Speaker 1: The last time the Eagles met the Cincinnati Bengals the
Speaker 1: two and twelve season at Lincoln Financial Field, and the
Speaker 1: Bengals prevailed thirty four to thirteen that day. As the
Speaker 1: final season of the Andy Reid tenure in Philadelphia, the
Speaker 1: Bengals were seen as a team on the rise, a
Speaker 1: team that would contend for Super Bowls for many seasons
Speaker 1: to come. Well, here we are in two thousand and
Speaker 1: sixteen and the Bengals are three seven and one. What
Speaker 1: has happened to that football team? Hello? Everyone, I'm Dave Spidero.
Speaker 1: This is my quick This is Eagles three sixty on
Speaker 1: a Wednesday at the Overcare Complex. And the reason I
Speaker 1: bring up that story is to explain the idea of
Speaker 1: cycles in the NFL. And Mike, the Bengals may have
Speaker 1: missed their time. Well, they are talented day, but they're
Speaker 1: not able to get over to hump you mentioned at
Speaker 1: three seven and one. Well, that's a football team that's
Speaker 1: been in some close games, but they're not able to
Speaker 1: close out those close games. And they're not with Aj Green,
Speaker 1: they're superstar wide receiver Geo Bernard, They'll do everything running back.
Speaker 1: The Eagles, meanwhile, struggling five straight losses on the road
Speaker 1: and now two and six after that three and oh, start, Mike.
Speaker 1: We've got five games left in the regular season. Eagles
Speaker 1: need to turn this thing around starting Sunday. I think
Speaker 1: the way to turn it around starting Sunday is to
Speaker 1: run the football. And I think if this is a
Speaker 1: defense that they can pound the football. This defense is
Speaker 1: ranked twenty eighth versus the run. They've got one guy
Speaker 1: that you really have to pay attention to, and as
Speaker 1: Vontz Berbick, the week side linebacker. But the Eagles can
Speaker 1: run the football against his defense, and I think that's
Speaker 1: where they have to start. It takes a little bit
Speaker 1: off of your young quarterback and really puts it on
Speaker 1: the shoulders of your big guys in the trenches to
Speaker 1: win the football game. We will get into the Bengals
Speaker 1: and the Eagles our first look a little later in
Speaker 1: the show. A busy day at the Novicare Complex. Let's
Speaker 1: get you caught up with everything going on as the
Speaker 1: Eagles shrug off that loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson meeting the media, many players meeting the media.
Speaker 1: What is the mood of this football team? Let's throw
Speaker 1: it over to Alex Smith our Eagles three sixty update.
Speaker 1: Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is your three
Speaker 1: sixty update. As you can see, it is a rainy
Speaker 1: day here in South Philadelphia as the Eagles are back
Speaker 1: at work on a short week after Monday Night's game
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Packers, as they get set to
Speaker 1: head out to Cincinnati, Ohio for a matchup on Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. Today, inside the locker room, we heard
Speaker 1: from Eagles defensive players talking about what the team needs
Speaker 1: to do to clean up some of the issues that
Speaker 1: they're having on that side of the ball. I think
Speaker 1: I don't think we regress. I just think we're kind
Speaker 1: of doing the same stuff. If you look at the games,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of coming uity when you talk about
Speaker 1: what the mistakes were, penalties, a couple of plays here there,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the game flops thing. I
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, I was just too tight and
Speaker 1: it started with me, and I like, if I feel
Speaker 1: too type, maybe my teammates feel type, because you know,
Speaker 1: I'm usually loose. But I kind of got caught up
Speaker 1: into that we need these now, and I felt like
Speaker 1: I could, I could make a difference but really it's
Speaker 1: a team thing and we all need to just go
Speaker 1: out there and just play loose and play free. First
Speaker 1: of all, that's been our strength as we've been able
Speaker 1: to get off the field on third down and get
Speaker 1: you know, in those type of situations, give our offense
Speaker 1: a chance. At the end of the game. What goes
Speaker 1: through your mind, you know, we had opportunities playing and simple,
Speaker 1: you know, we we had opportunities, and I think Fletch
Speaker 1: harped on he said twice, maybe three times, that that's
Speaker 1: a good, high powered offense we're playing. Meanwhile, on the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, the Eagles are also looking
Speaker 1: for more consistency as they look to eliminate some of
Speaker 1: these self conflicted wounds that have played the team this season.
