Post-Game Show: Eagles Win 33-10

they are playing. Obviously, old four team got off to a thirteen and one start before we lost too and gave away the last two games. But this is a team as head it in the right direction. I mean, you gotta like what they did today. Came in against a against an inferior team in the forty nine ers, and took care of business. Got off to a little bit of a slugger start. I think that's to be expected.

The weather was crazy out there, rain everywhere. Took this team a little while to find this rhythm, but they certainly found it in the second quarter and they carried over into the second half. This is what you do to teams that you're supposed to be take care of business, get out of there with the w and get ready for next week. All right, we have a great show for you to come up. We're gonna hear from head

coach Doug Pearson and quarterback Carson Wentz. We're gonna have a little film review Kursey of Great Cosell and fran Duffy, and we're here from Eagles Inside Dave Spadero in just a few moments. But I coming into this game, the big storylines were how would the Eagles handled losing two of their key leaders Jason Pierce on offense and Jordan Hicks on defense. And I think on both sides of the football, they acquitted themselves quite nicely. Well, let's start

on the defensive side of the ball. I thought the defense. Obviously, this is an offense that doesn't have a lot of explosive weapons. They got a rook quarterback in there, and ce J Bethner he's going to be limited in what he can do, so I wasn't as fearful about losing Jordan Hicks this week, which I also give those young linebackers time to get acclimated. This was sort of a good warm up game for them. As you get ready

to go through the second half of the season. But when you think about that offensive line, although we got out of here with a w today, I mean, the offensive line was up and down. You know, Carson Wentz three sacks, officially hit on a few other occasions. You know, they certainly don't want to have that be a theme as you get ready to go through the stretch runner

this season. But I thought all those guys together eventually sort of come and came together as a collective unit and started to protect better and run the ball better in the second half. So the offensive line is always going to be the toughest because as a defensive coordinator, when you know you have a guy like Big V in there who's making a start for somebody as important as Jason Peters, you're gonna try to load up on

this offensive line and try to cause confusion. Give San Francisco credit, they did that at times today, But for the most part, I thought our offensive line held together. What I thought was encouraging by the Eagles on offense is that, and maybe for the team as a whole, is that Carson Wentz wasn't his best today. He was not his sharpest, and he was getting all the national acclaim. We're hearing the MVP discussion coming off the four touchdown

performance Monday night. Off on some throws that I held the ball too long on some others, but the pieces around him on offense, defense, special teams pick him up and it's not just a one man show. And I think that's what everyone has to realize. Yes, Carson is going to get all the headlines, he's going to get all the acclaim, but it's not all going to fall

on his shoulders. Yes, he's got to be the best player on the field, but if he's not his sharpest like he was today, this Eagles football team can still win. And I mean, listen, a little bit of this has to be expected. When you have the rain coming out consistently throughout the game, it's gonna make it a little sloppy on the offensive side of the ball for you, you know, the Doug frank Wright, John D. Filippo, they suddenly wanted to take their shot through the air when

it presented itself. They were able to do that. Carson missed on a couple of throws, but that's to be expected. Again, you're talking about rain, You're talking about new offensive lineman in front of him. Here's the thing I love about this team. He doesn't have to be at his best, and they're gonna be games from time to time throughout a sixteen game season that you're gonna have to be

picked up by your teammates. And I thought the defense and special teams did a great job of picking up the offense while it took the offense a little bit time to get themselves going. I thought the defense came out and played exceptionally well. This whole game turned around off that Jalen Mills pick six that he was able to put the Eagles up. I believe seventeen and nothing at the time that touchdown. I think they were able

to feed off of that. But here's the thing. When Carson needed to make throws, I thought, for the most part, he was able to make them. All Right, what we're gonna do now is send it over a little bit. We're gonna send it over to a link. But jail and Mills, second year cornerback, with the pick six there, it was so impressive because he's done this all season long, where it seemed like he's re eating the route better than the receiver he's covering. Okay, it was an out route.

He read it perfectly, jumped in front of the ball. And he's not the flashiest player. He's not the most physically gifted player out there on the fields, not can be the fastest corner, but he's so good at recognizing what offenses wanted to do to attack him that he's able to stick to his receiver. And he's just such a sound job tackling as well that he makes it tough to be able to attack. Well, here's the thing I love about this kid. Hey, he's a classic overachiever.

It's not that as if he doesn't have any talent. He's seventh round draft pick with suddenly he could have been a higher draft pick, third round, fourth round if it weren't for him off the field stuff prior to the draft. And you said he's not the fastest. He's not the quickest. But here's what he needs to start

getting credit for being a smart defensive back. His pre snap recognition, studying throughout the week, understanding what an offense is trying to do to him as a defense, understanding the concept of the coverage that's being called and planned to those strengths. If he has outside leverage and he's gonna have inside help. Well, that's the way he's going

to play that wide receiver. He knows if he doesn't have any inside help and he needs to use the sideline as an extra defender, he's able to do that as well. And you can play in this league a long time by being an intelligent football player. You don't have to be the most physically get the guy, but understanding what an offense is trying to do to you to expose the defense. That'll carry you a long way in this league. And that's what I see when I

see Jalen Mills. On top of the swagger that he plays with which you must have to play that position, that confidence is through the roof each and every week and certainly came through in a big way today. Now we're gonna send it over to the lake for the first time in bringing Eagles inside or day. Spadaro Dave, how much of an impact did the rain have? We obviously here in the studio and didn't get really have a feel for it. So being out there on the sidelines,

what was it like dealing with the elements today? Yeah, I mean, I think it had something to do with a fairly lackluster offensive performance, but there was no wind. The Eagles just didn't really execute offensively. But again, the mark of a great team here, and the Eagles are getting to that level, aren't they, is that you win in a variety of ways. And today the defensive line destroyed San Francisco. The defense stepped up until the offense kind of cut up of it later in the game.

