We welcome you into Eagles three sixty Eagles insider Dave's but they're along with Joe di camera Eagles preparing for Carolina, another primetime game for this football team, the prime time Eagles, and on Sunday night, Joe, it's a battle against an unbeaten and are they for real Carolina Panthers team? That's the question that everybody wants. How good at the Eagles?
And are the Panthers really that good? I still think Carolina is a little bit of a mystery, Dave, because you know, you look at the first four teams they beat this year, they weren't very good, and then last week what seemed to be a very impressive win versus Seattle. But now there's some confusion. How good really are the Seattle Seahawks. I thought they'd be very good at the very least. I thought they'd be strong, solid, maybe not
truly great like past couple of years. Carolina's got a quarterback in Cam Newton who's had an up and down career, but obviously a terrific defense is playing great defense right now. It's gonna be a challenge day for the Eagles on the road versus the Carolina Panthers. But here's the good thing. Eagles are playing their best football the year. They just come off a twenty point win versus the New York Giants. Obviously Sam Bradford has to play better, but the defense
was just electric versus New York. The pass rush was great and you want to keep that going. Yeah, a turnaround game for the Eagles. Is this the win against the Giants that gives the Eagles that moving forward momentum, Joe, that carries them to the top of the NFC East for good? Yeah? Well, they're there right now in its eye, and it's a weak division as we know, so we'll see if the Eagles are able ultimately to sustain what they've done the last two weeks and keep it going.
I think the Eagles are in pretty good shape right now, but of course it's not about just being good or just getting to the playoffs. You want to see the Eagles really hit their stride to become a great football team. And I think it's fair to say, Dave, they're not quite there yet for sure. For sure, absolutely lots to work on on this football team. Eagles on the training field today and the coordinators meeting the media and We've got you covered here at our Eagles at three to
sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update. The Eagles have a short week of practice here at the Novicare Complex. What they were back out on the practice field today as they get set for Sunday night's showdown in Charlotte against the Panthers. Today we heard from defensive coordinator Bill Davis and some of the defensive players about the challenges of defending the very talented Cam Newton. I played against
the mccomage. He's a big boy, and you know, I don't think you know, he's gonna take a few people to bring it down. You know, it's yourself tall and pound for tonight, So sometimes people bring it down. You know, Cam is really it does jump out at the progression he's made over his career in this year. He's he's really running the offense at a high rate right now. Oh man, he's a big he's a big guy. But you know that I'll take the credit from missabuilding them.
He can go the ball, can run the ball. You know, it's a good quarterback. Kind of alter your Russia a little bit because you don't want him to get out and beat him beat you with his legs. Yeah, I think that's what it give a lot of teams trouble. But for us, I feel like we just got to go in and just play like how we played last year.
Just go in relentless, make sure our rush is cohesive, we all attacking them, collapse in the pocket like which we did last week, and just read our keys and make sure we know where to be in the defense we call. While on the subject of the defense, it was a good sign for Eagles fans as linebackers Kiko Alonso and Michael Kendricks were back out on the practice field.
Alonso was limited, but Kendricks was a full participant here on Wednesday, and according to safety Malcolm Jenkins, the sooner that those two can get back into the lineup, the more talented this Eagles defense will be. I mean, whenever you get players in their caliber, Backe, it just makes you better, m you know so. But we also had guys step in and play huge for us. Jordan Hicks
been the main one. Nizigel came in to play well for us, and especially with Demigo, I don't know what his status is, but having a tweak of his hamstring or whatever it is to get those guys kind of
back into the mixes obviously good for us. Sam Bradford is coming off of the three interception game against the Giants on Monday night, but according to Pat Schermer, who was with Bradford during his rookie season in Saint Louis, it's all part of the process as he continues to work and get back out on the field following back to back knee injuries. I saw, like I said, I saw a lot of I saw a lot of good stuff. I saw a lot of things that we didn't see earlier.
There were times when he was running around in the pocket that we didn't see earlier. In the game. I think they're, you know, the obvious. You know, we had a couple of interceptions which you got to eliminate for whatever reason. And I think he will. I think he'll do that, and I think he'll continue to get better. You know, he hadn't played a lot of football in the last two years. We're bringing him back. You know,
we're fortunate enough to be winning games. However, we're doing it, and this thing is a sixteen game journey until hopefully you're in the playoffs competing to win it all. And so as we go through the journey, every one of us just keeps getting better. Thursday will be the final day of media availability this week, and be sure to stay tuned on Philadelphia Eagles dot com as we bring you the press conferences from Chip Kelly, Sam Bradford, and Damiko.
