WEBVTT - Eagles 360: December 28 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:26.280 The Eagles and the Cowboys finishing up the Eagles twenty 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.680 sixteen season on Sunday Lincoln Financial Field. So on this 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.680 Eagle three sixty, we're going to talk about the state 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.040 of the Eagles and the state of the playoff bound 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.760 Dallas Cowboys. Hello everyone, and welcome Dave Spiderow along with 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.479 the Hall of Famer mister Mike Quick. Happy New Year, 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.919 Happy New Year, Dave. We'll get into it a little bit, 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.280 but I want to point out something I wrote today 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.879 October thirtieth. Eagles thirteen minutes left in the game at 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.600 ten point lead in the fourth quarter against the Dallas Cowboys, 0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:00.520 and then the season changed. Agree, it did change them. Yeah, 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.040 but it's a young team, you know. We you know, 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.480 we had such high expectations because of what they did 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.640 early in the season, and everyone, I think all of us, 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.320 we all got on it. We got on the wind swagon, 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.000 we got onto what the Eagles were doing, and I 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.800 think our expectations got kind of out of whack. Okay, well, 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.000 we'll talk about it, but first let's get you caught 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.720 up with everything happening at it Overcaret Complex today. A 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.160 lot of press conferences, a lot of activity, the final 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:32.080 Wednesday of this Eagles season. Alex Smith our three sixty update. 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.480 Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith here with your three sixty update. 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.119 The Eagles back on the practice field as they prepare 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.520 for the regular season finale on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.800 And a big question for the Eagles defense is who 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.600 are they going to see on Sunday in terms of 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.920 if Dallas is going to play their starters and if so, 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.400 how long will they play Today. We heard from some 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.760 members of the Eagles defense on preparing for all scenarios 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.760 on Sunday. I mean, it's not really tough because Dallas 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.280 going to do what they do. It don't matter who's 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.200 in there. They're gonna run the ball and they're gonna, 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.680 you know, they're gonna try to you know, run behind 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.080 their line and try to get this game over with 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:08.760 as quick as they can. So I think it's it's 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.919 gonna be a lot of running and it's gonna be physical. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.280 He's got to go out there and play. We're expecting 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:17.680 to see their starters. Anybody else who comes in We'll 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.360 just suggest to you know, we're we're going into it 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.480 thinking we're playing starters, and you know that's the matchup 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.720 obviously that we would like. You know, we want to 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.040 play everybody at the best, and we understand the situation, 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.320 but you know, it is, it is what it is. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:36.520 That's their decision. Um, well, I guess we'll see Meanwhile, 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.000 last night, the Eagles placed running back Ryan Matthews on 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.680 injured reserve, meaning that they have just two healthy running 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.880 backs on the active roster in Darren Sproles and Byron Marshall. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.720 Today inside the locker room, we heard from Marshall as 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.080 he gets ready for more of an expanded role in 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.320 the regular season finale. I think so, I think so. 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.200 You know, he's been here all season and went through 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.960 camp with us, and they're very familiar with offensively what 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.000 we're doing, and it's been in on all the meetings 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.799 and induced does a great job we getting those guys prepared. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.080 So his role, obviously, we'll pick up a little bit 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.320 more this week. That's good, you know what I'm saying. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.200 That's what I've been one all year. So the fact 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.360 that it's finally here, I'm just trying to make the 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.919 most of it. I mean, go out there trying to 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.480 get better every day, execute the plays, make sure we 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.359 run them right and just try to transfer that over 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.360 to Sundays and you know, do the same thing. And 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.280 finally we'll close things out with an injury update. According 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.280 to head coach Doug Peterson, no Alan Barber or Jordan 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.320 Matthews today at practice. Barber's dealing with a hamstring injury 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.520 while Jordan Matthews recovers from an ankle injury. We will 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.640 have a full injury report as well as all of 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.680 our press conferences from earlier today right here on Philadelphia 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.880 Eagles dot Com and the official Eagles mobile app Alex. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.400 Thank you so very much. When we get into the 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.680 show here, we'll take a look at the Dallas Cowboys 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.240 as they kind of relate to the Philadelphia Eagles. Will 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.400 do some of our stats only as we do every week, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.720 but we will return on Eagles three sixty with a 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:03.160 visit offensive backs coach Corey Unlin. His group gave up 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.000 a lot of acreage on Thursday night to the New 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.320 York Giants, but they had three interceptions, one return for 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.160 a touchdown, and at the end of the day the 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.120 Eagles beat the Giants. We talked to Corey Unlin about 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.839 that performance and about his secondary in general when we 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.320 come back.

