Great job into 0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.400 the game. We put a dagger in their heart and 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.640 I stopped her. It's a team effort, though, you absolutely right. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.120 It's a team effort, right, a lot of individuals, but great. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.040 Guess what team effort. So proud of you guys. Wait 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.959 to battle. We put this one to bed and we 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.280 get ready for the next one. It's a new order, man. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.040 Every week we gotta go to work. Started with family, 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:39.760 Gonna finish on a family family one. Well you heard 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.440 it there from Merrill Reefs excitement Here with the Philadelphia 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.200 Eagles after Sunday thirty to seventeen, way over the Washington 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.720 Redskins to open the two thousand and seventeen season. Hello, everyone, 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.440 up dates, Fedario, Eagles and Stider along with the Hall 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.440 of Famer Brian Westbrook back for another year. Here on 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.320 Eagles three sixty and we're gonna break down the Eagles 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.880 win over the watching Redskins, Brian, And as usual, it 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.840 had a lot of twists, It had a lot of turns, 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.400 it had a lot of craziness. The most important thing 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.359 every single week is winning the game. And at the 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.280 end of the at the end of the game, clocks 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.919 hit zero. The Eagles had more points than the Redskins. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.639 That's the most important things. Certainly, a lot of things 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.240 that work on. Every season I played, there was never 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.720 one opening game that the coast said, you played a 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.880 perfect game. We have nothing to work on. The Eagles 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.280 have a lot of things that work on, but the 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.480 most important thing they did well was win. And they've 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.040 got some injury concerns. Ronald Darby, the Eagles cornerback, out 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.880 for a period of time here, perhaps with his ankle injury. 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.640 Caleb Sturgis placed kicker with a hip flexer that slowed 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.119 him on Sunday. But those are issues for the team 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.720 to deal with on Tuesday and beyond as they look 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.920 ahead to the Kansas City Chiefs. What we want to 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.880 do here is talk about the Redskins game, and there 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.360 were several things that stood out, Brian. I mean, before 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.560 we get into the offense, let's talk about some of 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.960 the stars of the game in your mind. Well, you 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.880 have to start off with the quarterback, and you want 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.800 to talk about him. He did a great job. But 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.320 when you look at this game, it was dominated by 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.560 the defense. The front four. They did a great job 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.160 of getting after Kirk Cousins. They did not allow him 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.880 to be feel comfortable all game long, and at the 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.040 end of the game it helped him out tremendously. You 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.880 have to look at the front four. Now we begin 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.920 with the offense. Let's talk about the Oh brought to 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.760 you by Golden Nugget where Philly gets engaged, and we 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.800 will start with the quarterback. Carson Wentz. Brian made one 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.880 of those plays early in the game that makes you go, WHOA, 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.280 what is this guy? Do we have Aaron Rodgers junior 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.200 in Philadelphia? Your breakdown of that play, we'll talk about 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.160 that in a bit here, but I mean just in general, 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.240 the presence that Carson Wentz has the pocket breaking down 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.000 around him. This kid has grown up in a hurry. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.400 There's not a lot of quarterbacks in the NFL, young 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.000 girl old that have the ability to see guys coming 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.320 from behind them, that have the ability to make sure 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.040 that he has his eyes downfield and then when it's 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.680 time to throw the ball downfield to be an accurate throw. 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.040 Carson Wentz showed some things this first game that he 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.400 didn't show all season long last year. He's able to 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.880 elude the rush, He's able to keep his eyes downfield 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.160 and complete the ball. That was impressive. Right. It was 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.039 clear that the Eagles wanted to come out and throw 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.640 the football. The running game really didn't get going, and 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.039 we can talk about that here. Three hundred and fifty 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.680 six yards eight of fourteen conversions on third down. Your 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.520 thoughts on the strategy against Washington, Well, you know, as 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.160 a running back, we always want to come out and 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.160 set the tone with the run game. That's the most 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.880 important thing. But I think Doug he's trying to play 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.800 to his strength. The strength of this offense is the quarterback. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.720 You go out there and you get all these wide 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.720 receivers in the off season. You want to make sure 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.800 that those guys get involved as well as have the 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.520 ball in your quarterback's hands. And I think that's what 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.560 he did. As the season goes on, the offensive line 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.200 is gonna have to do a little bit better job 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.080 in blocking the running backs are gonna have to be 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.440 able to break some arm tackles and run a little 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.880 bit harder, and that takes time. It takes time in 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.440 some continuity for the offensive line to play better and 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.960 the running backs to feel their way through some of 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.760 those holes. And while the wide receivers did get involved, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.360 we also have to really point to tight end Zach 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.080 Hurtwo came out of the shoot with eight catches, really 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.000 a key contributor in the offense. And then Nelson Agile 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.039 or what a start for Agilor the twenty fifteen first 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.200 round draft pick, at touchdown catch six receptions, Brian, it 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.680 looks like he has turned the corner. Well, it's good 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.840 to see Nelson just developed some confidence. It's good to 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.040 see him adjust to the ball, catch him with his 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.800 hands and then score. That's want to develop confidence in 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.720 a young man, and that's what you need out of 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.120 him when you move him into the slot. Now he's 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.240 able to use his route running ability to get open. 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.360 You saw him a countless times running very Chris route 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.920 getting open, finding the hole in the zone. That's what 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.840 you want to see from the young guy. Carson did 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.839 a great job of finding him as well. A couple 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.359 of key stats in this game that I'm looking forward 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.600 to monitoring all season. Red zone efficiency of Eagles one 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.360 of one when they were in the red zone. That's 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.200 good thing for a team that was twenty fourth in 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.200 the league last year. And then big plays twenty plus 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.599 yard plays, four of them for the Eagles after last 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.240 year's really kind of dinking attack. Well, they took some 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.120 shots down field and there was a couple of plays, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.560 even though including in the first play of the game 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.280 that they miss, there's some shots down field where you 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.720 see Tory Smith running right past Josh Norman, their best cornerback, 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.040 if you see Alshan running past some of their defenders. Now, 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.080 if you could connect on some of those plays, this 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.960 game isn't the same game. It changes the complexion of 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.600 the game. Nelson, all those guys, all the receivers and 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.360 the quarterback have to get together to take advantage of 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.320 some of those big shots down the field, because this 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.600 team could be effective in the short game. But if 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.520 you if you hit some of those bombs, it would 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.000 be much more effective and it opens things up as well. Right, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.720 those are some of the good things that happen. There 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.680 are some things that did not happen as well. I 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.800 mean it was a stuttering offense at times. What do 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.440 the Eagles need to get better as they look to 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.840 Kansas City? Hostile environment, attacking defense, Well, you're going to 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.880 see a defense that's going to be coming after you. 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.280 So first of all, I'm looking at the offensive line. 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.200 Can you dominate upfront? If you want to win, Andy 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.560 Todd us, if you want to win in the football game, 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.840 you have to win in the trenches. The offensive line 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:02.560 has to play a little bit better. They need to 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.040 be able to combo block up to the linebackers to 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.400 get this running game going. Our running backs need to 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.760 do a much better job of blitz recognition. They need 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.960 to know who their man is and get after their 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.880 guy and pick up the blitz. If they do some 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.880 of those things, the game will be a little bit 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.520 more smoother. I think getting the ball out of Carson's 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.080 hands quicker will also help the offense. Two touchdown drives, 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:24.960 some field goals, a big drive at the end of 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.240 the first half to take back the lead. A lot 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.000 of good things to work with, a lot of things 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.440 that need to be improved as we look to the 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.640 Kansas City Chiefs. We've got more to get to here 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.319 on Eagles three sixty. When we return, we'll take a 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.480 look at some of the big plays and Sunday's win 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.240 over Washington, and we'll break down the defense and don't 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.679 forget the special teams instrumental in the Week one win. 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.400 We'll be right back.

