Speaker 1: Welcome everyone as Eagles three to sixty on this Tuesday
Speaker 1: at an Overcare complex. I'm Dave Fanero, Eagles insider, along
Speaker 1: with Glenn mac now in our beautiful Extinity studio in
Speaker 1: the Eagles Well getting ready for the Miami Dolphins on
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. We've got a lot to get you today. Glenn. First,
Speaker 1: I want to get your feelings on the Eagles at
Speaker 1: the midway point four after it's all been sending an
Speaker 1: oh and two start one in three people wondering what
Speaker 1: the heck's going on here? Question? There's a lot of questions,
Speaker 1: but I do think they have recovered nicely. You know,
Speaker 1: have they lost that game, they could have fallen into
Speaker 1: the Abyss and would have been a game and a
Speaker 1: half behind the Giants. Now you are four and four,
Speaker 1: as you say, the next three games you have against
Speaker 1: teams that are combined seven and seventeen, so you really
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to win something, to do something, to
Speaker 1: grab the division. And Dave, as we know, we have
Speaker 1: seen teams win the Super Bowl with a nine and
Speaker 1: seven record, You win the division, you can do anything.
Speaker 1: And how about Sam Bradford? Have you has the worm
Speaker 1: turned on Sam? Bradford, it remains to be seen. I
Speaker 1: think he had a terrific game. It should be really
Speaker 1: pleased with that. The pace of the offense was so great.
Speaker 1: But I think that going only two or three more
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford performances like that before I can fully invest
Speaker 1: in that busy day here at the Novicare Complex. As
Speaker 1: you know, Jordan Hicks on Monday placed on the injured reserve,
Speaker 1: that is season ending injured reserve. The Eagles welcoming back
Speaker 1: and Manuel Ajo for all of your inside linebacker needs.
Speaker 1: He's healthy now and he knows the system and so
Speaker 1: he's an emergency player. Time now for Dammiko Ryan's to
Speaker 1: get healthy, for Keiko Alonso to get healthy, from Michael
Speaker 1: Kendricks to knock off some of that rust. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you fortunately, you know when they went into the season,
Speaker 1: we said they have all these inside linebackers. What does
Speaker 1: he need all these inside linebackers. Well, it's coming to
Speaker 1: roost for him and it's coming to pay off a
Speaker 1: little bit. This is why coaches don't like to predict.
Speaker 1: We like to predict. He certainly likes to predict. But
Speaker 1: now midway through the season, the offense may be in
Speaker 1: better shape than the defense and who would have thought
Speaker 1: that a couple of weeks ago. Let's get you caught
Speaker 1: up with everything that is going on with his Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles team. Alex Smith our Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update.
Speaker 1: The rain moved the Eagles practice inside the bubble today
Speaker 1: here at the Novicare Complex. Today we heard from offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator Pat Schermer and wide receiver Jordan Matthews on Matthew's
Speaker 1: big bounce back game against Dallas and how it paid
Speaker 1: off after a long week of work. It's a long
Speaker 1: season and you've heard me talk about how Bradfords get
Speaker 1: better and guys fight through things and they're doing you know,
Speaker 1: I was impressed with with Jordan's comments. He said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I was just doing my job, you know, And that's
Speaker 1: really his mentality. Jordan's a guy that works at things,
Speaker 1: and if he drops a ball or two, he's gonna
Speaker 1: come out here and train and get better. And he's
Speaker 1: got that mentality and he trained great last week. He
Speaker 1: knows that if something doesn't go his way, he works
Speaker 1: hard to do it, and so he's got that process
Speaker 1: built in That's why it's no mystery that he went
Speaker 1: out and had success. You know, from the very beginning,
Speaker 1: I always knew, like, Okay, this is the guy. Now,
Speaker 1: I just gotta continue to go out there and make
Speaker 1: plays for him so I can build that trust. And
Speaker 1: so that's kind of like the process, you know, for me,
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of guys in the offense.
Speaker 1: Because he's played in his league a long time, he's
Speaker 1: an older guy. You know, I'm still in my second year.
Speaker 1: So it's not like I'm some ten year vet. You don't.
