Intro okay so the Eagles just got their first win of the
season in a thriller versus the Packers in Brazil and squin Barkley took over as he had a phenomenal
performance in his Eagles debut and he proved that he truly does take the Eagles offense to the next
level meanwhile Jaylen Herz had a few big mistakes with some turnovers but he was also able to
respond in a big way and Nick serani made it clear that he's not at all worried about Jaylen moving
forward also several guys had big performances for the birds in the opener including a few promising
defensive players and perhaps the biggest star of them all was Zack Bon as it seems like the eagles
may have surprisingly found a Hidden Gem in the new starting linebacker so let's talk about that
and everything else from the week one win starting right now what's up guys welcome to the Philly fan
21 Channel if you're new I'm Evan and I cover all Eagles Brazil Game Was a SUCCESS! (Besides The Field) things Philadelphia Eagles and man I don't think
we could have got a more exciting game to open the season for the birds I mean it had a little
bit of everything including explosive plays and big performances not to mention that it came down
to the wire now heading into the game there were some big story lines to pay attention to with
one of them obviously being that this was the NFL's first ever Brazil game and I'd say it was
probably an overall success I mean I like Nick serani thought the atmosphere in Brazil was
great despite there're being probably a lot more Packers fans than Eagles and also I will
say this the field was absolutely terrible cuz guys were slipping and sliding everywhere from the
second the game started but if they can get that fixed I think it'd be great to have more games
in Brazil although I can't say I would want to see the Eagles back there anytime soon but moving
on another big storyline heading into the game was Quinyon Mitchell SHINED In Debut! the situation at cornerback as the birds presume
starting outside corner Isaiah Rogers was ruled out of the game with a hand injury on Thursday so
the rookie quinan Mitchell Saw what was probably a slightly adjusted role from what he would have had
if Rogers was out there as he started and played pretty much exclusively on the outside and on the
first drive of the game Mitchell had a great play as on a third and six Packers quarterback Jordan
love threw the ball deep into the end zone of Christian Watson but Mitchell had blanket coverage
and it fell incomplete and he also talked a little Trash after the play while forcing a Packers punt
so it was certainly a fast start for Mitchell who honestly was really impressive given that the
guy is's a rookie but he certainly didn't look like it for most of the game game and he finished
off with a nice stat line getting the third most tackles on the team with five and also having
two pass breakups so overall it was certainly a great start for the rookie and it's definitely
going to be exciting to watch him throughout his rookie season and also to see what kind of role
he has moving forward whether he stays on the outside or he goes back inside at times now after
that Packers punt it was our first chance to get Jalen Hurts And Eagles Offense AWFUL START! Defense BAILS Them Out! a look at this new look high-powered Eagles
offense but things didn't start out very well as after a couple rough plays the Eagles found
themselves in a third and long from their own five yard line but instead of being safe and then
just punting the ball jayen Herz decided to try to throw deep to Devonte Smith down the seam but it
was just not a good decision as the coverage was good and the safety Xavier mckin read it all the
way and got the interception setting the Packers up in great field position luckily the Eagles
defense stood strong and along with some help of a Packers holding penalty they got to stop
in the red zone and force Green Bay to a field goal and the very same thing happened again as the
Eagles had some more miscues on their next drive with Cam Jurgen snapping the ball to jayen Herz
when he wasn't even ready leading to a fumble and another Packers takeaway so safe to say that that
the Herz and Jurgens connection is still a little bit of a work in progress to start the year which
we kind of thought it would be but as I was saying the defense buil the offense out again despite
the Packers starting at the Eagles 14 yd line as the birds forced the Packers to another field
goal after they made a few nice plays and then Jordan love missed Christian Watson in the back
of the end zone so on one hand it was about as bad a start to a season as the offense could have
had while for the defense it was kind of the exact opposite as they were great to start out and after
the game Nick serani talked about the offensive Nick Sirianni PRAISES Eagles Defense For Start! (TOUGH AND PHYSICAL) slow start while he also praised the defense for
keeping the birds in the ball game games don't always start the way you want them to like that
they get paid too and they're and they're good and that's a good football man that's a good football
team um but I really thought um the slow start you know slow start was offensively defensive played
their ass off to start that game um to play as bad as we did offensively and to be down six nothing
to start the game is is pretty is pretty awesome um and hats off to the defense and we have some
thing wrong we got things to clean up on both sides of the football but that could have got that
