Speaker 1: We begin this Eagle three sixty with a weather update.
Speaker 1: It rained, and it rained, and it rained some more
Speaker 1: on the Novicare Complex on this Thursday, and the Eagles
Speaker 1: had some dome practice. Hello everybody. Dave Spidero Eagles insider
Speaker 1: Glenn mac now with me and the Eagles go inside.
Speaker 1: Why not a little practice for the Georgia home. Well,
Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense that you would do this even
Speaker 1: regardless of the rain. Right, that's right, we're pumping the noise. Well,
Speaker 1: you don't need any help with that, because Atlanta they
Speaker 1: do that. Bogus off already, Well done, Glenn. A lot
Speaker 1: to get to today as the Eagles really digging in
Speaker 1: for Monday night's game against the Falcons, got a great
Speaker 1: show for you today. Brandon Graham comes by and we
Speaker 1: go behind enemy lines with d Orlando Ledbetter to find
Speaker 1: out about the Atlanta Falcons, who have certainly had a
Speaker 1: lot of changes and it can't be very settling for
Speaker 1: that football team. No, I think the good thing for
Speaker 1: the Eagles is you're gonna play this team early in
Speaker 1: the year when they have a new coach, new offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: a lot of new players. They hired a new offensive
Speaker 1: lineman three days ago, so they're going to be very unsettled.
Speaker 1: It speaks well for the Eagles this week. And I
Speaker 1: want to welcome Glenn and welcome you to the NFL
Speaker 1: season game one tonight we begin the journey of this
Speaker 1: week one weekend the Eagles, of course the next to
Speaker 1: the last game. So Glenn, what's your routine here from
Speaker 1: the time the Patriots and the and the Steelers kick
Speaker 1: off tonight to Monday night football with the Eagles. As
Speaker 1: much as I can, I'm gonna lock myself in my
Speaker 1: family room right with the well, maybe with a beer,
Speaker 1: maybe with some snacks, maybe with some notebooks and watch.
Speaker 1: As much as I I love that they now started
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, I love that we get to see
Speaker 1: a little preview of two very good teams. And I
Speaker 1: like that the Eagles are playing late this week's second
Speaker 1: last game because we get to scout out everything else,
Speaker 1: including Giants whoops, Giants versus the Cowboys on Sunday, Giants
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys on Sunday, and then of course the
Speaker 1: Cowboys come into town in about ten days. But boy,
Speaker 1: we gotta allow to get to before then. Let's get
Speaker 1: you caught up with everything happening with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Today we go to Alex Smith. It's our Eagles three
Speaker 1: sixty update. Hi everyone, Alex Smith here with your three
Speaker 1: sixty update, presented by Sports Authority. While it was a
Speaker 1: rainy afternoon here at the Novicare Complex, forcing the Eagles
Speaker 1: inside to the practice bubble as they get set for
Speaker 1: the Monday night opener in Atlanta, today, head coach Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly update at the Eagles injury situation, specifically the status
Speaker 1: of Zach Ertz and Marcus Smith heading into the first game.
Speaker 1: Zac took the job. Now he was limited in practice.
Speaker 1: Just him and Marcus were really limited in practice. So
Speaker 1: we know we're getting them back, but we're not going
Speaker 1: to throw them in full you know, put him in
Speaker 1: the deep end of the pool and tell him to swim.
Speaker 1: So he was limited in his reps. Um said he
Speaker 1: didn't feel any real residual, you know, from from yesterday.
Speaker 1: But we still have two more days of training, so it'll,
Speaker 1: you know, it'll we'll see how it plays itself out.
Speaker 1: But but uh, in the limited rep yesterday, said he so.
Speaker 1: Kelly also spoke today about Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: and the challenge that he presents for the Eagles defense.
Speaker 1: Big fan of Matts. I think he's one of the
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in this league. Um, I think he's had
Speaker 1: a really good career. I mean he was they finished,
Speaker 1: you know, just a short time ago. I mean this league,
Speaker 1: you kind of everything happened so fast and you kind
Speaker 1: of forget about years ago. But you know, it was
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago that they had the
Speaker 1: ball in a ten yard line in the NFC Championship game,
Speaker 1: going to get an opportunity to go playing a Super Bowl. So, um,
Speaker 1: he's played at a really high level. And really that's
Speaker 1: the thing that we're most concerned with them offensively, is
Speaker 1: is Matt and Julio and Roddy and that group of
Speaker 1: guys throwing the ball around. So one of the biggest
Speaker 1: questions heading into the season opener will be how the
Speaker 1: Eagles choose to deploy the three headed monster at running back.
