Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It's Eagles three sixty on this Thursday Eagles
Speaker 1: and Saturday Spero along with Glenn mac Now, I've got
Speaker 1: a great show for you today, the Voice of the Eagles,
Speaker 1: Merrow Reese in studio. We've got Glenn's bold predictions and
Speaker 1: three of them are quite bold. Congratulations we are I'm
Speaker 1: glad you're here. They're bold, two of them. Two of
Speaker 1: the three will be correct. We are monitoring, of course,
Speaker 1: the injury situation on Thursday. Sam Bradford still not practicing,
Speaker 1: nor is Ryan Matthews and Jason Peters. Glen your thoughts
Speaker 1: on the Eagles offense potentially without those three, I think
Speaker 1: it makes it really tough. I think you can get
Speaker 1: by short term without Ryan Matthews because you do have
Speaker 1: depth at running back. I think we saw how much
Speaker 1: they missed Jason Peters last week, and so that's gonna
Speaker 1: remain problematic. Dennis Kelly's going to have to do a
Speaker 1: job out there, and Tampa Bay is gonna know if
Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly is playing, and they're gonna scheme that way.
Speaker 1: And you wonder, if it is Dennis Kelly and Lane
Speaker 1: Johnson on the least side, will the Eagles give the
Speaker 1: tackles a lot of help. Will they max protect? Will
Speaker 1: they change things up? Oh? I thought they were going
Speaker 1: to do that last week. The thing that happened last week, though,
Speaker 1: is the tight ends were so open. I think because
Speaker 1: Grimes didn't play, who was going to be the Dolphins
Speaker 1: defensive back focusing on the tight ends. So they kept
Speaker 1: finding Brent Sellick for thirty forty yards and Zach Ertz
Speaker 1: caught a passes. But you're gonna have to do that.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has a good front seven. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: to help your quarterback. Big game, big challenge. On Sunday.
Speaker 1: Let's get you caught up with everything that is going
Speaker 1: on at the Novercare Complex on this Thursday. It's our
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty update. We throw it out to the
Speaker 1: training field. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is
Speaker 1: your three sixty update. The rainy weather here at the
Speaker 1: Novicare Complex forcet the Eagles inside the bubble for today's
Speaker 1: training session. Before practice began, we heard from Eagles head
Speaker 1: coach Chip Kelly, who gave an injury update on Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford and spoke about how backup quarterback Mark Santez will
Speaker 1: be ready to go if called upon Santa that lifting
Speaker 1: is not doing anything right now, it's just in meanings.
Speaker 1: I think in this league quarterbacks no, at least here
Speaker 1: they know and then they should know that you have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play every single week, you know, in
Speaker 1: that position because of the injury rate with quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So you have to prepare like
Speaker 1: you're the starters. Now, that's one thing about Mark his
Speaker 1: work ethic. He's in this building very late every night.
Speaker 1: He works extremely hard on the game plan. He prepares
Speaker 1: himself like he's going to be the starter, whether he's
Speaker 1: named the starter going into that game, or it occurs
Speaker 1: in the first quarter or second quarter or a third quarter.
Speaker 1: When he goes in there, he has to be able
Speaker 1: to function in our offense, you know. So we don't
Speaker 1: have to say, hey, we have to throw this whole
Speaker 1: chunk of off side. We just only can go with
Speaker 1: a small portion of it. We're allowed to run because
Speaker 1: of Marks understanding what we're doing. We can run everything
Speaker 1: that we have in our game plan that week. So meanwhile,
Speaker 1: inside the Eagles locker room, we heard from running back
Speaker 1: to Marco Mary who spoke about working out the kinks
Speaker 1: with Mark Sanchez when it comes to running the read option.
