0:25
Speaker 1: Table Podcast Show, the longest-running weekly Philly sports podcast show
0:28
Speaker 1: in the world, over 13 1⁄2 years strong. The lack
0:34
Speaker 1: of a season, it seems at this point. I should
0:36
Speaker 1: say week five of this Philadelphia Eagles 2026-2027 season was
0:42
Speaker 1: just an absolute dumpster fire as they lose to the
0:45
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars over in England by a score of 19-17.
0:49
Speaker 1: The Eagles are now 2-3. on the season having lost
0:53
Speaker 1: their last three games in a row I'm Jeff Warren
0:57
Speaker 1: and I'm here with my buddy filling in for the
1:00
Speaker 1: guys again always appreciate him taking the time from the

1:11
Speaker 1: Rogers buddy first and foremost thanks so much for joining
1:14
Speaker 1: us here and filling in but man it's it it's
1:16
Speaker 1: getting real tough to talk about this team after these
1:18
Speaker 1: after these three losses in a row.
1:20
Speaker 2: Man It's like Groundhog Day. I mean, it's like the
1:23
Speaker 2: same shit.
1:24
Speaker 3: I mean, every time we come on and we have
1:27
Speaker 3: one of these, all the Eagles games really look the same.
1:30
Speaker 2: I mean, all these games are one possession games.
1:34
Speaker 3: Whether you win the game or lose the game, they
1:36
Speaker 3: all kind of look like shit. And it's like, okay, well...
1:40
Speaker 3: you know, did we get the win or not? At
1:41
Speaker 3: least we got the win, but we don't get the,
1:43
Speaker 3: at least we got.
1:44
Speaker 2: The way today.
1:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
1:45
Speaker 2: We get this.
1:46
Speaker 3: One of the most embarrassing up and down rollercoaster law smoke.
1:51
Speaker 2: I've seen the Eagles get their teeth kicked in. I've
1:54
Speaker 2: seen the Eagles get their teeth kicked in by the Cowboys.
1:57
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've seen, had such an up
1:59
Speaker 3: and down moment, like to see Jake just hammer that
2:03
Speaker 3: he's back.
2:04
Speaker 2: We're back after all this with all the guys. And
2:07
Speaker 2: then the, Sirianni just pisses it away.
2:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely. It's incredible, Jeff.
2:12
Speaker 1: Sirianni and Mannion as well. Look, first two games of
2:15
Speaker 1: the season, Philadelphia Eagles scored 24 points in those games.
2:19
Speaker 1: In the NFL, you can score 24 points and win games.
2:23
Speaker 4: It is possible.
2:24
Speaker 1: Against the Bears, they scored seven points. Against the Rams,
2:27
Speaker 1: they scored 20 points. And against the Jaguars, only scoring
2:30
Speaker 1: 17 points. It is not possible. sustainable the way that
2:34
Speaker 1: this offense is continuing to perform and yes there are
2:38
Speaker 1: so many challenges as we do know there are so
2:41
Speaker 1: many challenges as we know let's let's just go down
2:44
Speaker 1: those challenges really quick because coming into the game wide
2:48
Speaker 1: receiver Hollywood Brown out with an ankle injury Devontae Smith
2:51
Speaker 1: as we know still nursing a hamstring injury Saquon Barkley
2:54
Speaker 1: was out. Tank Bigsby was out. Marcus Epps still out
2:58
Speaker 1: as well. Jonathan Grenard is out with an ankle injury
3:02
Speaker 1: and new center Drew Kendall out with a knee injury.
3:05
Speaker 1: Now during this game, folks, there were still a lot
3:09
Speaker 1: of injuries that actually ended up happening. And it just
3:12
Speaker 1: didn't surprise me at all, Matt, because I'm like, of
3:15
Speaker 1: course this is happening to this team. Will Shipley going
3:17
Speaker 1: out with a foot injury before the half. Not that
3:20
Speaker 1: he was doing anything great before that, but Yes, he
3:22
Speaker 1: did score a touchdown. However, we're going to get to
3:25
Speaker 1: the rushing yards in just a bit. Jalex Hunt went
3:27
Speaker 1: out with a leg injury right before the half as well.
3:30
Speaker 1: That looked really bad. I can't imagine he's going to
3:32
Speaker 1: be coming back anytime soon after looking at that injury.
3:35
Speaker 1: Tyler Steen went out with an injury in the third quarter.
3:37
Speaker 1: Fred Johnson came in for him. Steen did come back
3:40
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. But this is a team riddled
3:42
Speaker 1: with injuries. You have an offensive line. We had a
3:45
Speaker 1: gentleman retire this week who was starting and one of
3:47
Speaker 1: the best in the game, and also a trade that
3:50
Speaker 1: happened with an offensive lineman.
3:52
Speaker 4: I think to myself, okay, should we have expected this?
3:56
Speaker 1: But then again, the Eagles' depth on the offensive line
3:59
Speaker 1: is not terrible by any stretch. It could be a
4:01
Speaker 1: lot worse, as it is for a lot of other
4:04
Speaker 1: teams as well, but the injury bug certainly hasn't helped
4:07
Speaker 1: this team out here, Matt.
4:08
Speaker 4: It hasn't. That's a theme here.
4:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they... You know, they don't have much further.
4:15
Speaker 3: They were they're lucky, as you said, to be able
4:17
Speaker 3: to bring in the guys that they can bring in.
4:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
4:20
Speaker 2: Lampkin even today bringing in Big Fred. Great.
4:24
Speaker 3: But if you if this if this trend continues, they
4:27
Speaker 3: need to reverse this trend. And this whole strategy of
4:32
Speaker 3: not playing people much in the preseason, et cetera, it
4:36
Speaker 3: has shown a lot of success in previous years. Yeah.
4:39
Speaker 2: The success is, is, is limited this year.
4:42
Speaker 3: I mean, of the big guys, you know, number one
4:45
Speaker 3: is the, is the only one of those that's really
4:48
Speaker 3: this year, not as a result, not dealing with injuries.
4:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.
4:52
Speaker 1: Look, we're going to get to special teams a little
4:54
Speaker 1: further along here because special teams were extremely, extremely good
5:00
Speaker 1: today in many ways. And then they ended up stinking
5:02
Speaker 1: it up at the end of the game, which ended
5:04
Speaker 1: up costing the Eagles this game.
5:06
Speaker 4: However, we just want to state out right out, right
5:08
Speaker 4: out of the gate.
5:09
Speaker 1: And it got this feeling going through my body of, okay,
5:13
Speaker 1: this may not go too well when.
