Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, and welcome to Eagles Free sixty Days Federow
Speaker 1: Chris McPherson. We're here at the Novacarret Complex, and while
Speaker 1: it's a day off for the players, we have a
Speaker 1: great show for you in just a little bit. Head
Speaker 1: coach Ship Kelly, starting quarterback Mark Sanchez joining me in studio,
Speaker 1: and Chris, let's before we go ahead, let's take a
Speaker 1: look back at a Monday night football game that was
Speaker 1: all about the Indianapolis Colts and further illustrates how the
Speaker 1: NFC East is a two team race. Yes, it is
Speaker 1: between the Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants coming
Speaker 1: off their bye week, you have thought they were shown
Speaker 1: some signs of life. That was not the case as
Speaker 1: they lost forty to twenty four. The offense struggle throughout
Speaker 1: the course of the game, once again without running back
Speaker 1: with John Jennings and the defense already losing John Beeson
Speaker 1: for the season, loses Prince and Mukamara to a biceps injury,
Speaker 1: struggle throughout the course of the game, Andrew Luck through
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, and the Giants ever since that loss back
Speaker 1: on Black Sunday have not been the same team day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the Giants really struggling the Redskins as well, and
Speaker 1: meanwhile at the top of the NFC East to Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles sitting there at the midway point of the twenty
Speaker 1: fourteen season, with a Monday night game against the Carolina
Speaker 1: Fancers upcoming, and the Cowboys in London as we speak,
Speaker 1: preparing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. You mentioned Black Sunday. Well,
Speaker 1: Black Sunday was a pretty popular game four Eagles fans
Speaker 1: this year, and we figured we'd have a little fun today.
Speaker 1: It's Election Tuesday. We hope you get out and vote,
Speaker 1: and we asked you today to vote on the following
Speaker 1: categories Favorite Win, Most Improved Player, Best offseason Acquisition, Biggest
Speaker 1: Play of the Season, Midseason MVP. We got a lot
Speaker 1: of responses, Chris, and we have a lot to get
Speaker 1: to showing the fan results as well as our votes
Speaker 1: in those categories. Do you think we agree? I'm all
Speaker 1: five of all. I don't know what you voted for,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna find out. We will see. So it's
Speaker 1: our midterm election. If you will, it is our midterm election. Now,
Speaker 1: we're not going to have any politicians or governors or
Speaker 1: mayor's comp on the show. But I'm going to exit
Speaker 1: and you're gonna bring on the head coach. I think
Speaker 1: this is an upgrade. The head coach, Chip Kelly, joins
Speaker 1: me in studio. Got a lot to talk to him
Speaker 1: about Eagle six and two. But you know how Chip is,
Speaker 1: He's focused on the day, so we'll get his thoughts
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday when we return to Eagles three sixty.
Speaker 1: Septa is the way to get to game. I love
Speaker 1: taking the subway down there because I feel like i'm

Speaker 1: even get to the station. There's a sense of camaraderie
Speaker 1: because Philly loves their sports teams. It's really fun. It's Philadelphia. Hi.

Speaker 1: There's people ringing bells above me, there's honking going on,
Speaker 1: there's trees flying by. It's fantastic. Time Now for our
Speaker 1: exclusive one on one interview with head coach Chip Kelly.
Speaker 1: Here in studio, I'm Dave Spidero. Thanks for joining us, Coach.
Speaker 1: Good job with the run game. A lot of production lately,
Speaker 1: can you talk about the progress you've made in that department.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's progress made. We led the National
Speaker 1: Football League and rushing, so I don't know why people
Speaker 1: gave basket about our run game. We got the best
Speaker 1: running back in the league and we run it all
Speaker 1: the time. So I think what we did on Sunday
Speaker 1: was typical of what we normally do. But the numbers
Speaker 1: early in the season were quite to the level of
Speaker 1: where they've been the last few games here. It's been
Speaker 1: huge games like that. I don't think they're huge numbers.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been for what we consider as normal
Speaker 1: for us around now, so I think we're doing a
Speaker 1: better job. But it's kind of what we expect around here.
Speaker 1: Deep group of running backs, Chip, how do you go about,
Speaker 1: you know, finding a rhythm for them, keeping them fresh?
Speaker 1: Is there? Is there you go with a hot hand?
Speaker 1: Is it okay? Can't just talk about how you want
Speaker 1: to keep those guys going, scandals all that, So I'll
Speaker 1: just call the plays and it's over in a game.
