Speaker 1

Hello, everyone, Welcome Eagles, three sixty Eagles and Saturday SPIDERO. Glenn macnow on this Thursday in Philadelphia, and we are ready for the Dallas Cowboys. The question, Glenn is, is Eagles offensive line ready for Greg Hardy and Randy Gregory and that very good group up front. You decided to start with the top right. Yeah, I'll give you eighty six randomis I mean, that's the toughest one story of the day. Well, it is the story of the day.

And Jason Peters doesn't practice again today, and so far this year, nobody who has failed to practice on Thursday has played on Sunday. That doesn't mean it can't happen, but it's not looking great right now, which means that Lane Johnson gets to debut at left tackle, where we all figured he would eventually be, maybe not this year, maybe not yet. And here's this is my biggest concern. So so He's gonna play left tackle, which means that

Dennis Kelly's gonna play right tackle. Were Tobin Covin plays outside of tackle, Kelly plays inside and guard. But the right side of the line is a little untested, which to me means guess where they're gonna move Greg Hardy. Yeah,

I mean they're gonna move Greg Hardy around. They're gonna flip flop with Randy Gregory, who's no slouch, very quick off the edge of the Eagles will have to make adjustments and it is a game of adjustments throughout the twenty fifteen season, a lot of stress on this coaching staff. And it's a great test for Chip Kelly. It's a great test for the offensive strategy. It's a great test for how they want to block this thing up. It is and kind of this is the time. I know

everybody hates must win. I'm not gonna give you must win. Actually I'll tell you it's must win for the Cowboys, which makes me a little bit nervous, but not that much. But yeah, if you just want to look at the offensive line, that's the biggest challenge of the the Eagles are gonna have. They're gonna have to protect the quarterback. He's gonna have to not fumble the ball. He's gonna have to not throw interceptions. And this is the game where you learn if the Eagles are in fact contender. Yeah.

We heard from Sam Bradford yesterday and he feels like he's making progress slowly, steadily, and maybe Glenn in the big picture here, we kind of just went overboard on after watching the Eagles in the preseason pile up the points leave the NFL and points scored, thinking that would cross over to the regular season so quickly. Nah, But you know what, and I keep thinking this, and presumably I'll be right one of these weeks that they're gonna snap and the offense is gonna come together. And we've

seen this with Chip Kelly's team. We've seen an offense that becomes unstoppable, and we've seen it in the regular season. I haven't really seen it yet this season except bits and pieces. Maybe this is the week we'll see a lots going on with the Eagles. Today. Let's take you out to the training field. We've got Alex Smith our Eagles three sixty update. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update. A cloudy Dave work here at the Novacare Complex for the Eagles as they

get set for Sunday night's game in Dallas. Today, we heard from Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, who spoke about how the Eagles running game was mapped out at the beginning of the season when both the Marca Murray and Ryan Matthews were signed to the team. We didn't sell anything. We were just very honest in terms of what we're doing, and we were bringing two guys in here and those are the two guys we wanted. So explained it straight out.

They knew that they were both here. They're actually both here at the same time, so they knew exactly what was going on. And I think there's any selling job that has to go on and says, this is what we do, here's the offenset we've run, and these are the guys we want to have be a part of it.

And they both liked it. So while there have been a lot of questions about how the Eagles would distribute carries between Murray and Matthews, today Mary spoke about how it doesn't really matter how many carries he gets as long as the team comes away with a win. Like I said, I knew, Um, you know, that's a discussion that we've had and you know, I'm not going to share what we had, but like I said, this is you know, this is a good team. You know, obviously

this is our team. We're not making any changes. This is you know what we have with you know, us as individual players, we got to step up every single day. We can't look back and say, oh we had this, I had that, And this is a group of guys that we're going to battle with and every single day you got to come to work and put your heart hat on him and learn and can try to be had the white belt mentality that we talk about just learning the new things. Continue to grind and grind and

