  Speaker 1: the best victory so far of this season. And to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: join us this week to dive into our themes and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to give our grades, We've got our good friend from
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the Honorable mentioned podcast I listened on Apple Podcasts. To
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: watch on YouTube, search out the Honorable Mention podcast. We've
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: got our great friend, Matt Rodgers, my friend, thank you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: so much for filling in for the guys here. And
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: but man, I gotta tell you, it was great just
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: watching the Philadelphia Eagles just completely shove it right up
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the Giants, Buttholes after what happened a couple of weeks ago. Man,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: good to see it, my friend, right, Yes, I mean
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just to I just before I even get started before
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I even get started gloating.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, do want to wish the best to Cam Skataboo.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Absolutely lonesome injury.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I was gonna mention it, yeah, yeah, I was gonna
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: mention it myself. Yeah, because you know, we came into
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: this game with Aj Brown, Cam Jurgens, and Adorri Jackson
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: all being out and then I was gonna mention too,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Cam Skataboo, just my gosh, a major ankle dislocation. His
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: foot was basically dangling off his leg. Hate to see
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that happen to any player in football. Really, our thoughts
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: are with him, and in terms of the injuries as
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: well in this game, not too many. But at the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: end in the fourth quarter, Saquon Barkley tweaked his groins,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: so thankfully the Eagles have a bye week next week,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to nurse that. So thanks for
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: starting to us off seriously with the the camp Scataby thing,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: because seriously, like, we love football, you know, we definitely
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: don't like the Giants, but we hate when players go
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: down the way that he did.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It's just it's terrible. It really is. So appreciate that, yaid. Yes.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: With that, With that said, I am.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Glad that the Eagles kicked their teeth in. Yes, appropriately.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to hear anything about people letting the.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Eagles off the hook. Oh, this is a tougher Giants team.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: The Eagles defenses ailing. Of course, they're they're they're they're
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: banged up. They don't have great pass rushers, so Jackson
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Dart's gonna be a problem for them, and all that short. Fine, Yes,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: this Eagles team has Super Bowl aspirations. And the other
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: team that was coming into their stadium, uh was two
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and five and it's the New York Giants. Yes, they
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: have two wins on the season. They now have one
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: more win than the.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: New York Jets.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, and so the expectation coming into this game was
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to do exactly what they did to them. It's great
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to see the Eagles finally do answer these questions of
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: what what is it that the Eagles can do? Do
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: they do they stay too close to teams because their
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: offense isn't high flying. Now we have Jalen Herds of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: four touchdown passes and the running attack absolutely just demolishing
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby out there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I loved it. And the benching of aj Dillon. There's
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: so many themes. I mean, I don't want to call
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: it a benching. Maybe they decided to use them other
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: other backs.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I saw a snap from AJ Dillon,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: but I don't want to say he got benched on
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: behalf of the coaching team.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I think they just didn't use them. Yeah, I think
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: they just didn't use them.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, I mean before you know, you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: getting into the themes like we like to, and then
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you know, after our break, we'll get into the grades.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Matt.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You know, coming into this game, there were three different
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: aspects of this team that I was really going to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: be looking at. The first was, and it's a question,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you know, what was the pass rush going to be
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: more effective? And were they going to be able to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: get home? I think we are able to say yes
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in terms of this game, this game in particular. Another
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: one was a question mark regarding the offensive line and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: they're blocking for the run game. Was that going to improve?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: We obviously saw yes that that actually happened. And who
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: was going to step up receiving wise because AJ Brown
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was out and we saw guys on this team stepping
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: up in moments, whether it was even though he only
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: had one catch, Johan Dotson with an amazing catch right
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: at the catch point on fourth down and for a touchdown.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You had, you had Dallas Goddard coming through when they
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: needed a big play, and of course Smitty, of course
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Devonte Smith just taking up that mantle and picking up
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that mantle of wide receiver one. Yes, all the questions
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that I had coming into this, you know, is this
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: going to be effective? Is that going to be effective?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Everything was yes? I mean, you know, and I love
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: how Jackson Dart apparently said right before the game that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: he couldn't wait to feel the hostile and Lincoln Financial
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: field getting his first start against the Philadelphia Eagles at
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the link you.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Know what field, that's what it what exactly? How did
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it feel, Jackson? How did it feel? Jackson?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I absolutely love it. I love it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So I got a bunch, I got a bunch of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: themes to get into here. But do you want to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: start off with what you particularly were looking at and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: what we saw here?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I really thought the theme today was making that Jalen
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Hurts still has other pass catchers that can make plays today.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So to get to get Johan dots in the ball today,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to really going to be a shot in the arm
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in terms of his confidence.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: There are ways that you can scheme open Dallas Goddard.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I was looking for that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, not having aj Brown is a big deal
