Speaker 1: We welcome you to Eagles three sixty. Dave SPANNERO Glenn mcnal.
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, final week of this Eagles twenty sixteen season,
Speaker 1: and we're getting ready for the Dallas Cowboys, which to me,
Speaker 1: Glenn still gets the blood boiling. Well, to me, it
Speaker 1: does as well because it's the Dallas Cowboys. I know.
Speaker 1: The game has no literal meaning whatsoever. Doesn't affect the
Speaker 1: Eagles draft positions, certainly not in the first round. It
Speaker 1: the Eagles aren't going to the playoffs. The Cowboys are
Speaker 1: locked in. But they still wear the star, and they
Speaker 1: still wear that blue and silver, and it's still a
Speaker 1: regular season game, So Dave, I'm into it. Are they
Speaker 1: the best team in the NFC? In the NF see, Well,
Speaker 1: the record is the best. I do not think they
Speaker 1: will get to the super Bowl though. I think their
Speaker 1: defense is flawed. I think their pass rush isn't there.
Speaker 1: I think they're playing with a rookie quarterback. I'll say
Speaker 1: they don't go to the super Bowl. Green Bay's the
Speaker 1: hottest team right right. Green Bay's right. They're not even
Speaker 1: in the playoffs yet they have to win. Green Bay
Speaker 1: kind of. They got their defense back together after they
Speaker 1: were so horrible, kind of got it together against the
Speaker 1: Eagles and then kept it running. I had to pick
Speaker 1: one team, I'll take Greendown. It is amazing Glen how
Speaker 1: teams at times in years past have gotten better at
Speaker 1: the expensive Eagles And Aaron Rodgers is certifiably on by Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's great. Jordy Nelson, their defense worked out. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Are we wait for the day when the Eagles are
Speaker 1: in that position and won't be long busy day of
Speaker 1: the Novicare Complex on Thursday, the players in the locker
Speaker 1: room talking about the finale. Let's get your caught up
Speaker 1: with everything happening with the Philadelphia Eagles. Today are three
Speaker 1: six the Update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex
Speaker 1: Smith here with your three sixty update. Well, the playoffs
Speaker 1: maybe out of reach for the Eagles, but there is
Speaker 1: still plenty to play for in Sunday's regular season finale
Speaker 1: against the Dallas Cowboys. Today inside the locker room, we
Speaker 1: heard from Nelson, Agilor, Lane Johnson, and Benny Logan on
Speaker 1: what they're playing for in this final game. Well, it's
Speaker 1: what's in front of us right now. So that's the
Speaker 1: most important thing. And you know, some people can use
Speaker 1: that because it's another opportunity to put some on film.
Speaker 1: You know, we might do some really special things offensively,
Speaker 1: some guys might really show their strengths. And at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, my responsibilities myself and I plan
Speaker 1: on going out there and just trying to execute what
Speaker 1: comes my way and just play hard. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: play excellent from from here on out. So if we
Speaker 1: just getna win, if we you know, put a dent
Speaker 1: in their ribs for they hit the hit playoffs, that'd
Speaker 1: be a good thing. But you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're gonna play their starters. I mean, nobody really knows.
Speaker 1: But if they do, I want them to go, you know,
Speaker 1: full till I want to win. That's the most thing
Speaker 1: we gotta win, you know, last Thursday night, just the
Speaker 1: finds of the season. You know, two wins at home
Speaker 1: is a great thing, a great thing for the is
Speaker 1: and a great thing for us, just building twilves. You
Speaker 1: know what the next season is going to be in
Speaker 1: the OTA's in all season things like that. So the
Speaker 1: most important thing you want to do is wins Sunday
Speaker 1: and just go from there. Speaking of Nelson Agloor, He's
Speaker 1: had his struggles this year in his third NFL season,
Speaker 1: but he did bounce back with a forty yard touchdown
Speaker 1: against the New York Giants last Thursday, and he's hoping
Speaker 1: to build some momentum off of that into next season. Well,
Speaker 1: every opportunity I capitalize on, it's something to grow from
Speaker 1: and to use to you know, as you know, as
Speaker 1: an example of how to execute or you know how
Speaker 1: to make plays, and you know, just point about it
Speaker 1: is you make those plays, know that you're capable and
Speaker 1: continue to grow and finally will close things out with
Speaker 1: an injury update. No, Jordan Matthews again at practice for
Speaker 1: the Eagles as he deals with an ankle injury. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Alan Barber with his injured hamstring and Jordan Hicks with
Speaker 1: his injured ankle were both limited in today's practice. For
Speaker 1: anything you may have missed from today inside the Locker Room,
Speaker 1: stay right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the
Speaker 1: official Eagles mobile app. Thanks so much, Alex. We will
Speaker 1: find out more about the Dallas Cowboys a bit later
Speaker 1: in the show when we go behind enemy lines. Glenn
Speaker 1: will have his bold predictions still. Okay, one more why
Speaker 1: not right? Coming up next on Eagles three sixty defensive
Speaker 1: end Brandon Graham has had himself a hack of his season.
