WEBVTT - Eagles 360: Putting The Brakes On Brady

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Be welcome you a needle three sixty Dames to their

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a Eagles insider along with Plan Mac. Now it's a Thursday,

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 1>and a Thursday in an NFL Weekland reminds me of

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of the feeling you have in spring team getting

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. Anything's possible. Whatever's happened in the past

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>is in the past. First start, it's beautiful feeling at all.

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>That's sure. Eagles Patriots Sunday. It also helped rise up

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and save the season. Let's start with the first part.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It also helps that they now haven't played since a

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>week ago Thursday, so you can really push that way

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>back in the background and try to look ahead. Hey,

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>what do you say? Anything is possible? Yes, anything is possible.

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles of one, as we talked about on Tuesday

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and major upset days, and if they were to win,

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>this would be a terrific upset. I will say this,

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>every time we've had the chance to see Tom Brady

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 1>four and all against the Eagles in his career in practice,

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, the week that the Eagles spent up there,

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the week that the Patriots spent down here. Anytime you

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.559
<v Speaker 1>see Tom Brady, you just reminded of just how remarkable

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>he is, how efficient he is, how perfect he is

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>as the quarterback, as the face of your franchise, as

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>the absolute role model that every team would love to have.

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a man crush, no doubt. But I'm sure that

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>every man has a man crush on Tom Brady. Yeah. Well, listen,

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>we came from Chip Kelly's news conference earlier today in

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>which somebody said to him, the Patriots seemed to win

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>when Dion Lewis gets hurt and amun when guys come

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and go, how do they do it? And Chip Kelly said,

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady's not hurt, right, and that's it. As long

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>as he is, they are, and as long as Belichick

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>as the coach, you can grab forty seven guys off

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the street and they'll probably beat you. And the spinnarrow

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>mantra of the NFL is about quarterbacks and coaching, and

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots have the best coach and the best quarterback,

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and they certainly have the most success in the last

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 1>twenty years in the NFL. We watch they get to

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>today on Eagles three sixty. We've got some bold predictions

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>from mister Glenn Macnow we've got the voice of the

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles Merrill Reese in and just a bit. First

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>things first, let's get you caught up with everything happening

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>on this sunny Thursday in South Philadelphia. Hi everyone, I'm

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update. Today

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>was the final day of media availability for the week

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>as the Eagles get set for Sunday afternoons matchup with

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the New England Patriots. Today we heard from both head

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 1>coach Chip Kelly and running back to Marco Murray on

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 1>what it is that makes Patriots quarterback Tom Brady so successful.

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it really just speaks to how

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>good a football player of Tom is, you know, and

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that the fact that they've had a lot of moving

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>pieces around him. You know that for them, it's that

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 1>next man up mentality, which it really helps when he's

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the guy pulling a trigger because he really is an

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>orchestra leader out there in terms of directing protections, changing routes,

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>changing everything. You know, he's been in that offense since

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>he's been in the league. I mean, just his passion

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>for the game, you know, where he's very enthusiastic about

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the game. You know, whether it's a good player of

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>bad play, you know, I think no, guys or no,

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>once you step in that huttle, you gotta know, bring

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>up your level of intensity with him. And obviously he's

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a leader of that team. He's been, you know for

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a while, so I mean that's something that you respect

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>about him. Meanwhile, Mary also spoke about the importance of

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles running the ball with success on first and

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.839
<v Speaker 1>second down as they look to stay out of third

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and long situations. Against New England. He had positive yards,

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>positive yards on you know, first down, positive yards on

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the second now and then you know, you know, third

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and short, third and thirty four, you know, to make

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it easier for us and easier for the play call

0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a system. So I think it all has to do

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>is just ask ballplayers and though you know, that's that's

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>what it comes down to. And finally, a quick injury

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>update here from the Novicare Complex. It appears as if

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Sam Bradford and titand Zecher it should be good

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to go on Sunday barring any setbacks. Meanwhile, the status

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>of running back Ryan Matthews is a bit more up

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>in the air as he continues to go through the

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>leagus concussion protocol. Would they just tell me when they're cleared,

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>So I don't I don't know what grades. I don't

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>even know if there are grades. I know sometimes with

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a shoulder there's a grade one, grade two, grade three.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I just know he's in the concussion concussion protocol and

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>when they clear him to play, then he's he'll come back.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's not any issue, especially in that with that

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>type of injury, that will be a forced issue by

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>any stretch of the imagination. You know, you want to

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure that the health and safety of the player

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>is first and foremost. And when they say he's clared

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to go, he's clearer to goals. And that will wrap

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>things up for this edition of the three sixty Update.

