Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It's Eagles three sixty on this Monday, after
Speaker 1: the big loss of the Dallas Cowboys, were welcome you
Speaker 1: to the Novercare Complex. Eagles insider Dave Spidero the Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. Brian Westberku is a nominee for the Pro
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame and finalists. Congratulations, Thank you very
Speaker 1: much so we can smile it out something today. One
Speaker 1: day after losing to the Dallas Cowboys. Brian some thoughts
Speaker 1: on what happened at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. We
Speaker 1: just need a lot of things to happen for us.
Speaker 1: We need to exec a lot better. We need our
Speaker 1: offense to try to figure things out. We need guys
Speaker 1: to block a lot better. We need to get the
Speaker 1: run established defense. But we still have some work as well.
Speaker 1: The front seven needs to find a way to get
Speaker 1: some more penetration to get to the quarterback and maybe
Speaker 1: we have to be able to cover in a secondary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the special teams giving up another big play block
Speaker 1: punt returned for a touchdown over two for the special
Speaker 1: teams in two games this season. So it is a
Speaker 1: significant hole for the Philadelphia Eagles. We will talk a
Speaker 1: little later on about a season in the past where
Speaker 1: the Eagles started this way and dug their way out
Speaker 1: of it and made the NFU Championship game that season.
Speaker 1: But a long way to go between now and then.
Speaker 1: Some significant updates here Chip Kelly meeting the media today.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Alex Smith our Eagles three sixty update, injuries,
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more. Hi everyone, Alex Smith here
Speaker 1: with your three sixty update, presented by Sports Authority. No
Speaker 1: practice here at the Novicare Complex today for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: but it was a chance for the team to look
Speaker 1: back at the film from yesterday's disappointing twenty to ten
Speaker 1: loss the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. Today, head coach
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly met with the media explaining what went wrong
Speaker 1: in yesterday's defeat, and according to the head coach, it
Speaker 1: all starts up front with the lack of a running game. Now,
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't run a lot of plays, but
Speaker 1: I mean we ran sweep from running back on one
Speaker 1: side of the quarterback. We ran sweep from running back
Speaker 1: on the same side as a quarterback. So we ran
Speaker 1: sweep with motion, you know, a couple of three different
Speaker 1: ways we were running it. But we still didn't block
Speaker 1: them up front, So I don't think that's how we
Speaker 1: were handing it out or what. And the formations we
Speaker 1: were running them out him, I think we're you know,
Speaker 1: they were all varied, but we still didn't The biggest
Speaker 1: thing is we didn't stop penetration all night, all night long,
Speaker 1: especially in the ring games. The Eagles defense was on
Speaker 1: the field for eighty five plays and yesterday's lost to Dallas.
Speaker 1: And while Kelly explained that time possession doesn't really matter
Speaker 1: to him the coaching staff, the number of plays run
Speaker 1: does matter. I think it was a factor. They were
Speaker 1: on the field for eighty five snaps. You know, I
Speaker 1: think that's a byproduct of us not moving the ball offensively.
Speaker 1: So we weren't on the field offensively, and that's a
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a time of possession guy, but
Speaker 1: I am a snap guy. You know, you look at
Speaker 1: the Atlanta game, who was sixty eight seventy. You know,
Speaker 1: that's an even football game, both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: Everybody played the kind of the same amount. But this
Speaker 1: one was an eighty five sixty game. You know that
Speaker 1: that can't happen. And that's where our offense has to
Speaker 1: be able to help our defense out by we need
Speaker 1: to continue drives and we can't go three and out.
