Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It's Eagles three sixty on this Tuesday from
Speaker 1: the Novacare Complex. Dave SPIDERO, Glenn mac now and we
Speaker 1: begin the show talking about the news that came down
Speaker 1: in the morning. It is official offensive tackle Lane Johnson
Speaker 1: suspended for ten games for violating the NFL's Performance Enhancing
Speaker 1: Policy drug policy. It is not a surprise to the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. It's not a surprise to us, It's not
Speaker 1: a surprise to you. Johnson had his appeal heard last
Speaker 1: week at the league offices. That appeal denied. The suspension
Speaker 1: takes place immediately, and he is not eligible, Glenn to
Speaker 1: be around the football team, to contact the football team
Speaker 1: until after the Eagles play the Baltimore Ravens in December. Thus,
Speaker 1: Johnson available for the final two regular season games against
Speaker 1: the Giants and Dallas Cowboys, and the not being able
Speaker 1: to be around the team, as you say, is a
Speaker 1: big factor because you want him to be able to
Speaker 1: come back and play those last two what we think
Speaker 1: will be very important division games heading into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But you don't work out with the team, You've got
Speaker 1: to work out on your own. It's tough to stay
Speaker 1: in shape if you're on your own. Schemes may change.
Speaker 1: It's a real kick. We knew it was coming, as
Speaker 1: you said today, but it is a real kick in
Speaker 1: the pants for this team. Yeah, now that it is official,
Speaker 1: you understand the implications and how much of a challenge
Speaker 1: it is for an offensive line that has played outstanding football,
Speaker 1: and Johnson has played the best football of his NFL
Speaker 1: career in these first four games. But he has gone.
Speaker 1: The Eagles have some options, and we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about the ripple effect of losing Lane Johnson for much
Speaker 1: of this show. Let's get you caught up with what's
Speaker 1: happening with the Eagles concerning Lane Johnson. No media availability
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, but in recent weeks head coach Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: has talked about the right tackle situation should Johnson get suspended.
Speaker 1: No surprise for the Eagles, who are considering all of
Speaker 1: their options. Let's go to our three sixty update with
Speaker 1: Alex Smith. Hi, everyone, I'm Alex Smith here with your
Speaker 1: three sixty update. The big news here at the Novicare
Speaker 1: Complex is that starting right tackle Lane Johnson, after a
Speaker 1: length the appeal process, has indeed been suspended ten games
Speaker 1: by the NFL due to a violation of the league's
Speaker 1: performance enhancing drug policy. Now, last week we heard from
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson who explained what the plan would be if
Speaker 1: Johnson was suspended, and while some earlier thoughts were that
Speaker 1: left guard Alan barber would move over to the right side,
Speaker 1: the plan may actually be to start rookie fifth round
Speaker 1: pick Hollapoolavati Vitai on the right side and keep Barber
Speaker 1: on the left. It is true. It's something that we've
Speaker 1: you know, talking with coached and watching Big V closely,
Speaker 1: not only through preseason, but you know, in in practices
Speaker 1: these last couple of weeks. M you know, again, we
Speaker 1: want to exhaust all the possibilities. And you know, Alan
Speaker 1: Barberie has been playing great at left guard, and if
Speaker 1: you if you don't have to disrupt two positions and
Speaker 1: just do one, I think, you know, there's some conversation
Speaker 1: there that we got to have. But but yeah, he's
Speaker 1: definitely definitely in the mix. So a ten game suspension
Speaker 1: for Lane Johnson means that he would not be eligible
Speaker 1: to return two game action until the Eagles Week sixteen
Speaker 1: matchup against the New York Giants, and he would also
Speaker 1: be able to play in the week's seventeen finale against
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. But if Vitai is indeed the next
Speaker 1: man up at that right tackle spot, the rookie fifth
Speaker 1: round pick says that he's ready to go thanks to
Speaker 1: some advice that he's received from the veterans around him.
