Welcome to Philly Philly with John Marks right here on PHLY on YouTube, on Roku, listening on the podcast, What is Up Everybody? Yesterday's Eagles win was a rollercoaster. I had Nick Siriani fired multiple times before the end of the game. Even then my brother-in-law, Pete, we were texting and he said, "I don't care if they win, "I'm still firing them." A gutsy win by the Eagles, there's no other word for it, or that's at least the first word that comes in my mind. It was a gutsy win, it was a great win. I'm sure a lot of people will have complaints. I have some complaints myself, we'll talk about all of them today. The reality is that they went down to a very difficult place to win. The Eagles have not fared well in New Orleans over the years and they beat a very good Saints team at home coming from behind. Let's not forget about the fact that AJ Brown didn't start the game. Devontae Smith was out of the game. Lane Johnson was out of the game. McKuy Beckton was out of the game. Nick Siriani was doing his best to get fired with some of his decision making and somehow some way his team had enough, found enough, got it going enough offensively to squeak out with a win. The defense played great. The defense was absolutely fantastic. I did a lot of bitching and complaining last week about this defense. I had a whole running thing right here on my laptop and I didn't delete it. A lot of times after shows, you're like, all right, that was from today. You delete it, boom, and then you add new information. I kept the defensive stats in there all week long, all week long, because they were that bad in the first two weeks. Man, they kept them in the game. You take away, remember this, that first, the first drive of the game, they went 15 plays in 54 yards. Like eight minute drive. And it's like, here we go again. Held them to a field goal, here we go again. And the rest of the way, they only ended up giving up 219 total yards of offense. So really the rest of the way they gave up like another 100, 100, however many yards. It was a, it was a fantastic performance. Jalen Carter looks, looked like the best offensive player on the field. Jordan Davis had a great game. The Kobe Dean even looked good. Reblank and Chip, CJJ made a couple of plays. Kinwan, Kinwan Mitchell looks like a stud, only three games into a professional career. It was an amazing defensive performance. And when you look at 17 games over the course of a season, each game has its own personality, has its own identity. And this one right here is gonna be the Dallas Goddard game. And the defense really stepped up. It's, in particular, it's encouraging because it at least gives you the idea that this defense can be good and it can be better that we've seen. And in fact, it probably is better than what we've seen. Now, I don't know what it takes to make them play inspired football, but they played inspired football yesterday. It was, it was a great win. It was a great win. Jalen Hurts came up, came up huge late. Interception, Greg Olson said that it was, it was Devonte Smith more than Jalen Hurts. I have to talk to the other experts about that. He had a bad fumble. He continues to roll out when I don't want him to roll out, but he was highly efficient other than that. He didn't run a lot, which I always prefer. And he came up late in games. And not only did he come up, did he come up great and huge late? He was throwing the guys like Paris Campbell, Johnny Wilson and Johan Dodson. Tyler's really, were you expecting your top three wide receivers at the end of the game to be Paris Campbell, Johnny Wilson and Dodson? - Yeah, at the end of pre-season game three, I was. Not yesterday. It was, it was an interesting game. It certainly was an interesting game because I think for 49 minutes, 52 minutes, whatever the case may be, we were pulling our hair out and they found a way to win the game. And sometimes in the NFL found a way to win the game is enough in a one week sample size. - Ah-ha, now we said that a lot last year. And we gave it credit. - That's right. That's why I specified in a one week sample size. - Ah-ha, you're right. 'Cause the Eagles were doing this a lot last year and everybody said, and even I got around to being like, all right, listen, they're finding ways to win games. How am I going to keep criticizing them? Well, they found a way to win this game. And to get to two in one, as opposed to one and two, Dallas Goddard and that 61 yard reception that put them in position to score the go-ahead touchdown may have saved Nick Siriano's job. More on that in a second. But I thought Jalen overall played a good game. It's so hard to judge him though. 'Cause he made really nice throws late, but they also had zero points at halftime. I know some of that was Nick Siriano's decision-making, but they also didn't score in the first half of the game. So it gets more and more difficult. You try to use your eyes, but your eyes also say, you're not scoring points. So they found a way to win a game. Jalen was big down the stretch. I'm not going to kill him today. The Dallas Goddard game. I actually, I finally reached the point with Dallas Goddard where I said, he just must suck. He's not just, it has to be that he's not getting open because I don't use them. They haven't used them. He doesn't get targets. You don't hear from them. He may get a catcher or two, a couple of targets. It got to a point where I just had to say, Dallas Goddard obviously can't play and he can't get open because otherwise why would he not be getting thrown the ball? Well, one, they had no other option, I suppose, on the field, at least in the second half after Devonté was sent out, but even in the first half, they looked to him, he was open. The Dallas Goddard game, 10 catches 170 yards. He had catches of 22, 30, 43 and that's 61 yarder that set it up where the Saints players picked themselves and Goddard was just trucking along on that crossing route. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good and Goddard sure got rolling on there. There was nobody near them once the Saints players picked themselves out of it. He also had the, I believe was the third down where he had the one handed catch. He didn't even bring it in with the one hand. He actually caught it with that big left hand that was the first down. He was unbelievable. He was the Dallas Goddard that we saw him play and we talked about him in fantasy drafts. He drafted him up there with the kittles and the Kelsey's and those guys. And then he just disappeared. I don't know if it's Jalen Hurts. I don't know if it's the offense. I don't know if there's too many other targets that need to be distributed. No, you need to get Dallas Goddard involved. He was, he was amazing yesterday. Really, really helped carry the offense was their biggest weapon. Along with Saquon Barkley, who isn't it amazing to have a back that can actually take it to the house that can break it? 'Cause that's what Saquon Barkley is. He's a dynamic running back. We know that he had another huge game yesterday, but also it is, it's with Lyle Sanders who would get 100 yard games with Swift who had a really good year last year. You didn't have the dynamic of a guy that was going to outrun everybody and outrun everybody in the secondary. That's the kind of elite player and speed that he has. It was, in particular, it was good coming off of the dropped pass, how they lost the game against the Falcons for Barkley to bounce back. 