WEBVTT - Eagles 360: November 30 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.520 The last time the Eagles met the Cincinnati Bengals the 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.400 two and twelve season at Lincoln Financial Field, and the 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.280 Bengals prevailed thirty four to thirteen that day. As the 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.400 final season of the Andy Reid tenure in Philadelphia, the 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.479 Bengals were seen as a team on the rise, a 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.080 team that would contend for Super Bowls for many seasons 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:43.839 to come. Well, here we are in two thousand and 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.000 sixteen and the Bengals are three seven and one. What 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.559 has happened to that football team? Hello? Everyone, I'm Dave Spidero. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.120 This is my quick This is Eagles three sixty on 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.480 a Wednesday at the Overcare Complex. And the reason I 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.600 bring up that story is to explain the idea of 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.080 cycles in the NFL. And Mike, the Bengals may have 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.360 missed their time. Well, they are talented day, but they're 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.479 not able to get over to hump you mentioned at 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.200 three seven and one. Well, that's a football team that's 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.880 been in some close games, but they're not able to 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.039 close out those close games. And they're not with Aj Green, 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.240 they're superstar wide receiver Geo Bernard, They'll do everything running back. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.319 The Eagles, meanwhile, struggling five straight losses on the road 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.440 and now two and six after that three and oh, start, Mike. 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.200 We've got five games left in the regular season. Eagles 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.640 need to turn this thing around starting Sunday. I think 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.000 the way to turn it around starting Sunday is to 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.280 run the football. And I think if this is a 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.200 defense that they can pound the football. This defense is 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.640 ranked twenty eighth versus the run. They've got one guy 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.920 that you really have to pay attention to, and as 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.280 Vontz Berbick, the week side linebacker. But the Eagles can 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.640 run the football against his defense, and I think that's 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.520 where they have to start. It takes a little bit 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.480 off of your young quarterback and really puts it on 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.840 the shoulders of your big guys in the trenches to 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.480 win the football game. We will get into the Bengals 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.560 and the Eagles our first look a little later in 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.400 the show. A busy day at the Novicare Complex. Let's 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.760 get you caught up with everything going on as the 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.359 Eagles shrug off that loss to the Green Bay Packers. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.080 Doug Peterson meeting the media, many players meeting the media. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.520 What is the mood of this football team? Let's throw 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.200 it over to Alex Smith our Eagles three sixty update. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.360 Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is your three 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.760 sixty update. As you can see, it is a rainy 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.399 day here in South Philadelphia as the Eagles are back 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.680 at work on a short week after Monday Night's game 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.880 against the Green Bay Packers, as they get set to 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.920 head out to Cincinnati, Ohio for a matchup on Sunday 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.639 against the Bengals. Today, inside the locker room, we heard 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.000 from Eagles defensive players talking about what the team needs 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.960 to do to clean up some of the issues that 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.320 they're having on that side of the ball. I think 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.600 I don't think we regress. I just think we're kind 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.640 of doing the same stuff. If you look at the games, 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.120 there's a lot of coming uity when you talk about 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.920 what the mistakes were, penalties, a couple of plays here there, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.800 and all of a sudden, the game flops thing. I 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.480 felt like, you know, I was just too tight and 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.880 it started with me, and I like, if I feel 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.440 too type, maybe my teammates feel type, because you know, 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.360 I'm usually loose. But I kind of got caught up 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.720 into that we need these now, and I felt like 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.960 I could, I could make a difference but really it's 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.040 a team thing and we all need to just go 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.160 out there and just play loose and play free. First 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.760 of all, that's been our strength as we've been able 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.360 to get off the field on third down and get 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.040 you know, in those type of situations, give our offense 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.240 a chance. At the end of the game. What goes 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.520 through your mind, you know, we had opportunities playing and simple, 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.440 you know, we we had opportunities, and I think Fletch 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.040 harped on he said twice, maybe three times, that that's 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.800 a good, high powered offense we're playing. Meanwhile, on the 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.000 offensive side of the ball, the Eagles are also looking 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.920 for more consistency as they look to eliminate some of 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.000 these self conflicted wounds that have played the team this season. 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.880 I think we played too very good football teams the 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.280 past two weeks and we just haven't been able to 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.440 find a rhythm on offense to stay on the field. 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.400 And when we put our defense in situations where they're 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.280 consistently on the field, boll we're not converting third downs 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.480 or then when we have to kind of get in 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.960 a rhythm, we're pressing at times. So I think on offense, 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.120 we just got to focus on finding a rhythm. Being 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.479 better on third down is huge. Not facing third and 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.719 twenty five, second and twenty fives. I mean, you're not 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.200 going to be successful in the NFL facing those situations. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.960 And if we could, if we could just eliminate those 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.440 situations from our offense, I think we'll be a lot 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.719 in a lot better shape. Without a doubt. You know, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.560 obviously we could have been better. We could have been 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.280 sharper on third downs, could have Obviously the turnover in 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.599 the second half on the first drive didn't help the cause. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.599 There's definitely things there that we could have taken advantage of. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.400 But like I said after the game, it was just 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.240 kind of an interesting game with the flow of the game, 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.680 hard to getting a rhythm. But with without a doubt, 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.479 we we could have been better. Three Eagles did not 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.960 practice today. That's Jordan Matthews, Ryan Matthews, and Hallipoola vadi Vitai. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.440 But for a complete injury report and to check out 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.159 all of our sound from today's press conferences, end inside 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.600 the locker room, stay right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.440 com and the official Eagles mobile app. Thanks so much, 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.480 Alex a lot to get to in the show today. 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.599 A first look at the Bengals.