Speaker 1: You barely practice and you come out and the guy
Speaker 1: just knows, Okay, he's gonna be ready. No, I'm still
Speaker 1: a growing guy in this league. So I gotta go
Speaker 1: out every single day, whether it's practice, whether it's even
Speaker 1: walked through, just letting him know, hey, I'm no, I'm
Speaker 1: going to be here. I'm going to be in the
Speaker 1: right fine, I got to make this play for you.
Speaker 1: So it's still growing. At the same time. I like
Speaker 1: where we're in. I like where we're hitting. Meanwhile, inside
Speaker 1: the Eagles locker room, we heard from Lane Johnson and
Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly as a two offensive lineman spoke about how
Speaker 1: versatility is the name of the game for the Eagles
Speaker 1: O line. Yeah, it was just you know, I had
Speaker 1: three days three days get used to it. So it's
Speaker 1: been a while since since I got to play it.
Speaker 1: But uh uh, in time, I'll get I'll get better
Speaker 1: and better kind kind of right check on. Um, when
Speaker 1: when you're looking at all the different spots, it does
Speaker 1: the little challenging just because there's you know, obviously more
Speaker 1: information you have to take in. You know, you can't
Speaker 1: just study one guy, can't to study one side. You
Speaker 1: pretty much study everything. You know, all the guys, all
Speaker 1: the different schemes and um, you know, like I said,
Speaker 1: it's better to be overprepared than underprepared. After the Eagles
Speaker 1: plays linebacker Jordan Hicks on injured reserve yesterday, the team
Speaker 1: resigned linebacker Emmanuel Acho, who had previously been with the club. Today,
Speaker 1: we heard from defensive coordinator Bill Davis and Acho on
Speaker 1: how the linebacker has been staying ready for when the
Speaker 1: opportunity comes. Yeah, you know, it manages extremely football until
Speaker 1: legend guy and he could run the defense right now.
Speaker 1: I mean he's missed for six seven weeks. He can
Speaker 1: go out there right now and run it. He has
Speaker 1: that kind of a football like you. So I've got
Speaker 1: I go way back with us. He's a very intelligent
Speaker 1: player and very comfortable to have to where you know
Speaker 1: that you can put him in and trust him to
Speaker 1: be and get everybody aligned to be our quarterback. But
Speaker 1: then in Philive been working out and just trying to
Speaker 1: stay in the game. Standball went to Jacksonville, I went
Speaker 1: to Atlanta, and I went to Arizona, and so I
Speaker 1: was constant pretty regularly on the move. But ultimately I'm
Speaker 1: glad I want him to back up home. That will
Speaker 1: wrap things up here from inside the Bubble. Be sure
Speaker 1: to stay tuned to Philadelphia Eagles dot Com through out
Speaker 1: the week, as on a Wednesday, we will hear from
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford and Damiko Ryan's thank you so much, Alex.
Speaker 1: We will get a look at the NFC East in
Speaker 1: just a little bit here. We're gonna talk some fantasy
Speaker 1: football as well. But when we return to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: we're gonna put a bow on that Sunday win over
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Glenn macnow gives us his five takeaways
Speaker 1: from a truly classic victory over the Eagles. Our tribal
Speaker 1: Duncan's new Sweet black Pepper Bacon sandwich with double the
Speaker 1: slices of caramelized crispy pepper and bacon. It's the bacon
Speaker 1: experience you've been waiting for. Bacon Up America runs on Duncan.
Speaker 1: Ain't but the paint of the painta hot but the pain.
Speaker 1: The pain carves to compete electrolytes, to replenish everything you
Speaker 1: need to keep sweating. Give any more, Chips, Bellas, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: We were daydreaming about that VIP tailgate game tickets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that pregame sideline experience exactly. I believe in Eagles season tickets.
Speaker 1: How do you both had the new instant game from
Speaker 1: the Pennsylvania Lotterie. Yeah, the Eagles Instant Game with top
Speaker 1: prizes of fifty grand and second chance prizes including season
Speaker 1: tickets the Pennsylvania Lotterye, bring your dreams to life, Brooke Montgomery.
