Eagles Should Have Been Self Scouting These Concepts During Mini Bye Week · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Inside the Birds is back. What's going on everybody? Jeff Moser,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Adam Kaplan here for an Inside the Birds. And it's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: been a little bit since we've talked, probably since you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: heard us on the Inside the Birds postgame show. But wow,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the Eagles were at one point four and oh now
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: four and two, coming off two losses in a span
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of four days, the Denver Broncos and then Adam the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: New York Giants. We've had a couple of days here
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to kind of process everything. It feels like it's been
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a long time, probably since twenty twenty three, where the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Eagles had a loss against the team that not only
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't have lost to based on just how good
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: your roster is in comparison, but by a deficit that big.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's funny if you look at social media
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and all sorts of TV networks and they're running all
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the scatter bow big runs in the game, knocking over
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the Eagles defense, acting like the Eagles are like the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: second division team. It's actually kind of funny how badly
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the people are killing the Eagles nationally. Oh they're not
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: color fraud's but saying, okay, they're not as good as
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we thought they were. The fact they're not very good
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and all this it's kind of it's I was surprised, like, man,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: people are really killing the Eagles. Okay, you're right. Look
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: in terms of yeah, the Eagles got taken the woodshet
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: they played poorly. This is sort of a manifestation of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: what's happened lately with his team not playing well on
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: either side of the football. I mean, when you talk
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: about the best part of the team now is the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: kicker and the punter. That's not very good. You shouldn't
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: be saying that, but it is truth right now.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: No, you're right, and I think what happens is people
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: take their shots when they can. You know, the Eagles
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: are really vulnerable right now. Obviously you lose to the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Giants by seventeen points and you're the Eagles and everybody
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: expects that. And you can now see there are dents
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in the armor. They look more human. To be fair
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and objective, they don't look like the best team in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the NFC at the moment. You know, we'll talk about
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: some of that as the week goes on, because there
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: are games left, but yeah, they don't look like the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: best team in the NFC, and that's sort of shocking
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: because they started off four and oh and even though
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that there were deficiencies that were glaring, they were still
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: winning the way championship teams do, which is finding a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: way in the fourth quarter to pull it out either way.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But now these two wins are humbling. And what we're
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: gonna do in this podcast is we're gonna go through
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the injury situation. We're gonna go through the self scouting
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that the Eagles should have been doing and they have
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: been doing over the weekend, and then we'll get into
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit of the Vikings injury situation. Like the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: early word on the Vikings as that is the next
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: opponent for the Eagles on Sunday in Minnesota. I just
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: want to bring everybody's attention and we'll probably talk about
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it a little bit in this podcast too, because it's relevant.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But Sam Finkel on Inside the Data had an amazing
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Inside the Data that came out Sunday morning. What he
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: did was we waited for both games to be over,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and he sort of compared both losses analytically and then
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: individually and how they compared to the rest of the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Eagles season. And there were a couple of things that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you can't find in the box score or that aren't obvious.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: We talk about not getting the run game going with
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Sakwon Barkley, that's obvious, the past game being sporadic, that's obvious, right.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But there were a couple of stats we'll talk about
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: through here because this is what the Eagles really need
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to be self scouting that really jumped out, and I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just think Sam did an amazing job. And just to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: give you a little surface. One is field position, which
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you know has been awful for the Eagles, starting field position,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: average starting posi position. And the other one is third downs.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It's not necessarily their percentage converted, but just how often
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they're in third down compared to every other down. The
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Eagles are not ahead of the sticks as nearly as
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: much as I should be. And when you hear the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: actual data and analytics of it through Sam's reports in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: his charts, it's staggering at him.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, man, I can't wait to hear this. Yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that's it's interesting because well, we have a little mini
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: buy self scout for the Eagles, and Sirianni talked about
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in his press conference after the game. You put it
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: out there. He said, they're going to treat it like
