  Speaker 1: We are up and running with the latest edition of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Birds Weekly presented by the inside of the Birds Network.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: For my main man, Barrett Brooks, I'm Derek Gunn. Barrett,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of stuff to cover from this
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: fiasco against the Rams, a game the Eagles had a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: chance to win. The Rams initially gift-drafted the game to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, and the Eagles returned the favor and gift-drafted
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: right back to them. First of all, your general impressions
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of what went down.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: My general impression is that the 20 points were just
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: fool's gold. You know, they were put in great positions.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: You know, the defense, you know, got them down there close.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And then the punt return got them close. I just
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: think this offense is not something that sustains drives. I mean,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and everybody's screaming, you know, oh, you know, they, nobody
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: really knows. Everybody's saying they know, but they don't know.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Nobody.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't blame it on Jalen. You can't
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: blame it on Mannion. You can't blame it on anybody, really,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: but the offensive line. I said they could take blame.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: No matter what you call. Until the offensive line plays better,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you're not going to be able to go.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: And I understand there's a lot of buys and a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: lot of different positions. But, you know, you get paid
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to play. You know, if you get the opportunity to play,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you got to play. You got to play well.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: With that said, we go inside the lines, and let's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: stay with the offensive line for a moment. An hour
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: before kickoff, we find out that Lane Johnson, because of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: personal reasons, bowed out of this game. And all of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a sudden, a rookie, who's a behemoth of a man,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: by the way, 6'9, 345 pounds, finds out he's starting
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: at right tackle. If you were in that position, what
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: would you initially be thinking? If you're a rookie... You're
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just going out there to go through the game warm-ups.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You feel you're going to be sitting on a bench.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you find out you started right
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: tackle replacing a future Hall of Famer, and you're going
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: up against the Fast and Furious Rams defensive front.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: You just got to play, man.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: No excuse for it. I've had it happen for me before.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I've had it happen for me.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Okay. It was– oh, my goodness. When was that?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: It was like year three or something like that, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: we're going up and we're playing– against the Green Bay Packers.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, from out of nowhere, I
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: was back up there. And then they told me, hey, Brooksie,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you probably won't even dress this guy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I won't even dress? What are you talking about?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, I dressed every... I can't believe they weren't
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: going to dress me. I'm like, why aren't you dressing me?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? They gave me no excuse
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: or nothing. You know, well, you know, we're going to go...
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I said, all right, cool. I mean, that's what you
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: want to do, Aiden.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Far be it for me to want to go out
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: there and play, but I'm cool with it. Long story long,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I get a call at 5.30 in the morning.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Hey, get up. Get up. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go, Brooksie.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Let's go. We ain't got time. Let's go. You got
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: to play. You got to play. I said, Ray. Ray
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Rose was my coach. I said, Ray, you called me
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: at 5.30 in the morning.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, the coach just told me that I'm not even
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: dressing until now I'm starting.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I said, I'm not wearing it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Right tackle, that's how warm I started. Right tackle, let's go.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You got to play right tackle. I said, oh, oh, okay,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Coop got Reggie-itis.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: He got Reggie-itis. I said, what the hell is Reggie-itis? Reggie-itis.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Reggie White. The minister, you know what I'm saying? I mean,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Reggie White, you know? So, I mean, I had to play, man.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: And it, I mean... You know what I mean? The
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: young boy didn't have to play against anybody like Reggie
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: White or anybody. But, you know, you get.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Pushed into playing, you know, that's why they drafted him,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: so he can play. So he went out there, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I will say this. He played well for the first
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: two seconds of every play. First two seconds of every play,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: he played well. Got his stance, boom, popped out there,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: got his hands on the guy, locked the guy out,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: block him and everything. But then he gets around two
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and a half, three. When he thinks the play is over,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: he just stops. Why are you stopping? You're stopping. You
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: can't stop. The play is still going on. You have
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: been told, and I know I was, since you were
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a little kid, play to the whistle.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Play to the whistle. And he would just stop.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: So this has to be something that's been learned or
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: conditioned or it's been done on that team that's been acceptable.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It might not have been coached, but it's acceptable to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: those guys to do that, to not play through the whistle,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to sit back after that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: You feel, oh, I'm done on this play, and sit
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: back and be a spectator. I'm like, no, you can't
