thanks Co we have the real pack fi in the locker room off the bench coach and now here's your host Billy schwe good morning everybody and welcome into the locker room with Billy schweim my twin brother Bobby schweim producer Nikki eraw on the morning after of big eagles Victory what what are you doing Bob you like this yeah you know it's good to come in after the game usually we're on before the right right so this is a little different twist we'll talk about it perfect timing Nick with the uh Eagles Fly song it could come at a more appropriate time baby oh big Eagles win last night e a g l e s Eagles well I gotta tell you uh we got off to a slow start last night and we're gonna get into it we'll break it down and we got a you know we're gonna hear from Bobby we'll hear from Nick we'll hear from Scott Grayson from fox29 news we'll get the keys to the game with him of course we'll talk with Mr negad Delphi himself PJ cter but uh what a a good win you know this is the first in in essence the first preseason game they got the Russ these guy we Nick and I were talking about it you know pre prior to the show know these guys have been bubble wrapped you know I mean they they they they they come out so the first three games of the year got jayen her get hit in the chest with a with a snap he's not even pay I'm going to give him I'm a Mulan on that one because you know it's a new center they got to get they got a gel but but Bob if they but if maybe if they had a couple snaps in the preseason you know what kills kills me Jo Joe burrow he played preseason we M so you know what is Jaylen her special I mean I mean it's not jayen it's the Cod it's the Cod and there's another issue I have too we'll get to that we'll get to that they won Bobby they won we'll get we'll get to that I'm I'm taking over Mr neod doia no I well you're gonna take a page Nick I told you my brother's actually here's the difference between PJ and Bobby Bobby's is negative as it comes right but he's got an edge to him where PJ makes it funny right right Mr negative serious you're dead you're dead serious uh the reason why I invited my brother in today is because I want to expose him for the [ __ ] you know what he said yesterday the two days hold on but let me say to Nick no you don't understand I gotta get the whistle out he can't understand the concept what I was saying I'm G to just repeat what you said to me he he he said yesterday Nick and I say this with W probably won't get this he said last night's game was a must win see once again once again you left out what I really said stupid I said it doesn't matter statistically I said it's a must win because as bad as they last year okay coming out doing this question idiot was that a was that a was that a handsome win last night no it wasn't it was another so they won ugly again didn't they made the play dja vu all over again isn't it Bill you're such an idiot you don't represent what I said correctly you because you didn't say because you didn't say it Bob you did not say it here's the deal I said it it emotionally it's not statistically it's not a must okay because it's the beginning we all know that but this figure that out he bottom line to me it felt like a must after the horrible collapse they had last year it it was it felt like it was a must let me chime in let me chime in you felt like because of the way they went down yes they had to yes so in the beginning of the game they come out Nick you and I was last night we were all over right yeah and uh in was there Josh H was there there had you your wings we had the wi issue issue with the wings have an issue with wing the wings were good I got 50 wings wings were great ex goes there he doesn't bring back like the refrigerator he's got a Ferrari chees blese Nick I looked at you off like a horrible start so many all the flags the penalties uh thees the first half especially especially the first quarter the Eagles are lucky that they weren't down 14 maybe 17 nothing because remember had the ball four times inside the Red Zone in the first in the first quarter that was that was good you stop team from scoring seven in the Red Zone I get it shot Green Bay shot they there was a stand by the defense and that g you a little bit couple penalties they committed a couple penalties back here's thing that's what I tweeted last night on Twitter was a great preseason win last night it was because like they're not playing the preseason they're not getting the rep is our first time out on the field New Center like d Herz they didn't look right to start the game you're so obviously like Kansas City some time got worried about him getting hurt that's the whole thing guess what it is what it is that's why moms and who probably other quarterbacks around leag I didn't see it the pre-season got starters got you know you know and you're saying no guess what guess what not having issu not not the way it's the way the league is going but that but I agree with Bobby on this one I think some of that they had last night look he got hurt at the end of the game can't injuries are inevitable it's GNA happen whether you know one way or the other it's inevitable so I think that maybe Bobby has a point Nick that you know you can get off to bad start because you're not physically prepared yeah and that's what happened last night and we have to come to expect this because it happened last year too it's across the league that it feels like the the the talent level isn't as as close as it was before right like it wasn't at this high of a level as it was before because getting off such short because it's preseason first couple weeks Pras a glance you know you no statistically they had a great was that great had good he had some bonehead plays where he should have thrown the ball out of bands like you you wonder what you know this guy's been playing foot you those same statistics I mean if you were to just glance at this you would with with the exception of Jaylen herz's numbers you know you look at seeon Barkley had 24 carries 109 yards three touchdowns br Brown even Devonte Smith got her got he had 119 catches brown or 19 yards 119 yards AJ Brown I mean you know you look at it defensively exct did Nick did it look like like when we were watching that game did it look like other than the the touchdowns that Barkley scored did it look like he was running for 109 yards very pedestrian quiet 109 yard 109 yards I think I've seen but it was loud when you scor three touchdown I'll take it three his first touchdown the catch get his peed in bounds like that was a pretty an exceptional play for a running back you know and and I got to tell you man how do the Giants give up saquan Barkley I mean you I mean I obviously he commanded a price but how do they do that y could you imagine if he had an offensive line you know he's had six years in the league he he's only rush for 50 5200 yards could you imagine if he had an offensive line for the first couple years of his career now you and I wrote on 973 espn.com that they do every Friday that now Jaden they got a plethora of of of uh weapons on this offensive Arsenal that they have like Squan bar was everything they needed Bob now they ran the ball last night yeah they they had they had some you know listen as the preseason goes you know you you you know and they got to gel the chemistry we all know that I just I the thing that freaks me out is that you know the the slow start that we it feels like an ex extension of last year and that's what concerns me cuz I trust me the guys I was over Billy B tunes's house last night we had the a lot of the locals in there you know watching a game and coach kusac was there you know longtime player right right right he were Shake we were shaking our heads yeah a lot and and I don't like that you could tell by the reaction where you guys were where I was when people shake it like what is that like that does that shouldn't happen as much as it happened statistically looking at it you you the game looks better the game looks better on paper than it did right have to remember that field was horrible last night they were slipping and sliding all over the hum humidity yes because of the humidity listen we got a great show lined up at the B at the bottom of the first hour we're gonna go get the keys to the game with Fox

