WEBVTT - Eagles 360: September 21 0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.000 Hello everyone, and welcome the Eagles three sixty dates. Spidero 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.680 Joe di camera here on this Wednesday. The Eagle's back 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.520 at work on the practice field after yesterday's day off, 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.040 looking straight ahead at the Pittsburgh Steelers the Battle of Pennsylvania. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.400 More importantly, Joe, we find out a lot about the 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.120 Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting, Dave. 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.600 It's been quite a start to the season, unexpected to 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.080 this level, obviously, with Carson Wentz's performance so far, really 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.280 playing some great football, the defense playing very well. This 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.319 is a game though, on Sunday, first off, short week, 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.159 so the Eagles gotta get right to it. Obviously they 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.480 are challenge with the you know, Monday night game out 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:56.720 in a Chicago and right back at here on coming 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.840 up on Sundays. You got a quick turnaround. But you 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.800 look at this and to me, this is about taking 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.640 a step off. You go from the Cleveland Browns week 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.119 one to a better team than Chicago Bears week two, 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.200 not that I think Chicago's really that good, but you know, 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.440 a better team than Cleveland, and now week three, way 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.400 the heck up the list in the NFL to one 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.160 of the best teams, so it's a heck of a challenge. 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.360 It'll be fun to see where the Eagles are. It'll 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.640 be fun to watch Carson Wentz again and opportunity for 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.600 three and L A couple of things to get you 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.400 caught up to here. Michael Kendricks out of practice on 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.760 Wednesday with that broken nose and Zach Ertz. Eagles tight 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.240 end in cornerback Leodis McKelvin remain questionable for the game 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.120 week to week is what head coach Doug Peterson has 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.720 said with their injury status. We've also got some things 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.600 going on in the Eagles locker room, so let's get 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.400 to it. Alex Smith our Eagles three sixty update on 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.000 this Wednesday, Higels fans, I'm Alex Smith here with your 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.960 three sixty update. Eagles back at the practice field today 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.480 as they get set for Sunday showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Today, 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.440 we heard from head coach Doug Peterson as well as 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.960 some of the players inside the locker room about how 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.760 this game against Big Ben and that high scoring Steelers 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.560 offense is a g PS game for the Eagles as 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.320 it will tell them exactly where they are three games 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.240 into the season. Oh yeah, I mean I think this 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.520 could be a statement game for US, um, you know, 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.280 a talented offense. Like there's a lot of matchups, um, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.200 you know, and uh, you know, I think we're all 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:16.920 for the challenge. Man. I mean, it's gonna let us 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.280 know what we really are, you know, Uh, because they 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.959 got some good, good receivers. You know, they got a 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:26.919 good back with Deadzo Williams and leading the quarterbacks who 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.400 is like they bloodline. They're always a good, solid team. 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:34.200 You know, there's not Roethlisberger has been the quarterback for 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.400 years now and they've they're always they're always good contenders. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.800 He's so smart and and uh it's fun to watch 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.360 him really and how he manages that that offense and 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.639 how he kind of commands uh that team and and 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.840 uh you know everybody rallies around him. And it's it's 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.840 one week at a time, you know, we're focus on 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.640 one player, one week at a time. And in last 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.320 week with Chicago Bears, now this week it's Pittsburgh. You know, 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.519 they had Jeffrey and Color that this week now we 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:05.359 have being Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown. And no Wednesday would 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.839 be complete without hearing from the Eagles quarterback himself. Earlier today, 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:13.320 Carson was asked about drawing comparisons to Ben Roethlisberger. Well, 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.080 first of all, to be compared to a guy like that, 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.320 that's pretty pretty impressive. You know, I got a long 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.239 way to go, that's first and foremost. But you know, 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.359 I've always admired the way he plays. Um. I love 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.000 how he can extend plays and improvise it, and you 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.200 know he's not afraid to chuck the ball deep in 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.079 and make some plays. So I definitely admire his game. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.760 You can catch all of Wenz's press conference from earlier today, 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.160 as well as all of our locker rooms sound right 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.880 here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the official Eagles 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.120 mobile app. Thanks so much, Alex, We've got a lot 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.960 to get to on the show today.

