Speaker 1: a lot of stakes. It's the Eagles and the Giants.

Speaker 1: of fame and back in black night on Monday at
Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field. Hello everyone in t Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: Eagles insider Dave Spidero with the Hall of Fame of
Speaker 1: Brian Westbrook and it's official. You're in. Before we talk
Speaker 1: about the game, gott to find out your reaction the
Speaker 1: class of twenty and fifteen, Brian Westbrook, Maxie Bonn and
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame. What was the day
Speaker 1: and night like? It was an awesome night And I
Speaker 1: knew Jeffrey Lourie and the Eagles organization was first class,
Speaker 1: but last night was another great example of that. Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Lourie spared no expense to put on a great show
Speaker 1: for me and Maxie. But for me, you know, personally,
Speaker 1: it was just a great experience to share the spotlight
Speaker 1: with my family. They put it so much into the dedication,
Speaker 1: all the sacrifice, and have my teammates there with me
Speaker 1: maybe even more special. Yeah, a lot of them showed
Speaker 1: up and starting the game when Donovan McNabb, Brian Dawkins
Speaker 1: joining Brian Westbrook running out onto the field leading the team.
Speaker 1: It really set the tone. Brian, I thought for a
Speaker 1: super energized crowd and as it turned out, a really
Speaker 1: inspired performs, although not particularly gorgeous from this football team.
Speaker 1: This football team is what I think, what a lot
Speaker 1: of people will call is resilient. They have a knack
Speaker 1: of making some mistakes, some aras from turned over stains
Speaker 1: like that, but also finding a way to win. And
Speaker 1: that is inspired football. That is how you played this game.
Speaker 1: It's not about the style points in this league. It's
Speaker 1: about wins and losses, and they continue to find a
Speaker 1: way to win. We are going to talk about the
Speaker 1: twenty seven to seven victory over the New York Giants,
Speaker 1: and a quick turnaround is the Carolina Panthers the weight
Speaker 1: on Sunday night the first place Eagles. Feels good, not yeah,
Speaker 1: feels great. Nothing that matters a whole lot. Six weekend
Speaker 1: of the Sea, six weeks into the season. A busy
Speaker 1: day here for the novicare complex for the players, for
Speaker 1: the coaches. All sites set right now on the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly holding his day after press conference. Alex Smith
Speaker 1: has the very latest in our three sixty update. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update.
Speaker 1: It is the day after the Eagles commanding twenty seven
Speaker 1: to seven victory over the New York Giants on Monday
Speaker 1: Night Football. Today, we heard from Eagles head coach Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly here at the Novocare Complex as he spoke about
Speaker 1: the eagles improved play on defense. According to the head coach,
Speaker 1: it's not just improved talent that is leading to success,
Speaker 1: but also players being comfortable with the players around them.
Speaker 1: I think they're growing as a group, you know. I
Speaker 1: think they they you know, early when you got a
Speaker 1: group together and they're they're just worried about their job,
Speaker 1: and then what they I got this and that's all
Speaker 1: I do. Now it's kind of looking at the overall
Speaker 1: picture and where do they fit into the overall concept
Speaker 1: of what's going on back there. I think there's a
Speaker 1: better understanding. We've got two really intelligent safeties that get
Speaker 1: everybody lined up in Malcolm and Walter, and that really helps.
Speaker 1: And then you know a guy I don't think it's enough,
Speaker 1: kind of Dj Biggers, who's done a really nice job
Speaker 1: for us. He's a real, real smart football player. You know,
Speaker 1: to get those five of those guys on the field.
Speaker 1: I think they've there's some continuity going on with those guys.
