Speaker 1: Welcome to Eagle three sixty Dave Spedero, Joe di camera.
Speaker 1: We've got a whale of a show for you, head coach,
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly and studio. We break down just a little
Speaker 1: bit the New Orleans Saints matchup Joe, and we'll have
Speaker 1: a cover Tuo segment coming up next. Joe, some quick
Speaker 1: thoughts on you on what are your big concerns with
Speaker 1: this one and three Eagles team and how do you
Speaker 1: fix it? Well, biggest concerns are one and three, but
Speaker 1: they you know, they got to win more games and
Speaker 1: we know that. Let's go inside the team. The offensive
Speaker 1: line continues to be an issue. They've got to improve there.
Speaker 1: I think Chip from a scheme standpoint, can help them,
Speaker 1: but obviously from a talent standpoint, particularly inside, there are
Speaker 1: issues there that are going to persist unless they play
Speaker 1: better football. Also, the injuries are now a real concern.
Speaker 1: You look across the roster, both offensively and defensively. Dave,
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of injuries from players that
Speaker 1: are already out, with Andrew Gardner and Cody Parkey out
Speaker 1: for the year to now, Byron Maxwell, Keiko Alonzo, Michael
Speaker 1: Kendricks has been hampered as we know. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a long line of injuries. Lane Johnson now with a
Speaker 1: serious injury, will say serious injury, but an injury that
Speaker 1: is a problem. So there's just a lot of factors
Speaker 1: going on here that really are concerned Dave. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles must find a way to despite all of that.
Speaker 1: There are no excuses here at the novicare complex, but
Speaker 1: as Joe said, there are some injuries. The update, there's
Speaker 1: some news to catch up on, and we're gonna do
Speaker 1: that right now. It's our Eagles three sixty update with
Speaker 1: Alex Smith out on the training field. Hi everyone, I'm
Speaker 1: Alex Smith with your three sixty update. The Eagles defense
Speaker 1: will face another tough task this weekend with Drew Brees
Speaker 1: and the New Orleans Saints. Today, we heard from Eagles
Speaker 1: head coach Chip Kelly, Demiko Ryans, and Fletcher Cox on
Speaker 1: what it is that makes Breeze such a great quarterback.
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's the impacts he's had, not
Speaker 1: only in this league, but you know, in terms of
Speaker 1: what he's done, He's won them a super Bowl. He's
Speaker 1: he's he's really he's a Hall of Fame quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it makes it tough because Drew is such a great player,
Speaker 1: smart player when when you can change the plays at
Speaker 1: the line, he always gets his offense and favorable plays.
Speaker 1: So no matter what defense we present to him, he
Speaker 1: always has a check to get them in another play
Speaker 1: or a better play. Just everybody getting in there in
Speaker 1: the stand the Russian nine to stand his face and
Speaker 1: win his face the whole game. I don't think you
Speaker 1: have those door lanes, you know, if you're rushing around
Speaker 1: him and you know, on different level, and he had
Speaker 1: that step up and obviously can see and you know,
Speaker 1: make them make their brows down the field. Meanwhile, the
Speaker 1: Stains Receiving Corps features a number of standout players like
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and Marcus Colston. We heard from Nolan Carroll
Speaker 1: on what it will take from the defensive backs to
Speaker 1: slow down the receivers. And we also heard from Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews on now he has mimicked Colston's play. Just get
Speaker 1: hands on the line with him. You know, we got
Speaker 1: to compete with him every single snap another. Like you said,
Speaker 1: they got a good receiving group. Jabreese finds those guys
Speaker 1: you know here they're basically a receiver. By Black Committee,
Speaker 1: you know, not one guy has a certain amount of catches,
Speaker 1: but you know they all getting distributed evenly among all
Speaker 1: of them, you know, so we just gotta be on
Speaker 1: our toes and get them at the line. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: I studied Marcus streaming streaming line when I was in college.
