Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome to Eagles three sixty Eagles insider Dave's
Speaker 1: but Darrell along with Glenn mac Now big day today.
Speaker 1: We've got Glenn's predictions. No, we've got his bold predictions.
Speaker 1: We've got we've got the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: Merrill Race coming into the studio. But let's talk first
Speaker 1: Glenn about a funny thing happened on the way to
Speaker 1: three and three. The Eagles were supposed to be this
Speaker 1: offensive juggernaut from the jump. Instead it's the defense leading
Speaker 1: the way. Your take on this is the defense for real? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it is for real. And I think it's
Speaker 1: for real because you've gotten really solid performances from guys
Speaker 1: you didn't know. We're going to give him to you.
Speaker 1: I think number one, you go with Jordan Hicks, the
Speaker 1: rookie is a guy he was forced into a starting position.
Speaker 1: Look at how good he's been, beget been. We keep
Speaker 1: waiting for the game where he doesn't have it. Ten
Speaker 1: tackles against the Giants was terrific. I also think that
Speaker 1: Byron Maxwell has recovered from his early start and he's
Speaker 1: gotten it back. He is not Nambi awesome Law. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be Okay, Yeah, the safeties have been great and
Speaker 1: that may be a little bit of a surprise at
Speaker 1: least in one case, and that defensive line has been
Speaker 1: terrific throughout. I buried the lead. Fletcher Cox is probably
Speaker 1: one of the six eight best defensive players in the
Speaker 1: league this year. Yeah. I agree with that all of it.
Speaker 1: And I think the Eagles have shown that their offseason
Speaker 1: attention to minimizing the ex plays, the pass plays of
Speaker 1: plus twenty yards, all of the investments they made in
Speaker 1: remaking the secondary using a third round draft pick Jordan Hicks,
Speaker 1: it's all paid off. And of course the challenge on
Speaker 1: Sunday Night is a different kind of one. So the
Speaker 1: Eagles getting ready for the Carolina Panthers Sunday Night football,
Speaker 1: and it's time to talk about what's going on if
Speaker 1: an Overcare Complex Today, Chip Kelly meeting the media our
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi, everyone, I'm
Speaker 1: Alex Smith here with your three sixty update. It was
Speaker 1: another day of practice here at the Novercare Complex for
Speaker 1: the Eagles as they get set for Sunday night showdown
Speaker 1: with the Carolina Panthers. Today we heard from head coach
Speaker 1: to Chip Kelly on the challenges of defending a different
Speaker 1: Cam Newton than this team saw last season. Again, I
Speaker 1: think Cam last year is different. Cam was coming off
Speaker 1: an ankle surgery, didn't wasn't really running. They weren't really
Speaker 1: running him that much. He's playing different this year. So
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I've set up before. I don't
Speaker 1: think a lot of the things we did last year
Speaker 1: are really we're going to be doing this ship. So,
Speaker 1: we also heard from Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford, who spoke
Speaker 1: about getting back to the fundamentals when it comes to
Speaker 1: improving on his accuracy. Yeah, I think it's it's been mechanical,
Speaker 1: you know. Me and coach today talked about it a
Speaker 1: little bit this week. You know, I'm not sure my
Speaker 1: weight transfer has been where it should be. On a
Speaker 1: couple of the throws, I'm not sure I've really gotten
Speaker 1: to my front leg I think that's why some of
Speaker 1: them had been short, you know. So I spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time this week trying to get back to
Speaker 1: the fundamentals. Inside the Eagles locker room, we caught up
Speaker 1: with running back to Marco Mary, who spoke about the
Speaker 1: eagles improved offensive game, specifically when it comes to running
Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, yeah, everybody's picking it up. You know.
Speaker 1: I think you know, everyone, like like I said, everyone
Speaker 1: has looked in the mirror and be like, hey, we
Speaker 1: gotta I have to play better. We have to play
Speaker 1: better as a group. And I think, you know, defense,
Speaker 1: they've been playing great, you know, all years, so I
Speaker 1: think it's time for offensively, we gotta you know, match
Speaker 1: their play. And you know, we all have to make plays,
Speaker 1: you know, when the time comes. That will wrap things
Speaker 1: up here from the novicare complex. If you want to
Speaker 1: see all of our coverage from today, including the entire
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford press conference, be sure to stay tuned right

Speaker 1: In a bit we'll get to Merrill Reesey comes into studio.
