Speaker 1: Fellow Eagles fans and welcome Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero
Speaker 1: Chris McPherson. It's the first day of school. That kind
Speaker 1: of feeling for me. Fifty three man roster, ten man
Speaker 1: practice squad and for the first time in twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: all on the practice field on this Wednesday here at
Speaker 1: an Overcare complex with the Atlanta Falcon straight ahead on
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. How are you doing, Buddy, I'm doing
Speaker 1: an outstanding I'm just so excited, Dave, because of all
Speaker 1: the questions that we're waiting to answer are in the
Speaker 1: off season. We finally get to see it unfold firsthand.
Speaker 1: All the changes that Chip Kelly made with the roster.
Speaker 1: Well Sam Bradford thrive at quarterback the running back position,
Speaker 1: can DeMarco Murray build off the amazing season he had
Speaker 1: last season? And the defense is it better? We're gonna
Speaker 1: see it all unfold starting on Monday night. Yeah, We've
Speaker 1: got a ways to go before we get to Monday night.
Speaker 1: We got a lot to catch up on. Great show
Speaker 1: for you today, a little Cover two segment with some
Speaker 1: Philadelphia reporters who will give their perspective on all the
Speaker 1: changes the Eagles have made and the look that they
Speaker 1: have for this two and fifteen season. We will take
Speaker 1: a look around a crazy agreed NFC East Nuts, what's
Speaker 1: happening in this division and Chip Kelly joins me in
Speaker 1: studio for our exclusive weekly one on one. Let's first
Speaker 1: get you caught up on everything happening with the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles today Alex Smith our Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: Alex Smith here with your three sixty update, presented by
Speaker 1: Sports Authority. The Eagles are less than a week away
Speaker 1: from their Monday Night against the Atlanta Falcons. Today, Eagles
Speaker 1: head coach Chip Kelly spoke at his pre practice press
Speaker 1: conference talking about some of the challenges that go along
Speaker 1: to game planning for a Falcons team with a new
Speaker 1: head coach and Dan Quinn, who last year was Seattle's
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. No, you know, you just got some preseason games,
Speaker 1: and obviously I don't think Dan used everything in the preseason,
Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively, you know, just because of the
Speaker 1: how preseason expresses itself. So he got to kind of
Speaker 1: look at the coordinators and where they came from and
Speaker 1: kind of match up what you think is going to happen.
Speaker 1: But they'll have to be some in game adjustments. Kelly
Speaker 1: also touched upon the addition of quarterback Stephen Morris, who
Speaker 1: hadn't with the Jacksonville Jaguars before being signed to the
Speaker 1: eagles fifty three man roster. Kelly spoke about what it
Speaker 1: is that Morris brings to the table here with the Eagles.
Speaker 1: We just had him. He was our highest we have
Speaker 1: everybody rated. He was the highest rated guy that was
Speaker 1: available after the waiver wire went too, So, you know,
Speaker 1: we like his arm. He's got a really really strong arm.
Speaker 1: Quick relieve. Jeff Stoutland knows him pretty well, was actually
Speaker 1: at Miami when he played there, so kind of know
Speaker 1: the make up of the player, talked to him back
Speaker 1: when he was coming through the draft process, so kind
Speaker 1: of relied on all of our information that we had,
Speaker 1: But he was the highest rated guy we had that
Speaker 1: was on the wave of wire. As for an injury update,
Speaker 1: Kelly said that all sixty three players were on the
Speaker 1: practice field today. That includes Cody Parkey, Zackert's, and Marcus Smith,
Speaker 1: all who had previously missed time, and two other injured
Speaker 1: players who are making their way back from a long
Speaker 1: road to recovery. Are Sam Bradford and Demiko Ryan's. They
Speaker 1: spoke today about how they're feeling entering the season opener.
