After last night Chicago massacre here is our friend Angelou Katalbi. He joins us now. Wow Then I know you just trashed the seriani as coach of staff and now you want me to try to defend him I know what you're doing here His one blind defender Oh angel you're take away his last night on what you saw wow Let's start with seriani because he set the tone That insane tirate he threw on the sideline after the grounding call that he didn't agree with It's set to me it with it's set the whole tone first of all Acron they showed it again. He went no the call was right And he's over there making an ass out of himself as usual and you're going What I keep doing this then I keep going What remind me again? What does he bring to the table right now? And well, I guess at least
strategically Since he's memorized the analytics breakdown he'll know what to do no Third quarter three minutes and change to go what then what I was My when they tried to get the beers to jump offside and the beers didn't jump and he sent the front team out Now it's six and a half yards, but he sends a put I was incredulous. I went He never does that. He's is he coaching scared Against the beers with a stat 38-year-old statue with a rag arm case canum You're nervous about what's going on of the gap. What the hell was wrong with you Three minutes later this 30 seconds 20 seven seconds left in the third quarter What then five almost the same position of the field let's go for it And he didn't even know how to do that right it was I was
The whole coaching staff Fianjia who That's the no better He knows case cater. I'm sure he's coached against them a hundred times. They're both been around for 20 years He didn't know what to do with case cater. You said it all right. We took away the run. They're not gonna be able to run Stop case cater How about man's a thought I'll better encourage the nobody on the Eagles defense. How about a sack? How about somebody sacking a guy who can't mold a guy who's already eligible for the a a rp I And you're not you're not even getting near him. You're not getting a sniff Of him are you serious and turnovers? There they lost three to nothing and turnovers. That defense Is not turning the ball at all and I can any turnovers They're not getting anything
I'm looking at all that guard. Well, what about offensive well I'll give you this hurts was hurts had some bad moments But hurts drove them 95 yards down the field And and then that crazy thing happens that he gets knocked out for concussion protocol And at no point sitting there with three timeouts and knowing how desperate he is to get hurts back in Because hurts is great inside the two Hurt is the master of the touch push. He didn't call time out doesn't buy any time doesn't buy a second And leaves Dalton out there and frankly manion dialed up a stupid play Let me throw it over the middle of the end zone. Nobody will be there to pick it off any any they just give away A 95 yard drive then they got nothing out of it and you go just they had just gotten away with the big speak
Fumble they had all it It was Honestly, the one thing Caryonis said it was true. He said everybody was responsible for the loss Yeah, everybody it was awful. Here's awful performance. Here's here's Angelo where what you're talking about that that Dalton time So hurts is like you said there was timeouts right hurts is in the blue tent right That's is actually watching because you know why he's waiting for the call to be able to go back in Yes Right there think about it. So you thought as a coaching staff The best guy to have the ball in his hand is Andy Dalton not sick one Berkeley And you know that too and you know points are a premium That you just go you could have kicked the field goal came back around and guess what hurts took that last second Drought the ball in you to been up 1310 heading in the halftime my problem was is that Nick I mean in game. Do you know where you are in the game?
No, you know what you're doing He has no situational awareness They keep telling me how great his record is and I keep watching these games and going It can't it's insane the guy is not it doesn't know what he's doing and you said it before then Johnson It's not it's a complete mismatch You could say that Johnson and his staff had come up with incredible blueprint on how to go after the Eagles on both sides of the ball I didn't see it from the Eagles on either side. I didn't see it anywhere. I just It's like they took a week off and had a chest tournament Inside the Eagles locker room instead of getting ready for a game. I don't know what to think It was Dan I said before you said eight nine and I'm not ready to go there yet, but I'll say this Three games into the season the Eagles have proven nothing About them being a valid, you know
Contender angel though. They feel oh in three to me. Yeah, they didn't they they barely beat two awful teams And then they got crushed by a team playing its third string quarterback And that situation last night and he hadn't started a game angel over 100 when it was thousand and nine games Or days a thousand at nine days he hasn't started It's incredible football game and he's incredible for 242 yards in that game Angela do you think that you think that um Vic van geodefense is overrated? It it looked at last night Yeah, it looks here's the it got a couple of things going on here that you got to keep an eye on Two boys in the middle that the strength of your defense of why You know Davis and Carter right They got paid I think I seriously pay Is the motivation for those two still there. I don't know I I'm not seeing a lot of it right now
Jalen Carter is a flash player. He doesn't play hard every play And Jordan Davis is a first and second down angel. They'll think of this They gave Jordan day was twenty seven million dollars and they take him off the field on the money down on third down Ha No, it's amazing. It's amazing. I guess I I can't get luck They know why they spent the money. I'm not sure. I know I honestly because I'm my first and both of those guys have been dubious in terms of their commitment on a day-to-day basis When you pay those guys with they paid those guys 60 combined You're given them a reason to not be motivated. They already got paid. They're set for life Do they really want to put it all out there every game? I'm not sure. I don't see it. It's been a sobering first three games and even though A variety of fortunate twists and turns the two and one
