Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, and welcome to Eagles three sixty. Dave Spidero
Speaker 1: Glenn mac. Now it's Thursday in Philadelphia. We're looking ahead,
Speaker 1: of course, to Sunday night, the Eagles and the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys for the one hundred and eleventh time these two
Speaker 1: teams will meet. And to all those have you about
Speaker 1: half of them, it feels like yeah, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's really a fun one. Glenn, There's so many great
Speaker 1: storylines here. We've talked about the quarterbacks here this week.
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz today talking about the strength of the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys offensive. Really, when you hear it from the players
Speaker 1: and the coaches all week, you get a different perspective.
Speaker 1: I mean the way it sounds, I mean, Eagles have
Speaker 1: complete respect for what the Dallas Cowboys are doing offensively,
Speaker 1: the run game, the quarterback, Dez Bryant, back, the big
Speaker 1: offensive line, the tight end, and they sha every spot.
Speaker 1: How do you beat him? You beat him by the outscore.
Speaker 1: That's how you beat him. And I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: offense is very good. Day They're gonna score points. Is
Speaker 1: not gonna be last week against Minnesota. You're not going
Speaker 1: to shut them down. The trick is their defense isn't
Speaker 1: very good. Their numbers right now aren't bad. They're only
Speaker 1: given up eighteen points a game. But I think that's
Speaker 1: a bit of a sham. And I think if you
Speaker 1: can control the ball, and we'll talk about that, you
Speaker 1: can beat the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas. You see what
Speaker 1: kind of mood he's in. He's in that bold, aggressive mood,
Speaker 1: and we will hear some of Glenn mcnell's bold predictions
Speaker 1: in a bit. Here. Let's get you caught up on
Speaker 1: everything happening on this Thursday. It's our Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith here
Speaker 1: with your three sixty update. We are another day closer
Speaker 1: to the prime time Sunday night matchup between the Eagles
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys for first place in the NFC East.
Speaker 1: And while a lot of the storylines this week have
Speaker 1: focused around the two rookie quarterbacks going head to head,
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott, today we heard inside the
Speaker 1: locker room about what this rivalry means to the Eagles players,
Speaker 1: specifically players like Jason Kelsey and Connor Barwin who have
Speaker 1: been through it before. You know, it's it's the most
Speaker 1: important game right now, and it's a fun one because
Speaker 1: it means a lot right now in the season, and
Speaker 1: then you know, it always means so much to everybody
Speaker 1: in this city. So it's an exciting one and we'll
Speaker 1: be ready to go and we'll play well. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is just right another game. But at the same point,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd be lying if I say if I
Speaker 1: said that the emotions weren't different going into a game
Speaker 1: like this where you play against the team twice a
Speaker 1: year with meaningful games, and I think the emotions are
Speaker 1: a lot higher during games like this. We also heard
Speaker 1: from Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and players inside the
Speaker 1: locker room about why the Cowboys have been able to
Speaker 1: have so much success both throwing and running the ball,
Speaker 1: and a common theme seems to be the play of
Speaker 1: the offensive line. A lot has been made of, you know,
Speaker 1: the few amount of turnovers, A lot of that can
Speaker 1: be attributed to the offensive line because he hasn't had
Speaker 1: to throw a ball before he wanted to, or you know,
Speaker 1: got hit when he was thrown actually the one, the
Speaker 1: one he has as he was hit when he was thrown.
Speaker 1: But it's been very rare that he's been hit, he's
Speaker 1: had some clean pockets, he's been able to buy time. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the old line is probably the best in
Speaker 1: the league, so that helps as well. You know, when
Speaker 1: when things kind of break down, he has time to
Speaker 1: kind of just sit in there and decipher what he
Speaker 1: wants to do, whether he wants to take off or
Speaker 1: you know, scrambling and look for the open receiver. So
Speaker 1: having that old line really helps him out a lot.
Speaker 1: You know, for us, it's just really just try and
Speaker 1: trying to make them make quick decisions and get the
Speaker 1: ball out quick. On our side of the ball, well,
Speaker 1: I think I think it starts with with Ezekiel. You know,
Speaker 1: they run the ball really well, as you guys all know.
