Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome into this edition of
- 0:12Speaker 1: The check O Daily. It's Andrew de Cheko from Inside
- 0:15Speaker 1: the Birds dot Com bringing you a postgame edition of
- 0:19Speaker 1: the podcast. The Eagles win in resounding fashion in a
- 0:24Speaker 1: start contrast to the previous matchup against the Giants. They
- 0:28Speaker 1: win thirty eight to twenty in a game that featured
- 0:32Speaker 1: just about everything. There's a lot of really positive things
- 0:36Speaker 1: to take away from this game, sans I don't know,
- 0:39Speaker 1: maybe the miss fifty eight yard field goal from Jake Elliott,
- 0:43Speaker 1: but there was a lot to glean from this game
- 0:45Speaker 1: as they can kind of take this, compartmentalize and use
- 0:49Speaker 1: it as maybe a springboard going into the bye week,
- 0:53Speaker 1: and then they have the Green Bay Packers Monday night
- 0:56Speaker 1: on November tenth. But let's talk about the game that
- 0:59Speaker 1: we saw Sunday afternoon at Linking Financial Field against those
- 1:03Speaker 1: New York Giants. First and foremost, I thought it was
- 1:07Speaker 1: a very well executed game plan offensively from Kevin Petullo
- 1:12Speaker 1: and then the execution on the field from the players.
- 1:15Speaker 1: There was so much crafty and shrewd play design, particularly
- 1:19Speaker 1: in the red zone. There was a lot of optionality
- 1:23Speaker 1: in the run game I just think that he's starting
- 1:26Speaker 1: to come into his own as a coordinator as a
- 1:29Speaker 1: play caller. And I know some may be going into
- 1:31Speaker 1: the season or even during the struggles of the offense
- 1:35Speaker 1: early on, we're probably wondering, well, how can someone give
- 1:39Speaker 1: the keys to this kind of offense that's already made
- 1:43Speaker 1: and ready to go to an inexperienced play caller. Well,
- 1:48Speaker 1: it's because Nick Sirianni believes in Kevin Petullo. He trusts
- 1:52Speaker 1: his offensive mind and what he's ultimately going to be
- 1:55Speaker 1: able to do, and how he crafts things and his processes.
- 1:59Speaker 1: And I think it maybe took a little bit longer
- 2:02Speaker 1: than I'm sure many had hoped, but it seems like
- 2:05Speaker 1: he's starting to turn the corner and has a really
- 2:07Speaker 1: good feel for his personnel how to put players in position.
- 2:10Speaker 2: To be successful. At least he did in this game.
- 2:14Speaker 1: There was some really good play designs, and I think
- 2:18Speaker 1: he deserves some credit in this game. Also, Brett Toth.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I want to mention this at the top because Brett
- 2:26Speaker 1: Toath has gotten a lot of negative comments leading into
- 2:30Speaker 1: this game, and I've seen it on social media, I've
- 2:34Speaker 1: heard it on the air, and I don't agree with it,
- 2:37Speaker 1: and I think he proved a lot of people wrong today,
- 2:41Speaker 1: sort of complementing what the Eagles have in Lane Johnson,
- 2:45Speaker 1: Jordan Mylotta, Landon Dickerson, and Tyler Stein stepping in in
- 2:49Speaker 1: his first career start at center.
- 2:52Speaker 2: He's played guard.
- 2:53Speaker 1: He pretty much reped a guard in training camp, and
- 2:56Speaker 1: I think everyone got to see what it can look
- 2:59Speaker 1: like when a player as reps at one position during
- 3:02Speaker 1: the week and to kind of take this a step further,
- 3:05Speaker 1: there's a reason why the Philadelphia Eagles and the coaching
- 3:08Speaker 1: staff has confidence in Brett toath One. He knows the system,
- 3:12Speaker 1: the offense. He has a lot of experience in the offense,
- 3:15Speaker 1: but he's also very well versed in how Jeff Stoutlin
- 3:18Speaker 1: wants things to be blocked up and some of the
- 3:20Speaker 1: technical aspects of how he teaches it.
- 3:23Speaker 2: So he went out.
