• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, buddy, this is great.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Not only great talking to you, but man, when the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles can put up two hundred and seventy total
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: rushing yards on any team in the NFL, I'm very
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: happy about it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have to limit me here because there's so
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: many themes there are, you know, so when you get
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to themes, we might want to say, like a cap
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: because I wrote a ton It was like you were
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: saying right before we hit record, Jev. It's like, you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I hope you're ready to go after this one. I'm like, well,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: this one is. This is as easy as it gets
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: for folks who do this kind of thing.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Exactly, exactly, obviously, though, obviously, the first and most prevalent
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: theme of this week seven Philadelphia Eagles game against the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Giants was not only the rushing attack, but Saquon Barkley
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: just going absolutely crazy on the ground seventeen yards for
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy seventeen carries for one hundred and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: seventy six yards ten point four yards per carry. He
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: is consistently breaking off long, long rushes. He had a touchdown,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: His long was fifty five yards, and it was just
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: great to see in the second quarter that over fifty
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: yard bolt that he had followed it up with three
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown run against his former team. And I think
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: what's interesting about Saquon Barkley here, Matt is the fact
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that he's had rushes of fifty five plus yards in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: three of his last four games. So a little bit
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of context. If you take a look at last season
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, no NFL running back had more than three
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: rushes of fifty five plus yards. During the entire twenty
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: twenty three season, Saquon Barkley is here on this Eagles table.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It is he's making a difference. They signed him to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: that big contract, and some of us, even myself and included,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: were like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe this happened.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Can't believe how he wanted to go in this direction, folks.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: This is the reason why we're seeing the results here
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: in games like this. I thought this was going to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: be a closer game. I really did. Thought the Eagles
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: would pull it out. Thought there was a possibility they
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: could potentially lose this game because this Giants defense has
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: been so good. But the Eagles dominated even on defense
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: as well, which we're gonna get to. But Saquon Barkley
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the top theme I think coming out of this particular
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: matchup here Matt and just how he dominated his old
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: team and really really shoved it right up their ass.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, it was really nice to see.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I want to get back to Saquon. I'm sure we'll
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: get back to Saquon. And I have a thought larger,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: kind of global point about the running back position later,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: but I wanted to give a quick shout out while
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: my son comes in to shout out.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: The Eagles defense as well.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yes that I have absolutely killed these guys on multiple occasions. Yes, today,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: after the first quarter, they gave up thirty three total
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: yards in the first half, seventy six third quarter, one
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: hundred and four. The Giant New York Giants football team
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: today professional football team gained one hundred and seventeen yards today.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: That's so that's it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I don't care if you're playing Pop Warner. One hundred
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and seventeen yards and so that's you know, I, you
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: know I definitely if you listened to the last week's
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: postgame show, I did not give them much credit because
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I do think Deshaun Watson sucks and something happened today
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and people will have thoughts about that, but I I
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: have to say, two weeks in a row completely dominating guys,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: and what seven sacks today?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Eighty seven eight sacks.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Eight Alex Hunt in the house, baby, Bryce huff Ex yes.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Bryce hoff with his best game of the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: season so far. And we got to say, because we've
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: been killing Bryce Off. Everybody's been killing Bryce Off, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: with good reason. But the fact of the matter is,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and by the way, Nolan Smith, he ended up getting
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the start at outside linebacker over Bryce Huff to start
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: this game here. Bryce Huff did not play a terrible game.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: He was getting multiple pressures, multiple pressures.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: On Daniel Jones.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And look, folks, I understand Andrew Thomas not being there
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was huge for the offensive line with the New York Giants.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It was huge for Daniel Jones as well. But still,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know you're playing professional sports here, you're playing a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: professional football team. Absolutely, you do have to adapt. The
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Eagles didn't have Jordan Malatta. They did adapt Fred Johnson
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: looking terrible.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: What are we talking about, yes, Mkai, Beckton Johnson. Yes,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: but if you're not one of us, folks, like even
