Latest / Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast / The DiCecco Daily: What Will Be The Key To Eagles Offensive Success In 2026?
Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody?
- 0:10Speaker 2: Welcome into another episode of The Checko Daily. It's Andrew
- 0:13Speaker 2: de Checko here, Eagles beat reporter for insidethebirds dot Com,
- 0:17Speaker 2: and the podcast continue to churn on. Even though this
- 0:21Speaker 2: is considered to be the dead zone as it pertains
- 0:24Speaker 2: to the NFL calendar, there's still plenty of things to
- 0:26Speaker 2: get into regarding the Philadelphia Eagles, and I want to
- 0:29Speaker 2: spend some time today talking about what I perceive to
- 0:32Speaker 2: be the key to the Eagles offense in twenty twenty six.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Now, it shouldn't.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Be perceived as a revelation and it's not breaking news,
- 0:42Speaker 2: but the Eagles offensive line is going to be key
- 0:47Speaker 2: if this offense is going to really take flight this season. Now, understandably,
- 0:53Speaker 2: a lot of the conversation I imagine stems from the newness
- 0:59Speaker 2: of the offense.
- 1:00Speaker 1: How is it going to look as Sean.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Mannion installs his new scheme, which of course is a
- 1:06Speaker 2: drastic departure from what the Eagles have done in the past.
- 1:09Speaker 2: There's the passing game woes from last season. In the
- 1:13Speaker 2: season prior that has been a big topic of conversation.
- 1:17Speaker 2: What's that ultimately going to look like? How will Jay
- 1:19Speaker 2: when Hurts be able to adapt to yet another offensive
- 1:22Speaker 2: coordinator and yet another well this is I shouldn't say
- 1:25Speaker 2: another this schematic change, which is a stark contrast to
- 1:30Speaker 2: what they've done under him. But it all is going
- 1:33Speaker 2: to be dependent upon the health of the offensive line.
- 1:36Speaker 2: For the running game to get back on track, for
- 1:39Speaker 2: the passing game to really flourish, the Eagles have to
- 1:42Speaker 2: have a healthy offensive line, which, as we've seen, when
- 1:47Speaker 2: they are, they're among the league's best, might even be
- 1:51Speaker 2: the league's best. That's all subjective, but I think it
- 1:54Speaker 2: was really relevant. Hearing from center Cam Jurgens last week,
- 1:58Speaker 2: hearing from right tackle Lane Johnson week, Both players, needless
- 2:02Speaker 2: to say, are going to be key to getting this
- 2:05Speaker 2: offense back to where.
- 2:06Speaker 1: It needs to be.
- 2:07Speaker 2: But you could just see the eagerness and the excitement
- 2:11Speaker 2: and optimism surrounding this offense.
- 2:13Speaker 1: They also seem to be just.
- 2:16Speaker 2: A whole lot more healthy than they were last season,
- 2:18Speaker 2: which obviously is going to present you know, it presented
- 2:24Speaker 2: in the fact that they seemed a lot more, a
- 2:26Speaker 2: lot happier, a lot just a lot more eager and anticipate,
- 2:31Speaker 2: anticipating what's ahead with this offense, and that really came
- 2:34Speaker 2: across when you listen to them in their press conferences
- 2:37Speaker 2: and for Cam Jurgons, and I'm not going to bore
- 2:40Speaker 2: you or get into some of these lengthier quotes, but
- 2:43Speaker 2: I think it's important to get into because it does
- 2:45Speaker 2: provide a lot of context. Cam Jurgens of course went
- 2:49Speaker 2: to medin for stem cell treatment, and mind you, last season.
- 2:55Speaker 1: He never really had an offseason.
- 2:57Speaker 2: He had offseason back surgery after the Super Bowl, and
- 3:00Speaker 2: that takes a lot of time to revert back to
- 3:03Speaker 2: your previous form. And working in his favor is that
- 3:06Speaker 2: he is a younger player. He is exhausting all options
- 3:09Speaker 2: to ensure that he's going to enter training camp and
- 3:13Speaker 2: if you're an Eagles fan, hopefully the regular season as.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Healthy as possible.
