Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome the Eagles. Three sixty on this
Speaker 1: Monday gave the Darrow Eagles Insider along with the Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer Ryan Westbrook, and we're here to talk about
Speaker 1: the Eagles tough loss on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium twenty
Speaker 1: seven to twenty many components going into this when Brian
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about all of them. Your overall take
Speaker 1: from the game, you know, tough gang. You know, I
Speaker 1: think the team fought pretty well, but you have to
Speaker 1: try to find a way to win those games. And
Speaker 1: they didn't find that way to win, and you know,
Speaker 1: you learn from it and you move on. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Last year it was that kind of season,
Speaker 1: losing close games. At some point here, Doug Peterson, they
Speaker 1: want to they know they have to win those kinds
Speaker 1: of people. Did it the week before in Washington. Didn't
Speaker 1: happen against a better Kansas City team. It's a maturation process.
Speaker 1: And anytime you go into someone's house and you make
Speaker 1: those types of mistakes, critical mistakes at critical parts of
Speaker 1: the field, it's going to be hard to win. The
Speaker 1: Eagles team has to learn that lesson that they want
Speaker 1: to win those games, those tight, close games. In the future.
Speaker 1: All right, So we're gonna talk about all three phases
Speaker 1: of the game. We're going to break down some of
Speaker 1: the big plays of the game as well here on
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. But we begin with a conversation about
Speaker 1: the offense, and this is brought to you by Golden
Speaker 1: Nugget where Philadelphia gets engaged. All Right, the offense, Brian,
Speaker 1: we see it. We've talked about it, the coach, They've
Speaker 1: talked about it. Le Garrett Blunt had a bunch of
Speaker 1: reporters around him after the game at Arrowhead Stadium. Two questions,
Speaker 1: the run game, where is it? And then how long
Speaker 1: can you expose Carson Wentz to so many big hits?
Speaker 1: You know, it is funny because I feel like I've
Speaker 1: lived through this in my past, like when I was playing.
Speaker 1: I lived through a situation where Andy Ree wasn't committed
Speaker 1: to the run at certain points in my career. And
Speaker 1: the first thing about the run game is that you
Speaker 1: have to have the guys up front that are willing
Speaker 1: to block in their effective blocking. So you have to
Speaker 1: win in the trenches. Yesterday they did not win the
Speaker 1: war in the trenches. We have to find a way,
Speaker 1: a better way to win that war. Second of all,
Speaker 1: you have to have the running backs. They have patience
Speaker 1: and they also have some burst through the holes. I
Speaker 1: think yesterday are running backs in the limited opportunities that
Speaker 1: they had, they need to show a little bit more
Speaker 1: patience and a little bit more bursts. And you combine
Speaker 1: all those three things together, the commitment to the run,
Speaker 1: better blocking up front, and better running from your running backs,
Speaker 1: and then you have a running game. We didn't get
Speaker 1: much of any of those three yesterday. Can you establish
Speaker 1: a mindset a commitment during a week of practice. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're getting ready here for the New York Giants and
Speaker 1: their great defense. During this week of practice, what can
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson do to kind of create that physical we're
Speaker 1: going to run the football mindset? Well, you have to,
Speaker 1: and I mean if you're gonna run a thousand plays
Speaker 1: at practice throughout the week, you need to run six
Speaker 1: hundred of those plays need to be run. Plays established.
Speaker 1: That tone, set the tone. You walk into that film
Speaker 1: room with your offensive the team and you say, listen,
Speaker 1: we're gonna run the ball no matter what if they
Speaker 1: put eight guys in the box, nine guys in the box.
Speaker 1: This is what we're gonna do No matter what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do in this game, we're gonna run the football,
Speaker 1: Be physical, be effective. That's the tone you have to set.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure Brian will talk about the Giants
Speaker 1: later in the week here, but I'm not sure that's
Speaker 1: what you want to do against Snacks Harrison and that
Speaker 1: really good Giants front. Another tough defensive, a team, physical
Speaker 1: team that wants to get after you. You have to
Speaker 1: set the tone. You still have to be committed and
Speaker 1: willing to run the football because you don't want a
Speaker 1: defense that's team off coming after your quarterback, your young
Speaker 1: quarterback throwing the ball forty plus times. You still have
Speaker 1: to be willing to run, even if it's not effective
Speaker 1: those two and three yard games. At some point you
Speaker 1: get a ten yard, at some point you get twenty yard.
