Football at Four: Where Can The Eagles Find Help at CB Within Roster? · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: In twenty seventh at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: We've got a plethora of mail bag questions for the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Mosher mail Bag segment today, which will lead us into
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: one week to the Eagles getting at training camp. And
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: if you have an Eagles question, uh for the mail
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: bag segment, we will have a couple of mail bags
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: left before training camp. Moster's back on Monday, and then
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of course Wednesday he's here. They will be back on
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the practice field, so there will be plenty of things
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to discuss when that returns the Eagles, I should say,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: when they return six oh nine, four oh three oh
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: nine seven three. If you want to get a mail
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: bag question in for our Eagles football at four segment today,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you know we've had some Eagles questions throughout What are
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the questions that we asked earlier on the show. I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: just wanted you guys to think about this, what happened
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: if the offense struggles this year? What scenarios do you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: see as possibilities? I see three scenarios definitively. One The
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: question goes, this is the question, what happens if the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Eagles offense struggles again this year? One do they get
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: rid of the coordinator again, I don't think I see
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that happening back to back years. Two do they get
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: rid of the head coach? Three? Do they move on
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: from the quarterback? Text in six nine four h three
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: nine seven to three. All right, Mosher is here. We
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: got the mail bag ready to go. We got a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: ton of questions today as people know that the mailbag
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: season is running out because Jeff Boucher training camp season
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is almost ear which means they know they don't get
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to ask the questions anymore once the training camp session
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of the season gets your what's up.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Man, what's going on? How you doing, Mike?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm cautiously ready for training camp. You know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things. I got the football it'ch today.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Today was like the first day when I was like
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I got a little itch for football.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm good, all right, I like it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It's uh. I will admit to you that when we
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: do some of our content here in the dead period,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: it gets a little repetitive, and we look forward to
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: actually having good things to talk, like, you know, actual
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: football things to discuss. So I can feel.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You I got you well, I gave the listeners an
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: assignment for the mail back today. You know, they had
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to listen to ITB they had to listen to the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: latest podcast. And then a lot of people ask questions
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: from uh, your latest podcast today? So I see I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: got I got at least fifteen to twenty questions off
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the homework assignment here. So I'm going through my mail
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: bag here of stuff. So are you are you ready
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for the for the Mosher mail bag Wednesday? Football at
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: four today?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: In the words of the great Bart Scott, can't wait.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Bart Scott got laid off yesterday, So easy on him.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Ah man, I didn't realize that. Sorry about that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: For that. Yeah, he will never, never not have that moment. Uh,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: let's say Dave and Cherry Hill, he says, Jeff, you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and Adam talked on ITV about Ty Robinson needing a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: big training camp after last year not producing much as
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a rookie. So, Jeff, what do you think about Ty
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Robinson in twenty twenty six?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's hard to really gauge anything he
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: did a rookie. He didn't play a whole lot. He
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: played in the rest starters game against Washington in Week eighteen,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and he looked like he was a decent player at
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: that point. But you know, you look at the position
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and you've got a lot of guys ahead of You've
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: got Jordan Davis, you have Jalen Carter, you have Moro Jomo,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and really he'll enter camp ty Robinson even behind Byron
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Young as the fifth defensive tackle. So he's a fourth
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: round pick from last year and the odds are in
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: his favor of making it. But the Eagles do have
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to keep They're gonna go heavier at certain positions, I imagine,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: especially if they keep four quarterbacks, which has to work
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: itself out, especially if they're gonna keep ten or eleven
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: offensive linemen, which Howie Roseman has said he he's uh
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: desires to do. And in the secondary, they're going to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: keep some guys, so you can't keep everybody, as we
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: always say, so Ty Robinson really does have to show
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: this camp that he has improved from last year and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: that he would see some time in the rotation and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: be that interior pass rush that hegles like from that position,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: or else he could face the consequence of being cut
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: after his first year. We like to think that Howie
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: will always favor his draft picks and in many cases
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: he does. However, he did cut Colum Cord last year,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: a quarterback, right sixth round pick, but a quarterback. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I believe it was twenty nineteen that the Eagles cut
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a fourth round pick in his first year, and that
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: was Sharif Miller, the defensive end out of Penn State.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: So it's this is his second year for ty Robinson,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and I think guys like Ian mac McWilliams really have
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to show that they they've got some development in them.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: All right, Thanks, Dave, Let's go to Mark and Dell Ran.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: He wants to know, do you guys see anything from
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Keishaan James Newby feels like he has some speed off
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the edge. Is he a guy that could surprise you,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Jeff in this defense this year?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Well, just like we talked with good question Mark, like
