  Speaker 1: of course you can check out all his stuff over

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: he breaks down today over at Philly Voice. You could
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: check that out at Phillyvoice dot com. What are the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: biggest changes we can expect to the Eagles offense? Well,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I think everybody wants to know this. Man, Jeff Mosher
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: broke it all down and he joins us now for
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: today's edition of Football at four All the Sports bats
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: live on ninety seven three ESPN. Most all right, they
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: got a new offensive coordinator from a different scheme and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a different style. Does that do you anticipate the offense
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: looks different? What did you see in your breakdown that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Eagles fans can anticipate what the offense may look like
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: this year?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Big, the same variation of the Eagles offense with just
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: four new coaches, new play caller, a new Well you've
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: heard us.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Before, No, I know, I know, I know.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: This time, I think it's not just the new offensive coordinator, right,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: You're bringing in a couple of other new coaches from
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the same other alternative background, which is the West Coast
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: modernized West Coast offense to help out.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: So it's a pretty clear indication.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: And we did a podcast on this Inside the Birds
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: with Sam Finkel, who is our analytics expert, who this
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: was about a week ago, and I wanted to do
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: a continue it with Philly Voice AND's story form just
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: as of that kind of offense which is under center,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: play action and motion and show what these other teams
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: that the Eagles are getting coaches from, how much of
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: it they used compared to how much of it or
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: how little of it the Eagles were using in their offense.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: And you know, the numbers really spell it out each
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: one that it's a dramatic difference.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess, and we talked about this yesterday on
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the show, and I want to get your opinion on this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, they changed this offense.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: It might be more McVeigh, the lafloor O'Connell McDaniel. This
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is an offense that is very foreign to what the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Eagles have done. Do they have the personnel to run
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that offense? In other words, even down to the offensive line,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: there's blocking schemes. You know, you target different style of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen if you want to run our West Coast
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: offense compared to I don't know what the Eagles have
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: been running. Whose style of offense is that?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Siriani sort of has a lot of different influences. I mean,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: he credits Todd Haley when he was with Kansas City
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: as being a big offensive influence, and Haley was more
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: of the.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: What do you call it, the earn Hart offense Perkins offense.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: From the old days, which is more of an aerial
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: attack than say a timing and rhythm offense.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: But nonetheless, I don't think I don't know if there
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: is like personnel that you have to have. I mean,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I think it helps.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I think, like the reason why there are certain players
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you look at and you say their talents are exploited
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: in certain offenses.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: That might not be in others.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: For example, I think Pukiniku is a great wide receiver,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: would be pretty darn good no matter what offense you
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: put him in.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: But I don't know that he's.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Like almost two thousand yards good in like the Cowboys
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: offense as opposed to the offense that the Rams run,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: where he's reduced with his splits.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: He's constantly in motion, he gets the.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Offense is funneled through the middle of the field, where
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: he really excels and catches a.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Lot of balls.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And then you know, a guy like Brock Purdy and
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Shanahan's offense. Do you think Brock Purty would be a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: great quarterback if he was running a I don't know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: like Josh McDaniels offense. I don't know, you know, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: think that the timing and the rhythm that Purty does
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: well blends well with Shanahan's schemes. And you know, if
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: you had two receivers who were deep ball artists, I
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: guess like kind of like the way if you were.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: If you were put Brock Purty in the Eagles offense,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: That that would be really good.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: He doesn't drive the ball outside the numbers down the field,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: where both Smith and aj Brown really excel so so well.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I do think that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Anybody can fit an offense as long as ab can
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: take the coaching. There are certain players, but I think
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: that the Eagles have versatile and good enough players that
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: should be able to fit any scheme, but to answer,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: to really answer your question, like Saquon Barkley is not
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: someone you think of as a fantastic outside zone runner.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: You don't want him going east and west a lot,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: because he's really good.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: In between the tackles.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: His vision isn't always his greate as strength as opposed
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: to that second level burst. But that doesn't mean that
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Sean Mannion can't cater his run game to what Saquon
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: does best.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Sean McVeigh did that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: He went from outside zone constantly with Todd Gurley to
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: way more of an in tide zone duo between tackles
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: roll with Kyrin Williams. So good coaches they bring to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: their philosophies, but they also we are just their personnel.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously you know you're trying to do
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and maximize. The question is like, you know they've been
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: doing this offense here to try to maximize Jalen Hurts, right,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: That doesn't necessarily mean it has maximized.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: AJ Brown and Devonte Smith.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Correct, correct, And I think A J. Brown would agree
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: with you on that that he feels. You know, he
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: has that famous quote used me.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Don't but don't use me where he caught a touchdown
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: in this game. He in the box score, it looked
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: like he did well, but he was clearly disappointed still
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: in the fact that it's it was the same old
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: offense really, and he wanted you could tell like he
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: wanted to be He wanted the offense to evolve and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: him to his role, to be able to evolve with it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So yesterday, you know, we were breaking down a lot
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of what Aj Brown said to Michael Barson's which was,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes shame is a good thing. Then he
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: went out to give praise to Kevin Bittullo and then