5:15
Speaker 4: Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
5:17
Speaker 1: Got ejected from the game on the opening kickoff, along
5:19
Speaker 1: with Brian Thomas Jr. from the Jaguars as well, with
5:22
Speaker 1: a scuffle that they had. Just a terrible way to
5:25
Speaker 1: start the game. A terrible way to get that positive
5:28
Speaker 1: energy flowing. And even though there were a ton of
5:31
Speaker 1: penalties on that opening kickoff, Jacksonville ended up scoring a
5:34
Speaker 1: touchdown on the actual kickoff that was negated. A horrendous
5:40
Speaker 1: way to start this game. It's just, it set the
5:43
Speaker 1: tone in terms of the energy, Matt. Yeah. Yeah.
5:51
Speaker 3: I still, at the end of the day with the, the,
5:54
Speaker 3: the injuries, the way that they're riddled with injuries, they
5:57
Speaker 3: really cannot run the ball right now.
6:00
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a theme.
6:02
Speaker 3: I just don't, I really don't know what they're going
6:05
Speaker 3: to be able to do with that. I mean, Damien
6:07
Speaker 3: Pierce had okay moments. He also had just stone cold drops.
6:11
Speaker 4: Yeah.
6:12
Speaker 3: He was in there and important moments, the ball going
6:14
Speaker 3: right through his hands. He's clearly I mean, he's a
6:18
Speaker 3: strong guy. Didn't have ball security issues today.
6:21
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:24
Speaker 3: You know, as far I mean, Shipley goes out early on.
6:27
Speaker 3: And I mean, how much this is another thing. I mean,
6:30
Speaker 3: like how much further can you go? I mean, you're
6:33
Speaker 3: not going to cut these guys. You can't cut these guys.
6:36
Speaker 2: So no.
6:37
Speaker 1: So you can't get any worse either, because at the
6:39
Speaker 1: end of the day, there were 18 rushes for 22 yards, Matt. 1.2
6:46
Speaker 1: yards per rush on the day. I can't remember a
6:52
Speaker 1: time when a Philadelphia Eagles running back room, along with
6:56
Speaker 1: a quarterback as well, who is known for getting some
7:00
Speaker 1: yards with his legs, put up that poor of numbers.
7:04
Speaker 1: I mean, that is piss poor, what we witnessed today
7:07
Speaker 1: in terms of the run game.
7:09
Speaker 4: Again, yes, offensive line injured.
7:11
Speaker 1: But this is on coaching as well because how many
7:15
Speaker 1: other teams in this league over many, many years have
7:19
Speaker 1: had the trials and tribulations of injured offensive linemen and
7:23
Speaker 1: then injured running backs as well and are still able
7:26
Speaker 1: to produce more than 22 yards in a game of rushing?
7:30
Speaker 4: It was absolutely pathetic.
7:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much a completely anemic rushing offense. relatively anemic
7:40
Speaker 3: passing offense as well. I mean, in spurts, I'm seeing
7:43
Speaker 3: more intermediate stuff. That's another good theme. I'm starting to
7:47
Speaker 3: see some blends of that. If you wanted to get
7:50
Speaker 3: in themes, what.
7:51
Speaker 1: Do you want to do here, Jeff? Yeah, I mean,
7:52
Speaker 1: we can get into it. I mean, that's a positive theme.
7:55
Speaker 1: If you want to go down that route, that's a
7:57
Speaker 1: positive theme. But that's going to then correlate, and I'm
8:01
Speaker 1: going to do a 180 on it because of something
8:04
Speaker 1: that actually correlates with that.
8:06
Speaker 4: So go ahead with this one.
8:09
Speaker 3: I think I am starting to see it's not just
8:12
Speaker 3: deep ball or check down. A lot of what you've
8:15
Speaker 3: seen from the Eagles over this era of Eagles football
8:20
Speaker 3: is deep ball or check down. And you know, a
8:23
Speaker 3: lot of the discussion is about, you know, Jalen hitting
8:25
Speaker 3: more of those intermediate, you know, seven to 15, seven
8:29
Speaker 3: to 20 routes. There were a lot of these and
8:32
Speaker 3: he's starting to hit a lot of those on the sidelines,
8:34
Speaker 3: et cetera. So that is a, a positive thing that
8:38
Speaker 3: I'm starting to see from Sirianni slash Manion. I'm going
8:42
Speaker 3: to put Sirianni. He's still in the driver's seat. If you,
8:45
Speaker 3: if you didn't tell me that they have ever changed
8:48
Speaker 3: the play callers, I wouldn't know. It looks very similar
8:52
Speaker 3: all the time. They're doing a lot more under center.
8:54
Speaker 3: But this is the Sirianni offense. I'm not going to
8:57
Speaker 3: disrespect Sean Manning completely and act like he's getting to
9:00
Speaker 3: drive this car.
9:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
9:03
Speaker 1: Look, where I wanted to go with this particular topic,
9:07
Speaker 1: it's really interesting you mentioned this theme because there is
9:09
Speaker 1: a 180 to this. Yes, I think we're seeing more
9:13
Speaker 1: productive cars. intermediate routes being run and Jalen is getting them,
9:18
Speaker 1: but it's not when they actually need them, in my opinion.
9:22
Speaker 1: And what I'm talking about is why are you still
9:25
Speaker 1: running on first down when I just read off the
9:28
Speaker 1: stats that I just read off in terms of the
9:30
Speaker 1: rush in this game? I mean, when your lead back
9:35
Speaker 1: gets injured after five carries and he was only averaging 1.2
9:39
Speaker 1: yards per carry and then your backup running back And
9:43
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce was only averaging 1.3 yards per rush. Why
9:47
Speaker 1: are you continuing to do this? The lack of all
9:52
Speaker 1: I want, Matt, and this this sounds this sounds pathetic.
9:55
Speaker 1: Me begging for this right now because the Eagles came
9:57
Speaker 1: into this game leading the NFL.
10:00
Speaker 4: In three and outs.
10:01
Speaker 1: And for once, I would love to see the offense
10:04
Speaker 1: just get maybe six yards on first down. Actually, I'll
10:08
Speaker 1: take five yards on first down. They cannot get chunk
10:13
Speaker 1: plays on first down.
10:15
Speaker 4: It's amazing. It's absolutely incredible.
10:18
Speaker 2: I would love to see.
10:19
Speaker 3: I would love to see– and you see it in
10:21
Speaker 3: some times, especially when defenses are heating them up.
10:25
Speaker 2: They go to empty.
10:26
Speaker 3: I would love to see first drive of the game
10:29
Speaker 3: come out and empty and just start getting those– if
10:34
Speaker 3: you want to do short intermediate stuff to Makai Lemon
10:37
Speaker 3: in that, then it's fine because the defense is all
10:39
Speaker 3: spread out.
10:40
Speaker 2: But you bring everybody tight.
