Speaker 1: We are here at the Eagles three sixty Eagles in
Speaker 1: sideur day spare along with Glenn mcnow on this Tuesday
Speaker 1: at the Novacare Complex. Thanks for joining us. Great show
Speaker 1: for you today, a little fantasy football talk, a trip
Speaker 1: around the beleaguered NFC East, and we're gonna talk a
Speaker 1: little upset and just a bit here a couple of upsets.
Speaker 1: We got one coming up on Sunday. Right, Eagles Patriots
Speaker 1: are the Eagles favorite in this game. I have some
Speaker 1: good historic ones that you can certainly use to advance
Speaker 1: the cause that the you're so straight, how about how
Speaker 1: about Sam Bradford possibly getting back in the lineup on Sunday.
Speaker 1: How much of an impact would that have on his offense? Well,
Speaker 1: I think it'll help you in that Fewer turnovers is
Speaker 1: a good thing, and I think with Sam Bradford you
Speaker 1: can probably get fewer turnovers. More importantly, Dave, I think
Speaker 1: the key is you still have to assess what you're
Speaker 1: gonna have from Sam Bradford going into next year. Is
Speaker 1: he the guy you want to lock into next year?
Speaker 1: He looked very good before he got hurt. He was
Speaker 1: coming on strong. You want to see him get back
Speaker 1: and give you a few good games before the end
Speaker 1: of the year so you can make a better decision.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that prior to the injury he was
Speaker 1: progressing toward becoming potentially a franchise quarterback. You use the
Speaker 1: word developing and potentially, and yes, I will agree. I
Speaker 1: am not going to lock into him, but I thought
Speaker 1: he was getting better and so therefore it gave you,
Speaker 1: gave you some hope. You just need more evidence. So
Speaker 1: that's what you can have the chance to get. It
Speaker 1: is the large, the large, the large, number one story
Speaker 1: coming into the football season, and now with five games remaining,
Speaker 1: it remains the big story. An Eagles need to find
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback could be Sam Bradford. Let's get your
Speaker 1: cut up and everything happening on this Tuesday in South
Speaker 1: Philadelphia a rainy one. Indeed, we've got some updates for you.
Speaker 1: Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is your three
Speaker 1: sixty update. The rainy weather forced the Eagles inside for
Speaker 1: today's training session here at the Novocare Complex. The big
Speaker 1: story today centered around rookie cornerback Eric Rowe. As defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator Bill Davis said that Row will most likely be
Speaker 1: taking the outside snaps as he fills in for Nolan Carroll,
Speaker 1: who broke his ankle in Detroit. Now for Roe is
Speaker 1: to see significant playing time. Both he and his teammates
Speaker 1: are confident in his ability. I think Joe, I think's
Speaker 1: time for him to go out there and see what
Speaker 1: we have we You know, he played fourteen stamps matched
Speaker 1: up on Mega drown last week. They caught four on him,
Speaker 1: and I think Eric grew a little bit. Two of
Speaker 1: those catches were in the field which Eric was way
Speaker 1: too soft and far off, and we talked about it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just told him at the game. I
Speaker 1: was like, man, this this is how this is the
Speaker 1: time you get better. Like those games make you better.
Speaker 1: Everybody has them. What you do is you go back
Speaker 1: and you look at the technique and which you could
Speaker 1: have did right. You know, a great learning experience for me.
Speaker 1: But with the weekend, I mean that really helped, you know,
Speaker 1: clear my mind, you know, help me, help him recover it,
Speaker 1: get ready for this next week and you know, just
Speaker 1: gotta get back to what we used to doing. As
Speaker 1: Rowe and the rest of the Eagles defense looks to
Speaker 1: get back on track this weekend, they'll be facing the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots offense led by quarterback Tom Brady, who's
Speaker 1: among the best in the league at getting the ball
Speaker 1: out quick. We heard from some of the Eagles defenders
Speaker 1: inside the locker room about the challenges of playing a
Speaker 1: quarterback like Brady. You gotta be you gotta be close
Speaker 1: to perfect. You gotta be eleven guys doing exactly their job.
