Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It's Eagles three sixty Days Pedero Eagles Insider
Speaker 1: along with Glenn mcnow on this Thursday as Eagles prepare
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Stealers, and we have a great show
Speaker 1: for you today. I've got some bold predictions from Glen, right, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: we are going to have Brandon Graham in studio having
Speaker 1: a great year, isn't he is? He is really getting
Speaker 1: the opportunity this year to show what he's got. It's
Speaker 1: the best year of his career, I believe so far
Speaker 1: in the whole rejiggered offense or defense excuse me, a
Speaker 1: defensive line. Oh. He's an interesting guy too, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: a fun guy. And he's been really physical on the field.
Speaker 1: And we're also going to go behind enemy lines and
Speaker 1: talk about the Pittsburg Steelers, the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, the
Speaker 1: Steelers who are on top of all the power rankings
Speaker 1: in the NFL, on top of mine, but we've also
Speaker 1: got Glenn's bold predictions, three of them. And that's the
Speaker 1: highlight of my week always so. But first, let's get
Speaker 1: you caught up on everything happening with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and our Eagles three sixty Update. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update.
Speaker 1: Today at the Novicare Complex, we heard from Eagles defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator Jim Schwartz, who discussed how the Eagles do have
Speaker 1: to pay a lot of attention to wide receiver Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown on Sunday, but if they pay too much attention
Speaker 1: to him, he knews that the Steelers have other ways
Speaker 1: to move the ball on offense if we concentrate too
Speaker 1: much on eighty four and he's going to get a
Speaker 1: lot of our attention for sure, but there's a lot
Speaker 1: of other guys that can make us play. We're gonna
Speaker 1: to play a good total team game. We're gonna play
Speaker 1: total team defense. It's not just going to be about
Speaker 1: stopping one guy. There's a lot of other matchups that
Speaker 1: we need to win in this game. Meanwhile, on the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, the Eagles know that they
Speaker 1: will face a true test in Pittsburgh's defense. Today, we
Speaker 1: heard from wide receivers Nelson Agilor and Jordan Matthews on
Speaker 1: how they're preparing for that challenge. Eric, you know, very
Speaker 1: respective defense. Obviously great players on their team. They have
Speaker 1: good linebackers, they have great secondary obviously, you know, a
Speaker 1: very special football team. And what we're gonna do is
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out there, we're gonna play a hard
Speaker 1: football game. The thing that they do best they try
Speaker 1: and keep everything in front of them, you know, live zone.
Speaker 1: So they're gonna they're gonna force you to beat them
Speaker 1: with long drives. And you know NFL people love taking shots.
Speaker 1: You can take shots that demoralize the defense. Teams aren't
Speaker 1: gashing them, you know, for long games, and that's exactly
Speaker 1: what the defense wants. So it's on us to be
Speaker 1: consistent and send us to be able to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go down. We get like five yard hitches, slants,
Speaker 1: you're getting tackled, don't worry about it. That's what we need.
Speaker 1: We just gotta keep having drives like that. And finally,
Speaker 1: here today at the Novacare Complex was the Santon Their
Speaker 1: Media Field Goal Challenge, in which I came to tie
Speaker 1: for fifth place, making two of my kicks, Thank you
Speaker 1: very much. The winner for the second time in three
Speaker 1: years was Elliott twour Parks of ja dot Com, who
Speaker 1: got to make a donation of twenty five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: to the School of his choice for all of our
Speaker 1: locker room covered Trump today and all of the press
Speaker 1: conference sound from today as well. Stay right here on
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the official Eagles mobile app.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Alex. At two and o, the Eagles
Speaker 1: are defying many of what the experts predicted in this season.
Speaker 1: An expert is sitting right next to me, and the
Speaker 1: question I have for you, Glenn, does two and oh
Speaker 1: now change your perspective of this football team a little bit?
Speaker 1: And it's two and o in that you did it
Speaker 1: with the rookie quarterback. It's what you've accomplished, it's the number,
Speaker 1: and it's how you got there. Dave, there's a real
Speaker 1: good chance that the Eagles have played their two easiest
Speaker 1: opponents of the year. Let's not lie to ourselves, but
Speaker 1: they've looked good doing it. The offense is Jesus revelation,
Speaker 1: you know, and the defense can stop people. It's a
Speaker 1: tough match this week. They got a couple of tough
Speaker 1: ones in the middle of the schedule. But if you
Speaker 1: can go four and two in the division, you can
Speaker 1: win in Detroit. You can get a couple of these
Speaker 1: other wins. Divisions and their babies already penciling in the victories,
Speaker 1: talking about an NFC light pencil. Well, change things changers.
