• 0:40
  Speaker 1: came down right to the last few seconds.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Of the Eagles defense.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: They were able to get it done today. Again, week
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: one in the books. 24-22 Eagles win. I'm Jeff Warren.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Here are my buddy Len Hunsicker. Len, man, not the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: greatest football game in the world by the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Not the worst either. It's game one, right? Game one,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: there were some hiccups for sure.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't know if we're going to jump
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: into this this early, but to me, that's my... I
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: guess overarching theme for today's game is, okay, you've got
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a different offensive coordinator every single year. You don't play
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: anybody of consequence one single second in the preseason.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: What do you think it's going to look like in
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the first game? I mean, that, that was like, like
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: my wife was asking me like, Oh, what do you think?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I'm not mad about it because
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: this is what I expected. I mean, you just throw
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: these guys out on the field for the first time.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And I know they've been, practicing stuff in the offseason
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and the preseason all that stuff but like it's not
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: a game situation and a game situation is a different
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: thing and the fact that you're not given these and
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: i know why i know there are multiple reasons why
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: but the fact that you're not getting these guys game
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: situations to prep for stuff like this you're you're starting
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: cold and i feel like the offenses are always going
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: to be maybe a little bit behind the defenses i
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: mean you can probably get away with something like that
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: if you've had any kind of continuity with your coordinators
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: at all guys that have been there for a couple
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: years but the eagles have never been i mean at
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: least offensively the eagles have never been able to say
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: that absolutely um so this is i i she my
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: my wife asked me like after the game she's like
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: are you happy with this? And I said, yeah, I said,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: all I wanted them to do was win the game
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: because this is exactly what I expected it would be.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't think it was going to look pretty at
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: all and it didn't. So just get a win in
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: week one. That's all I care about.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It's a great theme to start off with because, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: then to piggyback off of that, I just, I just
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: want to read a quick tweet from Jeff McClain because
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it actually reinforces what you just said. It's incredible that you,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You have two teams that want to replicate this. an
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: offense in this league, both the Eagles and the commanders
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: showed throughout this game that they may want to run
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a Shanahan and McVay type of scheme, but it's going
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to take time. They're not the originators of this. It
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: is going to absolutely take time. And we're look, we're
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: going to get into some of the good. We're going
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to get into some of the crap too, but Jeff McClain,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm the biggest Jeff McClain fan.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: But he was absolutely correct.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And it just goes to what you're saying, Len, you know, you,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you're going to want to run these schemes. And if
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you're not giving these guys in the preseason, the ability
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to get on the field and actually work within these schemes,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you're going to have these hiccups for sure.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's a good first theme.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: And, you know, you know, talking about the McVay, you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: you know, Shanahan schemes or whatever. And there was a
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: lot of points during this game for both offenses where
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: it felt like they were running a Patula West scheme.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: That's some of the, yes. For both teams throughout the game.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a great, Dude, folks, Len and I didn't
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: talk about this at all, but it is a great set.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: We didn't coordinate what we were going to say prior
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to hitting the record button, but it's a good segue, Len,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: because the next theme, the Eagles just didn't have a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: consistent run game at all. Once again, Saquon Barkley just
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: getting hit behind the line of scrimmage all day long,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and yet they insisted on running on third and long,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: running the ball on third and long. I felt like
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it was that Kevin Petullo type of offense that we've
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: seen recently. or whether we saw last year. And I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: think to no surprise either, Washington, they had a lot
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of simulated pressures on Eagles passing downs as well. Multiple
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: defenders standing at the line of scrimmage really appeared that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: this Eagles offense was carrying the struggles that they had
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: last year in the rushing game to this season as well.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: It seemed like almost a mirror of it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And that's a theme I think we're going to need
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to talk about this coming week.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And if you were to ask me, what is
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing you're worried about coming out of this game?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: It's that it's like outside of one big run and
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: he had one like maybe eight yard run late in
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the game. But outside of those two runs, one one
