A tough Washington team coming 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.160 off a big win over Jacksonville. A love story lines 0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:59.960 at delve in two where it was some great feet 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.040 for you. On today's show, we're gonna go into some 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.600 old school all twenty two looking back at last year's 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.000 season opener against Washington. We're gonna have Benny Logan as 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.360 part of this week's lays crunch time and also in 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.640 the studio Troy Aikman from NFL Fox. But first bow 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.920 some big storylines we need to catch up on. That's right, 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.600 and that's why we send you to the week that 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.800 was presented by Gatorade. Who will start at inside linebacker 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.360 for the Eagles. How will the Eagles handle their former 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.280 Eagles receiver to Sean Jackson. All that and more right here, 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.960 the whole apart the kick us off, UM, it's done 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.880 at that point today obviously, this second week in a 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.399 row where we had to come back from some university, UM, 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.160 and nobody's front and everybody believes, you know, we just 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.800 got us start strong and and and keep on finishing strong. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.680 We're fortunate to be two and out. We've done a 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.480 great job of coming back in both games. It's the 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.400 Eagles against Washington on Sunday. The NFC East opener for 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:09.880 both teams this week is against the red Skins with 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.840 Cousins in there is very similar to what they do 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.400 with RG three. It's a big offensive line with their 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.160 their athletic they're do a very good job and running 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.720 the Shreds. Playing the backside linebacker has to know the 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.480 ball is gonna come back, don't over run to play 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.640 and so that's the big obviously with me or Casey 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.200 behinds to being that backside linebacker. They have shown man 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.440 to have shown zone. So I'm trying to be prepared 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.560 for everything. We have enough weapons around the Shawan where 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.560 you have to pick your poison, so to speak, in 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.120 terms of who you're going to defend them. So I 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.280 went back to last year and this vertical wheel route 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.280 by Lashawn McCoy against Ryan Carrigan was a great example. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.400 Against this week's opponent, the matchup with the return of 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.880 Deshan Jackson, both sides know each other very well. We 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.280 can't make the game about the Eagles versus DeShawn Jackson. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.959 That we gotta go out from this player game. You know, 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.600 we're we're excited. Also, you know, come back into the rank, 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.919 you know, on a Reds Games uniform.

But then you 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.799 get to get the job Bill, or you get to 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.320 talking done, you know by just best playing sound football 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:18.640 and laying your pass. Dude, the talking feel well, Chris. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.920 It's a big NFC East game, And of course one 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.120 of the guys calling this game on Sunday is a 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.720 former NFC East rival, Troy Aikman.

I was a little kid, I thought 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.159 riding sept it was just the coolest thing. I thought. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.960 I'm on this big piece of metal blazing down these tracks. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.080 There's people ringing bells above me, there's honking going on, 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:22.719 there's trees flying by. It's fantastic. We welcome inside the 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.600 studio here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Hall of Fame 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.400 quarterback and NFL on Fox analyst Troy Aikman. What we're 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.320 doing this done? His game between Philadelphia and Washington, Troy, 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.800 the big story this week is the quarterbacks. You've been 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.080 a chance to see Nick Foles in his breakout season 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.200 of twenty thirteen. What have you seen from him in 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.320 the first couple of weeks of two fourteen. Well, I've 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.240 seen a guy who seems to be pressing a little bit, 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.360 you know, I mean a number of missed opportunities in 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.000 both of these games. You know what's interesting is looking 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:58.360 at Philadelphia offensively, obviously very explosive have scored a lot 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.479 of points, have moved the ball extremely well, and yet 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.520 I don't think they're really operating as well as they're 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.560 capable of. And I don't think I don't think Nick 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.040 has played as well as he's certainly capable of playing. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.520 And that says a lot. Says a lot for an 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.280 offense that's as effective as what they have been already, 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.760 and yet they've left a lot of plays out there 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.000 on the field, So that from that standpoint, I think 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.320 it's encouraging. I think Nick is is he'll settle in 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.360 uh and be just fine. But that's what I've seen 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.120 so far in the early going from him. You were 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.359 thrown into the action immediately as a rookie. This is 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.600 still Nick's third season, right league, still young quarterback. How 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.680 long does it take or quarterback to finally grasp everything. Well, 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.560 I think that you know, now in his third season 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.080 and getting an opportunity to play last year and and 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.440 then having played some as a rookie also that that 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.279 that will help. That helps him, right, but now it 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.279 being his second season within this offense, I mean last 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.080 year to be able to step in and have the 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.200 type of year that he had was quite impressive. He 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.320 protected the football well, he made a lot of big plays. 