  Speaker 1: this coming Thursday. I am Warren and I'm here at
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: my good buddy Len Hunsicker. Len, good to have you
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: on the postgame show. Boy man, this was a routing
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: by the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: My man, yeah, well, I mean tail two halves because
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I felt vastly different at halftime than I felt by
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the end of this game, much better now than I
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: did at halftime when I was unleashing some some swear
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: words like this this team while the television, So yeah.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I would It's interesting. I put up I put up
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a tweet or in a post on threads earlier today,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and I was like, man, sometimes us Eagles fans, we
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: complain about this Eagles team in games, sometimes so bad,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and then we got to look at teams like the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: New York Giants, you know, we're just terrible.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: The Dallas Cowboys are on They was saying that too,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and yeah, you know about I don't know if it
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: was about our found fan base or just me maybe
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: national perception of the Eagles in general, but even the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: commentary was like, people talk about this team like they're
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: four and four or something, they're six and two coming
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: into this game, like they're they're you know, they're a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: good team, and we definitely do that. We definitely, I
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: think as a fan base, are guilty of like every play,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: oh they suck if you know, if it doesn't get it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And I know I certainly was guilty of it during
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: this game in the first half.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Well, there was some first half nonsense that did happen,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: which we will get into, but I wanted to start
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: off this postgame show len just coming down on the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Cowboys because they deserve it. Screw them. I hate them,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: we all hate them in the Eagles Nation and I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: just want to throw out this stat that I had
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: read online. For the first time in NFL history, a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: team has trailed by twenty points or more in five
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: straight home games, including the playoffs, and that happened today
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: when the Eagles were up twenty eight to six on
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The Cowboys this past week had been tied
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: for the longest streak. That longest home home streak they're
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: losing by twenty or more points with the twenty thirteen
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen Raiders team when it was four in a row.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So this was one of those games len for the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Eagles where they pulled their starters with twelve minutes left
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. They absolutely killed the Cowboys. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: love that stat too, because you know, Cowboys Nation is
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: absolutely reeling at this point.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Couldn't happen to a better franchise.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yes it could, It couldn't. Well, we've got Jalen Hurt scored.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt Hurt. Why don't I put the s on there?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Is he related to William Hurt or what's happening here?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, his fiftieth rushing touchdown of his career happened in
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: this game. You know, the ups and downs of Jalen Hurts,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: which we're going to get into. In fact, I guess
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that's one of my themes right off the bat here, Lynn,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And it is consistently, week after week we talk about
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. He's had some real fantastic games, he's had
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: some real dumpers of games too. But there's something here
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that I want to call the Jalen Hurts conundrum. How
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: he's been handling pressure, and it's this back and forth
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: kind of story here. Take, for instance, in this game,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in the first half, Jalen Hurts was pressured on thirteen
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of twenty one first half dropbacks. That's sixty two percent.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: That's the highest pressure rate that he has faced in
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a half in his entire career. Now, during those during
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: those dropbacks, he completed five or six passes for one
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: hundred and one yards a touchdown. Not bad not bad
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: rate there. However, the conundrum here is that on those
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: plays also we saw five sacks, we saw that horrendous fumble.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And then I think, as we're still trying to assess
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts here after all these years that he has
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: been playing quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, there are interesting
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: aspects of his game that we can still dissect to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: say he's a fantastic player and he's still continuing to grow,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but he's also a player who desperately needs to work
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: on certain parts of his game, and I'm not sure
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: some of those parts of his game are gonna get
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: figured out. You know, we've talked about on this show
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a lot how Jalen Hurts his Jalen Hurts, But then
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: again we see when he is under pressure. He's been
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: doing better things, much better things this season, and then
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he'll have some hiccups here and there too. So you know, good, look,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you have a Jalen Hurts is able to take control
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of the game like he did on the drive towards
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the end of the third quarter. You were talking about
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the tail two halves here, you know, where there was