Speaker 1: We don't matter to me who's in we call plays.
Speaker 1: Every running back can run every play, So Dud's just
Speaker 1: rotate those guys on how he feels he needs to
Speaker 1: put them in a game. You've mentioned the other day
Speaker 1: that you had seen Mark Sanchez since his high school days.
Speaker 1: What traits does he carried through from those days. He's
Speaker 1: very athletic. You know, you can watch He's got a
Speaker 1: real athleticism in terms of how he drops and how
Speaker 1: he gets rid of the ball. He's got a very
Speaker 1: quick release. I think he's an accurate passer. You know,
Speaker 1: now getting to know him since he's been here since
Speaker 1: last April's he's very sharp from a football standpoint. He's
Speaker 1: got a great background. Obviously, he came from a really
Speaker 1: good college program in usc to todd him and learned
Speaker 1: a lot of really good things when he was with
Speaker 1: the Jets, so when he came in here he can
Speaker 1: really speak the language he can talk. He's been exposed
Speaker 1: to a lot of different things, and he's got a
Speaker 1: wealth of experience because he's played so much in this league.
Speaker 1: You know, there's not many guys that have played as
Speaker 1: much football as him that ever became available. You know,
Speaker 1: he's been a two AFC Championship games, so he's a
Speaker 1: playoff testing quarterback. He's got over sixty wins in the
Speaker 1: National Football League so you know, he's everything we thought
Speaker 1: we were gonna get when we got him here. I've
Speaker 1: always said you needed two quarterbacks and the fact that
Speaker 1: he had to go in the game for us, I've
Speaker 1: always felt like if he went in the game, would
Speaker 1: just be like another starter going in the game, and
Speaker 1: that's what he showed when he got in there against Houston.
Speaker 1: Not every team has been successful in building depth at
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. You've done that here. Can you talk
Speaker 1: about that the process of identifying I just I think
Speaker 1: when I first got here, we were fortunate as we
Speaker 1: had two starting quarterbacks and Nick Mike, and then when
Speaker 1: Mike chose to go outsewhere we were, it was a
Speaker 1: real position for us, So we want to go get somebody,
Speaker 1: and the fact that Mark was available and fit what
Speaker 1: we were looking for. Um just worked out for us
Speaker 1: on the defensive side, replacing Jamiko. Ryan's talk about the
Speaker 1: strength that you see from the group that's out there
Speaker 1: and just overcoming his absence. Real good solid football players.
Speaker 1: Um both at Showy and Casey are are smart. They're
Speaker 1: intuitive football players. They They've got a really good feel
Speaker 1: for what we're doing defensively. They've both been in the
Speaker 1: system for two years now, so they got a real
Speaker 1: good understanding of what Billy and Coachman are trying to
Speaker 1: get accomplished their um and they all kind of work
Speaker 1: off each other. And I think obviously Michael Kendricks, who's
Speaker 1: been in there the whole time, played a really good
Speaker 1: game for us on Sunday against Houston in his first
Speaker 1: extended time from being back, you know, has has grown
Speaker 1: as as us since we've been with him, you know,
Speaker 1: because he's in his second year in the system. So
Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna miss Demiko's leadership, You're gonna miss Demiko's
Speaker 1: calmness out there kind of everybody kind of looks at
Speaker 1: him to make the calls. But I think those other
Speaker 1: guys are ready to step up and do their job.
Speaker 1: What are you seen in the run? Defense has been
Speaker 1: outstanding all season, the same thing we've said since day one.
Speaker 1: I think our starts our defensive line. They've done a
Speaker 1: great job in based defense, all three of those guys,
Speaker 1: actually all six of those guys who end up rotating
Speaker 1: in there. Our outside linebacker play has been outstanding in
Speaker 1: terms of setting the edges and keeping the ball inside
Speaker 1: and in front of us, and what we want to
Speaker 1: do when I think we're getting real good safety play
Speaker 1: out of Malcolm Jenkins, been player that we didn't get
Speaker 1: it a year ago. So you know Malcolm and they
Speaker 1: are doing a really good job. So we got everybody
Speaker 1: playing really good team run defense. Carolina Panthers in Channa
Speaker 1: on Monday night. What are you seeing from that football team?
Speaker 1: Good football team, very good defensively. Probably has the best
Speaker 1: linebacker in the league in Luke Keekley's He's averaging over
Speaker 1: ten plus tackles a game since he's been in Yere.
Speaker 1: He was he was the leading tackler in college football
Speaker 1: for three straight years. He's a leading tackler in the NFL.
