensary for
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: sports fans, just minutes outside of Philly, with plenty of
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: free parking.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You'll be in and.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Out fast, no hassle, no waiting, and they don't just
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: care about convenience. Cam din Apothecary is all about the
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: guest experience. Their staff makes sure you feel taken care
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: of every time you walk in. Plus they carry only
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the best quality cannabis at the fairest prices. So whether
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: you're stocking up for the tailgate, the watch party, or
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: celebrating a big win, you know you're getting the good
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: stuff without overpaying. They even show love to the community
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: with specials for fans, students, service members, and healthcare pros.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Cam Den Apothecary top quality cannabis, great prices, and an
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: experience made for Philly fans twenty one and up.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: But I would also say this, looking at the offensive line,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: apart from the first half holding penalty, I thought Brett Hoath,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: who was making a second career start at center in
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: place with an injured Cam Jurgens, performed admirably at center.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: The seventh year pro held firm at the point of attack,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and he again showed case athleticism in climbing to the
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: second level. He also appeared comfortable at the controls, much
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: like he did the last time the Eagles played in
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Week eight against the Giants. So the Eagles lost right
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: tackle Lane Johnson for much of the game with the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: ankle injury, and that put Fred Johnson into service as
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: his replacement. But in recent weeks Fred Johnson, if you remember,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: has served a role in the jumbo package, but that
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: didn't preclude the Eagles from continuing to implement an extra
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman, and that player was Matt Pryor, who fulfilled
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: that job description, but of course Lane Johnson returned to
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: action late in the game.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Lane Johnson, I can't say enough about him.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: He's tough as nails, so is Landon Dickerson, the entire
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: offensive line, and I think Lane Johnson really embodies what
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: they're all about. I like the qualities that Xavier Gibson
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: brings in the return game. He you know, he's decisive,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: he's explosive.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And he has dynamic qualities.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: And back in we Gate, he picked up a seventeen
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: yard return. That was his first game taking over for
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Johan Dotson, who, if you remember, was elevated to a
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: starting role, a more.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Prominent role with aj Brown out of the lineup.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: And for perspective, Johan Dotson through seven games accounted for
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: forty eight yards on five returns and he had a
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: long of fifteen, So you can see.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: The impact that that Gibson had.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: He had eighteen yards on his first one, thirteen yards
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: on the second one, and he fair caught the first one.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So he's a young player that I think is going
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to continue to grow and improve.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: But it seems like the Eagles have.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Something there in Gibson, who just has a little bit
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: more juice as a returner.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Some end of the game numbers.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: The Eagles were flagged seven times for sixty one yards.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: The offense finished seven of sixteen that's forty four percent
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: on third down, and the defense held the Packers to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: five of thirteen thirty eight percent on third down. The
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: team ran sixty offensive plays. The story in this game
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: was the defense. They flowed to the football. They played
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: it with an aggressive mindset. They were not impacted by
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the weather, nor did I expect them to be. Knowing
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the mentality and the resolve of this Eagles team, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: you can see that the attitude and the swagger that
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the defense has, and I think a lot of that
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: some of it has to do with the insertion of
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: d Kobe Denett, linebacker really effective against the run. Made
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the second play of the game, tack one Josh Jacobs.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: He got a sack which was to force and enforce
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: the fumble from Jordan Love which was recovered by Jaywen
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Phillips and Ree blankshep got their fumble recovery late in
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: the game on Josh Jacobs on the fourth down play.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: But the juice that he brings the leadership that can't
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: be I don't.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Think that I'm overstating it at all.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And he is that heartbeat that the defense needs, and
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the Eagles are finding a to incorporate both Dean and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Jahad Campbell into the defensive plans. Dean's certainly somebody that
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the Eagles weren't there, especially on obvious rundown situations.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: He's a thumper.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: He's also fundamentally sound and highly intelligent. But there's also
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: roles for Jahad Campbell. He's athletic, he has the length,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: he can cover tight ends and running backs, and he
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: just covers a lot of ground and he's continuing to
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: develop as a player. I've said this many times, but
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: every week he makes tangible strides as an off ball linebacker,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: and they're even giving him opportunities to rush the passer.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: They're doing whatever they can to get him in the.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Mix in some capacity, and they should. The secondary was
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: not victimized all that much in this game. In fact,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: they were able. I thought they did a really nice
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: job against Jordan Love. I was expecting to see Dori
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Jackson targeted a little bit more. A Dory answered the
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: bell in this game, and that was a question. And
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I go back to the open here that we all
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: had going into it. I was of the belief that
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: it was going to be Keiley Ringo going back to
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the starting role, considering he performed pretty well against the Giants.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: He's a young player, and I.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Thought the Eagles were going to continue to build on
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: that to better assess where Keeley is. I think they
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: have an idea of who he is, but I thought
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: if it were kind of up in the air, the
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Eagles would defer to the younger player in Ringo. But
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: at Dori Jackson's obviously the preference for Vic Vangio. We've
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: seen that at multiple points this season, and he was
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: ultimately the player who yielded the start.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't notice much from Michael Carter.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I'll have to go back and look at the snaps