Doug, 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.840 Congratulations on the win on Monday Night Football. What was 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.880 the environment like for you? Great environment? You know, it's 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.280 it's it's Chicago's always one of my favorite cities to 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.080 to not only play in, but to visit. And I 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.120 had a lot of a lot of great history from 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.160 playing there, you know, with the Packers and and having 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.400 some great matchups. But um, great to take our football 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.640 team there against a good football team. Uh, and uh, 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.520 you know, to to play as as well as we 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.880 did it. We struggled early, you know, obviously offensively. I 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.440 thought defense kind of kept us kept us in the game, 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.080 and then we were able to make some plays in 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.320 the second half, and um, guys played well and we 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:26.960 were we were fortunate to come away with that win. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.200 When you are watching the Philadelphia Eagles defense, what is 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.320 standing out to you? I'll tell you that the one 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.800 of the biggest things is we're moving the quarterback off 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.040 of his off of his set points, and and um, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.080 we're we're we're we're we're tenacious off the ball. I 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.520 think we're you know, attacking the run game and and 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.280 you know, creating turnovers. I mean, that's that's that's the 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.840 biggest thing is is getting hands on the football and 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.400 and um, you know three last night, and and it's 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.520 just it's it's fun to watch our guys out there 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.640 and watch them play fast and aggressive and tenacious and 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.680 and get after quarterbacks and running backs. But at the 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.159 same time, you know, they're playing very very disciplined, very 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.280 uh discipline within the scheme of what what coach Schwartz 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.040 is teaching. And and it's fun to watch him. Nigel 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.560 brought him as a player who not a lot of 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.880 people talked about when Eagles signs him in free agencies. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.000 Seemed to have had two really good games, a lot 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.680 of tackles, big interception on Monday Night. Your thoughts on 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.960 his play, his play, it just shows up every week. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.480 He's a consistent player. He's a special team's player as well. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.200 And you know, comes to work every day, rolls asleep, 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.040 sleeves up, and and and puts in, puts in a 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.920 good day's work and solid obviously one of one of 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.520 the guys that has you know, um stepped up as 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.760 a leader of the football team, especially on defense. Been 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.000 really really pleased with how he's he's played the last 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.320 couple of weeks. Next up, it's Pittsburgh. They have everything 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.400 on offense, don't they. They do, they do. They got 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.120 a tremendous starts with their quarterback obviously, and and um, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.280 you know, good offensive line, runners, receivers. You know, we 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.280 all know about eighty four and and the plays he's 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.640 making over the last couple of seasons. And um, defensively, 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.040 it's a it's a bend but don't break defense. They've 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.000 got good, good personnel bill to stop the run. And um, 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:13.760 it's gonna be a good test for our football team. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.160 What do you want to see from your defense? And 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.480 that's what I mean, how I would imagine they they 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.800 want to say, Look, Cleveland's one thing, Chicago's another thing. 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.800 Pittsburgh's offense is at a tirely different level. This is 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.120 really a chance for us to make a statement. It is. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.080 It is and and you want to see obviously some 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.120 of the same things that we've we've done on the 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.959 first first couple of games. We gotta get after Ben. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.400 We can't just let him sit back there. He'll you know, 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.640 he'll pick anybody apart, doesn't it doesn't matter who you're playing. 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.360 And and then and then and then disrupt disrupt him. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:42.719 We got to tackle Ben if we can get a 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.160 chance to tackle him. And you know, offensively, it's um, 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.880 it's just gonna come down again to our execution again. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.200 Like I said, they don't do a ton on defense. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.199 It's not like a um, you know, mixing fronts and 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.719 personnel and all that. They keep it very simple. You know. 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.760 Coach Butler does a nice job there on defense, and um, 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.360 he allows his guys to play play hard and fast 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.920 and aggressive, and um, you know, we just have to 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.920 We got to protect the football like we've done the 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.040 first two games. If we can get our hands on 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.640 it defensively, we got to do that. And then you 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.319 know each week you you talk about special teams and 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.960 and uh uh, you know, at some point we got 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.680 to get us a nice return possibly for a touchdown. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.360 And UM and and and keep our um you know, 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.079 keep our third downs to to manageable third downs. I 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.079 thought we've been in too many long situations on third down. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.720 And UM we do that, then then you give yourselves 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.959 a chance to win the football game. You've got the 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:38.679 league highest number of UH time possession. UH you have 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:46.040 zero turnovers. Um, why why is this offense clicking? Well, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:48.760 you know, I just think it's it's it's things that 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:53.040 we've plays, we're running all the way back to OTAs, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.160 things that are familiar to the guys. Um. You know, 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.720 it's it's amazing that she had a young rookie quarterback 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.079 that's protecting the ball as well as he is. M 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.240 guys are working hard for him. Guys are making plays 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.959 down the field. You know, the ability to run the football, 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.760 Ryan Darren, ken Yon Wendell, these guys are are are 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.480 you know, one hundred yard as a group, one hundred 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.840 yard collectively rushing the ball each week, you know, thirty 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.440 nine minutes and thirty six minutes on the last two games. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.600 I mean, it's it's kind of unheard of. But um, 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.679 you know, part of that too, is is we've been 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.000 been able to overcome some either big third downs or 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.240 big fourth downs and stay on the football field and 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.319 and that obviously aids in the time of possession. And 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.080 then you know, the other thing is is we got 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.520 to score touchdowns and not field goals and we get 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.319 in the red zone. And you know, Monday night, we 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.840 kicked too many field goals in the first half when 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.280 we had chances for touchdowns. And we've got to clean 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.720 that up. People talk about Carson in these glowing terms. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.200 He is a rookie, though, so are there rookie things 0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.560 showing up when you're watching him playing these first two games? Uh, 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.640 there are there are um like get out of bounds 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.280 when you're scrambling and and don't take those extra hits. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.000 You know, those are things we talk about all the time. 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.320 He's you got to remember, you're not you're not in college. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.240 These guys hit and they're bigger, faster, stronger here at 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.440 this level. And and um so those are those are 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.439 some things that we need to continue to monitor and 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.040 and and and get those cleaned up with him. And 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.240 then just sometimes whereas whereas discipline of his eyes where 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.680 his eyes on certain progressions. But you know, other than 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.240 that there's not a he's doing a nice job in 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.360 the huddle. Um, you know, we've we've used a wristband 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.319 the last couple of weeks which helps in the speed 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:39.120 of of play calling for him. Yeah, we could have 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.679 you know, ninety plays possibly on the on the wristband, 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.719 you know, depending on the week. And um, it just 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:49.120 what does that do? Can you kind of explain the 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.760 mechanics of it? Well, it's it's a three panel you know, 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.960 it's a front and then with the velcrow it's got 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.120 two insides and and basically it's just um taking the 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.160 call sheet that I have and uh, run and pass. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.559 So it's not always an indicator that the wrist bands 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.640 a pass um and and just let him. It just 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.880 helps him call to play. Uh you know, we can 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.199 be very wordy in this offense. It allows him to 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.600 and really from my standpoint too as a play caller, 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.880 allows me to get the play in faster and then 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.600 he can just read it right off the wrist band 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.800 and it saves time at the line of scrimmage. So 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.640 it's been very helpful. It's really the first time I've 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.360 used a wrist band in my career. Um, I like 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.280 it and that's something will continue each week. Is two 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.360 games into the season now a time where you say, 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.880 maybe teams are looking for tendencies or is it it's 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.079 two games long enough where you established tendencies? And if so, 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.760 how do you guard against that? Yeah? Two games and 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.199 when when you have so many plays offensively that like 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.880 we've had in the last couple of weeks, it certain 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.559 things will begin to show up. And uh, you know, 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.040 now it's time to really self scout. And you know, 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.280 it's okay to run the same formations and personnel groupings 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.400 as long as you have different things off of that. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.559 And we've got to you know, offensively, we've got a 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.000 monitor and sort of police ourself that way and begin 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:11.439 to start not reinventing the offense, but putting guys in 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.360 different positions to run the same place. Last one, coach, 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.760 you've run four plays on fourth down? Are you a 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.679 riverboat gambler kind of guy? Is it? Is it an 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.280 individual at the moment decision? How do you approach fourth downs? 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.040 You know, I approach it as as where we are 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.640 in the field. You know, once you cross that fifty 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.880 yard line, you're getting that you're getting that area of 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.959 the long, long field goals, and we were fortunate we 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.640 got the fifty four yard or the other night, and 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.160 that was a great kick by by Kayleab. But you know, 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.280 other than that, you're in that that long field goal 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.640 range and you really if you miss it, now their 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.400 offense is starting up around midfield. If you make it 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.559 great on a field goal, if you punt it goes 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.920 in the end. There's some there's just too many variables 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.679 that could happen. And fourth and two, fourth and three, 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.599 fourth and fours give you a chance to stay on 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.520 the football field. Our guys have done an excellent job 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.400 of that. We did a you know, a fourth and 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.439 sixth the other night and late in the game, and 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.599 you know, fourth and goal at the one, and you know, 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.319 in those situations, it's it's to me, it's it's it's 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:10.880 like a no brainer. I think it also sends a 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.520 great message to your team that that I've got confidence 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.839 in them and and uh it, when you make them, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.520 it not only fires you up offensively, but but your 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.880 defense feeds off of that as well. Took Peterson, thanks 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.120 so much, good luck against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:34.840 at Lincoln Financial Field.

In a moment, we'll 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.280 take a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers, an undefeated team 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.520 coming to town on Sunday. But first let's take a 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:19.400 look at the Eagles upcoming schedule, presented by NFL Ticket 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:24.320 Exchange powered by Ticketmaster.

