Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to the regular season, Eagles style.
Speaker 1: It's Eagles three to six on Eagles insider Dave Spiderow
Speaker 1: along with Glenn mac Now we're back together. We're not
Speaker 1: nice to see you, and fun season. We're here to
Speaker 1: get it all well, maybe a little bit right in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, I remember no errors. We were the ones
Speaker 1: making the errors and that era all right. So over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Glenn, a few things happened. You may have heard,
Speaker 1: Eagles making a trade that I don't think has ever
Speaker 1: happened in the history of the NFL, trading your starting
Speaker 1: quarterback eight days before the regular season begins. I'd like
Speaker 1: to get your take. Well, a stunner. You're absolutely right,
Speaker 1: because at this point you played your final preseason game.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows where the season is going, except it's not.
Speaker 1: I love it because you're moving ahead. The plan is
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the kid. If it wasn't this year,
Speaker 1: it was next year. You were between eras. Now you're
Speaker 1: moving into an era with some definition, and I like it.
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot of eras going on here.
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson begins his first year as the head coach
Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia Eagles in this regular season, and Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz takes over the reins as the starting quarterback beginning
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. We've got a lot to
Speaker 1: get to today as we set things up for the
Speaker 1: rest of this very busy week. But first things first,
Speaker 1: we want to get you caught up on the day's events,
Speaker 1: a busy day for the Eagles. We throw it out
Speaker 1: to Alex Smith, our Eagles at three sixty update. With
Speaker 1: the second pick in the two sixteen NFL Draft, the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles select Carson Wentz. I'm joined by the newest
Speaker 1: member of the Philadelphia Eagles by way of North Dakota State.
Speaker 1: Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith, and this is your three
Speaker 1: sixty update. Well, as you can see by that opening,
Speaker 1: it has been quite the turn of events to bring
Speaker 1: us to where we are right now, just a few
Speaker 1: days before the Eagles regular season opener against the Cleveland Browns,
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz leading the way as the Eagles starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: The biggest domino to fall came just this past weekend
Speaker 1: on Saturday, when the Eagles traded Sam Bradford to the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings in exchange for two draft picks, and afterwards
Speaker 1: we heard from Hallie Roseman who said that while this
Speaker 1: wasn't part of the plan to trade Bradford right now,
Speaker 1: it was still an opportunity to move the team forward
Speaker 1: in the right direction and he's very confident in Carson Wentz. Well.
Speaker 1: The only circumstance that change was this trade offer from
Speaker 1: the Vikings. You know, this m was not our blueprint.
Speaker 1: This was not part of the plan. But as we sit,
Speaker 1: we have to be flexible and we have to be
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of opportunities that give us an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get where we want to be. And our
Speaker 1: organization has had run a success at some point, but
Speaker 1: we're trying to get that trophy and to do that
Speaker 1: sometimes you got to do things like this that aren't
Speaker 1: so easy to do. A week before the season starts.
Speaker 1: So just about forty eight hours after the initial trade
Speaker 1: that sent Bradford two Minnesota, we heard from head coach
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson on Monday, who officially named Carson Wentz as
Speaker 1: the Eagle starting quarterback moving forward, with Chase Daniel serving
Speaker 1: as the number two. And while Carson Wentz, of course
Speaker 1: just a rookie, he's only played in one preseason game,
Speaker 1: but the Eagles head coach says that he's seen enough
Speaker 1: to make this choice. What he's done around this building,
Speaker 1: the plays he's made in practice in the one preseason
Speaker 1: games has given me a confidence that he can lead
Speaker 1: this football team, and I'm excited. As for Wentz, he
Speaker 1: addressed the members of the media for the first time
Speaker 1: as the Eagles starting quarterback on Monday as well, where
Speaker 1: he explained where he was when he got the news
Speaker 1: that he would be starting Week one against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: It's actually funny. I was actually laying in the middle
Speaker 1: of a cornfield hunting when that happened. So I got
Speaker 1: the call, and I was obviously very surprised, but instantly
Speaker 1: I was just really excited. So what started back in
Speaker 1: April when the Eagles moved up first from thirteen to
Speaker 1: eight and then from eight to two in order to
Speaker 1: select Carson Wentz out of North Dakota State, That momentum
Speaker 1: has carried all the way over to right now, just
Speaker 1: days before the season opener against Cleveland, where Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: will get the start, the first Eagles quarterback to start
Speaker 1: as a rookie since nineteen thirty nine. It's been quite
Speaker 1: a whirlwind, but fans are ready to see Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: in action. On Sunday afternoon with your three sixty update,
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Smith. Thanks so much, Alex. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot to get you here. On Eagles three sixty, head

Speaker 1: This one, that whole day bet harps to compete, electr
Speaker 1: LIFs to replentis we welcome you back to Eagles three sixty.
