Speaker 1: We welcome you to Eagles three sixty days for their
Speaker 1: one Mike Quick. As the Eagles get ready for the
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins and Mike, there is of course a lot
Speaker 1: of talk about how this season has turned upside down.
Speaker 1: If you had to identify quickly three areas where it's
Speaker 1: really are three reasons why it's changed from three and
Speaker 1: on and out five and seven, what would you say,
Speaker 1: do I have to exclude Lane Johnson? Well, I think
Speaker 1: it's starting, fact, Dave, I think it starts with the
Speaker 1: offensive line, because I think early in the season, when
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was playing his best football, he was comfortable,
Speaker 1: he was protected, and he had that security that the
Speaker 1: offensive line they're gonna hold up. They're gonna give him
Speaker 1: the time I'm dead he needs. I think you would
Speaker 1: start at the offensive line. Didn't have to look at
Speaker 1: the skilled position players and what they've contributed are not
Speaker 1: and then the defense. When this team started out and
Speaker 1: everyone was so high on this team, the defensive front,
Speaker 1: they were dominant. They were one of the best in
Speaker 1: the league and creating havoc, getting to the quarterback, knocking
Speaker 1: people around at the line of scrimmage, winning at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and those three things, in my mind
Speaker 1: the big reason why this thing has turned in the
Speaker 1: wrong direction. Eagles hoping to turn it back in the
Speaker 1: right direction in these final four games, starting Sunday against
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. Doug Peterson and a slew of players
Speaker 1: meeting the media on this Wednesday, We've got your three
Speaker 1: sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith
Speaker 1: here with your three sixty update. The Eagles back at
Speaker 1: practice today as they begin the work week for Sunday's
Speaker 1: matchup against the Washington Redskins, the first of three division
Speaker 1: home games here in the final four game stretched for
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and after the disappointing loss in Cincinnati last week,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are ready to come out with more energy
Speaker 1: playing in front of the home crowd on Sunday. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look in the mirror. Art of the mirror. First,
Speaker 1: you gotta, um, I think you gotta always evaluate yourself
Speaker 1: in those situations. See if you're giving um that effort
Speaker 1: each and every play, each and every game, and that's
Speaker 1: all you can focus on is getting better individually given
Speaker 1: for finishing each and every play. UM, I think guys
Speaker 1: are gonna respond really well to it, you know, doing
Speaker 1: the extra things, um, you know needed to just get
Speaker 1: us to you know that next step. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: we're just searching for for you know, for anything right
Speaker 1: now to kind of give us a spark and an edge,
Speaker 1: um team to you know, get out this slump. So
Speaker 1: I mean, we just gotta go out there and play
Speaker 1: and give everything we've got on every single play. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that it gets it's getting late in the year.
Speaker 1: I think it's easy, you know sometimes to just let
Speaker 1: up a little bit on a play, but you know,
Speaker 1: we're in the NFL and you can't let that stuff go.
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, I think I
Speaker 1: think this team cares. I think this team cares a
Speaker 1: lot um, but we just got to do more. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: today we also heard from head coach Doug Peterson, who
Speaker 1: spoke about how in the last matchup with Washington, the
Speaker 1: team fell behind early, did fight back, but ultimately went
Speaker 1: on to lose that game. This time, coach Peterson looking
Speaker 1: for a different outcome on Sunday afternoon. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a tough place to play. Obviously, felt like we had
Speaker 1: opportunities in the game. We didn't capitalize on a few
Speaker 1: things in the football game fell behind again. Defense we had,
Speaker 1: you know, Malcolm had to pick six and kind of
Speaker 1: kept us right in there. Special teams had a big play,
Speaker 1: you know. So those are those are things that kind
Speaker 1: of kept us in that football game. I know, offensively
Speaker 1: we have to we have to do a little bit
Speaker 1: better executing our game plan. Just understanding it's great to
Speaker 1: now finally have a home game here with them and
Speaker 1: a great opportunity against against a good football team that's
Speaker 1: that's playing extremely well. And last but not least, we'll
Speaker 1: end things with an injury update. Some good news for
Speaker 1: the Eagles as it looks as if running back Ryan
Speaker 1: Matthews and wide receiver Jordan Matthews will both be back
Speaker 1: in the lineup on Sunday, as both players were at
Speaker 1: practice here today. Meanwhile, wide receiver Doryl Greenbeckham still sitting
Speaker 1: out from practice and we'll have to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on him during the week to see if he's ready
Speaker 1: to go on Sunday. With your three sixty update, I'm
Speaker 1: Alex Smith. Thanks so much, Alex. We've got a lot
Speaker 1: to get you on Eagles three sixty. In just a bit,
Speaker 1: we'll hear from Mike quick about the Washington Redskins. Tough
Speaker 1: loss for them last week in Arizona. But when we return,
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Frank Reich in studio talking about an offense
Speaker 1: that has really struggled since that early season's success. What
Speaker 1: is going on with the offense we'll find out next.
