Oh, I feel real now. It feels real now. Our first football Friday of the season. Welcome on in. It's the midday show. Hugh Douglas, today was really, you guys, we lost 215, 592, 94.94. Kyle Quinn behind the glass. We got a lot to get to today. The Eagles, the commanders week one. It starts in a couple days. Good morning, Hugh Douglas. Good morning, Joe. Good morning, Philadelphia. Good morning, Kyle. How's everybody doing today? I noticed a heavy day for a lot of people, man. And we're not going to make light of this situation, but we're going to try to have as much fun as we possibly can. Well, of course, Hugh. It is that it's the day, I mean, the heavy day on all of our hearts. We'll talk about our memories of it and our feelings on all of it as we go throughout the show. Hugh, and you're right. And we do have, it's the fun part of this that we get to have a distraction from what this day is. Because this day, it hovers over all of us. It will our whole lives. Yeah, but we'll never forget that. I'll never forget why we're always when everything happened that day. It was crazy. You all will. It's in our minds and in our hearts every time on this day,

especially on an anniversary like this 25 years ago. And Hugh, we do have a football game to talk about on Sunday. We do a football team to talk about. We do have a football Friday. And yeah, Hugh Douglas, I got to tell you, look, week one every year is a big deal. Week one every single year has an extra meaning. And week one every single year, you feel like the game matters a little bit more. Just because it's the first one, right? You want to get off to a good start. But I think for this Eagles team, in this particular year, week one has extra importance to the point where I will say, this is a must win game for the Philadelphia Eagles. This is not just, hey, let's get off to a good start. It'd be nice to get off to a good start. No, if the Eagles are going to be the team that we want them to be, that a lot of people think they are going to be, even though there's a lot of transition here. We're in a new coordinate or no AJ. If that's going to happen, if all the predictions I've heard this summer of 11, 12, 13 wins are going to happen, the only way they occur is if this game is a win for the Eagles. So if the Eagles are going to be the team, they're expected to be. Then this is a must win game. They cannot drop this game. I don't care what it looks like,

but they have to win the game. This is a must win game. Look at the schedule coming up. They will be favored big next week at Tennessee. Great. After that, they go to Chicago in a Monday night. They're going to be an underdog in that game. The Rams come here and I know what I was going to say. Joe, you said, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, the Rams will be fine. Yeah, like a good one. The Rams will get to it. We'll talk about last time. The Rams will be fine. And guess what? They're probably still going to be a favorite here in week four. That's going to be a very challenging football game. If the Eagles are going to go off to the start, we want them to it. It has to include a win against the commanders. This is a must win. I don't care. It's week one. The next time they play the commanders, they're down in Washington on a short week. They have to take you look at their schedule. You this probably one of the five easiest games in the schedule all year. Consider the talent. So then it's a must win football game, right? No, come on. It's a it's a it's a it looks pretty good, but we saw what happened last night. I don't know what the point spread was for that game. It was four and a half, but man, it was lopsided and it was lopsided for. I don't know. It was lopsided.

It felt like the whole game. It just felt like it felt like the LA Rams were Steph Curry on a cold night shooting. They kept shooting and you saw the hook up with with with staffer didn't couple of receivers. Puka early on and you thought it was going to be a game, but he never really got they really got that rhythm on either side of the ball, man. They stuck and coach Shanahan they they took it to they took it to the Rams last night. They took it to the Rams last night. I want to say one another thing too. Brock Purti was the best quarterback on the field last night. And it's something to be said about, you know, when you talk about all the accolades that Master African came in with and the fact that he was, you know, MVP last year and everything like that. The best quarterback on the field last night. Sure. Was Brock Purti. Many given Sunday. What does that mean any given Sunday? No, and I just what it means is you have to appreciate what you have, man. Football is hard, Joe. Playing quarterback is hard on. It's a must win game and you're hitting me with football is hard.