Speaker 1: We'll take a little peek at Brandon Graham, who you
Speaker 1: do not mention talking about the defensive progress report on him.
Speaker 1: But when we return to Eagles three sixty, we go

Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. Dave Spidero, Glenn mcnow, A lot of
Speaker 1: voices in my head always, Oh, he's in my head.
Speaker 1: Time to go behind enemy Lines? Chris McPherson with Mick Mixon,
Speaker 1: the play by play voice of the Carolina Panthers. Are
Speaker 1: they for real? Ature scenes like it? It's time to
Speaker 1: go behind enemy Lines here on Philadelphi Eagles dot Com
Speaker 1: presented by Gatorade, and we welcome the voice of the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers one, Mick Mixon and Mick. I guess I
Speaker 1: should say the undefeated NFC South leading Carolina Panthers Now, Mick.
Speaker 1: I found it fascinating. I found this staff from Football
Speaker 1: Outsiders that said that Sunday's win over the Seahawks was
Speaker 1: the first in the Cam Newton Ron Rivera regime that
Speaker 1: the team came from behind for more than three points
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter to get the win. So I
Speaker 1: don't want to say that this was a statement game
Speaker 1: person by Cam Newton, but from someone who has followed
Speaker 1: his career intently, what did you learn about Cam Newton
Speaker 1: in that comfort behind win over Seattle? Chris, thanks for
Speaker 1: having me on. It's great to be with you. And
Speaker 1: I realized that anything I say Kennon probably will be
Speaker 1: used against the Carolina Panthers in Philadelphia really will. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: you choose my words carefully. But here's what the Seattle
Speaker 1: game kind of verified in the coach's minds. Here in
Speaker 1: the Carolina's about Cameron Jorelle Newton our trigger man, and
Speaker 1: that is that when things are the most hectic, when
Speaker 1: everything is as colcofidous as it could possibly be, and
Speaker 1: when it matters the most, things tend to slow down
Speaker 1: for him. He tends to have the ability to sort
Speaker 1: things out and to concentrate very intently even when there's
Speaker 1: just crazy things going on. To the most significant plays
Speaker 1: in the Seattle game, we're big chunk plays for the Panthers.
Speaker 1: When Carolina was in disarray right up until two three
Speaker 1: seconds to go on the playclot Cam's able to get
Speaker 1: it sorted out and then makes some magic. I think
Speaker 1: it's just a part of who he's evolved into as
Speaker 1: a football player. Now, Nick, we saw Cam Newton leaguen
Speaker 1: in fights the field last season. He was battered and bruised,
Speaker 1: and the Eagles got an easy win in prime time.
Speaker 1: So in your estimation, what's the biggest difference between that
Speaker 1: Cam Newton on that night and that Cam Newton that
Speaker 1: the Eagles will see this Sunday. Yeah, it's a great question. Chris.
Speaker 1: One big thing would be that he's healthier now. You
Speaker 1: remember he had the glass ankle that game and wasn't
Speaker 1: very mobile, and I'm not sure any I'm not sure
Speaker 1: tinker Bell could have avoided the Philadelphia pass rush. She
Speaker 1: was very fierce that night. I think there were nine
Speaker 1: sacks of cam Newton in that game. Panthers fell behind
Speaker 1: early thirty one, seven out of it early and hoping
Speaker 1: to do better this time. Cam Newton told the press
Speaker 1: corps earlier in the week that he feels like a
Speaker 1: different guy from them, just in terms of how healthy
Speaker 1: he is. He could cut, he can pivot, he can
Speaker 1: prolong the play, he can make a little magic and
Speaker 1: hopefully that'll give him some escapability on Sunday night. Now, Mick,
Speaker 1: when the Panthers lost Calvin Benjamin, the talented second year
Speaker 1: receiver for the year, with the acail injury, I said
Speaker 1: to myself, and I think many anlist thought, who is
Speaker 1: going to catch the football down there in Carolina from
Speaker 1: the wide receiver standpoint, So, in your estimation, what is
Speaker 1: the coaching staff done to highlight the talents of the
Speaker 1: players around Cam Newton to give him the best chance
Speaker 1: to succeed on offense. One thing the Panthers are doing
Speaker 1: is spread the ball around. Mike Shula, our offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: Chris He's not scared. I mean, he'll call plays. He's
Speaker 1: not the kind of play caller where he's trying to
Speaker 1: protect what the Panthers may already have. He's trying to
Speaker 1: get more. He's a greedy kind of a play caller, unpredictable.
