0:01

the show it's back to everything

0:03

season and that means everything football

0:05

today goes inside the NFL like

0:07

nobody else with behind the scenes

0:10

stories on off the field today

0:12

is at the center of it

0:14

all and of course every

0:16

game needs a tailgate so we're

0:18

going to help you dominate yours

0:20

with winning game day recipes from

0:22

the best chefs be there all

0:24

season long on today every morning

0:26

at 7am only on NBC

0:46

it is officially the bye week

0:48

but not for us we're here this is the eagle

0:51

eye podcast presented by Nissan he's Ruben Frank I'm

0:53

Dave Zangaro. Rub how you doing?

0:55

Doing well looking forward to a few days off

0:57

just like the team is. Yeah

0:59

they're having a better year though. Yeah

1:02

you're not doing too you're 4-0

1:04

you're doing well the team has a lot to

1:06

work on the bye week coming

1:09

at a pretty good time you know typically

1:11

a week five bye could

1:13

be an issue it's so early in the season

1:15

but the way things have gone the

1:17

way this team has been injured the way they're

1:19

coming off the ugly loss in Tampa

1:21

I really do think it's coming at a good time for them.

1:24

Yeah we kind of talked about this during the summer that

1:27

when you start out with a Brazil trip which I know

1:29

took a lot out of you you think

1:31

about how the team responds to that and then

1:33

you have a Monday night game and then a

1:35

short week on the road in New Orleans and

1:38

then another road game so now you've been on

1:40

the road three out of four weeks and these

1:42

aren't just like bus trips up to East Rutherford

1:44

or down to Baltimore these are all flights and

1:48

you know challenging circumstances and

1:52

it takes a lot out of you and I think the

1:54

bye probably couldn't have come at a better time I'm

1:58

not sure they'll be saying that around week 16. But

2:01

maybe they can, they can earn another

2:03

buy in the first

2:05

round of the playoffs. Yeah,

2:08

we'll see about that. Maybe not. They have

2:10

a lot to work on and that's what the buy week

2:12

is for. You know, the players will get away for a

2:14

little bit, but the coaches will be in

2:16

meetings. They'll be grinding tape. It's not a

2:18

huge sample size, just four games, but it's

2:21

enough to look at and to figure out,

2:23

maybe it's not as much tendencies because you

2:25

probably haven't developed those as much, but you

2:28

got to figure out some answers here. On

2:31

both sides of the football. Yeah. I feel like

2:33

a normal bi-week, you're, you're doing a lot of

2:35

quality control stuff. Uh, like, you know, their,

2:38

their issues are a lot bigger than are we,

2:41

you know, are we showing tendencies on third and

2:43

long or whatever? Um, they got

2:45

to figure out why they can't tackle why they,

2:48

why they're so inconsistent in so many areas. Why

2:50

they can't score in the first quarter. Six straight

2:52

games. Why you can't put the last two on

2:54

or the first two in that stretch on, on

2:56

kell and more, but yeah, uh,

2:59

slow starts, uh, poor tackling, um,

3:02

just inconsistent coverage.

3:06

Uh, there's so many issues. Uh, protection has been

3:08

up and down. There's just a lot to look

3:10

at. Um, and

3:13

you know, you didn't have AJ for three of those

3:15

four games and take that into account to some degree,

3:17

but, um, a lot of

3:19

these things really have go beyond injuries and,

3:21

and personnel, they have to do with kind

3:24

of the, the, the team. So

3:26

there's, there's a lot to work on and they'll

3:28

be busy these next, uh, next six days. Yeah,

3:31

certainly the injury status, like they'll get some help

3:33

here. We would think AJ will definitely be back.

3:35

I would think Lane will be back. He was

3:37

pretty close to playing on Sunday. Devontae,

3:39

I guess we don't know, but you would hope that that

3:42

much time he'd be able to recover and be back

3:44

on the field. So from

3:46

that perspective, they're going to get healthier. Some

3:49

of their most important players will be back.

3:51

So that's a good sign. Yeah.

