Some up, some downs, but at the end of the day, the Eagles leaving East Rutherford, New Jersey, with a victory.

On Sunday, Hello everyone, welcomed Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero with the Hall of Famer mister Brian Westbrook. And you know how it feels to kind of win ugly. It looks beautiful when it happens and then you talk about it afterward. But Brian, hey, the Eagles did what you said they had to do, no matter what it takes. Find a way to beat the Jets. That's right. They

did exactly what they needed to do. They looked at this team and they said, they have a pretty tough defense, but we have to be able to run the football, and this team is it's all about the run. They established a run early, the offensive line played great, and they found a way to win. And that's what it's

all about at the end of the day. Now, of course, there's some things that they have to fix, but anytime that you can fix things after a win, it's always better than fixing things after a long Yeah, and there are things that the Eagles are going to talk about as they get ready for the Washington Redskins on Sunday down at FedEx Field. We've got a lot to get to on the show. Some breakdown of the offense needs a lot of work. The defense played very well. Special

teams again, Darren Sprowles stepping to the front. Some concerns on the kicking front as well. Let's get to caught up with everything happening with this Philadelphiagles football team on this fine Monday. Head coach Chip Kelly's press conference today, some news to talk about. So it's time for Alex Smith and his Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone, I'm

Alex Smith with your three sixty update. No practice today here at the Novicare Complex for the Eagles, but the team is breaking down the film and moving forward from yesterday's twenty four to seventeen victory over the New York Jets. Today we heard from head coach Chip Kelly, who highlighted a pair of standout performances from two rookies in yesterday's win. I think our linebackers no exactly where the ball is going. Um, so you know, Jordan's really adapted and it's fit in

really well there in his first extended playing time. So um, we're you know, we're getting a lot of consistent play in terms of what we're asking our guys to do. They're doing on the defensive side of the ball. And you know, he's one of those guys. And it's a compliment when he say he never acted like a rookie. He's he's got a maturity to him and he's got and he's got a real good football mind in terms of being able to pick things up and diagnose things.

So you anticipate, you know, when you got a new corner in the game. But um, you know, he's he's been bounced around a little bit, you know, in terms of where he's been playing, been inside, been outside, He's been consistent when he's been outside a corner in the last couple of weeks and felt comfortable if we're gonna put him in the game at corner. Did a good job, and um, Devin Smith, who was the receiver he was covering,

can run. You know, he's a real speed guy. That was going to be a good challenge for him, and I did it. He had two passes strowing on on one of him was a real good breakup on him. In the second one was you know, he did a good job of flipping his hips and kind of shielding the receiver towards the sideline and made it made a good play on the ball. So hopefully for Eric it's what we felt, you know, he just he'll continue to grain some confidence himself because we believe he'd be a

really good corner. Perhaps the best player out in the field of MetLife Stadium on Sunday was Eagles running back Darren Sprowles, who not only rush for a touchdown but also returned to punt for an eighty nine yards score. Today, Kelly highlighted how great of a practice player Sprowls has been and how that consistent effort translates into the game just every day. I mean, there's one speed with Darren.

It doesn't matter. Every time he catches a punty scores a touchdown, and then when he goes out on the field, every time he gets blocked up pretty good, he's going to score a touchdown. I mean, there's there's a very consistent going back to what we talked about, there's a consistent approach to Darren Sprowls, and I've talked to our players about it. We pointed out all the time as coaches, I've never been around a guy and I've been around a lot of guys that practices as consistently as hard

as Darren does every single day. You know, but there's just that's just the way he's built and the way he's wired, and he you know, we always talk about you sink to a level of training, and what you see on Sundays from Darren is what we see every single day, whether it's a walk through or whether it's a practice, that's just you know, it's it's an amazing thing to watch. I wish more players would emulate it because it's you know, it seems like a pretty good

formula that's working. Be sure to keep it right here throughout the week for all of the latest Eagles dues, including live coverage of Chip Kelly, Sam Bradford, and Demiko Ryan's press conferences. All that action takes you into Sunday's pivotal matchup against Washington. Thanks so much, Alex. We've got some defense to get to, some special teams up next to the offense. Brian gotta talk about Darren's roles. I mean,

you can appreciate what he does more than anybody. You two are those rare athletes who can return kicks, hunts, make people miss, not the biggest guys in the world, run tough between the tackles, get to the edges. How does it work for him? Why is it so great? You know, it's great because he has a he has a heart. He has a heart of a champion. He has a heart of a guy that can go out and do anything in his mind. He can to accomplass anything, and we've seen over these past couple of years that

he's able to. And so when you need a big play, your offense is not clicking. Your defense is actually doing a pretty good job. Who do you turn to. Your turn to Darren Spros, And so you know, he catches his punt and he made three or four people miss on his punt return, and so it just kind of shows why he's so special. He's quick, he's athletic, he can make people miss any sean for his size. I love Darren Spros. I love what he brings to the game.

