Every single one you can really think of. You know, they run the ball well, UM, Matt Ryan's playing at a high level. UM. And Julio's Julio, you know, one of the best receivers in the game. So UM, big, big challenge. UM. But you know what I think we've when we've had those challenges ahead of us, we've risen up to them. So UM excited to see, uh the way we're gonna play. You know, obviously we're back in the link. UM brings the energy and excited about it.
You know, we're all we're already. Is that just a fluke or is there something that it's tough tough to say? You know, all those games we've had a chance to win. Um. You know, really the only game we played terrible and was the rest Gains game. Everybody knows that. So you know, I think it's just a matter of maturn from those losses and uh coming out with those But you know,
it's always nice to be back back home. UM. And we've got a good stretch coming up of home games within within what our next stake games, so uh, you know it's gonna be nice. A lot of people do say you can learn more from losses and those close, tough late losses. What have you learned and do you believe they can make you stronger when you face them again? Yeah?
Absolutely absolutely. Um. First off, you know we believe, uh where we've lost those games, right, you know, we've been in position in each one of those games to where we could have won the game. A couple of mistakes here, cople mistakes there, but at the end of the day, you know we've had the ball ready to win it, you know, um. And you know with that being the case, that gives you confidence right there. Now, Obviously you have to learn from the mistakes that you've made, and that's
part of the maturity of this team. You know, we've you know obviously, Okay, it kind of gets you know, it sounds like the same song over and over again when you come back after, you know, the day after a close loss and you're talking about, you know, we're so close, we're you know, we've got to get over that. And at this point there's no more excuses. You know, our season go up or down, and we all understand that, so U you know, we have no choice about to
learn from it. Say Jordan that your play has gone up a notch of or less three games in particular. And it's so fair to say that your game has gone up over the last few games in particular, And what would you attribute that to? Yeah, man, I mean, I don't know, man. I'm trying to just put our team in the best position possible, you know. Obviously I'm studying a game plan and you know, trying to key key in on certain plays that I can make. But at the end of the day, I don't change the
way I prepare for any game, you know. I try to be consistent and um, my focus and in the way the way I approach the game. I don't know if you know this, but you're Your four interceptions are most ever by Eagles linebackers first sixteen games, and the most by any Eagle in his first sixteen games since
Eric Allen. But a year in the late eighties a Pro Bowl cornerback, M was that a big part of your where do you how important is is past coverage and that kind of thing to you and making those plays when you have the opportunities, and um, you know, because that's not something a lot of backers do, especially inside backers. You know, I've always considered myself a playmaker. Um, whether you know it's it was really stemming from high
school all the way up. You know, I've I've always kind of been in position to make plays and take a lot of pride in making the plays when they do come. You know, obviously a lot of that is attributed to film study, you know, and you know if you don't put the work in, you're not going to be in that those positions. So UM, you know, I think a lot of it is that, and you know, when when the plays come, it's just you know, I make the place. We knew. We knew Eli was getting
the ball out as quick as he possibly could. Um, and that's no different from last year and the year before, you know, and that's just his game and that's their offense, you know. So that really the mentality was, don't get frustrated because we knew we you know, aren't going to get home right away. Um, when the past rush is rolling is when you know, late in the game, we forced their hand and um, you know obviously we're covering on the back end and we're allowing the front line
to get get going. So uh, you know, I think I think game it changes week to week. Um, game playing the game plan and with that being the case, you know, we'll see what happens this week. The Falcon's offense. A moment ago you kind of explained that what sets have a part um. I think it's it's obviously they've got a lot of playmakers, UM, but I think it's their ability to to run the ball and then there um their action off of their run. Um. You know, if if they can get their run going, it opens
up their entire offense. So it's going to be a huge key for us this week stopping the run, just as every week. But you know it definitely, you know, their pass game is based off of off of being able to run the ball and getting linebackers in the core, you know, running biting on the on the run fakes and um getting guys out of position that way. So you know, as long as we are stopping the run
and forcing their hand, we should be all right. Playing at home, the Umber statistically for your defense are significantly improved at home. Do you have any answers to why, like, what's going on at home it's working so well? I've got that question a lot. I think we all have. Um, you know, I think obviously there's something about playing in the Linkum with the energy with the fans. We feed off of that. But that's that's no you know, no excuse for what has happened on the road, and we
understand that. So you know, obviously it's it's different playing here. Um. You know, I think it's one of the best atmospheres you know, that I've played at in the league. I haven't played everywhere, but one of the best atmospheres I've played at. So you know, obviously, like I said, we feed off of them, they feed off of us, and um, it's a special place we play here, ye
