WEBVTT - Eagles 360: November 7 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.640 It's the day after here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.000 Welcome the Eagles three sixty Dave Fidero and Brian Westbrook 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.400 the Hall of Famer and another tough loss for the 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.640 Eagles on Sunday, and we're here to talk about just 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.800 that and the Eagles picture at four and four at 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.640 the midway point here, Brian, first, your reaction to a 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.599 loss at the New York Giants that drops the Eagles too, 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.159 oh and three in this NFC East, another case of 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.920 just close enough to lose. I mean, it becomes frustrating. 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.440 And when you talk about as a team that you're 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.760 just close enough to lose, you look at all the 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.480 missed opportunities this team had yesterday, the errors and judgment 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.040 of some of the things on the back end of 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.240 our defense. These are the things that good teams, those 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.520 mistakes they don't make. Unfortunately, we're making those mistakes. We 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.080 have to be better, we have to coach better, we 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.080 have to play better. And until we do that, we 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.000 will continue to struggle. Yeah, and the schedule certainly doesn't 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.319 get any easier with the red hot Atlanta Falcons coming 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.840 to town on Sunday. We've got a lot to get 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.039 you on the show. First, though, let's get you caught 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.639 up with everything happening in Philadelphia today. Doug Peterson meeting 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.679 the media. It's our Eagles three sixty update with Alex Smith. 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.920 Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith here with your three sixty update. Well, 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.800 the Eagles lost another tough NFC East matchup yesterday as 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.120 they fell to oh and three in the division and 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.440 four and four overall. After Sunday's twenty eight to twenty 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.680 three loss at the hands of the New York Giants. 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.360 Today we heard from Eagles head coach Doug Peterson, and 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.160 among the many topics that he discussed was the Eagles 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.760 running back rotation, where he explained that Darren Sproles is 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.800 likely the number one back moving forward. Well, right now 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.240 you have by stats and by what you're seeing, I 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.200 would say that Darren is is the number one back 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.920 right now. You know, Ryan is still a big part. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.400 You saw the touchdown running head yesterday and Kenyon had 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.160 a nice run when Dell had a nice run. So 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.280 it's still it's still a little bit of the running 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.240 back by committee. Obviously we haven't hung our hat on 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.920 one guy, but we tend to lean more towards Darren Sprowles. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.560 It is hard to take him off the field right now. 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.440 Peterson was also asked about the Eagles wide receiver situation, 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.440 specifically in regards to rookie Bryce Treggs, who caught two 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.680 passes for sixty nine yards on Sunday and nearly broke 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.120 free for a touchdown on a fifty eight yard pass 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.720 from Carson Wentz and Doug Peterson said today that he 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.240 expects Tregs to be more involved in the offense moving forward. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.840 You know, I think that that obviously, he went into 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.880 this game, he was very excited to play, obviously the 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.959 first time to be active and made He had two 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.600 big catches for us, obviously, the explosive play down the field, 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.040 and I think I think you'll see, you know, more 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:58.880 of a role for him, you know, in the next 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.200 at least in the coming weeks. Peterson also gave an 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.760 injury update today, saying that left guard Alan Barber, who 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.560 has been dealing with the hamstring injury, is still being 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.200 monitored and they'll see if he's able to go during 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.640 this week in practice. The good news for the Eagles 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.480 is that defensive tackle Benny Logan, who has been dealing 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.679 with a groin injury. Is scheduled to practice on Wednesday, 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.680 so we'll see if he's able to go throughout the 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.280 week and then play in Sunday's game against Atlanta. In 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.400 which or three sixty update, I'm Alex Smith Brian. Doug 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.240 Peterson is certainly in the spotlight here and after three 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.000 games when the Eagles were three and oh, everybody praised 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.160 him for his aggressive play calleague for going for it 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.760 on fourth down. The Eagles at one point five or 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.280 five on their fourth down conversions during the season. That 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.320 has changed. How does Doug handle it? How do you 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.120 think he's handled it so far? It's always a tough 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.400 spot as a coach. You know, when you make the 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.440 decision and you go for it on fourth down, if 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.640 you get it, of course it's a great decision. If 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.360 you don't convert on fourth down, then it's a terrible decision. 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.200 And so as a coach, you just have to make 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.680 the right decision, the decision that you think is right 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.720 in every game, every situation is different. If you don't 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.840 think their offense can come back and score against you, 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.520 then you probably want to go again go for it 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.320 on fourth down. If you're a little bit scared and 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.480 worry of their offense, then you probably want to kick 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.599 the field goal and take those types of points. You know, 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.320 if you're the coach, you know when you win, everyone's 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.919 praising you. When you lose and no one loves you, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.760 everyone's blaming, everyone wants you out of town. That's just 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.640 the price, that's just the cost of being a coach. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.720 Doug has to continue to be consistent, continue to teach 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.599 this team, and if he does that, I think he'll 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.039 be okay. He talks about going for it on fourth 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.560 downs as a way of showing confidence in his players. 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.160 Is not the case. Well, I think part of it 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.400 is playing. It does show the confidence that he has 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.800 in his players. The other part is that, you know, 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.200 if there's a negative side to it as well, if 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.479 you don't get it, then that confidence that you're trying 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.760 to instill in your guys it goes the other way. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.720 So dependulum does swing the other way. That's the hard 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.960 part about going for it on fourth down. And then 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.960 here's the other part. You're giving the ball to the 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.120 other team. You don't at any points, and they have 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.680 pretty decent field position and so they're starting going the 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.200 other way, in that confidence, that momentum that you were 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.400 trying to get the other team has it at this point, 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.039 good stuff. There so much more to get to on 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.359 Eagles three sixty. We're gonna look back at that loss 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.440 to the Giants, the offense, of course, the special team's breakdown, 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.000 and we'll also assess the Eagles at the midway point 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.200 of this twenty sixteen regular season. But when we returned 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.800 to Eagles three sixty, we start with Jim Schwartz and 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.880 his defense stung by some turnovers early. The Eagles couldn't 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.280 get stops when it counted in the third loss in 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.159 the NFC East for the Eagles this season. It's Eagles 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:45.479 three sixty. We're coming right back. Their legend is legendary. 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.159 They've seen the end zone more often than any other 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:53.880 duo in history. They are professional football player.

I'm duncan 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.680 we welcome you back? Its Eagles three sixty Dave Spidaro, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.840 Brian Westbrook, and we're talking about the defense in the 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.679 twenty eight to twenty three loss to the New York Giants. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.400 Disappointing Brian that the defensive line did not dominate the 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.400 line of scrimmage and really make things tough for relay manning. 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.040 We've said it since the beginning of the season. This 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.080 defense will go as this defensive line goes. If these 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.960 four front guys get pressure on the quarterback and change 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.920 things similar to the way that they did against Sam Bradford, 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.280 even though we blissed just a bit. If that defensive 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.880 front dominates the game, then it makes it easy on 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.800 Nolan Carroll, it makes it easy on Leota's McKelvin in 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.640 the back end. Unfortunately, they're not playing up to their 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.920 level that we need them to play. We started paying 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.240 these guys. They have to start playing the way that 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.440 they're getting paid. And there's no question that if you 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.840 don't win up front, a secondary that has been piecemeal 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.800 here a little bit in the offseason really struggles. Now 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:14.120 overall a pretty good job against Odell Beckham Junior ten 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.560 targets four catches, but two of those catches go to 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.280 the house as the Giants jump out to a fourteen 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.600 to nothing lead and then come back just a couple 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.480 of big drives there, one in the second half after 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.520 the Eagles scored to start the third quarter. Brian, this 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.600 defense relies so much on the front. Jim doesn't want 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.000 to blitz. But now you look ahead of just for 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.040 a moment here, we will shortly the Atlanta Falcons coming 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.520 to town, and it's the most dynamic passing attack in 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.240 the NFL. Jim's got his handsfuls this week. This week again, well, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.559 a couple things. You can't have the miscommunications on the 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.800 back end. That's the one thing, no matter who you're 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.880 playing against, if even if it was you know, Brian 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.000 Westbrook Flat football team, if you have miscommunicates on the 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.600 back end, you will always suffer. Now you talk about 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.040 this game coming up, you can't afford to send guys. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.520 You can't afford to send more than two guys of 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.440 blitzing because now you're taking guys out of coverage and 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.400 you have Julio Jones, Muhammed Sanu running down the field 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.280 and Matt Ryan has one of the best arms in 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.360 the league. You just can't afford to do that. So 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.880 it's going to be imperative that these front four find 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.120 the way to get the pressure on the quarterback and 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.400 Matt Matt Ryan will be there. He's one of those 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.280 guys that he can move around just a little bit, 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.079 but he will give me some opportunities to find him 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.400 six yards seven yards behind the center, and they have 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.080 to take advantage of that. On Sunday, the special teams 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.880 also had some ups and they had a big down. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.920 Darren Sprowles nearly took it to the house, which would 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.480 have set up franchise record. Should have cut it up inside, 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.280 but it's easy. I was sitting in the press box, 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.080 I'm thinking, this is so easy. Cut inside. Instead, he 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.640 stayed on the sideline and was stopped short. Ultimately, that 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.000 drive failed to produce any points, but a big play 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.000 happening for the Eagles in the second quarter, a field 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.760 goal block, a breakdown on the right side of the protection, 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.640 and Brian, you can't afford as we all talked about, 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.760 these fourth down opportunities, and we'll talk about that in 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.840 the next segment here, when you line up for a 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.800 field goal, it's not automatic. You've got to give Caleb 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.640 Sturgis the protection, and Eagles didn't do that. Missed opportunities Again, 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.720 missed opportunities will come back and haunt you at some point. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.600 You have to make sure that when you get if 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.400 you have the opportunity to score a field goal, you 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.640 have to score it, especially against a team that has 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.240 three good receivers like the Giants have and the quarterback 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.160 that's wanting to throw the ball down the field. You 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.280 can't miss those types of opportunities for this football team. 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.560 When you look at the team, we're a decent team, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.719 We're not great. You have a small window of opportunity, 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.240 a small window that you can't miss if you're If 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.439 you get outside of that window, then you then you 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.960 lose those types of opportunities. You lose football games and 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.160 missing field goes, getting blocked, those types of things, they 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.640 lose you football games. This team can't can't do that. Yeah, 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.000 there's certain benchmarks that the Eagles have to hit each 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.360 game and they're not hitting them, losing four of their 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.800 last five games. We've got more to get to here. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.439 On Eagles three sixty when we return, we're talking about 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.679 the offense.

On Sunday, once again, they moved 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.199 the football. They put up big yards. Carson Wentz a 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.280 career high in passing yards and passing attempts, but two 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.160 big turnovers early lead to New York's first fourteen points 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.840 and then late in the game where it all fell 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.719 apart again in the red zone. The Eagles fail from 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.160 first and ten on the seventeen yard line to put 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.920 the ball in the end zone. What's happening on third downs? 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.280 What's happening in the red zone? Well, on third downs 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.560 is easy if you stay on target or first and 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.079 second down. So now that you're a third and manageable, 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.360 we're talking about third and four or less. Now you 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.680 can't have a defense that doesn't understand whether you're going 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.000 to run the football or pass the football. That's an 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.640 effective third down situation, but you have to in order 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.280 to do that. In order to do that, you have 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.480 to be effective on first and second down. Unfortunately for 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.559 this football team, they're too many times they're in third 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.800 and long. You can't be in that situation repeatedly. Again, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.800 missed opportunities on first and second down will believe being 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.640 third and long and they can't afford to be in 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.200 those types of situations. Ryan, what's the key to scoring 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.800 touchdowns in the red zone. You have to have the targets. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.200 You have to have accurate throws. In the red zone 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.839 you have smaller windows, so those throws have to be 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.520 on target. They have to be absolutely accurate on the 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.120 really in the end zone. In the red zone, you 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.000 have to have lower throws. Those high throws are bad throws. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.000 You have to have lower throws. It was a situation 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.160 in the game where Carson was trying to get DGB 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.120 in the end zone. You threw the ball a little high. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.760 In that situation, you got to throw a low allow 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.960 him to use his body going towards the ground to 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.320 catch the football. Unfortunately, we weren't able to cap the 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.480 line there tell me what you've seen. If Carson wins 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.400 through eight games, the good, they're not so good, and 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.760 what he really needs to work on. You know, there's 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.400 been points in the game where he makes great throws, 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.400 I mean absolutely steps into his throw down the field 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.440 twenty yards great throws. Then there's other times where he 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.200 underthrows receivers. He has bad mechanics. He can be better. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.320 One of the things I saw with Nick Foles started 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.560 to struggle here a couple of years ago, was that 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.760 his cannocks got bad. Carson Wentz, as a young quarterback, 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.680 has to be very close to this quarterback coach, the 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.640 offensive coordinator to make sure that his mechanics stay good 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.040 even though he's struggling, even though he may get some 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.440 pressure here and there. His mechanics have to stay good 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.640 if he wants to be a quality quarterback. Brian, the 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.880 running game, which started out so well this season with 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.600 all four running backs getting touches, it's kind of been 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.920 hit or miss since then. And one of the players 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.800 who've certainly been hit or miss, Ryan Matthews, has a 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.600 nice touchdown run and then we don't hear anything from 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.880 him at all. What's your sense of what's going on 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.640 with Ryan consistency. I mean, I think when you start 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.680 dropping the football, induces very sensitive to that. He was 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.680 a guy that taught me when I first got here. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.280 If you don't hold him to the ball, you're going 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.720 to be on the bench. And unfortunately for Ryan Matthews, 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.480 he's had trouble holding onto the football, but being the 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.280 consistent players not only holding on to the ball, it's 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.200 about when you're in there blocking well, catching the ball 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.680 out of the backfield and running with power and passion 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.080 the way that we think that Ryan Matthews can. I 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.480 don't think we're getting that type of effort every single 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.400 down for Ryan Matthews, and until he does do is 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.680 going to keep him on the bench. The bright spot 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.360 in Sunday's loss was Bryce Treggs two catches. The big 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.960 fifty eight yard or speed is very apparent. As you 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.920 move forward with Bryce Treggs and you want to incorporate 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.360 him into the offense, and you understand that the defense 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.680 now has some tape on him, how can you use them? Well, 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.600 defense at this point, No Bryce Treggs comes in the game, 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.240 He's going deep. We have to we have to defend that. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.280 But that's a good thing. They know that he's going 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.320 to go deep. Now you can take a guy or 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.520 two away from that defense because Treggs is going to 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.360 go deep and we can slide zach Ertzon underneath him. 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:35.680 And they did that a couple of times in this 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.160 past game. I think if you do more things like that, 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.800 you continue to allow him to learn that route tree, 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:42.760 I think he could be an effective player. At least 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.960 he puts some pressure on the defense. They have to 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.400 respect the speed, they have to respect the arm that 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.400 Carson Wentz has. And we've shown already we're willing to 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.000 throw the ball deep. We just need more opportunities. I 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.200 think Bryce tres opens up this offense just a bit. Okay, 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.600 that's our look at the Eagles offense from the twenty 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.040 eight to twenty three loss to the New York Giants. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.280 In our next segment here on Eagles three sixty, we're 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.879 gonna look ahead at the second half of the season. 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.000 Five home games of the eight remaining games. Can the 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:14.560 Eagles make a playoff run in twenty sixteen. We'll talk 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:36.639 about it when we come back. With simply right checking 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.520 from Santon their bank, just make one deposits, with draw, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.320 transfer or payment each month to wait the monthly fee 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.639 and there's no minimum balance. You're all right, We're simply 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:53.520 right checking from Santon deir Bank. Remarkable things are happening 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.520 at your local ACME.

Dave Spidero, Brian 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.879 Westbrook Eagles three sixty. As we take a look ahead, 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.280 had some things to come for the Philadelphia Eagles. Beginning Sunday, 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.800 the second half of the season starts with the six 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.840 and three Atlanta Falcons coming to town with that big 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.919 time offense, great passing attack, and the defense that's a 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:13.760 lot better than it was a year ago. I look 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.520 at it like this. Last year Falcons jump out and 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.439 then start to lose. Boy, it's very similar. They're like 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.480 the Eagles, but a year more mature. Yeah, they've done 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.359 a great job. The one thing that the Falcons have 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.359 they have some playmakers on the outside. They have some 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.600 guys that can threaten the defense. But you're right, they 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.080 were okay last year. They started out great and then 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.800 they came back to the pack. That is a great example. 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.359 I think for us in this game, it's gonna be 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.000 critical that our front four finds a way. It's gonna 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:42.520 be critical that they find a way to get out 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.920 of the quarterback and offensively, you can't miss those opportunities. 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.960 And it's important that you have touchdowns instead of field goals. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.080 We have to put the ball in the end zone 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.280 and not be worried about kicking fields. I just would 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:56.080 like to know what the formula is in the red zone. 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.560 I know you have to be more precise. I know 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:58.960 you have to be more physical. I know you have 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.399 to have big targets, but there are some teams that 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.280 just do it and there are some teams that do 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.280 not do it. That's true, and that comes down to executing. 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.800 That comes down to having the right playmakers, and that 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.840 comes down to making sure that when you're in those situations, 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.040 you understand we have to get in We don't have 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.520 a choice. This is what we have to do. And 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.239 some of those points, we're not doing a very good 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.680 job right now for our team. The Atlanta Falcons averaging 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.880 thirty four points per game, allowing twenty nine points per game. Brian, 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.560 can the Eagles win a shootout with this offense? You know? 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:29.679 I think we can. I think we can score points 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.560 against this team. And I think because our defense is 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.399 very opportunistic, we do find a way to get an 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.359 interception Jordan Hicks. We find a way to make some plays, 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.800 Nolan Carroll. We have an opportunity, and Matt Ryan will 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.880 give you some chances as well. And so when you're 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.199 playing at home, it's a different football team. When we 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.560 played against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it's a different football team. 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.879 We played against the five and those Minnesota Vikings, a 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.240 different football team. This team hasn't been home in a 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.080