'Cause he's that good of a player. So all you giant fans out there, and I haven't shoved it up your butt yet, all you giant fans out there like Sean Marassa, the VFAN. I didn't see you commenting after the game about how Saquon maybe won this game for him with that long run that he had, but man, he is so good. And then even give it to him until the second quarter. His first carry wasn't even until, I think, 13 minutes and 50 seconds left in the second quarter. What a great game plan by the Eagles coming out. But he was amazing. Seven rushes, was that 17 rushes for 147 yards? So far he is 63 carries for 351 rushing yards, three touchdowns, another receiving touchdown, 404 scrimmage yards. That's the most since Shady 11 years ago had 400, or excuse me, 514. So you have a real weapon. So now it's going to be interesting to see what this offense looks like. Devontae Smith out with a concussion. That was a cheap shot. There's so many things to talk about with this game. It's unbelievable. Devontae goes out. That was a, that was a cheap shot. That wasn't a necessary hit. It was clearly helmet to helmet. You worry about his viability for this week. It didn't feel like AJ was close to playing this week. So does that mean they try to rush him back for next week? I wouldn't, I wouldn't bring him back to early. No way, no way. Tyler Zuili, they're going to have to win. And I actually don't think it's a bad thing with this team trying to build, right? It's easy when you have the stars and you're just going to throw it. But man, they had to work for that game yesterday. The resurgence of Goddard and then Sequan Barkley is the exact running back you need when you lack weapons in the wide receiver game. And the offensive line, Lane Johnson was throwing up on the sideline. He had a concussion. That's not good to see. But Britain Covey, I guess Merrill Reese had said this morning on KYW, he thinks he's a broken bone in his shoulder that won't cost him the season. Even Britain Covey, your punt returner, he would have been in there with it. So it is, but we'll see, we'll see this week. But I think it's, you know, it's a, it'll be, I'll be curious to see if they try to get the volunteer AJ back on the field. They got it done. They got it done. I'm going to bitch about next year, Yani coming up a second. They got it done, Tyler Zuili, they got to win. Character win this week by the Eagles. Big win, gutsy win. I'm extremely happy this morning. - Yeah, they did what they needed to do, right? And you talk about all of the injury factors, right? That you talk about Lane Johnson. I'd love to see what the, like the pass rush win share was for the left side of the Saints defensive line. But I thought Tyler Steen did a really nice job at, at right guard. I thought Fred Johnson did a pretty solid job at, at the, at right tackle. To me, this game was one off the strength of Saquan Barkley, being Saquan Barkley, 8.6 yards per carry. And as you mentioned, right? Didn't get a carry until what, into the second quarter, had five in the first half, ends up rushing for over almost 150 yards scores twice. Obviously has the big run that kind of solidifies it for them. But I mean, just an overall really good day from Saquan Barkley and the defense. I crushed the defense last week. I know they only gave up 22 points, but they look putrid at times last week. And, and Kirk Cousins went right down the field. And March down the field with 60 seconds left and won a game. The defense stepped up in a big spot, let yesterday. It is a tough place to play in New Orleans. The Saints scored 90 points in the first two weeks of the season. They scored on 15 straight possessions at one point. And I thought the defense did a really nice job of containing their skill position players, specifically containing Alvin Kamara. Zach Bond was tasked with a lot of coverage out of the backfield on an Alvin Kamara. Alvin Kamara made one really, really nice catch over the shoulder, but Zach Bond was draped all over him. I thought he did a tremendous job on Alvin Kamara out of the backfield. They did a good job of not allowing Rashid Shahid to take the top off the defense. He's a burner. He's beaten teams each of the first two weeks with big plays. They did a really nice job of keeping Derek Carr uncomfortable for a majority of the game. He threw for like 150, 142 yards, one touchdown, one pick. Kamara, he rushed for 87 yards, but it was 3.3 yards a carry. - It was early, I forget when it was, but they had Mitchell beat and was under thrown. Carr under threw it just by like a little bit. 'Cause if you put that out in front of him, it's a touchdown. - Sure. - But like Carr also, like on that last drive of the game, I had no, I had every bit of confidence that he was not going down and scored. Carr had not looked good. The defense really took it to him and Carr looked like Carr at the end of the game. Which is funny because when you go back last week, you went, yeah, okay, the Falcons are scoring on this drive. And to have that instilled confidence on the road a week after you crumbled down the stretch, a week after you got no pass rush, a week after, you know, they went right down the field and Drake London was wide open in the end zone. You really kind of had a statement defensive victory to hold a team that scored 90 points over the first two weeks to 12 points at home. It was a really impressive performance. So you had confidence that they were going to stop the Saints on that drive. - On the final drive, I did. - Which is, I had no confidence. - I agree. - Like if you would have given me that scenario heading into yesterday's game, I'd go, oh, they're going to lose this game again. It's going to be the same loss over again. - That's not the way it played out, you're right. - No, they were playing like, they didn't come back out on the field on their heels being like, oh crap, we're going to lose this game. They came out being like, yeah, we're going to get this guy. - And they went and made a play. - They did. - And Reblankens had made a really nice play on that ball. - You know what, shout out to Reed, and it's a great point. It's something I had noted down. It seems like whenever he, these aren't easy interceptions that are just falling into his lap. He always seems to be around the ball for those ones. He really does. Blanket ship was a good player. He really is for an undrafted guy. Blanket ship can play. He really can. - I mean, like you said, you got a guy who was a UDFA. If an undrafted player makes a roster. - That's a win. - That's a win. - Right, they've gotten a couple UDFA's over the last couple of years. He was one, Eli Ricks was another one who made the team was an undrafted free agent. Now Eli Ricks was a little bit of a different topic because it was kind of weird that he fell entirely out of the draft. I think, you know, a lot of pundits had him in like a fifth round grade, a sixth round grade. So for him to fall all the way out was kind of strange, but they've done a decent job of procuring some talent. - Did you just break the mic? - No, it's broken. The snake has come off before. I feel like I'm back at the fanatic. - Well, the microphone used to fall off of the one thing and I have to hold it like this sometimes. - Freakin' thing. - They've done a decent job of procuring some talent, you know, in the free agent market and late in the draft. But I mean, Blanket ship made another big play. - It's good. - And the defense was really good. I thought the linebacker core was much better yesterday. - The player game was good yesterday. - Bond's good? - Yeah. - So it was an overall really good team defensive performance. - Mitchell's good. Now let me, so let's save this for in about five minutes. And by the way, our show as always is presented by Betparks. Get to the Betparks app right now. And we'll tell you what the odds are, eagles and bucks. Well, I'll do Sirianni coming up here in five minutes, right? 