Ryan's thank you so much, Alex, I mean, Joe. Look, it is so obvious that the talk of the town is Sam Bradford. Nine interceptions out of character for him. Still, he's completed sixty three percent of his passes getting the football down the field. Eagles have won two straight games. You will read on the quarterback here, it's got to be a better day. He has to be better. He's
been disappointing so far this year. Sam Bradford. Right now, I think there's accuracy issues, there's awareness issues, there's pocket presence issues. Now he's helped the Eagles get to a three and three record from a one in three start, so that's advancement. But it's really been more about the defense playing well. The special team's playing better. Dave, I think Sam Bradford has got to get settled down and it's got to be driving Chip. Everybody agrees with that.
The question is how do you do it? Well. I think Chip's right to leave him in there. I know there's a lot of people that you know talking about switching quarterbacks. I wouldn't go anywhere near that. I mean to me, Bradford get Look, you've got ten more games to make an evaluation for his future and for the franchise's future, which is obviously a paramount importance to Chip
Kelly and the coaching staff and the entire organization. So you've got to find out why you have in Bradford, and you've got to hope that he's able to play through this. But I know this, having watched the film yesterday with y'alls and NFL Films, I don't think there's anything Chip Kelly's doing. It's putting Bradford in a tough position. He's got throws to make. They're simple throws. He's got to execute them better. He's got to play better football.
And it seems to come down, as the coaches say, a lot to the mechanics of Sam Bradford, the footwork and things like that. So it is a work in progress. For sure, and as Pat Schremer said today, it is a journey, this sixteen game regular season. Well, today's show certainly not a journey. We've got Chip Kelly coming up in a little bit. We've got to look at the NFC East up next though, on Eagles three sixty, we are gonna go a little cover two behind the scenes.
Chris McPherson talking with some Philadelphia reporters. I'm sure Sam Bradford will come up, so stay tuned. What do they think about the Eagles and the quarterback that's next?

With Eli Bomba Meeting one, we welcome you back at the Eagle three sixty Dave Spidero Joe the camera. Now Chris McPherson going head to head with a couple of Philadelphia reporters, Brandon League Gouton from Bleeding Green Nation, Josh Ponnell from Birds twenty four to seven. It's our Cover two.
Hello Eagles Vans. I'm Chris McPherson, and welcome to this week's edition of Cover two here on Philadelphi Eagle dot Com. In fact, we could say it's a first place edition after the Eagles be up on the New York Giants twenty seven to seven on Monday Night Football and now are in sole possession of first place in the NFD East for the time being. I'm joined this week by Josh Parnell, a Bird twenty four to seven and branding League gouton a Bleeding Green Nason. So, gentlemen, we look
at this win over the Giants. Is it a case of maybe the Eagles are better than what people expected over the last couple of weeks, or is it the fact maybe the Giants show their true colors are just not as good as a team as people thought. Josh could get the Stars off. Well, I think it's more of the Eagles showing their potential, because I mean, one of the biggest headlines out of the game was Sam
bradford struggles. But the defense as a whole, dominated offensive line I think had an underrated game coming into it. The Giants only gave up three and a half yards per rush, the Eagles had four point two. They gave him good pass protection and that's gonna be the key coming down the stretch. Obviously you want for Bradford to make strides, but if that running game can get going,
that's just gonna make it even easier for Bradford. So it is partially the Giants showing their true colors, but the Eagles definitely showed some of their potential at times. Brain I thought it was like classic Eli Gillow pressure m early and then all of a sudden, it's like things Paul Apart, what was your take on the game exactlete. You know, the defense really stepped off. As Josh touched on, I think you know you're really confident in that unit
right now. They've been playing well all season. I think that's the big reason why they are three and three despite a slow start, and they played really strong. And the run game is that's huge. I mean, you got that running game going against the top ranked Giants run defense. I think that was a huge takeaway from me on the Monday night. All right, So, Joel, what is your
level of concern when it comes to Sam Bradford. Chip Kelly was asked on Tuesday whether or not Sam should still be the starting quarterback and so you don't want to go down that road. He did have three interceptions. Brand I'll let you start this one off. Your take on Sam Bradford. Is it a case of you gott let him work through his struggles or is it at some point Chips gotta make a decision here. I think you have to let him work through it at this point.
