Speaker 1

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. It's Eagles three sixty Davis Federo, Eagles Insider along with Glenn mcnell and this Thursday, the Eagles preparing for the New York Giants, and we must begin our show with a report from the mass unit, that is the New York Giants. Glenn, a lot of injuries. Now, we don't know how it's going to change between now and Monday, but we know cornerback Prince Amuka Mora out yea, we know that. Why Odell Beckham Junior not practicing today?

The questionable, right, Well, I mean if he doesn't play, that's their number one weapon on a team that doesn't have a lot of weapons. My hunch is, and it's just a hunch. With a hamstring, he's probably gonna try to give it a go. But you know how those things can just pop. You can start a game and not finish the game. So that's a real problem for them as well. Linebackers Devin Kunard with a hamstring, John

Beason with a concussion not practicing today could be huge. Yeah, Listen, the Giants have won three games this year, um, and I think they're kind of overperforming what they've done. If they come in here all banged up. It's going to be a real problem for them. So if we're done talking about injuries, now, okay, whatever you feel about I'm feeling good about the game. Yeah, And I'm feeling good about the game because it's really a must win for the Eagles. Another last week was yeah, this one is

by the way. If they win this one, I will tell you that next week against Carolina. But they this one gets you, like gets the car fully toed out of the ditch. You're three and three, you've wanted a game in the division. You're even with the Giants, So you win this one. It's good and those are the more desperate team. Light that well, the Eagles are two and three, the Giants, of course, three and two and

leading the very middling NFCA. Let's get you cut up with everything that is happening with the Philadelphia Eagles on this busy Thursday on the practice field, head coach Chip Kelly meeting the media, and Alex Smith has it all in our Eagles three sixty updates. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update. The Eagles offensive line has struggled at times during the early parts of this season, but they did bring it together in a big way last Sunday in the victory over the

New Orleans Saints. Today, head coach Chip Kelly credited center Jason Kelsey for helping turn it around. In most teams in this league, the offensive line and what happens is center driven. He has to identify the front and identify how we're going to set protections, how we're gonna set the rue game, where we're gonna direct everything, and so he has to kind of be your coach on the field, so to speak, at that position. And you know, he's

just a really really intelligent football part. Spends a lot of time studying film on setting tape and making sure that he's correct in his calls. But um, I think Jason could fit in any system in this league. Much has been made about quarterback Sam Bradford's pregame speech to the Eagles before sundays win over the Saints. Today, we heard from Bradford and others inside the locker room on what that speech meant to the team. Uh, yeah, you know,

I'm very comfortable. Yeah, obviously I've been around here now, you know, going into the sixth week of the season, you know, I don't know how many months you know, it's been, but yeah, I feel like a lot of times sometimes people question my leadership just because I'm quiet, but you know, they don't see what I do behind the scenes or the relationships that I built with those guys. But you know, I'm very comfortable, you know, stepping up and saying something, you know what, I felt like it

needs to be said. He's our leader. He's always been the type of guy to stand up and say something if he felt like all of us need to hear it. So I feel like he's been that way the entire time. Sam has been a leader since he's gotten here. But but it was definitely good to hear and great timing with what he said. Absolutely, But I mean, you have to know Sam, He's he's a quiet guy in the locker room, you know, but when the lights turn on,

he's a competitor and you can see it. I think we kind of knew going into the year that he was kind of going to be the guy. So I don't think that he had to earn his stripes in that sense that we had to learn or that we felt that he had to earn the right to talk to us. I mean, he's the quarterback, and you're gonna listen to the quarterback first and foremost, and then if he doesn't want to be vocal, and someone else is

gonna have to step it up. But you have to have a leader on offense, and it's gonna see him step up in that role. Monday night's game at Lincoln Financial Field will be the eagles sixth game the season, but is already their third NFC East rivalry game, and we heard from players inside the locker room today on what that rivalry means to this team as they look to get back on track. Well, there's always I think a little bit more in in division games and then

that's just the reality of the fight. But um, you know, I think it's right where where we're at with two and three. I think that obviously is an important game for us, But you try not to really worry too much about the standards. You just try and focus prepared like you can, and I'll go out there and try and execute on Sunday or Monday in this good I don't think we look at it right now. I mean, it's so early in the season. The division standings are what they are, but at the end of the day

is the NFC East Division game. And these games are physical and there's a huge rivalry here and it's gonna be a fun game on Monday Night that will wrap things up here from the Novocare Complex. Be sure to tune in tomorrow as Chip Kelly gives one final preview of Monday Night's game with the New York Giants, and be sure to get all of your latest Eagles coverage

Indeed, we go behind enemy lines that we talked with Merrill Reese, Glenn's got his bold predictions. So I think everybody's pretty jazzed about the show about the state of Eagles today and blackout by now Eagles getting ready for the New

York Giants. And when we return, we will go behind enemy lines, find out the very latest on the New York who shockingly leave the NFC East after five weeks, experience the power of physical therapy at Novocare Rehabilitation.

