  Speaker 1: Welcome the Eagles postgame analysis here at the Philadelphia Sports
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Table podcast show, the longest running weekly Philly sports podcast
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: show in the world, over eleven and a half years strong.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles here in Week sixteen, losing to the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Washington Commanders by a score of thirty six to thirty three.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: The Eagles are now twelve and three on the season.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: In a very very disappointing game that we watched that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: was coming to you from Washington while technically landover Maryland.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm Jeff Warren. I am here with my
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: good buddy from the honorable mentioned podcast. Should subscribe on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: YouTube and also on Apple Podcasts. That's where I listen
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to the honorable mentioned podcast. Listen on whatever platform you're
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: listening to us on. Again, the Eagles losing Week sixteen here, Matt,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I kind of had a feeling it was coming to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: have ten wins in a row, which is difficult in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: itself to do in the NFL. Eleven though, I thought
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: was going to be a tall task when this Eagles
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: team is on the road. Lots of themes to get into,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Buddy on this particular podcast, a show in Eagles post
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: game we got to get into it. We saw Jalen
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Hurts heading out in the first quarter after it appeared
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that he had a head injury. Kenny Pickett came in,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he went three for three, threw a touchdown. I think
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of us were you know, who are sitting
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: on our couches, are thinking, okay, all right, not right,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: not bad. And then Hurtz goes back into the locker
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: room to be evaluated for a concussion. Then we're like,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: oh no, oh no, and he wasn't coming back out
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: when like oh no. Then Kenny Pickett throws an interception
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, dear God, please Jalen be okay,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: be okay. He is not okay and has a concussion.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Gave Washington that interception that cany Pickett through that first
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: one gave gave Washington really good field position, and then
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels ended up throwing a touchdown pass to Jamison Crowder.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: It was and it was right at that moment, that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: moment Matt, that level of unease just scept or receieping,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I should say, right into my body. That feeling of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: not having Jalen Hurts under center a very weird feeling
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to know that we were going to be seeing this
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: for then the rest of the game, and this offense
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: certainly performed much differently without him under center.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: My friend I I so thmes. I want to say
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: for all the listeners appreciate Jalen Hurts. That's just what
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: he's able to do in the passing games, because there
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: are some throws that Kenny Pickett just flat out missed.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: There were open running lanes that Kenny Pickett just flat
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: out missed.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: There were five yard runs from Kenny Pickett that we
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: were all excited about jumped out of our seats, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that were twenty five yard runs or or way more
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: effective places from Jalen Hurts. So that's one thing. There's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: also the un noticed thing about what Jalen Hurts has
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: done and people have kind of not spoken about this
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and all the great talk about how well Saquon Markley
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: has played this year, is that is that the way
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: that they're that that exchange goes with the option, that
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: pulling back, having to that backside defender having to hold
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and not collapse. In on Saquon, you can totally see
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: in this game when the guy's basically like screw it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: If Kenny Pickett comes out the back door for ten yards,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: then I'll live with that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Exactly. We're not gonna around with Kenny Pickett, you know.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly, We're gonna just go right in and they just
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: shut off the running game. And I want to say,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know, to all those folks, I mean, give all
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the credit to Saquon. Saquon has played amazingly this year.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But this idea that any quarterback could just step into
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the eagle, you know, and manage all this and make
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: sat Quan be as efficient as he is. Let's put
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that to bed here today. Absolutely, that's what I would say.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Matt, I don't care if I don't care if
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: this podcast platform loses listeners for this. All you dopes
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that have been critical of Jalen Hurts, Oh dude, you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: can't throw over the middle. Oh he's not able.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: To do this.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: He's not able to do that. You shut up, people.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: We saw Matt just described to you what he has
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: meant from this team. From a pure football perspective. He
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: is not the most perfect quarterback in the league. He's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: probably not the top three quarterbacks in the league. Definitely
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback in this league for sure, But
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the intangibles because of his athleticism, what he is able
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to do on the field. If you want Kenny Pickett
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: feel free. We saw him. We saw him, folks, we