Speaker 1: After a thirteen yard touchdown on the opening drive from
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, the Eagles were able to shut out the
Speaker 1: giants talented young receiver, as the second half was the
Speaker 1: first half of his young career that he has not
Speaker 1: recorded a catch. Today, Kelly spoke about what the defense
Speaker 1: was able to do to limit Beckham's play. Yeah, Billy
Speaker 1: Billion and Corey and those guys did a really good
Speaker 1: job of scheme in it, and we tried to get
Speaker 1: him doubled as much as possible, and there was a
Speaker 1: lot of double coverage going on on Odell. It is
Speaker 1: a short week for the Eagles here at the Novicare Complex,
Speaker 1: as their next matchup is a meeting with the undefeated
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers on the road on Sunday Night Football. Today,
Speaker 1: Kelly spoke about the challenges of playing a red hot
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and Greg Olson, who he calls one of
Speaker 1: the top tight ends in the NFL. They're execute, you know,
Speaker 1: I think Cam's playing at a really high level right now.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart's been healthy, so he's been. He's just a
Speaker 1: horse inside, you know. So you got a great running attack,
Speaker 1: you got quarterback round that we haven't seen this year.
Speaker 1: You know that we really have to really start to
Speaker 1: kind of hone in on because of Cam's going to
Speaker 1: carry the ball. I think they lead the NFL and
Speaker 1: rushing attempt per game because not only do you have
Speaker 1: the running back, you have the quarterback and then camp
Speaker 1: strown it at a really high level. They've lost some whiteouts,
Speaker 1: you know, they lost Benjamin for the year, but they've
Speaker 1: probably got one of the premier tight ends in Olson
Speaker 1: right now, who had a huge game against Seattle last
Speaker 1: week and can cause some problems from a matchup standpoint
Speaker 1: as a tight end. And then defensively, it starts with
Speaker 1: their two linebackers, who it's the best pair will play,
Speaker 1: you know, in Keith Lean Davis because they can both
Speaker 1: run sideline to sideline. They don't come off the field,
Speaker 1: they don't have to come off the field. And Nickel
Speaker 1: because they're both three down linebackers and they're doing a
Speaker 1: really nice job, you know, in all three phases. So
Speaker 1: there's a reason they're undefeated, and you can you can
Speaker 1: tell in terms of how they're playing right now. Be
Speaker 1: sure to stay here all week long on Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot com as we bring you the latest Eagles coverage.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we will hear from Eagles coordinators Pat Shermer and
Speaker 1: Bill Davis. And then on Thursday we will hear from
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly one final time before Sunday Night's game in Carolina.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Alex, and we will break down this
Speaker 1: victory in detail. We'll talk about it defense that absolutely
Speaker 1: put the clamps on Eli Manning after a drive and
Speaker 1: a half. But next up on Eagle three to sixty, Hey,
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray over one hundred yards a touchdown, Let's have
Speaker 1: some fun with his Eagles offense. I scept to Philly.
Speaker 1: I sept the Philly. You'll step up Philly, the bus,
Speaker 1: the trolley, the train route one twenty four, root twenty three.
Speaker 1: I supped to Philly the seventeen to training, jenkintown, to

Speaker 1: delco media, to work, to school, to the ball us
Speaker 1: Braun Street, to the game. I scept to Philly anywhere.
Speaker 1: Even ordinary moments become milestones when you've overcome cancer. At
Speaker 1: Jefferson's Sydney Kimmel Cancer Center. If we had a marker
Speaker 1: for every patient we treated who is now cancer free,
Speaker 1: would be everywhere evidence that our personalized approach to cancer
Speaker 1: treatment is producing some of the highest survival rates in
Speaker 1: the nation. And that's a milestone for everyone. Jefferson, until
Speaker 1: every cancer is cured. Hi, my name is Jim Taylor.
Speaker 1: I've been with back Me for thirty four years. Our
Speaker 1: Lancaster brand beef is the best around. We cut our
Speaker 1: meat fresh every day and we actually have customers come
Speaker 1: from other stories just for our meat. Freshness is our
Speaker 1: number one priority. No one beats our fresh fish. We
Speaker 1: have the precious apple, the Christie's lettuce fresh produces what
Speaker 1: we do. We do the best cake decorading in the area,
Speaker 1: hands down, one hundred and twenty three years strong. Come
Speaker 1: on in, you'll see the changes, you'll feel it, you'll
Speaker 1: love it. We welcome you back to Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: insider Dave spideryl Hall of Famer Brian Westbrook. Let me
Speaker 1: see that smile. Here we go. It's gonna be all
Speaker 1: year man, your life. You're all absolutely all right. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the Beagles offense. It was an uneven performance
Speaker 1: against the Giants. Too many giveaways for in total. Good
Speaker 1: job by DeMarco Murray, the running game going two hundred
Speaker 1: years passing from Sam Bradford. But we want more, Brian,
Speaker 1: is it fair to want more? I think it's fair
Speaker 1: to want more because you see the potential of Sam Bradfery.
