Speaker 1: How appropriate is it that on this Thursday to open
Speaker 1: the training session on the practice field, the Eagles beginning
Speaker 1: with the song rock You Like a Hurricane Dave Spidero,
Speaker 1: Glenn mac now t goes three sixty. Do you like that?
Speaker 1: How's that for an open? A great sense? Yeah? Is
Speaker 1: there gonna be a hurricane on Sunday? Oh? I don't know, so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is gonna be a hurricane. Is it gonna be
Speaker 1: over DC or over the Atlantic? That I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna I think it's gonna to be affected
Speaker 1: by the weather one way or the other. So it
Speaker 1: could be a game for the mutters. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about a lot today, including Glenn Macnow's three
Speaker 1: bold predictions. He is on a role. He got all
Speaker 1: of one right last week. Dar Sproles was one and
Speaker 1: that and that they what was the other one? Special
Speaker 1: teams would make a huge play. This isn't that the
Speaker 1: same thing? Everyone was Sprowles would be involved early with
Speaker 1: the offense. She was, yes, and one was the special
Speaker 1: teams would make a big play. Did I stand correct
Speaker 1: to Glenn Macnow? Has it all going on with the
Speaker 1: Eagles in sight against the Washington Redskins go from one
Speaker 1: extreme to the other. But there's a lot going on
Speaker 1: of an overcare complex today, the Eagles preparing for a
Speaker 1: one o'clock kickoff on Sunday, and well, let's get you
Speaker 1: caught up with everything going on with his football team.
Speaker 1: Alex Smith with the latest our Eagles three sixty update.
Speaker 1: Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith, and this is your three
Speaker 1: sixty update. A rainy day here at the Novacare Complex
Speaker 1: as the Eagles continue to prepare for Sunday's game against Washington. Today,
Speaker 1: we heard from head coach Chip Kelly, linebacker Demiko Ryan's,
Speaker 1: and kicker Caleb Sturgis on how the weather may affect
Speaker 1: things on Sunday. Yeah, we talk about that. We're always scanning.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think every coach is watching the weather.
Speaker 1: We watch the weather more than anything. And there you're
Speaker 1: always trying to get updates and kind of see where
Speaker 1: you are. You're preparing for a window, You're preparing for rain.
Speaker 1: You know, part of it then becomes on game day.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to figure it out. I've kicked in
Speaker 1: a lot of wind before. We played again at Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: When I was in college. It was you know, a
Speaker 1: tropical storm had come through, and there's there's no real
Speaker 1: preparation for it until you're actually out there and see
Speaker 1: what it is. You never know what storms you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: I mean in the weather games I played, And of
Speaker 1: course you're gonna see a lot more runs, and of
Speaker 1: course guys have to check their cliques make sure they
Speaker 1: have their flitting correct before the game starts. But other
Speaker 1: than that is not that big a deal. We also
Speaker 1: heard from Eagles running back to Marco Murray, who spoke
Speaker 1: about how he was almost able to play last Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Jets, but since he wasn't able to go,
Speaker 1: he was very confident in the running backs behind him.
Speaker 1: I was a little close on. I just felt that
Speaker 1: it definitely wasn't quite right. You know. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to do anything, as you know, set myself back and
Speaker 1: hurt the team and kind of be selfish and try
Speaker 1: to go out there and definitely not be myself. And
Speaker 1: definitely there's Ryan and disposed and well, I'm definitely gonna
Speaker 1: cary the load, and I felt that they were better,
Speaker 1: you know, do that job last Sunday than that was
Speaker 1: one of the eagles biggest struggles to this point in
Speaker 1: the season has been the offense's inability to get the
Speaker 1: deep ball going. Today we heard from Kelly and Riley
Speaker 1: Cooper on how opposing defenses have been limiting the big plays. Now,
Speaker 1: I think it depends and I've said this since day one.
