The DiCecco Daily: Intel From Final Eagles Training Camp Practice Of 2026 · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, and welcome into another episode of the Checo Daily.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's Andrew DiCecco, Eagles beat reporter for InsideTheBirds.com. And we
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: just wrapped day 17 of Eagles training camp, which is
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: a bit of a bummer because it was the final
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: day of Eagles training camp. And so the season is
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: upon us, which is always exciting and fun. I look
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: forward to chronicling that. But training camp is my favorite
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: part of the season. Along with the storytelling of the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: regular season, of course, but it really marks the start
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of the season. That's where you can kind of see
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: things come together. You learn a lot about where certain
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: players are, and there's naturally going to be some stories
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that come from that. But it was a great camp.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It was fun. And I just want to get this
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: out of the way before we get into the practice observations.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I greatly appreciate those who listen to this podcast daily.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I greatly appreciate those who follow along with my practice
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: observations on InsideTheBirds.com.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Your support means a lot.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And I look forward to delivering you the best Eagles
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: coverage that I can. And I'm very much looking forward
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to doing that for you all for another season. Let's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: get to the practice updates. The Eagles opened with 7-on-7s today,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and the safeties were Drew McCuba and Marcus Epps. The
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: secondary was Quinion Mitchell, Cooper DeGene, and Reek Woolen. Reek
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Woolen broke up a pass on a slant to Devontae Smith.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Then Jalen Hurts overshoots Dallas Goddard in the end zone.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts then goes to Devontae Smith for a touchdown.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And on that play, and I'm just going through my
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: notes here, I found it relevant.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: E.J. Jenkins and Will Shipley came in the lineup for that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Reek Wallen smothered Darius Cooper in the back of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: end zone. It was in the right corner there to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: force an incompletion. Then Tanner McKee was first up with
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the second unit. The receivers were Makai Lemon, Quez Watkins,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and Danny Gray. Makai Lemon catches a short pass with
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Smile Mondan in coverage. Then Tanner McKee, he hit the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: fly swatter. He was targeting tight end Stone Smart, but
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was unable to get it to him. And then Tanner
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: McKee hit Tank Bigsby for a touchdown. Moving forward to 11-on-11s,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the safeties were Cooper DeGene and Drew Makuba.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: They were in base to start.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: The linebackers, Jahad Campbell and Zach Baughn, Saquon Barkley got
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a carry to start this session right off to the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: right side, but J.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Lux Hunt got a hand in there.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: If it were a tackling situation, he might tackle Saquon
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: for either a loss on the play or no gain
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Again, another example of J.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Lux Hunt just flashing and being so instinctive and reactive
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and having a read on what the offense is looking
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to do. He just has smart player. And again, I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: can't emphasize this enough. It seems like everything's really starting
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to come together for him. The athletic part was always there,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: but the mental part of his game is something that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think can be overstated because he's really shown
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of signs of growth and development there.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And then it looked like.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: McKay Lemon was a little late coming in on the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: second play and, But Devontae Smith catches a pass with
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Marcus Epson coverage. Will Shipley comes in at running back
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: on the play there early. And Michael Carter, he ended
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: up coming in along with Drew Makuba on that play
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: when he came in. Jalen Hurts hits Hollywood Brown along
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the sideline with Reek Wohan defending. The second team offensive
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: line at left tackle, John Ujukwu. left guard drew Kendall center,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Jake majors, right guard, Willie Lampkin and right tackle Fred Johnson.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is first up there and he zips one
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in to Elijah Moore with Ambry Thomas covering. It looked
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: like Ambry Thomas was pushing from behind. He got a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: little bit, uh, it looked like he got, maybe got
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: there a little early, but it was an incompletion. Um,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Then Andy Dalton, in a surprise move, shows that he
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: is a little bit spry, though that's not his game,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to be clear. He keeps it up the middle, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on that particular play, Micah Morris, the Eagles rookie, comes
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in at left guard. Now, I just want to highlight
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: something here, because Landon Dickerson was available for this practice,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and he started, and he got a lot of the reps,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but Drew Kendall also worked in at left guard with
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the first team. And I think that's something to not
