Speaker 1: well as from linebacker Damko Ryan's as he makes his

Speaker 1: Alex Glenn. Obviously everything we're going to talk about this
Speaker 1: not only today and tomorrow, but for the entire season.
Speaker 1: How the quarterback position has changed so much. Your thoughts
Speaker 1: when the Eagles acquired Sam Bradford and how you feel
Speaker 1: about him now, Well, they've they've changed radically. To be
Speaker 1: honest with you, When the Eagles got Sam Bradford, my
Speaker 1: concern was, wait a second, They're giving Nick Foles and
Speaker 1: a second round pick. Something doesn't sound quite right. This
Speaker 1: is a guy who'd spent the last two years injured,
Speaker 1: and I thought, I don't know that a guy's going
Speaker 1: to come back from that. I'll tell you, Dave, what
Speaker 1: you've seen in training camp, what you saw during the
Speaker 1: two pre season games, or where he played, you gotta
Speaker 1: be thoroughly impressed. If he stays healthy, and that's always
Speaker 1: the issue, Sam Bradford can have a monster year for
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, the scheme is in place. He
Speaker 1: certainly got all the skills that Chip Kelly is looking for.
Speaker 1: And we will dig deep into Sam Bradford. Bradford through
Speaker 1: the course of this week. He will meet the media
Speaker 1: just a little bit later on when we return to
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty, we're gonna dig into the three sixty
Speaker 1: portion of the Eagles roster fifty three players. How do
Speaker 1: they go from ninety to seventy five to fifty three?

Speaker 1: roadstreet line to my part, boy Mark at frankfort Line
Speaker 1: all night, Welcome back to Eagles three sixty Dave SPIDERO,
Speaker 1: Glenn Macnow we're talking fifty three players on this twenty
Speaker 1: fifteen roster and we're going to begin Glenn at the
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Obviously, Sam Bradford, we touched on him just
Speaker 1: a bit the last segment. How do you see that
Speaker 1: picture with three quarterbacks? Somebody we have no idea about
Speaker 1: in Stephen Morris. Yeah, and you know with a third quarterback.
Speaker 1: It got so much attention during the preseason when it
Speaker 1: was somebody else, But now that it's Stephen Morris, what
Speaker 1: it comes down to who's when it always comes down
Speaker 1: to you hope you never hear of the third string
Speaker 1: quarterback again. You hope he never has to play because
Speaker 1: he he does, and nothing against him, You're probably in
Speaker 1: some trouble. Your thoughts on Mark Sanchez last year four
Speaker 1: and four as a starter in place of Nick Foles.
Speaker 1: Eagles think Mark Sanchez the best backup quarterback in the league.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts he may be, There's not a lot of
Speaker 1: great backup quarterbacks in the league. I think Martanchez is
Speaker 1: a guy who if Bradford goes down for three weeks,
Speaker 1: four weeks, he'll get you through. You'll win a couple
Speaker 1: of games. If it comes to the playoffs in December,
Speaker 1: I think they really are gonna need Sam Bradford in there.
Speaker 1: And the running back situation is one that is enviable.
Speaker 1: In this situation, Eagles have three great ones, potentially a
Speaker 1: fourth and Kenyon Varner who can contribute as well, but
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, the big free agent signing Ryan Matthews not
Speaker 1: too far behind. Both of those players, plays sparingly and
Speaker 1: very well in the preseason. Darren sproles more of a
Speaker 1: receiver in this offense in the preseason than a running back.
Speaker 1: Foot Glenn. With those three backs and we have all
Speaker 1: come to learn and embrace that. Chip Kelly is a
Speaker 1: run first coach. If these guys, how do you see
Speaker 1: the distribution percentage? Well, well, I love it. And you know,
Speaker 1: the big concern when they got DeMarco Murray is that
Speaker 1: he had four hundred and ninety seven touches for Dallas
Speaker 1: last year. That's going to be too much. Guys are
Speaker 1: incommable play a year after that, and I think what
Speaker 1: Chip did really wisely was he brought in Matthews along
Speaker 1: with DeMarco Murray. You already have Sprowls here, so you
Speaker 1: have three guys all with different skills. If DeMarco Murray
Speaker 1: gets i'll say two hundred and fifty two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy five carries, if Matthews gets one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: five to two hundred, Darren Sprowls gets forty fifty but
Speaker 1: catches a lot of passes, it's gonna be a pretty
Speaker 1: unstoppable trio. Yeah. Of course, the offensive line plays a
Speaker 1: big part in that, and we know you've got fantasy questions.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into that a little bit later in
Speaker 1: the show. A position that I like, a group that
Speaker 1: I really feel good about that maybe not a lot
Speaker 1: of people embrace like I do. Is the wide receiver position.