Speaker 1: How people defend you is how you your game will
Speaker 1: express itself. Two years ago, we set an NFL record
Speaker 1: for explosive players. We've never seen those coverages again. People
Speaker 1: play off in back of us. They've played off in
Speaker 1: back of us for the last two years. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean defenses are playing us a little bit different.
Speaker 1: You know, they're kind of been. But don't break, don't
Speaker 1: give up big plays, keep everything in front, you know, Atlanta.
Speaker 1: That's a really good example. And to hear the rest
Speaker 1: of today's locker room Sound, including the entire interviews from
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, Demiko Ryans, and others, and to see the
Speaker 1: entire injury report from today, be sure to keep it
Speaker 1: right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thanks so much, Alex.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of things in flux here, Glenn
Speaker 1: with injuries. So let's get you thought. DeMarco Murray, yes
Speaker 1: or knows as you play limited. Okay, Kiko Alonso in
Speaker 1: the big picture back in a month, and I think
Speaker 1: we'll still be very helpful to this team as it
Speaker 1: moves along. Okay, how about Michael Kendricks. Does he play Sunday?
Speaker 1: How effective is he? Do you need to rush him
Speaker 1: back there? Now? With Jordan Hicks playing so well, I
Speaker 1: think you want to get him back in again. One
Speaker 1: of the things that this defense does is they rotate
Speaker 1: guys in and out, so I think he'll get some plays,
Speaker 1: maybe fifteen twenty place. The impact of the loss of
Speaker 1: Andrew Gardner at who would say? Who would have thought
Speaker 1: we would ever save him? Matt Tobin expected to be
Speaker 1: the guy. Does that hurt the Eagles offensive line a
Speaker 1: little bit? I think they'll get by. I don't think
Speaker 1: Andrew Gardner was doing particularly well. I'm not gonna give
Speaker 1: you a big testimonial about Tobin, but I think they'll
Speaker 1: be able to get by. Darmes. See how many questions
Speaker 1: we have about the Eagles, Well, we're gonna answer a
Speaker 1: couple of them later on with some bold predictions from
Speaker 1: Glenn mac Now. The voice of the Philadelphia Eagles. Merrill
Speaker 1: Reese joins us in studio joins me in studio to
Speaker 1: talk about the Eagles, the offense and where this team goes.
Speaker 1: Can it get to two and two? But when we
Speaker 1: return to Eagles three sixty, we focus on the Washington
Speaker 1: Redskins Chris McPherson going behind enemy lines. Just how legit
Speaker 1: are the one and two Washington Redskins? With extra twenty
Speaker 1: checking from sant ANDERI you can get paid twenty dollars
Speaker 1: a month. Just direct deposit fifteen hundred dollars or more

Speaker 1: waiting for? I got tickets, Metro tickets? You need a
Speaker 1: metro tickets? Off to me? Please don't even real tickets.
Speaker 1: It all doesn't touch it. This leather legit. I mean,
Speaker 1: how do we really know? It looks good? Right? No,
Speaker 1: I'm paying myself. I gotta make Does the baby need
Speaker 1: a Metro ticket? I'll give her one on meat. These tickets,
Speaker 1: they're not stealing your soul. You can look at them. Man,

Speaker 1: love it. A wave of game day excitement is really
Speaker 1: into Duncan. Taste the new Tailgato Breakfast sandwich staffed with
Speaker 1: smoke sausage, fire roasty peppers and Onions. America runs on Duncan.
Speaker 1: We welcome you back to Eagles three sixty Dave SPIDERO
Speaker 1: glenmac Now. Time now to go behind enemy Lines. Chris
Speaker 1: McPherson with Andrew Walker from Redskins dot Com. Let's get
Speaker 1: the last on what's going on just outside the nation's capital.
Speaker 1: It's Behind Enemy Lines presented by Gatorade, and we welcome
Speaker 1: and Andrew Walker covers the team for Redskins dot Com.