you you had a few chick cars in it yeah okay yeah like you had that Rice rocket that that thing you had was a chick car man it was I think was Fast N it was yeah that was a real feminine car that was fast that was fast all right uh but anyway yeah it's a too silver and uh I love it man it's got great pickup smart looking vehicle because you're dumb and you got a smart looking vehicle huy took care of me man I recommend you go up to Tom's River Volkswagen check out all the new cars in in stock 2024 man I'm styling Nicki eraw was following me down oh yeah I I saw him on the way down thepress I pulled right away from him I caught him I caught you listen um we got a text board question today 609 403 0973 what's your one big takeaway from last night's game 609 403 0973 what is your one big takeaway from last night's game um we're gonna start off with Nikki Earnshaw Nick what's your big takeaway so my big takeaway from last night's game was Zack Bond Zack B that's a good one good fantastic last night he was flying all over the field uh he was a former New Orleans state he comes in remember linebackers overall were okay but I thought Zack B 11 solo tackles total tackles I mean the guy yeah I mean he he was he ended the game last night but he was flying all over he was generating pressure I liked what Zack Bon did last night I thought that was a big takeaway because if you can get a really good season out of him that's a steal to have you know in a position where they're not uh really deep at 609 403 0973 what's your biggest takeaway from last night's win 609 403 0973 bond for you what what do you say well I I got a toss up here I U um uh you know I got a toss up between two but I have to go with the position that I played right because I think being a quarterback in the NFL is probably one of the hardest positions to play this quinon Mitchell I mean he he was like a lock down I mean I he he he's a little cocky too he's got yeah they come from Toledo that's what you need to do holy Toledo so this guy this guy he had uh five total tackles which I don't want him tackling anyway I want I want him you know shutting the lock down the court but and he made some nice plays on on a couple balls he had four four solo tackles he broke up some passes I mean so I I we need we need a cornerback so bad that we can rely on it's hopefully this guy's steady darus slay kind of drives me nuts from time to time you know but well he's getting older too's get it step that that's why he drives you a little nuts yeah I get it but so for me I'm going to have to go with that with him 609 403 0973 is the text board what is your biggest takeaway from last night's game I'm gonna say uh the whole defense Bob it's I'm I'm it's they gave up 29 Points they couldn't stop the run and and I know Bon had a great game but Jordan Davis where was he and and and where was Jordan where was Jaylen Carter you know what's funny I mean he's not even on a stat she he didn't even have a tackle last at one point I only saw those two in a in a in a down linan it l like there was two defensive Lin else was standing up yeah it was I don't know I don't know too much about playing defensive line because I never played that position but Bob a defensive tackle can't take a side right because then the offensive line you just push you right out of the way you just make the drive straight up the field well here's the thing when you put two guys that have in they're in a three-point or four-point stance two guys I mean I saw this quite a bit and you know these guys are getting double teamed you need I think I I don't know what you call that defense with would you have the rest of the guys all standing up I I don't know I don't know it was it was interesting last night so the one of the takeaways even though Zack Bon was great the Eagles were getting killed over the middle over the middle they were getting destroyed and that one play after NCO Dean where they where the Packers scored the big touchdown right it was three plays on that drive NCO Dean could had a pick six that he's got to come up with that go two play later they go Green Bay goes to the house look at this guys he had total tackles as a linebacker that's that's that's he was okay but he was okay he was okay he but he's got to be more effective man he's got to be you know he's got as long as you don't read blanket ship leading the team in tackles like they did last year that's really bad Hey listen when I lead the led the team in def I was safety right we we were what two and seven you can't have a safety making all attacks you can't do it hey he had he had an interception last night by the way by the way Nick I said to you last night at the uh at the house when we were watching the game yeah that um blanket ship he seems a little slow he's an intelligent player but he is he a little slow blanket ship yeah I I don't think so I mean he comes up with great plays Bob he's heady he's a heady guy I like him but just seems to me step listen he he was an undrafted player we gota remember he came out of nowhere so for for him to to have a big interception last night he's kind of stepped into that role they're they're a little weak in they were a little weak in the secondary last year they have much more young Talent they're a little quicker like that who's the fastest guy we got what's the guy that we got from Iowa the defense he's hurt right yeah no no he was was hurt he was was what was his injury you know hamstring hamstring injury B he was he's been back since like the third fourth week of practice okay I don't see his name on his St well he's I'm just wondering well but but all right but we but que Queen Yan Mitchell played really well establish yeah I mean this guy's got to be effective too we gota you know when you when you draft that that high right man you gotta get there's one player that's not really on that stat sheet that I'm very concerned about Bryce Huff Bryce Huff nonexistent in last night's game 609 403 0973 who who what's your one big takeaway from last night's game all right I got a takeway we got Danny EHT he's checking in looks like there is a major concern with the