Speaker 1: Their legend is legendary. They've seen the end zone more
Speaker 1: often than any other duo in history. They are professional
Speaker 1: football player. Watches become a pro fan only with Xfinity

Speaker 1: Duncan trying to talk some offense here. Offensive coordinator Frank
Speaker 1: Reich joins me in studio and Frank, we know what
Speaker 1: the numbers say, and it's been a tough little run
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphi Eagles offensively. What have you seen good
Speaker 1: and not so good? Well? I think you know, I
Speaker 1: think the good is for instance, in the last game,
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to say there's much good,
Speaker 1: but we drove back sixty times, which is crazy. But
Speaker 1: have one sack. That's positive. We've been better in the
Speaker 1: red zone and better on third down the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. That pot that's positive. But here's what's not positive.
Speaker 1: We got to play more consistent football. We gotta we gotta,
Speaker 1: we gotta get some more big chunk plays, and we
Speaker 1: gotta find ways to be more productive and put more
Speaker 1: points up on the board. Let's kind to go group
Speaker 1: by group. Your wife receivers. Paul Turner gets his chance
Speaker 1: to play here, had a nice game six catches on
Speaker 1: Sunday in Cincinnati. Nelson was consistent, and he was physical
Speaker 1: and he was focused. DGB has come on the last
Speaker 1: few weeks. What are you seeing from that group as
Speaker 1: we head into the final four games of his regular season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think DGB is continuing to make more
Speaker 1: and more of an impact. That's a good thing. He's
Speaker 1: playing with more confidence and and more swagger. That's that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. He's a big man. I mean, even
Speaker 1: that play got hurt this last week. You know, Berfect
Speaker 1: gets a clean shot on him and perfect and almost
Speaker 1: as hurt as he is. That just goes to show
Speaker 1: you how physical of a guy DGB is. So that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. Nelson came back and played well, you
Speaker 1: know he really he had those two key fourth down catches.
Speaker 1: They were tough catches, good plays. I was happy for him.
Speaker 1: That's the way you got to approach it. Just build
Speaker 1: the confidence back one play at a time, you know,
Speaker 1: one reception at a time. He did a nice job.
Speaker 1: And then like you said, Paul Turner came in and
Speaker 1: you know, made the first career reception there, you know,
Speaker 1: caught that naked bootleg there. Carson made a good play,
Speaker 1: took it for a big game. But that's what we
Speaker 1: were expecting out of him. Tight end Zechers has really
Speaker 1: come on in the last month or so. That must
Speaker 1: be really a good feeling for you. And what a
Speaker 1: target in the red zone all of a sudden catching
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Yeah, Zach, you know, I mean, we all
Speaker 1: know it is just a matter of time. I think
Speaker 1: we all know it was a matter of time. And
Speaker 1: then he got banged up there for a few games
Speaker 1: early in the year, but it seemed to be hit.