Speaker 1: Go I get ready, he announced my job. I gotta
Speaker 1: step up. We gotta be the next man up. You know,
Speaker 1: they pen up, but they depend on I mean, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the do everything I got, getting in
Speaker 1: every watching Lane and Jason Peters and then give him
Speaker 1: me tips on how to stop these guys. You know,
Speaker 1: Jason Peter's time he gets to my spot, Bean's fasten.
Speaker 1: You can you can be sure that Coach Peterson will
Speaker 1: address the Lane Johnson situation further during his press conference tomorrow.
Speaker 1: That's at ten thirty right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot
Speaker 1: com and on Facebook Live now. The Eagles also made
Speaker 1: two changes to the practice squad this afternoon. You can
Speaker 1: get full details on that right here on Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot Com and the official Eagles mobile app. Thanks so much,
Speaker 1: Alex Well, Glen. We've got a lot to talk about
Speaker 1: in the show. It's about the right tackle situations about
Speaker 1: how it impacts the entire offense. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: the quarterback has only started four games in his career, Yes,
Speaker 1: and he started those games with pretty good protection. The
Speaker 1: offensive line has really helped Parson Wentz succeed as he succeeded.
Speaker 1: Now with all the questions at right tackle, the ripple
Speaker 1: effect is how does it affect him, the protection, the
Speaker 1: run game, everything else. How does it affect the past game?
Speaker 1: Are they going to be able to Are they going
Speaker 1: to be forced to have Brent selling in their blocking
Speaker 1: much of the time? And I suspect they will day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we are going to talk about that. Eagles three
Speaker 1: sixty marches on as the Eagles prepare for their first
Speaker 1: NFC East game of this season. We'll be back in
Speaker 1: just a moment to discuss the wide ranging impact of
Speaker 1: losing Lane Johnson for the next ten games. This portion
Speaker 1: of Eagles three sixty was presented by Apple Vacations joined

Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. David Glenn here discussing the impact of
Speaker 1: the Lane Johnson suspension as it pertains to the entire offense.
Speaker 1: Now there are options, as Alex Smith described into three
Speaker 1: sixty update, Let's go with the premise that Hallopoli vitai
Speaker 1: Vieti Hallo polivadi Vyeti gets the call at right tackle.
Speaker 1: Right has everybody throughout this week looks at his name
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper and tries to get it
Speaker 1: down Halla polivodi viti big v Yes, if he starts
Speaker 1: at right tackle, what does it mean, Well, it means
Speaker 1: that you only has to disrupt twenty percent of your
Speaker 1: offensive line as opposed to forty percent if you move
Speaker 1: over Barber and then you decide that you're also then
Speaker 1: you got to move in Wiznowski. You're really changing two
Speaker 1: fifths of the line. I'd rather and I think they'd
Speaker 1: rather change one fifth if they can. You put the
Speaker 1: kid in. You see, if he can survive, you have
Speaker 1: Brent Selleck help him out on that side, and you
Speaker 1: know that's where you are. He's daily, he's a project.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a fifth round pick. I don't think
Speaker 1: they expected him to play this year. Now he's forced
Speaker 1: to do it well that they didn't expect the quarterback
Speaker 1: to play this year either, So maybe it'll be the
Speaker 1: same kind of but he was the second orall pick
Speaker 1: of the draft. And a disclaimer here because we have
Speaker 1: not seen. The media not permitted to watch practice during
Speaker 1: the season, so we have not seen Vyeti make his
Speaker 1: practice progress. You know, we have not seen him, and
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles would not force Vieti into this
Speaker 1: situation as a starter should that be the case. Now
Speaker 1: they've worked with them practice. They knew about Lane Johnson
Speaker 1: back in August, so they've had a couple of months
Speaker 1: here to get their scenarios straight and consider their options.
