| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Inside the Tape on Inside the Birds. I'm Jeff Mosher with Adam |
| 0:13.2 | Kaplan. And of course, with Inside the Tape, we always bring in a man who breaks down more |
| 0:18.2 | NFL tape than anyone we know. And that is Greg Kosell and Greg. The Eagles are back in the win column. Everything is great. They're going back to the Super Bowl. Everybody's a Hall of Famer. You know the drill. The Eagles beat the Vikings in week seven. They snap a two game losing streak. They win 28, 22. And as always, you're going to take us through the tape breakdown |
| 0:38.1 | on offense and defense. And for this episode, this first part, we're going to start with |
| 0:43.4 | offense because what a breakout we saw from the Eagles passing game in the second half. |
| 0:49.1 | But before we really dive into the nitty gritty, just tell us some big picture bullet points that stood out from you. |
| 0:56.0 | Well, I think first of all, it's the number of plays under center. They had 19 snaps under |
| 1:00.6 | center, and I think there were only one or two tush pushes, so it wasn't a case where it was a function |
| 1:05.0 | of tush push. And in the previous six games, he'd been under center 48 snaps, and there |
| 1:10.5 | were multiple tush push plays, obviously, as we all know. |
| 1:13.6 | So I think that's something that really stood out is the way they put them under center. |
| 1:19.2 | And you would think that that's something they'll do going forward. |
| 1:22.8 | Because I just think it gives you so many more options. |
| 1:25.3 | And just so people understand who may be hearing us for the first time, you do not have to run the ball effectively for the play action past game to work under center. |
| 1:34.1 | Because I know that that's automatically said as if it's gospel. And it's been proven time and time again going back 100 years that that's not the case. |
| 1:42.9 | Yeah. And that was clearly not the case against liking, right? |
| 1:46.2 | Correct. That's why I wanted to make that point. |
| 1:49.6 | You know, I also thought that, and we can get into the detail of it, |
| 1:53.1 | but I really thought that the play that really changed the game was the Smith 79-yard |
| 1:58.1 | touchdown, which was on the first possession of the third quarter. |
| 2:01.9 | It was actually the second play of the third quarter. |
| 2:05.4 | And the way they set that up with what they did in the first half, I thought it was absolutely |
