Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to the Eagles three sixty Eagles
Speaker 1: insider Dave Spidero along with Glenn mcnowell on this b
Speaker 1: e A beautiful Thursday, really beautiful day, isn't it? The weather?
Speaker 1: The weather's great. Yeah, that's one positive. So let's get
Speaker 1: the forecast for the Eagles and hope that it turns
Speaker 1: clear and sunny on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. We've got
Speaker 1: a great show for you today. Glenn mcnow is gonna
Speaker 1: give us some predictions, beautiful ball all week on these
Speaker 1: Ballpols predictions and there's some good ones. The voice the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, Merrill Reese, joins us in studio as well.
Speaker 1: So so thoughts Glenn, as we get a little bit
Speaker 1: closer to Sunday. You remember our old friend Hugh Douglas
Speaker 1: used to say do or die. This is do or die. Well,
Speaker 1: this really is do or die. You can go oh
Speaker 1: and two and still make the playoffs. And there are
Speaker 1: projections that the Eagles have a better than fifty fifty
Speaker 1: chance even now. The division is a mess. But Dave,
Speaker 1: if you go oh in three untrue, untrue, untrue, that
Speaker 1: you don't make it all right? And if it comes
Speaker 1: down to a Glenn in my pocket. I have two
Speaker 1: thousand and three again, because not only were the Eagles
Speaker 1: O in two in two thousand and three, they one
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and then they lost the next week in Dallas,
Speaker 1: so they were one in three. So really I'm looking
Speaker 1: at this as a two game series here. Eagles need
Speaker 1: to win one of these next two games, either in
Speaker 1: New York against the Jets or in Washington against that
Speaker 1: NFC's rival. Day. They need to win both in the
Speaker 1: next two games. And here's part of the problem. Once
Speaker 1: you hit O and three is when people start doubting
Speaker 1: and everybody starts doubting, and it becomes a real problem.
Speaker 1: Winning this weekend is essential. You got to win this weekend.
Speaker 1: And you know what, they really have the opportunity to win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good matchup the Eagles against the Jets.
Speaker 1: Busy day here on this Thursday at the Novicare Complex.
Speaker 1: Let's send you out now to the practice pitch. Alex
Speaker 1: Smith our Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone, I'm Alex
Speaker 1: Smith here with your three sixty update, presented by Sports Authority.
Speaker 1: While the Eagles wrapped up another day of training here
Speaker 1: at the Novicare Complex as they get set to take
Speaker 1: on the New York Jets on Sunday. Today, we heard
Speaker 1: from Eagles head coach Chip Kelly on how the Eagles
Speaker 1: running attack will be altered without having DeMarco Murray if
Speaker 1: he is unable to go on Sunday due to a
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Yeah. I mean, you always have to have
Speaker 1: depth at running back and that was always a plan
Speaker 1: for us. So you know, we got a tremendous confidence
Speaker 1: in Ryan, also in Darance Rolls if DeMarco can't go,
Speaker 1: but I'm not We're not putting any things on anything now.
Speaker 1: So it's just we'll say he does tomorrow and Saturday.
Speaker 1: He won't go today, and we'll say he does tomorrow
Speaker 1: on Saturday to make a determination where they'll play on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Inside the Eagles locker room, we heard for rookie wide
Speaker 1: receiver Nelson Agloor on having to win the battle in
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage if he looks to have any
Speaker 1: success against the Jets secondary on Sunday. When you when
Speaker 1: you win at the line of scrimmers, you put it,
Speaker 1: you know, secondary guys in a bond, because now they're
Speaker 1: in a trail ticket. Ye, those guys. Those guys have
Speaker 1: confidence in the in their skill sets, so they're gonna
Speaker 1: do some things no matter what. If they get beat,
Speaker 1: they're gonna play. And if you get get the line,
Speaker 1: you've got to compete. Stuff. With all the injuries the
Speaker 1: Eagles are facing this week, they may need to do
Speaker 1: some shuffling in the linebacker's corps and that may mean
Speaker 1: that Marcus Smith will see some extended time, and if
Speaker 1: that is the case, he says he'll be ready to go.
Speaker 1: That My urgency is, I definitely want to be out
Speaker 1: there on the field. Um, but I don't I don't think.