Speaker 1: You see the potential of this offense. We know they
Speaker 1: can move the ball up and down the field, but
Speaker 1: we want to see him score points. We want to
Speaker 1: see this offense move the way that we're you're accustomed
Speaker 1: to seeing it move. And right now, because of the turnovers,
Speaker 1: this offense is not able to move that way, and
Speaker 1: so they have to find some type of rhythm. Sam
Speaker 1: has to stop throwing the ball to the other team.
Speaker 1: But yesterday it was good to see this offensive line,
Speaker 1: who at the beginning of the year did not look great.
Speaker 1: They came together yesterday. Jason Peters looked like Jason Peters
Speaker 1: of old. He looks very healthy. And DeMarco Murray got
Speaker 1: the twenty two carries that he needs and we now
Speaker 1: were shown the type of back that he actually is.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about DeMarco and he's got the small, choppy
Speaker 1: steps and kind of looks like herschel Walker to me
Speaker 1: a little bit without that you know gear, But he
Speaker 1: runs physically, he's productive, and he got outside a couple
Speaker 1: of times, bouncing from the inside hole to the outside
Speaker 1: edge and getting into the end zone for example. What
Speaker 1: do you think of him? When I watched him last
Speaker 1: night and the first couple of weeks, I was wondering
Speaker 1: he looked a little bit slower than I had seen
Speaker 1: him in Dallas. But last night he looked quick, he
Speaker 1: looked physical, he was getting downhill. Of course, the offensive
Speaker 1: line being doing a much better job helped him. But
Speaker 1: now he's running the ball downhill, he's squaring his shoulders
Speaker 1: up to the line of scrimmags and his footsteps. That's
Speaker 1: just his style. That's the way he runs, and I
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with it as long as he's
Speaker 1: getting positive yards, and he did a lot of that
Speaker 1: last night. Do you feel the twenty two carries really
Speaker 1: got him into a rhythm. He seemed to get stronger
Speaker 1: and more productive as the game went on. Well before
Speaker 1: a running back, you have to get that rhythm. You
Speaker 1: have to find a way to continue to touch the football,
Speaker 1: get that lather going. And if you get that rhythm.
Speaker 1: Now you're stronger in the fourth quarter then you are
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. And that's the type of back
Speaker 1: he is. He's a bigger back, a back that needs
Speaker 1: to touch the ball often, and those twenty two carries
Speaker 1: is exactly what the doctor ordered. Back to back, really
Speaker 1: strong performances from the Eagles running backs. The running game
Speaker 1: is moving in the right direction. The passing game, well,
Speaker 1: there's still some hitches in the Eagles giddy up and
Speaker 1: those are the turnovers. But Brian a big game from
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper, nice contribution from Miles Austin. No Nelson Agilore
Speaker 1: on the field on Monday Night, but the Eagles still
Speaker 1: able to gash the Giants just enough to win by
Speaker 1: twenty points. What happens in football is as soon as
Speaker 1: you get your running game going, then you opened up
Speaker 1: a defense for a play action pass. And Sam Braffitt
Speaker 1: is really athletic enough to get all side of the
Speaker 1: pocket find open receivers. He did a great job of
Speaker 1: that yesterday, finding Cooper, founding Austin. Those guys will be
Speaker 1: productive as long as Sam Bradfort can get out the
Speaker 1: pocket and have open lanes to pass the football. I
Speaker 1: wonder what does Chip Kelly and Pat Sherman. What do
Speaker 1: you do now with Bradford in terms of just saying, hey,
Speaker 1: we don't want you to be gunshy, we want you
Speaker 1: to take some chances, but we must reduce the takeaways.