Speaker 1: So Kelly also explained that he is very confident in
Speaker 1: the Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford after a shaky performance and
Speaker 1: while Bradford hasn't really been able to get anything completed
Speaker 1: over the top of opposing defenses, Kelly once again stated
Speaker 1: that that has everything to do with the Eagles lack
Speaker 1: of a run game, you know, and you've got to
Speaker 1: establish a run so that that they have to commit
Speaker 1: more people to the run right now. Right now, we
Speaker 1: haven't done anything in the run game where a lot
Speaker 1: of times we saw it, we saw all single higher
Speaker 1: two high safeties and those safeties were not involved in
Speaker 1: the run game at all because they didn't have to
Speaker 1: be in the run game at all. So I think,
Speaker 1: you know, it kind of goes hand in hand. When
Speaker 1: you start to run the football, well, you need to
Speaker 1: now take people from deep and bring them up a
Speaker 1: little bit closer to the line of scrimmage. When that happens,
Speaker 1: now you have an opportunity to throw the ball over
Speaker 1: the top. Kelly explained that there is no injury update
Speaker 1: at this time on linebackers Key Alonzo and Michael Kendricks,
Speaker 1: but be sure to keep it right here on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot com for the latest word on their health status. Also,
Speaker 1: be sure to join us for our pre and post
Speaker 1: practice press conferences as we bring them to you live
Speaker 1: throughout the week right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com.
Speaker 1: Well thanks so much, Alex. Ahead in the show, we
Speaker 1: take a look at some positions that need to be
Speaker 1: improved for the Philadelphia Eagles, not just individuals, but very
Speaker 1: significant spots on this football team. Players need to step up.
Speaker 1: We also take a look at around the league. Not
Speaker 1: everybody's doing all that well. There's a bunch of teams
Speaker 1: that are O and two that still have high expectations.
Speaker 1: But when we returned Eagles three sixty, Brian and I
Speaker 1: are going to talk about what went right and what
Speaker 1: went wrong for the Eagles in their NFC East opener
Speaker 1: twenty to ten loss to those hated Dallas Cowboys. With

Speaker 1: I Lovedega to the movie, to my part play Spring Garden,
Speaker 1: Late Night, West Philly, South Philly. A wave of game
Speaker 1: day excitement is rolling into Duncan taste the new tailgate
Speaker 1: breakfast sandwich stacked with smoked sausage, fire roasted peppers, and onions.
Speaker 1: America runs on Duncan we welcome you backat Eagles three
Speaker 1: sixty Dave Spadaro Brian Westbrook reviewing the Eagles lost to
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Let's start with some bright spots. You
Speaker 1: got any you know, there were a few bright spots.
Speaker 1: I think Defensively, the front seven did a pretty decent
Speaker 1: job eliminating some of the mistakes that they made early
Speaker 1: in the game. And for a team that was on
Speaker 1: the field, the defenses out of the ball for over
Speaker 1: forty minutes, I think they did an okay job. There's
Speaker 1: still some areas that they can improve, and that's really
Speaker 1: it from the bright spots. The other one that I
Speaker 1: would say is the injury to Tony Romo now gives
Speaker 1: this NFC East a wide open look. The Cowboys without Romo,
Speaker 1: without Dez Bryant for likely up to two months, if
Speaker 1: not longer. The Redskins at one and one, the Giants
Speaker 1: have blown two double digit leads in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: there and two, So maybe, you know, if Eagles get
Speaker 1: going here against the Jets, turn things around. And let's
Speaker 1: harken back to the two thousand and three Eagles season
Speaker 1: loss and Lincoln Financial Field and the opener there against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, a blowout loss to New England on the
Speaker 1: road at Buffalo, the airplane loses altitude and this season
Speaker 1: turned around and you were part of it. How did
Speaker 1: it happen? You know? I think they started with the
Speaker 1: airplane losing a lot of altitude. Guys were panicking, stewardess
Speaker 1: were yelling and screaming and crying. But in that football game,
Speaker 1: we didn't play a great game. We got a couple
Speaker 1: of good individual plays that towards the end of the
Speaker 1: game we found a way to win. I think, just
Speaker 1: like this football team, you have to your big players,
Speaker 1: your money guys, DeMarco Mury, your Nelson Aguila, you're Jordan Matthews.
Speaker 1: They had to step up and find a way to
Speaker 1: make a play, make that play where they haven't done that.
Speaker 1: But in that game, I think a lot of guys
Speaker 1: are stepped up. That's what it was. The group effort
Speaker 1: came together, the core guys came together and they played. Well.