Speaker 1: You can't really think about those things, all worry about
Speaker 1: those things. That's why you just gotta take it one
Speaker 1: day at a time. And once I get to the
Speaker 1: game where I'm in the game, I'm gonna take it
Speaker 1: one player at a time. So I'm just ready to
Speaker 1: go out there and perform really well because I feel
Speaker 1: really comfortable and um what I'm doing. Because of this
Speaker 1: weekend's Papal visit in Philadelphia, the Eagles are heading out
Speaker 1: and hitting the road early this week for New York,
Speaker 1: and according to linebacker Brandon Graham, that might be a
Speaker 1: good thing as they get a chance to clear their heads. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's kind of taking a pressure. It's kind of cool
Speaker 1: to get away, you know, hour away from here, just
Speaker 1: to kind of clear our minds and just get focus
Speaker 1: on guy. As for today's injury update, the Eagles were
Speaker 1: without running back to Marco Murray, as well as linebackers
Speaker 1: Kiko Alonzo and Michael Kendricks. Defensive lineman Taylor Heart and
Speaker 1: Cedric Thornton were also non participants in today's practice. For
Speaker 1: all the latest Eagles news, be sure to keep it
Speaker 1: right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thank you so much, Alex.
Speaker 1: Eagles will head up to Monmouth University today and get
Speaker 1: ready for the Jets practice up there and move the
Speaker 1: operation north with Pope Francis coming to Philadelphia locking down
Speaker 1: the traffic making it miserable for everyone. It's a good
Speaker 1: secret weapon, man, You got to employ that Pope. Certainly.

Speaker 1: Runs un Duncan. We're back. It's Eagles three sixty, Dave
Speaker 1: and Glenn here. Now let's go to Chris McPherson with
Speaker 1: Eric Allen, New York Jets dot Com. Behind enemy lines.
Speaker 1: It's to go behind enemy lines here on Philadelphiagles dot Com.
Speaker 1: Or we're gonna go to North Jersey, where it's been
Speaker 1: a tale of two franchises. Early in the season, the
Speaker 1: New York Giants are owing two after blowing ten point
Speaker 1: leads in consecutive games. Meanwhile, the New York Jets are
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the AFC with the
Speaker 1: two win o start to the twenty fifteen season and
Speaker 1: then bring him down. We've bringing senior reporter from New
Speaker 1: York Jets dot Com, Eric Allen. Eric. The Jets defense
Speaker 1: was very good in the past under Rex Ryan, but
Speaker 1: they've taken into a whole new level with Todd Bowles
Speaker 1: in charge. What is Todd dunn to make this Jets
Speaker 1: defense one of the elite units in the entire NFL? Smack,
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on as always. The first thing
Speaker 1: I'd like to point out is what general manager Mike
Speaker 1: mccagnan did in the offseason. Todd Bowles was very clear
Speaker 1: about it, we have to fix our cornerback issues and
Speaker 1: mccagnen went to work on that, resigning de Rol Revas,
Speaker 1: bringing him back to a spot where he always wanted
Speaker 1: to play. Antonio Carmardi, his former partner in crime. He
Speaker 1: joined Reeva, and then an unheralded signing was getting Buster
Speaker 1: Screen in here who played outside in Cleveland, but he
Speaker 1: also has a versatility play inside for the Jets. He's
Speaker 1: playing that all important nickel position. Also, let's stay in
Speaker 1: the secondary. The Jets also brought in Marcus Gilchrist, who
Speaker 1: started his career with the San Diego Chargers, and the
Speaker 1: guys love him in the back end CMAC because he's
Speaker 1: a player, brings versatility, he can cover down the field,
Speaker 1: and he's a great communicator. And with that being said,
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles has brought in a fascinating system along with
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Case Rodgers, because at times they'll bring the
Speaker 1: blitz like last year they did in Arizona Bowls. Blitz
Speaker 1: more than any defensive play caller in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: But the Jets just this year have the more of
Speaker 1: an ability to cover in the back end. And what
Speaker 1: they're doing better than anybody in the National Football League
Speaker 1: right now. Smack. They're turning people over ten takeaways over
Speaker 1: two games. Last year, in sixteen games, the Jets had
Speaker 1: thirteen takeaways. Eric, How has the defensive line been able
Speaker 1: to perform so well earlier the year even without Sheldon
Speaker 1: Richard Richardson who's been suspended for the first four games. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: they got some talent up front even without Sheldon being
Speaker 1: in the lineup, Smack. It all starts up front with
Speaker 1: the nose tackle Damon snacks Harrison, who I think is
Speaker 1: better one of the better run players in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. And then you got Mo Wilkerson, who's off
Speaker 1: to a great start, Todd Boll said the other day
Speaker 1: Monday night in Indianapolis, when the Jets took home at
Speaker 1: twenty to seven victory, Wilkerson was unblockable. He was dominant.
