Speaker 1: Welcome everyone as Eagles three sixty on this Wednesday from
Speaker 1: the Novicare Complex. David Spidero Eagles Insider, along with Joe
Speaker 1: de Camera. We're here in the ex Affinity studio at
Speaker 1: the Novicare Complex, the Eagles on the field training getting
Speaker 1: ready for the Buffalo Bills, and Joe. Week ago we
Speaker 1: sat here and seasons on the brink. What a difference
Speaker 1: a week makes. Well, Season one was on the brink
Speaker 1: and they went up to New England. Obviously, Dave and
Speaker 1: the organization got a absolutely huge you win, a thrilling win,
Speaker 1: a win that was surprising. But one is that game
Speaker 1: went on. You could you could see it happening in
Speaker 1: front of our eyes. It was very, very impressive. Obviously
Speaker 1: some places you don't typically get in the course of
Speaker 1: a football game, the three non offensive touchdowns, but boy
Speaker 1: to their credit to pull that win off. Dave, we
Speaker 1: know how unbelievably rare. It is unbelievably rare to beat
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in New England. It just doesn't happen very much.
Speaker 1: So now the Eagles well positioned, they've got a shot.
Speaker 1: You can talk about what's deserved and what's not. Look
Speaker 1: it is what it is five and seven. It is
Speaker 1: time for the division lead. It's a sprint to the end.
Speaker 1: Four games to go. It's in their hands. And obviously
Speaker 1: this division's mocked up and we'll see if the Eagles
Speaker 1: can go get it has been from day one. We'll
Speaker 1: take a look at the division a little later on
Speaker 1: the first place Philadelphia Eagles kind of rolls off the
Speaker 1: tongue nights, doesn't it. It It does. We'll see what they
Speaker 1: do with that win against Dallas on the road. Didn't
Speaker 1: do much after that win. Now we see with the
Speaker 1: Eagles three consecutive home games and the Eagles looking to
Speaker 1: get some momentum. Going to do that, they will have
Speaker 1: to beat the Buffalo Bills. Will take a look at
Speaker 1: the Bill and just a bit here, Chip Kelly coming
Speaker 1: into studio as well. But let's get your caught up
Speaker 1: with everything happening on a busy day. Some running back
Speaker 1: conversation is certainly at the top of the list. Your
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and
Speaker 1: this is your three sixty update. The big story here
Speaker 1: today the Novicare Complex was a pair of Eagles defenders
Speaker 1: bringing home some hardware. As safety Malcolm Jenkins was named
Speaker 1: the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his ninety
Speaker 1: nine yard pick six against the New England Patriots. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: defensive end Fletcher Cox took him the team's twenty and
Speaker 1: fifteen ed Block Courage Award. We heard from both Cox
Speaker 1: and Jenkins on what those awards mean to them. Oh, man,
Speaker 1: I just want to appreciate the old guys. It really
Speaker 1: makes a lot to me. Kind of shifted my day
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. But uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: really appreciate those guys that going to battle with those
Speaker 1: guys every day and for me for them to vote
Speaker 1: for me, you know, for that award, and I appreciate
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, I mean, you know us. I mean
Speaker 1: it's you know, obviously an honor. It's that time of
Speaker 1: year where you know, everything everything matters and so hopefully
Speaker 1: whether it's me or arrange somebody else and it is
Speaker 1: just wrong, we can continue to have a production. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just a product of my environment, a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of players that other people made allow me
Speaker 1: to kind of have that success. Yesterday, much of the
Speaker 1: discussion here at the Novacare Complex centered around Bills running
Speaker 1: back with Sean McCoy but today some of that attention
Speaker 1: focused to Bill's quarterback Tyrod Taylor, and we heard from
Speaker 1: head coach Chip Kelly and linebacker Damiko Ryan's on what
Speaker 1: the multitalented Taylor brings to the Bill's offense. It's a
Speaker 1: different dynamic, you know, and it's similar to playing not
Speaker 1: that he's the same player as Cam because Cam's obviously
Speaker 1: different body type, whatever. But when that quarterback has the
Speaker 1: ability to run, you know, it's it's different. It's different
Speaker 1: than how you cover because now if if he's if
Speaker 1: you play a lot of man under too deep man
Speaker 1: under where the defensive backs have their backs turned to
Speaker 1: the quarterback and it's third and ten, if they're all covered,
Speaker 1: he can tuck the ball and run for the first down.
Speaker 1: Then you can start to you know, now you're rush lanes.
Speaker 1: The rush lanes against Tyrod are different than the rush
Speaker 1: lanes against to Tom Brady. Yeah, Tyrod does. He does
Speaker 1: a really good job of throwing the deep ball, and
Speaker 1: it's really impressed the way he throws the ball down field.
Speaker 1: He does a really good job, has a lot of
Speaker 1: speed on the outside. You know, guys go up making plays.
