Speaker 1: Good evening everyone, Welcome to Eagles three to sixty days
Speaker 1: Fidero Eagles Insider along with Glenn mcnow on this Tuesday.
Speaker 1: We've got some energy going in the Novicare Complex, the
Speaker 1: players back on the field, the Dallas Cowboys firmly insight, Glenn,
Speaker 1: and a season that's been up, been down, we're rather
Speaker 1: down than up down up down. Yeah, it's time now
Speaker 1: to get on a run, is it not? In a
Speaker 1: Tallas Cowboys Sunday night. It's a good first step. It's
Speaker 1: a great time to get on a run. And you
Speaker 1: have the opportunity in Josh, we said all the time,
Speaker 1: must win game against the Cowboys, but here, well it is,
Speaker 1: it really is. It's a division game. You can't afford
Speaker 1: to lose this. But here's the good news about it
Speaker 1: this week. Starting this week and then going over the
Speaker 1: next three Miami at home, Tampa Bay at home, on
Speaker 1: the road in Detroit, four teams that combine nine and twenty. So, Dave,
Speaker 1: if there's ever been the opportunity for the role, this
Speaker 1: is the chance for the role. It's just so hard
Speaker 1: to look ahead with a team that has not really
Speaker 1: found its consistent strides. So hopefully the Eagles really enjoyed
Speaker 1: the bye week. The coaches with all of their self
Speaker 1: scouting the tendencies, correcting the little things. The team comes back,
Speaker 1: the players refreshed, ready to go. Everybody on the practice
Speaker 1: field at least for the warm ups. Today. Let's get
Speaker 1: you caught up with everything going on. Before Glenn and
Speaker 1: I get into the Cowboys, the Eagles, the fantasy world.
Speaker 1: We take you out to Alex Smith and our three
Speaker 1: sixty update. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is
Speaker 1: your three sixty update with the bye week now in
Speaker 1: the rearview mirror. The Eagles were back at the Novacare
Speaker 1: Complex today as they get set for Sunday night's meeting
Speaker 1: in Dallas. Today we heard from Eagles head coach Chip Kelly,
Speaker 1: who spoke about what he and the coaching staff saw
Speaker 1: on film from the first half of the season. You know,
Speaker 1: too many drops. That's the first thing I think with
Speaker 1: everybody we came out of there. We've dropped, dropped too
Speaker 1: many balls, and probably I think we're lasting the league
Speaker 1: and drops or first in the league and drops over
Speaker 1: you look at it, you know, um and a lot
Speaker 1: of things that could have extended drives for us and
Speaker 1: kept us on the field, really affected our third down
Speaker 1: proficiency in terms of holding out of the football, and
Speaker 1: it's um, we gonna do a better job catching football.
Speaker 1: Inside the Eagles locker room, we heard from Ryan Matthews,
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham, and others on what the buye week meant
Speaker 1: for the team. Uh yeah, I mean, you know, midway
Speaker 1: pretty much moved with two seasons. He's a good time.
Speaker 1: I'll reach out and come back. Think of it as
Speaker 1: another season, like starting another season. But yeah, I feeling good,
Speaker 1: feeling good, you know, to get back out there. The
Speaker 1: bye week was was great. Um, you know, being out
Speaker 1: there to beut my team. Let's again and I'm gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, get better with him. I mean, as players,
Speaker 1: we like to buy the rest of the boys, but
Speaker 1: at the same time, we love coming in here every
Speaker 1: day and I'm just being out on the field every day. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean we were three and four and I think
Speaker 1: we were heading in the right direction. So it did
Speaker 1: throw us off a little bit. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: everyone gets to buy. I know that as a team,
Speaker 1: I felt like that was the right time for us
Speaker 1: and just kind of take a break. So I think that, uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody had a person. I'm sure some players
Speaker 1: that don't like to buy, but you know it's a
Speaker 1: lot of us that do as far as like just
Speaker 1: to get away because we've been going so hard all
Speaker 1: the way from April. Get a little break, and then
Speaker 1: you go so hard in camp and then you get
Speaker 1: this long, long haul. You do need a break in between.
Speaker 1: When the Eagles meet the Cowboys on Sunday night, they
Speaker 1: will see Dez Bryant for the first time this season.