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: because he's one of the best. He's one of the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: ten best wide receivers many days, five best wide receivers
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: in football.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: There's no question about that in my mind.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But this Eagles team has enough to beat the likes
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and beat the likes of the Giants like they did today.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It was really good to see that. And so that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: starts with the offense being able to sustain drives are
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: down here and there, or just through the passing game,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: even if you get behind the sticks, you know, you
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: run on first and second down and it's third and eight.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And if the Eagles can sustain drives and pass the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: ball like this, they are going to go back to back.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they can run the ball. And Jalen
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Hurts is he's taking care of the football. He's always
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: taking care of the football. He's got fifteen touchdown passes now, yep,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: touchdown passes to one interception. And so the passing game questions,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: at least for the moment, I feel like have been
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: put to bed in my eyes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: But I don't know what do you think on that theme?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Jeff, absolutely, Look, when you are a football team, and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I want to all is also going to be looking
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: at what the third down conversion was as well, and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: it kind of goes to what you're talking about. His
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: The way that he was passing the football today gave
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: us a glimpse and a picture of how he is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a big time playmaker because third down efficiency. The Eagles
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: were only two of eight, but a lot of the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: big plays that we saw today were on first down,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they were on second down. There wasn't a lot of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: fourth down, you know, fourth downs presented to them. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: yes they were two of two on fourth downs. But
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I think where you are going with is that the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: passing game very prolific, and I think that dovetails Matt
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: into a huge theme that all of us have been
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: talking about. We've been looking for it, waiting for it,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: kind of searching for it, and it was where does
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: this run game go? The identity of what this team
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: has been now for well, especially last year, but not
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: really this year. Is that run and rushing attack going
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to come back? The second play of the game. It
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: was Saquon Barkley's first rush of the game and it
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: went for sixty five yards and a touchdown. How do
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you beat a five man front you have six offensive
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: linemen blocking them. The Eagles went heavy up front. Everybody
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: won on their one on one and it allowed Saquon
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Barkley to do the rest. Huge gaping holes for him
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to run through on that opening rush, and then in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the second quarter he had a receiving touchdown. Barkley did
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: just just textbook and that was textbook. Jalen Hurts to Barkley.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: The timing was absolutely perfect. Barkley, by the way, now
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: has I think six total touchdowns on the season here.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I think six or seven at this point, and Gonna.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Hasn't even gottarted yet exactly exactly for me, yes, isn't
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: even the season hasn't even begun for Saquon. He could
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: still go for fifteen hundred and he.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Had his tenth career one hundred and fifty plus yard
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: rushing game here. But really, I think this this also
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: goes to something else too. The offensive line. They were
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: doing a damn good job today. They really did in
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: terms of their run blocking, offensive blocking looks so much
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: better this week, I think than it has in fact
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: all season. I think we have to give a ton
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of credit to Jeff Staltlin. A ton of credit too
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to one guy who we have all been kicking the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: crap out of, and that is Brett Toath. Oh, I'll
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: be getting to Kevin. I'll be getting to Kevin. But
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Brett Toad having such a nice game. If you go back,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you watch the film, watch the game, folks having a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: very nice game, pulling on those outside runs by Barkley
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: throughout the game. I got to give credit where it's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: deserved because I've been all over Brett Toth for being
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a horrendous depth piece on this offensive line. But you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: mentioned Kevin Patulo also probably the best game that he
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: has called so far this season. The first half was
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: absolutely sensational. In my opinion, these are huge themes for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: me coming in. It looks like this was last week
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: was the semi get right game for this team.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: This was the get right game for this Eagles team
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: for sure, and the offense.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: And what I was looking down for the folks who
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: are or who are watching, thank you for watching, and.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you for the people who are listening. I was
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: looking down that.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, as we're going through all this, like
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: how many yards did Tank Bigsby end the game with?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, look down, he ended the game with one hundred
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and four yards on nine carries.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Folks, It's fantastic. It is fantastic.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Rushing yards in this game.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Rushing yards in this game by the Eagles was two
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six and in fact, the Eagles had
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty seven total yards in this game,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: absolutely dominant. I love how you brought up Tank Bigsby.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: You know, I was going to get to him with
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the with with our grades of course, with the running
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: back position, which is obviously going to be like.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: An A plus US plus plus plus.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: But Tank Bigsby, that's why you traded two draft picks
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: for him to do this eleven point six yards per carry,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and yes he had that huge twenty nine yard er
