At the Novercare Complex, fifteen 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.919 year old cancer patient Colin Delaney prepped for his appearance 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.120 on NBC's Today's Show as part of it Together We 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.600 Make Football, feature Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and former 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.040 cornerback Troy Vincent on hand as well. Delaney recently attended 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.640 a camp at the Ronald McDonald House, one of the 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.960 Eagles care community partners this season for Colin and his family, 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.040 a special experience. He was at practice on Thursday, met 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.200 his favorite player, with Shaun McCoy quarterback Nick Foles also 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.679 taking part in the football experience and calling in his family. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.559 Will be here on Sunday. Lincoln Financial Field, the site 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.720 of Football Night in America. If the Eagles and the Giants, 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.280 we welcome you to Eagles three sixty. Dave spidero bow 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.840 Wolf counting down the hours before kickoff, all the talk, 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.800 all the nonsense that's been going on this week, which 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.840 I think has kind of been overblown, which I think 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.080 it's fun. I mean, I've been part of the nonsense obviously, 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.199 but it's fun. It's fun to make fun of the Giants, 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:28.880 it's fun to hype up the game. This is a 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.280 game that's going to be great and hotly contested, why 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.800 not build it up. I'm with you, I think a 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.440 football from a football standpoint, I just think that that's 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.120 the part that I'm really interested in. The talk has 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.880 really been mild compared to years. It's been mild. The 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.360 media's drummed it up. But Bradley Cooper adding to the 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.360 fun a little bit absolutely and making news up in 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.120 New York. It has been an eventful week for the Eagles, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.080 and will take a look ahead with South Palantonio who 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.880 joins us in studio. Vinnie Curry also joining us in 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.120 studio today. But first let's gets caught up everything that's 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.040 happened here at an overcare complex. There's the Eagles prepared 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.280 for this NFC showdown, our week in review presented by 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:13.240 Gatorade The Ram fourth at thirteen. There goes Davis. He 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.280 lets it fly and it didn't complaint. The Eagles will survive, 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.000 you know. The positive is that we're working from a 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.000 situation where we're four in one trying to get better. 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.240 But as I said yesterday, four and one, one and 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.040 four doesn't mean that you don't address the problems that 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.640 you have. I need to play better. I want to 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.840 continue to play better. We're four and one team. We'll 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.600 get it fixed. The bigger picture here is just wins, 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.920 and right now we're four and one. You know, we'll 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.600 learn from this and we've on to the Giants. Hey, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.040 it was another great moment for special teams. We try 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.840 to help the you know, the defense and the offense, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.480 you know, getting good positions and exposed to plays have 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.440 been happening. It's just guys playing their technique properly and 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.320 playing it with fanatical effort. A kickoff return for a touchdown, 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.240 a pun return for a touchdown, and two blog punts 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.080 for touchdowns. It's it deserves a ton of per if 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.000 you're gonna be abandoned out big defense, Eagles are doing 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.360 a good job at least coming up big when it Matt. Now, 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.440 we're actually getting the quarterback hit and sacked and down 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.640 down and actually hit, sack and fumbling. That defensive front 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.480 and the way they've played has made it a lot 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.519 easier for the linebackers and also the secondary. Anytime we're 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.400 facing the Giants, I'm gonna always start with Brandon Boykin 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.560 in the slot versus Victor proves would be a key matchup. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.320 It is starting to feel a lot like a rivalry 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.120 with all this chatter. G anybody in the NFCS, whoever 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.400 you're playing, is always a rivalry, and especially the Giants 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.400 and the Eagles. I'm fired up. The Giants have won 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.440 three straight games. Something special especials night game. So you 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.160 gotta show up Sunday night. You got a black Sunday 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.080 thing going and be a physical game. You know, it's 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.760 like a havingweight boxings made the best man when we 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.400 expect the classic Philadelphia Eagles need a Giants physical, tough, 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.320 hard notes football game in the summer. So it's gonna 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.480 be big. The fans are gonna be ready. It's survival 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.600 of the fittest, none of this, none of that stuff. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.760 It's survived an advanced when the emphasis is winning each week. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:05.640 That's it, bottom line. Wait, don't three Well, certainly all 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.240 eyes on the Eagles and Giants on Sunday night in 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.520 primetime and Lincoln Financial Field. And one of the national 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.040 media members who's been here covering the game all week 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.400 in South Palestonio. You talk to him today, Yeah, Sala 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.279 is here for the big game and in the locker 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.880 room and really trying to take some different angles looking 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.040 at the Eagles and the Giants, and when we return 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.080 to Eagles three to sixty, we're gonna pin down sal 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.720 to make a prediction for this game and talk about 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.120 a Giant resurrection in New York from O and two 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.800 to three and two. How four real are the New 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:47.279 York Giants. Septa is the way to get to game. 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.520 I love taking the subway down there because I feel 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.880 like i'm you know, with all fans.

