ITB: More Intel On Philadelphia Eagles Pickups After Wild Day Of NFL Trade Deadline Action · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Inside the Birds is back. What's going on? Everybody? It's
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Jeff Mosher and Adam Kaplan. It is the day after
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the NFL trade deadline has come and gone, Adam, and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. We've actually already discussed all the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: moves the Eagles have made, bringing in Jail and Phillips,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: bringing in Jay r Alexander, bringing in Michael Carter, the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: two because Howie Roseman got ahead of the market. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I have even a different opinion I guess now of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Eagles moves after all the craziness of Tuesday. Sometimes
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you're happy, right as a fan when your GM is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: aggressive and makes that killer move. But sometimes you're also
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: happy when your GM isn't too aggressive and just bankrolls
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: everything to go for it, like a couple of teams. Yeah,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the Cold maybe the Cowboys, but I think that the Eagles.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: A friend of mine texted me and said, man, they've
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: kind of made underwhelming moves, and I said, maybe it
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: just called for that. You know, they clearly got better
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and deeper with their moves, and we'll see. But what
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a wild Tuesday deadline. I don't remember anything like it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It's funny you say that because I was talking to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: there's a personal guy, personnel guy that you and I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: know very well, and he was what who I thought of?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Because he told me, he gave me kind of an
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: idea what his team was thinking. They wound up not
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: making a trade on Tuesday. There were eight trades, by
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the way, on Tuesday. But I said, hey, did you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: see what Philly did?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: What you know?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: What your thoughts? He goes, he thought, he thought how
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: he did very well. He said he didn't like the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Alexander move. He understood why they did because he knew
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the Eagles weren't very good opposite Mitchell. But he love
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the Jalen Phillips move, he said. He goes, and he
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: knows for fact that Phillips is on his way back
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: pretty well. Like he's not quite what he was before
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the jury. He's doing well because he's got You get
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: a guy, he's got a first round pedigree who's close
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to what he was before two massive injuries, and you're
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: trying to win a Super Bowl? Did you give up
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a third round pick? Like you Yes, it's a third round.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: That's a starter round, by the way, it's the last
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of the true starter rounds, right, But you know what
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you go for, and it was good to get a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: point of view from someone who works in the business,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: because that's what we do here. We don't do recaps.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: We go inside, and I just wanted to get an
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: idea of what personal people thought of the Eagle stuff.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Everybody likes Michael Carter, you know, they now they understand
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Salad got fired last year, which we should have mentioned
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: in the last show, like there were some issues going
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: on and there was this bad coaching last year. It
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: was just it was a nightmare. But you know, Cardi
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Loos's job this year got replaced. Yeah, so you know
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we have to point that out, like he may not
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: be the guy that he once was, right, but we'll
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: get into that and we'll give you some more intel.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And how he.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Confirmed our reporting last week of mentioning the safety position
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, good press conference.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Pretty funny, by the way, Yeah, very very funny. How
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you could tell how he was in a good mood
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in that press convernce.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Was because he already made all his moves, as he said.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Right right, he was sitting back watching some teams just
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: completely light themselves on fire. Just a good player, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I know you said it first to me through text,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: but you know, I always want to know what personal
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: people say. I got to tell you, no one liked
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that that trade for the cults. They understood why they
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: did it. And one guy told me, he goes, listen,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: not only did they overpay, he goes, you realize that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: they're now locked into Gander Jones. Like, that's exactly why, oh,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I said, because they don't have me too. They don't
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: have to once the next two years. He goes, They've
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: made it. They've mortgaged their future.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Right if.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Now here's the funny. They're not good opposite Sauce Gardner
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: because they missed it. This is what happens, guys, when
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you miss on a first or second round pick that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you expect to start. This has a trickle down effect.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: They missed on Juju Brant, who they cut after two years.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: They had no one. Kennymore's great, but he's their nickel.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: He's not Cornery's nickel. So if they didn't make a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: trade for a corner, and you know, there weren't a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: lot of trades for true corners, right, but through this
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: trade deadline, and the word around the league was the cost.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: It was cost prohibitive. Well look at the Saft Gardener trade, right,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: if you want to if you wanted a premier corner,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you're gonna pay out the ass. And it's just so funny.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Chris Ballad is the most conservative GM it was.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: That's why I was shocked when I saw the team.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, and I founded texting him, but I'd say, dude,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: what he probably would have yelled at man or something,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: but no, but look, he's he's going for it. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: know some people are not happy with him, but you
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: know what, if you want a super Bowl, it doesn't
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: matter what anyone else thinks. Well, they're going to make
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the playoffs barring a something bad happening, like Daniel Jones
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: getting hurt. But you're you're he's going for it. Remember
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: they've been. I've called Chris Ballard like the it's like
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the Jeff Fisher of GMS. He's like a five hundred.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: You know, that's what they've been, right, trade mediocre. I mean,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: let's right, call it like it is. But he went
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: for it. I give Chris. You know, he one for
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: with Anthony richardson World to Guys, yep, and now he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: got Daniel Jones was up until last week. Did a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: good job. Yep, and we'll see.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: But it was wrong. I could be wrong, but I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: feel like they're going to regret it in the end.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Same thing with the Cowboy, sure, because because I don't.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I think if just like you just said, I think,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna trade multiple first round picks, you need
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to satisfy two criteria. One, you need to be really
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: thinking that you are a good team for not just
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: this year, but for many years. And usually that means
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you have a French, no doubt about it, uplift all
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. And I can't say after eight weeks, No,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I know how well he's played, but I still can't
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: say Daniel Jones is that guy. And then two, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: still don't make that move unless i'm getting and I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: know how good Sauce Gardner was the first two years
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of his career, but that's to me, I'm not doing
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it unless I'm getting a Miles Garrett pass rusher or
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a left tackle like Trent Williams. I just man, again,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I only do it for a corner if I was
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: so awesome in every other that I.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Was right on your point. So the late Gil Brandt
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: told me many years ago when I got to No