Speaker 1: And finally we hear from Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, who
Speaker 1: weighs in on Bill's wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who went
Speaker 1: for one hundred nine yards and a touchdown in the
Speaker 1: Bill's victory last week. I think so. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: definitely in the conversation. We see him on the tape.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a track meet. He puts his
Speaker 1: head down and he's rolling. And to be as big
Speaker 1: as he is, you know, it's hard to defend that.
Speaker 1: And we'll wrap things up here from the Novacare Complex
Speaker 1: practice fields with an injury update. Nose tackle Benny Logan
Speaker 1: was the only Eagle that did not participate in today's practice,
Speaker 1: while running back Ryan Matthews was the only player listed
Speaker 1: as limited. You can check out the full report, along
Speaker 1: with the rest of the Eagles news right here on
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thanks so much, Alex Joe. Got
Speaker 1: to ask running backs obviously a huge story. If you
Speaker 1: are Chip Kelly, what do you do with the backs?
Speaker 1: I played DeMarco Murray less than he's been playing throughout
Speaker 1: the course of most of this season, meaning I played
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray around the amount that he got in the
Speaker 1: game versus Buffalo, now versus New England. That was certainly startling.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine DeMarco Murray's happy about it. But I
Speaker 1: think the other guys have more explosion right now, and
Speaker 1: I think they're better in this offense. I do think
Speaker 1: Dave that it's been a mistake for Chip not to
Speaker 1: adapt the offense more to DeMarco's style of running. But
Speaker 1: if he's not going to make that change, yes, I
Speaker 1: would play the other guys one so you don't worry
Speaker 1: about the matchups. See I'm going along with the Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly lines here about the matchups. And if you're game
Speaker 1: playing calls for an inside zone running attack, then DeMarco
Speaker 1: Murray's your best inside zone runner. Ryan Matthews is not
Speaker 1: coming back to carry the ball twenty five times after
Speaker 1: missing three games. There is still very much a place
Speaker 1: for DeMarco Murray in this offense. Hasn't been as productive
Speaker 1: as perhaps a lot of people thought. Three point five
Speaker 1: yards per carry's not along the lines of where he
Speaker 1: was last year with Dallas. But anybody who's giving up
Speaker 1: on DeMarco Murray, I just look at that fourth quarter
Speaker 1: running he had last week, the nineteen yard game. It
Speaker 1: was an angry run. It was a physical run. And
Speaker 1: if you give DeMarco a chance to go downhill north south,
Speaker 1: that's what he's signed up for. I think he'd be
Speaker 1: really productive. And that late game fumble from Kenya on
Speaker 1: Barner that is a red flag for me. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure he's the guy to carry the ball late in
Speaker 1: the game. Well, it's a cause for concern for sure.
Speaker 1: I look at it this so I think Dave obviously
Speaker 1: a lot of good points. There's right the running style
Speaker 1: of DeMarco. With that said, I just got to mix
Speaker 1: the other guys in, and I got to mix them
Speaker 1: in a lot because I think they've got an acceleration
Speaker 1: right now that's impressive and works for I mean, let's
Speaker 1: face fact, the Eagles do run outside a lot. So
Speaker 1: if they're going to run outside, I need a guy
Speaker 1: that can turn the form. And frankly Sproles and Matthews
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, and Barner, you know, work in progress,
Speaker 1: still trying to figure it out. But I think they
Speaker 1: give the Eagles options to uti laws a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's depth, there's number of restrictions for running backs in
Speaker 1: a game. I think that's really difficult to work. Well.
Speaker 1: I think the big key here is Ryan Matthews and
Speaker 1: how quickly he can get back into his game and
Speaker 1: how quickly he can be a contributor not only for
Speaker 1: eight carries ten carries, but can you give him fifteen
Speaker 1: carries per game and keep him healthy in the final
Speaker 1: four games? Here can Darren sprowlstay helly? That workload a
Speaker 1: large one on Sunday for Sprowls. You want to keep
Speaker 1: him fresh in those home run moments. So good, good
Speaker 1: conversation and Chip Kelly will have to make that decision
Speaker 1: moving forward and he will starting Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: And Chip Kelly and studio and just a bit, we
Speaker 1: also have a cover two segment with Jimmy Kemski from
Speaker 1: Phillyboys dot com along with Matt Lombardo from NJA dot com.

Speaker 1: let's take a look at what the Eagles have ahead.

Speaker 1: power by Ticketmaster. For the only one verified way to

Speaker 1: We're in the final quarter, Joe, of this twenty fifteen
Speaker 1: regular season. And as you see three home games out
Speaker 1: of the four three in a row, how many wims
Speaker 1: you see two and two? But come on, the predictions
Speaker 1: have been outrageous this year. I mean it's been nuts.
Speaker 1: Three and one I think would get it done for
Speaker 1: any not for Dallas, but for the other three teams.
