The DiCecco Daily: Intel From 10th Practice Of Eagles Training Camp · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

0:08
Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everyone? Welcome into another episode of
0:11
Speaker 1: the check Odaly. It's Andrew de Checko, Eagles beat reporter
0:14
Speaker 1: for insidethirds dot Com, and we just wrapped Day ten
0:18
Speaker 1: of Eagles training camp. A very eventful practice. It was
0:21
Speaker 1: a green day, that's what it was characterized as, and
0:26
Speaker 1: it went just shy of two hours and there was
0:29
Speaker 1: a lot of situational periods, team periods. They even had
0:33
Speaker 1: one on ones. We're gonna get into all of that,
0:36
Speaker 1: but before we do that, let's first get into the
0:39
Speaker 1: practice report, because there's a lot of the usual suspects
0:43
Speaker 1: that I've been talking about for the past several days,
0:46
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about what that means and how long
0:50
Speaker 1: they've been out. But wide receiver Danny Gray concussion, outside
0:56
Speaker 1: linebacker Keishawn James Newby ankle, cornerback Jonathan Jones, wide receiver
1:02
Speaker 1: McKay lemon hamstring, running back Damian Pierce hamstring, wide receiver
1:06
Speaker 1: Davonte Smith hamstring, wide receiver Johnny Wilson knee, and safety
1:11
Speaker 1: Cole was Nesky hamstring. Cole was Nesky has missed the
1:15
Speaker 1: last eight practices and it's been six apiece for McKay
1:19
Speaker 1: Lemon and Davonte Smith limited for the Eagles, Linebacker Chance
1:23
Speaker 1: Campbell with the groin, and wide receiver Britton Covey with
1:27
Speaker 1: a hamstring. Of note, cornerback Quinyon Mitchell appeared to get
1:33
Speaker 1: dinged up. Maybe it was during the one on ones
1:37
Speaker 1: because he did have an interception along the sideline, and
1:40
Speaker 1: I think right after that I didn't really see him,
1:43
Speaker 1: though he was present on the sideline watching practice, and
1:47
Speaker 1: after practice he was catching passes on a far field,
1:50
Speaker 1: So we'll get more of an update there with Quinnyon
1:53
Speaker 1: Mitchell replacing Quinnon Mitchell in team period. After that was
1:58
Speaker 1: second year cornerback Mac McWilliam. Practice began with a special
2:02
Speaker 1: team session, and I paid a close attention to Jake
2:07
Speaker 1: Elliott and just the overall operation because let's not forget
2:10
Speaker 1: rookie long snapper Rocco Underwood is a player that's kind
2:14
Speaker 1: of under the microscope right now. Though the Eagles don't
2:16
Speaker 1: have another long snapper, there's been moments in camp more
2:20
Speaker 1: often than not where his snaps have been a little erratic.
2:23
Speaker 1: I think is fair to say, but this was a
2:26
Speaker 1: very windy period of practice. Jake goes six for six
2:29
Speaker 1: on his field goal opportunities. I believe thelong there was
2:32
Speaker 1: of fifty yards. You like to see that the kick
2:35
Speaker 1: returners back there, Tank Bigsby, Darius Cooper, Brittain Covey, Elijah Moore,
2:40
Speaker 1: and Brandon Hayes notably, And this could just be one
2:44
Speaker 1: day and they wanted to add another player to the mix.
2:46
Speaker 1: Will Shipley was not part of that group. I will
2:49
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that and see if that continues
2:52
Speaker 1: when the Eagles are back on the practice field at
2:54
Speaker 1: least open to the media. On Thursday. Will was mostly
2:58
Speaker 1: in the coverage aspect of things, but I really liked
3:04
Speaker 1: watching the one on ones which kicked off shortly after
3:08
Speaker 1: practice officially started. And what was interesting here is that
3:13
Speaker 1: there were two notable you know, one on ones going
3:19
Speaker 1: on on different fields. And for those who don't know,
3:22
Speaker 1: my favorite one on one periods of training camp are
3:25
Speaker 1: the running backs in past protection with linebackers. And so
3:29
Speaker 1: I was on one field, I saw that that was
3:31
Speaker 1: happening on another field, but the wide receiver defensive backs
3:35
Speaker 1: was happening on the field that I was at. And
3:38
Speaker 1: so I get to about the midway point between the
3:41
Speaker 1: two fields and I'm able to see a little bit
3:43
Speaker 1: of both. But to start things off, Riek Wohen versus
3:48
Speaker 1: Dan Tavian Wicks Don Tavian Wicks It wins on a slant.
