Shurmur: Bradford did a lot of things to help us win the game on Monday night.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 21, 2015

Shurmur: Sam Bradford is mentally over the injuries. He needs to keep training and keep playing. Way more good plays than bad.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 21, 2015

Shurmur said he was happy with the way Bradford was moving around in the pocket. Did so more than before.

Shurmur: The quick movements, adjustments that happen in an uncontrolled game situation are things a QB become more comfortable with reps

On using two tight ends:

Coach Shurmur: We used two tight end sets a little bit more than we had planned due to receiver injuries against NY, but it worked.

On Nelson Agholor:

Coach Shurmur: I don't know if Nelson Agholor will be out here today or not.

On the Panthers:

Shurmur on Kuechly and Davis: Very instinctive. Diagnose plays well. The highlight of the defense is the linebacking corps
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 21, 2015

On the run game:

Shurmur: When you're able to run the ball, play-action is meaningful. That helped open up some of the deep passes.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 21, 2015

On Riley Cooper:

Coach Shurmur: Riley Cooper's baseball background helps him track down those deep throws.