3:53

By, um, by the

3:55

Browns, it'll be three weeks for Devontae. It was very,

3:57

you know. Very

4:00

serious injury. I don't think

4:02

it's a slam dunk. He'll be back, but. I

4:06

think he's got a shot, yeah, yeah,

4:08

and look. It's not like that

4:10

will solve all their problems. Those guys don't play

4:12

defense, but I think it will solve

4:14

a lot of the problems offensively. But

4:17

yeah, a busy week for the coaches. We

4:19

just got back from the Nova Care Complex

4:21

talking to Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore. Michael

4:23

Clay switched the order up on us. They

4:26

did. I think it's typically like whoever is

4:28

ready. It usually goes usually goes Vic, Kellen

4:30

and Michael Clay. But man, Michael Clay came

4:33

barreling in right after Vic. I know I had

4:35

to change the order in my notebook.

4:37

It really threw a lot of people off. I will

4:39

go through some of the takeaways from those guys. We

4:41

want to talk about Darius Slay a

4:43

little bit. He's obviously a hot topic in

4:46

the city right now, not even in that

4:48

store is play. Have I ever

4:50

been in a hot topic? I have been, yes. I have you

4:52

really? Yeah, OK, been to a

4:54

mall. I remember being like

4:56

12 going into a hot topic thinking. Like

4:59

we probably shouldn't be in here. Risky

5:02

stuff in here. Such a rebel. Yeah, yeah,

5:04

no big deal, you know. So

5:07

12 year old rebel I was in the

5:09

summer and still are. Yeah, I'm still a

5:11

12 year old rebel. Some

5:14

ways, OK anyway, we

5:17

also want to kind of get our takes

5:19

on the concern meter for a lot of

5:21

the Eagles issues. Call it the

5:23

worry meter. I could call it the worry meter. You're right,

5:25

that's a good idea. I don't know why I didn't think

5:27

of that. Maybe you get finer to put together

5:30

a worry meter like a. You

5:32

have like a thermometer thing and it goes up and

5:34

down that until then we'll just go on a 1

5:36

to 10 scale. Will do that later. We have a

5:38

bunch of questions too. Some

5:41

really fun ones emails coming in during

5:43

the game on Sunday. Yeah,

5:46

pretty cathartic for some people with Amex

5:48

Platinum. You can enjoy access to dedicated

5:50

5:52

skipping the line makes you the star

my pro football writers writing contest

30:02

honorable mention and 89 feature

30:05

on Jesse small. Okay.

30:08

Uh, no, I didn't feel compelled to do

30:10

that. Okay. The dairy slated slay. In this

30:12

case, dairy slay. Really? Yeah, I think so.

30:14

He deserves a darius for this. And let's

30:16

talk about this because it's become a big

30:18

topic of conversation. Um, after

30:21

the game, it slide was on

30:23

Twitter or X whatever. Uh, and

30:25

he was seeing some comments from fans. I guess

30:27

it, it irked him a little bit. So he does

30:30

it. Yeah. And look, I think that's

30:32

natural, but you're in a position where

30:34

you're a public figure and you know,

30:36

this stuff is coming. So we tweeted

30:38

out in a since deleted post, uh,

30:41

some of his career accomplishments and all

30:43

of it's true. 150 pass breakups and

30:45

counting 28 picks and counting six time

30:48

pro bowl all pro. When he talked

30:50

bad about me, don't forget to mention

30:52

the greatness of me too with a

30:54

shrug emoji on

30:58

one hand. Sure. You've done all

31:00

that talk your talk. On the other hand, you

31:03

gotta know it's not going to go over well. No,

31:05

it's you gotta read the room a little bit

31:07

better than that. That's a response for like, dirty

31:10

off season. If someone's like slate can't play anymore.

31:12

Um, I don't

31:14

think it's a huge thing, but it does

31:16

bother me. I don't think he should do

31:18

it. I think it's really bad judgment. It's

31:21

just a bad look. What

31:23

bothers me more is his play. I mean,

31:25

I think he's got two interceptions in the

31:28

last 31 games. Um, but opposing

31:30

passer rating is like one 21 or

31:32

something against him. I think he's been awful.

31:35

Uh, but yeah, it's just, it's just a bad look.

