0:10
Speaker 1: Hey there, welcome to the week three recap of Birds Weekly,
0:14
Speaker 1: presented by the Inside the Birds Network. That's Barry Brooks,
0:17
Speaker 1: I'm Derrick Gunn, and oh my goodness, it was a
0:20
Speaker 1: Monday night fiasco in Chicago and B.
0:24
Speaker 2: Brooks.
0:25
Speaker 1: I have to start with this. After the game, your
0:29
Speaker 1: head coach, your quarterback, and a number of players all
0:34
Speaker 1: agreed in unison, we weren't ready for this game tonight.
0:39
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there thinking, wait a minute.
0:43
Speaker 3: No duh.
0:44
Speaker 1: You had eight days to get ready for this game, okay?
0:48
Speaker 1: You play once a week. You're leading your division, and
0:53
Speaker 1: you saw what happened in the landscape in your division.
0:56
Speaker 1: Dallas blew another game. Washington upset Seattle. Giants hold on
1:01
Speaker 1: to win a low-scoring game. And you're not ready Monday night.
1:05
Speaker 1: You're the only game in town on Monday night, and
1:08
Speaker 1: you're not ready? From the coaches on down to the players?
1:13
Speaker 1: I know you heard it. What did you think when
1:15
Speaker 1: you heard that?
1:17
Speaker 4: I didn't have to hear him say it. I mean,
1:19
Speaker 4: we saw. We all witnessed them getting their ass kicked
1:22
Speaker 4: all over the field. Coaches got outplayed.
1:26
Speaker 3: I mean, Vic Fangio had it handed to him on
1:28
Speaker 3: the plate. I mean, he.
1:31
Speaker 4: Got spanked against, you know what I mean? And ain't
1:35
Speaker 4: nothing else you can say about it. They got spanked, man.
1:38
Speaker 4: And I'm going to tell you the truth. It's the
1:43
Speaker 4: same stuff that's been happening the two weeks prior.
1:46
Speaker 1: Yes.
1:46
Speaker 3: We were just good enough to get through it.
1:47
Speaker 4: I mean, it was the exact same football they've been
1:52
Speaker 4: playing for the last two weeks. It's just they faced
1:55
Speaker 4: a team that was not actually better than them, but
1:59
Speaker 4: better than the two teams they played, which were bottom dwellers.
2:02
Speaker 4: And they finally, you know, face the team that they're ranked,
2:06
Speaker 4: you know, high enough that, you know, and they're good
2:08
Speaker 4: enough that they could take advantage of an Eagles team
2:11
Speaker 4: that just wasn't been, they haven't been prepared the entire season.
2:14
Speaker 4: They haven't been prepared, you know, from the first day,
2:16
Speaker 4: from the first snap. I mean, I'm going to say this,
2:19
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurst has been ready. But other than that, I
2:23
Speaker 4: don't see anybody else.
2:24
Speaker 3: Oh, I take that back. Quinion Mitchell is ready.
2:27
Speaker 2: Oh, he was balling.
2:28
Speaker 1: Yes.
2:28
Speaker 4: But those two are the only two players that I
2:31
Speaker 4: saw that balled out That last game. I mean, it
2:36
Speaker 4: was a shellacking. I mean, they served it up to
2:38
Speaker 4: him and made him like it. And, you know, they
2:40
Speaker 4: missed him doing that. They made me like it. I
2:43
Speaker 4: sat back there and saw Ben Johnson put a clinic
2:46
Speaker 4: on as far as running offensive plays.
2:48
Speaker 3: Yes.
2:49
Speaker 4: The way he was able to execute, you know, doing
2:52
Speaker 4: all the, you know, the motions and the different blocking
2:55
Speaker 4: schemes that he had implemented, man.
2:56
Speaker 3: He did everything from wham blocking to traps to counter.
3:02
Speaker 3: Counter Trey, they ran duo. They did whatever they wanted
3:08
Speaker 3: to do.
3:09
Speaker 4: And they ran it out of two tight end sets
3:11
Speaker 4: and both, you know, committed and lovely. They just going everywhere, blocking,
3:17
Speaker 4: running out on route.
3:18
Speaker 3: They did everything.
3:20
Speaker 4: We just got out maxed, out class, out coached, out physical,
3:24
Speaker 4: out everything. From the first snap to the last snap,
3:28
Speaker 4: there was no question in my mind who was going
3:30
Speaker 4: to win that game.
3:31
Speaker 3: No question.
3:32
Speaker 1: Hey, look, Ben Johnson came out, and we know he's
3:36
Speaker 1: considered one of the most creative offensive minds in the NFL.
3:40
Speaker 1: First two plays, you see, as Case Keenum is calling signals,
3:46
Speaker 1: you see the linebackers creeping up, creeping up to fill
3:49
Speaker 1: gaps because they're thinking, oh, we know they're going to
3:52
Speaker 1: try to come out and establish the run on us.
3:54
Speaker 2: Oh, no.
3:54
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson comes out throwing a football. You know, fake
3:57
Speaker 1: the handoff. Case Keenum, one, two, three, throw. Positive yards,
4:01
Speaker 1: positive yards. And that was the theme for most of
4:04
Speaker 1: the night, is that everything the Eagles thought Ben Johnson
4:09
Speaker 1: and Case Keenum were going to do, he didn't do it.
4:12
Speaker 1: And Case Keenum, 38 years old, hadn't thrown a pass
4:15
Speaker 1: in the NFL since Christmas Eve of 2023 when he
4:18
Speaker 1: was playing with Houston. Now, some people say, man, he
4:23
Speaker 1: was looking like Joe Montana. You know who he looked
4:25
Speaker 1: like to me? Brock Purdy in rhythmic throws.
4:29
Speaker 2: One, two, three.
4:30
Speaker 1: Man, every time he was throwing the ball, you got
4:31
Speaker 1: dudes standing wide open in the flats and DB's five
4:34
Speaker 1: yards behind him.
4:35
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the heck is going on here? And
4:37
Speaker 2: they didn't adjust. Vic Fangio's guys didn't adjust B. Brooks.
4:42
Speaker 2: I was shocked. Case Keenum had a clean jersey all
4:46
Speaker 2: stinking night.
4:47
Speaker 4: Bro, I mean, that's what I'm talking about. And We
4:50
Speaker 4: have been outmatching our class in the second half. I mean,
4:54
Speaker 4: we don't even know how to do any type of
4:56
Speaker 4: in-game adjustments. The second half, we have just been out-coached
4:59
Speaker 4: and out-physicaled and out-everything, man. We can't stop the run.
5:04
Speaker 4: We can't generate pass rush. We got guys that can cover.