Speaker 1: You know, I guess you could look at it as
Speaker 1: it's the last step, you know, getting out there and
Speaker 1: playing a full game. But you know, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: we've already hit the last step. You know, I think
Speaker 1: I'm ready to play. You know, I don't think there's
Speaker 1: anything else that I need to do, and now it's
Speaker 1: time to just go out there and have fun and
Speaker 1: play ball. Yeah, I do anticipate, anticipate playing on Monday
Speaker 1: Night again. Coach Coach Davis will monitor the raps or
Speaker 1: see how much I play, but I do anticipate playing
Speaker 1: tight end. Zach Ertz said that he is hopeful to
Speaker 1: play in the Eagles Monday night opener, and he's doing
Speaker 1: everything that he can to make sure that he's fully
Speaker 1: healthy after missing the entire preseason with a core muscle injury.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to miss any games. I mean,
Speaker 1: it works so hard all offseason i'd be ready for
Speaker 1: the games and making impact for this team. So when
Speaker 1: the games come around, I know that if I have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play, I'm gonna play. Um, obviously we
Speaker 1: have to be smart of it or for it, because
Speaker 1: it is the first game of a long season and
Speaker 1: hopefully a long playoff run as well. So at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're gonna be smart. Moving over
Speaker 1: to the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Byron Maxwell
Speaker 1: spoke about how this first game is a big test,
Speaker 1: not just for him in his Eagles debut, but for
Speaker 1: the entire defense as a whole. I think we'd be
Speaker 1: very good. I mean, we got a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that they go after the ball, so we could be
Speaker 1: balls out there. Man. That's really what it's all about,
Speaker 1: the end of the day. He just get in turnals,
Speaker 1: making plays and what you all do. And last, but
Speaker 1: certainly not least, we caught up with the newest quarterback
Speaker 1: in the Eagles locker room, as Stephen Morris spoke about
Speaker 1: getting to know Chip Kelly during his draft process. He
Speaker 1: was telling me that he couldn't really know after quarterback
Speaker 1: at that time, so obviously I was just didn't go
Speaker 1: drafted that year, so I just went to Jacksonville and
Speaker 1: he had an opportunity to pick me up and over
Speaker 1: the form, that's what he did, and I was excited man,
Speaker 1: happy to be here, happy to work with him, and
Speaker 1: also on coach Day and coach Pat Tomorrow, we will
Speaker 1: once again hear from head coach Chip Kelly in the morning,
Speaker 1: and then we'll hear from DeMarco Murray and Malcolm Jenkins
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. But until then, be sure to catch
Speaker 1: up on the latest Eagles news right here on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot com. Thanks so much, Alex and Chris. Now
Speaker 1: time to get a little perspective on what some reporters
Speaker 1: out there think about the football team in here. Yes now,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go so much into the Atlanta game.
Speaker 1: I want to focus big picture the regular season. Exactly
Speaker 1: what do the reporters believe Beagles can do? What are
Speaker 1: their thoughts on Bradford? What are their thoughts on the
Speaker 1: improved defense. Jimmy Kemski from Philly Voice and Timocmats from
Speaker 1: Birds Twain for seven joined me a short time ago.
Speaker 1: We will have covered two right after this break on
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty, Section five, twelve, Row six, seats seven
Speaker 1: through ten. Those are our seats at this one time.
Speaker 1: We can't be there. Please treat them right, get there

Speaker 1: do it at Sports Authority Shop. Thousands of great deals
Speaker 1: this summer Sports Authority. Well everyone, you know it must
Speaker 1: be the start of the regular season, because it's time
Speaker 1: for cover two here on Eagles three sixty. I'm Chris McPherson,
Speaker 1: please be joined this week to open the year with
Speaker 1: Tim McManus a Bird twenty four seven, and Jimmy Kemski
Speaker 1: of Philly Voice. So, gentlemen, I don't really want to
Speaker 1: focus on the falcon so much this week. I know
Speaker 1: Eagles fans want always gonna happen Monday night, but let's
Speaker 1: take a big picture approach to the entire season. I
Speaker 1: will start record Sam Bradford. Tim, you got to see
Speaker 1: him in trading camp, You saw him in the preseason
Speaker 1: four drives four touchdowns. What are your thoughts on Bradford
Speaker 1: heading into the regular season. They couldn't have looked any better.
Speaker 1: I mean what Chip Kelly was hoping he would be
Speaker 1: at least four this small sample size is exactly what
Speaker 1: he got and that's he likes. The repetitive accuracy was
Speaker 1: a term that he I don't know if he coined,
Speaker 1: but he's been using ever since he got into town.
