Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome. It's Eagles three sixty on this Thursday.
Speaker 1: Dave SPANNERO Glenn mac Now we're at the Novicare Complex
Speaker 1: and the Eagles getting ready for a flurry of games
Speaker 1: Sunday in Baltimore against the Ravens next Thursday back here
Speaker 1: at Lincoln Financial Field against the New York Giants, or
Speaker 1: two games in one week. Our focus, of course, Glenn,
Speaker 1: is on the Baltimore Ravens. Your thoughts. My thoughts are
Speaker 1: they're a very tough team to run on. So I
Speaker 1: don't see the Eagles getting a lot of yards in
Speaker 1: the ground, but you can throw on them. They're in
Speaker 1: the middle third in the league in past defense. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be one of those games where Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz is gonna have a lot of attempts and he's
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of yards if he can avoid
Speaker 1: the interception, avoid sailing the ball, and if he gets
Speaker 1: decent protection from that offensive line. We know you got
Speaker 1: the fifth tack one there potentially, Yeah, true. If he
Speaker 1: can get some protection, I think he will have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to have a pretty good day statistically and maybe
Speaker 1: just maybe steal one from them. As you mentioned, the
Speaker 1: offensive line still questions about who exactly is going to
Speaker 1: play where. So to get you caught up with everything
Speaker 1: happening with this football team on this Thursday, here's Alex
Speaker 1: Smith our Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone, I'm Alex
Speaker 1: Smith here with your three sixty update. The Eagles continue
Speaker 1: their week of work heading into Sunday's road finale against
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. And some good news for the Eagles
Speaker 1: today on the injury report, as wide receiver Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: was back to being a full participant in today's practice
Speaker 1: and inside the locker room, we caught up with Matthews
Speaker 1: to get his take on how Carson Wentz has developed
Speaker 1: as a quarterback this season. Yeah, definitely. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's the record that we wanted him to break this year. Um,
Speaker 1: but he's getting reps, you know. So Hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: trying to always find the positives and like I said,
Speaker 1: the best our bat. You don't ever hear dude complaining.
Speaker 1: You don't never hear him sitting out because his arms, swords, dude,
Speaker 1: blue collar, hard notes. It's perfect for Philadelphia and I'm
Speaker 1: glad he's my quarterback. So um, like I said he's
Speaker 1: gonna be able tough it out. It's something that we
Speaker 1: are trying to monitor. Obviously, Coach Peterson has been extremely
Speaker 1: vocal about it. So it's something that we're all going
Speaker 1: to team to work at. By put up more on
Speaker 1: the receivers, we convert more downs, we make bigger plays downfield,
Speaker 1: make more runs after the catch, less times has to
Speaker 1: drop back and throw. Meanwhile, the Eagles defense is preparing
Speaker 1: to face off against Joe Flacco and the rest of
Speaker 1: the Ravens offense, a unit that includes two talented wide
Speaker 1: receivers and Mike Wallace and Steve Smith. Look at the
Speaker 1: two two differents. You know, you got one fear of
Speaker 1: fisting and you know what I'm saying to get rid
Speaker 1: of physical with you. You got one that's kind of
Speaker 1: that pass off in that con You know, he could
Speaker 1: get a little scrappy when he want to mother than that.
Speaker 1: You know, while this could be because the straits to
Speaker 1: feel you, he knows for doing it well. Mike Walland
Speaker 1: is still one of the fastest receivers in the league,
Speaker 1: so his ability to take the top off the defense
Speaker 1: is always something you gotta pay attention to, especially with
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco back there, he can get the ball down
Speaker 1: the field. Steve Smith is a savvy receiver at they'll
Speaker 1: line up, you know, on the outside and the slot.
Speaker 1: He can he can work away from coverage. He knows
Speaker 1: how to decipher his own and man to find this
Speaker 1: saf spot in your defense. And it's still consistently moving
Speaker 1: the chains, all right. That will wrap things up here
Speaker 1: from a chilly Novacare complex. You can check out the
Speaker 1: entire injury report and all of our locker rooms sound
Speaker 1: on demand right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com and
Speaker 1: the official Eagles mobile app. Well, thank you so much, Alex. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are some things unsettled, but this is the football
Speaker 1: team Glenn that still has a lot to play for.