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: saw what he is able to do. He looked like
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the guy from Pittsburgh who he saw for the past
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: two seasons.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: That's what Kenny.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Pickett looked like. There was some good, but guess what,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of inaccurate throws and was a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: lot of bullshit too coming from Kenny Pickett. And I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: wish each and every one of you dopes out there
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: who are Jalen Hurts haters realize no and understand now
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: after this game what he means to this team. It
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the defense. It's all about the defense
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: trying to keep keep this team alive. No, it's not,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's Jalen Hurts and it's in tangibles. And yes, yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm yeah. Fucking people out on the exactly.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: All of what you're saying, and it's complementary football. You
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: guys are all upset about these things, these parables. You
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: guys are saying that Jalen is just giving you these
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: beautiful words. No, listen to what he's saying. He's saying
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: that the team is playing complimentary football. If I've got
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the ball out of sixty minutes and we're hammering you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: with quarterback counter runs, we're hitting you with sweeps, we're
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: hitting you for six yards, it's not pretty. But Jalen
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: is completely seventy percent of his passes in sixty rushing
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: yards a game. He's got two three rushing touchdowns. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: our team has the ball for thirty six thirty seven minutes.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Our defense is getting a breather. That defense was tired.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: They get a pick and Kenny Pickett put him right
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: back out on the field. Folks, Yeah, you gotta recognize
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that it's this isn't Madden with the damn fatigue turn off.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: These people are tired. It's twenty degrees outside. These are
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: real human beings. Like yep, complimentary football, folks, put some
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: damn respect on this man, Jalen Hurt's name.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Absolute.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yah. They put up thirty three points today, but that
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: was with a guy who nobody after today, nobody's looking
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: at Kenny Pickett like, oh, maybe he should be our
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: guy week one.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Day exactly exactly. I mean, there's people saying that Tanner
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: McKee should have been in instead of Kenny Pickett. Maybe
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that is the case. I'm gonna say, yeah, before we
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: get off the Jalen Hurts stuff here, his injury, what
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it meant for this game too, I will say I'm
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a bit pissed Matt that the rest didn't call penalty
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: on Frankie Louvo who put the hit on Jalen Hurts
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and it appeared appeared to be a targeting call as
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Hurts was going to the crowd. Yeah, it was. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: mean it was very reminiscent quite frankly when Carson Wentz
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: went downwards concussed by Jendavian Clowny years ago. Yes, yes,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and Eagles still don't get a call on it. It's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: absolutely amazing to me anyway. I just wanted to throw
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that out there and to call out all the dopes
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: out there who piss and moan and bitch and gripe
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: about Jalen Hurts. Just shut up from here on out,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a bunch of fucks. I'm sorry. I can't. I can't.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I can't take it. Probably wouldn't be talking.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: About he started sixty five games. Yes, you guys have
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: against you guys, will he has started sixty five football
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: games and your team won forty six of them. Yep.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, Oh we don't like him. We don't throw her
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. Look, I mean I wish,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I wish, I wish there'd be more throws over the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: middle of field. But guess what.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Wins talked about it here?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, wins or wins though too and you know what
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a cohesive offense. That's saying something in this league too.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, we could keep going on and on about this
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: for an hour, but I did want to mention injuries
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: were a key in this game and certain guys not
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: being on the field. Josh Swett went out with an
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: ankle injury in the second quarter. Yeah, he did come
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: back in the fourth. Will Shipley not that he's necessarily
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a major contributor by any stretch, but he went out
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: with a concussion on special teams. Jordan Davis went out
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: at one point in this game. I mean he was
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he had to be helped off the field. Darius Slay
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: went out in the fourth, but he came back. There
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: were a lot of injuries in this game, and if
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: we shift over to the defense really quick, Matt, I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about one guy who was really having
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: an impact I thought in this game, which was CJ.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson nice interception right before halftime. It was the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: fourth of his season. At that point in the game,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: he was leading the Eagles team in interceptions. Then he
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: was ejected in the third quarter for his second one
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: sportsman like conduct penalty, right, and.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It was did you see what happened? I didn't know
