00:00And we saw Jared Goff put up basically 300 yards

00:03through the air on that secondary.

00:05So who's to say he can't,

00:07even if he's limited in some capacity

00:09and he's throwing underneath, he could get to 200.

00:12My thing is, and I know that this is where I am

00:16on an island, Kurtz can get to 200 or 225

00:21any game he wants.

00:24I don't, to me what is happening with the Eagles

00:28is stuff that we've seen happen in the NBA

00:30in that a team is winning not in the way that people want,

00:34so they are only then focusing on that.

00:37Where when teams, remember when teams start shooting

00:39all those threes and they go,

00:41no, no, no, no, live better, three, die better,

00:42three's never gonna work,

00:43we lost the art of the mid-range jumper.

00:45People are upset that the Eagles

00:47don't shoot mid-range jumpers.

00:49That they don't go out there and throw the ball,

00:51throw the ball, throw the ball,

00:53because that's what they're used to.

00:55That's the easy way to grade football teams.

00:58How good's the quarterback?

00:59They're great, right?

01:00We spent the whole year, Cincinnati, man,

01:02I'm telling you, dangerous as it gets.

01:04Why?

01:05Because Burrows lighten it up.

01:06Most people don't even know

01:07whether the defense was good or not.

01:08It's, listen, I'm not even doing the thing.

01:11When people are picking today's game,

01:13well, Jayden Daniels is a better quarterback,

01:14give me Washington.

01:15That's all they're doing, right?

01:17That's what's going on here.

01:19The Eagles have the best rush offense

01:22possibly in league history.

01:24That's what they have.

01:26Lane Johnson's a Hall of Famer.

01:28Milot is an All-Pro, and on the interior,

01:31it's Pro Bowl, Pro Bowl, Pro Bowl.

01:33Jalen Hurts is one of the five

01:34most mobile quarterbacks in football.

01:35Saquon's gonna win Offensive Player of the Year.

01:38And people are obsessed with passing.

01:41So then we go into a game against Washington,

01:44and Washington is, by far, no close second,

01:48the worst run defense that made the playoffs.

01:51They were third in rushing yards allowed per game.

01:55Nobody else in the bottom 10 made the playoffs.

01:57Third in yards per carry allowed on the season.

02:01Nobody else in the bottom 10 made the playoffs.

02:04And we're still sitting here wondering,

02:05hey, can Jalen step up today?

02:08He doesn't need to, man.

02:10He does not need to throw for 250.

02:13If you tell me he threw for 275,

02:19I need, what happened?

02:20That's odd.

02:21That doesn't make sense.

02:23Why would a team get outside of itself?
