They're gonna look great, Gino. Let's hope they play great. 18 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.830 This is a huge matchup against who is right now. 19 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.160 I think the best passing attack in 20 00:01:05.169 --> 00:01:07.800 football between Mike mcdaniels play calling the way 21 00:01:07.809 --> 00:01:11.529 Tua has been throwing the football this year at an elite level of accuracy. 22 00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:14.260 Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle, the fastest wide receiver duo, 23 00:01:14.269 --> 00:01:16.709 maybe of all time at this point. 24 00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:18.940 It's gonna be a tough test for the secondary. 25 00:01:18.989 --> 00:01:21.059 We're gonna need all hands on deck on offense. 26 00:01:21.069 --> 00:01:24.889 If there was a game to put together a complete four quarter performance, 27 00:01:25.129 --> 00:01:28.900 it's gonna be this one from Jalen Hurtz, AJ Brown, Devante Smith, 28 00:01:28.910 --> 00:01:30.550 Dallas Scott in that offensive line. 29 00:01:30.559 --> 00:01:31.660 Heck even the run game, 30 00:01:32.610 --> 00:01:34.029 it almost feels 31 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.580 like a field goal is losing a drive in this game. 32 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.379 Yeah. Talk about the red zone offense and needing to step up in any game. 33 00:01:40.389 --> 00:01:43.550 You cannot settle for field goals in this 13 points. 34 00:01:43.559 --> 00:01:46.839 Feels like no points when you're playing the Miami Dolphins. And 35 00:01:46.949 --> 00:01:48.480 unless you put together a really good 36 00:01:48.489 --> 00:01:50.839 defensive performance like the Buffalo Bills did, 37 00:01:50.849 --> 00:01:54.169 which I think you could probably limit them 38 00:01:54.279 --> 00:01:57.419 if you could get home to Tua, but it's the pass rush man. 39 00:01:57.430 --> 00:01:59.120 The pass rush means everything in this one. 40 00:01:59.230 --> 00:02:00.260 It does and 41 00:02:00.739 --> 00:02:04.019 the Eagles are so banged up in the secondary man 42 00:02:04.029 --> 00:02:06.400 and we still don't know the status of Darius Slay. 43 00:02:06.410 --> 00:02:07.800 I would assume he comes back. 44 00:02:07.809 --> 00:02:08.919 Same with Sidney Brown, 45 00:02:08.929 --> 00:02:10.399 but we're to the point where we're signing 46 00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:14.009 Josiah Scott off of Pittsburgh's practice squad and 47 00:02:14.139 --> 00:02:14.550 um, 48 00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:17.940 sitting there and saying, are we gonna have to go and get Desmond King, 49 00:02:17.949 --> 00:02:22.550 another Pittsburgh Steeler from a bad team to just come here and play 50 00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:23.300 because 51 00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:25.839 they don't have bodies at this point, right? 52 00:02:25.850 --> 00:02:28.070 It's like when is Chandon Sullivan gonna come 53 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.179 out behind door number three at this point, 54 00:02:30.429 --> 00:02:30.630 Bos 55 00:02:30.970 --> 00:02:31.270 is, 56 00:02:31.929 --> 00:02:34.500 come on down, man, let's have a good old reunion, 57 00:02:34.529 --> 00:02:36.619 but it really does feel like the offense 58 00:02:36.929 --> 00:02:40.580 is gonna be the unit that has to win this football game lou and coming off of that 59 00:02:40.850 --> 00:02:44.119 performance where you only put up 14 points, you know, 60 00:02:44.130 --> 00:02:45.449 they're chomping at the bit and 61 00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:49.139 the Jets defense is good even without sauce and DJ Reed 62 00:02:49.279 --> 00:02:51.619 14 points is probably what you were going to 63 00:02:51.630 --> 00:02:53.919 put up with those two in the game regardless. 64 00:02:53.929 --> 00:02:58.039 Miami does not have that good of a defense compared to the Jets. 65 00:02:58.070 --> 00:03:01.809 They do have some weapons in terms of Bradley Chubb rushing the passer 66 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.589 Xavion Howard is a little dinged up on the back end, 67 00:03:04.610 --> 00:03:06.910 but they still do have a very good secondary. 68 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:07.949 They got a good front. 69 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.289 I think it's a very similar game. I mean, you're going against Vic fan, 70 00:03:11.410 --> 00:03:11.460 Joe, 71 00:03:11.470 --> 00:03:16.720 the guy who was in the building for you last year helping you on your Super Bowl run 72 00:03:16.949 --> 00:03:19.220 in somebody who is a disciple and Shanai, 73 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.460 it's gonna come down to what differs and that's the offenses. 74 00:03:22.850 --> 00:03:23.009 Yeah. 75 00:03:23.020 --> 00:03:23.500 And again, 76 00:03:23.509 --> 00:03:26.190 this pass rush could take over like the Bills did and they were 77 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.839 able to limit the Dolphins to their worst performance of the season. 78 00:03:28.850 --> 00:03:30.690 Hassan Reddick right now is red hot. 79 00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:33.789 So is Josh Sweat even Milton Williams had a great game last week. 80 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.029 So did Jordan Davis, you're getting Jalen Carter back, 81 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.279 hopefully healthy on Sunday night, which is a massive boost. 