3:52
Speaker 1: It was a nice tight completion where he was able
3:54
Speaker 1: to get it and shield his body, use his body
3:57
Speaker 1: to shield Rieke Wohan. Elijah Moore beat Michael Carter on
4:04
Speaker 1: an out route or no, I'm sorry, he beat Cooper
4:07
Speaker 1: Dejeen on an out route along the sideline. Elijah Moore,
4:12
Speaker 1: by the way, really really good foot quickness and short
4:16
Speaker 1: area quickness. He's not someone that is going to really
4:19
Speaker 1: threaten vertically, although there was a moment in practice in
4:23
Speaker 1: which he did, which we'll get into later, but more
4:25
Speaker 1: often than not, he's more of a short to intermediate
4:28
Speaker 1: type of receiver. He knows how to get open. He's
4:31
Speaker 1: a very savvy route runner, but his feet are His
4:35
Speaker 1: foot quickness is something that you need to see to believe.
4:39
Speaker 1: But he was able to win on that one. Then
4:43
Speaker 1: you had. Then I was watching the running backs and
4:48
Speaker 1: the linebackers and Tank Bigsby versus Jehad Campbell, Tank Bigsby
4:53
Speaker 1: Whift on that one. Then I pivoted back and I
4:56
Speaker 1: watched the wide receiver dB and Eric as Zukama one
5:01
Speaker 1: down the field versus cornerback Tarique castro Fields, who Vic
5:05
Speaker 1: Vangio spoke highly of or he or he praised. But nevertheless,
5:11
Speaker 1: castro Fields was beaten on the play and Asukama was
5:14
Speaker 1: not able to come up with it. The next play
5:16
Speaker 1: that I was talking about, what was I'm referring to
5:21
Speaker 1: the Quenya Mitchell play that maybe aggravated something. But Quinjon
5:28
Speaker 1: was fa facing wide receiver Hollywood Brown. Jalen Hurts was
5:31
Speaker 1: the quarterback. In this scenario, it looked like Quinyon Mitchell
5:35
Speaker 1: essentially ran the route for Hollywood Brown. He picks off
5:39
Speaker 1: the pass along the sideline, and then I don't recall
5:41
Speaker 1: seeing Quinyon Mitchell participating at any point thereafter. Smile Mandon
5:48
Speaker 1: won against Carson Steele in this particular drill where they're
5:52
Speaker 1: running back and the linebacker are going head to head
5:55
Speaker 1: there and pass protection. Carson Steele didn't fare particularly well
5:59
Speaker 1: and this period. And it's interesting because on Saturday he
6:04
Speaker 1: was the player who delivered a thunderous splits pick up,
6:07
Speaker 1: but in this particular day or in this case, he
6:11
Speaker 1: wasn't great. Neither was Smile Monden Junior. For what it's
6:14
Speaker 1: worth But going back to the wide receiver DBS. One
6:19
Speaker 1: on one, Andy Dalton hits Quez Watkins on a go ball.
6:23
Speaker 1: Quez had a jump on cornerback Jacorian Bennett and ended
6:27
Speaker 1: up as a touchdown in the right corner of the
6:31
Speaker 1: end zone. Drop right in the bread basket. Nice to
6:34
Speaker 1: throw from Andy Dalton there and Quez Watkins. Say what
6:36
Speaker 1: you will about him. He can still run. He hasn't
6:39
Speaker 1: gotten a ton of opportunities, but the ones that he's
6:41
Speaker 1: had he's largely taken advantage of. I think that there's
6:45
Speaker 1: a world where if he's able to put his best
6:47
Speaker 1: foot forward in the preseason, there may be a team
6:50
Speaker 1: out there that's inclined to bring him onto their roster
6:53
Speaker 1: as a depth receiver. I think he's had a quality camp,
6:58
Speaker 1: especially for someone who's further down on the depth chart.