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: what happened on the second one?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Has anyone seen what happened?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I would love to I would love to know. But
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it was significant Matt not having him out there on
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the field, especially in the first quarter when Jane Daniels
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: throw a touchdown pass to a lot of days of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: kas Tristan McCollum was out there out of position, seemed
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to be lost on that particular touchdown play. Uh, we saw.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: It, And I'm can we put to bed this idea?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You know that everybody's just so comfortable with this idea
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that like, if it's somebody's first unsportsman like conduct penalty,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and oh the second man, the second person to come
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: in and antagonize the situation, even if they get hit
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and their helmet gets knocked off of their body Oh,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: it's fine that it's the first, it's only their first penalty. Well,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of dumb ass is gonna
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: go what some idiot's gonna call in a quarter, right,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not to be able to control that,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: So don't call. Don't throw that that first one that
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: everybody saw, Yeah, where he had a guy basically swing
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: at him and knock his helmet off. He gets an unsportsmanlike.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, these refs, there's been. There's been some pretty
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: bad refereeing this year.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: There has been. There absolutely has been. But it just
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: it sucked that CJ. Gardner Johnson was not out there
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: on that last touchdown play. You had Tristan McCollum on
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Alamade's Cinicaiis instead of CJ. And it just it's stunk.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Not having certain key personnel out there really really meant
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a lot to this loss, quite frankly, and as I mean,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it meant a lot in terms of having you know
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: whether or not this team was gonna win or lose,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and they ended up ended up losing here. I mean,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: we didn't see all garbage necessarily in this game either,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. We saw a Christmas miracle
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: right off the bat. Now the Eagle. Look, we know
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are one of the worst scoring teams in
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the first quarter in the league, but not this this week.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: The Eagles actually scored a touchdown yes, on their opening drive,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: first one of the season. Then Saquon Barkley runs for
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a sixty eight yard touchdown the first quarter. Eagles led
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to twenty We're leading twenty one to seven after the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: first quarter. It was like the complete opposite of what
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: we have seen throughout this entire season, Matt. It was
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a Christmas miracle, my friend.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable, truly.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but you're absolutely right earlier what you said
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: about Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts and what both of
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: those guys and their intangibles mean On the field, Saquon
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Barkley became the first Eagles player to ever rush for
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: one thy seven hundred yards in a season. He did
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it today. No one has ever done it in Eagles uniform.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: We were watching history, which was awesome even given that
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: this was a shitty loss. But I mean, an interesting
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: stat that I read. I'm sorry, I forget who tweeted
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it out, but Saquon Barkley has four runs of sixty
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: five plus yards this season entering today, the entire rest
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of the league had seven. He specialized. But again, it
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: also goes back to the Jalen Hurts aspect of this too.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It does because the Commanders ended up really stopping Saquon
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in the rushing attack, you know, during the much of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the second, third, and fourth quarters.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I think you know, Saquon has been amazing. I think
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you can etch his name on the Offensive Player of
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the Year. That's his. They just mail it to his
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: house wherever he's living in back in Bethlehem or Allentown
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: or wherever it is around you. And and but he's
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: out of MVP with a law for with an Eagles
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: loss today. Today was one of those situations where Saquon
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: could have stamped it and said, like, sa Quon runs
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: for two point fifty, Eagles still win by ten points
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: with Kenny Pickett, you know, hit or miss right. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: today's the exact example why folks who say basically that
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the MVP is and should be a quarterback award is
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: because so many other factors are play. Now that Jalen's
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: out of the game, I can now load up the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: damn box. On every play, I'm bringing five. I'm bringing
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: at least five on every play, and I'm loading the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: box up with eight and I'm basically shut off, shut
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: off the running game. And so it's unfortunate, but one
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: hell of a season from sa Quon Barkley that continues.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: He's got two more games. I think if he rushes
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: for three hundred, what's he need? Jeff, do you know
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: that number on five? I'm not.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that I thought heading into well
