The DiCecco Daily: What Saquon Barkley Wants To See More Of From The Eagles · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's happened? Everybody? Welcome into another edition of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: check O Daily.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: It's Andrew to check O Eagles beat reporter for Inside
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the Birds dot Com. And Today Saturday, marked the final
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: day of media availability as the Eagles prepared to head
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: west to take on the Los Angeles Chargers Monday night
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: at SOFI Stadium.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I do have.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: An official game status for you, and then I'll get
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: into the Saturday practice report.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So officially ruled out.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Defensive tackle Jalen Carter's shoulders tackle, Lane Johnson foot listed
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: as questionable, safety Marcus Epps shoulder tackle, Miles Hinton back.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: The practice report for Saturday not practicing Jalen Carter and
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Lane Johnson, full go linebacker Zach Bond, hand guard Landon Dickerson, rest,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: wide receiver Johan Tow, safety Marcus Ops shoulder, wide receiver
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Xavier Gibson's shoulder tackle, Miles Hinton back, and outside linebacker
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips concussion So real quick on Marcus Epps. He
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: spoke to us in the locker room on Saturday and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: when asked if he was going to be getting the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: NOD Monday night, he mentioned that he wasn't sure. Keep
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: in mind that if the Eagles wanted to get Marcus
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: EPs in the mix for Monday Night, they would have
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to activate him to the fifty three man roster, and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the same would apply for tackle Miles Hinton. Both players
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: have their twenty one day practice window open, but to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: get them on the fifty three there would have to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: be a corresponding move, So something to keep an eye
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: on there. I have to say the mood at the
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: facility today, whether we were there on the practice field
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: or whether we were in the locker room, it just
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: seemed very upbeat. There was a lot of energy. You know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you walk out to the practice field today. They were
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: indoors inside the bubble. We got to see it very
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: briefly for about ten minutes. The first song that was
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: playing with Regulate by Warren g love that song.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Nice little nod to Michael McDonald. I keep forgetting.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But players were bouncing around, and I just think that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that energy is contagious and something that I think bodes
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: well for the team as they go into Monday Night.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're playing a little bit looser. And I think
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that there was a quote from Saquon Barkley today that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: really resonated and it was candid, and he was very
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: forthcoming in this, and he said when he was speaking
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: about the energy on the sideline during the games, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I don't have the same vantage point as many do
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: because I watched the game from the press box more
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: often than not. When I watch back the game and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I watched it, you know, two or three times, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: think you can also make this case. But he was
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: talking about the energy on the sidelines during the game.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: That's why it's very specific, and it's important to note
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: he said, honestly, I think it's been awful. I think
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: if you ask anybody if they're being honest, we'd all
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: agree on that. Most importantly, I think the energy in
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: practice and walk through in meetings has been great. Now
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: we got to carry that to game day. So all
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the stuff has been great, and now we need to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: make sure on game day the energy is high and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we execute and we make plays. The rest will take
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: care of itself. So the first step to all of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that is obviously acknowledging that there is a lack of juice.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: If you will on.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: The sideline during games, you need to be able to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: pick each other up and make sure you're able to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: sustain that those vibes or energy or whatever you want
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to call it throughout the game and making sure spirits
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: are lifted and all of that, because I think for
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: this Eagles team, having reached the pinnacle of the sport
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: last season just nine and a half months ago, there
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: is a sense of perfectionism and that's great and everything,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: but that can also work against you a little bit
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: because you're so fixated on being perfect and having those
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: wins look the way that you expect it to look,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that anything less is a disappointment. And there's a very
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: business like approach and that's been consistent with their messaging
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: throughout training camp. And what I can tell you is
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: week to week, I do notice these guys having fun
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: in the locker room during the week, and Saquon spoke
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to that. He spoke to other areas that we're not
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: privy too, so walk throughs and meetings and all that,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: but it definitely lacks on the sideline. And I'm sure
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: those who are listening and have watched the games are
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: able to make that same observation.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But for Saquon to come out and say that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I thought was noteworthy and to get out in front
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of it and be aware that that needs to be
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: addressed or they have to work on that. I think
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: is a big step forward because it's easy to brush
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: things under the rug or think that there's nothing to
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: see here and then nothing gets addressed. But little things
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: like that make a big difference in a season. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: leave it to one of their preeminent leaders to point
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that out and get out in front of it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I thought was big. The Eagles also have.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: When we walked into the locker room, just past Saquon's
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: locker in the middle, there is an inflatable Easter bunny
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and it said Happy Easter attached to it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you could see the photos.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Floating around on X and you know it was unofficially
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: dubbed the Positivity Bunny, and.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's to keep the vibes high. You know.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I think I've seen a lot of negativity on social
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: media based off of those photos. And I have to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: tell you, you gotta lighten up. Okay, it's a long season.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: What players do to find ways to keep the mood
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: light and just you know, you know, keep everything, you know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: add some levity to a marathon of a season.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Well, that's their prerogative.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It has no bearing on what's forthcoming, how they're going