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: great run, moderately good run that run game, particularly with Barkley.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Was non-existent.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And that's something that, you know, that's going to rear
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: its ugly head in some losses down the road if
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: they don't get that fixed.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And there's a reason why the rushing, yeah, the reason
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: why the rushing attack, not all great. You have two
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: gentlemen in Cam Juergens and Landon Dickerson who look like
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they were playing rookie football for the very first time
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought Dickerson, especially, I mean, Juergens had a
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: bad penalty, but there was a couple of.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Plays where Dickerson looked like just bad out there.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Like a turnstile.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh, that I'm glad you brought that up.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Cause particularly with Dickerson, I definitely noticed that, um, didn't
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: look good at all. I mean, I don't think the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Eagles offensive line, you know, with regard to the run game,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: particularly look good as a whole, but, uh, particularly those
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: two and particularly Dickerson, I, it, I wasn't impressed at all.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Even Lane Johnson struggled a bit today too.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: You don't see it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: He's getting older, but.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: That's, that's a, that's a big concern to me for
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the Eagles this year, you know, cause they, you always
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: have guys getting hurt. Lane Johnson feels like he gets
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: hurt every year for a couple of games now. And
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that is just a rough and tumble position. And everybody's
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: getting older and maybe this offensive line is starting to
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: show its age. starting to show it's wear and tear.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if we're ever going to get
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: that dominant offensive line of a couple of years ago back. Yeah. I,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I think the best days of this offensive line are
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: pretty far in the rear view mirror. And, and I,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you know, nobody likes to draft offensive linemen. It's, it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the least sexy thing I think you can do.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: But it may be time to renew that, that emphasis
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: on rebuilding the offensive line because it, it's just time for,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: for a few of these guys.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: But going back to what you were just saying, these
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: guys weren't playing during the preseason or, you know what
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Lane Johnson was playing. This is his first game of
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the year.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: First time on the field.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So it's like, okay, does he just need to get
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: back in a rhythm? Yeah, exactly.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: He need to get back.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Hopefully it's that. I mean, I really hope to God
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: it's sad because if it's the alternative, then that's a
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: longer term problem that you can't, walk back from.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Exactly I hope I hope for for their sake it's
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: what you just mentioned and not what I'm thinking and it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Makes me not want to blame Saquon Barkley because he
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: did have 15 carries for 83 yards 5.5 yards per
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: carry he did have a long of 42 yards but
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it makes me think that we're seeing that same thing
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: like I said it's kind of we're kind of looking
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in the mirror with regard to last year with this
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Eagles offense specifically the rushing attack I'm not blaming really
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley I mean when the holes were there for
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: him and he was doing what he needed to do.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: You could create, you know, just give the DNA of
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: all the greatest running backs of all time and put
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: it into one running back. And if he doesn't have
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: a good offensive line in front of him, none of
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: it's going to matter. So, you know, I mean, what
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: can you do?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Look, another thing I wanted to do going into this game,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and I only have some of the stats for the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: first half here, so I don't know what the rest of.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: The game looked like.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: We were all so excited to see what the Sean
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Mannion offense was going to be. a lot more plays
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: under center. At least we thought, you know, and, and yes,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it did happen, but I did see Jalen hurts in
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: shotgun a lot.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And especially more than I thought I would.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Look for sure.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: First half, he was under center 32% of the time.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That was nine plays motion plays. Absolutely loved in the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: first half, 71%. There were 20 motion plays. They played
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: 11 personnel on 20 plays, 12 personnel on seven plays,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: 13 personnel on seven.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: One play.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And I look, I was hoping to see a lot
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: more under center type of plays because we know we've
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: seen success with this offensive personnel when Jalen hurts is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: under center. And I think they got away from that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in the second half as well. And that was a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: bit disappointing too. And look, the team won here, the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: team won. And I know we're kind of crapping on
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: them out of the gate. We're going to get to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: some positive stuff here in a bit, but I was
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: hoping to see more under center plays here, Len.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you, I mean, do you think that's cause