Look, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.040 this team started out three and oz two wins in 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.120 the last eight games. What has the difference spin as 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.600 you kind of look at it collectively those first three 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.960 games the last eight games. Well, one, we've you know, 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.840 we've played some good opponents. Number one, this is the 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.880 National Football League, and everybody's everybody's good. You know, We've 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.360 had a couple we had a tough stretch in there 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.840 where we caught some teams coming off there by and 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.520 and then and then on top of that, we've we've 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.880 you know, just just failed to execute in some areas 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:41.240 and uh, costly penalties, some turnovers, uh, you know, defensively, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.280 not being able to get off the field or stop people, 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.600 you know, and and you know, it's it's a multitude 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.080 of things, um, you know, but things that are very 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.160 very fixable each week, things that we address every week, 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.960 and and um, you know, try to eliminate the best 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.800 we can going into the next week's game. How much 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.920 are you challenging yourself and your coaching staff at this point. Well, 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.960 it's it's all about me, and it's all about the 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.480 coaches and and uh, you know, we we we evaluate ourselves. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.120 I evaluate myself after every game and and and want 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:10.640 to make sure that I'm doing the right things, as 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.760 I've mentioned before, And you know it, I challenge the 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.560 staff to to really, you know, to to to buckle 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.320 down and really start teaching and get back to the 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.400 basics a little bit, Uh, the fundamentals of football and 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.880 what we did, you know, earlier in the season. And 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.200 you know, it's hard to get back there just because 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.200 everything's changed since, you know, and you're playing so many 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.840 more guys, and injury has taken place and and um, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.600 but at the same time, you know, it's still football. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.960 We still you know, block, tackle, run, catch, throw the 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.840 ball to our guys and and uh, we just got 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.439 to keep it simple that way. What are you seeing 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.439 from the defense just these last couple of games. Tough 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.280 one against Seattle, tough one against Green Bay. Two good 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.120 offense is two good quarterbacks. Um. You know, it was 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.800 hard to uh. Um, you know in Seattle is a 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.480 physical football game. You know, West Coast trip. It was 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.920 a long week. Um, you know you then coming to 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.520 Green Bay. You know, Aaron Rodgers again, a guy that 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.920 controls the clock, controls the tempo, a little big gets 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.880 the ball out of his hand extremely fast. Hard to 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.040 get to him, hard to hit him. The same with 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.600 Russell Wilson. You know, these these two guys are very athletic, 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.319 can extend plays with their legs and with their arm. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.079 And so it's you know, two weeks in a row 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.679 where where we've we've had a tough time, you know, 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.719 staying on the field offensively and getting off the field defensively, 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.720 and something that as we go, we got to address 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.640 it and make sure that we're doing I'm putting as coaches, 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.880 we're putting our players in position to make place. There 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.600 are people up there criticizing the lack of pressure from 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.120 the defensive front, not just the front four. Is that 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.320 more of a product of the mobility of Russell Wilson 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.360 and Aaron Rodgers or is it a product that the 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.800 Eagles just started getting home when you want to get home. 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.439 I think it's a little both, be honest with you. Um, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.120 you know, the as I mentioned Russell and Aaron, they 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.880 can both do a nice job of stepping up in 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.480 the pocket and or avoiding the rush and backdoor front 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.880 door things at quarterbacks do and you know, being able 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.600 to extend plays and then and then it's just hard 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:14.120 too sometimes when when when you have six, seven even 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.720 sometimes eight in protection where where you know you're double 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.640 you got a lot of double teams up front, you know, 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.400 with and play action passes really where they where they 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.720 can get you that way, and um, you know, it's 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.320 it's hard to hold up in the back end when 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.200 you when you can't get to the quarterback. So something 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.920 we've got to definitely focus on these next few weeks. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.520 We've got to address it, um And and I know 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.439 the guys are working hard in practice each week to 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.079 get it done. And and it's just a matter of 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.520 of pride and making sure that you know, uh, the 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.120 guys are doing it. On Sunday when we watch Russell 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.160 and Aaron Rodgers play, and then we kind of look 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.280 at Carson and as he develops, what are the as 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.120 you technically, what are the differences between Russell Wilson and 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.720 Aaron Rodgers and Carson Are they really significant? I mean 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.360 kind of go into the coach speak about this. Yeah 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.280 they are and and really, um, you know, obviously it's 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.880 hard to compare those two guys with Carson at this 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.040 stage because these are two veteran quarterbacks in the National 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.480 Football League and the Carson's just a rookie. But you 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.680 see some of the same similarities. I even I even 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.000 compare Carson probably more with like a like a car 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.760 in Oakland where because I was in that division, so 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.560 I got to kind of see him grow and mature 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.079 and and make some of those young rookie mistakes his 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.880 first and second year, you know, with that offense. But 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.920 now you're looking at him and he's very efficient. They've 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.760 got pieces around him now, their defense is playing extremely, 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.320 extremely well. And that's what I see going forward with 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.640 with the with the future of our football team and 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.240 building those pieces on offense and defense and building them 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.800 around your quarterback who who is I think is going 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.960 to be a great quarterback in the National Football League. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:56.520 And you know, and and and so right now, you know, yeah, 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.360 you're kind of still going through some growing pains a 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.719 little bit, and and but yeah, you see the strides there. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:06.160 They may be small, um, and maybe the public or 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.120 the outside eye doesn't see him right away. But we 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.520 see him as coaches and and as things that we 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.080 continue to talk about with him. And I want to 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.079 make sure that that that he understands, you know, game 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.480 situations and manages it that way. And um, take the 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.080 shot when the shot is there, And again he goes 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.640 back to you know, we're asking him to do a 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.640 lot of things too, and he's been able to handle 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.199 that extremely well, just like these other quarterbacks are doing. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.760 So what are those things you're seeing? Why do you 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.520 think he's going to be a great quarterback? Well, is, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:38.040 fundamentals are getting better. Um, you know, he's uh making 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.520 better decisions. You're seeing him utilizing his backs and tight 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.240 ends here in the last couple of weeks, and and 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.960 us staying on the field, and in a couple of situations, 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.200 he's managing the run game, getting us from a bad 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.360 run to a better run that we have in the 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.640 game plan. And um, you know he's utilizing in the game. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.520 The other day, he's utilizing his legs a little bit 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.440 when he has an opportunity to scramble and he's done 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.040 that here, you know, the last couple of weeks. So 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.160 those are things that we see, um, you know, and 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.560 and they're small, but they're big and the big, big 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.440 scheme of things and a big picture of things and 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.160 things that you can build on. What will you find out, Doug, 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.440 about your roster, about your locker room in the next 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.199 five weeks. I think the biggest thing is is you're 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:20.200 going to see the leadership of the football team. You know, um, 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.840 when you're facing with adversity like this, um, you know, 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.320 and your backs a little bit against the wall, You're 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.000 gonna see who the leaders of the football team are. 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.520 You're going to see the guys that are really on 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.120 board with the direction in which we're headed and the 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.240 messaging that you know, are are they Are they with 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.680 the entire the entire program and that And that's what 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.280 you're going to see. And that's what you're gonna find out. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:41.920 That's what I'm gonna find out anyway with it with 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.880 the football team. And and you know, listen, I I 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.439 totally believe in this team, believe in these guys, and 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.400 I don't think that's going to happen. I just know 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.319 the culture of that that locker room right now and 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.800 the dynamic of that locker room, and and and I 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.679 don't foresee that happening because this is this is a 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.680 resilient group, this is a great group. And um, you know, 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.439 there's good leadership on this football team and and uh, 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.439 you know, we're gonna find out, you know, find out 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.120 a little bit about that and then we're gonna figure 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.319 out how to win a football game. Last one, Nelson, 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.000 you backed him off last week. Where are you with Nelson? 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.720 And what is he showing you? I thought Nelson, first 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.439 of all, handled last week extremely well as a professional 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.800 and um and and so that that shows me that's 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.160 a little sign of maturity and that he can he 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.320 can handle that. And I just wanted him to see 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.400 the game with a with a calmer set eyes where 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.120 he wasn't pressed into action and he had to, you know, 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.080 put a lot of pressure on himself to make plays 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.680 and but yet put himself in the in the game 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.160 situations where he's playing it in his mind and he's 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.640 visualizing making plays in his mind. And and uh, you know, 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.400 going forward, you know, each week will be another another 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:51.000 stepping stone, I guess to to where we want him 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.680 to be. And listen, I'm I'm not down on Nelson 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.080 at all. I told him that last week. Um, still 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.880 got a lot of confidence in him, and we're going 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.440 to work through this together. And U you know, I 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.000 told him that somewhere somewhere in these next couple of games, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.000 he's he's gonna make more big plays for us than 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.400 than than anything else. So a lot of confidence in him, 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.320 and uh, you know, he's handled this thing like a pro. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.600 Doug Peterson one on one presented by Wah Wah, Thanks 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.880 for joining us.