5:07
Speaker 4: But now I'm looking at the safety. It's like, what
5:09
Speaker 4: are we going to do with safety? I mean, we
5:11
Speaker 4: looking at Drew McCool. I look at Drew McCool. I
5:13
Speaker 4: thought we was, you know, kind of safe with him.
5:15
Speaker 3: I thought.
5:16
Speaker 4: He was going to be the guy. You know, everybody
5:17
Speaker 4: said he was Teflon Don. You know, we know he's
5:20
Speaker 4: going to be starting.
5:21
Speaker 3: Should he be starting?
5:23
Speaker 4: What I saw that last game, well, the last three games,
5:27
Speaker 4: is a guy that's been outmatched in our class because
5:29
Speaker 4: he's still young. He doesn't know what's going on, man.
5:32
Speaker 4: He don't know anything about being in the NFL, man.
5:35
Speaker 4: He only played, what, a half a season last year?
5:37
Speaker 4: And you expect him to come in and play at
5:39
Speaker 4: a high level? He can't play at that level yet
5:41
Speaker 4: because he hasn't seen that level yet. He hasn't been
5:45
Speaker 4: around that type of level yet. So how do you
5:47
Speaker 4: expect him to play at that type of level? And,
5:49
Speaker 4: you know, with them bringing in the new guy, I
5:51
Speaker 4: forget what his name is.
5:52
Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
5:54
Speaker 4: From the Colts, the new guy they just got. Well,
5:59
Speaker 4: whatever it is, they're talking about, well, they brought him
6:02
Speaker 4: in to play safety. I'm thinking a little bit. I'm
6:05
Speaker 4: actually thinking, man.
6:06
Speaker 3: We may need to go ahead and.
6:08
Speaker 4: Just put him at the slot and put Coop at
6:13
Speaker 4: the safety.
6:13
Speaker 2: Position No, no, no, no.
6:18
Speaker 4: What else are we going to do? We can't play safety.
6:20
Speaker 4: We can't come up and stop the run. We can't cover.
6:23
Speaker 4: We need something out there to stop the bleeding.
6:26
Speaker 1: Coop can't do his job description as it is right now.
6:30
Speaker 2: I want to know where he's been for three games.
6:32
Speaker 2: I don't know.
6:33
Speaker 3: Well, man, he was kicking it, man. He was kicking it.
6:37
Speaker 3: You know what? The league was easy to him, man.
6:40
Speaker 2: He was on Celebrity Island somewhere, man.
6:44
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I mean.
6:45
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, just.
6:48
Speaker 4: And regardless of that, you know, let me just really
6:51
Speaker 4: say what I want to say, man.
6:52
Speaker 3: And what I'm saying is this team has always been
6:56
Speaker 3: built on the trenches.
6:57
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
6:58
Speaker 4: Defensive line, offensive line. The majority of money that's, you know, dictated... Yeah,
7:05
Speaker 4: the quarterback, he's up here. You know what I'm saying?
7:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:08
Speaker 3: All the rest of the money is dictated to the trenches.
7:13
Speaker 4: He paid both guys big money. Davis and Carter, big money.
7:18
Speaker 4: And neither one of them showed up and played. Now,
7:22
Speaker 4: I'm not talking behind their back or anything like that.
7:24
Speaker 4: I'm just telling the truth. The honest guy don't lie.
7:27
Speaker 4: I can sit down and talk to anybody about game planning.
7:31
Speaker 3: We can watch film together.
7:32
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm more than welcome to sit down and
7:35
Speaker 4: watch film with any of them because I see what's
7:37
Speaker 4: going on.
7:39
Speaker 3: I see guys getting their ass kicked. Offensive line?
7:42
Speaker 2: Come on, man.
7:43
Speaker 3: Come on, man. You know, I had high expectations for
7:46
Speaker 3: Tyler Steen.
7:48
Speaker 4: Another year developed. This is a contract year for him.
7:50
Speaker 4: You're supposed to be balling. This is a contract year.
7:52
Speaker 4: You're supposed to be out going out and get that money, man.
7:55
Speaker 4: You got to play better than you're playing. I mean,
7:56
Speaker 4: I saw guys kicking his ass. These are just guys.
7:59
Speaker 4: These are just guys. These are guys. Just guys. I mean,
8:03
Speaker 4: I don't see the same caliber of guys, you know,
8:06
Speaker 4: that would dictate this type of, you know, Lack of blocking, man.
8:13
Speaker 4: We got running backs and quarterbacks running for their lives, man.
8:16
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
8:18
Speaker 5: Come on, man.
8:19
Speaker 4: And I'm looking at him like, what is going on?
8:21
Speaker 4: I understand Jerkins. Jerkins moving over to the left side.
8:24
Speaker 4: He say he hasn't done it.
8:25
Speaker 3: You know, I get it.
8:26
Speaker 4: You know, he just practiced two weeks and being a
8:32
Speaker 4: left guard.
8:32
Speaker 3: But no, no. It comes a time where you got
8:37
Speaker 3: to blow up, let him drop, and ball. Period.
8:41
Speaker 2: What do you mean let him drop?
8:43
Speaker 3: This ball's got to drop, bro. I'm not trying to
8:45
Speaker 3: hear nothing else.
8:46
Speaker 2: I didn't think you would come out and say it.
8:48
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
8:49
Speaker 3: I'm being realistic. It's not a cuss word.
8:51
Speaker 4: I'm just being very honest with what I'm witnessing out there.
8:56
Speaker 4: He is not playing thick. We understand with the guard position,
9:04
Speaker 4: that's the fastest way to the quarterback. Besides, it's the
9:07
Speaker 4: fastest way to the quarterback. He wasn't playing well at
9:09
Speaker 4: guard the first week. And then we move here, he's
9:12
Speaker 4: definitely not playing center, but he's definitely not playing good
9:15
Speaker 4: at guard right now.
9:17
Speaker 3: He's got to do something. Maybe we go get Micah,
9:20
Speaker 3: the rookie. Put him in there.
9:22
Speaker 4: Because right now, I just don't see anything. We need
9:25
Speaker 4: to stop the bleeding, man. I'm tired of getting Jalen
9:28
Speaker 4: Hurts crushed. You know what I'm saying? And then when
9:30
Speaker 4: that cat hit him, bro, I didn't see anybody get,
9:34
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, bro... i know they cut
9:39
Speaker 4: it off i know i understand i get that they
9:42
Speaker 4: cut it off you couldn't see everybody right comes up
9:45
Speaker 4: right but this is why this is why i'm saying
9:47
Speaker 4: this and i want them to hear it too so
9:50
Speaker 4: they can say that they come back and say oh
9:51
Speaker 4: people's just talking talking.