Speaker 1: And according to DeMarco Mary, he's excited just to see
Speaker 1: how it all shakes out. Yeah, obviously he's gonna get
Speaker 1: as touches all getting mine, and he got sproles and
Speaker 1: great running back and do a lot of different things
Speaker 1: with all of us. I think we all bring, you know,
Speaker 1: something different to the table, so it's gonna be hard
Speaker 1: for opponents to kind of keen and you know, work
Speaker 1: on one guy. So I think that's that's at our advantage,
Speaker 1: and our rotation and our tempo is something that has
Speaker 1: definitely an advantage for us, and you know, we'll see
Speaker 1: how it goes. Another question mark that should be entered
Speaker 1: on Monday Night will be Nelson Agalor's role in this
Speaker 1: Eagles offense. The rookie is looking forward to his first
Speaker 1: game in Eagles Green. Well, they're excited to watch a
Speaker 1: lot of my teammates play. I'll be honest with you,
Speaker 1: He's some special guys, and I know Monday Night's gonna
Speaker 1: be a great stage for a lot of people to
Speaker 1: do special things. I think for myself, I'm just, you know,
Speaker 1: blessed to be in a position i am and to
Speaker 1: play alongside some of the guys that I'm playing along with,
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be the best part for me. Falcon's
Speaker 1: head coach Dan Quinn also had his conference call with
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia media today speaking about Byron Maxwell, who he
Speaker 1: coached in Seattle as defensive coordinator, and what it is
Speaker 1: that Maxwell brings to the table. Sure, a bunch of him.
Speaker 1: He's uh, I got so much regarded respect for for
Speaker 1: Max he uh number one, he's he's terrific mindset for
Speaker 1: going after the ball. It's the poke outs, is the
Speaker 1: interceptions he really you know, the forced fumbles. That part
Speaker 1: of his game is really in tune. Then the next thing,
Speaker 1: I think it's the length. You know, when he played
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, he's got such long arms,
Speaker 1: and you guys have covered him and seen him. So
Speaker 1: I'd say probably those two things that just you know,
Speaker 1: completely stand out. And then I love the competitor, the
Speaker 1: guy who's just trying to battle for it and finish.
Speaker 1: So I guess those three things the mindset for the ball,
Speaker 1: the length, and then this de attitude as a competitor.
Speaker 1: We also heard from safety Malcolm Jenkins today on how
Speaker 1: head coach Chip Kelly's no excuses style of coaching rubs
Speaker 1: off on the Eagles roster. It would be very easy
Speaker 1: and he could have a way out of, you know,
Speaker 1: justifying everything he's done by saying, oh, you know, we're
Speaker 1: a young team. Ten and six is good two years
Speaker 1: in a row. But that's not his intention. That's why.
Speaker 1: That's not why he's in the NFL as a coach,
Speaker 1: That's not why he shows up every day. He shows
Speaker 1: up to be great, and he wants to put guys
Speaker 1: in this room that are of the same mindset. And
Speaker 1: as players, we see that. We feed off that as well.
Speaker 1: We don't want to be ten and six, We want
Speaker 1: to be champions, and so you know, whatever that whatever
Speaker 1: we need to do to get there, And I said,
Speaker 1: we we'll do. Our week of coverage continues tomorrow as
Speaker 1: we once again here from Chip Kelly inside the media
Speaker 1: tent here at the Novicare Complex, and for all the
Speaker 1: latest Eagles headlines, be sure to keep it right here
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thanks so much, Alex. And
Speaker 1: the news of the day is that everybody's practicing, and
Speaker 1: that's always the best news. Do you think in your mind,
Speaker 1: in your mind, zach ERT's playing on Monday Night? No,
Speaker 1: in my mind, they're not gonna need zach Ertz Monday night,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be able to save him for Dallas. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll see if If that's the case, I think the
Speaker 1: Eagles want to bring him in very slowly and work
Speaker 1: him into the lineup and we'll see if he's ready
Speaker 1: for Monday night football. But if you could do everybody
Speaker 1: on the practice field on this Thursday, when we returned
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty, we take a peek at the Atlanta Falcons,
Speaker 1: a team in transition, a new head coach and a
Speaker 1: new attitude. Does that mean more wins for the Falcons
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen? With extra twenty checking from sant ANDERI,
Speaker 1: you can get paid twenty dollars a month. Just direct
Speaker 1: deposit fifteen hundred dollars or more and paid two bills

Speaker 1: to Philly, the seventeen to Training Road, street line to
Speaker 1: my Park, Bay Marcut, Frankfort Line. All night. We welcome
Speaker 1: you back to Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero Glenn mac Now, Now,
Speaker 1: back in the old days, there was a thing called newspapers.
