Speaker 1: Welcome everyone's Eagles three sixty Eagles insider Dave Spiderow along
Speaker 1: with Glenn mac now on this Thursday here at an
Speaker 1: overcare complex, and we have put Sunday squarely in the
Speaker 1: rear view mirror. Come on, I'm still in I'm still
Speaker 1: basking in the after glow vault, all right, and we
Speaker 1: look forward to to Monday night the Chicago Bears. And
Speaker 1: the question I have for my man Glenn mac now here. Yes,
Speaker 1: a win on Monday night means what in your opinion
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles. And win in Monday night means
Speaker 1: that you're really in contention for this division. And I
Speaker 1: know after two weeks. And now I'll tell you why, Dave,
Speaker 1: because we've watched the whole division. There's nobody's going to
Speaker 1: run away with this thing. If you can make this win,
Speaker 1: if you can win three or four of the six
Speaker 1: division games, if you can sneak in another couple of wins,
Speaker 1: get to eight, maybe get to nine, I think you
Speaker 1: are legitimate chance for this division. But this is one
Speaker 1: of those games spars, Aren't it terrible? But then that
Speaker 1: that good? This is one of those games you can
Speaker 1: win and legitimize yourself we're watching the standings already. I
Speaker 1: am either the Redskins or the Cowboys will be in two.
Speaker 1: That's correct, after this weekend. That'll be nice. So all right, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get some of these more bold predictions from
Speaker 1: Glenn mcnow a bit later in the show. We've also
Speaker 1: got a bit of a progress report on who else
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. First things first, though, we're gonna throw it
Speaker 1: out and get your caught up on everything happening today.
Speaker 1: A busy day for the Eagles and some injury concerns
Speaker 1: creeping in for this football team. Let's get your caught
Speaker 1: up on everything of the Eagles three sixty update with
Speaker 1: Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith here with your
Speaker 1: three sixty update. The Eagles continue their preparation here at
Speaker 1: the Novacare Complex as they get set for week two's
Speaker 1: Monday night matchup with the Chicago Bears. But the Eagles
Speaker 1: also welcomed back to one of their own today as
Speaker 1: long snapper John Durham Boss returned from out West where
Speaker 1: he was part of the America's Got Talent finale, where
Speaker 1: he finished in third place. Talking in the locker room today,
Speaker 1: Durham Boss said that Win or Lose. He enjoyed the
Speaker 1: experience that he got to put forward on the show
Speaker 1: Win or Lose. I kind of look back on it,
Speaker 1: and I don't think I would have changed one thing
Speaker 1: about what I did, what I said, any of my acts.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of it. And you know they said it
Speaker 1: came down to one percent, so we were all on
Speaker 1: the running there and it was unbelievable experience. I'm glad
Speaker 1: I did it, and I'm glad the city loved it.
Speaker 1: And we see what's next. Looking ahead to Monday night,
Speaker 1: perhaps the biggest threat on the Chicago Bears offense is
Speaker 1: wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey. Inside the Eagles locker room, we
Speaker 1: caught up with Ron Brooks and Leotis McKelvin to get
Speaker 1: their thoughts on slowing down the Bears receiver. I can't
Speaker 1: take anything away from Alsh and he's a great athlete,
Speaker 1: very long guy. He has a big catching radius, and
Speaker 1: you just gotta go out and didn't play hard and
Speaker 1: make sure you are try to strip him down as
Speaker 1: much as you can. You know you're not gonna make
Speaker 1: every play, but try to limit his place. Being able
Speaker 1: to understanding, standing toughing in the pocket, you know, being
Speaker 1: able to throw it to a spot well and you'd
Speaker 1: be canted. And I mean he does a great job
Speaker 1: before us, like going up and get the ball. So
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's one of his big assets of
Speaker 1: the game. And finally, it's not every day that the
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America gives a shout
Speaker 1: out to your quarterback. But that's exactly what happened earlier
Speaker 1: this week when President Obama mentioned that he may have
Speaker 1: to get on the one swagon after the rookie stellar
Speaker 1: debut against the Cleveland Browns, we caught up with Brandon
Speaker 1: Graham to get his thoughts on what that presidential shout
Speaker 1: out means to him. Rookies getting shout out from the president,
Speaker 1: you know, good or bad, don't matter. You know that
Speaker 1: you on his mind. And so it was kind of cool,
Speaker 1: you know, because there's a lot of guys that would
Speaker 1: probably never get a shout out from the president of
Speaker 1: less some draft to happen on the field. But I'm
Speaker 1: happy for him because you know, as a rookie, you
Speaker 1: want to come in and improve and improve and get better,
Speaker 1: and you obviously you want to catch him eyes. And
Speaker 1: he caught the president even though he's a Chicago fan.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we gotta go out there and
Speaker 1: do what we do against him, and maybe he might
Speaker 1: say something back. Who knows, you know, have a little fun.