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: people who love your show, Jeff, like they're still like
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Fred who, Yes, wait, not Lane.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Lane didn't play left tackle to day, Jeff, No.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: It was Fred. It was Fred who. Did you know?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He had some hiccups, but he also had some nice
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: plays too. Mkai Beckten going out forgot to mention the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: injuries right off the bat, McKai Beckton going out, Tyler
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Steen coming in for him. So it's not like the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Eagles offensive line was, you know, on all cylinders here,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Matt and.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Fred got put in the lazy boy a couple of.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Times he did not, Yes, he did.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: I love that the phrase. That's the first time I
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: ever heard that. That's great in terms of the football context.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: But really the Eagles defense, Yes, Eagles defense coming up
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: with eight sacks. Got to give credit to Kobe Dean
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: for two of those, Jalen Carter with two of those sacks,
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Nolan Smith with a sack, Bryce Huff with a sack.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: You've got Josh Sweat, and Jylex Hunt as Matt mentioned,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: both of those gentlemen with his sack as well. Nakobe
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: Dean man.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: At the top of this Eagles defensive depth tracks. Yes,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: two sacks, two tackles for lost. Here he four quarterback
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hits by the way, in eleven total tackles.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Nikobe Dean came to play today.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Hell yeah, uh? And Quenjon Mitchell.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I mean Quyon Mitchell if he gets If Quanjon Mitchell
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: gets himself two three four picks here this season.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: He's a pro bowler.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, Quanyon Mitchell is abs absolutely just strapping guys up.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: And I've seen these Giants wide receivers make plays. Where
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: was Wandale Robinson today? Yeah, exact Lyndale Robinson has made
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: plays this season. And you got to give some credit
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: to the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, and I've killed him,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: You've killed them this season. But yes, today and in
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the Saints game, they showed up to play. And these
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: are bad teams, but a lot of times who you're
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: playing in the NFL.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, yes, absolutely. You mentioned Wondale Robinson. He had
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: nine targets today. He was the most targeted New York
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Giants wide receiver. Nine targets, came down with six balls
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: for twenty three yards three point eight yards per reception.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: That's saying something about this Eagles secondary who we're going
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to be grading toward the end of this show. We're
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: certainly going to get to that. But what are some
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: other themes here, Matt that you specifically wanted to get
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: into anything with regard to maybe the start of the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: game or anything else.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: The start of the game, Let's where do I go
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: first downs. First downs was a big thing, big theme
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: of our conversation today. We continue to, you know, outside
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of these splash plays, which are always exciting, and it's
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: always kind of weird to say, oh yeah, without a
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: fifty five yard run from Saquon, you know, this would
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: be a close game, but it is.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: It does feel like that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: It's like between the twenties, the Eagles don't have much trouble.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: It's you know, it's punching it in. Today they really
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: made it happen. I really love that they they just
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: said screw it, just like they did at a certain point.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: They have a game game plan, and at a certain
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: point they're just like, hey, you guys can't stop you know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: a toddler from getting five yards of carry.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so so.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: They just hammered them. I love that the Eagles just
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: stuck to it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yep, right, yeah, absolutely, Look, we have to be honest.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: It was another terrible start in the first quarter. Continuous
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: slow starts to these Eagles games. Even after seven weeks here,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it's consistent week after week, nothing has changed. The Eagles
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: first seven plays against the Giants resulted in a total
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of eight yards. I mean that's including Jalen Hurts getting
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: sacked in the negative yardage From that, the Eagles have
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: still not scored a point in the first quarter throughout
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: this entire season. It's astonishing to me these slow starts.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And I understand what Nick Sirianni is saying his press
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: conferences past week. We know what we make those adjustments,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you know, we figure things out. How about we try
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to come out of the gate on fire, Nick, That's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: what I would really like to see. And I think
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it was maybe the culmination of the storyline two Matt
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of Saquon Barkley, kind of bringing it back to Saquon,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: bringing it back to the rushing attack. Maybe it was