Eagles Edge Rush rusher Huff sweat old BG is not good rosan might have to make a trade at the deadline well Josh s one total tackle yeah he one solo tackle and that's it listen I said to you Nikki Nick I I've been saying it for the last three or four weeks leading up to the season the Eagles are gonna have to win games like they did last night high-scoring games out the they're were they're going to have to ball out on offense uh and and you know hope for the best on the defense they gave up they surrendered 29 Points I believe last year they were bottom bottom in the leg giving up points they were they gave up 29 25 three points a game last year can't do it can't do it we got a couple texts in LA from Gabe last night felt like the 2017 Super Bowl back and forth scoring and you didn't know until the end of the game whether the Eagles were going to win it makes for an exciting game yeah I mean List we were all glut to our seat yeah so that's a good good game I mean Billy you picked them to lose yeah I picked them to lose but you how WR you are you're a [ __ ] you said it was a must-win because guess what they and they won and they won reason why I picked them to lose is because the way they finished last year till they prove it to me that they that they can stop somebody I'm going to be I'm going to be I'm going to be like Mr negad Delphia himself PJ quarter well I'm telling you for me how are we so negative after a win we can't be that negative after because want a win pretty Nick I would to see it down that's not football listen Hey listen Devonte Smith was great thought phenomenal I'm encouraged there he had the over he had the over on his passing yard AJ Brown was phenomenal but you know I don't know for some reason what that first year that Jaylen Herz was on the team I mean the offense just seemed like it was clicking every he had that was 2022 when they went to the Super Bowl right but but but but the for me like he hasn't he he hasn't performed to that level it seems to me that that year was really good can tell you why he just doesn't look like the same player can I tell you why a big reason might be why Shane styken Shane Sten was his offensive coordinator and look what he's done what do you think about the job Kell Moore did last night I thought he was pretty good I I thought Kell Moore they ran the right we when I remember I went nuts when they they I thre the first bubble screen like the third play of the game like here we go again bubble screen I know it you were freaking out when that freaking out like what you're gonna tell me we got a new coordinator and he's G to Third play of the game it's a bubble screen what's wrong there's you can use a bubble screen every once in a while two the first game and was that the first quarter come on Deonte Smith got a first down off a bubble screen last night so it worked that was later that was later on in the game all right I do want to talk about jayen Herz real quick do we have time to play that clip yeah we do let's play that clip all right first of all very candid I like what he had to say and did you see the emotion on the sideline after the fumble with the with uh who was over there talking to right bada and uh no but but address that he was talking to Dickerson yeah J Jurgens and him were talking during the game you know because Bill that was a concern you had last year he jerk uh Herz would go off to the sideline and he would sit there would talk to me the the offensive lineman went up to him while he was sitting down so last night he went up to Jurgens he went up Andress couple couple times on the sideline on the sideline they the he was sitting there well the point is he was more animated last night I get but that's the point but but guess what he's sitting there the lineman came over to like what are you talking about he was Nick we you and saw it I pointed out to you right he was standing he walked right over to him they were arguing almost he overall overall I'm g i do I need to blow the whistle again yeah ID think he knows everything do know everything overall he was more animated last night whether it was the offensive line go off to him he had more energy than he did last year he was he was interacting he was doing he was doing what a quarterback is supposed to do interact with the players quarterback gets up and puts his arm around a guy and he the the linan had to come over to him other than that that one Bill you're talking about one time that's I I I talked after the fumble Bob and kusac both saw we both know kusac know he's from haddenfield all right on the other side we're gonna get the keys to the game with uh with uh Scott Grayson from fox29 news uh and we'll

Nick uh Nick just fly in have we see the alternate in case the ref lost his voice last night in that shirt well the the reason why Scott the reason why he's wearing the referees Jersey is you can't see my brother because he doesn't have his laptop but my identical twin brother bobb's in here it's getting heated what's up how you guys how you doing Bobby so you don't need to see his face you see mine it's a same thing I'm better I'm better looking at EI either either way I'm fighting the urge to vomit right all right Scott our our our text board question we're gonna start you off with the with the question of the day our text board question of the day is what is your biggest take we'll get into the minutia with your breakdown but what is your what was your biggest takeaway from last night's game my biggest takeaway is just that uh listen man you're always going to have rust in today's week one of the NFL the penalties the bad tackling which I think was also partly due to the poor footing um but it was still there the mistakes the miscues the uh you know the blown coverage assignments at times uh the turnovers I mean frankly look if if Jaylen hurz doesn't want to turn the ball over he's got to play some preseason snaps and I don't want to hear about the I I don't want to continue to hear about the um The Joint practices because you know what he knows he's not going to get hit in a joint practice it's a lot different when you've got that pass rush coming at you and they're going to be able to try to take your head off I I I just but you know what here's the thing my one takeaway if you want me to grow from it uh from from there Billy is by the end of the game it looked a lot better and um okay I think I think if you want to go from you know from week one to week two you're usually going to see your largest amount of growth there so the fact you escaped Brazil with the win and that's how I'd say it you escaped with the win um to me that's the one big takeaway you're one and0 it and you've got a lot of room to improve we're talking with Scott Grayson from fox29 news Sports Anchor Scott sequan Barkley man 24 carries I know you always get your keys in the game before the game and I know you always say run the ball don't turn the ball over but uh he they got him they got him at a price and he did his job I mean he was it didn't look like he was theet quiet 109 yards but in the end it was 24 carries for 109 yards three touch so right he was a beast and here's the thing that that I was pleasantly surprised at I just haven't