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Guild in the early.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Two thirty times.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: We were sitting in this hotel room and he was great.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: He's like, you could ask.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Me anything you want.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I said, how the hell, because you know, he was
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the father of modern day scouting.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: They were the late sixties.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: They were the first u's IBM computers to help them,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: which is crazy. But I said, how did you put
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: together your draft board? He goes, well, we had a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: value board by position. I'm like, oh wow, really can
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you explain to him?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And he said, it's.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Quarterback, left offensive tackle obviously for right handed quarterback, for
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the blind side cornerback. What's third? And it's funny because
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: when I remember that, I remember what this guy said
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to me. He goes, you don't trade two future first
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: round picks for a non quarterback or non left you No,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: he said quarterback left tackle right or ed rusher ed
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: rusher right? I think, and I think Gill said it
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: was he had cornerback four, it was quarterback, it was
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: left tackle, it was it was right defensive end. Who
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: will go against the left tucker? Then corner that's it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: That corner four. Yep, So yeah, I agree, with you, man,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it's it's a lot. And by the way, they also
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: had to throw an eighty Mitchell I.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Know, top one's in a top fifty five pick. I mean,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: my gosh, that's that's bad. That that's Look. Look.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I hope, I hope look, and I hope for Colt fans,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I hope saw you. Sauce has not played to the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: level that he played in years past. So obviously very good,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: one of the best in the league. I hope he
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: plays great, and I hope that Daniel just rebounds and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: plays well.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But they're no sure thing. I mean, they're great at.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Safety and it crosses having a breakout season, really good
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: football player, good d line, offensive lines been decent. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Tyler Warren's running for rookie year, has had a great
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: rookie season. Jonathan Taylor's back, my god.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, They've got a lot of pieces in places.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: But I guarantee you this right. You ask if you
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: polled twenty NFL gms, who do they think is going
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to be in the AFC Championship Game right now fifteen
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen, and are going to tell you either the Bills,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs or another team before they get to the call.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I just think it would.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: By the way, at looking at the uh, looking at
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the books at MGM, I saw on Tuesday, how the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: hell are the Chiefs stiff? Plus they have the shorter
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: sides plus FI fifty, they're still the favorite to it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: They're five and four?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: How they How? What members privilege the national teams? What's that?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I said? Membership has its privileges?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: The believable any team. I don't care, but I just
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: think it's absurd like it is. I guess it's it's like, hey, okay,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you think so I I we call it like we
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: say it. We called down the line. The Eagles right
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: now was just good of chances. If Jalen Phillips is
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: a pretty good player, I understand opposite opposite twenty problem,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: A lot of mystery. This is a good team here,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Phil Eagles. They've overcome a lot of craziness of the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: first eight games. Yeah, they've got just got a chance
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of it, if not better than anyone to one Super Bowl.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Hey it's Jeff Mosher. And if you have a family
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and kids at home, like me, you always want them
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to be fully protected. That's why I'm thrilled to be
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a simply Safe customer, and our house is equipped with
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the most technologically advanced alarm system you can get. If
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you could actually stop someone from breaking into your home
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: before they got inside, why wouldn't you. Traditional security systems
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: only react after a break in, but simply Safe is
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: different because it stops crimes before they happen. With active
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: guard outdoor protection. They're AI powered cameras detect threats while
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they're still outside your home, and they alert real security agents.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: These agents take action while the intruder is still outside
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and confront the intruder to let them know they're being
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: watched on camera and police is on the way. And
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that's how you stop a crime before it's committed. There's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: no long term contracts or hidden fees. You can cancel
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: any time, and it comes with a sixty day money
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: back guarantee. Try it and see the difference for yourself.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Do not miss out on simply Safe's biggest sale of
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the year, sixty percent off. Our listeners get sixty percent
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: off a simply Safe home security system at simplysafe dot
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: com slash bird. That's simplysafe dot com slash bird. So
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: let's do this. I agree with that. Let's talk we've
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: actually got more intel on some of the guys that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: we haven't yet reported, a lot more intel on the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: guys that the Eagles are brought in. We'll go through that,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: go through a few transactions to that happen that are
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: equally significant, and then at the end, just really quick,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: we'll take a look at some of the other trade
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: deadline moves that we either thought were weird or good,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and we'll call it a day on that. So before
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: we do that, I just want to call attention to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: one of our great interns, Nick palm Asano. I've mentioned
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: him before, but he's doing an excellent job not with
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: two things. One, he makes great social media clips for us.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: If you see our Instagram, our TikTok, our YouTube shorts,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: he's one of our two interns that are making great clips.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But secondly, he's been designing new overlays and graphics for
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Inside the Birds, including the one people are seeing right
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: now if they're watching on YouTube, and we got great
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: feedback on it. So what I wanted to do is
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: let people know, I mean, Nicky's work is working is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: interning for us, but he can certainly do the set.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of content creators I know and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: podcasters that listen to Inside the Birds or small business
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: owners who are also looking to enhance their own business
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and their product with artwork or graphic design. So Nick
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: palm Masano is his name. I'm gonna put his information
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: on the screen right now for everybody to see so
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you can reach out to him. He's cool with it,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and if you're looking to you know, have him do
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: for you or your business what he's doing for us.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: We couldn't recommend anybody better. He's done a great job.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So again, Nick Palmersano, and we thank Nick for doing
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: an excellent job.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Job incredible responses. Obviously because you showed it to me.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, that's pretty cool. But our listeners
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and viewers lovers with thanks.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, So let's do the transactions really quickly.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: They're pretty important for the Eagles. They opened up the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: twenty one day practice window for Nolan Smith. That's a
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: pretty good sign. It means at very least he could
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: be available to play against the Packers Monday night. We'll
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: have to see how he does in practice this week. Obviously,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to a corresponding move, they released Patrick Johnson was a
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: little surprised by that just because he's a really good