Speaker 1: It's all fun game. I guess we'll find out after
Speaker 1: Monday Night's game whether or not the President does indeed
Speaker 1: join in on that wentzwagon. You can hear from Wentz himself.
Speaker 1: You can catch the entirety of his press conference from
Speaker 1: earlier today along with all of our locker rooms sound
Speaker 1: right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the Official
Speaker 1: Eagle's mobile app. Thank you so much, Alex, Now Glenn,
Speaker 1: if Zackers doesn't play and if Leodis McKelvin doesn't two
Speaker 1: starters down, Yeah, what's the impact. Well, the impact I
Speaker 1: think in the secondary is a little more troublesome because
Speaker 1: you're not that deep there. You're gonna really be relying
Speaker 1: on a seventh round draft pick to come in and
Speaker 1: play very well, and that's a little bit sketchy. I
Speaker 1: feel better about tight end because you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of depth there and I do trust the veteran very
Speaker 1: very much, and so I think they'll be okay there.
Speaker 1: You saw Doug Peterson really distribute the ball a lot.
Speaker 1: Last week, Bret Sellek just becomes part of that mix
Speaker 1: and they'll be okay there. A bit later in the show,
Speaker 1: Glenn will offer some more of his bold predictions. We
Speaker 1: go behind enemy lines to find out more about the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. But when we return to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: exciting the rookie, the kid, the franchise, the leader in
Speaker 1: the NFL in Jersey sales. This week, quarterback Carson Wentz

Speaker 1: Wentz coming off a terrific performance against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on that. I know we're all onto the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: Carson kind of put into perspective what it's been like
Speaker 1: these last couple of weeks. Yeah, you know, it was
Speaker 1: kind of a whirlwind. You know, obviously here in the
Speaker 1: news and then being named the starter and everything. A
Speaker 1: lot of preparation went into the week, you know, not
Speaker 1: only just in the film room, which was normal, but
Speaker 1: you know, getting some timing down that I had lost
Speaker 1: with guys for the first or excuse me, the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of the preseason. But it was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. You know, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed
Speaker 1: the process. Went out on Sunday and you know, we
Speaker 1: played well and we got the win. I know you
Speaker 1: are completely focused on Chicago, but if I could just
Speaker 1: ask you what you saw on film when you were
Speaker 1: watching it, what you liked and things that you maybe
Speaker 1: want to work on. Yeah, you know, we had guys
Speaker 1: making plays. You know, that was good to see. We
Speaker 1: had some receiver step up. You know, Nelson made the
Speaker 1: really good play on the touchdown. And we had guys
Speaker 1: making plays. But you know, we still left some plays out. There,
Speaker 1: still some things left that we got to just correct
Speaker 1: and some issues. But you know we're we're ironing that
Speaker 1: out and we you know, it's it's a process. It's
Speaker 1: a long season. So it's a long career too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a long week to week. Yeah. But for you though,
Speaker 1: this week has been pretty extraordinary. I mean, the jersey
Speaker 1: sales go to number one. President Obama gives you a
Speaker 1: shout out to everybody to get on the Wentz wagon.
Speaker 1: What do you think about all that? You know, it's
Speaker 1: just it kind of is what it is it's cool,
Speaker 1: it's exciting. I know a lot of people back home
Speaker 1: we're kind of hitting me up and be like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool, and I'm just like, it's it's cool.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, we're so wrapped
Speaker 1: up and preparing for Chicago, so um, yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: kind of you gotta get used to some of that stuff.
Speaker 1: I know you've talked about blocking out all the noise.
Speaker 1: How hard is that in today's day and age where
Speaker 1: there is so much information available to you. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I've I've gotten pretty good at it. You know, you're
Speaker 1: so busy, you're so consumed with with preparing and getting
Speaker 1: ready that you know, you don't read a lot of
Speaker 1: the stuff. You don't hear a lot of stuff, and
Speaker 1: if you do, you just, um, it's kind of relevant
Speaker 1: whether it's good or bad, you know, because your sole
Speaker 1: focus is the next week, and all that really matters
Speaker 1: is the opinions of the guys in this locker room
Speaker 1: and in this organization and the coaches. You know, Carson,
Speaker 1: we talked about in the summer having Doug Peterson who
Speaker 1: played quarterback, and Frank Wright who played quarterback, and Flip
Speaker 1: who played quarterback. How has that benefited your your rise here?