Lincoln Financial, You're in charge. We're back at Eagles three sixty Dave SPIDERO Glenn mac Now time for us to step aside. Chris McPherson going behind enemy lines with Michael Eisen from Giants dot com. What is happening with that football team? A lot of injuries, a lot of questions, and so far three wins and

two losses. They're in first Place. Hello, egl's bands. I'm Chris McPherson, and we're gonna go behind enemy lines presented by Gatorade. Here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. We're bringing Michael Eisen, the senior rater for Giants dot Com, who's gonna help us preview this Monday night showdown between the first place New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. Mike. Let's look at quarterback Eli Manning a fantastic season to

this point, ten touchdowns against only two interceptions. He's only been sacked four times all season, a quarterback rating of over one hundred. But it seems like he's doing more this year with less. Odell Beckham's been injured, Ruben Randall's been banged up. No Victor Cruz all season. So what's been the secret to eli May success? Well, first of all, I think Eli would probably dispute he's been doing more with less, because really Victor is the only one who's

missed time. Victor Cruz hasn't played all season, but Beckham and Randall have played every game. They were hurt the other night. As far as a secret to Eli's success, I don't think it's a secret. He's just more comfortable in the offense this year. It's the second year and Ben McAdoo system. He has a greater understanding of what Ben mcado expects of him. He sees things faster on the field. Eli has worked hard this year to really strengthen his arm. He does a lot of arm exercises

prior to practice, so his arm feels good. So I just think it's a natural. Even though he's in his twelfth year, Eli is still growing as a player. And in the offense, Michael, how is he doing it without a strong running game? Obviously they may allow change. It's the offensive line. They brought Eric Flowers with the first round pick this year, but still have not been able to really get it going on the ground. How has Eli been able to overcome that? Yeah, that's a bit

of a mystery. The running game has been a bit of a disappointment. The Giants have not gained a hundred yards in a game yet. I just think Eli is just playing well. So it's one of those things where Eli is in a groove throwing the ball. You know, he started the season with one hundred and something passes without an interception. You didn't throw an interception until the fourth game. You know, he's like a baseball hitter. He's

just in a groove. He's gotten hot. I don't want to jakes him, but you know, he's just playing very well. And I think if the Giants do get the running game at some point, it's just going to help Elie that much more. Michael, we obviously know ce Spagnolah from his time in Philadelphia working under Jim Johnson. He's once again the defensive coordinator for the Giants. Now he doesn't have an elite pass rusher like Jason Pierre Paul who's

been out to this point in the season. But what has he been able to do to strengthen that unit to make it one of the best run stopping teams in the entire NFL. Well, he's involved everyone in the defense. You know, going in without JPP, they knew that they had to get others to help. And really, not only did we not have JPP the other night, but George Selvie and Robert Ayers, who had started a game together or two games together, they were inactive. Really, we've gotten

a lot of great contributions from players. Probably no one in Philadelphia has ever heard of Kerry Wood, who was a free agent from Richmond last year as a rookie. Wani Unga, who is a first year player from b YU who sat out all of last season after tearing his ACL in his final game at BYU. He's played middle linebacker. He's done a tremendous job at middle linebacker, and really everyone on the defense. Bags has gotten everyone involved.

They're sort of like the offense with Eli. Everyone's starting to understand more and more what is expected of them and they're playing at a very high level. Now. You know, the run defense has been very good this week. I believe it's ranked second in the NFL. The past defense not so good, ranked thirty seconds. So that part of the game has to improve. I wasn't going to bring that up, Michael so Well, I brought it up last thing.

