ITB: How Will Eagles WRs Be Used In 2026? · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Inside the Birds is back. What's going on. Everybody is
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Jeff Moser and Adam Kaplan and the Eagles are keeping
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: this busy making moves, and you know, it's the first
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: time he and Adam done a pod in a little bit,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and we're excited to go through a couple of things.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go back inside this whole Eagles wide receiver situation.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We've got some little more intel on Wix and just
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the overall makeup of the room. We're gonna go through
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: their draft picks and what they now have because that
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: draft is right around the corner. And you know, we've
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: got our shows previewing each prospect by position with Greg
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Cosell inside the intel with Greg Cosell that's been going
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: up on our platform, and then we'll talk again about
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: what the Eagles need for the future as all these
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: things combined. Adam, you know, I haven't had a chance
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to really to talk to you since on this platform,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: at least since the Egos acquired Dontavian Wicks. And you know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we spent a lot of time talking maybe two or
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: three or four weeks ago about the dangers of trading
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: aj Brown and what the situation would look like how
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: bleak it would be. But then we would also say, hey,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: even if they bring back AJ Brown, their depth at
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: wide receiver has been an issue for a couple of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: years now. They've they've been managing to get by. But
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: now you get in a situation here where whatever happens
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: with AJ Brown, if he winds up coming back, you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: actually kind of look at the depth and you say,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you got some guys that can step in there and play. Yeah,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: still an issue if you trade AJ Brown, but not
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: maybe as bleak as it would have looked three or
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: four weeks ago.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Right, So you know, I believe strongly it's going to happen.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: We don't ever do percentages. That's a complete liste of time,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: but a lot of smart people are and like think
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Brown's going to be traded now, whether it's the Patriots
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: or the front Runner or somebody else. After June first,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: makes the most sense to handle the cap issue so
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: they don't have to take the forty million ish forty
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: million ish at once. You could split over two seasons.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: That's what the June first rule is. Post June one,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: June second, you could split it. So with him on
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the roster, we'll just kind of move this forward here
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: because I know you have some information on Wis and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I could add something else, which kind of surprised me,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: because we like to talk to people after big things happen.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: We tell you what we initially know. But when we
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: call around the league and you find out whether it's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: coaches for an off executives, they it's interesting the stuff
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that they have.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: You never know what you're going to get when you call.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So anyway, so at the exposition right now, it's Brown
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and Wicks, it's Johnny Wilson coming back from a major
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: knee injury. So if they trade Brown, it's Wis, it's Wilson,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and you're you're talking about draft that I would bet
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the house that they would draft somebody. I don't think
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: there's any question the drafting somebody agreed, and that'd be
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the exposition right now.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: That's pretty much it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think that the thing we've talked
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: about a lot is if you trade AJ Brown, do
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you have somebody that can line up and give you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: honest reps at the X spot? And that's something down
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Davian Wicks can do. And this is a guy you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: know a couple of years ago you and I both
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: felt I remember we did a fantasy show and we said,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: don't hold it. We thought he was a rising star
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: because the year before this is like two years ago,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: basically had he had some really nice games. They had
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: some injuries to the wide receiver position. They put him
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in there. He did well. He was really good at
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: using his body, contested catches, going up and getting the ball.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But it didn't quite materialize for him the way we
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: thought it was in Green Bay. But I think, as
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I texted you, I like the kids talent, you just
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: don't love the inconsistency.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly he's really not a starting quality player.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: The more information I got, he flashed like three years
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: ago ago.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was this rookie yearie year. He had five yard.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Fantasy community and I was the only one this is.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It was on the Fantasy channel. I said, guys, be careful.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They've got a big room. They've got a lot of guys.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I kept adding to it, you know, Matthew, Matthew Golden
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: last year, don't just be careful. There's a reason why
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: guys are drafted and why they dry. He should have
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: been going the third round. He had a terrible forty
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: times yep, four six two. But uh, the coaches I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: spoke with over the weekend loved his college date understaid
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he's not fast, long strider okay, short hair quickness, big body,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: run after the catch, good fit for a West Coast offense.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: But on your point, there's a major inconsistency with Flair,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and the problem is he was given chance after chance.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Matthew Golden got hurt last year yep, okay, Jane Reed
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: spick an injury, Jane Reied got hurt, Christian Watson got hurt.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Now, I understand when you move a guy off.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: From your fourth spot to your or number two spot
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: or some times of the fifth spot, that's a big
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: jump and unfortunately just didn't work for him last season.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So hands inconsistent, pretty good route runner from talking to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: multiple coaches, But you're just seeing inconsistency. Yeah, you and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I kind of see it the same way. It's just
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: not a starting quality player's probably best office of three.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Now can he fill in if they let's say they
