Speaker 1: We welcome you to Eagles three sixty days Sparrow Eagles
Speaker 1: Insider along with Glenn mac Now on this Thursday here
Speaker 1: at the Novacare Complex and Eagles going through with the
Speaker 1: basicle and kind of a quiet day when you put
Speaker 1: everything in perspective, A good day to step back and
Speaker 1: look at everything that's happened beyond Carson Wentz. I think
Speaker 1: this is a this is a pivotal moment in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles history. This is not just Carson Wentz starting. This
Speaker 1: is Doug Peterson. Is funny, isn't It's so funny that
Speaker 1: there's a new coach beginning a new administration, and that
Speaker 1: gets so lost in the shuffle. There are how many
Speaker 1: new faces on the roster twenty something, I believe is
Speaker 1: why right starters all over the field. But it is
Speaker 1: really does everybody's just once the big rookie quarterback. What
Speaker 1: expectations do you have for Doug in this game? I
Speaker 1: mean when he was hired, remember his opening press conference
Speaker 1: peppered with questions about clock management. So what do you
Speaker 1: want to see on Sunday? Well, you leave me right
Speaker 1: into it. I want to see him run a clean
Speaker 1: game that's got a good game plan and good clock management.
Speaker 1: Now that's going to become a little more challenging with
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback with whom he hasn't really established much
Speaker 1: of a rhythm. So I understand there may be that
Speaker 1: time where they go up to the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: and it's clear that Carson Wentz doesn't recognize something, so
Speaker 1: therefore they got to call the time out. So you
Speaker 1: give them that, But I want to see from Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson a sense going in that he's got the organizational
Speaker 1: skills that we want him to have. That was maybe
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's weakness at times. Fair enough, Okay, Okay. Now
Speaker 1: today Jim Schwartz defensive coordinator and Frank Reich offensive coordinate
Speaker 1: met the media and let's get you cut up and
Speaker 1: everything that they had to say and everything happening with
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Abby Atwater are three sixty update. Hey
Speaker 1: Eagles fans, I'm Abbey Atwater and this is your three
Speaker 1: sixty update. Today in the locker room, we caught up
Speaker 1: with wide receiver Doyle Greenbeckham, who compared this year's Eagles
Speaker 1: second overall draft pick Carson Wentz to last year's Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans second overall draft pick Marcus Mariota. They had really
Speaker 1: good touch on the ball and they both run the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: They can run the ball if needed. And I feel like,
Speaker 1: as a young guy, you just gotta you gotta continue
Speaker 1: to stay focused. I know there's a lot on my plate.
Speaker 1: I mean because I knew last year watching Marcus he
Speaker 1: had a lot on whose plays, so like we won
Speaker 1: like really too much in his ear. We just had
Speaker 1: to make sure that he was doing what the coasts
Speaker 1: aye and I'm doing. Also, you gotta communicate. Has been
Speaker 1: a receiver, some young guys come in, has been nervous,
Speaker 1: but as a right now, so what I see, I
Speaker 1: don't really think that Carson is nervous. I think he's
Speaker 1: eager to get out there and make players. And I
Speaker 1: feel like as a group, as a receiver group, like
Speaker 1: we know that we gotta communicate with him to help
Speaker 1: him out as the seeing coverages or corner and blessing
Speaker 1: stuff like that, we go as we say, we got
Speaker 1: to be able to talk to each other and let
Speaker 1: the quarterback know what we see. Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's
Speaker 1: planned is to keep the defensive one rotating, not only
Speaker 1: to keep them fresh in game, but all season long.
Speaker 1: We caught up with Connor Barwin and Brandon Graham in
Speaker 1: the locker room today to get their take on the rotation.
Speaker 1: You know, we want to be fresh, not only throughout
Speaker 1: the game Sunday, but really we want to be fresh
Speaker 1: come you know, the end of November, December, January, and
Speaker 1: when you can get contribution from everybody up front and
Speaker 1: rotate guys every three, four or five plays, they'll make
Speaker 1: you fresh come the end of the year. For us,
Speaker 1: I mean, man, I just love it because right now
Speaker 1: I feel fresh, and we just went through a hard
Speaker 1: training camp. I feel good. Coach take care of take
Speaker 1: care of us, and for us, we got to make
Speaker 1: sure we take care of our bodies and that's what
Speaker 1: we've been doing. And I think what the rotation is
Speaker 1: definitely gonna help towards the end of the season when
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of dog tired from taking eighty some snaps
Speaker 1: in the game or you know, you know, right go
Speaker 1: sometimes you might some people don't come up and I'll
Speaker 1: get there, but we don't have that on this team.
