Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero, Mike Quick,
Speaker 1: You've got the Seattle Seahawks to talk about today, six
Speaker 1: two and one, coming off the big win against New
Speaker 1: England Patriots, and we wonder, Mike, are they starting to
Speaker 1: get into their groove as the playoff picture comes into focus? Heave.
Speaker 1: I think they're starting to get into their groove, and
Speaker 1: mainly because their quarterback, Russell Wilson is finally healthy. You know,
Speaker 1: he's got all of the weapons around him. Tyler Lockett,
Speaker 1: he's got, of course, the big tight end, and Graham.
Speaker 1: He's got so many weapons. And now that he's healthy,
Speaker 1: when they don't have a play down the field, he's
Speaker 1: able to create because he's so good out of the
Speaker 1: pocket and drawing up defenses. And once the defense are
Speaker 1: drawn to him, then he finds his targets down the field.
Speaker 1: He's buying time just so that he can make plays
Speaker 1: down the field. Is Russell Wilson in your mind, Mike,
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback? Of course he is? Of course, people
Speaker 1: who don't people don't consider him one either don't watch
Speaker 1: him or just hate on the guy. The guys fantastic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just think that a lot of people will talk
Speaker 1: and regurgitate what they hear other people say, but if
Speaker 1: you actually look at him, you'll realize that this is
Speaker 1: one of the elite quarterbacks in this league. I didn't
Speaker 1: mention Doug Baldwin, but he is one of the better receivers,
Speaker 1: and he'll throw the Baldwin a lot. He's got, as
Speaker 1: I said, an array of talent around him. The running
Speaker 1: back position has really changed for them. They got rid
Speaker 1: of Christian Michael, they got rid of and push set
Speaker 1: the kid out of Notre Dame. Procites there is. I
Speaker 1: actually was just back there with Merrill going through pronunciations. Okay,
Speaker 1: you got to get this right on before Sunday here
Speaker 1: I got. I got a little bit of time so
Speaker 1: pro sites. I watched him in the New England game,
Speaker 1: and a form of wide receiver, but just an excellent
Speaker 1: football player. They run him out of the backfield and
Speaker 1: when they get him on the outside, they create great
Speaker 1: matchups with pro sites getting him on linebackers, getting him
Speaker 1: on safeties, and they win with him. Don't give it
Speaker 1: way too much. Now, we got a first look on
Speaker 1: the Seahawks a little bit later, all right in the show,
Speaker 1: but a very busy day here that an overcare complex,
Speaker 1: lots of press conferences, lots of information. What do we
Speaker 1: do with it all? We turn it over to Alex
Speaker 1: Smith our Eagles three sixty update to get you all
Speaker 1: caught up. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith here with your
Speaker 1: three sixty update. Well, the Eagles are on the road
Speaker 1: this weekend in Seattle, which is known for being one
Speaker 1: of the loudest stadiums in the NFL. So to try
Speaker 1: to combat that, the Eagles will be practicing here inside
Speaker 1: on Thursday or Friday, and they'll be pumping in crowd noise.
Speaker 1: And if you're wondering how loud that is, it's this loud.
Speaker 1: So that's not yet, but it's loud. It's loud. And
Speaker 1: if you get them a chance to chair, they'll be
Speaker 1: even louder. So I think the key is for us
Speaker 1: offensively is to you know, let's let's try to quiet
Speaker 1: them a little bit. Yeah. I think the biggest thing
Speaker 1: is just you need to communicate a lot. You know,
Speaker 1: you need to overcommunicate. I mean you need to work
Speaker 1: on hand signals, you know, both with the lineman, with
Speaker 1: the receivers. You know, you got to work through a
Speaker 1: lot of those things. Um, but those are things we've
Speaker 1: done already. You know, We've done those in Chicago, we've
Speaker 1: done those in Washington. Um, obviously it'll be louder, but
Speaker 1: at the same time, as long as you kind of
Speaker 1: have that kind of already set in stone, UM, I
Speaker 1: don't think it should be too big of an effect.
