00:00Let's get to it here. I mean guys, let me just start with this truly epic victory. I mean really truly truly just

00:07Truly epic we've seen a lot of eagles games

00:10We've seen some epic through the years, but you don't get it that often

00:14This was one of them part of what and I thought a big part of what made it so epic

00:18Was how um nerve-wracking it was

00:22At almost every juncture of the game. I would honestly tell you to me

00:27Just about the only time that wasn't nerve-wracking was the eagles first possession when they move right down the field and scored you feel good

00:33And then when there was like four and a half minutes to go and say quanta just had the run and you're up by the 13

00:38Points and you feel good for about two minutes until the ramp score and you're like, all right

00:42Hold on. We're back to nerve rack

00:44Other than those couple minutes. I mean guys we were walking on a freaking tightrope as a fan base the whole game

00:53the whole time

00:55And it was scary as hell

00:57But we also knew the eagles were the better team

01:01I believe they would probably find a way to pull it out, but with no certainty

01:06I mean the season was hanging by a thread jalen carter

01:09I really thought at the end of the season at the end of the game. I really thought he saved the season

01:13I'm gonna be honest with you. I thought he saved the season a couple times

01:16I mean, he's got the punch out of coryn williams of the ball

01:19Right in a critical juncture when things have gotten even hairier than they had been

01:24He obviously has the sack on stafford and third down. He has a major pressure on stafford on fourth down

01:30He was awesome. Saquon was awesome gutsy by jalen

01:34Really gutsy by jalen now some good and bad. Obviously, we'll talk about it today

01:38We'll talk about it all week

01:40But tremendous credit for the guts he showed the defense for a to a large extent played a good game

01:45The crowd was there the crowd was into it. The snow was there look just i'm telling you

01:51I've seen a lot of eagles football put this one in the big capital e epic category phenomenal job

02:00Phenomenal job

02:02by the philadelphia eagles

02:05Pulling it out

02:07And advancing to an nsc championship game that I think they will win look

02:11We'll take your calls all show 2 1 5 5 9 2 94 94 not that I take that one for granted

02:16There's some scary elements there

02:18We don't quite know exactly what's going to happen with jalen and his knee

02:21But what a great job by the eagles yesterday your thoughts your calls 2 1 5 5 9 2 94 94. John talk to me

02:29The lions lost to the commanders. We got the nfc championship game here in philadelphia. I thought there was no way

02:38possible this could this could come to pass

02:41And crazy things happen. Yes this time of year. Yes, they do crazy things happen this time of year, but

02:47We are insulated against the crazy stuff because teams that can run

02:53Will win this time of year teams that can play defense will win this time of year. We are winning

03:00Now we need to get real about what needs to get done to finish this thing

03:06I I think I think we're we can be real. Hey, we're playing a divisional opponent that we

03:12Believe we are better than on paper

03:15at our home stadium

03:18For the chance to go to the super bowl. I feel so good about that. I feel so great about that

03:25We have the best odds

03:27To win the super bowl. That's right. I feel so great about that. I agree but

03:34There are certain things that need to be figured out and corrected and and there are certain things that really

03:41Inspired me in this game the things that man

03:45Inspired me. We're no longer worried about extra players in the box

03:50we

03:51on those long touchdowns

03:54Jalen hurts his touchdown. There was a safety down in the box. It didn't matter

03:59Uh, saquon's long touchdowns safety, you know inserted

04:05It doesn't matter if the safety

04:08gets

04:09Fooled by the angle anyway, because saquon is 230 pounds and runs like the wind

04:16It doesn't matter if he's down. It doesn't matter if he's back

04:19We I I love the fact that that we were just calling it and running it at times

04:24I love the fact that you could see on the tv copy

04:28Jalen and saquon

04:30Locking eyes saying holy cow that safety. You know what i'm gonna set up this block on the inside

04:36I'm gonna i'm gonna take the inside zone outside and bounce that there's no way he can catch me

04:42Just for i'm gonna go hit my head on the goalpost

04:45Just for what it's worth because I think there's a little bit of a misconception after the game about that

04:49Saquon said after the game that it was he just didn't know if he was lined up in the right spot

04:54Oh, really? And was communicating to jalen am I lined up? Okay. Oh, well, okay

04:57Let's go with the other one now watch. This was way earlier. Well, let me I got this

05:01Let me tell you what happened

05:03He maybe lined up on the wrong side

05:06The the bottom line was the way saquon set up his blocks

05:10And this is something that every running back coach talks to his running backs about constantly set up your blocks on the inside

05:17He made it look like he was cramming it up inside

05:20He made it look like he was going to cram it twice and then bounced it

05:23So that allowed every one of his offensive linemen to get onto their blocks and stay on their blocks

05:28He does such a great job with all that and he is unstoppable

05:33And we saw that again that that's why we are the super bowl favorites

05:38but

05:39taking seven sacks

05:41Taking seven sacks when you drop back to pass

05:44How many times less than 30 times?

