Inside The Tape With Greg Cosell: "I've Enjoyed Watching (Eagles) Jordan Davis Play The Past Two Weeks" · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

  Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome back to Inside the Tape with Greg Cosel
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on Inside the Birds. I'm Jeff Mosher. I've got Greg Cosell.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: He's gonna help us break down the tape of the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Eagles thirty one nothing win over the Raiders in specifically
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the defense we did the offense in part one. This
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is part two. I guess we saved the best for
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: last because the defense, Greg allowed seventy five total yards.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And someone could say, but it's the Raiders, and someone
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: could say it was cold, and someone it's very uninfrequent
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and I think only the ninth time since two thousand
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that a team held another team to seventy five. Yeah,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just doesn't happen every day.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Look, the point is it's an NFL game. The Eagles
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: had lost three straight. You know, you got you got,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: you gotta go out and play. I mean, it's it
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter, you know. I mean, And like we said
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of the offensive segment, you know they
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: want to play to their standard. That's the goal. Now, Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: obviously there's specific things about every opponent that you're coaching,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: but you want to play to your standard.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Right, Let's talk about what Vic decided Vic Fangio decided
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: he wanted to do in this game from a coverage
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: standpoint and an aggression standpoint.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Well, this was a pure coverage game. They rushed five
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: one time in this game. They had a couple of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: sim pressures, but for the most part, this game was
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: all about rushing for and playing coverage. They rushed for
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: on twenty nine of pickets thirty dropbacks. It was a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: four man D line pass rush game with higher percentage
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: man coverage behind it. I mean, that's what this game.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Was, right, So he felt confident enough to not only
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: not to blitz to get a four man rush, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: also play more man coverage, more cover one than in
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the early plays.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's only a couple of things and they
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: know this. It's a below average NFL offensive line, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: there's only one receiver you really have to worry about,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and that's Brock Bowers. So, I mean, you know, we're
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: just being honest about the tape here. You know, none
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of this is a personal comment. You know, it's not
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a very you know, it's not a very good old line.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's in some ways and this
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: is an odd thing to say. It was a very
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: similar approach that he took in the Super Bowl when
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: they felt they could defeat the old line of the Chiefs,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and he literally rushed four on every play. You know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: he took the same approach.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, we said in the pregame show.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: By the way, in the Super Bowl it was thirty
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: four to nothing in the third quarter, so you could
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: argue that that approach. You know, in some ways the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: approach worked exactly the same. It's just that Mahomes is
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a little better than Picket, so they were able to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: make some plays, you know, and from the mid third
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: quarter on, right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So it looked like we continue to see Brendon Graham.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I know, he only played about seven snaps and he
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: got two sacks out of it, all on the interior,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: all on the interior, yep. And Jordan Davis, what kind
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of game do you yeah, because he came under the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: remember against that Bears game, we started to say, hey,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: he's gotten moved a little bit playing upright, it seems.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Like I last two games. You know, again, the tape
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: tells you everything. I've been really enjoying watching Jordan Davis
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: these last two weeks since you know, we had that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: game where he struggled a bit. I mean, he showed
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: two strong snapshots of power pass rush driving offensive lineman
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: back into the pocket. That's been a meaningful improvement in
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: his game as the season has progressed. He continues to
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: be a strong force inside in the run game. That
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: clearly shows up every week. I mean, he's become a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: very good football player. You know, maybe he's not the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: guy who's gonna get fifteen sacks. I doubt that no
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: matter how much he improves, but he's he's a guy there. Hey, look,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: they're using him now at times as a looper and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: inside stunt concepts. Who would have thought that amazing? Right?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like motion, Yeah, no, it's it's great double stunts.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: You observed another thing that we saw last week we
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: talked about that they continue to do. I think that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that just that's sort of a estament to the athleticism.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips has brought the versatility ye with the other
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: guys that they have.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Very athletic as well. Right, So they've got so people
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: understand what a double stunt means. It means that you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: have a stunt on each side on the same play,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: so you know, and normally you don't do a TE
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: on each side because then the loopers end up, you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: kind of going in the same spot. You can depending
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: on how you know how you work it out, but
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: normally you might do with TE on one side and
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: an ET on the other. And just so people understand
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: what that means, the first UH letter is the one
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the position that is the penetrator or the picker, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the second is the looper. So if it's TE, the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: tackle is the penetrator or the picker, and the end
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: is the looper.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, so that's what we saw up front.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: A good linebacker play again the Kobe Dean. Continue.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I love watching the Kobe Dean. You know, I happen
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to see I just caught this. I don't know how
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I caught it. Somebody asked, Daniel, did you see this interview?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Somebody asked Dan Landing when he was at Georgia, like,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: who was the one player that you know, really stood
