Speaker 1: Hi, everyone welcomed the Eagles threety sixty Dave SPIDERO Joe
Speaker 1: to camera. Eagles getting ready for the Minnesota Vikings. A
Speaker 1: time for everyone to kind of sit back, Joe and say,
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford trade goes to Minnesota's four and always a starter,
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz the starter here. The Eagles have a first
Speaker 1: round pick and a conditional fourth round pick. Who wins
Speaker 1: in the deal, and I know it's only two months later,
Speaker 1: who wins? Well, I think both teams win. I wasn't
Speaker 1: certain at the time that Minnesota would win. I really
Speaker 1: wasn't certain at that I thought they gave up frankly
Speaker 1: too much, and I was shocked the Eagles got as
Speaker 1: much as they got. So I thought it was kind
Speaker 1: of a coup for the Eagles to get that kind
Speaker 1: of value. If mine Soota has the kind of season
Speaker 1: that they've had thus far, and it continues and they're
Speaker 1: a team rattling cages in the playoffs and potentially a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl threat, which as of right now they appear
Speaker 1: to be, then obviously you know it'll be worthwhile from Minnesota.
Speaker 1: But and that's the credit to them, But you know,
Speaker 1: day from an Eagle standpoint. I don't think anyone's doubting
Speaker 1: the trade is because Bradford's four and oh and he's
Speaker 1: been statistically very good. I mean, it's it was certainly
Speaker 1: a trade well worth while to get Carson Wentz on
Speaker 1: the field to get the Eagles value. Eagles, of course,
Speaker 1: have a lot of positions they want to attack for
Speaker 1: future years and those picks will help. And I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any second guests in at all. Yeah, agreed,
Speaker 1: And that's one of the themes of this week. Of course,
Speaker 1: the Vikings coming into Lincoln Financial Field undefeated, the Eagles
Speaker 1: coming in with two straight losses, need to write the
Speaker 1: ship against a very tough team. Doug Peterson met the
Speaker 1: media on this Wednesday and talked about a lot of things.
Speaker 1: We've got the news of the day for you. It's
Speaker 1: our Eagles three sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Smith here with your three sixty update. We
Speaker 1: are one day closer to Sunday's match up with the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, and of course, with the Vikings coming to town,
Speaker 1: that means the number one storyline is the return of
Speaker 1: quarterback Sam Bradford, who spent twenty fifteen here with the
Speaker 1: Eagles today, we heard from head coach Doug Peterson as
Speaker 1: well as from safety Malcolm Jenkins about what the Eagles
Speaker 1: defense can expect on Sunday. From their old friend Bradford,
Speaker 1: I think I think they know that the type of
Speaker 1: athletes that Sam is, the type of quarterback that he is,
Speaker 1: and and you know, it's hard to get to a
Speaker 1: guy like Sam, as I mentioned, because he gets the
Speaker 1: ball out of his hand so fast, and he utilizes
Speaker 1: a quick game, and and it's it's tough to it's
Speaker 1: tough to defend sometimes, you know, from a pass rush standpoint.
Speaker 1: Is the one thing we know all two wells that
Speaker 1: he can sling the ball, especially when he's when he's
Speaker 1: upright and comfortable, he can make all the throws. He's
Speaker 1: savvy enough to look off safeties, he knows how to
Speaker 1: manipulate the coverage with his eyes, and he knows his playbook.
Speaker 1: He knows where his checkdowns and everything are. So he's
Speaker 1: a small, our bright quarterback. And finally, will close things
Speaker 1: out here with an injury update. Four Eagles missing practice
Speaker 1: today at the Novicare Complex. That would be Ron Brooks,
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey, Benny Logan, and Marcus Smith, Leodis mcclevin, however,
Speaker 1: did practice and he says that he feels on track
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. UM, Sunday, it was it was
Speaker 1: at that point they feel feel real good. You know.
Speaker 1: I could have were not there and played. Yeah, most
Speaker 1: definitely could have got there played. But do you want
Speaker 1: to be real one hundred percent or you want to
Speaker 1: go out there and have something lingering over you for
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks and then that's what that's what it
Speaker 1: will say. I mean, I went out there, played prettes
Speaker 1: a day and if anything we're going on wrong, I
Speaker 1: would have I would have came out anything like that.