Speaker 1: Today we heard from Malcolm Jenkins and Byron Maxwell on
Speaker 1: the challenge that Briant brings to the table. Obviously he
Speaker 1: has other dimension to him, Like they didn't get the
Speaker 1: ball like this this week, but it was going, it
Speaker 1: was going at him. He seemed like he was held him. So, um,
Speaker 1: I saw bits and pieces of it, but I did
Speaker 1: go back and watching the tape this morning. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: he looked healthy. I mean, he's playing fast. I think, no, Richard,
Speaker 1: he just went up against a really good corner in
Speaker 1: Richards Charmon, and you know, Charmon did a good job.
Speaker 1: As for an injury update, every player was back at
Speaker 1: Eagles practice today except for left tackle Jason Peters, who
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly said would sit out today, although we did
Speaker 1: see Peters warming up with the team. The good news
Speaker 1: is that linebacker Keiko Alonzo appears on schedule to play
Speaker 1: on Sunday. You know they because obviously I'm missing time.
Speaker 1: It's never find that to miss time, and you know,
Speaker 1: watch your teammates go out there. But very that will
Speaker 1: wrap things up here from the Novacare Complex. Be sure
Speaker 1: to stay tuned for all the latest Eagles news right
Speaker 1: here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thanks so much, Alex Glenn.
Speaker 1: I need to talk about Jason Peters. I really consider
Speaker 1: him not the best player on the offense, but maybe
Speaker 1: the most valuable player on the offense right now. And
Speaker 1: with Greg Hardy waiting on Sunday night, what do you
Speaker 1: want to see from Jason? What do you think can see?
Speaker 1: What I want to see from Jason Peters is I
Speaker 1: want to see Jason Peters playing in the first quarter
Speaker 1: and in the fourth quarter. What do I need from
Speaker 1: Jason Peters? Realistically, Greg Hardy's a terrific player and a
Speaker 1: great pass rusher, so he needs to doesn't have to
Speaker 1: dominate because you're not going to, but kind of play
Speaker 1: that one even this week and that'll be Okay, what
Speaker 1: impact has Peters and the in and out of the lineup.
Speaker 1: How do you think on the offense? Well, I think
Speaker 1: it's hurt a lot. And part of the issue is
Speaker 1: because you don't know what you've got every week, right,
Speaker 1: So if you know going into the week, going into Sunday,
Speaker 1: you're not going to have where you can play in
Speaker 1: a certain way. But Chip Kelly can't do that, so
Speaker 1: he's got him out there. And then in the middle
Speaker 1: of the first period, Jason Peters goes down. You got
Speaker 1: to scramble. That's a really hard thing for a team
Speaker 1: to do. Indeed, we're gonna talk about the NFC East
Speaker 1: as it stands now, we're talking about fantasy football and
Speaker 1: your world and fantasy football as we get into the
Speaker 1: show here. But next up on Eagles three sixty, Glenn
Speaker 1: and I will talk about the Dallas Cowboys and the
Speaker 1: Eagles side by side. A first look at Sunday Nights
Speaker 1: NFC East Showdown. When you get away from smartphones and

Speaker 1: sixty on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. We come your way
Speaker 1: every Monday through Friday at five o'clock. Thanks so much
Speaker 1: for tuning in. And now we're gonna take a look
Speaker 1: at the Eagles and the Cowboys a little first look.
Speaker 1: We begin, of course, at the quarterback position, Glenn, and
Speaker 1: that's Sam Bradford on the Eagles. We've talked a lot
Speaker 1: about him. How about this name, Matt Castle starting for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys who just cannot win knock on woo and
Speaker 1: five without Tony Romo. And they thought that Matt Castle
Speaker 1: would come in and be better in brand Ween, he
Speaker 1: wasn't better than Brandon Weeden. He's got no pocket presents.
Speaker 1: He's got seems to have no awareness. He doesn't have
Speaker 1: that much of an arm. I know a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago he really dominated the Eagles in one start,
Speaker 1: but since he had the one good year in O
Speaker 1: eight with New England. Since then his quarterback rating is
Speaker 1: seventy one point two and Daveson's twenty twelve twenty one
Speaker 1: touchdown passes twenty eight interceptions. He's just not good. So
Speaker 1: then the conventional theory would be that the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: will try to do what Carolina did so successfully in
Speaker 1: the last game the Eagles played, and that is run
Speaker 1: the football on this Eagles defense. To do so, that
Speaker 1: means another big game from Darren McFadden, who played well
Speaker 1: on Sunday against Seattle. No Joseph Randall for Dallas, but
Speaker 1: they do have that big, powerful offensive line and they
Speaker 1: will try to wear down the Eagles. So as we
Speaker 1: look at the running backs, it's McFadden and a little
Speaker 1: guy named DeMarco Murray making his return to the Hollas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be fascinating to see, right, DeMarco Murray has been
Speaker 1: kind of up and down. We haven't had the season
Speaker 1: from him that the Eagles expected to have. But you wonder,
Speaker 1: you hope if going back to Dallas kind of sparks that.
