Speaker 1

We welcome you to Eagles three sixty on this Wednesday at an Overcare complex in our Exfinity studio on Eagles insider Dave Spadaro along with Joe Di Camera, the Eagles getting ready for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Lots of questions about this football team, Joe, particularly at the quarterback position. We don't know who's going to be the quarterback on Sunday. We know that Mark Sanchez is taking reps. Thaddeus Lewis gets a repper two here.

What is the best case in your mind, the best case scenario for the Eagles against Tampa Bay. Well, you want whoever's going to play to play well. I mean, that's ultimately what it's all about. I think if you're the Eagles and you want Sam Bradford to be the starting quarterback, then you want him to be healthy and ready to go this week. Whether he can be or not, you know, obviously time remains to be seen on that. But look, I think Mark Sanchez can get in there

and operate this offense. You know fairly well, he did it last year. Obviously started all stronger, you know, went more downhills the season went on. I don't think there's really a huge discernible difference Dave at this point between the two quarterbacks. That would just be, you know, my personal opinion. I kind of disagree with that. I think Bradford has really come on in the last few weeks. His mobility is greater, his command of the offense is better.

He seems to be throwing. It's more confidence. The offense has moved the football. The problem with the Eagles offense as I see it, no matter who the quarterback, has been here, not just this year, but in the two previous seasons. And I keep saying it, the red zone offense has been ineffective against Miami. Two of five I've in the red zone, including the Mark Sanchez interception in the end zone, of course, and that's the one that gets the most attention, but the Eagles had two other

opportunities to score. I just think Sanchez is a very good backup player, a good quarterback. But Bradford, to me, after shaking off the rust for most of the first half of I just think the last couple of weeks, he's really come on. Well, he certainly had, but here's the thing. I'll say this about the Dolphins game. I don't feel like Dave he was as strong in that

game as the perception was as the statistics indicate. Having seen the film yesterday with Jaws down in the NFL films, for instance, first play of the game, Brent sellec completely uncovered by the Miami defense, one hundred percent uncovered. So when Bradford hits him, Selleck makes a nice little move, gets down the field on the right sideline, and ultimately Dave goes he I think it was about sixty yards. That's not a huge credit for Sam Bradford. That doesn't

mean Sam Bradford or something credit for the offense. It's a huge credit for the offense. But the guess uncovered so well. I mean it's a good design, sure, I mean we're I'm not like going play by play with Sam Bradford, but nineteen to twenty five is in press. Yeah, And I just think he's blaying a lot better now than he was back in a week one, two, three, four five. I totally agree with that. I think the

upside with Sam Bradford. To me, to answer the original question, to me, the best case scenario is that Sam Bradford gets healthy and is the quarterback on Sunday. Now, I think, no, I think that's fair. I would I would agree with that. Maybe I didn't state that well enough initially. Okay, fair point, they wins, But no, how would you believe I do agree with that because I think Mark Sanchez is what he is. I think we have a good feel for

what he is. He's a very quality backup quarterback. He can be a bottom end starting quarterback in this leg, as he's been before. But I agree with the basic premise that Sam Bradford has a greater ceiling and therefore, ultimately, yes, you want to see him in there and see what that what that ceiling becomes. Yeah, and Mark Sanchez was productive and until the end zone interception, really had the tempo going, had the offense going. And look, anyway, that's

that's the big topic, the quarterback situation. We get some more of that a little bit later on. We'll talk a lot more about this football team heading into an another huge game, But first get to get you caught up in everything having It's not just Sam Bradford and the injury questions. There are plenty of other players who we don't know if they're gonna go on Sunday. Here's your update. Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith and this is

your three sixty update. The Eagles were back at work here at the Novicare Complex as they get set for Sunday afternoons matchup with the Tampa Bay Bucks. The big news today came from head coach Chip Kelly, who said that quarterback Sam Bradford still has not passed the NFL's concussion protocol, so they're still waiting for him to clear

