We are here at an overcare complex, 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.600 home of the scalding Philadelphia Eagles, currently in a three 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:49.520 way tie in the red hot NFC East.

The good news is Dallas 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.680 nail meat coffin.

We'll talk about 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.240 the NFC East. All of a sudden, the town's talking 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.679 about Sam Bradford as the quarterback not only now but 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.280 of the future for the Philadelphia the Eagles. I know 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.479 you've got something to say about that. Yeah, and it's 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.280 gonna be one of my observations from the game. But 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.800 just to kind of preview it, I'm I'm not as 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.680 sold I think as some people are. I think he's 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.560 played fine, he's played okay, I don't know that he's 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.200 played to the Greek, But you want to make a 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.120 long term commitment to him, yet the press. You've got 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.520 a lot so much to get to. Eagles all black, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.880 black on black, back in black on Sunday night for 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.640 the fourth time, enfranchise history when the Arizona Cardinals come 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.399 to town. That's fun stuff. Nationally televised game. We get 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.280 into the NFC East in a little bit, we'll get 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.360 some fantasy football talk as well. Glenn mcnow will offer 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.960 his five takeaways from Sunday's outstanding win over the Buffalo Bills. 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.200 But let's first get your gut up and everything happening 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.040 on this Tuesday at an overcare complex. Eagles out on 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.960 the windy pitch at the Novicare Complex training today and 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.760 Alex Smith has our Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone, 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.160 I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.799 here on a beautiful day at the Novicare Complex. One 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.280 of the main topics of discussion today was Eagles defensive 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.480 and Fletcher Cox, who continues to put together an incredible 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.400 season here in twenty fifteen. We heard from Cox and 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.480 defensive coordinator Bill Davis, along with some of his teammates, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.840 on just how strong Cox has been playing in the 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.200 Eagles defense this season. Fletcher is a very well rounded 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.320 defensive alignment. He can give you a good two gap 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.799 and hold the point on a double team. He can 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.760 convert the run into a pass rush really easy. And 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.800 then when it's just a flat out pass rush, you know, 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.679 he's got a couple of nice inside moves and he's 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.800 giving people fits and and hopefully he'll get the Pro 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.720 Bowl recognition he deserves. Leg I think you definitely came 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.000 a lead by the way he play. He's not a 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.799 guy who's gonna sit there and just talk about, you know, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.440 you should do this and do that. I think the 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.760 way he's playing is there for the Jaral leadership to 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.280 so like it's he's not gonna do too much talk 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.519 because you let it play took forward. I think I'm 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.840 having a season, a real season, just and gives us, 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.360 you know overall, but still I leave still still leave 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.200 a lot of stuff on the table. I get mad 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.799 at myself when I finish it. You know, a lot 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.560 of plays and I just gotta do better. This weekend's opponents, 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.880 the Arizona Cardinals, come in at eleven and two, having 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.680 already clinched the spot in the NFC playoffs, and the 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.160 Eagles know that they'll have their hands full on both 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.160 offense and defense this Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.120 They've got they've done a great job. Steve Kama is 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.040 a good friend and was there when I was there 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.600 and does a great job of picking the talent and 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.280 loading them up. And they are loaded on both sides 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:39.920 of the ball over there, and that's why they're eleven 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:41.760 and two and and really who they are in the 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.520 last couple of years. But uh, you know, we've got 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.480 a huge challenge this week because they've got loads of 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.680 talent on offense and defense, and we've got to go 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.880 out there and make our plays. You can't really doubleteam 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.840 anybody on their On their team, they got you know, 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.680 three or four solid receivers um and a really good 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.480 tight end, and they do some good things their backs 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.600 as well. Um, you know Florida and Outside Brown as 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.280 speed guy who you know, we know all about him 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.240 from last year. And then Larry is just you know, 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.280 having one of those career years in the slot. And 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.640 so everybody's got to win their matchup and it's not 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.800 you know, you can't roll the help to one guy 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.920 because all the other guys are more than capable of winning. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.160 That will wrap things up here from the Novacare Complex. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.680 Be sure to stay tuned to philadelphiagles dot com through 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.159 out the week for all of the latest Eagles news. 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.719 Thanks so much, Alex. We will talk about the NFC 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.760 East in depth, will break it down for you, and 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.960 we'll also give you a little fantasy football conversation because 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.800 I know it matters to you.

That really mean a lot from Buffalo Eagles. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.800 What a day it was on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:09.600 We're coming right back on Eagles three sixty.

Freshness is our number one priority. 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.039 No One peazz our fresh fish. We have the precious apple, 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.640 the Christie's lettuce Fresh produces what we do. We do 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.120 the best cake decorading in the area, hands down, one 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.760 hundred and twenty three years strong. Come on in, You'll 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:29.440 see the changes, you'll feel it, You'll love it.

