WEBVTT - Eagles 360: October 19 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:26.640 Hi, everyone welcomed the Eagles threety sixty Dave SPIDERO Joe 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.560 to camera. Eagles getting ready for the Minnesota Vikings. A 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.800 time for everyone to kind of sit back, Joe and say, 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.200 Sam Bradford trade goes to Minnesota's four and always a starter, 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.440 Carson Wentz the starter here. The Eagles have a first 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.320 round pick and a conditional fourth round pick. Who wins 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.279 in the deal, and I know it's only two months later, 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:48.960 who wins? Well, I think both teams win. I wasn't 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.400 certain at the time that Minnesota would win. I really 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.240 wasn't certain at that I thought they gave up frankly 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.440 too much, and I was shocked the Eagles got as 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:56.800 much as they got. So I thought it was kind 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.160 of a coup for the Eagles to get that kind 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.200 of value. If mine Soota has the kind of season 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.360 that they've had thus far, and it continues and they're 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.200 a team rattling cages in the playoffs and potentially a 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.400 Super Bowl threat, which as of right now they appear 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.000 to be, then obviously you know it'll be worthwhile from Minnesota. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.800 But and that's the credit to them, But you know, 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.240 day from an Eagle standpoint. I don't think anyone's doubting 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.800 the trade is because Bradford's four and oh and he's 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.520 been statistically very good. I mean, it's it was certainly 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.520 a trade well worth while to get Carson Wentz on 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.600 the field to get the Eagles value. Eagles, of course, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.200 have a lot of positions they want to attack for 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.480 future years and those picks will help. And I don't 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.680 think there's any second guests in at all. Yeah, agreed, 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.720 And that's one of the themes of this week. Of course, 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.440 the Vikings coming into Lincoln Financial Field undefeated, the Eagles 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.280 coming in with two straight losses, need to write the 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.520 ship against a very tough team. Doug Peterson met the 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.520 media on this Wednesday and talked about a lot of things. 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.120 We've got the news of the day for you. It's 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:58.400 our Eagles three sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.280 I'm Alex Smith here with your three sixty update. We 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.640 are one day closer to Sunday's match up with the 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.680 Minnesota Vikings, and of course, with the Vikings coming to town, 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.680 that means the number one storyline is the return of 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.560 quarterback Sam Bradford, who spent twenty fifteen here with the 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.160 Eagles today, we heard from head coach Doug Peterson as 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.240 well as from safety Malcolm Jenkins about what the Eagles 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.680 defense can expect on Sunday. From their old friend Bradford, 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.440 I think I think they know that the type of 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.640 athletes that Sam is, the type of quarterback that he is, 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.280 and and you know, it's hard to get to a 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.239 guy like Sam, as I mentioned, because he gets the 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.600 ball out of his hand so fast, and he utilizes 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.320 a quick game, and and it's it's tough to it's 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.960 tough to defend sometimes, you know, from a pass rush standpoint. 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.600 Is the one thing we know all two wells that 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.640 he can sling the ball, especially when he's when he's 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:51.200 upright and comfortable, he can make all the throws. He's 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.800 savvy enough to look off safeties, he knows how to 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.480 manipulate the coverage with his eyes, and he knows his playbook. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.720 He knows where his checkdowns and everything are. So he's 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.359 a small, our bright quarterback. And finally, will close things 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.240 out here with an injury update. Four Eagles missing practice 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.880 today at the Novicare Complex. That would be Ron Brooks, 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.560 Jason Kelsey, Benny Logan, and Marcus Smith, Leodis mcclevin, however, 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.359 did practice and he says that he feels on track 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.639 to play on Sunday. UM, Sunday, it was it was 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.280 at that point they feel feel real good. You know. 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.680 I could have were not there and played. Yeah, most 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.160 definitely could have got there played. But do you want 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.799 to be real one hundred percent or you want to 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.240 go out there and have something lingering over you for 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:32.840 weeks and weeks and then that's what that's what it 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.640 will say. I mean, I went out there, played prettes 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.800 a day and if anything we're going on wrong, I 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.240 would have I would have came out anything like that. 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.400 But I went out there practice. I practice fully. UM. Anyway, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.200 good for a complete injury update and to catch all 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.960 of our sound from inside the locker room, stay right 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.320 here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the official Eagles 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.600 Mobile app. Thanks so much, Alex a lot to get 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.960 to on the show today, Joe, we're gonna take a 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.400 look at the Minnesota Vikings. Are first look in depth 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.040 at an unbeaten team that frankly, I'm surprised at how 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.360 good they are. I am too. I thought they'd be 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.720 decent because they were pretty good last year. This level 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.400 I did not expect, and statistically they're a monster right now. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.920 They have really checked a lot of boxes this season. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.440 Pretty impressive. Yeah, particularly on the defensive side. They're coming 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.760 off a bye. They are healthy, they are formidable. We'll 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.360 talk about that in a bit, but when we return 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.080 the Eagles three sixty middle linebacker Jordan Hicks. The defense 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.679 smarting after an effort last week against Washington two hundred 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.880 and thirty yards allowed on the ground, four hundred and 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.880 ninety three total net yards allowed by the defense. What 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.280 is the mood of the defense? Will find out Jordan 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:47.240 Hickson Studio. Next, I sept to Philly.