Speaker 1: No pro bowler here, Jeremy Macklin gone to Kansas City.
Speaker 1: But I'll say Jordan Matthews in the development that I've
Speaker 1: seen from year one to year two, I think he's
Speaker 1: been tremendous, likely in the slot most of the season.
Speaker 1: The Eagles with a bunch of other receivers who are
Speaker 1: fairly interchangeable. Josh Huff, the Eagles expect a lot of
Speaker 1: growth from him, Miles Austin, a little bit more gas
Speaker 1: in the tank. First round pick Nelson Aghalore and vet
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper Here, Glenn, that's five receivers. You kind of
Speaker 1: have to use a hockey analogy see them coming over
Speaker 1: the boards to really exhaust defenses. Yeah, I do. I
Speaker 1: have a little bit of concern that there's not that
Speaker 1: deep threat, there's not that burner on this team, because
Speaker 1: there's really not. But maybe that's just not chips game.
Speaker 1: To me, Matthews is good for eighty catches thousand yards
Speaker 1: this year. Nelson agul Are the rookie. I guess he's
Speaker 1: the closest you have do the threats. Sixty catches, eight
Speaker 1: hundred yards and yeah, you can just kind of filter
Speaker 1: those other guys in and out. If again, may I
Speaker 1: just keep saying this, if everybody stays healthy and Chip
Speaker 1: can just go to the bench, go bringing this guy,
Speaker 1: bringing that guy. You know he said he didn't have
Speaker 1: enough of that last year. If he's able to do that,
Speaker 1: I think this offense is going to be unstoppable. All right.
Speaker 1: The offensive line, we know there are questions at guard
Speaker 1: with Alan Barber and Andrew Gardner, the other three positions
Speaker 1: set depth the question mark. We agree there, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a bit of a it's pretty easier, right. The biggest
Speaker 1: offensive concern is the guards in the depth. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: go to the defensive side of the ball, the secondary.
Speaker 1: What do you do in the secondary? Now? The Eagles
Speaker 1: with Nolan Carroll at one side and Byron Maxwell on
Speaker 1: the other side of the cornerback positions, who's your nickel back?
Speaker 1: Eric Rowe, the second round draft pick from Utah, really
Speaker 1: struggling in the preseason, so there's a wonder will he
Speaker 1: be in that role in the nickel in the regular season.
Speaker 1: Will the Eagles bring in EJ Biggers? Will they move
Speaker 1: a safety into that position? Walter Thurman at one safety position,
Speaker 1: and also Malcolm Jenkins questions about the depth there. Glenn,
Speaker 1: Let's start in the secondary and the idea that the
Speaker 1: Eagles have overhauled. Want to play a lot of press coverage.
Speaker 1: Do they have the men to do it? Well? They
Speaker 1: have some of the men to do it. And I
Speaker 1: think Byron Maxwell is going to be a whole lot
Speaker 1: better than I say, Byron Maxwell is going to be
Speaker 1: more Troy Vincent than he's gonna be Nonde Awesomat. If
Speaker 1: you want to go back the free agent corners they'd signed,
Speaker 1: and that's good, but you do have that concern with
Speaker 1: the nickel cornerback. I don't think Eric Row gave you
Speaker 1: anything during the preseason to make you think he's ready. Look,
Speaker 1: he's a quality guy, but that might be down the road.
