  Speaker 1: Bad Football for is powered by the Inside of the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Burns podcast. It is brought to you by the Fanatic
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Sports Book at Osakasina Resort in Atlantic City. The Eagles
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: practice report is out fresh as a daisy and today
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a questionable status for Lane Johnson. What does it mean
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and more. We'll get into that right now. Adam Kaplan
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: is here from the Inside the Birds podcast with a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: look at the Eagles injury status. Because this was a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: big story this week. Adam whether to rest the players,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: play the players. They rested the players and the injury
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: report reflects that they are pretty healthy as they enter
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the game on Sunday.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: But we're not healthy enough. Mike Lane Johnson did not
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: take all the ones this week. That's a bad sign
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: for Sunday. It's not positive, it's just the right list.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Fronc Sprain. He's had this now for nearly two months.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Mike's still not there yet. We'll see if you can
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: get through pregame warm ups. If not, he'll be Fred
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Johnson again. But I get the positive news is na
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Kobe Deane was cleared. He'll be in the lineup. Dickerson
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: is fine, he'll play. Greg Kalkutaro. The number two. Ton
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: End has been cleared. He'll play God, it's fine with
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the knee that he had last week. And Marcus Apps
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: has been cleared out of concussion protocol. That's a big one.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Brette did get some work in this week. That's actually important. Mike.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: He's got to get final medical clearance to be able
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to be cleared to dress for the game and be
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: their top back up into your alignment. So yeah, there's
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: some very positive on ants. Slane Johnson, he did not
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: take all the ones. Mike. It's a small surprise, to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be honest with you, because remember the big reason why
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: they did not put him an IR is they thought
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: there was an outside chance he could play by the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: fourth game. That never even came close to happening, unfortunately,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and right now it's very questionable whether he's going to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: play well. And then the other thing is Mike with
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: this type of injury, which is much harder on bigger people.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: As a former Eagles assistant athletic trainer Aaron Bergman told
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: us for a Patreon members, the bigger you are, the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: harder it is to play with the spring and he
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: said he thought he would have to play with a
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: spe seized cleat and it would be really hard, but
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: he'd be able to get throwed, he thought at some point.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: But we'll see, Mike. It's it's gonna be hard even
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: if he plays, and we know again Fred Johnson would
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: fill in. Right.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: He did practice limited today for the third straight day,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but as Adams said, he is obviously limited and that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: is not an injury that normally you see guys come
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: back from in the middle of the season as well,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So we'll see if Lane Johnson can go. Brett Toth,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned, that is big because he is the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: main fill in for Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens, two
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: guys who have had trouble getting through games.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Both guard and center. Yes,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: but really, Mike, he doesn't play. He doesn't really play
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: both guard spots. He can, but that's really not his strength.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: He's improved at center, Mike. That was a big surprise
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to us when he started. He's had one good game
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in his current it was absolutely dominant, So that was
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you know, that's good that the finally show that he
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: can play in the league. And Jed it's been a
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Jeff Stallin special. He had a lot to deal with
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: him him being signed I'm told as an undirected free
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: agent twenty nineteen. As you know, he's been on and
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: off the ruster for a number of years, but he's
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: on it now. So that's that. But the Niners, Mike,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and their injury report won't be out for about another hour,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: hour and a half. The big one it's going to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: be Trent Williams, their left tackle. They are three and fourteen.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: When he does not play, that's a problem. And you've
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: seen what it's life is like without Eagles right tackle
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Lane John said, it's not good. Though they've been able
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to win a little bit without him. So Mike, just
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to give you some contacts on how bad the situation
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is at edge. So in week one they played at
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Seattle and they actually won that game. Of course they
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: lost last week. But in Week one, Nick Bosa was
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: their right end. Since then, he's torn ACL. He's done
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: since then. Mike kel Williams is their first round pick
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: out of Georgia. He started a week one, he was
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: number ninety eight. He tours ACL in week nine. He's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: done since week one. Fred Warner, who was in the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: line visit a middle linebacker. He suffered a fracture and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: dislocation of his bankle. There's an outside chance if they
