WEBVTT - Eagles 360: Spying Cam 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.400 We welcome you into Eagles three sixty Eagles insider Dave's 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.600 but they're along with Joe di camera Eagles preparing for Carolina, 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:44.640 another primetime game for this football team, the prime time Eagles, 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.640 and on Sunday night, Joe, it's a battle against an 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.240 unbeaten and are they for real Carolina Panthers team? That's 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.880 the question that everybody wants. How good at the Eagles? 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.760 And are the Panthers really that good? I still think 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.680 Carolina is a little bit of a mystery, Dave, because 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.400 you know, you look at the first four teams they 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.080 beat this year, they weren't very good, and then last 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.680 week what seemed to be a very impressive win versus Seattle. 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.280 But now there's some confusion. How good really are the 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.080 Seattle Seahawks. I thought they'd be very good at the 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.520 very least. I thought they'd be strong, solid, maybe not 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.000 truly great like past couple of years. Carolina's got a 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.440 quarterback in Cam Newton who's had an up and down career, 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.560 but obviously a terrific defense is playing great defense right now. 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.440 It's gonna be a challenge day for the Eagles on 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.120 the road versus the Carolina Panthers. But here's the good thing. 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.480 Eagles are playing their best football the year. They just 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.640 come off a twenty point win versus the New York Giants. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.440 Obviously Sam Bradford has to play better, but the defense 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.039 was just electric versus New York. The pass rush was 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:35.920 great and you want to keep that going. Yeah, a 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.560 turnaround game for the Eagles. Is this the win against 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.520 the Giants that gives the Eagles that moving forward momentum, Joe, 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.840 that carries them to the top of the NFC East 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.000 for good? Yeah? Well, they're there right now in its eye, 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.720 and it's a weak division as we know, so we'll 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.560 see if the Eagles are able ultimately to sustain what 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.360 they've done the last two weeks and keep it going. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.520 I think the Eagles are in pretty good shape right now, 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.760 but of course it's not about just being good or 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.200 just getting to the playoffs. You want to see the 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.640 Eagles really hit their stride to become a great football team. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.000 And I think it's fair to say, Dave, they're not 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.560 quite there yet for sure. For sure, absolutely lots to 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.520 work on on this football team. Eagles on the training 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.760 field today and the coordinators meeting the media and We've 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.440 got you covered here at our Eagles at three to 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:22.160 sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.440 and this is your three sixty update. The Eagles have 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.680 a short week of practice here at the Novicare Complex. 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.800 What they were back out on the practice field today 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.639 as they get set for Sunday night's showdown in Charlotte 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.520 against the Panthers. Today we heard from defensive coordinator Bill 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.519 Davis and some of the defensive players about the challenges 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.560 of defending the very talented Cam Newton. I played against 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.720 the mccomage. He's a big boy, and you know, I 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.320 don't think you know, he's gonna take a few people 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.320 to bring it down. You know, it's yourself tall and 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.320 pound for tonight, So sometimes people bring it down. You know, 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.760 Cam is really it does jump out at the progression 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.160 he's made over his career in this year. He's he's 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.680 really running the offense at a high rate right now. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.200 Oh man, he's a big he's a big guy. But 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.320 you know that I'll take the credit from missabuilding them. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.600 He can go the ball, can run the ball. You know, 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.880 it's a good quarterback. Kind of alter your Russia a 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.960 little bit because you don't want him to get out 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.880 and beat him beat you with his legs. Yeah, I 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.639 think that's what it give a lot of teams trouble. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.440 But for us, I feel like we just got to 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.040 go in and just play like how we played last year. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.760 Just go in relentless, make sure our rush is cohesive, 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.600 we all attacking them, collapse in the pocket like which 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.600 we did last week, and just read our keys and 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.160 make sure we know where to be in the defense 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.840 we call. While on the subject of the defense, it 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.240 was a good sign for Eagles fans as linebackers Kiko 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.400 Alonso and Michael Kendricks were back out on the practice field. 