  Speaker 1: Hey everybody, you are locked and loaded for the latest
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: edition of Burns Weekly presented by the inside of the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Burns Network.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: For Mr. Barry Brooks, I'm Derrick Gunn.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: As we sit here to recap week 17 and the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Eagles do a complete flop against the hated Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And B. Brooks, we got to start with the defense, man.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: What? What? You said the same thing for the last
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: five weeks. Start with the defense? A complete flop.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, total flop.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Total flop. Hey, look, look, look.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We knew the offense was still kind of suspect. Young quarterback,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you didn't know how much Saquon was going to play
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: if he played at all. You're one of two wide
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: receivers not playing in this game. But I at least
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: expected the defense to keep them in the game and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: give them a fighting chance.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And B.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Brooks, I have to ask you, the floor is yours,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: my friend. Your observations on a Vic Fangio defense that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: played nothing like a Vic Fangio defense.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Gunner, I thought we played in the NFL, a gladiator sport,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: a physical game, which we go out and we try
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: to impose our will on others. And what happened to us?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: They imposed their will on us. And the worst thing
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: about this entire game is we didn't match their intensities.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: How are we not matching their intensity? They came with
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the mindset that we're going to play bully ball. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: that's exactly what they did. I sat there and watched
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Tyler Smith totally annihilate who was ever in front of them.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: He didn't care who it was. It was all of them. Morrow, Davis,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and Carter. He was schooling them guys, man.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I sat there and watched him specifically because I was like, man,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: what is going on? I see bodies flying around, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I see 73 around them. Tyler Smith demoed on us.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Their starting left guard beat us and made us like him.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: And it was just unbelievable how physical he was. Tyler Guyton,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: he's sorry, man. And he was out there balling. He was, bro, we...
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: We touched the quarterback one time. We touched Dak Prescott
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: one time.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I don't even think you touched him one time. They
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: said he had one pressure, I think. One pressure.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: If he did, it's because one of his offensive linemen
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: ran into him. No, bro.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: It was the one pressure where he faked Epineza, made
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: him jump in the air, and brought it down. That
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: was the pressure there. That was it. But if you
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: watch that play, you watch that play right there. It
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: was crazy because Tyler Smith, like I was talking about,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: on that exact play, and you can watch film on it,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: go back and look at it, when he faked and
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: made Epinesa go in there.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: When you look at when he, from the Cowboys-Vaners point
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: on in, I see Tyler Smith has Carter like this
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: and controlling him. He didn't even let him get off
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. He didn't get off the line
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage, bro. In fact, it was so bad that
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: he almost started going over the line of scrimmage.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: He pulled him back out. Oh, I don't want to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: be that far down. Come on, man.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: It kept him right there. It was a total, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: just ass-whooping. That game was crazy, man. I couldn't believe it. And,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: you know, my guy, Seth, I love Seth. And he
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: told me, as a linebacker, When you see guys didn't double-team,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: when you see your defensive lineman getting double-teamed, you got
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to run.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Through to get them off that double-team. Go downhill. Go downhill.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't see one time our linebackers go downhill. It
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: was over. I could have ran my butt through that, man.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Come on, man.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, where are your $ 200 million D tackles, man?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, think about this. Jalen Carter has played one
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: half of a game like the Jalen Carter we expect
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this entire season. Jordan Davis, I don't know where he
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is mentally, man, but he's on planet Krypton or something
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: because I don't understand how you have that much beef
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in the middle. And even if they're getting double teamed,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you know, the better D tackles in the game get
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: double teamed and somehow find a way to get off
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the blocks and make plays occasionally. These guys are making
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: plays four or five yards downfield. I don't understand what's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: going on with the D-tackles in particular, man. I mean,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you invested a lot of money into these two guys,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and right now they're stealing money.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: They absolutely are, man. There's no way around it. I'm
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: not going to say this. I never talk about the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: money aspect of it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I don't care. You get your money, man.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You can talk about it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I'm going to talk about what I saw, and I
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: saw Jordan, Big Jordan– They were just locking him up, man.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Locking him up, man.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: It was funny, man, because he wasn't even– there was
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: no– we didn't even have a tackle for loss.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: No. No.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: They played on our side of the line of scrimmage
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: all day long. They drove us three yards off the
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: ball every single play. Every single play. And for us
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to think anything other than we got our butts whooped