seen them commit to a running back in terms of feeding him and getting him the volume right saquon Barkley's a guy who needs the volume he'll give you the three yards the one yard the five yards then he'll give you the 34 Yer he'll be a force out of the back field and catch a pass for a touchdown uh that that was saquon bar right there frankly after like I think the second touchdown I turned to my son and I was like uh yeah text any friends you have that are Giants fans just just make sure they're doing okay right now that's what we said it was it was it was fun to watch and and I think you know the fun thing to me was okay if you're going to feed him the ball 24 times where how are you keeping the other guys happy but there was still the volume they R in 74 plays yesterday so Devonte Smith had his seven catches AJ Brown had his 100 plus yards um you Devon Dallas Goddard had his touches so I thought overall Kell Moore did a good job the one he's not out there throwing the ball you know jaylen's got to make better better choices and I think that'll come um and cam Jurgens and Jaylen have to get on the same page with some of their uh you know the snaps as well all that's going to come what I saw out of that offense was was positive and and saquon Barkley of course led the way and now you look at the Falcons who saw that and they've got to find a way to stop saquin which should open things up for other guys Scott one one take away I had last night was Zack Bon was all over the field was phenomenal he was fantastic last night um what did you notice out of his production and his performance last night just what you said I he was it seemed like he was either making the tackle or he was in the screen you saw him I love the way the guy flew around to the ball I thought he and niobe Dean worked overall pretty well together um and I took positives away from both those guys but Bond was the one that was making the big plays and look listen you know I know it was the backup quarter back in at the time but we've all seen crazy stuff happen in football right I don't need that ball getting thrown in the air uh at the end of the game and that sack to me was just was just it was it was big it was a perfect end to his night uh I think there's a lot of positives to take away from Zack Bond's game um you know and and and look he showed no rusts with tackling uh and that's what you worry about in some of this was missed tackles in that week one game I like the way the guy played uh I I thought you know where Green Bay had success running the ball did you notice it was along the outside it was when they got to the outside up the middle I thought you know Dean I thought Bon I thought Jaylen card and Jordan Davis did a really good job of keeping those Lanes up the middle from really being there too much well that's what I was gonna ask you Scott your your uh take on Davis Carter and Davis yeah I didn't think they I didn't think they Davis didn't even show up on the statute he didn't have a tackle I was just a little talked about it we were kind of concern like I said you know what it looked to me Scott like he like Jordan Davis was taken aside and the offensive lineman was moving him out I I've never played defensive line but it seems to me that you want to keep you want to keep in your lane right you have to you know I would caution you on going too far into the stat sheet on Jordan Davis and Jaylen Carter right because look at what Fletcher Cox did he never NE I wouldn't say never he rarely lit up the stat sheet because a lot of times what he was doing was drawing the attention to allow other guys to make plays and if Jordan Davis and Jaylen Carter are drawing attention right it allows Dean and bond to come up and make those tackles on run plays up the middle I don't think you're going to see a lot of stat sheet games from Jordan Davis uh Jaylen Carter you'll see some he did have a sack last night which was great but what I need those guys to do is occupy space Jaylen Carter is a beast and what you saw Green Bay doing was trying to get in his head early he got the pen they got the penalty on him which he's got to be smarter about and that's got to be maturity they did open a couple big gaping holes though in that office we could drove a truck through it there were some there were some big big holes like most of the time though those were on the outside and that's not on Carter and Davis that's on guys on the edge out there where maybe Bon and Dean and I haven't seen any film yet maybe they they cut too far to the inside and that's blown on them that could be the case um but they can't you know Green Bay did a good job at one point of recognizing we're not running the ball up the middle we've got to go outside in one whole Drive they did that and got a touchdown uh I think the Eagles did make some adjustments in the end on that but there is certainly again there's room to grow in all this and I'm not saying Jordan Davis I thought played a great game I don't think I put him in my Grace's greats but um you know I believe that what I need is him and Jaylen Carter to together allow space to be occupied those running Lanes not to be there and guys to come up and be able to make plays and if they're doing that um eventually good things will happen for them but I don't expect either one of them to really be big stat sheet you know blow up the stat sheet guys because again that's not what Fletcher Cox was here and look how how how much we loved him yeah Scott I I wanted to ask you a guy who kind of felt like he had a quiet night you really didn't see him like you saw Zack B was Bryce Huff it seemed like he was a had a quiet night like I what what are we expecting out of him maybe heading into next week because he really wasn't all over the field yeah and if you if you parse the words of Vic fangio throughout training camp I think what you heard was they're trying to get him comfortable I I'm I'm paraphrasing and I just don't think he's comfortable yet in the role that he's being asked to fill uh that was week one of 17 games um the guys got time to get there I'm not saying like let's all be patient and wait for that because you know you're expected to do those things uh I thought I saw more Nolan Smith than I expected to see out there and I don't know if part of that is because of Huff um but they've got to get to you know and Josh sweat you didn't see a lot of making plays these are guys that that um I think just look some guys grasp stuff right away they get it they get the role they're there and they're going to make plays Zack B being one of them I think other guys like Nolan not necessarily Nolan Smith as much because he was out there but Bryce Huff Josh sweat and to an extent Nolan Smith these are guys who have to get more comfortable in what they're being asked to do and get you know the understanding of of what big fangio wants them to do so much of the NFL is speed of the game right and you hear guys when they're getting it oh it's slowing down now I think everything's still a little fast for some of these guys in fangio's defense to really you know and I'm not I don't want to make excuses for him because that's not I don't want this to come off like that I'm saying