Speaker 1: He'll be in studio to talk about it. Their legend
Speaker 1: is legendary. They've seen the end zone more often than
Speaker 1: any other duo in history. They are professional football player watchers.

Speaker 1: Brandy Graham in the house with David Spidero here. How
Speaker 1: you doing, man? Oh man, I'm doing good. That smile going,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm feeling good. Um, you know, I understand
Speaker 1: what's going on. We got the Cowboys and next and
Speaker 1: we're done for the season. But overall, we got another
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out, Dren, show what we can do.
Speaker 1: How close brand You've been here long enough to know
Speaker 1: a playoff team from a non playoff team. How close
Speaker 1: are the Philadelphia Oh? We are very close? And I'm
Speaker 1: excited to see what how we know those guys do
Speaker 1: this offseason and you know, just just to help this
Speaker 1: team win because we want one play away from you know,
Speaker 1: winning all those games, because you know most of them
Speaker 1: are self inflict into. Tell me a little bit about
Speaker 1: the defense. I've talked to you so many times in
Speaker 1: the preseason training camp, and the idea was that the
Speaker 1: Eagles We're gonna just wreak havoc. NonStop offenses have changed
Speaker 1: the way they've played to get the football out. Has
Speaker 1: that kind of been the biggest deterrent to you Having
Speaker 1: more than five and a half sacks and fletch, we
Speaker 1: all fought double digit sacks for everybody on the front line.
Speaker 1: And I think, um, disrupting was the biggest thing for
Speaker 1: us too, because we know if you disrupt the quarterback
Speaker 1: that's just as good. But I think, um, yes, we
Speaker 1: we would love double digits. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: we won games because we was disruptive out there and
Speaker 1: we stopped a run and we we played together. And
Speaker 1: all all you really want is eleven guys going out
Speaker 1: there playing together, communicating. And I think that's where we
Speaker 1: shot ourselves in the foot a lot, was the communication sometimes,
Speaker 1: because it's not that we're not playing hard, it's just
Speaker 1: really you know, communications off of one or two plays,
Speaker 1: and that's could change the game, you know sometimes. And
Speaker 1: for us, I think you know the numbers down, but
Speaker 1: yes they do. You know, just kind of game planners,
Speaker 1: which is which is a good thing, and we just
Speaker 1: all just need to, you know, make our players when
Speaker 1: they come. You are a fourth three defensive end, you
Speaker 1: want to stay a fourth three defensive end forever. Now,
Speaker 1: I would love it. I would love to, but I
Speaker 1: understand this the game and you never know what might happen.
Speaker 1: But I'm just happy that I adjusted well in the
Speaker 1: three four. But I'm we're not gonna talk about that
Speaker 1: because we're gonna stay in the four and three right now,
Speaker 1: four three, because you know, coming out of my coming
Speaker 1: from a three point stands is a lot better than
Speaker 1: and you're more ready or than standing up because you
Speaker 1: see too much. When you stand up, you're locked on
Speaker 1: the ball when you're in the three point. So I
Speaker 1: think that's a good strength of mine. I see you
Speaker 1: at times cheating inside. It's like you are reading a
Speaker 1: play and then you stand up and kind of start
Speaker 1: cheating inside and then you run down the line. You're
Speaker 1: making a grip. Is that something that you have seen
Speaker 1: on film that you're cheating? Explaining? Or am making this
Speaker 1: something in my brain? Coach Soortz dials in, you know
Speaker 1: some of the you know plays and you know during
Speaker 1: the week you kind of learn what they like to do.
