WEBVTT - Eagles 360: Ready To Run 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.120 Welcome everyone. If Eagles three sixty Eagles insider Dave's fidero 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.400 joined by Joe to camera on this hump day at 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.879 the Novacare Complex and Eagles on the field today dodging 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.960 the rain drops getting ready for the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Joe, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.199 the Eagles getting a win on Sunday up in East Rutherford, 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.920 New Jersey. Now one and two, we'll talk about the 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.120 NFC East in a bit. Your thoughts on a suddenly 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.200 resurgent Philadelphia Eagles football. It was good to see the win, Dave, 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.320 no doubt about that. Obviously, gives the Eagles an opportunity 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.640 to get back into season. We know the division is 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.399 there for the you know, the taking so to speak. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.520 It's so early, but with this division of the injury 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.679 so there's an opportunity. We saw some good things from 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.399 the Eagles in Week three, some improvement obviously, some areas 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.160 still to work on. Some scheme change from Chip Kelly, 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.640 which I thought was interesting, Dave, with Chip slowing it 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.960 down at times under center, with Sam Bradford under center, 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.400 So it'll be interesting looking up ahead of the Washington game. End. 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.240 Beyond the other changes we may or may not see 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:28.920 from Chip moving forward, and there are a lot of 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.400 fluid situations with the injuries, and so we'll find out 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.280 about more of that later in the week. Darren Sprowls 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.039 your NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.880 remarkable eighty nine yard punt return that really counterhold of 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.360 the Eagles to that big lead on Sunday. Let's get 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.559 you caught up with everything going on with the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.800 Alex Smith our three sixty update. Hi everyone, I'm Alex 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.720 Smith and this is your three sixty update. A cloudy 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.840 day here at the Novacare Complex on the last day 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.360 of September, as the Eagles gets set to square off 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.920 with Washington on Sunday. Today, we heard from head coach 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.600 Chip Kelly, along with Sam Bradford and Zach Ertz, on 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.800 the challenges presented by this tough Washington defense. You know, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.560 I think the big thing with Joe's group and Joe's 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.720 they're always sound, you know, and they don't They're second 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.960 right defense in the NFL right now. There they can 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.160 stop the run with their guys up front, their gigantic 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.040 up front. You know, I think Knight may be the 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.160 biggest inside guy in the league right now. They're a 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.440 good defense, you know, obviously I think their second right 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.440 now in total defense. You know, their front is active. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.240 You know, it seems to me that they get their 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.880 hands on a lot of balls, you know, fairly similar 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.359 to Atlanta, and that their scheme isn't really complex, but 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.840 what they do they seem to be really good at. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.840 I mean, guys that are going to be physical up front. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.600 The front sevens are very tough. M so that those 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.519 four linebackers are probably some of the best in the 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.440 NFC in my opinion. Um, so we got to really 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.120 go out there execute. Meanwhile, on the other side of 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.600 the ball, Washington boasts one of the top rushing attacks 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.079 in the NFL. At one hundred and forty three point 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.200 seven yards per game, they are fourth in the league 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.040 and rushing and according to Connor Barwin and Fletcher Cox, 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.720 they know the challenge at hand and slowing down this 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.160 Washington run game. You know, More is a big, tough runner. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.799 I've played against him, like we said, for a couple 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.320 of years now. And then the other the new guy, 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.280 the rookie, it's a big, fast guy. So we have 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:20.799 a lot of respect for the running game. That'll be 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.840 a huge challenge for us. But I think they're the 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.960 same most semonbacks one cut straight down hill, you know, 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.400 gang tackle those guys. They were really hard and it's 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.560 gonna be competitive, you know. We gotta bring our game. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.920 While the Eagles offense is still clicking and looking to 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.360 come together as a unit, the defense has been playing 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:41.000 with confidence and a certain swagger, according to safety Walter Thurmond, 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.120 who says that it all comes down to playing with 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.240 sound technique. Yeah, I mean everyone has. I think the 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.240 whole defense just has that confidence. You know. We know 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.160 that when we don't play with sound technique, that's when 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.240 we're gonna give beat, you know. And obviously that that 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.640 kind of showed in the in the first game. We 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.160 had just have poor technique and they were able to 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.800 get some explosive players on us. But knowing that it 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.480 will be played sound of football every single down, that 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.880 it's going to be tough for teams to beat us. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.160 And finally, an injury update here from South Philadelphia. Linebacker 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.200 Michael Kendricks was a full participant in today's practice, while 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.160 running back to Marco Murray was limited and linebacker Keiko 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.760 Alonso still in Florida getting a second opinion on his 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.359 left d Head coach Chip Kelly did say that Alonso 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.400 should be back in town on Friday. And for all 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.400 the latest Eagles news, be sure to keep it right 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:29.719 here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks so much, Alex Joy, 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.680 Gonna put you on a spot here. DeMarco Murray may 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.400 or may not play on Sunday. Your view of the backfield, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.400 how do you use Ryan Matthews? What do you do 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.680 with Murray's healthy? I think it's a tremendous situation for 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.200 the Eagles to be and they have all sorts of 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.000 options and opportunities here moving forward. Look, obviously went to 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.880 Marco Murray healthy, and if he is, he's the starter 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.280 and he's going to carry the ball a lot. The 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.640 The thing to me, that's been an interesting sort of 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.279 conversation piece this week. Within this conversation about you know, 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.360 Murray and Matthews and all that, there's gonna be a 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.039 lot of opportunities for all these guys to run the 0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:59.560 ball even when they're all healthy. I mean, it's not 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.159 like Eagles are gonna slow it down to the point 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.760 where they're still not going to run a lot of plays. 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.560 There's plenty of place to be run if if, if 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.039 they get first down first downs, right, yeah, No, I 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.120 mean I don't get first downs. This whole plan, that's 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:13.640 a whole different matter. I mean, the whole thing is 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.400 predicated on you gotta get first downs and you gotta 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.160 move the ball if you do. I still expect to 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.800 Marcomery to get plenty of place. And you know, I 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.760 really don't blame him at all for his struggles in 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.440 the first two weeks. That was when the offensive line 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.280 was at its worst. So you know, the way I 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.159 look at it, I think Dana de Marcomery is going 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.799 to be fine moving forward. I have absolutely no concerns 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.520 about that. You want to see him healthy as possible, 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.640 as soon as possible once he is get that Russian 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.240 attack down. And in the meantime, Ryan Matthews doing quite 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.760 a job Sunday against the New York Jets. We'll talk 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.280 about Matthews with head coach Chip Kelly are exclusive one 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.240 on one a little bit later in the show, Joe 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.600 and I will talk NFC East as well. But up 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.719 next on Eagles three sixty, Chris McPherson, you're going at 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.120 it with the cover two segment. Some perspectives from from 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:59.520 Philadelphia Beat reporters about the one and two Eagles on 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.320 the way up or otherwise we'll talk about it when 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:13.560 we return this fall.

