Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It's Eagles three sixty on this Monday, after
Speaker 1: the big loss of the Dallas Cowboys, were welcome you
Speaker 1: to the Novicare Complex. Eagles insider Dave Spidero the Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. Brian Westberku is a nominee for the Pro
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame of finalist. Congratulations, thank you very
Speaker 1: much so we can smile it out something today. One
Speaker 1: day after losening to the Dallas Cowboys, Brian some thoughts
Speaker 1: on what happened at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. We
Speaker 1: just need a lot of things to happen for us.
Speaker 1: We need to exec a lot better. We need our
Speaker 1: offense to try to figure things out. We need guys
Speaker 1: to block a lot better. We need to get the
Speaker 1: run established defense. We still have some work as well.
Speaker 1: The front seven needs to find a way to get
Speaker 1: some more penetration to get to the quarterback. And we
Speaker 1: have to be able to cover in a secondary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the special teams giving up another big play block
Speaker 1: punt returned for a touchdown over two for the special
Speaker 1: teams in two games this season. So it is a
Speaker 1: significant hole for the Philadelphia Eagles. We will talk a
Speaker 1: little later on about us season in the past where
Speaker 1: the Eagles started this way and dug their way out
Speaker 1: of it and made the NFU Championship game that season.
Speaker 1: But a long way to go between now and then.
Speaker 1: Some significant updates here Chip Kelly meeting the media today.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Alex Smith our Eagles three sixty update, injuries,
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more. Hi everyone, Alex Smith here
Speaker 1: with your three sixty update, presented by Sports Authority. No
Speaker 1: practice here at the Novicare Complex today for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: but it was a chance for the team to look
Speaker 1: back at the film from yesterday's disappointing twenty to ten
Speaker 1: loss the hands of the Dallas ol Boys. Today, head
Speaker 1: coach Chip Kelly met with the media explaining what went
Speaker 1: wrong in yesterday's defeat, and according to the head coach,
Speaker 1: it all starts up front with the lack of a
Speaker 1: running game. Now, I mean we didn't run a lot
Speaker 1: of plays, but I mean we ran sweep from running
Speaker 1: back on one side of the quarterback. We ran sweep
Speaker 1: from running back on the same side as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: So we ran sweep with motion. You know, a couple
Speaker 1: of three different ways were running it, but we still
Speaker 1: didn't block them up front, So I don't think that's
Speaker 1: how we were handing it out or what. And the
Speaker 1: formations we were running him out and I think we're
Speaker 1: you know, they were all varied, but we still didn't
Speaker 1: The biggest thing is we didn't stop penetration all night,
Speaker 1: all night long, especially in the ring games. The Eagles
Speaker 1: defense was on the field for eighty five plays and
Speaker 1: yesterday's lost to Dallas. And while Kelly explained that time
Speaker 1: possession doesn't really matter to him the coaching staff, the
Speaker 1: number of plays run does matter. I think it was
Speaker 1: a factor. They were on the field for eighty five snaps.
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's a byproduct of us not
Speaker 1: moving the ball offensively. So we weren't on the field offensively,
Speaker 1: and that's a you know, I'm not a time of
Speaker 1: possession guy, but I am a snap guy. You know,
Speaker 1: you look at the Atlanta game, who was sixty eight seventy.
Speaker 1: You know, that's an even football game, both sides of
Speaker 1: the ball. Everybody played the kind of the same amount.
Speaker 1: But this one was an eighty five sixty game. You
Speaker 1: know that that can't happen. And that's where our offense
Speaker 1: has to be able to help our defense out by.
Speaker 1: We we need to continue drives and we can't go
Speaker 1: three and out. So Kelly also explained that he is
Speaker 1: very confident in the Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford after a
Speaker 1: shaky performance and while Bradford hasn't really been able to
Speaker 1: get anything completed over the top of opposing defenses, Kelly
Speaker 1: once again stated that that has everything to do with
Speaker 1: the Eagles lack of a run game, you know, and
Speaker 1: you've got to establish a run so that that they
Speaker 1: have to commit more people to the run right now.
Speaker 1: Right now, we haven't done anything in the run game
Speaker 1: where a lot of times we saw it, we saw
Speaker 1: all single higher two high safeties and those safeties were
Speaker 1: not involved in the run game at all because they
Speaker 1: didn't have to be in the run game at all.