Speaker 1: And if they insert Viety, it's because Jeff Stalin believes
Speaker 1: that he can do the job now. Game number one
Speaker 1: FedEx Field Ryan Kerrigan the open of the NFC East. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not the environment that Big Big played at in
Speaker 1: TCU when he played in the spread offense and not
Speaker 1: the NFC and not as lowed to stadium. And it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough assignment for him with Carrigan breathing
Speaker 1: right over him. And I think the big challenge for
Speaker 1: him is going to be to not get motion penalties,
Speaker 1: don't jump early, stay calm, be there. If he's able
Speaker 1: to do that, to me, that's half the battle. It
Speaker 1: also means as things go on that Jason Peters is
Speaker 1: going to have to stay healthy and play well because,
Speaker 1: as we said, the ripple effects down the entire line
Speaker 1: are there. So you're gonna have to get big play
Speaker 1: from him. You're gonna have to get good play from Kelsey.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to have guys you can rely on
Speaker 1: right and Matt Tobin would be the backup left tackle
Speaker 1: should something happen with Peters. And it will also impact
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, who, along with Jason Kelsey, calls the protections
Speaker 1: and if you see a defense overloading on the right
Speaker 1: side of the offensive line, then you've got to slide
Speaker 1: your protection that way. So it's a bit more of
Speaker 1: a mental challenge for Wenz, who has not certainly had
Speaker 1: any problems with a mental part of his game. No,
Speaker 1: everything's been new to him, and everything he's been able
Speaker 1: to ace with flying colors. This is one more challenge
Speaker 1: for the kid and Dave, based on what I've seen
Speaker 1: in the first four games from him, I have confidency
Speaker 1: he can pass any testy guests. Now. It also impacts,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, Brent Sellek, who in effect could become
Speaker 1: a sixth offensive lineman here Yeah, they're they're gonna do
Speaker 1: that a lot, or they're gonna have to keep in
Speaker 1: Matthews to block or something like that. It certainly reduces
Speaker 1: your offensive options and you're gonna have to figure out
Speaker 1: how to work with that. So it's a big challenge
Speaker 1: for the Eagles. There are no gimmes when you look
Speaker 1: at the rest of this schedule, as we will later
Speaker 1: in the week. I mean, it is a tough schedule.
Speaker 1: It's Washington this week, it's the great defense of the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings a week later. So yet right VIETI will
Speaker 1: have to be really reducing that learning curve very quickly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: doing it fast. Son, You're starting be ready. So you
Speaker 1: said this in the first secon, going you expected it,
Speaker 1: but it's still really kind of hits you in the
Speaker 1: gut right now. Yeah, it does because and I know
Speaker 1: the Eagles loss of Detroit, but they were playing well,
Speaker 1: the offensive line was playing well. You're really building for something.
Speaker 1: Injuries happen in the NFL and you can't project those.
Speaker 1: But when you lose a guy on something that's not
Speaker 1: an injury for ten games, that's a real kicking up
Speaker 1: in the pants and no pay for Lane Johnson his
Speaker 1: second suspension in his NFL career. Another suspension, well that
Speaker 1: would mean a two year absence from the NFL. So really,
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson has to figure out the decisions that he's
Speaker 1: making and they are impacting the Philadelphia Eagles and certainly
Speaker 1: his career as well. So we've got about to get
Speaker 1: to here on Eagles three sixty, a look at the
Speaker 1: NFC East in just a bit. But when we return
Speaker 1: to Eagles three sixty, head coach Doug Peterson in studio
Speaker 1: prior to the news of Lane Johnson's suspension. He'll address
Speaker 1: that on Wednesday. But Doug interest and joins me in
Speaker 1: studio to talk about the Eagles, and they bounce back
Speaker 1: here getting ready for the NFC schedule against the Washington Redskins.

