The DiCecco Daily Postgame Pod: Takeaways, Locker Room Insights From Eagles 22-19 OT Loss To Chargers · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on everyone? Welcome into another edition of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the czech Odaily. It's Andrew de Checo, Eagles Beat reporter
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Friendsidethebirds dot Com, and I'm recording this podcast live from
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: SOFI Stadium in Inglewood, California, as the Eagles fall to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of twenty two
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to nineteen in a game that pretty much featured just
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about everything you could think of. But let's get to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the extra period here, because this was the first time
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that the Eagles were able to have a game and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that went to overtime that they were playing under the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: new rules, which means that each team had a chance
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to possess.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: The football, and.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So they were noted at nineteen at the end of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: regulation and the game extended into overtime. So I talked
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: about that was the first opportunity the Eagles had to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: play under the new rules. The Eagles called heads in
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: one and they elected to kick. The Chargers drove thirty
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: four yards on six plays, but the offense stalled, resulting
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in a fifty four yard Cameron Dicker kicked to move ahead.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Then the Eagles possessed the football at the thirty one
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: yard line. But then a failed third and four attempt
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to wide receiver a j Brown down the left sideline
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: set up a fourth and four with three twenty three
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: left to play in the extra period. Then a neutral
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: zone infraction afforded the Eagles a first down. The Eagles
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: appeared to be driving for the game winning touchdown, but
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt's throw to wide receiver Johan Dotson was deflected
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: by cornerback Cam Hart and picked off by safety Tony
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Jefferson to steal the game. Hertz tossed a career high
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: four interceptions in this one, and he was also responsible
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: for a lost fumble. While things appeared bleak following the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Hurt fourth the Hurts fourth quarter interception too hard. Jake
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Elliott answered the Chargers thirty one yard field goal with
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the connection of his own from forty four yards out
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to give the Eagles a nineteen to sixteen lead, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it appeared that the battle of attrition upfront for the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Chargers was enough to stall Drives at the end drive
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: short of the end zone, but Dicker drilled a forty
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: six yard field goal with twelve seconds remaining to draw.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Even at nineteen to send the game into overtime.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Heurtz completed twenty one to forty pass attempts for two
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards and four interceptions. Running Back Saquon
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Barkley turned out one hundred and twenty two rushing yards
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on twenty carries. Real quickly, before we get into the game,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: breakdown some of my takeaways. Inactive for the Eagles outside
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: linebacker josh Ushe, quarterback Sam Howell, cornerback Mac McWilliams, running
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: back AJ Dillon, right tackle Lane Johnson, and defensive tackle
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Jalen Carter.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Ahead of Tonight's game or Monday's game, the.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Eagles activated safety Marcus EPs from injury reserve and elevated
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: safety Andre Sam from the practice squad. Epps takes the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: roster spot previously occupied by wide receiver Xavier Gibson, who
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was waived on Sunday. For Sam, Monday's game marked his
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: second elevation of the season. Okay, let's get into some
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of these observations. The Chargers won the opening toss and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: they elected to defer, and it brought the Eagles offense
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: up first. They opened with an empty backfield with Barkley
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: alliance of a left the running game stalled at first
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: glance with Barkley gaining only three yards on two carries,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: but it picked up obviously taekwon eclipsing the one hundred
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: yard threshold there is great for the Eagles. Then there
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: was a nine yard sack taken by Hers on a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: third and four, but on that play, running back Tank Bigsby,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: who got a pair of snaps on the opening drive,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was aligned out wide to the right.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: There were some positives for the ground game thereafter.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And I think it's important to note that Tank Bigsby
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: n will Shipley, as they sort of alluded to going
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: into this game, had roles and Diggsby only had one
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: carry for four yards. Will Shipley had one reception in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: this game, but the Eagles did work them into the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: rotation and get them on the field. And I thought
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it was notable that Tank Bigsby was at times aligned
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: as a receiver. So they're getting a little bit more
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: creative with Nick Sirianni helping Kevin Patulo in the game plan.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Kevin Patullo, by the way, still calling plays.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: The Eagles still fell short, but there were opportunities in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: this game to make plays. Marcus Epps started the game
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: at safety for the Eagles as expected, Justin Herbert and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the Chargers offense and made good use of the defensive stop,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: but it led to a six play, eighty yard march
