Here is a link to the QBS livestream that EJ and Arjun Menon did a while back to explain how the sausage is made! -- kzfaq.info7-rMee02K7Q?si=qnTpuUwCmljh8fzX

Desean Jackson has the craziest football stat I’ve ever heard. For his career. He averaged 46 yards per touchdown. For HIS CAREER!!!! No one else is even close. Yall should mention that sometime in the future

As a Pennsylvanian the whole east PA - west PA rivalry is overblown but mistaking Pittsburgh for Philly is unthinkable

It’s not a Bootleg Football episode without an unhinged title & one of the guys (mainly Brett) tells us to grab a drink

Everyone asks why did the Eagles collapse, but never why did they start off with so many wins. My personal opinion was that the majority of their early games were rain games and hid a lot of their weakness on defense. Once the Cowboys and 49ers built the blueprint to expose the scheme everyone saw it and the Eagles coaches had no response. Conspiracy theory was that Matt Patricia was hired because they knew early on that Desai was a mistake and wanted a back up plan, that also was a disaster.

Can't wait for that cowboy one tomorrow. Hopefully I can clear 5 mins of my day to watch all that they did in the offseason.

JT OSullivan was screaming all year about the Eagles not having any hot reads for blitz....it was frustrating as hell.... and when the defense falls apart the offense couldn't save them anymore because the hot reads started getting home late and Hurts couldn't escape the pocket... 49ers gave the league the blueprint....now we have to adjust

I’m an eagles fan so I may be biased but last year just felt so frustrating because it felt like there was no identity on offense or defense or even a sense that the coordinators were trying to establish an identity especially on defense it felt like they kept throwing stuff at the wall to see if it stuck and it didn’t I’m hopeful that the new coordinators younger secondary and a rb that can block will make it a lot easier to watch

Loved how Brett broke down the Hurts contract... you did it better than anybody else who've attempted to explain it....its designed to be extended....plus he has a no trade clause in there....some extra info for the Hurrs haters throwing out false info (Howard Eskin)

A lot went wrong for PHI last year but nothings going wrong with y’all’s video title choices. Just straight hot 🔥 every time. Don’t you ever change. Guessing the next videos name is big part of the fun.

The way he talks about Eagles fans needing group therapy would make you think they won 4 games last year instead of 11

Not an Eagles fan, but Nick Sirianni keeping his job was crazy.

Really looking forward to seeing the Eagles live here in Brazil, I think we are in for a treat

Coaching was horrendous from the start of the year but what people forget this team won EVEN WITH the lack of adjustments and bad scheme(won in KC btw)…making a Super Bowl run is harder than most think and it’s even harder to get back the following year… the poor coaching combined with injuries eventually caught up to the team.. with an easier schedule in 2024-25 guarantee this team will look a lot different

As an Eagles fan, last season was so bonkers! I hope we don't flame out like last season. 🤞🏼

The Eagles Linebacker play HAS to be better. It was absolutely bottom-of-the-barrel stuff last year and sold the secondary (which was overly picked on by national media). I mean, half of the 2023 Eagles LBs wouldn't have made the roster on 31 teams in the league. They costed Sean Desai his job and were the reason the Niners and Cowboys cracked the code. Nakobe, Baun and Devin White NEED to be better than our group last year for the defense to have any success.

Thoroughly Enjoyed this. Very well thought out and very entertaining!

New riff! Great stuff

Where the cowboys episode 😢

Good stuff

Eagles are an interesting case study of a team not having that added gear in key moments. With their offense lacking finesse trying to live in shotgun (along with Hurt's legs not being at 100%) to their defense not being able to stop teams from putting up points. By the numbers overall they look 'good' if one didn't watch their games from the first half of the season to the 2nd half where they truly underperformed. Not only did the offense looked like they were out of ideas but going from Desai to Patricia on defense should have been very telling how conflicted that coaching staff was with their results.

Nick had nothing to do with changing things up this year. That was Jeffrey’s call because he realized his coach wasn’t as good offensively as he thought without Shane Steichen. And the title aggravates me like we are the jets or something 😂

Rip getting the Cowboys on Friday 😢

Brian johnson scapegoating was always so funny to me man

As far as I’m concerned, we still suck. We still suck until we start winning again, which obviously can’t happen until September. Although I am optimistic that we quickly corrected the coordinator situation and brought in vets on both sides.

I follow the birds very closely and i cant find anywhere where you went wrong, so well done.

In 22 the Eagles won many of their games before halftime. Largely because of how the Eagles could sustain drives. Last year's defence had a lot of problems. But, what is often overlooked is how quickly they often had to return to the field late in games. From a strategic perspective, aside from scoring points, you win games by keeping your defense fresh and making your opponents tired.

You all forgot how unbelievably lethally awesome Jake Elliot is. That kick to win the Buffalo game needs to be in a perpetual loop on a screen in Canton. That man looks and lives the part of a GANGSTER...On an unrelated note--has anyone seen Trea Turner and Jake Elliot in the same room? Asking for a friend...