Speaker 1: And then the Jets were fortunate in the April's draft
Speaker 1: smack when perhaps the most talented player the draft board
Speaker 1: felded him in number six overall. And Leonard Williams played
Speaker 1: really well in his second game. I think his emotions
Speaker 1: got the best of them in the first game in
Speaker 1: his first regular season appearance against the Cleveland Browns, But
Speaker 1: that second game against the Colts, he played really well
Speaker 1: as well. And the Jets are getting contributions from guys
Speaker 1: like Leja Douzable, a valuable reserve. So there's still a
Speaker 1: lot of talent there. And a great thing if you're
Speaker 1: a Jets fan is Sheldon Richardson is going to return
Speaker 1: at some point this season. Eric. Let's look at the
Speaker 1: offense for a second. What would it mean if Eric
Speaker 1: Decker is not able to play a receiver this Sunday. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: Decker's having a really good start to the season. C
Speaker 1: mac chan gaily has been using him in the slot,
Speaker 1: and the Jets like what he can do on the
Speaker 1: inside because sometimes he's matched up with linebackers and that's
Speaker 1: a big time mismatch. Brandon Mark show off to a
Speaker 1: good start as well for the Jets. But if Decker
Speaker 1: can't go, the Jets do have a couple of issues
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position because Chris a Woozoo also
Speaker 1: has a leg injury and Top Bull said yesterday he
Speaker 1: could be out a couple of weeks. So what that
Speaker 1: will mean is that they're gonna have to They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to count on guys like Quincy and Nona, a
Speaker 1: guy who's come in and basically been the Jets third
Speaker 1: receiver at times. He plays like a little h back
Speaker 1: role for this team. They like to use him. He's
Speaker 1: like a tweeterer. He can be a wide receiver, a
Speaker 1: tight end, and h back. They like him because he's
Speaker 1: a big body who can block on the perimeter. But
Speaker 1: they also have Jeremy Curley who hasn't played a lot
Speaker 1: this year Chris and he could see some more playing
Speaker 1: time this week. And then Devin Smith, a second round
Speaker 1: pick out of Ohio State, was one of the most
Speaker 1: accomplished vertical threats in college football last season. He could
Speaker 1: make a return as soon as Sunday. He got hurt
Speaker 1: early in camp, broken ribs, punctured long, but he's backpracticing
Speaker 1: full and he could see his debut coming up here
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. All right, Eric, last question for you.
Speaker 1: Let's make it real quick here. Give Eagles fans a name,
Speaker 1: an X factor, someone to watch this Sunday that they
Speaker 1: might not already know about. I'll go on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball. How about I take two X factors.
Speaker 1: The left guard James Carpenter for the Jets has been
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise. He played in Seattle, appeared in the
Speaker 1: past couple of Super Bowls with the Seahawks Seamac He's
Speaker 1: a big guy, but he can really get out and
Speaker 1: move and pull, and the Jets can run the football
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. I'm going back
Speaker 1: to number forty one buster screen he made his first appear.
Speaker 1: It's a national TV the other night and Monday night football.
Speaker 1: But he's a big time player and he's a difference
Speaker 1: maker in the National Football League when everybody's gone and
Speaker 1: thrown to their players out of the slot. This guy
Speaker 1: is a dynamic performer and he'd really taken this secondary
Speaker 1: to the next level. That's Eric Allen from New York
Speaker 1: Jets dot com. Thanks for thanks for taking us behind
Speaker 1: aemy lions here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks so much, Chris,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Eric Glenn. We've got to a little
Speaker 1: bit of focus here now. It's tend to dig in
Speaker 1: Eagles Jets. I know you've got some deep, deep thoughts.
