Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It's Eagles three to sixty Eagles and Tyder
Speaker 1: Dave Spadaro along with Glenn mac. Now it's Thursday and
Speaker 1: the longest week of the season is nearly over. It
Speaker 1: seems like the Eagles haven't played it forever. But on
Speaker 1: Sunday they'll go to Detroit play the Lions, and Glenn
Speaker 1: and I love their chances. Tell me I love this match.
Speaker 1: See I want to I want to know how this
Speaker 1: team handles prosperity. Wow, aig, it is a big test,
Speaker 1: and there is always the possibility of a letdown game,
Speaker 1: and you could have the clunker. We've seen it before.
Speaker 1: But but if I'm just looking at this thing on
Speaker 1: paper and looking at it dispassionately and thinking that maybe
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, like Andy Reid, knows how to bring a
Speaker 1: team off a bye, right that was his mentor, then
Speaker 1: I think it's a great matchup. And here's the stat
Speaker 1: of all stats. The Lions opposing opposing quarterbacks against the
Speaker 1: Lions have a QB rating of one twenty days. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's all the same number. All four I've had passer
Speaker 1: ratings of over one hundred. The Lions struggling at one
Speaker 1: and three but they will be a desperate team on
Speaker 1: Sunday at Ford Field, and we've got all the action
Speaker 1: for you, of course, So I got a lot to
Speaker 1: get to in the show today, a little progress report
Speaker 1: on Jordan Hicks. Glenn's going to give some of his
Speaker 1: bold predictions, and we'll take a look at the Eagles
Speaker 1: some of their big games after bye weeks. But first
Speaker 1: things first. Busy Thursday, the coordinators meeting the media, and
Speaker 1: that means it's time for our Eagles three sixty update
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this
Speaker 1: is your three sixty update. The Eagles continue to get
Speaker 1: set for Sunday's matchup with the Lions in Detroit, which
Speaker 1: is a bit of a homecoming for Eagles defensive nator
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz, who spent five seasons as the Lions head coach.
Speaker 1: But at his press conference today, Schwartz said that this
Speaker 1: game isn't really anything personal as he returns to Detroit.
Speaker 1: It's give us a chance to go four and oh
Speaker 1: it's an NFC team, so yeah, it's personal that way.
Speaker 1: But as far as the Lions, you know, I think
Speaker 1: you guys will probably be surprised how much I root
Speaker 1: for the Lions, you know, as as long as it's
Speaker 1: not in direct conflict with the Eagles. I want those
Speaker 1: guys to win every week. I got I got too many,
Speaker 1: too much blood and sweat in that building. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of guys there to meet, an awful lot
Speaker 1: to me, you know, start with Stafford and Pettigrew and Levy.
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys were our first draft class. I
Speaker 1: want those guys to succeed. I don't want them to
Speaker 1: conceed this Sunday. I'm gonna do my very best to
Speaker 1: try to try to try to beat them. But I
Speaker 1: think everybody be surprised how much those guys have had
Speaker 1: my back when I coached there, and you know, I've
Speaker 1: had their back, and I'm sure that'll continue, not this Sunday. Though.
Speaker 1: The Lions passing attack is led by quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: Today we heard from Eagles linebacker Stephen Tullock and defensive
Speaker 1: tackle Fletcher Cox on how to slow down that Lion's offense.