Speaker 1: He and Carson seemed to be hitting their stride as
Speaker 1: far as chemistry, understanding some things on routes, and you
Speaker 1: know that's real positive. All right. So let's talk about
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Now, first four games, the same starting five,
Speaker 1: the offense is humming lane, Johnson goes out and since
Speaker 1: then there have been four different starting combinations in the
Speaker 1: eight games. How difficult is that to overcome? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's difficult. It takes as tall. But I've been
Speaker 1: in some places where you know, this has happened before.
Speaker 1: But I have to say where I have more confidence,
Speaker 1: Like when we're losing these guys and when we have
Speaker 1: to shift things around, I don't find myself, oh we're
Speaker 1: in trouble. I mean I really feel confident in the guys.
Speaker 1: I feel stout in Eugene and doing a good job
Speaker 1: of getting those guys ready that they're they're good players.
Speaker 1: I mean it does take a little bit of a toll.
Speaker 1: I think where it showed up a little bit is
Speaker 1: in the run game. You know, you know, having the
Speaker 1: consistency in the run game, a lot of those combination blocks. Um.
Speaker 1: I think the past protection and the communication on blitz
Speaker 1: stuff has been pretty good. Um as was the case
Speaker 1: this past weekend. So, but naturally, you want all your
Speaker 1: you want all your bullets in your belt. The quarterback, Carson,
Speaker 1: the Project, the franchise, twelve games into his career. We all,
Speaker 1: you know, we all, everybody wants him to be perfect.
Speaker 1: I know that's not going to happen. What are you seeing,
Speaker 1: Frank in the way he's developed. I mean, I'm just
Speaker 1: glad we got him, That's all I can tell you.
Speaker 1: I Mean, this guy is a winner in every way
Speaker 1: as a player, as a leader, He understands the position.
Speaker 1: He has the mental toughness to fight through the ups
Speaker 1: and downs that it takes. UM so very excited about him,
Speaker 1: and you know there's been ups and downs, but this
Speaker 1: is a guy that you can build a franchise around.
Speaker 1: He's throwing the ball well, you know, still completing sixty
Speaker 1: three percent of his passes, which is a pretty good number.
Speaker 1: But you're never happy, you know, and we're never happy
Speaker 1: as coaches. So we just keep pushing them to get
Speaker 1: better and he will. What do you want from this
Speaker 1: offense the last four weeks the regular season? You know,
Speaker 1: it's funny you get here to the beginning of a week,
Speaker 1: you know, after the twelfth game, and I was just
Speaker 1: talking to Carson about this before I came down here
Speaker 1: with you. Where you come into week thirteen or your
Speaker 1: thirteenth game, and you wish you could say at the
Speaker 1: beginning of year, you wish you could help. We could
Speaker 1: all understand that when you get to this point, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether your record is twelve and oz Orzo
Speaker 1: and twelve. I walk in today with the same mindset,
Speaker 1: the same goal. I'm going to prepare to win and
Speaker 1: then we're going to play to win. And so you
Speaker 1: can't allow the circumstances the to dictate the approach that
Speaker 1: you take. So I expect us to come in like professionals,
Speaker 1: with a lot of passion and juice and take it
Speaker 1: one week at a time. It's really not until the
Speaker 1: end of the season that you go back and evaluate
Speaker 1: fully comprehensively everything, is it. Yeah, I mean you're doing
Speaker 1: a little chunks along the way. You know, you're reevaluating things,
Speaker 1: but afterwards you certainly do a much more thorough evaluation.
Speaker 1: As an Eagles fact, I think the big story is
Speaker 1: that Eagles fans just want to know that Carson's making
Speaker 1: the right kind of progress, even though there are some
Speaker 1: hurdles along the way. I mean, when you look at
Speaker 1: last week, you know he's making incredible progress. I've never
Speaker 1: been more confident that we got the right guy. Last week.
Speaker 1: We throw a sixty times one sack. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of credit to the offensive line, but that's a lot
Speaker 1: of credit to Carson. Did a couple of nice things
Speaker 1: on Blitz. Pick up, understands, protections, understands. Coverage is very
Speaker 1: seldom do we come off the field and say, oh,
Speaker 1: you got fooled on that one. It doesn't happen to him.
