Eagles 360: Which QB Gets The Call?

to see not missed opportunities. I want to see a defense that wants to go out there and actually hit people. I want to see toughness. That's what I want to see. And I want to see sixty minutes of aggressive football. If you make a mistake through overaggression, I can live with that, But passivity no more. I spoke to Brian

Westbrook about this yesterday. It is really remarkable to me that two weeks ago we were sitting here after beating the Dallas Cowboys and speaking of the opportunity in front of the Eagles, his carpet that was rolled out in front of him with games against Miami and Tampa Bay and Detroit and no boy Well, instead of taking advantage of that, the Eagles of lost games against Miami and Tampa Bay, which sets up this very crucial game against

the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. It's remarkable to me, and I think Chip Kelly was right after being asked after Dallas, Hey, was this a launching point? It didn't turn out to be. Why do you think that is? Why do I think

it is? Because this team couldn't make stops and do things when it had to do it, Dave, If you want to put it down to any one series of plays, it's clearly the start of the third quarter side against Tampa Bay, when Tampa Bay, with a rookie quarterback and a lot of young players and not the best offensive line in the league, drove the ball eighty yards in nine and a half minutes and no Eagle made a big play. You want to say, why it is? You just boil that thing down and spread it over two games,

and that's what we've seen. Yeah, So we'll talk about the game. Glenn will have his five takeaways here in just a moment. We'll also talk about the NFC East, which Hey is still there for the taking. I can't. I can't do it. I know you're right, it's true. It is true. You know what, Call me at the fourth quarter on Thursday and we can retalk about it. Okay, I will do so. And of course we are talking fantasy football as you can get your lineups in before

Thursday's games. Let's get your caught up on everything happening today at the Novacare Complex. Will walk through for the players. We've got your update right here. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is your three sixty update. Another day I work here at the Novocare Complex as the Eagles gets that for Thursday afternoons Thanksgiving showdown with the Detroit Lions.

The big story throughout the week has been surrounding the Eagles quarterback situation, and today we heard from offensive coordinator Patch Shermer, as well as from both Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez on where that quarterback situation is as of right now. We'll see, we'll see. You know, we won't learn more. We won't learn anymore today because today's will walk through as well right now for me to speculate, you know, I don't want to lead anybody down the

wrong path here. I don't know. I really don't know. We're gonna go out and walk today, Tomorrow we're going to run. We gotta see who's healthy and then we'll make that decision. I'm sure coach will get that to you. You know, like I said, it's kind of hard to throughout a percentage or you know, gauge chances on going. Like I said, I think if it continues to progress and it gets better, then you know, I'd like to be out there. But you know, ultimately it's going to

be you know, in the trainers and in the coach's hands. Oh, I'm not worried about it. It's uh, you got to prepare and take all the reps seriously. So that's what I've done all week and I'll be ready to go on Thursday. Meanwhile, on the d defensive side of the ball, that the Eagles are looking to forget about last Sunday's lost to Tampa Bay, a game in which they gave

up over five hundred yards of total offense to the Bucks. Today, inside the locker room, we heard from Tamiko Ryans and Fletcher Cox, as well as from defensive coordinator Bill Davis. I what the defense needs to do this time around on the short week. Yes, I don't want to dwell on this anymore. I'm glad we're playing Thursday. I'm glad we have a short week because of that performance. Had we've been one of our better ones, I probably said no,

I would have liked more time. But trying to get that behind you and put it to bed, give it the attention to do fix it, get it right, but move on, and we have a confident, good group of guys that we'll get it fixed. Yeah, I don't. I don't think it's personnel because the guys that we have, we've gotten it done with the group that we have. So to say it's personnel as not fair as is. We had a really horrible outing that was very uncharacteristic

of our team. So I look at it as that was just a horrible day that you would like to forget and move past, and let's go back this Thursday to be in our sales. Play in a way that we're capable of playing. I think emotions, if you're playing with emotions, you get it gets to you, you know what I mean. I think if you know you go out and play, you know, you know for each other and as a team. You know you have great a good,

great game on Thursday. That will wrap things up. Here from the Novocare Complex for all the latest Eagles news, including an updated injury report. Be sure to stay tuned throughout the week right here to Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Thanks so much, Alex, your heart of hearts telling you it's going to be Mark Sanchez or Sam Bradford. My heart of hearts tells me it's one more week of Mark Sanchez. Okay. I mean, you know Bradford coming off

a concussion and a shoulder injury to play ten days later. Now, I think you keep him out one more week is logic. And I believe that somewhere in the next segment here, which are going to be Glenn's five takeaways from Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, somewhere in there we are going to hear you talk about Mark Sanche. I just believe that, Dad. You believe it's gonna be favorable or not so much.