Speaker 1: I got deep thoughts, and coming up right after this,
Speaker 1: Dave Spadero my bold predictions for this week's Eagles versus
Speaker 1: Jets game, coming up right here on Eagles three sixty
Speaker 1: right after this. Carves to compete electrolytes, to replenish everything
Speaker 1: you need to keep sweating. I sept to Philly. I
Speaker 1: sept the Philly. You'll step out Philly, the bus, the trolley,
Speaker 1: the train route one twenty four, root twenty three. I

Speaker 1: Chips Bellas. I'm sorry we were daydreaming about that VIP

Speaker 1: Believe in Eagles season tickets. He both had the new

Speaker 1: prizes including season tickets the Pennsylvania Lottery. Bring your Dreams
Speaker 1: to life. Enter at Philadelphia Eagles dot com for a
Speaker 1: chance to win a pair of tickets in the Ameroso
Speaker 1: Sweet when the Eagles take on the Buffalo Bills at
Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field. Time. Now for the moment you've been
Speaker 1: waiting for all week. It's Glenn mcnown's three bold predictions.
Speaker 1: He's been wrong for the first two weeks. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, we've all been wrong, but we've all been
Speaker 1: wrong for the first two weeks. And now we're gonna
Speaker 1: change the mojo. Here, what do you got for? You're
Speaker 1: gonna love the first one, okay, And I think the
Speaker 1: first one could really help this team. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be the week that the Eagles get Darren Sprawls involved
Speaker 1: early and all often. You remember last year, sprowles first
Speaker 1: game with the Eagles against Jacksonville got fifteen touches and
Speaker 1: he was great. I think given the way the rest
Speaker 1: of the offense is going, you get it to Sprowls early,
Speaker 1: you isolate him on the linebackers. He's somebody they really
Speaker 1: can't cover. And I'll just give you this stats through
Speaker 1: the first two games, Darren Sprowls averaging eight point five
Speaker 1: yards of touch, the other backs two point eight. It's
Speaker 1: easy And what's so unusual? Twelve touches in week one
Speaker 1: against the Falcons only five against the Dallas complies. Now,
Speaker 1: I know the number of players were down, but you
Speaker 1: really want to get Darren sproles involved as much as
Speaker 1: you can. We talked about it last year. His touches
Speaker 1: went down, Teams double teaming him so electric in the
Speaker 1: pun return game and naturally, I really I'm going to
Speaker 1: see Darren pick things up here in the return games.
Speaker 1: Special teams coming. Wait, wait, we've got that one. Well,
Speaker 1: please take control. We're going to go out of order.
Speaker 1: Then I'll go to the next one. This is the
Speaker 1: game where special teams makes a big play. It was
Speaker 1: such a huge part of their success last year. I've
Speaker 1: been touchdowns on special teams this year. It's fairly been
Speaker 1: a disaster through the first two games, mostly the block punt.
Speaker 1: The Eagles will make a big play on special teams,
Speaker 1: perhaps Darren Spoils and the punt returned. The Jets kicker
Speaker 1: Foles does not get it into the end zone all
Speaker 1: the time. This is their chance to make a big
Speaker 1: special team play. Change my men. Basically, what you're saying is,
Speaker 1: Darren Spoils number forty three, here's your football game. Go
Speaker 1: out and win it. And why not. Eagles need a spark,
Speaker 1: some spark, any spark. Go out and win a game,
Speaker 1: and it could be one of those days we've talked
Speaker 1: about the odd history of the Eagles and the Jets.
Speaker 1: Could be one of those games where the special teams
Speaker 1: make the difference like they did so often in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, bold frediction number three. Here
Speaker 1: you go. This one. You're not gonna like so much.
Speaker 1: And maybe it's not that bold, but the Eagles are
Speaker 1: going to turn the ball over three times, I think,
Speaker 1: which is going to make it tough to climb out
Speaker 1: and win. The Jets defense has nine turnovers Jets overall
Speaker 1: ten turnovers in the first two games. Sam Bradford has
Speaker 1: not been doing a good job. He's turning the ball over.
Speaker 1: I can't really foresee that changes. I see three turnovers
Speaker 1: and Dave, that means the Eagles defense to have to
Speaker 1: get that ball back. Yeah, the Jets have done just
Speaker 1: a great job taking the football away and the Eagles
Speaker 1: haven't been as secure with the football as they want.
Speaker 1: It's always an emphasis. We talked about it all of
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, and I agree with Glenn. It could come
Speaker 1: down to the turnover differential. The Eagles simply cannot give
Speaker 1: the football away to the New York Jets and set
Speaker 1: up an offense. It's only so so with favorable field position.
Speaker 1: By the way, Dave, two more bold predictions coming up.
Speaker 1: I'm the kickoff show. I've been working all week on this.