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a design rush that went for a touchdown. What a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: beautifully drawn up play, and that touchdown was Jalen Hurts'
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: tenth rushing touchdown of the season. So what we're seeing
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: here with this Jalen Hurts conundrum, it's been really interesting
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to look at and dissect to see where his game
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is at right here in twenty twenty four. So that's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a theme that I have. I don't know if you
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: have any response for that at all.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I want to get your thoughts on something, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe you can make the case for that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: conundrum over hurts throughout the course of the season. That
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: would certainly paint a bigger picture. But I'm just talking
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: about this game. There were and I noticed this is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: maybe this plays into detail two halves that we're talking
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: about here, but that stadium when it's like the middle
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: of the day and you're staring at the one at
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the end zones, yes, it's just like glass and it's
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: just it's like you're in a coma and God's telling
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you to walk towards the light. It's that bright. Yes, yes,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And I don't think it was just the Eagles. Like
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: there was that one pass that was thrown to Ceedee
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Lamb in the end zone and he didn't like really
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it looked like he couldn't see it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And gave he gave a hand motion over his his
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: advisory was wearing like I couldn't see it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's both sides of the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: stadium where it does that, but I think it might be.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I think at that time of day might because at
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: first I'm like basically yelling at the TV, like, God,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: this guy, so what's he doing? And then like in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the second half, I was like, well, the shadows aren't
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: there and the light isn't there. Maybe maybe these guys
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: just can't see. And my question is that if that's
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the case, how does the NFL, which micro manages every
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: aspect of its league, how do they let a stadium
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: get built where the blinding light of God is looking
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: at you square in the eye and you can't see. Like,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: how did they not go to Jerry H. Jones and say, hey,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you need to find a way to close that up
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: during a game that's being played, you know, at that
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: time of day, like.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: When people have they have they've actually gone to the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Cowboys and said, listen, during games, we know the sun
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is going to be there. You have to have some
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: sort of shade, some sort of some sort.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Of silver down.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: They refuse to do it. Why, Well, it's not it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: not the NFL, it's it's Jerry Jones and the ownership
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. It's their stadium.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: But it hurts their own team time.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Isn't it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Would? I know?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It's so bizarre. Our buddy Dave actually sent a text
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: out on another thread that I'm on with him with
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: some with some of the crew we hang out with
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: up here every now and then, and Dave was like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it's funny because you never see that other than maybe
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in baseball, and it's rare with all these new ball field.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: It looks like late afternoon when the shadows from the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: light light stanchions are creeping in over home plate and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: it's sunny on the mound and they're in the shade
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and home plate and you're at the plate and you
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: can't see, you know, one hundred you know, or a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: ninety mile an hour pitch coming towards you. You you
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you just cannot see. And honestly, I think I don't understand,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: like even they don't even use it because I think,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: like I said, it was both sides of the field,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and if that's a case, like I could see if
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: they're using it as a home field advantage where one
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: side of the field is like that, right, and we're
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: going to make sure that at that time of day
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: we're always going we we have that at our backs.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I could see if you're using that as an advance,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: but I don't think that's what it is.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is either, because it had about.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's doing then, Jerry Jones, I
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: don't know why you would do that. I don't understand,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure that there's a lot of people that
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: are Cowboys fans, that have been longtime fans of the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: organization that could probably say to me, yeah, there's a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: lot of things I don't understand about what Jerry Jones
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: is thinking. I'm I'm sure they would line up and
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: tell you that at this point, especially with the way
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you know that this season has gone for them. Absolutely,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I just that man that blows my mind. And the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: fact that the NFL and I look, you know, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: know he's he's very powerful, and he's the owner of,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: you know, the biggest brand in the NFL and all
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: that stuff, which the Cowboys probably are still the biggest
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: brand in the NFL. So maybe he can tell them
