and the cops when you see two-pops who shot you but the punk's didn't finish now you bet to feel the wrath of a minute it is the w-i-p after-noonshow with iq spike and fritz at your two thirty two pop louis cocoa you can never go wrong with hit them up oh no never go wrong with it selection we'll have our three three thirty country four thirty nine I mean the best one though what hit him up yeah against all odds was better uh... macabrelly oh really think i think that was better me a bit girl friend is on macabrelly too more commercialize and and publicize because it was biggie yeah it was huge yeah it was huge and the livin dine la is on macabrelly too right isn't it yes yes i love that song as time goes on i like that more than i did at the time well as a good record so we'll have our three thirty country four thirty ninety five thirty
creed we are not at the rally roiers for it at muggers because there were some technical difficulties so we're here we do love muggers and we do tell you that the best seat on sunday is at muggers you can enjoy miller light for less and four bucks NFL Sunday ticket check out the calendar pop-up shops until gate tastings for the ultimate game day atmosphere make a muggers so we will get back to the eagles in a second and our main topic here however the fields look they're not going to win every game uh... andropainer is not going to look great every game finally finally you put together a good stretch any finally at one yet he had one and you know what the fact that he got through what he get through six innings five innings was fact that he got through it he did it wasn't a three in a third does it tax the bullpen all that sort of stuff and a nice little thing that the fills battle back and don't lose meekly six to nothing but this base running thing is look uh... i've been yelling about this for three years now
this is not a a problem just from this year it is the most infuriating and i think insulting thing that they do last night it was marsh it was bone and it was so so now the bone one will get to in a second because maybe he had a bad angle on the ball i don't know there's there's no outs maybe he wants to tie up get to third okay marsh what are you doing like what's he doing those use bone had one of those a few weeks ago where they're like there's second third nobody out just watch the ball get out of the infield what are you doing and because i'll tell you what the problem is and he apologize afterwards said it was wrong and glad he took responsibility nobody is thinking about what they're going to do before it happens we learned this a little leak that what you and what the manager always beaten to your head and little league and then in high school is hey if this happens what are you going to do right if that happens what are you going to do if this that they look like they're always just reacting instinctually
and not like they haven't considered what should i do if this happens yeah because marsh like he starts running the right so and then and then do so so i love and mundo so so we all love and mundo so yeah you're not very bond you're not errand judge you're not sammy so sir if if i you're hitting 220 if you had a long fly ball run and if you're going to pimp that fly ball it better be in the second deck man because he should have been on third right that changes everything and this is it's brain dead and ike it's going to cost them a playoff yeah listen you've been saying this and i don't think anyone can argue that it's one of those things that you you know in the back of your mind oh please let them get through this game without beating themselves you know some blunder some some bonehead mistake some self-inflicted one that's that's what's always in the back of your mind
especially as you get closer to october the games are obviously more important but you don't have very many games left and you're still doing stuff that you were doing in april and in may and these are veteran players if it was if it was crawfer maybe you could chalk it up to over super rinse and he just he's trying to score whatever whatever but like you said i didn't go back to lonely ball hit in front of you if nothing else you take a step back was or you just freeze yes what you don't do is bury ahead and just take off running to brana marsh is 30 i think it's mundo sosa's 30 alic bomb is 30 yeah they've been playing baseball a long time have a meeting yeah like you know we can blame the players but i i just i want somebody and to to pull but brana marsh does that he's out of the game right alic bomb almost honestly sit him sosa is the one i think deserved to be pulled and we love sosa we love sosa but he's the one that deserved to be pulled if they were
going to pull anybody Brandon marsh i think he just had a brain cramp and just went because there's just too many brana i told you there's no excuse for there's no excuse for i look at sosa and i say that is what people get on ball players about doing and that's why they get on ball players about doing it you don't think it's going to hurt you at some point but that's when it ultimately does and you're not in every day player to be the i can only imagine if i got a penalty for celebrating or something they gave an offense and automatic first down i'm as well just walked in the locker room don't even go to the sideline they they may shoot me on the way to the sideline and you know and i say that as a guy who was a role player that is put in a position to help those other guys out there and you're asked or you're being you've earned that role because you've earned it because you've been a smart player and you make the most of your opportunities don't start acting like you arrived and you can do things
