Michael Irvin Talks Eagles vs Packers | Friday Night Football

just got home watched the game on the trip home and and and I just wanted to say something about this game I mean what a great first game that is for Philadelphia I mean you got everything you wanted in that first game I I I Philadelphia walks away after game one one thing they may be disappointed about just the one thing and that's probably yeah they'll talk about the turnovers you know he Jaylen H threw another two interceptions and they'll talk about the turnovers and all of that stuff and and the first two drives they turn the ball over but they fought back and it's let me tell you why it's so important that they fought back and I you got you let me give you the particulars you know Jaylen Hertz two 278 yards two TDS and two interceptions saquin Barkley is the story for the Philadelphia Eagles having saquan Barkley with Jaylen Herz and them two boys they got outside that's going to be a hell of a team to try to stop and what you saw tonight as they beat the Green Bay Packers who played very well I thought who played very hard what you saw is uh hope you saw the solidification the solidifying all the things that we've been saying coming up to this first game you see Philly has been talking about all that stuff that happened last year behind us now we're different team you know we we we know what we know what we went through we know what went wrong we fixed it then you come out and a game like that not the smoothest game you had setbacks and you overcame the setbacks within the game you see what that does is solidify exactly what you've been talking about all pre-season yeah we're a different team we're good we're ready now we're no no more of that mess last year that stuff is gone because this team fought back and forth with Green Bay Green Bay fought back and forth with them and in the end they stuck together and won that game that was an impressive impressive win for the Philadelphia Eagles and if I was passing out game balls I know everybody's going to hand it handy game ball excuse me the um to saquan Barkley but if I'm passing out game balls I'm going to hand the game ball to Kellen Moore Kell Moore was always he was one of those brain Childs you know when he was here he supposed to be the brilliant offensive coordinator but he went over there and did a good job in game number one a good job my thoughts with Green Bay Green Bay that that's a young good team man and they're finding other players Josh Jacobs oh my God he runs so hard he run so hard man he had 84 yards the dude was Reed now now you got Watson that that can fly and Reed putting up 138 yards on four receptions I mean you got some talent in Green Bay my head because it can't help but analyze and look at things as I'm watching the game I must admit though though I pick Philadelphia and New would win and wanted them to win when they when I see all the things that they came back from and fought through and stuck together and the most important thing when they needed a clock dry a clock killing Drive they put it together they put together a clock killing Drive where they ran that ball ran that ball and then still late in the game wasn't afraid to put it up in the air to go get a short yardage and a first down and put the game away this team will grow more and more confidence in the in in in the ability to win games any kind of way coming from a game like that so I was I was happy I was right but then I was worried about you know that is the NFC East death yeah and yeah you're going to have to see Philly and I said wow man Dallas I don't know I got to see what you look like after all of this offseason talking about nothing but money I need to see what you look like Sunday because Philly for a first game for a first game got everything they wanted and accomplished everything they needed except one thing nobody scared of your tush push anymore that tush push ain't the same without Jason Kelsey's tush back there to push it was not the same I don't know I even thought that when I was watching the Baltimore game the other night Thursday night Baltimore Kansas City and all of those those calls that they were getting about being up on the line of scrimmage office of linan being up on the line of scrimmage I promise you I thought I said to myself that's interesting that's the lead trying to not Outlaw the tush push but make sure that you can't line up in that kind of formation they're making all the line and get up on the line get up on the line remember now that thing that they had last year it was almost like a little spearhead and all so them Lin went all up on the line when you're up on the line now that Force gets gets a little different gets a little difference the laws of inertia gets a little different because now everybody is putting weight on weight instead of all of this weight in one area I'm just telling y'all just watch it now but but the way they look I don't know how much they need a tush push I don't know how many third and ones or fourth and ones they will have because they look spectacular with sequor Barkley and wait till they get to playing together a little bit longer and that running game will get H it will get a little bit more explosive so yeah right now Philly Philly Philly looks good they look good I can see the traj the trajectory of where they can go if they stay together and play together he might be getting a shot to get back to that Mountaintop that's just the truth and I got to say it from what I seen that slim Reaper Devonte Smith out there man him and AJ brown big play after big play every time they needed a play and and Jaylen hurz missed some throws he missed some throws but that team never lost faith that was a very very very impressive win my stomach turned a little bit let me tell you why cuz I saw it this way I said wow the last team Green Bay played was the Dallas Cowboys the next team they played was the Philadelphia Eagles H H that's ugly that's all I can say boy that's ugly that right there will make it a little bit rougher to get to sleep tonight