Speaker 1: They are going to have to have that answer because
Speaker 1: you play Julio Jones the first week, you play Dez
Speaker 1: Bryant the second week. There's a lot of really good
Speaker 1: wide receivers in this on the schedule coming up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then the linebacker positions also getting a lot of
Speaker 1: attention in the offseason. The Eagles trading a running back
Speaker 1: name again, he divorced yourself from him that fast, that quickly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: y goos to Buffalo. Kiko Alonso comes to Philadelphia and
Speaker 1: we saw one series in the preseason of Kiko Alonso,
Speaker 1: a player of the Eagles think could be a three
Speaker 1: down linebacker inside. How it works out with Alonzo and
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks and DMKO Ryan's stay tuned for that. Sounds
Speaker 1: like the Eagles want to rotate all three of those
Speaker 1: players into those two inside positions and then on the
Speaker 1: outside of them Connor Barwin, Brandon Graham becomes a starter
Speaker 1: again another question of death. Yeah, more depth, but at
Speaker 1: front line, guys, Glenn, I like that group. I like
Speaker 1: that group too, and I will tell you that I
Speaker 1: think that Kiko Alonso can be a folk hero on
Speaker 1: this time. He really is the kind of player that
Speaker 1: people here will be drawn to. He is going to
Speaker 1: make plays behind the line of scrimmage. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna create turnovers. He's got a lot of excite him
Speaker 1: in a lot of juice. Hey, he played on Buffalo
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago as a rookie. Has something
Speaker 1: like a hundred and forty tackles. Man. I'll say it again, Dave,
Speaker 1: he stays on the field Kiko Alonso is going to
Speaker 1: become a fan favorite and a monster force on this team.
Speaker 1: The legend of Kiko Alonso was huge in Buffalo two
Speaker 1: years ago. We want to see it grow in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: as well. Now, upfront, the Eagles underrated, fairly, unheralded in
Speaker 1: some quarters, unknown, but it is a really talented group
Speaker 1: led by Fletcher Cox, Benny Logan, Cedric Thornton, and some
Speaker 1: players who you don't know a whole lot about behind them.
Speaker 1: Brandon Bear comes in, Foe Atlan, Vinnie Curry. It's a
Speaker 1: group of hard working, run stopping, two gapping defensive linemen
Speaker 1: and they are physical, they are violent, they are nasty
Speaker 1: and Glenn they are really good. And I want to
Speaker 1: see the matchup on Monday Night the Eagles against in
Speaker 1: Atlanta offensive line that continues to try to find the pieces.
Speaker 1: It's a terrible offensive line that Atlanta has, and they
Speaker 1: really cannot protect Matt Ryan. I think that this runt three,
Speaker 1: and you talked about Fletchercock last year really should have
Speaker 1: made the pro bom. We all agree on that. I
Speaker 1: think this year Logan and said Thorn are going to
Speaker 1: get a lot of publicity, a lot of attention, and
Speaker 1: emergence stars, and that's a front three that you know what,
Speaker 1: they're going to deserve a nickname by the end of
Speaker 1: the year. I like, well, we'll work on that. This
Speaker 1: is day one, so we've got a long way to
Speaker 1: go before we get to the nickname stage. But we'll
Speaker 1: see Eagles defense in good hands. The offense we think
Speaker 1: can be prolific. Special teams first in the league last year,
Speaker 1: and they added some pieces to be even better in
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. So that's that's a good looking team. And
Speaker 1: the caveat here is if they stay healthy. If they
Speaker 1: stay healthy, both Glenn and I believe, and I know
Speaker 1: you do too, that the Eagles can maybe win this
Speaker 1: NFC East and have a nice deep run in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But that's all down the road. We got Atlanta to
Speaker 1: worry about, and when we returned inside, or when we
Speaker 1: returned to Eagles three sixty here, we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about the Falcons. We're gonna go inside the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: Our first look at the opening game of this twenty

Speaker 1: for more information. Welcome back to Eagles three sixty. David
Speaker 1: Glenn Here, time to take a look at the Eagles
