In fact, 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.520 if you go back to the long story of history 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.080 between these two teams, they have never had this good 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.720 a record hiring this matchup this late in this season. 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.880 This is arguably two of the best teams in the conference, 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.319 both playing outstanding football this point. There should be a 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.080 great when we're looking forward to that kind of left 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.279 to get to before we get the Sunday. First things first, 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.640 Eagles getting some good news today on the injury front, 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.520 and for that we throw it out the bow Wolf 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.759 Our Eagles three sixty update presented by Sports Authority. Well, 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.280 it was a day of getting back to work at 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.160 the Novacare Complex here on Tuesday, as the Eagles returned 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.440 to practice here at the Novocare Complex after last week's 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.720 bye week and they got a lot of healthy bodies 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.120 back here on the practice field. It wasn't a padded practice, 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.319 but there were plenty of returning players like Darren Sproules, 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.040 who was injured a couple weeks ago, like Jason Kelsey, 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.520 like Evan Mathis, who didn't practice today. But we'll practice 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.080 on Wednesday, said head coach Chip Kelly. And we talked 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.800 to a few of those returning players, Sprules and Kelsey 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.120 specifically about what it was like to get back in 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.040 the action. Obviously I wasn't full participant. I was just 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.240 kind of out there moving around. I'm still hesitant to 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:58.000 put a date on it, even if matthis isn't But 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.040 you know, we all really focused on this week is 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:03.680 being prepared for Arizona and making sure that we have 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.200 a game plan down for that. We got our hands full. Yeah, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.120 Darren's out there. He was moving around. He looks real good. 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.079 But you know, it's just, you know, it's how he feels. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.119 You know, no one knows how he feels but him. 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.760 So you know, we just gotta, you know, hope for 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.359 the best. Like when you played his game, your goal 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.880 is to play like you know what I'm saying, Like whatever, 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.720 it takes you to play. That's what I'm all about. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.720 Quarterback Nick Foles. His feelings towards Darren Sproles were made 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.440 clear if you watch that miked up segment against the Giants. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.519 He very much values his little running back teammate, and 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.079 Foles talked about what it would mean to get Sproles 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.359 back and what it will mean once he gets that 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.080 offensive line back intact. It's great. Uh it was. It 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.120 didn't look good. I was right there when it happened. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.080 It didn't look good. But he's a resilient guy and 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.359 he's very He's taking some hits in his career, and uh, 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:50.799 it was great to have him back out there. He's 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.320 recovering fast. Kelsey wasn't able to do monkey out there, 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.080 but just to see him, you know, yeah, just to 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.880 see him out there, see mathis out there. Just getting 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.280 guys back is is always great. Getting them healthy. They've 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.200 been approaching every single day since they've been injured with 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.560 great work and recovery and it's shown because they're getting 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.360 out here fast. That is your three sixty update, presented 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.919 by Sports Authority. Tomorrow, we look forward to hearing from 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.200 offensive coordinator Pat Shermer and defensive coordinator Bill Davis. It's 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.600 great that the offensive line is closer to coming together. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.560 And later on in the show, I'll talk to one 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.840 of the key pieces of that offensive line, a right 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.760 tuckle Lane Johnson one on one. But our next Instuti 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.760 interview is a head coach himself, Dave. Yeah. Chip Kelly's 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.000 stopping by for his Tuesday one on one and he's 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.600 got some updates for us. How did some of those 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.920 injured Eagles look in practice? Will find out when Eagles 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:51.440 three sixty returns. Septa is the way to get to 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.600 a game. I love taking the subway down there because 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.000 I feel like i'm you know, with all fans. Everybody's 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.440 got their gear on. People are channing and cheering on 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.520 the train before you can get to the stag because 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.000 it says of camaraderi because Billy loves their sports teams. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.240 It's really fun. It's Philadelphia. Hi. My name is Jim Taylor. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.720 I've been with back Me for thirty four years. Our 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.120 lengths to bram Beef is the best around. We cut 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.720 our meat fresh every day and we actually have customers 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.200 come from other stores just for our meat. Freshness is 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.119 our number one priority. No One beats, our fresh fish. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.599 We have the precious apple, the Christie's lettuce fresh produces. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.520 What we do, we do the best cake decorading in 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.960 the area, hands down, one hundred and twenty three years straw. 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.520 Come on in. You'll see the changes, you'll feel it, 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:41.719 You'll love it. A life is more than a heartbeat. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.679 It's more than what you see on a cat scan 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:50.040 or echo cardiogram. And although we see some of the 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.279 most rare and complicated heart conditions and continue to advance 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.960 the frontiers of heartcare every day, we never forget what 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:05.279 we're really looking at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals. When I 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.080 was a little kid, I thought riding sept it was 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.680 just the coolest thing. I thought, I'm on this big 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.680 piece of metal blazing down these tracks. There's people ringing 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.840 bells above me, there's honking going on, there's trees flying by. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:29.360 It's fantastic. We welcome you into the studio. Dave Spendero 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.920 joined by head coach Chip Kelly. The Eagles back at 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.080 work training session today. Everybody excited after the bye week. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.200 In coach, everybody really excited to see Darren Sproles on 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.440 the field. Michael Kendricks, Jason Kelsey, all those guys. Chris Polka, 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.279 what can you tell us about how they performed out there? 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.400 They look good. What's the next step in there? In 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.040 there just weekly from today's training, and today's a light 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.960 day for us, so we'll see. We won't know anything 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.160 until later on in the week. For them to get 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.440 back out there, it seems just a lot of energy 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:58.920 in the building. I mean not just because of them 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.920 being out there, but just coming back from the bye week. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.719 At our guys are excited to play football, they're excited 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.000 to train football. So they get a chance to get 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.479 back out on the field. They got a break, you 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.360 know for us that happened at the midway point and season. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.480 We played ten games so far, four preseason, sixth regular season, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.160 and it's kind of a halfway point for us, and 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.799 they were excited to be back out the field. Arizona 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.440 Cardinals five and one. What have you seen studying that team? 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.679 Very good team, great personnel, you know, obviously offensively, Carson 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.720 Palmer is back playing very very high level right now. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.719 He's got some outstanding receivers and Larry Fitzgerald and Floyd 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.160 you throw the young rookie John Brown in there, who's 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.640 a real speedster and can do a lot of different things. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.480 They got an outstanding running back and Andrea Ellington, a 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.880 couple really good tight ends, the old lines playing well. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.400 You know, they do a lot of different things. Offensively, 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.080 Bruce is known as an offensive you know, kind of 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:49.640 a mind and does a really good job with them. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.200 And then defensively, they're very talented. Two outstanding corners and 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.440 Patrick Peterson and Cromartie. Dan Williams is as good a 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.280 nosegard as there is in the league. They're playing really 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.520 well at the linebacker with a Rackpo on the outside 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.320 and Acho on the outside, and then Larry Foot's doing 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:05.760 a really good job. And they play in a lot 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.440 of different packages on giving you a lot of different looks. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.400 So it's it's gonna be There's there's a reason they're 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.040 five and one. They're a talented team. That's gonna be 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.640 a heck of a game. First, and Palmer had some 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.320 injuries earlier that nerve probably looked if you look as 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.120 good as he did pre injury, Yeah, well he looked 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.240 really good in this last game against Oakland, So I 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.280 don't know what he did from a rehab standpoint, but 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.200 he looked really sharp. What kind of challenge is it 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.679 to have Fitzgerald and Floyd and Brown and Andre Ellington 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.000 kind of does it all? What kind of challenges that 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.200 they've got a lot of weapons, you know, and you 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:32.960 just can't focus in on one because they have so 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.600 many weapons. So you know, you got to be sounding 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.920 in your approach from a defensive standpoint when you attack 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.080 these guys. Chip one of the players I want to 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.800 talk about here, dmik O. Ryan's one of your veteran leaders. 