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.320

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>In a bit we'll talk with the voice of the

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphi Eagles, Mary Rees. Sue took out a he's a

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>paper glen and said, well, I'll let you hear what

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>he says, but I'm not sure he thinks the Patriots

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>are all that on paper. Do they play the games

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>on pad. No near as I know. They play the

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>game on grass at Foxbook. That's right. No, it's not

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>on grass in Foxborough. It's on artificial turn. Oh, that's

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>right in Foxborough. And maybe so maybe that helps Merrill's point.

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>When we return to Eagles three sixty, Chris McPherson goes

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>behind enemy lines to take a look deep down at

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the ten and one New England Patriots. Injuries or not,

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:37.000

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>mcnow time for us to step aside. Chris McPherson behind

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>enemy Lines with Ben Voland of the Boston Globe. Hello, everyone,

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and once again it's time to go behind enemy lines

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com, presented by Gatorade and

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>my special guest this week is the phenomenal beat reporter

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>from the Boston Globe, none other than Ben Voland, and

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you can follow at Twitter at ben Volan. Ben First

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and foremost, you look at this Patriots offense led by

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, number one in the NFL and passing, how

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>exactly is he doing it with so many injuries on

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that side of the football. Well, a lot of his

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>stats were put up when the Patriots were healthy when

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>he did have Julian Edelman and Gronk and Dion Lewis

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and Danny Amondola. The last few weeks it's been much

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>more of a grind and they escaped with a one

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>point win against the Giants. Obviously, last week they lost

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Broncos. In the game, really they still should

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>have won. They really kind of collapsed there in the

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, had some bad penalties go against them. So

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady not right now the number one passing offense

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>in the league over the course of the season he

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>has been, but still getting it done. You know, he

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>did an incredible job of getting them into field goal

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>range at the end of the game. Fired an absolute

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>laser to Brandon LaFell. You know, they're they're getting guys

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>like Brandon Bolden and James White involved in the run game.

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>So it hasn't been always pretty. It hasn't been like

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the season, where you know, scoring forty

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>points was was a given for them and they were

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>just blowing teams out. But Tom Brady still pretty decisive

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>with the football, still pretty good quarterback, even when he's

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>gotten not his best targets out there. All right, Ben

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>so Julian Edman is definitely out for this game. Doesn't

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 1>look like Rob Gronkowski will play. Some other players like

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Danny Amondola, their stats will be questionable. So who is

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>an X factor on the offense? You mentioned some names

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 1>there like James Way of the backfield, Brandon Bolden, scotch

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Chandler at tight end. Which of those guys do you

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>think will be the X factor in this Eagles Patriots matchup?

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, first I look at Scott Chandler. This is

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a guy who is a free agent. They signed him

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>in the offseason, stole him from Buffalo, and everyone thought

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>he'd be this great red zone presence. He's six foot seven.

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady's just gonna throw him jump balls and he's

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna score ten touchdowns like Gronk. And he really hasn't

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>chipped in the way that we expected him too. He

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>has not had too much of an impact on the

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>stat sheet. He does have three touchdowns this year, but

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>doesn't always fight for the football. But but Tom Brady

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>had a comment after the game, We're gonna need him

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>one way or the other. Now he's gonna have to

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>step in and be a big part of this offense.

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>They threw him the ball eleven times the other night.

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I believe he came down with it five times, had

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>about fifty or sixty yards, So he can make some plays.

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna need him to step up even more then

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the other guys. I'm looking out into the two running backs,

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Bolden and James White. I was watching the Eagles

0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>game against the Lions on Thanksgiving, and I know Eagles

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>fans probably want to race that one from their memory,

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>but I thought the Lions running backs actually did a

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>real nice job, not only running the ball, but catching

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the ball out of the backfield against the Eagles linebackers.

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>So I think the Patriots might try to take advantage

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of that matchup as well. Try to get James White

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and Brandon Bolden matched up against those linebackers Dmko Ryan's

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Michael Kendricks and then see if they can win someone

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 1>on one matchups. So you're right, No Edelman, no Gronk.

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll see about Daniy Amendola. He did return to practice

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>today and he seems to think that he could play

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>this Sunday, so they might get a little bit healthier.

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>But they're really gonna have to count on their backups.

