Speaker 1: We welcome you to Eagles three sixty on this Thursday.
Speaker 1: Dave Spidero, Glenn Mac. Now, we've got a lot to
Speaker 1: get to a head of this game with so many
Speaker 1: intriguing storylines, name them top three storylines. Three storylines. One,
Speaker 1: can the Eagles defense recoup and not have a first
Speaker 1: half collapse because you're gonna need that to win. Number two,
Speaker 1: can the Eagles get back to not destroying themselves with penalties?
Speaker 1: That would be a good one. And number three, I'll
Speaker 1: give you the obvious one. It's the return of Sam Bradford. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. We're done. We're going home. Everybody, thank you.
Speaker 1: And by the way, can the Eagles win a game
Speaker 1: after losing in Detroit and in Washington? Is the home
Speaker 1: cooking the right recipe for the Eagles in this breast
Speaker 1: cancer awareness campaign game? Well, to get you caught up
Speaker 1: and everything happening here our Eagles three sixty update Alex
Speaker 1: Smith on the day that coordinators Frank Reich and Jim
Speaker 1: Schwartz a very upset Jim Schwartz met the media. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Smith here with your three sixty update. All
Speaker 1: eyes will be on the Eagles defense on Sunday as
Speaker 1: they try to recover from a game against Washington in
Speaker 1: which they gave up two hundred and thirty yards on
Speaker 1: the ground. And while the Vikings may not have the
Speaker 1: most prolific rushing attack in the NFL, in fact, they
Speaker 1: ranked near the bottom in most rushing categories. Defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz and defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, you know that
Speaker 1: there's a lot of work to be done to clean
Speaker 1: up the Eagles rush defense. Yeah, no, I don't there
Speaker 1: there was no new runs that they ran at US.
Speaker 1: You know, they ran the inside zone week or the
Speaker 1: Zone Stretch week. The Zone Stretch Strong actually did a
Speaker 1: fairly decent job to stop and the Zown Stretch Strong.
Speaker 1: The Zown Stretch week was a problem for US. Crack Toss,
Speaker 1: you know, they were all players were prepared for. But
Speaker 1: practicing and preparing for him and talking about him and
Speaker 1: going on on the practice field, that doesn't mean anything
Speaker 1: if you don't do it on Sunday. We didn't do
Speaker 1: a good enough job on Sunday. The last two weeks.
Speaker 1: I think, you know that run defense has has not
Speaker 1: been you know what it was the first three weeks
Speaker 1: and we've just got to go back to the basics
Speaker 1: and you know, take pride in it and not let
Speaker 1: a team run the ball on us. And I think
Speaker 1: we'll do that on Sunday. Meanwhile, one of the running
Speaker 1: storylines this week continues to be the return of Vikings
Speaker 1: quarterback Sam Bradford. Today we heard from Jordan Matthews and
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks as they spoke together at a press conference
Speaker 1: about what the return of Bradford means for Sunday's game.
Speaker 1: The main thing that, as a friend, you know, and
Speaker 1: I knew that the trade was going down, I wanted
Speaker 1: to know what situation he was going to, you know,
Speaker 1: because beyond football, you know, he's obviously my friend, So um,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure, you know, I want to
Speaker 1: know if he was going to a good situation where
Speaker 1: he could go and compete. And then not only did
Speaker 1: he get to go to a team in Minnesota, but um,
Speaker 1: I know Koch Sherman's there, and him and Koch Sherman
Speaker 1: had a great relationship. He was even actually at Sam's wedding, so,
Speaker 1: you know, so him being able to go there and
Speaker 1: have somebody he knows and then go to a team
Speaker 1: that I feel like fits him. You watch some film.