Speaker 1: And then Cam Newton has spread the ball around. He's
Speaker 1: got the veteran Jericho Cotchery, Brenton Berson that has reliable hands,
Speaker 1: Ted Gin Corey Brown that have great, great team speed.
Speaker 1: And then probably his favorite target. I gotta mention Devin
Speaker 1: Funches the rookie too, but his favorite target right now
Speaker 1: is the eighty eight Greg Olson. Greg Olson looks as
Speaker 1: though you just called Central Casting and said send us
Speaker 1: over a tight end, narrow waist, broad shoulders, dancers, feet,
Speaker 1: great route runners, good hands, son of a coach, and
Speaker 1: he's having a phenomenal year. All right, make let's look
Speaker 1: at the defensive side of the football. Now, this Panthers
Speaker 1: defensive line, you said, Greg Hardy, Once upon a time,
Speaker 1: Charles Johnson has done for the season with the injury,
Speaker 1: So what has the coaching staff? And of course we
Speaker 1: know the coaches here in Philadelphia, Ron Rivera and Sean
Speaker 1: McDermott used to be on Andy reidstaff. What have they
Speaker 1: done to keep that Panthers defense formidable and one of
Speaker 1: the best in the entire NFL. Probably Chris taking a
Speaker 1: route or two off of the Jim Johnson coaching tree
Speaker 1: and tried to be unpredictable, tried to not be risk
Speaker 1: averse but all but not just blitz in an irresponsible way.
Speaker 1: When the Panthers commit additional pass rushers to a play,
Speaker 1: they do that with a plan and with some defensive
Speaker 1: balance in the back end. The other thing is we
Speaker 1: got a good mixture of youth and experience up front.
Speaker 1: Dwan Edwards, a veteran interior lineman, Charles Johnson and his
Speaker 1: odometers turned over a time or two already by NFL standards.
Speaker 1: But then we got KK Short and Starlatuille in the
Speaker 1: middle that are so young still that they really don't
Speaker 1: know what they don't know. So it's a good group.
Speaker 1: And then of course in the middle, in between the
Speaker 1: secondary and the defensive line that you asked me about Chris.
Speaker 1: It's a star driven linebacking corps with Luke Keikley and
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis there. Now, of course, Mick, those are the stars,
Speaker 1: the playmakers, Keekley and Davis. But there's one player on
Speaker 1: the back end who has gained a little bit of
Speaker 1: fame so far this season. He could be in the
Speaker 1: mix for the Pro Bowl, and that's Josh Norman. The
Speaker 1: cornerback bands probably don't know a whole lot about him.
Speaker 1: What can you tell Eagles fans about Josh Norman number
Speaker 1: twenty four. He'll wear number twenty four exactly as you said, Chris.
Speaker 1: He's he's a long football player. His reaching height is
Speaker 1: much higher and taller than his six one playing height.
Speaker 1: He's got this effervescent personality. One of the worst things
Speaker 1: that happened to enemy receivers was two years ago when
Speaker 1: Josh Norman got his braces off, because now he's even
Speaker 1: more nimbly able to trash talk to anyone on the
Speaker 1: field who cares to listen. He doesn't in gender ill will.
Speaker 1: He just is a He's a talker. He just likes
Speaker 1: communicating with other receivers. But Josh Norman is a he
Speaker 1: played some strong safety in high school, so he's a
Speaker 1: willing tackler. He's also a studier of film. And he
Speaker 1: is the last person. I mean, he's wearing our interns
Speaker 1: out over on the football operations side because everybody has
Speaker 1: to take turns throw into him doing drills with him.
Speaker 1: He's got that work ethic end And Chris, he's the
Speaker 1: last person to leave every single pant of practice. All right.
Speaker 1: So the Eagles and Panthers will battle on Sunday Night football.