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.760 I think most people who expected then come into this 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.320 year and pick up right where he left off last year. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.720 That hasn't necessarily happened for him. The offense, as I said, 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.240 is doing well, but he'll continue to get better and 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.840 he'll continue to see more and more things that defenses 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.880 are doing against him, and things will work out fine 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.800 now Troy. On the other sideline, Kirk Cousins takes over 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.320 for Washington. In my estimation, I feel like he's almost 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.720 a better fit for what Jay Gruden wants to do 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.800 with that offense. What have you seen from him in 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.960 the time that he's been able to play well. I 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.320 like Kirk Cousins. I liked him coming out of college. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.400 They're at Michigan State. He's a very bright guy. I'm 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.040 on the College Football Foundation board. He was one of 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.080 our student athletes when he was coming out of college. 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.600 So he can certainly handle the offense, and then it's 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.240 a matter of being able to execute it and make 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.440 good decisions. I thought he did that last week. He 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:54.800 stepped in four RG three and completed his first twelve passes. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.600 I didn't think he was real sharp initially, but as 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.720 the game wore on, he got more and more comfortable. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.600 I think a lot of people forget that their rookie year, 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:07.240 there being his and RG three's rookie season. If not 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.320 for Kirk Cousins playing the way that he did, that 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.520 team wouldn't make the playoffs. So he's been a vital 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.920 part of the success that they had, at least that 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.640 first year. I expect him to play well. Obviously they're 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.720 going to do things differently with him than they would 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.200 do with RG three, But as far as the offense 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.600 is concerned, I don't think it changes. You're still going 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.400 to see the boots. We saw that last week even 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.200 when he got in the game. But he knows that 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.600 he can't rely on his legs the way that RG 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.440 three can, So he has to be good from the 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.280 pocket and he has to make quick decisions, and for 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.160 the most part, he did that last week. You got 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.480 to see Chip Kelly in his first season in the league. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.880 What changes have you noticed from year one to year two? 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.400 You know, not much. What I saw last year was 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.440 a lot of guys running down the field wide open 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.000 and him putting pressure on defense is horizontally and then 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.439 stretching him vertically as well, and that's hard. It's hard 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.520 on a defense when you have to defend all of 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.160 the field, and that's the way that it's been this 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.760 year as well. And then when you add I know, 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:13.200 right now there's a lot of discussion about how much 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.680 the running backs have gotten the ball in the screen game. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.040 You know, of course picking up Darren sprowls and McCoy's 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.480 awesome out of the backfield as well tight ends. You know, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.920 they've gotten zach ERTs more involved. And though that then 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.360 is going to take the place of some of the 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.600 threats that they had in at the wide receiver position 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.320 with the Shan Jackson being gone, I don't really see that. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.840 I still see the threats in the as wide receivers, 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.800 they just haven't hit on those. And then they've gone 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.679 to the screen game and it's worked very well for him. 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.920 But I don't think there's a focus on anything differently 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.440 this year than what there was a year ago. So 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.640 then what is the key do you think to get 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.679 the offense going to make those big plays down the 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.840 field with the receiver. I think it's just a matter 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.920 of completing the passes, you know, I mean, as a 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.840 matter of Nick seeing it and then delivering the ball 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.800 and deliver it accurately, is really what I see. You know, 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:04.520 they'll continue to do the things that they do well 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.400 within the running game, continue to run the screen game, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.960 which which both of those backs are really good at. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:14.480 You've got athletic guys up front. I just I told 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.080 Chip in our meeting today, I said, I would have 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.040 loved to have played in this offense. You know, there's 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.200 a lot happening, but there's a lot of really good 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.680 stuff that puts a great deal of pressure on the defense. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.280 Take me through through that. There was it about the 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.079 offense that you would have loved to have been a 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.720 part because the misconception coming into the league was you'd 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.079 have a mobile quarterback over you know, that wasn't your 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.080 strong dude, your pocket quarterback so I could run better 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.120 than neck, you know. So you know, I don't know, 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:42.720 I say a whole lot of no, I know. But 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.400 but but at the point in that is that I 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.600 think most people thought that Chip had to have a 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.839 mobile quarterback to run his offense. And I think if 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.640 he had one, I mean, then there would be other 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.480 things happening. But he's proven that you don't have to 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.000 have that. Now, what you do need is you need 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.160 a quarterback