Eagles 360: No Backing Down

just zone in and say win in advance. It's almost like the NCAA tournament, you know, when it's or urvive in advance, and so you know, we get to find out if the Eagles can do it. We've been waiting all season, Dave, to find out if the Eagles can just flat out get this thing done. And it's in their hands now where they have no choice but to do it or where they're out as we know. And so look, it's been a rocky road at six and eight.

It's been a disappointment. We all understand that. But miraculously it is still in their hands. So they've got to play better football. They've got to do it. Sam Bradford, the passing game, the running backs, Chip Kelly, I don't expect schematic adjustments at this point. Obviously, we haven't seen them this point in the season, Dave. So you gotta play better football. Defense has to step up and do

a better job. Obviously, Kirk Cousins has done a nice job this season, you know, relatively speaking for Washington, they're not very nice job. Relatively speaking for anybody. Yeah, they're yeah, I mean there's still only seven and seven, right, But Kirk Cousins, Yes, I think we've we've talked about this all year, the Redskins, and they're not really we don't think here they are, and they're playing the best football if anyone in the NFC easton Kirk Cousins, with the

possible exception of Eli Man, who's just bombs away. Kirk Cousins has done a really nice jobs. Has his performance changed your opinion of his ability? Absolutely? Yeah, no, one hundred percent. How could it not. I mean, Kirk Cousins to me, if you ask me, what's a Kirk Cousins team, it's a six and ten team. It's a five and eleven team. You know, a big picture and obviously a lot of other stuff goes into it, well you have around him, but yeah, it's what they've saying. There's seven

and seven, they've got a shot to be nine and seven. Look, he's got a sixty nine percent completion percentage. He's got the highest completion percentage in NFL history. At home. Now, this game for Washington's on the road. Washington's only won one game this year on the road, that was two weeks ago, but they have won two in a row. They are clearly playing the best football of anyone in the division right now. But again it's still can't their hands.

The Eagles, it's in their hands. Go out there and take it. A couple of days from out Lincoln Financial Field, a night game south Philadelphia, Go take it. Go stay alive. There's nothing to take yet. Fair enough, stay alive. That's all we're asking. Did we want another we want a heartbeat for next week at MetLife Stadium RW. Let's get you caught up on everything that's going on with this Eagles team today, and there is a lot going on. We've got some injury updates for you and more. It's

our Eagles sixty update. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update. As you can see, it is another rainy day here in South Philadelphia, but the Eagles did practice outside before the rain started here today at the Novercare Complex, and before practice began, we heard from Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, who spoke about how the team must fight heading into these last two weeks as their backs are up against the wall. And we also heard from Jordan Matthews in the locker room,

who echoed coach kelly sentiment. Yeah, but we're not concerned about how they were concerned about ourselves. If we lose, we're out. It's not about did they clinch or did they not clinch. That's I mean, I think you're getting a little too far and deep and your motivational aspects of things. The bottom line is if we don't win the game, we're out of the playoffs. So and I think if that's not insensive enough, then you know, if I got to keep looking for other things after that,

then we're in trouble. But well, your backs against the wall, you've got a scrap, but you gotta fight. That's when you're gonna find out who the men are. So you know, I think you know we're coming off a loss like that, Like I said, yes, it's a point and yeah, we show ourselves in the foot But you know, I'd like the metality of the guys in locker room. I like the way everybody's gone to work in practice. Now for an injury report. Cornerback Byron Maxwell did not practice here

today as he deals with the shoulder injury. However, fellow cornerback Eric Rowe has cleared through the lead's concussion protocol and he was back practicing with the team today. In the locker room, we caught up with Roe, who said that he doesn't feel that he needs to be the team's number one corner if Byron Maxwell can't go, as it's more of a group effort with this Eagle secondary. I mean, I don't see mich those like saying like