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>This week, Ben, let's look at the defensive side of

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 1>the football. You know, I'm used to hearing about Richard

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Seymour or Vince Wilfork, but there are some really talented

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>players on that side of football, and I feel like

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that that side of the football is a little bit

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>underappreciated because of just how good Tom Brady has been

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.680
<v Speaker 1>this year. I would definitely agree with that. When you

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about the Patriots, you always think of Brady and

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Edelman and Gronk. Defense, it's kind of a no name defense,

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 1>not too many big star, you know, big name players,

0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>but they're excellent there, number three in the league in

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 1>points allow this year. Again when healthy, they've been a

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>little dinged up lately. Jamie Collins has missed the last

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>four games with a mystery illness, and he's a terrific

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 1>young linebacker. Covers the running back out of the backfield,

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 1>so Hobie Key and stopping to Marco Murray. If he

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>does in fact play this week, which I believe he will.

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>He also goes sideline to sideline, chases tacklers down. He's

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>an excellent blitzer a former safety, so he's good in coverage.

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Jamie Collins is a real dynamic player, and this defense

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>really could use him back. His running made Dante Hidetower

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>equally impressive, a really good young linebacker. Both these guys

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I think need to get more publicity for the Pro

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Bowl and the All Pro teams. They've been excellent, really

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the heart and soul of his defense. We'll see if

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 1>he plays this week. He injured his knee against the

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Broncos last week, but their front seven has been excellent.

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Chandler Jones has ten and a half sacks this year.

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Alan Branch filling in for Vince Wilfork, has been a

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>tremendous run stoffer. He's really quietly been the anchor of

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>the defensive line right in the middle there, kind of

0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 1>like your version of Benny Logan. I guess a ball

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>share a signing from from Cleveland. He's been a great player.

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So they just have a lot of versatile young pass rushers,

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Rob Ninkovich as well. All these guys

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>high tower Collins, Nankovich, Chandler Jones. They can rush the passer,

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 1>they can drop off. It gives Matt Patricia, the defensive coordinator,

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>so many options in terms of his zone blitzes and

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 1>the coverages that they call Malcolm Butler the cornerback, the

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl Hero. He's been a great fill in for

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Darrell Reevas this year. So top to bottom again, they

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>don't have these big names, but a lot of guys

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 1>who are really having excellent seasons. It's amazing to see

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Butler not be a one hit wonder so to speak,

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>and really thrive in that Patriots defense. Ben voland from

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles dot com. I wonder does it ever get boring?

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you think covering the Patriots and marveling at the

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>effectiveness all those winning the Sands are ever kind of bored?

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Although the Boston is really the Red Sox first, the

0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Bruins second, and then the Patriot. Yeah. Who, maybe we're

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.079
<v Speaker 1>behind the Celtics for a lot of years. It's a

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>very weird city. I lived there for some years where football,

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>at least when I lived there. Of course, this is

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>before they win the Super Bowls was never the thing

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.439
<v Speaker 1>at the Red at the Red Sex, at the Patriots

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 1>championship parade a few years ago. The lead chant was

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Yankee suck Wow. That's what they care about up there.

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 1>When the Eagles win the Super Bowl, that will not

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 1>be the lead chant. The lead chant will be thankful,

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>thankfully and happy. Am I still alive? I'm here to

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.720

<v Speaker 1>us his bold predictions the four and seven Eagles and

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the ten and one Patriots. Thanks thanks for the set

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>up there, Dave. This first one is bold. Yes, this

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>is you gotta go bold, right, So here you go.

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles will average five yards a carry in the

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>rushing game against the New England Patriots. How about that?

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Wha wall? What? Dante hi Tower is out? He's the

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 1>best run stopper. Jamie Collins may or may not be

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 1>back this week. The Broncos slash the Patriots on the

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 1>ground last week, Lashawn McCoy look very good against him

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the week before. The Eagles will run the ball effectively.

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And wait, wait, there's more. Kenyan Barner will be part

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>of the process. How about that. I believe that Kenyan

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Barnes got a little juice. There you go, all right?

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Number two, Gronk is out, Edelman is likely out, or

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Edelman is out, Dan Lewis is out, A Mendola is

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 1>likely out. We'll find out how that plays out. So

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 1>because the Patriots have to find someone likely here or

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>every week some guy you never heard of. You may

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 1>have heard of him, But this week, the guy who's

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna haunt your nightmares is six foot seven tight end

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Scott Chandler. He's a tough matchup for the Eagles. Gronk

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>is out, of course, and he is going to fill in,

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and Brady is gonna find him and he's going to

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>be the guy. After the game, you're going, how does

0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Scott Chandler get all those fantasy football points against US?