Speaker 1: You have to be committed to it. Don't give up
Speaker 1: one or two early. Another part of the offense that
Speaker 1: the Eagles seem committed to but it hasn't been effective,
Speaker 1: is the screen game. And look, we've all watched you
Speaker 1: go through your career and have great success in the
Speaker 1: screen game. Darren sproles great success in the screen game.
Speaker 1: Friends sell it in the tight end screen at times
Speaker 1: has worked. This screen game struggling. What are you seeing? Yeah,
Speaker 1: if we're a running back, you have to be patient.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to sell that it's not
Speaker 1: a screen. You know, a lot of the teams understand
Speaker 1: what to do. Eagles do well. You put Darren Sproles
Speaker 1: back there. You screen the football, That's what that we
Speaker 1: do well. That's one thing that we do a lot of.
Speaker 1: So you have to be able to sell it that's
Speaker 1: not a screen. Then you meet your wide receivers and
Speaker 1: your offensive linement to do a good job down field
Speaker 1: throwing blocks. We haven't seen our running backs sell the
Speaker 1: screen very well. In our offensive linement as well as
Speaker 1: our wide receiver. They have to find a way to
Speaker 1: block better down the field. And we are talking about
Speaker 1: all these things that aren't going well for the Eagles offense,
Speaker 1: but there are stuff still a lot of things that
Speaker 1: are going well. Four hundred and six total net yards
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, better than fifty percentage of conversion on
Speaker 1: third downs again as they did in Washington. So there
Speaker 1: is Brian a lot to build on around here. And
Speaker 1: starts with number eleven. Your thoughts on him after two games,
Speaker 1: I think Carson has played well. There's some things that
Speaker 1: I think he needs to clean up. He has six
Speaker 1: sacks in his past game. Part of that, of course,
Speaker 1: is the offensive line blocking. Part of it is the
Speaker 1: running backs blocking, but also Carson he has to play
Speaker 1: a part in that as well. He has to be
Speaker 1: able to get the ball out of his hands, live
Speaker 1: to fight another day. Don't just try to take the
Speaker 1: ball down with you. Throw the ball away. That's okay,
Speaker 1: We'll go to second down to ten, We'll go to
Speaker 1: third down to ten. Just don't continue to take those sacks.
Speaker 1: He has to learn that as a young quarterback, and
Speaker 1: many young quarterbacks have the same problem. They stare down
Speaker 1: receivers and they hold onto the ball too long. I
Speaker 1: think Carson suffers from that just a little bit. Zach
Speaker 1: Ertz thirteen catches in two games. Alshon Jeffrey a touchdown catch.
Speaker 1: We'll dig into that a little bit later on. And
Speaker 1: then Tory Smith nearly cap that first drive with the
Speaker 1: back shoulder catch. I really felt if the Eagles could
Speaker 1: have taken a lead there, everything might have changed a bit.
Speaker 1: Anytime you can score, it's an a band as it
Speaker 1: changes the complexion of a game. Tory had that ball
Speaker 1: in his hands, he has to find a way. Veteran
Speaker 1: receiver that you're accounting on, he has to find a
Speaker 1: way to bring that in because at that point, now
Speaker 1: that takes the pressure off your offense and puts the
Speaker 1: pressure on the other team and your defense going to
Speaker 1: attack more. You wish you had that catch. So that
Speaker 1: is our breakdown of the Eagles offense in the twenty
Speaker 1: seven to twenty loss to Kansas City, brought to you
Speaker 1: by Golden Nugget, where Philly gets engaged. Later in the show,
Speaker 1: we will have a look at the defense and the
Speaker 1: special teams. But when we return to Eagles three sixty,
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell breaks down some of the big plays from
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, the good and maybe they're not so good.