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, it kind of goes hand
Speaker 1: in hand. When you start to run the football, well,
Speaker 1: you need to now take people from deep and bring
Speaker 1: them up a little bit closer to the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: When that happens, now you have an opportunity to throw
Speaker 1: the ball over the top. Kelly explained that there is
Speaker 1: no injury update at this time on linebackers Key Alonso
Speaker 1: and Michael Kendricks, but be sure to keep it right
Speaker 1: here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com for the latest word
Speaker 1: on their health status. Also, be sure to join us
Speaker 1: for our pre and post practice press conferences as we
Speaker 1: bring them to you live throughout the week right here
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Well, thanks so much, Alex. Ahead.
Speaker 1: In the show, we take a look at some positions
Speaker 1: that need to be improved for the Philadelphia Eagles, not
Speaker 1: just individuals, but very significant spots on this football team.
Speaker 1: Players need to step up. We also take a look
Speaker 1: at around the league. Not everybody's doing all that well.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of teams that are O and two
Speaker 1: that still have high expectations. But when we returned Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty, Brian and I are going to talk about
Speaker 1: what went right and what went wrong for the Eagles
Speaker 1: in their NFC East opener twenty to ten loss to
Speaker 1: those hated Dallas Cowboys. With extra twenty checking from sant ANDERI,

Speaker 1: is rolling into Duncan taste the new Tailgator breakfast sandwich
Speaker 1: stacked with smoked sausage, fire roasted peppers, and onions. America
Speaker 1: runs un, Duncan we welcome you backat Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: Dave Spidery O'Brian Westbrook reviewing the Eagles lost to the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Let's start with some bright spots. You got
Speaker 1: any you know, there were a few bright spots. I
Speaker 1: think Defensively, the front seven did a pretty decent job
Speaker 1: eliminating some of the mistakes that they made early in
Speaker 1: the game. And for a team that was on the
Speaker 1: field the defensive out of the ball for over forty minutes,
Speaker 1: I think they did an okay job. There's still some
Speaker 1: areas that they can improve, and that's really it from
Speaker 1: the bright spots. The other one that I would say
Speaker 1: is the injury to Tony Romo now gives this NFC
Speaker 1: East a wide open look. The Cowboys without Romo, without
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant for likely up to two months, if not longer.
Speaker 1: The Redskins at one and one, the Giants have blown
Speaker 1: to double digit leads in the fourth quarter. They are
Speaker 1: oh and two, So maybe, you know, if Eagles get
Speaker 1: going here against the Jets, turn things around and let's
Speaker 1: harken back to the two thousand and three Eagles season
Speaker 1: loss and Lincoln Financial Field and the opener there against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, a blowout loss to New England on the
Speaker 1: road at Buffalo. The airplane loses altitude and this season
Speaker 1: turned around and you were part of it. How did
Speaker 1: it happen? You know? I think they've started with the
Speaker 1: airplane losing a lot of altitude. Guys were panicking, stewardess
Speaker 1: were yelling and screaming and crying. But in that football game,
Speaker 1: we didn't play a great game. We got a couple
Speaker 1: good individual plays that towards the end of the game
Speaker 1: we found a way to win. I think, just like
Speaker 1: this football team, you have to your big players, your
Speaker 1: money guys, DeMarco Murray, your Nelson Aguila, your Jordan Matthews.
Speaker 1: They had to step up and find a way to
Speaker 1: make a play, make that play where they haven't done that.
Speaker 1: But in that game, I think a lot of guys
Speaker 1: just stepped up. That's what it was. The group effort
Speaker 1: came together, the core guys came together, and they played. Well,
Speaker 1: that's what they have to do, all right, Brian. Yesterday
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Cowboys, the running game is just
Speaker 1: going nowhere, going backwards. In fact, what is happening with
Speaker 1: this running game? Well, you have to have effective line
Speaker 1: play when you win games. We win in the trenches,
Speaker 1: and right now they're not winning in the trenches. Too
Speaker 1: much penetration from tackle to tackle, including the tight end.