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: special team here. But Adam, we did say with the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: addition of Jalen Phillips, with Brandon Graham, with whose exemption
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: is over, and with Nolan Smith, someone they have to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: give somewhere, And so obviously Patrick Johnson will go. Well
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: he's off the fifty three, and they released Tis Marshall
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: from the practice squad. You kind of wonder if that's
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to make room to get Patrick Johnson back on there.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I think Patrick Stilles elevations, if I'm not mistaken, I don't.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Have that in front of me. But also, after the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: trade deadline, any player that's released, even if even if
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the guy's a fifteen year veteran, he goes through waivers.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It's just right the way the rule is now. Because
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: these these were done before the trade deadline. They were
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: done before Tuesday at four pmeter and that's when they
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: went through. He's actually not subject to waivers, so he
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: he literally But you know the Eagles are good about
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: like when they got to practice squad deal done, like
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: seem to announce it very quickly so they could announce
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: it later today.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Right, You're right, he was. His contract was terminated that
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll bring up.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: But he did.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: He did a good job. Patrick Johnson was kind of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: surprising me.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I know, he he's kind of like you said before,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: he's mister training camp and then he winds up not
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: doing much.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Did a good job. Yeah, but I mean at this point,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: they have so many boys, I don't need him. Yeah,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: they don't. And then also I know Andrew Decheko will
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: be very was very excited when this came out. But
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Danny Gray is back with the Eagles right onto the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: practice squad. Now, he was interesting because of all the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: speed that he has, and he was one of those
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: guys we talked about in the off season fastest receiver
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: on the team has a chance. But his thing is
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: he can't stay healthy. And he suffered an injury at
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: camp and very early in camp, right it was, so
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: he was pretty much a non factor right away. Yeah.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I asked Andrew was a finger injury. I think he
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: said it was.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: We Andrew and I hosted for WBCBR Pro Football Report Show.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: We hosted it at Chicken Pizon Rosvel Boulevard and we
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: had Gary Cobb by the way, Yeah, g Cobb, by
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the way, do you know that he was a big
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: time baseball player.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: He was drafted. Yes, I didn't know that. He told
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: me about it. He's also from Connecticut, I know.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, Stanford, right, he was born. I think his family
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: was from North Carolina. Yeah, he said North Carolina and
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: he moved to Stamford, Connecticut. And I think four of
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: his siblings went to Ivy League schools and his I say,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: his dad want him to go to Ivy League, but
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: he chose USC and he was recruited to play baseball
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: football and uh he played. If you really follow college football,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Charles White who is an all time great running back
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: at USC and we we actually went for the Anthony Munio.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Is he playing with the Hall of Famer.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Let's talk the Bengals, right, Yeah, well, listen, there's another
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: weird fact. Not to get too off the rails about GKA,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: but Stanford, Connecticut, which is not the biggest town in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the world. You've probably been there, been through at least
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it's it's a good yeah. Yes, w w E NBC
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Universal Studios also now Sports NBC Sports Universal, but also
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: some really good athletes. Steve Young is from Stanford.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: He's actually from he went you know how I know
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: my wife went to high school with him.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, really was Grantwich.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a little younger than and and Trey Wingo.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: My wife was at at Greenwich hid the same tray,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a little bit older, but yeah, Greenwich High.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Bobby Valentine, Yes he did.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: That's right, that one I know.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's another one is I think Bill Romanowski
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: is either from Stanford or like a neighboring town, Romo, Romo. Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: And then right next to Stanford is a town called
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: nor I mean the Norwalk, right mova on and Calvin
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Murphy NBA, hallam Cookie Calvin. Okay, yeah, just like this
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: little pocket of canetives southwest Connecticut that's giving us some
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: good athletes.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Very nice, very nice. But yeah, so Dan, Yeah, Danny
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Gray is back. He could run, he could Yeah. Well
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: look it's not like he's gonna Eagles are not a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: heavy eleven personal team anyway, It's not like he he
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: may never be on the active roster, but is a guy.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: You know what, if you could just stay healthy, he
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: could actually help the team someday.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: So Petter was released.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: The one thing though, the one thing that would concern
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: me and you hope it never comes to passes. They
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: really have lacked depth, uh, terms of developmental players on
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: their practice squad. For linemen. Yeah, Hinton's on ir the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: sixth rounder. So if you look at it right now,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and if you look at the practice squad, they got
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the international player Holland Pierce, who's long ways away from truing.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: He got cross trained at left tackle and guard. The
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: kid Jake Majors, who's a street free agent, is a center.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: He's non factor. So they don't really have the guy
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like they know it's in the pipeline if they could,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: if they wanted to call on him. So what it
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: means is they still need to take a look at
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: find a backup center guard to put on the practice squad.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Now I get it toaf shock the world. He looked
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: great and we'll learn more about Cam Jurgens starting Thursday's practice.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: But still would like to see a developmental interior a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: lineman on the practice squad, at least a veteran in
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: case something happens where Toath reverts back to where he
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: was or Jurgons can't play for a bit. You just
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: you want to cover every base when you know you're
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: a pretty good football team.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean the Eagles had one all last year, right,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: or they never played him, or maybe I forget he
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: was on I R. Was the Raven Clark, remember they
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: had him for those reasons.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: He was actually on IR Yeah he yeah, he went
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: on Iron. If you remember you won Iron, I think
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: in May of last year.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: You know what, some one day I'm gonna when I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: get back to really really in depth writing again, Yeah,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I would love to write a story about injuries suffered
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a practice and how debilitating. And look at look at
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Travis Hunter, right, he's on I R. He suffered an
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: injury in practice for the Jaguars, so he's gonna be
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: out a couple weeks. And I remember when Namdi really
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: hurt his knee at a time where the Eagles needed him,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that I was there.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: In extended it in practice. He I mean, because the
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: prom is when they they when you don't when you
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: when you see it, when it's a knee.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Injury, you're like, oh no, yeah, And.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: They got very lucky. I know he want him not playing, well,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I get that, but yeah, yeah, it wan ill be in.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: A hyper extent. Did he play the next week? He did?
