WEBVTT - Eagles 360: Episode 1 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:25.599 Hello, Eagles fans. The two seventeen Eagles season is here. 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.240 And you know why I know it's here because Eagles 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.120 three sixty is here to kick things off. Hello everyone, 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.320 I'm Dave Spandero. Eagles insider Glenn mcnow will be joining 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.040 me in just one moment as we get ready to 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.840 look at the Eagles and the Washington Redskins on Sunday. 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.280 Before we do that, we want to take a look 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.559 back at the preseason. A play that we loved from 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:51.080 the Eagles preseason came when Carson Wentz found Rookie maccollins 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.760 on a pass and catch and run that we still remember. 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.400 We're joined now by the Eagles game plan crew, Ike 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.520 Grease and head coach Doug Peters and breaking down that 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:06.200 big play at lambeau Field. Winch get a shotgun. I 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.399 have to get to about twenty five for a first downs. 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.680 Back there comes to run, he gets away, he fired, 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.360 he completes it. He has a first out of the 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.920 twenty across the tenn and want to get a touchdown 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.200 and back, all of them excited to welcome back to 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.280 Eagles game plan. Heagles head coach Doug Peterson, coach, I've 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.720 been I've been doing great. Thank you listen. It's been 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.440 a long offseason for US Eagle fans here right, yes 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.560 it has. But to open the week is finally here 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.119 and a lot of work going into the off season, 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.840 guys improving on their game. Everyone wants to know about 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.160 Carson Wentz first preseason game. Started to see some of 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.280 the things that I know he focused on this all season. Yeah, exactly, 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.360 And this is obviously a play that sort of exemplifies 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.880 that his movement into pocket. Now, you know, as you know, 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.120 we go into these preseason games and we don't game plan, 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.640 so we don't you know, these game plan stunts and 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.640 things like that, so we don't really study some of that. 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.840 But this is what Carson Wentz can do. And this 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.520 is an all Pro linebacker defensive end. He's a stud rusher. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.040 That's that's got Carson one on one dead rights, and 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.760 Carson does a great job of just avoiding that, staying 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.520 strong in the pocket. And the one thing I like 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.160 about Carson is he keeps his vision down the field 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.040 and then as you can see on the screen, here 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.360 comes Matt Collins in the route and what a great finish, 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.960 Just a nice little flip and catch right there. And 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.200 then this is what we saw from Matt Collin coming 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.720 out of North Carolina was his physicality, his size, his strength, 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.800 his determination to get in the end zone. Big physical 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.760 guy that you watch at the top of this route. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.359 How well he separates. These are the things we liked 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.200 about Mac and obviously Carson doing this in the pocket. 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.200 This was a big part of this game. Obviously a 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.959 touchdown that we needed at this particular time. Time now 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.080 to bring in Glenn macnoll on Eagles three sixty Glenn, Hell, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.000 are you sir happy? Welcome back to Eagles football pleasure, 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.080 big expectations, right, Oh yeah, I think you know things 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.720 go right, stay healthy, playoffs? You know this. You know 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.640 the fact about the NFC's right no repeat winner since 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.280 since the Eagles since when two thousand and three, two 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.799 thousand and four. Wow, well, there you go. Changing of 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:10.960 the tides here in the NFCS. It's wide open. Giants, Cowboys, Washington, 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.200 Philadelphia all think that they have a chance to win 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.360 in this division. We are, of course, starting the regular 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.480 season now after the four game preseason, so we like 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.639 to begin with Glenn mcnell's four takeaways or three takeaways 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.680 from the four preseason games. We love the takeaways, thank you, 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.639 and I love doing the takeaways. And the thing about 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.000 the preseason is there's not a whole lot to take 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.359 away because the guys you want to see didn't play 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.880 a lot. But here's my takeaways. I think that with 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.480 Ronald Darby, now they finally have that shutdown cornerback they've 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.280 been looking for since Asante Samuel left. They've gone through 