I mean, I think he's the guy. I think it's it's hard to be very confident in him right now. Obviously second in the NFL in interceptions with nine. I think You've seen a lot of throws there that you just you know, they make you scratch your head. You know. You look at the one of those turnovers against the Giants, the one against the Saints where he throws an interception
to Brandon Browner, he has Riley Cooper open. You know, things like that are just I think it's really a shame really for this team because the defense is so good that if you can just get the quarterback playing well, I think, you know, this team has real potential. Judge, what's interesting about Sam Bradford is he never had these interception problems. You go back to his time in Saint Louis. Do you think it's just a matter of he's just acclimate to his offense and still working through the fact
that he didn't play for pretty much the last two seasons. Well, early on I was one of the big give him more time. It's a new offense. He guy hasn't played in a couple of years. But my level of concern isn't necessarily his play us the Giants. But I haven't seen a ton of growth from week one two weeks six, So that's what my concern is. You know, the interceptions, as you said, hasn't been a problem before, But why is it happening? Why is it happening at a higher rate? Now?
That's to me, And it's not just the throws. Sometimes it's the reds. You know, on the miscommunication with Riley Cooper, you could argue it was Riley Cooper's fault breaking off the route a little late, but he's still throwing it up in a double coverage if Friley Cooper keeps going. So to me, it's not just throws, but sometimes it's the reads as well. All right, gentlemen. Sunday Night football, the Eagles take on the undefeated Carolina Panthers. Surprise, I
guess we're saying the undefeated Panthers. At this point in the season, Eagles are first place, Caroline is in first place. Josh, how do you look at the matchup? Well, I think this is a Carolina Panthers team that's over achieved. They're five and oh, but all of the teams they've beaten are below five hundred when you look at them. Their run game of the yards were carriers in the middle of the pack. Kim Newton's passer rating is about the
league average. But what makes them stand out and why they're five and oh is they're tied for first and turnover differential and their second in the NFL an opponent passing rating, So that's going to be the big keys.
Can the Eagles defense get those turnovers as they had been recently and ken Sam Bradford limit the turnovers against this ballhawking defense, Brandon, it seems like a strength first strength here the Eagles run defense going against it Panthers rushing attack, which seems to really get going last week against Seattle. How do you preview the matchup? Yeah, I think the Eagles matchup especially while in defense. You look
at this Eagles run defense very solid this season. I think they'll be able to stop that the Carolina rushing attack. But then the question moves to will the Eagles be able to pass on Carolina secondary? Obviously Josh Norman leading all cornerbacks in the NFL with four interceptions. Panthers have a good defense. I think one area where they might be a little weaker is the run defense. I think they're about something like the middle of the league and
yards per rush attempt allowed. So maybe this is a game where the Eagles can take the progress they're into the run game against the Giants and try to keep that going. Brandley Gowton from Bleeing Green Nation and Josh Ponell from burst Way four seven, And I'm Chris McPherson. Thank you very much joining in this week's edition of Cover two here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks so much, guys, Joe, as you know, as you know Carolina. Next, that means
Cam Newton. That means Superman. How do you stop Superman? I think you make him throw the ball, Dave. I think you make Cam Newton play from the pocket as much. That's what I mean when I say throw the ball. Make him play from the pocket. Cam Newton's a player when he gets going, and look, he can run you over. He can run over of big time linebacker. He's that kind of physical presence. You want to keep him contained. Make him throw the ball down the field. Now, he's
got a cannon of an arm. I don't think Cam Newton's the most polished quarterback. There's some people who think sometimes I'm too hard on Cam Newton. Look, he's a decent flyer. Clearly, he's not one of the worst ten in the league. I don't think he's one of the best ten in the league. I think he's somewhere, you know, in that middle range. But he's got a five and not football team right now. And look, Dave, they had success two years ago, they're having success again right now.
So from a first one, first round overall pick standpoint, you got to give him credit. He has become the face of that franchise. And right now he's scotted his team to five. And and we will give you our first look at the Carolina Panthers in the morning right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com.