Speaker 1: Actually watched their whole season the year they went to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and watched them tire season and just
Speaker 1: studied marking how he got opening the slide, what he
Speaker 1: was great at, you know, and just those seen balls
Speaker 1: going down in the middle and catching the verse cover
Speaker 1: two with a drop back linebacker, like he's specialized in that.
Speaker 1: So and he's just a guy who's always reliable. So
Speaker 1: I've loved watching him. I think he's a great receiver.
Speaker 1: And finally we heard from quarterback Sam Bradford who spoke
Speaker 1: about getting more familiar in this Eagle system as he
Speaker 1: prepares for his fifth regular season game. You know, just
Speaker 1: the offense in general, I think, you know, the timing
Speaker 1: of different things. Um, you know, obviously, you know, you
Speaker 1: go through training camp and it's kind of your base
Speaker 1: offense based package, and then you get into game week
Speaker 1: and you start the game plan a little bit and
Speaker 1: there's been some things that, you know, maybe we're relatively
Speaker 1: new to me, but you know now I feel like
Speaker 1: I've got a better grasp of, you know, what we're
Speaker 1: trying to do, both in the run game and the
Speaker 1: pass game. To catch all of Bradford's press conference and
Speaker 1: to hear the rest of our locker rooms sound, be
Speaker 1: sure to keep it right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Alex. When we get back a little
Speaker 1: bit later on, we're gonna talk about the NFC East,
Speaker 1: which is, as we know, wide open. Thanks New Orleans
Speaker 1: Saints for winning on Sunday night against Dallas. Chip Kelly
Speaker 1: in studio one on one talking about those New Orleans
Speaker 1: Saints primarily, and first things first, though, we've got to
Speaker 1: get a little cover two segment coming up. Chris McPherson.

Speaker 1: back Eagles insider Dave Spidero along with Joe Dicamera, We're
Speaker 1: gonna throw it from here to there. Just a little
Speaker 1: while ago, Chris McPherson talking to a couple of Eagles reporters,
Speaker 1: Tim McManus from Birds twenty four seven Jimmy Kemski from
Speaker 1: Philly Vois dot com dissecting the one in three Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, I'm Chris McPherson, and welcome to this week's
Speaker 1: edition of Cover two here on phil delf Eagles dot com.
Speaker 1: We're gonna look back at Sunday's lost to Washington and
Speaker 1: look ahead to see if this one in three Eagles
Speaker 1: team can get things on track against the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: And I'm joined this week by as you saw in
Speaker 1: week one, to McManus from Bird's Way four seven and
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kemski from Philly Voice dot com. Tim, you are
Speaker 1: the wet blanket of reason when we go back to
Speaker 1: week one. Well, you are the one who's you know,
Speaker 1: kind of downplay at all the optimism said, you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta take a wait and see approach of this
Speaker 1: football team. Maybe you are right. So, now that you've
Speaker 1: seen this team through four games, do you think it's
Speaker 1: a matter of the personnel that's on this football team?
Speaker 1: Or is it an execution standpoint that's lacking and why
Speaker 1: the Eagles are in the position they are. I think
Speaker 1: you can take a healthy dose of both if we're
Speaker 1: If I have to choose one, I'll go to personnel first,
Speaker 1: because execution, I think basically comes down to coaching and talent.
Speaker 1: The talent along the offensive line right now, given knee
Speaker 1: injuries and maybe some miscalculations as it applies to the guards,
Speaker 1: is hurting. This team's a bill need to execute, and
Speaker 1: so I think that fundamentally there's something wrong with the
Speaker 1: offensive line right now. And while you can pick apart
Speaker 1: the quarterback, the wide receivers and their drops on down
Speaker 1: the line, I think without a sturdy offensive front as
Speaker 1: sort of the core of your football team, it makes
Speaker 1: everything else just exponentially more difficult. Jimmy, agree or disagree?
Speaker 1: Execution or is it personnel? Yeah? I agree? I mean, well,
Speaker 1: I think that those two things go hand in hand.
Speaker 1: If your personnel is it's good, they're going to execute
Speaker 1: typically and if they're not, then they're not going to execute.