- 3:18Speaker 2: But he spoke for the first time about the stem
- 3:20Speaker 2: cell treatment, and some of what he had to say
- 3:23Speaker 2: was when you go through a season, you get a
- 3:25Speaker 2: lot of wear and tear, and that's kind of how
- 3:27Speaker 2: the NFL is. And it's always tough going in after
- 3:30Speaker 2: the Super Bowl getting back surgery and you don't really
- 3:33Speaker 2: get that off season.
- 3:34Speaker 1: That's always a tough thing.
- 3:35Speaker 2: When you get surgery, it's like you don't get an
- 3:37Speaker 2: off season and you're just rehabbing, and then you're going
- 3:40Speaker 2: right into the next season and then you're trying to rehab,
- 3:42Speaker 2: you're trying to.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Get through things. But he also said, I play in
- 3:47Speaker 1: the NFL.
- 3:48Speaker 2: They pay me money, and so I'm going to do
- 3:50Speaker 2: everything I can to get my body right.
- 3:52Speaker 1: You know, though, that's a great option for us.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Talk to a lot of guys around the league, and
- 3:57Speaker 2: so many people have used stem cells, and I've noticed
- 4:00Speaker 2: such a good change since I've been down there, and
- 4:04Speaker 2: you can see it. And again they're not in full pads,
- 4:07Speaker 2: but in terms of his movement and mobility and just
- 4:10Speaker 2: the burst that he's playing with. You can see it
- 4:13Speaker 2: in the way that Cam Jurgens is sort of operating
- 4:17Speaker 2: and functioning right now, at least in the.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Practices open to reporters.
- 4:20Speaker 2: And then when you hear him at the podium, he
- 4:23Speaker 2: seems just a lot happier and that he's in a
- 4:27Speaker 2: good place from a health standpoint. And we'll learn more
- 4:31Speaker 2: in training camp when you're a little bit more prone
- 4:36Speaker 2: to the wear and tear, you're combating defensive linemen and
- 4:41Speaker 2: things ramp up a little bit in terms of intensity.
- 4:44Speaker 2: But I think that that was important to note for
- 4:47Speaker 2: Cam and you have to commend him for doing whatever
- 4:50Speaker 2: he can possibly do to try to maximize his health.
- 4:55Speaker 1: And he talked about he said, stems have.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Been around, have been going on for a long time. Now,
- 5:03Speaker 2: I'm not the first one, won't be the last one.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Just a case, a lot of good cases. People going
- 5:08Speaker 2: down there and saying it helps me heal, it's going
- 5:11Speaker 2: to help you get into a better position. You know,
- 5:14Speaker 2: we're paid a lot of money to do our job
- 5:16Speaker 2: and we have to use all the resources we can.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Watching Cam Jurgens last season, it wasn't a talent drop off.
- 5:23Speaker 2: He didn't have an anomaly type of season in twenty
- 5:26Speaker 2: twenty four. He's a good football player who was clearly
- 5:28Speaker 2: hampered by the off season back surgery that he just
- 5:33Speaker 2: never was able to round back into form, and you
- 5:36Speaker 2: saw it manifest in losing battles at the line of
- 5:40Speaker 2: scrimmage that he doesn't typically lose, and it looked like
- 5:43Speaker 2: it inhibited the Eagles' ability to do some of the
- 5:45Speaker 2: things they wanted to do offensively. Now at full strength,
- 5:48Speaker 2: Cam Jurgens is an athletic center, someone who can really
- 5:52Speaker 2: in theory thrive in Sean Mannion's scheme. Under Chris Cooper,
- 5:57Speaker 2: they're going to be a lot more wide zone concept,
- 5:59Speaker 2: which you're going to take advantage of the athleticism and
- 6:02Speaker 2: fluidity of these offensive linemen moving laterally, stretching defenses horizontally
- 6:07Speaker 2: and being able to climb to the second level. So
- 6:10Speaker 2: movement and having that springiness that he had in twenty
- 6:13Speaker 2: twenty four is going to be paramount for this offense
- 6:17Speaker 2: to be able to fully imagine what they're looking to
- 6:21Speaker 2: accomplish here under Seawan Mannion.
- 6:24Speaker 1: And then he cam spoke.
- 6:26Speaker 2: About what he noticed that he's able to do now
- 6:29Speaker 2: since getting the treatment, and kind of like I was
- 6:32Speaker 2: alluding to, he said, it's hard to tell with the
- 6:34Speaker 2: treatment if it helps or doesn't.
