How Lane Johnson’s Retirement Will Affect the Eagles and More Questions for Week 5

PelisseroEverybody's got to play better, but you got one chance to do this. And rather than sitting for 10 days and wondering who's going to get fired and we're all in five, what do we do now?

PelisseroGet the win on the short week, get to one and four, just kind of like the Patriots in Buffalo last week, where it's a huge exhale. If you can just find a way, as unlikely as it seems, regardless of a line, just find a way to get a win.

KapadiaIt does take time to learn your personnel and figure it out, but that's a break of getting to face them here in week five. And so it's a short week. Your quarterback, like you said, can make those second reaction plays. I think there's a chance they could move the football a little bit and keep this one close.

It feels like a lot of eggs in the basket if he's going to help fix a lot of things and get Duran Bland in a different role on this defense, and it's going to fix things for this defense. You know, they got him in there right away last week.

KapadiaWe'll see how many snaps he plays this week. They just need that defense to be average. I say you've heard me say it a million times because that offense is cooking. I mean, they looked unbelievable last week. They're one of the best offenses in the NFL. Their left tackle, Tyler Guyton, is kind of one of these making the leap type guys.

KapadiaIt feels like this year where he's playing really good football for them.
