WEBVTT - Eagles 360: Kelly Talks McCoy Trade 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.720 This is the day you've been waiting for. Of course, 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.160 welcome Eagles Free sixty insider Dave's Finnaro along with Glenn 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.040 mc now Today we get to his bold predictions. The 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.360 voice of the Philadelphia Eagles, Merril Reese, is in studio. 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.040 We're trying to wade our way through all this off 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.360 field drama to see a good game on Sunday, the 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.720 Eagles and the Buffalo Bills. Are you caught up in 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.840 running back Central? It's been a hell of a week. 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.000 What's going on in Buffalo with Lashawn McCoy. Chip addressed 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.160 that today and it just his news conference saying, I 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.760 made a mistake. I mishandled that. That's something I did 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.000 not expect to hear, and he said it at length, 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.600 he really did. And of course now you have what's 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.880 gonna happen this weekend with who's gonna play running back 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.040 for the Eagles. Yeah, you got Matthews back, so there's 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.600 four choices. Well, we hope that that Ryan Matthews is back, 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.080 and you wonder how many carries he can get. You 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.679 wonder if the Eagles will keep four running backs active 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.840 on this game day roster. But let's first just shake hands. 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.240 That seems to be the whole message of the week, right, 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.279 I'll always shake your Come on, people, now shake hands 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:39.440 with your brother. Everybody, get together one another and beat 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.760 the bill. Remember who did that song The Mama's in 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:47.280 the Papas. No, maybe it's before my time there Buffalo anyway, 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.240 But you know, of all of the nonsense that's going 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.600 on here, Lashawn McCoy not wanting to shake hands is 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.640 the silliest, most ridiculous, immature part of all of this. Well, 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.200 you can be mad, you can be hurt, you have 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.640 reason to be heard. You know, a year passes. Shake hands. 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.320 Well from my standpoint, look, Lashaw McCoy the all time 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.160 leading running back in Philadelphia Eagles history. I celebrate him 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.840 for all he did as a Philadelphia Eagle. I enjoyed 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.519 working with him. He'll always be a Philadelphia Eagle to me. 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.640 On Sunday, however, he's a Buffalo Bill and it's time 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.760 to beat the Bills. It's time for the Eagles to 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.320 get a little thing going with some momentum in the 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.960 final quarter of this regular season. So we've got a 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.680 lot going on today for you. A lot has already happened. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.480 Let's get you caught up on everything going on if 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:36.480 an overcare complex. It's our Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone, 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.040 I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update. 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.840 Today was Chip Kelly's final day of availability this week 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.280 as the Eagles get set for Sunday afternoons matchup with 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.600 the Buffalo Bills, and the big topic at coach Kelly's 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.160 press conference was the return of running back Lashawn McCoy, 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.840 and today Kelly touched upon how the McCoy trade went 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.440 down back in the off season and how he was 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.320 traded wasn't handled right, And I've said that before. I 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.200 did not get an opportunity to talk to him, and 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.160 it's it's it's a lesson that we should never do. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.200 To be honest with you, is that we were told 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.399 that the trade wasn't initiated and wouldn't be initiated until 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.800 the next morning, so there were no phone calls to 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.560 be made, and then all of a sudden, I'm driving 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.520 to an event and he's been traded, and I felt 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:13.960 bad that I didn't get a chance to talk to him. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.920 I called him, he didn't answer my phone call. I 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.600 know he was pissed and he should be pissed by 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.280 rightly so, and every player that's ever left this team. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.280 I've talked to him personally. Myself, everyone that's in town, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.360 we talked to him individually. Here in our office, I 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.560 talked to him. The coordinator talks to him, The position 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.080 coach talk to him. We have a way that we 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:30.519 do it that I think is the right way to 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.760 do it, and it wasn't exercised in that case. Switching 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.960 from a former Eagles running back to a current one. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.360 Inside the locker room, we heard from DeMarco Murray, who 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.560 discussed his speaking with CEO and chairman Jeffrey Lury and 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.680 how he wants to be back with the Eagles next season. Yeah, 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.000 I'm very happy here. You know, these are my teammates 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.200 and my guys know, a lot of respect for everyone 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.280 who's locker room, the coach, of staff, the ownership, and 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.560 I love it here. I think everybody. Everyone's frustratingly losing 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.280 the two or three games the way we lost, and 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.320 obviously the ranker isn't where it needs to be in 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.680 you know, we're not playing in the way you want 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.040 to be and play. You know, I think everyone's a 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.040 little frustrated, including myself. And just got to continue. Like 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:07.640 I said, oh you're long. You gotta come and work 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.760 every day in battle and fight through it. And we're 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.480 just trying to get better. And finally we caught up 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.640 with a couple of members of the Eagles defense as 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.760 we heard from Cedric Thornton and Connor Barwin on what 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.680 the Bill's offense brings to the table. You know, attack 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.640 him a different way. Obviously against Brady, you were just 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.560 trying to get him to move and get out of 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.000 the pocket. With Tyroder, we'll try to do our best 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.560 to kind of keep him containing and keep him in 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.120 the pocket. Oh yeah, definitely. H Brady is kind of 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.279 thirty eight on the verge of you know, his career 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.159 almost being over, and Taylor got more speed. You know. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.520 I just feel like we just had to contain him 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.080 on outside and he got Shady back there too, so 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.520 we just had to contain both of them and let 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.720 our dbs do what they gotta do on Watkins and uh, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.200 just play as a group and have high energy and 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.640 just know what's at the task and know what's at 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.760 stake and just come out with the victors. Finally, an 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.560 injury update here as we wrap things up on this 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.640 three sixty update, every single player on the Eagles roster 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.279 was a full participant on Thursday. That is very good 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.600 news heading into Sunday's matchup. Could be sure to stay 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.839 tuned to Philadelphia Eagles dot com throughout the week for 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.799 all of the latest Eagles news. Thanks so much, Alex, 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.280 We've got a lot to get you today. Glenn, how 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.480 those bold predictions coming along? You feel good about him? 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.200 I feel great about him. I think we're five for 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.479 five this week. Yeah, and you have been on a roll. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.800 I mean I think he got one or two right 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:25.440 last week two and a half. That qualifies as that's 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.920 a role, that's you know, that's why they're bold.

Will get his take on 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.360 it because he's the one who communicates to you on 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.320 game days. And we'll also have Glenn's bold predictions.

Oh you're the muscle. Yeah, there 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.000 we go. It's that kind of weak here. We're all 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.720 fired up. Eagles on a roll right, one win in 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.280 a row, top of the top of the heap in 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.440 the NF. Time for us to step aside. Let Chris 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.920 McPherson in with a look at the Buffalo Bills. The 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.840 Bills are six and six thinking playoffs. It's time now 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:59.280 to go behind enemy lines. Hello everyone, I'm Chris McPherson 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.920 and it's time to go behind enemy Alliance presented by 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.920 Gatorade here in Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Look the Bills 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.520 and the Eagles, they don't typically have a lot of history, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.240 but this is a very special week with the return 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.160 Alos Sean McCoy and helped preview the matchup. I'm bringing 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.080 in the lead journalist from Buffalo Bills dot com, none 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.160 other than Chris Brown. Chris from the Buffalo Perspective. What 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.720 is Lashawn Shady McCoy brought to the offense is three 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.400 one hundred yard rushing games this season and was he 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.160 looking to do against the Eagles this Sunday. Well, I mean, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.160 he's been the engine for the Buffalo offense. I don't 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.640 think there's any question about it. In the first half 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:36.920 of the year, it was kind of tough for him. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.560 He wasn't one hundred percent healthy, not fully recovered from 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.360 the hamstring injury, so you really didn't see his full 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.080 display of talent on the field through that first half 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.920 of the season, but ever since about Week seven or eight, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.760 he's been fully healthy and he's been off and running 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.400 no pun intended. I mean, he's had over one hundred 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:59.400 yards from scrimmage in the last six games, factoring in 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.680 in the passing. Not quite as much as obviously on 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.000 the ground, but this offensive line has done a heck 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.400 of a job in front of him, and I think 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.200 after they ran for about one hundred and fifty eight 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.520 one hundred and sixty yards against the number one ranked 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.679 run defense in the Jets, the confidence level went through 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.520 the roof and they've been going ever since. So obviously 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.760 McCoy is an engine to the offense there Chris, but 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.959 quarterback Tirah Taylor a dual threat. You can run, you 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.200 can beat it with his arm. How has he helped 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.880 open up the offense for McCoy, Well, I think they've 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.840 used the run more to set up the pass, but 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.839 they don't ask Tyrod to throw the ball a whole lot. 