  Speaker 1: in the place and it's gonna tell us the latest
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: from joint practices with the Patriots today. A lot of
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: extracurriculars on the fields today. See Kwon Barkley was pretty
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: mad about that. Actually, he did not like it at all.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Joy Maya Alta said there was too much boxing nine
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of football today and Adam kaplan is back with us
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: for football on four power by the Inside the Birds

  Speaker 1: podcast like subscribing Dell and where we get your podcasts, Adam,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: how's it going good? Yeah?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: What it was, Josh. There was some pushing and it
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: was a little it was actually a little bit hotter today,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit more humid. So yeah, when it happens,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: tepparth flair a little bit, it's totally understandable. It's funny.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I was talking about when the Patriots who said that
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you can't do this, He's like, we did real well yesterday.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: We don't need to have it. We don't that's so show.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We need to actually practice again like this. But they did.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit shorter today. By the way,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the Eagles individual period was actually on their own on
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a on a lower field, so they didn't really get
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to start with a joint part of it until twenty
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: minutes in, and they actually had a like ten to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes early. But at Chris practice it was more
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: situational red zone goal line. Hollywood Brown was the start
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: of their passing game. In terms of the receivers, Eagles
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: were down a lot of a lot of receivers day.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: They were down four or five of them rest and injuries,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: so Hollywood Brown had to be the manadate. He had
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a good day. Started number thirteen. Dontavian Whips.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Give me hit on a Hollywood Brown for a minute, quick, guy,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: because you know, this is a guy who they gave
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: five million dollars to and he is somebody who people
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: thought coming in who could have a role in this offense.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So it feels like, you know, maybe today was the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: day that he you know, for lack of a better term,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: saved his role in the offense.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Well, look, he's gonna be on the team. They don't
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: they guarantee the five million Josh, oh, he's gonna be here.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But the thing that we don't understand is why they
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: don't throw the ball down field to him like Qus Watkins. Okay,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: he's had a get a couple of nine routes the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: last couple of days. So now Elijah Moore, there was
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a bus that covered yesterday and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the Moore caught it. Hearts hit him. It's wide open
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: hit him. But yeah, I don't know, but it was
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: interesting because Johnny Wilson, Johnny Wilson, stop practicing. Lemon's not practicing,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Smidty's not practicing. Rogimore got the day off today, so
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you're you're running out of guys. And the one veteran
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: they had in addition to Wicks was Hollywood Brown, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: he hurts had a beautiful pass from from the fifteen
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: yard line. He just absolutely rifled throw the cornerbacks. The
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: cornerback didn't see it because he had his back turned
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: to it and he saw what the leverage was and
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a great concentration for Hollywood Brown to get his feed
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in right, or you would have hit the golfpost like
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it was a tighter. The only way you could hit
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: him is it actually had to be perfect with no chance.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Hollywood Brown is very active today, no doubt today.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Jordan Mailata yesterday Lean Johnson both made comments Adam about
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: how the offensive line, you know, basically needs to clean
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: things up a little bit more to help the offense
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: stay on times, stay on track. Was that something that
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you've observed the last two days that you know, the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: offensive line has kind of led to maybe some of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the inaccuracies on the offense.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say the run blocking for the most part,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: was really good yesterday. But passpro they gave up pressures,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: no doubt. Now again, you can't hit the quarterbacks, so
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: they don't. They they rarely blow place dead because they
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: let they they let the plate go through because if
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you call the play dead, you will not be as
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: much offense because you want you want to progress. But yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I understand what those guys are saying. I totally get that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But good work for the backups. The backups got plenty
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of work starters who obviously not going to play in
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the preseason. And and look we're two days out. By
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the way, the game is Saturday night. Uh, and they
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: don't have to travel very far. I was told Eagles
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to stay like two miles away, so uh, yeah, it
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: was it was talking to them. It was they felt
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: like overall they got really good work. Uh tell me
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the Patriots, they felt that they got really good work.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: And they look, they know Sirianni. They they they've had
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: work with him before, so they know it and it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it's good stuff. And uh, yesterday is a little bit
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I would say it was a little bit humble, humbling
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: for their secondary Josh, I should say, but they really
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: bounced back much better today.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Adam gappl enjoining us live from Foxborough, where the Eagles
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: finished day two of joint practice during this year for
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: football and for powered by the Inside the Birds podcast
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Inside the Birds dot Com Josh Any Filly for Mike
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Gill on a Thursday edition of The Bash on nice
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of a three ESPN, Adam, before we moved to the defense,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: were there any other big takeaways or any other highlights
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that you had from day two joint practices for the offense.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Offensively, Will Shipley continues to look good. He's he's had
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a really good two days. I like the screen game.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I'm pleasantly surprised, but as we really say, we can't
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: promise you anything we learned. What's the Jashuart Swift situation
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: three years. It's all what you see is maybe not
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: what you get. That's exactly what happened. Swift was used
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a ton in the in training camp practices, and then
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not being used at all pretty much in the
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: screen game or the passing game. So but Chipley's coming on.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Oh by the way, Shipley, Shipley looks like he's gonna
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: have a real shot to do their kickoff attorney. He's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: got a lot of work as they're kickoff returning in
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: these practices.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting development to keep an eye on Adam
