WEBVTT - Eagles 360: December 14 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.120 We welcome you everyone. It's Eagles three sixty on this Wednesday. 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.200 David SPINNERO and the Hall of Famer Mike Quick. I'm 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.480 surrounded by Hall of famers all week. Lucky, I really am. 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.160 It's I need it. I need that kind of support. 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.720 Tough season, Mike, Eagles eight losses in the last ten games. 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.520 What you've gone through these kind of seasons. I hate 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.360 to bring it back to your memory here. Okay, what's 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:47.240 it like? It's not fun, but um, you're right. I've 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.959 been in this situation before where you really don't have 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.159 a lot to play for except the fact that you're 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.920 a professional, and you want to always put something good 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.680 out there on tape because none of these guys really 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.240 know where the next if they're going to be here 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.440 next year, some of them will know that, but they 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.160 don't know what the next episode in their football career is. 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.360 So you always want to put good tape out there, 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.760 and that's what they have to focus on playing their 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:16.080 best football still, and you do have pride when you 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.840 play this game at this level. You've made it this far. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.399 You have a lot of pride in what you do, 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.039 so that to me gives them enough and sentive to 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.360 play good football the last three games. Does it take 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.480 some of the joy out of the game, out of 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.320 the preparation. Do you curtail some of your preparation when 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.440 you know you're not going to be maybe in the playoffs. 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.320 I think it's only human nature that it's going to 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.360 take some of the joy out of the preparation. But 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.559 you still have to take pride and being a professional 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.280 and what you do. All right, we take pride in 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:43.959 a great show, and we've got a great one for 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.480 you here. We're gonna take a first look at the Ravens, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.440 Sunday's opponent in just a bit. But a busy day 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.000 at an overcare complex. Let's get your caught up with 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:56.720 everything happening. Alex Smith our three sixty update. Hi everyone, 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.080 I'm Alex Smith here with your three sixty update. The 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.800 Eagles back on the practice field today as they get 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.640 set for Sunday's game in Baltimore, the final road game 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.520 of the twenty and sixteen regular season for the Eagles. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.640 And today inside the locker room, we heard from right 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.919 guard Brandon Brooks, who has missed two out of the 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.960 last three games due to illness, and today Brooks explained 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.200 what that illness is once again. You know, it's a 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.320 it's an obsession. You know, I can't emphasize that enough. 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.639 It's not you know, nervousness of fear. I love the organization. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.320 Organization has been great. Um, they're supporting me with this. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.680 The head coach, my position, coach, Howe, everybody supported me. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:38.240 And you know I'll make it through. I'll be okay. UM, 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.840 you know, nothing too nothing I'm ashamed of um. You know. Uh, 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.320 I own it. Three games left to play here in 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.080 the regular season for this Eagles team, and today we 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.440 heard from some of the leaders inside the locker room 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.240 and at the podium on what they want to accomplish 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.200 here in the home stretch. I mean, as approaching as 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.400 you know, I'm I'm approch just approach as I do 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.919 every week, and I think you know that will help. 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.400 You know, I have to be a leader, you know, 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.320 have to keep the young guys going because if I'm 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.160 down and the young guys are looking at me and 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.400 they're gonna be down. You know. But what drives me 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.160 about this game is that you know, I mean, I 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.440 love it so much, and you know, winning and losing, 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.519 you have to go out and compete every game, and 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.760 we put so much into the season to lay down 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.640 or to you know, whatever you want to call it, 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.280 not show up these last three weeks is not an option. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.839 You know that We've got way too many, too many 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.959 guys with a lot of pride. Yeah. I think the 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.360 biggest thing is you realize every snap is crucial, you know, 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.080 and I think you realize how hard it is to 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.360 win in this league and to be consistent with that, 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.200 So you really just got to focus learn to focus 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.880 in on every play and um, you know, forget about 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.160 the previous play and just take them all one play 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:47.840 at a time. And I think that's a big thing 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.800 for for us all to learn. We're going out there 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.360 these last three games to win each and everyone. We 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.760 know the season hasn't played out the way we envisioned 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.000 to going into the season, but we also feel like 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.240 we get in this season on, I know, and build 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.680 some momentum, go into next year and we'll close things 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.240 out here. With an injury update, four Eagles did not 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.320 practice today. That's Alan Barber, Darren Sproles, Jordan Matthews, and 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.520 Hallapoolavadi v type well for anything that you may have missed, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.640 from inside the locker room. You can stay right here 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.840 on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and the official Eagles mobile app. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.400 Thank you so much, Alex. We've got much to get 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.680 to here on Eagles three sixty. Today we'll take our 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.680 first look at the Ravens. We'll talk about some of 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.479 the numbers of the story of the season, of the 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.279 loss to the Washington Redskins. But when we returned to 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:36.600 Eagles three sixty, Ken Flagel Eagles linebackers coach in studio. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.120 We've scrutinized this linebackers group quite a bit throughout the season. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:47.839 How are they playing? We'll find out next. Their legend 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.640 is legendary. They've seen the end zone more often than 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.800 any other duo in history. They are professional football player. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.800 Watches become a pro fan only with affinity swamp caller 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:18.520 like today, with simply right checking from sun time their bank. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.159 Just make one deposit, withdraw, transfer or payment each month 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.880 to wait the monthly fee and there's no minimum balance. 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.560 You're all right, it's simply right checking from the sun 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:38.240 time their bank. You say crazy, I say crafted, You 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:44.560 say savage. I say practiced, crazy, crafted, savage practice. Let's 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:49.920 run that whole thing back. You say unbelievable, I say achievable. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:56.159 You say incredible. I say inevitable. Unbelievable, achievable, incredible, inevitable. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:00.240 Let's run that whole thing back harps to compete, lect 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:06.200 your life. To replenis be noisy, be silent, be near, 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:12.480 be far, be joyful, be together, celebrate joy with Duncan's 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.560 Holiday flavored coffees, espressos and donuts America runs on Duncan. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.719 We are talking linebackers and joining me as linebackers coach 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.440 Ken Flagel Baltimore Ravens waiting on Sunday. Ken, let's talk 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.680 about the status of your group. What have you seen 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:36.800 through thirteen weeks across the board. Well, we have been fortunate. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.799 We haven't had any injuries. That's been a big part 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.280 of I think continuing to grow at our position. But 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.599 you know, we've had incremental improvement. You know, I think 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.400 we were getting a little bit better and that's the 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.240 that's the key for us. I think it's to be 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.039 a little bit better than where we started at the 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.560 beginning of the year and continue to build this thing 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.120 and see if we can get playing at a consistently 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.320 high level. I wondered about Jordan's going from three four 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.359 to four to three, not the biggest guy in the world, 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.200 not a thumper. How has he done and what's kind 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.400 of been the key to his success? Well, I think 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.680 he's done a great job for so far, Dave. I mean, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.160 I've been very pleased with Jordan. There's a lot of 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.800 management type things that we put on his plate from 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.000 a game to game standpoint, you know, in terms of 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.400 knowing the game plan and audibling in and out of 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.680 things for us. He's embraced it. He's a smart, bright guy, 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.280 and you know, probably one of the strengths of his 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.360 game has been the fact that I think he's got 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.040 a great mental approach to it. He studies hard, He's 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.360 very professional that way, and I think that probably gives 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.240 him a leg up and or an edge. Is there 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.680 a prototype size for a middle linebacker in the NFL NA, 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.880 I don't think he ever put you know, you'd put 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.600 people in boxes that way. I've seen some guys that 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.800 have been very small that have been great players, and 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.720 I've seen guys that have been very big that you know, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.720 you thought would be thumpers and they weren't. So I 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.520 don't know if there's a box you can put him in. 