Speaker 1: It's Eagles three sixty on this Thanksgiving Week Monday on dates,
Speaker 1: but there are Eagles Insider along with the Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer Brian Westbrook and quick turnaround for the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: after Sunday's well embarrassing loss to the Tampa by Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that when first, Brian, welcome in. Happy
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving to you and yours. I know it's hard to
Speaker 1: put that in perspective now, but it is happy Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: time for everyone. Eagles played an embarrassing game on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You've been through those kind of games. What did you see? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw a football team that just didn't look like themselves.
Speaker 1: They didn't come out sharp yesterday. They didn't come out
Speaker 1: with a lot of emotion. And that's not the type
Speaker 1: of a game that you're expecting from a Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: football team. Or I'm expecting some excitement. They win ahead
Speaker 1: and scored in the first series, and so I'm expecting
Speaker 1: this team to be jumping all over the place, and
Speaker 1: we didn't see that yesterday. It kind of surprised me.
Speaker 1: Defense giving up five hundred and twenty one total net
Speaker 1: yards to a Tampa Bay offense that had scored four
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the previous three games. Effort has been questioned, Brian,
Speaker 1: we wonder about that, Chip Kelly saying no, that's not
Speaker 1: an issue. Players saying no, that's not an issue. The
Speaker 1: good news, if there is any, is that the Eagles
Speaker 1: are back on the training field getting ready for Detroit
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day. And so the question really too, Brian,
Speaker 1: you've been out there, you've been in the locker rooms,
Speaker 1: you've gone through these experiences. How do you change the
Speaker 1: mindset in four days? Well, the tough part is that
Speaker 1: your experience a game like that, and it makes you
Speaker 1: question a lot of different things. The good part is
Speaker 1: that they have a game in four days, and so
Speaker 1: now you you're gonna go back in, you watch the film,
Speaker 1: you try to correct all the mistakes that you can correct,
Speaker 1: and now you have a game right outterwards. And so
Speaker 1: that's probably the saving graceful this football team. I think
Speaker 1: that's something that they should be looking forward to. And
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to hear it, but the
Speaker 1: Eagles just one game out behind the New York Giants
Speaker 1: in the NFC, six games to play, We've got a
Speaker 1: lot to get too. In the show today, We're gonna
Speaker 1: rehash what happened on Sunday from our perspective, look ahead
Speaker 1: a bit to the Detroit Lions as well. First, let's
Speaker 1: get your caught up on everything happening today. Eagles back
Speaker 1: on the field. Chip Kelly meeting the media. There are
Speaker 1: some updates to be had. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith
Speaker 1: and this is your three sixty update. The Eagles don't
Speaker 1: have much time to dwell on yesterday's defeat to the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they have to get set for
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Day match up with the Detroit Lions. Before
Speaker 1: practice began today, we heard from Eagles head coach Chip Kelly,
Speaker 1: who spoke about the issues the Eagles defense faced in
Speaker 1: the Russian game. I think when you look at the
Speaker 1: game specifically, and I'm not just go back to the
Speaker 1: other games, but it was four runs, you know, four
Speaker 1: runs I think for one, I know, but those four
Speaker 1: runs were the big and we've not done that before.
Speaker 1: We've been people have have hit us for six, seven, eight,
Speaker 1: but we haven't had runs break and get out the backside,
Speaker 1: you know, and go for the distance that they want for.