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: do that. You got to play to the whistle.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And too many times he didn't play to the whistle,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden Jalen gets hit. You just
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: can't do that, man. So that's my only gripe, man.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: He's got to play the whole play. You got to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: go to the whistle. You can't do that, man. You
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: got to play. And especially when you got a quarterback
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that's a dual threat player. When you got a quarterback
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that can improvise, elongate plays, you never know where he's
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: going to end up. I learned that early because I'm
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: blocking for my rookie year. I'm blocking for Randall Cunningham. RC,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you think the play is over with, and he's still
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: running around back there trying to freelance.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: So I know what it is to play like that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Playing as a quarterback like that, playing with a quarterback
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: like that. So you just got to play to the whistle, man.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And I think it's something that's in the culture of
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that Eagles locker room now that you don't play to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the whistle.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Well, at least on the offensive line, they're not playing
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to the whistle.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: And it's putting us in bad positions. I mean, you
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: look at the week before against the Bears, same thing.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: They played to the whistle. But you watch their guys
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: playing to the whistle. They went and got a fumble
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: because they played to the whistle. We don't do that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: We're still sitting back there chilling. You know what I'm saying?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I'm done with my block. Let me spectate and see
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: what's going on. You always follow the ball.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: You follow the ball just in case something happens, just
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: in case somebody fumbles, just in case there's an interception,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: just in case, just in case.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: You got to do that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: It just goes to show that you're an aggressive player.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: You want to finish guys.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: You know, somebody come over and hit your quarterback out
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: of bounds, and you're not there to help? That's what
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about, man. You got to play to the whistle.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And that's got to be fundamentally ingraining guys early. And
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: then now, you got to reteach guys to play to
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the whistle? That's a problem, man. And I'm telling this
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to everybody that watches film. I mean, I'm going to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: tell everybody that just watches film. I'm just not up
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: here just bitching. I'm telling you. I'm here telling the truth.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: All you have to do is watch the tape. The
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: eye on the sky does not lie. See how many
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: times our authors have lied. Runs to the ball to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: finish the play. The play should never be over with
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: until you hear the whistle. And then you block just
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit past that. You just take it to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the limit. If you do that, I guarantee you'll get
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: better results. Because no more than you finish the play,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you might get a couple of flatbacks.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: But you're just finishing the play, man. Run to the ball.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Help your quarterback out. Run to the ball. Pick up
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a fumble. Run to the ball just in case you're
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: just going to finish somebody. This is something that, you.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Know, they've got to get a handle on this, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: they've got to get a handle on it fast.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Or we won't be winning anything. Everything starts with the
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: offensive line. Everything starts with the offensive line. And right now,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: they're not good enough to win.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Well, the young rookie, he got baptized real quick on
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the right side Sunday against the Rams.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: But he didn't play well the first two and a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: half minutes. Okay.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Now, about the guy. I'm sorry, two and a half seconds. Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: About the guy he replaced, Lane Johnson, once again, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it has been very loudly rumored, this was another case
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of him going through the mental health issues that he
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: has well documented publicly. He has talked openly in front
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of cameras about it. He's talked to you. He has
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: talked to me, multitudes of other media people about it
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: as he promotes, you know, take care of yourself. before
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: anything else.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I got to get your opinion. He bowed out an
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: hour before the game.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: There's a possibility it could happen during the game at
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the course of this season.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You and I both know people who have gone through
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: depressions and anxieties.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And I've said this outwardly, and I want a former
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: professional player's opinion.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I.e.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yourself, is it at a point where Lane should consider
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: calling it a career now instead of at the end
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of this season? Now, let me preface it by saying this.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Lane Johnson is one of my all-time favorite Eagles. He
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: is a friend of mine. He's a friend of yours.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I love Lane. But at some point, he doesn't need
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the money. He's got plenty of money. He's got two rings.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He's got three kids, a wife. Should he consider now
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: taking care of himself first more than his professional status?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: And with that said, should the Eagles also possibly consider
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: moving on from Lane, meaning finding somebody else to anchor
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that spot?