Speaker 1: Right now, they're not allowing themselves any chances, and so
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray can't get on track because the offensive line
Speaker 1: is not allowing him the opportunity. Too much penetration in
Speaker 1: the back they were ruining any running game. Have defenses
Speaker 1: kind of correctly anticipated what's coming in a sense figured
Speaker 1: out what this offense is all about. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if they figured it out. I just think that
Speaker 1: at this point they're telling all of their defensive linements
Speaker 1: just don't worry about two gapping, Just get penetration. Go
Speaker 1: straight up the field. And if you have a center
Speaker 1: pulling and your guards not able to down fast enough
Speaker 1: to get that guy that's penetrating, that's going to cause
Speaker 1: problems in the backfield. Those are the guys that are
Speaker 1: making them play. So is it a thing where Jeff
Speaker 1: Stolin says we're gonna change up the way we block
Speaker 1: it up front? You know, it's hard to change schemes
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. Early on in the season,
Speaker 1: But I think at this point you have to start
Speaker 1: doing things a little bit different. Instead of leaving your
Speaker 1: tight end on the island with defensive end, you might
Speaker 1: have to help with the tackle just a bit instead
Speaker 1: of leaving starting your center out starting to pull right
Speaker 1: after the snaps the ball. Maybe he puts a hand
Speaker 1: on this guy before he leaves that situation, and that's
Speaker 1: going to help the guards out of an awful lot.
Speaker 1: Seventy yards rushing for the Eagles in two games, and
Speaker 1: without the run game, Brian Sam Bradford really is ineffective.
Speaker 1: We saw on Sunday a confused looking Bradford, a couple
Speaker 1: of interceptions, a fumble on a bad staff from Jason Kelsey,
Speaker 1: a huge, huge turnover in the red zone. So this
Speaker 1: offense starts with the run game. If that's not going anywhere,
Speaker 1: the passing game getting nothing going down the field, what's
Speaker 1: your solution to fix that? Well, of course you start
Speaker 1: up front again. You need that protection, but I think
Speaker 1: that run game, getting that timpo going, that's the thing
Speaker 1: that you need. And right now they don't have the
Speaker 1: run game. Of course, you want to start getting some quick,
Speaker 1: easy passes to build confidence in your quarterback Sam Bradford.
Speaker 1: But they have to find a way to get those things.
Speaker 1: That means the receivers have to get open. That means
Speaker 1: he needs time to develop those plays. Right now, neither
Speaker 1: one of those things are happening. One year ago, the
Speaker 1: Eagles leading the NFL in special teams play, and in fact,
Speaker 1: the Eagles winning games because of their special teams in
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen hasn't been the case. Through two games this year,
Speaker 1: the Eagles have given up some big plays. Lost the
Speaker 1: hidden yardage battle against Atlanta, and then on Sunday, a
Speaker 1: big play early in the second half, a blocked punt
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown, the Cowboys executing it perfectly over
Speaker 1: John Dornboss and Brian Brayman. They timed it upright and
Speaker 1: they made the big play blocking Donnie Jones punt. Brian.
Speaker 1: We kind of took for granted if these special teams
Speaker 1: would be even better this year. Boy, coaches in the
Speaker 1: league are pretty smart. Yeah, they're very smart. And every
Speaker 1: year you're putting stuff one film that can possibly be
Speaker 1: used by other staffs so they can defeat you. And
Speaker 1: so every year you have to be excellent in your personnel,
Speaker 1: but you have to be excellent in your execution and
Speaker 1: right now they're not excellent in your execution and punt team.
Speaker 1: All it is is about counting the numbers, understanding who
Speaker 1: your guy is and blocking that guy. You also understand
Speaker 1: that they're going to run some stunts. They're gonna try
Speaker 1: to pick the center, pick the guard on those types
Speaker 1: of situations, and you have to have somebody to pick
Speaker 1: that up. Their personal protector has to help out. So
Speaker 1: not a lot went right for the Eagles on Sunday.
Speaker 1: One thing that was okay the Eagles in past defense,
Speaker 1: and we go to our All twenty two review with
Speaker 1: NFL Film Senior producer Greg Cosell. He talks about a
Speaker 1: play Damiko Ryan's made in the end zone, among others
Speaker 1: kind of highlights in the past defense. Yesterday, the Eagles
Speaker 1: lost to the Cowboys in a disappointing game, but their
Speaker 1: defense really stood out. Let me show you a few
Speaker 1: of the plays that really impressed me. This was another
Speaker 1: outstanding play by the Eagles defense in the first quarter
Speaker 1: and it's saved a touchdown. Now, I want to show
Speaker 1: you the design of the play from the Cowboys perspective.
Speaker 1: It's play action in the backfield and Tony Romo is
Speaker 1: trying to get the ball right here to Jason Witten,
Speaker 1: who's going to leak behind the defense, because the whole
Speaker 1: idea is for the play action to impact a Miko
Speaker 1: Ryans who's aligned over Witten. So Ryan steps forward and
Speaker 1: Witten gets behind him and it's an easy touchdown. But
Speaker 1: you know who really made this play Fletcher Cox right here.