Speaker 1: I never go anywhere without my Baba Peck John Hill, No,
Speaker 1: Baba Peedick. We're back if Eagles three sixty become your way.
Speaker 1: Every Monday through Friday in Philadelphia, Eagles dot Com and
Speaker 1: the Official Eagles app at five pm. I'm Dave Spiero
Speaker 1: Eagles insider along with Glenn mac now, and we've been
Speaker 1: talking about the Dallas Cowboys, no kiddingh final rap Glenn
Speaker 1: macnow five takeaways. By the way, could there be anything
Speaker 1: better than beating them in their play yes ever time
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one? Well yeah, winning the NFC championship game
Speaker 1: in all right? Fine, give them a circuit thing, all right,
Speaker 1: So here you go takeaway number one, Dave. The running
Speaker 1: back rotation is working. I always thought if you give
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray eighteen twenty carries a game, and that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the way to do it. And that's what he's done.
Speaker 1: In the last three game, four games, he's averaged eighty
Speaker 1: six yards four point five yards a carry, three touchdown.
Speaker 1: And Ryan Matthews is getting those six yards a carry.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, giving him ten eleven carries
Speaker 1: a game is going to help him get those six
Speaker 1: yards of carry. So I like this running back rotation.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with it. I told you earlier to
Speaker 1: Marco Murry is gonna get a thousand yards this year.
Speaker 1: He needs six hundred and eleven and the last eight
Speaker 1: games he's gonna go past. Interesting that the game on Sunday.
Speaker 1: The offense really struggled in that first quarter, and then
Speaker 1: the Eagles embark on an eighty yard drive. They run
Speaker 1: the football nine times out of twelve plays, and they
Speaker 1: just really dominated the line of scrimmage with Murray early,
Speaker 1: with Matthews late, a little Darren Sproles mixed in there,
Speaker 1: and when the run game goes everything in this offense
Speaker 1: absolutely seems to him. Absolutely here you go, number two, Maybe,
Speaker 1: just maybe we've turned the corner on Sam. Bradford get
Speaker 1: had three sterling drives, had no takeovers. The pace was
Speaker 1: so good that you saw how exhausted the Cowboys were
Speaker 1: at the end. I am not ready to say, Sam,
Speaker 1: I am yeah, because I told you earlier I want
Speaker 1: to see a couple more games. But this was a
Speaker 1: put up or shut up game for him, and he
Speaker 1: put up. But what do you want to see from him? Glenn?
Speaker 1: Is it pocket presence? Is it accuracy? I mean I
Speaker 1: know that different things. I know the production is the
Speaker 1: bottom line. Yeah, what impressed what impressed me the most
Speaker 1: was the pace of the thing that you know, one
Speaker 1: of the concerns we had is Bradford wasn't able to
Speaker 1: get up there move that fast. Get it going, and
Speaker 1: I thought he did. The offense did, and that was
Speaker 1: great enough. Of course, zero turnovers is always a great thing.
Speaker 1: All right, number three, All right, number three, this is
Speaker 1: the not so good one. We are still at the
Speaker 1: point now ten total points in the first quarter, and
Speaker 1: now we're through eight games. They had the three and
Speaker 1: out the first time they got the ball, they got
Speaker 1: it back on a penalty, and then they got six
Speaker 1: and out and that was no good. Let me give
Speaker 1: you something that that I've kind of looked at the
Speaker 1: concerns to. Okay, they have not completed a pass longer
Speaker 1: than eight yards in their initial drive this year. Eight games,
Speaker 1: eight possessions, five to three and outs, not one complete
Speaker 1: pass over eight yards. Remember when you McNabb used to
Speaker 1: early in the game, heave that long one to the
Speaker 1: t o or Pinkston before him. I want to see
Speaker 1: one of them, even if it's incomplete. Let's get the defense. Yeah, okay, early,
Speaker 1: let's do it in the first drive. All right, Number four,
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. There you go. Yeah, I'll be calling him today.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he wants to take my call. All right,
Speaker 1: here you go, number four, And this is a concern,
Speaker 1: and you know, we alluded to this. The Eagles really
Speaker 1: may have lost the guy who, over the course of
Speaker 1: the last four or five games was their defensive MVP.