Speaker 1: And that's what we've seen with Bradford. Just everything is
Speaker 1: on point and that translated over into the preseason games,
Speaker 1: of course, culminating in that ten for ten performance in
Speaker 1: which he got the hopes of the city about as
Speaker 1: high as they could possibly be following the postseason or
Speaker 1: a preseason play. I think that the one issue is
Speaker 1: that always got I mean, so we have to keep
Speaker 1: it in perspective, don't because Bradford, while he's looked exceptional
Speaker 1: and I think that he can have a really good year,
Speaker 1: he's also had a bunch of years in the league,
Speaker 1: and while there were things that were holding him down
Speaker 1: you can say schematically and injury wise and all that
Speaker 1: sort of thing, he still hasn't done it in a
Speaker 1: big way in a big game and a big level
Speaker 1: quite yet, and so I'm tempering expectations. But certainly everything
Speaker 1: he's done so far has been next James agree or disagree,
Speaker 1: which great. I mean even just the ten for ten,
Speaker 1: It wasn't even so much that he went ten for ten.
Speaker 1: Every pass he through was right where vall needed to be.
Speaker 1: And not only that, the anticipation throws were great, which
Speaker 1: is it really kind of speaks to the level over
Speaker 1: poor that he's built up with his receivers already in
Speaker 1: a short amount of time. And for me, the one
Speaker 1: concerned that I would have is that he just really
Speaker 1: hasn't moved around all that much. So I think when
Speaker 1: he actually faces real live opponents, not that they weren't
Speaker 1: live opponents in the preseason, but of course nobody's nobody's
Speaker 1: sending the house at him, so he you know, sees
Speaker 1: a couple even one of a couple of those double
Speaker 1: a gap lits is where he's got the pressure right
Speaker 1: in his face? Can he move away from that? And
Speaker 1: for on the row? And that's you know, one thing
Speaker 1: that he still has to kind of prove he can do.
Speaker 1: But certainly everything he did in the preseason is more
Speaker 1: than what anyone could have asked for all right, Gemma.
Speaker 1: So the Eagles revamped the running back position. They signed
Speaker 1: to Marco Murray, they signed Ryan Matthews, They bring mcdren
Speaker 1: Sprowls from last season. Jimmy, how do you think the
Speaker 1: rotation is gonna look once the season begins? It's the
Speaker 1: best trio of running backs in the NFL in my opinion?
Speaker 1: And wait, wait, wait wait, you disagree with Pro Football Focus?
Speaker 1: How dare I? But yes, I think it's the best
Speaker 1: trio running backs, and I really I don't think it's close.
Speaker 1: And Mary's going to be the guy that is the
Speaker 1: feature back, of course, but Ryan hapy is what he
Speaker 1: showed both in training camp and in the preseason, looks
Speaker 1: really good in his issue. Again, like Sam Bradford has
Speaker 1: been that he hasn't always been able to stay healthy.
Speaker 1: So if he can stay healthy and more of a
Speaker 1: limited role, but of course being out there, and you know,
Speaker 1: you have that kind of combo of Mary and Matthews
Speaker 1: being the two sledgehammers and they can wear defenses down
Speaker 1: over the course of a game and kind of face
Speaker 1: tired defenses in the fourth quarter and just throw those
Speaker 1: guys or that North South running style, those guys can
Speaker 1: really be a force. Tim, Where does Darren Sprowles fit
Speaker 1: into the picture. I think that he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: find a role that's going to be elevated from last year.
Speaker 1: And I think the coaching staff has kind of reinforced
Speaker 1: that Dirny all season as a priority that they wanted
Speaker 1: to make sure that that Sprowles remains a significant factor,
Speaker 1: even though he is accompanied by those two very solid
Speaker 1: running backs into Marco Mary and Ryan Matthews. And so
Speaker 1: I think what you're gonna have is a lot in
Speaker 1: the passing game. I mean you throw him out there
Speaker 1: in the slot, coming out of the backfield. He puts
Speaker 1: a gigantic strain on defenses, and I think that they're
Speaker 1: going to be utilizing him quite a bit, even though
Speaker 1: it isn't crowd of backfield. All right, Let's look at
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense. They allowed a league high seventy two
Speaker 1: passes the ex plays of twenty yards or more last season. Tim,
Speaker 1: And your estimation is this Eagles defense better than the
Speaker 1: one in twenty fourteen? Yeah? I think it has a
Speaker 1: chance to be significantly better. There's been upgrades, as we know,
Speaker 1: in personnel, also the coaching staff, the people that have
Speaker 1: been raving about Corey on one, I mean, it's unbelievable
Speaker 1: how much you know, attention that he's been getting, and
Speaker 1: so that certainly speaks to a couple of things, but
Speaker 1: one of them being the fact that they've really taken
Speaker 1: to his coaching. The one area of concern would be
Speaker 1: the nickel right now. Billy Davis suggested that there might
Speaker 1: be a rotating cast of characters in there depending on matchup.