- 3:24Speaker 1: There and I thought that he put together a really
- 3:27Speaker 1: strong performance and he deserves a lot of credit for that, because,
- 3:30Speaker 1: as I mentioned, you can't mention anything about him about
- 3:35Speaker 1: him potentially starting when we put that out on whatever Thursday,
- 3:40Speaker 1: without getting negative comments, and a lot of it, I
- 3:43Speaker 1: have to say, is baseless because it's outside perception it's
- 3:48Speaker 1: not what the team or the organization feels about a
- 3:52Speaker 1: certain player. And he went out there and he checked
- 3:54Speaker 1: off a lot of boxes. And I had a really
- 3:56Speaker 1: good conversation with him after the game, which I'll be
- 4:00Speaker 1: writing as my postgame story about how he stepped up
- 4:03Speaker 1: and answered the bell when the Eagles needed him the most.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Without Cam Jurgens.
- 4:07Speaker 1: But let's unpack this because we'll start with the inactives
- 4:12Speaker 1: and inactive for the Eagles, Adorri Jackson, AJ Brown, Asizo Jalari,
- 4:18Speaker 1: Sam Howell, and Cam Jurgens.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But some of the stats here.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Quarterback Jayalen Hurts phenomenal, outing fifteen to twenty for one
- 4:27Speaker 1: to seventy nine and four touchdowns in the air. That
- 4:30Speaker 1: was a one forty one point five quarterback rating while
- 4:33Speaker 1: adding another twenty two yards on the ground. Devonte Smith
- 4:36Speaker 1: six of nine targets he reeled in for eighty four yards,
- 4:39Speaker 1: and Johan Dottson hauled in a forty yard touchdown late
- 4:42Speaker 1: in the game. For the Giants, Jackson Dark completed fourteen
- 4:45Speaker 1: to twenty four passes for one ninety three in a touchdown.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Running Back Camp Scatobow, who's been a rookie sensation suffered
- 4:53Speaker 1: a gruesome ankle injury which ended up being a dislocated
- 4:57Speaker 1: ankle early in the contest and was immediately carted off.
- 5:00Speaker 2: You knew it was.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Bad when you see Cooper Degeni wave over to the
- 5:03Speaker 1: giant sideline to get some attention on the field. The
- 5:06Speaker 1: card immediately comes out Scatabo is carted off and as
- 5:11Speaker 1: of tonight, it's that he's going to have surgery either
- 5:14Speaker 1: tonight or tomorrow, so they're taking quick action to get
- 5:17Speaker 1: him try to get him as quickly recovered as possible.
- 5:23Speaker 2: But let's get to the observations.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Because a year after a week's of forecasting, not a year,
- 5:31Speaker 1: the much anticipated Saquon Barkley game finally happened. Barkley, who
- 5:35Speaker 1: hadn't rushed more than eighty eight yards in any game
- 5:38Speaker 1: this season.
- 5:38Speaker 2: That was Week two against the Chiefs.
