WEBVTT - Eagles 360: Episode 52 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.440 It's Eagles three sixty On this Wednesday, Eagles insider Dave 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.159 Spiderow along with Glenn macnow, Happy Thanksgiving to all of 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.400 you out there. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, yes, 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.199 you and Laurie and the kids. Thank you. Big night 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.839 of partying around the region, world, country, I guess not 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.240 the world, just the country and Americans around the world. 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.400 That's boxing Death Canada. So they do something there we 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.160 go and as soon as this show is done, I'll 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.000 be heading out to Detroit to have a good time 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:02.240 and watch the Eagles beat to tomorrow and get this 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.680 thing turned around. Glenn, I'm feeling like two thousand and 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.880 eight all over again. You remember what happened, Oh, I 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.640 remember what happened. It was Thanksgiving night. The Eagles had 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.200 played terribly the two weeks before that, right, McNabb had 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.200 been batty Baltimore, right, and then all of a sudden 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.360 they come back that night with low expectations and they 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.200 crush Arizona something like forty eight to twenty whatever was 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.440 ban something like that, and yeah, can you have that? 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.760 Can you get the resurgence? Well, let's hope so. And 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.440 the only way to have that happen is to win 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.480 against Detroit. We're gonna take a deep dive into our 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.000 first look at the Detroit Lions, a team that's a 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.800 big resurgent two straight wins when they've ripped apart their 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.160 coaching staff in their front office. We'll talk to Tim 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.840 Twentyman of Detroit Lions dot com to find out how 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.319 the Lions have turned things around, and of course Glenn 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.600 mcnow with three of his five bold predictions for this game. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:50.680 Let's gets caught up on everything happening with the Eagles 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.360 as they pack things up and get ready for the 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:57.960 Detroit Lions. It's our Eagles three sixty update. Hello Eagles fans, 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.320 and happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there. I'm 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.560 Chris McPherson here for the three sixty update. All of 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.600 you want to know who is going to start a 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.440 quarterback for the Eagles when they take on the Detroit 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.880 Lions in the Bird Days showdown at Ford Field. Well, 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.440 that question remains unanswered at this point, as Sam Bradford 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.359 was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but he was 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.680 listed as questionable by the team. Two players whom we 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.639 know will not play against the Lions are Titan Zach 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.680 Ertz and running back Ryan Matthews. The good news for 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.880 Ertz is that he practiced, albeit in a limited capacity, 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.960 for the first time since suffering a concussion in the 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.440 loss to Tampa Bay. Two other players along with Bradford, 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.920 are questionable for the game, and they both play along 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.160 the offensive line. Senator Jason Kelsey is battling a knee 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.280 injury he did not practice at all on Wednesday, while 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.520 tackle Jason Peters is also questionable due to a back problem. Obviously, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.680 the performance of the offensive line will greatly impact no 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.080 matter who starts at the quarterback position. Here's Bradford, as 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.440 well as Mark Sanchez, on preparing for the uncerts that 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.639 lies ahead on Thursday. You know, like I said, it's 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.400 kind of hard to throw out a percentage or you know, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.040 gauge chances on going. Like I said, I think if 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.960 it continues to progress and it gets better, then you know, 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.120 I'd like to be out there. But you know, ultimately 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.400 it's going to be you know, in the trainers and 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.919 in the coach's hands. I'm not worried about it. It's 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.800 you got to prepare and take all the reps seriously. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.840 So that's what I've done. All week and I'll be 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.839 ready to go on Thursday. The Eagles concluded their short 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.160 week of practice on Wednesday and travel to Detroit. Now, 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.920 the quick turnaround from last Sunday's loss is great from 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.040 the standpoint that they get the taste of the loss 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.560 out of their mouths and have another opportunity to play 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.720 that much sooner. However, the flip side is there's not 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.400 much time for extra preparation or fine tuning the XS 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.640 and o's. In fact, as a players will tell you, 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.560 it's more of a mental prep this week and making 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.000 sure that your body is fully recovered from last Sunday's game. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.640 I mean, yeah, I think so. You can't really dwell 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.440 on anything. You have to really get after some of 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.600 the corrections to move on. Right now, we're just trying 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.720 to shake it off and get ready for these Lions 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.720 because we only got a couple of days and it's 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.560 all mental this week, and we just got to make 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.840 sure we know what they're gonna throw all us. Yeah, 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.000 I don't. I don't think it's personnel because the guys 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.240 that we have, we've gotten it done with the group 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.400 that we have, so to say it's personnel, that's not 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.480 that's not fair as is. We had a really horrible 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.719 outing that was very uncharacteristic of our team. So I 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.960 think emotions, if you're playing with emotions, you get it 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.440 gets to you, you know what I mean. I think 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.400 if you know you go out and play, you know, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.640 you know for each other and uh and as a team, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.359 you know you have great a great game on Thursday. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.719 Make sure to join us beginning at ten thirty am 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.719 on Birthday for our game day coverage leading up to 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.640 the live one hour kickoff show at eleven thirty am. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.360 That's gonna do it for us here on the three 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.760 sixty update.