Speaker 1: I understand the playoff picture, but if there's anything less
Speaker 1: than a great effort on Sunday, it will be really,
Speaker 1: really disappointing. Well yeah, because they got the questions about
Speaker 1: that two weeks ago, right, and so they came back
Speaker 1: last week. They didn't win, but I think everybody was
Speaker 1: pleased with the effort. You can't now revert to something
Speaker 1: where people are going to be questioning you again. Bold
Speaker 1: predictions are coming up later in the show. A progress
Speaker 1: report on a player who certainly is giving it is
Speaker 1: all doing everything, Trey Burton. When we return, however, to
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty, Brandon Graham has had a wonderful season.
Speaker 1: Plays hard every down, productive, relentless, everything you want in
Speaker 1: a defensive end. And Alex Smith is going to sit
Speaker 1: down with him, talk a little football, talk a little life.

Speaker 1: Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and welcome back to another
Speaker 1: edition of Crunch Time, presented by Lace Kettle Cooked. I'm
Speaker 1: very pleased to be joined today by Eagles defensive end
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham. Brandon, my first question for you, I gotta
Speaker 1: ask you Michigan Ohio State College football Game of the Year.
Speaker 1: You're a Michigan guy. What happened in that game? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, we lost the game obviously, but overall, you know,
Speaker 1: that was a learning game for us because we had
Speaker 1: the league and we kind of blew it towards the end.
Speaker 1: And you know, they just made the plays that they
Speaker 1: made it that they made to win, and if it
Speaker 1: was on the other side, I would have took that win.
Speaker 1: I saw you the day afterwards. We're in in Ohio
Speaker 1: State Jersey. How that happened. Well, I put my own
Speaker 1: foot in my mouth because I was telling, you know,
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins, hey man, let's bet and if you whoever wins,
Speaker 1: got to walk around it whoever Jersey all day. So
Speaker 1: I had to wait the whole day, even we had
Speaker 1: dinner at night around seven I had at Dale Frisco,
Speaker 1: so I had to wear it up in there. So
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was a friendly, nice, friendly bet.
Speaker 1: But overall, you know, a house state has been beating
Speaker 1: me for the last ten, ten to eleven years, so
Speaker 1: I gotta we gotta get this thing back to what
Speaker 1: it needs to be. But Michigan looks like throwing the
Speaker 1: way up. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not worried at all.
Speaker 1: They stole one this year, but like Michigan State did
Speaker 1: last year, we ended up coming back to following year.
Speaker 1: You see what happened to Michigan State, so you see
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to him next year. How much did
Speaker 1: it hurt wearing that jersey? Um? Well, it definitely hurt
Speaker 1: were in jersey because I never thought I never envisioned
Speaker 1: myself wearing a red and um, you know, hey man,
Speaker 1: I make anything look good. Absolutely. Who's the biggest college
Speaker 1: football trash talker in the locker room? Um? Well, I
Speaker 1: can't go with me because I mean I do talk
Speaker 1: a lot with you. I do talk a lot. But
Speaker 1: if I had to pick one, Benny Logan got a
Speaker 1: little he gotta slick. He's slicked his talk. So I
Speaker 1: mean I guess I go with Betty. A couple of
Speaker 1: LSU guys in the locker rooms really kind of team up,
Speaker 1: and uh talk about LSU all the time. But last
Speaker 1: question for you, BG, I know that you're you're a
Speaker 1: new dad. What's that experience been like? The ups and downs?
Speaker 1: What's it all been like for you? What a down
Speaker 1: part was in the beginning? I mean, it's really the wife,
Speaker 1: and it's really about the wife and baby, you know
Speaker 1: during that time, So really the baby don't want you,
Speaker 1: She's want to eat. But now I'm the plus side
Speaker 1: of it now is every day I go home. Man,
Speaker 1: as soon as I walk through the door, she lights
Speaker 1: up and cross, you know, super fast to me. She
Speaker 1: ain't walking yet, but I mean, it's just every day now.
Speaker 1: It gives me a purpose, you know, each and every
Speaker 1: week to go out there and play harder, especially for her.
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham, thank you very much, appreciate your time, and
Speaker 1: thank you all for joining us right here on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot Com so much. Guys, Look, Glenn, I don't
Speaker 1: think he has the numbers to be a Pro Bowl player,
Speaker 1: but I would give Brandon Graham serious consideration. I think
Speaker 1: he's had that kind of year. Anybody else on this
Speaker 1: team going to the Pro Bowl. I think maybe Malcolm
Speaker 1: Jenkins has got a shot. You're two safeties have played
Speaker 1: very well. Jenkins is the one who's a more known name.