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: He did play? He didn't play very well, but he
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't play well to begin with. But I swear there's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: probably nothing that more bothers a coach, Right when a
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: player gets hurt in practice because you're not supposed to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: have contact, it's incidental. Like I remember being at a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: practice once where Carrie Williams tackled Riley Cooper to the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: ground and they almost got into a fight because of it,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and the whole thing was, you're not supposed to be
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: doing that at practice. Yeah. Yeah, well and it was
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: an accident or you know how Carrie was. You got
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a little carried away, no pun intended, and uh yeah,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: brought him down. But yeah, people get really mad and upset.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: But when you lose a player, a starter, like someone
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: like Travis Hunter because of a practice injury, that's just
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: kinda suck.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: The Charles Bentley okay, I should have been an Eagle,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: But when the Charles Bentley got hurt with Cleveland, was
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: that was that in a OTA practic first OTA practice?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I think it was because training camp practice is different.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: There there's contact that allowed. Ot is You're right, sad,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: so sad? Yep.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: You know this is your big free free agent signing
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: and it's the Browns curse man, because that's what the
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: fans will bring up. They're so cursed, you know. But
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: getting back to reality, so yes, so Sue Peta, Yeah,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: he may come back. The good thing though Noland Smith. Look,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: he could if if they think he looks good in practice.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Remember now though he had the triceps surgery, then he
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: then he strained it. He is, he's a tressp strain.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: So he's gotta be right now. The question we're going
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: to get into this, this is the purpose of the show,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: is we haven't really talked about any of this stuff.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: What's it going to look like going forward from a
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: conceptual standpoint? Rotations? You know, Vic doesn't like rotating a
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: lot of guys. They have a lot of guys now
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: at Edge because Nolan got hurt and Jalok Hunt's coming
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: on here and they just trained for Jalen Phillips. He
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: get his job back, starting job back.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: That is that's it's a question, right, all right, So
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: let's talk about these guys in some of the new
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: intel that we have. It's it's a it's a good deal.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: You know. I purposely asked around some people in the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: league about Jalen Phillips specifically how his skill set might
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: compare to what the Eagles already have. And one guy
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: spoke to who was very knowledgeable on Jalen Phillips said
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and also knowledgeable about what the Eagles have at him,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: made it a point to say, and this is something
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: we actually talked about a couple of weeks ago when
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Zaderias Smith retired, that he gives them a lot more
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: bulk and length at the edge. And wait, he's he's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a two sixty five guy. I mean that's that's big
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: for what the Eagles have on the edge. And he
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: told me fell Jillen was a way better point of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: attack type player than Jelex Hunt who's still learning and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Nolan Smith. Nolan Smith is a good point of attack player.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: You've seen him take on pulling guards. I mean he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: gets his body going, but he's a light point of
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: attack player, whereas Jialen Phillips a bigger, stronger guy. So
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: he helps them not only with the pass rush, but
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: we talked about their lightness on the edges and that's
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: not as much of an issue now without Zadarius Smith,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: but with jahn Phillips, Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Because he's just down sixty five, but he's over to sixty.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: He's a big dude. Instead of saying in the inside
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the tape show that the bonus show that we did
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: with Greg, three of us, you know, I said, look,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: he's a if you said the prototype, give me what
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: you if you said chisel guy, a thirty four edge, right,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: what you want him to look like? Because you could
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: play him down the box, you can stand him up,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you can play him inside nickel, which he's done, or
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: play him with him in the dirt. It's this dude,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and it's such a shame. I mean, think about he
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: was he did miss a game his first two years.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: He looked like he was going to be that guy.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Two major injuries. But he looks healthy based on what
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: we've told and Greg talked about it, but we heard
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: it from separately from people. Looks pretty good. Not quite
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: where he was. Obviously he's getting there. And so here's
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the question. Okay, because Usha did a good job, actually
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: how he's free agent? Signs weren't great this year, but
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: this guy has looked good. You know, we wait questions.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: He still can Play's big is on the roster now
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: he got reinstated off the exemption. They got a lot
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: of guys here. And but here's the thing with Jalx Hunt.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: You don't want to stunt his progress, right, It's look nol.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Smith does not deserve you just don't pencil him in
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: over Phillips or Hunt. He got hurt, it's been out
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the whole the whole idea is Phillips
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: has been hurt a lot. Right, Hunt's healthy. Rather, he's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: healthy Hunt. You can do a nice job of rotating
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: guys in to keep him fresh year. Yes, no one,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: no one of these three guys is making like thirty
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: million a year where you feel the pressure or play
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: them all so you can. And Vic doesn't give a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: crap about of that anyway, I know.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't do what good. What Schwartzy did is
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Schwartzy love. He loved it. Rotate four or five guys.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're Vick is more about three guys.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: That's the which surprised me. Most coaches don't see it
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: like Vic. Of course, Vick is brilliant. We're not We're
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: not criticizing him. We're just questioning. As you said, you
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: got Phillips, you got Hunt. Smith's going to be back
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: soon unless he has a setback. BG they got to
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: see yet, Yes, he's right. Yeah, they got a lot
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: of guys.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: This is a great thing. But I'm with you. It's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: it's interesting to see how he's going to figure out
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: that snapshare there.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: He hasn't had this problem, but you know, it's a
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: good problem to have. But now, of course practice tells
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: you everything. How do they look, Yes, Phillips does the system.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: He played in it, but that was two years ago.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: They got to just see because they know what the
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: tape look like from Miami. But he's got to get
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: himself back into the VIC system. He played it for
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: short a shortened season. You're certainly not going to see
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Campbell at all on the edge. That's over any possibility
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: of it is done.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: So it's it's fascinating to see what happened. I understand,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: you know, we we we were right because that was
