• 0:52
  Speaker 1: are we doing?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: What's happenings?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a little bit of a small crowd
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to start, but I'm sure. Wow, look at Frank with
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the glasses on, not in the ten top, Holy cow,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: must be a special day. All right, we'll get Eddie
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in here and then we'll get started. In fact, why
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: don't we start off right now?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: We'll go to Chris.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Chris is first up tonight on Ask Greg Kosel.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Hey, how's it going?
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Greg?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I appreciate your breakdown. It's nice to have those before.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: We asked some questions, so that answered most of my
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: offensive questions. So I'm kind of hoping now that we've
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: had four games, how Jlyx Hunt has been looking in
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Zidarius Smith. Just kind of wanted to see your thoughts
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: of them and how they're kind of adapting to get
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: the changes to the defense this year.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Gee, you didn't want to talk about that explosive Eagles offense.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: It does seem like they're contractively obligated to run on
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: first down.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I think they're contractually obligated not to throw the football
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: for any yardage. So you want to know about Darius
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Smith and Jaelix Hunt. Was that your question?
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just wanted to see how they're especially Daly's,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: how he's developing or lacker of I don't know.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, your thoughts so I guess is his past rush
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is probably developing, maybe a little more slowly than they
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: would like because he's obviously big, he's physical, he's a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: really good athlete, but rushing the quarterback is his There's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a there's traits to that, not just being a great athlete,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and obviously in his background, other than his last year
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in college, he really hasn't done any of that, So
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I think he's still a work in progress, and I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: think that's one reason why he often doesn't play on
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you know, in past situations. Z Darius Smith. I noticed
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: him on film. You know, he's he's a good pass rusher.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: The thing about watching guys rush the quarterback is you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: can't just go by sacks or quarterback hits, you know what.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I what.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes the balls out because of the nature
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: of the the play call by the offense. You know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: if it's three step drop timing or five step drop timing,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you're really not going to get there, certainly not for
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: as an age rusher. But Smith is is he's got
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: some speed to power. You know, he's just a solid
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: pass rusher. Is he one of the best in the league. No,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: But I think they got him. I'm not saying they
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: knew about Nolan Smith. I don't know, you know, in
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the building, if they knew Nolan Smith was gonna need surgery.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But I think they probably got him more so because
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: j Alex Hunt was probably not coming along quite as
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: as they hoped. I still have great hope that he will,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: just because he's, you know, really good athlete, and I
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: think he has the traits to do that, and he
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: has showed it on occasion, but it's not there yet.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Is there a reason that you're seeing on tape why
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: we use so much two by two instead of like
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: three by one with Aj like isolated?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, if there is, I certainly don't know it,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And again I don't there's no way you'd have to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: chart every play to find out if that's indeed true.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Certainly J Brown is a boundary X type receiver that
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: can win one on one. What I have been surprised by, Paul,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: quite frankly, is that they've not thrown him the ball,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: with the exception of the second half of Game three
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: against the Rams, they've not really thrown him the ball
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: when he's been the isolated receiver. And you know, that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: has been surprising to me because that's one thing they've
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: done really, really well over the last number of years.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You could almost always count on that. Now, I thought
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: this week they tried to do that early. They on
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the first possession, they threw him, if I'm not mistaken,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a deep ball on the first possession. They came back
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to it a number of times. You know, they actually
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: threw a go ball to Brown on the third play
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: of the game. The Bucks were in cover one Dean
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: was matched on Brown. It was it was really good coverage.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: It was incomplete, but I think they threw Jeff maybe
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you remember, I think they threw three vertical balls to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Brown in this game, of which none of them were complete.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So you know, we'll see if they They've done that
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: well over the years, but obviously in this game it
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: didn't work. But you know, Brown is a true boundary
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: X and it's not just a I mean, he can
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: win all kinds of routes.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: My question is, is I had the thought knowing that
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Cam Jurgens got injured in the playoffs in January and February,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: and he just hasn't looked like himself yet this season.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I wonder if there's a connection there. And I don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: know if there's anything on tape that might lead someone
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: to infer that, but I'm just wondering if there's anything
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: specifically that you've seen on the tape on Jurgens that
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: might illuminate what's going on with them.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Jeff, did he have surgery this offseason? I think he did.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: He had back surgery right after the Super Bowl.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: That's right. He well, I can tell you at Travis
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he hasn't looked the same as he has, you know