We welcome you back, Dave Spidero, Mike Quick 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.520 Here Eagles three sixty. Let's take a look at the 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:07.160 Eagles upcoming schedule, presented by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.040 For the only verified way to buy or sell NFL tickets, 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.399 visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Mike, it is very 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.760 difficult to look ahead. We have in the past weeks 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.840 here projected number of victories in the remaining schedule. I'm 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.760 not sure it's worth doing that today because this team 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.320 is one that needs to go on a game by 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.800 game basis. We see the opponents. They don't make you 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.959 cower at all, but the Eagles need to focus on 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.399 what they're doing. You know, we said something about that 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.960 last week, Dave, and it's really about them handling their 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:43.360 business being the best player at every play, every position, 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.240 and it's about that and the mistakes that they made. 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.240 I looked at a stat where the Eagles are averaging 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.400 eight penonties per game. Well, that's something that you can avoid. 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.280 Some of those a penalties or self inflicted wounds that 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.720 they really can avoid, and they have to get away 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.400 from that. They have to be better at what they do. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.919 Fletcher Cox three big personal foul penalties this season that 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.560 have cost the Eagles fifteen points. So how do you 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.120 explain it to Fletcher What is his mindset? How does 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.199 he pull off and still remain aggressive. I think he 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.920 has to stay aggressive. And I think the good players, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.280 the guys that are going to get hit, some quarterbacks, 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:23.159 they're gonna get fouls like that. They're not always fouls, 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.960 but it's up to the officialty interpret what he sees 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.560 and sometimes it's going to be a foul. Sometimes it's 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.520 not going to be a foul. I would not take 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.800 that away from Fletcher Cox. I would tell him to 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.760 continue doing what you're doing. Yeah, well, hope he keeps 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.399 it clean here and doesn't cost the Eagles on Sunday, 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.439 big game for him in the defensive line against the 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:45.080 Cincinnati Bengals offense that is missing some of its major weapons. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.080 As we take our in depth look at the Cincinnati Bengals, 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.080 we begin at the quarterback position. It's a matchup of 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.919 the Gingers, Carson Wentz and Andy Dalton. How good is 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.040 Andy Dalton? Well? They are. I like Andy Dalton. I 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.040 think he's one of the better quarterbacks in this league. 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:05.199 Big guy, strong arm, smart guy. He's mobile. He's not 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.600 the running guy that the Eagles have seen the last 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.080 two weeks, but he is mobile. So if they're leaving 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.520 run lanes for him, he can hurt them. He can 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.320 affect him pulling the ball down. But he has a 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.720 really good arm and he's got some solid targets around him. 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.320 How did Carson play on Monday night against Green Bay? 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.239 I thought he played real well. You know, there are 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.280 some misses the interception, of course, and I right away 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.320 I think of a misson Zach Ertz on a little 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.199 out route that was thrown behind him. There are some misses, 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.920 but all in all, Carson Wentz played very well. Carson 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.840 Wentz just needs a better supporting cast to help him 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.160 to grow, and he certainly needs a strong run game 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.000 and that truly will help him to grow and that's 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.080 a good segue to the run game. Now, of course, 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.600 the Bengals without Geo Bernard, so they turned to the 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.320 combination of Jeremy Hill and Rex Burkhead. These are not 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.840 dynamic running backs, but they are more of a power 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.159 running attack, and the Eagles need to be ready for 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:04.080 a simplified Cincinnati Bengals offense. Yeah, I think the front 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.440 seven of the Eagles and maybe even the eighth guy 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.400 coming down, I think it's going to be a game 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.880 for them because if the Bengals are going to try 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.240 and pound the ball in the run game and those 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.480 guys up front, this is gonna be a big test 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.879 for them. But oh, by the way, they do have 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.879 a little play action game that they'll use right after 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.639 running the football, So you know that I think is 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.119 a combination that the Eagles will have to be ready 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.159 to contend with at wide receiver. The Eagles do expect 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.240 Jordan Matthews to play barring any setbacks between now and Sunday. 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.040 He's been a quality player. Mike, Let's talk about Nelson 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:39.280 Agiloor and the decision to back him off on Monday night. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.600 What do we expect from Nelson moving forward. Well, I 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.440 don't think because he took a week off that he's 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.280 gonna be just this great wide receiver all of a sudden. 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.919 I think that Nelson has some talents. I think that 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:54.119 Nelson needs to play through the issues that he's having, 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.800 and that's the only way to get this behind him. 0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.680 You want to put this whole problem in the rear view, 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.680 he has to play through it. I would hope that 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.679