But the weather really wasn't nearly as bad as we kind of had feared. Yeah. I can remember back at oh four Dave when we played two games in the middle of our season against inferior opponents. We had to go to overtown to beat the Cleveland Browns out in Cleveland, and then we won a relatively low s foreign game against the Chicago Bears right before the bye week. Until your point, that's what good teams do. They aren't going to play perfect every week, but you have to find

the way to win. That's what good teams do, and that's exactly what this team did today. Yeah, no letdown. I mean, the Eagles understood that San Francisco had a good defensive front, which clearly show they came after Carson Wentz to shut down the Eagles running game until late. But the Eagles still are playing with so much energy,

so much intensity, and they're picking each other up. You know, Jake Elliot misses a couple of extra points, they come back and block a field goal, the offense not really getting in gear until late. The defense picks it up and dominates. And then late in the first half the interception return, the touch on top of the touchdown past Zackertz and it's a blowout game. So yeah, I just think this team, really really, it's just is trusting the guy next to him. Look, they lose Patrick Robinson, Dexter

McDougall comes in and does a nice job. Everybody on Joe Walker starting into the linebacker, everybody on this roster feels like they own a piece of this team, Dave. Last week after the Monday Night Wayne Carson Wentz was getting all the acclaim. Can Doug Pearson start giving some love for what he's done with this football team, getting it to seven and one and preparing it for with so many tough circumstances that could have maybe thrown the team off track this week, getting them ready to play

and dominating the Niners the way they did. Yeah, you know, he's done a triff job. His message is clearly being heard. There's a lot of trust in the locker room. He always talks about ownership, so the players are certainly responding for him. But hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Nineteen ninety four Eagles or seven and two, rich Kotite was the king of the world, and then they lost seven straight games, just saying, I don't think this team

is like that. They're clearly not built that way. But yeah, Doug Peterson's done a terrific job letting people leave the locker room, letting his veterans leave the locker room, and you see the young players following in the veteran's footsteps. Dave rich Kotite didn't have the Wentz Wagon at his disposial. Talk a little bit about Carson's performances day, a little bit of up and down. But I thought at Tom's he made some big throws, and at Tom's he missed

a couple of guys to talk about his performance. Yeah, you know, he missed. He missed Alshan Jeffrey early in the game, had that defensive player coming into his chest. He had the bad throwing the interception. I wanted to see how Carson would handle adverse weather conditions, and I thought he did fine. A lot of pressure, you know, vity a left tackle, took him a while to settle in. The Niners brought a lot of pressure and got to

Carson Wentz. So I would give him a solid B for his performance here, and after weeks and weeks of eight plus efforts, we look at the score sheet and there's two touchdown passes, a two point conversion converted, and it touched an interception, So I'll give him a solid be all that matters, though it is a W in

the win column. Davey, you mentioned alshon Jeffrey at the two point conversion, but when the Eagles need a big play in the second half, he made the contested catch, fought off the defender, and made his way into the end zone to pretty much put the game out of reach. What do you think of Alshan's performance today? Yeah, I loved it, and I think that's what we've been waiting to see from Alshan. Jeffrey, go up, get that fifty fifty ball, show your catch radius, be more physical, box

out the defensive back. He did it, stayed in bounds, shook off the tackler got into the end zone. Great sign of hopefully things to come for alshon Jeffrey making those big plays down the field. All right, So Eagles and tire Day Spadaro, thank you very much. We can't wait to reach on the inside coom as well as listening to the Eagles Life podcast recapping the win in just a little bit, Dave, thank you very much. Thank

you guys. All right, so we are going to hear from head coach Doug Pierson and quarterback Carson Wentzon just a little bit. But Ike, coming from the defensive standpoint, what did you think of Jim Schwartz's game plan? Ay, knowing that Jordan Hicks was not gonna be in the lineup, so you have to differentiate between whether or not you want to go with the nickel or dimes sub package, and then facing a rookie quarterback who is making his first career start on the road. Yeah, I thought Jim

did a nice job of mixing it up. I think they brought pressure at the c. J. Beathard at the right time. You're talking about a rookie who hasn't seen everything yet in this league, so you're going to confuse him a little bit, But at the same time, I think the game plan not to overreact to not having Jordan Hicks. You gotta trust the guys that you're coaching up weekend and week out. Joe Walker's a guy even though he was injured last year, he's in the meeting rooms,

is in the same defense. He's been here this whole offseason. Has taken advantage of the opportunity, although minimum when he's been given those opportunities. And I thought today the defense really set the tone for this game. They attacked C. J. Bethet. I thought the defensive line dominated that offensive line of the San Francisco forty nine ers, and our linebackers were flying around today. Michael Michael Kendricks made plays, Nigel Bradham

made plays. And here's the big thing. You didn't hear anything about Joe Walker from a negative standpoint. There were no holding calls, there were no pass and offairs things of that nature. They got some cheap runs San Francisco did hear and there, But for the most part, this defense, particularly that defensive front, they were dominating when it came

to that San Francisco offensive line. So you know the mark of a good defensive coordinator is not to overthink things in times when you lose somebody, trust your scheme, trust your coaching, and then trust your players to go out there and execute. And that's what Jeff Schwartz has been able to do. He's lost key guys throughout the season, whether it be Fletcher Cox, Ron Darby, Ron Brooks in the preseas Patrick Robinson to day. You talked about McDougal

going in the other day he was. He wasn't exposed when he had to go in the game. So that's the mark of a good defensive coordinator, trusting your players, trusting your teaching, and allowing your guys to go out there and execute. And that's exactly what they did. It's amazing. Like the injuries that the Eagles defense, we could talk about the offensive it, but the defense alone has been

able to overcome this season. You've lost Fletcher Cox at times this season, You've lost Jordan Hicks for this season, Michael Kendricks went down, McLeod was down for a game. We talked about the cornerback with Darby and Patrick Robinson going down today and this defense is still getting it done. Now. What I love about the performance by the defensive line today is the star stepped up. Okay, Brandon Graham is going against a backup offensive tackle to begin the game.

