0:31.5	Here's the latest question and answer session with Greg.
0:34.2	Looking at the game from Sunday compared to the game against the Panthers,
0:38.3	what, did anything stick out to you or was very evident on why the passing game was so much
0:46.1	more successful? You know, I think there's probably multiple factors involved. Number one, it's funny, I talked about this
0:57.7	with Adam and Jeff last week, things that we likely see. Number one, a lot of no huddle,
1:04.0	which is something they have been doing. They've continued to do a lot of no huddle as a significant
1:09.4	part of their offense.
1:16.2	That really helps a quarterback because defenses sort of have to become pretty static.
1:23.7	So pretty much what you see before the snap of the ball is what you're going to get after the snap of the ball in most cases.
1:31.9	And the thing that really struck me, and this was very surprising, 31 of Hertz's 37 dropbacks in this game were straight dropbacks, which you rarely see the Eagles do. So when I say straight
1:39.4	dropbacks, I mean, there was no backfield action, no run action, nothing going on other than him taking the snap, even though he's still in the gun and dropping back.
1:48.6	And he was very good.
1:49.7	He was 21 for 28 for 260 yards on those plays.
1:55.2	I just wanted to get your thoughts on Nolan Smith and the progression of him.
1:59.2	Really impressive.
2:00.2	I thought he played really well in this game in all three phases,
2:03.2	rushing the quarterback, defending the run, past coverage.
2:06.6	I think his athletic and physical traits are starting to show more consistently.