'Cause I don't feel like I have enough time for us to do it right now. The Vante Smith hit, you actually have the video. Clearly unnecessary. If there's ever been, forget about it, even if it was helmet to helmet. Let's act like it is, if he doesn't get a concussion and it's not a helmet to helmet. If he just spears him in the stomach, or just hits him in the stomach, 100% of the time this should be called for unnecessary roughness. You can play it, yeah, play it right now, Tyler. This is yesterday. This is the hit, the knock to Vante Smith out of the game. - Yeah, first stop. - Boy number 97, like comes in from behind again. It looks horrible, it's a terrible hit. Yeah, Christian Boy number 97. - You're watching the play and goes in from behind again. It looks horrible. - Vante Smith, his forward progress had been stopped about five yards before this. He was getting pushed backwards by multiple Saints players. They're more or less holding them up. In the old days, this would be the chance to take a free shot on the player because the whistle isn't being blown. I don't know why the whistle wasn't blown or when it was blown in that instance. It is the definition of unnecessary roughness even if the whistle hasn't been blown. It's totally unnecessary. Forget about the fact that it was helmet to helmet and he went helmet first. That makes it finable and that makes it injectable. When you knock a player like this out of the game on a helmet to helmet, hit whereas helmet goes flying where he's being pushed back, the refs blow on that one. Horrible, I don't know how you miss it. And that's where you should be able to review every play in a game and be able to say, no, no, no, hold on a second. That's a 15 yard penalty. That's an ejection. I don't know how you miss that play. Peyton Turner, can we show this? He spit on him. I don't know if it was intentional and you got to watch this a couple of times. But I saw this and I'm like, did he spit on him? And the idiot even commented on Twitter to the tweet that was put out there. But if we have it, so like he gets up, this is after the hit, it's hard to see. Did you see it Tyler when? Not initially. I mean, I didn't see it at all. You know what I mean? So I had to watch like 10 times to see it. I mean, may or may not have spit on him on purpose. Something definitely came out of his mouth. But so I don't know how they miss that. I don't know how they miss that. That is the definition of unnecessary roughness in the NFL in 2024. And on top of that, Trevor Penning, friggin' meathead offensive lineman, gets a whole of Darius Slay and is blocking him. Now, all right, you get him out of bounds. You want to toss him? That's fine. He blocks him all the way to the bench and he knocks Slay out of the game. And now you have your, who came in? Ringo had to come in 'cause Slay was out. Yeah, Ringo had to come into the game. At the end of the game, by the way. This is in key moments in the game. This is another instance where Penning should have been tossed from the game. Totally unnecessary. And the fact that they knocked an eagle player out of the game from an unnecessary and late hit, they shouldn't be back on the field. Because that didn't give them a first in 25. It moved them back 10 yards, but it was first in 10. The play gave them a first down. But what should have happened was they should start first in 25. It just moved them back 15 yards and made it first in 10. And at that point, I looked at, who was I even watching the game with? But that's not good. Because the Saints, they can march right down. The eagles won't get the ball back in time. Like this just makes it easier for them to wind the clock down. Did anybody else also think the eagles let them score on purpose? Or excuse me, the Saints let the eagle score on purpose on that last touchdown that Barkley went in. They sure as hell didn't give up much of a fight. If you go back and you look at it, I think they did a very good job of allowing SACwan Barkley to score a touchdown. They got the ball back with plenty of time. It's worth going back and looking at that as well. All right, we'll get to Sirioni coming up in a second. And then unfortunately, I'm going to allow Tyler a couple of minutes to talk about what happened with the Phillies in the Mets this weekend. You sure? No, I don't want to talk about it. You have to. No, I don't, it has to be mentioned. I mean, you don't, you don't have to. We could just pretend that it didn't happen. And I will check back tonight when they play the Cubs. But that's what I've done all that's what I've done all weekend is pretend that it didn't happen. It happened. Well, I will say this. I said this to you before the show started. I think that the Phillies got a little bit of a blessing by the Eagles winning that game. Because if the Eagles would have lost, the vitriol would have been very real across the city and then the Phillies lose the way they did last night. By the way, spoiler alert. In case you didn't watch it, the Phillies lost last night to the Mets dropped three or four. The venom that would have been spewed across the city this morning would have been gross. I just don't have like, you've heard me talk about the, the anxiousness and I have in the playoffs. I have a puke bucket when I watch Phillies games. Like right, right now, I don't get this. I don't get this from the Eagles. I don't know what it is. Just even thinking about that series. I'm like, oh my God. Like, why are we doing this? Why are you doing this to me right now? All right, let's talk about it. Let's talk about Beth Parks for a second. All right, man, I was all over that line. Listen, my picks haven't been good so far this year. I'll admit it. All right, I got screwed in a couple instances. But my read on the Eagles has been dead on, right? Beth Park Sportsbook, an unlike casino apps, the only sportsbook app I would ever, ever, ever, ever, ever recommend and that's legit. I've been all over the line. I have. I've been over the Eagles. I thought it'd be a really close game against the Falcons. I thought yesterday would be a close win by the Eagles. It was. And right now, hey, maybe this is a good time to get in on the 50 to one odds boost. Before the rest of the NFL, they say, Hey, you know what? The birds are a good pick.

