The Eagles getting ready for the Raiders.

Today's footballed for Adam Kaplan's in the house.

What are the keys to an Eagles victory?

We got people texting in.

I asked the simple question, are you concerned that the Eagles can actually lose to the Raiders

and the text messages are very interesting right now, Adam Kaplan?

The people are not confident with the football team in Philadelphia. They're playing a bad Raiders team. Let's take a look at some of the keys to an Eagle win. They need it. They've got to get it. No matter how they get it, they've got to find a way, Adam. What's going on? Look, look, we get started offence as always. So let's get the running game off to a good start. They actually, Mike, one of the interesting thing is, you know, when they could not run inside earlier in the season, they still can't, by the way, they're just ironic. The Raiders and the Eagles are graded as the two worst inside running teams of national football. But when they got off to a bad start running it inside, we're like, why don't you run it outside? Remember, they wouldn't run it outside? We came on football. We kept telling you we don't know why. Well, they ran it very well in the first half outside. After a slow start, off tackle now. Here's the problem. Fred Johnson, he was added to the injury report after Thursday's practice.

Let me explain it what that means is.

When a player's added, either he didn't feel right prior to practice,

where he got hurt in practice.

Fred Johnson, Mike, is their backup swing tackle. Now, he could play right or left tackle. Obviously, he's filling in for three games here. So we've got to see what happens today. We'll get the introvert probably within minutes. We'll see if we get it. Typically, Mike, you and I, we usually get it during the segment. But if not, it would be Matt Pryor that they're running out of chances. Cameron Williams, by the way, the rookie offensive tackle, I'd be stunned if he plays the season. They just, they're designated for return. They just want to see him practice for the end of the season. It would have to take something extraordinary for him to be activated within the 21 days.

He's a raw, talented, but needs a full off season of work.

To the running out of Lyman here, Mike, and Brett Toh could always play right tackle.

Lennon Dickerson, Lennon Dickerton was training better.

I know he didn't practice history, but that was on purposes, I'm told, because of the short week.

But if he's not, if you're not practicing today, that would be a different story. That would be a problem. Again, they just, Mike, what they've not done yet in the last couple of years has developed these young linemen. Kendall's not, has not been ready yet. I mean, you never know. They're running out of alignment, so he may have to be forced into action, but the miss on Trevor Keegan, Mike, had hurt this football team. They thought he'd be that developmental guard. He could be here for three or four years, but they caught him. He's elsewhere now. Yeah, and we did check in on practice. Lord Dickerson was out there, so it looks like he will play.

Lane Johnson not going to play. Fred Johnson did say at his locker that he will play. So it looks like that is good stuff there. They got to get this running game going. You said there's some signs last week. It was really just, you know, they had that 52-yard run, a couple of other good ones. but, you know, is there a way that they can really build off of what we saw on, what was that, Monday night? Yeah. So, in addition to what I said a couple minutes ago about getting off the running game to a good start, as I told you, I'd like to see Tank Bixby. We say this every week. You get 202 touches, and that's it. a change up means your change up is someone told you. I like to see Tank Bixby. We say this every week. You get 22 touches and that's it. A change up means you're, a change up is someone who's a running back in this case who's different than the starter, stylistically. Bigsby tries to break everything outside, Mike. He does not an inside runner's a, he sees it outside. He usually is is right about breaking outside they need to do that

other things before we moved on to defense be smart about the passing game uh i'm not worried

about the conditions in terms of snow or rain whatever it's going to happen before the game

it's never about what happens before the game with with rain or snow it's what happens in the game because teams i've talked to team forever they don't care about what happens before the game with rain or snow it's what happens in the game

because teams I've talked to team forever they don't care about what happens before

the game what happens during the game though Mike is a condition is concerning