Speaker 1: How do you approach that with a quarterback? Well, I
Speaker 1: think you have to continue to build this competence if
Speaker 1: you and you do that in practice, you allow him
Speaker 1: to throw the football, take those shot plays, and if
Speaker 1: he gets the ball intercepted or tiptolf in practice, don't
Speaker 1: worry about It's not a problem. Continue to build the
Speaker 1: confidence for your quarterback. And even we did this some
Speaker 1: time with Donovan was a quarterback you set up you
Speaker 1: set Sam Bradford up for success in practice practice. That's
Speaker 1: going to build this competence that's going to allow him
Speaker 1: to continue to go into football games and be very competent.
Speaker 1: And so for Sam, I would talk to the coach.
Speaker 1: I love these set of plays. They're five plays. I love.
Speaker 1: These other five I don't like at all. These are
Speaker 1: the ones I need to run despite the turnovers. Eagles
Speaker 1: with five hundred and nineteen yards against New Orleans two
Speaker 1: Sundays ago, four hundred and twenty five yards against the
Speaker 1: Giants and at twenty point victory. When it all comes together,
Speaker 1: you get the sense that this is going to be
Speaker 1: a really post right. So that's good stuff. Eagles three
Speaker 1: and three, two straight wins, and that is our conversation
Speaker 1: with the offense. When we return the Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about a defense that is
Speaker 1: playing just outstanding football, the front seven, stopping the run game.
Speaker 1: And on Monday night, Eli Manning got a heavy dose
Speaker 1: of Eagles defense and carves to compete electrolytes to replenish
Speaker 1: everything you need to keep sweating. What makes a Temple owl?
Speaker 1: Meet Stella. She's wise, fierce, and she's not alone. Temple
Speaker 1: University where owls call home. We are the Cherry and White.
Speaker 1: The city is our classroom, and we lead the rush hour,
Speaker 1: making our mark on every field around the world. The
Speaker 1: world without Temple, well, that's like the sky without the
Speaker 1: North Star, Temple never stopping. I got tickets, Metro tickets.
Speaker 1: You need a Metro ticket. Talk to me, please. I
Speaker 1: don't even know these real tickets. If you touch it,
Speaker 1: this leather legit, I mean, how do we really know?
Speaker 1: It looks good? Right? No, I'm paying myself. I gotta
Speaker 1: make problem. Does a baby need a Metro ticket, I'll
Speaker 1: give her one on me. These tickets they're not stealing
Speaker 1: your soul. You can look at them. May nobody wants
Speaker 1: to buy tickets from a guy on the street. I
Speaker 1: don't understand right now. Santon dair will pay you when
Speaker 1: you open and use a new Santon Dare checking account.
Speaker 1: Now there's something to celebrate. Learn more at Santon dairbank
Speaker 1: dot com. Welcome back to Eagles three sixty. Dave Spinnarrow,
Speaker 1: Eagles Insider, along with Brian Westbrook, the Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: We're talking Eagles defense and what a performance on Monday Night.
Speaker 1: Three takeaways from the Giants. Three sacks of the Lion Manning,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior shut out in the second half, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles front seven again doing the job against the
Speaker 1: Giants run game. Brian, is it time to take this
Speaker 1: Eagles defense and say, you know what, it's a good defense.
Speaker 1: I think it is time. When you have a front
Speaker 1: seven that's aggressive, you have a front seven that's they're
Speaker 1: able to get out their teams in the run game
Speaker 1: as well as the pass game, and then you have
Speaker 1: a back back in the secondary in linebacker group. That
Speaker 1: is very opportunistic. If the ball is in the air,
Speaker 1: they're gonna attack it. They're gonna go get the football,
Speaker 1: and that's what you want out of a defense. Brian,
Speaker 1: You've been in many, many games, and last night's game
Speaker 1: was really an interesting When the Giants take the opening kickoff,
Speaker 1: they go right down the field, they score a touchdown,
Speaker 1: the Eagles a three and out offensively, and then New
Speaker 1: York gets the football back, goes down the field again,
Speaker 1: and you're going, oh boy, what kind of game is
Speaker 1: this going to be? And then devieco Ryan steps up
Speaker 1: and makes the play and the whole game just seem
Speaker 1: to turn around. You've been on the field, you've been
Speaker 1: part of this. Is that really what happens? Can one
Speaker 1: play change a game that's significantly That's exactly what happens.