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: to go screw. I don't know, but I would just
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: think that the NFL would say, hey, this is happening. Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It amazes me that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys front office.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You know that they have all the money in the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: world to create Jerry land down there yet yet this
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: billion dollar sports complex, it's it's majestic creation that it is,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: has this flaw in it, this tendency to blind players,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: even on his own team. But I think it goes
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to show how incompetent the Dallas Cowboys have been, even
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: though they've been like a quote relevant team for quite
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: some time. Len, I think the organization itself is just
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: very incompetent in a lot of different ways. Take for instance,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: on the field today, and this is just like a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: tiny little thing, a little microcosm. You have the Cowboys
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: benching Cooper Rush in this game, bringing Trey Lance in,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and we're like, all right, well, let's see what Trey
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Lance is gonna do. Maybe it'll start eating up the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Eagles defense, and you know, because they're not prepared for him.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And then Trey Lance is only in for two who
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: plays Cooper Rush then comes back for like another series
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: or two, and then he's benched again for Trey Lance.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Like it's just this bizarre confluence of failures and you're
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: trying to reach for something and never quite get to it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: You create something, but you don't do it and follow
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it all the way through. Like that's this is what
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: this Cowboys organization is. And whether you're talking about Cooper
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Rush or Trey Lance on the field and not being
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: able to put freaking curtains up in your stadium so
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: your your players aren't blinded, there's a lot of incompetence
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: going around, buddy, there really is.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Well, first things first, yes, Cooper Rush, like Cooper Flush.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I had to joke at you, so oh. And then
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the other thing, like.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Mccar always horrendous?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: How is this I sat there and I just watching
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: his cut out for a second.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: What did you say? How does this guy what you
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: cut out? Damn it?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I said, how is this man employed? Oh? Yeah, okay,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking at his at his at his meaty face,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and I'm looking at like you said, down twenty points
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: five straight home games, and I'm looking at numbers like
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: five turnovers, yeah, six points, And honestly, like I there
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: have been seasons like I think the Lions row in
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: seventeen one year. Yeah, but man, it's been the long
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the team play offense got. These guys are so inept, yeah, Like,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, they are bad at every aspect of all
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: like they are. And you know, look, I don't think
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Dak Prescott's the greatest quarterback in the world, but god
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: damn he is. He is light years better than these
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: other guys. They have always.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Listen to this. Cooper rush thirteen to twenty three for
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: forty five yards. He was averaging two point yards per attempt.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Per attempt.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the plaque. I guess it's
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: play calling because it's you know, but I don't.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Know about that. You got receivers going down the field.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: You got Yeah, it's a perfect storm of crap. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: mean both, you know, coaching and execution. I'm sure, but
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I just I watch that and I'm like, man, especially
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: in the first half, I was like, man, if the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Eagles are playing any other team, they'd be losing right now.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: But I just how much that thought crept into my
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: head today. I cannot believe how a nept this Cowboys
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: offense is. It is. It's unlike anything I've seen in
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: so long I can't even remember. Like they are bad.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: They're really bad. It starts with the offensive line too.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: You know, they when they let certain offensive linemen go
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: during the off season, and they're relying on some rookies,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and they're lying on some bad This is what happens.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And when you don't have Jeff Staltlin either. Because the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Eagles offensive line, for the woes that they have had
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: this year, and they certainly have had some, Jeff Stoutlin's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: that type of coach that is able to take somebody
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: like Fred Johnson and really turn him into an above
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: serviceable left tackle filling in for Jordan Milatta for all
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: these weeks. I mean, he's not the best by any stretch,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean there's some Fred Johnson's pretty rough
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: in pass protection sometimes, but he's not costing this team
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the games like this Cowboys offensive line and it trickles
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to the quarterback for them, has cost them so much
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: they are horrendous. Yes, the Eagles came into this game.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I forget what the I forget what
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the line was in terms of them being favorites. But look,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley didn't have to rush for one hundred and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: forty yards in this game. He rushed fourteen times for