Speaker 1: That's what they have to do a right Brian. Yesterday
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Cowboys. The running game is just
Speaker 1: going nowhere, going backwards. In fact, what is happening with
Speaker 1: this running game? Well, you have to have effective line play.
Speaker 1: When you win games, we winning the trenches, and right
Speaker 1: now they're not winning in the trenches. Too much penetration
Speaker 1: from tackle to tackle, including the tight end. Right now,
Speaker 1: they're not allowing themselves any chances, and so DeMarco Murray
Speaker 1: can't get on track because the offensive line is not
Speaker 1: allowing him the opportunity. Too much penetration in the back
Speaker 1: they will ruining any running game. Have defenses kind of
Speaker 1: correctly anticipated what's coming in a sense figured out what
Speaker 1: this offense is all about. But I don't know if
Speaker 1: they figured it out. I just think that at this
Speaker 1: point they're telling all of their defensive linements just don't
Speaker 1: worry about two gapping, Just get penetration. Go straight up
Speaker 1: the field. And if you have a center pulling and
Speaker 1: your guards not able to get down fast enough to
Speaker 1: get that guy that's penetrating, that's going to cause problems
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Those are the guys that are making
Speaker 1: them play. So is it a thing where Jeff Stoutlin
Speaker 1: says we're gonna change up the way we block it
Speaker 1: up front? You know, it's hard to change schemes in
Speaker 1: the middle of the season, early on in the season,
Speaker 1: But I think at this point you have to start
Speaker 1: doing things a little bit different. Instead of leaving your
Speaker 1: tight end on the island with defensive end, you might
Speaker 1: have to help with the top with just a bit
Speaker 1: instead of leaving starting your center out starting to pull
Speaker 1: right after he snaps the ball. Maybe he puts a
Speaker 1: hand on this guy before he leaves that situation, and
Speaker 1: that's going to help the guards out of an awful lot.
Speaker 1: Seventy yards rushing for the Eagles in two games and
Speaker 1: without the run game, Brian Sam Bradford really is ineffective.
Speaker 1: We saw on Sunday a confused looking Bradford, a couple
Speaker 1: of interceptions, a fumble on a bad staff from Jason Kelsey,
Speaker 1: a huge, huge turnover in the red zone. So this
Speaker 1: offense starts with the run game. If that's not going anywhere,
Speaker 1: the passing game getting nothing going down the field, what's
Speaker 1: your solution to fix that? Well, of course you start
Speaker 1: up from again. You need that protection, but I think
Speaker 1: that run game, getting that timpo going, that's the thing
Speaker 1: that you need. And right now they don't have their
Speaker 1: run game. Of course you want to start getting some quick,
Speaker 1: easy passes to build confidence in your quarterback. Sam Bradford.
Speaker 1: But they have to find a way to get those things.
Speaker 1: That means the receivers have to get open. That means
Speaker 1: he needs time to develop those plays. Right now, neither
Speaker 1: one of those things are happening. One year ago, the
Speaker 1: Eagles leading the NFL in special teams play, and in fact,
Speaker 1: the Eagles winning games because of their special teams in
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen hasn't been the case. Through two games this year,
Speaker 1: the Eagles have given up some big plays. Lost the
Speaker 1: hidden yardage battle against Atlanta, and then on Sunday, a
Speaker 1: big play early in the second half, a blocked punt
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown, the Cowboys executing it perfectly over
Speaker 1: John Dornboss and Brian Brayman. They timed it upright and
Speaker 1: they made the big play blocking Donnie Jones punt. Brian.
Speaker 1: We kind of took for granted if these special teams
Speaker 1: would be even better this year, a boy. Coaches in
Speaker 1: the league are pretty smart. Yeah, they're very smart. And
Speaker 1: every year you're putting stuff one film that can possibly
Speaker 1: be used by other staffs so they can defeat you.
Speaker 1: And so every year you have to be excellent in
Speaker 1: your personnel, but you have to be excellent in your
Speaker 1: execution and right now they're not excellent in your execution
Speaker 1: and punt team. All it is is about counting the numbers,
Speaker 1: understanding who your guy is and blocking that guy. You
Speaker 1: also understand that they're going to run some stunts. They're
Speaker 1: gonna try to pick the center, pick the guard on
Speaker 1: those types of situations, and you have to have somebody
Speaker 1: to pick that up. Their personal protector has to help out.