Speaker 1: And m he tells me, you know, it's on you
Speaker 1: to have a tak it call if you want to.
Speaker 1: And all I gotta do is communicated with the linebacker
Speaker 1: because it switches his gap to outside, and you know,
Speaker 1: I feel the gap that's inside. So I think I've
Speaker 1: been doing a good job as far as knowing exactly
Speaker 1: when to do it. And then um, you know, it's
Speaker 1: just certain times when you see certain things that you
Speaker 1: kind of went through and film and talk to the
Speaker 1: coach about and they felt comfortable and I did, so
Speaker 1: they kind of give me the leadway if we see it,
Speaker 1: take it, you know, because if we all on the
Speaker 1: same page. He covered me just I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: when I take the inside, I just got to communicate it. Brandon,
Speaker 1: what will be the thing that you most associate with
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles in twenty sixteen when the season is
Speaker 1: done and you're sitting there, going, well, this is the
Speaker 1: season that was What were you think about? H This
Speaker 1: was the season that I learned how to be more
Speaker 1: of a leader, more of a vocal leader. I learned, um,
Speaker 1: you know, like what a family I mean, man, because
Speaker 1: our backs was up against the war. For when we
Speaker 1: went on that two and seven stretch and we all
Speaker 1: got you know, got tight, and you know, we all
Speaker 1: stayed together as family and we and we went through
Speaker 1: it together. And I think that showed me a lot,
Speaker 1: because you know, I grew up. I'm the oldest and
Speaker 1: I don't have no brothers. In this year, I felt
Speaker 1: like I filed off and people helped me, you know,
Speaker 1: become a good leader. And even though we didn't get
Speaker 1: the results we wanted, we understand that we was in
Speaker 1: all those games. And really it's just the thanks that
Speaker 1: we have to clean up going into next year. And
Speaker 1: I think we did did that this last game. We
Speaker 1: we finished the game when it was on our backs
Speaker 1: as a defense, and I think it all catapulled us
Speaker 1: next year if we if we do the same thing
Speaker 1: in this game, what will the level of intensity be
Speaker 1: like in the locker room on Sunday? Will it be
Speaker 1: as it is for every regular season game? Will it
Speaker 1: be something special because it's the last game. What's it
Speaker 1: gonna be like. It's going to be intense. It's the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: you know. If you can't get jacked up for this one,
Speaker 1: even I don't care who's not playing or anything. We
Speaker 1: just want to go out there and send a message,
Speaker 1: you know, for next year. And I think it's always
Speaker 1: good when you can end well. Would a win and
Speaker 1: you are a first alternate to the Pro Bowl, Congratulations
Speaker 1: on that. Thank you. What will it means to you
Speaker 1: to be in Orlando? It means so much to me
Speaker 1: because I've been through a lot here. I've been through
Speaker 1: the lows and now the high high part of being
Speaker 1: here and hopefully, you know, it can stay in the highs.
Speaker 1: I think it's just the perseverance that I kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, pushed myself to go through, especially during the
Speaker 1: hard times, like not really why and about all things
Speaker 1: ain't the way it's supposed to be. Just keep working.
Speaker 1: And I think that it's that much more to me
Speaker 1: now because I got a baby girl and a wife,
Speaker 1: and I think that's was a big part on why,
Speaker 1: you know what helped me focus more in football. And
Speaker 1: I think it's showing it. Man. I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: so thankful that that this day is here. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and the rest of the league shows you some respect.
Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, it's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty cool, man,
Speaker 1: because you know, I was the guy with the short
Speaker 1: arms and all that. You know, I couldn't play d
Speaker 1: N in this league. And I'm just happy that it was.
Speaker 1: It was the years of of our of us being
Speaker 1: short with the short arms. But you just gotta have
Speaker 1: the motor. You gotta have something that you could bring
Speaker 1: to the table. And I think my effort is what
Speaker 1: I pride myself on the most. Brandon finally as a
Speaker 1: Michigan man, will you root for a Her States in
Speaker 1: the BOWLD Championship Series player, No, Clemson about to win?