Speaker 1: Injuries are kind of hard to overcome. You lose your
Speaker 1: starting running back, a mayor of duel, and you know,
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron's kind of banged up a little bit and
Speaker 1: you know, things are you know, it kind of throws
Speaker 1: you off. And I think he's doing a good job,
Speaker 1: but just trying to keep things together the best he can.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'll loiter respect for Stafford. You know,
Speaker 1: I think I've seen him over the years, I play
Speaker 1: with him over the years, and I know what he
Speaker 1: can do. You know out there. You know he can
Speaker 1: keep plays alive, you can throw deep, you know, all
Speaker 1: kind of routes. He's just a good quarterback. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think the way that they're blocking, I think they're
Speaker 1: blocking really well. I think you know they they they
Speaker 1: protecting a guy with the ball and they protecting nine
Speaker 1: back there. And you know, coach Wilson said there earlier
Speaker 1: in the week that and it's gonna be a challenge,
Speaker 1: you know, don't look at it as as get back
Speaker 1: or you know whatever. Just go in and and most
Speaker 1: important and most importantly word about us because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, as I've said, you know for
Speaker 1: three weeks, is not about the other team. It's about
Speaker 1: us in what we do. You can catch all of
Speaker 1: our locker rooms sound on demand right here on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot com, as well as all of our press
Speaker 1: conference coverage, including a joint press conference from the Jordans,
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks and Jordan Matthews. Again, all that available right
Speaker 1: here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the official Eagles
Speaker 1: mobile app. Thank you so much, Alex. In a moment,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to behind enemy lines and here from
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. But just an update for you. No
Speaker 1: ziggy onsa defensive end, no linebacker DeAndre Levy, and no
Speaker 1: tight end Eric ebro Ebron all of three, all three
Speaker 1: of those players, three of the very best. Detroit Lions
Speaker 1: not expected to play Glenn and we're trying to compile wins.
Speaker 1: We're trying to put some wins in the bank in
Speaker 1: the NFC East. How do you see this division shipping out?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how heays see this week chicking o
Speaker 1: days right there. The Eagles are gonna win this week.
Speaker 1: It may not happen. I think the Eagles are going
Speaker 1: into this week and the other three NFC East teams
Speaker 1: are gonna lose this week. The Cowboys play at home
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati. The comp is a bad at home. Cincinnati's
Speaker 1: a good tea team. The Redskins traveled to Baltimore, Baltimore
Speaker 1: coming off a loss. I think that's a tough spot
Speaker 1: for them. And the Giants go to Green Bay. Who's
Speaker 1: gonna put up thirty five points on the Giants. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a good week for the Eagles visa VI
Speaker 1: the NFC. So we should all be happy, happy, happy, Well,
Speaker 1: presumably we will be happy. I'm always happy we've got
Speaker 1: allowed to get through here on Eagles three sixty. When
Speaker 1: we return, we're gonna go behind enemy lines and find
Speaker 1: out more about the disappointing but dangerous Detroit Lions. You

Speaker 1: Dave SPANNERO glennmac now with you Eagles three sixty time
Speaker 1: now to learn a little bit more about the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions from their perspective. It's Behind Enemy Lines. Chris McPherson
Speaker 1: and Tory Petrie. Hello Eagles fans. I'm Chris McPherson and
Speaker 1: welcome to Behind Enemy Lines, presented by Gatorade. Here on
Speaker 1: Philadelphi Eagles dot com to preview this showdown between the
Speaker 1: Eagles and the Detroit Lines. Let's welcome and Tory Petrie,
Speaker 1: who covers the team for Detroit Lines dot Com. Tory,
Speaker 1: let's go back to that Thanksgiving matchups, which Eagles fans
Speaker 1: want to forget, obviously, but it's a much different lines
Speaker 1: team we're used to seeing. Calvin Johnson Megatron out there
Speaker 1: on the field catching passes from Matthew Stafford. How has
Speaker 1: the offense moved on with the all world receiver now
Speaker 1: no longer playing football, right? I mean, Calvin Johnson had
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in that game against the Eagles on Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: of last year. Obviously you don't have him to do
Speaker 1: that for you this season. But I think the strategy
Speaker 1: really is spreading the ball around more. That's really been
Speaker 1: Jim Bob Cooter and Matthew Stafford's approach to this. It's
Speaker 1: less of getting the ball to your one go to
Speaker 1: receiver and more of letting Stafford throw to the guy
Speaker 1: that's open and rely on him to make plays and
Speaker 1: get yards after the catch. I mean, Marvin Jones has
Speaker 1: shown that he has been an incredible threat down the sideline.
Speaker 1: You have Golden Tate who's shown he can be productive
Speaker 1: in the past. Eric Ebron is having a great year,
Speaker 1: and an Kuon Bolden has really been reliable in those
Speaker 1: situations where the lines really need to pick up a
Speaker 1: first down, so they have options. They are obviously a
Speaker 1: theoretic coming out of the backfield as well, so they
Speaker 1: really have talent where they can spread the ball all around.