Speaker 1: But of course, like Tim said, execution also you know
Speaker 1: the factor in scheme and coaching and whatever else in there.
Speaker 1: But you know they have. Sam Bradford hasn't throwing the
Speaker 1: ball very accurately. I think that's pretty clear, especially through
Speaker 1: the first three teams. He was better in Week four
Speaker 1: when he was able to hit on some deep balls
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. You know, certainly they've had drop They've
Speaker 1: had drop passes like like Tim mentioned, from a variety
Speaker 1: of receivers. It's been everyone. It's in the receivers, the
Speaker 1: running backs to the tight ends, they've all been guilty
Speaker 1: of dropping tasks. And then the offensive line just well,
Speaker 1: I think they've been okay in pass protection, especially again
Speaker 1: in the first three weeks, not so much against the Redskins.
Speaker 1: They just clearly have not been able to open up
Speaker 1: holes in the running game. And that's where the Eagles
Speaker 1: offense starts. I mean, when when they're running the ball, well,
Speaker 1: everything else flows from there. And they just clearly, you know,
Speaker 1: clearly have not been able to run the ball at
Speaker 1: all this season. So you know, I think again, you
Speaker 1: can you can pick whatever you want personnel, execution, scheme,
Speaker 1: none of it's working right now. All right, gentlemen, I
Speaker 1: will let you guys have an opportunity to fix this
Speaker 1: football team. And Jimmy I'll let you have the first
Speaker 1: crack of this. If you could make one adjustment to
Speaker 1: get things going for the Eagles, what would it be?
Speaker 1: You know what? And I thought, you know, I've I've
Speaker 1: thought about this question, and I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's my answer. My answer is, really, I just don't know.
Speaker 1: What do you do? Your running game isn't working. Guys
Speaker 1: are dropping passengers inaccurate passes. I don't know what you do?
Speaker 1: You slow it down? I don't think that's the answer.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you I don't know. Do you make
Speaker 1: a quarterback change? I don't think that's the solution. I
Speaker 1: just that's my answer. I don't know, Tim. That might
Speaker 1: be Chip's answer to but I would say slow down
Speaker 1: the speed of the offense. And the reason being is
Speaker 1: because I think the strength of your team in this
Speaker 1: order is defense, special teams, and an offense. Right now,
Speaker 1: it's constructed to be leaning on the offense at Everything
Speaker 1: is built by virtue of the tempo. Everything is built
Speaker 1: around that. But tempo. All it's doing right now is
Speaker 1: giving quick three and outs so that the defense is
Speaker 1: on the field more. They lead the league in time
Speaker 1: of possession, they lead the league and plays against and
Speaker 1: if the strength of your unit is getting put in
Speaker 1: a bad spot, then you're not giving yourself the best
Speaker 1: opportunity to win games. I think the only solution, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if this offense can function without tempo,
Speaker 1: to be totally honest with you, but I think that
Speaker 1: the only possible solution is to lean on the ground game,
Speaker 1: milk the clock, give your defense the fewest amount of
Speaker 1: opportunities to be on the field, and try to maximize
Speaker 1: their chances so you're not exposing I'm over exposing them
Speaker 1: putting them on the field for where a ninety yard
Speaker 1: play at the ninety yard drive at the end of
Speaker 1: the game where they're winded, and they said they weren't guess,
Speaker 1: they're guess. I mean, come on, you're playing seventy nine snaps,
Speaker 1: you're guest. So I think that the answer is to
Speaker 1: slow it down. I don't think Chip's going to do it, though.
Speaker 1: So the Eagles were one in three back in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: they rallied and were able to win the division. They're
Speaker 1: one and three once again, Tim, do you think that
Speaker 1: they can get to win this Sunday against New Orleans?
