You when the ec 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.200 Eagles get off to a great star from the home crowd. 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.960 First time they'll be playing in the regular season at 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.120 Lincoln Financial Field, and what better way than to usher 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.680 in the home schedule than bring in those venomous Dallas Cowboys. 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.280 Dallas off to great start, coming from behind to beat 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:15.920 the New York Giants. Of course, the Eagles trying to 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.440 erase that tasse out of the mouse after losing Monday 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.919 Night to Atlanta. The crowd is going to be ready. 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.120 It's just America. Well the Eagles deliver on Sunday. Yeah, 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.319 I need a sixty minute effort from this football team 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.440 after struggling in the first half Monday Night. But that's 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.160 all behind us. We look ahead to Sunday. We've got 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.680 a great show for you. Today. We're gonna do a 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.119 little stats only, some key matchups that Chris and I 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.000 delve into, and then the Game Plan Show takes a 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.920 look at defensive line in Taylor Hart, who on Monday 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.240 night saw his first regular season action in the NFL. 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.520 First things first, though, let's get your caught up with 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.520 everything Philadelphia Eagles. Our Eagles three sixty update with Alex Smith. 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.440 Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith here with your three sixty update, 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.920 presented by Sports Authority. Well before we head into hashtag 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.280 beat Dallas on Sunday Day, let's take a look back 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:02.960 at some of the best moments from the week here 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.600 at the Novacare Complex. We'll start things off with Chip 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.800 Kelly talking about what needs to improve against Dallas. First 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.239 and foremost, penalties. You know, you you go out and 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.760 you got ten ten penalties against Dallas and you're probably 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.079 gonna end up on the wrong side of the stick. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.120 You know, you got to clean up, you know, the 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.560 things that we can control, and we didn't do a 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.240 very good job from a standpoint. Um. You know, we 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.720 we also had a turnover that we created that we 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.480 had a call back because of a penalty on the 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.040 defensive side of the ball. So when you really look 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.240 at how many yards we lost on the offensive side 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.079 of the ball and to turnover on the defensive side 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:35.760 of the ball, you know, we're shooting ourselves in the 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.600 foot and none of that. You know, the penalty on 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.520 the defensive side of the ball didn't affect the rush 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.720 or the fumble or the fumble recovery. You know, it 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.600 was down the field. So it's it's like that part 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:46.840 of it's got to clean up. You know. If you're 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.320 gonna be a good football team in this league, you 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.919 can't be a highly penalized team in this league. One 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.280 of the biggest storylines for the Eagles heading into Sunday 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.720 is that DeMarco Mary will be facing his former team 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.560 in the Dallas Cowboys. Last year, Mary rush for eighteen 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.440 hundred and forty five yards the Cowboys star on his helmet. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.720 But to him, this is just another game, not at all, 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.720 not from my end at least, like I said, this 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.519 is this is a true business and I'm very sort 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.600 of speaking motionless when it comes to a lot of things, 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.320 especially the business side. I understand the business aspect of NFL, 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.120 and it's all about, you know, just finding guys who's 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.240 right for your system. And I feel like, you know, 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.960 I'm here and this is the best This is the 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.400 best place for me. This is where I want to be, 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.919 and this is a team that wanted me. So I'm 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.880 not worried about you know, those guys, and I'm sure 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.360 they're a great, great group of guys, great organization, and 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.480 a lot of respect for him and um, but I've 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.800 moved on a long time ago and I'm happy to 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.640 be here. During his conference call with the Philadelphia Media, 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.560 Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo spoke about not having his go 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.560 to target and Dez Bryant and how everyone else needs 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.400 to step up in Brian's absence. I don't know, we'll see, 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.320 you know, obviously, you got to have things in place 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.560 to help, you know, the football team of the ballman. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.240 You're not gonna be able to just plus the manana 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.880 and hey there's another does brand that doesn't happen, and yeah, 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.560 you just gotta get everyone's gotta step up and be better. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.800 During Monday Nights season opener in Atlanta, we saw all 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.960 three inside linebackers get significant playing time for the Eagles, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.200 and according to Demiko Ryan's and defensive coordinator Bill Davis, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.320 that rotation should continue on Sunday where we're rolling all 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:20.839 three of them in kind of a little bit of 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.120 a get back from injury mode, and how do we 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.000 use these three in the right situation. So depending on 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.000 personnela comes at us, we kind of send in the 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.200 inside backers in a kind of a format. We'll see 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.240 how it goes throughout the flow of the game. We'll 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.040 see see how the rotation goes. I mean, I expected 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.720 to pick up a little bit more. That will wrap 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.520 things up here from the Eagles Nest.