Speaker 1: He's just one of those guys that's always around the ball,
Speaker 1: very instinctive player. Set a record last year with the
Speaker 1: most tackles, and I think he had last year at
Speaker 1: twenty four tackles in one game. The other linebacker, Thomas Davis,
Speaker 1: is an out standing player himself. They got a real good,
Speaker 1: solid front four in front of them that protect them
Speaker 1: very well. The offensive side of the ball, it obviously
Speaker 1: revolves around Cam Newton is one of the most dynamic
Speaker 1: two way players at the quarterback position in this league.
Speaker 1: He can beat a running he can beat you throwing.
Speaker 1: He's a very productive thrower. He's got two really good
Speaker 1: running backs in D'angela Williams and Jonathan Stewart. So it
Speaker 1: should be a heck of a game. We're excited about
Speaker 1: going on on Monday night in front of our fans.
Speaker 1: The latest addition to the roster, Chris Prasinski. Can you
Speaker 1: talk about what you like about him? Were you at
Speaker 1: your outstanding special teams player? You know, a real four
Speaker 1: core team special teams player. Um, we'll add depth for
Speaker 1: us at the safety position behind Nate and Malcolm, but
Speaker 1: we'll really be able to plug in right away as
Speaker 1: a special teams player. And he's a bigger body. He's
Speaker 1: a six foot two, two hund ten pound safety, so
Speaker 1: he's he's bigger than the safeties that we have right now.
Speaker 1: So he'll be able to help a little bit, maybe
Speaker 1: take a load off some of the linebackers in terms
Speaker 1: of some of the special teams if Casey and Nacho
Speaker 1: are playing a little bit more there, he can play
Speaker 1: some of the bigger special teams positions. He's not a
Speaker 1: smaller guy, so real excited to get him in here.
Speaker 1: Was was a productive player starter for the Jaguars, just
Speaker 1: got caught up with an injury, so he was he
Speaker 1: was available for us. We worked him out last week
Speaker 1: and when we had a roster spot opened with Demiko,
Speaker 1: obviously we thought he was the best position to bring in,
Speaker 1: especially from a special team standpoint. All Right, some of
Speaker 1: the night Football Eagles and the Panthers coach Chip Kelly,
Speaker 1: we thank you for joining us in studio here on
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles dot com. A life is more than a heartbeat.

Speaker 1: the frontiers of heartcare every day, we never forget what
Speaker 1: we're really looking at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals. An Eagles win,
Speaker 1: you win. Let's go up fore Dunkin Donuts medium hotter

Speaker 1: need throughout the Greater Philadelphia Region. Welcome back Dave Spandarow,
Speaker 1: Chris McPherson Here Eagles three sixty Chris, it's the time
Speaker 1: of the year when fantasy football owners are trying to
Speaker 1: win down the stretch to get into the postseason. Yes
Speaker 1: they are, and one quarterback who could effect the race
Speaker 1: late in the year, Mark Sanchez through for over two
Speaker 1: hundred yards and two touchdowns. Should you add them to
Speaker 1: your fantasy roster? Bo Wolf and Joe Dolan from Fantasy
Speaker 1: Guru dot com discuss in our weekly Fantasy Spin segment. Well,
Speaker 1: we welcome you inside the Fantasy Spin once again here
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. I'm Bo Wolf, that's Joe
Speaker 1: Dolan and Joe. Let's talk about a man even more
Speaker 1: handsome than the two of us, Mark Sanchez, the guy
Speaker 1: who is going to be playing quarterback for the Eagles
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future, at least in terms of fantasy value.
Speaker 1: Where do you put Sanchez? Is he an every week starter?