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: at one point through the fourth I'm sorry, through the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: first quarter, I think he needed like another two hundred
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and fifty ish two hundred and forty somewhere around there
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to break Eric Dickerson single season rushing records. So I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: think there's a possibility that he could do it. Given
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the opponents of the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: over these next two weeks, I think it's possible.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: It would be great. It would be great. What about
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: breaking it against the Giants? O, boy, that that.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Would be sweet, wouldn't it be sweet? Yeah? Yeah, last
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: game of the season. That would be very very sweet.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I would love that. My gosh, do you have any
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: other themes? Buddy to get into here. I mean, I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: have a couple more with regard to some of the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: defensive side of things. But do you have anything in
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: particular you really wanted to hone in on.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: No, I think we covered all I think we covered
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: all that terrain.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to say, really quick in terms
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of defensive playmakers on this team. Of course, we know
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: how valuable Jalen Carter is. On the Commander's first play
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of their second drive, Jalen Carter strips Brian Robinson, Nolan
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Smith recovers the fumble. Pure dominance, and we saw that
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: dominance much throughout the first quarter. But then, of course
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt's getting hurt really just really threw a wrench
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: into everything. But I also wanted to say Darius Slay
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: as well, big play. Sligh really helping to set the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: tone early for the Eagles defense in the first quarter.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: He was a tone setter. And Zach b as well.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Once again, my gosh, give him a blank check. Give
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: him a blank check, Cowie. I mean, his fifth forced
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: fumble of the year. Constantly getting into the backfield. He
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: is great with regard to pressure, his pursuit of the ball.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: It never ceases to amaze me. Matt zach Bond should
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: be on this team long term if he continues to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: perform like this.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: He's doing like every time you see every time you
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: see fifty three, He's doing everything so technically sound. Yes,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I mean he's just so like. I mean, he's while
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: he's bringing the guy to the ground, he's punting at
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the ball yep, turning the guy's body to the right
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: direction so that he doesn't get any more yardage. I mean,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: just it is unbelievable what we're seeing from this guy
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: who was basically a special teams guy.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly exactly. It's it's it's something incredible to see
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: when coaches are able to take talent that is there
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: in a player and really apply it with the game.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: We're seeing that with Vic Fangio, and I think we're
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: seeing that with other parts of the offensive side of
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the ball where we're not seeing it from the offensive perspective.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I just want to mention real quick before we go
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to the break and before we get to our grades.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Matt Greant cal Katara is a complete liability as a blocker.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Dear freaking lord, they should have put Tyler Steen in
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to block since they weren't passing to cal Katara anyway.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Greg kl Katara completely sucked in this game. Holy shit.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I kind of told I mean, this was a liability
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: before the year started. And I continue to say it
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: for folks continue to say it. And I don't want
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: to be a hater. I'd hate to be a Debbie downer.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: If they have another parade, I'll be there. But I say,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: year after year, we're not gonna get seventeen from Dallas Goddard. Folks, Yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: we are paying this man, So we got to find
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: a diamond in the rough guy who's another pass catching
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Even if Dallas Goddard was healthy, cal Katara is not it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: He's a guy who can make a splash play here there. Yeah,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: he's not going to be some game changing guy. And
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: he was whiffing today on big plays that guys were pulling.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: He is. All he had to do was chip for
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: a second. He didn't even have to hold guys up.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: He was getting blown pass blown over. I mean, it
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: was highly frustrating.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: It was. It was highly frustrating. We're certainly going to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: get to our grades in a bit here, but before
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: we go to break two Eagles defense giving up five
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes. They certainly haven't done that in quite some time.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels for the Washington Commanders ended this game with
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: those five touchdowns that were thrown, just want to say,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the most since Mark Rippin when he did it in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. And Jayden Daniels pretty good, pretty good
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: against this Eagles defense. Yes, an Eagles defense that was
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: banged up throughout this game, have to point that out
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: for sure, but Jade Daniels is going to be a