that can at least run and pick up 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.440 five yards and get on ground as Nick Foles has 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.040 done to make the defense play honest. But I like 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.600 I like the fact that they are they are able 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.760 to pressure a defense within the running game, whether that's 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.520 you know, with with the read option or the threat 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.240 of the read option. But I like the concepts within 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.160 the passing game with the wide receivers and the ability 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.200 to get vertical down the field and and you know, 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.040 two on one fast breaks and there's a there's a 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.959 lot of air out there and guys are running through 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:33.040 those teams, and uh, it would be exciting for me 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.640 because I just think that there's so much happening and 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:40.000 so much opportunity for big plays. Uh that as a quarterback, 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:41.400 you know, what more can you ask for? Do you 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.200 have to be more of a cerebral quarterback? Do you 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.800 think it is office because so many things are happening 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.040 so quickly that you got to make decisions? Well, I 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:54.240 think I think that's I believe that's important in as 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.480 a quarterback in general. You know, regardless of whether you're 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.880 a guy who can run or not run, or you're 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.520 pocket a guy, or you know, whatever it is. I 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.680 just believe that the position, by its very nature is hard. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.120 There's a lot that's expected from the quarterback. Quarterback has 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:10.439 to see a lot of things. He's got to be 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.160 able to check to protections, he's got to get out 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.040 of plays when they're not there. You gotta see blitzes, 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:15.560 and you got to do all that in a short 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.920 period of time. So I believe that if you're not 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.600 you know, a relatively quick study, quick learner, you know, 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.719 have some mental lack. I don't think you're going to 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.720 have much success in this league no matter who you are. Troy, 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.840 last question, the Eagles one of three teams in the 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.680 conference would be two and know to start the season. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.000 Washington got their first win this season, a big one 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.400 over at Jacksonville. What do you see as the biggest 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.800 key to this first n SC showdown? Well, I think 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.320 the key for Philadelphia is going to be you'd like 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.280 to say, get off to a faster start, but they've 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.280 been able to win without doing that. I don't know 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.400 how much that of a key. That is every team 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.000 talks about getting off to fest star, but I do 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.559 think that Washington coming into this game. I like Alfred Morris. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.400 I like Roy Halloo when he comes in as a 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.679 third down back and he can run the ball. I 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.280 believe they'll be a little more reliant on the running 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.360 game with Alfred Morris because of Kirk Cousins coming in 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.080 at quarterback, and they've the Eagles have to be better 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.439 against and stopping the run than they were the other night. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.520 I think that's gonna be a real key for uh, 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.719 for Philadelphia, for for Washington. Uh. You know, they if 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.920 they can play the defense the way that they were 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.400 able to play last week, if they can get pressure 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.400 on Nick Falls and be disruptive, then then that's what 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:28.959 they're going to try to do. But you know, you 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.040 can talk about turnovers and those types of things. Those 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.040 are always important elements to any ball game. But I 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.920 think those are gonna those two things are gonna be 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.080 key in this game.

Welcome 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.920 back to Eagles three sixty Here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com, 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.640 Bowolf and Chris McPherson, and one of the big players 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.760 in this early season for the Eagles has been tight 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.160 end Zach Ertz. But we haven't heard much from Brent 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.800 Selleck and that was not the case last year. Chris 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.760 in Week one when the Eagles took on Washington in 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.360 Chip Kelly's first game, and to break that down in 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.760 a big play from Brent Selleck, we sent it over 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.480 to Dan Cleco for the Old School All twenty two. 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.640 That's the Montgomery's twenty thirty Old for twenty six. He 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:29.240 is firing and it is pretty much what's up Eagles fans, 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.240 Welcome back. I'm Dan Cleco and this is the Old 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.440 School All twenty two, Week three and today We're gonna 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.080 look back at something pretty special, what I think is 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.840 a very start to a very special career, the inaugural 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.960 game of Chip Kelly's career. We're gonna look back at 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.960 the Redskins game from last year. The entire NFL eagerly 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.320 anticipated the debut of Chip Kelly's off fence entering the 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.880 twenty thirteen season, and the team's open a game did 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:56.000 not disappoint. Kicking off with the first half that included 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.480 fifty three plays three hundred twenty two total yards, it's 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:04.520 twenty four points. That's stunned and unprepared Redskins defense. After 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.760 jumping out to a twelve to seventh lead at the 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.359 end of the first quarter, the Eagles got on the 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.160 board again with a long touchdown pass from Michael Vick 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.600 to Brent Sellick, a play that put kelly spread offense 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:20.159 in full score Well here firing and ant spun and 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:26.320 touchdown goes prin Selleck, a plenty eight card touchdown, fast 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:31.400 Thick to Brent Selleck. Brent Sellick shall spitch the linebackers 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.920 gets down the middle of the field. You're worried about 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.879 Riley Cooper on the outside about to Sean Jackson on 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.440 the outside, and there's a huge board in the middle 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.320 of the field, and Prince Sellick chicks to advantage of it. 