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: necessarily keep an eye on, but be mindful of. File
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that away that the Eagles have gotten Drew Kendall quite
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a bit of work at left guard. So if there
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: were a situation to arise in a game situation, you're
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: not going to have to do.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: A lot of toggling there. It's something that you have
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a player who's ready to step in and go.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So a lot of cross training this summer with offensive
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: line coach Chris Cooper, which he kind of intimated when
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we spoke to him in the spring. And you see
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that whether it's Willie Lampkin, Drew Kendall, Jake Majors. John Ujuku,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: who has bounced around from both tackle spots and guard.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of mixing and matching there, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it's all to prepare these players to be able to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: step in at a moment's notice. And I think that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that is going to be hugely critical, especially when you're
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: trying to do things on the fly in a game situation.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I should pause here because I got a little bit
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: ahead of myself. I want to give you guys the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: practice report for Day 17. Not practicing. Markel Bell, thumb leg.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Ja'Corian Bennett, knee. Grant Calcaterra, back. Tight on Eli Stowers.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Hamstring. Safety Cole Wisneski. Concussion. Limited Jonathan Jones. Shoulder.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: A pretty light practice report for the final day of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: training camp, which I think really speaks to Nick Sirianni
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and the way that he structures training camp. He just
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: has a really good feel and a good read on
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: his team.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He knows what works.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: It's something that I think he's always drawing from past experiences,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and it's not really a surprise. It's always difficult, to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: be clear, to be able to have a relatively clean
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: injury report.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But I think at this stage of.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: The game, where... the Eagles have had a lot of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: active practices. The first and second team have gotten quite
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a bit of work. That is a, a pretty good, um,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a pretty good mark there to not have an extensive
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: practice report. So as we left off with Andy Dalton there,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I want to, I want to highlight just the, the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: overall athleticism, a punter Braden man. And, you know, you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: think of that with a punter, um, You don't necessarily
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: correlate that with being athletic or having a strong arm,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: but Braden Mann and one rep, he delivered a tight spiral,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: showed some arm strength there. He launched the pass. They
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: were simulating a kickoff, and he throws it to the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: end zone, and it is fielded by Will Shipley. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I think that that was just a fun moment of practice.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Then he was punting them from there on out. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: also the punt returners, Makai Lemon, Britton Covey, Cooper DeGene,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and Quez Watkins.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: No Elijah Moore with that group.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I took a look over and he was kneeling with
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the other wide receivers who were kind of observing that drill.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Something to, maybe something to monitor.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Because I always thought that if he were to make
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the roster, Elijah Moore, and I'm not quite there yet.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you would think that special teams would really factor in,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and he has gotten work as a punt returner this summer.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So it's something that he has done, hasn't had a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: lot of experience in a game situation, but I was
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: keeping an eye out to see if he was going
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to be in that group, and for whatever reason, today
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: he was not. The Eagles got back to it with
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: 11 on 11s, and Jalen Hurts tried a deep shot
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to Devontae Smith. Really good coverage there from Cooper Dejean
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: down the left sideline there.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: The left corner. Jalen Hurts hits Makai Lemon over the middle.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Short game there.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: He keeps it himself on the next play around the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: left side for a touchdown. The second team offensive line
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: remained unchanged when they rolled it back out. But Damian Pierce,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: who has been injured quite a bit this summer, he
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: had the hamstring that kept him out when it looked
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: like he was sort of gaining some traction.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: He got some work.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He had a nice run up the middle, showed some
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: good burst. And that was really sprung by Willie Lampkin.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I really focused in on the interior there. And Willie
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Lampkin got out and really showcased his athleticism and power
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: The linebackers, Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Is working with the second team, but you also saw
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Chance Campbell and Smile Mondin working in there.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I'm someone who really likes to wear jeans, but it's
