Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to Eagles three sixty insider Dave Spidero along
Speaker 1: with Glenn mac Now. We are here at an overcare complex,
Speaker 1: home of the scalding Philadelphia Eagles, currently in a three
Speaker 1: way tie in the red hot NFC East. Right, it's
Speaker 1: exactly where you want to be. Down to stretch. This division.
Speaker 1: Can't lose No. Well, three of the four one on Sunday,
Speaker 1: So on Monday this weekend. The good news is Dallas
Speaker 1: nail meat coffin. Right, that's done right, They're no longer
Speaker 1: part of the company, but we want them to be
Speaker 1: alive the final we'll get it today. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: the NFC East. All of a sudden, the town's talking
Speaker 1: about Sam Bradford as the quarterback not only now but
Speaker 1: of the future for the Philadelphia the Eagles. I know
Speaker 1: you've got something to say about that. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be one of my observations from the game. But
Speaker 1: just to kind of preview it, I'm I'm not as
Speaker 1: sold I think as some people are. I think he's
Speaker 1: played fine, he's played okay, I don't know that he's
Speaker 1: played to the Greek, But you want to make a
Speaker 1: long term commitment to him, yet the press. You've got
Speaker 1: a lot so much to get to. Eagles all black,
Speaker 1: black on black, back in black on Sunday night for
Speaker 1: the fourth time, enfranchise history when the Arizona Cardinals come
Speaker 1: to town. That's fun stuff. Nationally televised game. We get
Speaker 1: into the NFC East in a little bit, we'll get
Speaker 1: some fantasy football talk as well. Glenn mcnow will offer
Speaker 1: his five takeaways from Sunday's outstanding win over the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: But let's first get your gut up and everything happening
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday at an overcare complex. Eagles out on
Speaker 1: the windy pitch at the Novicare Complex training today and
Speaker 1: Alex Smith has our Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update
Speaker 1: here on a beautiful day at the Novicare Complex. One
Speaker 1: of the main topics of discussion today was Eagles defensive
Speaker 1: and Fletcher Cox, who continues to put together an incredible
Speaker 1: season here in twenty fifteen. We heard from Cox and
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Bill Davis, along with some of his teammates,
Speaker 1: on just how strong Cox has been playing in the
Speaker 1: Eagles defense this season. Fletcher is a very well rounded
Speaker 1: defensive alignment. He can give you a good two gap
Speaker 1: and hold the point on a double team. He can
Speaker 1: convert the run into a pass rush really easy. And
Speaker 1: then when it's just a flat out pass rush, you know,
Speaker 1: he's got a couple of nice inside moves and he's
Speaker 1: giving people fits and and hopefully he'll get the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl recognition he deserves. Leg I think you definitely came
Speaker 1: a lead by the way he play. He's not a
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna sit there and just talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: you should do this and do that. I think the
Speaker 1: way he's playing is there for the Jaral leadership to
Speaker 1: so like it's he's not gonna do too much talk
Speaker 1: because you let it play took forward. I think I'm
Speaker 1: having a season, a real season, just and gives us,
Speaker 1: you know overall, but still I leave still still leave
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff on the table. I get mad
Speaker 1: at myself when I finish it. You know, a lot
Speaker 1: of plays and I just gotta do better. This weekend's opponents,
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, come in at eleven and two, having
Speaker 1: already clinched the spot in the NFC playoffs, and the
Speaker 1: Eagles know that they'll have their hands full on both
Speaker 1: offense and defense this Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
Speaker 1: They've got they've done a great job. Steve Kama is
Speaker 1: a good friend and was there when I was there
Speaker 1: and does a great job of picking the talent and
Speaker 1: loading them up. And they are loaded on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball over there, and that's why they're eleven
Speaker 1: and two and and really who they are in the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. But uh, you know, we've got
Speaker 1: a huge challenge this week because they've got loads of
Speaker 1: talent on offense and defense, and we've got to go
Speaker 1: out there and make our plays. You can't really doubleteam
Speaker 1: anybody on their On their team, they got you know,
Speaker 1: three or four solid receivers um and a really good
Speaker 1: tight end, and they do some good things their backs
Speaker 1: as well. Um, you know Florida and Outside Brown as
Speaker 1: speed guy who you know, we know all about him
Speaker 1: from last year. And then Larry is just you know,
Speaker 1: having one of those career years in the slot. And
Speaker 1: so everybody's got to win their matchup and it's not
Speaker 1: you know, you can't roll the help to one guy
Speaker 1: because all the other guys are more than capable of winning.