Speaker 1: It's been unbelievable, you know, coming in and like you
Speaker 1: just mentioned, those three with the knowledge they have at
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, has helped me tremendously to grow. And um,
Speaker 1: ever since day one when I when I got here
Speaker 1: in the spring, you know, and then you know, Sam
Speaker 1: was very helpful, Chase has been very helpful, you know,
Speaker 1: UM learning the offense. It's really just helped my help
Speaker 1: me speed along this process pretty quickly. Have you ever
Speaker 1: thought about that being a big part of your development
Speaker 1: back when you were kind of, you know, preparing for
Speaker 1: the draft, how vital it would be to have a
Speaker 1: coaching staff that really understood this position. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: everyone talks about the development of young quarterbacks. And I
Speaker 1: knew when I had met the Eagles organization and this staff,
Speaker 1: I knew this would be a great fit. I knew
Speaker 1: it'd be a great place for young quarterback to come
Speaker 1: in and learn and um get some really good mentors
Speaker 1: and coaching and UM and that's what what I've gotten
Speaker 1: so far. You've also got your brother here, his wife,
Speaker 1: got a couple of former teammates here with CJ. And
Speaker 1: Andrew has that helped. Yeah, you know, especially having my
Speaker 1: brother and his wife here, just you know, some familiar
Speaker 1: faces helped me out with family things and just you know,
Speaker 1: help me out with some off the field things. Um,
Speaker 1: obviously having Andrew Bonnet and c. J. Smith here has
Speaker 1: been really cool. You know. Um, it's all it's different,
Speaker 1: but it's all there's still some familiar faces, which which
Speaker 1: definitely helps. Carson. How critical is it that you know
Speaker 1: you're you're spending time in the film room and do
Speaker 1: you enjoy it? Number one? How much time do you
Speaker 1: put into Fans have no idea what goes on between
Speaker 1: you know, Monday in the next week. Yeah, there's a lot.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of time in the film
Speaker 1: room early morning, some late nights. Um, it's just part
Speaker 1: of it. You know, it's part of being a student
Speaker 1: of the game and preparing and um, and I love it,
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, it's it's being a student
Speaker 1: of the game. It's understanding you know, you want to
Speaker 1: be out there on Sundays, Um, being able to dissect
Speaker 1: things that you've already seen and so so it's just
Speaker 1: all part of it. You know, you put in your time,
Speaker 1: but um, it's definitely worth it, and I enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Were you a kid who watched Monday night football a lot? Yeah? Always, yeah,
Speaker 1: Monday night football was was always exciting. And I know
Speaker 1: that you were Brett Farve fan right like growing up.
Speaker 1: I know, so people have said you they remind you
Speaker 1: of Brett Farve or you remind them of Brett Farve.
Speaker 1: So it's got to feel kind of cool to hear that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's cool. Yeah, but I still got a lot,
Speaker 1: I still got a logic, I still got a lot
Speaker 1: to prove, you know, I got a long way. So
Speaker 1: it's cool. I mean, it is what it is, but
Speaker 1: you know, I got a lot, a lot of work
Speaker 1: to do. It's so impressive that you really are. And
Speaker 1: I talked to Flip about it yesterday, and we talked
Speaker 1: to Doug about it earlier week. You really literally you
Speaker 1: really do block it out. It's not just chit chat.
Speaker 1: I mean you really believe in it. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you got it. You can't get too consumed, you know,
Speaker 1: like you mentioned earlier, Hopefully it's a long career, god willing,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it's a it's a long journey,
Speaker 1: it's a long process. So it's just you gotta take
Speaker 1: it one day at a time and keep getting better.