So Tyler, I, I, I'm not one to why I claim that I'm not patting myself on the back, but when I claim I'm not patting myself on the back, aren't I really patting myself on the back? Yeah, I think so. Right. So I'm not patting myself on the back, but I had said on Friday that if the Eagles lose this game in unflattering style or in a way that they lost games at the end of last year, pardon me as I open up my energy drink. Not brought to you by today's energy drink. Yes. See, like if, if I should have any sponsor on the show, it should be any energy drink that they, they gave to me for free. I would probably read it, but anyway, today's sponsor is gasoline, cheaper than energy drinks. It really is gas is a guy paid two, two 69 a gallon of gas in that trap. The problem is the places like people, the employees smoke weed in the place and they sell. There's like, there's like, like a legal gambling games in there and I think there's anyway. So yeah, so I said it last week and I meant it and I was like, all right, like if they lose this game, he's not necessarily fired, but I think he set himself up to get canned. And with his decisions yesterday, and I don't think anybody that watched the game, whether you're an Eagle fan, you're not an Eagle fan, doesn't come away from watching the Eagles and saying like, they're not a very well coached team. There's a lot of, there's a lot of decisions that are being made that are real head scratches, right? So I, and I believe this and we'll talk about the one major head scratcher from yesterday. I believe that if they don't win yesterday, if Dallas Goddard doesn't get that 61 yard reception, which let's call it like we see it, the sales players ran into each other. They lose that game yesterday. I think Nick Siriani is another week away, like more or less setting up to where if he does it again against the bucks and the Eagles start the season one and one in three, he's going to get fired. And they feel like that yesterday. I had a Tyler. I had a bunch of people texting me saying, you're right. He's going to get fired. It's like, well, the game's not over yet, but that was set up if they lose that game yesterday. What was the percentage chance that it feel like that he was either going to get whacked after the game or more likely he was going to more or less being another bad loss from potentially getting fired? Yeah. So you asked me this question. I think on Thursday or Friday and I said, no, the answer is no, like if they lose, he's not getting fired, but the seat begins to get warm. And I think it gets warmer than it probably already was. If they lose both of those games, then, yeah, you're probably starting to have a conversation. The percentage to answer your question, the percentage was like, I don't know, 15, 1015. If they lose that game right now, it's probably two, but like there's no doubt in anybody's mind that the questions would start to creep in because I think now you would be looking at consecutive losses that could theoretically be placed directly on the shoulders of the head coach's decision-making. So if your players play like crap, you know, if Jalen Hertz throws four picks, if the defense gives up 500 yards, it's total offense, you know, that is what it is. If you were to lose consecutive games on kick the field goal, not kick the field goal on, you know, take the points, don't take the, you know, go for it on fourth down. If you lose consecutive games on that, that's directly impacted by your head coach. I think that that would certainly start to ruffle some feathers a little bit. I think you have to ask a question and I hate using Bill Belichick as an example because I don't think that it makes sense or I don't think that he's a good fit to come in during the season for a lot of different reasons. But if Bill Belichick's the coach against the Falcons to the Eagles win, not the GM. Not the GM. If he's just out there coaching, I'm you, I'm trying to be less about Belichick and more about a competent in game manager. I mean, I don't, I don't know the answer to that question. I would assume that Belichick probably, I assume that more coaches, there's three you know right now without it, without a dummy like next year, veteran coach probably takes the points, a younger, more analytically driven head coach. So I can't say across the board, like, yes, an older, more experienced coach would, would be three. No, that's, that's probably unfair to, to say, but I think that a a any, any semblance of a younger head coach probably is going to go for it there. So let me let, let's talk about the scenario and then I want to talk more about that. By the way, I don't want to sit here and defend next year on a, I thought he was bad last night. No, you're just, you're just keeping it real. Yeah. No, I hear you. And I think it's a good point. I question whether or not he has full autonomy in deciding what they're doing right there, but we're talking about it. So it's fourth, it's not just a fourth and one. It's fourth in a really long one. It's more like fourth and two. So Tuish push here, like, I just watching it real time and I'm like, he's not kicking a field goal. Watching a real time, I'm thinking, I think it might be too far away to get a Tuish push. I was worried about it. So 14 seconds left in the half, one time out. Like Tuish push to say, Juan, and it doesn't work. Downs end of half. So I was thinking about this. So you go forward right there and you pick up the first down, you get three yards, you pick up the first down. You probably have 10 seconds left and use your last time out, which gives you one shot at the end zone. Hey, you've got one play before you settle for the field goal anyway. Is it worth it for one play? If there's 30 seconds left and you pick up the first down, now you get three shots at the end zone. Okay. It makes a little bit more sense. I think in that regard, you don't even need the quote, three shots in the end zone. You're running an out route. You're running a hitch to the corner, you're running a, you know, a post corner route or something along those lines where you can in fact stop the clock. Or even if you're in bounds, you've got enough time to get down to the clock it. And then you've got, you know, maybe you've got 12 extra yards and the field goal is easier. You know, I think you're right in a 30 second, 40 second scenario, you probably, I could conceivably see going forth there. It makes more sense. Another point, it hurts, gets sacked at the end of the half if one of these wide receivers that stink runs right to the goal line and catches the ball, but doesn't get over the end line, the clock, you know, and it'd be like, you need to get a touchdown or an incompletion period or it's the end of the half. Simple as that in, in the scenario, it's not worth it. It's three nothing. You're going to get the ball to start the second half. You take the points and you run off the field. That's it. How about you? I heard so was an interception there. That's also a possibility. That was a fumble in the snap, which we've seen multiple times this year. Who the freak knows? So it actually, it got me thinking, I'm watching the play over and over again. I'm thinking, you know what? You don't run the play that you run, which is a fake push push, unless you're thinking you're going to get more that he wasn't going for the first down. He was going for a touchdown because one play, literally one play to go for a touchdown isn't worth it. And I, so I, then I googled it, I'm like, I remember them doing a fake push push. What was the scenario? And it was a similar scenario, not clockwise. There was four minutes to go in the fourth quarter, but it was a fake push push. They were inside the 10 yard line and it went to, to swift actually, who ran it in for a touchdown. So they use this fake push push and it got them, I think it might have been like a 15 yard touchdown by swift. It was the same exact play. Fake push push run to the left with swift touchdown, run to the left with say Quan Barkley. He was trying to get a touchdown on the play because if he, if he was just trying to get the first down, it's not, it's just not worth it. It's just not worth it. Terrible decision. Also on that drive, and this is, this is bad clock management by Nick Siriani. So Dallas Goddard gets a 22 yard gain, which brought him to the