Speaker 1: That will wrap things up here from the Novacare Complex.
Speaker 1: Be sure to stay tuned to philadelphiagles dot com through
Speaker 1: out the week for all of the latest Eagles news.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Alex. We will talk about the NFC
Speaker 1: East in depth, will break it down for you, and

Speaker 1: I know it matters to you. Are you still alive?

Speaker 1: see the changes, you'll feel it, You'll love it. Pairs
Speaker 1: small fries with your favorite for two fifty on the
Speaker 1: brake menu at McDonald's. The score on Sunday was Eagles
Speaker 1: twenty three Buffalo twenty, a critical win for Philadelphia, a
Speaker 1: second straight six and seven tied for the division lead
Speaker 1: and Glenn. It was everything that we talked about all week,
Speaker 1: the hype, the pageantry, the drama. The football trumped all
Speaker 1: of that. The football was great and the win was
Speaker 1: so so critical. So the first thing, here's my first
Speaker 1: take away from this thing. We can now say that
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox is the best three four defensive end in
Speaker 1: the league this side of J. J. Watt. Once again,
Speaker 1: he was terrific. He was great against New England, he
Speaker 1: was great this game. He's the MVP of the team
Speaker 1: this year. And I don't know if fans across the
Speaker 1: country recognize it, but we recognize. You know. It's interesting
Speaker 1: because early in the year, walking around the hallways here
Speaker 1: and the conversation about Fletcher Cox, is he a great
Speaker 1: player or just a very good player? And I wanted
Speaker 1: to see from Fletcher that dominance one week to the next.
Speaker 1: And that's what we're seeing right now. And honestly, the
Speaker 1: comparisons with Fletcher and Jerome Brown aren't valid because Jerome
Speaker 1: Brown wasn't that kind of player. He was not a
Speaker 1: week to week player. He was in younger in his career,
Speaker 1: he was overweighted, he was not as productive. He started
Speaker 1: to trend that way and there were some moments of
Speaker 1: sheer dominance, but it wasn't week to week and Fletcher
Speaker 1: Cox is delivering week to week. Do you remember Jerome
Speaker 1: Brown that? Oh? Absolutely? Do you agree with me that? Yea,
Speaker 1: that he was the greatest. He could take over a game,
Speaker 1: but there would be times, and maybe it's because of
Speaker 1: all the talent he had around him, when he could
Speaker 1: disappear for a game. Two Fletcher's not. Fletcher is taking
Speaker 1: over every game. Absolutely, And I guarantee you the Cardinals
Speaker 1: are spending many hours trying to take number ninety one
Speaker 1: out of the equations. I mean they will. I'm sure
Speaker 1: at times put three guys on him. They're gonna have
Speaker 1: to all right, here he go, number two. It was
Speaker 1: great to see zach Ertz have that big game, that
Speaker 1: huge reception because we've been waiting now for three years
Speaker 1: for zach Ertz to emerge among the elite NFL tight ends.
Speaker 1: He's been hurt, it hasn't helped, But these last three games,
Speaker 1: given the stay of the Eagles receiving corps, it's a
Speaker 1: great time for zach Ertz to take over and be
Speaker 1: that dominant player. Yeah, I agree with you, and zach
Speaker 1: Ertz as an athlete. Maybe not at the level of
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, etc. But the catch and run against Buffalo
Speaker 1: running over a defensive back absolutely huge. And I would
Speaker 1: love to see him more involved in this passing game
Speaker 1: because this passing game, all this talk, it has not
Speaker 1: been to that level that we've seen with explosive plays
Speaker 1: in the past. Absolutely correct, So here you go. Number three.
Speaker 1: Avoiding penalties was such a key to winning this game
Speaker 1: and is always such a key. The Eagles had five
Speaker 1: penalty in the good consecutive holding calls on Dennis Kelly
Speaker 1: when he came in that it was a tough spot
Speaker 1: to come in. They had zero penalties on the defense, Dave,
Speaker 1: and that was such a great thing to have. Buffalo
Speaker 1: killed itself with penalties, as I told you on bold predictions,
Speaker 1: and the Eagles did not. And when you can avoid that,
Speaker 1: when you can play clean, you're gonna win. It's gonna
Speaker 1: really help you. Yeah, and Rex Ryan's team lived up
Speaker 1: to its reputation as Rex just continuing to just mantle
Speaker 1: its chances of winning with stupid penalties. And Eagles did
Speaker 1: play very discipline, and that's the mark of a good team.
