  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome into another edition of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the czech Odaily.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: It's Andrew check O, Eagles beat reporter for insidethebirds dot
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Com and the Eagles, resting several key starters, were unable
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: to beat the Washington Commanders at home and they fall
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to those Commanders by a score of twenty four to seventeen,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and a game in which they would have received help
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: from the Detroit.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Lions, who did beat the Chicago Bears.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: So if the Eagles were to have pulled this off
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and won the game, they would have had the number
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: two seed and had some home games here at Lincoln
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Financial Field. But as it were, the Eagles will now
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: be the three seed and they will face these San
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers. We just have to figure out
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: what day that'll be. That'll be determined later on. But
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the Eagles were unable to get it done Sunday afternoon.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: And you look at quarterback two McKee. He completed twenty
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: one to thirty seven passes for two forty one to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: touchdown an interception. Running Back Tank Bigsby rushed for seventy
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: five yards and a touchdown on sixteen carries. Wide receiver
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Devonte Smith started the contest, he needed forty four yards
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to reach a thousand, and he finished with fifty two.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: He said his teammates after that, when he got to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the sideline said get the hell out, like get out
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of the game, and he did not go back in
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to stay. And defensively, linebackers Joha Campbell and Jeremiah Trotter
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Junior racked up double digit tackles in this one. I
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: told you Trotter Junior was destined for double digit tackles
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: in this game. And he was somebody who was reading
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and diagnosing and tacking.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Downhill and always seemed to find the ball carrier.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Plays with a lot of energy, a lot of jews,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and I thought he did some good things. Inactive for
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the Eagles were linebacker Na Kobe Dean, safety Marcus EPs,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: outside linebacker Jalen Phillips, right tackle Lane Johnson, left guard
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Landon Dickerson, tight end Dallas Goddard, and defensive tackle Jaylen Carr.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: There were obviously several starters who did dress but didn't play,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and as I mentioned on Saturday, the Eagles elevating long
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: snapper Charlie Hewlett, a defensive back Brandon Johnson from the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: practice squad. Johnson was needed as an extra safety, especially
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: once Marcus EPs was ruled out with a concussion.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Let's get to some of my observations here.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: The Eagles opted to start Devontae Smith, which I talked about,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and Smith gets fifty two yards on the day. I
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: think the best throw for Tanner McKee today happened to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: be the twenty seven yarder that got Devonte Smith over
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the one thousand yard mark. It was between defenders and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Smith had to climb the ladder to get them football.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a nice play on his part
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to go up there and get it. Probably Tanner McKee's
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: best throw of the day. I did not think that
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Tanner McKee had an overly productive day. A lot of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that has in the context that needs to be attack right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was playing behind an offensive line that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: had players like Drew Kendall and Cam Williams who hadn't
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: played any snaps on the offensive line all season. Cam
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Williams was playing this first NFL game, and so when
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you're a young quarterback who's inexperience, I should say, and
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you're playing behind an offensive line that has some really
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: green pieces. Yeah, I mean those things are gonna happen.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna be able to sit back there, survey,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: stand and deliver without being under siege. And there were
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of times where Tanner McKee, who is not
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: fleet footed, had to sort of navigate the pocket and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: he just doesn't have that quickness to be able to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: do those second reaction throws or even escape pressure. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: there are plays that Jalen Hurst probably gets out of.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: But nevertheless, there were some good throws that Tanner McKee had.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: He had some misses.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He had the interception, and that was an egregious throw
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: because Kyln grants and the tight end was open. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of throws that he had, especially
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: earlier in the game, that I thought.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Were on the money.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: They were put in a position where receivers could run
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: after the catch and he got rid of the football quickly.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: First pass of the day went to DeVante Smith, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: then they got DeVante the ball as quickly as they
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: as many times as they could to get him out
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of the game. And then there are other players who
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: serve prominent role.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: On the Eagles and they have to they had to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: play in this game.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Now that's not ideal, but that's the nature of it
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: when you have fifty three man fifty.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Three players on the roster.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So the Eagles started Tyler Steen at right guard in
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: this game, and he was the other offensive starter whom
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the team elected to play. And then the starting offensive
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: line from left to right left tackle Fred Johnson, left guard,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Bret toat center, Drew Kendall, right guard, Tyler Steen, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: right tackle Matt Pryor. Defensively, the Eagles started outside linebackers.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Nolan Smith and Jay loixs.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Hunt, Campbell, and Trotter were the starters at all bought linebacker.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Their secondary was initially comprised of cornerbacks Jakran Bett a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Keeley Ringo, with Sidney Brown and Brandon Johnson getting the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: start at safety. Brandon Johnson got hurt early in that game.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: He picked up a tackle on the drive and it