Speaker 1: Minnesota look great on Sunday night, and then they lose
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson in their left tackle as well. Now it's
Speaker 1: not so great. Things change, and that's why it's fun
Speaker 1: in the NFL. All right, fun coming your way on
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty when we return defensive end Brandon Graham
Speaker 1: a defensive end, then a linebacker, and now a defensive
Speaker 1: end who's playing really good football, he joins me in studio.
Speaker 1: You here to buy the tickets? Hey, buddy, you here
Speaker 1: for the tickets? Yeah, dude, what's the password? Man? What
Speaker 1: are you thinking? We're doing like a CD ticket deal
Speaker 1: instead of going to NFL t Exchange. NFL ticket exchange,
Speaker 1: verified authentic tickets from one fan to the other. We'll
Speaker 1: see it at the game. All right, yes, sir, all right,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. One discovery sparks another, lighting the way for
Speaker 1: amazing achievements. At Jefferson's Vicki and Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience,
Speaker 1: with our brightest minds focused on yours, we are pioneering
Speaker 1: new hope to prevent, treat, and cure brain and spine disorders.

Speaker 1: no minimum balance. You're all right, We're simply right checking
Speaker 1: from the sun time. They're back. We welcome you into
Speaker 1: the studio. Eagles insider Dave Spidero along with defensive end
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham proud. I'm proud of you, Brandon, because you've
Speaker 1: been a defensive end, You've been a linebacker. Now you're
Speaker 1: a defensive end again, and I wonder how it's all gone,
Speaker 1: how you've made the transitions back and forth and back again.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling myself, it's football, you know, and with anything,
Speaker 1: if you give me a year to prepare for it,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I can do it. And I
Speaker 1: was just happy to be able to show my worth
Speaker 1: as far as converting to an outside linebacker, because you know,
Speaker 1: I play a linebacker all the way up to college
Speaker 1: and then I'm gained a lot of weight and they
Speaker 1: moved me to defensive end. And my first time going
Speaker 1: back was actually when Chip came. So you feel more
Speaker 1: natural with your hand down or standing up, more natural
Speaker 1: hand down, you know, getting off that rock and you know,
Speaker 1: just trying to stay in the backfield as much as
Speaker 1: I can. And you know, for me this year, I've
Speaker 1: really been really watching everything I eat. I mean, man,
Speaker 1: I've been feeling good out there. I'm just I just
Speaker 1: want to be able to go hard all the time
Speaker 1: and no matter the situation. So tell me about your diet. Now,
Speaker 1: what if what if you eliminated from your diet? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't eat past six thirty, you know, nothing. I
Speaker 1: drink water, that's it. Like just drink fluids and stuff
Speaker 1: like that before I go to bed. And you know,
Speaker 1: if I want to have a sometimes I give like
Speaker 1: fruit and stuff like that. But nothing crazy, nothing that
Speaker 1: can make me fool to want to go to sleep
Speaker 1: and maybe want to go to sleep. And what has changed?
Speaker 1: Has it changed your body? Is it allows you to
Speaker 1: sleep better? It's it makes you feel more alert? What's
Speaker 1: you're done for you? I don't be as sore as
Speaker 1: I used to be. I feel like carrying that weight
Speaker 1: kind of puts I mean, you know, all the eggs
Speaker 1: and pains come from, you know, extra weight on your
Speaker 1: bones and joints and stuff like that. So for me,
Speaker 1: I think that helped me out a whole lot. Coming
Speaker 1: in on Tuesdays, I don't feel as bad as I used.
Speaker 1: Even after a Monday that game you felt okay, oh yeah, good,
Speaker 1: even that practice to that wow okay. So the key
Speaker 1: to getting off the ball is what just finding something
Speaker 1: to look at that and want it trigger you know
Speaker 1: you get off the ball. And that just comes with time.
Speaker 1: As far as you know, every day we work getoffs
Speaker 1: and work, and we're always looking at certain things of
Speaker 1: the ball that kind of give you signs. And then
Speaker 1: sometimes the man kind of jumps I don't know if
Speaker 1: you ever noticed, like JP and Lane sometimes jumping early.