Speaker 1: the studio, headco Doug Peterson. The Eagles three in one
Speaker 1: in a very tight NFC East and the Washington Redskins
Speaker 1: wait on Sunday. And you've been a veteran here of
Speaker 1: the NFC East Wars. What is a division game like?
Speaker 1: It's It's intense um. The week is a little bit
Speaker 1: different from a preparation standpoint. Um, you know, in order
Speaker 1: to give yourself an opportunity for the postseason, you got
Speaker 1: to handle your division. And this is our first, first
Speaker 1: opportunity this weekend. And what do you what do you
Speaker 1: make of this team just from a very cursory standpoint
Speaker 1: center you're not deep into them yet. Well, they've got
Speaker 1: a great personnel on both sides of the ball. You know,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins I think as a quarterback is a very
Speaker 1: efficient guy. You think he's playing playing a little bit
Speaker 1: better now and he's got some confident Defensively, they're playing
Speaker 1: extremely well. And you know, uh, Josh Norman over there,
Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy that uh you know, uh
Speaker 1: commands a lot of attention. I don't know where he's
Speaker 1: at and if he's matching or staying on his side
Speaker 1: and just different things that way. And Karragan is a
Speaker 1: guy that we know from from years past that can
Speaker 1: rush the passer and and do some do some great
Speaker 1: things there. So, um, they got speed Deshaun you know,
Speaker 1: you didn't know a little bit about him and what
Speaker 1: he can do and his his threat down the field.
Speaker 1: So this is another good test for us as a
Speaker 1: as a as a as a team, as a football team.
Speaker 1: It's another road test, second one in a row. Um,
Speaker 1: and uh, in order, like I said, in order to
Speaker 1: have a have a you know, an opportunity late in
Speaker 1: the year, you got to handle your division. You came
Speaker 1: out of Detroit, I would characterize after the game disappointed
Speaker 1: by the loss, but encouraged by a lot of the
Speaker 1: things that you saw. Do you after you watched all
Speaker 1: the films, you still feel encouraged about some of the
Speaker 1: things you saw. I still do. I like the fact
Speaker 1: that even though all the adversity that hit us during
Speaker 1: this football game, our team was able to rally. Uh.
Speaker 1: They were a resilient group. There was no panic on
Speaker 1: the sideline coaches and players, and put ourselves in a
Speaker 1: position to take the lead in this football game late
Speaker 1: in the game and still with an opportunity to win it.
Speaker 1: And um, A lot of a lot of good things
Speaker 1: came out of this game on both sides, really all
Speaker 1: three phases, you know, I thought Caleb Sturgis, I mean,
Speaker 1: he kicked the ball extremely well, the three big kicks
Speaker 1: there for us, and especially the one before half, and
Speaker 1: a lot of positives. And so this is a game
Speaker 1: that the players when they watch it and they look
Speaker 1: at it, don't hang your heads over it. Learn from it,
Speaker 1: and let's get better this week. Not that you wanted
Speaker 1: it to happen, but it was going to happen at
Speaker 1: some point that Carson Wentz would be staring at two
Speaker 1: touchdown deficit in the face. How did he respond in
Speaker 1: the huddle and then communicating with you, Well, he responded
Speaker 1: obviously very well. And you know it was my job
Speaker 1: too as a play caller not to get overly aggressive
Speaker 1: with calls to still stick with the game plan. Felt
Speaker 1: like we had the ability to run the ball as well,
Speaker 1: and you'd lie some play action pass for him, and
Speaker 1: and we just methodically, you know, worked ourselves into into
Speaker 1: into into this football game and down fourteen nothing in
Speaker 1: fourteen seven, twenty one seven, you know eventually twenty one
Speaker 1: ten a half time to score before the half and
Speaker 1: to score coming out of the of the of the
Speaker 1: locker room. I think of those ten points where we're
Speaker 1: crucial to to us getting ourselves back into the football game,
Speaker 1: and the Carson being a big part of that. Um
Speaker 1: made some made some nice tough throws, some good decisions.
