Wow wow 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:12.160 wow wow. Sunday night a classic in the Eagles Cowboys rivalry, 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.160 the Eagles winning in overtime. Of course, Hello everyone, welcome 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.800 to Eagles three sixty. Eagles insider Dave Spidero with the 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.560 Hall of Fame and Brian Westbrook. Now you've played in 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:25.119 your Cowboys Eagles games. That one last night was remarkable. Yeah, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.840 we agree, bring back into memories. You know what, It 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.519 doesn't bring back any immediate memories. But when I see 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.160 Jordan Matthews catch that ball in his hands and run 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.760 down the sideline and be able to score the testdown, 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.960 I'm just so happy for this football team. But it's exciting. 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.880 It kind of reminds me of the kneel that I 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.120 had kneeled down that I had back in the day. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.919 That kind of reminds me of Donovan McNabb running around 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.680 for fifteen seconds throwing the ball to Freddie Mitchell. I 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.760 love when this team wins. They did a good job yesterday. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.040 When you kneel down by the way I did. A 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.000 lot of fantasy football people get on their case. They 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.280 still they still, dude, get in my case every time 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.680 I'm talking about fantasy football. They're always talking about, why 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.359 did you do that? You either won me my championship 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.320 or you're long. Well, the Eagles didn't win a championship 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.640 on Sunday, but they get to the halfway point in 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.000 this twenty and fifteen regular season after all the ups 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.400 and downs, now at four and four, really in control 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.519 of their own fates, an opportunity with two games of 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.760 Lincoln Financial Field to make some hey against Miami on 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.160 Sunday and then against Tampa Bay the following week, but 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.960 Sunday nights to focus here. It was an incredible game. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.560 After a very slow start, the Eagles come marching back, 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.800 and then the offense in the second half absolutely up 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.280 and down the field, doing exactly what it wanted to do. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.720 And it all started Brian in the second quarter. After 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.400 a slow first fifteen ins, Eagles get the football at 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.280 the twenty yard line. They march eighty yards, sixty three 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.480 of those yards on the ground. It was just so 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.600 good to see the run game get cranked up finally 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.280 in Chip Kelly stand From the beginning of the season, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.680 this run game was going to help this team at 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.520 win games. If we don't have this run game, we're 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.160 not gonna win very many games. And yesterday was a 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.240 great example of how to use DeMarco Murray, Darns brows 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.119 as well as Ryan Matthews and allowed this offensive line 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.680 to settith pads, get on the edge, run up the middle, 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.960 and do a good job blocking. They did a great job. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.800 So it was the offense. Jordan Hicks leading the defensive 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.520 charge with an interception return for a touchdown. Caleb Sturgis 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.560 with two field goals, including a fifty three yard or 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.480 late in the fourth quarter, a thriller in Big d 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.440 Well actually Arlington, Texas. And so the Eagles celebrating on 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.080 Sunday night into the wee hours of Monday morning, and 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.800 now turning their attention to the Miami Dolphins. Let's get 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.800 you caught up with everything happening here at the Novacare 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.200 Complex on this Monday. It's our Eagles three sixty update. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.360 We throw it out to Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.960 Alex Smith and This is your three sixty update. The 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.039 big news today here at the no Ovcare Complex is 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.400 unfortunate news, as rookie inside linebacker Jordan Hicks has been 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.120 placed on season ending injured reserve due to a torn 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.960 pectoral muscle suffered last night in the win against the 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.000 Dallas Cowboys. For all the latest on Hicks's injury situation, 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.719 be sure to stay tuned right here on Philadelphia Eagles 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.040 dot com now. Earlier in the afternoon, we heard from 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:08.919 Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, who s book about the 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.440 progress that he's seen from quarterback Sam Bradford. I think 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.720 everything in Sam's game has gotten better. And as I've 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.560 said before, I've seen Sam improve on a weekly basis here. 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.680 So we're in game eight. You know, he's better in 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.080 Game eight than he was in Game one. You know, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.200 I think he's more comfortable in terms of what we're doing, 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.559 you know, in terms of where we are as an offense. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:27.919 With a lot of these guys. It's kind of like 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.279 there is a movie being shown and he showed up 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.159 halfway through it, and then he's supposed to figure out 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:33.440 what's going on and what did I miss in the 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.360 first half of the movie. Because he hadn't been with 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.279 us for you know, the amount of time that Brent's 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.200 been here and some of the other guys, Kelsey and 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.800 all his other guys. So it's just it's something you 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.640 have to get through reps. It's not something that can 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.479 be forced. He works extremely hard at he's in this 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.560 building all the time, he's watching filmy study and he's 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.120 working at it. But you know, we've seen constant improvement 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.240 out of Sam and you know, and I hope he continues, 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:55.919 you know, if he can continue to play, continue to 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.200 play even better as we move forward. Kelly also spoke 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.920 today about how hard this Eagles team practice this week, 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.320 highlighting the performance of wide receiver Jordan Matthews. Well, I 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.240 think all of them, I think, and this has been 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.200 our best week of training since I've been here. To 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.080 be honest with you, I think the whole group practice well, 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.960 but I think Jordan in particular, I think, you know, 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.719 the one thing is that if you're in a slump, 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.800 it takes someone with a great work ethic to get 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.919 out of the slump. And that's what Jordan has and 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.039 he worked. He worked extremely hard, did a lot of work. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.599 Actually after our reps on offense. We're done mimicking Dez 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.000 Bryant for our defense, you know, and did a really 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.080 good job at that too. So it's just, you know, 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:41.200 the kids tireless in terms of his ability to work 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.159 and what he can do. And it's, uh, you know, 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:44.840 a show and that's what we talk about. You sink 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.240 to a level of training, and he trained it a 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.520 really high level last week and played a really high 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.440 level last night. And that will wrap things up here 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.440 from the Novacare Complex. Be sure to stay tuned to 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.160 Philadelphia Eagles dot com all week long as we get 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.679 you said for the Eagles and Dolphins.