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: got to the championship game, he'd be available, but he's out.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: They've replaced both starting safeties Mike d Winters, who started
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a Week one very questionable play with an ankle entry,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: so they could potentially be down Mike. If d Winners
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't play, then we're looking comparably at the Week one
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: six players. Mike. That's I don't know how you overcomes
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: losing over half of.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Your defense, right, I mean, we were talking the outside
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: view at three thirty today talking about their linebacker Kaisier White.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: We talked on Tuesday winning signed and they're anticipating that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: he's going to get snaps in the game on Sunday
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: just because they don't have guys. Talking about Bryce Huff
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that he's basically passed to play more on running downs
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: because they've run out of guys up front as well.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That's how limited they've become upfront. So it's a very
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: banged up defense.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going to see this kid, sam Okuano. He
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: starts his number ninety one. He's one of the red rushers.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Bryce Off and then yet another guy who
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: got hurt. Tatum Bethune, who was starting. He was the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: he was starting for Warner. He tores gore and he's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: having surgery. He won't be back till next season. They're
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: just there. They're a skeleton crew. The only position that
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: has not had any turnovers. At cornerback Diamedor Lenoir number three,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you're going to see and Ernardo Green, who they really like,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: but in Nick injury, he's missed some time. He's back.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: They have two new safety Malik Mustafa and Jaya Brown.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: You might remember him number twenty seventh and Penn State.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But Mike the one thing that's pretty healthy other than
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Ricky Piersoll's got a bad knee and he's very questionable play.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I'm told the big one is try Wyams. So I
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: mentioned Austin Plens who's a true journeyman who's not very good.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: What an advantage he'd be number sixty three didn't play
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: well last week. If if he had a start, that's
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a great advantage for the Eagles. But their offensive line
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is only really down. Ben Bart, who was one of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: their starting guards, who had by the way to lift Fronc.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: He had the actually the rupture that's the one that's
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: that's seven eight months. He won't be back till the summer.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But the backfield's healthy, quarterbacks healthy, their running back is healthy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So look, deal, Kyle Shanahan. He's done a phenomenal job.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He won't get any votes Bobly for Coach of the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Year because they're usually good, but he's done a great
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: job of coaching this season.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Adam, real quick, this game opened at three, it is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: up to six.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Well right now, that's insane. I look, the Eagles play
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: too many games close to too tight. I don't like
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that number. That's ridiculous, but I've liked it. Eagles all
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: week to win the game by three to seven points,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I think that's way too many. That's unbelievable. Because this
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: morning is it open at what three and a half?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I saw it at five or five and a half.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: It's up to six. That's ridiculous. I know it depends
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: on the book that you look at, but that's insane. Man.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: The Eagles are just Look, they're a much healthier other
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: than Lane Johnson's situation. That that's pretty significant. By the way,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: if Lane doesn't play, it's a problem. But Mike, the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: good thing is their pass rush is so bad. They
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: play the wide nine. It's not the white nine. It's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: not hard to decipher from an offensive line standpoint. You
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: just have to you know, how to play that. Then
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: they've sound like they haven't seen it before. But you know, overall,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I understand he goals being favored and they should be
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: faired by more than three, but six is a lot. Yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Six. And by the way, the over understarted at forty
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: six and a half. It's down to forty four and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a half. So you see a lot of teams not
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: believing in the Eagle offense. San Francisco obviously has got
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: some limitations on the outside. So kind of a rock
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: fight here between these two teams in Philadelphia. You could
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: listen to the game right here on ninety seven three ESPN.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Will be keep an eye on Trent Willims. You just
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: mentioned that their record with and without Trent Williams very
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: similar to the Lane Johnson situation without him. You mentioned
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: what four and thirteen with with Trent Trent Williams in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the lineup. Since twenty twenty, they are sixty one and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: thirty two.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Incredible.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia is one ten and fifty seven with one tie.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: When Lane Johnson plays. They are eighteen and twenty seven
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: without him, so keep an eye on both of those guys,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and of course we'll be back to recap, hopefully this
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: game moving forward and not the offseason when Adam Kaplan
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is back next week for Football at four. All right, Adam,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: thanks man,