7:02
Speaker 1: Then you get to Will Shipley versus Jahade Campbell. That
7:04
Speaker 1: was sort of a stalemate and Will has definitely developed
7:09
Speaker 1: as a pass protector. But Jahide Campbell, looking at it
7:12
Speaker 1: from a big picture perspective, has you know, he really
7:17
Speaker 1: thrived in this particular period. He just has really good
7:20
Speaker 1: length and athleticism and twitchiness, so he's always going to
7:24
Speaker 1: find a way to more often than not, anyway to
7:30
Speaker 1: just have his way with the running back and pass protection.
7:37
Speaker 2: If I could create a cash App card to best
7:40
Speaker 2: represent my family, it would be a cup of coffee,
7:43
Speaker 2: but not in a mug. It would be in one
7:45
Speaker 2: of those styrofoam to go cups, because basically that is
7:49
Speaker 2: our family, always hitting those coffee places with the styrofoam cups.
7:53
Speaker 2: You know them very well, and nothing makes my kids
7:56
Speaker 2: happier than hitting up those places early and off. For
8:00
Speaker 2: all the parents out there with teenagers, we know you're
8:02
Speaker 2: already trying to keep a million different things under control.
8:05
Speaker 2: Cash App is here to make sure your teen's money
8:08
Speaker 2: and their spending isn't adding to that craziness. So with
8:11
Speaker 2: the cash App card available to teens thirteen to seventeen
8:14
Speaker 2: with sponsorship by an eligible parent or guardian, every transaction
8:18
Speaker 2: triggers a real time notification for you to see, empowering
8:22
Speaker 2: your team to practice independence while giving you peace of
8:25
Speaker 2: mind by keeping track of their spending. You can manage
8:28
Speaker 2: everything directly from your own cash app account without having
8:31
Speaker 2: a switch between the two, making it simple to stay
8:34
Speaker 2: connected to your teens financial activity in a way that
8:37
Speaker 2: is both efficient and empowering. And finally, nobody wants unnecessary
8:42
Speaker 2: surprises with cash App, no monthly fees, no minimum balance requirements,
8:47
Speaker 2: no hidden charges when sending or receiving money with the
8:50
Speaker 2: cash app card, you and your teens balances receive twenty
8:54
Speaker 2: four to seven fraud monitoring, and if the card ever
8:56
Speaker 2: gets lost, you know that happens right. You have the
8:59
Speaker 2: ability to lock the card from your phone in just
9:02
Speaker 2: one tap. Hey, parents, it's time to start focusing on
9:05

Speaker 2: podcast or full disclosures. I know how I feel when
10:05
Speaker 2: I wake up in the morning. I have so many
10:07
Speaker 2: things on my mind. I can't get any of this
10:10
Speaker 2: done until I have my first cup of coffee. I
10:12
Speaker 2: know a lot of you feel the same way. You
10:15
Speaker 2: either need that coffee, that nicotine pouch, maybe even energy
10:19

Speaker 2: show and tell them inside the Birds sent you.
11:47
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley Verse Smile Mandan. Saquan did a nice job
11:51
Speaker 1: of holding him off. Saquon had some quality reps. He
11:55
Speaker 1: had a couple there. There may have been one or
11:57
Speaker 1: so where the linebacker had some success on But I
12:00
Speaker 1: thought Saquan did a really nice job. There's more to
12:02
Speaker 1: it than simply being a big body player a strong player.
12:07
Speaker 1: You have to have a strong base, of course, but
12:09
Speaker 1: you also have to have really good technique and footwork
12:12
Speaker 1: to execute that at a high level. And I think
12:14
Speaker 1: by and large, the Eagles running backs did a nice
12:17
Speaker 1: job in this particular drill Mac McWilliams versus Samari Torrey.