Speaker 1: Oh just m I think, you know, obviously not working
Speaker 1: with each other throughout the course of the year, and
Speaker 1: then working with Sam and not necessarily reading it, you know,
Speaker 1: and Mark coming in more of a runner. So we
Speaker 1: gotta fix this week, so it shouldn't be a problem
Speaker 1: going forward. On the defensive side of the ball, we
Speaker 1: heard from linebacker Connor Barwin and safety Walter Thurmond on
Speaker 1: facing off against number one overall pick Jameis Winston. Now,
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't put all rookie quarterbacks in the
Speaker 1: same box, you know what I mean. And he's the
Speaker 1: number one pick that is growing quickly and playing better
Speaker 1: and better every week, so I don't really view him
Speaker 1: as you know, your typical rookie quarterback anymore. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a like a big you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's looking more to still throw the ball
Speaker 1: downfield as opposed to running, you know. So, I mean
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where when he is in
Speaker 1: a position to where he has to run, he'll run
Speaker 1: the ball, especially in the red zone, you know, to
Speaker 1: where plays break down, and he does. He is pretty
Speaker 1: elusive and he has a big body to take down
Speaker 1: and also guy who's very has great balance, you know
Speaker 1: in the pocket when he has those guys around him.
Speaker 1: And as previously mentioned, quarterback Sam Bradford still has not
Speaker 1: passed through the least concussion Protocol. And for all the
Speaker 1: rest of the Eagles injury updates, be sure to stay
Speaker 1: tuned to Philadelphia Eagles dot com for all the latest news.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Alex. A little bit later in the show,
Speaker 1: we'll talk with the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles, Merrill
Speaker 1: REESU reminds us of a very important event that happened
Speaker 1: thirty seven years ago, but when we returned to Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty, Glenn and I are going to take a
Speaker 1: break from Eagles in Tampa Bay and talk about something
Speaker 1: that we think will make you smile. The five most
Speaker 1: exciting players in the last twenty five years of the
Speaker 1: is football. I scept to Philly. I scept the Philly.
Speaker 1: You're step by Philly, the bus, the trolley, the train
Speaker 1: route one twenty four root twenty three, I sept the Philly,

Speaker 1: arrived in a natta and I can't wait to start
Speaker 1: telling people. I switching to Geico, who could save the
Speaker 1: munch of the dollars on car and charge. But first
Speaker 1: my luggage. There is no excuse me, sir, I think
Speaker 1: you've got the wrong bag. Sorry, I'll look alike. You know,
Speaker 1: no worries? Well cause here I can't say people money
Speaker 1: chatting at the back each Glenn all day, gotta go
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on
Speaker 1: car insurance. I got tickets, Metro tickets. You need a
Speaker 1: Metro ticket. Talk to me, please, I don't even know
Speaker 1: he's real tickets. If you know, just to touch it,
Speaker 1: this leather legit. I mean, how do we really know
Speaker 1: it looks good? Right? No, I'm paying myself. I gotta
Speaker 1: make Does the baby need a Metro ticket? I'll give
Speaker 1: her one on me. These tickets, they're not stealing your soul.
Speaker 1: You can look at him. May nobody wants to buy
Speaker 1: tickets from a guy on the street. I don't understand
Speaker 1: we are talking about the five most exciting Eagles. According
Speaker 1: to Glenn in the last twenty five years, he's got
Speaker 1: the names, I've got the reaction. Yes, I want to
Speaker 1: tee this up so that you can shoot it down.
Speaker 1: That's okay. Here's the runners up, Dave spiderro Eric Allen,
Speaker 1: Carol Owens, Seth Joiner, Mike Vick, Lashawn McCoy, Brian Mitchell,
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls. All right, apologies to Mike Quick. He just
Speaker 1: fell out of the twenty five years. Has it been
Speaker 1: that lung since? Yeah, nineteen ninety And at number six
Speaker 1: Brian Dawkins, who you figure has to be on the list.
Speaker 1: This must be one heck of a list. It's one
Speaker 1: heck of a list. Here you go at number five?
Speaker 1: Is number five? Is Donovan McNabb, Right, He remember when
Speaker 1: he was early when he would remember the spin move.
Speaker 1: They would get around and he would jump over people.
Speaker 1: He was more exciting early in his career when he
Speaker 1: was more liable to run. Yeah, but you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not Why do you think he stopped running going? Um?
Speaker 1: I think he stopped running for two things. I think
Speaker 1: one was self preservation and two I really don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of doubt that he did not like the image.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to fall into the image of a
Speaker 1: black quarterback who just ran, and I really do think
Speaker 1: that was called the stigma of being called the scrambling quarterback.