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that was fueled by a sixty yard catch and run
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: down the left sideline from Herbert to running back Commani Vitel.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Based off the initial watch, it looked like Vitel put
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the Eagles second level in flux, but Amari and Hampton,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the other piece of the one to two punch, rilled
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in a four yard touchdown on the drive.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: That cover two minutes and forty nine seconds.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: The Chargers would it would be tough sledding for them
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: for the remainder of the game. They could not punch
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the ball in and the offensive line they were down
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to their third right tackle after Trey Pipkins, the second string,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: left the game injured did not return, so they're in
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: shambles there. Justin Herbert I can't say enough about the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: way that he played tough, putting the game in his
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: hands when he was playing the game with a fracture
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: he had just had surgery on it a week ago,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: calling his own number and just doing whatever he could
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to extend drive, especially when the offensive line was breaking down,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and the Eagles defense did a tremendous job bottling up
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Kamani vital and Amari and Hampton a week or longer
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: than a week, but after getting gashed by the Chicago Bears,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: which has been well documented at this point, but this
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: defense almost like they sensed blood in the water and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they did a fantastic job of doing their part to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: try and keep the offense in the game long enough,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately they weren't able to do it. The Eagles
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: offense did not answer the bell in this one, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to help offset the absence of defensive tackle Jalen Carter,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the Eagles used Brandon Graham and Jalen Phillips inside at times,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: particularly Graham aligned inside on the Hampton touchdown and Phillips
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: on the free play that resulted from an offside penalty
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: called on defensive tackle Moro Jomo, which wiped away a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Cooper Degene interception. Rookie ty Robinson worked in as well,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but it was notable to see Vic vangel Of mixing
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and matching his interior personnel.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: This was a really tough adding for Jayalen Hurts, who
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: struggled seeing the field.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The raigning Super Bowl MVP frequently appeared flustered and merely
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: didn't see open receivers. On a third and five from
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the Eagles fifteen in the second quarter, it appeared Hurts
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: tossed an interception to Charger safety RJ. Mickens, but it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: was determined the ball hit the ground, so the Eagles
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: instead were forced to punt. Later in the quarter, on
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a third and two on the Chargers twenty one, Hurts
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: threw an interception over them to a defensive lineman to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: sean hand on a perfectly executed simp pressure. Then Eagles
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: running back Will Shipley forced the fumble on the tackle
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: recovered by Hurtz, who then had it jarred Lewis by
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman Jamari called Well, and then linebacker Troy Die
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: recovered it for the Chargers, so Hurts was officially tagged
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: with two turnovers on the same play. It was a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: curious decision to opt to not opt for the push
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: play or the traditional quarterback sneak with Hurts. Hurts was
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: again picked off on the ensuing drive by cornerback Dante
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Jackson when it appeared wide receiver DeVante Smith fell down
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: or was knocked down, returning possession to the Eagles at
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the Chargers thirty.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: He threw another in the fourth quarter, this.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Time the heart firing high over the middle to AJ Brown.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: You can make an argument that the pass should have
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: been caught.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: It was a pass that AJ would have gotten absolutely
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: lit up.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: It was a high.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Ball he normally catched that. That was one of the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: plays that Aj after the game said that he wishes
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: he could have had back. Another one being the early
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: deep shot in the game where I think it was
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: cornerback Tarheeb Still that had him down the sideline. That
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: was one of the other plays that he mentioned. The
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Eagles defense, I can't say enough about what they were
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: able to do. They delivered an inspired performance doing the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: heavy lifting for an offense that again struggled to move
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the football. For a perspective, the Eagles defender's knife threw
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a poorest Chargers offensive line to the tune of seven
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: sacks and the interception. They got to Herbert on several occasions,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but were unable to corral him. Strong showing across the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: board from a unit that has been swarming and on
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the attack for most of the season. Obviously, the Black
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Friday game against the Bears being the outlier, but second