Speaker 1: You gotta hold your your defenses, you know. And I'm
Speaker 1: excited this week because you know, we seemed to maybe
Speaker 1: raise to the level of play, and I'm exciting, you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully watch us race to the race our level of
Speaker 1: play to go against one of the best. The mind said,
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta try to we gotta try to
Speaker 1: outsmart Brady because man, he's he don't believe he's smart.
Speaker 1: I mean, you like he said he is, and he
Speaker 1: is like the best, you know, probably he's the best
Speaker 1: quarterback I hadn't seen in my ears. So you gotta
Speaker 1: do the time a little bit and just you know,
Speaker 1: he helps. He likes doing the inside routes. That's that's
Speaker 1: his favorite. The goal always is to take away their
Speaker 1: first read. But you know it's now it's takeaway the
Speaker 1: first a second because he just is fast with the
Speaker 1: second read. And um, if you can do that, I
Speaker 1: mean you can, you might have a little you might
Speaker 1: have a game, you know, because Tom Brady and them
Speaker 1: they they go off looks, and you know he's good
Speaker 1: at reading. That will wrap things up for this edition
Speaker 1: of the three sixty Update. Be sure to stay tuned
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia Eagles dot com through out the week for
Speaker 1: all of the latest Eagles news. Thanks Alex. You know, Glenn,
Speaker 1: if you try to make any sense of this football season,
Speaker 1: very difficult to do. So a month ago, we're sitting here,
Speaker 1: Eagles beat the Cowboys, a couple of tomato cans on
Speaker 1: the menu here www, and wrote them all in right.
Speaker 1: Not exactly work out though. This is why I'm thinking
Speaker 1: that perhaps the tables are turned for Sunday. Why are
Speaker 1: you laughing? Because if it happens and things save Dave,
Speaker 1: it'll just be great. I can't sit here with a
Speaker 1: straight face and think that the Eagles are going to
Speaker 1: beat New England. Okay, well, hey, stranger things have happened.
Speaker 1: I mean this way, I've been wrong more often than
Speaker 1: right this year, so if I'm wrong again that would
Speaker 1: be terrific. We're counting on Glenn mcnow being wrong and
Speaker 1: speaking of David and Goliath. Well, in a football sense,
Speaker 1: we've got some great upsets for you, Eagles style. When
Speaker 1: we return to Eagles three sixty. Duncan's new sweet black

Speaker 1: Welcome back to Eagles three sixty. Dave Spitnaro, Eagles insider,
Speaker 1: along with Glenn macnow. The Eagles not favored by anybody
Speaker 1: to win this game doesn't mean that they won't win
Speaker 1: the game. And we are now going to hear from
Speaker 1: Glenn mcnow via the fans some of the great upsets
Speaker 1: in Eagles football history. One on Twitter last night, Dave
Speaker 1: Sparrow asked people, I'm mister Twitter, asked the fans to
Speaker 1: give me some of the great upsets of all time
Speaker 1: and I got to tell you. They responded. The good
Speaker 1: news is the Eagles have really been involved in a
Speaker 1: lot of big upsets over the years. I'll give you
Speaker 1: the runners up, and then I'll give you the top
Speaker 1: five runners up. I didn't want to go too ancient,
Speaker 1: but the last game of nineteen fifty three, the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns were going for twelve and no perfect record, Eagles
Speaker 1: beat him. That was from noted non Twitter or ray
Speaker 1: didn't er. Okay, somebody on Twitter does not know. Nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty three now now, but here's here's some of the
Speaker 1: good ones on Twitter U nineteen ninety five the famous
Speaker 1: fourth in one game against Dallas. Ricky Waters ran for
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten yards Gary Anderson field goal. Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Oh it was beautiful. The Cowboys were Super Bowl champs
Speaker 1: before and after that, so that was a good one.
Speaker 1: November twenty fifth, two thousand and two. McNabb breaks his ankle.
Speaker 1: They go to San Francisco for a Monday night game.
Speaker 1: Don't believe what I've seen. Nine point underdogs. Coy detmer
Speaker 1: is great blows out his elbow and they still win.