Speaker 1: I remember back when we were playing against Dallas, Dac
Speaker 1: made a big sack, but Dac made an interception and
Speaker 1: once that happened, now the confidence the ball starts rolling
Speaker 1: for the offense, the ball starts rolling even more for
Speaker 1: the defense, and that's all it takes. Demigo's Ryan's is
Speaker 1: the type of player that can set his defense up
Speaker 1: for a success. Yesterday was a great example of what happens. Dude,
Speaker 1: do you guys exhale? Do they get a little extra
Speaker 1: level of confidence, emotion, relaxed? Hey, what is it exactly?
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of all those things. They
Speaker 1: get a little bit of confidence, they are able to exhale.
Speaker 1: And when guys are able to exhale and play naturally,
Speaker 1: that's when they start to be successful. That's when you're
Speaker 1: not worried about the scheme, You're just going out there
Speaker 1: playing football. That's when guys are the best. That's what
Speaker 1: happens after turnovers like that. Eli Manning really struggles a
Speaker 1: link in financial field against the Eagles. For whatever reason.
Speaker 1: Eagles get a beat on him, They put pressure on him,
Speaker 1: they understand his progressions, and Nolan Carroll made the second
Speaker 1: big play of the night for the Eagles, stepping in
Speaker 1: front of a Manning pass, returning its seventeen yards for
Speaker 1: a touchdown and giving Eagles a fourteen to seven lead
Speaker 1: from that point. The route was on last year, the
Speaker 1: Eagles allowing seventy two passing plays of twenty plus yards
Speaker 1: on Monday Night. A big goose egg for an explosive
Speaker 1: Giants offense, the secondary, which was remade after the twenty
Speaker 1: fourteen season, appears to be hitting its stride. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think Nolan Carroll is really leading that way. He's doing
Speaker 1: a great job of covering guys, but I think Billy
Speaker 1: Davis is playing a part in that as well. He's
Speaker 1: putting his guys in perfect position for them to be successful.
Speaker 1: And Nolan Carroll in that defense, in that trap to
Speaker 1: zone head Eli Manning and out came back to the
Speaker 1: receiver picked the ball off with the other way. But
Speaker 1: that's what you need out of your defense. As soon
Speaker 1: as your coach understands what are good for your players,
Speaker 1: then your players can be start to play the way
Speaker 1: that your coach needs them to play. That's what happened yesterday. Upfront, Brian,
Speaker 1: We've talked about Fletcher Cox so much this season, deservedly so.
Speaker 1: His partner up front, Benny Logan, also having a terrific
Speaker 1: season on the nose, perhaps under the radar a little bit,
Speaker 1: but you kind of get the feeling that people around
Speaker 1: the league know all about Benny Logan. Eagles are dominant
Speaker 1: against the run, and on Monday Night they also offered
Speaker 1: quite a bit of a pass rush against Manny Benny Logan.
Speaker 1: It's so important to anchor the middle of the defensive line,
Speaker 1: and he's doing a great job at that. Yeah, those guards,
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna play right in front of the center,
Speaker 1: they're gonna the guy's gonna get double team almost every
Speaker 1: single play. Benny Logan with that low anchor, low sen
Speaker 1: of gravity, is able to anchor. He's able to split
Speaker 1: a double team and still make plays in the running game.
Speaker 1: And the guys that you went up front, the guys
Speaker 1: that you want in the trenches. They're gritty, they're grimy,
Speaker 1: they're dirty, and that's the type of player that you want.
Speaker 1: That's the type of player that you have in Benny Logan.
Speaker 1: I was really impressed by him. And the challenge, of
Speaker 1: course this Sunday night will be Cam Newton. His mobility,
Speaker 1: his strength in the pocket, his ability to ward off
Speaker 1: and ship would be tacklers. Although they don't have the
Speaker 1: passing game and they haven't particularly run the football well,
Speaker 1: Panthers are five and O'Brien they're they're a legit team. Listen,
Speaker 1: Greg Alsen has done a great job. Cam Newton has
Speaker 1: done a great job at the standing plays and are
Speaker 1: getting around it outside and still being able to run
Speaker 1: the football. I think this weekend is about playing your responsibilities.