I'm knowing Corn of leading in the group. I feel like, you know, Rod just as equal we got Jalen ej. You know that, you know, they stepped up and play real well, at least in my mind, they play real well in the game that's Sunday night. So I mean, if Byron can't go, I mean, obviously then we all have to pick up a step at as a DV group. Another Eagle who did not participate in today's practice was defensive lineman Benny Logan, who Chip Kelly says is day

to day with a calf injury. Inside the locker room, we heard from his backup bo Allen, who is ready to step up if called upon on Saturday. You know, I think that's something that you look forward as a player. You never know, you know, whether or not you're gonna get your first start. You don't know, and it's gonna you know, you might not know. It's a game, guys, So I guess you just gotta prepare every day like

you're not, you know, a backup. And that's kind of I've played in every game two these last two years, so I don't see myself as green by any means. So you just work every week and prepare every week like you are the guy, and then you know, if if that time arrives, you're never surprised by it. The only other Eagles player who did not participate today's training session was wide receiver Shay Is year two two, who was dealing with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, no Eagles players

were listed as limited participants at today's practice.

along with Joe to camera. We wish everyone a happy holiday season and Marry Christmas, and let's talk Eagles and Redskins here, Joe, let's begin with a side by side statistical look at the Washington offense and the Philadelphia offense. Where do the Eagles have an evangels? Look at the numbers we talk about it, you know, advantages. I don't think it's a situation really where the Eagles have dramatic advantages much at all in this in this football game.

I mean, frankly, I think they're they're pretty comparable teams and the numbers clearly speak to that. Now, I think Kirk Cousins has been better than Bradford. But with that said, Bradford generally has progressed as the season's going on. So you know, what Bradford was versus Atlanta, what Bradford was versus Dallas, frankly doesn't matter. He's a better quarterback at this point than that. So I don't I don't really

care about a fourteen game statistical analysis. I care about more recent times, and clearly Bradford has been better than he had been. With that said, Kirk Cousins has done a nice job the ship, you know, and his completion percentage is impressive. Also, you know, when we look at Washington's offense to Shaun Jackson missed a lot of time in the beginning of this football season, So you've got the fact and again that's where the season comparison really

to me is irrelevant. He didn't play for a good portion of you know, the first six seven games of the season. So now he's in there, so they get the long ball threat of Deshaun, which obviously the Eagles defense will have to deal with. Now, one thing that does stand out when you look at the stats this year, that's surprising. Washington's run game really has been pretty ineffective, you know, after Morris and Matt Jones. At three point six yards per carry and three point four yards per carry,

that's not very good at all. Now we understand that, Dave. So it's not like the Eagles Russian attack has been brilliant, and it hasn't been. DeMarco. Mary's had a lot of carries and he's subed four yards per carry as well. That's where when we talk about what really stands out Ryan Matthews, Who's going to get a lot of carries. He's getting more and more as the season's going on back from that injury. You just want to see him

have a big game, you know, but he didn't. Here's where I disagree with everybody because everybody's dumping on DeMarco. It's dump on DeMarco time in Philadelphia, and I get it. I get it, but everybody then speaks about Ryan Matthews like this, how to give Eagles ran for seventy four yards against Arizona seventy four yards. Ryan Matthews had thirty eight yards on ten carries. Taking away the twenty yard run. I can't take away the twenty yard run. But you

get the point. Eagles aren't running the football, whether it's DeMarco Murray, whether it's Darren Sproles, or whether it's Ryan Matthews. I agree that Ryan Matthews should carry the ball more, but the function is messed up. It's the running game, not the running backs. Do you agree? I agree in part there's no question the function of it, the schematic

of it. I mean, I've been dramatically outspoken that I think there's been some mistakes and how especially in the position DeMarco has put in all the runs to the side, Dave drives me not so no doubt about it. I'm with Dave on that point. But if you just ask me purely, who's a better player this year and who do I have more confidence self in this game by a pretty wide margin, it's Ryan Matthews. Guys. Ryan Matthews has close to two yards per carry, more per carry

better average numbers. It's just numbers. But but over fourteen games, he hasn't played fourteen games. Look at let me again, I'm going back to I'm going back Saturday night or Sunday night worth than one who got the ball? What about what abotter? Who any of them got in the ball? Listen, I agree the offensive line, look the offense. It's not the running back. Well, I just I think it's both. And there's no doubt the offensive line has struggled. There's