Speaker 1: Andrew Kirk Cousins had a tremendous start last year when
Speaker 1: he faced the Philadelphia Eagles. He's the starting quarterback once
Speaker 1: again as the two teams prepare to battle at this
Speaker 1: weekend down at FedEx Field. What did Cousins do to
Speaker 1: impress the coaching staff and win the starting job outright
Speaker 1: from Robert Griffin the Third this offseason? Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: if you just look at the overall picture, you know,
Speaker 1: as well as the type of offense at Jageron wants
Speaker 1: to run, Kirk Cousins definitely gives the team, I think,
Speaker 1: at this point the best opportunity to have successment moving forward.
Speaker 1: And that's not to say Robert Griffin and Third can't
Speaker 1: do it. We all saw what he brought to the
Speaker 1: table in twenty twelve. He definitely has the tools need
Speaker 1: to be an NFL quarterback. But right now, I think
Speaker 1: what Cousins does very well that maybe the others don't,
Speaker 1: that maybe gives him a leg up. He's pretty good
Speaker 1: in the pocket and he can avoid those sacks. You know,
Speaker 1: think about it. Through three games, the Redskins have given
Speaker 1: up just four sacks, and that's against guys like Sue
Speaker 1: and Wake and Miami. You know, the six or seven
Speaker 1: really really talented guys up front for the Rams. So
Speaker 1: you know, part of that that is on an improved
Speaker 1: offensive line up front under Bill Callahan. But you've got
Speaker 1: to credit Cousins for his ability to escape, you know,
Speaker 1: the pressure and make plays. Andrew, We've talked with the
Speaker 1: Eels coaches this week and they said that Washington is
Speaker 1: really committed to the rushing attack. And there are two
Speaker 1: very good backs down there, and Alfred Morris and the
Speaker 1: rookie Matt Jones. How do you see Washington utilizing the
Speaker 1: two of them. Is Matt Jones the lead back at
Speaker 1: this point in your estimation? No, not quite yet. I
Speaker 1: mean you've all seen first off with Morris. You've all
Speaker 1: seen him plenty of time, so you know what he
Speaker 1: brings to the table. It's very patient, uses his blocks well,
Speaker 1: you know, very rarely does he go down for his contact.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that breakaway speed or home run capability
Speaker 1: per se, but you know, his determination as a runner
Speaker 1: has earned him two Pro Bowl appearances so far. So
Speaker 1: Matt Jones, you know, he's kind of that rare breed
Speaker 1: of size and speed six two two thirty one pounds.
Speaker 1: You know, he showed that speed against the Ramsey a
Speaker 1: thirty four yard touchdown run down the sideline. But he
Speaker 1: also likes being physical and if you watched Hard Knocks
Speaker 1: this year, as Jones who trucked the Texans cornerback Kevin
Speaker 1: Johnson and that started all the bad blood between the teams.