12:40
Speaker 4: The reason why you didn't see them in the film,
12:44
Speaker 4: the reason why you didn't see them come up and
12:46
Speaker 4: fight for Jalen when he got knocked out, when he
12:49
Speaker 4: got decapitated on the sideline, is because they don't freaking hustle.
12:54
Speaker 3: They don't finish plays. They walking around while the play
12:57
Speaker 3: is still going.
12:58
Speaker 4: While you see the Bears going out there and finishing plays,
13:01
Speaker 4: running to the ball. Their whole damn defense was right there,
13:06
Speaker 4: and they walking around spectating.
13:09
Speaker 3: You want to spectate, buy a ticket, man.
13:11
Speaker 2: No, realistically, you know.
13:13
Speaker 3: What I'm saying?
13:14
Speaker 4: And they're like, well, they got their, no. It's no
13:17
Speaker 4: such thing as getting there late. You run to the ball,
13:20
Speaker 4: you finish the play. Too many times I see them
13:23
Speaker 4: like this and watching and spectating.
13:26
Speaker 3: Now, if I'm lying, I'm dying.
13:29
Speaker 4: They need to finish plays. The Bears finish plays. The
13:34
Speaker 4: Commanders finish plays. The Titans finish plays.
13:38
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:39
Speaker 4: We don't finish playing. It's too much walking around. Too
13:42
Speaker 4: much spectating.
13:44
Speaker 3: What are we doing?
13:44
Speaker 4: I can remember when I was playing, bro, I promise you, dog,
13:47
Speaker 4: honest to goodness, I'm playing for the Steelers after every play.
13:52
Speaker 3: If you didn't make it to the camera, bro, that
13:55
Speaker 3: was a fine, bro.
13:56
Speaker 2: What?
13:57
Speaker 4: If you wasn't running to the ball, it was a fine.
14:01
Speaker 4: We was taking people out, bro.
14:03
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
14:04
Speaker 4: Don't stand around the pile. They changed that rule because
14:07
Speaker 4: of us, bro. Bro, I'm telling you, Alan Fanica was
14:11
Speaker 4: the king of that. The king of that.
14:14
Speaker 3: Oh, sit there, you know, sit there around Apollo if
14:16
Speaker 3: you want to. He gonna clear that out. All of them, bro.
14:20
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
14:21
Speaker 4: And the reason why you don't see them come and
14:24
Speaker 4: you see Jalen, you know what I'm saying, sitting there
14:26
Speaker 4: by himself with Smitty. Smitty the only one they're trying to,
14:30
Speaker 4: you know, he about to get a fine. And that's
14:34
Speaker 4: another thing. I done had, I done been fined three
14:37
Speaker 4: times for fighting for my quarterback three times. I only paid,
14:44
Speaker 4: even though I got a fine, I only paid a
14:47
Speaker 4: half a fine. The only reason I paid half a
14:49
Speaker 4: fine is because it was a young quarterback and he
14:52
Speaker 4: couldn't afford to pay the entire fine. I said, man,
14:55
Speaker 4: I'll pay half. Don't worry about it. I'll pay the half, bro.
14:58
Speaker 4: Because quarterbacks know you there fighting for them. Jalen was
15:02
Speaker 4: there by himself, man. Him and Smitty. Smitty got like
15:05
Speaker 4: five guys around him, big boys around him. He still
15:08
Speaker 4: want to fight. Nobody got fined. Nobody got a late hit. Man,
15:12
Speaker 4: I'll take that hit, bro. I'll take that hit. I'll
15:15
Speaker 4: take the 15 yards, man, because you don't hit my
15:18
Speaker 4: quarterback like that.
15:19
Speaker 1: Now, there's another camera angle that shows more players came
15:24
Speaker 1: over there and there was a lot of pushing and shoving.
15:26
Speaker 2: We didn't see that.
15:27
Speaker 1: We saw Smitty being surrounded by Bears pushing and shoving.
15:31
Speaker 1: But there is another camera angle that shows offensive linemen
15:34
Speaker 1: coming over and stuff like that.
15:36
Speaker 3: Coming over.
15:37
Speaker 4: They should have been there, D-Gun. They should have been there.
15:41
Speaker 4: That means you're finishing the play. Wherever the ball is,
15:44
Speaker 4: you got to go. You got to go. Why are
15:48
Speaker 4: you not right there around your quarterback running out of bounds?
15:52
Speaker 4: You got to finish the play, man. We don't finish
15:54
Speaker 4: the play. And that's the honest to goodness truth. You
15:58
Speaker 4: sit down and watch this game. I'm watching it again.
16:00
Speaker 3: I'm watching. And I'm looking at how.
16:02
Speaker 4: Many times I see guys, guys are still running around.
16:06
Speaker 4: They hitting your running back, knocking your receiver out. And
16:08
Speaker 4: they like this, spectating. Oh, that was a nice run.
16:12
Speaker 4: What is going on, man? They could have sat up
16:16
Speaker 4: there next to me in the office with me. That's
16:18
Speaker 4: what they could have done. You know what I'm saying?
16:20
Speaker 4: Sit down next to me. We can sit down, chop
16:21
Speaker 4: it up. I had a nice little, you know, bowl
16:24
Speaker 4: of noodles. You know, I got to share my bowl
16:26
Speaker 4: of noodles with you.
16:26
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
16:27
Speaker 3: Come on, man. You know?
16:29
Speaker 4: It just doesn't make sense to me, you know? And
16:31
Speaker 4: if I'm lying, man, come on, man. Let's sit down
16:33
Speaker 4: and watch film together.
16:33
Speaker 3: That's all I want to do.
16:34
Speaker 4: If I'm lying, sit down and watch film. Because I
16:37
Speaker 4: see others running to the ball. I see Wright, Darnell Wright,
16:43
Speaker 4: picking his runner back up.
16:45
Speaker 3: I see that.
16:48
Speaker 4: I saw none of that from the birds. And that
16:49
Speaker 4: comes from not... They're not finishing plays, man. They don't
16:53
Speaker 4: have the enthusiasm, the drive right now to... To say
16:59
Speaker 4: anything but, all right, we're an average team with above
17:03
Speaker 4: average talent. That's a travesty because we got great talent,
17:09
Speaker 4: but the talent means nothing. You know, hard work beats
17:13
Speaker 4: talent every single day. And right now I'm seeing guys
17:17
Speaker 4: that are working harder than they are that are beating
17:20
Speaker 4: them because they're not working as hard as they should
17:23
Speaker 4: be working.
17:25
Speaker 3: And, you know, they can say what they want to say.