no doubt. Again, the schematic approach to Chip I think is too simplistic. I think it's too based on tempo. You know, you're not gonna have tempo with a one hundred places, You're gonna have a shrunk playbook because that's all essentially the Eagles get the information to Bradford, disseminate the information to the players, so they're gonna be able to have a simplified offense from that approach. I think

defenses have made adjustments to that. And again I don't like where they're running DeMarco, but I'm not going to back down from the fact. In my mind, there's no doubt Ryan Matthews is bad. He is better, but it doesn't make a difference because the offense isn't running the football. That's my point. My point is that Brian Matthews may be better, but it's not making a difference. They're not

running the football, they're not scoring any place. That's why, as we say here, that's why I think the approach this week is to throw the football a lot, to let Sam Bradford carry this offense. Otherwise you're looking at another fourteen point game, another seventeen point game, maybe another twenty point. I don't believe that's gonna be enough points to beat the Washington Restings. I'm calling on Sam Bradford to throw the ball thirty five forty times a game. Throw, throw,

throw some more. All right. I like it in theory, and I'm not really disagreeing. But this is where again you're run into problems because the Eagles don't have an outside receiver, an outside not talking about Jordan Matthews, an outside wide receiver with more than thirty catches this year. That's a disaster. This isn't nineteen sixty five, where it's you know, four yards, three yards in a cloud and dust.

This is twenty fifteen. Teams throw thirty forty fifty yard passes five to sixty seven eight nine times a game. They throw them and they connect on them where they get personally they get a pass interferent penalties on them. So you know, Sam Bradford needs help from the guys outside. Now, what Bradford does have Dave, which is good. He's got a slot receiver in Jordan Matthews, who's a pretty good player,

no doubt about it. He's had a good season. He's got running backs that are pretty good at catching the ball out of the backfield, and he's got two tight ends that are doing a nice job, particularly Zacher. It's emerging more and more as this season goes on. I'm very impressed with what Earth has done. So you know that's where obviously the big distribution of his passes goes to. But when you don't have an outside it makes it tough and it really makes it tough to get points.

To your point you need points. I think you get points in the passing game, but I certainly don't disagree in the production has not been there on the outside. Now. The defenses are very similar as well. When you look at the numbers, the red zone has been just a terrible, terrible area for the Eagles. Of the takeaways that have been a positive points per game, generally the same rushing yards the Eagles have given up a boatload here, Joe,

as have the Washington Redskins. So again on a numbers standpoint, not a whole lot of difference comes down the turnovers. Of Chip Kelly said earlier this week, Eagles have taken the football away more than Washington. They've also given the football up more than Washington and quarterback Kirk Cousins. So I think that if the matchup that worries me the most is Ryan Kerrigan on Lane Johnson, He's really had

a tough time with Kerrigan. Otherwise, the Eagles should be able to get open against a beat up, broken down a little bit secondary of the Washington risk. Yeah, Washington secondary is not good. They've moved to Angelo Hall obviously, the veteran. They've moved him playing some time at safety now, So you know, Washington secondary is certainly susceptible. Kerrigan big player, no doubt about that. Baker comes off and gets some

sacks as well. Look, here's the deal when we talk about the Eagles defense, because I think in many ways in many ways. I'm gonna put this game on Eagles defense if they've been inconsistent and the rushing. The rushing defense for the Eagles has really dramatically gone downhill. First off, I'm gonna start with Fletcher Cox to the question Dave asked right in the beginning, you know, advantage, Where are the Eagles have an advantage? Well, they might have the

best player in the game in Fletcher Cox. I think he's one of the best players in the lake. He just got named of the Pro Bowl yesterday, totally deserved. So this is one of those games. You know, Fletcher Cox is gonna have a monster contract coming up, you know, at some point this all season or sometime you know

in the near future. Hey, Fletcher, go out there and just give me one of those big time games, the kind of game he had last year versus Dallas in the road, kind of game he's had, gosh, Dave six seven times this year, So you need another one of them. Benny Logan, is he gonna pu Is he not going to play? If he does, how effective is he going to be? That hurts, There's no doubt about it. But

also let's just talk about tackle. You need the linebackers to tackle better, and if the young cornerbacks are in there, and Eric Rose, a young cornerback, would right now starter, but it looks like he's going to be a go. But if the other guys get in there as they did on what was it Sunday night, they have to

tackle better, you know, EJ. Biggers, that whole group. They've just they've got to tackle better because the tackling generally speaking in her chip has been good in Bill Davis over the last three years, but there have been a couple of instances this year where it's been really bad and it's just a recipe for losses. Yep. So that's our look side by side, not much to separate, and that's why these teams are where they are coming into

this week sixteen game in Lincoln Financial Field. We've got Chip Kelly in a little bit later on to talk about this breakdown, this big one, this win or no playoffs for the Eagles.