Hi. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.200 My name is Jim Taylor. I've been with back me 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.720 for thirty four years.

No 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.200 one beats our fresh fish. We have a precious apple, 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.760 the Christie's Lettuce Fresh produces what we do.

We are the Cherry and White. The 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.400 city is our classroom and we lead the rush hour, 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.640 making our mark on every field around the world. The 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:53.199 world without Temple quilth that's like the sky without the 0:08:53.240 --> 0:09:02.960 North Star Temple, never stopping. Welcome back to our Exfinity 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.760 studio here at the Overcare Complex, our first time here 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.840 in these beautiful, beautiful digs making us look good. Well, 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.280 he always looks good. I just you can't make a 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.880 Picasso out of a piece of claio. So right, let's 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.959 talk about the offense. Another slow start, So let's address 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.720 that part of it first. Is there any way that 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.240 you come out and think mentally that it's the second 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.559 half at the beginning of the game, Yeah, I thought 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.360 that it would be able to they would be able 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.960 to start a little bit fast at this game, But 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.120 it's starting to feel like it takes a little bit 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.240 for Chip Kelly as well as this offense, just to 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.600 get their bearings, to understand what a defense is doing 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.120 and then they start attacking it. They figured it out 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.600 after the first quarter. After the second quarter, coming out 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.400 a half time, this offensive team exploded. I think that's 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.880 what's going on here. They have to find a way 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.040 to start a little bit faster, especially against a better 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.959 team with an offensive line missing Jason Peters. Dennis Kelly 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.760 starting at right tackle for the first time since twenty 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.000 and twelve, Lane Johnson, his first NFL started left tackle. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.840 The Eagles running the football down the Dallas Cowboys throats, 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:08.480 Ryan Matthews, DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproles, all used liberally, all 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:13.040 used effectively, and Brian westbro that key's the offense. Play 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.800 action passing really getting some chunkyards for the offense. The 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.240 run game, I want to see it every week. Well, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.440 if you want to be successful in the run game, 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.360 it starts in the trenches and so it starts upfront 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.840 with the offensive line. And you can't give enough credit 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.840 to Lane Johnson switching from right tackle to left tackle. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.920 That's a big ordeal. Not a lot of guys can 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.480 do it, and it takes an athletic guy. Lane Johnson 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.520 did a great job against one of the better pass 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.120 rushers in the league. And Greg Hardy Dennis Kelly deserves 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.200 from credit too. You're talking about a guy that wasn't 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.200 the second string guy. He was a third string guy 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.040 that didn't get a lot of playing time. This is 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.800 the first time starting at right tackle against a defensive 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.679 line that dominated this football team in Week two. They 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.600 didn't do a very good job blocking. They had so 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.560 much penetration in Week two, but yesterday they were able 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.560 to establish the run game. I was proud of this 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.320 offensive unit. So the zone have a lot of success. 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.679 We also saw the sweep game with DeMarco Murray as well. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.760 We all talk at DeMarco Murray gotta run north south, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.400 and he did a lot of that on Sunday night. 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.400 But he also got to the edge and got up 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.960 the field. And that's a good combination of the blocking, 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.520 the timing, and DeMarco Murray. I thought running with really 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.560 great power. He had a purpose to him. He broke 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.960 a lot of tackles. Doesn't make a lot of people 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.520 miss Brian, but he really is tough to bring down. 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.880 It knows how to move to football. Once DeMarco Murray 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.640 gets going, you're talking about two three steps into the play. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.920 He is one of the better running backs in the league. 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.199 He's one of the guys that will break some tackles. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:35.920 He'll give you a stiff arm here and there. He's 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.480 not gonna make you miss those types of things. But 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.960 he's a powerful runner once he gets downhill. If he 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.080 gets those shows to squares to a lot of scrimmage, 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.480 he's gonna be very hard to stop. Yesterday you saw 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.840 that and we see the numbers there. Six catches in 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.880 the past game, a huge plus four the Eagles, including 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.079 just a You can't see anything better than Sam Bradford 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:59.000 throwing that wheel route to Murray early in the second half, 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.360 big game. Murray's got some hands, he's got some soft ones, 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.319 and he's really kind of a difficult guy to match 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.320 up against. Well, I think when you look at this game, 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.800 you're talking about a confidence busy. You're talking about a 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.079 building block. And what we saw was now Sam Bradford 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.080 could be more confident in his past catchers. Now he 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.520 could be more confident in his running back out of 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.760 the back of catching the football. But also now he 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.120 could be a little bit more comfortable with knowing that 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.080 he has a running game that can support him. That 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.280 takes a lot of pressure off of Sam Bradford. I 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.440 think this offense can show you they can move the 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.400 ball as long as they're confident and assertive. Yesterday went 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.560 a long way toward that. One of the revelations of 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.800 this first half of the season. Ryan Matthews, for those 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.680 who may not have been familiar with him during his 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.200 days in San Diego, a former first round draft pick, 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.200 has been extremely productive averaging six point one yards per 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.839 carry for this football team. Tell me a little bit 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.320 about Ryan Matthews, how he fits into the offense. Brian, 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.920 what you see from him from a talent standpoint, Oh, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.040 he's awfully talented, first round pick for San Diego. But 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.560 what you see from him is he's see an explosive guy. 