Speaker 1: So you weren't going to give me the long term projection. No, no,
Speaker 1: we're just just started game by gaming. Well, here's what
Speaker 1: you call me, the wet blanket, get the getting of
Speaker 1: the show. But I actually picked this team to go
Speaker 1: eleven to five, and I've also picked this team to
Speaker 1: win every week through the first four weeks. Think oh,
Speaker 1: they're gonna turn around this week, and I ended up
Speaker 1: only getting one of those, right of course in New York,
Speaker 1: and so they'll probably win this week because I'm going
Speaker 1: the other way. I'm I'm gonna pick because when I
Speaker 1: looked at on the practice field on Tuesday, and you
Speaker 1: see Lane Johnson on the sideline, you see Jason Peters
Speaker 1: on the sideline, see Alan Barber on the sideline, offensive
Speaker 1: line's already having troubles. Now those guys are out, um
Speaker 1: if and I'm sure you know a couple of those
Speaker 1: guys will get back. But either way, with them being
Speaker 1: dinged up, I'm going to roll up the Saints. Jimmy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: me too. In fact, I've actually tim got one right.
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten any right. I pick the Jets to
Speaker 1: win week three, and they they so I'm on four.
Speaker 1: I'm not the right person to to base your picks
Speaker 1: on here, But yeah, I'm with Tim. The offensive line
Speaker 1: is just extraordinarily banged up, and then you got a
Speaker 1: lot of you got a lot of guys on defense
Speaker 1: that are banged up as well. So yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's really kind of hard at this point, unfortunately too,
Speaker 1: to feel confident picking an Eagles team that I believe
Speaker 1: is actually like a five point favorite over the Saints. Together,
Speaker 1: we only have one correct, right, so whether you trust
Speaker 1: or not still Jimmy Keepski from Phillyboys dot com, Tim
Speaker 1: mc mass from Burst Way four seven, and I'm Chris McPherson.
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us on this week's edition of
Speaker 1: Cover two here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks so much,
Speaker 1: fellas Joe. It's always interesting to me. I mean, everywhere
Speaker 1: you go in this area, Eagles fans around the world,
Speaker 1: water cools are filling up, people trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what's going on with this football. Nobody's got answers. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions, Dave, and I think the
Speaker 1: lack of answers right now is a problem. It's a concern.
Speaker 1: It's what Chip Kelly and the team has to solve, clearly.
Speaker 1: But there is a lot of banter out there. We're
Speaker 1: hearing it every day. A lot of concern rightfully, so hey,
Speaker 1: it's a one in three football team. Ye, so it
Speaker 1: is a concern, and they're going to have to play
Speaker 1: better football. There is still opportunity. The division still gives
Speaker 1: them a shot for sure. If they play better, they
Speaker 1: can get it together. But if they don't, the season
Speaker 1: will end the way many others have ended. Two points
Speaker 1: but at two point loss in Atlanta, a three point
Speaker 1: loss against the Redskins. This is the margin for error
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and Eagles have to find a way
Speaker 1: to cross that margin and get some victories. So that's all.
Speaker 1: It takes a little bit that. Yeah, but you know what,
Speaker 1: it's not as simple as just one play. That's the
Speaker 1: one thing Chip said that this week. It's more than
Speaker 1: just a play. Yeah, you can lose a game based
Speaker 1: on a play when you lose by less than seven points,
Speaker 1: any play in theory can define the win or the loss,
Speaker 1: you know, the loss in that case. But there's a
Speaker 1: cumulative effect here of the team not playing well enough.
Speaker 1: That is stronger, I believe, and just a seven point Okay,
Speaker 1: So if the Eagles had found a way to beat Washington,
Speaker 1: would we be sitting here going this is wrong, that's wrong.
Speaker 1: If this is wrong and that's wrong, would people be
Speaker 1: talking about that or it would we be saying the
Speaker 1: Eagles are two and two. Not what you want exactly,
Speaker 1: but really right in the game. I think it would
Speaker 1: be obviously a combination of both, but I think there
Speaker 1: would be a lean toward the first one, Dave, And
Speaker 1: i'll tell you why. Last year, remember how the Eagles
Speaker 1: started that season. They were winning games that they're winning
Speaker 1: ugly so to speak, and defensive touchdowns and special teams
Speaker 1: touchdowns would you can't always count on And as the
Speaker 1: year went on, there weren't as many of them, particularly
Speaker 1: from the defense. So there's no question you bring up
Speaker 1: a good point. Hey, two and two is a lot
Speaker 1: better than one in three. It would be people would
Speaker 1: be a little settled down. But there are issues. We
Speaker 1: know there are issues, and they've got occurrect but it
Speaker 1: doesn't and we'll send it to break here in a moment.