10:42
Speaker 3: You run these like– you just don't have the personnel
10:45
Speaker 3: to be doing all that. So I think– Yeah, when
10:49
Speaker 3: they're running it. Also, when I speak about Mikhail, I mean,
10:51
Speaker 3: I got to bring up that fourth down. I mean,
10:54
Speaker 3: the solo just running a slant route. How the hell
10:58
Speaker 3: was that.
10:58
Speaker 2: The call there?
10:59
Speaker 4: Exactly. How the hell was that? Yes. That's coaching call
11:03
Speaker 4: right there. What the hell was that? My gosh.
11:07
Speaker 1: Getting away from things that work as well is another
11:11
Speaker 1: theme because we ended up seeing productive third down conversions
11:16
Speaker 1: in the first half of this game. I mean, the
11:18
Speaker 1: Eagles first touchdown in the second quarter was the first
11:21
Speaker 1: time actually the Jaguars defense gave up a touchdown in
11:24
Speaker 1: the first half all season. I mean, it was what
11:27
Speaker 1: a drive by the offense. I was thinking to myself,
11:29
Speaker 1: Oh wow, maybe they do have something here. A nice,
11:32
Speaker 1: nice 13 play 64 yard touchdown. touchdown drive that ended
11:37
Speaker 1: up tying the game at seven to seven. Jalen hurts
11:40
Speaker 1: made some really nice throws on that drive. But, but
11:44
Speaker 1: like the main point though, Matt is that the offense
11:47
Speaker 1: converted more third downs on that touchdown drive than they
11:51
Speaker 1: did in their past two games combined, which was only two,
11:54
Speaker 1: you know? So, and then we get to the, again,
11:58
Speaker 1: tail still a theme folks, still a theme week after week.
12:02
Speaker 1: Then we get to the second half, third quarter, And
12:06
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter, it is a tale of two halves.
12:10
Speaker 4: They could not sustain drives. Way too many three and outs.
12:14
Speaker 1: Their last four drives prior to the drive where Jake
12:18
Speaker 1: Elliott was able to make that field goal in the
12:20
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, 15 plays, 10 yards, four punts. Going three
12:25
Speaker 1: and out. It's just four three and outs in a row.
12:31
Speaker 1: It's mind-boggling.
12:33
Speaker 2: The coaching. Like, how is it possible?
12:36
Speaker 4: Yes.
12:36
Speaker 3: Like, how is it possible for you to run 15 plays?
12:41
Speaker 1: Yes.
12:41
Speaker 2: And get 10 yards.
12:43
Speaker 1: Yes. And yes, sometimes the execution wasn't there. Sometimes the
12:46
Speaker 1: execution wasn't there. But when you have a third and eight,
12:50
Speaker 1: a third and 10. And you are throwing five yards behind.
12:55
Speaker 1: Like the call is you got it. You got to
12:57
Speaker 1: throw the ball jail and five yards behind the first
13:00
Speaker 1: down marker.
13:00
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me with this Jaguars defense? Pretty good defense.
13:04
Speaker 4: It's just the coaching is mind boggling at this point here. I.
13:08
Speaker 2: I, I got a negative theme.
13:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.
13:10
Speaker 2: I'm starting to get pissed off.
13:11
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:12
Speaker 3: The second week in the row, second week in a
13:14
Speaker 3: row that this Philadelphia Eagles defense with the injuries and
13:18
Speaker 3: the turnover and the, Pretty poor play at safety. I
13:23
Speaker 3: like Makuba. He is going to be a decent player.
13:27
Speaker 3: But overall, the safety play has not been good. But
13:29
Speaker 3: they've been doing an amazing job against two top-tier offenses.
13:34
Speaker 3: And then Nick Sirianni finds a way to put them
13:37
Speaker 3: in a position where they've been bending all day. And
13:42
Speaker 3: Sirianni's breaking the freaking defense. Jalen Carter played... Forget Aaron Donald.
13:49
Speaker 3: Even if Aaron Donald comes... Even if he comes back,
13:52
Speaker 3: what we saw from Jalen Carter today is one of
13:54
Speaker 3: the best defensive tackle performances I've seen.
13:57
Speaker 2: I mean, he was ridiculous today.
14:00
Speaker 4: Yes. And we lost. Yes.
14:01
Speaker 1: He looked like Jalen Carter 2024 style. But you are
14:06
Speaker 1: absolutely right when it comes to this defense. I'm thinking
14:09
Speaker 1: to myself, what an incredible defensive effort to keep the
14:11
Speaker 1: Jaguars from scoring at the one yard line right before
14:15
Speaker 1: the half.
14:16
Speaker 4: Four plays the Jags ran. Four plays at the one-yard line.
14:19
Speaker 1: And this Eagles defense stopped this high-powered Jaguars offense. And
14:25
Speaker 1: then you're going to come out in the second half
14:28
Speaker 1: offense and look like complete dog shit?
14:30
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?
14:31
Speaker 1: To take the energy and the spark that the defense
14:34
Speaker 1: gave you right before the half and just completely crush it.
14:38
Speaker 4: Just completely crush it. That's what happened. That's what occurred.
14:42
Speaker 2: This offense is a three-and-out machine.
14:44
Speaker 3: It is.
14:46
Speaker 2: And I don't– it's crazy.
14:49
Speaker 3: I mean, I get that you have the injuries that
14:52
Speaker 3: you have. That's true, and that mitigates to a degree.
14:56
Speaker 3: But we were a three-and-out machine with all the tools. Yes.
15:01
Speaker 2: So it's not the tools. There's something– Something's wrong right now.
15:06
Speaker 1: Schematically also. The patient is sick. Yes, very sick. I mean,
15:11
Speaker 1: it's even more than the flu at this point, I think.
15:14
Speaker 1: Because if you notice, every time a bootleg is called,
15:19
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is running for his life because there's a
15:21
Speaker 1: defender that's not blocked.
15:22
Speaker 4: That's scheming. That's coaching right there.
15:25
Speaker 1: That's knowing and understanding the quote, putting your players in
15:30
Speaker 1: a good place to succeed or even not succeed. in
15:34
Speaker 1: that case. It's just, Oh my gosh. Again, same themes folks.
15:39
Speaker 1: And I know it may sound like a broken record here,
15:41
Speaker 1: but same freaking themes. Um, and I got to tell you,
15:45
Speaker 1: I got one more.
15:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead. I got one more.
15:47
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:47
Speaker 3: Uh, Dontavian Wicks, who I've, uh, affectionately turned, I've, I
15:55
Speaker 3: saw it somewhere and I always call him John Wicks.
15:57
Speaker 4: Yeah.
15:58
Speaker 2: Uh, I've, I've affectionately called him that.
16:01
Speaker 3: I do have to say on that third and 13
16:03
Speaker 3: on the stutter go, they, it was the, I got
16:07
Speaker 3: to give Mannion Sirianni.
16:08
Speaker 2: It was a perfect call.
16:10
Speaker 4: Best call. And I don't really.