Speaker 1: Obviously you have a good feel for you know what
Speaker 1: Sam does good, does well at and some things that
Speaker 1: hopefully we could try to take advantage of. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I think he knows what we do. We
Speaker 1: know kind of how he is. I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it kind of bounces out. You
Speaker 1: can catch the rest of that press conference, as well
Speaker 1: as all of our other locker room coverage right here
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the official Eagles mobile app.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Alex. In a bit here on
Speaker 1: this jam packed Eagles three sixty Glenn Mac now we'll
Speaker 1: offer some of his bold predictions. As he arches an
Speaker 1: eyebrow in my direction. I'm feeling good about it. Good,
Speaker 1: feeling good. But next when we returned to Eagles three
Speaker 1: sixty ESPN South Pallotonio in for the big game this week,
Speaker 1: he stops by the studio to talk Eagles vikings. Are

Speaker 1: right checking from Santon deir Bank. T now to get
Speaker 1: a national perspective on this Philadelphia Eagles football team, joining
Speaker 1: me in studio ESPN Sal Palantonio. Big one for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: First question, how legit are the Vikings. I think they're legit.
Speaker 1: I don't think that their offense is powerful. It's not
Speaker 1: going to overwhelm you. I think they've been efficient. They're
Speaker 1: obviously the only team in the NFL hasn't turned the
Speaker 1: ball over, David. They're not going to get chunks of
Speaker 1: yards in the running game. They're last in the league
Speaker 1: and rushing. I think what they do well is protect
Speaker 1: the football, move the chains, get you into disadvantageous third
Speaker 1: down situations, and then convert. Mike Zimmer is running a
Speaker 1: carbon copy of Bill Parcel's football, and Parcels, as you know,
Speaker 1: is his mentor right. Protect the football field, position, advantageous
Speaker 1: third down situations, and convert and play great defense. And
Speaker 1: that's the big challenge for Carson Wentz, who through five
Speaker 1: games is you fill in the blank. I think he's
Speaker 1: a B plus, you know, and I would have given
Speaker 1: him an A minus except for last week. I thought
Speaker 1: what I saw from him, and I just talked to
Speaker 1: him about it a little bit. I saw his eyes
Speaker 1: level down. He wasn't looking downfield as much. He was thinking,
Speaker 1: I think in his mind subconsciously. I got a rookie
Speaker 1: tackle on the right side, and I just asked him
Speaker 1: about it, and he said, you know, at some point,
Speaker 1: your instincts just take over and it's natural to do that.
Speaker 1: I thought in the first four games that he played,
Speaker 1: he didn't do that. He was playing with youthful exuberance,
Speaker 1: you know. And I think in the last game he
Speaker 1: was worried a little bit about the rush, and in
Speaker 1: this game he'll have to definitely be worried about the rush.
Speaker 1: If I had asked you prior to the September eleventh opener, Hey,
Speaker 1: sal how would you feel if the Eagles won three
Speaker 1: of their first five games? You may have felt pretty
Speaker 1: good about it. Now that they're here and the way
Speaker 1: they've gotten here, how do you feel about this three
Speaker 1: and two team? Well, I think you're right. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we had said after the first five games they
Speaker 1: were going to be three and two, we would way
Speaker 1: ahead of the ball game. So I think they are
Speaker 1: way ahead of the ball game. I think it's very
Speaker 1: important to have a big picture outlook to the season
Speaker 1: in four game chunks, and at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: second four game chunk, they took a little bit of
Speaker 1: a step back. So now they have to have the
Speaker 1: equalizer in this football game. That to me is the
Speaker 1: kid is to get back on track, because let's face it,
Speaker 1: the Washington game was a setback. In many ways. I
Speaker 1: thought it was important for Doug Peterson to set the tone,
Speaker 1: and I like the way he set the tone just
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the week and saying, you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna stick with our guys. Nobody's panicking. But he
Speaker 1: said a couple of other things that I thought were
Speaker 1: very interesting that I haven't gotten a lot of play want.
Speaker 1: He sat in with Jim Schwartz in the defensive meeting
Speaker 1: and watched the film and said he wasn't ready to
Speaker 1: make changes just yet, but I think he's thinking about
Speaker 1: big picture, what he has to have his hands into.
Speaker 1: Where's he got to get dirty because he is the
Speaker 1: head coach and it's a sixteen game season. So that's
Speaker 1: a good segue to the defense. So two hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty rushing yards allowed to Washington, five hundred yards of
Speaker 1: offense nearly we did not see this coming from this defense.
