00:00NFL football. We've got a couple of minutes left with Rob Vino here. NFL football, Philadelphia

00:08Eagles, Rob's in Philadelphia. Coming off the Monday nighter right now, it seems like

00:14there's trouble in paradise, or it's not so sunny in Philadelphia, I should say right

00:19now. Already early in the season, you know, I thought that they could absorb A.J. Brown

00:23being out more than they did. It was clearly a problem in the red zone. And now it looks

00:29like Gardner Johnson's gonna miss this game. Slay looks a step slow in the secondary, Rob.

00:35And whatever. We all thought the Saints would suck. Newsflash, they don't. And I think the

00:40Saints team's gonna be able to score on Philadelphia. I like the Saints on Sunday. Rob, what's the

00:44feeling in Philadelphia? What's your feeling about it?

00:46Yeah, the feeling isn't great here in Philadelphia, Gabe. First of all, they can't rush the passer.

00:52That's now become a national fact. Everybody knows it now. But they don't rush the passer.

00:57And then, like you mentioned, with Johnson missing, that weakens the defense even more.

01:01And I'll say it again, with Vic Fangio as your defensive coordinator, who loves to live

01:05on pressure and man coverage, just isn't gonna work here. So he's got to alter the scheme

01:09a little bit. And the other side's loaded with wide receiver speed. Chris Olave hasn't

01:13even gotten going yet. Everything's been Rashid Shaheed. You have A.T. Perry. You have Cedric

01:18Wilson. I mean, that team, when you add in Alvin Kamara out of the backfield as a dual

01:23rep, has a lot of weapons. And if you can't rush Derek Carr like Dallas couldn't last

01:29week, even with a backup left tackle for New Orleans, you're having trouble. So I agree

01:33with the movement toward the over. New Orleans will get theirs. I think Philly can still

01:36get theirs. And a couple of dumb mistakes by Sirianni not scoring on that first drive

01:41with Saquon was gaining nine a carry. Oh, I talked about it.

01:46He pulls him and puts in Kenneth Gainwell and runs him into the middle twice in a row

01:50and third down. That's exactly what it works. I was like, I said, what the effort did you

01:54give it again? Well, the small guy for to run it up the middle. You think that's gonna

01:58work? And I even said, Rob, I at the time I was like, take the three, bro, take the

02:04three. And I'm an over batter. And even I'm like, just take the three. And I brought up

02:10McVay not doing it in Detroit the week before, in which he did the same thing. He went forward

02:15from like the nine yard line or something. And it was like, dude, it's the first quarter.

02:19What are you doing coach early in a second or whatever? And oh, yeah, the game goes to

02:23overtime and you end up losing. Like these coaches like of, you know, they're allergic

02:27to taking three points, Rob. It's amazing. No, it's serious. He's not allergic to running

02:33up and down the sidelines, high fives. He's throwing his team under the bus for 15 minutes.

02:40Yeah. Well, the plays count as the OC, but I,

02:43you're going to lose everyone's respect.
