Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: Hey, what's happening everybody. Welcome into this edition of The
- 0:12Speaker 1: check Odaily. It's Andrew de Checo. Gonna be a little
- 0:15Speaker 1: bit of a shorter podcast today, but I want to
- 0:18Speaker 1: go over the news and notes from Friday, and every
- 0:22Speaker 1: player on the Eagles fifty three man roster was present
- 0:26Speaker 1: and accounted for well, except for linebacker Johadde Campbell who.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Was excused for personal reasons.
- 0:31Speaker 1: But tight end Grant Kalkatra, who had the illness and
- 0:33Speaker 1: miss Thursday's practice, was out there and everyone else is
- 0:38Speaker 1: gonna be good to go in all likelihood for.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Sunday against the Broncos. And so at this point in
- 0:48Speaker 2: at this stage of the season week.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Five, to have everyone be able to be full go,
- 0:54Speaker 1: Grant Calcatira, Jayalen Carter with the shoulder, Nakobe Dean with
- 0:58Speaker 1: the knee, tight end Dallas Goddard with the knee, cornerback
- 1:01Speaker 1: of Dori Jackson groin, tackle Lane Johnson's shoulder, all of
- 1:05Speaker 1: them are going to be full go.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Now there's a little bit of a caveat.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Linebacker na Kobe Dean with the knee. He was limited
- 1:16Speaker 1: on Wednesday and Thursday. Remember on Wednesday they opened his
- 1:19Speaker 1: twenty one day practice window, which gives the Eagles twenty
- 1:23Speaker 1: one days to figure.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Out what they're going to do with Nikobe Dean.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Are they going to activate him or in fact shut
- 1:29Speaker 1: him down for the season. Well, on Friday morning, n
- 1:32Speaker 1: Kobe Dean gave us a hint as to what this
- 1:34Speaker 1: week was going to hold, and he posted on his
- 1:36Speaker 1: Instagram story that he won't be activated this week against
- 1:41Speaker 1: the Broncos, but also added control what I control, and
- 1:45Speaker 1: that's what he said on Wednesday when he spoke to
- 1:47Speaker 1: us in the locker room. But this is interesting because
- 1:52Speaker 1: he's not going to be of active this week. Next week,
- 1:55Speaker 1: the Eagles have Thursday Night football against the Giants at
- 1:58Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium. Going to be walkthroughs leading up to that practice,
- 2:03Speaker 1: so it's hard to gauge where Nakobe is in terms
- 2:06Speaker 1: of his recovery process in a walkthrough. And I'm not
- 2:09Speaker 1: so sure that the Eagles will want to put Nacobe
- 2:11Speaker 1: Dean out there for his first game action on that
- 2:14Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium turf. Again, we'll have to wait and see,
- 2:18Speaker 1: but it seems like the most logical for na Kobe
- 2:22Speaker 1: Dean to make his debut would be against the Minnesota
- 2:25Speaker 1: Vikings the following week, and and that's gonna that's cutting
- 2:30Speaker 1: it relatively close to that, to that window.
- 2:32Speaker 2: But you know, if you kind of connect.
- 2:36Speaker 1: The dots here, it's it's you know, walkthroughs are very
- 2:39Speaker 1: difficult to see where he had, where he is in
- 2:42Speaker 1: terms of how his knee is feeling, where he is
- 2:45Speaker 1: in terms of his recovery, and that MetLife Stadium turf,
- 2:49Speaker 1: it's hard for me to look past that and just
- 2:52Speaker 1: cast that aside. I mean that is you just saw
- 2:55Speaker 1: what unfortunately happened to wide receiver Moliku Neighbors last week
- 2:58Speaker 1: and Sydney Brown even at the finale of the twenty
- 3:02Speaker 1: twenty three season. So it's a difficult playing surface. And
- 3:07Speaker 1: for someone like Nikobe, who is extremely valuable and I
- 3:10Speaker 1: think he's gonna be able to help this team, I'm
- 3:12Speaker 1: not sure that it would be it would serve the
- 3:15Speaker 1: Eagles well to put him out there.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Under those circumstances.
- 3:20Speaker 1: But it was great to see Nakobe out there as
- 3:22Speaker 1: a limited participant for two days. He's moving well, he's optimistic,
- 3:27Speaker 1: he's positive, one of the most positive.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Players I've been around, and always a pleasure to speak
- 3:33Speaker 2: to him.
- 3:35Speaker 1: So he's in a good place, but now it just
- 3:37Speaker 1: becomes when are they going to activate him?
- 3:41Speaker 2: So we'll see. We'll have to wait and see.