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.400 a lot of people there, Dave, They've gone through you know, 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.720 They've tried a lot and hasn't worked out. I think 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.600 they got the guy. We know. They are in a 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.200 division that's got Odell Beckham, Junior Dez Bryant. Now you 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.200 have prior down in Washington. Darby is going to be 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.920 incredibly important and I think he's the right guy. Okay, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.720 And as far as free agent acquisitions here, Glenn, is 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.520 he the most impactful of the group that Eagles brought 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.839 up free agents and trade players? I count and maybe 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.000 I'm off by one or two. Eighteen new players on 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.880 the fifty three man roster to start the season. I 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.159 think he is the number one most impactful guy they 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.200 got the entire off season, and they got him late. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:24.360 And the big concern if you will, teams throwing it 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.839 over the top jump balls going against a smaller Ronald Darby. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.560 Watch for that on Sunday. Takeaway number two. All right, 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.280 takeaway number two. The running game, to me, Dave does 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:37.440 remain a big, big question, mostly because we didn't really 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.000 get to see it in the preseason. I think when 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.120 del Smallwood had four carries like Garrett Blown had maybe ten, 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.880 you got the bulk of carries by guys who are 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.760 never going to dress on Sunday. So we don't really 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.479 know what it's gonna be. Probably running back by committee. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.880 I'm eager to see small would get a lot more 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.000 carress this year. I'm eager to see Lee Garrett Blunt 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.880 getting on third and two or down the goal line. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.679 But to be honest, I don't know like Art Blount Blunt. Sorry, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.880 let's go with blunts. I I say it the way, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:10.640 it's the way. It's fine. We'll be seven years exactly. 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.440 It is very valid concerned Glenn. The running backs have 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.239 not shown it, and but I think that there's obviously 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.560 confidence internally because of the offensive line, their ability to 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.160 work to play to the strengths. But no question about it, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.360 Eagles have to run the football here takes some of 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.560 that pressure. Carson went six hundred and seven passes last year. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.440 Way too many don't want to see that. Do not 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.200 want to see that. All right, I am as much 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.680 as I'm up in the air about the running game. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.360 I am very confident, very confident in the wide receivers 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.680 this year, in the in the entire receiving corps. We 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.839 know that was the big priority coming off of what 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.240 they had last year, which was an inferior receiving cords. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.880 Now I am just dying, dying to see all Sean 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:54.800 Jeffrey in the regular season. I want to see Tory 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.000 Smith take the top off the defense. I want to 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.520 see if Nelson Aglar can make it in the slot 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.800 and stop me. If you've heard this before, it could 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.960 be a big year for zach ERTs. So when you 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.760 say big year for zach ert you mean impact from 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.200 the very beginning of the season, impact for the very 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.960 beginning of the season, and breaking the franchise record for receptions. 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:20.320 Because it's clear that Carson Wentz trusts him as the 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.560 safety valve, likes to find him there when he needs 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.839 to dump it off. Well, that's going to happen, and 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.240 I think he's gonna have it. I listen. We don't 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:29.880 want to see him throw six hundred and seven times, 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.000 absolutely not. But I think the receiving corps this year 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.760 is goes from inferior to one of the better ones 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.440 in the league. Okay, one of the better ones in 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.240 the league. One of the better ones in the league. Okay, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.800 top ten. It's a bold statement from Glenn mcnow, you 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.600 got to go bold from old to go home. From 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.000 Zach Ertz, I want to see more touchdowns, more impact, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:51.320 thirteen and four years, more impact than Resoll, Glenn Macknell, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.240 good stuff your preseason takeaways. We've got more to get 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.200 to here on Eagles three sixty when we return head 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:02.200 coach Doug Peterson in studio, maybe answering some of Glenn's questions. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.239 This portion of Eagles three sixty was presented by Rothman 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.640 Atte Jefferson.