Speaker 1: Let some some fights the next day. But you know,
Speaker 1: Jay Gruen said recently that Alfred Morris remains a team's
Speaker 1: top dog at the running back running back position, but
Speaker 1: you should all certainly see Jones get his shots on
Speaker 1: Sunday as well. Andrew, from a receiving standpoint, with the
Speaker 1: Shawn Jackson limited due to the hamstring injury, Jordan Reed
Speaker 1: has been the go to guy in this offense. He's
Speaker 1: a guy with a lovetown, but who's been injured in
Speaker 1: his own right in the past. Why has Reid been
Speaker 1: able to stand out this year? In your estimation, Andrew, well,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people around saw Jordan Red
Speaker 1: emerging as one of the team's top receiving threats from
Speaker 1: the outset when he's drafted out of Florida a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. He turned a really good rookie year
Speaker 1: showed he can be an elite route runner and playmaker
Speaker 1: from a tight end position. But as you said, he's
Speaker 1: battled as injuries every single year, including this preseason. But
Speaker 1: having him on the field these three games has really
Speaker 1: been huge for the Redskins offense and for Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 1: especially with DeShawn Jackson out their deep threat. You know,
Speaker 1: I hate to sound like some Homer here, but you know,
Speaker 1: I truly believe Reid can eventually elevate his game enough
Speaker 1: to be one of the best tight ends as far
Speaker 1: as pass catching tight ends in the game. You know,
Speaker 1: a perennial Pro bowler and All Pro type guy. So
Speaker 1: you know, he's just got to stay healthy. You know,
Speaker 1: Deshaun Jackson, I know a lot of Eagles fans are
Speaker 1: wondering what his status is. He hasn't practiced since suffering
Speaker 1: that hamstring injury going deep early in that Week one
Speaker 1: game against the Dolphins. But you know, DeShawn, if he
Speaker 1: can play, if there's any chance that he can play,
Speaker 1: especially against the Eagles, you know he's going to try
Speaker 1: to do it. So we'll see what happens there, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles are staly gonna be prepared for it. Seety
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins saying that he expects Jackson play knowing how
Speaker 1: bad he wants to take it to his former team.
Speaker 1: Andrew Let's transition to the defensive side of the football.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a dichotomy here with the defensive line
Speaker 1: being very stout against run early on in the season,
Speaker 1: but the defensive backfield losing D'Angel Hall at least for
Speaker 1: the time being, going to be tested from a death standpoint.
Speaker 1: How do you see the Washington team trying to balance
Speaker 1: that out, knowing that they can do a good job
Speaker 1: stopping the run, but understanding they're going some challenges from
Speaker 1: the past defensive standpoint. Yeah, it's kind of weird because
Speaker 1: the Redskins really spent this offseason trying to make major
Speaker 1: improvements both along that defensive line and in the secondary.
Speaker 1: So far, the defensive line has been great, like you said,
Speaker 1: really stuff in that run, but the secondary's kind of
Speaker 1: battled its shriff injuries and consistencies. A couple guys have
Speaker 1: been suspended here and there. But Dehawk cornerback, he has
Speaker 1: a toe injury. You know how much those cornerbacks need
Speaker 1: those toes, So he's going to be out at least
Speaker 1: three weeks. You look at a guy like with shod
Speaker 1: Brelan and his second year to step up. He had
Speaker 1: a couple of tough plays against the Giants, as a
Speaker 1: lot of people do against Odell Beckham. But you know,
Speaker 1: the team just signed an undrafted rookie and Quentin Dunbar
Speaker 1: who they kept from rookie minicamp, who was converted to
Speaker 1: cornerback from wide receiver justice preseason to the active roster
Speaker 1: this week, So that kind of gives you an idea
Speaker 1: where they're at in their secondary. But yeah, the defensive
Speaker 1: line has been great. Jason Hatcher's playing a high level
Speaker 1: against Stephen Paia, Ricky, Jean Francois, Chris Baker, all doing
Speaker 1: great things. And then Terence Knight, and I told you
Speaker 1: guys about him, you know, a couple months ago. You
Speaker 1: guys all know all about him anyway, But you know,
Speaker 1: he's been great, a lot of taking on a lot
Speaker 1: of blockers and leading give him some big holes for