New Orleans 24 yard line, 58 seconds left when he, when it's the end of that play, they have two time outs. He doesn't take the time out. They run to the line of scrimmage, they don't snap the ball for 24 seconds and it's an incomplete pass. So it's a total waste of a down and you, and you lost 24 seconds. So then Hertz goes five yards to Barkley. He goes out of bounds and then he goes to Paris Campbell fourth and one, you take your time out. So like it, you, you in part lost a big chunk of that. You lost all those seconds. You can add 30 seconds left if you take that time out because you take a timeout, you stop the clock, you get organized, you call up a good play for first down and where you're going to go. Instead, you rush to the line of scrimmage. You try to set up and you have an incomplete pass. It's just, it's bad clock management. You had two timeouts. You use one of the timeouts there period. You just do it. It didn't make sense to me right there. And I was screaming timeout, timeout, timeout, timeout. You waste it too much time. You need time is more important right there than, than time outs are. You can throw the ball away. You can throw interceptions. You just can't run the ball if you don't have time outs like that. Who cares? You're through the ball anyway for Christ's sake. So that really bothered me. But just telling you, you have to, you, you have to, you have to take a field goal there. You make it three, three and you come out and you get the ball to start the third, third quarter, which leads me to this question, Tyler. Is he the one making these decisions? I never believed before the Nick Sirianni was the one that was making the decisions, whether or not to go for it going forth down, whether or not to go for it on third and short. Like, like with the push push, I think somebody else upstairs is making the decisions. Didn't they just lose their guy that was doing a lot of these things? Didn't he just get promoted? Was that the guy that got promoted? Do they have a new guy upstairs? Great question. Good. I don't know the answer to. So for like Greg Olson, who by the way, I thought was dreadful yesterday and I normally think he's very good. He had said at one point yesterday, he was talking about how this was Nick Sirianni is doing and this is what he's always did and you have to remain consistent in Nick Sirianni. Man, Doug Peterson started doing this in the Super Bowl season and it wasn't Doug's idea. Trust me, the Eagles have been ahead of the NFL and a lot of different areas over the years. One of the first modern front offices in the NFL was was the Eagles was Joe Banner. They figured out the cap before every, everybody else did. They figured out the cap was, was nonsense with how he rose. I mean, just sign everybody and you cook up these contracts, right? So like with Doug, they were telling them what to do. Analytics told them this is what you do and they want a Super Bowl that year. But so I don't know if Nick Sirianni is the one that's making these decisions. I just want to put this out there and I'm hoping that some of our Eagles reporters can kind of fish around and figure this out. I don't think he's the one that's making all these decisions on the fly. You should be getting help from somebody upstairs. Well, I think everybody else is. I think you should get help from upstairs. My question to you is if, if somebody else is making the determining factor, the determining decision, I think it would be kind of important to find out who this, this person or group of people are, you know, for, for accountability sake, right? Like we're holding the head coach accountable for decision making. We hold the coordinators accountable for, for play calling. We hold players accountable for playing. I think at some point if, if that's the case, if this is above Nick Sirianni's head, I think that, that, that information is what would be, would be useful to have. I don't know. I mean, when you, when you convert the force, we're, we're just talking heads, but when you convert the fourth down, four thousand, nobody says anything, it's great. When you, when you don't convert on that's when everybody's pissed and they're asking why are you doing it? I just wonder if something changed because Sirianni, the one thing that I always said about him was he managed the game well. You didn't have no timeouts at the end of half. Like you did with Andy, clock management was always good. It was the same thing with Doug. Doug was actually good at it too. That's why, that's why I'm, I'm curious if, if they weren't getting a lot of help upstairs with some situational things to do in games with all that being said and, and the talk of analytics analytics can't be used for every single play the same way because not every single situation scenario play is the same, right? If there is more time left on the clock, maybe it makes more sense to go for it on fourth down on that play, right? Like how the defense is playing, how your offense is playing, have you been run blocking well? Are there injuries? All your offensive line? Are there injuries in your secondary a basic strict analytic doesn't tell you what's going on in the game? So that's why I think it's important that you're looking at analytics, but you're going and people say with their gut, yeah, you're going with your gut. You're going with what you're, what the feel is of the game. And what I think next year, you're on a struck out with more than anything over these last two games was the, was the feel for the game. It didn't feel like the right move. It didn't feel like the right move when he didn't take the field goal and he didn't take the points against Atlanta and it didn't feel the, like the right move when he didn't take the points yesterday against the Saints. Like it just, it, he doesn't seem very confident about his decisions. And I don't know, but there's something that's off. Eagles won this game, which is important to note because it was a great gutsy win. It doesn't change where I have major questions. If this team thinks that Nick Sirianni is a good head coach and really are behind him and rallying around them, never when he was getting called out after the flower speech. When he was talking about watering and fertilizing and writing the flowers, I, I called him out for it. I thought it was, I thought it was a, I killed the media. I thought it was ridiculous fodder for a team that was, was stagnant at the time. They had just come off, I believe they had just come off getting absolutely routed by Vegas. They did. It was coming off the Raiders game. And it was to the point where I think the next week was, was it Detroit was the next week? Some, whoever was next, they were a bad team at the time. And, and I basically said you have put a target on your team's back that this is now a must win game because you went out and said something that was stupid. And if, if it doesn't work, you look silly and now they won the game, they ended up winning like what? Five out of the last seven or something to make the playoffs and it started their season. Right. And it really worked for them in, in a good way. So the same thing could be said about the Dan Campbell biting these thing, right? It was stupid at the time, it was like, dude, what is this guy nuts? And you realize that like Dan Campbell's a pretty darn good coach and the lions have had pretty sustainable success over the last couple of years. So in the moment, the, the weirdness, the, like the, the silliness of, of talking