TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Well, you know, who has a good identity and the good identity. And that's the Philadelphia Eagles because when the game is on the line, any time this season, what do they do? Barkley or bus? And in this game, we saw the same thing when it came down to it, when Jayla hers was hurt and limited and I didn't do that on purpose.

He was literally hurt. I know everybody's doing that but whatever. When he was hurt, had limited mobility, they went, they went and made the investment. They came into the playoffs and they use the investment.

We just talked about a team that didn't do that with the Ravens who didn't, I mean, granted the Buffalo Bills were doing a great job of stopping him early, but he got loose in the second half. They went away from that, but the Eagles did that because they were like, we went to God, we're going to lose, we're going to lose with the guy. And that's how the Philadelphia Eagles won a close game at home because they were allowed on the strength of their defense and they were able to defeat the Los Angeles Rams 2822 with the defense and Saquon Barkley. So the question is, this is this is the bro.

I swear to God. If you ain't shit, it's Jayla hers, the Jimmy G of this Eagles team and which has the great chance to make the Super Bowl. I already had to say this because I got to knock you and show them off a pig. Because these big is these more focused.

They have to like, I know how much I fuck with Saquon. I want him to get a ring. But the fact that he's doing this to help benefit the Eagles doesn't make sense to me. And I'm not saying that for the organization.

I'm saying that because we keep dancing around this topic about Jayla hurts every fucking week and she'll get the skate because he could say they got the deal about the end of the day. And we all looking at the same tape and we know something wrong and we know this shit is going and this shit, the house always when came when it come to this shit, it's going to show up somehow some way. And I would hate to I would just hate for this conversation to skate like that. I may be sounding like I hate it right now, but Jayla heard it say, bro, he ain't doing shit literally, he's literally hurting their team.

All pun intended. All pun intended. That's safe. That's safe.

That's safe. He says it all along. And he couldn't run, but he still held the ball. The nigga who's supposed to be their captain didn't call out the play action boot play.

Well, we already have a safe one. Cook it. Come on. Yeah.

Um, so we're going into going into this next game with the commanders and Eagles. I am kind of like a loop. I'm just confused a little bit with how this last game played out because Saquon looked amazing. The defense made some really advantageous plays and Jalen Carter was amazing on the defensive line.

Uh, it's hard for me to eat a really great dealing hurts in this game because of two factors, the Blizzard and the fact that he got hurt. Um, I really, I genuinely don't know what to think about this game because the safety, kind of more is coming out and saying that the safety is on him. I don't know if he's protecting Jalen or whatever. I would think that as a guy in the running for a head coaching job, you wouldn't say that a safety, you know, playoffs was on you.

So it has to be either true or just complete cap. So I don't know. Um, it's just coming into the commander's game. I'm a little bit worried because I think Jayden Daniels has a lot of confidence and the ability to scramble when we, when we don't have Nicole and we being out there could present a problem.

Uh, it's a divisional game as well. There's the third time we're meeting up and if Jalen hurts is hindered in his mobility, I'm extremely worried because I do think he's a very limited passer already. And if you're telling me that his knee is not 100% and he's limited as a runner now, then I think that if you're a commander, you're looking at your chops because we just, we just, you know, slayed the lines and now it's just basically sell out to stop Barkley and that's got to be your entire plan. Now, no teams have been able to do that because of the fact that Jalen hurts is able to run and he's able to create more of a mismatch with his legs, but that's going to be off the table.

I've, as an Eagles fan, I'm, I'm pretty concerned and I'm pretty scared to see what's going to happen because everything's on the, on the table this week. Um, they, um, cause me from the guard from the watch, the commanders towards ACL, Sam Cosmo did an excellent job in his first game against, uh, Jalen Carter, even though Jalen Carter may please, he still did a better job than anybody else has this year. That being said, um, that gives me a lot of confidence in what the Eagles can do on defense. I'm into the link, which is a little bit different place to play and you got a backup bar trying to keep Jalen Carter out of the backfield.

That's going to make, that's going to make it a really, really daunting task. Not impossible, but daunting nonetheless. Um, I am worried about the leg and you write, it could have been prostrated to me as on Jalen, get rid of the ball. Yeah.

It's that simple. He rid the ball. So that safety is on him. I don't know how he's being coached.