that before he can get back out on the practice field. Meanwhile, we heard from quarterback Mark Sanchez who said it's still up in the air as to who gets to start at quarterback on Sunday. I don't know. I'm waiting for the call from the coach. So Sam and I are both studying hard. Fat's in there and Steve in the same way. So we're all working Harden. We'll all be ready, buddy. We also heard from Sanchez and head coach Chip Kelly on Gerald McCoy and this talented Tampa Bay defense and

the challenges that they present. And I think a lot of in that defense when you have that type of guy, and you know, when the Bucks were in their heyday and they had Warren Sapp. You know, you really need that three technique type of player to be a disruptive force free and that's what he is. You know, we faced him two years ago and have seen him firsthand when we played them down there, and he was as advertised.

He's a very disruptive force in there and certainly someone that we're going to make sure we're aware of where he is. I think they're one of the best we've seen. Those two linebackers inside are tough manys, no slaves. That guy's a heck of a player. I think their secondary I think certainly Moore's playing really well for him, and we faced him in Dallas, you know, so he's got a good comfort level with us. You know, so that's another guy to look out for. Last, but certainly not least.

We caught up with a number of the Eagles defenders who spoke about where this defense is right now and where they need to improve moving forward. If we clean that up and then we want to be a dominant defense, we have to eliminate those little mistakes that we can control, and once we do that, then we'll be a dominant defense. And you know again, we have to keep up in the turnover about it. We didn't get the turnovers that we wanted last week. We have to continue to do that,

but we definitely have to just snuff teams. We get turnovers, get turnovers and I think, I mean, I don't, I don't notice. That's falls rizone efficiencies. But we can't allow touchdowns. It's crush time every week. Man. You know NFCS Well, I told you I have been a part of some crazy endings and you just never know. We just got to make sure we went up. We got seven games

and we just need to win this one. With all of the questions surrounding the quarterback situation, There's sure to be a lot of news coming out of the Novacare Complex before Sunday's game, so be sure to stay tuned to Philadelphia Eagles dot com throughout the week for all of the latest Eagles news. Thanks so much, Alex, We've got a lot to get to Today. Chip Kelly comes into studio. We'll talk about the NFC East. There's still a chance for the Philadelphia Eagles, in fact, a very

good chance for the Eagles. When we return, however, to Eagles three sixty We're gonna talk a little bit with some cover two segments. Here Chris McPherson with a couple of Philadelphia reporters, Josh Parnell, Brandie Gowton, their perspective on this four and five Eagles team. I got tickets, Metro tickets. You need a Metro ticket?

It's Eagles three sixty Dave Spidero, Joe Di camera. Time now for Chris McPherson to take over

the show. He's got covered too. Hello everyone, Chris McPherson, and welcome to this week's edition of Cover two here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. You figured that we would be talking about a big win over the Miami Dolphins before looking ahead to Tampa Bay, but alas that is not the case. To break down the twenty and nineteen loss, I brought it Josh pon Hill from Bury seven and then notorious BLG Brandley Guten from Leaving Green Nation. Josh, I'll let you start things off here. What is the

biggest reason for the Eagles loss? Well, I mean officsive line play that average just two point three yards per carry. Dominicansu just really disrupted the run game pretty much after the first two drives the whole game, three tackles for losses, three quarterback hits. He just was able to do whatever he wanted to against Kelsey against Kelly Tobin. So that

was the big reason. Was his penetration really not giving Murray or Matthews a chance to even get to the last scrimmage on someplace brighton anything other than the offensive line. Your special team is obviously huge concern. I mean, that

was such a st of the team last year. And for them to have a pump blocked second of the season they had one earlier this year, and to miss that chip shot of a field goal that would have put them up nineteen to three at the time, I mean, special teams has just been a real big disappointment for this team. Brandon, As we look ahead to Sunday's game, there's a chance in Mark Sanchez, depending on Sam Bradford stats, will have to start in his absence. So does the