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a normal bye week that they're gonna that they're gonna
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: self scout. And what happens in self scout is you
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: look at every tendency you have and let's say there's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a certain thing you do your tendency on third down,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: if you're going to run it, you do it a
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: certain way, Well you're going to change it. If it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a heavy tens, you have to change it. Yep. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you know the predictability. Lane Johnson went on record off
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the game talking about that without he didn't really go
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: into detail. He said a couple of things, but it
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: wasn't really what I call revealing. But the bottom line
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: is there are some predictability factors with his offense, the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: runs of the middle or just I mean, there's it's
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: obvious something that's going on with the health of this
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: offensive line. We all know it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: This is like beyond bizarre.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: They won't run the ball on the outside. I've never
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: seen this before. And I don't even know what to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: say because do we as start doing the pregam show
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: with Cosel, do we ask him that? And he said,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: where's it?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: He said, when they have run the ball to the outside.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: They have been successful, they just don't do it very often.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: And in fairness, the Eagles really have been an inside
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: zone duo team for a while. Outside wide zone things
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like that is not their specialty. But I think that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that you bring up a great point when you get
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: used to doing something well and then teams game plan it,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and then you add in the fact that your personnel
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on the offensive line isn't the same as it was,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: either from a health standpoint or just a personnel standpoint.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: We'll get into it in a minute.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You may it may force you to make adjustments, and Adam,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I know everybody wants We talk about this all the time.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: People want adjustments before it's time to adjust. Sometimes you
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: need a loss like the Giants to adjust because when
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you're winning games, or even if you lose one game
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: where you don't do well, coaches don't. Coaches are process oriented.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: There are not results oriented, meaning you can do like
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: almost everything right, lose on a fluky interception that never
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: happens because it bounces off one and you lost the game.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: But the process that you had might have been good
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: better times than it wasn't. That just happens in the NFL.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: But I think this loss to the Giants has to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: show the egos that they need to go and review.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Some of their process which needs to be cleaned up
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a bit. I think that's obvious. Yeah, so that's what
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a self scout is. Well throughout the show, we'll try
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to drop in some nuggets on that. We asked around
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and I got kind of what is typically done during
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: a bye week. But look, it's it's a situation where
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you know, if you before the season started, we had
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: kind of a general idea of where we thought they
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: would be record wise, you never know which game they're
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: gonna lose, but there's no way and how I saw
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: them lose on the Giance's not happening right, and they
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: are so shorthanded. But man, when little Jordan Humphrey is
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a guy that you can't predict, I mean, he's a
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Sean Payton guy. He's he's been a good stuck he
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I gave the guy credit for not you call him
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: it quits. He's an undirected, freaking big dude. And you
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: saw how you shielded off Ringo. That was not good boy.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And we're going to get to our self scout for
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: what they need to do. And Howie not that he
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be on the phone, but he's he's he's got
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to do something. And whether it's significant or not, at
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: corner they had something that's got to be done.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: This is ridiculous, right, So as we get into it,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Adam I wrote on Philly Voice on Saturday a story
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: diagnosing the Eagles issues at on Philly Voice dot com.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You go check it out. Getting great feedback, by the way,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and thank everybody who's read and said that they appreciate
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the extra element of our coverage alongside Jimmy Keemski and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I diagnosed it. And I think you can realistically say
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: there are there are many things that they can do
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: differently in their self scouting review to get themselves out
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of the rut. And there are a couple of things
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that are out of their control. And the health is
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the part that's out of their control. And we said
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: on Friday, I think you nailed it. On our pregame show.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You said, look, if Gabe Hall gets elevated, then you
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: know the concern is real about Jalen Carter's heel. And
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you even mentioned past hearing from past folks, how hard
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: heel injuries can be on really big, strong lining right