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears on Monday Night, What do you see from
Speaker 1: that defense? Um, you know, I I see some some
Speaker 1: good things. Um, I see some things where we can
Speaker 1: areas we can attack. But you know it'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: You know, we're just in the beginning of the prepperration. So, um,
Speaker 1: we got to dive into it some more. But you know,
Speaker 1: they'll they'll create some some issues, I think, and um,
Speaker 1: we just gotta be ready for of corson What what
Speaker 1: did Sunday do in terms of just you go out
Speaker 1: there and you won an NFL game? What does that
Speaker 1: do for you? Just from a mental standpoint? It was
Speaker 1: it a big deal? Yeah, you know, I mean it
Speaker 1: gave me a lot of confidence, especially you know that
Speaker 1: first drive going down and scoring right away. Um, gave
Speaker 1: me a lot of confidence. Having coach Peterson, you know,
Speaker 1: call that that fourth and four, having the confidence in me. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just really going to just help me just be
Speaker 1: more and more confident as the season goes. Was there
Speaker 1: a favorite throw that you had when you watch the film? Um,
Speaker 1: I mean the first touchdown pass, just getting that one
Speaker 1: out of the way and hooking up with with Jordan
Speaker 1: was was pretty exciting. I know that place was rock
Speaker 1: and I was pretty exciting. I was a little nervous.
Speaker 1: I thought he was about to throw the ball into
Speaker 1: the stands, but um, you know that it was Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was made me a little nervous. But uh no,
Speaker 1: that that one was pretty exciting. And the way the
Speaker 1: team has responded to you. And do you feel that
Speaker 1: that kind of game really Hey, maybe maybe they were
Speaker 1: taking a peek and seeing what the rookie could do
Speaker 1: that kind of day. Wow, this guy can play. Well,
Speaker 1: we've seen it at first time you're in a regular side.
Speaker 1: He can really play. Has that you've gotten that sense
Speaker 1: from the rest of the guys. Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 1: think the guys have had confidence in me, you know,
Speaker 1: even going back for a while now. So I felt
Speaker 1: very comfortable with that. But I think obviously anytime you
Speaker 1: can go out on a Sunday and kind of prove
Speaker 1: yourself and show what you can do, I think just
Speaker 1: only instills more more and more confidence from your teammates.
Speaker 1: Having fun, having a lot of fun. Great, well that's
Speaker 1: a good deal. That's what we want to hear, Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: We know you're busy. Thanks so much for joining us

Speaker 1: insider Glenn macnow my trustee sidekick on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Speaker 1: here for Eagles three sixty. Last week, Glenn offered his
Speaker 1: bold predictions looking ahead toward the entire twenty sixteenth season. Today,
Speaker 1: for the first time, we're going to do it on
Speaker 1: a game by game basis. I enjoy it because I
Speaker 1: think Glenn's wrong most of the time. But we sure
Speaker 1: have a lot of thing bolts, the Eagles and the Bears.
Speaker 1: What do you got here? You got number one. You're
Speaker 1: gonna like most of these Number one. Nelson agol I
Speaker 1: had a very good open or four catch of sixty
Speaker 1: four yards. Maybe discovered himself, maybe found something with a quarterback.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to have a bigger game. Five
Speaker 1: catches one hundred yards day, and let's put him down
Speaker 1: for another touchdown. That one two move he put on
Speaker 1: on that thirty five yard touchdown pass was really impressive.
Speaker 1: He's got the speed. I think he needs the confidence.
Speaker 1: Maybe we saw some of that and that was Joe Hayden.
Speaker 1: He beat. That was no bum. He beat for that touchdown.
Speaker 1: That was an all Pro defensive backs. I think your
Speaker 1: keyword there was confidence and that kind of game and
Speaker 1: that kind of catch and that big play at that
Speaker 1: moment really can help a young player like Nelson Agilore, who,
Speaker 1: let's face it, struggled so much in the preseason, a
Speaker 1: lot of fans wondering about Aglare and his role on
Speaker 1: his football team. Will Nelson bows back with game number one.
Speaker 1: The key to a really good player, though in the
Speaker 1: NFL is doing it on a week by week basis.
Speaker 1: So up next for Nelson the Chicago Bears secondary, which
Speaker 1: we'll find out is not all that strong. Is not
Speaker 1: all that strong? No, all right, here you go number two.
Speaker 1: You know the Bears are going to try to pressure
Speaker 1: Wentz a lot, he's a rookie quarterback and try to
Speaker 1: send people at him from all angles. He doesn't have, course,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have zach Ertz. As we discussed, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be looking for a safety valbum maybe maybe this week
Speaker 1: at Darren Sprowles. Sprowles had kind of a mixed game
Speaker 1: last week. Was good on the punt returns, blocked really
Speaker 1: well and pass coverage, but he dropped a few passes.
Speaker 1: He rushed five times for twelve yards. I think he's
Speaker 1: going to have a big game, and part of it
Speaker 1: is this. One of the Bears linebackers is a gentleman
Speaker 1: named Jarrell Freeman. He used to play for the Colts.