Speaker 1: You know I already talked to Jenkins already were good, right,
Speaker 1: he got me once, but he know they stole one.
Speaker 1: I give it to him. A win is a win
Speaker 1: because I would have get to exactly right. Thanks, good
Speaker 1: luck on Sunday beat the Cowboys. Thank you, Randy Grahmin Studio.

Speaker 1: We are back, Dave Spinnaro, Glenn mcnow. Time now for
Speaker 1: Glenn to give us his final Bowl predictions of two thousands.
Speaker 1: And this one's tougher than ever because we don't know
Speaker 1: who's gonna play, what it's gonna mean, how it's gonna
Speaker 1: play out, but we'll do it anyway. Dave. Maybe my
Speaker 1: I'll do better than my average. You can never know.
Speaker 1: H Doug Peterson is going to want to win this game.
Speaker 1: It's going to be an important thing for him to
Speaker 1: try to finish well. He's down to two running backs
Speaker 1: right Byron Marshall and Darren Sprowls. What that tells me
Speaker 1: is that Darren Sprowls is gonna get it over trusting
Speaker 1: a rookie. So it's going to be Darren Sprowls. He
Speaker 1: is going to have his most touches of the season,
Speaker 1: which would be twenty one. He's going to have his
Speaker 1: most yards total yards of the season, which will be
Speaker 1: passing one hundred and twenty eight. He's gonna have him both,
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls And talked about this with Frank Reich this week.
Speaker 1: What a remarkable athlete who has seemingly shown no slow down,
Speaker 1: no lack of quickness, no loss of burst. How long
Speaker 1: can he go? Glenn? One more year? Okay, there go,
Speaker 1: and that's what you do. I think you'd take him
Speaker 1: one more His salary is pretty affordable. He brings so
Speaker 1: much to the team in terms of catching passes, running
Speaker 1: when you need him to run. He's a good blocker,
Speaker 1: punt returns, leadership. His contract is not outrageous. One more year, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, number you have a bold prediction number two.
Speaker 1: There are lots of NFL rookie records up for grabs
Speaker 1: on Sunday. One's going to happen. One is not going
Speaker 1: to happen. The easiest and most obvious is that Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz needs three more completions to set the all time
Speaker 1: rookie record. That's not so bold, but that's going to
Speaker 1: happen in the first quarter. The second is that Zeke
Speaker 1: Elliott needs one hundred and seventy eight yards to break
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson's all time rookie rushing record. Now, Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: has been very coy about whether they're going to go
Speaker 1: for this. He said, and you intern for this stage today.
Speaker 1: So he will certainly play and play a lot, and
Speaker 1: you can never tell. He might find a good running
Speaker 1: situation up there. I think he'll approach that record. Wowsy impersonation, Hey,
Speaker 1: terrible Texas twining. I think if if Jerry Jones and
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett play Ezekiel Elliott more than two seconds, it's
Speaker 1: a complete waste of time. It's nothing, it benefits nobody,
Speaker 1: it's it's not a game of individual records. And as
Speaker 1: much as we hate to say it and dread the thought,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are a Super Bowl contender and that guy
Speaker 1: is one of them, prime prime reasons. So playing Prescott
Speaker 1: playing Elliott makes no sense. Well, I think I'm playing
Speaker 1: both like the first quarter or whatever, which is which happens,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't make any sense. Prescott, excuse me. Elliot's
Speaker 1: going to get like fifty yards forty yards and then
Speaker 1: he's going to be out of the game. All right,
Speaker 1: So here's the last record and here's the last Bowld prediction.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is going for a huge record. Both the
Speaker 1: Cowboys record wins regular season, They've never had fourteen by
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and the rookie record for wins thirteen now
Speaker 1: is tied by he and Ben Roethlisberger. He's going for fourteen.
Speaker 1: He's not going to get it. He will start, he
Speaker 1: will play, and then they're going to go to Mark
Speaker 1: sanche Is and the Eagles will win the game. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the bold prediction. That is bold. And we've got
Speaker 1: two more bold predictions from glenmac now coming up on
Speaker 1: the Kickoff Show presented by Exalta, and that airs at
Speaker 1: noon on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com on Sunday. We've got
Speaker 1: you covered all day into the night as the Eagles
Speaker 1: conclude sadly this two thousand and sixteen season. When we
Speaker 1: return to Eagles three sixty, we go behind enemy lines.