Speaker 1: He's been here for a while, he's a highly visible player.
Speaker 1: I think he's got a good shot. I know you
Speaker 1: and I have talked earlier, maybe about Jordan Hicks, but
Speaker 1: having not made it before, and yeah, the stats aren't
Speaker 1: that glossie. He just plays well, you know, week in
Speaker 1: and week out, So probably not. I don't see anybody
Speaker 1: on the off Fletcher, Yeah, maybe Fletcher. Jason Peter's reputation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he played well, and i'll i'll I guess
Speaker 1: I'll go back on what I said nobody in the
Speaker 1: offense because he has played very well. Again, if he
Speaker 1: was a younger player trying to make it for the
Speaker 1: first time, probably not. But the guy had a real
Speaker 1: bounce back season this year. He's been very steady on
Speaker 1: an uncertain offensive line. I think he deserves consideration. So
Speaker 1: with this conversation, as we look at the next year
Speaker 1: impact players. Eagles need them on offense particularly, and I'll
Speaker 1: take someone defense as well. Five and eighteen needs them
Speaker 1: all over. We've got more to get to here. On

Speaker 1: bold predictions. Sunday Eagles Ravens game. Here you go, number
Speaker 1: one day Spadar. You know that the Eagles have one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty more penalty yards than their opponents this year.
Speaker 1: They are fifth in the National Football League in penalties.
Speaker 1: They legal league in fall starts, but one of the
Speaker 1: teams that has more penalties than them is the Baltimore Ravens,
Speaker 1: and the Ravens lead the league in offensive holding penalties.
Speaker 1: They have more penalties than the Eagles for delay of game,
Speaker 1: for defense and holding for illegal contact for roughing the passer.
Speaker 1: The Eagles will have twenty fewer yards or even fewer
Speaker 1: than that then the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday, and we
Speaker 1: don't see that a lot. Sounds like a lot of
Speaker 1: yellow on the field potentially unfortunately, but if it's against them,
Speaker 1: then that's another fun thing. Here you go, number two.
Speaker 1: You and I've kicked this one around a lot over
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, and that is zach Ertz. And
Speaker 1: I see another big game for zach Ertz in part
Speaker 1: because he is connected well with Carson Wentz. He always
Speaker 1: plays well in December, and the Ravens are a little
Speaker 1: vulnerable against the tight end you saw last week or
Speaker 1: Monday night. I guess with Marcella's Bennett did to them
Speaker 1: when the Patriots beat him. So I believe I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put an over under an eight and a half catches
Speaker 1: for zach Ertz and I'll take the over. Wow, that
Speaker 1: sounds like another big day for Zach obviously another late
Speaker 1: season surge. Hopefully he keeps doing this doing this too,
Speaker 1: And I'm Introducde with Zach. I thought he played with
Speaker 1: more more physicalness last week coming off that tough week.
Speaker 1: Yeah see if he still has that edge, Yeah, seem
Speaker 1: break a tackler to Okay, here you go. Number three.
Speaker 1: It is supposed to be a pretty warm day on
Speaker 1: Sunday in Baltimore, as opposed to what we're filling in
Speaker 1: the middle of the week here in Philadelphi's supposed to
Speaker 1: be in the fifties. You also have a game here
Speaker 1: where you have two of the best kickers in the
Speaker 1: National League. You probably have the best one in Justin Tucker,
Speaker 1: and Caleb sturgis no slouch himself. So, Dave, here's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna predict. Each of these kickers will have a
Speaker 1: field goal over fifty forty five yards excuse me, and
Speaker 1: somebody is going to clear fifty And this one not
Speaker 1: so bold. There's not going to be a kickoff return
Speaker 1: in this game. Bold big and bold. Glenn macknow going
Speaker 1: yard here in his bold predictions. Here game number fourteen, Sure,
Speaker 1: zach Ertz and the kickers are gonna kick. Yeah, ball
Speaker 1: should carry a little rainy down there. Two good kickers,
Speaker 1: awesome stuff. There you go. This is where we are
Speaker 1: kickers and penalty flags. It's late in the season, Dave,
Speaker 1: Here we go throwing darts at this point. That is
Speaker 1: Glenn mcnow's bold predictions. We've got more to get to

Speaker 1: Here on Eagles three sixty Glenn and I step aside
Speaker 1: Chris McPherson garried down Baltimore Ravens dot Com. Hello Eagles fans,
Speaker 1: I'm Chris McPherson and it's time to go behind enemy
Speaker 1: lines presented by Gatorade and to preview Sunday's matchup with
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, we bring Garrett Downing, Insider Extraordinary and
Speaker 1: reporter for Baltimore Ravens dot Com and Garrett I want
Speaker 1: to start with the autoboto, New Jersey native in Joe Flacco.
