00:00NFC, Green Bay against Philadelphia

00:03in wild card weekend here.

00:05Jalen Hurts back in play here,

00:08a quarterback for the Eagles.

00:09Mike, what do you think we're gonna get here?

00:12Heard you guys talking about it earlier.

00:16The only way I feel like the Packers can do this

00:21is getting out to a huge start.

00:25And this is specifically Jordan Love,

00:27not like a Josh Jacobs.

00:29We're controlling the clock.

00:30That would be interesting.

00:31But Philly doesn't get nervous in those scenarios

00:34because they're gonna do it right back to you

00:36and hold the ball for nine minutes on a touchdown drive.

00:39So it's Jordan Love getting the ball out to Reed,

00:43Dodge, obviously Watson's out now,

00:46and getting him going early.

00:49Joe, the reason we've been frustrated

00:51with Green Bay recently

00:53is they're getting off to these bad starts

00:55and Love isn't getting involved early.

00:58I don't think they need to establish the run.

01:00If I'm Green Bay, I'm out there.

01:02My first 15 plays are a lot of passes

01:04to a lot of different receivers.

01:08Yeah, I think it's still looking right though.

01:11It's moving to the line.

01:14It's actually five and a half now are starting to pop up.

01:17So the more Eagle money that comes in,

01:20the more it's gonna be very interesting to see.

01:24Ken Green Bay, can they win a game the Eagle way?

01:29I think is the big point, Zen.

01:30Can they grind out a win against the team

01:33that can grind it out, Zeno?

01:34I don't know.

01:37Yeah, I mean, again, I'd hate to say it,

01:40but the way to beat the Eagles sort of is through the air

01:44and then loosen up the run game a little bit.

01:48You have to force them to play from behind

01:51and get them in a negative game script.

01:54If they can just rely on Saquon with a lead,

01:57you may be dead in the water.

01:58Like just from a pure grind it out perspective,

02:01like you can't sit back and hope that the Eagles

02:05go three and out and you can stop Saquon.

02:06You've got to attack through the air

02:08and try to get a lead and try to take Saquon

02:11running on first and second down

02:13out of the game plan for Philadelphia.

02:16You got it, Mike.

02:17You got to want to, if,

02:19do I want to shoot out if I'm Green Bay?

02:22Hell yeah.

02:23Yes.

02:24Definitely.

02:25You do.

02:26Absolutely.

02:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:27You're not going to,

02:28you want to force Philly to have to score points with you.

02:32I'm not saying it's going to be easy to do

02:34and the range of outcomes is low for this,

02:38but I think absolutely.

02:39You want to be pushing,

02:40you want to get Philly's defense off the field

02:43and score points.
