Post Game Show: Triumphant Thanksgiving

had a little something to say about that. This Eagles running game back to twenty thirteen prime form Shady McCoy twenty five carries for one hundred and fifty nine yards and a touchdown. The Eagles out rush the Cowboys two fifty six to ninety three, and really this game was not even as close as that score. Ike won a performance by this Eagles team. Yeah, Bo, I mean, I

was very impressed with today's effort from the Eagles. I think it's all Chips young tenure here on the road against the team that's eight and three, fighting for the top of the division on a short week, and to come out in a dominant fashion in which they did in all three phases, Cody Parky kicking the ball, allfense, setting the temple early in the game, with the running game, Sanchez on point with all of his passes, and then a dominant performance defense versus the run and the passes.

Day just really a tremendous effort from the full team. With all eyes of America watching, the Eagles proved today that's certainly for now at least, they are the cream of the crop in the NFC East. Mark Sanchez very solid twenty twenty nine for two seventeen and a touchdown. He had over two hundred yards passing at halftime, so that tells you how out of control this game was. He only threw for fifteen yards in the second half. Eagle completely dominated this game from start to finish. And

how about the performance of the Eagles defensive line. They talked all week that they thought they were the better unit versus the Cowboys vaunted offensive line. Well, Fletcher Cox in company certainly proved that today. One performance from him and the rest of his defensive line means yeah, they

talked to talk and they walked it this afternoon. They started this week go off with a little bit of a chip on their shoulder about all the accolades and the praises that were being thrown towards the Dallas Cowboys net offensive line and their running game, and they took it upon themselves. They took out, they took on the challenge head on and came in and dominated this game. DeMarco Murray, I believe had his season low when you look at his rushing yards, you look at the past defense,

there were interceptions there. You look at the past rush upfront sacks from Fletcher Cox linebackers. I mean, Fletcher Cox really solidified had spot in the Pro boll today with today's performance. And we talked about Zach Martin and how great of a job he had been doing his rookie campaign rightfully, so PERFECTA Cox lat even know that this is a big boy game today and welcome to the

NFL for the rookie. And I just like the fact that Tony Romol he never seemed comfortable in the pocket the day when they wanted to throw the ball, when they wanted to run the ball third and two situations. Dallas has been the bully on the block all year long, running the football. They couldn't bully the Eagles the day. Great job from this front seven defending the running. So we are very grateful that you have chosen to spend your Thanksgiving with us here on the postgame show presenta

n Rico as a thanks to you. Here's what we've got coming your way. First of all, you two can be part of the show by tweeting with hashtag Fly Eagles Fly. You'll get your tweet there on the bottom. But more importantly, we've got Ship Kelly's live press conference coming to you from Arlington in just a few minutes. After that, we'll have live press conference coverage of probably

the Sean McCoy and Mark Sanchez as well. We'll be taking your phone calls later in the show Greg co Sell from NFL Phones, who's going to break down some of the key players in this game, and he'll join us later to talk about what's next for this Eagles team as they moved to the final quarter of the season at nine and three. But like you talked about about it before, but Tony Romo never comfortable in this game.

You know, there were a couple times where he sort of took him took sacks upon himself in the face of pressure from the Seagle's defense. Really from start to finish, except for a couple of frustrating red zone possessions at the end of the first half, this was as beautifully perfect a game as you could have driven drawn up as an Eagle fan. Yeah, it really was brow what

I mean you look at Tony Romo. I really played very good football up to this point in the season, doing a great job of taking care of the ball, no critical turnovers, just six hundred sections on the season versus twenty two touchdown versus twenty two touchdowns. And I like the way the Eagles really got him out of his conference zone, had him under durest. He hurried some throws, he overthrew the ball when guys were clearly open, took

a sack when he didn't need to take sacks. There were running lanes available for him, he didn't see him to take advantage of. Oz didn't really seem like he was on his game, and a lot of it was due to the pressure and the rest of he was under from the sea was front. I mean Bill Davis again, short week, nice game plan against this offensive line, in particularly what the Cowboys liked to do in the passing game.

But Jess wasn't there available for him. So Eagles jumped out to a fourteen nothing lead in this game, second week in a row that they have scored on their first possession. Last week, of course, there was the Josh Felf kickoff return, this week a beautiful drive eighty yards down the field, capped by a two yard keeper from

Mark Sanchez. They would then added to fourteen on a nice rolling left pass from Sanchez to George Matthews, rounding for twenty seven yards, and really from then on, this game was sort of out of hand for the Cowboys. They did pull it within fourteen seven, but after that it was all Eagles. Yeah. I think the Eagles really took the Cowboys will on offense with the way that they were running the ball. The up tempo speed of the offense seemed to had the Cowboys defense on their heels.

They couldn't catch their breath, and every time the Eagles needed to pick up a big first down, it seemed like they were able to pick it up, whether it was via the past or to run. It's just so nice to see the defending Russian champion looked like he looked last year for the most part today against this Dallas Cowboy defense. Really really just as good as against

you know, special teams. Not really a big factor in this game obviously, but the Eagles offense with Andrew Gardner at right guard for the second week in a row, they got something going. It seems like maybe they've finally found that combination of guys and with Lashaw McCoy that we've been waiting to see. The last two weeks have been the two best rushing performances of the season for

the Eagles. Maybe they really are starting to find something. Yeah, I thought, I thought Chip stuck with the running game. It seems as if they came in with the idea that they can run the ball against this cowboy front seven. They started off in that first drive, Shady had the big run and they stuck with it. You mentioned Mark, He was able to get a lot of passing yards in that first half. They didn't really need to throw the ball in the second half. It was still a game,

but Chips still stuck with the run game. He saw that they were very effective with it. Shady seemed to be decisive hitting the holes and when he got to the second level, he was making guys miss like we would call a custom to watching him do and so they stuck with it. They controlled the game from that aspect of it. I mean they controlled the tempo, they spared up when they needed to. They slowed it down in the fourth quarter to sort of run the clock

down and eat up a little bit the clock. We know they're not really used to doing that, but I think it was in the second half, just a perfectly called game from a Chip Kelly and Pat Shermon. I'll tell you what also I liked was the chippiness at

the end of the game between these two teams. I'm a really dirty hit from Dwayne Harrison on Nolan Carroll, but that only tells you that the Eagles are certainly not gonna be overlooking the Cowboys, who once again when they come back in two weeks, they're very much gonna be looking forward to getting back out there and proving that tonight was no foot Yeah. I know that hit was vicious bowl and I know the Cowboys eventually were flagged for it. I thought it was a bad flag.

I had a former teammate, Brian Mitchell. He used to make plays like that on kickoff. I mean, punk cover guys as long as he doesn't go as long as he doesn't give the fair catch signal. He's allowed to block and prevent that gunner from down on the ball inside the five, y'all, and I thought the referees made a mistake about calling that flag. But alright, teams loyalties

are stronger than your Eagles. I just want to really clear it up the rule in case, in case one of our guys happened to do it at sub points this season. All right, So we are hoping to bring you a Chip Kelly soon here from from Arlington, but there's really not much to hear from Chip Kelly. Michael Kendricks left the game, um and returned with a with a caff injury or a thigh injury. I forget exactly what it was, but he returned, so he's all good.

Quad one of those things, one of those four letter words, uh and uh. Trey Burton left the game, but you know, nothing big and certainly Chip's not gonna tell us anything much about injuries after the game anyway, as you have learned in his season plus as head coach of the Eagles. So that's just setting the scene there. But we will bring that to you shortly. I want to hear from Lashaw McCoy, who congratulations who won the Galloping Gobbler, the

Fox Award for the Gobbler. I shouldn't even I shouldn't even give it their own word, but whatever the word is. But I guess that's what I just want to hear, because he's been saying, he's been preaching all season long, it's coming, it's coming. And you know that he always sort of bristles at the disrespect to at least perceive to him. So he'll be very happy. He'll be in a good mood for this game. Yeah, no doubt about it.