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: draft they trade Brown or they have an agreement before
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the draft, but it doesn't consummate until June second and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: they draft somebody, Well, well, to me, if they trade,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: if they have an agreement on trading Brown, you're drafting
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: someone if it's the second rounder.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Your second rounders to start a round.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Not all second rounders come in and start, but to me,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: it would be to me, it's more of a receiver
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: by committee. You just there's nothing to show that Wix
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: could be a consistent player. Well, this is over four years.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I understand circumstances or sometimes out of their control, but
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: it does concern me last season in particular, when there
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: was a great chance for him get to come up
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: big and it just didn't happen.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And it's a good opportunity to come
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to the E. He knows the offense, so his assimilation
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be very difficult. I think it's another sign that
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of what the new offensive coordinator, Sean Mannon
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is going to do is going to come from the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Green Bay school and he can play that position. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: agree with you. It's not nothing is being handed to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: him at all. But he did get a contract extension,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: so he's gonna play a role. And look, he averaged Yeah,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: he'll have a role. He averaged fourteen point nine yards
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: per reception as a rookie that in retrospect now was
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: probably a little bit of the anomaly. He's been around
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: ten or eleven the last two years, but there's no
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: question that when you pair him with Jalen Hurts, who
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: likes to throw the deep ball outside the numbers, there's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a good opportunity for him to make a couple of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: plays per game.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: He may not be the most consistent guy in the world,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: but he can still. I remember Quaes Watkins made a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: couple of plays a game for them few years ago. Now,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he obviously blew in the Super Bowl, but the point
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: is depth. And again, one thing I was told about
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: on Tavian Wicks, and this is an interesting pattern, right,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Howie Roseman liked Dantavian Wicks a lot coming out of Virginia.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Ah drat that matters. I didn't know that it does.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, always right now, he didn't get an opportunity.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Eagles had a fifth round pick
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that year. I'd have to go back and check twenty
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: twenty three. Did the Eagles have a fifth round pick
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that year? Let me go take a quick look. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: know that's the year they got Jalen Carter in the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: first round, and then.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: They did they did.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I wonder, No, no fifth round pick, isn't they didn't.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Have a fifth No, they did not. I'm sorry, yes, fifth.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Right, and that's the round that Wix went in. So
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: obviously how we liked him, didn't have an opportunity to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: pick him. But how many guys have we talked about
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that how we liked I mean, Marquise Brown is actually
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: one of those guys who was connected to the Eagles,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and a lot of guys who have taken thirty visits
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: with the Eagles but didn't. Arnold Ebaghetty good example, right,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: didn't wind up playing for him. How we just has
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a pension for going to get guys who was interested
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in a little bit later in their careers if they
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: weren't Egle. So it'll be interesting I mean again, good
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: role deeper.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: The one thing we have to question, though, is how
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it all fits from a numbers standpoint, because there is
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: no special team's history. I think it's like one percent.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Dantavian Wicks is not a special teamer him, Hollywood Brown
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: not much of a special teamer. I think Eli Elijah
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Moore we said, does some returns, right, but he's not
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: like a core special teamer if I'm if I'm mistaken.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: So I think it's really still a very good opportunity
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Adam for Darius Cooper in year two to really, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: impress the coaches, show what he can do.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: You know what they do if as traded, and do
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: they draft somebody. Yeah, I was.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I was sort of under under this discussion that AJ
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: is more likely to be traded. If he's not, it's tougher,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: but hey, it's still her two for a young kid
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: who showed you something. I think that there's some good
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: opportunity there for Cooper as long as he continues to progress.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: One thing added in WIX. I was told absolutely he
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: could play inside.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He's not a slot receiver, but you can buy formation variation,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: as this pro personnel guy told me. He said, the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: tape shows he can play inside. But you like him
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: at the exposition. He didn't mention Z. He just said,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: if you want to play him inside in three receivers
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: in eleven personnel, you can do that. So yeah, Greg
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: goes so really Greg really liked him. The last time
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: we talked about it wasn't just for the draft, it
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: was whenever they played Green Bay over the last three years.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I know Greg spoke weel of Wicks, so and we'll
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: talk to Greg about it later in the week when
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: we take more of the shows for the draft. So, yeah,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: it's interesting trade. You know, they gave up two draft picks,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a fifth this year and sixth next year. And they
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: still by the way, they still actually know they actually
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: so they do we know which pick that they're giving
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: up with the two fifths that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't at the at this second.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Because you can't trade compicts.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So they own two of them, one fifty three overall
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: from the Falcons that the trade last year, and then
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they have the compensitory pick one seventy eight overall.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: But anyway, they're trading one of them. Yep. And the
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: question now is.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: If Brown is traded, who's going to start in his place?