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.960 But you know, Jordan's got an adequate amount of size, speed, 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.600 but he's he's got excellent intellect and I think that's 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.880 what really is going to carry him through. On the 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.840 strong side, Nigel Bradham comes from Buffalo into Jim's defense. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.400 Pay he's done a nice job for us, you know. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.680 He certainly when we started out the season, I think 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.360 was a little further along mentally because he had exposure 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.000 in this defense. I don't think there were a lot 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.280 of things, the calls and the adjustments. I don't think 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.320 there were a lot of things that caught him by surprise. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.280 And Nigel's done a nice job for us. You know, 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.040 he's a physical player. I think he really enjoys the 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.480 contact part of the sport and he gives us a 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.480 little bit of a swagger in our group. So we've 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.719 been pleased with Nigel and glad that he's with us. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.520 How about Michael Kendricks who has had reps, has not 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.200 had reps, How's he played well? Mike's role certainly has 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.880 changed a little bit from a year ago, as everybody knows, 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.720 but he's been our starter in our base package. And 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.280 Mike's done a nice job. You know. As you know, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.600 in this league, not a lot of people get into 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:59.240 what we would consider to be packages offensive personnel packages 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.920 that allow you to play a lot of bass. So 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.960 Mike hasn't gotten a lot of snaps. And that's not 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.920 Mike's fault. It's really more of a reflection of what 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.240 type of personnel groups we face on Sunday. You know, 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:13.080 most people are in three wides, probably sixty to seventy 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.640 percent of the time, and that forces us to play 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:20.440 nicol and so again it limits his opportunities to be 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.080 on the field. But when he's gone in on our 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.800 bass package, he's done a nice job. Because you've been 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.880 so healthy. We haven't seen much of Stephen Tullock. We 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.679 haven't seen Camu Grugier Hill. The fans kind of want 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.800 to know about those players. What have you seen from them? 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.520 What do we know about those players? Well, we've gotten 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.560 you know, a couple other guys. You know, Stephen Tulleck 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.840 comes in and what we call our extra backer package, 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.920 which is a short yardage package where we have four 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:48.679 linebackers on the field. And again, he's the consummate professional, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.720 he's an older guy, he's the statesman, the elder statesman 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.240 of the group. But he brings a real professional approach 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.040 to his work. He works hard, he understands, he's been 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.680 around the game a long time, and he's done a 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.160 nice job. He's a great addition for our room. Really 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.719 happy to have Steven with us. Then Naja Good has 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.520 been with us, and Naja again continues. You know, he's 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.880 a backup in our base, in our sub package, and 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.480 he does a nice job, has a real important role 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.640 on special teams for coach Fipps. So he's done a 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.559 nice job for us. And then Camu, you know, really 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.640 has helped us a lot on special teams. And he 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.240 kind of came in really after training camp was over 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.160 at the beginning of the season, so getting him assimilated 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.920 in our defense playing catchup was a little tougher for him. 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.640 But he's done a nice job and again, I know 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:35.160 he's important on our special teams package. It's Baltimore on Sunday. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.640 They play acts and they're physical, they're big upfront. I 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.559 mean you know that we watched them play against the 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.360 New England Patriots on Monday night. They are a scrappy 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:49.040 veteran bunch. Tell me about that offensive challenges well, they've 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.559 got a veteran quarterback, as you know, Joe Flacco's very accomplished, 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.480 been to the Super Bowl one it, so I don't 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.640 think any game is too big for him. They've got 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.240 good skill at the wide receiver position, you know, Mike 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.000 Wallace that they acquired in the offseason, Steve Smith. I 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.640 was with Stephen at Caroline of talented receiver. Competitive. You know, 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.560 he's a small guy, but he plays much much bigger 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.920 than his size would allow. And again, big physical offensive front. 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.520 Got good skill at the tight end position, Dennis pitt 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.079 Us back after an injury, very good, capable pass catching 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.520 tight end. And they're solid in the running game. And 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.920 I think that compliments probably the fact that they're so 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.200 good on defense too, you know. I mean they've they've 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.960 played to their strength, which has been their defense, and 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.079 they're very They're decent on offense, and they move the ball. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.760 Sounds like you got a fun challenge. Every week's a 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.320 new challenge, and there's no there's no bad challenges in 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.760 this league.