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I hear I hear your head shake, and I don't

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>see it, but I hear it. I say this to that,

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the taller they all, the harder they fall. Hopefully it's

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 1>not falling into the end zone. Taller they are, the

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>harder they fall. Well, if you shop him rate, let

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:15.439
<v Speaker 1>me give you this play. I did pick him up

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.919
<v Speaker 1>from my fantasy football team this week. Here, yeah, how

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 1>dare me? All right? Number three? You'll like this one.

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a good day for Jordan Matthews. Slot

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.239
<v Speaker 1>receivers have twenty seven catches against the Patriots in their

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>last five games. Let's give Matthews a minimum of six.

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's give him one hundred yards for only the third

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.879
<v Speaker 1>time this year, and let's say that Jordan Matthews has

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 1>a very effective day against the Patriots defense. Okay, that

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 1>is your bold prediction Part one. That's three of his

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>five bold predictions. The other two come your way on

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Sunday our kickoff show, and that begins at two twenty five,

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I believe, or two thirty on Sunday. We covered all

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the way through Eagles Patriots. It's a four twenty five kickoff.

0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>No longer a nationally televised game, it is, in fact

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 1>a regional broadcast Glenn. As long as we get it, yep,

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>we get it, We'll watch it. And the Eagles I'm

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 1>sticking with my prediction twenty three the new in Patriots faulteen. Okay,

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>back to what's happening here on Eagles three sixty on

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 1>by the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles, Merrill Reese. This

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 1>segment presented to you by Wah Wah. We're glad to

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.360
<v Speaker 1>have you, Merrill. But I gotta start with this Eagles.

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 1>At one point here a few weeks ago, four and four,

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>looking ready to make the move to the top of

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the NFC East. Four and seven. Now, what has happened

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.399
<v Speaker 1>to this team? It is so hard for me to

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:27.879
<v Speaker 1>figure this whole thing out. I mean, not only with

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a four and four, but they followed that overtime win

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:35.120
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas with a terrific first quarter against the Miami Dolphins,

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and then it has been a free form. I never

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>expected this. You look at this team. Yes there are

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>some injuries, a couple of key injuries, but nowhere near

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the kind of injuries they should affect the team to

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the point where they have been just totally blown out

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and embarrassed in these last two games. And I'm not

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 1>saying that this is the reason, but it does coincide

0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>with the injuries suffered by Sam Bradford in the Miami game,

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Eagles leading that game when he was hurt. Since in

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the offense, we talked a lot about the defense, and

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the defense has been criticized for giving up ninety points

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>in the last two games, but the offense, Yeah, and

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the offense hasn't performed well either. Should Sam come back

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and he looks like he's on track to play on Sunday.

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.199
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean for the offense? Well, I think

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it gives you a lift when there's a

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 1>change the position at the most important position in the game.

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I thought the Mark Sanchez gave them a

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 1>bit of a lift when he came in in that

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Miami game and moved the bowl. And except for that ending,

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that horrendous ending with the end zone interception, end of

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 1>their hopes. I thought there was a lift there. Now

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Sam comes back, he can't wait to get back on

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the field, and I think he's going to play well.

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:47.240
<v Speaker 1>The Patriots on paper, on paper, are not a very

0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 1>good team right now. And I say that on paper

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 1>because they have been decimated by injuries. They've lost all

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>of their go to wide receivers. Edelman is out. I

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know that Ammon Dola is coming back this week.

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Rob Rankowski, who is the best tight end in all

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 1>of football, he is apparently out. I say apparently because

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>who knows with him, But they say that he's not

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>expected to play for a couple of weeks. On defense,

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 1>they've lost Jamie Collins, They've lost Dante high Tower. I mean,

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:19.680
<v Speaker 1>how many blows could a team sustain? And yet there

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 1>are two people, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady who are

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the great equalizers, and every time those two are at

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a game, you prepare for a very very difficult game. So,

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 1>speaking of the head coach, Chip Kelly is the one

0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:36.440
<v Speaker 1>responsible here. He's the head coach during the good times

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the team times that are not so good. What are

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 1>you looking for from Chip? I don't know. That I'm

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 1>looking for anything specifically from Chip, I think collectively for

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>the team to say, look, we've been down, we have

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 1>been horrible. We have got to put everything into this game.

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:57.160
<v Speaker 1>We've got to do. Chip talks about training, He said,

0:22:57.480 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 1>our goal is to get better every day at training.