Speaker 1: those linebackers to make tackles and interesting matches there. Because
Speaker 1: of the fact the Eagles run game was able to
Speaker 1: finally get going last week against the Jets. However, the
Speaker 1: past game has not been able to take flight, So
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting interesting to see how the Eagles are
Speaker 1: trying to attack that this Sunday. Andrew Walker from Redskins

Speaker 1: I'll tell you more with my three bold predictions when
Speaker 1: we return on Eagles three sixty. Not ain't but a

Speaker 1: new instant game from the Pennsylvania Lottery. Players must be
Speaker 1: eighteen or older. Please play responsibly. We welcome you back
Speaker 1: at Eagles three sixty time Now drum roll please for
Speaker 1: Glenn mcnow's three bold predictions Eagles Redskins. All right, here
Speaker 1: you go. Number one, the Eagles will get a play
Speaker 1: this week from one of the otherwide receivers other than
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews. Now. I bombed last week on Nelson Agua,
Speaker 1: but I think this week either a Riley Cooper or
Speaker 1: Miles Austin half fifty plays is going to make a
Speaker 1: play and it's going to be a big part of
Speaker 1: the offense. Branford's got to find it big play touchdown
Speaker 1: or a forty yard game or something where you say, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I remember Riley Cooper. He plays for this team and
Speaker 1: he's going to be impactable one of those guys. All right,
Speaker 1: that's number one, all right, Number two, Pierre Garson is
Speaker 1: going to be everybody's fantasy football favorite this week. I
Speaker 1: always have to tell you something the other team is
Speaker 1: going to do. The Eagles have had a tough time
Speaker 1: with lead receivers this year. The league guy each time
Speaker 1: is average eight patches, one hundred and fifteen yards and
Speaker 1: one point three touchdowns. Well, Pierre Garson's not what it
Speaker 1: used to be. I don't think the Shawan Jackson is
Speaker 1: going to play at least that's the last I heard.
Speaker 1: So Garson own is gonna He's gonna shine him. Garson
Speaker 1: will be serving the Eagles defense rather than that. You
Speaker 1: just like, I think more than I think, Jordan Reid
Speaker 1: is more of a threat to the Eagles defense. Tight
Speaker 1: end athletic moves really well, the Eagles have done such
Speaker 1: a night. Remember all those years they're talked about this year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the tight ends of you know, the Eagles have for
Speaker 1: year has been struggling, and I just think Jordan Reid
Speaker 1: is more of a threat. I think Garson is a
Speaker 1: kind of body that Byron Maxwell can shut down. How
Speaker 1: about that for bold prediction? Byron Maxwell shuts down Pierre
Speaker 1: go So will write this downs bold prediction? All right,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Right here you go. Number three.
Speaker 1: This may not be as bold as you think, but
Speaker 1: I think that Ryan Matthews again is going to be
Speaker 1: the biggest part of the offense. He's gonna get the
Speaker 1: most carries. Particularly, It's going to be an ugly day there.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's going to have as much
Speaker 1: success against Washington as he did against the Jets. They
Speaker 1: are best in the league against the run, they were
Speaker 1: not impenetrable. He's gonna get a lot of carries, He's
Speaker 1: not going to clear a hundred yards. That means that
Speaker 1: the offense kind of is in the hands of Sam Bradford,
Speaker 1: and I think it's Sam Bradford's time to kind of
Speaker 1: show everybody that the offense deserves to be well there Ego.
Speaker 1: There are three of Glenn mcnow's bold predictions. Two more
Speaker 1: coming on the Kickoff Show, which airs on Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot Com on Sunday at twelve thirty. Speaking of Ryan Matthews,
Speaker 1: the game Plan Crew breaks him down in just a
Speaker 1: little bit. But up next in studio, the Voice of
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, Merrill Reese talking Eagles Redskins, specifically the
Speaker 1: Eagles and what kind of team is this? At one
Speaker 1: and two, We're coming right back my Jennings Power Reclining
Speaker 1: Sofa or power reclining Console Love seat only six nine each,
Speaker 1: recline with a touch of a button, Sucreme support with
Speaker 1: Bobo Peedick Memory Film seating your choice only six nine each,
Speaker 1: only at My Bob's This Town Furniture. What makes a
Speaker 1: Temple our meat stella, She's wise, fierce, and she's not alone.