Speaker 1: You know, we got to be ready for it, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. Aside from just the crowd noise, the Eagles
Speaker 1: defense will also have to deal with Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: who's having another standout season. Today, we heard from players
Speaker 1: inside the locker room on what the challenge is in
Speaker 1: trying to slow Wilson down. We just we just gotta
Speaker 1: make sure he don't beat us with his legs. I mean,
Speaker 1: because you know he likes to run around but he
Speaker 1: but he does has a powerful arm too. I mean
Speaker 1: he scrambles to pass, you know, so it's not really
Speaker 1: to run, it's really to throw the ball. And that's
Speaker 1: really when he create more down the field plays when
Speaker 1: he's running around and you know, throwing the d balls
Speaker 1: usually after that. So, I mean, when you got a
Speaker 1: guy like that, man, you really I think the main
Speaker 1: thing is you don't want to chase him around. But
Speaker 1: to answer your question, is you know he's fast. He
Speaker 1: didn't make a lot of plays with his feet, So
Speaker 1: I men, I think we'll do a better job this year.
Speaker 1: You know, he's playing against him a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Knowing what he can do with his feet, we'll do
Speaker 1: a better job in containing them. All right, Well, that
Speaker 1: will wrap things up here from the bubble outside of
Speaker 1: the Novacare Complex. You can check out all of our
Speaker 1: coverage from today, including press conferences from Doug Peterson, Carson Wentz,

Speaker 1: we're talking with Eagles defensive tackle Benny Logan all smiles
Speaker 1: after getting back in the lineup one day against the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Benny, welcome and congratulations of getting back out
Speaker 1: there another defense. Missed you so much, and I know
Speaker 1: you missed playing so much. Definitely did definitely. What is it?
Speaker 1: What is it about the game that you missed, Benny?
Speaker 1: Is it on the field? Off the field? What you like?
Speaker 1: I missed on the field. I just missed being physical
Speaker 1: and just playing with the guys. Just the chemistry we
Speaker 1: have when we're playing along each other and just the
Speaker 1: time we've been together for so long. It's just like
Speaker 1: real brotherhood when I'm out there with those guys, when
Speaker 1: we were hanging together, it's just a good feeling. How
Speaker 1: that develop, How that friendship, camaraderie, kinship develop over time?
Speaker 1: You build trust and friendship with guys that you you know,
Speaker 1: take the field with every Sunday and practicing things like that.
Speaker 1: And we developed that, you know, when Chip was here,
Speaker 1: and you know, it was fortunate enough that still had
Speaker 1: the same group a couple of guys, you know, for
Speaker 1: three years ship was here and it's still the chemistry
Speaker 1: in the bond that we had then and still here.
Speaker 1: How did you play on Sunday, I played okay. I
Speaker 1: was a little rest of the h I missed a
Speaker 1: couple of tackles, a few tackles, actually a couple once
Speaker 1: Saco and not like that was a little rest. You
Speaker 1: could tell I've been off for almost month whatnot because
Speaker 1: my technique was in there as it was elier in
Speaker 1: the year, but it's staying. I could fix on my
Speaker 1: own during practice and you know, I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: this week when you missed time like that. What is
Speaker 1: the hardest part of getting back to being raised or sharp?
Speaker 1: Is it the technique or the conditioning? Is it the
Speaker 1: timing the condition It wasn't bad because during the week
Speaker 1: of practice I was sprinting Everwood to the ball. The
Speaker 1: ball was always down the field. I kind of got
Speaker 1: myself in the game shaped that way by chasing the
Speaker 1: ball ever snapped no matter what it was. And I
Speaker 1: told Big to make sure you stay at on me
Speaker 1: that make sure you know I'm holding myself accounting for that.