could we could have got down two scores right away but the defense really did a good job of playing
good red zone defense Nick is absolutely right as that game could have gotten out of hand quick with
the way the offense started that game and with the Packers getting unbelievable field position off
those turnovers but the defense did a phenomenal job Standing Tall and keeping the Packers out
of the end zone so that was definitely promising from the defense and I think something that was
pretty evident early on is that this defense has an element of toughness to it I mean it just looks
so different from last year with how the guys were flying to the ball and laying big hits and looking
more proactive than reactive and this of course was on display throughout the game and we're going
to continue to talk about it as this video goes on but I did just want to take a moment to point out
that at least so far through one game the defense looks a lot more tough and physical than it was
last season so that's definitely a great sign and Jalen Hurts BOUNCES BACK With UNREAL TD Throw To Saquon Barkley! it was also great to see how the Eagles offense
responded on the very next drive as Jaylen Herz saquin Barkley and the guys found their Rhythm
and they went on a nice 11-play 5-minute drive that ended in those previously mentioned guys
connecting for a touchdown as jayen Herz threw an absolute dime over two Defenders to saquon Barkley
on a wheel route for the touchdown on a really well-designed play from Kell Moore and Not only
was this Barkley's first touchdown as an eagle but this score also made saquon the first player ever
to score TTI in Brazil so that was pretty cool and this was also just an amazing play and an amazing
catch for a running back to make but Devonte Smith says they expect that out of him it was great
man you know we we we expect that out of him um it was amazing again it was just so awesome to see
Barkley get in the end zone for the first time at an eagle and it was also so cool to see the
Eagles offense just bounce back from those Jalen Hurts SPEAKS On Rebounding After Slow Start! early turnovers which is something that Jen Herz
talked about after the game just keep the maintain the main thing keep pressing on um I think how
we responded as a team we all experienced some adversity but we we all uh dug deep dug deep
and kept pressing forward you know it's it's all things that you can control and we continue to
find our Rhythm as a football team but it's always um always good to be able to figure that out with
the with the win wi and so good to start the start the season off uh in the win column I think it
definitely tells you something about this team just the way that they responded to adversity with
the defense picking up the offense early and then how the offense eventually got things on track
and took the lead earlier in the second quarter Eagles And Packers Went BACK AND FORTH! (Saquon 2nd TD) unfortunately though the Packers offense got on
track right after this as they had a response of their own in the form of a Jaden Reed 33 yard
touchdown run on an end round where he flew through the Eagles defense to retake the lead for
the Packers fortunately though the Packers went for two after an eagles penalty on the extra point
and Milton Williams flew into the backfield along with ncoe Dean to stuff Josh Jacobs and keep him
out and then after this the Eagles offense went to work as they put together a nice drive in which
AJ Brown caught a pass in front of J Alexander and then made a miss and converted to Third and eight
and then Devonte Smith had a big 25 yard gain on a great throw from Jaylen Herz down the sideline
what I think was a really really nice play design from Kell Moore to create some open space and then
a couple plays later saquon Barkley took a handoff straight up the middle and ran it in for an 11
yard score for his second touchdown the day and giving the Eagles the lead right back and then
on the Packers next possession it looked like the Eagles defense was about to get them off the
field very quickly in fact they almost scored some points themselves with ncoe Dean nearly getting
a pick six as he had a great read on a throw into the flat which was one of multiple great plays
Dean made during this game but just a couple plays CJ Gardner-Johnson Lets Up EXPLOSIVE TD! later on a third and 10 Jordan love was flushed
out of the pocket but he stepped up and threw an absolute strike to Jaden Reed who was wide open
and then he made safety CJ Gunner Johnson Miss and ran it in for a long 70 yard touchdown and the
breakdown after this play shows that CJ was just kind of late getting over there and was in the
wrong spot causing Reed to be as open as he was and then he of course missed the tackle leading
to the touchdown to give the Packers the 19 to 14 lead now I say this hoping CJ doesn't come after
me for the criticism which he did for some fans on IG live on the team playing after the game you
know how hard it is to make a tackle at the 100 m power now every fan that want to say something I
want y'all to come to practice I'm have AJ Brown do exactly what bro did and how y'all had come
down here F say I suck but if I suck Jeffrey L and hyro would have fire me at Mid half cour you you
saw the game I love my Philip man now first off I want to make it clear that I know I could not make
that tackle just for the record and personally I honestly think CJ played a pretty good game and
was flying around to the ball and making some good tackles and I love the energy I saw from him