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:44.639 All right, So what we're gonna look at here is 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.760 really how Chip Kelly's spread offense. It's it's no great formation, 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.200 it's nothing that nobody's ever seen before, but he's look 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:51.520 at how far they are right here. I mean, you 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.400 look at Riley Cooper out here to shun Jackson way 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.639 out here. You're seeing how he's gonna use the whole field. 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.520 And you see what Riley Cooper does here. He fights 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.000 so hard to stay outside to take that safety with him, 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.280 and he's out the whole middle of the field. Brent 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:05.920 Selix sees that, he sees that it's going to be 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.440 covered too, he starts bending away from that safety. So 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.720 as you see as it opens up that weakness in 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.440 that soft spot and that covered two touchdown bad tackling 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.639 by the Redskins, and it's a great start to Chip 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:24.840 Kelly's career. Brent Sellick and the rest of the Eagles 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.760 tenants are gonna think of be a huge factor in 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.640 the passing game. Bow in your estimation, what do the 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.320 Eagles need to do offensively to attack this Washington defense, 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.200 I think they need to take advantage of the Redskins 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.920 cornerbacks because listen, you know you've got Ryan Kerrigan and 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.280 Brian Rackpo on the outside. Those are as good a 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.159 tandem of pass rushers as you're going to get in 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.480 this league. And certainly Jason Peters and presumably Andrew Gardner 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.479 will be tested, as will Nick Foles. But if they 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.280 can find some room down the field to try to 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.280 exploit DeAngelo Hall, who was a gambler by nature of 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.040 the Eagles have beaten him many times in the past. 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.680 And David Amerson, who was still a young guy, former 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.840 teammate of Earl Wolf. Those two guys I think can 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.040 be exposed, as can they saved these Brandon Merriweather making 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:04.240 his first start of the season. I think that is 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.560 the area where the Eagles can really take advantage and 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.359 probably get these receivers going for the first time the season. Certainly, 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.760 I also still expect the tight ends Brent Selik and 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.199 Zach Ertz to attack that mill of the field. The 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.400 Washington front seven very very aggressive. They're going to try 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.240 to get after Nick Foles is going to be very 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.119 important to kind of use it aggressiveness against them and 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.800 open up the middle of the field. You mentioned Merryweather. 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.080 Bow is also Ryan Clark, who's a veteran, but I 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:28.840 think he can be taken advantage of in the middle 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.480 of the field as well. So certainly play of weapons 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.840 outside the key for Washington's They're gonna want to get 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.240 after Nick Foles, get him off his spot, make him 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.800 uncomfortable in the pocket. If Nick Foles can be more 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.679 accurate than he was early on against Indianapolis made some 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.320 great throws late in the game, some clutch throws, but 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.879 if he can make those those early to test that 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.560 Washington defense tom get him off their heels a little bit. 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:51.919 It was solely bode wealth for the Eagles attack, and 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.480 since last year and including these first two games, Washington 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.480 much better against the run than they are against the past. 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:58.359 But I still think the Eagles are gonna want to 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.040 get Lesha McCoy very much involve one Sunday very quiet. 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.159 Lets Shan McCoy has still been very productive in his 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.280 first couple of games, not to the extent we saw 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.360 maybe in twenty thirteen, but he's still among the top 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.720 ten leaders in rushing so far on the year. He 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.119 just hasn't had those Lashawn McCoy type of performances to 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.600 this point. But he did very well against Washington last season, 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.120 so I certainly would expect him. Even though with a 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.600 better defensive line anchored by Jason Hatcher, the former Cowboy 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.359 in that Washington defensive line, I would still expect the 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.040 Eagles to try to get McCoy going, especially early in 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.720 this game. Well, we talked about Kerrigan obviously, and he's 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.080 coming off that monster four sack performance last week against 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.400 the Jacksonville Jaguars. In our Best Buds at Eagles game 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.360 plan breakdown, how the Eagles can try to stop Ryan Kerrigan. 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:46.400 All right, Mike, let's take a look at this much 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:51.080 improved Washington risk and defense lab by defensive coordinator Jim Hasley. 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.879 The star player in his defense, in my opinion, is 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.440 none other than outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan four sacks last 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.680 week versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thing I like about him 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.280 is that he always seems to have great leverage and 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.600 he plays physical and violent with his hands. You watch 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.879
