  Speaker 1: Hello, welcome back to Inside the Tape on Inside the Birds.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I'm Jeff Mosher with Adam Kaplan. And of course, we
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: have Greg Cosell with us to break down the tape
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the Eagles in their week to win over the Titans.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: We already did the offense. We are going to do
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the defense. And this one's going to be an interesting one, Greg,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: because as Adam and I were discussing in the postgame show,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: if you look at the basic data, they didn't give
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: up 300 yards, they were tight in many areas, but
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it just seems like for two weeks they're prone to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: giving up the big play at a weird moment in
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a way that the fans and the public aren't used
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to seeing the Eagles do.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, I guess that's true. Not that
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we're going to spend a lot of time talking about
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the Titans, but I thought you know, the Titans had
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: two big plays when they put Ward under center in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the play action pass game, which they normally don't do
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: much of. I think personally they should be doing more
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of that as a lot of teams are. But yeah,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was the best offensive performance because I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: see the Titans every week because I do radio down there.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I thought this was the best Titans performance with Ward since,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and again, he didn't throw 30 or 35 balls. They
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: didn't run that many plays, but they didn't turn it over.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: They looked And I don't mean this sarcastically at all
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: or in a negative way, but there's no question they
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: look like a professional offense out there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Greg, I think what continues to show up, and you
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: kind of talked about it last week, but it showed
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: up even more, though, as you said, Ward didn't drop
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: back a lot. They just don't have a finisher edge rusher.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: They just don't. I know they're hoping Renard, when he
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: comes back, will be. But you actually told us that
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: a while ago, that that's an issue as talented as
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Smith and Hunnar.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And it's showing up. It's just showing up. I don't know.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Jeff.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure what they expect from Godard when he's ready,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: but he hasn't played football in a long time.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And I think people are going.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: To have to be patient when he's back because it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: not going to happen overnight.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: But they need a finisher. I'll tell you the thing
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that really stood out to me, and I'm fascinated to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: see going forward, is I think Mauro Jomo is playing
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: some seriously good football. And I think that it clearly
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: increased his power and strength because he definitely has quickness.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And I got to tell you something. I don't know
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: what the deal is. And I know they signed Jordan
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Davis to big money, but Jomo, the first two games
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: has played significantly more snaps. And if he can become
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a good run defender, which by the way, he was
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in this game, there were a number of plays where
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: he physically dominated, which normally has not been his MO.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: He's been more of a quickness player. Then, you could
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: almost make the argument that he's a better player than
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Jordan Davis because he gives you pass rush. The Eagles
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: have faced 29 third down snaps this year. Davis has
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: been on the field for four of them. Wow.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's pretty interesting. And I wonder if some of that is,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: he's really only playing three DTs. So is he really
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: trying to just conserve the snaps for Davis? Who's a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: bigger guy. I mean, he's not doing what Jalen Carter
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Carter's out there plenty, but, he is with Davis and it's,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it does seem strange after the big contract. And even
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: after the team went out of its way to talk
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: about Davis as an improved pass rusher, which we also
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: saw that maybe it's just that Ojomo has been so good.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: You can't keep them off the field.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if Davis is fighting some
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: kind of injury that's unpublicized, but in this game date,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Ojomo played 43 snaps, which was 81% of the snaps.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Davis played 23 snaps, which was only 43% of the snaps.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And the same thing happened last week. So again, I
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: don't want to make a judgment. I don't know. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. But if a Jomo can
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: play the run the way he did yesterday, because he
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: gives you pass rush.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: A lot.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. That's the agent. It's a big deal.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Vic Fangio is going to play the best players. Vic,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you know. Anybody can go in and say, well, we're
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: paying Davis a lot of money. Vic is going to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: tell him, you know, there's the door. Don't let it
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: hit you on the way out. He's going to play
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the guys that can win, you know, the best players.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: You know, that's who Vic is. He's been doing this
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a long time.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So going under center is something you said the Titans
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: did quite a bit against the Eagles. Is that something
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: they did not do much of last year or week one?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Well, week one, no. They didn't do it week one.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I think they were something like 85% gun week one. Look,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the two big pass plays came under center play action,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the one to Ridley and then the Iowa manure one,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know, where he, he hurtled, um, uh, Mukabu, um, right.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: You know, so excuse me. Um, so, you know, to
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: me again, I'm not Brian Dable and I'm not suggesting