Speaker 1: So sometimes if I know my opponent, I go off
Speaker 1: the man because I know they're gonna they trying to
Speaker 1: get off the ball just as fast as me. Brandon,
Speaker 1: I thought on Monday night against Chicago, first play of
Speaker 1: the game, you came crashing down the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: and made the stop on the running play, and I
Speaker 1: thought that really kind of set the tone for everything.
Speaker 1: You really like to be the one to go out
Speaker 1: and make things happen early, don't you. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: because I know I feed off the energy too when
Speaker 1: somebody else make a play. So I always challenge myself,
Speaker 1: why can't it be me? And I go out there
Speaker 1: and a lot of people is looking for me to
Speaker 1: make play. So I just want to go out there
Speaker 1: and deliver. Helped this team win. Team good team, right, Eagles? Yeah,
Speaker 1: real good. You're good about this team. I feel real
Speaker 1: good about this team. You know. I was, like I
Speaker 1: said before, I was happy, you know, not that Carson
Speaker 1: got the job because he just looked like a natural.
Speaker 1: He looks comfortable. He kind of, you know, already grasped
Speaker 1: the offense and stuff like that. And I knew this defense.
Speaker 1: I mean, once we started practicing and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: It's like we've been together for years and making cause.
Speaker 1: And I mean, this is a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: we've been missing in the back end, man, that I'm
Speaker 1: happy about because we always had the front seven, but
Speaker 1: we all just was kind of out of whack as
Speaker 1: far as communication. And I think we're good because we
Speaker 1: all want page. And so there's another really good football
Speaker 1: team coming to town on Sunday. The Pittsburgh. Is this
Speaker 1: the kind of game that you say, we're gonna find
Speaker 1: out just how good we are. Yeah, And I'm happy
Speaker 1: because we really do have to play good teams in
Speaker 1: order to get respect, and for us, this is a
Speaker 1: good challenge for us. And I'm gonna make sure that
Speaker 1: I do my part as far as prepare well and
Speaker 1: continue to keep doing what we've been doing. That's putting
Speaker 1: one day at a time and going out there and
Speaker 1: working hard in practice and everything I'm telling you in
Speaker 1: practice usually carry over to the game. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just happy that we got a team for the
Speaker 1: guys that just want to get better. And no, no,
Speaker 1: I guys, the key to being bringing Big Ben down
Speaker 1: six feet five, two hundred and fifty pounds. What do
Speaker 1: you do to bring him down? Because he's not that
Speaker 1: easy to mean, you bear hugged a guy like that
Speaker 1: and just had had a rest, blow the whistle, you know,
Speaker 1: if you get a hold of him. But I mean,
Speaker 1: in that moment, you feel like you play football and
Speaker 1: you're strong enough. But I've been there, and being is
Speaker 1: being as real good as shaking people off and keeping
Speaker 1: his eyes downfield. And one thing I will say, when
Speaker 1: you take that arm away. You know, as far as
Speaker 1: it's throwing arm, then you know that's when you got him.
Speaker 1: But it's it's rare because he's a big body. Go
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and eight. Steelers came to Lincoln
Speaker 1: Financial Field, Eagles sacked him. I think nine times. Dawkins
Speaker 1: comes flying in, makes the play. At the end of
Speaker 1: the game. Eagles win fifteen to six. Go watch the film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch that film. Brandy Graham. Thanks man, Brandy

Speaker 1: you back, Dave Spidero. Glenn mcnow. It's Eagles three sixty.
Speaker 1: We come your airway Monday through Friday. We've got a
Speaker 1: big one on Sunday four twenty five start. We've got
Speaker 1: coverage all through the day and in the evening and
Speaker 1: the night and everything. It's Eagles Steelers. It's a final
Speaker 1: game before before the it's the last game before the
Speaker 1: bye week. So we're really charged up here at the
Speaker 1: Novercare Complex. I'm very excited now see here, Glenn macnow,
Speaker 1: give us three bold predictions. Are we keeping track on
Speaker 1: the first two weeks? Yeah? I think I'm ten for
Speaker 1: ten absolutely well. The first one was season. So there's
Speaker 1: three bold predictions from Glenn macknow. The other two will
Speaker 1: come your way during our kickoff show on Sunday. Here
Speaker 1: you go. Number one two sacks Max. The Steelers do
Speaker 1: a lot of things very well on defense. But what
Speaker 1: they haven't done yet is get to the quarterback. Two games,
Speaker 1: one sack, no yards the Pittsburgh Steelers. Where's Kevin Green?
