ITB: How Greenard Injury, Stowers Slow Development Will Impact Eagles Roster Decisions · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

0:09
Speaker 1: Inside the Birds is back.
0:14
Speaker 2: What's going on?
0:15
Speaker 1: It is Jeff Mosher, Adam Kaplan. We are in the
0:18
Speaker 1: middle of the week. We got the Eagles coming up
0:21
Speaker 1: on a first preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens.
0:24
Speaker 3: But there's some news.
0:25
Speaker 1: Coming out of training camp, and Adam, you and I
0:27
Speaker 1: want to hit on some really pressing subjects coming out
0:31
Speaker 1: of Vic's press conference and of course what's going on
0:34
Speaker 1: at OTAs before we really get into the preseason game
0:37
Speaker 1: later this week. The first bit of news, and it's
0:40
Speaker 1: not new news, but it's to me something that puts
0:43
Speaker 1: it more into perspective, and that's really about Jonathan Grenard.
0:48
Speaker 3: You know, he started camp on PUP.
0:50
Speaker 1: I know you and Andrew discussed it in the belief
0:52
Speaker 1: he'd be out two to four weeks because of the
0:54
Speaker 1: peck strain that he had from weightlifting. Right, well, we're
0:58
Speaker 1: already two weeks saying a little bit more about next
1:01
Speaker 1: week will be week three, and Vic Fangio said, this
1:04
Speaker 1: guy is weeks at least away from being able to
1:08
Speaker 1: come back, and Vic basically put the gabage on and
1:11
Speaker 1: even coming back before camp. So Adam, that would mean
1:14
Speaker 1: that the season would start with Grenard having absolutely no practice,
1:18
Speaker 1: no camp, and he's already coming off last year's shoulder injury.
1:23
Speaker 1: So I think it's a it's a it's an unfortunate
1:27
Speaker 1: thing for him. For the Eagles, he was the biggest
1:28
Speaker 1: offseason edition, But really it kind of puts into question
1:32
Speaker 1: what their edge rotation, A, what they're gonna do from
1:35
Speaker 1: a fifty three man standpoint at that position and be
1:38
Speaker 1: what it's gonna look like at for the first few
1:40
Speaker 1: weeks of the year.
1:41
Speaker 4: All Right, Grenard is coming back from major shoulder surgery.
1:44
Speaker 4: Let's call it like it is. Okay, Then he strained
1:46
Speaker 4: his spectru muscle working out and we don't know if
1:49
Speaker 4: to say if it's the same side as he had
1:50
Speaker 4: the surgery.
1:51
Speaker 3: That concerns me.
1:53
Speaker 4: And I was talking to a former NFL general manager
1:54
Speaker 4: at Ravens practice on Tuesday, UH, and he's like, we
1:59
Speaker 4: were just talking about coming back from soldier shoulder, triceps,
2:04
Speaker 4: all sorts of of injuries with your upper body. He goes,
2:08
Speaker 4: you can't really left, you can't on that side. You
2:11
Speaker 4: just can't do it whatever, whatever it's been impacted, And
2:15
Speaker 4: the worst would be if he had the shoulder, let's sakes,
2:18
Speaker 4: his left shoulder surgery and the right pack.
2:20
Speaker 2: Think about how the hell.
2:21
Speaker 4: Is he gonna left?
2:22
Speaker 3: Right?
2:22
Speaker 4: So, so the question is whether not whether he'll be
2:25
Speaker 4: ready week one. How he said it perfectly said it.
2:28
Speaker 4: He was pretty clear he's gonna be ready for week one.
2:29
Speaker 4: But as you said, it didn't mean it doesn't mean
2:31
Speaker 4: he's going to practice leading up well during the he
2:34
Speaker 4: he won't be able to play week unless at least
2:35
Speaker 4: get some practice time in a week one he has to.
2:38
Speaker 4: But think about it, he'll have not practiced since last season. Yeah,
2:46
Speaker 4: that's that's like, that's not good.
2:48
Speaker 1: No, that is significant. But I mean again, this was
2:51
Speaker 1: this was the key off season edition. You traded a
2:54
Speaker 1: couple of third round picks for him. He was your
2:56
Speaker 1: replacement for Jalen Phillips. And when you don't have him,
2:59
Speaker 1: or if you don't have one, you're back to that. Yes,
3:02
Speaker 1: Jelex Hun's had a good camp, Right, you're back to
3:04
Speaker 1: that rotation of Hunt and Nolan Smith who's been inconsistent.
3:08
Speaker 1: And now you're you're looking at Arnold Van Ketty slash
3:12
Speaker 1: a j and Panessa. If he makes it so, it
3:14
Speaker 1: makes you wonder does Vic come out of that three
3:17
Speaker 1: edge shall.
3:18
Speaker 3: And say I gotta play more guys. He should.
3:21
Speaker 4: He should be, particularly in the hot weather as we're
3:23
Speaker 4: going to get early in the season, generally in the
3:26
Speaker 4: low to mid eighties is And obviously they played Washington
3:29
Speaker 4: Week one, so it's an East coast game. We know
3:32
Speaker 4: how it is in September until we get to late
3:33
Speaker 4: September and then it gets really beautiful. But we should
3:36
Speaker 4: mention during for their transactions. The one that I found
3:40
Speaker 4: interesting is they brought an old face back. I don't
3:42
Speaker 4: know how many times Shawn Jackson has been here, but
3:45
Speaker 4: he's back. He's back, and he's an edge rusher, that's
3:47
Speaker 4: what he is. He's not a linebacker. He's an edge rusher,
3:50
Speaker 4: that's right. So that would speak to it that they
3:54
Speaker 4: could use another body for a preseason right, you know,
3:57
Speaker 4: because typically they don't play the starters. We'll talk more
4:00
Speaker 4: about that for Friday show, about what the plan looks
4:02
Speaker 4: like or what we're hearing or so forth. But I
4:05
Speaker 4: do want to talk about and we'll get back to
4:07
Speaker 4: the second. The de Kwon right transaction caught me by
4:12
Speaker 4: major surprise, and that major it caught me by surprise.