Speaker 1: And that's uh, you know, that was the thing in
Speaker 1: terms of that we got we got to do a
Speaker 1: better job tackling. We've got to do a better job
Speaker 1: in our fits in terms of where we're gonna be
Speaker 1: in gap defenses. Meanwhile, inside the Eagles locker room, we
Speaker 1: heard from players on the challenges of facing a short week,
Speaker 1: but how that might actually be a good thing as
Speaker 1: the Eels look to move past that loss. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so you can't really dwell on anything. You
Speaker 1: have to really get after some of the corrections and
Speaker 1: move on because you play a game four days later
Speaker 1: and so you really, like you said, don't have time
Speaker 1: to waste and you start to move on to the
Speaker 1: next game plan. Right now, we're just trying to shake
Speaker 1: it off and get ready for these lines. But we
Speaker 1: only got a couple of games, I mean a couple
Speaker 1: of days, and it's all mental this week, and we
Speaker 1: just got to make sure we know what they're gonna
Speaker 1: throw out. As I mean, you have to learn from
Speaker 1: your states and move on. You know, you can't dwell
Speaker 1: on it. We can't point fingers. You know, we have
Speaker 1: a game in three days, So that's how we look
Speaker 1: at it. Now. Just try and get the mistakes corrected
Speaker 1: and just focus on Detroit. After facing Mike Evans and
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson on Sunday, the Eagles get another tough test
Speaker 1: and Calvin Johnson on Thursday. Inside the locker room, we
Speaker 1: heard from Eagles defenders on what it will take to
Speaker 1: neutralize Megatron. He's different, I would say, just the fact
Speaker 1: that you know he's fast. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: the bigger receivers and not as fast. You know, probably
Speaker 1: run out good four five. Calvin runs four to three,
Speaker 1: you know, and you don't see a lot of receivers
Speaker 1: to kind of keep it the way he does. And
Speaker 1: you know, for him being a big body guy, you know,
Speaker 1: he's still able to move, getting out, getting getting in
Speaker 1: and out of his breaks, and uh, no staffers looking
Speaker 1: for him. So he's always in the conversation of the
Speaker 1: best receiver in the league. And Um just as his
Speaker 1: bill being that fast and that tall and that big,
Speaker 1: UM's obviously something big kound of pable. I'm office Cortner.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do anything I can to get him the ball. So,
Speaker 1: like you said, you'll move them around as much as
Speaker 1: you can. Uh And like I said, as it goes
Speaker 1: on a situation in the game, down and distance whatever
Speaker 1: it is their play calling. It may be a short week,
Speaker 1: but that means that it is a jam packed week
Speaker 1: of coverage here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. So we
Speaker 1: should just stay here for the latest updates, including all
Speaker 1: the latest injury news here from the Novacare Complex. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much, Alex. When we return, we'll talk about some defense.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to talk about there. But next up
Speaker 1: on Eagles three sixty. Look at the Eagles offense that started,
Speaker 1: as Brian said, so well, drive right down the field,
Speaker 1: and then not much of anything happened. Well for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to talk about when Eagles three
Speaker 1: sixty returns. If you're the guy from the Operation game,
Speaker 1: you get operated on. It's what you do. True. If
Speaker 1: you want to say fifteen percent of more on car insurance,
Speaker 1: just switched the Geico, It's what you do. I got tickets,
Speaker 1: Metro tickets. You need a Metro ticket. Talk to me, please,
Speaker 1: I don't even know he's real tickets. If you don't,
Speaker 1: just just 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 Does the baby need
Speaker 1: a metro ticket. I'll give her one on me. These tickets,
Speaker 1: they're not stealing your soul. You can look at them.
Speaker 1: Pay Nobody wants to buy tickets from a guy on
Speaker 1: the street. I don't understand that ain't the pain to hot.
Speaker 1: For the pain to hot, but the paint carbs to
Speaker 1: complete electrolytes to replenish everything you need to keep sweating.
Speaker 1: Be the playmaker in Madden sixteen. Available now, we're back
Speaker 1: Dave Spadaro, Eagles Insider, along with Brian Westbrook at Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty. We're live for you this week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and then we've got a complete coverage of the Eagles
Speaker 1: and the Lions from Ford Field. That game starts at
Speaker 1: twelve thirty. We'll have our coverage beginning at eleven thirty
Speaker 1: right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. The offense up first.
Speaker 1: Here Mark Sanchez making his first start of the game,
Speaker 1: first start of the season on Sunday, and the first
Speaker 1: drive it went well enough. He looked like he was
Speaker 1: in a great tempo, got the football out quickly accurately.