Time now to talk about the state of the NFC East, where one game separates the top the Eagles and the bottom the Redskins, and in between there's a whole lot of the same. Let's begin with the New York Giants, the team that came to Philadelphia on Sunday and this week host to Dallas Cowboys, expected to get some of their players healthy, including Victor Cruz.
I still think a team that in December will be right there at the top of the division, Dave, I think the Giants remain the primary foe for the Eagles to focus on the well, look, the Eagles got to focus on themselves, but I'll focus on the fact that I think the Giants will be the main threat to the Eagles. Now, what we saw the Eagles do on
Monday night was a fantastic performance at the link. Obviously not from the offensive standpoint and particularly the quarterback, but what the defense did and what a couple of things that stood out in that game. First of all, the Giants, and this is when Eagles are on the field. The Giants have no pass rush right now they I mean they've got a new pass rush now. I ain't gonna
change that isn't not changing. I mean, it's just you know, they struggled last year other than JPPA, and you know, here we go again without JPP, so they just don't have much there. I think the Russian attacks not very strong. Eli Manning last week played the kind of game that he can play a really not good game other games. I think he's got one of the strangest careers I've
ever seen a player have, Dave. I mean a plot players twice walked off the field a Super Bowl champion and many times walked off the field with you know, the whole world billing up. He's a very bizarre player, but he can be good, and that's I think the primary reason, Dave, why I think they remained the biggest threat to the Eagles. And then they host the Dallas Cowboys this week, and the Cowboys coming off of their bye week talking a little crazy about des Brian getting
on the field. If not Sunday, it could be happening very soon and possibly when the Eagles go to Arlington, Texas in a few weeks. But for now, the Cowboys trying to get things right at the quarterback position with Matt Castle taking the rains from Brandon Whedon a change at running back, the Cowboys searching Joe for answers with an all fence. It just has lost all of its punch, all of its power, all of its production. Biggest play, I think, probably for the entire season in the NFC East,
was when Jordan Hicks knocked out Tony Romo. It completely changed the entire complexion of the NFC East. Let me ask you a question, Dave, Giants Cowboys this week. From an Eagles standpoint, who do you want to win that game? I will always want the Giants to beat the Cowboys always it really I think it ultimately doesn't matter because the Eagles control their own destiny do I'm not really at this point matching this win, that win, that team,
this team. Everything's too closely well, and I think the Eagles win within the division. Moving forward here they're going to be fine. Well. I always look at how does it affect the Eagles and how are things matching up? But and I know what you mean. I mean, obviously the Eagles have their own fate in their own control, and that's what you want to have. And at three
and three, there's a lot of season to go. But the way I look at it is to me, this is confounding because ordinarily you would want the higher ranked team, in this case, the Giants at three and three, to lose. It benefits the Eagles. But there's something to be said for the Dallas Cowboys at two and three, and with Seattle the following week, and who knows how good Seattle as I thought they'd be good, there's something to be said for maybe just trying to cross Dallas off the list.
And I'm not saying, Dave, that's definitely going to happen if they lose this game. You know what I'm saying, They could. They could get really down, Joe. I've just been through it so many times that I just try not to predict wins and losses. There's going to be a game that you thought you were going to win that you lose, and there are games that you think
you're gonna lose that you go out and win. So it's gonna come down to December for the Eagles in the division, and that's why they've got to take care
of business in the vision. Yeah, obviously I will never root for the Dallas Cowboys, and I think that it's probably best that they lose these games now that they should be a pretty formidable team, should Dez Brian come back, should Tony Romo come back, for which which at some point you know Romo will come back, and that certainly will come back, and just be interesting how much they might be buried by that point. And they do get Randy Gregory back on defense this week, so that pass
rush should be improved. Pretty good pass rush already with the return of Gregory, and you know they're getting some little juice up in front, all right. The Washington Redskins two and four after losing to the New York Jets. They play Tampa Bay. Chance to get something good going here. But I think in Washington the feeling is that Kirk Cousins is just not going to get it done. Yeah, well, I will echo those sentiments. Kirk Cousins just is not
going to get it done. How about that. I mean, listen, he's not good enough, David. It's it's still annoying that he beat the Eagles a couple of weeks ago. Like it happens, it hurt the Eagles. We know that. It's why they're three and three instead of four and two.