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: with all that weight, and you nailed it. He did
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: not play. He warmed up, he wasn't ready, so they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: had to play gay ball, and that clearly took a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: little bit away from the Giants. I'm sorry from the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Eagles defensive front. Not enough to make it excusable for
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the effort that they gave, but it's it's a significant loss.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Actually, I don't think he warmed up. He was out
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: there and they I only think he warmed up to
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: bounce that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I oh, the people there were saying he was on
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the field doing some things. I saw a couple of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: reporters tweet that he was talking with Howie and the.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Tree wise, but I don't know how much he really
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: let him do on that turf.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I don't mean to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: paint it like he warmed up with the team in
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: full warmth. Yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I've been on it twice over number years now. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: don't know if they've lifted it up, changed it. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: don't know. I know a lot of stadiums they do
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: this over so many years, but this is disgrace. That's
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: why players want to have grass. You shouldn't have to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: worry about is my player going to make it through
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the game on this right? Wherever we come IM, it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, for gonna sake. I won't curse I bother.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It's pathetic.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Thank god. N Kobe Dean made it, made it in.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that's right. Injury. Yeah, he didn't play on defense.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: He played on specials a lot on specials so that
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: they could use the special team's coverage. But yeah, that
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: that was we'll get into that. But yeah, so game Hall.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: By the way, he's back on the practice squad. He's
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: had one elevation. By the way, he's the only defensive
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: tackle on the practice squad.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know that one guy in the group chat
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: who hit a five leg parlay week one and he
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: wouldn't shut up about it for the rest of the season.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Sounds like Kaplan, right, Yeah, yeah, it could be him.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It could be you, and we would all want to
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: be you. My bookie makes it stupid easy to get

• 11:50
  Speaker 1: as this week. On Wednesday, when they reconvene for practice
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and that's when the first report will come out to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: see if Dylan Carter is able to get back out
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: on the field. Landon Dickerson did not play with the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: left angle injury at this point, Adam, I don't even know.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You know, only he knows and the medical staff knows.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: But he's missed so much time with various injuries here,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: going back to the offseason. There's a part of me
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that thinks he needs to just take some time off
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to heal up totally, you know, get some conditioning in.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Who knows before he comes back out, because there have
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: been times he's hurt the team by not being able
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to execute the way he normally executes.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: And that's the issue with with trying to run outside.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I mean typically even if you're not running your usual
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: outside zone plays. You could still do a toss play.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: They don't not even doing that outside like they're just
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and then I don't have the stuff numbers in front
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: of me. Stuff's a stat where jeez, I remember this
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: is going back I don't know, early two thousands of
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: late nineties. I was actually charting one season for Stats Inc.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: So you know, I'd get the TV copy and I'd
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: start charting. That was part of like the stuff is
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: when you get caught behind the line you're running back. Yep,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: my goodness, graciers, how many times I get a run
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: inside it? It seems so obvious that and we're we're
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: sometimes we call it before the play up here we go.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be an inside run. He's gonna get stuffed.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: There you go. So that's that's the kind of stuff
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: for the self scout that they've got.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: A hey, I got the numbers for you. Urt give
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Sam Finkel again another reason why by the data. So
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: for the season, their run stuff rate is twenty two
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: point two percent, which is high for them, especially all
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: right the Broncos, remember they actually had some decent runs
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and then they just gave up on it. So the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: run stuff rate against the Broncos was only eighteen point
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: two percent, but against the Giants they were stuffed at
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a rate of forty percent.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Folks, that is so bad. Wow, that's like.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: EPA per rush was minus point twenty six.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Look, I've never thought i'd see the day with Stalin's
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: offensive li and we know these guys are beat up.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: We left right. None of them are playing at the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: usual level. Leaguelane still is been playing best out of
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: all of them, but he's not quite where he usually is.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: This is really like hard to believe. I guess we
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: pretty much hit on every pretty much when we were