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.839 Alonso was limited, but Kendricks was a full participant here 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.760 on Wednesday, and according to safety Malcolm Jenkins, the sooner 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.840 that those two can get back into the lineup, the 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.320 more talented this Eagles defense will be. I mean, whenever 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.760 you get players in their caliber, Backe, it just makes 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.240 you better, m you know so. But we also had 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.520 guys step in and play huge for us. Jordan Hicks 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.800 been the main one. Nizigel came in to play well 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.720 for us, and especially with Demigo, I don't know what 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.680 his status is, but having a tweak of his hamstring 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.400 or whatever it is to get those guys kind of 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.560 back into the mixes obviously good for us. Sam Bradford 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.600 is coming off of the three interception game against the 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.280 Giants on Monday night, but according to Pat Schermer, who 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.000 was with Bradford during his rookie season in Saint Louis, 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.440 it's all part of the process as he continues to 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.839 work and get back out on the field following back 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.440 to back knee injuries. I saw, like I said, I 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.279 saw a lot of I saw a lot of good stuff. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.760 I saw a lot of things that we didn't see earlier. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.159 There were times when he was running around in the 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.880 pocket that we didn't see earlier. In the game. I 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.400 think they're, you know, the obvious. You know, we had 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.000 a couple of interceptions which you got to eliminate for 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.680 whatever reason. And I think he will. I think he'll 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.799 do that, and I think he'll continue to get better. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.760 You know, he hadn't played a lot of football in 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.520 the last two years. We're bringing him back. You know, 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.960 we're fortunate enough to be winning games. However, we're doing it, 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:10.200 and this thing is a sixteen game journey until hopefully 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.320 you're in the playoffs competing to win it all. And 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.440 so as we go through the journey, every one of 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.960 us just keeps getting better. Thursday will be the final 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.320 day of media availability this week, and be sure to 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.479 stay tuned on Philadelphia Eagles dot com as we bring 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.320 you the press conferences from Chip Kelly, Sam Bradford, and Damiko. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.920 Ryan's thank you so much, Alex, I mean, Joe. Look, 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.120 it is so obvious that the talk of the town 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.440 is Sam Bradford. Nine interceptions out of character for him. Still, 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.840 he's completed sixty three percent of his passes getting the 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.400 football down the field. Eagles have won two straight games. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.600 You will read on the quarterback here, it's got to 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.320 be a better day. He has to be better. He's 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.280 been disappointing so far this year. Sam Bradford. Right now, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.640 I think there's accuracy issues, there's awareness issues, there's pocket 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.719 presence issues. Now he's helped the Eagles get to a 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.560 three and three record from a one in three start, 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.359 so that's advancement. But it's really been more about the 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.720 defense playing well. The special team's playing better. Dave, I 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.760 think Sam Bradford has got to get settled down and 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.520 it's got to be driving Chip. Everybody agrees with that. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.400 The question is how do you do it? Well. I 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.040 think Chip's right to leave him in there. I know 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.520 there's a lot of people that you know talking about 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.440 switching quarterbacks. I wouldn't go anywhere near that. I mean 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.360 to me, Bradford get Look, you've got ten more games 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.479 to make an evaluation for his future and for the 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.280 franchise's future, which is obviously a paramount importance to Chip 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.279 Kelly and the coaching staff and the entire organization. So 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:28.839 you've got to find out why you have in Bradford, 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.880 and you've got to hope that he's able to play 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.160 through this. But I know this, having watched the film 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.280 yesterday with y'alls and NFL Films, I don't think there's 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.000 anything Chip Kelly's doing. It's putting Bradford in a tough position. 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.840 He's got throws to make. They're simple throws. He's got 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.000 to execute them better. He's got to play better football. 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.080 And it seems to come down, as the coaches say, 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.520 a lot to the mechanics of Sam Bradford, the footwork 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.040 and things like that. So it is a work in progress. 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.640 For sure, and as Pat Schremer said today, it is 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.599 a journey, this sixteen game regular season. Well, today's show 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.000 certainly not a journey. We've got Chip Kelly coming up 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.839 in a little bit. We've got to look at the 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.320 NFC East up next though, on Eagles three sixty, we 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.680 are gonna go a little cover two behind the scenes. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.600 Chris McPherson talking with some Philadelphia reporters. I'm sure Sam 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.840 Bradford will come up, so stay tuned. What do they 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.800 think about the Eagles and the quarterback that's next? On 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:28.880 Eagles three sixty.