Speaker 1: Remember the Monday Night game. Seven catches one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty two yards that night for Darren Sprowles, mostly against
Speaker 1: Gerald Freeman. If the Eagles can match him up, that's
Speaker 1: a very favorable matchup. I see Sprowles stats rebounding this
Speaker 1: week for a good week, and I agree with you
Speaker 1: on that, Glenn, and I think this week is a
Speaker 1: telling game for Doug Peterson and for Frank Reich. As
Speaker 1: you mix up your game plan, as you find favorable matchups,
Speaker 1: and you possibly don't have Zach Ertz, well, who do
Speaker 1: you turn to. Darren Sproles may have had his worst
Speaker 1: game as an Eagle from the line of scrimmage on
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. That's not going to happen
Speaker 1: two weeks in a role, two weeks in a row.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think the role increases for Sprowles
Speaker 1: this week. It likes to disagree with your auditions. These
Speaker 1: are shake check. Yeah, number three. SAT Day, Baby, It's
Speaker 1: gonna be sack day. Chicago Bears gave up five sacks
Speaker 1: last week to Houston. Huson's got a nice defensive line,
Speaker 1: but they gave up five sacks. The Bears middle of
Speaker 1: the line looks pretty good, their tackles are very weak.
Speaker 1: Three sacks or more from the Eagles defensive ends this week.
Speaker 1: I told you one of my bold predictions to start
Speaker 1: the season is you're going to get a combination of
Speaker 1: a minimum of thirty from the defensive ends this year.
Speaker 1: You got two week one. I'm off to a good star.
Speaker 1: You are, They're off to a good start. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just watching it. And now now they'll have three this week. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think the flow of the game will dictate that.
Speaker 1: The Bears obviously don't want Jay Cutler in trouble. They
Speaker 1: know that he can be a turnover machine when he
Speaker 1: has pressured. The Eagles know that they have to pressure
Speaker 1: because the secondary faces a really difficult matchup Al Shan
Speaker 1: Jeffrey and Kevin White and Eddie Royal and if if
Speaker 1: Color has time to throw the football could be really
Speaker 1: tough for the Eagles in the secondary. So I agree
Speaker 1: with you in a sense of a lot of pressures.
Speaker 1: I just think that hang on, I just saying color.
Speaker 1: I think I think the eating for Cutler this week
Speaker 1: is to get rid of the football and avoid the sax. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got hit thirteen times last week. He doesn't only
Speaker 1: get hit thirteen times on Monday night. Good luck, good
Speaker 1: good stuff, Glenn. Predictions from Glenn Mcnow we'll do it
Speaker 1: every Thursday. Here on Eagles three sixty. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot more to get to here on Eagles three sixty.
Speaker 1: Up next, a look at the Chicago Bears behind enemy lines.

Speaker 1: three sixty David Glenn Here. Time now to go behind
Speaker 1: enemy lines. Chris McPherson Jeff Dickerson from ESPN in Chicago
Speaker 1: talking about the O and one Chicago Bears. Hello everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Chris McPherson and it's time to go behind enemy lines,
Speaker 1: presented by Datorade Here on Philadelphi Eagles dot com. The
Speaker 1: Eagles travel to the Windy City for a Monday night
Speaker 1: matchup with the Bears, and the breakdown the matchup we
Speaker 1: bring in Jeff Dickerson ESPN, NFL Nature, where you can
Speaker 1: fomb on Twitter at Dickerson ESPN. Jeff Person, I want
Speaker 1: to ask you, is this Carson when Mania has taken
Speaker 1: over Philadelphia. What do the Bears have in store for
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback? You know, Chris, I think it'll be
Speaker 1: a step up in competition for Wentz. I watched, you know,
Speaker 1: the game after we got back from Houston the other night,
Speaker 1: and Wentz looked great. But it was against the Browns,
Speaker 1: and you have to preface that. At against the brown
Speaker 1: the Bears are not an elite team by any means,
Speaker 1: but defensively, they think that's going to be the strength
Speaker 1: this year. They've got a really good defensive coordinator in
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio. He's been around forever, so scheme wise, they're
Speaker 1: always prepared. They got a little bit of a pass
Speaker 1: rush on brock Osweiler from guys like Leonard Floyd and
Speaker 1: Akiem Hicks and Eddie Goldman and Danny Trevathan. So my
Speaker 1: assumption will be they will try to pressure Wentz in
Speaker 1: the pocket on Monday Night. But you know, the Bears
Speaker 1: weakness is that secondary. They had some young guys step
Speaker 1: up and play okay in Week one, Jacobe Glenn, Bryce
Speaker 1: Kella Hand. One of their starting cornerbacks, Kyle Fuller's been
Speaker 1: out with the knee injury. He had a scope a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. He's not ready to come back yet.