We welcome you back to Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero, Joe Dicamera. We are going to now step aside time for Chris McPherson and his Behind Enemy Lines segment with Andrew Walker from Redskins dot Com. It's a must win game at Lincoln Finshill Field on Sunday night, and help us preview the showdown, Let's bring in Andrew Walker, the managing editor for Redskins dot Com. Welcome to Behind Enemy Lines. Reasoned by Gayade Andrew. My first question is going to

be the quarterback Kirk Cousins. In the last four games, he has a passer rating of one hundred or better. He's put monster numbers in the last couple of weeks. What has been the biggest key to his surge in the last month of the season. Well, you know, the last few weeks have been really good. But I think what we're seeing for Kirk Cousins is just a total maturation of a guy who's finally getting a full season's

worth of experience under his belt. You know, he's been money of late, but he's been really good at home all year. He just finished with the best completion percentage at home games of any quarterback in NFL history. So you know, he's been much better on the road of late two which will obvious to be a major factor Saturday night with the division on the line against the Eagles. He's cut way way down on the interceptions and the mistakes and he's just doing a good job managing the game,

which is all Jay Grud needs him to do. Yes, the Redskins won their first road game of the season two weeks ago in Chicago. Now, a certain player whom Eagles fans are very familiar with, he wasn't available for the first beeting between these two teams. As wide receiver, DeShawn Jackson has four touchdowns in the last five games for Washington. What is he brought to the offense in

his return from injury. Well, I think we all know, you know the impact generally that DeShawn Jackson has on any offense, but here with the Redskins, he really opened things up down the field for other players. Jameson Crowd is a rookie guy in the slot. Jordan Reid's having a huge year at the tight end position, just really doing things matchup wise that we haven't seen a guy do pretty much ever. He's having the best year for a tight end since Jerry Smith in nineteen sixty seven

as far as Redskins are concerned. And then Pere Garson's always been that tough guy that gets extra yardage and gets the first downs. But lately what you've seen is Kirk Cousins can kind of just kind of let it loose, let DeShawn go and get the ball, which to me is his biggest strength outside of just a peer speed. And he kind of on a separate note, he's asked

last night about this impending game here in Philadelphia. Try to play it cool, like you know, like you know, to Sean say, I don't want to make headlines, but you could see it in his eyes. He's ready to go for this one, all right, Andrew. On Sunday night, the Eagles allowed rookie David Johnson to gain one hundred

and eighty seven yards on the ground. I'm sure Alfred Morris and Matt Jones must be licking their chops as the Redskins have struggled on the ground this season, but I'm sure they're gonna hope they get things going on Saturday Night. Yeah, I mean so I kind of chuck it up to the number one hundred. If the Redskins get to one hundred rushing yards, they generally seem to do pretty well in the game because that opens up the play action pass for Kirk Cousins and that's his

bread and butter. But you know, just in general, it's been a multitude of issues for the run game, which actually started off really well and then really tailed off, you know, the mid part of the season. You know, sometimes the backs aren't writing hitting the right holes. Sometimes guys are missing blocks. We've had penalty issues at times.