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: is crazy. But it has to be something as far
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: as coaching– with linebackers playing the way they played. I
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: can't believe that those holes would open up and we
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: didn't have linebackers running through. To me, I didn't understand that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: And I can understand that saying, all right, they changed
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: their schema. They haven't run the ball like that since
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: we didn't.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: If you play like a linebacker, play your scheme, if
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: your hole opens up, you got to run through it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: If you see a double team, you got to run
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: through the hole where the double team is because that's where.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: The ball is going. Come on, man. I didn't play linebacker, man,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: but I know how to block a linebacker. I know
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: how to block a three-track lead. I know what they
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: did right. I mean, how am I sitting.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Here talking about, you know, Tyler Smith and the way
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: he just controlled and manhandled our defensive line like that, man?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, these are my guys. They're my guys, man,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but I got to tell the truth. I got to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: tell the truth. The truth will set you free. Amen.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I saw him get whipped.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Whipped whipped look here man the back end of that
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: defense now you talk about we talk about the two
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: guys in the middle in the trenches well baffling us
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: i've said on our pregame show when you have two
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: gazelles like cd lamb and george pickens you got to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: have some cheetahs that can chase the gazelle right and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the eagles had them in quinnian mitchell and reek wallen
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: okay Why in the world didn't Vic have those two
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: corners follow those two guys all night long? If they
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: went to the concession stand, if they went to the bathroom,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: them cornerbacks supposed to be right there with them. Why
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: in the world do you see Cooper Dejean occasionally covering
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: CeeDee Lamb?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? See,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that's the problem right there.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Cooper Dejean needs to cover them.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: He is a slot corner. He can't cover CeeDee Lamb.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Bro, instead of backing up, you're a bigger player. You're
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: a thicker player. Instead of backing up, get your hands
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: on him.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Rewrite him.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Throw the timing off. That way Dak wouldn't have thrown
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the ball if he threw the timing off. But he didn't.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: You got five yards. You could physically manhandle him. But
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: he didn't do that. So since you didn't put your
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: hands on him, you let him get a free release,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of course he's going to beat you.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: He's a faster player. But you can.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Alleviate all that, doing all this and all that, by
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: putting your hands right there smack dab in the middle
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: of his chest, stop right here, and throw the timing off.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And then we're not going to get on Rick Wooler, though. Oh, yes,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: we are. Oh, yes, we are. Six foot four. Yes.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: 200 pounds. Ran a 4-2-40 at the combine.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Sophist drugstore cotton. I was waiting for you to say that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Bruh, when I say... Come up and make a tackle.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: He played two-hand touch. Two-hand touch.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Man, stop being scared, man. You know what?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: It kind of looked like when I was younger and
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the first time you put on pads when you're a
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Pop Warner, you see the guys that are going to
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: be football players.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Then you see the guys that are going to play
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: basketball and baseball. Yeah, yeah. That's what I saw. I
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: saw he looked like.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: One of the guys that should have played basketball, man,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: on red track because he didn't have a physical bonus.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: He's not in his body, man. He's not physical.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: And, I mean, bro, I could sit down and watch
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: film with him.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I could sit down and watch film on my film.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying I was all world. Hell, I got
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: my ass kicked by Mr. White, Reggie White. Oh, yeah,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I've seen that video. Charles Haley. I mean, you name it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: But at least I was out there battling and fighting
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and scratching and clawing it. You know what I'm saying?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to rip the helmet off, everything, trying to
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: make it happen. This dude, man, he want to play
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: two-hand touch. This is not powder puff football.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? You got to come up
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: with his... Bro, he tackling, man. Bro, come on, man. Hey, look, man.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: In August, I said... said, don't think Reek Wallen is
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: what you think he is.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Now, he's good. He's a good cover corner occasionally.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: He's a riverboat gambler, and he makes mistakes because he's
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: always trying to jump routes, and he's not the greatest tackler.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And here's another thing.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: He's coming off a Pro Bowl season with a very
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: good Seattle defense.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: They didn't even make him an offer to stay, let
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: him go. And oh, by the way, you remember a
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: kid named Josh Joe that played here? Yeah, he started.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: He and Seattle started balling. So what did that tell
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you about what Seattle thought about Rick Wallen? That they said, hey, man,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you know what? Thank you for helping us get a ring, but,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you know, good luck to you wherever you're going down
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the road.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: They knew! They knew!