- 6:35Speaker 1: But like at the same time, we're getting.
- 6:37Speaker 2: So much time off and we get a full off
- 6:39Speaker 2: season to train and prepare, so it's like I can't
- 6:42Speaker 2: pinpoint everything. I'm doing so many different things all over
- 6:45Speaker 2: the place to help my body and just get in
- 6:47Speaker 2: a good spot for this next season, So I can't
- 6:49Speaker 2: pinpoint everything. So I can't pinpoint anything. But it's just
- 6:55Speaker 2: pain has gone down, you know, daily living, quality of
- 6:57Speaker 2: life is better, but that's what you expect from an.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Off season, and he said that he likes the system.
- 7:05Speaker 2: He talked about that a lot of teams run it
- 7:07Speaker 2: and it lets you be more of an athlete, which
- 7:11Speaker 2: I think will really cater to Cam Jurgen's skill set.
- 7:15Speaker 2: But you know they're just doing it really is and
- 7:18Speaker 2: he said this, it's more of a walkthrough in the spring,
- 7:21Speaker 2: which is why you can never fully read too much
- 7:23Speaker 2: into spring practices. But what I can tell you and
- 7:26Speaker 2: what I tend to look for in spring practices or
- 7:30Speaker 2: how are players moving, how are they returning from injury,
- 7:33Speaker 2: and you kind of get a little bit of a
- 7:35Speaker 2: sense for where they are from a health perspective going
- 7:38Speaker 2: into training camp. And he looks a lot different than
- 7:40Speaker 2: he did last spring when he was clearly working through
- 7:44Speaker 2: some things. In fact, if I remember correctly, I don't
- 7:46Speaker 2: even know if he was. He clearly wasn't participating last
- 7:49Speaker 2: spring as he was mending from.
- 7:51Speaker 1: The back surgery.
- 7:53Speaker 2: So he's clearly in a better spot from a health standpoint.
- 7:57Speaker 2: We'll see where it goes from here. But he said
- 7:59Speaker 2: a lot of really good things. And then when he
- 8:01Speaker 2: was talking about offensive line coach Chris Cooper, and I
- 8:04Speaker 2: think right now, And I know that it's easy to
- 8:07Speaker 2: be infatuated with everything right now, and there's always going
- 8:11Speaker 2: to be a lot of optimism at this stage of
- 8:13Speaker 2: the offseason. But just seeing the way Chris Cooper sort
- 8:17Speaker 2: of operates and conducts his practices and the vision that
- 8:22Speaker 2: he has for his offensive lineman he played the game before.
- 8:25Speaker 2: I thought what Cam Jurgens had a lot had to
- 8:27Speaker 2: say about Chris Cooper was sort of almost in lockstep
- 8:29Speaker 2: with what Lane Johnson had to say about him, and
- 8:32Speaker 2: he said he's really enjoying it. And it's a different
- 8:35Speaker 2: room obviously, you know, came here with Stout, learns so
- 8:38Speaker 2: much from him, and now Coop's here. And it's interesting
- 8:41Speaker 2: going from Stout to Coop because Cooper is a former
- 8:43Speaker 2: player and so he sat in this seat and he's
- 8:45Speaker 2: been where we have been and has gone through a
- 8:48Speaker 2: lot of stuff that we have. So it's just a
- 8:50Speaker 2: different vantage point and it's a whole different scheme. So
- 8:53Speaker 2: it's fun learning new techniques and new ways to do things,
- 8:56Speaker 2: and I've had a great time learning it so far.
- 8:59Speaker 2: A lot of good there from Cam Jurgens, and I
- 9:01Speaker 2: thought that that was one of the more interesting press
- 9:03Speaker 2: conferences of the spring session, because he is going to
- 9:07Speaker 2: be key for this offense to be fully realized.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Through the vision of Sean Mannion.
- 9:14Speaker 2: So that was sort of some of my takeaways, and
- 9:17Speaker 2: I read for you some quotes there about Cam Jurgens.
- 9:20Speaker 2: But I also want to now flip back to something
- 9:22Speaker 2: that I talked about last week where I mentioned Lane Johnson.
- 9:25Speaker 2: I talk about how Cam Jurgens is going to be key, well,
- 9:28Speaker 2: so will Lane Johnson. And we didn't hear from Landon
- 9:31Speaker 2: Dickerson during the spring practices, and I imagine we will fairly.