Speaker 1: The Eagles moving with confidence after the bizarre opening to
Speaker 1: the game where DeMarco Murray fumbled, Tampa Bay picked it up,
Speaker 1: they fumbled it, Eagles get the ball back and Brian,
Speaker 1: they moved down the field like you hope they would,
Speaker 1: and you thought Marks has something going on here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Mark Sants has looked good to begin the game, to
Speaker 1: start things off. The problem has been throughout his career
Speaker 1: is that he likes to throw the ball to the
Speaker 1: other team. And so when you're talking about making sure
Speaker 1: that you are staying on the field or at least punning,
Speaker 1: you can't turn the ball over. Mark Sants has really
Speaker 1: had that problem throughout this career. What's interesting with this
Speaker 1: offense is that they are just not getting the football
Speaker 1: out to the weapons. And Chip Kelly talked about it
Speaker 1: earlier today. Josh hoff catches a pass, a great catch
Speaker 1: and run for a touchdown, and then he wasn't targeted
Speaker 1: for the remainder of the game, and Chip said that's
Speaker 1: because of the way that the Tampa Bay defense was
Speaker 1: covering Huff in that instance where he had the touchdown catch,
Speaker 1: he was in man coverage. Then after that it was
Speaker 1: too deep zone and that kind of preclude you from
Speaker 1: throwing the football to the wide receivers instead of attack
Speaker 1: in the underneath areas. Sounds like to some the defense
Speaker 1: dictating to the Eagles offense. Yeah, what I would like
Speaker 1: to be able to see is Chip Kelly's innovative offense
Speaker 1: be able to dictate to the deepense, making sure that
Speaker 1: you can't take away Jordan Matthews. You can't take away
Speaker 1: Josh Shuff, you can't take away those outside receivers that
Speaker 1: you count on so much. And so if I'm an
Speaker 1: offensive guy, I'm saying, listen, I don't care what defensire running.
Speaker 1: I have play designs. I have different things that I
Speaker 1: can get the ball to the guys that I need
Speaker 1: to get to ball to my playmakers. Unfortunately, we didn't
Speaker 1: see a lot of that yesterday. What did you see
Speaker 1: in terms of the play calls yesterday? The design of
Speaker 1: the offense, Well, I think a lot of the players,
Speaker 1: just like Chip Kelly normally does, they're repetitive. They continue
Speaker 1: to happen over and over and over, and Unfortunately, better defenses,
Speaker 1: defenses that have players that can make plays like Lavonte
Speaker 1: David and Kwan Alexander. Those guys can make plays, Gerald McCoy,
Speaker 1: they can make plays. They can also digest offenses, and
Speaker 1: so you have to have some type of variation. You
Speaker 1: have to have some type of something that can just
Speaker 1: change the pattern that you normally have. You saw that
Speaker 1: a little bit on the screenplay. That was probably the
Speaker 1: FID the sixth screenplay that they had ran all game long.
Speaker 1: And so now Lavonte David, he's timing things up, he's
Speaker 1: understanding the pattern and he's able to jump on the
Speaker 1: ball and kest his pick six. Sam brad for Mark
Speaker 1: Sanchez Thursday. What's your thoughts on that if Bradford's healthy.
Speaker 1: I would go with Bradford only because I think the
Speaker 1: players feel like Bradford gives them give them a better
Speaker 1: chance sometimes. At some point yesterday I got the feeling
Speaker 1: that the players were waiting for the others shoots to
Speaker 1: drop with Mark Sanchez and they're waiting for that intersection
Speaker 1: just because they kind of notice history. I think that
Speaker 1: they believe a little bit more and Sam Bradford, so
Speaker 1: I would try to give him a chance if he's
Speaker 1: healthy enough to play. How much can a game plan
Speaker 1: change Brian from a Sunday game to a Thursday game.
Speaker 1: You know, there isn't much time in the meeting rooms,
Speaker 1: there's not much time on the training field, so what
Speaker 1: can you do to add wrinkles formation wise, play call
Speaker 1: wise that might be able to spring a big play. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the tough part because this is a short week
Speaker 1: and you don't want to overload your guys and at
Speaker 1: some point they're not executing some of the plays and
Speaker 1: the designs that we have already, so adding more stuff
Speaker 1: is probably going to hurt them more though more so
Speaker 1: than help the guys. And so you try to perfect
Speaker 1: your skills, perfect the things that you do well. Right now.
Speaker 1: For the Eagles, unfortunately, it's just not very many things.