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I know more than he did. I just think putting,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: you know, quarterback under center, first of all, it defines
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the reads more. It gives them clearly a better sense
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: of timing on their drop with their footwork and their balanced.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: which is something they've been working on with Cam Ward anyway. But,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you know, those were the two throws where he looked
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the most comfortable throwing the ball. It looked easy because
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: he has a very good arm. He's got a live arm.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, I spoke to someone today, okay, who reached
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: out to me. I didn't reach out. And I said,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and here's what this person said. He's a coach in
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the league, by the way. Okay. He said, I think
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Ward's got a chance to be just like Jalen Hurts.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think his game is that far off. The
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: problem is he's not quite as fast, and they aren't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: letting him throw it deep, which they need to.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: He does have a live arm.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Well, there's Tate. That's where Tate comes in.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to– So anyway, again, that's just an aside. Right. No,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: it's good. Yeah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Cool.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You mentioned– The Titans, when they did run the ball
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: effectively up the middle, because we were talking about Davis
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and Carter, they used a lot of duo, which is
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: something the Eagles have been running.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Around all the time. Good run scheme against the Eagles
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: because those two guys are hard to move. And, you know, Davis,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: by the way, this was no knock on Jordan Davis.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: He's a very good run defender, you know, which is
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: what we were talking about before. He's a very, very
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: good run defender. Right, right. All right.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some footage of the more
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: interesting plays from this game. anything in particular that just
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: jumped out to you is to me, that's why Adam
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and I had trouble with this. Like, it's not like
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the Eagles played bad. They were just shoddy in a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: few areas that hurt them at times.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And, um, yeah, just like we talked about the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: old line where it was nothing like, Oh my God,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that stinks. I thought it was, you know, like I said,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of people thought, Oh my God, the, the, uh,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Titans put up 20, the Eagles defense must've been awful. Um,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel that way, but the Titans were six
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: for 13 on third down conversions. And they did get
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: in the red zone four times. And you know, that's,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a number of things that the Eagles
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: feel they have to clean up. And I bet a
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: lot of those things are things we're just not going
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to know because they're probably more detail and nuance than,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: than we know. Right.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's take a look at the duo concept
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that we talked about in case people don't understand what
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: duo means. It really is double teams upfront on the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: two defensive tackles. So here's a, an eight yard run
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: by Tajay Spears on second and nine that kind of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: illustrates that, that blocking scheme.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You can see if you freeze it right there,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you see that's duo, two double teams on the defensive tackles.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And then at some point, one of, one of the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: offensive linemen on each of the duo blocks has to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: come off and get to a second level linebacker.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Right. I noticed the first run of the game for
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the Titans, they ran duo and, Bond did a great
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: job of shooting the gap because you can see when
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you get there, there's a big gap there. Bond shot
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it and it was only like a one yard game.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Bond's a great gap shooter, by the way. He is.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It looked to me like on this nine yard, eight
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: yard run. And again, this is the second quarter. It's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: hot and humid that maybe there was some hesitation on
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the linebackers. They just didn't get downhill very fast. And
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: then they got blocked out.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: This wasn't played really. And Dajin ended up making a
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: tackle here. This wasn't played real well by either linebacker
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: on this play. Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Because the gap is there. You just got to get
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: into it. And Vaughn, for some reason, went away from
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the gap.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And I don't think Campbell played this well either. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: don't know why he stepped away from, you know.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Campbell looked like he was going to go there, and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: then he just didn't.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe he just got nervous about the cutback because there
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: was nobody there. Again, all this happens fast, you know.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: But they did run duo a number of times.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So you pointed out the Eagles have been running some
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: stunt concepts, some loaded fronts, and I believe this is
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the first example on 3rd and 13 in the second quarter.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Explain the loaded front concept here.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: A loaded front means you're going to line up with
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: three defensive linemen to one side of the offensive center.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And by the way, they did this at times with
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Jalen Carter playing defensive end. It might've been this play.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I can't tell if that's Carter.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I think that is Carter. And then we'll take a
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: look at the other angle too, but I think that's Carter.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: So almost always to the load side, there's a stunt concept,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you know? So yeah, that's, let's see. Yeah. They wouldn't