Speaker 1: But it was more of the technique and just getting
Speaker 1: back into a game speed, because you could play hard
Speaker 1: and fast at practice, but you know, once you get
Speaker 1: in a game, it's a different speed. So that was
Speaker 1: my biggest adjustment, you know, getting back to game speed
Speaker 1: and just getting you know, polishing up my technique. And
Speaker 1: you remember when the Eagles made this coaching change and
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz came in and the four three alignment came in,
Speaker 1: and people wondered outside the building how you would adjust
Speaker 1: to being a more attacking defensive tackle. What was it
Speaker 1: like for you to kind of hear the news that
Speaker 1: you were gonna go back to that kind of style
Speaker 1: of player. You know, I was decided, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: to be able to wrest the passing more because the
Speaker 1: past three years, you know, I was more of a
Speaker 1: playing around and that's what people looked at me as
Speaker 1: a run stopping defense attack, which I don't want to
Speaker 1: be labeled at. Uh. You know, I knew I could
Speaker 1: wrest a pass it, but you know, I just did
Speaker 1: what I was told to do the past three years,
Speaker 1: you know, on a tip killer defense and uh everything.
Speaker 1: So to be able to wrest the pass and really attack,
Speaker 1: you know, I frem was a good thing I was
Speaker 1: looking forward to. And uh it was a rough transition
Speaker 1: for me just being Nuns because she's not even done
Speaker 1: something like that since college. So I had to change
Speaker 1: my body, had to change the way I see things,
Speaker 1: the way I approach thing. But the most important thing,
Speaker 1: I never gave up on myself, and there was, you know,
Speaker 1: a really contribute to me just working hard and just
Speaker 1: work with the guys that I had among me. How
Speaker 1: did you change your body in what way? You have
Speaker 1: to lose weight? I wouldn't really say lose a lot
Speaker 1: of weight, but just get your body and shape for
Speaker 1: it's pretty much like a sprint. Everything you get on
Speaker 1: your stand so worried the past three years, I was
Speaker 1: more of a two gapper. Now it was attack a
Speaker 1: return you get on it was attack, attack, attack, like
Speaker 1: he was running a sprint, and so you had to
Speaker 1: get your body in your condition, you know, ready for
Speaker 1: that kind of defense. Penny on Sunday, the Eagles play
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and that means Russell Wilson. I know he
Speaker 1: played against Russell Wilson. He's very tough from your perspective.
Speaker 1: What makes him so difficult. He's a guy, he's really
Speaker 1: coming into himself. He's becoming a really good passer. Standing
Speaker 1: in the podcast, he had to deal with a couple
Speaker 1: of injuries here late list, so he's forced him to
Speaker 1: be more of a pocket passer, which he's done a
Speaker 1: good job. But but now you know he still has
Speaker 1: an InCor pracone, but he's still you know, running around.
Speaker 1: I think he's just a stand plays keep the plays
Speaker 1: a lives. He keep his eyes always down the field.
Speaker 1: So you know, going to his game, it's going to
Speaker 1: be the teller, you know, who is the best defense.
Speaker 1: We got to go in there and got our played
Speaker 1: a defense and just play hard and contain him on
Speaker 1: every snap because we can't let him, you know, get
Speaker 1: outside of the pod and put a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: on our secondary. Many during your time off, what what
Speaker 1: did you do to kind of replace that competitive on
Speaker 1: field stuff? Getting hunting a lot more? Did you How
Speaker 1: did you do play checkers a lot? Would you do? Nah? Man?
Speaker 1: I actually just sit there and just watch the game,
Speaker 1: and it was it was really stressful just watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely because I had to see the doctor cause I
Speaker 1: was injured every Monday and so every might not winning
Speaker 1: to see the document of my blood pressure. It was
Speaker 1: kind of high because it was just scressful just watching
Speaker 1: those guys go out there and grinding that and end
Speaker 1: up losing because I know they kind of work they
Speaker 1: put into the game, and you know how hard they
Speaker 1: work and train, you know, to be perfect one not
Speaker 1: to see them, you know, come on, start those couple
Speaker 1: of day games where it's stressful to me. And I
Speaker 1: was really you know, excited about getting back out that
Speaker 1: Sunday and you played. I thought you played. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: not not great. Now it wasn't great on yourself. You
Speaker 1: got to be harder, and so you can't be you know,
Speaker 1: is this Sunday a statement game? Every Sunday is a
Speaker 1: statement guy. Now they're the Seahawks. They're the legion of boom.