The fact that Deandre Swift had a career yr with some games low amount of run attempts should have eagles fan pumped for Saquon.

You guys probably should have talked with local media a bit more before doing this pod. Quinyon Mitchell is probably 4th on the CB depth chart, they’re rotating Isaiah Rodgers and Kelee Ringo opposite Slay. And Vic Fangio has Zach Baun playing ILB not edge

Love the center placement of that new riff bottle. GREAT bottle of bourbon

Ill believe it when i see it

Really interesting to hear you both, speaking in May, on the subject of Zach Baun since we now know in OTA's and minicamp he was getting a *ton* of first team reps. It really seemed to surprise the two beat writers in Philly who do a twice-weekly podcast.

There is so much I can talk about in this video and being an Eagles fan I really wanted to talk about the more underrated free agent picks like Julien Okwara and others but I HAVE to mention the amazing graphics that were in this video and the series as a whole.

Ive been watching the Eagles since 1980, I can't remember a year where their defense was worse, it was hard to watch, they couldnt stop anything

Can't tell if that is the New Riff Single Barrel or just the bottled in bond or even another offering, but I must say that the New Riff Single barrels are some of the best values in bourbon and SO DAMNED TASTY!

Nice

DJax was a damn beast!!!

As an eagles fan I’m gonna need a bottle of Hennessy and some hypnotic to chase it to get through this

I'd watch a Dream Team doc. I'd watch it through my fingers, but I'd watch it. Especially the section on the Galaxy Brain coaching moves. The big difference between Chiefs Andy Reid and Eagles Andy Reid: Chiefs Andy Reid is smarter than 90% of the league; Eagles Andy Reid thought he was smarter than 90% of the league

please do a mini doc on the eagles dream team 🙏

The end of last szn almost made me give up football all together

Can you do afc west next I don’t wanna wait for the chargers video 🥺

You guys did a good job covering the eagles, only two things I feel like deserve more time focusing on is Isaiah Rodgers coming back from suspension and signing back cjgj. I just feel like it’s ironic that the eagles were so bad at secondary last year and had such a good draft with the Db’s and we’re not even gonna start any rookies

feel like they are underselling impact of kelce/ cox retirement. add on to that fixing corner with pair of rookies even though I like those players seems a little rich. see them as 8 to 11 wins still though

Going to sound weird, but Jake Elliott saved the Eagles a ton last year.

If you’re an Eagles fan, do you really want Sirianni as your coach? He clearly can’t call plays offensively or defensively and struggled to keep the team together down the stretch. Like he’s supposed to be an offensive guy but Steichen literally made that offense what it was. IMO it’s time to get a better coach.

“That’s the too long didn’t listen version” at 19 minutes into an hour+ long show 😂

My worst nightmare💔💔

how much do you guys think the loss of Kelce will effect the tush push? (apologies if you brought it up in the episode I'm only like 2/3s of the way through

Love hearing ab my Bengals even though it's an eagles episode 😂

I hope Saquon turns out to be a bargain at RB5. I think he has a legitimate shot at being the most productive back in the league this year. He catches really well, his outside running is incredible, he can run inside, he's got speed, and the Eagles have a great line. Saquon's had a bit of a snakebit career and he seems like a great dude, so I'm always rooting for him.

the defence sucked beacuse they lost johnathan gannon and nick rallis, those guys are good coaches

They felt just like the 10-1 steelers from about 5years ago

Dont hate me, but did Kelce have a large blame in switching to/calling insufficient pass pro? It just doesn’t make sense how undermanned they were over and over, like was almost comical.

They get all that $ because how they structured hurts contract. It gives them leeway to sign good players. Howie is a genius not gonna lie. He’s killed the draft and FA. He’s super aggressive

Y’all should check out Kellen Moore’s blitz pick up track record for the chargers……. lol

Bears Prince Amukamara mentioned

Cooper DeJean, the 2nd best athlete to come out of Iowa last year.

Johnny Wilson is discount Funches

The Eagles, mainly “Hurts”, got exposed but because of bad evaluation he gets an excuse. They went away from the run n he struggled…PERIOD!! Also, the fact that he couldn’t run as usual also exposed his inability to throw from the pocket. Am I saying he “can’t” throw from the pocket? Of course not, but that isn’t his strength and if he were graded purely on his ability to throw from the pocket he wouldn’t be graded as highly. They hope that with Saquon they’ll get back to and stick with the run but that will cause problems with AJ Brown again as it did last year n why they got away from the run in the 1st place……

I honestly don't think Nick had anything to do with getting Fangio or Kellen Moore in, Tbh if things don't go right, Nick is gone and Kellen most likely becomes head coach, I even think if things go right he still might be gone. I think the birds go 13 wins, corner now is one of the strongest positions in the team which was probably the worst last year and LB has been addressed as long as Dean, Trotter Jr or Baun steps up with Devin White

Question when is the raiders one coming out

Go birbs

Please please pleaseee release the cowboys episode

Go Birds 🦅

Gotta keep an eye on the new Australian kid

The D was terrible last season but the Offense wasnt very good either unfortunately. The games we won, we won them because of the insane talent of our skill players and Hurts and the tush push. But the playcalling (runplay call %, playdesign, variety, etc) was truly horrible most of the season. Unimaginitive. And the blitzes killed us BAD. I have faith in Moore because 1. he cant really do it worse then last year. 2. he has experience. Im sure he can be criticized for some stuff too, but the experience alone makes me hopeful.