Welcome back, It's Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.160 Joe to camera time now for our Cover two segment. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.400 Chris McPherson with Matt Lombardo, NJAY dot com and Bob 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.160 Roats the Delaware County Daily Times. Hello everyone, and welcome 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.640 to Cover two here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. I'm 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.080 Chris McPherson joined this week as we look back at 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.640 the win over the New York Jets and look ahead 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.840 to this Sunday's matchup with Washington. I brought him Bob Groats, 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.160 one of the longest tenure beat reports from the Delaware 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.960 County Times. And Matt Lombardo. You hear on a ninety 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.200 seventy five to Fannak. You're gonna read his work on 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.640 NJA dot com. So, Bob, I'll let you start things 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.040 off here. Eagles get to win twenty four or seventeen 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.320 over the New York Jets? Are they out of the 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.400 woods now? They've got their first win of their season 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.160 under the belt. I think they got a lot more 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.440 work to do, Chris. And as a matter of fact, 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.000 this week, this game, to me, is almost as pivotal 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.480 as the other week. If they go oh and two 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.439 in the division right now, I mean they're and oh 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.400 and three in the Conference, you're looking at a long season. 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.480 So but I think success is within their grasp. And 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:50.200 as as much as I've heard Sam Bradford criticized for 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.640 not making big plays last week, he didn't turn the 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.120 ball over and I think that was huge and I 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.920 think that is gonna play come That's gonna play a 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.880 huge part and in the Eagles this week, Matt your thoughts, Yeah, Chris, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.800 I'm inclined to agree with Bob on this one because 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.160 it was a huge win, a season saving win to 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.120 beat the Jets last week. But this is a must 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.400 win game because it's a lot different in this league 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.480 being two and two versus being one and three, especially 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.640 as Bob pointed out, to be oh and two in 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.200 the division and then oh and three and two and 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.439 conference played that that's a tough hurdle to overcome in 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.720 terms of making it back into a playoff race. But 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.760 they're lucky and fortunate enough to play the Redskins, who 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.240 they saw some marginal quarterback playout of Ryan Fitzpatrick with 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.000 the Jets on Sunday. I don't think you're going to 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.920 see much more out of Kirk Cousins on Sunday at 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.680 FedEx Field. So the Eagles should be confident going into 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.520 this game. But a two and two start is a 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.240 much better road back to postseason viability than starting one 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.240 and three for sure. Now, matt the offense got the 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.720 ground game going. Ryan Matthews had over one hundred yards, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.160 but we still haven't seen a lot out of the 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.439 wide receiver position outside of Jordan Matthews. What do you 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.199 think is going on there? Well, I think there's a 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.480 lot of issues going on. I think that you look 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.440 at Sam Bradford, he doesn't seem all that comfortable behind 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.040 the offense line right now, doesn't seem to be making 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.280 a lot of mechanically sound throws. He's over three on 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.120 passes that travel twenty one yards or longer through the air. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.360 So for whatever reason, whether it's Bradford's hesitancy to plant 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.840 that foot and throw it deep or the receiver's not 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.720 getting open, I think there are a lot of issues 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.520 with the passing game right now. But I think it 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.640 starts on Sunday, reverting back to what they did last 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.080 year against the Redskins in Week sixteen. Hitting zach Ertz 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.560 over the middle of the field, Jordan Matthews in the slot, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.640 a lot of thinking and dunking, similar to what you 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.720 saw against Atlanta. Just getting this offense and getting Sam 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.439 Bradford into a rhythm. He's a rhythm quarterback. It's a 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.760 rhythm offense. You get the rhythm going. Eventually, you gotta 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.040 believe the deep threat with Nelson Aguilar is going to 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:41.800 open up over the time. Now, Matt, you mentioned the 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.360 offensive line, Bob, do you see any issues with Andrew 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.200 Garner being out for the season. It looks like Matt 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.440 Tobin will be your starter at right guard moving forward. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.920 Do you see any issues there from a chemistry standpoint? 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.520 Will they be able to get that rhythm going? It 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.840 was kind of interesting. Lane Johnson said he was starting 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:59.120 to get He felt like, hey, and and and now 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.560 Tobin's in there. He thought that he and Andrew Gardner 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.520 were starting to gel so and they did do They 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.720 ran really well on that first series, let's face it, 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.959 and the rest of the game was back and forth. 