Speaker 1: We got a nice rotation. I think coach want to
Speaker 1: take care of us, and I guess you'll show this
Speaker 1: week to hear more from Doyle Greenbeckham and Brandon Graham.
Speaker 1: Keep it right here at Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Four
Speaker 1: your three sixty update. I'm Abbie Atwater. Thanks so much, Abby,
Speaker 1: We've got so much to get to today here on
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty Jordan Matthew's visits in studio, we focus
Speaker 1: in on Trey Burton, who figures to be a big
Speaker 1: part of this Eagles offense. And Glenn will offer some
Speaker 1: bold predictions for the twenty sixteen season, and I like him.
Speaker 1: By the way, they're not bad. They're not bad. Just
Speaker 1: do me a favor at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Don't remind me well. I hope they come true. Something
Speaker 1: with anyway. But when we returned to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: Chris McPherson talks with Andrew Gribble Cleveland Browns dot Com
Speaker 1: the very latest on the transition happening in Cleveland. I
Speaker 1: sup to Philly. I sup Philly, the bus, the trolley,
Speaker 1: the train, Jefferson Station, Airport line, sixty nine Street, broad

Speaker 1: your life to replenish. We are back at Hegoes three
Speaker 1: sixty Dave Spidero Glenn mac Now we're gonna hear from
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns in just a moment. But Glenn, the
Speaker 1: question I have for you is, what do you think
Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Browns. I think they're the Cleveland Browns,
Speaker 1: which means they're probably not that good. However, they have
Speaker 1: a new coach in Hugh Jackson. I think people really
Speaker 1: like they got Robert Griffin the third and the reports
Speaker 1: I heard is that he's very up and down in practice.
Speaker 1: They like him enough now that they's been named the captain.
Speaker 1: Leadership was a problem with him in the past. They
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of talent. They don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of wide receiver talent. They're in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: like the Eagles, a team in transition, so we'll see
Speaker 1: they don't have for this game. Josh Gordon and how
Speaker 1: about this statistic the Browns one in fifteen in their
Speaker 1: last sixteen opening days. It really is remarkable, all right,
Speaker 1: Chris McPherson with Andrew Gribble, Cleveland Browns dot Com. Let's
Speaker 1: go to that and talk about the Cleveland Browns. Week
Speaker 1: one is almost upon us, and it's time to go
Speaker 1: behind enemy lines, presented by Gatoray here on Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot Com. I'm Chris McPherson, and I'm gonna welcome in
Speaker 1: the man who covers the Browns for Cleveland Browns dot
Speaker 1: Com and that's Andrew Gribble. Andrew, you've seen Robert Griffin
Speaker 1: at third developed throughout the spring and summer. What have
Speaker 1: you seen from him, not just on the field, but
Speaker 1: off the field that makes you think that he's ready
Speaker 1: to lead the Browns in twenty sixteen. Well, I think
Speaker 1: the key thing with Robert is that he's really just
Speaker 1: gotten better from the moment that he's gotten here, and
Speaker 1: each just after that, he's kept stacking good days on
Speaker 1: top of each other. I think if you look back
Speaker 1: at OTAs and may you know, and I think he
Speaker 1: was struggling with a few things, whereas Josh McCown was
Speaker 1: looking smooth, steady like a veteran and playing the position well.
Speaker 1: But then you get in August and Robert Griffin's getting
Speaker 1: more and more comfortable with the offense or comfortable with
Speaker 1: what Hugh Jackson is asking of him. And I think
Speaker 1: that showed in the preseason. I think there was some
Speaker 1: ups and downs, but really he had a very effective
Speaker 1: preseason that he makes a lot of deep balls with
Speaker 1: some good some smart scrambling and sliving to keep to
Speaker 1: keep himself protected. And he's gotten himself acclimated pretty well
Speaker 1: with this wide receiving cores that for the most part,
Speaker 1: is very young and inexperienced, and I think he's worked
Speaker 1: well with them. And I think off the field, I
Speaker 1: think he's won over the locker room and I think
Speaker 1: that that was evidence today when he was voted one
Speaker 1: of five season long captains for this team. And I
Speaker 1: think he's he's in the same line with Joe Thomas,
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden, and Damario O'Davis kind of respected veterans, but
Speaker 1: he came in and went over a locker room that
Speaker 1: he was brand new too. And I think he's really
Speaker 1: enjoyed this change of scenery. And we'll see how it
Speaker 1: plays out. He could ask some diversity during the season,
Speaker 1: but he's been pretty smooth for him so far. Andrew,
Speaker 1: when I watched the Browns in the preseason, Robert Griffin
Speaker 1: the third had Josh Gordon the throw of the football too.
Speaker 1: He will not have that this Sunday at the link.