No, I'm saying it is, man. It's hard. It's a hard game and it was it's a step. It's it's the beautiful thing. I'm playing. Are you going to be finished? No. Beautiful thing about playing this game, man. No matter what. I mean, I would a whole lot of cliches day because it and plus I made a mistake and when I was cleaning out my notebook, I threw away my notes. You told me you took copious notes. I did, but what I did, I got to go get them out the trash because I missed you throughout your notes. You were so proud of your notes. No, I got to go get them. So we're off. We're going to get into this. This isn't all special. Start everybody. It's notes are gone. Because you see me flip through. I'm like, damn it. I do the pages out. But anyway, my point is this. It's hard to play football, man. We have to appreciate what we have in our head coach and our cool. Yeah, wonderful. I'll appreciate them. They win the game on Sunday. I mean, here's the thing. I'm just saying I had an epiphany. Okay. Here's the thing for me and I took notes. I'm so happy you took notes and I'll be happier if the Eagles win this game. I said, which I expect them to do, by the way, this is good. Eagles are going to win the game and I consider it a must win game. It's not a must win.

It is. I just don't see the path to a great season without winning this first game. They have this schedule is not easy. I've said this. It's a day this schedule came out. It's one of the five easiest games in the schedule. To that point, I feel they get the commanders at a good time. The commander's offensive line is all banged up with that being said, I, I, I, I, I'm picking up what you put. Okay. Like I'm just, I'm, I'm, we can, it is. I mean, if we come, oh, listen, we come in here on Monday after a win, which I expect. Okay. We check the first box away. We go. Let's go take down the Titans two and oh, and we got a good question to start this season. If the other is playing the plays out, which I don't even want to say out loud, but if they don't win this football game, it is a disaster. They are a far better roster to their commanders. They have to win this football game. And I consider it a must win. I know that's not what we usually say about week one because a lot of time to recover. If the Eagles are going to be the team, we think they could be, it has, I don't see any path that doesn't include a win over the commanders in week one, two one five, five nine two, ninety four nine for cliche Douglass in week one. Hey, week one. Hey, because you're not playing the game is not playing on pace.

You know what this is? You know what this is? Break, break, break. Break. Break. Break. Grease in the skids if something goes wrong, like, no, lot of season. You got a lot of season left next week. No, no, it's not that. It's that going into that game last night, the heavy favorites. I would say, you know, I know you say four and a half points, but everybody felt with the dream team on the field Myles Garrett. The fact that Sean MacVay, Coach MacVay brought them there right before the game started felt like that everybody thought that this was going to be a boat racing of the San Francisco 49ers. man they came out and they bludgeoned the rams get the rest yeah they bludgeoned the rams and they did it they did it in the air and they did it on the ground i will say though by the betting line the eagles are a bigger favorite over the commanders then the rams were over the 49ers so like this is supposed to be even more of that only the only thing i'm saying is i know that if it doesn't go the way that we think it's gonna go it's gonna all hell is gonna break yes it is and i get that part but it's not the end of the world it's not it's

it's it's putting yourself i disagree no i know you don't know where we are no i do know okay that's why i'm here pop pop dug with okay all right two one i come everybody no no i'm excited i'm not gonna pop up get two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four is this a must win game you can give us your score predictions well it's not some fun of dates our first football Friday the year i think he goes we're gonna win this football game and their defensive lines should dominate this commander's offensive line and we should run the commanders out of the building on offense that's how they win the game they should win the game it's a must win football game to start the year Kyle when he come down we got a must win week one yeah and look i understand that everybody's reaction to last night is like well the rams you know like the boss went against the niders i don't know it's i think it's easier to justify the rams losing to the 49ers last night the niders are a good team of course right there was a weird travel situation all that's often like the rams are gonna be fine the rams are probably you know one of the best roster in the NFL ultimately by the end of the season they can still probably rip off 13 wins 14 wins maybe the Eagles this could be the difference in

11 wins and 10 wins which could cause them a playoff spot and the commander stink which is a huge part of this and your home at the link division opponent week one like i don't know that's a game you can't drop the rams can drop that against the niders the niders are a good team and i get that's tough being in the division of the niders are ripping off a lot of wins by the end of the season that can end up being tough for the rams i get that but like you look at the niders and you're like you they're solid they look like a playoff the commanders are not they look like a basement dweller to me and i mean do you know what it'll be like here monday oh yeah be able to lose yeah well then then next week against the titans is even more of a must win you can't go oh and two before you have to play freaking chicago and i don't know like i i cannot come i cannot come in here monday talking about an eagles law no i don't have any path to the eagles winning 11 12 football games i any any math on it timber me includes beating the commanders at home in week one this is a must win football game it gets this year started it gets the bad taste that our math from last year it takes down an opponent that's not very good and i look at the schedule and i'm