I just don't believe in Kirk Cousins. I don't believe in Washington they popped off a couple of years ago and won the division Nargie three's first year, But you look at this fifteen twenty years span of time, it's just if you're going to bet, it's not a team I would bet on. I just don't believe Daves at the Washington Redskins and all of sudden done will be there. Of course, the Shaan Jackson's been out, the running game hasn't been as strong in recent weeks as it was
early in the year, and they got crushed by the Jets. Yeah, they've had a lot of injuries that are really hurting both sides of the football. So the division remains the division. Everybody's jumbled in there, trying to get healthy, trying to get system. I think that's what it's going to come down to in the NFC East. The team that is
most consistent will win this NFC East. When we returned to Eagles three sixty, Chip Kelly in studio talking about the win over New York and the big trip to Carolina on Sunday night, When you get away from smartphones and video games and tablets, it's amazing what you can really plug into this season.

Sunday night is the Eagles in Carolina against the parents, two
straight wins for the Eagles coach. Let's talk about this team first before we talk about Caroline in the front seven on Sunday against New York another strong at it. We've talked about it so much. What works so well as a group to make it fit well? I think there's consistency and who's there? You know, the same guys have been there for a while. You've got both our outside linebackers have been together with us for three years. So hasn't Demiko, So hasn't Fletcher, So, hasn't Benny Logan,
So hasn't said her Thornton. So's It's been the same cast of characters. They've had a great understanding of what we're trying to do defensively, and they're really skilled football park and this past defense zero X plays allowed. I know it was a huge priority. Leaving twenty fourteen, what's coming together with that group which has changed a lot
of personnel wise from last year? It really has. The only starter returning is Malcolm Jenkins, but when you add Byron Maxwell and Walter Thurman and Nolan Carroll in there, and then a guy who's not getting a lot of credit as EJ. Biggers, who's doing a really nice job for us as a extra defensive back that comes in, and Chris Maragos also comes in and on some of our sub packages also, that group's got a lot of continuity. I think we've got great leadership in both Malcolm and
Walter Thurman, so we're getting really good safety play. They're the guys that get us a line. They're the quarterbacks back there, and our corners were playing really consistent. And you know it's evident with Nolan having to pick six the first to his career or kind of along in those lines. You talk about the safeties and Bill seems to use them in a variety of ways. Does that flexibility really allow him to do other things to expand
the scheme. Well, that's what we want to do scheme wise, and our designments to have both safeties can cover, both safeties can play deep, both safeties can play in the box, and that's what we have now with Malcolm and Walt. Both of them came into the league as corners. Both very intelligent players, so they can play down on an open receiver. They can also play high because they both have great range. Brandon Graham really impactful on Sunday night
against the run, also good pass rush. What kind of progress have you seen from him? Really stepped up really in a leadership Role's done a great job, you know, kind of set the tone for those guys on the defensive side of the ball. We were excited to sign him back, you know. This past offseason was a great acquisition for us, you know, because he wasn't heading into free agency, even though he wasn't our team before, So to get BG back was a priority for us, and
we're excited. He's playing in a really high level right now on the other side of the ball. One receiver that not a lot of people talk about is Miles Austin. He's made some big catches, he's blocked well in the run game, talk about just the way he kind of fits into everything that you want to do, the complete
package at wide receiver. Well, we knew we were going to be young in their wide out room, you know, with Huff and Nelson and Jordan, so we wanted to bring in a veteran presence in there to add with Riley Cooper, and I think that's what Miles done. He's been a real good mentor to those young players. But he's also you know, played over fifty snaps on Monday night for us. He's an outstanding blocker. He's big, he's physical, he's versatile, and the fact that he can play in
the slot in play outside. Had some really big catches for us on Monday night. Even that's you know, that's what we thought we were getting when we got him out of Cleveland. The running game has been productive. What are you seeing to make that all work? The offensive line has really come together right now. They're executing stand on blocks, you know, getting a good push with the point of attack, and really pleased with how they played on Monday. Cam Newton is the guy that everybody talks
about in Carolina. Last year, came here, he had the ankle injury, wasn't quite there and Eagles really dominated that game. How's Camp played this year? What kind of roles he hadn't at all? He's been outstanding. You know. He's he's legitimate dual threat quarterback. There's more design quarterback runs for Cam than there are for probably anybody else that will
face this season. And he can also beat you with his arm, as he did to Seattle late in the fourth quarter against him, So he can make all the throws. He's big, he's physical, he's tough to bring down. You know, we we can generate a pass rush, but it's a little bit different generating a pass rush against him because he's a hard guy to bring down. He's you know, he's in that Ben Roethlisberger's size type where it's going to take more than one guy to get around him.