Yeah, that pregame sideline experience exactly leaving Eagles 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.880 season tickets.

Now 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.960 Chris McPherson going head to head with a couple of 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.600 Philadelphia reporters, Brandon League Gouton from Bleeding Green Nation, Josh 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.200 Ponnell from Birds twenty four to seven. It's our Cover two. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.200 Hello Eagles Vans. I'm Chris McPherson, and welcome to this 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.560 week's edition of Cover two here on Philadelphi Eagle dot Com. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.240 In fact, we could say it's a first place edition 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.400 after the Eagles be up on the New York Giants 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.920 twenty seven to seven on Monday Night Football and now 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.439 are in sole possession of first place in the NFD 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.920 East for the time being. I'm joined this week by 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.040 Josh Parnell, a Bird twenty four to seven and branding 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.160 League gouton a Bleeding Green Nason. So, gentlemen, we look 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.440 at this win over the Giants. Is it a case 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.800 of maybe the Eagles are better than what people expected 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.880 over the last couple of weeks, or is it the 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.760 fact maybe the Giants show their true colors are just 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.559 not as good as a team as people thought. Josh 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.520 could get the Stars off. Well, I think it's more 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.600 of the Eagles showing their potential, because I mean, one 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.120 of the biggest headlines out of the game was Sam 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.439 bradford struggles. But the defense as a whole, dominated offensive 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.839 line I think had an underrated game coming into it. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:04.720 The Giants only gave up three and a half yards 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.040 per rush, the Eagles had four point two. They gave 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.439 him good pass protection and that's gonna be the key 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.680 coming down the stretch. Obviously you want for Bradford to 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.960 make strides, but if that running game can get going, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.040 that's just gonna make it even easier for Bradford. So 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.240 it is partially the Giants showing their true colors, but 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.800 the Eagles definitely showed some of their potential at times. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.320 Brain I thought it was like classic Eli Gillow pressure 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:25.960 m early and then all of a sudden, it's like 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.640 things Paul Apart, what was your take on the game exactlete. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.880 You know, the defense really stepped off. As Josh touched on, 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.679 I think you know you're really confident in that unit 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.680 right now. They've been playing well all season. I think 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.440 that's the big reason why they are three and three 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.240 despite a slow start, and they played really strong. And 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.600 the run game is that's huge. I mean, you got 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.079 that running game going against the top ranked Giants run defense. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.520 I think that was a huge takeaway from me on 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.200 the Monday night. All right, So, Joel, what is your 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.679 level of concern when it comes to Sam Bradford. Chip 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.319 Kelly was asked on Tuesday whether or not Sam should 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.120 still be the starting quarterback and so you don't want 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.000 to go down that road. He did have three interceptions. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.240 Brand I'll let you start this one off. Your take 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.360 on Sam Bradford. Is it a case of you gott 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.120 let him work through his struggles or is it at 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.440 some point Chips gotta make a decision here. I think 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.000 you have to let him work through it at this point. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.240 I mean, I think he's the guy. I think it's 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.679 it's hard to be very confident in him right now. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.160 Obviously second in the NFL in interceptions with nine. I 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.160 think You've seen a lot of throws there that you 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.160 just you know, they make you scratch your head. You know. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.760 You look at the one of those turnovers against the Giants, 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.800 the one against the Saints where he throws an interception 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.439 to Brandon Browner, he has Riley Cooper open. You know, 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.360 things like that are just I think it's really a 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.760 shame really for this team because the defense is so 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.000 good that if you can just get the quarterback playing well, 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.320 I think, you know, this team has real potential. Judge, 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.679 what's interesting about Sam Bradford is he never had these 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.280 interception problems. You go back to his time in Saint Louis. 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.080 Do you think it's just a matter of he's just 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.480 acclimate to his offense and still working through the fact 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.640 that he didn't play for pretty much the last two seasons. Well, 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.839 early on I was one of the big give him 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.040 more time. It's a new offense. He guy hasn't played 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.000 in a couple of years. But my level of concern 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.520 isn't necessarily his play us the Giants. But I haven't 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.480 seen a ton of growth from week one two weeks six, 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.200 So that's what my concern is. You know, the interceptions, 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.920 as you said, hasn't been a problem before, But why 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.720 is it happening? Why is it happening at a higher rate? Now? 