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Would you say another man's trash is another man's Trash.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Another man trash. Hey, look, man.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: But, you know, going back to your boy, the Gene,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: he's costing himself a lot of money this season, man.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: This dude, he's a pro bowler.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Right, right. All pro.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: All pro.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Now he's all about nothing.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: You kicked it too much, I guess. You know, I'm
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: not going to say that. I'm going to say this.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: So this hit me when I was doing work around
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: the house the other day and trying to open up
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: some boxes and cut some things that I can never
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: find the scissors or knives in my house. And how
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: great would it be if I just had my own
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: personal pocket knife that I had on me all the time?

• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Maybe he got caught up in the transition of thinking
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: that he was going to be a safety and kind
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: of build up some muscle bulk. You know what I'm saying?
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Not fat, but muscle bulk. And he can't move as
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: fluently as he used to move, you know what I'm saying?
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Because he did get bigger.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: He did get rocked up, you know what I'm saying?
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to make any excuses for him because
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: he's not using that physical, you know, strength that he
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: acquired over the offseason.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Man, put your hands on people, man. Put your hands
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: on people.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Man, you let a Dallas offense that was averaging 76
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: yards a game running the ball bust you up for
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: 204 yards a game. Two, not one, not one, 204 yards. Now,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Dallas' offense is decent. They're not a juggernaut. And they
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: were running up and down. They left cleat marks all
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: up and down Eagles' defensive backs, man. All up and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: down their backs. And I'm sitting here going, Vic.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Fangio, what did you coach all week?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: You had an extra day to get ready for this game. See,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: we know the offense is all busted up. But for
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the most part, the defensive pieces have been there week
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: in and week out.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And you're going to show that on a Monday night
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: on Jeffrey Lurie's induction into the Team Hall of Fame?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: If I was Jeffrey, I'd cancel all their checks. Next check,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: ain't nobody getting paid. I'm telling you right now, ain't
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: nobody getting paid next week.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Nobody.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain. Look, it was a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: lack of effort and coverage. It was a lack of
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: effort and tackling. And every time your offense gave you
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a lead and gave you some momentum, you let Dallas
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: as a defense walk right back down the field and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: take that momentum from you. Yep. Every stinking time. Dallas
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: scored on seven of nine possessions. That's embarrassing. That's an embarrassment.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Seven of nine? Seven of nine possessions. See, I'm not
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a stat guy. I'm not a stat guy, so I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: don't really look at the stats when they come up.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I don't look at that. What I look at is
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: the physical prowess that does. that the Cowboys came in.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: They came into our house saying, you know what? We're
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: going to leave this game a winner or a loser,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: but one thing we're going to be is the most
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: physical team on the field. And that physicality is what
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: broke our back.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: They were just more physical than us.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: They're going to drive me to drinking, man.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: That's what they're going to do. They're going to drive
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: me to drinking, man. I'm drinking right now. Ice water.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I'm drinking.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go over to the other side of
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the ball because I was so interested in seeing what
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: was going to happen with Tanner McKee having a full
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: week of practice in the Sean Mannion slash Nick Sirianni offense.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: And I tell you what, he looked more comfortable in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the first half. He looked more comfortable. He made some
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: good throws. I thought he was very efficient in terms
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of handling the offense. Now, he made a few bad throws.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Every quarterback does. But I thought he looked way more poised. Uh,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: then he looked the previous week.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I think Sean, man, you put them in a position
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: where he used what his strengths are, you know, he
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: getting the ball out of his hands. He got guys
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: running in the middle of the field and he could
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: throw in the middle of the field. He was dinking
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: and ducking lemon played at a high level.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Getting the ball to him, uh, in, in space, uh, moving.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, a couple of guys have dropped, you know, my,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: you know, uh, there's Cooper had a couple of drops, um,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: you know, uh, I think that they came out and
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: played well enough to win the game. And when you
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: think about winning and you think about a defense, 17
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: points is always.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Like the magic number.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: If you can hold a team to 17 points on
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball, you should win. Because
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: the offense has a score over 17. They have to.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Did we play well enough? Did the offense play well
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: enough to win the game? They played well enough to