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: the case until a week ago. Last game, Hunt clearly
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: was not ready. It seemed like he jump a step
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: with Hunt. We didn't see it in training camp, we
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: didn't see it for the five or six first five
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: or six games as an intrusher. But he looks so
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: much better in that last game. We're like, whoa Okay,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: let's go keep it going. And now you got you
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: got Smith coming back, who's on the other side, And
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: you got Phillips. Now it's it's it's it's And then
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: you've got Beg. Sorry, you got BG here. Not that
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: he play a lot anyway, but it's this is a
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: big talk between Vic and Howie.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: How about how he said, Oh wow, I had a
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: good conversation with Vic. How about that our coach Frians
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you well, what he talked about is had a minuscule
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: impact and how yes, right.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And because look, Vic is prickly. Vic talked about I
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: don't know the first couple of months he got here
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: about yeah, he's had issues with front offices because he
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: had he speaks his mind.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, they have a healthy respect. Howie and
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Vick were pretty they got pretty tight when Vic would
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: visit the team, you know, before he came here, when
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: he was just you know, he fired, and he was
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: you know, he lives in the area, so he'd stop by.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: But uh, and then remember the oddness of what we
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: saw him in Mia. What did we see him in Miami?
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, he just showed up, Like what's that about? Well,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: that's so weird because then he wound up the next
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: year being the Dolphins in Miami. At that time he
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: was still kind of like helping out the Eagles. It
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: was just just fun.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: So Jeff and I are at the joint practices and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: you know, we're standing, you know, it's godly, it's so
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: so human, so hot, and we're like, what is Vic
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Fangil walking by me?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Front?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: But why did he was he here?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: What's I don't know. I mean we're thinking, like as
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: like a beach house in Miami, Like, no, he doesn't,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: he's talking. He's just friends with the Eagles. Like it's okay,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: He's allowed to do that. But I just thought it
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: was odd. And then, as you said, when I'm working
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: for the fun.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: It was very funny, all right. So so that the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: last thing on Phillips is that in Miami he did
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: play quite a bit inside. You know, they would bring
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Top Robinson and ub outside, but I you know, we
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: haven't seen Vic do that a whole lot of that
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: with Edges. Now, he might be used more in the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: twist and stunt game, which the Eagles are starting to
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: incorporate a little bit more. But we'll have to see.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is another way to get all those
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: ends that we were talking about on the field. But
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you don't really need to take a Joemo off the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: field or Jill and Carter off the field because they're
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they're good players. So it's just just something that is
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: at Vick's disposal if the if he wants to use
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: a package that nobody has seen yet before.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Sure, it's funny because I remember we were saying last week,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: this is before all the fireworks, you know, this is before.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Well we we knew BG.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: But again, he's still gonna be limited terms of how
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: many snaps he gets. But we didn't know about Phillips.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: We knew they were looking, they were going to get
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: an edge, we just didn't know who's going to be yet.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: So they got Phillips. Nolan Smith now is coming back
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: soon barring a setback, and you don't you could just
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: you don't have to move. You can do it, but
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: you don't have to move anyone to the outside from
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: the interior because now they have so many guys now
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: to finish this part off, they gave up a third
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: for Phillips. Again, that is a starter round. That's the
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: last starter round of drift like. First round is a
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: high end starter. Second round is a an above average starter.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Third round is a lower tier starter. Fourth round is
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: a high end it high end back up lower very
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: low like like below average starter. Right, but that's the
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: start around they give. They get up a third I
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: get it. It could be the thirty second pick, doesn't matter.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: It's a third round, right, So he's got to start like.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: That's just the way I say.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, Now, the question is that is Nolan Smith's side,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: assuming it is good? Point that point, that's what you
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: gotta talk like. That's the discussion between Halie and Vic
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: and Jeremi Washburn the interature coach like they and Vic
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: coached them two years ago, so you know what to expect.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Plus, even if you wanted to move Smith over the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: other side and then just bring Hunt off the bench,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: that's that That is the side that would expose the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: triceeps more. They're they weren't they keeping him over left
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: to keep the right triceeps on the outside and that Yeah,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: so if you put them over right tackle on his
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: right triceps on the inside, then he's gotta that's his
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: punch hand and then you risk you know, react more
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: more contact to it. So now that's not just something
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to add to the conversation where they went.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Plus and again, Phillips can play inside and Nickel. That's
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: very valuable the BG role obviously, we've seen him do
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: it in the past very very well.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that the good.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: The cool thing is if everybody healthy and looking right,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: teams would die to have this kind of depth at
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: edge and it could be pretty good. We're not there
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: yet because they got to show it first. But the
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: two things we talked about in their June camp is like, boy,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: they're not they don't have. They just they have. They're
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: just not good enough of out. It's very clear, and
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: they turned out to be right. It's just they how
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: acknowledged it. He brought. He talked Beg out of retirement.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: He traded for Jalen Phillips. There's your hands.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, I still like a good night out, but I'm
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: not always in the mood to drink. And that's why

• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to the the two defensive backs, obviously Michael Carter the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: second and Jay Alexander man Cosell for any Ofbud who've
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: heard either him doing inside the tape or even our
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Patreon members who had a great Q and A session
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: with him on Tuesday and asked Greg Cosel, he's much more.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I guess bought into the idea that Jay R. Alexander
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: can be a starter for the Eagles and really help them,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: then I am. I mean, I I can't get past
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the whole idea that on a very bad Ravens defense,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: he wasn't playing because they didn't want to play him,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and and it wasn't because he was on the injury