Speaker 1: He wanted to be known as a quarterback who could
Speaker 1: also run. Right. Most exciting play ever the well the
Speaker 1: move against Mark Carrier early in the Redskins. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: good one going down the sidelines. I would tell you
Speaker 1: the twenty fourteen seconds of time he bought in the backfield.
Speaker 1: All right again, single Dallas cowboy. I asked you one.
Speaker 1: I was gonna give it an other. Yes, that's a
Speaker 1: good one. Two and fourth and twenty six. All right,
Speaker 1: here you go at number four. We just shoot off
Speaker 1: fourth in twenty six like it's nothing. It was something
Speaker 1: at number four. Reggie White the most exciting defensive player
Speaker 1: I've ever seen it on the Eagles because your eye
Speaker 1: would be drawn to him when he was on the field,
Speaker 1: and he would toss guys aside like they were rag dolls,
Speaker 1: and he would bull rush and he would you know,
Speaker 1: he would, he would speed rush. He did everything. He
Speaker 1: was a dynamic, exciting player. With apologies to Keith Millard
Speaker 1: and Bruce Walker, I think you're probably right, wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: Bruce Walker. And the all time play for him was
Speaker 1: that seventy yard he strip sacks Doug Williams and just
Speaker 1: picks up the wall and runs seventy yards with it.
Speaker 1: That was a great one one playoff game he won
Speaker 1: was again as the Philadelphi Eagle was against Saints. Right right, yeah,
Speaker 1: very well? Co tight, yes, all right? Number three DeShawn Jackson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the punt return against the Giants, Miracle of
Speaker 1: the Metal Lands three, That was three right, three was
Speaker 1: named the most exciting play in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is, but it's certainly up there.
Speaker 1: And he was a guy that just he could beat
Speaker 1: you on speed, he could beat you on moves, and
Speaker 1: could fall into the end zone. Everything he did was excited,
Speaker 1: sometimes infuriating, but always excited. And when he scored that
Speaker 1: touchdown against the New York Giants, we jumped in the
Speaker 1: press box who literally blood was drawn from people throwing
Speaker 1: their fists in the Eagles small section. And when Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews scored a couple of weeks ago against the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: it brought back memories of the DeShawn Jackson touchdown. Much
Speaker 1: more muted celebration. No blood on this one. DeShawn Jackson
Speaker 1: deserves to be on the lost because he drew blood.
Speaker 1: The other image of him that I always loved was
Speaker 1: him chest pumping Andy Reid. Yeah, that was always a
Speaker 1: fun one to watch, all right. Number two Brian Westbrook, Right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta tell you you're gonna best he
Speaker 1: ever decides. This is the best play he ever made.
Speaker 1: Is the punt return against the Giants. One of them,
Speaker 1: but the one, the greene pass in Tampa Bay regular
Speaker 1: season game the Eagles lost on a Matt Bryan field
Speaker 1: goal when Westbrook took a screen pass and danced his
Speaker 1: way down the field for I think a sixty two
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Absolute vintage Brian Westbrook. Hands moves, vision first,
Speaker 1: some power. Brian Westbrook did it all and played with
Speaker 1: the chip on his shoulder. Just a tremendous football player
Speaker 1: who is now a Hall of Fame member of the Eagles.
Speaker 1: One more Brian Westbrook play two thousand and seven against
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Eagles are up to have the ball at
Speaker 1: the Dallas twenty five yard line. He burst through, gets
Speaker 1: to the one and stops It was the smart football
Speaker 1: move fantasy owners were cursing him around the country, but
Speaker 1: in football moves it was equipped with you all right,
Speaker 1: number one one, Well, this is easy. It's Randall. Randall
Speaker 1: is the most exciting football player I have ever seen
Speaker 1: on any team. The scrambling, the moves, the arm. Everything
Speaker 1: Randall did in his entire career was a highlight film.
Speaker 1: He could sometimes infuriate you. But man, when he did
Speaker 1: the pass to Jimmy Giles against Tampa, I mean against yeah,
Speaker 1: against Tampa, the play I mean against the Giants. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: that's right against the Giants. Shouldn't Jelly used playing Tampa
Speaker 1: against the Giants. The ninety five yard duck under Bruce
Speaker 1: Smith and throw against Buffalo ordinally from AFAR talk radio background. Yes,
Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham the number one lightning rod and of all
Speaker 1: time Eagles second to TiO. But TiO was short term. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Randall was long term. And one more highlight of his
Speaker 1: that I'll never forget. I couldn't believe it now. I
Speaker 1: gave you that one, ok. I couldn't believe it when
Speaker 1: I saw it. The guy punted the ball ninety one yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: A lot of wind at Giants Stadium at David's still remarkable.