Speaker 1: But I went out there practice. I practice fully. UM. Anyway,
Speaker 1: good for a complete injury update and to catch all
Speaker 1: of our sound from inside the locker room, stay right
Speaker 1: here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the official Eagles
Speaker 1: Mobile app. Thanks so much, Alex a lot to get
Speaker 1: to on the show today, Joe, we're gonna take a
Speaker 1: look at the Minnesota Vikings. Are first look in depth
Speaker 1: at an unbeaten team that frankly, I'm surprised at how
Speaker 1: good they are. I am too. I thought they'd be
Speaker 1: decent because they were pretty good last year. This level
Speaker 1: I did not expect, and statistically they're a monster right now.
Speaker 1: They have really checked a lot of boxes this season.
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive. Yeah, particularly on the defensive side. They're coming
Speaker 1: off a bye. They are healthy, they are formidable. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that in a bit, but when we return
Speaker 1: the Eagles three sixty middle linebacker Jordan Hicks. The defense
Speaker 1: smarting after an effort last week against Washington two hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty yards allowed on the ground, four hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety three total net yards allowed by the defense. What

Speaker 1: We've got middle linebacker Jordan Hickson studio here on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot Com as the defense looks to bounce back
Speaker 1: after the game against Washington. Jordan, we're back on the
Speaker 1: practice steal here. It's Wednesday. What have you seen all week?
Speaker 1: Kind of looking at that game and putting it into
Speaker 1: the review mirror. Yeah, and That's exactly what we have
Speaker 1: to do is put it in the review mirror, because
Speaker 1: we have a really good opponent coming into our house,
Speaker 1: you know, and haven't they haven't lost yet, and they're
Speaker 1: they're playing some good ball. So we we've got to
Speaker 1: look forward. We've got to move past it, we've got
Speaker 1: to learn from it, and you know, you've got to
Speaker 1: take the mistakes and apply it to what we can
Speaker 1: do this week. But ultimately you have to look forward,
Speaker 1: keep your confidence, keep your swag, and just to do
Speaker 1: everything to the best of your ability and get back
Speaker 1: to the basics. What do you think happened on Sunday?
Speaker 1: I think it was the complete opposite of what I
Speaker 1: just said. You know, it was it was the fact
Speaker 1: that we didn't lean on our on the basics. You know,
Speaker 1: we try to do too much. We weren't disciplined in
Speaker 1: our run fits. And once you once you you know,
Speaker 1: once the offense get the run the run game going
Speaker 1: and they get that element working for them, you know,
Speaker 1: that's where the momentum happens. And uh, when they can
Speaker 1: run the ball, they can also throw the ball. You know,
Speaker 1: we weren't able to make them one dimension, which we
Speaker 1: were able to do so well in the first three games.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's more on the players or the
Speaker 1: coaches or is it a combination of everybody making adjustments.
Speaker 1: From players perspective, I always take the blame. Um. I
Speaker 1: always think players are out there executing. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: I trust in in our coaches. I trust in the
Speaker 1: fact that they're putting us in the best position to
Speaker 1: to make plays. UM. And you know, then it's on us.
Speaker 1: You know, we're the ones out there and making the calls.
Speaker 1: We're the ones out there, UM executing and and and
Speaker 1: being physical and fitting the gaps right and covering guys,
Speaker 1: and you know it's on us to actually perform the
Speaker 1: game plan. It's really a remarkable game, Jordan, the game
Speaker 1: of football. And I mean fans don't understand it. You
Speaker 1: guys have the benefit of playing understanding what your assignments
Speaker 1: are every play that you can look so dominant for
Speaker 1: three weeks and then just kind of here and their
Speaker 1: adjustments are made or tackles, misters, and then it kind
Speaker 1: of can go the other way on you, right, Is
Speaker 1: it frustrating? It is? It is, especially when you know
Speaker 1: you have a defense that is very dominant. When you're
Speaker 1: not shooting yourself in the foot. And I think we've
Speaker 1: done that. I think we've proven we who we can be.