• 9:56

• 11:43
  Speaker 2: That's a tough question to really answer because we know
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: that they talked Lane into coming back.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: He considered to go ahead and hang it up. But
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: he made a commitment to the Eagles when he did
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: come back. And I think he should honor that commitment.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I think he should come back to work.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: He should come back to work.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: And if that's the case, that's why he didn't play
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in the game, then we.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Got to understand that that's a.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Tough thing to deal with, man. Your mental health is
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: something that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Even when you're on the field, you're dealing with it
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: off the field to do it. It's something you can't shake, man.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And that's something that you just, you just can't, it's
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: not something you can just, you know, all right, let
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: me set this aside because it stays with you.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: You know, you can't just let it go. So, I mean, that's,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: that's just tough for me to really say that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think he should know it's not tough.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I think he should honor his commitment and stay with
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the team. And I think once he gets through dealing
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: with what he's dealing with, and if it is mental
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: health issue, If it is, then he needs to deal
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: with it, but he also needs to understand that he
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: made a commitment to the team, and I think he's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: going to honor that commitment to the team.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I think he will. We wish Lane the best. Absolutely.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: That's our dude. That's our guy.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: We have the utmost respect for him more so as
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a person than a football player.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Prayers are with you, Lane, in that regard.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: As for this game itself, for the life of me,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I sit back here and I still analyze this game
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and there's enough blame to go around for everybody in
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Yes.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: From the coaches to the players, the only element that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: played well was special teams. Well, the defense played well
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: for three plus quarters, but in terms of consistent overall
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: good play, the special teams. Now this offense, this, this
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: so-called new West coast offense, this Sean Manion offense did
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: basically the same thing it did in Chicago and six
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: days prior to their meeting with the Rams. They play
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: well for the first 30 minutes. They come out in
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the third quarter and play like they've never played together before.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And granted, you know, Saquon went down early with a hamstring.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Quinion bows out. Jonathan Grenard bows
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: out with an ankle injury. Tank Bigsby eventually would buy
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: out of this game. with a severe groin injury, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: as we were talking before this podcast, he's been placed
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: on RR and needs surgery now. His season might be over. Saquon,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: with that hamstring, the way we saw him limping off
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the field and grimacing, ain't no way he's going to
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: be ready Sunday to play Jacksonville.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Ain't no way.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: But with that said, your quarterback, your offensive line, your
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: receivers run mediocre routes at best. I don't know what's
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: going on with this team, especially the offense. I just
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: don't understand. Now, understand, Devontae, okay, it's obvious that A.J.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Brown is a bigger loss than anybody was led to believe.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: He's a big possession target. Devontae was out with a hamstring.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Your number one tight end, Dallas Goddard, is out with
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a knee issue. And I understand you go into a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: gunfight with a cap gun in a lot of ways.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: But you still have this team dead to rights. But
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you kept giving them the momentum back. What is it
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: about this team in the third.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Quarter, Barrett?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: They just don't have it, man. I mean, they're a
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: second-quarter team, period.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: If they don't get it done in the second quarter,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: they're going to lose the game.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: They've proven it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: If they don't get it done in the second quarter,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: because they still haven't scored points in the first quarter,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think they scored in the first quarter yet.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: They went 0 for like 13 or something like that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: 0 for 12.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: 0 for 12. with first down, for third down, third
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: down completely. How are you expecting to win the game
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: with those type of numbers, those type of results?
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: And then.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: To get down in fourth and two. You got to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: make that happen. You got to make that happen. And
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not mad with the play call.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: See, I was just going to ask, should they have
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: taken a three?
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: No.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I think they should have went Yeah, I think they
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: should have went on them and did what they did.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: You got to go for it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: It's just the guys on the offensive line got their
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: butt kicked, and you can't allow that to happen.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: You can't allow that to happen.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Barrett, the Rams have been bringing the pressure the entire game.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: And sure enough, on their fourth and goal at the two,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: they brought the heat. Jalen never settled his feet. He's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: doing like this, looking around, and finally threw it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Out to Darius Cooper in the flat, incomplete.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Now, With that said, I understand if you get the touchdown,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: it's game over. It's game over. But if you take
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the three, you're up by 13. So even if the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Rams get two touchdowns, it's a one-point game instead of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: a four-point game. And the Eagles have an opportunity just
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to get within a striking distance because Jake Elliott has
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: been money so far this season from long distance. And
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you give him a chance to win the game with
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: possibly a long field goal.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: But no, your genius head coach.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Now, let me backtrack a minute because on that particular drive,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: which I say is the best drive of the day
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: because their scoring drives were short drives thanks to the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: defense finally getting two turnovers. They were the last team
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: in the NFL to get turnovers this season. They got two,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and the offense got 10 points off those two turnovers. Now,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I will say this about this particular drive. They had
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the Rams on their heel. They ran 11 plays on
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that drive. 10 consecutive running plays for 62 yards to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: get them down to the two-yard line, okay?