Speaker 1: He sees it, he understands it. We're going the right direction.
Speaker 1: How do you get better at not having passed his
Speaker 1: knockdown to the line of scrimmage? And I know Cincinnati's
Speaker 1: really long and yeah, it's all yeah, that's just to
Speaker 1: feel thing now. And and Cincinnati take their an outlier.
Speaker 1: I mean they're not. We played him. It was real.
Speaker 1: But they got four guys who are in the top
Speaker 1: ten of batting balls down. This is what they do.
Speaker 1: But that's why they only got one sack in sixty
Speaker 1: past tens because they are not rushing the passer. They
Speaker 1: stand there. They time if they do a good job.
Speaker 1: Carson's release point is up here. It's it's high enough.
Speaker 1: He's six five. It's just final lane and throw it something.
Speaker 1: You know that team is very good at it. Give
Speaker 1: him credit. Um, but I think over time that's not
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. Frank, thanks thanks for joining us.

Speaker 1: four games remaining in the regular season, starting Sunday against
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. So let's take a look at the
Speaker 1: Eagles upcoming schedule, presented by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster.
Speaker 1: For the only one verified way to buy or sell
Speaker 1: NFL tickets, visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Mike, what
Speaker 1: happens as we look at the schedule here in the
Speaker 1: final month of the season. What is it like to
Speaker 1: have gone through twelve games the preseason. Your body is exhausted.
Speaker 1: And remember the Eagles had a bye week after Game three,
Speaker 1: so it's been a long time since they've had a break.
Speaker 1: It's a long season. They'll get a mini break after
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game. But you're worn at this point
Speaker 1: in the season. Through twelve games and through the four
Speaker 1: preseason games, you're really worn down. And it's really when
Speaker 1: you have to take better care of your body. Supposedly
Speaker 1: you're doing that throughout the season, but now you really
Speaker 1: have to get your rest. You have to eat properly,
Speaker 1: you have to do all the recovery things after practices,
Speaker 1: after games to make sure that you can get back
Speaker 1: to whatever your peak performance level is. At this point,
Speaker 1: you really want to try and get there, maximize what
Speaker 1: you have left in the tank. With the four games
Speaker 1: left in the season, let's take a look at the Redskins.
Speaker 1: In our first look at this Washington team, coming off
Speaker 1: a tough loss in Arizona, they beat the Eagles in
Speaker 1: game number five of the regular season twenty twenty Mike,
Speaker 1: a game that just didn't feel that close well, because
Speaker 1: we saw the vulnerability in the Eagles run defense. Because
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins, their offensive line coupled with Kelly the
Speaker 1: young running back undrafted, he's been outstanding offensive line. They're solid,
Speaker 1: They're going to have the same guys up front, and
Speaker 1: they really can run the football down there, and which
Speaker 1: was a problem for the Eagles in the first matchup.
Speaker 1: All right, let's begin though at quarterback. Kirk Cousins playing
Speaker 1: on a franchise tag, is playing like a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 1: Would you believe that, Mike? Do you think that he
Speaker 1: is a long term solution in Washington? I think because
Speaker 1: he has a real good supporting cast. He's got two
Speaker 1: great tight end weapons. He's got good receivers on the outside,
Speaker 1: and Garson Sean Jackson and Jamison Crowder second year out
Speaker 1: of Duke an outstanding a young wide receiver, kick returner.
Speaker 1: They get him in these matchups where he's got a
Speaker 1: two way go or he's working the slot, he is
Speaker 1: a problem to the fen And you know, Vernon Davis
Speaker 1: is great on the outside, So I think he's got
Speaker 1: a lot of weapons. And then he's had a solid
Speaker 1: offensive line, same five guys for most of the season.
Speaker 1: They're getting back their left tackle now, so they're solid upfront.