Speaker 1: And then of course you always have the Ryan Matthews issue.
Speaker 1: How much is he going to play? How healthy is
Speaker 1: easy going to get more than the average eight carries
Speaker 1: he's been having. I would love to see this be
Speaker 1: a game where the Eagles just run, run, run, eighteen
Speaker 1: to twenty carries for Murray, ten to twelve for Matthews.
Speaker 1: That to me, you're gonna win that. To do that,
Speaker 1: you're sustaining drives, you're keeping the chains moving, you're keeping
Speaker 1: your offense on the field. The self scouting during the week,
Speaker 1: when Chip Kelly was asked about that on Tuesday, said
Speaker 1: that what do you notice most of all was drops
Speaker 1: by the wide receivers. So let's talk about the wide
Speaker 1: receiver position for the Eagles. Nelson Agilore back on the
Speaker 1: training field today for the Eagles. We'll see if he's
Speaker 1: ready to go on Sunday. Really the focus on Jordan Matthews,
Speaker 1: who's been productive in terms of his numbers. The stats
Speaker 1: are pretty good. The drops not so good. And it's
Speaker 1: something that Matthews has been asked about every single day.
Speaker 1: Just drops upon drops upon drops there, Glenn, I don't
Speaker 1: really have the answer other than to say, maybe the
Speaker 1: wide receivers are trying to do too much. Maybe they're
Speaker 1: trying to do too much. And I know he's using
Speaker 1: the jugs gun every morning and so on, that it
Speaker 1: passes from a drug machine. No, I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: it's not the same thing as you do in a game.
Speaker 1: I only can believe it's mental because the guy physically
Speaker 1: can catch passes. I know coming out of college that
Speaker 1: was one of the little criticisms. We didn't see that
Speaker 1: as a problem last year. So yeah, there's no answer
Speaker 1: that anybody can do. Sure, even the coaches, but he
Speaker 1: and Aglare and Sprowls not a wide receiver, but the
Speaker 1: guy who's dropped a few balls, and all those guys,
Speaker 1: the tight ends, they just you know, get sneaking a
Speaker 1: little stick him. For the Dallas Cowboys, the return of
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant presents a tantalizing matchup for the Eagles and
Speaker 1: a challenge for Bill Davis. What do you do in
Speaker 1: terms of matching up with Witt and Jason Witten the's
Speaker 1: tight end, Dez Bryant the wide receiver. You can't double
Speaker 1: both of them. How healthy is des Brian hat two
Speaker 1: catches twelve yards against Seattle, but he is going to
Speaker 1: be a threat on Sunday night. You can be sure
Speaker 1: that the Eagles will be tested down the field with Dez.
Speaker 1: Matt Castle needs to find his big play wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Well he does, so I guess what you do is
Speaker 1: you double Dez? Would you put Malcolm Jenkins on Witten
Speaker 1: for the whole game? Seem a way to do it. Ideally,
Speaker 1: as we transition to tight ends, I'm gonna try to
Speaker 1: put Kiko Alonso on Jason Witten. That is the exact
Speaker 1: matchup that you want. Big body, long arms, can run,
Speaker 1: is big enough to handle Jason Witten's physical package. I
Speaker 1: mean he's a big, strong tight end who catches passes
Speaker 1: and breaks tackles. If Kiko Alonso is able to play
Speaker 1: and he's healthy and he's ready to go, I expect
Speaker 1: to see Kiko Alonso not as safety on I expect
Speaker 1: a safety over the top against des Bryant. Yeah, I understand,
Speaker 1: And that's the conventional way to do it, and so on.
Speaker 1: I would love to think that Kiko Alonso is going
Speaker 1: to be healthy and is going to be ready and
Speaker 1: can play a full game. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly, if I can scheme with it it where Billy
Speaker 1: Davis I can scheme it that way. Twenty four catches
Speaker 1: for zach Ertz through seven games not the number we
Speaker 1: expected to expected it to be much higher. Zero touchdowns,
Speaker 1: forty two targets. When does zach Ertz plan break out well?
