Hello again, everyone.

0:10.6

Welcome to Inside the Tape with Greg Kaplan.

0:13.3

And Greg, the Eagles, as we know, they had the big loss to the Niners.

0:17.2

But defensively, Greg, this is what surprised me.

0:20.0

I expected them to dominate. And they did anything but dominate, though they had their moments, Greg. Let's go over an overview. What did you think of their defense versus? Well, I thought they played the run game very well. And, you know, obviously McCaffrey did not have a big day. And I guess he had a 10-yard run late and other than that he really did

0:38.7

not have much at all and I thought they played it really well and again I was really blown away

0:44.1

by how good Jordan Davis looked. I mean he had a tremendous season. I mean it's the movement

0:50.0

ability. I mean he he made plays with lateral movement. I'm sure you saw it as well. He made plays

0:56.0

1:26.2

because he missed so much time.

1:28.0

So I think there's some uncertainty as to what he ultimately is as a pass rusher.

1:33.8

But overall against the Niners, you know, it's so funny when people talk about teams, you know, like with the Eagles.

1:40.3

And obviously we did the offense and we spoke about it when people say things like, well, they do the same thing.

1:45.4

Well, the Niners do the same thing too.

1:47.3

You know, everybody does kind of the same thing.

1:50.0

It's, you know, they do what they do.

1:53.2

You know, and I'm talking about throwing the ball in the middle of the field, which the Niners do.