05:47that's

05:49There's a lot of blame to go around there. There's a lot of blame going to jalen

05:53There's a lot of blame going to the offensive line

05:56There's a lot that needs to be fixed on that front

06:01And it's as simple as at times just throw the ball away. Yeah, I mean just a sack destroys a drive

06:09Get rid of the ball

06:11Instead of taking that sack and I know that some of this might be pre-programmed there

06:15This is all part of the grand scheme of this is what works. We don't turn the ball over

06:20He's gonna continue to be this conservative and this is how he does it

06:24Man, I feel like he should have gotten rid of that

06:26Well, I think I agree on that

06:28I think the thing is you just look the knee probably played a part particularly when he came back in the game

06:33And it's in the end zone. How in the world is he even healthy? I can't even believe he came back from that

06:38Look, we guys that's incredible. We're gonna be all ears for what is it? I mean, I don't know

06:42I I was wondering, you know, is it a torn knee? Is it a sprained knee? Like what is it?

06:47Uh, we still don't obviously know something ain't right

06:50I mean

06:51The way the way he got bent was scary and then seeing him move thereafter wasn't good

06:56He did move a little bit more in the fourth quarter than when he initially came in the game

07:00Which was obviously a good sign, but it's a it's a real concern against washington

07:05And it's gonna bring back into question who should be the backup quarterback and all that sort of stuff

07:10But look this doesn't bring anything into question. He's gonna play he finished the game the different issue

07:14I mean, I think that it does bring in a question who the backup quarterback should be. I don't think so

07:19Okay. Well, I totally disagree quarterback who's been the backup quarterback the entire season

07:24Changing that now is that would just fly in the face of everything that this organization

07:29In our poll two weeks ago more people want a tanner mckee to be the backup than picket

07:33So i'm just telling you that doesn't mean that's what the organization does or even consider john

07:38They've been sticking with jake elliot and they shouldn't let me let me put this out there right now

07:41It's time to switch kickers time

07:44I thought about it after the game quite a bit. It was about three hours after the game

07:48You know i'm watching the bills ravens game

07:50And at some point I put on twitter these three words enough is enough. It's it's it's enough. I think it's too late

07:56I think this has been

07:58Managed to the point where it is actually too late to make the switch. I disagree

08:02I think he is his confidence is so shot

08:06I I I can't believe two extra points. Well, I see now it really is a crapshoot every time he takes it

08:13I I know and I I don't think that changing now is the answer

08:17I think you I think you made this bed

08:19You have to lie in it and it's basically don't kick and they probably will when you have the chance

08:24They probably will lie in it

08:25I just I know i've seen the philly stick with mitch when they shouldn't have who was a good pitcher and they stuck with them

08:30We saw the philly stick with craig kimbrell who was a good pitcher and they stuck with them and they shouldn't have

08:35And we're seeing the eagle stick with jake elliot and i'm telling you right now. I think it's a mistake

08:38I I stood by it for a while because you know, we all love jake

08:42He's been a great eagles kicker the whole deal. I hear you john the last couple weeks. I thought yeah, probably too late

08:48Enough. I can't have a miss every game and two misses. I can't I don't want it

08:53So look, um that when you're missing extra points, it's because it's in your head. I agree with you

08:58It is so in his head. I agree and they should have recognized this

09:03They should have made the change but it needed to be in november

09:07All right

09:07So look that obviously is on the table the whole game's on the table the whole weekend's on the table

09:12What lies ahead is on the table the snow if you were down there and the snow experience we would love

09:19To hear the experience from your standpoint in the stands

09:21Major credit to the 70 something thousand that were there screaming their head off dealing with the snow. I mean just what a

09:30phenomenal

09:31And I mean phenomenal win by the philadelphia eagles