offense change if Sanchez has applied. I don't think it changes in a way that you know, you're not seeing a huge drop off from from Bradford to Sanchez at this point. I think you know Sanchez is what he is. He went pretty much five and four as a starter, kind of at the four and four, but he kind of helped win that Texans game last year, So he's going to go in there. I think he gives the team a chance to win, and I think that's what

you really want out of a backup quarterback. Josh, what does Sanchards bring to the table if he has to start. I mean, he's one of the best pack of quarterbacks in the league. And what he brings is just the experience of last year. I think you really saw that the Dolphins game because once he came in, Chip didn't really change the play calls are attacking downfield. They were able to do the same things. They able to take shots.

They weren't always completed, whether it was a drop or it was just an overthrow, but they were able to do the same things. And he doesn't have to be great to win this game against the Buccaneers. He just has to be solid and he's more than capable of doing that. All right, gentlemen, the Eagles set at four and five. They've not been able to get over that

five hundred hump the entire season. Josh, what is the biggest reason for that or what would you say is been the biggest disappointment to this point in this season looking at this team overall, well, I think consistency, not necessarily just the offensive line, but you know Caleb Sturgis in the kicking game and key moments, and it's just whenever the Eagles need not necessarily a big play but just kind of a solid play, they'll turn the ball over.

They'll make a crucial mistake that will either give up the lead or take away the chance to take the lead. I mean the Sanchez interception, the stur just missfield goal, the blocked punt. They just do a lot of things, and you know these are units that normally are pretty good, but in some key moment, but they're just not consistent and they make crucial mistakes. Blg most disappointing aspect in

your estimation. One of the most disappointing things I think this season has been the decline or the unexpected disappointing performances from players you think you would usually be able to count on. I mean, you look at Jason Kelsey, a guy who's only twenty seven pro bowler last year, and all of a sudden, you know he's struggling this year. And that's something you really couldn't really address going into the season. You weren't finishing last year and saying, hey,

we need to fix the center spot. So when you have areas like that where you're supposed to have players you can count on and they're not living up to that, it's really hard. Even you look at John Dornbos, who who's been struggling with some of his long snaps. I mean guys like that who usually rely on to be good players, and that the fact that they can't, you can't rely on them like that, I think that's been a big disappointment.

dot com. All right, Joe, a couple of games here in quick order. Give me some wins and losses. Eagles Tampa Bay Oh Man, Well, we predict these things in April, and the schedule comes out wrong or probably wrong if we do it right now. But here's the deal. Winnable games home versus Tampa at Detroit, losable games at New England. Chalk it up, el Beyond that, they're all winnable, they're all losable. The key is the Eagles gotta get to eight, and they gotta beat the New York Giants the final

week of the season. That's really what I mean. I'm telling you, Dave, we can talk about Nate. I think nine to seven. Here's what I'm gonna say. In less the Redskins go eight and eight, which they may, I'm gonna give you two categories. Category one, Washington does not get to eight and eight. If the Washington Redskins don't get to eight and eate the Philadelphia Eagles need to do two things to win the division. They need to get to eight and eight and they need to beat

the Giants week seventeen. That will win the Eagles the division under that umbrella left formula. Go ahead, I'm gonna have the the green view here. I believe the Eagles will steal one of these games. Okay. Now, New England will be a very crazy, tough game to win. We all know that. I think Buffalo winnable here, Arizona, that's the game that I'm sorry Now I'm going on with

the premise here, of course, that the Eagles beat Tampa Bay. Eagles, take care of business in Detroit, have a nice little ten day rest, go out to New England a little beat up after their game. They don't have Jordan Edelman. Give New England a good game. Hey, is it crazy for me to think the Eagles can beat the Patriots? Yes, okay, that's where we Let's take a look at the NFC East Giants, leading the division at five and five. They have a bye week on Sunday this weekend. They are

playing good football. Tough loss to the Patriots last week, and I think that that offense, the way that ELI is running that offense, probably gives the Giants maybe the edge over the rest of the division. But I think that and the fact that they have that Week seventeen game at homes the big thing. I mean, they had you know, that's ultimately huge. Eagles went into Dallas two years ago and won that game. But let's you remember

