Speaker 1: Stand by's cameras action. Are you ready for Monday Night's football?
Speaker 1: As the Eagles keep the Bears. I think this game
Speaker 1: is gonna be a whole lot about the coaches and
Speaker 1: how well they moved the chest pieces around on this field. Wow,
Speaker 1: he thinks he's back. He's head back in the ten
Speaker 1: yard line, sacked by a back up checkcounts. He gets
Speaker 1: it off and keeping his balance and slatching it for
Speaker 1: the touchdowners, drying my blues. WoT a great job. He
Speaker 1: goes over the middle and it's intercepted. It's intercepted by Branham.
Speaker 1: Branham takes it inside the five on his fleet all
Speaker 1: the way downs at the two wins choires He's got Burton.
Speaker 1: Touchdown Frey Burner, this time a hand off as the
Speaker 1: lane Burton. He humbles the football and the Eagles have
Speaker 1: it again. Turnovers bumble by a light Burnon. This defense
Speaker 1: now is only given up two touchdowns and seven plus
Speaker 1: quarters of football. I think that's pretty impressive. He's talk again,
Speaker 1: He's talks to run, He's hit, he fumbles the the
Speaker 1: Eagles have it. The final score the Eagles never Eagle
Speaker 1: Bearers twenty nine. The fourth team Hello, everybody, and welcome
Speaker 1: to the Eagles. Three sixty names for Naro Eagles insider
Speaker 1: Brian Westbrook, Eagles Hall of Famer, and we're two happy
Speaker 1: guys on this Tuesday, the Eagles two and oh after
Speaker 1: the Monday they went in Chicago. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: it right here. We're gonna hear from Doug Peterson. First, Brian,
Speaker 1: I want to hear some thoughts up. Impressive performance all around.
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about Carson Wentz. But there's more to it
Speaker 1: than number eleven. Well, I think it starts with your head, coach.
Speaker 1: I mean, he continues to put Carson Wentz in good positions.
Speaker 1: You love the things that he's doing. He starts the
Speaker 1: game in the empty set. We have a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1: You try to protect them, you try to run the football.
Speaker 1: You don't do some of the things that Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: is doing. But he starts a game in an empty set.
Speaker 1: He allows his quarterback to see the blitz is coming
Speaker 1: from the lets, the lap in the right. I love
Speaker 1: what Doug Peterson's doing. He's protecting his quarterback is just
Speaker 1: in a different way. And this kid is so unflappable.
Speaker 1: But what you really recognize is he has all the
Speaker 1: physical ability to make every throw, but it's the mental thing, Brian.
Speaker 1: The Eagles have not turned the football over in two games.
Speaker 1: They've been highly efficient on third down and in the
Speaker 1: red zone, and Carson Wentz really has been on point
Speaker 1: going to the right spots. Had a couple of drops
Speaker 1: on Monday night didn't phase him at all. Up and down.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that rookie struggled with their consistency.
