WEBVTT - Eagles 360: October 27 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:26.160 Hello, everyone, and welcome to Eagles three sixty. Dave Spidero 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.000 Glenn mac. Now it's Thursday in Philadelphia. We're looking ahead, 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:31.960 of course, to Sunday night, the Eagles and the Dallas 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.519 Cowboys for the one hundred and eleventh time these two 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.800 teams will meet. And to all those have you about 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.920 half of them, it feels like yeah, and you know, 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.720 it's really a fun one. Glenn, There's so many great 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.280 storylines here. We've talked about the quarterbacks here this week. 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:50.400 Jim Schwartz today talking about the strength of the Dallas 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.040 Cowboys offensive. Really, when you hear it from the players 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.720 and the coaches all week, you get a different perspective. 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.320 I mean the way it sounds, I mean, Eagles have 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.160 complete respect for what the Dallas Cowboys are doing offensively, 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.360 the run game, the quarterback, Dez Bryant, back, the big 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.640 offensive line, the tight end, and they sha every spot. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.600 How do you beat him? You beat him by the outscore. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.479 That's how you beat him. And I think the Cowboys 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.360 offense is very good. Day They're gonna score points. Is 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.520 not gonna be last week against Minnesota. You're not going 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:20.040 to shut them down. The trick is their defense isn't 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.320 very good. Their numbers right now aren't bad. They're only 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.600 given up eighteen points a game. But I think that's 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.840 a bit of a sham. And I think if you 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.440 can control the ball, and we'll talk about that, you 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.600 can beat the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas. You see what 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.480 kind of mood he's in. He's in that bold, aggressive mood, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.399 and we will hear some of Glenn mcnell's bold predictions 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.000 in a bit. Here. Let's get you caught up on 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.600 everything happening on this Thursday. It's our Eagles three sixty 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.840 update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith here 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.240 with your three sixty update. We are another day closer 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.520 to the prime time Sunday night matchup between the Eagles 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.880 and the Cowboys for first place in the NFC East. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:58.840 And while a lot of the storylines this week have 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.240 focused around the two rookie quarterbacks going head to head, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.360 Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott, today we heard inside the 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.200 locker room about what this rivalry means to the Eagles players, 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.080 specifically players like Jason Kelsey and Connor Barwin who have 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.280 been through it before. You know, it's it's the most 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.680 important game right now, and it's a fun one because 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.320 it means a lot right now in the season, and 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.919 then you know, it always means so much to everybody 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.200 in this city. So it's an exciting one and we'll 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.359 be ready to go and we'll play well. I mean, 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:36.560 it is just right another game. But at the same point, 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.920 you know, I'd be lying if I say if I 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.040 said that the emotions weren't different going into a game 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.720 like this where you play against the team twice a 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:48.840 year with meaningful games, and I think the emotions are 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.919 a lot higher during games like this. We also heard 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.200 from Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and players inside the 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.760 locker room about why the Cowboys have been able to 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.760 have so much success both throwing and running the ball, 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.320 and a common theme seems to be the play of 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.240 the offensive line. A lot has been made of, you know, 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.360 the few amount of turnovers, A lot of that can 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.519 be attributed to the offensive line because he hasn't had 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.520 to throw a ball before he wanted to, or you know, 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.000 got hit when he was thrown actually the one, the 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.400 one he has as he was hit when he was thrown. 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.799 But it's been very rare that he's been hit, he's 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.000 had some clean pockets, he's been able to buy time. Well, 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.560 I mean the old line is probably the best in 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.880 the league, so that helps as well. You know, when 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.120 when things kind of break down, he has time to 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.360 kind of just sit in there and decipher what he 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.120 wants to do, whether he wants to take off or 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.400 you know, scrambling and look for the open receiver. So 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.640 having that old line really helps him out a lot. 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.920 You know, for us, it's just really just try and 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.240 trying to make them make quick decisions and get the 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.800 ball out quick. On our side of the ball, well, 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.920 I think I think it starts with with Ezekiel. You know, 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.200 they run the ball really well, as you guys all know. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.440 And then once once you run the ball that well, 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.440 it's going to open up the passing gain that will 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.840 wrap things up here from the Novacare Complex. So you 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.280 can check out all of our locker rooms sound on 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.720 demand right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:13.280 official Eagles mobile app. Thank you so much, Alex. We've 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.960 got a lot to get to on the show today. 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.320 A progress report on a special team player who was 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.320 honored this week and who's also making contribution as a 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.880 wide receiver. We'll look back in time, a beautiful time 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.560 when the Eagles were all over Troy Aikman pounded him 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.120 into the ground. Do you remember that game? Eleven sacks 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:35.240 for the Eagles, and then Glenn's gonna get bold and 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.120 beautiful in just a bit when we return though, too. 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:42.120 Eagles three sixty. We're talking defense with safety Rodney McLeod. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:57.840 How did the Eagles stop Dallas on Sunday night? Are 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.840 you here to buy the tickets?