Speaker 1: Three and one gets it done. Number you kind of
Speaker 1: talked about, all yeah, eight gets it done, but seven
Speaker 1: might be the number that it happens at you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So two and two might be what
Speaker 1: you ultimately need. And then when you look at this
Speaker 1: Eagle schedule here up ahead, and certainly it's you know,
Speaker 1: to the Eagles benefit to have three games at home.
Speaker 1: You need to see that at home record improve obviously
Speaker 1: two and three so far, and you know, some issues
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Last year they were better,
Speaker 1: but you know, the home field at the link. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe not quite as strong as you'd like to see it,
Speaker 1: but in general, I think we all know the deal.
Speaker 1: If you if you beat Washington and you beat the Giants,
Speaker 1: Eagles are going to be in a really, really good
Speaker 1: shape because you know, you're talking about beating down the
Speaker 1: teams you're competing with for this division. So two and two,
Speaker 1: and then it's the local Which games did you win?
Speaker 1: Which games you lose? You know what I'm saying, Dave,
Speaker 1: And that what clearly is can you imagine that Matt
Speaker 1: look at that schedule though two primetime games, that third,
Speaker 1: that third game, that New York Giants game, cannot be
Speaker 1: moved to eight thirty. From my understanding, it can only
Speaker 1: be moved into the national slot at four thirty. So
Speaker 1: if he gets to that point theory, you can't take
Speaker 1: your too many games in primetime. Eagles have already exceeded
Speaker 1: the limit of primetime games. Interesting, that's what I've told
Speaker 1: yesterday by somebody from Fox. Fox doesn't want to lose
Speaker 1: that game. All right, Let's take a look our first
Speaker 1: look at the Buffalo Bills in the Philadelphia Eagles. We
Speaker 1: begin at the quarterback position. All of a sudden, Sam Bradford,
Speaker 1: extremely efficient, not turning the football over Joe. He had
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty passing yards on Sunday against New England,
Speaker 1: yet he threw two touchdown passes. Really was very efficient
Speaker 1: with the football. Eagles good in the red zone. Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford to me, he gets the nod here. Although I
Speaker 1: liked Tyrod Taylor and what he's become, that multiple threat,
Speaker 1: very dangerous to the Eagles defense. Yeah, it's Tyrod Taylor's
Speaker 1: done a nice job, you know, for a guy that
Speaker 1: hadn't been a starter before in this league and Buffalo
Speaker 1: acquiring him, he's done a pretty darn good job. Now
Speaker 1: let's talk about Bradford here for a moment, because I
Speaker 1: don't think it should be lost in the shuffle of conversation.
Speaker 1: The Eagles are when he starts and finishes a game,
Speaker 1: five and four, So for a five and seven football team,
Speaker 1: it's certainly noteworthy that there are five and four when
Speaker 1: he plays and finishes. I don't think there's any question
Speaker 1: what we saw from Bradford versus New England represents yet
Speaker 1: again another indicator he's simply better than Mark Sanchez. That's
Speaker 1: certainly my opinion. So I think you know, you got
Speaker 1: to feel kind of a certain degree of more comfortability
Speaker 1: knowing that you know, he's the guy under center and
Speaker 1: hopefully can stay healthy the rest of the way. Now,
Speaker 1: when we talk about Tyrod Taylor, you know, multiple dimensional
Speaker 1: sort of player, able to run and throw the ball
Speaker 1: over three and eighteen I think it's stranger and eighteen
Speaker 1: yards in the ground this year, over three hundred yards
Speaker 1: altogether on the ground. So he's shooting toward you know,
Speaker 1: maybe about four or fifty for the season, and sixty
Speaker 1: four percent completion percentage is pretty impressive. I mean for
Speaker 1: a player that hadn't played before, it's pretty solid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've done a really good job and he's got some
Speaker 1: weapons with look in the backfield, of course, with Shawan McCoy,
Speaker 1: who's been torrit of laid for the Bills. The Eagles
Speaker 1: all time leading rusher and franchise history off to a
Speaker 1: slow start this season, but Lashawn mc coy, he can
Speaker 1: beat you reversing field. Eagles have been talking about playing
Speaker 1: disciplined football and staying at home all week. Easier said
Speaker 1: than done against McCoy, who is absolutely a home run
Speaker 1: threat and really part of a one two punch that
Speaker 1: Buffalo has with Carlos Williams in the backfield, this Buffalo
Speaker 1: running game. They rebuilt the offensive line in the offseason,
Speaker 1: they added Carlos Williams in the draft, They added with
Speaker 1: Shawn McCoy in a trade, and they have been a
Speaker 1: run first to set up the throw kind of team,
Speaker 1: really dangerous running to football. They will test the Eagles
Speaker 1: for the most part, pretty good defense against the run
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, I think it's a big time
Speaker 1: sign of hope to know that the Eagles played a
Speaker 1: much better defensive game versus New England after having struggled there,
Speaker 1: especially in the in the in the run game. Well,
Speaker 1: in addition of the past game, for sure over the
Speaker 1: last three to four weeks before that they got it
Speaker 1: back together. That was a big sign, huge game from pletcher.