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.360 He hits the holes, he makes people miss, and he 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.679 makes you pay if you try to tackle him, especially 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.320 those guys in the secondary. And so you like that 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:08.959 type of guy coming off the bench. He's a kind 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.080 of the guy there's gonna be that spark plug for 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:12.920 those for the offense when he comes off the bench. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.720 And when he's in there, he could catch the ball too. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.280 I think he still needs to continue to work on that, 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.560 but he definitely can cats the ball. He could relift 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.960 this offense. They need him when he comes in the game. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.920 One of the major themes of this first half of 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.560 the season, at least through seven games, why all the 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.520 drops with these wide receivers, players who historically have not 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.520 had problems catching the football and really leading the way there. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.240 Jordan Matthews, who was so up and down through seven games, 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.439 was absolutely magnificent on Sunday night. Yeah, he had the 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.000 forty one yard catching run to end the game, and 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.920 that was spectacular. But Matthews throughout the night making tough catches, 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.040 running hard after the catch, really playing with a sense 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.760 of purpose. Brian and I was so pleased to see 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.040 Jordan Matthews who works really hard, he takes the game seriously, 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.719 who approaches it like a pro Bowl player. I think 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.839 the one thing that you and joy when I hear 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.960 Jordan Matthews talk, I'm hearing a young man saying I 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.400 stayed the course, I worked on the jug machine, I 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.240 did all the things that got me to this level, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.480 and those are the things that helped me get through 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.600 the tough times. I appreciated that from Jordan Matthews. Listen, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.640 he was struggling. The main job of receiver is to 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.640 cast the football. He wasn't doing that consistently enough early 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.240 on in the season. And now we see why he's 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.200 out on the jugg machine because now that he's not 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.520 thinking about catching, now that he's not thinking about the 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.920 pressure desks on him, now he can play naturally and 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.480 he's able to catch the ball. We know the kid 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.960 can cats. He just needed to do that more consistently. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.080 He did that last night and finally offensively, we talked 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.280 about Sam Bradford, Eagles quarterback when a ball game tough, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.640 took some hits, threw the ball down the field, really 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.360 got it going in the second half twelve of nineteen 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.280 through the touchdown pass, engineered a great drive in overtime. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.160 Has Sam Bradford arrived? He's gotten better and better. He 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.040 spoke with a lot of confidence last week, as we 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.280 noted throughout the course of that week, and against a 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:03.520 good Dallas defense, playing behind a makeshift offensive line, sam 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.280 Bradford stood up and delivered for this Eagles team. So 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.560 as we head into the second half of the season, here, Brian, 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.800 your level of confidence in number seven, I'm sorry to 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.600 get that confidence, that same type of confidence that Sam 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.200 Bradford starting to building himself. I think when you look 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.520 at the Panthers game, he even though they lost, he 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.760 in certain situations he stepped up and threw the ball. Well. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.360 I think that confidence over the bye, and then you 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.600 combine that to what he did this past week. I 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.960 think that's a great job. It's a building block with 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.520 this team. It's a building block with Sam Bradford, especially 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.800 when you have receivers catching the football. But I think 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.120 what you're starting to see is a quarterback. Just like 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.680 Chip Kelly said, he can be accurate, he can throw 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.560 the ball strong, he can just mobile enough around in 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.880 the pocket that he can move around, get on the 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.600 edge and threatened defenses on the edge. And that's important 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.440 for a quarterback to be able to do. I think 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.200 those are all the things that Chip Kelly was looking for. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.560 So two thumbs up for the Eagles offense in the 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.280 win over Dallas. When we return to Eagles three sixty, 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.840 we're talking about a defense that did not have its 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.560 best game but made just enough big plays to stave 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:14.680 off the Cowboys night. Ain't a pain to hide of 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:22.360 the pain. To hide of the pain, the pain carves 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:36.120 to complete electrolytes to replenish everything you need to keep sweating, 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.280 experience the power of physical therapy and Novocare rehabilitation.

