360: Eagles Election Day

between the Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants coming off their bye week, you have thought they were shown some signs of life. That was not the case as

they lost forty to twenty four. The offense struggle throughout the course of the game, once again without running back with John Jennings and the defense already losing John Beeson for the season, loses Prince and Mukamara to a biceps injury, struggle throughout the course of the game, Andrew Luck through four touchdowns, and the Giants ever since that loss back

on Black Sunday have not been the same team day. Yeah, so the Giants really struggling the Redskins as well, and meanwhile at the top of the NFC East to Philadelphia Eagles sitting there at the midway point of the twenty fourteen season, with a Monday night game against the Carolina Fancers upcoming, and the Cowboys in London as we speak,

preparing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. You mentioned Black Sunday. Well, Black Sunday was a pretty popular game four Eagles fans this year, and we figured we'd have a little fun today. It's Election Tuesday. We hope you get out and vote, and we asked you today to vote on the following categories Favorite Win, Most Improved Player, Best offseason Acquisition, Biggest

Play of the Season, Midseason MVP. We got a lot of responses, Chris, and we have a lot to get to showing the fan results as well as our votes in those categories. Do you think we agree? I'm all five of all. I don't know what you voted for, but we're gonna find out. We will see. So it's our midterm election. If you will, it is our midterm election. Now, we're not going to have any politicians or governors or mayor's comp on the show. But I'm going to exit

and you're gonna bring on the head coach. I think this is an upgrade. The head coach, Chip Kelly, joins me in studio. Got a lot to talk to him about Eagle six and two. But you know how Chip is, He's focused on the day, so we'll get his thoughts on this Tuesday when we return to Eagles three sixty. Septa is the way to get to game.

There's people ringing bells above me, there's honking going on, there's trees flying by. It's fantastic. Time Now for our exclusive one on one interview with head coach Chip Kelly. Here in studio, I'm Dave Spidero. Thanks for joining us, Coach. Good job with the run game. A lot of production lately, can you talk about the progress you've made in that department. I don't think there's progress made. We led the National Football League and rushing, so I don't know why people

gave basket about our run game. We got the best running back in the league and we run it all the time. So I think what we did on Sunday was typical of what we normally do. But the numbers early in the season were quite to the level of where they've been the last few games here. It's been huge games like that. I don't think they're huge numbers. I mean, we've been for what we consider as normal for us around now, so I think we're doing a better job. But it's kind of what we expect around here.

Deep group of running backs, Chip, how do you go about, you know, finding a rhythm for them, keeping them fresh? Is there? Is there you go with a hot hand? Is it okay? Can't just talk about how you want to keep those guys going, scandals all that, So I'll just call the plays and it's over in a game. We don't matter to me who's in we call plays. Every running back can run every play, So Dud's just rotate those guys on how he feels he needs to

put them in a game. You've mentioned the other day that you had seen Mark Sanchez since his high school days. What traits does he carried through from those days. He's very athletic. You know, you can watch He's got a real athleticism in terms of how he drops and how he gets rid of the ball. He's got a very quick release. I think he's an accurate passer. You know, now getting to know him since he's been here since last April's he's very sharp from a football standpoint. He's

got a great background. Obviously, he came from a really good college program in usc to todd him and learned a lot of really good things when he was with the Jets, so when he came in here he can really speak the language he can talk. He's been exposed to a lot of different things, and he's got a wealth of experience because he's played so much in this league. You know, there's not many guys that have played as

much football as him that ever became available. You know, he's been a two AFC Championship games, so he's a playoff testing quarterback. He's got over sixty wins in the National Football League so you know, he's everything we thought

we were gonna get when we got him here. I've always said you needed two quarterbacks and the fact that he had to go in the game for us, I've always felt like if he went in the game, would just be like another starter going in the game, and that's what he showed when he got in there against Houston. Not every team has been successful in building depth at

the quarterback position. You've done that here. Can you talk about that the process of identifying I just I think when I first got here, we were fortunate as we had two starting quarterbacks and Nick Mike, and then when Mike chose to go outsewhere we were, it was a real position for us, So we want to go get somebody, and the fact that Mark was available and fit what we were looking for. Um just worked out for us