We are here 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.120 with Eagles defensive backs coach Corey Unlan, and we look 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.160 back to Thursday night. The Eagles gave up a lot 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.680 of acreage to the New York Giants, but only one 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.800 touchdown pass aloud Corey. And before we get into the 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.120 big picture conversation here, let's talk about the approach on Thursday. 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.839 Obviously it was too I mean, I don't think ben 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.680 but not break is the right term. How would you 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.679 describe it. Yeah, he's gonna throw the ball, he doesn't 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.279 hold on to it, so you can blitz, as Jim 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.360 would say, you could bring everybody in the back end 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.520 and blitz all eleven guys balls coming out, even if 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.400 they didn't block one guy the balls coming out. So 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.240 you got to mix it up. And I think Jim's 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.960 done a good job of that all year, understanding the 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.719 quarterbacks and how to attack him. And I would not 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.279 say ben but don't break, but we're gonna play coverage 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.560 and make him throw that ball into places he doesn't 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:53.839 want to and hopefully you can give him to make 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.720 a mistake, and I wouldn't say made that many mistakes 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.680 last or on Thursday night, but we ended up with 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.640 some balls in our hands, which obviously was huge. It's 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.640 been a while since we've made enough plays to help 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.440 win a game, and guys were ready to play a 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.680 short week like they alas are. It was just good 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.240 to see them go out there and make some plays 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.680 so we could end up finishing the game. Malcolm Jenkins 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.280 really came up big in that game and has come 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.080 up big repeatedly the season. How has he played this 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:24.720 year's I think he's played just like he always plays. 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.360 Been obviously productive in there. I would say he probably 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.440 doesn't have as many opportunities around the football as he 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.200 did last year, even though he's played in the Nichols 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.160 since Ron Brooks got hurt. Obviously, but he's played at 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.120 a high level. Obviously. It was great to see him, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.000 I mean, fast start to the game, two tackles, ends 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.920 up making a huge third down stop on the first 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.360 third down of the game. They tried to pick him 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.760 with Odell and there slid right through. Great play and 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.400 then obviously two plays later on the next drive, he 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.160 ends up picking that ball off to go to the house, 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.560 and then Watt obviously gets hurt with the concussion protocol, 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.920 he's out. Then he's got to slide back and play safety. 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.200 Ends up making two plays back there as the safety, 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.040 one of them for an interception, big knockdown on another 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.960 player that they tried to throw Odell up the sideline. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.160 So he's played well, nothing's changed for him. Are there 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.960 a lot of safeties in this league who can also 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.560 slide into the nickel? I think it's going that way 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.160 the way that the offenses are trending with all the 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.080 whiteouts on the field every snap, and we we're not 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.120 playing that much basic defense anymore. So if you want 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.800 to keep base out there and be able to, you know, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.040 play your defenses and not have to sub every time 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.840 that they sub, then most of them I think it's 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.720 trended in that way. They're still obviously some I guess, 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.400 typical box safety guys in the league, but it's hard 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:33.960 because as soon as an offense knows you have a 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.360 guy like that, they're gonna find a way to put 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.440 them in a bad spot. Corey. The Eagles were really 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.080 excited when Rody McCloud joined the team to pair with Malcolm. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.320 Has it gone as you hoped? He would go? Yeah, 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.760 I think it has, absolutely it has. Those guys fuel 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.360 each other. They compete every single day with each other. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.360 Great in the meeting room. He's a smart, smart player, 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.079 plays great in the deep part of the field, can 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.480 tackle in the open field. And I think that they're 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.720 both of their mindsets and their IQ has been a great, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.640 great just mix, not only for those two but for 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.640 the entire room, for everybody else. They both keep me 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.360 on top of my game at all times. So it's 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.199 been great, blessed to have him at the cornerback position. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.240 Really a group that plays hard, that battles, how would 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.319 you kind of assess what you've seen through fifteen games? Uh, 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.280 we we only got one left here, but they're gonna 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.880 come out, they're gonna play hard. Obviously, it has been perfect, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:32.440 given up some plays, haven't made enough plays. We've obviously 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.079 been in a lot of these games, and I think 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.120 the biggest difference was just in that little stretch there 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.960 were not a little step five game stretch. We had 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.000 some opportunities to make plays we couldn't make them. And 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.760 then Hence you don't end up winning the game there 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.960 at the end of a couple of those. And I 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.960 would say this obviously when you look at the record, 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.040 and it's hard to say, like, yeah, it's panned out 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.480 the way we wanted it too. But I wouldn't ask 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.160 for anybody else out there right now. Those guys have 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.000 played hard. We needed to make some more plays and 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.959 we just didn't that stretch, And that's why I think 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.120 it was. It was great for us as a room 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:05.880 and for those players to go out there and make 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.880 some plays on Thursday night and help us win that game. 