Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hell down. You don't love the filling out Diagles, let
me get of hell down.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
We are back. This is Eagles Talk on a two
D radio and as always, we are brought to you

Speaker 3 (00:43):
We are live.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
We are back.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
We were supposed to have a show last week, so
we do apologize with the with the game running really
late going into overtime, we had some some issues prop
up and some of us, uh we're heavy, weren't feeling well.
There's definitely something going around, so like, uh, we apologize
that there was no show, but we are back and

(01:08):
I'm sure we are feeling much better as Eagles fans
today tonight compared to what what the vibe was last week.
So hopefully a much better show I had for you,
for for everyone involved. But it's a boy chucks, it's brings,
it's p y, and it's less Bowyn. Gentlemen, It's been

(01:30):
a while, feels like how is how is everybody doing?
This holiday? Season. We are halfway through December, so you
know what's going on.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Feeling better, I guess still sick.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, you're always sick, p y, Yeah, but it's it's
been like like legitimately bad. Like I don't really take
anything for it. I usually just try and power through,
like I'm taking like cold pals and every I'm a man, I.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Have a cold, but I don't think I can communicate
it to you through the internet, so I think you're
probably all pretty safe.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
That's true. That is true. I used to before I
met my wife, I used to not take any medicine either.
Whenever I get sick. It'd be like I just want
my immuni immune system to just flush it out of me.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
And then I met her and She's like, take medicine,
and I'm like all right, So that all changed really quick.
And I used to not go to the doctor and
that all changed. So yeah, I know, I know the
growing up is a thing, but uh, I'm sure we
feel much better with the Eagles. So let's get into it,

(02:42):
all right, because the vibes from last week to this
week are so different. Well, and I know it's against
the Raiders, but the fact that they they the outcome
of that game was what it was. You kind of
feel things starting to swing and plus and plus, which

(03:03):
we'll get to with the Pole question. The loss by
the Cowboys last night also added to it because the
magic number, as it says in our title, is now
at one. Entering yesterday's games, it was at three and
now it's at one. So with that being said, I
asked the pole question of if the Eagles continue to

(03:26):
show schematic improvements offensively unlimit self inflicted mistakes, they will
make it to at least the NFC Championship game. Agree
or disagree, It's kind of a long one, so I'm
gonna put it out at the bottom. But let's start
off with less Our. Of course, our esteemed guest here

(03:47):
less what do you think? How is how is your
how is your feeling about and confidence about this team?
Now that you've seen improvements that we've all kind of
been waiting for.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Well, I'm going to agree with the Pole question if
those things happen, and that's a big if. Still, Yeah,
you know, the defense showed you yesterday again that it's
a championship level defense. Yeah, the Raiders are awful, but
seventy five yards That's something that hasn't been done by

(04:24):
the Eagles in many, many, many years, and by teams
anywhere very often. They the Raiders didn't get a snap
in the red zone, you know, I mean, that was
an historic another historic defensive effort. We've had a favo
some of them for not but yeah, if the offense

(04:46):
can get its head out of its rear end like
it did yesterday, you're gonna get Lay Johnson back. I
think maybe this week. I do think that's that's a
logical thing. Who would you think right now, if the
Eagles are playing reasonably well, who's going to beat them

(05:06):
in the NFC? I would say, you know, Seattle has
a shot, La has a shot. I don't think Green
Bay has a shot.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Especially without Micah.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
I don't really. The forty nine ers are all excited again,
but they really had to. They went into the fourth
quarter with the Titans yesterday to get by the Titans
at home and in LEVI Yeah, I'm gonna say that

(05:37):
I agree with the Pole question and that that is
a logical outcome.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Pu I, what do you think?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's a tough question, just because, like we've seen, the
Eagles have these stretches where it's like, all right, cool,
maybe we think we got it fixed.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
You know, the Giants game is like that, or things
look good.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
They were doing some different things to show the game
as well, and then they just went right back to
what was not working square peg, round hole, like if
that's their mind.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
So the question is that they're gonna keep doing these things.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I know that's that's what I'm trying to get to.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Okay, sorry, So.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
If we're creative and we're we're doing what we did
on Sunday, we're going under shot, we're going under center.
You know, we're trying to be creative with the blocking schemes,
like we're trying to do all these things that we've
seen them do in short spurts. I do think they
could make an NFC Championship game. I thought there were

(06:42):
a lot of creative play calling decisions on Sunday. I
thought they allowed Jalen to play his game. I thought
they schemed up some of the really good deep shots
for Jalen even hit middle of the field a few times,
which is nice. You had some of those creative shovel
plays in the red zone, which is Kevin Pottoole's bread
and butter. Like, you can say whatever you want about

(07:03):
him and the red zone. He cooks. He just can't
cook anywhere else other than the red zone, which is
a problem. Not to mention the fact that Saequon looked better,
Like he's looked much better the last two weeks that
he has most of the season, which is a side
of things to come. Like I think if he played
the fourth quarter fully, he might have broken one hundred yards,

(07:27):
which which was nice, and we even got to see
Tanner Ricky. I'm sure everyone was so excited about that one.
But like, if they're able to be this creative and
they're able to scheme things well and they're able to
get out of their wheelhouse and not force things, I
do think it's a smart enough offensive game plan to

(07:52):
make it to an NFC championship game. As long as
Jalen is not turning the ball over and we're not
screwing up on punt returns and stuff like that, I
do think this could be an NFC championship bound team
because the NFC is there's nothing special right now other
than the rams.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Like who scares you rings? What do you think?