Speaker 1: You know, protection was good, and then the ability to
Speaker 1: run the ball obviously gave us an opportunity to get
Speaker 1: back in this football game. I would imagine you were
Speaker 1: a bit disappointed at twenty one seventeen down you get
Speaker 1: to turnover in Detroit territory, came away with three rather
Speaker 1: than seven. Yeah, you'd really like to get the touchdown there,
Speaker 1: especially after a turnover that deep in in in their
Speaker 1: territory and in the red zone, and that was just unfortunate.
Speaker 1: We had a shot there one to Nelson, won to
Speaker 1: DGB and and um, you know, just came up a
Speaker 1: little bit short right there, but but ultimately got some
Speaker 1: points that got us a little bit closer in the
Speaker 1: football game. But but uh, you know overall, um pleased
Speaker 1: with number one, the defense getting the turnover and then
Speaker 1: you know, offensively getting points. After that, where do you
Speaker 1: go with the offense? Doug quarter of the season, You're
Speaker 1: what do you want to see better? What are you
Speaker 1: pleased with? Well, you know, there's a lot of positive
Speaker 1: uh you know, obviously the fact that uh uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Carson playing as well as he is, he's really utilizing
Speaker 1: his strengths and and his his ability to run. You
Speaker 1: saw him run the football a little bit more in
Speaker 1: the Detroit game. We want to want to kind of
Speaker 1: keep that theme going a little bit with him because
Speaker 1: I think, I think when you get in tough situations,
Speaker 1: when you can utilize him as a runner, becomes becomes important. Um,
Speaker 1: you know. And then and then just keep keep coming
Speaker 1: with with our with our passing game. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: putting guys in different it's good to have all three
Speaker 1: tight ends out there. I think it created some some
Speaker 1: matchup uh scenarios for for us and for for defenses.
Speaker 1: And and then defensively, I mean, you know, we had
Speaker 1: opportunities even in this game to get get our hands
Speaker 1: on the ball again and and we got the one turnover,
Speaker 1: but but we almost had an interception again. So you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good that we need to just
Speaker 1: keep keep harping on and eliminate some mistakes, keep the
Speaker 1: game plan simple for our guys to execute, and and uh,
Speaker 1: and just go play hard deck. How would you say
Speaker 1: us the defense after four games playing extremely well. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it took him a little bit in this
Speaker 1: Detroit game to kind of settle into the game, but
Speaker 1: once they did, you saw the firepower and the aggression
Speaker 1: that that they can, uh, they can impose, and and
Speaker 1: they're they're they're getting they're getting hands on the ball,
Speaker 1: they're creating turnovers, they're getting after the quarterback, sacking the quarterback.
Speaker 1: I mean they what you saw in the second half
Speaker 1: is indicative of what our defense can do and what
Speaker 1: they what they've done all season long, and we just
Speaker 1: got to keep building on that. What do you expect
Speaker 1: when this team really digs into it Wednesday and Thursday
Speaker 1: getting ready for the Washington Redskins. I have no doubt
Speaker 1: in my mind this group will be focused. They'll be
Speaker 1: laser focused. They'll be ready to get back out on
Speaker 1: the practice field. You know, we don't play the game
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Obviously, it's going to take another hard week
Speaker 1: of preparation and study and practice and and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: but but I think this group is going to come
Speaker 1: back and they're going to be ready to get back
Speaker 1: on the field come Wednesday. I guess you'll learn a
Speaker 1: lot about a team when you go through a tough game,
Speaker 1: a tough loss like Detroit. You do you do and
Speaker 1: you want to see, you know, who your leaders are
Speaker 1: going to be, how your team is going to react. Um,
Speaker 1: And I saw it. I saw it all the way,
Speaker 1: you know, even flying home. You know, the guys were
Speaker 1: on their iPads watching the watching the game, you know,
Speaker 1: making the corrections and just watching, watching the whole the
Speaker 1: whole thing unfold. And that, to me, that's the sign
Speaker 1: of a good football team, that that they're into it
Speaker 1: that way. And and they were. They were mad. I
Speaker 1: mean they were, they were more so they were more
Speaker 1: mad than they were like just dejected. I mean we're
Speaker 1: all dejected, but I mean they were. They were ticked
Speaker 1: off and that they let this one slide again with
Speaker 1: all the adversity that we that we faced in the game. Um.