Speaker 1: Behind AJ Philly. These are the runners up and almost
Speaker 1: almost two thousand and seven against the Patriots. Patriots were
Speaker 1: twenty and a half twenty four and a half point favorites,
Speaker 1: and the Eagles hung in there till the end. It
Speaker 1: was the Patriots under quarterback of that game was AJ feeling. Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's your top five countydown number five. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Josh Winners on Twitter. This is the Eagles go to
Speaker 1: Dallas beat him ten to six as ten point underdogs
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven. The Companies were thirteen and
Speaker 1: three that year, and that game is best remembered for
Speaker 1: the very end of the game. You know it. They
Speaker 1: give the ball, They give the ball Brian Westbrook with
Speaker 1: just two minutes to go, and what happens stops at
Speaker 1: the one yard line, breaking the hearts of fantasy football
Speaker 1: players everywhere. Yeah, I could have used that six points,
Speaker 1: but Andy Reith says that was that Villanova Education shown
Speaker 1: a cent all right. Number four. September twenty second, nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty five, the Eagles go into Washington Week three is
Speaker 1: a fourteen point underdog, Reynald Cunningham's first win in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. Eagles had not scored a touchdown the
Speaker 1: first two weeks. They were fourteen point under dogs to
Speaker 1: Washington and they go in and beat him nineteen to six.
Speaker 1: That was Joe Gibb's team in his prime. Coach that
Speaker 1: day for the Eagles was Maryon Campbell kind of it was?
Speaker 1: It was it was like things were slipping away as
Speaker 1: last year before Buddy Ryan was not a good season.
Speaker 1: But that was a great underdog. Brunie later that year,
Speaker 1: right right, somebody named Smiley Criswell, Yes, two sections. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do remember that. In fact, he were number ninety two,
Speaker 1: if I believe prior to Reggie White wearing number nineties,
Speaker 1: that's not why they retired it though, I don't think so. Okay,
Speaker 1: Number three. Rob McGinnis gave me this one on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and it's a good one. Two thousand and eight playoff
Speaker 1: game against the New York Giants, who were the number
Speaker 1: one seed. The Giants coming off of their Super Bowl
Speaker 1: win the year before, Eagles have to go up to
Speaker 1: the meadow Lands. This is going to be a really
Speaker 1: tough one. Windshall seventeen miles an hour, you remember in
Speaker 1: twenty mile an hour wins. It's a tough day. And
Speaker 1: the Eagles, who were eight six and one that year,
Speaker 1: go up and beat the Giants that day. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to find the final score. I don't have. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter because the upset really that year was getting into
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And they remember the last day of the season,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay winning Dallas comes into into the link at
Speaker 1: Financial Field and it was just a nutsy, crazy four
Speaker 1: o'clock game and Eagles went out and smoked the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Jack no get I'm sorry. Game that was the upset
Speaker 1: the Giants game. That was just mojoe, and you know,
Speaker 1: and you know what it was. They got the bad
Speaker 1: Eli that game, and that the Eagles have always had
Speaker 1: good Eli, bad Eli. They crushed Eli. That so bad Eli.
Speaker 1: On Sunday against Washington, by the way, three interceptions in
Speaker 1: a fall down. All right, here you go. Number two,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine against the Cowboys. The Cowboys had beaten
Speaker 1: the Eagles nine times in a row. They had beaten
Speaker 1: him twenty one of the last twenty three games. The
Speaker 1: Eagles go to Dallas, and this was where Dick Vermil
Speaker 1: for three years after he came to the Eagles, said
Speaker 1: we gotta beat the Cowboys. You gotta do the extra
Speaker 1: rep because we gotta beat the Cowboys. You gotta run
Speaker 1: the extra windsprint. So when we can beat the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Night before that game, in the hotel, Dick Formil says
Speaker 1: to his players, you know what. He calls them all
Speaker 1: together in the hotel, you know what it's going to
Speaker 1: take to beat the Cowboys. One more day? And he
Speaker 1: leaves and they're chanting and screaming one more day, one
Speaker 1: more day. They go out. Jaws gets hurt that game,
Speaker 1: they beat him behind Ny Walton, That is correct, fifty
Speaker 1: nine yard field goal that game by Tony Franklin, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles beat the Cowboys thirty one to twenty one.