82 00:03:39.289 --> 00:03:41.389 He's been your best defensive lineman so far this year. 83 00:03:41.399 --> 00:03:43.330 So maybe that's the way you limit them. But 84 00:03:43.710 --> 00:03:47.429 I'm thinking more, it's the offense just needs to step up in a huge way because yes, 85 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:48.869 you might be getting Darius Slay back. 86 00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:50.389 You have James Bradbury, but 87 00:03:51.029 --> 00:03:53.460 I don't know, like Bradbury, this is not the type of matchup. 88 00:03:53.470 --> 00:03:55.770 I love for him against these kind of receivers. 89 00:03:55.979 --> 00:03:57.899 You're banged up in the slot right now. 90 00:03:57.910 --> 00:04:00.039 I mean, is it going to be Josiah Scott starting? 91 00:04:00.160 --> 00:04:04.490 Um, hopefully read Blankenship's back in Sydney Brown, but this to me comes down to 92 00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:07.210 the Eagles just need to score a lot of points and it might be 93 00:04:07.220 --> 00:04:10.360 like that Super Bowl matchup last year where it's who gets the ball last. 94 00:04:10.369 --> 00:04:11.729 I mean, Gino listen to this from Shell Capo 95 00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:14.660 based on success rate and points per game this year, 96 00:04:14.690 --> 00:04:18.250 the 2023 Dolphins offense is performing better than any offense we've seen in 97 00:04:18.260 --> 00:04:21.850 the last 10 years through six weeks of the season like they are. 98 00:04:22.190 --> 00:04:22.480 I mean, 99 00:04:22.489 --> 00:04:25.160 they're kind of the 49 ers of the AFC right where it's like 100 00:04:25.170 --> 00:04:27.619 it almost feels not to discredit too well because he's been great, 101 00:04:27.630 --> 00:04:27.980 but 102 00:04:28.089 --> 00:04:30.140 it's almost like plug and play with how good Mike 103 00:04:30.149 --> 00:04:33.160 mcdaniels and those two receivers have this offense running. 104 00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:38.630 I find it funny that after we had our motion discussion yesterday over at, 105 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.260 yeah, we're playing the Dolphins and Seth Walder over at ESPN Analytics puts out 106 00:04:43.579 --> 00:04:44.420 a list today. 107 00:04:44.429 --> 00:04:47.589 The top three teams when it comes to motion, Miami Los Angeles, 108 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.079 the Niners and Detroit, 109 00:04:49.510 --> 00:04:53.859 probably the four best teams outside of the Philadelphia Eagles right now. 110 00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:55.820 When it comes to offense, I would say, 111 00:04:56.269 --> 00:04:57.579 and then you look at the bottom 112 00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:03.369 29 New Orleans Saints, 30 Las Vegas Raiders, 31 Philadelphia Eagles, 113 00:05:03.380 --> 00:05:04.799 32 Dallas Cowboys. 114 00:05:04.809 --> 00:05:06.859 The Eagles are second last in motion 115 00:05:07.059 --> 00:05:09.029 in the entire NFL Lou. 116 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:10.559 And you look at a game 117 00:05:10.779 --> 00:05:12.329 against Minnesota 118 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.609 where you were in that position where you were banged up in the secondary 119 00:05:15.619 --> 00:05:19.994 and you saw the lapses in communication on the back end when guys are just 120 00:05:20.095 --> 00:05:22.915 moving all across the formation, that's what we talk about. It's like 121 00:05:23.045 --> 00:05:26.445 the last thing you want to deal with with Tyreek Hill is him 122 00:05:26.545 --> 00:05:29.434 having to change your assignment to guard him 123 00:05:29.674 --> 00:05:34.635 right before the play is called because that's when he gets loose. I mean, even 124 00:05:34.970 --> 00:05:37.670 if he's over on the trip side to the field 125 00:05:37.679 --> 00:05:39.940 where you're gonna run quarters and you're gonna run quarter, 126 00:05:39.950 --> 00:05:40.420 quarter half. 127 00:05:40.429 --> 00:05:42.559 So you're gonna have four guys over to that side, 128 00:05:42.690 --> 00:05:44.519 even if you try to bracket him, 129 00:05:44.630 --> 00:05:47.640 he's so good at finding space to sit in 130 00:05:47.910 --> 00:05:49.640 and if he just has a little bit of it, 131 00:05:49.950 --> 00:05:52.779 the way that you overcompensate to take away the vertical threat 132 00:05:52.790 --> 00:05:54.959 of him is you're gonna back up and then boom, 133 00:05:54.970 --> 00:05:58.510 he just sits underneath and two is on him and then the yards after the catch happens, 134 00:05:58.519 --> 00:05:59.480 I know that's the thing is like, 135 00:05:59.489 --> 00:06:01.529 I'm trying to think of how you defend this type of heat. 136 00:06:01.726 --> 00:06:04.105 Like offense, you send the house and just say screw it. 137 00:06:04.115 --> 00:06:06.675 Let's just try to get the 20 beforehand. 138 00:06:06.805 --> 00:06:07.256 But I, 139 00:06:07.265 --> 00:06:10.675 I think honestly what you need is you just need this fourman pass rush to take over. 140 00:06:10.686 --> 00:06:13.816 You're just gonna need, I don't know if scheme is gonna do it for, 141 00:06:13.825 --> 00:06:16.075 from a defensive perspective, you just need your person. 142 00:06:16.085 --> 00:06:17.186 I'll, I'll play them and, 143 00:06:17.316 --> 00:06:19.415 um, you know, hopefully Darius Slay can come back and 144 00:06:19.596 --> 00:06:21.376 the issue is even with Slay and Bradbury, 145 00:06:21.385 --> 00:06:24.446 they've been so up and down this year that can you guarantee that you 146 00:06:24.455 --> 00:06:27.365 get a 2022 like performance from those guys when you need it most? 147 00:06:27.376 --> 00:06:28.126 I mean, hope 148 00:06:28.302 --> 00:06:28.782 but 149 00:06:28.902 --> 00:06:32.611 yeah, this is a, a daunting matchup for sure, but it's not like Miami is this 150 00:06:32.731 --> 00:06:35.032 unbeatable team Geno where they should be favored 151 00:06:35.041 --> 00:06:36.571 by 10 plus points against the Eagles. 