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: And that that that that's something that they'll answer. We
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: know Wix will absolutly be a part of the rotation.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: That's not a question. The question is how could he be.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: He's he's moving now you the offense. He knows.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: The other big part about this, the real big part
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: about it is he knows the offensive coordinator. Now, when
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you say he'll know the offense. Well, we don't know
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: exactly the percentage breakdown of what is it's going to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: be pure Shanahan, pure McVeigh, a combination of both. That
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: that remains to be seen. We just know that we
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: know that the language is changing. He'll absolutely know that
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the West Coast verbage. Yeah, it's a Bourbon system, not
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the numbering system.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: You know, it'll be interesting as the years go by
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to see if the floor the La Floor offense becomes
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a thing. Because he's his offense is sort of Shanahan,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it's it's under that Shanahan McVeigh tree, but he does
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he's like more like McVeigh. We've talked about this where
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: he does stuff that is different. Doesn't always run wide zone.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: In fact, he'll run gap and power because he has
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a great, great inside runner in Josh Jacobs, and his
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: passing game has RPOs in. It's not Kyle Shanahan esque.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: It's more McVeigh asque Early ay Ask. He's definitely ran
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a lot eleven personnel. He also runs twelve personnel, so it'll,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know, it'll just be interesting if La four Lafloor
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: winds up getting his own little it's a the floor offense,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: not necessarily.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Well, it looks for this way. The thought around leagues
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: it's more the floor than Shanahan. But there's no way
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to know, a babe, what tells you it's going to
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: be more of the floor. The floor does not use
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a fullback, correct, And that's does Kyle check who. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: don't know that he goes to the Hall. He's gonna
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: be a Hall of Famer. But the guy's the highest
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: paid full back in the NFL history for a reason.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Guys really good football player, so we'll see.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: It's interesting. The guy's never called plays before. It's just good.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of unknown here. I think this thing
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: could look beautiful if he I'm not doubting he's the smartest.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: People we spoke with say he is. But he hasn't
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: called plays and he hasn't coached these players. So until
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: he gets used to them play kongs ANARTI has only
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: been coaching a couple of years.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: That's another problem. Yep, that's a challenge. But you just
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: don't know. You just don't know right now.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: That's is how many players have they gotten from Green
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Bay so far?
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Is this?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Is this the only one so far? Wicks or is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: there somebody else I'm forgetting there players? Yeah, who's the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: running back? They added? They added a running back.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Pierce did not play for the Carson against City.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so it's just him.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking at I'm looking at it right now.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Johnny Mount's not Johnny mounts from the West Coast thry
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: totally from the West coastry. Right, every every team he's
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: played for has been West Coast. But he he didn't
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: play for the Packers, right, Ryan mcaffey played, was a
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: coach for the Packers. Who's the tight end slash run
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: game coordinator?
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: And that's it? Yeah, don't say anyone.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, if you can't get players that you get,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: if you can only get one player that you have
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: real first hand knowledge with, you might as well get
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: players that you know have played in a similar type scheme.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the Eagles have done here. So
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be really interesting. And I don't want
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to neglect to mention, you know, a big, big sort
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of comeback year two for Johnny Wilson. Now with the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: room starting to get crowded, now he can play special teams.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He did play special teams as a rookie along with
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: being the blocking receiver that he was in there for.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: So you can't when you're talking about making this team
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: as a backup receiver as a four or five or six.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Special teams is important, So we can't forget that. So
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it'd be really interesting to see how he comes back,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: because that was a pretty You and I were both there, right,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that was a pretty gruesome injury.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Ye I felt bad he happened to actually run kind
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: of were right in front of me.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: You couldn't tell a severity until you down for a while.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: And then they picked him up and he you see
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: it on his face, it was it's concerning, and you
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: know it's someone holding up both.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Of his shoulders and it's just you hate to see that.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: But so if let's assume from the moment that Brown's gone,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you've got the guys you expect to make it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Or wis.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Wicks Smith Hollywood is three and is five million full
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of guaranteed Yep, so that's three. Davante's four. The drafting
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: would be five.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Wait, you said Smith after a Wick, So Davante is Smith?