4:14
Speaker 4: I did not see that, as I told you, when
4:16
Speaker 4: it happened the fact that he didn't even get a
4:19
Speaker 4: chance to be in the preseason game tells you how
4:21
Speaker 4: far he was away. Not only would he not be
4:22
Speaker 4: ready this season, they think he could help him, He
4:25
Speaker 4: wasn't even think about it.
4:26
Speaker 2: He could be he could have been claimed off waivers.
4:29
Speaker 4: Right, Like that's that's that's that's concerning to me, Like, wow,
4:33
Speaker 4: what happened to him? Because it's funny, we never actually
4:36
Speaker 4: we went up never talking about it because he didn't
4:38
Speaker 4: seem like he's make any plays and he apparently wasn't.
4:41
Speaker 1: And he immediately gets claimed off waivers by the Browns.
4:43
Speaker 1: So I mean, you know, other teams had him on
4:45
Speaker 1: the radar. And what's fascinating to me, and we'll get
4:48
Speaker 1: into this a little bit later in the show. Also
4:50
Speaker 1: is that the tight end picture is sort of like
4:53
Speaker 1: screwy for the Eagles right now as they look for
4:57
Speaker 1: the right combination of guys to be able to be
5:00
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man that can either catch block
5:03
Speaker 1: both maybe contribute on special teams. So you would have
5:07
Speaker 1: thought that they would have taken it down to the wire.
5:09
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe there's something behind the scenes that
5:11
Speaker 1: we haven't heard or found out yet. But I thought
5:14
Speaker 1: that was a really strange early goodbye for a guy
5:17
Speaker 1: who we said could be I remember saying, this guy,
5:20
Speaker 1: I could see him being like the darling of training
5:22
Speaker 1: camp because it's explosive. You can make a bunch of
5:25
Speaker 1: catches and things like that, and he's not even gonna
5:27
Speaker 1: get that opportunity.
5:29
Speaker 4: You know what's crazy about him being claimed is that
5:32
Speaker 4: they have Harold Fannon, who was great as a rookie
5:34
Speaker 4: tears of pass catching right. They have former Eagle Jack
5:38
Speaker 4: stall Okay who who's a y ten end and line blocker.
5:42
Speaker 4: They drafted two tight ends, albeit late third day picks.
5:45
Speaker 4: They had they Blake white Hart, who's been on the
5:49
Speaker 4: roster on off the roster about three years. But they
5:53
Speaker 4: want to developmental tight end. It's not like they have
5:55
Speaker 4: no well they could get they could guess that right.
5:58
Speaker 4: Obviously didn't do well because the Equals cut him this early.
6:02
Speaker 4: But that's it's just I cannot believe, like you wouldn't
6:05
Speaker 4: like you wouldn't least let him practice, like go to
6:07
Speaker 4: the it get into the a preseason game on Saturday.
6:11
Speaker 4: And by the way, Jaden Roberts, one of the three
6:14
Speaker 4: players they cut on Monday got claimed. The undirected free
6:17
Speaker 4: agent guard got claimed by the Falcons.
6:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what it reminds me of a
6:21
Speaker 1: little bit, just in like, you know, the anticipation and
6:25
Speaker 1: for not to even make it this far. Is the
6:27
Speaker 1: Carson strong ordeal from a couple of years ago, the
6:30
Speaker 1: Nevada quarterback who obviously had a lot of knee issues
6:33
Speaker 1: and everything like that, but he had a strong arm
6:35
Speaker 1: and everybody thought of him as a quarterback and he
6:37
Speaker 1: didn't even make it out of what like OTA's I
6:40
Speaker 1: think even he had.
6:42
Speaker 4: He had existing injury problems which were concerned by the way.
6:45
Speaker 4: Another fun fact, there were only two players claimed on
6:49
Speaker 4: on Tuesday. They were both ex egals crazy Lajah Mitchell.
6:56
Speaker 4: It's just you feel for him. It's I haven't seen
6:59
Speaker 4: any like he got put on IR on Monday. Yep,
7:02
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've seen luckily, and he passed
7:03
Speaker 4: through waivers on claims she went he he actually he
7:07
Speaker 4: he went on IR.
7:09
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying anything like this before.
7:11
Speaker 4: This is insane that the type of injuries and it's
7:14
Speaker 4: a shame for him.
7:15
Speaker 2: But just to move on here, yeah, that one, but
7:18
Speaker 2: now they're back.
7:19
Speaker 4: They only have Eagles only have seven tight ends left
7:21
Speaker 4: in the roster, which is I know, part of what
7:22
Speaker 4: we're gonna talk about today.
7:23
Speaker 3: Yeah.
7:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, Also on the injury from coming out of VIC
7:27
Speaker 1: and the defensive injuries. You know, Jonathan Jones has been
7:31
Speaker 1: out of practice a little bit here now, and we
7:33
Speaker 1: thought this was we knew.
7:35
Speaker 3: We said this was a.
7:36
Speaker 1: Very important camp for the Eagles in terms of backup
7:40
Speaker 1: corner positions because it's been perilous for them. They've been
7:44
Speaker 1: fortunate to not have injuries in the last few years.
7:48
Speaker 1: But here you have a case where Jonathan Jones is
7:50
Speaker 1: a veteran. You got to see what he's got left
7:52
Speaker 1: now he's out of practice for a little bit. Trey
7:55
Speaker 1: Castro Fields is a name that all of a sudden
7:58
Speaker 1: got bumped up the chart. Mac McWilliams. Vick actually mentioned
8:01
Speaker 1: mac McWilliams really maturing.
8:03
Speaker 3: I think one of them.
8:05
Speaker 1: I think Castor Fields was doing well and then he
8:07
Speaker 1: also had to leave practice early. So it's kind of
8:11
Speaker 1: a weird situation for backup corner right now, Adam, because
8:14
Speaker 1: this was supposed to be a real fact finding summer
8:17
Speaker 1: about Jonathan Jones.