- 9:37Speaker 2: I imagine it would be somewhat early into the training
- 9:39Speaker 2: camp period, but he's another player that you can certainly
- 9:42Speaker 2: make a case for. But Lane Johnson, it's important to
- 9:45Speaker 2: note that before he got injured, he was still playing
- 9:48Speaker 2: at a very high level, so one can presume that
- 9:53Speaker 2: if all is well in terms of health, Lane Johnson
- 9:57Speaker 2: should be able to kind of go back out there
- 9:59Speaker 2: and be the player he was last season and really
- 10:02Speaker 2: through the entirety of his career. He's a little bit
- 10:05Speaker 2: advanced in terms of age and offensive tackle you know,
- 10:09Speaker 2: in terms of offensive tackles as well, but he takes
- 10:12Speaker 2: care of himself he is a tireless worker when it
- 10:15Speaker 2: comes to off season workouts, so.
- 10:20Speaker 1: As long as he's full.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Strength, adding a healthy Lane Johnson and getting Cam Jurgens
- 10:26Speaker 2: back into the mix being at well, you're never going
- 10:30Speaker 2: to be at full strength, but as close as you
- 10:31Speaker 2: can possibly be. You're never at full strength when you
- 10:34Speaker 2: play in the NFL. There's always going to be bumps
- 10:36Speaker 2: and bruises. But clearly they were both They both suffered
- 10:39Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of pain. They want They
- 10:41Speaker 2: battled through a lot of pain, and I think it's
- 10:43Speaker 2: also worth reiterating that both players battled off season. For Lane,
- 10:49Speaker 2: he went until he couldn't win. The injury shelved them
- 10:52Speaker 2: for the remainder of the year. But Cam Jurgens and
- 10:55Speaker 2: Landon Dickerson, those guys were were warriors in the way
- 10:59Speaker 2: that they were able to battle through a lot of
- 11:04Speaker 2: pain that they were going through on a weekly basis,
- 11:07Speaker 2: doing whatever they had to do throughout the week to
- 11:09Speaker 2: ensure they were out there for their teammates. Was the
- 11:12Speaker 2: product good enough from an offensive perspective, No, it clearly wasn't.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Otherwise the Eagles wouldn't be undergoing pretty significant changes on
- 11:20Speaker 2: the offensive side.
- 11:21Speaker 1: But they didn't.
- 11:23Speaker 2: There's no talent drop off here. These are the same
- 11:25Speaker 2: players that were part of a historic offensive line in
- 11:30Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. The key here is obviously going to
- 11:33Speaker 2: be health and sustaining that health and doing whatever you
- 11:36Speaker 2: can to ensure that.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Some of those issues don't surface again.
- 11:41Speaker 2: But and I read some of what Lane Johnson had
- 11:44Speaker 2: to say last week, but he spoke about we'll talk
- 11:49Speaker 2: more here about the process and Chris Cooper, and he
- 11:54Speaker 2: said again the playing experience. He talked to players at Minnesota,
- 11:58Speaker 2: namely Brian O'Neill, who's one of their offensive lineman. Dallas
- 12:01Speaker 2: Goddard mentioned Brian O'Neal as well, so there seems to
- 12:04Speaker 2: be a little bit of a connection there. But Brian
- 12:07Speaker 2: O'Neal said that Chris Cooper was his favorite offensive line
- 12:09Speaker 2: coach that he's had since he's been in the NFL.
- 12:12Speaker 2: So he said it didn't take him long to realize
- 12:15Speaker 2: what kind of teacher he was in the classroom and
- 12:18Speaker 2: even some of the remote stuff that he was that
- 12:20Speaker 2: Lane was doing on Zoom. Great teacher, as Lane said,
- 12:24Speaker 2: so he knows how you know, being a player to
- 12:26Speaker 2: apply the communication aspect, which Lane believes is really good,
- 12:30Speaker 2: and he just believes that the system is going to
- 12:33Speaker 2: be more efficient for them, and I think it will.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Lane talked about now getting guard help for the first
- 12:38Speaker 2: time in his career, whereas for years it's just been
- 12:42Speaker 2: a monoy mono one on one battle. So now if
- 12:45Speaker 2: he loses a matchup, he'll have a guard there to
- 12:48Speaker 2: help him out. But I think that this new system,
- 12:51Speaker 2: which is going to really prioritize and emphasize athleticism and
- 12:55Speaker 2: movement ability from the offensive line, really is going to
- 12:59Speaker 2: cater to the sh strengths of the players that the
- 13:01Speaker 2: Eagles have, and it could be key in unlocking a
- 13:05Speaker 2: crucial element to this offense, which I know that there's
- 13:08Speaker 2: a lot made about the passing game, but I think
- 13:10Speaker 2: this is.