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>This team has to make gigantic, gigantic jumps. You ask

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:06.440
<v Speaker 1>me about the quarterback Dave, And there's been a lot

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:10.640
<v Speaker 1>of talk, both offensively and defensively about the schemes. Put

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 1>those aside. Put those aside, because unless you can improve

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>dramatically in fundamentals, unless the blocking is way better, unless

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:25.400
<v Speaker 1>people start to tackle the running backs, unless they start

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 1>to cover the receivers, the same results are going to

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.679
<v Speaker 1>occur all over again. So as we talk about all

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.399
<v Speaker 1>those other things, but it gets down to can you

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>play solid football on both sides of the ball. You

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:40.640
<v Speaker 1>wonder does that come from the coaches? Does it come

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.480
<v Speaker 1>from the players? And in terms of the effort, desire,

0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>urgency that they give, we've seen it before. We're talking

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 1>about effort and urgency. I don't think there's a coach

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.920
<v Speaker 1>on the staff who doesn't go out there and give

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.959
<v Speaker 1>everything he can and put everything he can into the

0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 1>film sessions, into the practice sessions, into the relationships with

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the players, getting them ready and prepared as best they

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>possibly can. I think it's the players to say, you

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>know what, this season isn't overs. I know a lot

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>of bad things have been said about us. All the

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 1>critics have been shouting at us, you know what we

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:18.680
<v Speaker 1>deserve it. Let's show them that there is life left

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in this football team. I don't like to talk about

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs right now because this team hasn't earned the

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 1>playoff consideration. But the fact is, this team is only

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 1>one game out in what I'm referring to as the

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.919
<v Speaker 1>NFC least. They're a game behind the Giants. They're a

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:39.439
<v Speaker 1>game behind the Redskins, and yet you know that they've

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>beaten the Giants, and you know that they should have

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 1>beaten the Redskins lost that one at the end. So

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 1>if they can somehow bounce back this week against a

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.920
<v Speaker 1>depleted Patriots team, you know what I remember two thousand

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and seven, the Eagles marched into New England. I believe

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:58.359
<v Speaker 1>it was a Sunday night game, which they were. They

0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 1>were big, big under dogs, and their quarterback Donovan McNabb

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 1>was out and AJ theely brought them within three points

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 1>of an upset, so it can happen. I'm not I

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:12.680
<v Speaker 1>will not go there saying well, ho hum, it's going

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to be lost. Number eight. I go there, and you know,

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 1>if you ask me. On the flight back from Detroit, yeah,

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.399
<v Speaker 1>I was hanging my head with everybody else. It was

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>a blow to see this team lose, not only lose,

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 1>but lose an embarrassing in fashion, a national embarrassment that day.

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:32.520
<v Speaker 1>But you get back from that, you start to put

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 1>together some of the positives, and we're all football fans

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>at heart, and we all love this team and hope

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>springs eternal, and hopefully this Sunday we will see something

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>that nobody expects, but something that can bring this team

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:50.120
<v Speaker 1>right back to life. And that is the key word,

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:53.640
<v Speaker 1>hopeful that the Eagles can pull off something well shocking.

0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:57.440
<v Speaker 1>In Foxboro, Massachusetts, Merle Reese One on one in Studio

0:25:57.560 --> 0:25:59.920

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>with Glenn mcnoll. Minor correction my score that I'm going

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 1>with here four thirteen, not twenty three. Fourteen Eagles win

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 1>by eleven nine. I'm not backing off of it. Well,

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>that certainly affects you down. Everybody. Everybody's thinking about playing

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 1>this game, think about how to do it entirely different, Oh,

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Glenn Glen Glenn Well. One of the Eagles bright spots

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 1>this season has been the play of the defensive line

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 1>as a group, and one of those players, Cedric Thornton,

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 1>has come a long way in his career and he

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 1>is the subject of our progress report. Mike Quick and

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I Crease the Game Planned Show, they talk a little

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 1>defensive line with Cedric Thornton. Alright, Mike, the progress report

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.919
<v Speaker 1>brings us to Eagles defensive tackle Cedric Thornton. The running

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 1>game stellar the first half of the season. Last couple

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of weeks struggled a little bit, but we need the

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 1>guys to get back to plan this way, dominating the

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:45.320
<v Speaker 1>line of scrimmage like we see, said Thornton Dorton, Like

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was out a couple of weeks with

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that injury, and now he's back and he's playing really well.