I don't know what you know the Rams are not going to have Miles Garrett next week They're probably not going to have on the cua and they're still probably going to beat him It's like every week a big opponent comes to town and the stars are not playing They couldn't be lock you. He goes good. They lost Dallas got it. That's all they lost They could lose three in a row Yeah, that's what I'm looking at and I'm going when that happens and it could very well have because they got to jack on the other side who are playing well Yeah, the jack the jacks look really good this year Trevor Lauren. So it's great. All right They are two and three and I know what this city is Get out the button because we're going to be hitting the panic button. I know that look. There's one thing I know panic It'll be a panic time in this city when they're two and three if they're two and three and now I would be surprised if they weren't two and three What do you make a shamanian so far as the offensive coordinator of the eagles
That's a tough one. I'm really trying I'm watching the dolphins. I don't know. Do you know are you familiar with their passing game coordinator? Yeah Kevin Patula And they have never looked like a bigger pile of steaming Poop then they look like in these first three games offensive. I there a train right and you go wow That's the Patula magic. He did a lot here Manian is not a chance in the world. He could be that bad. All right, not a chance in the world But there's a couple of things going on here that above that that Dalton play call They had tried Barclay at the previous couple plays. It did a work So he it wasn't like he wasn't trying to you know mean on Barclay in that spot But there's just no scenario where you're going to throw the ball in the middle of the field With Dalton who looked terrible in the preseason his better-round forever looks like he's done
Uh, and you've got to put you're going to give them a great chance at a turn over there And this other one my chilemmet It's almost like how he's sending memos down to Manian saying Go me chilemmet lemon chilemmet. He's like he's my guy. He's my first round pick They keep throwing the ball behind the line of scrimmage waiting for him to turn on the jets He doesn't have any jets It's not that fast. He combines smallness with slowness then It's no damn way Those ways are gonna work. It is true. He is not fast and he is not big He cannot break a tackle Why you put him in a position where he's going to get crushed There's no way he's getting away in those spots how many times have they already tried it seven or eight times Has it worked that I've seen I had a bubble screen the bubble screen The only things that a worker with lemon is quick hits over the middle quick get five six yards go down
That's it and that's pretty much. Holy is gonna be good for because he's not fast enough. It's a terrible death pick Tell him I don't need to see another thing Lemon is not going to be a major contributor to the Eagles because he doesn't have the NFL talent Worst and jaylen rager No No, I just did the only reason the Eagles Tray I actually drafted jaylen rager was because they had a family connection Way that the of the the coach. Yeah, he was uh it was there was a connection and that's why they brought a bit And he was a train wreck from day one He saw and then he kept sucking and wasn't even that good at kicking pass for uh punk return There wasn't anything that he did well Well, guess what that's a lamin It's not different But I mean rager was beyond disasters. I want to I want to read you what
The greatness of macaid lemon and that whole offensive group didn't the second half So they come out they get the ball three plays five yards three plays minus two yards three plays four yards Five plays 20 yards pick Then the fourth quarter they got the ball once six plays 20 yards That was the second half angel though they didn't get a first down in the second half They didn't get a first down in the second. No, no, no, I missed that holy jeez Well that is 50 yards 50 yards they had and total offense like that's a red flag The reason why that's a red flag you saw what happened at the half in the auto locker room the beers They made great adjustments. Yeah, they did a tremendous. They saw what they would do it. They adjusted to it What a man you know You went backwards. I don't understand You didn't figure out anything from what you're watching the first half
What do you need a week to get ready to play a game Apparently not that eight days and they weren't ready to play that game last night No way man. I mean Just an indictment on their whole Start of the season and to Nick man That's I mean, do you think they make the playoffs All right, here's the thing that things are things are constantly breaking their way with seriani um I thought the bear game was gonna break this way with Caleb Williams being out Jayden Daniels the command is nothing without him they have to have him back I don't know how long you're out with a dislocated elbow Um Daud is out for the season and now they're going to JJ McCarthy apparently the giant um the giants I thought had a chance to you know make some waves this year they didn't and the cowboys to me I The moment of greatest joy for me in my very
stayed retirement life It's it's when the cowboys Find the game with seven seconds to go against the Ravens And here was the strategy Take it any end zone kick him the ball at the 35 I Don't cover a guy 25 yards down a field Time out oh one second to go 56 shot field go with seven seconds They won the game And Say palo brazil yes, I gotta tell you Dan you could ask my wife for the kids that are right around here You wanted to see chute jump up from his recliner and start yelling like it here It was when the ball went through the upright and and I just had one prayer that did not come true
Tell me Jerry Jones We showed Jones earlier they showed Jones during a good moment for the cowboys I just want to see is surgically repaired face As it drops down below his can Do you seek adventure and want to serve your country?