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: you know, There's been the whispers in the past of,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: you know, Hertz, you know, falling back on what he's
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: more comfortable with, which is not working under center. Is
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: that a thing where maybe, you know. They're just like, OK,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: we're struggling. Let's let Jalen do what he wants to do.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Do you think that was a conversation that was had?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Could have been. Yeah, it could have been.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It could have been a comfort zone thing because it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the first game of the season. We want to make
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: sure that he is feeling good out there, of course.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, the rushing attack
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: still struggled when they were running from shotgun.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: It really did.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it kind of didn't matter what they did.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And look, I think it's important for us to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: also talk about the good on the offense. as well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: because I got to tell you, Jalen Hurts, 14 to 25,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: 203 yards, the average 8.1 yards per attempt, three touchdowns
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that he threw in this game. And he ended with
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a rating of 122.2. Jalen Hurts was a solid quarterback
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in this game. at the end of the day and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: his legs as well. You take a look at what
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: his rushes.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, seven carries for 46 yards. He averaged 6.6
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: yards per carry. It was the Jalen hurts that I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: think we wanted to see last year. Len, we saw
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it here in week one.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, not gaudy rushing total totals by any
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: stretch of the imagination, but when you needed him, when
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the play was breaking down and he couldn't find anybody
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: open when he needed to go out and get those yards,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: he did it. And, and that, you know, That's all
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I'm asking for out of a running quarterback. I don't
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: need you to be the focal point of the offense
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: with your running. I just need you to, when it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: there and you've got the ability, take it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: And that's what he did today. I'm really glad to
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: see that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Moving over to the other side of the ball, Len,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I think the defense did a pretty damn good job
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: from an overall perspective today.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: They kept this team in the game all four quarters,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Zach Bond, just an incredible, incredible linebacker and incredibly underrated
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: in this league. I will say as well, Cooper Dejean
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: was getting cooked all day on a bunch of different plays.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: mainly on slants by the commanders, wide receivers. And it
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: was really bizarre to see just him getting turned around
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: He was looking slow. He didn't look like himself.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And there was a play, I think it might have
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: been in the first quarter, could have been in the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: second quarter, where he came up wincing as though his
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: ribs were hurting. I think Cooper Dujun may have some
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: sort of issue like internally. And I hope it's not
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: an injury that's going to last a long time. But
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I think that may have been the reason why we
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: didn't see the Cooper Dujun that we are so used
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to seeing.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe. I mean, I remember during the preseason seeing, like,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: you know, things on, you know, Instagram or whatever of, like,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: you know, when they had the joint practices with the
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Patriots where it was, like, Cooper to Gene, like, multiple, like,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: plays during.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: That practice of him getting burned.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Like, so, I mean, I feel like that
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: was something that was happening in preseason, too. So I
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: don't fully know what's happening there. But, you know, I
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: think overall... defensively, they were good. They got tired at
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the end. You could definitely tell they were getting worn
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: down and that bears it out in the, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: not ready, not that we're ready to jump into the
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: stats yet, but you look at time of possession, Washington
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: had it for like 33 minutes and 20 seconds. And
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: the Eagles had it for like 26 minutes. So, I mean, they,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: you know, I guess as the game wore on, they,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: you know, they kind of wore them down a little bit.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: But the majority of that game, the Eagles defense held
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Washington in check. And really, to me, is the reason
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: that they came away with a win.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned some of the team stats. So
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: before we go to break, do you have any other
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: themes that you wanted to dive into here? Any other themes,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you know, before we get to just a few notable
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: team stats and then before we grade by unit?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a theme per se, but
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I just like it felt like every time they ran
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: a screen to the flat today, it got blown up.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Like that play did not work.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: So one single time that I remember they and yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: so I don't know if that's just. something they got
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: to iron out or whatever, but that, uh, boy, that
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: was not there at all today.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Cause I shot off a tweet from our PST account