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the storyline that really led things this week, because the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: more and more I am looking at this Eagles offense,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: it seems as though they really have become a run
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: first offense that can also just rip off explosive plays
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: at any moment. I texted you this, and they really
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: do rely heavily on that. In fact, they lead the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: league in those type of explosive plays. But they're just
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: not a consistent offense when they are a pass first
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: type of offense. I don't know how much of a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: problem that could be for the future. But when you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: have Saquon Barkley able to do what he did today,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and I know he's not going to put up one
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six yards every single game.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I know that, folks.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: But I think we're seeing the Eagles offense really getting
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to the point where we know kind of they're a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: run first offense.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: It's either what they.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Want to be or what they need to be at
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: this point in time. That's a big theme that I had.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if you had any thoughts on this.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know if you. I don't know
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: if any of your listeners are runners. Like to I
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: like to try to stay in shape. It's a good
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: thing that when I'm at my best, I am consistently
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and regularly you know, doing it. And so I would say,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, are you somebody who runs a ten
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: k maybe once a week or once every two weeks.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Are you somebody who, no matter what, you're gonna get
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: out there and you're gonna run a mile, You're gonna
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: run two miles, you're earning three miles. That's what consistently
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: running the ball does, YEH say, Kwon even on a
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: bad game. If I talked to Jeff about this all
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: the time, If if we give him twenty five carries,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: there's no way twenty five touches. It can be through
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the air or on the ground. He's gonna give us
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: one hundred yards. He's not a guy who is gonna,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: you know, over the course of twenty five touches, end
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: up with forty six yards. That's just not who this
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: guy is. Yeah, he's going one of these are going
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: to pop right, especially today.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Exactly, especially with regard to this storyline of him going
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: back to New York. It was interesting, you know, he
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: saw Jason Kelsey's tweet. I know you're not too much
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: on Twitter, you're more on threads, and.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I missed the tweet. What did he say? What they say?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So Jason Kelcey actually came out and said, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why the New York Giants fan base
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is booing Saquon Barkley this bad It was the Giants
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: management in front office and organization.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: If they wanted him back, would have had him back.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: It was not Saquon Barkley, yes, saying that you know
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I need add a here, I want ata here. We
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: are those of us that watched Hard Knocks during the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: off season, we saw that Saquon Barkley wanted to essentially
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: be back with New York.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: If they would take him, and they didn't want.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Not only a factual statement, irrefutable effects, actual statement.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, and you got the boo birds coming out for Saquon. Look,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I understand, And Jason Kelsey also said, look, I understand.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: The Giants don't like the Eagles, Eagles don't like the Giants,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: vice versa. It's a you know, it's the divisional thing.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: But when it comes to him, there is no reason
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: why the Giants fan base should be booing Saquon Barkley.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: It was not necessarily his. It wasn't his decision at
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: all to leave New York.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: They pushed him.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: It was up to Saquon. If it was up to Saquon,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: he'd still be held. Have been on the other team
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: that gets spanked.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Today, Yes, we would have been, Yes, exactly.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: He might have also been on the other side of
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a spanking because that that happened quite a bit.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: It did, it did well.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I gotta say, it's a great feeling knowing that this
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: team is four and two here at this point you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: know last week, Matt, when you were on the show
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: after that Cleveland Browns game, you know that it was
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: even though they won, it was a tough type of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: win for this team.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: He feels like a win this week.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: It does feel like a win this week.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, interesting though, how the wide receivers really weren't as involved.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Aj Brown, with the most targets on the day with five,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: came down with all five balls for eighty nine yards
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: seventeen point eight yards per reception and that amazing touchdown
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in the second quarter that we saw. But I gotta
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: tell you, I was none too happy the fact that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: DeVante smith Man, our boy Smitty, was only targeted twice.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He had one reception for negative two yards. I have