Speaker 1: We've just got to get back to it and what
Speaker 1: is that? What is that entail? And entails, like I said,
Speaker 1: getting back to the basics, leaning on each other, because
Speaker 1: when we lean on each other and we're all playing
Speaker 1: as a unit, there's hardly anybody that can that can
Speaker 1: move the ball on us. What happens after games lay
Speaker 1: that in the ensuing days. Guys meet a lot together,
Speaker 1: huddle up together, team meetings, leaders step up. What kind
Speaker 1: of stuff goes on. Yeah, I think there's there's a
Speaker 1: fine line between going too far and panicking because it
Speaker 1: is ultimately only game five, It's two losses in the season.
Speaker 1: It's a long season. Um, but yeah, some things have
Speaker 1: to have to be done and things have to be said,
Speaker 1: and um, you have to take it for what it is.
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be tough to come back here the
Speaker 1: day after and see the film and watch the film
Speaker 1: and critique yourself honestly, because if you are being honest,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bad football on the field. Um,
Speaker 1: So you know it is what it is, and you
Speaker 1: you know you take it as a man and you
Speaker 1: move forward. Yes, we are moving forward here. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about your position and and you on the
Speaker 1: field after missing last year half of last year, how
Speaker 1: are you feeling, Jordan in the position in the new defense?
Speaker 1: Feel healthy? Then that's I think for me that's key. Um.
Speaker 1: Yeah they're knocking out UM. But yeah, no, I do.
Speaker 1: I do, and and feel confident and where I'm at
Speaker 1: physically mentally and you know, right back to where I
Speaker 1: feel like I picked up, you know, coming into OTAs
Speaker 1: and and just hit the ball rolling. You know, I
Speaker 1: like this defense. It's a lot. I like the guys
Speaker 1: that we have, UM, and it's a special group. We
Speaker 1: just you know, it's just pointing the performance as we've played,
Speaker 1: but we're put on the field the past two games.
Speaker 1: But again moving forward, UM, and a lot of confidence
Speaker 1: and the guys we have. How good will it be
Speaker 1: to get back home and hear the crowd and have
Speaker 1: the offense dealing with the crowd noise? Yeah, no, it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna be awesome. There's nothing like playing on the link,
Speaker 1: especially you know verse an opponent like this and the
Speaker 1: circumstances like this. UM, you know it's I'm I was
Speaker 1: thinking about it all this this whole week. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to get back in the link and
Speaker 1: just hear the crowd rocking. What is the Vikings offense? Like?
Speaker 1: I mean, they lose they're both backup tackles. They lose
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson there, they trade for Sam and they're still rolling.
Speaker 1: They're still rolling, and uh, they've done a good job
Speaker 1: putting the pieces together and guys stepping up and making plays. Um,
Speaker 1: it's you know they're there. You look at their team,
Speaker 1: there's they're a really good team. You know, they do
Speaker 1: what they need to do on offense, defense and special
Speaker 1: teams to get the job done. And those are the
Speaker 1: guys that those type of teams are the successful ones
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So, you know, we've got a big
Speaker 1: task ahead of us, but it's nothing I don't think
Speaker 1: we can handle. You know, I know fans can't wait
Speaker 1: from one Sunday after a tough game to get to
Speaker 1: the next Sunday. They want the game to be there
Speaker 1: Like that is that the way you are exactly, especially
Speaker 1: after a game like this, you know where you feel
Speaker 1: like you have so much to prove and you know
Speaker 1: it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and nobody
Speaker 1: wants to keep that taste in their mouth. Well, let's
Speaker 1: have a good week of practice and go get them
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Jordan Hicks, thanks so much. You're joining us

Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty Dave Spendero Joe to camera. Before we
Speaker 1: talk about the vikings, let's take a look at the
Speaker 1: Eagles upcoming schedule pretended by NFL Ticket Exchange. Howard buy
Speaker 1: Ticketmaster were the only one verified way to buy or
Speaker 1: sell NFL tickets visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. The
Speaker 1: Eagles sitting at three and two after two consecutive losses
Speaker 1: following the bye week, and Joe, as we look at
Speaker 1: the schedule ahead, it's really really hard, really hard. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's really fun. That's good. Give it an extra really
Speaker 1: really really really hard. You look at this schedule. Okay,
Speaker 1: So first off, you go back in sad Man. That
Speaker 1: line's game. That's a tough one because of what's up ahead.