Speaker 1: So who are some of the weapons who will try
Speaker 1: to help Griffin and the Browns offense moved down the field? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, oddly enough, it starts with Parrell Pryor. And
Speaker 1: it's crazy to even say that, but because he's not.
Speaker 1: He's pretty new to the position, but he is easily
Speaker 1: the most improved player on this team from from last
Speaker 1: year at this time. He's just really attacked a position
Speaker 1: in the offseason, learned a lot of the interticies of it,
Speaker 1: and he's clearly blessed with some size, speed and athleticism
Speaker 1: that that he have ever had, and I think that
Speaker 1: that has played into his hands and he really has
Speaker 1: made plays all throughout the police season. I think he
Speaker 1: kind of fell off the radar a little bit when
Speaker 1: Josh Gorden got back on the field, but these first
Speaker 1: four games he's going to have the opportunity is as
Speaker 1: a starting wide receiver on this team. And on the
Speaker 1: other side of the field is Corey Coleman, the rookie
Speaker 1: out of Baylor, who his first ten days of training
Speaker 1: camp were outstanding. He was catching deep balls and everything
Speaker 1: that was thrown his way during that portion of training camp,
Speaker 1: and injury set him back a little bit. He missed
Speaker 1: the first couple of preseason games and he worked back
Speaker 1: in slowly these last three and the third and fourth game.
Speaker 1: So it's a matter of getting him more comfortable and
Speaker 1: getting his confidence maybe back up to where it was
Speaker 1: at the start of training camp. So those are the
Speaker 1: two guys there. The rest of the group outside of
Speaker 1: veteran Andrew Hawkins his rookie, and I think that those
Speaker 1: rookies are going to have to step up and make plays.
Speaker 1: That includes Richard Higgins and Ricardo Lewis, who will probably
Speaker 1: be the fourth and fifth wide receivers on this team.
Speaker 1: So a lot of young guys. And then you know,
Speaker 1: you always had your valuable Pro Bowl tight end and
Speaker 1: Gary Vardens that can really make things easy for you
Speaker 1: when the defense is crashing on you. So, Andrew, I
Speaker 1: don't know of you've heard, but there's a rookie in
Speaker 1: Philadelphi who will be already at a quarterback in Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: the number two overall pick. What is Ray Horton, the
Speaker 1: veteran defensive coordinator, going to do to try to get
Speaker 1: Wentz off track? Well, you know, I think he's just
Speaker 1: got He's got a young defense that he's working with
Speaker 1: right now. He's just got to get them comfortable and
Speaker 1: confidence in the roles that they have and whether that
Speaker 1: means they're gonna come out of the base three four,
Speaker 1: which is what they showed a lot of early in
Speaker 1: the preseason or if they go it's more more nickel,
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think he's he like he believes in blitzing.
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of blitzing throughout the preseason. But
Speaker 1: really I just think he wants these guys to play
Speaker 1: with confidence. I mean, you look at the depth chart
Speaker 1: right now the Browns. You've got rookies at both of
Speaker 1: the outside linebackers spots, and Emmanuel Ozma and Joe Shoberg.
Speaker 1: I think a guy like Carl nass Of another rookie,
Speaker 1: has played well in the preseason, and you want him
Speaker 1: playing well when the season gets started. So you've got
Speaker 1: a young secondary, you want them to start playing with confidence. Well.
Speaker 1: So the Browns have really maintained this focus that it's
Speaker 1: all about what they do, it's not what the Eagles
Speaker 1: are doing, because I think that the defense has had
Speaker 1: some issues throughout the preseason and they're trying to work
Speaker 1: those kinks out as well. You look back at last season,
Speaker 1: the Browns struggled on defense throughout the season, but they
Speaker 1: had a great performance against a rookie quarterback in Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariotta week two. I think that it's all about bringing
Speaker 1: pressure and throwing in a guy off his game and
Speaker 1: really making him feel uncomfortable and kind of bringing pressure
Speaker 1: that they have never seen before in their entire football career.
Speaker 1: Great breaking down these regular season matchups. Andrew Gribble from
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns dot com, Thank you very much for taking
Speaker 1: this Behind Enemy Lines presented by Gatorade. You're on Philadelphia

Speaker 1: lot to get to here on Eagles three sixty. Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews and studio in a bit a focus on Trey
Speaker 1: Burton as well, but when we return, it's well something
Speaker 1: that I love. Glenn macnow bold predictions. He's often wrong,
Speaker 1: but sometimes he finds that acorn and he got to
Speaker 1: twin right. That's coming up on Eagles three sixty. The
Speaker 1: guy was a legend on the field. He poured everything
Speaker 1: he had into this game. You gotta wonder what he's
Speaker 1: doing on game day now, guys up, picture cupcakes, better

Speaker 1: Dave Spidero Glenn Macnow, it's Eagles three sixty. We come
Speaker 1: your way every day during a week, Monday through Friday
Speaker 1: here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the official Eagles app.