Speaker 1: Temple University where owls call home. We are the Cherry
Speaker 1: and White. The city is our classroom, and we lead
Speaker 1: the rush hour, making our mark on every field around
Speaker 1: the world. The world without Temple, well, that's like the
Speaker 1: sky without the North Star. Temple never stopping. With extra
Speaker 1: twenty checking from sant and dari. You can get paid
Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month just direct deposit fifteen hulls or
Speaker 1: more and paid two bills a month with the online
Speaker 1: bill pay feature, then you can get paid twenty dollars
Speaker 1: a month. That's just the way it works. So what
Speaker 1: are you waiting for? Back to the NFC East. The
Speaker 1: Eagles go on Sunday at FedEx Field against the Washington Redskins.
Speaker 1: We welcome in the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles, the
Speaker 1: great Merril Reese. Well, let's start rate where we need
Speaker 1: to start the Eagles offense. How did Sam Bradford get
Speaker 1: it going against Washington? Well, he guess it going by
Speaker 1: first establishing a running game. I know that sounds very ordinary,
Speaker 1: very very conservative, but that's this running game, that's the offense.
Speaker 1: It is predicated on run first, and I think that's
Speaker 1: what happened last week and against the Jets. They got
Speaker 1: the running game going in the first half, but even
Speaker 1: with that, the Eagles offense really didn't get going in
Speaker 1: the pass game. So just assessed after three games Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford and then where does he go from? I think
Speaker 1: that Sam Bradford has not been the Sam Bradford we
Speaker 1: expected or the Sam Bradford that we're going to see.
Speaker 1: I think it's likely that he is feeling the rust
Speaker 1: of inactivity that came from several years of being injured
Speaker 1: and the fact that he did not get that much gamework.
Speaker 1: I think it was something like thirty two snaps in
Speaker 1: the preseason. I watched Sam Bradford every day at practice.
Speaker 1: I marvel at his arm strength, the great spiral he
Speaker 1: throws an all summer debut and I would watch practice
Speaker 1: together and we'd say, boy, is he accurate. He can
Speaker 1: throw the ball through any kind of small window. I
Speaker 1: still believe that that is the Sam Bradford that we
Speaker 1: are going to see. Hopefully it will be this Sunday
Speaker 1: at FedEx Field, but at some point this season he's
Speaker 1: just going to break loose and we'll see the Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford we expected. And Merril's Sunday would be a good
Speaker 1: time to start for the Eagles Against a Washington defense
Speaker 1: missing two of its top three cornerbacks, including dan Jett Hall.
Speaker 1: You would think if this would be a good matchup
Speaker 1: for these wide receivers. You would think so. On the
Speaker 1: other hand, keep in mind that they do have a
Speaker 1: very very solid run defense, so establishing the run is
Speaker 1: not going to be easy, and of course, once again
Speaker 1: it's an offensive line that has a new ingredient. I
Speaker 1: would imagine it's Matt Tobin at right guard replacing Andrew Gardner.
Speaker 1: So that's been a work in progress too. On the
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, Merrill, the Eagles defense has
Speaker 1: been really solid and at times suffocating. Last week against
Speaker 1: the Jets, four takeaways, good pressure on the quarterback, stopping
Speaker 1: the run game. Your view as kind of a group
Speaker 1: of the Eagles defense and what you maybe thought going
Speaker 1: into the season. You know, the funny thing about the defense,
Speaker 1: about the players who came here, We expected Byron Maxwell
Speaker 1: to be a guy who was going to do big things,
Speaker 1: and I still hope that's the case. You talk about
Speaker 1: the free agents who came here, DeMarco Murray, in Ryan
Speaker 1: Matthews and this one and that, all these names that
Speaker 1: raised our eyebrows. But the guy who, yeah, he had
Speaker 1: a press conference, but he kind of snuck in very
Speaker 1: very quietly and it was kind of a hohem signing
Speaker 1: was Walter Thurman. And he reminds me of the ball Hawk.