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.960 That's to me, And it's not just the throws. Sometimes 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.760 it's the reds. You know, on the miscommunication with Riley Cooper, 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.160 you could argue it was Riley Cooper's fault breaking off 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.480 the route a little late, but he's still throwing it 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.640 up in a double coverage if Friley Cooper keeps going. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.000 So to me, it's not just throws, but sometimes it's 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.720 the reads as well. All right, gentlemen. Sunday Night football, 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.800 the Eagles take on the undefeated Carolina Panthers. Surprise, I 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.960 guess we're saying the undefeated Panthers. At this point in 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.360 the season, Eagles are first place, Caroline is in first place. Josh, 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.280 how do you look at the matchup? Well, I think 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.760 this is a Carolina Panthers team that's over achieved. They're 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.320 five and oh, but all of the teams they've beaten 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.760 are below five hundred when you look at them. Their 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.840 run game of the yards were carriers in the middle 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.200 of the pack. Kim Newton's passer rating is about the 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.800 league average. But what makes them stand out and why 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.800 they're five and oh is they're tied for first and 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.240 turnover differential and their second in the NFL an opponent 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.760 passing rating, So that's going to be the big keys. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.800 Can the Eagles defense get those turnovers as they had 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.800 been recently and ken Sam Bradford limit the turnovers against 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.800 this ballhawking defense, Brandon, it seems like a strength first 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.600 strength here the Eagles run defense going against it Panthers 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.719 rushing attack, which seems to really get going last week 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.959 against Seattle. How do you preview the matchup? Yeah, I 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.280 think the Eagles matchup especially while in defense. You look 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.600 at this Eagles run defense very solid this season. I 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.240 think they'll be able to stop that the Carolina rushing attack. 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.680 But then the question moves to will the Eagles be 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.320 able to pass on Carolina secondary? Obviously Josh Norman leading 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.480 all cornerbacks in the NFL with four interceptions. Panthers have 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.160 a good defense. I think one area where they might 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.280 be a little weaker is the run defense. I think 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.520 they're about something like the middle of the league and 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.600 yards per rush attempt allowed. So maybe this is a 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.040 game where the Eagles can take the progress they're into 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.040 the run game against the Giants and try to keep 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.079 that going. Brandley Gowton from Bleeing Green Nation and Josh 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.079 Ponell from burst Way four seven, And I'm Chris McPherson. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.520 Thank you very much joining in this week's edition of 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:06.800 Cover two here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks so much, guys, Joe, 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.680 as you know, as you know Carolina. Next, that means 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.280 Cam Newton. That means Superman. How do you stop Superman? 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.360 I think you make him throw the ball, Dave. I 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.679 think you make Cam Newton play from the pocket as much. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:19.960 That's what I mean when I say throw the ball. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.320 Make him play from the pocket. Cam Newton's a player 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.720 when he gets going, and look, he can run you over. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.680 He can run over of big time linebacker. He's that 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.040 kind of physical presence. You want to keep him contained. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:31.920 Make him throw the ball down the field. Now, he's 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.000 got a cannon of an arm. I don't think Cam 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.440 Newton's the most polished quarterback. There's some people who think 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.560 sometimes I'm too hard on Cam Newton. Look, he's a 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.320 decent flyer. Clearly, he's not one of the worst ten 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.000 in the league. I don't think he's one of the 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.000 best ten in the league. I think he's somewhere, you know, 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.720 in that middle range. But he's got a five and 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.680 not football team right now. And look, Dave, they had 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.720 success two years ago, they're having success again right now. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.600 So from a first one, first round overall pick standpoint, 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.520 you got to give him credit. He has become the 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.120 face of that franchise. And right now he's scotted his 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.080 team to five. And and we will give you our 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.160 first look at the Carolina Panthers in the morning right 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.560 here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Or to come though 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.600 on Eagles three sixty Chip Kelly in just a short 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.800 bit of time. But when we return to Eagles three sixty, 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.960 Joe and I talking about the NFC East, the Eagles 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:23.600 on top looking down.