grind until it gets fixed. For Mary, this weekend's game will be his first visit back to Dallas since leaving the team via free agency. Today, Mary spoke about how it's just another game as the Eagles SOPs to get back to their winning ways. I don't think it will be you know, I spent a lot of time there, but you know I'm here now and you know this is where I've been and obviously I'm sure emotions be high for you know a lot of people. But just

another game. And finally, an injury update here from the novicare Complex. Linebacker Kiko Alonso and left tackle Jason Peters once again did not practice, nor did running back Ryan Matthews. Full participants in today's practice where Kiko Alonso, Nelson Agilor, Brandon Bear and Brian Brayman. And for all the latest Eagles news, be sure to keep it right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks so much, Alex, We've got so much to get to today. Great show for you.

We are going to hear from Meryl Reese, the Voice of the Eagles, in a bit. This guy's got some bold predictions, which presumably he will get right. But when we return, I guarantee you I'm not gonna be one hundred percent. Well that's that's he got one right. When we return to Eagle three sixty, we go behind enemy lines talking Dallas Cowboys in just one moment. Hi, my name's Jim Taylor. I've been with back me for thirty four years.

It's Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero glennmac Now. Time now to go behind enemy Lines Chris McPherson with David Hellman from Dallas Cowboys dot Com The Reeling Cowboys. Can they keep it going? On Sunday night? Hello everyone, it's time to go behind enemy Lines here on Philadelphigas dot Com. This segment is presented by Garrett. I'm Chris McPherson and I'm gonna welcome in from our sister site, so to speak,

Dallas Cowboys dot Com. David Hellman who rights for the team's official site, David, look at the quarterback position there for Dallas. What does Maccastle bring to its table that gives the team the best chance to win on Sunday Night against the Eagles. You know, has it would have been an easier question to answer a week ago coming off that loss of the Giants. I mean, he did have three interceptions in that game, but you know, he

threw it around, He hit some deep targets. He had the confidence to go downfield and stretch the Giant secondary. Fast forward a week and he didn't turn the ball over against Seattle, but he only threw for ninety seven yards on the day. Granted, Seattle's got about as good

a secondary as they call him in the NFL. But it didn't leave a whole lot of I didn't lead to a whole lot of inspiration around the fan base and around the NFL about you know, his ability to utilize Dez Bryant and the Cowboys other targets in the passing game. I still think he's probably the best option

because we've seen him do it before. He does have a you know, an eleven year track record in the NFL of being able to do that, so I think it's back to the drawing board and trying to find a better way to get all of these guys utilized. Like I said, he showed the ability to do it

against a pretty good Giants defense. So it's gonna be interesting to see how they responded that setback against the kat It'll be very interesting for the standpoint where the Eagles saw Castle with the Vikings a couple of years ago. He toured him for nearly four hundred passing yards Minnesota got the upset win. Well, it would be that Castle or the one that we saw last week when he played for the Cowboys against Seattle. You mentioned des Bryant David.

How encouraging was it for the Cowboys even though he didn't have the numbers, just two castes for twelve yards, to come out of the game healthy. Yeah, I mean I think, you know, obviously a disappointing result. I mean, they didn't win the game and he only had two catches for twelve yards. Richard Sherman really erased him from the field, so to speak. But like you said, I mean, he came through it healthy. It's only been seven weeks since he broke his foot, so he's right in that

range where you were expecting him to come back. Obviously a lot of speculation about how healthy he is, but he practiced today, the first day of operation for the Eagles. He figures to practice fully this week, so it certainly doesn't look like there have been any setbacks. Otherwise, I think he would have seen him you know, pulled off the field or at the very least limited. So that's certainly a good sign. Now now it's just a matter of getting him the ball, getting him involved in the

game plan. And again, you know, like I said, I think it's about as good a secondary as there is in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks, So it'll be interesting to see how they adapt against Philadelphia. David Stephen Jones said this week that he does not regret the decisions not bring back to Marco Murray to Dallas office. He's signed here with the Eagles. He talking about Arren McFadden and he's done to steal the starting running back job.