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: him on a couple fantasy teams. Did not do well
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: for me today.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: No, it didn't.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: He'll be back next week though.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Smitty for a buck fifty next week.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we talked about the defense. We talked about where
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: this offense we think is probably trending here. Do you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: have anything else you want to dive into, Buddy, in
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: terms of themes from this game.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Jalen hurts, I think you spoke to it a second ago.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: With the receivers, it's just it's it's it's a tough
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: game flow because it happens in sports. It'll happen to
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Saquan at some point, somebody will jump on the Eagles
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: and at a certain point, it's just gonna be hard
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: to get Saquon the kind of rushing numbers. It's one
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: of the reverse kind of things happened into the wide
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: receivers today, where hey, these guys can't do anything with us.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: It's it's like, you know, if you have a big
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: man who's just complete, he's got a he's got a
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: he's seven to two, he's shack, he's got a six foot four,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: he's got like a guy who shouldn't be guarding him.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry the guard. You're great, Kobe, tonight's not your night.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: You're gonna drop twenty.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I think that's what it is. With what happened to
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Devonte and AJ today. I think the game flow will
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: work the other direction. Sometimes it'll all average out. They're
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: all fantastic players. A J. Brown Monster, Saquon Bank, Barkley Monster.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I mean those are those are you know? And I
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: love Jalen Hurts. But those are the two best players
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: on the football team.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, Look, there were forty five rushes in this game.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Jaellen Hurts through the ball fourteen times for fourteen Yes,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: we haven't seen too many games like this, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in terms of the game flow that you were just
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: But nineteen twenty four.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: It's nineteen twenty four, folks, you're listening to the Philadelphia
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Sports Table podcast.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Going back to the old times.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Here, you are going back to the old times where
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you smoked lucky struts.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: They were wearing leather helmets.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, but you and I were exchanging some texts about
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts though, and I was getting concerned once again
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter, Yes, about inability to see the field.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: He's not thrown really over the middle of the field.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: He did get one to Kenny Gainwell, who by the way,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: rushed for thirteen yards fifty six yards. Got to mention
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that four point three yards per right, But with regard
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to Jalen Hurts, we're still kind of seeing the same
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: stuff where he's thrown to the outside constantly, not really
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: much over the middle, and he is missing guys too.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Quite frankly, folks. Yeahon Barkley should have had a rushing
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: touch or I should have had a receiving touchdown.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: It should have happened.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: It looked like he was looking really could have been
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: perfect today. He could have been fourteen for fourteen. Yes,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: in the nineteen twenty four Eagles versus Giants football matchup.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Today absolutely been fourteen for fourteen if he just hit
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: the check He missed SMITTI on one, and he missed
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: he missed Saquan on multiple occasions, including for a touchdown
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: two to I think there was one where he was
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: going to the TV on the right where Saquon could
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: have caught it on a wheel route and he missed
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: him going the other direction on a wheel route. That's two,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: and then miss Smitty. I don't know what the other
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: miss was. But he could have been perfect today, I mean,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: is challenging. He I was texting with another one of
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: our friends, Jeff oj Spiety from the Philadelphia Tribune, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I was telling him this, it's a good problem to have,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I believe. I think it's you know, well, obviously he's
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: got to hit the checkdown, so we always wanted him
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: to hit the checkdowns. I think the point is. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: think it's AJ Brown is just so damn good. It's
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: just hard to it's hard to be like because he's
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: he's unguardable, He's I mean, it's so it's like, ah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: like this play could be it's it's a touchdown. You
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: gotta kind of fight yourself in that position, right, He always.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Wants to look at it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: AJ is always going to get a look on every
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: drop back. Yeah.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I feel like if you were getting that all twenty
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: two and you're watching and you were inside Jalen's helmet,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: he's one hundred percent checking for AJ.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that's what it is.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I hope he continues to work on, you know, just
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: really seeing the field a lot more. I mean, it
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: didn't necessarily need that in this game, but you want
