What the Eagles are saying ahead of Week 17 matchup vs. Saints

It’s me. I have to do a better job of coaching what I want out of that call. I’m not going to get into specifics of the call, but I liked the call. But looking back at it, we have to do a better job putting our guys in position to make that play and get off the field because you can’t give up a 3rd and 30. That was a play in that game that I felt like was a little bit of a tipping point when we let them convert and then they scored that drive, that hurts the ball club.

Got to do a better job myself.

Yeah, I mean, anytime you give up explosive passes and situationally conversions on 3rd down like we did, it always falls on me to coach that a little bit better and put our guys in better spots. Then for our guys to know exactly where their eyes have to be, what technique, what calls they have to make pre-snap and post-snap and just function at a little bit better level to do what we’ve been doing and really playing good pass defense in known pass. It was a good learning experience for us.

A little bit. I probably could have got to some different calls when he did go out. I thought he was playing extremely well. But we always look at we feel comfortable with anyone that’s out there and the spots that they’re in. We always talk about if you’ve got a jersey and you’re playing, we feel good about you. [CB] Josiah [Scott] has played really good ball for us when [CB] Avonte [Maddox] has been out a couple times this year. When we set up the game plan, you always have, hey, here’s who our guys are playing, here’s who their guys are playing. Then you have to adjust that in game as it gets going if you lose people or they lose people or what they’re trying to do. We’ll have a good plan moving forward.