Speaker 1: A great up and somewhere Dick furmil is watching this,
Speaker 1: no doubt, sobbing at the memory. It was a great,
Speaker 1: great moment and the all time best Eagle upset. And
Speaker 1: by the way, this came from one of our fans.
Speaker 1: Put we'll put the Twitter handle up. There was nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety four, not a good year for the Eagles. They
Speaker 1: went seven and nine. They played the San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: nine ers, who by the way, would win the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl that year in San Francisco. They go into that
Speaker 1: one as a ten point underdog and they beat him
Speaker 1: forty eight. Who's great debut that day, Charlie Garner, of course,
Speaker 1: come on, what do I look like I was born yesterday? Well,
Speaker 1: maybe I do look like I was born yesterday. I
Speaker 1: look like a colonel to somebody turnip truck without knowing
Speaker 1: that Charlie Garner day. Come on, Victor Bailey, big day,
Speaker 1: Victor Bailey. Yeah. A lot of non memorable Eagles that day,
Speaker 1: headed by which coach Rich coach here we go. William
Speaker 1: Fuller knocked Steve Young, so it can happen, Eagles fans,
Speaker 1: and it will on Sunday. Thank you very much for
Speaker 1: the trip down memory lane to Glenn and to all
Speaker 1: the fans who helped us on Twitter, that new fangled
Speaker 1: technology that may or may not last. When we return
Speaker 1: to Eagles three sixty, we're going to talk about the
Speaker 1: NFC East, where literally anything can happen. I got tickets,
Speaker 1: Metro tickets. You need a Metro tickets off to me, please,
Speaker 1: I don't even know tickets. If you touch it, this
Speaker 1: leather legit, I mean, how do we really know? It

Speaker 1: Does the baby need a Metro ticket? I'll give her
Speaker 1: one on me. Please take They're not stealing your soul.
Speaker 1: You can look at them. May nobody wants to buy
Speaker 1: tickets from a guy in the street. I don't understand
Speaker 1: what makes a Temple our meet Stella. She's wise, fierce,
Speaker 1: and she's not alone. Temple University where owls call home.
Speaker 1: We are the Cherry and White. The city is our classroom,
Speaker 1: and we lead the rush hour, making our mark on

Speaker 1: sandwich just for downloading the app. McDonald's I'm loving it.
Speaker 1: We welcome you back to Eagles three sixty Dave spidero
Speaker 1: Eagles Insider, along with Glenn mcnow time now to take
Speaker 1: a look around the NFC East presented by Bob's Discount Furniture,
Speaker 1: and remarkably at the top of the heap, Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: and his Washington Redskins football team. How about Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: right now being the best quarterback in the division. I
Speaker 1: would probably agree with that. He's got game manager skills
Speaker 1: and a mind that occasionally goes rogue on him, which
Speaker 1: hurts him. But if you look at this team, they
Speaker 1: are undefeated at home. I can't win on the road.
Speaker 1: First one, the first, excuse me? There they are I
Speaker 1: haven't won on the road. There. They've won one game
Speaker 1: at home and in a really poor division where we
Speaker 1: said eight and eight to win it all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: they're they're in the race. Yeah, not only in the race,
Speaker 1: they are leading the race, hosting the Dallas Cowboys on
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. I actually think the Cowboys will go
Speaker 1: to FedEx Field and give the Redskins a real battle.
Speaker 1: I just think that Dez Bryan and I just think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are due for a win here. With Matt
Speaker 1: Castlewick quarterback Tony Romo out for the season now reinjuring
Speaker 1: the collarbone, Glenn, it makes me wonder just how many
Speaker 1: more comebacks at age thirty six, Tony Romo has um Well,
Speaker 1: I think you're right, and father time catches up with everybody.