Speaker 1: Last year and the second half of the year he
Speaker 1: was better. I mean, why not think that's going to
Speaker 1: be this year? I think that if you're if you're
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford, given what your wide receivers are doing, you
Speaker 1: ought to just be trying to feel. Look, the Eagle
Speaker 1: standard play is what a seven yard pass right quick?
Speaker 1: I'd be getting more of those to zach Ertz right
Speaker 1: now and that will, certainly, as we say, help move
Speaker 1: the change. Now. The defense is match up pretty evenly,
Speaker 1: two solid defenses. I think everybody kind of expects a
Speaker 1: low scoring game here. The Cowboys giving reinforcements in the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Greg Hardy back, Randy Gregory back,
Speaker 1: Orlando McClean at linebacker. The secondary without Orlando Scandrick continues
Speaker 1: to play. Well, what do you make of this Dallas scheme?
Speaker 1: I think it's a really good Yeah. I think Rod
Speaker 1: Brarnelli is so much better than what they had there
Speaker 1: before with Monte Kiffin, and he's got them playing a
Speaker 1: much more ferocious game when you get Greg Hardy in
Speaker 1: there for them, I mean the insanity aside, I think
Speaker 1: it adds a lot. But here's one thing that to notice.
Speaker 1: Dallas defense only has four turnovers the entire season, three interceptions,
Speaker 1: one fumble. So well, they've done a good job and
Speaker 1: a much better job than Dallas had a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. They're still not taking the ball away and
Speaker 1: that could be a big fact for this game. So
Speaker 1: that's your first look at the Eagles and the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and my thoughts, at least early in the week low
Speaker 1: scoring game, you feel that way? Nah, what's the over
Speaker 1: under forty five? We don't get into that in the
Speaker 1: NFL going. Oh excuse me, dare you suggest? I don't
Speaker 1: even look. I think it's gonna be you know, twenty
Speaker 1: is twenty issue. We'll talk about it on Thursday when
Speaker 1: you're back when we return to Eagles three sixty. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the NFC East. That is, as we
Speaker 1: say every week, all jumbled together. Who's gonna separate? When
Speaker 1: will the cream rise to the top. Well, we think
Speaker 1: the Eagles have a pretty good chance here with this
Speaker 1: four game stretch. We're gonna talk about it when Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty returns. My Jennings Power Reclining Sofa or power

Speaker 1: this Tuesday, with another great day expected on Wednesday, So
Speaker 1: Eagles getting ready for Sunday. Before we talk about the nfcast.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the eagles upcoming schedule, presented
Speaker 1: by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster. We're the only
Speaker 1: one percent verified way to buy or sell NFL tickets.
Speaker 1: Visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Well, here's the schedule.
Speaker 1: We've talked about it at Dallas, home with Miami, home
Speaker 1: with Tampa, Happy Thanksgiving in Detroit, and then all very
Speaker 1: winnable games. The Eagles will be favored in all of
Speaker 1: those games, although we don't look at that kind of thing,
Speaker 1: but they in my mind, they'll be favored in all
Speaker 1: those games. If you beat Dallas, take two of the
Speaker 1: next three games, that would put them at six and
Speaker 1: five in this division. Six and five is going to
Speaker 1: be golden. Okay, I'm just taking one game at a
Speaker 1: time here, by geez. That time now to take a
Speaker 1: look at the NFC East, the NFC East, it's brought
Speaker 1: to you by our good friends at Bob's Discount Furniture.
Speaker 1: A look around the division and it's not a particularly
Speaker 1: pretty picture. Now, with all due respect to the AFC South,
Speaker 1: I think if you lined up the NFC, the AFC South,
Speaker 1: the NFC East would kick some butt. Somebody's gonna win that.
Speaker 1: And I'll and I'll say this again. Twenty eleven, the
Speaker 1: New York Giants won the division at nine and seven
Speaker 1: and then went on to win the super Bowl. So
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of getting in to the playoffs. Now.
Speaker 1: Who gets into the playoffs by winning the division? Eagles,
Speaker 1: of course, but there are some other contenders. Washington believes
Speaker 1: it is a really good football team. Blenn. They're getting
Speaker 1: a little bit healthier to Sean Jackson, fact, just in
Speaker 1: time to play the Patriots. Yeah, they're getting better. They're
Speaker 1: not particularly good at anything. They're seventeenth in the league
Speaker 1: in offense, they're twenty fifth in the league in defense.