8:19
Speaker 4: It was he's their third corner he is. He is
8:21
Speaker 4: not even he hasn't been challenged, so he's got a
8:23
Speaker 4: shoulder entry. By the way, it sounds like he's gonna
8:26
Speaker 4: he's gonna be out a bit. Doesn't mean he won't
8:28
Speaker 4: be ready week one, but he's.
8:29
Speaker 2: Not playing this week for sure. Yeah, So yeah, that's
8:31
Speaker 2: not good.
8:32
Speaker 4: Like he's a thirty three year old corner which he
8:34
Speaker 4: turns in September. That means your thirty three in NFL years.
8:36
Speaker 4: That's the way that the clubs look at it. That's
8:39
Speaker 4: a problem. That's a problem with Jaicoinn Bennett number twenty
8:41
Speaker 4: three boy talk about a preseason game really needing.
8:46
Speaker 2: To help him.
8:47
Speaker 4: He has not got Mac mcwiams is ahead of him.
8:49
Speaker 4: That's what Vick is really saying. M Hm, that's not
8:52
Speaker 4: good man, That that's a that's a problem. So that
8:54
Speaker 4: that's a concern of mine, that that they just don't
8:57
Speaker 4: have the quality of depth right now at corner like
8:59
Speaker 4: this is this is one of our trip this is
9:01
Speaker 4: one of our training camp questions. Body of death the corner,
9:04
Speaker 4: and it's clearly not good enough, particularly with Jones getting hurt.
9:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you listen to Vic who is the
9:10
Speaker 1: most honest of all of the people who have.
9:13
Speaker 3: A microphone in front of them.
9:15
Speaker 1: He was asked the boat about Castro Fields and about
9:18
Speaker 1: McWilliams clearly had more praise for the maturation and what
9:22
Speaker 1: he about for mac McWilliams.
9:24
Speaker 3: He's liked what he has seen.
9:25
Speaker 1: I mean he he even said, I'd like to tell
9:27
Speaker 1: you what I've been telling him, but it's not clean
9:29
Speaker 1: for you know, I can't see that. It's one of
9:31
Speaker 1: the camera, which is you know, his way of saying, yeah,
9:35
Speaker 1: I like what he what he's been doing. I mean
9:36
Speaker 1: he gave Fields the coach speak praise. He's done a
9:41
Speaker 1: good job. He's been here a while, he's competing, He's
9:43
Speaker 1: picked it up. Fields has really good size. I mean,
9:46
Speaker 1: he's got He's played in the NFL before. I think
9:48
Speaker 1: he's played twelve games. He's with the command I know
9:51
Speaker 1: he's he was with the forty nine ers when he
9:53
Speaker 1: came to the Eagles, right because they love X forty
9:56
Speaker 1: nine ers.
9:56
Speaker 3: We talk about that all time.
9:57
Speaker 1: But I believe he played his games with the Manders
10:00
Speaker 1: and the Panthers.
10:01
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, I know's yeah.
10:02
Speaker 2: He's yeah. The Eagles were his fourth team.
10:05
Speaker 4: Been on IR a lot he's twenty seven years old,
10:08
Speaker 4: six round and twenty two get another former forty nine
10:11
Speaker 4: er draft pick.
10:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, he but he's got good size.
10:15
Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's there.
10:17
Speaker 2: I don't want to call it dire straits, but they
10:19
Speaker 2: just don't know.
10:22
Speaker 4: They don't know who they If they keep a fifth quarter,
10:23
Speaker 4: they have no idea who it is, and they don't
10:24
Speaker 4: know who the fourth corner is. So they've they've got
10:27
Speaker 4: they've got a fact fighting mission through these three training
10:29
Speaker 4: these three three preseason games.
10:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think it's safe to say mac
10:34
Speaker 1: McWilliams and castrow Fields are going to get a whole
10:36
Speaker 1: lot of reps against the Ravens. And it'll be you know,
10:40
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and I know you've been at Baltimore's camp.
10:42
Speaker 1: They've got some receivers who are looking pretty good there.
10:44
Speaker 1: So it'll be a good opportunity to get these corners
10:47
Speaker 1: and tested against some guys who've been playing some pretty
10:50
Speaker 1: good ball.
10:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll talk about that Friday morning for a Friday
10:53
Speaker 4: morning show which will preview the game. But the guy, unfortunately,
10:57
Speaker 4: Jacobe Lang, got all the play on Tuesday's practice.
11:01
Speaker 2: When Nate Wiggins got hurt.
11:02
Speaker 4: They got they went up for a ball, deep deep
11:05
Speaker 4: ball in the left corner of the end zone and
11:08
Speaker 4: they got tangled up and Nate Wiggins it didn't look
11:11
Speaker 4: good and it just didn't look good. But Choby, Jacoby Lane,
11:15
Speaker 4: apparently it's been other than other than the Flowers, the
11:19
Speaker 4: most impressive receiver training camp.
11:21
Speaker 3: Uh yeah.
11:22
Speaker 1: Every at the end of every day, I try to
11:24
Speaker 1: go through each team's like beat reporter and I have
11:26
Speaker 1: a list on Twitter, oka and it was starting to
11:30
Speaker 1: get to a point where I was thinking Jacoby Lane
11:32
Speaker 1: was like the Hank Basket of the of the because
11:35
Speaker 1: it seems like every day he's making unbelievable catches.
11:39
Speaker 3: So, uh yeah, and we'll see.
11:42
Speaker 1: So yeah, he has a big deal, right, And he's
11:45
Speaker 1: not fastest guy in the world, but he's's a contested
11:47
Speaker 1: catch merchant.
11:48
Speaker 4: So he's let's put it this way, he runs better
11:51
Speaker 4: than you probably think. He's not explosive, but he's not
11:54
Speaker 4: slow and he's not stiff. But getting back to uh,
11:59
Speaker 4: this situation with the Eagles that this preseason game. Man,
12:03
Speaker 4: I haven't looked forward to a preseason game, but I
12:04
Speaker 4: don't know how many years are actually looking forward to it,
12:06
Speaker 4: to be.