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a quarterback who is going to be or is slated
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: as one of the better NFC quarterbacks in this league
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and to take their team to the next level.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: You want him to be able to see the whole field.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: And I think, well, yeah, start to see that at
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: some point.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, in a game that's closer, Yeah, he will
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: need to hit the check down.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: If you're gonna play Tomato cans every week, then maybe
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: he does.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: It right exactly.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: The Giants and they knocked him over. You have to
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: knock over the tomato cans and the.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Eagle are Philadelphia.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't know either one of us.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: We talked about the scores we thought today even I
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: don't know how in the realm of possibility we either
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: one of us would have thought twenty eight three was
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: exactly and some Drew.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Locke time, Drew Lock Kittie pick a time.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: The white flag was raised folks by the New York
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Giants in the fourth quarter, for sure. But I gotta
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: say the Eagles dominated, as we know, in terms of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: time of possession thirty five minutes and twenty seconds to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the Giants twenty four minutes and forty seconds.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Overall, the Eagles had.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Three hundred and thirty nine total yards of offense to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the New York Giants. It was actually one hundred and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: nineteen total one hundred and nineteen total on the day.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: In terms of the yards per play, Eagles five point
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: two yards per play to the Giants two point two
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: yards per play. Absolutely pitiful. I will say this, and
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I know some of these third downs came on during
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the garbage time when Kenny Pickett came in. But Matt,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: before we go to break, I just wanted to mention
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: third down efficiency in this game. The Eagles were one
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: of thirteen.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I don't like that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I know it's a stat and I know Kenny Pickett
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: had some of those third down inefficiencies, I should say,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: but one of thirteen on third down I do not
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: like that at all.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: What on the other end, so that that is worried
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: some that is never going to be That's something that
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: even you know in a win, you have to address that.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: That's something that's very concerning.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: YEA.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: On the positive end of that, there were a bunch
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: of Hey, it's first and ten and we're gonna pick
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: up fifteen to AJ Brown today. Yeah, we're a bunch
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: of those were awesome. Those were just like, yep, screw
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: you guys, We're going to AJ Brown. It's the first
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: play of the drive, our best players getting the ball.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: You can't do a damn thing about it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely sound, Yep, absolutely buddy.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Do you have any other themes before we go to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a break real quick and before we get to the grades.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Uh? No, I think I think we wore them.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Out covered it. Yeah, we covered everything. So all right, folks,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break, pay some bills. We
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: will be back in just a bit. All right, we
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: are back, and let's get into the grades. We're gonna
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: start with the quarterback, Jalen Hurts. His stat line was
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: pretty like like we said earlier before we went to
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the break here, stat line kind of kind of bizarre.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Ten to fourteen, one hundred and fourteen yards, eight point
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: one yards per attempt, one touchdown he did a four
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: sacks for and that was thirty six yards.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Actually that this.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Two rushing touchdowns, Yes, two rushing touchdowns. He had twenty
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: two yards rushing on the day. But I don't think
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: one designed rush at all, not one design rush that
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I saw it tonight.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Other than the push. Yeah, the pushes it is, I
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: guess non push, yes.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Design right now.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: No, No, I am gonna give just because of what
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: we saw during the fourth quarter or fourth quarter, in
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the first quarter, in the inconsistencies and some of the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: misses throughout the game, which we were talking about before,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: goes back to last week. You know, we were talking
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: about sometimes somebody's stat line may look really good, but
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: there are some issues behind those stats. So that's why
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Jalen Hurts this week of B plus.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a B plus. I think an
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: A minus, but B plus. I just need him to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: see the field a little bit more, need him to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: be able to really get get the ball into the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: middle of the field sometimes as well.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: So I'm giving him a B plus. What what do
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you give him?
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Matt?