Speaker 1: Dave Spidero, Glenn mac now and before we talk about
Speaker 1: what's ahead, let's talk about the preseason. Some of the
Speaker 1: things that you saw that you believe Glenn will carry
Speaker 1: over into the regular season. Okay, and you're right. A
Speaker 1: lot of preseason doesn't. But this will. This is not
Speaker 1: your father's Wide nine. We lived with it once before
Speaker 1: in this town. We didn't like it. It wasn't very good.
Speaker 1: This one under Jim Schwartz, I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: great a couple of reasons. One is he's gonna be rotating.
Speaker 1: I think eleven guys in and out on that defensive line,
Speaker 1: and those quick changes are gonna give everybody a lot
Speaker 1: of energy. And Jim Schwartz really knows how to do.
Speaker 1: This is following Jim Washburn. Washburn right, and that did
Speaker 1: not work out. For a lot of reasons. But in
Speaker 1: fourteen years as a defensive coordinator or as a head coach,
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz's defenses have finished in the top ten in
Speaker 1: sacks nine times. He's put guys in the Pro Bowls
Speaker 1: nine separate years. This is going to be a great
Speaker 1: year for one thing Eagles fans love, which is the
Speaker 1: pass rush. It's gonna be a great pass I'm with
Speaker 1: you on that one. Number two. Number two, let's look
Speaker 1: at the offense, and this really would have been the same.
Speaker 1: I think if Bradford was the quarterback and carries over
Speaker 1: to Wentz, that guy sleeves, So here you go, the
Speaker 1: dink and dunk is back, and that's not really such
Speaker 1: a bad thing, I think at this point, unless Dariel
Speaker 1: Greenback emerges as a star. It's not an offensive high
Speaker 1: potency weapons. It's an offense of a lot of guys
Speaker 1: who can do certain things. So what you're gonna see
Speaker 1: is using multiple running backs. What you're gonna see is
Speaker 1: receivers going in and out, interesting patterns, things like that.
Speaker 1: But a lot of Dincon dunk down there. So you're
Speaker 1: saying an interesting offense something maybe we didn't see the
Speaker 1: last three years. All fast offense, at times explosive offense,
Speaker 1: a pace off nuts particularly interesting. All right, right, all right,
Speaker 1: number three, and here's this is gonna be I think
Speaker 1: one of the most fun things of the offense. You
Speaker 1: saw this in the preseason. The three tight ends set
Speaker 1: with Dorial Green Beckham as the fourth guy. That's a
Speaker 1: thousand pounds of receiver out there. It's gonna be great
Speaker 1: in the rushbloo, in the running block, blocking for the run.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna create real difficulties for a secondary
Speaker 1: trying to cover those guys. You have three tight ends
Speaker 1: who can play this year, you have a two hundred
Speaker 1: and forty five pound receiver. You take a few, give
Speaker 1: or take a few, right, And I think that that's
Speaker 1: gonna be an effective, fun offense to watch all year.
Speaker 1: And I think in the red zone Dorial greenback and
Speaker 1: will be a huge weapon for the Eagles. By the way,
Speaker 1: Cleveland does not have a cornerback taller than six feet,
Speaker 1: so something to watch out for on Sunday. Another one,
Speaker 1: all right, Number four, rookies are rookies, and I think
Speaker 1: with the exception of course, of car Wentz, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be difficult to see a lot of rookies contributing here.