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: year outside linebacker j loox Hunt may have been the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: team's most impressive performer on this night on the defensive side,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: collecting two and a half sacks and setting the edge
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: with physicality. I like the play call, design and execution
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of the Eagles fourth quarter touchdown. On a third and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: one from the Eagles forty eight, the team lined up
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: for their signature push play.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, this one had a twist.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Instead of Hurts burrowing forward, they pitched it to Barkley,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: who searched through en route to a fifty two yard
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: touchdown down that left sideline. Great blocks on the play,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: by the way from wide receiver Darius Cooper and tight
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: end Dallas Godder, especially Darius Cooper, who it gets lost
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in it a little bit, but he has done a
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: really nice job on those push plays, blocking and doing
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: some of that grimy and dirty work that Johnny Wilson
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: used to handle.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: So good stuff there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Vic Fangio last week acknowledged that he should have found
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: some snaps for rookie linebacker Johad Campbell, who failed to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: generate any defensive snaps a week ago, the first time
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that's occurred all season. But on the third defensive series,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Campbell aligned opposite Zach Baughn. Here's one a high quality
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: showing from cornerback adri Jackson, who defended a pair of
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: passes and was secure in his perimeter tackling. Herbert tested
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: him a handful of times, but Jackson answered the bell.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: My Bowl prediction, as I mentioned to fellow Beat writers
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Martin Frank and Ed Kratz, was that Jackson would snare
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: at interception this week, his first of the season and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the first from an Eagles outside cornerback since Keighley Ringo
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: accomplished that feat Christmas Day twenty twenty three, A Dory
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: stepped in front of tight end Ronde Gadson looks like
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: he read the route and he credited the defensive line
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and after the game when I spoke to him, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that was just a big time play. He gets a
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: lot of flak, a lot of heat. I think a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: lot of it's unwarranted, and he's a survivor.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Vic Vangio said it best.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: He's really turned things on and stepped up to the spot,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you know, stepped up to the moment when he's had
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: his you know, of late, and I think he doesn't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: get nearly enough credit. But Dori Jackson I thought was
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: one of the other defenders who had a really strong
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: knight that wasn't a pass rusher, and Jackson returned possession
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to a sputtering Eagles offense at their own forty five,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: but Jake Elliot missed a forty eight yard field goal
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: wide left a couple of really untimely penalties for Moro Jomo.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: As previously mentioned, I may have mentioned the third year
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: defensive tackle was called for an off size penalty that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: negated a Cooper Dejine interception, but a Jomo was also
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: called for a leverage penalty on a Cameron Dicker thirty
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: six yard field goal in the third quarter. Though the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: renewed life proved fruitless with the Eagles light on interior
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman, I thought third year pro Byron Young had
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a really nice game, rebounding nicely following a game that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: was arguably his and most of his defensive teammates low
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: light of the season against the Bears. He plugged the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: run and notched one and a half sacks. I spoke
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to Young last week I wrote a story for Inside
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the Birds dot Com, and he conveyed confidence and poise
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and anticipation of his expanded role. Good on Byron Young
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: for seizing his opportunity. I also thought that Jalen Phillips
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: had a hell of a game, setting the edge with violence,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: playing with urgency, like his hair was on fire. There's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of times where he missed Justin Herbert, but
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: he was around the quarterback like shark, like a shark
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in the water, And I think that when you look
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: back on that, I have to go back and watch
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the tape, but it looked to me like Jayalen Phillips
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: had an outstanding game.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, one thing that always scares me is the latest
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: financial scam. And with the holidays, it's all about finding
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the perfect gift. But this time of the year, not

• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Andre Sam his third quarter kick coverage tackle on returner
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Kamani Vito was his first recorded stop of his career.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Night Monday Night was Sam's third NFL game. I mentioned
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Tank Bigsby. Tank Bigsby factor quite a bit into the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: backfield rotation early, but that persisted throughout the evening, something
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I figured would happen to mix in different personnel and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: offer different looks. Bigsby, as I mentioned earlier, even aligned
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: some out wide, but he only had one carry for
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: four yards. Shipley also worked in a little bit at times.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: In terms of time of possession at the break, there