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: we talked about out with Tyro Robinson, you know, there's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: so many guys ahead of Kashawn James Newby that it
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter how good he looks at camp. He's not
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: gonna vic Already we talk about all the time. Likes
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a three man edge rotation, so he ain't gonna crack
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the Jonathan Gnnard, Jlex Hunt and Nolan Smith junior rotation,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna see if Vic can get out of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: his comfort zone a little bit to give Arnold E.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Wickhetty some run in that rotation. But I do think
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: that there is an avenue for Keishawn James Newby with
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that speed that Mark mentioned, which I believe is like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: four three four something ridiculous for an edge rusher of
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: his size, right to make the team as a special
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: teams guy, because the Eagles have kept extra an extra edge,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: not to play defense, but to be on special teams.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: It's been Patrick Johnson, it's been kyn Johnson from a
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago. So yeah, the opportunity is there,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: but I can't imagine he's making any kind of impact
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: on the defense unless they have a rash of injuries.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: This one's coming all the way from Westchester, home of
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the former Eagles training camp. Brian must be down the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: shore vacationing from Westchester, says Jeff Jacorey Bennett mc McWilliams.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Both highlighted as bubble guys in the secondary, with Vic
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Fangio wonning versatile, smart defensive backs who could cross train.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Which of these younger corners has the best shot to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: adapt to Fangio's scheme. Now. They traded for Bennett last year,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they drafted Mac McWilliams. Two guys today actually went out
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of their way to target here.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean both of them potentially could have some versatility.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Mac McWilliams, we know, is a guy who can play
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: inside or outside. He has really good speed. He has
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: speed for the outside, but size or height I should
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: say for the inside. But he's also a strong guy.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: And Adam and I talked about maybe there's an opportunity
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: for him to get some looks at safety as that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: big nickel safety that they're all auditioning for between Marcus
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Epps and Michael Carter the second maybe maxim mac McWilliams
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: can get himself into that conversation and really appealed to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Vic by being able to play three different positions Jacorey
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and Bennett. You know, he has inside out versatility. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: can't see him at all as a hybrid you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: safety the way. Maybe Mac McWilliams and honestly, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: they're both facing an uphill battle to make the team,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: but more so Jae Coryan. They traded for him, but
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: they didn't give up a whole lot, and now he's
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: stuck in a crowded corner room. That's got reequialing, It's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: got Quinnon Mitchell, it's got you know, guy mac McWilliams.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: We just brought up. It's got u Killy Ringo. Still,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it's got Judd. Who's the veteran whose name is escaping
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: me right now? Jonathan Jones, Right, Jonathan Jones, who I
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: think is gonna make it as the number one corner
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: off the bench. So the reality is Jacryan Bennett's facing
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a real uphill battle to make the team. McWilliams also,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: but at least McWilliams is a second year drafted player
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: who they might want to give more time to develop
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: at different position.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: All Right, I appreciate you, Brian from Westchester, PA, down
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the shore. I'm assuming anyway, uh football for Kevin from
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Atlantic City. On ITV Adam mentioned Cole was Nowski as
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a potential fourth safety, but he noted that there are
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: questions at the position. How concerned do you think the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: coaching staff is with the safety depth? I think I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: think good I was gonna say, because mcoomba was hurt
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: last year, I think that the concern might be whether
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: or not he can get through a season or what
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that there's there's an overall curiosity. I'll
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: say curiosity over concerned. If there was a concern, I
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: think that there would have been more done this offseason.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Right now, it's a curiosity because as long as mccooba
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: stays healthy and Cooper de gen is playing safety in
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: base defense, which could be thirty twenty five thirty thirty
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: five percent more potentially, then they're all right, you know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: And as long as they like what they see from
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Marcus SEPs and Michael Carter Junior or the second I mean,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: they should be okay too. And if they need a
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: body they can always trade. They can add. You know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: your concern is when you don't have a starter, right
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: or if you've got a struggling defense and that's gonna
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: contribute to it. They have a lot of really good
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: pieces all around. So if if mccouba is healthy and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: de Gene is how healthy and is adapted, fine, then
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a concern. But I do think
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I call it a curiosity because I know the coaches
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: are going to look at how this competition plays out
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: They're gonna look at Michael Carter the second, they're gonna
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: look at Maccuba, They're gonna look at Zowski. They're gonna
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: take a look at this kid, Maximus Pulley, who's a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: rookie free agent who is like a playmaker at Wafford
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: in College, like five six interceptions. He's got some skills. Man,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: he'll be a guy that might be one of those
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: training camp darlings. They're gonna look at his name again,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Maximus Pulley, p U L L e y.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: That's the first on this show, I believe. I don't
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: know that we've heard his name yet.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised because Adam's really bullish on this guy. He
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: might probably mentioned once or twice along the way, just
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: when we were talking about after the draft.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that's thought and Andrew like seventh round undrafted