Speaker 3 (08:15):
I mean?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
I can't I can't come on here and just say
that everything's fixed. And I'm one hundred percent confident in
this team because they did what they were supposed to
against the Raiders. I just can't do it because every
time we see this team take a step forward, they
take two steps back the following week.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I do give them.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Credit for this is the first game in six weeks
where we're not talking about a whole new list of
laundry lists of problems, because that's what it's been. It's
been problem after problem after problem each and every week
here on Eaglestock that we have to talk about new problems.
As far as schematically, I thought schematically they were good

(08:57):
against the Chargers. I thought Kevin was far from the
problem against the Chargers. They got way too many penalties
against the Chargers.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
And Jalen Hurts, I don't know he was. He pissed me.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Off against the Chargers. He had two turnovers on the
same play. Like it was the most the worst game
I've ever seen an Eagles quarterback play, maybe since mister
Red Bull Mike McMahon, which I'm sure West was.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Covering the team back that guy was.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I was just gonna say, you can't say worst as
long as Mike McMahon.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Exists, right, I mean that guy was awful and Jalen
was strive for stribe with him against against the Chargers,
so cool. I mean, I wouldn't be confident in a match,
in a rematch with the Bears, especially if you have
to go there, I wouldn't. I'm not confident they can
go out to LA and beat the Rams. The Niners

(09:54):
are a tricky one just because they're good. But are
they I don't know, I don't know. I guess I
would favor them over the Niners. Seattle's the Seattle's better
than the Eagles, So like, it's hard for me to
sit here and just give them a pat on the
back for even though it was a dominant win. It

(10:16):
was the Raiders, And I see a lot of fans
out there think that this team is back and everything's
gonna be fine, and everyone's pointing to the Buffalo game
in a couple of weeks. Is like, oh, that's the
test against Buffalo. But they got a game on Saturday
against the Commanders, and the Commanders aren't gonna quit like
dogs like the Raiders did. Yester. The Raiders quit very

(10:39):
early in that football game, really The only one giving
effort on that team these days is Max Crosby, and
he's good. But no quarterback, no run game, no offensive line,
bad coach.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
I don't know. We'll say, we'll see if they can
sustain this another week. Beat the Commanders. You beat the Commanders,
you're gonna get you'll win the division. You only have
to win one game or doubts lose a game to
get the division. So the ten and ten and seven
no playoffs talk, that's that's over.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
Yep, that's good. I do think it's imperative for this
team to get the two seed. You gotta make Chicago
come here, the loser of the West come here.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
You gotta think that.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
I don't think it's realistic that they're gonna get the
two seed, though, is it.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I think I don't think it's a great job because
the Chicago has a tiebreaker and they're a game ahead
of us, So I think most likely you're looking at
the three seed, and probably.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
With Seattle coming here, I would guess.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
But the Bears have a tough They got the Packers
this week, then they got the Niners, and then they got.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
I forget if it's the Lions or they.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Haven't even looked they have.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, they have a tougher schedule. I mean they have
a tough schedule. So it's not like it's not like impossible,
but like we would need to win out and then
then I think would have to lose like two of
the games if I if I have it correct, so
if you if I'm going to look at the standings, now,

(12:18):
the Rams are are the one seedon in the conference.
The Bears are are two. Eagles at three, Bucks at four,
Seahawks at five, Niners at six, Packers at seven. Now
with obviously with three games remaining, a lot of that
could shuffle. I mean, you got a massive, massive Thursday
night football game coming up between the the Seahawks and

(12:41):
the Rams. That's gonna that's gonna say a lot. So, uh,
that's a that's a huge game for that division because
they're keeping pace with each other. So the winner of
that game could be the NC West winner. Obviously, the
Bucks and the Books and the Panthers are duking it
out for NFC South. It seems like no one wants

(13:03):
to win that because both both of those the Bucks
and US the Panthers both lost, so we'll see who wins.
That division. But if you play it out right with
how the standings are right now, the Eagles would play
the Niners at home in the wild card round, which
I would like their chances. You know, the Niners, they there,

(13:25):
they don't have Warner, they don't have who's the the
Nick Bosa, So like that defense is they're fighting, but
like I forget who said it, but there was. They
were in a close game, or rather close game with
the Titans, who so you know they're not I would

(13:47):
favor us pretty significantly over them. And then so if
they if the Eagles win, that likely we would be
going the divisional round, we'd be going to Chicago to
face the Bears. Yeah, granted it's a way, but I
also don't see the Bears doing what they did to

(14:08):
us on Black Friday again. I don't see it. And
I like the Bears. I do like the Bears. I've
defended Caleb Williams. I really like the way that the
team was playing. But they caught us at the perfect
time or we just were really just still figuring it
out offensively and they caught the defense like gasted. So

(14:31):
I do not see them doing that again. So if
I'm gonna answer the pole question, do I see them
making it to an NFC Championship game or do I
think that's a realistic possibility if we continue to play
the way we should, I absolutely do, because we wouldn't
be facing whether it be the two teams that I
think would be the toughest opponents, would be the Rams

(14:54):
in the Seahawks, and we wouldn't have to face them
until we get to the NFC Championship game. So as
it stands now, I do think that's the path, and
so I like our chances. I do like our chances.
And the key thing is, like it says in the
boat question, we had to continue to play this way.
We had like it's a shame we didn't have you

(15:17):
know show last week, but on film Don't Lie, I
had said after watching the film, like they were doing
better stuff schematically, and I was like, I was very encouraged.
And they continue to have a good game offensively, play
calling against the Raiders, and this time it was a

(15:38):
clean performance. And playing against four teams in the league
absolutely helps. But they were able to you know, it's
a get right game and every once in a while
team needs that. So they took advantage of that, and
they played clean, limited the penalties. They didn't shoot themselves
in the foot, and sometimes is what you need to

(15:58):
get the ball rolling. So I am encouraged. I'm not
I won't say. I won't say I'm confident, Like they're
still on the back of my mind, because yeah, after
the bye week, we saw that they kind of just
like like people, I said, they kind of reverted back
to like doing nonsensical stuff. So there is always a
chance they go back to shooting themselves themselves in the foot.