Is weekly one on one presented 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.840 by Wah Wah, and we are finally here, Doug. It's 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.000 the start of the regular season, and I kind of 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.840 get ready. I'm going to ask you, hey, how important 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.079 is the wind week number one? How it sets the 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.520 tone for the season. That's not the case. Is it 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.600 really is a week by week proposition. It is a 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.080 week by week, but you know what, you want to 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.200 get out to a fast start, and and this this 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.839 is probably more so than a normal week because it's 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.920 a division opponent, we're on the road. Um, you know, 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.360 it's the Red Skins, where where we didn't fare so 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.400 well last year against them twice, and and and the 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:04.839 other thing is we didn't do so well on the 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:06.719 road as well. So there's a lot of things that 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.880 we've got to focus on and uh, but at the 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.720 same time, you know, it's it's a week by week mentality, 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.559 and we got to get ready for practice and then 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.360 go go play on the weekend. So the fans have 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.200 not seen the starters on the field for a couple 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.920 of weeks. Here. What has been happening to get them 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.480 ready for Sunday, Well, the biggest thing is we want 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:24.800 to make sure or I want to make sure that 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.880 they're they're physically ready to go. Um and and they're 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.079 they're getting all the reps obviously in practice. Now, we're 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.840 we're detailing a game plan, We're we're fine tuning in 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.599 the game plan, we're being you know, personnel specific in 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.319 a few areas, and and just getting these guys kind 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.040 of getting their seat legs back. They've had a couple 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.760 of days of rest now over the over the holiday weekend, 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.320 and just getting them back into practice. Mode and and 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.920 and focus solely on on the Redskins. Doug, do you 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.600 feel like you have a good sense of what the 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.640 offense can accomplish? I do. I do. I've got a 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.160 really good feel for for what we but what we 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.280 hope to do, what we would like to do. Um, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.520 obviously at it's it's uh, you know, it's predicated a 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.360 little bit on health. Then you know the ball security 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.200 thing and things we talk about all the time. But um, 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.520 I'm excited to watch our guys compete in battle and 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.200 and it really starts up front each week. It's no different, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.959 you know, both sides of the ball offensively and defensively 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.640 with the line of scrimmage and if we can we 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.520 can sustain that. It gives us an opportunity to do 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.240 a lot of things in the run and pass game. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.720 Just having al Sean and Tory give you more options 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.440 than than you had last year. Maybe that you couldn't 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.360 call up that play because you didn't have that personnel. Correct, Yeah, 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.800 it does, it does. And then you throw in you know, 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:36.600 you throw in Zach Ertz, and you throw in Trey 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.880 Burton and Brent Sellick and then some of the runners 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.920 that we have with when Dale now coming back healthy 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.120 and Lea Garrett and you know, of course we know 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.280 no Sprowls is what he what he's gonna do, But 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.480 it just takes a little more pressure off with Carson. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.360 And and uh, anytime, anytime you can do that off 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.720 of your young quarterback and and sort of you know, 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.400 steer the ship in that direction. Um, I'm excited to 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.160 watch these guys play and watch them, watch them compete, 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.760 and and uh, um it's been a great week so 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.800 far and we're we're just excited for Sunday. The difference 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.240 between Carson at the end of twenty sixteen and right now, 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.000 I think he's just rejuvenated. He's fresh, he's ready to go. 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.600 You know, last year he had played a ton of 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.640 football up to this point. Um, he wasn't even sure 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.199 going into Week one if he was going to be 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.520 the starter, and boom low and behold he was, and 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.200 so he had to he had to switch gears real fast. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.800 But um, he's excited. You know, he's he's energized. He's 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.600 in a great spot mentally and physically. Um, he's looking 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.360 really good and sharp in practice and and hopefully we 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.720 carried into into these regular season games. Let's talk about 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:39.040 the Washington Redskins. A lot of changes for them defensively though. 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.080 They really seem strong up front. That front seven tough. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.640 That's that's the strength of this defense obviously. And then 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.000 you know Norman in the back end, you know, he's 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.400 a he's a good corner and and uh, you know, swearing, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.160 and they got some guys that are back to have 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.600 played a lot of football, and um, it's a good 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.840 defense and um, you know it's one that gave us 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.599 fits last year. And obviously we got to play a 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.760 lot better. Um again going down there. We didn't play 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.480 so well last year down there. But this is a 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.839 group that they don't do a lot. They're they're aggressive. Um, 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.400 they come after the passer a little bit. They like 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.480 to like to rush five guys and play a lot 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.080 of man coverage. So our works cut out for us 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.040 work Excited to go down there and play jug What 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.000 about the Washington offense. I mean Kirk Cousins against the 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.480 Eagles twelve touchdowns, three interceptions of four and one record 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.400 in five starts. He has proven himself to be a 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.160 very quality NFL starter, no question about it. And uh, 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.559 you know he's played extremely well against us obviously, and 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.240 he knows how to lead that football team, and you know, 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.240 he's a smart quarterback, and uh, you know, he's not 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.000 gonna hurt that team. He's not gonna put that team 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.480 in any kind of harms way by maybe a um, 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.560 you know, making a mistake somewhere, and he just leads 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.679 that leads that team down the field. And he did 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.199 lose some weapons on offense, but it seems like what 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.840 they've done through preseason, they've been fined. Vernon Davis is 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.280 still obviously a weapon for him and Read and some 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.400 of the guys on offense, and then in that run game, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.079 that run game can be powerful and and uh, again 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.240 it's a situation where where we've got to come ready 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.600 to play again. We didn't play very well down there 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.120 last year, and so our guys are guys are eager 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:09.800 and ready ready to get out there when it starts 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.840 on Sunday. Doug, what will you be like year number two? 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.080 Is the head coach? Listen, you never you never lose 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.199 that butterfly feeling. Um, you're always you're always excited about 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.480 these games. Um, you know, I'm excited to watch our 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.240 guys play. And obviously, my job is is to make 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.000 sure mentally and physically we're ready to go, and um, 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.240 you know, have a great week of practice and and 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.679 uh you know, I'll be I'll be anxious, I'll be ready. Um. 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.960 Like I said, these guys haven't played together for quite 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.120 some time, for for a substantial amount of amount of plays. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.840 But um, they're ready to go. And I'll be excited 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.080 for him. Went on the road. That's really went on 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.000 the road, and in the NFC East a great way 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.400 to start the season. It's a great way to start 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.320 the season. And that's got to be our focus this week. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.600 Thank Peterson, thanks so much for joining us.

Acme the official supermarket of the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.000 Welcome back to Eagles three sixty Dave SPIDERO Glenn mcnell. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.680 Time now to go back in Eagle's history just a 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:21.240 little bit, not too far with our Santandre legend of 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.000 the game. It is Brian Westbrook, Eagles running back member 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.000 of the Eagles Hall of Fame. Brian joining us here Brian, 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.640 how are you today? I'm doing well, Guys, how are 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.360 you doing great? We've got some questions for you Eagles 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.280 Redskins on Sunday, Glenn, why don't you begin? Brian went 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.480 early in your career, you were part of a running 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.320 back by committee under Andy Reid. It now looks maybe 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.920 that's what they're gonna have this year. Garrett Blunt comes in, 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.560 when Delle Smallwood comes back, they still have Darren sproles. 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.800 How do you see it being apportioned. I think they 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:56.000 want to get when Delle Smallwood involved very early in 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.240 the game. I think it's going to be you know, 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.840 he'll get between ten and fifteen and carries the game 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:05.639 because he has a lot of them, definitely physical qualities 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.320 that you runt in this type of offense. He's quick 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.800 to the whole, he has pretty good vision, he has 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.520 decent speed. I think that he can be a back 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.840 out of the backfield that can catch the football just 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.520 a bid there. And those are things that as he 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.920 continues to mature as a player, he'll get continue to 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.919 get better at. And you know, to add to that, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.640 you fill in Blunt as well, and he's a guy 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.840 that you can use as a power back. You can 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:30.800 use them on first and second down to run the 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.040 football downhill. I think that he'll just Duck would just 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.960 try to get a lot of guys involved. He'll throw 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.200 Darren's frozen there as well. He'll try to keep the 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:43.000 defense off balance and not allow them to understand exactly 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.960 what's going to come at them during the course of 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.560 a game. And if he can do that successfully, I 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.879 think this running back by committee can be very helpful 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.960 to this team. It is challenging though running backs want 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.440 the rock. They say that the more you get the rock, 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.600 the more in rhythm you become. You've been part of 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.879 a running back by committee, what are the challenges for Smallwood? 