Long explained that the Patriots’ half-time adjustments were just so good, that they ended up putting another score on top of that. Smith joked that he thought the Eagles’ defense would actually shut them out, but Long had them pegged for about 24 points. “We didn’t fear them at all, we knew we were going to be able to score points.” The wide receiver said that going into the matchup against the Patriots, he thought they were going to be able to score a lot and that Tom Brady and New England’s offense would be what kept them in the game.

Y’all act like it was a guaranteed score.

The DE said at this point he and the Eagles weren’t really on each others radars, but that was a free agency cycle where a bunch of talent landed in Philly. Long then jumped in and said that he and Smith spoke before they both signed with the Eagles, and the receiver encouraged him to talk to Joe Douglas, as well. “I literally passed up the opportunity to go back to Baltimore to go to Philadelphia.” He said it was also an opportunity to be closer to his wife’s family. And I felt like they had the better opportunity.” Even though the record may come off a little differently, you know what it’s like when you look at a roster and you’re like, ‘Man, they’re a few pieces away’.