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: as well when we had Because like, that's another theme,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that is another theme. I'm glad you brought this up, Matt,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: because for me, another theme from an offensive perspective is
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: this team can get itself into situations. The offense can
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: get itself into some situations, and it goes to show
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the resiliency of this Eagles offense. Jalen Hurts ended up
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: running into a twenty one yard sack, which we all
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: thought just absolutely killed the drive. It was probably one
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of the worst plays he's actually run all season, just
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: running backwards like my gosh, what are you doing? Jalen
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: was second like thirty one and a rushing call to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Tank Bigsby of all people, he actually converted it. He
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: actually got the first down. That is resiliency from this
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Eagles offense. Another theme here, I.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Mean, and when when this offensive line is bulldozing folks,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, see another day you cannot you
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And with Jay Jalen the passing game, I'm not gonna
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: say this passing in my opinion, and I'm and I'm
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: from the more I'm more.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: So always supporting Jalen Hurts.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say at this point it's prolific yet, but
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it's between good. It's about very good, between good and prolific.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, here's the question, though, does it have to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: be prolific because look at this doesn't need I don't
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: believe it needs. No, it doesn't because he was five
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of twenty matt for one hundred and seventy nine yards,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like you mentioned fifteen of twenty just for the listening. Wait,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: what did I just say five of twenty? Oh my god,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: fifteen of twenty. See, I can't read, folks know when
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I really screw up. I screw up because I'm reading
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: stuff and my brain just doesn't function correctly. I tell
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: my children all the time, I only have a certain
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: amount of gigs in here. I only have a certain
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: amount of gigs. And I'm forty eight years old. Matt,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It's almost full. It's almost full up here.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: The listeners will be pissed to be like, wait, these
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: guys are on here talking about how how well Jaylen's played.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: He went five but twenty with the hell.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And these guys talk yess, holy crap. Let me revise
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: my remarks, folks. Here fifteen of twenty for one hundred
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and seventy nine yards, he averaged nine yards per attempt
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and again four touchdowns. He ended with a rating of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty one point five. We don't need prolific.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: We need a quarterback who is poised, and a quarterback
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: who is mature, a quarterback who is wise. That is
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: what Jalen Hurts has become. We don't need freaking three
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards per game on thirty five attempts.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: We just don't need that from him, because he is
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: putting this offense in good positions time and time again,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: we're seeing it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Shout out to.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: One of my favorite folks who do who I haven't
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: had a chance yet to speak with, Ruben Frank, who
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: does what we do, but at than me a higher level. Yes, Frank,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: he's gonna put together these stats, but Jalen Hurts. You
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: put together the one fifty eight point three and then
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the one forty one.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Point five today in a three week stretch. I mean,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know how.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Often I've seen guys get I mean I've seen obo
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: one hundred. Obviously people will average way over one hundred.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: But if you're getting in that one thirties, you know
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that type of passing proficiency and then getting guys in
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the end zone. Four touchdowns this week, three touchdowns last week.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: That you know he's going to be mentioned in some
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: on some interesting lists and that's going to break some brains.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be absolutely is Yes.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Well, another another theme here as well, and of course
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: we know that the officiating has been horrible this year
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in general. I just wanted to mention on both sides
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of the ball.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: It had.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: It had to be man, it has to be mentioned.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It's just week after week after week. It never ceases
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to amaze me. And look, I know, folks, you know
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the it's bigger, stronger, faster. This game is incredible. I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: couldn't imagine doing it myself. But the fact of the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: matter is these guys get paid a decent chunk of
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: money and they have training in order to know what
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: they are looking for and what they need to see
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: on the field, and time and time again, they get
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: these close calls that mean a lot in certain game
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: situations and they're getting it wrong.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: And it's it. Have it affected both teams today? Yep.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: One second for the listener, I just go, oh, just
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: plug do it. Do what you need to do to
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: plug in.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So we're talking about the officiating too, And really, I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: think the one one thing also that I mentioned right
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: off the bat in terms of what I was going
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to be looking for in this game, was really going
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to be how the pass rush was going to get home.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: And we did see that today Because we know the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Eagles have been having trouble week after week with scrambling
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks getting first downs after you know the opposing offense
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: needs some big yards. We saw Jackson Dark kill them
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a short time ago just getting first down after first
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: down after first down. It happened a few times today
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: as well. But in terms of the pass rush, they
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: ended up getting home five sacks in this game, six
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: quarterback hits, seven tackles for a loss.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: The Eagles defense was on fire here, Matt.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It was wonderful, wonderful to final finally see it now.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I do think if you ask me, there's been an interesting.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Debate going on in the ether is if you can