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: on Twitter. And I was like the, why the receivers
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in general? And I'm talking Dallas Goddard as well. The
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: receivers were, we're not blocking on those screens well at all.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: They were terrible.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: The one that, um, I thought, uh, and I'll say
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: it real quick. I thought Don Tavian Wicks had a
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: really good game, but there was one where like towards
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the game where they did a screen
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: to Makai and he just did the best matador impression
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my life.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: And that guy just flattened lemon. And I was like,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Oh God, that's terrible.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Wide receivers, tight ends absolutely need to work on some
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: pass blocking for sure.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Especially if they're going to be running these screens.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: But, uh, Just real quick, in terms of some notable
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: team stats, you know, mentioning.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, did you, oh my God, you just said
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: it about two minutes ago. Did you mention the time
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of possession?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I did, yeah, 33-20 to Washington to 26-40 for the Eagles.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, and as we always know, yards per play, whoever
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: wins yards per play is usually the winner of the game.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: The Eagles, six yards per play to Washington's 4.4 yards
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: per play.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Per play. The Eagles on third.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Down efficiency, Len, six of 14, Washington five of 15,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: both teams, not the greatest in terms of their third
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: down efficiency here, but are there any other team stats
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: here that are sticking out to you?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a relatively, I mean, turnover wise,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: completely clean game by both teams. Not really. I feel
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: like And overabundance of penalties, six for 45 yards for Washington,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: five for 40 yards for for the for the Eagles.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: The only big one that kind of jumps out at
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: me is the is the commanders doubling up on the
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Eagles when it comes to first downs.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I thought that was.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Kind of interesting, but thankfully it didn't bear itself out
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: in the final result.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: All right, very good. All right, folks, we're going to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: take a quick break. When we get back, we're going
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to grade by unit on the offense, the defense. We're
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: going to grade the coaching, and then we're going to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: do our MVP of the game and then our least
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: valuable player as well, or as I like to call it,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the doo-doo butter award.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So we're going to take a break. We'll be back
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: in just a bit. All right.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: We are back and let's get into grading by units.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Let's start with the quarterback position. Len, I already went
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: through Jalen Hurts' stats. I'm going to give him an
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: A this week. I think he did everything he needed
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to do. And at the end of the day, he
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: ends up throwing three touchdown passes. I'm happy with Jalen
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Hurts today.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm happy with him, too. My grade, I don't
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: think is going to be as high as yours because
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I like to reserve the a for like, or truly
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: outstanding game. Um, I'm going to go B plus could
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: be talked up to an a minus, but, um, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: thought he was, he was very solid. If I'm, you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: you're talking about the MVP award.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: For the game.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I have a top three and Hertz is number three
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for the Eagles for me. Oh, okay.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, you want to do top three? Okay. Sounds good.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, we don't have to, I just, I have
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: three in my head and he's who I would put
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: at number three.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Sounds good.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Um, All right, the running back, Saquon Barkley, as I
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, 83 yards, 5.5.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Yards per carry. I mentioned Jalen Hurts' stats before.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: He averaged 6.6 yards per carry on seven carries. Will
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Shipley carried the ball twice for four yards and so
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: disappointed that Tank Bigsby only got one carry in this
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: game for three yards. After what we saw from him
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: last year where he'd get five, seven, eight yards per carry,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: The fact that they didn't use him more is absolutely
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: absurd in my opinion, but I'm going to give the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: running backs in general a B minus this week.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: What do you give them?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I could not agree more with that sentiment, especially
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: if for whatever reason Saquon isn't getting going and maybe
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: you want to do a change of pace. Maybe you
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: want to just try something a little bit different. Maybe
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: you just want to give Barkley a break for a
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: series or whatever.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Bigsby has shown that he's able to, to carry that
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: load in short, Bursts, so why don't you use them? Absolutely.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I 1 million percent agree with that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I will go– B minus. I mean, again, yeah, like
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: you said, the game wasn't necessarily the running back's fault, but,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: you know, it's not like they did anything to make