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I think about the same, and I'm in the B.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I'm a little a little more down on the performance
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't like some of these, just just misses because
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I feel like those you know, you can throw it
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: in the flat for four and then they take it
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: forty four, and so some of those you're gonna need
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: some of those, like give me kind of things.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: It's like again running analogy.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: It's like, look, folks, sometimes you're gassed, and that that
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: downhill just hits right on the right time, and I'm
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: gonna go downhill and I gotta, hey, let me steal
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: a quick quarter mile here. And so that's what some
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: of those are. And so he missed some of those
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: against the Bengals. Can't miss those, so right, I'm.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Gonna give him. I'll give him a bee.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's that's from a true Jalen Hurts fan. But
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I think I think he would say he has to
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: be better.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, all right, Let's move to the running back position again.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley seventeen carries, one hundred and seventy six yards
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. Can he gain well, thirteen carries, fifty six yards,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: four point three yards per rush and overall again two
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine total rushing yards on the day,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: six yards per carry from this Eagles team. A plus
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: all around. I don't know what else anybody needs A plus.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, all week the game plan was, they were
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: hitting the waits extra hard. They were working on their
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: one fits the day and no matter what, and you
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: could tell in the game plan. And when I was
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: talking to Chris Franklin before the game, I was like,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: that's what they're gonna do.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: They have to do this.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: They have to Mara and this organization has to justify
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: that Sakwan Barkley is just some guy. And so even
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: if even at the risk of taking a loss to
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: the Eagles today, which I would have figured would have
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: been a close loss, they were gonna not let Saquon
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: did do what he did today with backup offensive linemen
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: just completely kicked in their damn teeth. A plus yeah, absolutely,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: one hundred, not only ninety nine A plus one hundred, yes,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: one hundred absolutely.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: The receiving on the day, as we mentioned earlier, like
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the receivers just weren't as much part of this game
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: plan today. J Brown when his number was called, he
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: did everything he needed to do. And you know, yeah,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, believe it or not, was the second most
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: targeted quote receiver on the team with three receptions. He
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: came down with two balls for eleven yards. Like, the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: receivers were just not utilized in this game as we
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: have seen throughout you know, much of Jalen Hurts his
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: career as the Eagles quarterbacks. So, I mean, the receivers
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: kind of did what they needed to do kind of,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: but I'll still I'll give him a B plus.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: I guess you know that's I think That's that's what
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I'm going with. Okay, That's what I'm going with as well.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I was like when the when their numbers were called.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: A J.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Brown was just like, hey, Okay, who's guarded me?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Six guys are guarding me. Okay, I'll get the first
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: down for you because I'm back route out. Do you
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: want me to tell the guy or should I not
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: tell the guy? Went route I'm running?
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, exactly?
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: You want me to tell this guy, I'm doing a
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: go route.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, We're gonna get a touchdown out of this one.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I mean they cannot guard him. I mean, and I
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: don't really know on when aj Brown is healthy. You
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: don't have a great argument that he's not potentially the
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: best wide receiver of football.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he's just unguardable.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: And so when the number was called, I do wish
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: that DeVante got more opportunities. Johan Dotson, he was out
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: there eighty three, got some snaps, but yeah, I don't
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: think he got any targets.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I think he got one.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: There was one target for Johan Dotson he actually had.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: There was decent coverage. I think that is the play
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you were talking about with Jalen Hurts, where you're like
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: there was one other incompletion. It was the John Dotson one,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I think where all the way he threw it out
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of bound and he was openes Okay, yes, that's the one.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That's the one, all right. Well let's move to the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: offensive line. Look, there were some inconsistencies here and there.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants actually got five sacks total on
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the day, seven quarterback hits. There were eight tackles for
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a loss. The offensive line hurts out there without having
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Jordan my Latta for sure, and Makai Becton going down
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: certainly didn't help at all either. But they stuck together,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I think, as best they could given the circumstances and
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the situations. The run blocking at times was absolutely phenomenal.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it wasn't all that great, but Saquon makes what
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: he will out of really great blocking schemes, and he
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: certainly did that today when there was one in front
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: of him. So I'm gonna give the offensive line today.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna give him a C plus on the day. Wow, Yeah,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: it's I think. I think I think we saw Saquon
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: juking and cutting on a dime more than we actually
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: saw necessarily the offensive line providing the opportunities for him,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: even though they did. Even though they did, and maybe
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I'm being a little harsh, maybe it could be around
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: a B minus as well, but I'm around that B
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: minus C plus for the Eagles offensive line this week.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: What are you? What are you thinking?