Speaker 1: They've had some real underwhelming play from their safeties Adrian Amos,
Speaker 1: Harold Jones, Quartees. They're strong safety. He's actually been the
Speaker 1: best defensive back in my opinion this summer. The physical guy,
Speaker 1: he loves the hit. He plays downhill. But if Wins
Speaker 1: can get some time in the pocket, he could probably
Speaker 1: make some things happen down the field. But I know
Speaker 1: the Bears will try to be relentless, you know, with
Speaker 1: the pressure and try to lean on the fact that
Speaker 1: they're at home, it's the primetime game, and the Bears
Speaker 1: Chris will have a desperation about them. I know that
Speaker 1: you know, going oh and two doesn't mean your seasons over,
Speaker 1: but we all know the numbers. If you start oh
Speaker 1: in two, it's very hard to come back and win
Speaker 1: a playoff spot. The Bears probably aren't a playoff team,
Speaker 1: but they don't want to begin owen two, especially with
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback on the schedule coming up now. On
Speaker 1: the outside of the Bears offense, jeff Alshon Jeffrey was tremendous.
Speaker 1: Four catches, one hundred and five yards. You know, jumpball.
Speaker 1: Get help out Jay Color in any sort of circumstance.
Speaker 1: Will any of the other Bears receivers be available to
Speaker 1: help him out? Well? Eddie Royal had a pretty good
Speaker 1: game actually in Week one, and that's the first time
Speaker 1: that Bears fans have ever seen Eddie Royal to anything
Speaker 1: in a Bears uniform. He was hurt almost all of
Speaker 1: last season, missed the whole preseason because of a concussion.
Speaker 1: But keep in mind, this guy in twenty fourteen in
Speaker 1: San Diego had over sixty catches and seven hundred some
Speaker 1: odd receiving yards, so he's he's had a very good career.
Speaker 1: And he played with Cutler in Denver's rookie season in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight and he caught. So, I mean
Speaker 1: the track record is there for Eddie Royal, but Bears
Speaker 1: fans just haven't seen him do it on a consistent basis.
Speaker 1: I would think that he'll garner more attention this week
Speaker 1: from the Eagles, so it might be more difficult for
Speaker 1: Cutler to get him the football. Al Sean Jeffrey is
Speaker 1: the equalizer. I mean, really, he's a tough cover. His
Speaker 1: catch radius is so large that if the Bears put
Speaker 1: it up anywhere around him, he's probably going to make
Speaker 1: the play. And he's playing to get paid too, I mean,
Speaker 1: unless the Bears put the tag on him for a
Speaker 1: second straight year. You know, he wants to hit the
Speaker 1: market in the off season, so he's got every motivation
Speaker 1: to stay healthy and play well. The real wildcard is
Speaker 1: Kevin White, seventh overall pick in twenty fifteen, did not
Speaker 1: have a good NFL debut. He had a hamstring problem
Speaker 1: last week, so he was limited in practice. That did
Speaker 1: not help. Being a terrible miscommunication with Cutler on an
Speaker 1: interception and that was kind of the game right there.
Speaker 1: The Texans never looked back after that play. So does
Speaker 1: Cutler trust White yet? That remains to be seen. I mean,
Speaker 1: Kevin White's the number two receiver, so you would think
Speaker 1: that he'd get a lot of targets, but it didn't
Speaker 1: really happen in week number one. And we'll see with
Speaker 1: a full week of practice and now a healthy week
Speaker 1: of practice if him and Cutler can get on the
Speaker 1: same page. Because for the Bears offense to go where
Speaker 1: it needs to go, Kevin White's gonna be a big
Speaker 1: part of this. Jeff, My last question for you is this.
Speaker 1: You talked a lot about Cutler there. What have you
Speaker 1: seen from him this offseason in the beginning of twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen without Adam case there as the offensive coordinator helping
Speaker 1: him out. Yeah, I mean that's the question everyone has.