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, say first name is just so we get
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: through this again.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: So don Tavian Wicks is one, Davante Smith is two,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown is three.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Right, then you got a little interesting conversation. I think,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you know, it gets really interesting.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: That's why I want to talk about this because you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: we did a lot over the weekend. But it's what's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: it going to look like? And you make the really
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: good point here, special teams matters. Now we have no
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: idea if Johnny Wilson could run like that's the thing, right,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I think for.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: This, for the sake of the discussion, we have to
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: say draft pick four because we would expect the Eagles,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: even with Brown, to expect to hit a draft pick
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: here at wide they will.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So with Dantavian Wicks, DeVante Smith, Hollywood Brown, the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: draft is four mm hmm. Cooper is five, Elijah Moore
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: is six mm hmm.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And Johnny's trying to knock one, trying to knock more.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: How he keeps seven? But yeah, because yeah could keep six.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I mean you know how that works. Yeah, we've said
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: a thousand times, you go heavy at one spot, you
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: gotta go.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Thin at another. True, So I could see them. Yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: six is realistic. Elijah Moore to me, we have not
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: got his contract breakdown yet. I'm very interest to see
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: if there's any guaranteed money. You know, it's crazy. I'm
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: doing a contract show later this week.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: They gave Damian Pierce like two hundred and fifty grand
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: guaranteed a lot.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: That is interesting.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Stn't smart too now.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Now, as one person said to me, I ran it
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: by who pretty sharp, someone who works for a team.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: He goes think of it as a practice squad contract
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: because the money is guarantee. These guys, you know, obviously
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the chances of them making it aren't very good.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: So they just could there.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: They're gonna home to two hundred and fifty grand, two
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: undred twenty five thousand. You just whatever the practice squad
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: money is, that's what it is guaranteed, you think with
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that one?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, I guess that makes sense when you think
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: about it, that one.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: But still they like him enough. Yeah, and Covey.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Covey does count against if he makes it as a
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: pump returner, he does count against their super position. Oh,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: he might only get ten snats for the season. So
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the z By the way, so we talked about the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: exposition di ZS would be DeVante Smith Hollywood, Brown, Elijah Moore,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Jars Cooper. The slots are guys who can line up inside.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Is Davante Smith boy when he winds up inside, he's
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: pretty good. The numbers show it. Yeah, Elijah Moore, Cooper
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: can line up inside.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Obviously covey.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: But now the one guy said him, he goes, I'm
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: telling you Dante Wix can line up inside if you
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: want him to.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Hmm, Okay, I'm not you know these guys knower one
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I do. I'm like, okay, I understand, so right, uh,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: but I'm guessing it.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: It's just kind of maybe it was in in on
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: third down where they moved him around and maybe he
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: looked like he lined up inside by formation by the tape.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: But want to give him as an insider receiver.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: But they could they have enough. But the thing to
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: me would be concerning is if Brown is traded Wix
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: to me, he's going to.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Make just under four million this season, then the twelve
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: point five million. We don't know what the guarantee is yet.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: We'll have the breakdown for you when we get it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: But depending on Wix to be as start in me
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: is really forward thinking. He's never shown that he could
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: be a full time starter. But as we said, that's
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: where the draft pick comes in.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: That's where the draft pick comes in. Yeah, which you
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: have to hope that guy is good enough to play
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: right away or else you have to kind of move
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: things around. Now Smith, you mentioned DeVante will finish it
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: with this. You know, he is a very good slot
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: receiver because he's such a great route technician and the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: only reason earlier in his career, I was told the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Eagles by by year two, I think it was I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: was told the Eagles really didn't want to force feed
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: him into the slot too much. It was more because
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: of his knees and his build. It wasn't about talent
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: or fit. You know, he's got he's skinny. You know,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you have to run block a lot. You know, if
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you want to run eleven personnel and and run the ball,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: then he's your slot. Then he's gonna have to block,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and that's not you don't want him in all that