E A G L E S EAGLESSSSSS🦅🦅🦅

Naw, seriously, where are they getting the money?!?! How?!?

You can tell Brett vaguely understands the cap but just takes Over the Cap at face value. No Jalen Hurts does not have "7 void years," mostly because that is NOT ALLOWED by the CBA. He has 4 void years that stretch from 2029-2032, which will become irrelevant because the Eagles will extend him otherwise they will be on the hook for nearly $100M in 2029.

All year I kept saying they looked like the Vikings from the previous year just frauds, watching there offense was so frustrating it was junior high like. I’m shocked Brian Johnson got another job. Overall I’m hopeful for this season, losing reddick hurts alot more than most realize, really hope huff emerges to the guy they paid for

Howie drafts like if an armchair gm was actually a gm

Feels like Sirianni is in a no-win situation. If the offense disappoints he's getting canned, if the offense is really good, he might still get canned to be replaced by Kellen Moore.

Brett try to not say distillation challenge: impossible

One guy you guys overlooked in terms of roster additions. Another Aussie rugby player we signed at a young age Laekin Vakalahi, 6'5" 320.

COOPER DEJEAN IS A CORNER

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa2ho9Z8uaqnZqs.html At the 15:43 mark of this unscripted video you can hear Nick tell Lane that he wasn't going to give him any help. The worst part about this is that it came out before the season began. That part of the video should never have seen the light of day, yet the Eagles saw fit to basically announce to the world through their youtube page that blitzing Lane's side was going to be a recipe for success. I like Nick, but it was a monumental blunder on his part to even go into the season with this type of mindset no matter how good Lane is. You can tell this was on Lane's mind when he made the remarks he did at the end of the season. "It’s embarrassing when you start 10-1 and lose six of seven," he told reporters on Tuesday. "We had six weeks to tell you how we were going to fix it, we didn’t do s---. It’s the first time I’ve ever been in this kind of position. I never wanna be in this position again." To go through the last 6 weeks of the season and not have a single answer against the blitz is completely inexcusable. This also falls on Hurts though, as it's his responsibility to read those blitzes and set the protection on the field. Hopefully Hurts will hit the ground running when it comes to using motion, diagnosing coverage/blitzes and creating mismatches...but I have my doubts. He has thus far not used motion to do either of those things throughout his career. Under every single coach he has ever played under the offense has always looked the same. Stagnant, no misdirection...and easily blown up by blitz heavy defensive schemes. If Jalen develops that part of his game...he will be dangerous. Until then he's a huge target that will continue to see the highest blitzing percentage in the league.

It's hard to be excited when our new DC asked to leave Miami and they just let him go, and our new OC couldn't hold a job with Dak or Herbert. I guess I like them better than the disaster we had last year, but Fangio and Moore aren't moving the needle so much for me.

So it was Johnson and Patricia’s fault?

wtf does siriani do? seems the coordinators are doing everything

FINALLY

You called Bowers TE2? stop. he’s WR2 yes…. but stop that wtf? that’s just being bold to be bold i’m at a loss

The reason their Defense sucked last year was because they let Marcus Epps go to the Raiders ;)

Did he just say that Brock Bowers, the 13th overall pick and one of the best tight end prospects in recent memory, is gonna be TE2 on the Raiders? 🤔🤔🤔😭😭

Are they though? Last time weve seen them play they were one of the worst teams in the league for a significant stretch. Yes, they made a lot of changes and added some talent but they've yet to put anything on the field to convince me that they're better. Rookies are typically bad at football.

There is absolutely nothing to be excited regarding Clint Hurtt. He's truly awful. The Seahawks defense, specifically the run defense has been absolutely atrocious the previous two years. He was unable to get stops on third down and is awful at scheming up pressure. I'm sorry Philly fans, this guy is a dud.

So basically they howie did what the saints have been doing and get killed for but they are called genius for it.

Ngl, I’m a hater. Hope Sirriani gets fired. Can’t stand the guy.

Why did the Eagles collapse? Matt Patricia got promoted. Everyone is overthinking this LOL. Matt Patricia knows where all the bodies are buried: That's the only explanation why he keeps getting work. He's football cancer.

Devonta Smith being Mr Consistent? fr? let's look at that volatility game by game

Eagles still have the same HC, will do the same Eagles stuff, and it seems like Hurts hates the new offense.

they are gonna lose in the wildcard round to the falcons

Good again until they play a good team

The Jets gave that eagles team their first lost, Zach Wilson owns them

Eagles had the 10th ranked rushing defense

Tiffany Maxwell is so hot even though I dislike this team.

Fuggen boring shit.

Cry Eagles Cry. Whos ready to watch the Crygles finish 4th in the division. You were only good cuz of jason