Speaker 1: So not a lot went right for the Eagles on Sunday.
Speaker 1: One thing that was okay the Eagles in past defense,
Speaker 1: and we go to our All twenty two review with
Speaker 1: NFL Film Senior producer Greg Cosell. He talks about a
Speaker 1: play Damiko Ryan's made in the end zone, among others
Speaker 1: that kind of highlights in the past defense. Yesterday, the
Speaker 1: Eagles lost to the Cowboys in a disappointing game, but
Speaker 1: their defense really stood out. Let me show you a
Speaker 1: few of the plays that really impressed me. This was
Speaker 1: another outstanding play by the Eagles defense in the first
Speaker 1: quarter and it's saved a touchdown. Now, I want to
Speaker 1: show you the design of the play from the Cowboys perspective.
Speaker 1: It's play action in the backfield and Tony Romo is
Speaker 1: trying to get the ball right here to Jason Witten,
Speaker 1: who's going to leak behind the defense, because the whole
Speaker 1: idea is for the play action to impact a Miko
Speaker 1: Ryans who's aligned over Witten. So Ryan steps forward and
Speaker 1: Witten gets behind him and it's an easy touchdown. But
Speaker 1: you know who really made this play Fletcher Cox right here.
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox got in quick, and their timing and this
Speaker 1: needed to be very precise, and Romo's timing was off
Speaker 1: and he was late with his throw. Let's clear the
Speaker 1: screen and see what happens as we run this play.
Speaker 1: Look at Cox get in quickly. Romo need to plan
Speaker 1: early and deliver. He could not. Ryan's was able to
Speaker 1: recover and make a terrific play in the end zone
Speaker 1: to save it touchdown. This was the very last play
Speaker 1: from scrimmage in the first half. At this point, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys led three to nothing. Tony Romo needed to go
Speaker 1: to the end zone here or they would not be
Speaker 1: time for a field goal. Now what Romo wanted here
Speaker 1: was his big tight end Escobar aligned right here. He's
Speaker 1: matched on Nolan Carroll the corner. That's who Romo wanted
Speaker 1: to get the ball to now Chris Maragos, who's right here.
Speaker 1: He initially started close to the line of scrimmage. Maragos
Speaker 1: did a really good job. He kind of baited Romo
Speaker 1: and you'll see as the play starts and we clear
Speaker 1: the screen that he dropped out and took away the
Speaker 1: inside route by Escobar. Beautifully done. Romo forced to come
Speaker 1: off that he had to get the ball to the
Speaker 1: end zone. He threw an incompletion, an excellent job by Maragos,
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys were forced to kick a field goal.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Greg. Well being oh and two, it stinks.
Speaker 1: We all agree with that. You agree with that, We
Speaker 1: agree with that, everybody in the building agrees with that.
Speaker 1: But it is not the end of the world. We
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier two thousand and three of the
Speaker 1: Eagles reaching the NFC Championship game after starting oh and two,
Speaker 1: and if you look around the league, which will do
Speaker 1: when we return to Eagles three sixty and two. A
Speaker 1: common theme among some teams who have playoff aspirations experience

Speaker 1: is Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero, Brian Westbrook, the Eagles
Speaker 1: and two looking for some good answers here this week
Speaker 1: against the Jets, oh and two around the league, Brian
Speaker 1: seven other teams, potentially eight other teams. If the Colts
Speaker 1: lose tonight O and two among them Seattle Detroit, a
Speaker 1: lot of people loving that team. The NFC's as you
Speaker 1: see it, is it wide open. I really do believe
Speaker 1: that NFC still is wide open when you think about it.