Speaker 1: That says to me that nobody has locked down that
Speaker 1: spot yet and that's not a disaster but something to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. But overall, I think the defense
Speaker 1: and the secondary in particular can be much improved. James,
Speaker 1: any questions for you about the Eagles defense, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: just to Peeback on Tim, I think even just the
Speaker 1: personnel in the secondary is going to be a lot better. Buyer.
Speaker 1: Maxwell certainly going to be a big upgrade over Carry Williams,
Speaker 1: and of course Bradley Fletcher, and then you have Walter Thurman, who,
Speaker 1: before training camp began, you know, safety was one of
Speaker 1: the biggest concerns heading into this season, and I think
Speaker 1: he's kind of solidified that position starting opposite Malcolm Jenkins.
Speaker 1: So if he can play well or he can play
Speaker 1: as well as he did during training camp in the preseason.
Speaker 1: And I think they have two, you know, very good safeties,
Speaker 1: probably the best pair of safeties that they've had in
Speaker 1: a while. And that defensive front seven really good. Obviously,
Speaker 1: those front three at the on the defensive line are
Speaker 1: all very good. Cox Benny Logan looks like he took
Speaker 1: a big step forward this year. Cedric Thornton's a really
Speaker 1: solid run stopper, and then those four linebackers across really
Speaker 1: could make things happen against the pass, you know, getting
Speaker 1: after the quarterback in coveraging against the run. All Right,
Speaker 1: we all agree Eagles will win Monday night. To say,
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, I think I don't think the
Speaker 1: Falcons are are a very good team. They're Eagles are
Speaker 1: a better teams, should win. I would say that they're
Speaker 1: maybe a little susceptible to a loss here. I think
Speaker 1: they're the better team. But think about it, like the
Speaker 1: inside linebacker is going to be a total strength of
Speaker 1: this team, But is it going to be a strength
Speaker 1: of this team on the onset given the fact that
Speaker 1: none of them have had their reps. While you're figuring
Speaker 1: out who the nickel Is in secondaries is kind of
Speaker 1: jelly and figuring out how to work together. So there's
Speaker 1: I think while they have looked exceptional in the preseason
Speaker 1: all around, we do have to factor in the fact
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of new pieces and new places,
Speaker 1: and so I don't expect it to necessarily be gangbusters
Speaker 1: out of the shoot, but they should still win, all right.
Speaker 1: We'll take that as a win. So that's going to
Speaker 1: do it for the season debut of cover two. Here

Speaker 1: nave spednarrow, Chris mcpheerson, It's Eagles three sixty worth, an
Speaker 1: overcare complex, and we're gonna step outside of Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: and talk about the NFC East a wild, crazy, turbulent
Speaker 1: and I would say downgraded NFC East. Would you agree
Speaker 1: that the Giants have taken a step back? The Cowboys
Speaker 1: maybe not. The Redskins certainly has. Certainly Washington, no question
Speaker 1: about the cover of the Washington Post said this morning,
Speaker 1: Reset rebuild, reject, repeat very strong words about the struggle
Speaker 1: that that franchise has had over the last couple of seasons.
Speaker 1: Certainly they thought they had to answer in RG three
Speaker 1: and he hasn't proven to be that to this point.
Speaker 1: Can Kirk Cousins come in with some weapons around? You
Speaker 1: have Pierre Garsan, you have de Shaun Jackson, But is
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins a good enough quarterback to keep that offensive float? Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of football, I think the defensive
Speaker 1: line got better this offseason, got mccluhan. The general managers
Speaker 1: made some good additions there. But from a passwal standpoint,
Speaker 1: they don't have Briana Rackpo. They brought him Junior Gallet
Speaker 1: from the Saints and he ruptured his achilles. He's not
Speaker 1: playing from this season. So who is going to be
Speaker 1: that compliment to Ryan Carrogan. I think that's a big question.
Speaker 1: That's Trent Murphy's role. He's gonna come up and play
Speaker 1: big in year number two for him, he's a big
Speaker 1: time player. But the Redskins clearly in disarray from the
Speaker 1: top to the bottom. So the when Eagles see them
Speaker 1: early in the season on the road, you expect more
Speaker 1: turmoil in our nation's capital. Now the New York Giants,
Speaker 1: let's start there with the defensive side of the football.