Speaker 1: I think we played too very good football teams the
Speaker 1: past two weeks and we just haven't been able to
Speaker 1: find a rhythm on offense to stay on the field.
Speaker 1: And when we put our defense in situations where they're
Speaker 1: consistently on the field, boll we're not converting third downs
Speaker 1: or then when we have to kind of get in
Speaker 1: a rhythm, we're pressing at times. So I think on offense,
Speaker 1: we just got to focus on finding a rhythm. Being
Speaker 1: better on third down is huge. Not facing third and
Speaker 1: twenty five, second and twenty fives. I mean, you're not
Speaker 1: going to be successful in the NFL facing those situations.
Speaker 1: And if we could, if we could just eliminate those
Speaker 1: situations from our offense, I think we'll be a lot
Speaker 1: in a lot better shape. Without a doubt. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously we could have been better. We could have been
Speaker 1: sharper on third downs, could have Obviously the turnover in
Speaker 1: the second half on the first drive didn't help the cause.
Speaker 1: There's definitely things there that we could have taken advantage of.
Speaker 1: But like I said after the game, it was just
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting game with the flow of the game,
Speaker 1: hard to getting a rhythm. But with without a doubt,
Speaker 1: we we could have been better. Three Eagles did not
Speaker 1: practice today. That's Jordan Matthews, Ryan Matthews, and Hallipoola vadi Vitai.
Speaker 1: But for a complete injury report and to check out

Speaker 1: now to our weekly exclusive one on one with head
Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson, presented by Wah Wah and Doug. Look,
Speaker 1: this team started out three and oz two wins in
Speaker 1: the last eight games. What has the difference spin as
Speaker 1: you kind of look at it collectively those first three
Speaker 1: games the last eight games. Well, one, we've you know,
Speaker 1: we've played some good opponents. Number one, this is the
Speaker 1: National Football League, and everybody's everybody's good. You know, We've
Speaker 1: had a couple we had a tough stretch in there
Speaker 1: where we caught some teams coming off there by and
Speaker 1: and then and then on top of that, we've we've
Speaker 1: you know, just just failed to execute in some areas
Speaker 1: and uh, costly penalties, some turnovers, uh, you know, defensively,
Speaker 1: not being able to get off the field or stop people,
Speaker 1: you know, and and you know, it's it's a multitude
Speaker 1: of things, um, you know, but things that are very
Speaker 1: very fixable each week, things that we address every week,
Speaker 1: and and um, you know, try to eliminate the best
Speaker 1: we can going into the next week's game. How much
Speaker 1: are you challenging yourself and your coaching staff at this point. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's all about me, and it's all about the
Speaker 1: coaches and and uh, you know, we we we evaluate ourselves.
Speaker 1: I evaluate myself after every game and and and want
Speaker 1: to make sure that I'm doing the right things, as
Speaker 1: I've mentioned before, And you know it, I challenge the
Speaker 1: staff to to really, you know, to to to buckle
Speaker 1: down and really start teaching and get back to the
Speaker 1: basics a little bit, Uh, the fundamentals of football and
Speaker 1: what we did, you know, earlier in the season. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to get back there just because
Speaker 1: everything's changed since, you know, and you're playing so many
Speaker 1: more guys, and injury has taken place and and um,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, you know, it's still football.
Speaker 1: We still you know, block, tackle, run, catch, throw the
Speaker 1: ball to our guys and and uh, we just got
Speaker 1: to keep it simple that way. What are you seeing
Speaker 1: from the defense just these last couple of games. Tough
Speaker 1: one against Seattle, tough one against Green Bay. Two good
Speaker 1: offense is two good quarterbacks. Um. You know, it was
Speaker 1: hard to uh. Um, you know in Seattle is a
Speaker 1: physical football game. You know, West Coast trip. It was
Speaker 1: a long week. Um, you know you then coming to
Speaker 1: Green Bay. You know, Aaron Rodgers again, a guy that
Speaker 1: controls the clock, controls the tempo, a little big gets
Speaker 1: the ball out of his hand extremely fast. Hard to
Speaker 1: get to him, hard to hit him. The same with
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. You know, these these two guys are very athletic,
Speaker 1: can extend plays with their legs and with their arm.