We welcome you back at 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.840 Eagles three sixty days Fidarry O'Brian Westbrook here talking about 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.600 the Eagles win on Sunday over the hated, dreaded NFC 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.679 East rival Washington Redskins. Where did they rank on your 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.200 list of teams? I don't like. Um, they're probably because 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.600 it's my hometown, so they're they're right at the top 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.040 foot me. I do not like the Redskins at all, 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.280 and I love going down there in Washington and finding 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:37.360 a way to get a win. It had been a 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.680 while Eagles and lost five straight to the Redskins prior 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.240 to Sunday. And one of the reasons they won the 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.400 big play back for the Eagles on the offensive side 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.520 and the defensive side. And with that in mind, let's 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.120 take our all twenty two review into our film room. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.400 Fran Duffy and Great co Sell. All right, Greg, well, 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.000 let's get things started here the way the Eagles got 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.480 things started. And when you have the opening drive on offense. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.559 The only thing you could ask for is to open 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.920 up with a touchdown, and they did just that. Carson 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.079 Wentz and Nelson aglare fifty eight yards. Let's take a 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.720 look at see what happened. Is played, It ended up 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.640 exactly the way they designed it, exactly exactly, exactly right. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.240 So what we have here is one of their staple 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.440 looks out of three wide receivers. It's a three by 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.520 one set, but right up there that's zach Ertz. They 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.760 use him a lot, as you know, Fran as the 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.560 single receiver to basically the short side of the field, 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.240 and then they've got three wide receivers down below, and 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.440 inside is Aglar, who's gonna end up catching the touchdown, 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.320 of course, but in this play he's not really part 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.760 of the progression at all. He's a clear player. Now 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.240 as we start this, the focus should be really on 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.600 wins and earths because that's who he's looking to get 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.559 the ball to, and if you freeze it right here, 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.800 that's where he wants to go. But that's Josh Norman. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.880 So really, Carson Wentz should have come off of this 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.160 much quicker than he did, because that's not the matchup 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.240 you were looking for in the three by one set, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.480 you were hoping maybe a safety or a linebacker might 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.880 be out on him, but that's Josh Norman. Yeah. And 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:01.559 so then when you have on the other side of 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.599 the field, and what we assume the second part of 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.520 his progression was, is you have Alshon Jeffrey coming here 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.559 on a shallow cross, Tory Smith running a little dig. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:11.920 You assume he's gonna work from right to left because, 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.240 as we said, Aglar, he's just clearing. He's running vertically 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.880 too clear, he's not part of this progression at all 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.840 at this point in time. So of course what happens 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.520 is the pressure now starts to work and WinCE again 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.319 he stayed too long, but now he starts moving around, 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.040 and now it becomes kind of a random improvisizational play. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.160 So if you freeze it here perfect Now what's happening 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.480 is he's clearly working WinCE that is to his left. 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.160 So now Aglar does absolutely the right thing, and we 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.960 talked about this when the play happened. He starts working 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.640 with WinCE. So what do you do. You work to 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.079 the same side of the field, and if there's no 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.720 one in front of you, you work deeper and that's 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.440 exactly what Nelson Aguilar does right here. And keep in mind, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.760 this is a big time throw. I mean he did 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.760 not have a chance really to totally turn and set 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.079 his feet to make this throw. So this was a 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.880 big time throw. Not the design of the play at all, 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.760 but WinCE In Agilard did an excellent job once the 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.800 play broke down. Yeah, one of those things that it 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.559 seems like it's a random play, but they practice those 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.360 scrambled drills all the time. Each player has assignments on 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.960 what they're supposed to do when the quarterback breaks the pocket. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.000 So Nelson uncovering exactly the way he showed up. It 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:22.560 was a good way to start for the Eagles offense. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.800 All right, thanks so much, guys. Let's talk about this 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:30.040 play from several different aspects. The mobility of a quarterback 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.360 who sticks five to forty it looks like Aaron Rodgers, 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.520 the way he's able to set his feet so quickly, 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.960 turn his shoulders and get the ball down the field. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.920 That's the good from the quarterback position. And of course 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.959 Nelson Aguilar's work. Coming back to football, well, when you 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.040 have a quarterback that's able to evade the rush, now 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.640 you open up so many other things for your office. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.679 Now you can get into be a scrambled drill. But 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.120 when you have the quarterback that says, listen, I just 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:55.880 needs you to block one guy. He just give me 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.280 a chance, like you have in Carson went that makes 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.679 the orcus a little bit more for best. And Carson 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.120 Wentz is the type of guy that can make a 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.800 guy miss, make two guys miss, and then still look 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.440 down the field and throw the ball accurately. That's important 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.240 for you winning football team. Big picture here though, Brian, 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.880 you don't want your quarterback getting hit. Carson took some hits. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.640 Washington blitzed the Eagles running backs here. Your evaluation of 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.440 the pass protection and the running backs in pass pro 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.040 well something that needs work. I mean a part of 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.000 the problem is you don't get a lot of time 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.400 in the preseason as far as game time to work 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.480 on these types of things. That's something that they're going 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.200 to have to work on this week coming into Kansas City. 