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: And sorry, I my son was eating something he wasn't
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: supposed to that wasn't so good.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: That's all good, very cute kid, Thank you.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: So I'll give it. I'll give them a bea uh
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: let me let me go bet plus because honestly, I
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: think the past blocking, I would say the past blocking
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: was a CE today. But you come out in a
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: division rival, you're playing against, you know, one of the
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: best defensive tackles in the league, and you just completely
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: just bowl them over.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just take their lunch money. You gotta give them.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I gotta give them some credit for that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: So I'll give them a B plus on their test today, Okay,
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: especially with some backups.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: You know, they got a bum, ankle or whatever the
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: case may be.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I'm probably I'm probably being harsh. I'll do B minus here.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I'll fred Fred was Fred was on the recliner. It's
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: another way of saying he.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Was on a lazy boy recliner every now and then,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: every now and again, all right, And.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: I'm doing the simulation for those because only Jeff can
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: see it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Because because it's just the audio, but you know.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Laying the sitting back, relaxing.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Forcibly sitting back and relaxing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, Fred, we love you, buddy, we love you.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, great performance over all today.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, let's move to the defensive sided things. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I gotta say it's the best best defensive line effort
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that we have seen thus far during this season. I'm
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: gonna give this defensive line in a minus this year.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna er this year this game a minus. It
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: could even be like an A and maybe that's just
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got the numbers to prove it here.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Eight sacks, eleven quarterback hits. I mean it's an A.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: It's an A for me for the defensive line.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: What do you give them?
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get too high on it, but
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, eight sacks in the NFL, I gotta give
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: him a plus.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: It's a.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: That's twelfth, right. It's not all Andrew Thomas being out.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: That was certainly part of it, but not all of
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: it was. I mean, they were these guys were getting there. There
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: were some nice stunts that Vic Fangio had them doing,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: some nice blitzes and pressures.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I was like holy cow, where's this been?
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: And guys, I mean, how many times on this podcast.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe somebody who's a big fan, we'll go back and listen,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: tell us how many times we said the name Fred
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Johnson this podcast, including in this last minute. So you
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: guys have two pass rushers who I truly think are
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: actually better than.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: The guys the Eagles have.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Andell's take.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: That out of your mouth.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Sorry, all good, And you're absolutely right they do. They
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: have two better pass rushers I think than the Eagles
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: do on their line. Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns are fantastic. Yes,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Lari is playing over.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: If you take out today's games, Sweaty and huff have
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: not even participated.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, exactly. Well, what grade do you give them?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I'm giving them an A? What do you give them them?
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: An A plus? An A plus?
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Because you came out in an NFL football game to
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: put the quarterback actually while he was still holding the football,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: even though he's not a good quarterback and probably was
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: holding the football too long. So it was ours and
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: we got chir quarterback on the ground eight times.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Yep, all right, linebackers this week, Nakobe Dean Zach Bond
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: having a very very nice games. You like to see
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: them up on top of the Eagles defense depth chart.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Zach Bond with six tackles total on the day. As
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, Nikcobe Dean with eleven total tackles, two sacks,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: four quarterback hits. I'm giving the linebackers and a plus
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: this week. You can't ask, but they were all over
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the place too. The pursuit of the ball was great.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I've definitely give him a definitely given him an A plus.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Nikobe Dean with two sacks. I did not see our guy,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Zach Bonn. How many tackles did he finish with?