Speaker 1: And so it's you know, two weeks in a row
Speaker 1: where where we've we've had a tough time, you know,
Speaker 1: staying on the field offensively and getting off the field defensively,
Speaker 1: and something that as we go, we got to address
Speaker 1: it and make sure that we're doing I'm putting as coaches,
Speaker 1: we're putting our players in position to make place. There
Speaker 1: are people up there criticizing the lack of pressure from
Speaker 1: the defensive front, not just the front four. Is that
Speaker 1: more of a product of the mobility of Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers or is it a product that the
Speaker 1: Eagles just started getting home when you want to get home.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little both, be honest with you. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, the as I mentioned Russell and Aaron, they
Speaker 1: can both do a nice job of stepping up in
Speaker 1: the pocket and or avoiding the rush and backdoor front
Speaker 1: door things at quarterbacks do and you know, being able
Speaker 1: to extend plays and then and then it's just hard
Speaker 1: too sometimes when when when you have six, seven even
Speaker 1: sometimes eight in protection where where you know you're double
Speaker 1: you got a lot of double teams up front, you know,
Speaker 1: with and play action passes really where they where they
Speaker 1: can get you that way, and um, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's hard to hold up in the back end when
Speaker 1: you when you can't get to the quarterback. So something
Speaker 1: we've got to definitely focus on these next few weeks.
Speaker 1: We've got to address it, um And and I know
Speaker 1: the guys are working hard in practice each week to
Speaker 1: get it done. And and it's just a matter of
Speaker 1: of pride and making sure that you know, uh, the
Speaker 1: guys are doing it. On Sunday when we watch Russell
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers play, and then we kind of look
Speaker 1: at Carson and as he develops, what are the as
Speaker 1: you technically, what are the differences between Russell Wilson and
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Carson Are they really significant? I mean
Speaker 1: kind of go into the coach speak about this. Yeah
Speaker 1: they are and and really, um, you know, obviously it's
Speaker 1: hard to compare those two guys with Carson at this
Speaker 1: stage because these are two veteran quarterbacks in the National
Speaker 1: Football League and the Carson's just a rookie. But you
Speaker 1: see some of the same similarities. I even I even
Speaker 1: compare Carson probably more with like a like a car
Speaker 1: in Oakland where because I was in that division, so
Speaker 1: I got to kind of see him grow and mature
Speaker 1: and and make some of those young rookie mistakes his
Speaker 1: first and second year, you know, with that offense. But
Speaker 1: now you're looking at him and he's very efficient. They've
Speaker 1: got pieces around him now, their defense is playing extremely,
Speaker 1: extremely well. And that's what I see going forward with
Speaker 1: with the with the future of our football team and
Speaker 1: building those pieces on offense and defense and building them
Speaker 1: around your quarterback who who is I think is going
Speaker 1: to be a great quarterback in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: And you know, and and and so right now, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're kind of still going through some growing pains a
Speaker 1: little bit, and and but yeah, you see the strides there.
Speaker 1: They may be small, um, and maybe the public or
Speaker 1: the outside eye doesn't see him right away. But we
Speaker 1: see him as coaches and and as things that we
Speaker 1: continue to talk about with him. And I want to
Speaker 1: make sure that that that he understands, you know, game
Speaker 1: situations and manages it that way. And um, take the
Speaker 1: shot when the shot is there, And again he goes
Speaker 1: back to you know, we're asking him to do a
Speaker 1: lot of things too, and he's been able to handle
Speaker 1: that extremely well, just like these other quarterbacks are doing.
Speaker 1: So what are those things you're seeing? Why do you
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a great quarterback? Well, is,
Speaker 1: fundamentals are getting better. Um, you know, he's uh making
Speaker 1: better decisions. You're seeing him utilizing his backs and tight
Speaker 1: ends here in the last couple of weeks, and and
Speaker 1: us staying on the field, and in a couple of situations,
Speaker 1: he's managing the run game, getting us from a bad
Speaker 1: run to a better run that we have in the
Speaker 1: game plan. And um, you know he's utilizing in the game.