you see other guys doing just because they're star players and moon do sosa should never have that happened no never have that happened you you are not and and akuni did it we don't like it when stars do it right exactly and dude if that ball goes out of the park if you want to dance around the bases right after the ball is gone out of the park have at it celebrate but i also and i like i know this sounds you know petty of me but i see him on second base celebrating yeah you you should be kicking dirt yeah you're not a third exactly it just it tells me crazy man have a meeting and bomb is just a damn giraffe out there once he gets going one way and he's talking to him to turn around and start again yeah start was already on him yes he was a foot behind him he was a foot behind was unreal there's always going passing and one other thing to watch for i thought he was going passing yeah but look like he was going to it was literally that's what happened to pass him the
the other thing to watch for because i felt this so i looked up the numbers so uh august first to august 23rd they're averaging like five and a half walks a game august 24th until today they're averaging like three point two walks a game like their walks are down brisest walks that have been basically been cut in half the last few weeks and their runs down from five point eight to three point four they're not always going to score runs but this is what this fillys team does they get their backs against the wall they do that little thing you hope they always do and then they start succeeding and they go okay we can go back to what we did before and that grinding look it's going to be harder to grind against good pitchers than bad but the fillys have a habit of doing this against bad making bad pitchers look good too keep that was working yeah the the walking and the taking pictures it was working don't forget that it was working yeah get back doing that uh you got one next to yes yes you just have to yeah i'm next to two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four we'll get back into the birds right after ike tells you about

jeweler's dot com telemic station speaking marks jeweler's they sponsor today's twitter question and that is was what we started with today the question is raised this way ike which option will make you feel better about the rest of the season option a offense looks great jalen looks great in it eagles lose a shootout thirty seven thirty four option b eagles offense looks very clunky jalen looks out of sorts eagles win thirteen nine what do you think the poll is at option a which is the offense looks great option b offense doesn't look good uh equals should be it b what what should the number uh i'll say it's a b let's go 58 percent 71 percent b damn i'm gonna take i love i'm gonna take my almost 30 percent i love that he offense humming it's 30 percent silent majority i don't know if that's what a silent majority is but i i do think yes i i do think well i know there are people out there to feel that way i sure i think as the week went on you might feel better about it but sunday night you'd be mad monday you'd be mad the week went on
two on five five nine two ninety four ninety four korean Columbus year on w up e hay kory the only people that will be mad will be the psychotic crazy people that can't get anything through their skull people like you that would understand that this team is a defensive led team with a run again right there was times last year where the offense look good and we we looked at it as a whole so let's just say okay we scored thirty seven points off it's look good clap over there but then next week we lose to the tight and thirteen the nine right are we gonna feel good now we don't we don't drop two games thirty seven point and one nine no we not gonna feel good so i'm never sacrificing a win for how my team looks i don't know how many times people can't get that through their head i know it's a question you know this ain't you you know we got to have a meeting we talk about it yet it's going how can we get the people in i love it y'all stand football is back but i'm never ever ever and if you out there doing that you're insane because like i said
we never sacrificed in ways for for for for looking good guys what is we talking about and i get it everybody want to feel good uh offense score thirty point yeah clap it how we love good shot man in the guy i don't care about none of that yes you do i gotta win my you do you do you do you do you do you care but but but but but hold on this one i mean by like i care okay go ahead go ahead well to say we're a defensive football game that uh you know it's a power running game that it's great but you can still do that while the offense looks great the there are examples of that they're Baltimore uh not last year but prior years good defense uh you know running based offense and the offense still looks great passing buffalo has looked that way Seattle last year has looked that way i i don't think to say i think sometimes we think it's a trade off that this is one of the issues i have with LEDs like well we're a defensive football team that runs the ball okay but that doesn't preclude the other thing from happening unless you think that we're not capable no it's just