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.600 He only averages twenty seven passes a game, which is 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.800 the lowest among starters in the NFL, so they keep 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.320 his pass attempts to a minimum. As a matter of fact, 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.080 when he's thrown thirty or more passes. They haven't won 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.040 a game this year, so they try to keep him 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:52.200 down between eighteen to twenty seven passes a game, and 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.960 when they've done that, they've been successful. And you know, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.640 you look at some of his better games, his completion 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.640 percentage isn't great, but he's highly efficient with the completions 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.800 he's made. Last week's game against the Texans is a 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.240 perfect example. He throws seven passes in the first half, 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.440 completes four of them, but two of them go for 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.720 touchdowns on third and goal situations. So he's a guy 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.800 that's making the most of the very few opportunities he has. 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.800 There's not much of an intermediate passing game there with him. 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.880 It's either shortened to the flanks or deep down the field, 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.520 and he's been remarkably accurate on those deep balls. Now, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.160 of Chris, you mentioned the deep passing game. Obviously, Sammy 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.080 Watkins is a go to weapon from the passing standpoint. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.760 Second year receiver. The Bills gave up a lot to 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.319 get him. What is he brought to the Bills offense? Well, again, 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.559 here's another guy on offense who was slowed by injury. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.600 In the first half of the year, and then when 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.880 he since he has been back in the lineup and 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.040 they've been together now Taylor and Watkins for five games 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.880 in a row, you see that on field rapport really 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.920 starting to develop between those two guys. And I mean 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.160 he hits him for two fifty three yard shots last 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.080 week against Houston. And when you have the safety cheating 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.520 up in the run front to try to help slow 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.480 Lashawn McCoy in that running game, it affords Sammy Watkins 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.120 the kind of matchup you want to test a defense with, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.400 and more often than not, he's come up with some 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.679 big plays to put them down there in the red 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.880 zone and finish scoring drives. So, Chris, we've gotten this 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.840 long in the interview, and we even't talked about Rex 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.640 Ryan and the present that he's brought, especially to the 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.320 defensive side of the football. That defensive line, Chris, very strong, 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.040 three former first round picks starting. What type of pressure 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.880 do you expect the Bills to bring on Sam Bradford 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.240 and the Eagles this Sunday. Yeah, it's ironic because I 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.280 think a lot of people felt the defensive line was 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.560 going to be the lynchpin on which this defense hung itself, 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.000 and you know basically that defensive line has not performed 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.720 up to the same capabilities that they have each of 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.680 the last two seasons. I mean, this was a team 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.439 that led the league in sacks over the last two 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.439 years with one hundred and eleven total, and right now 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.760 they're twenty ninth in sacks and they only have sixteen 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.920 on the year. I think the Rex Ryan defense was 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.240 a culture change for those guys up front from they 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.040 remembered from the previous season with Jim Schwartz, and so 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.200 the results have not been there for them. The most 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.040 consistent performers on the defense this year have been the 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.880 two starting cornerbacks, Stefan Gilmore and Ronald Darby. The rookie 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.480 Gilmore doesn't look like he's gonna play this week. They're 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.440 gonna plug McKelvin in instead. But those guys have been 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.400 the two mainstays for this defense. They're trying to gain 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.320 some more traction upfront. Jerry Hughes has probably performed the 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.959 most consistent of that front four. Kyle Williams is out 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.600 for the year and has been for the past few 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.000 weeks with a bad knee injury, so he's not even 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.280 a part of the equation. And Mario Williams just came 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.040 back from a foot injury himself, so it's been kind 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:38.800 of a mixed bag for them up front due to 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.959 injury lately as well.