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: sixty six yards. He averaged four point seven yards per attempt.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: But overall, the team, along with Jalen Hurts, will Shipley,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell as well, rush for one hundred and eighty
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: seven total yards. It was a collective rushing effort and
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: when Jalen needed to pass the ball, which he did
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: twenty times, he was fourteen to twenty for two hundred
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and two yards. He averaged ten point one yards per attempt,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, one interception. He was sacked five times in
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that first half, not in the second half at all,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: but overall thirty eight total rushing attempts by the Eagles.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: They're a rush first offense, and I love this. I
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: love the way I love where this offense is gone.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: When I love it after ten weeks of play.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just good, you know, being able
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: to see Hurts make that play that he did, score
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the touchdown, and then Barkley you just see him, especially
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: in that second half. I think he was hurt for
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a little while on the first half. Yeah, but you
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: know towards the end of the game when they're you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: kind of salting it away, just him ripping off like
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: nine ten yards at a time. Yep. Yeah, it's it's
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: fun to be able to watch that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: It is it is. Let's move to the defense another
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: theme here, you know, before we get to our break
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: real quick, and I don't know if you have any
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: other themes too, but look, coming into this game, the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Eagles led the NFL with thirty three points off of turnovers,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and that was over the last three weeks. I mean,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: this really has been such a well coached defense over
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the past month. Pointing out, yes, that the competition hasn't
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: necessarily been the greatest competition in the world, but for
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: what it is, it's I think it's impressive. Nonetheless, these
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: are NFL teams you play, who's on your schedule. The
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: turnaround from this defense len from where they were at
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: during that Tampa Bay game earlier this season, where they're
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: at right now, it doesn't get much better than this
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: with this defense.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they definitely have come on. Man it you know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say this and Jinks things, but man,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: it looks like those two defensive backs if they drafted
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: at the front of this year's draft, man, they got
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: a couple studs. Because I both Mitchell and Degene made
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: some plays and have been making plays, you know, throughout
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the season. Yes, but and they're they're they're both really impressive.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I really impressive.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Quinnon Mitchell, man, I mean he is a damn good
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: cornerback man. He is he barring any injuries long term
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: or anything, he is good. He is going to be
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: fantastic in this role moving forward once Darius Slay is gone.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And uh, it's I can't believe how he did it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: But seriously, how was Cooper de Gene also there in
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the second round for them to take How that happened?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: God? Yeah, that's That's one of those things where you know,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: in a couple of years when name your favorite you know,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: sports publication that you read when they were they do
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: the red Draft. Yeah, you know, three years from now,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: you know, both those guys will be going probably a
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: lot higher than they did.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Look, the Dallas Cowboys offense weren't on the field
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: too much, but even when they were, I mean, there
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was three sacks from this Eagles defense, five tackles for
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a loss. There were seven passes defended, quarterback hits, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I do have to say this to Another theme for
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: me is the fact that Zach bonn Na Kobe Dean
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the linebackers of the future. Holy cow, these guys have
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: come on strong this season. They are playing some damn
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: good football.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Win.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, they are playing really good, especially Zach Bond.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, dude, get him a contract. Howie signed.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a guy they should sign like tomorrow or yesterday.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Even in terms of extending him. Dean had had a
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: real good game too. I should have had another interception
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: that hit him right in the hands. But you know what,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: you know, what are you gonna do? It's that's that's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: netpicking at this point. It's there's a part of me
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: it's like, how much was the Eagles defense being good
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: versus the fact that they were just playing perhaps the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: most wolf of offense or one of the most wolf
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: of offenses in the NFL. Right A good point, I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: don't know, but but I mean, listen, you gotta give
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: credit where it's to. The defense played a phenomenal game.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: They did. They did interesting how Jalx Hunt, the rookie
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Jalx Hunt was playing ahead of Bryce Huff in this game.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You know, coaches last week said, you know, they were
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: just trying to you know, they were just trying to