12:22
Speaker 1: Mac McWilliams gives up in a sort of an inside
12:25
Speaker 1: out move and Torre wins that route, but very quickly
12:28
Speaker 1: on Mac because I do want to add that while
12:32
Speaker 1: he did replace Quinnon Mitchell when qu left the practice
12:38
Speaker 1: or wasn't practicing any longer, Mac did a nice job.
12:41
Speaker 1: And he's had some peaks and valleys in camp, but
12:44
Speaker 1: I think there's been more positive moments then there's been
12:47
Speaker 1: down moments. He's playing faster, he has a better grasp
12:52
Speaker 1: of what he's what the expectations are from him in
12:55
Speaker 1: this defense, and he's had some pass breakups. He's just
12:59
Speaker 1: playing with a lot more confidence. And Vic Fangio mentioned
13:01
Speaker 1: that he sees a maturity in Mac in year two
13:06
Speaker 1: that was probably the biggest difference when you're looking at
13:08
Speaker 1: year one to year two. Then the Eagles had a
13:11
Speaker 1: backed up scenario which was really fun. This was after
13:14
Speaker 1: the individual the one on ones, and the first team
13:18
Speaker 1: offense comes in and it was twelve personnel. They had
13:23
Speaker 1: Johnny Munt and Dallas Goddard in The receivers were Hollywood
13:27
Speaker 1: Brown and Dontavian Wicks. There's a handoff to Saquon Barkley.
13:31
Speaker 1: He picks up three yards. Jalox Hunt was there to
13:35
Speaker 1: wrap him up or corral them, I should say, brings
13:38
Speaker 1: up second and seven. Barkley runs up the gut. Then
13:41
Speaker 1: there's a third and two. More was the inside receiver
13:44
Speaker 1: on that third down. And while we're on the subject,
13:48
Speaker 1: I would really selfishly, I would like to see Darius
13:51
Speaker 1: Cooper get some more first team reps. Perhaps that'll continue
13:55
Speaker 1: to develop as the mix and match personnel, but with
13:58
Speaker 1: the camp that he's having, you'd like to see see
14:00
Speaker 1: him on a more consistent basis with the first unit. Anyway,
14:04
Speaker 1: Then it brings on Andy Dalton. He's up there with
14:07
Speaker 1: the second team, the second team offensive line. By the way,
14:10
Speaker 1: this is from left to right, Markel Bell, Willie Lampkin,
14:13
Speaker 1: who's at left guard for the second consecutive day, Drew
14:16
Speaker 1: Kendall at center, Jake Majors at right guard, and Fred
14:20
Speaker 1: Johnson at right tackle. Byron Young picks up a sack
14:24
Speaker 1: when they're backed up, he gets the safety Byron Young.
14:28
Speaker 1: I continue to say this, and I will say this
14:32
Speaker 1: again for anyone who hasn't heard. I think he's one
14:34
Speaker 1: of the more underrated players on the Eagles, and a
14:37
Speaker 1: strong case could be made that he's one of the
14:39
Speaker 1: most important depth pieces on the roster. He's had a
14:42
Speaker 1: good camp. We had a chance to talk to him
14:43
Speaker 1: after practice. Tanner McKee hits Eli Stowers on a third
14:50
Speaker 1: and two and that was j T. Gray, the safety
14:55
Speaker 1: in coverage. Bear with me, I am just kind of
15:01
Speaker 1: going through my notes. I did pay attention. I moved
15:04
Speaker 1: to the second field, which is where the offensive lineman
15:07
Speaker 1: and defensive linemen were doing one on ones. Tyler Steen
15:12
Speaker 1: had a couple of really strong reps. He had one
15:13
Speaker 1: against Jalen Carter there. One of them, Jalen Carter seemed
15:16
Speaker 1: to lose his footing he got loaded the ground, but
15:19
Speaker 1: Tyler Steen was very physical. He had another strong rep
15:21
Speaker 1: against ty Robinson. If you remember back to yesterday, ty
15:25
Speaker 1: Robinson and Tyler Stein got into a little bit of
15:27
Speaker 1: a skirmish, and I thought that Tyler had another good
15:31
Speaker 1: rep against him. Cam Jurgen's two really impressive reps against
15:36
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis where he just anchored and didn't give up
15:39
Speaker 1: any ground. That's an impressive feat to do because, needless
15:42
Speaker 1: to say, Jordan Davis is a massive human being. And
15:46
Speaker 1: Cam held his own for consecutive reps against Jordan Davis.