Speaker 1: I think this week I'm gonna be five for five. Okay, good, Well,
Speaker 1: as long as they lead to an Eagles victory, We're
Speaker 1: all happy here with the Philadelphia Eagles. Those are the
Speaker 1: bold predictions. When we return to Eagles three sixty, We've
Speaker 1: got a lot more for you. Mike Quick and I
Speaker 1: a Crease breaking down Malcolm Jenkins, who's off to a
Speaker 1: very fine start. But next, the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: Meryll Reese, how concerned is he with the Eagles into
Speaker 1: what makes a temple? Our meet Stella. She's wise, fierce,
Speaker 1: and she's not alone. Temple University where owls call home.
Speaker 1: We are the Cherry and White. The city is our classroom,
Speaker 1: and we lead the rush hour, making our mark on
Speaker 1: every field around the world. A world without temple, well,
Speaker 1: that's like the sky without the North Star, Temple never stopping.
Speaker 1: A better network, as explained by a door. This is
Speaker 1: data on a wireless network. Look a door. Let's all
Speaker 1: go throw it together. When it gets busy, it can
Speaker 1: get overwhelmed like this. A better network prepares for heavy
Speaker 1: traffic with more capacity. The door is bigger. A better
Speaker 1: network like Horizon, for instance, a microbic door. Here the
Speaker 1: Eagles sit at O and two, and here we sit
Speaker 1: Eagles insider Dave's SPIDERO with the voice of the Eagles,
Speaker 1: Meryl Reese and the New York Jets wait on Sunday
Speaker 1: and it won't be easy up at MetLife Stadium. Merrill,
Speaker 1: give us some hope. Well, I think that the Eagles
Speaker 1: are a team that has not shown its true colors yet,
Speaker 1: other than the fact that we know they're Midnight Green.
Speaker 1: But they look nothing. They haven't shown them. There's some
Speaker 1: the helmets. But but you know, you we watched this
Speaker 1: team this summer, and I know that you get excited
Speaker 1: about a game like we saw in Green Bay, and
Speaker 1: then you you come down the earth and you say, well,
Speaker 1: there's no game planning involved by the Packers defense, and
Speaker 1: it's not a regular season game. But you still see
Speaker 1: certain things. You see what Bradford can be in a
Speaker 1: game like that. You see what the running backs can
Speaker 1: be in a game like that. You see Matthews, and
Speaker 1: you see Aglare and the things that they can contribute.
Speaker 1: And then the season stars and other than that second
Speaker 1: half in Atlanta where the offense came to life, it
Speaker 1: has been dismal. And I say to myself, this cannot possibly,
Speaker 1: this cannot be the team that people nationally were projected
Speaker 1: not only to be a playoff contender, but to be
Speaker 1: a super Bowl contender. So I want to wait and
Speaker 1: see before I say, boy, the Eagles in deep trouble.
Speaker 1: Is this the games? You know, My theory is always
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a must game in September,
Speaker 1: But I might have been wrong. This is a must
Speaker 1: game for this team. Um, I know all the statistics
Speaker 1: about if if you're owing to how few twenty four
Speaker 1: percent of the teams go to the playoffs and seventy
Speaker 1: five you know, seventy six percent? Don't something like that.
Speaker 1: I know all those stats, but throw them out the window.
Speaker 1: We've seen an Eagles team in two thousand and three
Speaker 1: open Lincoln Financial Field with the resounding thud and lose
Speaker 1: the following week to New England and go on to
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game that year. So we don't. I
Speaker 1: don't forget the statistics. It's how the team. But I'm
Speaker 1: saying this week this is a key game. This is
Speaker 1: a key game. They have to show that they can
Speaker 1: beat a New York Jets team that what less than
Speaker 1: a month ago look perpect perplexed and confused. Look, we
Speaker 1: can talk about the Jets defense. They're very good. They
Speaker 1: manhandled Andrew Luck last Monday Night. But the Jests of
Speaker 1: the Jests offense, they're run by Ryan Fitzpatrick, who looks
Speaker 1: like he should be back at Harvard teaching philosophy. With
Speaker 1: that bushy beard and that big mustache, he looks nothing
Speaker 1: like a quarterback, and for that matter, he does not
Speaker 1: have starting quarterback skills. He is a journeyman quarterback. He
Speaker 1: can manage a game. Jets offensive line is pretty good,
Speaker 1: but look at their receivers. Deckers Woo Sue's out, so
Speaker 1: you have Brandon sure about Decker and Brandon Marshall can
Speaker 1: play that Decker was out, I think it's unlikely that
Speaker 1: he would play, but it's very questionable disappoint But basically
Speaker 1: you have Brandon Marshall who's a tough receiver, and Quincy
Speaker 1: a Nonwa who wears number eighty one, and they don't
Speaker 1: scare you. They're tight end. You have Cumberland who's a
Speaker 1: blocking tight end. And you have their their other guy,
Speaker 1: Davis Uh. He's pretty good, but he's not eight. It's
Speaker 1: not like looking at and Chris Ivory's okay, he's a
Speaker 1: good back, he's a solid back. You have Balal Powell
Speaker 1: who's kind of utility man. But but their offense does
Speaker 1: not scare you. And this defense took a step forward
Speaker 1: last week against the Cowboys. They played better, and I
Speaker 1: think they're capable of keeping the Jets off the scoreboard.