on the defensive side, replacing Jamiko. Ryan's talk about the strength that you see from the group that's out there and just overcoming his absence. Real good solid football players. Um both at Showy and Casey are are smart. They're intuitive football players. They They've got a really good feel

for what we're doing defensively. They've both been in the system for two years now, so they got a real good understanding of what Billy and Coachman are trying to get accomplished their um and they all kind of work off each other. And I think obviously Michael Kendricks, who's been in there the whole time, played a really good game for us on Sunday against Houston in his first extended time from being back, you know, has has grown as as us since we've been with him, you know,

because he's in his second year in the system. So obviously you're gonna miss Demiko's leadership, You're gonna miss Demiko's calmness out there kind of everybody kind of looks at him to make the calls. But I think those other guys are ready to step up and do their job. What are you seen in the run? Defense has been outstanding all season, the same thing we've said since day one.

I think our starts our defensive line. They've done a great job in based defense, all three of those guys, actually all six of those guys who end up rotating in there. Our outside linebacker play has been outstanding in terms of setting the edges and keeping the ball inside and in front of us, and what we want to do when I think we're getting real good safety play out of Malcolm Jenkins, been player that we didn't get it a year ago. So you know Malcolm and they

are doing a really good job. So we got everybody playing really good team run defense. Carolina Panthers in Channa on Monday night. What are you seeing from that football team? Good football team, very good defensively. Probably has the best linebacker in the league in Luke Keekley's He's averaging over ten plus tackles a game since he's been in Yere. He was he was the leading tackler in college football for three straight years. He's a leading tackler in the NFL.

He's just one of those guys that's always around the ball, very instinctive player. Set a record last year with the most tackles, and I think he had last year at twenty four tackles in one game. The other linebacker, Thomas Davis, is an out standing player himself. They got a real good, solid front four in front of them that protect them

very well. The offensive side of the ball, it obviously revolves around Cam Newton is one of the most dynamic two way players at the quarterback position in this league. He can beat a running he can beat you throwing. He's a very productive thrower. He's got two really good running backs in D'angela Williams and Jonathan Stewart. So it should be a heck of a game. We're excited about going on on Monday night in front of our fans. The latest addition to the roster, Chris Prasinski. Can you

talk about what you like about him? Were you at your outstanding special teams player? You know, a real four core team special teams player. Um, we'll add depth for us at the safety position behind Nate and Malcolm, but we'll really be able to plug in right away as a special teams player. And he's a bigger body. He's a six foot two, two hund ten pound safety, so he's he's bigger than the safeties that we have right now.

So he'll be able to help a little bit, maybe take a load off some of the linebackers in terms of some of the special teams if Casey and Nacho are playing a little bit more there, he can play some of the bigger special teams positions. He's not a smaller guy, so real excited to get him in here. Was was a productive player starter for the Jaguars, just got caught up with an injury, so he was he

was available for us. We worked him out last week and when we had a roster spot opened with Demiko, obviously we thought he was the best position to bring in, especially from a special team standpoint.

Welcome back Dave Spandarow, Chris McPherson Here Eagles three sixty Chris, it's the time of the year when fantasy football owners are trying to

win down the stretch to get into the postseason. Yes they are, and one quarterback who could effect the race late in the year, Mark Sanchez through for over two hundred yards and two touchdowns. Should you add them to your fantasy roster? Bo Wolf and Joe Dolan from Fantasy Guru dot com discuss in our weekly Fantasy Spin segment. Well, we welcome you inside the Fantasy Spin once again here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. I'm Bo Wolf, that's Joe

Dolan and Joe. Let's talk about a man even more handsome than the two of us, Mark Sanchez, the guy who is going to be playing quarterback for the Eagles for the foreseeable future, at least in terms of fantasy value. Where do you put Sanchez? Is he an every week starter? If you have a list of rankings at home, and you've got your roster, and you've got your fantasy leaderboard,

here's essentially what I would plan to do. Cross out Nick Fole's name and put Mark Sanchez his name on the list, because that's exactly where I'm putting Mark Sanchez on my personal depth chart. I think he's a mid to low end quarterback one and the benefit from Mark Sanchez is the offensive line is getting healthier. Jason Kelsey came back this week against the Houston Texans, and you know, we played really well. I think he'll shake off the snap issues and getting Evan Mathis back is going to