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins didn't throw one away last week, actually came
Speaker 1: back and led them back to a late victory. But
Speaker 1: even in this mediocre division, I think Washington still doesn't
Speaker 1: have what it takes. Doesn't really have any standout players
Speaker 1: that are going to give them the opportunity to win
Speaker 1: the division. Washington had best seven and nine. Okay, then
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, who lost a shootout in New
Speaker 1: Orleans on Sunday. They get cornerback Prince Amukamara back in
Speaker 1: the lineup defensive end Jason Pierre Paul expected to at
Speaker 1: least have a chance to play on Sunday. They desperately
Speaker 1: need a pass rush. They can't stop anybody on defense,
Speaker 1: and they've got a pretty tough schedule after this week.
Speaker 1: They play a good up and coming Tampa Bay team. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you covered a lot of it. So here is their schedule.
Speaker 1: As you say, pretty good this week, but they still
Speaker 1: have on their schedule the Patriots, the Panthers, the Vikings,
Speaker 1: the Jets. Those are four teams that right now would
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs combined team. The record of the
Speaker 1: teams that they have left is a combined thirty two
Speaker 1: and twenty one. So the Giants have the toughest schedule
Speaker 1: in division. And it has not been a good year
Speaker 1: for Steve Spagnolo, their defensive coordinator. I mean, he was
Speaker 1: supposed to go back and everything was supposed to be
Speaker 1: better for him. But as you said, seven touchdowns to
Speaker 1: Drew Brees last year. We'll see. I wish the best
Speaker 1: for Jason Pierre Paul on a personal level, but we'll
Speaker 1: see if he can play it with you. Four fifths
Speaker 1: of the hand and the rest of the division plays
Speaker 1: Sunday night in Arlington, Texas, the Eagles and the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Ft you look around, the NFC is presented by Bob's
Speaker 1: Discount Furniture. When we return to Eagles three sixty, we
Speaker 1: take a look at the world of fantasy football Alex
Speaker 1: Smith and Joe Dolan our fantasy spin. Fifteen minutes could
Speaker 1: save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody knows that. Well, did you know? They? Playing cards
Speaker 1: with Kenny Rogers gets old pretty fast. You got to
Speaker 1: no window hold them, no wind to fold them, no
Speaker 1: wind to walk away, no wind to run. You never
Speaker 1: count your money when you're sitting at the day what
Speaker 1: you get to Yeah, guy, go, fifteen minutes could save
Speaker 1: you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. The tournament
Speaker 1: is there, you're here, and before you take the team's
Speaker 1: star midfielder from here to there along with his entourage,
Speaker 1: you have some things to do, like finding a place
Speaker 1: to stay, getting an oil change, mapping out the best route. Yes,
Speaker 1: are we there yet? No roadside assistance, not today, but
Speaker 1: always on call. So wherever your journey takes you, Triple

Speaker 1: we welcome you back to Eagles three sixty. Time now
Speaker 1: to go to the world of fantasy football our Fantasy
Speaker 1: Spin Alex Smith and Joe Dolan. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith.
Speaker 1: Welcome back from the bye week and welcome to another
Speaker 1: edition of Fantasy's been presented by bud Light. I am
Speaker 1: joined by Joe Dolan, the managing editor of fantasygrew dot com. Joe,
Speaker 1: the Eagles back in action with a big game this
Speaker 1: weekend in Dallas. Jordan Matthews has had a bit of
Speaker 1: a tough stretch recently with a little bit of a
Speaker 1: drop problem. How do you feel about Matthews heading into
Speaker 1: this weekend. I'm hoping he got his head kind of
Speaker 1: cleared out over the by and was starting to just
Speaker 1: focus on getting back to basics now. I know the
Speaker 1: reports came out that he was dealing with a hand injury,
Speaker 1: and while some say, oh, it might have been healed,
Speaker 1: you know in football that nothing heals completely unless you
Speaker 1: get some rest, and I'm hoping he rested, got himself
Speaker 1: back in the right state of mind to play football.
Speaker 1: At this point, you have to just think Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: is overworking himself. He's in his own head. And for
Speaker 1: somebody who has the work ethic that Jordan Matthews has,
Speaker 1: the work ethic that he is reputed for, I would
Speaker 1: think that Jordan Matthews is going to understand that he's
Speaker 1: just got to get himself back on the right track.