31:37

That's not what, what's

31:39

the part, what's the point? Everyone knows you're,

31:42

you know, you've had a really good career, not

31:44

a hall of fame. He thinks he is, but

31:47

I'm okay with him thinking that, but like, but

31:50

after he deleted Tweedy, I apologize and said he's got to

31:52

be better than that. He, you know, but it's,

31:56

I think it's a little immature to 33 to.

42:00

season and just, it's just one thing after

42:02

another and he doesn't seem to have any

42:04

idea how to fix anything. And

42:08

the one thing I think he's good at is, is getting

42:11

players to believe in themselves, understanding

42:15

their roles, communicating, setting culture,

42:17

and none of that's going

42:19

well. So again,

42:24

the next four games all look

42:26

winnable on paper. Playing four teams are

42:28

three and 13. If

42:31

they go three and one, if they go four and oh, that's

42:34

numbers going to come down. That'll show that he has

42:37

the ability to get the, you know, the

42:39

train back on the tracks. But right now it's,

42:41

it's between eight and nine, probably closer to nine.

42:44

Okay. I'm lower on Syria too

42:46

than you just because like, I

42:48

think his role is more

42:51

minimal this year with

42:53

the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator in

42:55

place. The nine is for what his

42:57

role is. I

42:59

mean, I don't

43:01

think he's doing that well. Not

43:04

doing well. Yeah. Yeah. I

43:07

just, I, and look, when you overrule the offensive

43:09

coordinator on the most critical play

43:11

of the game and, you

43:14

know, talking about just before halftime and

43:16

the play blows up and I

43:19

mean, I take that into account too.

43:22

Yeah, you should. That's goes

43:24

into the offensive side of it. Yeah,

43:26

no, certainly. Uh, but I still think

43:28

his role is more minimal this year because you have

43:31

the defensive numbers going to come down. That'll show that

43:33

he has the ability to get the,

43:35

you know, the train back on the tracks, but

43:37

right now it's, it's between eight and nine, probably

43:40

closer to nine. Okay. Uh,

43:42

I'm lower on Syria too than you just

43:44

because like, I think his role

43:46

is more minimal

43:49

this year with the offensive coordinator and

43:51

defensive coordinator in place. The nine is

43:53

for what his role is. Um,

43:56

I mean, I don't

43:59

think he's doing that well. But

46:00

I also don't know, like, I think

46:02

there's some like, some

46:06

impredictability with it. Unpredictability with

46:09

it. Yeah. Yeah.

46:12

You know what I mean? Like, I don't know if I think

46:16

that there'll be some natural regression to the mean here. Yeah,

46:20

you gotta hope so. If I say this one goes

46:22

to 11. Do you know what that's a reference to?

46:24

No, you really don't. I don't the

46:27

greatest movie ever made. This

46:29

is Spinal Tap. Oh, okay.

46:31

When he's showing Meathead.

46:34

What's the guy from All in the Family Meathead? Michael? What's

46:37

his real name? I don't know. So he's

46:39

interviewing the guitar player from Spinal Tap

46:41

guitar player. I guess it's Nigel Tufnell.

46:44

And his amp goes to 10. And then it's

46:46

written in marker. I do know the scene. And

46:48

he's like, why? Why does

46:50

it say 11? Well, this is a really loud amp. This

46:53

one goes to 11. And he says,

46:55

well, why don't you just make 10 like the

46:57

loudest make what's 11 now make that 10. And

47:00

he stares at me goes. This

47:02

one goes to 11. Brilliant.

47:06

I'd probably didn't express it well

47:08

enough. But funniest movie. Anyway,

47:10

this one goes to 11. So what do you

47:13

got? I'm gonna go to 11 here. Eagles

47:15

pass rush. Yeah,

47:17

that might be still my

47:19

biggest concern. I'm gonna

47:22

go nine. I'm going

47:24

nine to 10. I

47:26

can't say 10. Because I think that, you know,

47:28

Jen Carter still going to get some opportunities one

47:30

on one. And he's going to win them here and there. Josh sweats

47:33

been like, I don't know

47:36

a little better. Brandon Graham's playing

47:38

well. It's a huge concern though, because I

47:40

don't think they have the people in the building to fix

47:42

it. Yeah. And they don't really have the

47:45

assets to bring more

47:47

people to the building. Because the money you

47:49

gave huff, I mean, swell be a free

47:51

agent, he probably won't be back. He's

47:55

gonna re-sign he might ask for 12 million

47:58

to play next year. And

48:00

yeah, they've devoted so much money to that position.