Speaker 1: Trending in the playoff direction. I agree, all right. Number
Speaker 1: four mixed bag. I thought for Nelson Aguilar, you had
Speaker 1: that touchdown catch, which was beautiful, beautiful pass, by the way,
Speaker 1: his first career touchdown in the NFL. But he also
Speaker 1: had two drops on third downs. And we talk about
Speaker 1: receivers all the time on the Eagles. Somebody other than
Speaker 1: Earths that we talked about among the wide receivers is
Speaker 1: really going to have to make those clutch catches. Aguilar
Speaker 1: had the chance, he didn't do. It's a very up
Speaker 1: and down day for him. Yeah, agreed. And with Jordan Matthews,
Speaker 1: maybe he slowed just a bit with this sore back
Speaker 1: that he suffered the day before the game and his
Speaker 1: numbers really evening out here. The Eagles need somebody to
Speaker 1: step up. Josh Huff made a big play down the sideline.
Speaker 1: We continue to look for Nelson to become that go
Speaker 1: to threat. Maybe the touchdown loosens things up, but I
Speaker 1: agree the drops must be curtailed, all right. And so
Speaker 1: that number five is where are we with Sam Bradford.
Speaker 1: I thought he played well again, he played clean, that
Speaker 1: the interception was clear. Lynn on his fault, the sack
Speaker 1: he took at the two minutes ago was a very
Speaker 1: foolish decision. But he played well, and over the last
Speaker 1: three weeks he's completed four starts, excuse me, sixty five
Speaker 1: percent of his passes, five touchdowns, just that one interception.
Speaker 1: He's played well. To me, he hasn't played well enough
Speaker 1: that I'm ready to commit that long term contract to him.
Speaker 1: Of course, I don't make that decision, but I do
Speaker 1: think he's trending up, and you want to see through
Speaker 1: the next three games and sustained playoff drive that he
Speaker 1: kind of plays this way. You know, it's interesting some
Speaker 1: of the fan reaction that I heard after the loss
Speaker 1: to Detroit. It's over, the Eagles are done. Why play
Speaker 1: the rest of this Well? Now we see how quickly
Speaker 1: things change in the NFL, and one of the big
Speaker 1: stories all year has been the quarterback position. Who will
Speaker 1: it be? Is Sam Bradford a franchise quarterback? The Eagles
Speaker 1: will make that decision after the season. There are many
Speaker 1: ways to keep him in Philadelphia, but Bradford has played well,
Speaker 1: and I think what's most important is that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence from the rest of the locker room
Speaker 1: in Sam. They are now looking to Sam with confidence
Speaker 1: to make the right throw to put it in the
Speaker 1: right spot to get it out on time. And he
Speaker 1: really has gotten a lot better. It's clear to everyone
Speaker 1: that the rust from two years of inactivit is melting away.
Speaker 1: And what was good is we saw the deep ball
Speaker 1: this game. Hen't seen the deep balls sometimes check down, Sam.
Speaker 1: I love seeing the deep throw. I thought that you
Speaker 1: can keep that going. That'll be a great and we'll
Speaker 1: see against Arizona, a team that applies a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure to the pocket, a team that's got an outstanding secondary,
Speaker 1: those deep passes may not be there. Although last year
Speaker 1: Nick Foles through for four hundred and eleven yards. The
Speaker 1: Eagles had more than five hundred total net yards against
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. But we'll talk about the Cardinals in just
Speaker 1: a bit. The NFC East is well, it's tight, it's
Speaker 1: heating up. The Giants win on Monday night, Washington beat Chicago,
Speaker 1: Philadelphia beats Buffalo, and oh my, we've got a three
Speaker 1: team tie at the top of the division with three
Speaker 1: three games to go. Glenn and I will break down
Speaker 1: the NFC East when we return on Eagles three sixty.

Speaker 1: Glenn mac now time to break down the NFC is
Speaker 1: presented by Bob's Discount Furniture. Three team log jam. Glenn
Speaker 1: and who's got the advantage going down the stretch run
Speaker 1: first place on the line, The Eagles. The Eagles have
Speaker 1: the advantage because the Eagles control their own destiny. If
Speaker 1: you beat the Giants and you beat Washington, not in
Speaker 1: that order, you win the division. Nobody can take it
Speaker 1: away from the other teams. All have to rely on something.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about those teams, and first we'll
Speaker 1: begin with Washington. A big win against the Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Kirk Cousins continues to play effective, functional football.