Speaker 1: You I know, yeah, I think before the season's over,
Speaker 1: Isaac Sayamala will play. I think when Delle Smallwood will play,
Speaker 1: and I think Jalen Mills will play as well. I
Speaker 1: I get it that it's not starting with a lot
Speaker 1: of rookies, and you see you around the league. I mean,
Speaker 1: my goodness. The Cleveland Browns have sixteen rookies on their roster.
Speaker 1: Seattle has a similar number. The Eagles have some young
Speaker 1: players who will get some playing time. Carson is the headliner.
Speaker 1: But I think this rookie class will contribute. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to disagree with you. That's fine. I think the
Speaker 1: second year guys are going to be the key Hicks Aguilar,
Speaker 1: we hope, now Green Beckham, those guys are gonna be
Speaker 1: kind of big new contributors. Better better counting on Nelson
Speaker 1: Agil or something. We have not We have not talked
Speaker 1: about the wide receivers in depth. But of course it's
Speaker 1: only Tuesday, so we've got a lot to get to
Speaker 1: we do. Here's number five. The most undiscussed really good
Speaker 1: player on this team is Rodney McLeod. Eagle sign him
Speaker 1: as a free agent. Game a good contract, didn't come
Speaker 1: in with a big name. Hasn't been discussed a lot
Speaker 1: this offseason or this preseason, but I'm telling you he
Speaker 1: their safeties now are among the best in the league.
Speaker 1: This guy can hit, he can cover, he's a smart player.
Speaker 1: It's a name that hasn't come up a lot, but
Speaker 1: Rodney mcclapsmony is a real prime edition. I agree. And
Speaker 1: the Eagles safeties have been really just so interchangeable, really
Speaker 1: kind of a mess since two thousand and eight when
Speaker 1: who left town Brian Dawkins, who, by the way, is
Speaker 1: back upstairs. Yeah, working on all these So those are
Speaker 1: Glenn's five takeaways from the preseason. We'll see how they
Speaker 1: translate into this two and sixteen regular season. Now, when
Speaker 1: we return to Eagles three sixty, enough of us, I've
Speaker 1: got the head coach, Doug Peterson in studio. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the day's news about what's ahead for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and they've got Cleveland coming into town on Sunday. More
Speaker 1: to come on, Eagles three sixty. This portion of Eagles
Speaker 1: three sixty was presented by McDonald's Mix and Match Any
Speaker 1: two for just two dollars and fifty cents on McDonald's

Speaker 1: six piece chicken, McNuggets, or small fries. I'm loving it.
Speaker 1: Growing up, we had a basketball hoop in our driveway
Speaker 1: and that's all I used to play with. This past August,
Speaker 1: I happened to notice the pump on my foot, so
Speaker 1: my parents and I decided that we would go to
Speaker 1: Rothman at Jefferson. We found out from a biopsy that
Speaker 1: I had an osteosarcoma cancer. Scary, but the Rothaman doctors
Speaker 1: felt so confident in what they were going to do,
Speaker 1: and it couldn't have turned out any better. The Rothaman
Speaker 1: Institute Jefferson was able to get me back on the
Speaker 1: court and back to where I wanted to be. I
Speaker 1: sept to Philly. I sept the Philly, the bus, the trolley,

Speaker 1: Digga to the movies, to my Park, play Spring Garden,
Speaker 1: Late Night, West Philly, South Philly. Time Now for head
Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson. Our weekly interview with Doug Peterson, presented
Speaker 1: by WAWA. A coach, it's your week. It's time to
Speaker 1: get the season started. Let's start with a quarterback position
Speaker 1: you named Carson Wentz the starter on Monday. It's now
Speaker 1: the end of the day to day. What has happened
Speaker 1: between then and now? Not much? Uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: had to work out yesterday with the players, got him
Speaker 1: back out for their three day sort of mini vacation
Speaker 1: after the last preseason game, and and uh you know, um,
Speaker 1: you know, gave all the starters there there the reps
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the reps. Carson had one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of the reps with the ones, and and just
Speaker 1: got him back thinking football a little bit, a little
Speaker 1: bit of Cleveland prep yesterday. And players are off today
Speaker 1: and then and then we go to work on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: There are Tuesday's times when some players get into the
Speaker 1: film room and take a look at things. We had
Speaker 1: a we had a few guys in today, Carson and
Speaker 1: a Chase. We're in here and looking at some tape,
Speaker 1: some of the offensive linemen and and it is a
Speaker 1: good time for them to get in. It's quiet, and
Speaker 1: usually they get a chance to start watching. There's not
Speaker 1: a ton of film. I mean, you know, Ray Horton,
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator obviously with Cleveland. He's been with Cleveland before,
Speaker 1: he's been with Tennessee most recently. So there are some
Speaker 1: games you can go watch and just get a get
Speaker 1: a feel for how he uh, you know, at tax offenses.
