WEBVTT - Eagles 360: How Did 2013 Team Turn Around? 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.839 Hello everyone, and welcome to Eagles three sixty Eagles insider 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.360 Dave Spiderow with Glenn mac Now on this Tuesday bounce 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.199 back day at an overcare complex. Eagles have turned the 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.920 page are looking ahead to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.920 We of course, will continue to dissect every morsel of 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.839 this one and three football team and finish up our 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:58.680 conversation about the game in Washington. And yes, my thoughts, 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.640 David worried about it, like the Atlanta game, it was 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.040 a game that they really had the opportunity to win. 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.200 They had the ball at the fifty yard line with 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.080 what seven minutes to go to the Eagles. They had 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.240 Washington deep in its own zone with a couple of 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.759 minutes to go. The Eagles had every chance to win 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.600 this thing and they should have. And we've said that 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.760 more than once. And what does it sigling about a 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:22.640 team that does not finish off games? Okay, the playoff teams, 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.800 you know, you look back, I would have loved to 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:26.800 have had that game in October. Yeah, these are the 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.400 games you put away, right, Yeah they are. And there 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.360 the Eagles have really had kind of fortunate scheduling so far. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.960 They played teams with a lot of injuries. They played 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.040 the Listen, Washington is not a high caliber team, Kirk 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.160 Cousins at their quarterback, you had every opportunity to win 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.040 that There will be tougher games down the road against 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.920 much better quarterbacks. And Dave you really hope that you 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.480 don't regret this. The one good side is again and 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.800 I know we say this every week, but it's true. 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.880 The division is so poor. The Cowboys are now more 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.880 banged up. It's still kind ye there, Yeah, no, it's 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.840 very much there. The Eagles have everything to play for 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.400 and they start on Sunday against a Saints team that 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.320 comes off a stirring victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Will 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.440 take our first look at New Orleans and just a 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.960 little bit, but let's get you started on the day 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.000 that was for the Philadelphia Eagles. It's our Eagles three 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.440 sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.320 with your three sixty update. The Eagles are at one 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.120 and three, and while it's not quite the record that 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.320 they had hoped for four games into the season, we're 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.240 able to catch up with some of the veterans inside 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.120 the locker room who are with this team in twenty 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.680 thirteen when the team also started one in three, but 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.560 we're able to turn things around and win the NFC East. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.080 If you go back to the first year we were here, 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.560 we started off one and three and we had a 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.160 couple of games in there where we were really really 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.160 porous at running the ball. So, you know, I think 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.720 this is something that we can get corrected. That we 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.960 will get corrected, and by no means as to say, 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.839 you know, an end of the season type deal, which 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.480 is put us kind of being portrayed out to be. 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.799 But you know, I still think we have a lot 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.320 of room for improvement. We have players, and once we 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.520 get this thing going, we'll have it. Right. Everyone kind 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.760 of just jailed at the same time. Um, Obviously we 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.800 had a new scheme going in and that we never run. UM. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.760 A lot of guys were new UM and there, I mean, 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.920 there are some similarities that we have the same record, 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.480 but we're a very different team as well. Another veteran 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.120 that we caught up with inside the locker room on 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.000 the subject is linebacker Brandon Graham, who is very honest 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.040 about how the team gets sick of talking to the 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.640 media about the losses and how that gives them extra 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.639 motivation to hit the practice field to turn things around. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.720 Everybody asking these same questions. You know, we just got 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.799 tired of it, and then I think that's what we're 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.639 feeling right now. We don't want to We hate to 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.400 come in here after a loss and have to talk 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.480 to the media. Here are these questions. I know it's 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.560 y'all job, but you know, I think that's what give 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.800 us that spark too, because a lot of guys we don't. 