Speaker 1: Cox is obviously just an enormous player, I think clearly
Speaker 1: the best player on the team. So yes, Buffalo brings
Speaker 1: a heck of a Russian attack. Eagles are gonna have
Speaker 1: to deal with it in a day. It's not lost
Speaker 1: to me. As Leshaun comes in and obviously he'll be
Speaker 1: incredibly motivated. We all know that as some memorable games
Speaker 1: for former Eagles have come in. Donovan McNabb beat the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Reggie White did not beat the Eagles. I mean there,
Speaker 1: you know, there have been some Ara Owens did not
Speaker 1: beat the Eagles in that OH six game when he
Speaker 1: came back. But it's it's it's no worthy, it's memorable.
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, listen, this is the all
Speaker 1: time leading Russia and the franchise historians coming in here
Speaker 1: with both teams in playoff positioning jockey and it's it
Speaker 1: sets up for a fascinating three hours. Much turnover on
Speaker 1: this roster, though that a lot of these players, and
Speaker 1: we talked about him talked during the week, they're not there.
Speaker 1: They know that Buffalo has a very good offense. We
Speaker 1: get to more of it here. The passing game, Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1: We talked about sixty five percent completion percentage, just four
Speaker 1: interceptions this year. Sammy Watkins, after complaining earlier this season
Speaker 1: about not getting featured enough in Buffalo's passing game, has
Speaker 1: come on big time. He is a top five draft
Speaker 1: pick really coming into his own and the Eagles secondary
Speaker 1: Eric Rowe and Byron Maxwell, they'll have to account for
Speaker 1: him and Charles Clay at tight end and wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Good group for Tyrod Taylor. Oh yeah, no, there's no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. And young and so they you know,
Speaker 1: they have some skills. And Sammy Watkins, as they mentioned,
Speaker 1: certainly is the main guy. I mean, he's he's a
Speaker 1: home run threat. You know, you see that yards for
Speaker 1: reception average, it's very impressive. Now, he's not a possession
Speaker 1: receiver at this stage of the game. We'll see if
Speaker 1: he can grow into that more as his career develops.
Speaker 1: But he's a heck of a player. There's a reason
Speaker 1: he went in the top five of the draft. And
Speaker 1: as Dave mentioned, I mean, a true task for the
Speaker 1: Eagles cornerbacks. And as we know, there's been some shake
Speaker 1: up in the Eagles secondary, not just the corners, but
Speaker 1: who plays in nickel in the safeties and so yes,
Speaker 1: it's it's really gonna be a spot where the Eagles
Speaker 1: is gonna have to contain him tight end. The Eagles
Speaker 1: getting Zach Ertz back that helped. Last week he caught
Speaker 1: his first touchdown pass of the season. Good red zone
Speaker 1: threat for the Eagles, good down the field threat. And
Speaker 1: how about the Buffalo Bills. They make a deal with Miami,
Speaker 1: they go and sign Charles Clay and free agency, they
Speaker 1: rebuild their entire passing attack and they kind of feature
Speaker 1: a tight end here. Clay is somebody that not a
Speaker 1: lot of people know about, but very dynamic player. And
Speaker 1: the linebacker situation for Eagles has been shaky. Keiko Alonso
Speaker 1: will be asked to play in coverage in this game.
Speaker 1: The former Buffalo Bill will have to do a good
Speaker 1: job against Clay. Tyrod Taylor looks for him down the field.
Speaker 1: They really just like to play ballas away offense, and
Speaker 1: Clay's a good player. Well, he is a good player
Speaker 1: over following yards in receiving so far this season's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously, anytime you have a relatively young
Speaker 1: quarterbacker inexperienced quarterback as Tyrod Taylor is, we all know
Speaker 1: the deal. A tight end can be a quarterback's best friend,
Speaker 1: especially in times of third down conversions and things of
Speaker 1: that nature. So for for Clay to have fifty receptions
Speaker 1: this year is pretty impressive. And you know, listen, Tyrod
Speaker 1: Taylor is not a great player, but he is doing
Speaker 1: a decent job and has tools and as we know
Speaker 1: from Rex Ryan's days with the New York Jets, his
Speaker 1: preference is to run the football, so it's a run
Speaker 1: based offense. But when Tyrod Taylor needs to make plays,
Speaker 1: he has shown this year the ability to do so,
Speaker 1: and that is in large measure, Dave, why they are
Speaker 1: in the playoff hunt in the FSA. A quick get
Speaker 1: the defenses for these two teams. Rex Ryan will be aggressive,
Speaker 1: He'll mix things up. We know Bill Davis will do
Speaker 1: the same. Not a lot of sacks from a front
Speaker 1: though Buffalo that features Jerry Hughes and Mario Williams and
Speaker 1: Marcel Darius and hopefully they will not be tuned in
Speaker 1: to play this game. I know that LeJean mcgoy has
Speaker 1: been going around the locker room saying, hey, win this
Speaker 1: one for me. Eagles need to win the battle at
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. They did a fair job last week,
Speaker 1: although the offense really not productive for Chikelly needs to
Speaker 1: talk about that. Well, let's flip it for a second.