- 13:10Speaker 1: All going to be and revolve around the running game.
- 13:13Speaker 2: So I do foresee a big season from Saquon Barkley,
- 13:17Speaker 2: and obviously that's going to be predicated on the players
- 13:20Speaker 2: blocking up front. But he talked about the injuries from
- 13:24Speaker 2: last season. He said, other than last year, I had
- 13:26Speaker 2: a stinger. Other than that, I felt fine. It was
- 13:29Speaker 2: really the first play versus Detroit last year he went
- 13:33Speaker 2: to power step and tried to anchor he felt his
- 13:36Speaker 2: foot pop and he thought it was plantar fasciitis in
- 13:39Speaker 2: his foot. Then after the next series, he said, he
- 13:41Speaker 2: took a bull rush from Aiden Hutchinson and I couldn't
- 13:43Speaker 2: anchor and I was like, something's wrong.
- 13:45Speaker 1: It was a blow to me.
- 13:47Speaker 2: I was having a great year, which I absolutely agree with,
- 13:50Speaker 2: and he said, I felt like we were at a
- 13:52Speaker 2: point in the season where we were starting to make
- 13:54Speaker 2: a turn, have the ability to do more, but when
- 13:56Speaker 2: it came down to this, it took so much time.
- 14:00Speaker 1: It took a lot of rehab.
- 14:01Speaker 2: And then he also mentioned talking to the likes of
- 14:04Speaker 2: Zach Vonn and The Kobe, who.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Both suffered similar injuries in the past.
- 14:11Speaker 2: He also spoke about why he doesn't believe the offense
- 14:13Speaker 2: will be stagnant relative to what we all saw last season,
- 14:18Speaker 2: and he said, it's just different points.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Of emphasis run game.
- 14:20Speaker 2: You have the ability to stretch it front side, but
- 14:23Speaker 2: also the running back has the ability to read backside
- 14:25Speaker 2: blocks more than maybe what we did in previous years.
- 14:28Speaker 2: I just think for us really does a good job
- 14:32Speaker 2: talking about the offense, It really does a good job
- 14:33Speaker 2: of allowing us to run. We have a lot of
- 14:35Speaker 2: athletic guys up front, so being able to stretch the field,
- 14:38Speaker 2: make the dtackles run, make the linebackers run, cover all
- 14:41Speaker 2: this ground, and then setting up with the play action.
- 14:44Speaker 2: It's going to be a whole lot tougher to distinguish
- 14:46Speaker 2: what we're doing and a whole lot harder to catch
- 14:49Speaker 2: on tells with stuff so we can disguise it more.
- 14:52Speaker 2: I've watched this system, Kubiak Shanahan style of offense from Afar,
- 14:56Speaker 2: and I've always envied wanting to be a part of it.
- 14:59Speaker 2: So here I am, for all these years getting that chance.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Not to say we're going to be better, but there's
- 15:04Speaker 2: a lot to learn. I think we have the ability
- 15:06Speaker 2: to be a lot more than what we were last year.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Hey, Philly fans, game day is stressful enough. Parking, traffic,
- 15:14Speaker 3: long lines, We've all been there, But when it comes
- 15:17Speaker 3: to your cannabis, Camden Apothecary makes it easy. This is
- 15:21Speaker 3: the dispensary for sports fans, just minutes outside of Philly,

- 16:05Speaker 3: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans. Twenty
- 16:08Speaker 3: one and.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Up spoke glowingly about offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, which is
- 16:14Speaker 2: a common theme. If you listen to any of the
- 16:16Speaker 2: prominent offensive voices, there's a lot of excitement. There's a
- 16:20Speaker 2: lot of anticipation for what this scheme will bring. And
- 16:23Speaker 2: so when you hear someone like Lane Johnson, who when
- 16:27Speaker 2: he speaks, it's wise to listen to what he has
- 16:29Speaker 2: to say because he doesn't say anything just to fill space.