12:07
Speaker 3: Honest, with you.
12:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, it should be interesting, all right. So
12:11
Speaker 1: the tight end situation.
12:12
Speaker 2: All right, let's get back there.
12:14
Speaker 1: This is a little bit of like projection projection because
12:16
Speaker 1: we're just looking forward. There's still plenty of camp time
12:19
Speaker 1: and time for things to settle it out. But we
12:22
Speaker 1: know this, We know that Dallas Goddard and Eli Stowers
12:25
Speaker 1: are taking up two spots on the fifty three. And
12:28
Speaker 1: we also I feel very safe and I'm sure you
12:30
Speaker 1: do too in saying this. Right now, Eli Stowers, he's
12:35
Speaker 1: struggling with the physicality of the game.
12:37
Speaker 3: He's still new to the position.
12:38
Speaker 1: He's not ready to play in the NFL right now,
12:41
Speaker 1: and I don't think three more weeks of camp is
12:44
Speaker 1: gonna make him all of a sudden stamp his fingers
12:46
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be out there ready to contribute. We
12:48
Speaker 1: already said in the offseason he's not going to be
12:50
Speaker 1: a contributor week one. Don't look for this guy to
12:52
Speaker 1: be like one of your rookie of the year. He's
12:55
Speaker 1: already behind the eight ball, and now it's even more so.
12:57
Speaker 3: He's struggling.
12:58
Speaker 1: So you've got to keep those two eyes. You know,
13:01
Speaker 1: the Eagles want to go. They may have carry four quarterbacks.
13:03
Speaker 1: They may carry a ten or eleven offensive linemen. They're
13:06
Speaker 1: gonna have to carry a lot of tackles and ends
13:09
Speaker 1: on defense, edges on defense.
13:11
Speaker 3: So you want to go light at tight end.
13:14
Speaker 1: But you've got two locks and one of them is
13:17
Speaker 1: not even gonna be able to I don't even think
13:19
Speaker 1: elist hours could be active for a week one or
13:22
Speaker 1: week two. I mean, we've got he's got to like
13:24
Speaker 1: have a major turn of the page to even be that.
13:28
Speaker 4: So because it's hard to put it, it's hard to
13:30
Speaker 4: put him on the field because he just can't block.
13:32
Speaker 1: Yet, right, and he's not a special teamer, Yeah, a
13:35
Speaker 1: bon a five one.
13:37
Speaker 3: So what do you do? You're the Eagles.
13:40
Speaker 1: You want you're trying to incorporate an offense where you're
13:42
Speaker 1: gonna play a lot of twelve personnel and you're looking
13:45
Speaker 1: for good combination of pass catchers blockers, because when you
13:49
Speaker 1: put Grant Calcaterra on the field, you lose a lot
13:52
Speaker 1: in blocking. If you put yeah, you lose a lot
13:54
Speaker 1: of blocking. You put Johnnymunt on the field, you almost
13:57
Speaker 1: lose anything in pass catch and he can catch once
14:00
Speaker 1: a while, but you're so.
14:02
Speaker 3: You're in a bind.
14:03
Speaker 1: If you're sean man and you're looking for the right combination,
14:05
Speaker 1: knowing that your GM, your head coach, when they put
14:08
Speaker 1: this roster together, they're not keeping five tight ends on
14:10
Speaker 1: the fifty three.
14:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, four is the most you would keep. And we
14:15
Speaker 4: know that god Ar's on it. Stours is an absolute
14:17
Speaker 4: lot because he's a second round pick. Now, as we've
14:21
Speaker 4: come to learn, cam Lats has an impressive camp. Now,
14:26
Speaker 4: Andrew and I were talking about this off the air.
14:28
Speaker 4: There's is their scenario where a Lotsu wins the wide
14:32
Speaker 4: job over Johnny Munt. There absolutely is. Month's not making
14:36
Speaker 4: a lot of money. He's also a guy that's vested.
14:39
Speaker 4: You could work it out with the agent and say, hey, listen,
14:41
Speaker 4: we we think Johnny deserves.
14:44
Speaker 2: To be here, but we're we're in a roster crunch.
14:48
Speaker 4: We ready owe him seven to fifty one point five million.
14:54
Speaker 2: How about we want him here.
14:56
Speaker 4: He's got three elevations, well we'll use one or two,
14:59
Speaker 4: or he might save one, but we want him here
15:01
Speaker 4: this fall. Would you be agreeing to it? Whereas with
15:04
Speaker 4: Latsu you can do that. He's he's not vested the
15:06
Speaker 4: subject to waivers if you cut him and you don't
15:09
Speaker 4: like they did a good job here of scouting a
15:11
Speaker 4: lot to like. The guy's a player. There's no question
15:12
Speaker 4: the guy's a player. Last your staff did not use
15:15
Speaker 4: him the correct way. We outline it by tape. Wasn't opinion,
15:18
Speaker 4: as Greg says, it's it's it's based on tape. This
15:20
Speaker 4: is what it looks like. Doesn't look right. But he's
15:23
Speaker 4: had a really good camp. So we'll see what happens
15:26
Speaker 4: in the preseason games. Obviously that's going to tell us more.
15:29
Speaker 4: But I know where you're going here. So you've got
15:31
Speaker 4: Calcataro doesn't block very well. Lat Two blocks well, and
15:33
Speaker 4: he's he's a better athlete than Month. He's much younger, obviously,
15:37
Speaker 4: right A. J. Jenkins Okay, not good enough, Stone smart,
15:40
Speaker 4: not a blocker. There's your seven mm hmm. You can't
15:44
Speaker 4: keep more than four, preferably you only keep three. And
15:47
Speaker 4: you've got the ability to have money on the practice squad.
15:49
Speaker 4: If he agrees to it with Goddard, Stours and Latto
15:52
Speaker 4: as your as your three on the on the fifty three,
15:54
Speaker 4: that makes way more sense than some of these other
15:57
Speaker 4: Calcutaro to me.