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.560 We hate coming in here after a loss because we 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.520 got to hear it outside when I'm going to the 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.480 store stuff like that. I know, we know, trust me, 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.640 we want to get it fixed. It's like everybody else. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.880 And I'm telling you it's I I'm not even gonna 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.080 talk no more. I'm just I'm just working. We just 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.360 we're just going to work and we see y'all. Sunday, 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.800 before today's Eagles practice began, we heard from offensive coordinator 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.680 Pat Shermer, who spoke about how quarterback Sam Bradford is 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.360 getting more comfortable both in the system and with the 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:13.040 weapons around him. I think he's more and more comfortable. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.600 He's becoming more and more comfortable with not only the concepts, 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:21.160 but who's running the concepts. And I think there's been 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.800 times throughout the season, and then there's been times when 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.479 he was off the mark. And I think you saw, 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.840 you know, periods within the game last week where we 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.080 were on the mark and we caught the ball, and 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.320 so I think that's what we're shooting for. But I 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.440 think he's getting more and more comfortable with how we 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.680 run our offense and then the guys he's thrown to. 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.960 To hear all of Shermer's press conference, along with all 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.040 of defensive coordinator Bill Davis's press conference, be sure to 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.800 keep it right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com for 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.520 all the latest Eagles news. Thanks so much, Alex At 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.320 Eagles three sixty and when we return, we're going to 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.719 talk about the New Orleans Saints, big win for them 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.520 on Sunday night. But next up, Glenn and I are 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.680 going to talk about some adjustments that we think the 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.880 Eagles should make, might make, maybe consider, get this team 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:16.960 back on track and wins some football games. Hi, my 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.599 name's Jim Taylor. I've been with back me for thirty 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.320 four years. Our Lancis to brand beef is the best around. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.719 We cut our meat fresh every day and we actually 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.040 have customers come from other stories just for our meat. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.719 Freshness is our number one priority. No one beats our freshness. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.320 We have the precious apple, the Christie's Lettuce fresh produces 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.279 what we do. We do the best cake decorating in 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.679 the area, hands down, one hundred and twenty three years strong. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.280 Come on in. You'll see the changes, you'll feel it, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:06:20.960 you'll love it. Give any more, chips, Bellas. I'm sorry. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:26.040 We were daydreaming about that VIP tailgate and game tickets. Yeah, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:31.800 that pregame sideline experience exactly. Believe in Eagles season tickets. 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.240 You both had the new Instant game from the Pennsylvania Lottery. Yeah, 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.200 the Eagles Instant Game with top prizes of fifty grand 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:44.960 and second chance prizes including season tickets the Pennsylvania Lottery. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:51.880 Bring your dreams to life. Eagles insider Dave Spiderow with 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.960 Glenn mcnow here at Eagles three sixty times to talk adjustments, suggestions. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.839 Put your coaching cap on him. All right, Well, you 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.920 can't reinvent it. You can refine it, and you can 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.200 do what's working well for you. And I think what's 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.240 working well for them is hitting the backs out of 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.120 the backfield. Short passes to the backs is working much 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.160 better than running game. I think they've got to do that, Dave. 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.960 I know, I said a couple of weeks ago, I 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.200 wanted to see kind of some trick plays, and well, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.000 it wouldn't worked great the man he had a whole 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.679 sideline to go to if he had held the ball. 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.320 But I think what they need to do is kind 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.080 of at least disguise more what they're gonna do. I 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.520 heard Seth Joyner this morning talk about how he knows, 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.200 based on how the Eagles line up, how they're going 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.240 to run. I think the coach really has to try 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.400 to get more diversion and one more thing I really 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.760 think would help. Right now, zach Ertz has ten catches 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.360 at the quarter poll, he's on pace for forty receptions. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.560 It's not going to do. You know, the best play 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.000 they had last week was that touchdown pass that got 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.680 called back for the illegal formation YE got against zach 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.680 ERTs more involved, I'll say offensively. I hate to use 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.520 the cliche, and we've heard it from the coaching staff, 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.680 we've heard it from the players. The word is execute. 