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks took that interception back for the touchdown early
Speaker 1: in the game. It was a defining moment in the game.
Speaker 1: Now he's out, He's out for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: The Kiko Alonzo looked pretty rusty. As understood. He the
Speaker 1: guys only played two games over the course the last
Speaker 1: two years. But he's gonna have to come in to
Speaker 1: Mico Ryans is gonna have to come in. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to do what The good news is they both
Speaker 1: have established track and you know, the guy who really
Speaker 1: is interesting to watch is Michael Kendricks, who seems to
Speaker 1: just be running through gaps, playing downhill, and that might
Speaker 1: be the best situation for him to be in. Go
Speaker 1: find the football and don't worry about dropping in coverage.
Speaker 1: If there's a way the Eagles can put him in
Speaker 1: those kinds of situations, it really may bring back that
Speaker 1: big playilment. I mean, the Eagles are really strategizing to
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. They've schemed a lot. They had
Speaker 1: four sacks on Sunday, Night and Michael Kendricks, I think
Speaker 1: can be such an effective pass rusher, and I think
Speaker 1: Bill Davids is going to dial him up down the stretch.
Speaker 1: Would love to see that. All right, here you get
Speaker 1: number five, and boy, how much fun was this? Lane Johnson,
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey, Brent Selleck really did a number on Greg
Speaker 1: Hardy And I talked to Raid jer during the week,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna tell you I stole this from him.
Speaker 1: He said, if you run at him so that he
Speaker 1: can't just run the passer, he's gonna not just get tired,
Speaker 1: he's gonna lose interests, he's gonna get frustrated. They did.
Speaker 1: They ran at him, He got tired. By the end
Speaker 1: of the game. He was a non factor. And how
Speaker 1: great was that? It was the whole group. I mean.
Speaker 1: The Eagles again have faced a lot of criticism for
Speaker 1: not selecting an offensive lineman other than Lane Johnson in
Speaker 1: the three Chip Kelly drafts. They didn't sign anybody in
Speaker 1: free agency. They let Evan Mathis go, they let Todd
Speaker 1: Harriman's go, and yet the Eagles came up big when
Speaker 1: they had to against the Cowboys with Dennis Kelly at
Speaker 1: right tackle, Lane Johnson at left tackle, Matt Tobin, Alan
Speaker 1: Barber surrounding Jason Kelsey, Josh Andrews the next man in.
Speaker 1: Didn't come to that, but he was ready to go.
Speaker 1: And the Eagles their philosophy, well it paid off in
Speaker 1: a game they really had to have. Terrific. So those
Speaker 1: are the winning touchdown. The back end block is Brent
Speaker 1: Selleck coming in and hitting Hardy and sprung it for
Speaker 1: the for the touchdown. How great was that? And so wait,
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer just called, He said, advice earlier. Throw them
Speaker 1: all there, you go, throw off just deep early. That's
Speaker 1: all it's gonna take. Well, not all it's gonna take,
Speaker 1: but they've got ten points. It's games. Good stuff. Glenn
Speaker 1: McNown is five takeaways. When we return to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: we're going to take a look around the NFC East,
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Eagles. Are they separating themselves from
Speaker 1: the other two teams. We'll talk about it when we return.

Speaker 1: Eagles upcoming schedule presented by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by

Speaker 1: buy or sell NFL tickets. Visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Glenn.
Speaker 1: The second half of the season begins with two home
Speaker 1: games and then Detroit on Thanksgiving three last placed teams
Speaker 1: in twelve teams give me three wins the rest of
Speaker 1: the schedule, though, I mean, how how many wins you
Speaker 1: see in the final way games? Once shot three? Yep,
Speaker 1: Buffalo Washington. Okay, that's five, that's five, that's nine. And
Speaker 1: I think it all comes down to speaking the Giants
Speaker 1: the last day of the season. Whoa wait, I think
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna be in better shape than that. I
Speaker 1: just gave him ten wins. You're gonna give more than ten?