So after this game, Joe to buy week 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.120 for the Eagles, and then two games on the road 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.320 and two very winnable games all of a sudden when 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.200 you look at the schedule, yeah, beyond Pitts. But I mean, listen, 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:39.880 I think the Eagles obviously have a shot here versus 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.040 to Pittsburgh Steelers. But as we go inside the schedule, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.680 we know Pittsburgh's the real challenge up ahead. After that, 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.520 thing's open up well a little bit there for the 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.640 next two when you see the game at the Detroit 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.000 Lions a one and one squad and then obviously Washington 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:52.760 oh and two. So far, now we've got a lot 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:57.040 to talk about with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a very complete team. Joe, 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.800 let's begin on the offense, and Ben Roethlisberger's still doing it. 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.280 He's got the same agent as Carson Wentz, He's got 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.720 the same build as Carson Wentz. He's had a tremendous 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.000 career and spent a lot of time with Carson before 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.080 the draft. Carson Wentz on one side, Ben Roethlisberger on 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.240 the other. Yeah, well, you know, favorable to Ben Roethlisberger. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:18.880 I think at this stage, if you had to put 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:20.880 money down, you'd say this is the more short bet 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.119 right now. But Carson Wentz has played in a way 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.720 that has put himself in the conversation obviously amongst really 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.240 good quarterbacks right now in the NFL, which is very exciting. Look, 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.920 Roethlisberger is a big time QB. He's obviously going to 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.760 be a Hall of Famer. He holds almost every record 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.399 the Pittsburgh Sailors have, and of course they have a 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:39.200 four time Super Bowl champion in their history with Terry Bradshaw, 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.399 so that's saying something. Roethlisberger has been to three Super Bowls, 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.760 he's won two. He's been to numerous Pro Bowls, He's 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.160 thrown for over five hundred yards twice in his career, 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.480 strown for over four hundred yards in a game eight 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.960 times in his career. I mean, he's a tremendous player 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.920 in David, you know, I think when you look stylistically, 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.080 one of the things that's interesting about this matchup is 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.080 Carson Wentz brings a lot to the table and some 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.720 of its reminiscent of Big Ben, who really is I mean, 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.640 Cam Newton's the most physically strong player in the NFL 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.280 right now at that position, but Roethlisberger over the last 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.639 decade has been kind of the standard bearer of that. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.040 And how many plays have we seen he shakes free, 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.679 He's able to throw the ball down the field. He's 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.640 got a tremendous receiving corps. Yeah, it certainly does. Let's 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.440 talk about that now. Antonio Brown, who was held in 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.720 checked by the Bengals last week just four receptions, but 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.320 prior to that, feasted on the Washington Redskins. He's fast, 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.760 he's quick, he's shorthanded, he runs great routes, and the 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.680 Eagles will have to pay some extra attention to Antonio Brown. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.760 The problem is that when you do that, you give 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.639 Roethlisberger to Nance to throw to Sammy Coach to second 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.399 year player, They've got a weapon at tight end in Jones. 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.760 I mean, the Steelers are just a very well oiled 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.760 machine in the passing game, and the Eagle's coming on 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.800 with Jordan Matthews, but still not at that level where 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.240 Pittsburgh it's not nearly. I mean, Pittsburgh's pass an attack 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.920 is beyond dynamic. You mentioned Sammy coas, he had a 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.199 good game last week with the most rs he's ever 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.119 had in an NFL game. But but They're passing attack 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:04.000 obviously is rooted primarily in the Roethlisberger Tantonio Brown connection. 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.080 The challenge for the Eagles day of this weekend with 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.680 the defensive backs is huge against him, and as you mentioned, 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.280 then the other guys get involved. Now, no Heath Miller anymore, 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.760 of course he is no longer at the Pittsburgh Steelers, 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.159 but they can beach in a lot of ways. But 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.480 Big Ben to Brown the number one way. And we 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.359 also thought, you know, kind of in this summer when 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.560 we found out Levon Bell wouldn't play in this game, Hey, 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.560 the Eagles are getting a break. But hasn't been the 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.920 case because DeAngelo Williams. It looks like he's found the 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.200 fountain of youth. He's running the ball with great vigor. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.920 He's very quick, very powerful. Has done a terrific job 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.600 spearheading Pittsburgh's running game. And the Eagles have given up 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.359 some plays inside against the run. They're gonna have to 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.960 be very sure with their assignments, with their tackling and Joe, 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.879 this is all going to start up front for the Eagles, 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.240 as it always does. They're gonna have to dominate Pittsburgh 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.760 at the line of scrimmage in the run game and 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.320 then get after Ben Roethlisberger hopefully in some third and 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.200 long situations. Well, and the Eagles have the front four 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:56.800 and I think in many ways to front seven to 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:58.399 do that. You know. One of the things, and Dave 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.240 and I talked about this a few weeks back, because 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.800 you look at the Jim Johnson defense all those years 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.960 ago and how long standing the success was for the defense. 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:08.159 But it was never, really not always, not often, let 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.240 me put it this way, a defense that was dominant 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.240 with regard to yards. The Eagles would give up yards 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.480 to running backs. Davis. You know he'd give up you know, 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.440 they'd give up yards to obviously tight ends at time, 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.199 and that was a great frustration for many of us. 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.520