I'm in a table where I feel those guys are to week two and see if there's any growth there for them as well every uh every Saturday and Sunday during the football season uh we talk with we get the keys of the game with Scott Grayson from Fox 29 News Scott 29 Points though I mean I know it's the game it's the first game and Green Bay's got a high-powered offense obviously with Jordan love as their quarterback but 29 Points Nick fangio can't be happy with you know I mean I know they made plays when they needed to but 29 Points is way too much it is but if you think back to our conversation we had off air after we talked last Sunday I told you I thought it was going to be a high-scoring game I was not surprised where I was surprised though was when the offense did so badly in the first two drives and turned it over the defense H him to feeli goals both times to me that was huge in that moment in the game to not let it get away from you because the offense couldn't find itself um so if you break the game down I thought there were plenty of Great Moments for this defense but there was also like they let Reed get way too wide open on in many instances and get too far out uh where he was able to use his speed to then break it to the end zone again not making excuses for these guys but the footing looked to be an issue for both teams uh in some of those areas where maybe you close on the guy but once he made a cut it was gone um it it it needs to be fixed you can't give up those back breaking plays like that because um you know if this is a Bend but don't break defense they they give up yardage but hold field goals more often not right if that's what it becomes that's enough I you know I've said all on I feel this way especially even more so after last night if this defense can hold opponents to 20 points or less right even 203 points or less you're probably going to win just about every game and so they gave up 29 it is too much I need that number down around 20 for me to feel a little better and I'm not asking you to be a great defense to give up 20 points per game I'm just saying don't give up those chunk play right hey Scott all right one last one last thought that I have for you leading up when the Eagles were 10 and one leading up to those remember they were winning real ugly yeah I had a feeling about that last did that last night did did that game last night have that feeling I don't well I I can tell you Scott Billy and I had an argument I I yes before going into the game yesterday I said not statistically because it's the first game of the season but I said it's almost like it feels like it's a must-win as bad as as bad as a did at the end of the year last year for me it was almost like a must-win I I felt that way too uh just because look you know that that game could very well side Scott thank you Scott thank you Scott appreciate that I gotta get the whistle out Scott I have a hard time saying a week one game is a must win that game had that game has you know tiebreaking potential to it when you look way down the road at playoffs and so for that reason NFC potentially tying with the Packers uh for seeding you have reasons to to look at that game say this needs to be a win and look the the Packers had a long I don't even know if they've landed yet I don't think the Eagles have they have a long flight home after playing that game where the Packers have to feel like they gave it away here's the one thing I will say Billy to your question about um feeling like last year look with saquon Barkley you have a closer you have a guy who comes in in the ninth inning and is GNA get the job done they took seven minutes off the clock and almost ran it all the way out which they failed to do last time last year at times when they needed to close out games they had this was a tight game they needed to get a touchdown in my opinion the field goal made it so the Packers had to get in the end zone but you left them no timeouts and 27 seconds to do it that was missing last year so you know where I will say it's not like last year where I didn't feel like it was last year was as they kept moving the chains in that last Drive I was going hey okay this is what good teams will do to win games and as bad as it was for the first half yeah you know they they got the job done at the end and did what they had to do to get the W that was missing at times from last year's team so I will say that this while it felt at times like last year in the end I walked away going that's different and and that was nice to see all right Scott it's always nice to see you and we really appreciate getting the keys to the game as we we will all throughout the football season and we'll talk to you next week thank you so much Scott and uh big Eagles win man yeah no problem Nick holding all right there he is 29 News sports Acer Scott

them to win and lose but you would asked everybody here that you know do we have a prediction I I never I didn't make a prediction I just said it was a must-win for me right you know and obviously statistically it wasn't but Grayson obviously took my side this idiot C idiot you're you're the idiot because agrees with you B doesn't mean you're right well you know does Nicki iraw you didn't even make a prediction on the Gill show the sports B Mike Gil predicted what 3123 yeah 3123 was a score he predicted I I felt like they were going to win I just need I was kind of Wai and see because it's

worried 69 403 0973 what's your biggest takeaway from last night's game I thought niobe Dean played pretty well Dro that if if by the way if he intercepts that ball it's a cakewalk in he strolls in and and but the Packers they came back three plays later we already established that they scored again that could have been a that could have been a big Turning Point Nick that could have been a huge turning point in the game n ncoe Dean just has to catch that he just has to catch that I mean there's no other way to put it I mean I was feeling a little I feel a lot better now after the the discussion that we've had right because I when coming in initially I wasn't like you know I'm coming off the ledge a little bit here you know what I mean all right well we're about to get Negative