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.400 You are not going to be able to reinvent this offense. Yes, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.680 you can simplify things, you can refine things. I am 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.240 more a favor if you want to do something a 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.160 little bit crazy, a little bit nutty, spreading the field 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.960 and throwing the football. Working it that way, it seemed 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.120 to be effective for the Eagles in the second half 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:20.679 against the Redskins. I'm maybe considering this as a pass 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.720 first offense if your line is healthy enough to help 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.760 you do it. You know, they lost a lot of guys. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.080 Get the ball out quick, three step drops, get it 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.040 out quickly. Give Sam Bradford some kind of pocket to 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.760 throw from, okay, and then we're holding the ball would 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.520 be nice as well. And what about defensively? All right, defensively, 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:38.640 to me, it's kind of a week to week and 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.320 against Drew Brees, the best thing you can do. He 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.800 is really smart. Drew Brees is throwing four under touchdown 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.360 passes for a reason, and he can read your defense. 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.360 But Drew Brees is five ft eleven this week. What 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.440 you really have to do is get the pressure up 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.559 the middle. So really, if I'm Billy Davis, I'm kind 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.880 of stacking the whole thing to come right up the 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.400 middle on Drew brees. They can't run the ball very well, 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.520 and he's and his arm is kind of her his 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.720 shoulders hurting. So that's my planis to just pressure us. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.120 I think it's a really interesting challenge for the defense. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.320 I believe that the Saints are going to throw the 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.160 football short intermediate. A lot of the running backs tight 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.280 end here and there, throw not much down the field 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.360 of Marcus Colston. So how will the Eagles cover. We've 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.599 heard all summer about up at the line of scrimmage, 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.959 in your face, pressure man press combinations in the secondary, 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.720 and yet we really haven't seen a lot of that. 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.640 We saw Washington absolutely destroy this defense. Cross routes, the 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.400 shallow crosses, the screens, stuff in the flats. I expect 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.360 that from New Orleans this week. And I think it 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.000 might be time for Bill Davis to be really, really aggressive. Now. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.800 He blitzed on the final play the touchdown passed to 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.880 Pierre our Song and Kirk Cousins executed, but it took 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.959 a perfect pass to do so it might be time 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.360 to unleash a little bit more. Okay, Eagles have to 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.280 get more of a pass rush. Well, I understand the 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.760 concept to keep your hands up, yeah, which is great, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.600 but Eagles need a little bit more in the kicka 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.079 and yes they do, and stunt and again stunt up 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.880 the middle because that's the best place if you're going 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.000 to stop your reason. He's a Hall of Famer, but 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.080 you gotta get in his face up the middle. And 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.880 let's make sure everybody is clear about this. This is 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:19.360 absolute gibberish. I was just envisioning coaches actually watching this segment. Yeah, 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.920 and how Billy Davis has taken notes right now. We're 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.960 just trying to find solutions just like everyone else. We 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.079 want the Eagles to get back on track and get 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.920 a big win on Sunday against those New Orleans Saints. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.679 Speaking of the Saints, we take our first look at 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.000 New Orleans, a one in three football team coming to 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.680 down on Sunday. How do they look? We're gonna find 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:44.360 out when Eagles three to sixty comes back. With extra 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.679 twenty checking from sant ANDERI you can get paid twenty 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.719 dollars a month just direct deposit fifteen hundred dollars or 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.120 more and paid two bills a month with the online 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.960 bill pay feature. Then you can get paid twenty dollars 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.400 a month. That's just the way it works, So what 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:02.280 are you waiting for? Hundred thirty yards? Now? Bill's got 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.120 a very tough lie here. Looks like we have some 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.680 sort of sea monster in the water hazard here. I 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.839 believe that's a cracking Bruce. It looks like he's gonna 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.280 go with the nine hore. That may not be enough club.