Thank you all for joining us, 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.920 and I'll see you all on Thanksgiving and just a 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.159 bit we'll get to Glenn macdow and his bold predictions. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.800 How bold early they're pretty bold. But next up we're 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.160 gonna take a look at Detroit and the Lions, who 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.320 are two and oh here all of a sudden, good 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.360 football team.

We're back, Dave Spidero Glenn mac 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.440 now A. Lots to get to first. Before we take 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.000 a look at the Detroit Lions, we take a look 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.159 at the Eagles upcoming schedule and it is a doozy 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.120 for the Eagles. Take a look at Eagles uptoming schedule 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.680 prison of by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster.

A little 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.160 break after this game, Glenn, and then it's just time 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.600 for all of a sudden, a rugged stretch run. That's 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.960 no break. I mean a couple extra days. But yeah, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.760 you got the Patriots after Detroit, and then it really 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.520 doesn't get easy. Buffalo is a pretty good team. Arizona 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.560 is a very good team. So those next three games, 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.040 you gotta beat Detroit. You gotta win at least one 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.760 of those games. Two is a little optimistic. Then you 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.640 play Washington, the Giants. Oh, I can't do it there, 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:49.000 Buffalo comes to town. Yeah, still got nine wins in us, 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:54.840 still believing, still actually still hoping, hopeful, hopeful, hope, it's 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.520 a good word. All right, Let's go with Detroit here, 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.480 the Detroit Lions playing very good football right now. Our 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.240 first look at then we begin at the quarterback position. 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.200 Matthew Stafford underachieving for much of this season, but he 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.840 is really talented. He's got some weapons. Your view of 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.080 Matthew Stafford running that Detroit Lions offense well, I think 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.520 he's got a great arm. I think he's really kind 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.400 of fallen from what he was a couple of years ago, 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.640 second in the league in interceptions with twelve. He gets 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.080 a little careless, he gets a little two bold. I 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.640 think Matthew Stafford is the kind of guy who, as 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.680 much as I think he's got talent, you can go 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.640 in there and make him look bad. Yeah, and that 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.240 is going to be very important to get pressure on Stafford. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.600 Now in the backfield for the Eagles, of course, DeMarco Murray, 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.160 he is solid, strong, going to get the football a lot. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.920 I would imagine for Detroit, they've got the rookie Amir Abdullah, 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.400 explosive player may be more dangerous in the receiving game 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.400 then in the run game. They want to get him 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.640 into space, a big challenge for the Eagles linebackers and 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.880 the safety's in coverage. True, and their run game is terrible. 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.800 Their top three rushers are averaging three point four yards 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.120 of carry. Abdula is not. He doesn't get anything when 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:04.880 he carries the ball from the line of scrimmage. They're 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.559 just particularly bad at that, which given where the Eagles 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.640 have been the last few weeks against the run. I 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.520 think they get a little bit of a break this week. Okay, 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.360 wide receiver for the Eagles, of course, George Matthew is 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:19.320 still having a solid season. Four Detroit, another look at 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.200 a freak, somebody who just redefined the wide receiver position. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.719 I always enjoy watching him. He is absolutely a Clydesdale 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.160 out there. I mean, just just a beautiful athlete to 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.720 look at. And what a football player. Calvin Johnson is 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.280 the real deal. Well it's a Hall of Famer and 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.839 he's still a great player. And he's dangerous no matter 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.719 what his size, his speed, he's got great hands, he's 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.320 got everything. You know. You face Dez Brian a couple 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.200 of weeks ago and he's the same kind of guy. 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.280 And by the way, Golden Tape the number two receiver 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.680 also very very solid. One thing he doesn't have, though 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.760 Glenn is a lot of touchdown catch There's only three 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.800 for Johnson to date. How about the tight end position 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.679 the Eagles getting some production from Brent Sellek. He's been 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.520 really good down the field. It's good to see him 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.000 before involved. Yeah, and then for Detroit, Eric Ebron second 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.160 year player, former first round pick, extremely talented and again 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.480 a tough matchup. This is where Keiko Alonzo really has 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.600 to be a factor. I really hope so. And Abron 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.280 is a young player, is kind of learning his way. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.120 He's going to be a lot better two or three 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.800 years than he is now. But very dangerous player. They 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.440 got good weapons, yes they do. And then defensively, the 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.000 Eagles have been struggling of late. We know that the 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.480 run defense has taken a beating, no doubt about it. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.480 And so if it's kind of the Eagles defense is 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.719 the run game against the Detroit Lions run game that's 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.520 not been very effective. You think that would favor Philadelphia? 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.040 I do, And I think it kind of gives you 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.760 that opportunity maybe to not have to obsess about that 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.160 focus on them against the past and the takeaways Glenn 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.160 which were so prevalent through the first ten games, at 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.000 first eight games of the season, through ten games, nothing 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.400 against Miami and then just that one on the weird 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.120 fumble exchange last week against Tampa Bay. What has happened? 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.200 Why are the Eagles not getting their hands? Just un 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.600 through my bold predections, before I can even give them up, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.560 I tell you why. I know that, I know, I 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.600 know why has that now happened. I think because you're 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.120 not getting the pass rush is why that doesn't happen. Right. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.040 Turnovers come because of pressure, and they didn't really put 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.480 a lot of pressure last week. Am I to believe weeks? 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.280 Am I to believe that that there are some bold 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.040 predictions that include takeaway? Hold on. We'll get to it 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.600 in just a bit. When we returned, though, we're gonna 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.520 talk about Detroit from their perspective.

I 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.560 think they hired him from Dukes of Hazzard, that's right, 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.120 and Daisy May is now the team get general manager. 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.720 It would follow, but they made so many changes and 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.120 they responded. The Detroit Lions have won their last two 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.839 games against Green Bay and against Oakland. Chris McPherson, it's 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.600 time to go behind Enemy Lines with Tim Twentyman Detroit 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.280 Lions dot Com. Wello Eagles fans. I'm Chris McPherson, and 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.480 welcome to this week's edition Up High Enemy Lines, presented 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.120 by Getting Ready. My special guest this week is none 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.119 other than the man who knows the lines better than anyone, 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.560 Tim Twentyman from Detroit Lions dot Com. Tim, what's going 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.240 on with the lines? Two straight wins? They're three and 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.720 seven on the season. What's been the key to the 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.560 big turnaround in the last two weeks. Yeah, you look 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.800 no further than the defensive side of the ball, really, 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.640 and specifically their run defense. You know, this was the 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.000 team that was allowing over one hundred and thirty three 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.680 yards a game on average the first eight games of 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.400 the season, over four and a half yards per carrying 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.240 the last two weeks, thirty six carries, ninety seven total 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:42.280 yards and wins over Green Bay and Oakland team. You know, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.560 those two teams average a little more than two yards 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.960 per carrying, so they've made both those teams one dimensional. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.640 When you can do that, which teams showed when they 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.720 were doing it to Lions early this season, you know, 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.520 it's tough to get things done offensively, and that's really 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.720 been the difference the last two weeks is that defensive 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.520 side of the football and specifically the run defense. All right, 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.480 let's look at the offense here for a second. Now, 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.400 I know Megatron is still the guy there in Detroit, 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.040 but what's going on with the rushing attack? Dead last 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.040 in the league. The Eagles have to be looking their 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.440 chops after giving up two hundred and thirty five yards 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.280 to Doug Martin. If a Merodula goes for over one 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.080 hundred yards, or maybe even former Eagle Joy Bell, I'm 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.520 sure there'll be a lot of fans in Philadelphia scratching 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.040 in their heads. From your estimates him, what's happened with 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.000 the rushing attack there in Detroit, Well, there'd be a 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.240 lot of people in Detroit I think scratching their heads too, 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.760 because the Lions haven't had a hundred yard rusher yet 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.720 this season. And really it starts up front. You've got 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.720 a rookie guard in Lake in Tomlinson. You've got a 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.680 first year starter at center in Travis Swanson. You know, 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.040 they've really rotated out their entire right tackle position. Now 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.640 it's Michael Ola. He's their third starter this year. So 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:49.880 there really hasn't been a cohesive starting five unit up 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.640 front for Lions, and that's really been their biggest issue 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.600 up you know, in terms of the run game, it's 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.640 generating run lanes, staying on blocks. They haven't been able 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.120 to do it upfront, and Lin's run game has suffered 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.680 because of that. What's our thoughts Tim on Matthew Stafford's 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.120 performance this season. The veteran quarterback guided this team to 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.800 eleven wins a year ago. What do you think overall 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.040 of his twenty fifteen performance today? Well, I think it's 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.320 a little bit disappointing because you know, he made the 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.360 Pro Bowl last year. Yes he was an alternate, but 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.160 