- 5:40Speaker 1: He turned out one hundred and seven yards and a
- 5:42Speaker 1: touchdown on ten carries in the first half. Finished with
- 5:45Speaker 1: fourteen carries for one hundred and fifty yards and a
- 5:48Speaker 1: touchdown on the ground. He had twenty four yards receiving
- 5:50Speaker 1: and a touchdown in the air on the twenty eight
- 5:53Speaker 1: yard run late in the fourth quarter. He came up
- 5:56Speaker 1: a little gimpy came out of the game at that
- 5:58Speaker 1: point the game was out of reach, but ended up
- 6:00Speaker 1: being a groin injury. He was questionable return to return
- 6:04Speaker 1: and they didn't really need him back out there, and
- 6:06Speaker 1: then they turned the reins over to Tank Bigsby, who
- 6:10Speaker 1: eclipsed the one hundred yard rushing mark and really impressed
- 6:13Speaker 1: me in terms of his physicality, his vision and decision
- 6:18Speaker 1: making and maneuvering in tight spaces, and he ran with
- 6:22Speaker 1: the purpose and the Eagles maybe have a two headed
- 6:25Speaker 1: rushing attack. Will ship we also worked in, had a
- 6:28Speaker 1: couple of carries, had two really good kick returns, one
- 6:31Speaker 1: of forty one yards and another of thirty two. Just
- 6:35Speaker 1: really decisive and slippery in the open field. Has a
- 6:39Speaker 1: really good understanding and feel for space, and they've answered
- 6:45Speaker 1: a lot of questions there. In the kick return game,
- 6:47Speaker 1: it was once again Will Shipley and Xavier Gibson. But
- 6:50Speaker 1: I think the big story in this game was the
- 6:52Speaker 1: Eagles blocking up front getting the running game going with
- 6:56Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, who had a monster game. He scored on
- 6:59Speaker 1: a sixty five yard touchdown on the second play of
- 7:02Speaker 1: the game. Great blocking on the left side from Jordan
- 7:05Speaker 1: Malatta and Landon Dickerson to pave the way. Saquon was
- 7:09Speaker 1: untouched and it was very clear once he got to
- 7:11Speaker 1: the second level he was gone. And for Tank Bigsby,
- 7:16Speaker 1: if you listen to what Nick Sirioti had to say,
- 7:18Speaker 1: I guess it was maybe two weeks ago. He noted
- 7:22Speaker 1: Bigsby's practice habits and how he's been practicing really well,
- 7:25Speaker 1: and clearly that's evident when last week against the Vikings,
- 7:29Speaker 1: aj Dillon was rendered inactive and Bigsby got to carry
- 7:33Speaker 1: for eleven yards in.
- 7:35Speaker 2: The second series.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Had to be the second series he had two carries
- 7:40Speaker 1: for eighteen and then he ended up breaking things wide
- 7:42Speaker 1: open when he got more carries in the second half.
- 7:45Speaker 2: That's something that he can build off of.
- 7:47Speaker 1: I was in on that scrum later in his availability
- 7:51Speaker 1: after the game, so that there's a lot of positives
- 7:54Speaker 1: to pull away from. I thought the Eagles running game
- 7:56Speaker 1: and the blocking rose to the occasion and they got
- 8:00Speaker 1: back to that bowie ball style that you like to
- 8:02Speaker 1: see that we've grown accustomed to seeing under Nick Sirianni,
- 8:06Speaker 1: and they were the bowies on the block in this game.
- 8:08Speaker 1: It almost looked like they took this one personal and
- 8:11Speaker 1: went out there and executed. And this is a team
- 8:15Speaker 1: that seems like they're getting better at the right time.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And I think as a whole, the offense is starting
- 8:23Speaker 1: to get better. You don't often see that seven I
- 8:26Speaker 1: guess eight games into the season. Now the equals are
- 8:28Speaker 1: six and two. That an offense gets better and you're
- 8:30Speaker 1: starting to see them turn the corner. But it seems
- 8:34Speaker 1: to be that way. And now the bye week affwards
- 8:36Speaker 1: players like Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, aj brown A, Dori Jackson,
- 8:41Speaker 1: Aziz Ojulari time to rest up and get ready for
- 8:48Speaker 1: the backstretch of games.
- 8:50Speaker 2: So really good stuff from the offense. But so the
- 8:59Speaker 2: Eagles open up up in base defense.
- 9:00Speaker 1: They had Zach Bonn and n Kobe Denett, linebacker Jahad
- 9:03Speaker 1: Campbell and jay loox Hunt were on the edge, and
- 9:06Speaker 1: Quinya Mitchell and Cooper Jean were the cornerbacks. I thought
- 9:09Speaker 1: it was a strong opening series for jayalox Hunt and
- 9:12Speaker 1: get this, jay loox Hunt had nine pressures on twenty
- 9:15Speaker 1: two rushes and picked up his first sack of the season.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I thought he was outstanding. The Eagles as a whole
- 9:22Speaker 1: picked up five sacks on the day Moro Jomo got
- 9:27Speaker 1: a sack, Jordan Davis, Jayalen Carter, Zach Bonn, and jayox Hunt.