Speaker 1: Nine wins? Well, I gave him nine coming into the Giants.
Speaker 1: I don't think Arizona on on the East Coast in December, okay,
Speaker 1: is as formidable. But as I agree, it will take
Speaker 1: everything has to go right for your prediction to work,
Speaker 1: and as we know, everything doesn't always. But six and
Speaker 1: two is that that unrealistic? It's not impossible. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've seen teams like this catch a win. You and
Speaker 1: I've been following the Eagles long and up. There were
Speaker 1: years where Buddy started out that bad. All right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit about the NFC East Um, Okay,
Speaker 1: we talked about it all year, but it's just fascinating
Speaker 1: to me and I think it's getting very defined now,
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Eagles, perhaps Glenn separating themselves from
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Covers. Are the Cowboys toasted? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're done. They're they're they're they're done. They're irrelevant, they
Speaker 1: don't matter, They're not important. They are done. It's over
Speaker 1: one more game without Tony Romo in Tampa on Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine, and they may even win that one. But
Speaker 1: after that, they're not gonna just kind of run the
Speaker 1: thing just because Tony Romo's coming back. And I respect them.
Speaker 1: They are not going to run the table with Tony Romo.
Speaker 1: They're they're a mess. Okay, Washington has played hard football.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of injuries, a little bit of intrigue.
Speaker 1: This week, DeShawn Jackson be thinking a bit about his
Speaker 1: lack of production. It certainly seems that that deal did
Speaker 1: not work out for Washington nor for DeShawn. Now, who
Speaker 1: I would be surprised to be a Redskin next year.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's gonna get cut, take the money, and
Speaker 1: end up somewhere else, and probably not on a particularly
Speaker 1: good franchise. Yes, I think the Patriots just kind of
Speaker 1: toyed with Washington last week, whether they beat him twenty
Speaker 1: seven to seven or something like that. And here's the
Speaker 1: thing about Washington. No sacks last week, just thirteen for
Speaker 1: the season, so they can't rushing. Here's the STAB stats.
Speaker 1: Washington has given up in the last four games seven
Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight rushing yards. That's incredible. At the meantime,
Speaker 1: they have rushed for one seventy two. They're given up
Speaker 1: four yards for everyone day game. We don't have to
Speaker 1: be coaches, you know, you can't win with that, That's right.
Speaker 1: And then the New York Giants with Jason Pierre Paul
Speaker 1: Back hold off Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay's woes in the
Speaker 1: red zone really came back to haunt them. Mike Evans
Speaker 1: and absolutely terrible game with six drops at wide receiver.
Speaker 1: At the Giants this week, Well, they've got New England
Speaker 1: and then they've got a brutal schedule on the other
Speaker 1: side they do, so here's what you go. They got
Speaker 1: New England this week at home. I still think New
Speaker 1: England's gonna work. Then they go to Washington. They could
Speaker 1: beat Washington the Jets at home. What do you think?
Speaker 1: I think they beat the Jets. For the Jets two
Speaker 1: at Miami. That will be determining on how hard Miami
Speaker 1: plays at that point. All right, Panthers at the Vikings
Speaker 1: two losses, two losses, and then they close with the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I really think that last game is good, will be huge.
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot to play for in the
Speaker 1: NFC East. Of course, the Eagles with the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: up next, we'll talk about that and just a bit
Speaker 1: when we would come Yeah, when we come back to
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty, we're gonna talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: fantasy football script. I'll look at the past weekend and
Speaker 1: then some values. Who are Philadelphia Eagles, who's emerging who

Speaker 1: Welcome back as Eagles three sixty Dave spendero Eagles Insider
Speaker 1: along with Glenn Macnow time for a little cruised fantasy
Speaker 1: football world. We're gonna give you a look at maybe
Speaker 1: some players from the Eagles roster who up and down
Speaker 1: the first half, who are ready to take off in
Speaker 1: the season's final eight games. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith,
Speaker 1: and welcome to another week of Fantasy Spin presented by
Speaker 1: Bud Light. I am joined as I am every week
Speaker 1: by Joe Dolan, the managing editor of fantasygrew dot com. Joe,
Speaker 1: let's jump right into it. Let's start things off by
Speaker 1: talking about the Eagles running backs. As the Eagles have
Speaker 1: really gotten the run game going as of late. How
Speaker 1: did those two backs fit into the fantasy picture this weekend? Well,
Speaker 1: I think what you saw against the Cowboys Alex was
Speaker 1: exactly what the Eagles wanted to do with their running backs.