I don't know. I'm not in that locker room. So I don't know what they say in him, but you know, keep the ball out of harm the way I get it, but you can't throw the ball away. That's something that's big.

It's just holding the ball too long for me. Um, if I'm getting to my issues with the offense, he's holding the ball too long for me. Uh, the fumble is concerning because it's just like we have a Ferrari that's only going a hundred miles an hour, 50% of the time. And I, and I think that say, Juan is the 50% of the time.

If we, and of course you can't take away, say, Juan, but it's like, if we didn't sign and say, I don't know what this offense even looks like. Um, if you have a question. So, so when a quarterback holds the ball, in your opinion, what is the reason why he's holding the ball? There's only two options.

Either he's not seeing his progressions or he's scared to throw a pick. That's not it. And I was going to say that. I was going to say a lot of times I think that he's coming off.

He's not trusting his reach. He sees it. He's looking in the direction of times and still not pulling the trigger. So it ain't like he ain't seeing it in his eyes.

I'm moving. It could be going to be putting the trigger. What is that? It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, they got a new coach.

They got a new coach and he did the same thing last year. I'm not blaming the coach, but what I'm saying is, I don't know. No, no, no, no. He's not going to do this.

He goes back to Alabama. Yes. He has done his thing. I'll show you.

But not sure what I'm saying is, and I'm not blaming the coach. That's not what I'm trying to do here. What I'm saying is, if you're telling me to protect the ball and I'm taking that to mean don't make these throws. That's, that's on him still, but that's something that could be possible happening at this point.

No, no. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, I know I'm still on him. That's why did I do for the bell bars. I'm not telling you that I agree, I'm just telling you why it may be happening.

I don't believe it. I said, I don't believe it should happen. That's what I'm saying. But the issue is that he's happening and he's had multiple offensive coordinators now and we can track this all over and we can track this all the way back to Alabama.

So, I don't think that the issue is with the coaching. I think the issue is with the player. You, as a quarterback, sometimes when you see it, you got to let it go and here's the thing. I will shoot him the bell.

because I've always say he's a mobile quarterback. You know what I'm saying? So if the wheels ain't rolling, then he's a liability. The reason why I was okay with paying him the money, right, was because if he is a true dual threat, and you're running option, you're doing this, you're doing what they do with J.

Daniels, then J. He's worth the money. But he's only threat on the ground. He's right.

I literally, he's a threat to championship game. As long as he's a threat on the ground, let's be very clear. He's not a basic threat. Go watch the book, go to the Bills game at the end.

Regardless of the why, the issue is, is that you have a former Heisman winner as a wide receiver. You have arguably the most physical, top two most physical wide receivers in the game outside of the Bills' annuals. That can actually catch a run-route. You have tied and you have the greatest online.

What the hell you not see? Let that thing go. The people, the people, if I tell you, man don't you lose this game for me. Don't lose it for me.

You ain't gonna let it go. You're not saying wrong, man. I'm not saying wrong. That's crazy, that's not even the only one.

It's not crazy if it's working. Oh, you don't think they say that this working? And I think, you don't tell that to my homes that you don't tell any other quarterback that's up a lead status that, hey man, don't lose this game for me. You tell him to go out and do it.

Yes you do. You tell him to go over that last week. Well, you tell me that coaches are telling Jalen Hurts, man, don't go out and lose this game for me. Yes, obviously.

He's still saying. Sorry. You got it for Rory, right behind you. Don't you lose, so he can't do what he do.

That's exactly what I tell him. He's coming to tell you what he's doing. I mean, he's trying to deal for him. He's trying to deal for him.

I don't care what you call him. As long as you do it. And I think that that's like, the two conversations that people are having about Jalen Hurts is coming from one side where you have people saying he's a lead and he's a lead because he's winning and look at the win percentage and look at the stats of all of that. And then you have people who are coming at this from a real like, I test.

But we can see what's going on. And the reason why it's so hard for me to judge this last game, just only in the back of it. Because a lot of people are doing this, you know, got you with me where, oh, Josh Allen had a similar game to Jalen Hurts but you don't get on Josh Allen. I think that is such a reductive argument because that's the outlier for Josh Allen to do less and win.