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: only get one, do you get a world class maybe
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: not world class, but top end qurnerback two, or do
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: you get a top end pass rusher. I go for
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: pass rusher, yeah, because I think that you can with
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a good pass rusher you can mask some of these
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: defensive wells, especially with a Christian Parker and Vic Fangio.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: They know what they're doing, so they can scheme it
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: up if they can get a guy who can get home.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Because so many times, really you're watching the games and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you see it, Jeff, guys are putting pressure
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: on the quarterbacks. But the frustrating part is so many
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: times they're letting guys escape out the back door, getting
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: a hand on guy and not really bringing him to
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the ground. So the key in this game there was
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of violence and how they were looking to
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: bring Jackson Dart to the ground. Like there was one
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: sack in particular where Jalx Hunt kind of grabbed Jackson
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Dart by the shoulders as they were both falling to
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the ground and slammed them.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, very strongly. And that's what you got
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: to do, I mean.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Because when these mobile quarterbacks the choice, you know, otherwise
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: these guys are running all over.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: You and could totally change the game. And like they
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: like the Giants just saw last week with the bo Knicks.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Bo Nix isn't you know, crazy athletic, but.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: He's very you know, he's mobile, like a lot of
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: these guys, justin Herbert, A lot of these guys, these
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks you face, are not all like Jalen Hurts, but
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you give that quarterback that second life and they'll kill you, yes,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And so you know it's really important to be violent
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: with the with the takedowns, and that's I was glad
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: to see that today.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Jordan Davis had a sack in the second quarter. It
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: was third sack of the year, which is, believe it
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: or not, a career high for him. But really, I
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: mean the Eagles defense, they meant business right out of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the gate. On the Giants opening possession, Zach Bond had
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a tackle for a lost Jalx Hunt. He was doing
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: real well with the pass rush today in fact, but
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: really quick before we go to break here, Matt and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: then get to our grades, grading each unit as we
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: do every week, I wanted to mention Dallas Goddard too,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: because we also talked about who's going to step up
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: in terms of aj Brown being out. You know, we
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: talked about Johan Dottson. He was targeted actually twice, came
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: down with that one touchdown, great catch at the catch point.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But with Dallas Goddard, man when his number is called,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: he gets it done. He caught such a great touchdown
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: pass before the half, and at that point he had
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a career six touchdown catches in a season. And then
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: he had his seventh touchdown pass of the season in
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: And that's it was beautiful design.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I lovely was that could have been one of the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: best Kevin Patulo design plays that I've actually ever seen.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Amazing, and that's it's just.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: A slight It's just a slight change because generally that
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: tight end just goes to the flat and we saw
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: that a million times, just some McNab play and one
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: of the McNab specials. You know, you send the full
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: back or the tight end out and to the flat
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: and that, and so we sold it that he's going
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: to the flat and took it up the rail yep,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and Jalen hit him on the inside. It was and
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Jalen just put it with the perfect amount of touch.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: People got to give some respect some of these throws. Okay,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: maybe not all of the throws. Just like any quarterback
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: are you know, a plus throats. There are some throws
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: that you really can't say that they're not a plus throats.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, You're absolutely right. That was absolutely one of them.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: And now Dallas Goddard with his seven touchdowns in eight
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: games career year, maybe yes, I mean he's had dude,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: he had eight touchdowns in thirty six regular season games
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four. And he
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: also has now tied to Sean Jackson for the sixth
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: most most catches in Eagles history. He's making as he's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: made his mark on this franchise, and I absolutely love
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: seeing it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: So I love it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Buy do you have any more themes? Before we had
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to break and then before we get to our grades.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I did mention the yeah, the we will see the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: TV determined in Lambeau how much ad Dyllan's playing. Maybe
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: they arresting him for the return to Lamba.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Maybe yes, maybe.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I mean we've seen a number of games here where
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: you know, will Shipley hasn't been getting the ball, you know,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I mean he did have three carries. It only got
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: two yards out of those three carries, but and it
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: was towards the end of the game. But they haven't
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: been using Will Shipley haven't really been using aj Dillon
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: too too much either. And this this was a game
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: where I mean Tank's Bigsby I think he had two carries,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: two or three last week. So they're finally getting to
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the point where they're like, all right, Saquon Barkley had
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: fourteen carries for one hundred and fifty yards. I guess
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: we should start giving the other running backs some you know,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: some opportunities here. You know, why trade for somebody with
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: two draft picks if you're not going to utilize them
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: in the offense and at least give them. Uh, you
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: know he had nine carries in this game.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Some opportunity. Absolutely, I got one more theme? Yeah, really quick.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: We don't have to dwell on it too long. But
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: regression to the mean is it is a theme? Folks?