And that is what's up next. It's on the edge of your seats time, Glenn mcnow's five takeaways from Sunday's game. And I promise that is the last time we're gonna talk about the Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Duncan's new sweet black Pepper Bacon Sandwich.

It's part of the show Glenn McNeill's Five Takeaways. This is his first time really speaking about that disappointing loss, and he's gonna put it, I know, in a context that helps us vault into the future. Yes, I wish I'd brought a shovel. Right, They're gonna just buried this out. Here's

number one. Dave spiderra If the other team can keep anticipating your plays, you need to find some new plays. You need to expand the playbook. Chris Conti of the Bucks, who intercepted one of those passes, said that by the third quarter, once they figured out the pace, they kind of knew what was coming. We heard this earlier in the season against Dallas. Again, the fast pace is terrific, but if the other team kind of knows what you're

gonna run you gotta add to the repertoire. The argument would be that in the NFL, most teams know the plays, the defense knows with the offense is going to do, and it becomes a matter then of execution. That is what you hear from the coaches. Off point to a couple of plays early in the game. Zach Ertz drops a third second down pass would have given Eagles a first down. Then the Eagles miss on third down, Brandon

Graham jumps off sides, drive stays alive. Later on Mark Sanchez has a wide open Brent selling down, the team overthrows him, overthrows ERDs. Later, the coaches will tell you that there are pleased to be made. That it comes down instead of unpredictability of plays, it comes down to execution. Yeah, that's my take. Okay, here you go, number two. As much as anything, a lack of discipline killed this team on Sunday, and it has been hurting it all along.

You mentioned Brandon Graham jumping offsides on a third down when they had the opportunity to stop the drive, instead kept it alive for one of those five touchdown passes. Kiko Alonso was on the field once but the Eagles had twelve men on the field. He took the blame for that. How do you have a twelve men on the field penalty this far into a season. They've got to get the discipline. They've got to stop those foolish mistakes. I mean, there's no argument there number three or three.

The Eagles don't really have an edge pass rusher. You and I have discussed that before. They're not able to get pressure that way. They've got to find a way to get pressure on the quarterback. Blitz more, or if you think the blitzing enough, try to blitz in some different formations. Try to make maybe I didn't see secondary blitzes,

safety blitzes, cornerback blitzes. That kind of creativity has to come back into the defense because if you're not getting pressure on the quarterback with your front three or your front five, you gotta add to it. You got to find a way to do it. Yeah, I'll argue that Walter Thurman did have a good blindside blitz of Jameis Winston and knocked the ball out created a fumble. That was the one of the sacks the Eagles had. And

he's tried a lot. Bill Davis would truly tried to mix up the blitz pattern, try to mix up the looks. But there are leaks with the Eagles defense. As we've seen early in the season, they stopped the run, excellent against the run. Of late, the run defense has been poor. And as we've seen with the Eagles offense, when you can run the football, that set up everything else. And that's what's happening to this Eagles defense. Now here you go,

number four, let's look at the offense. It is very frustrating to hear the coach say that playing time is dictated by what the other team's defense is doing. I want playing time to be dictated by what your guys can do, case in point this week. And I'm not going to tell you, I'm not going to make this Josh off as a pro bowler or anything beyond what he is, which is he's one of your wide receivers. But he had a very good touchdown reception was about

thirty eight yards early in the game. He only played fourteen plays after that. Chip Kelly said afterward it was because of the defenses that Tampa Bay was showing. I'd rather you dictate it not then, and Josh Chuff has scored touchdowns and back to back games, and I can't disagree with you there. I think that the Eagles need to get the football to their weapons, and that would include Josh Huff more than Miles Austen at this point Riley Cooper at this point. Huff has been productive as