Speaker 1: Another interesting matchup to me will be the play by
Speaker 1: play voices. Of course, you have the legend in Merrill
Speaker 1: Reeese and a pretty good one in Carolina and Mick Mixon. Mick,
Speaker 1: thank you very much for taking us behind enemy lines
Speaker 1: presented by Gatorade here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much, Chris, Thanks so much, Mick. Everybody fired up
Speaker 1: about the Panthers in Carolina as well? They should be.
Speaker 1: You wonder looking down big crystal ball, Glenn, you got
Speaker 1: anything for us for what this week? Yeah? I am
Speaker 1: predicting a very very close game, Dave. I can't portray myself, right.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a challenging one for
Speaker 1: the Eagles to win. But they can. But I will
Speaker 1: give you three predictions. You're gonna like two of these
Speaker 1: bold predictions right here. Coming up on Eagles three six,
Speaker 1: A wave of game day excitement is rolling into Duncan.
Speaker 1: Taste the new Tailgator breakfast sandwich stacked with smoked sausage
Speaker 1: by our roasted peppers and onions America runs. I'm Duncan.
Speaker 1: I got tickets, Metro tickets. You need a Metro ticket?
Speaker 1: Talk to me, please. I don't even know these real tickets.
Speaker 1: If you know, I just didn't touch it. This leather legit.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do we really know? It looks good? Right? No,
Speaker 1: I'm paying myself. I gotta make pro. Does a 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 even ordinary moments
Speaker 1: become milestones when you've overcome cancer. At Jefferson's Sydney Kimmel
Speaker 1: Cancer Center, if we had a marker for every patient
Speaker 1: we treated is now cancer free. Markers would be everywhere
Speaker 1: evidence that our personalized approach to cancer treatment is producing
Speaker 1: some of the highest survival rates in the nation, and
Speaker 1: that's a milestone for everyone. Jefferson, until every cancer is cured.
Speaker 1: I scept to Philly. I sept the Philly, the bus,
Speaker 1: the trolley, regional rail. I sept to Philly, the seventeen
Speaker 1: to training rostret Line to my park boy, Margaret frankfort
Speaker 1: Line all nine love. The Eagles play the new instant
Speaker 1: game from the Pennsylvania Lottery. Players must be eighteen or older.
Speaker 1: Please play responsibly. It's time now on Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: for Glenn macnow to step out on that ledge and
Speaker 1: make some bold predictions. We welcome you back, like walking
Speaker 1: a planet. Glenn's got some bold predictions for the Eagles
Speaker 1: and the Panthers Monday night. The stage is all here
Speaker 1: you go, Dave number one. The Eagles are going to
Speaker 1: hold Cam Newton in the Carolina Panthers too under two
Speaker 1: hundred yards passing in this game, which these days in
Speaker 1: the NFL really does mean something. The Panthers really have
Speaker 1: one guy can catch the ball and hurt you. It's
Speaker 1: tight end Greg Olsen, who is terrific. Their wide receivers, however,
Speaker 1: are kind of nothing. They've got collectively under eighty yards
Speaker 1: per game receiving, so they are not going to hurt
Speaker 1: you with the pass. Cam Newton is not going to
Speaker 1: throw it for two hundred yards. Oh, what's so bold
Speaker 1: about that? Well, what's so bold about that is the
Speaker 1: Eagles have allowed more than two hundred yards most of
Speaker 1: these games and these days in the NFL that doesn't
Speaker 1: have All right, let's pick apart, all right, this one
Speaker 1: you'll like. This is bold. Cam Newton. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: throw it for a lot. He is going to lead
Speaker 1: the Panthers in running yards against the Eagles. Jonathan Stewart,
Speaker 1: of course, is they're running back. He's averaging about sixty
Speaker 1: yards a game. Newton's going to get more than that
Speaker 1: this week. And here's kind of why. When you have
Speaker 1: a good pass rush, as the Eagles do, and you
Speaker 1: have good coverage as they have, often a mobile quarterback,
Speaker 1: you know, is going to find that spot in the
Speaker 1: middle and he runs a lot, and he's going to
Speaker 1: do it against the Eagles this week, and he's going
Speaker 1: to get a lot of yards. Eagles have not faced
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks, So yeah, right, I find it. Look, I
Speaker 1: think it's fair enough to say Eagles have done a
Speaker 1: really good job against the run all season. Different kind
Speaker 1: of challenge, of course on Sunday Night, with the multiplicity
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton, I expect a spy or two and
Speaker 1: a lot of different looks from Bill Davis. I think
Speaker 1: that's a very accurate prediction. The Eagles match up so
Speaker 1: well up front against Caroline. Here's bold bold, Sam Bradford
Speaker 1: will throw no interceptions this week. None, not one. It's
Speaker 1: going to be built into the scheme. They are going
Speaker 1: to somehow accentuate that to him that he can't do it.