15:52
Speaker 1: I thought Jordan Mylotto won both of his opportunities against
15:54
Speaker 1: j Hunt Jay Loox Hunt. It's interesting to watch, and
15:58
Speaker 1: Jeff and I talked about this when we when we've
16:00
Speaker 1: recorded our podcast on Saturday, and one thing that we
16:03
Speaker 1: noted was that in the past Jaelyx Hunt sort of
16:06
Speaker 1: had a predetermined approach with his pass rush, but you
16:10
Speaker 1: can see him working his moves, and he certainly did
16:13
Speaker 1: that against my Lotta. But unfortunately for Jlyx, he wasn't
16:16
Speaker 1: able to separate or gain grounds, and Jordan won both
16:21
Speaker 1: of those reps. Ty Robinson had a couple of really
16:25
Speaker 1: strong reps against offensive lineman Jake Majors, who has been
16:29
Speaker 1: cross training at center and gard who's been playing center
16:31
Speaker 1: and guard. He's been cross training at guard, but Jake
16:35
Speaker 1: Majors has shorter arms for that position. Ty Robinson had
16:39
Speaker 1: a nice little club move on both. It looked almost
16:41
Speaker 1: identical and he was able to capitalize in that matchup.
16:46
Speaker 1: For as impressive as Willie Lampkin has been in the
16:50
Speaker 1: one on ones, where you can see the powerful bass
16:52
Speaker 1: and the technicality in which he approaches it, he struggled
16:56
Speaker 1: mightily against Moro Jomo. In fact, both of those reps
17:00
Speaker 1: probably flags in a game. The first rep looked almost
17:03
Speaker 1: like Willie got his arm up around Moro's neck, like
17:08
Speaker 1: he had him hog tie a little bit that would
17:10
Speaker 1: have certainly been a hold, and then the next rep
17:13
Speaker 1: he just held onto his pads. Moro Jomo is just
17:16
Speaker 1: a very physical player, active and quick hands and long arms,
17:20
Speaker 1: and it's just not a great matchup for most interior lineman,
17:24
Speaker 1: but certainly somewhat of Willie's dimensions, and I thought Moro
17:28
Speaker 1: got the best of them there. Jona Juquo he won
17:33
Speaker 1: against Tron Jackson, and then turn Jackson beat Cameron Williams.
17:41
Speaker 1: John At Juquo versus u or Bernard Eagles seventh round
17:44
Speaker 1: pick or didn't have a ton of opportunities in this drill,
17:48
Speaker 1: and that one was sort of a stalemate. You can
17:50
Speaker 1: see the strength and the power that Duar has. It's
17:53
Speaker 1: just about learning the technique and that will ultimately come
17:56
Speaker 1: in time. Then after that, the Eagles got back into
17:59
Speaker 1: it with the team portion. It was the second team
18:02
Speaker 1: off defense versus the first team offense, and at safety
18:06
Speaker 1: they had Andre Sam and Kapina Guchigan, a rookie free agent.
18:10
Speaker 1: This drive centered around Elijah Moore for different reasons. The
18:15
Speaker 1: first one was because Jalen Hurts was looking for him
18:18
Speaker 1: and cornerback ssha Korian Bennett flies in from behind and
18:23
Speaker 1: gets the pass break up. Nice play by Bennett. But
18:27
Speaker 1: then on the ensuing play, Jalen Hurts throws a beautiful
18:31
Speaker 1: pass deep down the middle of the field to Moore,
18:34
Speaker 1: who had several steps on safety Andre Sam and as
18:39
Speaker 1: Moore enters the end zone. For those of you who
18:42
Speaker 1: have seen the Jefferson Health Training Complex, if you know
18:45
Speaker 1: the near field, you know that there's the building the
18:49
Speaker 1: facilities right behind it. And so Elijah Moore punts the football.