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: be competitive. Yes.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: But I had higher expectations for the defense.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Now, what I saw from the office was kind of
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: special because when you add a weapon like Saquon Barkley,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: it opens a lot of stuff up.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: There's no team sitting back.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Saying, all right, you know, Pierce, you know, Damian Pierce,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: you know, we're going to, you know, I'm sorry to me,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: and I ain't going to knock his hustle, but he
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: just didn't control defense. what the defense was doing. Saquon
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: controlled what the defense were doing. You got to bring
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: that extra defender in. So you can't run cover two
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: with Saquon in there. You got to run cover one.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: You got to bring another body inside the box. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: when he was in the game, you saw that electricity.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: You saw how electric he was. So at this point,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I could, you know, you could have bought me with
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: a wooden nickel, man. you know, when I saw that
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: first run, that he was going to play the rest
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: of the game. There's no way he was going to
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: play the rest of the game, man. I know he tried.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: He gave the almost effort, man. But still, though, even
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: with him being hobbled, he was still a threat out
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: there in the first half. Even with him not being 100%,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: he was still a threat in the first half. Once
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: he couldn't play, the defense, you know, let their hair down.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: They said, all right. We ain't got to worry about
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: that no more. They went back to playing regular defense, man.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: But I tell you what, man, Landon Dickerson and Kendall
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: and Saquon, that's one heck of a mix, man, that
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: really has some great results.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I look at Saquon, and obviously he's a gamer.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: We know, you can tell right away that that hamstring
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't 100%. And then he goes out there and tweaks
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: his back. Now, he played a total of 10 snaps
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: in this game. 10 snaps. Would you have allowed him
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: to play in the game? I mean, obviously, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: when a player has been injured and they decide to play,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: there's a meeting of the minds. The trainer, the doctor,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and the player. And you know the player is always
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: going to want to say, I want to play. But
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I do think Saquon is smart enough, as competitive as
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: he is, to protect his body, to preserve himself for
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the greater good of more games down the road. But
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: obviously the meeting of the minds decided he was well
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: enough to play. But after watching him run a couple
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of times, would you have let him play that game?
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: And this is the reason why I said, the reason
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: why I say that because that's just what players do.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: That's just what they do. Players, players want to go
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: out there and play. He's one of those guys that
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: he wants to go out there and play. He wants
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: to be front and center. And I mean, and it's
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: the same situation with, With Smitty, Devontae Smith, same situation.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: You know, he wanted to go out there and play,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: try to, you know, and end up hurting himself a
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: little bit. Evidently, he said his hamstring was all right,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: but his lower back, his lower back was the problem.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: His back tightened up. And I understand what he's saying.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: He was saying that, all right, your body will compensate,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: you know, from an injury somewhere else. And I guess
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: that back, you know, got the, you know, and I
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: think that's what happened. He got the moving on, he
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: got the moving on the back. He said, oh, tighten
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: up a little bit. I need to protect you from
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: messing up. And I guess that's what happened. But at
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, I'm sorry to say it,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I would have let him play because he would have
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: demanded to play.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: You know, he would have demanded to play. He wants
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to play. He wants to be out there with his brothers.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Second play of the game, he busts, he rips one off.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Then he scores on a nice run where he starts
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to the inside, dips to the outside. takes it to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the house. His presence creates such a different dynamic in
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: that offense. Even a less than 100% Saquon is still
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a viable threat. And I honestly believe if he was
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: able to play, let's say, let's say 75% of that game.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I think, I don't know if the, I don't know
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: if the Eagles would have won, but it would have
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: been a much closer.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Much more entertaining game. I think, I think that much.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: They couldn't stop us, man. With the Saquon again, they
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: couldn't stop. Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: They couldn't stop us. So if he played 75% of
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: the time, I think they'd have scored 75% of the time.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: So I just think that, you know, he's that good
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: of a weapon. He's that good of a piece. Now
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: everybody's talking about, oh, you know, trade deadline, all that
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: type of stuff. You're not going to be able to
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: get the worth that, you know, he has to this team.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: You're just not going to do it. And this is
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: a contract year for him, too.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: So will a team come out? It'd have to be