Speaker 1: He's been a disappointment thus far, especially in PPR leagues. However,
Speaker 1: I think he's got a shot to hold down number
Speaker 1: two value coming out of the bye as a wide
Speaker 1: receiver two in twelve team leagues. He starts that this
Speaker 1: week against Dallas Joe. The Denver Broncos have been splitting
Speaker 1: their carries almost equally between their two running backs, but
Speaker 1: you like their running backs this weekend with the matchup
Speaker 1: against India, Well, Indie is just a disaster from top
Speaker 1: to bottom, and the Broncos, I gotta admit they were
Speaker 1: six and oe going into their by I didn't really
Speaker 1: view them as a contender because their offense had been
Speaker 1: so disappointing. That looked like one of the best teams
Speaker 1: in football on Sunday Night against the Green Bay Packers, though,
Speaker 1: and a big reason for that was the run game
Speaker 1: heading into week eight, Ronnie Hillman and CJ. Anderson had
Speaker 1: combined for zero top ten PPR finishes at the running
Speaker 1: back position. They each had one in Week eight. C J.
Speaker 1: Anderson looked a lot better than he has all year.
Speaker 1: We know he's been banged up. Ronnie Hillman showed some
Speaker 1: quickness to the edge that's really his game. I think
Speaker 1: both of them were viable plays going forward, especially in
Speaker 1: a good matchup against Indianapolis. If he held on to C. J. Anderson,
Speaker 1: good for you. He's at least viable at this point.
Speaker 1: I want to see more before I trust him as
Speaker 1: more than a flex. But both of these guys are
Speaker 1: inflex consideration, especially in a heavy by week here in
Speaker 1: week nine, so it's kind of tough to pick guys
Speaker 1: to sit down, especially when so many teams are on
Speaker 1: their bye week. But James Jones on the Packers, though
Speaker 1: he's had a good year to this point, you might
Speaker 1: sit him down this week. Well, he had. He was
Speaker 1: actually one of my favorite sins last week as well.
Speaker 1: Ended up having one catch for two yards against the Broncos,
Speaker 1: which is far less than even I anticipated. But the
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is this offense is not very good.
Speaker 1: I mean, they have Aaron Rodgers, but the receivers aren't
Speaker 1: getting open. Randall Cobb's been playing hurt. The offensive line
Speaker 1: has been up and down. The run game hasn't been
Speaker 1: strong because Eddie Lacey's been banged up, and then James
Speaker 1: Starts got banged up. The fact of the matter with
Speaker 1: James Jones is he's earning a paycheck because he has
Speaker 1: great chemistry with Aaron Rodgers. But the guy can't get
Speaker 1: opened on the perimeter. So he's in number three type
Speaker 1: of receiver. And with the Packers offense really struggling the
Speaker 1: way it has the last couple of times we've seen them,
Speaker 1: he is probably a guy you have to convince to
Speaker 1: put yourself put him into your lineup as opposed to
Speaker 1: the other way. Sticking in the NFC, North Chicago running
Speaker 1: back Matt Forte has a bit of an injured knee.
Speaker 1: So in that Chicago backfield, is there another sleeper that
Speaker 1: you're keeping your eye on. Yeah, it's Jeremy Langford. And look,
Speaker 1: he played every single snap for the Bears after Matt
Speaker 1: Forte left with the spring knee last week. He's a
Speaker 1: guy I liked coming out of Michigan State. I actually
Speaker 1: thought he was a better prospect than Buck Allen, who
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens drafted, has gotten some snaps this year.