So it's going to present a good challenge to our defense. So is that message then everybody rallies to the ball with Cam. He's got a favorite target camp in a Greg Olsen tight end. What kind of challenges is he in terms of what he does so well out there, Very athletic, you know, can run routes like a receiver. But he's also the size of a tight end. He's in the Jimmy Graham category in terms out He can be a tough matchup for you to put a smaller dB on him. He'll exploit it. If you put a
linebacker on him. He's probably faster than them. So it'll be interested to see how we match up with Their defense has been a really good chip Luke Keikley and Thomas Davis at linebacker. When you watch them play, what do you see from those two guys, we feel it's the best pair of linebackers will face. They both are three down linebackers. They don't come off the field. They can run sideline to sideline. They both have outstanding speed.
They're both great at key and diagnosed in terms of plays. They only need to see schemes once or twice and then they can diagnose what you're doing and then run things down. It's a defense that plays. They keep everything in front of them, and then they rally and they kind of forced the ball to get to the linebackers. And you got two linebracks that are outstanding tacklers. Good luck on to night. Thank Brooke Montgomery. I never go

The Eagles defense has carried the way, and nobody expected this through six games, that the defense would be leading the way in the offense working to catch up. In your mind, is this defense four real playoff caliber, deep playoff run caliber, playoff caliber? For sure, There's no doubt about that the
defense is playing at that kind of level. Deep playoff caliber run really carry the entire team if the offense continues to struggle. I mean, you know, it's I don't think it's a dominant defense. It's going to take the Eagles all the way to the Super Bowl, are near there on its own, and the defense is going to need help from the offense. And that's really what was envisioned. I think with the moves in the off seasons, there really was balanced. So far, those moves have bolstered it.
Really it's been a couple of year process with the defense. Remember from a four to three prior regime to the three four in the switch in a two and a half years ago. They've made that transition very effectively. Fletcher Cox is the best player on the football team. He's one of the best players in all Pro football. The linebackers have been strong, the safeties have been excellent. I think the defense is really good, Dave, really good, But
I wouldn't say it's completely dominant. Yeah, it's played very well through six games. What's ahead for the Eagles, Well, they've got the Carolina Panthers on Sunday night. What's ahead for you here on Eagles three sixty. Let's take a look our Emrosso's on the menu segment. We're gonna have some bold predictions on Thursday from Glenn Macnow my co host Merrill Reese, the Voice of the Eagles, in studio
to talk about another prime timer. He loves them, And we've go behind enemy lines to find out about the Carolina Panthers. Are they that good? At five? And oh, we're gonna see, well, we are going to seat Dave. I don't like to talk bad about teams because you know they win. You play who's on your schedule and you win. And they showed a lot coming back to beat Seattle. That was really impressive because again, their first four teams they play were terrible. But but see, what
do you make of Seattle? It's weird. I don't know. I mean, if they're not very good, it devalues the I think Seattle's had two long football seasons. They've lost coaches. Yeah, they've lost players. That is why it is very difficult to have a dynasty in the NFL. You're good players are going to move on in free agency. Your good coaches are going to become head coaches. I agree, I mean you have to replace. I was having a conversation
with someone yesterday. We're talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers in nineteen seventy nine probably would not have won the nineteen seventy nine Super Bowl if there was a salary cap in nineteen seventy two and seventy three and seventy four and seventy five. You don't get to seventy nine. Seattle's dealing with a salary cap age the NFL where players league. Yeah, and that's what we're seeing with the Eagles. A lot
of changes this year. Takes some time to build, to grow, to come together, and maybe we're seeing the Eagles get hot at just the right time. Well, thank you for joining us here on Eagles three sixty. For Joe to camera, I'm Dave Spidero. Thank you so much for joining us. Have yourselves a great Eagles night.