And it really has been coming. You look at the last six weeks really since Van Matthis returned to the lineup. He didn't he wasn't having the big days that we've seen the last two games, but getting eighty ninety yards those are nice above average days in the NFL today for running backs. You just don't get many running backs going over one hundred yards every week. But because we were so spoiled well what he did for us last year,

we sort of expect that every game. But the running game has been coming along slowly but surely over the last month and a half. And when you pay when you play against an average run stopping defense like they have the last two weeks, not even an average below average run stopping defense as they faced in the Titans and the Cowboys. Shady's going to get his big days. He's gonna get his big days. So we talked about.

Really the only thing that was negative at all from this game was those red zone trip at the end of the first half. Eagles finished the first half just two or five in the red zone. Are you're worried that this is still continuing late in the season, especially against the Cowboys defense that coming in was thirty first

in the league in red zone defense. If this was a team that had trouble scoring from anywhere on the field, Bow I would be worried because I would say, you know what, they're they're missing out on opportunities in the red zone where you have to score touchdowns well, because they can score points and bunches and from just about anywhere on the field. It seems I'm not overly concerned.

Of course, when you play against the better teams, like you're gonna have Seattle come up her next and if they don't play well in the game where you're happen to lose a game, the red zone stops become magnified. But when you score, as they had the last two games, and they could have easily scored forty plus fifty points today had they converted. Though some of those in the touchdowns same as last week against Tennessee. And their defense is playing the way that they're playing, the red zone

mishaps don't seem to be as big. But I'll tell you what, that's just from the outside looking at on the inside, looking at a guarantee you Kelly, he's looking for a way to remedy this red zone issue because when you get down there, you're gonna need touchdowns as opposed to field goals when you're playing against some of the other teams instead of just firing the ball at Raley Cooper when he's get your head around, Riley, what

are you doing look for the ball? Unbelievable, But you know when you are scoring, you know twenty seven year od touchdown passes to Jordan Matthews and well, you know what, here we go, Chip Kelly, happy, Thanksgiving Less. You're up insive line that I don't remember any penalty's dominant against the running game. Yeah, I thought I thought they were clean.

There was best I played this year. You know, obviously we've had a lot of different lineups in there, um, through the course of the season, and uh, two games with this group right now, I thought they did a really good job and obviously set the tone for the day for us those first two drives. That's our guys came ready to play and played with great energy. We were excited about playing. You know, we knew that it

was a non traditional week. Um, we have nothing to do with the schedule, and if you tell us when to player, we're gonna play. I think our guys had a great approach, you know, starting Sunday. You know, there was a lot of guys in the Novocare Sunday night while our coaches were, um, you know, starting to implement the game plan. There was a a lot of guys run around the building doing rehab and recovery protocols. So kind of tells you about the mindset of this group.

We had three really good days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and they were excited about playing, so run the defense winning. Um. I just thought our guys played hard, you know when we knew, especially like I said earlier, in non traditional week you gotta play with a lot of energy and you gotta bring it um. And I thought our guys did see that response off turnovers after the voice fumble, you build into a double. But ye, that's huge, you know,

And that's what we talk about all the time. Just because you turned it over, it doesn't mean that you, uh, you got to give up points. And and I think when our defense can hold them to three instead of seven, it's a little deflating form. So you know, I think I thought our defense played really well all day long. I'm heright over here for us. I'll come back to Casey. Matthews had that sack on th two on that yeah,

big player. I thought Casey did a great job. Obviously didn't have the rotation with Auchocho was up, but if it you know, really, if if we had an injury, we'd have to go totch. But we were trying to see if we could save him a little bit because we do have, um obviously a big couple more really big games coming up here in December. But uh, I thought Casey played really well. I thought the whole group

on defense played really well. Yet the defense, what impressed do you mode when you think about what your intentions were with the game. I thought those guys did a great job of the game plan. Obviously, you knew you're going up against Marco Murray with you know, leading National Football League in rushing, um, you know, and then they've got weapons like Witting and des Brian obviously and Tony so um, and they're they're playing really, really well on

the offensive side of the ball. So I thought our defense overall did a really nice job, especially back that. Yeah, I think Lashaun's just a resilient guy, you know, and we always I've said since the beginning, he's our guy. I thought, he he um, you know, he came to play. He's a big time player and plays big and had a great game down here last year and obviously had another great game against this afternoon. Mark Sanchez, you know, says his play, you know, no mistakes. Yeah, I think

he's just getting more comfortable, you know. And I you know, I said it earlier in the week. He missed an entire year of football, you know, and there's there's no substitution for playing, and then sits for play. Played well in the preseason, but then sat until the Houston games. So you know, I think he's just starting to get more comfortable. It's starting to you know, recognize the looks he's getting sometimes get into a second receiver at third receiver,

keeping things alive. You know, we got him out of the pocket few times that he threw the ball to run real well. Um obviously used him a couple of times and some run stuff, you know, so they couldn't gang up on the back. And I thought he did a really nice job in the decision making aspect of things, keeping people on us. So, um, I thought Mark played a really clean game today. What allowed him to pick up those yards on the ground. We hadn't seen that

a lot in previous weeks. Yeah, they were trying to bend the end and try to take away the back, and obviously when you try to outnumbers the quarterback can be a weapon at certain points of times during the game. So, um, you know, we saw some things. I saw some things from the sideline and just knew that if they presented the same look, there's an opportunity for us to pick up some yards. So I thought he did a good job.

Do you think I don't know if it opened up things because we were doing a really good job Lashawan and the offensive line was doing a good job for it. But I think when the game got into the second half, and obviously you have a lead, we're running the ball. We ran the ball obviously a lot more in the first in the second half than we did in the first half, So you know, you're trying to get them

from ganging up. And when you have the ability for the quarterback to run the ball, when you have shotgun runs, that's one of the reasons you're in shotgun runs because they got to defend the quarterback, and if they don't defend the quarterback, you're gonna get some clean yards out of there. So season, yeah, I mean I've seen the team improve as the season has gone along. And uh, um, you know, we're besides Nick, we're relatively healthy, you know, And I think we've we've we we had our fair

share early and I think we weathered that storm. And I think our guys um are improving. You know. I think that their approach to training on a on a on a daily basis, you know, I think that their daily disciplines, they thrive on those things, and I think

it's showing right now. And I think we're um, you know, we're just getting better, which is good because we're gonna play many from football in December, did you get any sense from your defensive line during the week that they were taking this as an extra challenge, given the fact now it was offensive lines getting a lot of it. I didn't get that sense, you know, I don't. We don't talk about that. We just weren't meeting. We talked about what our game plan is and and that stuff.

We leave that for the everybody everybody else, But we didn't talk about that. And that wasn't It's never been our mottel. Hey, if this guy is good, let's go, you know, crank our game up. I hope you come to play no matter who you're playing, you know. And and again, you can't say, hey, it's a really good team, let's get really excited. Well it's not a really good team, so let's not get excited. And in this league, if that's your mentality, you're gonna get beat, you know, because

everybody's really good in this league. So, um, I think our defensive line has played well all season long. Um, And and again they they rose to the occasion again and against a really good offensive line, against a really good back so manum, they were in too deep. They were in too deep, and and Mark had a great raid. The corner kind of sat and we had sprosy coming out of the backfield, and and uh Mark made a

great decision put the ball in the hole. And and Mac Mac picked up obviously some yards on after the catch. So blis a big matchup for them, I thought, I thought, they both you know, and I've thought they've our corners have played well, you know, and I know Billy feels the same way. The great part of the coaching staff and the players all have the same amount of confidence

in them. So um, I thought, both those guys can him up big against a really really good receiver seeming league Born tonight, as as a kind of a free safety did too. Now, I mean, it just depends on the play called. Both Nate Nate had to pick back there, Malcolm can play back there. Both of our safeties are interchangeable. Um, So it's that that's a great part of it. We

don't have a box safety and a high safety. Both of them can go down depending on what the what what they're doing to us offensively, and that's the great thing about them. Both of them can cover both of them can play high, both of them can play in the box, so it made like a statement and division. As far as we're not into statements, we're just into playing football games. So we've given ourselves an opportunity to

play meaning of football in December and that's it. And in this league, every week, you know, is a whole different deal, whole different animals. So it's no, not at all what's allowing him. I just think Fletch has been just a disruptive force all year long, and we had talked about it earlier again and had a lot of sacks, but that didn't mean he wasn't playing well, and he's been playing at a very very high level. You know, he's a he creates a lot of havoc on the

defensive line, especially in the run stuff. He had a big sack again today. Um, he's just starting to come to him from from a statistical standpoint, But that doesn't mean he wasn't playing well around the year. I think he's been our best defensive lineman all year long and continues to play at that one at level tomorrow. I don't know, well you reported it, so is he less? Is he? Okay? Let's let's has got it. What's the

plan for the next three days. Well, we'll break it down as coaches and we'll get some work done for Seattle and our players are off until Tuesday. Maybe don't look at this as a statement game, but do you think it helps for you build a little confidence after having gone to Green Bay against a very tough team and had a pretty tough day there to cut road against some tough tea. No, I don't, you know. And I think our message after green Bay is the same thing.