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that he did last year. So you know, again, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: can't tell you why that's I couldn't answer that part.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But he certainly has not looked like the same player,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and I don't think he's played as well, and neither
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: is Landon Dickerson, who I know is unfortunately his body
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: may be falling apart. Land In Dickerson. In fact, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: feel for him when he's forty five years old. He
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: may be one of those guys that can't get out
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: of bed, you know, I feel. But I mean you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: mean when he's my age, Well there you go. But
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: so those two guys, Jurgen's the center and Dickerson the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: left guard. To me studying tape, you know, without charting
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: every single play, obviously, I just don't think those two
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: guys have performed at the same level.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Hey, fall is planting season. Did you know that many
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: plants and trees actually do better when planted this time

  Speaker 3: So my question is about Killey Ringo so I know
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Vic talked today and you could see it on the
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: TV copy itself looked like he kind of struggled in
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: open space in regards to tackling, but in regards to coverage,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: which I'm sure everybody had. You know, right, there are
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: reservations on I wanted to get your thoughts because again,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: they didn't really it was more or less the Quinny
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: on Mitchell show. It felt like Tampa Bay kind of
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: targeted him bizarrely a little bit more than Killy, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: just wanted to get your thoughts on how he played.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I was truly surprised. Frank, we talked about this last night,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Jeff Adam and I that they didn't really target him
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: much at all, and I got to tell you, I
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: was surprised by that. So, you know, again, I watched
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: him on pretty much every play, and there were a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: lot of plays where he was kind of a non factory.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You know, he didn't really need to do anything. He
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: certainly didn't get beat over the top. He really didn't
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: get beat badly in the game. So there was no
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: play where you went, ooh, that's really bad. So obviously
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the cornerback coach for the Eagles, because they have a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: cornerback coach in the safety's coach is obviously charting every
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: play and going over what he did well and what
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: in their mind he didn't do well. But I don't
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: you know, he certainly didn't hurt the Eagles defense.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You're all around in tier offensive line play. How do
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: we look this week, sir?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: About the same? Not very good overall, not very good.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It's not been good. So you know, I mentioned I
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: might have mentioned the stat last week, but but Barkley
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: is near the bottom of the league and that he's
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: only gaining one point eighty seven yards on average before
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: first contact, so he's not getting past the first level
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: of the defense. And say what you want. You know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: there are times he could do better, but it's not
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: really his fault per se. They're just the blocking is
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: not there, you know, believe it or not. The guy
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: who's worst is McCaffrey. McCaffrey, it's one point five to
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: seven and he's you know, they're not running the ball
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: well at all either. So it's it's been a problem.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It's been a problem with the blocking upfront, and it's
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: going to need to get better because ultimately, look, they're
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: four and oh and it's you know, they're winning games,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: but offensively they're you know, I spoke to someone in
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the building this week and we were saying that, you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you're four and o without an offense. It's pretty remarkable.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, how does that work? You're four and oh
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and not being sarcastic, I mean right now they're not
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: running the ball and they're not I mean, Hurts is
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: averaging one hundred and thirty eight yards passing per game.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's they He was oh for eight for
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: no yards in the second half this week. So just
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: think about that for Let that settle in for a minute.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: I did want to ask about the linebackers. I thought
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: that I thought that they both played extremely well, so
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: I just kind of wanted to see what you thought
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: what you're seeing. I just feel like they're as Jahad grows,
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: I feel like they're gonna be really a really good tandem.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: So that's kind of why.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. The thing that always stands
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: out when you watch their linebackers, and this is what
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you want, is those guys are really athletic, and they
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: just the way they particularly Campbell. Campbell's even more athletic
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: than Bonn he's just, you know, close to being a
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: freakish type athlete. He's only going to get better and better.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: And Bonn is just a really good football player. He
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: sees it, you know. Once you hear coaches talk about
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: a lot. Eddie with defense is particularly when you're off
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the ball. Obviously it's different for d lineman, but if
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you're an off the ball player, you just got to
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: see it the right way like Bond sees it. Macouba
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: just sees it fast. You got you got to be
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: able to see it fast because if you have to
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: think it through, then you're then you're late. And Bond
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: just sees it and he's he's just a really good
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: player in all areas.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: All Right, everybody, thank you so much, Greg, thank you
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: very much, Scott, great question. Yeah, we'll do it again
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: next week.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks Jez, Thank care.