Speaker 1: That the Giants are o and two, that gives us
Speaker 1: a chance. There the Redskins, who we still don't really
Speaker 1: believe in our one to one, and then the Cowboys
Speaker 1: without Tony Romo, without Dez Brian are two and ow
Speaker 1: and so we believe that those teams right there will
Speaker 1: slip just a bit. That gives a lot of the
Speaker 1: opportunity for this Philadelphia Eagles football team. And I still
Speaker 1: think they have a lot of room ahead of them
Speaker 1: to continue to get better, to execute much better and
Speaker 1: perform their game plan. The Washington Redskins one and one
Speaker 1: leading the NFL in rushing Brian, so they have something
Speaker 1: to hang their hat on. Offensively, along with the defenses
Speaker 1: played well. Yeah, the rosters and riskans have played well.
Speaker 1: It kind of gone pass a RG three thing and
Speaker 1: now they're depending on their run game and their defense
Speaker 1: to win football games. And you've talked to any player,
Speaker 1: any analysts that you need a run game and you
Speaker 1: need a defense to play well, and that's what the
Speaker 1: Risks have low reform. How much can the Cowboys sustain
Speaker 1: without Tony Romo, without Dez Bryant, with Brandon Weedon at quarterback,
Speaker 1: with Joseph Randall at running back, without Randy Gregory. Greg
Speaker 1: Hardy is still out for two games the Cowboys two
Speaker 1: and oh, But you wonder how they can continue to
Speaker 1: win without so many key pieces. They're getting some great coaching,
Speaker 1: and they're playing really good physical defense. They're playing aggressive
Speaker 1: physical defense. But I'm a firm believer that no team
Speaker 1: in this NFL can win a lot of games and
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs without a franchise type of quarterback.
Speaker 1: And Brandon Weeden is not that guy. I think Joseph
Speaker 1: Randall is actually going to be okay behind that offensive line,
Speaker 1: and that defense is still suspect in my mind, losing
Speaker 1: Gregory and some other players not getting hard and Scandrick
Speaker 1: as well, and so I still think that the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have a long way to go, especially with Brandon Wheaton
Speaker 1: at the helm of their offense. The Giants losing Eric
Speaker 1: Flowers with an injury of their left tackle on Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, and once again in position like they
Speaker 1: were a week earlier to beat the Cowboys. On Sunday,
Speaker 1: the Giants had the Atlanta Falcons on the ropes and
Speaker 1: couldn't hold on in the fourth quarters. So they're at
Speaker 1: O and two team. They play the Redskins this weekkey
Speaker 1: nfcast battle on Thursday night, and the Giants I think
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the most dangerous of the other three teams
Speaker 1: in the division. I think they get Victor Cruz back,
Speaker 1: They're very potent offensively, and the defense kind of playing
Speaker 1: some solid defense other than what happened yesterday with Julio Jones, Yeah,
Speaker 1: was the Giants. They're they're actually scoring points. They're finding
Speaker 1: a way to put the points on the board. However,
Speaker 1: they're not They're losing games that they bury in. So
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that can be corrected.
Speaker 1: And so truthfully, I'm not so worried about the risk
Speaker 1: because I'm not so worried about the Cowboys because of
Speaker 1: their quarterback situation. But the Giants are a team that
Speaker 1: if they get Cruis back and they continue to find
Speaker 1: a way to win, at the end, they have to
Speaker 1: just do one more quarter of football or even a
Speaker 1: half of a quarter of football. Then they they're actually
Speaker 1: two and oh instead of oh and two. That's a
Speaker 1: big difference. That's a team that I'm worried about just
Speaker 1: a bit there. But with all that being said, the
Speaker 1: Eagles in this division are still wide open. They're still
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. Even after owen two start for the
Speaker 1: bird we are just two games in people the Seahawks
Speaker 1: into the Ravens and two, the Saints in two, Detroit
Speaker 1: is in two, and Chicago and two with a quarterback
Speaker 1: with a hamstring full, so the Bears could be in
Speaker 1: a whole lot of trouble. We hope that's not the
Speaker 1: case here in Philadelphia now where the Eagles to turn
Speaker 1: things around. A lot of players and a lot of
Speaker 1: positions have to turn it around. And when we return
Speaker 1: the Eagles three sixty, Brian and I will talk about
Speaker 1: some position groups that need to produce your best ends

Speaker 1: Dave Spideryo, Brian Westbrook, Eagles three sixty. We come your
Speaker 1: way every day, Monday through Friday at five o'clock. Eagle's
Speaker 1: getting ready for week three, trying to put that game
Speaker 1: against Dallas behind them. Let's talk about some positions that
Speaker 1: must be better. We begin on the offensive line, Brian,
Speaker 1: No personnel changes. The five you see are the five
Speaker 1: you're going to see moving forward, and that means Jason
Speaker 1: Peters and Alan Barber and Jason Kelsey and Andrew Gardner
Speaker 1: and Lane Johnson and Brent Sellick got him play better,
Speaker 1: play better, run the football. How do you do it well?