The backup gets hurt, and then you have a third stringer, Zane Beatles, coming into right tackle and Brandon Graham abuses him, gets the sack, applies a pressure on CJ be third Fletcher Cox dominates the middle of the here of that offensive line of the forty nine ers. These are the guys who you need to step up and win these one on one battles and shine the way they did on a weekend a week out basis, I really credit the Eel's defensive line for getting to it with the

forty niners offensive line and winning these battles today. I agree. I mean, and we didn't even mention the rookie Derek Barnett, who over the last three or four weeks is really starting to come on and make his presence spelt out there, taking advantage of the snatch that he's getting basically a third down pass rusher or an obvious pass the situation guy in the Eagles sort of Nascar package. He's out there on the field. Had a block field goal today and a recovery I mean, that's going to be the

strength of this defense. Those guys up front, the depth that they have, and the fact that when you go to that second unit, there's not much of a drop off there. There's no disrespect to those guys up that's with that first showing it. But when you bring in that second unit and you add a Derek Barnette to that equation, you add a Chris Long to that equation,

you don't have much drop off. And that's why this Eagle's front has been able to sort of carry the load for our defense when we're missing at Jordan Hicks, when our secondary, particularly our corners are very green young guys. You got Rosal little Douglas out there. You got Jalen Mills's only in this second year. When you have a front four that can get out of the quarterback and disrupt their time and in the pocket, it makes those guys on the back end their job a lot easier

to perform. Indeed, like what we're gonna do now, as we're waiting to hear from head coach Doug Pearson and send it to the boot, we're gonna present Merll Cam presented by Sports Radio ninety four W ip As Merlorys and Mike Quick bring you the best calls from today's victory. Bethard looks, dumps it over the middle and complete interceptal reflections picked off by Rothy mcclowns. The first turnover of the game, but a deflection as the past went off

the hands and into the midsection of mcclown. Beethor takes the snap. He's back. He steps up too late. He's sacked at this time of his Fletcher Cocks on first down, He rolls, looks, fires, complete touchdown. Hurtz has six little season made it look easy. Low snap back goes Bostard, he fires and it's intercepted. Mills tell the left five, he cuts back at the fifteen. He's running Acluster fields. He gets a clock, he cuts back. He said pull

the boots down. Jayle Mills magnificence wins takes the snap. He's back. He is floating it for Jeffrey, who hasn't on his feet at the ten five touchdown and shock Jeffrey. He broke away from Wither's food. Grace uff is always from Meryl and Mike, like we were talking about Derek Barnett and I love with the cookies are giving this Eagles team. Now you mentioned how important that death is for this football team. You have Derek Barnett stepping up in a big way with the blockfield goal, and he's

shining more and more each and every week. Were sold Douglass out there and making keystops. How about the juice at mac collins, the backpack kid brought to the offense struggling there in the second quarter, Neil a little spark there and two times back to back throws Carson Wentz or a two or three players should say, Carson Wentz goes to maccollins and trust him enough that he's throwing the ball before maccollins is even open. He's throwing him open,

basically showing that faith in him. And those catches eventually led to Zach Ertch's touchdown, which helped give the Eagles a bit of breathing room there in the second quarter. But overall, I just love what the rookies and this draft class have been able to present for the Eagles this year. Yeah, the guys that have been active, I mean you just mentioned the guys, particularly Barnette, Roussel, Douglas and Maccollins, even Elijah Qualls and when he had to

step up and play when Fletcher Cox was out. These guys are contributing. You don't forget about Corey Clement, who wasn't necessarily a draft pick, but an undrafted guy they brought in here, and he's certainly contributed over the last couple of weeks. Your rookie class is sometimes it's going to be tough to see whether or not you feel like you got the right guys early in the season.

You got to get these guys time to get acclimated to the NFL, the speed of the game, the understanding that this isn't preseason anymore, this is the regular season. See the preseason, when you get to go up against the second, third, and fourth units, you don't really get a clear idea of what it's like to be in the NFL. Well, when you get to the regular season, you're playing first teamers all the time, and when you're in there, you're the speed of the game is just

a little fast. And I think as the weeks have gone by, he's have contributed more and more. And that's the mark of having a good draft. As as your season goes along, those guys they start off contributed on special teams, and then as injuries present themselves, you start to filter them in and you see what they can contribute there. I love what Matt Collins has been able to do with the opportunity he's been given. Today actually was the first time Carson didn't complete a pass to

Machollands on every target. On that interception play, Mac has to do a little bit better job gett in front of that receiver being on the same target. But you can tell the trust is there with Carson and mac Hoollins, and that's not easy to gain when you're a rookie wide receiver because sometimes quarterbacks don't know if you're gonna run the right routes, if you're gonna be on the

same page with them in hot reads. To this point, Mac Hoollins has been exactly where he needed to be every time his number has been called, and more importantly, he's made plays. I like the tackle he had also on the punk coverage, and that's that's not easy to do open field by yourself running down there as the gunner being able to make that play on a slippery day like this. So when you look at our when

you look at our young guys. I would say they are right on there on the course that they need to be on, and I would expect them to contribute even more as the season goes along, as we get into the second half of this schedule. Well, it's interesting about the rookies here is the roles they've had to have developed throughout the course of the year. Barnett worked his way into the line from day one. You knew he was going to be part of that rotation at

deep defensive end group. They're working with Chris Long. We're still up what we're gonna do now and send over to the link for the victorious head coach Doug Pearson standing by. But this was supposed to be a trap game. You seem to put in the trap where you please with the overall ever, do you think it came about

for the Sluggers? You know, anytime, anytime obviously you win a game in this league, it's um, it's it's a special thing that they're they're hard to come by and and um, you know, it's things that we talk about during the week that we could just can't have any letdowns, and the guys really respond to that, you know, obviously pretty much Rain the whole game, and it's gonna you know, it's gonna maybe knock you off just a little bit with the with the forecast, with the weather whatever. But

guys really responded. Um did an outstanding job all game long. Um, and and just score thirty three like that. Um, it was pretty pretty impressive for them. Put a lot of personal cars in, especially in the first fact of what were they doing defensive leads to ride over him and the offensive line. Well, first of all, it's it's a good defense. Um. They are very active on on third down,

really active on all all downs. Um. Uh. You know, blitz to us at least rush five on first down, brought us safety a couple of times off the edge and inside backers a couple of times. And on third down is where they can really really get after you. And and just created some edges, you know, and some short short edges. Um. And uh, you know, we didn't execute the protection as well. Um, we got it, got it fixed, and we're able to uh, um, you know,

kind of hold it and piece it together. But at the same time, you know, we got to do better than that area. Finally hit all shand but was the significance of that play. Um significance was just it ended up in a touchdown and those two guys, Carson and all shann connecting like that. It was as a great route from from the jump he was he was being pressed and great release and Carson put it right where

he had too. And that's you know, that's what you expect from those two guys to make those types of place. Do you think blitz rattle Carson? Do you think that he was not a sink? It seemed like he was maybe a little bit out of sin until the third quarder And if so, do you think you're going to see that over and over again until he shows that he could be Well, we're seeing blitz quite a bit. I think we're probably the number one team offensively that's