When 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.440 I was a little kid, I thought riding sept it 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.240 was just the thing. I thought. I'm on this big 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.200 piece of metal blazing down these tracks. There's people ringing 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.400 bells above me, there's honking going on, there's trees flying by. 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:22.200 It's fantastic. He is looking fine in the studio, Isney, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.799 Welcome to the studio. Here Dave Spidero with South Palestonia 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.720 of course at ESPN, looking beautiful. Brother. Well, you know, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.760 I try to get dressed up for your shelf. Yeah, 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.320 thank you. Sal of course is here at an overcare complex. 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.359 Big game on Sunday night, the Eagles and the Giants. 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.479 And to me, Sal, I'm you know, talking about this 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.320 all week. It's kind of the test for the Eagles. 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.120 It's been an uneven road to four and one, and 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.800 don't know what to make of this football team. I 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:49.400 think the Giants are a legitimately fine contender in the division. 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.480 You know, it's pretty interesting what's going on in the NFC. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.360 You have now two divisions where you have three teams 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.799 over five hundred, the NFC East and the NFC West. 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.440 So they play one another this year, and so far, 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.120 if you take the Rams out of the equation, the 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.040 NFC East is oh and four against the NFC West. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.560 So it's going to be a battle of attrition to 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.040 try to win this division. Not only are you playing 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.120 one another, you're playing Cowboys and the Giants. And both 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.280 the Cowboys and the Giants have righted their ship, specifically 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.640 on the offensive line, we think so far. I mean, 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.640 could this be a mirage? At this point? The Cowboys 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.040 have three first round picks, all playing well on the 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.320 offensive line. The Giants offensive line is better than it 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.160 was the last two years, much better. I just covered 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.960 the game Falcons against the Giants where they came back 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.720 in the second half. They were down twenty to ten 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.840 and they did it with ball control offense, with their 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.920 offensive line. The Eagles have been decimated in their offensive line, 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.160 but yah, still have to play the NFC West. You 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.520 gotta play each other, and you've got to play the 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.640 NFC West. It's survival of the fittest. Yeah, it's survived 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:02.000 and advanced. We just watched Chip Kelly's press conference. You 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:06.640 play each week to win that week, whatever it takes. Right, 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:08.760 people around he don't want to say, well, it's a 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.680 soft four and one. As Phil Simms said on the 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.680 Showtime Show, the Eagles are the most overrated number one 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:21.600 team in the NFS in a division. Fine, yeah, yeah, Okay, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.040 It's like, and you've been around here long. It's very 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.360 similar to some of those early Andy Reid years when 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.600 the Eagles won a lot of games. Maybe not as 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.600 convincingly as you wanted too early in the year, but 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.839 it doesn't matter. I can't even tell you what happened 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:34.360 three weeks ago in a game. All I know is 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.320 if the Eagles beat the Colts. If you remember the 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.360 Baltimore Ravens when they won the Super Bowl, they lost 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.719 three games in December. Yeah, yeah, So anyway, so let's 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.040 get to this game. Let's talk about this win one 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.640 game at a time. Here this week Eagles and the Giants. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.520 How did the Eagles win this game so well? Tamela, 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.480 tell me, if Demiko Ryans is playing in the game, 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.920 people play in scale. Okay, if Demiko Ryans is playing 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.840 in the game, because it looks like Michael Kendricks probably won't, right, 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.560 they really need Demigo Ryans to play in this football 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.560 game because On Williams, the rookie running back, is a 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.360 bull runner, and they're going to need somebody who can 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.360 tackle between the tackles. He's not very flashy. He does 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.319 have some explosiveness, but he will run through first contact. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.360 So I'm very impressed with him. I'm very impressed with 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.959 Odell Beckham Junior. Most of what they do is that 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.400 of a three wide receiver set with one back and 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.880 one tight end, and Eli Manning comes to the line 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.400 of scrimmage and he still has the past run option 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.720 at the line of scrimmage. If he likes what he 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.760 sees in the run game, he'll call it vice versa. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.480 So a lot of what they do from a matchup 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.960 standpoint is very vanilla, and they'll just try to beat 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.120 you with their personnel, and they're doing that in the 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.600 last three weeks. They're beating you with their personnel. Odell 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.920 Beckham Junior four catches in his debut, including the go 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.720 ahead touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons. I think it's really 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:01.640 incumbent upon this football team. He Eagles to challenge Victor 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.959 Cruz and O'Dell Beckham Junior challenged it because Ruben Randall's 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.120 not going to beat you in this football games. Two 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.520 touchdowns against Eagles last year in a game he did, 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.520 But in this particular game, they're gonna rely more specifically, 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.840 I think on Cruise and Odell Beckham Junior and Larry Dennelle. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.160 Is also a tough matchup in the red zone, right 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.679 the rookie shut out last week against Atlanta. I look 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.200 at the Eagles offense. That's where I want to focus 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.439 right now. The last couple of minutes here Eagles offense 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.560 against the Giants defense that I guess I wasn't that 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.240 sold on them early in the year. They've gotten a 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.680 bit healthier. John Beason a question mark DRC A question 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.240 mark Eagles offense has been up and down. Your take 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.400 on that matchup, well, it's going to be a problem 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.719 until Evan Massi, Evan Mathis and Jason Kelsey come back, 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.560 which is the Monday night game against Carolina. Yep. I 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.839 think it's still going to be an issue blocking up front. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.559 I think they've just lost their identity as a as 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:59.839 a unit and they're starting to get their sea legs back. Now, 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.959 these guys who have subbed on the offensive line, this 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.000 is now their second full week together, we should see 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:09.000 an improvement in blocking. Don't forget everybody wants to come 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.839 down on Nick Foles. Please, am I looking at this camera, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:17.480 Please stop crucifying Nick Foles. DeShawn Jackson's playing in Washington. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:22.240 You've had decimated injuries have decimated your offensive line. As 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.800 Pat Schermer said yesterday, teams are playing you differently because 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.439 the Eagles have different personnel. The Shawn McCoy's after his 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:36.560 slowest start of his career. Okay, has Foles missed some receivers, Yes, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.840 but you put everything else into the equation, and the 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.319 fact that he has a bruised left shoulder. I don't 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.320 think that's a factor. I do. I think he's a 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.240 little bit gun shy and doesn't want to get hit. 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.760 That's not That's why he's not setting his feet straight 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.560 un passes. I think he's a little bit gun shy. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.600 So that's the one criticism I will have of Nick Foles. 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.600 Who wins the game and how does it go down? 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:02.120 But please please stop hammering Foals. I think it's the 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.840 whole me it all. Look at me. I am a 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.040 big Foles backer and supporter. I think the Giants are 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.120 gonna win the game. And I rarely pick against the Eagles. 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.280 I am loath to do it. Why like the players 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.720 have to walk into the locker room all the time. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.600 I live around here. When I pick against the Eagles, 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.320 it's it's big news. People want to know. I think 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.400 the Eagles are gonna lose this game. I think the 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.800 Giants are gonna score too many points. I think it's 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.080 gonna be thirty one twenty seven. Well, we were so 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.080 happy to have South Pountonio in the studio. I'm not 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.839 so sure right now. We do.