Speaker 1: Clearly he's gonna come back next year, and it's the
Speaker 1: kind of injury that's not gonna linger. But yeah, he's
Speaker 1: been beat up a lot over the years. The decision
Speaker 1: they're going to have to make along with that in
Speaker 1: the short term is if they continue to lose, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they still think they can be there,
Speaker 1: but one more loss and they're done. Are they going
Speaker 1: to shut down Dez Bryant, who clearly isn't playing one
Speaker 1: hundred percent? Are they going to shut down some of
Speaker 1: the other guys who aren't up there. When do they
Speaker 1: decide to pack it? In three of their four games
Speaker 1: here that we see are away from Texas, tough games
Speaker 1: at Buffalo, you know, they've got at Green Bay, They've
Speaker 1: got the at Washington on Monday night the Cowboys. I
Speaker 1: still think, I mean seven and nine, it's not inconceivable
Speaker 1: for to seven and nine, I mean it's not inconceivable,
Speaker 1: right five and six leagues of the video. It's not
Speaker 1: inconceivable because nobody wants to win. So that's why the
Speaker 1: Eagles are still in this raised people. Well theoretically, yeah,
Speaker 1: and maybe it comes down to that last game against
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, who this week play the New
Speaker 1: York Jets at MetLife Stadium. The big concern for the
Speaker 1: Giants is the offensive line. They lose Jeff Schwartz for
Speaker 1: the season. They are banged up in front of Eli
Speaker 1: Manning and watching the game on day Washington and New York,
Speaker 1: Eli Manning a shell of what he has been at
Speaker 1: times in recent years, falling down with pressure in his face,
Speaker 1: throwing end zone interceptions behind his receivers. Had it not
Speaker 1: been for the superhuman catch from Odell Beckham Junior, that
Speaker 1: New York Giants football team's offense pretty much non productive
Speaker 1: at all against Washington. Yeah, and a big part of
Speaker 1: it is they've had no running game all year, right,
Speaker 1: And that's you know, if you have no running game,
Speaker 1: well really for you, Yeah, that's that's true, right once
Speaker 1: the last time they had Rodney Hampton. I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe since I'm just kidding, but seriously, they don't run.
Speaker 1: They have not run the football well at all. No,
Speaker 1: they canon and Rashard Jennings isn't going to be the
Speaker 1: guy who can do it. And so therefore, if you
Speaker 1: have no running game and the teams can just blitz
Speaker 1: and kill your quarterback, they're gonna kill it. OJ Anderson,
Speaker 1: that's what no, Jacobs Brandon Brandon Jo was pretty good boy.
Speaker 1: I love the Eagles when they used to stuff him
Speaker 1: on those times. But then that's what I want to
Speaker 1: see from these Eagles games. I don't see the physical
Speaker 1: Eagles defense of years past and run around the block
Speaker 1: it's kind of defense, right, and it's tough against the
Speaker 1: Eagles have a tough time against those power runners right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who's the Patriots really the only guy they have left
Speaker 1: on offense? I didn't Brady, right, now La Garrett. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah it was tough. Yeah pretty good. Yeah, he's not elite,
Speaker 1: but he's tough. He's tough. One pack him off the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, flits him, man press, Let's go after
Speaker 1: Tom Brady when we return to Eagles three sixty. That,
Speaker 1: by the way, as you look at the NFC East,
Speaker 1: which is literally not changed since day one of the season,
Speaker 1: we use words like muddled and beleaguered and middling and
Speaker 1: NFC least all year, very consistent division. You can say
Speaker 1: anything you want about the NFC East. It's been consistent
Speaker 1: lee bad. When we return, we're taking a look at
Speaker 1: fantasy football thanks to Alex Smith and Joe Dolan. I've
Speaker 1: always kept very close tabs on every NFL team. What
Speaker 1: are you doing in there? That's why I got NFL

Speaker 1: I don't play it. I recognize that everybody does. It's
Speaker 1: fantasy football time here on Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero,
Speaker 1: Glenn mcnow, how did you do? By the way, you're
Speaker 1: what's to deal with your six leagues? We started with
Speaker 1: twenty seven seven ninety people called the last fans standing.