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: in this game, but he was active, he was available,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: and that's something that I will be monitoring in the morning,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: just to get a sense worth how much in what capacity.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Some of the new additions played in this game. Good
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: pressure up the middle from the defensive line. Moro Jomo
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: had a couple of really good rushes. He is uniquely built,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and he's powerful, and he has really long arms and
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: he makes it a considerable challenge for opposing guards to
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: get a hand on him, and I think that that
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: really manifested on a couple of situations in this game.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: He is such a good, complimentary piece of this defensive
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: line and he's carried over his summer throughout the season,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: and there's many moments in this season that you can
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: look back on late game situations, not necessarily in this game,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: but late game situations where Jomo has come through with
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: a big sack. But in this one, I noticed that
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: there were some good rushes that he had in this game.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: And jay loox Hunt, again, the stats don't always tell
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the whole story. He has just two sacks on the year,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: but he is a player who I've seen improve on
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: a week to week basis. Vic Vangio remains high on
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: jay loox Hunt and now he's in a role where
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be even more fresh and
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: for you know, when you look at down the stretch
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: here and what that could mean, you get player who's
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: starting to stack some productive games, at least in the
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: stack column, and he's a force against the run and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: he brings a lot of energy on the field, and
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: you compliment that with what the Eagles have from now
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: a healthy Nolan Smith and a new addition in Jalen Phillips. Yeah,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I think they have a really good mix there at
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: pass rusher now, and so all of a sudden that
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: changes the whole complexion of the defense.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: From an offensive perspective, it left a lot to be desired.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I thought that there were opportunities for Jaywen Hurts to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: connect with some of his pass catchers. There were some
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: off target throws AJ Brown, Yeah.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got to get him more involved.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: There's there's really no reason the Packers were vulnerable on
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the corners in Keyshawn Nixon and Carrington Valentine. Valentine had
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: a couple of nice plays and coverage, but I think
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the ball could have been placed in a better spot.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Again, this is upon first watch.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I will go back, as I always do, and watch
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: the game two where three times.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean there were moments where.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I thought that they could have thrown it deep to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: AJ and let him give him that opportunity to win
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: in those contested cat situations where those fifty to fifty
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: balls become.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Seventy thirty.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe with Aj out there, But I wanted to see
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the Eagles be more aggressive in this game, and they weren't.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: They were more aggressive against the Giants and even against
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the Vikings, but we'll see if that was just the way,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: you know, the personality of the game and the way
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that you know, everything sort.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Of shook out.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: But you know, it was something that you would like
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: to see, especially when the game was sort of hanging
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: in the balance.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: There for a.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Great bid for the large portion of the game, you
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: would like to see the Eagles at least throw it
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: up there for aj and stretch the team, stretch the
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Packers' secondary out and respect the fact that they were
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: willing to do it. And for Kevin Petullo, who I
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: thought really had a nice outing against the Vikings and
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: an exception against the Giants, I thought he took a
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: little bit of a step back. I don't want to
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: be too strong in my assessment here because there are
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: other factors that likely contributed to it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of self.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Inflicted wounds from the Eagles, but there are also some
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: bright moments from Patullo as well. And I go back
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: to the execution piece. When the plays are there to
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: be made, you have to execute. That completely changes the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: whole outlook on the offense and their output of the
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: evening if some of those players are able to be
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: connected or converted on. But I thought all in all,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the Eagles have proven time and time again that they
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: can win any which way. They're a team that the
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: opponents aren't going to want to see. They're building momentum,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: they're getting healthy. We'll see what happens with Cam Jurgens
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: down the line here. And I should also mention that
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Jacorey and Bennett was not activated off injury reserve for
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: this game. His twenty one day practice window expires Wednesday,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: so the Eagles will have to make a swift decision
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: if they want to incorporate him onto the fifty three.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: If it expires, he's on the shelf for the remainder
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: of the season on injured reserve, So something to keep
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: an eye on there.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Hey, I still like a good night out, but I'm

  Speaker 2: And also Willie Lampkin, the Eagles rookie offensive lineman, was
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: not activated from injury reserve either.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Wasn't really expecting that one.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I was curious about Bennett knowing that his time his
• 23:47

• 23:50
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. There's never a dull moment here in

  Speaker 2: There's a lot of news on the way, a lot
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: of layers of the onion to peel back with this game.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: But these are my immediate thoughts, and I'm sure to
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: have other thoughts from this game and other takeaways as
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I go back and rewatch it. But you know, moments
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: after the game, this is kind of where I land
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: on a lot of things, and I'm curious to hear
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: where you all land on how this game played out.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: But it's hard to argue. With a win, a hard
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: fought win.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: The Eagles improved the seven to two, and they now
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: prepare to take on the Detroit Lions at home on
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: a slightly shortened week at Lincoln Financial Field.
• 24:27