But I also love the fact that he's able to be used on offense and through the run game as well as the past game and special team. We're gonna talk a lot about Darren Sproles today when we return to Eagles three sixty. We talk about an offense that showed some signs of life. In the first half, things went the other way and half number two we'll talk about it when we return to Eagles three sixty. Hi, my name is Jim Taylor. I've been with attack Me for thirty four years.

We're back at Eagles three sixty Dave SPIDERO, Brian Westbrook. Let's talk about the offense, b West. The Eagles go into the game on Sunday without DeMarco Murray, without Josh Huff, with a lot of questions against the defense that had allowed just eight half

points per game. So what do they do. They pound the rock and they did it very well in the first half. Well, let's supply him because you when you're talking about the Jets, you're talking about a very good defense, very good front seven as well. And so the last thing that I thought the Eagles would be able to do, especially with the past two weeks in the play of the offensive line is run the football. But what happened

this week was an offensive line that came together. They finally jailed and they played on the defensive side of the line of scrimmage. Then they had to run it back. Ryan Matthews just random ball hard. He was downhill, one cut type of back and they looked, really, you're good, and they tried to get to the edge and they did so successfully. You know why, from a technical standpoint, is that the way to do it against a big, strong, stout defensive front. Yes, they have three guys on the inside.

There's gonna be very hard to move and so now you kind of want to run away from those guys. And the good thing about it, once you run away from those guys, they didn't have those guys on the outside that are able to handle the mask and the athletic ability of our offensive line. And I think Jim Kelly did something just a little bit different. When you talk about the first couple of weeks, you had guys pulling and coming around blocks and things like that. This

week you didn't have that. You had guys blocking man on man, everybody's zoning going in one direction. You didn't have as many people pulling, and that actually made all the difference in the world. And the run game certainly needs to be better. For a sixty minute period, Eagles did not run the football well at all, did not move the football in the second half where they had success early in this game. Brian is in the past game the wheel route to the running backs. No, what

are you looking for there? When you're scheming up team during the week. Why does it work? What's the matchup you want to see? Well, what you're seeing is you're saying they're gonna play man to man on the outside, and so you know, you know they have rivus and they have Primarti. Those are man and man type of defenders. That means now you have man to man as well with your linebackers versus your running backs, and so anytimes you have Spros as well as Ryan Matthews and am

able to play one on one with a linebacker. You had that advantage, and so yesterday they were able to take advantage of that several times. They missed a couple of times as well. But listen, anytime you have a linebacker on a running back, the running backs should have the advantage. I would imagine when it happened when you played, your eyes lit up and wanted you wanted that matchup. Yeah, Yeah, that's the matchup that you're looking for. We called it

in college. A running back an athlete versus a third, a guy that can't run, that can't cover you. You saw a bunch of the linebackers taking bad angles, bad pursuit angles, and Spros as well as Matthews was able to run right around them to be wide open. Let's talk about the passing game here. Sam Bradford fourteen of twenty eight, just one hundred and eighteen yards only one

wide receiver, Jordan Matthews catching the football. Zach Ertz quiet again, Brent Selacus more as a blocker, Brian, your thoughts on the passing game and the quarterback in particular, Yeah, when you talked about Sam Bradford coming into this season. You have to think about accuracy, getting the ball out quick, just knowing what a quarterback needs to do to be successful. Yesterday, he just missed too many passes. His accuracy wasn't there. A couple of balls just kind of flew on him.

He wasn't overthrows things like that. He has to be a much better passer in this offense if you want to get the other guys involved, and so Jordan Matthews, he's going to be involved because he has plays called for him. But you have to get Aguilar involved, you have to get Cooper involved, you have to get Miles off involved as well. But you need better play for your quarterback, and he had the protection yesterday. He has to play much better. He needs to be more accurate.