Speaker 1: What's going on there? Well? I think a couple of things.
Speaker 1: First of all, they're over pursuing and they're not tackling.
Speaker 1: Then the run game, in the passing game, they're not
Speaker 1: getting the pressure from their down four linemen. The Eagles
Speaker 1: going into this week are the least blitzing team in
Speaker 1: the NFL lowest percentage only fourteen percent of the opponent's
Speaker 1: drop backs. That's a very low number, even by Jim
Speaker 1: Schwartz standard. Coming into the season, Schwartz was at twenty
Speaker 1: to twenty two percent, So he's down a third. That's
Speaker 1: a lot why. I don't know the answer to that,
Speaker 1: and I expect that will he'll get that question as
Speaker 1: the week progresses. Okay, Eagles against this undefeated team, the
Speaker 1: undefeated team for coming off a bye week. How did
Speaker 1: the Eagles win on Sunday? I think they've got a
Speaker 1: grind one out. That's the way Mike zimmer plays defense.
Speaker 1: Here's the three things he's got to be concerned about
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Zimmerd is the godfather of the double a
Speaker 1: gap blitz. A double a gap blitz works if you've
Speaker 1: got a quarterback who doesn't understand where all the pieces
Speaker 1: are on the field. If he does, he can execute
Speaker 1: out of it pretty quickly. And I think Wentz is
Speaker 1: among the great things about Wentz is he's smart, so
Speaker 1: I think he'll understand that. They'll coach him up on
Speaker 1: that he'll get out of it. Plus he's got quick
Speaker 1: feet in the pocket, So that's number one, and it's
Speaker 1: a big one. It's a really big one. Number two
Speaker 1: is they've got to run the ball better. They've got
Speaker 1: to stay in more manageable third down situations. And number three, David,
Speaker 1: you can't have thirteen fourteen penalties a game. The Eagles
Speaker 1: lead the league with nine point eight penalties a game.
Speaker 1: That's terrible. You know, let's call it what it is.
Speaker 1: And Doug Peterson talked about the latter two things. More
Speaker 1: manageable third down on offense, stop the penalties. If we
Speaker 1: do that, it doesn't matter if Big V's playing right
Speaker 1: tackle or Dicky V. Yeah, we love that line. Is
Speaker 1: a great cross roads game, I mean, a really important
Speaker 1: game too for Doug to establish things here. No, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think cross roads a game.
Speaker 1: It's a bound I'll go as far as bounce back game.
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's in four game chunks. First four
Speaker 1: games a solid Ay, you're three and one. Now you
Speaker 1: took a little step back. Now you gotta bounce back
Speaker 1: because you got two road games in the division South Pale.
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to have you in studio. Thanks for
Speaker 1: joining us. This portion of Eagle three sixty was presented

Speaker 1: macnow Eagles three sixty worth an overcare complex and we're
Speaker 1: talking Eagles and Vikings, and Glenn has some bold predictions. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's bold prediction time by Glenn mcnow. All right, Dave,
Speaker 1: here you go. Number one, this is bold. The Eagles
Speaker 1: this week will not kill themselves with penalties. How about that?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? No, here's what thteen and thirteen?
Speaker 1: What is that? Last three weeks? Thirty six penalties three
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four yards. That was a killer. If
Speaker 1: the coaches have worked on anything this week, you have
Speaker 1: to assume it is getting them to discipline and they
Speaker 1: know it. They know what they're doing. So here's what
Speaker 1: you go. If the coaches are effective and the players
Speaker 1: are smart, and I think they are, let's say seven
Speaker 1: penalties max. Sixty five yards. You know you're gonna get
Speaker 1: a holding along the way. You know there's going to
Speaker 1: be a pass interference because there always is. That's it.
Speaker 1: Seven sixty five the max. Okay, that's you're over under
Speaker 1: for Sunday, Glenn and I take the under number two.
Speaker 1: We know the Eagles want Dorial Greenbeckham to be more involved.