16:11
Speaker 3: Yep. And I don't really want to say that Jalen
16:15
Speaker 3: missed it. He has to come down with that. Yeah.
16:18
Speaker 2: That ball. He had, he has to fuck. He has
16:21
Speaker 2: to score there.
16:22
Speaker 4: Yeah.
16:22
Speaker 2: You have, you have to score.
16:24
Speaker 3: So if we're going to go back and Monday morning quarterback,
16:27
Speaker 3: all of this, Dontavian Wicks, you got to catch that one.
16:30
Speaker 3: You've made some amazing catches this year, and that's why
16:33
Speaker 3: the standard is that you should make that catch. You
16:35
Speaker 3: have to– for your life, you have to at least.
16:39
Speaker 2: Pull that in. That cannot be a time where we
16:41
Speaker 2: have to go punt the ball.
16:41
Speaker 4: I think that's fair. That's fair.
16:43
Speaker 1: It was a great call. Probably the best call of
16:44
Speaker 1: the entire game. Probably the best call of the entire
16:47
Speaker 1: game too.
16:48
Speaker 2: Season maybe.
16:49
Speaker 4: Yes. Yes. And look– You know, we try. I mean,
16:55
Speaker 4: three losses in a row.
16:57
Speaker 1: It's hard to really try to find the positives to
16:59
Speaker 1: bring into the conversation, too. But I'm going to do
17:01
Speaker 1: that in terms of this defense. We talked about Jalen Carter.
17:04
Speaker 1: He looked like the Jalen Carter from back in 2024.
17:07
Speaker 1: We saw an Eagles defensive front also, Matt, collapsing the
17:11
Speaker 1: pocket much more this week than we have throughout the
17:14
Speaker 1: entire first four games of the season. Trevor Lawrence was
17:18
Speaker 1: on the run. Quinion Mitchell, I thought, had a fantastic game.
17:22
Speaker 1: even getting his first regular season interception of his career.
17:26
Speaker 1: He ended up going down with a little bit of
17:28
Speaker 1: an injury, was able to come back. He walked off
17:31
Speaker 1: under his own power after that injury, his fifth interception
17:34
Speaker 1: of his career. He's had four interceptions in the postseason,
17:38
Speaker 1: but this one was his first of a regular season. Yeah,
17:43
Speaker 1: so the defense overall, Played well, we're going to talk
17:46
Speaker 1: about the linebackers when we get to the grades. I'm
17:49
Speaker 1: not necessarily thrilled with the linebacker play of G high
17:51
Speaker 1: Campbell again, Matt, you and I've talked about this again
17:54
Speaker 1: and again on these postgame shows and he has some
17:58
Speaker 1: skills for sure. And he doesn't have some skills in
18:02
Speaker 1: other areas, too. However, we saw him getting a little
18:06
Speaker 1: burnt again in coverage today. So we're certainly going to
18:09
Speaker 1: get to that. Buddy, before we get to the break here,
18:13
Speaker 1: do you have any other themes before we take that
18:16
Speaker 1: break and then get to our grades this week?
18:19
Speaker 2: No, absolutely.
18:22
Speaker 3: Just adding on to what you were just talking about,
18:25
Speaker 3: about the defensive line getting pressure, Nolan Smith was absolutely
18:29
Speaker 3: getting pressure.
18:29
Speaker 2: I love to see it. That's a good theme. That's
18:31
Speaker 2: a positive theme as well.
18:32
Speaker 4: Very positive.
18:33
Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, let us know what you
18:35
Speaker 1: thought of our themes here. If you have any other
18:37
Speaker 1: themes you want to share with us, leave some comments
18:41
Speaker 1: in the YouTube comment area, as I'm just completely verklempt.
18:48
Speaker 4: Yes.
18:49
Speaker 2: Talking about this crap.
18:51
Speaker 4: Who's not? All right. Taking a break. We'll be back
18:54
Speaker 4: with our Grades by Unit.
18:59
Speaker 1: All right. We're back with our buddy, Matt Rogers, from
19:01
Speaker 1: the Honorable Mention podcast, where you can subscribe to his
19:04
Speaker 1: awesome podcast on YouTube and whatever audio podcast platform you're.
19:08
Speaker 4: Listening to us on. Let's grade....
19:12
Speaker 1: Units this week. Quarterback, I'm going to give Jalen Hurts.
19:16
Speaker 1: It's tough because there were some rough throws he made today.
19:20
Speaker 1: Then again, he was on the run at times. I'm
19:23
Speaker 1: going to give, I'm around a C plus, B minus. Yeah,
19:26
Speaker 1: I'm thinking C plus.
19:28
Speaker 2: I'm at C plus.
19:31
Speaker 3: I would have gone lower had he not left the
19:34
Speaker 3: field with a lead. I'm so much a guy about like, hey,
19:39
Speaker 3: when you need to get it done, What happened? And
19:41
Speaker 3: you could be having a great day. And when we
19:45
Speaker 3: needed this one drive, you come out and you, you
19:47
Speaker 3: three and out, or you get a pick.
19:49
Speaker 2: And so I'm going to.
19:50
Speaker 3: Weigh that more heavily Final exam Weighs a lot Yeah
19:53
Speaker 3: He got a he got a B on his final exam.
19:57
Speaker 4: Yeah. So, okay. Sounds good.
19:59
Speaker 2: C plus.
20:00
Speaker 4: Sounds good. C plus.
20:01
Speaker 2: I agree.
20:02
Speaker 4: I'm happy.
20:02
Speaker 1: He only took one sack today. We usually don't see
20:05
Speaker 1: that to be honest with you. It was 21 of 40,
20:08
Speaker 1: 220 yards passing. He averaged 5.5 yards per attempt, one
20:12
Speaker 1: touchdown and ended with a rating of 77.1, but let's
20:18
Speaker 1: move over to the running backs.
20:19
Speaker 4: It's a straight up F.
20:20
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just no, there's just no other grade
20:23
Speaker 1: that you can give the running backs as they were
20:25
Speaker 1: averaging a 1.2 yards per attempt here.
20:30
Speaker 4: F right.
20:31
Speaker 2: It's easy to say.
20:31
Speaker 4: Yeah.
20:32
Speaker 2: It's easy to say I could do better than that.
20:34
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say that because I still have
20:36
Speaker 3: to get to the line of scrimmage. What I would
20:39
Speaker 3: say is I'm not sure either of us or anybody
20:42
Speaker 3: who's listening would do too much worse than what we
20:45
Speaker 3: saw today.
20:45
Speaker 4: Okay. Very good. Very good.
20:46
Speaker 1: I like how you phrase that. I like how you
20:48
Speaker 1: phrase that my friend. Let's get to the receivers and
20:52
Speaker 1: grade them. We've got Dontavian Wicks had the majority of
20:56
Speaker 1: targets today. Eight targets on the day. Came down with
20:59
Speaker 1: five balls for 63 yards. Darius Cooper with a touchdown.