Speaker 1: ponent on Monday night. The Atlanta Falcons, who once upon
Speaker 1: a time not too long ago pretty much ruled the
Speaker 1: NFC South. They did, and I listen, I don't think
Speaker 1: this is a particularly good team right now. The Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: They get a new code and Dan Quinn. They got
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator in Kyle Shanahan. Say which you
Speaker 1: want about him? He comes over from Cleveland and they
Speaker 1: have a very good offense led by his sturdy quarterback
Speaker 1: in Matt Ryan, but a terrible defense. So you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a lot of points scored
Speaker 1: this one. Let's talk a little bit about Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: Of course, the local kid made it big in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: and he goes against Sam Bradford. Would take a look
Speaker 1: at some of the career numbers of Ryan and Bradford. Now,
Speaker 1: of course, Bradfress had the injuries. Ryan with the opportunity
Speaker 1: to play with two great receivers going now, Roddy White
Speaker 1: kind of on the downhill with his career and a
Speaker 1: little bit hurt. Julio Jones is the real deal and
Speaker 1: will be a great test for the Eagles defense. Julio
Speaker 1: Jones caught a hundred something passes last year for fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred yards. He is a dangerous receiver. You remember they
Speaker 1: traded so much a couple of years ago to get
Speaker 1: him with the sixth overall pick of the draft, and
Speaker 1: it really has panned out for him for them. He
Speaker 1: is a breakaway receiver and he's going to be a
Speaker 1: huge test. This is why the Eagles made all the
Speaker 1: moves in the off season again Byron Maxwell to draft
Speaker 1: a corner back in the second round, and they're going
Speaker 1: to be tested right from the beginning running game. Listen, Eagles,
Speaker 1: this is what the offense is built around. DeMarco Murray
Speaker 1: is the featured piece, by no means the only piece.
Speaker 1: What a season he had last year with the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred and forty five yards, thirteen touchdowns, all those
Speaker 1: such as fifty seven catches, Glenn, what do you expect
Speaker 1: from Murray just in terms of touches per game and
Speaker 1: just kind of production per games. Okay, the great news
Speaker 1: is that he doesn't have to be that guy who
Speaker 1: was in Dallas, and it's not going to help the
Speaker 1: Eagles for him to try to be that guy. So
Speaker 1: to me, if he gets say eighteen to twenty carries
Speaker 1: a game, maybe even a little less fifteen and eighteen
Speaker 1: carries a game, he'll catch a pass or two, but
Speaker 1: that's not what he's there for. That's why you have Sprowles,
Speaker 1: That's why you have Matthews other guys to do it.
Speaker 1: You can, as we said, mix and match these running
Speaker 1: backs to have four hundred plus carries a your five
Speaker 1: hundred carries a year total from this group. They're going
Speaker 1: to leave the league in rushing this year, right and
Speaker 1: certainly when you put that together. The Eagles hope to
Speaker 1: keep Sam Bradford up ranks by not explosing him to
Speaker 1: forty five passes a game. Yes, and I rats for
Speaker 1: Darren Sproles. Just keep doing that and they'll keep the
Speaker 1: offensive move And I look for a big improvement in
Speaker 1: the Eagles in the red zone twenty three in the
Speaker 1: NFL and touchdown etician set a year ago should be
Speaker 1: better with Murray and Matthew Zara now leading receiver for
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Of course, Jordan Matthews, second year player, has
Speaker 1: shown a lot of improvement, will come out of the
Speaker 1: slot and that big body Glenn it's a huge matchup
Speaker 1: problem for defenses. It is a huge matchup problem for defenses.
Speaker 1: And he can get lost there in the middle. And
Speaker 1: he's got size, which you really want in a guy
Speaker 1: like that, So I like him. I think that Nelson
Speaker 1: Aguilar is good. Maybe off to a slow start. He's
Speaker 1: a rookie, you know, look to right and see weasly
Speaker 1: more than they used to. But by mid season, when
Speaker 1: they finally figure him out, when he gets some kind
Speaker 1: of timing down with his quarterback, it's gonna be great.