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: We hit on all of our concerns this season except
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: for the one we met we totally missed on.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I don't see how we would have known the run
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: game would be bad. I just don't know I would
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: have known this so bad.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about Selsea because we're getting
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the running game right has got to be the number
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: one priority. There's a lot of issues, and again the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: offensive line has got to get healthier. But there's no
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: excuse for the team with Satkwon Barkley to not be able.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: With Dallas godd who's a good in line blocker to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: not be able to run the ball better, and you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: started to see it against the Giants with the eighteen
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: yard run than the thirteen yard run. He actually had
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: sixty yards on ten carries in the first half against
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the Giants, which is you'll take that any day. But
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: he actually finished with twelve carries for fifty eight yards,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: so we had minus two in unbelievd. This this is
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: stuff you can't make up, right sick Colon Berkeley used
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to own the second half. In fact, his second half
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: rushing total last year alone was like top five in
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the NFL, just the second half. And now he's minus
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: two on two carries. It's almost inconceivable.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: So we're like, I don't know about you, but when
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I first saw this first two carris and how much
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: space he had, I was like, Okay, here we go.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: This looks beautiful. Over thirty yards on his first two runs,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: he as long as run of the season eighteen yards.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: That's that's better than nothing. I mean, it was a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: little bit of improvement, and then it just completely dissipated.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: It was just a nightmare. Now I know a lot
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: of fans they're putting on our YouTube comments and I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: understand the point, but it's not like Brett Toaf is
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a better option than Lannon Dickerson. Matt Pryor really doesn't
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: play left guard. They tried it late in the preseason,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: late in training. Can't excuse me. He has very little
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: reps there, and Drew Kennell as too small. He's really
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a center who could play guard and he hasn't even
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: been active yet. So they've got and that's yet another
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: problem for the roster, not having that Jack droscoll type,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: that plug and play guy that kick you out of
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a tough opportunity three games. They don't have that guy
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: right now. Unfortunately.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, and this would only be
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: a self scouting question that the Eagles coaches. I wonder
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: if they ask themselves. Tyler Steen used to come in
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and play quite a bit at left guard. Matt Pryor
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: is a better right side player. Is the combination while
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: landon Dickerson if he continues to be out? Is there
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a better combination to be argue that you moved Tyler
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Stein the left guard and put Prior at right guard
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: than keeping Toath at left guard and Stem at right guard.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I like that move. Obviously, this is with if Dickerson's
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: not ready, Yes, because you're just getting overall a better combination.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Agree, that's where.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: You were going there.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: I look, I'm getting a better player on the field. Yes, yes,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: that's the point. I know Scout has done everything he
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: can for Brett Toath. I actually was talking to an
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: offensive line coach who was I think.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: They he remembered Brett Toath from the East West Shrine
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: game maybe in twenty nineteen. I think that might've been
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the game the practices, and he said, wow, he was
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: kind of surprised that he's still playing. He knew, he
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: was aware he's still in the league. He just never
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: saw him as a guard because he's so tall. But look,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: our friend Todd Herman's play guard. You can do it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is they need better
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: play there, and it's just they thought Tooth would be better.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It's just not good enough. I mean, I know he
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: had some good snaps in that game, but overall, it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: not good enough. And this is if you put on
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: how his checklist for the trade deadline, and guy, they're
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: not even working out players. You know, I get the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: workout list as you do. They're not working they're barely
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: working on players. They worked out Drake Jackson last week,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: left foot upunter because they're facing a left footed punter.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: But where are the works some linemen out anybody, any
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: veterans out there, come.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: On, I know, well, wouldn't bring back Kenyan Green for
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the fit. No, I'm just kidding. He's with the with
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the Ravens. But yeah, no, there's probably should be some
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: more King of Tires of offensive line.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: But yeah, and by the way, we're not trying to
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: because I can already feel the YouTube comments coming. We