Speaker 1: You know what he's done. And this is kind of
Speaker 1: what the concern is. The interceptions he's been throwing so
Speaker 1: far this year are not ones where he's like trying
Speaker 1: to throw it through the eye of a needle, or
Speaker 1: not ones where the defensive backs may in a great play.
Speaker 1: He's kind of throwing it ten yards from where it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be. I think they're going to just push
Speaker 1: it into him, push it in and push it into him.
Speaker 1: And this week quarterback Sam no intercept, all right, So
Speaker 1: the Panthers won't pass for two hundred yards, correct, Bradford
Speaker 1: won't have an interception. Correct, And you still say it's
Speaker 1: a close game coming. Oh yeah, I think it's a
Speaker 1: close game coming. How How are the Panthers scoring points?
Speaker 1: How the Panthers are scoring points? Because I think he
Speaker 1: is going to hurt you in the running game. I
Speaker 1: think Cam Newton is going to scramble down the field
Speaker 1: and he's gonna do a lot of damage. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: by the way, low scoring game, all right, sounds sounds
Speaker 1: good to mean. We've got two more Glenn mcnow predictions
Speaker 1: coming your way on Sunday in our kickoff show. Make
Speaker 1: sure you tune in. We start that show at seven thirty.
Speaker 1: Thanks very much, Glenn for your two predictions. Three predictions,
Speaker 1: two of which I like. What two of which you
Speaker 1: counted because you know we can review. Well, we need
Speaker 1: to keep it. At the bye week. We're going to
Speaker 1: tally up these predictions and see just how we got
Speaker 1: better things. We got more all right, hey, we got
Speaker 1: better stuff to do. We got better stuff to do.
Speaker 1: And coming up on Eagles three sixty, we've got Merrill Reese,
Speaker 1: the voice of the play, voice of the philadel the Eagles,
Speaker 1: the play by play genius. He's in studio. What does
Speaker 1: he think about Cam Newton coming up next? 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: from here to there along with his entourage, you have

Speaker 1: are we there yet? No broadside assistance, not today, but

Speaker 1: Triple A helps you get there, so everyone's a winner.
Speaker 1: Start your journey at TRIPLEA dot Com carves to compete
Speaker 1: electrolytes to replenish everything you need to keep sweating. Time
Speaker 1: now to speak to the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: the Great Meryl Race, preparing like we all are for
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Maryland. I want to start with the quarterback superman,
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, European. We've had this conversation about Eli Manning
Speaker 1: last week. Good, not great, but Hall of Famer at
Speaker 1: this point in his career. What do you how do
Speaker 1: you characterize Cam Newton? Well, I think up until this point,
Speaker 1: he has been inconsistent. When he's good, he can be devastating.
Speaker 1: I mean, he can really dominate a game. But when
Speaker 1: he's bad, he can blow a game too. He's he's
Speaker 1: lost games by making bad decisions and holding onto the
Speaker 1: ball too long. But I would say that he is
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. I just think it's can we go
Speaker 1: deeper in this? Because I mean it's it's it's more
Speaker 1: of a of a He's such a different kind of
Speaker 1: quarterback now. He's averaging ten rushing attempts per game. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have a even good group of wide receivers to
Speaker 1: throw too. With Kelvin Benjamin, I find it as I
Speaker 1: think about what he is, I think he's a game
Speaker 1: changing player. Oh yeah, because there's so much reliant upon
Speaker 1: him and today, I guess I'd have to call him
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl quarterback given that the Panthers are five
Speaker 1: and old. But you do realize that his quarterback rate
Speaker 1: right now is barely over eighty. But like I said,
Speaker 1: you're giving me numbers that does but their numbers all right,
Speaker 1: their numbers at this point, and I'm not taking anything
Speaker 1: away from Carolina, Well maybe I am. They beat a
Speaker 1: Seattle team that we admit is not like the Seattle
Speaker 1: Super Bowl teams, but they're okay. But the other four
Speaker 1: teams that he be were Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Houston,
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. So can we really measure Cam Newton's performance
Speaker 1: on a season wide basis on these five games? I
Speaker 1: don't think we can. Before Cam Newton heads for Hawaii,
Speaker 1: He's got to do a lot more in the second
Speaker 1: half of the season. How about we raid him based
Speaker 1: upon the difficulty a defensive coordinator has, And maybe it's
Speaker 1: not that difficult game planning to stop Cam Newton. So
Speaker 1: let's segue into get into the mind of Bill Davis.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? And that's the case with any
Speaker 1: dual threat quarterback, and he's the first true dual threat
Speaker 1: quarterback that they're going to be facing. Breeze can run
Speaker 1: on a case, but not as much as he used to.