Speaker 1: And so that's why this week I think there won't
Speaker 1: be any extra motivation. They'll be motivated themselves. Well, thank
Speaker 1: you so much, Doug. Good luck on Sunday against Washington
Speaker 1: and beat the Redskins. Introducing Duncan's new cool Brew Coffee

Speaker 1: One year ago, everyone making fun of the NFC. Least
Speaker 1: nobody is doing that now, Glenn, We're here to talk
Speaker 1: about the NFC East presented by Bob's discount furniture. Or
Speaker 1: look around the division and I would call the NFC
Speaker 1: beast in twenty sixteen. How about that two premature. You
Speaker 1: may want to slow that role just a little. I mean,
Speaker 1: the division is better than people projected in, better than
Speaker 1: it was last year, but long way to goin. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about it from top to bottom, and we begin
Speaker 1: it on the Dallas top. The Dallas Cowboys are playing
Speaker 1: outstanding football here. With a tough game against the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, they were very impressive against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: The quarterback Dak Prescott continues to play nearly flawless football.
Speaker 1: They running back Ezekiel Elliott leads the NFL in ground yards,
Speaker 1: the offensive line getting its act together, getting it healthy,
Speaker 1: and the defense Glenn has played surprisingly well. It has well.
Speaker 1: You covered most of it, but I'll throw you a
Speaker 1: few things, and all of that is true. The thing.
Speaker 1: The thing is the offense is doing well and getting
Speaker 1: off to early leads and that's helping the defense a lot.
Speaker 1: And one of the things the Cowboys are doing to
Speaker 1: help that mediocre defense is their second in the league
Speaker 1: in time of possession, second to the Eagles, by the way,
Speaker 1: and that with the early leads puts the defense in
Speaker 1: a good position. Their secondary, which was really seen as
Speaker 1: their week spot I think still may be, has now
Speaker 1: played against all Sean Jeffrey AJ Green and Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: Junior without allowing a touchdown pass or a hundred yard game.
Speaker 1: Pretty good pretty surprised. I didn't expect to see any
Speaker 1: of that from this team. But the Cowboys give them
Speaker 1: their due, give the devil. It's still they're playing. Well,
Speaker 1: Let's see how they do when they go to lambeau
Speaker 1: Field this week to play the Green Bay Packers coming
Speaker 1: off a win on Sunday Night against the New York Giants,
Speaker 1: and then Dallas goes into its bye week. Of course
Speaker 1: at four and one better, Now we're all going to
Speaker 1: talk about do you stay with Dak, do you go
Speaker 1: with Tony Romo? Your thoughts at this point, Well, they've
Speaker 1: said they're going to Romo that he doesn't lose the job.
Speaker 1: I think that Romo doesn't help them because I think
Speaker 1: that what's going to happen is Romo's gonna come in
Speaker 1: and he's a mobile. One of the things about Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott is he moves, and if Romo gets hit once
Speaker 1: or twice, I think it makes see Dak Prescott again
Speaker 1: real quick. All right, So that is a look at
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, the Eagles play at Washington.
Speaker 1: This week's early thoughts on Washington Glenn coming off a
Speaker 1: really good win against the Baltimore Ravens, well they lost
Speaker 1: their first year. Then they have three straight wins against
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Browns, and the Ravens, and they beat
Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Ravens hurt themselves. The Ravens tried to
Speaker 1: fake field goal that didn't work. The Ravens fumbled at
Speaker 1: the goal line. But Washington wins. Their defense ranks twenty
Speaker 1: seventh in the league. But for a third consecutive game,
Speaker 1: the defense held an opponent without a second half touchdown.