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: gem right there.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he is certainly someone to watch, and because
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: of the questions that we just talked about, I mean,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I suppose you could make it if he really performs. Well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: there's still Andre Sam So that's the curiosity. Do do
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the coaches feel comfortable with what they have two to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: three weeks in the camp or do they have a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: lot of injuries or do they have lack of performance
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: that feel like they need to make a move and
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: that's when they knock on Howie's door.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: All right, this what is Chris is listed on the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: beach in Wildwood today? How much freedom does the coaching
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: they have actually have to tweak game plans week to week?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Or is nick micro management style set in stone?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I am jealous of Chris sitting on the beach in Wildwood.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: It is on sitting on the beach and Wildwood that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you would come up with that kind of a really
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: open ended question of Nick and how much micromanaging he does.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's happened on offense. We know that,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't say that that's his interference. I think
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: that more so when things weren't working, it was a
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: well we need to default to the things that really worked,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: which is running the ball and stop. You know, back
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: in the Kellen Moore days, let's not have all this
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: crazy motion and misdirection. But if there's one thing that
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: we've said constantly throughout this offseason is that you don't
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: hire Sean mcmannonmannion sorry, as a first time play caller,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: knowing that you failed with two first time play callers
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: before that, if you don't really plan to stick to
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the plan of introducing this new offensive design and scheme
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: and sticking to it, so, you know, I think it's
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a great question because Nick Sirianni's job is always going
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to be on the line. And what happens is six
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: or seven weeks into the season the offense still is
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: clunky because it just hasn't taken yet. Are they patient
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: or do they crumble it all up and throw in
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the trash can? I don't think they do be I
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: think that they're going to have to exercise patients and
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Nick's going to have to let the process see itself out.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Whether or not he's patient enough to do that remains
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to be seen.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: This what's going from a Delaware listener? How about that
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: they're a Delaware I TB Football at four listener. It's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a Greg over there in Delaware. He wants to know, Jeff,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: where do you think the weakness of the defense is?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, Greg, I think I think it's in that safety spot.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: There's no question just the overall depth. It's not again,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: it's not a question about talent. When you have Macouba
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and the Gene there for a lot of your snaps,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: but it is fair to say the Gene's not played safety.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: He did not play safety at at Iowa. He like
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: he went there maybe as one transferred over. He was
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: mostly a corner. Everybody said he had the safety versatility
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: and he did play nickel. He probably lined up with
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: safety in certain packages, but he was not a safety.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: So this will be his first row go round as
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: an NFL safety. And mcooba is a guy who's one
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty nine pounds, right, So although he plays big,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: we already saw him get injured last year, and you
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: know you want to see him stay healthy as long
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: as those two guys are healthy, and not as concerned
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: about a MIC because I think it's a very talented
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: defense all around. But surely if there's not great depth
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: there and any kind of hurt or lack of performance
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: for those two guys could threaten the Eagles at that position.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people have asked the question whether
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: or not they think this defense will be better than
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: last year? Is it more talented than last year?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: That's a tough one because really what you're saying is
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: is Grenard an upgrade over Jaalen Phillips, I don't think.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I think it's about the same. I think Phillips a
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: little bit more of a two way defensive end. But
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Grenard's pretty good. I would say riquel And is enough
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: over adri Jackson, though, and it's gonna change what Vic
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Fangio can do schematically. I think it was nice to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: watch Quinnon Mitchell's shadow other wide receivers, right, but I
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: don't think Vick will have to do that as much
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: this year, which means you don't have you don't think
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: it's a liability to have requeling up against certain guys
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and then you were less predictable. And then it comes
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: down to what I would say is the difference between
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: having n Kobe Dean's just his his cerebral play, his instinctiveness,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: his leadership versus John Campbell, who is ten times the athlete.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Then N Kobe Dean is where is the trade off?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Is it better?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Is it worse? But everybody else is basically gonna be
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: in the same spot.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Uh, you do have a blanket ship not here and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I guess at.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Degene right, So you have Degene, So that could be
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: an upgrade athletic it could be an upgrade, right, better,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: more talented player. When Degene goes into Nickel and then
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: they bring in another, then you have to weigh the
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: EPs or Michael Carter or whoever versus what what blanket
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: ship gave? For sure?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Thanks Greg and Delaware. Let's go to Todd and Vineland, Mo,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Sure what real what's one realistic change in the offensive
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: philosophy you expect to actually see on the field this
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: summer versus what is camp hype?