about, you know, watering the flowers and watching them grow and planting the soil and we didn't want to hear that after the way that they had just gotten crushed. Yeah. They beat the lions, but then they lost to the chargers. So it's not like, yeah, but they, that I remember that game distinctly Justin Herbert was really good in that game. But so was Jalen hurts it. If I remember correctly, they should have won that game in memory. Right. And I remember looking at that game and going, that's actually not a bad loss because the chargers were playing some really good football at the time. And it was like one of those games where you go, all right, this team battled. They went back and forth with a team that was better than them. They felt like they were starting to click. And in a loss, it wasn't a bad loss. Yeah. Well, so man, I, I think the difference now is, and I worked with Brandon Graham. I did the Brandon Graham show for seven years with them every Monday night. And I remember after that, and it wasn't, it wasn't that, that day, but it was the following week that the players didn't, didn't like the way that Sir Yani was being treated by the fans and the media after that flower stuff. Because I guess like it was explained to me later that sometimes the players, I'm not going to say roll their eyes, but they kind of laugh. But then something about that clicked to where what he was saying was that like right now we're watering everything and we're fertilizing and the grass is going to grow. We just got to wait for it to grow. And those guys were like, why are they killing them? Like that makes sense. It's where we are right now. And they rallied, they rallied behind that. They really did. I don't know if there's any rallying behind next Sir Yani this year. There wasn't last year. That's for sure. I don't know if they're rallying around next Sir Yani. I feel like maybe they feel like he's a dope at this point. I mean, I think that there's, there's probably question marks. I think after a win, it's much harder to decipher, right? Because anybody in the organization is going to say, Hey, we won the game. You know, we do, we went down to New Orleans. We do what we were supposed to do. We won the game. But frankly, we just, we talked about it at the beginning of the, of the show. I think you have to differentiate the fact that your football team, the players themselves, especially the defense and Saquan Barkley and Dallas Goddard put on a performance that was necessary, that was gutsy to win the game. Yeah. And you can also at the same time understand that the head coach cost them at least six points, but probably at least, let me say at least three points. Yeah. Go for it from the 39. I can't. Yeah. I didn't actually, I thought going for it there made sense, but your head coach probably cost you at least three points, right? Maybe you have a little bit more of a comfortable margin. I think you can, you can say those two things existed in the same, the same vacuum. The defense won you the game, Saquan Barkley won you the game, Dallas Goddard was great. Jalen hurts. This decision making was, was much better in the second half. The offensive line played well despite the injury and your head coach made some really boneheaded decisions. He just, I don't, I, I think that, I think that the players on the team look at them and be like, is this really our head coach? I, wait, wait, let's, I, and what we're going to finish with the more Eagles and the Phillies here. I promise we have the Phillies now. What's my first one here?

Anything else on the Eagles before I turn it over to you, let me see here, really worried about the Vante coming back this week. I hope he doesn't. I don't want to say that all players should be required to sit out a game because of a concussion, but all players should be required to sit out a game because of a concussion. Lane Johnson was throwing up on the sideline after he was got a concussion. But Fred Johnson came in and did a good job. Normally if you have a backup offense alignment by the name of Fred, he's not going to come in and play well. Fred Johnson actually played well. It's great that they have some backups, but what happens when Lane Johnson doesn't play in these teams are now game planning for Fred Johnson might be a little bit of a different story. Well, I don't disagree with that. The progress that has been made on CTE studies, the project that has been made on head trauma studies and concussions, especially in football, but it's not just football. It's just football is the bigger one of the bigger ones, but soccer has concussion issues that are like hugely important. And I think football kind of takes the mantle, of course, but like everything that has progressed in the study of the brain and how it is affected after a concussion and head trauma like that, it's pretty scary stuff. I don't disagree with you. I think that obviously players want to get back out on the field and I understand there are levels to concussions in summer considered quote mild, but like still, even a quote mild concussion is still a concussion, it's some pretty scary stuff like to see the long-term effect on your mental health, the long-term effect on your physical health, the long-term effect on everything, you know, you're, I don't disagree. I think there should be almost a precedent of like, you're not playing next week and just it is what it is. It is what it is. Not playing next week. It is what it is. And you know what? Like, yeah, Mike Sock, if he really was okay and they had these protocols, how about just being safe about it? If you're playing a violence sport like that, Ike used to, Ike Reese used to, used to talk about the players in the warrior mentality, but it's, and it's, a lot of it is that your train, like, you know, how many, how many fingers might be in hell or my holding up to all right, get back out there, right? But also from a business standpoint in the NFL, especially if you're a fringe player or a player that's maybe getting reps because of another injury, you come off the field and you let somebody else go in there for you, you may never get that, get your reps back or your job back. That's your opportunity. So whether it's on special teams or it's coming in on defense or offense, the last thing you want to do is like, oh, I got a concussion. And of course it's what, it's one of the reasons why they hide it or they want to come back right away. No guarantee contracts, average, average lifespan in the NFL is what, three years or something like that? Yeah. I think it's two and a half years. Yeah. So like sometimes you have to protect the players from themselves. And I think it's unfair for players because without guarantee contracts, you could lose your job in the, in the NBA, obviously not the same kind of contact, like you, once you signed your contract, that's your money. In the NFL, we know these contracts are nonsense. So there's the mentality of coming back out and playing. And I would probably have the same mentality too. I'm hoping that some of our younger players that are now playing in the league have come up during an environment of, Hey, you have a concussion, no way. You're not practicing this week. You're not playing. Right. Like the cost, the caution is being used, heavy caution is being used. So I will say this, my, my wife works in sports medicine and she is a part of a lot of concussion protocol groups and like, you know, the advancement of the, the studies behind it. I'm going to