The score on Sunday was Eagles 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.720 twenty three Buffalo twenty, a critical win for Philadelphia, a 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.240 second straight six and seven tied for the division lead 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.159 and Glenn. It was everything that we talked about all week, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.360 the hype, the pageantry, the drama. The football trumped all 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.039 of that. The football was great and the win was 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.560 so so critical. So the first thing, here's my first 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.000 take away from this thing. We can now say that 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.200 Fletcher Cox is the best three four defensive end in 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.880 the league this side of J. J. Watt. Once again, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.160 he was terrific. He was great against New England, he 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.760 was great this game. He's the MVP of the team 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.480 this year. And I don't know if fans across the 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.440 country recognize it, but we recognize. You know. It's interesting 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.520 because early in the year, walking around the hallways here 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.560 and the conversation about Fletcher Cox, is he a great 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.880 player or just a very good player? And I wanted 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.480 to see from Fletcher that dominance one week to the next. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.200 And that's what we're seeing right now. And honestly, the 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:39.119 comparisons with Fletcher and Jerome Brown aren't valid because Jerome 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.520 Brown wasn't that kind of player. He was not a 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.280 week to week player. He was in younger in his career, 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.720 he was overweighted, he was not as productive. He started 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.720 to trend that way and there were some moments of 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.240 sheer dominance, but it wasn't week to week and Fletcher 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.760 Cox is delivering week to week. Do you remember Jerome 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.840 Brown that? Oh? Absolutely? Do you agree with me that? Yea, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.600 that he was the greatest. He could take over a game, 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.520 but there would be times, and maybe it's because of 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.160 all the talent he had around him, when he could 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.040 disappear for a game. Two Fletcher's not. Fletcher is taking 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.520 over every game. Absolutely, And I guarantee you the Cardinals 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.760 are spending many hours trying to take number ninety one 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.920 out of the equations. I mean they will. I'm sure 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:18.920 at times put three guys on him. They're gonna have 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.880 to all right, here he go, number two. It was 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.320 great to see zach Ertz have that big game, that 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.640 huge reception because we've been waiting now for three years 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.160 for zach Ertz to emerge among the elite NFL tight ends. 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.440 He's been hurt, it hasn't helped, But these last three games, 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.240 given the stay of the Eagles receiving corps, it's a 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.320 great time for zach Ertz to take over and be 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.160 that dominant player. Yeah, I agree with you, and zach 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.880 Ertz as an athlete. Maybe not at the level of 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.480 Jimmy Graham, etc. But the catch and run against Buffalo 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.280 running over a defensive back absolutely huge. And I would 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.160 love to see him more involved in this passing game 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.040 because this passing game, all this talk, it has not 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.320 been to that level that we've seen with explosive plays 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.600 in the past. Absolutely correct, So here you go. Number three. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.440 Avoiding penalties was such a key to winning this game 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.280 and is always such a key. The Eagles had five 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.920 penalty in the good consecutive holding calls on Dennis Kelly 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.839 when he came in that it was a tough spot 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.920 to come in. They had zero penalties on the defense, Dave, 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.760 and that was such a great thing to have. Buffalo 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.120 killed itself with penalties, as I told you on bold predictions, 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.960 and the Eagles did not. And when you can avoid that, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.360 when you can play clean, you're gonna win. It's gonna 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.800 really help you. Yeah, and Rex Ryan's team lived up 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:39.080 to its reputation as Rex just continuing to just mantle 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.400 its chances of winning with stupid penalties. And Eagles did 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.160 play very discipline, and that's the mark of a good team. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.040 Trending in the playoff direction. I agree, all right. Number 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.600 four mixed bag. I thought for Nelson Aguilar, you had 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.000 that touchdown catch, which was beautiful, beautiful pass, by the way, 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.160 his first career touchdown in the NFL. But he also 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.240 had two drops on third downs. And we talk about 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.600 receivers all the time on the Eagles. Somebody other than 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.920 Earths that we talked about among the wide receivers is 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.720 really going to have to make those clutch catches. Aguilar 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.120 had the chance, he didn't do. It's a very up 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.160 and down day for him. Yeah, agreed. And with Jordan Matthews, 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.040 maybe he slowed just a bit with this sore back 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.200 that he suffered the day before the game and his 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.360 numbers really evening out here. The Eagles need somebody to 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.680 step up. Josh Huff made a big play down the sideline. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.160 We continue to look for Nelson to become that go 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.080 to threat. Maybe the touchdown loosens things up, but I 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.080 agree the drops must be curtailed, all right. And so 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.839 that number five is where are we with Sam Bradford. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:45.360 I thought he played well again, he played clean, that 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.640 the interception was clear. Lynn on his fault, the sack 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.400 he took at the two minutes ago was a very 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.360 foolish decision. But he played well, and over the last 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.319 three weeks he's completed four starts, excuse me, sixty five 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.760 percent of his passes, five touchdowns, just that one interception. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.200 He's played well. To me, he hasn't played well enough 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.880 that I'm ready to commit that long term contract to him. 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.280 Of course, I don't make that decision, but I do 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.000 think he's trending up, and you want to see through 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.480 the next three games and sustained playoff drive that he 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.280 kind of plays this way. You know, it's interesting some 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.640 of the fan reaction that I heard after the loss 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:23.920 to Detroit. It's over, the Eagles are done. Why play 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.920 the rest of this Well? Now we see how quickly 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.960 things change in the NFL, and one of the big 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.040 stories all year has been the quarterback position. Who will 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.960 it be? Is Sam Bradford a franchise quarterback? The Eagles 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.960 will make that decision after the season. There are many 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.280 ways to keep him in Philadelphia, but Bradford has played well, 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:42.920 and I think what's most important is that there's a 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.720 lot of confidence from the rest of the locker room 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:49.640 in Sam. They are now looking to Sam with confidence 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.000 to make the right throw to put it in the 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.280 right spot to get it out on time. And he 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.520 really has gotten a lot better. It's clear to everyone 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.120 that the rust from two years of inactivit is melting away. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.040 And what was good is we saw the deep ball 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.320 this game. Hen't seen the deep balls sometimes check down, Sam. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.560 I love seeing the deep throw. I thought that you 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.320 can keep that going. That'll be a great and we'll 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.720 see against Arizona, a team that applies a lot of 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:17.319 pressure to the pocket, a team that's got an outstanding secondary, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.839 those deep passes may not be there. Although last year 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.559 Nick Foles through for four hundred and eleven yards. The 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.600 Eagles had more than five hundred total net yards against 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.360 Arizona Cardinals. But we'll talk about the Cardinals in just 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.840 a bit. The NFC East is well, it's tight, it's 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.960 heating up. The Giants win on Monday night, Washington beat Chicago, 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.640 Philadelphia beats Buffalo, and oh my, we've got a three 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.040 team tie at the top of the division with three 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.280 three games to go. Glenn and I will break down 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.720 the NFC East when we return on Eagles three sixty. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:19.320 But the pain carps to compete Electrolytes to replenish everything 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:26.760 you need to keep sweating.

