Intro all right so the Eagles week one Showdown with the
Packers is almost here and just ahead of that head coach Nick serani made a guarantee for the Eagles
offense as he's 100% confident that they've solved one key problem that plagued them last year
and if they have it'll be huge for the birds offensive success this season meanwhile safety
CJ gner Johnson backed up his head coach ahead of the matchup as he gave a great endorsement to
Nick serani and praised him after an offseason filled with criticism and chony also expressed
his excitement for the week one opener against the Packers speaking of which what are the
keys to the Eagles coming away with the win well we're going to dive into that as well as all
the other latest Eagles news right before the week one opener starting right now what's going on
everybody Welcome to the Philly fan 21 Channel Eagles and Packers LAND In Brazil! if you're new I'm Evan and I cover all things
Philadelphia Eagles and it's official both the Eagles and the Packers have made the trip down to
South Pao ahead of their Friday night matchup as both teams arrived on Wednesday night after flying
for pretty much the entire day and the birds also practiced on Thursday just ahead of the game and
now as of the time of this recording we have just one more day to go before the NFL's first ever
Brazil game and I'm just so so excited because football is back and the Philadelphia Eagles
have a chance to do something special and just Eagles Release Kickoff Hype Video! a day ahead of the season opener the Eagles gave
fans even more of a reason to be excited as they dropped their official kickoff hype video
for the season and it was pretty [Music] [Music] unique yo yo yo yo [Music] yo yo [Music] it and of course I love the inclusion
of Kelsey and Fletch so I don't know could have been better yes but still just
seeing the eagles drop their official kick off video just got me even more pumped than I
already was for this game but it's obviously not CJ Gardner-Johnson EXCITED To Dominate As An Eagle Again! just the fans who are excited about the opener
the Eagles players are pretty excited too and one guy in particular that is pretty pumped for
the birds match up with the Packers is safety CJ Garner Johnson as he's a guy that we know
always brings the energy and the juice whether it's game day or just a practice I mean we've
seen it throughout the summer during training camp for example in these clips when he was
miked up at practice oh yeah I'm out that s s hey hey shut your ass up boy that's a tfl and
of course seeing this was the furthest thing from unexpected as this is just who Gardner Johnson is
he's the same guy we all remember and love that was here back in 2022 when he helped the Eagles
pass defense become the top ranked group in the league and also just heavily contributed to the
bird success on their run to Super Bowl 57 while also bringing his constant energy and attitude
which is one of the things that makes CJ such a valuable guy to have in the locker room and
this game will be the first time CJ has played for the Eagles since the Super Bowl lost to the
Chiefs and safe to say he's pretty excited for it uh to be honest with you it feel good I mean it's
like a family reunion so I mean and go out there to be hon just want to get the fans a nice show
we out in Brazil know Philly fans going to love it regardless win win or lose a draw it doesn't
matter but going to Brazil put on a a jersey that I put on two years ago to go to Super Bowl going
to be phenomenal I just love how much CJ truly seems to enjoy playing for the Eagles and how
much he just cherishes playing for this city in this organization and again this is one of those
things that has just made him a fan favorite here in Philadelphia along with of course the energy
and the toughness and the trash talk and even the leadership that he brings which is something
that Nick serani mentioned recently I mean all that stuff is just added value when it comes to
CJ on top of the value that he obviously brings with just his play on the field as gner Johnson's
a hard-hitting safety who isn't afraid to tackle somebody and who's also a ball Hawk as well so I
just cannot wait to watch Gardner Johnson in an Eagles uniform once again and I can't wait to
see what kind of impact he's going to make in this first game but while we talk about CJ and
his attitude being important partially because CJGJ Says Eagles FEED OFF Nick Sirianni! it rubs off on the other guys there's another guy
who is even more important in the exact same way and that is head coach Nick serani as of course
being the head coach it's his job to get the team thinking the right way and focusing on the right
things for each and every game and it's also his job to just build a great winning culture and CJ
Gunner Johnson seems to think that Nick has done a fantastic job with that has he talked about
what sani's leadership truly means to this team and just why he's so important for them we all Fe
off with Co Nick we all backing Co Nick we already understand he set the standard we go out there
and we live through them like you say it's coach coach fed player lead um I think the biggest thing
for us this year is understanding who we are and not and chiming out the outside noise we know
we know we're capable of uh we know we one of the best best teams roster roster put together in
the league we got to go out there and prove it uh ex's and knows a going wi any game it's all about
going out there physically battling and doing what we need do for for p so first off CJ is right