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: looked like there was a play that was tipped and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: he was gonna have the interception, but his ankle got rolled.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: He left the game needed assistance getting off, was in
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the medical tent and then he was listed as question
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: more in return.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Did not come back into the game, and I.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Saw him after the game leaving the training room when
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: we were in the locker room being assisted by Matt
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and Leo, and he was struggling to put any weight
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: on it. I went over to him at his locker
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to just to see how he was doing. And he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: gonna be getting an MRI tomorrow, which is Monday, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: so we'll see what the extent of that is.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But not great.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And then that forced the Eagles to put Michael Carter
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: at safety opposite Sidney Brown because they weren't going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: put re Blankenship in that game. And then it put
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Mac McWilliams, the rookie corner of course, who you're all
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: familiar with if you listen to my podcast. They put
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: him at the nickel role and he saw his largest
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: snap share.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Of his young career.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: But for Michael Carter, I caught up with him after
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the game and he said that that was the most
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: snaps he's played at safety since he was in college.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So he went to Duke University and I a said,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: how do you feeling he goes sore. You know, he's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: primarily a nickel defender and that's where his focus usually is.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And so he said that he had to really rely
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: on Sidney Brown, who he said was especially instrumental in
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: just helping him out there on the back end and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: with the assignments and everything like that. So Michael Carter
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: played a ton of snaps there at safety, coming on
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: in relief for ninjur Brandon Johnson. The Eagles also lost
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: late in the game Brett Toafe due to a concussion.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: He was being evaluated for concussion and did not return
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to the game. And Grant Calcatara on a reception suffered
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a nasty tackle.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It was an awkward.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Tackle and he had a ankle knee injury is what
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: they were determined determining it to be.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So there were some injuries in this game.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And then when Brent Toath left the game, it forced
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Tyler Stein back into the game at right guard. They
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: moved Matt Prior to left guard, and that's sort of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the way they had to fix that, and Matt Pryor
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: started the game at right tackle. He went in at
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: right guard when they took Tyler Stein out and they
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: brought Cameron Williams on, and then he played left guard
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: late in the game, so he played.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Three positions in this game.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I thought that was really interesting when I went back
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and thought about it. But a lot of moving parts
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in this game. I thought the Eagles cornerbacks Jacoryan Bennett,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Keeley Ringo in particular struggled in this one. There was
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a play where Josh Johnson ran it in late in
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the game and Ringo he looks right at him and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: then he continues to turn his back to him and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: get back to his receiver and coverage rather than come
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: up and make the tackle.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Interesting play there.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He got called for a penalty in that one, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I just thought that he struggled overall, you know, with
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the match carry deliver in this game, and he's been
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: prone to penalties when he's been out there. Jacorey and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Bennett I think had three penalties in this game. Two
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: in the end zone. Seemed to be a bit grabby.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: He was panicking. He was panicking a little bit when
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the ball was in the air rather than trusting his technique.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And you saw right there what I've been trying to
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: get across this season and why a Dori Jackson has
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: been sort of a revelation, why he shouldn't be taken
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: for granted, because there's a reason why Ringo and Bennett
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: haven't been playing or can't even factor in situationally and
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: why they reverted back to Kiley, reverted back to Adri
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Jackson because Vic Fangio saw something and the other two
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: players in practice that suggested that they couldn't handle a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: full time role. And so that's why you shouldn't take
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Adri Jackson for granted.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: However you may.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Feel about him, I think you have you see why
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Vic Fangio has stuck with him. But in this game,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a really really tough go of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: it for Keithley Ringo and jacoryan Vennett. I thought for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a while there Tanner McKee was poised and composed under pressure,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: and his throws were they had touch and anticipation to them.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: But I think his ability to get the ball in
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the receiver to his receivers in a position where they
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: can pick up yards after the catch is what really
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: stood out. There was that interception that his uh, the
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Jylex Hunt picked up an interception in this game, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: it gifted the Eagles favorable field position with under two
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: minutes until the break, and then mc keith tossed a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: bad interception to end the drive. But I thought, by
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and large, you know he was he answered the bell
