Seven here the original the original miracle at the metal lands though Vembra 19th 1978 less than 30 seconds to go in the game giants have no time out and The Eagles fought cause the fumble Herman Edwards brings it back. I love the I don't believe it I don't believe it. It is an unbelievable moment like it's just a crazy moment way to win a game And it's one of many Miracles of the metal ants with a photo because we actually do we have a second Merrill moment today? Do we have Merrill moment number six as well? We get a double double dose Let's let's let's hear Merrill moment number six as we count down to the top 50 Merrill moments ever and this all leads Of course to Merrill live on Tuesday at the Scottish right auditorium in college. Well, let's get to number six The 1980 NFC championship game Hugh Douglas Choworsky hands that are over Montgomery He takes off and the Eagles were on their way to their first super bowl appearance I just pulled out the box score of the game. Obviously was here. It was against the Cowboys
Two they ran them out of the building 40 rushes. That's awesome for 260 263 yards on the ground. That's an ass kicking Yes, and I love the I love the crowd noise there at the vet 262 some in 63 yards on the ground What a day the Eagles clinched their first cerebral appearance that means starting tomorrow We're into the top five Merrill moments of all time we get to have one during the pregame show on Sunday I guess that'd be number four. We'll count them down. What's gonna be crazy? All right, so late game to oh the crowd's gonna be wild on Sunday All right, so guys now they're waiting to the top five. Do we have any guesses on well? I don't know I mean I just know I know what we've heard I know what we've talked about every day well We have two final calls of two Super Bowl. Yes, okay Do we have any other calls from those particular games that are not the final calls well the fully special About the brain and grandpa we got the brain and grab strip sack. I don't know. We didn't have it You know, we made it we did I don't think so. Okay. Well then the other day Maybe that's it missed two every weekend because right so you know, I doubt it though
Okay, I think you're right and pick six. I My instinct is the five calls are probably from the two sir Bowen's and Maybe the Patrick Robinson Did was the dagger in there Or the Cooper D'Agin picks that's what I mean. There's other plays there's a lot Yeah, I mean if it was me I'm not gonna make this list I just we just reacting every day the Cooper D'Agin pick six is just a way bigger play than the dagger now The calls are calls and some calls could be great even without the huge is play He'll if you had to pick one to be in to be in the top five the dagger or the Cooper D'Agin picks six It's a like cool and that was the play that really started to make the game go one way right like that when When he returned that I was like holy crap They're good they're gonna win the Super Bowl. Yeah, the dagger was cosmetic It might want and it got jail in the MVP Yeah, and he argues that it's a big deal. I mean VMP is a big deal It wasn't that big of a play in the game. I mean a big deal in the Super Bowl the sea ox just let their Super Bowl MVP go I mean that's that's the out of sea house. We we'll cut it we cut it our MEPs do we yes
We let our first Super Bowl MVP go in a year and don't ever bring them up again because the Seattle Seahawks Didn't they all to say he's a he's a stiller He just got there so he wasn't part of the Bad news for you about Jeffrey Laurie by the way he was a patriot No, no, he's maybe he did There was no I think definitely not he's been here for 30 years there was rumors about him wanting to purchase the Boston Seltene say maybe not there were yeah Okay, he want to buy the Selfie we know history he tried to buy the Patriots first and craft got him and then he came got the Eagles Which is I mean that's one of the best things that happened to Eagles right we can be real about it Just being real we're at all work out keeping it a big at all worked out 215 592 90 for now for let's go to Chris in overbook Who wants to talk about the most win game we have Sunday Chris? Hey, you make Joe how to go hey Chris what's up? I was going Joe man actually agree with your name it's about time Chris. It's about time. I know I've been waiting I think we ever see that day color never they tell here. It's a must win. Oh, we need this one
Must win game Must win game first off division game number one. I gotta take care of that number two out of the first five games To me it's very important to win at least three of those five games What you don't want to do in NFL is go two and three? You don't want to put yourself in a predicament like that so to win three out of those first five games is very crucial in NFL and For us they're having to go against Jane and Daniel's first off to me Jane Danes is a paper quarterback paper soft He played flag football in high school He played real football, but I say he was more of a flag football He's not a real quarterback. He's soft. We got to put him in the ground this off twice And we got to take care of business and that direction Jane Daniels to me He's not a quarterback that you will want to be in a huddle with at the end of the game You're not that type of warrior when you look when they talk about
United States and the marinos and the Montana's when you talk to those players that were around in her huddles Jane and hers definitely Definitely Jane hers is better. It's nothing. I'm going down took to a drive to win the game You want to feel like you you want to be somebody behind that as a warrior. That's going to take that like a commander Jane and Daniels is very far from that so we got we got to take care of business When you talk about you know, I just my tenant marino All those players they have a command of the pocket command of the offense to man in the huddle The heart's definitely both in that category. Well, I Listen, I like we're having a good day you and I Chris so we're gonna agree this a must win We are we're having a great day We're gonna agree to must win and and I agree with you that obviously Daniels at this point of his career Not in the same category as Joe Montana or Johnny United's right there's pretty decent quarter But well I Chris good phone guy. I think it's interesting because We're he's coming off a bad year right Daniels was not very good last year. He got hurt
He flashed the year before that more than flashed. I mean guys is probably a nice it was probably the best rookie quarterback season Maybe since since the marino. I mean they got he almost went to the Super Bowl. He got to the NFC championship game Also again Chris and I Chris and I well you got the title game Chris and I are in a good spot today Just want to point out he mentioned he was more of a flag football player in high school with the hell that means I did find J. Daniels high school stats like regular call regular high school football he scored 211 touchdowns in high school 211 touchdowns no Chris isn't exactly known for using logic with his phone calls. Yeah, so we'll be easy on today Yeah, I think it you can say that Daniels isn't great and that's fine But like he obviously has had a good football career guys. He got he won the Heismatrophy. Yeah, but high school football 211 touchdowns. There's some leadership qualities in their somewhere something now that the mom thing is weird and he's been trying to crack that Code for a while no response from his mom No, you're not getting one. She's gonna be here on Sunday. What's definitely is you know, never mind? Are you gonna?