152 00:06:36.582 --> 00:06:38.832 It's a home game. You're wearing the Kelly Green. 153 00:06:38.851 --> 00:06:42.541 Your offense for the most part outside of last week has been heating up lately, 154 00:06:42.552 --> 00:06:46.212 like you have equally as dangerous of a wide receiver duo 155 00:06:46.221 --> 00:06:48.332 than I would actually rather have an AJ Brown and Devote 156 00:06:48.492 --> 00:06:48.911 Smith. 157 00:06:48.921 --> 00:06:50.691 So, um, you know, I, I think it's again, 158 00:06:50.701 --> 00:06:54.872 just gonna come down to your elite units playing better than their elite units. 159 00:06:55.670 --> 00:06:59.440 That's really what it's gonna come down to. And I think a lot of the time we talk about 160 00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:01.899 winning man on man matchups. 161 00:07:01.910 --> 00:07:03.220 Yes, the Eagles can do it, 162 00:07:03.230 --> 00:07:06.549 but at the same time looking at the offense on the other side of the ball, 163 00:07:06.559 --> 00:07:09.850 a lot of it comes down to how good Mike mcdaniel is in scheming up his 164 00:07:09.859 --> 00:07:13.660 offense and helping out those guys when they can't win the man on man matchups. 165 00:07:13.670 --> 00:07:13.910 And 166 00:07:14.390 --> 00:07:16.910 I think Brian Johnson, man, hopefully 167 00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:18.980 some of those hard discussions that Nick 168 00:07:19.239 --> 00:07:20.179 Ceriani talked about. 169 00:07:20.390 --> 00:07:21.660 We're understanding, hey, 170 00:07:21.670 --> 00:07:25.339 we are playing an elite offense we saw at the pinnacle 171 00:07:25.350 --> 00:07:27.190 last year when we tried to win a Super Bowl. 172 00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:29.380 What happens when you go against an elite offense 173 00:07:29.619 --> 00:07:31.489 and you even sputter for a little bit. 174 00:07:31.929 --> 00:07:34.019 It's like a formula one driver and just like 175 00:07:34.260 --> 00:07:36.179 they oversteer on one little lap and they have 176 00:07:36.190 --> 00:07:38.010 to correct themselves in just a little turn. 177 00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:39.600 It's like that's what a field goal feels like. 178 00:07:39.609 --> 00:07:43.690 It's like even slipping up around a little bit of a curve is gonna slip you up. 179 00:07:43.700 --> 00:07:45.059 And Brian Johnson man, 180 00:07:45.070 --> 00:07:48.380 like what a week to come out there and empty the 181 00:07:48.390 --> 00:07:51.829 bag because you're going against Washington next week after this game, 182 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:52.040 right? 183 00:07:52.186 --> 00:07:54.526 They already have tape on you. They already know what they're gonna see. 184 00:07:54.835 --> 00:07:57.645 Just dump everything out against an opponent that you 185 00:07:57.765 --> 00:08:01.085 know that you're not gonna see hopefully for the next four years 186 00:08:01.346 --> 00:08:03.686 and in a game that frankly, 187 00:08:03.946 --> 00:08:07.515 this could be maybe a repeat come February, like, 188 00:08:07.526 --> 00:08:09.276 let's see where you stand in the league. 189 00:08:09.455 --> 00:08:12.902 It does feel like it could get that way. Maybe another idea to Geno is 190 00:08:13.082 --> 00:08:15.812 the way to stop this offense is just, don't let them have the football. 191 00:08:15.821 --> 00:08:16.812 I mean, let's get on these 192 00:08:17.992 --> 00:08:20.731 10 to 15 play drives where they're milking more 193 00:08:20.742 --> 00:08:22.682 than half of a quarter with deandre Swift. 194 00:08:22.691 --> 00:08:24.571 I mean, that might be another idea too to, 195 00:08:24.701 --> 00:08:29.032 you know, kind of win that time of possession battle would be massive for the Eagles. 196 00:08:29.041 --> 00:08:30.622 We'll continue to get into this matchup coming up 197 00:08:30.631 --> 00:08:32.591 next right here on the Lockdown Eagles podcast. 198 00:08:35.669 --> 00:08:38.268 And guys today's show is sponsored by ebay Motors. 199 00:08:38.278 --> 00:08:41.648 Our partners at ebay Motors have teamed up with locked on Fantasy football host, 200 00:08:41.658 --> 00:08:45.369 Vinnie Wire to bring you some of the best Fantasy picks each week, all season long, 201 00:08:45.379 --> 00:08:48.609 whether you're prepping for a daily draft or scouting the Waiver Wire every week, 202 00:08:48.619 --> 00:08:51.809 we're gonna provide you players that are guaranteed, fit on your roster. 203 00:08:51.818 --> 00:08:54.869 So let's see who Vinnie has picked out for us on this week's ebay's guaranteed 204 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:59.239 fit fantasy picks of the week and it's Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London, 205 00:08:59.380 --> 00:09:01.400 who's finally starting to show why the Falcons drafted 206 00:09:01.409 --> 00:09:03.280 him in the first round a couple of years ago 207 00:09:03.289 --> 00:09:06.109 with a loaded 2022 class him and Desmond Ritter 208 00:09:06.190 --> 00:09:08.169 Gino have been heating up the last two games. 209 00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:11.659 He's caught 15 of 21 targets for 203 yards. 210 00:09:11.669 --> 00:09:14.599 Kyle Pitts still remains a ghost in that offense. 211 00:09:14.609 --> 00:09:18.280 London is really the only go to guy in a, of course, a run heavy offense, 212 00:09:18.289 --> 00:09:20.229 but with the way Ritter's been playing the last few weeks, 213 00:09:20.239 --> 00:09:23.000 I kind of like London as a wide receiver too in fantasy. 