- 9:33Speaker 1: So I mean, that was what you want to see
- 9:35Speaker 1: from a defense that they've been providing a lot of pressures,
- 9:38Speaker 1: but they haven't necessarily gotten home with regularity. But in
- 9:42Speaker 1: a game like this where with a porous offensive line,
- 9:45Speaker 1: you want to see a team like this pounce.
- 9:48Speaker 2: And they had a decent rotation.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Remember they went into this game with only three traditional
- 9:54Speaker 1: edge rushers, that being Patrick Johnson, jay loox Hunt, josh
- 9:59Speaker 1: Usha and they had John Campbell who played some edge
- 10:04Speaker 1: as well. But I was mentioning this to Oushe because
- 10:08Speaker 1: he's been so close and he nearly got home for
- 10:13Speaker 1: a play in which they ended up overturning where it
- 10:15Speaker 1: looked like he forced the fumble there. And he's been
- 10:19Speaker 1: rushing the quarterback really well. Jaywalox Hunt's been rushing the
- 10:22Speaker 1: quarterback really well, even though the numbers may not reflect
- 10:25Speaker 1: it this game, they will, but that's what you want
- 10:28Speaker 1: to see. And then after the bye week you have
- 10:30Speaker 1: Brandon Graham and then shortly thereafter you're gonna have Nolan
- 10:33Speaker 1: Smith back. And this team played a whole lot differently
- 10:37Speaker 1: when you have Jaywen Carter, Na, Kobe Dean, Nacobe Dean. Yeah,
- 10:43Speaker 1: they got him on a deep play down the sideline
- 10:45Speaker 1: late in that one. But tone setter up front making
- 10:48Speaker 1: plays against the run, plays with a ton of juice,
- 10:51Speaker 1: brings a lot of energy to the defense and.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Offensively for the Eagles. You go back two. I mean,
- 11:01Speaker 2: just listen to some of these numbers.
- 11:03Speaker 1: I mean, Saquon Barkley I mentioned fourteen for one to fifteen,
- 11:06Speaker 1: the touchdown, Tank Bigsby nine for one oh four, the
- 11:09Speaker 1: twenty nine yarder which was as long of the day
- 11:11Speaker 1: I believe came on a second in twenty six, and.
- 11:18Speaker 2: The receiving game Davonte Smith six for eighty four.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Saquon had four for twenty four, Dallas Goddard three for
- 11:27Speaker 1: twenty eight and two touchdowns, Johan Dotson one for forty
- 11:30Speaker 1: in a touchdown, Xavier Gibson one for three. It was
- 11:33Speaker 1: sort of a play in which they flipped it to him.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Hey, Philly fans, game day is stressful enough, parking, traffic,
- 11:40Speaker 3: long lines, We've all been there. But when it comes
- 11:42Speaker 3: to your cannabis, Camden Apothecary makes it easy. This is
- 11:47Speaker 3: the dispensary for sports fans, just minutes outside of Philly
- 11:51Speaker 3: with plenty of free parking. You'll be in and out fast,

- 12:30Speaker 3: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans twenty
- 12:34Speaker 3: one and up.
- 12:35Speaker 1: But I want to get back to Dallas Godder for
- 12:37Speaker 1: a second because my buddy Ricky Batallico in ninety seven
- 12:39Speaker 1: to five the Fanatic on Unfiltered before the season, mentioned
- 12:43Speaker 1: that he his boat prediction was that Dallas Godder was
- 12:45Speaker 1: going to have ten touchdowns, and it seemed a little
- 12:48Speaker 1: bit rich, But because Dallas Godd's never had more than
- 12:52Speaker 1: five touchdowns in a season back to twenty nineteen, I
- 12:56Speaker 1: think you have to go for that number. But what
- 12:59Speaker 1: you're seeing now is the Eagles get really creative and
- 13:01Speaker 1: find ways to implement Dallas Goddard. He's an effective red
- 13:05Speaker 1: zone presence. He has the ability to go up and
- 13:07Speaker 1: get the football, he has a good feel for spacing.
- 13:10Speaker 1: J One and Dallas have a good rapport. And now
- 13:13Speaker 1: you're finally starting to see what the offense can look like.