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: becoming really, really hard these days to find jeans that
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: aren't tight-fitting or restricting, especially for someone who's active. I
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: like to go to the gym. I'm always out and about.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Even when I'm not active and I'm just sitting in
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: a chair, you start to get that feeling of being
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: constricted and restrained, and I hate that feeling. Perfect example.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Last year, I did a fantasy football draft. It took
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: three hours, and I could just feel myself moving around
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: my chair, adjusting myself, but everything changed when I found
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the perfect gene. It's a me just right. It doesn't pinch.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: It stretches nicely. Here's what makes these genuinely different from
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: other stretch jeans.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: They don't look like stretch jeans. They look like sharp,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: classic denim. They're so polished that you can go straight
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: from like a tailgate parking lot Right to a dinner
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: reservation without anybody clocking you as that guy who just
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: spent four hours in a lot. I just recently did
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: another fantasy football draft and I wore the perfect jean
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and I was just so comfortable. Look, these things are
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: flexible enough that you can actually move around in them.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: You can bend to get that drink in the cooler.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: You can sit in a chair for a few hours.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: You can stand for the anthem at a ball game.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: You can get up and guard somebody in a pickup
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: game wearing the perfect jean without even hearing a seam
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: threatened to give out.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: All right.

• 11:09
  Speaker 3: football season is coming up soon. And I know that's
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: going to be so many late nights for me. You
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: know how many times the Eagles are on prime time
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: and I'm not going to be going to bed until
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: after well after midnight. And that means the next day
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I can probably count the number of cups of coffee.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I would drink on two hands. But not anymore. That's
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: because for a while now, I've been using Ultra Pouches.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: It is instant focus in a pouch. These pouches are
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: completely nicotine-free and caffeine-free. And boy, do I get a
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: great jolt from these truly clean pouches. Plant-powered pouches that
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: are designed to sharpen your mind and lift your energy

  Speaker 3: all without caffeine, nicotine, or crash. I'm also seeing these everywhere.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: They're blowing up, so I know I'm not the only one.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Did you know it was possible to feel this energized
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and focused without nicotine or caffeine? I certainly didn't. Also,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I'm less edgy and less anxious compared to people who
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: use nicotine or even when I drink a lot of coffee.

  Speaker 3: I will totally be using them when I'm burning the
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: candle at both ends, trying to record, write, produce podcasts.
• 12:15

  Speaker 3: our show and tell them Inside the Bird sent you.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Gushiken and Maximus Pulley got work there at safety. They
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: haven't gotten a lot of work there. They didn't get
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: much in the joint practices and training. really in the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: open practice at Lincoln Financial Field. They didn't get a
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: ton of work there either. So this is going to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: be a big game for them. They're going to see
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of reps, but I thought Gushikin did some
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: nice things in today's practice.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Tanner McKee comes in.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: He hits Cameron Latu on a slant with Gushikin in coverage,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: but he drops the pass. Looked like Latu created some space.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Gushikin was a little bit behind him, but he was
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: closing and Cam dropped the pass. You don't want that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to happen. Pulley thuds Stone Smart after a short grab.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Pulley plays with good toughness and tenacity. I like watching
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: him play. I haven't seen a ton of him in
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: practice of late, as I outlined, but he does play
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: with some urgency. I thought in the first preseason game
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: he showcased his special teams ability, and I look forward
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: to seeing him and Gushikin in an expanded role in
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the final preseason game. Tanner McKee hits Eric Ezukamma. For
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, and I mentioned this before, for those wondering,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and for at least this week it matters, among the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: bottom of the roster wide receivers, I thought that Quez
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Watkins earlier in camp was a player that probably separated
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: himself from that, from that tier.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: But I think through the.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Full body of work, Eric Azucanma was someone who I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: thought made the most of his limited snaps that he
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: got in training camp. And you could see the speed
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and he does offer some kick return upside. So maybe
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a practice squat spot could be in the cards for him.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see on that. Tanner McKee
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: nearly connects with Brandon Hayes. Um, and he, uh, Isaiah