My special guest this week none other than 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:11.200 second year wide receiver Jordan Matthews. Jordan Eagles Cowboys this 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.320 Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. What do you think of 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.360 when you hear the name the Dallas Cowboys. You know, 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.400 I definitely think a rivalry. I know that it's going 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.000 to be a great test for us. I know it's 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.920 always going to be competitive against them. And then I 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.480 think every single time you go out there on the 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.320 field with it, it's got. It's kind of got that 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.960 you know, college football field, where it's like, you know, 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.120 this game really means like a lot. But at the 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.280 same time, we always had that mindset that every game 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.480 is the same, So we always like to take all 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.280 the stuff around us, all that outside hype, kind of 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.040 put it to the side and just focus on what 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.520 we have to do, and I think everybody's kind of 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.760 on that same mindset. I was reading your media gout 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.560 Biled and I thought it was interesting that you said 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.720 you're welcome to the NFL moment came last Thanksgiving against 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.760 the Cowboys. I'm thinking to myself, here, I already played 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.280 a bunch of games, he already had some success. Why 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.360 is that you're welcome to the NFL moment? Because it 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.880 was it was really one of those times when it 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.000 was like it felt, wow, this is like really what 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.680 the NFL is like all about. Like I'd done it. 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.080 I'd played the Monday night football game before that too, 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.320 but you know, we had played night games throughout the preseason, 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.040 so it was kind of like, Okay, I understand this, 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:16.880 But it was a whole or of it being in 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.200 Dallas Cowboys Stadium. It being on things given, knowing that 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:24.080 that's the only game everybody's watching, Like even the casual fan, 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.400 when this thing is given, you know, you gotta get 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.120 a big turkey eat with the family and watch football. 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.080 And so for my first year in the league to 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.719 be able to play on things given against the Cowboys, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.800 I thought that was amazing. It was a huge blessing 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.360 and I definitely had a lot of fun out there. 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.120 Big difference this year, Sam Bradford as your quarterback. You 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.520 two have developed a nice rapport early on. What's something 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:50.079 about him that fans don't know? I mean, you wouldn't 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:51.719 know it, but he actually knows a little bit of 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.000 hip hop, knows a little bit of hip hop music, 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.280 and I was I was surprised because when we played 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.520 the newer hip hop he ever, he he's not like 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.160 singing a log or anything. I don't think he falls 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.880 in anymore. But whenever he played the old school stuff, 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.560 I like be walking by him and I'll catch him 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.439 like saying the lyrics. I'm like, you know, but I won't. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.800 I really won't call him out sometimes I was gonna see, 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.200 like how much he knows. But there were a couple 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.480 of songs he seemed like word for word. And I'm 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.760 a big music guy too, so I mean, that's pretty 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.760 cool to know that you're you know, your quarterback. You know, 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.920 he's definitely you know when it comes to football, he's 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.400 very sareebal, He's that, he's that guy. But at the 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.280 same time, you know, he's got a little hip hop 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:29.640 in him too, So I like that. It's funny you 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.080 mentioned old school. What do you consider old school now? 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.840 Old school? Now? I mean, of course, you know, I'm 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.920 big hip hop in through you, so I like, you know, 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:42.439 the Pox, you know, the Biggism, you know nas, I 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.680 think you know more. When I was coming up a 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.839 little bit, you know, jay Z's kind of transcended time. 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.960 So jay z was old school, but even as I 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.320 was coming up, he was still making music that me 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.600 and some of my friends rock to. And then when 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.040 I was younger, of course Kanye West, but him, those 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.720 guys transcended time. But at the same time, they can 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.679 kind do a little bit of a crossover. But when 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.000 I say old school, old school, you know, I'm thinking 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.360 of the more so the Pox, the Bigs, the nass 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.520 uh you know, uh n wa, those type of guys. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.319 So your cousin is Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice. 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.120 And I'm sure you've delved into that story many times. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.360 Have you ever name dropped him in order to get 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.480 an advantage anywhere? Um? Yeah, definitely. When I was trying 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.760 to get my scholarship to play college, I mean, it 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.240 was so rough because nobody usually you know, biding at 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.079 the Bay. When it came to like colleges, they were 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.480 all like interested, but nobody wanted to offer. So whenever 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.679 I got a chance, like on me a coach, I'm like, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.000 you know, um, I have a three point you know, 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.720 nine g PA Jerry Rice and my cousin and and 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.080 you know, I've played football for four years and they all, 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.640 you know, you've heard you know what I'm saying. Yeah, 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.480 the grades of all time. So he just happened to 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.960 stab bloodline with me. So it's cool, but you know 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.920 it's later on though people kind of knew about it 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.040 at this point. I really think it's just something cool. 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.200 It's like a little fun fact. But I mean most 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.360 people know at this point. All right, in his second year, 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.400 he had one thousand, five hundred seventy receiving yards. You 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.520 had over one hundred receiving yards in the season opener 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.760 against Atlanta. Keep that pace up. You could surpast sixteen hundred. 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.920 I think he got shot. I've had to think a 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.080 numbers right now when you're trying to get these wis. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.800 It starts Sunday, Actual and Jordan Matthews our special guests 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.280 on this week's edition of Lais call cook presents, crunch time. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.800 How's it progressing with the prisoner?