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: pretty good quarterback for this Washington Commanders team well into
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the future. So yes, yeah, buddy, why don't we go
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to break and then we come back. We'll get some
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: grades that sound.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Good to you.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, all right, We're gonna take a quick break, folks.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: We'll be back in just a bit. All right, We
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: are back and again with our friend Matt Rodgers from
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the honorable mentioned podcast on YouTube and you can subscribe
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: on whatever podcast platform you're listening to us on as well.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Let's start with our grades here. Coming back from break,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: quarterback position. Boy, we like we know, Jalen Hurts went
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: out and only after four pass attempts, he had three
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: carries for forty one yards averaged thirteen point seven yards
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: per carry on those in the first quarter before going
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: out with the concussion. Kenny Pickett really kind of sucked.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: He was sacked three times, went fourteen of twenty four
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and forty three yards, one touchdown, one interception,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: average six yards per attempt. I'm gonna be giving Kenny
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Pickett a straight up C minus in this game. He
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: was not good. Did throw that touchdown that he's getting
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a's getting this like a seat, Well, I'll give him
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: C C minus. He's getting a C minus from me
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: actually because he actually threw a touchdown in this game.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know what do you give the quarterback play
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: this week?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I think you're spot on, Jeff. I think I think
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: what people who watch this game, you can pull these up.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: There are places online where you can just pull up
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: and watch the game film. So for people who are
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: game football junkies, what you saw today from Kenny Pickett
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: was NFL replacement level play at the quarterback position. Yes,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: not horrible, not good at times, good at times, horrible
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: at normal In this class, he got a seventy three
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: on the test. That's C C minus. I'm more in
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood. I'm calling this a c minas.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, That's where I'm going to go with it, all right.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Running Back Saquon Barkley twenty nine carries, twenty nine carries
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty yards, five point two yards
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: per rush, two touchdowns, as long as sixty eight yards.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Kenny p I'm sorry, Kenny, Kenny Gainwell, only four carries
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: for seven yards. He did a whole lot of nothing
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: in this game. But Saquon Barkley doing what he did,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: seventeen hundred total yards over seventeen hundred total yards on
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the season. He's uh, he's gonna be getting an A
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: minus for me. I'm gonna I'm not even putting Kenny
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Pickett in here with the running backs this week. No, no,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: not at all. But I'm gonna give Saquon Barkley an
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: A minus. Those are those are pretty damn good numbers.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: What do you give me?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah? But I got it. But it's the group. So
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going with a b okay, because because you're right,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: it was absolutely nothing from from from and this was
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: a game where we needed game well to break one.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, and I'm sure he was trying his best
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: that it's not about effort, but but he needed to
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: break a tackle. This was this is a big yat game.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: This was a spot for him and he came up
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: short today. So I would give Picket a d give
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Saquon an a yeah, I'll come. I'll it shakes out
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: for me with.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: The Okay, I'm gonna give Kenny Pickett as we move
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: on to the receivers here, I'm actually gonna give Kenny
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Pickett credit for something really like throwing to AJ Brown
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: because he tried fifteen times. Yes my god, yes, love
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: it fifteen times. But guess what. Aj came down with
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: eight balls. That's it, only about only about half of them.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Eight balls for ninety six yards average twelve point one
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: yards per reception, one touchdown. Davonte Smith targeted eight times,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: came down with six balls for fifty one yards, and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that's that's about it, folks. Kenny Gainwell caught one ball
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: for six for six yards. And I will say this too.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I wanted to get into this. I was thinking of
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: getting into this during our themes. But critical drops in
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the game in the fourth quarter from Davonte Smith and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, who was only targeted once in this game,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: dropped that ball. Yeah. If both of those balls had
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: been caught, this would have been perhaps a different outcome,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: quite frankly. I mean there would have been.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: First down, yeah, from two of their best players, from
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: from from maybe being on the way to finishing the
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: season sixteen and one exactly.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to be given the receivers this week,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: all of them here, they're getting a B minus from me.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: What do you give them?