He's been the feature guy head over one hundred and twenty yards of all purpose offense against Seattle last week. What has he done to secure that job? Yeah, you know, I mean, I'm not gonna say that I'm not going to confuse what Darren McFadden has done these last two weeks with DeMarco Murray's eighteen hundred yard season here in Dallas last year, but McFadden has probably been the closest they've come to Murray since he left. I mean, he pounded away on the Giants for one hundred and fifty

yards on twenty nine carries. Not the best day against the Seahawks. I mean, he only averaged three point two yards per carry, but he just consistently gained yards, and he's softened up that defense. And you know, we already talked about how bad the Cowboys passing attack wasn't that game, So all of those things considered, I think you'd have

to call it a solid performance. So through two weeks at least, he's kind of showed that ability that DeMarco did last year to take twenty to thirty carries a game. And I think that's really Jason Garrett's focus these last couple of years, especially with this offensive line, is you know, it's not necessarily about making big runs or breaking big plays every down, but you want to consistently pound and tire out that defense and soften him up for the

fourth quarter. I think that's something mccadden's been able to do these last two weeks. The big question for him is, you know, how how well can he hold up? I think injury concerns have been one of the biggest storylines of his NFL career, and he certainly hasn't been a guy that's been used to getting you know, twenty to

thirty carries a game on a consistent basis. So this will be the third week in a row where he figures to be the primary running back and you know, and I think it's crucial for the Cowboys that he stay healthy and stay productive. David looking at the defensive side of the football for Dallas a player, I want to ask you about his first round pick Byron Jones

and the way that the Cowboys have utilized him. He's been a safety, He's also been used as a slot corner going against the tight ends like Brent Cell Again, zach Ertz on Sunday Night, how do you think Beagles or how do you think Dallas will try to defend Beagles tight ends? Yeah, it's been really interesting. I mean, and you know, kudos to Buyer and he took over

a starting safety job last week against the Seahawks. But really the story of his rookie year has been, you know, he's been the guy that they use in nicolinime situations. Like you said, the tight end has kind of been in his primary target. I mean, he played fantastically against Arts up in Philly in Week two when the Cowboys won that game twenty to ten. He held Rob Gronkowski to about his pedestrian a day as you can expect. I think he held him to sixty yards on four

or five catches in that game. He certainly didn't kill the Cowboys the way he's killed a lot of other teams. So you know, for that reason alone, I really thought the Cowboys would probably keep him in that nickel dime role, but they moved him up into the starting lineup last week.

And you know, his versatility is amazing. You know, they drafted him thinking he'd probably played corner, and all of a sudden, he's playing nickel dime corner and now he's a starting safety and he's done well at everything they've asked him to do. So it's been impressive considering he's a rookie. What all he's able to do. I think you'll probably still see him move down and move out wide and deal with some of these tight informations when you know when Felic and Arts are out there, or

potentially when they're both out there. But you know, for the time being, it looks like he's going to be handling starting safety job duties as well, which is just kind of a testament to how well he's handled everything. David Helban from Dallas Cowboys dot com, thank you very much for taking us behind Enemy allnes presented by Gatorade here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thanks so much, Chris, thanks so much, David. Good talk, factual talk about the

Eagles and the Cowboys. So we go from the real to the bold, and that's Glenn mac now who comes down the pike with some big bold predictions for Sunday Night one, two, three coming up, and Dave, I feel really confident about two of them. They're coming up right after this. The tournament is there. You're here, and before you take the team star midfielder from here to there, along with his entourage, you have some things to do,

like finding a place to stay. It's getting an oil change, upping out the best route yes, are we there yet? No roadside assistance, not today, but always on call.

dot org. Slash Duncan Philly, Dave Spiderow, Glenn macnow with you. It's Eagles three sixty here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com, and it's now my time to sit back and chuckle as Glenn macknow offers three of us five bold predictions for Sunday. Here you go here you go. Number one, the Eagle. This includes Sam Bradford. By the way, the entire Eagles will not turn the ball over this game. The Dallas Cowboys defense has only four turnovers all year. Of course three of them were against the Eagles in

that first game. But they don't get the ball, they don't force turnovers. They're not going to do it. It's going to be a perfect zero turnover for the Eagles this week. You're like that one critical if the offensive line comes together. We don't know the status of Jason Peters at this point, so clearly, if the Eagles win the battle up front, that makes it a whole lot easier for Bradford, for DeMarco Murray, for Ryan Matthews, and for a pass catching corps that needs to secure the football.