You're all right, eximply right checking from 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:25.920 the sonton their bank. Well, the Eagles felt they got 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.039 it right in the spring when they added Rodney McCloud 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.440 via free agency to team with Malcolm Jenkins, and so 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.560 far in six games, Eagles have certainly gotten it right 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.920 at the safety positions. We welcome Rodney McLoud into the studio. Rodney, 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.479 it seems to have gone really well with you and Malcolm. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.760 You used to feel that way. Yeah, man. It's obviously 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.160 been a good start to the season. You know, obviously 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.559 had a couple of lapses of the past two games, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.320 but for the most part since OTAs and things, we've 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.080 been building chemistry and you know, you just see an 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.320 inform right now. So it has been great planning alongside Jenkins. 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.560 How do you form chemistry? How do you form trust? 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.560 How do you form that that Union back there. Um, 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.760 you know, I mean from just getting to know one another. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.320 But it always helps when you got a guy like 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.720 him and myself. Uh, you know, two smart players kind 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.640 of see the game alike. Um, come from familiar backgrounds 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.640 like far as, Greg Williams and uh, you know, just 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.880 just having a right mindset, man, and not being too 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.440 prideful and just just one to work beside one another. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.280 So it's great, man. I think we feed off each other. 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.240 We can pete with one another, and you know it's 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.440 a great bond on and off the field. Ny, what 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.800 do you think are the physical characteristics that you need 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.640 to be a great safety in the league at a 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.520 position that's really changed so much over the years. Yeah, 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.320 you know, you got all different types of safeties. Uh. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.680 You know, I think you have to be smart. Uh, 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.400 you got to be a shirt tackler, whether it's open 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.320 field or or being at that angel back there, um, 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.280 whatever it is. You know, receivers are so dynamic nowadays 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.520 and running backs, Um, you have to be able to 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.600 cover tight ends are flexing out. You know, you see 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.760 it each every week. So it's not like the old school. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.520 You know, just line up and they're gonna run the ball. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.200 It's literally nowadays games it's changed, spreading things out, playing 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.560 in space, and you know me and James both have 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.080 corner background, so that helps us out a lot. The 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.360 game on Sunday against minnesort of dominating performance, front to back, 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.440 back to front all over. What did that do for 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.400 this group as you've kind of spent the last couple 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.000 of days living the moment but also looking ahead to Dallas? 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.720 Oh yeah, man, I mean it was a great win. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.440 Uh No, better feeling they get it versus the Vikings 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.400 at home. Man, the crowd was into it from from 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.480 the first snap. But and we just fed off that. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.000 But it all started in practice, man, preparation, you know 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.079 how how we approached it, getting back to basics, fundamentals 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.920 and technique. We talked about it all week and the 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.240 showed on Sunday. So we're just trying to carry this 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.680 momentum into going into Dallas. Who's Who's another good team 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.320 and obviously a division opponent. Why are they so good offensively? 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.480 They leave the league in rushing, They got the big 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.839 offensive landing at days back. You got your hands full, yeah, man, 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.640 you know you hit You said it It all starts 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.840 up front, um, you know, the game's gonna be one 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.000 of the trenches. Uh. You know, our de line is 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.120 gonna be up for the challenge. Those guys's been doing 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.040 a good job over there, moving guys. Ezekiel Elliot has 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.520 been finding the hole and hitting it. Dak Prescott has been, 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.720 uh doing phenomenal and the way he's leading that group. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.920 So it's gonna be another big challenge for us. Man. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.600 But you know it is each and every Sunday, So 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.000 it's all about how we prepare and uh you know 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.040 how our mindset is going to that game. It's football 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.920 a big deal to you? Noah, I don't. I don't 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.600 look at it as a big deal. Um.