Speaker 1: You wish Eagles could have grabbed one of the last two.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. So now up ahead, some
Speaker 1: serious work the Eagles have to do. And as you know,
Speaker 1: as we look, I mean, we know it starts with
Speaker 1: this game here versus Minnesota, and of course you know
Speaker 1: the Dallas game on the horizon. You see a lot
Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks here. You see you know, Matt Ryan's
Speaker 1: gonna be against the Eagles, Russell Wilson, of course, Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. We know the divisions playing above average from
Speaker 1: an expectation standpoint, the out of division games are tough.
Speaker 1: So the bottom line, Davis, the Eagles have their work
Speaker 1: cut out for them. They're in a tough division right now,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to put in some serious work
Speaker 1: to you know, to make the playoffs. So it's good stuff.
Speaker 1: And first up the Minnesota Vikings five and oh coming
Speaker 1: off the bye week. Our first look at the opponent
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We begin, of course at the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford. It's just so weird to save it. Sam Bradford,
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. Carson Wentz one thing
Speaker 1: in common here, Joe. Both quarterbacks very stingy, and that's
Speaker 1: a good thing giving the football away. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: And you hope that Jim Schwartz and the defense can
Speaker 1: get after Bradford this week and change that because to
Speaker 1: his point, this year, Minnesota has not offensively turned over
Speaker 1: the ball one time. That's really impressive. And with what
Speaker 1: their defense is doing creating turnovers, you know, the turnover
Speaker 1: differential for them has been unbelievable. Look, Minnesota is a
Speaker 1: problem now offensively, not as much as defensively. So you
Speaker 1: hope the Eagles can create something here against Bradford. We
Speaker 1: know Bradford can pass the ball, he can be very accurate.
Speaker 1: He's also not the most mobile quarterback. We all know that.
Speaker 1: So you hope to get him off his spot back
Speaker 1: there in the pocket. Davis, we know, and you want
Speaker 1: to see, you know, Fletcher Cox and the the players
Speaker 1: from the defensive line get after the quarterback more than
Speaker 1: last week and try to do that. But to this
Speaker 1: point this year, Sam Bradford the most accurate of all
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in football, with that completion percentage leading the NFL.
Speaker 1: The Vikings thirtieth in the league in yards per play
Speaker 1: per game. So there is not a lot of explosives,
Speaker 1: particularly here as we look at the running backs. Not
Speaker 1: much going on with the Viking says they've lost Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson and they are struggling running the football. They've been
Speaker 1: efficient in many areas. So we say it like we
Speaker 1: said it last week. Washington went into that game averaging
Speaker 1: eighty five yards per game on the ground. The Vikings
Speaker 1: struggling on the ground. Can the Eagles dominate at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and then conversely, can they run the
Speaker 1: football against are really good, really really good Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: Whole question about it. Let's go inside some of the
Speaker 1: numbers day because they stand out and boil boy, this
Speaker 1: is this is where the Eagles really have some issues Minnesota.
Speaker 1: First and points allowed in the NFL at only twelve
Speaker 1: point six yards per game. Second in yards allowed two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven points a game, tied for the
Speaker 1: most takeaways. They've got four different players with three or
Speaker 1: more sacks so far this year, including the emerging Danielle Hunter,
Speaker 1: now in a second season, really playing some good football
Speaker 1: in the defensive line. They had eight sacks versus Cam
Speaker 1: Newton week three. They lead the league in first down
Speaker 1: efficiency defensively, giving up only three point five yards per play. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, Carson Wentz, they want to see the Eagles
Speaker 1: get into some manageable second and third downs, not the
Speaker 1: second and third and longs. Minnesota has done a great
Speaker 1: job with that. They're fourth against the run defensively, they're
Speaker 1: sixth against the past defensively. They have simply been an
Speaker 1: awesome defense so far. So it poses a great challenge
Speaker 1: for Carson Wentz, the offensive line, the receivers, running backs,
Speaker 1: the tight ends in this game for the Eagles. In
Speaker 1: five games, these forced twelve takeaways, twelve turnovers, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of the whole idea here for the Philadelphiagles. We've
Speaker 1: talked about this, don't turn the football over, convert on
Speaker 1: third downs, and minimize the penalties, and Eagles have not
Speaker 1: done any of that offensively in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Here wide receivers Jordan Matthews having a good season for
Speaker 1: the Eagles. He's a he's not a down the field
Speaker 1: thread of though, he had a big play against the Redskins.