refrigerator right well we didn't even ask Meo you think he would have said we got blue cheese upstairs right BJ we want no Pine on what you saw last night our our text board question is 609 403 0973 what was your big takeaway from last night's game I mean I'll give him a little leniency on the field okay because I think it was in bad condition and there was no reason for us to be in Brazil playing but um I I gotta say I don't think jayen looked good I think he looked like a deer in the headlights I don't feel like he gave me the confidence that I wanted in my quarterback and he made some plays that were Beyond suspect I mean he you know when the game was on the line and there was importance to us getting you know he's running across the field he's looking one way he's pointing the other he throws the ball cross shoulder and ends up throwing it right to the Green Bay Packers Mak all nervous then everybody's worried about the game again like it was like he he had the game in his hands and he totally was like fumbling around with it it just had I had flashbacks from the Super Bowl Mr nead Delphia I got to talk about the beginning of the game how are you feeling after those first two turnovers in the start of the game in the first quarter I mean listen it's it's it's exactly how a preseason game would start off that's right was like you know why didn't we get all these Kinks out why didn't we do this I mean you guys mentioned earlier in the show momes played yeah um Joe burrow played Burrows you know I a lot of these guys are out there we had a lot of changes in our line our offensive line it would have it would have made a lot of sense to give as much play time as he could we're talking with Mr neod Delphia at PJ Corda sponsored by Galloway Pool Service uh Mr neod Delphia we were all sitting around at miro's house last night we had you know all the big TV screens going we're all sitting at the bar and you were you were like with when Dean dropped the ball you were like you gotta catch that ball yeah well him and I'll be honest with you the guy that I I was harping on last night was Maddox I mean ion Maddox essentially escorted all the receivers down the I I didn't see him make one decent play and then I don't understand why we drafted Cooper I know he got his hamstring injury whatever you guys said but like even with his leg not being great it would have been nice to see him jump out there and do something more than Maddox did I mean madx was just watching Everybody well quinan Mitchell had a pretty good game and he's he's he was the number one draft trick Joyce so I mean you can't be negative on that one no no we had some guys that played well listen listen not every one of played terrible I mean we got the win it was H it was it was exactly how the winds were last year at this time which we weren't happy about last year you know want I want to win pretty I don't want to win ugly you know what I mean yeah we want to win with authority you know I me I gota look at Authority I gotta look at my brother that's ugly you know I don't want to win ugly now Mr nead Delphia what what is there anything positive that you took from that game last night I mean listen saquin looked good I you give him a line and saqu shows up baby you know I mean he was there 24 carries 109 yards three touchdowns one receiving yeah yeah no he was there but I mean even like to say like for our receivers who I feel like I just I don't feel like Jaylen gives us that confidence where you know he sees the play steps up in the pocket he makes it I mean he made some good plays but it's it's not confident the way you see from these other Championship quarterbacks I agree on that I agree on that wholeheartedly there uh you Herz he I I we we played a clip earlier today but he he was he he answered a question with with cander and I thought he was I thought he was uh more vocal than he than like in other words when he's interviewed PJ you know he's always like say spewing the company Lineo stoic uh you know Hees yeah Bland he doesn't really say much I thought last night's interview we played it earlier today I thought he you know and you saw him getting an argument or an animated conversation with Jurgens last night after that fumble yeah no I mean like I I think he's passionate about it I think he wants the drive I mean he has the drive to like push everything and work on it I don't think it has anything to do with his commitment or willing to do it it's just you know whether you got it or not and I don't know if he's got it or not you know I mean I he they won the game PJ but his quarterback rating was 80.3 that's fine it was a bad what do you mean that's fine it's not fine they won they won that's not fine don't say it's fine won won did they win because of Jaylen is that why they won they won because of Squan bar not because of the look they won because of Barkley and the time of possession they they absolutely they troll that there was one passing touchdown I'm just saying too saquon Barkley one of his touchdowns was a pass from jayen her and it was a good throw Nick that was he has moments of greatness but it's not consistent there's not a lot of confidence I mean how how often did you see like Tom Brady have like an under can't compare him PJ just said he doesn't look like Tom come on no but what I'm saying is PJ you said how how he doesn't seem like a star NFL quarterback like there some of the elite and that's what he said I get it you know yeah and it's true though I mean it's it's obvious to me I mean if you watch the games there's just not he doesn't have that confidence he having certain quarterbacks I just don't have it with exact I gotta be honest with I agree with you I agree with Mr nead Delia I mean he you know he doesn't look like he's polished and all be it's the first game all say it's a preseason game but what are they working on in practice B he's been playing football his whole life so he played with Alabama he played with OK come on man he's also had different coordinators every single year of his career the mistakes he made doesn't help D his dad's a football coach though for just saying he he's had to do different had have different offensive schemes every single year PJ Mr nead Delphia what I don't understand is and I know it's timing but the center he snaps the ball he wasn't even ready for the ball the chest look stupid and then they also messed up the tush push now I know they almost bubled it again yeah see Guan Barkley had to recover it yeah he had to recover that one so I mean I'm saying they're getting a little sloppy there they got to work on that they gota you know I mean that that Center to transition's got to go a little better you can see the the

broadcasting live in the times River Auto Group studio in Northfield Billy Schwan Bobby schan Mickey ear Shaw well you down a blitz's market I went in there to get that breakfast sandwich the other day right but da J great yeah so I went in there I got the orange juice cor the sandwich it was good put the uh a pepper jack Bobby goes in there tells them what he wants anyway going in they always have a sandwich in the day right I walked in there and and they got a picture of the Billy G which is our buddy Billy godre and he so he has his own sandwich you see this thing bill it's a it's a ribey sand it's not a cheese steak it's like a riye sandwich in the roll with Cooper Cheese and caramelized onions you should I mean it looked great but I was already had a breakfast so I was going to eat you know what I mean right right right the Billy G man it was awesome you got to have it a 609 403 0973 is the text board our question is what was your big takeaway from last night's game now I do want to talk a little Philly baseball because figh the fightings they won by they won by two touchdowns last night let's say you know you can't get crazy because Nick and I talked about it it was a triple A pitchers yeah it's a Miami Mar Miami there's a Min Le so I'm not getting too crazy but Kyle schwaber is tied for the major league confidence is everything you know when you hit the ball I got it I wrote 973 espn.com that they playing the Marlins they should probably give Bryce Harper some time off right now yeah and get him