Speaker 1: So the Redskins, I think last year they finished what
Speaker 1: six and two down the stretch or something like that.
Speaker 1: Now here it is they They're nine and four in
Speaker 1: their last thirteen games. You can no longer laugh at
Speaker 1: the Residents and it'll be a great game on Sunday
Speaker 1: at FedEx Field. How about the New York Football Giants
Speaker 1: lagging in the NFC East, struggling to score points. I
Speaker 1: look at that game on Sunday night, and I look
Speaker 1: at the sideline and I see a head coach in
Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo, who just doesn't inspire me if I'm a
Speaker 1: Giants fan. About that? About that? And he he was
Speaker 1: a candidate here, sure, and a lot of people were
Speaker 1: very excited about that, and he has had a tough
Speaker 1: time getting anything going there. Odell Beckham is average thirteen
Speaker 1: yards of catch, eli is twentieth in the league in passing.
Speaker 1: They don't have a running back in the top thirty
Speaker 1: five of the NFL. And worse than that day the defense.
Speaker 1: They spend one hundred million dollars on that defense so
Speaker 1: far this season. Eagles fourteen sacks in four games, Washington
Speaker 1: eleven sacks, Dallas ten sacks, the New York Giants four yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: in five. You can't buy yourself at defense. We learned
Speaker 1: that here in Philadelphia in two thousand and eleven. So

Speaker 1: reason Philly sandwiches are so famous. Glenn, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know. We kind of talked about Lane at nausea.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Eagles and on defense. We really
Speaker 1: never got to your takeaways from Sunday. I'd love to
Speaker 1: know what you feel about the Eagles defense. Why it
Speaker 1: started so slowly, how you avoid that moving forward? Well,
Speaker 1: there were a few reasons it started so slowly. I
Speaker 1: think one of the big reasons is they got some
Speaker 1: real port performance from Michael Kendrick out there. Kendricks out there,
Speaker 1: and I think that hurt him. I know Nigel Brandham
Speaker 1: played most of the plays in the first half, but
Speaker 1: when he was down and Kendricks was on Riddick, that
Speaker 1: really hurt the Eagles. They weren't able to make the
Speaker 1: stops they needed to make, and I think that was
Speaker 1: a big contributor to them giving up three first half touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Second half they gave up one point eight yards of play.
Speaker 1: Was very encouraged to see him get it back there
Speaker 1: and the Eagles defense of the second half more more
Speaker 1: kind of the norm. Do you think I do, And
Speaker 1: I think more aggressive, and they got four sacks and
Speaker 1: the takeaway and they kind of got it in gear.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I had really expected them to come
Speaker 1: off the bye as Andy's teams used to come off
Speaker 1: the battle. It didn't happen with them this week, and
Speaker 1: that was a little bit of a disappointment. I will
Speaker 1: say one thing, even as the kid through that fourth
Speaker 1: quarter interception, I thought kid Carson had a terrific game.
Speaker 1: You know, that was a little Brent far Bravado going
Speaker 1: for the whole thing. But I think he again played
Speaker 1: so well, so Heady makes the right throw, reads the defenses.
Speaker 1: Even in the loss. I'm just so encouraged about what
Speaker 1: you get from Carson White and the big picture is
Speaker 1: a Eagles fans, you got yourself a quarterback here. Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz again, looking at two touchdown deficit in the face,
Speaker 1: not flinching. Total poise, command, maturity. Outstanding four games for him,
Speaker 1: with much more to come. Glenn Macnow returns on Thursday
Speaker 1: on Eagles three sixty. I'm Dave Spidero. We say goodbye
Speaker 1: to you. Have yourselves a great Eagles night everyone. They