Jordan, we're back on the 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.600 practice steal here. It's Wednesday. What have you seen all week? 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.120 Kind of looking at that game and putting it into 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.400 the review mirror. Yeah, and That's exactly what we have 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.440 to do is put it in the review mirror, because 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.839 we have a really good opponent coming into our house, 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.279 you know, and haven't they haven't lost yet, and they're 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.159 they're playing some good ball. So we we've got to 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.200 look forward. We've got to move past it, we've got 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.160 to learn from it, and you know, you've got to 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.880 take the mistakes and apply it to what we can 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.599 do this week. But ultimately you have to look forward, 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.440 keep your confidence, keep your swag, and just to do 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.240 everything to the best of your ability and get back 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.159 to the basics. What do you think happened on Sunday? 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.440 I think it was the complete opposite of what I 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.320 just said. You know, it was it was the fact 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.120 that we didn't lean on our on the basics. You know, 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.680 we try to do too much. We weren't disciplined in 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.120 our run fits. And once you once you you know, 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.360 once the offense get the run the run game going 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.800 and they get that element working for them, you know, 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.720 that's where the momentum happens. And uh, when they can 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.560 run the ball, they can also throw the ball. You know, 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.440 we weren't able to make them one dimension, which we 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.680 were able to do so well in the first three games. 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.760 Do you think it's more on the players or the 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.720 coaches or is it a combination of everybody making adjustments. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.080 From players perspective, I always take the blame. Um. I 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.400 always think players are out there executing. UM. You know, 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.640 I trust in in our coaches. I trust in the 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.600 fact that they're putting us in the best position to 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.160 to make plays. UM. And you know, then it's on us. 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.280 You know, we're the ones out there and making the calls. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.520 We're the ones out there, UM executing and and and 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.720 being physical and fitting the gaps right and covering guys, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.960 and you know it's on us to actually perform the 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.400 game plan. It's really a remarkable game, Jordan, the game 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.440 of football. And I mean fans don't understand it. You 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.640 guys have the benefit of playing understanding what your assignments 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.920 are every play that you can look so dominant for 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.920 three weeks and then just kind of here and their 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.720 adjustments are made or tackles, misters, and then it kind 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.840 of can go the other way on you, right, Is 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.920 it frustrating? It is? It is, especially when you know 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.000 you have a defense that is very dominant. When you're 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.840 not shooting yourself in the foot. And I think we've 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.360 done that. I think we've proven we who we can be. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.440 We've just got to get back to it and what 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.760 is that? What is that entail? And entails, like I said, 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.640 getting back to the basics, leaning on each other, because 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.360 when we lean on each other and we're all playing 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.920 as a unit, there's hardly anybody that can that can 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.000 move the ball on us. What happens after games lay 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.480 that in the ensuing days. Guys meet a lot together, 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.679 huddle up together, team meetings, leaders step up. What kind 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.400 of stuff goes on. Yeah, I think there's there's a 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.240 fine line between going too far and panicking because it 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.400 is ultimately only game five, It's two losses in the season. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.080 It's a long season. Um, but yeah, some things have 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.000 to have to be done and things have to be said, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.719 and um, you have to take it for what it is. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.400 And it's gonna be tough to come back here the 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.480 day after and see the film and watch the film 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.320 and critique yourself honestly, because if you are being honest, 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.880 there's a lot of bad football on the field. Um, 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.440 So you know it is what it is, and you 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:29.640 you know you take it as a man and you 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.439 move forward. Yes, we are moving forward here. I want 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.560 to talk about your position and and you on the 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.160 field after missing last year half of last year, how 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.640 are you feeling, Jordan in the position in the new defense? 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.040 Feel healthy? Then that's I think for me that's key. Um. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.160 Yeah they're knocking out UM. But yeah, no, I do. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.560 I do, and and feel confident and where I'm at 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.240 physically mentally and you know, right back to where I 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.360 feel like I picked up, you know, coming into OTAs 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.360 and and just hit the ball rolling. You know, I 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.240 like this defense. It's a lot. I like the guys 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.920 that we have, UM, and it's a special group. We 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.400 just you know, it's just pointing the performance as we've played, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.400 but we're put on the field the past two games. 