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Love the way he handles getting down the line of

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>scrimmage and keeping the bodies off of him, use his

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 1>hand real well. They spent a lot of time working

0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 1>on at hand to hand combat and it's paying off.

0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 1>There's another example or that Cedric Thornton. Here, you see

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 1>him lined up over the tackle. He realizes that he

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 1>got this tight end outside of him, the possible wham

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>block there, the great job of attacking the blocker more

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:13.720
<v Speaker 1>importantly setting the edge and making it really defined for

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the linebackers where they need to fit. And then he

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 1>gets off the block. That's how you play defense. You

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>don't trade one for one. As Jim Johnson used to say.

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Your job is to do your assignment and then get

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 1>off the block and make the play. It's good team defense.

0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>He with power, he takes on the tight end and

0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>then he keeps this inside arm free so that he

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 1>can get away and he can make the stuff. I

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 1>really like this play here. You don't get a stretch

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>run here to our left. The offense is right. You

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:41.719
<v Speaker 1>got said Thornton over here lined up on the tackle. Now,

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 1>everybody has a gap responsibility to them and typically when

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 1>you have a breakdown and defense you give a big run,

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 1>somebody is out of their gap responsibility. Watch, said Thorton. Here,

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>he's responsible for the sea gap. We got Connor on

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the outside, and these gaps will be defined when the

0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>linebackers get there. But what Cedric does is again he's

0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:02.440
<v Speaker 1>setting edge, he's standing in his gap, and he forces

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 1>this run because of his penetration. Back here to Benny Logan,

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 1>who does a great job getting off the block and

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 1>began attack. See to me, that's just beautiful. Look at

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 1>this wall and every you talk about run fits. Everybody

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 1>is fitting a gap, getting a hat in there and

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 1>making a stop. Good team defense. You saw this on

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a regular basis the first half of the season. Like

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I said, the last couple of weeks, they struggled a

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Yep. They got to get back to playing

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:27.280
<v Speaker 1>run defense this way, and it starts with the guys

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>up front, like Seti Torti. Thanks so much. Boys. We've

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:32.959
<v Speaker 1>had a week here of trying to raise the spirits.

0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest of everybody here, everybody. There's been a

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 1>very tough week. But now let's talk about this game. Glint.

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:41.400
<v Speaker 1>How do the Eagles win this game? I know it's

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a it's a it's a David and golitha thing. I

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:46.040
<v Speaker 1>get that. How can Eagles win well, you take away

0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Brady's weapons, which are reduced weapons. You try to do that.

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>You try to take out that six foot seven Scott Chandler.

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 1>You put a pass rush on Brady. Their offensive line

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 1>is pretty battered up. You know, he doesn't like to

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 1>be hit. So you do that, you don't turn the

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 1>ball over and Leagles have and what created turnover in

0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 1>three weeks, you get a few of those, and that's

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 1>how you go out and win this thing in the road.

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Two things I want to just say. One is keep

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 1>an eye on the officiating crew. Pete Morelli's crew has

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.560
<v Speaker 1>been involved in a few controversies this year, so you

0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 1>want to just kind of see if anything happens there.

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 1>And the second thing, and you and I talked about

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 1>this earlier in the week. Sam Bradford is back, we

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 1>presume playing, and it's such evaluating Sam Bradford for the

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:28.040
<v Speaker 1>rest of the year. It's such an important part of

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>what the Eagles have to do now. Yeah, no doubt.

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>The quarterback position still a huge, huge piece of the

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 1>puzzle for the rest of this season and for years

0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to come. Could be Sam could be We don't know.

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>What we learn over the course the rest of the year,

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:43.479
<v Speaker 1>so it is still important to evaluate what's coming up.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Our Amrosso's on the menu segment tomorrow, we've got Chris

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 1>mcpearson in studios some key matchups as we talk about

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles and the Patriots on the final day of

0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:55.840
<v Speaker 1>preparations for the Eagles. We've got some stats only from

0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith. And you know what, Glenn, I think the

0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:02.280
<v Speaker 1>numbers in this case, they're gonna kind of skew toward

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots. Siste let's break got twenty. Yeah, it's pretty good.

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:11.400
<v Speaker 1>And then Crunchtime Chris McPherson hosting Crunch Time with quarterback

0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Ad Lewis number three on the depth chart, but number

0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:18.280
<v Speaker 1>one with Chris this week for Glenn mcnow, Dave Spadaro,

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:20.880
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for joining us here on Eagles

0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 1>three sixty. Have yourselves a great Eagles Day.