like man there are some tough games in their chicago the rams jag war is in london you know we can go to the cowboys will be tough games right they play the 49ers late in the year of services code the texas the sea ox those are all tough for tougher games i get that but you got to you got to beat up the bad ones like the commanders bad you beat them because the bad that's right that's that's a must win yeah but it's not a must win ooh ooh it's it's it's a it'll be bad if you lost well i'd be it's a must win it's a must win it'll be all bad if you lost all right 215 592 94 94 that is how you hop board we'll get to everyone's phone calls you hear from jane and Daniel's coming up and the commander's offensive coordinator talking about jay on hurts and he has to familiarity with chalmey it's an interesting coaching match up in this game from all the sides 215 592 9494 that's how you hop in we start here is this a must win week one i say it is the eagles need to win this football game it's the midday shell sports radio 94 wip easy way out there's no short car home there's no easy well love this song awesome never any easy way welcome back

middits show awesome you Douglas yo jilly where do you come down is week one the opener a must win for the eagles obviously this i mean it's this this is a clear week one must win this song is awesome this song is terrible well it's all you know what it is it's awesome for our show because you sing it and that's the people want all right we got a lot to get to we're gonna hear from jane and Daniels we're gonna hear from the defensive coordinator here the new one for the watch commanders coming up here in a second here you did mention off the jump today is a heavy day and if anyone wants to share their thoughts and their feelings on 25 years uh you of course it's 9 11 today 25 years ago i know you spoke to uh Marcus Hayes of the inquire i saw the story this morning Marcus wrote a story about kind of the teams here the athletes and your experience you guys experience at that time to dug lambo was quoted in there you were quoted you know for all of us it's a day we'll never forget i mean obviously from your perspective you're trying to prepare for a game you know we know the games didn't happen that week but like i'm sure it was a i'm sure it was a lot just when you factor in hey i got to go to work and prepare for a game but hey there's not work this week

yeah it was it was weird man and i tried to relate at to Marcus i remember coming across the bridge because i lived in jersey at the time and they didn't i think it was the third or fourth plane they they didn't know where it was at and and you were nervous yeah because you didn't you didn't know what was going on first of all and then i remember just when we started practicing the weirdest ever and i just remember there were no planes in the sky like that was crazy to be at to be at the nova care at the time it was an overcarriage of Jefferson Jefferson health care now but to be there at the time and the practice and no planes were in there and or and then when we started flying again every time a plane with everybody was kind of looking you would just you was on you was on pins and needles man it was it was something that was surreal at the time yeah i mean it's the scariest day of our life says americans i mean i so i was in high school at the time in times river new jersey which is probably like a little over an hour outside of of new york city so there were several students no one i was close to but several students in the school that had

family that worked in in downtown Manhattan one which that worked in the world one of the world trade centers so like that there was a palpable fear in the that day i mean luckily everyone that i was in our school their family was okay but it listen it's a day we'll never forget it's a day every day on this date it just at all those emotions come back to you and especially today being the 25th so you know obviously we wish our condolences everyone to lost someone we all did as americans and and we honor everyone that were the heroes that day and we'll continue to over the years 215 592 94 94 must win on sunday against the commanders it certainly is in my mind he Douglas for some reason is saying now i mean they got to win this football game when they will will in the northeast starts us off on wip well what's up oh baby you know what's up baby listen i y'all doing dream team what's going on i just want to say you know um to all of the people who gave their lives to save other people live i bless you and and your family man now thank you for

your service um listen what i saw yesterday was a lot of people gas before air now you started to see what i'm talking about you see what the San Francisco 49th day they gasped the Rams man they was huffing and plucking and breathe they couldn't even breathe well i agree with you i thought the Rams were out of gas in the second half of the game i and you know what maybe part of that is they don't they don't play in the preseason they don't put anyone in the preseason they're not ready to go right but guess what that's who that's not going to happen to us oh uh baby because we used to play it like that you know what i mean come on guy you know what time it is man it's equal time talk come on Philly let's go you know what time it is thank you have to know we're going to rock these what you want to call the man there's come a dog come on you're gonna have to come on you're gonna have to go a lot of rich money we're all