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.040 But again moving forward, UM, and a lot of confidence 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:14.600 and the guys we have. How good will it be 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.720 to get back home and hear the crowd and have 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.240 the offense dealing with the crowd noise? Yeah, no, it's 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.280 it's gonna be awesome. There's nothing like playing on the link, 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.400 especially you know verse an opponent like this and the 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:30.360 circumstances like this. UM, you know it's I'm I was 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.319 thinking about it all this this whole week. I was like, man, 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.920 I cannot wait to get back in the link and 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.760 just hear the crowd rocking. What is the Vikings offense? Like? 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.160 I mean, they lose they're both backup tackles. They lose 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.520 Adrian Peterson there, they trade for Sam and they're still rolling. 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.959 They're still rolling, and uh, they've done a good job 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.880 putting the pieces together and guys stepping up and making plays. Um, 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.920 it's you know they're there. You look at their team, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.679 there's they're a really good team. You know, they do 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.800 what they need to do on offense, defense and special 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.160 teams to get the job done. And those are the 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.559 guys that those type of teams are the successful ones 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.360 in the NFL. So, you know, we've got a big 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.520 task ahead of us, but it's nothing I don't think 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.600 we can handle.

Before we 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.079 talk about the vikings, let's take a look at the 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.560 Eagles upcoming schedule pretended by NFL Ticket Exchange. Howard buy 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.599 Ticketmaster were the only one verified way to buy or 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:46.800 sell NFL tickets visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. The 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.920 Eagles sitting at three and two after two consecutive losses 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.440 following the bye week, and Joe, as we look at 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.559 the schedule ahead, it's really really hard, really hard. Yes, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.199 it's really fun. That's good. Give it an extra really 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.839 really really really hard. You look at this schedule. Okay, 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.160 So first off, you go back in sad Man. That 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.200 line's game. That's a tough one because of what's up ahead. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.920 You wish Eagles could have grabbed one of the last two. 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.920 It is what it is. So now up ahead, some 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.040 serious work the Eagles have to do. And as you know, 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.520 as we look, I mean, we know it starts with 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.360 this game here versus Minnesota, and of course you know 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.200 the Dallas game on the horizon. You see a lot 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.520 of good quarterbacks here. You see you know, Matt Ryan's 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.520 gonna be against the Eagles, Russell Wilson, of course, Aaron Rodgers, 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.120 Andy Dalton. We know the divisions playing above average from 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.800 an expectation standpoint, the out of division games are tough. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.200 So the bottom line, Davis, the Eagles have their work 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.880 cut out for them. They're in a tough division right now, 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.960 and they're gonna have to put in some serious work 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.040 to you know, to make the playoffs. So it's good stuff. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.360 And first up the Minnesota Vikings five and oh coming 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.440 off the bye week. Our first look at the opponent 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.440 on Sunday. We begin, of course at the quarterback position. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.680 Sam Bradford. It's just so weird to save it. Sam Bradford, 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.440 the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. Carson Wentz one thing 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:01.520 in common here, Joe. Both quarterbacks very stingy, and that's 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.640 a good thing giving the football away. Yeah it is. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.320 And you hope that Jim Schwartz and the defense can 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.720 get after Bradford this week and change that because to 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.240 his point, this year, Minnesota has not offensively turned over 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.480 the ball one time. That's really impressive. And with what 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.280 their defense is doing creating turnovers, you know, the turnover 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.800 differential for them has been unbelievable. Look, Minnesota is a 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.320 problem now offensively, not as much as defensively. So you 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.000 hope the Eagles can create something here against Bradford. We 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.640 know Bradford can pass the ball, he can be very accurate. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.960 He's also not the most mobile quarterback. We all know that. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.160 So you hope to get him off his spot back 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.840 there in the pocket. Davis, we know, and you want 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.160 to see, you know, Fletcher Cox and the the players 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.280 from the defensive line get after the quarterback more than 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.160 last week and try to do that. But to this 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.720 point this year, Sam Bradford the most accurate of all 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.760 quarterbacks in football, with that completion percentage leading the NFL. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.640 The Vikings thirtieth in the league in yards per play 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.320 per game. So there is not a lot of explosives, 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.560 particularly here as we look at the running backs. Not 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.800 much going on with the Viking says they've lost Adrian 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.640 Peterson and they are struggling running the football. They've been 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.920 efficient in many areas. So we say it like we 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.280 said it last week. Washington went into that game averaging 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.760 eighty five yards per game on the ground. The Vikings 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.040 struggling on the ground. Can the Eagles dominate at the 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.760 line of scrimmage and then conversely, can they run the 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:22.160 football against are really good, really really good Minnesota Vikings. 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:23.960 Whole question about it. Let's go inside some of the 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.360 numbers day because they stand out and boil boy, this 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.720 is this is where the Eagles really have some issues Minnesota. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.520 First and points allowed in the NFL at only twelve 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.800 point six yards per game. Second in yards allowed two 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.160 hundred and eighty seven points a game, tied for the 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.040 most takeaways. They've got four different players with three or 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.600 more sacks so far this year, including the emerging Danielle Hunter, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.280 now in a second season, really playing some good football 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.720 in the defensive line. They had eight sacks versus Cam 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.320 Newton week three. They lead the league in first down 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:56.440 efficiency defensively, giving up only three point five yards per play. Obviously, 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.680 Doug Peterson, Carson Wentz, they want to see the Eagles 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.840 get into some manageable second and third downs, not the 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.000 second and third and longs. Minnesota has done a great 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.880 job with that. They're fourth against the run defensively, they're 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.480 sixth against the past defensively. They have simply been an 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.400 awesome defense so far. So it poses a great challenge 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.240 for Carson Wentz, the offensive line, the receivers, running backs, 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:18.960 the tight ends in this game for the Eagles. In 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.320 five games, these forced twelve takeaways, twelve turnovers, and that's 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.520 kind of the whole idea here for the Philadelphiagles. We've 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.679 talked about this, don't turn the football over, convert on 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.119 third downs, and minimize the penalties, and Eagles have not 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.720 done any of that offensively in the last couple of weeks. 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:39.119 Here wide receivers Jordan Matthews having a good season for 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.600 the Eagles. He's a he's not a down the field 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.800 thread of though, he had a big play against the Redskins. 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.560 Solter Stephan Diggs has been battling some injuries, but you 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.040 see twenty five catches nearly fifteen yards of catch. He's 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.480 the go to player in the past game along with 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.719 Kyle Rudolf their tight end. Yeah, look, they got they 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.439 got some players that are you know, they're okay, but 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.639 you can look at again, this is about a pressure 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:05.480 on Bradford. Now, he showed tremendous physical toughness and I 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.399 guess you know, call it mental toughness hanging in the 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.520 pocket versus a Green Bay in that game earlier in 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.959 the season. So he's you know, he's showing more of that, 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.359 I think than he did, especially early last year with 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.680 the Eagles. But you want to get after him because 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.840 his weapons, while okay, they're not great. And I think 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.560 that's the opportunity, Dave, if they can get to brad 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.239 It's look, I think it's all been imperative and the 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:29.880 Vikings have backups at both tackle positions. The defensive line 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:34.240 angry after the performance last week. No sacks in Washington. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.119 That's just something that Jim Schwarz's defense don't do. And 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.679 for this defense to be outstanding, the front four minus 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.639 the blitz has to win the battle. Eagles may not 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.200 have Benny Logan this week, so that's going to be 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.800 a setback for Wettles. And also the Eagles have got 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:52.600 to tackle better. Linebackers, corners, and safeties clearly missed tackles 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.359 versus Washington and that was a real, real problem in 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.600 the game, and that's a huge part of how Washington 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.240 had so many yards. Obviously running interested to see what 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.160 what Doug and Frank Reich do. I expect a quick 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:09.280 passing game third down, keep it manageable, keep the chains moving, 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.520 matriculate the ball up the field. But it could be 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.400 a low scoring game. Say up the field, I say 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.239 down the field. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's right, 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.600 Maybe you're right out. It feels like it's been uphill 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.240 for the Eagles offense the last couple of weeks at least. 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.120 All right, that's our first look at the unbeaten Minnesota 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.440 Vikings one o'clock kick off at Lincoln Financial Field, the 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.880 breast cancer campaign game for the Eagles in South Philadelphia. 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.639 We've got more to get to here on Eagles three sixty, 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.760 including a look back at a memorable moment in this 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:44.040 Eagles Vikings rivalry, Brian Westbrook zigging and zagging as the 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:53.400 Eagles marched to the NFC Championship game. Their legend is legendary. 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.040 They've seen the end zone more often than any other 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:01.800 duo in history. They are professional football player.