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: preserve Bryce Huff a little bit, you know, nothing to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: be concerned about with him moving forward. This week, Jalx
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Hunt is getting in on the action and quite frankly,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: disturbing some stuff in the backfield. Jalx Hunt not that
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: bad of a pass rusher, not terrible at all. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: mean it doesn't really say it on the stat sheet, but.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: He got a hand on Uh yes, it might have
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: been that play where where Dean could have got that could.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I think it was ye.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he got a hand up on that and deflected it.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: And look, you know, we we've kind of been negative
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: towards Bryce Huff, you know, for for good reason earlier
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: in the year. But he had a you know, he
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: contributed today. He had a sack, he had a tackle
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: for loss. You know, he was and they're doing stuff too,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: so you know, it looks like maybe something's turned around there.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, coaching or whatever, but he contributed
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: today as well, so that should be mentioned.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Tush push. They did it one time today, first
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: quarter at the goal line, their first score of the game.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Just len past two Eagles postgame shows. My guests and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I were talking about just how, you know, the tush
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: push maybe getting figured out, So I wanted to be
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: fair here. It was used once in this game on
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the goal line and it worked. So glad to see it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Glad to see it still working and that the Dallas
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Cowboys woeful team didn't stop it this week, but it's
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: something something I think we may be talking about a
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: little bit more in the future if the tush push
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: is getting figured out, which has been here and there
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: in some games, and its effectiveness still obviously effective, but
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: how much and for how much longer it's going to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: be effective? Not one hundred percent sure, but I just
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: wanted to mention that to some folks because we've been
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: talking about on the postgame shows and.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: They have, like I know, last week against Jacksonville they
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: had they were in toush push formation and kind of
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: like did did a different kind of run? Yeah, so
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I think they are maybe becoming a little bit cognizant
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: of that themselves, and maybe they're gonna throw some variations
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: and they're just to keep it in the back of
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: other team's minds hopefully, which so hopefully that plays into
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: it some too.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Are right, well, buddy, do you have any other themes
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: that you wanted to get into, But you know, before
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: we head to break here and then get to the grades.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I mean it just that you know that that's stat man,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: five turnovers versus six points for the Cowboys is yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, and and just hopefully you know the Eagles players,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: you know, they're all buddy buddy after games, Hopefully a
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: bunch of them went over to Michael Parsons and said, hey,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you know, Dak got a ton of money, CD got
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: a ton of money. I don't know if they're gonna
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: have money for you. And even if they did, do
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: you really want to be part of this right? Come
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: on home?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Hopefully, hopefully that that conversation, even if it was in jest,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that conversation was had after today's game off the field, yep.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Look, folks, before we go to break here, Eagles
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: three hundred and forty eight total yards on the day
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to the Cowboys one hundred and forty six yards. The
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles had twenty four first downs in this game
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to the Cowboys eleven eleven. That's it, folks. So we're
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break here, We're gonna come back.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get into our grades. Stick with us, all right,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: we are back, lenn Is with us, and we're gonna
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: get into the grades. Each unit of the Philadelphia Eagles
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: on offense and defense a quarterback this week. Dude, I
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: look a tail of two halves for Jalen Hurts for sure.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I mean the interception was terrible and quite frankly, Dallas
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Goddard should have at least tried to break up that pass.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: There was the ability for him to do that, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it was Look, it was jayl Hurts is it was
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: his first interception thrown by him in five games here,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: So Dallas Gotter kind of stood there watched to happen.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Then again, Jalen Hurts probably shouldn't have thrown that. But
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: if I had to give Jalen Hurts a grade, which
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: we're gonna obviously do, I would say at the end
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: of the half it was like C minus for me.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: After the second half, I'm gonna go up to a
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: straight up B for Jalen Hurts this week. I'm not
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: gonna do Kenny Pickett. Even though he got in and stuff,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: he really didn't. He wasn't a factor.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: He was there to hand the ball off pretty much exactly.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm given I'm given into the quarterback position this
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: week of B. What do you give? What do you
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: give Hurts? In the in the quarterbacks?