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Things are going if things are going too poorly in life,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: things are going to look up for you. If things
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: are going too well, just just understand that they're not
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: always going to go so well. I say that because
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: sometimes aj Brown, you know, you go two games in
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: a row, no, you know with six targets, and the
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: next two weeks you might have twenty five targets and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: have four touchdowns. Say Kwon Barkley today, his his team
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: spirit shines through. He got to one fifty, nice brown number.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: All right, get the get get Bigsby in there. I
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: don't really got it. I gave him the first try
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: to take it to the crib. Now let's get biggs
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: b in there. Let him let him go get one
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: hundred and so regression to the mean, folks, You know
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: AJ Brown and being frustrated. There's there's reason to be
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: frustrated because you want to see us to be able
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: to put teams away, especially in these things. You don't
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: want people to be able to talk crazy about AJ
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Brown or Jalen Hurts. But also, you know, when you
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: are a superstar like these guys are, if you have
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: a rough game, you'll be back. Jamar Chase has games
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: where you get blanked. Jerry Rice had games where he
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: got blank. Tarrell Owens, Randy Moss aj You're gonna be back.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: If you're listening, if somebody passed it a lot to
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: regression to the mean, remember resolutely. And then when you're
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: going through those two weeks where you got, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: thirty one targets, or three weeks thirty one targets, four
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: weeks thirty one targets. Maybe in the next two weeks
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: maybe you have eight targets. Because other people got to
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: get their opportunities too, and you being the superstar. It's
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: not just a decoy. I mean, it really changes things
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: for folks.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I think that's hard to the means a theme that
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: is a that is a fantastic theme. Matt to take
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: us not only to the break but right here in
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: week eight, like that is a fantastic theme for us
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: in the Eagles Nation to keep in mind as we
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: still have a lot more games and this team has
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: a lot more games to play, and we've got a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: lot more games to go through and to watch and
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to you know, just be connected with this team in
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. The regression to the mean man,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that is a fantastic theme. It really is, as we're
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: going to be going to break here and as we
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: conclude week eight. So with that being said, folks, again
• 24:09

  Speaker 1: be a lot of a's.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: But folks, we're gonna be back in just a bit.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: We are back with our good friend Matt Rodgers from
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the Honorable Mention podcast, and we're gonna get into our
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: grades by unit as. We are still digesting this win,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the Eagles beating the New York Giants by score thirty
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: eight to twenty.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: The quarterback position, Jalen Hurts getting an.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: A plus plus plus plus plus plus from me, What
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: do you give him?
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: That? Well?