Speaker 1: And have those reliable guys to catch the ball and
Speaker 1: make place Tory. You mentioned Theoretic gave the Eagles a
Speaker 1: lot of fits last season in the past game, but
Speaker 1: now with the Mirabdula is injury, he's the primary ball
Speaker 1: carrier the backfield. The run game of Detroit struggle a
Speaker 1: little bit. What can Jim Bob Cooter and the Detroit
Speaker 1: offense do to get the run game going right? I
Speaker 1: think it all comes down to blocking in that run game,
Speaker 1: whether that's the offensive line, tight ends, fullback, wide receivers
Speaker 1: down the field. That has been their issue. We saw
Speaker 1: some success in the run game in the first couple
Speaker 1: of games. Obviously, you have no more a mere Abdullah,
Speaker 1: so Theoretic, who's usually known for catching passes out of
Speaker 1: the backfield, You're going to rely on him to carry
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit more. So it's going to
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they adapt to that. We've
Speaker 1: seen Theoretic improve in that area. He had a rushing
Speaker 1: touchdown in Week one, so we know that he is
Speaker 1: capable of doing it. But really the run blocking has
Speaker 1: definitely got to improve to or. The lines fell to
Speaker 1: one to three with the loss last week to Chicago
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford had two interceptions in the loss, but overall
Speaker 1: has thrown the ball quite well this season. How is
Speaker 1: he dealing with the fact that, even though that he's
Speaker 1: thrown the ball well and performing, you know, on a
Speaker 1: pretty good level, the fact that he's not seeing the
Speaker 1: results with the victories and everything that comes along with it,
Speaker 1: all Right, I mean, he was pretty upset after that
Speaker 1: first interception in Chicago, and for good reason. It really
Speaker 1: wasn't his fault. Golden Tape admitted after the game that
Speaker 1: he just didn't get the signal, he ran the wrong route,
Speaker 1: So that was an understandable emotional moment for Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: But really, if you take away that Chicago game where
Speaker 1: the offense just really wasn't itself, He's been having a
Speaker 1: great season. He and Marvin Jones have been having incredible chemistry,
Speaker 1: so he really has to just rely on the guys
Speaker 1: that he has out there to make place. His receivers
Speaker 1: have had some issues with drops, but he's working with
Speaker 1: what he has, and Matthew Stafford's a pretty even keeled guy,
Speaker 1: so he's not getting down about it. Speaking even kill guys.
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, former number one overall pick here in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz has taken the league by storm. The number
Speaker 1: two overall pick in this year's draft has not turned
Speaker 1: up all over. So what will the lines do to
Speaker 1: try to give him off balance? I know that dikaiel
Speaker 1: Ansa has been sidelined with the high ankle sprain. He
Speaker 1: brings a lot of force off the edge. What do
Speaker 1: you see the lines trying to do to change the
Speaker 1: turnover battle there? For the lines? Yeah, the lines are
Speaker 1: in desperate need of a pass wretch. I would say
Speaker 1: that that is the biggest thing that they are missing
Speaker 1: on defense right now. They really need to get pressure
Speaker 1: on that quarterback, especially when you're going up against the
Speaker 1: guy that has zero interceptions. I mean, you have talented
Speaker 1: guys behind Ziggyonsa. Obviously, you have a great talent in
Speaker 1: Ziggions and when he's not on the field, you miss him.
Speaker 1: But Devin Taylor has proven himself to be a reliable guy.
Speaker 1: He had a safety in Week two, and a little
Speaker 1: lesser known guy, Carry Hyder has stepped up and had
Speaker 1: to sack in every game thus far. But they need
Speaker 1: more pressure on the quarterback and I think that's going
Speaker 1: to be a difference Niker in this game. If they're
Speaker 1: able to get that hid, there's five sacks for the season,
Speaker 1: second in the league only to Von Miller. Tory Petrie
Speaker 1: from Detroit Lions dot com, thank you very much for
Speaker 1: taking us behind enemy lines presented by Gatorade here on
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks so much, Chris, Thanks so much, Tory, Detroit.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Glenn, after a six and two
Speaker 1: finish in twenty fifteen, Jim Caldwell, head coach, on the
Speaker 1: hot seat. Yeah, really in a lot of trouble. He
Speaker 1: didn't get a lot to help them. I mean they
Speaker 1: did not have a good offseason, as you mentioned earlier.
