Thanks so much, 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.320 Alex Glenn. Obviously everything we're going to talk about this 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.919 not only today and tomorrow, but for the entire season. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.480 How the quarterback position has changed so much. Your thoughts 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.320 when the Eagles acquired Sam Bradford and how you feel 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.760 about him now, Well, they've they've changed radically. To be 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.400 honest with you, When the Eagles got Sam Bradford, my 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.000 concern was, wait a second, They're giving Nick Foles and 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.400 a second round pick. Something doesn't sound quite right. This 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.560 is a guy who'd spent the last two years injured, 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.240 and I thought, I don't know that a guy's going 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.200 to come back from that. I'll tell you, Dave, what 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.480 you've seen in training camp, what you saw during the 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.120 two pre season games, or where he played, you gotta 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.200 be thoroughly impressed. If he stays healthy, and that's always 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.080 the issue, Sam Bradford can have a monster year for 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.639 the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, the scheme is in place. He 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.160 certainly got all the skills that Chip Kelly is looking for. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.639 And we will dig deep into Sam Bradford. Bradford through 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.240 the course of this week. He will meet the media 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.280 just a little bit later on when we return to 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.079 Eagles three sixty, we're gonna dig into the three sixty 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.519 portion of the Eagles roster fifty three players. How do 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.000 they go from ninety to seventy five to fifty three? 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.600 And let's talk a little bit about the three quarterbacks 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.400 on the roster. All of that a whole lot more 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.640 when we get back on Eagles three sixty.

Obviously, Sam Bradford, we touched on him just 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.560 a bit the last segment. How do you see that 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.799 picture with three quarterbacks? Somebody we have no idea about 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.040 in Stephen Morris. Yeah, and you know with a third quarterback. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.279 It got so much attention during the preseason when it 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.279 was somebody else, But now that it's Stephen Morris, what 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.920 it comes down to who's when it always comes down 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.040 to you hope you never hear of the third string 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.560 quarterback again. You hope he never has to play because 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.320 he he does, and nothing against him, You're probably in 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.000 some trouble. Your thoughts on Mark Sanchez last year four 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.640 and four as a starter in place of Nick Foles. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.440 Eagles think Mark Sanchez the best backup quarterback in the league. 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.160 Your thoughts he may be, There's not a lot of 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:09.040 great backup quarterbacks in the league. I think Martanchez is 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.799 a guy who if Bradford goes down for three weeks, 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.960 four weeks, he'll get you through. You'll win a couple 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.680 of games. If it comes to the playoffs in December, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.560 I think they really are gonna need Sam Bradford in there. 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.919 And the running back situation is one that is enviable. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.440 In this situation, Eagles have three great ones, potentially a 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.919 fourth and Kenyon Varner who can contribute as well, but 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.640 DeMarco Murray, the big free agent signing Ryan Matthews not 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.800 too far behind. Both of those players, plays sparingly and 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.680 very well in the preseason. Darren sproles more of a 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.960 receiver in this offense in the preseason than a running back. 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.720 Foot Glenn. With those three backs and we have all 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.560 come to learn and embrace that. Chip Kelly is a 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.920 run first coach. If these guys, how do you see 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.120 the distribution percentage? Well, well, I love it. And you know, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.039 the big concern when they got DeMarco Murray is that 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.360 he had four hundred and ninety seven touches for Dallas 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.920 last year. That's going to be too much. Guys are 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.400 incommable play a year after that, and I think what 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:05.760 Chip did really wisely was he brought in Matthews along 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.400 with DeMarco Murray. You already have Sprowls here, so you 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.119 have three guys all with different skills. If DeMarco Murray 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.200 gets i'll say two hundred and fifty two hundred and 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.920 seventy five carries, if Matthews gets one hundred and seventy 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.880 five to two hundred, Darren Sprowls gets forty fifty but 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.640 catches a lot of passes, it's gonna be a pretty 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.040 unstoppable trio. Yeah. Of course, the offensive line plays a 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:27.920 big part in that, and we know you've got fantasy questions. 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.160 We're gonna get into that a little bit later in 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.280 the show. A position that I like, a group that 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.440 I really feel good about that maybe not a lot 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.280 of people embrace like I do. Is the wide receiver position. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.480 No pro bowler here, Jeremy Macklin gone to Kansas City. 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.880 But I'll say Jordan Matthews in the development that I've 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.800 seen from year one to year two, I think he's 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.920 been tremendous, likely in the slot most of the season. 