(16:22):
But I'm and i'd say I'm encouraged that they can.
They can play the way we expect them to.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
So yeah, so you see if you see them start
the next game like a uh nine place and shotgun,
like you know, I might rip my hair out a
little bit. But like I know, we made we made
fun of it like in the past, like Nix HARRANI
like taking a larger role in shaping up the offense.
Like the last two weeks, it showed, it showed they've

(16:54):
been better prepared. Things have looked crisper. Obviously, the turnovers
against the Chargers were bad, but like overall, like scheme wise,
things looked more hashed out.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, Yeah, Greg Miller says here, if we see the
Bears again, I believe Angel will use five and six
manch fronts more so this time around and play the
run much better. In my opinion, Yeah, I do think.
I do think that we're gonna see better adjustments from Fangio.
And I don't think because that was only one part
of it. Yeah, like Ben Johnson out coach Fangio and
Ben Johnson is is so good. But the other part

(17:31):
of it is that the players just were dominated, Like
our defensive line was dominated in the trenches. I don't
see that being the case.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, I don't think they're gonna get the same I
don't think the Bears are gonna get the same push.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
And I think we're.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Also going through just a really bad stretch at that time,
and it just they got us at the worst possible moment.
And I don't think you're gonna get that if you
play the Bears in the playoffs, because look, Kabob's never
been in the playoffs, he's never been in that evilment.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
A lot of that team hasn't been in the playoffs.
A lot of the parts of the team haven't been
haven't been.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
The Eagles have they have history, like Jalen has been
in the playoffs every year and it still has a
large chunk of the offense and a good chunk of
the defense.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, so exact exactly. So, I mean I know they
have you know, they have Chauncey there, obviously veteran leadership. Uh,
they have buyered veteran guy. So they do have some
vets on there. But like I said, core people, Caleb,
DeAndre Swift, calm, young guy. You go to their receivers,
d J. Moore, Roma Duns, Luther Burden, Loveland comment like

(18:38):
they they haven't been to the playoffs, and you know
why because he was so bad with us.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
He's good.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
He's a good old guy. Every every single team he's on,
except for the six weeks we had him.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
It looked like because we had the worst, one of
the worst defensive coordinators at the time. That's he's very good.
He's been very good in Chicago.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, I didn't say he wasn't good. I just said
he was good. I said I don't like it because.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
He wasn't he was.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, for us, it's like you remember Patrick Chungkyngland.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh my god, it's.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Just like that's new England, like the New England defensive
guys from that era, like Belichick just Okay, you're good
at this skill, and that's all you're gonna do for
our team. And then teams would sign them away.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
And make them do things that they didn't do in
New England and they would be exposed.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah it's crazy, it's crazy, but I hear you on
that because it's when a player is just not good
here but they're good elsewhere. It's just like, what what's
going on? Like why could they.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Brought him in? They tried to like help the defense
that was collapsing with him. Yeah, he came in and
he made it worse somehow, and they did a lot
of other things that made it worse.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I think the one highlight switched defensive coordinators halfway through
his tenures. So I think he had his one highlight
was he had a interception, right.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, that was it. I remember that. But I hear
you anyways on track, Uh, I'm gonna go around the
word again. Uh, let's start with brings this time and
with the opposite way. What is one thing that has
impressed you. You can even choose the Chargers game, even
though that was a loss well, because since we saw
some improvements schematically, what is one thing. It can be

(20:31):
a player, it can be a schematic thing, play calling,
it can be anything. One thing on the offensive side
that has impressed you the most and that you can
you want to hang your head on that this team
will continue to do moving forward, So it brings you
start well.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
The offensive line seems to have somewhat solidified itself. I
didn't think the offensive line was a problem against the Chargers,
and obviously it wasn't a problem yesterday.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
So if they can, if they can block better. They still.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Don't run the ball as effectively as they did last year,
and they still mysteriously go away from the run when
it's working. Yeah, but I think I think the offense,
I think the darkest days of the offensive line play
are behind us, which is good because that's no you

(21:26):
would where you win is in the trenches.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
What do you think Chanden Hurts of the run game? Like,
he didn't do it a lot yesterday. He didn't do
anything crazy, but just the thought of him being able
to run at any moment kept the defense on their
toes and open things up a little bit. Obviously, I
was hoping it was gonna open up U Saquon's running

(21:54):
room a little bit more. But he did have a
better game because of it. I think teams had to
prepare a little better a bowl a little bit more
as the game went on because of Hurts is running
like it's something. I don't need him when they're up
thirty four to have him do a QB run like
they did towards the end of the game last week

(22:14):
or this week. But you know, I just need him
just sprinkle in a few runs here and there, and
it's going to keep the defense on their toes. It's
gonna help this team moving forward.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
So the piggyback off of that, if you know, I
charted the the design runs that Jalen Hurts had not
including the touchbush. He had four of them. So one
was a TB draw the first quarter for nine yards
on third and four. There was a zone read in
the second quarter that went for four yards on first

(22:47):
and ten. A third quarter of the six fifteen mark,
third and twelve, that's the infamous that the QB draw
for thirteen yards without the first down on that and
then the the the one in late in the third
quarter that gave us all a heart attack the zone
read where he kept it and then got tackled for

(23:07):
a loss of the yard, uh and appeared to kind
of hurt himself, but thank god he was. He was okay.
Maybe in a blowout, don't don't call a QB read
or like or a play that could be a QB
run and maybe just keep protecting them a bit in
a blowout. But I hear on that, and I think

(23:27):
we've all been if he only has to do like
you said, I agree, Pee, why he only has to
do it a few times, And that's that's the thing.
Only do it a few times and you it's gonna
be effective, you know, do it in smart circumstances. And
that that third and twelve one was awesome. That q
donald thurn dove was was a great, great, great play

(23:48):
to call in that spot. So good stuff there, but
uh less finish it off. What what is one thing
offensively that you want to hang in your head on
that they'll continue to do well well?