you know you saw the twenty two touchdowns and you 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.720 saw the interceptions down twelve interceptions the lowest of his 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.320 career for sixteen games, and now he's already above that 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.480 through ten games here in twenty fifteen, and I think 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.160 that's been the biggest issue. You know, you thought maybe 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.200 he was starting to break through in terms of the 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.360 turnovers that we would see kind of that two to 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.080 one ratio that every you know, coach likes in terms 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.800 of touchdowns to interceptions. But you know, Matthew's just turned 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.600 the ball over a little bit too much. And you know, 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.960 we talked about the offensive line issues in the run 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:53.280 game and that certainly you know, Speaks goes into effect 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.480 two in the passing game. And he's just been pressured 0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:00.000 too many times this year. He's been sacked too many times. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.000 He's been running for his life. I think that's led 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.439 to some of the turnovers. But I think if you 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.320 were gonna, you know, rate his performance in twenty fifteen 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.400 through ten games, I'd have to say, you're a little 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.080 bit disappointed because of what we saw last year, what 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.119 we thought he was going to be this year. Now 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.399 they've changed offensive coordinators, then there's been turmoil in that 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.760 regard too, But you know, I think the turnovers have 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.639 been the biggest issue for Matthew Stafford this year. Something 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.840 he's got, Um, you know, to turn around moving forward. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.600 He has the last two games and that's why they've 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.400 won two games in a row. Tammy, can you give 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.960 us a scouting report on some of the other receiving options, 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.120 mainly Golden Tape and Theo Riddick, who is a Darren 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.399 Sprowles like type of player out of the backfield for 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.760 the Lions. Yeah. I think you hit it right on 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.960 the head there with the Darren Sprowles comparison. He leads 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.200 all NFL running backs with fifty catches and in ten games, 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.480 and um, you know, like Darren, he's a he's a 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.639 terrific guy in the open field, I think, Um, you know, 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.959 the linebackers can't guard him much like Darren Sprowls. And um, 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.520 he's been a terrific outlet for for Matthew staff and 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.119 he's really been one of their more reliable receivers. And 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.600 then your Golden Tate, Um, he's just one of those 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.720 guys yards after the catch is what you have to 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.159 be concerned about with Golden Tate. He's got that running 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:12.919 back body and so when he gets the ball in 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.119 his hands, he immediately turns into a running back. He 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.359 always makes the first guy miss and he's tough to 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.600 bring down, and so you know, I'd throw one more 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.000 option maybe in there, two Lance more. You know, he's 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:26.160 really been a true slot receiver for Detroit and he's 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.280 got four touchdowns on the year. He leads the team, 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.359 and you know, he's been a guy that that Matthew 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.840 Stafford has really turned to in that slot position. So 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.040 you know, the Lions got a lot of receiving weapons. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.440 The issues is can they give Matthew Stafford enough time 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.920 to go through his progressions and get to those receivers 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.359 were good Megatron. The man you have to be concerned 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.920 about when it comes to Lions coverage is Tim Twentyman 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.040 from Detroit Lions dot com.

Dave Spendero 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.600 Glenn mac Now time for Glenn to give us a 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.560 little bit of his view into the future. If you 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.760 will his bold Brits Cornact to magnificus and here we go. 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.679 After last week's debacle against the Bucks, here's the good news, 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.200 bold prediction. The Eagles will hold the Detroit Lions under 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:15.000 one hundred yards rushing a mere Abdollah Theoretic and Joike 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:20.320 Bell are averaging three point two yards to carry. If 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.480 you can't stop those guys with their offensive line, you 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:27.600 can't stop anybody. The run defense recovers big this week, 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:31.040 and of course this bold prediction is bolstered by the 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.600 fact that Detroit is thirty second in the league with 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.040 just over seventy rushing yards per game. You have, all right, 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.400 all right, bring it on number two for the third 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.639 week in a row. Brent Sellek is going to lead 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.040 this team in receptions. It's good and it's not good. 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.040 It's good for Brent Selleck and you like to see 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.640 him part of the offense again. And with Zach Ertz out, 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.440 obviously he's going to have the opportunity, but you really 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.080 want to see more of it come from the wide receivers. 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.520 We have it, so Brent Selleck, he's going to be 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:00.720 your leading your leading receiver this week because he's score 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.600 a touchdown. Sure, Bay, I like brand. I think he 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.680
