WEBVTT - Eagles 360: September 26 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.200 The Eagles perfect summer has come to a close as 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:06.080 they opened the full portion of their schedule. Some excited 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:08.960 Eagles fans have dubbed this side of our state went 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:13.360 in Sylvania by those plants. Is looking. He fires complete 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:18.520 touchdown Jordan Matthew. That's on point ballas futted. The kickers 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.320 blocked it, clucked and it rolls under the end zone. 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.960 Wentz takes the snap. He's back, he's looking. He gets 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.760 out of Harm's plays pumping. He is floating it and 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.440 it is completely at the fifty for forty five, he's 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.959 on his feet at the thirty. The twenty, cuts back 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.080 at the ten, the five, he is in. Terrence roll, 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:42.000 Terrence rolls, Ronthless Purger again looks he is head and 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.199 footballers fumbled the Eagles haven't and his worth covered by 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:50.919 Brandon Graham. Brandon Graham's on the football. Brandon Graham has 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.640 been outstanding in the first two games of this season 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.600 and once again causing a lot of problems for this 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.480 offensive line. It's so sweet when you walk off the 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.920 field when you gave everything you got. Great job, team 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:33.800 win tonight, family, little three. What we cannot do it justice, 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.640 but we're going to try hello everyone, and welcome the Eagles. 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.640 Three sixty. Eagles insider Dave Spanaro, along with the Hall 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.840 of Famer Brian Westbrook gets the day after the Eagles 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.520 whip up on the Pittsburgh Steelers thirty four to three. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.520 And where do you begin, Brian? I mean, it's been 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.480 three games of just glowing about this football team, and 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.440 it's at heights we haven't seen in a long long time. Yeah, 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.280 But you know, sometimes you win games, and sometimes you 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.320 win games that you know you win by a narrow margin. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.360 Sometimes you win games that you're not supposed to win. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.880 But then just like yesterday, sometimes you just dominate people. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.200 Sometimes you hold a team that has a good running 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.760 attack to twenty nine yards rushing. That's domination. Sometimes you 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:14.240 score twenty one points unanswered, that's domination. Yesterday, the Eagles 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.839 dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's what you want to see 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.120 in a young football team and against and the Pittsburgh 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.120 teams are a good football team. They're a team that 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.000 many people said will be the representative for the AFC 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.280 in the Super Bowl. This Eagles football team dominated them 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.560 yesterday on their home field. It's so sweet. And now 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.639 it's the bye week. Can we take a look at 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.880 the NFC East standings and what do we see the 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.280 Philadelphia Eagles all alone at three and old. A week 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.160 to rest, a week to calm down, to kind of 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.600 bask in that victory, and then get back to work 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.040 and get ready for the Detroit Lions. Brian, you've been 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.280 on teams that started three and oh two thousand and four. 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:51.800 What is the feeling in the locker room to the 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.240 team believe that it's a playoff bound team. Well, I 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.320 think this team does believe that. And I think when 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.480 you talk about teams winning, it's about building that offendense. 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.480 It's about making sure that the ball continues to roll downhill, 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.080 and I think this team was doing a pretty good 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.840 job of handling it the right way. Doug Peterson a 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.120 young coach. He's been around the NFL, he's been around 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.200 teams to have one early in the season, and he 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.120 also understands they have thirteen games left to play, and 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.880 so he's not going to allow these guys to get 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.200 the big headed mentality. He's going to make sure that 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.280 these guys continue to stay focused on their keys, the 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.440 small things that got them to being three and though 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.360 they have to continue to do those things, and I 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.280 think Doug Peterson is the right coach tould be able 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.160 to do that. Speaking of Doug Peterson, he met the 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:36.280 media on this Monday and updated the Eagles situation as 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.760 the players leave town and get some rest and relaxation 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.800 during this bye week. We've got you updated here our 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.640 Eagles three sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi. Everyone, I'm 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.920 Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update. The 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.520 Eagles are coming off of a dominating thirty four to 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.600 three win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday as they 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.840 head into the bye week. But before they go, we 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.480 heard from head coach Doug Peterson today and he was 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.600 asked about how he expects this team to handle being 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.160 in more of the national spotlight after Sunday's dominating win. 