Speaker 1: What do you expect from Carson on Sunday, just in
Speaker 1: terms of his composure and his ability to kind of
Speaker 1: nerves to the side. Yeah, you know, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: nervous early. I mean that just goes without saying. Rookie quarterback,
Speaker 1: first time starter, he'll be He'll be nervous. But one
Speaker 1: thing that that I've got to do a good job
Speaker 1: and offensive coaches Frank and De Filippo, and we just
Speaker 1: gotta make sure that he stays calm and that we
Speaker 1: give him. We give him plays that he knows and
Speaker 1: he understands early in this football game that he can execute.
Speaker 1: And then once we settle into the game, see how
Speaker 1: they're going to attack us, then then we can go
Speaker 1: from there with him and kind of open things up.
Speaker 1: But you know, I just want him to be efficient.
Speaker 1: I want him to protect the football. I want him
Speaker 1: to protect himself early. I think it's important that we
Speaker 1: protect him from a protection standpoint so that he's not
Speaker 1: getting hit early and that can affect his eyes, you know,
Speaker 1: down the field from from reads and things like that
Speaker 1: progressions with the passing game. So if we can do
Speaker 1: that early in this football game and then get him
Speaker 1: a couple of completions early settle them in, then we've
Speaker 1: begin to open things up. Doug, you mentioned Ray Horton,
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Browns, veteran guy. What do you
Speaker 1: expect him to try to do to take advantage of
Speaker 1: Carson's inexperience. Yeah, one thing that that obviously if you
Speaker 1: you know Cleveland has done this offseason, They've they've gone
Speaker 1: a little bit younger um and and so they've they've
Speaker 1: got some rookie players that are that are playing quite
Speaker 1: a bit first time starters as well on defense, and
Speaker 1: and so you kind of think he's going to keep
Speaker 1: it simple, but you look at preseason games and he's
Speaker 1: still he's still attacking with with pressures, he's bringing corners
Speaker 1: off the edge, he's bringing both linebackers. He's doing things
Speaker 1: that he typically does and that's his Zamo. He's a
Speaker 1: he's a huge single safety middle guy zone and man,
Speaker 1: UM would expect him to make you know, and and
Speaker 1: and put five man pressures against Carson, try to even
Speaker 1: keep him in the pocket, you know, not escape the pocket.
Speaker 1: Because you you saw what he did against Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: with some of the scrambles that he that he was
Speaker 1: able to do. So you know, from that standpoint, he
Speaker 1: may he may try to get after him that way,
Speaker 1: Um affect him with the pressure, Um. But but at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, he's a single safety middle
Speaker 1: guy and he just lets his guys play. I know
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of time gone by here, but
Speaker 1: how do you see the locker room reacting with the
Speaker 1: trade of Sam and with the promotion of carsoners starter?