48:03

Nolan was a first round pick. He's

48:06

got two years left. So they're

48:08

really in a position where they can't add anybody.

48:12

You're stuck with what you have and it's not looking

48:14

great. And by the way, people have

48:16

been asking about bringing Rettick

48:18

back. There's a rule that I did not

48:20

know about. Yeah, Ian Rappaport reported this, that

48:23

you can't trade back for

48:26

a player within two years of trading him. Yeah.

48:29

So theoretically, like he could be cut

48:31

and then you could sign a player, but that's

48:33

not gonna happen. I mean, I don't think they

48:35

were gonna do that anyway. Weird rule by the way. Yeah.

48:38

I don't know what that's protecting. Yeah,

48:40

I did not expect

48:42

to see that, but yeah, I'm sure there's a reason for

48:44

it. We're Isaiah Rodgers, we don't know the rules. Last

48:49

one, Jalen Hurks. The

48:51

numbers going up. It's just steadily going

48:53

up. Like if you'd asked me after week one,

48:56

I just set a four. I'm

49:00

gonna nade. That's a little higher than

49:02

me. Because for me, it's not

49:04

just this season. Like it's a problem

49:07

beyond this season if he's not who they thought he

49:09

was. Yeah. And it's like a

49:11

limited sample size. So I don't wanna like jump to conclusions.

49:13

That was the lead to my story today. I wrote about

49:15

his turnover. I said, at some point it's not a slump,

49:17

it's who he is. That's exactly what I wrote. You

49:21

can fire the head coach. And they probably

49:23

will if things don't go well. You're stuck with

49:25

Jalen for a little bit longer. Yeah. I'm

49:28

gonna go seven. I mean, I think

49:31

he's still doing some good things. Maybe not

49:33

Sunday as much, but first three

49:35

games, he did some good things. I

49:37

mean, he's completing a high percentage of his passes. He's at like 68, 69%

49:39

for the year. He

49:44

hasn't had his receivers. And

49:47

maybe it's that simple, right? It could be. But

49:51

I'm getting pretty concerned. Slow

49:55

starts are largely on him, not all

49:57

on him. And

50:00

I feel like he doesn't have any answers

50:02

like, you know, he's. So,

50:05

yeah, it's fairly high. You what did

50:07

you go? You went eight. I went eight. Yeah,

50:09

I'll go seven. We have a request

50:11

from Alex here. Our producer,

50:13

Alex Vic Fangio on the

50:16

concern meter real quick. Where you at

50:18

there? I'm not real high on

50:21

Vic. Oh, I don't mean I'm

50:23

not real high on him. I'd say a four. I just

50:25

don't think he has the players. I'm

50:27

like a five. He might not have the players.

50:30

I also think there's a chance that the Eagles

50:32

like right now, what we've seen from this defense

50:34

is like they're really good against bigger personnel packages

50:37

when most of the league in 2024 is an 11 personnel.