Speaker 1: If you have a list of rankings at home, and
Speaker 1: you've got your roster, and you've got your fantasy leaderboard,
Speaker 1: here's essentially what I would plan to do. Cross out
Speaker 1: Nick Fole's name and put Mark Sanchez his name on
Speaker 1: the list, because that's exactly where I'm putting Mark Sanchez
Speaker 1: on my personal depth chart. I think he's a mid
Speaker 1: to low end quarterback one and the benefit from Mark
Speaker 1: Sanchez is the offensive line is getting healthier. Jason Kelsey
Speaker 1: came back this week against the Houston Texans, and you know,
Speaker 1: we played really well. I think he'll shake off the
Speaker 1: snap issues and getting Evan Mathis back is going to
Speaker 1: be an absolutely huge development for this offense. So the
Speaker 1: offensive line is getting better. We clearly have an elite
Speaker 1: receiver here in Jeremy Macklin, Zach ertz Riley Cooper, Josh Huff,
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews. All of these players are making plays in
Speaker 1: the passing year. And I also think Mark Sanchez is
Speaker 1: going to help the running game because he's a good
Speaker 1: athlete and I think you have to respect him on
Speaker 1: those zone read runs. I think Mark Sanchez for the
Speaker 1: rest of the year is a start worthy fantasy quarterback
Speaker 1: without a doubt. Go and pick him up off the
Speaker 1: waiver wire. I think Mark Sanchez as we stand right now,
Speaker 1: is going to be the starting quarterback on a lot
Speaker 1: of fantasy championship teams. And for this week specifically, you
Speaker 1: like the match up against Carolina. Carolina's defense is a
Speaker 1: mess right now. Bo's it's just a defense that seems
Speaker 1: like it's thinking too much. Guys are constantly out of position.
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of talent on the back end,
Speaker 1: Their linebackers aren't playing as well as you would expect.
Speaker 1: I think this is a great matchup for Sanchez. If
Speaker 1: you pick him up, run out there and start him
Speaker 1: this week, I think he puts up numbers. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: I know you talked about this before, but because of
Speaker 1: guys like Sanchez, there is always value on the quarterback market.
Speaker 1: For that reason. If you have Big Ben Roethlisberger, who's
Speaker 1: got those crazy amount of touchdones over the last two weeks,
Speaker 1: I guess selling high on Big Ben. Yeah, And the
Speaker 1: reason is Mark Sanchez. And the reason is because you
Speaker 1: can go out and get a guy like Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: You could have gotten him two weeks ago. He had
Speaker 1: a huge game this week. Ben Roethlisberger is a guy
Speaker 1: who was on waiver wires. He was probably dropped earlier
Speaker 1: in the year after he didn't throw a touchdown against
Speaker 1: Baltimore earlier in the season. If you can get value
Speaker 1: for a quarterback and you think you can replace that quarterback,
Speaker 1: say you picked up Ryan Tannehill, or you bought low
Speaker 1: on Matthew Stafford, or you're gonna get Mark Sanchez this week.
Speaker 1: If you can get a piece that's useful for another
Speaker 1: quarterback on your roster, I do it every time. Because
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's on your bench putting up forty points. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's on your bench. Just go trade
Speaker 1: for somebody who's going to be in your lineup every week.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I would do, and I think Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is a prime trade. High came, did it? How
Speaker 1: about Lamar Miller, the running back in Miami? You mentioned
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. Miller has been productive, but he got hurt
Speaker 1: this week. He's got a shoulder injury. We don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what his status is. Looks like he might be
Speaker 1: able to play this week, but how valuable do you
Speaker 1: expect him to be? The problem is the matchup is
Speaker 1: really bad against the Detroit Lions and Lamar Miller. The
Speaker 1: concern I have. Number one, it's an ac joint spring
Speaker 1: which are really nagging. We've seen Jordan Cameron to the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns deal with one this year. Really not something
Speaker 1: you get over very easily. Jimmy Graham's another example of
Speaker 1: a guy who's had one. Also, Lamar Miller had shoulder
Speaker 1: problems in college, which really really raises the red flag here.
Speaker 1: The problem for me is I don't view this as
Speaker 1: a situation I want to invest in. If Lamar Miller
Speaker 1: is out, Daniel Thomas is not somebody I want to
Speaker 1: pick up. The Dolphins wanted to cut him. They only
Speaker 1: brought him back because they had injuries in their backfield.
Speaker 1: Damian Williams, the rookie, is talented, but he also got
Speaker 1: banged up this past week. I'd rather just sit and
Speaker 1: wait on it until Lamar Miller comes back, because I
Speaker 1: don't want to mess with either of the guys who
Speaker 1: are going to be in that backfield, especially in this
Speaker 1: match up. All right, Joe, Well, every week we got
Speaker 1: to go through those waiver wire pickups of the week.
Speaker 1: Who do you have for us? Number one is Alfred
Speaker 1: Blue of the Houston Texans. Obviously you saw Arion Foster
Speaker 1: go out with the groin injury, which potentially is related
Speaker 1: to his hamstring injury that's been bothering him all year.