Speaker 1: But this is the difference between the team side and
Speaker 1: the non team side. Team side, all the matters is
Speaker 1: winning a game. You're gonna correct mistakes anyway, just win
Speaker 1: football games. But to you never say negative things instanternally
Speaker 1: about a win, because it's so hard to win an NFR.
Speaker 1: But here's what I'll say. Two and two wouldn't have
Speaker 1: defined that the Eagles are ready to beat the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, but don't play the green Baby Mill. They
Speaker 1: don't put Ultimately, you need to beat those and when
Speaker 1: you're ready, when then when they're on the schedule, then
Speaker 1: you play prepared to be But you gotta get to
Speaker 1: those kind of games to be there. And even at
Speaker 1: two and two, the Eagles wouldn't exactly be tracking toward
Speaker 1: a great season. Well, they don't track toward anything right now.
Speaker 1: You track toward your next game in September and October.
Speaker 1: But this is a great conversation to have. And anyway,
Speaker 1: we're in the NFC East and we're gonna be talking
Speaker 1: about the NFC East when we come back. Who's who's
Speaker 1: the favorite? I say it's the Giants. Who do you
Speaker 1: say it is? Joe and I were gonna talk about
Speaker 1: it when we return. Brushing off our brows, wiping off
Speaker 1: the sweat, it's Eagles three sixty. I sept to Philly.

Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty is the NFC East Dave spidero Joe
Speaker 1: to camera. We begin with the Washington Redskins, who dealt
Speaker 1: Eagles are really tough loss on Sunday and Joe, I
Speaker 1: think we ask us every week are they for real? No,
Speaker 1: they're not for real? The Washington Redskins, They're not for real.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody in this division right now is,
Speaker 1: but I certainly don't think Washington is. I wasn't particularly
Speaker 1: impressed by them. Dave kirk Cousins is not going to
Speaker 1: be a winning quarterback over the course of a season. Now. Someone,
Speaker 1: as we know, and we'll talk about it with all
Speaker 1: the teams here, someone's going to pop up and get
Speaker 1: to eight and eight or nine and seven and win
Speaker 1: this division. And theoretically Washington could be that team. Doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they're very good. I don't think they're very good.
Speaker 1: Football season to find the next two weeks for Washington
Speaker 1: road games Atlanta and then the New York Jets. If
Speaker 1: Washington wins those games, they are real. How about the
Speaker 1: New York Giants with the big win on the road
Speaker 1: at the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, they get to two
Speaker 1: and two, the offense coming alive, the defense despite some
Speaker 1: personnel losses. The Giants are playing really good football and
Speaker 1: right now their schedules sets up for them to kind
Speaker 1: of take a leap ahead the rest of the team
Speaker 1: very much so, Dave, I think as of right now
Speaker 1: this moment, because of the Tony Romo injury, I would
Speaker 1: probably say that the Giants have the best chance to
Speaker 1: win the division. Now, we're only through a quarter of
Speaker 1: the season. There's so much to go. But when you
Speaker 1: look at the Giants and what's up ahead San Francisco
Speaker 1: at home for New York for New York in week five,
Speaker 1: that's a win that the Giants should get. Certainly they'll
Speaker 1: be favorite in our favorite versus the Eagles week six.
Speaker 1: That's a huge, huge game, particularly from the Eagles standpoint.