Speaker 1: He was Gaze the reason that Cutler played the way
Speaker 1: he played last year, and we just won't know. I
Speaker 1: thought he was okay on Sunday. I mean in the
Speaker 1: first half he was. He was very good. Then they
Speaker 1: started losing it and the protection broke down and it
Speaker 1: was just a free for all. I've covered Cutler every
Speaker 1: step of the way since two thousand and nine. I mean,
Speaker 1: as a guy, he's never going to change. But I
Speaker 1: think as a player he has matured. The older he's gotten,
Speaker 1: he has gotten a little smarter. But with Cutler, it's
Speaker 1: always about the buy in factor. Is he buying into
Speaker 1: what the offensive coordinator is doing. There was no doubt
Speaker 1: he brought into Adam Gates And why wouldn't you mean
Speaker 1: Adam Gase coach eight manning in Denver. I mean, Cutler
Speaker 1: would have been crazy not to listen to Adam Gate
Speaker 1: into his credit. He did, and he had a very
Speaker 1: good year. Dal OGINs is a little different. Doesn't have
Speaker 1: the kind of resume that Adam Gays has. You know,
Speaker 1: he called plays in Tennessee for like a year and
Speaker 1: a half. He was the quarterbacks coach last year. He
Speaker 1: does no color pretty well, they go back a lot
Speaker 1: of years. But does he had the same type of
Speaker 1: presence that Adam Gas and the same type of you know,
Speaker 1: experience and what Gays did so well as when Caylor
Speaker 1: would get himself in trouble during games last season, Gas
Speaker 1: was good enough to coach him out of it. So
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. I thought Color for the
Speaker 1: most part, you know, looked good when he wasn't on
Speaker 1: his back, you know, in week one, and if the
Speaker 1: protection is better, he always plays well on Monday night,
Speaker 1: and he usually plays pretty well against the Eagles, so
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff is looking for a pretty big
Speaker 1: game from their quarterback. Jeff Dickerson, ESPN, NFL Nation reporter

Speaker 1: on Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero Glenn mac Now on
Speaker 1: this Thursday from the novicare complex, many things to get
Speaker 1: to this week. We've got a long way to go before.
Speaker 1: I love Monday nights. I just don't like waiting for
Speaker 1: too long. It really, it really is. You gotta although
Speaker 1: it gives you the freedom and watch all the other
Speaker 1: games that's true. That's true. All right, So well, we
Speaker 1: know who we're watching this weekend. He is number eleven.
Speaker 1: His name is Carson Wentz, and he is the topic
Speaker 1: of this week's Progress Report with Ike Greece and Make
Speaker 1: Quick right. The Progress Report brings us to the rookie
Speaker 1: sensation Carson Wentz in his debut. Let's talk about a
Speaker 1: lot of nice things from the young guy. Let's take
Speaker 1: a look at his first touchdown here pre snap read.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm thinking he's seeing. He's seeing this safety
Speaker 1: here locked up one Dorio greenbackham on the outside. So
Speaker 1: what an empty backs Bill said. He knows that he's
Speaker 1: going to get a single high safety, so he's going
Speaker 1: to decide where he wants to go with this ball.
Speaker 1: Well in this safety is gonna tell him a whole lot.
Speaker 1: But I think already he sees this tight coverage right
Speaker 1: here between these two, and that's really an indicator that
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to get on top of that defender.
Speaker 1: And boy, oh boy, I don't know if you can
Speaker 1: place a ball any better than that over the outside shoulder,
Speaker 1: outstretched arms by Jordan Matthews. And what a great catch,
Speaker 1: What a great throw. What I love about this throw
Speaker 1: is that he throws it to a spot and allows
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews to basically run out of there and make
Speaker 1: the catch. He knows where he wants to throw this ball.
Speaker 1: He's just throwing it to the back of the end
Speaker 1: zone and Jordan's able to run right up on him
Speaker 1: and make the catch. Watch him here. I believe his
Speaker 1: best throw of the game by far. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: covered too here, so I believe this pre snap ring
Speaker 1: is once he sees his covered two, he knows he's
Speaker 1: not gonna come to this bunch set over here. He's
Speaker 1: looking at this backside again, Jordan Matthews, who's gonna be
Speaker 1: off here with a hard with a hard corner, and
Speaker 1: he's looking for this dig rob coming in behind. What's
Speaker 1: nice about this. In practice he was throwing the ball
Speaker 1: to this side, but he told Jordan during the game,
Speaker 1: if they take this away, I'm coming to you on
Speaker 1: the backside dig. He threw it to the front side
Speaker 1: in practice, but game time he wentn't right to Matthews
Speaker 1: on the dig route. Very successful. And you watch this
Speaker 1: from behind the line of scrimmers, I think you get
Speaker 1: a better appreciation of the throw and the catch. First
Speaker 1: of all, is good protection upfront. Gonna watch Darren spros here.