Speaker 1: And now, without further ado, Glenn macnow has three bold
Speaker 1: predictions four the Eagles in two thousand and sixteen Lease
Speaker 1: of the season. One and I did this last year
Speaker 1: six seen weeks five. That's eighty. I was, what do
Speaker 1: you figure about seventy for eighty? Yeah? Wrong, That's why
Speaker 1: they're bold. Day. Here you go number one, and I
Speaker 1: feel really confident about this one. Dariel Greenbeckham is going
Speaker 1: to prove to be a steal for the Eagles who
Speaker 1: got him for a backup offensive lineman. They probably weren't
Speaker 1: going to keep it anyway. Now, this relies on Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson finding creative ways to use Dariel Greenbeckham, and it
Speaker 1: relies on Greenbeckham keeping his head in the playbook, something
Speaker 1: he has not always been great about. But if that
Speaker 1: works out, and I love I told you that three
Speaker 1: tight ends set and they figure out a way to
Speaker 1: use them there and in the red zone, I think
Speaker 1: the kid's gonna get eight touchdown passes, forty fifty catches
Speaker 1: and will be a big addition to the wide receiving quote. Okay,
Speaker 1: I happen to agree with you on this one. And
Speaker 1: I think Daiel Greenbeckham, not that it really matters if
Speaker 1: he starts or not, but I think he's gonna start
Speaker 1: and could start on Sunday, and we'll be a big
Speaker 1: part of things. And they're gonna feed him the offense
Speaker 1: in very small chunks and throw footballs up for grabs
Speaker 1: and routes and go routes. And by the way, Cleveland's
Speaker 1: tallest cornerback is sixty tall. Yeah, so there will be
Speaker 1: opportunities to go up and get it in the red zone.
Speaker 1: And I think he's going to do that this year,
Speaker 1: this weekend, all year, all right. Number two. This one
Speaker 1: may be more than a more of a hope than
Speaker 1: anything else, but I think it will be a key
Speaker 1: part of the Eagles success this year. Ryan Matthews is
Speaker 1: going to stay healthy. He's only been healthy two of
Speaker 1: his six years in the NFL, and when he was
Speaker 1: he rushed for eleven hundred yards one year and twelve
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five yards the other. He's got the
Speaker 1: eleventh best rushing average per carry average of any running
Speaker 1: back actively in the league. He's great when he plays.
Speaker 1: Obviously he doesn't play enough. If he can do it,
Speaker 1: I think he'll rush ro over a thousand, and this
Speaker 1: team will be that much the better foot I mean,
Speaker 1: that's fingers crossed yea prediction because he's only done a
Speaker 1: two out of six years. The point through Jamaica is
Speaker 1: a good one, O Glenn because Ryan Matthews very talented,
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty two hundred and twenty five pounds,
Speaker 1: has that explosiveness, can run away from defenses. We saw
Speaker 1: that last year in Carolina. Powerful, make you miss a
Speaker 1: little bit. It's all there for Ryan Matthews. It's just
Speaker 1: that he hasn't been all there on the field. So
Speaker 1: we are all hoping that the Eagles can put him
Speaker 1: in bubble wrap and make him go. It'll be a
Speaker 1: big win, all right. Here you go. Number three. This
Speaker 1: entire division, the NFCA East, from top to bottom, is
Speaker 1: going to finish within three games of each other. No
Speaker 1: team is going to win double digit games in this division.
Speaker 1: The top team's gonna win maybe nine, the bottom team's
Speaker 1: gonna win maybe six. And what that means, obviously is
Speaker 1: the division's wide open. Dallas's defense is terrible, and while
Speaker 1: everybody's putting Dak Prescott in Canton, it's got a lot
Speaker 1: to prove right here. The Giants defense is better, but
Speaker 1: it was thirty second in the league last year. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how much better is and their offensive line
Speaker 1: looks like a mess. Washington is probably the best team
Speaker 1: in the division right now. They don't have much of
Speaker 1: a running game, and other than Ryan Kerrigan, I don't
Speaker 1: think they have that much of a pass rush. Nobody's
Speaker 1: gonna run away with this division. Nine wins at the top,
Speaker 1: six wins at the bottom. All right, I agree that
Speaker 1: it's open. I think somebody will get to ten wins,
Speaker 1: maybe eleven wins. Who do you think? Well, I think
Speaker 1: the Redskins are the best team in the division as
Speaker 1: a whole. They are the defending champions. They aren't. We'd
Speaker 1: love to say the Eagles, but we just don't know.