Speaker 1: I mean not totally off the scoreboard, but I think
Speaker 1: they can keep the Jets to fewer than twenty points.
Speaker 1: I think they can keep them seventeen or less. The
Speaker 1: Eagles score eighteen or more against the Jets defense. Now,
Speaker 1: we've seen the Eagles often, we've touched on it, We've
Speaker 1: all look, we all have our theories and there's probably
Speaker 1: a collection of ideas that you mix them together. And
Speaker 1: that's the reason why, Um, what do the Eagles do here? Meryl?
Speaker 1: Do do you anticipate significant changes that we would notice
Speaker 1: when we're watching the game. Do you think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be kind of it's just gonna come down to execution.
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you expect to have a big
Speaker 1: believer in execution? I believe that the good teams can
Speaker 1: take any system and run it as long as they
Speaker 1: have the best personnel, as long as they have superior personnel.
Speaker 1: And I still think that we have not seen the
Speaker 1: real Sam brad for yet. We haven't seen DeMarco Murray.
Speaker 1: Even if he doesn't play this week, Brian Matthews is
Speaker 1: certainly a number one back. We know what Darren sproles
Speaker 1: can be like. We know that Zach Ertz can get open.
Speaker 1: We know that Brent Sellick is still talking about all
Speaker 1: the perimeters. Yeah, they're abound in the perimeter well, but
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the offensive line too, of course, and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the guys like Ryan Matthews who ought
Speaker 1: to be able to get up the middle, ought to
Speaker 1: be able to slash for four yards or five yards.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I used to believe and I
Speaker 1: still do, that teams today play so little, starters play
Speaker 1: so little in the preseason that what we watch in
Speaker 1: September is what used to be the preseason. It's not
Speaker 1: only here, but it's throughout the league, flag after flag
Speaker 1: after flag. It's not that if some of the calls
Speaker 1: are borderline, Dave, but most of them are Warrington, and
Speaker 1: they're because the players are sloppy, they're not in sync,
Speaker 1: they're not ready for the start of the season. The
Speaker 1: product in September throughout the National Football League is at
Speaker 1: a much lower level than it will be in a
Speaker 1: month or two from now. And I think the Eagles
Speaker 1: are part of it. And I'm hoping that what we've
Speaker 1: seen in weeks one and two is just an abiration,
Speaker 1: not what this team is all about. Well, we agree,
Speaker 1: we're on the same page. Go out and get await
Speaker 1: on Sunday and have some fun up in the broadcast.
Speaker 1: We'll have a lot of fun. If what we didn't
Speaker 1: have fun at the broadcast both against Dallas, but hopefully
Speaker 1: we're in a great stadium. I'm kind of glad they're
Speaker 1: away from home this week. Take a little pressure off.
Speaker 1: You don't need to hear that reaction right away. And
Speaker 1: I think our fans are great, But I think that
Speaker 1: maybe it's it's not a bad idea to be on
Speaker 1: the road. Beat the Jets. Beat the Jets, then go
Speaker 1: to Washington and annihilate those guys and come home against
Speaker 1: the Saints, and they will be welcome with open arms,
Speaker 1: and things will be back on track. At least that's
Speaker 1: what I'm hoping for. That is the blueprint. Merl Reese,

Speaker 1: what are you waiting for? We are back David Glenn.