Speaker 1: Come on, so that's the top five. Dave, this is
Speaker 1: the time for you to endorse the list and say
Speaker 1: it was perfect. It is a great list, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you though, Michael Vick really not that far off. But no,
Speaker 1: he he was on my But a great list and
Speaker 1: all deserving the five most exciting Philadelphia Eagles. Duncan's new

Speaker 1: for Glenn mac Now to give us some bold predictions.
Speaker 1: The MacMan mcmcaman mcglenbow think, well, there you go, see
Speaker 1: you again. It always was. I'm yours Andy, Here you go,
Speaker 1: here go. Number one, coming off a really poor game
Speaker 1: in which he was rusty, Demiko Ryans is going to
Speaker 1: have a big week this week. He's gonna lead the
Speaker 1: Eagles and tackles and Dave Spidero. He's gonna have one
Speaker 1: of these above. I see it either a sack, a
Speaker 1: forced fumble, or at least he doesn't have a tackle
Speaker 1: for a loss. This year, he's gonna have that. I
Speaker 1: think he matches up against the muscle hamster than he
Speaker 1: did against Miami's quicker running backs. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a good game for Demiko Rounds. You're smelling Glen
Speaker 1: a takeaway something Eagles didn't do last week against I
Speaker 1: mean that was really that really came back to haunt
Speaker 1: the Sure it did because they had been doing it
Speaker 1: all year. Yea, Miami punted seven of its last nine
Speaker 1: possessions and yet they win the thing. Yeah, that makes
Speaker 1: no sense. All right, here you go, number two. You
Speaker 1: are going to be remembering and cursing the name Kwon Alexander.
Speaker 1: Who is he? Right? He is a rookie. He was
Speaker 1: their fourth round pick. He's kind of their Jordan Hicks
Speaker 1: fourth round pick middle linebacker for them. He's got two interceptions,
Speaker 1: he's got a couple of sacks this year. He's coming
Speaker 1: on really nicely. They see him as a big part
Speaker 1: of the future. Twenty one years old. Now here's the
Speaker 1: one thing I would say. He's only six foot one
Speaker 1: and a half two hundred twenty seven pounds. So if
Speaker 1: you can put a body on him, I think you
Speaker 1: can be effective again against him. But I think that's
Speaker 1: going to be the name that everybody's going to go,
Speaker 1: who the heck was that and how did he hurt?
Speaker 1: And that body would be Jason Kelsey, who has been
Speaker 1: really hard on himself this week. What's interesting about Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay is they're just so young. They're very, very talented.
Speaker 1: The quarterback Jameis Winston a rookie. They've got two offensive
Speaker 1: linemen who are rookies, Kwan Alexander rookie. They're getting excellent
Speaker 1: mileage from their draft class. That certainly helps wing the
Speaker 1: draft at number one overall. But Jason Light and his
Speaker 1: crew down there rebuilding on the run with love you Smith,
Speaker 1: I'm doing a nice, nice job. I was in or
Speaker 1: somebody who's really fast to the football be a good
Speaker 1: match against Kelsey's agility. I'm looking forward to it. All. Right,
Speaker 1: here you go, Number three. The Eagles will have at
Speaker 1: least thirty first downs this game. Now, they had twenty
Speaker 1: nine last week, so maybe this isn't his Bowl. They
Speaker 1: had I think thirty four against New Orleans earlier in
Speaker 1: this season. But here's what I think. I think with
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez, the offense is going to move fast. We
Speaker 1: saw that when he came in. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to move well. The problems, of course, are turnovers and
Speaker 1: critical turnovers. But I do think the Eagles are going
Speaker 1: to move the ball well at least thirty first down. Okay,
Speaker 1: give me points? Then how many points first downs? I know,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, offensive points, offensive points twenty one,
Speaker 1: twenty one points, twenty one offensive put one offer Tamiko
Speaker 1: Ryan's may maybe maybe I'll give you twenty eight points
Speaker 1: for the Eagle. Allright, We've got two more predictions coming
Speaker 1: from Glenn and our kickoff show that airs at noon