- 13:16Speaker 1: There's so much optionality, at least there was this afternoon.
- 13:20Speaker 1: There is a lot of creativity, not only in the
- 13:23Speaker 1: red zone, where the Eagles have been really exceptional, but
- 13:26Speaker 1: also all over the field. You look at the personnel packages.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Fred Johnson played at least ten or twelve snaps in
- 13:33Speaker 1: the jumbo package. The Eagles did a nice job of
- 13:36Speaker 1: re establishing the physicality and the bowie ball style that
- 13:40Speaker 1: they've grown accustomed to being under Nick Sirianni, and they
- 13:44Speaker 1: took it to the New York Giants. It was almost
- 13:46Speaker 1: like they took that game a little bit personal.
- 13:50Speaker 2: That's what you want to see against a team like this.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Utilize that as a springboard moving forward, and now all
- 13:56Speaker 1: of a sudden, you have the bye week to get
- 13:58Speaker 1: guys like Aziz Ojular, Cam Jurgens, aj Brown, Landon Dickerson,
- 14:03Speaker 1: get those guys healthy, adri Jackson, and all of a sudden,
- 14:08Speaker 1: if they're able to build on this, they could be
- 14:10Speaker 1: a force. They're a team that's getting better at this
- 14:13Speaker 1: point in the season, and that's what you want to see.
- 14:15Speaker 1: You don't want to be a team that peaks in
- 14:17Speaker 1: September or early October. You want to be a team
- 14:20Speaker 1: that starts to hit their stride right about now because
- 14:24Speaker 1: you start to grow and as the team grows, you
- 14:27Speaker 1: can see Kevin Patullo growing as a play call. You
- 14:31Speaker 1: can see certain young players that we've talked a lot
- 14:33Speaker 1: about in the summer settle into their roles and get
- 14:36Speaker 1: more comfortable. There's never been any finger pointing. It's been
- 14:40Speaker 1: about finding solutions. And when you have a team and
- 14:43Speaker 1: a culture like this and at this kind of talent
- 14:47Speaker 1: across the board, that's a scary combination and I do
- 14:50Speaker 1: believe that the Eagles can build off of that. Let's
- 14:55Speaker 1: get the special teams for a moment. Bradon Man had
- 14:58Speaker 1: one punt for fifty seven yards. Gibson had one punt
- 15:01Speaker 1: return for seventeen yards. Remember he was the punp returner
- 15:04Speaker 1: in this game because Johan Dotson was taking on a
- 15:06Speaker 1: more prominent role on offense. But if I'm the Eagles,
- 15:10Speaker 1: I'm probably considering keeping Xavier Gibson as the punt returner.
- 15:13Speaker 1: He's already a kick returner along with Bill Shipley, but
- 15:16Speaker 1: I think that should be his role be the returner.
- 15:20Speaker 2: He's looked effective there.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Will Shipley had three returns for ninety nine yards, three
- 15:25Speaker 1: kickoff returns and had the long of forty one yards.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Great stuff there, and they just did a really nice
- 15:32Speaker 1: job across the board.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Six quarterback hits in this game, and.
- 15:38Speaker 1: That those belonged to Zach Bond, Jay Looks Hunt, Moro Jomo,
- 15:42Speaker 1: Jaylen Carter.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Jordan Davis, josh Usha.
- 15:47Speaker 1: I mentioned to Moro Joma when I saw him in
- 15:49Speaker 1: the locker room, I said, you just have a knack
- 15:50Speaker 1: for coming up with sacks in critical moments late.
- 15:53Speaker 2: In games, and he laughed.
- 15:55Speaker 1: But if you think back, he got to Baker Mayfield
- 15:57Speaker 1: in the Buccaneers game, he got to Carson went the
- 16:00Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings game, and he wrangled up Jackson Dart, who's
- 16:04Speaker 1: not an easy quarterback to sack because he has that
- 16:06Speaker 1: escapability factor, and Moro has four sacks on the season,
- 16:10Speaker 1: leads the Eagles. That's a big number for an interior
- 16:14Speaker 1: player through eight games, and that's kind of what we
- 16:18Speaker 1: saw in training camp. He's a disruptive force from the interior,
- 16:21Speaker 1: but now you're seeing it play out in game situations.