It's the rule of how the Eagles win that Jalen Hurts doesn't have to do too much and we win. It's the outlier when he throws the 300 and three touchdowns where I'm like, man, he looked amazing today. Does he have it in him every sticks games to like, yo, he looks like he's a really locked in. Yeah, he does that a lot.

But I can't see here as a fan and be so supremely confident come playoff time. I like bro, as an Eagles fan, I have to always go in like, let's see what Jalen we get this week. Let's see, let's see what happens this week. If I have a Joe burro, if I have a Josh Allen, if I have, you know, all depending on the top five now, Jay Daniels, I'm gonna go and be like, man, I'm ready to go.

Like, yo, this is it. We have the offense. We have the weapons. Shahan Donson is our third receiver and we just don't use him.

And I don't understand how Jalen is not seeing this. I saw three touchdowns that Jalen didn't pull the trigger on last week. Could have been the snow, could have been something else. But there's just too much of that for me to be like, man, I'm supremely confident every time when the playoffs.

It's Sequin and the defense are bust and you can win with that formula. But I'm afraid that the, you know, Piper's going to come to collect where he's like, all right, the Sequin only got ADRs in this game. The defense getting picked apart a little bit more and we're down to score, we're down 10 points. And we need Jalen to actually make some throws here.

And that's what I'm scared to be. But I'm trying to say that. It's real quick. Can I ask you two?

Can I ask you two as Eagles fans? Like, do you guys think that Jalen hurts? Can go out before Jake Daniels on a Sunday? Absolutely.

He did it this year. Did you ask the first game? I think he can. I think that he can.

He has the ability to do so. Am I willing to bet money on that? No, and that's the part of, and that's the part of being a fan of this team that disappoints me. Because when I put the keys in this Ferrari, it should start up 100% of the time.

Because we invested it. Q in Washington, he did it the first game. The second game, he was on the route to doing it before Frank and Lulu knocked him out. He was already doing it.

He was outperforming them both at times they played. So we can't say he can't do it. We saw him do the same thing. Like I said, watch the fourth quarter.

And over time, we go watch the fourth quarter and over time, it was last year in this revision. We can watch the fourth quarter over time against Jalen at his best. He got played Jalen throwing the ball all over. That was a pass.

That wasn't running. So we know he could do these things. It's just a matter of being able to execute at a high level. And he's just going to knock out on it.

Yeah, he can throw it about when he gets in. He talks about rhythm all the time. And a lot of things that we don't give quarterback credit for, those two Sequan long turns down runs in this game. He's calling these plays.

He's out there. What happened to the bootleg then? Why did he auto out of the bootleg? Why would he think about a bump?

Why didn't they go to a bump knee? He didn't call it play. But even if he did, he called it play. He called it play.

It was messed up. No, no, they said it. No, they said that. So he can't auto out of that.

That's what I'm saying. I don't know. I don't know. Absolutely.

It's okay. I'm saying, I'm saying, he's trying to say he can't call this play. He don't call a place. They give the play.

Yeah, yeah. I'm putting 100% confidence. I know. I know.

I know. But they'll tell you. He can check and change the play at the line. So he does call a place.

He can tell you. So I can't really like, it's hard for me to just judge him in this one game because of the Blizzard and the knee. But regardless of those, I did still see things that I'm like, that could have been a thrower. That could have been a thrower.

And who knows? They also dropped it because of those factors. I just listed it. The other side of it with like the Rams, Rams put us in a position where our defense had to kind of rally themselves together, especially the D line.

They came on really late. Stafford, he played as well of a road game that you can ask a guy at his age and playing in hot weather city like that, to come in in in a blizzard and really pook up. You know what I'm saying? Dammit, it's still the game for him.

And you know, not not to go back, not to go back to the over topic. But the reason why I am worried is because yeah, you can beat the commanders doing shit like that. But when you have a plate of Kansas City Chiefs, they throwing flags on that last fucking you know drive you know that's not good enough. You know what I'm saying?

It goes back when we talk about it. Yeah, you're right about that. And I don't know if you know this is two people when Queen Y'all went down. I was scared of them.

Because you know what I'm saying? Matt, you ain't throwing to that side of the field when Queen Y'all is on the field. And I know he's a rookie member. That dude, that dude involved in all season long.