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and it's curious that the Eagles would have him drop
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: back thirty seven or forty times, whatever it was in
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a game like this. We were playing with a lot
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: of reserve offensive lineman and Tank Bigsby was running the
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: football as well as he was seventy five yards on
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: sixteen carries. I'm going to get to Tank Bigsby right now, actually,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: because he is such a fun player to watch. In
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: addition to that power and acceleration that he runs with,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: he also showcased some nice wiggle on that thirty one
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: yard catch and run. Whatever reason led to the Jacksonville
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Jaguars willingness to part with Bigsby, the bottom.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Line here is that the Eagles got to steal.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I envisioned the third year running back coming out with
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the key play in the postseason, and he runs like
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: his life depends on it, if that makes sense. He
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: runs with urgency, he doesn't want to take a loss.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: He will find and fight for every blade of grass.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: And when you have a player like that, it's really
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: fun to watch. He runs with a desperation to it,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and he kind of creates his own holes. But I
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: think the Eagles are going to be able to unveil
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a potent one two rushing attack with Saint.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley and Tank Bigsby in the postseason.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: But I want to give him a mention there, but
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: that kind of underscores the I guess, the questionable decisions
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: in this game to have Tanner McKee drop back as
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: much as he was when you had a running game
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: led by Tank Bigsby that was performing well.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And there were a lot of.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Third and shorts or whatever, and the Eagles were electings.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was a play late in the game
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: where Tanner McKee poists a shot down the sideline in
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: a low percentage thrown to Darius Cooper when you could
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: just hand it off to Tank Bigsby or Will Shipley
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: or even aj Diwon, who's pretty good at running between
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the tackles at whatever he is two hundred and thirty pounds.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And there were a couple instances in this game where
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I just thought that they were.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: A little they overthought it a little bit.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Instead of running the football on short distance, they elected
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: to throw it, and I thought that that kind of
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: backfired on multiple occasions. So you could certainly look at
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that as well as certain points in that game.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: But I think the EGO was going to look back
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and want those plays back.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I understand the excitement that comes from making a big play,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: especially when opportunities are limited. But wide receiver Darius Cooper
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: picked a really bad spot to pick up a taunting penalty,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: which occurred following a seventeen yard catch that would have
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: set the offense up at the five yard line. The
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: drive stalled three plays later when McKee tossed an interception
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to safety Jeremy Reeves. Let's see, so I talked about
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: mac McWilliams coming on at Nicol when they had to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: move Michael Carter back in safety after Brandon Johnson got hurt.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: McWilliams collected a pass breakup on a third quarter third
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and set evan On Johnson pass over the middle to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: wide receiver Deebo Samuel. But he also picked up a
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: costly pass interference penalty in the fourth quarter when he
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: was defending a.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Pass to Samuel in the end zone.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: It shortened the field and led to a Johnson touchdown
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: pass to tight end John Bates to even the score,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and that felt like a tipping point in the game.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Jay loox Hunt single handedly swung momentum for the Eagles
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: in the third quarter, recovering at Josh Johnson fumble at
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the Washington thirty. The Eagles scored on the possession, with
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Bigsby surging in from two yards out to retake the lead.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: The second year pass rusher.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, leads to the Eagles not only
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: in sacks, but also in interceptions. He has three interceptions
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: on the season six and a half sacks. He's just
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: been playing lights out over the past couple really the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: last four weeks, I would say, going back to the
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: cornerback position, there was a lot of excitement from some
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: when the Eagles acquired ja Coreyan Bennett via the Trade
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: dead via trade in early August, but he was charged
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: with three penalties and he struggled mightily in his first
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: extended action of the season. And again there's a reason
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: why Fanjao had reluctance to deploy Bennett on defense, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I think Sunday offered a little bit of clarity. Egos
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: don't have a manufactured touch player per se, but Britain
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Covey certainly has the traits to become one. The diminutive receiver.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: He accumulated twenty yards on two receptions.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: He's just excellent in space and.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: The change of direction to elude defenders. I'd like to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: see what he can do offensively in that capacity. I
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: don't know that he'll get that opportunity here in Philadelphia,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: but he said after the game, I am perfectly fine
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: being Devonte Smiths backup.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: He looks at it. He wears that as a badge
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: of honor.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: He's never been shy about saying, you know, I would
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: love to play a receiver. That's his position of trade,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: and he's a very good punt returner. But he's just
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: accepted and embraced his role. And you see some of
