Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody?
- 0:11Speaker 2: Welcome into this edition of to Checho Daily. It's Andrew
- 0:15Speaker 2: Decheco here from Insidethebirds dot Com and the Eagles return
- 0:19Speaker 2: to the practice field today Thursday afternoon after an extended layoff,
- 0:24Speaker 2: returning from the bye week and getting ready for the
- 0:27Speaker 2: second half of the season. But before we get to
- 0:31Speaker 2: the different things that transpire today at the Overcare Complex,
- 0:35Speaker 2: I want to address the news that came out of
- 0:37Speaker 2: Dallas this morning, and that is the passing of Marshawn
- 0:40Speaker 2: neland their twenty four year old pass Rusher. I mean
- 0:45Speaker 2: that hit me pretty hard, and I know that it
- 0:47Speaker 2: did everybody who heard the news.
- 0:49Speaker 1: It's beyond shocking.
- 0:50Speaker 2: It's devastating, it's tragic, and you know, as someone who
- 0:56Speaker 2: is a big advocate of mental health awareness and things
- 0:59Speaker 2: like that, that's not something that I take lightly. And
- 1:03Speaker 2: anyone who deals with any of those things, you know,
- 1:06Speaker 2: reach out to your friend's family, loved ones. Heck, reach
- 1:09Speaker 2: out to me, and sometimes it's good to just talk
- 1:13Speaker 2: to somebody. And it's just, you know, it's crushing news,
- 1:16Speaker 2: and my heart goes out to the Neeland family and
- 1:20Speaker 2: all those who were affected by that. I don't really
- 1:26Speaker 2: know much more to say. It's just really tough. But
- 1:31Speaker 2: as far as the Eagles news today, they had the
- 1:36Speaker 2: three players who were acquired in the trade and Michael
- 1:38Speaker 2: Carter the cornerback, jyr Alexander the cornerback, and outside linebacker
- 1:43Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips they were made available. And let's go to
- 1:47Speaker 2: before we even get to that, let's get to the
- 1:49Speaker 2: practice news, because there were some notable new faces there
- 1:56Speaker 2: in the stretch line for the Eagles, And what I
- 2:00Speaker 2: can say is the not practicing today, center Cam Jurgens
- 2:04Speaker 2: with the knee limited, cornerback of Dory Jackson with the concussion,
- 2:08Speaker 2: and defensive tackle Moro Jomo with the concussion, full running
- 2:13Speaker 2: back Saquon Barkley, growing, cornerback ja Coryan Bennett pectoral, wide
- 2:17Speaker 2: receiver AJ Brown hamstring, guard, center Willy Lampkin knee ankle,
- 2:22Speaker 2: and outside linebacker Nolan Smith with the triceps. So Cam
- 2:27Speaker 2: Jurgens coming off the bye week and still not practicing
- 2:31Speaker 2: is something.
- 2:31Speaker 1: That I'm going to be monitoring.
- 2:34Speaker 2: And you know, if this continues on tomorrow, it looks
- 2:38Speaker 2: to be that Brett Toath would be in line to
- 2:40Speaker 2: start at center for the second consecutive game. But that'll
- 2:43Speaker 2: be something to keep track of. And it's also notable
- 2:47Speaker 2: that the Eagles open up the twenty one day practice
- 2:50Speaker 2: window today just before practice for Willy Lampkin.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Willy Lampkin suffered a preseason injury.
- 2:56Speaker 2: I believe it was a knee ankle with the Rams
- 2:59Speaker 2: and Eagles clanned him off waivers and then eventually putting
- 3:02Speaker 2: him on injury reserve. I'd seen Willie working with the
- 3:05Speaker 2: other offensive linemen on the field off on a side
- 3:08Speaker 2: field while the Eagles were practicing, so I had a
- 3:12Speaker 2: chance to talk to Willie and catch up with him
- 3:14Speaker 2: in the locker room. I'll be able to transcribe all
- 3:17Speaker 2: that and write a short story based off of that.
- 3:21Speaker 2: But he talked about how both you know him, Cam Williams,
- 3:25Speaker 2: Miles Hinton, they were kind of all getting to, you know,
- 3:28Speaker 2: build that relationship and push each other during the recovery process.
- 3:32Speaker 1: He talked about the value of mental reps.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Being in the meeting rooms, learning under Jeff Stoutland and
- 3:38Speaker 2: we'll see what happens here.