Dave Spadero, Mike Quick et Eagles 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.839 three sixty Time now to take a look at the 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:32.960 Eagles upcoming schedule, presented by NFL Ticket Exchange powered by Ticketmaster. 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.600 For the only one verified way to buy or sell 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:42.320 NFL tickets, visit NFL ticket exchange dot com. Down the 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.400 stretch we come, Mike. The final road game of the 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:48.600 season in Baltimore to home games, Uh, let's talk about 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.040 the schedule. Is what the schedule is? We see it. 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.160 I predict a win on Sunday, not surprisingly. I love 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:56.920 it going out on a limb here. I love it. 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.960 Watch the Ravens on Monday night. They look very good, 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.480 but I think Eagles will take them. They're good football. Yeah, 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.439 and then the NFC East comes into town. Your your 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.080 view of the NFC East this season. The NFC East, 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.240 and my mind is still kind of up for grabs. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.840 I know the Cowboys are way out front, but if 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.640 you look at it, the Giants could catch them. The 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.800 Giants could actually win the NFC East. They won't, but 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.440 it's possible. I think the Redskins are the best team 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.400 in the division. You do. I like that offense? You 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.280 know what? I like that? You think that because I 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.160 know the NFC East. It's back, it's really, it is really, 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.120 it's solid. It's good. You've got three teams that could 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.960 beat anybody in the National Football League in the NFC East, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.560 and the Redskins are playing well right now. But I 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.040 still think that the Dallas Cowboys are the best team 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.400 in the NFC East. I think they're not. That's all right. 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:53.320 I think they're frauds. It has nothing to do with 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.440 the way I hate the Cowboys. I just hate the 0:14:55.440 --> 0:15:00.360 Cowboys every all right, Let's talk about the Baltimore as 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.720 a team that is well. We think headed to the playoffs. Mike, 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.080 They're really good, and it starts at the quarterback position. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:10.360 I've never considered Joe Flacco an elite quarterback. Your thoughts 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.520 on him. I don't think he's elite. But what Joe 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.800 Flacco is, he's a good quarterback. He's a solid quarterback. 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.960 And when he's got enough weapons around him, when he's 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.280 got the supporting cast, and he has that because they 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.400 have a running game. Terrence West can run the football. 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.720 He's got good receivers on the outside, Dennis Pittott one 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.640 of the better tight ends in the league. So he's 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.800 got a lot of good stuff around him, and they've 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.760 got a good offensive line. They can run the ball, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.520 they can control the clock, they can control the game. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.320 How about Carson Wentz on Sunday against Washington. I know 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.520 you've watched that game. How do you play? He played great. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.120 I thought he played his best football and he just 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.040 needed a little bit more out of his supporting cast. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.600 And I thought that he could have won in that 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.360 last drive day. All he needed was a little bit 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.440 more from his offensive line, and Carson Wentz was going 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.240 to pull that football game out. I think going forward, 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.040 we're going to see a lot of games like that 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.960 where Carson's able to pull the game out because he's 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.520 got a little bit better support. As we moved to 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.560 the running backs in this game, Mike mentioned Terrence West, 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.880 who's had a solid season for the Eagles or for 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.520 the Ravens. For the Eagles, Ryan Matthews has been in 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.760 and out of the lineup. Mike, And as we talk 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.800 big picture here, how much do you think running back 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.720 is a need for this football team. You have to 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.280 run the football International Football League, so you have to 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.240 have a solid running back. You have to have a 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.480 guy that you can count on weekend and week out, 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.480 that he's gonna be there. He's gonna give you a 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.080 solid performance. And I don't know if having these multiple 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.280 backs and backs running in and off the field is 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.320 the way to do it. I think you need a 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.680 guy who's that bell cout, that guy that you're going 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.480 to be able to give the balls who twenty times 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.480 a game and count on that guy. That's my person. 