00:00Does it feel like this is an off-season early win

00:03for the Eagles entering 2025?

00:06I mean, look, it makes their lives a lot easier

00:10that they don't have to reinvent their own wheel, right?

00:12Like, I think that certainly helps

00:14because you aren't going to stop Jalen Hurts

00:16from getting the ball on third and one

00:18and fourth and one going forward.

00:19You know, look, I think Sean McDermott and the Bills,

00:22they were able to look at this and go,

00:24yeah, we want to ban it because guess what?

00:26Josh Allen doesn't need a push from anybody.

00:29He's 240 pounds.

00:30He's 6'5".

00:31He can knock half the linebackers in the league

00:34on their keister.

00:35So he doesn't need anybody to push him.

00:38What he needs is the refs to get the call right

00:39in the postseason, and that'll change things.

00:42But I digress from that painful moment.

00:44Digress.

00:45Yeah, beyond that.

00:46Yeah, look, the Eagles are going to be tough regardless

00:49with or without this thing.

00:50So they were going to still be able to win the NFC East

00:56and go back to the postseason.

00:58I don't think it really impacted them one way or another.

01:01Again, it's just one less thing they got to do this offseason

01:03instead of coming up with a new version of the tush push.

01:05I thought it would have been really interesting, too,

01:07if the tush push did get banned and the Eagles came up

01:10with a different formation, a different way to sort of go

01:12against those rules and all of a sudden have that chip

01:14on their shoulders.

01:15So I do think more teams should use the tush push here.

01:18But you are looking at the Eagles season.

01:19It's 11 and a half mark.

01:20And also, the NFC East getting the draw of having two tough divisions

01:24and then having a first-place schedule for the Eagles.

01:27The 11th is like, yeah, they should be able to get 12 wins

01:28out of 17 games.

01:30That is a hell-on-wheel schedule that they have.

01:32But at least they do have the tush push.

01:34What's your outlook here for the defending champions

01:36and what they expect to do this season?

01:38It's going to take a Herculean effort to upseat them.

01:40Look, I think Washington regresses.

01:42I think it's really hard for them to duplicate another 10-11 win season

01:45because everybody knows what's coming now.

01:47You know, you can catch people by surprise in year one.

01:49I don't think it happens in year two.

01:51Can the Cowboys stay healthy enough?

01:53Can they keep Dak upright for 17 games to be competitive?

01:57Sure.

01:58Can the Giants not be an embarrassment?

02:00It will be the only question we'll ask about the New York Giants.

02:02But remember, we're here for giggles, right, Jameis?

02:05Thanks.

02:05Beyond that, the Eagles should win the NFC.

02:07He's going to play 3-3 now.