Speaker 1: What you do if you're Bill Davis as you go
Speaker 1: over what he did last year, which was spy him
Speaker 1: and it was Connor Barwin who really made the great
Speaker 1: plays on him and held him to six rushing yards
Speaker 1: and the Eagles sacked him nine times and they beat
Speaker 1: up the Carolina Panthers. Now you can make a case
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton had an ankle injury. He was not
Speaker 1: as as nimble and as quick or as fast as
Speaker 1: he normally is. He is a dangerous, dangerous quarterback, but
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles can come up with a scheme
Speaker 1: to contain him. And the thing that you pointed out
Speaker 1: so accurately is he does not have Marquee Names a
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He has a bunch of guys who are
Speaker 1: okay but certainly not scary. There are no Beckhams this week.
Speaker 1: You're not going to have to worry about that. But
Speaker 1: he still There's no Dez Bryant out there, So it's
Speaker 1: it's going to be a test, but I think it's
Speaker 1: one that the Eagles are capable of handling from the
Speaker 1: defensive standpoint. All right, let's now talk about the Eagles
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. It is the talk of the town. Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford nine touchdown passes, nine interceptions, four in the end zone.
Speaker 1: Your take through six games on Sam Bradford, Well, it's
Speaker 1: not good. I keep waiting to see the Sam Bradford
Speaker 1: that we expected to see. And I think that Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford is honest when he talks to the media. He
Speaker 1: speaks to us, and he says, for this team to
Speaker 1: do well, I have to play better. You can't put
Speaker 1: it up for grabs. You can't throw red zone interceptions.
Speaker 1: That has to cut out that. You know, as you said,
Speaker 1: nine and nine is a poor ratio for a quarterback
Speaker 1: who you are depending on to lead this team to
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So he needs ball security, he needs better
Speaker 1: decision making. What we've seen so far, so so far,
Speaker 1: it's not good enough. Hopefully it will pick up. I
Speaker 1: thought there was something going in the right direction with
Speaker 1: the win over these Saints, but there was a step
Speaker 1: backwards this week against the Giants. Hopefully we will see
Speaker 1: more of the quarterback we saw a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: minus those two ends on interceptions last one. Merril, your
Speaker 1: thoughts on how this game plays out Sunday night. I
Speaker 1: think the Eagles get off to a good start. They
Speaker 1: have to get off to a good start, and I
Speaker 1: think they're going to do very well against Cam Newton.
Speaker 1: And I think the Eagles are going to come home
Speaker 1: with their third win and hit the buy at four
Speaker 1: and three. Very nice. Merrill raised the Voice of the

Speaker 1: I sept the Philly, Thus the Trolley Regional Rail. I

Speaker 1: my part boy, marcaut Spankford Line all night enter at
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles dot com for a chance to win a
Speaker 1: pair of tickets in the Amiroso Sweet when the Eagles
Speaker 1: take on the Buffalo Bills at Lincoln Financial Field. We
Speaker 1: are back at Eagles three sixty Eagles insider Dave Spidero
Speaker 1: along with Glenn mcnell. He's here every Tuesday and Thursday
Speaker 1: during the season. Time now to take a look at
Speaker 1: one of the defensive players who signed a contract in
Speaker 1: the offseason stayed with the Eagles. Could have gone free
Speaker 1: agency instead stayed. He's a starter on the outside for
Speaker 1: the first time in his career, and he had a
Speaker 1: big game against the Giants. Are scouting report Mike Quick
Speaker 1: and I creased breakdown linebacker Brandon Graham. All right, Mike,
Speaker 1: our progress report brings us to outside linebacker Brandon Graham.