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: a team that's going to go into the playoffs, deep
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Somebody like McCaffrey got hurt. Yeah, they
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: would trade for him. Just like they just got the
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: 49ers got the Forrest Buckner. They're still trying to win.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Are we at that point? Can we run off 17
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: straight wins? No, heck no. To be honest with you. No,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: not 17. You wouldn't need 17. No, you need 10
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: more wins. Can we win the next 10 games? You
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: might not win the next two games. I'm looking at
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: that schedule. I'm trying my best to find two wins
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: on the schedule.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Let alone. Even next week, man. Even next week. Can
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: our defense stop that offense? Not the way they played
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: against Dallas. Can we score on that offense? Can we
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: score on that defense? You got to score more than
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: 21 points.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Look, do you know the 21 points they scored Monday
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: night was the most points they've scored since the second
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: game of the season against Tennessee?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Think about that. 21 points? The first time they scored? D-Gun,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: it's the first time they scored in the first quarter.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: First time they scored in the first quarter. Seven games
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: into a season. Seven games into a season. Can they
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: win 10 in a row? No, I ain't doing that.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Seattle, San Francisco, Houston defenses.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Those three defenses alone, I'm telling you right now, and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: they don't even see those teams.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, you want the Giants, too. Oh, hey, look here.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Look here.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: The Giants showed me something going down to Houston and
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: beating Houston in overtime in Houston. And people keep saying,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you know, Dallas is going to win a division. Don't
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: count out the Giants. Hey, John Harbaugh's got those boys
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: believing in themselves over there, man.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: They are definitely believing in themselves. They're ready, man. Sometimes,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: you know, you.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Just need to get guys to just Just go out
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: there and just play hard, man.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: And what's Cam Scadable do?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. That dude's going to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: hurt somebody, man. That's why he's got a body.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: He's going to hurt somebody. Hey, look. You see how
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: he lowered his head and knocked somebody back? Grand man, bro.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Grand man.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I thought the Eagles' best, the most impressive drive,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: not only of the night, possibly one of the most
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: impressive drives of the season, they come out at halftime, right?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: They put together a 17-play, 84-yard drive that consumed over
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: nine minutes and take the lead. And then they give
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it right back. Now, we talk about the Eagles defense
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: not being able to touch Dak Prescott. But I thought
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the Eagles' offensive line, as we go inside the line,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I thought the Eagles' offensive line did a pretty good job.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You know, Dickinson was bad. Kendall was bad. I thought
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: that offensive line did a very good job, number one,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: opening up holes in the running game. And for the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: most part, number two, protecting Tanner McKee.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Yep, they did.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: They did a phenomenal job, you know. And you didn't
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: see as many all-side penalties.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: You know why? Because Kendall understands how to snap the ball.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: At the rate that Jordan Milano and the rest of
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: the tackles don't get called for all-sides.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: They jumped the snap.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: So the center has to snap it a tad bit
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: earlier than usual because those guys know how to do that.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: And Majors didn't know how to do that, so that's
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: why you got Jordan Milano with all those all-sides penalties
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: because he's trying to get off on a snap count,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: and Majors didn't know how to snap it on a
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: snap count. So many things, man. There were so many
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: things that just having those two back. just kind of solidified,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: you know. The inside run game, we went to the
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: well to the left side just too many times. They
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: just started slanting, pinching, and everything else to that left
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: side because they couldn't stop them.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: So, you know, we're going to learn. We're going to
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: try to get that right side going in the right direction.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: I think Bell played pretty good, even though he let
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: somebody beat him across his face on.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: That run play.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: But on the most part, he played well, man, and
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: he was trying to dominate people.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: So Bell's learning, man. He's definitely learning. Man, what do
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: we do with this team? What do we make of
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: this team?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, three, four consecutive weeks, they've had 25 or
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: more players on the injury report. 25 or more players
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: on the injury report. I thought one of the most
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: telling tales was when the TV cameras went and ISOed
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Howie Roseman sitting up in a box with this bewildered
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: look on his face. And I think that's how we
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: in the media– the fan base, and probably the team
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: feels right now. It's like, where do you go? What
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: do you do? How do you keep morale up? How
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: do you keep dissension from setting in on this team, Bear?