All right, Number two, little more optimism on this one. DeMarco Murray will rush for one hundred yards this game. I know I predicted this earlier this year, and I think it would get eighty five something like that. I got close. But here you go. Dave Spidero the lead runner on opponents against the Dallas Cowboys since they played the Eagles, which would include DeVante Freeman, Mark Ingram like Garrett Blount, or Leans Darkwa and Marshawn Lynch have averaged

four point six yards per carry. You can run on this team, Orleans Darkwa, for God's sakes, Yeah, you can run on this team. The Ryan Matthews, of course, is a little uncertain. I think Murray's gonna get the carries, and I believe he will get those hundred yards. Going back to Dallas big incentive this week, and he's talked about it today. He's very stoic. It's just another game.

But do you know that DeMarco Murray is going to be fired up to go back to that stadium to the people he knows to put on a good show. I wonder what the reaction will be from the crowd in Philadelphia. How would they react, Well, we reacted great when Donovan McNabb came to town and Brian Dawkins came to town, and Andy Reid came to town. So I expect a classy reaction from the Dallas Cowboys crowd and then clasback Dallas Cowboys stand. I think I'll have a

big game. Also, there you go, all right, here you go. Number three? Actually one more optimism. Kiko Alonso's coming back, and I think we're gonna finally get that Kiko Alonso that everybody thought when the Eagles picked him up in the Lashawn McCoy trade. Remember, this guy was the AFC actually the NFL defensive rookie of the year in twenty thirteen. We haven't seen that kid yet. He floats to the ball,

he's instinctive. Actually, here's the prediction. He will either get a turnover, force a turnover, receive a turnover, or have a sack this game. It's going to be big time return for Keiko Lunch. It will be remarkable if he has that kind of impact after not playing for more than a month here, after playing very sparingly in the preseason. To think that a guy can come right in and just boom make an impact, then you're speaking about a very special player. And I think Kiko has great ability.

I just think there's some rusts to be knocked off here, Glenn and I hope. So this is why they're bold prediction. I understand it. I'm actually he'll come back and be okay. I'm looking for a I'm looking for something like Keiko Alonso will hold Jason Witten to under thirty yards receiving. That would be a bold prediction that I would buy and that would be a big impact. Well good, So next week you can grade me on. We've got two more coming your way from Glenn on the Kickoff Show

on Sunday Night at seven thirty. Got you covered all all the way through the Eagles and the Cowboys game on Sunday Night Football in America. When we return the Voice of Eagles, Merrill recee in studio another Eagles Cowboys game for him and possibly talking about I must win for the Eagles. When you get away from smartphones and video games and tablets, it's amazing what you can really plug into this season. Shop the brands you love, plus

thousands of items on sale. Mount Sports Authority all things sporting good. I got tickets, Metro tickets. You need a Metro ticket? Talk to me, please. I don't even know these real tickets. If you know, just just a touch it. How this leather legit? I mean, how do we really know? It looks good? Right? I'm meta, No, I'm paying myself. I gotta make GM. Does the baby need a Metro ticket? I'll give her one on me. These tickets they're not

stealing your soul. You can look at them may nobody wants to buy tickets from a guy on the street. I don't understand. One day, a writer made a decision, the decision to ride on saving money. He decided to save money by switching his motorcycle insurance to Geico. There's no shame in saving money. Right on, right proud Geico Motorcycle, great rates for great rides. The voice is rested, the energy level is always up, and the Eagles are back in the football field. That makes this guy very happy.