Speaker 1: There's too many roller coasters the up and down. We're
Speaker 1: not seeing that. We're Carson Wentz. We're seeing a quarterback
Speaker 1: that's good every single week. He's making the right decisions,
Speaker 1: going to the right guy under pressure. That's what you
Speaker 1: want to see from a young quarterback. As a result,
Speaker 1: the Eagles two and oh, we'll talk about the offense
Speaker 1: and the defense as well as a really kind of
Speaker 1: a shaky special team's performance on Monday and all of
Speaker 1: that combined on this short week as the Eagles get
Speaker 1: ready for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And with that we get
Speaker 1: you ready. It's our Eagles three sixty updates with Alex
Speaker 1: Smith Doug Peterson meeting the media on this Tuesday. Hi, everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Smith here with your three sixty update. The
Speaker 1: Eagles players had the day off today on Tuesday after
Speaker 1: Monday Night's big twenty nine to fourteen win over the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, but we did hear from Eagles head coach
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson as he met with the media inside the auditorium,
Speaker 1: and the first order of business for coach Peterson was
Speaker 1: to offer an injury update as he updated the statusus
Speaker 1: of zach Ertz, Leois McKelvin, and also added Michael Kendricks
Speaker 1: to the injury report. As you know was zach Ertz
Speaker 1: and leotis obviously no change with them. Michael Kendricks knows
Speaker 1: fracture quad continue. Um, he'll be fine again day to day,
Speaker 1: but he should be uh, he should be okay for
Speaker 1: for this for this Weekend's game against Pittsburgh Monday night
Speaker 1: was another masterful performance from rookie Carson Wentz in his
Speaker 1: second NFL start and his first ever road game. He
Speaker 1: threw for one touchdown to go along with one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety passing yards, despite the fact that his receivers
Speaker 1: had a couple of costly drops. But coach Peterson said
Speaker 1: today that he and the coaching staff remained very confident
Speaker 1: in the Eagles receivers. You know, they they just continue
Speaker 1: to work every day and and uh, um, you know
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes things like that happened. They know, I mean,
Speaker 1: they understand it. They're their professionals, and they they pride
Speaker 1: themselves obviously catching the football. And you could tell last
Speaker 1: night that they were, um, they were mad at themselves.
Speaker 1: I mean, those are those are You're right, those are
Speaker 1: big plays. And you know, we'll continue to you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to stop calling plays to them because
Speaker 1: I know they're they're they're explosive guys for us, and
Speaker 1: and we just we just got to continue to work. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: reports did surface early on Tuesday morning that right tackle
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson will indeed be handed a ten game suspension
Speaker 1: for a performance enhancing drug violation. Coach Peterson addressed that
Speaker 1: report earlier today. Until I hear from the league office,
Speaker 1: lane's my starting right tackle. Well, if if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then we go back to what we did in train
Speaker 1: account and and we but until that time, you know,
Speaker 1: we're full go. Until then. You can catch all of
Speaker 1: Coach Peterson's press conference from earlier today right here on

Speaker 1: up next we're gonna talk about the offense and of
Speaker 1: course Carson Wentz leading the way the Eagles a balanced

Speaker 1: you back to Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero, Brian Westbrook.
Speaker 1: The Eagles coming off another win on the road in
Speaker 1: Chicago twenty nine to fourteen. So let's talk about some
Speaker 1: of the things we saw on the offense. And let's
Speaker 1: begin Brian with Carson Wentz, who came out six of
Speaker 1: six on the first drive, the Eagles showing so much
Speaker 1: confidence in him, and after a little bit of a lull,
Speaker 1: he picked it back up in the second half. When
Speaker 1: you talk about a young quarterback, you talk about the consistency,
Speaker 1: you talk about the accuracy. He's throwing the ball to
Speaker 1: the receivers in great position. So many times you hear
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks. They're doing back shoulder throws, which sometimes gonna
Speaker 1: be good, but that doesn't give the receiver an opportunity
Speaker 1: to catch the ball and run. Carson Wentz is putting
Speaker 1: it in the perfect position for these receivers so they
Speaker 1: can catch the ball and run. That's all. They're gonna
Speaker 1: make more confidence in the receiver in their quarterback. That's
Speaker 1: a great thing to have with between the receivers in
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We've also seen him really handle the blitz.
Speaker 1: We've seen him hanging in the pocket. Takes some hits.
Speaker 1: If he's your teammate, if he's your quarterback, what does
Speaker 1: it mean to you that he's standing staring down the
Speaker 1: barrel of the gun and throwing bullets. That's what you
Speaker 1: love to see. You want to see a young guy
Speaker 1: standing in the pocket. Now, there's some hits that I
Speaker 1: just do not want Carson Wentz to be taking. He's
Speaker 1: getting outside of the pocket scrambling and I want him
Speaker 1: to get out of bounce on some of those plays.
