The Eagles are undefeated. Many outlets are ranking them as either the best or second-best team in the league. Vibes are incredibly high in Philadelphia right now. Jalen Hurts looks like a star, and the defense is shutting teams down. And So Jeff McLane joined the Anthony Gargano Show to discuss this team, and if they really are this good. Here is some of what Jeff McLane had to say to us…
On How Impressive The Team Has Looked So Far…
They tortured Carson and tortured that Washington defense for a stretch. Pretty much had it going on all cylinders. Not as great in the 2nd half, but I think when you get ahead by so much the game plan changes a little bit, so I wouldn’t be too worried. The only caveat is the strength of those teams. We don’t know quite yet how good those opponents are. I don’t think these are the dregs of the NFL. Those first 3 teams, I don’t know if they are playoff contenders… But the way in which they beat those teams is impressive, especially on the offensive side. Just how they’ve been able to move at will for periods. Talking to guys around the league, they say right now that offense is clicking… Jalen clearly taking a step with his throwing ability, it’s made them that much more dangerous.
On the Eagles Having Two Great WRs…
The Eagles for the first time in a long-time have two number 1 WRs. Desean and Maclin were good, but these two are better. Mike Quick and Chris Carter, but Chris Carter wasn’t quite what he was yet. But int terms of talent, this is probably going to end up being the top 2.