being blissed in the NFL right now. Teams are just coming after us, I think, just to probably put pressure on Carson and and Um, you know, well we'll continue to see it, but uh, you know, we'll continue to work at it. Um. You know, I don't know if

it necessarily disrupted um Carson. Obviously it made him move around a little bit in the game, but uh, you know, later on we were able to fix the protection, He used his backs a little bit more out of the backfield, and then and then even sometimes the run game, trying to keep us in some third and shorter distances. We were able to convert. But I think we're four or fourteen today and really that's not not good enough for us. We gotta get better. You think that you're one of

the most placed teams in the NFL. Well, I think that when you got a quarterback, it's a mobile quarterback. Um. With Carson, I think I think there's gonna be some added pressure there just to just to get him to to move off of the spot. Because they do a great job of contain, whether they blitz from the left and contain on the right or vice versa. They can do that, and um, you know it just it just puts pressure on you, and it makes you if you can stand back there, and if Carson can stand back

there and make rhythm throws. Obviously you've seen what he can do down the field. So UM, I think we'll continue to see, you know, pressure and and uh, we just gotta continue to get better. How do you think the big did over some of the plans you had coming in to help help EASA be to place the Jason bats I think initially until obviously until I can

I could watch the tape, it felt like he played okay. Um, you know, we went into the game plan uh, into the game, um sending him back over his direction a little bit, um, you know, and and helping both our tackles, but primarily over on the left side. And and uh, he settled into the game, did a nice job. Again. I'll evaluate the film tomorrow and and get a chance to to you know, make the necessary corrections. But I think, uh, I think overall he filled in well and and well

we'll get him ready next week. Again. I saw you play for the block field so Dave could come over to seem a little automati he spots something, but he just ask you and listen to the block. And no, we were just discussing, uh possibility there if if they were going to go down and score the touchdown a little bit early to put the hands team out on the field. Just just situational football, you know at that time.

Nothing nothing out of the ordinary. Let's do that about the defense there, what do we have six but four sacks and what six or seven three and outs today? Something like that. Off the top of my head. I mean the way they put pressure on the quarterback. Um, just a dominating performance. Starts obviously with the with the defensive line, and um, you know, I thought in the in the back end they did a great job of

coverage tackling too. In the open field. There were some great tackles in the open field and Michael Kendricks stepped up had a couple of you know, PPUs and UM, I thought overall it was a great team effort. Today players have told you about the player that talked about not you know, looking past this team and that you know games plays because it was the great toub Niners team and the most part they did that today. Are you prod of the fact that they kind of stayed

focused and non turntal of the pass the Niners team. Yeah, completely. It's it's a great great locker room, the great leaders on this football team, and you know they know how to keep the guys focused and uh, you know, we talked about it all week. We were coming off of that emotional Monday night game to really a relatively short week, um physically a short week a little bit, and then and then to come out and play and to stay in there for four quarters and not overlook this team.

You know, um is a is a tremendous effort obviously by the players in that locker room. And and uh, you know that's That's the one thing I've really appreciated about our guys is they they just kind of one week at a time, one game at a time, and uh, they did it again and today are you happy with the pass protection from the running backs or at an area where you thinking they need to improve a bit? Well,

I mean we need to get better obviously, um. And and you know it starts with it starts with the getting the identification of the call and who who we're sliding too, and then then I DM that, Um, these guys work extremely hard. We keep working every single week and then we'll get better. Statistically, Carson didn't have a great game. It's the second pews yards, the second words pass a ready. However, sometimes the winds at her quarterback.

It's overlooked. No athlete controls wins and losses in sports more than a quarterback. Can you address how he sort of managed things today and didn't lose and maybe made a few plays too well, I mean, you know too with with the weather the way it was. And um, you're gonna have games like this and it's just gonna happen, and you just find ways to make plays and and um you know, um you asked Carson, he's going to

be disappointed. He didn't hit you know, al Sean in the first half and then had a chance uh sellec here late in the game. If third thing was the third quarter, a chance on it on that throw. And you know, there's just some things that he's gonna tell you that he's gonna those are the ones he's gonna make and and uh, it's gonna happen. Um, But the beauty of it is, you know you still put up thirty three points and and and that's that's a positive. And you found a way to do it. Um took

all the phases, all three phases again. Um, you know. And at the end of the day, you know, if the quarterback in Carson's case, doesn't have the numbers, but we win, I'd rather have the win because we can fix the other and and get better and move on to next week. Carson does a good job. You need wide receiving. You seem like you willing to put the guys like mack comin. And then how much does that help them down it? It's it just helps the overall, Um,

I think efficiency of the offense. You get these young guys in the game, build their confidence a little bit, UM in the run game and also in the passing game, and get them involved. Um, and and then and then you you can you can just mix guys and you keep a fresh group of guys in there, speed down the field, and UM, they do it. They do a nice job. You know when when they get asked to mac. You know, the last couple of weeks is um has made some big plays. You know, Marcus Johnson's been in

there a little bit. So we'll keep these guys coming. A game where he had a situation we haplying a touchdown and then the touchdown in a very short about time, he took a different situation. Obviously when you looked about the team's ability to recognize a quick striking, that being

able to divert it. Well, you know a lot of times today too, Um, when when we did struggle maybe the series before, we elected to go tempo and hurry up and and just try to keep that rhythm going just a little bit and get us back into the flow of the game. And I believe we um, you know, Corey started it off, had that big run you know in there, and then and then I was able just to just to kind of go back on the ball and then call a call a shot at that point.