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Great question? That was Greg?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You said, No, I'm sorry, Todd, Todd and Vineland not
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: all right? I like this question. Island this this weekend.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I was in Violin this weekend.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Intentionally just kidding violent. I'm just kidding. Uh, I've actually
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: been to Violent Shoe so uh No.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: My buddy who lives in Violin told me that asked
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: me if I got my passport stamped when I went
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Ah man, that's rough. I was annoyed because there's apparently
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: a very good sandwich shop, a burger shop called Outlaws
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: in Vineland, and I wasn't. I We went and I
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: was there on a Sunday and they were not open,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: and I think I thought to myself what kind of
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: sandwich shop is not open on a Sunday. You know
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: that's that's a good food service day Saturday and Sunday.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: But I digress. Love is. But anyway, the spirit of
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the question is because Adam and I always talk about
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: throwing to the running back. How we see it all
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the time in training camp, and then the season starts
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: and it's bogus. It never happens like Sakwon Berkley catches
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: maybe one or two passes a game, right, So I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: get it. I think one thing that will be undeniable
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: about the offense this year, and not just a training
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: camp thing, is going under center, lining up with multiple
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: tight ends, running from under center, and then running play
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: action from under center. The Eagles did, they were legles
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: were among the lowest percentage under center play action teams
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: in the NFL both last year and then so far
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: in the Nick Syriana Jalen hurts Era Sirianni hurts Era.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I think there will be a drastic change with those
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: percentages this year. And I don't think that that's something
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that they're going to stop doing after training camp because
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: maybe they don't like what they see or it's taking
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: too much time. That is a staple of what this
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: offense should look like and have.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Uh, we'll get one more in here from
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Sean in Seattle City. What's up Sean? Who is one
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: under the radar player on defense who's not getting talked
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: about right now? Is it Malcolm Pulley?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: What was that guy's name, Maximus Pulley?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: That is school was Maximilian.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: It's a great name. I like Maximus and Maximilian. A
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: guy that we in other than Maximus Pulley might be
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I think might be Michael Carter. The second. I think
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of people think that Marcus EPs, because Vick
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: was very praise worthy of them, is going to win
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: that third safety job. I'm not. I'm not so sure
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: of that. And I would say maybe Arnold A. W.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Kenny.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: You know what, So here's the thing, here's the thing.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Vic likes a three man edge rotation. So it's gonna
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: be to start camp, right, You're gonna it's gonna be Grenard,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be Jill's hunt, and it's going to be
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Nolan Smith junior. Nolan Smith Junior. Yeah, Well, Nolan's not
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: had a great offseason. He had the arrest and all
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: that he was kind of a flash player last year
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: who had the injury missed four weeks, and Ebi Ketty
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: has also been a flash player. So what if one
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: what if eb Kenny's flashing more during camp than Nolan Smith,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: does he get himself ahead of Nolan Smith in the rotation?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just very curious because this is
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: a player the Eagles liked coming out of Penn State
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. They brought him in for
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a visit. Remember he started off at Temple, how he
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: liked him, how he finally got a chance to sign
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: him and he did. So that's a player that I'll
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: have my eyes on.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I like that. And if Ebu Kenny can actually give
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you more than what Usha and o Jalari gave you
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: last year, I mean that would be a positive.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: The key to me is does he show enough to
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: get Vic to expand his rotation, because if he does
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: and Vic does that, that's a that's a feather in
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the cap because Vic's pretty fickle about his three man
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: edge rotation. At least he has been throughout his career
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: and here with the Eagles, to the point where who
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: we all thought like played fairly okay, like as a
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: rotational edge. Last year he was doing fine and once
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: they got Jalen Phillips went straight to the bench like
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: you're not getting on the field. So that's how much
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: of a stickler Vic is. But if Emikenny can carve
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: out a role and make Vic come out of his
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: comfort zone, I think that's a really nice dat.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Like he got like decent four million bucks.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he got four million guaranteed seven overall, four guaranteed,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: which is more than anybody got last year, more than
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: or Ojelari got. So you know Howie Roseman pays that
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: kind of guaranteed money. He wants to see a guy play,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: especially if he's doing well.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see how it all unfolds this time next
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: weekday will be on the field and it will begin
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Eagles training camp. Football at four Inside the Birds. We
• 20:58