Speaker 1: on Sunday right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Make
Speaker 1: sure you're with us every step of the way. Is

Speaker 1: next to me that has significance, we welcome into the
Speaker 1: studio and the Eagles three sixty The voice of the Philadelphiagles,
Speaker 1: Merrill Reese. I didn't know anything about it, actually, but
Speaker 1: one of our viewers called me before I came in
Speaker 1: and he said, do you know what today is? And
Speaker 1: I said, it's a Thursday, the nineteenth of November. He said, yes,
Speaker 1: the thirty seventh anniversary of the Miracle of the Metal
Speaker 1: ends November nineteenth, nineteen seventy eight. When Harrv Edwards scooped
Speaker 1: the football. Well, the Eagles could use some good luck
Speaker 1: here for this weekend, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming to town, Merrill,
Speaker 1: and all signs appear to be pointing in the direction
Speaker 1: of Mark Sanchez as the starting quarterback. Nothing official, of course.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Sanchez should he be the starter on Sunday? Well,
Speaker 1: I like Mark Sanchez. I think the Mark Sanchez is
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. I think he's very athletic. I think
Speaker 1: he has a stronger arm than people give him credit call.
Speaker 1: When he came here, initially he was coming off his
Speaker 1: shoulder surgery. But I've watched him throughout the summer. I
Speaker 1: watched him at practice and he throwe with a lot
Speaker 1: of velosophy, and that's everybody agrees. And as you know,
Speaker 1: the big question with Mark is the turnovers, the giveaways
Speaker 1: crucial times. And you've been around Merrils, You've seen a
Speaker 1: bunch of quarterbacks. You've seen a good ones, you've seen
Speaker 1: are not so good ones. What does Mark Sanchez do
Speaker 1: the next time he's in the red zone and a
Speaker 1: pass play is called, Well, let's hope he hits a
Speaker 1: receiver in the hams and they score a touchdown. Now
Speaker 1: it's not just Mark Sanchez, and I'm not telling you
Speaker 1: the Mark Sanchos is Tom Brady, but there's a little
Speaker 1: bit of luck involved in these things too. I saw
Speaker 1: Tom Brady last week against the Giants, and he's driving
Speaker 1: the Patriots down in the red zone. He throws a
Speaker 1: terrible interception at the goal line. The differences, but Mark
Speaker 1: Sanchez the game is over. They don't score in the
Speaker 1: next drive, but tom Brady gets one more shot after
Speaker 1: the Giants misused the clock, and he marches them down
Speaker 1: and then throws an interception to the Giants that they
Speaker 1: drop when they come down and he has another chance.
Speaker 1: So again, I'm not saying that Tom Brady is one
Speaker 1: of the two or three best quarterbacks who ever laced
Speaker 1: it up, But I think that Mark Sanchez can do
Speaker 1: the job, and I have a lot of confidence. And
Speaker 1: it is something though that has been recurring with Mark,
Speaker 1: and I wonder do coaches change things up. Do you
Speaker 1: think Mary like when Chip is in that situation again,
Speaker 1: and he will be in this situation again potentially on
Speaker 1: Sunday or Thursday against Detroit if Sam can't go, do
Speaker 1: you think Chip calls a pass play in that situation.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he doesn't call pass play in
Speaker 1: that situation, but maybe it's a lower risk pass play,
Speaker 1: maybe you don't throw the ball over the middle, for example,
Speaker 1: or a pylon type pattern where it's either Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: or nobody. But I don't know. I'm not I'm like
Speaker 1: game planning for Chip or anybody else. But I do
Speaker 1: know that there are certain things where you can minimize
Speaker 1: the risk with the individual play that you call Merro
Speaker 1: It's it's certainly, it's surprising, unsettling, disappointing, whatever word you
Speaker 1: want to use. To be four and five, lots of
Speaker 1: season to go, of course, why are the Eagles four
Speaker 1: and five? What has not gone the way you thought
Speaker 1: it would go at the beginning of the season. A
Speaker 1: lot of things they didn't Jill, It took more time.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of new people on this team.