And you know, it's just things that we work on, things that we practice. Goes all the way back to you know thought as um really and when when we start implementing our our tempo offense, and uh, they recognize it as players and um, they really want they want tempo. I mean, they would probably play tempo the whole game

if if, if you wanted to. But we try to pick our spots and and they executed it well, got the cans or anything like that for a while with Carson, But one of the two throws that he had two overthrows, one to Jeffrey that could have been touchdown and then one a little later in the game to sell it. It was a pretty wide open What did you have a chance to look at those two throws and why it was on time? Where were you sitting in the

press box of flight? Were you dry? I was like eighty yards all right now, I mean it happens, it happens. I mean, those are those are a couple of throws he would rather, he'd want back and he knew it and when he let the ball go and um it happens. You know, it's just it's just part of the game. But um, those are all the things that we work

on during the week. And listen, he'll be the first to tell you that he should make those throws and him he will and he has, so we'll just we'll just continue to work and get better to pick six opened up the game. Help he Jones lay the whost importance of that in playing well. I mean obviously, um it starts with the pass rush. You got to generate pass rush and put the put the pressure on the quarterback and you know, make him, make him drop his eyes or move or throw it early or or whatever

it might be. And Jens Jalen's really playing with a lot of confidence, who was one of our young players who had the benefit of playing last year as a rookie and just really his playing with a lot of confidence right now. And that's what you're seeing out of our young players. And another great play today, you know, Razul almost had one, you know down the left sideline there late in the game. So these guys are really

getting valuable reps. Um. He's a he's a player that you know, we lean on to do a lot of things. Uh is also physical in the run game, coming up and making tackles. But um, playing with a lot of confidence. Thank you. All right, there's head coach Doug Pearson, the Victoria's head coach, leaving the podium after the Eagles beat the forty Nins by a score of thirty three to ten. We're gonna wait to hear from quarterback Carson Wentzon hopefully

just a few moments. But what I loved about Pearson's performance today is the play calling adjustments he made throughout the course of the game. Early on, he wanted to establish the run. You know, the Niers struggle defending a run. Come into this game, give up the most rushing plays of ten or more yards. Wanted to take advantage of that. With the Garrett blunt wasn't working. The Niers were great

at defending the power run. So he tries to mix in the tempo, tries to spark the offense there late in the first half, and you see Carson Wentz get into a little bit of rhythm, they get the touchdown to zach Ertz, and then at the end of the game when they need to ice it, he's able to go back to the rushing attack once again. Blunt gets the last touchdown there for the Eagles and they're able to run out the clock and get the dominant twenty

three point went. Yeah. I mean, when you look at the floor of this game, you know, Doug obviously came in knowing what the weather was going to be talked about wanting to establish the run early. They certainly tried to. But then here's also what I like. They made the adjustment of, Okay, if San Francisco's going to crowd the box box expecting run when the Garrett is in there,

we're gonna go play action on first down. And there were times where they went play action on first down and able to hit that slant route on the backside, and you pick up six seven yards by throwing the ball to either Alishan or throwing the ball to Nelson Agalore on first down, making it second and short, putting you ahead of the sticks, giving you the opportunity on second and three to put the defense in a little bit of a quandary. As to how do we defend

second and short? So there is no one way to call a football game. The good coaches in this league, the coaches that last long in this league, they're able to adjust. They're able to read the situation and figure out how do I attack it. And even on plays that didn't necessarily succeed, it wasn't because it wasn't a good play call. Half the time, those were because it wasn't execution. Maybe an overthrow, maybe a block wasn't executed right. But I thought Doug called a very good game today.

He's called a very good game pretty much all year long. And as much as we like to talk about the quarterback, and rightfully so, he is playing and the MVP level should be the front runner for the MVP. But you know who should be the front runner for head Coach of the year. That's Doug Peterson. I mean, eight straight games, his team has come out played well. If not for a little bit of a fourth quarter collapse with turnovers in Kansas City, this team could very well be a

no right now. And all the naysayers about Doug Peterson his qualifications for being a head coach in this league, I don't hear them anymore, Chris, I don't hear those people that were talking in the preseason about how Doug Peterson seems to be unqualified to be a head coach in this league. And I just like what he's done

from last year to this year. He has gotten better like most coaches and players do who are new to this league or at a certain position, that once you give them a little time, then they can start to grow as a coach or as a player. And you look at the two most important positions on his team from last year to this year, they have taken the biggest steps. The head coach and the quarterback has taken the biggest steps in their growth ass from last year

to this year. And that's the reason why his team is seven and one. Well, like we were talking about this during the press conference, Doug is in a perfect position to succeed here in Philadelphia because he could oversee the offense and be the CEO of the team. You have Jim Schwartz, a phenomenal defensive coordinat Dave pipp who's outstanding on special teams, and you have great offensive assistance

in Frank Reich and John D. Philippo, who is extremely impressive, Jeff. Indeed, you have all that together, plus you have great veteran leadership in the locker room. Doug does a great job of listening to what they have to say. Overall, he's in an ideal situation that's allowing him to succeed. And credit him for putting those coaches in place, for helping work with the players and communicating with them to be able to have the best possible situation here in Philadelphia.

But Doug Pearson is a marvelous job getting this team to seven to one, And every week it seems like there's a different challenge for this football team. And this week you had the rain, which could have made the whole game a factor. You don't know what'll kind of role the weather's gonna play when it's funky like that. You lost two key players on your team for the rest of the season. How is the team going to respond?

You'll come off the emotional division went over Washington, and this was a game where you're facing a winless team. Human nature could take over and you have everyone telling you how great you are. Carson went should be MVP. Eagles are the best team in football, best record, number one in the power rankings. You have a team like Denver coming up on the horizon. This could have been a trap game, and the Eagles did not fall for it whatsoever. I'll tell you they will never admit it,

and north should they. But I wouldn't be surprised if a little human nature was involved in this game. Listen, you're playing an O N seven teams. It's a downpour out there. You're Sandy seven. You're coming off two primetime games on national television where it doesn't take much to get up for those games. You're playing a one o'clock game against the West Coast team and you're sandy itself. Let's get through this game. Let's beat this team. And they got off to a little bit of a sluggish start.

I'll tell you what else, play at nights two weeks and having to go to a one o'clock game. Uh, in a game where the weather was like this, they fall through it though. All right, So arguably the player of the Month for the NFC should be announced this week. Carson, what's the press conference? So we could get magic? Yeah, I mean the weather was really not a big factor, you know. I thought flow the game for us. Offensively, we were slow. You know, we were sluggish early on,

and um, they did some good things. Um, I kind of limited what we did offensively early on and we just had to make some adjustments and stick to our game plan. But um, offensively, I know, we gotta be better. We gotta be better. And um, starting off sluggish like that two straight weeks, we gotta get that cleaned up. When you guys get those strikes. What is about this offense, even the defensive, but this board on this team over all, when they have the ability to find a striker, the

din overturn the advantage of it. You guys live again today. Yeah, I mean that's huge. That's a that's a huge, huge, probably game. Jalen's pick six, I mean that's huge. That's a huge momentum swing. And um that's the one thing, Um, good teams find a way to win when ball games, even when they play play sluggish like we did offensively. But um, the ability to have those big plays like al Joan's touchdown. M that's just a big part of

this team. You know, we're a big play team and we're gonna need those when the belt to will matter. But I thought the belt not one and overlook ser franc let's go into a man that they did. That's what you mentioned about how wired this team. This typically this team is wired. Just look about the week approach, one week approach and none bople looking teams. And he did it get today? Yeah, I mean that's kind of just our approach every week is just go one and

go one and oh study the tape. I don't get caught up in all the outside noise good and bad and um, just try and go one and over the week and have the same preparation um day and day out. And you know, I thought we did that. We just again, we're kind of sluggish today, but but we'll be better. A teenager now. Bismar was also leather Ple was conditions. The conditions weren't bad, honest early when we came out pregame warm up, they were. It was raining pretty good.

