All right. Eagles finally got their first win yesterday against the new york jets. Big win, too. You know what, it helped them avoid starting the season in a big zerothree hole. Very worried about that. Lets go do unto chickies and petes where we find howard eskin with more on the win. Hey, howard. Reporter lucy, thats pretty good math. 03 is not good number. And one and two is a better number. Not a good enough number. Eagles were better. They got started quicker. 24zero is a quicker start you dont want it to have come down to an on side kick so many good things about the Football Game. Darrin sproles the defense played great again ill tell you one player that really stepped up and its the running back because Demarco Murray was out for the game. So Ryan Matthews getting the bulk of the carries because Demarco Murray was hurt. He ran for 108 yards. Now thats on 25 carries. Now, the last 100yard rushing game by a player for the eagles was back on thanksgiving last year and the eagles only had 4100 rushing games by a player last season. So i asked chip kelly even if Demarco Murray is available for next week, Ryan Matthews still get the bulk of the carries next week . I have no idea. Thats not a concern for any of us. We dont really think about it. I had two guys down on saturday. He may be one of them going down so he wont get any carries. With the way he played is he better for the way this offense is playing right now. Demarco fits in pen perfectly with what were doing and ryan does too and so does strolls. God willing and the pope can bless us again all three will be available on sunday gets the redskins. It seems Ryan Matthews gets around the edge a little quicker. Okay. Is that had the Howard Eskins opinion. Is that an incorrect observation . I think he played really well on sunday. Thats it. Very good observation on your part. Reporter well, im open for more observation if chip kelly needs it but Darrin Sproles was also a part of that. Ryan matthews was. Darrin sproles an interesting stat an interesting side line to what he did which well talk about Darrin Sproles and have the coach and players talk about Darrin Sproles coming up at 6 00 im check to information on a possible injured reserve for cody parkey but well do that at 6 00 oclock. Back to you, lucy. Howard, chip seems like he needs milk and cookies and to be a little happier. He seems grumpy all the time. Im just saying. But thats all right. I like to spar with him and he doesnt mind sparring with me and it really wasnt a sparring session. Ryan matthews right now look quicker and faster for this team. Thats my observation and i told chip it was for free. There you go. You he got a freebie perfect from howard eskin. Have fun at chickies and petes get my crab fries, please.