17:27
Speaker 3: They can cuss me out. They can do whatever they
17:29
Speaker 3: want to say. Oh, he don't know what the hell
17:30
Speaker 3: he talking about.
17:32
Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
17:33
Speaker 4: Let's watch the eye in the sky. The eye in
17:35
Speaker 4: the sky don't lie. They don't finish plays, man. They
17:39
Speaker 4: just don't, man.
17:40
Speaker 3: And that's shocking to me. That's shocking, man, because I
17:43
Speaker 3: know the type of player Lane Johnson is.
17:45
Speaker 4: Jordan Malata. You know, I know the type of players
17:47
Speaker 4: they are. But I haven't seen the consistency of running
17:51
Speaker 4: and finishing plays. Just finishing plays? will take their game
17:57
Speaker 4: from here to here easily, from right here to right
18:00
Speaker 4: here easily. Because when you're finishing plays, that means you're
18:03
Speaker 4: finishing blocks. When you're finishing blocks, that means that's one
18:05
Speaker 4: less person hitting your running back.
18:09
Speaker 2: So come on, man.
18:10
Speaker 4: Man, it's irritating, bro. It's irritating, man, because I got
18:13
Speaker 4: so much faith. And when I speak on the Eagles winning,
18:18
Speaker 4: I'm saying it from my heart.
18:19
Speaker 3: I had them winning 31-24. because that's what.
18:25
Speaker 4: They should be winning by. There's no way we should
18:29
Speaker 4: have gotten beat for a Case Keenum-led team because Johnson
18:35
Speaker 4: out-coached my boy Vic Fangio, man. Vic is a great guy, man,
18:39
Speaker 4: but he got out-coached, man, because they did everything, man.
18:42
Speaker 4: They were running wham plays. Wham plays is when you
18:44
Speaker 4: have a tight end going to block a defensive end
18:47
Speaker 4: or going to block.
18:50
Speaker 3: A defensive tackle.
18:53
Speaker 4: He's going in to hit him, and he's creating separation,
18:56
Speaker 4: and the runner back's cutting right off of him. Swift
18:58
Speaker 4: ran like he was, you know, Walter Payton out there.
19:01
Speaker 4: He looked like Smooters out there. You know what I'm saying?
19:04
Speaker 3: You know, he's.
19:04
Speaker 4: Slowing down speed. Man, that's one kid I saw, man.
19:10
Speaker 4: He wanted to beat us so bad. He wanted to
19:13
Speaker 4: beat us badder than anybody on that field, and he
19:15
Speaker 4: showed it, bro.
19:16
Speaker 2: He showed it.
19:17
Speaker 1: Since you brought up the offensive line, let's go inside
19:20
Speaker 1: the line. And the first half, Saquon, he was busting
19:24
Speaker 1: the Bears' defense up, man. He had 73 yards rushing.
19:28
Speaker 1: They were having a lot of success running to the
19:30
Speaker 1: left side. Now, from my perspective, I thought Cam Juergens
19:35
Speaker 1: played a better game in the first half. I thought
19:37
Speaker 1: Kendall played a better game in the first half. We'll
19:40
Speaker 1: get to the second half in a minute. But what
19:42
Speaker 1: did you see from them and the offensive line in
19:46
Speaker 1: general that they were able to move the pile with
19:50
Speaker 1: authority in their first half?
19:52
Speaker 3: Blitz. Blitz.
19:55
Speaker 4: Blitzes aren't just for pass plays. They're run blitzes also.
19:59
Speaker 4: And a lot of them were run blitzes, man. They're
20:02
Speaker 4: not going to sit there and let you.
20:06
Speaker 3: Get up on their.
20:06
Speaker 4: Linebackers like they were. They had free access to the linebacks.
20:09
Speaker 4: They would hit and get up to the linebackers in
20:11
Speaker 4: the first half. And then this, when you saw Juergens,
20:15
Speaker 4: you saw Drew, you saw Steen, get up on the linebacks.
20:19
Speaker 4: Once you got to the second level, that means, you know,
20:21
Speaker 4: you're running back. You got Saquon against the safety. I'll
20:24
Speaker 4: take that all day.
20:25
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
20:26
Speaker 4: He gets to the third level before he gets in touch.
20:28
Speaker 4: Second level before he gets in touch. I'll take that
20:29
Speaker 4: all day, man. But they made adjustments.
20:33
Speaker 3: What's his name? Dennis Heath. He said, you know what?
20:37
Speaker 4: You're not going to do this anymore. Dennis Allen was like,
20:40
Speaker 4: you know what? You're not going to do this anymore.
20:42
Speaker 4: I'm going to send blitzes. I'm going to get penetration.
20:44
Speaker 4: Penetration kills run plays. Those ends got up starting to
20:48
Speaker 4: set that. They started to set the edge. And once
20:51
Speaker 4: they set the edge, they funneled everything back inside. And
20:54
Speaker 4: before you knew it, the linebackers were running through and
20:56
Speaker 4: they're making plays in the backfield.
21:00
Speaker 3: That's what happened.
21:01
Speaker 4: Just like, you know, in the second half, the same blitzes.
21:05
Speaker 4: You had our boy, he was a linebacker to play here.
21:07
Speaker 4: He's from Chicago. He left here and went there.
21:09
Speaker 2: We drafted him.
21:09
Speaker 3: T.J.
21:10
Speaker 1: Edwards?
21:11
Speaker 3: T.J.
21:11
Speaker 1: Edwards.
21:12
Speaker 2: T.J.
21:12
Speaker 3: Edwards came up and he mugged the guard.
21:15
Speaker 4: First time he came up on a blitz, he mugged
21:18
Speaker 4: the guard, meaning he came up in the guard's face
21:21
Speaker 4: and held him there, and then he brought two from
21:23
Speaker 4: the outside.
21:24
Speaker 3: Jordan Malata knows he's got to stay MDM.
21:28
Speaker 4: If that linebacker comes up and he initiates with that guard,
21:32
Speaker 4: that means he can't go out to that little end.
21:34
Speaker 3: You got to leave the wide man to the quarterback.
21:37
Speaker 4: Don't let the defensive end hit the quarterback. Let that
21:40
Speaker 4: little bitty guy on the outside, let him get him.
21:42
Speaker 4: So you got to stop him.
21:43
Speaker 3: You got to MD in him. And yes, you got
21:46
Speaker 3: two guys. But you, man, you six foot eight, bro.
21:48
Speaker 3: You can hold off two guys by yourself. You know
21:50
Speaker 3: what I'm saying?
21:51
Speaker 4: But he should have stayed in with that little guy.