Time to dig 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.200 in a little bit, one of the young Eagles who 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:00.280 we expect his responsibilities to grow. That's certainly right. With 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.800 Chris Polk banged up, it looks like the rookie third 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.440 round pick Josh Huff is probably going to handle the 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.400 primary kickoff return duties on Sunday Night. Of course, he 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.920 had that return for a touchdown in the preseason, played 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.560 his first game last week to get his feet with 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:14.480 could be a big role for him on Sunday Night, 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.080 and so let's do it now. It's crunch time with 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.160 Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff the Loo Eagles Bands. I'm 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.160 Chris McPherson and welcome to this week's lays Kell Cook 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.040 Presents Crunch Time and our special guest is rookie wide 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.000 receiver Josh Hoff. And Josh we have the Hall Hanger 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.160 chips and you said before the segment, this is your 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.640 favorite flavor. Yes, definitely see you gotta get that right 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.440 off the bat here. Josh made your NFL debut last 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.320 week in the win over Saint Louis. You're in cash 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.760 for four yards. How exciting was it to finally get 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.800 out there on the field. It was definitely excited. Um, 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.920 just being able to get out there and get my 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.800 feet with and just get a ball and get that confidence, 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.760 you know, and get things rolling and just getting my 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.960 feet wet with the handful of players I got And 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.360 I'm just looking forward to, you know, continue on and 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.720 taking each week and just punching it. What's it been 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.200 like watching these special teams the first couple of weeks 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.360 of the season. It seems like touchdown after touchdown a 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.640 week and a week out for a unit that doesn't 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.480 usually produce that many points. It's been satisfied, honestly, but 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.400 it makes us want more. It makes us more hungry. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.640 You know. We practiced that each and every day. We 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.080 rep it until we can't rep it no more. Go 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.720 back to the preseason opener, you were able to take 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.680 a kick off back to the house for a touchdown. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.040 What was that like that in your first preseason game 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:32.920 you had that kind of impact. I mean it was 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.000 definitely excited and just going back as a young kid, 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.560 you know, always envised myself doing something like that, and 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.240 to finally had it happened in my first preason in 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.640 the game, my first NFL game ever. It allowed me 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.760 to gain a streme amount of confidence and just go 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:56.000 forward and just go all out. And unfortunately I got 0:16:56.040 --> 0:17:01.080 injured the week after. And it just know, it made 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.919 me reevaluate life, made me reevaluate football. What were some 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:06.359 of the things that you learned during that time of 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.159 way if you were reevaluating someone. I mean just you know, 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:11.840 when I first came in, I was just going to 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.160 full speed, full speed, full speed, and not really playing 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:19.159 attention to you know, the details. The NFL is really 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:25.560 a detailed sport. And to have that much time, it's 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.840 that much time, you just see so much things. You 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.040 should just say, you just see so many things that 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.360 you didn't see when you was really you know, practicing 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.439 and playing and stuff like that. So the things that 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.000 I learned was, um, you know, you don't have to 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.320 always go full throttle when you run a route. You 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.040 gotta really understand the type of player you're playing. You 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.080 gotta understand what's this Tennessee and stuff like that. And 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.640 you know, you just gotta understand where it's the defender, 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.959 where did you leave the defender and stuff like that. 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.840 So UM, I was able to gain confidence that way, 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.800 and with Matt me being behind Mac, I was able 0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:59.840 to learn from him. Do you think they'll make your 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.840 player in those long run having that time to step back? Yeah, 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.840 most definitely. Um And UM, you know I had to 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.240 talk with Chip Um, I think before we took off 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.720 to fly to San Francisco, and You're just like, I 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.159 know you want to play. I know what type of 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.399 competitor you are. I know what type of player you are, 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.520 but I want you to be one hundred percent healthy. 