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul with the unfortunate accident fourth of July
Speaker 1: fireworks blows off his finger, not going to play football
Speaker 1: for perhaps a month. And then even after that, how
Speaker 1: effective canny be? That really damages the Giants in the trenches.
Speaker 1: The pass rush really takes a hit there, and their
Speaker 1: offensive lines had some injuries. Really, the Giants at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, huge question marks. This Pierre Paul situation
Speaker 1: is just so bizarre. You know, first Pierre Paul doesn't
Speaker 1: want to meet with the Giants, doesn't want to see
Speaker 1: the extent of the injury. He finally reports, and at
Speaker 1: first everyone's optimistic Pierre Paul would be ready to go.
Speaker 1: The finger situation wouldn't be able to hold him off
Speaker 1: the field. The Giants song, They're like, he's not ready
Speaker 1: to play football. So he had not signed his tender yet,
Speaker 1: use it the franchise tag for this season, so he
Speaker 1: can't even be with the team. I don't know as
Speaker 1: it has to read. I don't know anybody who would
Speaker 1: have been optimistic. I think the media totally overreported this.
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous to think that somebody can lose an
Speaker 1: index finger, not train the entire summer, and then walk
Speaker 1: in the week of the opening game and have an
Speaker 1: effective performance. Clearly that is not the case. Clearly the
Speaker 1: Giants looking for some answers defensively. Offensively, though, Chris, they
Speaker 1: should be a really good football team if the offensive
Speaker 1: line whole, Yeah, that's a big question. First round pick
Speaker 1: Eric Flowers, the number two, number ten overall pick. If
Speaker 1: he can slide in a tackle, then they will be
Speaker 1: okay upfront. Now, Eli Manning did a great job distributing
Speaker 1: the football. He cut down on the turnovers last season.
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz looks iffy for the season opener against Dallas,
Speaker 1: so we don't know if he's gonna play. Everyone knows
Speaker 1: how good Odell Beckham Junior is, and the running game
Speaker 1: should be a little bit better, But really it's gonna
Speaker 1: come down to the offensive line there and then, as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, the defensive side of the football. It seems Bagnol,
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, once again there doesn't have enough of
Speaker 1: a pass for us. That's what helped him be successful
Speaker 1: in the past. I don't know if he has that
Speaker 1: this time round. The Dallas Cowboys the team to beat
Speaker 1: in the NFC East, the defending championship of the division,
Speaker 1: and they've had a pretty strong offseason, a quiet offseason.
Speaker 1: Questions of Dallas Cowboys, who runs the football? What about
Speaker 1: the linebacker situation? How much of an impact is Greg
Speaker 1: Hardy's four game suspension and the loss of cornerback Orlando Scandrick,
Speaker 1: who have the ability to play outside and in the slot,
Speaker 1: really impacts that defense. One that overperformed last year a
Speaker 1: year ago this time because we were talking about how
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would be historically badge. Offensively, they overachieved, but
Speaker 1: they've taken some hits in the offseason at linebacker certainly,
Speaker 1: on the defensive line with Hearty suspension, and in the secondary, yes,
Speaker 1: and bringing a guy like Hardy who has his off
Speaker 1: the field issues, you know, does that disrupt the chemistry?
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory another never person with off the field character
Speaker 1: issues coming into the draft. He selected in the second
Speaker 1: round by the Cowboys. Look, can they provide they rushed
Speaker 1: off the edge, certainly, but will that disrupt the locker room?
Speaker 1: And then that running back position, you know, they trade
Speaker 1: for Kristen Michael for really of the Seahawks, they just
Speaker 1: don't seem to have a certified answer there or all
Speaker 1: offseason it seemed like they've got a good offensive line.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be just fine, but you can't just replace it.
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, Well, if the offensive line is as dominating
Speaker 1: as it was last year, I've always believed that it's
Speaker 1: the offensive line more than the running back. I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will be able to run the football, and
Speaker 1: I think the offense will score some points. So that
Speaker 1: is a look at the NFC East. Now let's get
Speaker 1: back to the Philadelphia Eagles. And when we return to
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty head coach Chip Kelly in studio are
Speaker 1: exclusive one on one with Chip Kelly coming next right
Speaker 1: here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. In the body. If
Speaker 1: you're the guy from the operation game, you get operated on.