Speaker 1: And then once once you run the ball that well,
Speaker 1: it's going to open up the passing gain that will
Speaker 1: wrap things up here from the Novacare Complex. So you
Speaker 1: can check out all of our locker rooms sound on
Speaker 1: demand right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the
Speaker 1: official Eagles mobile app. Thank you so much, Alex. We've
Speaker 1: got a lot to get to on the show today.
Speaker 1: A progress report on a special team player who was
Speaker 1: honored this week and who's also making contribution as a
Speaker 1: wide receiver. We'll look back in time, a beautiful time
Speaker 1: when the Eagles were all over Troy Aikman pounded him
Speaker 1: into the ground. Do you remember that game? Eleven sacks
Speaker 1: for the Eagles, and then Glenn's gonna get bold and
Speaker 1: beautiful in just a bit when we return though, too.
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. We're talking defense with safety Rodney McLeod.
Speaker 1: How did the Eagles stop Dallas on Sunday night? Are
Speaker 1: you here to buy the tickets? Hey, buddy, you here
Speaker 1: for the tickets? Yeah? Dude, what's the password? Man? What
Speaker 1: are you thinking? We're doing like a CD ticket deal
Speaker 1: instead of going to NFL ticket Exchange. NFL Ticket Exchange,
Speaker 1: verified author of tickets from one fan to the other.
Speaker 1: We'll see it at the game, all right, yes, sir?
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate take your spring vacation with Eagles players
Speaker 1: and alumni on Apple Vacations Beach Politz. Join me along
Speaker 1: with Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, and Jordan Matthews on an
Speaker 1: all inclusive vacation a world away from the ordinary at
Speaker 1: the luxurious now Jade Riviera Cancut Resort. You'll receive NonStop
Speaker 1: round trip airfare luxury hotel, accommodations and special events with
Speaker 1: Eagles VIPs. Go to Apple Vacations dot com slash Eagles
Speaker 1: to book your trip today. We'd simply right checkings from
Speaker 1: sontimes their bank. Just Nick went deposits withdrawal transfer or
Speaker 1: payment each month to wait the monthly fee and there's
Speaker 1: no minimum balance. You're all right, eximply right checking from
Speaker 1: the sonton their bank. Well, the Eagles felt they got
Speaker 1: it right in the spring when they added Rodney McCloud
Speaker 1: via free agency to team with Malcolm Jenkins, and so
Speaker 1: far in six games, Eagles have certainly gotten it right
Speaker 1: at the safety positions. We welcome Rodney McLoud into the studio. Rodney,
Speaker 1: it seems to have gone really well with you and Malcolm.
Speaker 1: You used to feel that way. Yeah, man. It's obviously
Speaker 1: been a good start to the season. You know, obviously
Speaker 1: had a couple of lapses of the past two games,
Speaker 1: but for the most part since OTAs and things, we've
Speaker 1: been building chemistry and you know, you just see an
Speaker 1: inform right now. So it has been great planning alongside Jenkins.
Speaker 1: How do you form chemistry? How do you form trust?
Speaker 1: How do you form that that Union back there. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean from just getting to know one another.
Speaker 1: But it always helps when you got a guy like
Speaker 1: him and myself. Uh, you know, two smart players kind
Speaker 1: of see the game alike. Um, come from familiar backgrounds
Speaker 1: like far as, Greg Williams and uh, you know, just
Speaker 1: just having a right mindset, man, and not being too
Speaker 1: prideful and just just one to work beside one another.
Speaker 1: So it's great, man. I think we feed off each other.
Speaker 1: We can pete with one another, and you know it's
Speaker 1: a great bond on and off the field. Ny, what
Speaker 1: do you think are the physical characteristics that you need
Speaker 1: to be a great safety in the league at a
Speaker 1: position that's really changed so much over the years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you got all different types of safeties. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, I think you have to be smart. Uh,
Speaker 1: you got to be a shirt tackler, whether it's open
Speaker 1: field or or being at that angel back there, um,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. You know, receivers are so dynamic nowadays
Speaker 1: and running backs, Um, you have to be able to
Speaker 1: cover tight ends are flexing out. You know, you see
Speaker 1: it each every week. So it's not like the old school.