15:58
Speaker 1: Well, I would just say this though, I would just
16:00
Speaker 1: say this because I've thought about that.
16:02
Speaker 3: That mad to me made the most sense.
16:03
Speaker 1: But if you're playing a game Week one and Dallas
16:06
Speaker 1: Goddard's limping off the field, you don't have a pass
16:09
Speaker 1: catching tight end. I mean LAT two is not a
16:12
Speaker 1: true pass catcher.
16:13
Speaker 4: Like, oh, well, if you have stours and active is
16:15
Speaker 4: what you're.
16:15
Speaker 3: Saying, yeah, correct, which is I am assuming what you
16:17
Speaker 3: would have?
16:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it almost makes me wonder if you know
16:21
Speaker 1: how we always say like the initial fifty three is
16:24
Speaker 1: not the same as the Week one fifty three, and
16:27
Speaker 1: it doesn't. See, you may have to keep cal Katerra
16:30
Speaker 1: on the fifty three until things develop, and then he
16:35
Speaker 1: may not make it through the season because you have
16:37
Speaker 1: to make moves to.
16:37
Speaker 3: Reshape tight end.
16:38
Speaker 1: But you need a guy who can catch passes at
16:40
Speaker 1: that position pretty reliably, especially if you're gonna play a
16:43
Speaker 1: lot a twelve personnel.
16:44
Speaker 4: Well guess what, well again, you said week one, you
16:48
Speaker 4: could also do the roster shuffle with Calkutra as well.
16:52
Speaker 2: You can do both of them. You don't need to.
16:55
Speaker 4: You don't need to keep both on the fifty three.
16:57
Speaker 4: Just Calcatara. Yeah, he's a really good athlete, but at
17:00
Speaker 4: the point of a tech, he gets blown off the football.
17:02
Speaker 4: Of course you show this often on inside the tape.
17:06
Speaker 4: It's like, I don't get it. And he too, is
17:09
Speaker 4: not making a lot of money. The guarantee on his
17:10
Speaker 4: contracts less than a million. See, the Eagles have so
17:14
Speaker 4: much flexibility this year because if you go through I
17:17
Speaker 4: just started to put together in my initial fifty three,
17:20
Speaker 4: I'm pretty I'm pretty in tune with There are six
17:24
Speaker 4: to eight spots open, usually only like three or four.
17:27
Speaker 2: Sometimes two.
17:29
Speaker 4: It's because it's not that the bottom of the roster's
17:31
Speaker 4: not good enough. It's that there's some intriguing players but
17:35
Speaker 4: they haven't quite made it yet. And these guard spots,
17:38
Speaker 4: which we'll talk about down the line here, there are
17:41
Speaker 4: so many interior offensive line jobs.
17:42
Speaker 2: They don't know.
17:43
Speaker 4: They're like, they know that Drew Kendl's on the roster,
17:45
Speaker 4: he's the top back up interior lineman. That's all they
17:48
Speaker 4: know that. That's all they know. They know Fred Johnson's
17:50
Speaker 4: a backup left tackle. Okay Bell for now is a
17:54
Speaker 4: backup right tucking. That's all they know about the offensive line.
17:56
Speaker 4: You can't just keep eight.
17:58
Speaker 1: If I could create sh app card to best represent
18:01
Speaker 1: my family, it would be a cup of coffee, but
18:04
Speaker 1: not in a mug. It would be in one of
18:06
Speaker 1: those styrofoam to go cups, because basically that is our family,
18:10
Speaker 1: always hitting those coffee places with the styrofoam cups. You
18:14
Speaker 1: know them very well and nothing makes my kids happier
18:17
Speaker 1: than hitting.
18:18
Speaker 3: Up those places early and often.

22:08
Speaker 4: But you gotta keep ten.
22:12
Speaker 1: By the way, and we'll talk about this more down
22:14
Speaker 1: the road. But because Bell has been practicing at second
22:16
Speaker 1: team left tackle, I wonder if they're going to try
22:18
Speaker 1: to play him there a little bit left in the
22:20
Speaker 1: preseason games, just to see how he comes along, because
22:23
Speaker 1: he's been doing that for the last few practice ever
22:25
Speaker 1: since Lane Johnson came back.
22:27
Speaker 2: They moved him. Yes, yes, yes, they did move him there.
22:32
Speaker 1: I mean you and I both know we've been told
22:33
Speaker 1: by a lot of can't move like a left tackle,
22:37
Speaker 1: but they're trying.
22:39
Speaker 4: Well, what's interesting, Bell line up exclusively be at right
22:42
Speaker 4: tackle on OTAs until two days ago, only at right
22:45
Speaker 4: tackle training. Can then Lane comes back? Okay, you want
22:48
Speaker 4: to cross training, you want to see what it looks like.
22:50
Speaker 4: He's he's just not a left tackle, not right now,
22:53
Speaker 4: He's not agreed.
22:54
Speaker 1: That's why I'll be interesting if they throw him out
22:55
Speaker 1: there in a preseason game to see if he can
22:58
Speaker 1: handle it or not.
22:58
Speaker 3: It'll it'll be our first well.
23:00
Speaker 4: But see on your point, remember they know Fred could
23:03
Speaker 4: play right tackle because he filled him for Lane last year,
23:06
Speaker 4: did a yeoman's job.
23:07
Speaker 2: He did fine, he's a backup tackle.
23:09
Speaker 4: Okay, it wasn't great, but he he did. Okay, But
23:12
Speaker 4: what they don't know is if my Lota got hurt?
23:18
Speaker 2: Are they Fred's not a great athlete, neither's Belle.
23:22
Speaker 4: Maybe you just want to see if Belle see where
23:25
Speaker 4: he's at, just to just take a look. You never
23:27
Speaker 4: know until you try it. And unfortunately Cam Williams is
23:31
Speaker 4: it's he's so far behind who he started right tackle
23:35
Speaker 4: for Lane in week seventeen because the game didn't mean anything. Sure,
23:38
Speaker 4: we eighteen whatever the hell was?