21:04
Speaker 1: We got to mention the fact that, my goodness, he
21:06
Speaker 1: has had four touchdowns in the last five games. Darius Cooper,
21:10
Speaker 1: like I mentioned before, I mean, he is the true
21:13
Speaker 1: number three receiver, I think, on this team. right here
21:16
Speaker 1: at this point. I mean, he's catching, he's catching tutties.
21:20
Speaker 1: He's catching, I can't believe I just used the word tutties.
21:23
Speaker 1: He's catching touchdowns here.
21:24
Speaker 2: That's what he does. That's all he does.
21:26
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:26
Speaker 2: He's a specialist.
21:27
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:27
Speaker 2: Touchdown catcher.
21:28
Speaker 1: Only three targets, but he caught two balls for 71 yards,
21:32
Speaker 1: and that touchdown, which was an amazing 62-yarder. Makai Lemon
21:37
Speaker 1: had seven targets on the day, came down with five
21:39
Speaker 1: balls for 43 yards. Dallas Goddard was really involved in
21:43
Speaker 1: this game, but only in that short intermediate game. He
21:47
Speaker 1: had nine targets on the day. came down with six balls,
21:50
Speaker 1: only 38 yards on the day. So, you know, Zach
21:53
Speaker 1: Ertz was targeted twice, didn't come down with any balls.
21:56
Speaker 1: Can we talk about that play? Like the play that
21:58
Speaker 1: everybody was like, oh my gosh.
22:00
Speaker 4: The go ball. The go ball. Go ball, Zach Ertz. Like,
22:05
Speaker 4: I love him.
22:06
Speaker 1: He scored a touchdown in a Super Bowl that helped
22:09
Speaker 1: the Eagles win that Super Bowl, and I will always
22:11
Speaker 1: love him. And it's not even him. I think it's
22:12
Speaker 1: the coaching. Why are you throwing a go route on
22:16
Speaker 1: third down, to old man hurts.
22:18
Speaker 4: I don't know.
22:20
Speaker 3: When, when, when would we have thrown a go ball to, to,
22:24
Speaker 3: to hurts? I don't, he was not the go ball guy.
22:27
Speaker 3: Even the best of hurts wasn't the go ball guy. Just,
22:33
Speaker 3: I mean, covered completely on that play too, by the defender, just,
22:38
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, just amazing. So I'm going to give
22:40
Speaker 3: the receivers this week because they were asked to do
22:43
Speaker 3: certain things. And the majority of the time, They were
22:46
Speaker 3: able to get it done if Jalen Hurts was able
22:48
Speaker 3: to get them the ball.
22:49
Speaker 4: So I'm actually going to give him a B this week.
22:51
Speaker 4: What do you give him?
22:54
Speaker 2: I can't give him I give him a B minus.
22:56
Speaker 3: OK, because because I because I don't want to grade
23:00
Speaker 3: it too much on a curve because I because B
23:02
Speaker 3: you start getting to be discussions and, you know.
23:06
Speaker 1: Well, you've got your Dontavian Wicks. You've got your Dontavian
23:10
Speaker 1: Wicks issue right there.
23:11
Speaker 3: Yes.
23:12
Speaker 4: And it's fair.
23:12
Speaker 3: If he catches that ball, and let's just say he
23:16
Speaker 3: catches it and he has to stumble over.
23:17
Speaker 2: He just has to dive. He can't catch it and
23:21
Speaker 2: keep going. That's fine. Then I'm comfortable with more so
23:26
Speaker 2: the regular B.
23:27
Speaker 4: Okay.
23:28
Speaker 2: But just– I think I'll go B- as well. Yeah.
23:31
Speaker 4: Yeah. I'll go B- too. All right. Yeah. Offensive line.
23:36
Speaker 4: Dear sweet Jesus, what are you going to give them?
23:39
Speaker 1: Because I'm thinking about this, thinking about the performance, and
23:42
Speaker 1: I was thinking C- right now.
23:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
23:45
Speaker 1: These poor guys getting put into this situation. I say
23:47
Speaker 1: poor guys, but look, they're professional athletes. They are getting
23:51
Speaker 1: paid money to be professionals, but I think put into
23:54
Speaker 1: a situation that not even they thought was going to
23:57
Speaker 1: be possible. Not even the front office of this organization
24:01
Speaker 1: thought was going to be possible even three weeks ago.
24:04
Speaker 4: So.
24:05
Speaker 1: For them to play the way that they did, yes,
24:08
Speaker 1: they did give Jalen Hurts some time every now and again. Yes,
24:11
Speaker 1: there were some hiccups for sure. There were penalties. There
24:14
Speaker 1: were issues with false starts.
24:20
Speaker 4: I think C- is probably a fair grade. What do
24:23
Speaker 4: you think?
24:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I was thinking C, but that's when you just,
24:31
Speaker 3: how well did they block, run block, but they were
24:34
Speaker 3: setting this team back. And sometimes Jalen and the receivers,
24:38
Speaker 3: even though they weren't having the best of days, they
24:41
Speaker 3: were picking up some third and medium third and longs
24:44
Speaker 3: that were completely impossible in previous weeks.
24:47
Speaker 4: Yes.
24:47
Speaker 2: So they were kind of getting bailed out on almost
24:49
Speaker 2: killing drives.
24:50
Speaker 3: Yep.
24:51
Speaker 2: So I do got it.
24:51
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:52
Speaker 2: It was not a great performance.
24:53
Speaker 3: I mean, I just always think about Jeff after we've
24:56
Speaker 3: come on here after, you know, the Eagles run for
24:59
Speaker 3: 300 against green Bay or, you know, 300 against Tennessee
25:03
Speaker 3: Titans a few years ago. And it's like to, to
25:06
Speaker 3: think about, that's just a couple of years ago.
25:08
Speaker 2: This is nothing. I mean, if this is a C minus,
25:11
Speaker 2: then what the hell was that?
25:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
25:14
Speaker 1: Exactly.
25:15
Speaker 2: I'm at the gut thinking about that. I got to
25:17
Speaker 2: give him a D plus.
25:19
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about it in context. You know what I mean?
25:21
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the context of, again, like I said,
25:24
Speaker 1: I mean, two, three weeks ago, this wasn't even happening.
25:29
Speaker 1: this wasn't even in the realm of possibility of happening.
25:32
Speaker 1: If you had told me two weeks ago that a
25:36
Speaker 1: two-time Pro Bowler center who ended up having to move
25:38
Speaker 1: to guard for a couple games was going to be
25:41
Speaker 1: traded to the Baltimore Ravens, and then our star right tackle,
25:46
Speaker 1: who's going to be a Hall of Famer, was going
25:48
Speaker 1: to retire, and then we'd have other injuries. You couldn't
25:53
Speaker 1: convince me that that would happen, and it did. So
25:55
Speaker 1: for context... With me, that's why I'm giving the C-. Oh,
25:58
Speaker 1: in context, they played great.