Speaker 1: When we talk about defense, I mean unbelievable performance. Unbelievable
Speaker 1: performance by the Eagles defensive line last week versus New England,
Speaker 1: I mean masterful their ability to get it. It It wasn't
Speaker 1: just about the sacks which they had saxon Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: It was about the hits, it was about the harrys,
Speaker 1: it was about the knockdowns. I mean, listen, there's two
Speaker 1: many reasons Eagles won that game versus New England. The first,
Speaker 1: obviously is three touchdowns that weren't offensive touchdowns. That's you know,
Speaker 1: the twenty one points is enormous. But the second reason
Speaker 1: was the Eagles defensive lines just flat one after Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: So you hope that they can do more of that,
Speaker 1: because Dave, if they play like that, great things can happen.
Speaker 1: Different gunning game, you have to contain Tyrod Taylor. So
Speaker 1: but it's a great matchup. Really, Buffalo Bills come to
Speaker 1: town as a good football team. Rex Ryan has done
Speaker 1: an excellent job turning that team around from last year
Speaker 1: to this year, winning over the Houston Texans last week.
Speaker 1: They're very much in the playoff picture in the AFC
Speaker 1: East and they still have the Eagles, the Cowboys, and
Speaker 1: I believe the Redskins, So they are they're very involved
Speaker 1: in what the NFC's picture is going to look like.
Speaker 1: When we returned to Eagles three to sixty, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about this football team from the outside perspective. It's
Speaker 1: our cover two segment. On the other side, catch Holiday

Speaker 1: sixty here with David Spidero and Joe to camera. Time
Speaker 1: now for us to step aside. Chris McPherson with his
Speaker 1: Cover two segment, Matt Lombardo Njay dot Com and Jimmy
Speaker 1: Kempsky Philly Voys. What are they talking about? The Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: of course, Hello Eagles fans. I'm Chris McPherson, and welcome
Speaker 1: to this week's edition of Cover two. Here in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles dot Com a lot to dive into, and so
Speaker 1: I welcome two of my favorite people in the media
Speaker 1: world from Matt Lombardo from NJA dot Com and Jimmy
Speaker 1: Kempsky from Philly Voys to break down the Eagles went
Speaker 1: over the Patriots and look ahead to a certain someone
Speaker 1: coming to Lincoln fangel Field this Sunday. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know Rex run, Yeah, exactly. So First, let's
Speaker 1: look at the Eagles thirty five e tway win over
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Guys, Sam Bradford comes back in
Speaker 1: the lineup after missing the last two games with the
Speaker 1: concussion and the shoulder injury. Offense gets back on track
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. Eagles win was its simple as
Speaker 1: getting Bradford back in the lineup to get the offense
Speaker 1: role on. I think Bradford was a big part of it.
Speaker 1: You look at his play over the last three games
Speaker 1: when he's been healthy, sixty eight percent completion percentage, six
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards, five touchdowns, no interceptions. That that
Speaker 1: strong play out of your quarterback spot. But Sunday to me,
Speaker 1: was all about Billy Davis. You look at the fact
Speaker 1: that they rushed with their front three, their front seven
Speaker 1: didn't really need the blitz drop back into coverage, and guys,
Speaker 1: don't forget they turned back the clock. It was twenty
Speaker 1: fourteen again with the special teams in defense contributing key touchdowns.
Speaker 1: It was. It was a team win by any working definition.
Speaker 1: To me, your thousand Bradford's performance, yeah, I mean Matt
Speaker 1: said that they got They had three return touchdowns with
Speaker 1: the interception return, the pump block, and the Darren's rolls
Speaker 1: pump return touchdown. No love for Bradford though. Bradford was good.
Speaker 1: I mean he was he was okay, I mean three
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards those work been like performance.