Speaker 1: With Carson Wentz as the starting quarterback, So going in
Speaker 1: Washington is the team to beat in the SCS. You
Speaker 1: know what it means. Meaningful football in December, Meaningful football
Speaker 1: starting tonight in the NFL. Glenn macnow three of his
Speaker 1: five bull predictions. You can hear the other two on
Speaker 1: game day when we have our kickoff show here on
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles dot com. And let's keep score out there.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's keep score Glenn Macnow, he knows everything. No, no,
Speaker 1: all right, We've got some interviews to get to here.
Speaker 1: Next up on Eagles three sixty, Jordan Matthews, Eagles wide receiver,
Speaker 1: sits down with me talks about the Eagles offense. Matthews
Speaker 1: hasn't played the entire preseason, but he's ready to go
Speaker 1: on Sunday. What does that mean for the Eagles offense.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it when we return. This portion of

Speaker 1: tickets they're not stealing your soul. You can look at them.
Speaker 1: May nobody wants to buy tickets from I guy on
Speaker 1: the street. I don't understand. Growing up, we had a
Speaker 1: basketball hoop in our driveway and that's all I used
Speaker 1: to play with. This past August, I happened to notice
Speaker 1: the bump on my foot, So my parents and I
Speaker 1: decided that we would go to Rothman at Jefferson. We
Speaker 1: found out from a biopsie that I had an osteosarcoma cancer. Scary,
Speaker 1: but the Rothman doctors felt so confident in what they
Speaker 1: were going to do, and it couldn't have turned out
Speaker 1: any better. The Rothman Institute Jefferson was able to get
Speaker 1: me back on the court, and back's where I wanted
Speaker 1: to be. We welcome now to our studio wide receiver
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews, who missed the entire preseason. We were worried
Speaker 1: about him. We're no longer worried about him. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the man. He's in great shape and he's
Speaker 1: ready to go on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Right.
Speaker 1: I'm excited man to go. What was it like for you, Jordan,
Speaker 1: to miss because I know you're such a competitive guy
Speaker 1: and and perhaps not as patient as as some would lee.
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to be out there and play,
Speaker 1: you know, it was definitely different. It was something that
Speaker 1: obviously I wasn't expecting. I've never missed that much time.
Speaker 1: I've actually never missed a game my entire career when
Speaker 1: it comes to little league, any sport, basketball, football, baseball,
Speaker 1: college either or obviously when I was in the pros too.
Speaker 1: So that was my first couple of games, was preseason games,
Speaker 1: So it definitely was a test of patience. But you
Speaker 1: know what was crazy was going into this year, I
Speaker 1: had did a lot more training as far as like
Speaker 1: my mind and not just my body. Saw. I got
Speaker 1: in to read more books and just stuff like that
Speaker 1: and just really like honing in on the mental side
Speaker 1: of the game. So if there was ever a time
Speaker 1: for this to happen, you know, it was it was
Speaker 1: now because I was able to handle it mentally. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like something I do alled on. I looked at
Speaker 1: the facts I was gonna be out a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: but I still saw the positives and it got a
Speaker 1: lot of mental reps and I knew I was gonna
Speaker 1: be able to come back for the first week. So
Speaker 1: I was still excited. And now we are here, just
Speaker 1: a couple of days away from the openers. So compare
Speaker 1: how you felt three years ago to now in the
Speaker 1: days leading up to the first game, you know, it
Speaker 1: definitely feels a lot different. You know, my first game
Speaker 1: going into the NFL. I mean, you had so many guys.
Speaker 1: You had la Sean McCoy who was coming off a
Speaker 1: great year. You had Jermy Macklin, who, you know, we
Speaker 1: all knew what he could do and he was still
Speaker 1: coming out of injury. He had Riley who was coming
Speaker 1: off a great year, Zach Hurst coming off with a
Speaker 1: great rookie year, Brent Sellick who was like mister Eagle.
Speaker 1: And then you know all these moving parts, you know,
Speaker 1: dimension Darren sprows yet and then you got Sprolls, So
Speaker 1: there's so much talent around and then you're just like
Speaker 1: the small piece of the puzzle, you know, coming in. So,
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was definitely something different. I
Speaker 1: just had to kind of just focus on my job
Speaker 1: and that was it. And now obviously going into this year,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. Obviously I still just focus
Speaker 1: on my job, but the job expands. That's the way
Speaker 1: I kind of look at it. So not only do
Speaker 1: I just go in and say, Okay, what do I
Speaker 1: have to do? Get that done? Sometimes I have to
Speaker 1: make sure, okay, you know, how's how's my receiver group doing?