Eagles insider Dave Spidero with 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.400 Joe di camera. Time now to talk about the state 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.200 of the NFC East, where one game separates the top 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:16.760 the Eagles and the bottom the Redskins, and in between 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.240 there's a whole lot of the same. Let's begin with 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.080 the New York Giants, the team that came to Philadelphia 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.680 on Sunday and this week host to Dallas Cowboys, expected 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.119 to get some of their players healthy, including Victor Cruz. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.320 I still think a team that in December will be 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.239 right there at the top of the division, Dave, I 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.520 think the Giants remain the primary foe for the Eagles 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.200 to focus on the well, look, the Eagles got to 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.399 focus on themselves, but I'll focus on the fact that 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.639 I think the Giants will be the main threat to 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.679 the Eagles. Now, what we saw the Eagles do on 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.600 Monday night was a fantastic performance at the link. Obviously 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.280 not from the offensive standpoint and particularly the quarterback, but 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:51.800 what the defense did and what a couple of things 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.640 that stood out in that game. First of all, the Giants, 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.399 and this is when Eagles are on the field. The 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.359 Giants have no pass rush right now they I mean 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:58.920 they've got a new pass rush now. I ain't gonna 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.520 change that isn't not changing. I mean, it's just you know, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.879 they struggled last year other than JPPA, and you know, 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:06.960 here we go again without JPP, so they just don't 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.040 have much there. I think the Russian attacks not very strong. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.280 Eli Manning last week played the kind of game that 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.560 he can play a really not good game other games. 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.280 I think he's got one of the strangest careers I've 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.280 ever seen a player have, Dave. I mean a plot 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.480 players twice walked off the field a Super Bowl champion 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.600 and many times walked off the field with you know, 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.200 the whole world billing up. He's a very bizarre player, 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:27.800 but he can be good, and that's I think the 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.600 primary reason, Dave, why I think they remained the biggest 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.560 threat to the Eagles. And then they host the Dallas 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.840 Cowboys this week, and the Cowboys coming off of their 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.359 bye week talking a little crazy about des Brian getting 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.280 on the field. If not Sunday, it could be happening 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:46.040 very soon and possibly when the Eagles go to Arlington, 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.320 Texas in a few weeks. But for now, the Cowboys 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.639 trying to get things right at the quarterback position with 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.720 Matt Castle taking the rains from Brandon Whedon a change 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.480 at running back, the Cowboys searching Joe for answers with 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.800 an all fence. It just has lost all of its punch, 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.480 all of its power, all of its production. Biggest play, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.720 I think, probably for the entire season in the NFC East, 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.760 was when Jordan Hicks knocked out Tony Romo. It completely 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.920 changed the entire complexion of the NFC East. Let me 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.680 ask you a question, Dave, Giants Cowboys this week. From 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.960 an Eagles standpoint, who do you want to win that game? 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.120 I will always want the Giants to beat the Cowboys 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.360 always it really I think it ultimately doesn't matter because 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.480 the Eagles control their own destiny do I'm not really 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.920 at this point matching this win, that win, that team, 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.480 this team. Everything's too closely well, and I think the 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.320 Eagles win within the division. Moving forward here they're going 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.719 to be fine. Well. I always look at how does 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.040 it affect the Eagles and how are things matching up? 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:43.680 But and I know what you mean. I mean, obviously 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.240 the Eagles have their own fate in their own control, 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:47.720 and that's what you want to have. And at three 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:49.320 and three, there's a lot of season to go. But 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:50.800 the way I look at it is to me, this 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.600 is confounding because ordinarily you would want the higher ranked team, 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:56.600