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the ability to make some explosive plays with the ball
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: in his hand on offense. If the Eagles were able
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: to open things up a little bit more offensively, I'm
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: curious to see what Britain could do. And I'm you know,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: one or two touches a game, just to get him
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: in space and pick up a first down, and maybe
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: when the offense is stuck in neutral, dumping the ball
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: off to somebody like that might help.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: They don't have a manufacturer touch player.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I thought an Ia Smith could be that type of guy,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: but it didn't pan out that way. But Nevertheless, it's
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: hard to assess offensive line play.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I spoke to Drew Kendall after the game.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: His father, who of course was a longtime center in
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the NFL, Pete Kendall, he was there.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I asked him, I said, you talked to him.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: He said, oh, I'm sure he's gonna, you know, criticize me.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: He's smiling. He said that he gave him some advice
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: before the game. But you know, he said, it's really
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: hard to assess your play right after the game. So
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: he said he won't really know until he watches the tape,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: but was happy to get out there. I asked him
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: about playing alongside Brett Toath. They played together obviously in
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the presets he's in alongside one another, but it probably
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: and he pretty much said it help with the chemistry.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: The communication said, the communication was good with Tanner McKee,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: some really good stuff there from him.
• 16:12

• 16:18
  Speaker 3: having one less drink is never felt easier. Instead of
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: pouring a cocktail, I just reach for souls out of

• 16:29

• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Twenty one and up.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I have to go back and watch
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: this game because I want to see how Cameron Williams
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: played in that one, and I think that the offensive
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: line as a whole probably didn't play to the standard
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: that they wanted to. It looked like McKee was under
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: duress for most of the game. But when I do
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: these post game takeaways, I don't make any definitive statements
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: unless something's totally obvious, because without rewatching the game or
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: talking to the player or what have you, it's very
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: hard to declare to make declarative statements with with you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: without having more information to go off of. But I
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: thought there were some young players who took advantage of
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: their opportunities, and then you know some that that struggled
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: in this game.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And look, Nick.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Siriati, he's pretty much said that he would do it
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: all over again if he had to. He doesn't regret
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the decision to rest the starters. He said, rest is
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: something he could control. Whatever else happened was something that
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: was out of their control. Whatever else happened around the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: NFL was seating and all that. I still believe that
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Diegos did the right.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Thing in resting their starters.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I know that's probably something that goes against what many
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: of you believe. But and it's easy to say that
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: now having watched how that game unfolded. But this is
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the team that was really banged up along the offensive line.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Landon Dickerson Cam Jurgens, Jordan Mylotta, and if you can't
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: block up front, you can't play offense. And the Eagles
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: really need to take advantage of every opportunity that they
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: can to rest their offensive line because that is the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: key to their success in the postseason, running the football,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: protecting Jayleen Hurts, whatever it is. You look at guys
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: who have been sort of banged up throughout the season.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Jaywhen Phillips hadn't had a bye week off season, he
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: played seventeen games this year. And in the secondary, just
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Cooper Degen pretty much plays every snap. Quenya Mitchell has
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: played every snap. Zach Bond doesn't come off the field.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: These guys need rest. If they're not robots, it's not automatic.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: And when you have the opportunity to do it. Nick Sirianni,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: who knows this team pretty well, prioritized that to get
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: them ready. And I think you can also look at
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: this game and say he had a lot of confidence
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: wanting his players to go out there, but also in
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: his team as a whole, because it didn't seem like
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: they didn't care at all that much who they were playing.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Because that's out of their control. All they can do
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: is line it up and go play. You can't worry
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: about what's what's down the road, but you can control
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: getting your team as healthy as possible going into the postseason.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: And I think one.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Thing we can say with definitive certainty is that Nick
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Sirianni knows how to press the right buttons.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: He knows how to.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: He knows as players, he knows how to optimize health
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and put them in the best position to be as
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: fresh as possible. And then it's all going to be
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: about execution next weekend when the Eagles take on the
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers. Again, we don't have the
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: date yet, but that's the way it's looking. But that's
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: that's who the opponent is going to be. And we'll
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: figure out at the time and day in a number
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: of hours now, But for now, that's.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Going to do it for this edition of The check
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: O Daily.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I am Andrew to check oh, and I'll catch you
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: all on the next one.