Speaker 1: How have guys reacted well? The guys have acted reacted
Speaker 1: well and very positive. And it's something that we saw
Speaker 1: not only during OTAs but also during training camp. Uh,
Speaker 1: some of the comments the guys were making about Carston
Speaker 1: and the respect that they have and they really feel
Speaker 1: like he can be a good quarterback in the National
Speaker 1: Football League and and and so you know, we'll see
Speaker 1: each day now, each day that goes by the progression
Speaker 1: that that he has in the leadership style that he
Speaker 1: has with the team, and you're gonna see I think
Speaker 1: the guys are gonna see that that he embraces that
Speaker 1: and it's not too big for him. And and and
Speaker 1: by the time we get to Sunday, Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: all the pieces, all the all the boxes have been
Speaker 1: checked with him, and the rest of the team feels
Speaker 1: good about you know, him being him, being the guy
Speaker 1: and the fact that he can he can lead this
Speaker 1: football team. Let's talk about the Cleveland Browns. What have
Speaker 1: you seen from RG three, their quarterback? We've seen him
Speaker 1: in Washington for years obviously, what do you look like
Speaker 1: in preseason? He's looked well, He's looked good, you know, really,
Speaker 1: he's played well. Um, he's made some some nice throws.
Speaker 1: You know, you've seen some some of the deep throws
Speaker 1: that he's made. You know. One of the things that
Speaker 1: he can he can do and will do, is he
Speaker 1: can run. Uh. That's that's something that uh uh you
Speaker 1: know with with his style. And the other thing you're
Speaker 1: seeing with with Hugh Jackson as the fact that you know,
Speaker 1: he's taking some of that Cincinnati stuff and he's spreading
Speaker 1: those spreading the field out. He's trying to get those
Speaker 1: misdirections sort of catch you off balance type plays with tackles,
Speaker 1: you know, moving moving out to the numbers and things
Speaker 1: like that. So you know he's he's definitely uh brought
Speaker 1: some of that with him, um and and then just
Speaker 1: allowing him to be an athlete and play and and
Speaker 1: but but again he's a guy that you got to
Speaker 1: keep in the pocket. You gotta understand his athleticism. Uh,
Speaker 1: you kind of want him to try to make him
Speaker 1: throw the ball just a little bit. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, if you can hit the quarterback, uh, we
Speaker 1: want to hit theres and not them hitting ours. So
Speaker 1: many crazy things seem to happen week one, week two
Speaker 1: of the regular season. What why do you think that is? Well,
Speaker 1: I think I think because there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: film you know, offenses and defenses or so vanilla and
Speaker 1: training camp. Not everybody plays, you know, all the time.
Speaker 1: And now you really begin to kind of dive into
Speaker 1: your playbook the things you've really worked on in training
Speaker 1: camp and open things up a little bit. So there
Speaker 1: you know, one thing you got to guard against is
Speaker 1: you got to guard against the trick plays early, you know,
Speaker 1: and especially in the regular season, because those are things
Speaker 1: that can kind of sneak up on you because they're
Speaker 1: not going to show them in training camp, and and
Speaker 1: so you guard against those, You keep you keep the
Speaker 1: game very manageable early on, and then and then as
Speaker 1: as it begins to unfold, that's when things, you know,
Speaker 1: you dial up blitzes, you dial up shots offensively, and
Speaker 1: you kind of get into your game plan a little
Speaker 1: bit more. You've been with this team on the field
Speaker 1: since April through preseason to training camp. Ohta's back up.
Speaker 1: What do you think you have going into the open?
Speaker 1: What is this team all about? Well? Number one, we've
Speaker 1: got an aggressive football team, so I both both offensively
Speaker 1: and defensively, and it really starts with the offense and
Speaker 1: defensive line. And one thing we've seen on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball is how well we've played up front,
Speaker 1: you know, defensive line, how we're coming off the ball.
Speaker 1: We're putting pressure with four guys and maybe a fifth
Speaker 1: guy off the edge. UM, you know, we're seeing we're
Speaker 1: seeing the ability to throw the ball down the field
Speaker 1: with great protection. UM. Our run game has been has
Speaker 1: been been effective. You know, we haven't done a ton
Speaker 1: of running, but at the same time, it's been effective
Speaker 1: when we have and so you know, I just want
Speaker 1: to continue that. I want to continue that aggression. That's
Speaker 1: something that that we we preached or I preached, you know,
Speaker 1: even back in OTAs is we want to have that
Speaker 1: attack mentality. And then that's something that's coming out of
Speaker 1: training camp. I felt pretty good that that that's where
Speaker 1: we are and that's the direction in which we're going. Doug,
Speaker 1: you know the fan base here, you know that they
Speaker 1: want you to win this game. So you're talking to them.