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: me say, oh, great, great game by them.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: So B minus sounds fair.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's move to the receivers.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard led the day with 77 yards on four catches,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, Dontavian Wicks. Also had a touchdown, 73 total
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: yards on two catches. Devontae Smith was targeted six times
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: in this game, came down with three balls for 53 yards.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Not going to get into the rest.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I should actually get into Makai Lemon, the poor
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: freaking rookie. Four targets in this game, three receptions for
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: minus five yards.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: My goodness. Oh, my gosh. Rough times for the rookie here.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: The definition of not putting your people in position to succeed.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Is that stat line right there?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Receivers this week, I'm going to give them a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: B plus. What do you give them, Len?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go B minus there too. I don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: know if they wanted to get Smith more involved. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: would hope that they would because he's quite clearly your
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: number one receiver to me now that A.J.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Brown is gone.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Outside of the The blocking snafu that we talked about earlier,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I thought Wicks had a decent game. I loved him.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: So I'd like to see more of him as well.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: And then Goddard was just that safety valve for Hurts
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: pretty much the whole game. So I thought they did well.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: But again, I'm not floored by anything that I saw. So.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: B minus sounds fair to me.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I gave Jalen Hurts an A, given the wide receivers
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a B plus. But you know what we really didn't
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: see were those throws over the middle that we have
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: been talking about throughout this preseason and training camp that
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: we thought we were going to see hardly anything over
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the middle, Len. Oh, it drives me crazy. Again, I've
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: said it so many times on the show. I just
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: want to see some mesh concepts here and there.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Because I know it'll work. It's amazing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And if it was over the middle, it was Goddard.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Right, right.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, as far as the receivers, no, nothing.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to give– I'm going to, I'm just
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: going to say big doo-doo butter award to the, to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the offensive line in general here, because I'm so.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: All of them, huh?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm just going to say that I'm just saying
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: that right now, because I'm going to be giving them
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a D in this game. I really think that they
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: were not very good in the run game in terms
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of run blocking in terms of pass blocking and pass pro.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think they were really good. I'm giving them
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: a D this week. What do you give them?
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I think that's fair. I'm going to go D plus.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I think they gave Hertz a decent amount of time.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: So in the past game, I thought they were okay.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the running game was just abysmal. And hopefully it's,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: it's kind of what you said in terms of, you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: maybe they're just shaking off the rust. Maybe this isn't
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: a deeper long-term problem.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: And I hope to God that you're right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: But yeah, this, this was a, Very poor effort off
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: the bat for the run game, for the run blocking.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, D plus. And I think that's generous.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Better be the only D's that they get all season,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: because if we're giving them a lot of D's this season,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a long year, going to be
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: a very long year for sure. Let's move over the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: other side of the ball and the defense defensive line.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give the defensive line this week an
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: A minus. You know, what do you what do you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: think there? Because like at the end of the day, Len,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: There was only there was what one sack, two tackles
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: for a loss. There were only two quarterback hits, but
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of pressure on Jaden Daniels. And
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: they're mainly only rushing for. Yes, there were some blitzing
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: schemes that were incorporated into the game throughout all four quarters.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to give him an A minus. What
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: do you give the defensive line this week?
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, you know, again, the numbers aren't necessarily there,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: but I do think that they played well.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: I think A- is a fair grade.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Really, it's going to be hard to dock any unit
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: on this defense because I thought they played very strong,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: you know, held the– held the commanders to nine points
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: through three quarters before they kind of started to fall
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: off a little bit there at the end. But I
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: thought defensively, I think every unit was solid. And yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: the defensive line is certainly part of that with an
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: A minus. All right.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: The linebacker, Zach Bond, Jihad Campbell, Jeremiah Trotter, get involved, too,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: where he had two tackles on the day. But with
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Jihad Campbell, he was the one individual who sacked Jaden Daniels.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And Zach Bond, as I mentioned earlier before the break,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: my gosh, what a game he had coming up huge