Speaker 1: We know last week he played in more than eighty
Speaker 1: percent of the plays forty eight plays. They targeted him
Speaker 1: four times, only one catch. This week, I actually think
Speaker 1: they're going to connect day. I think he's gonna have
Speaker 1: a few catches. I see him having a touchdown. I
Speaker 1: think Jordan Matthew's kind of iffy status as we sit
Speaker 1: here today may play into it a little more. Somebody's
Speaker 1: got to get the touchdowns this week. Doriel greenbeck Well,
Speaker 1: that would be a welcome relief for an offense that
Speaker 1: has been searching for points these last couple of games
Speaker 1: against the NFL's best defense. Dorial Greenbeckham, with the size,
Speaker 1: has the advantage there, gaining the trust of Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: Frank Reich talking very highly about him today. Why not
Speaker 1: you're with me? I'm with you all right. Number three,
Speaker 1: Watch for this because the Vikings always do this play
Speaker 1: I used to call at the end around now it
Speaker 1: became the Jet sweeps. Cordarell Patterson is a guy they
Speaker 1: love to do that with he's got in his career
Speaker 1: twenty eight carries. He averages eleven yards a carry. He's
Speaker 1: a danger or risk man. I think you're gonna use them.
Speaker 1: The good news is, so far this year teams have
Speaker 1: tried that jet sweep whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 1: fine six times against the Eagles, only six yards they've
Speaker 1: given up. They've done a good job with it. But
Speaker 1: the Vikings will do it minimum of two times, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. I mean, the strength of the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 1: as we've talked about all week, is their defense. The
Speaker 1: Vikings offense is not a high powered offense, and they're
Speaker 1: down to their fourth and fifth offensive tackles. The Eagles
Speaker 1: have to take advantage here, so it would be surprising
Speaker 1: to see the Eagles give it up on the edges
Speaker 1: in a jet sweep scenario. Sam Bradford gets the football
Speaker 1: out of his hands very quickly, no interceptions, accurate all that.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles should have an advantage up Franklin.
Speaker 1: They should. I guess they an offensive let's we've said
Speaker 1: it can't run the football. They should. The loss of
Speaker 1: Benny Logan, the loss of Monny Logans gonna hurt and
Speaker 1: you're gonna you know, you're gonna need big games there from.
Speaker 1: This is where death comes in in the NFL, and
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna have to happen. And geez, how about
Speaker 1: rediscover the pass rush and we'll get the other two
Speaker 1: bold predictions on the Kickoff Show, which starts at noon
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Glenn mcnell, thank you very much. We've been
Speaker 1: talking about the Vikings. We know only so much about
Speaker 1: the Vikings. So in our next segment here on Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty, we go behind enemy lines. What has made
Speaker 1: this Vikings team so potent through five games? We'll find
Speaker 1: out when we return. This portion of Eagles three sixty

Speaker 1: David Glenn here, we've talked about the vikings at nauseum
Speaker 1: this week. Let's go behind enemy Lines Now Chris McPherson
Speaker 1: and Mike Wabshaw from Vikings dot com. Hello Eagles fans.
Speaker 1: I'm Chris McPherson and welcome to Behind Enemy Lines presented
Speaker 1: by gatorad here on Philadelphi Eagles dot Com. The Eagles
Speaker 1: welcome the last undefeated team in the entire NFL to
Speaker 1: the link this Sunday and to break down the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 1: we bringing Mike Wabshaw from Vikings dot com. Mike, why
Speaker 1: don't get us send us to thank you card for
Speaker 1: giving you guys Sam Bradford. Okay, the Vikings Vikings are
Speaker 1: up to the five and nose start. Can you just
Speaker 1: explain what Sam Breford has done to stabilize at football
Speaker 1: team after the loss of Teddy Bridgewater? Well, can I
Speaker 1: just hand deliver you that thank you card and we
Speaker 1: have a cheese steak and we'll call it good? How
Speaker 1: about that? Well, how about in the draft next year
Speaker 1: when we're getting the first round pick, so we could
Speaker 1: do the exchange. I'll be perfect. Yeah, kind of a
Speaker 1: win win for both sides. I think Chris, you guys
Speaker 1: look like you're in good shape with Carson Wentz and
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford is coming in here for the Vikings and
Speaker 1: really has hit the ground running. You know, he did
Speaker 1: not start Week one for US at Tennessee Sean Hill.