Speaker 1: What do you want from the fans on Sunday? Oh?
Speaker 1: I want to have them, you know, I want them
Speaker 1: out of their minds. I want to I want to
Speaker 1: pack stadium. It's gonna be a great day on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You know, be loud, be noisy, you know, be quiet
Speaker 1: when the offense is on the field, be loud when
Speaker 1: the defense is on the field. You know, and support
Speaker 1: their football team. I mean, this is this is a

Speaker 1: Welcome back at the Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero, glenmac Now,
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins are the defending NFC's champions. Are they
Speaker 1: the team to beat in twenty and sixteen? I say yes,
Speaker 1: I say yes yes, although in this division it's not
Speaker 1: gonna take much to beat them. It's quite division. Glenn. Yeah,
Speaker 1: last we kind of laughed our way through mediocrity five
Speaker 1: hundred teams. But at the end of the season, the
Speaker 1: Redskins really came on. They had a strong offseason. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the Washington Redskins first and the strength of
Speaker 1: that football team, beginning with Kirk Cousins at quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did very well down this stretch. I'm still not
Speaker 1: entirely sold Dave that this is who he is, because
Speaker 1: before that he was the guy who was so turnover prone.
Speaker 1: He hadn't shown me that much. He finished very strong
Speaker 1: with the last six seven games, and that is impressive
Speaker 1: and that counts, and he gets to the playoffs, but
Speaker 1: I don't know that he can carry it on. I
Speaker 1: like their wide receiving set a lot. I think the
Speaker 1: running game is fairly mediocre, and I think they're were
Speaker 1: they nine and seven last year. And then the defense
Speaker 1: gets defense gets a big boost from the largemouth cornerback
Speaker 1: Josh Norman, who got the big contract and have to
Speaker 1: live up that reputation of being one of the best
Speaker 1: in the business. He does. And you and I have
Speaker 1: seen specifically, big name cornerbacks go from one franchise to another,
Speaker 1: and it's happened more than just here, but it does
Speaker 1: happen sometime. I'm not saying he's a product of the system,
Speaker 1: but he might be better in the Carolina system than Washingtons.
Speaker 1: We'll see, okay, so we'll get a sense of the Redskins.
Speaker 1: We'll also get a sense on Sunday of just where
Speaker 1: Dallas is with its rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, and where
Speaker 1: the Giants are with their new quarter with their new coach,
Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo. Those two teams meet first to Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Prescott had a tremendous preseason working You're not impressed? Oh
Speaker 1: please is he in? Can't yet tell me? Have they
Speaker 1: is in the program? He went? I know he went
Speaker 1: seventeen for twenty three in Game three. He also threw
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifteen yards, which is five yards
Speaker 1: an attempt. He dumped it off to the tight ends.
Speaker 1: You're playing in a non scheme offense against vanilla defenses
Speaker 1: that haven't done anything. Let's take it into the regular season.
Speaker 1: Let's see when teams are throwing blitzes at him and
Speaker 1: so on before we annoint this guy to be anything special.
Speaker 1: So got Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield, Dez Bryant and
Speaker 1: Jason Witten to throw to, going against Steve Spagnolo and
Speaker 1: the rebuilt New York Giants defense, which I am going
Speaker 1: to label as my early season candidate to be a
Speaker 1: big fat dud. In two and sixteen, we have seen,
Speaker 1: as Glenn said, all of these free agents moving from
Speaker 1: one team to another. It's just really hard to assimilate
Speaker 1: into a new scheme. Steve Spagnolo has been pretty much
Speaker 1: a lousy defensive coordinator since the Giant Super Bowl days,
Speaker 1: and even with the additions of Genora's Jenkins and Olivier Vernon, etc.