214 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.119 It always seems that Atlanta just has one guy that they favor 215 00:09:28.270 --> 00:09:30.479 each week and it's not Kyle Pitts and 216 00:09:30.690 --> 00:09:32.409 London just feels like that guy man. 217 00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:35.090 And I really like his game too because he's, 218 00:09:35.169 --> 00:09:37.679 he's almost like a Michael Pittman to me where he's a bigger body 219 00:09:37.690 --> 00:09:41.099 but he can snap his routes off so well and he's a possession. 220 00:09:41.109 --> 00:09:42.049 He's a deep receiver. 221 00:09:42.059 --> 00:09:45.515 I mean, really whatever you want out of him for a young Desmond Ritter. 222 00:09:45.526 --> 00:09:47.216 If Desmond wants to keep his job, 223 00:09:47.445 --> 00:09:48.846 that's a guy. I'm going for 224 00:09:49.096 --> 00:09:51.695 the Drake London. Drake London is the guy man. 225 00:09:51.935 --> 00:09:52.935 Vinny Wire from lockdown. 226 00:09:52.945 --> 00:09:55.416 Fantasy Football is gonna help you win your Fantasy championship. 227 00:09:55.426 --> 00:09:59.056 And ebay Motors knows a championship team is about each player being a perfect fit. 228 00:09:59.106 --> 00:10:01.216 Same with your vehicle with over 100 and 22 229 00:10:01.226 --> 00:10:03.156 million parts for your number one ride or die. 230 00:10:03.286 --> 00:10:06.481 You can make sure your ride stays running smoothly, break kits, led headlights, 231 00:10:06.492 --> 00:10:08.711 roof racks, bumpers, whatever your baby needs. 232 00:10:08.721 --> 00:10:11.242 Ebay Motors has it with ebay.

The two Alabama boys. 255 00:11:09.789 --> 00:11:12.429 Tua goes in for Jalen Hurtz in the national 256 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.669 championship after Hertz gets benched and you know, 257 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.190 Tua has his big moment, but it's like it's kind of cool too because 258 00:11:18.380 --> 00:11:18.789 that was kind of 259 00:11:18.895 --> 00:11:22.075 the heel turn for Jalen. That was almost his moment too. I don't know if 260 00:11:22.344 --> 00:11:26.835 the Eagles would have the quarterback they have today if that moment didn't happen. 261 00:11:26.934 --> 00:11:31.075 Which is huge to say because for most quarterbacks and most people in life, 262 00:11:31.085 --> 00:11:34.405 if they kind of dealt with that kind of situation, most don't come back from that, 263 00:11:34.414 --> 00:11:35.914 let alone get better and thrive. 264 00:11:35.924 --> 00:11:36.934 So it's kind of a cool, 265 00:11:36.945 --> 00:11:39.534 just full circle moment this Sunday night and it's cool 266 00:11:39.544 --> 00:11:41.755 to see that both of them are playing really well. 267 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.210 We saw the NFL equivalent it of it with Carson Wentz and Nick Foles. 268 00:11:46.219 --> 00:11:49.750 I mean, Carson never recovered and Carson, yeah, and it's understandable, 269 00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:52.520 but Jalen took the complete opposite approach and he's 270 00:11:52.530 --> 00:11:54.820 a better player than Tu I think right now by 271 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:55.969 I think a lot 272 00:11:57.359 --> 00:11:59.619 Miami fans are not going to admit it and I'll just 273 00:11:59.630 --> 00:12:02.010 continue to say that Justin Herbert was the better pick than 274 00:12:02.530 --> 00:12:03.359 that. Doesn't mean Tua 275 00:12:03.479 --> 00:12:04.729 is not a good player. 276 00:12:04.950 --> 00:12:06.280 I still think though a 277 00:12:06.729 --> 00:12:09.700 lot of like if you put Jalen Hurtz in that Miami dolphins' offense, 278 00:12:11.190 --> 00:12:12.780 put Justin Herbert in that Miami do 279 00:12:13.619 --> 00:12:13.739 if 280 00:12:13.869 --> 00:12:13.890 I 281 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.000 just run a nine every play, we're going to send this thing 70 yards in the air. I, 282 00:12:18.969 --> 00:12:22.950 I wanted to imagine it but no, it, it is a really cool game 283 00:12:23.190 --> 00:12:23.700 and 284 00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:25.650 I have no qualm against Miami either. 285 00:12:25.659 --> 00:12:29.849 And I think this is just like one of those games where you play AFC opponents, right? 286 00:12:29.979 --> 00:12:31.625 And they don't really count for much, 287 00:12:31.755 --> 00:12:36.414 but I think they're good lessons to learn and like what is going on across the pond? 288 00:12:36.424 --> 00:12:39.755 Like, what is the AFC? How are they trying to beat their division? Miami? 289 00:12:39.864 --> 00:12:42.984 It's offense, offense, offense because they got to keep up with Buffalo, 290 00:12:42.994 --> 00:12:43.885 the New York Jets. 291 00:12:43.895 --> 00:12:44.905 They tried that same approach, 292 00:12:44.914 --> 00:12:48.065 bringing in Aaron Rodgers come to find out he gets injured, 293 00:12:48.075 --> 00:12:49.674 but their defense is pretty good and 294 00:12:49.924 --> 00:12:52.784 I think the way forward in that division is they 295 00:12:52.794 --> 00:12:55.044 have to beat Buffalo and what has Buffalo done? 296 00:12:55.054 --> 00:12:56.794 It's, it's scored points. And 297 00:12:57.590 --> 00:12:58.679 this game, 298 00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:00.010 you have Jalen Waddle, 299 00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:04.650 who is the Devante Smith, you have the Tyreek Hill, who's the AJ Brown, 300 00:13:04.729 --> 00:13:08.619 you have the deandre Swift, who's the Raheem Moster and the Devin A chain. 301 00:13:08.650 --> 00:13:14.210 It's so reminiscent of, of each other and, and how these teams play to the point where 302 00:13:14.530 --> 00:13:17.049 they quite literally run the exact same style of 303 00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:20.510 defense because Sean Desai was under vic fan, 304 00:13:20.640 --> 00:13:20.969 Joe 305 00:13:21.070 --> 00:13:25.539 in Chicago where he implemented the cover six defense and made it what it was today. 