they make us fight everybody's just rocking and getting ready to take these loose and play these this is going to be the way to go everybody keeps that scale up everybody keeps trying to come on let's go get this one take one point of game time to get it but take this one take one point 40 plus points baby nobody is going to believe it but jelly point is show you and he was going to show you what's that baby we still want to do this it's not what this is the most way this but that's what it's what we've got to do more it's not the bus with the street but that's what i'm telling you i'm telling you how the camp is a street for the dogs and we're ready to see if they look stop being a companion but guess what we're going to get the job but just what they need to do it's just what we're going to do to eat this what happens to the kids it's like we're not good to do them thing it's like we're not good to do you know what wills week one ready more week one ready than he does let's not take that much

on that well i mean yeah i mean it's cliches and all that we want the must-win football game not a must-win you know we could get a robot in here that just says that the cliches i like how it becomes personal like it always hey i thought it always devolves in the person the person it's a must-win game you are accepting mediocrity already no i'm not a said the mediocrity any give it Sunday i'm about to go to a bunch of cliches and he gave a son not this one no not my house i'm not the bird to you we must protect this house remember that commercial yeah that thing like 25 years old can we be honest with ourselves we must protect this out can we be honest with that are we gonna feel like everything's okay if they lose the game no okay then that makes it a much-win game okay i didn't like we're having two different conversations nope i didn't say that we weren't going to feel some kind of way if they lose but to put it like i guess i'm thinking or feeling like the season's over if we lose this game i the over over it's strong but i i what i i believe what i said a few minutes ago

the path to getting to 11 12 wins i can't find the math without this win this this i feel you know there's like five or six games in the schedule like all right uh tend to see first game at home against washed in the cardinals like those are games you just you should get you just put them in the neck of the w column and if you start taking those w's and put them to the out column you know the paths of the playoffs gets harder no i don't want that i get what you're saying but you know when you know when uh when Rutgers opened up their season with you mass and they gave them what one point five million dollars yeah they felt that that was a that was a a gamey game right because you you pay them sure you pay one point five million dollars for ass whooping right and all i'm saying is at any given time the tables can turn that's all yeah but yeah yeah yeah yeah and i'm not trying i know you're picking them to win but you you're making me feel like you're not confident no no what i'm saying like i am picking the egos and win and i think they're going to win but i don't want to to paint myself in the corner where i'm telling myself if they lose to the commadors in the first game that the rest of the season is a wash because you don't

feel like you're a little bit worried they might lose no i'm not i'm not worried about that but i'm also trying to be realistic about potentially it happening because nobody saw the beat down that we saw last night no i i think there was definitely a path you know look chanahan's a great coach and and the level those two teams play each other close all the time so i think you there was a path to where it was a close game to your point though i agree with you nobody saw the night or blow them out nobody saw their company that was a surprise nobody saw Joe and not only that it was the physical domination they killed them on the ramp they just crushed them they physically dominated because you know what you're talking about was it the tackle trend Williams right going against miles Garrett he didn't get a whole lot of help zero pressure for miles Garrett you know it was miles Garrett first games it's 2018 without a single pressure that's crazy and now and and not making excuses for anybody but i like i and and and granted i don't watch a whole i haven't been watching a whole lot of sports and i haven't been looking at the injury port or anything like that i ain't hearing nothing

about miles Garrett no injury you know need yeah he didn't practice must this summer okay but yeah but it wasn't it wasn't he didn't practice because of the i didn't hear anything about the need yeah i it was the need okay but i'm just saying you you when you're out there as a player as a player of his caliber right you ain't got no excuses oh i know i know they were bad last night and look that was a surprise i i just i can't accept a surprise here the Eagles have to win this football game any path to the season we want them to have includes a win over the commanders it's a must win game it's a must win in terms of how i feel about them this season it's a must win it's a must win for their year i'm i'm just telling you right now the path to the playoffs without this win on Sunday is is tenuous there's no easy way out they need this game and i expect them to get this game let's hear from a couple guys and the commanders as we we welcome in an opponent that we got to know very well two years ago right three matchups including the NXT championship game last year the commanders fell off very fast they stunk Daniels got hurt and that last game i mean it was just it was a waste of time that that game can we hear jaden Daniels Kyle on on facing the Eagles here