Speaker 1: He's a former college corner, former receiver who can really
Speaker 1: catch the ball. And while I would not anticipate Jeremy
Speaker 1: Langford to produce the way Matt Forte did as a runner,
Speaker 1: he's got the skills to produce as a guy who
Speaker 1: can catch four or five six passes. If you have
Speaker 1: Matt Forte or Levion Bell, of course, who got hurt
Speaker 1: this week, it's week nine. If you have a top
Speaker 1: waiver priority, if you have all of your fab budget left,
Speaker 1: this is the week to spend it. The fantasy season's
Speaker 1: almost over them. There's about a month left and sold
Speaker 1: the playoffs. If you had Forte, if you had Levy
Speaker 1: on Bell, or if you didn't have these guys and
Speaker 1: you have a top waiver priority, go get one of
Speaker 1: these players, because they're going to play D'Angel Williams for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. And Jeremy Langford, as we discussed,
Speaker 1: for at least the next week or two, and Joe finally,
Speaker 1: give us a couple of other players that you're keeping
Speaker 1: an eye on this weekend. Well, I'm watching Vernon Davis
Speaker 1: now with the Denver Broncos. I really am not excited
Speaker 1: about them for fantasy because they have two other guys
Speaker 1: who Owen Daniels and Virgil Green, who made some plays
Speaker 1: last week. But they're clearly acquiring Vernon Davis to become
Speaker 1: a red zone threat. Just two years ago we scored
Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns with San Francisco forty nine ers. I think
Speaker 1: they're going to install in Denver a couple of red
Speaker 1: zone packages for Vernon Davis, and I wouldn't be shocked
Speaker 1: if he ends up scoring a touchdown this week in
Speaker 1: a Bronco's debut. And I'm also keeping an eye in
Speaker 1: general on the San Francisco forty nine ers. Now they've
Speaker 1: benched Colin Kaepernick, they have Blaine Gabbert out there, Carlos
Speaker 1: Hide is injured, Reggie Bush is injured. This is an
Speaker 1: absolute disaster right now. They might have to feel one
Speaker 1: of the worst offenses I have ever seen this week.
Speaker 1: I'm watching them matter sheer morbid curiosity, but I am
Speaker 1: not interested in this team for fantasy in any way whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Great stuff, as always, our thanks to Joe Dolan, the
Speaker 1: managing editor of Fantasygroup dot com. Be sure to follow
Speaker 1: Joe on Twitter at fg Underscore Dolan and listen to

Speaker 1: Dave Spidero, Glenn mac now and we're gonna provide a
Speaker 1: bonus segment during the week of the Cowboys, the five
Speaker 1: cowboys that we despise the most all so what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do now? Something I can keep it to five.
Speaker 1: The ones who are not on the list. The names
Speaker 1: include here's my runners up, Dave Ye, Jerry Jones. I
Speaker 1: couldn't put Jerry Jones on the list because he's the owner,
Speaker 1: but boy, he deserves to be there. Currently you'd go
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant, right, Um, Hollywood Henderson, old School Leroy Jordan,
Speaker 1: who started this thing by breaking Timmy Brown's face. I
Speaker 1: put him at there. I know you respect Emmett. God,
Speaker 1: it was a great come on two Tall Jones. I
Speaker 1: always hated that Billy Bates that Special Teams got. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh you have to love Billy Bates. No, I don't
Speaker 1: you do not. I thought the Eagles got a two
Speaker 1: Tall Jones clone. No in the draft, way back the
Speaker 1: Railroads draft. Oh gosh, yeah, I remember that one. Uh
Speaker 1: pac Man Jones wasn't there very long, but I'd put
Speaker 1: him there all Denis Dennis Thurman games. Yeah, with another
Speaker 1: chief shot, all the thugs and the criminals and the
Speaker 1: low lives and the bad guys that have accompanied that
Speaker 1: franchise for so many years. I would root for the
Speaker 1: Irs before the Cows. I would root for the DMV
Speaker 1: before I would root for the Cowboys. And I can't
Speaker 1: just stand and we'll talk about this. The people, the
Speaker 1: fungus amongus who root for the Cowboys, you are bad people.
Speaker 1: And this week, of all weeks, you should go and
Speaker 1: hang your head in shame. That's all I got. It's
Speaker 1: all that it's needed, Glenn Macnow, everybody, and we've got
Speaker 1: we haven't even gotten to our list of the players.
Speaker 1: And the speople formed up. We like the least or
Speaker 1: in fact Hate Nadallas Cowboys Aver also's on the menu
Speaker 1: segment what's coming up on Eagles three sixty. We've got
Speaker 1: Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis in studio tomorrow and that
Speaker 1: should be interesting to talk to him about a defense
Speaker 1: that has come a long long way in the three
Speaker 1: years he's been here. And we're also going to talk
Speaker 1: with Joe Decameron of the great moments Eagles Cowboys history.
Speaker 1: So good love to get to this stuff. Yeah, Eagles Cowboys.
Speaker 1: It's the week, it's the fun week. It's a bit
Speaker 1: of a revenge factor, right, Eagles lose Week two, Time
Speaker 1: to win here in this pivotal Sunday game for Glenn Macnow.
Speaker 1: I'm Dave Spidero. We thank you for joining us on
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. Have you ourselves a great Eagles day