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.280 They're going to pressure the quarterback. They're gonna make sure 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.120 that these running backs understand the blitz responsibility. Do Staley 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.480 and this offensive line They're going to need to get 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.280 get together and make sure that they know which linebacker 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.680 is responsible, the running back is responsible before. They have 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.600 to do that right now, because on some of these 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.280 plays that we saw against Washington, our running backs are 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.920 just missing the linebackers. They're not watching them all the 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.320 way on some of the delayed blitzes. And if they 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.840 don't do that against Kansas City, we're gonna get our 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.440 quarterback hit way too many times on the d defensive 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.320 side of the ball, a lot of pressure. Let's go 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.840 back to France and to Greg and talking about one 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.360 of the big plays early in the game, the big 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.520 man up front getting it done all right, next up Greg. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.400 All summer long, we saw more blitzes from Jim Schwartz 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.840 in this Eagles defense, and we were wondering, like everybody else, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.400 would we see more of it here in Week one 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.320 with the start of the regular season, and we got 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.160 to see it with the first big defensive play of 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.360 the day. Yeah, and I think you will see more 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.800 and more Blitzay. Hey, we even saw cover zero and 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.320 I believe it was the third down. But here they 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.760 come with what we call a mic star blitz. And 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.600 to give you an example of that, what we're talking 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.280 about is you really have the mic linebacker, and here 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.800 it's Bradham, I believe, and then you have Robinson outside 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.880 Patrick Robins, who's the slot corner, that's the star. So 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.360 it's a mic star blitz. And what happens here They're 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.120 gonna come, They're coming from the field, and the boundary 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.280 defensive end is Brandon Graham. He's going to drop out, 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.360 so it's really a five man rush. But they're overloading 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.600 one side of the offense. So what you get is 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.360 you get the blitz as we run this and we 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.120 can see Actlee all of that. Now, what happens here 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.280 because Graham leaves is you get a one on one 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.680 matchup right here. You get Fletcher Cox now on the 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.600 right tackle, and he surprises him a little bit because 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.000 the right tackle, Moses is expecting to block Graham. So 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.080 look what happened there is Cox got beyond him pretty 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.560 quickly and he's able to sack Cousins, forced the fumble, 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.360 and the Eagles recover the ball. One of the best 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.600 things about doing any kind of overload blitz, like what 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.720 you just saw with that Mike Starr, is you're gonna 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.840 get the offensive line sliding away. Yes, and in that situation, 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.040 you've got the offensive line sliding away from Fletcher Cox 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.200 for the blitz. That's what you want. Now you've got 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:36.840 Fletcher Cox in the one on one right and as 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.960 we saw, he was able to get his shoulder past 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.480 the right tackle. And you know the great thing about Cox, 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.000 he can play some defensive in and rest the quarterback. 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.840 And that's really what that ended up being. Yeah, we've 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.720 seen that going back to his college days. Fletcher Cox 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.880 getting a sack fumble on one of the first big 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.280 plays for the defense in the first half. Thanks very much, guys. 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.680 We will talk about the defense at length in the 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.560 next block here, Brian. That play right there demonstrates some 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.120 of the versatility that we see upfront, with Brandon Graham 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.680 dropping out of the play, Fletcher Cox looping on the outside. 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.639 You have guys that can play inside or outside. For 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.440 offense is confusing because you don't know is zachly where 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.560 these guys are coming from. Jim Schwartz has done a 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.920 great job of allowing his guys to play inside, outside 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.280 and be multiple because now offense they can't predict who's 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.359 coming who's not coming. You have to be on your 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.720 p's and que and a lot of time, offensive alignment, 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.120 get caught off guard? Exactly what happened with that? This place, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.679 that's it. Big plays, small plays, They all added up 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.320 to an Eagles win on Sunday at Washington. We've got 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.879 one more segment to go here on Eagles three sixty, 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.480 and when we return, we'll talk about the defense and 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:42.800 oh yeah, the special team's outstanding once again. This portion 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.280 of Eagles three sixty was presented by McDonald's.

Brian from Jim Schwartz blitzed a little bit. 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.399 We hadn't seen much of that, Brandon Graham inside and 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.159 the nickel dropping out in some zoom coverage, I mean 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.280 it was, and losing Ronald Darby in the process. What 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.920 a brilliant job. Jim Sworth did a great job of 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.840 never allowing Kirk Cousins to be comfortable in the pocket. 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.040 You saw so many times in the game where he 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.200 thought the ghosts were coming from one side. The blitz 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.480 came from the other side at some point. If you're 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.000 a defensive coordinator, you want him to see ghosts. You 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.840 saw him that last interception to Jaylen Mills. He caught 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.040 the football because and through the football to our team 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.320 because he thought the blitz was coming from somewhere else 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.520 and he still had time. Jim Sworth did a great 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.639 job of keeping him him off balance. He was never 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:50.359 comfortable in the pocket the entire game. Great job from 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.600 the defensive coordinator. In twenty sixteen and two wins over 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:56.480 the Eagles, Washington average one hundred and sixty eight and 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.399 a half yards rushing per game. On Sunday the sixty 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.440 four yards. What was the difference The dominant play of 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.480