Speaker 1: You know, just line up and they're gonna run the ball.
Speaker 1: It's literally nowadays games it's changed, spreading things out, playing
Speaker 1: in space, and you know me and James both have
Speaker 1: corner background, so that helps us out a lot. The
Speaker 1: game on Sunday against minnesort of dominating performance, front to back,
Speaker 1: back to front all over. What did that do for
Speaker 1: this group as you've kind of spent the last couple
Speaker 1: of days living the moment but also looking ahead to Dallas?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, I mean it was a great win.
Speaker 1: Uh No, better feeling they get it versus the Vikings
Speaker 1: at home. Man, the crowd was into it from from
Speaker 1: the first snap. But and we just fed off that.
Speaker 1: But it all started in practice, man, preparation, you know
Speaker 1: how how we approached it, getting back to basics, fundamentals
Speaker 1: and technique. We talked about it all week and the
Speaker 1: showed on Sunday. So we're just trying to carry this
Speaker 1: momentum into going into Dallas. Who's Who's another good team
Speaker 1: and obviously a division opponent. Why are they so good offensively?
Speaker 1: They leave the league in rushing, They got the big
Speaker 1: offensive landing at days back. You got your hands full, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: you know you hit You said it It all starts
Speaker 1: up front, um, you know, the game's gonna be one
Speaker 1: of the trenches. Uh. You know, our de line is
Speaker 1: gonna be up for the challenge. Those guys's been doing
Speaker 1: a good job over there, moving guys. Ezekiel Elliot has
Speaker 1: been finding the hole and hitting it. Dak Prescott has been,
Speaker 1: uh doing phenomenal and the way he's leading that group.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be another big challenge for us. Man.
Speaker 1: But you know it is each and every Sunday, So
Speaker 1: it's all about how we prepare and uh you know
Speaker 1: how our mindset is going to that game. It's football
Speaker 1: a big deal to you? Noah, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: look at it as a big deal. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously everybody's gonna be watching. You wanna perform well, you know,
Speaker 1: in front of your family and friends, um, and represent
Speaker 1: your name as well as the organization. But um, can't,
Speaker 1: can't let the moment get too high. Man. You gotta say,

Speaker 1: come to you and just have fun. Broddie, what do
Speaker 1: you do all day on Sunday? Uh, Sunday night game? Man? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know I prefer a one o'clock game. You know,
Speaker 1: just wake up and get to it. But just relax. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, probably look over my notes, check out some games,
Speaker 1: but it kind of just relaxed, man, and uh, just
Speaker 1: get ready. Uh you know it's gonna be it's gonna

Speaker 1: over Leotis mckelman. So I don't know who's next, but
Speaker 1: you know, watch out same draft format that everybody else does.
Speaker 1: You pick players, a little snake gets snake draft. Um.
Speaker 1: I actually had the first pick the draft, so I
Speaker 1: took Antonio Brown. Okay, okay. I saw him go off
Speaker 1: the field on Sunday. I'm like, oh boy, all these
Speaker 1: fantasy football owers are freaking out and yeah, yeah, well
Speaker 1: hey man, if you play Antunior Brown, You'll shut him
Speaker 1: down and be a winner and a loser. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't. I didn't start him the week that
Speaker 1: we played him. Good thing, because he would have. He
Speaker 1: actually had a big he had a big numbers that game.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, hey man, in the real life, this
Speaker 1: game is for first place in the NFC East and
Speaker 1: the division is so competitive, the rivalry. Have you gotten
Speaker 1: a sense of what it's like to be Eagles versus
Speaker 1: Cowboys week? Um got a little bit. I could tell
Speaker 1: how coach petis and um, the way he said, you
Speaker 1: know this week, you know it's big. I can see
Speaker 1: it in his eyes. How um, you know the robbery
Speaker 1: is huge, man. And just talking to some of the
Speaker 1: other guys, particularly Malcolm Jeniz, you know this is a
Speaker 1: very big week. So I'm excited, and you know, we
Speaker 1: just go out there and take care of business. Go
Speaker 1: get him, Rodney, thanks so much for joining us beat

Speaker 1: We're back at the Eagles three sixty Dave and Glenn
Speaker 1: Here and time now for Glenn macnow and his bold predictions.