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.000 You know, we just have to approach it the same, 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.160 one day at a time. You know, it's the way 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.480 this business goes. I mean, you're you're you're on top 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:17.960 of the world one minute and you could be at 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.840 the bottom of the heap the next, and you just 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.200 got to keep things even keeled and can't get too high. 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.880 I can't get too low and approach approach it the same. Again, 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.479 like I mentioned earlier, you can't substitute for hard work, 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.560 and that pays off on Sundays. So you know, we 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.240 just have to stay the course and again, long long, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.680 a lot of football left. One of the biggest surprises 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.280 in Sunday's game for the Eagles was the performance a 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.200 rookie fifth round pick Wendell Smallwood, who played very nicely 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.279 after Ryan Matthews left the game dealing with ankle stiffness. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.160 Coach Peterson today talked about what he's seen both on 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.960 the practice field and on the game field from Smallwood 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.520 to this point. I just think he's another one. He's 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.039 much like Parson and how he prepares during the week. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:06.080 And you know, uh, you know, we've been we've been 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.760 fortunate with our with our young players, even Jalen Mills. 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.560 I mean, we've been we've been fortunate with these guys 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.160 and how they work and how they handle themselves on 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.840 and off the football field. And you know, he's done 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.680 a great job in practice and he's put himself in 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.760 a position to help us, and and uh, it was 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.560 great to see him. You know, we we saw it 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.240 early in the spring. We saw it a little bit 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.159 in training camp before the injury, and it's it's it's 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.600 good to have that kind of depth at that position 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.960 with as many touches collectively as a group they're going 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.680 to get each game and the wear and tear on 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.000 that position, it's it's great to get that many guys 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.520 in the game. And now the Eagles have a chance 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.960 to rest, recharge, and refocus as they head into their 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.400 bye week before heading out to Detroit in the following week. Today, 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.719 Coach Peterson shared his bye week message for his players. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.080 The messages just get away, get away from football, kind 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.080 of free your mind a little bit. It's been a 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.880 long hard training a number one right into the regular season. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:08.520 They've had three physical football games already. Get healthy, rejuvenate, 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.960 rest and and come back ready to go because you know, 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.160 we got thirteen straight weeks and it's one at a time. 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.160 And um, but at the same time, you know they 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.479 need to take time to be with their families, coaches 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.640 the same way, and um, you know, make this make 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:28.000 this push.

Welcome back, everyone, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.760 Dave Spinnaro, Brian Westbrook, It's Eagles three sixty here on 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.840 Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Time to talk about the Eagles 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.080 offense in the thirty four to three win against Pittsburgh. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.280 B West. What'd you see? Well, we saw a quarterback 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.120 that again played Era three air free football. Not a 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.959 rookie quarterback, not a rookieu just we just have to 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.640 say quarterback. Now, we can't even say rookie quarterback. We 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.040 have to say a quarterback. He continues to play air 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:14.160 free football. We saw again Doug Peterson completely discombobulating the deepense. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.360 At this point, you don't know what Doug Peterson is 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.240 going to come out to and what he's gonna do. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.280 In that first fifteen he just does a lot of 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.679 different things. It's not the no huddle, if it's not 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.880 the empty backfields, I'm gonna run the football down your throat. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.079 He continues to do things that people just are not expecting, 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.240 and then you're adding your quarterback seventy four percent completion percentage. 