Speaker 1: Making sure that I'm motivating those guys, you know, if
Speaker 1: they need help with plays or anything, you know, bringing
Speaker 1: DGB along because you know he's had a short time
Speaker 1: to learn everything. So just taking that bigger role, you know,
Speaker 1: as a leader, but still obviously make sure I'm doing
Speaker 1: what I need to do on the field. You said,
Speaker 1: bringing my wide receiver group along, my receiver group. Do
Speaker 1: you feel like it's your group, like it's your room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I definitely feel like, you know, as far
Speaker 1: as like the guys in there. You know, I'm looked
Speaker 1: at as a leader. You know, I'm me and help
Speaker 1: of the two oldest guys there, you know, So I
Speaker 1: mean that right there. Obviously you have to make sure
Speaker 1: you step up. Um, it's not a situation though that's
Speaker 1: really like scary for me. I've I've always taken that,
Speaker 1: you know, position, whether I was in high school or college.
Speaker 1: But you know, I might say that, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, I don't. I don't go in there. I'm
Speaker 1: not like some nas like or I guy. You know,
Speaker 1: I just make sure I take that response ability on
Speaker 1: my shoulders to go out and practice and be the example,
Speaker 1: to be the example in the community, to make sure
Speaker 1: that I'm always doing the right things. Or there's taking notes,
Speaker 1: even if I've heard it a million times, So when
Speaker 1: other guys see it, they're like, Okay, you know that's
Speaker 1: the standard. That's not hard work, that's what you have
Speaker 1: to do in order to stay in this league. So
Speaker 1: you know, I just kind of take the responsibility on
Speaker 1: myself to do that, and I think it's a it's
Speaker 1: something that I embrace. Have you seen somebody like DGB
Speaker 1: who you mentioned, see what you're doing and follow your lead?
Speaker 1: Have you Have you seen examples of that? Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I've definitely seen those guys, you know, in practice making
Speaker 1: sure they're catching the ball and finishing. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to sit here and say that I think that,
Speaker 1: oh he saw me do it and now he's doing it.
Speaker 1: But it's definitely something I've noticed, so you know, it'd
Speaker 1: be cool to take her after that. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, you know, he still has to go out
Speaker 1: there and do it, so it's still attesting it to
Speaker 1: his you know, hard work and his ability to go
Speaker 1: out there and practice hard. But um, you know, you'll
Speaker 1: you'll see some of the young guys, you know, when
Speaker 1: they come into meetings where they're tired or whatever, those
Speaker 1: kind of look over and I'm like pulling out my notebook.
Speaker 1: You know, every single time they're okay. You know, well
Speaker 1: if he don't got it, then I definitely don't got it,
Speaker 1: you know. And I might know it fronts to back,
Speaker 1: but it's still just make you always got to make
Speaker 1: sure you do those things. This opportunity that you have
Speaker 1: to play in the league is too pressures so every
Speaker 1: single day you get to ply out that note book.
Speaker 1: I feel like you need to. Jordan many twists and
Speaker 1: many turns for the Seagulls offense in the preseason. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about this group a couple of days
Speaker 1: before the opener? You know, I'm excited about the group.
Speaker 1: You know, if you just start, you know with the
Speaker 1: old line, you know, obviously we're gonna it looks like
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to have Lane for the first game.
Speaker 1: So that's obviously a big boost. You know, what he
Speaker 1: can do on the field for us is huge. Um,
Speaker 1: we got experience at the center position, and Kelsey al
Speaker 1: plays hard at guard and then bringing in Brandon, I
Speaker 1: think it's been huge for us at that level guard spot.
Speaker 1: And then you know, I can't say enough about you know,
Speaker 1: Jason Peters He's been one of my guys who I've
Speaker 1: looked up to ever since I got here. We look
Speaker 1: at the backfield and you know, the receivers and all
Speaker 1: the things. I feel like we got a lot of
Speaker 1: moving parks. I'm not gonna talk about the guys everybody knows,
Speaker 1: but I know one guy who I'm really excited about
Speaker 1: it is Trey. I think Trey has done a lot
Speaker 1: for us in the preseason, but those are just games
Speaker 1: everybody sees. I'll see what he does off the field
Speaker 1: and in practice day in and day out. So I'm
Speaker 1: really excited about he's gonna be able to help us.
Speaker 1: You know, also ken Yan too. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: be able to give us depth at that running back
Speaker 1: position and be able to take the load off Spros
Speaker 1: and Ryan, you know, as the season goes on. So
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to what we got and we've
Speaker 1: got a little change of quarterback here. Didn't mention Carson.