306 00:13:25.549 --> 00:13:25.770 And 307 00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:29.539 the ultimate chess match comes down to what 308 00:13:29.549 --> 00:13:31.380 quarterback is gonna win the football game, 309 00:13:31.390 --> 00:13:32.109 in my opinion. 310 00:13:34.429 --> 00:13:34.869 Go ahead. 311 00:13:35.179 --> 00:13:36.429 No, sorry, I was just gonna say too, 312 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.320 like you see how the offense has been up and down this year and they've 313 00:13:40.330 --> 00:13:43.039 been able to get by against some of these teams and still get wins. 314 00:13:43.049 --> 00:13:45.390 But I almost kind of like Geno after the worst performance. 315 00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:46.940 They've had on offense all year. 316 00:13:47.020 --> 00:13:49.840 They're thrust into this like juggernaut matchup where it's like, ok, 317 00:13:49.849 --> 00:13:53.299 you have no choice now but to figure this out or you're not winning this game, 318 00:13:53.309 --> 00:13:55.840 you can't get by like you did against New England week one 319 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:57.700 and, you know, expect the same result. 320 00:13:58.250 --> 00:13:59.700 It's sink or swim and 321 00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:03.280 there's no margin for error at this point. And 322 00:14:03.880 --> 00:14:06.700 you look at the NFC Lou, you had a big chance 323 00:14:06.849 --> 00:14:09.039 to go up 60, last week 324 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:10.039 you dropped it. 325 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.780 Now, Detroit's right on your heels now, Sam Frans right there, 326 00:14:14.789 --> 00:14:16.409 Dallas doesn't slip up. 327 00:14:16.520 --> 00:14:18.599 You can't afford to slip up at this point. 328 00:14:18.609 --> 00:14:23.369 And this is a big game in terms of just where you stand in my opinion, like this is 329 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.299 not the title fight, but it's like when two, 330 00:14:26.309 --> 00:14:28.210 number one contenders are going against the 331 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:29.559 warm up, man for sure. 332 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.539 It's not, it's not like a cupcake fight, but it's like, ok, I, 333 00:14:32.549 --> 00:14:34.799 I won three or four warmups at this point. 334 00:14:34.989 --> 00:14:39.219 Now, we're gonna see which guy is ready to go Conte, to contend for the belt. 335 00:14:39.530 --> 00:14:41.700 And I really think this is what it is like. 336 00:14:41.820 --> 00:14:45.669 Can Miami's offensive line, hold up against the Eagles defensive line? 337 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.500 That's a big telling point for later on in the playoffs. I mean, 338 00:14:48.630 --> 00:14:51.719 as many points as you want to score Miami when things get cold 339 00:14:52.030 --> 00:14:54.659 and it comes down to who wins in the trenches. 340 00:14:55.169 --> 00:14:55.380 Like, 341 00:14:55.390 --> 00:14:57.469 let's say the Eagles tomorrow they go out there 342 00:14:57.479 --> 00:14:59.330 and they could possess the ball for 40 minutes, 343 00:14:59.340 --> 00:15:00.309 like you had said, and 344 00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:01.989 really restrict it. And 345 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.609 all of a sudden, Miami has six possessions, 346 00:15:05.619 --> 00:15:08.340 seven possessions and they have to score on each and every one. 347 00:15:08.750 --> 00:15:10.369 Yeah, let's see how they react 348 00:15:10.520 --> 00:15:13.010 because the Eagles, we know that they can overcome adversity. 349 00:15:13.020 --> 00:15:15.929 But Miami, they're, they're still starting to get there. Right. 350 00:15:15.940 --> 00:15:17.900 And last week against Carolina, 351 00:15:17.909 --> 00:15:20.940 they allowed them 21 points like you had said on yesterday's show. 352 00:15:20.950 --> 00:15:23.940 And I think those are little things that every team, 353 00:15:24.510 --> 00:15:26.869 they're not paying attention five days a week like you are 354 00:15:26.880 --> 00:15:29.169 here like we don't know as good as in Miami, 355 00:15:29.179 --> 00:15:31.270 but there are things like we talk about 356 00:15:31.409 --> 00:15:33.039 that are underlying issues that 357 00:15:33.239 --> 00:15:35.330 the mainstream media isn't going to talk about. 358 00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:35.570 I mean, 359 00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:40.049 they're out there starting left tackle like he's Tyron Armstead is not playing 360 00:15:40.380 --> 00:15:41.169 that mean true. 361 00:15:41.179 --> 00:15:42.940 It's almost like because the Dolphins are 362 00:15:42.950 --> 00:15:44.840 doing something they haven't done before. 363 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.380 They're, you're not looking, you're not highlighting the struggles, right? 364 00:15:48.390 --> 00:15:50.479 Whereas with the Eagles because they were 365 00:15:50.590 --> 00:15:52.880 at a certain point in 2022 366 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.140 this year, they're doing so many good things, 367 00:15:55.150 --> 00:15:57.530 but only the negative feels like it's being 368 00:15:57.539 --> 00:15:59.520 showcased from at least from a national perspective. 369 00:15:59.530 --> 00:16:02.159 It's why I think when you look at the hype of this game, 370 00:16:02.169 --> 00:16:05.239 it is a lot of how can the Eagles keep up, but you're right. 