- 3:40Speaker 1: But he has been working on a side field.
- 3:43Speaker 2: He's a guy who I've gotten a lot of questions about,
- 3:45Speaker 2: especially in light of the injury to Cam Jurgens, so
- 3:48Speaker 2: that's another player who could be returning in the foreseeable future.
- 3:51Speaker 1: The Eagles have twenty one days to.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Activate him to the fifty three or shut him down
- 3:57Speaker 2: for the season, so we'll see how that all transpires.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Moro Jomo with the concussion, presumably that had to have
- 4:06Speaker 2: happened against the Giants, but you know, we didn't get it.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Moro didn't.
- 4:11Speaker 2: We didn't get a chance to really talk tomorrow after
- 4:13Speaker 2: the game or anything like that, but that'll be something
- 4:17Speaker 2: to monitor. If you remember, Moro actually took a pretty
- 4:21Speaker 2: big hit in the Vikings game, the.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Friendly fire with Keey Ringo.
- 4:26Speaker 2: That did not keep him out of the Giants game,
- 4:29Speaker 2: but obviously something happened there in the Giants game, so
- 4:31Speaker 2: that'll be something to certainly monitor. Full go Sakwon Barkley
- 4:36Speaker 2: with the groin, if you remember, he had the twenty
- 4:38Speaker 2: eight yard run and came up kind of gimpi after that.
- 4:41Speaker 2: But after the game he mentioned that he could have
- 4:44Speaker 2: gone back in had the game, you know, had it necessitated,
- 4:47Speaker 2: you know, the game was out of reach. They didn't
- 4:49Speaker 2: need him, but he said he would be okay, and
- 4:51Speaker 2: he was out there practicing. Jacoryan Bennett another full go
- 4:55Speaker 2: participant with the pectoral He's another guy that I've talked
- 4:58Speaker 2: a lot about on this podcast as someone who could
- 5:01Speaker 2: factor in.
- 5:02Speaker 1: To the roster equation.
- 5:05Speaker 2: And it's an interesting puzzle piece and interesting conundrum that
- 5:09Speaker 2: the Eagles have because you have players who are on
- 5:11Speaker 2: the men who are coming back. And Nolan Smith's another
- 5:14Speaker 2: one who was out there for the first time practicing in.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Quite a while. I believe he went on IR after
- 5:19Speaker 1: the Rams game.
- 5:22Speaker 2: AJ Brown back out there after missing the Giants game
- 5:25Speaker 2: with the hamstring injury.
- 5:27Speaker 1: He spoke, I was not in on that.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I was in on the Michael Carter one at the
- 5:31Speaker 2: time and a little bit of Jalen Phillips before that,
- 5:36Speaker 2: so I did not get to hear what Aj had
- 5:38Speaker 2: to say.
- 5:38Speaker 1: But it was good to see him back out there.
- 5:40Speaker 2: The Eagles certainly need him for this game, and the
- 5:43Speaker 2: bye week certainly seemed to have helped him, and I'm
- 5:47Speaker 2: sure it helped a lot of those players, especially along
- 5:50Speaker 2: the offensive line aside from Cam Jurgens, and I go
- 5:53Speaker 2: back to the importance of keeping an eye on his
- 5:57Speaker 2: practice status as the week progresses here and Nolan Smith
- 6:02Speaker 2: is another player who I think has an opportunity to
- 6:06Speaker 2: be activated Monday night when the Eagles play the Green
- 6:08Speaker 2: Bay Packers. I believe the Eagles have until Monday night,
- 6:11Speaker 2: Monday afternoon at four o'clock to activate them. If this
- 6:15Speaker 2: is the week for it, it could take another week
- 6:17Speaker 2: for him to get his legs under them and get
- 6:20Speaker 2: his you know, get the conditioning and all that. We'll
- 6:22Speaker 2: see obviously, but you can see that there are some
- 6:25Speaker 2: reinforcements on the way in terms of you know, pass rush.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Hey, it's Jeff Mosher. And if you have a family
- 6:32Speaker 3: and kids at home, like me, you always want them
- 6:34Speaker 3: to be fully protected. That's why I'm thrilled to be
- 6:37Speaker 3: a Simply Safe customer. And our house is equipped with
- 6:40Speaker 3: the most technologically advanced alarm system you can get. If

- 6:53Speaker 3: different because it stops crimes before they happen. With active

- 7:02Speaker 3: they're still outside your home, and they alert real security agents.