Speaker 1: It's what you do true. If you want to say,

Speaker 1: compete electrolytes, to replenish everything you need to keep sweating.
Speaker 1: Section five twelve, Row six, Seats seven through ten. Those
Speaker 1: are our seats at this one time. We can't be there.
Speaker 1: Please treat the right, get there earliest daily and yellow
Speaker 1: whole lot dress, warm gloves, hats, warm boots. Eric sits
Speaker 1: in the middle. Uncle Paul sits on the aisle. And
Speaker 1: if you want to sit in my seat, make sure
Speaker 1: you get your ticket from the only place that can trust.
Speaker 1: Buy and sell, verify authentic tickets with other true fans
Speaker 1: only on NFL Ticket Exchange tickets from one fan to another.
Speaker 1: We welcome you into our studio. It's our exclusive one
Speaker 1: on one with head coach Chip Kelly, and Chip thanks
Speaker 1: for joining us. Opener on Monday night, the Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: a new coach and new start. Tell us about that team,
Speaker 1: what you've seen from them through the preseason. They had
Speaker 1: a good preseason. Dan Kunco came over from the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: He was their defensive coordinator. They're playing very hard on
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, a similar scheme to
Speaker 1: what they ran in Seattle. And then offensively, it starts
Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan, one of the premier quarterbacks in this
Speaker 1: league and one of the best receivers in the league,
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones. So it's it's gonna be a great
Speaker 1: test for us on Monday. Eagles coming off a three
Speaker 1: and one preseason. Things look good from the outside. From
Speaker 1: your perspective, would you learn about the team during the
Speaker 1: training sessions store in the preseason games? You know, I
Speaker 1: think we improved since we first got here um integrating
Speaker 1: some new faces. I thought they players got along really
Speaker 1: well and learned how to work with each other pretty fast.
Speaker 1: It's a group that really enjoys playing football, so we're excited.
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford two preseason games thirteen to fifteen, four touchdowns
Speaker 1: in his drives, four touchdown drives. We talked in the
Speaker 1: preseason about his performance. You said that what you see
Speaker 1: is what we've seen. Um, he's come along so well, coach,
Speaker 1: tell us about what you expect from him moving forward.
Speaker 1: Just to let things happen is enough to make things happen.
Speaker 1: In this offense. We have a lot of playmakers and
Speaker 1: both in the backfield with him and then at the
Speaker 1: receiver spots. And I think we've got a good group upfront. So, um,
Speaker 1: just really be the point guard indition, beat the ball.
Speaker 1: So when you take point guard drop back, make the
Speaker 1: right decision, be accurate, and find a favorable matchup. Exactly,
Speaker 1: It's exactly right. Okay. You talk about the wide receivers
Speaker 1: in the preseason as well, deep talented human vision rotating
Speaker 1: that group a lot. I mean, what can we expect
Speaker 1: from your use of the wide receivers and the added
Speaker 1: depth that you feel like you have. Well, we'll see
Speaker 1: how what expresses itself in terms of matchups. But we
Speaker 1: feel like we got a good group out there. Are
Speaker 1: starting with Jordan and Josh half and Riley Cooper coming
Speaker 1: back from last year. And then you add Nelson Aguilard
Speaker 1: of the mix, and then Miles Austin and a year
Speaker 1: or two too, So we've got six that will be
Speaker 1: up on game day. So we're excited about you know,
Speaker 1: what those guys can do. What will Jordan and Josh
Speaker 1: showing your year one to year two. Just a lot
Speaker 1: of growth, you know, I think, a better understanding of
Speaker 1: what we're doing offensively, a better understanding how they fit
Speaker 1: into schemes. They can play multiple positions. Um, so I
Speaker 1: see a big jump for them as we get moving
Speaker 1: here and near two. With those guys, it's a mental
Speaker 1: thing with with the young as just an understanding of
Speaker 1: the scheme and of the way it works in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's this the young guys. I think
Speaker 1: it's anybody in two years in a system, whether you
Speaker 1: came in on your Darren's roles and you've been in
Speaker 1: the league for a while, it's just you know, you
Speaker 1: get you're just more comfortable in your environment, more comfortable
Speaker 1: and how we do things, and and um, you know,
Speaker 1: we expect big things out of those guys with the depth.
Speaker 1: You have a running back, chip, Um, what are the
Speaker 1: benefits of having DeMarco and Ryan and Darren and Kenyon
Speaker 1: if you decided to address him that maybe you didn't
Speaker 1: have in the past. We just had more. You know,
Speaker 1: we would really relied on one running back in the
Speaker 1: last two years, and now we got an opportunity to
Speaker 1: kind of spread those carries out and keep people fresh.