say this, I have learned probably a percentage point of everything there is to know, right? And even in that percentage point of, you know, one out of a thousand things to know, when you kind of understand some of the, the, the baselines, like the things behind it, it makes it even more worrisome than it already should be. Um, and I think over the last couple of years, like I have heavily leaned relied upon and I get it. Like it's your livelihood. I understand. Like you said, you're, you're worried about your reps and you're worried about your next contract and things like that. Um, but the, the longterm medical, you know, your, your life is, could be, is impacted by it. That, that worries me more now than it ever did because of how much we were learning about uh, head trauma and head injuries like this. Leave needs to protect the players from grief and that's why everybody, the Gordian cups looks so stupid. Yeah. But if they're saving lives, if they're saving futures, that's all that matters to me. Yeah, that's true. Uh, Bryce off also didn't make the stat sheet for the second straight week. No stats. The one play he did, he did have a memorable play. He, I think it was on a Camara, a third down runner or a run. Uh, he went inside and, uh, and Camara took it outside. He tried to, tried to jump it inside and Camara took it outside. That was awesome. Uh, by the way, the, uh, Zach Berman tweeted this out, uh, Bryce Hough played 18 snaps yesterday. 32%. Uh, Brandon Graham got 35. Josh wet got 34, uh, Nolan Smith played, um, I noticed no one Smith in the running game. I thought he did a nice job in the running game. No one's been played 21 on defense. BG, BG pressured, uh, car on that's on the interception and the game. So I've noticed him a couple of times BG overall. I mean, I, I, I don't did sweat. Do anything yesterday. I didn't even, I didn't even look. I don't remember him doing much of anything, but all right. So let's go to our Phillies ace from PHL Y Phillies, Tyler Zulie as the Phillies in the Mets. For the most part, I just kind of avoided, avoided it this, uh, this weekend as much as I could, um, but yeah, they were, uh, they're bad, lose three or four this weekend. They lose on Friday, um, Friday was, or excuse me on Thursday. We talked about it. It was the Taiwan Walker started. It was what it was. They bounced back on Friday and they went on Friday, uh, to bring the magic number down to two, uh, Saturday, they, they lose to the Mets. Uh, the final score was six, three in that one, um, not a terrible pitching performance from Ranger Suarez. One of his better starts since returning from the aisle. He went five. He gave up two, but the command was better. The Vela was up a little bit, but they lose that one six to three yesterday. They get a brilliant performance from Zach Wheeler. He pitches into the eighth. He gives up just two earned runs on seven hits, strikes out a match drum that a really nice job of getting out of the, of the eighth with a runner on first, uh, give up no runs, struck out two, no hits, no base runners allowed. Uh, Philly's had a ton of opportunities, but they lose this one two to one to the New York Mets. Um, I don't know what was more concerning to me, John, in this one, uh, Edwin Diaz came into pitch the eighth yesterday because obviously the, the Mets are playing for their, their playoff lives. And this is a playoff game for them. And, um, they bring Edwin Diaz in and the eighth, he ends up getting a six out save. He gives up three base runners. The command was weird at times because he just like a couple of times over the two walks that he allowed and just basically through non-competitive pitches, but he also threw 30 pitches, 25 of which were fast balls. He struck out four of the six batters he got out and to the lefties, he did not throw a single breaking ball. He basically just challenged the Phillies up in the zone with fast balls. Yeah. They had no answer. So Phillies lose this one, two to one. Um, they get one run in the first inning. They threatened with the bases, load it in two outs. They really had Tyler McGill on the ropes. He did a nice job of getting out of it. JT hit a ball hard, but right at the center fielder, that felt to me like an opportunity to really pounce on a guy early, who had pitched really well. They get one run. It's the only run. They end up scoring. Phil's loses one, two, one. It was a JT that was stealing third and the, and it was a bad throw. And it bounced. It went right off the base. No, it was, uh, I think it was Bryce and Stott. Stott. It bounced right off of the base, like up in the air. If that doesn't hit the base, it probably goes past, probably goes past the third base. I'm not sure he's making that play. Yeah. Cause it was a low throw. If it skims the base, maybe it redirects. If it, you know, I think there were a hundred out of a hundred outcomes, like 97 of them were positive for the Phillies in that instance. They just got one of the three that weren't going to be. Yeah. But you had, you had six hits or five, was it seven hits? It was painful. Uh, it was sorry. Five hits. They had five hits last night. Um, Nick Castellanos, I believe had two of them, um, so did, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I guess uh, no, sorry. Yeah. So did Trade Turner. Trade Turner had two hits as well. So you got four hits from two guys and the rest of the line up had one. They struck out a grand total of 12 times, uh, in this one. It was, it was a pretty lifeless offensive performance from them. Yeah. So the, I, I would say rich, I think rich Hoffman in our, uh, our daily or PHA, PHLY daily, you should check it out cause it's everything you need to know. It's like our sports page for the city and for the, the network. It does a great job with it. Subscribe, go to the website. Everybody says that fillies lose a series that feels worth and worse than it probably actually is. And it's, it was a, it was a difficult, the games are difficult to watch. Anytime you lose three or four of the Mets sucks, but they're in a situation where they're playing for the playoffs and the fillies, fillies are playing. They're, they, they clinched over the weekend, which, which I didn't mention earlier. And, um, and yeah, like they still, an all likelihood are going to win the division to matter of just winning some games that you have to win coming up. Yeah. I mean, they're going to, I mean, barring like a cataclysmic collapse, they're going to win the end of least and they still have a sizable lead over the Brewers for the two seed. Um, you're right. It probably in the grand scheme of things, the Mets needed this series infinitely more than the fillies did. It just, after you find a way to bounce back and win game two, to be, you know, pretty unproductive in game three and vastly unproductive in game four, I think it's going to leave a sour taste in people's mouth because that Wheeler was great last night. I mean, last night it's two, two and we're not talking about anything. Well, they win the division. If you win last night, you know, they clench if you win last night. So I mean, yes, the magic number still at two to win the east 99.9% chance they're going to win the division. Um, but last night was, was certainly frustrating and people had a right to be mad. I mean, it was, like I said, list list, lifeless, whatever kind of, whatever adjective you want to use, it wasn't fun. Yeah. Um, it was not fun at all. All right. Um, so they have this week, like you said, they're going