21:54
Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, Jalen throws and he almost
21:55
Speaker 4: gets the pick. They run into the second half, do
22:00
Speaker 4: the same thing, but they run. TJ Evans comes to
22:02
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage like he's going to blitz. But
22:04
Speaker 4: this time, he just won straight out. And he goes out,
22:07
Speaker 4: and he runs the same pattern as the receiver, and
22:10
Speaker 4: he turns around Smitty, and he's right there to make
22:13
Speaker 4: a play.
22:13
Speaker 3: And Jalen said, he chalked up, yeah, that's me.
22:15
Speaker 2: That's me.
22:16
Speaker 3: I made a mistake.
22:17
Speaker 4: I should have hit the rookie on that play. Yeah,
22:19
Speaker 4: he should have thrown it to the outside guy. But,
22:22
Speaker 4: I mean, that's just a product of us not going
22:28
Speaker 4: in and making in-game adjustments and then second half adjustments.
22:32
Speaker 3: We've been beating the second half all three games.
22:35
Speaker 1: Third quarter has been this team's Achilles heel the entire
22:38
Speaker 1: three games this season. You look at the first half,
22:42
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense had 186 yards of offense. The entire
22:47
Speaker 1: second half, they had a grand total of 62 yards
22:51
Speaker 1: of offense. The third quarter alone, their first three possessions,
22:57
Speaker 1: Three and out. The fourth possession, pick. And I don't
23:02
Speaker 1: know for the life of me how they sat there
23:04
Speaker 1: for 12 minutes at halftime and talked about what they
23:07
Speaker 1: needed to do because it was still very much a game.
23:10
Speaker 1: It was only 10-7 coming out of the locker room, okay?
23:13
Speaker 1: What did you talk about at halftime? Because the Bears
23:16
Speaker 1: made adjustments, and in this game, Barrett, as you know,
23:18
Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you this, you played this game.
23:20
Speaker 2: A long time.
23:21
Speaker 1: It's point-counterpoint. You make an adjustment, we make an adjustment.
23:25
Speaker 1: You make another adjustment, we make another adjustment. Chicago's making adjustments.
23:30
Speaker 1: The Eagles did not and got their behinds whacked over
23:34
Speaker 1: the last 30 minutes.
23:36
Speaker 4: Well, D-Gun, we can take this same thing, this same podcast,
23:43
Speaker 4: and we can run it for all three games.
23:47
Speaker 2: Yes. All three games.
23:50
Speaker 4: We come out in the second half and we take
23:53
Speaker 4: a dump on ourselves. We don't do anything to combat
23:56
Speaker 4: what they do. They go in and they have in-game adjustments.
24:00
Speaker 3: We don't.
24:02
Speaker 4: We come out in the second half, it's just we're
24:04
Speaker 4: better than the first two teams. And they just play
24:10
Speaker 4: better than we do. We just come out of the
24:12
Speaker 4: game by the skin of our teeth. How are we
24:14
Speaker 4: having a game-saving drive by Jalen Hurts against a team
24:18
Speaker 4: that sucks?
24:20
Speaker 3: The Titans are horrible. Horrible.
24:23
Speaker 4: So, I mean, I knew this division was going to
24:24
Speaker 4: catch up with us. I didn't think it was going
24:26
Speaker 4: to be this soon. But maybe we need this ass-whooping.
24:28
Speaker 4: Maybe we need this. You know what I'm saying? Maybe
24:30
Speaker 4: we get ourselves straight. Maybe they listen to this and say, hey,
24:34
Speaker 4: he don't know what he's talking about.
24:36
Speaker 3: We hustle. We hustle.
24:38
Speaker 4: And then they look at the film like, oh, maybe
24:41
Speaker 4: Big Brooks knows what he's talking about. Because I do
24:43
Speaker 4: see guys running to the ball, and we watch them
24:46
Speaker 4: run to the ball. I know that doesn't mean anything
24:52
Speaker 4: to a lot of people.
24:53
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people are like, what is
24:55
Speaker 3: he talking about? But running to the ball, when you're there,
24:59
Speaker 3: what if a fumble happens? What if a fumble?
25:03
Speaker 4: You're running to the ball, you can go get the fumble.
25:07
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? You can stop a play
25:12
Speaker 4: from happening. You can go defend your quarterback, most of all.
25:18
Speaker 4: I don't care what angle it was, man. They should
25:21
Speaker 4: have been there before that static even started.
25:23
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
25:25
Speaker 4: They shouldn't have been running over there afterwards. They should
25:28
Speaker 4: have been there before the static even started. They should
25:31
Speaker 4: have been following him, running out of bounds. They should
25:34
Speaker 4: have been right there to pick him up. That's your quarterback, man.
25:39
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
25:40
Speaker 3: Come on, man.
25:41
Speaker 4: I mean, if I didn't like a quarterback, if he's
25:43
Speaker 4: my quarterback at the time, I'm still going to go
25:46
Speaker 4: out there and make sure that he okay.
25:48
Speaker 3: I didn't see that, man. I didn't see it.
25:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're wearing the same jersey, that's your brother,
25:53
Speaker 1: whether you like him or not. And in the heat
25:55
Speaker 1: of battle, you stand up for your people. And speaking
25:58
Speaker 1: of that plague, that Jalen got wrecked on the sideline. Now,
26:03
Speaker 1: his head snapped back. He didn't hit his head on
26:05
Speaker 1: the turf. When he rolled over, he took his time
26:08
Speaker 1: getting up. And all of a sudden, the official said,
26:11
Speaker 1: we need to check him for a concussion. Lo and behold,
26:15
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton comes in, the red rifle. And I don't
26:20
Speaker 1: know what he was looking at at the end zone
26:22
Speaker 1: because there was no white jersey near where he threw
26:25
Speaker 1: the ball. But first of all, your thoughts on them
26:27
Speaker 1: pulling Jalen for concussion protocol. Because some people believe the
26:34
Speaker 1: league is always out to get the Eagles.
26:38
Speaker 2: Always out to get the Eagles.
26:40
Speaker 1: And that was an instance where they were trying to
26:43
Speaker 1: stop the Eagles drive and get the red rifle in
26:46
Speaker 1: there to play right into the Bears' hands.
26:48
Speaker 2: First of all, isn't that a little far-fetched? It is, man.
26:51
Speaker 4: And you heard Jay. I mean, you saw Jay was like,
26:54
Speaker 4: helmet it. Helmet it.
26:56
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
26:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.
26:57
Speaker 3: He wanted his helmet. He wanted to get back out there.