23:39
Speaker 2: Yeah? We eighteen game seventeen.
23:41
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, if I'm the Eagles, i am getting
23:44
Speaker 1: for if Fred Johnson please what you probably I'll get
23:46
Speaker 1: him out early. I'll then I'll get Belle in a
23:48
Speaker 1: right tackle, and then I'll get that kid who's impressing
23:50
Speaker 1: everybody in at left tackle and see.
23:53
Speaker 2: Yeah a Djuku, yeah, john O Duku.
23:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been a nice surprise.
23:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
23:58
Speaker 3: I accidentally I was talking to this kid.
24:00
Speaker 1: I was talking about this kid did the checko at
24:02
Speaker 1: training camp the other day, and I pronounced his name wrong,
24:05
Speaker 1: and he said, and the check was looking at me
24:07
Speaker 1: like a Jomo?
24:08
Speaker 3: What are you talking?
24:08
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, you call Joma.
24:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:11
Speaker 3: I must have said some combination of a Quoru and
24:13
Speaker 3: a Joe. Oh no, remember who the edge that they
24:15
Speaker 3: had last year?
24:17
Speaker 2: Omo Concro.
24:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I combined Oconcro and uh and and uh
24:22
Speaker 1: Jomo together to get this guy, and I completely butchered it.
24:26
Speaker 1: But anyway, so yeah, so, but the point is tight
24:29
Speaker 1: ends the conundrum right now, and the more I think
24:32
Speaker 1: about I've also thought, does this help Johnny Wilson, who
24:36
Speaker 1: can be your third receiver eleven personnel on the inside,
24:40
Speaker 1: but kind of give you that blocking presence that a
24:43
Speaker 1: tight end could give you to not have make the
24:45
Speaker 1: team because he can do.
24:46
Speaker 3: A little bit of both. It's all well, stuff they
24:48
Speaker 3: have to figure out.
24:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, plus a goal line. You could have a man
24:51
Speaker 4: play action. Let him roll right, Let Jalen roll right,
24:53
Speaker 4: wrote to Wilson in the corner. Because he's sixty six. Yeah,
24:56
Speaker 4: there are things he can do and he's recovered nicely
24:59
Speaker 4: from his major leg injury knee injury.
25:01
Speaker 3: M hm.
25:02
Speaker 2: So yeah, they they've got a lot of it's they've
25:05
Speaker 2: got some tough decisions.
25:06
Speaker 4: I mean, logic, Morris played himself into a serious consideration.
25:10
Speaker 4: But problems special teams. You got the Hollywood Brown five
25:15
Speaker 4: million guarantee. He hasn't made a lot of plays, but
25:17
Speaker 4: we're gonna learn more in preseason. You know, he's gonna
25:19
Speaker 4: get much more of a chance. Uh So, yeah, they're
25:23
Speaker 4: there are a j Panesso who's had a good camp.
25:25
Speaker 4: He's opened eyes our guy Chance Campbell. So there's a
25:31
Speaker 4: lot to be decided. And and and finally, Maximus Pulley
25:35
Speaker 4: is another guy. We'll talk more about Friday. Yeah, So yeah,
25:39
Speaker 4: it's it's interesting, no doubt.
25:40
Speaker 1: The other the other dB UH is playing all right
25:43
Speaker 1: too chicken. Now they're all you know, all these guys
25:46
Speaker 1: are doing this against third versus third, So it's not
25:48
Speaker 1: that big of a deal. But like you say, there's
25:50
Speaker 1: an open path away and guys are guys look pretty decent,
25:53
Speaker 1: so it should be interesting. I just thought that the
25:56
Speaker 1: corner that the situation with Grenard is a little bit
25:59
Speaker 1: of a red flag at the moment, especially if we
26:01
Speaker 1: find out that the peck strain is the same area
26:04
Speaker 1: as the shoulder, because that's that could be connected. I mean, honestly,
26:08
Speaker 1: I know I'm not saying the injury was connected, but
26:10
Speaker 1: I'm saying, is you call up a shoulder injury, then
26:12
Speaker 1: you're doing something else weightlifting, you're putting strained and you
26:15
Speaker 1: strain the pack. It reminds me of how the triceps
26:18
Speaker 1: for for Nolan Smith he had remember he had a
26:21
Speaker 1: shoulder injury injury, then he had a triceps there, and
26:24
Speaker 1: then he had another issue with his shoulder and triceps
26:27
Speaker 1: last last year.
26:28
Speaker 3: So you know that's a position.
26:30
Speaker 4: It's not good and he's not it's also been through
26:33
Speaker 4: a lot of lower body injuries.
26:36
Speaker 2: It's not good. It's just not good.
26:38
Speaker 4: And they're lucky that they've got pretty good quality depth there.
26:42
Speaker 3: Yep, it's just.
26:44
Speaker 2: Now we'll see.
26:45
Speaker 4: We don't know about Gnard earlier early on the season,
26:47
Speaker 4: what it's going to look like with him, how many
26:50
Speaker 4: snaps he can handle, We don't know. Condition he's in right,
26:53
Speaker 4: just in terms of game conditioning, physical condition, Who the
26:56
Speaker 4: hell knows. Yeah, and then you know, Epinessa's been a
26:59
Speaker 4: good stay man. He's another back end of the roster guys.
27:02
Speaker 4: The guy's got plenty of starting experience.
27:05
Speaker 2: He's a power end.
27:05
Speaker 4: That's his that's a coaching term. He's really a run defender,
27:11
Speaker 4: but who's gotten better as a pass rusher. So it's
27:14
Speaker 4: gonna be fascinating to see what happens in this game.
27:16
Speaker 4: As I said this, this could be kind of a
27:18
Speaker 4: fun game.
27:18
Speaker 2: On Saturday evening in Baltimore.
27:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
27:22
Speaker 1: Hey, I wanted to ask you because Vick's mentioned that
27:24
Speaker 1: a couple of people have when you've watched practice, do
27:27
Speaker 1: you think you've noticed a faster looking or a slimmer
27:30
Speaker 1: looking Jalen Hurts more explosive Jalen Hurts, and.