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.480 Played hurt on Sunday, two Sundays to go against the Giants. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.440 Never complains always on the field, and the way the 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.840 players speak about him, it's with such respects, almost a reverence. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:55.960 Can you talk about what he brings to you on 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.680 and obviously he's a tremendous football player, a great leader. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.520 I would argue that he didn't play because if he 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:01.920 was hurt, we wouldn't have played him. So he was 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:06.080 healthy and ready to go. Does a great job in 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.400 terms of getting our defense lined up. He makes all 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.280 the calls for us, is a real student of the game, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.400 always puts us in the right situation. Is a tough, 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.360 physical football player, and I think everybody in the locker 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.520 room just respects him because not only his approach to 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.680 the game, but the way he lives at every single day, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.360 and then the way he comes to work every single 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.200 day and the professionalism that he shows and in what 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.000 he does. And he's always study and tape, He's always 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.680 on top of things. He does a great job with 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.400 the younger guys really kind of coaching them in our defense. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.160 And uh, you know, he's he's a guy that everybody 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.719 in this organization looks up to. You run across so 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.800 many guys like that in your coaching career. Now he's 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.480 one of the real special guys. You know that there's 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.800 just everything you want and a football player both on 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.440 and off the field, and that's what you're looking for. 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.520 Trent Cole interesting story. One of the most prolific sackers 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.040 in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles eight years with 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:55.920 his hand in the ground, has made the transition here 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.319 to the stand up linebacker position. Why what's he done 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.240 so well to be so productive? I just think it's 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.400 the same Trent that everybody's seen. He's very relentless in 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.920 terms of his pursuit of whether it be the ball 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.480 carrier or the quarterback. He's he's physical. I mean, he's 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.559 always been a physical football player. Um, the differences, he's 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.160 just doing it from a two point stance now as 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.040 opposed to a three point stance. But another just football 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.960 player that you love to see run around. You love 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.400 to see the passion that in the energy that Trent 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.320 plays with. I'm on that team and I'm gonna go 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.000 to the offensive side here with with Brent Sellick, You've 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.559 talked about him and his selflessness and it really does 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.120 seem to permeate through the locker room, that approach to 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.520 the to the day every every day. Yeah, you know, 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.319 Brent's another guy that just does everything you ask and 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.640 that you ask him to do on a daily basis 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.000 as a football player. You know, he isn't really concerned 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.120 with the overall statistics, doesn't care if he has a catcher, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.960 has a great block. He just wants to contribute to 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.439 the victory. And um, you know, has really set a 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.160 tone for for a lot of guys in this program 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.160 in terms of his approach ship. It's a road game 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.720 on Sunday, Arizona, tough team, tough venue. A lot of 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.160 Eagles fans is going to be on the road once 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.280 again supporting the football team. What does it matter? What 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.240 does it mean to this team to have so much 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.880 green and white in the stands? Yeah, you get excited 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.080 anytime you see Eagles fans no matter where we go, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.520 and we've always got a great reception.

Bryce Brown Buffalo? Yes, sure enough. C J. 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.760 Spiller fracture's collar bones of Bryce Brown likely adds a 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.520 mix because he's someone that you should add your fantasy roster. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.400 Come up now is our it's been with Bo Wolf 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.600 and Joe Dolan from Fantasy Guru dot com. Back from 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.679 the bye. It's bow Wolf and Joe Dolan for your 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.079 fantasy spin, as we do every week here on Philadelphia 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.200 Eagles dot com. Joe, of course, the managing editor of 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.040 Fantasy Guru dot com and Joe. Let's talk about the 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.319 matchup for the Eagles this week, coming off that by 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.240 going out to Arizona against the first placed Cardinals, a 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.800 very good defense, but a defense that like last year, 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.160 is vulnerable against tight ends. Is zach Ertz a big 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.160 player for you this week? Yeah? Absolutely, Bo, He had 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.240 the two touchdowns against the Cardinals last year. He actually 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:32.960 had sixty eight yards in that game, which was his 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.680 season high during the regular season. And I'll tell you 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.640 what zach Ertz. I think really had the bounce back 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.040 game against the Giants a couple weeks ago that we 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.880 needed to see from him to start putting him back 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.800 in our lineups. And I just thought it was a 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.400 matter of Nick Foles and zach Ertz getting on the 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.280 same page. We saw Foles with some inaccurate throws in 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.800 previous weeks, but Ertz also was dropping the pass here 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.520 and there against the Rams. You might make that example, 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:57.959 but I think this is a great week for them 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.240 to continue what they started last week the Giants. Zach 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.120 Ertz in a league that's been really, really tough for 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.120 tight ends for fantasy, especially this past week, I am 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.160 excited to put him back in my lineup this week. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.280 Big trade in the NFL last week, Percy Harvin going 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.160 from the Seahawks to the Jets. Likeank, you, Percy Harvin 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.280 a little bit of a distraction in the locker room, 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.880 but he gets it done on the field when it matters. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.640 What do you make of the trade for both signs 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.640 for the Seahawks and the Jets. Well, when it comes 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.000 to Percy Harvon, if I have Percy Harmon, I'm probably 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.360 excited about this move because the way I look at 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.440 it is he wasn't doing anything anyway. You know, he 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.400 averaged six yards a catch on twenty two catches this year. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.560 That is really not getting it done. He averaged fewer 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.640 yards per catch than Darren Sproles has per rush, so 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.480 he really wasn't doing a whole lot for the Seattle Seahawks. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.160 And if you watched Russell Wilson this week against the Rams, 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.880 even in a loss, he had a monster game. So 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.040 I didn't think the trade hurt Russell Wilson at all. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.120 But for Percy Harvin, I think if he gets force 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.400 fed the ball in New York, which is more is 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.080 more possible than it was in Seattle, I think it's 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.200 gonna work out for both sides. For fan it reeks 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.360 of a desperation move for the Jets for me, but 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.480 ultimately I think this is a pretty good move for 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.280 both sides. For Fantasy Purple, you mentioned the Seahawks lost 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.520 to the Rams, a big surprise, but a big surprise 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.960 in the Rams backfield as well as Zach Stacy no 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.680 carries on the field for one snap. I believe Benny Cunningham, 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.320 who he thought was the number two guy, had a 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.760 receiving touchdown, but he wasn't the main guy. It was 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.520 the rookie Trey Mason for the first time getting carries 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.640 and he was the bell cow all day. How much 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.080 do you buy him moving forward? Buying him big time 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.400 bow because this was a lot like the Ram team 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.120 that we saw last season when they were winning games 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.360 at the end of the year, and what they did 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.920 was they limited their quarterback. They made them throw accurate, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.520 quick throws. Austin Davis did a very good job in 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.280 this game against Seattle. They played with defense, and this 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.080 was really the first good defensive performance from the Saint 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.880 Louis Rams this year. They got after Russell Wilson, they 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.360 had the trick play on special teams that worked for them. 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.880 They really made a lot of plays defensively, and they 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.440 controlled the clock with the running game. Here's the difference 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.440 from last year. Trey Mason, to me, is just a 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.480 much more talented back than Zach Stacy, and the Rams 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.680 are realizing that if they're gonna win games, if Jeff 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.640 Fisher let's say it is gonna save his job. They're 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.920 gonna have to start winning tough games. They were one 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.320 and four while they come in. They beat the Seahawks 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.520 at home. That's an impressive resume building win. And Trey 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.120 Mason is their best back when it comes to running 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:21.960 the ball. I think he is going to be the 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.640 bell cow going forward. And yeah, Benny Cunningham is going 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.280 to be out there on third downs and in passing 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.680 situations because