Eagles insider Dave Spidero Glen mcnow 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.880 with me here, and before we get into the Saints, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.560 let's take a look at the Eagles upcoming schedule. It 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.320 is not an easy one for the Eagles. The upcoming 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.079 schedule presented by NFL Ticket Exchange power by Ticketmaster, or 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.760 the only one hundred percent verified way to buy or 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:59.400 sell NFL tickets visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Well, Glenn, 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.600 it's the same. And then as the Giants both at 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.280 Lincoln Financial Field, a chance, a chance to start the 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.320 second quarter off the season really the right way? Well, yeah, 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.720 you're one game behind in the division. Shockingly, at one 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.920 in three, the Saints are one in three. Also, you know, 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.040 I watched the Saints be Dallas the other night. They 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.000 look pretty good, but the Saints are not off to 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.760 a good start. They're beatable, and a lot of it 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.800 is Drew Brees is not he and potentially the Giants 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:29.040 the best team in the division. And then at Carolina undefeated. 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.679 Tough game, but let's focus on the New Orleans Saints. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.560 On Sunday, Drew Breese comes marching to town and we 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.920 begin at the quarterback position, Breeze and Sam Bradford. Bradford 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.720 finally getting that passing game on track down the field. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.640 On Sunday, Drew Brees finally getting back on the field 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.240 and leading New Orleans to the victory. Look, we've seen 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:51.720 Drew Brees many times. Smart, accurate, good timing, doesn't make 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.160 a lot of mistakes. But he has slowed down in 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.280 his career. He is not the same Drew Brees we 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.640 saw win a Super Bowl a few years ago. He's 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.840 slowed down, and I gotta tell you he's much more 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.760 prone to turnovers than he used to be. I think 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.080 he had seventeen or nineteen last year. He's thrown a 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.280 couple of this year. Drew Brees does that more, and 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.880 probably because the rotator cough, he's lost some zip on 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.920 the ball, so he's not gonna beat you on that 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.360 deep out pattern. But the Eagles don't anticipate a lot 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.360 of fun in games with the defensive coverages because Drew 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.040 Brees knows what you're doing. It's going to come down 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.960 to basic, fundamental good technique. When you have an opportunity 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.840 to pick off the football, you do. So Eagles need 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.120 to take advantage of some of those flutterballs that might 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.120 come out of Drew Brees's hands at the running back position. Really, 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.480 it's a battle of two teams with three headed monsters. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.960 We know DeMarco Murray who had the big run on Sunday, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.080 and not much more. We know Ryan Matthews didn't get 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:43.880 a lot of touches on Sunday after the big game 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.560 against the Jets, and then Darren Sproles has done a 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.560 little bit of everything for this football team. With New Orleans. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.840 It's mark Ingram, it's Kerry Robinson, it's c J. Spiller 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.080 who had the big catching run against Dallas. It's a 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.880 kind of an interesting combination of what the Eagles do 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.440 and what the Saints do. A good backfield for both teams. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.840 A good backfield. All those Saints, like Eagles, haven't run 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.640 the ball. They're averaging just three point four yards a run, 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.760 which is just about worse than the league. Of course, 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.520 the Eagles no better. Right now, Spiller's the big play guy. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.560 He was injured, he's back. You're right. He made that 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.840 big play to beat Dallas last week. He's a very 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.920 dangerous guy out of the backfield. Ingram is better on 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.920 catching passes than he is on running the ball, and 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.440 I think that's what Breeze wants to do. They don't 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.760 have much of a running game like the Eagles. They 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.520 throw effectively to their back and that hurt the Eagles 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.720 against Washington. That quick release, the quick throw into the flat, 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:36.040 the shallow crosses. Linebackers, safety's huge assignment on Sunday. Now, 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.520 a wide receiver for the Eagles, Jordan Matthews leads the way, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.520 but there have been some drops this season through the 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.840 first quarter of the season that really has plagued the 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.720 Eagles wide receivers, a group that Chip Kelly lauded entering 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.920 the season depth talent, size, good group, deep group, over 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.880 the boards, depth wear down. The defense really hasn't happened. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.440 Although for the Eagles on Sunday, good to see Riley 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.680 Cooper go for the top, good to see Miles Austin 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.840 go for the top right and Nelson Aguilar get involved 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.040 on a deep play, and that's really what they gotta do. 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.640 It was shocking how well they threw the deep ball 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.200 last week after not being to do it all year. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.080 And I've said this every week. I want to see 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.400 agwall are much more involved, and maybe that's going to happen. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.320 And for the Saints, Marcus Colston still the big threat, 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.360 big body, not real fast before. He's had a great 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.320 NFL career. He's had a great career. They keep thinking 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.600 Brandon Cooks is gonna be their guy. He was the 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.560 rookie last year. He's averaging just ten pointy eight yards 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.720 a catch. They've also got Willie Sneety's a possession receiver. 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.880 The Saints, other than their running backs, really don't have 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.800 that deep threat that's going to kill you. They're more 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.640 about short possession than they used to. And defensively, the 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.400 staff that really jumps out at you with two teams 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.880 whore statistically pretty even. The Saints without an interception in 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.480 four games and that's kind of shocking. Now they've had 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.600 some players injured. Jerryus Bird back on the field. Keenan Lewis, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.600 they're really good cornerback who back in twenty and thirteen 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.880 shutdown to Seawan Jackson in the playoff win. He is 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.400 back in the lineup. So the Saints a lot healthier 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.080 than they were in September. Glenn, And you know, they 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:09.760 played a good game against the Cowboys. They played a 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.000 good game against the Cowboys. The Cowboys are missing a 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.320 lot of guys. You can run on the Saints now. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.800 And I think we said this probably last week against Washington, 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.160 but the Saints are given up four point three yards 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.960 it carry. It's more than a full yard than the 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.920 Eagles are giving up. We talked how much about the 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.800 passing game and how that might be the future, but 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.640 I really believe this is a week you can run 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.520 on the Saints. And boy, wouldn't it be nice to 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.720 see the Eagles get that. To see DeMarco Murray get unleashed. Yeah, 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.320 early and often would be a great theme for the 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.720 Eagles fans who will be in South Philadelphia on Sunday. 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.439 So that's our first look at the New Orleans Saints. 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.439 When we return to Eagles three sixty, we're taking a 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.639 little trip down Fantasy Lane is our fantasy spin, and 0:17:49.680 --> 0:18:00.679 that's coming up next.

Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith, 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.119 and welcome to another edition of Fantasy Spin, presented by 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.480 Bud Light. I am joined as always by Joe Dolan, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.680 the managing editor over at Fantasy Guru dot com. Joe. 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:49.800 Last week, the Eagles really opened things up in the 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.200 passing game against Washington, showing off that vertical threat. How 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.639 does that affect things in your fantasy lineup this week? Well, 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.399 I'm starting to consider Sam Bradford again, Alex. To be 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.560 quite honest with you, Sam Bradford said after the game 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.040 against Washington that it was just kind of a look. 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:07.960 It was a good matchup for them to attack down 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.800 the field and lo and behold they did it. So 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:12.960 far this year, the Eagles have had the misfortune of 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.880 facing some pretty darn good defenses, either defenses that are 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.800 better than people expected or defenses that people knew were 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:20.920 going to be good. I don't think that's the case 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.119 this week. The Saints are going to have a lot 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.359 of problems defensively this year. They've already had them. I 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.359 think the Eagles can get the run game going a 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.240 little bit better than they have and that will of 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.600 course open up things down the field. I think Sam Bradford, 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.600 with four teams on by this week, is going to 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.120 be a guy who's going to be in consideration for lineups, 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.240 and frankly, I don't think Sam Bradford was the main 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.160 reason the Eagles dropped the game against Washington last week. 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:49.400 His level of play is getting incrementally better. I would 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.640 expect to see Sam Bradford have a nice game at 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.680 home against the Saints and Joe fear surprise start this week. 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:56.360 You're going with a guy who's a little bit under 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.200 the radar, but we saw him have a very nice 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.200 game against the Eagles on Sunday. Yeah, it's Chris Thompson, 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.879 the running back from Washington. Now, I I've been pushing 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.199 Matt Jones on this program on this segment, and for 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.240 the most part, I'm still pretty happy about that. But 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.840 Matt Jones took a back seat against the Eagles last 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.320 week because the Eagles and one of the best run 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.280 defenses in the NFL. Instead, Washington deployed Chris Thompson, who's 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:22.240 kind of their third down scatback. Receiving option. I think 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:23.919 he's got a shot to have a nice game this 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.560 week against Atlanta alex As you know, Darren Sproles and 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:31.880 DeMarco Murray had big games as receivers against the Atlanta Falcons. 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.160 They gave up a lot of catches to Shane Vereen 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.000