27:00
Speaker 4: And then when he did leave the tent and sat
27:01
Speaker 4: out there, they were still looking for it, you know,
27:04
Speaker 4: trying to see what was going on, if he's really,
27:06
Speaker 4: you know, all this stuff, you know. And then he
27:08
Speaker 4: didn't get his helmet until later on. So I thought
27:11
Speaker 4: that was a travesty. I thought you shouldn't have done that.
27:13
Speaker 2: But, hey, it happens. I get it.
27:17
Speaker 3: But you got to.
27:18
Speaker 4: veteran quarterback who's played just as long as Keenan.
27:27
Speaker 3: And he comes in and at no point did I
27:30
Speaker 3: see this guy open. What the hell was you looking at?
27:34
Speaker 3: What was you looking at, man?
27:37
Speaker 4: And then what everybody that I heard was accountable for
27:41
Speaker 4: their actions, except for him. He gonna say something along
27:45
Speaker 4: the lines of, well, I wish.
27:46
Speaker 1: We'd have scored on the two plays you gave to Saquon.
27:53
Speaker 2: What?
27:54
Speaker 3: What? Come on, man. You don't say that, man. You
28:01
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? Come on, man. I wish we'd
28:02
Speaker 3: have scored. I wish we'd have scored also.
28:05
Speaker 4: I wish instead of, you know what I'm saying, you know,
28:08
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley, you know, kind of putting the ball out there. Man,
28:11
Speaker 4: run that guy over, man. And I understand why he didn't.
28:14
Speaker 4: You know, he got the neck roll on, you know,
28:15
Speaker 4: his shoulder and everything. You don't want to mess it up.
28:18
Speaker 4: But shoot, you know, last year, two years ago, Saquon
28:21
Speaker 4: would have, I'm going in. You can't stop me. You
28:26
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying? You're a rookie safety?
28:28
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, man.
28:29
Speaker 3: I done ran him over, man.
28:31
Speaker 4: But, you know, it's the nature of the game, man.
28:33
Speaker 4: I understand he was trying to protect himself because he's,
28:35
Speaker 4: you know, he's been hurt, man. He's taking some shots, man.
28:37
Speaker 3: Because why?
28:38
Speaker 4: Because He's taking shots because guys aren't helping him. They're
28:43
Speaker 4: not finishing plays. You can take a lot of heat.
28:45
Speaker 3: Off of them. You know, so it is what it is, man.
28:49
Speaker 3: It is what it is.
28:50
Speaker 2: I sit here perplexed.
28:51
Speaker 1: You brought up two names and I'd mentioned them on
28:54
Speaker 1: our Sunday night post game show.
28:55
Speaker 2: I do with Seth Joyner and Mark for Zeta.
28:59
Speaker 1: And I said, Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter got paid
29:04
Speaker 1: this off season. They got paid. Now, Jordan Davis is
29:08
Speaker 1: not known as a pass rusher. He's a run stuffer, okay?
29:12
Speaker 1: But Jalen Carter is supposed to be your elite, all right,
29:16
Speaker 1: pass rusher. Sometimes that dude's like he's in the witness
29:20
Speaker 1: protection program, man. You don't hear from him.
29:22
Speaker 2: And I don't understand.
29:24
Speaker 1: I don't understand with the money that they've invested in
29:27
Speaker 1: the front seven. How they can't control the line of
29:31
Speaker 1: scrimmage better than what we've seen a three-week sample of.
29:34
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. And it's like nobody's afraid
29:38
Speaker 1: to run against them anymore, man. I don't understand it. Well,
29:42
Speaker 1: next time you talk to my partner, Seth.
29:45
Speaker 3: Yeah.
29:46
Speaker 4: All you gotta do is tell Seth, Seth, they're double
29:50
Speaker 4: teaming and getting up on the backer.
29:51
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:52
Speaker 3: He gonna lose his mind.
29:53
Speaker 4: Yes.
29:54
Speaker 2: He already has twice.
29:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
29:56
Speaker 4: He gonna say, he say, first of all, on the
29:58
Speaker 4: double team, you got to be so stout that the
30:01
Speaker 4: double team, they can't get off to get up to
30:03
Speaker 4: the second level because you're eating up the double team.
30:06
Speaker 3: So neither one of those guys, either Carter or Davis,
30:08
Speaker 3: are eating up the double team.
30:10
Speaker 4: They're allowing guys to block them one-on-one, which allows the
30:14
Speaker 4: other guys that are supposed to be double team to
30:16
Speaker 4: get up on our backers. And right now our backers
30:19
Speaker 4: aren't playing... consistently enough in their job to do the
30:23
Speaker 4: things they need to do. They're running under blocks. They're
30:25
Speaker 4: running over blocks instead of just taking on. And that's
30:28
Speaker 4: your gap? Take on the guy, take your gap, and
30:31
Speaker 4: then play through it. Too many times I'm seeing, you know,
30:35
Speaker 4: guys run up under blocks. And that's, you know, and
30:38
Speaker 4: Vaughn doesn't do it a lot. Vaughn doesn't do it
30:40
Speaker 4: a lot. But everybody else is.
30:44
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? I'm going to say, you know, because,
30:46
Speaker 3: I mean, Campbell needs to, Stop running under blocks.
30:49
Speaker 4: If you got outside me, if you got a gap
30:51
Speaker 4: ahead of him, you got to get over that block.
30:53
Speaker 3: You got to fight through that block. You got to
30:55
Speaker 3: get over there to make a play. Turn that stuff
30:57
Speaker 3: back inside. You know what I'm saying? Safeties.
31:03
Speaker 4: That's another conversation, man. I don't know what we're talking about.
31:06
Speaker 4: We're talking about Dylan Carter and you know what I'm saying?
31:11
Speaker 1: Ojo.
31:11
Speaker 2: We're talking those.
31:12
Speaker 3: Guys right now. Penetration kills running plays. We're not getting
31:14
Speaker 3: any penetration. And we're not eating up double teams, you
31:17
Speaker 3: got to do one of the two.
31:19
Speaker 4: I can understand if they get up on the back
31:20
Speaker 4: because you're getting penetration, getting in the field and disrupting
31:23
Speaker 4: the running game.
31:25
Speaker 3: You get up the field, you do that.
31:27
Speaker 4: All you got to do is make that running back
31:30
Speaker 4: stutter a little bit, you know, make him change direction,
31:33
Speaker 4: make him, you know what I'm saying, stop and start.
31:35
Speaker 4: If you can make him stop and start, you've done
31:37
Speaker 4: your job because now the rest of the troops can come.
31:40
Speaker 4: But these guys ain't getting up the field and stopping
31:42
Speaker 4: that penetration or they're not eating.