A lot of people would rather test the older Darius slave because it's reaction time. Like, you know, it's just an even if you don't believe in the talent spike, but this is a youth thing. Is that what I mean? And you saw that in the game playing two of those long passes he threw.

Isaiah Rodgers had to ball in his hands twice. He got the ball taken away from him. Those plays went to May by Queen Y'all because he went through the ball. And he's really aggressive towards the ball.

I'm not saying he would pick it off, but you went through the ball. You would try to. We're giving a lot of time to the Eagles because obviously we've moved on. But it's like, where do we think the Rams go with Cup?

Are they going to be either on the fire sale? Are they going to fire sale with him and Stafford this offseason? Do you retool with Stafford? Can you make one more run?

Yeah, we'll hit that next for Rick. And he talks on the hurts thing before we move on. The last thing I was going to say, if we are describing Jalen Hurts and successive Philadelphia Eagles is him doing less and letting everybody else do them, that's the definition of Jimmy G to me. We can just leave and get out for that in law.

Jimmy G ain't score, though. Give me the luxury. Mick, Mick. Somebody heard the focus quits the corner.

I thought, hey, hey, they don't do that. Quits in the front of the show. Don't do that. Hey, look.

I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm not mad if you want to call him a luxury, Jimmy G. Because at the end of the day, Jimmy G was one throw away from beating the Chiefs.

So it's like, his whole future might have been there. And Jay, Jay, Jay, Taylor Hurts was one followed away from him. Taylor Hurts is the last throw. The first two last throw in four games, 12 and 0 with 24 touchdowns.

Pass. That's what I'm talking about. Hey, man. Hey, man.

What's the difference? That was his record. That's a big deal. I want to thank you as far as for the Rams.

I wouldn't be shocked if, to me, all this depends on what Sean is going to be able to do. If he wants to come back and continue coaching, because he was talking about retiring a couple years. If he still wants to coach, I say restart. You got Puka.

You can still staffer for a high set right now. You can sell at the Vegas. No, he's going to keep staff right there. No, he's going to keep staff right there.

You're going to get another quarterback. No, he's going to keep staff right there. You're going to keep staff right there. You're going to hold that.

You get another quarterback. You got the defense now. You're holding all the staff for too long at this point. You got the defense now.

You got the defense now. You're holding all the staff for too long. He's going to be going. What should you be bringing to come back to?

He comes back. I think they both come back. Okay. Not that for coming back.

Period. No, no, no. He don't know what the hell he's going to do either. No, it will be a pack.

I think they will come back. The defensive is already there. That defense is tough. I was going to say in Jacksonville.

In Tennessee, Tennessee said, hey, we'll give you the number one of raw papers to match that right now. Absolutely. That's a tightness. Move that.

That's what you're talking about. They might be. I mean, it's like you and nobody. They might not have the demographics to support a cam or a Shadora.

That's the. It's not. Who do we just pick? Who do we just pick?

I'm telling you, George Sanders is not going to work at the Tikes. I would tell you that as a national. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. If he's that guy, you mean he's not going or he won't know.

He's good. No, no, no, no. The organization will not be able to handle what he brings. It's a man.

I'm going to put it that very simply. Like it's not good. You should be able to overcome it. Right.

No, because the Tikes are not a good enough organization to keep him secluded from what they can't want straight back. Listen, they should know. Absolutely not. Listen, we should do it.

It's not in Nashville. It'll be different and it ain't going to be about football at all. It ain't going to be just a middle. It ain't going to be good.

We should be on our team. You're going to be a boy. You're going to be a boy. You're going to be a boy.

You're going to be a boy. You're going to be a boy. You're going to be a boy. You're going to be able to have a book.

And you're not going to get up for this, right? No, you're not going to be able to do it. When you get it. Then, you're right, just a guy who specifically sees you.

He's going to be some peopleiding to drag. Yeah. On the line, he's going to put them in the front. They should do a hit by a audition.

He's not going to have... He's going to be a disconnect. We shouldoooge, he's in the middle. No, no now.

He's going to be on arranged. They're going to pick a... What's the name Hunter? They should be sitting here for the next few days?

I think they should or go out there with a New York or he is going to be dropping in the dragon or maybe in the back Vegas.