Speaker 1: So as troubling as the performance from the Eagles offense
Speaker 1: was on Sunday, with three giveaways and really nothing going
Speaker 1: after that early touchdown to Josh Huff, the defense had
Speaker 1: its own troubles. And when we returned to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about a defense that for so much of
Speaker 1: the season has kept the Eagles in games. On Sunday though,
Speaker 1: a Tampa Bay offense that has scored just four touchdowns
Speaker 1: in three games prior they had a field day at
Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field. Catch Holiday cookie cheer on the tip

Speaker 1: enter the keyword Eagles Insider With Brian Westbrook, We've got
Speaker 1: some time to talk about the Eagles defensive performance against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. A Bucks offense that had scored four touchdowns
Speaker 1: in the three previous games in this one looked outstanding.
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston five touchdown passes, four in the first half,
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty one total night yards, ten of
Speaker 1: sixteen on third down conversions, one of one on fourth down.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay did what it wanted to do offensively, gaping
Speaker 1: holes for Doug Martin. He tied a record set by
Speaker 1: Jim Brown and then Emmett Smith most rushing yards against
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Amazing. Yeah, So what did you see
Speaker 1: from the defense? Yeah? Well, I saw a defense that
Speaker 1: didn't play their scheme very well. I saw a defense
Speaker 1: that we're not in their gaps what they like they
Speaker 1: should have been. I saw a defense that just didn't
Speaker 1: understand what they needed to do. And then at the
Speaker 1: point of attack, they weren't the tough, physical heart in
Speaker 1: those defense that I've seen earlier in the year. And
Speaker 1: that's going to be a problem, especially if you're not
Speaker 1: playing your gaps properly. You at least have to try
Speaker 1: to find a way to make a play. You can't
Speaker 1: miss tackles, and you can't be kind of soft at
Speaker 1: the point of attack. Tons of miss tackles, tackles where
Speaker 1: the Eagles would have some penetration opportunities for tackles for loss.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, maybe not the thirty
Speaker 1: yard game, but a three four five yard game, positive
Speaker 1: yardage that kept Tampa Bay in manageable situations, and then
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers just so good converting on third downs, and
Speaker 1: then Winston getting time to throw the football looking down field,
Speaker 1: big targets. We've talked about that all last week, Brian.
Speaker 1: The Eagles secondary did not match up well physically in
Speaker 1: terms of just playing physical football against Vincent Jackson and
Speaker 1: Evan Mike Evans. Well, it's a tough matchup for those guys.
Speaker 1: Any any quarterbacks in this league. It's a tough matchup
Speaker 1: with those two guys about six five. I think the
Speaker 1: key to the game, I thought going into the game
Speaker 1: was getting pressure on Jameis Winson, making sure that he
Speaker 1: never got comfortable in the pocket, making sure that as
Speaker 1: a rookie you're seeing ghosts, all those types of things.
Speaker 1: We never quite got to him the way that we
Speaker 1: should have. I know Thurman had the one sack, but
Speaker 1: I think we should have did a better job of
Speaker 1: getting to Jameis Winson trying to disrupt him at some
Speaker 1: point he had five touchdowns. We have to get to
Speaker 1: the quarterback, especially if we're gonna allow them to run
Speaker 1: the ball up and down the field. And you got
Speaker 1: Megatron waiting on Thursday. How do you match up against Megatron?
Speaker 1: You double them, I mean the only way that you know.
Speaker 1: So this is the thing. Going into this last game
Speaker 1: against the Bucks, I thought, Okay, we can handle we
Speaker 1: can handle Doug Mark. We don't have to worry so
Speaker 1: much about him, but we have to stop Mike Evans
Speaker 1: and Vincent Jackson. Unfortunately for us, we allowed the Bucks
Speaker 1: to be two dimensional. I think what we have to
Speaker 1: do against Detroit is make them one dimension. We can't
Speaker 1: allow the running game to get going, but then we
Speaker 1: had to be able to double Calvin Johnson if anything right.
Speaker 1: There's also the pride factor here, and this Eagles defense
Speaker 1: has been questioned by the media, by the fans in
Speaker 1: the day since the game for their efforts, for their passion,
Speaker 1: for their physical play. Do you expect to see maybe
Speaker 1: a different mentality from the defense on Thursday? Well, of course,
Speaker 1: if I'm Billy Davis, I'm going into that defensive room,
Speaker 1: and the first thing I'm saying is everybody's questioning you.