Speaker 1: They first have to communicate a lot better. I saw
Speaker 1: it in the first game even as well as this game.
Speaker 1: They weren't communicating very well. And so when you're passing
Speaker 1: off games from guard to center and guard to tackle,
Speaker 1: you have to communicate better. You have to pass those
Speaker 1: things off much better. And they have to also find
Speaker 1: a way to be better on their double teams. If
Speaker 1: their double team is intended for the guard and center
Speaker 1: to double team the three technique up to the linebacker,
Speaker 1: you have to get that guard off and to get
Speaker 1: up to that linebacker instead of allowing Sean Lee to
Speaker 1: run around all day long without getting touched. So they
Speaker 1: have to do that better. And then the last thing
Speaker 1: they have to stop the penetration. They have to play
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the line of scrimmage. And
Speaker 1: if they do that, though would be much better than
Speaker 1: playing on the offensive side of the line of scream
Speaker 1: And if they do that, the passing game will get going.
Speaker 1: In We'll see what this group of wide receivers can do.
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly has talked throughout the summer here and the
Speaker 1: early part of the season about the depth and the
Speaker 1: talented wide receiver. We just haven't seen the explosive plays
Speaker 1: that we've been accustomed to in Chip Kelly's first two seasons.
Speaker 1: Where is Riley Cooper, Where is Josh Huff, Where is
Speaker 1: Miles Offson? Jordan Matthews shut out in the first half
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Nelson Agilore an intermediate route runner at this point,
Speaker 1: nothing down the field? Brian, how did the Eagles stretch
Speaker 1: out these defenses that seem to be creeping closer and
Speaker 1: closer to the line of scrimmer. Where You're absolutely right,
Speaker 1: defenses are creeping closer and closer to the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: And so what you have to do is maybe, even
Speaker 1: if you don't complete it, take a shot down the
Speaker 1: field that's going to make a safety at least. Think
Speaker 1: about the deep, the deep route, the gold routes, the
Speaker 1: deep slants, things like that, the post those types of
Speaker 1: routes that the safeties have to worry about, but in
Speaker 1: this offense they haven't been worried at all. The other
Speaker 1: thing I would do is I would design certain plays
Speaker 1: I need to get Nelson Agilar involved in the game
Speaker 1: plan early on. I want to design a few plays
Speaker 1: early on to get the ball in his hands, just
Speaker 1: to get his juices flowing. Riley Cooper the same thing.
Speaker 1: Get his juices flowing. You have a screen or two
Speaker 1: here for a Josh Huff, get his juices going. Don't
Speaker 1: just try to get Jordan Matthews involved, get the other
Speaker 1: guys involved as well. That's going to open up things
Speaker 1: for everyone on this offense. On the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, outside linebacker with Brandon Graham and with Connor
Speaker 1: Barwin need more pass rush punch. Eagles were able to
Speaker 1: rotate three outside linebackers last year with Trent Cole in
Speaker 1: the mix. That depth is not there now and Graham's
Speaker 1: struggling Connor Barwin playing well, but it's not been enough
Speaker 1: to really force quarterbacks out of their comfort zone, and
Speaker 1: as a result, the Eagles secondary at times has given
Speaker 1: up some big, big plays. How do you unleash a
Speaker 1: pass rush, you know, I think one of the things
Speaker 1: that Billy Davis has tried to do is blitz just
Speaker 1: a bit more. I think the blitz is starting to
Speaker 1: get to some teams. Unfortunately, that's going to leave is
Speaker 1: susceptible on the back end of the defense, and so
Speaker 1: now I just need a corner Barwin, I need Brandon Graham,
Speaker 1: I need Vinny Carey, Fletcher Cox as will. I need
Speaker 1: you to win your one on one battles. These guys
Speaker 1: are talented guys. These are the guys that you brought
Speaker 1: in here to get that pass rush. I think they
Speaker 1: can do it. They just have to get consistent in
Speaker 1: winning those battles, and if they do that, that's going
Speaker 1: to take a lot of pressure off of the secondary.