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: How did what did you think Jeff about the technique
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: on Tanner McKee's victory formation.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Did he get under center? I liked it? It was
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: fine by me. I enjoyed watching it. Yes, I'll give
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: him an A plus two. So we're going to round
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: that one out with an A plus on the day.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Then let's just let's just stick the landing on that one. Okay,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: sounds good.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Move to the running back position A plus plus plus
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: plus plus plus again. Oh my gosh, when Tank Bigsby
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: is doing that, and when you are gashing the New
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: York Giants defense the way that they did, Sakuon Barkley
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: with one hundred and fifty yards, Tank Bigsby with one
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: hundred and four yards. Jalen Hurts had twenty two yards
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: in this game. Will Shipley, like I mentioned earlier, only
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: had two yards, but really two hundred and seventy six
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: total rushing yards in this game and coming from the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: running backs. My gosh, just it's a plus all round, absolutely.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: And I love and I uh, I love.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I'll get I'll get to this later, I'll remember, I'll
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: pin it because it's it's it pertains to another group.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: So let's okay, all right, sounds good. Let's move to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the wide receivers and tight ends. So the receivers in general,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be giving them an a plus as well.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: They did I think everything that they needed to do
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: in this game, and like we talked about before the break,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: there were guys on this team from a receiving perspective
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: who stepped up to the plate big time. Dallas got
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: her two touchdowns. Saquon Barkley with a receiving touchdown, Jehan
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Dotson with a receiving touchdown. DeVante Smith targeted nine times,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: caught six balls for eighty four yards, the average fourteen
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: yards per reception. I think the receivers did a fantastic
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: job on the day. I give him an a plus.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: What do you give them?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I really liked I really liked it today. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: also like getting some looks from Darius Cooper too. I
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: like the looks that the Giants maybe other teams won't yep,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: some of the some of the coverages. I was wondering
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: whether we get to see a jump ball from Darius Cooper.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: That would have been really exciting.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: That would have been fun. That would have been fun.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: But hey, the pass interference call will take it right.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: It was very good. Yes, he can't argue with a
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: plus today.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Nope, offensive line, folks, in my book, not going to
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: get necessarily an A plus. But I think it is
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the first time that we are that I am going
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: to give an a grade. It's going to be an
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: A minus for the offensive line. Agreed and go, Yeah,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: it goes to what we were talking about early.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Man. They needed to step up.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: They needed to provide this offense, not just with pass
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: protection for Jalen Hurts, but to get that running game going.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: We certainly saw that. I give him a minus. What
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: do you give him, buddy? Yeah, I really like I
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: really liked.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the A minus is a good grade. I really
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: liked seeing at the end of the game. You know,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: there were just plays where you know, sexy Dex He's
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: walking over to the sideline. It just worn out, wear
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: his ass out.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I loved it. It was absolutely wonderful.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: There were a couple of you know, just just they
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: can't improve absolutely here, I think, And it is something
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: It says a lot about what we think about this team.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: That tank bigsby again, I would keep saying it. I
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: probably will say another four times, folks. So I'm sorry
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: for the folks who are tied.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I can't wait Yeah, I can't wait to hear him
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: say tank bigs me while we're talking about the defense.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to see how he dovetails that one
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: One of nine for one oh four and and then
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I really love This is what I was going to
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: speak on earlier, is that Jordan My lot of interviews
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: this week leading up to the game was talking about
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: how he really put a you know, this is an
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: important game to him some you know, Nick talks a
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: lot of times throughout the week. His point of view
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: is you should take, you know, the same intensity to
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: every week. But if certain guys needed edge, then that's
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: what it needs. I think Jordan Alta needed that edge
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: this week, and some some players do. Some players some
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: players can just you know, about their business and they
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: do what they do, and some players need a little fire.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Jordan Alta needed that fire today and he called He
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: called the game. Two weeks ago, he had the worst
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: game of his career, and so it's important for him
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: today go into this buy running into the Packers, who
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: people have in the preseason we're talking about had they
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: already caught up to the Eagles opportunity to go seven
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: and two walking out of Lambeau in a couple of weeks.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: So really important and it's going to ride on once again.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: This Eagles offensive line, I think is sort of short
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of the quarterback position, the most important unit on this team. Yeah,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: they ride this offensive line to push it all to
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: where they're gonna go, and so so important that they
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: really got the ship right, because really, Jalen played threw
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the ball well enough. Had they not been road grading folks,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: sorry to you know, draw this one out of a
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: little more Jelia, Jeff, But had they not been road
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: grading on folks in this game, then I think the
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Eagles still could have won this game. But you don't
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: feel as good going into the Bux.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: And then the narrative, Yeah, the narrative with the buy
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: would have been un just horrendous. From Philly thirty seven.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Thirty eighty Yeah yeah, yeah, they win thirty seven to
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: thirty eight over the Giants.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been terrible. It would have been terrible.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: But our pride, man, dude, let's let's let's talk about
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the defensive unit now, and specifically the defensive line in terms.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Of our grade.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I think when you look at Jlex Hunt, moro Ojomo,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Jordan Davis, and Jalen Carter. They had the best game
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: so far of the season. Each guy I think had
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to tackle for a loss, each guy had a quarterback
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: hit where each guy I think had a sack as well.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: So you are looking at a defensive line that was
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: able to get home and do what we wanted them
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to do in this game. So I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: give the defensive line and a minus.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Actually this week, what do you give them? I agree?