50:41

And that's that's a little troubling. Like this

50:43

defense will be great in 1992, but it's 2024. And

50:47

it was great in 1992. All

50:50

right. That was fun. Yeah. Now let's

50:52

get to some questions before we finish out

50:54

this pod. Yeah. As a reminder, Eagle Eye

50:56

at NBC Uni dot com. If you're watching

50:58

on YouTube, you have that QR code. You

51:00

can scan it. Feel free to send in

51:02

questions. We're going to do a Thursday episode

51:04

this week. Just all questions were a little

51:06

backlogged in the email. But send

51:08

some looking forward into the by and through

51:10

the rest of the season, because a lot

51:13

of the questions we have today were from

51:15

this game and some came

51:17

during the game. Let's

51:19

get a sampling of some of these. First

51:21

one from Jonathan. Afternoon, gentlemen. I'm

51:24

watching the Eagles get shellacked by the Bucs

51:26

again. It sucks. And I'm going to mow

51:28

the grass. Have a great rest of your

51:30

weekend and love the show. What

51:33

if he has a zero turn? I

51:35

don't know. But I like Jonathan's outlook. He's not

51:38

going to let a football game ruin

51:40

his Sunday. He's going to go mow the lawn, get

51:42

a little outside time, get some some

51:44

vitamin D, see the sunshine a little bit. So,

51:46

yeah, I would I never do that as a

51:48

personal thing. Like if a team I'm

51:51

rooting for, I'll watch till till the

51:54

end of the game, no matter how bad it gets. Really?

51:57

Yeah, I don't know why. I just. I feel

51:59

like. I'll enjoy the wins more if I put

52:01

myself through the losses. Oh my God. We're going

52:03

to have to have a psychiatrist on analyze

52:06

that or finder. He's

52:08

got like staff psychiatry. All right.

52:10

Next one from Joshua. Jalen

52:13

is incompetent. How did this happen? Rub

52:15

should start at QB coming out of

52:17

the by you ready? Um,

52:21

I don't think they're out of practice squad elevations for

52:23

me. They'd have to sign me. Um,

52:25

he's not incompetent. He's struggling right now. Um,

52:29

you know, he's done some good things, but he's

52:31

a talented player. Yeah. Who needs to get

52:33

back on track. Yeah.

52:35

Uh, you know, you look, he's had a

52:37

lot of injuries too. And I

52:40

wonder if there's a cumulative effect with him because he

52:42

just doesn't look like the same guy. Uh,

52:45

from John happy overreaction Sunday

52:47

night, guys, I anticipate there'll be a

52:49

lot of Nick Sirianni emails coming in

52:52

and there were, so might as

52:54

well throw my hand in the bucket. I

52:56

understand that Nick wants to take responsibility

52:58

for the team's poor performance, but clearly

53:00

there is a lot of responsibility on

53:02

the players to execute. Is he

53:04

just taking the heat for media purposes or

53:07

do we think he's relaying similar sentiments

53:09

to the players? I would be extremely

53:11

concerned if he's not holding his players

53:13

accountable for their mistakes. That's a crucial

53:15

piece of development, especially for the young

53:17

players on the team. Yeah.

53:19

He's always going to protect all those guys in,

53:21

in press conferences, but

53:25

from, from sometimes too much, but sometimes

53:27

certainly too much. Uh, but yeah, I

53:29

mean, he'll, he'll get on

53:31

guys in, you know, behind closed

53:33

doors. Um, I don't know to what

53:36

extent and I don't know if it's enough. Well, I mean,

53:38

the one thing we've heard about him is like in his

53:40

team meetings, it's been a staple of his team meetings. He

53:42

will show a play on the board

53:44

and someone makes a mistake. He will flash that number

53:47

up on the screen no matter who it is. So,

53:49

and that was, and he'd said that again. He's told

53:51

us that for years, but he told us that again.

53:53

And we've heard that from players too. It's not just,

53:55

yes, but he told us that on Monday in

53:58

response to a question about Jalen. Like,

54:00

so he wouldn't, he said that's for

54:02

everybody. I mean, he wouldn't say,

54:04

you know, Jaylen, but he says for everybody.

54:06

So he's doing that. And

54:09

yeah, he'll always do that, but

54:12

he's just not gonna, he'll never throw a player under the

54:14

bus in public. Yeah, I mean, I think part of his

54:16

job right now is to kind of be like a lightning

54:18

rod, like take all the criticism

54:21

and shield it from the players, from the

54:23

coordinators, from ownership, for

54:25

bringing them back in the first place, the GM for

54:28

having some big swings and misses in the

54:30

off season. A lot of it just

54:32

comes down to Nick getting blamed. He deserves a lot

54:34

of it, probably not all of it. Next

54:38

question here from Jim. Oh,

54:41

I'm sorry, from Brendan. I know hindsight's 20-20

54:44

and they didn't wanna overpay for him, but

54:46

how do they not get Redick to stay

54:49

here? I know he wanted the big contract,

54:51

but it's not an overpay if he performs.