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.600 So that you know that might take a little bit 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.440 of time. It's not like Lane Johnson and Jason Kelsey. 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.960 Don't know who Matt Tobin is, but I'm looking forward 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.000 to Toby being out there. I think he's a little 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.400 more explosive than Gardner. He's not as much of a technician. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.040 I think you're gonna see some some a little bit 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.480 more power type of blocking and it should be really interesting. 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.360 And you know, I just got to say this too 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.520 about Bradford and the receivers and that these guys are 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.440 dropping balls. I mean, I don't know what the league 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.960 stats are, but you look at the individuals and the 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.080 NFC and the NFL, the Eagles have dropped more balls 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:46.560 than anybody. And this is a weird thing. With Sam Bradford. 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.199 You can trace this all the way back to Oklahoma. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.120 Guys just drop his passes. I don't know what it 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.719 is exactly. I mentioned that the Pat Sherman during the 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.920 preseason and training camp, there have been a lot of 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.240 drops and you can have these, I mean some of these. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.680 Last week we saw Matthews, Ryan Matthews that wheel rout 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.920 that that could have been six. I mean, it wasn't great, 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.240 It wasn't a great ball. But there have been a 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.520 lot of drops and that's something that they really got 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.120 to that just has to stop. Bob. With all that 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.440 being said, do the Eagles travel to Washington Land over 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.040 Maryland and get to two and two by defeating their 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.600 NFC East rivals. I still a lot of questions in 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.880 my head. Especially you've got the new kicker out there 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.080 for the first time and they lost by a field 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.480 goal last year. I'm still gonna say yeah, I've see 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.320 them getting to five hundred as well. And I think 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.920 that the issue is going to be establishing the running game, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.320 whether it's DeMarco Murray being healthy again, whether it's a 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.400 heavy dose of Ryan Matthews. The weather is going to 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.880 be miserable. They're predicting hurricane like conditions at FedExField. You 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.320 need to be able to pound the running game to 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.520 set up the rhythm in the offense that I talked about. 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.800 I think they win the game. I think it's low scoring. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.200 I think it's your typical Eagles redskins, black and blue 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.880 NFC East Division battle. I think the Eagles get to win, 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.080 and by the time the Giants come here in three 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.600 weeks time, that game is for first place in the division, 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.680 and they got to catch the ball. They have to 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.760 catch the ball. Might be a little tougher with the hurricane. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.160 Tell me there this weekend.

We're talking NFC East, 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.640 Welcome back to Eagles three sixty. Dave Spidero Joe to 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.880 camera and we know it's wide open. We know it's crazy. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.920 We know it has not been particularly impressive in the division. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.120 But let's go around the horn, shall we? And start 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.200 in Washington. A team that a week ago was talking 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.080 about being a team to beat in the division loses. 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.520 The Giants beat them up pretty good and there's some 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.520 injuries to worry about in Washington. What's your make on 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.560 that team? Well, first off, let's go back a week ago, Dave, 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.680 because when people were talking about the Riskins as the 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.920 team to beat, I thought that was crazy. I mean, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.720 you know, Kirk Cousins come on now, so it's not 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.520 like someone's not going to emerge. And when this division, 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:01.880 and it might be an eight and eight, nine and 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.120 seven team, and hey, hopefully it's the Eagles. Hopefully it's 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:05.960 the Eagles. A tenant six or eleven to five, we'll say. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:07.880 But I never bought that the Redskins were head and 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.920 shoulders involve anybody. I just didn't think it was the case. Obviously, 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.200 they have done some things well this year. They're running 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:14.920 the ball well, They've got the tandem in the backfield, 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.280 which helps them. The Shawn Jackson's been out as we know, 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:18.720 so it'll be interesting to see how you know how 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.240 long some the Shaun gets back whether he plays this week. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.000 But I don't think the Redskins are a formidable foe 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:25.960 for the I think it's a wide open division. And 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:30.080 you know injuries up front, Seawan Luavo offensive guard out, 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:35.600 D'Angelo Hall, their best cornerback outs, they're they're just beat up. 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.640 And we don't think DeShawn Jackson plays, have a lot 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.960 of turnover some Kirk Cousins, yet they do things well. 