Speaker 1: He's received a live criticism this year, but the last
Speaker 1: two weeks the offense has really been put on his shoulders.
Speaker 1: How would you evaluate his performance through the course of
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen season. Yeah, really, this year has kind
Speaker 1: of been up and down. You know. Over the first
Speaker 1: i would say month and a half of the season,
Speaker 1: the offense wasn't what the Ravens wanted to be. They
Speaker 1: made a change their offensive coordinator early in the season,
Speaker 1: replaced Mark Trestim with Marty morning Wagans. Since that time,
Speaker 1: especially over the last I'd say month, more and more
Speaker 1: of the offense has kind of been placed on Joe
Speaker 1: flacco shoulders. They're throwing the ball a lot. They came
Speaker 1: out there against Miami two weeks ago through the ball
Speaker 1: virtually every single time, and they put up thirty eight
Speaker 1: points in that game, Joe through four touchdowns. It was
Speaker 1: the best gained Ravens we've seen from them offensively this season.
Speaker 1: Then last week against the Patriots on Monday Night Football,
Speaker 1: they kind of came out with a similar game plan,
Speaker 1: try to throw the ball a lot, but the Patriots
Speaker 1: took it away. They took away the intermediate routes, they
Speaker 1: took away the deep stuff, and then so it was
Speaker 1: a lot of checkdowns, a lot of two yard passes
Speaker 1: to the running backs and the fullback. And so what
Speaker 1: we're gonna see now, and I'm kind of curious is
Speaker 1: how are they going to adjust? It seems like the Patriots.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a copycat league. You know, so every
Speaker 1: team watched that game on Monday night. I'm sure that
Speaker 1: you guys, coaches and scouts did. They watched that game
Speaker 1: on Monday night. They saw what the Patriots did, and
Speaker 1: I would think they'll try to emulate a little bit
Speaker 1: of that and then it will be interesting to see
Speaker 1: how the Ravens offense adjust on Sunday. Looking at the
Speaker 1: skill position guys, specifically at running back, is Kenne Dicks
Speaker 1: and the rookie out of Louisiana Tech? Is he the
Speaker 1: feature back now? Or is Terrence West still the main guy?
Speaker 1: It's so funny We've been asked that question here so
Speaker 1: many times from fans. Isn't gonna be Kennethfics? I think
Speaker 1: people are always interested in their fantasy teams. You know
Speaker 1: it gonna be Kennethtics in this week? Or is it
Speaker 1: gonna be Terrence West? And really it's been a one
Speaker 1: two punch. Now what we've seen in over the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks is that Kenneth Dixon seems to kind
Speaker 1: of be taking over the one in that one two punch.
Speaker 1: He got a lot of targets last week. That's one
Speaker 1: thing that he can do really well. He can catch
Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield. He will also is
Speaker 1: one of those guys that went through an injury earlier
Speaker 1: on in the season, dealt with a knee injury, wasn't
Speaker 1: really himself until about the second half. So I say,
Speaker 1: right now, it's probably Kenneth Dixon, but it's not that
Speaker 1: much different. I Mean, these guys, for the most part,
Speaker 1: I think are going to split the load. They're both
Speaker 1: going to get their carries. But what Kenneth Dixon gives
Speaker 1: you is he's able to catch the ball out of
Speaker 1: the backfield, and that's an asset that the Ravens really
Speaker 1: want to kind of use to their advantage. And I
Speaker 1: think that he's going to get plenty of touches Sunday
Speaker 1: and over these final three games for the regular season,
Speaker 1: Garret As the Ravens make the push toward the playoffs,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are trying to snap their four game losing streak.