26:01
Speaker 3: I don't think any of them actually were blowing the game, right?
26:05
Speaker 2: I don't think they were.
26:08
Speaker 4: It just, I see where it comes from though.
26:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't world changing offensive line play either.
26:13
Speaker 3: They were, the trains were coming about within five minutes
26:16
Speaker 3: of when they were supposed to be on at the station.
26:18
Speaker 4: There you go.
26:19
Speaker 2: There you go.
26:19
Speaker 1: All right, let's move over to the defense defensive line
26:22
Speaker 1: this week. I mean, look at the end of the day,
26:25
Speaker 1: only two sacks, but I love that those two sacks
26:28
Speaker 1: came from Jalen Carter as we talked about. He had
26:31
Speaker 1: three tackles for a loss, one pass defended, and just really.
26:35
Speaker 2: Two forced fumbles.
26:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, exactly.
26:38
Speaker 1: And I cannot tell you how much I think this
26:42
Speaker 1: is going to be a spark for the defense, how
26:44
Speaker 1: it will translate into what it could do for the
26:46
Speaker 1: offense in the weeks to come.
26:48
Speaker 3: Who knows?
26:48
Speaker 4: Who knows?
26:49
Speaker 1: But Jalen Carter needs to keep this up for sure.
26:53
Speaker 1: I'm going to be, and like you mentioned, Nolan Smith
26:55
Speaker 1: was playing really well in this game too. I'm going
26:57
Speaker 1: to give the defensive line, I'm actually going to give
27:00
Speaker 1: them an A-minus this week. High grade, probably the highest
27:03
Speaker 1: grade I've given them. Could be B +, but I'm
27:05
Speaker 1: going to give them A-minus because they were difference makers
27:08
Speaker 1: in this game. They were keeping this high-powered Jaguars offense
27:13
Speaker 1: to only seven points, basically, before the half.
27:17
Speaker 4: So... I'm giving them an A-. What do you give them?
27:21
Speaker 2: I'm with the A- as well.
27:23
Speaker 3: I wish that we could get the quarterback to the.
27:26
Speaker 2: Ground a little more quickly.
27:29
Speaker 3: But they really are getting the ball out so fast.
27:33
Speaker 3: And I've got to give Trevor Lawrence some credit today.
27:36
Speaker 3: He was so decisive.
27:38
Speaker 4: He was.
27:38
Speaker 3: They were talking about a lot in the pregame, and
27:40
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, we'll see. He really was decisive, even
27:45
Speaker 3: under pressure.
27:45
Speaker 4: Yep.
27:46
Speaker 2: Got to give him credit.
27:47
Speaker 4: Absolutely. All right.
27:48
Speaker 1: The linebackers, as I mentioned before the break, you did
27:51
Speaker 1: have Zach Bond with 11 total tackles on the day,
27:55
Speaker 1: one tackle for a loss, two quarterback hits.
27:57
Speaker 4: Bond, I believe, had a pretty good game.
27:59
Speaker 1: He did miss some key tackles that ended up in
28:03
Speaker 1: some first downs and even a touchdown as well. But, man,
28:07
Speaker 1: Jihad Campbell, we're still seeing that he can be a
28:10
Speaker 1: liability in pass protection.
28:12
Speaker 4: He's a baller.
28:14
Speaker 2: Past defense. Oh, I'm so sorry.
28:15
Speaker 4: Yes. Thank you very much. Thank you.
28:17
Speaker 1: I'm all over the place here. My, my, my brain
28:19
Speaker 1: is scrambled eggs after watching this game. It's pudding here
28:24
Speaker 1: at this point. So I'm going to, I'm going to
28:26
Speaker 1: give the linebackers this week a C plus.
28:28
Speaker 4: What do you give them?
28:31
Speaker 2: Hmm.
28:34
Speaker 3: Ah, at, I'm going to give him a B-. I
28:39
Speaker 3: love the play that sticks out.
28:41
Speaker 2: In my brain. Yes, Mr.
28:43
Speaker 3: Campbell's getting cooked a bit. That continues. That's a theme
28:47
Speaker 3: that persists. But again, on that jet sweep that the
28:53
Speaker 3: Jaguars tried to run down there right before the first half,
29:00
Speaker 3: The way Zach Bond just completely sniffed that out and
29:03
Speaker 3: shut that play down, that was a key, one of
29:05
Speaker 3: those key moments of the game.
29:08
Speaker 2: Zach Bond was really good today.
29:09
Speaker 4: He was.
29:10
Speaker 3: Campbell was okay because he had good moments too.
29:14
Speaker 2: Trott was out. I don't know if any other linebackers,
29:18
Speaker 2: who even played today?
29:19
Speaker 4: I'm not even sure. I don't know. not a hundred percent.
29:22
Speaker 2: Sure.
29:22
Speaker 4: If we go through.
29:24
Speaker 3: Epinesa, Epinesa got on the field, but, but is he, yeah.
29:28
Speaker 4: Yeah. He had a pass defended and tackle.
29:33
Speaker 3: Yeah.
29:33
Speaker 2: I'll go with a B minus.
29:34
Speaker 4: Okay.
29:35
Speaker 2: All right.
29:36
Speaker 1: And I'm going to give the secondary this week, the
29:38
Speaker 1: running backs and, I'm sorry, the cornerbacks and the safeties
29:42
Speaker 1: this week, I'm actually going to give them a B plus.
29:45
Speaker 4: I really am.
29:46
Speaker 1: And I say that because yes, there were, yes, there
29:51
Speaker 1: were 331 total receiving yards, but it wasn't all because
29:56
Speaker 1: of terrible play from the secondary. Yes, there were some
29:59
Speaker 1: hiccups for sure. But you've got Quinion Mitchell with the interception.
30:03
Speaker 4: I think Cooper Dejean had one of his best games.
30:07
Speaker 1: He did.
30:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could just see it from the tech.
30:09
Speaker 3: I think it was his best game of the year
30:11
Speaker 3: this year.
30:11
Speaker 4: He had 10 total tackles. He had two tackles for
30:14
Speaker 4: a loss on the day.
30:15
Speaker 1: I cannot complain about much. I mean, Rick Wolin giving
30:21
Speaker 1: up that touchdown to, was it Parker Washington?
30:25
Speaker 4: Parker. Yeah.
30:26
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:27
Speaker 2: Parker Washington. He was right there. Just like last week.
30:31
Speaker 4: Exactly.