Speaker 1: I think it makes it a lot easier for Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousin that he knows who he has every single game
Speaker 1: at running back. We mentioned Robert Kelly in Washington. We're
Speaker 1: spotlighting Darren sproles here with the Eagles, but the challenge
Speaker 1: for Philadel Matthew. Mike has been running the ball consistently.
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews on track to get back on the field.
Speaker 1: Why has this run game really peeled off as the
Speaker 1: season's kind of gone along. It starts up front, Dave.
Speaker 1: It starts in winning the line of scrimmage, and that's
Speaker 1: where the Eagles are having their problems in their run game.
Speaker 1: They have to be able to win the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: regardless if it's Wendell's Smallwood, if it's Matthews. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if Darren sprous all of these guys, they're ineffective
Speaker 1: if you cannot win the line of scrimmage the bigs.
Speaker 1: It's all about the big guys. We like to see
Speaker 1: the flash of the skilled position guys, but it's really
Speaker 1: about the trenches and the big guys winning in the trenches.
Speaker 1: For the Eagles. At wide receiver, Jordan Matthews expected to
Speaker 1: play now. Last week, Mike, I need your opinion. Nelson
Speaker 1: agil Or has some catches, Paul Turner had six receptions.
Speaker 1: Dorial Greenbeckham before he was injured, played pretty well. Did
Speaker 1: you see growth in that group? Well, just to see
Speaker 1: Nelson agil Are play well hold onto the football, that
Speaker 1: to me is growth in itself. There's a number one
Speaker 1: draft pick out of USC. You really want him to
Speaker 1: come along. You really want to see him start to
Speaker 1: become the player that you wanted when you're draft at
Speaker 1: Nelson Agila. If that happens, then the other guys, just
Speaker 1: the guys that are fill in, the support guys, I
Speaker 1: think they'll be okay. But you need a leading man
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position other than Jordan Matthews and
Speaker 1: that has to emerge and hopefully at some point that
Speaker 1: can be Nelson Agilars. Paul Turner. What's his ceiling Mike?
Speaker 1: What do you see in him? I think Paul Turner's solid,
Speaker 1: a solid backup, a solid guy that can come in
Speaker 1: and move the chains. He's gonna catch the ball and
Speaker 1: what some of the route concepts that the Eagles have,
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to get Paul Turner open against
Speaker 1: a good man to man cover guy, He's gonna struggle,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have his problems. But Paul Turner is a
Speaker 1: very serviceable receiver. He's gonna catch the football and that's key.
Speaker 1: So that is the Eagles wide receiver. Look, we talked
Speaker 1: about Jamison Crowder already at tight end. Washington loaded, Jordan
Speaker 1: Reids still a question mark to play in this game.
Speaker 1: If not, they go with Vernon Davis, who really hurt
Speaker 1: the Eagles in landover Maryland, and the Eagles getting some
Speaker 1: production here from Zach Ertz two touchdowns in the red zone.
Speaker 1: Of Lates Mike, we've been waiting for Zach to be
Speaker 1: a star wide star tight end. Well, you know, he
Speaker 1: had his biggest game against the Redskins. He had fifteen catches,
Speaker 1: the set a record against the Washington Redskins. But that
Speaker 1: to me is an area where the Eagles can attack
Speaker 1: the Redskins in the passing game against the tight end, well,
Speaker 1: using the tight end against the linebackers in the safeties.
Speaker 1: I think that's where they have to go with the football.
Speaker 1: So that's Zach Ertz, that's Brent Sellick, that's Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: work in the middle, of the field or between the numbers,
Speaker 1: that's the area if you go to the outside, that's
Speaker 1: where the Redskins are their strongest. Their cornerbacks are very good.
Speaker 1: So the Eagles have to attack in the passing game
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, all right, and quick look
Speaker 1: at the defenses again, we're focusing on the Eagles numbers.