Is a 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:57.800 Good Sports dot org slash Duncan Philly. We welcome you back. 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.320 It's Eagles three sixty. Dave spitnerow along with all of 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.080 fame at Brian Westbrook we're talking about the Eagles and 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.840 the win over Dallas on Sunday night. Now we transition 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.520 from the offense to the defense. It was not the 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.200 best performance you have these kind of games. Eagles still 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.520 did enough to win, and some good adjustments along the lines. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.280 Cole Beasley killing, Malcolm Jenkins, Eagles go to EJ. Biggers, 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:22.800 Eagles getting a pass rush, Brian some of the good 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.960 things that I saw. Four sacks against Maccastle, Brandon Grant 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:27.959 finally got the sacks that he's been talking about all 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.879 season long. But I think, just like you mentioned, the 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.800 biggest adjustment was Billy Days are saying, Okay, we're gonna 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.040 take Milchcoel Jenkins, who's done a great job in the 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.400 slot all season long, but he got beat a couple 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.040 of times against Cole Beasley. We're gonna give them credit 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.480 for doing that, but we're gonna counter with EJ. Biggers. 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.360 And he'd got beat one time, but then he came 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.040 up with a good pass breakup a bigger play on 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.720 special teams. And so when I look at this defense, 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.440 I'm saying, Okay, you know what, Now our coach understands 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.119 our personnel. Now he says, okay, we can adjust a 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.280 little bit. You're not doing your job right now, We're 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.600 gonna put somebody else out there and allow him to 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.359 do that work. I think that's a sign of a 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.400 coach that's able to understand this unit as well as 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.800 just on the on the run. When the Eagles played 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.480 the Cowboys, I always think of Dez Bryant and Jason Witten. 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.840 Now Cole Beasley McFadden had one hundred plus yards rushing 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.359 Brian As the Eagles go into the second half here, 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.720 how do you feel about the defense? It really was 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.240 positive early in the season. Last couple of games, there's 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.240 been some leaks in the boat. Yeah. I love this 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.119 front seven. I love the physicalness of Thornton and Cox 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.119 and Logan. I love the way those guys get out 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.320 through the quarterback and play the run pretty well. I 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.840 think this team definitely is missing Demiko Ryans in the 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.320 middle of that defense. When you were talking about a 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.240 guy that's able to make sure everyone's lined up and 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.760 he's a short tackler, you're always going to miss that guy. 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.720 And over the last couple of games, two hundred and 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.080 four yards to the Panthers over one hundred and thirty 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.840 yards last night. I think they're missing Demco Ryans an 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.200 awful lot. Yeah, and upfront, still some work to be done, 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.120 although Fletcher Cox has played well and Benny Logan. Some 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.000 creases in the run game and early on that big 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.480 play Dez Bryant on the receiving end. The catch and 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.480 run from Matt Castle really set the Eagles back on 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.280 their heels. The defense didn't take advantage of some great 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:07.320 field position early in the game. Not enough three and outs, 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.000 but hey, late in the game, enough plays. The Jordan 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:14.280 Hicks touchdown return for an interception interceptorn for touchdown was huge. 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.680 The defense a bit of the old Jim Johnson days, bending, 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.359 not breaking, but you'll want to see them get better 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.199 here as the team returns home against Miami. The one 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.720 thing that we saw from this defense when they got 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.879 in a little bit of trouble, I saw Billy Davis 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.439 blitz a little bit more. Michael Kendricks gets home. The 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:35.600 one thing I worry about is the Cowboys. They were 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:37.640 three for three in the red zone with their efficiency, 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:39.720