30:32
Speaker 1: Coverage almost just if he had turned his head around,
30:35
Speaker 1: if he had turned his head around, who knows what
30:37
Speaker 1: may have happened, but I'm going to, I'm going to
30:40
Speaker 1: give him a B man.
30:41
Speaker 4: I'm going to give him a B.
30:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
30:42
Speaker 2: I'm going to get, I can go even higher, but
30:44
Speaker 2: I think B is fair.
30:45
Speaker 3: Yeah. Because they weren't, you know, completely game changers, but
30:49
Speaker 3: they were not a liability whatsoever.
30:50
Speaker 4: Exactly. Exactly.
30:52
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right. Real quick, folks, we're going to take
30:54
Speaker 1: a break before we get to some grades for our
30:56
Speaker 1: coaches and our MVP and least valuable player award or
31:03
Speaker 1: LVP or doo-doo. We call it the doo-doo butter award.
31:07
Speaker 1: We are going to take a break. When we come back,
31:09
Speaker 1: we're going to dish out those awards.
31:12
Speaker 4: Stick with us.
31:15
Speaker 1: All right, back with our buddy Matt Rogers from the
31:17
Speaker 1: Honorable Mention podcast, and let's talk about special teams here
31:21
Speaker 1: in the grade we're going to give them. My gosh,
31:24
Speaker 1: special teams was fantastic throughout the day. Britton Covey has
31:29
Speaker 1: truly solidified his mark on this team, I think, Matt,
31:32
Speaker 1: as a real threat, as a punt returner. I mean,
31:35
Speaker 1: he has gotten better and better every year. So many
31:38
Speaker 1: of us wanted him off the team just a couple
31:40
Speaker 1: years ago.
31:40
Speaker 4: I mean, we really did.
31:42
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, my gosh, he's
31:44
Speaker 1: averaging 10.5 yards per return.
31:47
Speaker 4: Not bad.
31:47
Speaker 1: His long today was 18 as well. Like, you actually
31:51
Speaker 1: want to get some positive yards. And I'm not talking
31:53
Speaker 1: just two or three yards or five yards. That 10.5
31:57
Speaker 1: yards average is pretty significant. And I'm giving Britton Covey
32:01
Speaker 1: all the credit in the world for where he has
32:03
Speaker 1: taken his special teams game. Jake Elliott making his 48-yarder,
32:07
Speaker 1: which was so very critical in this game, made two
32:11
Speaker 1: extra points as well. Braden Mann averaging 50.5 yards per
32:17
Speaker 1: punt today. Not too shabby either. But then at the
32:20
Speaker 1: end of the game, you had the kickoff coverage completely different.
32:24
Speaker 1: completely screw up this game and allow the Jacksonville Jaguars
32:29
Speaker 1: and allow Logan Cook to I'm sorry not Logan Cook
32:32
Speaker 1: Cam Little to kick that that field goal for the
32:36
Speaker 1: win and they they failed and so in that case
32:40
Speaker 1: what an A grade is going to be brought down
32:42
Speaker 1: to a C what do you what do you give them.
32:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll go with C-plus because the initial kickoff that
32:53
Speaker 3: got taken to the house, there was a penalty on
32:56
Speaker 3: that one.
32:57
Speaker 2: There were many penalties on that one.
33:00
Speaker 4: Yes.
33:03
Speaker 2: Many a penalty on that one. The last one, I.
33:08
Speaker 3: Hate it so much because– and I've done some coaching.
33:12
Speaker 3: I've coached kids basketball, football, baseball.
33:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
33:17
Speaker 3: And sometimes, sometimes it really is your fault. Like sometimes you, yeah,
33:24
Speaker 3: the kid missed the shot, but you shouldn't have put
33:27
Speaker 3: them in that position and you kind of permanently kind
33:30
Speaker 3: of end up. messing up people's experiences because they should
33:34
Speaker 3: have never been in that spot because you wanted to
33:37
Speaker 3: get style points you wanted to do it your way
33:39
Speaker 3: right i mean what the hell was sirianni even so
33:42
Speaker 3: i kind of want to discount that that they still
33:45
Speaker 3: let it happen they did but they should have never
33:47
Speaker 3: been in the situation exactly so it's hard for me to.
33:50
Speaker 1: Because there were missed tackles on that on that return
33:53
Speaker 1: you know like there were guys who were missing tackles.
33:55
Speaker 3: So Thank goodness for Jonathan Jones because if they would
33:58
Speaker 3: have housed that, that would have been so much more embarrassing.
34:01
Speaker 4: It would have been. It would have been, actually. Yeah.
34:04
Speaker 2: All right. Let's move to— C is fine.
34:06
Speaker 4: C is fine. Yeah.
34:07
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, I think he actually had a fine day today.
34:11
Speaker 1: A fine day, yes. Gave up, at the end of
34:13
Speaker 1: the day, 19 points to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
34:16
Speaker 4: Again, a very high-powered offense. Yeah. You should win. I'm
34:20
Speaker 4: giving Fangio a B-plus this week. What do you give him?
34:22
Speaker 2: Same.
34:23
Speaker 4: Yeah.
34:23
Speaker 2: Same.
34:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:24
Speaker 4: All right.
34:24
Speaker 3: You got to— You're holding guys to 24 and 19 points.
34:28
Speaker 2: You got to win those damn games, period.
34:30
Speaker 1: I am going to be giving, and this is bizarre
34:32
Speaker 1: for the offensive coaching, Sean Mannion, Nick Sirianni. I hate
34:36
Speaker 1: using the word plus in any way, shape, or form,
34:39
Speaker 1: but I'm going to give an F plus. And I'm
34:42
Speaker 1: giving the F plus.
34:46
Speaker 4: I'm giving the.
34:47
Speaker 1: F plus the pluses for that Dontavian Wicks, that go route. When,
34:52
Speaker 1: when you had, um, when you had zero coverage and
34:56
Speaker 1: it was just. Third and 13.
35:00
Speaker 4: Yes.
35:00
Speaker 2: And Stutter go.
35:01
Speaker 4: Should have, should have had that, should have had that
35:03
Speaker 4: would have been a score. What that would have done
35:05
Speaker 4: to the game.
35:06
Speaker 1: And that was, that was, could have been one of
35:07
Speaker 1: the best calls all season by Mannion and Sirianni, but
35:11
Speaker 1: I'm giving them an F plus because I am tired
35:13
Speaker 1: of the same old shit.
35:15
Speaker 4: Every freaking week.
35:16
Speaker 1: And the themes that we have talked about for five weeks,
35:19
Speaker 1: going back to last season, we're still talking about the
35:22
Speaker 1: same themes, Matt. And it's a Sirianni thing. It's an
35:27
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator thing. It's a lot of this. And I'm
35:30
Speaker 1: giving him an F +.
35:32
Speaker 4: What do you give him?
35:34
Speaker 2: So I guess I'm being a little more charitable on
35:37
Speaker 2: this one. You were before, too.