Speaker 1: The Giants didn't have Dallas in week seven and at
Speaker 1: New Orleans week eight. The Giants schedule sets up to
Speaker 1: give them some possibility. And I will really emphasize strongly,
Speaker 1: Dave cannot say it enough that game between the Giants
Speaker 1: and Eagles week six is a pivotal game for the
Speaker 1: Eagles because, hey, look, if they lose that game, then
Speaker 1: you're really talking about a whole versus team that I
Speaker 1: think is the surging team in the right. And then
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys suffering their tough loss on Sunday Night
Speaker 1: against New Orleans, losing Lands Dunbar, their versatile running back
Speaker 1: for the season. In the process, injuries creeping up at
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Who get Greg Hardy back on the field
Speaker 1: this week so they get their premier pass rusher and
Speaker 1: they need it. With Tom Brady and the New England
Speaker 1: Patriots coming to town. It's how spot for Dallas. I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna be a They're gonna be an underdog
Speaker 1: in the next three weeks Dallas home versus New England
Speaker 1: the bye week six, at the Giants Week seven, there'll
Speaker 1: be an underdog, and home versus Seattle week eight. Look,
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys could lose five straight games. They legitimately
Speaker 1: could lose five straight heading into the game Week nine
Speaker 1: versus the Eagles. Also, when we talk about them, Brandon Whedon,
Speaker 1: who of course lost versus the Saints. What a big
Speaker 1: win it was from an Eagle standpoint. The New Orleans
Speaker 1: got that game the other night in overtime, Brandon Weeding
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback has now lost ten straight games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll think about that. They ten straight times he has
Speaker 1: started the game and lost the game. That's consistency, and
Speaker 1: that is a lot of consistency for Brandon Whedon and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Still hanging in there, and if they can
Speaker 1: how upset the New England Patriots, we'll be singing a
Speaker 1: different songs different. I mean, this goes weeks two week
Speaker 1: we know that. And that's where you know, you go
Speaker 1: back two weeks ago, people were saying, hey, maybe Washington
Speaker 1: at Wona wins the team to win the division. I
Speaker 1: didn't believe that. Some people thought it, you know, and
Speaker 1: of course you know Dallas was getting the early pub.
Speaker 1: Now the Giants are getting the pub. This is a
Speaker 1: pendulum the swings constantly in the NFL, and so we
Speaker 1: know it'll change multiple times still to go from here.
Speaker 1: But right now the Giants look a little bit. How
Speaker 1: many wins takes this division definitely not ten, either seven,
Speaker 1: eight or nine. If I were up Dave, the last
Speaker 1: four years, there's been three teams who made the playoffs
Speaker 1: with seven wins. This division sets up as a prime
Speaker 1: candidate for that. Now, with that said, if I had
Speaker 1: to say right now, I'd probably say eight, but there's
Speaker 1: a very real possibility could be said. I think some
Speaker 1: team gets hot. I think that team's gonna be the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. And I'm still not ruling out ten wins
Speaker 1: for this football team. How's that, well, I would take
Speaker 1: I gotta do quick math. What's that nine and three?
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's what they did a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: That's fine, but and it can happen. But boy, there's
Speaker 1: gotta be a lot of better improvement for a nine
Speaker 1: and three stretcher. And it starts this Sunday when the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints come to town. And that's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about next on Eagles three to sixty

Speaker 1: game day excitement is rolling into Duncan Taste the new
Speaker 1: Tailgator breakfast sandwich stacked with smoke, sausage, fire roasted peppers,
Speaker 1: and onions. America runs on Duncan We welcome you into
Speaker 1: our studio or exclusive one on one with head coach
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. The New Orleans Saints coming to town on
Speaker 1: Sunday big game on Sunday. Coach, first, let's talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about some of the good things that happened
Speaker 1: in Washington. I know, tough loss, but the offense getting
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, big plays in the passing game.
Speaker 1: What's that meaning for your offense? Yeah, we you know,
Speaker 1: didn't do much in the first half, came out in
Speaker 1: the second half and coverage wise, they gave us a
Speaker 1: couple of looks where we could get the ball down
Speaker 1: the field. Hadn't seen um a lot of that this year,
Speaker 1: but you know, when when we have the opportunity to
Speaker 1: Sam can get the ball down the field, you know
Speaker 1: through a sixty yard or to Coop on a post route.