in the sense that despite them having a ton of Talent on paper that alone will not get it done
so they're going to have to prove it but I also honestly just love hearing CJ give his head coach
credit for that mindset and also just in general I love hearing him give Nick credit because
with all the criticism of sani's performance last season I mean rightfully so but still along
with his adjusted role this year and just all the outside noise surrounding him it's great to hear
a player make it clear that what Nick does is crucial and he's in a lot of ways a driving force
for this team and of course after hearing this CJ Gardner-Johnson DEFENDS Nick Sirianni! answer the media leaned into the serani drama
even more and asked CJ about the outside noise surrounding him but CJ wasn't n having any of it
as he backed up serani and what was just a perfect response you shut the door and you work you shut
the door on people that that ain't supposed to be here that's not saying me we talking about shut
the door on the outside noise and let the noise just be outside while we inside working well I
mean like when when you say you're behind Nick is a rally behind Nick to show no we ain't showing
you guys nothing us showing us going out there and winning the football game and showing yall that
coach [ __ ] doing everything he need to do for this team going out there and and just competing
at a high level and and I said scoring football on offense stopping guys on defense that's what Co
preach and that's what we going to do so we always behind or behind our play our talk don't me just
again I love hearing chony back up his head coach like this and he's also right in what he's saying
and that talk doesn't mean anything and rather if the Eagles are prepared week in and week out and
able to perform at a high level into the standard that serani has laid out for them then that shows
you that Nick is doing his job in addition to just the level of connection and chemistry that the
team has and in my opinion this is going to be a storyline to follow as the season goes on can
Nick serani win back the favor of the city of Philadelphia and while we'll have to wait to see
how things look at the end of the season to get an answer on that getting a win on Friday night would
certainly be a great start for him and one thing Nick Sirianni's GUARANTEE For Eagles Offense! that will help the Eagles pull out the win against
the Packers is their performance in one key area on offense and Nick serani actually recently made
a guarantee that they will be successful at it and don't worry we're going to get into that in so
much more in just a minute but real quick I do want to say if you are enjoying this video and

that being said let's get back into the video so obviously if you'll remember back to last season
one of the Eagles biggest problems especially at the end of the year was Finding answers
against the blitz I mean those last two games especially were absolutely brutal as the Giants
and Bucks just blits the crap out of the Eagles and they had absolutely no answers for it in large
part because the Eagles offense was just a whole bunch of longer developing routes down the field
instead of having hot reads and checkdowns over the middle available for Herz to go to when he
didn't have much time but it sounds like under the new offensive leadership of Kell Moore that
will not be a problem for the birds this year as Nick siani had a recent interview with Tony dungi
where he not only explained that the Eagles have worked extremely hard to fix these issues but
he also pretty much guaranteed that the Eagles will be successful against the blitz this year
well I think the important thing to understand is people will take that strategy against us this
year um and we understand that we know that cuz on once you show something that a team has done well
against you you're going to keep seeing it we're going to have success we've worked so hard against
this blitz and and we're going to and we've put ourselves in position to to be able to have
success but we have to understand what's going to happen is it's going to keep coming right it's
going to keep coming it's going to keep coming it's going to keep coming and we just got to keep
doing the things we need to do to to knock it you know to knock it out and sometimes that answer is
that answer is different right the answer can't be the same depend on who you're playing exactly it
can't be the same every time right because in this league people find out your weaknesses and they'll
and and and and your Tendencies and they'll attack them and and so the answer can be different it can
be you know all the different things that to to stop a blitz I'm not going to as you can see I'm
dancing around the question I'm not going to put all our but you you know I mean I'm thinking as
a defensive coach that's what I'm going to do Jay is such a great decision maker and he puts
pressure on you if I can get the ball out of his hands fast whatever that is yeah and and that's
our and that's our job as coaches to put these guys in positions to make plays and have different
options you know for you know cuz not always this plan one work you know sometimes it has to go
to plan two sometimes it's got to go to plan three sometimes it's got to go to plan four as you
know coach and um and so we have to have all those things ready ready to go and our guys then have to
go and execute I honestly everything that I heard from Nick there I love the confidence he expressed