right but he's he doesn't want to be taken out of lineup he's played in 404 of 45 games since the allstar break B also went to the I B's on the yeah so you got to get these guys help Ranger looked good the other night I thought he good he's had a couple he struggled you know of recent last out he went five in he looked good listen the uh Kyle schwarber is just on fire I like the last last games he's like hit like 330 has been doing okay has been you know what you know what I I I can't help but you know listen on paper the Philly should be winning the World Series and you know I hate when you look at this onp paper analogy and then when it comes to the game like casianos was nowhere to be found at the in the last they all the bats went silent so I mean we know that that that that's a a possibility you know I call Nikki Nicki schwaber because he's been tooting Schwab's horn for the last two years about greatest F lead off hit her at a baseball I mean he he's living up to it well he's living up to it he got 13 lead off home runs for the record and if he gets one more he so he's got 20 20 games to hit one lead off home run he'll he'll what the last couple games they they had to come from not last night but they they had to come from behind series that I mean seriously to to come from behind the way they did I mean you you got love that you know what they're also doing not only they just getting power now they're they're also manufacturing some runs too they they've had yeah doubles they've had a couple you know and Nick but Nicki's been saying from day one and you said it on the sports bash with Mike Gill because he's been ripping you yeah you know he's really ripping you Nick that's fine what's he saying but he thinks you're going to the World Series I think they're gonna win the World Series well they on paper they should well me so that's not a stretch for him to say no but but but everyone else has been so negative because they went through that they went it was a really bad stretch I understand that but they still stayed at the top of the standings during that stretch though more than anything it's been our pitching that's gotten us to where we are exactly so so the bats are one thing but you got in the playoffs it's not uncommon to win one nothing 2-1 it's a playoff baseball game you're seeing betting obviously you're gonna see better pitchers in the playoffs right yeah so I mean so if we can manufacture or even hit a couple home two to one should win you a ball game in the playoffs what can't happen is what's happened the past two years they can't all go cold at the same time that's just I can't I've never seen anything like it everyone schwar Turner Harper B they all go cold the same last night's game the last night's game you know that was great and everything to see the number but I just wrote that off I mean that that I mean yeah but you got but you know what Dave kemi says dick ver said it keep losing teams losing that's what they did they don't like before years before the Marlin stunk and they still gave us a pain they were still a pain in our butt they they would always find a way to beat us right right right got last night two touchdowns they they play better they play better than Eagles two two-o conversions too cuz they had 16 uh Zack Wheeler got got his 14 that's great play at four o'clock today who's on the hill for the Phils today today for the Phillies on the hill it is Ain Nola go for his 13th win right yeah it'll be his 13th win if he gets the W today um I would you try to sit brace Harper today I I think I'd try to sit har yeah right that they're eight games up on the Mets and the Braves yeah Cody Clem's killing the ball too right now he came back up and he's been he's been lights out since he's been back with the team right so they have two more against the Marlins uh today and tomorrow and then they have the Rays for three games when they come back got the Mets coming up Mr met Mr Met we're gonna get get in touch with him so because uh he's not watching no he he doesn't even he can't even name he can't even Nam three starting guys on a Mets team well he's a Mets fan so what are we we we're eight up right now eight on we're eight up and and and fellas don't forget we're the best team in the national league right now so we will have home field advantage as stands right the national league they're the best team in baseball they the best record in baseball right now they're one game up on the Dodgers and Baltimore is three and a half games behind here some Harry Callas tomorrow we'll go on the mound with former Phillies pitcher Tommy green brought to you by blitz's market Tommy will give us his perspective on the Phillies now he's been talking me down off the ledge Bob you know me I'm like I I live and die with if if there was that stretch where they lost what four or five series I mean I was still like you said staying positive the Dog Days summer Billy baseball listen when it gets hot every and you're out there every day how hot it is and whatnot I mean was it 162 games it's a long long so you know you were hoping that they came out of it they seem that they have after the All-Star break they what they lost the last the first two series that I'm like holy smokes to remember the Dodgers the Yankees all these top teams in baseball were all going through it during the summer they were all having tough stretches through like this 40 game stretch they were like an the Phillies played the Guardians they went in they went in the tank Yankees Dodgers all the Braves they were all struggling around the same time the Phillies were so it was like all the teams that were at the top of the standings they were struggling just as bad by the way you know prior to the last series with the Braves the Phillies were three and six against the Braves and they wred the ship now they're six they finished six and seven so they made it respectable you know because the Braves despite the fact that they lost six of their starters including Spencer Strider and they were still they were still taking it to us I'm like with this team that if that if that wasn't enough for ER right there Nick three out of four listen they took the Phillies did their job they took three of four from the Braves to kind of seal this division all right let me ask you this first Nick are you happy with Robbie Thompson the way he's been managing this team copper yeah how could you not be that's like you know well because I think I like first of all Nick casos hasn't had one day off the whole year had chice Harper he he asked for that Nick castios asked for that in the beginning of the year he did not want to miss game to job it's it's Topper's job to manage his team and if it means to sit his guys down I understand that like Bryce Harper Bob he's he's playing with a bad elbow bad wrist and then he get plugged on the other elbow but this is why did you did you hit the microphone I didn't do anything you were going crazy on you're that springo bil's brain rattling around that's what I thought it was with all the nonsense that he SP holy C oh listen Thompson I listen there's sometimes I'm just like I don't know about that move I question it sometimes the analytics I get it sometimes he