Tony Romo was out Week seventeen. Typically that week's seventeen matchup, you have it at home. That's big. Now, the Giants have played better football than the Eagles this season, but not by much. Giants have had some very tough losses. Eagles have had some very bad losses. If you understand, you know, sort of the distinction. I mean, obviously, what the Giants did versus in New England the other day was impressive, and in the day they lost their five

and five Eagles win their game. It's a tie now, all as you know, the Giants have lost Victor Cruz for the season. They bring Hakeem next back. I think Eli Manning Davis the quarterback. If you had to choose one from the division you'd want for the rest of the season, I think Eli's that guy. But they do still lack a pass rash and a good defensive backfield, and there are issues there. They come back from the buy at Washington then they play the Jets and then

at Miami. So it's not an easy road for any of these teams, certainly not for the New York Giants. Washington a big win over New Orleans over the weekend. They this weekend go down to Carolina. That is a very tough game for Washington, and then they've got the Giants at Chicago home with Buffalo again, a tough road for them. It is the thing that scares me is I just think at some point Carolina loses. I mean, I just think they have to. At some point Carolina

fandoms is gonna lose a football game. I don't think Washington is a very good team. I say that every week they're still in the mix. I think it defines in many ways why you know there's mediocrity in this division and how just with this NFL format, Remember used to have six divisions. Now you have eight divisions. That means you have four teams in a division instead of five. It means you have a chance for eight and eight

and seven to nine teams to make the playoffs. We've seen that over the last couple of years in a couple of different instances. We're seeing that again this year day. We're seeing that with the NFC East. We're seeing that with the AFC South. I don't think the Washington Redskins or any great team by any stretch, but they're in the mix in a mediocre division. By the way, they ran the ball a lot better the other day. Their offensive line played a really good game, and Kirk Cousins

has played some better football of late. So you know, the offensive player of the week for his performance against the same can't discount them. I have discounted them many times over. Yeah, and I guess I gotta stop saying yeah. I think they're better than we give them credit for. They've They've played hard football all season long. How about the Dallas Cowboys getting Tony Romo back a two and

seven football team. This is a moment where the Cowboys think that they can run the table starting this weekend in Miami. It will be difficult to do. Tony Romo Still's got to rush to shake off. The defense has been pretty good, not great. The question is how many games can the Cowboys make up with the Romo back in the lineup. Look, they're not done yet, but they're darn well close to it. They really are Dave. I mean,

first off, they're a mess. All the Greg Hardy stuff, you know, with the practice at the meeting and showing up late, everything to do with that. It's just a bad situation in Dallas. And from a probability standpoint from two and seven coming back, you know, as Romo re emerges here, I just don't say it, Dame. I mean, I just I think that. I think the percentage chances are so enormous at Green Bay Carolina. Here's what they

would need in all seriocens. They would need the teams in the NFC East to lose these, like the Eagles games. They would need the Eagles solution Buffalo, they need the Eagle solute Arizona. And they need the Eagles and the Giants and the Redskins to lose the games out of the division so that that division comes all the way down to seven and nine at the end, which by the way, is possible if it comes down to seven and nine. To do the math, what does that mean?