Speaker 1: I think Alfred Blue is a guy after the Texans
Speaker 1: Week ten by could potentially come in and get some
Speaker 1: volume for you if Aaron Foster's groin injury keeps him out.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately I've been banging this drum. Aaron Foster's a
Speaker 1: guy who's just constantly injured, and I know that the
Speaker 1: Texans were running him into the ground, but you just
Speaker 1: always have to keep that kind of filed away in
Speaker 1: the back of your mind. And Alfred Blue could find
Speaker 1: himself really relevant. And there's two more guys who are
Speaker 1: also coming off injuries of their own who I think
Speaker 1: could be relevant down the stretch. Number one is Kyle Rudolph.
Speaker 1: At the Minnesota Vikings, you saw Teddy Bridgewater finally start
Speaker 1: to target the tight end position of late. Actually, Chase
Speaker 1: Ford got his first touchdown this past weekend, major contributor
Speaker 1: when he was here. Both obviously, I think Kyle Rudolph
Speaker 1: is a talented guy who could come back and contribute
Speaker 1: to your fantasy team. It tight end is a really
Speaker 1: rough position right now. There's really only one shrewdly super
Speaker 1: reliable guy, and that's Rob Gronkowski. So you're kind of
Speaker 1: playing the waiver wire and playing matchups each and every
Speaker 1: week anyway, So why not take a shot on Kyle
Speaker 1: Rudolph and if, by the grace of somebody above above,
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews is still on the waiver wire, go pick
Speaker 1: him up right now. The San Diego Chargers offense and
Speaker 1: running game especially has stalled the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I think Ryan Matthews is going to have a monster
Speaker 1: role when he finally comes back from his knee injury.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Joe Dolan from Fantasy Guru dot com
Speaker 1: looking to take you to a fantasy championship. Follow him
Speaker 1: on Twitter at fg Underscore Dolan and remember, we'll see
Speaker 1: you next week right here on the Fantasy Spin. Thanks
Speaker 1: Bo and Joe. Now, enough about Sanchez from a fantasy standpoint,
Speaker 1: How about the real Mark Sanchez. Yeah, the real Mark
Speaker 1: Sanchez preparing to start for the Eagles on Monday night,
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers in town. What's going through the mind
Speaker 1: of Sanchez on this Tuesday. We'll find out when we
Speaker 1: return to Eagles three sixty. Don't miss it. An exclusive
Speaker 1: sit down with Mark Sanchez had Mark Park work. A
Speaker 1: life is more than a heartbeat. It's more than what
Speaker 1: you see on a cat scan or eco cardiogram. And
Speaker 1: although we see some of the most rare and complicated
Speaker 1: heart conditions and continue to advance the frontiers of heartcare
Speaker 1: every day. We never forget what we're really looking at.
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals. Eagles Fans, Let's go a bully
Speaker 1: Dunkin Donuts medium hotterized coffee. The day after when Eagles
Speaker 1: win with the Duncan Mobile, Automo Eagles Win America Run
Speaker 1: on Duncan. Duncan Donuts is helping more area youth get
Speaker 1: in the game through the Touchdowns for a Kids program.
Speaker 1: For every Philadelphia Eagles touchdown, Duncan Donuts will donate two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars to Good Sports, bringing new equipment
Speaker 1: and resources to youth sports organizations in need throughout the
Speaker 1: Greater Philadelphia Reach In Hi, Everyone welcome inside the studio.
Speaker 1: Dave Spidero with Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez. We are ready
Speaker 1: to rock with Mark at the quarterback position. How's life
Speaker 1: changed since Sunday? It's been a little different. My phone's
Speaker 1: been kind of blown. Imagine to change my service, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: or just throw this thing in the scuocula. Well, how
Speaker 1: do you handle it more? Because it is a different
Speaker 1: from the like from the media, standpoint and the attention standpoint.
Speaker 1: It's a lot different than the first eight weeks of
Speaker 1: the season, right. Fortunately, you know, I've been through similar
Speaker 1: situations in New York, a large media market obviously, so
Speaker 1: it's business as usual for me. A couple more interviews,
Speaker 1: but that's no big deal. Always love coming on with
Speaker 1: you guys, Thank you. But this is fun stuff, you know.
Speaker 1: The other stuff it's does the second time around help
Speaker 1: you kind of get the media more or you know,
Speaker 1: I felt like just these last couple of days that
Speaker 1: the most important thing to me was to not change
Speaker 1: because I didn't change my preparation, and that's why I
Speaker 1: was ready to play on Sunday. Plenty of mistakes and
Speaker 1: plenty of things to clean up. By no means am
Speaker 1: I saying it's perfect, but I knew what to expect.