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: finished up with so I'm excited for the season. You
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: can interpret this a lot of ways. As he cooled off,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: does he feel good about the situation? You know, I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: look at it as change is a good thing. We
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: got Sean Manion. I'm happy about that. I don't not
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: like Kevin. He did as well as he could under
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the restraints that you have in that offense. He's out
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and now I'm excited. Do we look at aj and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: say he's now happy and is excited to be here,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: or do we think this is still going to materialize.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't read too much into it. You know, at
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, change is a good thing.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: But you know, aj brand Brown, like all of us,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: couldn't tell you a single thing about Sean Manion's competence
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: as a play caller or a play designer because he's
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: never done it. You know, I might interpret his comments
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: differently if say, Mike McDaniel and Brian Dable was the
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: offensive coordinator or someone was experience. I mean, I couldn't
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: look into it and say, yes, maybe he does welcome
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: at least the philosophical change in what it might bring.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: But I can't be sitting here and be convinced he
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: definitely wants to be a part of the Eagles going
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: forward because he said change is a good thing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I listened.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: He obviously didn't want to talk to media down there,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but he was okay, kind of getting his thoughts out
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to Michael Parsons. And I don't know was he trying
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to portray to the NFL world that hey, I'm cool,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I'd be a good fit for you, or is he
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: trying to portray to the Eagles that he's cool with
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: what they did.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: So I actually watched the whole podcast, I'm not sure
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: if if you saw it all.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I did not know.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I have seen obviously clips, but not the whole thing
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: in its long form.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: His general demeanor throughout the show was to not really
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: be the focal point of it. In fact, he got
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: a great quote from Michael Parsons talking about the you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: the trade that could have been to Philadelphia because he
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: was sort of being the question asker instead of the
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: interview or interview he I should say.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: He I just look at what he said as like,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: how can I get through this show?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: You know, not say anything that's gonna be completely taken
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: out of context.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Or making a headline out of it, and.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Really defer to a conversation with mikeh and Bryce Young.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young was actually very funny in the show and
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: pretty introspective as well.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: But my point was.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: He wasn't really looking to go deep into his answers there,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: so don't read too much into what he was saying.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And it started off like, you know, Mike asked him
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: about something and he just kind of like put his
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: hands in the air like, ah, you know, this is what.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: It is, and you know, he didn't really like expand
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: So I want to get your take and this is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: obviously just an opinion from you. If Aj walked or traded,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: obviously he can't walk, he would have to be traded.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: M H.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: What is DeVante Smith?
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: He's a really good receiver. I mean, I don't I
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: don't think that his role changes a whole lot.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I think, Okay, he's a really good receiver. His role
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: hasn't change. But is their meat on the bone there?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Like do they not get as much as they could
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: from him? Could he be a number one guy? Like
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I look at Jackson Smith and Jigma and look at
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the guy and say, you don't have a lot of help.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I mean there's not like you're like, wow, look at
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: their receiving corps, live at all these weapons. No, it's him.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Could Devonte Smith be the main guy if in fact
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: they let Aj Brown go?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: I mean I think so.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think the point of having one of
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: these modernized West Coast offenses is that you're gonna scheme
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: guys open. Theoretically that's the point anyway, And you don't
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: always have the like you know, the Niners played the.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Entire season without Brandon Ayuk.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: They really didn't have their their X receiver, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: and they still won twelve games. You're not gonna put
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Davonte Smith in AJ's spot and call him the X receiver.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: He's still gonna be a movable piece. He's still going
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: to be someone you want in trips and bunch formations.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: You still want to be able to, you know, scheme
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: him so that he's not getting pressed to the line
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And you may look to bring in someone who's.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Not as good but at least can play the exposition
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: just to be able to run certain routes from that spot,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: whether you're one by.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Three or even two by two.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: But I don't think it really changes who he is
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: as a receiver, or how often he's targeted or how
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: much he's used well.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And I only asked that because maybe the Eagles look
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: at it and see like, hey, we have so much
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: money invested in these wide receivers. We're not getting the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: ROI on these receivers. Look at Seattle, they're not paying
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: any receivers. I know they're gonna have to pay Jackson
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba, But can we design an offense similar
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to what they do where we have one receiver that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: really really good and then we have guys who just
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: have roles.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's that would be interesting. You know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: It's really impressed with the job Klint Kubiak did all
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: year with basically one outstanding player and then role players who's.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Kind of like the home run hitter. Right, it's like, hey,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: we got you.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You're the guy who breaks over the top, Bobo, you're
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the tight end that kind of works to the middle
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of the field. Like you know, they all just kind
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of did what they did well and that's it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Right, And a lot of that is due to how
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: they run their offense.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: They're a downhill under center, workoff play action offense where
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the quarterback proved he could operate in that offense the
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: year before in Minnesota. And then obviously JSN isn't just
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: a good receiver, he's an elite one and that helped
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: me and even the Packers, Mike, you know, they have
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: good receivers, but excuse me, not a guy that you