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox got in quick and their timing and this
Speaker 1: needed to be very precise, and Romo's timing was off
Speaker 1: and he was late with his throw. Let's clear the
Speaker 1: screen and see what happens as we run this play.
Speaker 1: Look at Cox get in quickly. Romo need to plan
Speaker 1: early and deliver. He could not. Ryan's was able to
Speaker 1: recover and make a terrific play in the end zone
Speaker 1: to save it touchdown. This was the very last play
Speaker 1: from scrimmage in the first half. At this point, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys led three to nothing. Tony Romo needed to go
Speaker 1: to the end zone here or they would not be
Speaker 1: time for a field goal. Now what Romo wanted here
Speaker 1: was his big tight end Escobar aligned right here. He's
Speaker 1: matched on Nolan Carroll the corner. That's who Romo wanted
Speaker 1: to get the ball to now Chris Maragos, who's right here.
Speaker 1: He initially started close to the line of scrimmage. Maragos
Speaker 1: did a really good job. He kind of baited Romo
Speaker 1: and you'll see as the play starts and we clear
Speaker 1: the screen that he dropped out and took away the
Speaker 1: inside route by Escobar. Beautifully done. Romo forced to come
Speaker 1: off that he had to get the ball to the
Speaker 1: end zone. He threw an incompletion, an excellent job by Maragos,
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys were forced to kick a field goal.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Greg, Well being oh and two, it stinks.
Speaker 1: We all agree with that. You agree with that, We
Speaker 1: agree with that, everybody in the building agrees with that.
Speaker 1: But it is not the end of the world. We
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier two thousand and three of the
Speaker 1: Eagles reaching the NFC Championship game after starting oh and two,
Speaker 1: and if you look around the league, which will do
Speaker 1: when we return to Eagles three sixty and two. A
Speaker 1: common theme among some teams who have playoff aspirations experience
Speaker 1: the power of physical therapy and Novocare rehabilitation. We know
Speaker 1: the importance of an active lifestyle. If you're currently injured,

Speaker 1: This is Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero, Brian Westbrook, the
Speaker 1: Eagles owen two. Looking for some good answers here this
Speaker 1: week against the Jets, oh and two around the league,
Speaker 1: Brian seven other teams, potentially eight other teams. If the
Speaker 1: Colts lose tonight, O and two among them Seattle Detroit,
Speaker 1: a lot of people loving that team. The NFC's as
Speaker 1: you see it, is it wide open. I really do
Speaker 1: believe that NFC still is wide open when you think
Speaker 1: about it. That the Giants are o and two, that
Speaker 1: gives us a chance. There the Redskins, who we still
Speaker 1: don't really believe in our one to one, and then
Speaker 1: the Cowboys without Tony Romo, without Dez Brian are two
Speaker 1: and ow and so we believe that those teams right
Speaker 1: there will slip just a bit. That gives a lot
Speaker 1: of opportunity for the Philadelphia Eagles football team. And I
Speaker 1: still think they have a lot of room ahead of
Speaker 1: them to continue to get better, to execute much better
Speaker 1: and perform their game plan. The Washington Redskins one and
Speaker 1: one leading the NFL in rushing Brian, so they have
Speaker 1: something to hang their hat on offensively, along with the
Speaker 1: defenses played well. Yeah, the rosters and riskans have played well.
Speaker 1: It kind of gone pass the RG three thing and
Speaker 1: now they're depending on their run game and their defense
Speaker 1: to win football games. And you've talked to any player,
Speaker 1: any analysts, they need a run game and you need
Speaker 1: a defense to play well, and that's what the riskers
Speaker 1: have Little Ball. How much can the Cowboys sustain without
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, without Dez Bryant, with Brandon Weedon at quarterback,
Speaker 1: with Joseph Randall at running back, without Randy Gregory. Greg
Speaker 1: Hardy's still out for two games, the Cowboys two and oh,
Speaker 1: But you wonder how they can continue to win without
Speaker 1: so many key pieces. They're getting some great coaching, and
Speaker 1: they're playing really good physical defense. They're playing aggressive physical defense.
Speaker 1: But I'm a firm believer that no team in this
Speaker 1: NFL can win a lot of games and make it
Speaker 1: to the playoffs without a franchise type of quarterback, and
Speaker 1: Brandon Weeden is not that guy. I think Joseph Randall
Speaker 1: is actually gonna be okay behind that offensive line, and
Speaker 1: that defense is still suspect in my mind, losing Gregory
Speaker 1: and some other players not getting hard at Scandrick as well,
Speaker 1: and so I still think that the Cowboys have a
Speaker 1: long way to go, especially with Brandon Wheaton at the
Speaker 1: helm of their offense, the Giants losing Eric Flowers with
Speaker 1: an injury of their left tackle on Sunday against the Falcons,
Speaker 1: and once again in position like they were a week
Speaker 1: earlier to beat the Cowboys. On Sunday, the Giants had
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons on the ropes and couldn't hold on
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarters. So they're at O and two team.