Speaker 1: Everybody talks about that before us. I mean, they earn
Speaker 1: their respect whatnot. We this out first year in the defense.
Speaker 1: So we still come and tell oh, we're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: established out so that that we can continue stabhishew and self
Speaker 1: because we know the count of defense we could be. No,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be two top defense that's fishing on the fields.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be the teller, the bi the best defense.
Speaker 1: It be a fun time, Benny, I'm gonna see you
Speaker 1: later tonight. Benny Logan, along with Brandon Brooks, co hosts

Speaker 1: I don't like talk about football. Twining full seven. You know,
Speaker 1: I stud didn't do my job and study my opponent,
Speaker 1: but after that, I don't really want to talk about football. Guy,

Speaker 1: Exchange dot com. Mike The Eagles took care of business
Speaker 1: last week against Atlantis, starting the second half of the
Speaker 1: season off the right way. Four home games remain, three
Speaker 1: tough ones on the road. What do you see on
Speaker 1: the road? On the road, it's always difficult, and this
Speaker 1: team has proven that through the season. They've been really
Speaker 1: good at home and let some games get away on
Speaker 1: the road. But this is a team that Dave. They're
Speaker 1: starting to run the football well, and to me, that's
Speaker 1: something that you can take on the road. When you're
Speaker 1: able to effectively run the football, it doesn't matter where
Speaker 1: you are. Defenses travel, running the football travels. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take our first look at the Seattle Seahawks. We
Speaker 1: take a deep dive on a team that is rounding
Speaker 1: into form after some early season struggles. We begin, of course,
Speaker 1: of the quarterback position. We talked a little bit about
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Carson wentz to me, Mike Carson on
Speaker 1: the road here, it's a it's a real legitimate challenge
Speaker 1: for him navigating through all the noise. Well, he played
Speaker 1: at North Dakota State. He's never seen anything like what
Speaker 1: he's going to see in Seattle, and it's different for
Speaker 1: anyone and it's difficult for the veteran quarterbacks, guys who've
Speaker 1: been around for a long time because that twelfth Man
Speaker 1: Dave in Seattle, it's real and it really does affect
Speaker 1: other teams coming into Seattle. So this is a challenge
Speaker 1: unlike any that Carson's ever seen. But I like Carson
Speaker 1: and I like what he's been able to do. I
Speaker 1: think what they'll do this week is prepare him for it.
Speaker 1: And it's not necessarily the noise, because you're won't they
Speaker 1: won't be able to replicate that during the week, but
Speaker 1: getting him up to speed on the signals and all
Speaker 1: the things that he'll need to do communicating nonverbally. How
Speaker 1: about the challenge of going against the intimidation factor of
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman and Cam Chancellor and Earl Thomas in the
Speaker 1: Legion of Boom? Does that play into this at all?
Speaker 1: Don't throw at Richard Sherman. It's as simply say, what
Speaker 1: if he's covering Jordan, that's okay. You've got zach Ertz,
Speaker 1: and they did a great job with zach Ertz last week.
Speaker 1: You've got Darren Spros. They did an outstanding job with
Speaker 1: Darren Spros. Last week. They were great on first down
Speaker 1: in the run game, so that is a really good formula.
Speaker 1: So I think there's a chance that that when Matthews
Speaker 1: goes into the slot. I think there's a chance because
Speaker 1: he's targeted so much, that Richard Sherman might follow him.
Speaker 1: So what do you do. I don't think Cam Chancellor
Speaker 1: is that great of a cover guy. Cam Chancellor zach Ertz.
