The DiCecco Daily: Insights On Eagles-Rams Matchup, Dallas Goedert Trending In Right Direction · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome into this edition of the Czech O'delli. It's Andrew
• 0:14
  de Checo. It's a Thursday podcast. Tomorrow's the final day
• 0:19
  that the Eagles will be on the practice field, and
• 0:21
  then it's.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Gonna be Eagles Rams one o'clock.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And if you're as I mentioned on the previous podcast,
• 0:29
  if you're a fan, and if you do what I do,
• 0:32
  you're looking forward to these one o'clock games because when
• 0:35
  you get right to it. And two, I mean, if
• 0:38
  you're a reporter, you're not going to be at the
• 0:40
  at the stadium working until two or two thirty. So
• 0:43
  it's gonna be great. It should be an awesome game.
• 0:46
  And the Rams are bringing in a high powered offense
• 0:49
  with Matthew Stafford, Pooguinakua Deavonte Adams.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: They have Tyler Higbee, Kyron Williams.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Their offensive line leaves some areas of opportunity there that
• 0:59
  I think the Eagles can exploit potentially. And from a
• 1:03
  defensive standpoint, they have a lot of young pieces that
• 1:07
  fly around to the football. I like Byron Young, I
• 1:09
  like Jared Vers, Braden Fisk. They have Kobe Turner, who
• 1:13
  I think is an underrated interior lineman Cam Kinchin's the
• 1:17
  safety out of Miami. I liked him coming out. Cam
• 1:20
  curls there. So they have a lot of players. But
• 1:22
  I think the big matchup in this game I'm gonna
• 1:25
  get in. This is going to be solely an injury podcast,
• 1:27
  but just a preview AJ Brown versus Emmanuel Forbes.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure you remember that matchup from.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: A couple of seasons ago where Forbes, who has a
• 1:37
  wiry build, went up against AJ Brown and AJ has
• 1:41
  about forty pounds on him maybe, and he just out
• 1:45
  muscled him. He was physical, got inside Emmanuel Forbes's head.
• 1:49
  You could tell because he seemed to lack confidence. You
• 1:52
  could tell by his body language throughout the game. And
• 1:55
  this is an opportunity where if you're the Eagles and
• 1:57
  you're looking to get that offense back on track in
• 1:59
  terms of the passing game, this gives you a good
• 2:02
  opportunity to get right. But let's not lose sight of
• 2:05
  the fact that sakwon Barkley last season in two games
• 2:08
  against the Rams, accumulated four hundred and sixty two rushing yards.
• 2:13
  That's right, four hundred and sixty two rushing yards. So
• 2:16
  this also could be a big Saquon Barkley game. Go
• 2:19
  back to the well until the Rams proved they can
• 2:21
  stop it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But it's going to be a really interesting matchup, and
• 2:24
  a fun one at that. I can't wait to see
• 2:27
  what the Eagles offense per in particular, is able to
• 2:30
  do and capitalize on some of what I believe are
• 2:33
  are shortcomings regarding the Rams.
• 2:37

• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the injury report here.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Thursday's practice had another welcome addition to an upgrade in
• 5:20
  their status but fully participating defensive tackle Jaalen Carter with
• 5:24
  the shoulder, and I should mention that Jalen Carter, in
• 5:27
  case you forgotten, training camp also dealt with that at times,
• 5:30
  So perhaps that contributed to what Vic Vangielm alluded to
• 5:34
  being not quite in the shape at.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Least in his standards.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think that that is something that's going
• 5:41
  to work itself out in time, but he was a
• 5:43
  full participant, so positive news there. Limited tight end Dallas
• 5:48
  Goddard with the knee, quarterback Tanner McKee right thumb, running.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Back Will Shipley with the oblique.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That is the upgrade because yesterday, Wednesday, the first day
• 5:57
  of the league, was practiced. During the week, Shipley did not participate.
• 6:01
  He was sidelined, so he's working in a limited capacity
• 6:05
  and we'll have to wait and see that. That seems
• 6:07
  to be trending in the positive direction for Sunday. You
• 6:11
  obviously aren't going to rush her to put the player
• 6:14
  at harms, you know, in harm's way, and if there's
• 6:17
  a potential of reaggravation this early coming back, they're not
• 6:20
  going to activate them. But I think that's really encouraging
• 6:23
  news for a running back that offers a different skill
• 6:27
  set from his from the other players in the room.
• 6:30
  So that's something certainly to keep an eye on. Friday
• 6:34
  will be a big one Friday's practice to get a
• 6:36
  better sense of where he might be and then, of
• 6:39
  course the final injury report comes out later in the day.