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: putting over to the defense. You know, obviously there's a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: bit a lot of talk on social media, but AJ
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Brown versus the Burrs defense, So what was Day two
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like in that matchup?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they did better against some AJ abuse them yesterday.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: There's no questions heat And it's funny. I'm told that
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the Patriots absolutely did not game plan. They didn't try
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to go after Woolan. They just they rather offense like
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: they normally would in any practice, and they just had
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: tremendous success a against Wolan and over the middle. Be
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: it what you want now, because they didn't do a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: lot of full team stuff like did yesterday. You didn't
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: feel a lot of that today, so it was a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: little bit different. But the secondary is better, no doubt.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: There was a play like we don't get the you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you can't go bout with your eyes show you. There
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: was one play where Wollan had really good coverage. Drake
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: May kind of threw it for two defenders and one
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of them was Wolling. Well, I don't think Waling sail
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the ball and Romeo Dobbs kept his feed and I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: don't know how he did it. It was a great
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: bro no though they I thought they readout it much
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: better today. But again not a lot of full team stuff.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: They didn't do a lot of that today.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Can you tell us anything about the edge, guys, because
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that's obviously a position of a lot of curiosity because
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: with no Grenard, right, you know, we don't know what
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: exactly that position is gonna look like.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Week one, Yeah, Hunt Hunts had a good two days.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: You've seen Nolan Smith. He's healthy, so that's a really
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: good thing. We were seeing number fifty seven aj Fanessa,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: who's learning how to drop in the coverage. It's been
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a struggle for him, but it's only he can't do it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: He's just not gonna have to do it before. So
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: he's learning on it. You know, there's no question it's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: it's it's a challenge for him. But this is what
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Vic does and and the guys know it. And followed
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Jaysutt had a pick you pick where the ball was
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: going to hit the ground. It was just deflected and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: he got it. It wasn't like he read it the defense.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: He just happened to ball popped up and he on
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: he do for it and got it. It's it's gonna
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: be interesting, Josh. Before we get out of here, just
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to just you know, I post this question to Andrew
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: on a show that we did yesterday because Jeremiah Trott
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Junior has been so good. We understand Vick does not
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: rotatoes linebackers, but is there scenario where maybe situationally, maybe
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Trotter comes in for Campbell in certain situations. We haven't
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: seen that yet. But Campbell, by the ways, he's played
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: with the twos like he in uh in the in
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the red zone. Yet yesterday he played with the twos.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: They just they they started to mix and match guys.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and we know Vic doesn't do this, but
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: trot Junior has been so good he's there's no competition.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: He's the number three linebacker, and he has been cross
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: trained the will and the and the mic in their
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: in their scheme, you could do either. He's just a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: really good football player. Well, unfortunately, because Vic doesn't like
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to rotate his guys talk, I played very much on defense.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I think that leads into the question, Adam, And it
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: may seem like a very simple answer, but I know
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: there's people who are listening on the audience right now.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: They might be asking, well, Trotter Junior is playing so well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is there a chance he could be linebacker number two?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Is the linebacker number three?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, they're not. No. Oh, it's funny.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Definitely not. But this is what I would tell you.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Goes for just about anyone. If Vic doesn't like what
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: he's seeing of it the starting unit in season, he'll
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: make a change. Like I was telling Andrew and I
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: at lunch today. If Tree Wallen is not playing well, Hello,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Cooper Degene pack a corner. He doesn't want to do that,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: but Vic doesn't care. It's whatever it's best for the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: football team. He doesn't care about hard feelings, you know, yep,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and that's just that's it. I mean, that's look, he
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: didn't and we told our picture on people this year
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: and a half ago. We had heard like our belief
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: was that Vic didn't see Koop as a full time
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: corner long term. And that's probably true. But at the
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: same time, you gotta win football games, and they are
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: not deep a corner. I gotta tell you, John and
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Jones is hurt. He didn't practice, he wasn't even in uniform.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: He wasn't he didn't even have a helmet. So he's
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: got a shoulder injury. He's a thirty three year old corner.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: They don't have a fourth corner right now. They have
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: no idea who the fourth corner is. Like that's it's
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: not mac mcwiams, not Corn Bennett has hurt. They don't
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: know who that is. So that's a position to watch
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: out see if they make a move there.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's where the curiosity is, Adam, Before
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I let you go, it's August twentieth. Historically, there's been
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: many seasons where Harriet Rosen makes a move before the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: start of the season. I have my mind always goes
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: back to C. J. Garter Johnson Roald Darby are just
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: a couple, so are we? Are we in prime? How
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: we make transition acquisition territory here?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Definitely, there's no question they got it now. It doesn't
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: have to be a huge mob of a corner because
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: they're ready in who's starting or you know, definitely, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: offensive line of guard is not very good. I think
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: that that was one of our pre training could pre
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: training camp questions. It's still as I answered itself, that's
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: why they turn, That's why they've cross trained Drew Kendall
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: with Dad Pete. I believe I saw practice today. A
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: former offensive guard in the NFL and center for the
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Chats and Patriots. Uh yeah, Jet, look Josh how he
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: is very aggressive. He likes making trades. He's you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: he's made the most trades in the NFL since he
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: became general managers. So I don't see that. Chamesn to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: be honest with you.
• 12:01