Speaker 1: Make sure you're staying in your rush length and if
Speaker 1: you can contain Cam then you'll be very successful defensively.
Speaker 1: One more note from Monday night, big shout out to
Speaker 1: the Eagles on special teams. The kicking game outstanding, Donnie
Speaker 1: Jones fifty four point two yards gross average on his punts,
Speaker 1: the coverage outstanding, and Caleb Sturgis a perfect night. So
Speaker 1: the Eagle's sticking with Sturgis and it seems like he's
Speaker 1: finding his groove, his consistency, the pieces falling into place
Speaker 1: for this football team at three and three. When we
Speaker 1: return to Eagles three sixty, well, it's Tuesday already, and
Speaker 1: that means we've got to take a little spin around
Speaker 1: the world of fantasy football. It's Joe Dolan's turn up
Speaker 1: next the Fantasy Ruin for the Fantasy Spin. A wave
Speaker 1: of game day excitement is rolling into Duncan. Taste the
Speaker 1: new Tailgator breakfast sandwich stacked with smoked sausage by a
Speaker 1: roasty Peppers and Onions America runs on Duncan. When you
Speaker 1: get away from smartphones, and video games and tablets. It's
Speaker 1: amazing what you can really plug into this season. Shop
Speaker 1: the brands you love, plus thousands of items on sale.

Speaker 1: Fantasy Football rules the world. We all know that we're
Speaker 1: just holding time until Sunday comes and people can play
Speaker 1: their fantasy sports. Let's go over to Alex Smith Joe
Speaker 1: Dolan our Fantasy Spin. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and
Speaker 1: this is Fantasy Spin presented by bud Light. I am
Speaker 1: joined as I am every week by Joe Dolan, the
Speaker 1: managing editor of Fantasy Guru dot Com. Joe. A player
Speaker 1: that a lot of fans had high hopes for this
Speaker 1: season in terms of fantasy was tight end zach Ertz,
Speaker 1: and through the first six game to the season, he
Speaker 1: hasn't quite put up those big numbers yet, but he
Speaker 1: is getting a good amount of the eagle snaps. Where
Speaker 1: does arts fit into the fantasy picture? Right now. He's
Speaker 1: starting to creep his way into it, and Alex, I'm
Speaker 1: sure anybody in that building would tell you the offense
Speaker 1: isn't working at the capacity they wanted to be working.
Speaker 1: But we've seen signs of life in recent weeks and
Speaker 1: zach Ertz is becoming a part of that. His eighty
Speaker 1: six percent snapshare against the Giants was actually the highest
Speaker 1: of any Eagle offensive player not named Sam Bradford or
Speaker 1: anybody on the offensive line, which means that they are
Speaker 1: making a concerted effort to get zach Ertz more involved.
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford hasn't thrown him a touchdown pass to him yet,
Speaker 1: but he's looked to him in the end zone on
Speaker 1: multiple occasions. I think the production is coming for zach Ertz.
Speaker 1: It hasn't just he's got to get over the hump,
Speaker 1: but he is absolutely worth adding. He's a guy who's
Speaker 1: been dropped in some leagues. But if you need tight
Speaker 1: end help, and a lot of people do, zach Ertz
Speaker 1: is somebody who I would consider because his snaps are
Speaker 1: going up and Bradford is looking for him. Joe, a
Speaker 1: player that you liked this week is a young wide
Speaker 1: receiver with the Minnesota Vikings. But a lot of people
Speaker 1: may not know about. Yes, Stefan Diggs. He's a rookie
Speaker 1: out of Maryland. He was a fifth round pick, really
Speaker 1: productive player in college. Had over one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: receiving yards this past week from Minnesota in a really
Speaker 1: ugly game with the Chiefs. It's not a great waiver
Speaker 1: wire week, but Diggs is a guy who I'm very
Speaker 1: interested in. The Vikings just haven't been able to get
Speaker 1: the passing game going. They have really really struggled Teddy Bridgewater.