• 6:44
  Not practicing today. Defensive tackle Byron Young with a forehead laceration.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. But notice him right away.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He was wearing a bucket hat and standing there while
• 6:55
  the players were stretching. But at this point in the season,
• 7:00
  I think the way that this injury report lines up,
• 7:03
  you feel pretty good about that. The Eagles do a
• 7:05
  really good job of prioritizing player health and doing the
• 7:08
  different There's a method to the madness and how they
• 7:12
  orchestrate practice and how Nick Sirianni crafts his week to
• 7:16
  week schedules and even in training camp. Because they're largely
• 7:20
  a really healthy team and you look across the NFL,
• 7:23
  that's not always the case. So that's something that also
• 7:25
  shouldn't be taken for granted, the way the Eagles are
• 7:27
  able to avoid some of these extensive injury reports based
• 7:32
  on how they approach the day to day. But let's
• 7:35
  look at the elevations this week, because on Thursday I
• 7:39
  had a really well, I should say on Wednesday, I
• 7:41
  had a really good conversation with tight end and who's
• 7:44
  been moonlighting at fullback, Cameron Latu, who I've mentioned quite
• 7:47
  a bit on this podcast, and that some of the
• 7:51
  quotes from my interview with Cam are now on Inside
• 7:54
  the Birds dot Com. I wrote a two piece story
• 7:57
  as sort of a notebook, if you will, where I
• 8:00
  talked to about Latsu in his role as NFL debut,
• 8:03
  and then I also spoke to long snapper Charlie Hewlett
• 8:06
  about the penalty that he had, but also about the
• 8:10
  operation and learning Jake Elliott and what the key was there.
• 8:13
  Because Jake Elliott's three for three from field goals at
• 8:16
  fifty yards or more perfect on his extra points, I
• 8:20
  don't think that that should be understated considering the season
• 8:23
  that he had last year, and there was a lot
• 8:25
  of folks out there that were quick to write him off.
• 8:29
  But and I know it's early, right now, it looks
• 8:32
  like he's on a very good path back to prominence.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to talk to Charlie a good interview.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I've had a chance to talk to him two or
• 8:40
  three different times, whether it be training camp or early
• 8:43
  in the season, and a good interview, very insightful, and
• 8:47
  it is really good at sort of explaining explaining things.
• 8:52
  And you know that the way that he that penalty
• 8:55
  was called, that was something that he had done for
• 8:58
  his ten years, So you'll have to go back and
• 9:00
  read the quote and also what he had to say
• 9:02
  about establishing the timing and learning Jake and the cadence
• 9:06
  and all of that, and really it comes down to
• 9:09
  acclimating to the kicker and learning his rhythm and adapting
• 9:14
  off of that. But those are two sort of leftover
• 9:18
  good quotes that I had that I think answers a
• 9:20
  lot of questions that I've gotten since the last Sunday's
• 9:22
  game about Latsu in his role.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: He talks about what his approach was going into the game.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I mentioned what Nick Sirianni said, he called him a
• 9:31
  physical dude and what that meant to him. And he
• 9:34
  also illustrated the block that he had on Charles Amtahue.
• 9:38
  And I think that he's a really good story because
• 9:41
  drafted in the third round in twenty twenty three, played
• 9:43
  in his first NFL game last Sunday, and I thought
• 9:46
  he did a nice job. Played twenty one snaps in total,
• 9:49
  six on offense, fifteen on special teams.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: That's a good story.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And I think he's a player that when you look
• 9:55
  at this week in terms of the elevations, he makes
• 9:58
  a lot of sense. They you will need that blocking
• 10:01
  prowess that Van Sumer and s type of player that
• 10:05
  they had plans for, so it seems like Cameron Lattu
• 10:09
  would be a logical choice to get boosted up onto
• 10:12
  the fifty three in terms of a practice squad elevation
• 10:16
  this week. We'll have to wait and see about the
• 10:18
  other one. Because Marcus Epps has already been elevated twice.
• 10:22
  He gets one more elevation, and then if the Eagles
• 10:25
  want to get him back on the fifty, get him
• 10:27
  back into the game day mix, they're going to have
• 10:29
  to sign him to the fifty three. So just a
• 10:31
  little bit of a peek behind the curtain and some
• 10:33
  of the roster gymnastics that could be taking place, and
• 10:38
  that's going to do it for this edition of the Checkodaily.
• 10:41
  A quick one today Tomorrow sort of rounds out the week.
• 10:44
  We'll see what the practice what the practice statuses hold.
• 10:47
  Nick Sirianni talks Friday morning as well, So I'll have
• 10:51
  another checko Daily later in the day, and that's going.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: To do it for this episode, and I'll talk to
• 10:56
  everybody tomorrow. Have a good one
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: On