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.600 The Eagles with a bunch of other receivers who are 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.840 fairly interchangeable. Josh Huff, the Eagles expect a lot of 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.760 growth from him, Miles Austin, a little bit more gas 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.840 in the tank. First round pick Nelson Aghalore and vet 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.520 Riley Cooper Here, Glenn, that's five receivers. You kind of 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.960 have to use a hockey analogy see them coming over 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.840 the boards to really exhaust defenses. Yeah, I do. I 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.440 have a little bit of concern that there's not that 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.080 deep threat, there's not that burner on this team, because 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.280 there's really not. But maybe that's just not chips game. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.760 To me, Matthews is good for eighty catches thousand yards 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.000 this year. Nelson agul Are the rookie. I guess he's 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.920 the closest you have do the threats. Sixty catches, eight 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.000 hundred yards and yeah, you can just kind of filter 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.840 those other guys in and out. If again, may I 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.559 just keep saying this, if everybody stays healthy and Chip 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.080 can just go to the bench, go bringing this guy, 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:38.680 bringing that guy. You know he said he didn't have 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.439 enough of that last year. If he's able to do that, 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.240 I think this offense is going to be unstoppable. All right. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.480 The offensive line, we know there are questions at guard 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.720 with Alan Barber and Andrew Gardner, the other three positions 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.040 set depth the question mark. We agree there, Yeah, that's 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.600 a bit of a it's pretty easier, right. The biggest 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.680 offensive concern is the guards in the depth. Yeah, let's 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.160 go to the defensive side of the ball, the secondary. 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.800 What do you do in the secondary? Now? The Eagles 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.400 with Nolan Carroll at one side and Byron Maxwell on 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.000 the other side of the cornerback positions, who's your nickel back? 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.160 Eric Rowe, the second round draft pick from Utah, really 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.520 struggling in the preseason, so there's a wonder will he 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.240 be in that role in the nickel in the regular season. 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.640 Will the Eagles bring in EJ Biggers? Will they move 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.480 a safety into that position? Walter Thurman at one safety position, 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.160 and also Malcolm Jenkins questions about the depth there. Glenn, 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.800 Let's start in the secondary and the idea that the 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.319 Eagles have overhauled. Want to play a lot of press coverage. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.200 Do they have the men to do it? Well? They 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.120 have some of the men to do it. And I 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.760 think Byron Maxwell is going to be a whole lot 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.040 better than I say, Byron Maxwell is going to be 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.400 more Troy Vincent than he's gonna be Nonde Awesomat. If 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.400 you want to go back the free agent corners they'd signed, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.640 and that's good, but you do have that concern with 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.240 the nickel cornerback. I don't think Eric Row gave you 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.200 anything during the preseason to make you think he's ready. Look, 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.680 he's a quality guy, but that might be down the road. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.839 They are going to have to have that answer because 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.079 you play Julio Jones the first week, you play Dez 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.320 Bryant the second week. There's a lot of really good 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.160 wide receivers in this on the schedule coming up. Yeah, 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.839 and then the linebacker positions also getting a lot of 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.800 attention in the offseason. The Eagles trading a running back 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:17.440 name again, he divorced yourself from him that fast, that quickly. Yeah, 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.040 y goos to Buffalo. Kiko Alonso comes to Philadelphia and 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.800 we saw one series in the preseason of Kiko Alonso, 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.320 a player of the Eagles think could be a three 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.720 down linebacker inside. How it works out with Alonzo and 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.400 Michael Kendricks and DMKO Ryan's stay tuned for that. Sounds 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.080 like the Eagles want to rotate all three of those 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.199 players into those two inside positions and then on the 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.640 outside of them Connor Barwin, Brandon Graham becomes a starter 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.760 again another question of death. Yeah, more depth, but at 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.240 front line, guys, Glenn, I like that group. I like 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.000 that group too, and I will tell you that I 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.280 think that Kiko Alonso can be a folk hero on 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:52.960 this time. He really is the kind of player that 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.240 people here will be drawn to. He is going to 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.360 make plays behind the line of scrimmage. I think he's 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.199 gonna create turnovers. He's got a lot of excite him 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.040 in a lot of juice. Hey, he played on Buffalo 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.319 a couple of years ago as a rookie. Has something 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:08.160 like a hundred and forty tackles. Man. I'll say it again, Dave, 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.480 he stays on the field Kiko Alonso is going to 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.280 become a fan favorite and a monster force on this team. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.480 The legend of Kiko Alonso was huge in Buffalo two 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.199 years ago. We want to see it grow in Philadelphia 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:23.920 as well. Now, upfront, the Eagles underrated, fairly, unheralded in 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.839 some quarters, unknown, but it is a really talented group 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.320 led by Fletcher Cox, Benny Logan, Cedric Thornton, and some 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.760 players who you don't know a whole lot about behind them. 