Speaker 1: They lose tight end Derek Carrier with a knee injury.
Speaker 1: He's done for the season, and the Shawn Jackson with
Speaker 1: a knee bruise. He's iffy for this week. But they
Speaker 1: are still really playing hard and we keep saying they're
Speaker 1: not gonna be around at the end. They're not gonna
Speaker 1: be around. The Washington's there and they're for real. They
Speaker 1: are there. The defenses played better, as you said, they
Speaker 1: go and beat Chicago. Chicago can't win at home for
Speaker 1: whatever is because their field goal kickers thinks, yeah, he
Speaker 1: missed that one at the end. But Washington is able
Speaker 1: to win a game on the road, which they had
Speaker 1: not done before. You can't camp them out at this point.
Speaker 1: It's the team. I thought they're poorly coached. They didn't
Speaker 1: even Gruden and so on. But they're hanging around. So
Speaker 1: all you can hope is that the owners screws them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'll see if Buffalo can rebound from the loss
Speaker 1: to the Eagles on Sunday and go into FedEx Field
Speaker 1: and win that game. I think it's a good matchup
Speaker 1: for Buffalo. The explosive players on offense will really challenge
Speaker 1: a Redskins secondary that is not at full strength. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the Bills are still playing for something even though
Speaker 1: they lost this week. I think the Bills are the
Speaker 1: kind of team that may rebound, go in there and win.
Speaker 1: I'll I'll pick that. I like that all right now.
Speaker 1: The New York Giants and impressive win on Monday Night
Speaker 1: in Miami. The Odell Beckham Show continues. The passing game
Speaker 1: is absolutely the most explosive in this NFC. He's Eli Manning.
Speaker 1: When he has time to throw the football is deadly.
Speaker 1: He's got great weapons, got great confidence in his receivers
Speaker 1: and when they get it going, Glenn, there's tough. But
Speaker 1: you know, even with that defense, they are tough to
Speaker 1: continue to match scores with. Well, it's good Eli. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it was last night against Miami and you saw
Speaker 1: the catch. That catch he makes in the sideline right
Speaker 1: in the end zone was it was incredible. Um, their
Speaker 1: running game was better than it has been. I still
Speaker 1: don't trust their running game. And the thing but the
Speaker 1: Giants you saw us last night, they have no pass
Speaker 1: rush whatsoever. Once upon a time, their defensive line was
Speaker 1: the best in the league. Now their defensive line is terrible.
Speaker 1: It's gonna come down to that last game where it's
Speaker 1: gonna be is a good Elie or baddy Lie that
Speaker 1: the Eagles face, and recently the Eagles have seen Baddylie.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about New York hosting undefeated Carolina
Speaker 1: this week? I kind of you get nervous and get
Speaker 1: a little bit nerve right now. I don't think. I
Speaker 1: think Carolina now smells it. I think they they really
Speaker 1: believe they can join that group small group of immortal
Speaker 1: teams Miami and the Patriots, And I think, yeah, I
Speaker 1: absolutely do, and I think they're good. It's a good
Speaker 1: matchup for Carolina against New York. Is it still important
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys to win? Because remember we may
Speaker 1: need Dallas to win against Washington in that final week
Speaker 1: of the season. Are the Cowboys packing it in? The
Speaker 1: Cowboys are a dead carcass? But will they play hard
Speaker 1: the rest of the way here from now? Will the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys play hard against the New York Jets on
Speaker 1: Saturday night and come down the stretch and continue to
Speaker 1: try to win football games with an offense that just
Speaker 1: has fallen across They don't win football games when they
Speaker 1: do try. Okay, they're not gonna win football games. So
Speaker 1: if it comes down the Eagles, Giants, Dallas, Washington, you're
Speaker 1: not hoping, You're not going to get any help from Dallas.
Speaker 1: Now they're done in front of that raucous Dallas home crowd. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Rockets says they're walking out in the second quarter. So
Speaker 1: there's your look at the NFC East presented by Bob's
Speaker 1: Discount Furniture. When we return to Eagles three sixty, time
Speaker 1: to talk about the world of fantasy football. If you're
Speaker 1: still alive in your playoffs, we've got some tips for

Speaker 1: Alex Smith and Joe Dolan Fantasy Guru dot Com taking
Speaker 1: you on a Fantasy Spin. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith,
Speaker 1: and welcome to another edition of Fantasy Spin, presented by
Speaker 1: bud Light. I am joined as i am every week,
Speaker 1: by Joe Dolan, the managing editor of Fantasyguru dot com. Joe,
Speaker 1: let's look at the Eagles first, and we'll focus on
Speaker 1: this Sunday's matchup with the Arizona Cardinals and really looking
Speaker 1: at that Cardinals defense, They're solid all across the board.