Speaker 1: They've had a lot of injuries. Their offensive line is
Speaker 1: young and can't protect the quarterback. The defensive Johnson, no
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, that hurts you. Marvin Jones has been good.
Speaker 1: But this is a team that's in a lot of
Speaker 1: trouble right now. And when a team and down, Dave
Speaker 1: stomp on their neck. And that's why it makes me
Speaker 1: so nervous about Sunday, as all Eagles fans understand more
Speaker 1: to get too here when we return to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: Glenn macnow who's been on a role through three games.
Speaker 1: I'll say it is correct. He's got some more both predictions.
Speaker 1: When we returned to Eagles three sixty. Their legend is legendary.
Speaker 1: They've seen the end zone more often than any other
Speaker 1: duo in history. They are professional football player watchers. Become

Speaker 1: un Duncan. We are back at Eagles three sixty on
Speaker 1: this Thursday at the Overcare Complex. Dave and Glenn. I'm
Speaker 1: going to step aside. Glenn's turned to give us three
Speaker 1: of his five bold predictions. You can hear the other
Speaker 1: two on the Kickoff Show on Sunday, Glenn. But your
Speaker 1: feedback is always important. Absolutely, all right, here you go.
Speaker 1: Number one, Carson Wentz is going to top the three
Speaker 1: hundred and one yards he had against the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Speaker 1: and he may top it by a lot. So far
Speaker 1: this year, the Eagles have only allowed four sacks. Detroit
Speaker 1: cannot rush the passer. You have Zach Ertz back this week.
Speaker 1: Zi out for Detroit. I respect a lot a nana,
Speaker 1: but not particularly rushing the passer. As I said earlier,
Speaker 1: the QB ranking against the Lions is remarkably bad. It
Speaker 1: will be a big day for Wentz and the Eagles receivers.
Speaker 1: I think it will be a big day. But I
Speaker 1: think that the Eagles will run the football against the
Speaker 1: Lions defense that has allowed more than one hundred and
Speaker 1: fourteen rushing yards per game. So I look for balance,
Speaker 1: and unless the Eagles plan on racking up six hundred
Speaker 1: yards of offense, I don't think it gets the three
Speaker 1: oh one. But a good day, well, that's good. Have
Speaker 1: something to look back at next week. All right, Number two,
Speaker 1: it's time for Darren Sprawls to break a punt return,
Speaker 1: and the Lions, by the way, are allowing nineteen yards
Speaker 1: per punt return. They have a good punter. He goes distance,
Speaker 1: but you can return them on him. Darren Sprawls has
Speaker 1: had more than twenty returns of forty yards or more
Speaker 1: in his career. I think this week he makes it
Speaker 1: number twenty one. He's due. He still can break away.
Speaker 1: It'll happen this week. You really have done your homework,
Speaker 1: havin You got all these numbers. Yeah, I'll go with
Speaker 1: that one. You're not gonna get no argument here, all right?
Speaker 1: Thirty No flies here? There you go, all right? Number three.
Speaker 1: I always do try to balance and give you the
Speaker 1: guy on the other team who's gonna hurt you, and
Speaker 1: I've been pretty good on that so far. With the Eagles.
Speaker 1: It's actually not their prime guy. It's the Eddie Royals
Speaker 1: who get you. It's the Sammy Coats who get you.
Speaker 1: The Lions have done very well replacing well, you can't
Speaker 1: replace Calvin Johnson, but a guy who's had a good
Speaker 1: season for them is Marvin Jones, who's second in the
Speaker 1: league in receiving yards. He's not going to hit the guy.
Speaker 1: The guy who's going to be the guy is thirty
Speaker 1: six year old, and this big slot receiver who has
Speaker 1: hurt the Eagles before, he'll be the guy. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna shut him out. He'll be the guy for Detroit,
Speaker 1: and I would I would agree that he has a
Speaker 1: chance to only because he's big, can't really run anymore,
Speaker 1: and from the slot a few steps into the end zone.