Speaker 1: What a season for the Dallas Cowboys thirteen and two
Speaker 1: coming into this game. We'll talk about it as much
Speaker 1: as we have to. Behind enemy Lines is next year

Speaker 1: I to step aside. Chris McPherson Behind Enemy Lines David Hellman,
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Hello Eagles Fans, I'm Chris McPherson
Speaker 1: and Yes, it is the final edition of Behind Enemy
Speaker 1: Lines for the twenty sixteen season, presented by Gayade and
Speaker 1: to preview the season finale against the Yes NFC East
Speaker 1: champion Dallas Cowboys. We welcome back David Hellman, staff writer
Speaker 1: for Dallas Cowboys dot Com. And David, my first question
Speaker 1: for you is this, Jerry Joe has said that there's
Speaker 1: no reason to change the game plan from a playing
Speaker 1: time standpoint for Sunday's matchup. Is he throwing a curveball?
Speaker 1: Or do you think that we could see the starters
Speaker 1: for Dallas for all four quarters even though everything for
Speaker 1: them is already clinched. I certainly think you're gonna see
Speaker 1: some starters in this game. But I think that was
Speaker 1: Jerry maybe a little bit of gamesmanship on Jerry Jones's part,
Speaker 1: you know, like you said, not a whole lot to gain,
Speaker 1: win or lose in this ballgame. I can't imagine guys
Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott, Ezekiel, Elliott, Dez Bryant or playing all
Speaker 1: four quarters. Obviously talking about a forty six man roster,
Speaker 1: so there's no way you can sit every single player
Speaker 1: on this team. But I'm talking about your starting quarterback,
Speaker 1: you're starting running back. I expect to see some backups
Speaker 1: take the field at some point in this game, maybe second,
Speaker 1: third quarter, after halftime. Certainly, I can't see everybody going
Speaker 1: all sixty minutes. Though David Jerry left out the possibility
Speaker 1: that Zeke Elliot will have a chance to get the
Speaker 1: rookie rushing record would need a huge performance, obviously. Do
Speaker 1: you think that he'll actually have an a shot at
Speaker 1: it or is it one of those things where we'll
Speaker 1: see how the first quarter goes and then it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, Zeke will pushing bubble wrap and make sure
Speaker 1: you're good for two weeks in the divisional round. I
Speaker 1: gotta think that's wishful thing. And I made the joke
Speaker 1: earlier today. I mean, if by some chance, as Eigil
Speaker 1: Elliott popped off two eighty yard touchdowns, he would still
Speaker 1: be short of the record. So you're talking about if
Speaker 1: he was gonna do it, he would first of all
Speaker 1: need to set a career high. He's about one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy eight yards away. I believe he would need
Speaker 1: to set a career high. He'd probably need, you know,
Speaker 1: upward of twenty twenty five carries to get it done.
Speaker 1: Against the defense like this, I don't see the point
Speaker 1: if he was going to have a shot at the record.