371 00:16:05.250 --> 00:16:06.580 It's not like this is, 372 00:16:06.809 --> 00:16:09.080 you know, it's, it's a heavyweight versus heavyweight for sure. 373 00:16:09.090 --> 00:16:09.820 And I actually think 374 00:16:09.969 --> 00:16:12.260 the Eagles are more multidimensional where they can 375 00:16:12.270 --> 00:16:14.320 win in more ways probably than Miami can. 376 00:16:16.830 --> 00:16:18.650 Yeah, I would say that. I mean, 377 00:16:19.090 --> 00:16:22.280 offensively, I think both teams can win with the run in the past. 378 00:16:22.289 --> 00:16:25.150 Like, if it's a defensive barn burning, like, just struggle, 379 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:26.830 like fistfight who wins that game? 380 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:28.219 I think the Eagles win that kind of game. 381 00:16:28.390 --> 00:16:29.250 I do too and, 382 00:16:29.260 --> 00:16:31.210 and not to take away from the playmakers that 383 00:16:31.219 --> 00:16:32.619 they have on the defensive side of the ball. 384 00:16:32.630 --> 00:16:32.890 I mean, 385 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.650 Jon Holland slipping to the second round a couple of years ago out of Oregon. 386 00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:37.820 It was a shame. 387 00:16:37.830 --> 00:16:40.580 He's one of the best safeties in football at this point and Jalen 388 00:16:40.590 --> 00:16:43.650 Ramsey could potentially be back here within the next week or so. 389 00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:43.940 And 390 00:16:44.070 --> 00:16:47.419 Xavi and Howard comes back, like, you definitely have playmakers, but 391 00:16:47.640 --> 00:16:50.940 are they as deep on the defensive line? Absolutely not. I mean, 392 00:16:51.359 --> 00:16:54.830 yeah, you have Bradley Chubb who, who's a freaking all-star man at 393 00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:55.440 Phillips? 394 00:16:56.059 --> 00:16:59.059 Yeah. Do you have six guys, seven guys, eight? 395 00:16:59.150 --> 00:17:01.380 Like that's, that's what we're talking about and 396 00:17:01.570 --> 00:17:03.820 that's why it's hard to always have these conversations. 397 00:17:03.830 --> 00:17:07.060 It's like, yeah, they do have a lot of very good players and, 398 00:17:07.598 --> 00:17:09.917 but do they have the depth? Excuse me? Because 399 00:17:10.239 --> 00:17:12.138 the depth in these games like that's, 400 00:17:12.148 --> 00:17:14.398 I ultimately think that's what it comes down to man. 401 00:17:14.409 --> 00:17:19.318 Like is Bradley Chubb gonna be able to hang on if Lane Johnson does come back healthy. 402 00:17:19.328 --> 00:17:22.167 And like, what if he doesn't hit home? And like, what if Jalen isn't pressured? 403 00:17:22.178 --> 00:17:25.138 40% of the time? Like, can he just go out there and 404 00:17:25.468 --> 00:17:29.389 have a, to ask type of game? And those are the little things that you have to look at. 405 00:17:29.399 --> 00:17:30.308 Right. And 406 00:17:30.409 --> 00:17:32.519 I think we are prepared for that because 407 00:17:32.769 --> 00:17:34.678 we've seen a very good team, 408 00:17:34.688 --> 00:17:38.208 even the littlest things that you kind of just patch up and look over, 409 00:17:38.229 --> 00:17:39.889 they could come back to bite you when you play the 410 00:17:39.899 --> 00:17:41.729 best of the best because the best of the best, 411 00:17:41.879 --> 00:17:44.208 know how to expose those little areas. 412 00:17:44.699 --> 00:17:46.790 All right, Gino, let's get into our rookie report coming up next. 413 00:17:46.800 --> 00:17:49.469 I think this game is actually huge for these rookies. 414 00:17:49.479 --> 00:17:52.400 I think the Eagles are gonna need them to step up against the Miami Dolphins. 415 00:17:52.410 --> 00:17:55.800 So we'll get into that coming up next right here on the Lockdown Eagles podcast. 416 00:17:59.479 --> 00:18:04.180 And today's episode of Loe is sponsored by better help. 417 00:18:04.189 --> 00:18:07.079 Do you ever feel like your brain is getting in its own way? 418 00:18:07.300 --> 00:18:11.339 Like, you know what you should do, what's good for you, but you just can't do it. 419 00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:13.380 Therapy helps you figure it out 420 00:18:13.859 --> 00:18:15.260 and what's holding you back 421 00:18:16.189 --> 00:18:16.810 because 422 00:18:17.040 --> 00:18:18.849 if something's hold in your back in your mind, 423 00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:20.969 you can't go forward with your everyday life. 424 00:18:20.979 --> 00:18:24.729 And let me tell you about a real life story. I got married a couple months ago 425 00:18:25.050 --> 00:18:27.449 and I quite literally was sleeping 1 to 2 426 00:18:27.459 --> 00:18:30.369 hours a night because my brain was going crazy. 427 00:18:30.530 --> 00:18:32.729 So instead of just spinning my wheels, 428 00:18:32.739 --> 00:18:36.430 I reached out to better help and I suggest you do as well. 429 00:18:36.439 --> 00:18:39.650 If you're thinking about starting that therapy, give better help a try. 430 00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:43.555 It's entirely online.