You gotta be able to flush it and we gotta be able to flush it and get ready for a really, really good Seattle team. So um, I don't think you'll see anybody on our team throwing their arms out of soccer patting themselves on the back. So Andrew arders a second week's darting would you see from team? You know?

I think he's just consistent, you know, and then that's really kind of what's out and pat and myself felt he's just he's a he's one of those he's kind of like I said earlier, and I said said case se Math is like that. He's steady, Eddie. You know what you're getting from them all the time. He's on his feet. He's a real smart player. He is versatile

because he can play a couple of positions. But I think him and Lane are starting to really get get a real getting sink in terms of playing together and understanding what's going on. So I think the last two games, I think he's played well for us. Nice guys, All right, Well, good stuff there from the head coach Chip Kelly after the Eagles victorious Thanksgiving win over the Dallas Cowboys in first place, the Dallas Cowboys not in first place. That's

that's what I'm thankful for today. Yeah, Yeah, great game, and we'll see these boys again in two weeks. Yeah, So, still a lot of work to be done. We're gonna enjoy it for right now, and still a lot of work to be done. Here on the postgame Show presented by Rigo, we take a break now, but on the other side, we'll have more press conferences. We'll hear from some of the players from Arlington, and we will also

hear from you, the Eagles fans. Just call us two one five, three, two one fifty one seventy back with your phone calls and much more. Right here on the

postgame Show. Bo Wolf and Ikey's back on the Postgame Show presented by Rico and now it's time for the third member of our team to come along, Greg co Cell, the senior producer from NFL Films, and Gregg is going to talk about one of the things that we have seen Mark Sanchez do very well since taking over as quarterback for the Eagles, and that is throwing on the run. We saw that on the twenty seven yard touchdown pass to Jordan Matthews in the first quarter. Greg co Cell

breaks that down. Now, thanks guys. This touchdown to Jordan Matthews of twenty seven yards was a great concept play. It's a concept we've seen a number of times this season from Chip Kelly and it's really effective because it starts with the Chip Kelly staple, which is stretching the perimeter and you can see right here, you're going to see the fake in the backfield on the sweep action to the right, the fake two Lashawan McCoy. Let's lose that. Now.

The second part of the and the main part of this is now you're going to get Matthews right here. He's going to work across the field away from the sweep action, so you're going to get the defense flowing toward McCoy right here and Matthews working across the field. Now they get the perfect defense for this. It ends up being a zone concept cover three. So if we freeze it for one second, you're going to see a single high safety right here ending up in a trail

position versus Matthews. And the key part of this is the backside corner Sterling Moore. He locks up on Riley Cooper and you can do that and cover three, particularly on the back side. This is technically his zone concept, but more locks up man to man here on Cooper and his back is turned to Matthews, so you get Matthews working across the field. There's a lot of open space right here, and Mark Sanchez has been very very good throwing the ball off designed boot action, especially to

his left. Let's play this out. You'll see the really well designed play, a beautiful throw, open space, a touchdown to Jordan Matthews. We've seen this play before, very similar to the touchdown against Carolina. Beautifully designed. All right, thank you, Greg, And now we toss it over to Arlington for the quarterback. Mark Sanchez so efficient and clean. You just kind of talk about the rhythm you guys got in, especially those first two drives. Yeah, Um, you know, we wanted we

really wanted to start fast. We wanted to keep our tempo going, and I thought we got to establish that. You know, really proud of the way we started the game for the offense, but across the board, just an amazing team win and uh, so much more fun when you win this game, so much more fun. So that was that was great defense plays so well against a

really tough rusher and a great offensive unit. Awesome quarterback. Um, a team that's never out of it, you know, no matter what the score says, because with number nine a quarterback that guys, he's really good and he's had some big time comeback. So those guys held up tough. Did you see anyway on the readoption where random somebody said I had twenty seven yards so as better go ice down? Hey thanks, Um, so you know we you just got to read it out and um, you know, continue to

trust it. And that was That's been one of the toughest things for me. So Uh, coach has been great, and that was to be honest. Uh, the one down on the goal line Folds has helped out a lot. Just when we're watching film and watching run plays and stuff, you know, he'll just chime in and say, hey, that's a give, this is a key, this is boom. And when we're watching his film or other guys film that have played Dallas and stuff. So, um, he's been a

huge help. You've seen it. We've seen it with other teams too, and it just depends on if it's right or not. And um, you know, so you just gotta you gotta read it. You only had forty four few yards in Murray rushing touchdown pass the Matthews. Can you kind of take us through it? Uh? Shoot, he ran a great route. We protected the heck out of it and uh got me out of the pocket a little bit.

And just try to keep him going and stride. You know, those are the ones that you know, you try and get too cute on it and you almost slow him up. You want to just take in a rhythm and uh, you know, exhale and let it go. Or the tempo on the first the tempo on the first two drives seemed like it was it was even faster than you had been running. Um up to this point, do you feel like as you get more experience in this offense, you can you can go even faster. And was that

an emphasis today? We hope, so you know, and um, we never want to get complacent with that. You can always go faster, just as coach Kelly, he'll tell you. It feels a lot better to win this game. Can you speak to two years ago and what happened and whether this kind of yeast aside sucked. I ran into some guy's button, dropped the ball in the turf and they scored. I mean, I don't know if it gets I mean, that's like my favorite holiday. So that's not cool.

That's really a bummer. But you know, the game plan was trying not to do that, and we accomplished it. So twenty seven yards is Russian is just icing on the cake. Talks about one game, sixteen one games. Yeah, these the Dallas Cowboys. You mentioned how the people in Philadelphi feel about playing the did you kind of sense and feel back going into that due to this game.

I mean, there's so much put into this game, and that's Um, what's great about Coach Kelly is no matter how big this thing gets on the exterior, for us inside uh, this locker room and stuff. Nothing changed. The ball's the same size, the fields the same size, no matter how big, and and uh, everybody wants to say, you know, this national TV game and this is you know, life or death and all that. I mean, come on, you gotta be you gotta put it in his place.

I understand what it is and then move on. And I'm just really proud of this effort on short such a short week. So um, awesome job by the defense offensive line. It was just really fun, really fun, and we still left a ton of meat on the bone. Man. We gosh, we're in the freaking red zone so many times and we just um, we didn't converse. So we as fun as this is, we'll enjoy it for a couple of days, but we sure have a lot of work to do. People build out here being Dallas will

probably having excite the second healths right now. That was good, yeah yeah, And the end zone was that it's supposed to be a back shoulder faith that just kind of went off a little bit or oh yeah, I mean the guy made a pretty good play and um uh yeah, I just didn't just didn't go in our favor. So I mean he goes over a thousand, Mac goes over a thousand. That's uh, really cool accomplishments for those guys. And uh whoa echo echo test Hot Mike, what is that? Hello? Hello?

That was crazy. We're good. Yeah, I mean both of those guys they hit some um huge milestones, and um, that's awesome. And I know the first thing those guys would say is shady can't do it without the guys up front, without the receivers blocking down field, without uh Gardener stepping up big in the run game. You know that that kind of stuff. Um, they're unselfish players, they're fun to play with, and this is a tight knit group just really is a family, and that I'm happy Thanksgiving.