18:54
Speaker 1: It bounces on top of the roof and then bounces
18:57
Speaker 1: off of the roof, so he was clearly fired up
18:59
Speaker 1: about by the way, I wrote a story about Elijah Moore,
19:03
Speaker 1: who has had a very untraditional path through the NFL.
19:06
Speaker 1: He was a top fifty pick. The Eagles are I believe,
19:10
Speaker 1: his fourth team. Let's see Jets, Browns. Yeah, they're actually
19:15
Speaker 1: his fifth team. But when you watch him operate out there,
19:20
Speaker 1: you just see the growing rapport between quarterback and wide receiver.
19:24
Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult for him to make it.
19:26
Speaker 1: I would imagine the special team's piece could really come
19:30
Speaker 1: into play. But man, he's done nothing but deliver every
19:34
Speaker 1: time his number has been called, and he looked clearly
19:37
Speaker 1: fired up at the end of that play. Later on,
19:41
Speaker 1: when the threes were up, the offensive line was Holland
19:44
Speaker 1: Pierce at left tackle, at left guard, Michael Morris, center
19:49
Speaker 1: Willie Lampkin, right guard Miles Hinton, and right tackle Cameron Williams.
19:55
Speaker 1: Cole Payton was the quarterback. Miles Hinton had a nice
19:58
Speaker 1: block on Zion Wilson, the defensive tackle sort of planted
20:02
Speaker 1: him on his backside, and I think in a lot
20:05
Speaker 1: of ways that helped spring Cole Peyton on a run
20:07
Speaker 1: to the left. It was a nice little scamper that
20:09
Speaker 1: he had Smile Minden Jr. Nice run fit on a
20:14
Speaker 1: Carson Steel run up the middle. That's what you like
20:16
Speaker 1: to see. Smile mind is not the biggest linebacker in
20:19
Speaker 1: the world, but he is billed as someone who has
20:23
Speaker 1: really high level instincts and that certainly showed on that play.
20:29
Speaker 1: Britain Cubby did some interesting things during this period. There
20:32
Speaker 1: was a lot of motion that he was involved in,
20:34
Speaker 1: and then on one occasion he was actually aligned in
20:38
Speaker 1: the backfield to Peyton's right and it ended up being
20:42
Speaker 1: a design run for Cole Peyton back to the starters
20:49
Speaker 1: and again the cornerbacks were Mac McWilliams and Riek Wollen
20:52
Speaker 1: on the outside. This is where you could feel the
20:55
Speaker 1: intensity ratcheting up a little bit. Jalen Carter stopped Sakuon
20:59
Speaker 1: Barkway in the backfield. Really good instinctive play. Again, Jaywen
21:03
Speaker 1: Carter can wreck a practice whenever he decides he wants to,
21:07
Speaker 1: and he's just been a absolute force throughout training camp.
21:11
Speaker 1: So is Jordan Davis, So is Moro Jomo, so has
21:15
Speaker 1: Jalox Hunt. Then Jalen Hurts hits do on TV and
21:19
Speaker 1: wicks along the left sideline with Rieke Wohen and coverage.
21:23
Speaker 1: This is where jay loox Hunt really really flashed. He
21:27
Speaker 1: had really good pressure coming around the edge and he
21:31
Speaker 1: ends up chasing Jalen Hurts who's flushing him, till he
21:34
Speaker 1: flushes him to his right. That's probably a sack in
21:37
Speaker 1: the game. Jayalox Hunt's name is gonna come up here
21:39
Speaker 1: in a second. Now. The very next play, actually the
21:45
Speaker 1: the next two plays that I wrote down, he fires
21:48
Speaker 1: over the middle to Sakuon Barkley, who kind of gets
21:50
Speaker 1: one arm up and tries to get it. Look like
21:52
Speaker 1: the past may have been a little bit behind him.