out there but he did make a couple big mistakes on this one play which led to an explosive play for
the Packers offense so he certainly has to learn from it but that being said this play was pretty
uncharacteristic for CJ in all honesty and I'm not worried about him at all moving forward now after
this the Eagles got the ball and were able to go AJ Brown COOKS Jaire Alexander For HUGE TD! out and get a field goal to end the first half
pulling the score to 19 to 17 and then on top of that they also got the ball to start the second
half and they didn't waste much time putting more points on the board but before we get to that I
want to ask that if you are enjoying this video then please subscribe to this Channel and turn on
notifications so you don't miss any more Eagles coverage just like this coming throughout this
entire season I do consistent uploads almost daily on this channel and trust me you guys are not
going to want to miss it so again subscribe and turn on notifications and now with that being said
let's get back into the video but as I was saying the birds didn't waste much time at all putting
up points in the second half as on just the second play of the third quarter jayen Herz dropped back
and dropped a dime to AJ Brown over the shoulder who had beat Jer Alexander on a double move and
AJ vended the rest as he took it 67 yards for the score giving the Eagles an explosive play of their
own and giving them back the lead with a score of 24 to9 and overall it was just a great throw from
jayen and an amazing play for A J who had a really good game numbers wise as he finished with over
a 100 yards but the annoying thing is that the Packers RESPOND AGAIN! Packers just had to respond again as despite a
near turnover on a fumble from Josh Jacobs where Darius Slay did a great job punching the ball
out the Packers W on another great drive that was capped off with a Jordan love touchdown pass
to Christian Watson who would beat Devonte Maddox over the middle so just like that Green Bay had
the lead back at 26 to 24 and unfortunately the Eagles didn't respond on the next drive as Herz
was sacked and they had to punt but they got the Nakobe Dean BALLED OUT! ball right back after a huge noobe Dean h broke up
a Packers pass on third down which by the way huge shout out to toobe Dean who in my opinion played
really well in this game aside from a couple plays in pass coverage and I can definitely see why he
in that starting job and I think he deserves to keep it moving forward now unfortunately the
birds went three and out again so the Packers Reed Blankenship PICK Turns Into Saquon Barkley HAT TRICK! got the ball back but this is where the Eagles
defense created an opportunity for the offense as the third-year safety Reed blankin chip who I
think isn't talked about enough jumped the Jordan love pass to Luke Musgrave and got an interception
and set the birds up in great field position and they capitalized as saquon Barkley plowed into
the End Zone from the 2 yd line just a few plays later to give the Eagles back the 31 to 26 lead
after the extra point and it was also Barkley's thirdd touchdown of the day giving him a hattick
in his Eagles debut and making him just the second eagle ever to have three touchdowns in his debut
with the other being Terell Owens so overall just what a day it was for seon Barkley and I think
now that we've seen it it's fair to say that the Saquon Barkley Makes The Eagles Offense UNSTOPPABLE! Eagles adding Barkley to this offense is super
unfair for the rest of the league cuz he's just so so Unstoppable and he opens things up even more
for the Eagles offense and Devonte Smith actually said that same thing after the game um he opens
up a lot um you know he gets a lot of teams out of the two High stuff um cuz you have to come down
in the box and kind of have to account for him so um it helps a lot but um it helps even more when
the passing game and Run game is is working real well it's honestly just crazy how much scarier
Barkley makes this Eagles offense I mean think about it they already feature so many dangerous
weapons to begin with and sm's right Barkley does open things up for them even more and just when he
gets the ball in his hands he's a threat to make a big play and even without the ball in his hands
he's dangerous as we saw on that first touchdown when he was able to run a great route and catch
the ball for the score so again after watching this I think it's safe to say that Barkley has
proved that he can take this Eagles offense to the next level and I'm just so so excited to
continue watching him throughout the rest of this season now after the Barkley touchdown the
defense got the ball right back to the offense Jalen Hurts RESPONDS To 2nd Pick With CLUTCH DRIVE! With a Little Help From Miss Packers field goal
and the Eagles had a chance to really pull ahead in this game and it looked like they were going
to as they got all the way down into the Red Zone but on the third and 13 jayen hars made his second
really really poor decision of the game as he ran to his right before throwing back across his body
into the end zone to AJ Brown and Jer Alexander stepped right in front of it and picked him off
so it certainly isn't the best thing in the world for Herz to start out the season with two picks
and this one was especially costly as it cost the Eagles points and despite the Eagles having
another clutch stop in the Red Zone with Mora Jomo pressuring love and forcing an inaccurate pass the
