a career-high hundred and fifty-seven
rushing yards. 103 of that was in the first quarter. So that
was the quarter are like 80 of it was on the first drive,
I mean and there was no one there. It was like he was lost
to than everyone, right? They were blocking it. Well
yeah, but it was just seemed like, the Packers had no answer
for it. Well,
agreed there. And I was literally, you know, me how
I talk in the screening room of the game that I'm gonna, I've
literally, like, after the second run, I looked up at her
Vega, did they not understand who they were playing tonight?
Like, I mean, what I mean he was running. It was three of
the most easy runs you'll ever see. It was almost like wait
what's going on here? Is anybody in the screen
but that's again
you know I think
hey Jalen's phenomenal football player and clearly has stated
here that he is
you know one of the better quarterbacks and football
you're not going to hear me, say he's like top five
quarterback in football. That ain't gonna happen. All right,
but either way okay, maybe he's on
going in that direction.
And the again,
just the all the
Shoes. You have to worry about what that football team.
It's hard to cover all your bases and that was one last
night where it looked at Green Bay kind of went. Like we're
going to kind of stop everything. Except we're not
going to have anybody. That are spit spy him
or really worried about him containing him in scrambles
and of course that became a big issue and then of course they
even broke out some quarterback runs and it's just, it's pick
your poison with Philadelphia a little bit, unless you're
a special defense. And I really think there is only
a handful of defense's and
Football that can really give them problems and kind of have
the answers to all the problems that they can pose for
a defense, they ran for 363 yards, the easiest 363 yards,
you'll ever see, that's, that's what that's is amazing to me.
You know, it really is, it's
it's different than like this is not Michael Vick scrambling,
where Michael Vick was playing a drop back pass offense and
making people miss, and you're like, oh my gosh, wow,
sometimes with this, it's just like, whoa, he fake the run
here and he ran around the
edge and nobody was there.
For 40 yards, holy cow or they,
hey, we pulled the Right Guard and give it to Mi Sanders and
nobody touches him for 20 yards.
That's where I'm Amazed by it. The first half was Jalen hurd's
show and all the plays he made and then the second half they
were just like we're gonna do
you want and run up the middle raw and they just there's
nothing you can do to stop it. It's really impressive. I think
we have some dots on. Jalen hurts has 42 yard run. It was
the most on a scramble this season. Yeah, and no Defender
got within four. It's of hurts after he crossed the line of
scrimmage and till he got to the 10 yard line. So to your
point right there does no one there, I don't, I don't, you
know, understand the process a little bit there, did not seem
like there was a,
you know, an emphasis on. Hey, let's not just go crazy in
the pass rush and then, like I said earlier, just not
an emphasis on, hey, let's keep a guy. They're writing this
supposed to be Quay. Walker would have been, you know,
I got, it's a play. I gotta watch back again. I do
think way Walker. If we play it again, I think he's covering.
In gain well 14. So they're in a sort of a man-to-man
coverage, right? So and because they have to on 81 there,
that's where you probably could have finagled a way to get
a quarter but when you play man-to-man and this type of
defense that you see here, you should be able right
to have a guy in pie quarterback spy. Won't watch
this one more time because I'm pretty sure it was a five-man
rush to and you know me that's why I'm not a huge fan of
the five-man rush always?
Yeah I'm correct. It was a five-man rush to wear
yes. Yes, that's a guy that you could have had there waiting
for him,
so that that was, there was a lack of a plan, they're all
together, but it's hard to have a plan for Philadelphia. And as
we've talked, I think it's really
hey, we saw the Colts and Washington but those are teams
that I look at to go. Special defense has there's only a few
in the NFC left that I think can really mess with this
offense and there's only a few in the IFC
so that's where it'll get interesting.
But the Eagles, the offense, everything they do,
and it's amazing. And and really, I think the thing maybe to
Had if we want to beat the Eagles or look at little cracks
in the armor and all that, it is the defense, the defense,
you know, it's good. But I don't sit here right now and
think, oh wow, it's like the most dominant force in
football. The
statistics are really good. It's hard to argue.
They've played a favorable schedule as we talked about
with offenses and stuff, but I don't get the sense that it's
a dominant defense. I don't feel that way when they're on
the field and Gardener Johnson went out do that? No, no, you
did not look good. I didn't look, I wonder what that is
there. I know like a rib injury, ribs, done Railways.