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.559 Brandon Bear comes in, Foe Atlan, Vinnie Curry. It's a 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.640 group of hard working, run stopping, two gapping defensive linemen 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.160 and they are physical, they are violent, they are nasty 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.520 and Glenn they are really good. And I want to 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.559 see the matchup on Monday Night the Eagles against in 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.400 Atlanta offensive line that continues to try to find the pieces. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.760 It's a terrible offensive line that Atlanta has, and they 0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:00.800 really cannot protect Matt Ryan. I think that this runt three, 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.679 and you talked about Fletchercock last year really should have 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.560 made the pro bom. We all agree on that. I 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.719 think this year Logan and said Thorn are going to 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.280 get a lot of publicity, a lot of attention, and 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.600 emergence stars, and that's a front three that you know what, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.480 they're going to deserve a nickname by the end of 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.080 the year. I like, well, we'll work on that. This 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:17.640 is day one, so we've got a long way to 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.200 go before we get to the nickname stage. But we'll 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.760 see Eagles defense in good hands. The offense we think 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.960 can be prolific. Special teams first in the league last year, 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.480 and they added some pieces to be even better in 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.400 twenty fifteen. So that's that's a good looking team. And 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.120 the caveat here is if they stay healthy. If they 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.440 stay healthy, both Glenn and I believe, and I know 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.800 you do too, that the Eagles can maybe win this 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.360 NFC East and have a nice deep run in the playoffs. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.160 But that's all down the road. We got Atlanta to 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.520 worry about, and when we returned inside, or when we 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.000 returned to Eagles three sixty here, we're going to talk 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.720 about the Falcons. We're gonna go inside the Atlanta Falcons. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.720 Our first look at the opening game of this twenty 0:12:53.960 --> 0:13:24.320 fifteen Eagle season. Carves to compete electrolytes. To replenish everything 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:30.720 you need to keep sweating.

David 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.200 Glenn Here, time to take a look at the Eagles 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.360 ponent on Monday night. The Atlanta Falcons, who once upon 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.680 a time not too long ago pretty much ruled the 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.840 NFC South. They did, and I listen, I don't think 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.240 this is a particularly good team right now. The Atlanta Falcons. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.320 They get a new code and Dan Quinn. They got 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.920 a new offensive coordinator in Kyle Shanahan. Say which you 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.800 want about him? He comes over from Cleveland and they 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.040 have a very good offense led by his sturdy quarterback 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.120 in Matt Ryan, but a terrible defense. So you know, 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:14.480 I think it's gonna be a lot of points scored 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:16.600 this one. Let's talk a little bit about Matt Ryan. 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.960 Of course, the local kid made it big in Atlanta, 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:21.920 and he goes against Sam Bradford. Would take a look 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.080 at some of the career numbers of Ryan and Bradford. Now, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.400 of course, Bradfress had the injuries. Ryan with the opportunity 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.400 to play with two great receivers going now, Roddy White 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.400 kind of on the downhill with his career and a 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.200 little bit hurt. Julio Jones is the real deal and 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.640 will be a great test for the Eagles defense. Julio 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.760 Jones caught a hundred something passes last year for fifteen 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.800 hundred yards. He is a dangerous receiver. You remember they 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.000 traded so much a couple of years ago to get 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.480 him with the sixth overall pick of the draft, and 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.280 it really has panned out for him for them. He 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.520 is a breakaway receiver and he's going to be a 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.160 huge test. This is why the Eagles made all the 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.920 moves in the off season again Byron Maxwell to draft 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.680 a corner back in the second round, and they're going 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.320 to be tested right from the beginning running game. Listen, Eagles, 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.880 this is what the offense is built around. DeMarco Murray 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.240 is the featured piece, by no means the only piece. 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.440 What a season he had last year with the Dallas Cowboys, 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.920 eighteen hundred and forty five yards, thirteen touchdowns, all those 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.200 such as fifty seven catches, Glenn, what do you expect 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.320 from Murray just in terms of touches per game and 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.880 just kind of production per games. Okay, the great news 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.920 is that he doesn't have to be that guy who 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:30.680 was in Dallas, and it's not going to help the 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:32.760 Eagles for him to try to be that guy. So 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.400 to me, if he gets say eighteen to twenty carries 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.240 a game, maybe even a little less fifteen and eighteen 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.600 carries a game, he'll catch a pass or two, but 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.760 that's not what he's there for. That's why you have Sprowles, 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.240 That's why you have Matthews other guys to do it. 