And the defense in Washington without D'Angelo Hall is still a really tough group down waiting at FedEx Field. Eagles also obviously with some questions up front. Andrew Gardner's injury obviously is a concern. What do you do at that position. When we return to Eagles three sixty, we're gonna talk about a defense that came to life on Sunday four takeaways and some young bucks growing up in a hurry. With extra twenty checking from Saint Andre, you can get

paid twenty dollars a month. Just direct deposit fifteen hundred dollars or more and paid two bills a month with the online bill pay feature, then you can get paid twenty dollars a month.

Eagles three sixty Dave Spadaro Brian Westbrook. Time to talk about the defense on Sunday that came to play four Takeaways. They stopped the run game and some players that we hadn't heard much of early in this

season really came to the forefront. And we're talking about Jordan Hicks and Brandon Bear and Walter Thurmont who's been outstanding, and Eric row So is this kind of the turning of the of the worm, if you will? For the Eagles defense, they've been pretty good, other than maybe that first half against the Atlanta Falcons, where you're right, they

have played pretty well this early this season. But I think the play from these young guys, Jordan Hicks in particular, you see a young guy that was just running all over the place, making plays sidelines to sideline. But the problem with a lot of young guys that you see him thinking too much. They're trying to think the game through. You're not just being natural, but that's not what you saw from Jordan Hits yesterday. You saw him making all

different types of plays all over the field. He had the big interception, but it didn't really it didn't really get going until Brandon Bear up front kept those offensive linement off of him. Brandon Bear did a great job. Yeah, Brandon Bear stepping in with Cedric Thornton, down, with Taylor Hart down. Bear is just one of those veteran players. He's gonna be thirty one years old this year, that is ready to play whenever called upon. Not a flashy guy.

Long Arms has done really well on special teams and on Sunday three passes knocked down tipped at the line of scrimmage, and that a huge help for the Eagles on the back end. Now, let's talk about that back end. A couple of interceptions, one from Walter Thurmant gets the feed in on the sideline, and Eric Rowe, who struggled so much in the preseason, a target the instant he came into the game and he held up on two plays down the field, a beautiful diving interception in the

end zone. Something of a bit of confidence boost for the young man. That's what it's all about especially at that position, the cornerback safety position. You have to have confidence. You have to continue to build that confidence. And in the preseason Eric Rowe got abused, just had been in that last preseason game. But he was able to get in this game yesterday and be able to build that confidence.

He had a big time pass breakup, big time interception and they came at timely points in the game for his football team. And so now he has more confidence in himself. Now the coaches have more confidence in him. That's going to make all the difference in the world for his rookie year. Ryan, let's talk about special teams. Drill quick. You obviously we're someone who's knows the punt return game and knows how difficult it is to bring back. Darren Spros catches the punt on the sideline. Take us

through what you think went through his mind. Well, see, the reason why most people want to kick the ball in the sideline is because it's much easier for the cover team to get down and it's a smaller space that you have the area to run. And so Darren Sproles caught it five yards away from the sideline and now he just picked up his blockers. He made a

couple of guys missed. You have to pick up your blockers, and so for the returner to make the score touchdown, you have to make either three or four people missed, and I think he made four people miss on that return. Darren Spros did a great job. He wiggled a little bit, he was slippery, and he had a birth at the end. Um great player. Yet another punt return for a touchdown by the Eagles in East Rutherford, New Jersey. What's up

with that, hey man? The Eagles love return to punts up, Yes, indeed, well and all of them his in two thousand and three, to Shaun Jackson's in two thousand and ten, and then Darren Sproles in two thousand and fifteen in the mini turn of season around. Maybe let's hope we're coming back on Eagles three sixteen. Just a moment talking about the

NFC East that is wide wide and wider open. What happened on Sunday and this past week in the NFC East, and a look ahead when we return on Eagles three sixty.

The NFC East is like the Grand Canyon of the NFL. It is wide open with plenty of ways to get to the top. We welcome you back, Dave Spidarow and Brian Westbrook and Brian the Eagles with one win, one game winning streak here all of a sudden, back in the thicket things in

the East. We never had a doubt. Well, you know, things have turned around just a bit. You're talking about the Cowboys having a quarterback that's missing, a big time receiver of missing. They end up losing yesterday. You're talking about the Giants. They found a way to win, but against the rescuings team. So this you're right, This division is definitely wide open. It's an opportunity for the Eagles.