Speaker 1: Great newspapers. I think we both worked that. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: And the Atlanta Constitution one of the great newspapers in
Speaker 1: our country. And de Orlando led Better one of the
Speaker 1: great beat reporters. Covering the Atlanta Falcons. Indeed, so let's
Speaker 1: go behind enemy lines now, Chris McPherson with de Orlando
Speaker 1: led Better, and let's get the very latest on the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. It's time to go behind enemy lines here
Speaker 1: on Philadelphias dot com and we bring in the man
Speaker 1: who covers the Falcons better than anyone, d Orlando led
Speaker 1: Better of the Atlanta Jenernal Constitution, Darrel. The first thing
Speaker 1: I want to ask you is what's the vibe like
Speaker 1: in Atlanta? Dan quinn is about to make his debut
Speaker 1: as head coach. How are the fans feeling about the
Speaker 1: opener against the Eagles? They're pretty us optimistic, Chris. The
Speaker 1: Falcons of Chain Tad coaches and have a lot of
Speaker 1: new players twenty out of fifty three new players or
Speaker 1: new and they believe they have a rebuilt defense that'll
Speaker 1: be competitive this year, that'll allow them to match up
Speaker 1: with the already pretty good offense to maybe have a
Speaker 1: turnaround in two thousand and fifteen. Down, how are they
Speaker 1: preparing for the up tempo pace that the Eagles are
Speaker 1: going to bring? Well, they've already did their film study
Speaker 1: and so forth. They'll get on the sill today, they'll
Speaker 1: try to match the speed in time of the attack.
Speaker 1: Coach Quinn comes from the University of Florida. He was
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator there for two years before going back
Speaker 1: to Seattle, so he's well versed in the collegiate tempo
Speaker 1: attack at the Eagles are running and uh, you know
Speaker 1: they run that a lot in the sect, so this
Speaker 1: won't be anything new for him or his UH coaching
Speaker 1: staff or the players, so they'll be ready to match
Speaker 1: the speed and try to attack and out hit the
Speaker 1: Eagles down. How are the Falcons gonna ULI's first round
Speaker 1: pick Vic Beasley? Vic Beasley, I think they have a
Speaker 1: tough time if they put him on Peters. They've moved
Speaker 1: him around in the exhibition season, so I expect to
Speaker 1: see him a moore over on Lane Johnson's side. You
Speaker 1: know he's playing the LEO position. Know he'll have Speater somem,
Speaker 1: but that's the mismatch going against the seven time Pro
Speaker 1: bowlers more in line would beat have him going against
Speaker 1: laying Johnson on the right now? Darn you mentioned there
Speaker 1: are twenty new players on the fifty three man roster,
Speaker 1: but two of the ones who are coming back Julio
Speaker 1: Jones and Roddy White at wide receiver. What's the latest
Speaker 1: on Roddy White, who missed the end of the preseason
Speaker 1: with the elbow scope. Yeah, Roddy was back in practice
Speaker 1: drawing the ball around. He caught one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: balls off of the jugs machine. Has to spend in
Speaker 1: this run. He's not in shape, he said, but he
Speaker 1: plans on being out on the field on Sunday or
Speaker 1: excuse me, Monday night, Chris. You know, if he can
Speaker 1: get the matchup against the Eagles Fantom nickelback in the
Speaker 1: slot there or against the number two guy, he thinks
Speaker 1: he'll be okay. Aryl. Obviously, Matt Ryan's one of the
Speaker 1: better quarterbacks in the entire National Football League. But what
Speaker 1: about the offensive line? They trade for any levitre They're
Speaker 1: bringing Jake Long for a workout. What's going on with
Speaker 1: the offensive line? Yeah, that's revent didn't has to be
Speaker 1: best described as a makeshift unit right now. They had
Speaker 1: to get better after the third exhibition game where the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins just walked over him. You know you're gonna
Speaker 1: have four new guys in there that didn't start at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the the last season. You know, Jake Matthews
Speaker 1: to being left tackle the Ventures coming over from Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Mike Person, a guy who was with the Rams and
Speaker 1: with the fifteams, never started at center in the NFL game.