Speaker 1: It picks up the rusher coming off the edge. Now
Speaker 1: here's where Carson gonna take the next step in his progression.
Speaker 1: We'll see at some point he's gonna climb this pocket
Speaker 1: to get away from this rush. Make sure he doesn't
Speaker 1: take an unnecessary hit. But he sticks in there and
Speaker 1: makes the throw. Matt, that is a dime in between
Speaker 1: two defenders. And you're exactly right. The protection, especially from
Speaker 1: this angle, you can see it's so solid, and all
Speaker 1: he has to do on that first bounce step is
Speaker 1: just move a little bit forward and it makes it
Speaker 1: an easier, cleaner pocket. Yeah, and that's gonna come with
Speaker 1: more and more playing time. He only had thirty nine
Speaker 1: snaps in the preseason. This is his first game. He'll
Speaker 1: get ahold of that. Now, all right, take a little
Speaker 1: here in the red zone. Again, we're talking about the
Speaker 1: magic ration process of Carson Wentz. Not a ton of
Speaker 1: snaps in the preseason. These are things that he's gonna
Speaker 1: get a better field for the more and more that
Speaker 1: he plays. We got a combination route here on the
Speaker 1: backside between Josh Huff and Darren Spros coming out of
Speaker 1: the backfield. Ye. Now, if Carson is a little more patience,
Speaker 1: he's gonna see Huff beats his man on the seven
Speaker 1: route there. But more importantly, he's gonna get darren Spros
Speaker 1: coming in running the angle route. Both guys are wide open.
Speaker 1: I just think he didn't trust what he was saying
Speaker 1: and he sort of wanted to play before he needed to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this is gonna come in time. He's got You're right,
Speaker 1: he's got first of all, Huff right away, and you
Speaker 1: just let it go. Or if you're gonna wait because
Speaker 1: you won't do you like the matchup with Spros, You're
Speaker 1: still you've got to be ready and you gotta let
Speaker 1: it go. In time, all of these little things will
Speaker 1: work their way out. And here's the most important thing.
Speaker 1: Here is one thing to miss these open receivers. We
Speaker 1: can live with that. When he's escaping right here, we
Speaker 1: gotta throw this ball away. Thrown away. He basically puts
Speaker 1: himself in harm's way and takes a big unnecessary hit there. Again, Mike,
Speaker 1: with more rets, he'll become more comfortable and aware in
Speaker 1: that pocket, and no to get rid of football, great
Speaker 1: progress report on Wentz. We look forward to seeing him
Speaker 1: obviously on Monday night, his second test in his NFL career.
Speaker 1: So what's ahead for us? Let's take a look our
Speaker 1: Amrosso's on the Menu report. We've got the coordinator speaking
Speaker 1: tomorrow to the media. We've got a whole lot of
Speaker 1: things going on here. We've got crunch time with bo Allen,
Speaker 1: the hashtag athlete, the fullback. He is the fullback I know.
Speaker 1: And we've got some key matchups coming up from Monday
Speaker 1: night's football game. That's our am Rossos on the menu. Look,
Speaker 1: Amrosso's the reason Philly sandwiches are so famous. Some final thoughts, Glenn,
Speaker 1: since you're not gonna be around the rest of the weekend,
Speaker 1: you'll be hobnobbing with the elite. Nobody tell me that
Speaker 1: I really like their chances, And I think this seems
Speaker 1: got a very good opportunity to get off to two
Speaker 1: and oh. You're playing a team that I think fits
Speaker 1: the Eagles strengths. And if they start two and oh,
Speaker 1: they're in the division. And that's a lot more than
Speaker 1: people maybe we're thinking about for this season started. Is
Speaker 1: that more than what you were thinking about before the
Speaker 1: season started to be honest, Dave, my prediction was six wins.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean you can't just move off it
Speaker 1: after one win. But if they win this week, I'm
Speaker 1: moving off a lot of us, a lot of downs
Speaker 1: in an NFL season, Glenn mcnow, Dave Spidero, we thank
Speaker 1: you for joining us here on Eagles three sixty. Everyone
Speaker 1: have yourselves, are great. Eagles Day.