Speaker 1: Feeling good, I am. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good
Speaker 1: about this game. I'm feeling good about my predictions. Did
Speaker 1: pretty well last week. Don't forget to mention that, Dave,
Speaker 1: you did well last week. Thank you, Dave. Here you go.
Speaker 1: Bold prediction number one. Although the Cowboys lead the league
Speaker 1: in this stat the Eagles will win the time of possession,
Speaker 1: and this is important. The Cowboys right now averaging thirty
Speaker 1: three minutes eight seconds a game the Eagles time of possession,
Speaker 1: they're third in the league, which is pretty good at
Speaker 1: thirty two sixteen. I think Doug Peterson knows that he's
Speaker 1: going to have to dominate this. In order to win,
Speaker 1: you got to keep the ball out of the Cowboys hands.
Speaker 1: That's basic. So the Eagles are gonna run some screens,
Speaker 1: They're gonna take up time between plays, they are going
Speaker 1: to make a concerted effort, and I think they're going
Speaker 1: to move the ball in the Cowboys win the time
Speaker 1: of possession. You can beat the Cowboys, but win the
Speaker 1: time of passion. I agree with you. I think that's
Speaker 1: a really key statistic in this game. However, I will
Speaker 1: say this, in the last three games without Lane Johnson,
Speaker 1: maybe that's a coincidence, maybe it's not. The Eagles time
Speaker 1: of possession has decreased an average of five and a
Speaker 1: half minutes per game in those three games. So the
Speaker 1: Eagles have not been able to sustain drives. In Washington.
Speaker 1: A lot of it was due to the defense not
Speaker 1: getting off the field. But there's a difference here. You're right,
Speaker 1: without Lane Johnson, that's not a coincidence. But also, you
Speaker 1: faced a Washington defensive line with Ryan carrog and you
Speaker 1: faced a Minnesota defensive line that was good. Dallas's defensive
Speaker 1: line they don't have those guys, all right, all right?
Speaker 1: Number two, mark down Jordan Hicks for a dozen tackles
Speaker 1: this weekend. He had a really good game against Minnesota.
Speaker 1: I think he had eleven. Let's give him one more.
Speaker 1: Rodney McCloud leads the Eagles and tackles. He's having a
Speaker 1: great year. But you know, you don't want your safety
Speaker 1: leading the team and tackles. You want your middle linebacker
Speaker 1: to be that guy. It's gonna be his job to
Speaker 1: stop Ezekiel Elliott coming through that second wave. I think
Speaker 1: he's up to it. It's going to be the best
Speaker 1: game of the year for Jordan Hicks, and if the
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna win, he's got to have a great year.
Speaker 1: Who had a great first half last year at at
Speaker 1: and T Stadium, Remember the interception returned for a touchdown
Speaker 1: later tourist pectoral muscle out for the season. Jordan Hicks
Speaker 1: coming on, had his best game of the year against
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. All right, number three, you're gonna like
Speaker 1: this one, Okay. I picture this in my mind's eye.
Speaker 1: Game starts what a thirty so a figure. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be ending close to midnight, Yes, right around that time,
Speaker 1: as Philadelphia fans are sending their living rooms their bedroom
Speaker 1: watching this thing. You will see on the sidelines Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones standing there as he often does, and he's gonna
Speaker 1: have the look of a man who just swallowed a
Speaker 1: dozen bad clams. Okay, because he's gonna think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are gonna win. It's gonna be a very close game
Speaker 1: down to the end. He likes to go down to
Speaker 1: that sideline when he's feeling it, so a pained look
Speaker 1: on his face, an unpleasant look on his face, look
Speaker 1: of a good man who just had the game stolen
Speaker 1: from him, the look of a man who looks like
Speaker 1: he's had constipation for five years. That's the most comments.
