Dave Spidero Joe the camera and 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.360 we've got some Eagles news to talk about. On this day. 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.280 The Eagles officially annow seeing that fifth round graph pick 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.760 Halla Pola vati Vye Ti big v big vy vye 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.839 tie what everyone, key, he's your starting right tackle, So 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:51.040 Joe instead of moving pieces around the Eagles, just promoting 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.120 the rookie. Yeah, and so obviously less change and big 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.880 responsibility on Vietai now to step into that that right 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.800 tackle role for Lane Johnson. So eighty percent of the 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.640 line and obviously stays intact and hopefully we'll continue to 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.360 bar an injury. But big responsibility now on Vietai for sure, 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.319 you know, at this stage of his career to have 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.959 to step in there day, that's a big spot for 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.920 him and for the team. On the road FedEx Field 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:18.920 Rauca's Environment NFC East opener. What an assignment for Vietai, 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.600 What a challenge for the Eagles. Let's get your caught 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.040 up with everything happening on this Wednesday. Hur Eagles three 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.520 sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi, everyone, I'm Alex Smith 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.760 and this is your three sixty update. The Eagles continue 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.000 to work towards Sunday's meeting with the Washington Redskins, and 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.759 the big story today was Eagles head coach Doug Peterson 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.880 naming rookie fifth round pick Hollapoolavadi Vitai as a team 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.240 starting right tackle with Lane Johnson being suspended for the 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.840 next ten games. And today we heard from Peterson and 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.760 players inside the locker room on what they've seen from 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.800 Vitai dating all the way back to training camp up 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.600 until now. I'd tell you he's worked extremely hard. He's 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.040 another one of those kids that he's gone against our 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:05.200 defensive front not only through training camp, but but practice 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:09.000 against him every single day. Um. Smart kid, athletic kids, 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.440 strong kid. I'm just excited to watch him play ONFF Sunday. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.520 You know, he's been in the room all year, so 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.000 you know, he's familiar with all the calls. He's familiar 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.240 with everything. I think it would be the biggest thing 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:24.120 would be him and him and Brooks's technique together and 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.280 working together in communication well first and foremuch. Let Gi 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.120 him commence that you know when he's out there and 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.720 he has to beg a decision with him own that 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.079 he's gonna make the right decision. You're each and every time, 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.079 you know, I don't want everyone to I guess to 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.120 be on his back, you know too much canceling this 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.639 year talking to him. But if you ask any questions, 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.840 needs and to help, you know, I'm here to help 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.000 him out. As for Vitai himself, the rookie out of TCU, 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.040 says that he's just excited and looking forward to the 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:55.200 opportunity of starting on Sunday. It's a good opportunity. I'm 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.120 gonna take it. I mean, it's unfortune for a lane, 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.880 but life gotta be the next man stand up coming 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.040 on however, are you feel in it? But I'm excited 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.440 to go out there. After pre season, you know, I'm 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.480 getting the field, the field of the environment. That's what 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.560 helped me get better, well, just to get used to 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.400 the environment. And then once you know I made the 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.280 team and everything, throwing against BGS just makes me confident 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.800 even more. And finally we'll close things out here with 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.120 an injury update. Three players sat out today for the Eagles. 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.799 That's Brian Brayman with a shoulder, Fletcher Cox with an ankle, 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.920 and Leodis McKelvin with the hamstring, though head coach Doug 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.640 Peterson did say that he expects all three players to 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.280 be okay for Sunday's game. Meanwhile, for the Washington Redskins, 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.720 tight end Jordan Reid is in the concussion protocol, so 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.920 we'll have to see how that progresses throughout the week. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.160 Read is one of Washington's top targets on offense. So 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.760 for complete coverage of everything going on here at the 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.880 Novicare Complex, including press conference from Carson Wentz, Doug Peterson, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.520 and Malcolm Jenkins, stay right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:06.040 Com and the official Eagles mobile app. Thanks so much, Alex, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.160 you know there is their twelve storylines here. I mean, 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.000 the Eagles haven't won in Washington since twenty thirteen. The 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.680 Eagles defense will be challenged big time in this game. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.440 Let me ask you this, Joe, do you think it's 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.240 more on the offense or more on the defense on Sunday? 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:22.800 I don't know, I don't I don't know if I 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.120 think in those terms. You know, both both sides have 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.320 to play well. I think obviously, coming off the first 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.400 half performance for the defense the other day, you know, 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.760 you want to see them re establish earlier. Look, they 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.520 did a terrific job in the second half, but they 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.520 just you know, the team was in a twenty one 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.440 day up twenty one points, all three drives seventy five 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.200 yards and longer in that first half, So I guess, 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.400 you know, look, both sides matter. What I'd say is 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.360 I'd like to see the defense earlier establish itself being 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.240 the kind of defense that we think they are, and 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.120 that for one half this season they weren't asked. And 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.360 then the other question, do the Eagles play it conservatively 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.920 with vitiet right tackle? Thinking back to two thou in seven, 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.400 when Andy Reid started Winston Justice at right tackle at 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.400 the Giants, OCU Manora went off for six sacks, a 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.159 lot of one on one blocking there. Well to this day, 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.160 and look, I got an amazing respect for Annie read 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.520 the job he did. But to this day I can 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.919 still hear John Madden broadcasting that game almost with disgust 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.279 shock that Annie didn't help Winston Justice after the third sack, 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.640 after the fourth sack, after the fifth sac Yeah, I 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.320 mean I would suppose. I mean, I think to a 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.680 certain instant the day that's also in the game in 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.120 the flow of the game based on how's it going. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.719 You know, you got to make those kind of adjustments 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.240 in the game. Now, what would they do out of 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.200 the gate? Yeah, I mean maybe maybe a little be 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.159 a little bit more help, you know, running back, chipping 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.760 a tight own over there, a little bit more stuff 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.760 like that. But but you know, again, you've got to 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.880 manage your situations in the game. And to your point 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.000 from O seven, I just thought, Andy, let that game 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.960 just get wildly out of control. We don't want to 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.960 repeat of that on Sunday at all at Fedexel. Much 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.280 to get to on Eagles three sixty. Today we'll talk 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.600 about the Eagles and the Redskins, though rivalry offensive coordinator 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.960 Frank Reich in studio to talk about the development of 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.800 quarterback Carson Wins and the offense, and when we returned 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.680 Eagles three sixty, our first look at the surging three 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:15.599 wins in a row.

Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins, Joe, 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.560 did you know the first of three games in the 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.880 next four weeks against the NFC East. It gets real, 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.080 all of a sudden, it does, and it gets hard, 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.400 it really does. I mean, Washington three in a row. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.480 Said they're three and two. You know, you look inside 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.240 the schedule we see here and you know, of course 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.600 the Vikings at five and oh Sam Bradford playing really well, 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.040 that'll be that'll be a fun game. I mean, we'll 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.400 see how it goes. Vikings defense obviously has played great 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.040 cowboys as we know, also surging at four and one. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.280 You know, I would think the main threat for the 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:38.920 Eagles in the division. But we'll see the way that 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.080 the situation shakes out. The Giants on the road two 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.199 and three not a great team, but nothing yet where 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.280 you can, you know, say they're buried. And then beyond 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.920 that beyond the screen, Dave, you know it continues with 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.720 just a bunch of tough games. Eagles schedule remaining is 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.360 as of right now, the hardest schedule left in the NFL. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.760 So they they they're gonna have to put some work in, clearly, 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.319 which is why it hurts that the Eagles couldn't went 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.480 on Sunday in Detroit. But we are moving on and 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.560 we are moving on to FedEx Field on Sunday. Our 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.520 first look here at the Washington Redskins, who lost their 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.760 first two games of this twenty sixteen season, have won 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:17.240 three straight, including a defensive struggle in Windy Baltimore last week. Joe, 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.400 we begin at the quarterback position, where Kirk Cousins playing 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.160 on the franchise tag, starting slowly, but still the numbers 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.680 look good. Yeah, he looks. Kirk Cousins has picked it 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.200 up clearly. Now. He's not playing great, he's not playing 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.000 at the same level he did last year, but he's 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.319 certainly playing better than he did in those first two 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.320 games where there was a lot a lot of chiff 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.599 and going on about Kirk Cousins and shouldn't be the 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.920 quarterback with the Washington Redskins and all that and you 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.679 know he's stabilized the season clearly for them, and in 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.439 a dave, I think when you look inside Kirk Cousins, 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:45.960 you go back to last year in the job that 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.560 he did, it was impressive. I mean, I for one, 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.240 was not a believer frankly that Kirk Cousins was probably 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.000 gonna win a division. I think a lot of things 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.160 work to his benefit. What happened here in Philly with 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.760 Chip Kelly, Tony Romo being out in things of that nature. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.720 But Kirk Cousins did a nice job and he wants 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.280 some game, especially down the stretch, so you know he's 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.560 okay right now. Completion percentage, though, is really impressive, you know, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.880 right there with Carson Wentz at sixty seven percent, and 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.640 you know he's a player that's he can manage a 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.679 game and sometimes do a little more. Last year, six 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.480 hundred and fifty five yards, five touchdowns in two wins 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:21.320 against the Eagles in the backfield, Washington really not running 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.840 the ball with tremendous success, mixing it up a little 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.200 bit as the Eagles are in the backfield, yeah they are. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:28.800 And you know we were so used to Alfred Mars 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.120 back there for Washington and of course he's no longer there, 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.400 still in the division, but not with the Redskins. So 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.839 you know, for the Washington Redskins, you know, you look 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.040 at Matt Jones and his first year as a starter 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.160 four point one yards to carry, he's he's okay, not great, 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.679 but for the lower runner, yeam, power runner. But for them, 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.160 a lot's about that passing game, Davis, we know, and 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.280 what they can do. You know, with the wide receivers 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:52.000 Seawan Jackson obviously still a threat, low on receptions as 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.080 he frequently is, but highland yards per per catch, at 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.560 fifteen point four yards per catch, Washington will spread you out. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.720 And you wonder about the blueprint here that Detroit showed 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.080 spreading the Eagles defense out, forcing the Eagles into coverage. 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.880 And in that scenario, Kirk Cousins can throw to Jackson, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.760 Pierre Garson, Jamison Crowder in the slot. They are a 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.959 very good team to defenses. Washington all kinds of banged 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.240 up coming into this one. Eagles hoping to play as 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.280 they did in the second half against the Detroit Lions. Yeah, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.680 and look, I thought, Carson Wentz, you did a nice job. Agan, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:26.800 even in the first half when the Eagles are losing 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.160 what was the twenty one to ten and a half time. 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:29.920 The Eagles had scored on two of the three possessions 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.839 in the first half, a touchdown and a field goal. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.600 They just weren't that many possessions. There are only six 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.080 possessions in the first half total both teams combine. So 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:37.760 I thought it was another good game for Carson Wentz 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.079 obviously from his standpoint, you know, he'll look to you 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.040 to get the teammates involved. Here. Washington not a particularly 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.600 good defense twenty seventh as far as yards allowed, nineteenth 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.160 and points. They've really struggled against the run. Davis. We know, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.000 you know, Washington thirtieth in the NFL against the runs. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.800 You would hope for some opportunity for the Eagles. You know, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.120 four running backs in that sense against Washington. They've got 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.120 eleven Saxson, they've got eight takeaways, and Eagles know that 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.400 you win three games you don't turn the football over 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.280 all of a sudden. You turn it over twice in 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.000 the fourth quarter in Detroit, and what happens, You'll lose 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.320 the ball game. It's all about the giveaways, all right. 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.920 More to get to here on Eagles three sixty offensive 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.200 coordinator Frank Reich is up next here in studio talking 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.280 about what else the development of Carson Wentz.