Speaker 1: I was ready. I didn't get caught off guard. Same
Speaker 1: thing with this. You know, I know what the talking
Speaker 1: points are, I know what coaches game plan going into
Speaker 1: the week is, and you know, I echo those same
Speaker 1: things in all my interviews because that's what I truly believe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe in the system. I believe in coach Kelly,
Speaker 1: and you know, we got a lot of work to do,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be fun. So I did this story.
Speaker 1: I talked to two quarterbacks who'd come into similar situations.
Speaker 1: Donovan mcnabvi goes down in two thousand and two, A J.
Speaker 1: Feeley steps in. Jnoth mcnapp goes down at two thousand
Speaker 1: and six. Of course, see steps in. They both had success,
Speaker 1: and they both said that they felt the whole organization
Speaker 1: and the city really supported them. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: everybody wants Mark Sanchez and the Eagles to succeed? And
Speaker 1: it's you know, you never want to see your fellow
Speaker 1: players go down, whether it was Demiko or Nick, those
Speaker 1: are two important players and pivotal players to our success. Well,
Speaker 1: once you find out what injury is, you diagnose it. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's our next step? It's the next man out. And
Speaker 1: that's how everybody feels, whether it's Malk getting in there
Speaker 1: for Kelsey, whether it's Tobin playing for Harman's or for Mathis.
Speaker 1: I mean he's played all over the place, Gardner coming in.
Speaker 1: That's the way we feel. And as soon as those
Speaker 1: guys step up, the other players, the coaches, everybody in
Speaker 1: the building, they just embrace him and naturally the fan
Speaker 1: base does the same thing, so that's encouraging. It doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to work that way everywhere around the league, doesn't.
Speaker 1: You know, it's this is a special place, and I
Speaker 1: think one of the coolest things is seeing how close
Speaker 1: all the buildings are, the facilities are. You know, you
Speaker 1: got the Sixers and Flyers, the Phillies and us and
Speaker 1: we're all right here in a two block radius. And
Speaker 1: that's awesome. You know, in New York everything's so spread out.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't see those guys as much. And
Speaker 1: it's a track to get to a Brooklyn Nets game
Speaker 1: or to a New York Knicks game or Yankees or Mets.
Speaker 1: You know, that's hard. And here, I mean it's right
Speaker 1: down the street. You're here at this facility all day anyway.
Speaker 1: You walk over to the game and walk back, catch
Speaker 1: a couple of innings, catch a couple periods of the
Speaker 1: hockey game. Whatever. So that's a cool Philly guy already,
Speaker 1: I guess so. But this city's cool for you. But
Speaker 1: you just get wrapped up in the city and you
Speaker 1: really enjoy it. How's the body feel? I mean, Sunday
Speaker 1: was the first time you'd really been hit right, got
Speaker 1: a couple of massages. I'm feeling good. I'll be ready
Speaker 1: to go, and Coach has a great schedule for us,
Speaker 1: keeping us fresh. What do you think about this offense? Mark?
Speaker 1: And Hell, it's going to translate for you. You know
Speaker 1: we talked about in the off season, but it fits
Speaker 1: with my personality, with my style of play. I love
Speaker 1: the play action stuff. I love being able to get
Speaker 1: out on the move. The dropback stuff is perfect. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff I've read before. And I'm thankful
Speaker 1: for all those reps and the off season, for all
Speaker 1: the reps that Coach gives the backup guys. When you're
Speaker 1: you know, number two and three, you still get reps
Speaker 1: during the week, so you know, I'll just take advantage
Speaker 1: of those and really use this work week to get
Speaker 1: my timing down. With the whiteouts and tight ends backs
Speaker 1: all that, we'll be ready to go. But I'm excited
Speaker 1: about how harsh were you and Coach Musgrave and whoever
Speaker 1: else you watch film with When you watch the game
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Coach Musgrave's real good about whether it's the
Speaker 1: best play you've ever made or the worst play you've
Speaker 1: ever had, about staying even keel and coaching you exactly,
Speaker 1: not telling you what you want to hear, but what
Speaker 1: you need to hear. And so we watched it a
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday and a little bit today, but you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of foot things, a couple of timing issues,
Speaker 1: but for the most part, not a bad game. We
Speaker 1: want to get away with, do away with a couple
Speaker 1: of those turnovers, and we'll be we'll be moving well. Well.