Speaker 1: Where's me and Joe Green? Where's Joey Porter? Who is
Speaker 1: a couch somewhere watching me? Yeah? Listen, Eagles line still
Speaker 1: have Lane Johnson for now. They're still They've done a
Speaker 1: relatively good job of protecting the quarterback. I think this
Speaker 1: week they will give up no more than two sacks
Speaker 1: the Steelers. That's a big deal. Okay, that's PlayN mcnell's
Speaker 1: number one prediction, number two, number two. I always like
Speaker 1: to give you a kind of the guy who'll get you.
Speaker 1: I don't like to go with the obvious one. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a guy who I know it.
Speaker 1: Before this season, he was very hot late round sleeper
Speaker 1: in fantasy football, and I think he may be that guy,
Speaker 1: and that is Sammy Coates. Yes, they have Ben Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: and D'Angelo Williams and Antonio Brown, but Sammy Coats, twenty
Speaker 1: three year old receiver second season, ninety two yards on
Speaker 1: two catches last week. He's averaging thirty eight and a
Speaker 1: half yards at catch. We know the Eagles are a
Speaker 1: little vulnerable to the deep past. We've seen that in
Speaker 1: the first few games. Sammy Coates is going to be
Speaker 1: the guy who's gonna hurt you. So in your theory, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm following us, because last week the Bengals double team
Speaker 1: to Antonio Browns, yes, leaving Sammy Coates open, and the
Speaker 1: Steelers made them pay. Do you see the Eagles double
Speaker 1: teaming Antonio Brown on Sunday? Of course? Okay, I mean,
Speaker 1: what can you do. Sammy Coates, who was the target
Speaker 1: of Landry Jones preseason pass that Nolan Carroll intercepted, took
Speaker 1: to the house. Right, that matters, nothing, That doesn't matter
Speaker 1: this week he's gonna be number three. You can get
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to help you. And here's how you can get
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to help you. Their defense. Listen, it's a very
Speaker 1: good defense. They stop the run and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: very difficult. But they get a lot of penalties to
Speaker 1: their defense. One hundred plus yards and penalties in the
Speaker 1: first two games already on their defense. Pass interference, they do,
Speaker 1: roughing the quarterback, they do, They're good at that one.
Speaker 1: They got they got an unsportsomenlike conduct in one of
Speaker 1: the games so far, a horse collar penalty already this year.
Speaker 1: Let them help you, because they will. Pittsburgh's defense will
Speaker 1: get at least fifty yards in penalties just on their
Speaker 1: defense sustain some Eagles drives. Yeah, bold prediction right there.
Speaker 1: That's a good bold prediction Eagles could use to help
Speaker 1: on third downs. They've been very good, obviously perfect on
Speaker 1: fourth downs. And that's a good one. Glenn. I like that.
Speaker 1: Let's get let's get the Steelers agitated next week or
Speaker 1: when I see you next, you can praise thee I will.
Speaker 1: Glenn Mack now three of his bold predictions. You can
Speaker 1: hear the other two on the Kickoff Show on Sunday
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and our official Eagles app. Okay,
Speaker 1: we've got some things to get to here. On Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty, a progress report on a seventh round draft
Speaker 1: pick who's making an impact with his Eagles defense. But
Speaker 1: when we return, we go behind enemy lines. It's time
Speaker 1: to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers from their perspective. You
Speaker 1: say crazy, I say crafted, You say savage. I say practiced, crazy, crafted,
Speaker 1: savage practiced. Let's run that whole day. Bet. You say unbelievable,
Speaker 1: I say achievable. You say incredible. I say inevitable. Unbelievable, achievable, incredible,
Speaker 1: inevitable day. Let's run that whole day, bet harps to
Speaker 1: compete elect you LIFs were plenties. You here to buy
Speaker 1: the tickets? Hey buy you here for the tickets? Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: what's the pathword? Man? Oh, you think we're doing like
Speaker 1: a CD ticket deal instead of going to NFL ticket exchange.
Speaker 1: NFL ticket exchangeified authentic tickets from one fan to the other.
Speaker 1: We'll see it at the games, all right, Yes, sir,

Speaker 1: Dave Spidero, Glenn mcnow with you. It's Eagles three sixty.
Speaker 1: Time now to throw it over to Chris McPherson, who
Speaker 1: is with Missy Matthews Steelers dot Com. It's Behind Enemy Lines.