Speaker 1: I like zach Ertz in that matchup. So that's to
Speaker 1: me a favorable matchup for the Eagles and Seattle. They're
Speaker 1: starting to play a lot more man coverage, so the
Speaker 1: guys on the outside they're gonna have to win. And
Speaker 1: when I say that, I think about how difficult that's
Speaker 1: going to be for the guys on the outside, but
Speaker 1: for the second guy in the second receiver, and many
Speaker 1: times that's gonna be urged, that's gonna be sprows. You
Speaker 1: create matchups for those guys so that they can win. Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: the Eagles ran the football extremely well against the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: We expect an emphasis on running the ball Sunday in
Speaker 1: Seattle and Ryan Matthews big numbers last week, averaging four
Speaker 1: point two yards per carry. On the other side, CJ.
Speaker 1: Pro Sie is outstanding of catching the football. They get
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls back, you get a big twenty and fifteen mic.
Speaker 1: How do you evaluate the running games for each team? Well,
Speaker 1: this running game for the Eagles is improving, obviously, and
Speaker 1: I think they have to continue to improve and pound
Speaker 1: the ball in the run game. Seattle, they make teams
Speaker 1: drive the length of the field eight Plague drives, ten drive,
Speaker 1: twelve player drives and that falls into what the Eagles do.
Speaker 1: That's there. Won't they do that every week? And so
Speaker 1: if they're able to get touchdowns at the end of that,
Speaker 1: then it's going to be a really good game for
Speaker 1: the Eagles. And on the other side, Seattle runs the ball,
Speaker 1: but they're not a great running team, and I like
Speaker 1: the Eagles in that matchup. The Seattle offense running the
Speaker 1: ball against this front seven, I think it's a really
Speaker 1: good matchup. In my mind, it favors the Eagles. They
Speaker 1: have a good offensive line, but it's not one that
Speaker 1: the Eagles defensive front cannot take a part all right,
Speaker 1: tight ends Jimmy Graham really coming on getting familiar with
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. He is a main target, particularly in the
Speaker 1: red zone, and I wonder, Mike, if you're Jim Schwartz,
Speaker 1: what are you doing here against Jimmy Graham. Jim Schwartz
Speaker 1: is going to line up Malcolm Jenkins. You can Knight
Speaker 1: Bradham bracket coverage. What do you do? I think you
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. I think you have to really
Speaker 1: affect the quarterback because it's so hard to cover Jimmy Graham,
Speaker 1: even when you double covered Jimmy Graham. He's a tough
Speaker 1: guy to cover. And not just plus twenty day when
Speaker 1: they get to their plus thirty. As soon as they
Speaker 1: get into that area, they're going to try and get
Speaker 1: the ball into the hands of Jimmy Graham. You mentioned
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin. Now here's a name that a lot of
Speaker 1: people don't pay a lot of attention to, but he's
Speaker 1: got fifty catches this year, physical, runs well. Is it
Speaker 1: a good matchup for the Eagles? Is a tough matchup
Speaker 1: for the Eagles? What kind of receiver is he? I
Speaker 1: think he's a really good receiver, runs good routes, catches
Speaker 1: the ball where he's tough, he's physical. It's not easy
Speaker 1: to cover him. And the guys on the outside. I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna see it, They're gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of man coverage because I think that you still want
Speaker 1: to affect the quarterback. I think you still want to
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback and you don't want to get
Speaker 1: let Russell Wilson get outside the pocket. But you don't
Speaker 1: want to allow him to get comfortable throwing the football either.
Speaker 1: When you look at some of the external numbers, the
Speaker 1: miscellaneous number sacks and yards per game and passing yards
Speaker 1: and all that very even I mean the Eagles and
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, I'm looking forward to a great game. I
Speaker 1: think if Eagles can get a lead here, really could
Speaker 1: steal one. There's always a game on the schedule. You say,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a tough one to win, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then the Eagles win it. Well, so maybe this
Speaker 1: is it, Dave, This is gonna be a tough game
Speaker 1: to win. But I just believe that the way they
Speaker 1: play defense, it plays into the eagles favor. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: our first look at the Seattle Seahawks. That's the XS
Speaker 1: and o's portion of this show. When we return to
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty, we'll do a little bit of digging
Speaker 1: into the numbers, next Gen stats coming up when we return.