Speaker 1: I think they had ten drives, one of them mended
Speaker 1: on a fumble by Barnar at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: Seven were punts and then they had the two touchdown passes.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know some of those drives at the
Speaker 1: end of the game they were killing clock. But Bradford
Speaker 1: didn't make any major mistakes, didn't turn the ball over,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, better than what we've seen through
Speaker 1: you know, better part of the season this year. But
Speaker 1: he did. He did a nice job sort of just
Speaker 1: guiding that game along. Didn't really need to do too
Speaker 1: much and they came out to win. Okay, So a
Speaker 1: big story from the running back standpoint, Darren sprowls at
Speaker 1: kening On. Barnar got the majority of that carries. De
Speaker 1: Marco Murray not as much of an impact in this game. Jimmy,
Speaker 1: what do you think the Eagles should do with the
Speaker 1: running back rotation moving forward, especially as Ryan Matthews gets
Speaker 1: closer to returning to the line up. I think Ryan
Speaker 1: Matthews is the most talented traditional type of back that
Speaker 1: they have on the team. Sprowles obviously is a weapon
Speaker 1: in his own way, and I think they need to
Speaker 1: continue to get him involved in the offense because anytime
Speaker 1: that he's been involved and they've they've gotten him the
Speaker 1: ball in the offense, whether if he handing it off
Speaker 1: or getting him involved in the past the game, good
Speaker 1: things have happened. And so I think Ryan Matthews at
Speaker 1: anytime he's been healthy this season has really played well.
Speaker 1: But he kind of kind of stick with those two guys,
Speaker 1: and I think they're getting Ryan Matthews back is going
Speaker 1: to be a huge boost to this offense overall in
Speaker 1: the rotation moving forward. I would actually move Ryan Matthews
Speaker 1: to the top of the depth chart, mix in Darren Sprawls,
Speaker 1: mixing to Marco Murray. But all of the talk this
Speaker 1: way from Chip Cally, from Pat Schremer, you don't get
Speaker 1: the indication that DeMarco Murray is the lead running back
Speaker 1: on this team anymore, and based on his performance to date,
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be. Ryan Matthews has been
Speaker 1: the bell cow for this team. When he's been healthy.
Speaker 1: As long as he's in there, you have to continue
Speaker 1: to ride the hot hand, all right, Joe, we know
Speaker 1: that Lashawn McCoy speak at running backs, is coming back
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, and as zach Ertz said on Tuesday, he
Speaker 1: probably wants to set the franchise the all time NFL
Speaker 1: rushing record in a single game. How do you think
Speaker 1: the fans first and foremost will react to McCoy's return,
Speaker 1: Mat I'll let's you start here. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: going to be all that pleasant. You look at his
Speaker 1: comments on the way out the door and what he
Speaker 1: insinuated about Chip Cally. I think that Eagles fans it's
Speaker 1: going to be a mixed bag at best, and he's
Speaker 1: probably gonna he's probably gonna hear more booze than cheers.
Speaker 1: I would think, Okay, Jimmy, he has a sheriff fans.
Speaker 1: He had a great career here clearly with the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and and now I think the fans really see him
Speaker 1: as as he's an In my opinion, he's he's an
Speaker 1: immature guy, and you know, fun guy to talk to,
Speaker 1: good player, but immature and is apt to say some
Speaker 1: dumb things. And I think fans are going to react
Speaker 1: to that, all right, Jimmy, from an exit an O standpoint,
Speaker 1: how do you think the Eagles defense will do in
Speaker 1: terms of containing him? Well, obviously, you know the three
Speaker 1: guys up front with Flesher Cox, Benny Logan, Cedri Thornton,
Speaker 1: Benny Logan, Sedgric Thornton are a little bit banged up,
Speaker 1: still to be determined, you know, whether they'll be ready
Speaker 1: to go for you know, this game this week. But
Speaker 1: I think the two guys that really have to play
Speaker 1: well this week are Connor Barwin and Brandon Graham setting
Speaker 1: the edge because Lashaw McCoy, as we've seem like to
Speaker 1: get outside. And then even the corners I think are
Speaker 1: going to be a big part with Byron Maxwell on
Speaker 1: the one side and Eric Row on the other side,
Speaker 1: I think they have to step up and do a
Speaker 1: good job tackling in the run game as well. Matt,
Speaker 1: do you think that the Eagles can keep McCoy Johndre
Speaker 1: a hundred yards He's had three one to your performances,
Speaker 1: I do. I think the Eagles this is the game
Speaker 1: where you start to get back on track stopping the run.
Speaker 1: Obviously that they kind of had that month there from
Speaker 1: the Dallas game all the way up until the New
Speaker 1: England game where the run defense really struggled. But if
Speaker 1: you take away Sammy Watkins over the top, if you
Speaker 1: let's Tyrod Taylor to me, you stop everybody else and
Speaker 1: you kind of take your chances. With Sean McQuay, I
Speaker 1: don't think he has a big game. He's gonna want
Speaker 1: a big game, but I think the front seven continues
Speaker 1: their strong play from last week. He might not get
Speaker 1: one hundred point, he might get ninety eight. He's Mat

Speaker 1: sixteen available now. Welcome to our exclusive one on one
Speaker 1: with head coach Chip Kelly, presented by Wah Wah Coach
Speaker 1: Great game for you on Sunday against New England Big Win.