Speaker 1: We're coming right back. This portion of Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: was presented by Rothman atte Jefferson. Eagles High School Football Showdown,

Speaker 1: Visit pgworks dot com. We're back at the Eagles three
Speaker 1: sixty days Fiderry O'Brian Westbrook. Time now for us to
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the players from Sunday
Speaker 1: that defined the game. Fran Duffy and Greg Cosell are
Speaker 1: all twenty two review the first play. We want to
Speaker 1: look at the al Sean Jeffrey touchdown, a catch and
Speaker 1: a scramble for the end zone. All right, Greg, Let's
Speaker 1: fast forward now to mid third quarter and the Eagles
Speaker 1: really put together a great drive. Carson Wentz five for
Speaker 1: five sixty nine yards. All four of his completions to
Speaker 1: start the drive were for first downs, and then we
Speaker 1: get to this completion a touchdown past alshon Jeffrey. We
Speaker 1: were feeling pretty good at this point fan about the
Speaker 1: Eagles chances to win this game, and Wentz was very
Speaker 1: sharp today. And now we're dealing with Jeffrey. Who here
Speaker 1: he's actually in this slot and he's matched against Philip Gaines.
Speaker 1: And this is what you're hoping from Alshon Jeffrey. This
Speaker 1: is the kind of receiver he is. He runs what
Speaker 1: we call a slot fade, and it's really the kind
Speaker 1: of route and kind of throw that's usually contested. You're
Speaker 1: not running away from a corner, and if you freeze
Speaker 1: it right here, what you're going to see. This is
Speaker 1: not bad coverage by Philip Gaines. Jeffrey look back for
Speaker 1: the ball. Games look back for the ball. So this
Speaker 1: is not a case where he's separating and he's wide open.
Speaker 1: But this is what alse Sean Jeffrey is. He's the
Speaker 1: kind of receiver that can make catches when the corner
Speaker 1: is right there with him. And that's exactly what happens here.
Speaker 1: And it's a good throw too, by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can go back. This is a very similar play
Speaker 1: to when Carson Wentz hit Jordan Matthews for his first
Speaker 1: ever NFL touchdowns. That a st the slot fade. And
Speaker 1: one of the good things about that slot fade the
Speaker 1: receiver's got so much room and the quarterback's got so
Speaker 1: much room towards the sideline to be able to put
Speaker 1: this ball and he puts it right on Alshan Jeffery's
Speaker 1: back shoulder and you see him come on. It's a
Speaker 1: really good route against man to man coverage because normally
Speaker 1: when you're in the slot, the outside receiver runs kind
Speaker 1: of a hitch and it opens the space for the
Speaker 1: slot fade and you see it here. And as we said,
Speaker 1: that's what Alshon Jeffrey is. He's a big receiver, he's
Speaker 1: a physical receiver. He's, as they like to say now,
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty catch guy. He makes contested catches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and someone we like to say that some of those
Speaker 1: fifty fifty balls with Alston not quite fifty fifty one,
Speaker 1: seventy five, eighty twenty. Well, we'd like to hope that's
Speaker 1: the question about it. So Alston Jeffrey really getting on
Speaker 1: the same page as Carson Wentz. Big day for the
Speaker 1: big receiver. Thanks very much, guys, Brian. We see there
Speaker 1: that Alshon Jeffrey uses the big body, uses the wingspan,
Speaker 1: very impressive slot fade. Well, that's what you bring him
Speaker 1: here for. You're bringing Alexeon in here so he can
Speaker 1: catch testdowns. He's a big body, he's a guy that
Speaker 1: has to use that body effectively, and I think he
Speaker 1: did a really good job there. But you also see
Speaker 1: the timing from the quarterback. You see the accurate pass,
Speaker 1: those back shoulder throws, the slot fade, all those types
Speaker 1: of things. It's about continuity. It's about Carson Wentz with
Speaker 1: his receivers trying to find a way to get it done.
Speaker 1: That was a great throw and a great kit and
Speaker 1: obviously when the defender is over the top, you look
Speaker 1: for that back shoulder throw and they executed it very well.
Speaker 1: Our second play all twenty two at this time went
Speaker 1: in the favor of the Kansas City Chiefs in the
Speaker 1: red zone. This time it was Alex Smith to Travis
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Greg to wrap this all up. We know
Speaker 1: one of the hallmark players of the Andy Reid era
Speaker 1: here in Philadelphia was the shovel pass, especially they got
Speaker 1: down near the goal line. Brian Westbrook, Correll buck hal
Speaker 1: to remember so many big players JS Stanley touchdown catches
Speaker 1: on the goal line with the shovel pass, and they
Speaker 1: went back to it today. Travis Kelsey was the target
Speaker 1: here as it helped clinch the victory for the Chiefs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is when you watch the Chiefs, and
Speaker 1: this goes back to last season, they started to really
Speaker 1: add to it once Tyree Hill became a factor in
Speaker 1: their offense. A lot more backfield action which causes hesitation
Speaker 1: for the defense. But it's the same basic shovel pass.