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, are there any Eagles to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on this weekend? Yeah? I actually really
Speaker 1: like Zach Ertz and Darren Sprowles this week. I think
Speaker 1: it's a big week for both of them. I really
Speaker 1: don't see an Eagle quite frankly, who's going to be
Speaker 1: able to get open on a consistent basis against Patrick Peterson,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals top corner on the perimeter. And as we
Speaker 1: also know the Cardinals under James Betcher, they've kind of
Speaker 1: adopted very very similar blitz packages that they had under
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles. Sam Bradford was very good against the blitz
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills and Rex Ryan last week. I
Speaker 1: tend to think that because the Eagles aren't going to
Speaker 1: have success throwing on the perimeter in this game, I
Speaker 1: think they need to beat the Cardinals in the middle
Speaker 1: of the fields. I think this sets up well for
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz, sets up well for Darren Sprowles, and hey,
Speaker 1: if you're sixteen team league and you're dying, Brent Selleck,
Speaker 1: He's has a nose for the end zone. So I
Speaker 1: think this is a tight ends and running backs game
Speaker 1: for the Eagles. Also would expect to see Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: more heavily involved than this one, Jol. Injuries are tough
Speaker 1: to deal with at any point in the season, but
Speaker 1: at this point people are fighting for their fantasy football playoffs.
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a few players to pick
Speaker 1: up after some of your guys have been injured, who
Speaker 1: are a few names to keep in mind? Well, there
Speaker 1: are a lot of injuries unfortunately this past week, and
Speaker 1: I got all the tweets and people saying, what am
Speaker 1: I supposed to do? I'm eleven and two and I
Speaker 1: lose Andy Dalton and Tyler Right Thomas Rawls. These were
Speaker 1: some really crappy injuries this week. But if you managed
Speaker 1: to survive, there are some guys worth picking up. Number one,
Speaker 1: I would say it looks like t J. Yeldon, the
Speaker 1: running back of the Jaguars, is going to miss this
Speaker 1: week with a spring knee. Denard Robinson came in and
Speaker 1: played well. I think Denard Robinson, if you need a
Speaker 1: starter for just this week, probably is a guy you're
Speaker 1: going to be aggressively pursuing on the waiver wire. With
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls out in Seattle, Dwan Harris, the former packer,
Speaker 1: was the guy who came in and handled most of
Speaker 1: the carries for them. I believe he had eighteen carries,
Speaker 1: only forty two yards on those carries, but obviously not
Speaker 1: a guy who was well prepared to play. I would
Speaker 1: think he runs ahead of Fred Jackson on the food
Speaker 1: chain there. And then also you have him High Tower
Speaker 1: of the New Orleans Saints. I said last week, I
Speaker 1: think I'm avoiding this backfield, but once in Parol, the
Speaker 1: Saints have proven they really are disappointed in C. J. Spiller.
Speaker 1: Tim Hightower hasn't had carries since the twenty eleventh season.
Speaker 1: He comes out and handles almost all the workload for
Speaker 1: the injured mark Ingram. I feel comfortable at this point
Speaker 1: considering Tim high Tower as a starter. Somebody's going to
Speaker 1: play at least sixty five percent of the Saints offensive snaps.
Speaker 1: So those are some names you can consider at the
Speaker 1: running back position. And Joe as for a good matchup
Speaker 1: that you like this weekend, You've got your eyes in
Speaker 1: Detroit and a couple of key players there. Well. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: the Lions were a big disappointment against depleted Saint Louis
Speaker 1: Rams defense this past week. However, if I need a quarterback,
Speaker 1: I am going to the well again. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Matthew Stafford against the New Orleans Saints, and Calvin
Speaker 1: Johnson had a terrible game. He was shadowed by Tremaine Johnson.