Speaker 1: We brought you guys here for a reason. We expect
Speaker 1: better play from you, but we at least give me something.
Speaker 1: Show me some effort, show me some pride, show me
Speaker 1: that it that you all have that that made you
Speaker 1: start us on this football team. I think that's one
Speaker 1: thing that you can control. You can control your effort,
Speaker 1: you can control your pride. Maybe you're in the wrong gaps,
Speaker 1: maybe you're not doing the right assignments, but the effort
Speaker 1: is one thing that you can't ever shouldn't be ever
Speaker 1: be questioned and for this defense. It's been questioned this
Speaker 1: past week. I think the one thing that we should
Speaker 1: expect from this defense a pride for group, a pride
Speaker 1: for defensive line, a collective group of guys that can
Speaker 1: play hard those football I think these guys come out
Speaker 1: and play hard on Thursday. We'll talk about that a
Speaker 1: lot more in the next segment. The Eagles a place
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day against Detroit. Of course, Chip Kelly saying
Speaker 1: there will be no personnel changes between now and Thursday's
Speaker 1: game unless Sam Bradford gets healthy. But nobody will be bench.
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna be cut. So the Eagles will try to
Speaker 1: regroup from within and get back on track in the
Speaker 1: NFC East. I know it sounds absurd, but the Eagles
Speaker 1: still just one game away from the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about team character, team resilience, team leadership up
Speaker 1: next on Eagles three sixty. It's game day in America.
Speaker 1: Across the country, fans are watching football in a whole

Speaker 1: We welcome me back, Dave Spideryo, Brian Westbrook, Eagles three
Speaker 1: sixty here from the Overcare Complex, our Xfinity studio. We
Speaker 1: sat here two weeks ago, brand new studio, brand new optimism.
Speaker 1: Eagles coming off a huge win against the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: in overtime, coming back to Lincoln Financial Field for two
Speaker 1: games against last place teams at the time, the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and we thought this is
Speaker 1: the time to make a run. Yea, Eagles didn't make
Speaker 1: a run. What's I tell you? It's telling me that
Speaker 1: we have some things that we probably need to fix.
Speaker 1: We have some personnel issues that we probably need to address.
Speaker 1: But also yeah, when we start questioning things and you
Speaker 1: have guys talking out in the media, I think we
Speaker 1: as a coach, you have to gather this team together
Speaker 1: one more time and say, listen, we still have a chance.
Speaker 1: We're still you know, our goals, they're still there, and
Speaker 1: as bad as it's been in an outside and we
Speaker 1: have to come together as a team and play collectively
Speaker 1: much better as a unit. That's what I would do
Speaker 1: if I was a head coach here, Brian doesn't come
Speaker 1: from the head coach. Is there's something when you were
Speaker 1: in that room that you wanted to hear from the
Speaker 1: head coach or is it something that you kind of
Speaker 1: just looked in the mirror and said, I need to
Speaker 1: do better. I need to be a better football player.
Speaker 1: I can't worry about the outside. I can't worry about
Speaker 1: the guy next to me. It's on me to help
Speaker 1: make this team better. Well, I think it's a combination
Speaker 1: of both of those things. First, I want to hear
Speaker 1: from the head coach. Then at some point the players
Speaker 1: have to say, you know what, I don't really care
Speaker 1: what the coach is saying. We're brothers, We're in here together.
Speaker 1: We've been here since August with training camp, We've gone
Speaker 1: through all the mini camps, and it doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: the coaches. We have the ability to go out through
Speaker 1: the field and put our brand of football on the
Speaker 1: tape on the field every Sunday, even Thursday this week.
Speaker 1: I think it's really incumbent on the players to make
Speaker 1: sure that they handled their business. A lot of the
Speaker 1: coaches to handle their business, but the players have to
Speaker 1: handle their business as well. When it happened in two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight after the Eagles lost in Baltimore, Johnovan
Speaker 1: McNabb gets benched in the Eagles prepared for the Thursday
Speaker 1: game against Arizona Cardinals. What was it like in the
Speaker 1: locker room? Did leaders like yourself step up and dressed
Speaker 1: the team wasn't done in a more collective quiet basis?