- 3:45Speaker 1: But the Eagles also made some more practice squad moves,
- 3:48Speaker 1: and again this is as I like to term it
- 3:50Speaker 1: as the practice squad churns. They brought back cornerback Eli
- 3:55Speaker 1: Rix and edge rusher Antoine Powell Ryland who they both
- 4:00Speaker 1: who they just released just a day before that, and
- 4:03Speaker 1: signed kJ Henry to the practice squad, and defensive tackle
- 4:08Speaker 1: Jacob Sykes. You know, I got a lot of questions
- 4:12Speaker 1: about this, and I think a lot of it boils
- 4:14Speaker 1: down to you're on the practice squad for a day,
- 4:17Speaker 1: you're on the you're there for a day during the week,
- 4:20Speaker 1: and you're paid for.
- 4:22Speaker 2: The entire week.
- 4:23Speaker 1: So it may just be the Eagles way of being
- 4:26Speaker 1: able to take care of some of their guys and
- 4:30Speaker 1: and give them incentive to stick around and want to
- 4:33Speaker 1: be a part of their practice squad should anything arise,
- 4:37Speaker 1: and maybe more of a of a long term maybe
- 4:41Speaker 1: more of a long term scenario later in the season.
- 4:43Speaker 1: You just never know. But I think that's something that
- 4:45Speaker 1: the Eagles do, perhaps better than any team, is that
- 4:50Speaker 1: they always Everything that they do has a tinge of
- 4:55Speaker 1: emotional intelligence to it and always looking to do right
- 4:59Speaker 1: when ever possible. So Eli Rix is back, Antoine Powell
- 5:04Speaker 1: Ryland is back for this week on the Practice Squad,
- 5:07Speaker 1: and who knows, you may end up seeing Jacob Sykes.
- 5:09Speaker 1: You're likely going to see Jacob Sykes back on the
- 5:12Speaker 1: practice Squad at some point, and the same goes for
- 5:16Speaker 1: kJ Henry at that especially with the Eagles being so
- 5:19Speaker 1: light at edge Rusher.

- 8:54Speaker 1: I also wrote a story on Inside the Birds dot
- 8:55Speaker 1: com where I spoke to the egos new long snapper,
- 9:00Speaker 1: well Adamitas. Great story. Really enjoyed my conversation with him.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Will be the Eagles long snapper for probably the next
- 9:07Speaker 1: couple of months. Based off of what agent Brett Tresler
- 9:11Speaker 1: put out there on X regarding his client Charlie Hewlett,
- 9:15Speaker 1: who was placed on injury reserve earlier this week with
- 9:17Speaker 1: a core injury, he said that surgery was successful and
- 9:22Speaker 1: that he should be back in a couple back to
- 9:24Speaker 1: playing football in a couple of months, but for right
- 9:26Speaker 1: now that's cal Adamitas's job, and I'll be keeping an
- 9:29Speaker 1: eye on that Sunday at one o'clock.
- 9:32Speaker 2: And one of the things that I highlighted in.
- 9:34Speaker 1: That story, I asked Cal about some of the challenges
- 9:38Speaker 1: that joining a new operation with so little time before
- 9:42Speaker 1: the game can present, and he offered a really enlightening
- 9:45Speaker 1: answer to that and said that things have been going
- 9:48Speaker 1: really good right now. He's trying to match the energy
- 9:50Speaker 1: of Jake Elliott and Braden Man and really learn with
- 9:55Speaker 1: how they like things to be done. And that's something
- 9:57Speaker 1: that Charlie Hewlett said as well. He said, I'm just
- 10:00Speaker 1: coming in here and trying to adapt to what they
- 10:02Speaker 1: want to do. And for Cal, he has a really
- 10:05Speaker 1: good perspective on being a specialist in the NFL, knowing
- 10:11Speaker 1: that you have to continuously work your craft and never
- 10:14Speaker 1: get too comfortable. So he's sort of implementing that and
- 10:18Speaker 1: carrying that with him to Philadelphia and his latest stop.
- 10:21Speaker 1: You'll have to read the story to figure out how
- 10:23Speaker 1: he found out that he was going to be signing
- 10:26Speaker 1: with the Eagles. He had a couple of workouts on
- 10:27Speaker 1: the docket and they were canceled. You'll have to read
- 10:30Speaker 1: the story, but that's on inside the Birds dot Com.
- 10:33Speaker 1: I'll have something for you tomorrow when I figure out
- 10:36Speaker 1: who the practice squad elevations are going to be and
- 10:39Speaker 1: how that may ultimately factor into the game plan, and
- 10:42Speaker 1: offer some final thoughts on Eagles Broncos. But for right now,
- 10:45Speaker 1: that's going to do it for this edition of the
- 10:47Speaker 1: Czech O Daily. I am Andrew Decheco, and I will
- 10:49Speaker 1: talk to everybody on Saturday.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Take care,