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I think I when I'm watching Morow, Moro this year
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: is not looking as good as Moro. I don't know.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe people are no to slide over to him more
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: So now when I'm watching Morow, I feel like I
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: want to see more Ty Robinson and Maroo had a
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: good game today. Moro Jomo, But I think I want
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: to see more Ty Robinson. I'm gonna give him a
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: B plus.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I am sick of seeing guys slip out of their grasp. Yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: And I don't know how duplicable this effort is. Because
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: this Giants wide receiver corps without neighbors, you know, it's
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: not dependable. So you know in this one two three,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: let it go one two three, let it go type
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: in offense. Yeah, Jackson was looking to hold it and
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: so he presents opportunities for sacks. Just like the number
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: eleven guy who almost want an MVP for the Eagles
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: last week. He's a guy who holds the football, mister Wentz. Yes,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: and so it presents opportunities for lesser than defensive lines
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: to go and get sacks. Yes, and so I think
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I think they had less of an uphill climb this
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: week because of the style of offense and the weapons
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: that aren't there for the Giants. So I just don't
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: want to get too carried away. I think that they
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: played well today. I just don't know how duplicable this
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: effort is, and I do want to see some more
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Ty Robinson.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think they had less of an uphill
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: climb today? Also because of what happened to Cam Skataboo
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: going down. Absolutely, I got to tell your Jackson Dart yet.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: But Jackson Dart became a different quarterback when his go
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: to guy, his friend, the person that he has been
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: dependent on now for these past four weeks, went down.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: There was a sizeable uh, just the the concentration level.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Perhaps it was just it was just completely different with
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart when Cam Skataboo went down, and I think
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: that was part of why the defensive line was able
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to produce also at the level they were able to
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: produce today.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: And he was looking to make the big play and
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: so you know he would evade one guy, but he's
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: still look looking deep downfield and another couple of guys
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: again him. So you know, I don't I don't want
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: to rain on a great game. You know, a bunch
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: of guys with opportunities highlight stuff.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: They'll you know, they'll never forget. I don't want to
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: downplay that. I just say I don't want anybody to
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: walk away from this game.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe who with the last name Roseman and think, hey,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: maybe I don't need to make a move, because hell, yeah,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: you do need to make a move at this Yes, yes.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: And thirty seven year old BG, who I don't think
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: got us. I didn't see him have a snap today.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was active to today.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Actually I do not think he was active, okay, because
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't think I saw him on the field.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: He will be in addition, and it's good he will.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I think he will get sacks.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: He's not the move though, right, You're absolutely correct, absolutely correct.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Let's move to the linebackers here, and I gotta say,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I'm giving I'm giving the linebackers or an a plus
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: because I just think have it. And yes, Nakobe Dean
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: give up. He did give up a big reception, which
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: which he kind of perfectly he did.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And quite frankly, the tackles for loss that that Kobe
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Dean had in this game, there was all him just
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: blowing up plays.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Zach Bond.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Zach Baond at this point, Okay, his six total tackles,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: one sack, two tackles for a law, two passes defended
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: in this game and a quarterback's ridiculous. It's Madden stuff.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I genuinely believe he's going to potentially be the best
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Eagles linebacker of all times. And that's saying something because
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Seth Joyner is up there, you know, really, I mean,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Seth Joyner's up there. Jeremiah Trotter is certainly up there.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: You know, William Thomas is up there. But like we're
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: getting to that point with Zach Bond where he is
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: on he's if he continues to have seasons like this
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: like he had last year. And he's having this year.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: He's going to be in that conversation for one of
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the best Eagles linebackers of all time.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Because he's on his way to All Pro this year. Yes,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I mean incredible what linebacker's playing. And it's crazy. Since
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: we are talking about linebackers, I found it notable that
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Nakobe Dean was in a lot of times and Johan
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Campbell was on the sideline, not edge rushing, and Nakobe
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Dean was on the field, Campbell was on the sideline.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: So that says a lot about what they think of
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: about this team because they picked John Campbell high and
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: they're not.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're down.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: On johdkamp No, I don't think so. I just think
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: they're up on to Kobe Dean and his football IQ.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, physicality absolutely, All right, Well, let's move to the secondary.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: This is a secondary that gave up one hundred and
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: ninety three yards receiving in general. Wandeale Robinson only had
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: forty eight yards. Devin Singletary had twenty eight yards, Darius
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Slayton twenty six yards, Daniel Bellinger twenty one yards. The
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: receiving corp the New York Giants didn't have a great day,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and it was because the secondary played some lights out football.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: So and granted the Giants receivers certainly aren't the greatest
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: receivers in the world, but you wanted to see the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: secondary really come together like they did today. I give
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: him an A plus.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: What do you give them? I'll go with an A minus.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: There were a couple just I mean, Jackson Dark I
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: have one throw on my mind in particularly when we
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: talk about this. There was the throw up the rail
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: when they're going off the left side of the the
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: and the tight end drops it as we yes, he
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: dropped it, and then we you know, would have separated
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: potentially separated them from the ball.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, but there were there were opportunities that it was like, ah,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: that could have been game changers.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is has been that this today
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: was the best game of the secondary season.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And so I'll stay in the A range. But I
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to act like they were.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: You know, Stefan Gilmour and Darrell Reaves out there.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: All right, sounds good, man, sounds good? All right?