27:33
Speaker 2: He did say he's moving better. Yeah, I don't. I didn't.
27:36
Speaker 2: I didn't notice. Yeah, I wasn't looking at that.
27:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard because he's always been a pretty good runner.
27:40
Speaker 1: I did notice the practice I went through, which was
27:42
Speaker 1: two hours he did. He did run quite a bit,
27:45
Speaker 1: and you know, you can't The thing is you can't
27:47
Speaker 1: tell is that the defense is not allowed to hit him,
27:49
Speaker 1: so that they just let up. You know, he went
27:52
Speaker 1: to the sideline once to get a first down. Nolan
27:54
Speaker 1: Smith was sort of edging him, but no one kind
27:56
Speaker 1: of didn't look like he was going at him because
27:58
Speaker 1: why would you, He's the quarterback and hit him. So
28:01
Speaker 1: but interestingly, they did run a low red zone play
28:05
Speaker 1: and this goes to show that like they're not lying
28:07
Speaker 1: when they say they're going to keep some things from
28:09
Speaker 1: the old offense in. But they ran a low red
28:11
Speaker 1: zone play where they spread the receivers out against Nicol
28:15
Speaker 1: They found man they took. They motioned Barkley out of
28:18
Speaker 1: the backfield into a slot and that made the linebacker
28:21
Speaker 1: go with Barkley, so only one linebacker on the field.
28:24
Speaker 1: We've seen this a million times. Usually that's a quarterback.
28:27
Speaker 1: Draw from a spread formation right, and it was and
28:29
Speaker 1: Hertz kept it and of course all they had to
28:31
Speaker 1: do was have the lineman kick out and block the
28:34
Speaker 1: linebacker and he scored and I thought, wow, that was
28:37
Speaker 1: there was that play. I'm like, he sure got in
28:40
Speaker 1: there pretty quickly. So I thought that was kind of
28:42
Speaker 1: interesting in terms of just him looking pretty fast, pretty
28:47
Speaker 1: splot spry, explosive getting that run game going again, Yep.
28:52
Speaker 2: Real quick. I would say Jay look heavier.
28:56
Speaker 4: In fact, I remember we were watching tape with Greg
28:58
Speaker 4: and he did look a little bit heavier running.
29:00
Speaker 2: He just didn't look as explosive.
29:02
Speaker 3: I thought he looked reluctant. Even last year.
29:05
Speaker 1: He was not running at times where I thought he
29:07
Speaker 1: would ordinarily run. So I don't know what his mind
29:11
Speaker 1: was or what was going on, but he But I
29:13
Speaker 1: know if you're thinking about it though, if you're reluctant,
29:17
Speaker 1: it might make you look yeah yeah, yeah.
29:20
Speaker 4: No, he looks fine. He looks fine for the timing
29:22
Speaker 4: things coming, it's coming. It's you know, it's better by
29:25
Speaker 4: the day. It's still major work in progress for him.
29:28
Speaker 4: I mean, it's funny. I was at the Giants practice
29:30
Speaker 4: on Monday and then you see it with Jackson Dart.
29:34
Speaker 3: M h.
29:34
Speaker 4: He's just he's a playmaker. He's an explosive runner. He
29:38
Speaker 4: throws off schedule a lot, he bails when he shouldn't bail.
29:42
Speaker 4: But he's God makes plays that you can make, like
29:45
Speaker 4: you go wow, and then the next play throws across
29:47
Speaker 4: his body gets deflected, should have been picked off.
29:49
Speaker 2: Like there you go, that's Jackson Dart right there.
29:51
Speaker 1: You see all of it, you know, Yeah, so Jackson
29:55
Speaker 1: and no nutshell, no, no doubt.
29:56
Speaker 2: Man. By the way, they moved to West Coast. They
29:58
Speaker 2: moved to West Coast with Matt Naggie.
30:00
Speaker 1: That's what they're right, right, although they don't they have
30:02
Speaker 1: Greg Roman there, which.
30:03
Speaker 4: Is like, you know he's there because they're gonna have
30:05
Speaker 4: a fullback and he's They're going to corporate power run
30:09
Speaker 4: that's what Greg Roman is. So they're gonna mix Naggi's
30:12
Speaker 4: spread West Coast with Roman. No, the Romans a senior
30:16
Speaker 4: offensive system. But he's gonna have a lot of say
30:17
Speaker 4: because Patrick Riccard is there.
30:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, full back.
30:22
Speaker 2: And how by the way, how crazy is it the
30:24
Speaker 2: Ravens don't have a fullback.
30:26
Speaker 3: I know that is really nuts.
30:28
Speaker 1: I mean it's like decades of having a fullback there, right,
30:30
Speaker 1: wasn't Yuschak there before he went to San Francisco?
30:33
Speaker 3: Was he? Yeah? Correct? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah crazy.
30:36
Speaker 1: So so I don't forgive me if I get a
30:39
Speaker 1: little bit like trembly. But when you tell when I
30:41
Speaker 1: hear like the Matt Nagy eleven personnel spread, but then
30:45
Speaker 1: the Greg Roman and John Harbaugh twelve personnel tight, I
30:49
Speaker 1: think that.
30:50
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:50
Speaker 1: It makes me think of Doug's last year Cooks and
30:52
Speaker 1: the Eagles, where he's got Rich Skangarello in one ear
30:55
Speaker 1: and Marty morning Wagon the other ear.
30:57
Speaker 4: Right, But here's the thing, Doug is kind of elbowed
31:02
Speaker 4: and not its too higher. Yeah, someone from the West
31:05
Speaker 4: coast tree, it's someone to be innovative, and yeah, I know,
31:08
Speaker 4: I don't he didn't appreciate it, you know, he'd kind
31:11
Speaker 4: of bristled and and and and some talk about that
31:14
Speaker 4: they had to do this and that and the other.