I saw him go off 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.640 the field on Sunday. I'm like, oh boy, all these 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:58.040 fantasy football owers are freaking out and yeah, yeah, well 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.520 hey man, if you play Antunior Brown, You'll shut him 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.280 down and be a winner and a loser.

I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.160 about this game. I'm feeling good about my predictions. Did 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.520 pretty well last week. Don't forget to mention that, Dave, 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.000 you did well last week. Thank you, Dave. Here you go. 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:58.440 Bold prediction number one. Although the Cowboys lead the league 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:03.000 in this stat the Eagles will win the time of possession, 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.680 and this is important. The Cowboys right now averaging thirty 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.760 three minutes eight seconds a game the Eagles time of possession, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.040 they're third in the league, which is pretty good at 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.280 thirty two sixteen. I think Doug Peterson knows that he's 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.280 going to have to dominate this. In order to win, 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.040 you got to keep the ball out of the Cowboys hands. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.880 That's basic. So the Eagles are gonna run some screens, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.120 They're gonna take up time between plays, they are going 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.280 to make a concerted effort, and I think they're going 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.360 to move the ball in the Cowboys win the time 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.720 of possession. You can beat the Cowboys, but win the 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.240 time of passion. I agree with you. I think that's 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.640 a really key statistic in this game. However, I will 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.200 say this, in the last three games without Lane Johnson, 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.160 maybe that's a coincidence, maybe it's not. The Eagles time 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.640 of possession has decreased an average of five and a 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.400 half minutes per game in those three games. So the 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.960 Eagles have not been able to sustain drives. In Washington. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:53.760 A lot of it was due to the defense not 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.400 getting off the field. But there's a difference here. You're right, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.800 without Lane Johnson, that's not a coincidence. But also, you 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.640 faced a Washington defensive line with Ryan carrog and you 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.920 faced a Minnesota defensive line that was good. Dallas's defensive 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.360 line they don't have those guys, all right, all right? 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:14.720 Number two, mark down Jordan Hicks for a dozen tackles 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.240 this weekend. He had a really good game against Minnesota. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.440 I think he had eleven. Let's give him one more. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.200 Rodney McCloud leads the Eagles and tackles. He's having a 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:24.840 great year. But you know, you don't want your safety 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.040 leading the team and tackles. You want your middle linebacker 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.800 to be that guy. It's gonna be his job to 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.840 stop Ezekiel Elliott coming through that second wave. I think 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.960 he's up to it. It's going to be the best 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.000 game of the year for Jordan Hicks, and if the 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.560 Eagles are gonna win, he's got to have a great year. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.960 Who had a great first half last year at at 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.200 and T Stadium, Remember the interception returned for a touchdown 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.400 later tourist pectoral muscle out for the season. Jordan Hicks 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.320 coming on, had his best game of the year against 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.760 the Minnesota Vikings. All right, number three, you're gonna like 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.840 this one, Okay. I picture this in my mind's eye. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.640 Game starts what a thirty so a figure. It's gonna 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.320 be ending close to midnight, Yes, right around that time, 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.440 as Philadelphia fans are sending their living rooms their bedroom 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.440 watching this thing. You will see on the sidelines Jerry 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.880 Jones standing there as he often does, and he's gonna 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.320 have the look of a man who just swallowed a 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.760 dozen bad clams. Okay, because he's gonna think the Cowboys 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.440 are gonna win. It's gonna be a very close game 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.080 down to the end. He likes to go down to 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.040 that sideline when he's feeling it, so a pained look 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.480 on his face, an unpleasant look on his face, look 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.120 of a good man who just had the game stolen 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.040 from him, the look of a man who looks like 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.040 he's had constipation for five years. That's the most comments. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.960 All right, Well that's three of them. Glenn's got two 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.680 more bold predictions, and they are bold for the kickoff show. 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.080 You can hear that, watch that, see that on Sunday 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.840 night right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thank you 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.120 very much, Glenn. Good job, Dave. Okay, let's get the 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:58.880 more here.