Speaker 1: We heard from Meryl Reese and Meryl's very honest, objective
Speaker 1: and concerned. I think everybody is yeah, oh too. It's shocking,
Speaker 1: but nine teams in the NFL in the same position Glenn.
Speaker 1: Among them Seattle, which gets camp Chancellor back Baltimore. We
Speaker 1: expect him to be a really good football team Detroit.
Speaker 1: Many people thought the Lions would be in the playoffs
Speaker 1: this year. Long way to go. Do you agree with
Speaker 1: Meryl Glenn that September in the NFL has become extended preseason?
Speaker 1: I do a Seattle started at three and three. Last year,
Speaker 1: they made the play, they made the Super Bowl. The
Speaker 1: Patriots lost their first game, they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I think teams now need more time to find themselves. Well,
Speaker 1: somebody who's found himself very quickly in the Seagles defense
Speaker 1: is Malcolm Jenkins. He's been outstanding since the Eagles signed
Speaker 1: him as an unrestricted free agent prior to the fourteen season.
Speaker 1: Our game Plan Crew, Ike Reas Mike Quick breaking down
Speaker 1: the early season's success of Malcolm Jenkins. All right, Mike.
Speaker 1: Our progress report this week takes us to am I Opaion,
Speaker 1: a player of the game on a defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. Last week, Malcolm Jenkins. Great job of Malcolm Jenkins.
Speaker 1: Not only is he fill in a row as a
Speaker 1: past defender in the second there, he's doing a great
Speaker 1: job coming up and supporting a run. You watch him
Speaker 1: here too, High shell at the beginning of the snap,
Speaker 1: Dallas is in an eye formation. He knows that's a
Speaker 1: high run tendency. Look where he's at, wants the ball
Speaker 1: is snapped and headed towards the line of scrimmage. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a guy that can do a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: They like him near the line of scrimmage. They like
Speaker 1: him back. He's a real smart football player. He's obviously
Speaker 1: a guy that spends a lot of time studying tendencies
Speaker 1: of teams. They know, as you said, when the quarterback
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys is under center, it's a high probability
Speaker 1: of running the football, So he quickly closes on the
Speaker 1: offensive line. A new role he's taken on this year.
Speaker 1: He's playing in the slot out of necessity. He's doing
Speaker 1: a great job. Here's what I like about him. His
Speaker 1: instincts are perfect. He's aggressive at at the snap of
Speaker 1: the ball, fighting through the block, making a big tackle
Speaker 1: down here on Colby's like he's seen this before, whether
Speaker 1: it's game planning or having the scout team show him
Speaker 1: this in practice. He recognizes the play and his instinct
Speaker 1: just takes over. He comes up and makes a quick stop. Again.
Speaker 1: I can't overspape this enough. His instincts are showing up everywhere.
Speaker 1: This is pre snap recognition. He knows this formation empty
Speaker 1: Backbill said there's no run threat, so he knows that
Speaker 1: if there's a possibility that she's going to get a
Speaker 1: quick screen, he jumps before the tight ends able to
Speaker 1: come out there the block and that passes intended again
Speaker 1: for Cole Beasley. This play here forces Tony Romo to
Speaker 1: hold the football and you got Jordan Hicks coming up
Speaker 1: in the inside with a big hit on Romo to
Speaker 1: knocks him out of the game. Well, when he jumps
Speaker 1: his combination on the outside, you're right, it forces Romo
Speaker 1: to pump fake and that's all it takes. With the
Speaker 1: pressure coming. And this is a very good call by
Speaker 1: Billy Davis, the defensive coordinator. So he gets to jump
Speaker 1: on the outside and Romo has to hold that ball
Speaker 1: just a second too long. It allows the pressure to
Speaker 1: get there with the sack. We've seen great progress from
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenis this year, filling his new role on the
Speaker 1: team nickelback safety. He does it all. Well, there you
Speaker 1: have it. We are finished. Glenn McNeill David Spidero hoping
Speaker 1: for a victory on Sunday certainly should be an interesting
Speaker 1: game at the very at least would be nice to
Speaker 1: have us come back next Tuesday be a little more
Speaker 1: festive than this week. Right, and these bold predictions thing,
Speaker 1: I mean, we gotta get one of these, right, two
Speaker 1: of you, right, the sprawls. One's gonna happen. I'll think
Speaker 1: one all right. For Glenn mack Now, Dave Spidero, we
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us on Eagles three sixty. Have
Speaker 1: yourselves a great Eagles Day.