to, it's, it's nice at this time of year because you can, you can avoid gut-wrenching games that like you said, they need to win two games or a combination of magic numbers too. So they'll get it, but like it's just, I just, I like watching baseball. I like watching good baseball. I like watching the fillies. And that's not what I saw this weekend. Um, a couple more things here, before we get out of here, um, see, if you watch Sir Yani, and we don't, we don't have it here, but like it's message after the game. I had some people message me. I didn't see it. I just, again, I don't, they're two in one and like, they deserve credit for finding a way to win that game yesterday, but still it feels like the feel like they're winning in spite of their head coach, because when you don't have an offensive play caller as your head coach, when it doesn't appear like it, it's certainly not as offense. They brought in more for a reason. Vangio's running the defense. So he's probably doesn't even attend meetings for defense. I don't want they, I don't know if they, maybe he's there for me. I don't know. They said he pops his head in from time to time. Does that count for anything? I don't know, man. It is, uh, thank God they won that game because we would, even with the win, I'm sure people are calling for his job right now, which ain't going to happen, but they lose that game then I think you're really, you're really looking at that. All right. So a couple of things here before we get about two minutes to go, Cowboys yesterday, I don't know if you were, if you were watching the end of that game, Tyler, but that, this is your prototypical deck Prescott game where they get behind big and he comes into the fourth quarter. You look at, at the end of the game and it's like, wow, he had 379 yards and two touchdowns and no interceptions. Man, he threw for 275 of those yards late and they were, they were behind, they were behind 28 to six in the fourth quarter. And then they scored a bunch of touchdowns and they made an interesting late, but Cowboys at one and two. How about that? The Ravens were working falling over. Oh, and three arms. Your heart a little bit. Right? My wife said to me, we were watching the game last night, she goes, Oh my God, that is so annoying. The, yeah, here we go. Every play. His cadence. And I said, yeah, you know what I don't understand is how teams haven't started jumping the snap at this point on it. Cause it's, it's pretty straightforward. Yeah. And, you know, I've said a lot of, I've, I've given Dax his, his praise when he deserves it. I know people don't like to cause he's the Cowboys quarterback, but I think he's a good quarterback. Uh, last night was garbage, like if you look at just the box score, it was garbage time stats, right? They almost came back and found a way to win. So, you know, if they win that game, you go, Hey man, tip of the cap, good comeback win. Maybe the Ravens stink. Um, but yeah, I think last night you specifically you're looking at, you're looking at some, some garbage time stats. Well, we'll take the loss one into the Washington commanders tonight. So this is where you have the, the week three double header, 7 30 Jags bills, 8 15 commanders at the bangles. I still don't know why they're competing against each other. They used to do where they had the early game in the late game and they'd be like a west corner clock game or something. So now I guess they figure by the time people get settled in that second game or the teams get settled in like the first quarter, the Jags bills go, go to the half, go to halftime and then everybody switches over. I don't know. I just think it's weird. I'd rather watch both. Yeah, I think it, I think it's, it's, it hurts their, their own product, right? Like, you know, again, like you said, maybe they're trying to get to a point where they, they're hoping they get close to halftime. They watch the first quarter. They go back for the second half and then it's halftime of the second. You know what I mean? Like you're balancing schedules, but it doesn't, it doesn't, I don't understand. I mean, I'm going to pick one game that, you know what I mean? I'm picking one game. Let me give a shout out to a die hard drill fast, die hard shout out to you. Thank you. Yeah. Give me a pick. I would, I would probably say I'm going to watch the Jags and the bills and only probably because I took the bills minus five and our picks this week. And so I got to see that game through. Yes. I'm more, some of these are fantasy implications. I have, I have Daniels on my fantasy team. So I'm, and I think he's really exciting. I'm a, I'm a Josh Allen fan. So I love watching the bills. I, and I, I Trevor Lawrence is the worst. I can't, I loathe watching him play. I'm relying on Bretton Strange for like one point. That's what I need is like one point from him. I didn't even look at my, I didn't even look at my match up this week because I'm up point three and I just, I want to avoid a stat correction. Right. So I'm hoping to get like, you know, a point and a half, two points and just like push myself a little bit further ahead. Uh, bangles minus seven tonight would be the way that I would go in that game. And the bills are minus five and a half. Jags are out with two bills or two and oh, I think this is a jags plus five and a half. So I don't like, I hope not for my picks, but I hope not. I get it. All right. Uh, everybody enjoy, go check out Anthony, his reaction to yesterday's win and a shout out to everybody out there, if you're watching on YouTube, live or whenever, just give us a like comment, make sure you're subscribed to everything.

Uh, if you want to follow me on Twitter, it's at Tyler's only two wells ZULA live. Let's see when you have it, when you have a weird name, last name, like I do, generally you get your, uh, you can kind of just go with your name. It's great. Yeah. That wasn't me when I first started. I had, you know, I, I used T's old 34 for everything growing up. So I was like, I'd use T's old 34. And I was like, one day I was like, you know what, I'm, I'm, I'm a professional now. I probably should have something a little bit more professional. And I was like, let me see, but then you have to spell out your name. You can't say it. And it's, it's part of my problem is I'm, I'm Jonathan, not john. So I go by JON and a marks, not grout show, you know what I mean? So it's like you have to, otherwise they're going to screw up one of the two. If I say John Marks is going to be JON or they could get both wrong. Yeah. For sure. That's why I'm spelling out the last name. Yeah. I get it. Um, but when I looked at it and I said, they said, yeah. Tyler's always available. I went, okay. I guess that's me now. I'll take it. See if I wanted to follow you, I, which is Google, how I thought it was spelled. Let me see if I can do that. Tyler. Let me see. Does it come up? It comes up. If you put Z O O L I Google will say, did you mean? Really? Yes. Well, I'm not important enough to get it. That's good that your top line. So there's, there's one guy, uh, there was a quarterback, I think in like division two with the same last name. And I think he went on to play some like arena ball somewhere or something. Um, but it was me and him were like the top Zulis. I guess. Yeah. And I'm like, I, I'm just a, I'm a guy. I'm just some dude who talks on the air called will zoo for whatever reason is, uh, is second on the thing, because it's a zoo in Tyler, Texas. Oh, okay. All right. Uh, anyway, follow.