But after that the conditions were, in my opinion, kind of a non factor. Um. Again, we just offensively, we just never really gotten to rhythm from the wrong room. Yeah, there's weird communicating before the play. He was thinking as a different route, but I told him right before the snap, so we were on the same page, of course, and a couple of players pointed to UH in practice these said,

it's been more competitive this year, more competitive periods. You agree with that, and has that made a difference in the overall approach for sure? Even going back to OTAs and training camp, that was the biggest thing we stressed was everything was a was a competition to some extent. Sho. We were doing stuff in the weight room competitively, you know, out and when we do agility drills or whatever, um,

and then that would carry over into practice too. So that just building that competitive um style of play and really everybody, UM, I think it has paid dividends of personally. You don't make a compete page always go back rows. I can see the like get over. Yeah, you know, it's just it's next next play mentality. Honestly, it's I mean, when you when you play this much, you're gonna miss some throws and that's um, it kind of takes me

off right away, but it's just on the next. It's on the next, and I know, um, my self, confidence in myself, coach sells confidence that that will make the throw the next play. And um, again there's there's a handful of them tonight that or this afternoon that that I definitely want it back, but um, yeah, that's the

way you go sometimes. What happened on the interceptions, dude, where you're looking for Mac Collins, Yeah, Mac and I were just not on the same page playing simple and um yeah that was a that was a big play for their defense, kind of put our defense in a hole there. Um, but yeah, we we just gotta be on the same page. Would you say about like the offensive line play, I mean, the first game without Jason Peters, it seems like you were to find it bit But yeah,

I gotta go and watch the tape on that, honestly. Um, again, early early on, Sam Fran was doing some different things that we weren't necessarily expecting, So um, we just had to, you know, make some adjustments to do some different things. So I gotta go back and watch the film. But you know, I never nothing really jumps out as far as Big V's play, So I would I would assume that's a good thing. I would assume that's a good thing. So we'll go back and watch the tape and evaluate

that takes the mid partant season. How would you possessed with the parts here? Well? Being seven and one you know, we like that, you know, we like that. That's a good place to be. Um, you know, I think it's something we just gotta keep building. There's a lot of things that we gotta keep cleaning up. I know personally that's the same way, both physically and then mentally with some of the protection things tonight. Um, we just gotta

keep building, keep building. But being seven and one, that's a good place to be in the offensively has a running a successful onnes today. How much was the connector for the running game today, especially given how the turf band been and have a little waiful back to the day. Yeah, I mean Lacare is a big part of this offense, you know, every week, and just his running style I think, especially in the weather like weather like today, um, bodes well for him. Um. And you know he's just he's

tough to bring down and he makes some some unbelievable plays. Um. He's far more athletic than you'd expect for a guy his size. So UM, I love I love seeing that guy in open field and making guys miss running through tackles. And he's just a big part of what we do. Yeah, go back example, but exactly you know, it's it's been having a guy like Al John. You know, I think we've we've missed a couple of those, um, throughout this season.

So when when we finally hit that one to day, I was just super excited because I mean, I just gotta give that guy a chance to make play sometimes. And he did the rest. He went up and got that ball, broke some tackles, got in the end zone. Um, And that's why he brought him here. We brought him here to make those big plays, and I was happy for him to make that tonight you go home tonight versus Roots. Um, there's there's a handful of them. There's

a handful of them. Um, I definitely want back and again I'll go back and watch the tape and UM, I don't know if i'd say one in particular. Obviously, the interception put us put us in a bad position, um, defensively, but um, those are things we got to just keep getting ironed out. But yeah, missed at miss handful of them. Can you take us through the Zachort's touched on how we got that wide open and the bet the end zone. Yeah, it's just a it's a great play called great play

called great play design with the with the rollout. Um, we had guys in the flat and so he just snuck behind Um snuck behind the linebackers there and he was wide open. So it is really really just a good play call. Thanks everybody. All Right, there's quarterback Carson Wentz, and I love how stingy he is about being upset

about this performance. Okay, this obviously was not his sharpest out and whatsoever, and not that he needs extra motivation, but you know that he is gonna be focused going through the tape because he's gonna want to improve upon this performance. Yeah. I love his disposition. I mean, when you get a quarterback who is very critical of himself and he expects more of himself, that's what you want. Because even after a win, you know he's gonna go back and look at the things he didn't do well,

and that's gonna be his focal point this week. He won't be over and overly consumed with it, but he'll he'll he'll pay attention to it enough that those mistakes won't happen again. And like to play with him. Maccollins, let's face and I love the fact that he didn't throw the young guy under the bus. They'll get that

worked out this week. Young fella needs to be in the right place, needs to be on the same page with the quarterback because guess what, I don't think Carson Winch didn't know where the ball was supposed to go. But that's something that he's gonna work on to get better at. And that's why this team is in good hands as long as he's lining up on the center

and he trusts maccollins. Yeah, he wants mccollins to develop and beat a vocal point of this offense, someone who's going to help out Again that drive in the second quarter where he went to Hollins twice on on the one throw, hows is not even open yet and he's already throwing the ball. He trust this rookie wants to go to him. So he just gotta work on those finer details. And it was also nice to see Aliston Jeffrey get the ball as much as he did, throwing

his way to the eight total targets. Of course, the big touchdown which put the Eagles over the top for good. Really nice to take advantage of that weapon. That's why the Eagles brought in all these pieces around Carson to say, if you're not having the best day, go throw it to a guy who's sixty three with this immense catch radius and you'll be able to make some of those big plays come to fruition. So, speaking of Mac Collins, I think great details played. Just a little bit more