Speaker 1: That's assuming Detroit gets to the red zone. Okay, shut out, No,
Speaker 1: that's bold, and I think I think Eagles defense is
Speaker 1: really gonna be primed to play this game. Glennmac Now
Speaker 1: those are his bold predictions again. Two more coming your
Speaker 1: way on the Eagles Kickoff Show on Sunday, which chairs
Speaker 1: at twelve thirty right here on Philadelphiagles dot Com and
Speaker 1: the official team app. More we get to here in
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. When we return, we're gonna hear a
Speaker 1: little bit about the post bye week success. Glen's got
Speaker 1: another list. We've had two weeks here since Eagles played.
Speaker 1: We gotta mister lest week is coming up with the
Speaker 1: best of the best Eagles bye weeks the games after
Speaker 1: they've been pretty impressive. And we'll hear from Glen On
Speaker 1: the other side. This portion of Eagles three sixty was

Speaker 1: we're back from the bye the Eagles on the practice field,
Speaker 1: everybody focusing on the Detroit Lions. Dave and Glenn. Here
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about some of the best Eagles performances
Speaker 1: following bye weeks. Glenn Stone his research, I have not,
Speaker 1: but I have a photographic memory. Yeah you do, actually,
Speaker 1: but I don't know anything else. Now you're you're pretty good, Okay,
Speaker 1: So here you go, and I'm gonna take from oldest
Speaker 1: to newest. And the first one is is pre It's
Speaker 1: the only in No. One that's not an Andy Reid
Speaker 1: one because Andy was remarkable after the buy and you
Speaker 1: hope that that carries over to Doug Peterson. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you a rich Coe type one nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: two when the Eagles win eleven and five. If you
Speaker 1: remember they started off the year three and oh I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys did two that go into the buy
Speaker 1: to come out to play the Cowboys at the Vet
Speaker 1: Football Yes, they crushed him thirty one to seven. I
Speaker 1: remember the sign a key Breaky Heart, because it's when
Speaker 1: that sign with Pop Killer and they broke Troy Aikman
Speaker 1: that day. It was a great game. Of course the
Speaker 1: Cowboys when this was called that here, the Eagles did
Speaker 1: not They didn't want a playoff game. Mc Cowboys won
Speaker 1: the Superwolf. Yeah I know, but the Eagles did win
Speaker 1: a playoff game in that year into Cotel. But the
Speaker 1: loss of Jerome Brown came back to haunt the Eagles
Speaker 1: defend all right, here you go number two, two thousand
Speaker 1: and one. Now, this is a memorable game, not necessarily
Speaker 1: a great performance, but the Eagles started out two and two.
Speaker 1: They get the early season by which seemed to happen
Speaker 1: a lot over the years. They come back and play
Speaker 1: the Giants and David was one of the most inept
Speaker 1: offensive performances I ever saw by the Eagles. They're losing
Speaker 1: nine to three, this terrible game for most of the game.
Speaker 1: With a minute and forty eight to go, Donovan McNabb
Speaker 1: finds who James trap you got it for a touchdown
Speaker 1: and they clinched the game when when Jeremiah Trotter sacks
Speaker 1: Carrie Collins, who fumbles. It wasn't pretty, but it was important.
Speaker 1: And it was a good win. Okay, all right. Number
Speaker 1: giants win the Super Bowl are two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: I don't know. They might have, ye, there may be
Speaker 1: a threeason. I think they went there and they lost
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Maybe, well here it might have been here
Speaker 1: this one I can promise you. The other team did
Speaker 1: not win the Super Bowl because it's against the Bills. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So we'll go to two thousand and three.
Speaker 1: Eagles lose the first two games of the season. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a big year. They lose to the Bucks,
Speaker 1: they lose to the Pats. What is going on here?
Speaker 1: They have the vibe. There's a lot of story that
Speaker 1: McNabb's got the bad thumb. You remember all that. They
Speaker 1: come back, they go to Buffalo to play the Bills.
Speaker 1: They beat them twenty three to thirteen, and as close
Speaker 1: as you can ever have to a must win game
Speaker 1: in September. They shut down Drew Bledsoe, the Bill's quarterback,
Speaker 1: and they win go on to have a fine season
Speaker 1: and championship. The airplane encountered turbulence on the flight to Buffalo.
Speaker 1: The cabin crashed. Everybody prayed. It was really scary, and
Speaker 1: this story after that was kind of a little divine intervention.