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford. I thought that when Sam Bradford went out,
Speaker 1: I thought he was playing at a very high level,
Speaker 1: and he played an excellent game in Dallas, and I
Speaker 1: thought Dick Vermeil watched it and he agreed that Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford actually played pretty well in Carolina. Sam Bradford has
Speaker 1: been improving very, very steadily. I think that maybe we
Speaker 1: all expected to see Sam Bradford play as he played
Speaker 1: in the preseason game at Green Bay, not realizing at
Speaker 1: the time that number one Green Bay is a terrible
Speaker 1: defensive team and number two there was no game planning
Speaker 1: for Sam Bradford. But here's the guy who hadn't played
Speaker 1: in the year and a half and he's with a
Speaker 1: new team and a new offense. It takes time for
Speaker 1: him to jill and defensively, there were some breakdowns. The
Speaker 1: wide receivers had a case a collective epidemic of the drops,
Speaker 1: and these are things you have to fight your way
Speaker 1: through your thoughts on Eagles Tampa Bay on Sunday. Win
Speaker 1: this game, number one. It's a critical game. Again, I
Speaker 1: only use the word must when we talk about mathematics,
Speaker 1: but it is a critical game. You don't want to
Speaker 1: see this team fall back to back to Miami and
Speaker 1: then to Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is a better team
Speaker 1: than the Miami Dolphins. They've got some tremendous wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Number thirteen, Mike Evans. He really made Johnny football. I've
Speaker 1: never been a Johnny Mansiel fan, but I think that
Speaker 1: he benefited greatly at Texas A and m by having
Speaker 1: this big wide receiver with great hands who could leap
Speaker 1: through the sky. They've got to find a way to
Speaker 1: minimize his effect. That's very important. Number Two, they've got
Speaker 1: to put a lot of pressure on Jameis Winston, a
Speaker 1: great talent that's still a rookie. At a rookie that
Speaker 1: you can get to who threw two picks in Dallas.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. We all thought if the Eagles got off
Speaker 1: to a good start against Miami, that would be enough
Speaker 1: to beat the Dolphins. But you've got to play fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: four quarters, and we are waiting for that fourth quarter
Speaker 1: performance from this football team. Yeah, I mean, like everybody else.
Speaker 1: When they were up sixteen to three, I thought, boy,
Speaker 1: how badly can they beat this team? But that was it.
Speaker 1: That was it. If you told me that after that
Speaker 1: first quarter they would score only three points the rest
Speaker 1: of the way, I would say that's impossible, impossible, But
Speaker 1: we saw it. So they've got to be better and
Speaker 1: Frankly Dave, the offensive line, with or without Jason Peters,
Speaker 1: has to play better than they played against Miami, and
Speaker 1: Damikan Sue had a field day getting to the quarterback
Speaker 1: and you're getting another they're tough defensive tackle Interestingly enough,
Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten, Sam Bradford was the first
Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft, and then two plays later
Speaker 1: his teammate at Oklahoma, Gerald McCoy, came along and he
Speaker 1: is a handful. They have got to account for Gerald

Speaker 1: I know I'll beat the coach and say that we
Speaker 1: take the one game at a time and they must
Speaker 1: beat Tampa Bay. They absolutely they have to beat Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: And we will use the omen the very good one
Speaker 1: of thirty seven years ago, the Miracle of the Meadowlands happened,
Speaker 1: the Eagles getting some good fortune. Then hopefully some good
Speaker 1: fortune comes the team's way, and hopefully it doesn't take

Speaker 1: Spidero along with Glenn mcnow. Time now for the game
Speaker 1: plan crew, My Quicken I Grease to talk about one
Speaker 1: of the relics, one of the true Eagles of all time.
Speaker 1: Brent Sellick had a fantastic catching the football last week.
Speaker 1: He's been solid all year long. All right, Mike progresson
Speaker 1: Fort takes us to the wily veteran of this team,
Speaker 1: Brent Sellick tighten resurface this week and the Dolphins had
Speaker 1: no idea where to finding watching me on the first
Speaker 1: play from the offensive series, it's a nice design play.