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I think B is fair. I mean it's really hard
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: to rag on a guy when he threw an interception
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: the first time in five games. Yeah, whether brow is
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: bad or not, it's just like, okay, you know, what
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: are you gonna do. My only thing is, dude, don't
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: hold the ball so long. Don't be afraid to just
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: throw the ball away.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Every which we saw in the second half we did. Yeah.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: So and again I don't know how much the you know,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the you know, the vision, you know, was it was
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: an issue. I think that could have been a legitimate like,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the more the game went on, I was like, man,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: that might have really been part of the problem there. Yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: But still I think he tries to maybe make something
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: happen too much sometimes and sometimes you just got to
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: give up on a play. And then I think that's
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: that's something that would would help him a lot, and
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: just you know, you got to give it up sometimes.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: So but outside I think it be is a very
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: fair grade.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: All right, Let's get into the running backs. Saquon Barkley
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: will ship Lee Kenneth gain Well. As I mentioned earlier,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley averaged four point seven yards per attempt in
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: this game. Is long was only eleven kind of weird?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I say, only eleven kind of bizarre for Saquon Barkley numbers.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You know, we're used to that six yards basically averaging
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: per carry per game, but it just didn't need to
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: happen in this game because there was one hundred and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: eighty seven total yards with all the rushing. Kenneth Gainwell
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: averaged four point three yards per attempt, Will Shipley averaged
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: three point eight yards per attempt, you know, and the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: running backs did what they should have done in this
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: game here, they should have done it well, well over
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards on the day from them.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give the running backs and a minus
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: this week, buddy, What do you give them?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it was a you know, good game,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: not a great game by any stretch, but I mean,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know, they weren't needed as much, like you said,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: you know, nobody got like any any amount of carries
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: that would make you say, oh, workhorse. You know that
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: didn't happen. I say, b plus, I mean, it was good,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It wasn't great, but you know it didn't need to
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: be today.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's move to the receivers and tight ends. You've
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: got aj Brown who was targeted seven times. Came down
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: with five balls for one hundred and nine yards. He
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: averaged twenty one point eight yards per reception. Johan Dotson
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: getting one target, he came down with it for twenty
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: seven yards. Dallas Goddard back from injury, three targets, he
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: caught two of them for twenty five yards, and then
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Davonte Smith with also having three targets, coming down with
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: two balls for only fourteen yards. In this game, I'd
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: really like to see Davonte Smith getting more involved with
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the offensive game planning in John. He's such a damn
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: good receiver and I just don't think they scheme around
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: him enough. Lynn. It's that that's troublesome for me, it
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: really is. And look, they dominated the Dallas Cowboys. They
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: didn't need have Davonte Smith out there, you know, But
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: seeing him on doing like mesh concept plays, I actually
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: get like very excited about it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, it'd be nice to see him
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and him and AJ Brown kind of go off the
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: same time. Feels like one of them does and then
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the other one has a quiet day, and today was
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: AJ Brown's day. It was nice to see you mentioned
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Goddard on that interception, which I agree with you one
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: hundred percent. He should have gotten in there. Yeah, but
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I mean it was nice to see him kind of
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: get back into the swing of things with a touchdown.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Only targeted three times, but he caught two balls, So
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: well great. Yeah, uh, I'll go I'll go be. And
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: that's largely on the strength of aj Brown.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was going to say too, you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: because I feel like the running backs and the receivers
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: in this game, I felt like, for some reason, more
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: was on Jalen Hurts his shoulders, you know, how he
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: went and how he played half by half, that's how
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the trend was going to go with regard to the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: ground game and passing game too. So I'm gonna go
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: be with the receivers and tight ends.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And and I'll say this, you know, it was
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: he's only targeted once and he caught it and it
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: was a touchdown. But I would mind seeing a little
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: bit more of Johnny Wilson. Yeah, you know, I think
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: there's there's some areas, especially in that red zone where
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: you know, with his frame, you know, maybe or maybe
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: if you uh kind of just need a couple of
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: yards for a first you can on a crossing rounde
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: or something. You know, I feel like you could you
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: could use him, so yeah, but yeah, I would say,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: be all in.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: All sounds good. Hey, Johnny Wilson, possible tight end too,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: He's got the size.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: He really does about it.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's move to the offensive line.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line in general had a really
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: good game. Those sacks with Hurts, I mean it really
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was like just him holding onto the ball for way
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: too long, not getting outside of the pocket, poor pocket
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: management on his part. But I'm giving the offensive line
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and a minus this week. I thought they did a pretty
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: damn good job. I really do they They helped, they
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: helped this team to win this game. What do you think?