he can protect. But I want to take 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.800 this opportunity to kind of use this as a lesson 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.360 when it comes to a back like Zach Stacy, an 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.840 under talented back who gets this perceived volume, this label 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.320 of a volume back before the season. These guys never 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.360 seem to live up to their draft status. If you 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.880 drafted Zach Stacy in the second round, you're dropping a 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.440 guy this week who you expected to be a two 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.760 hundred and fifty two hundred and seventy five carried guy 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.080 who just lost his job to somebody who's a lot 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.800 more talented. Whenever that opportunity comes up in future years, 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.480 just to remember to pass on a guy like that 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.240 and take a wide receiver instead, because it just never 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.600 works out. For guys like Zach Stacy in the long run. 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.040 All right, Well, another running back situation influx up in Buffalo. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.080 A crazy win for him this week, but they lost 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.800 both Fred Jackson and C. J. Spiller for a little 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.240 bit of time. Our old friend Bryce Brown in the mix, 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.760 as is Anthony Dixon, who's the one to own. Well, 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:20.880 I'm gonna pick up Bryce Brown because I'm a gambler 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.920 and I'm always going to gamble on talent. But as 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.639 you know that Philadelphi Eagles traded Bryce Brown because he 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.720 had some struggles with the playbook. He never really played 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.520 to a consistent level. But we did see with Bryce 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.520 Brown when he was filling in for Lashaw McCoy a 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.840 couple of years ago, the kind of talent that can 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.639 really carry your fantasy team. We saw him with some 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.960 huge games with some big runs. He has really really 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.639 amazing straight line explosion, and I would think the Buffalo 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.680 Bills are going to use this opportunity to get him 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.040 a significant number of touches. But I do want to 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.879 give you one piece of advice. Don't expect Bryce Brown 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.879 to be a world beater. And if the Bills expect 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.000 Fred Jackson to only be out a couple weeks with 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.080 his groin injury. I wonder if they'll go with Anthony 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.960 Dixon just because they can stay the course a little 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.000 bit more. They went to Kyle Orton a few weeks 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.680 ago because they thought he was the safer option at quarterback. 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.000 That turned out to be the right move. The Bills 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.280 are four and three, They're going to be competing for 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.520 a playoff spot in an AFC. That looks pretty soft 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.200 to me. I wonder if they just feel Anthony Dixon 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.720 is the safer, stay the course option, But if they 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.720 really want to gamble, they will go with Bryce Brown 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.160 because he has monster upside and I think Bryce Brown 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:30.920 is going to be the guy in the long run 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.000 that you want to own in this backfield. All right, Well, 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.399 a bunch of running backs we've talked about on the 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.480 waiver wire this week. If you've sort of been saving 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.240 your free agent budget or if you've got high waiver priority, 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.640 are you using it all on Mason? Are you going 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.080 for Brown? Are you going for Dixon? How do you 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.439 spread it out? I would put my top priority on 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.520 Trey Mason because I think this really well mirrors what 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.639 the Rams did last year when Zach Stacy emerged. I 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:54.439 think Mason is going to be able to emerge in 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.240 a similar role. So he'd be my number one, Brown, 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.080 number two, and Dixon number three. I would take a 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.080 shot on all of them if I need running back help. 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.920 But that's my personal order as we stand right now. Well, 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.080 he is the man with all the information. Joe Dolan 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.840 of Fantasy Guru dot com follow him on Twitter at 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.720 fg Underscore Dolan, and we will see you next week 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.800 right here on the Fantasy Spin. And it all works 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.800 for the Eagles tight ends down the field if it 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:19.479 works at the line of scrimmage. Christ she had an 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.480 opportunity to sit with Lane Johnson, who is back very 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.240 much so in the swing of things along the offensive line. Yes, 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.400 the Eagles win over the Giants. Eagles are their best 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.679 rushing performance of the season, and a bigger reason for 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.159 that was the return of Lane Johnson. And after this 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.200 break on Eagles three to sixty, I go one on 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:48.760