Speaker 1: The Battle Pennsylvania takes place this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
Speaker 1: As a preview the matchup here on Behind Enemy Lines
Speaker 1: presented by Gatorade, where please be joined by Missy Matthews,
Speaker 1: reporter and host for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Missy, the Steelers
Speaker 1: have been without two of their key players on offense,
Speaker 1: and Levon Bell and Martavis Bryant, but the offense has
Speaker 1: been just as explosive, leading the Steelers to a two
Speaker 1: and oh start. Why has that been the case, Well,
Speaker 1: I think you start with the quarterback number seven, Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaker 1: Coach Tomlin has said it time and time again. As
Speaker 1: you can imagine our entire offseason, training camp, preseason, even
Speaker 1: in the regular season, we get a lot of questions
Speaker 1: about that, and if you have number seven, you always
Speaker 1: feel good about it. Not to mention some of the
Speaker 1: other playmakers that you have on offense. Antonio Brown sure
Speaker 1: didn't put up the numbers that were to seeing him
Speaker 1: do in Week two against the Cincinnati Bengals, but without
Speaker 1: lady On Bell, the Steelers, for the second year in
Speaker 1: a row, are relying on eleven year VET D'Angelo Williams.
Speaker 1: He is currently leading the league in rushing yards, oldest
Speaker 1: players in NFL history to rush for two hundred plush
Speaker 1: yards in the first two games. He's just been a
Speaker 1: complete workhorse. Staff really likes him, Ben likes him, and
Speaker 1: it's keeping the offense balanced. If babies, you know, getting
Speaker 1: double teamed and they're taking him out of the game,
Speaker 1: they can be very patient with the run game, and
Speaker 1: D'Angelo has proven for the second straight year he has
Speaker 1: what it takes to be a starting back. Missy. You
Speaker 1: mentioned Antonio brand and I'm sure he's going to be
Speaker 1: the focal point for Jim Schwartz and company this Sunday.
Speaker 1: Can you speak about Eli Rogers and Sammy Coates, the
Speaker 1: young receivers. Does Ben Roethlisberger have enough trust in those guys? You? Oh,
Speaker 1: most definitely. You saw it week one, especially with Eli Rogers.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who missed his entire rookie season.
Speaker 1: Not to mention he was undrafted, but Todd Haley Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger saw something in Eli, especially this offseason when he
Speaker 1: was healthy and ready to go. We saw that trust
Speaker 1: start to develop in training camp. He helped take away
Speaker 1: from a by which is good because sometimes you need
Speaker 1: to have that. And the same thing with Sammy Coats.
Speaker 1: He's had some ups and downs in the preseason. He
Speaker 1: had a few fumbles. Obviously. This last game against the Bengals,
Speaker 1: Ben kept trying to go deep to him. It didn't
Speaker 1: work a few times, but then there were a few
Speaker 1: times that it really worked. That's something. Being a second
Speaker 1: year wide receiver. Ben knows it, Sammy knows it. Sammy
Speaker 1: just needs to be more consistent. He needs to be
Speaker 1: more physical, He needs to fight for the ball. The
Speaker 1: other thing that we're watching in Pittsburgh this week is
Speaker 1: the status of wide receiver Marcus Wheaton. Last year against
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, they were completely able to take a
Speaker 1: b out of the game. Marcus Sweeton put up two
Speaker 1: hundred plush yards. He has not played in a preseason
Speaker 1: game yet. He has not played in a regular season game,
Speaker 1: but he was a full participant on Wednesday. He had
Speaker 1: some full practices last week, so they're hoping to maybe
Speaker 1: work him back into the offense at some point this
Speaker 1: week now. Missing I'm sure you've heard in Pittsburgh about
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and the job that he's done in his
Speaker 1: first two games in his NFL career, and there're been
Speaker 1: allowed comparisons between Wentz and Ben Roethlisberger there in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: How do you think the Steelers, defensively, led by second
Speaker 1: year coordinate Keith Butler, plan to try to confuse him,
Speaker 1: knowing the Steelers are going to be aggressive, and to
Speaker 1: try to get the rookie quarterback off course a little bit.
Speaker 1: When A Chance thirty talked to Keith Butler this week
Speaker 1: and he called Carson Wentz quote a very cool customer.