Speaker 1: They look good. As Jim Schwartz said on Tuesday, though,
Speaker 1: Eagles have really been in a slump these last three
Speaker 1: games after playing by and large, other than the Washington game,
Speaker 1: pretty well in the previous nine games. What has happened
Speaker 1: to the Eagles on that side of the ball. Well,
Speaker 1: it gets back to the trenches, because think about the
Speaker 1: first four games when the defense they were playing so well.
Speaker 1: It's because they're able to get up field. They're able
Speaker 1: to be disruptive, and it took a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: off the back end. So the guys in the secondary
Speaker 1: they didn't have so many throws at them, they didn't
Speaker 1: have to contend with so many passes because upfront they
Speaker 1: were so good. And they're just not getting that now.
Speaker 1: When you get when you get the double teams on
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox and the tributines on Fletcher Cox, well, other
Speaker 1: guys are one on one. They've got to win those
Speaker 1: one on one battles to make this defense effective. Again,
Speaker 1: maybe the most unusual part of the defensive season. We
Speaker 1: thought Vinnie Curry going from a three four to a
Speaker 1: four to three his numbers would explode. It hasn't happened.
Speaker 1: Is Vinnie just better ultimately in a three to four
Speaker 1: on the outside. I don't know the answer to that,
Speaker 1: but I know that we haven't gotten the production that
Speaker 1: we expected to get from Benny or any of these
Speaker 1: guys in the rush, even Connor Borrowing on the outside.
Speaker 1: These guys are getting some one on ones from time
Speaker 1: to time. They have to be able to win those
Speaker 1: one on one. In the inside, you're getting Fletcher Cock's
Speaker 1: lineup and a three technique he and Benny Logan. Many
Speaker 1: times those guys are going to get the double teams
Speaker 1: and sometimes they'll win, but most often you're gonna have
Speaker 1: two three hundred pound guys that are going to be
Speaker 1: able to hold him off. The guys that are getting
Speaker 1: to one on ones have to win in one on
Speaker 1: one now. Trent Williams back for the Redskins on Sunday
Speaker 1: after his four game suspension. Washington will be very strong
Speaker 1: on Sunday at the line of scrimmage. That is our
Speaker 1: first look at the Washington Redskins. When we return to

Speaker 1: point in the third quarter, this kick return did set
Speaker 1: up the Eagles first score of the game. Barner and
Speaker 1: Wendell Smallwood have split time as the Eagles number one
Speaker 1: returner this year, but it was Barner doing most of
Speaker 1: the damage on Sunday. His biggest play of the day
Speaker 1: and perhaps the most exciting play from any Eagle on
Speaker 1: the afternoon, came on his sixty one yard return with
Speaker 1: about four minutes to go in the third quarter. Barner
Speaker 1: sprints a total of ninety two point seven five yards
Speaker 1: on the play before finally being pushed out of bounds
Speaker 1: by Mike Nugent. He also reaches a max speed of
Speaker 1: twenty one point zero three miles per hour, his second
Speaker 1: fastest effort of the twenty sixteen season. Next up, let's
Speaker 1: take a look at the Eagles defense, and while they
Speaker 1: were in a whole early and Sunday's game, in the
Speaker 1: second half, they were able to turn things around and
Speaker 1: force two turnovers to try to swing the momentum back
Speaker 1: in the Eagle's favor. Benny Logan forced to fumble on
Speaker 1: the very first play of the fourth quarter, and after
Speaker 1: generating a strong pass rush on Andy Dalton, Benny is
Speaker 1: also able to pivot and track down Rex Burkhead to
Speaker 1: pop the ball free. Logan reaches a max speed of
Speaker 1: twelve point two seven miles per hour on the play,
Speaker 1: which is pretty impressive for a two hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: pound lineman and covers twenty two point eight nine yards.
Speaker 1: In fact, Logan wasn't the only defensive lineman who stood out,
Speaker 1: as Brandon Graham also covered over seventeen yards and reached
Speaker 1: a MAC speed of fifteen point one four miles per
Speaker 1: hour on a tackle for loss in the second quarter.