Speaker 1: Apple Eli Apple in the draft, I just don't buy
Speaker 1: into Steve Spags as a defensive coordinator. Well, they got
Speaker 1: a long way to go. They had the worst defense
Speaker 1: in the league last year. So if they've improved a
Speaker 1: little bit there, twenty eighth in the league, they're not
Speaker 1: going to go from thirty second to the top ten.
Speaker 1: They're not going to do that at all. Manning had
Speaker 1: a very good year last year through the most touchdowns
Speaker 1: in his career. Beckham is a great weapon. Their second
Speaker 1: round pick Shepherd is a weapon too. Not much of
Speaker 1: a running game, and their offensive line is looked terrible
Speaker 1: in the preseason. That could be the killer for them.
Speaker 1: So once again we enter this season feeling like the
Speaker 1: NFC East is up for grabs and the Eagles have
Speaker 1: all these tall guys to go up. I'll put you
Speaker 1: this way, nobody's winning double digits in this division. I
Speaker 1: don't think nobody. You got it all right, You got okay,
Speaker 1: all right? So that's our Well, way too early. Look
Speaker 1: at the NFC East. We've got more to get to
Speaker 1: here on Eagles three sixty. When we return, we set
Speaker 1: it up for the rest of the week. Our Amrosso's

Speaker 1: Papa John's Dave Spinnarow, Glenn mcnell, It's Eagles three sixty week.
Speaker 1: Come your way each and every day, Monday through Friday
Speaker 1: during this Eagle's twenty and sixteen regular season, and because
Speaker 1: I'm the optimist, through the postseason. All right. So it's
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's first game as the head coach in the
Speaker 1: regular season, Glenn, what do you want to see from him? Thursday?
Speaker 1: I'll ask you about the quarterback. But I think let's
Speaker 1: not lose fact here that this is the beginning of
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson era. It is. And hear what I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, since he is a disciple of Andy Reid,
Speaker 1: and we've seen the good and the bad of Andy.
Speaker 1: What I want is the good of Andy, which is
Speaker 1: really good game plan. I always thought that Andy could
Speaker 1: scheme it very well, and this is more long term.
Speaker 1: Andy very good relations with his players. But I want
Speaker 1: to see a good, solid game plan in game one.
Speaker 1: What do I not want to see from him? And
Speaker 1: we didn't see this much during the preseason, so I
Speaker 1: was encouraged. Hero right. I don't want those bad timeouts.
Speaker 1: I don't want the delay of the delay of game penalties,
Speaker 1: those kind of things, and if forced to think on
Speaker 1: his feet, I want to see Doug Peterson do that,
Speaker 1: maybe a little better than Andy did. Okay, now there
Speaker 1: is a rookie quarterback, so you may have to make
Speaker 1: sure you've got the communication going. But we'll talk about
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz on Thursday when you're back in studio. What's
Speaker 1: to a head here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com for you, Well,
Speaker 1: we've got to look at the Cleveland Browns tomorrow when
Speaker 1: Joe Dicamera is in. It's our first look, our first
Speaker 1: take of the Cleveland Browns. Doug Peterson has his press conference,
Speaker 1: Marylyn Mike, the radio guys doing a little old school
Speaker 1: all twenty two talking about the Eagles and the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: Here and Carson Wentz meets the media. We are all
Speaker 1: hanging on every word from the young guy who's throwing
Speaker 1: twenty four passes in the preseason and is now the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Glendi, do you ever think it would come
Speaker 1: to this? No, it's not three days ago, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it's the right move. It's it's a surprise.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody planned it. Teddy Bridgewater's misfortune changed everything.
Speaker 1: And Howie Roseman really knew knows a good deal when
Speaker 1: he gets one, and the Vikings made an offer that
Speaker 1: he couldn't refuse, so he didn't could be a good
Speaker 1: deal for them too. All right, thanks for coming into
Speaker 1: the pleasure. Great job, Glennie back now, Dave Spiaro, thanks
Speaker 1: for joining us. It's Eagles three sixty. Have yourselves a
Speaker 1: great Eagles Day.