Speaker 1: In a span of one afternoon, the Eagles inside linebacker
Speaker 1: position when from deep and talented and promising to really
Speaker 1: concerning the injury t Kiko Alonzo Michael Kendricks with a
Speaker 1: hamstring injury, and suddenly third round draft picked Jordan Hicks
Speaker 1: in the middle of the action moving forward, he says
Speaker 1: he's ready. He played well on Sunday, but a lot
Speaker 1: of responsibility for Hicks alongside Demiko Ryans, who's clearly not
Speaker 1: all the way back from that achilles tendon injury. Suddenly
Speaker 1: the Eagles looking at an inside linebacker spot. It's very
Speaker 1: similar to what it was last year. Lots of injuries
Speaker 1: and questionable death. You know, you want that depth, that
Speaker 1: inside linebacker, especially with Demiko Ryans coming off that achilles.
Speaker 1: The one thing you have to worry about is that
Speaker 1: deepens being on the field too long, and so that
Speaker 1: may speak to the offense just a bit, but you
Speaker 1: need great play out of Jordan Hicks. Hey, listen, you're
Speaker 1: a young guy, but at this point you have to
Speaker 1: grow up. This is a conversation that the lot of
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have with him. We can't. We don't
Speaker 1: have time for you to play like a rookie. We
Speaker 1: don't have time for you to act like a rookie.
Speaker 1: We need you to play like a veteran. We need
Speaker 1: you right now, So step your game up. Damiko Ryans
Speaker 1: is going to go on long way into Jordan Hicks's development. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's what we see. The Eagles needs step ups
Speaker 1: from just about everybody on this roster, every position group
Speaker 1: hum this roster to turn things around. We'll be back
Speaker 1: in just a moment. Some final thoughts here on Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty with extra twenty checking from sant ANDERI, you
Speaker 1: can get paid twenty dollars a month just direct deposit
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars or more and pay two bills a
Speaker 1: month with the online bill pay feature. Then you can
Speaker 1: get paid twenty dollars a month. That's just the way
Speaker 1: it works. So what are you waiting for? I got tickets,
Speaker 1: Metro tickets. You need a Metro ticket? Talk to me, please,
Speaker 1: I don't even know these real tickets. If you dollar
Speaker 1: just did to touch it, this leather legit. I mean,
Speaker 1: how do we really know? It looks good? Right now?
Speaker 1: I'm paying myself. I gotta make problem. Does the baby
Speaker 1: need a Metro ticket? I'll give her one on me.
Speaker 1: These tickets, they're not stealing your soul. You can look
Speaker 1: at them. May nobody wants to buy tickets from a
Speaker 1: guy on the street. I don't understand. However you do sports,
Speaker 1: however you do fun, However you do summer, do it

Speaker 1: sixty Dave Spidero, Brian Westbrook. Tomorrow, Glenn McDow joins me.

Speaker 1: lot of Eagles on the fantasy football roster aft the
Speaker 1: two weeks, Yeah, look at Wheel and Deal. Just look
Speaker 1: at Wheel and Deal. You're gonna stick with it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stick with them because I believe in this team.
Speaker 1: I believe in these Birds. They have to change some
Speaker 1: things around. I think Chip Kelly has a coach and
Speaker 1: staff to get this done now. I need these guys
Speaker 1: to dig a little bit deeper, execute a little bit better.
Speaker 1: And I believe in this team. Yeah, and there's no
Speaker 1: doubt there's a lot on Chip Kelly right now. The CounterPunch,