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: would put top five in the NFL.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: So that's yeah, you're struggling there a little bit. So
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I'll interject for you for a second here. But we
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: talked to Romeo Dobbs at the Super Bowl, and you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: one of the things he told us was expect these
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: receivers to see the.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Ball a lot more.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: One of the things that's unique about Green Bay is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: they don't really have a number one guy, but they
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: have a bud of guys who could be number one
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that day.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, that is true, they do. They have a lot
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: of good guys, not an elite guy.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Although I will say I think Christian Watson like the
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: even though he came back from an injury, the like
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: sort of felt like it came on for him because
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: he played really really well this year for the Packers
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: when he came back. But still not like a Justin
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Jefferson or even an AJ Brown, but pretty close, pretty good.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: But yeah, there should be more usage of the receivers.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: And again it's about scheming them open. It's about creating
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: easy lanes, well defined throws all over the middle of
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the field and everywhere for Jalen Hurts. And you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I think it would benefit the Eagles to to a
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: get a slot receiver, like a natural slot who can
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: work the middle of the field.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: And b if you look at Matt Lafleur, he does
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: things differently too. He'll he's in shotgun a little bit
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: more than say Stafford with the Rams. You know, they
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: they do run the RPO game.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: They've they've adapted the quote unquote mcphaigh offense to what
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: modern offenses also do from a shotgun standpoint, because that's
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: that they've adapted it to fit Jordan Love.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: What is your take, Jeff, I know you guys over
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Inside the Birds and one of your latest podcasts, you
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: kind of have a to do list for the off season.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: How do you view the tight end situation with Goddard
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: being a free agent. I don't know that they entered
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the season wanting to have to pay him bring him back,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I'm looking around that roster. I
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: don't see anybody else what happens with that part of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the to do list.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: And I think, no matter what, you have to invest
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: in young upcoming tight end. You know, I wouldn't slam
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: the door on Dallas Goddter coming back off to see
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: how that goes.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I think he would fit. I have a lot to
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: see what the market is for him.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure everybody will see the eleven touchdowns
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: and be excited about it, but if they go to
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: the tape, they'll see that like six or seven were
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: good red zone scheme touchdowns where it was barely touched.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Also not to take away from him, but no matter what, you've.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Got to have a guy in the works. You know
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: they went.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: They had zach Ertz before Brent Sellick retired. I remember
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: both of them were on the first Super Bowl team.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Then they had Goddard right when zach Ertz was at
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the end and traded him. And they didn't really do
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: a good job of getting somebody to take over for
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: godd or before Goddard was done being an Eagle unless
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: he's back.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: So now you got to get guys.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: And preferably guys who can play the wide position, meaning
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: they can block and catch.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, that's going to be a
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: fascinating one because he's the only free agent on offense
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and this is an offensive struggle that got the guy fired.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: But you're thinking yourself, we got to bring the whole
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: offense back. It almost feels like this is an interesting
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So I was talking about this this morning.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: What is the mandate in the building?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Is it we fired Patullo, we hired Manion and the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: anticipation and that takes us from an eleven win division
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: winning wildcard team to a super Bowl team, or it's
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a whole new system. We're going to be evaluating everybody
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in the system to see who stays and who goes,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: And they justify taking a step back.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think Howie Roseman needs to be taken
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: as word he said that we are an urgency.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: We are in an urgent mode to win now.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: They've got a lot of money invested in a lot
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: of players, good players. They've reached the playoffs five straight times,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: have've been in two Super Bowls one to one. We've
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: still won eleven games even in a bad year. You
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: can you can squint and see how fifteen to twenty
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: percent better offensive output could have got him into the
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: super Bowl again this year. And while they do have
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: to make changes, they've done that before. That doesn't really
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: change the expectations. So to answer your question, the mandate
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: in the building is to get that old, archaic, do
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: nothing offensive game scheme out and usher in the new
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: and get it going and get it going quickly.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Right, because you know, I would anticipate as long as
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: everybody comes back, you are not going to see a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: lot of change on this offense. It's like, hey, you
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: guys are going to get to run it back, but
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: in a completely new system. That is that the feeling
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you're getting.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know you might have a change
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: or two on the offensive line, and of course you
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: know we already talked about tight end and wide receiver,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, I do think that there'll be
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: there'll be some changes on offense. But if you're talking
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: about the pillars of the success like Davonte Smith and
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Lane Johnson, like those guys.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I do think one of the areas where this team,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: if you're going to go to like a you know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: more of a McVeigh style of offense, you've got to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: try to find that third wide receiver.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: That guy has to be a part of the offense.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I agree, you know, and it would help if that
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: guy is a little bit proven, like I know that
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: there were some real nice flashes from Darius Cooper last
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: year in a limited role. Great training camp, and Johnny
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Wilson should come back, and you know, I do wonder
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: a guy like that who's six foot six and if
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: you can get him in some space or you know,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: oriented offense, could he do some things after the catch?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Could he uses you could be a good red zone target?