Speaker 1: Eagles turn the season around. There, you see that part?
Speaker 1: I never knew. Yeah. Then they go down to lose
Speaker 1: to Washington, and then Brian Westbrook returns to punty against
Speaker 1: Post after one. Those are never good. It's never a
Speaker 1: happy ending, just mine. They're always happy endings, all right.
Speaker 1: Two thousand and five, which was not a good year
Speaker 1: for the Eagles after the Super Bowl year, everybody remembers
Speaker 1: that it's the year that Mike McMahon ended the play quarterback.
Speaker 1: But this one was a good one because on this
Speaker 1: day after the bye, Donovan completes thirty five passes seven
Speaker 1: to t o ten to Westbrook. The Eagles are down
Speaker 1: to the Chargers seventeen to thirteen. Late in the game,
Speaker 1: Charges lining up for field goals pretty much going to
Speaker 1: Clints it, Quintin Michael blocks it, who returns it for
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Come on, Matt where I never Meryl Man
Speaker 1: but where but where he went crazy? Hey, that's I
Speaker 1: don't claim to do it. Okay, he's around here. We'll
Speaker 1: get him into do it. It's good. Yeah. Anyway, and
Speaker 1: they win that one twenty to seventeen, and it was
Speaker 1: it was we felt good that day about this season.
Speaker 1: Not so much after all right, Number one, I do, Dave,
Speaker 1: you can count. I'm proud of you. I didn't cut
Speaker 1: you off this time. All right. Twenty ten, this is
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's final year in the playoffs. They're four and
Speaker 1: three going into the break. But they got to play
Speaker 1: a tough Indianapolis team out of the break. And if
Speaker 1: you remember those days, I guess as opposed to now,
Speaker 1: Eagles had a difficult time beating AFC teams. Always seem
Speaker 1: to lose to those three to four AFC teams. But
Speaker 1: on this day they stop Peyton Manning. They're down seventeen
Speaker 1: to sixteen at the half, but they hang in. They
Speaker 1: intercept Manning twice. They shut down the Colts running game
Speaker 1: culturally had sixty two rushing yards that day. Big day
Speaker 1: for DeShawn Jackson, seven catches, two touchdown, one hundred nine yards,
Speaker 1: Michael Vicker quarterback. They win a very up and down
Speaker 1: season is they made the playoffs and that one was critical.
Speaker 1: And the defensive stars of that game is Sante Samuel,
Speaker 1: Trent Colante Samuel. That's right with the Colts. That's right
Speaker 1: there you have. So there's your top five games per
Speaker 1: Glenn mcnow following the bye week for the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: wonderful list, and we hope that Sunday is one of
Speaker 1: those games to add to the Panther. One more segment

Speaker 1: on Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero and Glenn mcnow time
Speaker 1: for our progress report with middle linebacker Jordan Hicks, Ike
Speaker 1: Reese and Mike Quick giving us the lowdown on a
Speaker 1: second year player with a big time responsibility. All right,
Speaker 1: you progressing for brings us to one of my favorites,
Speaker 1: number fifty eight. Jordan Hicks the quarterback of the defense
Speaker 1: this year because he wears fifty eight. Is that why
Speaker 1: he's one of your favorite of course fifty eight. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: his play should make him a favorite of everyone. Let's
Speaker 1: watch him here a couple of weeks ago Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1: Watch him in the passing game. What I like about
Speaker 1: Jordan smart player. He's playing the sticks, keeps everything in
Speaker 1: front of me. Ben's going to complete this pass, but
Speaker 1: you get a short tackler coming up to make it.
Speaker 1: You said he's a smart guy. He's an instinctive guy,
Speaker 1: and he's just reading the quarterback and that's what he does.