Speaker 1: Solter Stephan Diggs has been battling some injuries, but you
Speaker 1: see twenty five catches nearly fifteen yards of catch. He's
Speaker 1: the go to player in the past game along with
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolf their tight end. Yeah, look, they got they
Speaker 1: got some players that are you know, they're okay, but
Speaker 1: you can look at again, this is about a pressure
Speaker 1: on Bradford. Now, he showed tremendous physical toughness and I
Speaker 1: guess you know, call it mental toughness hanging in the
Speaker 1: pocket versus a Green Bay in that game earlier in
Speaker 1: the season. So he's you know, he's showing more of that,
Speaker 1: I think than he did, especially early last year with
Speaker 1: the Eagles. But you want to get after him because
Speaker 1: his weapons, while okay, they're not great. And I think
Speaker 1: that's the opportunity, Dave, if they can get to brad
Speaker 1: It's look, I think it's all been imperative and the
Speaker 1: Vikings have backups at both tackle positions. The defensive line
Speaker 1: angry after the performance last week. No sacks in Washington.
Speaker 1: That's just something that Jim Schwarz's defense don't do. And
Speaker 1: for this defense to be outstanding, the front four minus
Speaker 1: the blitz has to win the battle. Eagles may not
Speaker 1: have Benny Logan this week, so that's going to be
Speaker 1: a setback for Wettles. And also the Eagles have got
Speaker 1: to tackle better. Linebackers, corners, and safeties clearly missed tackles
Speaker 1: versus Washington and that was a real, real problem in
Speaker 1: the game, and that's a huge part of how Washington
Speaker 1: had so many yards. Obviously running interested to see what
Speaker 1: what Doug and Frank Reich do. I expect a quick
Speaker 1: passing game third down, keep it manageable, keep the chains moving,
Speaker 1: matriculate the ball up the field. But it could be
Speaker 1: a low scoring game. Say up the field, I say
Speaker 1: down the field. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's right,
Speaker 1: Maybe you're right out. It feels like it's been uphill
Speaker 1: for the Eagles offense the last couple of weeks at least.
Speaker 1: All right, that's our first look at the unbeaten Minnesota
Speaker 1: Vikings one o'clock kick off at Lincoln Financial Field, the
Speaker 1: breast cancer campaign game for the Eagles in South Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: We've got more to get to here on Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: including a look back at a memorable moment in this
Speaker 1: Eagles Vikings rivalry, Brian Westbrook zigging and zagging as the
Speaker 1: Eagles marched to the NFC Championship game. Their legend is legendary.

Speaker 1: a look at our old school All twenty two. Merrill
Speaker 1: Reese Mike Quick, Eagles and the Vikings two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: I ever won a Merrill Reese Welcome to Old School
Speaker 1: All twenty two. A unique look at an Eagles play
Speaker 1: or moment or game for the eyes of coaching staff
Speaker 1: tape where you see all twenty two players Mike. This
Speaker 1: week the Eagles played the Minnesota Vikings. Let's focus on
Speaker 1: an Eagles playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings January fourth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. Vikings quarterback by Tavaris Jackson and
Speaker 1: Eagles broke close in the person of number thirty six
Speaker 1: Bran Westbrook. I know you always enjoy calling those Westbrook plays,
Speaker 1: but this one was a real dandy. Westbrook had this
Speaker 1: knack for the screen pass and able to hide behind
Speaker 1: those big guys. Because he's not a tall guy, He's
Speaker 1: able to hide behind those big guys. But with that
Speaker 1: birth and that speed, get out into the open and
Speaker 1: make big plays on the screen pass. Let me show
Speaker 1: you one of them. With just over six minutes left
Speaker 1: in the game and the Eagles up by two at
Speaker 1: their own twenty nine yard line, the Eagles lined up
Speaker 1: in the I formation with Brian Westbrook in the backfield.
Speaker 1: McNab would take the snap and after a play action fake,
Speaker 1: he dropped back to allow the screenplay to set up.
