00:00Yeah, let's do a little Packers Eagles now here. Of course, last year the Packers and Jordan Love

00:04in his first playoff appearance got a win in Dallas, had a lead in San Francisco before they

00:11blew that game in the second half. Do those experiences help Jordan Love as he goes on the

00:16road again to see the Eagles on Sunday? He says, eh, not really. Yeah, I think, you know, I think

00:22it definitely gives you confidence. You know, especially last year gave me a lot of confidence.

00:27I think just the way we played and executed as offense, you know, gave us a lot of confidence

00:33in that time. But like we said, it's a new face, it's a new team, and we got to go out there and

00:38do it again. You know, we can't live on, you know, what we might have did last year against

00:42Cowboys, things like that. So we got to go out there and handle business and execute. But, you

00:48know, that's kind of, I feel like what this offense can be at when we are kind of at our best. So

00:54there's definitely, you know, that's the limit or the level we need to get to.

01:00The problem is the defense they're going up against. It's that simple. Like, I think

01:04Philly's defense is really tough. I saw it in the, you know, frankly, every game they played, but,

01:10you know, firsthand against the Steelers, they just shut them down. I mean, I know that the

01:16Steelers were in that game until Najee fumbled the ball at the 20-yard line of the Eagles,

01:21and that was the end of the game. But I think their defense is a real problem for Love.

01:28I think so, too. And especially with really how inconsistent the Packer pass game has been

01:36for a while now. And I think that that's also because, you know, the Eagles are going to come

01:39in and they're going to key on Jacobs. They're going to slow down the run. They're going to

01:43make Love and those inconsistent receivers try to beat them down the field. Other side of the coin

01:48here is Sirianni. By the way, Hertz has been practicing. He's going to be good to go. Here

01:53is Sirianni. Now, we heard Sean Payton talk about Knicks making his first start. He's played in big

01:58games before, whatever. I've actually thought what Sirianni said about guys playing in their

02:02first playoff game took that even a step further. Here's Nick Sirianni. I mean, these guys are at

02:08the pinnacle of their sport, right? So, some of them have played in state championship games.

02:12Some of them have played in national championship games. Some of them played in rival games that are,

02:16you know, bigger rivals than anybody has ever played in, right? You know, Iowa State's a big

02:23rival for Coupe, right? And so that doesn't mean, you know, one's bigger than the other. Like you

02:27go to a high school football game, you go to Southwestern versus Faulconer and you tell that

02:33that's my team, Southwestern's my team, Faulconer was our rival. You go to that school and say this

02:40game's not as important as a playoff game in the end. Those kids are going to say that game's

02:47important to me, right? There's nothing bigger to me than this game right now. And so these guys

02:51have been playing in these their entire lives. I want them to stick on their process. I want to

02:56stick with what got us here and not think about anything else other than, hey, again, I don't

03:01think it's a winner's mindset to be like, here's what I'm doing different now or here how this

03:05game's going to be different. Screw that. It's about what we do all week. It's about us.

03:10I mean, the fact of the matter is they're a really good team and they have Barkley and

03:14they have a great defense. And if Hertz is okay, he does have options. I mean,

03:21Brown and Smith aren't garbage, okay? So if he's able to throw the ball to either one of them,

03:27they're going to do their thing. I think the Eagles are dangerous. I don't care where they

03:31play in high school football. Hertz was at practice again today, as I mentioned.

03:38So he's going to be good to go. It looks like two days in a row he's practiced for Sunday,

03:43four and a half and 45 and a half are the numbers for the Eagles and the Packers.

03:48So that really hasn't moved much.