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: out that you knew you how to get and really
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: like stood out when you when you were the DC
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: at Georgia. And he said, I'm probably going to get
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: into get into trouble for saying this, because obviously he's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: had so many guys who were like, you think of
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: his huge names and he said, it's n Kobe Dean.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: He said, he said, to Kobe Dean, we had to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: get him. And when he got here, the professionalism, the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: work ethic, the approach was just off the charts.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly a franchise changer for the for for Georgia,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and he's really helped.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: He's been so much fun to watch. I mean, he
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: had those two plays on the screens where he just
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: sees it and he goes. I mean, he's he's become
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a tempo setter for the defense.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So how did interview? What did what was the plan
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: for defending brock Powers?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know, there were a couple of times where I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: thought that they there were sort of brackets, just a
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: couple I didn't think that they went out of their way,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like you know, I mean
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: there were times Bond was on him. There were times Blankenship,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: who's not a great man to man cover player, who's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: played him man to man. I mean, you know, like
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I said, a couple of times they were there were brackets,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: but I didn't get the impression though the game plan was, oh,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: we better take care of Bowers or else right, I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: did not. Did you get that impression watching it?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: No, I sort of got the impression they weren't scared
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: of anybody.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, so, and I almost got the impression that
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: if Bowers made a play in the course of the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: entire game, you would tip your hat and move on
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to the next play.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he did. He had a couple of catches
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: where I thought that was a nice six for twenty
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: eight Yeah. Yeah, and they were happy to let him
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: catch you know, average Uh, I guess four yards to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: catch or whatever.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean my guess is if it was a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: different kind of game and they were a really good team,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: we might have seen some different things. But like I said,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: if he happened to catch a twenty five yard or
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, I think they just would have said,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: nice play and let's move on to the next one.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Basically what they did.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: That's you.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, I still like a good night out, but I'm
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: not always in the mood to drink. And that's why

  Speaker 1: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans twenty
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: one and up. All right, let's take a look at
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: some of the things to point out. I wanted to
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: start off with the first drive. It's fourth and six.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: This is an example I guess of the cover one
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that we saw Vic play, and.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: This play was blanken Chip was the matchup on burs
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: because Bond was matched on the running back. This was
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the one where Phillips tipped the throw right. Yes, And
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: by the way, if he didn't tip the throw, I
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: think Dean would have intercepted it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I think so too. It was a little short because
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of the tip, and Dean was wrong.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: And also Dean was an underneath lurk defender, so his
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: job here is to play any routes that come inside.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: None did so, and then he can just repicket and
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: let pickt take him to the throw. You'll see this.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: They're playing man and Blankenship is on Bowers and Bond's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: on the Uh where's Bowers right on top of the screen, right, Yeah,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that's Blankenship, I believe.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Uh no, no, because the genie sort of passes him
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: off there, unless that's not Bowers and I have the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: wrong number. Hold on, I could maybe Bowers. I'm sorry,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Bowers is in line on the left side of the line,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: right down below, right, Yeah, he's down below.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is Blankenship then playing him.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yep, didn't even look at him.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So the point is you'll see it from here
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that that Dean has no uh you know, he's a
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: lurk defender. So instead of this being robber, they call
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: this because it's a linebacker playing you know, a little closer.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: But he just slid over and you can see if
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Phillips doesn't tip this, I think Dean picks this off. Yeah,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: because look, Picket just drops back and it looks right
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: there and that's where he's throwing. Look. Look you can
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: see it clear as a belt. Yep, yep.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I know you mentioned Jordan Davis
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and I'll rewind a little bit, but look at him.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: By the way, No, Bowers is what number is Bowers?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Eighty nine? Right? Yeah?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I think actually it's I think eighty seven, is Meyer correct?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So by yeah, So it's not the blanket ship
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: on Bowers's. It was Jackson on Bowers correct, correct, So
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I was wrong on that.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: That's okay, it happens. So Jordan Davis does a really
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: nice job of pushing the left guard bat you're talking
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: about has improved faster, I mean, drives him back into
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett here. Yeah, and that cause and then you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like you said, Joe Phillips gets his hand on the ball,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Nikobe Dean dives and it's it's you know, incomplete yep.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: The thing about that was they started off in a
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: one high structure. I wanted to point that out because
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we always talk about how often they want two hot structure.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: But they were feeling.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Their oats, all right, and this play is going to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be the moro Jomo Sack. I believe that it's the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it's the third and ten in the first quarter. He
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: kind of puts a spin move.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: But again, like it looks like they're again in one
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: right cover one here they are is this one robber?