21:54
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him the drop on that. Jay loox
21:57
Speaker 1: Hunt was there to defend the play. And then on
22:00
Speaker 1: the ensuing play, jay looks Hunt blows up Johnny Munt
22:03
Speaker 1: the tight end for pressure, and then it looked like
22:06
Speaker 1: Jahad Campbell and Cooper regime, we're there to clean it
22:09
Speaker 1: up for what would have been a sack. Jay One
22:13
Speaker 1: also throws a tight window completion to tight end Dallas
22:17
Speaker 1: Goddard with Marcus Epps in coverage. Again, I don't think
22:21
Speaker 1: Epps has had a bad training camp. In fact, there's
22:23
Speaker 1: something to be said for a player who always seems
22:25
Speaker 1: to be in the right place, but he doesn't have
22:27
Speaker 1: the big playability as someone like Michael Carter, who I
22:31
Speaker 1: think while he is not going to be nearly as
22:33
Speaker 1: seasoned as Marcus Epps. Just depends on what you're looking for,
22:37
Speaker 1: Because if you want someone who can give you some
22:38
Speaker 1: ball production and versatility and allow you to be multiple
22:41
Speaker 1: on defense, then Michael Carter's probably your guy. If you
22:44
Speaker 1: want someone who's experienced in playing the position, you don't
22:48
Speaker 1: have any questions, and you know that he will be
22:50
Speaker 1: as simon sound, maybe Marcus Epps would be your preference,
22:53
Speaker 1: and maybe even early in the season, Marcus Epps would
22:56
Speaker 1: be that ideal choice. We'll have to wait and see
22:58
Speaker 1: how things develop. There was a situational period late in
23:03
Speaker 1: practice and Skwon Barkley had some nice runs. Tank Bigsby
23:10
Speaker 1: had some nice runs. Tough sequence there for it. Outside
23:15
Speaker 1: linebacker aj Panessa, who completely mugged tight end grand Cal
23:20
Speaker 1: Katara off the line, flagged Grant ended up catching the pass.
23:25
Speaker 1: He eventually shook free and was able to catch the pass.
23:32
Speaker 1: Mark el Bell later on drew aj Pinessa off sides.
23:37
Speaker 2: Hey Philly fans game day is stressful enough. Parking traffic,
23:42
Speaker 2: long lines. We've all been there, but when it comes
23:44
Speaker 2: to your cannabis, Camden Apothecary makes it easy. This is
23:49
Speaker 2: the dispensary for sports fans, just minutes outside of Philly,
23:53
Speaker 2: with plenty of free parking.

Speaker 2: service members, and healthcare pros. Cam din Apothecary top quality cannabis,

Speaker 2: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans.
24:35
Speaker 1: Twenty one and up on the Tank Bigsby Run Up
24:40
Speaker 1: the Gut, where he again reminded everyone that he has
24:43
Speaker 1: plenty of juice and explosiveness on that play tight nd
24:47
Speaker 1: EJ Jenkins mauled Smile Mandin on that and EJ is
24:52
Speaker 1: such a physical blocker. He's really made strides in that area.
24:56
Speaker 1: That's a point of pride for him. When he entered
24:58
Speaker 1: the league, he was a wide receiver by trade who
25:02
Speaker 1: was learning how to play tight end receiving centric player. Well,
25:06
Speaker 1: now he's become a blocking centric player who can catch.
25:10
Speaker 1: He hasn't been as consistent in that department, but man,
25:13
Speaker 1: when you watch him on some of these special teams
25:15
Speaker 1: drills and then as an inline blocker, it's going to
25:19
Speaker 1: be really fun to watch him in the preseason. And
25:22
Speaker 1: then the last note that I have Tanner McKee to
25:24
Speaker 1: Samari Torre. Safety J T. Gray, who hasn't played an
25:29
Speaker 1: awful lot of safety in his career. He's been a
25:30
Speaker 1: special team's demon. A three time off pro comes up
25:34
Speaker 1: with the pass breakup and it looked like it was
25:37
Speaker 1: a sort of a crow route there, and that concluded practice.
25:41
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there are other things that'll come to mind,
25:43
Speaker 1: but I wanted to get this to you guys as
25:45
Speaker 1: quickly as I could, emptying out my notebook and going
25:48
Speaker 1: through it as quickly as possible. That's going to do
25:51
Speaker 1: it for this episode of Checho. Andrew di Cheko and
25:55
Speaker 1: I'll catch you all on the next one name,