Speaker 1: They play the Redskins this week key nfcast battle on
Speaker 1: Thursday night, and the Giants I think maybe maybe the
Speaker 1: perrupts the most dangerous of the other three teams in
Speaker 1: the division. I think they get Victor Cruz back, They're
Speaker 1: very potent offensively, and the defense kind of playing some
Speaker 1: solid defense other than what happened yesterday with Julio Jones, yeah,
Speaker 1: was the Giants. They're they're actually scoring points. They're finding
Speaker 1: a way to put the points on the board. However,
Speaker 1: they're not They're losing games that they bury in. So
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that can be corrected.
Speaker 1: And so truthfully, I'm not so worried about the risk
Speaker 1: because I'm not so worried about the Cowboys because their
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. But the Giants are a team that if
Speaker 1: they get Cruise back and they continue to find a
Speaker 1: way to win, at the end, they have to just
Speaker 1: do one more quarter of football or even a half
Speaker 1: of a quarter of football. Then they they're actually two
Speaker 1: and oh instead of oh and two. That's a big difference.
Speaker 1: That's the team that I'm worried about just a bit there.
Speaker 1: But with all that being said, the Eagles that in
Speaker 1: this division are still wide open. They're still a great opportunity.
Speaker 1: Even after Owens two start for the bird we are
Speaker 1: just two games in people the Seahawks into the Ravens
Speaker 1: and two, the Saints in two, Detroit is in two,
Speaker 1: and Chicago and two with a quarterback with a hamstring full,
Speaker 1: so the Bears could be in a whole lot of trouble.
Speaker 1: We hope that's not the case here in Philadelphia. Now.
Speaker 1: For the Eagles to turn things around, a lot of
Speaker 1: players and a lot of positions have to turn it around.
Speaker 1: And when we return the Eagles three sixty, Brian and
Speaker 1: I will talk about some position groups that need to
Speaker 1: produce your best ends against prostate cancer is early detection.
Speaker 1: Prostate cancer shows no symptoms in it's earlier stages, when
Speaker 1: it's more treatable. Talk to your doctor about whether screening

Speaker 1: You'll love it. Welcome back, Dave Spidero, Brian Westbrook, Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty. We come your way every day, Monday through
Speaker 1: Friday at five o'clock. Eagles getting ready for Week three,
Speaker 1: trying to put that game against Dallas behind them. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about some positions that must be better. We begin
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, Brian, no personnel changes. The five
Speaker 1: you see are the five you're going to see moving forward,
Speaker 1: and that means Jason Peters and Alan Barber and Jason
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Andrew Gardner and Lane Johnson and Brent Sellick
Speaker 1: got to play play better run the football. How do
Speaker 1: you do it well? They first have to communicate a
Speaker 1: lot better. I saw it in the first game evening
Speaker 1: as well as this game. They weren't communicating very well.
Speaker 1: And so when you're passing off games from guard to
Speaker 1: center and guard to tackle, you have to communicate better.
Speaker 1: You have to pass those things off much better. And
Speaker 1: they have to also find a way to be better
Speaker 1: on their double teams. If their double teams is intended
Speaker 1: for the guard and center to double team the three
Speaker 1: technique up to the linebacker, you have to get that
Speaker 1: guard off and to get up to that linebacker instead
Speaker 1: of allowing Sean Lee to run around all day long
Speaker 1: without getting touched. So they have to do that better.
Speaker 1: And then the last thing they have to stop the penetration.
Speaker 1: They have to play on the defensive side of the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And if they do that, though would
Speaker 1: be much better than playing on the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the line of scream. And if they do that, the
Speaker 1: passing game will get going. In We'll see what this
Speaker 1: group of wide receivers can do. Chip Kelly has talked
Speaker 1: throughout the summer here and the early part of the
Speaker 1: season about the depth and the talented wide receiver. We
Speaker 1: just haven't seen the explosive plays that we've been accustomed
Speaker 1: to in chip Kelly's first two seasons. Where is Riley Cooper?