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's three of them. Glenn's got two
Speaker 1: more bold predictions, and they are bold for the kickoff show.
Speaker 1: You can hear that, watch that, see that on Sunday
Speaker 1: night right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much, Glenn. Good job, Dave. Okay, let's get the
Speaker 1: more here. We've got a few more set, couple more
Speaker 1: segments here on Eagle three sixty. We'll talk about Josh
Speaker 1: Huff and the progress he's made. But when we returned
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty, we're gonna go back in our time vaults,
Speaker 1: a time when the Eagles defense, the particularly the defensive line,
Speaker 1: completely dominated the Dallas Cowboys. A little foreshadowing for Sunday night.
Speaker 1: This portion of Eagles three sixty was presented by McDonald's

Speaker 1: look back in time. The Eagles and the Cowboys rivalry
Speaker 1: a great one, right we all know that. Nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: one the season It's our Old School All twenty two
Speaker 1: Look Merrill Reese and Mike Quick the day the Eagles
Speaker 1: buried Troy Aikman. Hire for one on Merril Reese Voice
Speaker 1: the Eagles and Welcome to Old School All twenty two,
Speaker 1: a unique look through coaching tape of a unique moment,
Speaker 1: a special moment or play in Eagles history, and with
Speaker 1: the Eagles in Dallas this week, Mike, what is better
Speaker 1: remembered than nineteen ninety one when the Eagles sack Troy
Speaker 1: Aikman eleven times? How do you do that with an
Speaker 1: offensive line tackle quarterback eleven times? They got it done
Speaker 1: and they just spread it around the entire team. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't just how well the guys up front played
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman had to hold onto the football because of
Speaker 1: the coverage on the back end and allow those guys
Speaker 1: to get hits on the quarterback. Let me show you
Speaker 1: how well they covered on the back end that allowed
Speaker 1: that defensive line to get eleven quarterbacks to set a
Speaker 1: record on Troy Aikman. It's second and nine late in
Speaker 1: the first quarter. The Eagles came out and played cover
Speaker 1: two men with two safeties high and a deep part
Speaker 1: of the field and straight man coverage across the board.
Speaker 1: With sevent defenders in coverage, this leaves just the four
Speaker 1: man rush, so the Eagles will relive on the front
Speaker 1: floor to generate pressure. Troy Aikman takes the snap and
Speaker 1: at the top of his drop he has absolutely nowhere
Speaker 1: to go with the football but two safeties playing the
Speaker 1: deep part of the field the man defenders playing tight,
Speaker 1: aggressive coverage underneath, taking away to quick throws in the progression.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happens here, as Akerman is forced to
Speaker 1: step up right into the waiting arms of Jerome Brown.
Speaker 1: On the next play, the Eagles were at it again,
Speaker 1: playing cover two men in the secondary with the foe
Speaker 1: man rush. Again. Aikman drops back and he has nowhere
Speaker 1: to go with the football, and Reggie White forces him
Speaker 1: to the right and Clyde Simon takes him down from
Speaker 1: behind for his second sack of the drive. On the
Speaker 1: next series, Ekman drops back and, not wanting to get
Speaker 1: crushed again, tried to force the throw to a slot
Speaker 1: receiver down the seam on a vertical route, but with
Speaker 1: the two safeties deep downfield, the pass turned into an
Speaker 1: easy interception for rich beyond him. This is covered two
Speaker 1: men at its best, as a four man rush forces
Speaker 1: the quarterback to get rid of the football earlier than
Speaker 1: he wants to, and a prowling safety takes advantage of
Speaker 1: the errand pass. The Eagles defensive front gets a lot
Speaker 1: of credit for this eleven sack performance, but don't forget
Speaker 1: the secondary on the back end. Both facets of the
Speaker 1: defense helped to lead that memorable game and one of
Speaker 1: the toughest of Troy Aikman's career, as they sacked Troy
Speaker 1: Aikman time after time and we started to count them nine, ten, eleven.