Watch on social media, but you gotta be here on the app or the website to check out the rest of the show. It's funny how we're kind of critiquing the Eagle's offense today and they certainly had its ups and downs, but still at the end of the day, thirty three points. Yeah, okay, the only team in the league to have at least

twenty in every game this season. In fact, they have twelve straight performanceives of twenty points or more dating back to last season. It's the longest streak in the NFL. Another thirty point effort here today from the Eagles in the game where they didn't play their best. Yeah. I think we can all rest assured that we don't need to be awakened from our sleep as if we're dreaming. Yes,

this is a good football team that has a high ceiling. Sure, we got another half a season to play, eight more games to play, and you certainly got to maintain this level a play that they've had through the first half. But sure, man feels good to have a team like this plan the way that they're playing, and to have a team that isn't so much dependent on one player on one side of the football to carry them week

in and week out. We talked about the offense been a little sluggish to start off this game, but the deep end certainly showed up to day and I was certainly impressed with the interception retired by Jalen Mills. You know, I get an interception that I'm going down because I'm afraid I'm gonna turn the ball over, right, But those dbs when they get the ball in their hands, they want to score. And I like Jalen Mills on that interception retiring did a nice job setting up his blocks

and then getting in the end zone. He was hunting for that end zone, and that's that's a nice job. A little alone secret here, Chris Okay, I predicted Jalen Mills would have a Friday on the show before we went off. I said, where by Jalen Mills? I like that. You know who's on the cover of the Game Name magazine saw the Green Goblins just just meshes together perfectly. All right, So we've heard from Doug Pearson, we've heard

from Carson Wentz. Now let's go into the film room and break down exactly how the Eagles got this win. It's time to go to the Rico whiteboard for the Rico Review with Greg Cosell and Fran Duffy. All Right, so it's a three nothing game. The Eagles offense has the ball. They take a sack in plus territory, so now they're in, they're behind the sticks. They come up with a huge play in the passing game to mac

Hans showing what you see here? Yeah, well, Matt Collins, it's really important here he's up here, now, Noice, how close he is to the offensive tackle. That's what we call a split. That's absolutely critical because the forty nine ers are playing cover three. So when cover three, the corner is normally outside to begin with, he's what we

call an outside leverage corner. But with this minus split by Hollands, that's even more important because now the corners responsible, as you drew Fran, that entire third of the field. So what this does is it sets up in Hollands runs a great route because he actually widens the corner even more, and that is so critical because that's what you're trying to do. You're trying to widen him before

you break inside. Because here's what you're trying to do on this route, create as much space as possible between the corner and the deep safety. That's exactly what you're trying to get accomplished here. And now we can actually run this. This is what we call a skinny post. But this is so good by Carson Wentz because if you freeze it right there, what you're going to see here just a tad later is perfect. But what you're going to see here, you see where Hollands is. He

hasn't even begun his break. Carson Wentz is looking there now because he just knows that that deep safety is not going to be a factor. Winz is going to throw this ball way before Hollands makes his break, because this is skinny post timing, and it's really five step drop timing. There's Carson here, and actually, if we show this now and run it, you'll see exactly when this ball is thrown, Hollands has not yet even begun his break.

When this ball is thrown. That is high level execution by both Hollands with his route and Carson Wentz throwing the ball and of course this leads to a touchdown. Yeah no, quite a few plays later they able to punch the ball in. And what the other big thing that helped in that play as well was the formation she had that three by one set. That high safety automatically is going to seat a little bit more to

that three receiver side. So having Carson be very disciplined with his eyes makes a great anticipation, throw, great route for mac Hollands. It really helps set up this play which is at now down inside the five yard line of passing and put them right on the goal line here and just a simple preestap motion. This is a very run heavy look right now to run backs in the game. We're gonna let this run and you're gonna see they're gonna send Corey Clement out into motion. We're

gonna stop it right there. You're gonna see what happens here with this San Francisco defenses. Now they're pointing out assignments and they're a little bit confused about what they're seeing and that creates a bust. Yeah, it absolutely does. Because what you have is you have two running backs.

Obviously there's no fallback. You have Smallwood now in the backfield, Clement right there, and they're a little confused head of place because now what you do is actually have three receivers to the same side, because there's Zach Gertz right there. So now Zax is gonna run a little corner route and you're gonna get a little kind of sit route crow route, and you're gonna get Smallwood working in the flat. This is a basic three man route combination in the

red zone. Everybody runs this, but you see the forty nine ers. They get lost here. They lose zach Ertz, the last guy you'd figured they lose, but they lost zach Ertz, and it's an easy touchdown throw for Carson Wentz. But the design of the play caught the forty nine ers. So you get some great execution there on the big play to Mack Hollins, and then some nice disguise. The pre snap motion there helps confuse the San Francisco defense

creates a touchdown. That design was certainly something else. Thanks Greg and Fran, and we can't wait to see the full All twenty two review tomorrow morning. Here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com and the Eagles app. So we got two questions for you. First and foremost, who's a Toyota player the game? We're gonna let you know the nominees after this break. And then what did the Eagles have on the horizon? A big AFC showdown with the Deniver Broncos.

to vote for the Toyota Player of the Week. Go to Philadelphia Eagles dot com slash Toyota Player of the Week to cast your vote and get a chance at a brand new Toyota. So who are the nominees. We're gonna start with number seventeen, al Sean Jeffrey, who had a two point conversion early. But when the Niners showed a little bit of signs of life and you were thinking, don't allow San Francisco to get back in this ball game.