Speaker 1: Our backup started that game and he played well and
Speaker 1: the Vikings obviously won that game. But since then Sam
Speaker 1: has started all four games, has not turned the ball over,
Speaker 1: has six touchdowns, completing seventy percent of his passes, has
Speaker 1: a passer rating writer on one O nine. He's been
Speaker 1: great and you said the word, Chris, stabilize. He's stabilized
Speaker 1: this offense and he's also taken it a step further.
Speaker 1: He can make plays with his arm, and he can
Speaker 1: stretch the field vertically. He's had a couple of really
Speaker 1: nice passing days for US two hundred and eighty plus yards.
Speaker 1: He had a two touchdown game for US. He's been
Speaker 1: spreading the ball around really well. To Chris, and I
Speaker 1: remember our victory over the Giants on Monday Night football
Speaker 1: marked the one month anniversary of the acquisition of Sam Bradford.
Speaker 1: That was a night where the Vikings won. Sam Bradford
Speaker 1: had twenty six completions to nine different receivers, so one
Speaker 1: month into it, Sam was already demonstrating a mastery of
Speaker 1: this offense. So it's been a really a big time
Speaker 1: trade acquisition for the Vikings to get Sam in here.
Speaker 1: So Mike tay Bridgeware goes down, Sam Bradford comes in,
Speaker 1: Adrian Pearson goes down the league's rushing camp from twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: What are the Vikings done to kind of stabilize I'll
Speaker 1: use that word again, to get the ground gameslidify. I
Speaker 1: think that's a really important factor for the Vikings here
Speaker 1: coming out of the bye. They are not running the
Speaker 1: ball as well as we're used to seeing them run
Speaker 1: the ball With Adrian Peterson, of course, I mean he
Speaker 1: led the league in rushing last year and the Vikings
Speaker 1: had the fourth rank rushing offense. So we're far from
Speaker 1: producing at that kind of level, but you gotta cut
Speaker 1: him some slack. We've had a bunch of injuries along
Speaker 1: the offensive line, which I know you're familiar with, and
Speaker 1: Tony Sprano is can his tail off to get that
Speaker 1: group to gain some synergy. Hopefully they can do that
Speaker 1: here coming out of the bye. I looked at the
Speaker 1: thirty nine road victories in the NFL this season, Chris
Speaker 1: and teams when they went on the road. They're running
Speaker 1: for about one hundred and fifteen yards per game. The
Speaker 1: Vikings are running it at seventy yards per game, So
Speaker 1: that's a number that Mike Zimmer would love to see
Speaker 1: increase coming out of the bye. So Mike Zimmer head
Speaker 1: coach at defensive mastermind, a longtime assistant, finally got the
Speaker 1: head coaching gig there in Minnesota. Why has that defense
Speaker 1: become so stout, so spectacular early in the season, arguably
Speaker 1: and statistically the best unit in the entire NFL. Yeah,
Speaker 1: interesting question, Chris, and I think what it is is
Speaker 1: something that has overlooked quite a bit. I don't point
Speaker 1: to any individual players, Everson Griffin, Lynval Joseph, Eric Kendricks,
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith, Zavier Rhodes has done a great job on
Speaker 1: some of these receivers. I think it's continuity. I think
Speaker 1: that is the key to this defense. When you look
Speaker 1: at the core of this defense. The guys that I mentioned,
Speaker 1: they've been playing together for two and some of them
Speaker 1: for three years now. This is their third season with
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer. All eleven players on defense on the field,
Speaker 1: they know what the other ten guys are doing, and
Speaker 1: I think that is a big advantage for Mike Zimmer's
Speaker 1: defense to have that continuity. I talked about how the
Speaker 1: offensive line is looking to build that continuity and that
Speaker 1: synergy with all the moving parts and pieces that they've
Speaker 1: had because of injuries the last two seasons and especially
Speaker 1: this year, the defense, knock on Wood, has not had
Speaker 1: to deal with that. They have continuity, they have synergy.