Speaker 1: So it becomes a shovel pass with a lot of
Speaker 1: window dressing. But all that window dressing, all that backfield
Speaker 1: action causes a little bit of hesitation and uncertainty in
Speaker 1: the defense. Yeah, because really what it does is it
Speaker 1: puts your linebackers and your safeties in a bind. And
Speaker 1: you could see in motion here Tyree Hill, who has
Speaker 1: moved back and forth pre snap before this play, He's
Speaker 1: running from the defense is right to be jet sweep
Speaker 1: right now, it could be a jet suite. Now. The
Speaker 1: other thing too, that in talking with former Egels that
Speaker 1: played during that time, I remember talking with Dan Kleco
Speaker 1: a few years ago and he told me one of
Speaker 1: the big things that they harped on each and every
Speaker 1: time they ran in this play, they're his guy. If
Speaker 1: the shovel's coming this way, we have got to get
Speaker 1: some kind of action flaring out to this side. And
Speaker 1: they get that with the outside zone action here, yes,
Speaker 1: from the run game. And while that's going to do,
Speaker 1: it allows them to not have to block, to worry
Speaker 1: about this defensive end and get this linebacker sold the
Speaker 1: other way. Now, if you're Nigel Bradham here, you've got
Speaker 1: Tyree killing one way, you've got Kareem Hunt going the other.
Speaker 1: It really puts you in a bond. Yeah, you're thinking
Speaker 1: outside zone if you're Bradham, and obviously I think that's
Speaker 1: Derek Barnett, is it. Yeah, that's bread So Barnett right now,
Speaker 1: like you said, you're trying to create a situation where
Speaker 1: you don't have to block people because ultimately you want
Speaker 1: to move up the field to block it. And let's
Speaker 1: let's run this play a little bit here. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, there's Kelsey right over there and he's going
Speaker 1: to be the one who gets the shovel pass. So
Speaker 1: look what you get right now as right here, which
Speaker 1: is perfect, perfect because now you have Barnett's not blocked
Speaker 1: and you had brid I'm taking out a position from
Speaker 1: the outside zone action. Look at this alley now that
Speaker 1: he's gone to the right. Here is the double team
Speaker 1: on the down block. And look at the hole. I mean,
Speaker 1: so this is set up beautifully with all the backfield actions.
Speaker 1: So you take a basic play a shovel pass in
Speaker 1: a lot of playbooks in the NFL, and you add
Speaker 1: two backfield actions to it and it creates a huge hole.
Speaker 1: Thanks very much, Fran and Greg Brian. We've seen the
Speaker 1: shovel pass over the years. Here you had great success
Speaker 1: with it. What is the key to making it work? Well,
Speaker 1: First of all, the shovel pass is either you make
Speaker 1: the play and it's gonna score a touchdown or you're
Speaker 1: gonna get blown up. And so I always feared this
Speaker 1: play because if the defense guess is right and they
Speaker 1: understand the play, I'm looking back at the quarterback I'm
Speaker 1: catching the ball and I'm gonna get blasted in the face.
Speaker 1: And so Andy Reid did a great job of disguising
Speaker 1: the play. So he he has guys going in motion,
Speaker 1: he has guys crossing the formation. Then you have Kelsey underneath,
Speaker 1: kind of dragging underneath near the offensive line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: and he's catching the ball. The defense can't see him.
Speaker 1: There's like a trap block for him built in there.
Speaker 1: It's a great play because you're putting the defense in
Speaker 1: the bind. They have to respect the motion. They also
Speaker 1: have to respect the quarterbacks ability to scramble, and you
Speaker 1: bring Kelsey right underneath. It's a great design. Andy Reid
Speaker 1: has added some extra wrinkles to the play with guys
Speaker 1: going to motion and moving around in the formation. The
Speaker 1: same exact play that we've ran a million times here, right,
Speaker 1: and me and Andy were together in theory it is
Speaker 1: in Peterson's playbook. It a little bit who would be
Speaker 1: the ideal receiver in that situation. I still think you
Speaker 1: could do the same thing ERTs as you do with
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. I think you can use Nelson Aguilar. I
Speaker 1: think you can use Sprows. No one would be able
Speaker 1: to see sprows behind the line of scrimmage at all,
Speaker 1: and so we have plenty of guys that can do it.