31:15
Speaker 4: But getting back to this as we finish, uh, getting
31:18
Speaker 4: back to the Eagles, there's situation is interesting because there
31:22
Speaker 4: there are a lot of interesting developmental offensive linemen.
31:24
Speaker 2: We talked about that for a number of years.
31:26
Speaker 4: Where are these guys, well, Jake Majors, Drew Kendall, Willie Lampkin,
31:30
Speaker 4: who's coming on Finally it's taken enough time, but he's
31:32
Speaker 4: coming on.
31:33
Speaker 2: H Ojuku. Who's a guy they got from the Titans.
31:36
Speaker 4: There was a street free agent who was who was
31:38
Speaker 4: a sign It's an undrafted free agent.
31:40
Speaker 2: But it's at the combine. But unfortunately Miles hintons he's
31:45
Speaker 2: he needs a miracle to make it. Hollin Pearce is
31:48
Speaker 2: another guy needs you know, he needs to practice squad
31:51
Speaker 2: of seasoning or I mean the only way you can
31:53
Speaker 2: make is if he had a great preseason, but he
31:55
Speaker 2: could be better on the practice wing. Cam Williams, you know,
31:57
Speaker 2: Cam Williams is on the outside.
31:58
Speaker 4: Look at him right now. He's got he's got a
32:00
Speaker 4: really pick it up to have a chance. But the
32:02
Speaker 4: cool thing is with Majors Bell, Kendall, Lampkin, they finally
32:07
Speaker 4: have developmental offensive line.
32:09
Speaker 3: Finally.
32:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's very pot The Eagles might be responsible
32:13
Speaker 1: for like a pack of brontosauruses being available after cutdown.
32:16
Speaker 1: Dam I mean, when you got guys like Holland Pierce
32:18
Speaker 1: and Cameron Williams and who's.
32:20
Speaker 3: The other guy? Even hitting hints not a small guy.
32:23
Speaker 3: I mean these guys. These guys are all like six'
32:25
Speaker 3: five and.
32:25
Speaker 1: Over they're all three.
32:26
Speaker 3: Twenty you, know they're big dudes man.
32:30
Speaker 1: Here especially remember we said if you Put Holland pierce
32:34
Speaker 1: next to who wasn't Like Makai beck.
32:36
Speaker 2: And herself Or Bell Bell, Yeah MARK. L.
32:39
Speaker 1: Bell, Yeah it's like they take up an entire city.
32:41
Speaker 2: BLOCK i Wonder.
32:43
Speaker 4: I'd have to look at the cobine numbers to see
32:45
Speaker 4: who's bigger and.
32:46
Speaker 2: Longer but.
32:49
Speaker 4: It's kind of cool Because jeff AND i are into
32:52
Speaker 4: kind of how things should put, together AND i think
32:54
Speaker 4: it's really cool that they finally have guys, that you know,
32:59
Speaker 4: what because last year they didn't have those, guys and
33:02
Speaker 4: it hurt them With jurgons And dickerson's, injuries it really
33:04
Speaker 4: hurt them for. Sure now they have them And Drew
33:06
Speaker 4: kennell with the added weight game that doesn't guarantee you,
33:09
Speaker 4: anything but it can. Hurt and his technique is, better he's,
33:13
Speaker 4: stronger he looks. Better he's been crosstrated center and. Guards
33:17
Speaker 4: so they got something going on. Here but to finish that,
33:20
Speaker 4: off we're gonna learn a lot About Chris cooper because,

35:20
Speaker 4: you missed, it we answered a lot of questions that
35:21
Speaker 4: we had pre pre, camp and we've got about seventy
35:25
Speaker 4: five percent of an. Answer we still need, more which
35:27
Speaker 4: of course you're you're only were.
35:29
Speaker 2: You, know we're.
35:30
Speaker 4: Not we even hit the first preseason, game but figures
35:33
Speaker 4: starting round into shape a little. Bit we're starting to
35:35
Speaker 4: learn a lot About, okay this, battle but still a
35:37
Speaker 4: lot of battles are wide. Open Although Michael carter's Pushing
35:41
Speaker 4: apps finally like, that now we finally have some. TRACKS
35:43
Speaker 4: i Know andrew. DID i Had carter beating him. OUT
35:46
Speaker 4: i felt like a chump the first. WEEK i was, like,
35:48
Speaker 4: wow IT'S i don't know what fixed fascination is with,
35:51
Speaker 4: ass but this is this is not this has taking
35:53
Speaker 4: way too. Slow carter's better than. This, yeah now we're
35:55
Speaker 4: starting to feel, it and this is why you play
35:58
Speaker 4: those preseason. GAMES i here's the question for do you
36:00
Speaker 4: think do you Think apps will play in the preseason
36:02
Speaker 4: because he's technically a starter right.
36:03
Speaker 2: NOW i don't.
36:04
Speaker 3: KNOW i don't have answer a great.
36:05
Speaker 1: QUESTION i, mean he doesn't have to because they already
36:09
Speaker 1: they know what they've got IN, EPs so he doesn't have.
36:12
Speaker 1: To it's one of those things that we've seen this
36:15
Speaker 1: before where guy doesn't play in the preseason and the
36:17
Speaker 1: public starts to think that that means he's a, lock
36:19
Speaker 1: and then you, realize, no that that doesn't mean he's a.
36:21
Speaker 1: LOT i, remember Remember Devin, Uh Devin, white the linebacker
36:24
Speaker 1: when he didn't play that. Preseason, uh he didn't play
36:27
Speaker 1: at all the. Preseason eybody, thought, oh he's definitely on,
36:29
Speaker 1: team and he made, it but he really wasn't gonna
36:31
Speaker 1: be factoring into the.
36:32
Speaker 3: Plans SO i don't.
36:34
Speaker 1: KNOW i don't think they'll need to play, him but
36:36
Speaker 1: maybe they will because they don't have that many bodies
36:39
Speaker 1: of the, position so he may have to play a quarter.
36:42
Speaker 2: Yep so all, right good.
36:43