Speaker 1: The other day, he's utilizing his legs a little bit
Speaker 1: when he has an opportunity to scramble and he's done
Speaker 1: that here, you know, the last couple of weeks. So
Speaker 1: those are things that we see, um, you know, and
Speaker 1: and they're small, but they're big and the big, big
Speaker 1: scheme of things and a big picture of things and
Speaker 1: things that you can build on. What will you find out, Doug,
Speaker 1: about your roster, about your locker room in the next
Speaker 1: five weeks. I think the biggest thing is is you're
Speaker 1: going to see the leadership of the football team. You know, um,
Speaker 1: when you're facing with adversity like this, um, you know,
Speaker 1: and your backs a little bit against the wall, You're
Speaker 1: gonna see who the leaders of the football team are.
Speaker 1: You're going to see the guys that are really on
Speaker 1: board with the direction in which we're headed and the
Speaker 1: messaging that you know, are are they Are they with
Speaker 1: the entire the entire program and that And that's what
Speaker 1: you're going to see. And that's what you're gonna find out.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna find out anyway with it with
Speaker 1: the football team. And and you know, listen, I I
Speaker 1: totally believe in this team, believe in these guys, and
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to happen. I just know
Speaker 1: the culture of that that locker room right now and
Speaker 1: the dynamic of that locker room, and and and I
Speaker 1: don't foresee that happening because this is this is a
Speaker 1: resilient group, this is a great group. And um, you know,
Speaker 1: there's good leadership on this football team and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna find out, you know, find out
Speaker 1: a little bit about that and then we're gonna figure
Speaker 1: out how to win a football game. Last one, Nelson,
Speaker 1: you backed him off last week. Where are you with Nelson?
Speaker 1: And what is he showing you? I thought Nelson, first
Speaker 1: of all, handled last week extremely well as a professional
Speaker 1: and um and and so that that shows me that's
Speaker 1: a little sign of maturity and that he can he
Speaker 1: can handle that. And I just wanted him to see
Speaker 1: the game with a with a calmer set eyes where
Speaker 1: he wasn't pressed into action and he had to, you know,
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on himself to make plays
Speaker 1: and but yet put himself in the in the game
Speaker 1: situations where he's playing it in his mind and he's
Speaker 1: visualizing making plays in his mind. And and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: going forward, you know, each week will be another another
Speaker 1: stepping stone, I guess to to where we want him
Speaker 1: to be. And listen, I'm I'm not down on Nelson
Speaker 1: at all. I told him that last week. Um, still
Speaker 1: got a lot of confidence in him, and we're going
Speaker 1: to work through this together. And U you know, I
Speaker 1: told him that somewhere somewhere in these next couple of games,
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna make more big plays for us than
Speaker 1: than than anything else. So a lot of confidence in him,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he's handled this thing like a pro.
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson one on one presented by Wah Wah, Thanks

Speaker 1: Here Eagles three sixty. Let's take a look at the
Speaker 1: Eagles upcoming schedule, presented by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster.
Speaker 1: For the only verified way to buy or sell NFL tickets,
Speaker 1: visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Mike, it is very
Speaker 1: difficult to look ahead. We have in the past weeks
Speaker 1: here projected number of victories in the remaining schedule. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure it's worth doing that today because this team
Speaker 1: is one that needs to go on a game by
Speaker 1: game basis. We see the opponents. They don't make you
Speaker 1: cower at all, but the Eagles need to focus on
Speaker 1: what they're doing. You know, we said something about that
Speaker 1: last week, Dave, and it's really about them handling their
Speaker 1: business being the best player at every play, every position,
Speaker 1: and it's about that and the mistakes that they made.
Speaker 1: I looked at a stat where the Eagles are averaging
Speaker 1: eight penonties per game. Well, that's something that you can avoid.
Speaker 1: Some of those a penalties or self inflicted wounds that
Speaker 1: they really can avoid, and they have to get away
Speaker 1: from that. They have to be better at what they do.
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox three big personal foul penalties this season that
Speaker 1: have cost the Eagles fifteen points. So how do you
Speaker 1: explain it to Fletcher What is his mindset? How does
Speaker 1: he pull off and still remain aggressive. I think he
Speaker 1: has to stay aggressive. And I think the good players,
Speaker 1: the guys that are going to get hit, some quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: they're gonna get fouls like that. They're not always fouls,
Speaker 1: but it's up to the officialty interpret what he sees
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's going to be a foul. Sometimes it's
Speaker 1: not going to be a foul. I would not take
Speaker 1: that away from Fletcher Cox. I would tell him to
Speaker 1: continue doing what you're doing. Yeah, well, hope he keeps
Speaker 1: it clean here and doesn't cost the Eagles on Sunday,
Speaker 1: big game for him in the defensive line against the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals offense that is missing some of its major weapons.