Speaker 1: Let's start with quarterback Sam Bradford very efficient. How did
Speaker 1: he how did he play when you watch him sending
Speaker 1: nice job. You know he's protected the ball and um
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, even before the Patriots game,
Speaker 1: kept us moving off on. So it was, you know,
Speaker 1: a weird game. In the third quarter. We didn't really
Speaker 1: have the ball because we scored on an interception return
Speaker 1: in a part return. But I thought Sam did a
Speaker 1: really nice shot. Was good to have him back in control.
Speaker 1: Those two touchdowns in the red zone would impress you
Speaker 1: so much about his throws under pressure, moving into pocket,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Yeah, you know you gotta capitalize, especially gets
Speaker 1: to the team as good as the Patriots when you
Speaker 1: get down on the red zone and you really want
Speaker 1: to come away with seven instead of three, just because
Speaker 1: of how potent they are on the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. And he made a nice strowe and catches
Speaker 1: to Zach Artzas acted a good job on a double move,
Speaker 1: and Sam put the ball exactly where Zach could get
Speaker 1: it on the top shelf in the back when no
Speaker 1: one else could get it. And then the other throws
Speaker 1: the exact opposite. It's tight coverage. It's got to be
Speaker 1: kind of a down and dirty throw. It's got to
Speaker 1: be low and where only the receiver can go get it,
Speaker 1: and that's him and Jordan run the right page on
Speaker 1: that one. So two different throws with two critical throws
Speaker 1: for us. In the time that Sam has been here,
Speaker 1: how would you describe his level of you know, growing
Speaker 1: into the locker room, his play on the field, and
Speaker 1: just kind of his relationships with all of this team.
Speaker 1: He's done a really good job, you know, and he
Speaker 1: continues to get better the more time he's with us,
Speaker 1: more experience, as you can continue to see him get
Speaker 1: better and better in terms of what we're trying to
Speaker 1: do here. On the defensive side of the ball, Brandon
Speaker 1: Graham was drafted to play in a four to three
Speaker 1: hand down in the dirt. He's made the transition at
Speaker 1: the outside linebacker. How do you think he's done that, coach?
Speaker 1: I mean, as you've seen him through your three years here,
Speaker 1: what has enabled him to become so effective out there? Well?
Speaker 1: I think he's built to be an outside linebacker. You know,
Speaker 1: there's not many two hundred and sixty pound defensive ends
Speaker 1: in this league anymore. It's a bigger position in the
Speaker 1: fourth three scheme at defensive end, but he's built to
Speaker 1: be an outside linebacker. He's a dynamic pass rusher, very powerful,
Speaker 1: can overpower tackles. He also sets the edge. It's very
Speaker 1: tough to run the ball against him. And he's done
Speaker 1: a nice shop in terms of learning coverages and things
Speaker 1: like that. So I think he's transitioned really well. Eric
Speaker 1: Rose played cornerback and safety in college. He's a cornerback here.
Speaker 1: What are the physical characteristics that distinguish in your system
Speaker 1: or in the NFL a cornerback in safety. Well, he's
Speaker 1: tall and long, and it's got a great man coverage
Speaker 1: skills systematter, just getting comfortable and getting experience. The more
Speaker 1: Eric has played for us, the better he's been. But
Speaker 1: he looks like an NFL prototypical corner that's what most
Speaker 1: people want out there. You know, tall, long guys that
Speaker 1: can run, and that's where he fits into our scheme.
Speaker 1: Are there mental characteristics mental traits that you look for
Speaker 1: as well that distinguish a cornerbacker is safety? No, I
Speaker 1: mean I think obviously just having a real good football
Speaker 1: acumen and understanding what we want from a defensive standpoint.
Speaker 1: The more you can understand what the other ten guys
Speaker 1: are doing, and then how the offenses are trying to
Speaker 1: attack to benefit you. Whether you're playing corner on our safety.
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are the opponent on Sunday. Their defense has
Speaker 1: been very effective. What do they do so well on
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. You know, Rex always has
Speaker 1: a really good blitz package that he's going to bring
Speaker 1: against you. They they're stout on first and second down
Speaker 1: and try to get you into third down situations and
Speaker 1: then come with all sorts of different blitzes on third
Speaker 1: down to effect affect your passing game and try to
Speaker 1: get you off the field very quickly. But he's very
Speaker 1: sound and what he does. He's got some really good playmakers.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Mario Williams is playing really really well.
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes at the other defensive end is playing well.
Speaker 1: He's got some pretty good secondary guys. Gilmore is one
Speaker 1: of the top corners that will face. So it's it's
Speaker 1: a good it's a good group that we get matched
Speaker 1: up with and be an exciting challenge. Their offense has
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can run around a lot, who can
Speaker 1: also make every throw. What kind of challenges that for
Speaker 1: the defense? Um, you know you're it's going into maybe
Speaker 1: like a Cam Newton type role. Different type of quarterback
Speaker 1: from a size standpoint, but the fact that there is
Speaker 1: quarterback quarterback run and design quarterback run, not just scrambles.