Um 448 00:19:38.310 --> 00:19:39.790 Eli rex got injured too. 449 00:19:40.040 --> 00:19:44.060 So when you look at this coming matchup against Miami, it is interesting like I, 450 00:19:44.349 --> 00:19:47.390 I almost, I don't wanna say they need these rookies more, but 451 00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:50.209 when it look, when you look at like the role of Jalen Carter, 452 00:19:50.219 --> 00:19:53.969 I think this is a huge game you want him back for when it comes to Sidney Brown, 453 00:19:54.040 --> 00:19:55.060 is there a time? 454 00:19:55.069 --> 00:19:59.489 You need your fast safety? That's a rookie more than any matchup. 455 00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:01.380 I mean, this is the game you need Sidney Brown, 456 00:20:01.390 --> 00:20:03.859 even Nolan Smith like that kind of speed off the edge. 457 00:20:03.869 --> 00:20:05.979 I think you want like crashing through the eight 458 00:20:06.135 --> 00:20:08.885 up against Tua in this offense. So they don't have time. 459 00:20:08.895 --> 00:20:10.405 Even Tyler Steen, it's like I, 460 00:20:10.415 --> 00:20:13.905 I'd rather have him be dressed and if Lane Johnson were to go down, 461 00:20:14.064 --> 00:20:17.675 I prefer him to be on the field over Jack Driscoll, whether it's a left tackle and my, 462 00:20:17.685 --> 00:20:20.444 a lotta switches over, he's playing right tackle. 463 00:20:20.494 --> 00:20:22.064 I think this is a big game for rookies and 464 00:20:22.074 --> 00:20:24.204 hopefully some of them can be healthy and contribute more 465 00:20:25.630 --> 00:20:29.369 and hopefully the one rookie that does play and Keely Ringo 466 00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:32.780 doesn't take the dumbest penalty on special teams of all time. 467 00:20:32.790 --> 00:20:36.930 Like you did last week running into a fair catch, which was unbelievable. 468 00:20:37.290 --> 00:20:39.729 But you're right man. Like we're pounding 469 00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:43.459 the table to get these young kids in this game and 470 00:20:43.709 --> 00:20:43.819 you 471 00:20:44.229 --> 00:20:47.390 need the speed, man. You need these guys to stay fresh it's gonna be a race. 472 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.660 I was just thinking when you were talking about like, oh, yeah, 473 00:20:49.670 --> 00:20:53.560 Sidney Brown out there playing like, rangy cover free safety. 474 00:20:53.810 --> 00:20:56.119 Like, imagine Justin Evans trying to like, 475 00:20:56.250 --> 00:20:57.300 oh, like he 476 00:20:57.464 --> 00:20:59.525 runs his feet to try and play like an underneath, 477 00:20:59.535 --> 00:21:03.074 Rob to come across here and then he goes up field and it's like the kids running in, 478 00:21:04.025 --> 00:21:06.844 we're gonna put Terrell Edmonds out there on Sunday night. I can't watch that. 479 00:21:06.854 --> 00:21:10.015 It's like they're running with those moon boots on back in the day where like every 480 00:21:10.025 --> 00:21:14.435 step is just like two steps of what Tua is or Tyrique is taking out there. 481 00:21:14.444 --> 00:21:14.765 But 482 00:21:14.994 --> 00:21:17.584 100% I think Nolan Smith really presents 483 00:21:17.685 --> 00:21:17.694 a, 484 00:21:18.430 --> 00:21:21.689 a nice little changeup pitch for you in this game because 485 00:21:21.930 --> 00:21:24.750 especially the way that they've been using him 486 00:21:24.869 --> 00:21:29.109 playing that off ball linebacker where they do put him up in those simulated 487 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.160 pressure looks where they can pop him back into coverage and rush him. 488 00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:34.229 I think that's gonna be huge in trying to take 489 00:21:34.239 --> 00:21:37.790 away like those underneath type of plays from Miami because 490 00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:40.810 you could pop them up at the line. But it's like, ok, let's go out to the flat. 491 00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:42.410 Now you have somebody who's running a 43 492 00:21:42.420 --> 00:21:44.500 that could hopefully keep up with Raheem Mostert and 493 00:21:44.510 --> 00:21:49.040 somebody to try and close down the edge because I don't want Derek Barnett being my, 494 00:21:49.050 --> 00:21:50.359 my strong side defender. 495 00:21:50.369 --> 00:21:53.224 I don't want him being my backside defender. I don't, I want not the guy on the field. 496 00:21:53.234 --> 00:21:56.545 The NFL tweeted out that video lou of Mackay back 497 00:21:56.564 --> 00:21:59.135 and throwing him to the ground and laughing in his face 498 00:21:59.354 --> 00:22:01.234 and laughing at him. Yeah, man, it's zero pressures. 499 00:22:01.244 --> 00:22:03.665 There's no reason he should be in this game. This is not the game 500 00:22:03.905 --> 00:22:07.795 to just have somebody out there that's slipping around like a fish covered 501 00:22:07.805 --> 00:22:11.915 in Vaseline as Mark Sanchez crazily said the other day on the broadcast, 502 00:22:12.560 --> 00:22:16.780 but Jalen Carter, you're right, man. Like Connor Williams should hope 503 00:22:17.199 --> 00:22:19.339 to whoever he believes in 504 00:22:20.030 --> 00:22:20.550 that. 505 00:22:20.560 --> 00:22:24.630 Jalen Carter is not 100% healthy in this football game because Connor Williams 506 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:28.150 for one is not the best football player in the national football league. 507 00:22:28.560 --> 00:22:31.290 Jalen Carter, even when double teamed has been 508 00:22:31.729 --> 00:22:33.189 a lot to handle for 509 00:22:33.800 --> 00:22:34.699 offensive lines. 510 00:22:35.069 --> 00:22:38.329 And if you can get that full repertoire of that defensive 511 00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:41.689 line on top of how good the edge players are playing. 512 00:22:41.699 --> 00:22:44.569 Lou because if the edges are playing that good 513 00:22:45.260 --> 00:22:47.790 and the guys inside can just clean everything up. 514 00:22:47.800 --> 00:22:51.020 Like just pinch low on the backside of the pocket, 515 00:22:51.069 --> 00:22:53.189 make Tua have to decide if he wants to step up. 516 00:22:53.199 --> 00:22:56.319 Oh I gotta step up now, Jordan Davis is right there now, Flet 517 00:22:56.430 --> 00:22:59.760 Cox is right there and if those guys get off the line and make Tua, 518 00:22:59.770 --> 00:23:02.819 who gets the ball out of his hand relatively quickly, 519 00:23:03.310 --> 00:23:07.599 think about coming off of that first read and and waiting for that play to 520 00:23:07.750 --> 00:23:09.640 kind of develop and unfold. 