Speaker 1: As we take our in depth look at the Cincinnati Bengals,
Speaker 1: we begin at the quarterback position. It's a matchup of
Speaker 1: the Gingers, Carson Wentz and Andy Dalton. How good is
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton? Well? They are. I like Andy Dalton. I
Speaker 1: think he's one of the better quarterbacks in this league.
Speaker 1: Big guy, strong arm, smart guy. He's mobile. He's not
Speaker 1: the running guy that the Eagles have seen the last
Speaker 1: two weeks, but he is mobile. So if they're leaving
Speaker 1: run lanes for him, he can hurt them. He can
Speaker 1: affect him pulling the ball down. But he has a
Speaker 1: really good arm and he's got some solid targets around him.
Speaker 1: How did Carson play on Monday night against Green Bay?
Speaker 1: I thought he played real well. You know, there are
Speaker 1: some misses the interception, of course, and I right away
Speaker 1: I think of a misson Zach Ertz on a little
Speaker 1: out route that was thrown behind him. There are some misses,
Speaker 1: but all in all, Carson Wentz played very well. Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz just needs a better supporting cast to help him
Speaker 1: to grow, and he certainly needs a strong run game
Speaker 1: and that truly will help him to grow and that's
Speaker 1: a good segue to the run game. Now, of course,
Speaker 1: the Bengals without Geo Bernard, so they turned to the
Speaker 1: combination of Jeremy Hill and Rex Burkhead. These are not
Speaker 1: dynamic running backs, but they are more of a power
Speaker 1: running attack, and the Eagles need to be ready for
Speaker 1: a simplified Cincinnati Bengals offense. Yeah, I think the front
Speaker 1: seven of the Eagles and maybe even the eighth guy
Speaker 1: coming down, I think it's going to be a game
Speaker 1: for them because if the Bengals are going to try
Speaker 1: and pound the ball in the run game and those
Speaker 1: guys up front, this is gonna be a big test
Speaker 1: for them. But oh, by the way, they do have
Speaker 1: a little play action game that they'll use right after
Speaker 1: running the football, So you know that I think is
Speaker 1: a combination that the Eagles will have to be ready
Speaker 1: to contend with at wide receiver. The Eagles do expect
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews to play barring any setbacks between now and Sunday.
Speaker 1: He's been a quality player. Mike, Let's talk about Nelson
Speaker 1: Agiloor and the decision to back him off on Monday night.
Speaker 1: What do we expect from Nelson moving forward. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't think because he took a week off that he's
Speaker 1: gonna be just this great wide receiver all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: I think that Nelson has some talents. I think that
Speaker 1: Nelson needs to play through the issues that he's having,
Speaker 1: and that's the only way to get this behind him.
Speaker 1: You want to put this whole problem in the rear view,
Speaker 1: he has to play through it. I would hope that
Speaker 1: early in the football game Nelson agilog gets involved in
Speaker 1: the game against Cincinnati, just to get him back in
Speaker 1: the rhythm, back into the flow of football and catch
Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, just relax and do what you've done
Speaker 1: your entire life. On the Bengals side, it's Tyler Boyd
Speaker 1: is their main threat. Don't sleep on him. A rookie
Speaker 1: from Pitt, good player, and somebody who can really torch
Speaker 1: a defensive secondary. Their main target in the passing game.
Speaker 1: Tight End Tyler Eiffert has battled some injuries this year.
Speaker 1: He is back in the lineup and he will be
Speaker 1: a handful of Mike for the Eagles defensive backfield. Well,
Speaker 1: let's back up to Boyd. You mentioned Boyd. He is
Speaker 1: a guy that they're going to use in the slot
Speaker 1: a lot, so that could be Malcolm Jenkins. They're gonna
Speaker 1: try and match him up on a Malcolm Jenkins or
Speaker 1: someone that's playing in the slot and try and take
Speaker 1: an advantage. He's six one. He's a real good player
Speaker 1: at going at the fifty fifty ball, so that ball
Speaker 1: is in the air. That's one that you gotta fight for.