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Putting hurts under center in general, whether they're running or passing,
and just you know, showing different looks. That's something we've
been waiting for and dying over, you know, all season long.
And it finally seems to be happening. Not that they
still don't do some things that drive you crazy, but

(24:23):
they're still trying to use Grant Calcutara, the block, you know,
things like that.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
For the love that all is holy.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Yeah, I know, but you know, I think that's made
a big difference. They were under center a lot yesterday.
I wasn't reassured with Nick Siriani. He was asked about
it and he was like, you know, some games you
go under.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Every game, you know, I.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Can't really see that there's a difference there that you
know that. No, it's not something you just do, you
know when you feel like it. It's it's what you
need to do with this offense and this team. So
that's my thing. And if I had another thing, it
would be the penalties they've kind of cut down on.
They got a little lucky a few times. Yesterday. There

(25:14):
was one big run that Fred Johnson was holding the
guy and they showed it up.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh yeah he was.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
He had a crosby and a strangle.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, you know, I mean, but it's it's better than
it was. There was a while there where weren't running,
but he plays that any kind of big game they had.
You knew there was a fly Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yep, uh there was the uh the deep shot that
Smitty Fred Fred Johnson was I'd say, you was definitely
holding on that. So we lucked out on that play.
Definitely hear you. When it comes to under center, Yeah,
under center play action, I charted that four hurts, had

(25:55):
four of them, McKee had two. But if we're going
to just talk about hurt, yes, yeah, check down the
saquon in the second quarter. Also second quarter the slide
route to the opposite side to Godard and then another
a slow release route by got It and later in
the second quarter, Oh, that one went for twelve. The

(26:17):
slide route went for twelve yards, the slow release by
god It went for fourteen, and then the sale route
by god It in the third quarter went for thirty two.
Overall on play under center play action four for four
for sixty six yards and an EPA per play of
one point one four. So yeah, I think there was
one game this season where they where the under center

(26:38):
play action wasn't working well. Outside of that, all the
other games where we were utilizing it, it's been effective.
So I hear you, Nick Sirianni that you know that comment,
but I also don't want to hear it.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
You better continue to do if you go away from
under Saturn next week. Like, I just don't understand it
because it's either KP is like telling it. Oh you know,
I just don't think they understand. I'm like, or it's
Hurts like I don't. I think I think it's a
scheme thing. I think they think the offense flows better

(27:15):
in shotgun. I nobody should agree because it's wrong. I
think there's there's still advantages from shotgun that Hurts probably
is comfortable with, which is good, Which is fine, you
know what I mean, Like especially running empty empty, Like
the Hurts is really really good operating from empty.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
You've seen some.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Good things from empty, and I'm okay with that.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
That's really good. I mean, like the QB draws from
empty again the wrong the right place, right time. They're
they're effective. So yeah, I don't mind still utilizing shotgun.
It's it's so funny because I think years ago, back
in even like twenty twenty two, there was a conversation
that was that would be brought up constant, like why

(27:56):
are they always in shotgun? Why they you know, why
does this often never used under center, and people speculated
and I'm not saying they hurt it, Like, I'm not
saying they were hating. It was reasonable to speculate, like
does Hurts not want to go under center? Because is that?
I think he just is not comfortable doing so we
always wondered that, But I think we're seeing now like

(28:18):
and we saw sprinkles of it last year with Kellen
Moore were they they utilized it somewhat, but not not
to this degree. So this this new thing of going
under center is awesome to see because we are now
getting the answer of no, Jalen Hurts is open to it.
Jalen Hurts can't execute under center, and it was only

(28:39):
a matter of like the whatever, for whatever reason, the
coaches didn't find the need to implement it in years prior.
So it's really really, it's really cool to see as
a guy who loves that, I've loved under center because
I you know, as a running back guy, it's more
advantageous to use that alignment. So I am so glad

(29:02):
to kind of see it.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Listen, I don't I don't know how you.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
I mean, you were at these press conferences with Andy
Reid and and some other coaches every every week, every
day for what twenty years.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
I don't I don't know how you.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Did he did it.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
I mean, you lose brain cells. Listen to some of
these guys talk. We just talked about Nick Sirianni. But
one guy I didn't lose brain cells listening to postgame
yesterday was Jalen Hurts. For the first time, maybe ever,
he did not sound like a fortune cookie up there.
He sounded like he was pissed off that people wanted

(29:39):
people like me wanted him benched, and w Ip, who
carries the games for the Eagles, wanted him bench.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
I think every.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
At w I p Marilyn Mike it did.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
I mean, I don't really whatever, but the quote, I
think everybody needs to remember where I come from and
how I'm built. I've eaten a lot of Chinese food
in my life. I've opened a lot of fortune cookies.
I've never seen anything like that on a fortune cookie.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
It's honest and it's it's truthful, like this is true.
But I just think he's getting higher than the disrespect
because it's been a little ridiculous. Like obviously there's been
stretches this season where he hasn't been perfect, and he
was bad against the Chargers, Like we all admit that,
Like he was bad, but like to benure your franchise

(30:35):
quarterback and your Super Bowl MVP, you know, and not
give him a chance to try and turn it around
is insane. And I just don't think people forget like
he's been in this situation before, He's had things like
blow up in his face, and he's somehow like was
able to figure it out Alabama, Like, if there's anyone