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: congestion in traffic. So it has nothing to do with
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: fit talent. It's just more about preserving his body.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, the fifth round pick is was Yeah,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: the one from Atlanta.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: So that's that's the that's the first, so they still
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: have a first, a second, two thirds. One of them
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: is a compic to force one of them is a compic,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: a fifth compick.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: How he was it kidding?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: No, he wasn't.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to trace or look back on the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the third round compic number nine ninety eight overall because
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that's the Milton Williams pick and see what kind of
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: player that the Eagles wind up getting. And by the way,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get most likely the number ninety eight overall
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: pick again next year for losing Jail and Phillips, so
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: something in that vicinity. So it'd be really interesting to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: track those two.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: It's funny, how I know.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: The Bengals over the years have told agents so like
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: they're flat out honest with them, why they're a little
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: cash ben some years, actually it's a lot of years,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: but they'll they'll tell them, hey, listen, we we're gonna
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: let this guy walk. We rather we think getting a
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: compic is smarter. They've used that line. I've heard that
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: for ten years, and that's that's how cheap they are.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we should go back and look at their history
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of drafting and see if that's worked out for them.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: But yeah, other things is a great theory, but not
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: if you're not good at drafting. I'm here in the line.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: They've never understid never win, you know why, because they
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: don't understand how you win. You build on the lines.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: The Ravens have understood that the Eagles are the kings
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: of it, which Joe Bann and Jeffrey Lower brought in
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: decades ago. It seems like the most obvious thing you
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: copy off of the most successful teams. Yep, they capulate
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: off the Niners, Walsh's Niners of how he did it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I don't understand it. It just mystifies me. My teams
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: don't understand it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I remember in twenty seventeen, Adam, you and I did
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: a draft. Was it that year when they took John
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Ross like ninth overall?
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, oh, oh my god. I almost feigned Yeah, Bengals.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I'll be the first to tell you I really liked Genre.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I thought he was great in college. I loved his speed.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I just I didn't think he was I obviously was
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: wrong about his talent too, but I thought that going
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to the Bengals at ninth overall was almost insane to me. Well,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: at the time, he.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Had a major injury history out of University of Washington.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately didn't stop there.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Ironically, the Eagles would would would want to bring him
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: in years later. They always liked him.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I remember they talked to the Bengals when they were
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: when they were considering moving them, and it just it
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: never happened.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: But I remember running into someone very close to John.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Ross at the draft and the person asked me, what
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: do you think I said, late first, early second. This
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: person said, yes, that's what we've heard, so somewhere hope
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: we hope. In the twenties, right when he went nine. You,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: when I were doing the show for the fanatic, I
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: just was the Trubisky shock was bigger. I'm sorry that
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: was bigger because you.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: And I were like, who could it be? Who could be?
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Who could it be? We all got it wrong, no
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: one got it right.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I know that was a crazy draft. I wonder if, oh,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: by the way, you mentioned Paris Campbell. That's another guy
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that the Eagles liked at one point. In fact, he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: would have been the pick if it was not Jiji
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: ar Thingga Whiteside. That was the one that was the right.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Between Campbell and twenty nineteen Campbell Campbell was twenty nineteen.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I wound up, you know, being we we've gone through that,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: we don't need to rehab.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Actually try to trade out of that spot. Unfortunately didn't work.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I thought I had trade worked out. Hey, sometimes yeah,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: it doesn't work out.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: But he came back years later too. All right, So
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: looking at again, you just went through the Eagles picks, right,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: they got this is independent of a potential trade for
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: aj Brown. They have their own first round pick, twenty
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: three overall, fifty four overall. In the second round, they
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: got the third round pick from the Hassan Reddick trade,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: so they don't have their own third round pick. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: forget where that was.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: No, but you know what, I know some people I
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: understood then, and I understand to a degree.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: But when you look back, the Eagles made a good
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: decision and not resigning him. I know at the time
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: people are like, are you out of here mind?