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: It's six.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Definitely give him an A plus. Yeah, yeah, because I
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: don't feel like I don't I never. I guess I'm
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: used to seeing Eagles linebackers getting run over cooked in coverage.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: So I'll give him an AG. Yeah, yeah, I'll give
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: him an A.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: The secondary, let's move to them as uh as as
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Matt's son is just all over the microphone. I'm just
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: kidding for Matt or Matt's like, oh my gosh, yes,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give the I'm going to give the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: cornerbacks and the secondary overall, even the safety play as well.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: This week, they didn't have to do too much.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones couldn't get the ball down the field, probably
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: because coverage was pretty darn good. I'm gonna give the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: secondary and A this week.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give him an A.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the sack that that sweat got was totally a
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: covered sack. I still want to give you credit number
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: nineteen forgetting the guy on the ground that was totally
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: covered sack. I think I think Daniel Jones held that
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: ball sitting in the pocket like a statue, turned to
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: the right a little bit. Yes, he was back there
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: for at least six or seven seconds. Yeah, that was
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: total covered sack. When Jon Mitchell's been better than advertised,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Slaves played well, even though he was definitely holding on
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: guys for quite a while early in the game. Especially
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Cooper Degene playing really well whenever he's on the ground
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: on the field, including on a punt return, which I'm
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: sure we'll mention really quick at some point. I really
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: like what I saw from the DB's I'll give them
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: an A as well.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Today, all right.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I like it, and I liked what we saw on
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: special teams. Let's move to you know, coaching and move
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to these units here special teams. I'm gonna give him
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: a B plus today, could be an A minus Cooper
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Degene like you just mentioned just he was really giving
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the punt return aspect of this of this team. Fifteen
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: yards average today on three punt returns. That's fantastic in
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: this league.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: For one thing.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Cooper de Gene man, he's he's coming on. It is
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: his rookie season, learning the game. You can tell he's
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: still learning the game, but he's making difference and he's
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: making an impact specifically here on special teams.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Like we're grading.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give special teams in A this week, and
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of it is because of Cooper de gene.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Absolutely making plays, juking guys out, looking really good. Number
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: thirty three, great move getting him right there in the
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: second round.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: You have a A for him as well or A
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: for him special teams?
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Uh uh? I'll go with B plus.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Ok, I think you gave him a B plus as well, right,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: give an a gim an A gave hi an A.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I'll go with B plus. I need a touchdown, I
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: need close to a touchdown. I need a big one.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I need a forty. You can't get me with a
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: bunch of thirteens.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we gave him an F. Hut. Yeah, I know.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I think we gave him an F last week and
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, it was a significant
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: increase in terms of productivity, significant increase.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: We're not an a yet. Oh my and my book birds.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Michael Clay, if you're listening, I hope we're able to
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: find the punt returns touchdowns that are missing.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: You will be mighty leave rewarded. There you go by
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: the Eagles press.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am giving an aid to Vic Fangio and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the defensive coaching this week. I'm giving an A to them. Again,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: We've gone through everything here. It's probably the best defensive
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: defensive play that we've seen from this team after seven
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: weeks on the season. A for Vic Fangio, What do
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you give them?
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Absolutely in a absolutely in a. It's an NFL football
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: team holding a division rival at three points.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Absolutely great performance.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Offensive coaching, Nick Sirianni Kellen Moore actually gonna give him
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: a B plus because they knew they were going to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: run the ball, needed to run the ball, and they
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: got it done. They got it done with one, Saquon Barkley.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a B plus this week. What
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: do you give them?
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Give him a B plus? Yeah, we're missing. I can't
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: give you an A.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: You're one of the few people who weren't able to
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: get an A because you can't get any damn points
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: in the first quarter. Yes, some good football teams they're
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: gonna score on you in the first quarter.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, this is ridiculous.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: And in spite of an awesome game where you absolutely
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: dominated guys, they dominate dominated you in that you still
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: were not able to get off the schneid. We're about
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: to be at the damn NFL trade deadline and we
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: have it at a first quarter touchdown. It's ridiculous.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. It really is amazing. Well, buddy, that's gonna
• 35:07