Speaker 1: This Sunday, and specifically, fans are looking at the defensive
Speaker 1: backfield for the Eagles. For the Ravens, they have the
Speaker 1: angel Steve Smith, who continues to produce. Mike Walls is
Speaker 1: a speed throughout on the outside. And how are those
Speaker 1: two guys and throwing des Pitto, who's been a safety
Speaker 1: valve there for Joe Flacco. How have those guys? How
Speaker 1: are the offense this year? Well, Mike Wallace has been
Speaker 1: a really nice addition this year. I mean, he's somebody
Speaker 1: that everybody knows about his speed. He can stretch the defense,
Speaker 1: but I think what he's showing people this year is
Speaker 1: that he can do a lot of that stuff underneath.
Speaker 1: You know, that's not something that's kind of a highly
Speaker 1: advertised aspect of his game, but he shined in that
Speaker 1: area a lot of times this year. You know, He's somebody.
Speaker 1: What the Ravens have done and found success with lately
Speaker 1: is a lot of the underneath crossing rounds. So Mike
Speaker 1: Wallace is somebody that they can absolutely use in that scenario.
Speaker 1: Catch the ball, get him the ball in space and
Speaker 1: let him run, let him use that speed. Steve Smith
Speaker 1: is Steve Smith. He's still the same He's still somebody
Speaker 1: that's a playmaker. He's still somebody that's gonna bring it
Speaker 1: every single Sunday, and he's he just brings elevates kind
Speaker 1: of the play of everybody around him. He brings an edge,
Speaker 1: a nastiness, you know, the kind of attitude that you want.
Speaker 1: They're going to be important pieces. And then pittam Everyone
Speaker 1: thought Pitto was done, you know, everyone looked at the
Speaker 1: hip injuries that he had and said he's not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to come back from that. Well, he leads
Speaker 1: the ravens and receptions this year and he has been
Speaker 1: that throwed down guy. He has been somebody that can
Speaker 1: catch the ball over the middle of the field for
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. So Pitto kind of looks like he did
Speaker 1: before the injury, you know, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: And so are those are the main and then the
Speaker 1: kind of the X factor in this offense is Breshad Perriman.
Speaker 1: You know, he was the first round pick last year,
Speaker 1: missed the entire season because of a knee injury. He
Speaker 1: doesn't catch a ton of balls, but when he does,
Speaker 1: he kind of makes him count because he's the fastest
Speaker 1: player on this team and he can absolutely fly down
Speaker 1: the field the seam routes, and also if you get
Speaker 1: him on one of those crossing routes that I mentioned,
Speaker 1: if you get him on that in space, he can
Speaker 1: make some interesting things happen. Garret, I'm sorry I've taken
Speaker 1: so long to bring up the Ravens defense. Now, with
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith's staffs uncertain for Sunday, how do you think
Speaker 1: they'll pressure Carson Wentz or rookie who's again trying to
Speaker 1: get out of a funk himself. Yeah, Jimmy Smith is
Speaker 1: a big loss if he's not able to go on Sunday.
Speaker 1: He's got an ankle injury. He's been the team's top
Speaker 1: cornerback all season and he has he really has the
Speaker 1: ability to kind of shut down one half the field.
Speaker 1: He's somebody that before getting hurt, he's somebody that kind
Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl buzz has definitely started for him
Speaker 1: and people have taken notice around the league about how
Speaker 1: good he is. Now if he's not able to play,
Speaker 1: one thing that's not going to change is the pass rush,
Speaker 1: and the Ravens have Terrell Sos. He's playing at a
Speaker 1: high level even though he's coming he's playing through a
Speaker 1: torn bicep, which is crazy. But then they also over
Speaker 1: about three weeks ago, they got Elvis Dumerville back on
Speaker 1: the field. He really missed the entire season because he
Speaker 1: was working his way back from a foot injury and
Speaker 1: just couldn't get it right. Well now he looks like himself.
Speaker 1: So you have those two veteran pass rushers on the edge,
Speaker 1: and I think that that's something that the Ravens that
Speaker 1: they want to get after quarterbacks, and with having those
Speaker 1: guys out there, you don't have to send a ton
Speaker 1: of exotic blitz is because you can generate pressure with
Speaker 1: a four man front. So, making no mistake about it,
Speaker 1: the Ravens are going to try to pressure Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: They know he's a rookie quarterback and he's playing in
Speaker 1: the road environment. That's a tough task for any guy,
Speaker 1: and so they're going to try to get after him
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I would not be surprised about that at all.