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: What is going on? Right?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Well, they made the right decision because it since Reddick left,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: it's been steadily downhill. You know, when he tried to
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: hold out and the craziness of what happened with the Jets,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: but he was always durable. But with the Bucks, he
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: was hurt. I always say this club's no more than
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the public does. They were right about that one.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, they don't have any of their They
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: get the compick. Also, we talked about they have two
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: fourth round picks, a fifth round pick, and a sixth
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: round pick, so they got plenty of The sixth round pick,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: by the way, came from the Sydney Brown trade from
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the Falcon, So they gave they gave away the fourth
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: round pick that they got from the Falcons, right, Uh,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to get Wix. But now they've got the sixth round
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: pick from the Sidney Brown trade.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: That's funny.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: They were, they were, they're really What they did is
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: they were able to move up in the fourth round.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: You know, they traded spots honestly for a special teams player.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Now my senses, they feel somehow he's going to contribute
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: on defense.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Luck with that one. And and uh, what's his name?
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Was not here? Ian Cunningham was not here when he
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: was drafted. It was with a Bears. Then I looked
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: it up, Well, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: what he sees in City Brown.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just hard to believe that was a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: head scratcher.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Uh, I know he's a great special teams player other
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: than the penalties. Okay, good luck with that one anyway.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially I think you mentioned this at the time.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It's not like the Falcons have a bunch of picks,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: so that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Was Yeah, that's surprised. And the needs of the future
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: of not change still receiver for the future, remember past
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: That's what the draft is.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Right end, right tackle Lane Johnson's replacement guard because Tyler
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Stein was average at best. He's also in the fronty
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: of his rookie deal. Edge is a major need in
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: terms of an upgrade. They're looking for an upgrade. They
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: try to get the upgrade with Phillips, so they're telling
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: you what they're want. Cornerback Vic Fangio will tell you
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I was surprised when he said it. He goes, nicol
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: is not a corner. It's not a it's not a corner,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: and I was like, what is this guy talking about.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I thought he was out of his mind, But he
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: explained it thoroughly. He said corners had an outside position, Nicholas.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Not yep, And that's basically that's how he said. Nickel
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: corner is outside.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Right, right, And you know what Okay, I stopped calling
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: guy's a nickel corner. I'm not calling that guy at all.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: He's at nickel that's right. Hey, hey, who mine? Are
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: you with a All fame coach? And then yeah, cornerback
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: in safety? Safety?
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, folks, get it's funny because you look at
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: our YouTube board.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: People get all hot and bothered. But how could you
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: say this? No, safety is the biggest thing on the
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: football team, folks.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: It's certainly now in the future, but it's not when
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: you base it on value, it's lower.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Safety is not a valuable position comparatively. Yeah, arguing that
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: it's not arguab absolutely.
• 25:27

  Speaker 1: at PHL sports Nation. So of these positions, we have
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: listened about seven of them. They're just like there are
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: a couple though, that you know can be still upgraded
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: even now. In bargain free agency. Safety I believe is
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: one of them you can still probably I know I've
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: written about it. There's three or four or five guys
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: who have been starters in this league that you can
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: upgrade and then get your future guy in the draft.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I would also say backup guard depth, right, you can
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: probably go find that and you're not going to find
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: a starting caliber edge, not going to find a starting
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: caliber corner. Maybe wide receiver though it's not really other
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: teams have been able to do it. How he's not
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: really hit We just we mentioned Campbell, we mentioned Ross.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: It's been tough for him to find bargain one year
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. You know, Eli Moore, Elijah Moore will be
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the next attempt, But he doesn't really hit there real well.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Well, you know who's out there, and if Brown as traded, I.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Know who yep. And it almost it almost makes me
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: think he's out here for like his agent is not
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: going to have a deal until agent.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, that would be interesting.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what that would That would certainly draft
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: proof at least for one year, because they would have
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: they'd be it's he's another guy.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: If you want him to line up inside, he can
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: In fact, one of the I believe one of the
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: places he lined up and sign against the Eagles in
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, yeah, we're talking about Juwan Jennings from.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: The second Yeah, so he's look, he's a you'd rather have.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: He's really a third receiver. He could start if you
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: need him to. He's a great story of development. Another
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: guy Greg loved. He knew how slow his forty time
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: was because I'm just telling what the tape looks like.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: He loved this guy. I don't remember as doing. Ah,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I don't remember like what year that was he came
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: out for the draft mm hmm, but he was only
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: seventh round. But the guy's been a great story of development.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Had numerous injuries and he's been able to play through it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: He just wanted. The word around the league was he
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: wanted a lot of money. He's not getting it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Yep, he's theoretically he should be signing one year deal
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: for two or three million. Blow it up in a roll.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Look now, if you're him, don't you want to wait
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: till after the draft to see what the teams do?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: That?