(30:56):
who's able to figure that out on a professional level,
it hurts, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Absolutely, And the I bring I want to bring this
coming on the side note looks like a Jane Jaylen.
It might have made up or.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Or maybe they just never hated each other like so
many people speculated they did.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Can I just say this because I've had conversations with
people about this and they're like, oh, you know, they're
just not friends anymore. It's it's not that things change
once you work with a person.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
I have great.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Friends to where we're like super close and everything, but
that the relationship might change if I had to depend
on them on a regular basis. At my job, I
sell cars for a living. I'm there six days a week,
twelve plus hours a day, and sometimes I need to
depend on other people to ensure my success. If I

(31:55):
had to put my hands into something else to where
I couldn't do everything on my own, that relationship might
change because it can affect a lot of different aspects
of my life. They don't hate each other. Relationships just
change based on the new things that occur. Look is

(32:15):
a weirdo, Like he's a he's a wide receiver. They're
all weirdo.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Wide receiver, divo weirdo.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
And I think he's the only one who's not a
weird though. He's the only wide receiver who's not like.
I wouldn't say only, I wouldn't say that. I mean
he's one of the like the few that you can
look at like.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Doesn't I don't think. I don't think it's this. I
always I always thought it was overblown. Yeah, if you say,
like he's a he's a he's a weirdo, like, I'd say, sure,
I'd agree with that, but I'd say, and he's a
weirdo in a great way. And and I think if
you if you are great, but you're not a weirdo

(32:58):
in some way, then I question like this, it's it's
every week you're.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Not upset that you're not getting the ball, even if
you're waitning. Like I'm okay with that because it just
shows that, like he continues to want to have a
part in the success of the team, Like while things
are going bad and he's just quiet and not saying anything,
I'd be more upset.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, I just I alway stuff.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
I mean, people have the problem when he goes to
you know, the less Bowens of the world, who are.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
How else are you gonna get it done? What do
you want them to do?

Speaker 5 (33:33):
I don't have a problem, I said, tweets and does
ship like this, So yeah, I don't care. I think
this whole A J. Brown thing is has been a
bunch of nonsense.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes, I agree. I think it's you know, it's it's
just so funny that people bring up like his relationship
with her and blah blah blah. And I will say this,
I think I've said this on the show before, but
I'll say it one more time. No one knows they're
exactly relationship except for them to and their families. No
one knows what's going on with their personal relationship with

(34:08):
each other. But the reason why I am confident that
it's perfectly fine, like fine enough to be teammates on
a winning team is because there was that. I think
NFL films released the Super Bowl when when you know,
when it was a Super Bowl and they were on

(34:29):
the sideline, you know, in the fourth quarter and they
were talking to each other. I didn't see two guys
who still don't have love and respect for each other.
I saw exactly that. I saw. So no matter what
whether their best friends still or not, I saw two
guys who love and respect each other no matter what,
no matter what the situation or what their friendship has

(34:50):
evolved to, they still they still have that for each other.
So brother, so it's never it's never bothered me. I've
never really.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Made it out, and they need each each other.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Yeah, I don't think you can win in today's NFL
championship without an alpha receiver like J. Brown And with
all due respected Davonte Smith, who's a good player. A J.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Brown is way better than Devonte Smith.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
A J.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Brown needs Jalen Hurts. I agree.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
I only think it's like a who's better than who.
I think it's a symbiotic relationship where they all need
each other. And guess what when you have a brother,
guess what. You guys fight, you scrap. You know, you
yell at each other, But the end of the day,
that's your brother, and if anyone disrespects him, there's gonna
be a problem. I can say whatever I want about him,

(35:37):
he can say whatever he wants about me, but if
other people are doing it, it's a problem. If you've
watched the last few weeks, you can kind of see
that AJ is kind of inserted himself to where because
he had an opportunity the last two last few weeks
to throw Jalen under the bus, to throw mud at him,
and he never took that opportunity, and he even took

(35:57):
a few opportunities to stick by his guy.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Well, I mean, hold on one second on that, because
if A. J. Brown came out came out swinging after
that Chargers game, after all them drops.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
He was.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
To piggyback off of what you said about you need
like a you need a top wide receiver to win.
I think I'll take it further than that, uh brings.
I think in today's NFL, and I I'll say this first,
I think there are numerous ways you can win a
Super Bowl in the NFL. I think there's I don't
think there's just one set way, but I think one

(36:36):
of the ways is by having two legit wide receivers
or two legit receivers on offense, because it's not it's
not like it wasn't the two thousands. In the two thousands,
as long as you had one elite guy, everyone else
could just be okay. But you look at the top offenses,

(36:57):
there are guys that those offenses are are offenses that
have at least two legiti wide receivers. And so having
the ability ability to have two wide receivers who you
could argue are wide receiver ones in this league, like
both of them are top options. That helps so much.

(37:19):
It helps a ton a ton. So yes, to me,
it's not just about a j It's about him and DeVante,
and they compliment each other so well. They get along
really really well. They love to see each other succeed,
and they're different types of receivers, and I love the
the chemistry they have with each other. So to going

(37:41):
off with that, anything else from the offensive side before
we get into the defensive side, gentlemen, Nope, okay, cool.

Speaker 5 (37:51):
We have an identity. Do we have an identity on
offense yet under center, under center, yes.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
I think we're becoming under center team. Yeah, yep.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
I mean it took fifteen weeks, but I guess yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Isn't that frustrating?

Speaker 1 (38:05):
That's the maddening part, Like it should have been this
way after the bye week like it should. I don't
know why it didn't stick at you know, after the Bible.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
That's that's what you were.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
A decent balance, I would say.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, yep, agree, less all right. Defensive side, I mean,
there's not much we can say because the defense has
just been doing their thing over and over. I mean,
I think there are two games you'd say that they
didn't show up, which was a Giants game and then
the Bears game. But other than that, they've been reliable.