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: But the bottom line is yeah, I.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Mean, especially if you're not bringing aj Brown back for
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: whatever reason you need, like likea Dobbs who is a
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: fre free agent, I.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Believe you need.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: It would really helpe to have a guy who's played
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: in that system, has proven to perform in that system,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: and can come in and make an impact right away.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bosher from the Inside the Birds podcasts A very
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: interesting off season ahead NFL free agency, the legal tampering.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: March then ninth, we are less than one month away
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: from when players can start changing teams. Jeff Boscher, I'll
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: ask you which free agent is the most interesting story
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to you?
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Is it Goddard?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Is it Jalen Phillips, Is it Nacobe Dean? Does it
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: read blanket ship or somebody else?
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Man? March ninth, that's the day Biggie died.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Just hit me ros how about that? That's good memory
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: by it?
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, I would say the Nakobe Dean free agencies
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: going to be even though it feels like a four
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: actually all mend that.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I think Jalen Phillips, that one's going to be very
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: very interesting to me.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I do I agree with the Phillips because I'll break
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: it down this way. They brought Phillips in, so they
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: obviously felt they needed a top, higher.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Tier pass rusher.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Last year, a lot of speculation of Miles Garrett and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson, and.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: They never went down that road. They stuck with what
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: they had.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: But then they made the trade for Phillips, Diddy it
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: was enough to bring him back?
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Or do they now go bigger this time around? Well?
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: What are the ramifications of not bringing him back?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Because you know, then basically you've got Jallex Hunt, who
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I think could take another step.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, he can be your best edge rusher.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: But if you didn't bring back Jalen Phillips, you've got
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Jelex Hunt, Nolan Smith, and Brandon Graham.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Is that enough?
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: No?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why I said, do they bring Jalen Phillips
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: back or do they target someone even bigger? Uh?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: No?
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, you give up a third round pick for
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: that guy and he fits your system to a t.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: He's played for your defensive coordinator.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: You know, he didn't play great in the wild card game,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: but overall he played well enough that you think another
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: year bring him in. Have Hunt continue to and Smith
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: continue that it's a good You got a good rotation there, all.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Right, we'll keep an eye on that one.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Read Blanket Chip's gonna be interesting because, as we know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: coaches like to go someplace and bring guys with them.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: We see it all the time.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: John Ganning goes to Arizona, he brings Josh Sweat with him,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: brings CAUSEI or White with him, just so he has
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: some comfort. Christian Parker says, hey, I'm new here. Let
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: me get a guy who knows my system pretty well.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: So that could be one team could read Blanketship end
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: up with Christian Parker, could na Kobe Dean end up
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: in Dallas. That would be something to keep an eye on, too, right,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it would be.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Now, the history of these guys of Eagles becoming cowboys
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: and cowboys becoming Eagles is not good.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: It's not good at all.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Like we could go through a lot of names, from
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Orlando Scandric to DeMarco Murray.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: To who else.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: There was another there was another Eagle cowboy that didn't
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: work out for them.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: I remember Miles.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Austin switch teams, you know there you go.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but Miles Austin came in here and didn't really
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: perform in the Chip Kelly era. I feel like there's
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: another guy who went to the Cowboys from the Eagles
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: who just didn't pan out either.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: So I don't know, it's it's a tough one.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Well, that would be interesting more storylines to keep an
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: eye on March night that all begins the legal tampering
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: in football. At four, we'll have you right here on
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the sports betch most I'm going away for a while.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to you in March.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Enjoy Egypt, my friend.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Shukran Shukron, that is thank you in Egyptian.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought we were gonna have to fight for
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Arabic that is thank you and Arabic