Unduncan trying to talk a 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.280 little bit about the Eagles offense Eagles insider Dave Spidero 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.680 along with offensive coordinator Frank Raich and Frank, let's talk 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.040 about where this offense is after four games? How do 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.520 you feel about things? Just in general? I think we're 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.000 made some good strides. You know, you go with a 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.600 quarterback who his name start or Week one and a 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.080 rookie quarterback, He's Carson's done very well and the main 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.000 reason is he's a good talent around him. So we've 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.320 made good strides in a running game. It's been consistently 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.520 getting better, and I think we're at an area right 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.280 now that that's going to help any quarterback, but especially 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.640 young quarterback. Are you seeing things that defenses are doing 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.360 that would indicate that they've kind of feel like they 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.680 feel like they know you a little bit. Yeah, I 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.200 don't think so. Um, you know, teams are always gonna 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.080 once you get formational stuff, tendencies teams, you know, because 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.400 we're always trying to counter that stuff as well. So 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.080 I haven't felt that at this point. Okay, let's talk 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.160 about Carson in the development week one through the fourth game. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.800 Where has he improved the most? You know, I think 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.360 he's it's the consistency of the decision making, you know. 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.600 I mean, now, when you throw thirty some passes a game, 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.320 you know, that's a lot of pressure. That's a lot 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.480 of pressure on you to make a lot of good decisions. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.760 And the fact that you know, we've gone four games 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.840 and he's thrown one interception and that doesn't even tell 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.120 you all the other good little decisions within the decisions 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.800 that you make. So there's been a lot of positive 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.080 things there. We talk a lot about being disciplined, you know, 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.880 it's a it's a combination of playing with discipline, but 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.720 trusting your instincts and letting your talent take over when 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.680 it can. And I think we've seen some of that. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.960 I look back to Sunday and the Eagles are down 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.640 twenty one seven, a time when some quarterbacks really kind 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.280 of just start to hurry, and it didn't seem like 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.480 his demeanor changed at all. What was it abow to know, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.000 it really didn't. On the sideline, there was no change 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.920 in the demeanor, and really the whole offense, he just 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.040 felt like we just felt confident that we were going 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.280 to continue to play well, get back in the game, 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.200 you know, our defense, and we just knew that the 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.320 defense was going to shut him down in the second half, 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.000 and you know, we had to just keep moving the 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.960 ball and scoring. So in particular, I think Carson showed 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.680 me a lot, you know, for the first time of 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.680 kind of being down and fighting back to get in it. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.400 Three four games. Offensive line, give me the great, give 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.360 me the give me the analysis. I think it's I 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.720 think it's above average, you know, I think it's good. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.680 I think the offensive line has played well. I think 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.920 we've protected well. We've had a few little slip ups 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.400 here and there, and then in the running game. I 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.520 just really think that we're making good progress there. Frank 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.400 at wide receiver, a lot of receivers in and out, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.800 using them in different roles, and Doyle greenback into somebody 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.600 who I know the fans are really interested in. As 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.920 you look at him. What do you see in terms 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.600 of his growth? You know, I see a guy who 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.680 is just more his guys, very comfortable in his own skin, 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.920 knows who he is, and he's a big play guy. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.440 You know that doesn't mean you're throwing deep to him 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.760 all the time. I mean, for instance, this last week, 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.960 you know we told him Saturday night, Hey, one of 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:10.440 the big players, we wanted to making a game. We're 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.200 gonna throw you a little smoke screen and the big players, 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:14.800 you're going to run over that one hundred and ninety 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.040 pound dB because you weigh two hundred and thirty pounds. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.480 And you saw him do that a couple times, and 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.360 you know that those are good, easy completions. But when 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.000 you get a mismatch, he's doing stuff like that, and 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:26.879 then we'll continue to find ways to get him the 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.399 ball down the field. Speaking of getting the ball in 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.639 the hands of playmakers, I remember talking to you in 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.600 the spring and you were so excited about the idea 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.359 of Darren Sproles in this offense and using him in 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.040 a variety of ways. How's that going. Yeah, it's gone 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.720 as expected, And you know you still want to get 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.160 him even more involved just because You've seen the screens 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.440 that he's made big plays on, you know, coming out 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.920 of the backfield, scrambling, you know, big runs. You know, 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:55.359 obviously ran the ball very well. So what you love 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.760 most about Darren is way practices. He's such a team player. 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.040 But then you get the ball in his hands and 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.119 he's an exciting player, you know when he has the 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.040 ball in his hands. Washington the opponent on Sunday the 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.760 NFC East begins. Joe Barry is their defensive coordinator. You 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.600 know him from previous coaching stops in general, what kind 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.960 of concepts to the Redskins run? You know there there 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.640 are a middlefield closed team, meaning you know they want 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.040 to they want to kind of get some guys around 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.320 their line of scrim and stop the run. They'll play, 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.080 you know, they'll play the three deep zone, but they'll 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.680 mix it up with enough man and then you know, 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:29.680 Joe always has a little bit of Tampa two. He 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.760 was back with Tony Dungee and that crew back in 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.160 the day, so he's pretty well schooled in the old 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.560 school Tampa two as well. So you got to be 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.320 ready for that. But Joe is a very good defensive coach. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.240 I have a lot, a lot of respect for Joe. 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.960 Really good football coach. I know those guys will be 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.480 well coached and it'll be a formidable challenge when you're 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.800 studying and preparing for that. How far back do you go, Frank? 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.680 Do you go back to that Tampa two stuff and 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.800 watch it again or do you watch just what he's 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.520 done this year? Yeah, you know, obviously his last you know, 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.800 last year we watched some of that, you know, and 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.000 you got the first you know, five games this year 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.560 for Washington. So a lot of times what you do is, 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.400 you know, you take five games is plenty this year, 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:11.960 but then you want to find, you know, some situational 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.480 stuff from last year. See if you can find a 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.159 few extra tidbits, you know, third down, red zone and 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.480 some other areas that you go back and see. You're 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.320 trying to confirm things that you think. Sometimes you find 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.160 it when you go back that force. Sometimes you don't, 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:24.960 But you just always want to do the due diligence. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:26.600 What's next for the offense, Frank, what do you want 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.640 to see? You know, we just win these close games, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.400 you know, when you know, you know, to finish the game. 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:34.080 When when you get a chance to finish the game. 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.880 You know, let's put it away. Let's have the opportunity 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.240 to put it away and uh and let's have a 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.919 dominant run game performance. You know, where we put up 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.399 one hundred fifty two two hundred yards. That's that's that 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.439 doesn't happen that often in the NFL. But I think 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.040 we got the guys to do that. Have teams started 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.880 attacking Carson in any particular way now that they've gotten 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.800 more tabel No. I mean, you know you've seen some 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:56.760 teams try to press them a little bit. Some teams 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.760 try to drop eight. This last week, you know, against Detroit, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.639 it was a key third down, they dropped eight, you know, 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.560 and he found a really small window and made a 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.320 big made a big conversion. Another third down where he 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.160 hit Jordan, it was kind of it was cover one, 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.399 it was kind of tight coverage. He boomed. He made 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.000 a big play right there. So teams are mixing it up. 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:16.600 I think that's what they're gonna do to him. You know, 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.120 they know he's a smart enough guy. You don't want 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:20.760 to just try to do one thing. I think teams 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.280 will continue to mix it up. It's weird calling him 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.480 a rookie. I mean it really, it's he just doesn't 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.600