that i understand what you're saying and you gotta have the ability and this one i don't think we honestly we don't highlight enough when it comes to jaylin in the past game and again it doesn't mean it can't be better and there's areas to improve upon that's the beauty of this thing is that there is room to grow but being comfortable or okay with winning how you're winning versus looking for another way to win is what i think sometimes separates the eagle fan right because there are some fans that want to see the explosive offense want to see you put up numbers especially when you got the talent there to do it and then there are fans it's like man as we win i honestly i don't care we you know we'll get them next week we'll score more points next week but getting the win is ultimately the only thing that matters we've got to accept jaylin being a quarterback it's not gonna always look the same way that's what i've accepted i just i just i just i finally got out of
fighting that for years and it's like well this is just what it's gonna look like right it's like this is just what it looks like i just want to real quick i just want to piggy piggyback off the conversation that kind of guy i'm like man you you would eat y'all you're always go man i tell y'all y'all y'all y'all be having takes out the wazoo yeah right i gotta i gotta bring this up i just gotta ask you this bite yeah and i i know this is like this isn't it's gonna be like a josh y'all in question i want i want to address that but it's just overall questions okay do you think being a buffalo bill fans and let's say eagle fans right do you think a buffalo bill fan would have traded with the eagles has had the past five years over what they've had yes yeah without question yes but i also think that's what i want to see but i also think kory that the eagles would trade their quarterback for the bill's quarterback in a hot second but they give keep the success but they're on the whole they win trade they win trade the lack of team success i agree i agree but but but did see
but and then the hold on one sec kory the the clip goes online everybody argues about or whatever i want to be clear that elliott started that by saying the eagles wouldn't have been able to win the same at the same rate with josh alana as they have with jalen hurts because he doesn't think he could do the same thing that is a psychotic thing to say i'm sorry i didn't bring up right that that was really early on yeah so i think i agree with you i think bills fans would kill for a super bowl they would throw for eight yards for a super bowl but if you also ask them hey okay would you give up your quarterback for our quarterback they were all say no so so i think both things can be true yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you also got a view that this also you got a view that right like look look at the scenario right so at what elliott said it was crazy but like when you said we will have five super bowl that's that's that's not control you made me mad you guys look he made me mad no but look at but look at because if you look at the situations right i don't even know if we had if we had josh alana past five years
we might be in the same scenario let's like let's let's let's let's psychoanalyze it right real quick if you look at 2020 right or 2021 first year it's her sister's a starter they're losing that buffalo game i mean they're losing that that that that bucks game with josh alana we're jayla rager and then that we we know it's out yeah yeah yeah yeah but we still losing that game all right in 2022 we go to the super bowl we know where josh alana doing when he's he passed my home's in a playoff and josh alana playing any better but hold on core in the super core but what you're doing is you're taking away all the other different things that would have happened during the year that that put them in a different position like do we do it for team up three okay yes but last year are we in 2023 do we only win 11 games in 2024 like they just like all the things that happen they go into it that put no i maybe you don't have to put real quick real quick the only year that you
could say it could have ended different was last year that's only here 23 i mean now now now 2024 2024 to office with passing office could have been better of course but even if you look at 23 right we lost again to the cardinals 38 to 34 with our because our defense was bad and not get it like the year that by after the shoe by give you all that but i'm saying if you add josh alana to this team over the past five years hurts in your the only difference that might have been an outcome would have been last year that's it well and also you wouldn't have a question about your your quarterback moving forward which the close and close in this real quick look with if somebody come to you and they be like oh uh this is why you gotta see how eagle fans the way they are if they're like oh you could trade vow for riana or biancé or british whoever whoever your questions do you want to do that what that's my wife what like we we're not hurting our wife why they are not why we're not creating our wife are for the audience oh yeah you try to
upgrade you have what you got that's basically what he's saying yeah happy with what he has you don't need a book or a alright get out of there clip that i'm sure jelana's they got a extra yeah hey no i would have rejected that question yeah don't bring it to me yeah also i didn't answer i know you did no smart man yeah i of course i picked my life fit we don't have a lifetime contract with jelana i have a lifetime contract with my wife that's true you know true not i don't get paid what jelana gets paid you know but whatever all right two one five five two ninety four ninety four you have a choice offense is cooking jelana's cooking on sunday eagles lose 37 34 or offense looks clunky jelana looks out of sorts eagles win 13 i like it is phrase and we still fall through it yeah 70 plus percent yeah yeah well i'll come doing my best my best uh jason evan joins us for the full hour next that'll be great i'm very excited i've jason in here