Speaker 1: Can I mention the tight ends here? Yeah? Please, because
Speaker 1: we don't know if zach Ertz when he's gonna play
Speaker 1: and so on. But I will tell you as this
Speaker 1: season goes on, zach Ertz has I think the capability
Speaker 1: this year to catch what five, six, seven passes a week.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just spread the ball around. The numbers,
Speaker 1: I just I don't we're gonna get into fantasy football
Speaker 1: here in just a moment, but the numbers to me
Speaker 1: almost irrelevant. In his offense, Chip wants to spread it
Speaker 1: around and just keep creating the right matchups and going
Speaker 1: to those open region It's kind of if you understand it,
Speaker 1: Bradford is. His job is to see the favorable matchup,
Speaker 1: get the football out quickly to that matchup. Whether it's
Speaker 1: Sprolls on the wheel route, whether it's Jordan Matthews in
Speaker 1: the slot, whether it's Zacher's down the seam, there's going
Speaker 1: to be options for the quarterback. You know, the whole
Speaker 1: emphasis of the offseason. And I know the Eagles actually
Speaker 1: in terms of raw numbers, made fewer changes in personnel
Speaker 1: than they had the past two years. And that'll surprise people,
Speaker 1: But there was such an emphasis on getting good, skilled
Speaker 1: position players this offseason. And you know you heard Chips
Speaker 1: quote in the preseason when he said, last year there
Speaker 1: were times during the game I said, who's in there? Oh,
Speaker 1: we can't do this. He's never going to have that
Speaker 1: problem this year as long as these guys stick around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the defense, guys, look, the Eagles overhauled in the secondary.
Speaker 1: The Falcons still try to find their way now. They
Speaker 1: want to play the Seattle Seahawks kind of defense. They
Speaker 1: want to play that man press. With their new head coach,
Speaker 1: they are still trying to build the personnel. They've lost
Speaker 1: their best outside cover linebacker Brooks read he'll miss this
Speaker 1: game with an injury. I just see a really tough
Speaker 1: matchup problem for the Falcons on Monday Night. I don't
Speaker 1: know how they stay with the Eagles tempo, with the
Speaker 1: Eagles speed, and with the Eagles personnel. I think the
Speaker 1: Eagles have a chance to score big time points. I
Speaker 1: think they will. Look. Dan Quinn is a terrific defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: defensive coach. He was the coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: That's a great defense. That said, he hasn't had time
Speaker 1: to get the personnel he wants to get on this
Speaker 1: team yet, So it's going to be a process. Eagles
Speaker 1: are going to score somewhere in the thirties. Look it. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: now we get to the biggest question of all. So
Speaker 1: let's say you had your fantasy football draft already and
Speaker 1: you took DeMarco Murray in the first round and you
Speaker 1: hear Glenn macnow over here saying he's gonna get fifteen
Speaker 1: garries a game, and you're like, no way. Well, we'll
Speaker 1: break it down for you here when we return to
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty, it's time for our fantasy spin. The
Speaker 1: numbers you want to hear, give any more chips fellas.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we were daydreaming about that VIP tailgate and
Speaker 1: game tickets. Yeah, that pregame sideline experience exactly. I believe
Speaker 1: an Eagle season tickets. You both have the new Instant
Speaker 1: game from the Pennsylvania Lottery. Yeah, the Eagles Instant Game
Speaker 1: with top prizes of fifty grand and second chance prizes
Speaker 1: including season tickets the Pennsylvania Lottery. Bring your dreams to life.

Speaker 1: the announcer. Find a Jefferson, doctor Cole one eight hundred
Speaker 1: Jeff now for an appointment. Hi everyone, and welcome inside
Speaker 1: the Novacare Complex Studios for the first Fantasy spin of
Speaker 1: the twenty fifteen season. The preseason has come and gone,
Speaker 1: and now we are ready to talk fantasy football. So
Speaker 1: for that, I am joined via Skype by Joe Dolan,
Speaker 1: managing editor of Fantasy Guru dot com. Joe, great to
Speaker 1: have you back, Hope you had a great offseason. Let's
Speaker 1: jump right into it. Here we're looking at Eagles Falcons
Speaker 1: the Monday night opener. Which Eagle are you looking at? Here?
Speaker 1: In Week one? You know, it's funny with this offensive
Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly. I had this discussion with Fran Duffy
Speaker 1: from the Eagles website and we were just talking who
Speaker 1: should I really focus on, and we came to one conclusion.