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: are not trying to pump up Matt Pryor as the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: second coming of Mackai Becton here. I just think that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: when he's on the right side at guard, he's better
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: than Tooth as a left side left guard. So I'm
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: not saying you're improving yourself dramatically, but you might improve
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: yourself just enough to be better in the run game
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and be more ahead of the sticks. And that's all
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you're looking.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: To do right now, honestly. With Dickersons situation and this
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: front that the Vikings have and all that they do,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: because Brian Flores, he's a top three defensive coordinator and
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: everything he does is so unpredictable. Just and Matt Pryor look,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: say what you want, he was what a fifth rounder
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: and sixth rounder in twenty eighteen here he was a
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: six Yeah, okay, you know, look he's a he's a
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: true journeyman. You don't when I'm starting five games. But
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: playing on him on the right side is the move.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: And it's not like And by the way, for those
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: who asked about their practice squad, I mean I'm looking
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: at it now. They've got Jake Major who's never really played.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Holland Pierce is not ready to contribute. They got the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: international player Felix Fuallo. They don't have anybody. So this
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: is this is not good man.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: No, it's not all right. So if they can get
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the run game figured out, the biggest thing as we
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: move on is what their what their offense in their
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: pass game is missing. Is the right what we call sequencing.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It is a good marriage between your run game, your
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: intermediate pass game, which could include RPOs right and then
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: your deep pass game. And right now, the Eagles are
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a shot play offense, and when the shot plays there,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: which has happened like within halfs of games, it looks
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: good and when it's not there, then it's not good.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And it looks like the second half of the Giants game,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it's not good. But I think people who are I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: would like to ask our great listeners and great viewers
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: who are really upset to just refrain from going to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: your favorite social media platform and saying Kevin Patulo needs
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to be fired, because I feel like we say this
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: every like two or three years. A guy from a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: team that's four and two is not going to get
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: fired six weeks into this season. And I wrote this
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: on Philly Voice and I want to repeat it here.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: It's very important. Let's not be revisionist historians about the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Eagles offensive coordinators. I already see people saying they miss
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. It's like they only remember the Super Bowl
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in the Nison Championship game, and they forgot what the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: first weeks of last years year, other than the Green
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Bay game. But Adam, the Eagles have scored I wrote
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: this more points through the first six weeks of this
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: year than last year. Really, I think people forget. I'm
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: gonna read it to you right now, all right. The
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Eagles scored twenty one points Week two against the Falcons.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: They lost that game. They scored fifteen points against the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Saints in Week three, they won that game on that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: remember that Fluke sort of mesh touchdown to Dallas Goddard.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: That was yeah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a lot of injuries, right, scored fifteen
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: points in that game, all right. They scored sixteen points
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the next week against the Bucks, and then out of
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the buy they scored twenty against the Browns. They won
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a bad game, right, bad performance. Right. So their offense
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: was terrible through six weeks last year, So let's not
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: act like Kellen Moore was the greatest thing. At the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: end of the year.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Hegles were a bottom five passing offense last year.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So there's really not much different right now. And I'm
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: not absolving Petulo. He certainly has to figure things out.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: And it's very fair to say that Kellen Moore at
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: least had experience and so he could adjust along the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: way and things got better, which they did a little bit.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: But he had the benefit of a great offensive line
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and run game, and Petulo hasn't had that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: So we'll get I know, we'll get Greg's notes for
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: our patron members, so I look forward to perusing them.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And editing them for us. And that's a for twier
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: three Gregson sense. This is notes and I'm I'm interested
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: because one of the things I loved about that game
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: against the Giants from a past game standpoint is they
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: got got here involved again. Like he he looks or
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: he looks, he's just he's a beast. I mean, you
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: can't cover the guy in the open ground. You can't.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: He's too big. A J Brown downfield a little bit
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: that that was good. Some intermedia throws. There's just there