An exchangement, I think the third word where you made a call a time out of saying something a yeah, I just said, you know, we're a family, and families, uh, you know, get get heated and get upset, and um that's the way it goes, you know. And uh, both of us had something to say. We said it and that was it and no, but it was I mean that's the kind of I'd rather have something like that than a guy that's just uninterested, doesn't care isn't ready to play, doesn't work as hard as keep you know

what I mean that he's playing his butt off. And that's the best part about something like this is neither of us were took it any further. That's it, I mean, right or wrong, we move on because we got another team to play and uh, you know, no matter what, uh, we're gonna we're gonna play together and player butts off for each other, uh, whether we're upset or not. So

that was that was awesome. The storyline of what happened let the last time he played on Thanks Given was kind of played up a little bit heading to this point. Can you imagine that that's so weird? I wonder if at any point did you did you think about that you had time to reflect all kind of worried. No, No, I mean, it's just been an incredible journey. That the whole thing playing in this league, Um, you know, wearing a Jets logo, wearing an Eagles logo, I mean, that's

this is um an absolute dream come true. Um, the best of times, the worst of the times, it's still there. You know a lot of people would love to be in this position. You know, no matter what and uh, it's I'm very thankful. I'm very blessed. And um, you know a lot of family watching back home and just wanted to play well for them, and um, you know, just throwed about the opportunity turnovers today for the first

time since she took over for me. I know that's a focus every week, but we've bedn't turn over versus Carolina. Can you turn it over to them? Okay? Sorry, but come on, man, that was huge. That was huge, and um, you know we uh, you don't turn it over, You're at least gonna give yourself a chance. And that was that was great. It was so fun just to zone. I mean, you know, what do you feel like has to has to work better? Oh? We got to convert and that's better throws, Um, you know, better on uh

in the run game, better in the past game. We gotta get open, I gotta hit guys. It's um, there's there's plenty to work on and some really good film to watch, so we're I know how these guys are. They're going to be enjoying this game. But to be honest, Tuesday can't come soon enough. Thanks. Thanks, all right, Well there you got Mark Sanchez the victorious quarterback three and one now as a starter for the Eagles, two games in which he has not turned the ball over to

blow out victories for the Eagles. Going back to that Carolina game from a couple of weeks ago, all right, our first phone call of the day on Thanksgiving. We stay in Philadelphia, Ernie, Ernie, Happy Thanksgiving? All right, Ernie, You've been holding on that one for a while. If I had me about ten minute, man, but hey, you know, I'm at work. I'm at work. I had I got a chance to watch the game and still was one of my favorite Thanksgivings of all time because of the

way we beat the cow girls. Man, this is awesome. Man, I can't wait. But we still gotta get back on the horse, cowboys horse to get it. That's good. That's good. Still got to get back on the horse. And we still gotta beat through the Seahawk next week. And then we got these cow girls again. So and then we got them again exactly. So let's let's go. Let's let's get a poppy. Hey, bro, I'm waiting for that next whorlf then too. Man, it's coming up tomorrow every Friday, baby,

all right, already all right. Well, you know, listen, all the people who called them last week on the Puss Game Show and said Dallas sucks today, I think God, I think they were right. Yeah, I mean, listen, I love the way the Eagles came into the game mentally and ready to go. You know, they realized what was the stake and if they can get a win down there in Dallas, that puts Dallas behind the eight ball.

That gives the Eagles a little breathing room. They have the one in the bag already, so when they faced this team in two weeks, it isn't such as a must win situation like it will be for the Cowboys, and it would have been for the Eagles had they lost this game. So the Eagles go down there still a victory on the road. The game wasn't a stolen victory. I mean, just to still went on the road in your divisions rival's house. Uh, that's big for you. That's

big for you. You You got Seattle Looman in ten days, and it feels good to have this w in the bag as opposed to coming off of a loss waiting ten days to play a defending Super Bowl champions. So we expect to have both Lashaw McCoy and Jeremy math And at the podium shortly, but we continue on the phone lines with Reggie from California. How are you, Reggie, Georgia GA not c A huh geezy man? What's up, Reggie? And that's who I got on my left hair side.

I've done him well though, Well what you got because we're looking up all right? Thanksgiving party? Yeah, I love it. See when your team wins and you got a bunch of family members over you Cowboys, a couple of Cowboys fans. There are always a couple of Cowboy fans in there. Well. Since since our previous caller, Ernie brought up the Wolfson, I will tell you this, and this is a good insight into the state of mind of the Eagles team

heading into this game. I interviewed Lane Johnson earlier this week under the pretense that this was gonna air on Friday and we were gonna be talking about the game that just happened, even though we didn't know what was going to happen, and he really knew that they were gonna be able to run the ball down the throat of this Cowboys team. You'll be able to read that tomorrow on the Wolfston don't miss that, But for now we take one more break here on the post Game Show.

On the other side, we will bring in a couple of new Eagles postgame press conferences. Jeremy Macklin, Lashaw McCoy. Your phone calls as well. Two five, three, two zero, fifty one seventy all season long, stopped into your local ACME Markets and purchase participating Eagles Kickoff Kid items.

ACME Markets the official supermarket of the Philadelphia Eagles. Bo Wolf and I grace back with you on the Postgame Show presented by Rico. Is spending our Thanksgiving with you the Eagles fans. After the Eagles dominated the Cowboys thirty three to ten on National thank National Thanksgiving for Everybody, National TV on Thanksgiving, everybody in the nation watching just like they're watching this the Postgame Show on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. And we bring in our next caller, Seely

from Virginia. Seely, Happy Thanksgiving, Hey, Happy thanks you man. Dallas sucks. Just to start off, thank you. You know, I just want to say, hey, you know, we really need to get much respect going to this game, and I see you in in a respect it's not given, but it's earned. Kind of stepped up and you know, you know, hey National TV, you know all you heard about was your offensive line ten points National Thanksgiving and cut you off,

Chris unfortunately Thanksgiving, Jeremy Macklin. Time drives and just kind of how you doesn't Okay, you're a great tempo going and some money blowing you up. Um, I was good for us, man. I think that's something that we wanted to do coming into this game. Um, we were able to kind of run the football. It was kind of opened up some stuff for us. And uh after that, we were able to kind of go up tempo a little fast and more we normally do, so we're able

to kind of get the edge. It seemed like the tempo in that first half was as fast as we've ever seen from you guys. Was at a real point of ephasis this weekend. Uh Uh tempo is always a point of infasis. But uh, I think, uh, you know, once we just kind of got in the rhythm, that's we just kept going and going, you know, and that's what we do. Um, we're built for it. Um No, it's definitely good when anytime you come in the road, it's a good win. Uh. But you know that's that's

a lot of stuff we got get better. We gottaet gotta get touchdowns in the rhizome. Uh. You know, we can't keep settling for three Um, so we gotta we gotta fix that. But the milestuff me for you today. Uh it feels good, but uh, you know it's part of playing football. You know about your bank up fifty eight yard catching run there? Um, well they went cover to Um I was able to kind of get in the hole. Um try to make something happen with the ball.

You know, a little mad at myself. I didn't get in, but uh you know I kind of lost my balance a little bit. But uh you know Mark Mark did a good job kind of keeping the safety back and and and finding me. Three months football, sen, Um no, we still got a lot of room to get better. I think we're a good football team. Um to be a great football team. Um. I think we got some stuff we gotta fix up. Um. You know one of the things, uh, like I said, we gotta do, we

gotta get better in the red zone. Got to when you're going at that kind of temper, what do you see across a line of scrimmage from from the other team when when it's going that fast for you guys, Um, you know, it kind of keeps them really basic, you know, it kind of keeps them in uh, um, you know, kind of real simple and uh, you know, we just

kind of run our stuff. So I think that's something we definitely lose our advantage getting out to a big, big lead on the road in front of a pretty you know, fired up crowd and yeah, you know it's huge. You know, it settles us down. It also gives a defense and on next DAYGGS they can kind of uh do some things through some different things at them. We're able to kind of get to roam all a little bit and um, so it definitely changed the whole game. Yeah, I think we got I think we have the ability

to be a great football too. Like I was saying earlier, I just think there's some things that uh, you know, we gotta get better at. But I think, uh, you know, we're here on our stride. You know. Um, you know, a couple of weeks ago, we got a butt speak up in Lambo so um, you know, but you know the great part about this game, you know, you gotta lace up your cleats next week and get after it.