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Bolden was defending there. And then we have the secondary there.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: The outside corners were Ambry Thomas and Isaiah Bolden. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Sean Wade, the veteran, was manning the nickel spot. Sean
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Wade forcing a couple fumbles in the preseason. All three
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: of the players that I just mentioned are really long
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: shots to make the roster. But they are potentially vying
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: for spots on the practice squad. Sean Wade was flagged
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: on a McKee pass in the end zone to Brandon Hayes.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Brandon Hayes has been on and off the roster. For
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: those wondering, he initially participated in Eagles rookie minicamp on
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a tryout basis, and he's been called upon when they
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: needed to sign a receiver. Whenever they were light on numbers,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten many reps at all this summer. There
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was a second and five scenario later on in practice,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and after Saquon Barkley had a nice catch and run,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts throws behind Hollywood Brown with quinion mitchell in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: coverage and then jalen hurts through wide of johnny munt
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: with quinion mitchell and nolan smith in the.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Vicinity there.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I paid attention to andy dalton's series that he got
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and he had a deep shot to darius cooper it
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: was deflected cooper dropped it that was a second drop
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: in as many practices you normally sure-handed has really strong
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: hands but Michael Carter was there for the interception. Michael
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Carter has had three interceptions this training camp. And Darius Cooper,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: on his drop in the open practice at Lincoln Financial Field,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Quinion Mitchell made a diving attempt and nearly was able
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to come up with an interception there. You'd like to
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: see him be able to come up with some of
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: those and not potentially put the offense in a bad.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Spot in the open practice. But it did cost him.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: In today's practice where Michael Carter capped what I believe
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: has been a pretty impressive summer with an interception there.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: He rips one.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Andy Dalton rips one in the middle to Stone Smart.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I thought that was his best throw of the day.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: It hit him right in stride. Michael Carter had tight coverage,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: but it was right where Stone Smart could grab it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Then he threw short right to Britton Covey. Kapina Gushikin
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: was there to tag him. Then he hits Quez Watkins
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone for a touch.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell from my vantage point. I was standing
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: on the bleachers there up the top, and I couldn't
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: tell if Quez was out of the back of the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: end zone or not. But he found Quez in the back.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Gushikin was in coverage there, sort of trailing on the play.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Andy Dalton then goes to Danny Gray on sort of
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a corner route there. Ambry Thomas is flagged. Good pass
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: rush there from Keyshawn James Newby.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: And another.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: A fun note at the end of practice when they
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: were going through a catch circuit, Howie Roseman, Eagles general manager,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: was firing off passes to defensive players as they were
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: sort of in this assembly line going through this gauntlet
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and catching passes. So Howie's got a little bit of
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: an arm on him. You know, I think he deserves
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit of credit there. I thought there were
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: some tight throws. But, yeah, I mean, this was just
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a really fun training camp to chronicle. We have to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: submit our 53-man rosters, those of us who cover the team.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: And this is.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: One of the more challenging roster predictions, at least in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: my view, over the last three, four years.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I think I finished third or fourth last year.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: It's been a while since I won in 2023, but
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: this is a tough one, and I'm going to spend
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: way too much time pondering these final.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Spots, 50, 51, 52, 53.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Do they keep a long snap or do they not?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: How many linebackers do they need? What are they going
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to do with who are Bernard and Joshua Wieru? What
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: are they going to do at corner where the picture
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: is still a little cloudy, Jonathan Jones? being out for
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of the summer certainly added another layer of
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: confusion and how they see that room right now.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Hey, Philly fans, game day is stressful enough. Parking, traffic,
• 18:41

  Speaker 1: Up So a lot needs to be determined and not
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: much will be determined in the final preseason game. It's
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: all about the body of work, what these guys have
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: done throughout the entirety of the summer, the work being
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: put in on a daily basis, the daily deposits that
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you often hear referred to, and they take that full
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: scope into the equation when they're coming down with these decisions.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: And you can.