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: were It wasn't all bad. It's just that when you
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: can't run the ball and Hurts, he's not been a
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: factor at all in the run game. This is another
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: thing I don't Well, I know you're doing the show
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: with you, you're doing the we'll do the inside of
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: the tape things. So we ask Greg about that. But
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I'm sure on the Tuesday night show that you're gonna
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: do with Greg, I know it's got to come up. Oh,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, yes, God, but what what is he seeing
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: from We've always said hurts us not explosive, but he's
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: super strong and tough as a runner. There's just something
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: weird here, is it? We're just gonna blame it on
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the five starting offensive lineman there. They're not as good.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: And that's it, is it, Greg? Because Greg said repeatedly
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the interior guys don't look the same. We're talking about
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Dickerson and Jurgens. Okay, but there's something missing with this
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: run game other than these guys are playing hurt, beat
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: up physically. It can't just be all that well. We
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: need more answers.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And by the way, pass protection has generally been good.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Even the time to throw for hurts is pretty high.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: So it's not like while they are having struggles in
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the run game, they're not like allowing all these pass
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: rushers to hurts. The Eagles have been getting blitzed a lot,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and that's not always on the offensive line. That's when
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you're running back, pickup comes in, or if your quarterback
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: has to know where there's a free rusher and get
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: rid of the ball, and all of those have contributed
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to a dysfunctional offense. So yeah, this is part of
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the love it. This is part of the self scouting process.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Do we need to switch our personnel up front? Do
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: we need to start running different directions and fooling our
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: opponents better? And can we start doing things that used
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to be successful that we've abandoned, like quarterback runs, which
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: always keeps defenses on their toes. It makes them scared
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to blitz, It makes them it forces them to play
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: a reluctant style of defense at times if you're afraid
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the quarterback is going to break contain. These are all
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: things that they have to discuss.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what before we move to defense, Like there's let's
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: say there's some specific runs that are not working. Change
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: it up. Okay, if you're running a lot inside, change
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: it up a little bit, run more to the right.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: That's on the self scout because when you when you
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: look at predictability, there's certain ways that teams scout. You
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and Greg talked about vance. Joseph had them, He had
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: them totally about what they do, their tendencies. He figured
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: it out. He thought he gets stuff, and they got it.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Like whatever he expected to get, he got it. He
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: shut them down.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: So that that's the thing. You got to change it up.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And then the past game concepts, it's a lot of
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: it really started in twenty three because no one could
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: stop their downfield pass game in twenty two. Then it's
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: like four verts two by two three Byle's. They do
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: the same bleep every week, so they got to see
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: what their tenC is. Informationally, personnel groupings change it up.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Which side. We know Hurts like to throw one side
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: the field, okay, but he's throwing some inside it. You
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: saw that the crossers shallow Crosses are doing that a
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: little bit. Those are working to DeVante and Brown a
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: little bit too goddard. But they've got to figure out
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: what how are they getting caught with tendencies in their
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: past game. That's obviously from they are quality control people.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: And this is where the four day, well really three days.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: What typically happens is on a mini bi is you
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: give the coaches Friday and Saturday off. They come in Sunday,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: they greid the tape. Everything is done before the players
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: get their Monday morning. They have meetings money more than
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: they may do. They may do a small practice like
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the dreaded ten ten ten what Andy used to do
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: with Doug Peterson. I don't know what Sirianny does, but
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I joked, I said no, I said to Mike go
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: on Friday, No, they should be in today. I said, no,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: they should not evenet the weekend off, get those dudes
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: in here. This is an embarrassing I'd be so mad
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: if I'm Siriotti. I know that would not go over
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: well with the coaches, but you.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Got to do I'm with it, right, Yeah, and hey,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: listen on the sequencing that I was talking about and
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: just the situational football that they're really struggling with. I'm
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: gonna give you this from inside the data with Sam
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: all Right. The Eagles have been in third and long,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: which is third and seven or more, forty one times