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: But in a game like that, you want to keep
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the heat on the Rams, okay? And what it did
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: was when their pass was incomplete, it gave the Rams
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: momentum because they walked 98 yards and took the momentum
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: right back from them.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Well, see, that's what I'm saying. I'm I liked the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: way the defense was playing up until then. You know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I loved the way the defense was playing up until then.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: So I kind of had some, you know, I was like, man,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the defense, they could bail us out. I mean, Trout Jr.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Had 15 tackles, bro. Yeah. He was bowling.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: You know, but I would, like I said, I would
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: have went for it. I'd have went for the touchdown, too.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I'd have had a better play to call. But I'd
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: have went for the touchdown. You had ran the ball
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: down their throats. Was it like 10 times.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: They ran a rock? 10 straight times. But then also.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: On the play with Jalen Hack, what's his name, almost
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: knocked the ball out of his hands.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: If he'd have handed it off to.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Bigsby, if he didn't get the ball almost knocked out
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: of his hands and he'd have just gave the ball
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to Bigsby, I think Bigsby would have scored.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: On that play. I agree with you there because then
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Jalen had.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: To roll to his right, and it was obviously a
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: called run because none of the receivers were thinking pass.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they turn around, Jalen's trying to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: go to– The end zone is a run for no gain.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: And that set up the infamous, you know, fourth down
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: incomplete pass to Cooper.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: But considering the way this team is, plus you're playing
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: with a passed up offensive line too. You're playing with
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a rookie who had never played in the NFL at
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: right tackle. You got a center who was a guard
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: playing center. You got a guard who was a center
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: playing guard. You don't have your five horsemen out there.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Even though they got that surge and they had the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Rams defense on his heels on that drive, to me,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you got to take the sure money, which is the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: three points.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Right. I understand. I know, man. I know, man.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: But I'm thinking, you know, we're talking about a coach
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: that already at this point knew last week he should
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: have went for it on fourth and fourth and one.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: And then he went for it when it was like
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: fourth and six, fourth and five. So this time I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: knew he was going to do it. So I didn't
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: mind him going for it. I was like, hey, you've
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: been a gunslinger. Let's get back to it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: And, you know, if, if, if, if, if. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: You know, but I know, I know for a fact, man,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: if we'd have scored, if we'd have scored, if we'd
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: have scored, we should have scored that touchdown, man.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm telling you, Bigsby would have walked into the
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: end zone. Yeah.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: If Jurgens, you know, didn't mess, you know. I just
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: get so frustrated because I don't want to bash players.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I don't want to bash players. But I do have
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: to tell the truth about what players are doing. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: that's the problem that I'm having with trying to break
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: this game down. Because I'm not going to bash the players,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to tell what's going on. I have to.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I have to tell the truth.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: And when I look at the film, when I'm watching it,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I'm mad, I'm pissed, I'm going on, you know, post-game,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: and I'm going, ah, I'm reacting with emotion. But I
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: sit down and watch the game, and I'm not using
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the emotional aspect of it. I'm watching, seeing what's going on.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, ooh, that's close. Ooh, that's close. What
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: is he doing here? There's a whole bunch of people
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: over here. He sees those people over there. He knows
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: we don't have enough people to block over there. So
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: why is it shocking... when the ball snapped and then
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: right there in front of his face.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: You got to know that's happening.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: You got to either check out the player or understand
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: that you're going to have to get the ball at
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: your hand faster. What part of that don't we understand?
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: So Hurts got to get that ball at his hands.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And then I'm also.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Looking at this.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: If you're a guard and you don't have anybody over
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: you and the check is from the mic to anything
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: outside and you sit back and you're a guard and
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: somebody's on your center and somebody's on your tackle That
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: is a guard's greatest moment. Because right now, he can
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: tear somebody's ribs up, man.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: He has nobody to block. I'm going to light somebody's
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: ribs up. I'm going to light them up.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Because they're being blocked, and they're just worried about the
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: guy they're blocking.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: When he sat back like that, I'm looking, check.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: My responsibilities, then I'm going to try to break that
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: nose guard's ribs.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go out there and break that end's ribs.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: He didn't touch anybody on the play.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: How does Jurgens not touch anybody on the play?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: How do you go plays, not just one, but plays
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: without touching somebody?