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.040 You can, as we said, mix and match these running 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:53.080 backs to have four hundred plus carries a your five 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.800 hundred carries a year total from this group. They're going 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.520 to leave the league in rushing this year, right and 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.120 certainly when you put that together. The Eagles hope to 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.640 keep Sam Bradford up ranks by not explosing him to 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.560 forty five passes a game. Yes, and I rats for 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.879 Darren Sproles. Just keep doing that and they'll keep the 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.800 offensive move And I look for a big improvement in 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.800 the Eagles in the red zone twenty three in the 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.159 NFL and touchdown etician set a year ago should be 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.639 better with Murray and Matthew Zara now leading receiver for 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.600 the Eagles. Of course, Jordan Matthews, second year player, has 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.959 shown a lot of improvement, will come out of the 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.760 slot and that big body Glenn it's a huge matchup 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.000 problem for defenses. It is a huge matchup problem for defenses. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.480 And he can get lost there in the middle. And 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.760 he's got size, which you really want in a guy 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.240 like that, So I like him. I think that Nelson 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.680 Aguilar is good. Maybe off to a slow start. He's 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.800 a rookie, you know, look to right and see weasly 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.560 more than they used to. But by mid season, when 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.720 they finally figure him out, when he gets some kind 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.160 of timing down with his quarterback, it's gonna be great. 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.080 Can I mention the tight ends here? Yeah? Please, because 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.440 we don't know if zach Ertz when he's gonna play 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.680 and so on. But I will tell you as this 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.680 season goes on, zach Ertz has I think the capability 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.480 this year to catch what five, six, seven passes a week. 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.600 It's just it's just spread the ball around. The numbers, 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.840 I just I don't we're gonna get into fantasy football 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:08.280 here in just a moment, but the numbers to me 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.119 almost irrelevant. In his offense, Chip wants to spread it 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.000 around and just keep creating the right matchups and going 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.480 to those open region It's kind of if you understand it, 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.879 Bradford is. His job is to see the favorable matchup, 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.440 get the football out quickly to that matchup. Whether it's 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.440 Sprolls on the wheel route, whether it's Jordan Matthews in 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.960 the slot, whether it's Zacher's down the seam, there's going 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.000 to be options for the quarterback. You know, the whole 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.600 emphasis of the offseason. And I know the Eagles actually 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.800 in terms of raw numbers, made fewer changes in personnel 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.119 than they had the past two years. And that'll surprise people, 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.280 But there was such an emphasis on getting good, skilled 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.160 position players this offseason. And you know you heard Chips 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.359 quote in the preseason when he said, last year there 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.360 were times during the game I said, who's in there? Oh, 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.919 we can't do this. He's never going to have that 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.400 problem this year as long as these guys stick around. Yeah, 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:58.520 and the defense, guys, look, the Eagles overhauled in the secondary. 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:00.879 The Falcons still try to find their way now. They 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.119 want to play the Seattle Seahawks kind of defense. They 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.639 want to play that man press. With their new head coach, 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.440 they are still trying to build the personnel. They've lost 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.920 their best outside cover linebacker Brooks read he'll miss this 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.120 game with an injury. I just see a really tough 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.200 matchup problem for the Falcons on Monday Night. I don't 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.560 know how they stay with the Eagles tempo, with the 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.119 Eagles speed, and with the Eagles personnel. I think the 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.399 Eagles have a chance to score big time points. I 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:30.359 think they will. Look. Dan Quinn is a terrific defensive coordinator, 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.560 defensive coach. He was the coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks. 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.760 That's a great defense. That said, he hasn't had time 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.520 to get the personnel he wants to get on this 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.680 team yet, So it's going to be a process. Eagles 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:45.119 are going to score somewhere in the thirties. Look it. Okay, Well, 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.080 now we get to the biggest question of all. So 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.199 let's say you had your fantasy football draft already and 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.199 you took DeMarco Murray in the first round and you 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.320 hear Glenn macnow over here saying he's gonna get fifteen 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.560 garries a game, and you're like, no way. Well, we'll 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.520 break it down for you here when we return to 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.679 Eagles three sixty, it's time for our fantasy spin. The 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:10.760 numbers you want to hear, give any more chips fellas. 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.119 I'm sorry, we were daydreaming about that VIP tailgate and 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:21.800 game tickets. Yeah, that pregame sideline experience exactly. I believe 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:26.320 an Eagle season tickets. You both have the new Instant 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:29.160 game from the Pennsylvania Lottery.