They got to go. Let me tell you them, Heges are gonna going to run here, Eagles are gonna going to run here. By this time, in a couple of weeks, we're gonna be talking about a six and five football team above five hundred and surging into New England. So that's our look at the NFC East. When we return, we'll get back to reality. Chip Kelly and Studio talking about Tampa Bay. Another huge game, poor the Eagles at

Welcome to our exclusive one on one with head coach Chip Kelly, presented by Wah Wah Tampa Bay comes to town on Sunday. Coach led by the quarterback Jameis Winston. What have you seen from him this year? He's seen

a lot of improvements since the season started. I think he's been the development you can see a game by game. He continues to see new coverages, new fronts. When and once he sees him, he gets acclimated to him and continues to play better. But I think from game one to now, I think you've seen a great improvement from He's a talented player and you gotta be aware of him because not only can he throw the ball. He can also beat a um running the ball. I think

there's some toughness to him. He's been hit around and banged up a little bit through a key block in overtime against the Falcons. You know, he's a he's he's a really really good football player, and the team seems like it's responded to a young leader down there. They play hard. They had a big win on Sunday against Dallas. They do. I think love He's doing a really good job with that team. He's a heck of a football coach.

They're they're really They've got some good playmakers on defense that are that are making plays from m McCoy and uh Levante David and their new inside linebacker Kwan Alexander's making some places for him. Uh. They're really dedicated to

running the football. On the offensive side, they they're they they'll use multiple tight informations, they'll play with a fullback um and then they're starting to throw some shots down the field with Jamis and then Evans at wide receivers playing really little for yeah, Mike Evans, that big body, the big catch radius. What kind of challenges that for defenses?

You know, I think it's a different you know, he's in the Dez Bryant category in terms of the size for a receiver, much like Dez or Julio Jones in terms of getting matched up with those guys. Has such a big catch radius and then when it's a contested one on one ball, it's it's a tough matchup because he is so big and is so physical. He talked about their defense, but is it one that is built on size strength or is it more of a speed

kind of thing. It's built on speed. You know. Levey is a Tampa two disciple, you know, coach that defense under coach Dungee when it, you know, really kind of started to catch in this league. It's a lot like Dallas's defense with Rod Marinelli. Very athletic and fast on the defensive line. One gap penetrators, speed at the linebacker spots, guys that can run sideline to sideline. You know, Lavante David is an All Pro linebacker. The young rookie Kwan

Alexander playing the mic linebacker is another speed guy. So, um, there's a lot of speed on the defensive front and you're going to get a lot of movement. It's interesting how you create matchups and on Sunday against Miami. It was zach Ertz and Brent Seller involved a lot in the passing game. You ask the tight ends to do

a lot. Can you talk about all their responsive Well, it's said, you know, really the most diverse position on the team because they're asked to block like an offensive linement, but then run routes and catch like a wide receiver, so that you know that they have a skill set in terms of being a receivers and being out and routes all the time, but they also have the mentality of an offensive linement for what we do with those

guys in the running games. So it takes real versatile players to do it, and we're real fortunate to have two really good ones in Sellic and Arts. It takes really tough guys to do it too. Brent has been here for a long time. He caught a lot of passes early in his career. He's been asked to do a lot of blocking. How has he stayed at the top of his game. He's been great. He's just really a selfless leader in terms of whatever we ask him to do for the good of the team and what

it will help us to win football games. He could care less. If he has zero catches and blocks well in the run game, then he's happy. He's all about just winning and really the ultimate teammate. And it seems like Zach is that way too, particularly blocking. And I wonder when you drafted Zach the kids who come out of college so they get a lot of time to

hone their blocking skills. Well, I think Zach did you know he came from a really good football program at Stanford that's known for their tight ends, playing multiple tight ends and running the football. So you know what David Shad does when with that whole team at Stanford, it really prepares especially at the tight ends to play in the National Football League. Ship. You got a lot from Nelson Agelore back from the injury on Sunday. Where is

he in his developments? Um, he's coming along. He obviously missed a couple of games with the ankle sprain. Um you know really had worked very hard at his rehab in terms of being able to get back. It was great to get him back out in the field, give us another weapon out wide. Um contributed, But we expect even more of him out of this week because I think he'll be just a little bit more healthy than he was last week. The NFL is a long season, highs and lows. How does the team respond after? What