be an absolutely huge development for this offense. So the offensive line is getting better. We clearly have an elite receiver here in Jeremy Macklin, Zach ertz Riley Cooper, Josh Huff, Jordan Matthews. All of these players are making plays in the passing year. And I also think Mark Sanchez is going to help the running game because he's a good athlete and I think you have to respect him on those zone read runs. I think Mark Sanchez for the rest of the year is a start worthy fantasy quarterback

without a doubt. Go and pick him up off the waiver wire. I think Mark Sanchez as we stand right now, is going to be the starting quarterback on a lot of fantasy championship teams. And for this week specifically, you like the match up against Carolina. Carolina's defense is a mess right now. Bo's it's just a defense that seems like it's thinking too much. Guys are constantly out of position.

They don't have a lot of talent on the back end, Their linebackers aren't playing as well as you would expect. I think this is a great matchup for Sanchez. If you pick him up, run out there and start him this week, I think he puts up numbers. All right, Well, I know you talked about this before, but because of guys like Sanchez, there is always value on the quarterback market. For that reason. If you have Big Ben Roethlisberger, who's got those crazy amount of touchdones over the last two weeks,

I guess selling high on Big Ben. Yeah, And the reason is Mark Sanchez. And the reason is because you can go out and get a guy like Ryan Tannehill. You could have gotten him two weeks ago. He had a huge game this week. Ben Roethlisberger is a guy who was on waiver wires. He was probably dropped earlier in the year after he didn't throw a touchdown against

Baltimore earlier in the season. If you can get value for a quarterback and you think you can replace that quarterback, say you picked up Ryan Tannehill, or you bought low on Matthew Stafford, or you're gonna get Mark Sanchez this week. If you can get a piece that's useful for another quarterback on your roster, I do it every time. Because Ben Roethlisberger's on your bench putting up forty points. It

doesn't matter if it's on your bench. Just go trade for somebody who's going to be in your lineup every week. That's exactly what I would do, and I think Ben Roethlisberger is a prime trade. High came, did it? How about Lamar Miller, the running back in Miami? You mentioned Ryan Tannehill. Miller has been productive, but he got hurt this week. He's got a shoulder injury. We don't know exactly what his status is. Looks like he might be able to play this week, but how valuable do you

expect him to be? The problem is the matchup is really bad against the Detroit Lions and Lamar Miller. The concern I have. Number one, it's an ac joint spring which are really nagging. We've seen Jordan Cameron to the Cleveland Browns deal with one this year. Really not something you get over very easily. Jimmy Graham's another example of a guy who's had one. Also, Lamar Miller had shoulder problems in college, which really really raises the red flag here.

The problem for me is I don't view this as a situation I want to invest in. If Lamar Miller is out, Daniel Thomas is not somebody I want to pick up. The Dolphins wanted to cut him. They only brought him back because they had injuries in their backfield. Damian Williams, the rookie, is talented, but he also got

banged up this past week. I'd rather just sit and wait on it until Lamar Miller comes back, because I don't want to mess with either of the guys who are going to be in that backfield, especially in this match up. All right, Joe, Well, every week we got to go through those waiver wire pickups of the week. Who do you have for us? Number one is Alfred

Blue of the Houston Texans. Obviously you saw Arion Foster go out with the groin injury, which potentially is related to his hamstring injury that's been bothering him all year. I think Alfred Blue is a guy after the Texans Week ten by could potentially come in and get some volume for you if Aaron Foster's groin injury keeps him out.

And unfortunately I've been banging this drum. Aaron Foster's a guy who's just constantly injured, and I know that the Texans were running him into the ground, but you just always have to keep that kind of filed away in the back of your mind. And Alfred Blue could find himself really relevant. And there's two more guys who are also coming off injuries of their own who I think could be relevant down the stretch. Number one is Kyle Rudolph.

At the Minnesota Vikings, you saw Teddy Bridgewater finally start to target the tight end position of late. Actually, Chase Ford got his first touchdown this past weekend, major contributor when he was here. Both obviously, I think Kyle Rudolph is a talented guy who could come back and contribute to your fantasy team. It tight end is a really rough position right now. There's really only one shrewdly super

reliable guy, and that's Rob Gronkowski. So you're kind of playing the waiver wire and playing matchups each and every week anyway, So why not take a shot on Kyle Rudolph and if, by the grace of somebody above above, Ryan Matthews is still on the waiver wire, go pick him up right now. The San Diego Chargers offense and running game especially has stalled the last couple of weeks. I think Ryan Matthews is going to have a monster role when he finally comes back from his knee injury.