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine with that. I do you know,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think when when it's five sacks, I don't
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: know that it's always on Hurts. I mean, I'm sure
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: there's a couple where, you know, I would say most
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: of the time he's probably the culprit in terms of
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: holding onto the ball too long. But I'm sure there
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: were one or two in there that, you know, Okay,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe the line kind of just let somebody throw. Yeah,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: but I think overall is strong game. I'll say B plus.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, B plus, all right, let's move over to the defense.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: The defensive line again, like the sacks weren't completely there
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: this week, only three on the day, there were five
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: tackles for a loss. You had what's his name, Rico Dawdle.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: He carried the ball twelve times for fifty three yards.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Wasn't a great day for him or Zeke who only
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: averaged three point seven yards per play this week. So
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I thought the defensive line did a pretty damn good job,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: just like the rest of this defense has been really
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: on fire over this past month. So I'm actually gonna
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: give him an a minus this week. They doesn't have
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to really show like the numbers on the stat sheet, Len,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: but I think just the dominant way that they were
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: playing and just being disruptive, I think it's a minus material.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think Jellen Carter had a nice game.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Milton Williams in the first quarter had a nice fulmer recovery. Yep,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: you know, we mentioned you know, Jelex Hunt. We mentioned
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Bryce Huff as well, so it felt like kind of
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: everybody was getting in on it. Yes, So yeah, I
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: think I think they had a nice game in general.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm in agreement with the A minus.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: There, right, even Nolan Smith having a tackle for a
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: loss too. Love to see that he's been developing this season.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: So all right, Well, the linebackers, I'm gonna give him
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: a straight up A this week. It would have been
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: an A plus if Nikobe Dean had come up with
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: that interception that seemed to be rating his hands there.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I know, a little awkward with him up in the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: air the way that he was, but I'm giving him
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: an A.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Zach Bond and na Kobe Dean have been fantastic to watch, Lenn,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: What do you get? What do you give the linebackers
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this week?
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think A is fair and I don't think
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I think by the time that plane lands they should
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: have a contract in front of Bond. Yes, I mean
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I really I think he's he's had a really nice year.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Man, absolutely absolutely. All right, let's move the secondary and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna get into some coaching grades. I'm gonna
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: give the secondary here because they held Ceedee Lamb to
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: twenty one yards on ten targets. Ceedee Lamb caught six
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: balls and look, I mean we talked about it. The
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Cowboys offense is terrible. Their quarterbacks were terrible. Jake Ferguson
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: had five targets for four yards. He was their leading
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: receiver with twenty four yards. They are rough, rough, but
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that's because the Eagles secondary played lights out today. They're
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: getting an A from me. What do you give them?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, straight up A CJ. Gardner. Johnson had a couple
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: of nice plays and gave me a big hit early.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I thought Quinny and Mitchell had a couple
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: of passes defense. He had a really nice game. Cooper
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: de Jean was Johnny on the spot with Zeke's fumble
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: there in the end zone. Yeah, I mean, men, that
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the difference between last year and this year. And again,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I hate to say something that might become a jinx,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: but the feeling that we had towards the secondary from
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: last year to this year is it's just night and day. Hey. Yeah,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Slay had a decent game too. I don't want to
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: leave him out. He had a nice game as well.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: So yeah, all in all, I mean, just all the
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: way around, A for the secondary.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Slay had two passes defended today. Fantastic. Seriously, when
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: your cornerback has two passes defended. That's a damn good day,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: it really is.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh absolutely, And no tackles.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: No tackles, by the way, you love when your cornerbacks
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: aren't tackling. Yep, yep, all right, let's move to coaching.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: We are going to talk about special teams. Look, Eagle
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: special teams in the first half were an absolute disaster.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: There are flags, some bad punts by Braden Mann. Eagle
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: special teams were not too too good. They ended up
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: getting some things together. Of course, Jake Elliott doing a
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: pretty damn good job, as he has for me the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: most of this season. He was two for two on
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: the day as long as thirty nine. Bradon Man did
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: have four punts on the day average fifty two yards,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: which inevitably ended up being pretty good stat numbers for him.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give special teams a straight up B plus
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: this week. What do you give them?