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: in so many stops. He's tipping balls as well, just
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: making some incredible, incredible tackles. I'm going to give this
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: crew an A right off the bat here. I mean,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the linebacker core is so strong here. Even after losing
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to Kobe Dean in the offseason, A for me.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Campbell had one play late in the game where
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: he missed a coverage where he let a guy get
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: behind him. But really, that's the only negative you can
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: point to the entire game for the linebackers for me.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I think this was the strongest unit, and I will
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: say I agree with your A grade there. I think–
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, Campbell was good. Vaughn was spectacular. Yeah, no
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: complaints at all. They do that every game. Going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: be hard to complain about that unit all this year.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Secondary, I'm giving him a C +. I'm giving him
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: this grade, Len. Jaden Daniels only had 164 yards passing.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: He averaged 4.8 yards per attempt here, which is saying
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: something with regard to keeping these receivers, Antonio Williams, Stephon Diggs,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, keeping them honest really throughout the game. But
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: then there were some spots where they just didn't come
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: up big. We talked about Cooper Dajin. He just didn't
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: look like himself. Quinion Mitchell here and there at times.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: being a little bit out of position as well. Reek Wolin,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you know, getting his feet wet here as an Eagles
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: cornerback in this Vic Fangio scheme. I'm going to go
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: C-plus just because, yes, and even though Stephon Diggs, he
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: had nine targets, came down with four receptions for 55
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Antonio Williams at the end of
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the game with his touchdown as well. I think there
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: were times when the secondary defense seemed a little bit
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: lost at times out there at times, not all the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: time at times.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm giving them a C plus. What do
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: you give them?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go B minus. I think that, I
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: think that they were, yeah. Did the gene have a
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: great game? No, not by any stretch of the imagination,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: but I thought that, you know, woolen was decent. I
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: thought that when you on was decent, you know, you
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: held their best wide receiver, Terry McLaurin to no catches
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: until basically the end of the game. Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: So I thought they did a good job there.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Diggs got his and thankfully he made that stupid penalty
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: that kept them from, you know, being able to go
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: for two earlier in the game. But by and large,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I think they did a decent job. You know, I
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: would have loved to have seen them get a takeaway, but.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: You know, that's not always going to be there. I
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: thought they did all right. I thought they were not
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: not horrible by any stretch of the imagination. So B
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: minus sounds about fair.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: All right. Sounds good.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Let's get into our grades when it comes to special
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: teams than the offensive coaching, defensive.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Coaching, special teams.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give an A this week because Braden
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Mann was punting like a madman today. Holy freaking crap.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I just I you know, I don't know if he's
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: getting better as the years go on. When you look
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: at his punting, he averaged 51.6 yards per punt. But, man,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: there were a few punts that were like inside the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: 10-yard line. And his long on the day was 64 yards.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, Braden Mann doing a damn good job. And
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: we also got to mention Darius Cooper. I mean, he
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: was a beast on special teams, especially in the first half.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Just his tackling was fantastic. He was a beast. I'm
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: giving him an A. What do you give special teams?
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to agree with you on that, A.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I talked about my– ranking my MVPs for this game.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Second place, Braden Mann. Oh, nice.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: I thought he was spectacular.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: In this game.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: And normally, you know, if you're given– If you're giving
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: props to a punter, it probably didn't turn out too
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: well for your team. But I thought he really helped
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: them out in terms of field position during the course
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: of the day. And then also that blocked field goal,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: blocked extra point attempt by Jalen Carter. So, yeah, special
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: teams gets an A from me. I thought they were
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: really good today.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Jake Elliott making all of his extra points. And then
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: he had the 35 yarder that he made as well.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: So it was good to see him making field goals. So, yeah,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: excuse me, geez, let's get over the defensive side of
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the ball. Vic Fangio here. I'm going to give Vic
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Fangio this week, a B plus, um, I don't know. I,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you know, he, he's Vic Fangio and yes, they got
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to get these guys. They got to get these guys
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: into a rhythm for sure. He's got to do that
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: as the defensive coordinator. I think he called a pretty
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: damn good game. I'm giving him a B plus. What
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: do you give him?