54:53

Double digit sack guys don't grow on trees.

54:55

Even if he wasn't the first team all

54:57

pro this year, his play would have elevated

54:59

those around him. Yeah,

55:02

that's a complicated thing. I think they thought that

55:05

Huff would, I mean, Huff had 10 sacks

55:07

last year. How many Redick have? 11

55:09

or 12. I mean, they thought they could get a

55:11

much cheaper version of Redick.

55:15

To this point, it looks like a gross miscalculation.

55:17

Well, they have the same number of sacks, same

55:21

number of hurries, but yeah,

55:23

it does. It looks like a huge misjudgment. I

55:26

think, you know, there's, when

55:29

you have a player who's been, and I like Hassan,

55:31

I like him, but he's not been

55:33

on four teams in five years and

55:36

there's usually a reason for that when a guy is on

55:40

that many teams. And, you

55:42

know, he's kind of, you

55:45

see what's going on with the Jets. And I'm

55:48

not saying he would have done that here, but he's

55:50

lost $9 billion. What are you thinking?

55:53

I think he's just seen by the front

55:55

office as a guy who makes trouble

55:58

for himself and for the team. And he

56:00

speaks his mind. I mean, when they, when they

56:03

changed D coordinators, he was the only guy in

56:05

that locker room to say, this is really hard.

56:07

Kevin Beyer too. Okay. Okay.

56:10

But, you know, he's, he's

56:12

one of two guys to say, this is

56:14

like really hard to do. We

56:17

have, you know, we don't know what we're doing. We don't know where to

56:19

go. We've got, you know, you can't

56:21

change defensive corners in the middle of the season. Um,

56:24

I just think he's, he's viewed, uh, as

56:27

a potential problem by, by management.

56:32

Yeah. But he's really good. $9

56:36

million. Yeah. I

56:39

mean, I think if how we could go back in time

56:41

and just pay him, he would have. Most

56:44

likely. And

56:46

at the time, like, I think we're both saying that at the

56:48

time, I realized I know I was like pay this guy. Sure.

56:51

Yeah. Yeah. It's productive. Yeah. Uh,

56:54

next question from Jim. Hey

56:57

guys, love the pod. It's the first podcast I

56:59

listened to every Monday morning on my way to

57:01

work. I am. I'm sorry. I, he's also obviously

57:03

a lot older than Huff. And I think that

57:05

was part of the equation too. You're going to

57:07

younger guy cheaper. Sure. Yeah. Uh,

57:09

from Jim, Hey guys, love the pod. It's the first

57:11

podcast I listened to every Monday morning on my way

57:14

to work. I always look forward to

57:16

hearing your opinions on the game each week. Rube

57:18

bringing up the fact that the Eagles haven't scored

57:20

a first quarter point all year made me wonder

57:22

how coaches are scripting the first 10 to 15

57:25

plays of every game. Is

57:27

it possible that Nick is pushing for more of

57:29

his plays to be included in the scripted plays

57:32

to start the game each week? Does the offense

57:34

start to play better when more is able to

57:36

get in the flow of calling his plays? I

57:38

don't know if we'll ever know the answer, but

57:41

after hearing that Nick sometimes calls plays during the

57:43

game, I can't help but wonder if he's

57:45

overstepping in this as well. Would love to

57:47

hear your thoughts. Yeah. I

57:50

mean, he didn't really have much to offer. Uh,

57:53

I mean, he did say that a lot of it is like kind of. testing

58:00

the waters, getting the ball to your key players, but seeing

58:02

how the defense is going to play you. Yeah. Um,

58:07

and the other thing about 15, like

58:10

you don't know when you're scripting those plays, you don't know

58:12

what the defense is going to be doing. So a lot

58:15

of times you're going away from that script really early.

58:17

Um, he didn't really have much to say. I

58:19

don't think, I mean, obviously there's plays

58:22

in those 15 that are, that are Nick

58:24

plays that are plays that were part of the, the

58:28

playbook last year. I mean, I

58:30

don't think they've hidden that, but I think, I think

58:33

Callan has pretty much has autonomy

58:35

for that, for putting that together. I'm

58:37

sure Nick's there when he's doing

58:39

it or they go through it, they

58:42

go over it. But I think it's reasonable to think

58:45

that Nick has more influence on the opening

58:47

script than he does the rest of the

58:49

game though, just logistically. He would.