31:43
Speaker 3: Up two blocks so the backers can run free. They're
31:47
Speaker 3: not doing that. And we're getting on these backers.
31:50
Speaker 4: About them not being able to, you know, they're running
31:53
Speaker 4: under blocks, they're running over blocks.
31:55
Speaker 3: We're getting on them about that.
31:57
Speaker 4: But they shouldn't have guys on them because you got
31:59
Speaker 4: two studs who I thought were studs, well, three studs,
32:03
Speaker 4: Mauro Jomo, Davis, and Carter. They should be getting more
32:08
Speaker 4: penetration up the field. You know what I'm saying? I
32:11
Speaker 4: thought this was going to be a gig back game.
32:13
Speaker 4: I thought Darnell Wright was going to get his lunch
32:15
Speaker 4: handed to him because Carter was pissed off at what
32:18
Speaker 4: happened the year before.
32:20
Speaker 3: But they all made it known, hey, this is not
32:22
Speaker 3: the same team from last year. This is a new team.
32:25
Speaker 3: I held grudges, dog. I still got a grudge right now.
32:28
Speaker 3: I still do.
32:29
Speaker 4: Right now, I'm still looking for guys that, you know
32:31
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, I promise you. Aranda Barber, no. He
32:36
Speaker 4: crap black bopped me, man. I just recently found out
32:38
Speaker 4: it wasn't him.
32:39
Speaker 2: He's still talking about Rondé Barber.
32:42
Speaker 4: I'm still looking for Rondé Barber, man. And I know
32:44
Speaker 4: he didn't do it, but he was the one that
32:46
Speaker 4: was laughing, man.
32:46
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
32:48
Speaker 4: Rondé Barber hit me, man, and I'm still pissed off
32:50
Speaker 4: because I thought it was him because all.
32:51
Speaker 3: I heard was... And I'm out, man. You know what
32:54
Speaker 3: I'm saying?
32:55
Speaker 4: I'm on one knee. I'm looking up. I can't see, man.
32:57
Speaker 4: I see like five people. There's only two people there.
32:59
Speaker 4: I see five. You know what I'm saying? You're a
33:02
Speaker 4: God-fearing man. You're a God-fearing man. What happened to, you know...
33:06
Speaker 4: Live and let live.
33:07
Speaker 2: Forgive and forget. What happened to that?
33:10
Speaker 3: I do forgive. I just didn't forget. I'm sorry.
33:12
Speaker 4: I mean, I got one half of that. I didn't
33:14
Speaker 4: forget about it. You know what I'm saying?
33:16
Speaker 3: I didn't, man.
33:18
Speaker 2: I didn't.
33:18
Speaker 4: And it wasn't until two years ago that one of
33:21
Speaker 4: the producers saw the play. Mike Mulhern saw the play.
33:25
Speaker 4: He said, man, it wasn't him. It was Warren Sapp
33:31
Speaker 4: that hit you.
33:32
Speaker 3: Oh.
33:32
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, man.
33:34
Speaker 4: That kind of makes more sense because it's a little
33:36
Speaker 4: more thump. Like, a Rondé Barber ain't got enough ass
33:38
Speaker 4: to be hitting me like.
33:39
Speaker 3: That, bro. He just don't. You know what I'm saying? But,
33:42
Speaker 3: you know, all I heard was him get looked up.
33:44
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? And that's what happened, man. But,
33:47
Speaker 3: you know, my boy Sap got me. He got me.
33:49
Speaker 3: But I'm still looking for a Rondé for laughing, bro.
33:52
Speaker 1: And your coach, Nick Sirianni, explain this to me. He
33:56
Speaker 1: goes for it on fourth and five. but doesn't go
33:59
Speaker 1: for a fourth and one and a half yard. Now
34:03
Speaker 1: he's been known during his tenure as the Philadelphia Eagles
34:07
Speaker 1: head coach.
34:07
Speaker 2: Of being a gambler.
34:09
Speaker 1: And nine times out of 10, especially if it's one
34:12
Speaker 1: yard with a tush puss and I'll push and all
34:14
Speaker 1: that stuff. He's going to get that first step. And
34:17
Speaker 1: I'm thinking you're trying to get the momentum back in
34:20
Speaker 1: your favor and you conceded defeat on a fourth and
34:24
Speaker 1: one and a half and give them the ball back.
34:26
Speaker 1: And I'm like, and then after the, after the game,
34:28
Speaker 1: he goes, Well, you know, in hindsight, I should have
34:31
Speaker 1: gone for it.
34:32
Speaker 2: You think? You think you should have gone for it?
34:35
Speaker 2: I mean, you're losing. You're losing. Did you not look
34:37
Speaker 2: at the scoreboard? You're losing.
34:40
Speaker 1: And you gave them a momentum right back to the Bears?
34:43
Speaker 1: You know, who's calling this offense? I thought this was
34:46
Speaker 1: a Sean Mannion offense. But as I see the weeks evolve,
34:52
Speaker 1: I'm seeing too much interjection of the Nick Sirianni. Offense again. Man, Nick,
35:01
Speaker 1: wipe your hands in offense and let the new dude
35:03
Speaker 1: call the offense, man. Let's see what he can do
35:05
Speaker 1: with this offense because I think you're confusing people when
35:09
Speaker 1: you got two people calling plays back and forth.
35:14
Speaker 3: You know what?
35:14
Speaker 4: I'm going to let you say that, man, because I
35:16
Speaker 4: don't know how we can talk about what's going on, man, because,
35:23
Speaker 4: I mean, if they throw that damn screen to.
35:27
Speaker 3: Limit one more time. They throw it one more time.
35:30
Speaker 3: Come on, man. Everybody sees it. Everybody knows it.
35:32
Speaker 4: And then hold on. Then to have Zach Ertz out
35:35
Speaker 4: there trying to block somebody. We know Zach Ertz ain't
35:37
Speaker 4: no blocker. Zach can't block me or you. He couldn't
35:40
Speaker 4: block me or you.
35:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a receiver. He'll let you know. He's going
35:44
Speaker 3: to catch everything you throw to him. Throw it to him.
35:47
Speaker 3: Let him be great. You know what I'm saying?
35:49
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? Let him be great. Let
35:51
Speaker 4: him do what he do. You know what he's going
35:53
Speaker 4: to do. He's the guy that's going to go out
35:54
Speaker 4: and catch pass. He's that good. He's the quarterback's best friend.
35:58
Speaker 4: He makes himself available. He knows how to run routes.