They have to kind of take care of their own house and that they're able to do that, then they'll have a chance to win. This divie was shocking about the Dallas Cowboys. They go up fourteen to nothing to the Atlanta Falcons. They're playing in Texas, and actually from a MetLife stadium, we're kind of watching the highlights on the board, and all of a sudden, here come the Atlanta Falcons, Julio Jones, DeVante Freeman. What happened to a Dallas Cowboys defense that looked so good a week earlier

here at Frank at lincol Financial Poll. What happened was Julio Jones happened? I mean, and he was an absolutely a beast and they should have doubled teamed him even more. I think they tried to, but that defense, that secretary for the Cowboy just couldn't hold up to the passing, the attack of Matt and Ryan and Julio Jones, and then they were able to get three touchdowns out of DeVonta Freeman. So when you talk about guys, you have to stop with Atlanta, it has to be Julio and

of course the Devonte Freeman. The Giants really a nice win on Thursday night against the Redskins. The passing game expects to get Victor Cruz back for Eli Manning. Some injuries to be concerned with But I think at this point the Giants, after blowing two fourth quarter leads in weeks one and two, feel pretty good about being one and two. Getting the offensive gear and they've got a lot of other work to do. But with Eli Manning,

I never count the guy out. Yeah, anytime a team has a quarterback that's good, and Eli Manning is a good quarterback. Two super Bowls he's won. They have a chance, and so now they need to get their defense playing a little bit better. But when they won that game against the Redskins, now, just like the Eagles, they're trying to get that ball rolling, and so for them, they're excited moving forward, and they also understand that the division

is wide open. Shocking to me last week that the Washington Redskins were talking, chattering, chirping, perhaps they were the best team in the Nfcason that the Redskins were there, that the division was there for the taking for Washington. It all fell apart on Thursday night. More turnovers for Kirk Cousins, a serious injury on defense, D'Angelo Hall out for at least a few more weeks. Sean Jackson may play on Sunday when the Eagles go to FedEx Field.

But all of a sudden, the Redskins kind of looked like the Redskins. Yeah, what happened with the Redskins. The first couple of weeks, they were able to get their running game going, so Matt Jones and Alfred Morris were

able to dominate the game that protected their quarterback. However, last week against the Giants, they weren't able to get their running game going, and now Kirk Cousins had to throw the ball and they do not, absolutely do not want Kirk Cousins to be exposed and have to throw the ball more than twenty times a game, and when he does, he turns the ball over. That's what happened later. So the game plan for the Eagles defense, Bill Davids, in case you need any help from us, make Kirk

Cousins beat you on Sunday at FedEx Field. We've got more to get to here on Eagles three sixty we return in just one moment. With extra twenty checking from sant ANDERI, you can get paid twenty dollars a month just direct deposit fifteen hundred dollars or more and pay two bills a month with the online bill pay feature.

Brian, you're your thoughts here as you look ahead of the Redskins and the possibility of getting to two and two

and really making things interesting in this first month. Well, that sense of urgency that you had before this last game, you have to have that same sense of urgency coming up in this game against the Redskins. You can't allow anything to slip. You have to work a little bit harder, study a little bit more, stay more time after practice.

That's important for this football team. And I think once you get the ball roll on which they did last week yesterday, that now dalue those habits, that confidence will continue to build. I think it's important for this team to understand this is still a very danger risk in football team and they can't go into FedEx and expect just to get a win. And when they walk on the field. Yeah, I just feel like that win kind

of lets everybody breathe a little bit. A lot of really tight personalities, really a lot of tension at an overcare complex. Last couple of weeks, Eagles disappointed so much with the losses in Atlanta and to the Dallas Cowboys. So the win against the Giants or against the Jets, everybody's kind of exhaling a bit, and that brings out the best football. But there are some concerns here at kicker, at the offensive line, and getting the offense rolling. So we got a lot to talk about. Yeah, but they

got the win. That was the most important thing. They have some things to work on, and that's always in every game. We will have some things to work on, and so it's important that they work on those things, they clean up some of their mistakes and eras, and then they move forward to the next game. Yep. Let's merle Re said it last week. He thinks to today's NFL September is like an extended preseason, and so maybe we get ready for the first game of the real

regular season Sunday at FedEx Field. Brian Westbrook, thanks so much for joining us today. We've got a lot to get to tomorrow. Here it's our Ameroso's on the menu, look at what's ahead. I'm going to write about the defense a little later on today, and it's really coming along, believe it or not. There have been some changes on the back end, some changes a linebacker, Bill Davis working with some good pieces. It's all coming together for the Eagles.

Also on the show tomorrow, Glenn mcnow our first look at the Washington Redskins and Alex and Joe. It's our fantasy spin on Eagles three sixty. Brian Westbrook, I'm Dave Spidero. We thank you for joining us. Have yourselves a great Eagles Day.