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: was a noticeable discrepancy between the Eagles, who had eighteen
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: forty three and the Chargers, who had the ball for
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: eleven minutes and seventeen seconds. This would shift dramatically in
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the second half, and a lot of that had to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: do with turnovers. But for an Eagles team that was
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: sputtering offensively for most of the season, what they could
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: hang their hat on was that they protected the football
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and they played a little bit conservatively, if you will,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: because when you're protecting the football, you have the luxury
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: being able to play that style. But five turnovers from
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: your quarterback is not going to win you very many games.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And this is not the first week that jaywen Hurst
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: has been prone to turning the football over, which is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a stark contrast to the style of play to the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: player that he's been throughout his tenure as the Eagles
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback. He was accountable postgame, as he always is,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: saying I need to do a better job.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: It hurt. He said, this stings, but how are you
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: going to respond?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: That's been his messaging about, not about what happened, but
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: about how are you going to respond to what just happened?
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: And there was a lot of I I need to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: do better. I need to do better, And.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: There's so many different takeaways from this game it's hard
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to pinpoint just one. We talked about the defense playing
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: gutsy and lights out taking advantage of a porous.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Chargers offensive line.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: There was the gutsy play from Justin Herbert late in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that game to even give the Chargers a chance when
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: they could not move the football and.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: He was running for his life on it seemingly every play.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: The Eagles running game got.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Back on track with Saquon Barkley, and it was tough
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: sledding on the first drive, but the floodgates started to
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: open a little bit, and I thought that you saw
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: shades of the Saquon Barkley of old. AJ Brown goes
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: over one hundred yards, but there are a number of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: plays where he wasn't able to connect with Jaywen Hurts.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And after the game there were three different plays that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: he listed as ones that he would like to have
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: back again.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Very accountable. There's no finger pointing here.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: And I think the offense, while it struggled early on,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I thought later in the game, particularly throws over the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: middle to Dallas Goddard, there were some rope throws that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Jaywen Hurts threw along the sideline. It seemed like they
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: started to get into a rhythm when they get up,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: when they start running tempo and things like that. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: don't think the game plan or the play calling is
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: something that those should be pointing, you know, looking to
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: when you're trying to find an answer as to what
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: went wrong in this game. This one comes down to
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: execution and turnovers. Had the Eagles not turn the football over,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: they turned it over one too many times. But had
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: they not, they played well enough on the defensive side
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: for them to be able to uplift the rest of
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the team and give the Eagles a narrow win. It
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have been pretty, but it would have been enough
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to win the football game. So what's next, Well, the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Eagles return to Philadelphia. Now they have the Raiders coming up,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: which should be a get right spot where things are
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: going to start to get rectified and they should be
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: able to win convincingly. But they you know, every every
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: single team is you know, it's an NFL team and
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: they get paid too, So you can't take any team lightly,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: nor have the Eagles taken any team lightly, And they're
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: gonna have to get back on the horse and get
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: things rolling because the games are dwindling and you want
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to be playing your best football.
• 18:57

  Speaker 1: But they have the leaders, they had the coaches to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: do it. This is in my estimation.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: I believe that they have the necessary pieces. It's not
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: going to be easy. No one said it was going
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: to be easy.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: And if you thought it was going to be easy
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to just kind of steamroll through the NFL, even with
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the talent on this roster, you were gravely mistaken.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Every year is its own unique entity.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: And you're seeing right now that the Eagles have now
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: been they went to the head of the NFL to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: now they're sort of along the same lines of all
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the other teams, and they're going to have to navigate
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: through that, and they have the talent, so I believe
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the talent will ultimately prevail.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: But that's going to do it.
