i im -- it's not a panic move or anything like that but make sure everybody is doing things right, do their jobs. do their assignments and good things are going to happen. >> when he was pressed on it later he came back, did everybody go all out and he said no. not really. >> these are tough times. eagles have seven losses in the last nine games. i don't question the effort. i question the energy. i question the urgency and the desperation. you have to play desperate football. for whatever reason they went into cincinnati feeling they could take control of the game against a team that didn't have green and their best running back but it didn't happen. so a rocokie head coach needs t get maximum urgency.

we know the receivers are not creating as much separation as we would like to see. it is a tough time for carson. he never experienced this but i like this way he carries himself on a daily basis. i can tell you internally while everyone is questioning the mechanics, i know one coach said to me he has never seen a quarterback at this stage of his career that he has worked with -- and he worked with great ones, who is as far advanced. we just don't see the results right now. >> i think in the long run he will be okay. let's talk about the effect of this losing streak and how it will effect doug peterson. i maintain that 12 games is too small still but the effects of how the players play, they go out there and they get blown out this week and the week after it's not going to go well.