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Say it again. Plays. There was countless.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know for a fact there was at
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: least two or three plays where on a pass play,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Jurgens didn't touch anybody. You can't do that. You've got
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: to make your presence known. You've got to light somebody up.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Light them up. Light them up. You know what I'm saying?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Light them up, you know? That's just, you know, that's
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: another thing. You know, that's another thing. But then I
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: look at the defensive side of the ball. Huh? Yeah. No,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: go ahead. You're on the roll. Go ahead. I go
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: to the defensive side. Bernard, he set the tone. Yeah.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Got the game rocking. He set the tone. He was
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: putting all kind of pressure on Matthew Stafford.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Try Junior. Played amazing. You talking instincts? Talking about knowing
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: how to play the linebacker position? It's like he was
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: shot out of a cannon. Bam, he's going to make plays.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Bam, he's going.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: 15 tackles. Played an absolutely amazing game. Played like he's
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a starter, and he should be a starter. I don't
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: know how they're going to make him a starter, but
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: he needs to be starting. He needs to be playing
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: on the field at this time. So I don't know
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: what you do. I don't know if you change up
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the defense. You got to go four down. and have
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: three linemen run a 4-3 scheme? Because right now, their
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: base scheme is 4-2. You know what I'm saying?
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: 4-2.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: That's how they run it. 4-2, and then they got
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: five DBs. You know what I'm saying? That's their base defense.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know how else you get them on the field.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you start them over Bond, you
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: start them over Campbell.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You're not starting them over Bond. Campbell, maybe. Yeah, maybe Campbell,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: but You're not starting to move a bond.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Well, he outplayed anybody that played this year with the
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: exception of a bond. He played that. He balled out,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and he needs to have more reps. I don't know
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: if they need to switch up things or have a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: rotation going and have him fight over it again. But
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: he should get some more burn. You know what I'm saying?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Come Sunday in London after he did his fish and chips,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: He's got to be on the field. He's got to
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: be on the field.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Going into this game, the Eagles are down six players.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: As the game progressed, four more players fell by the wayside.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: They had 10, 11 players that did not hit it,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: that did not start or finish this game, that normally
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: have some kind of input in this game.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: And we don't know. Step out for a minute. Yep.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: We don't know how many of these guys will return
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: this coming Sunday, but I have to say that this
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: kind of falls on Howie Roseman also in terms of
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the depth on this roster or lack thereof. You look
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: at his last two drafts and the jury is still
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: out on his last two drafts, okay? Now, he had
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: done a good job the previous several years in terms
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of filling holes by way of the draft or free
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: agency or a combination of the two. Can't say that
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: right now. It's a wait-and-see process. But they can go
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: out and get many more players to fill some of
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the holes that they may need to fill right now,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: except on their practice squad.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I know it's only four games into a season.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And I hate to say it because I normally don't
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: say this at a point of a season because they're
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: only one game out of first place. There's still a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: lot more football to play. There's no dominant team in
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: their division. But as we look at this team right now,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: this team's in dire straits, Barrett.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, no question about that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Where do you go, man? At this point, me and
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: you were talking about it. Saquon, the lack of him
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: being back is stemmed in the way he ran off
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the field. You know, his hamstring, that looked bad, man.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: It looked bad.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: And we know that Tank is going to be put
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: on IR.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: So where did it go?
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: They got Damian Pierce and Jaden Blue. I like Jaden Blue.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Jaden Blue, you know, went to Texas. I think he
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: was in Dallas. On their practice squad, he's on our
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: practice squad right now. And Damian Pierce, I think he
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: has a legitimate shot in bringing him up. Because right
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: now we only have one healthy running back. One healthy
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: running back. So they got to bring one or both
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: of those guys up. They're going to have to. So
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: can they make this happen? Well, I sit back and like,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: all right, what is our identity anyway? We don't have
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: an identity. We don't pass the ball very well. We
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: don't run the ball very well. We don't have an identity.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: And then I thought about it. That is an identity.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: We just play sorry. That's our identity. Our identity is
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: a sorry playing team.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's it. Call a spade a spade.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: We lack an identity because that is our identity.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: It's not the identity we're used to having.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: You know, usually you're either a good pass blocking team
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: or a good run blocking team. We're neither one right now.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: We can do neither one of them consistently. And because
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: we can't do it consistently, we have nothing else to
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: fall back on. Now, I was disappointed yesterday in play
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: calling because we didn't do a lot of the things
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I saw us do in camp and saw us do