Speaker 1: But when you have a quarterback that's willing to stand
Speaker 1: in the face of a blitz and complete the ball
Speaker 1: accurately down the field, that's what you're looking for. In
Speaker 1: a young guy. He almost has it all. There's a
Speaker 1: couple of little things that he needs to change, but
Speaker 1: he's doing a great job. It's quarterback in this team
Speaker 1: so far, and he and the coaching staff really in sync. Brian.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the things that you've seen
Speaker 1: from the design of the offense. The Eagles lose zachert
Speaker 1: for the game, they put in Trey Burton. He catches
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass on a really kind of a cool
Speaker 1: screen to the tight end in goal line situations, and
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of that. You never see
Speaker 1: those types of things, and I think that's the imprint
Speaker 1: that Doug Peterson has on his football team. He's calling
Speaker 1: some plays and doing some things that you never really
Speaker 1: see and from a rookie coach as well as a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. But just for you, as you mentioned that
Speaker 1: played to Trey Burton, you don't run that play on
Speaker 1: the gold line. That's because things are so closed in
Speaker 1: on the gold line. But Doug Peterson runs it, Trey
Speaker 1: Burton walks into the end zone. There's a couple of
Speaker 1: other situations we talked about. You're starting a Monday night
Speaker 1: football game. One of your first away games for your
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback and you have them in the empty set.
Speaker 1: They're gonna blitz them, They're gonna try to get after them.
Speaker 1: But you have him in an empty set. That's only
Speaker 1: because you know your quarterback can handle it. You know
Speaker 1: that he can see the blitz coming. That's a great
Speaker 1: thing to have from the communication standpoint from your head
Speaker 1: coach to your quarterback. So let's break that down. An
Speaker 1: empty set is generally a sign for the defense to
Speaker 1: go after the quarterback. That's an automatic right. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the thing. When you have a rookie quarterback,
Speaker 1: you're saying, hey, let's protect them. Let's use max protection.
Speaker 1: Get eight guys in the backfield so we can make
Speaker 1: sure that our quarterback is not getting hidden because we
Speaker 1: don't want them to get beat up, and we want
Speaker 1: to we don't want to ruin his confidence. But what
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson said is that we're going to empty the backfield.
Speaker 1: The only person we have back there is Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: We understand that he can see the blitz coming and
Speaker 1: he can get the ball out. One of the major
Speaker 1: things that rookie quarterbacks do they hold onto the ball
Speaker 1: a little bit too long, We're not seeing that from
Speaker 1: our quarterback. I think we're also seeing the wide receivers
Speaker 1: come alive a bit here now. There were a couple
Speaker 1: of drops. Jordan Matthews had the big drop down the sideline.
Speaker 1: Nelson Agiloor didn't come up with some of the tough
Speaker 1: catches in the end zone. If there is life, there's
Speaker 1: no question about it. They seem revitalized with Carson went
Speaker 1: throwing him the football. You know, last year we were
Speaker 1: kind of down on nesson Aguilar, But what we are
Speaker 1: seeing now is a kid that has an explosion. We're
Speaker 1: seeing that explosion that we saw at USC. He's getting
Speaker 1: off the football, he's exploding up the field and he
Speaker 1: has the ability to make those big plays. We've been
Speaker 1: waiting for that all season long. I think just having
Speaker 1: that confidence with the quarterback, the offensive coordinator as well
Speaker 1: as the head coach has brought him a long way.
Speaker 1: Making the big play last week definitely has helped him.
Speaker 1: The run game still not where the Eagles wanted to be.
Speaker 1: What are you seeing from that? They're getting a little penetration,
Speaker 1: and you know when you have a big guy right
Speaker 1: over top of your center, Jason Kelsey, who is not
Speaker 1: as big as some of the other centers in the league.
Speaker 1: That's going to ruin your run game right there. I
Speaker 1: think Doug has to do a better job of protecting Jason,
Speaker 1: especially when you have a nose guard that's three thirty
Speaker 1: plus right over top of them. If they can do that,
Speaker 1: and I think Ryan Matthews can get going. We know
Speaker 1: that Ryan Matthews is a physical running back. If you
Speaker 1: give him a small hole, he can get right through
Speaker 1: there and use his speed to deliver a big run.