Speaker 1: And Chris Chester was cut by the Red because he's
Speaker 1: the starting right tackle, excuse me, right guard. And then
Speaker 1: Ryan Schrader, who did start ten of thirteen games last year,
Speaker 1: is your right tackle. So you know there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lack of unity up front. They'll beat some opportunities,
Speaker 1: perhaps on stunts and so forth get the Riots. But
Speaker 1: yet that's the big question mark in this game. The
Speaker 1: black and Gonne looks like what's the past? Protection's gonna
Speaker 1: look black and blow the pal see. Orlando led Better,
Speaker 1: thank you very much for take us behind any lines.
Speaker 1: It's going to be an exciting matchup Monday night one
Speaker 1: of the Eagles take on the Falcons. Thanks so much,
Speaker 1: Chris and d Orlando led Better. We thank you very
Speaker 1: much for that. When we returned to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: it's time for this guy to put it all out there,
Speaker 1: all on a limb. Glenn mcnow's five bold predictions for
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. We're coming right back on Eagles three sixty.

Speaker 1: dot com. Love the Eagles play the new instant game
Speaker 1: from the Pennsylvania Lottery. Players must be eighteen or older.
Speaker 1: Please play responsibly. We're back its Eagles three sixty. Time
Speaker 1: now to hear what this guy has to say about
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Falcons on Monday Night. It's Glenn's
Speaker 1: five Gold predictions. Let's start it all right, Well, here
Speaker 1: you go, Number one, the Eagles. You can put up
Speaker 1: thirty eight, maybe a forty spot. Atlanta's defense was about
Speaker 1: the worst than the league last year, was thirty first
Speaker 1: against the run. They got a new coach, Dan Clint,
Speaker 1: who was a great defensive coordinator in Seattle. But it's
Speaker 1: going to take them a long time. They don't have personnel.
Speaker 1: And Eagles will score at least thirty eight. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: with you on that one, sure you are. Yeah. Number
Speaker 1: two's number two and you'll like this one. Also, the
Speaker 1: Eagles will have at least five sacks this week against
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. Their offensive line is a mess. They
Speaker 1: made a trade just a couple of days ago to
Speaker 1: bring in Alan Lavitre, who was kind of a free
Speaker 1: agent disaster in Tennessee. They're very unsettled. Eagles will pass
Speaker 1: rush will be over all over Matt Ryan all day.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk to Brandon Graham here in just a
Speaker 1: few moments about the prospects going against an Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: offensive line that absolutely intire shock. If you see drool
Speaker 1: coming out of the side of his mouth. It's because
Speaker 1: he's looking forward to you. Wonder what Matt Ryan's thinking
Speaker 1: working behind that group. He's one of the top six
Speaker 1: eight quarterbacks in the league, but he really doesn't have
Speaker 1: much chance behind those guys. All right, Number three? All right,
Speaker 1: Number three is the Falcons will have minimum of two
Speaker 1: roughing the passer penalties. I think the concern is everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna go against Sam brad for this year and try
Speaker 1: to hurt him, and I think the Falcons are gonna
Speaker 1: try to do it. We're gonna see that, and I
Speaker 1: do think the league will start to protect him. Are
Speaker 1: you suggesting cheap shots on the Eagles quarterback? Is that
Speaker 1: the tone of the defense? I am so if Spadaro
Speaker 1: suggesting cheap shots all year until the league steps in.
Speaker 1: So what does what do Eagles do about that? I mean,
Speaker 1: other than Bradford his head on a swivel, understanding that
Speaker 1: he's going to be a target, what do you do?
Speaker 1: What do you do? You protect him as well as
Speaker 1: you can. The good thing is he releases the ball quick.
Speaker 1: They probably won't be doing the kind of handoff where
Speaker 1: he's as vulnerable as he was in that game against
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and that's pretty much all you can do.
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford over under twenty five rushing yards this year
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I'll say over twenty five this year,
Speaker 1: but I'll say under one hundred this year. I'll say
Speaker 1: under twenty rushing attempts this year. All right, let's go,
Speaker 1: glennmack down number four. Number four. The player that will
Speaker 1: annoy you this week for Atlanta will be Leonard Hankerson.