Speaker 1: Got got Nelly down there once on a play action
Speaker 1: pass and then also got one to Miles Austin for
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So um, you know, we we we've always
Speaker 1: felt confident that we had that. It's just does the
Speaker 1: defense give it to you. There's not a reason to
Speaker 1: throw it if they don't give it to you. But
Speaker 1: they gave it to us and we took advantage of it.
Speaker 1: Another thing that was impressive the way the tight ends
Speaker 1: have really contributed, zach Ertz saying in the locker room.
Speaker 1: He felt that was his best game in blocking, and
Speaker 1: Brent caught the touchdown pass. What's their versatility meant for
Speaker 1: your offense? Well, Zach obviously missed preseason camp. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: had had some surgery and really he's just got cleared
Speaker 1: like day or two before the Atlantic game, So I
Speaker 1: think he's just starting to get back into his stride
Speaker 1: and you've seen him improve each week. And then Um,
Speaker 1: Brent's always just been a very reliable player for us,
Speaker 1: you know, someone you could always hang your hat on. Um.
Speaker 1: He does a great job as a blocking tight end
Speaker 1: in this league, but he could catch the ball when
Speaker 1: asked too. And you know he came up big on
Speaker 1: a on a big down for US down in the
Speaker 1: red zone there. Um, they played a man coverage and
Speaker 1: brought in all uplits and Sam did a good job
Speaker 1: of avoiding it and then uh got a chance to
Speaker 1: get hit Brent and get him in the end zone.
Speaker 1: Some reserves stepping up for the offensive line. What have
Speaker 1: you seen from the group in total? Just in terms
Speaker 1: of depth, you know, we're just we're injured. Obviously, we
Speaker 1: lost Jason Peters, so then we um and we had
Speaker 1: also lost Andrew Gardner before the game started. So, UM,
Speaker 1: Matt Tobin did a nice job when he was in
Speaker 1: there and had to go from guard and then bounce
Speaker 1: out to tackle um when Jason went down. UM. And
Speaker 1: then Dennis Kelly did a nice job when he was
Speaker 1: in there. On defense. The run game has been good,
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, and bo Allen and Benny Logan
Speaker 1: have played nose tackle. Uh. Benny's moved to the end
Speaker 1: position as well. Um. Really versatile, dominating kind of players
Speaker 1: as a group together. What do you see for those guys, Well, well,
Speaker 1: we always felt our defensive line our strongest position on
Speaker 1: our football team, and unfortunately we did not have Taylor
Speaker 1: Heart and set her Thornton in his pass game, so
Speaker 1: and then lost Brandon Bear early. So you know, Benny
Speaker 1: and bo Allen and Fletcher had to play a lot
Speaker 1: of snaps and just did a great job. You know.
Speaker 1: Obviously it's stopping the run was a very important thing
Speaker 1: for us against the Redskins with Alfred Morris and what
Speaker 1: they do and those guys, you know, kind of set
Speaker 1: the tone for us up front in terms of how
Speaker 1: they play the game. It's the Saints on Sunday and
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is the quarterback. That's where the conversation starts
Speaker 1: with New Orleans. He's bounced back from the arm problems.
Speaker 1: I guess a difference between the pre injured Drew and
Speaker 1: what we saw Sunday night. I don't I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know injured. He missed one game, so it wasn't
Speaker 1: like he he's missed a prolong period of time. But
Speaker 1: he was extremely accurate Sunday night against Cowboys. You know,
Speaker 1: he has such a good feel for that offense. He's
Speaker 1: been in it for such a long time and has
Speaker 1: been there for such a long time. But he was
Speaker 1: firing the ball all over the place and you know,
Speaker 1: threw his fore on a touchdown pass h in overtime.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of touchdown passes in his career. But it's, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a challenge every time you face him.
Speaker 1: We faced him two years ago in a in a
Speaker 1: playoff game, and you know how talented he is. How
Speaker 1: would you describe what kind of quarterback is it? Does?