- 16:25Speaker 1: So Moro Jomo has been a really big player for
- 16:28Speaker 1: the Eagles this season, and it kind of felt like
- 16:32Speaker 1: twenty twenty four in a lot of ways, because all
- 16:35Speaker 1: of a sudden, a lot of reserve players are seeing
- 16:38Speaker 1: opportunities late in games and in some case in some
- 16:41Speaker 1: cases like Drew Kendall, he saw his first offensive snaps.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Mac McWilliams was out there on defense, Marcus EPs was
- 16:47Speaker 1: out there on defense, Sidney Brown. So you're seeing some
- 16:52Speaker 1: of the reserves be able to reap the benefits because
- 16:54Speaker 1: their Eagles were able to take care of business and
- 16:56Speaker 1: put the team away early. And I think aside from
- 17:00Speaker 1: the Jake Elliott fifty eight yard miss, that was the
- 17:02Speaker 1: only blemish.
- 17:03Speaker 2: In this game.
- 17:05Speaker 1: So again, of a lot to build on in this game,
- 17:11Speaker 1: and I do believe that that this is something that
- 17:13Speaker 1: the Eagles can look at and find ways to kind
- 17:19Speaker 1: of take some things off, take some things away, and
- 17:23Speaker 1: apply it moving forward. They have a tough game coming
- 17:25Speaker 1: up against the Green Bay Packers, but I really when
- 17:30Speaker 1: the Eagles are playing like this, they're going to be
- 17:32Speaker 1: very difficult to beat.
- 17:33Speaker 4: Hey, I still like a good night out, but I'm
- 17:35Speaker 4: not always in the mood to drink. And that's why
- 17:38Speaker 4: I looked for a great alternative and I found one.

- 19:03Speaker 1: The officiating in this game, yeah, I mean it was
- 19:06Speaker 1: really questionable. That sixty eight yard er to Darius Slayton
- 19:10Speaker 1: probably should have been a touchdown. They called OPI. There
- 19:12Speaker 1: was certainly a fumble on the push play.
- 19:14Speaker 2: They didn't call that.
- 19:15Speaker 1: The UCHE player, he definitely forced the fumble there, they
- 19:18Speaker 1: didn't call that. Even going back to the first play
- 19:20Speaker 1: of the game, that was they called a penalty on
- 19:23Speaker 1: Smile Mandan and then they called that one. They took
- 19:26Speaker 1: that penalty away. So just really questionable officiating across the board.
- 19:30Speaker 1: And I've never been that guy. So I mentioned the
- 19:33Speaker 1: red zone. The red zone performance from the Eagles that
- 19:36Speaker 1: was effective, but it wasn't that good of a day
- 19:39Speaker 1: for the offense. On third down they were two for
- 19:42Speaker 1: seven in their third down opportunities, two for two and
- 19:45Speaker 1: fourth down opportunities. Then defensively, the Eagles held the Giants
- 19:48Speaker 1: to fifteen of twelve on third down. They were super physical,
- 19:52Speaker 1: they were flying around the field and making plays all
- 19:56Speaker 1: over and that was that's a testament to them becoming
- 19:59Speaker 1: more comfortable. There's a lot of young players there. Drew
- 20:02Speaker 1: mccouba Kiely Ringo. I think Kiely Ringo deserves a lot
- 20:05Speaker 1: of credit for the performance that he had when he
- 20:08Speaker 1: was going into it with a big target on his
- 20:10Speaker 1: back based on the previous matchup. And when you take
- 20:14Speaker 1: all of that into consideration, this is a team that
- 20:16Speaker 1: appears to be a force to be reckoned with.
- 20:18Speaker 2: And I think that a lot of.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Folks out there that were a little bit concerned or
- 20:22Speaker 1: had reservations can take solace in the fact that the
- 20:25Speaker 1: team looks to be turning the corner at.
- 20:27Speaker 2: The right time. That's going to do it.