Speaker 1: This team's gonna score a lot of points, it's gonna
Speaker 1: gain a lot of yards. So we're going with Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford this week. I think he's the standout Eagle. Atlanta
Speaker 1: should have improved defense with Dan Quinn there. If they're
Speaker 1: going to be playing that Seattle Cover three. They're learning
Speaker 1: a new system. I think the Eagles are going to
Speaker 1: be able to attack across the middle of the field
Speaker 1: and down the field. I think it's going to be
Speaker 1: a big day for Sam Bradford. If I drafted Bradford,
Speaker 1: if I was aggressive in going and getting his upside
Speaker 1: in my fantasy drafts, I would have absolutely no problem
Speaker 1: with starting him this week. I know some people are
Speaker 1: very high on Bradford, seeing him going high in a
Speaker 1: couple of drafts. We'll see how things shake out on
Speaker 1: Monday night. Now, as for a surprise start, you're going
Speaker 1: with a wide receiver from the NFC West, a guy
Speaker 1: that Eagles fans may remember from last He hasn't had
Speaker 1: a big game against the Eagles late in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Yeahs John Brown of the Arizona Cardinals, and he's been
Speaker 1: one of my favorite mid round receivers to draft this year,
Speaker 1: kind of the seventh, eighth, ninth round type of guy.
Speaker 1: But going up against the New Orleans Saints without quarterback
Speaker 1: Keenan Lewis, I think Carson Palmer is going to be
Speaker 1: very excited to kind of push the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: I would be very very happy with John Brown as
Speaker 1: my number three receiver, maybe a flex in a deeper league,
Speaker 1: or as a chief option in daily lineups. I think
Speaker 1: he's going to be somebody who's you're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to get a lot of points for a low cost.
Speaker 1: So John Brown is one of my favorite plays of
Speaker 1: the week. Now, as for your surprise sit, You're really
Speaker 1: going to have to explain this one. Because Andrew Luck
Speaker 1: is a quarterback that a lot of people took very highly,
Speaker 1: possibly the first quarterback taken in a lot of fantasy
Speaker 1: drafts this year. Why are you skeptical about him heading
Speaker 1: into this opener? Well, it's more of a philosophical question.
Speaker 1: And I am somebody who is very much against being
Speaker 1: the first guy in my league to take a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I get yelled at for that. People are like,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you take Andrew Luck? He has garyteed points.
Speaker 1: But the same people Alex are asking me this week,
Speaker 1: should I sit Andrew Luck for Ryan's Tannahill because Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck's going into Buffalo? Should I sit Andrew Luck for
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer? Should I sit Andrew Luck for Sam Bradford?
Speaker 1: And my point is, why did you draft guy in
Speaker 1: the first place. You told me there's these guaranteed points.
Speaker 1: But as you see, Andrew Luck going into Buffalo is
Speaker 1: not an appealing matchup. Buffalo beat the crap out of
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in Buffalo last year. So you have to
Speaker 1: understand that when I'm telling you not the draft quarterback early.
Speaker 1: This is the reason why if I drafted Luck, I'm
Speaker 1: sleeping in that bet this week. I'm going to start
Speaker 1: them understanding that it's a tough matchup. But you just
Speaker 1: gotta understand that it's a weekly game and sometimes there
Speaker 1: are better options out there even than the Sun quarterbacks. Now, Joe,
Speaker 1: a couple of other guys that you're keeping an eye on.
Speaker 1: You're looking at the running back position, specifically a pair
Speaker 1: of running backs here in the NFC East. Yeah, Kristen
Speaker 1: Michael Hooth Cowboys just acquired in a trade from the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, almost certainly is going to be third on
Speaker 1: their depth chart. Might not even be active in weeks
Speaker 1: week one, week two as he learns the system, But
Speaker 1: you can argue he's the most talented back. He's somebody.
Speaker 1: If I had a kind of a rotating bench spot,
Speaker 1: I added him to the back of my bench. One
Speaker 1: guy who I'm actually a lot higher on is Matt
Speaker 1: Jones of Washington. I think he fits with Jake Groom
Speaker 1: wants to do in that run game. They want to
Speaker 1: run power counter trap. I think he fits that better
Speaker 1: than Alfred Morris. He had a better preseason than Alfred Morris.
Speaker 1: Matt Jones is a guy. If he is out there
Speaker 1: on my waiver wire, I am picking him up right now.
Speaker 1: I think there's a shot he's Washington starting running back
Speaker 1: by midway boots. All right, Well, that will wrap things