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Absolutely? Yeah, I'm not signing some s one year deal now.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, like somebody might want me
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: for even or a bigger one year deal once they
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: realize how badly they need me.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure like it.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like with Beckton, right he goes signed
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: beckten after the draft? Who they hell know who run
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: hup starting guard like that was insane. R. But you
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: want to go somewhere where you know you've got a
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: shot to contribute meaningful snaps so you can get paid
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the following year.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: M hm.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah, real quick, the best available receivers or Deebo
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Samuel was going to it would cost it's going to
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: cost money. Jwan Jennings Diggs was cut. He's also got
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: a legal issue. He's got to get straight out.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: My guy Brandon Cooks, who was their Eagles guy in
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, unfortunately didn't work out. That's a thirty for
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: thirty by the way, and then he MANI mini show. Uh,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: keenan Allen's still out there.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Curtis my guy.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: That's my guy.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: He's a slot. He's a slot for sure. Hopkins is
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: near the end.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Ju Ju smith Suster who plays both inside or outside.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds, who's an X. It's pretty no Brown's out, no, yeah, No,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Brown's out there.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's out. He's wherever Noah Brown goes, he winds
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: up making some pretty good contributions. So but yeah, man,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: keenan Allen, if you told me the Eagles were gonna
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: sign Keenan Allen. I would probably like go from here
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to oh. I Like, you know, if they traded a
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: J Brown they bring in Keenan Allen, I would be like, okay,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: well we'll.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Think about this though with him, Okay after the draft.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: If you're Keenan Allen once you this is probably gonna
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: be a free Would you just want to sign somewhere
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: you can win a ring?
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yep. The only issue for me is when
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I think about it more is I don't know it
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: would it would almost have to be like the idea
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: of Keenan Allen and the idea of Jalen Hurts throwing
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the field between the number. I
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: wouldn't like Allen to come here and then Jaleen Hurt's
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: not like adapt It's a fair point. But when he
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: was in Chicago a couple of years ago, like it
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: would you know with with Caleb Williams just not being ready, Well.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: He was, he wasn't ready, but he certainly showed. I
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: understand the yards per catch wasn't very high, but he
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: still can be haven. We said it for years, Eagles
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: don't have a pure possession receiver right like adjacent avon type.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: You know what he is, Yep, short area, tough, run
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: after the catch. He's not going to beat you and race.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: That's that's right.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: You're not that. He's not a burner, you know.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Just catch the ball.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Model Zeble draft in twenty twenty thirteen, he was drafted.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I have to look at what I oh, gosh, allan yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Like col right twenty thirteen. Yeah, here, here's what happened.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: He didn't run at the combine. He there was a
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: lot of talk that he was going to drop, and
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: he did drop to the third round, which seems he's
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: probably gonna be a Hall of Famer. Seems ridiculous. But
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: possession receivers are you know, they they get discriminated against.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Oh he only is this short area guy. I mean
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Cooper copp Alan, These guys are Keene's gonna.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Make all fame. He's WOWK number I don't. I know
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: he's had a share of injuries, but man if one, two, three.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Four, five, I was the five with a six oh
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: yeah three first.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Year yet you're right his first year was actually six correct.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and one year his eight yards sort of it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, you could probably make a pretty good
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: argument for ye.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Big time possession receiver. Ye, wouldn't you want to have
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: a chance to win a win a ring?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, But I think there were probably four or five
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: teams now that he could probably feel that he's got
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a good shoot. The Packers could sign him now that
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: they've got no wigs and no dubs, right, and he'd
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: fit into that offense really well. So I don't know,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: these are why these guys haven't signed, because they know
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: there's opportunities out there. I just gotta wait for things
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: to materialize. All right, good stuff, Adam, good good pod.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: By the way, I meant some tell you got you
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and Andrew did an awesome pod last week. Really enjoyed that.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: On the draft, Oh, sleepers are phenomenal. You got there
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: were there was one or two guys I didn't know
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: a lot about mm hmm.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: And yeah that's good stuff. And in fact, we'll wanna
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: we'll run them by Greg if we can. We we
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: do like one more.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: We got to cut. We got de tackles coming this week.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: We got detacle, we got edge D tackles. Yeah, we're
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: basically starting defense.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: So okay, cool, okay, great, great, all.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Right, awesome, that'll do it. For this episode of Inside