We welcome into the studio the great Merrill Reese. Back from the bye week, which I know we all enjoy it, but it's no Eagles football, So no. I mean, I have a good time during the bye week. I relax, play a little golf, watch a lot of football, but I wish it were twenty straight weeks plus. Well, we've got a big one on Sunday night. Merril Eagles Dallas. Cowboy's first question, must win? I know mathematically it isn't,

but in your mind must win for these No? No, because must to me also indicates mathematical and late in the season, when things are all at the point where you cannot afford to lose. Now, I'm not telling you that a loss would be good or accepted by anybody. I certainly think a win would be huge, but it's not do or die because of the mathematics involved in the NFC East, where the lading teams have four loss I will never ask you again until it is a

mathematical It doesn't exactly I thought. For example, I thought earlier this season the Jets win was a must win because they didn't have any yet. They needed to win that game. At that point, that was almost a must win. He didn't want to go Ohen three, who goes anywhere? If you're oh and three, you can come back from Owen two and have a season, But Owen three almost historically knocks you out of the box. So that was more of a must win. Again, a win in Dallas

or Arlington, Texas would be huge. Biggest concerns playing the Cowboys, particularly from the Eagles offensive side of the ball. That first meeting went so poorly for the Eagles. It did, it did. They've got to be meticulous, They've got to be accurate. Sam Bradford's got to have a very good game.

The receivers have got to start catching the football. And I think they can and I think they will, and I think this is a team that really needed to buy more from an emotional and mental standpoint than from a physical standpoint. The offensive line picture is unclear. Jason Peters not practicing on Thursday, we don't know about Friday or Saturday. If the Eagles have to re arrange and put Lane Johnson, for example, at left tackle Merrill, how

does that impact the offense? And it done significantly, I know that, But in your mind is Chip say, Okay, we now have to max protect him. What kind of adjustments? What do you have to make? I don't know. I mean, he won't even broach things like that at his press conference, is his media sessions, he basically says, we'll deal with that when it comes. I'm not going to I'm not going to deal on hypothetical. See he may unaffuse that word this time, but he said it many times and

we get his message. So I don't know what he's going to do. It would seem logically that you're going to take Lane Johnson and make him the blindside protector. And I think eventually Lane Johnson's going to be a left tackle anyhow, although I'm not so sure that Jason Peters isn't going to be the one lining up, because usually when there's a chance he is out there, he goes down and you think, oh, he's done for the season, and then suddenly he rises and he's ready and he's

a top flight protector. Your view, Merrill on the running back situation DeMarco Murray and Ryan Matthews, Where do you go there? How would you like to see those carries divided? Well, I think the guy who was going to come into this game with a lot of emotion, not the kind of emotion that plays with you, but the kind of

emotion that you play with, is DeMarco Murray. He's playing against the team who basically said to him, we think a lot more of Dez Bryant than we do of you, despite the fact that you set all kinds of franchise records with your yards from scrimmage and everything else that he had that he not records because that was Sammon Smith, but led the NFL in yards from scrimmage and ball carries. I think I think that he's got a lot in him who carries the ball more, Meryl, You make the

call DeMarco Murray DeMarco Murray for two reasons. Number one was the scenario, and number two was the fact that that at this point Ryan Matthews hasn't been active in practice. He's done some drills, but next to his name in the daily report is the parentheses, and in that parenthesis it says growing. So I don't know that he's one hundred percent. If you are Bill Davis merriland you're going against Matt Castle and you know des Brant is out there, what are you trying to take away one, two and

three from the Cowboys? Well? I think number one does Bryant. I don't think he played particularly well in last week's game against Seattle, but that was his first game back in ages. But he's their weapon. He's the guy who can really put teams on their heels. He's the guy who last December almost single handedly wrecked the Eagles. Of course, Tonny Rumbo had to get him the ball, but does Brian at his best is very very difficult to stop.