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: already this year through six games, they have been in
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: third and short eleven times, and third and mid twenty three.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: See if you add up how often they've been in
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: third and short and third and middle, it's still less
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: than how long they have been in third and seven
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: or longer. They are up almost ten percent more of
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: third and long than they were last year. That just
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: shows you right now, it's about this. You're not doing
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: what you need to do on first down so that
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: you can set up what you want to do on
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: second down. You're not doing what you're doing on second
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: down so you can set third down. There's no sequencing,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: there's no comp elementary football here. It is just negative
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: play negative play third and long or positive positive play score.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: And then the next three possessions are you know, neutral negative,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: punt neutral negative. There's just no rhythm right now. It's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. The egos have been in third and long
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: as much as they have been in third and short
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and third and medium combined.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: That's it's totally unacceptable with the personnel. If they have that,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: they have no weakness at receiver or tight end other
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: than backup tight end and using Lotcha the right way.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: We need to play more as an inline tight end.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: This is like and you know what Jeffrey Lorie demands
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: a world class offense. This is this is poor class offense,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: is what it is.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: All right, defensively, let's get to the defense here and
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: this is sort of self scout and then like in
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: your control and out of control. Out of control is
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: for the moment with to Corey and Bennett on ir
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and your health issues at corner. I mean they had
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: to play Adri Jackson and Killer Ringo. You know they
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: didn't want to go in the year ever having to
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: play those two guys as you're just you have to
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: hope that Quinya Mitchell heels quickly from the hamstring, but
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that that is a out of control issue. What's in
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: their control is that And I wrote, you know I
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: wrote this. You could point the finger out how he
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: rose wouldn't say he didn't do a good job of
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: replacing Isaiah Rodgers in the off season. And you know
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: you trade for a guy, but there's no no shretshot
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: to Corey and Bennett was going to be good or greater,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And we don't know because he hasn't played. He hasn't
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: yet been the guy for Vic Fangio.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jalen
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Naylor is a pretty good backup Adam Feelin. By the way, Hockinson,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: this is not what you wanttic late receiver when you've
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: got Quinya Mitchell a hamster injury he had testing Friday.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: There's been no reporting that I've seen that would suggests
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: he's definitely going to be out. But that can't be good.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Look he was he never came back at the game
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: right with the Hampshire injury. Yeah, as you said, he'll
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: have more time to recover. But they are literally a
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: centimeter fin like, they are so paper thin. A corner
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: like this is right now, their healthy corners are Adri Jackson,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Keey Ringo and Perry Nickerson and Mac mcwollins who didn't dress.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Sure they could play Degeena at corner. They absolutely can
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: do that. He was drafted to play corner. Everything changed
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: since then. We know that they've got mccomba and Blankship anyway, safety,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: They could put mcmick Williams at nickel, Parry Nickerson could
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: play nickel, so they have some options and quite frankly,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I'd love to see Gugina corner. I want to see
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: because he could be that this could be a future position.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Who knows, but this this is an absolute nightmare. Think
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: about it, right, Ringo gets benched during the game, Jackson
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: because of the quinia, Mitchrondrey both have to play at
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the same time, and it obviously as bad as you
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: would think. They barely threw the football, which still was
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: bad going against backups for the Giants receiver because remember
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Darrek Slayton didn't play with his hamstring and neighbors out
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: for the season and they still couldn't shut him down.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, I think you're bringing up a really interesting
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: point Parry Nickerson is not your normal practice squad guy.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: He's been in the NFL for for quite a bit.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: He's been on some teams. He's a perfect slot corner
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: if you're if you don't have QUINNYA. Mitchell, does it
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: make sense to play Cooper de Gene full time outside
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: corner against the Vikings and just take your shot with yes,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: somebody else at the slot?
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that that maybe is a
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: bad decision.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: What what But here's the I'm gonna throw it back
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: to you. What what choice do they have?