Take a spleen. Whenever I see. See, somebody get hit like
that, you know, he kind of got like, hit right in that area.
But Eagles make plays. That's the other thing they do, even
though their defense my give up yards, they're very
opportunistic. We know that they're one of the league
leaders and
interceptions and forced fumbles and all of those things
as well.
So, you know that that, of course, maybe covers some some
issues as far as the yards. They allow at times. So you
mentioned it already with
Jalen. Hurd sin is like you do the top, 40 or famous for that.
It'll never probably be in the top 10 of like all around
quarterbacks, because there's Limitations are, there are some
limitations and maybe you won't be top five right? Every well
yeah but for
what the Eagles do my point. Yes. It's like that's why
I think the NFL is so cool right now. Especially, is that there
are a number of ways to win? Yes, and Nick suriani with
the Eagles are doing with what they're doing. Yeah Jalen hurts
is probably the number one quarterback that the
Eagles could have. He's a great fit for that. Yes. And they've
orchestrated around him and that's where I give searing on
E and Shane cycling. A lot of you know this is not in their
history to run this type of offense that's not that's not
what they do.
These are good group of guys who were out there with
the Chargers and Philip Rivers. And we're throwing for forty eight,
hundred yards. And let's unleash it and and do all that,
and then got to the Colts with Andrew luck. And we're like,
let's unleash it, this
is awesome. I got all these Cool Pass plays,
they're really creative and that standpoint, but then they
got to Philadelphia. It was Carson, Wentz. Oh wait, okay.
Wait Jalen hurd's.
We don't really like this guy. We want to trade. We we don't
know if you can really do it. Okay, let's start to put some
plays around him. That makes sense for him. Now you're
seeing
what he can bring to the table.
And you know, again, he gives them a toughness to their
football team and an attitude to. That's what you can't
really quantify with stats, with Jalen hurts, whether it's
his calm demeanor, you know,
just his mental fortitude, all that there is real valuable and
valuable. One of I want to say, tangible
intangible, and intangible tangible, intangible and
tangible. As I like that there is with him though
and it was a good win for them. But, but yeah, I do worry
about. About the Eagles defense a little bit. He just so laid
back is Jalen hurd's fourth quarterback in NFL history with
150 or more passing yards and 150 or more rushing yards in
a single game.
Michael Vick. Did it Colin Kaepernick? Did it it's pretty
funny. Yes. And did I now Jalen hurts. It's so funny to think
about it to like I said it's the ease in which it was done.
When Colin Kaepernick in the 49ers we had never seen
anything like it
and I guess now just to see quarterbacks run for 100 yards.
We see it so often, it doesn't really like pop as much so that
to lead their team in rushing. Not that not because of a deal,
right? You're right. It's and and you know I mean
I guess 150 is a different Stratosphere really might have
quarterback their runs for 100 110 120 but 150 is a different
Stratosphere and and like I said
to, you know, again the bind they put you in with having to
play man-to-man and do that with AJ Brown, his ability to
throw the ball, you know, he's great. As I've always said, go
routes
back shoulders, right? Like the touchdown. We saw right before
the half. I believe to quiz Watkins is that The one I'm
thinking about. I think it was on the right. Sideline, you
know, just has a great feel of,
oh, wait. The defenders in front of them, I won't lead
them. I'll kind of leave it behind him. Oh, wait. He's got
the defender beat by a little bit. I'll throw it out there
and let him go get it. That's where her. She
has real value as a thrower to me.
But, but I will say,
you know, they're still throws with him and things where I go.
When they they got a by the 49ers,
you know? If they got to play the Cowboys again and they slow
down some of those other things
and now hey, you got a jam, a ball and do a cover to window
and do a. Do I sit here and go, oh, don't worry, he's gonna
pass that test with flying colors this year, no.
And, and I know I'm not alone in that thought, you know,
I don't blow out of people don't want to say it. People are
scared to talk about you owner. So just one thing that
I certainly look at to evaluate as we go here, probably not
every game. They're going to run for 363 yards.
Which is the most in the franchise history since 1948.
And we all know how good that team was in 1940. I mean, how
could you forget the 48 Eagles? How Could You Forget it? Yeah,
the
the brotherly love bruisers.
I think they were called back in the day. They're just
the bruisers. Didn't run over everyone.
They won the championship that year Pizza. He's a historian.
He is a historian.
It is amazing. It's amazing. And I've never seen a team rush
rush for over. 350 yards, and make it look so easy in my
life.