Speaker 1: Now it's about calling those plays, getting yourself in the
Speaker 1: position to call those plays. It's partly does job. Should
Speaker 1: you ever turn it into a shovel fade? Well, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what what you can do is fake it.
Speaker 1: You had the option to throw the shovel pass, and
Speaker 1: defenses begins to play the shovel pass when you're in
Speaker 1: that position, and then you throw the ball up. It
Speaker 1: may not be a fade, but there is a pass
Speaker 1: off of that same action that you can possibly throw
Speaker 1: shovel fade. So I'm trying to get to the next generation.
Speaker 1: Marfore you can do slot fade. Here you go, all right? There?
Speaker 1: You good? All right, that's our look at those plays
Speaker 1: all twenty two things too great, Cosel and fran Duffy.
Speaker 1: We've got one more segment to go here on Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty. We look at the defense and there's special teams,
Speaker 1: a lot of good from those two, but also some
Speaker 1: questions that we have answers for when we return to
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. This portion of Eagles three sixty was
Speaker 1: presented by McDonald's. McDonald's introduces the new signature crafted Saracha sandwich,
Speaker 1: made with a new Saracha Max sauce and a kickoff spice.
Speaker 1: So you love your game, so does he. You say,
Speaker 1: ain't nobody gonna work harder? He said the same thing.
Speaker 1: You get an hour of training in before the sun
Speaker 1: even comes up. Plenty of early rises out there. You
Speaker 1: got the gear, They got the gear. You got a
Speaker 1: secret weapon. This dude doesn't need water. See, this isn't
Speaker 1: just a game at inches. This is a game of ounces,
Speaker 1: and the next ounce you give might just be the
Speaker 1: one the other guy doesn't. Gatorade, rehydrate, replenish, and refuel.

Speaker 1: We welcome you back three sixty from the Novicare Complex.
Speaker 1: Davis Videy, O'Brien Westbrook. We've talked about the offense, We've
Speaker 1: broken down some plays. Now we talk about the defense
Speaker 1: and the special teams from Sunday's loss in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: All in all, Brian, the defense played well, not great
Speaker 1: because no takeaways and the fifty three yard run by
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt was a big one to give up. But
Speaker 1: this team is coming. They're bringing. If they're playing physical,
Speaker 1: they're playing passionate, and that front seven at times is
Speaker 1: really dominating well coming into the season. The only way
Speaker 1: that this defense is going to be effective is at
Speaker 1: the front four of the front seven do a great
Speaker 1: job of getting after the quarterback. Now, I think yesterday
Speaker 1: was a great example of exactly what Jim Schwartz wants.
Speaker 1: He wants guys to be aggressive. They were, They were
Speaker 1: getting out there. Alex Smith there were so many times
Speaker 1: that he was not comfortable in the pocket, same as
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins wasn't comfortable the week before. And so the
Speaker 1: front four of the front seventh they did a great job. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: they were put in two bad situations because of turnovers
Speaker 1: fumble interception as well. They had their back to the
Speaker 1: goal line, they gave up ten points. That's an unfortunate
Speaker 1: assistant situation. Offense and special teams have to do a
Speaker 1: better job of not putting them in that situation. And Brian,
Speaker 1: the Eagles did it without you know, Rodny McCleod went out,
Speaker 1: Jalen Watkins went out already without Derby, Ronald Derby out.
Speaker 1: So they're showing some depth on defense that maybe we
Speaker 1: didn't think was there. Resiliency. You also have a coordinator
Speaker 1: that plays a big part in that, putting guys in
Speaker 1: the right position, making sure that guys are playing to
Speaker 1: their strengths. I think Jim Sports did so far this
Speaker 1: season has done a great job of making guys making
Speaker 1: sure that the guys are not outside of their comfort zone.
Speaker 1: That's a big part of the offensive coordinator as well
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinated job putting guys in the right position,
Speaker 1: allowing them to play to their sprint. You know, the
Speaker 1: one play that really kind of encapsualized the day, third
Speaker 1: and four for the Chiefs late in the game, Vinny
Speaker 1: Curry bears down on Alex Smith and missed him. Smith
Speaker 1: scrambles for five yards, keeps the drive alive. A sack
Speaker 1: there might have taken the Chiefs out of field goal range.