Speaker 1: He was very impressed with his performance the first two weeks,
Speaker 1: as was coach Tomlin. But I don't think this is
Speaker 1: going to be the situation where the Steelers defense is
Speaker 1: going to try to change what they've been able to
Speaker 1: build on in due these first two weeks. The defense
Speaker 1: was sort of a problem in twenty and fifteen. There
Speaker 1: were a lot of moving parts, a lot of injuries.
Speaker 1: Things just weren't meshing well under Keith Butler's first year.
Speaker 1: But this year there's more continuity. They've invested some high
Speaker 1: draft picks, and I think the Steelers are going to
Speaker 1: continue to build on the first two weeks. Of course,
Speaker 1: you have to plan for a rookie quarterback, do you
Speaker 1: want to blitz a lot to try to make him uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: But they've been having really good success in terms of
Speaker 1: their run defense and their red zone defense, so they
Speaker 1: need to focus on what has been working tweak it.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's going to be a week by week thing,
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're gonna straight too far away
Speaker 1: from what we've seen so far. Missy Matthews, reporter and
Speaker 1: host for the Pittsburgh Steelers, thank you very much for
Speaker 1: taking us behind enemy lines, presented by Gator right here
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks so much, Chris, thanks
Speaker 1: so much, Missy. And the Steelers doings. They are a
Speaker 1: formidable opponent. This is the litmus test, the real test.
Speaker 1: That's the first real test you have. Listen. Before the year,
Speaker 1: we make predictions, they mean what. They may not put
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the super Bowl, and nothing has happened
Speaker 1: that I would change that opinion. But you're home, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a good crowd and you've got some momentum,
Speaker 1: So maybe, just maybe, I just I think the Steelers
Speaker 1: are really good. I just a hundred villain. The wave
Speaker 1: is there left tackle? Hey, he's come on nicely. I
Speaker 1: know you remember when he was here, and he's kind
Speaker 1: of struggling and learning right on the other side of
Speaker 1: the ball. He's a real success story for them. Another
Speaker 1: success story is going to be the subject of our
Speaker 1: progress report when we return to Eagles three sixty. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get you caught up on everything happening between now
Speaker 1: and the game, and a progress report on Jalen Mills
Speaker 1: seventh round draft pick could be a starter on Sunday

Speaker 1: smooth blue body flavor. Discovered the craft of cool brow
Speaker 1: today and keep on America runs, un Duncan. Our final
Speaker 1: segment here on Eagles three sixty, Dave and Glenn. We're
Speaker 1: gonna throw it over now to Mike Quick and I
Speaker 1: grease a little progress report on Jalen Mills, who came
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, well not nowhere. LSU seventh rounds of
Speaker 1: the draft could be a real steal for this football team,
Speaker 1: all right, you progress report brings us to seventh round
Speaker 1: rookie draft pick Jalen Mills out of LSU saw his
Speaker 1: most extensive action Monday night versus the Chicago Bears. Some
Speaker 1: good and some bad, but certainly more positive. You know,
Speaker 1: when they go to their self packages, they go to
Speaker 1: nickel Dame, Jalen Mills drawn the field and you're gonna
Speaker 1: see a lot of him. They'll slide Brooks to the
Speaker 1: inside and he gets on the outside and gets a
Speaker 1: lot of the action on the outside. They had to
Speaker 1: know he would be tested all night. Quick throw out
Speaker 1: here to Eddie Royal and the one culture point I
Speaker 1: make here for the young guy. Just put the helmet
Speaker 1: on this side of the offensive player and Edite Royal
Speaker 1: stands right into that tackle. So a little bit of
Speaker 1: helmet placement and he makes that tackle well and realizing
Speaker 1: where your help's coming from. You'll see it on the
Speaker 1: very next play he does stay to the outside, force
Speaker 1: him a running back to the have to go inside
Speaker 1: where his health is you no doubt about check him
Speaker 1: out here. You gotta have a short term memory in
Speaker 1: this game, and as a corner in this League. You
Speaker 1: gotta know they're gonna run the ball at you to
Speaker 1: see if they're willing to come up and be physical.
Speaker 1: Nice job here from Jalen Mills. You just talked about leverage.
Speaker 1: You know where your health is coming from. Clearly you
Speaker 1: got all the green helmets on the inside. His job
Speaker 1: is to make sure nothing gets outside of him, stay inside.
Speaker 1: Force there running back in. Good job for he jamet
Speaker 1: the Mills there. You watch him in the passing game.