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.680 Let's talk about a couple of players, individuals. You can 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.640 kind of overview how they've played this year. Leotis, Yeah, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.800 he's done good. Um, he's obviously given up some plays 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.400 that obviously to play that he would want back and 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.080 we would all want back. Would be the one against 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.800 obviously Washington when it went over his head. He's done 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.680 a good job of competing all year. Obviously ended up 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.600 getting us back into that game after he gave that 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.720 one up with the pick six and then kind of 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.560 turn that game around Force gave us a chance at 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:39.000 the end. I like him. He's a smart cat. Works 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.880 hard every single day and we'll see where it goes 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.679 from there. But I'm pleased where he's at. Obviously, I 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.280 don't ever want to see a ball God's head for 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.760 a touchdown like that. But the best thing about him 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.040 is nothing, nothing affects him right back to the sideline. 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.120 By the time I got to him a minute later, 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.880 I said, hey, man, you just gotta let that go, 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.520 and he's like, I don't even know what you're talking about. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.679 And then he goes out there four plays later, ends 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.400 up picking a ball off or a touchdown. So I 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.040 think we all, obviously as we look back on it 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.319 could be better at some point during the season, but 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.439 he's done a good job, especially in the room and 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.679 helping everybody else. So how about No. One Carroll? No 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.600 One's battled all year good. I'm proud of him. It's 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.720 giving up some plays. He's just like everybody else, you know. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.760 I think we were just kind of inconsistent there at times. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.360 But I wouldn't want anybody else out there either than No. One. Obviously, 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.480 huge fourth down play there at the end of the game. 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.120 Would I'd like to seem that be the end of it. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:32.520 But we ended up going back out there and had 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.600 to make a play there obviously with Terrence Brooks at 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.400 the end, but no one's the same guy, you know him, 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.400 I mean, shows up every single day, doesn't matter what happens, works, grinds, 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.520 does what he can to get better every single day, 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.160 and again same as everybody else. Obviously'd love to see 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:47.680 him make some more places. Kind of defines what a 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.640 true professional is. It comes back from that injury and 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.679 really is there every day, right, blessed for all those 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.040 guys in that room. Blessed. Yeah. And then Jalen Mills, 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.920 who's played sixty plus percent of the snaps, has really 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.640 learned a lot for seventh round round big being thrown 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.600 into the fire. Yeah, I'm proud of him. I mean 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.720 he's grown every single day has been here obviously got 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.280 you know, expect when Brooks he got hurt, he got 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.840 thrust in there, never blinked. He has not been perfect 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.960 by any means, ended up playing outside with that rotation 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.959 that we've had with all three of those guys moving 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.120 in and out at corner. And then obviously Jay Lawkins 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.880 gets hurt. Um he's been taking snaps in practice still 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.520 at the nickel. Everyone not a lot, but some and 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.760 he hopped back out there, didn't even blank and went 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.000 back out there and played. So Jalon's grown up a 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.920 lot through this through obviously throughout the season, more experience 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.360 would get obviously it's the best thing for you. And 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.880 I see that he's got a high, high ceiling. I 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.520 think he's going to get better as he continues to go. 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:41.800 And I see him playing in this league for a 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.440 long time, year one to year two. For that young kid, 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.480 how important will that be. I mean he's got to 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:50.960 be wiped out after this, all this football he's played. Um, yeah, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.440 it'll be interesting to see how he goes. Biggest difference 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.760 obviously from the time frame wise and the rep I 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.560 mean we're playing for over twenty weeks, so that was 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.600 a huge adjustment for him. He didn't need a little 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.440 shock to his system there About halfway through you can 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.880 see he was kind of not hitting a wall, but like, wow, 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.280 we still got were halfway done. Yeah, But to get 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.440 through this season and then go into the off season 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.839 and not even talking about next year, but to be 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.800 in the off season program again and have done it 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.040 and played in this system, been through everything out I 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:22.800 mean showing up and going to work every single day, 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.120 taking care of your body. He'll be a different guy 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.480 next year, and obviously we hope he's better. Corey. One 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.679 game to go beat the Cowboys. Let's finish with a 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.040 little bit of a smile on her face.