Speaker 1: Was Andy Reid more visible? What happened? Well, Andy Reid
Speaker 1: didn't change very much, but he expected He let us
Speaker 1: know that his expectations from us were much higher than
Speaker 1: what we actually put on the field. But what the
Speaker 1: players did on the practice field was the real thing
Speaker 1: that spoke volumes. Those mediocre efforts, they weren't acceptable. Those
Speaker 1: guys not running balls out, they weren't acceptable. Drop passes,
Speaker 1: those aren't accepted. To sol The thing that has to
Speaker 1: be done in practice by the team, not necessarily the coaches,
Speaker 1: but by the team is they have to strive for
Speaker 1: perfection every single day in practice, and if they're not perfect,
Speaker 1: then you have to do it again. That's what the
Speaker 1: team should be striving for. That's what the team should
Speaker 1: be looking forward to doing. And if they don't do that,
Speaker 1: the nerd actually fooling themselves thinking that they're going to
Speaker 1: be better than they were. That was a five to
Speaker 1: five and one team heading into that Thursday night game,
Speaker 1: and this guy had four touchdown runs. It was a
Speaker 1: good game. Ah yeah, humble Pie and the Eagles ended
Speaker 1: up going to the NFC Championship Game. So stranger things
Speaker 1: have happened. We've got one segment more on Eagles three sixty.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the bounce back physically after a
Speaker 1: tough game on Sunday. We'll be right back. Duncan's new

Speaker 1: Dave Spidero. Brian Westbrook Eagles three sixty here on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot Com to me question, Brian. You've had a
Speaker 1: bad game. The talent is angry, the media is coming
Speaker 1: after you, friends are upset. Not a pleasant feeling in
Speaker 1: the building. Better to play on a Thursday and out
Speaker 1: of town this week, you think much better, much better.
Speaker 1: You want to get back on that field as quickly
Speaker 1: as possible because you have to right this ship. You
Speaker 1: have to figure out a way to make this thing right.
Speaker 1: You had a great chance and a great opportunity to
Speaker 1: the last two games, and you kind of spoiled in
Speaker 1: to waste those opportunities. Now you play on Thursday, in
Speaker 1: front of everybody, everybody's watching. You have a chance against
Speaker 1: a team that's not very good, that's not playing very well.
Speaker 1: They won a couple of games, there's still not a
Speaker 1: talented team, and so for the Eagles, you have to
Speaker 1: come out strong, start fast, and finish strong. If you're
Speaker 1: able to do that, then you have a good chance
Speaker 1: of winning. How do you get your body back physically,
Speaker 1: I know it's such a tough, tremendous toil on Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of ice baths, some massages, things like that.
Speaker 1: You have to do everything you can, eating healthy, just
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. Get in the training room and
Speaker 1: get with the doctors and get what the trainers. Make
Speaker 1: sure that you're one hundred percent healthy or as close
Speaker 1: to one hundred percent that you can be for the game.
Speaker 1: And they're gonna be story just like your story. So
Speaker 1: you should expect the same type of thing. Every game
Speaker 1: means everything your feelings on the importance of this game, Brian.
Speaker 1: Anytime that you lose two games in a row, that
Speaker 1: next game, that next opportunity that you're able to get
Speaker 1: out in the field to try to win a game.
Speaker 1: You want to show all those things that you weren't
Speaker 1: able to show those last couple of games. The effort,
Speaker 1: the emotion that the satisfaction of making big plays, a
Speaker 1: collective group effort. That's what you want to put on
Speaker 1: the field on Thursday, Detroit on Thursday and then at
Speaker 1: New England, Buffalo at home. I mean it is a
Speaker 1: it is a tough schedule. When you look at the
Speaker 1: last month of this season, it is very difficult for
Speaker 1: this football team. Well, if they want to make it
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and they want to win those games,
Speaker 1: they have to come together as a team. And now
Speaker 1: I think they have an opportunity to do that. But
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a tough row. That's how it
Speaker 1: goes in the NFL. Yeah, and if nothing is ever easy,
Speaker 1: and certainly has not been easy for the four and
Speaker 1: six Eagles this season. Our Amrosso's on the menu segment