in Philadelphia i mean there are very sound defense a lot of good players a lot of respect for them what they do just not a defense but just as an organization as a whole the whole team you got been a game man because they're not they're gonna make you pay so we gotta go out there and just try execute our game plan to the best our abilities um and you guys gonna be a dog fight you if i had it if i had to make a list of the five there's no easy way out today jose football season is officially here i gotta tell you the more he sings and laughs the more i think he's not confident the game was on the no i'm i'm how do you think he's confident they're gonna win i don't feel it i am he's you're scared he's shaking like a leaf on a tree second i am excited the football season is finally here and we've had our first example of any given Sunday we well i think of him Thursday okay well yeah yeah it's a man it's Thursday yeah yeah though when was that game played because the game was played Friday in in on

sure but it was played Thursday night here so what what do you consider guess there was a Friday morning football or Thursday night football it might be whatever okay but you know what's funny what you know what other thing i noticed where about it park outside that stadium because it was no parking around that public transportation man that is crazy yeah my name is jellie have you okay don't don't look like i want to go all right well that look like that's a long day nobody tail game i don't see any tailgating areas in there nice and none of that i think that seemed pretty cool though hundred thousand people packed in in Melbourne to watch the game are you i was before you started singing i was saying that if i don't make a list of the five wild card like x factors of the season just in that cross the NFL you know who's on that list who's that jaden daniel's what do you think he is i mean two years ago he has well that he is i mean as a player so he had a kind of fine she's not responding to you right i mean it's over it's over okay so two years ago he has one of the greatest rookie seasons any rookie quarterbacks ever had right then last year banged up didn't even play that well when he played he'll well kind of quarterback we go

on up against on sunday okay i don't know the answer given the history of the comma doors you know and i just had a vision in my head and you probably don't remember then you probably won't get the get the uh the correlation but i remember when when uh what's the name rg3 got hurt and they had the meme of him doing the stanky leg yeah i think that they're probably gonna get jaden daniel's hurt the same kind of well i'm not no no get me wrong i'm not wish for him to get hurt but when you talk about that poorest offensive line and they lost what lamory tonsil yes and the fact that they couldn't protect him last year and they were banking on him to play this year uh he needs to get the ball out of his hands quick that's what i'm thinking if we put the type of pressure on him that we can it's gonna be a long day for jaden day uh look i i think they could ruin him i mean to that that's what i said when that when the first thought was when when they had that when they put you remember when they put rg3 back out there he was hurt they put him back out there he got hurt even worse now daniel's isn't hurt to start this season no he's not but he doesn't have an

offensive line that that's gonna protect i know i mean look you you could tell me right now that look like they're not gonna protect him yeah no right i mean then well the couple weeks ago when they were uh face off against the ravens in a joint practice one of their reporter said that the the line was inoperable i think just couldn't block anybody so yeah man they could ruin that kid he looked like a star two years ago last year not so much we'll see on sunday what he looks like but i expect the eagles to win and it is a must win game for them there's no questions as much as you want to pretend it's not i mean and it's what it says it's pretending it's not because you know deep down what's gonna happen if they don't win this or this fear no not at all there's excitement yeah but you did you did say realistic you don't want to put your expectations out there because it's okay for example i had this a good friend of mine who made a declaration yesterday yep and said that the ramps were gonna go under feet yeah was it was a bold prediction not a declaration bold prediction in a bold prediction segment my story official statement coming up 11 15 on that by the way no i'm just saying a friend of mine yeah friend of mine officially set out there and say it

said oh Prem's gonna go 17 oh 20 in our includes oh my my fault the whole thing the whole thing 2020 in our said that with his chest his whole time to do with the eagles not what i'm saying is not a thing okay 17 and oh eight 20 and oh right yeah but and you and you said i'm glad you said that because you said their their season is in the super bowl yeah what you're probably still nothing changes there if only thing changed from that from from that bold prediction is the fact that they're not gonna go into feet it they can still make everything happen that they want to make well so i agree with you but they're better that they're a better roster than the eagles so they have more margin for error the eagles don't to know i know i and i understand that part and and i also acknowledge that if you lose this game sunday nobody's gonna be happy about it against the team that look like trash in the precinct look like trash in the precinct well that's to mean that's the i mean it is a funny comparison but the differences the 49ers are good right the remforses to a good team the eagles are playing a bad team of some