Speaker 1: We just need to be more consistent in it, and
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line playing together will go a
Speaker 1: long way with that. And once again, four running backs
Speaker 1: used in the ground game. The Eagles three of five
Speaker 1: in the red zone, so still a lot of production
Speaker 1: for them inside opponent's twenty yard line. So it was
Speaker 1: an uneven performance, but you look at it, Brian and
Speaker 1: the Eagles two plays away from scoring forty points. You
Speaker 1: love to see that. The big drops, you hate to
Speaker 1: see those types of things, But the Eagles are scoring
Speaker 1: points in places where you really didn't think they were
Speaker 1: gonna score those types of points. I'm so happy about
Speaker 1: this offense, and this is just the beginning. They still
Speaker 1: have some ways to go. They still can get better
Speaker 1: in the run game, They still can get better in
Speaker 1: their drops. If Carson Wentz continues to get better, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how good he's going to be. It's amazing,
Speaker 1: it's very exciting, kind of scary. Yeah, it really is
Speaker 1: in a good way. Yes, right, So let's our talk
Speaker 1: about the offense. When we return to the Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk defense again. A dominating performance for the
Speaker 1: Eagles who understand that the bigger challenges are directly ahead.
Speaker 1: This portion of Eagles three sixty was presented by Apple

Speaker 1: We're back at Eagles three sixty Dave Spadaro, Brian Westbrook.
Speaker 1: Player's day off on Tuesday. They get back to the
Speaker 1: practice field on Wednesday. You know what it's like, right,
Speaker 1: You get back from Chicago at three thirty in the morning,
Speaker 1: and you'd like to sleep in. You like to sleep in,
Speaker 1: but you're right back at it because you know you
Speaker 1: have a big test coming up in the next week.
Speaker 1: But it's always great when you come back home after
Speaker 1: a win. That's the most important part. Now we're talking
Speaker 1: defense here, Brian, and talking about a big test. This
Speaker 1: doesn't get any bigger than the Pittsburgh Steelers. So what
Speaker 1: do we know about the Eagles defense? After two games
Speaker 1: Monday night again, three more sacks, takeaways, pressures in the backfield,
Speaker 1: a quarterback knocked out of the game. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about this defense? Two games in? You know you
Speaker 1: have to start again with your defensive coordinator. I love
Speaker 1: what Jim Sports is doing. He's putting it his defense
Speaker 1: in an aggressive position. He's saying telling my defense is
Speaker 1: is get up the field, get some pressure on the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox, Benny Logan, get up the field, get some
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback. Now, I canna let my secondary
Speaker 1: just play free because they know the quarterback is not
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of time in the pocket
Speaker 1: to throw the football. I love what Jim Sports is doing.
Speaker 1: They're getting the turnovers. Anytime that you're defense can get
Speaker 1: the ball back to your offense, that's a plus. They're
Speaker 1: doing those small things, so upfront they're doing the job.
Speaker 1: There's a good fit with the linebackers. And then on
Speaker 1: Monday night, the cornerbacks really challenged here without starter Leodis McKelvin,
Speaker 1: the Eagles starting Ron Brooks outside, sliding it into the
Speaker 1: slot on the nickel and bringing in the rookie seventh
Speaker 1: round draft picked Jalen Mills. Now, the Eagles got burned
Speaker 1: once down the field Austan Jeffrey forty nine yards. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: not bad. They weren't very bad at all. I think
Speaker 1: on that play with to Al Sean. They just didn't
Speaker 1: get the pressure that they needed to every now and
Speaker 1: then Jay Cutler escaped the pocket. But Jim Sports adjusted
Speaker 1: the defense. Now he had the defensive ends making sure
Speaker 1: they stay it outside, make sure Jay Cutler stays in
Speaker 1: the pockets have to throw the football, and they adjusted.
Speaker 1: That's the big thing. You're going to get beat from
Speaker 1: time to time. But can you make those adjustments and
Speaker 1: stop those big time plays now on special teams, we
Speaker 1: expect more from special teams instead. On Monday Night, while
Speaker 1: Caleb Sturgis made all three of his field goals, he
Speaker 1: missed an extra point and the Eagles giving up a
Speaker 1: sixty five yard punt return for a touchdown to Eddie Royal.