Speaker 1: bacon lovers America runs. I'm duncan. We are back at
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty David Mike here. We throw now to
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and our Stats Only package. Hi everyone, I'm
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, and welcome back to Stats Only, where every
Speaker 1: week we go inside the numbers from the Eagle's most
Speaker 1: recent matchup. So as we look back at Sunday's twenty
Speaker 1: four to fifteen win over the Atlanta Falcons, we'll start
Speaker 1: off by highlighting a play from Brandon Graham and Fletcher
Speaker 1: Cox that shows how a little hustle go a long
Speaker 1: way towards slowing down Atlanta's offense. On Atlanta's opening possession,
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan threw a screen pass to running back to
Speaker 1: Vante Freeman, who can be very dangerous when given space.
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham both get a great jump
Speaker 1: off the line to rush the passer. But it's how
Speaker 1: they react to the screen that makes this play so impressive.
Speaker 1: Cox travels a distance of thirty two point nine five
Speaker 1: yards on the play, and the three hundred and ten
Speaker 1: pounder reaches a top speed of fourteen point five two
Speaker 1: miles per hour. It's Cox who rebounds to make the tackle,
Speaker 1: but Graham also travels upwards of thirty four point four
Speaker 1: nine yards on the play and reaches a top speed
Speaker 1: of thirteen point four to six miles per hour, just
Speaker 1: in case Freeman had stayed on his feet. Next up,
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at ken Yon Barner, whose strong
Speaker 1: play on special teams helps set the Eagles up in
Speaker 1: prime field position throughout the game. Barner has been a
Speaker 1: part of the Eagles running back rotation all seas and long,
Speaker 1: but on Sunday he showed why he's been tabbed as
Speaker 1: the Eagle's new primary kick returner as well. Barner broke
Speaker 1: free for one hundred and fourteen yards on just three returns,
Speaker 1: but his fifty two yard return midway through the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter was what ultimately helped the Eagles take the lead
Speaker 1: for good. On that return, Barnard traveled a total of
Speaker 1: sixty six point two four yards and he reached a
Speaker 1: mac feat of eighteen point two nine miles per hour,
Speaker 1: the fastest of any of his returns. Barner's work set
Speaker 1: the Eagles up in Falcon's territory, where Ryan Matthews would
Speaker 1: eventually score the go ahead touchdown. And speaking of Matthews,
Speaker 1: will finish off today by looking at one surprising stat
Speaker 1: about his big day at Lincoln Financial Field. Matthews is
Speaker 1: known for being a powerful, bruising running back, and while
Speaker 1: he did power through some tough runs, the Eagles offensive
Speaker 1: line also did a great job of paving the way
Speaker 1: for number twenty four. Of matthews one hundred and nine
Speaker 1: rushing yards, sixty one of them came after contact, but
Speaker 1: forty eight of them came before he was ever touched,
Speaker 1: showing how strong of a game Jason Peters, Jason Kelsey
Speaker 1: and the rest of the O line had upfront. Matthews
Speaker 1: had eight runs where he gained four yards or more
Speaker 1: after contact, but he also had six runs in which
Speaker 1: he gained four or more yards before he was ever touched.
Speaker 1: All right, well, that will wrap things up for this
Speaker 1: edition of Stats Only. We'll see you back here next
Speaker 1: week on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com and the Official Eagles
Speaker 1: Mobile app Thanks so much, Alex. We've got one more
Speaker 1: segment to go here on Eagles three sixty. When we return,
Speaker 1: we'll set things up for you on Thursday, and we'll
Speaker 1: get Mike Quick's final thoughts about the Eagles big road
Speaker 1: game in Seattle on Sunday afternoon. Remarkable things are happening
Speaker 1: at your local ACMET. We're making changes and we're getting
Speaker 1: better every day, Cleaner, friendlier, fresher like fresher meat and
Speaker 1: seafood at fresher produce, and hundreds of organics. To top
Speaker 1: it off, we are luring thousands of prices throughout the store.