goes too far into the analytics I it's fine but overall that's why that's some of the reason they respond to him they love Rob Thompson he listens to his players and he's that even kill type guy let's talk about the coach that the player He commands the players respect did you agree I 100% agree what about serani that's my only con dude I mean I have problem I lost respect for serani and not the change the subject I know we're talking about the Phillies we're talking about managing and coing okay but anyway when when when he came off the field against the the Kansas City Chiefs and had to get into the mixup with the with the fans you're the you're a coach in the NFL you're you're gonna mix it up with some peon fand what the he I lost I kind of lost a lot of respect but he made a mistake he'll straighten it out think it was just a mistake I called a character I called a character flaw I let his emotion get mistake it's a character flaw you're bra yeah all right character flaw my man not that's not you can't as a mistake but he he got maybe caught up in the moment well I just unprofessional very unprofessional very unprofessional listen on the other side you know we do the beach Patrol report okay and uh we had a great Avalon won the South Jersey lifu guard Championship but John Tom mccan John mcan's

Jerry and uh when I told him he lived harder than me that's beautiful it's a real show I love it I love it uh Tom you you and your brother you you guys are synonymous with the with Beach patrolling and you've been around for a while and you've written a you've you have you this is your second book that's come out it's called the guards and I'm looking at a picture of it there's a really nice look to it uh but uh tell us what this book's about Tom it uh what it is I I wrote a book before and I did it in Seattle City and that's when I lifeguarded there for a long time and loved every minute of it uh after I um started working on other Beach patrols it was probably one of the best things that ever happened to me because I got to be on five different Beach patrols uh every year I take the test and go to another Patrol oh I found out there was a lot of commonalities with all the patrols uh so I start digging some research and I did history on Brigantine all the way to Kate May point which was five Beach patrols and um I realized and researched on how great of a job all South Jersey beach patrols do annually and I saw firsthand uh rescues and preventative things that kept beaches safe keep people safe on the beach and I was impressed with it I said I got to tell people about this this this s Jersey group of guards are phenomenal and and and all you got to do is look at the record we go through Labor Day you always breathe better after Labor Day and because you had a safe summer across the board safe summer and all those Beach patrols it's really really remarkable how great the guards are in South Jersey and of course Tom they provided service I mean saving lives is is their main goal we we cover the races and of course we've had you on our broadcast our live broadcast when we we we we broadcast from the marget memorials or the South Jersey lifeguard championships right and we we we always comment on the athlete and the Athletics of the athleticism of these of these there's a lot to go into goes into but it's so much more and you're shed light what the guards do it's it's it's a life it's a day in day out job of saving lives yes and the the races are a great way to demonstrate to the public how efficient and how effective guards are the patrols are well prepared all you got to do is watch the races and in my book I have 17 different races registered where who won and and how many times they won and there's some outstanding performances by a lot of the guards year in and year out being superstars in these competitions but these competitions you want you wanna you want a real healthy well-trained skilled person saving you if you're in trouble you don't want to be out in the water and you were lifeguard yourself yeah you don't want to be out in the water and the person is out of gas when they get to you hey matter of fact uh Bobby and I remember we were riding on we were riding our bikes with the boardwalk and there was uh in Ocean City and there were uh people that were out on the jetty yeah and we looked we looked in and there of course there was a few guards in the water the yeah last week and we're just riding by on a a regular morning and then there was a major rescue well there was like four or five people that went all the way out to the end of the jetted you know how slippery it is out there they slipped and and and they were out there even a guy getting back up on a rock he stood up and boom he went right back down and that hurts that's my gosh yeah it's very dangerous and years ago I've done a lot of research on this years ago before uh we called them lifes Savers because we didn't have whistles at the time God people used to go out to the end of the peers and jump off and break their neck yeah oh jeez they dive off and see people didn't pay attention to high tide and low tide they don't know high tide get it away with it but low tide you break your neck a lot of that went on now Tom you uh you Incorporated a lot of pictures in this book which is good because uh pictures are good but it paints it it does paint a picture of what what this looks like yes uh well over 150 pictures in this book and it covers all 15 Beach patrols and what I did with each City I pulled out some of the interesting fun facts about the beach Patrol that beach Patrol and it just shows you the depth that we have in training and in preventing problems on South Jersey beaches now Tom how do you how do you get this book how do you get a copy of the guards because it looks like a great read something you put on your coffee table yes uh well I've been hearing this from people that bought the book it's a great coffee table book because it's it's like an encyclopedia on South Jersey lifeguard basically it tells you everything about the city uh list of all the captains all the athletes the winners of the races uh like in the around the island Row for example it's a very big race so I pulled out the top five winners in that race the Upper Township row I pulled out the top three winners because it was such dep the South jerseys it's the sole winner the margat the soul winner but what you do is you you you after you REO through this and you see some of the personal stories that are attached to this uh it makes it it makes it more colorful and you get an understanding of the character and I try to get the reader to understand the essence of what we're all about and how do Tom how do you get a how do we get a copy Tom how do we get a copy you gotta do what you got to do is you go on the um for the website the guards gu a r DS the guards at um the guard's book okay.com it is it gonna be is it gonna be in stores Tom not right now it's all social media right now that's and that's how we've been

you why Bob you have to have longevity with a team consistency you have to numbers to go with stats and then you have to uh maybe play the same team for a long I'm not disagreeing with you there I am