even with that being said nobody nobody it felt like nobody felt that the 49ers really had a chance i know some people i don't know some people were talking about it some people picked them you know but but when you talk about that all star lineup and the fact that you had the nvp and they and listen they were trying to throw the ball all over all over the place early on they tried to establish the passing game early it's still their work out in their favor it did not it not i mean look they had a bad night and the nighters were way better last night 215 592 90 for now for david and west chester's up on wp david what's up there la la mont and joe how are you what's up hi joe listen i have a new boot of therapists and i'm gonna help you out today for your charge okay so what i want you to do is breathe in okay go breathe in okay just breathe i just breathe out slowly okay all right i want you to calm yourself young man all right you're being on alarmist you're gonna cause panic in the streets with the way you're saying this is a

must win must win must win now now now it's not a must win but they're going to win which totally blows your entire no theory out of why no no it's it's that it's not i believe they're going to win and it is a must win game i want why would i make a game i don't think they're going to win a must win game that doesn't make any sense and that well no you don't make any sense and i know well i believe they're going to win but it's a must win it's not i mean you know it's a fricking and you know and you hit it on the head because i had this with cow because cow's ripping apart too but any given sunday bro any give it to us no bro come on i just i just want you to have a breathe in and breathe out relax relax yo i don't do any of that stuff i just yell up on the radio and that that's how i feel better and this is a must win football game for the Eagles if they're going to get to a leverage what yes it is i'll say it right now there's no easy way yeah i'll tell you it's cool you all right it's no joke i'm going to go easy way yeah i'm going to stand up on dog with the hero

but it's stand up take your nonsense out of your day all right my mark the only way the Eagles win the NFC East is to win this game on Sunday the only way i'm just telling you right now that like they need all the division wins they could get and they need i don't think we realized that how uh the scale of easy games they have how high this is up on the on the scale it commanders team in week one while the Eagles are healthy at home and they don't have an offensive line this is if you were to write down there three or four or five easiest games this is it they got to win this football game as much as you dug was trying to sing his way out of this one that they need to win this game can we hear from the new coordinator new defensive coordinator four for the for the commander saraute Jones talking about johren hurts dynamic uh you know with jalen he's he has a knack for extending the play um he has his superpowers and you know he's uh he can make he's he's one of the best at throwing an eyeball you know the deep shot down the sideline and that showed up last year even against the Vikings and so a guy like that

who's been around and he's grown he's matured and you can see how he's gotten better and better each year in his phase and i think the way they're used doesn't matter who the caller who the play call over there has been he still has had successful years and be that's because uh the type of player and leader that he is for that organization and so it's always a challenge going against a guy like that and you know our guys are uh we're excited he was interesting listening to him yesterday that's the new coordinator for the commanders on defense how much new is with all these teams now so the the only unit on the two teams on sunday that it has the same coordinator play call from last year is the Eagles defense would vick right Eagles have a new offense quarter shamanian the commanders have a new offense coordinator david blow and a new defense of coordinator through on tjones he would feel like week one so little this do we even know about all these teams because there's so much like the commanders were bad last year yes they're probably going to be not good again but they do have two brand new coordinators it makes these games it makes week one very interesting each year because like what are they what are they keeping from last year what

are they not keeping from last year and then jones was mentioning he was on the staff in minnesota when shamanian was there so he he knows him too yeah i mean it's a lot it's a lot going on with these two teams man but when you look at it the the talent has to take over yeah that's what you think would have that's the talent has to take over and and there it's going to be just prepared everybody might be a little sloppy might be a little sloppy oh i expect that yeah but as long as we come out on top and and we look like we're moving in the right direction that's why i think that matters because even last night we talked about that San Francisco game they came out in that second half right like they caught their second win and they just start pulling hey make yeah well they felt they supplied they brought they brought the food dude i know jio if jion richie watched that game last night he had the he had to be crying tears of joy to see that well from the the full bag and full bag motion and how they use that that's old school football right there they brought the full bag back in a big way last night well and and they ran and the four

years ran the ball really well last night and they were running right up the middle on the ramps that they took they took it to him it was it was a great game by kyle shenan's team two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four let's say hop it all right we got a lot to discuss today on the show we'll get the some fillies in a little bit that was a that was a bad loss yesterday and a bad series against the use of astros france key friday at twelve scott will join us ahead of the final series of the year against the Atlanta braves that starts tonight down at land and we'll go ease dropping on the enemy maryl moment he was favorite segment every football friday guest to take it's i'm it's great it there's not like the first football friday the year and this one it comes with a must win this is a must win football game for the full dog feagles agree disagree and i have an official statement in the eleven o'clock hour on my bowl prediction gone bad yesterday we'll get to all that your calls that's is that a must win for the eagles i say yes you Douglas doesn't believe so where do you come down it's the midday show sports radio ninety four w i pay welcome back midday show you Douglas show jill you guys with us two one five five nine two