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the past couple of games where we're motions.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: And all that stuff.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, more and more of the motions are starting
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: to leave the offense and that's starting to make me
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: worry now because I like what they do with that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: It gives us a greater chance of fooling the defense
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: or making the defense play softer.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: That's what they do.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: When you do all that window dressing and stuff, that's
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: why our defense against the Bears played the way they
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: played because all the window dressing and guys moving around,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: it makes you play softer or less explosive because you
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: don't know what's going on or who's doing what. So
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: you have to play step up and then go. That's
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: why you don't get a false step. And that's all
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: you need is one false step to be out of
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: the play. So it's a method to their madness. That's
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: why they do that. We need to get back to
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: doing the same thing. We need to call more of
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: those motions, do more of those things, and gain a good.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Identity instead of the identity we have right now. We've
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: got to do something.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: You know, we talk about this newfound offense, and we
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: were supposed to see a lot more under center snaps.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Against the Rams, Jalen took 72% of his snaps out
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: of the shotgun.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: What happened under center? What happened under center? Hints.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: That's why I say we got to get back to
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: running the offense that we saw in the preseason, the
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: offense that we saw the first two games, so we
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: can start doing those type of things because it's hard
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: for a defense to make and play fast when everybody's
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: running around and flying around with all these different motions. Now,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: it might have been because of Smitty wasn't in the offense.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: They like to use Smitty as that guy that dictates
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: with the motions and things of that nature because he's
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: such a good player that you have to respect him
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: being a motion. You get less likely of a reaction
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: when you have Lemon running those motions because they don't
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: see him as a threat.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Or if he goes in motion, they throw that damn
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: screen out there too. I'm going to be mad. I'm
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: going to be hot. So you can't do that.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: But you've got to get more creative in how we're
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: calling plays and how we're running these plays. And I
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: heard an offensive lineman say, I heard, was it Lane?
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Not Lane, but Jordan say, well, we've got to get
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: back to running zone.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: We are a zone-blocking team now.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: We've got to get back to blocking the zone the
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: way we're supposed to block it. Until we do that,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: we're not going to be successful. Okay, let's get back
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: to it. Let's get back to it. Let's do something.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Let's do something right. Let's do something well. We need
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: to do something right. Something, please.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about the quarterback, and I hate
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to say it, but your quarterback cannot read defenses. Now,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the multitude of the game, the Rams overloaded the right
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: side and brought the heat on him all day. He's
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: played enough games to make line adjustments, to call audibles,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: receivers shorten the routes.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: To take some of that heat off of them and
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: have the Rams defense back off. They were coming from
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the same side almost the whole game.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: What is going on with Jalen?
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Because he has definitely regressed instead of progressed.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean, I just said it, you know.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's simple, man. It's simple math.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: If I'm sitting there and I'm a quarterback and I
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: look over to my right side and I see five
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: guys over there And that's what we were seeing, five
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: guys over there, and we only got three guys.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: To block him?
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Why are we not checking to something? But even better
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: than that, okay, I feel as though I could beat
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: that blitz. So when the ball is snapped, don't act
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: like it's a big surprise that you got somebody.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: In your face. It looked like he was surprised.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Why are you looking surprised? You see all the people
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: over there. You see all the people, and then he's
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: trying to roll towards the people.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Don't do that. Why are you rolling towards all the
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: people over there? You got to roll away from them
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: or run away from them.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I don't understand or comprehend why that is so hard.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Why is it so hard?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: It's not hard. You know them guys are sitting there.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: If you see that they're blitzing like this, and they've
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: been lighting you up all day, and you see them
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: over there again, you got to do something like, hey,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I'll be out and out like this.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Hey, Lemon. Lemon. Turn around and look straight at me.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I'm going to throw you the ball. You see all
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: these guys over here?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to throw you the ball.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: It's simple as that.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: But you can't continue to be surprised that all those
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: guys over there, we don't have enough to block them.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely nuts to me. I don't understand that, man.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And they beat us with the same stuff. See, I
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: almost cussed.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: And they beat them with the same stuff against the Bears. Yes.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: The same stuff against the Bears. Yes. Yes.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: And until he stops it, until he makes them pay
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: for it, it's going to be a problem.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I would be like this. I'd be like, you know what?