Speaker 1: Where is Josh Huff, Where is Miles Offson? Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: shut out in the first half on Sunday A Nelson
Speaker 1: Agilore an intermediate route runner at this point, nothing down
Speaker 1: the field? Brian, how did the Eagles stretch out these
Speaker 1: defenses that seem to be creeping closer and closer to
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmer. Where You're absolutely right, defenses are
Speaker 1: creeping closer and closer to the line of scrimmage. And
Speaker 1: so what you have to do is maybe, even if
Speaker 1: you don't complete it, take a shot down the field
Speaker 1: that's going to make a safety at least. Think about
Speaker 1: the deep, the deep route, the gold routes, the deep slants,
Speaker 1: things like that, the post those types of routes that
Speaker 1: the safeties have to worry about, but in this offense
Speaker 1: they haven't been worried at all. The other thing I
Speaker 1: would do is I would design certain plays. I need
Speaker 1: to get Nelson Aguilar involved in the game plan early on.
Speaker 1: I want to design a few plays early on to
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands, just to get his
Speaker 1: juices flowing. Riley Cooper the same thing. Get his juices flowing.
Speaker 1: You have a screen or two here for a Josh Huff,
Speaker 1: get his juices going. Don't just try to get Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews involved. Get the other guys involved as well. That's
Speaker 1: going to open up things for everyone on this offense.
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, outside linebacker with
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham and with Connor Barwin need more pass rush punch.
Speaker 1: Eagles were able to rotate three outside linebackers last year
Speaker 1: with Trent Cole in the mix. That depth is not
Speaker 1: there now and Graham's struggling Connor Barwin playing well, but
Speaker 1: it's not been enough to really force quarterbacks out of
Speaker 1: their comfort zone, and as a result, the Eagles secondary
Speaker 1: at times has given up some big, big plays. How
Speaker 1: do you unleash a pass rush? You know? I think
Speaker 1: one of the things that Billy Davis has tried to
Speaker 1: do is blitz just a bit more. I think the
Speaker 1: blitz is starting to get to some teams. Unfortunately, that's
Speaker 1: going to leave is susceptible on the back end of
Speaker 1: the defense. And so now I just need corner Barwin,
Speaker 1: I need Brandon Graham, I need Benny Kerry, Fletcher Cox
Speaker 1: as Will. I need you to win your one on
Speaker 1: one battles. These guys are talented guys. These are the
Speaker 1: guys that you brought in here to get that pass rush.
Speaker 1: I think they can do it. They just have to
Speaker 1: get consistent in winning those battles, and if they do that,
Speaker 1: that's going to take a lot of pressure off of
Speaker 1: the secondary. In a span of one afternoon, the Eagles
Speaker 1: inside linebacker position when from deep and talented and promising
Speaker 1: to really concerning the injury t Kiko Alonzo Michael Kendricks
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury, and suddenly third round draft picked
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks in the middle of the action. Moving forward,
Speaker 1: he says he's ready. He played well on Sunday, but
Speaker 1: a lot of responsibility for Hicks alongside Demiko Ryans, who's
Speaker 1: clearly not all the way back to that achilles tendon injury.
Speaker 1: Suddenly the Eagles looking at an inside linebacker spot. It's
Speaker 1: very similar to what it was last year. Lots of
Speaker 1: injuries and questionable depth. You know, you want that depth,
Speaker 1: that inside linebacker, especially with Demiko Ryans coming off that achilles.
Speaker 1: The one thing you have to worry about is that
Speaker 1: defense being on the field too long and so that
Speaker 1: may speak to the offense just a bit, but you
Speaker 1: need great play out of Jordan Hicks. Hey, listen, you're
Speaker 1: a young guy, but at this point you have to
Speaker 1: grow up. This is a conversation that the lot of
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have with him. We can't. We don't
Speaker 1: have time for you to play like a rookie. We
Speaker 1: don't have time for you to act like a rookie.
Speaker 1: We need you to play like a veteran. We need
Speaker 1: you right now, So step your game up. Damiko Ryans
Speaker 1: is going to go on long way into Jordan Hicks's development. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's what we see. The Eagles needs step ups
Speaker 1: from just about everybody on this roster, every position group
Speaker 1: hum this roster to turn things around. We'll be back
Speaker 1: in just a moment. Some final thoughts here on Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty With extra twenty checking from sant ANDERI, you
Speaker 1: can get paid twenty dollars a month just direct deposit
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars or more and pay two bills a
Speaker 1: month with the online bill pay feature. Then you can

Speaker 1: it works. So what are you waiting for? I got tickets,