Speaker 1: I would say, have a great game Monday, but that's
Speaker 1: not the way we think around here. Have a great
Speaker 1: rest of your day today, Mark Sanchez, thanks for joining

Speaker 1: Chris here Eagles three sixty on this Tuesday. We asked
Speaker 1: you earlier in the show about the mid term results.
Speaker 1: We asked you to vote earlier today. We got a
Speaker 1: lot of responses, and now Chris and I will weigh
Speaker 1: in on our mid term votes and then we'll get
Speaker 1: to your results. All right, We'll start with the favorite
Speaker 1: win of the twenty fourteen seasons to this point for me,
Speaker 1: Black Sunday against the New York Giants Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 1: The Giants came in red hot, the Eagles poster first
Speaker 1: shutout since nineteen ninety six. It was twice an nothing.
Speaker 1: Po was thrilled up to the very end, and the
Speaker 1: top and all boys and men gave a tremendous halftime performance.
Speaker 1: So Black Sunday for me to Yeah, not an easy
Speaker 1: one to top. But I'm gonna go with the road
Speaker 1: game in Indianapolis. Eagles going out to Indianapolis and beating
Speaker 1: a quality football team. We've seen how good Indianapolis has
Speaker 1: been since that game. The Eagles showing some guts, some determination,
Speaker 1: Nick Foles leading this football team in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: to a comeback win, Cody Parkey delivering in the clutch,
Speaker 1: and the defense making the stop at the end of
Speaker 1: the game. So I'm gonna go with the win over
Speaker 1: Indianapolis as my biggest win so far. Not too bad
Speaker 1: there now the most improved player on the Eagles roster.
Speaker 1: There have been so many contributors to the Eagles six
Speaker 1: and two start. I'm gonna go with a former first
Speaker 1: round pick in linebacker Brandon Graham's second year in the scheme,
Speaker 1: looking so much more fluid able. To add to the
Speaker 1: passions at Bill Davis is bail put out each and
Speaker 1: every week. A lot of people didn't think that he
Speaker 1: would be a huge factor for the defense, but he
Speaker 1: has been integral to the team's success so far. So
Speaker 1: I'm going a branding ram as my most improved player,
Speaker 1: and he was my first choice as well. But in
Speaker 1: the hearit of being different here, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox, former first round draft pick. He's gone from
Speaker 1: a good player and sometimes dominating player to somebody every
Speaker 1: week you can count on to make big plays, to
Speaker 1: be physical, legal success against the run, largely unheralded and
Speaker 1: largely credited to the play of those up front, and
Speaker 1: that includes Fletcher Cox. So bravo for Cox. He has
Speaker 1: really been a force the first half this year. Yes,
Speaker 1: he is number three best offseason acquisition. All Right, I
Speaker 1: could go with the easy way out to say Malcolm Jenkins,
Speaker 1: Darren's Brows, Cody Parkey, all would be very good answers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go bolt with Mark Sanchez. Yes, the Eagles
Speaker 1: are six and two to this point. But it's not
Speaker 1: about being where they're at now. You want to get
Speaker 1: this team into the playoffs, and it's integral. It's vital
Speaker 1: to have that veteran quarterback presence. Chip Kelly said all
Speaker 1: along that he was going to need to quarterbacks Nick
Speaker 1: Foles it down. Sanchez steps in and delivered beautifully in
Speaker 1: the win over Houston, leading the team to twenty four points.
Speaker 1: So to me, having Sanchez guide the offense forever a
Speaker 1: long folds his sideline is going to be crucial to
Speaker 1: the team's postseason run here. That's why I think Sanchez
Speaker 1: ends up being the biggest offseason acquisition. Well, the question
Speaker 1: wasn't ends up being it? Who is it now? I
Speaker 1: think the fact that you have him now, and for
Speaker 1: that reason, I'm gonna go with the easy way out.
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins is solidified the back end of this Eagles defense.
Speaker 1: Three interceptions, clutch play, outstanding leadership, Malcolm Jenkins a tremendous,
Speaker 1: tremendous free agent signing for the Philadelphia Eagles. That's a
Speaker 1: good one there. It's easy way out. So best individual
Speaker 1: play of the season. All off season, we wanted to
Speaker 1: know how Darren's browles were going to fence his offense
Speaker 1: and on a fourth and one as the Eagles were
Speaker 1: struggling against the Jacksonville Jaguars, darrens Bowles gets a ball
Speaker 1: and goes forty nine yards up the middle of the
Speaker 1: defense for the touchdown. It was a great start to
Speaker 1: his two fourteen season. It sent Lincoln Financial Field into
Speaker 1: a frenzy and sparked to comfort behind win. So right
Speaker 1: there that season open forty nine yard touchdown on fourth down,
Speaker 1: I give to Darren Sprowles. It's the best play you
Speaker 1: can probably give about five or six other Darren Sprowles plays.