Speaker 1: I think that was their plan from the moment they
Speaker 1: signed DeMarco Murray and Ryan Matthews. The Eagles, after a
Speaker 1: slow start, have now run over seventy plays and four
Speaker 1: straight games. And when they're running that many plays, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be plenty of touches available for both Murray and Matthews.
Speaker 1: And I think the plan is for Murray to come
Speaker 1: in kind of wear down the defense. He can contribute
Speaker 1: in the passing game a little more than Ryan Matthews
Speaker 1: Kent and then Matthews with that great burst and that
Speaker 1: ability to get to the perimeter kind of that one
Speaker 1: cut action, he's the guy who kind of comes in
Speaker 1: and throws the haymakers at the defense after Murray wears
Speaker 1: him down. Matthews is just too explosive for the defense
Speaker 1: to really slow down, and I think we saw that
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. For as maligned to season as DeMarco
Speaker 1: Murray has had, he's been really really good for Fantasy
Speaker 1: of late and out of the first round running backs,
Speaker 1: it's basically he and Adrian Peterson who are left standing.
Speaker 1: So DeMarco Murray, if you've had him, if you drafted him,
Speaker 1: you've actually lucked out compared to what else you could
Speaker 1: have had. And his level of play has clearly been improving.
Speaker 1: So this week against the Miami Dolphins, who have a
Speaker 1: really low ranked run defense, DeMarco Murray is an easy
Speaker 1: RB one. He's in your lineup. He's a lock for
Speaker 1: your lineup. You don't have to make a call on him.
Speaker 1: I think Ryan Matthews has flex value and Darren Sprowles
Speaker 1: he's just kind of a week tweek proposition. He plays
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps, But I think whether or not
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford targets him in the passing game or if
Speaker 1: it gets enough carries is just kind of based on
Speaker 1: game flow. So he's more of a risky guy, even
Speaker 1: though he technically plays more than Ryan Matthews does. But
Speaker 1: I think Murray is a lock for your lineup. I
Speaker 1: think Matthews is a viable flex, and if you're really hurting,
Speaker 1: I think Darren Sprowles because of the amount of plays
Speaker 1: the Eagles have run recently, his viable as well. Joe
Speaker 1: looking at a surprise start this week, you're looking in
Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield, Well, yeah, Doug Martin's a
Speaker 1: lock for your lineup this week against Dallas with Sean
Speaker 1: Lee presumably out with the concussion. But Charles Simms has
Speaker 1: been kind of floating on the perimeter, and I think
Speaker 1: he's a guy who's almost certainly on your waiver wire.
Speaker 1: His fantasy production hasn't been great, but he busted off
Speaker 1: a couple long runs last week, and he actually out
Speaker 1: snapped Doug Martin last week. He got more planning time
Speaker 1: than him. So if you're really hurting for a running back,
Speaker 1: maybe you lost Dion Lewis this week and you don't
Speaker 1: want to mess with James White, Brandon Bolden, anybody the
Speaker 1: Patriots might sign. Charles Sims could be out there and
Speaker 1: could be a lower end option for you who could
Speaker 1: pay off with three or four catches this week, Joe,
Speaker 1: looking at the quarterback position, Carson Palmer and the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals had a pretty good start to the season. But
Speaker 1: you're a little bit hesitant to go with Palmer this weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's going to Seattle coming off a bye. Palm's coming
Speaker 1: off a bye. But so Seattle, and Seattle has been
Speaker 1: certainly one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL
Speaker 1: thus far. They've blown fourth quarter leads defensively, which is
Speaker 1: a concern. I think they're going to get things kind
Speaker 1: of stored up coming out of the by now. Carson
Speaker 1: Palmer hasn't played against Seattle since twenty thirteen because he
Speaker 1: missed both games with injury last year, but in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: he had two touchdowns against six interceptions in two games
Speaker 1: against Seattle. He threw four interceptions in Seattle in December
Speaker 1: of twenty thirteen. I don't try to look back that far,
Speaker 1: but I tend to think player history has a little
Speaker 1: bit more impact in division games. So if there is
Speaker 1: a viable streaming option out there on the waiver wire,
Speaker 1: it is fair to sit Carson Palmer this week. I
Speaker 1: want to hold on to him because I want him
Speaker 1: for the stretch run, but I think this week might
Speaker 1: be a little bit shakier than you'd like to see
Speaker 1: from your guy who's been really good for you and Joe. Finally,
Speaker 1: as players are working the waiver wire this weekend, who
Speaker 1: are a couple running backs who maybe you're not so
Speaker 1: high on moving forward? Well, if you've been stashing these guys,
Speaker 1: it's I'm going to get rid of him. Kristin Michael
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys see zero snaps against the Eagles.