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: report the last few weeks either, right, and I think
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: he was he was healthy, he could have.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Played healthy, they were down three players, I wouldn't play him.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm not making this up.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: This is a fact now I do.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: It's saying, right, his talent at one point would make
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: him easily but that's not who they have. So I I, well,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: don't the Eagles see they obviously maybe Christian Parker who
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: was He didn't coach him.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: He was he was a quality defensive quality control with
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Green Bay. But he knows him. Maybe Parker was. Maybe
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: he's friends with him, Mabe, he stayed in touch with
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe he knew he just need to get out of Baltimore.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: They didn't like whatever the case may be.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just can't believe.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: How would make a trade for a guy who was
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: bench because he couldn't play. Yeah, it's not a problem
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: that maybe maybe maybe his knees better. Who knows. He
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: had to have some intel.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, he did say he mentioned and I and
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I kind of not circled it, but I put in
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: my mind he and DaCosta from the Ravens have a
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: good relationship. It goes back to the fact that he
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: had a great relationship with OZZIEK. Newsom.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Their houses are like nextors by the way.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have houses right next to each other in
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: uh in Florida on the Panhandle. So in fact, I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: think Howie has said that the Tim Jernigan trade got
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: executed while both of them were basically on the beach.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: He's always had a good relationship with the Ravens, and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: he said he had good honest conversations with the Ravens.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm not saying that the Ravens spoke glowingly, because
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: if the Ravens spoke glowingly of Alexander, they'd be playing
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: them right now. But there may be there was something
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: said like this guy needs like five more weeks conditioning.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And so again I don't even consider
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: it a treat because they didn't give anything. They didn't
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: give up anything. They they got a pick and gave
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: up a pick, right, I mean, we're talking about what
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: maybe like ten slots in the draft. I have no
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: idea what it's going to wind up being. It was,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and it was, it was like a nothing. So they're
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: just throwing a dart. But again, I always thought that
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: at any movie you're gonna make at this point should
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: be specifically designed to make your team better, not hope
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: to make your team better. So because Howie Rosman always
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: says hope, it's not a strategy.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: But I love that one. Yes, but this is.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: What But this is you know, Greg thinks that there
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: might be something there.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Well, here's and we grilled them Greg when we did
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the Inside the Tape show, the Bonus Show.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: He meant.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: He said it like Man Arizona didn't matter. He was
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: great whenever they and play man A or zone. Yeah,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: he was elite. He's just over, he's just he's just
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: under five to ten. But then you've got the maturity issue,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: the strangeness thing. I've never seen this in twenty seven
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: years cover this business.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: The guy.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: The guy does something you're not supposed to be. He
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: decides he's going to be team captain without telling the team. Yeah,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I mean Mountain, the floor was so mad. He just
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: didn't know what to say when it happens. I remember
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: watching his post game press conference. He was incredulous. He's
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: just this can't happen. And he's we're going to deal
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: with it tomorrow, you know whatever he got.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but ye. Anyway, how he didn't hide the fact
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that it was a dart throw. By the way, he
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: said it twice, he said it to him versus Ward.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: He said, good for him. He didn't.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: He he didn't avoid it. It wasn't like how it
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: was his first how twenty ten first years of a gym.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: He didn't.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: He didn't avoid it. He knows it's the.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Throwing dark excuse, like, let's put it this way.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Let's say he's healthy, right, because he clearly there was
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: something wrong with him.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: The Ravens, they.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't play it. Yeah, but let's let's say he's healthy.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: They're going to know him practice, yep, do you? I
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: know this is subjective, but if he's just average, he
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: may be better than what they have.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm still of the mindset that they brought
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to Corey and Bennett in for a reason, and they
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: would he had great speed and quickness and played decent
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: level and is you know, as long as he's healthy,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: it's not like he had lower leg ind like knee
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and ankle inje or something that would make you maybe, yeah,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: pactoral injury, which you know that happens. You can come
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: back from that and be fine.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta get it right, but god.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Right, No, the thing you'd worry about is reaggravation of
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: those shoulder. But as far as athleticism, he should be fine.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: So I would like to think that he gets some
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: kind of look here if he can, unless they've just
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: already seen in the I don't know it's well to get.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Him into practice. But here's the problem. He never got
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: the defense right. If you remember he capped, they gave
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: him a shot and they pulled him more than once.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: So I it's a real quagmire. Opposite opposite Quinnon, but
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: right now here, Okay, So here's what it looks like.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Talk about a a a mashup. You got a Dory
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Jackson coming from the back from the concussion. We'll see
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: if he gets cleared this week macmgwens. As we said,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the lecture does not factor it anywhere. He's just he
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: may not dress the rest of the season. He's just
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: not going to contribute the season. So opposite Mitchell, it's
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: jack Well, when we say that, we got to see
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: who's because Alexander's added to this. But the cornerbacks now
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: are Quinnon, Mitchell, jay R, Alexander Ringo, Droy Jackson, Coop
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: if they need him to because they have now enough
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: corners and I didn't say they're good enough. But the embodies,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: they're gonna have to have what we call and they
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I know coaches hate doing this because you and I
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: have talked about before. The coaches hate this, but they're
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: gonna have to have a practice competition. It's basically what
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: the tape looks like in practice, right Alexander's new I
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: haven't seen him. Bennett's still not on the roster. He's
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: he's but he's the last guy here.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: So it's Quinnie.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Well, the total the total cornerback group left, the right
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: corner shirt, Mitchell, Alexander, Ringo, Jackson, Coop if you need him,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: and Bennett. The problem is you haven't seen Bennett. I
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: mean he hadn't played in since what week three?