Speaker 1: It start with the really intelligence and I'd say he's
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback. That's how would describe him. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's one of the best. Yeah, he's not the biggest guy.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the biggest arm, but tremendously The biggest
Speaker 1: thing is he's extremely accurate. So I think when people
Speaker 1: say he doesn't have a big arm, it's um he's
Speaker 1: as accurate as any quarterback out there. And I think
Speaker 1: that's the thing is he's very intelligent. But he also
Speaker 1: can put the ball exactly where he wants to put it.
Speaker 1: They have three running backs if they use liberally, how
Speaker 1: how do they employ that group? They just they roll,
Speaker 1: They roll them through, you know, and you're gonna see
Speaker 1: him they all do. They all run inside the tackles,
Speaker 1: they'll run outside the tackles. They all catch the ball
Speaker 1: coming out of the backfield. So I don't think there's
Speaker 1: one specific role for each individual. I think they can
Speaker 1: use them in in a wide variety of ways, and
Speaker 1: that's what makes them so dangerous to defend. You kiss
Speaker 1: can't say if he's in this is just what they
Speaker 1: do because they do it all with all three of
Speaker 1: those guys in there. What kind of challenge is it
Speaker 1: that with Marcus Colston and Brandon Cooks leading the way
Speaker 1: for their receivers a deep group there, but what kind
Speaker 1: of challenges that for the second Um, just some different
Speaker 1: you know, with Colston and Brandon Coleman, you got some
Speaker 1: real big tall guys six four six five guys, and
Speaker 1: then with Cooks you got a shifty, fast, fast fast,
Speaker 1: one of the fastest guys to come out of the
Speaker 1: Combine two years ago. Um, so it's it's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: they get you kind of got You got the big
Speaker 1: guys and you got a small, fast guy. So it's
Speaker 1: going to be an interesting matchup with our defensive secondary. Defensively,
Speaker 1: Rob Ryan's been around the league a long time, a
Speaker 1: lot of success. We saw him in twenty and thirteen
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. What are the characteristics of his defense? Um,
Speaker 1: very well coached. You know, they're very sound in terms
Speaker 1: of what they do. And then, um, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of extremes. Sometimes they bring all uplets and play cover
Speaker 1: zero and then the next play they'll rush for you
Speaker 1: guys and drop eight guys. So, um, there's not just
Speaker 1: one thing he does. It's a wide variety of things
Speaker 1: he does and that's why you have to be prepared
Speaker 1: for all of it. Thanks. Thanks, The tournament is there,

Speaker 1: some thoughts here on how the Eagles and the Saints
Speaker 1: may play out. Gotta get after Drew Brees absolutely critical,
Speaker 1: Dave New Orleans this year is not running the ball
Speaker 1: well at all, only averaging three point six yards per carry,
Speaker 1: and certainly that works from an Eagles point Who's stopping
Speaker 1: the run fantastically well this year. It's really the strength
Speaker 1: of the Eagles as of right now stopping the run.
Speaker 1: So it comes down to the ball is gonna be
Speaker 1: in Drew Brees's hands a lot, as we know, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be slinging it around. You got to get after him.
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham, Connor Barwin, Vinny Curry, They've got to get
Speaker 1: after him. And it's not just about Sackson. It's about
Speaker 1: moving him off of his spot. And he's very good
Speaker 1: as we know, Dave. We've seen it through the years,
Speaker 1: him moving around, sliding around some of those great quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: They know it's just that one step over that gives
Speaker 1: them the time. So if they can get after Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: That can make a year. And as Chip Kelly said
Speaker 1: in the previous segment, the arm strength doesn't really matter
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees. He finds a way to get the
Speaker 1: ball to the open receiver. He's a great He's a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. I mean it's not often the touchdown passes.
Speaker 1: He's phenomenal. I mean this generation of football is really
Speaker 1: being to find him many ways by Manning, by Brady,
Speaker 1: by Rogers, by Breese, and Roethlisberger. Eli to a lesser extent,
Speaker 1: he's got two rings, but I mean Breeze is legit.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a flat out Hall of Famer. Our