So um, I'm excited about what we do going forward. Uh. You know, he's showed me that he's he's a competitor, you know, obviously he um, you know, he's a professional. He's won this league at high level before. Um. So I think he's done a good job for us. What have you seen from the running game? And it seems like every week you guys are able to run the ball a little bit. Yeah, you know, you know, I think, um, this is what we do. We'd like to running football.

And I think, um, you know, some of the players that I've made down the field, some of the players of Jordan Coop, um, a lot of us have made, Zach Um, it's kind of opened up things a little bit. Now people can't uh you know, you can't stack the

box anymore. We're gonna we're gonna beat you outside. So you gotta you gotta play us, you know pretty much, honest Um, we're gonna're gonna soak This went up for a little bit, but uh, you know, it's gonna gonna be a tough task in them coming in obviously the defending champs, well known players on defense. So I'm excited about that. How much we agree to have a few days off here, you know, just kind of recover a little bit. How it's gonna feel good? You know obviously,

um no plan on a short week. You know, bodies just fatigue, a little tired. But uh, you know, I'll still go in there. I'm gonna take care of myself. But it's gonna feel good. A thousand yards season, one hundred yard game, or are there any milestones that mean a lot to you? Or is it all just kind of holding us holding that trophy over then in the years is gonna mean a lot? So all right, guys, all right, well you have it Jeremy mackin. We will have the Shawn McCoy coming up in a little bit

as well. But you feel good for Jeremy Mackin getting the thousand yards on the season. Obviously, the tough year last year, lost to the tourn acl and he has been really the really the best player on the offense this season. When you think about the fact that let Shawn McCoy has been slow coming here. Jeremy mackin has been the guy to make it run, but they got to make it run today. And who ran it well was Sean McCoy. At what point did you kind of know you it was a big day for you in

the Running Game. I knew we're gonna run the ball. That was the game plan. Um, we kind of put on the big guys front the shoulders to kind of see the game for us and get it back in space to run, you know. And and actually with a big game I had today, I'm missing yards, you know. And then uh, I didn't play like I wanted to play. I mean I played good, but I could pay a lot better. But that's I mean, that's just all about just you know, working hard and getting back to just

where I want to be at. I think as a as a team, as a union. You know, we worked hard in the Running Game to day, kept pushing, kept pushing, and some big ones broke out for us. You have twice as many yards as as the mark up one of the twice as many. I know you measure yourself by a guy like that? What does what does that mean to you? Just to be honest, you know, I feel like there's a lot of you know, good backs, but I don't really I don't really kind of compare myself.

I just tried to play my game. I mean, I can't take nothing from him because he is a heck of a player. And I've always thought that and always said that, Like I said before, you know, talking to him in the Pro Bowl, I was like, man, you know, if they feed you more, there were some some things you could do. And then this had some big games, twenty yard games before, so he's always been a good player. I just don't really get into that whole, especially during

the season, Who's this, Who's that? Because I know where I was staying, Like, you know, they go back and forth about it. I know who where I was staying, um and and the big picture, you know, we're trying to win games. We came here. It wasn't about me or him, you know, I obvious say I wanted to rush him, just a pride thing, but overall I wanted to win the game. And if it happened other way around where he had regards me and we won the game,

you know, that's that's that's cool too. I just think the time of where we're act in the season, all the talk and stuff that you you guys saying about me, about the line and all that mixed up in the season where we need to get a big win and it all worked out and wholesome, guys, So you used to just you know, them guys crashed on the reds because they figure we're rather um live with the quarterback running the quarterbacks. We have the run, then then let

Shady get it, you know. But when he when he pulls it, he keeps the guys honest, keep honest. And I could you know when I get the back and run a little bit, so it helps out said, this was the best game the offensive line play. Yes, did you notice the holes? Yeah? I had so many more opportunities that make guys missed one on one. Um, you know, so much space. So by far, I mean getting up to the blocks wanting to run the ball, giving me space. You know that times I had too much space and

I made the wrong cut. So the game ball really belongs to them guys in front for sure, because they this is about far their best game and again and again back. I mean, now this is kind of like my line again, you know. So let's just here's so much talk. But this this the guys you know that that gets it done. I mean, so that is what it is said. This felt like last year, this game

with the run game. You few that it did. It really did just to hold threads um the space the one on one may guy's miss um they did it felt like last year. Oh my god. I was so pissed because it was a fumble like I try to it was a cloudy holes I try to jump over it and and I had two hands on the ball and a guy helmet on the ground hit the ball out. So I was just really angry, like like real bad. And I never get like that fumble because it happens part of the game. Um, you know, so I had

to make it. I had to make a big play, whatever it takes, like you know, give me a little hole and I promise you I'm a score. Where he played the offenses where the tempo isn't emphasised as it is now you talking about from your perspective running this

kind of tempo. How a heltry game. Oh it helps us out because the defense can't get line up or right um the right way they like how they want to um that the calls they might get in UM, because defense is all about responding and reacting to the offense. We line up over here, they line up over here, so you're going fast. It's hard to get the calls and it's hard to get the blitzes constructed the way you want. UM, and that works in our favor for sure.

Footballs album team, Well, I know we can be at I think we just UM and you're never gonna get a perfect game, but you want something close. UM. Turnovers, you know, we want to kind of limit that myself and speaking about it from doing it today. UM, you know, executing the right way. Those are things that we gotta get better at, and I think we can. Especially the rand zone for sure. In two games that Gardner started the right guard, you had one thirty three and one

to fifty one or or whatever. He's doing a great job, he really is, UM. And it's not just him, it's all of them up front just working together, playing together, um, you know, and and they've been together for a while, and I think just he's did a great job of stepping up and having to play a big role and he's doing it. Um. You know, I think just to play the quarterback and the wide receivers as a whole,

I think helps out the offense, run games statements. Oh, we're reading on the Dogs today for sure, right, how much fourteen sutimes like that? Just I don't know. Gallas gets a lot of hype. Um, I'm sure everybody took them to win. You know, they got good players. But I said alone, we had good players too. We got a good team. They got a good team, and we gotta see him again soon. So I don't want to say too much about them. They're a good team. Um.

I think that every every team has their day. Even when we lost the Green Bay I think that day they were a lot better than us. But I don't think we're playing four, three or four times. I don't think they blow us out. Um, you know like that, So every team has their day. I'm sure that next time we play them will be a tougher game, even though it be in Philly. They're offensive. I'm sorry, they're offensive line got a lot of hype coming dominant male

in the room. Did you sense your guys? You know we're hearing that during the week, and the the Cowboys offensive Bible game from getting so much hype. I mean, I mean, well, they are a good officers line for sure. I think that the guys are from the defense. That's one of the things that Benny was talking about all week, like, hey, they're good, but we're good too, and awesome my guys

up front. I don't think they get enough credit when they're fully all healthy and ready to play, and when they do, like ta tonight, lads, game, they're bawling out. I think just about just being healthy, man, and sticking to it, you know. And sometimes it's hard to say because the pass game might be working, they might be so worried about the run that the pass is working, and Ship he's gonna stick with it like he should

if the run game is working. So, I mean, it's so much to talk about, but at the end of the day, it's all about wins and losses. You know, we're nine and three were number number one, right, so I'll talk about I gotta tell you, if I was shady wearing that jacket, I would not be leaning on the podium. I feel like that's I feel like that's a sweet jacket, but it's a one ware jacket. It's gonna get dirty. I don't even know if that's a sweet jacket about all I know is I'm old. I