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, rams, So.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: It's just there's a lot of uncertainty. And look, Eagles
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: know where Bennett's at from his rehab and he did
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: practice before the bye. But it's just it's you have
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys, but you don't know what you have.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's that expression? If you got two quarterbacks, you
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: don't have any quarterbacks. If you've got five second cornerbacks,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: you don't have any second corner.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: That's they have five.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, it's not good. But their hope is
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: because that was what they're hope, and hope was with
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Jackson and Ringo one would merge and it never happened.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I was told that hope is not a strategy.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: But that's what I don't know how much confidence they
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: had because you know that the reporters were grew were
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: you were, there were reporters like simply anytime Vic talk,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: they kept asking about Ringo Jackson. Okay, who's ahead? You know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: how they're doing? And he'd say, well, I'd like to
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: know by a certain date, and you know, blah blah blah,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: and they just were They wouldn't know untill it was
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: obvious thought that Jackson performed well, but Ringo was so
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: far behind him, and training camp is like, okay, by
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: the fault, Jackson's going to start week one, what else
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: can you do? And here we are in week ten
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: and Alexander now has a chance because they had to
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: turn to transactions. Always tell you, well, they're not happy
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: with what they have, so they had to trade for Alexander,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: who's a Darth.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Throw, Yeah, Darth throw extraordinary. Carter Carter, you know, the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: word I got is that people think he's small, so
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: he can only play the slot, which is we know
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: that we we've talked about that he is not going to
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: play outside. He's not in that mix that we just mentioned,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Thank god, by the way, because who could do? Who could?
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Who wants to add another cornerback to that mix of
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: guys who are who are struggling to hold down that position.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But he he's a well bill sort of. He's built
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: like safety, right, he's not the reason why. Talking to
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: the Jets about him when they drafted him, they yes,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: they knew his tape showed he played safety. They didn't
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: see him as a safety, right, They thought he moved well,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: but he was built like a He's a little bigger
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: than Avonte Maddox. He didn't run as well as Mannox,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: but he was built like a safety. They moved in
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: the safety to Nickel dominant Nicole immediately. Smart guy picked
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: everything up, did everything they asked, got the extension, and
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: then the bottom fell out, you know, and he needs
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: a change of scenery. He just and I'm sure he's
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: loving this. He's got a chance to win a Super Bowl.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Make my goodness. You got all that, You've got your
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: extension done. Then you get benched and you get traded
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: to maybe the best team in foot ball. Does it
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: get much better than that?
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: No, it's pretty good. Even Jayalen Phillips was so happy
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: to be here. I saw he ran into our guy
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: John Clark in the airport. Airport already yelling like go
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: birds and all that. So John did he say that, Yeah,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: he was. He was pretty happy they are. I could
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: see I can see Vic playing if he wants to,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: some big nickel. If Carter really adjunts easily into the
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: it hasn't done it here, but.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done it, I think at Denver.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, he did do it in Denver. Right,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: all right, So so that's it. That's those three guys
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: and the roles that we expect for them. Let's just
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: finish this off real quick.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Real quick, So so real quick. Carter's going to, as
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: we noted last week, He's gonna be crosstrated safety. Not
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: we didn't know about the Marcus EPs injury until he
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: went on I are that was kind of a mystery injury.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: So right now, so Carter, if they need him to be,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: it's Macouba, it's Black and Chip at Sydney Brown and
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: then Carter be the for safety. The backup nickel will
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: also be Carter. I'm still it's obvious practice related and
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Vic's not happy with the way Williams practices because he
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: didn't play.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: They didn't. He doesn't contribute at all, right, so.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Even to give like like two steps off he doesn't.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: He doesn't really dress. So yeah, that's it. I mean,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: those are that's that's the that's where it's at right now.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that we wouldn't surprise me if by a
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: few weeks into this thing, if if if we're talking
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: about the safety pecking order, if Carter wasn't the number
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: three safety ahead of oh, if one of the true
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: safeties got hurt, I could see Carter going in way
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: before Sydney Brown goes in.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Seeing Brown's averaging seven snaps on defensive game and and
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: and part of that's him blowouts. So that tells you, now,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I get it. They a lot of teams like the Eagles,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: don't take their safeties off the field for various reasons.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is since Vic Fanger's
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: been here, Brown has been a non factor other than
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: special teams.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: So that's that's the factor. That's a fact. You know,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: it is worth just the facts, man. Yep, Hey, Philly fans.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Game day is stressful enough, parking traff, long lines, We've

  Speaker 1: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans. Twenty
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: one and up. Trade Deadline. Look the Cowboys, I think
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: I think they're misc man like. It's not that the
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: kid's not a great player, Quinn Williams, but you know
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: they're acting like a team that was Quinn Williams away
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: from winning the Super Bowl to give up a first
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: round pick and a second round pick, and I can't
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: get past the idea that, like, you traded for a
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: guy who's already in his second contract, so at most
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I think he's like twenty seven, twenty six, twenty seven,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: like you're hoping for. You're probably gonna get three to four,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: maybe even five really good years of Quinn Williams, which
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: is nice, but this year's a wash. Like you're not
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: making the super Bowl this year. I know they don't
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: think that way, but normal human beings think differently than
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. They're not making the super.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Bowl three five one.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: So it all starts next year. So now you're already
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: on tw twenty twenty six with his with his contract
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: and his age, and like, compare that to what you
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: expect when you draft in the first round a mid
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: round pick, and the Cowboys are pretty good with their
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: first round drafting. You're expecting seven, you know, at least
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: four years and a contract extension after three. You want seven, eight,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: maybe even nine good years out of a first round pick,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: which you've now sacrificed to get three to five good
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: years out of Quinnon Williams. And then you also gave
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: a second round pick on top of that. Like you're
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you have a losing record, you have your
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: three games behind the Eagles already, save your assets. The
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: smart thing to do would have been to save your assets,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: not to mention that your quarterback is injury prone, has
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: a very high contract and is not young either, like
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: you might need a quarterback actually two years from now,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Like what are you well?