But when we returned 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.560 Eagles three sixty, we're gonna go back in our time vaults, 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.359 a time when the Eagles defense, the particularly the defensive line, 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:17.160 completely dominated the Dallas Cowboys. A little foreshadowing for Sunday night. 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.919 This portion of Eagles three sixty was presented by McDonald's 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.480 Mix and Match on McDonald's mcpick two for two dollars 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.440 and fifty cent menu now featuring filet o fish for 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:38.399 a limited time.

The Eagles and the Cowboys rivalry 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.040 a great one, right we all know that. Nineteen ninety 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.520 one the season It's our Old School All twenty two 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:30.240 Look Merrill Reese and Mike Quick the day the Eagles 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.560 buried Troy Aikman. Hire for one on Merril Reese Voice 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.000 the Eagles and Welcome to Old School All twenty two, 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.679 a unique look through coaching tape of a unique moment, 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.719 a special moment or play in Eagles history, and with 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.040 the Eagles in Dallas this week, Mike, what is better 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:53.280 remembered than nineteen ninety one when the Eagles sack Troy 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.040 Aikman eleven times? How do you do that with an 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.960 offensive line tackle quarterback eleven times? They got it done 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.040 and they just spread it around the entire team. But 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.159 it wasn't just how well the guys up front played 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.800 Troy Aikman had to hold onto the football because of 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.600 the coverage on the back end and allow those guys 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.919 to get hits on the quarterback. Let me show you 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.600 how well they covered on the back end that allowed 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:22.000 that defensive line to get eleven quarterbacks to set a 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:26.359 record on Troy Aikman. It's second and nine late in 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.640 the first quarter. The Eagles came out and played cover 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.160 two men with two safeties high and a deep part 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.480 of the field and straight man coverage across the board. 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.480 With sevent defenders in coverage, this leaves just the four 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:44.240 man rush, so the Eagles will relive on the front 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:48.560 floor to generate pressure. Troy Aikman takes the snap and 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.000 at the top of his drop he has absolutely nowhere 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.639 to go with the football but two safeties playing the 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.960 deep part of the field the man defenders playing tight, 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.080 aggressive coverage underneath, taking away to quick throws in the progression. 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.720 That's exactly what happens here, as Akerman is forced to 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:10.119 step up right into the waiting arms of Jerome Brown. 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:13.760 On the next play, the Eagles were at it again, 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.160 playing cover two men in the secondary with the foe 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.159 man rush. Again. Aikman drops back and he has nowhere 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.240 to go with the football, and Reggie White forces him 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.200 to the right and Clyde Simon takes him down from 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:31.080 behind for his second sack of the drive. On the 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:34.320 next series, Ekman drops back and, not wanting to get 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:37.520 crushed again, tried to force the throw to a slot 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.919 receiver down the seam on a vertical route, but with 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.840 the two safeties deep downfield, the pass turned into an 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.880 easy interception for rich beyond him. This is covered two 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.960 men at its best, as a four man rush forces 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.880 the quarterback to get rid of the football earlier than 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.480 he wants to, and a prowling safety takes advantage of 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.520 the errand pass. The Eagles defensive front gets a lot 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:07.919 of credit for this eleven sack performance, but don't forget 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.080 the secondary on the back end. Both facets of the 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.639 defense helped to lead that memorable game and one of 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:19.399 the toughest of Troy Aikman's career, as they sacked Troy 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.560 Aikman time after time and we started to count them nine, ten, eleven. 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:27.639 I remember saying, if this were a boxing match, it 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:31.760 should be stopped merrow top to bottom. That was an 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.439 outstanding defense. You look at the guys up front, and 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:36.440 they were certainly able to put a lot of pressure 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:39.440