Mike, what 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.880 catches drive San Francisco forty nine ers? How about that? 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.080 That's exciting the chip up? Maybe siting. Maybe the Chipper 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.680 comes to town if he's still there. Not an easy schedule. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.800 The Raiders, Yeah, Raiders big time rate team on the rise, 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:55.880 and they are really on the rise. They lost their 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.800 quarterback last week, but that is a very good football 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.760 team out there. I wonder are the state of the 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.000 Arizona Cardinals. Will Larry Fitzgerald be back? Will Carson Palmer 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:08.280 come back? Where are the Cardinals in twenty seventeen? Same? 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:13.280 I don't forget Bruce arians outstanding head coach. So even yeah, 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.800 they may Misfitzger and some of those guys that you mentioned, 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.160 but this guy is really good at replenishing and getting 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.080 guys to do what he needs them to do. All right, 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.000 opponents on the road for the Eagles, look at the 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.680 miles that this team will accrue. We've got trips out 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.480 to the Los Angeles Rams, We've got trips out to 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.360 we think the San Diego Chargers, so they could be 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:39.680 the Los Angeles Chargers, and trips to Seattle and Kansas 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.480 City and oh, by the way, Carolina waiting down there. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.640 Don't know the state at that is a brutal road schedule, 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.400 a lot of traveling, but you get to see Andy Reid. 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.920 Yeah yeah, go out on the West and I get 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.160 to go back to North Carolina. So I look forward 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.880 to that I kill about you, isn't it. Yeah, it's 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.760 all about personally. But the West Coast, that's a lot 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.160 of having. That's a lot, And I don't know if 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.560 you have. They've back to back West Coast games. Stay, 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.520 how you go out and stay for the week. I'm 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.960 lobbying for it. Anybody want to listen? How about play 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.240 all three of them out there and just stay for 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.080 a couple of weeks. Now that will be too much, 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.719 That will be too much. Okay, that's they look at 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:20.160 our upcoming schedule in twenty seventeen. The obviously the exact 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.439 times and dates will be announced right around the draft 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.440 in April of twenty seventeen. Now we take a look 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.800 at the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles, and instead 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.120 of digging deep into the Cowboys at thirteen and two, 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.280 we want to kind of just put the teams side 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:40.080 by side and compare. So let's go at the quarterback position. First. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:44.720 Cowboys love Dak Prescott, Eagles love Carson Wentz. They're very 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:49.000 comparable and Dak Prescott has such a great supporting cast. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.639 So I think it's unfair to compare or two, but 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.639 everything else equal, I think i'd take Carson Wentz. I 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.719 think people would agree. Now, running back a big question 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.200 mark for the Philadelphia Eagles, not so in Dallas. Mike, 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.000 what do you do it running back for this football team? 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.960 Are you talking about long term or are you talking 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.399 about Sunday talking about term? Long term? I think you 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.399 have to have a Bill cow I think you have 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.760 to have a featured running back and he is the 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.359 guy that you expect to get the ball eighty percent 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.960 at a time. Not this for tuning and having a 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.960 lot of different guys hold that position. Yes, you need 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.360 a changeup guy time to time, but I think at 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.240 the running back position, you need to have this one 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.480 thumper that you count on each and every week, and 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.320 he can actually be a three down back. Ezekiel Elliott, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.120 he's a three down back. He can catch the ball 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.880 out of the backfield, He protects when they needed to protect. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.800 I think going forward, that's the kind of guy. If 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.480 you look back in the history when this team was 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.040 really good, they had a Westbrook who could do it all. 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.040 They had a Duke Staley, a guy that could do 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.240 it all, and I just think that that's the way 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.240 to go. It's just that the Cowboys got Ezekiel Elliott 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.399 at the fourth pick overall, I mean vehicles use a 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.399 first round pick on the running back. The draft is 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.359 said to be very deep at the running back position. No, 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.400 I just think they have to be smart and they're 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.080 scouting and go out and find a guy who not 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.080 only has the ability to run the football, a guy 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.359 that's adorable, and a guy that you can use on 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.960 third downs. You don't have to bring him off the 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.480 field all the time on third downs. At wide receiver, 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.359 the Cowboys still getting it done with a good group 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.600 led by your number eighty eight, does Brian who's so terrific, 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.400 Cole Beasley out of the slot outstanding. The Eagles using 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.480 a lot of Jordan, Matthews, Mike And as you look forward, 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.560 how important is it to get that big time receiver here. 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.320 I think you need You need to assume one that's 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.119 going to scare the defense. And I don't think that 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.080 the Eagles have that. And I've said that over and 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.560 over that there's no guy on that rassa at that 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.120 position that you've got to worry about him when they 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.360 line up, when they break the huddle. They need that 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.919 guy because it's gonna make Jordan better. It's gonna make 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.359 the tight ends better. It's gonna make the situation for 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.679 Carson Wentz so much easier. If you've got a threat, 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.680 and you don't just have a threat, but you've got 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:00.879 to take shots down to fe you've got to spread 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.320 the defense out, and you only do that by taking 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.640 shots down the field and then at tight end. Zach 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.919 Ertz productive for the Eagles this season, a good threesome 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.320 with Ertz, with Trey Burton, with Brent Sellek. And for 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.640 the Cowboys they are still relying on Jason Witten, Mike 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:20.080 the Angels wonder big workhorse. How do you see those 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.879 two groups in twenty seventeen. Well, I don't know how 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.720 much longer. Jason Witten Scott, I don't. He doesn't really 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.399 threaten you down the middle of the field. So I 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.320