Speaker 1: I remember saying, if this were a boxing match, it
Speaker 1: should be stopped merrow top to bottom. That was an
Speaker 1: outstanding defense. You look at the guys up front, and
Speaker 1: they were certainly able to put a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: on Aikman, but on the back end, guys like Eric
Speaker 1: Allen able to cover up his receivers down the field,
Speaker 1: just making it easier for the guys upfront. An outstanding defense,
Speaker 1: and of course we talk about Jim Johnson as a great,
Speaker 1: great defensive coordinator, but also a guy who belongs to
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame was calling that defense, and that
Speaker 1: was Bud Carson. But of course, and then you know,
Speaker 1: the guys were talking about everyone was getting sex, but
Speaker 1: Reggie didn't have his SEC yet, and Reggie was complaining,
Speaker 1: when am I going to get my seck? And finally
Speaker 1: Reggie White did join the group and got his SEC.
Speaker 1: In that game, that defense was number one against the run,
Speaker 1: number one against the past, and number one overall. Merrill
Speaker 1: and Mike, a great job is always nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that game? Remember it heartily, Dave, Remember
Speaker 1: enjoying myself thoroughly. It's just as good the second time around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's it's it kind of sets the stage for
Speaker 1: this game, I think because the Eagles defensive line, well,
Speaker 1: it does not match up to that nineteen ninety one group.
Speaker 1: I mean, what a group. Reggie and Clyde and Jerome
Speaker 1: and this defensive line has to win big on Sunday Night.
Speaker 1: Agree absolutely that you have to hold them. As I said,
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are going to score points, but
Speaker 1: you have to hold them. You have to contain that
Speaker 1: line so that the thing doesn't get out of hand,
Speaker 1: likely without Benny Logan. So Bo Allen has to play
Speaker 1: big once again, Taylor Hart, etc. In his reserve role.
Speaker 1: So all right, we're segment to go here on Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty. When we return. Among other things, we're taking
Speaker 1: a look at Josh Huff who suddenly has become a
Speaker 1: big part of things for the Eagles. Their legend is legendary.

Speaker 1: Our final segment here on Eagles three sixty Daves Fidero
Speaker 1: Glenn Mac now with you. Josh Huff was big last
Speaker 1: week as a kickoff return man as a receiver, and
Speaker 1: in this week's progress report without Greece and Mike Quick,
Speaker 1: we take a look at Josh off. All right, cute
Speaker 1: progress report brings us to wide receiver Josh Huff, and
Speaker 1: he's being used in a multiple ways for this team.
Speaker 1: Like you title him wide receiver and he's titled that,
Speaker 1: but he does so many things. He's a football player.
Speaker 1: He does a whole lot more than just playing the
Speaker 1: receiver position, and we'll see that. Yeah. I like the
Speaker 1: fact that they get him in motion here you watch
Speaker 1: the zoom motion and this is one of those option
Speaker 1: plays that Carson has that if you don't get a
Speaker 1: guy going with Josh Huff in motion, he's going to
Speaker 1: throw it to Josh Huff. But if there is somebody
Speaker 1: that goes out there to vacase the box, this is
Speaker 1: also a run option play as well. Very good design play.
Speaker 1: Get the ball in the hub's hands quick and then
Speaker 1: give him some open space to let him do what
Speaker 1: he does. It's about the numbers, and you're exactly right.
Speaker 1: No one comes with him in motion. So he's got
Speaker 1: two blockers from two defenders on the outside and you
Speaker 1: give the over pasted on that play. Now, this is
Speaker 1: a special team and to me, this was the play
Speaker 1: that really changed the momentum of this football game. This
Speaker 1: kickoff return from Josh Shelf. Obviously, great job from his
Speaker 1: blockers up front. You're getting guys sealed off. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get a kick out there, and then when you get
Speaker 1: the lead returner going in, he's gonna pick up a
Speaker 1: guy I mean it's a well designed play. Look at
Speaker 1: the open field. And the thing I like about this
Speaker 1: return from Josh. You know, he has that form of
Speaker 1: running back inning and so he sees this guy here
Speaker 1: that's that's a kicker. That's not gonna happen in open field.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even slow down, runs through that arm tackle.
