Eagles 360: Episode 25

get to Today. Glenn's gonna show us some of his beautiful takeaways, the leftovers from the big win on Sunday. And you know, the honest to goodness truth is, the world is run by fantasy football these days. So we're gonna take a little spin around the world. But first, when a couple of thoughts you had just as we opened things up here about the state of his Philadelphi

Eagles football team. Here's my first thought, right, that's the first thought, because we had said, we've been saying every week, but this week it really was true. They could not afford to lose. It was a benefit of the schedule that you got to play a very poor team, but that's how schedules work. You play bad teams. And they did what they needed to do. They put them away. They put them away impressively. Eagles had no serious injuries. Now it's gonna line up for another must win, huge

game against the Giants this week. But I liked everything about this and maybe just a hint, a hint, a hint of what we thought this Eagles offense would be five hundred nineteen yards, thirty four first downs, thirty nine points, a lot more points left on the field. You get us sense of just how good it could be if everything comes together. The rush game got on three six, the passing game got over three hundred and could have had more. You got contributions from some guys you haven't

seen much of this year. Yes, and we'll I mean, we'll keep stipulating the Saints are bad. But just from what you saw from the Eagles, that's what we expected. And it was so so nice a month in to get it two and three with a first place game on the line on Monday night against the New York Giants. Welcome to the NFL. We'll take our first look at the Giants in just a bit. But when we return Eagles three sixty Some takeaways from Glenn Macnow from Sunday,

a big win over New Orleans. Just what did it mean carves to compete electrolytes, to replenish everything you need to keep sweating. Hi, my name is Jim Taylor.

Dave spidero Eagles Insider with Glenn mac now on this Tuesday, and it's time now for Glenn's five takeaways from the blowout win on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field and all positive this week. How about

that number one? Look, we all saw how tremendous Fletcher Cox was in the game, and we know that he worked his way into the Pro Bowl, no doubt about it. But the other part of this is the Eagles entire defensive line has been great this year. They're given up just three point four yards a run, which is just about best in the league. Benny Logan has been great. Benny Logan's not getting enough attention I think for how

good he's been playing, said Thornton is back. That defensive line has become such a strength of this team this year. You saw it Sunday. You're going to see it against the Giants who can't run the ball. Also, it's a big help. I like it, and they're young and even some of the backups bo Allen playing very well alongside you know Benny Logan when they worked two of them together, giving Benny Logan some rest on the sidelines, Vinny Curry working his way into the rotation, Brandon Bear, who was

sidelined on Sunday, has been valuable contributing. And then you know the Eagles think a lot of Taylor Hearts. So it's a young group. It's an inherlded group led by Fletcher Cox. I agree, all right, here's number two. I liked the return of big Bold Chip Kelly. I did. They didn't get They didn't convert either of those fourth and sevens, fourth and aids, whatever it was, thirty thirty five yard line, But I just liked that he tried it. We bought into Chip the innovator, Chip the guy who's

going to take some days. I understand part of this is he may not trust calib Sturgis to hit a fifty three yard or But for whatever the reason it was, Chip Kelly showed some guts, some gumption. I think the offensive guys really appreciate that. It may not have worked, but I liked it. I'm gonna disagree in a sense here, Glenn, because I think it's just good football knowledge. Eagles had the football the thirty five yard line. Caleb Sturge is not the most accurate kicker in his NFL career, you

have a chance to go for it. It's just a sound football decision. Has nothing to do with being big and bold. It's just good football guys. It would have punted there. You know a lot of guys would have punted there. No, no, I think they would have all right, here you go, number three, number three. And I predicted last week that DeMarco Murray was gonna have a big game. I said, to get ninety four yards. Well he got in the eighties, so he almost got there. And if

you had the past receptions, he did. But as effective as Ryan Matthews has been, and Ryan Matthews ran what nine times for seventy three, I think and Murray did not average as much. I think you gotta keep beating the ball to Marian about a two to one ratio. It may not been paying off right now, but down the road, that's your bell horse, that's the guy who has achieved greatness. Nothing against Ryan Matthews, but I think you got to keep working it to DeMarco Murray and

eventually it's going to pay off. I think you go with whoever's hot. I think you keep Ryan Matthews involved. There's no need to justify anything with DeMarco Murray, who had a very fine game on Sunday, more than one hundred yards from the line of scrimmage, eighty three on the ground look powerful, made some people miss. But you can't ignore Ryan Matthews and what he's done for this offense. Go with what works and win. Put fog by the way.