Speaker 1: It is eleven individuals moving as one piece. And I
Speaker 1: think that is a huge reason for this defense's success
Speaker 1: through the first five games of the season. Mike, there's
Speaker 1: so many great storylines, the return of Sam Bradford, Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz going against this outstanding defense. Can you give us
Speaker 1: an X factor a player who is not the level
Speaker 1: of Everson Griffin or Eric Kendricks or Bradford, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe go a little under the radar. Who Eagles fan
Speaker 1: might want to say, we need to take a look
Speaker 1: at this guy. Make sure this guy doesn't beat us
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I think lately, Chris, it's been Adam feelin
Speaker 1: for us. And listen, I mean Adam Thieland was a
Speaker 1: long long shot to make the team at one point
Speaker 1: in time, and right now he's a guy who plays
Speaker 1: on offense and plays a key role on special teams
Speaker 1: as well. As his offensive role increases, maybe his special
Speaker 1: team's role will diminish a little bit. But he's a
Speaker 1: guy who can help you in multiple phases on special teams.
Speaker 1: And he had a career day against the Houston Texans
Speaker 1: and our game heading into the buy a game that
Speaker 1: the Vikings won rather handily. Mike Wapshaw from Vikings dot com,
Speaker 1: thank you very much for taking us behind a aemy
Speaker 1: lines presented by Gatorade here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, guys, Glenn. We've got a little issue

Speaker 1: Logan out. In our next segment, we'll we all expect
Speaker 1: bo Allen to move from Bob's Disk Furniture's lounge chairs
Speaker 1: into the starting lineup shore and we'll get some destiny
Speaker 1: destiny vieo. Yeah. So when we return to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: a little progress report on an undrafted player who suddenly
Speaker 1: has a key role in the Eagles defense. Their legend
Speaker 1: is legendary. They've seen the end zone more often than
Speaker 1: any other duo in history. They are professional football player watchers.

Speaker 1: Our final segment on this Thursday, Dave Spiedero Glenn mac
Speaker 1: Now at Eagles three sixty. We've got some great stuff
Speaker 1: for you over the weekend. A kickoff show at noon
Speaker 1: postgame show presented by Rico after the game. Not a
Speaker 1: must win game according to you, not a must win game.
Speaker 1: I didn't say yeah, I mean not a must win game,
Speaker 1: but because mathematically right, But you get that much. You
Speaker 1: have to turn it around. These next five games are
Speaker 1: against very tough opponents. I think there's only one team,
Speaker 1: the Giants, that isn't above five hundred right now. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to win at least a few of these.
Speaker 1: It would be very nice at home after this losing
Speaker 1: streak to turn it around now. Must win no important
Speaker 1: for October, you bet. And to turn it around, the
Speaker 1: Eagles defense must play a whole lot better than it
Speaker 1: did in Washington last Sunday, and to do so, the
Speaker 1: defensive line must dominate without Benny Logan bo Allen starts.
Speaker 1: So who's the backup tackle for the Eagles with Benny
Speaker 1: Logan out? Funny that you should ask that his name
Speaker 1: is Destiny Viejo, not drafted, suddenly a big part of
Speaker 1: the picture here. He's got to come up big on
Speaker 1: today for the Eagles, and he's the subject of our
Speaker 1: Progress reported with I Grease and Mike quick Dude. Progress
Speaker 1: Report brings us to undrafted rookie free agent out of
Speaker 1: Washington Stay. Destiny Vyout deepensive tackle should see a little
Speaker 1: more playing time this week with Benny Logan. Ben banged
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Talk to me about him, Well,
Speaker 1: players know who can play. I remember asking Fletcher Cox
Speaker 1: in the second week, what guys do you think are
Speaker 1: gonna make the squad? In your room? He talked about
Speaker 1: Destiny Vyo where we got our introduction to him on
Speaker 1: a Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Big play he
Speaker 1: made here late in the game against Jay Cutler. Gonna
Speaker 1: do a good job against the double team, fights off
Speaker 1: of it. And the thing that I like about this
Speaker 1: kid when you watch him on film is that he's
Speaker 1: always given a second and third effort. He's on the ground,
Speaker 1: gets up, strips the ball from color. That's a big turnover. Late, Nigga,
Speaker 1: I'm motor, relentless. He takes him not just the double team,
Speaker 1: but the second guy, the halfback coming out of the
Speaker 1: backfield before making that stop. Watch him here against the Redskins.