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I've been through a situation where the same thing happened
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: to me in 1998, my last year with the Eagles.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: We went 3-13, and the worst thing about it, man,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not even talking about our officer coordinator
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: getting fired, Dana Bible, and then Bill Musgrave, um, Former quarterback.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: He was on the quarterback roster the year before. He
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: became the offensive coordinator, and we couldn't do anything with
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: the offense. And guys just going out there. It's not
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: really that, but guys going out freestyling, doing what they
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: want to do, especially on the defensive side of the ball,
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: where they were just doing their thing. Instead of trying to,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, keep the quarterback locked into
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: out of the pocket, they start freestyling, going in and
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: trying to get sacks. And guys, you know, run around
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: doing what they want to do. running backs running the
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: wrong plays because they see a hole over somewhere else.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: You got to play within a system, man. You don't
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: want guys to go out there and start doing that, man.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: It was bad, bro. And I don't want to see
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: this team fall apart like that.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: But, man, once you start losing like this, man, losing
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: is an ugly thing, especially with guys that aren't used
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: to losing like that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, you were out there on the practice field for
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: training camp. You've been around a lot of these guys.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: When the SOS goes out like this and the ship
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: is sinking, In your estimation, who in their locker room
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: The guys that holds everybody together?
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: It's tough, man, because it's hard for you to be
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: a guy that's saying something when you're getting your ass kicked.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: That's tough. That's tough, man.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: So, you know, I look to Jordan Davis being a
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: guy to be a vocal guy. But, man, he's got
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: to play better. You know what I'm saying? If you
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: don't have any results on the field, you know, players
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: aren't going to follow you. I mean, we let a
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: lot of those guys go. Or they retired or they
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: just left.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, in all actuality, it's going to have
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to be Tanner McKee. Man, hold up.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Ain't nobody going to listen to Tanner?
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: They're going to have to.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: He is QB1 now. He's not QB2. He is QB1 now.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: He is the starting quarterback. He has to be somebody
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: that they listen to, that they believe in, most of all.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: They've got to believe that he can go out there
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: and do it. Saquon Barkley. They'll rally behind him.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe Saquon. Okay. Jordan Malata. He's had a great season.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: He's playing well. Okay.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: He can lead the troops. But then I get to
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I really don't see any.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, Zach Bond is a more I'm-a-show-you type of
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: leader than talking about it. You know?
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Grenard is a leader, but he's got to be on
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: the field more. He's got to play more. He's been
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: injured too much.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Hey, Philly fans, game day is stressful enough.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Parking, traffic, long lines.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: We've all been there. But when it comes to your cannabis.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Camden Apothecary makes it easy. This is the dispensary for
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: sports fans. Just minutes outside of Philly with plenty of

  Speaker 4: made for Philly fans 21 and up.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: See, your hesitation tells me exactly what I'm thinking.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: There's no definitive, you.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Know, because when that question is asked from a former
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: player who watches his former team closely or from a
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: media person who watches and covers that team closely, usually
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: there's instantaneous answer.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, this player.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, when I covered a team, you know, back
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: in the day in the early 2000s, early mid 2000s,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you asked me that question.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's easy. Trot, dog.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying? You know, John Runyon, Trey Thomas,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you had a whole plethora of guys. And you're not
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the only one who has said it because I've had
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: that discussion with other people. And, you know, who's the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: leaders on this team?