Speaker 1: I think he needed to have a better night against Detroit. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he kind of sat out of the fourth quarter of
Speaker 1: that one with the score being the way it was,
Speaker 1: and I just I just don't see the point. I
Speaker 1: think he probably gets, you know, a quarter or two
Speaker 1: of work just to stay fresh. But I think Dickerson's
Speaker 1: going to keep the record, David Tyrn Smith, you know,
Speaker 1: so for the knee injury against Detroit, we'll be back
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. Doesn't look like the Hill play Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. Do you think that impact the decision
Speaker 1: where if Dak Prescott does come out of the game,
Speaker 1: that we may see Mark Sanchez over Tony Romo to
Speaker 1: give Sanchez the reps and also a chance to face
Speaker 1: his former team in the Eagles. Absolutely, yeah, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: if we're being honest here, still a couple days to
Speaker 1: go before the game, but I expect it to be
Speaker 1: Sanchez going against his old team if Dak does in
Speaker 1: fact come out. I just don't see a whole lot
Speaker 1: of reward in putting Tony Romo into this game. And
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys do either, Like you said,
Speaker 1: Tyrn smiths not expected to play. Ronald Leary showed up
Speaker 1: on the injury report today the starting left guard. So
Speaker 1: you're talking about putting, you know, thirty six year old
Speaker 1: Tony Romo who's had injury issues into a game with
Speaker 1: you know, second and third string type of players, and
Speaker 1: for what, really, I mean maybe twenty twenty five snaps
Speaker 1: in a game that doesn't mean a whole lot for
Speaker 1: either team. I think they would rather have him one
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy for a potential playoff run than worry
Speaker 1: about getting him those snaps. So, like I said, if
Speaker 1: Dak comes out or when he comes out, I would
Speaker 1: imagine it'll be Sanchez David. The last time the Eagles
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys, it was a Sunday night thriller back
Speaker 1: in Week eight. The Cowboys rallied from a ten point
Speaker 1: deficit and won the game in overtime. The Eagles have
Speaker 1: only won two games since that point, so certainly it
Speaker 1: was a turning point for them. Was a similar moment
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys in terms of keeping them on track,
Speaker 1: keeping them on pace to get home field advantage throughout
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think the thing that stands out for
Speaker 1: me from that game is that, you know, we'd already
Speaker 1: seen the Cowboys win some big games. They beat the
Speaker 1: Packers at lambeau Field a couple weeks before that, they
Speaker 1: beat a good Cincinnati team at the time. The thing
Speaker 1: that stands out for me is that was one of
Speaker 1: the worst games of Dak Prescott's season. He had a
Speaker 1: passer rating of seventy nine. I think that's his second
Speaker 1: worst of the season, right up there with his performances
Speaker 1: against the Giants, which were obviously losses, but it was
Speaker 1: probably his worst performance where he still managed to get
Speaker 1: it together and pull together a win. You know, they
Speaker 1: were down by ten in the fourth quarter, he'd been inaccurate,
Speaker 1: he'd thrown an interception, just hadn't looked like, you know,
Speaker 1: the uncharacteristic guy that he had been all this year,
Speaker 1: still managed to piece at thegether and bring them back
Speaker 1: for an overtime win. Obviously, you know that that drive
Speaker 1: in overtime where they didn't give the ball back to
Speaker 1: the Eagles and went down and found Jason Witten in
Speaker 1: the end zone as one of the two or three
Speaker 1: biggest moments of the year. So, like I said, I
Speaker 1: guess it was we already knew the Cowboys were good
Speaker 1: by then, but that was when I think I learned
Speaker 1: that they could play poorly and still managed to come
Speaker 1: out with a win. It was really impressive performance. David A.
Speaker 1: Year ago. At this time, the Eagles and the Cowboys
Speaker 1: both were getting ready for the offseason. Neither team made
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but the Cowboys were in last place in
Speaker 1: the division and all of a sudden, now, you know,
Speaker 1: chance to win fourteen games, potentially they have the number
Speaker 1: one seed in the NFC. Was changing things around as
Speaker 1: simple as drafting Zeke Elliott and Dak Prescott or what
Speaker 1: do you think? It was the biggest key to the
Speaker 1: team's turnaround in just one year, going from worst to first.
Speaker 1: You know, and I don't mean this as any disrespect
Speaker 1: to Ezekiel Elliott, He's been incredible. I fully expect him
Speaker 1: to win Offensive Rookie of the Year or you know,
Speaker 1: at least contend with Dak for one way or the other.
Speaker 1: I think it all comes down play. You go back
Speaker 1: to twenty fourteen, Tony Romo had the year, the best
Speaker 1: season of his career, Cowboys won the division, got into
Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs. He gets hurt last
Speaker 1: year obviously in Week two in a win against Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and everything kind of fell apart because the Cowboys didn't
Speaker 1: have an answer at quarterback. It's not like the running
Speaker 1: game dropped off. Darren McFadden was an eleven hundred yard rusher.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's quite as good as Elliot. I
Speaker 1: think pretty much anybody would agree with that. But they
Speaker 1: were still running the ball successfully. The defense was keeping
Speaker 1: them in games. They lost I believe seven games by
Speaker 1: a touchdown or less. Last year. That was a competitive team.