Eagle's offense was struggling. Nine ers weren't starting to thrive a little bit, had some momentum going in their direction. After the Matt free to touchdown, al Sean Jeffrey with a big touchdown reception for fifty three yards. This is the reason he was brought here for these contested catches and using that big bite to finish off for the score. Ye the ball that he likes to go up and get. He's one of the best in the game. When given that opportunity, and it's been a little bit of a

slow start for um. I just love his disposition all year man. He's been a great teammate, been a great locker room guy. Isn't begging for the football like we know diva wide receivers can deal, goes out and does his job weekend and week out, and the numbers will come. Hopefully this is more to come in the second half of the season. He's made some of the biggest players of the season. Yeah, I go back to a Giant's game in a nineteen yard to set up the sixty

one yard field goal by Jake Elliott. That's probably the turning point of the entire season right there. So obviously we all were expecting a monster season eighty catches, you know, thirteen fourteen hundred yards, fifteen touchdowns. It's not going to be those type of numbers because Carson Wentz doesn't force

to fall to him. But Carson knows that when he needs a big play to be made, he's got to go to now Sean breaking up that hell marry there at the end of the first half as well, our second candidate defensive tackle Fletcher Cox had to sack in the game today, so disruptive in the middle of the defense. Basically the Niners had to go away from the middle trying to get anything going. They were running Carlos hide off the edges to try to get some movement in

the run game. Fletcher Cox dominating the middle of the field, nothing overly flashy, just doing his job there to keep things out of his way and to allow the linebackers to come free and get to the football. Egg. Yeah, I mean, his stats line will never tell the true story of the impact Fletcher Cox is having on a game. You mentioned he's in that inside where times he's gonna be double team every once in a while, if you're

single blocking, that's what's gonna happen. He's gonna get to the quarterback or he's gonna get to that running back in the backfield. And there isn't an offensive line that doesn't want to account for number ninety one every time that defense lines up in front of him. So Fletcher Cox, his his importance can't be quantified by stats. You have to look at the game and watch the impact he's having on others around him, as well as how defenses are trying to key in to make sure they know

where he's at it all times. I just love watching these highlights over and over again of him dominating the middle of the field. Last, but not least, cornerback Jail Mills, mister pick six himself, we've talked about throughout the course of the show, but the route recognition he showed getting to the ball and then setting up the blocks to

make his way into the end zone. He started out his football career in high school as a wide receiver and he wanted to be a wide receiver because his older brother was a defensive back and he didn't want to be like his brother. Okay, but Aaron Fletcher, his high school position coach, basically it was like, look, if you want the challenge, you should come here and try to be better than your brother. And not only that,

you know how easy it is to play receiver. Try to do everything that a receiver does backwards and basically put the gauntlet down for Jail Mills. And that's how he went to the defensive side of the football. And the Eagles got absolute steel in the draft in the seventh round. And if you see just how impressive of a young man he is. Watched this week's unscripted because we showcase his Combine interview from the twenty sixteen draft

exclusive access there. And you know, ever since he's a Roger Philadelphia, he's had the mindset that he was gonna win a job on this football team, and he's elevated himself through the ranks and is now not just a starter, but a playmaker for this Eagles defense. Like, yeah, one of my favorite players. I'll admit it. You know, I root for this guy because he's an underdog and the fact that he doesn't really necessarily view himself as an underdog.

You know, he was a seventh round draft pick, but he's always felt he belonged and you know, you talked to Jamon Mills and none of this stuff it's too big for him. And I think that's what impressed me the most, regardless of the receiver he's going out there, the face. I remember last year he had to go up against Julio Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, his former teammate

at LSU. He likes to talk about planning at SEC and playing for LSU and the amount of good receivers he's a customed to going up against in practice or on Saturdays in college, and that's why he isn't overwhelmed by anything that you throw in front of him. Plays with supreme confidence, understands the game, understands the defense, the concepts of the defense, and probably the more important trait that he has he has a short term memory. If you catch a ball on him, he's not gonna get down.

His confidence remains high and I think his future is right. And let's face it, he might have the best hairdo in the league. That green hair, the nickname the Green Goblin playing for the Eagles. This is truly one of my favorite He's embraced it, He's embraced everything that's come along with it. So now it's time you know why I want you on to vote for exactly yes. So again, go to Philadelphi Eagles dot com slash Toyota Player of the Week to cash your vote and you'll have a

chance at a brand new Toyota. But I think Jalen Mills is the winner this week. So now it's time to look at the Eagles upcoming schedule. Presented by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster. For the only one verify way to buy or sell NFL tickets, visit NFL ticket Exchange dot Com. So the Eagles they face the Denver Broncos next week. Okay, so half of the season. In

the books, eCos are seven to one. They get the Denver Broncos at home to conclude the three game homestand and then they get the buy and then Sunday night gets the Dallas Cowboys. With the Broncos, it should be noted that they play Tomorrow night in an emotional AFC West Division game on the road. So it's short week. They're going on the road for Monday night. They're gonna have to come to Philadelphia for this Sunday's game. It's gonna be a tough sledding for the Broncos, but it's

gonna be a big showdown. That's one I think fans have had a circle on the calendar for quite some time. I tell you, look at this, this remaining schedule, CMAC, and it's about to get fun. Yes, I mean meaningful games over the next two months November December playoff jockey in for the whole league. I look at that schedule. There is in an easy game there. Don't overlook those Chicago Bears coming in a young team with a young quarterback,

but a defense that comes to play every week. I think they did a nice job against the Saints to day down there in New Orleans. I don't know if they won the game, but I know their defense play well. Next week's game against the Broncos, this will be an interesting game for him. We don't get to see the Broncos very often. That's a very good defense. This could be one of those games where the team that takes care of football the best will probably be the team

that comes away with the victory. Because Diver is used to playing in low scoring games, their offense doesn't put up a ton of points. They rely on that defense to take the ball away from you at times. So it will be a nice little matchup. Our offense, which I believe is one of the top five in the league when it comes to scoring points, and then their defense, which is always good year in the year out. This will be a nice matchup. Next week, the Eagles have

to figure offensively how to protect against the Plintz. Yeah, that's gonna be the biggest thing. Everyone's gonna watch this tape and see the success the Niners head and say we're gonna bring the pressure on Carson Wentz Okay, he's doing a phenomenal job of geting out trouble this season, finding the hot route. But we're gonna bring the pressure. We want the second year guy to beat us again. He should be I jumped on me earlier. He should be named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Month for

October one. That's announced later this week, as this is the final weekend for the month of October for NFL games. But nonetheless, just so many interesting subplots. But again, the Eagles, they're gonna be seven to one. Everyone's gonna have them number one in the power rankings after steamrolling the forty nine ers. This is the litmus tess, This is the statement game. This is where they see how far they've come.

Going against a perennial AFC power like the Denver Broncos, with the defense that Denver is going to bring to Philadelphia, it's gonna be a full one. And I know fans are going to be juiced up all week long forward. So how much fun a you're gonna have on the show this week? Chris Carlin ten to two. He's been boring every week, Man, get out of here. Now it'll be fun man two to six, make sure you ip we're talking about another victory. This never gets out and

I'm gonna do this. What eight more copy and paste? Either talk about another one this week? Copy of past, over and over, gon do it again tomorrow. We'll do it all week.