Speaker 1: He reminds me a little of a Sante Samuel in
Speaker 1: that he has a nose for the football. He is
Speaker 1: always around the ball. He makes things happen. He is
Speaker 1: a highly intelligent athlete and person too, and he has
Speaker 1: given this defense a big shot. Mary, You've seen young players,
Speaker 1: rookies come in and make an immediate impact, and then
Speaker 1: some of them they kind of fade away. Too early
Speaker 1: to tell on Jordan Hicks, do you have a feel
Speaker 1: for what it's not too early to tell. You go
Speaker 1: back to the drift and they came to the third
Speaker 1: round and we're thinking maybe another wide receiver, another safety,
Speaker 1: perhaps an offensive lineman, and they pick a linebacker, an
Speaker 1: inside linebacker, where they already had great depth. Ed Manowitz
Speaker 1: of the personnel chief said, the difference was so great
Speaker 1: on our board, Jordan Hicks was so much more highly
Speaker 1: rated than anybody else, we couldn't not pick him. And
Speaker 1: that turned out to be a very, very wise philosophy.
Speaker 1: And he's something he is. It's not too early to tell.
Speaker 1: He's instinctive, he's got great instincts, he's got physicality, he's
Speaker 1: a good football player, and he does not look like
Speaker 1: a rookie. Your thoughts, Maril. On Sunday at FedEx Field
Speaker 1: Eagles Redskins. How's the game go down? Well, hopefully it's
Speaker 1: it's not a hurricane. Hopefully it's just a little rain.
Speaker 1: And I have a good feeling about it. I think
Speaker 1: the Eagles are the better team, and I think the
Speaker 1: Eagles come back with a five hundred record. Wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be nice? Digging out of it? Owing to start coming
Speaker 1: back to Lincoln Financial Field, all squared away need this

Speaker 1: your way every Monday through Friday at five pm here
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com, Glenn and Studio on Tuesdays
Speaker 1: and Thursdays. Now it's time to focus in on a
Speaker 1: player who really emerged last week for the Eagles, Ryan Matthews.
Speaker 1: More than one hundred yards rushing. Good job in the
Speaker 1: pass game, caught a touchdown, pass our game planned crew
Speaker 1: breaking it all down like Grease and Mike Quick. The
Speaker 1: subject in that progress report is Ryan Matthews. All right,
Speaker 1: Mike Progress Reports brings us to Ryan Matthews. Big pick
Speaker 1: up this offseason, free agents from San Diego. Former first
Speaker 1: round draft pick, gives the Eagles their first one hundred
Speaker 1: yard rusher of the season. And what I like about
Speaker 1: the run game this week is that they got different looks,
Speaker 1: starting when an unbalanced line in the quarterback on the center,
Speaker 1: So you give the Jets a look that they haven't
Speaker 1: seen on film, and they do a great job of
Speaker 1: running away from the strength of the Jets defense well,
Speaker 1: and with that unbalanced book, they control the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: That's the first thing, there's really no mister Simons, and
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to get to their man. They control the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. But boy Matthews does the heck of
Speaker 1: a job of running with the football patient he gets
Speaker 1: in the lane, and then the power of running through
Speaker 1: arm tackles. That's one of the things that I really
Speaker 1: like about this guy. And I look at the way
Speaker 1: he finishes this play. Those little half backs, he just
Speaker 1: runs over him at the end of the play. Love
Speaker 1: that physical list that he brings to the game. Anytime
Speaker 1: running back, it's being for contacts. That's a positive in
Speaker 1: mob book. You watch him here, this player is gonna
Speaker 1: come here. But the matchup right here for Alan Barber. Listen,
Speaker 1: give credit to Leonard Williams here does a nice job
Speaker 1: of getting penetration. Here's what I like about Ryan Matthews.
Speaker 1: He's undeterred, puts his foot in the ground, does a
Speaker 1: great job of out running the defender here, and he's
Speaker 1: able to get past the line of scrimmage and get
Speaker 1: to the second level. You know, he goes lateral and
Speaker 1: then he, like you said, stick his foot in the ground,
Speaker 1: gets north south. But look at the blocks you got
Speaker 1: Kelsey doing a great job creating that lane to the inside,
Speaker 1: and you've got big Jason Peters on the outside. They
Speaker 1: are creating that alley and he gets it into the
Speaker 1: alley and he gets the ball to the second level.