Speaker 1: I know the record didn't look like it, but they
Speaker 1: weren't getting their doors blown off hardly. I think they
Speaker 1: lost maybe two games by double digit points or more. So.
Speaker 1: What changes you draft a quarterback? Obviously nobody could have
Speaker 1: predicted Dak Prescott would be as amazing as he has been.
Speaker 1: But the difference for this team is just having a
Speaker 1: competent quarterback who can move the offense, keep things ahead
Speaker 1: of the chains, find the open receiver, and open up
Speaker 1: the passing game for the running game. Obviously, Dak's been
Speaker 1: able to do that, and you know, having a competent,
Speaker 1: confident quarterback has made all the difference for this team,
Speaker 1: just like it did two years ago. David Hellman from
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot com thank you for taking us behind
Speaker 1: enemy lines one final time this year, presented by Gatorade.
Speaker 1: Here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Glenn you know, I
Speaker 1: wrote about this the other day. That game in Arlington, Texas,
Speaker 1: Eagles ten point lead fourth quarter, to me, was a
Speaker 1: real pivot point in the season for Philadelphia. Then Eagles
Speaker 1: lose to the Giants and from that point on, second
Speaker 1: half of the season has been very difficult to get victories.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with that point that that loss in
Speaker 1: Dallas was so critical? Yeah, the loss in Dallas was
Speaker 1: terrible because you had the ten point lead, You had
Speaker 1: every opportunity to win that game. That should have won
Speaker 1: that game. You can question some of the coach's decisions,
Speaker 1: some of the plays. Yeah, they should have that one
Speaker 1: to me. And the other big turning point of the
Speaker 1: season was the Ryan Matthews fumble on a game that
Speaker 1: they had iced and you can't have him back. We
Speaker 1: all say, your record is what you are. You are
Speaker 1: what your record is. But yeah, I'd love I'd love
Speaker 1: to takeover. It really is amazing for the Brian for
Speaker 1: the Ryan Matthews fumble, for the ten point loss in Dallas.
Speaker 1: In Arlington, Texas specifically, that's two wins, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a eight eight, eight and seventeen going into the Finally, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, but you can't do that. You can. You
Speaker 1: can do it every year, and you can also do
Speaker 1: it with games that they won. The other team can
Speaker 1: say the same thing. But yeah, in in our fantasy
Speaker 1: world that we'd love to have, want those two back,
Speaker 1: and really the game is about a play here, a
Speaker 1: play there in the NFL. So there you have it.

Speaker 1: it's got a busy day for you on Friday. Let's
Speaker 1: take a look our Emuroso's on the menu segment Howard
Speaker 1: Eskin my co host, We've got an old school all
Speaker 1: twenty two look back at a great Eagles Cowboys moment,
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson meets the media for the final time
Speaker 1: before the final game of the season. Amarroso's the reason
Speaker 1: Philly sandwiches are so famous? Glenn? Instead of asking you
Speaker 1: about the game, what would you like to see happen
Speaker 1: in the off season? Well, I think the Eagles are
Speaker 1: gonna have to retool a couple of units cornerback, wide
Speaker 1: receiver and running back, and they're not going to have
Speaker 1: a ton of money under the cap to do it.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to draft very well, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to sign free agents wisely, and that that's it.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be names that come in that we may
Speaker 1: not know, but they're gonna have to score with. Well.
Speaker 1: The good news is the draft is loaded with running backs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And there are good cornerbacks yeah. And there are some
Speaker 1: very good wide receivers. Yeah. And I think that's your
Speaker 1: first three rounds certainly. Yeah, whatever order you take it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see what we'll talk about as the off season
Speaker 1: goes along here. But let's finish to push for an
Speaker 1: edge rusher. Let's yeah, that's exactly right. Let's finish the
Speaker 1: season strong here. Why not? Yeah, you want the win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've harkened back to how Andy Reid was three and eleven.
Speaker 1: Is first year won the last two second year they
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. That's a good template. That's a good template.
Speaker 1: Glennmac now, Dave Spidero, we thank you for joining us
Speaker 1: here on Eagles three sixty. Have yourselves a great Eagles Day.