Speaker 1: They bring Riley Cooper Costs in motion, dragging the linebacker
Speaker 1: out there. You got the two receivers up top with
Speaker 1: a single high coverage. This is going to allow Brent
Speaker 1: Selleck just to sneak in here. And we got confusion
Speaker 1: down here at the bottom from these defenders. They don't
Speaker 1: realize Selick is snuck out the back door here. You
Speaker 1: get the confusion because they've seen this outside zone run
Speaker 1: and that's the play action that they give them. The
Speaker 1: outside zone run. So the linebackers really biting hard on
Speaker 1: that outside zone fake and he leaves Brent Sellick, who
Speaker 1: should have been covered in man coverage, wide open for
Speaker 1: an easy throw. I tell you, oh, guy still has
Speaker 1: some wheels he consu running. Watch this. This is basically
Speaker 1: the same play without the motion. Here, they're gonna find
Speaker 1: a way. Great play, Faith, you got protection up front.
Speaker 1: You're gonna watch sellec from the end come across again.
Speaker 1: He's gonna settle right behind the linebackers, right in front
Speaker 1: of the safety and then Mark Sanchez. I believe there's
Speaker 1: a great job avaiting the tackler here and then zipping
Speaker 1: the ball in there the celler. Yeah, you're right, real
Speaker 1: nice job by Mark put Notice Brent Selleck, he recognizes
Speaker 1: that its zone. He's not fully running across the field.
Speaker 1: He's gonna sit down right in that soft window and
Speaker 1: give an easy throw to this quarterback. Mark Sanchez really
Speaker 1: was a nice job getting the tight ends involved again.
Speaker 1: Get in the game. We saw Brent Selleck out in
Speaker 1: the passing routes. He's a very good blocker as well.
Speaker 1: Watching here this play does a great job picking up
Speaker 1: the free rusher on the end. This allows Mark Sanchez
Speaker 1: time to step up in the pocket and then he
Speaker 1: finds Zach hurts across the field. Selik's a tight endmate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the key block to get Mark Sanchez opened
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. He climbs the pocket, does a
Speaker 1: nice job of doing that. But Brent Sellett getting back
Speaker 1: to more of what he's been doing throughout this season.
Speaker 1: He only caught seven balls in the first eight games
Speaker 1: of the season, but came up big in this one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and his unselfish play has allowed other guys in his
Speaker 1: softens to flourish. Is the reason why Chiff Kelly loves
Speaker 1: him as a player on his team. The guys willing
Speaker 1: to do everything and when you call on him to
Speaker 1: catch the ball, he typically makes the catch. Thanks so much, guys, Glenn.
Speaker 1: Some final thoughts you what are you feeling on this Thursday?
Speaker 1: They've been an amazing game. Well, they've been amazingly inconsistent
Speaker 1: all year, and the Miami game was one that there
Speaker 1: was no way you lose a game when you're up
Speaker 1: sixteen to three against a bad team in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: But they managed to do it. I think because the
Speaker 1: Eagles are so inconsistent, they bounced back this week. They
Speaker 1: do real well this week. We start to feel better
Speaker 1: about them this week and I think Mark Sanchez early on,
Speaker 1: as long as we don't get that, I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be fine and they're gonna win. And thirty
Speaker 1: first downs, offensive points, twenty eight points total. Oh, I
Speaker 1: like him. This one, Amoroso is on the menu. What's
Speaker 1: in store for you? We've got a great show for
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. Chris McPherson joins me in studio. We've got
Speaker 1: crunch time with Fletcher Cox, defensive coordinator Bill Davids and
Speaker 1: I talk a little bit about Tampa Bay. We've got
Speaker 1: some key matchups for the Eagles and Tampa Bay. And
Speaker 1: my final word, my last word with Ted Willieve to
Speaker 1: sit down with Ted Williams, longtime coach. Here had some
Speaker 1: scouting reports on Ricky Waters, Carrell Buck culture, Charlie Garner,
Speaker 1: Douce Staley, Brian Westbrook, Lashawn McCoy and the last man.
Speaker 1: I had four hundred and that's part of the conversation
Speaker 1: as well. For Glenn mcnow, I'm Dave Spidero. We thank
Speaker 1: you for joining us on Eagles three sixty. Have yourselves
Speaker 1: a great Eagles day to make tomat