an example. Okay, all right, Number five, Sam Bradford, you can't get back quick enough. Is he gonna play on Thanksgiving? We don't know. Unlikely, you still really need him back. I think both four this year and also to determine what you got going down the road. We yet don't know if Sam Bradford is the quarterback of the future, but I do think we know that it's not Mark Sanchez. Sam Bradford. Heal fast, my man. You know it's It's one of the in fact, maybe the largest question about

this football team coming into the season. Who is your franchise quarterback? And here we are ten games into the season, and I don't know if you know, if I know, if Tip Kelly knows, if anybody knows. Moving forward now, obviously the focus is on beating Detroit on Thursday, getting back into the race in the NFC East, getting some momentum but in a big picture, who's your quarterback next year? Who's your quarterback year? Who's your franchise quarterback? I don't

think anybody has an answer. Well, there you go. Had you on four out of five today? Right? Got bad? All right? All right? Okay, Fantasy football coming a little bit later on NFC East is next. The NFC East remains jumbled, crowded, and very much there for the taking's dremely mediocre. Say for what it is for the Philadelphi because it is extremely mediocre. But the regular season almost doesn't matter. You got a win to get in Thursday, a must win four the Eagles. We take a look

at the rest of the division when we return. What if this year? We went around the table and instead of saying what we're thankful for, we said who we're thankful for.

Courtesy of Bob's Discount Furniture. We welcome you back Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero Eagles Insider along with Glenn mcnow. Time now to take a look at the NFC East presented by Bob's Discount Furniture,

and this week I believe this. I believe there'll be some separation in the NFC East this week. Let's talk about the division. We know the Giants lead the way one game ahead of Washington and Philadelphia, with Dallas lurking after Tony Romo's return and victory, and the Giants play Washington this week at Washington. The Redskins are good at home, but I can't imagine that the Redskins are going to beat the Giants because the Giants are just a better team.

I think if you want to talk about separation, that's where you begin to see a Giant's healthier off the bye. Prince Amakamura supposed to be back, Jason Pierre Paul. Actually they look pretty effective in the last game, so I think the Giants are certainly look better on defense and that will help them beat Washington. And the Washington Redskins are just an unusual team, and five away from FedEx Field, we've seen Kirk Cousins have some big games, as you know,

at home. I think Washington in this game, and I know that the Giants are fresh coming off the bye week after that tough loss to the Patriots. I think I think this is the last stand for the Washington Redskins. They play well in this game, they stay alive in the nfcast. If they don't, they're two games back with five to play. I think it's tough, so I expect Washington to play very well. Oh there goes your separation.

Then well, here's where the separation comes. Okay, Dallas Cowboys, is it time to finally do the play on Thanksgiving? Carolina Panthers come to town undefeated. A loss here gives Cowboys day losses. I say it's time. That's yeah, And Carolina hasn't lost a game all year. I keep thinking their due the way I keep thinking the Patriots are due. And the Cowboys are traditionally good at home on thanks Giving. Not so much last year. Um, but yeah, Carolina is

the better team. I know Dalla's got that huge infusion of optimism, and their offense was much better with Romo last week. But the Cowboys are hurting all over the place. And what people don't pay enough attention to is how bad the Cowboys defense is. So yeah, Carolina is gonna win. Cowboys are gonna fight hard their last day, but Carolina will beat them. And then the Eagles win on Thanksgiving against Detroit, and so there's a little separation the Eagles

and and and Giants at the top. Everybody else kind of falls to the bottom. This is this is my vision if you had this winning, you got a three way tie. Forget the separation. There's absolutely no separation. We cut off the head the Cowboys. The body of the Cowboys falls upon any other three fight out separation. There you go. Just so this kind of that kind of season, Glenn, Why not? Yeah, I'll tell you it all right when we return. We're talking fantasy football here on Eagles three sixty.

We are here again on Wednesday at five pm, and then we've got to cover the entire day on Thursday, Eagles at Detroit Thanksgiving game kicks off three games in

the NFL. It should be fun times, happy Thanksgiving by you and everybody out there, exactly scan a little fantasy football update for you. Alex Smith and Joe Dolan our Fantasy Spin. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith, and welcome to the latest edition of Fantasy Spin, presented by bud Light. I'm joined as i am every week by Joe Dolan,

the managing editor of Fantasy Guru dot com. Joe, let's talk about the Eagles to open up the segment here, and the offense has struggled a little bit over the past few games, but Brent Sellick has been a bit of a bright spot for the Eagles. Yeah, Mark Sanchez has been looking for him. Sam Bradford was looking for him before he went down early in the Miami game.