Speaker 1: He's very good at that. They'll use him. And of
Speaker 1: course you mentioned Tyler Eifert, pro bowler, talented kid early
Speaker 1: in the season, missed some games, but those are the
Speaker 1: two guys that they have to be concerned about in
Speaker 1: the passing game with no Aj Green on the field.
Speaker 1: And just a sentimental note here, a return home for
Speaker 1: Brent Sellec and I know that there are dozens, if
Speaker 1: not more of Brent Sellec fans, family friends who will
Speaker 1: be at the game. Connor Barwin his return to his
Speaker 1: college roots. Jason Kelsey returned to his roots. So it
Speaker 1: is kind of an interesting little side story all these
Speaker 1: Eagles players going back to Cincinnati. We take a look
Speaker 1: at some of the defensive numbers. As Mike said earlier,
Speaker 1: the Bengals just terrible against the run, game twenty eighth
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Not a whole lot better against the past,
Speaker 1: that defense with fantees perfect their best threat, but not
Speaker 1: a whole lot else. Mike, really just they don't. You
Speaker 1: look at the names and the numbers, and they just
Speaker 1: don't throw a lot of fear at you. They don't.
Speaker 1: And they play a lot of too deep zone coverage.
Speaker 1: And with the basic two deep zone coverage, the Eagles
Speaker 1: have a few route concepts that are built specifically to
Speaker 1: beat a two deep zone. So, like the Dagger, they'll
Speaker 1: run this concept where they'll get the inside receiver to
Speaker 1: clear the outside receiver to run an incut, and it's
Speaker 1: worked very well. Then they get to it in a
Speaker 1: couple of different ways. So that route and several other
Speaker 1: routes where they affect the seams with the safety and
Speaker 1: the tight ends inside receivers going down to seams, those
Speaker 1: are routes that can really affect the two deep zone
Speaker 1: coverage in and I expect to see a lot of
Speaker 1: that in the passing game. Would be so nice for
Speaker 1: the Eagles to get off to a good start, take
Speaker 1: a lead on the road, and end this road nonsense
Speaker 1: five straight losses after that win at Chicago. More to
Speaker 1: come here on Eagles three sixty. When we return, we
Speaker 1: go inside the numbers and we'll talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about the Eagles as they match up against the
Speaker 1: Cinnati Bengals. We're coming right back on Eagles three sixty.

Speaker 1: now to throw it to the numbers. Alex Smith and
Speaker 1: Stats Only. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith here and this
Speaker 1: is stats Only. And as we look back at the
Speaker 1: Eagles loss to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night,
Speaker 1: we'll start things off by look at a play from
Speaker 1: middle linebacker Jordan Hicks, who continues to prove himself as
Speaker 1: a playmaker in the middle of the Eagles defense. There's
Speaker 1: no question that Aaron Rodgers made things difficult for the
Speaker 1: Eagles defense on Monday night, not only getting the ball
Speaker 1: out quickly, but also keeping plays alive with his legs.
Speaker 1: On a third down play late in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: it seemed as if Rogers was about to use his
Speaker 1: nifty footwork outside of the pocket to pick up another
Speaker 1: Packer's first down. That's where Hicks seemingly comes flying in
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Picks starts in at Rodgers and covers
Speaker 1: forty five point five one yards on the play while
Speaker 1: reaching a peak speed of sixteen point nine to six
Speaker 1: miles per hour. Kicks finished the game with a team
Speaker 1: high eight tackles on Monday night, and he continues to
Speaker 1: evolve into a dynamic playmaker in the middle of the
Speaker 1: Eagles defense. Next up, let's move over to the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball and look at a play that
Speaker 1: illustrates just how explosive a player like Bryce Treggs can be,
Speaker 1: not only through the air, but on the ground as well.
Speaker 1: On the Eagles first drive of the game, they methodically
Speaker 1: drove the ball into Packers territory and eventually Carson went
Speaker 1: Stove into the end zone to tie the game at seven.