Monday Nights. Give us an X factor. Who's a player who's maybe going a little bit under the radar right now, but who could have a big impact for the Giants. Well, I'll tell you a guy who's really not getting much acclaim for what he's done as our kicker, Josh Brown. I know the Eagles had had issues at that position. Josh Brown is actually leading the NFL right now in

both field goals with thirteen and points with fifty. He's thirteen for thirteen this season, and I don't want to jinx him, but he's made seventeen in a row dating back to last year, which is tied to Giants record he set two years ago. So we have got a thirteen year veteran, a really solid guy, a kicker, which is, you know, sometimes kind of an underrated position. So he's certainly not going to be intimidated in a big situation on the road if it comes down to a final

kick in the fourth quarter. Michael, if you jinx any of your Giants players there, I think the fans in Philadelphia would welcome you with open arms. Sure they will. I may have to move to Philadelphia if that happens. Michael Eisen, senior writer for Giants dot Com. Thank you very much for takeing us behind enemy lines, presented by Data Rate.

Enter at Philadelphia Eagles dot com for a chance to win a pair of tickets in the Ameroso Sweet when the Eagles take on the Buffalo Bills at Lincoln Financial Field. Dave Spinnaro, Glenn McNeal, It's Eagles three sixty. We come your way every Monday through Friday at five pm. Of course we

will not on this Monday. We've got a Football Games Hall of Fame Night. It's back in Black night, big party time. We've got our kickoff show beginning at seven thirty, coverage all the way through as the Eagles played the New York Giants. And let's talk about the game. Now, some bold predictions from Senor mcnow all. Right, here you go, Monfrere number one. Sam Bradford is going to have his

number one passing game of the season so far. He had three hundred and thirty six yards against Atlanta three and thirty three last week. He's gonna beat that. I think he's gonna be in the neighborhood of three hundred and fifty, and he's gonna start getting it early, which you know, Dave is critically critically important. And I'll tell you this as part of that. The Giants are not

very good at covering tight ends. Against Buffalo, Charles Clay had over one hundred, Jordan Reedid Washington over one hundred. So look for a big day of the tight ends in a big passing day early. And may I add the statistical Cavard please that Sam Bradford has never had two games back to back games of three hundred yards

passing in his career. So if Glenn's Bowl prediction comes true and Sam Bradford's making subtraction here Phil good Chip Kelly offense, yeah, because he needs to make traction in the Ship Kelly offense. So there you go. That's number one, all right, here you go. Number two. The guy to watch on the Giants is Shane Vereen, not his brother Ben, who we talked about the other day. Although he's a fine dancer. The Giants are as we talked about earlier,

they're having problems with weapons. Odell Beckham is hurt, Randall is hurt. Shane Verreen is that tough back out of the backfield. He catches a lot of passes, he returns kickoffs. He's a dangerous He's like scrolls light scrolls, very light. But he's gonna be the guy who you're gonna have to worry about this week. He'll be the guy who does him dead. And the Eagles did a really good job last week against the Saints in the horizontal passing game with C. J. Spiller. We saw a week earlier

his big played against the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles shutting down that part of the Saint defense, Saints offense, and the requirements will be the same against Verreen. They're very aware of him, and I agree, Glynn, Shane Verreen is a really key weapon. Freelie Manning who has been kind of mistake free for much of the season. Eli Manning has been terrific this season. I'm a big part of it.

He's just getting rid of the ball really quickly. DW Yeah, he is captain checkdown, but for them, for them, that's working right now. All right here you go. Number three, even taking into account that previous prediction about Shane Vereen, the New York Giants will not rush for seventy five yards this week. Their running game is terrible. We know how good the Eagles are against the run. Rasha Jennings Andre Williams are not the guys you should worry about.

You know, the Giants hadn't had a good runner since twenty twelve, when a mod Bradshaw. When they had a moda Bradshaw, then he got hurt. Their line can't block against the run. You know, as you said, they prevent sexa he gets rid of it. So worldly thinking, I'm not. And the Eagles allowing just three point five yards per carry, that tide for best in the NFL. The front has

done terrific jobs. That's three Glenn mcnell bold predictions. Two more coming Sunday on Monday or Monday that's Monday night game. Well there you go. I get an extra day next And actually did think of two more bold predictions. So Glen's been on a roll. We hope the Eagles stay in a role when we return to Eagles three sixty well, it's the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles. Merrill Reese excited about prime time Eagles giants. He's next up in studio.

Time now to bring in the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles, Merrow Reese. And on Monday night, it's back in Black Night at Lincoln Financial Field, Nationally televised game, nationally broadcast game on the radio as well. Fans love it, players seem to like it. How about you a lot in terms of a national game. I love it National game, the prime time, the drama. I like the black. I like them coming back in black because I give them a nickname. I call them the Black Knights of the School.