What if she walks up just quickly? What if what if jaden's mom walks past our tent on Sunday for the pregame show? I'm gonna say hey big here. You know, that's the that's the go-to when you slide somebody's down But maybe it's not if she didn't respond. Do you thought of that? No, no Okay, I'm gonna lose all training. Don't be like yo No, that probably ain't good. Yeah, I don't think that's how you talk Is brown did that he in a song here song, please don't model yourself No, no, I'm just saying the song not not not not not no, yeah, but the song Yeah, what a no, it's the anchors Brown In a 40 minutes ban both of those references in ones. You're fault. Thank you. Let's go to Walter and Eastern. What's up, officer? Hey there. How are you good? What's up? I saw a couple things real quick Must win game. I don't think must win. I think that's Hyperbole I'm with you. I think you could lose this game and still win the Super Bowl too We talk a lot about the offense and I get it
It's gonna take a little bit of time and Jalen's all in but he still has to learn the offense and it's radically different than what he's used to But we don't talk enough about the defense until the most recent segment This defense is likely to be the number one defense in the league Right, it's deep and it's covered at all levels. I think the game this Sunday Eagles may not score 21 points, but I do believe That the four skins are not the one Of course any points or very few I still can't do that Can we call them the commanders, but I beat Walter. I you and I see it similarly that what are we the defense is the exciting part of this team Walter, I can't wait to watch Shalex on go sack Jalen Daniels on Sunday. That's what I'm excited for Yeah, it'll be a wonderful thing and it probably will happen multiple times Well, I certainly could with the way their offensive line is Walter. We appreciate the phone call speaking a sack See that that that yeah Roger's interview that he did. I you were just waiting to bring this up
It was that's a perfect thing where I thought he was speaking of sack after the what he called what he called the No, but did you see what Aaron Rogers was talking about his wife? I saw He's not his wife. No, he was his former fiance He said with a straight face in front of it. Did you see the response to the people that were interviewing? Yeah, the faces they made So if you haven't seen it Rodgers was talking about his former fiancee now He he talked about a whole bunch right, but the clear you're talking about the party some as part that stuck out to me and she said But what did she say you you are taking it? She said after they got engaged. He got in get he got a ring Yeah, yeah, and he said like after she got the ring right she said she was going marrying and Two days later. She said hold up. I got to go smash this dude. I was waiting to see how you frame this one I was waiting to see the words you used there No If your fiance told you I threw the bottom ring hey, wait a minute. I love you. I want to marry you, but I'm gonna go ahead and take take oh boy through there
Yeah, I'm out before See ya now as a man like you gotta ask what did you do wrong? Because if you bring in that Yeah, I'm just saying if you're if if you buy your wife or if you buy your fiancee ring and the first thing that she thinks about is smashing somebody else before she made you that you ain't that home boy Well, so she's not the person you should marry here I think that's what I'm saying but but if she if she say yeah, I'm there you but I'm gonna go ahead and see what this like before Yeah, because basically what she saying is I'm gonna have to lay with you for the rest of my life Which I ain't got a problem because you got bread you you you you super cheesy But at the same time let me go ahead and see what this is like so I least have a template to know what I mean I've played with guys that is crazy. I want to be on TV with my Hey cow and he told everybody like He was I heard him. Yeah, I heard he was being victimized. Is anyone else ready for a ride?
Just go home. Yeah, yeah enough. I think yeah, I just somebody like enough would you be surprised? At some point doing the football season Somebody punches them in the face on the field like when they walk off the field and it's somebody just haul off and punch him in the face I'd be kind of surprised. Yeah, I would like I feel I feel like he's gonna happen I feel like he came back upon to the fan in the face. I feel like I feel like I feel like I feel like is a disaster I feel like here Rodgers got right to get punched in the well maybe you know what they have markets on everything I'll check check it with the You know I might sprinkle something you know That's not like a good bad like that because he just he didn't he's gotten reckless. Yeah, he talked bad about the world-wide leader He talked bad about to his teammate called one. I'm done. I'm done. Yeah, I go Ask how she if they could create a market for us. We gonna put that on we're gonna put that on the shame The crowd is on that being fun market all right We'll if you were his teammate would you punch him in the face? You have a history don't forget