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Is this one robber? Because the safety came is I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: just saw the way ran in there and then obviously
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the sack the Yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: So that's yeah that they were playing man again here
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: This is a good view of the move that a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Jomo plays.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I actually keep playing it. Yeah yeah, that
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: he just beats the right guard. Yep.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: But that was a nice little spin move because it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: was originally a double team.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Where it was not the center that he beat. It's
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the center. It's the center. Yeah, it's Kapa. It's Kapa
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: who he beat. It's the center. Yep.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It looks like the left guard kind of just gives
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: himn initial punch before he leaves, and then you have
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a nice double double, smove, double spin, whatever you want
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to call it on there to get the sack.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Good game for him.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Uh, second quarter, third and five, Brandon Graham sack. Yeah
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: how about that? And again, what do we notice about
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the safeties? Greg cover one?
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yep? Cover one. Yeah, they're playing man.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And you got it looks like, yeah, Cooper de Jean
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is on the slot. I'm trying to see where.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Bowers is there.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hold on, I actually rewound it too much. And
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: this is again, get Joemo sack. Joe almost got long arms. Man,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: he is a really interesting guy.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Here you go.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so here's cover one, all right?
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Where is maybe he's not? That was up top releasing
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: into the releasing late right, and this this is just
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: gray and beating beating the right guard. Yeah, yes, it's
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: just yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So this is a new right guard for them, right,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Carlos or Rogers's.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Last right the rookie rookie right guard. Yeah, you beat
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: him in a one on one match up.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he put him on skates, drove him back, and bam,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: who was on?
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Who was on Bowers? Here?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll take it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, you moved on?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I can I can go back because I was curious too.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: When they're in man who's playing Bowers?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: It had the time? It is Blank and Ship because
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: that is Bowers.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go to the aerial view to take
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: a look because we saw he was on the bottom up.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Cop right, Yes, yeah, so that's Blank and Chip here yep, yep,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: that's Blank and Ship.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Yep. Boy, what great for? I mean, the pockets just
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: collapsed so quickly.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, look a look at Graham use his hands.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't have that much time.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: And this last clip we'll look at is the bot interception.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: You want to diagnose how this came to be?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this I mean this yeah, this is uh,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: this came on single high safety zone coverage concept. This
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: was zone. It was it had match principles as most
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: zones do. Bond. Bond did a great job here. He
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: felt Bower's route and he read Picket. I mean, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that's in zone. That's kind of what you want to do,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you know, you kind of you want to have a
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: feel for the routes. And he saw it. You know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you don't necessarily he's not necessarily matching it exactly, but
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: he has a feel for it. And then he looks
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: at Picket and he gets a sense of of you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: right there, he looks to Picket. Okay, but cantel he's
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: not playing man because theoretically he just let that's Bowers,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I believe, right, yes, yes, because he let Bowers essentially
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: run by him, you know, so he's not matching him
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: man to man per se. So but then Picket throws
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: it and he just he's in perfect position because he
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: sort of did a great job of feeling Bowers and
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: reading Picket. That's just really good linebacker play.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It's like a non a no panic type of move.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: You know, you got your on him. I mean, we
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: started to see this really developed last year. And we're
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: against Jacksonville Gate Week six or seven. But yeah, reads it,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: jumps it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Nah, that was it for mister Pickett. It was a
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: tough day for him. I felt felt a little bad
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: for him. He didn't really happen.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's you know, not that we're gonna
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: talk about Kenny Pickett. But I thought he could be
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: a solid pro and it's probably never gonna happen, you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: because that last year he had it Pit. I mean,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't think he'd be a superstar, you know, just
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: because he's not that overly gifted. But the way he
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: played his last year at Pitt, I thought that, you know,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: that would fit in the NFL. And it just the
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: things he showed that year he's never shown in the league.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: That's the crazy thing. I can't answer the why to that,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: but he's just never shown it true indeed. All right, Yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: this was a good you know again, they were a
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: good defense anyway. You know, they're not a bad defense,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you know. So they will see how the last three
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: games play out, you know that's uh. Look, they're gonna
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: win the division, so they're gonna have a home playoff
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: game at the Link and you know what, say what
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: you want Everybody can talk about all the teams in
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: the West, and there's some really good teams in the NFC,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: but it's hard to win at the Link in January,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: no doubt.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: All Right, we'll do it again next week. That was
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the Eagles defense against the Raiders again, a big thirty
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: one nothing win for Greg Cosell. I'm Jeff Mosher. You've
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: been watching Inside the Tape with Greg Cosell on Inside
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the Birds