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Elliott, I think we kind of just
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about a guy on the team
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: that I think everybody just takes for granted at this point, Yes,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I would put Jake Elliot in that category, but yeah,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: nothing like super awesome. I know, Degene had a really
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: nice punt return. So yeah, I'll say B plus I
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: think is fair grade sounds good.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: The defense, the coaching by Vic Fangio and company. When
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: you are holding a yes, a terrible Dallas Cowboys team,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: then again only to six points, You're just getting consistent
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback. Your defensive backs are just holding
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: down the fort, making sure one seeded lamb is not
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: going nuts and going off. When they needed a rebound
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: game and this was going to be it, and it
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: didn't happen at all. The rushing attack was virtually stopped
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: less than one hundred yards rushing by the Cowboys because
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: of this Eagles defense. I'm giving Vic Fangio and what
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: he drew up for this game and a plus, Lynn,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: what do you give him?
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't like giving out a pluses because yeah,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: because you know, I feel like that should be reserved
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: for a special situation, but I think this might warrant it. Yeah,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I really they shut them down and you go over
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: this Dallas Cowboys offensive stat line and you cannot find
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: one guy on here that you could honestly say had
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: a really good day. So yeah, I mean they they
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: shut them down every way that you could shut a
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: team down, so a plus all right.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Offensive coaching Nick Sirianni Kellen Moore, Kellen Moore heading back
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: to Dallas in this game. Overall, I think they drew
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: up a pretty damn good offensive game plan. Hurts had
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: some hiccups as we know in the first half, which
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: we discussed, but I think from an offensive game planning
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: standpoint and them understanding and knowing that Jalen Hurts has
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: been doing much better under center. We have been seeing
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: this the past three games. He's been under center more,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: He's been able to manage the game. I'm not saying
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: he's a game manager, folks, but I'm saying he's been
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: able to manage the offense a lot better being under center.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: And they've been implementing a lot more motion these past
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: few weeks as well. We saw a lot more motion today,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: not as much as I would like, but still it's there.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get the offensive play calling an A
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: minus this week? What do you give them?
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean it probably felt great for god None,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I'm having a brain fart coordinator Kellen Moore, Ya, Kellen Moore, Yes,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Scott lose In my mind here, it probably felt great
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: for him to come back in there to Dallas and
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: be able to do this and put up the points
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: that they did and play the way that they did.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: And you know, anytime Nick Sirianni doesn't take points off
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: the board with his gambler decisions is a good day
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: in my book. Yeah. So yeah, I'm I'm fine with
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: an A minus there as well.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: All right, I just want to mention this before we
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: had out Buddy and and our postgame show here sa
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley, who I mean, he's from my area, the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Lehigh Valley here in Pennsylvania. He had his very first
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: victory down in Dallas since he has been in the NFL.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: So kudos to him.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Oh really, I did not realize that.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, very first victory down there. I felt like
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: it's been forever since the Eagles have won down there. Seriously,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the last decent game they had, I think was twenty
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: seventeen down the well.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I think because they were showing a graphic like as
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: the game was about to kick off that was like
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: something's got to give, and it was I think the
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Eagles hadn't won in Dallas since twenty seventeen. Yeah, versus
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: you know that the Cowboys just getting their blow their
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: war is blown off at home four times in a row.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that was the like something's got to give
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: here today. Yeah, it happened to be the Eagles, you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: breaking that losing streaking Dallas.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, all right, Well that's gonna do it for our
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Eagles postgame show. You got anything else, buddy, No, no,
• 37:20

• 37:25
