00:00All right, the first guy I heard say why not us was Rev T calls into this show all the time and
00:06Now you can see that that that has picked up where everybody believes in it, you know
00:11How are you allowing yourself or how long have you been thinking? Oh hell if anybody do it we could do it
00:16Yeah, no, I I totally think that we have a we have a great chance
00:20We're not to be the betting favorites Vegas doesn't think that we're the favorites the public
00:25I don't know. I I think I'm seeing a lot of money come in on the commanders against the spread
00:30But you know, we're definitely an underdog like don't don't get it twisted. The Eagles are not underdogs
00:36Don't let them try to tell you all we're doing the Philly thing where we put the German Shepherd masks on
00:41Nobody believes in us. Nobody likes us. Yeah, you guys are the juggernaut. You guys are supposed to be here
00:45We're gonna disappointment if the Eagles weren't there, but we're very much an underdog going in this game
00:50But we have a very real chance to win the game too
00:53And I think I think most honest Eagles fans would even admit that that you know, we always talk about
01:00How we wanted to be fear we wanted to be hated by people in inside the NFC East and for the longest time
01:07It was just you know
01:08Philly and Dallas thought about each other didn't think about Washington could be bothered to think about the commanders of the Giants for you
01:14know the last decade and
01:16We wanted to be back in that conversation. Well, we're back. We're we are in that car
01:21We are hated by the city of Philadelphia, but I also think that they're a little bit. They're a little bit afraid
01:26I think that they are angry that Jaden that they have to play Jim that he's in the division
01:32They they realize that hey, we don't have the best quarterback in the division anymore
01:36We're you know in the words of the words of good fellas
01:40I don't know if you heard Philly, but you know, I've been going a long time. I don't shine shoes no more
01:45You know, like this is
01:47This is us telling Philly like be prepared for the long term and also in fairness to Philly
01:54I'm upset that big Dom is in the division because big Dom I were I fear that man
01:59That's the guy that I wish was in any other division their security guy
02:06You know a big job because I heard a story that big Dom keeps a stack of cannolis next to his desk
02:11I've known Dom since back in the early like right in 2000. I got there Dom has been around a long time, bro
02:18Yeah, but the one guy that that really scares me up Philly is is Jalen Carter that guy
02:23Yeah, he just wrecks any game plan you throw at him
02:26You're not going to be able to to like put one guy on and expect that
02:30You're gonna limit him to get into the back foot
02:32You have to you have to scheme around him
02:34You have to get him moving right to left after he crashes to the inside and try to that's why I think Austin Eckler might
02:39Have a big game for us. I know he did in that that Thursday night against them
02:44but I think we're gonna have to scheme plays away from Jalen Carter and that doesn't necessarily just mean like
02:49handing the ball off and running away from I mean like doing a little bit of misdirection making him change direction and
02:56And hitting somebody out wide but that that is that's a concern for me is dealing with that bad man
03:01Because he will he will smash your hands out of the way if you try to put hands on him
03:05And he'll be in the backfield cause the fumble before you can play