35:39
Speaker 4: I'm going to give him a D +.
35:41
Speaker 2: Okay.
35:41
Speaker 1: A D +.
35:41
Speaker 2: I'm going to give him a D +.
35:43
Speaker 4: Okay.
35:43
Speaker 2: And I'm going to say.
35:45
Speaker 3: because the ingredients that they're using are unfamiliar and subpar.
35:52
Speaker 4: That's a good point. Good point. It is a good point.
35:55
Speaker 3: Even if they are good players, you don't really know
35:59
Speaker 3: what you have. So you don't really get to call
36:01
Speaker 3: certain stuff with any level of conviction other than just
36:06
Speaker 3: blind hope.
36:06
Speaker 2: So, I, and I'm not enthused.
36:11
Speaker 3: About the, the, the offense, especially with the running back position.
36:16
Speaker 3: But I mean, what the hell, what the hell are
36:18
Speaker 3: you going to do when you've, all you can do
36:22
Speaker 3: is throw the ball and your number one receiver is
36:25
Speaker 3: Dontavion Wicks.
36:26
Speaker 4: Yeah.
36:26
Speaker 3: I mean, not to disrespect Dontavion Wicks, Dontavion Wicks has
36:29
Speaker 3: been making plays all season, but.
36:33
Speaker 2: That that's not, he's not Jamar Chase. He's not Dustin Jefferson.
36:36
Speaker 2: So yeah.
36:37
Speaker 3: You know, you're getting, you're playing football with one hand
36:39
Speaker 3: tied behind your back and, you know, you know, a,
36:43
Speaker 3: a broken, you know, big toe with the offensive line.
36:46
Speaker 2: So it's like, ah, this is why I love you.
36:49
Speaker 4: This is why I love you. You are very fair.
36:51
Speaker 4: You are very fair.
36:52
Speaker 1: And I'll say, you know what? I'm going to take
36:53
Speaker 1: my F plus and I'm going to bring it up
36:55
Speaker 1: to a D plus. I'm going to do that because
36:58
Speaker 1: you are a fair individual.
37:00
Speaker 4: My friend.
37:01
Speaker 1: I tried to lay down a good point. You laid
37:02
Speaker 1: out very good points. You really, you really did. It's
37:05
Speaker 1: about the ingredients and, but they still, there's still a
37:08
Speaker 1: lot of doo-doo.
37:09
Speaker 4: Butter and we're going to get to some. Oh, it sucks.
37:11
Speaker 2: There are reasons that it sucks.
37:13
Speaker 1: It doesn't suck for no reason. Well, let's give our
37:16
Speaker 1: MVP award out. I think we're probably going to have
37:19
Speaker 1: the same player. I'm going with Jalen Carter, MVP in
37:23
Speaker 1: this game. 100% absolutely deserves it.
37:27
Speaker 4: I hope we see this Jalen Carter from here on
37:29
Speaker 4: out this season.
37:31
Speaker 2: We won't, but it was glad to see you today, Jalen.
37:33
Speaker 4: Yes, it was.
37:34
Speaker 3: Just past his prologue, he does this a good six
37:38
Speaker 3: out of 17 games a season where he's the best
37:41
Speaker 3: freaking player in football.
37:43
Speaker 4: I'll take it. I'll take it.
37:45
Speaker 3: I will.
37:46
Speaker 4: I'll take it.
37:47
Speaker 1: And we're going to need it. We're going to need
37:49
Speaker 1: to hold on to that hope for sure.
37:51
Speaker 3: I love that he can summon it, though. You can
37:53
Speaker 3: tell on certain plays, too.
37:55
Speaker 4: Watch, guys.
37:56
Speaker 2: Fans of the team.
37:57
Speaker 3: Sorry to belabor your show, but you could see it.
37:59
Speaker 4: He lines up.
38:00
Speaker 3: With a certain ferocity as like a look to him,
38:02
Speaker 3: a little swagger. He puts his hand on the ground
38:05
Speaker 3: and you could just tell he's going to take over
38:06
Speaker 3: on that play. could see it a lot when he's
38:09
Speaker 3: uh locked in on these uh because he's he really
38:11
Speaker 3: has taken a interest in blocking these field goals you
38:14
Speaker 3: can see he's he the ability to summon that is
38:19
Speaker 3: laudable but it's like i need you to be here
38:21
Speaker 3: all the time why are you doing this yeah sometimes
38:25
Speaker 3: yeah you're you could be do you know who you
38:28
Speaker 3: could be if you did this all the time yes
38:31
Speaker 3: golly exactly We love them MVP in this game.
38:36
Speaker 1: Let's move over to who gets the doo-doo butter award
38:40
Speaker 1: this week for this Eagles team, the doo-doo butter award
38:43
Speaker 1: who played, who was just crap this week. Nick Sirianni.
38:48
Speaker 3: He's he's, I mean, there are players, you know, who could,
38:52
Speaker 3: who certainly could qualify, but coaches, coaches.
38:57
Speaker 2: And players are, lose games and win games.
39:00
Speaker 3: And Nick Sirianni with the boneheaded decision to try to
39:04
Speaker 3: with style points to make his special teams have to
39:08
Speaker 3: bring the guys down. When, even if you did a
39:11
Speaker 3: illegal procedure, let's say, even if you did a legal
39:14
Speaker 3: procedure and they started the 40, they still have to
39:18
Speaker 3: drive another 10, 15 yards as opposed to what happened there.
39:23
Speaker 3: So he completely threw that away. The the, the, the
39:28
Speaker 3: way that folks are feeling after winning that game is
39:30
Speaker 3: completely different.
39:31
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
39:32
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
39:33
Speaker 2: Folks are feeling now.
39:34
Speaker 1: I'll go Sean Mannion for my doo doo butter award.
39:36
Speaker 1: So it's the offensive coaching at the end of the day.
39:38
Speaker 1: It's the offensive coaching at the end of the day.
39:41
Speaker 1: I think we just heard what one of our.
39:43
Speaker 2: Favorites, uh, Give me one second, Jeff.
39:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure thing. One of our favorites there, Matt's son.
39:51
Speaker 1: Absolutely love him. And look, folks, it's amazing to see
39:57
Speaker 1: where this team is at. None of us thought we
39:59
Speaker 1: were going to be seeing this type of Philadelphia Eagles
40:01
Speaker 1: team here in this 2026-2027 season. Hopes were very high.
40:07
Speaker 1: You can go back in the feed and you can
40:10
Speaker 1: see what our particular predictions were going to be for
40:13
Speaker 1: this Eagles team. And again, nobody could have predicted this.
40:17
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, folks, he is
40:19
Speaker 1: Matt Rogers. Matt, buddy, thanks so.
40:22
Speaker 2: Much for having me.