know that I can't. Yeah, I can't wear that jacket. I can't wear that jacket. Brother, neither can I. But maybe Chris from New York can wear that jacket. He's on the line, Chris, Happy Thanksgiving, Chris. What's up Chris? And it's going on? Buddy, man, how are you? I'm just saying, watching Shady with that jacket. They gotta start selling at the press shop. Yeah, it looked like he got the Ferrari outside. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. But meet me and my wife Joanna. We're just saying here loving

it man, Like shout out to Joanna's man. Yes, yeah, she's she's like the number one Eagle fan you can ever like I imagine, Like, so, why isn't she the one calling? Oh? Because both I'm the dominant. May just where where Isn't it nice Chris to uh be able to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, enjoy your family and friends today as well as getting a big win from your favorite team. Get some Dallas cowboy, of course, and we also know a couple of Dallas people out there. I'm gonna shout

him out. Ray, you won't pick up, you won't pick up your phone right now, Ray, let's go right Dallas. Yeah, he's it's ay suck. But me, me and Joanna will be at that. We'll be at that Eagles Dallas game coming up. You know you will definitely be there, you know, representing Eagles all the way. And we're from New York, you know, but we love silly there, you know, for give us something your thankful for, Chris. Yeah, what was the best part of your Thanksgiving Day spread? Oh? What

was the best part? Yeah, the best part of food. We're all jealous. Oh man, the best part is when the half, when halftime came in and we was dominating them. Then you know, you know, like when the halftime came, I almost said it might as well hang it up. They might as well hang it up, and just started kneeling right then, you know, thought about it. You're for real.

It's a little boat, ain'tle. There's a lot of work, dude, Like we gave up a lot of red zone, you know, but you know this team is they just play an exceptional right now. You know, we keep it up. I think we got a chance. Hopefully. That's all you ask for is a chance. Sitting into heading into the playoffs. So nine and three through twelve games certainly gives the Eagles a chance and a chance for maybe Lashawn McCoy to continue this role that he's on over the last

two games. We sent it over now to grand Costell, who's going to break down that long touchdown run by Shady McCoy. Thanks, guys, The Eagles inside zone run A beautiful sight to behold when it's executed properly. That was Lashawn McCoy's long touchdown run. Let's take a look at it, and it begins with the offensive line. We're gonna start with Peters, we have Mathis, we have Kelsey, we have Gardner.

Now before we run this, I want to stay on the left of the screen here with Peters and Mathis, because what they need to do is they need to block that defensive tackle and work up to the linebacker level. And they do that beautifully. Matthis is the key player here, and you watch him. He gets up to the second level. Beautiful job. Look at that hole. And then you have Gardener who does a terrific job getting another linebacker. This is really well done. You're gonna see McCoy with that

kind of hole. He's not going to be stopped by arm tackles. This is an inside zone run executed about as well as you can execute it. It starts with the offensive line kind of a spread out box because of the Eagles offense, good angles, good leverage, a beautiful touchdown run by McCoy. All right, thank you, Greg. We're gonna get ready to work you a little bit more because you're gonna replace Ike on the other side here. It's been a fun day. I think you've got a

little bit of the itis. You're ready to go home, take that nap. But I want to ask you what you're thankful for before before we part ways. So much to be thankful for a bowl obviously, great health, to have, wonderful family, wife and kids, wonderful friends. I have a wonderful job. So much to be thankful for. But I'll tell you but at the top of my list, you're gonna do it. I am thankful that I had this job. I have the number one producer in the city most

of you don't get to see. His name is Fran Duffy, does a great job of producing Eagle shows. And I just assured myself I'll be here next Thanksgiving by saying that I'm thankful that I have fran Duffy's you are You are a very smart man, very smart man. Listen to fran Duffy on the Eagle Eye in the Sky podcast and also Eagles Beekly the smartest man in the building. Man, I'm telling you, I agree. I agree. All right. Well, we were back with more on the other side on

the postgame show presented by Rico. Hopefully we'll hear a little bit more from some of the other Eagles in the locker room after the Eagles took out the Dallas Cowboys, and Greg co Sell will join me to take more of your phone calls. Two one three, two zero fifty one seventy. Let's take a look at the Eagles upcoming schedule presented by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster. For the only one hundred percent verified way to buy or sell NFL tickets, visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Bo

Wolf and greco Sell back in the postgame show next week. Greg, We're looking at the Seattle Seahawks, who are currently I think tide zero zero with the San Francisco forty nine ers. Eagles fans, I'm sure going double screen here watching the postgame show and scouting the Seahawks a little bit. But tell me what you think about that possible matchup. What's not a possible matchup? It is a matchup. Well, it's a possible matchup in that it's possible something happens. None

of us are here next week. Okay, so you're gonna you know what happens, Well, maybe the league's canceled Tony. I think, as a lot of people will probably see watching the game tonight, Seattle is not a really explosive offensive team. They're a very simple offensive team. They will relive very much on their quarterback to make plays with his legs, and then you've got to stop Marshawn Lynch and Wilson and Lynch go together because there's so much

shotgun read option, so you have to defend that. That's the starting point for Seattle's offense. They're very simplistic in the past game. They really don't beat you throwing the football. So it really comes down to the ability to stop the run, try to make them throw the football, try to get them to long yardage situations. I feel good about this. Last week here we were talking about the Cowboys and you said, meant to Marco Murray was a

pedestrian running back. Just okay, that turns out. And then today you say that this Seks have a simple offense. They do. Well, that's true. Well both things are true. Really all right, Well that's good. I'm I'm looking forward to the game. All right. We send it out to our old friend Ray from Kentucky on the line, Ray, Happy Thanksgiving to you? What's up? Ray? Y'all got me already birthday present today? Oh Thanksgiving present for you? A few cowboys are turkeys. I want all the guys for

giving me. I really love it, all right, Ray, what was the best part of your Thanksgiving was to spend time with my family and be able to watch the Amen? Amen to them? Thank you Ray? All right? Well, Greg, we haven't really talked to you much about what what transpired in this game, hous So you broke down some of those Trady runs. But what did you think the Eagles did offensively to get the running game going? Well, in all honesty, I don't think they necessarily did anything special.

They ran their plays against a defense. Quite honestly, that's not a very good defense. See, this cowboy defense has been able to be compensated for by the play of the Cowboy offense. Sure. So what the Eagles did by starting out the way they did is they attacked and probably a below average NFL defense and they dominated, which is exactly what they had to do on the road. And by doing that, they sort of took to some

degree the Cowboy offense out of the game. And then when the Cowboy offense tried to run the football, particularly early, the Eagles were very, very good defensively. A lot of those Murray runs int being five or six yards, which keeps you on schedule. Most of them were two or three yards. Maybe, yes, you've got a three yard carry a right, right, particularly early in the game. I think

it's first eleven twelve carry. Well, he ended up I think with maybe three point five, but early in the game seven believe early in the game they were very short runs. So, but I think the offensive tempo and really taking advantage of a below average NFL defense set the stage for this game, set the tone, and it was really offense was really good. Well, last week you told us that you know, Shady was a better running back, pure running back er, markam Ray. How does he compare

to Marshawn Lynch. Who would you rather have? Oh? There see, they're very different, but hard because they're they're very very different runners. I mean, I'm putting me under Shady is a space runner. Marshawn Lynch is a confined space runner. Okay, so it's hard to compare. I mean, there's no back in the end. Off ask what's your favorite fruit? And I understand that an apple is different than an orange, But which would you rather have? Who would you rather have?

Shady or Marshall Lynch. I can only answer that by saying that it depends on your offense. If you're gonna run power in the Greg co cell designed offense, the offense of your dreams. Well, let's put it this way. If you're going to run the Chip Kelly offense, Lashawn McCoy is a much better back than mars Shawn Lynch. If you're going to ask your back to stick it up inside between the tackles, run after run, then mars Shawn Lynch is a better back. So Lashaw McCoy is better.