Packers still got points on this drive in the form of a field goal closing their deficit to just
two points at 31 to 29 but this is where Jaylen Herz and the offense responded again as qb1 shook
off the Bad play and started to lead what I would say was the bird's best Drive of the game as they
got the ball with 725 left in the game and this is where the Eagles really wanted to milk some
time off the clock while moving the football and that is exactly what they did as whether it was
Herz making big plays with his legs and fighting through contact for the first down or it was
jayen making big throws to Devonte Smith to pick up first downs it's safe to say that qb1 was doing
it all and coming up clutch on this last drive and with a nice first down throw to Smitty over the
middle Herz and the Eagles offense had a chance to pretty much salt the game away and put it away
completely and while they couldn't quite get it in for the touchdown and they instead had to settle
for a field goal which brought the lead to 34 to 29 this was still a clutch drive from Herz and
a great response to that interception and after Sirianni SPEAKS On Hurts RESPONSE To Turnovers! the game Nick serani talked about this final drive
and he praised Jaylen Herz for how he was able to respond to the turnovers we couldn't have played
a worse first quarter than we did um offensively defensively did a great job of stepping up but we
couldn't have played a worse first quarter than we did and then we came back down the field he hit
he hit saquin with a with an unbelievable throw um and so there you know he's going to want some
plays back obviously um but I thought you know Jaylen started as far as the the dog mentality of
playing through um and handling the adversity um again it wasn't perfect it wasn't perfect on any
by any means we can help him out with some play calls here and there as well um but I thought he
responded good like that 4-minute drive um that we had we that that that drive started with what
eight eight some minutes left to go in the game and we gave him the ball back with 27 seconds why
because Jaylen and Devonte connected on some huge plays that's tough football four-minute football
is tough football and our guys really responded and to give them back and they were positioned
to throw hell Mary at the end of the game but our guys really really responded that four-minute
football when things haven't been going great um man I I thought he did some really good things and
some CL uh part of me Clutch moments um yeah so I I thought you know there's there going to be plays
he wants back but there but he had some really good moments as well I think Nick has the exact
right analysis in that while Jaylen Shirley has some plays that he's going to want to have back
overall he played a really really good football game and that last strive to respond just the way
he did after the turnover and even earlier in the game the way he responded to the turnovers in the
first quarter it was all just incredible now does Jen have to clean up the turnovers yes because I
thought those two picks were really really both poor decisions and there were some other thrill
that could have actually been picks as well but the rest of the game in my opinion he looked
like one of the clear-cut best quarterbacks in the world and I trust he'll get those mistakes
cleaned up as the season goes on as this was just the first game after all now the Packers offense
got the ball back with just 22 seconds left to Jordan Love Unfortunate Injury go and they had a big first play to get some good
yards but unfortunately for them Jordan love got rolled up on by Jaylen Carter and was in a lot
of pain so he had to exit for the last two plays so prayers up for Jordan love I'm really hoping
that he winds up being okay but getting to the end Zack Baun ENDS GAME With Sack To Cap Off DOMINANT DAY! of the game it was Malik Willis who came in for
the final two plays and on the last wouldbe Hail Mary attempt Eagles linebacker Zack Bon ended the
Packers chances and the game by getting a sack on Willis and this sack was really the cherry on
top for Bon who had just an unreal game as he easily led the team in tackles with 15 and he also
had two sacks and was just all over the field the entire game I mean this guy showed up and proved
why he earned the starting linebacker job because I'll admit I've been asking all offseason why Vic
Fel likes Zack Bond so much but now I see why as the guy bowled out in this game and he brought
an element of toughness and physic that you just love to see and look I know it's early but it
seems like Bond could potentially wind up being a Hidden Gem found by The Eagles this offseason and
obviously again it's early and we're going to have to wait to see how he performs the rest of the
season to make a final determination on that but it was certainly a very promising start from the
linebacker and yeah Bon second sack ended the game Eagles vs Packers FINAL THOUGHTS! with the Eagles winning by a score of 34 to 29
which was very close to my final prediction which was 31 to 27 and it brought the Eagles to one and0
on the season and overall I just really like what I saw sure there were some things to clean up but
in my opinion the team feels different from last season I think the offense looked great and the
mistakes they made are more than correctable and then on defense they looked much more physical
and stout than they did at any point last year to me so I'm just so fired up about this team but