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to perform on Monday. Just just lighten up and let
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: them do what makes them happy, because I thought that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you could see that, you know, you couldn't help but
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: smile looking at it, And I think that's a good
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: positive thing. If they want to use that as as
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: something that's going to sort of brighten the mood or
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: or add some humor and levity to, you know, to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the daily grind, I think that that's that's important. So,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you know, it just seems like there's a lot of
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: folks out there that that are looking for something negative
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: or looking to sort of correlate that to to negativity.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: That's going to have no bearing on how the Eagles
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: play football moving forward, to be clear. And I think
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: if that's something that the players want to do, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you know, it's you know, it's not a big deal.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't be viewed that way as a big deal.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Not everything needs to be something that's poked and prodded
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and dissected.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It's it's just it's just something to lighten the mood
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And everybody seemed to be, you know, smiling and laughing
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: about it, and obviously that's that's a positive thing.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: One thing that always scares me is the latest financial scam.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: And with the holidays, it's all about finding the perfect gift.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: But this time of the year, not every deal is
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: actually what it seems. You've got these scammers getting more
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: creative to trick people into sharing their payment info through
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: methods like fake shopping sites and giveaways. You know they're

• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Looking at the defensive tackle situation, I noted this on
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: my ex on my x page, and you know, the
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Eagles have four defensive tackles going into this game on
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the fifty three if you're not counting Jalen Carter, and
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: that's going to be Moro, Jomo, Jordan Davis, Byron Young,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and Ty Robinson. Moro Jomo and Jordan Davis had far
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: surpassed their snap share and they're gonna need some help,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and that's gonna come in the.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Form of Byron Young and Ty Robinson.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Byron Young, by the way, has played one hundred and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: ninety three snaps this season. He'd away previously played ninety
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: nine snaps, and that was when he was a rookie
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: with the Raiders a couple of years ago. He missed
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: off last season with an injury. I believe it was
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a hamstring. So all three of those players are playing
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: career highs and ty Robinson's appeared in six games.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: He's played thirty five defensive snaps.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Now, Vic Vanjo doesn't typically implement a heavy rotation in
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: terms of interior defensive lineman, but when one of those
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: players is someone who has always played thirty five snaps
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: in Ty Robinson, you could make a case for the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Eagles electing to elevate a player on the practice squad
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: just to add another body. They also have Brandon Graham
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: who can give them some interior snaps and moonlight there.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: But the two players on the practice squad, if you're
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: looking at it in those terms, are Gabe Hall, who
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: has two remaining elevations. He was elevated for the Giants game.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: The first game he appeared in was Week one against
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: He was already on the fifty three. He made the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: team outright and then was waived after that. And then
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you have.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Taekwon Graham, who is a veteran player. He's appeared in
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: fifty one games, started in six started in sixteen of
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: them for the Atlanta Falcons. He's a player that I
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: think a lot have forgotten about or maybe aren't even
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: aware that he's on.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: The practice squad for those on the outside.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: But he's somebody who has a lot of NFL experience,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: So that's sort of a.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Safety valve, a little bit of a luxury, if.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: You will, if the Eagles opt to bring up another
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: tackle for this game. And I'm curious to see how
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Byron Young and Ty Robinson respond to this.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I wrote a story on Inside the Birds.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Dot com because I find their stories to be fascinating
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: for different reasons. Ty Robinson was a draft pick that
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I've probably gotten more questions about than any player throughout
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the summer, along with Lewis Seen. And I know it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: been a mystery to some why he hasn't played. There's
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: always reasons for that. There's players in front of him
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: that are playing well. There's the learning curve that probably
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: isn't taken into account for rookies that everybody progresses at
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: different rates, and he had to refine some areas, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Vick Vano is not going to put somebody out there
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: if they're not one hundred percent ready or if he
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: doesn't believe that he's going to put them in the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: best position to be successful. But you know, the next
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: man up mentality often surfaces throughout an NFL season, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: it's going to be Byron Young and ty Robinson that
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: pick up the slack there. So I'm looking forward to
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: seeing what they're able to do with their opportunity. And
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: that's kind of the way things are looking heading into
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Monday night. So you're not going to have Landon Lane
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, You're not gonna have Lane Johnson and you're
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: not going to have.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Jayalen Carter. They're the only players that aren't going to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: be that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Are ruled out and the Eagles are healthy other than that,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: so that's great news and we'll see what happens with
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the Chargers now. On Saturday, they activated running back o
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Marion Hampton, who's missed a lot of the season with injury.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Their dynamic rookie running back. I think that they're going
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: to implement a heavy ground attack in this game. With
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Justin Herbert doing with the injury to his hand. We'll
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: even have to see if Justin Herbert is able to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: play in this game. I'm still not sure. I'mo on
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent sold.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: They're going to keep it close to the vest over
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: there for competitive advantage as well.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Hey it's Jeff Mosher. And if you have a family
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: and kids at home, like me, you always want them
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: to be fully protected. That's why I'm thrilled to be