That's there you go, Okay, All right, back to the phone lines. Kenny from New York on the line, Kenny, Happy Thanksgiving to you. I wouldn't give it to you too, wolf Man. And how are you going to put on the spot like that? Man? That's all right, I can Kenny, I can handle myself. You know, everybody wants simple one word answers to these questions. It doesn't work like that, only because you don't let it work like that. No, because it doesn't work like that. Greg, I love you

on the podcast, man on the Eagle podcast. But shout out a friend, Jeff again. Um it's out to fray um um man, great great beat of the game. I love I love the game playing. Um. We we're looking awesome. I mean, it's a great win today. But you got to get better in the red zone. Man, I need to see more consistency. I mean, you know to you know, be going into December now, mane so we gotta stoll up putting the po We left a lot of meat on the bones one them jobs. Adallace stuck. You lot

have a lot of meat on the bone. And I didn't like that. But you know, it's a great game overall. And you know, um have a great Eagles dating man. All right, you too, Kenny. We'll we'll talk about the red Joe in the second. I want to know, though, what was the best part of your Thanksgiving? We lost you? All right, Let's talk a little bit about the red zone grade because it is the one area of improvement for the Eagles area that they need to improve after

this game. Everything else really went pretty well. Two for five in the red zone, I think, or maybe it was worse than that, but well there you go. On that's not right. Thanks for at least two touchdods in the red zone. But what did you think? How can

they how can they get better in the red zone? Well, I think when they've been at their best in the red zone, we've seen a lot of really interesting play concepts, sure, different kind of play designs, and I think they have to get back to that because I remember, you know, Fran and I because we have to this is Fran show,

obviously religion Fran again. But Fran and I used to talk all the time about the different kinds of route concepts that the Eagles would run in the past game in the red zone that would break down defenses because you know what coverages you get in the red zone. Red zone is very specific. You know what you're gonna get, you know how to break it down again. It's hard to say they've gotten away from that. I certainly can't

say that in this game without seeing the tape. But we saw a fade to Riley Cooper, which I don't know my failing, but I'm not a big fan of fades in the red zone, especially not the rally Cooper. Well, there you go. So I think you want to get back to some of those concepts that truly break down the defense. All right, back to the phone lines we go. Brian from Virginia. Brian, the first question for you? What was the best thing you ate today? Turkey? Nice, good answer,

jell Us. Hello, So what do you think of the game? I love it. I love it. It's like I can't say enough about it. I can't say enough about it. And we had some cowboys fans and there too, they were so married. It was a it was a beautiful thing to watch. Yes the world. Yes, all right, Well, Brian, thank you for your call, thank you for enjoying the game with us, and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Obviously you're gonna wait to watch the tape for this, but I do want to ask if you notice any difference with Andrew Gardner right guard if if anything different is working for the Eagles there. Well, I thought the Eagles all the line played really well as a whole just watching the game, because I thought that McCoy had a lot of space. McCoy's the kind of runner if

he sees initial space. There's no better back in the league than McCoy, and I thought there were a lot of runs in this game where he had initial space. Would you say that Andrew Gardner really puts the guard in Gardner? Are you performing somewhere during this week? Because if you are, they should probably cancel you. That's probably true, But it's Thanksgiving weeks, so there's there's openings for people who necessarily wouldn't have him otherwise a little too much

egnag Apple site or whatever it is. Well maybe after okay, all right, back to the phone lines. Chris from New York. Is this the same Chris from New York or a new Chris from New York? No, No, this is the this is the better Chris from New York. Okay, what's up, Chris? First off, the Cowboys stuck? Thank you quick? Favorite favorite thing you ate today? Favorite thing I ate today? Actually? My apple pie? I love this team. Okay, solid slid.

All right, now to the rest of your call. I mean, since you know I haven't been able to call much, I wanted to say all the people that landed Chip Kelly when he kept these guys that were like, oh, these guys aren't that good. They're just good. Special team inspired well, our special teams as a reason we're eight and three. So I want to give kudos to Chip Kelly for picking special teams players. Absolutely, that's fair, Listen.

They made it. They made a concerted effort in the off season to bring in players to improve the special teams, and the Eagles have had the best special teams in the league this season. There's there's really no question question about it, all right, And I just think a lot of people blasphem them to begin us kudos to Him's happy thanks Giving to you, I Coppy, thanks you in the Battle the Wolfston is actually one of my favorite

things nowadays. No, thank you. I hate to admit it. Well, why would you hate to admit that, because he's a reasonable thinking man. Yeah, well, even reasonable thinking people can enjoy the wolf You'll see you'll have to see it tomorrow on Philadelphi Eagles dot Com. All right, guys, thank you very much, have a happy Thanks you, Evan, and once to the end the Cowboys stuck. All right, thank

you very much. Chris. All right, we'll take we'll take a little break here on the postgame Show presented by Ricco. On the other side, taking more of your phone calls. Two one five, three, two zero fifty one seventy. When you call, be ready to tell us what the best thing you ate today was. And of course we're also gonna hear from some Eagles after the victory the thirty

three to ten domination of the Cowboys. Fletcher Cox and Trent Cole on the way, Oh Wolf and Greco sell back on the postgame Show presented by Rico, and now we send it down to Florida. Jared is on the line. Jared, tell us best thing you y today? Hey? Um, Actually the best thing I had today was punkin Pie. I love punkin Pie, so very solid. All right now, now now what you really call for? Okay? Well, actually, to tell you the truth, I saw Jerry Jones and he

was given out the gobbler. And you know Jerry Jones, I like him. He's a good owner and he's all for his players. But you don't see Jeff Lury a lot. And I think Jeff Lury is one of the best owners in the league. And I don't know why we don't get more he doesn't get more credit for that.

You know, he's been an owner for a while. The Eagles are always competitive since he's owned them, and uh, you know, I mean we always have a good coach, we have good assistant coaches, we have a great organization. And you know, a lot of the other owners, like Jerry Jones, you know, you hear about them all the time. Fine, but you don't hear too much about Jeff Lory. Well, thank you for the college, Jared. We are going to clip that out and put it on the front page

of the homepage on Philadelphagos dot com. But it's true, Jeffrey Learry, you know, a good a good leader stays behind the scenes. And let's let's the people who are supposed to do their jobs do their jobs. Well, I think that Jeffrey Larry probably does not feel as if he's a football expert. Well there you go, he's not the GM. So all right, we sent it down to Arlington. Now, Trent Cole on the line. Trent Cole love Is playing the Cowboys, and what a thanksgiving it was for him

the Eagles Cowboys. How special was this win tonight? Very special? You know, you know it's been it's been a long road man, and teams stay together. We've always faulted in and like I said, it's just it's just a great overall win, you know, and thanksgiving to us going into this little break we got and you know, now let's get get her his focus onto the cl Seahawks. You know, I'm back in the link. I mean it's gonna be.

We can't be no better place to to, you know, just go out here and finis and finished his journey. Why were you guys able to have such success against the markam world early in the game. Um, everybody doing their jobs holding the gaps containment. I mean, guys were playing. It was just we we did what we supposed to do.

You know, We're out there executed on our plays and uh, you know, like guy with him, they want to get the marcol Mry out into you know and getting around on the edges and get him out, and we just kept him containing. You know, he we knew he's gonna went that CNB gap and uh, you know, we just you know, got out there. They went away from the stretch runs that they've been so successful with. Did you notice that through the course of the game that they

stopped going to it? Uh, kind of noticed it. But you know what I'm saying, they wanted to get to the edges. But they you know, everybody was, we was holding edges and everybody was was turning in. And that's what we want to do because you know, we've got guys inside, um Fletcher Cox, Uh, you know, Benny Logan, Uh, Cedric Thornton and any all them guys and and bow and um, Brian Brer. I mean them guys are just uh,

our d lines great, you know down there. You know they they work hard, you know, in practice and and it shows. You know, the guys you know ask you know, he he works as the deck. You know, we work out, We practice with them, you know in the beginning of the practice and uh and uh, you know it all pays off. You know what we do in the days we got leading up to the game, it shows on the field. Fletcher and Benny talked this week about how they felt disrespected by the national media and the Cowboys

offensive line is getting all this attention. What kind of statement do you think they made tonight with their performances? Hey, it's no better better place to be the underdog, you know. Um, they were fueled them guys coming in the game, and

guys are pretty fueled. So next time, if anybody wants to say something, you know, and want to say something about our d line and about their line, you know, like I said, be smart about it, because you're gonna feel them guys, and them guys when they're motivated and got you know, and they got some motivation and this is extra motivation on top of one and going there in the win. So, like I said, let's be smart about how you which you say, well, of course, Eagles

Nation extends throughout the globe. And so now we have a call from Hawaii. It's Becky Joe on the line. Becky Joe, have you even had your Thanksgiving feast yet? Is it is it too early? Oh? No? Turkey and pumpkin pie my favorite? All right, beautiful, beautiful, very jealous. What did you think of the game? Okay, So I love the Eagles. They dominated and as a team they're awesome. I have two sons, one's a Cowboys fan, and assured me that nobody beats the Cowboys on burn Day, and

I said, records will be broken by the Eagles. And you're right awesome. And I gotta tell you, hey, I haven't heard a girl call and Lashawn McCoy's jacket. I love it on white, very classy and I like it too. I just don't think I can pull it off. Oh well it who cares? It looks good. I think you can pull it off. I appreciate that, Becky Joe, thank you very much. I love I love the Eagles, and hey to the defensive line, bar One, I love that guy, all of them. They just go together there as a team.