(38:38):
But this game was just like I think was seventy
five total yards unless you said they didn't get the Raiders,
never gotten to the red zone. I mean it was
it was awesome in them. You know, Brandon Graham was
able to get two secs, so you know, seven snaps

(38:58):
seven snaps, so it's very uh detailed.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Is he is he off the edge now? Or is
he is he on d line.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
He does both. I think the one the first sack
he had, I think he was rushing from the interior.
If I'm so, you know he's doing the same thing.
He's he's doing both. I'll go I will start this
and then we'll go to the last and why then
brings high I'll highlight. Let's highlight one defensive thing that
stood out to you. Uh I, I want to give

(39:32):
props because it's due. It's not due, but like it's
deserved considering the heat he was taking the beginning of
the year. Dori Jackson again continuing to play well, continuing
to play well. I'm very very glad that he's Bill Covenance.
Now do I I mean, do I have faith that

(39:54):
he can go out and shut down watch? No? But
why would anyone expect him to do that? Like, I know,
I forget who said on the show, but I'm not
trying to call names liberately. But you know, I think
I was you you.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Were like how many times we're going to see him
give up yards to the CD LAMB? Like of course
it's gonna get to CD LAMB, Like it's it's it's
cdee lamb. So like I'm not going to put that
on him.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
But as long as he comes out and continues to
to be solid and just not be a complete liability
out there, and that's all you need from him. So
we lost the Trevor Booker trade, like what we can
or we can admit that now, right.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
I don't think so. You mean the Thomas Booker trade.
I don't think so, because I think that also you
have to question depth, So like if if a Dory
were to go down, do you feel confident going to
do you still feel confident going to Key Ringo? Or
do you feel gentleman?

Speaker 1 (40:51):
I also don't think Fangio would give Bennett the shot.
I think he would go to Killy.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
I don't. I don't, I don't. I don't know if
I agree with that because I think when he was
going to Killy, Jacoreyan was hurt so and then now
that Jakorean's back and it's been healthy for a few weeks,
I think that the Achille things didn't we.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Have like a spell where Dori was like hurt or something,
and then they just went straight to Ringo.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
I think they put no. I think they put uh.
They put the G on the outside and put Michael
Carter in the slot, which turned out to be really
bad because yeah, so I don't think they go they
go to Killy and and this is I'm not I'm
not to say that like Jacorean should be the guy.
I'm saying like, at least now you have depth, because

(41:40):
you know, the depth going into the season was a
question mark for me, like who do you have behind
your starter? But now like we traded for for Michael
Carter in the slot and we have Jack Ourian here
who could be the backup, I'm I'm okay. I can
sleep easy knowing that, Okay, we have options if a
door were to go down, which we've seen several times

(42:02):
during the game, like he gets he is a little
liable to get hurt. So you know, I wouldn't say
that we lost the trade we get Thomas Booker, Like
what would we have needed him for. We don't kneed
for anything, So I wouldn't say.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
That you were kind of not sure what you were
going to get there, and he would have come in
handy at that moment, but yeah, in the long run,
he wouldn't have gotten a lot of snaps.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
I don't think. Yeah, how about you less the defensive side.
I think you want to highlight, well.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
You kind of took my a Dori Jackson thing. That
was what I had in mind. But I'll quickly pivot
to the pass rush. I really you know, I know
it was the Raiders. I know their offensive line isn't good.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
They had seven sacks against the Chargers.

Speaker 4 (42:47):
Yes, I just think without Jalen Carter, to see the
defensive line playing like this, it's hardening, it really is.
And there are several guys there that are doing a
good job and you know, been very consistent in these
last few games. And yeah, I'm most enthused about that.

(43:09):
I think that really it makes a Dori Jackson look
a lot better. Frankly, if the quarterback doesn't have five, six,
seven seconds standing back there forever, you know, to wait
for somebody to break free, that makes a big difference,
it really does.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Yeah, Pee, Why so it's not so much a player,
it's a group as of late, and it's the Georgia Boys. Now,
Kobe Dean has been exceptional, but please, for the love
of God, no passing place, please, no, no, no, no.

(43:46):
Jordan Davis has been everywhere. Like Jordan Davis has finally
had that breakout year we've been hoping for. Yeah, and
who have I what his best rank would be? Batten
down passes like he's drolling bed in the paint and
no one, no one Smith wants since his return had

(44:10):
three sacks, like he is all over the field that
there is. Yeah, Like, I'm so excited to see like
what no one is going to be able to turn
in like as the season finishes. I think he probably
finishes the season with five sacks, five plus sacks, And
it's just it's just so nice to see this group

(44:32):
coming together and continuing to show success that they show
show in college. And obviously, if Jalen Carter is healthy,
we know what he can be. He's a wrecker. He
is a destroyer of worlds. Ask Matthew Stafford how impressive
Jalen Carter can be. We just need his shoulders to
not be held together by duct tape.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yeah, no, I hear, I hear brings the defense will
takeaway Uh.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
For the first time ever, the Eagles have a legitimate
surplus at linebacker. Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean every off
season we did talk about free agency and talk about
the draft. Oh well, we're gonna like, is this the
year we're gonna invest in some linebackers. They invested in
found Zach Bond, they paid Zach Bond. They used a

(45:22):
first round pick on Jahad Campbell, who is a non
factor now because Nakobe Dean's so good. And then you
have obviously Na Kobe Py mentioned him, and Trotter does
things on special teams for you like yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
And Na Kobe has kind of become the focal point
of the defense quietly, I think, more than he was
last season. Yeah, it's it's very interesting. I guess the
fresh legs having missed a good bit of time this year,
but you really notice it in key situations.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
He called me the calls.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Yes he's there. He's still the rag guy is.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
I could be wrong.

Speaker 5 (46:08):
Yeah, I know he was doing but I know he
was doing it before he got hurt last year.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
I don't know if he I think.