have you seen from the team? They were great, We had a great day at training today. They know, you know, every week is its own unfolds in its own individual way. It's it's really its own season, so to speak. And uh, you know, they came back today there you know, they understand what happened and one point loss to Miami, but the you know, the big things. You can't let Miami

beat him twice. They came back out today and their sole focus is on Tampa Bay and they're to a man, they still the goal is still there for this football team. The goals that you set out at the beginning of the season, well, our goals very simple, is to win every game each week. And that's all we're really concerned with them. We have only one game this week to prepare for. That's Tampa Bay, and that's what those guys are doing. Thank you very much, coach. Good look against

You know, one of the injuries that has been talked about a lot previously to this week, but not discussed as much is Jason Peters, who looked like he would try try to give a go on Sunday against Miami, did not not practicing on Wednesday. You hope he's back on the field on Thursday and in the lineup on Sunday without

Jason Peters. Joe, this offensive line a really good game in Dallas and a really not so good game against Miami. Yeah, it's kind of a strange one. It's a little bit of a conundrum day because I think in many ways it defied logic that the Eagles played their best offensive line football this season in some of the games Jason

Peters miss. Now it's no knock against Jason Peters. I think the group came together and you go back to three or four games ago, they really had progressed in it was really to their credit, and I think Chip was doing things schematically that we're helping them out and getting the quarterback out of the pocket more and all that sort of stuff. But they really had played better football. Last week they took a big step back. Now, I will say there's there are moments when you've got a

credit the opposition, and Dave, this is one. And this isn't to let the Eagles off the Hulk. We'll get to it in a moment. But in dom Nickinsue played an absolute all world game on Sunday, all right. I mean, look, the guy's a potential Hall of Famer. You know, he's got a shot. He played a Hall of Fame type game and he was an incredibly disruptive force. So you got to understand the context of that as far as the opponent. With that said, the offensive line did struggle,

and there it was more than just Sue. And there were plays including you know, the final play of the game were essentially Sam Bradford and no time and you'll throw it short to Jordan mad You no time. That's not Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez. That's not Sanchez's fault. It's not Jordan matthews fault. There was no time it was because you know, a lineman got beat. So I think to address what you're talking about, Dave, getting Peter's back,

We've always known all along. Getting Peter's back is the objective clearly, and putting him in there and having the rest of the line filter out and obviously having then that new group play together is clearly what gives the Eagles the best chance to Yeah, so we will find out as the week goes along about Jason Peters and Connor Barrowin as well on the defensive side. A lot of injury questions with the Eagles and every team in

the NFL. Amrosso's on the menu segment What's ahead for us on Eagles three sixty on Thursday, Glenn mcnow in studio with me. We get his bold predictions, as outlandish and completely wrong as they may be, it's a lot of fun. We go behind enemy lines and talk to Jenna Lane from Sports Talk Florida. Merrill Reese also joins us in studio. I'm sure it was a tough week for Merrill after that very difficult loss against the Miami Dolphins and a lot lot more to get too. Yeah,

and there look, there's a lot up ahead. There's still a great opportunity for the Eagles. As we know, it's a mediocre division. It's in the Eagles hands.

That's this is mathematically not a must win game, but it is a really have to have game. It is, and I think in a lot of ways that it's also about because if you lose back to back to Miami and Tampa Bay, who look, they're they're not going to finish two and fourteen, they're

not going to finish five and eleven. But they're not quality football teams at some point. In order to have a viable shot to do something, you have to be able to take care of the teams that just aren't really that good, and that is one of them. Coming into town on Sunday to Tampa Bay Buckers, a young, developing team playing with a lot of confidence. We'll see how the Eagles fair. We thank you for joining us here on Eagles three sixty today. For Jody Camera, I'm