Speaker 1: I think he played by far his best game of
Speaker 1: a season. Nice job in the run game, also a
Speaker 1: nice job in the past game. Let's watch him here
Speaker 1: early first series. You're gonna watch him here. Got man coverage,
Speaker 1: nice little cross blitz from the front, five man pressure inside,
Speaker 1: everybody has their man on the back end. Nice job
Speaker 1: of Brandon Graham picking up the fullback in the flats
Speaker 1: like he's really settled into this position very well and
Speaker 1: doing a lot of things. Well, you see that little
Speaker 1: flat slant combination, and the joans do a lot of
Speaker 1: that from a lot of different person there, and he
Speaker 1: plays exactly right. Watch him here on this fourth and
Speaker 1: one play. His job on the outside is to set
Speaker 1: the edge. What I liked what Brandon does is he
Speaker 1: allows this play to develop. He could have very easily
Speaker 1: gone in took on the fullback, but what I think
Speaker 1: would have happened, it would have made an easy declaration
Speaker 1: for the running back to bounce that outside. What Brandon
Speaker 1: does is he sort of feathers with the fullback, allows
Speaker 1: his pursuit to get there while also setting the edge.
Speaker 1: They forced it outside. Great play by Brandon Graham, not
Speaker 1: trading one for one, gets off the block, make the tack.
Speaker 1: But when you do that, you keep good team discipline.
Speaker 1: You see the spacing by all the guys, and you
Speaker 1: got all those black shirts all the way across the
Speaker 1: bullet there's nowhere for the ball to go for the
Speaker 1: running back. We want to watch him here. Watch his
Speaker 1: pass where I share versus first round draft pick Eric Flowers.
Speaker 1: He dips that shoulder and he gets in Thereic Flowers.
Speaker 1: This is good leverage play, good power, turned in that
Speaker 1: speed into power and he just runs over him. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: They didn't call this a SEC. Just a great job.
Speaker 1: And you're seeing all the different phases of what they
Speaker 1: expected Brandon Graham to do from that position, and he
Speaker 1: has really picked it up. Yeah. I mean, he's doing
Speaker 1: a fantastic job all year long, but this is the
Speaker 1: first game it's going to show up on the stat sheet.
Speaker 1: Rounding Ground continues to play like this should be a
Speaker 1: good second half of the season for the Eagles and
Speaker 1: their defense. All right, guys, thank you very much, Glenn.
Speaker 1: Some thoughts here, final thoughts from you on on this game.
Speaker 1: My final thought in this game, and I by no
Speaker 1: means in predicting they're gonna lose. They're gonna lose. It's
Speaker 1: the first game where we have a little breathing room
Speaker 1: after this. You got to buy. Then you got Dallas,
Speaker 1: that's a much to win. Then you got Miami and Tampa.
Speaker 1: You're going to be heavily favored there at home. This
Speaker 1: is the first week day where we've had in a
Speaker 1: month where we don't say critical win, must win, must win,
Speaker 1: that said would be nice. Four and three would be
Speaker 1: I think everybody would be really feeling good about this.
Speaker 1: Where the Eagles came from to get obviously got to
Speaker 1: win on Sunday night, once ahead, our Amrosso's on the
Speaker 1: menu segment for you, We've got crunch time on Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot Com on Eagles three sixty tomorrow. Alex Smith
Speaker 1: with her stats only look at the Eagles and the
Speaker 1: Panthers and I emo pining today on the offensive line, Glenn,
Speaker 1: you would agree that the offensive line has made great strides,
Speaker 1: absolutely held it together. You know why weas do? I
Speaker 1: know why? Continuity? I say health. Well, I think those
Speaker 1: two kind of go hand in hand. I think Jason
Speaker 1: Peters and Lane Johnson, the fact that they took those
Speaker 1: couple of days off before the Saints game, whatever elicks
Speaker 1: or they provided in the training room, it's sure worked
Speaker 1: because good points played very good football. We thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us on Eagles three sixty for Glennmacknow and
Speaker 1: Dave Spidero have yourselves a great Eagles Day.