Speaker 1: Right now we are down to twenty five people, Dave.
Speaker 1: Last year at this time I had eight hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty people. This year I have twenty five. It is
Speaker 1: the most unpredictable, crazy NFL season, and not just because
Speaker 1: of the Eagles. And how would you describe your fantasy
Speaker 1: football acumen? Eight and four in one league made the
Speaker 1: playoffs six and six and the other league made the
Speaker 1: playoffs because it's the NFC East. I guess yeah, So
Speaker 1: I'm in the playoffs in both leagues. Well, playoff time.
Speaker 1: The postseason is here for fantasy football. Alex Smith and
Speaker 1: Joe Dolan here to take us on a trip down
Speaker 1: fantasy lane. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith, and welcome to
Speaker 1: another edition of Fantasy Spin, presented by Bud Light. I'm
Speaker 1: joined as i am every week, by Joe Dolan, the
Speaker 1: managing editor of Fantasy Guru dot com. Joe, let's start
Speaker 1: things off today by talking about the Eagles and if
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford is healthy this week and he can go
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, what does that mean for fantasy owners?
Speaker 1: And how does that affect a guy like Jordan Matthews. Well, obviously,
Speaker 1: it's been a tough stretch of games for the Eagles
Speaker 1: here this lot, these last couple of weeks, but I
Speaker 1: would think Sam Bradford coming back at least gives them
Speaker 1: a little bit of juice. It seems like everything kind
Speaker 1: of fell apart for them when Sam Bradford went out
Speaker 1: against Miami a couple of weeks ago. And I know
Speaker 1: that's not gonna exactly help maybe a defense that's struggling,
Speaker 1: but I think it should help bring some stability back
Speaker 1: to the team. Now. As for Bradford, his fantasy production
Speaker 1: hasn't been great this year, but you have to think
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to score points to keep up with
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I don't care who Tom Brady has to
Speaker 1: throw too. I don't care if Rob Gronkowski's out in
Speaker 1: this game. I don't care if Danny Ammon doles out,
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman's already out. I don't care. They're going to
Speaker 1: score points and they're coming off a loss, so Tom
Speaker 1: Brady's gonna be angry. So I would think that the
Speaker 1: Eagles are going to have to throw to keep up
Speaker 1: in this one, and that bodes well if you are
Speaker 1: desperate for stam Bradford, and I think it bodes well
Speaker 1: for Jordan Matthews because the Patriots are giving up nearly
Speaker 1: two hundred yards per game to opposing wide receivers over
Speaker 1: the last five weeks. Go out in Denver, two games
Speaker 1: and two wins for Brock Osweiler. Right now, are really
Speaker 1: not sure how long Peyton Manning is going to be out.
Speaker 1: So if Osweiler is the guy out in Denver, how
Speaker 1: good of an option is he going forward? I think
Speaker 1: he's a viable streaming option. And the first thing you
Speaker 1: look at, especially this year. This year has been crazy
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks. All the guys you drafted early Luck Rogers,
Speaker 1: these guys aren't coming through for you. And it's been
Speaker 1: a streaming year. There's gonna be Fantasy championship teams with
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles on them. There's gonna be Fantasy championship teams
Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick on them. And I think you can
Speaker 1: throw Brock Oswyler into that mix. And one of the
Speaker 1: first things you look at when you're looking at quarterbacks
Speaker 1: this year, actually, the first thing you look at is
Speaker 1: the schedule down the stretch, and fortunately, if you picked
Speaker 1: up brock Osweiler, he's got a really good one at
Speaker 1: San Diego, at home against Oakland, He's got at Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: and then at home against Cincinnati. The hardest matchup on
Speaker 1: that schedule is at home against Cincinnati. So Brock Goswiler
Speaker 1: has a really nice run of games down here now.
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak said this week, brock Osweiler has got to
Speaker 1: stop taking those big hits. We saw him get popped
Speaker 1: a couple of times against the New England Patriots, but
Speaker 1: you have to be impressed with what he's done. I
Speaker 1: support brock Osweiler as a streaming quarterback option down the stretch.