Speaker 1: Who fuck. They have Julio Jones and he's great, and
Speaker 1: he's going to get his share and he'll probably get
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. Hankerson comes in as their slot receiver.
Speaker 1: He's replacing Harry Douglas. So I'm a little concerned as
Speaker 1: a part. It's a spot where the Eagles have not
Speaker 1: been very good this preseason. I'm worried about Eric Row,
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Nolan Carroll. I think the slot receiver
Speaker 1: covering the slot receivers spot where the Eagles are very valuable.
Speaker 1: All right, So number five in the Glenn mac now
Speaker 1: Bold predictions category, And you'll like this one day because
Speaker 1: the Eagles running backs are going to combine for a
Speaker 1: minimum of one hundred and fifty yards as I said
Speaker 1: at Lamb's defense is atrocious. Once the Eagles get the lead,
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball. Chip loves to run the ball.
Speaker 1: So DeMarco Murray's first game as an Eagle and Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthew excuse me, Ryan Matthew's first game as an Eagle
Speaker 1: along with Darren Squirrels. They will rush for more than
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards Monday Night against the Falcons,
Speaker 1: roll up forty points. It's going to be a big
Speaker 1: celebration and we will keep track of this when Glenn
Speaker 1: returns on Tuesday for Eagles three sixty. Oh, the day after,
Speaker 1: you were taking note that we're making you accountable for
Speaker 1: all of this. Yeah, just throw it out. I'm just
Speaker 1: throwing stuff out that this is Eagles three sixty power.
Speaker 1: We keep people. It's fine, very account of our Glenn,
Speaker 1: thanks very much for that. When we return to Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty, we go into the studio. Brandon Graham a
Speaker 1: starter now the big contract, and he is hungry to
Speaker 1: get things going on Monday night. Brooke Montgomery, I never

Speaker 1: We welcome you into the studio. Eagles insider Dave Spidero
Speaker 1: with starting outside linebacker Brandon Graham, who before we went
Speaker 1: on the air, He's so pumped up. He's so pumped up,
Speaker 1: he's ready to go on Monday. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: school starting. That's the way I look at it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: every day at school, man, you know, you want to
Speaker 1: put your best outfit on, you want to put your
Speaker 1: best full forward, you know, the first day, and man,
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Do you have any idea how good the
Speaker 1: Eagles defense can be? I know, I really don't, but
Speaker 1: I know we can be really, really good, you know,
Speaker 1: way better than last year. You know, if we just
Speaker 1: keep doing what we're doing, just keep getting better each day.
Speaker 1: And you know, the front seven obviously then got stronger
Speaker 1: this year. I could see it just from you know,
Speaker 1: watching the film. In the back end, man, it's like
Speaker 1: ten times better than where we was last year. And
Speaker 1: that's what I'm excited about. We get more time to
Speaker 1: get after the quarterbacks, and you know, we try to
Speaker 1: make a team one dimensional if we just do our
Speaker 1: job upfront. Brandon, You've worked extremely hard to get to
Speaker 1: this point, to get the comfort of the long term contract,
Speaker 1: to have an opportunities to go out and earn a
Speaker 1: starting job what you have talk about that whole process
Speaker 1: of the way you've grown up in the NFL and
Speaker 1: and how football has changed for you. Well, I was
Speaker 1: just talking about this, man, ever since I got before
Speaker 1: before I even got to the to the league, it
Speaker 1: was just like, man, I was always a starter, always,
Speaker 1: you know, the guy that they was looking up to
Speaker 1: and stuff like that every team I was on. But
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just happy I went through that adversity
Speaker 1: early on in my career, you know, in the NFL,
Speaker 1: because man, it was just like, you know, do you
Speaker 1: really love this game? I know you haven't went through
Speaker 1: that adversity of coming from third team all the way
Speaker 1: back up to ones. It's just like, you know it, man,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just humble. I was already humble, but
Speaker 1: it just made me really work on my craft a
Speaker 1: little more and know that, you know, my job could
Speaker 1: be gone just as quick as you know it I got.