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about an undrafted kid, so technique isn't
Speaker 1: always perfect. Still needs to work on some of those
Speaker 1: things a little high here. But the thing that I
Speaker 1: like is that he's battling. He realizes this is his
Speaker 1: gap responsibility, does his job there that allows the defender
Speaker 1: to going there to that gap, but the running back
Speaker 1: bounces again. Violt not quitting on the play, continuing makes
Speaker 1: a big tackle here. He understands he's gonna fight every
Speaker 1: snap and he doesn't stuck until the whistle blows. I
Speaker 1: like that. The thing I like about it. He makes
Speaker 1: the most of the minimal opportunities that he gets out there.
Speaker 1: You watch him here now this is a play a
Speaker 1: reverse to Jamison Crowder, and you watch how he gets
Speaker 1: off the ball. First of all, he destroys Brandon Shirf there.
Speaker 1: That's the first round draft that he's destroying. Does a
Speaker 1: great job there to get the reverse coming back here,
Speaker 1: you're gonna see Michael Kendricks makes this play. Now they
Speaker 1: blow the whistle and his dead. But we all saw
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder is not down. And then we watch destiny
Speaker 1: its destiny coming across the field again, about second effort,
Speaker 1: never giving up on a playoff. They don't blow to whistle.
Speaker 1: He's making the tackle getting him out of bows there again.
Speaker 1: Its reps to an increase this week with Benny Logan
Speaker 1: being banged up a little bit. I think we got
Speaker 1: we may have found a nice little gym here. And Destiny,
Speaker 1: by what a great name for a guy who just
Speaker 1: doesn't stop. Well, listen to your name is Destiny. You
Speaker 1: had better be physical. Well that's all you need to
Speaker 1: know about Destiny Vaejo. He's making progress. He's a talented kid.
Speaker 1: And you know, in the big picture here Glenn with
Speaker 1: Benny Logan in the final year of his contract, should
Speaker 1: he not sign, we don't know if you will, players
Speaker 1: like Destiny Vaejo become very prominent. Oh, it's the same
Speaker 1: thing with Big V. If Destiny's the other ving, you
Speaker 1: got to you gotta see if this kid can play,
Speaker 1: because you have to see know what you have moving
Speaker 1: forward and know what flexibility you have. A V on
Speaker 1: the defensive line and a V on the offensive line.
Speaker 1: V for victory. That's a good day for all I
Speaker 1: know beyond that is it'll be real nice from Benny
Speaker 1: Logan comes. Yeah, we'll be all right. What are we
Speaker 1: have in store for you here on Philadelphia Eagles dot
Speaker 1: com and our official app, it's our amrossos on the
Speaker 1: menu segment for you in crunch time, when Dale Smallwood,
Speaker 1: the big playmaker sits down with Alex Smith. We like that, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: great return. Doug Peterson is final press briefing of the
Speaker 1: week and Joe Dicamer in studio with me for Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty. Amrosos the reason Philly sandwiches are so famous.
Speaker 1: Final thoughts from you, Glenn, as I bid sayon RSU
Speaker 1: on Eagles three sixty this week, I think it's really
Speaker 1: on the defense this week because Minnesota's defense, excuse me,
Speaker 1: is so good that for the Eagles to put up
Speaker 1: more than twenty is gonna be tough. So I think
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense is going to have to really come
Speaker 1: up and have that big day. Keep it a low
Speaker 1: scoring game and you can win this thing. Okay, no turnovers,
Speaker 1: minimal penalties, conversions, win special teams against a really good
Speaker 1: special teams group. Yeah, and the Eagles special teams has
Speaker 1: been great. Everybody thinks low scoring game, which means it'll
Speaker 1: be thirty five of course. Glenn MacNell, Dave Spidaro, thanks
Speaker 1: for joining us today on Eagles three sixty. Have yourselves
Speaker 1: are great? Eagles dead