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I got something for him this time. I got something
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Bring him like you did. Okay, you're going to bring
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: him from the left side. I see five guys over there. Okay,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you got five guys over there. As soon
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: as I snap the ball, I'm going to take two
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: steps back and just launch it up in the air,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to tell my receiver, I don't care
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: who it is, give me a stutter, go. Stutter, and
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: go up the field. That'll be six, man. Because everybody
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: knows he can't, well, he hasn't picked up the blitz yet.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: It'd be right over their head. And that'll stop them
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: from doing that. You make them pay for doing that,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: they'll stop doing it. But until they stop it, they're
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: going to keep doing it. And I was lying, they
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: ain't helping either. Because they got to, I mean, if
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: you see that over there, and we got a young
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: guy playing center right now. He's got to be like, hey,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: you know what? I know right now we got a
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Luke call. We got a Luke call. We can't go
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: with this Luke call. We got everybody. Ram, Ram. Ram, Ram, Ram. Hey, Cam,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: you come block him over me. We got to slide
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: the line all the way over there.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Just slide him all the way over there. Just slide him.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? He can help too.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: And that's why Jason Kelsey was so good, that we
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: didn't have to worry about that because Kelsey would be like,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: all right, I got your number. I'm tired of my
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: quarterback getting hit. I'm going to call a Ram call.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to call the front side guard. I'm
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: going to say Ram.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: That means Ram. My left guard's got to go right.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: He's going to get the guy, and you got the guy,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: until we get all the way out there and pick
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: up everybody, or at least slow them down.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Leave the end man if it takes, you know what
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? The most dangerous man.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: But there has to be a way of playing chess
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: that you can, you know what I'm saying? You can
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: get all the way to the end of the board,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: and they can crown you. Until we get crowned on
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: the other side, we will continue to get blitzed, and
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: they will continue to get to Jalen.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: And we don't have anything right now that can help us.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Hey, have you ever had an issue with like your
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: hot water heater bursting?
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: I've had that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Happen at least three times in my basement, causing flooding,
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: causing me to miss work, causing me to deal with
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: people in my house trying to tell me how much
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: I'm going to have to pay.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Then I have to replace the appliance.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Then I got to do research on what the best
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: appliance is to replace with. It is madness and can
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: be very, very frustrating. But Housecall Pro helps home service

• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Up all right let's get to your genius head coach
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Fourth and one and a half. Not fourth and one.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Fourth and one and a half. He decides to go
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: for a tush push, okay? Again, let me emphasize, with
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a patch-up offensive lineman. He didn't have Landon Dickerson in there.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: He didn't have Lane Johnson in there. With a patch-up
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: offensive line, he decides to go for it at that
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: point at his own 38-yard line.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: His own 38, right? I think Nick Sirianni's lost his mojo.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: To be honest.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I'm about to start a petition to see if I
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: can get him suspended for at least two games and
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: let somebody else coach this team because I don't know
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: what the heck Nick is doing out there now.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: I really don't. I don't think that.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: We practice it like we used to practice it back then,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: like in 2024. I think that's the real issue. You
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: got to practice that play to be greater at that play.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: And we all know that Jurgens hated that play. Jurgens
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: didn't like that play. And even at the guard position,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: he's not good at that play. I don't know when– well,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: I do now.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I saw, you know, that we didn't run
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: it well anywhere. You know, so, I mean, we just
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: got blew up. You know, they just kicked our ass
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: on that play. I don't know how I'll say it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: You know, we even put in– we– no, I don't know.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: I know Nick isn't out there. He doesn't have pads on.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: But we can at least get a yard and a
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: half on that if the guys up front do what
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: they're supposed to do, man. But, you know, he's seen
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: them in practice, so he should know that they can't
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: run it because we haven't been running it this year, period.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: It hasn't been successful.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I love how you go out of your way not
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: to single out any individual players.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not bashing people, man. I'm not bashing.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I don't want to bash people because I know what
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: it is to be bashed like that. When I got bashed,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I deserved it. And these guys these days are sensitive.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: They don't want to talk to me anymore. They don't
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: want to put their ball up and go play somewhere else.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: They don't want to talk to me no more. So
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I tried to bash them. But I'm going to tell
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: the truth, though. I'm going to tell the truth. If
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: you get your ass kicked, I'm going to tell what
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: you did.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do that.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Because everybody told on me.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: I'm telling on you. I'm going to tell what happened
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: on the play.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: I'll explain what happened.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Happened on the play and why you got your butt kicked.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: But don't get mad at me because I'm telling you.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: We can sit down and watch film. I tell guys,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: we can sit down and watch film. And we can
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: go play for play. And I'll tell you what I
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: was expecting and what, you know, what you said should
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: have happened.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: And, you know, we'll compare notes. You know what I mean?