I loved that moment. Oh Jerry Jones's face should be on a cover of every edema bottle That's ever sold on the in the history of a of a pharmacy because it's always so painful looking
Every time I see he looks so painful when he's Well, that's because he hasn't wanted 30 In years Now Angela wait a second here It's one one It's braves in fillies right now. Yeah, no watch it that yeah. Are you feeling How you feeling about this fillies team right now? Yeah, are you feeling that Maybe there's a little bit something here that we're gonna see something No, why not no they could win 20 to nothing today And I wouldn't feel that because to me they showed their true colors on Saturday They're they're taking on water. They're in a collapse mode They're blowing a big lead against the mediocre opponent the Arizona diamond back set Diobaxe to try to sweep the pod race to somehow get in the back door And the fillies who have monitored pitch counts
With a religious zeal. It's like that they're devout Mormons, you know, I'm saying that they're so Oh 100 pictures get them out get them out. He could die You know they got very good to the penultimate game of the entire season I got an idea Let's use aronola on two days rest I Two days rest Understand they don't ever go Less than four usually they go five now only if you're in a seven game series in the world series Right, oh, and one other thing even though he was pitching well the last few weeks Hey, still socks his earned rubber jabs run average is still five He stood as a let's get him in there to save the season and he gets his ass handed to him in the first inning And they got to take him out and you realize wow this analytic stuff
They're totally committed to it Until it gets desperate And then What do we do now? Oh Ah Let's hit the bully opposite field. I'll never expect that no, I'm gonna tell you right now that team and it's complete adherence to analytics And last you know, there's a desperate situation that will ruin them. I guarantee you that we're ruined them It will ruin them today. It will ruin them tomorrow And if they get past these are those two days that'll ruin them the next step They are destined to fail because they don't play the game right they strike out Too much way too much they play like an emergency going down Bandicoat by the next time I talk to you they will already have the funeral services and they would already get gotten rid of Maddingley Maddingley about the broski Dumbrasky will survive again
Because from what I understand he has pictures of somebody in the organization it with a goat. I can't confirm it Oh my god here angelope. I don't know if you saw this. I got one last one here for you Yeah, if you see that wonderful press conference with a bra Sarah Hernandez fights for working families as a teacher Sarah Hernandez helped students go to college and when I Sattacked her community Sarah Hernandez provided free legal help to immigrant families Sarah Hernandez will fight for more housing solutions to homelessness and a more affordable California Both Sarah Hernandez for senate I've paid for by Gro California.

I don't know but listen. I I'm new to Philly here. So I've got to tell you I couldn't I couldn't I couldn't look at him because I'm watching him with that microphone and the way and I'm like That guy so anti-filly. It's almost impossible not to say that Yeah, there's no way that guy is going to be in breach now. Maybe you see it different. No, he is not No, no, listen The only guy to say I did not hear what he had to say Because his voice was drowned out by the helicopter up on the top of the building Warming it up to fly him back to his home in New York City damn damn
You understand if you say to the people of Philadelphia I don't really want to be around you. I don't really I'll come in for the games, but don't press me on this Be is not a faster way to alienate the people of Philadelphia than to tell them that you'd rather live in New York City It's not possible Dude you kind of told them you would rather live in Pasey, New Jersey and they might get all but when you said New York I'm like so what you're gonna be in a land at a helicopter pad somewhere and you're gonna go to practice and fly back to midtown Right on man. I'm gonna tell you what that says to me That in a lot of ways LeBron James no one has the balls To tell LeBron James anything but he wants to hear he's got a very good agent and uh, what's a guy named Paul? Yeah, and and uh that guy Should have been saying to him. I'm saying LeBron if you're gonna sign with the sixers you have to live in Philly
Right rich Paul rich and yeah, and if you um And if you don't it's not gonna work. It's gonna work out badly That's what a good agent would do you can't say that to LeBron. He's LeBron It tends well in Philly with no no First of all, I'll make a guarantee to you now You know that second year the contract he signed when he signed it to you deal that'll never happen He's this one and done as you will ever see in the city of Philadelphia And this thing Wait till he starts co-existing with joe lmb. Oh my god and b no one's told him be anything Other than what he wanted to hear for 12 years here No one's had the balls to stand up to him ever And now with LeBron there guess who's second place It's him. He's going to hear no now. He's going to find out that the The other guys getting more of the amenities than he's getting