All right, well, Joe Dolan from Fantasy Guru dot com looking to take you to a fantasy championship. Follow him on Twitter at fg Underscore Dolan and remember, we'll see you next week right here on the Fantasy Spin. Thanks Bo and Joe. Now, enough about Sanchez from a fantasy standpoint, How about the real Mark Sanchez. Yeah, the real Mark Sanchez preparing to start for the Eagles on Monday night, the Carolina Panthers in town. What's going through the mind

of Sanchez on this Tuesday. We'll find out when we return to Eagles three sixty. Don't miss it. An exclusive sit down with Mark Sanchez had Mark Park work. A life is more than a heartbeat. It's more than what you see on a cat scan or eco cardiogram. And although we see some of the most rare and complicated heart conditions and continue to advance the frontiers of heartcare every day. We never forget what we're really looking at.

Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals. Eagles Fans, Let's go a bully Dunkin Donuts medium hotterized coffee. The day after when Eagles win with the Duncan Mobile, Automo Eagles Win America Run on Duncan. Duncan Donuts is helping more area youth get in the game through the Touchdowns for a Kids program.

For every Philadelphia Eagles touchdown, Duncan Donuts will donate two hundred and fifty dollars to Good Sports, bringing new equipment and resources to youth sports organizations in need throughout the Greater Philadelphia Reach In Hi, Everyone welcome inside the studio. Dave Spidero with Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez. We are ready to rock with Mark at the quarterback position. How's life changed since Sunday? It's been a little different. My phone's

been kind of blown. Imagine to change my service, I'm sure, or just throw this thing in the scuocula. Well, how do you handle it more? Because it is a different from the like from the media, standpoint and the attention standpoint. It's a lot different than the first eight weeks of the season, right. Fortunately, you know, I've been through similar situations in New York, a large media market obviously, so it's business as usual for me. A couple more interviews,

but that's no big deal. Always love coming on with you guys, Thank you. But this is fun stuff, you know. The other stuff it's does the second time around help you kind of get the media more or you know, I felt like just these last couple of days that the most important thing to me was to not change because I didn't change my preparation, and that's why I was ready to play on Sunday. Plenty of mistakes and

plenty of things to clean up. By no means am I saying it's perfect, but I knew what to expect. I was ready. I didn't get caught off guard. Same thing with this. You know, I know what the talking points are, I know what coaches game plan going into the week is, and you know, I echo those same things in all my interviews because that's what I truly believe. Yeah, I believe in the system. I believe in coach Kelly, and you know, we got a lot of work to do, but it's gonna be fun. So I did this story.

I talked to two quarterbacks who'd come into similar situations. Donovan mcnabvi goes down in two thousand and two, A J. Feeley steps in. Jnoth mcnapp goes down at two thousand and six. Of course, see steps in. They both had success, and they both said that they felt the whole organization and the city really supported them. Do you feel like

everybody wants Mark Sanchez and the Eagles to succeed? And it's you know, you never want to see your fellow players go down, whether it was Demiko or Nick, those are two important players and pivotal players to our success. Well, once you find out what injury is, you diagnose it. Okay, what's our next step? It's the next man out. And that's how everybody feels, whether it's Malk getting in there for Kelsey, whether it's Tobin playing for Harman's or for Mathis.

I mean he's played all over the place, Gardner coming in. That's the way we feel. And as soon as those guys step up, the other players, the coaches, everybody in the building, they just embrace him and naturally the fan base does the same thing, so that's encouraging. It doesn't seem to work that way everywhere around the league, doesn't. You know, it's this is a special place, and I think one of the coolest things is seeing how close

all the buildings are, the facilities are. You know, you got the Sixers and Flyers, the Phillies and us and we're all right here in a two block radius. And that's awesome. You know, in New York everything's so spread out. You know, you don't see those guys as much. And it's a track to get to a Brooklyn Nets game or to a New York Knicks game or Yankees or Mets. You know, that's hard. And here, I mean it's right down the street. You're here at this facility all day anyway.