Kill Well, as long as it translates to a victory, Merrill, and it did last year when they wore the black against the New York Giants. What do you feel about this team today that maybe it didn't feel about prior to the week that the game before they went over the same. Well, I did know. I did know. I was disappointed in the way it started. I felt that

I expected a lot coming out of the gate. And then I thought, well, maybe it's just an aberration, just game where they just didn't play well, and then it would happen again and they never really got it going. And then I got into the point where I'm using the old Peggy Lee song. Is that all there is? Which I'm sure one or two people out there will understand the reference. I think maybe maybe if you like

jazz you would understand the reference. But any how, the fact of the matter is, I think there is more, and I think that it's a matter of this team coming together. You expect a lot because of what you saw in the preseason, but remember that the teams do not game plan for you. You have a quarterback who, although talented, hadn't played in a year and a half. You had an offensive line moom with some knicks and bruises and some changes, and then Andrew Gardner got hurt.

It was all a matter of coming together, and I think I believe last week showed us what this team can be. Of course, they cannot afford to come out against the Giants and throw two early interceptions. You can't get away with the stuff like that. Turnover is killed. But I do think that this is a closer team to what we saw last week than the one we saw against Dallas in Washington. And what this team can be with a victory on Monday Night is a first

place Eagles team in the NFC East. And to do somewhere that the defense is gonna have to come up big against an offense that likes to go down the field. Great receivers who are questionable at this point, but will assume that Odell Beckham Junior and Ruby Randa will play, and then a running back in Shane Vereen who adds a really interesting element to the passing game. Yeah, the Giants are definitely a better team than they were last year.

I don't think we're going to see a repeat of last October or November, whatever it is, when the Eagles had the Monday night game against the Giants and beat them twenty seven to nothing. And in that game, the Giants quarterbacks were sacked eight times. I'd say quarterbacks because actually Ryan Nasson finished up the game. That's how fuel the attempts of Eli Manny became, but they sacked them eight times. This is a different Giants offensive line. It

has been put together and Pugh has been moved. He was the first round epic from Bucks County who went to Syracuse to move from tackle the guard. They have a first rounder of playing tackle. The offensive line is cohesive, they're good and Eli Manning has only been sacked four times and he's getting the ball out of his hand very, very quickly. Is he an all time great quarterback? Marl? He's got two Super Bowl wins. He's engineered something like

thirty two fourth quarter comeback victories. In your mind, is he one of the best that you've seen. He's a Hall of Fame quarterback based on what he's accomplished, based on his numbers, his longevity. The greatest streak is how many games he's played in a row without being injured and the fact that he's quarterbacked two super Bowl championships.

That makes him a whole of fame quarterback. If you're talking about you use the phrase all time great, and to me, there are only a few that fit into that all time great category, going back to Johnny Unite, right, But a Hall of Fame quarterback indicates an all time great. No, I don't think so. A whole of same quarterback means he's one of the great ones, one of the best of his era. There are a lot of people in the Hall of Fame who I would not say are

all time greats. To me, all time greats are those that the Johnny United, He's an all time great, John Elway, Joe Montana, Rogers, Staubach. Eli's brother Peyton tom Brady only has one Super Bowls. He is an all time great to me. Eli Manning is a very very good quarterback who has done enough things right to earn a spot in the Hall of Fame. But the quote all time great, I wouldn't put. It's a conversation for another day. That, okay, very very good is good enough to be in the

Hall of Fame. That's interesting. Eagles offense merrill only three points scored in the first quarter of games this season. It came out and really moved to football very well against New Orleans, turned the corner kind of game last week. Yeah, I think so. I think so, But that does disturb me. The fact that they have a total, a not so grand total of one field goal three points in all

of their first quarters combined. That cannot continue. They've got to come out Monday night and have about put ten on the boards in the first quarter. What do you see? What are you say? I think they're going to play well, I really do. I think the Giants had some key injuries. We don't know how they're going to manifest themselves over the course of the game. Can Odell Beckham be ready, and not only can he be ready, he go out there on the field on a cold night and not

reinjure the hamstring. That is the major question. I have a feeling he'll start, and the same with Ruben Randall. But we've seen players start. We saw Kendricks a few weeks ago come back and then repull the hamstring. We haven't seen Shady McCoy go out on the field yet except early in the season. But since he pulled the hamstring. To Sean Jackson with the problems with the hamstring, that's

a very iffy injury. It doesn't sound serious, but what it is, it's long term and it gets into a player's mind and it really restricts what he can do well. It's a bungle up kind of night. National broadcast for Meryl and Mike for the national television audience as well. It's back in black night and we're all excited, no more than mister Merrill. Rs.