Speaker 1: So Tyrod's a very very good athlete. You got to
Speaker 1: be aware of him in terms of where he is.
Speaker 1: And not only does he throw the ball really well
Speaker 1: and um to a good bunch of good receivers, he
Speaker 1: has the ability if everybody's covered, to take it and
Speaker 1: pull it down and run for the first down. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna make sure we're really discipplined in our rush
Speaker 1: lines against him. What's your opinion of Sammy Watkins. He's
Speaker 1: a hack of a receiver, you know, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: he's going to be a big challenge for us. He's
Speaker 1: obviously the number one threat um. He was a top
Speaker 1: five dropt pick for a reason. Uh. You know, a
Speaker 1: real talented, big, strong, physical receiver is Charles Clay similar
Speaker 1: to anyone you've played. Is he a real receiving threat
Speaker 1: down the field, and he's more of a short yardage
Speaker 1: now He's everything. He's a really good tight end that
Speaker 1: was a acquisition firm in the offseason. You know, to
Speaker 1: compliment Woods and Walkins outside. They got a real real
Speaker 1: threatened him as a tight end. He's done a really
Speaker 1: nice job. And Greg Roman is Japan's corner, doesn't real
Speaker 1: good job of getting those guys the ball. Talking to
Speaker 1: the defense this week about playing with Sean McCoy and
Speaker 1: his ability to cut back and reverse feel they keep
Speaker 1: using the word discipline. How do you emphasize discipline during
Speaker 1: the course of a week. Well, it's just the same
Speaker 1: thing we always do. You need to make sure you
Speaker 1: get eleven guys running to the ball. You gotta play
Speaker 1: good team defense and make sure we tackle one coach,
Speaker 1: Thanks very much, good lolok on Sunday, and thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us for our exclusive one on one interview
Speaker 1: with Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, presented by Wah Wah.

Speaker 1: We welcome you back, Dave Spidero, Joe Dicamera, our final
Speaker 1: segment here on Eagles three sixty and Joe. We've talked
Speaker 1: a lot about the Bills and the weapons that they
Speaker 1: have and how dangerous they are and When we feature
Speaker 1: the Eagles wide receivers, we talk about Jordan Matthews sixty
Speaker 1: one catches nice here, He's come a long way. Nelson Agil,
Speaker 1: you want to get more production from him, zero catches,
Speaker 1: two targets. Last week in New England Eagles first round
Speaker 1: Drafttick trying to find his comfort zone and it hasn't
Speaker 1: come yet. Your thoughts on Agiler, You just hope he
Speaker 1: turns the corner. You know, you gotta contin you to
Speaker 1: coach him up. I know there's some thought that you know,
Speaker 1: the route running's not quite as sharp as as would
Speaker 1: be preferred. And listen, he was drafted in a spot
Speaker 1: to help this team. You know that he's supposed to
Speaker 1: be better in year three than year one, But you
Speaker 1: also know in your first round pick, there's an expectation
Speaker 1: of some degree of contribution greater than this in year one.
Speaker 1: So it's part of why the Eagles are five and
Speaker 1: seven football team. They simply need more help from the
Speaker 1: outside receivers. And he's I think the main guy that
Speaker 1: you look to outside and say there's opportunity for growth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: with Josh Huff too, And I can't understand where Josh
Speaker 1: Huff has gone in this offense. After scoring touchdowns and
Speaker 1: back to back games at Lincoln Financial Field, he's been
Speaker 1: non existent, So there's a shake up there. Miles Austin
Speaker 1: released Jonathan krauss In. Maybe Jonathan Krauss is the one
Speaker 1: who comes and gives us Eagles wide receiver course from twos.
Speaker 1: They certainly need it from receivers not named Jordan Matthews.
Speaker 1: And we'll see if in this final quarter of the season.
Speaker 1: Nelson Aglor steps up. What's ahead on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com.
Speaker 1: We've got our emros was on the menu segment for
Speaker 1: you right here. On Thursday, Glenn mcnow joins me in
Speaker 1: studio his full predictions of the week. He's been on
Speaker 1: target the last couple of weeks. Here we also have
Speaker 1: Merril Reese, the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles, in studio
Speaker 1: as he gets ready for the stretch run, and we
Speaker 1: go behind enemy lines to find out the very latest
Speaker 1: on the surging Buffalo Bills. What do you think win loss?
Speaker 1: What's you feel right now? I think the Eagles win
Speaker 1: the game. Okay, that sounds very halting, drudging, forced, and
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I believe. I'm not sure, but if
Speaker 1: I had to say, if I had to say, I'm
Speaker 1: going Eagles done well, the real Philadelphia Eagles, please stand up,
Speaker 1: Please stand up for Joe to camera, Dave Spidero, we
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us in Eagles three sixty have
Speaker 1: yourselves are great? Eagles dead to the wat