You walk over to the game and walk back, catch a couple of innings, catch a couple periods of the hockey game. Whatever. So that's a cool Philly guy already, I guess so. But this city's cool for you. But you just get wrapped up in the city and you really enjoy it. How's the body feel? I mean, Sunday was the first time you'd really been hit right, got a couple of massages. I'm feeling good. I'll be ready to go, and Coach has a great schedule for us,

keeping us fresh. What do you think about this offense? Mark? And Hell, it's going to translate for you. You know we talked about in the off season, but it fits with my personality, with my style of play. I love the play action stuff. I love being able to get out on the move. The dropback stuff is perfect. It's a lot of stuff I've read before. And I'm thankful for all those reps and the off season, for all

the reps that Coach gives the backup guys. When you're you know, number two and three, you still get reps during the week, so you know, I'll just take advantage of those and really use this work week to get my timing down. With the whiteouts and tight ends backs all that, we'll be ready to go. But I'm excited about how harsh were you and Coach Musgrave and whoever else you watch film with When you watch the game

on Sunday. Coach Musgrave's real good about whether it's the best play you've ever made or the worst play you've ever had, about staying even keel and coaching you exactly, not telling you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. And so we watched it a little bit yesterday and a little bit today, but you know, a couple of foot things, a couple of timing issues, but for the most part, not a bad game. We want to get away with, do away with a couple

of those turnovers, and we'll be we'll be moving well. Well. I would say, have a great game Monday, but that's not the way we think around here. Have a great rest of your day today, Mark Sanchez, thanks for joining us in studio here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Septa is the way to get to game. I love taking the subway down there because I feel like i'm you know, with all fans. Everybody's got their gear on. People are channing and cheering on the train before you can get

to the station. There's a sense of camaraderie because Philly loves their sports teams. It's really fun. It's Philadelphia.

We welcome you back. It's Dave and

Chris here Eagles three sixty on this Tuesday. We asked you earlier in the show about the mid term results. We asked you to vote earlier today. We got a lot of responses, and now Chris and I will weigh in on our mid term votes and then we'll get to your results. All right, We'll start with the favorite win of the twenty fourteen seasons to this point for me, Black Sunday against the New York Giants Sunday Night Football. The Giants came in red hot, the Eagles poster first

shutout since nineteen ninety six. It was twice an nothing. Po was thrilled up to the very end, and the top and all boys and men gave a tremendous halftime performance. So Black Sunday for me to Yeah, not an easy one to top. But I'm gonna go with the road game in Indianapolis. Eagles going out to Indianapolis and beating a quality football team. We've seen how good Indianapolis has

been since that game. The Eagles showing some guts, some determination, Nick Foles leading this football team in the fourth quarter to a comeback win, Cody Parkey delivering in the clutch, and the defense making the stop at the end of the game. So I'm gonna go with the win over Indianapolis as my biggest win so far. Not too bad there now the most improved player on the Eagles roster. There have been so many contributors to the Eagles six

and two start. I'm gonna go with a former first round pick in linebacker Brandon Graham's second year in the scheme, looking so much more fluid able. To add to the passions at Bill Davis is bail put out each and every week. A lot of people didn't think that he would be a huge factor for the defense, but he has been integral to the team's success so far. So I'm going a branding ram as my most improved player,

and he was my first choice as well. But in the hearit of being different here, I'm gonna go with Fletcher Cox, former first round draft pick. He's gone from a good player and sometimes dominating player to somebody every week you can count on to make big plays, to be physical, legal success against the run, largely unheralded and largely credited to the play of those up front, and that includes Fletcher Cox. So bravo for Cox. He has really been a force the first half this year. Yes,

he is number three best offseason acquisition. All Right, I could go with the easy way out to say Malcolm Jenkins, Darren's Brows, Cody Parkey, all would be very good answers. I'm gonna go bolt with Mark Sanchez. Yes, the Eagles are six and two to this point. But it's not about being where they're at now. You want to get this team into the playoffs, and it's integral. It's vital to have that veteran quarterback presence. Chip Kelly said all along that he was going to need to quarterbacks Nick

Foles it down. Sanchez steps in and delivered beautifully in the win over Houston, leading the team to twenty four points. So to me, having Sanchez guide the offense forever a long folds his sideline is going to be crucial to the team's postseason run here. That's why I think Sanchez ends up being the biggest offseason acquisition. Well, the question wasn't ends up being it? Who is it now? I think the fact that you have him now, and for that reason, I'm gonna go with the easy way out.