Eagles insider Dave Spinnaro along with 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.360 Glenn mac now time to break down the NFC is 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.520 presented by Bob's Discount Furniture. Three team log jam. Glenn 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.080 and who's got the advantage going down the stretch run 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.760 first place on the line, The Eagles. The Eagles have 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.200 the advantage because the Eagles control their own destiny. If 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.000 you beat the Giants and you beat Washington, not in 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.680 that order, you win the division. Nobody can take it 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.960 away from the other teams. All have to rely on something. 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.360 All right, Let's talk about those teams, and first we'll 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.080 begin with Washington. A big win against the Chicago Bears 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:23.760 on Sunday, Kirk Cousins continues to play effective, functional football. 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.960 They lose tight end Derek Carrier with a knee injury. 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.920 He's done for the season, and the Shawn Jackson with 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.520 a knee bruise. He's iffy for this week. But they 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.800 are still really playing hard and we keep saying they're 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.200 not gonna be around at the end. They're not gonna 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.880 be around. The Washington's there and they're for real. They 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.440 are there. The defenses played better, as you said, they 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.240 go and beat Chicago. Chicago can't win at home for 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.920 whatever is because their field goal kickers thinks, yeah, he 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.280 missed that one at the end. But Washington is able 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.760 to win a game on the road, which they had 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.200 not done before. You can't camp them out at this point. 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.000 It's the team. I thought they're poorly coached. They didn't 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.520 even Gruden and so on. But they're hanging around. So 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.680 all you can hope is that the owners screws them. Yeah, 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.840 and we'll see if Buffalo can rebound from the loss 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.240 to the Eagles on Sunday and go into FedEx Field 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.280 and win that game. I think it's a good matchup 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.040 for Buffalo. The explosive players on offense will really challenge 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.520 a Redskins secondary that is not at full strength. Yeah, 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.520 and the Bills are still playing for something even though 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.360 they lost this week. I think the Bills are the 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.040 kind of team that may rebound, go in there and win. 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.880 I'll I'll pick that. I like that all right now. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.320 The New York Giants and impressive win on Monday Night 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.480 in Miami. The Odell Beckham Show continues. The passing game 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:39.520 is absolutely the most explosive in this NFC. He's Eli Manning. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.960 When he has time to throw the football is deadly. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.800 He's got great weapons, got great confidence in his receivers 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.640 and when they get it going, Glenn, there's tough. But 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.720 you know, even with that defense, they are tough to 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.400 continue to match scores with. Well, it's good Eli. Yeah, 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.760 And it was last night against Miami and you saw 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.080 the catch. That catch he makes in the sideline right 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.800 in the end zone was it was incredible. Um, their 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.840 running game was better than it has been. I still 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.679 don't trust their running game. And the thing but the 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.160 Giants you saw us last night, they have no pass 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.919 rush whatsoever. Once upon a time, their defensive line was 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.359 the best in the league. Now their defensive line is terrible. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.480 It's gonna come down to that last game where it's 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.800 gonna be is a good Elie or baddy Lie that 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.119 the Eagles face, and recently the Eagles have seen Baddylie. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:29.400 How do you feel about New York hosting undefeated Carolina 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:34.479 this week? I kind of you get nervous and get 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.040 a little bit nerve right now. I don't think. I 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.760 think Carolina now smells it. I think they they really 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.160 believe they can join that group small group of immortal 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:47.040 teams Miami and the Patriots, And I think, yeah, I 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.680 absolutely do, and I think they're good. It's a good 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.240 matchup for Carolina against New York. Is it still important 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.640 for the Dallas Cowboys to win? Because remember we may 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.840 need Dallas to win against Washington in that final week 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.760 of the season. Are the Cowboys packing it in? The 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.160 Cowboys are a dead carcass? But will they play hard 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:06.359 the rest of the way here from now? Will the 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.600 Dallas Cowboys play hard against the New York Jets on 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:13.080 Saturday night and come down the stretch and continue to 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.080 try to win football games with an offense that just 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:20.000 has fallen across They don't win football games when they 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.399 do try. Okay, they're not gonna win football games. So 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:26.720 if it comes down the Eagles, Giants, Dallas, Washington, you're 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.320 not hoping, You're not going to get any help from Dallas. 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.640 Now they're done in front of that raucous Dallas home crowd. Yeah, 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.199 Rockets says they're walking out in the second quarter. So 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.720 there's your look at the NFC East presented by Bob's 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:42.280 Discount Furniture.

Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith, 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.720 and welcome to another edition of Fantasy Spin, presented by 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:44.920 bud Light. I am joined as i am every week, 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.440 by Joe Dolan, the managing editor of Fantasyguru dot com. Joe, 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.280 let's look at the Eagles first, and we'll focus on 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.240 this Sunday's matchup with the Arizona Cardinals and really looking 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.040 at that Cardinals defense, They're solid all across the board. 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.320 So with that in mind, are there any Eagles to 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.840 keep an eye on this weekend? Yeah? I actually really 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.360 like Zach Ertz and Darren Sprowles this week. I think 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.160 it's a big week for both of them. I really 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.600 don't see an Eagle quite frankly, who's going to be 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.879 able to get open on a consistent basis against Patrick Peterson, 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.399 the Cardinals top corner on the perimeter. And as we 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.600 also know the Cardinals under James Betcher, they've kind of 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.480 adopted very very similar blitz packages that they had under 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.760 Todd Bowles. Sam Bradford was very good against the blitz 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.800 against the Buffalo Bills and Rex Ryan last week. I 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.280 tend to think that because the Eagles aren't going to 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.919 have success throwing on the perimeter in this game, I 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:35.960 think they need to beat the Cardinals in the middle 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.080 of the fields. I think this sets up well for 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.680 Zach Ertz, sets up well for Darren Sprowles, and hey, 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:45.320 if you're sixteen team league and you're dying, Brent Selleck, 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:47.840 He's has a nose for the end zone. So I 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.160 think this is a tight ends and running backs game 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.880 for the Eagles. Also would expect to see Jordan Matthews 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.200 more heavily involved than this one, Jol. Injuries are tough 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.119 to deal with at any point in the season, but 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:00.440 at this point people are fighting for their fantasy football playoffs. 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:02.560 So if you're looking for a few players to pick 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:04.760 up after some of your guys have been injured, who 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:07.200 are a few names to keep in mind? Well, there 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.000 are a lot of injuries unfortunately this past week, and 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.600 I got all the tweets and people saying, what am 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.600 I supposed to do? I'm eleven and two and I 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:18.280 lose Andy Dalton and Tyler Right Thomas Rawls. These were 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.159 some really crappy injuries this week. But if you managed 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:24.280 to survive, there are some guys worth picking up. Number one, 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.359 I would say it looks like t J. Yeldon, the 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:28.399 running back of the Jaguars, is going to miss this 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.119 week with a spring knee. Denard Robinson came in and 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.679