Speaker 1: Helio Jones, you mentioned him, Describe him as a receiver,
Speaker 1: one of the top receivers in the league. He's obviously
Speaker 1: got the great size and speed combination, has great range,
Speaker 1: contract the ball really well when it's in the air,
Speaker 1: can run underneath routes and really understand zone concepts. But
Speaker 1: also is just such a talented receiver, can beach in
Speaker 1: one on one matchup. So I think it'll be a
Speaker 1: great challenge for our entire defense. And you look for
Speaker 1: the secondary, how do you feel about that group moving forward? Good?
Speaker 1: You know, we got a lot of new faces there
Speaker 1: except for really No. One and Chris Maragos and Malcolm Jenkins,
Speaker 1: the rest of them are all new, So I thought
Speaker 1: they've they got here, have worked extremely hard to fit
Speaker 1: in really well, and they're excited about the matchup. And
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big matchup because they're they're a
Speaker 1: talented group with the receiver spot with Jones and Who
Speaker 1: and Roddy White. Another change for this defense, or at
Speaker 1: least a different book. Brandon Graham moves into the starting lineup.
Speaker 1: How is he on did to that responsibility and kind
Speaker 1: of grown into the role? I'm fine. He's played a
Speaker 1: ton of football for us and played, you know, a
Speaker 1: ton of snaps over the last couple of years. I
Speaker 1: don't think you'll seeing anything new in terms of Brandon
Speaker 1: not understanding what he's doing. I think he's really excelled
Speaker 1: and we were excited to get him back. Special teams
Speaker 1: last year and in one of the rankings first cumulative
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Obviously a lot of pride, a lot
Speaker 1: of excellence. Why is that coach? Why is this team
Speaker 1: and the players and the coaches put so much emphasis
Speaker 1: on special teams and then the players really embrace it
Speaker 1: and Who out and excel so much. I think it's
Speaker 1: it's a huge factor in the games, and when games
Speaker 1: are so close, you can swing so much field position
Speaker 1: on one play. On the biggest field position you can
Speaker 1: gain is on a special team's play. So you can
Speaker 1: flip the field rather quickly in a positive or negative manner.
Speaker 1: And we knew that going in. Dave Phipp and Michael
Speaker 1: Clay do an outstanding job coaching those guys, and we
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys that enjoy playing special teams.

Speaker 1: We welcome you back at Eagles three sixty. Dave Spidero
Speaker 1: Chris mcpheerson some closing thoughts, chrisms we creep closer to
Speaker 1: the Falcons of a team that has had a number
Speaker 1: of injuries on certainty on the offensive line. I'm feeling
Speaker 1: good right now about the Eagles as they match up
Speaker 1: with the team very much so. I think there are
Speaker 1: some matchups that you know you'll want to see the
Speaker 1: Eagles get tested against, and mainly it's those Falcons wide
Speaker 1: receivers Julio Jones and Roddy White against the Eagles secondary
Speaker 1: Howell Byron Max will fit in will he trail Julio
Speaker 1: Jones through the course of the game. But the pass
Speaker 1: for us, the front seven, I think is gonna be
Speaker 1: so dominant for the Eagles going against that offensive line.
Speaker 1: They traded for Andy Levitre, they brought in Jake long
Speaker 1: in for a workout. They're not quite sure what they
Speaker 1: have upfront. So I certainly think it's a good starting
Speaker 1: point for the Eagles, going against a team that was
Speaker 1: six and tending year ago, and as a brand new
Speaker 1: coaching set that they're trying to integrate. And we know,
Speaker 1: crazy things happen in the NFL in weeks one and two,
Speaker 1: so don't take anything for granted. We learned that ten
Speaker 1: years ago. Jeremiah tried to bring you brought that up.
Speaker 1: It was a tough one after the loss in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Starting in Atlanta with a loss like that,
Speaker 1: a very difficult way to start a rocky season. But
Speaker 1: we get to that as we get closer to Monday.
Speaker 1: For Chris McPherson, I'm Dave Spidero. A lot more coming
Speaker 1: your way this week. Eagles three sixty returns tomorrow at
Speaker 1: five o'clock. Make sure you're with us. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: have yourselves a great Eagles Day.
