• 0:04
  Speaker 2: the team. A lot of energy going forward to finish
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: the season off right. We still got a few games
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: ahead of us, but I think for now, we've got
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: to enjoy this win.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: You know, guys, guys played great.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Guys stepped up where they needed to step up, and
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: uh we got away with the win.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: They were able to.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Get touchdowns on the first drive up the half.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: First tap the second half.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: What did you see for the defense?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Are just different in regards to how you guys responded
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: compared to the recent weeks where he guys were able
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to finish off.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think mindset wise, we bended but didn't break.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: You know, you could tell guys were like locked in.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: You know, they had some really long drives on those
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: opening possessions like you just said, and you know, I
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: think guys were doing their thing, but you know, they
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: just did a little better on those drives. And guys
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: weren't hanging their heads and feeling defeated or anything like that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: You know, we I felt like we were competing out
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: there today and guys were just communicating and playing off
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of each other and just kept it rolling.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: You played with Julian out for a while to see
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: him have four turnovers sports over the last two games,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Like what was that say about him? The kind of
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: player he is, and then how big big he.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Was for you guys tonight.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he was. He was a huge role
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: for us tonight. And like you said, I played with
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: him since he was a rookie, still with him now
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and uh, for me being an older guy and seeing
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: him develop as a player has been amazing. You know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: getting the ball out on that last play was crazy.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I mean I probably was the biggest fan for Julian tonight.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: And also you know, I think he takes a sense
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of pride and special teams as well. He's been killing
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it on special teams as well. And uh, you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: that's a big time third down.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: You guys had.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: You're able to keep Galens form scrambling that one way,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Jared's able to stop him on.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The other side.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: It's as big a play as you guys can.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Have to come through in that moment. I mean, he
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: kind of walks.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Through that play that you guys were able to get
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: off the field and he drop off this gin.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that was a big play. I think
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you know Hurts, we knew he was gonna hold the ball.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: He's gonna try to make a play. You know, he's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the head of the offense. They want the ball in
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: his hands that you know, in those types of situations.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Mafe ended up coming inside on that plane he rolled out,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So I think I did a good job of chasing him.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You know, he cut back on me, but I think
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that's like a good thing for me, is to make
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: him cut back to my defense. And like you said, uh,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you know j Reid was there to to pull him up,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and you know, on the back end, they did a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: good job of staying in coverage as well.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: My fake gets crashed down there.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: How many times have you seen her to do exactly
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: what he did, go outside and get a first down
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: and you anticipating that's what he was.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Trying to do there, Yeah, exactly.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: You know, I played against the Eagles, my you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: for a long time in my career.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I played against Jalen Hurts for a while.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You know, this season he's held the ball the longest
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: side of any quarterback. Uh So I know, especially in
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: those type of situations, he wants the ball in his hands.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: He's going to hold the ball as long as possible,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: try to let his receivers get opened down the field,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, in those situations, I knew he
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: was going to hold the ball and I felt it
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: just kind of just played out perfect.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You know, I thing for someone directly in the trenches.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: What makes Philadelphia's properly shot play so just so difficult?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Man, I don't know. They do a good job of that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I think a big part of it has to be
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: my a lot of you know, he's an ex rugby player.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: He must have taught them something about a rugby scrummer
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: or something like that. I don't know, that's pretty hard
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to stop.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: The defense when you get that, stop get the offense ball.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That was it like watching that and go down and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: get the game when they grow up. I mean that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was huge.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, I seriously felt like a fan in
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that situation, Like I just I couldn't do anything to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: help out. I'm just on the sideline, I'm just watching,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I must have just felt like
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a fan of my heart was racing. I wanted it
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: for its so bad, and uh, you know, I think, uh,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, Drew Locke did a great job driving them
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: down the field and they punched it in when it
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: mattered the most, and uh, you know, the whole sideline
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: got pumped, and you know it was a great win.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think he just showed his character. You know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: he's a good leader. You know, he stepped up in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a big, big time game. And I think you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: even before this game, you could tell when Gino went
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: down and he stepped up, the whole team had his back.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know we didn't, you know, skip a beat,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and everybody was there to support him. Uh, he had
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the whole team support and you know he led appropriately
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: anything else.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you,