Speaker 1: That is phenomenal. From Garret Downing from Baltimore Ravens dot com.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for taking us behind enemy alignes
Speaker 1: presented by Gatorade. You're on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much, guys, Glenn, we talked about this earlier in
Speaker 1: the week when we had a reporter on another show
Speaker 1: talking about the Baltimore Ravens, and the question wasn't it
Speaker 1: there was a story a couple of weeks ago about
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh potentially being fired if the Ravens don't make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think that's a preposterous idea. It seems crazy.
Speaker 1: But remember this is a franchise, same ownership that fired
Speaker 1: Brian Billick after he had won a Super Bowl. What
Speaker 1: a year or two later when you're the plunker of
Speaker 1: a season. So in that sense, it's not impossible. And
Speaker 1: as we saw here with Andy Reid, every coach, as
Speaker 1: good as he is, at some point the town, the franchise,
Speaker 1: the owner, whatever, grows sick and tired of him. So
Speaker 1: on the outside it looks preposterous. Down there, maybe not
Speaker 1: so much. And what the reporter from Baltimore told us
Speaker 1: Cliff Brown is by the time he walked to his car,
Speaker 1: his phone would be ringing with offers. Sure, and they
Speaker 1: have had changes on the coaching staff. Marty morning Wegg
Speaker 1: elevated to offensive coordinators, So maybe there's some things behind
Speaker 1: the scenes for a seven and six football team that
Speaker 1: we do not see. We've got one segment to go
Speaker 1: here on Eagles three sixty when we return. Trey Burton
Speaker 1: is shown to be a versatile player and a productive
Speaker 1: one for the Eagles. He's the subject of this week's
Speaker 1: progress report on the way back on Eagles three six.
Speaker 1: He's good, dad, I'm telling you, he's lit okay, laying
Speaker 1: on me. You can't choose someone's taste in music, but
Speaker 1: at least you can choose two of your favorites from McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Mckpick two mini you like it, no, sir, with simply
Speaker 1: right checking from sun time. Their bank just make one
Speaker 1: to withdraw transfer or payment each month to wait the
Speaker 1: monthly fee and there's no minimum balance. You're all right,
Speaker 1: We're simply right checking from Santander Bank. Remarkable things are
Speaker 1: happening at your local ACME. We're making changes and we're
Speaker 1: getting better every day, Cleaner, friendlier, fresher like fresher meat
Speaker 1: and seafood, and fresher produce and hundreds of organics. To
Speaker 1: top it off, we're luring thousands of prices throughout the store.
Speaker 1: So come on in and see for yourself why acmee
Speaker 1: is just better lower prices, great quality and friendlier service. ACME,
Speaker 1: the official supermarket of the Philadelphia Eagles. He's good, dad,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he's lit, okay, laying on me. You
Speaker 1: can't choose someone's taste in music, but at least you
Speaker 1: can choose two of your favorites from McDonald's Mick Pick
Speaker 1: two men, you like it sure? Our final segment here
Speaker 1: on Eagles three sixty Dave spiderro with Glenn macdow. Time
Speaker 1: now for our progress report. This subject is trede burden.
Speaker 1: Those judging the progress Mike Quick and I Crease all right,
Speaker 1: cute progress report brings us to tight end Trey Burton,
Speaker 1: or you can call him the Swiss Army Knife, as
Speaker 1: he's become a big part of the offense and the
Speaker 1: special team. Surprisedly he hasn't gotten on defense yet. But
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, the more you can do, the more
Speaker 1: valuable you're gonna be. We're gonna watch Trey Burton here
Speaker 1: in the slot, and he had to play a lot
Speaker 1: more this week, detached from the offense in sort of
Speaker 1: a wide receiver role because we're down a guy in DGB,
Speaker 1: so Trey Burton slides in. There is one of our targets,
Speaker 1: and he certainly became one of Carson Wentzon's favorite players.
Speaker 1: To get the ball too, and this is one of
Speaker 1: the favorite route concepts, just to get into three level stretch.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a receiver in the flat. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get Trade on the corner route, and you're gonna get
Speaker 1: this outside receiver just clearing and Trade does a nice
Speaker 1: job here. I get the top of the route where
Speaker 1: Breedlan's got outside leverage, but he flattens that route because
Speaker 1: he knows he needs to get to the outside, and
Speaker 1: he gives Carson a target to get the football out too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: great job against one of Washington's better corners. That's one
Speaker 1: on one. Trey Burdie had no problem beating the covers there.