- 16:34Speaker 2: There's not hollow praise or anything like that. When you
- 16:36Speaker 2: hear almost a veteran like that almost sound reinvigorated, that
- 16:43Speaker 2: should really instill some confidence with what the Eagles have
- 16:47Speaker 2: on tap.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Moving forward.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Now, there's a lot that has to happen between now
- 16:51Speaker 2: and the start of the regular season. But the key
- 16:54Speaker 2: to everything, before you get to the passing game and
- 16:56Speaker 2: the running game, it stems from what the Eagles are
- 16:59Speaker 2: going to get upfront from the offensive line, and what
- 17:02Speaker 2: we were able to learn during spring practices suggests that
- 17:06Speaker 2: they are on the right track. And you don't often
- 17:09Speaker 2: hear or see just the just the excitement and how
- 17:16Speaker 2: much they're looking forward to seeing what's ahead and what
- 17:19Speaker 2: this offense can provide and and the you know, from
- 17:24Speaker 2: my perspective, you're not going to see it become as
- 17:27Speaker 2: predictable as it was last season. Now, a lot of
- 17:30Speaker 2: that predictability was derived from the Eagles continuously being behind
- 17:34Speaker 2: the sticks. That can't happen or they will be predictable
- 17:37Speaker 2: once again.
- 17:38Speaker 1: But I think right now.
- 17:40Speaker 2: When you're looking at the key to the Eagle success
- 17:42Speaker 2: here from an offensive perspective, it is all revolving around
- 17:47Speaker 2: the offensive line, and if they are able to get
- 17:50Speaker 2: to September and it was close to full strength as
- 17:54Speaker 2: possible with that starting lineup, I think you're going to
- 17:57Speaker 2: see them still be able to drive defenders off the ball.
- 18:02Speaker 2: You're gonna see them be able to do some unique
- 18:03Speaker 2: things in terms of their movement and really stretching teams
- 18:07Speaker 2: and putting a unique emphasis on their athleticism. And then
- 18:11Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley, who I've talked a lot about this offseason.
- 18:15Speaker 2: I don't think he lost a step at all. I
- 18:16Speaker 2: think a lot of what he was trying to do
- 18:18Speaker 2: last season was, you know, was sort of a byproduct
- 18:25Speaker 2: of running lanes not being there like they were in
- 18:27Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and he was trying to make something happen.
- 18:31Speaker 2: And sometimes when you do that, you find yourself pressing,
- 18:33Speaker 2: whether you realize it or not. And it looked a
- 18:35Speaker 2: lot like Saquon was pressing trying to hit the home
- 18:38Speaker 2: run rather than take the three or four yards in
- 18:40Speaker 2: front of him. But but now there's you know, it's
- 18:44Speaker 2: a new season, so we'll see, we'll see what happens there.
- 18:48Speaker 2: But I kind of wanted to put now that I
- 18:50Speaker 2: have some time, put everything into context here. You're gonna
- 18:53Speaker 2: hear you're gonna probably wonder about the running game, You're
- 18:57Speaker 2: gonna wonder about the passing game, you're gonna wonder about
- 18:59Speaker 2: how they're able to marry the two, but none of
- 19:02Speaker 2: that matters if you don't have a healthy offensive line,
- 19:04Speaker 2: because as we saw last season, you can have all.
- 19:07Speaker 1: The talent in the world.
- 19:09Speaker 2: They ran a similar scheme to what they've done in
- 19:10Speaker 2: the past, but the results weren't there. Why because they
- 19:13Speaker 2: didn't have all world talent healthy and available and able
- 19:17Speaker 2: to operate at peak efficiency. So that seems, at least
- 19:21Speaker 2: right now, that that's going to be a change for
- 19:24Speaker 2: the better for the Philadelphia Eagles. But just sort of
- 19:27Speaker 2: my Monday musing here. We'll have plenty more in the
- 19:30Speaker 2: coming days and weeks, of course, right here on Inside
- 19:32Speaker 2: the Birds and on The Checko Daily, But for now,
- 19:35Speaker 2: that's going to do it for this episode of The
- 19:37Speaker 2: Checho Daily.
- 19:38Speaker 1: I'm Andrew de Checko.
- 19:39Speaker 2: We'll catch you all on the next one.