Just one post script on that. That Dallas Cowboys line that was supposed to be that's the whole reason they got it. Dallas Cowboys line. Dallas Cowboys are nineteenth in the league in rushing, so maybe it wasn't that line wasn't so great. All right, here you go, here's getting a little dig in on the Cowboys here I always have to. Here's number four, and you'll, I think you'll agree with it. You know, I don't care you agree

with this. I agree with this. It was great to see Josh Hoff get in there and contribute and look really good. He's an explosive, dangerous guy. He's got a lot of talent. I think all of his problems pretty much been self inflicted him enough the injury, but he's had a tough time kind of adjusting to the NFL. The Eagles need another wide receiver to really step up. I thought it was gonna be Agwala. Well, maybe as

a rookie, it's gonna take him longer. You know, maybe we put expectations on him that were a little too much. But I think if you can get Josh Huffed to be a big part of this offense down the road, you really help. Agree with Joshuff, don't necessarily agree with Nelson Agilare in the sense that that he won't step up. I think the role is very defined for all of

these receivers. Jordan Matthews leads the way and catches, and then the rest of the footballs get distributed to Miles Austin, to Riley Cooper, who made another couple of nice catches and was open in the end zone. Josh Huff big part of this offense, and Nelson Agiler will continue to get his reps. I think Chiff just wants to keep he's a hockey analogy, bring them over the boards and

keep him fresh. And that's fine. But I thought, because you looked at how great so many of the wide receivers were last year as rookies, right, Benjamin and well Beckham and so on. And I thought, you know, Aglar is gonna step in, He's gonna catch seventy five passes. Well he's not, so maybe Huff takes some of that. Okay, all right, here you go. Number five, Dave, How great was it to see the entire offensive line not just

play well, but stay healthy. All five of those guys, Tobin and Barber and Kelsey and Peters and Lane Johnson played all eighty four plays. They played great. Again, the Saints are not a good defense, but they picked up the stunts, they picked up the blitzes, and we need those five guys to stay healthy. At this point, you've already lost bodies. It was just so nice to see that. I take that away as a huge POSSI agreed, And the narrative today versus a week ago is completely different

regarding the offensive line. They are healthier now after a game than they were a week ago, and coming off a dominant performance. Kudos to you. A great five. There you go, great five takeaways. And I certainly all right, so we turned the page. Now enough of the New Orleans Saints. It is time to focus on the New York Football Giants coming to town on Monday night. Our

Two out of three. You're gonna beat the Giants. They're gonna do very well in the bye week, and I think they're gonna split Carolina Dallas. Clearly, we'd

rather than beat Dallas than Carolina. I'm not sure an extended winning streak can happen, but I'll take the two out of three. I just don't know if I take Carolina for really yet. I just don't know if I do that. I understand that, but I also believe in the EBB and the flow. I think I don't think this Eagles team right now is good enough to rip off a four game winning streak. I'm feeling some momentum here. I'm feeling some positive plus Black Jersey says, you know

we love that all right. Monday Nights, New York Football Giants coming to town. This last time I referred to that team as the New York Football Giant. The Giants coming to town. First look at them. Let's begin at the quarterback position. The all familiar name Eli Manning having another good season, Glenn. And no matter what you want to say about the guy, he knows how to win

in the clutch. And we saw that the other night Sunday night when they come back and went in at the very on a beautiful pass and a beautiful catch. One more dig at the Cowboys if they meant in terms of respecting opponents. I put Eli Manning here and Tony Romo here. I really do. Eli Manning is a guy who scares me in a close game at the end much more than Romo. And we saw that. So the trick is get way ahead and don't let him. Yeah, and durable ten touchdowns this year, just two interceptions. He's