Speaker 1: Later in the fourth quarter, though, it's Nigel Bradham who
Speaker 1: hustles fifty one total yards on the play, reaching a
Speaker 1: MAC speed of nearly seventeen miles per hour. And the
Speaker 1: Eagles may have been down late, but the defense gave
Speaker 1: their best effort to get the Eagles back in position
Speaker 1: down the stretch and finally will end on a positive
Speaker 1: note from the offensive side of the ball and say
Speaker 1: congratulations to wide receiver Paul Turner who made his first
Speaker 1: career NFL reception on Sunday and made his first career
Speaker 1: start well worth the way. After battling his way from
Speaker 1: the practice squad to the active roster, Paul Turner got
Speaker 1: his chance to shine on Sunday and he made the
Speaker 1: most of his first career NFL grab. Carson went scrambled
Speaker 1: to his right and found Turner racing across the field
Speaker 1: and after making the grab, Turner turned on the Jets
Speaker 1: and darted for a forty one yard game. All told,
Speaker 1: on the play, Turner covered sixty three point two yards,
Speaker 1: hitting a MAC speed of nineteen point three nine miles
Speaker 1: per hour. The Louisiana Tech product finished the day with
Speaker 1: six catches for eighty yards, averaging over thirteen yards per catch.
Speaker 1: All right, well, that will wrap things up for this
Speaker 1: week's edition of Stats Only, but we will see you

Speaker 1: You know, Mike numbers, numbers, numbers? What do they mean?
Speaker 1: When you were drafted? You ran a four six forty numbers? Lie?
Speaker 1: Come on, we just said if stat's only segment, you
Speaker 1: can't say that numbers? Lie? Why I didn't run a
Speaker 1: four to six? Whatever? What'd you run? I ran four
Speaker 1: five nine? How fast you play though? I ran? I
Speaker 1: ran four to four eight? I ran four to five two?
Speaker 1: Why did already say you were slow? Then? That's slow?
Speaker 1: Is it? Wide receiver? You want a wide receiver that
Speaker 1: runs four to four every day? Uphilled four four? That's
Speaker 1: what you really want to play faster than you ran
Speaker 1: in the combine. I played scared so no one could
Speaker 1: catch me, because when I got the ball in my hands,
Speaker 1: I was scared, so I was faster. That's the way
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do it. We've got one segment to
Speaker 1: go here on Eagles three sixty. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1: Eagles Live podcast. I'm very proud of it that will
Speaker 1: go live tomorrow night. Amirosso's the reason Philly sand which
Speaker 1: is are so famous. Mike m you wonder about the
Speaker 1: Eagles going into the situation at Lincoln Financial Field, totally
Speaker 1: different feel after these three losses Seattle and then home
Speaker 1: against Green Bay at Cincinnati. What do they need to
Speaker 1: do to turn it around? Well, get the crowd into it.
Speaker 1: I think it's if you can at Lincoln Financial Field
Speaker 1: get this home crowd into the game early. I think
Speaker 1: it really helps this team, and certainly the crowd's just
Speaker 1: looking for something good, something positive that they can get behind.
Speaker 1: We talk about establishing the run. They really have to
Speaker 1: try and establish the run to take some of the
Speaker 1: weight off of the young quarterback. Having him to throw
Speaker 1: too many times, it's just not the right way to
Speaker 1: win and then and not the right way to develop
Speaker 1: this young quarterback. I want to see how the defense
Speaker 1: adjusts against Washington after that flat out embarrassing games two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty rushing yards allowed in that game at
Speaker 1: Landover maryl Like. It seems like they would just want
Speaker 1: to do something to show that they're not the team
Speaker 1: that we saw in that first matchup that allowed the
Speaker 1: Ridskins to just run the ball down their throat, or
Speaker 1: the team that we saw last week and Cincinnator that team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my quick day, Spadaro, thanks for joining us here on
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. I'm back tomorrow with Glenn mcnell. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, have yourselves are great eagles.