Speaker 1: Correll Buckholder would step up to block the mic linebacker,
Speaker 1: while center Jamal Jackson would block the safety and getting
Speaker 1: help from Nick Cove along the way, watch as Westbrook's
Speaker 1: vision in the open field allows him to cut back
Speaker 1: against the grain, and with help from blocks from Todd
Speaker 1: Harriman's to Sean Jackson and Jason Vaughan, he was able
Speaker 1: to sprint the rest of the way for seventy one
Speaker 1: yard touchdown to put the Eagles ahead for good. This
Speaker 1: win helped the Vault Eagles to the next round to
Speaker 1: take on the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants,
Speaker 1: and it may not have happened without a huge play
Speaker 1: from number thirty six Eagles gave to Varus Jackson trouble
Speaker 1: from the first moment of that game. But what I
Speaker 1: remember is with that win and that play by Brian Westbrook,
Speaker 1: it gave them tremendous momentum to go on the following
Speaker 1: week and beat the Giants and actually get to the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game. I think, out of all of the
Speaker 1: plays in Brian Westbrook's career, and we've seen many of them,
Speaker 1: that is in my top three. I still believe the
Speaker 1: one in the meadowlands down the left side line, and
Speaker 1: you know, the one the Hunt return, I think that
Speaker 1: stands out is number one for me, but that one
Speaker 1: is certainly in the top list. Great player, great man,
Speaker 1: Thank you Meryll, Thank you Mike Joe. We saw a
Speaker 1: screen pass to a running back touchdown we saw against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Carson wentz By some time, gets the ball to Darren Sprowls.
Speaker 1: He goes down the field for a touchdown. Getting the
Speaker 1: ball to Sprowls in the short passing game really seems
Speaker 1: important for this offense a huge I mean Sprowles. Look,
Speaker 1: I still think on a play that Darren Sprowls is
Speaker 1: in the game, which he's not going to be in
Speaker 1: there all the time, but on a play he's in there.
Speaker 1: I still think he's the best threat to Eagles have
Speaker 1: offensively that Carson Wentz can get the ball too. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean he's got that now. He's always been a
Speaker 1: smaller back. That's not changing, and so he's not gonna
Speaker 1: be out there and have you know, twenty carries and
Speaker 1: ten catches and all that. But when they can get
Speaker 1: him involve Dave. There's no question he's a dynamic player.
Speaker 1: And even at the age he is, he still brings it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, getting him going is really important. And the
Speaker 1: difficult part is that defenses know that, so they cover
Speaker 1: sprowls in this week. Eric Kendricks, the brother of Eagles
Speaker 1: linebacker Michael Kendricks, and the parents will be in the stands.
Speaker 1: So who they're rooting for, I don't know. We're rooting
Speaker 1: for Darren Sproles to bust one. Get this offense early,
Speaker 1: get it going early. All right, one more segment to
Speaker 1: go here on Eagles three sixty. We've got more to
Speaker 1: get to stay with us on Eagles three sixty. This

Speaker 1: to camera. Let's get you tuned in with what we've
Speaker 1: got coming up on Eagles three sixty. Are Amrosso's on

Speaker 1: meeting the media, and that's something that is interesting to
Speaker 1: everybody because Jim Schwarz did not talk to the media,
Speaker 1: does not talk to the media after games. What has
Speaker 1: he been thinking all week? You know? Yeah, you wonder right,
Speaker 1: And we go behind enemy Allians to find out more
Speaker 1: about the Minnesota Vikings coming off third bye week, coming
Speaker 1: into Philadelphia at five and Oh, Amirosos the reason Philly
Speaker 1: sandwiches are so famous, Joe. The key to beating the
Speaker 1: Vikings as we sit here on this Wednesday, defense has
Speaker 1: to play better. I still believe, even early in the
Speaker 1: season when the offense was playing well, that the Eagles
Speaker 1: are at their core at this stage a defensive and
Speaker 1: special teams oriented team. I believe that, and last week
Speaker 1: the defense let the Eagles down, so I think that's
Speaker 1: the main thing they've got to re establish that. I'm
Speaker 1: confident Carson Wentz can still totally do his thing. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the offensive line's got to play better in all of that,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to start with the defense. I think
Speaker 1: it's the bread and butter the Eagles sair enough, Jodi Camera,
Speaker 1: David Spadaro, thanks for joining us on Eagles three sixty.
Speaker 1: I'm back tomorrow with Glenn mcnow. Joe is in on Friday.
Speaker 1: Until then, have yourself over right. Eagles did