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Special teams. Let's grade special teams first kick return of
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the game. One of the members of special teams didn't
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: line up correctly. It was a penalty. Jake Elliott missed
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a fifty eight yarder today. He made all his other
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: field goals and special points. Will Shipley though boy a
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: nice forty one yard kick return in the first quarter.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Then he had a thirty two yard return in the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: second half. I'm gonna get I'm gonna give over all
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: special teams of B this week.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: What do you give them? Yeah? I B B plus
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: I think too.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: B plus Yeah, more, because they did more than do
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: no harm really, because you just did they did? You know,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: I just need them to play C plus generally to
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: be good. They did better than that. I mean, they
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: really set us up in good ways. I mean, Jake,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: you did have the miss from Jake. That's a long
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: field goal try. So I'm not really mad at him
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: for the fifty eight. I'm not really counting that against
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: their grade too much. Okay, okay, more B B plus
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: So so we're in the same range.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Sounds good. Vic Fangio, I think called a fantastic game.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be giving him an A this week,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: straight up. A.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: What do you give him? I loved it, I love
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I love the game.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Plan. I want to see more again, requests Vic if
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: you're listening, Uh, uh more Jihid Campbell straight up edge,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: let's see maybe try to see him with his hand
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: in the dirt in the game. Some you guys play
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: differently than they do in practice. When they're out there
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: and they get to knock the hell out of somebody,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: he's not worried about hurt and potentially Jordan my Lot
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: or you know, somebody who the Eagles really care about.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I want to see him more with his hand in
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: the dirt maybe to help this.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: If Joha Campbell can be that guy, maybe you don't
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: have to make a move at at pass rushers. So
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I want to see more of that and Ty Robinson.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: But I think today was excellent. Uh, guy's not getting cooked.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Kiey Ringo, no tweet, I mean, do we see any
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: tweets anything about?
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I don't know what was happening. I
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: guess he was playing good football. I don't know. I
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Goodness like when they don't call your name, you're doing great? Yes, absolutely,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: all right?
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Well, Kevin Patulo, Nick Sirianni, I'm gonna be giving these
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: guys in a this week. I think it was Kevin
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Petullo's best game of the season. I mean, the offense
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: was the offense was rolling today.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: It really was.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: There a few cups here and there, like there is
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: in every game of professional football. There were hiccups. But
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: you know, given the fact that Aj Brown was not
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: on the field, given the fact that this needed to
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: be another quote get right game, especially in terms of
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the offensive line and the rushing attack, and it actually happened.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: And then some because of who Tank Pigsby with his
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: nine rushes for one hundred and four yards.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: See I said it, but I really loved it. It was.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: It was definitely a great game plan overall. I'm giving
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: them an A what do you give them?
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta give him an A plus. I mean,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: this is a big spot. It's really important for the
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: for the for the mojo of his team.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: That and and with all.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Respect to to to Aj Brown, who's an important part
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: of this team. It was important for Aj Brown to
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: see to be standing on the sideline with his towel
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: and under the hoodie as he was watching, just like
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: when t O got to watch.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: The Eagles go to the Super Bowl.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Abe, you are an important part of this team. But
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: we can win and and be excellent without you. Yes,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: And it's not that we want to be excellent without you,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: but you are. You're not gonna alone dictate the success
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: of this team, the mojo of this team. I think
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: it was so important. No one's ever gonna say it
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: in the media. It goes unsaid, but that was put
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: out there our biggest offensive output in a while.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: I don't remember the last.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Time Jalen threw for four touchdowns, and I don't know
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: if he ever threw for four touchdowns without aj on
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: All the questions, all the discussion, and it's implicit in
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: the discussion that Jalen's just not good enough. So he
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: knows this is all about him at the end of
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: the day. And so in the biggest spot, you dial
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: it up. Jayalen throws for four Sacon's got one fifty.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Let Tank go off for nine for one forty eight plus.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I love plus get that, wonder that getting that last
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: that last tank nine for one.
• 41:59