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Let me see. BG? Oh, BG's gone. He's not here. Yeah,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: BG gone. Lane's gone too. Jesus. Who else is there? Kelsey.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Kelsey's gone. Fletcher ain't here. Fletcher.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Man, you digging deep into the earth now. But somebody
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: has to take control, other than Nick Sirianni. Now, at
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: this juncture, team on a five-game losing streak, what is
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's role in all this? Now, in years past,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: when things were going fine, I mean, you know, teams winning.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: You know, everybody's happy when a team's winning and everybody
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: gets to the playoffs. This is the first time in
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: his tenure in Philadelphia. Now, his first year they started
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: out losing, but they gained momentum.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: They won. He got in the playoffs.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: This is the first time in his tenure in Philadelphia
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Nick has had to go through something like this. What
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: is his role now in terms of holding this all together?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: That's what it's been, man.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: He's got to be that emotional leader, the guy that
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: pulls out what they're missing, pulls out that toughness that
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: they're not having. And I don't know how you do
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: that without going out there and having physicality on the field.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he can tell those veterans, hey, man,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: let's go. We got to get more physical. Let's put
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: the pads back on. Let's go out there and be
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: physical again and practice. I don't know if they got
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: that type of, you know, it has a lot to
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: do with injuries, man.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: As far as injuries being the main influence on it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: This is a tough situation, man, because I don't know
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: how to go forward and rectify the situation because the
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: situation to me, more so than anything, physicality.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Number one, but number two, health, health as well. Yeah. Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: And that's, I think that's one of the biggest things
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: right there. Their health is not, I mean, health is trash.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: They just don't have it.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: And not, not only that, I'd be, to be honest
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: with you, I would be shocked if Saquon plays on
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: a short week against Washington. Number one, Number two, we
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: saw Damian Pierce go to the locker room. So who's
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: running the ball next game?
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: We're going to hold trials at the Wawa.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: That's what we're going to do. What's wrong with you, man?
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Something wrong with you? No, we're going to St. Joe's Prep.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, jeez. Because where else are we going? We got
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Dan Blue. We got Blue. He's still there. Blue Bayou, okay.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Elijah? Yeah, we got him. That's it. Come on, man.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Come on, man.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like this from an Eagles standpoint.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: And I watched the 49ers go through this the last
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: two or three years. And they figured out a way
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: to get it done.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I don't see how they're doing it. Yet he did.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, and I don't understand, man. They still practicing
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: by that electrical place, man? Was it causing all this?
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. They don't have an electrical place by us.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Hey, maybe we need some electricity to jolt some of
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: these dudes, man.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's the stench from that little lake we used
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: to fish in over there.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it is, man.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when things are going bad, B. Brooks,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you got to laugh before you cry, right? And all
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: we can do right now.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: We're going to go take a bath in the lake, Minnetonka.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe 10 minutes there. Then he brought it. Oh, my goodness. Hey, man, look.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: We got 10 more weeks of this, man. 10 more weeks.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I can't deal with you for 10 more weeks, man.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. Come on, man. Come on. We'll be
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: in trouble, man, because we're going to tell the truth.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: That's the problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to tell
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: it like it is. That's the problem. We're going to
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: tell the truth. And I think that's what it is, man.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Health.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: And being physical, those are the two things that we're
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: lacking right now. You take those two things and you
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: change them around, that's not a lot.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: That's not a lot.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you can get guys playing physical, that
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be something we need to be talking about. But
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: if you can get guys playing physical and then get
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: them healthy, we.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Got a shot, man. We got an opportunity.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Well, we sit here and laugh now, and hopefully we'll
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: be smiling after Sunday night against the Washington Commanders. I
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see the matchup, number one. and then
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: talk about it the next day with my man B
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Brooks next week. So until next week, for Bear Brooks,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I'm Derek Gunn. This has been Birds Weekly, presented by
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: the inside of the Birds Network. Keep your fingers crossed, everybody.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: We need all the help we can get.