Speaker 1: But Stefan Diggs came out. He made some plays last week,
Speaker 1: and with Charles Johnson still banged up with that rib
Speaker 1: cartilage injury, I think Stefan Diggs is a guy who
Speaker 1: has earned himself some more playing time. So if you
Speaker 1: need receiver help, that's somebody I'd be considering this week
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions. Joe La Garrett Blunt had a
Speaker 1: really nice game in the Patriots big win over the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night. But you're a little bit
Speaker 1: hesitant on moving forward. Somebody I follow on Twitter, I
Speaker 1: really respect use the term point chasing with La Garrett
Speaker 1: Blunt and the Patriots more so than anybody get these
Speaker 1: big blunt games from there. From the running backs. It's
Speaker 1: almost you can predict when La Garrett Blunt is going
Speaker 1: to have a nice game. He has been a cult
Speaker 1: killer in the past. However, this week against the New
Speaker 1: York Jets, a four and one Jets team only the
Speaker 1: Eagles have beaten them, a really tough team to run on.
Speaker 1: I would have a hard time believing La Garrett Blunt
Speaker 1: is going to replicate his success that he had against
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. I'd be looking to sit La Garrett
Speaker 1: Blant this week, maybe even trade him high coming off
Speaker 1: of that big game. I do not want Lagarret Blunt
Speaker 1: in my lineup. I think this is a Dion Lewis
Speaker 1: week in the New England backfield. Joe, you mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: that it might be a little bit of a tough
Speaker 1: week on the waiver wire. Who are a couple of
Speaker 1: guys that you're keeping an eye on this week? Well,
Speaker 1: obviously I mentioned Kristin Michael how many times three or four?
Speaker 1: He might get more carries coming out of the bye week.
Speaker 1: One guy a lot of people have forgotten about is
Speaker 1: Brandon LaFell of the New England Patriots, the wide receiver.
Speaker 1: He is eligible to come off of the pup list
Speaker 1: this week. I think he's a very intriguing sash because
Speaker 1: once again they don't really have that downfield threat. You
Speaker 1: saw them taking shots to Keyshawn Martin in the game
Speaker 1: against the Colts. I think those are targets that would
Speaker 1: be going to LaFell if he's healthy. So I'm watching
Speaker 1: Brandon LaFell. I'd be looking to add him if I
Speaker 1: need receiver health. And I'm interested to watch the Cowboy
Speaker 1: offense with Matt Castle at quarterback. It can't possibly be
Speaker 1: worse than it was with Brandon Weedon, and I think
Speaker 1: at Dez Bryant back, maybe they moved the football a
Speaker 1: little bit more and open up some fantasy opportunities there.
Speaker 1: Great stuff, as always from Joe Dolan, the managing editor
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Guru dot com. Be sure to follow Joe
Speaker 1: on Twitter at fg Underscore Dolan and listen to him
Speaker 1: on Serious XM Fantasy Sports Radio. That'll wrap things up
Speaker 1: for this week's edition of Fantasy Spin. Thanks so much, guys.

Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty Dave SPIDERO Brian Westbrook on this Tuesday,
Speaker 1: the Eagles on this short week getting ready for the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, undefeated, four reel after a road win against Seattle.
Speaker 1: It's interesting, Brian, this is not only a big challenge
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, but it's the last game before the
Speaker 1: bye week, and I know that the Andy Reid team
Speaker 1: has had some issues, if you will, in that last
Speaker 1: game before the by what happens to a player's mind,
Speaker 1: what do you have to guard against? Well, the problem
Speaker 1: what happens were a lot of guys right before the
Speaker 1: bye is that you start thinking about what are you
Speaker 1: going to do in the buy Are you going to
Speaker 1: travel with your family? Are you just going to stay
Speaker 1: in the house and chill, are you going to rehab?
Speaker 1: And so your focus on the game is gone at
Speaker 1: that point. And so in this league you have to
Speaker 1: be able to hundred percent be focused and committed on
Speaker 1: the game at task at hand, and sometimes before the
Speaker 1: bye you forget about that. Well, listen, I want to
Speaker 1: My personal plea for Brian Westbrook is that you get
Speaker 1: a chance to rest, relax, drink in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: It's been a crazy couple of weeks. For your congratulations again,