been really good. Tim Bradford's numbers are picking up. I feel like he's gotten a lot better from week one. He has no doubt about it. He's going to have to have a good first half. One of these days. He's very good in the second half. It's a long time for him to get warmed up in games. He's got to come out and be on fire right to begin all right, let's look now at the running back

position and we list to Marco Murray. I think the list should be DeMarco Murray slash Ryan Matthew should see the numbers picking up just a bit for Matthews, for DeMarco Murray and then for the Giants Rashad Jennings and three point four yards per Carrey. They really do have trouble running. They really the strength of his deft right, whether it's Jennings or whether it's Andre Williams or whoever they got, They've developed no kind of running game at all.

Right now, They've got Ben thank you, Yes, who's no Darren Sprawls, but Ben Murray, Ben Veren, but he can really dance. Yeah. Yeah. Their running game is Shane Vereen, a great pass receiving threat. Will be another challenge for the Eagles. Linebackers at wide receivers from question marks for the Giants, with hamstring injuries plaguing Odell Beckham's junior as well as Ruben Randall, the Eagles spreading it around Glenna

concerned with the Eagles receivers. Still too many drops, still too many drops, um and there, I mean you just gotta stop that, you know. I hear they go out and work with the jugs machine at nine in the morning. And that's what you gotta do. And sooner or later, you gotta you got to drop that. I don't think you've got to stop that. Excuse me. I don't think this is a question. Sam Bradford throwing uncatchable footballs. I

just think that will snap out of it. The Giants really don't have a lot of skill position players at running back and wide receiver other than Odell Beckham junior, who's great, but maybe Hamper and that Ben Vereene guy can really all right, kick up Shane Vereen. Shane Vereen and who was huge in the Super Bowl for the for the pages. I do not sleep on Shane Vereen. Okay, he may tap dances your rank them hired night. Do

we get to the tight end defensively? Well, I can just get their tinand Larry Denell is terrific catching the end zone. The thing he made to win the game the other night against San Francisco was terrific. So he worries me more than you're danceing Shane Verreen. All right, Well, I'm gonna tell you a little bit about the Giants and their defense. They just aren't very good defensively, particularly against the pass. No pass rush, just four sacks they've

allowed the most passing yards in the NFL. The Eagles should have opportunities in the pass game, and you may see a repeat of the game plan from Sunday. Dropped back, get rid of the football very quickly, more under center, get the run game going after you established the passing game. Sam Bradford did a really nice job, and I give Glenn mcnow credit for that. Spread the football around. A really smart game plan from ships there, of course, and I suggested it, So who else would have ever thought

it is such a thing. You know, the Giants a couple of years ago had had that great pass rush, right, and injuries. We know the injuries and Pierre Paul's right, you blow off your hand, that's a problem. And old age and letting some guys go has really taken away what was always the strength of that team under Tom Coughlin. So I think that without that pass rush, they are very vulnerable. Yeah, and the injury report later in the week will be really important to follow as well. So

that's our first look at the New York Giants. When we returned to Egules three sixty, it's time for the world of fantasy football. I scept to Philly. I sept The Philly.

Dave Spinnarrow, Glenn mcnal. It's Eagles three sixty. We come your way

Monday through Friday. At five o'clock on Thursday, Glenn Wafer's bold predictions for the Eagles Giants on Monday Night. But right now, Alex Smith and Joe Dolan a little Fantasy Spin. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is Fantasy Spin presented by bud Light. I'm joined by Joe Dolan, the managing editor of Fantasy Guru dot com. Joe, we always start off this segment by talking about which Eagles players

are the best fit for your starting lineups. And after that five hundred and nineteen yard performance against the Saints, which Eagle are you looking at this week? Well, I just want to talk in general about some philosophy with the Eagles, Alex and that's going to bring me to Ryan Matthews, who actually played the third most snaps among

Eagles running backs but looked really effective doing it. And at the beginning of the year, when we were talking about what this Eagle's offense should be, what it can be, what it might be, I think this was the type of performance that we envisioned. Coming into the game. The Eagles were bottom five in total plays run at just over sixty after running seventy one per game in twenty fourteen. They ran eighty four plays against the New Orleans Saints,

and that's where Chip Kelly wants to be. And if the Eagles can run that many plays, they can use DeMarco Murray as the grind it out back and then they can bring in Ryan Matthews, who looks really explosive to come in and kind of punch you in the mouth.