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: They can't develop backup court of us. Cooper Rush completely
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: cratered last year, and boy, the Ravens totally regret that signing.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: He ready got bashed. I know, I was surprised too.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I thought he would at least keep them on schedule.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: He did not.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Well, he showed. I remember we had Paul Gunther on
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: the Who's Now at UNLV. Paul told me he goes
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: they when Paul was with Mike Zimmer with the Vikings,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Cooper Rush Tom apart, you know, yeah, and then he
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: just completely regretts. But yeah, Dallas, look this is again, folks.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: When you miss on a PI, you have to cover
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: it up with a trade. They missed badly on Massie Smith.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: What do they do?
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: They traded for Kenny Clark hadn't been has been much
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: of an impact. Then they overdo it with Quinn Williams.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: That's what happened, and then they had to trade their
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: best player to do those trades, right, they had to
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: trade Mike.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Player Michael Parkson's over to take a step back, and.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: They're just yeah.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: And by the way, also, the other problem that other
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: teams tell us about Dallas is they draft a lot
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: of questionable character players that are in there into the
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: stats and into their own things. Yeah, they're talented, but
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: when it push comes to show that they're not cohesive.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Right, there's just there's something.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: It's it's why can't Dallas be good again?
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Like it's been?
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Why haven't they got back to the super Bowl in
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: nearly thirty years. There's a reason for it. Yeah, they
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: drift a lot of flash and not a lot of
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: team guys. And that's right, that's why the Eagles are
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: just so much better than them.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I agree. So I know all people at first thought
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: that was a great move for Dallas, but then when
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I saw the competition, I said, that's terrible. I just
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: don't get it. If you were if you were quitting,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: if the Eagles traded a lot for Quentin Williams or
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: edge rusher of like a three like Miles Garrett, You're like, well,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: now you're gonna win the super Bowl. That's different.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: That's this is the best. This is a first ballot
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, right, you know he's still dominant thirty.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: No one could stop him. You would get that. Quinton Williams,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: by the way, first couple of years, very immature. By
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: year five became one of their team leaders. Like he
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: grew up. He got it, he understood the responsibility. Phenomenal
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: football player.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question about that. It's just well, you
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: know the other things.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is so obsessed with improving the run defense.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: It's like defense. I was like, dude, god get it. Club,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: get that.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: You have a bad secondary. They also have a bad secondary,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: right exactly exact Trayvon Diggs with this odd concussion he had,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: and there's there's just some friction with the kid that
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: they draft from Meath, Carolina come back from the A C. L.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Revel.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they gotta get him going.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: There are a total mess. Good luck Cowboys.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: There you go, all right. I actually did a little
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Winners and Losers from the trade deadline, so if you
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: want to see how I felt about I thought the
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Rams made a sneaky good move with McCreery. I thought, obviously,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I thought the Jaguars may have been the dumbest team
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: at the trade deadline. I gotta say, like they should
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: have been sellers and they're sitting there buying a slot
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: receiver who's got eight weeks left before he's.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: A free agent like that, and they're going for it.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: They're not good. You know that, as the lowest passer
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: rating in the NFL of all the starting.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: But again, they don't look at it when teams are like, okay,
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: this is this is a wide open year. There's no
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: there were no dominant teams. No one's close to dominant. Yeah,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: you tell me, whant to back a team they lose?
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: You want to be you want? You want to back
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: the lines?
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: They lose?
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: When to back the Packers? They lose terribly at home?
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I guess you can't watch the Jaguars and tell me
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: you think that they're actually a deep They're not going.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: No, they're not gonna put You can't tell them that.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I know. That's what I'm saying, Like, yeah, people get
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: look at themselves in the mirror and have an honest
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: conversation about who they are.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I love calling teams at the trade deadline that are
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: like surprising, like you're like wow, and you asked them Hey,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: what are you guys gonna do? You know, you feel
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: like you got to go for it, and they go,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: you know what we're going to do. We're not gonna
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: tell you what they're going to trade for it, but
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: they're they'll say, yeah, we've had to talk when we're
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: gonna go for it. And you watch what they do
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: and it's, uh, it's pretty interesting. And it's funny because
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: their defense, I mean, Anthony Campanelli's done a great job
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: of their defense, but they're really not good at corner.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: So what do you do They trade for a receiver? Yeah, okay,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: makes no sense to me, but either way, that is
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: gonna do it. That's that's good stuff. We went around league.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like I said on Philly Voice dot com,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: you can read my summation of my winners and losers
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: from the trade deadline. That's gonna do it. For this