ninety four ninety four official statement on my bowl prediction gone bad eleven fifteen and i think he wants me to apologize the next serianny for something i'm not gonna do that but we'll get to all that coming up your phone calls here is this a must win football game for the eagles obviously it is obviously it is it clearly is we go to gentleman jack up on w i p gentleman jack you what's going on guy what's up jack how are you what do you think man well i mean it's been nine first time call i've been here nine years i never called before well happy to have you welcome to w i p thank you thank you uh i've been around to a lot of media markets uh in the area i lived uh chicago and lana l l a l how and i think by far you guys and this city is the best so i want to give those kudos out first second i want to just say you know my heart goes out to the dick of nine eleven including myself uh so that's all i want to say about that and definitely this is a must win i mean just who they are we got to win uh we can't

give away games that we should win so and and i feel confident because of jaywen you know jaylen's fine he got the money he got the girl and that's all old news we heard that now he's back to money and the girl jaylen's people need to leave jaylen alone he's gonna be fine he was jaylen gonna be fine he's out of mind yeah i think he will be i think he will be he got the like you say he got the money he got the girl well he might want some more money at some day he's gonna he's gonna get that a financial yeah that's that well i don't know about apology jack good go ahead jack well he is a winner and now it's now it's about you know evolving in a new office the jackman we've preached a phone call in the common words all right expectation week one jaylen hurts the new offense you Douglas uh i expect i expect i have a pretty good game i expect my phone is doing something yeah yeah i expect i'm having a pretty good game man uh you look at the you look

at the combined passing yards from all the quarterbacks that i played thus far i think 225 yards is decent i think that's a decent start because you i forgot who it was i think how many times think the eagles offense got into 25 last year no i'm saying that i'm just i'm yeah i think that's a good number for the i think it'd be nice okay one hundred i'm thinking by one 90 one ninety one ninety two hundred yeah i am in two hundred feels like a number you want to get to well because it's the first game of the season and we've seen even you know they were throwing the ball all over the school yard last night but you we've seen you know the last two games the passing game has not been as crisp the best passing game that i've seen thus far in the four the two games that i've seen party was parties no question oh without quite any through a picker early and he just kept going he like there's something to be said because there were to tell a two different games from from Wednesday night to thursday to thursday night's game Friday whatever you want to call it uh you saw two quarterbacks that established the passing game early in the game the other game

the other night you saw more of a ground game or more of a mixture of the of the running the past game yeah but these two quarterbacks were gunslingin last night and and one i looked at when i was looking at staffer i thought a step if Steph Curry on a cold night now i haven't seen too many times that Steph Curry has been cold doesn't have too many of those yeah i haven't seen too many of those but that was the thing that i thought about when i saw him throwing the football because he threw he he threw a couple of lasers the pooh early on and i thought i'd say yeah this is probably going to get ugly but they never he could never consistently do it when they got the first pick when pretty through the first pick they turned around a couple plays later and gave it right back oh they did there's no question um so here so here it's for me on sunday it's not about passing yards for jayl and hearts it's about points scored on the board yeah so i'm gonna here's the number for me that i that i am most interested in for sunday 24 is the number i'm gonna throw a stat at you i saw this week when it comes to jaden daniel's as the commander's quarterback here jaden daniel's is twelve and oh as a starter in washington when they give up fewer than 24 points when the

commanders allow fewer than 24 points which jaden daniel says their quarterback they have not lost in two years 24 points is the number to me that's that to me that's the number for sunday i don't i don't care if jayl and has a hundred and in 60 yards passing if he has a 210 yards passing 24 is the number for the eagles offense they get to 24 on sunday they will win the football game without question 20 anything less than that and i think the game becomes very tight with you know a possession to go in the fourth quarter let's go to chris in middle town what's out chris happy football friday man happy football we're back Chris it is officially a football friday what's up man we are back uh let's start with this so 25 years ago our country was attacked um but unfortunately the people that did it they had the wrong idea because uh they didn't go well for them after that so um i actually was uh just got out of the army uh was living in Tucson air zone so definitely a day i'll never never forget um fortunately a lot of uh good friends my men that's going over