Speaker 1: One of the key plays on that drive was an
Speaker 1: end around to rookie receiver Bryce Treggs, who took the
Speaker 1: pitch from Wentz and sped his way for a key
Speaker 1: first down pickup. While the stat sheet shows that the
Speaker 1: run was good for just three yards, Treggs actually traveled
Speaker 1: forty two point four one yards on the play, and
Speaker 1: in a short period of time he reaches a top
Speaker 1: speed of twenty point five six miles per hour. Treggs
Speaker 1: also gets a huge block from Alan Barber, who reaches
Speaker 1: a mac speed of eleven point six eight miles per
Speaker 1: hour to help generate a force strong enough to send
Speaker 1: Clay Matthews flying into the backfield and to close things out,
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at another key special teams play
Speaker 1: that continues to prove why the Eagles kickoff coverage has
Speaker 1: been one of the best in the league for the
Speaker 1: past few seasons. After Caleb Sturgis can on a forty
Speaker 1: eight yard field goal to bring the Eagles within four
Speaker 1: points late in the first half, the Packers were looking
Speaker 1: for a big return from Tie Montgomery to perhaps get
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in range for a late hail Mary attempt.
Speaker 1: Looking to make a play, Montgomery takes the ball from
Speaker 1: one yard deep in his own end zone, but he's
Speaker 1: met and brought down before he can even reach the twenty.
Speaker 1: Thanks to fantastic coverage from three Eagles, in particular, Nagi
Speaker 1: Good and Brian Brayman both cover over fifty four yards
Speaker 1: on the play while Brayman reaches a max speed of
Speaker 1: twenty point three five miles per hour compared to Goods
Speaker 1: eighteen point nine six miles per hour. Then it's Chris
Speaker 1: Maragos who is there to clean things up on the play,
Speaker 1: reaching a top speed of almost twenty miles per hour
Speaker 1: and covering over sixty one yards on the play. And
Speaker 1: this play is just another example of how discipline play
Speaker 1: on special teams has been making a difference for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Alex. We've got one more segment to
Speaker 1: go here on Eagles three sixty. When we return, we
Speaker 1: will get some keys to the game from Michael Quick.
Speaker 1: How did the Eagles win on the road, get to
Speaker 1: six and six and make the month of December and

Speaker 1: Our final segment here on Eagles three sixty. Dave and
Speaker 1: Mike here, let's get you set up for what's happening
Speaker 1: on Thursday on the show, as we give you our
Speaker 1: Emerosos on the menu segments, Glenn mcnell in studio with
Speaker 1: his bold predictions for Sunday's Eagles Bengals game. Frank Reich
Speaker 1: and Jim Schwartz talking to the media. Schwartz does not
Speaker 1: speak to the media after games, so this is our
Speaker 1: weekly opportunity to speak to him and find out what
Speaker 1: he felt about the game against the Bengals, or rather
Speaker 1: against the Packers. And then we go behind enemy lines
Speaker 1: to find out the very latest on the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: It's our amerosos on the menu segment Amerosos the reason
Speaker 1: that Philly sandwiches are so famous. Michael Quick, How did
Speaker 1: Eagles win? They pound the football. I think they get
Speaker 1: to a solid run game. They run the ball thirty
Speaker 1: five times forty times, pound the football in the run game.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Ryan Matthews is back, but if
Speaker 1: it's Ryan Matthews or if it's Windale small Wood, they
Speaker 1: pound the football in the run game, keep the ball
Speaker 1: away from the Cincinnati Bengals. I think that's the formula
Speaker 1: for the Eagles to win. This football game sounds like
Speaker 1: Eagles Falcons Part two. Yeah, let's go with that. Eagles
Speaker 1: Falcons Part two. Run the football. You can run the
Speaker 1: ball under defense. As we said earlier, that to me
Speaker 1: is the way you beat them. And this is a
Speaker 1: team you mentioned, they've won three games, so you don't
Speaker 1: let them feel good about themselves. You take the ball
Speaker 1: away from them, take the air out of the ball
Speaker 1: for them, You keep the ball pounded, beat them in
Speaker 1: the submission late in the football game. And this is
Speaker 1: a crowd in Cincinnati that has really lost its fervor
Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Bengals, So don't let the home crowd
Speaker 1: get into the football game. Good stuff, my quick. Dave Spidero,
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us here on Eagles three sixty. I'll
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. In the meantime, have yourselves are great.
Speaker 1: Eagles game.