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's kind of one of those things where, you know,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: you're just like maybe kind of expect it. So you
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: got to maybe ask the question, like, are we maybe
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: starting to take him for granted a little bit, but yeah,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: it was a, It was a reliable Vic Fangio game
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: that you can depend on and that I think we've
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: come to expect out of him. So I'm going to
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: say B +. I mean, I think they were really
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: strong today. And, you know, yeah, it's a credit to
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: him that we're kind of just assuming this is going
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: to happen.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Sean Mannion.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And, uh, and, uh, Nick Sirianni, you didn't hear Nick
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Sirianni's name like too much. You really didn't see him
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: too much. It was more just all about Sean Mannion
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and his style of offense, what it was doing on
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the field, what it wasn't doing on the field, but
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Sean Mannion and Nick Sirianni, I'm going to give them
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: a B minus this week. I mean, yes, after the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: trials and tribulations that we talked about earlier with the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: offensive line, the run game, really not getting there at
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, they ended up putting 24
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: points on the board at home and home opener. Um,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: not bad by any stretch of the imagination but i
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: think b minus may be fair i don't know what
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: are you thinking.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go slightly lower there i'm gonna say c
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: plus okay um i just you know and and again
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: not that i think oh the sky's falling or these
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: guys suck or anything like that but again going back
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: to what i said um it's your it's your your
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: first game with any kind of you know, game speed
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: and pressure and expectations. And you're just throwing guys out
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: there and this is what's going to happen. So this,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: this C plus that I'm going to give them now,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's as meaningful as a grade as
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: it's going to be four weeks from now when they've
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: actually got some time to play together. I feel like
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: that grade will mean more in a couple of weeks
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: when they've had some time to gel. At this point, I,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I don't, I'm not giving them a good grade, but I.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Don't know that it's, you know, I don't know.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: It just feels incomplete thus far because it's all just
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: so new. Gotcha.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get into the quote new segment, which is
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: MVP and least valuable player, the LVP and doo-doo butter award.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Let's let's end on the positive note with the MVP. OK,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: let's do the doo-doo butter award. The least valuable player
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: on the team. Who is that for you, buddy?
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: We talked about Dickerson earlier. I, he's mine too.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: He's mine too.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I, and I have a feeling we're going to
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: have the same MVP as well.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we will. I don't know if
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: we will. We may have somebody different and that's okay.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And that's okay.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. It's totally fine.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: In fact, it's, it's better than that. We, you know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: aren't always agreeing on stuff. Yeah. I just, yeah. Dickerson
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: kind of stood out. Not that anybody was atrocious, but
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: he was, It just felt like the worst player on
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: the field for me.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Today for the Eagles. All right.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: MVP.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Who is that for you?
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Zach Bond.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Um, that's mine too.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: No, yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I, I, I would have been shocked if you
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: picked anybody else.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I just thought he was, you just heard his name
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: all game long, just seemingly everywhere.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Um, Yeah. I mean, he's he's freaking great.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: He really is.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Probably the most underrated linebacker in the NFL.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we're biased, but I think that's actually
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: a pretty fair statement.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about going with Jalen Hurts and I
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: know he's the quarterback, but the reason I was thinking
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: about going with Hurts inevitably didn't. But.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: It was because of the three touchdown passes. I am
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: so freaking tired of the narrative. Oh, you can't throw this.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: You can't throw this.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: All he does is run it in from one yard out. Exactly.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: All that crap. And it's like, shut up out there.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: So I was thinking about doing it, but I really
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: do think Zach was the MVP of this game.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. Hurts.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, he can make all the throws. He actually
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: has a pretty good deep ball. So I don't know why.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Or it's like, oh, he's got all this talent around him.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: That's the other thing you always hear about him. But no,
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: he's a legitimately good quarterback.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Today is all about Zach Vaughn. He was just phenomenal. So, yeah,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: that's my MVP.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: All right, folks, that's going to do it for us here.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles beating again the Washington Commanders week one of
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the NFL season by a score of 24 to 22.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: The Eagles are playing the Tennessee Titans next week on
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the road down in Nashville. And I'm Jeff Warren. This
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: is Len Hunsicker here. Buddy, you got any final thoughts
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: before we head out?
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Just a weird non-game related thing. Whenever I saw the
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: wide shot of the crowd, I think the fans have
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: spoken in terms of what jersey they prefer, and it's
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: the one you're wearing.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Kelly green seemed like it was outnumbering the, the midnight green,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: like nine to one in those wide crowd shots. I
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: don't know why I didn't pick up on it before,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: but I was like, Oh my God. It's like, so yeah,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: we all love it.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: We all love it.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: That's why it's nostalgia. It's, it's what, especially if you're
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: our age, it's what you grew up with.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Folks head on over to Philadelphia sports table.com. That's
• 31:59