And if zach Ertz cannot play this week against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, I think Brent Sellick has a chance to really come through as a deep deep league sleeper for you. The Detroit Lions have given up quite a bit of production to tight ends this season, including two touchdowns so the Green Bay Packers in Week ten, one of them by the immortal Justin Perillo. So Brent Sellick is a guy who's emerged a little bit recently, and if you need a tight end this week, I

think he's somebody you can consider. Joe. Last week we talked about guys who had pretty favorable playoff schedules. Let's flip that coin this week, guys who have some tough sledding in the playoff fantasy schedule. Here's a couple for you, the Atlanta passing game, Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Now, Matt Ryan hasn't been a great fantasy option this year anyway, He really hasn't had a great season. But Julio Jones

is the big one. And I've actually gotten questions from people who have Julio Jones and they're saying, you know what, he's been carrying my fantasy team. But I'm really concerned. He gets the Panthers in weeks fourteen end to sixteen, and that means a matchup with Josh Norman, who was arguably the best corner in football right now. So that's somebody who I'm a little bit concerned about heading forward, especially because Ryan hasn't played great in the backfield. There's

two guys I'm worried about. Number one, La Garrett Blunt of the New England Patriots. Now we saw on Monday Night against the Bills how Blunt can be a victim of just game flow, game plan, whatever you want to call it from the Patriots and not have a big fantasy day. But keep this in mind Week sixteen, which is the fantasy championship week for most leagues, he takes on the Jets. In four career games against the Jets, Blunt has thirteen carries for twelve yards. So certainly not

by the way, that's not an average. That is total in four career games with the Jets, including a really bad game earlier this year when he had negative yards rushing. So keep that in mind if you've been rolling with La Garrett Blunt. And another guy who we're going to talk about coming up when we mentioned some waiver wire guys,

Buck Allen, the running back of the Baltimore Ravens. He's going to be the starter going forward, but keep in mind playing with a second team offense and his week's fourteen through sixteen playoffs schedule the Seattle Seahawks, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Pittsburgh Steelers not exactly a rosy schedule for Buck Allen Joe. As you mentioned, working the waiver wire can be absolutely crucial at this point in the fantasy season. With that in mind, who are some

guys that you have your eyes on? Well, Number one, let me just throw out at general tip. I've been mentioning this on my Serious XM radio program for a couple of weeks. Now. At this point, if you've got guys in, especially running backs who are carrying your team, and you don't have their handcuff, drop the last guy or two on your bench to pick up the handcuff. Unfortunately, some of the top running backs have gone down already and you might have missed your window to do that.

So that brings us to the guys who are good pickups this week. Tevin Coleman, you have to keep that in mind. With DeVante Freeman suffering a concussion. Concussions are very fickle. They're not minor injuries. It can take quite some time to get over those and Thomas Rawls, the

running back of the Seattle Seahawks. Look, this guy should be already owned in every league, but in the event that he is not, he's probably my priority waiver pickup because it looks like Marshawn Lynch may have a sports hernia that could be serious enough to keep him out for the rest of the regular season. Great stuff, as always from Joe Dolan, the managing editor of Fantasyguru dot Com.

Be sure to follow Joe on Twitter at fg Underscore Dolan and listen to him on Serious XM Fantasy Sports Radio. That will wrap things up for this week's edition of Fantasy Spin, presented by bud Light. Thanks so much, Alex, Thanks so much, Joe. We've got one more segment to go, and I'm gonna ask Glenn the burning question.

What are you doing to get this team back on track?

And I know chip Kelly said he's not going to rant and Ravens scream, and I understand that message can get lost, but I think Chip Kelly's message is a little bit tougher. This is not to that's not tolerated. Maybe a guy sits down, maybe a guy might have been released. I think Chip Kelly has to say, gentlemen, this is it. This is the last stand. You gotta win and take out the boots and stomp around, even