Speaker 1: And I know that that is Dave Phipps Balliwick here
Speaker 1: is going to be in the meeting rooms pointing out
Speaker 1: all the mistakes, teaching point. You can't have any kind
Speaker 1: of breakdowns with the Pittsburgh Steelers coming to town. Well,
Speaker 1: in this game, it didn't hurt you very much, but
Speaker 1: in a game like we have coming up in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: you can have to make everything count. You can't make
Speaker 1: those types of mistakes because you know the Steelers are
Speaker 1: going to score points. You know, their defenses continue to
Speaker 1: get better. We have to win the field position battle.
Speaker 1: That includes not allow allowing punts to be returned. If
Speaker 1: you're going to punt to a guy like Eddie Royal,
Speaker 1: a guy that's explosive, pin him to the sideline. Don't
Speaker 1: kick the ball in the middle of the field. That
Speaker 1: means if you put him in the middle field, he
Speaker 1: can go right or left. It's just too much feel
Speaker 1: to defend. You have to be smarter as a punter.
Speaker 1: He goes doing a pretty good job kick returns. Win
Speaker 1: those Smallwood's got a bit of a burst, as does
Speaker 1: Josh Still went Darren Sproles to bust one. It's time
Speaker 1: he got one in the first week, got a forty
Speaker 1: yard in the first week. But you went all the
Speaker 1: way Well, of course no, Darren does it in a
Speaker 1: whole different level better than me. But I'll tell you what,
Speaker 1: he's an explosive guy. He's one of those guys. Just
Speaker 1: like I mentioned, you don't want to allow him to
Speaker 1: kiss the ball in the middle. In the middle of
Speaker 1: the field. If I'm a punter, I'm kick into the sideline.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to allow Darren Sproles to affect the game.
Speaker 1: That's what the smart punters would do. Every now and
Speaker 1: then you get a punter that I'll allow him to
Speaker 1: catch the ball in the middle field. That's when you
Speaker 1: see the big place from Darrens brows. And finally, the
Speaker 1: Eagles have given up two count of two touchdowns defensively
Speaker 1: these first two weeks. But of course it all gets
Speaker 1: much more difficult on Sunday with the Steelies coming to town.
Speaker 1: We've got more to get to here on Eagles three
Speaker 1: sixty when we return, we'll talk about some breakthrough performers
Speaker 1: from Monday nights game and look ahead to the Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: Steelers two and O teams. The state of Pennsylvania's bragging
Speaker 1: rights on the lines and no doubt about it, a
Speaker 1: litmus test for this young, upstart Philadelphia Eagles football team.
Speaker 1: Googlden outside or fluffy inside, deep pockets or delicious ridges,
Speaker 1: tasty eggs or savory bacage. Experienced Duncan's new Belgian waffle,
Speaker 1: breakfast sandwich. It's not this or that, it's all of it.
Speaker 1: America runs. I'm Duncan. I enjoyed gardening. I like to
Speaker 1: plant seeds and watchwood grows. Several years ago, I fell,
Speaker 1: so I went to my local orthopedic doctor, who performed
Speaker 1: the knee replacement. After a year of a lot of pain,
Speaker 1: I decided I needed a second opinion, so I went
Speaker 1: to Rothman at Jefferson. As soon as the doctor operated
Speaker 1: on me, if I could tell right away that things
Speaker 1: were totally different. Now I can garden again, I can kneel,
Speaker 1: and I'm just very very grateful for Rothman at Jefferson Hospital.
Speaker 1: I sept to Philly. I sept the Philly the bus,
Speaker 1: the trolley, the train, Jefferson Station, Airport line, sixty ninth Street,
Speaker 1: Broad Street to the game PAOLDI sher and Hill Chestnut
Speaker 1: Hill Regional Rail. I sept to Philly the Broad Street
Speaker 1: line on game days, I love Modega to the movies,
Speaker 1: to my Parkway Spring Garden, Late Night, West Philly, South Philly.