in talking about how they're going to handle the blitz I love the confidence to guarantee that
they will have success against it because of how hard they've worked at it and I also love the
acknowledgement that it's up to them as coaches to put the players in the best positions to succeed
to put jayen HZ in a position where he has options to go to Against The Blitz and that's really the
attitude that I'm looking for from serani moving forward I mean look it's no secret that he did not
do a good enough job last year making adjustments and providing answers against things like the
blitz but the only thing that he can do now is to take take accountability for his shortcomings and
improve and that started in the first meeting of the offseason where he took full accountability
for how things went last year in front of the entire team and it's continued throughout the
whole offseason until now and assuming they did get things fixed against the blitz while a lot of
that is Kellen Moore serani also does deserve some credit as well for allowing adjustments to be made
and he still does have a hand in the offense even if it's a bit smaller than in the past so I'm
personally excited to follow siani throughout the year to see if he's able to bounce back from
a rough season and I'm also super excited to just watch the Eagles offense and how they're going
to handle the blitz cuz you know the Packers are going to bring the heat on Friday night but
it sounds like the birds are ready for it but Eagles KEYS To Beating Packers! (Offense) handling the blitz won't be the only key to the
Eagles coming away with the win to open the season as offensively the birds have several things that
they're going to have to do to give themselves the best chance to win one being that the Eagles
Elite wide receivers are just going to have to take advantage of matchups with lesser Packers
Corners not named Jer Alexander now I'm not saying the likes of AJ brown or Devonte Smith can't have
success against Alexander but it'd be much easier to go at some of the more unproven guys like
Eric Stokes and keesan Nixon and I'm extremely confident that the Eagles can have success passing
the football in this game especially with Jaylen Hart's looking like he's going to take another
step up and also with the addition of Jan Dodson who could have an impact in this game as well but
what's perhaps more important than throwing the football well is running it well as saquon Barkley
figures to have a heavy workload week in and week out for the Eagles and this week specifically
in his debut he's going up against the defense that was ranked 28th against the run last year so
theoretically he should be able to have a lot of success and if the Eagles are are able to run the
ball effectively and move the ball up and down the field in that way then that's a recipe for them
to control the game and keep the ball away from a Packers offense that can be explosive and also
staying with the offense I'd say another big key is for the offensive line to slow down what can be
an elite Packers pass rush is they got some really good players on their line including Kenny Clark
Preston Smith and ran Gary so it's certainly going to be a tough task for the Eagles offensive line
but they are very good themselves and if they can neutralize the best part of the Packers defense
then they should be set up very nicely to have a lot of offensive success and then on defense the
birds are going to have to do a few things as well Jalen Carter And Eagles Pass Rush CRUCIAL! starting with getting pressure on the quarterback
Jordan love as of course we all know that the Eagles always build their defense around the D
line so they're going to have to do their job and dominate this game however there are definitely
some question marks on the D line this year so it's going to be interesting to see who steps up
and perhaps the guy they're relying on the most is jayen Carter but he says that he's ready to go
out and perform even with all the pressure that he's under I feel good I feel like I'm looking
good you know it's going to show on the field I don't know just I got a lot on my shoulder and
I'm ready for uh ready to step up to the plate and show what I can do do you like that like the that
there might be some pressure on you oh yeah I like that I ain't got no problem with it this football
is my job there going to be pressure some weeks and then some weeks is not you know it's on and
off and stuff like that how do you deal with that stuff just be myself yeah there's just no doubt
in my mind that Carter is going to step up and be great this year and I'd say the bigger question
marks are guys like Bryce huff and Jordan Davis as they're being really heavily relied upon too
and they need to step up so we'll see what happens Eagles MUST Stop Packers Run Game And Josh Jacobs! but perhaps the more crucial thing on defense is
going to be stopping the Packers Run game and Josh Jacobs as last year part of the Eagles defensive
collapse was a result of them just completely losing their ability to stop the run and we also
all know that Josh Jacobs is a dynamic and Elite running back in this league so stopping him is
going to be key and it allow the Eagles defense to just really pin their ears back and then let the
pass rush take over now overall I feel good about Eagles vs Packers PREDICTION! this game I think it's going to be very exciting I
think it'll be a tough match up for both teams and it'll wind up being close but I personally have
the Eagles winning by a final score of 31 to 27 and starting the season 1 and0 but you guys can
