• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, the Eagles have suffered back-to-back losses, back-to-back blown leads.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: They've been outscored 46-3 in the second half. What do
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the Eagles got to do to get things back right?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Second-half adjustments. They've been the worst second-half team in the league.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: What do second-half adjustments look like? Because I think, to us,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you only get 15 minutes at halftime. So what do
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: those adjustments look like?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: What's working, what's not working. Simple. If it's not working,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: let's throw it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Eagles have been the biggest problem between coaching and players
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: in this league.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: In what way?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Like, coaches can't help themselves. Like, they get so full
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: of themselves. They're like, oh, man. Like, I just got
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to show I can displace. Like, how I can put
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a full.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Like, Tampa Bay versus Cowboys. There's no way I don't
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: take the three-position lead in the fourth quarter. I don't
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: care how good my team is. I'm taking the three possessions.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: How many times do we have to keep learning that?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: We learned that in Detroit, San Fran, and what, the
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: NFC Championship game?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. I don't understand it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: How many times are we going to learn from this, bro?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: It's not about the exclamation point. It's just about the period.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Hello. Like, hello. It's just about the period.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Like, bro, I don't need to keep fighting when we
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: could go up three possessions. Like, it's the ego of coaches.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: of just the mindset, like, let's just bury him. Sometimes
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: bury him is just doing the small things right.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Just do the little things. Just coaching the situations.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So what happened to this Eagles team? We're talking about
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: them in the second half. But what has gone wrong?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: First losing record since 2021.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I bet A.J. Brown is somewhere smiling right now. Man,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: is he?
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to say this, not smiling because it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: like a, oh, I'm happy the Eagles is doing bad.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: But smiling of like, I told y'all, we a good
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: football team, but we can't execute. Why can't we execute? Like,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: we had a whole fan base get mad at A.J.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Brown because he expected better. Like, I never saw something
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: like that. Like, a player expects better out of an
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: organization and they want to play better. They expect to
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: put better numbers out. And fans are mad because he
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: expects that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, but we're winning. Barely only gets by for so long.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And now we're seeing it. You can't just keep barely
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: winning when you're losing talent. Yeah. Because other teams are
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: talented too.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: They have the talent, Dre.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: They were just barely winning. They're escaping. Escaping.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Like, look at, like, it was a stat with the Chiefs.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It was like two years ago. They won every game.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: close game by one or two point margin. They won
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: like 10 games or something like that. You can correct
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: me if I'm wrong. I just know it's something like that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Last year, they lost every game by a close margin.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And this year, they're doing it again. So, I'm saying
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: that it's like, you can't, every year, you're not going
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to be able to just escape by. And especially when
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: you lose your right tackle. You trade away a future
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame wide receiver. The guy that you want
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to be number one is out with a hamstring. You're
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: starting running backs out with a hamstring. And my thing is, like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the thing that I don't like about Philly's system is.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: They don't have a workhorse.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And they don't want to make someone just a one workhorse.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: That's the ego within the players. Who should it be?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And the organization. Who should that workhorse be for the?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Just put it on his shoulders.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Put it on your shoulders. We're paying you $ 20 million
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: a year. Every other $ 20 million a year, players touching
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the ball 30 times a game. B.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: John. B. John's touching the 30. B. John, I'm sorry.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Whether it's 18 by hand, I'm getting another seven in
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the air. Same with Gibbs. They're workhorses. They open the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: game for everyone else.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: But they don't want to go under center and just
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: hand it off to Saquon.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Because guess what? Jalen Hurts, it got to be in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: my hands.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Ooh, that's... That's tough. I got to look out for
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: my boy. I think Jalen just wants to. If Jalen
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: didn't throw the ball at all, I think he'd be
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: good with handing the ball out 50 times if it led.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: To a win.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: But that's the thing. But they not shown that, though.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: If that's not working. Do something else. Like, I think
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it was a stat.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Like, Saquon, he had 15 carries, 86 yards. He's averaging
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: on the league before the injury about five yards a carry.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Why isn't he touching the ball?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Coaching malpractice.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: That's ego. Get him to rock. Come on, man.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: That's what's wrong with the league. Everybody feel like they
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: got to eat. Sometimes just being a role player and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: getting paid off someone else is still a good job.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: As long as there's food on the table, we good.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: As long as there's food on the table, you feel me?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Everybody's meant to go to the Hall of Fame. That's
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the problem. I'm telling you, it's egos.