Speaker 1: Introducing Duncan's new coold Brew Coffee Steve slowly in cool
Speaker 1: water for small batches with an altrue, smooth, full bodied flavor.
Speaker 1: Discovered the craft of cool brew today and Keep On
Speaker 1: America runs on Duncan Time. Now to talk about some
Speaker 1: break through performers twenty nine to fourteen win over the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears and Brian and we all know that Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz is the storyline here and that Jordan Matthews a
Speaker 1: big game, trade Burton and bigging, But underneath the surface
Speaker 1: a lot of players contributing to this. Who's your breakout performer?
Speaker 1: You know you mentioned my breakout performer Trey Burton. He's
Speaker 1: a guy that he didn't play in the first week,
Speaker 1: but he contributed in a little way. You talk about
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz being a security blanket for Carson Wentz to
Speaker 1: your young quarterback, you just you just input Trey Burton.
Speaker 1: You allow them to get the ball near the gold line.
Speaker 1: Five catches for forty nine yards and a touchdown. That's
Speaker 1: a big time performance for a guy that didn't even
Speaker 1: play the first week. Okay, So for me, my breakthrough
Speaker 1: performer New Eagle linebacker Nigel Bradham. Nice interception, nice return
Speaker 1: to the two yard line. Should have scored that cuts down.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say this about Nigel Bradam. He followed
Speaker 1: up a really strong performance in Week one where he
Speaker 1: was a tackling machine against the Cleveland Browns, and we
Speaker 1: saw his range and coverage on Monday night, dropping into
Speaker 1: coverage keeping his eyes on Cutler, moves into the right position,
Speaker 1: makes the interception, and then gets to the sideline for
Speaker 1: the return. Very impressed with Nigel. Just a really solid, physical,
Speaker 1: strong side linebacker that we haven't had here since Carlos.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. The more the more you never, This
Speaker 1: is the thing for outside linebackers. If you don't hear
Speaker 1: their name, that means they're doing the job the right way.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of linebackers that have the ability
Speaker 1: to rest the quarterback, to stop the tight end at
Speaker 1: the line of scrimpers, and if the interception comes to
Speaker 1: you be able to catch it and return it a
Speaker 1: little bit. We saw that all from Nigel Bradham last
Speaker 1: night in the first week as well. I like what
Speaker 1: he's doing on the defensive side of the football. All right,
Speaker 1: So that's look ahead. Pittsburgh comes to town. Who's your
Speaker 1: breakthrough performer for Sunday. Well, it's hard to go with
Speaker 1: just one guy, because I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: collective team that's gonna be able to beat this football
Speaker 1: team coming in from Pittsburgh. But it's gonna be the secondary.
Speaker 1: They have a big time talent. Antonio Brown is He's
Speaker 1: the truth. He's a guy that you have to stop.
Speaker 1: Of course, Big Ben can throw the ball to anyone,
Speaker 1: but if you can sometime some way slow down to
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, then you have a big chance of beating
Speaker 1: this football team. So it's gonna be a collective effort
Speaker 1: from the entire secondary. We're talking about corners, say these slobbies.
Speaker 1: We're gonna everyone has to play a part in this.
Speaker 1: Get a little chip on him, into the line of scrimmers,
Speaker 1: and be physical down the field. I think we have
Speaker 1: a good shot in doing that. Boy he's tough, more
Speaker 1: than one hundred catches on his way to a huge season,
Speaker 1: and he's quick. He gets off the ball very very well.
Speaker 1: You have to sometime some way slow him down. What
Speaker 1: a well rounded offense coming to town on Sunday. I'm
Speaker 1: going to focus on the offensive side of the ball
Speaker 1: for the Eagles for my breakthrough performer, and that's Nelson
Speaker 1: agil Or, Eagles wide receiver who has shown more life
Speaker 1: in these first two weeks of the regular season. I
Speaker 1: think his confidence has been built up. I think he's
Speaker 1: ready to play his best ball. He's got a lot
Speaker 1: of faith in Carson Wentzon. I just think that Nelson
Speaker 1: Aguiler believes in himself after the first week touchdown, after
Speaker 1: some nice catches on Monday Night, Now it's a matter
Speaker 1: of making the difficult catches and securing the football. He
Speaker 1: had a couple of opportunities to do so on Monday night.