Speaker 1: It just kind of illustrates you that the players who
Speaker 1: make it in this league are the ones who really
Speaker 1: pay attention to detail because everybody's got great talent, and
Speaker 1: then the ones that don't make it maybe don't put
Speaker 1: in the time that they need to put in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know who I look up too, Like, you know
Speaker 1: he'd been in here, he'd been doing it, but still, man,
Speaker 1: he'd just be chopping all the time. It spros. I mean, man,
Speaker 1: you know, you wouldn't think he'd been in the league
Speaker 1: ten years. You would think he's a rookie try to
Speaker 1: make the team the way he'd be playing. And you know,
Speaker 1: coach I always point that type of stuff out. When
Speaker 1: you got vets out here out work at rookies, then
Speaker 1: there's a problem there. You should be looking at what
Speaker 1: he's doing to see like, man, okay, he's been here
Speaker 1: team plus years and he's still doing the same thing
Speaker 1: he's been doing all the way up to this point.
Speaker 1: So it's just all about not tailing off, you know,
Speaker 1: in the end, it's just getting stronger, hopefully. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about the Atlanta Falcons. A bunch of changes on their
Speaker 1: offensive line. So how do you prepare for a team
Speaker 1: when you really kind of don't know maybe who you're
Speaker 1: going to be playing against. If there's changes at left
Speaker 1: tackle Jake Matthews or over on the other side where
Speaker 1: Connor works, I mean, it doesn't matter, or you just
Speaker 1: look at scheme. We look at scheme because you know,
Speaker 1: Shanahan don't change. You know, he got the same type
Speaker 1: of offense that he's been running with r G threeedom guys.
Speaker 1: So we pretty much know what they expect. We just
Speaker 1: got to make sure we just do our part. And
Speaker 1: that's really working working hard, you know, and at what
Speaker 1: we do and just carrying out the plan because I
Speaker 1: know coach Davis well, he gotta he got a game
Speaker 1: plan drawing up already and we're excited just execute it.
Speaker 1: So from your seam, would you expect maybe Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more bootleg, move out of
Speaker 1: the pocket, throw the football kind of thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you expect? I mean, I'm sure they won't
Speaker 1: drop back a lot. They probably move to pocket a
Speaker 1: little bit. You know. I think with them and the
Speaker 1: balls to come out quite a lot of quick game,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much. Remember the year was it last year?
Speaker 1: I want to say where Cousins started, and you know
Speaker 1: the first game he was just getting rid of it fast.
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's gonna be that type of game.
Speaker 1: Oka's what I'm thinking. I'm impressed by you, Brandon. It's
Speaker 1: not about just quarterback sacks. With you the way you
Speaker 1: have grown up and attack the learning scrimmage against the run.
Speaker 1: You're very physical. Talk about that part of the game
Speaker 1: and how much you enjoy it. Man, that's the fun
Speaker 1: part from me, you know, just imposing my will on somebody,
Speaker 1: and you know, especially them tight ends. You know, the
Speaker 1: hardest guy I think I had to block. I mean
Speaker 1: that that blocking me was probably winning, but you know
Speaker 1: he really not even trying to do it either. So
Speaker 1: it's just fun for me, man, because I know I'm
Speaker 1: way stronger than them guys, and I just try to
Speaker 1: go out there and just you know, dominate. That's who
Speaker 1: we take pride in as outside linebackers to not never
Speaker 1: get dominated by tight end. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: this week they're gonna try to move the tight end
Speaker 1: a lot to try to get them in a good position,
Speaker 1: you know, to try to get the edge on it.
Speaker 1: So I mean it's gonna be a good, a good
Speaker 1: challenge for me. I know it's only Thursday, and it
Speaker 1: was day by day, but take us into the brain
Speaker 1: of Brandon Graham Monday night around like six fifty ten,
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes before kickoff? What will you be like? How
Speaker 1: crazy will you be? Well? For me, I'm always talking
Speaker 1: as far as like yelling and all that. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try to calm that down because I kind of overdo
Speaker 1: it sometimes because by the first player, I'm like gas,
Speaker 1: like wow, Like man, I need to save that energy.
Speaker 1: I think for me, you know, I was trying to
Speaker 1: condition myself just by talking and just continue to keep
Speaker 1: doing it. But I'm like, why, you know, I might
Speaker 1: as well just keep it, keep it calming to the game.
Speaker 1: And I think I'm gonna try to go with the
Speaker 1: relaxed stage a little more because I kind of overdo
Speaker 1: it everything and then do it in the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then do it in the game, don't do it
Speaker 1: outside of the game, because for me, man, I'm just
Speaker 1: always I'm just excited. That's just the passion to me.