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: The choice would be going with with ringoing with with No. No,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: That's that's how you really feel about that, Adam, No,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: It's just it's this is absurd, right. Well, yeah, it
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: feels like you're not playing your best. You're not putting
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: your players in the best position to look.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I don't care what Vic thinks. You gotta do. You know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: he could whatever. He he loves him with Nickel, I
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: get it. He's a dynamic nickel player. He's phenomenal Degene. Yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: you gotta do what's best for your football team. He has,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: by the way, to fix credit some things we thought
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: he might do he didn't do you know he people
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: pitching hold and being all school, but he's forward thinking
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: about what the league is trending to the Cooper is
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: a super freak athlete. You could play corner, he could
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: play nickel, he could play safety. Yeah, and they're running,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: they're out of corners. The best corner of the team
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: is Quinnion Mitchell, right, sure, the second best one is
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Cooper de Gene.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 31:18

  Speaker 1: would say maybe you can even get away with moving
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Macuba to Nicol because he has that experience. You're not
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: exactly playing great himself so lately. I know it has
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: some issues the last year and now here this he's
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a rookie, Yeah, growing pains, it's gonna happen. Any reason
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to be down on him, but Vick has been saying
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: it in the press conferences, sort of saying he needs
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to do better at this. He's got to learn this.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not not there yet, but he's giving
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to learn on the fly. Sometimes he makes
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: good plays, but the last two games he's you know,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: not shined. Let's just say that.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And on the practice squad, they've got Ambry Thomas, who,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: by the way, at one point was starting for the Niners,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: who's he's had injury history out of Michigan. I remember him,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: yet another yet another former forty nine er draft pick,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: a third rounder in twenty twenty one. And then they
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: also have on the practice squad they've got Eli Rix's back.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: He's the fourth of he's really a fifth corner. So
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: they've got a problem here, Yeah, justin Jefferson. Can you
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: just imagine if if for some reason they decide that
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: they're not like Quinnon's out and they decide that they're
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: not gonna move Coop to corner and they're going go
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: through he will, I'm telling you even if went Wentz
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: by the way, played out of his lights out in
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the game against uh, was it Cleveland for the for
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: the buye?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: It was Cleveland?
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, he put he he turned the ball over
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but they had a bunch of drops
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh, Right, But I know with Wentz that the
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: mechanics go at any time, but he looked healthy. Someone
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: who grated the tape told me he said he was
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: kind of surprised that he played as well as he did.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I was like, all right, we'll have to ask Greg
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: what he thought. We'll do that this week. But if
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: it is Wentz, they're gonna throw the football and Justin
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Jefferson's having two hundred yards and to get the secondary.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, a minimum for fantasy one fifty.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you one fifty easy. If if it's got
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: to be Ringo or or Dewey Jackson, I'm telling you, well,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: that's a.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Good parlay as we as we look at the Viking situation,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: because is it definitely going to be Carson Wentz. They're
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: coming off there by. I think it's right around the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: time McCarthy is supposed to be. They're gonna supposed to be.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: How he's doing from the high ankle spreen.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. And there offensive line really banged up, so
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Brian Brian O'Neal the right tackle. Uh, he didn't play
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: in their last game with a knee injury. Donovan Jackson
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: their first rounder with the wrist injury, miss the last
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: two games. Ryan Kelly is second concussion. He's on injury reserve.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Michael Jorgens's backup didn't play, so you know, like they've
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: got offensive line problems. That does help the Eagles a
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: little bit. We'll learn more as the week progresses. But uh,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the thing is, man this cornerback position, and we'll we'll
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: give you what. We're still a decent time away from
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline though, teams already trading, and we know
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: where the Eagles is going to go. Where they're going
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: to go at corners that are nuber one need by
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: far nothing who matches it? Yeah, could they use help
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: at edge? They have enough of them, but they don't
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: have an a level pass rusher. Right, But the problem
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: is when you talk to teams, a lot of teams
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: are looking for corners, a lot of teams are looking
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: for edges. So good luck.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the Dolphins have a couple edges. We'll see,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure they're going to get everybody's Bradley Chubb.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Now they're not trading Chop Robinson.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Phillips, maybe we'll see phil Phillips.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, he had a rush on Sunday where he didn't
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: wrap the guy up. But yeah, so we'll look more
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: about it in the coming days. But the bottom line
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: is deals hopefully use their time off wisely because the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: man they have a lot of corrections.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: My goodness, and listen, we're gonna cover everything that goes
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: on with the Eagles this week. We'll have Inside the Tape.
• 37:21