But you know, if they can get to that one hundred number and kind of keep the defense, you know, somewhat on their toes, then Kirk's does a really good job in that play action and he, you know, like I said, Jordan Reid, Deshaun Jackson, Pierre Garson Crowder, Matt Jones has been really good out of the screen. Chris Thompson might be back as the third option. If not, they have veteran Pierre Thomas. You know, they have all kinds of weapons they can go to. Andrew. Last question,

let's look at the defensive side of the football. D'Angelo Hall, the long time corner has been moved to safety. What has that done to stabilize the secondary? Yeah, he's kind of a guy that's become the Swiss Army Knife of the Redskins defense. And that's Jake kring Schrifles, one of our writers here kind of coined that phrase because here

he is in his twelfth year. You know, he's been one of the best playmaking cornerbacks throughout his career in the NFL, but he had a toe injury earlier in the season, kind of came back a little slower than that from that than he wanted, and then the coaches presented him with the idea, Hey, can you move to safety? Will that be better on your toe? We're really, we're really not too deep at that position. And he's taken

it and run with it. And you know, D'Angelo Hall, maybe he's earned it earlier in his career, but he was kind of got this stigma that he's just a me me me type guy. You know, I've been here since twenty twelve, and I can tell you firsthand, this guy's probably one of the probably one of the more team first guys we have in this locker room, and he just wants to win, so he'll do whatever it takes.

And he's really done well at the safety position everything considering he's a twelve year veteran, Like I said, so he's learned a thing or two along the way. And hopefully Saturday night in Philly we'll see him kind of you know, last year he got he suffered that season ending achilles injury at Lincoln Financial Field. Maybe we'll get

a low redemption on Saturday. Andrew Walker, the managing editor for Redskins dot Com, thank you very much for taking us behind enemy a lines presented by Gatorade here at Philadelphia Eagles dot com.

Welcome to our exclusive one on one with head coach Chip Kelly, presented by Wahwa coach How have the players approached coming back to work here at tough loss on Sunday with such an important game on Saturday night the same way they've always proached that they come back and we make corrections from the previous game and then we get onto our next

to point. So there's i mean fans out there wondering, there's nothing different that changes from week to week. Keep everything. We have to change our schedule slightly because we play a game on Saturday, so we're on a short week schedule. But besides that, we're pretty routine and what we do. Let's get into the game here. The Washington front tough, aggressive, fast,

What kind of challenges that provide for the offense. They've got a lot of big guys up front, you know, led by Terrence Knight and Chris Baker inside, two big physical run stoppers, two outstanding defensive ends, and Trent Murphy and Kerrigan, who's one of the better defensive end outside linebackers in the league. You know, so they can really they don't blitz very much because they don't have two blitz I think they can stop the run with their front.

They've done a good job. But all year long, um, you know, and it's a it'll be a tough task for us getting ready for this week and preparing for the individual movements they do up front, and then just preparing against some really good players. Is Kerrigan a speed guy, power guy, He's everything. There's one of the prototypical outside linebackers. He can beat you with speed, he can get you with power. And their secondary they've had some injuries, they've

still functioned. It seems like they've moved a couple of pieces around how they played well. They moved Dangelo Hallos, an outstanding corner, into safety, and I think that's really helped them solidify a few things. And um Brelan is one of the better corners, especially in our division that we face a lot, and he's played well against us in every matchup we've had with him. M Deshaun Golson is another free safety that hasn't been an outstanding player.

Was a really good player in San Francisco and Tampa and now is doing a great job for them. So they've got a good, good group that backs up that real good front ship. When you play one team and then a second time, just a lot change. Do you notice a lot changes from personnel changes? You know, from an injury standpoint, there's some new guys obviously on the back end for them, so they'll see some new new and different faces from that standpoint. So, um, schematically, they're

not going to change. You know, they're not going to come out and play a brand new defense against us. They're gonna do what they do. We're gonna do what we do. And um, it was a close game last last time we played him. It came down to last play the game basically, and UM, you know, we've got to do everything we can to make sure that we're ready to execute on Saturday. You've spoken very highly of Kirk Cousins in the past. Done well. He's extremely act. I think he's got a very good command of what

they're doing. He great knowledge as a quarterback. You can tell he studies and works at it, and then you've just seen him increase. I think he's got seven three hundred yard games this year. He's got a very very high completion percentage. He's got some outstanding receivers with reads, specifically the tight end that's really doing some damage right now. And it's it's a good mix because they can run the ball with Alfred Morris, but then they run the play actions off of it and then nay kids off