36:00
Speaker 4: He's going to, you know, man, he's going to run
36:02
Speaker 4: past most linebackers. And then, you know, the zone, he
36:04
Speaker 4: goes sit down in the zone. If a safety comes up,
36:06
Speaker 4: he's bigger than most safety. So, you know, he's going
36:08
Speaker 4: to make it happen. He knows all that stuff. He's,
36:11
Speaker 4: you know, he's, he's, he's well suited to be a
36:13
Speaker 4: pass catching tight end, but don't, don't do that.
36:17
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Don't do that, man. And
36:18
Speaker 3: I'm tired. I'm doing, you know, and, and, I know
36:20
Speaker 3: the rookie's like, man, come on, man. Let me be
36:22
Speaker 3: great too. You know what I'm saying? Push the ball
36:24
Speaker 3: down the field. I don't want to run this either.
36:26
Speaker 2: He look at us like this.
36:27
Speaker 3: Y'all getting mad at me. I ain't calling it. You
36:30
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? He's like, yo, come on, man.
36:33
Speaker 3: But yeah, man. I could pick a lot of stuff
36:36
Speaker 3: about this game.
36:38
Speaker 4: But it's stuff that I was saying the past two
36:41
Speaker 4: weeks that leaked into this third week.
36:44
Speaker 2: And we lost.
36:45
Speaker 3: We just weren't good enough. Yeah.
36:47
Speaker 4: We had a team that was, you know, just as
36:49
Speaker 4: talented as we were, and that's why we ended up
36:52
Speaker 4: losing this game because they eventually caught up with us.
36:55
Speaker 4: We got the talent. I think we still got the coaching.
36:59
Speaker 4: Now I think this is, like, going to open their
37:02
Speaker 4: eyes up. Like, look, you can't just rely on how
37:05
Speaker 4: talented you are to, you know, dictate how you guys
37:09
Speaker 4: are going to play.
37:10
Speaker 3: You got to go out there and play any given Sunday.
37:12
Speaker 4: And we got trounced by a third string, 35. 8, 30, 12,
37:19
Speaker 4: 350-year-old quarterback that was just slinging it, man. He looked
37:23
Speaker 4: like Tom Brady out there. Here's one for you. Here's
37:27
Speaker 4: one for you. You take this one right here. Oh,
37:29
Speaker 4: give me this right here.
37:30
Speaker 3: He was just... He was just... I mean, I... He balled.
37:36
Speaker 2: That's all. He balled.
37:38
Speaker 1: So this team, after getting their behinds beat, you have
37:42
Speaker 1: a short week. And you have to get ready for
37:45
Speaker 1: a pissed-off L.A. Rams team coming here because the Rams
37:49
Speaker 1: blew a game they should have won in Denver on
37:51
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Now, look at the progression here. You start
37:55
Speaker 1: out the season playing two of the weak sisters of
37:57
Speaker 1: the NFL in Washington and Tennessee. And, oh, by the way, Washington,
38:03
Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback, found a way to knock off
38:06
Speaker 1: the defending champs. Okay?
38:08
Speaker 3: Okay.
38:10
Speaker 1: You have a short week to get ready for a
38:11
Speaker 1: ticked-off Rams team that's coming in here. So your level
38:15
Speaker 1: of competition continues to increase. You went from Washington and
38:19
Speaker 1: Tennessee to the Bears, who slapped you in the face
38:22
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. Now you're bringing in the number
38:25
Speaker 1: one offense in the National Football League with Devontae Adams,
38:29
Speaker 1: Kyron Williams, future Hall of Famer Matthew Stafford, the tight
38:34
Speaker 1: end Higby.
38:36
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, they're saying Puka Nakua.
38:41
Speaker 2: I believe, you know what?
38:42
Speaker 1: I believe they deliberately held Puka out of that Denver
38:45
Speaker 1: game for this game because the Eagles have owned the
38:49
Speaker 1: Rams in recent years. Let's face it. And the Eagles
38:51
Speaker 1: have been lucky against the Rams. A defensive stop here,
38:54
Speaker 1: a block field goal there. The Eagles have been lucky
38:57
Speaker 1: in some ways in terms of beating the Rams. But
38:58
Speaker 1: the bottom line is when you look at the final score,
39:01
Speaker 1: the Eagles have owned the Rams. You don't think they're
39:03
Speaker 1: thinking about that getting ready for this game on Sunday?
39:07
Speaker 2: You don't think about that?
39:08
Speaker 3: Exactly. Exactly. What? And you know what, though?
39:11
Speaker 4: Statistics say that the Eagles are going to win. It's
39:14
Speaker 4: like statistics said this last week that the Bears are
39:18
Speaker 4: going to win. You know what I'm saying? Like, Monday nights,
39:20
Speaker 4: we just played terrible on Monday nights. I think we
39:23
Speaker 4: were like 8-8 or something like that on Monday nights,
39:25
Speaker 4: you know? for when they– something like that. I mean,
39:27
Speaker 4: you know, they got them next-level stats and all that stuff.
39:31
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
39:32
Speaker 4: But we play well against the Rams, you know, and
39:36
Speaker 4: hopefully they got a sour taste in their mouth and
39:40
Speaker 4: they're ready to come out there and do something.
39:43
Speaker 3: We hope so.
39:45
Speaker 1: Well, if they show up, and play the Rams the
39:49
Speaker 1: way they played the Bears, the score is going to
39:51
Speaker 1: be a lot worse because Rams like to put the
39:54
Speaker 1: ball in the end zone. And if Puka's back to
39:56
Speaker 1: go along with Devontae, my goodness, it's going to be
40:00
Speaker 1: a show from the West.
40:01
Speaker 2: It's going to be a West Coast show. I'll tell
40:03
Speaker 2: you that right now.
40:05
Speaker 1: And we'll be sitting here next week fuming again as
40:08
Speaker 1: we're doing right now.
40:09
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right.
40:11
Speaker 2: We still got some days before that game ends. take shape.
40:15
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping Vic Fangio, Nick Sirianni, Sean Mannion, you know,
40:18
Speaker 1: browbeat these guys all week and get them refocused after
40:22
Speaker 1: that trash they took on Monday night. All right, that's
40:24
Speaker 1: going to wrap up this edition of Burrs Weekly presented
40:27
Speaker 1: by the inside of the Burrs Network for that man
40:30
Speaker 1: over there who I hope has finally calmed down. I
40:33
Speaker 1: don't get to see the agitated, the animated Barrett Brooks
40:37
Speaker 1: that often, but I enjoyed every bit of it on
40:39
Speaker 1: this podcast. So until next week, we're keeping our fingers
40:43
Speaker 1: crossed that it's a W and not a second consecutive
40:46
Speaker 1: L for Barrett Brooks.
40:47
Speaker 2: I'm Derek Gunn. So long, everybody.