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.080 I want you to do the things that I know 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.320 you can do. No, Chip Kelly, everyone knows what your 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.960 college coaches, was your coach down the NFL. What has 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.920 he meant to you not only as a coach but 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.320 a father figure off the field as well. He's definitely 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:33.520 meant a lot to me. Um, you know, he teaches 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:37.720 you life life lessons more than he teaches you football lessons. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.280 And that's that's that's saying a lot because you know, 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:45.480 you look at our recordecys four on one, whether it's 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.320 a software one or a hard forum, where we stick together, 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.520 stick together as a team, because as a brotherhood, because 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.280 you know, it's gonna be time where you face that 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.000 advery city here. It's gonna be times where things are 0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:59.919 not going your way. But at the end of the day, 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.160 when it's all I said there, you gotta you know, 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.320 each one, each and every one of us have to 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.240 reach deep down and and and grab something out of 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.679 us to continue to fight for each other. And you know, 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.840 at the end of the day we pick our heads 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.920 up and you know we'll see victories or we'll see 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.560 we'll come up just short. But um, you just we 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.360 just gotta keep pushing, keep pressing. And um that's one 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.840 thing that I've learned from Coach Kelly is just keep 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.919 pushing the matter, the situation here, and just keep pushing it. 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.679 Everything would come inlight. So you grew up in Houston, 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.520 Texas was Chip Kelly. The reason you went to Oregon 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:39.040 pretty much um about nine percent. Um. You know, just 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.560 just the feeling that he brought to me and my 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:46.360 family when he came did in home visiting and coach Ross. Um, 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.480 you know, there was the big reasons why I chose 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.240 to go to Oregon. Do you have a favorite Chip 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.880 Kelly story, whether it's from your time at Oregon or 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.320 uh in the pros? I mean, uh, one that you 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.720 can share with us. What's what that was? Okay, Well, 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:04.119 it was my sophomore year, I believe, and we was 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.000 down at Stafford playing Stafford, and um, I think it 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.000 was a close game. While we was losing him Um, 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.960 I can't really remember. Um, but he came in and 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.480 half time and just um went bizarre. I've never seen 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:22.040 him um like this before. He just slipped over the table. Um. 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.320 It was like Gatorad's and of everything on the table 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.320 and he just slipped it up and got got the 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.399 team real route routed up and we was able to 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.000 go out and eventually get the victory. All right, So 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:35.919 Josh August known for its uniforms, the Eagles for the 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.679 first time ever doing the black jersey with the black pants. 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.840 What's your take on for something like black? I love it. 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.159 I absolutely love it. Uh. I was able to do 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:50.640 a couple of blackout games um that Oregon and if 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.679 it was loved it. Um. You know that just a 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.840 blackout game, it just brings so much um the intensity 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:02.560 or crowd um. And we have a real passionate fan 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:06.159 base and just them being all black and dame you 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.000 see a Giants fan or something, you know, it just 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.800 brings the energy into the stadium even more. And with 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.080 it being a routal, it is just blows my mind. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.040 I just can't wait, Josh, because of luck. This Sunday, 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.240 this is Las Calcook Presents Crunch Time. I'm Chris McPherson 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.000 and thank you for joining us here on Philadelphia Eagles 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:29.399 dot Com. Enjoy more than ten delicious flavors and varieties 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.440 made with the simple goodness of real ingredients to give 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:36.480 you that extra crunch. Well, Vinny Curry set a very 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.520 prestigious record last week when he got his second sack 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.080 of the season, giving him six in his career. That 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.159 makes him Dave the all time leading sack artist in 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:47.919 Eagles history for a player from New Jersey. Well, of 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:52.240 course we all expect there to be some more significant accolades, 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:54.520 but for stepping still, and that's not a bad start 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:56.960 for Vinny. Curry has made a really nice transition into 0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.600