of it. Um they really you know, kind of test jend you can't have everybody swarm to the ball because he can. He is a mobile quarterback also, so I think there's a challenge in facing a quarterback that's that accurate in that mobile. He seems like he's also a really confident guy and somebody kind of the players seem to respond to his play, to his fiery demeanor. I think so. I mean, we just watch a game take, so I don't when we get a whole heck of

a lot of the interaction in between the games. But he is executing at a very high level right now. Having just come off Arizona that likes to go vertical, is this team kind of similar in that they go vertical that off they do, they do it all. You know, they're West Coast based offense. They you know, they can run. They run a lot of shallow crosses with big routes behind it. They will go deep and play in the

play action game off their run game. They got a real good, extensive quick game that will give you some nobacks. I think you have to be prepared for everything when you're gonna face those offense ship. Thank you very much,

Merry Christmas, and good luck on Saturday night.

Glenn mcnow we will be stopping by with his bold predictions for this game. Always

fun from Glenn. Some up, some down, some right, some wrong. Chris mcpheerson, He's got to cover two. Segment with Les Bowen from the Philadelphia Daily News, Elliott Shore Parks from NJA dot com, and then our game coverage on Saturday begins at six thirty leading into the eight thirty kickoff. We've got you covered start to finish, and then some don't forget to tune into our postgame show presented by Rico. All Right, Joe, let's talk about this game and the

keys to victory. We know turnovers, we know the basics. You know you got tackle better who emerges as the star who takes this Eagles team to the finish line. Here, Well, I'm gonna I'll answer your question by saying this it's a quarterback driven lake and the quarterback to plays better in this game probably wins the game. That's what typically happens in an NFL football game. So to answer Dave's question, I'm gonna go right to Sam Bradford, and I'm gonna

look at Sam Bradford. If I'm chipping. I'm not saying Chip's got to put this pressure on him, but if I'm chipping in my mind, it's Hey, Sam, I'm looking to perhaps give you a really big contract in a couple of months, perhaps annoying you. The starting quarterback of this franchise for the next five years. Go out there and win this game. For me. Bradford's got to have that. He's got to win the game. That's huge. I start with that special teams, Dave, Let's talk about a few

other aspects, Chip Kelly. Since he came here in twenty thirteen, this team has had phenomenal success with special teams until they ran into a couple of big bumps in the road this year. And then they've had other games this year, the block punt for the touchdown, you know, the New England play. They've had a couple of big ones. So you know they need the special teams to help them because frankly, the Eagles offense and defensive loans not good enough.

They need the special teams. So I'm gonna look at that factor. I'm gonna look at the home field advantage factor, which hasn't been great. So you need the crowd to rise up, rise up in South Philadelphia on Saturday night. I look at that. I look at the DeShawn Jackson factor in this game. That hey, listen, that's a big challenge.

He's a very motivated player coming in here. We all understand the stakes of Sean Jackson history with the Philadelphia Eagles, so the safeties and the cornerbacks are going to have to defend against him and not try to give Alfred Mars too much and Matt Jones too much room to run in the process. We know what the Shaan does. He helps the other players on the other on his team.

So I look at that and also Dave. Final thing I'll say is this we all understand as we come near the end of year three of chip Kelly, that this is a critical game for the Philadelphia Eagles future one way or the other, because in many ways it could set in motion what happens, who's back, what you're doing, the schematic approach next year, do you make the playoffs? Do you survive just for another week but then lose

to the Giants. It's a really big game, I think for the chip Kelly tenure and again for Sam Bradford as well. All Right, there you go. I don't disagree with much of that at all. I I don't think chip Kelly goes up to Sam Bradford and talks about the future. No, And I'm not think. I don't think. I don't. I don't. I think the focus is just this game. I don't think there's any extra incentive needed

for Sam Bradford. I think the game plan though, has to be tailored as I said earlier, to passing the football, passing the football, opening up with passing. I just want to see them do it well and they put it that well. Yeah. I don't want to see them do it and do it in effective. I want to see them do it well. Yeah obviously, yeah, but they throw the ball better than they run the ball. That's just the way I see it. And it's just such a message offense. It's just not even close to what we

thought we would see in twenty fifteen. Jody Camera, thanks so much. Marry Christmas to you. We thank you for joining us here on Eagles three sixty. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas to all, and have a great Eagles night everyone,