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: run right here. Yeah. I think that's by the way,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: who's in the middle and he's the looper in this
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: stunt concept.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Right. Now the center slides toward him.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: This was actually, an amazing throw by Cam Ward. Sure.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Look at him flinging in there between three defenders.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Well, and also look when he started his delivery, he
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: read this way early, correctly all the way. He started
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: this delivery before I, I mean, this is really, really good.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: His motion is so tight. Wow. Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Really fast trigger right there, which, again like we said
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: in in the in the hertz episode in the offense
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: episode when you do it on time like that you
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: give yards after the catch opportunities for the receiver which.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: No question yeah this is a.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Big time yeah big time throw And we can take
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a look at that loaded front from this side now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: That is Jalen Carter in the kind of a wide nine.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: There it is. I think there were two or three
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: times he was in that alignment in this game.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And then Hunt. And you see the center has to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: pick up the looper there in Hunt, right?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He defeats the rush by getting out so quickly. Yeah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It's a good job by the line. Also, the Titans
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: by picking it up. Mm-hmm. Alright, and that was a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: big gain. A lot of big gains for them. This
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: one is a 27-yarder. Is this the screen? This is
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the screen, Greg. You really like this. What did you
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: like about this?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: The reason I like this, I learned this from Jaws,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: so I'm not going to take credit for it. Quarterbacks
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: play a role in screens. They have to make it
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: look like it's a drop-back pass. You don't drop back
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and immediately show screen action because that gives it away
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to the defense. Jaws used to talk about this all
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the time. The details of playing the position. Look at
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Look at Ward. He's dropping back. He's looking to his
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: left like it's dropped back all the way. And then
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: now he just gets to the screen part. That's so cool.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: That is so well done.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: That's the detail. Those are important things on plays. Yeah, absolutely.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: And then, therefore, go back. Because of what he did,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: if you don't mind going back. Yeah. Look at Zach
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Vaughn right in the middle. Look how he sort of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: even starts moving toward where Ward's looking. And then he's
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: not in great position. He's not in conflict. Yeah. To
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: come and make this play. Yep.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: See? Yep.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And when you've got explosive playmakers, you've got a little juice.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Spears does.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Spears does have more juice.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: That's the kind of stuff I look at when I
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: look at quarterback. What did he sell that screen?
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, I thought for sure if you just went
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: by that and didn't know, he's going to throw downfield.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Just a little. You know, that's what the position is.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It's a detailed position quarterback. I mean, look, obviously when
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you throw the ball, you've got to throw it accurately
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: and all that. We know that. But the details are
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: so critically– that's what separates guys. It's the details.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: The one that Mahomes threw to Kenneth Walker on the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Chiefs game-winning drive on Sunday night. I don't know if
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you saw it yet.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It's a nice little loop over to Kenneth Walker on
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the left side on the screen that does not.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Start off– You know what? I saw the replay. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: didn't realize what play you were talking about. By the way,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the stuff I saw of Mahomes, I thought he looked
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the best he's looked in a while in terms of
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: throwing– with timing, with structure, making big-time throws.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: All right, this one's Calvin Ridley. You mentioned under center
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and play action, what it can do.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Classic. See, this is what, to me, they should be
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: doing more of this. And they motion Tate outside of Ridley.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: They get Tate running vertically. The Eagles rotate down to
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: cover three. Look at the second-level defenders react to the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: run action. Now look at Ward. He's comfortable in the pocket.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Ridley sits right down in a huge void because it's
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: cover three. And the corner up top who is woolen,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: he's got to obviously react to take because it's vertical.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: And because Ridley's got juice and he, you know, attacks
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: with his vertical stem, the safety, is that Makuba? Yes,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: that's Makuba, I believe.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: No, that could be Epps.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Or Epps. He's got to worry about the vertical element there.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: It could be two birds. So he sits right in
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: a void and it's just beautifully executed.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Listen, this is nothing the Eagles did wrong, right? This
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: is a good play call expecting that kind of coverage
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: against them.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: There was just some good execution by Tennessee. Again, as
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: you said, they didn't put up a lot of yards,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: but the plays they made, Ward just, he beat the defense.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: He just threw the ball on time and well.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And Ward looked as comfortable throwing this, you know, because
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you're protected. You know, a lot of times play action too,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: you get sort of max pro as we call it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: And he was very comfortable making this throw. He didn't
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: hurry himself.