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.840 Four blunt, four sprowles Where you're right, David, it's all 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.560 about getting your rhythm. I think Garren Sproles will be 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.439 okay because throughout his career he's been more of a 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.720 situational type of back, a guy that comes in the 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.440 third down, a guy that's not going to get touched 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.360 the ball twenty twenty five times a game, So he'll 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.120 be okay. I think small would being a younger guy 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:29.240 similar to myself in that situation where he wasn't a 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.800 starter when he first came in as a rookie, he 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.439 didn't get all the carries last year. He definitely played 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.960 a little bit more towards the end of the season 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.040 last year, but I think he'll get used to his 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.879 role just because he hasn't been every down back in 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.320 the NFL thus far. And I think the guy that's 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.440 probably going to need the most adjustment is la Garrett Blunt. 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.679 He's a guy that is used to getting fifteen to 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.000 twenty carries a game, that's going to carry the low 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.879 beat in the game throughout throughout the fourth quarters, and he, 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.639 because of the side he tires, beat is down and 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.960 so it's going to take some getting adjusted, getting used 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.040 to the system, getting used to sharing the low of 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.840 a couple other backs for him. But over time, I 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.480 think that if all these guys can show them the 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.080 different things that they can do, this will help this 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.480 football team continue to be healthy going into week twitter, 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.920 Week thirteen, where when it becomes moneyball when you're trying 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.639 to make a playoff push. Ryan Westbrook Eagles open at 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.160 Washington Always a great rivalry. You played in a lot 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.080 of those games. I want to take you back to 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:32.840 one and ask you your Memories two thousand and seven, 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.800 middle of the season. Eagles are down twenty five to twenty. 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.520 Washington scores with four minutes fifteen seconds to go, takes 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.439 a twenty five to twenty lead. You remember what happened 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:47.040 after that vaguely? I think we called a screen past there. 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.359 Me and Donovan connected on the screen past, and I 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.800 had an awful lot of mockers home front. I had. 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.760 You know, the one great thing that Andy Reid Alreadys did, 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:59.359 if I'm remembering the correct game, is Andy had athletic 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.720 offensive and that got involved out and leading the way 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.240 in the screen game, John running. I think at that point, 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.600 Nick Cole, I had a bunch of guys that were 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.760 just out there in front of me that led the way, 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.560 and I made a couple of people missing. We ended 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.520 up scoring there, and I think we got the ball 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.840 back rather quickly. We ended up scoring another touchdown before 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.160 the end of the game. There was a fifty seven 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.000 yard touchdown passed with three minutes ago. Then Washington fumbles 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.320 their quarterback funnels at their own ten yard line. You 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.400 get the ball running in. It was a great come 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.840 from behind, winning one of our favorites of the rivalry. 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.240 Anytime that we can beat a division rival in their 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.359 own house. And it felt even better for me because 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.680 I'm from the Washington, DC area, So for me, it 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.840 was a homecoming of a sort and it was great 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:48.399 to always stick a touchdown in down there in Washington. Brian, 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.800 what is the key? Last question here? The key for 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:55.240 the Eagles in this game. They haven't won in Washington 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.919 since twenty thirteen. The Redskins have five straight wins in 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.840 the series. Tough matchup for the Eagles. What do they 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.119 have to do to win this game? Well, just because 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.840 the starters didn't play an awful lot in the preseason 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.280 for the Eagles, I think it's important that they all 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:16.760 be disciplined, meaning discipline as far as penalty wise, and 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.240 the offense not jumping offside, not doing anything that's going 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:25.159 to move them backwards, especially ruining momentum and drive. As 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.240 far as the defensive side of the ball, not doing 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:31.240