Speaker 1: Great job. He runs with power when he's on the
Speaker 1: kickoff return. A little concerned about that that's a little
Speaker 1: height on that flip there. Thankfully that there was no
Speaker 1: injury there. But I guess when you have a return
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, you can do what you want. Here's
Speaker 1: a basket of his game that has improved tremendously this year.
Speaker 1: We're going a little bit unnoticed, but that's why we're
Speaker 1: here to talk about it. His play on special teams,
Speaker 1: in the coverage units. He's been one of the best
Speaker 1: on the team all year long. This is one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why I say he's more than just a
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He's a football player because he's been one
Speaker 1: of the best gunners and when you only have one
Speaker 1: guy holding him up at the line of scrimmage, not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Josh Huff gets down the field. Watch how
Speaker 1: he gets under control as he approaches the returner. That's
Speaker 1: a pretty good returner and Jamison Crowder that's a good returner.
Speaker 1: Josh turns basically to a defensive player and the reason
Speaker 1: why this is important. Great job of keep an upfield levage.
Speaker 1: He's going to force Crowder back in, but that's not
Speaker 1: enough for him. He makes to play. That's a solo
Speaker 1: tackle from a gunner on one of the best punt
Speaker 1: returners in the National Football League. Really impressed with the
Speaker 1: way Josh Huff has played this year, not just on offense,
Speaker 1: but I think he's making an even greater impact on
Speaker 1: special teams. Thanks so much, guys, Glenn, I got to
Speaker 1: ask you about Josh and what you see for him
Speaker 1: in the immediate future with this Eagles offense the way
Speaker 1: they're getting him to football. Yeah, well, I think this
Speaker 1: is a team that doesn't have the best skill position
Speaker 1: players in the league. We know that, so you have
Speaker 1: to find a way to use guys to their strength.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who win, he gets the ball,
Speaker 1: can run with. He used to be a running back,
Speaker 1: So you want to get the ball in his hands
Speaker 1: five six times a game and allow him to make
Speaker 1: those plays. I would be shocked. I would be shocked
Speaker 1: if he has an opportunity to get any kickoff returns
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. If that's I mean, Dan
Speaker 1: Balley is going to kick the ball and the stadium
Speaker 1: against this kicker. There's no way a team is going
Speaker 1: to give Josh Huff an opportunity or Windel Smallwood. This
Speaker 1: is an outstanding game breaking kickoff return team. Correct, barring
Speaker 1: some weird penalty before a kickoff where they have to
Speaker 1: kick it off for their own ten Yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of touch. Hopefully will be very few
Speaker 1: kickoffs if the Eagles are receiving right our Amroso's on
Speaker 1: the menu segment for you what's ahead? On Friday, We've
Speaker 1: got Doug Peterson making his final media address. We've got
Speaker 1: another rookie in the chair to my left, Howard Eskin.
Speaker 1: How about that will be the co host here? Yeahs
Speaker 1: rookie has some key matchups for the Eagles and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys on Sunday night. Amrosos. The reason Philly sandwiches are
Speaker 1: so famous. Glenn. We won't see you the rest of
Speaker 1: the week on our three six, but I'll be thinking
Speaker 1: about your dank I'll be thinking about you as well.
Speaker 1: What do you think about this game? Still feeling it
Speaker 1: for the Eagles? I feel good about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: oh guarantees or anything. It's gonna be a very high
Speaker 1: scoring game, come down to last possession. Uh. And I
Speaker 1: like the ball in the rookies hands. Are rookies hands
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Remember Jim Jared Jerry Jones,
Speaker 1: that's his name. Bad claim Jerry Jones, Bad Clinton, got it.