Guy Why 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.800 do I fear you're giving me a little nudge off 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.680 that they're gonna be Yeah, they're gonna be tremendous. Here 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.600 you go. Here's bold prediction number one. Tyrod Taylor, the 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.120 Bills young quarterback who I like, by the way, is 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.600 going to have a very difficult time passing against the 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.480 Eagles defense. Believe it or not. He's had a couple 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.480 of rough games, but he's got his feet and his 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.080 feet are good, and he's gonna run for fifty yards 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.640 against the Eagles. That's a good thing or a bad thing. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:31.560 I actually think it's a good thing because I think 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:33.480 he's gonna have a tough time passing, so he's gonna 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.840 be in some trouble. Fifty yards will kill you. But 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.240 he is dangerous that way, all right. So amazing, I 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.920 really do well. When you look at what Tyrod Taylor 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.760 has done, his numbers are, they're amazing. I mean, Tyrod 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.760 Taylor is somebody that I don't think the rest of 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.600 the league thought was a starting caliber quarterback. The job 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.840 that Rex Ryan has done certainly outshines the job his 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:57.200 father ever did with an offensive player with plan Actually 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.920 there's strategic quarterback. Yes, he certainly helps Sammy Watkins and 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.200 Charles Clay and Robert Woods and let's Shawn McCoy around you. Yeah, 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:05.880 he's done well. He's done well. Right here you go. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.280 Number two. The surprising thing is you can pass on 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.480 the Buffalo Bills. So their defense was touted to be 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.760 so good this year. Their defensive line was really regarded 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.760 as one of the best in the league. It has 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.400 not been. Here you go, Their defensive line collectively has 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:24.360 fewer sacks, quarterback hits and hurries than J. J. Watt 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:28.040 by himself. And why is that? With Murray Williams and 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.240 Marcel Darius and Jerry Hughes. It just doesn't add up. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:32.800 It doesn't add up. And I can't you know, I 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.640 don't watch the Bills every week, so I can't tell 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.280 you what's not working. But it's not working. I think 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.240 their defensive line has eleven sacks this year, and so 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.520 therefore I will predict a clean line by the Eagles defense, 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.640 the Eagles offense, clean game by the Eagles offensive line. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.520 I will say the Bills will have one sack, one 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.680 quarterback Zach. That mean I, how about the running game? 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.560 You see the Eagles running the football. I don't see 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.240 that in the Bolt prediction. Sorry, right, number three, the 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.520 number three. Here you go. All of that, this plays 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.520 off of the other one means that Sam Bradford's going 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.399 to have a good game. He has not had a 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:10.080 three hundred yard game since the Saints game October eleventh. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.399 He will throw for three hundred yards this week. Quarterback 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.560 passer rating of over ninety nine his last three times out, 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.399 hasn't turned the football over since the Carolina game. Good 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.960 trends for Sam Bradford getting better and better and better. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.840 And we'll talk to Merrill Reese about that and just 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.560 a moment here, Merril Reese, next up, Glenn, Thanks for 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.160 your bold prediction.

Time now to speak to the voice of 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.080 the Philadelphia Eagles, the Great Meryl Reese. Ready for the 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.879 first of three home games on Sunday, and Merrill, it 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:36.720 is a great attraction, Rex Ryan, the Buffalo Bills, They've 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:40.199 got Starpower, We've got drama. Oh what a week it is. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.680 Welcome to the playoff rings. Thank you, Yeah, and it's fun. 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.240 You know. It's a year ago. I did a commentary 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.360 on WYP and I said, I really believe that the 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.440 best teams should go to the playoffs, and I felt 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.760 this way that it was an injustice that the ten 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:59.280 win Eagles set home. I've changed my mom. I wonder 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.960 why I I like the divisional races, and you know, 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.879 I figured out that there are twenty two of the 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.840 thirty two teams that have high hopes. Yeah, and the 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.600 Eagles are one of them. In Buffalo is also one 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.720 of them. Really good team that Rex Ryan has put together. 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.280 When you look at Buffalo, Merrow, what stands out, what 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:19.640 jumps out at you? Well, the tenacious defense that stands out. 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.400 Rex is his father's son. There's no doubt about that 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:27.720 that he wants to punish a quarterback and also standing out, 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.639 and I'm surprised we didn't even lead with it. Is 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.600 number twenty five in your program, no longer number one 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.520 in your heart, and that is Lashawn Shady McCoy, who 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:40.240 will be occupying the spotlight on Sunday, I think to 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.800 an even greater degree than he has occupied it all week. 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:44.840 That's the reason I don't want to lead with it. 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.080 I want to talk about the football game, not about 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.520 the size. Well we're talking about ridiculous, okay, But there 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.200 is a football game involving Shady McCoy and he's a 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.440 running is a great running back. That's the story. Now, 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.520 this story is not because we've been through this how 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.920 many times Merrill with Tara Lowens and with the Shawan 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.120 Jackson donne to have it, Andy Reid and Brian Dawkins. 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.320 And when the game starts, it's just about the football game. 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:07.560 It is about the football game, but it will be 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:11.480 greater emotions. It's emotion when it Deshan Jackson comes back, 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:16.399 just an emotional situation. And Chip always says, Chip's words 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.359 are play with emotion. Don't let emotion play with you. 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:22.960 So I feel Number one key to the game is 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.159 find a way to tackle Shady McCoy because he's their 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.159 biggest weapon. They can talk about Tyrod Taylor, they can 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:33.119 talk about Sammy Watkins. That's the greatest player on the field. 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.080 And what they have to do is not worry about 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:41.720 making highlight films. No highlight hits, sound fundamental tackling. Stop 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.399 him and stop him for short games. And it's the 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.400