Speaker 1: He's really been terrific for the Eagles. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: in a different direction and just from a signal standpoint,
Speaker 1: just from a confidence boost, just from a this is
Speaker 1: how Chip Kelly's gonna play it angle. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back to Sunday in Houston. Mark Sanchess comes into the game.
Speaker 1: First play is not a screen pass, it's not a handoff.
Speaker 1: It's on a bootleg. It's nothing safe. It's we're gonna
Speaker 1: throw it down the field into the heart of the
Speaker 1: Texas defense. And in this case, he completes a fifty
Speaker 1: two yard pass to Jeremy Macklin. That's the way Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly plays. That's the way this Eagles team has responded
Speaker 1: to adversity aggressively with confidence, and that's my play of
Speaker 1: the year. Good call right there. Last, but not least,
Speaker 1: mid season MVP, I'm going with Jerry Macklin, the former
Speaker 1: first round pick who was named the Edlock Purge Award
Speaker 1: among the league leaders in receiving yards touchdown as back
Speaker 1: to back performances of one hundred and fifty yards receiving.
Speaker 1: He's been the do it all receiver. If you need
Speaker 1: something in the short game, you need to go deep.
Speaker 1: As Dave just mentioned, Macklin has been clutched for this
Speaker 1: team all season long, especially coming off the ecl So
Speaker 1: for me, Maclin is my mid season of My midseason
Speaker 1: MVP is on the other side of the ball, Linebacker
Speaker 1: Connor Barwin finally unleashed in the pass rush game. He's
Speaker 1: been terrific for the Eagles in every way. So Connor
Speaker 1: Barwin runs away with this one for me. He is
Speaker 1: the Eagles midseason MVP. So you've heard what Chris and
Speaker 1: I think. Now we want to hear what you have
Speaker 1: to think. We thank you so much for your responses
Speaker 1: to our questions of the day list. First, start with
Speaker 1: the favorite win from the fans, Chris, what do you
Speaker 1: think they all agree with you? There's a dude black
Speaker 1: Sunday fifty six percent, the vast majority, but you know
Speaker 1: he can swayed the vote there a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and by the way, thanks to that great fan out
Speaker 1: there were the great fans who said Redskins over Cowboys.
Speaker 1: We got a laugh out of that end. We all
Speaker 1: enjoyed that as much. Most improved player wide receiver Jeremy
Speaker 1: Maclin twenty seven percent over Connor Barwin's eighteen percent. Both
Speaker 1: players really had outstanding Pro Bowl first half of the year. Yes,
Speaker 1: and there's so many players who have contributed to success,
Speaker 1: who have stepped up their games from last season. So
Speaker 1: definitely could have gotten a number of directions there. Number
Speaker 1: three the best obviously the acquisition Darren Sprowl. Yeah, the best.
Speaker 1: It's so hard to argue with that. He makes good
Speaker 1: plays every time he's on the field. Yes, he does.
Speaker 1: Was missed very much so, and that lost Arizona, but
Speaker 1: bounced back in a big way. He got a couple
Speaker 1: of key third down and that went in using And
Speaker 1: how about the best play of the year Darren Sprowles again,
Speaker 1: the punt return for a touchdown against the San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. The big play there again. The Eagles
Speaker 1: special teams have been great the entire first half of
Speaker 1: the year. And Malcolm Jenkins I and T against the Colts.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing with sn it was in a win.
Speaker 1: And the most valuable player Chris je Jeremy mcli and
Speaker 1: hard to argue with that. One pays for a ninety catches,
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred and eighty yards and sixteen touchdowns this year.
Speaker 1: So thank you so much for your responses. We will
Speaker 1: continue to do these kinds of things because the fans
Speaker 1: are so excited out this football team. How can you
Speaker 1: not be? Yeah, six and two, first place, a lot
Speaker 1: to get to this week. We are back tomorrow. We've
Speaker 1: got press conferences at noon, Bill Davis and Pat Schrmer,
Speaker 1: and then Eagles three sixty at five o'clock. Well, thank
Speaker 1: you for joining us today. For Chris, I'm Dave, have yourselves,
Speaker 1: Oh great Eagles Day. M