Speaker 1: He had his ups and his downs, like most rookies
Speaker 1: are gonna have. You watch him here. They want to
Speaker 1: take advantage of his aggressive nature. They threw a couple
Speaker 1: of these hitch routes and so he thinks this is
Speaker 1: what he's getting here. All the double move from au
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffer, Well, he showed us route earlier in the game,
Speaker 1: a little stutter goal, and he played it well. This
Speaker 1: time he wants to gamble. He wants to jump the
Speaker 1: stock route, and right away he knew this is when
Speaker 1: a cornerback grunt. As a wide receiver, you want to
Speaker 1: hear him grunt because you know you've got him right here.
Speaker 1: He bit the cheese and Jeffrey got behind him for
Speaker 1: a big play again. The thing that I like about
Speaker 1: him though, short term memory. Yeah, that's so and key
Speaker 1: when you're a cornerback in this league. They kept trying,
Speaker 1: they kept going at him. He had his fair share
Speaker 1: of pass break up. I like this play here. This
Speaker 1: is how you finish a play. Aushon Jeffrey obviously body placement,
Speaker 1: trying to award him off with his left hand. Now
Speaker 1: this is a catch, yes, just about. But because Jalen
Speaker 1: Mill finishes the play, he's able to get that hand
Speaker 1: in there at the last second in poke out. That
Speaker 1: is the most important phase of the player, right when
Speaker 1: that ball is about to reach the receiver's hand. And
Speaker 1: you're right, he finished the play. He stride for stride
Speaker 1: with him, but when that receiver reacts to the football,
Speaker 1: so does He gets the football out. Great way of
Speaker 1: closing on the football. Nice OUTI Jalen Mills has some downs,
Speaker 1: but I think his future it's very promising. Thanks so much, guys,
Speaker 1: and you know, Glenn, when you try to build a
Speaker 1: football team, you need to have success late in the draft.
Speaker 1: And so far, Jalen who's been fearless, he has had
Speaker 1: a short memory. He's made some mistakes. Encouraging signs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. He struggled early in the Chicago game,
Speaker 1: give up the deep reception, but he hung in. He improved,
Speaker 1: and he's a rookie cornerback and that's tough thing. He's
Speaker 1: a rookie cornerback who played a lot of safety in colleges.
Speaker 1: There's going to be a learning curve there. But I
Speaker 1: do like his upside and I think, you know you
Speaker 1: survived the next couple of weeks. I think he'll be
Speaker 1: a good player, all right. Jalen Mills somebody to watch
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Are Amrosso's on the menu?
Speaker 1: Look at what's ahead? Well, there he is, Jalen Mills
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith in crunch Time. Fun stuff, right. Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson meets the media for a final time on Friday,
Speaker 1: and we've got key matchups, Joe to Cameron, I here
Speaker 1: for Eagles three sixty. What's your key matchup? Key key
Speaker 1: matchup is going to I'll tell you a key matchup
Speaker 1: is going to be Jason Kelsey at center. With them
Speaker 1: rushing the middle of the line, which is what they
Speaker 1: like to do, You're gonna have to protect the quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I think you're gonna have to protect the quarterback
Speaker 1: from the inside out this week, and Dan two penalties
Speaker 1: on Kelsey last week. Marta pretty solid performance from the
Speaker 1: offensive line. Amoroso's the reason Philly sandwiches are so famous.
Speaker 1: All right, Glenn, last time I see you this week?
Speaker 1: How did the Eagles win this game? They win this
Speaker 1: game by continuing to be mistake free, which is one
Speaker 1: of the things they've done so far. They win this
Speaker 1: game by stopping Pittsburgh on third down, which Pittsburgh has
Speaker 1: been very good at this year. I think if the
Speaker 1: Eagles win the game, it's going to be have to
Speaker 1: be a bit of a shootout. I think Steelers are
Speaker 1: going to score points. They're they're good. They're gonna score
Speaker 1: somewhere in the twenties. If the Eagles cannot give up
Speaker 1: the ball, if the kid can play as well as
Speaker 1: he's played, they got a shot, all right, Glenn macknow
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Glenn macknow here. He'll be with us
Speaker 1: when we get back from the bye week after next week.
Speaker 1: It's amazing Week three bye anyway, Thanks Glenn. Thanks to
Speaker 1: you for joining us here on Eagles three sixty. Have
Speaker 1: yourselves a great Eagles day, everyone,