Speaker 1: Now you watch him here again detached. The Eagles go
Speaker 1: to an empty backfield set. He's out here. He's uncovered
Speaker 1: a little confusion with the resk his defense. You got
Speaker 1: Brelan out here again in a difficult situation where he
Speaker 1: has to cover basically two guys here. Carson notices this
Speaker 1: and makes him good throw the spot. This is a
Speaker 1: play where Trey is supposed to go into the flat,
Speaker 1: but just being a smart football player. He knows that
Speaker 1: if he just turns sharp, Brelan's gonna be in a quandry.
Speaker 1: Do I play this guy or do I play the
Speaker 1: guy behind me? Well, either way, you're wrong when you're
Speaker 1: in that situation. Carson went and makes the throw to
Speaker 1: the quarnerity end zone and it's just a smart football
Speaker 1: played by Trey not going into the flat and putting
Speaker 1: that guy in a tough situation. Yeah, making himself an
Speaker 1: immediate threat. And then you know, I love this part
Speaker 1: of his game. And then guy has just snapped on
Speaker 1: field goal because we're down our long snapper and John
Speaker 1: Doran balls it gives the Eagles the lead. Trey Burden
Speaker 1: goals in there, does a great job of getting to
Speaker 1: snap down they're able to kick the field goal. And
Speaker 1: then he's back out here on the kickoff, covers team
Speaker 1: being physical, doing a nice job. He gets down, he's
Speaker 1: not making the play, but watches boom. You know, he
Speaker 1: breaks up what would be a little wedge in the front,
Speaker 1: does a nice job of just slamming these two guys,
Speaker 1: putting one on their back and making it easier for
Speaker 1: those Green Shirts to get to the football. Yeah, playing downhill,
Speaker 1: playing physical, seems like there's a lane here, and then
Speaker 1: you watch him. He's right there in the hole with
Speaker 1: this returner. Now he doesn't make the play, but look
Speaker 1: at how many guys are around him. Does a great
Speaker 1: job of turning him back in to his teammates, Trey
Speaker 1: Burden quickly becoming one of the more invaluable players on
Speaker 1: his Eagles team. Well, Trey was almost there as the
Speaker 1: next running back in US today game. So if you
Speaker 1: need a running back called trait, if you need a
Speaker 1: long snapperor called trait, if you need a quarterback, almost
Speaker 1: you can call Trey Burton. He does a little bit
Speaker 1: of everything. Great progress from the Swiss Army night. Thanks guys.
Speaker 1: I know that Trey Burton is a favorite years. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I really like the way he plays. I like his aggressiveness.
Speaker 1: I think he's got hands, he can catch a ball,
Speaker 1: play special teams. They needed somebody along snap last week
Speaker 1: he stepped in did all right. I think he's a
Speaker 1: he's a versatile tool to have around, all right. I agree,
Speaker 1: And he's had thirty two catches. He's been a productive player,
Speaker 1: and he's getting better and better. So you can use
Speaker 1: a team of Trey Burton's and really helps himself out.
Speaker 1: All right, you guys like that, what's ahead for you
Speaker 1: here on Eagles three sixty, Well, here's our Amerosso's on
Speaker 1: the menu segment on Friday, Doug Peterson's final media address.
Speaker 1: We also will speak with, of course Howard Askin, who's
Speaker 1: my co host at that time, and our old school
Speaker 1: All twenty two matchup looks back at a memorable Eagles
Speaker 1: Ravens game. Amrossos the reason Philly sand which are so famous, win,
Speaker 1: throw the ball, score touchdowns in the red zone, shock
Speaker 1: the world. It will be a shocker. It would be
Speaker 1: a shocker. That's a desperate team playing the playoffs right now,
Speaker 1: that has to win the game and is playing at home.
Speaker 1: So it's a tough, tough match for the Eagles. They've
Speaker 1: won games this year where they weren't expected to win.
Speaker 1: It's been a while. Is it still in them? Amazing?
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Eight of ten games losses after that three
Speaker 1: and will start when you step back. It really truly
Speaker 1: is amazing, remarkable, very disappointing, really disappointing. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: So all right, Glenn mcnow, Dave Spidero we thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us here on Eagles three six D. I'm
Speaker 1: back with Howard. Ask him tomorrow. In the meantime, have
Speaker 1: yourselves are great