Speaker 1: He watches where the quarterback's gonna go with the football,
Speaker 1: and he's in perfect position to make the stop before
Speaker 1: the sticks. Here's the thing that I love about it.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna play like this. It's a nice screenplay
Speaker 1: set up here about the Steelers. Jordan keeps his shoulders square,
Speaker 1: he's basically reading the passing routes of the offense. And
Speaker 1: then I like the way he uses his leverage versus
Speaker 1: a screen. Screenplays break on defenses often because the defensive
Speaker 1: players don't use the proper leverage. Let's watch Jordan Hicks
Speaker 1: here versus a screen. He's gonna drop back in his coverage,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna play this thing inside out. He knows
Speaker 1: he has leverage on the outside right. Just watch how
Speaker 1: well he communicates. He recognizes right away. Watch that left
Speaker 1: hand goes up right there. He's recognizing. He's directing traffic
Speaker 1: and getting out in the floor of the screen and
Speaker 1: making a big stop. And the thing that I love
Speaker 1: about it, you rarely see a mistackle from this kid.
Speaker 1: He knows how to wrap up the ball carriers. And
Speaker 1: then you gotta love him. In the run game, it's
Speaker 1: all about proper fits. We're gonna get a puller here
Speaker 1: coming in this side, and it's all about leverage. Watch
Speaker 1: how he reads this gets down into his leverage. He's
Speaker 1: not being selfish here trying to make the tackle himself.
Speaker 1: He knows he has to be either forced his ball
Speaker 1: to the outside to this free tackler or to the
Speaker 1: backside to that free tackler. His leverage is in side.
Speaker 1: Great run fit here stuffed this run against the Angelo
Speaker 1: will listen. There's no wasted step. When he sees that
Speaker 1: off side guard pull, he steps up into the hole
Speaker 1: and he makes that play happen. The mark of any
Speaker 1: good defense starts with the play of the middle linebacker
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks filling the role of quarterback on defense. Very well,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, guys. I gotta tell you, I think
Speaker 1: it's interesting this whole linebacker picture because we see Stephen
Speaker 1: Tullock getting worked into the mix a little bit here.
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks when you look at him, not a big
Speaker 1: guy at all, two hundred and forty pounds, but he's
Speaker 1: really instinctive. It's very cerebral, and he's played excellent football.
Speaker 1: He's a very smart player for a young player. He
Speaker 1: picks it up really fast. Had such a good year
Speaker 1: last year. The injuries always a concern. If he can
Speaker 1: stay healthy, I think he's a real star. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: if the defensive line can keep him clean and occupy
Speaker 1: the offensive blockers, those big guards so they don't get
Speaker 1: up into his body, he's free to float to the
Speaker 1: ball and he's a good tackler and takes good angles.
Speaker 1: And Jordan Nick's playing well so far. Keep him healthy.
Speaker 1: That is key for this Eagles defense. Okay, So what's
Speaker 1: ahead for you for the Eagles as they get closer
Speaker 1: to Sunday's kickoff? Our Amrosso's on the menu. Look at
Speaker 1: what's ahead? Friday a key day in the NFL, key
Speaker 1: day for the Eagles. Doug Peterson meets the media, gives
Speaker 1: the final injury updates. We expect everyone to be healthy.
Speaker 1: Crunch time with cornerback Ron Brooks and Alex Smith, and
Speaker 1: finally we have our key matchups against the Lions. Joey
Speaker 1: Camera joining me in studio. Amorrosso's the reason, Philly fan,
Speaker 1: which is are so famous? Glenn? This is the question.
Speaker 1: It's about prosperity, it's about going on the road, It's
Speaker 1: about the next test. You look at Carson Wench, you
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a huge days, and so what
Speaker 1: does that mean? Can we stop exing off the challenges? No.
Speaker 1: I think what happens now is after this week, you
Speaker 1: really get the challenges. The schedule gets tougher. This is
Speaker 1: a road game. Four of the five are on the road.
Speaker 1: But you're you've got division games coming up. You got
Speaker 1: that stretch with Cincinnati, Seattle, Green Bay, Minnesota is coming up, right,
Speaker 1: that's a home game, but that's gonna be a tough one.
Speaker 1: So you bank these easier games. I can say it,
Speaker 1: I'm not playing and then you try to split the
Speaker 1: tough games. And then when you do that, Dave, you're
Speaker 1: eleven and five twelve and four. It's just win baby,
Speaker 1: thank you win. Yeah. For Glenn macdow, I'm Dave SPIDERO.
Speaker 1: We thank you for joining us in Eagles three sixty.
Speaker 1: I'm back tomorrow with Joe Di Cameron the Medtime Have
Speaker 1: Yourselves over, Great Eagles