That's the part that I love about him. Becky Joe, you must be here producing with us because thank you for the calling and happy Thanksgiving to you. But now it's time to transition to that defensive line. What a game for Fletcher Cox. We'll talk about him in a second, Greig after we hear from him down in Arlington, but he has been outstanding all season long. Should be headed to the Pro Bowl. Let's hear from Fletcher Cox, who

walked the walk after talking to talk Fletch. You're tired, but how does it feel demolishing the Cowboys thirty three to time? Man? It feels great. Man. We knew coming in his game that we were playing a real good Dallas Cowboys team, and we knew it was gonna start up front with the D line. And I think we said to town earlier, fed off the offense. You know, they went out first draft school. It was fun. You know, the world watched this game a lot of it because

I think they learned something about your front three. Well, I think they learned a lot. I mean, we played Dallas in two weeks and I'm excited. I'm excited to play them again. Do you think they'll be talking about the Egos front three instead of Dallas is front five? Never know, We're just gonna stay humble about it. Had a quiet confidence like we had all season, and uh, this is get ready to play. But first you gotta play. I gotta play. Got a place, you gotta last a week.

But why did you guys, I mean, you guys are a quiet group. Why did you guys this last few days going into this game and speak up about I mean, sometimes you get fair at Eagles Cowboys? How special? It was just win tonight? Very special, you know. You know it's been it's been a long road man, and uh, teams stay together. We bought fletch. You guys are a quiet group. Why did you guys this last few days going into this game and speak up about I mean, sometimes you get fed up with some type of stuff.

And I'm probably one of the most quiet person in your own I mean I never talked a lot of smack about no what, no team because I know we're in the NFL and everybody's good. So I mean, just at the point this week, but some guys probably got time to hear them about it. You guys spoke up, and I speak for myself. I spoke up, and you know, and I said, um, we didn't get the credit that we deserved. You know, we had to go out and put it on tape. So that was the greatest thing

about it. If you're not gonna play it on take, you been doing that. You guys put your neck out a little bit and on the line, man, don't you think? Yeah? I think everybody played great. Man. The whole defense, collectively, offense, special team did a great job. And I just want to enjoy our days often. Get ready to go on Tuesday, could you send any frustration on on either Murray's part of the offensive line part that you guys are hitting out away? Well, I mean you could tell that later

in the game that Tunnel was just laying down. Um, I think he was kind of hurt a little bit, but we got off him. Knew in the last two weeks that he really never been hit a whole lot of it. He knew that coming into the game that we had to get out after him. Hit him early, hit him off. And as I said earlier in the week, was this your best game as an Eagle? I would say it was one of my best games. But that come off guys during their job, like Trent set Edge

and Counterston Edge and Buny stuff in the middle. It's not just me, it's it's the guys around me to did at their job and you know it kind of made it easy for them. Well, Greg, all weeks this Eagle's defensive line taking unbridge at the coverage and praise heaped upon the Cob his offensive line, they felt that they were disrespected. They certainly played the better of the two today. What do you think of Fletcher Cons's performance really on the season and also this group as a whole.

I think Fletcher Cox has just gotten better and better and better as the season has progressed. You know a lot of people might say, I'm sure Bill Davis would say the same thing, that he'd even be better if he was a three technique in a four to three, But he's he's really played in this three four defense exceptionally well. He's gotten really good as a run defender. He really is able to stack and shed blocks, which

we saw numerous times today. And I think I've told you before, I think this three man D line with Thornton and Benny Logan for the most part this season, has played at a really high level. And I don't think you can say enough about Michael Kendricks now that he's back, because I think Michael Kendricks has a chance. He won't won't be this year, but I think Michael Kendricks has a chance to be an All Pro player.

He has that kind of dynamic physical skill set. There you go, good stuff from from Greg co Sell and now we bring in our final call of the day on the postgame show presented by Rico Thanksgiving the We top it off with Tony from California, how are you Tony, Tony. Best thing you ella sucks? Um. I had some turkey sandwiches today. Sandwich. That's all right, I'll take it. I was just wondering if if that's nineteen eighty five Eddie Murphy was going to ask McCoy for his jacket back. Okay, good,

that's a good line to this. Like that, what you got one more? Let me see now, I'm gonna have to leave that to you, Okay, Salid, What do you think about heading into the final four games of the season at top the NFC East. I think we look good. I'm worried about the red zone a little bit. I think we need to spread the field a little bit. Um. You know, those those dumb passes at sprowsies out in the flats seemed to, you know, be unstoppable. I wish

they would get a little bit more towards that. They seemed to just dive up the middle every time. I think that's I think that's reasonable tone, and we thank you for the call. You know, Darren Spoils and Lashaan McCoy really for them matter, both seem to beat guys almost ninety percent at a time one on one on

the open field. Obviously, those are matchups you'd like to create if you can, but they're I'm not saying that it's not worth trying at times in the red zone, but the red zones tighter, there's not quite as much open field. The defense gets there quicker, and you see the Eagles have a one game lead here, but because they have such a better record within the division and they've already beaten the Cowboys centerhead, it's really sort of

a two game lead on that division. So Eagles in very good shape heading into the final four games in terms of winning. It's very excited about the next game against Seattle. I'm excited too. And what makes you so excited about this game because it's such an interesting clash of style. Yes, because I think Seattle's defense when they play at their best, which hasn't been the case as much this year. Last year they were an historic defense

in terms of the numbers they put up. But it's a defense at its best that's very very difficult to play against, and at its best, it's not a complex defense. So this tempo, I'm not saying the tempo won't bother them. It bothers everybody to a certain degree. But They're not a defense that does fifteen different things. They're not that multiple. They truly do line up and play. They just do

it really, really well with great speed and discipline. So I'm fascinated just from a tactical standpoint as a football guy. With the Eagles speed, tempo offense against the Seahawks fast, physical defense should be a very interesting week in a very interesting game next Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Of course, we will get you ready throughout the week on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com will have more coverage of this victory

over the Cowboys throughout the weekend. Don't miss the wolfstend tomorrow. Gregg, what are you most thankful for? Well, I'm not supposed to be most thankful for fran Duffy well as we all are as we all are, yes, aside from France, that we both worked orange into our wardrobes, and I have to give that a lot of thought. No, Well, you know, when you're when you're married as long as I am, and you have two kids, two great kids who are getting older, you know you'll back on a

lot of really good years. You always wish you could have them back. But you're really thankful that you had them and that there's hopefully many more to come. That was very sweet, very touching. Shout out to the co Sell family. There you go, Thanks for letting us spend some time with Greg on this Thanksgiving. We know, we know that they probably wanted you there, they did, but you know I told him I much rather be with you.

That's well, that is the truth, that's for sure. We thank you for watching on the postgame show presented by Rico. I'm thankful for my family as well. Shout out to all of them, and we will keep you updated throughout the week here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Lots of coverage coming. We will see you next Sunday.