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.880 You love to see that he's accurate. He continues to 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.200 get the ball in the right place world receivers. I 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.560 love what Carson Wentz is doing. Fryan. The Eagles have 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.600 really gotten a screen game going. And we saw it 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.800 when you played, and you were the best at running 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.800 the screen. What makes it work? Why is this a 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.400 good offense to run the screen? Well, one of the 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.200 things that Doug is doing, and he's doing a great 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.319 job of this, is making sure that now every time 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.120 the Dennis Roses in the game, teams are yelling screen, screen, screen, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:00.800 they think it's going to be the screen, same type 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.320 of thing where Barner are small with those types of things. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.199 But now what Doug is doing, what's his key is 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.319 that he's faking the screen one way and then he's 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.760 throwing the ball on this another screen on the other side. 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.760 He's putting two or three guys out in front of 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.880 his running back or tight ends we're seeing with that 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.800 are kissing these screens. These guys have every talk about 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.280 seven hundred pounds of body mask in front of them 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.280 being able to run the ball down the field. That's 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.360 why the screen game is so successful, you know. That's 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.760 what's interesting. It's the screen game to the backs. We 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.000 saw the screen for a touchdown to Trey Burton in Chicago. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.480 We've seen Josh huff ketch screen because I mean, they're 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.200 really involving all of their personnel and that extends to 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.760 the running game. On Sundayed, Eagles, with Ryan Matthews nursing 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.320 a high ankle spring, they turned to Kenyon Barner and 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.559 the rookie when Dell Smallwood. They combined for one hundred 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.600 and twenty one rushing yards two touchdowns on the ground. 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.280 They add some juice to this Eagles off and some quickness, 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.040 some elusiveness, and they've really stepped up and shown that 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.680 they can be contributors in the NFL. What makes a 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.840 good running back is first, you have to have patience 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.440 to be able to get to the hole, get to 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.400 the right place at the right time. You have to 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.880 have speed and quickness, and you have to have explosion 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.640 and to talk about Smallwood and Varner, two of the 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.480 most explosive guys on this football team. They continue to 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.720 show great patients finding those holes and picking those holes, 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.679 and then they're able to slide, and then they're able 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.800 to make guys miss on the second level. Was that 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.760 takes the running back to the next level. If you 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.000 can make guys on the second and third level miss, 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.200 you're taking a game of four or five yards up 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.360 to a ten yard game. And these guys have done 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.000 a great job that. I love the way that they're 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.480 running the football. We are going to talk about this later. 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:37.120 The offensive line though through three games outstanding play. It's 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.280 going to be impacted potentially with the loss of Lane Johnson, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.480 but we'll talk about that a little later in the show, 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:47.360 as well as some breakthrough performers from Sunday and look Ahead. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.360 But next up here on Eagles three sixty, it's about 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.079 the defense and the special teams, and oh boy, did 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.400 the Eagles hand it to the Steelers again, a third 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.640 straight dominating defensive performance by the philadel a few Eagles. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.079 This portion of Eagles three sixty was presented by Apple Vacations, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.040 joined Philadelphia Eagles players and alumni on Apple Vacations beach 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.720 Blitz in Mexico in twenty seventeen.

It's 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.920 Eagles three sixty, our only show of this bye week 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.840 for the Philadelphia Eagles, will be back next Tuesday here 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.680 on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. In this segment, we're talking 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.880 about special teams and defense. Let's gives some credit to 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.760 the special team's first. Benny Logan gets the big paw 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.280 up in the air and blocks the field goal to 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.800 stimy the Steelers on their first offensive drive, and it 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.560 really kind of sets the tone. Listen, if you want 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.880 to stop a team's momentum, they've driven the field a 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.360 little bit. On our defense, if you want to stop 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.400 their momentum, you've blocked the field goal. And that's what 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.720 Benny Logan did. It's a great job of just slowing 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.320 things down. That makes that offense start to wonder a 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.640 little bit. Maybe field goals with not being an option, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.160 maybe we have to score touchdowns. That means J Todd 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.640 Haley has to take more chances offensively. It kind of 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.840 plays right into the gym sports his hands. I love 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.480 to see a very active field goal block team for 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.840 our defense. That's what you need to see. Those small 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.720 plays make a big, big difference in games like this. Indeed, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.440 it's the first block for the Eagles of a field 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:56.280 goal since the opener against Jacksonville two and fourteen, and 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.360 it's set up the Eagles to dominate the rest of 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.560 the day defensively. Brian, where's this coming from? I mean, 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.440 we knew the Eagles had a good front. We had 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.400 questions about the linebackers, we had questions about the cornerbacks. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.960 Rodney mcclouds comes in at safety clearly has made a 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.440 huge difference back there. Well, I think it starts at 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.640 the top Jim Sports, and I've said before it I 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.480 think he's the MVP of this team. And you can 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.680 argued Carson Wentz, you can argue Doug Peterson, but I 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.600 think Jim Sports is right up there with the rest 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.920 of him. He's brought a mindset, He's brought a thought process, 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:29.120 a nasty, aggressive, punishing mindset to this defense. They continue 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.120 to put guys out of the game, But that's what 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.280 you want to see. You expect that from guys like 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.200 Fletcher Cox. Did you expect it from Brandon Graham. He's 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.560 having the best season of his career. He continues to 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.160 go out there and do things that I just didn't 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.480 see before I said this, and I really believe it. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.240 The Eagles defensive line is so good that Fletcher Cox 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.560 is the second best player on the d line because 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.520 Brandon Graham. He's playing time. I was on the field 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.720 watching that play of the first play of the game, 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.600 and he got chipped by D'Angelo Williams and got his 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.600 clock clean and just came back for more, played more 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.600 physical football, was quick off the ball, got into the backfield, 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.920 played the run grade. Brandy Graham's playing at a pro 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.440 Bowl level through three games, and we see what a 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.160 difference off the edge makes for the guys in the middle. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.000 Because Fletcher and Benny are also playing really well well. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.240 Benny Logan continues to get that pushed right into the 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.040 quarterback space. You have to double team Fletcher Cots at 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.560 all time. It's guys that are still playing very good. 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.240 Like Benny Carey. He doesn't give me get his name called, 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.560 but he continues to push the pocket. Colonel Barring haven't 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.440 heard his name very much. He could tinues to make 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.360 plays as well. That's how good this defensive line is playing. 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.760 But a true mark of how good a defensive line 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.760 is playing is does your defensive coordinator needs to blitz? 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.880 Does he need to add guys to it? And Jim 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.880 Sworth just doesn't they be Ben Roethlisberger yesterday was under siege. 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.000 He couldn't get his feet set. He was a little 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.200 jittery in the pocket, and that doesn't happen to Big 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.400 Ben very often. But that's due to the fact that 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.000 this defensive line continues to get pressure. I love the 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:53.480 way that they're playing. And on the back end, the 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.920 Eagles all over the football on Sunday, big interception in 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.520 the end zone from Rodney McCloud. I think Becom Jenkins 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.520 had three or four pass breakups, great tackles. We've seen 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.879 the rookie Jalen Mills really step up his game. And 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.920 although Antonio Brown had his big game, ye all kind 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.840 of nonsense fantasy football name. Antonio Brown is the best 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.920 receiver in the game. And there were some throws that 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.200 Ben Roethlisberger through to him that no quarterback in the 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.760 in the in the NFL has confidence enough to throw 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.280 to the receiver I'm talking about. He's throwing ball to him. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.080 Antonio Brown isn't even looking. No one's thinking that he's 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.520 going to catch the football. No one's thinking that Ben Roethlisberger, 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.200 he's even gonna throw that ball. These are some amazing throws. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.640 It goes to one of the best receivers in the game. 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.680 And so I think Jalen Mills had a pretty good 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.760 game considering who he was facing. So the Eagles inside 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.320 the thirty, when they're on defense inside their own thirty 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.480 yard line, they are holding quarterbacks to a passer rating 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:50.640 of eight point two with one interception, two sacks, four 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.000 or thirteen completion sixteen yards. That is a formula for 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.679 winning games, Dave. This Steelers team, I don't think people understand. 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.160 This Steeler team was scoring thirty one points a game. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.600 They were literally going thirty one points a game, fourth 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.440 best in the NFL. They were held to three point 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.040 three points. That's how good this defense is. Yeah, so 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.880 they get a break. Now they get Leodis Mcalvin back 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.879 healthy for the Detroit Lions. Another piece for Jim Schwartz 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.680 to use. They come back fresh. Great great, great, great 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.919 start for an Eagles defense. And speaking of performances, when 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.000 we return to Eagles three sixty, we're gonna talk about 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.359 some of the breakthrough performances from the first three games 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.160 of this season, and then we'll take a look ahead 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.080 and make some predictions on who comes up Big four 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:40.600 the Eagles starting in Detroit in two weeks. Remarkable things 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.600 are happening at your local ACME. We're making changes and 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:48.919 we're getting better every day, Cleaner, friendlier, pressure like fresher 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.400 meat and seafood at pressure produce, and hundreds of organics. 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.800 To top it off, we're luring thousands of prices throughout 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.280 the store. So come on in and see for yourself 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.639 why acmee is just better, lower prices, great quality, and 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:07.360 friendlier service. ACME the official supermarket of the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.600 I slept to Philly. I sept the Philly the bus, 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:16.440 the trolley, the train, Jefferson Station, Airport line, sixty nine Street, 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:21.480 broad Street to the game, Payol, the Sheron Hill, Chestnut 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.320 Hill Regional Rail. I sept to Philly the Broad Street line. 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.440 On game days, I Lovedega, to the movies, to my 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:39.399 Parkway Spring Garden, late night, West Philly, South Philly. All right, Phillis, 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.440 let's go out there and give him pack. Heck, let's 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:42.960 go out there and give them the one to tell 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.119 Captain were out there, we're gonna really give them the business. 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.280 Oh my god, let's sock it to him. Yeah, fair 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:59.600 and square, all right, Holy smokes. The old game just 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:03.040 can't compete, especially when it comes to innovative energy solutions 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.960 like the ones NRG uses to power the Eagles. Visit 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:13.520 pick NRG dot com today, Welcome back at the Eagles 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.280 three sixty Dave Spidero, Brian Westbrook and the Eagles have 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.000 shocked the NFL world with a three and old record 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.320 in September. Who has stood out in terms of a 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.000 breakthrough performance in this undefeated start? Brian, I'll let you 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.159 go first. Well, we've talked about the defensive line and 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.280 the guy that kind of has outshine Fletcher Cock, which 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.800 is very hard to do because Fletchercox is a dominant 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.520 force inside is Brandon Graham. He's averaging one sack of game, 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.600 but the way that he's doing is pretty pretty pretty unique. 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.480 He's running through offensive tackles, he's running around offensive tackles, 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.600 he's making plays in the run game. He's dominating this 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.560 football front in a way that I haven't seen him 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.119 play brought his entire career. We talked about the three 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:54.880 four it does he fit it? Does he not fit. 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.120 He definitely fits the four three defensive end position. He's 0:20:58.160 --> 0:20:59.879 doing a great job for this football team. On the 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:04.000 other side of the football, how about the Eagles offensive playmakers. 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:06.920 In the summer, we all wondered where would the Eagles 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:09.360 get their big plays from. Would they have enough playmakers 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.600 to score points? How about those wide receivers. Now, they 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.280 haven't been all pro level, but certainly Jordan Matthews has 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.160 been extremely productive. Nelson Aglore has stepped up and has 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.960 looked as explosive as the Eagles hoped he would be 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.280 coming out of UCLA. And then Dorio Greenbeckham has come 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:28.399 in and fit a role. Had a chance to make 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:30.639 a touchdown catch on Sunday, couldn't hold it as he 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.960 went into the end zone. But you're seeing the Eagles 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:37.320 wide receiving corps give Carson Wentz some windows through which 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.440 to throw, and I think that's really important, creating a 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.960 bit of separation, playing very productive football at the wide 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.919 receiver position, and even Josh Huff catching the short passes, 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.400 the shallow crosses, catch and run opportunities. Coaching staff really 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.720 using these players. Well, what I love about our receiving corps. 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.280 You talk about Dgping. You're also talking with Jordan Matthews 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.320 Agulare too. They're big bodies, these guys, even if they 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.240 don't get as much separation as you would like, because 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.879 they're big bodies, they can shield the defender all and 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:06.440