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I go it would B plus. I really think it
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: took extra effort to do what AJ Brown was able
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: to do with Kenny Pickett.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in a category of his own today.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: He really was AJ Yeah.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, and if it wasn't for some of I
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: mean some of these some of the calls, there were
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: more personal fouls than were called. Yeah, and minus that
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: AJ Brown statistics might have been absolutely ridiculous. I mean
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: we might be talking about, you know, sixteen catches for
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a buck eighty and three touchdowns if it wasn't for
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: all of the damn holding from LA I mean, why
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: would somebody pay that guy again? I mean, I could
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: go out there tonight, Jeff, if people want to meet me,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not too far from the field over in Maryland.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Somebody could wait for you know, I'll just go and
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: grab wide receivers and just ride with them all the
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: way down the football field. If if y'all are auditioning commanders,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: if you're listening, I'm down of six ' four, not
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: as fast as I used to be, but I can
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I can do what Latimore was doing.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: It.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You can do.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: You can absolutely do it. I've seen, buddy, I have
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: seen you. Okay, you're nice and I got some lank
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to you. You can be able to get up to
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: catch point. You and Marshawn Laddimer, I you know you're
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: mad and ratings should be higher.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, based on today's Yes, based on today it says
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: more about him than it says about me.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, all right, Well let's move to the offensive
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: line here. Offensive line, I mean it was it was
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: rough with regard to the rushing game in the second,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: third and fourth quarter, but like in past pro I
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: thought they actually did a pretty good job overall. I'm
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: gonna give the offensive line a B today. What do
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: you give them?
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Me too? Me too often in the in the running game.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I kind of give them, not a mulligan, but kind
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: of a pass because of the ends crashing down. I
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: think if Jalen was in there, they protect they run
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: blocked well enough for us to have run for two
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: point fifty. But it's not the same dynamic without Jalen
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Hurts in there. So the pass protection was was worrisome though.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, they were loading up but it was obviously
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: that they were loading up the box. They weren't even
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: be they weren't disguising the blitzes right, and they had
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: a free rusher every time Kenny was under pressure. I
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: do got to give credits. We've thrown a couple of
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: shots his way warranted, albeit, but he was under pressure
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: every snap.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Basically, it wouldn't surprise me when we see the stats
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: after this game if Washington blitzed eighty eighty five to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: ninety plays, seriously, it wouldn't surprise.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Quinn was like, screw it, take it, beat me.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, yeah exactly. So I think that's why you
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: got to give some grace to the offensive line this
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: week too.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah you're right, you're right, you're right, Yeah, you're right.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll go with the b beat. Okay, sounds good.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: All right, let's move over to the defense, defensive line again,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: not having not having Josh Sweaton there for part of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the game. Jordan Davis going out, this is a team
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: or there's a team. This is a unit that ended
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: up only with one sack today, four tackles for a loss.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: There were only two quarterback hits. Jade Daniels. He is
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: a good good passer. He's a good passer. He went
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: twenty four to thirty nine for two hundred and fifty
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: eight yards, averaged six point six yards per attempt, five touchdowns,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: two interceptions. Look, Jane Daniels, very very good quarterback for
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a rookie, and it was it was a tough day
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: for the defensive line. I thought, you know, they did
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: bring the pressure, but Jayde Daniels, he was able to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: escape pressure. Alle in this game. I'm going to give
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the defensive line this week of B minus. What do
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you give them?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Wow, it's I arrived at the same places. It's really
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: frustrating because they were pressuring him all the time, but
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: he was so slippery and they were not finishing. I
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: think that they were rushing too far upfield and then
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: he was Jaden was making very smart, good plays and
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: just stepping up in the pocket what they teach young
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks to do. So I'll go with yes, B minus
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: B minus sounds good.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: All right. The linebackers, you had Zach Bond with twelve
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: total tackles led the team. NI Kobe Dean actually tying
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: him with twelve total tackles as well. Zach Bond two
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: tackles for a loss as well. Linebackers performed I thought
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: extremely well in this game. I'm going to give them
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a straight up A what do you give them?