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.360 I agree with you wide receiver George Matthews having a 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.560 good season. In this game, we will see Steve Smith, 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:03.800 the relic who is just so productive, so energetic, such 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.720 a crafty veteran. Mike you you are a former wide 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.560 receiver and analyze Steve Smith for me. I have to say, 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.760 I love the way Steve Smith plays the game. He's 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.280 one of the toughest guys. You know, he's a small guy, 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.439 but he thinks he's the toughest guy on the field. 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.960 And I like that in a wide receiver catches the 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.240 ball well still at this late stage in his career, 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.640 runs really well. He's always been fast and just one 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.080 of the toughest guys on the field. Just love the 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.840 way this guy plays. He'll compete, He's going to challenge 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.800 anybody on the field, and as a wide receiver, you're 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:37.879 out wide, you're away from all of the action. But 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.399 you really have to be a tough mental guy to 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.760 play the position, and I think he's as tough as 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.360 any Hall of Famer. I don't know if he's Hall 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.159 of Famer worthy, but he is one of the elite 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.800 receivers in the game. Okay, at tight end, the Eagles 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.360 really getting a lot of production again here from zach Ertz. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.040 That is good to see. And Mike, we always wait, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:02.159 Glenn mcnaw and I talk about this yesterday, waiting to 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.639 see Zach take the next step. Has he taken the 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.040 next step? Well, I think Zach takes the next step 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.680 when the team as a whole takes the next step, 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.200 when they've got the right receivers on the outset, when 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:20.040 they've got the offensive line, and as your young quarterback progresses, 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.159 I think that's going to happen. I just think that 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.800 all the things that's happened with the transition from the 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.920 previous coaching staff to this coaching staff, I don't think 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.960 any of that helps the production of Zach Ertz and 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.000 his growth as a receiver as a tight end receiver 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:36.879 in this league, and Eagles will have to rely on 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.200 him quite a bit against the Baltimore defense fourth in 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.560 the league in many categories here, including points allowed. They 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.919 are awesome at home. I wonder if you're putting this 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.679 game plan together, Doug Peterson, Frank Reich, what are you 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.080 trying to do? Well? You don't run the football against 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.439 that defense. They just don't allow anyone to run the 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.359 football effectively. Though you have to run it just so 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.680 that they don't tee off on your passing game. You've 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.800 got to have a little play action mixed into it, 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.919 but you really have to get your passing game going. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.080 And I think you throw the football to set up 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.560 the run against a team like this because they're so 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.000 dynamic upfront. They're front seven. They're as good as any 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.880 in the National Football League. Good number one and stopping 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.400 the run, and you have to be able to throw 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.760 the football. There's that's the only weakness that you see 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:26.640 when you look at that team as a whole. So 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.119 with an offensive line that is in a state of 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.640 flux here, yes, drop back, get it out quickly, get 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.600 it out quickly, little play action moving the pocket. You 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.359 don't want to have Corson Wentz sitting back in the pocket. 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.479 You want to move that pocket so that he's on 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.760 the move, so that you can get close to the 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.480 receiver on the outside and make those easy throws at 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.800 pitch and catch kind of stuff. Absolutely all right. That 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.199 is our first look and a deep one at the 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:54.440 Baltimore Ravens the opponents on Sunday one o'clock kickoff in Baltimore. 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.240 When we return to Eagles three sixty, we're gonna go 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.040 away from the words and we're gonna go into the 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.320 numbers are st That's only segment with Alex Smith comes 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.040 up next.