Speaker 1: Vinny's got to finish better in the coaches have talked
Speaker 1: about that, how do you finish better as a defensive
Speaker 1: linements missed opportunities in big situation, you have to be
Speaker 1: able to wrap up the most important thing for a
Speaker 1: defensive end when you get in there unblocked. You have
Speaker 1: to make sure the quarterback is down to the ground.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be pretty. You have to get
Speaker 1: them down third down. If you can't fish on third down,
Speaker 1: get off the field, then you're not going to be
Speaker 1: completing the day the way that you want to. For
Speaker 1: a defense, get off the field. That's the biggest thing
Speaker 1: on special teams. Brian New kicker Jake Elliott missing a
Speaker 1: thirty yard field goal making two others kickoffs were fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no excuse for missing a thirty yard
Speaker 1: it was a chip shot of chip shots. When you're
Speaker 1: on the road and the hostile environment against a very
Speaker 1: good football team, world coached team, you have to take
Speaker 1: advantage of every opportunity. You miss a field goal that hurts,
Speaker 1: you drop out, and you fumble the punt that hurts
Speaker 1: as well. These are are mistakes that you cannot absolutely
Speaker 1: make at all on the road. Inspect to win a
Speaker 1: game six points in that instance there, well, you never
Speaker 1: know how it would have worked out. And Darren Sproles
Speaker 1: fumbling when the long snapper got down the field and
Speaker 1: forced it. I mean, that's a that is a freak.
Speaker 1: That's a that's an eclipse of the sun kind of play.
Speaker 1: That's much better than that. That's not going to happen again.
Speaker 1: But in general, coverage was pretty good. One kickoff return
Speaker 1: from Kansas City that was big, and so we're still
Speaker 1: waiting for that big return from the Eagles some time.
Speaker 1: To get guys going, making sure the blocking lings are there.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be there. They have some good returns,
Speaker 1: We have some good returns. We just have to make
Speaker 1: sure that we block it up to run the ball out.
Speaker 1: So what's ahead for you here on Philadelphia Eagles dot
Speaker 1: com and our official appets Now our Emiroso's on the menu. Look,
Speaker 1: we've got head coach Doug Peterson in studio on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Chiefs and the challenge ahead, the
Speaker 1: New York Giants coming to town, Glenn mac now his
Speaker 1: takeaways from the loss in Kansas City, and quarterbacks coach
Speaker 1: John d Philippo breaking it down here in studio. Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz playing very well. So that's coming your way on
Speaker 1: Tuesday with me. That's our Amirosos on the menu. Look
Speaker 1: at what's ahead, Brian, it's the New York Giants. I
Speaker 1: know you've had great success against the Giants. I know
Speaker 1: you have a great affection and love for them. The
Speaker 1: rivalry you love to hate them is what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get to. How is that rivalry? You know they're
Speaker 1: right up the rivals. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys weren't very good when we were playing. When
Speaker 1: I was playing, the Giants certainly was our rival. It's
Speaker 1: a team that we just love to hate. Like you
Speaker 1: mentioned they we always would go back and forth with them.
Speaker 1: But every time we went up there to the meadow
Speaker 1: Lands at the time when they came here, we wanted
Speaker 1: to take advantage of them, and we did. Eli Manning interesting,
Speaker 1: great durability, two Super Bowls, all the respect for that.
Speaker 1: But when you're watching play now, any hint of pressure
Speaker 1: and he's going down Eagles defensive line again, familiar refrain
Speaker 1: has to dominate. There's no doubt about it. Without Odell
Speaker 1: Beckma Junior, he's a different type of quarterback. You don't
Speaker 1: have that playmaker. He's willing to throw the ball to
Speaker 1: the other team, and so that pressure. But from the
Speaker 1: front four front seven is going to be critical to
Speaker 1: get into victory this week. Brian Westbrook, Dave Spidero, we
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us here on Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: on this Monday. Eagles looking to bounce back next week
Speaker 1: in the home opener against the Giants. Thanks for joining us. Everyone,
Speaker 1: have yourselves a great Eagles Day