Welcome back to our final segment of Eagles three sixty. Eagles insider Dave Spidero, along with Glenn mcnelly's here every Tuesday and Thursday five o'clock. We love having you here. Glenn, and the Eagles have gotten some contributions from the rookies. How would you evaluate

five games in this rookie class? Five games in, I would tell you that Hicks is obviously been so good for them, and he's the guy when they draft him. I think we're all surprised they're going to draft an offensive lineman there now in the third rounder, the third round they go for a linebacker, and what a great pick because he's really contributed. We haven't seen enough from

agwell Arl yet. I know he's hurt now. I think you know he should come on later in the year because you've seen rookie wide receivers do so well in the NFL. Maybe our expectations were too high, but I hope as the second half moves on, he really does contribute because that'll be important. And of course Eric Rowe has played at cornerback, also getting some looks in practice looking better safety and Jacorey Shephard still recovering from that

ACL injury. So it's been a promising early start for this rookie class, and who knows, they're gonna need every piece of this fifty three man roster as the season

goes along. When we talked about Jordan Hicks, we did so with the knowledge that he's played very very well in our game planned Crewhyke Greas and Mike Quick give a little progress report on the gem of this two and fifteen draft class, linebacker Jordan Hicks A Mike Our rookie report brings us to Jordan Hicks, start round draft pick out of Texas, certainly catching the eye of all Eagles fans through the early part of this season. It seems to be a round of football, an awful lot.

He's fortunate that he gets to line up next to Mufassa because he's shedding a lot of knowledge. He's a great study, good student. Watch him here, but this is such a nice job playing the linebacker position. He scrapes along there, stays behind those big bodies, shoots the gap and makes a big stop. Yeah, keeps his shoulders square

to the line of scrimmage. He's done a fantastic job in the run game, but the passing games while being mostly impressed with me because you don't see the type of passing the offenses that he's seen now in college. And so he's man and man coverage here on mark Ingram coming out of the backfield. He knows he has to take away the inside leverage from him, forces him outside, and if this throw is on target from Drew Brees, it's a pick six for Jordan Hicks. You you can't

play the coverage any better than that. He's taken away the inside, he knows he's got to break outside, and he just undercuts that route. Breese has to throw it away or suffer a pick. Yeah, no doubt about it. And then I watched him here in zone coverage. That was man coverage. The zone concepts are certainly difficult for rookies to understand. You watch Jordan Hicks here, what the

Saints are doing. They're gonna run crossing routes in front of him, trying to entice him the job bucks see that back underneath there, but the guy behind him is who Drew Brees wants. Nice job of Hicks keeping pace with his guy underneath, but at the same time keeping depth at the first down sticks and he has enough athletic ability to get up and disrupt this row. Should have been a pick, should have been a thick, but still nice job by number fifty eight here understanding route concepts.

I think what all the skills that Hicks brings. Is very fortunate that he gets to work with Demiko Ryans because it's just gonna make him better. Yeah, something about that number fifty eight, man, I can't remember a bad player wearing that numbers the memory. Jordan Hicks certainly a

rookie that we need to keep my eye on. Thanks so much, guys, A little peek ahead at what's on the menu are amerosos on the menu segment here, we've got Ryan Matthews in for our Crunch time piece on Friday, Alex Smith with Stats Only a look at the numerical side of the Eagles and the Giants, and Chris McPherson and I on Eagles three sixty Towmorrow. We'll offer our key matchups. We have to figure out who's going to be playing, because obviously the first key matchup is what

do you do against Odell Beckham Junior, who is absolutely great, phenomenal. Yeah, yeah, have you seen his pregame warm up? Yes, it is incredible. What's fun about it is he has this crowd of you know, hundreds of people watching, and it's just it's a circus show. It's astounding. Yeah. Yes, I think what you do against Odell Beckham Junior is you hope he doesn't play there to make him catch you with two hands. Forget the one hand catch, you make him catching with

two hands. For Glenn mcnow, I'm Dave Spiderow. We thank you for joining us an Eagle three sixty. Have yourselves a great Eagles Day