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.840 They're physical, the defense ranks highly haven't given up a 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.560 lot of points, a lot of yards, and they're they're 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.840 going to play smashing mounth football against Eagles. And on Sunday, 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:53.280 we don't know what the weather is going to be 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:57.400 like at FedEx Field. It could be a monsoon like conditions, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.400 so that would really change everything would be interesting. I 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.600 remember the playoff game versus the forty nine ers and 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.320 ninety six I was supposed to be in up monsoon. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.560 Turns out it really wasn't Thererison win. It wasn't like that. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.000 But one thing to look for this weekend. Through the 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.280 first three weeks of the season, Washington is blitzing less 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.000 than any team in Pro football. And you know the Eagles. 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:14.520 I think when you stack the line and bring the 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.680 pressure with the young receivers having to beat the press 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.520 coverage quickly, that's been a spot the Eagles have struggled 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.080 at times this year. It'll be interesting to see how 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.240 Washington approaches that they've given that typically through this point 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.520 of the season, they haven't been blitzing Ryan Kerrigan fourteen 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.800 and a half sacks a year ago, just one a 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.520 half sack through three games. How about the New York 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.720 Giants feeling pretty good about themselves after a win over 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:39.879 Washington last Thursday. Expected to get Victor Cruz back in 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:44.199 the lineup on Sunday, and they are potent offensively with 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.360 Eli Manning at the quarterback position. Still some questions upfront 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.120 offensively and then defensively not getting a pass rush at all. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.199 But I still think the Giants ultimately will be a 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:58.600 really tough out, and the schedules pretty favorable with the Giants. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.000 They've got a tough games at Buffalo home with San 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.720 Francisco before they come to Philadelphia in the Monday night game. 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.199 I never wrote the Giants off, even when they row 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:09.720 in two, and of course we saw seasons when they 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.720 row in two and won the Super Bowl. So I 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.840 think the Giants are absolutely a team that you've got 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.400 to be conscious of in this division, and then they'll 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.080 be there for a while. And you mentioned it, Dave. 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.680 Eli Manning as of right now with Tony Romo out, 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.080 I mean Eli Manning clearly his head and shoulders, I 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.960 think the best quarterback in the division. At least it's healthy, 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.119 so that gives them an advantage. Of course, you know 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:30.960 without Jason pr Paul, that goes to the lack of 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.840 pass rush you've been talking about. But I do believe 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:35.639 in Tom Coughlin. Look he's been up and down the 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.560 last couple of years, we know it. But when he's up, 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:39.720 and when Eli Manning's up, they can be way the 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.760 heck up. And that's something you just can't brush past quickly. 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.639 And the Dallas Cowboys were up, really up early in 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.280 the game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, and then 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.000 they went way down from fourteen to nothing up they 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:56.000 lost thirty nine twenty eight, the defense finally being spent 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.560 showing some weeks after a couple of really strong weeks 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.800 without all those players, without Scandrick and Greg Hardy and 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.840 Randy Gregory, and Rolando McClean. They played so well at Philadelphia, 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.840 but against the surging Falcons, the Cowboys were romped. So 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.120 there's some questions about that football team. This week, though, 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.040 they get the Saints without Drew Brees, and it's certainly 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.080 an advantage to the Cowboys for sure. It'll be interesting 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:20.400 to see if the Eagles get them in two weeks 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.400 because that could be a swing factor. But let's look 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.959 ahead here with the Dallas Cowboys and their upcoming schedule, 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.040 because it really is daunting in some ways. Again, at 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.520 New Orleans, no Labreez plays, That makes it a harder game. 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.119 Then they play Week five versus New England coming off 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:34.680 a bye week, and they think about that, You're talking 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.040 about a Patriots team right now looks like absolutely one 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.359 of the strongest teams in football. Then the Cowboys have 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.399 their by which is an advantage to them with Romo out. 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:42.879 It gives them a you know, a week to have 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.560 Romo out and not play a game. Then they go 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.120 at the Giants, which certainly could be a test for them. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.240 Seattle at home, all right, so that stuff, and then 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.919 Week nine versus the Eagles. That's the point where you 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.960 hope the Eagles can return. Eagles coming off to buy 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:58.680 and you look back to last year the Eagles win 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.160 in big deal and Thanksgiving Day, and then Dallas comes 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.399 up here, you know, to the Lincoln Financial field and 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.920 wins to you know, reverse things you hope the Eagles 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.600