58:51

Yeah. I'm sure it's, it's

58:53

somewhat, somewhat collaborative, but

58:56

beyond that, I don't know. Yeah.

58:59

I don't know either. By the way, as far

59:01

as the six straight games without a, uh, I

59:03

looked this up this morning, now the

59:05

street, the team streak finder only goes back to 1970.

59:09

Well, this, they haven't gone six games

59:11

in that period without scoring a first

59:14

quarter point. So then I

59:16

had to go game by game year by

59:18

year. So what I did

59:20

was that there's a touchdown log on each team's

59:22

page. So you can look at

59:24

that and see if there's a gap of close to,

59:26

you know, like of six games where they didn't score

59:28

a touchdown. So that's the easy part. Then when you

59:30

find that gap, you have to go through each box

59:32

score to see if they scored like

59:35

if they, and I found it, I went back to

59:37

1955. They

59:40

went seven straight games without scoring a point

59:42

in the first quarter from, uh, starting

59:45

with week four, uh, they

59:47

played at Forbes field in Pittsburgh. And

59:49

then ending the seventh game of the streak was

59:51

a loss to the Rams at County Mac stadium.

59:54

So we're playing in a lot of baseball stadiums

59:56

back then. Uh, the streak

59:58

ended in week 11. And Dick

1:00:00

Bealski kicked a 24 yard field goal in the

1:00:02

first quarter of a game against

1:00:04

the cards, also at Connie Mack Stadium. Dick

1:00:07

Bealski in that game, kicked two field

1:00:09

goals and ran for a touchdown. Wow.

1:00:13

Yeah, it was a big game for

1:00:15

old Dick Bealski. Good for him.

1:00:18

Yeah. All

1:00:21

right. I just wanted to throw that in there. I like

1:00:23

that. We'll do one more question and then we'll save the

1:00:25

rest of these for Thursday. Hey

1:00:27

guys, I appreciate your insights each pod. Have

1:00:29

you ever seen so many players playing positions

1:00:31

that they didn't practice in training camp? Dick

1:00:33

Bealski was born in maple shade, by the

1:00:35

way. That's interesting.

1:00:37

Nice time friendly people. Any

1:00:40

idea why they are doing it? What was the

1:00:42

question? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. Oh

1:00:44

gosh. I was going through Dick Bealski's bio. Hey

1:00:46

guys. He was a top 10 pick. Yes.

1:00:52

Hey guys, I appreciate your insights each

1:00:54

pod. Have you ever seen so many

1:00:56

players playing positions that they didn't practice

1:00:58

in training camp? Any idea of why

1:01:00

they were doing it? And he gave

1:01:02

some examples. Devin White starting

1:01:04

linebacker, not even dressing. Quinn Young Mitchell

1:01:06

slot cornerback, now an outside cornerback. Avante

1:01:09

Maddox at safety, now the nickel corner. Landon

1:01:12

Dickerson left guard playing center in the

1:01:14

game. Dickerson was fine,

1:01:16

probably the best choice, but why

1:01:18

not practice? Does practice even matter? Well,

1:01:21

they get reps. They'll get a few reps at

1:01:23

positions that they may play. So

1:01:26

yeah, and especially in training camp, we would

1:01:28

see guys all over the place. Avante, we

1:01:30

saw him at safety and saw him in

1:01:33

the slot. I'm

1:01:35

not sure we saw him at outside corner at all, but

1:01:38

yeah, and you

1:01:40

know, like if a guy

1:01:42

takes a day off or has hurt or misses practice,

1:01:44

they'll move guys around. And so those

1:01:46

guys have taken reps. You're not going to

1:01:48

put a guy, there might not be a lot of reps,

1:01:50

or you're not going to put a guy somewhere he's never,

1:01:53

unless you have to, just because there's so many injuries

1:01:55

at one position. Yeah, I do think it's like

1:01:57

a fair point with some of these, like Devin

1:01:59

White.