Speaker 1: What do you see from him out there? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: didn't mention Carson on purpose. I want to keep that
Speaker 1: a secret. I don't want nobody know. I'm excited, though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean everybody's so you see him every day in
Speaker 1: howse he handled himself this week. Oh man, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it took me honestly, Like I would say,
Speaker 1: like the first two or three days I was around Carson.
Speaker 1: You know, I knew I knew he had it, you know,
Speaker 1: And a lot of guys don't have that it. You know,
Speaker 1: the game can be too big for him, pressure can
Speaker 1: get to him. They may be too cocky, they might
Speaker 1: be seemed like they're an up and down guy. But
Speaker 1: he's steady, he has a great balance. He's a but
Speaker 1: he's not over the top obnoxious. He works hard, but
Speaker 1: it's not where it's like annoying. He knows when to
Speaker 1: speak when not to speak. And then when he goes
Speaker 1: out there and plays, he's a type of quarterback that
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, you know he wants to throw first.
Speaker 1: He can run, but even when he's scrambling out the pocket,
Speaker 1: he's still looking the pass. And so you're like, dang,
Speaker 1: like how did this guy come out in North Dakota?
Speaker 1: Like how did nobody know about this dude when he
Speaker 1: was coming out of high school and stuff? And so
Speaker 1: I remember, I can't remember who was sad. I think
Speaker 1: it was John Gruden said he feels like the best
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are the ones with a chip on their shoulder.
Speaker 1: If you look at all the best quarterbacks in the league,
Speaker 1: you look at the Aaron Rodgers, you look at the
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's, they came in league with a chip on
Speaker 1: their shoulder. And when you think about a guy who
Speaker 1: had no offers really coming out of high school and
Speaker 1: then went to North Dakota, like, I can relate, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And so I like that. So
Speaker 1: when you got that chip and you're focused on making
Speaker 1: sure you go out there and be the best you
Speaker 1: can be, you're competing against yourself, then I think that's
Speaker 1: when I'm confident that guy because he's not worried about
Speaker 1: everything that's going on. He's not worried about the media,
Speaker 1: the fans, what people are saying. He's just trying to
Speaker 1: go out there and get his job done. So I'm
Speaker 1: really excited about what you can do. Jordan Cleveland comes
Speaker 1: to town on Sunday. What is it about their defense?
Speaker 1: What have you seen? What can we expect to watch
Speaker 1: from them? Are they gonna try I mean they're gonna
Speaker 1: try to get inside Curson's head and do all these
Speaker 1: crazy things that he's never seen. What do you expect
Speaker 1: from them? Um, you know, you definitely expect obviously because
Speaker 1: we are starting rookie, they're gonna try and come after him.
Speaker 1: We gonna try and ral him, show a bunch of
Speaker 1: different coverages and stuff. You know, sometimes when defenses come
Speaker 1: in and they're going to get us an experience, you
Speaker 1: know quarterback, they'll say, keep it simple, now, we guys
Speaker 1: can play fast. Well, when they're going to get used
Speaker 1: a young one, they'll try and mix up a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff because they feel like his head's want to
Speaker 1: be spending. So I'm confident he'll be able to handle that.
Speaker 1: But from the defense, I mean mainly obviously we watched
Speaker 1: the secondary. You know. You know, Joe Hayden is one
Speaker 1: guy who's highly talented. One top five corners is probably
Speaker 1: in the NFL, so he gets a lot of attention.
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys who will follow you know
Speaker 1: whoever usually team's best receiver is, so you know, we've
Speaker 1: all just been making sure we keep eye on him.
Speaker 1: But then also some of their safeties those guys pretty
Speaker 1: physical too, so it's a good group out there. We
Speaker 1: got to make sure you're ready. I think the guys
Speaker 1: are definitely excited about the matchup opening day, just a
Speaker 1: couple of days away. Exciting. Isn't it really fun? Jordan Matthews,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much? Man? Is there good luck on Sunday?

Speaker 1: Our final segment here on Eagles three sixty David Glenn,
Speaker 1: and we're now going to talk about a player that
Speaker 1: we think we'll have a big role in Eagles offense.
Speaker 1: Trey Burton. Yeah. Absolutely, the three tight ends. At the kid,
Speaker 1: he can catch the ball. He's gonna be part of it.
Speaker 1: Lineup at wide receiver, around the formation. Well enough from us.