I'm loving it. Welcome 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.360 back to Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero, Chris mcpheerson. Time 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.400 for our key matchups as we look ahead to Sunday's 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.920 game the Eagles and those Dallas Cowboys. Chris, why don't 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.240 you begin? I will? I will start with the Eagles 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:45.000 defense linebacker Kiko Alonso going against tight and Jason Witton, 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.640 the wiley vettan for the Cowboys would note Dez Bryant. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.520 You'd know that for Tony Romo, Witten will be the 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.760 safety valve. He was a go to guy late in 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.640 the winter over the Giants last week, and we saw 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.600 the athleticism from Alonso who as the size and ability 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.400 to be able to play out in space to take 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.199 on those tight ends. So curtly a fun matchups. I 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.600 don't know if the Eagles really have ever had anyone 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.199 of Alonzo size and sector to be able to keep 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.319 up with someone like Winton, who has been a thorn 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.680 in the Eagles oide for years, way back when a 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.360 linebacker by the name of Carlos Fay was able to 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.480 be a tight end cover man. But the Eagles have 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.360 had trouble since Emmons left town. My first matchup will 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.400 be on defense again. This time it's cornerback Byron Maxwell, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.760 looking to bounce back from his tough performance on Monday 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:36.200 night against the Falcons. Maxwell against the Cowboys Terrence Williams 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.520 not Dez Bryant, but still a threat down the field, 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.560 and Byron Maxwell really needs to be more physical at 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.280 the line of scrimmage. You talked about it during the 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.000 week about how he was unable to get the technique down. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.640 He needs to be a better cornerback. All eyes on 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:53.000 Byron Maxwell, not to be a shutdown cornerback necessarily, but 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.400 to be much more productive than he was on Monday 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.400 night against the Atlanta tough outing for him. He bounces 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.400 back on Sunday. Well, the key for a Williams is 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.080 gonna be the man delivering the football and that's Tony Romo, 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.240 one of the smartest quarterbacks in the NFL. Obviously very talent, 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.080 has been good for a number of years. But the 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.960 thing is when you look at the porest that both 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.800 he and Sam Bradford had in their respective season openers. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.240 They both struggled early, bounced back late. The difference is 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.840 Romo was able to come out with the win. Bradford 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.760 unable was unable to deliver that w for the Eagles. 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.440 But for Romo, a guy who I'm gonna watch is 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.520 the safety valve is gonna be Lance Dunbar, very similar 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.040 to who Sam Bradford has to utilize in Darren sproles. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.240 So the first time for Sam Bradford playing in the 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.080 regular season at home in the Lincoln Fantasil Field Faithball, 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.080 so it would be ampt the first matchup and the 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.720 Eagles fans can't wait. The young Tony Romo's case, it's 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.600 really good. Interesting to see how the workload that the 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.040 MARKETMA was able to take off Romo last year. How 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.800 that's going to expect Romo moving forward because now obviously 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.720 don't have Murray, but you don't have that go to 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.760 guy and Brian Yeah, and certainly the Cowboys will look 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.240 to other options, and so will the Eagles. Sam Bradford, well, 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.200 last week he found Jordan Matthews ten times. This week, 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.280 did the Eagles throw the football down the field. That 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.520 is my second matchup, the Eagles wide receiving Corps against 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:15.640 the Cowboys defensive backfield Without Orlando Scandrick. It is not 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.920 a star studded group in Dallas, but they did the 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.120 job against the Giants on Sunday Night. The Eagles dinking 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.760 and dunking their way to twenty four points on Monday Night? 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.640 Did they throw it down the field to Nelson Aglor 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.440 does Josh Huff stretches the defense? Who besides or in 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.920 addition to, I should say Jordan Matthews contributes from the 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.800 wide receiving corps. The Eagles have talked about the depth 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.960 of wide receiver here. They feel good about the depth. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.840 They liked the numbers. Some of these young players they 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:48.360 think will really blossom. Josh Huff, Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agilor, 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.320 Riley Cooper, and Miles Austin kind of role players in 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.720 the Monday Night loss. Really interested to see Chris if 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.440 the Cowboys come in to take away to Marco Murray. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.480 How does Sam Bradford attack in the passing game. Yeah, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.280 it'll be something to watch. So coming up next here 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.760 on Eagles three to sixty. It's our stats only feature 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.960 Alex Smith will delve into the numbers you need to 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:23.280 know to get ready for Sunday's MC Showdown.

We've given you stories all week. 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.040 Now it's time to crunch some of those numbers with 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.960 Alex Smith. Hi everyone, Alex Smith here inside the Novicare 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.000 Complex Studios and welcome back for another edition of Stats Only, 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.040 where we go beyond the box score and tell you 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.480 everything that you need to know about the Eagles matchups 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.320 that they would take a look back at the Atlanta 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.840 game before moving on to Dallas, and we'll start things 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.240 off by taking a closer look at Sam Bradford's Eagles debut. 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.440 While Bradford's first half was shaky at times on Monday Night, 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.760 he rebounded it in a huge way in the final 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:37.040 two quarters, completing twenty one of his twenty five passes 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.840 for two hundred and nineteen yards and a touchdown and 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:44.280 his first regular season action since twenty thirteen. Bradford completed 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.600 a career best thirty six passes on Monday while throwing 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.719 for three hundred and thirty six yards, the third highest 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.720 total of his NFL career, completing passes to ten different 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.160 Eagles receivers. One of those receivers that Bradford was able 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.120 to find often on Monday Night was ning back Darren Sprowles, 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.720 who has lived up to all expectations since joining the 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:07.679 Eagles in twenty fourteen, providing a reliable pass catching option 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.680 out of the backfield. Sproles once again proved this week. 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.520 While he is mister Monday Night Football, Sprowles was a 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.399 huge piece of the Eagles second half comeback effort on Monday, 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.040 catching seven passes for seventy six yards and tallying one 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.440 hundred and twenty six total yards from scrimmage. Sprowles now 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.199 has five hundred and ninety two career receiving yards on 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.719 Monday Night Football, the sixth highest total all time amongst 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:35.240 running backs, trailing only Keith Buyers, Marcus Allen, Tony Dorsett, 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.679 and Marshall Falk. Sprowles has done his damage in limited 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.520 opportunities as well, as he and Falk are the only 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.480 players in that top six list who have played fewer 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.000 than twenty games on Monday Night. One of the biggest 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.560 storylines heading into Sunday's game against Dallas is that the 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.560 Cowboys will be without All Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant, 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.240 and while Brian is obviously a huge part of that offense, 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.240 the numbers showed an interesting trend of how the Cowboys 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.600 were able to move the ball without him on the field. 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.600 In Sunday Night's primetime win against the Giants, Dallas Frand 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.800 forty nine plays with Brian in the lineup. With number 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.080 eighty eight on the field, the Cowboys game two hundred 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.800 and seventy eight yards, averaging five point seven yards per play. 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.399 After Dez left the game with a broken bone in 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:21.080 his foot, Dallas Frand twenty two plays, gaining one hundred 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.880 and sixty yards, good for an average of seven point 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.200 three yards per play, proving that even with Alf Bryant, 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.439 Tony Romo, and the Cowboys offense can still find ways 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.639 to move the ball. That will wrap things up for 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:35.840 the Week two edition of Stats Only. We'll see you 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:40.480 back here next week on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks Alex.