disaster fun to watch great for sports talk Not good for the sick the sixers outward look as long as Josh Harris is there They ain't winning anywhere. Josh Harris is cut. It's got three sports teams 33 different seasons He has had as the owner of sports teams. He didn't even get a sniff Anywhere he's he's a loser the only thing he wins is money Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of money at least Dan Cronkey has won an NFL title Yeah, I'm the title and NHL title a premier title and ML less title right all the teams he owns He's got a championship. This guy on the line. Josh Harris has nothing just Harris won the hedge fund title All of this he had He wanted new arena title. Yeah, he's got other people paying for that. You think he's paying for that? No, Harris doesn't pay for anything. Yeah, I don't think you get to be that rich
Yeah, he gets somebody else to pay No, it's out there is going to be a dumpster fire no question a dumpster fire I want to ask one last one if that team does go eight nine. Will they fire Nick? No, I don't think so. I you know no Because people like Tri-Akeman do testimonials out of during games. So 66 That's a lot of money. You know what I'm going to do Dan I'm going to shock you right now For the first time on your show I'm going to say something positive about Nick Cereani Because I saw something that threw that blew my mind last night, all right The most the biggest waste of time at sports broadcasting the interviews with coaches after the first half on the sideline netcraft there, right? And I don't even remember which one of the it wasn't Laura Rottlidge the other sideline reporter for ESPI had the
Off door of interviewing there And he asked two questions And I know one of them was about Hertz being in the tent All right, the two questions were both really good But here's the shocker The answers were really good The answers were they were so well thought out That aceman After they threw back up to the booth aceman said Those were some very thoughtful words and they were And I mean we go Is it possible that Cereani Is not the blithering moron that we see at every news conference When he is in complete control totally controlled by the PR people Because I'm telling you Dan go look at that you look you never get that much out of a coach
So in a real moment he might be a real really really Enlightening And interesting and you said to yourself based solely on that That guy under pressure This mind works great of course then he blew the game But what I'm trying what I'm trying to say is That I now am actually raising a question That the reason Cereani is so awful In interviews on all that all the time Is because he's prepped but people have no idea How to handle the Philadelphia sports market So Bob Lang makes Nick look dumb Well hello That's a reach Well, wait in a bit. Hey wait me, Dan. It's all I just had an epiphany sorry But no it made me wonder that went And why don't you just if if you're capable of entry questions in that kind of an eloquent and thoughtful way
Under the rest and a middle of a game You probably can do better with those news conferences that you do it So why do you come off every time as a robot with nothing to say Repeating the same junk over and over again. Well, you're being I know you are because he used to come on my show. You're being pre I don't think he should be prepped maybe he's not as dumb as he seems And that is my tribute to Nick Cereani Maybe he is smarter because he knows that's how he keeps his job Well, you know look I didn't think he was capable of giving those answers And I will I'm gonna watch it again because I couldn't believe it. I actually kind of went back and I'm gonna have to go back and watch you gotta look at that because You it does not sound like Dan you would think With Dick Vermeel came on a retirement. That's how I dick we talked. It was a very good talker or no, this was Way beyond what he normally does and you go wow he's even being respectful and he's not going by a script
And he's giving straight answers and they're good answers and they're enlightening and you go It's possible see this this this will come back and bite me. I know it will Then you bump then he punted on fourth and one So he must the relapse right after that interview Boy, his football team his football team imploded last night Angelo make sure you guys check out angelo catholdie.com Thank you so much Angie on coming on the program every single time you can by the way I have a favorite ask will you come on the program? On Monday Next Monday next Monday after the Rams game What do I get out of it? Hmm I'll have to come up with something I'll have to come up with something let's see all right. I like a two-week schedule, but let's see what happens
All right, let's see what happens. Let's see what happens. It's probably going to be something happened that requires my My input here. Okay, so let's see what happens if something crazy happens. Let's see what happens Right, let's see what I have a feeling It's going to be ugly at the link if things go the way they did last night in in Chicago. It's gonna be ugly I think that thing could look ugly next week there at the link absolutely Angelo, I'll talk to you soon. Thank you so much my friend. Yeah, Daddy. Take care. Bye.