Speaker 1: At some point you have to get rid of the drops.
Speaker 1: But you love his ability to now get off the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. One of the things that I was
Speaker 1: concerned in as far as the preseason was that he
Speaker 1: wasn't explosive. But in the first week he was very
Speaker 1: explosive against Joe Hayden and just building that confidence off
Speaker 1: of beating up a Pro Bowl caliber cornerback. That means
Speaker 1: something to a young kid in his confidence. I think
Speaker 1: he built on that and we saw a different guy yesterday.
Speaker 1: He looked like a different type of receiver. Hopefully that
Speaker 1: that ball continues to roll down the hill and gets
Speaker 1: better and better every single week. And the one early
Speaker 1: chance he had down the field, he actually had a
Speaker 1: step and a half on a cornerback ball was underthrown
Speaker 1: from Carson, but you saw the separation that we did
Speaker 1: not see in his rookie season. That's why I think
Speaker 1: he have a big game against the Steelers on Sunday.
Speaker 1: One more segment to go here on Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: Brian and I will talk about what's ahead for the
Speaker 1: Eagles a short week as they get ready for the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. This portion of Eagles three sixty was presented

Speaker 1: What's ahead for the Philadelphia Eagles during this short week, Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you. Welcome back to Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: David Brian Here time for our amor Rosso's on the menu.
Speaker 1: Look at what's going on tomorrow here on Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot Com and Eagles three sixty. We'll take our first
Speaker 1: look at the Pittsburgh Steelers two and oh after wins
Speaker 1: over Washington and Cincinnati head coach Doug Peterson in studio.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to him about well, we'll talk about Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz why not? Why not? Who also meets the media
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and we'll deliver an unflappable performance. I'm sure
Speaker 1: have you ever seen it? Brian? A kid? This unflappable.
Speaker 1: I've never seen a young guy put in the situation
Speaker 1: that Doug has put him in play so well. So
Speaker 1: that is our amrosos on the menu. Look at what's ahead,
Speaker 1: amor rosso. The Philly sandwiches are famous. So, Bryan, some
Speaker 1: final thoughts. Here is Eagles getting ready for Pittsburgh. This
Speaker 1: is the game. They go into the bye week after
Speaker 1: this game. How big is it? Well, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: It's gonna be huge. I mean, you want to go
Speaker 1: into the bye week on a strong note, even though
Speaker 1: you're playing a super Bowl contender in the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1: You want to make sure that you go out there
Speaker 1: and show your best, because what you don't want to
Speaker 1: do is going to the bye week thinking we should
Speaker 1: have did this, we could have did that, We need
Speaker 1: to do things better. They have to come out there
Speaker 1: and perform. One thing that would go a long way
Speaker 1: into this team getting to win this week is a
Speaker 1: front four. Can you get around Big Ben? Not only
Speaker 1: just the round him? Can you bring him down? Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger has made a living in the NFL with extending
Speaker 1: plays and then finding receivers downfield. Just because he's so big,
Speaker 1: he's able to elude the rush. Make sure you not
Speaker 1: only get your arms around him, but you bring him
Speaker 1: to the ground. If you're able to do that, then
Speaker 1: you have a much better chance of winning this football game.
Speaker 1: For two weeks, Eagles have controlled the football, they've controlled
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, they've controlled the scoreboard. And now
Speaker 1: comes the first really huge test of the two thousand
Speaker 1: sixteen season, the Pittsburgh Steelers. So we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: all week as we get closer to Sunday. Brian Westbrook,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining you. Good stuff Eagles two
Speaker 1: and oh Dave Spidero here, we thank you for joining
Speaker 1: us on Eagles three to sixty. Everybody, have yourselves a
Speaker 1: great Eagles Day.