521 00:23:09.930 --> 00:23:12.520 Well, hopefully, one Tyree Hill doesn't come open in that time, 522 00:23:12.530 --> 00:23:14.829 but two that gives you enough time to take to it down. 523 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.079 No, I completely agree. And so that's why I think it's a huge matchup. 524 00:23:18.089 --> 00:23:21.160 I mean, you just need your stars, like we mentioned, just to beat out their stars. 525 00:23:21.170 --> 00:23:24.819 And Jalen Carter is one of those guys and that's a huge thing, 526 00:23:24.829 --> 00:23:26.839 especially for a quarterback that's not super mobile. 527 00:23:26.849 --> 00:23:29.430 He's not a, you know, complete statue with Tua, but, you know, 528 00:23:29.439 --> 00:23:33.160 getting that pressure up the middle against this kind of team, I think is massive and 529 00:23:33.270 --> 00:23:35.280 I don't know why I'm thinking of this matchup specifically, 530 00:23:35.290 --> 00:23:37.890 but when you go back to like 2018 against the Rams like that 531 00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:40.439 do or die match up where Nick Foles comes in and you're like, 532 00:23:40.449 --> 00:23:41.400 the Rams are red hot. 533 00:23:41.410 --> 00:23:44.479 They're the best offense in football. And you're like, how do we stop this team? 534 00:23:44.619 --> 00:23:48.109 Like when you look at the mismatches because the Eagles secondary was so banged up, 535 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:50.199 kind of like it is now, what do you need? 536 00:23:50.209 --> 00:23:53.310 You need Fletcher cox to take over that game like he did and that's again, 537 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:55.400 the edges have been great the last few weeks, 538 00:23:55.410 --> 00:23:56.810 but this would be a huge game for the 539 00:23:56.819 --> 00:23:58.760 defensive tackles to start wrecking up the middle. 540 00:24:00.010 --> 00:24:03.069 You're right about that man that, that four game stretch, 541 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.750 the interior of the defensive line was so good. 542 00:24:05.959 --> 00:24:09.630 It was so good. It just took over, I remember that Houston game. 543 00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:10.790 It was the same thing and 544 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:16.040 yeah, it was all of those teams that had rather good offenses. It was like, 545 00:24:16.189 --> 00:24:17.180 what do we always say? 546 00:24:17.239 --> 00:24:20.390 It's one of the cliches we say, what do, what do quarterbacks hate 547 00:24:20.579 --> 00:24:22.310 interior pressure and 548 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.140 Tua, 549 00:24:23.260 --> 00:24:23.780 I mean, 550 00:24:24.020 --> 00:24:26.339 he's a guy, like you said, he's not a statue, 551 00:24:26.550 --> 00:24:30.750 but that hip injury definitely, it definitely has restricted him in an intense 552 00:24:30.939 --> 00:24:33.660 of getting outside the pocket. And even when he was healthy, he wasn't that 553 00:24:34.849 --> 00:24:38.329 and how cool would it be for Jalen to win this game? Right. You know what I mean? 554 00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:42.030 Like I, and I, he won't say that he wants this, but I think he wants it. 555 00:24:42.040 --> 00:24:46.189 I mean, he's passed that game but come on the show on the, the national stage, 556 00:24:46.199 --> 00:24:49.109 Sunday night football that he's the better quarterback. 557 00:24:49.459 --> 00:24:51.609 It's in there, it's in there that motivation, 558 00:24:51.729 --> 00:24:53.479 you know, he's in a group chat with like Devote 559 00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:57.000 and AJ and like all the guys on offense and they're texting them. 560 00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:57.849 They're like, oh, we're, 561 00:24:57.859 --> 00:25:00.229 it's personal this week and Jalen isn't doing 562 00:25:00.239 --> 00:25:02.260 anything besides like giving it like thumbs up, 563 00:25:02.270 --> 00:25:03.719 like not responding just like, 564 00:25:04.280 --> 00:25:06.939 yeah, we know, but like we're not going to actually talk about it. 565 00:25:06.949 --> 00:25:09.089 Yeah, it's Bama Boys versus Bama Boys. It's wad 566 00:25:09.339 --> 00:25:10.630 O and Tua versus Devote 567 00:25:11.069 --> 00:25:12.060 and Jalen. And 568 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.319 yeah, I think that's definitely a part of it. It's a great matchup. 569 00:25:14.329 --> 00:25:17.449 There's a lot of fun storylines. The Jerseys are gonna look awesome. 570 00:25:17.459 --> 00:25:19.819 I cannot wait to see. Kelly Green is Miami going white. 571 00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:23.939 II I think they are. I want them to do their vintage whites though, I don't think. 572 00:25:24.310 --> 00:25:27.180 But man, with that look, the old school Dolphins. 573 00:25:28.650 --> 00:25:29.719 Uh we'll see what happens, 574 00:25:29.729 --> 00:25:33.290 but hopefully they look great in the jerseys and they play great on the field. 575 00:25:33.300 --> 00:25:34.989 We'll continue to get into the matchup tomorrow. 576 00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:38.709 Locked on Dolphins host, Kyle Crabs will join us for crossover Thursday. 577 00:25:38.719 --> 00:25:41.949 We have a Friday show as well for you right here on the Lockdown Eagles Podcast, 578 00:25:41.959 --> 00:25:45.819 part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day for Gino Camilleri. 579 00:25:45.829 --> 00:25:48.550 I'm Lou Di Biase.