Speaker 1: So come on it and see for yourself why ACNE
Speaker 1: is just better. Lower prices, great quality, and friendlier service.
Speaker 1: ACME the official supermarket of the Philadelphia Eagles. I've been
Speaker 1: an athlete for as long as I can remember. In
Speaker 1: the summer, I was taking a long bike ride and
Speaker 1: when I looked up, a tree had fallen across the
Speaker 1: shoulder of the road. And when I came to, I
Speaker 1: couldn't feel anything below my neck, and I thought my
Speaker 1: life had changed forever. I was hell of act to
Speaker 1: Jefferson Hospital and the Rothman doctors did an emergency procedure
Speaker 1: and fused the vertebrae in my spine. Now I'm back
Speaker 1: on the bike. I'm enjoying myself, and it's all thanks
Speaker 1: to the Rothman doctors at Jefferson With simply right checking
Speaker 1: from Santon their bank. Just make one deposit, with draw,
Speaker 1: transfer or payment each month to wait the monthly fee
Speaker 1: and there's no minimum balance. You're all right, It's simply
Speaker 1: right checking from Santon their bank. It's our final segment
Speaker 1: here on Eagles three sixty. Dave Spiderow humbly next to
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer Mike Quick. Let's get you caught
Speaker 1: up him. What's happening tomorrow? Are Amrosso's on the menu?
Speaker 1: Segment are coordinators Frank Reich, Jim Schwartz, meet the media,
Speaker 1: Glenn mac Now with some bold predictions for Sunday afternoon,
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks coach John D. Philippo in studio talking about
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz Amrosso's the reason Philly sandwiches are so famous. Mike,
Speaker 1: what did Carson show you against Atlanta? How ready is
Speaker 1: he for this moment against Seattle? Well, just to bounce
Speaker 1: back from the prior week where he didn't have a
Speaker 1: good game. I thought he was excellent against Atlanta, but
Speaker 1: probably more importantly, I thought Doug Peterson did an outstanding
Speaker 1: job of play calling. They were excellent on first down.
Speaker 1: I think they average over seven yards to carry on
Speaker 1: first down, and he mixed it up with so many
Speaker 1: different run plays. So it takes a lot of the
Speaker 1: pressure off of Carson. When you're not asking Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: your rookie quarterback to throw the ball forty forty five
Speaker 1: times a game. It's a lot easier and the heck
Speaker 1: of a lot more manageable for that young quarterback. Michael
Speaker 1: got to ask you this. Also, Eagles wide receivers coming
Speaker 1: under a lot of heat now, Nelson, Aghalore, Doyle Greenbeckham,
Speaker 1: what's going through their mind this week? Trying to redeem themselves,
Speaker 1: trying to get back into position where they can make
Speaker 1: the play they want When this happens to you, you
Speaker 1: want to be the guy. You want to be called on.
Speaker 1: You want to be the guy to make the play,
Speaker 1: to get that stink off of you from the previous
Speaker 1: play from last week. And that has to be going
Speaker 1: through their heads right now. I want my number to
Speaker 1: be called, I think in a really weird way. Nelson
Speaker 1: steps up and has a nice game on Sunday, away
Speaker 1: from home, less pressure. I just I feel like I
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna step up the crystal ball. You
Speaker 1: don't rub it. Don't rub it and make it get
Speaker 1: all the shine and there's no shinery now, don't get
Speaker 1: all rub it from here. I can rub here. SOO,
Speaker 1: you got a little shiners here, all right, Mike Quick,
Speaker 1: Dave Spidero. We thank you for joining us here on
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. I'm back tomorrow with Glenn mac Now.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, everyone, thanks for joining us. Have yourselves
Speaker 1: a great Eagles Day.