Speaker 6 (46:14):
Yeah, the thing I think Fangio has found a balance
of being able to utilize his ability to.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Tack down hill, which is what he's excellent.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
Like.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
You look at him as a blitzing machine. You look
at him coming down on screens, you know, or you know,
in the flat, defending the run. His ability to go
downhill and attack is what makes him special. That that
is what made him so appealing. So that is that's
awesome to see. And with Fangio using him the way

(46:53):
he has, that's Dean is is balling. It's it's really
awesome to see that that level of play come out
of him. So I didn't think he was gonna be
healthy enough to have this type of impact, and I'm
I'm very very happy I was wrong, because.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
I'll agree with you there I was. I thought it
would be all year before he was really back to
what he's.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
I thought so too. I didn't think he would be
looking like this until next year, you know. So it's
it's nice, it's really really nice to see and I'm
definitely happy for him. Abida's asks Macouba done for the year. Yes,
So I will also bring this up. It's really really underrated.
It's really underrated having Marcus Epps because Sidney Brown just

(47:43):
was just really bad as a starter. But not with
Marcus Epps there, He's He's essentially what mhm the team
was hoping Sidney Brown would be so like, which is
odd to say because Marcus Apps was here before. So
but like, Marcus Aps is just you know, a guy
who is just going to be competent and just come
down and fly downhill and and.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
You know the penalty every third snap.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Yeah, exactly, and not look lost and covered. So he's
having having is an underrated, underrated acquisition.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
I was gonna be snarky about Sydney yesterday because he
took a special teams penalty. I saw that yet, But
then they showed the replay and it wasn't a block
in the back. Yeah, he hit the guy on the shoulder.
It was a bad cause.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Sorry, Sydney, I hear uh anything on the defensive side.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
I mean, it's this guy in the world, less Bowen.
The only only only guy it calls out is the
Sydney is Sydney Brown.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
I don't know about that. I I there are other
players I don't like very much.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
Yesterday, even with that, I didn't line.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
There were plays where Dickerson and Jurgen's just got destroyed. Yeah,
you know, are you still heard? What the hell can't
you move? What's going on?

Speaker 2 (49:04):
You know?

Speaker 4 (49:04):
I am critical of other players.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
But.

Speaker 5 (49:09):
Grudges, like if a guy was a jerk to you
or didn't answer your questions the way you wanted them to.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
That that's not the right way to do the job.
You're there for the fans, you know, not for how
they But subliminally, can you really put that aside, especially
if it's the other way. I mean, if a guy's
a jerk to me, I don't think I've ever really

(49:39):
go over the line there. But if a guy is
like really nice to me, I don't want to you know,
yeah his best there. Yeah, for me, I have to
fight that more, you know, because you do want to
if somebody is a decent person, and you know, you

(50:01):
want to you want everything to be okay. But I
have had you know, Brian Westbrook was kind of a
jerk to me as a matter of fact, but I
never helped that against him. You know, he always had
a chip on his shoulder. He always he wanted to
be a basketball star, Yeah, at Damatha and he wore

(50:21):
up his knee and ended up playing football at Villanova,
not Ohio State or Michigan or Alabama. And he carried
that chip for a very long time, and you know,
it was he was kind of a prickly guy, which
is funny because now he's kind of in the media
and he's mister you know, very smiling but yeah, you

(50:43):
know that's the way he was.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
I remember, like when he was even in his prime,
he was never like the most loud or like vocal
like or you know, you never really hurd of him.
You were heard from him when he to like locker
room or press conference stuff like, Yeah, he was. He
was always quiet. It was relatively relatively quiet.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
Yeah, and he played in an era I think he
would be a bigger deal now.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
I think he played in an era where it was
kind of like, well he's a great pass catcher, but
he's a running back, you know, you know, that's not
what it's about, you know, kind of like running quarterbacks.
You know, it was like, well he run.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
It's not the Yeah. Yeah he was before sign him
like him, Marshall Falk Yeah, you know, Roger Craig, like
before their time. They Yeah, they absolutely were. I want
to get to this because I know it's kind of
been brought up a little bit and we're kind of
circling back to do you think but since it's you know,
they asked the question, I don't think Aj is getting traded.

(51:47):
That would be stupid. Do y'all want him traded? No?

Speaker 4 (51:50):
No, I think that would open up a big can
of worms. Yes, in terms of what you do out there,
in terms of the salary cap hits still, uh, I
just don't think. I mean, if somebody wanted to give
you a bunch of first round draft picks or something, sure,
but that's not going to happen.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
And the best right guard in the league for a
J Brown like something like that. Yeah, it would have
to be a football trade, not a draft pick.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
Right, Well, here's a pick trade. Well, I don't know
there are draft picks that I would take for him,
but I don't. I don't think that will happen.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
And how many do we need though we got ye
picks all over the place.

Speaker 4 (52:31):
Well, you don't have like a top ten pick, and
that would.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Be Yeah, Titans want to give me like Jeffrey Simmons
and like their first round pick this year.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
That's a that's a that's an interesting period. Well, here's
here's the tough part about because you know a lot
of fans, especially like online, that they're like, oh, I
think A Brown gets traded this all season blah bl blah.
Don't think he's here next year. But here's the caveat guys,
like in twenty twenty six. If you look up his contract,
if we trade him next year, the dead cap hit

(53:07):
the seventy two million dollars. So and I was, I was,
I people verified this for me. When you trade, you cannot,
like the receiving team cannot take on that dead trap
because it's just the cap. It's when he paid in

(53:29):
advance and they can.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
It's like at post June first or something. You can't
trade you still have to still has the same amount.
It doesn't have to all go into one year.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
I was told, though, with a trade you can't designate
like you can with a cut you can take. You
can't designate it post You just have to trade him
after June first. We just have to wait until Yeah,
you have to physically wait until after. But by that time,
like are you doing, like how many teams are going
to do it at that time?