Speaker 1: A progress report coming your way from Mike Race. Mike
Speaker 1: Quick and the subject is tight end Trey Burton. All right, Mike,
Speaker 1: progress support brings us to third year tight end Trey
Speaker 1: Burton certainly one of the stars of the preseason. Looks
Speaker 1: like Doug Peter Saint Frank Reich. I'm gonna find different
Speaker 1: ways to use Tray Burton in this offer. It's kind
Speaker 1: of a tight end, but he's such a hybrid you
Speaker 1: can do so many things with him. Trade is going
Speaker 1: to create a lot of mismatch, So they line him
Speaker 1: up wide himself, and he's gonna face a linebacker in
Speaker 1: situations like this, a linebacker against Trey Burton, that's a
Speaker 1: win for the Eagles most times. A quick slant route
Speaker 1: in the timing of it, I like the way Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford gets the ball out quickly. The linebacker has no
Speaker 1: effect on it, and it's just an easy throwing and
Speaker 1: catch on the slant route. Yeah, you give him that
Speaker 1: much cushion. He's way too good of an athlete to
Speaker 1: not take advantage of that. The thing I like about
Speaker 1: Trey Burton is that he's become a better blocker as
Speaker 1: well in this offense, which will also allow than to
Speaker 1: use him and run and pass situations. Watching down here
Speaker 1: in the red zone, you got your three tight end set.
Speaker 1: I think this would be a favorite personnel package a
Speaker 1: Frank Rik and Doug Peterson this year. Nice job a
Speaker 1: team in the double team in the block there gets
Speaker 1: up to the second level. Nice little crease of Ryan
Speaker 1: Matthews to get in. Yeah, that's just good solid work.
Speaker 1: He's helping zach Ertz to get that guy squared up
Speaker 1: on zach Ertz and then down to the second level.
Speaker 1: That's a real good team block. Yeah, no doubt about it. Again,
Speaker 1: when you put ERDs in with Selle and Trey Burton
Speaker 1: as a defense, you're thinking, this is a heavy run
Speaker 1: person a l package, right, we need to get our
Speaker 1: big guys in. And this is where the advantage comes
Speaker 1: for the Eagles because they can spread these guys out.
Speaker 1: You got Earth's out here to Tash, you got sellec
Speaker 1: and Burton over here. And what you notice is that
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Coats are confused as to where to go
Speaker 1: with picking up in their man to man coverage hike.
Speaker 1: They're all pointing, they're all jockeying around, They're not sure
Speaker 1: what to do here, and it catches them off. God
Speaker 1: on the snap, sell It gets up the field and
Speaker 1: it's almost a perfect screen. But Trey Burtons didn't go
Speaker 1: out into the flat. You got Trey going out into
Speaker 1: the flat, sell It coming up and it's a perfect screen.
Speaker 1: It's so difficult because he's such a hybrid to figure
Speaker 1: out what to do with him personnel wise, that he's
Speaker 1: going to create a lot of mismatch. Yeah, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. Trey Burton's versatility in the run game, manipassing
Speaker 1: game should be a big time advantage in this Eagle's offense.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Mike and Ike and Glenn. We touched
Speaker 1: on it before the segment, but it really does illustrate
Speaker 1: how versatile Trey is. He played so many positions at
Speaker 1: the University of Larda and suddenly is a vital part
Speaker 1: of this group Offensively, you look for him to be
Speaker 1: really kind of that that that X factor. Well, the
Speaker 1: Eagles offense that don't have skill positions, doesn't have skill
Speaker 1: position players who really can dominate a game, so they're
Speaker 1: gonna have to get contributions from a lot of guys.
Speaker 1: He is in that mix, and he will. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles are going, as you say, skiing it up,
Speaker 1: find good matchup straight, Burton could find a couple of
Speaker 1: footballs thrown his way in twenty and sixteen. All Right,
Speaker 1: what's ahead for you on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com and
Speaker 1: the official Eagles app, Well, we've got it for you.
Speaker 1: Here are Amurosso's on the menu. Look at what's coming up.
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson meets the media on Friday, his last press
Speaker 1: briefing before the Eagles begin the season against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: Alex Smith has stats only breaking it down by the
Speaker 1: numbers for this season opener, and Chris McPherson and Joe
Speaker 1: Decamera and their key matchups for Sunday's game. Amirosso's the
Speaker 1: reason Philly sandwiches are so famous. Your final thoughts here, Glenn,
Speaker 1: as we get read for Philadelphia Cleveland nine to eleven pageantry,
Speaker 1: a couple of eras beginning here. I really like the
Speaker 1: chances this week, and I know that you know, since
Speaker 1: the move, people are not looking at the Eagles to
Speaker 1: get off to a good start. I think Cleveland is
Speaker 1: a real good opponent to start with right now, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna go up to one and no
Speaker 1: beginning this year and then small close twenty to thirteen. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll live with that, another bold prediction. Thank you very much, Glenn.
Speaker 1: That's Glenn Macnow. I'm Dave Spidero. We thank you for
Speaker 1: joining us in Eagles three sixty. Have yourselves a great
Speaker 1: Eagles Day.