Malcolm Jenkins is solidified the back end of this Eagles defense. Three interceptions, clutch play, outstanding leadership, Malcolm Jenkins a tremendous, tremendous free agent signing for the Philadelphia Eagles. That's a good one there. It's easy way out. So best individual

play of the season. All off season, we wanted to know how Darren's browles were going to fence his offense and on a fourth and one as the Eagles were struggling against the Jacksonville Jaguars, darrens Bowles gets a ball and goes forty nine yards up the middle of the defense for the touchdown. It was a great start to his two fourteen season. It sent Lincoln Financial Field into a frenzy and sparked to comfort behind win. So right there that season open forty nine yard touchdown on fourth down,

I give to Darren Sprowles. It's the best play you can probably give about five or six other Darren Sprowles plays. He's really been terrific for the Eagles. I'm gonna go in a different direction and just from a signal standpoint, just from a confidence boost, just from a this is how Chip Kelly's gonna play it angle. I'm gonna go back to Sunday in Houston. Mark Sanchess comes into the game. First play is not a screen pass, it's not a handoff.

It's on a bootleg. It's nothing safe. It's we're gonna throw it down the field into the heart of the Texas defense. And in this case, he completes a fifty two yard pass to Jeremy Macklin. That's the way Chip Kelly plays. That's the way this Eagles team has responded to adversity aggressively with confidence, and that's my play of

the year. Good call right there. Last, but not least, mid season MVP, I'm going with Jerry Macklin, the former first round pick who was named the Edlock Purge Award among the league leaders in receiving yards touchdown as back to back performances of one hundred and fifty yards receiving. He's been the do it all receiver. If you need something in the short game, you need to go deep.

As Dave just mentioned, Macklin has been clutched for this team all season long, especially coming off the ecl So for me, Maclin is my mid season of My midseason MVP is on the other side of the ball, Linebacker Connor Barwin finally unleashed in the pass rush game. He's been terrific for the Eagles in every way. So Connor Barwin runs away with this one for me. He is the Eagles midseason MVP. So you've heard what Chris and I think. Now we want to hear what you have

to think. We thank you so much for your responses to our questions of the day list. First, start with the favorite win from the fans, Chris, what do you think they all agree with you? There's a dude black Sunday fifty six percent, the vast majority, but you know he can swayed the vote there a little bit. Yeah, and by the way, thanks to that great fan out there were the great fans who said Redskins over Cowboys. We got a laugh out of that end. We all

enjoyed that as much. Most improved player wide receiver Jeremy Maclin twenty seven percent over Connor Barwin's eighteen percent. Both players really had outstanding Pro Bowl first half of the year. Yes, and there's so many players who have contributed to success, who have stepped up their games from last season. So definitely could have gotten a number of directions there. Number three the best obviously the acquisition Darren Sprowl. Yeah, the best.

It's so hard to argue with that. He makes good plays every time he's on the field. Yes, he does. Was missed very much so, and that lost Arizona, but bounced back in a big way. He got a couple of key third down and that went in using And how about the best play of the year Darren Sprowles again, the punt return for a touchdown against the San Francisco forty nine Ers. The big play there again. The Eagles special teams have been great the entire first half of

the year. And Malcolm Jenkins I and T against the Colts. That's the only thing with sn it was in a win. And the most valuable player Chris je Jeremy mcli and hard to argue with that. One pays for a ninety catches, fifteen hundred and eighty yards and sixteen touchdowns this year. So thank you so much for your responses. We will continue to do these kinds of things because the fans are so excited out this football team. How can you not be? Yeah, six and two, first place, a lot

to get to this week. We are back tomorrow. We've got press conferences at noon, Bill Davis and Pat Schrmer, and then Eagles three sixty at five o'clock. Well, thank you for joining us today. For Chris, I'm Dave, have yourselves, Oh great Eagles Day. M