Speaker 1: Getting back to the Eagles opponent for Sunday Night, the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. If Rob Gronkowski cannot play, and it
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to be out for this game,
Speaker 1: maybe out for a couple of weeks with a knee injury,
Speaker 1: what other Patriots targets might be viable fantasy options moving forward?
Speaker 1: Next man up? And you saw Scott Chandler if you
Speaker 1: watch the game Sunday night, he was just getting peppered
Speaker 1: with targets, and I know he dropped a couple, but
Speaker 1: he's a big target. They lined them up at wide,
Speaker 1: they played him at wide receiver. He's a deadly option
Speaker 1: in the red. Zony had a lot of touchdowns with
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills earlier in his career, So Scott Chandler
Speaker 1: is a viable guy. It doesn't look like to me,
Speaker 1: Ron Gronkowski's gonna play this week. It looks like the
Speaker 1: Patriots are just like, you know what, we lost, We're
Speaker 1: ten and one, We're still in the driver's seat. We're
Speaker 1: going to give him a rest. I don't think Scott
Speaker 1: Chandler has big time fantasy value this week. And also
Speaker 1: Brandon LaFell. He's been a little disappointing, but remember against Denver,
Speaker 1: you're going up against arguably the best cornerback trio in
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. Not a whole lot of separation for
Speaker 1: Brandon LaFell. I think he gets involved. And also you
Speaker 1: have to keep an eye on Danny Amadola's status. He
Speaker 1: could be back this week and Joe finally give us
Speaker 1: one good matchup and one not so good matchup this weekend.
Speaker 1: For fantasy owners, well, C. J. Anderson, if you managed
Speaker 1: to survive, if you may just to whether the storm
Speaker 1: was CJ. Anderson. This is a great matchup for him.
Speaker 1: The San Diego Chargers have been leaking points to running
Speaker 1: backs all year long. CJ. Anderson, to my eyes, I
Speaker 1: think it was blatantly obvious if you watch the game Sunday.
Speaker 1: He is the better back for that team. He's the
Speaker 1: better pass protector, he's the better receiver. He's the more
Speaker 1: natural downhill guy. Ronnie Hillman's more of just a speed,
Speaker 1: change of pace type of guy. So C J. Anderson,
Speaker 1: if you held on to him, or if you picked
Speaker 1: him up off the waiver wire, I think he's viable
Speaker 1: this week. And there's a really bad matchup for Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks of the New Orleans Saints. He gets to take
Speaker 1: on Josh Norman and the Carolina Panthers. And while Cooks
Speaker 1: is a receiver who moves around and Norman won't necessarily
Speaker 1: follow him inside, if Cooks goes in there, just keep
Speaker 1: in mind that same offensive line has been in trouble.
Speaker 1: In a good matchup last week against the text and
Speaker 1: secondary Drew Brees had no time to throw whatsoever. Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks not a great look this week against Carolina. All Right, Joe,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Our thanks to Joe Dolan, the

Speaker 1: it here first. And I was in the media relations
Speaker 1: room the other day yesterday, twenty four thirteen. Eagles is
Speaker 1: my bold prediction for Sunday. Wow, well that's bolder than mine.
Speaker 1: It's a double digit win, Glenn boy Dave, I would
Speaker 1: love to see that. Here. Here's what I'll just give
Speaker 1: you a little taste of it. And maybe it's not
Speaker 1: that bold, but here you go. Tom Brady is gonna
Speaker 1: throw two touchdown passes to guys you never even heard
Speaker 1: of before. That's as bold as I can get for
Speaker 1: right now. I'll come back Thursday and give you something
Speaker 1: a little a little more in depth. It is so
Speaker 1: not bold, but they will miss one of those extra
Speaker 1: points and thus they're gonna block this kowski. That's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: What's ahead on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com, it's our Ameroso's

Speaker 1: some Eagle Beat reporters and our first look at the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. We don't expect Bronk to play, but

Speaker 1: gonna give you the long I guess the tallest short