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Same? Excellent every week. Weird to say it, but it
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: is kind of set it and forget it. If you're
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: a fantasy person. It's like we're gonna get a level
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: AA minus level linebacker play. It's it's really nice.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Look, I know we just talked about the defensive line,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: but again, Nolan Smith, I think doing some really good
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: things in this game. We had three tackles, but he
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: had one sack on the day. He was the only
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: only guy with the sacked and a one quarterback hit there.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: So I gotta say, Nolan Smith still continuing to develop.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: We're still seeing good stuff from him. So I wanted
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to throw that out there. Let's go to the secondary
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: here sucks the CJ. Gardner. Johnson was was ejected from
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the game. Tristan McCollum, filling in for him, read blank
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and ship with an interception Darius Slay, Like I said,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: really helping to set the tone for the defense, I
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: thought early, even though the defense was just getting gassed
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: by the end of this game. I'm actually gonna give
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the secondary in this game because I really think they
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: did a decent job. I'm gonna give him a B plus.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: What do you think could be any too?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I want to give I want to give them a be.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: But then I'm looking at the scoreboard. I'm looking at
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: the box score, like, how do you reconcile that? Jeff?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's it's it's it's it's tough.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: It's tough when, yeah, when Jamison Crowder is catching two touchdowns,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: granted he is, yeah, granted, Granted, Jamison Crowder only had
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: fifteen touches or fifteen yards on the day. Terry McLaurin
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was sixty yards. Uh, Diami Brown with fifty six yards
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: on the day with I mean was the chaus though
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: he's picking up those yards a lot of the yes.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Along was that forty nine yard er which was complete
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: broken coverage. Slagh was getting off the field. There was
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: twelve men on the field at that point, a penalty.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: It was a mess. Like a lot of days. A
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Chaus had the majority of his yards based on that
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: play for the touchdown. So I don't know. I actually,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: like I said, like B plus, I think is actually
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: pretty fair for the secondary, given some of the injury
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: situations some of the guys they didn't have out on
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the field with the especially with CJ. Gardner Johnson, I'll
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: grudging grudgingly give them a be okay BECAUSEJGJ went out. Okay,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: we're not You're going to see trist In every week?
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Thank god.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I'm worried to see too much of trist In now,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah I am.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because they were picking on them. They were they
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: were picking on them, and that's what happens in this league.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: You know when you were when you're the next man up,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: you are going to be getting picked on likely. So yeah,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: let's move to coaching and let's get into special teams. First.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Here opening kickoff, boy bradon Man just didn't kick the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: ball into the landing zone. It was a penalty. Gave
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the Commanders a really good field position, to start the game.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I've never seen that to open a game. I've never
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: ever seen that.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen it all seasons since this whole
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: dynamic kick kickoff bullshit has been in effect. Here, the
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Commander started off the forty yard line. In fact, I
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: think the Eagles special teams kicking unit continued to give
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the Commander's great field position on the little every in
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: this game. Every time, yes, every single time. And we
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: had Jake Elliott missing a fifty six yarder just a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: little bit short. But then he made his first fifty
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: yard field goal of the season in the fourth quarter,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, yes it was I'm thinking, Okay, he
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: was able to step up in a big spot. Maybe
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: he hasn't necessarily lost it. And then we see on
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: special teams that penalty on Sydney Brown on the last
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: kickoff of the game, which which sucked. I mean, Bradon
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: man like his punts were not good throughout at the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: course of the day. Special teams had a tough day today,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give him a C plus in general,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: what do you give him?