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I could be totally wrong with it. You can show
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: me where I'm totally wrong, and I'll concede. I'll say that,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: and I'll go back on my show, you know what
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, first hold on to everybody. Look, I went
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: and sat and watched film, and that's exactly what happened,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: and it was my fault.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what the hell I was talking about,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: and I will do that. I will do that.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: But I know because I played the game, and I
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: know what should be done in those type of situations.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know the call, but the way I see
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: them blocking it, I can kind of get the call
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: in my head. All right, this is what they were
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: trying to do. But, you know, I could be wrong.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: But what I'm not getting wrong is a guy getting
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: his ass kicked. I know I'm not getting that wrong.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I see it. I see it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I see you getting, you know, pressed back into the pocket.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: I see you getting beat on the outside. You know,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I see that.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: You know, so.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, we have some great things, too. Like
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I said, we're not being in there. Getting up the field.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Causing that interception, Makuta, he made it happen. You know, Makuta,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: he balled in this game.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: So, you know, we got to take our hats off
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: to him. Koop balled in the game also. Also, Darius
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Cooper balled out.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Darius Cooper, what an incredible catch he got for
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. Unbelievable catch.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: He takes advantage of every opportunity they allow him to get.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: And I can't be mad at that. He going to
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: keep balling like that. He going to keep doing that
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: because he understands that the NFL stands for not for long.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: And you want me to play special teams? I'll play
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: special teams. You want me to come in just to block?
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: I'll be blocking SOB. You want me to come in
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and catch a touchdown?
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Hey, I got you. In fact, you want two? I'll
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: give you two.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Whatever it takes to keep me on the field, keep
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: me walking in on Monday and give me my check,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep doing it.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: So kudos to him.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Of all the players that went down in this game,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I thought the complexion of the game for the defense
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: changed when Quinion Mitchell went down because he was blanketing
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Devontae Adams. I mean, you think about this just a
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: week ago against Denver. Devontae Adams abused Patrick Sertain, who
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: was arguably the best cover corner in the NFL. He
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: had 107 catches for 137 yards. You know, he was
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: basically a non-factor in this game. You know, I know
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: there was... He was balling, and I know there were
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: a couple of overthrows from Stafford because Devontae should have
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: had a touchdown that he dropped, and then there was
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the one down the sideline that was a little bit overthrown.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, Quinion was in his uniform
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: the time he was in the game. But outside of
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Quinion leaving the game, what did you see happen in
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: terms of the breakdowns in the Rams' last two drives?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, the last two drives combined, with 19
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: plays for 177 yards, two touchdowns in less than five minutes.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: The Rams got more offensive yards in their last two
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: drives than the Eagles had the entire football game.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, enough of that.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: But what happened on those last two drives that led
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: to the Rams taking the lead?
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: They did like this. They went on silent. They went,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: you know, how you doing? You out in the yard?
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: You playing with your boys? Hey, oh. Oh, Quinn, Q
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: ain't in there. Oh, okay, who got him? Oh, we
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: got him now, guys. We got him now.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: They went straight to him then. Straight to him. And
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: then when they went over there, he said, all right,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Hookah is out there demoing on the other corner.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you played against him twice a year for
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: four years.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? What's his name? Reek Wallen.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was a battle, man. That was a battle.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: They were going at it, man.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: But he played a little too physical with them. And
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: they both were playing physical. And they would start calling,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, on him. You know what
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: I thought that was wrong. If you're going to call it,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: call it straight.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Call times when he's pushing off.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: And everything else. But him and Reek Woolen were going
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: at it.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: And every time he turned around in a crucial play,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: they'll call and throw the flag on him, man.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: But, you know, they got the opportunity. And Reek, for
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: the most part, Reek was balling. Then all of a sudden,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Puka Nakua just took over. He just took over.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: I'm back.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: I'm back now. And he showed that he was back.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: So he balled out. So they took advantage. Oh, I
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: got Jones over here?
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, go to me. I got Jones. I got Jones.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, that's smart football. Your best corner goes out.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to attack where the best corner used to be.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Did a great job on it.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: This team is in dire straits right now. They got
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: to send out an SOS real quick because the Jacksonville Jaguars,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: are a good football team with a good defense. And
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: if the Eagles don't get it together, and of course
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: we're still waiting to find out who's in and who's
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: out for the birds because we're looking at 10 potential players.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Now we know that Tank Bigsby is basically done until
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: further notice, possibly done for the year. But of those
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: other players, we just sit, wait, and cross our fingers
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: that the Calvary is coming to help this team out.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: If not, it's going to be another long day come
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Sunday in London.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: And it starts early, too. It starts early. Yeah.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: Well, at least we'll get home to see some afternoon football.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: For my man, Barrett Brooks, I'm Derrick Gunn. This has
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: been Birds Weekly presented by the inside of the Birds Network.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Keep your fingers crossed. Until next week, so long, everybody.