Speaker 4 (53:58):
After the draft to the draft, so after free agency.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Yep, that's where it becomes difficult. So you're talking about
seventeen million dollar capt and people fans will be like
they ate it last time when it came to Wins,
that was like that was a very one in a
billion type of scenario and they he he forced their hand.
I don't think AJ is going to be I don't

(54:25):
think Aj is in that mindset where he wants to
force the Eagles hand to treat them.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
I don't. I don't see it almost how the season
ends up here. I mean, it could end up with AJ,
you know, being really disgruntled that the Eagles not doing
well in the playoffs and who knows. But I just
don't think it's a realistic. It's unlikely to happen. Yeah, Yeah,
more problems than it solved.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Yeah, agreed. The last thing we'll get to here, and
it kind of alludes to the Saturday Is game a
little bit. Uh Habib says, I've in Buffalo. Do we
play the starters if we win the Vision at seton though?

Speaker 4 (55:08):
If you're if it's between two and three, yeah, you're
playing at home versus playing on the road in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Yeah, they'll still play. They'll still play the starters.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
They hosted as the two seed in the NFC title
game last year.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Yeah. Yeah, because the Lions the Lions, the Lions.

Speaker 5 (55:29):
The Rams could lose the first the Rams play their
first game against Seattle, yeah, yeah, or if Seattle is
the one seed and they play the Rams in their
first game and they're out.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
I think Kabeb's question. I think it's more than likely
that the Eagles will have to play their starters. Ah,
will they approach it like it was a life and
death game? If they if they win this week? Maybe not. Yeah,
I don't know. It's Nick Spen kind of weird with
stuff like that. He's at games where he sort of

(56:04):
tried to play guys. Part of the twenty three.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Yeah, I was just about to say disaster was.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
He goes into the last game and plays the starters
just enough to get a J Brown.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Oh, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (56:23):
Yeah for a CEO head coach, Nick Siriani is not
a very good CEO.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
No.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
I think he has times. He has stretches where it's
like really bad in question, but like he has other
stretches where it's like okay, like you can see it,
and people talk about how he's a really good culture center.
He listens to the players, The players trust him and
they play hard for like he a lot of situations
he doesn't I put creed into that. I absolutely put
value into that. Yeah, there are there are decisions he

(56:54):
makes where you scratch your head, right, I think.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
When he is allowed to be a full of CEO
head coach.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
He's one of the best.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
When he has to mitigate every other thing because he
doesn't trust other people in the room, that's when he falters.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
Oh, I mean that's his fault. He set up this room.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
I mean, I don't think it's fully his fault. There's
a general manager who signed off on it.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Crushing Howie with the best talent is not our issue here.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
I'm not saying that you approve, you approved this offense coordinator.
You gave him your stamp of approval, and it's for
the most part, bit you in the ass.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
And they can make it. They can.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
Maybe you should shave his head again. He became smart.
Maybe you should do that again.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Yeah. I'd be asked if we lose the first time
to be opportuno. I'm pretty sure yes would. I think
it would have to take a Super Bowl repeat for
us not to fire for two.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
I think if you went to an NFC championship game
and you got close, I think you could make an
argument that keep him. But I also think there's some
dumb team out there and be like, well, you know,
maybe it's the quarterbacks fault. Maybe maybe maybe Kevin's is
genius that everyone says he is.

Speaker 4 (58:18):
Yeah, I don't think he's. I just think I think
the playoffs have to be really good for him to stay.
And I don't see how they're really good when you're
coming off Super Bowl win unless you get back to
the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
But yeah, he would have to. Yeah, the offense would
have to be putting up like thirty plus points in
each round or something like that going off to where
like he's really in his bag. And and I didn't
mention this earlier, but at the same time, this offense
has looked better since it was reported Nick Sirianni started

(58:57):
to have more input in the week. So who's how
much of how much of the credit can we give
to Patula? And I hate to play this game because
I do want to give Petulo credit because regardless if
Sirianni is is helping during the week, Patulo still has
to call the place, so he deserves credit. I'm just

(59:18):
saying if it comes to the off season and we're
determining whether he should keep the job or not, like
that is a factor. That's a factor of like okay,
like how much of the prep was you? Like, can
you make it a argument? Can you state your case
for why you should keep the job. So yeah, I
don't know. And then it'll be best who would be

(59:38):
a good Patullo replacement, someone from the outside who can
give fresh ideas much liked and much like Callim Moore did,
I mean Psychon opened this offense up and did a
did a lot of things that accented Jalen Hurch's strengths.
And then Kelim Moore came in last year and implemented

(01:00:04):
new wrinkles that that made the offense not vanilla and
stale like it wasn't twenty twenty three. So you got
to find someone who can do similar have that similar
type of effect. You can't just you know, having to
need new ideas to continue evolving the offense. And whoever,

(01:00:25):
I'll say this before we go, whomever's idea it was
to really start to lead on under center. I give
a lot of credit to like stuff, awesome stuff that
that has really changed and helped this offense in terms
of evolving and being new. So I whoever's whoever gets
credited that you, hats off to you. I just hope

(01:00:47):
they continue to do it. They do it now, any
last any final thoughts before we hit out of you guys.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
Win this week because we don't want, you know, just
just it would be just the Eagles fans luck for
the Eagles to regress this week and somehow lose, for
Dallas to upset the Chargers, and then we're in a
whole ridiculous best about where the Eagles are going to
win the division and you know, no, you don't need
that win this week, and don't go into Buffalo needing

(01:01:17):
to win.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Yeah, yep, and then lose that one and then.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
I won't even think about how stress. I don't want
to think about how stress that would be, so is MARIOA.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
And then we're going to the playoffs and we're waiting
back to back division files for the first time in
twenty plus years.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