Speaker 1: They shut him down, did the Saint Louis Rams. But
Speaker 1: I think he gets in the end zone against the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints this week and finally will close things
Speaker 1: out with a not so favorable matchup Buck Allen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Buck Allen plays Kansas City. Kansas City a red hot team,
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in the NFL. Buck Allen
Speaker 1: still managed in a PPR about ten Fantasy points last
Speaker 1: week just because he was catching a bunch of checkdowns
Speaker 1: from Jimmy Clawson. I cannot believe I'm saying this, but
Speaker 1: if you want to start Buck Allen this week. You're
Speaker 1: really crossing your fingers that Matt shob is going to
Speaker 1: be available to play. I think allan ceiling is much
Speaker 1: higher with shaub in there, but it is a bad
Speaker 1: matchup for him, whether it's Shab or Clawson, and certainly
Speaker 1: I will be ranking him lower this week if it

Speaker 1: Glenn mcnow and we're gonna talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: some under appreciated note probably underestimated, probably underrated. Underrated might
Speaker 1: be the best word Eagles players of all time. These
Speaker 1: are the ones who didn't make the top five list.
Speaker 1: Our top five list will be in a special segment
Speaker 1: on Facebook to make sure you check that out. Glenn
Speaker 1: has a list of the runners up. Here's the runners up.
Speaker 1: And I judged underrated by how they were viewed by
Speaker 1: the fans and or the media, not their coaches. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so here you go. Andy Harmon. Andy Harmon
Speaker 1: was a defensive tackle who had thirty one and a
Speaker 1: half sacks in three years. You know that's great for
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle. We're really not in the discussion so
Speaker 1: much then and so much now. Yeah. Good quick off
Speaker 1: the ball, number ninety one, good pass rush pressure and
Speaker 1: came at a tough time in post Gang Green Eagles
Speaker 1: defensive line era. Where if you weren't Reggie White and
Speaker 1: you weren't Jerome Brown, you weren't getting a whole lot
Speaker 1: of attention. You weren't loved. That's exactly right. All right,
Speaker 1: here's another one. Jermaine Mayberry. Now, Jermaine Maybury was drafted
Speaker 1: as a tackle out of a tiny little school in Texas.
Speaker 1: You remember the school, Texas A and M Kingsville. All
Speaker 1: you're good spinner? Yeah, okay? And he wasn't great as
Speaker 1: a tackle, but then they switched him over to guard.
Speaker 1: He makes a Pro Bowl. He was a key part
Speaker 1: of that line in the early two thousands, and when
Speaker 1: he left after two thousand and four, I think I
Speaker 1: think Donovan McNab really felt it. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1: And the interesting part, do you remember so Jermaine Maybury,
Speaker 1: at first round draft pick, spent his first game inactive
Speaker 1: I believe at a bar in Westchester. Wasn't that right?
Speaker 1: At the rat got the rat skiller? Is that right?
Speaker 1: I remember he was inactive. I didn't didn't know he
Speaker 1: was doing that. A road game and he went out
Speaker 1: and had a couple of consc. One that I know
Speaker 1: you like is John Runyon. We love John John. I
Speaker 1: will always appreciate John when he did to this franchise,
Speaker 1: but I think because John was, oh a little chippy,
Speaker 1: John didn't make his money Pro Bowls, So in that
Speaker 1: sense he was underappreciated and sign he was the first
Speaker 1: major free agent unrestricted free agent signing of the Andy
Speaker 1: Reid era. Brought toughness. He was out there every week
Speaker 1: at right tackle, and he and Trey Thomas the book
Speaker 1: ends on an offensive line that took this Eagles team
Speaker 1: to four consecutive NFC Championship games and then a fifth
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight. Right then signed here. No
Speaker 1: thanks to John Chaney, if that's right. All right, here's
Speaker 1: the last one. It's actually a two. And you may
Speaker 1: not even think of qualifies, but I do. Mike Bartram,
Speaker 1: John darn boss. The Eagles have had two long snappers
Speaker 1: this entire century, and I have to tell you, I
Speaker 1: can't think of more than what two or three blown
Speaker 1: snaps over fifteen years. Yeah, never talk about those guys.
Speaker 1: But they both did a great job, and they have
Speaker 1: both been in the Pro Bowl, and they've both been
Speaker 1: wonderful in the community and very durable. I agree with
Speaker 1: you for him, So let me ask you, is Donnie
Speaker 1: Jones on your list of no, because I think we
Speaker 1: appreciate them immensely. Yeah, a punter, though, I think he's
Speaker 1: but I think he I think he is so far
Speaker 1: and above. Okay, Well, you know it's the definition of
Speaker 1: what's under underappreciated. I don't underappreciate him. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think the fans here to. Well, I can't wait
Speaker 1: to get to your list and make sure you can
Speaker 1: find that. You can find that on Facebook our bonus