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I'll give him a straight up. See, Okay, it's kind
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: of like a left tackle, right tackle It's like, I
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: kind of don't want to see from you all day.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: The more I the more I'm hearing your name unless
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: you're like pancake and a guy like a corner, Like
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: if I don't hear Quinnyon's name all day. That was
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: kind of probably means he was doing a good job.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Which I think he gave up. He gave up his
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: first touchdown I think of the year to uh, to
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, I think gave it up the first I think.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I just want to throw that out there.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah so so yeah, I mean in a similar vein,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking of too many instances where I'm thinking bad
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: special teams play. So I'll go with c Okay, I'll
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: review it further, I'll send you updated.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It sounds good, sounds good, sounds good. All right, let's
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: head over to Vic Fangio and the defensive coaching this week. Man,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: it was just it was kind of it was just
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: kind of brutal in certain situations, again given injuries. Giving
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: the fact to CJ. H. Gardner, Johnson was ejected as well, Uh,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna give him a B minus this week,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: just given the situation so you don't have Jalen Hurts
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball helping you out.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Your defense is gassed, you know, heading into the fourth quarter.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a B minus. What do you
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: give Vic van Joe this week?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I gotta give him a.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Thinking in the Sea area because of the Sea I'm
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: thinking in the Sea area now that I'm thinking about it,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I may go there too. Maybe C plus here, C
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: C plus.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: You're not holding when it's oh gosh, and then and
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: then this is you know, they went to Tampa. It
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: got lit up down in Tampa. Uh. These these playoff
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: NFC low level playoff NFC opponents now who have cooked
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: the Eagles defense this season? Who if if Philly you know,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: ends up, you know, needing to go to Detroit, Detroit's
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: gonna feel very comfortable that maybe outside of Philly that
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: this defense isn't the same unit. So I want to say, see,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think I think I was not impressed. I
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: can't say that I came away from this game feel better.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'll go with the C plus because you know, you
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: put thirty six points up on this Eagles defense been
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: number ones over the past basically ten weeks in the league.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: You know that. Yeah, it is pretty significant, you know.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I mean I will say too that. I mean, this
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: is a team though, that that did beat a prolific
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Steelers team last week. They took it to the Ravens
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: as well, So they have to beat some pretty good teams. Yes,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I think we need to keep that in mind as well.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: You know, we do have these games that are outliers.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: It is the NFL. These are pro teams, professional athletes.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's end things here with the offensive
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: coaching Matt Nick, Sirianni, Kellen Moore, they were probably just like,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: damn it shit when Jalen Hurts went out, like I'm
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: freaking yeah. To be honest, I was actually gonna say
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a minus. I was gonna say a minus when you're
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: able to get when you're able to sustain some drives
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: here and there with your backup quarterback and like you
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, made some good plays, made some bad plays.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: You know, there was some plays he made, you know
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: in the middle where it was little lucky here and there. Yeah,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you know, yep, you you're only as good as what
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: your talent is on the field as well, So I
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: think a for me for for the offensive coaching staff
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: we had.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: We had a few of those third and medium, third
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: and long that Kenny Pickett kept picking up. It was
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: really impressive at times, and I think that a lot
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: of that came down to them being able to scheme up. Yeah.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Sometimes Kenny was just flat out missing throwers that were
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: first downs yep. And then and then that drop, that's
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: minty drop. I think he'll have a great week next week,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: but that one's gonna haunt him, just like the Saquan
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: one did against the Falcons on Monday Night football. So
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: that will be talked about and he'll talk about it.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: He'll take accountability, yep.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. All right, Well, that's going to do it for us, folks.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: To those of you who celebrate Christmas, we hope you
• 34:57