Speaker 1: You had a nice job Ryan Matthews being decisive running downhill,
Speaker 1: running behind his shoulder pads. But this kid isn't just
Speaker 1: about running the football. You watch him here. Now, this
Speaker 1: player is normally designed for the little man Darrence rows right.
Speaker 1: So this linebacker is not anticipating this will route is coming,
Speaker 1: even though he has good leverage. The problem here is
Speaker 1: he makes a mistake of watching the quarterback. Ryan Matthews
Speaker 1: is going up the sideline. Great throw from Sam brad
Speaker 1: for here under pressure. This is what they call anticipation.
Speaker 1: You see the guy in his lap. That ball has
Speaker 1: already gone and Ryan Matthews all he has to do
Speaker 1: is tracking in the air. He's a great combination of
Speaker 1: speed and power. You see the speed displayed there running
Speaker 1: by that linebacker. But you also sold the power earlier
Speaker 1: with him running over people. I guess we shouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: This is a former first round draft pick and he's
Speaker 1: been across the water to a hawaile, so shouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised about the success He's have an album on the field,
Speaker 1: and more importantly, you used to look forward to a
Speaker 1: continuing as the season goes along. Here, well done guys,
Speaker 1: A Glen some final thoughts here. You think it will
Speaker 1: be an ugly game at FedEx Field just from a
Speaker 1: weather standpoint, Yeah, inevitably it's going to be an ugly
Speaker 1: game because of that. But I think it's a real
Speaker 1: opportunity for the Eagles get back to two and two,
Speaker 1: back to the even watermark, and move ahead toward winning
Speaker 1: this division. Cowboys aren't going to run away with everybody.
Speaker 1: This is the Eagles chance to get back and the
Speaker 1: offense making more will will we ever see the offense?
Speaker 1: Do you think that we saw or we thought we'd
Speaker 1: saw in preseason? Yeah, but I don't think this week.
Speaker 1: I think this week's going to be a lot like
Speaker 1: last week's Jets game. Maybe a balance of that first
Speaker 1: and second half. I think the Eagles will put up
Speaker 1: somewhere in the twenties. I think the Eagles defense will
Speaker 1: whole Washington somewhere in the teams. I think the Eagles
Speaker 1: can go after this Washington secondary and tear him apart. Well,
Speaker 1: I hope you're right there. No D'Angelo Hall's bum, He's
Speaker 1: just a guy. I think it's time for Nelson Egilore
Speaker 1: and Jordan Matthews and it's your boy Josh Huff and
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper. As you say, we'll make those big plays,
Speaker 1: we hope. So all right, what's ahead. Let's take a
Speaker 1: look at our Amorosos on the menu schedule here. Well,
Speaker 1: we're looking ahead to tomorrow and it's crunch time. Cornerback
Speaker 1: Nolan Carroll the subject in studio with Chris McPherson, Stats
Speaker 1: only with Alex Smith. Eagles in Washington, of course, and
Speaker 1: then our key matchups the Eagles and the Redskins, a
Speaker 1: very important NFC East game. All right, bring home a win.
Speaker 1: Two and two Saints in town. Maybe no breeze. It's
Speaker 1: a breeze, it's that easy. Well, we'd be nice to
Speaker 1: get to the two and two, All babies, I and
Speaker 1: two of this town was in panic at two and two.
Speaker 1: The hope returns anew and that's what the fingernails you
Speaker 1: can choose exactly. For Glen mcnow, Dave Spidero, we thank
Speaker 1: you for joining us here on eagles three sixty, have
Speaker 1: yourselves a great Eagles Day. Make Watta