Speaker 1: The fake Rod Smith, not the guy who was awesome
Speaker 1: in Denver like ten years ago. He played ahead of
Speaker 1: them and then one of the bigger disappointments last week.
Speaker 1: I think for players who were stashing this guy, I
Speaker 1: think anybody would have expected CJ. Spiller snaps to rise
Speaker 1: after Kyrie Robinson went down for the year. Not the case.
Speaker 1: He played only six snaps last week for the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. He had three touches. Mark Ingram dominated the
Speaker 1: snaps and touches in that backfield. It is time to
Speaker 1: save yourself a headache. Get rid of CJ. Spiller. He's
Speaker 1: been useless. Great stuff as always from Joe Dolan, the
Speaker 1: managing editor of Fantasy grew dot com. Be sure to
Speaker 1: follow Joe on Twitter at fg Underscore Dolan and listened
Speaker 1: to him on Serious XM Fantasy Sports Radio. That will

Speaker 1: Time for the Miami Dolphins to come to town one day.
Speaker 1: Dave Spidero glenmac Now, this is a team that with
Speaker 1: new coach Dan Campbell win to blowout get blown out twice.
Speaker 1: Will the real Miami Dolphins please stand out? I think
Speaker 1: the real Miami Dolphins are the Dolphins you saw in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I really do they They
Speaker 1: don't have a pass rush, the defense is kind of
Speaker 1: a mess. I know everybody really likes Ryan Tannehill and
Speaker 1: I think he may be something there, but his offensive
Speaker 1: line is hurting. He doesn't have a lot of protection,
Speaker 1: and I know how risky this is. I think the
Speaker 1: Heils are gonna blow him out. I know, I know
Speaker 1: it's I know, Hey, I kind of give it to
Speaker 1: you honestly. And a couple of weeks ago you asked
Speaker 1: me and I predicted they were gonna lose. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think the Els are gonna blow him out. I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see Bill Lazer, who was the quarterbacks coach here
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen with Nick Foles in the Great Season,
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl season. He's now the offensive coordinator in Miami.
Speaker 1: How closely is what he do what he does offensively?
Speaker 1: What does does it resemble what Ship Kelly does? Is
Speaker 1: it a mirror of this up tempo short routes, shallow
Speaker 1: crosses and the If that's the case, should certainly have
Speaker 1: a handle on what Miami does offense. Yeah, you should
Speaker 1: know how to do it absolutely, And I think you're
Speaker 1: right because if you look at it, their wide receivers
Speaker 1: averaged like ten yards to catch eleven yards a catch.
Speaker 1: They catch a lot of volume, but it's a lot
Speaker 1: of short, quick passes. That's what they do. Buffo screens.
Speaker 1: Cornerbacks Nolan Carol and Byron Maxwell will have to tackle
Speaker 1: on Sunday. What's ahead? Well, our Emrosa is on the
Speaker 1: menu segment. Well there is. Chick Kelly comes into studio
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and we're gonna talk about the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Joe to Camera will be in studio with me as
Speaker 1: well Chris McPherson with Covered two and some Eagles Dolphins connections.