• 16:30
  Speaker 1: this is not going to be duo, this Tennessee run.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: This is going to be outside zone, mid zone, but
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: this is going to be one you look at and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: say the Eagles needed to tighten up because it's Pollard.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: This is outside zone. You can tell by Pollard the
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: way he turns his body.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Correct, which we talked about with Saquon, how you have
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: to turn your body and receive it and hit that hole.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Was this the 18-yarder?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: This was the 18-yarder, yep.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This was good play. It was. It was. By
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the way, this is where this is what the one
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: play where a Jomo just he got handled by Skowronski
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: just shoved him out of the way. If you go back,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: you can see. That's right.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will check that. He got his revenge later,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: which we'll get to in a second.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, yeah. There was. Yeah, he blew him up. Yeah. Oh, sorry.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: What did I do here?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: You went to another play.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this was the very next play.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: They did a good job on.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Here we go again. So a Jomo.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: You could see him getting blocked out.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: He just got pushed out of the way. Yeah. It happens.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Not exactly thrown out of the club because he didn't
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: get decleted, but he was out of the way.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's funny. Sports people, sometimes I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: think people don't understand. You think about all sports. You know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: there's good and bad. You're going to get your ass
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: kicked sometimes, and you're just going to, you know. It's
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: like baseball. I mean, I'm a big baseball fan, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I watch the Phillies whenever I can. And, you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: you strike out, and you're you just got to come
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: up the next time. I mean, you didn't go for four.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean, you know, the world's falling apart. Yep.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: This stuff happens in sports for sure.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: All right. On this one, uh, it's the very next
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: play after the 18 yard run, he goes to a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: much better job defending another outside zone. You can see
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: at the point of attack on the right side of
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the Titans line. That's it looks like Cooper is run
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: blitzing Greg from, from the right edge. Um, I can
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: go back a little.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Cooper to Jean is kind of coming in here.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Coop is.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see him. Yeah. Yeah. And I thought the.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Edge defender Smith does a really nice job of, you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: getting outside the right guard.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yep. Smith is so good against the run. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I've heard from a number of teams for two or
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: three years.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Like they, it's a thing that shows up with him.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Like every week is how smart he is against the run. Right.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Now, this one's fun, Greg. Io Manor with the little hurdle.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: But again... Oh, yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Again, play action under center. You know, play action under center.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Really well done. Look how the Eagles... Again, they're going
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to single high here. And he comes from across the formation.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I like how there's two double... There's like double over
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: routes here. Would you call this more strong?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Well, they run the vertical clear route and it takes
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Woolen out of the play. And then they basically replace
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: with Io Manor. And because of the run action... No
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: one has their eyes on I.O. Manor, so it's just
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: really well done.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Is this considered four strong? It does look like four
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: targets run.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Let's see the beginning. Not really, no.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Okay. They do flood the right side of the field.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they get I.O. Manor.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: And whoop, as Berman would say.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: All right, here's one of the biggest plays in the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: game because if the Titans get a touchdown on this drive,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: then it's... it's not great for the Eagles. They settle
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: for a field goal. They're at first and 20, and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: our man Mauro Jomo up again. Now, Adam, did Skrotsky
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: make a Pro Bowl yet? We know he's a first-round pick.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Is he a Pro Bowler?
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but he got a big contract.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: He just got paid. It's done.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Now watch him get a dog walk. He got thrown
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: out of the club.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Can you move that back?
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Can you show that back? There's a big guy by
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: a Jomo.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to, it'll be up the other angle.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: He didn't do this kind of stuff, you know, in
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: previous years. Right.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: This just really foiled the drive and then they would
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: have to settle the field. But look at him just
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: manhandle Peter Skrotsky.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Heavy hands, man. Heavy hands.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: And by the way, to make the tackle too after
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you manhandled the guy because he had a lunge to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: The fact that this guy, he's gotten better every year
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: and he's his seventh round pick, the league just– They.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Missed on him because I did him coming out of
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Texas and I thought he was way better than where
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: he was drafted. Yeah, I remember. We came on our show,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: our Pressure Up show.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Just manhandled him and then he makes the tackle. It's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: like you always like the manhandling and you cause the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: pressure and you hope somebody else cleans up. Nope, he
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: just cleaned it up himself. That was really fantastic stuff.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: All right, good stuff. That is a look at the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Eagles' defense. Again, not like they did a ton of
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: things wrong. You tip your cap to the Titans because
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: they came up with some things that were very effective.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: And we'll see going forward as the Eagles' defense tries
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to tighten up.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the point is they're 2-0. And they're not going
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: to face Caleb Williams this week. Correct. Correct.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And we'll have all that. next week on Inside the Tape.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: That's going to do it for this episode. For Greg
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Cosell and Adam Kaplan, I'm Jeff Mosher. You've been watching
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Inside the Tape on Inside the Birds.