So if you think that This performance against the Saints is going to be the one that gets the Eagles on track against another defense and the Giants that frankly has been playing a little better than I thought, but didn't make a single play against the forty nine ers this Sunday night. I would be pretty happy putting Ryan Matthews in as my flex. This is an offense that at its best can support two very fantasy relevant facts, if not a third in Darren Sproles. So Ryan Matthews

look great to me. I think that's exactly how the Eagles wanted to use him. I think his performance indicates he should probably get even a few more touches, So I would be happy rostering Ryan Matthews at this point. I think the Eagles are trending upward offensively. Joe, A lot of fantasy owners out there were dealt a big blow this past week with Jamal Charles unfortunately going down with that ACL injury out for the season. Where can

fantasy owners turn this week without Charles in the lineup? Well, I think it's going to be number one. You have to point this out. When you lose it, Jamal Charles, you lose your best offensive player, So you can't just assume somebody's going to come in right away and just well, he's Jamal Charles. He's just going to take the twenty touches per game and he's going to be great. It's

not going to work out that way. However, a lot of people are assuming that Nile Davis, just because he's been the guy in the past, is going to be the handcuff moving forward. I wouldn't be too sure of that. We at Fantasy grew dot com know somebody very close to the team, and that person indicated that Charkendrick West, who has been playing more snaps than Nile Davis of late, is a better receiver, is just a better fit for

the offense. Now, that doesn't mean there's not going to be a committee, doesn't mean d Anthony Thomas Nil Davis aren't going to get their snaps. But Charke Handrick West would be the guy that if I had my first waiver priority, or if I had a lot of fab budget left, would be the guy I would prefer to replace Jamal Charles if I had the choice of all

of them. Joe another guy that a lot of Fantasy owners out there were very high on coming into the season was Peyton Manning, and obviously he hasn't quite been the same Peyton Manning that we've been used to in past years. What's the deal with Peyton? Would you still consider him a vile option this week? Viable yes? A guy who is locked from my lineup? Absolutely not. This is the point, Alex where you have to reevaluate based on five weeks of data where teams are and where

they're going. Your draft board from August or the leader board from last year doesn't mean anything right now. Peyton Manning in this offense, he's struggling. I think his physical skills have deteriorated. The run game isn't getting going, and I think a large part of that is just because Peyton Manning isn't playing to the level we're used to. This guy is simply not an every week starter at the quarterback position anymore. He is somebody you have to

make a decision on. And frankly, if I had Tyrod Taylor and Peyton Manning on my roster, for example, I'd be considering Tyrod Taylor my starter right now until further notice. Peyton Manning is a guy you have got to make a week to week call on. And unfortunately it's bogged down this entire Bronco offense, including the run game and Joe Last, but certainly not least. How about two other players that you're keeping an eye on as waiver option

pickups this week? Well, here's a bumber. Martavis Bryant coming off this four game suspension, doesn't get practice time in with a knee tweek, it doesn't even play against the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night. So I want to see what he does, especially considering that pass game has lost basically all of its production without Ben Roethlisberger in there. So that's a guy who you can't start until further notice, But I'd like to see him in the lineup going forward.

And then, of course, Kristin Michael at the Dallas Cowboys. He's played just two snaps so far this season, but there is just something about Joseph Randall that it seems like the Cowboys don't trust. They're not willing to give him a full snapshare. Even with Lance Dunbar out for the year, Joseph Randalls snaps did not go up in Week five. That's a situation to monitor, and I wonder

if Kristin Michael gets more activity going forward. That will wrap things up for this week's edition of Fantasy Spin, presented by bud light Our Thanks as always to Joe Dolan, the managing editor of Fantasy grew dot com.