So I think he's the number one guy. You can't take him away, but you have to minimize what he does to you. Okay, number one? Who's number two? Number two? I think that you've got to account for Greg Hardy. He is, Okay, you're just talking about offense, Bill Davis versus the offense. Bill Davis versus the offense. Okay. I think the Cowboys running game doesn't really worry me too much. Darren McFadden is a is an average or slightly above

average back. There's no more Joseph Randall. They deep six him. So I think the biggest thing the other guy you always worry about. His number eighty two, the guy who has caught more passes than anybody in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. That's Jason Witten. So you'd take those two guys away. And then there's the other guy who annoys me. He always annoys me. I'm thinking, what is he doing out there? But he hurts the Eagles? Is

Cole Beasley? That number a little number eleven. I will tell you that my number one is the offensive line. I think the Cowboys will try to run the football and jam it down the Eagles throw. I don't think, well, it's gonna be a great match up Eagles interior, and I think that's the agreement. Meryl. It's not a must win, but it's a very big game, very meryle recent studio here on Eagles three sixty on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Hi, my name's Jim Taylor. I've been with back Me for

Learn more at Philadelphia Eagles dot com, slash santandair. We are back, Dave Spidero, Glenn mac Now we're gonna come back in a moment

talk about the Cowboys and Eagles. But first, the game plan crew might quicken I Greece discussing well one of the offensive linemen who he was going to be key on Sunday night, a progress report on guard tackle offensive lineman Matt Tobin. All right, my progress report brings us to Matt Toby's been our starting right guard pretty much all year long. Had to switch over left tackle last game Jason Peters was injured early. I thought he did a pretty good job here at filling in for Jason

Peters on such a short notice. I sold on him several times, and he did a really nice job filling in. But he's just gotten better and the offensive line has gotten better because of it at guard as well as his play at the left tackles. So you watch him here again, this run play. He's on a tag team block here and he gets up to the second level. And that's the difficult position these guys find themselves in playing line for the Eagles, is that you're gonna have

to do more than just single block. More often than not, you're gonna have to do tandem blocks. Nice job of Matt Tobin right there. Watch him here against Jared Allen here on the outside again. He knows he's gonna be one on one with Jared Allen. But I like his I like his quiet feating what I mean by that, he doesn't seem to panicking. He trust his technique and he punches at the right time. Looking at Jared Allen on the ground, you know this is not a normal,

average pass rusher. This is one of the better pass rushers in our league. And he does a really nice job on him, gets him to the ground and giving Sam Bradford's space to work in the pocket. Watch him here again, single it up on Jared Allen again. I like his technique. He knows he's single blocking here. He's gonna get the punch in there. He's gonna riding by Listen, you're talking about three or four feet and betaking he and Sam Bradford. That's how you keep your quarterback clean.

That gives your quarterback a lot of confidence to throw the ball, to stand in that pocket and make throws. This is just outstanding played by the offensive line and they need a lot more of that. Again, being forced in a difficult position having to fill in, but Jason Peters did a nice job. He'll be back at his natural spot at right guard, where he's been doing a fantastic job all year. Thanks so much, guys. We've got

a feature coming your way online here. We're gonna call it and Glenn and I did it on Tuesday talking about some of the Eagles that we felt so the Cowboys that we disliked the most. Well, now we're gonna talk about the Eagles heroes in this rivalry against the Cowboys. Will tease you with some of the runners up, the guys who didn't make the list. I'll throw one out there,

go ahead. Joe scar Patty nineteen sixty six, stole the ball from Dan Reeves, saved the Eagles win before my time, before your time, but significant to those who were there. I like old school, all right. I'll give you an old one. Timmy Brown, Timmy Brown, the great Timmy Brown head to receive me too, returning excuse me? Touchdowns in one game against the Dallas Cowboys. Not bad? Eh? How about this one? Jesse's small nothing they ever do the Bounty Bowl. How about this one? How about how about

the guy? This guy does not make our list. Wilbert Montgomery doesn't make our list. No, I guess he does. Have the big run against the Cowboys in the nineteen eighty NFC Championship game. Touchdown sent the crowd into delirium. He's not on our list, all right, one of my favorites, and again close but not quite. We talked about this guy earlier in the week, Bobby Taylor.