Speaker 1: But I need to bring it out when we actually
Speaker 1: when the whistle actually blown in it's for real, Then
Speaker 1: it's for real. I'm gonna be g in the house.

Speaker 1: Dave Spidero Glenn mac Now. Now, Glenn, if I were
Speaker 1: to ask you, do you have any questions about the
Speaker 1: Eagles offensive line? What would you say? I think the
Speaker 1: big question is how is Andrew Gardner going to do
Speaker 1: now that he's moving in as a full time starter.
Speaker 1: Andrew Gardner. Interesting that you say that. Andrew Gardner. The
Speaker 1: subjects of this week's Game Plan Show, and Mike Quick
Speaker 1: and Ikereys talk about the starting right guard for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: Andrew Gardner and how he fits in to the offensive
Speaker 1: line picture. All right, Mike, A lot of changes on
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, particularly on the offensive
Speaker 1: line this offseason. Both guard spots. I'm going to see
Speaker 1: new personnel in there, possibly upraids. We's going to start
Speaker 1: with Andrew Gardner here at the right guard position. Big
Speaker 1: position battle for him in the preseason. He seems to
Speaker 1: have won this position battle. And this is the reason
Speaker 1: why I had a good place to start because he
Speaker 1: continues to grow. He is really a season vet now
Speaker 1: and this is a perfect example of the reason why
Speaker 1: he won that job. You know, his movement, feet movement,
Speaker 1: staying in front of the defender, and the way he's
Speaker 1: able to post and keep him off of the quarterback.
Speaker 1: That's what the coaches like. Yeah, and I love the
Speaker 1: fact he's in open space trying to pass for Tech
Speaker 1: and he did not seem to panic, was able to
Speaker 1: keep his composure and keep Mark Sanchez protected. There're gonna
Speaker 1: watch him here in the run game again, the play
Speaker 1: officer line in this offense, you had better be quick
Speaker 1: and nimble with your feet. And the one thing I'm
Speaker 1: starting to notice about Andrew Gardener as I watching more
Speaker 1: and more, look at that that's an athletic big man.
Speaker 1: I like to call those guys dancing panda bears. And
Speaker 1: that's an affectionate term I use for those guys because
Speaker 1: you don't just don't see big man with the type
Speaker 1: of quick feet he's displaying their body position on a
Speaker 1: pretty good linebacker there and C. J. Mosley. So this
Speaker 1: is another reason why the Eagles are very high on
Speaker 1: Andrew's potential here at right guard. Watch him here against
Speaker 1: b J. Rogie again ron blocking. He's gonna be in
Speaker 1: a tandem block here with Jason Kelsey nice there hips
Speaker 1: are low able to get push movement. And what this
Speaker 1: does is it creates all of this for the Marco Murray.
Speaker 1: When you get your lineman creating lanes, it makes it
Speaker 1: easier for the running back to be able to decide
Speaker 1: where he needs to hit the whole. They have to
Speaker 1: have those dancing feet, but they also have to be
Speaker 1: able to take on those three hundred pounders like a
Speaker 1: b J. Roger and post and hold him off of
Speaker 1: your running back. Yeah, and the screenplay we all know
Speaker 1: it is going to be a big part of this offense.
Speaker 1: Watch Andrew Gardner here when he's able to get out
Speaker 1: here in open space. Man, I mean, this is what
Speaker 1: makes this offense go. Have an offensive lineman they can
Speaker 1: get out, take on the linebacker, and look at the
Speaker 1: lanes that are created for ken Yan Barner here in
Speaker 1: the screen. Now, you cannot play offensive line in this
Speaker 1: system without being athletic and without having the ability to
Speaker 1: get to the next level and take on defenders. The
Speaker 1: one thing I've learned about Chiff Jeff Staling with their
Speaker 1: offensive linement that they prefer you give them a little time.
Speaker 1: They can coach you up and have you ready to
Speaker 1: play in this system. Andrew Gardner is a much better
Speaker 1: player today than he was a year or two ago,
Speaker 1: and I think that bowls well not only for him
Speaker 1: in his future, but particularly Sam Bradford being protected about
Speaker 1: his line. Well, there's a look at Andrew Gardner. And
Speaker 1: how about a look at the Eagles television scheduled. Let's
Speaker 1: do that right now. Well, we've got the Eagles game
Speaker 1: Plan presented by Verizon Wireless on NBC ten on Saturday