- 7:06Speaker 3: These agents take action while the intruder is still outside
- 7:09Speaker 3: and confront the intruder to let them know they're being
- 7:12Speaker 3: watched on camera and police is on the way. And
- 7:15Speaker 3: that's how you stop a crime before it's committed. There's

- 8:37Speaker 3: and an experience made for Philly fans twenty one and.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Up, which brings me to the new additions today. Jalen
- 8:46Speaker 2: Phillips was a player who it pretty much said that
- 8:50Speaker 2: this was literally, you know, the best thing that's ever
- 8:53Speaker 2: happened to him. And he talked about how everyone's embraced them,
- 8:58Speaker 2: how he's had you know, twenty times more likes on
- 9:01Speaker 2: his Instagram post, you know, since joining the Eagles. So
- 9:04Speaker 2: he gave a shout out to the fan base. So
- 9:06Speaker 2: it seemed really excited to be here. I asked him,
- 9:09Speaker 2: what did you know about Philadelphia before you arrived here,
- 9:12Speaker 2: the city of Philadelphia, and he mentioned, you know, Meek Mills,
- 9:16Speaker 2: he mentioned.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Little Uzi Vert, he mentioned the Liberty Bell.
- 9:21Speaker 2: But he said, you know, aside from that, you know,
- 9:23Speaker 2: not much Howie Roseman was the first person he obviously
- 9:27Speaker 2: came into contact with, but I said, how about player wise?
- 9:30Speaker 2: He mentioned Lane Johnson as one of the players that
- 9:32Speaker 2: he heard from when he got here, and I asked
- 9:36Speaker 2: him about playing under Vic Fangio and what made him
- 9:39Speaker 2: so successful, what about Vic or his style his system,
- 9:42Speaker 2: and he said, I think for me it was just
- 9:46Speaker 2: very simple and very aggressive, which I think for me
- 9:48Speaker 2: is when I'm at my best. And I just like
- 9:50Speaker 2: who he is as a person too. He's a very
- 9:53Speaker 2: straightforward guy and I resonate with that a lot, So
- 9:56Speaker 2: I think being back in his system is a very
- 9:58Speaker 2: good fit for me. Didn't mention they didn't want to
- 10:02Speaker 2: get ahead of himself, but the Philadelphia is a place
- 10:05Speaker 2: that he can see himself long term.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Obviously, a lot has yet to be determined.
- 10:09Speaker 2: He has to go out there and prove it first
- 10:11Speaker 2: and foremost, stay healthy and all that. But I can
- 10:14Speaker 2: tell you that he is just a big dude, six
- 10:17Speaker 2: foot five, every bit of two sixty three, maybe even
- 10:20Speaker 2: more than that.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Big and strong.
- 10:22Speaker 2: You can clearly see that he's gonna be able to
- 10:25Speaker 2: play the run as well as he rushes the passer.
- 10:27Speaker 2: I'm really interested to see what he's able to do
- 10:30Speaker 2: on the field, and because he plays the edge rusher position,
- 10:33Speaker 2: I can certainly see him factoring as early as Monday night,
- 10:36Speaker 2: especially knowing that the Eagles have him at least on
- 10:39Speaker 2: the surface for only nine regular season games and then
- 10:42Speaker 2: the postseason, so they're gonna want to get him out
- 10:44Speaker 2: there as quickly as possible.
- 10:46Speaker 1: So that was the Star edition.
- 10:48Speaker 2: There was cameras everywhere, a lot of people around him,
- 10:51Speaker 2: and he lockers right between Brandon Graham, who's to his right,
- 10:57Speaker 2: and then Jordan Davis is the other of him, so
- 11:02Speaker 2: it's gonna be a crowded area for the duration of
- 11:06Speaker 2: the season for sure. I was not in on JayR
- 11:09Speaker 2: Alexander because I was talking to some different players at
- 11:14Speaker 2: that time. I'll try and get him on Friday. But
- 11:20Speaker 2: Michael Carter mentioned that he is willing to do whatever
- 11:26Speaker 2: the team needs of him, and and that was in
- 11:28Speaker 2: response to playing corner and or safety. The familiarity with
- 11:33Speaker 2: Joe Douglas and Joe Casper, and he mentioned Xavier Gibson
- 11:39Speaker 2: is here and he was there during his time with
- 11:42Speaker 2: the with the New York Jets, so there's there's some
- 11:45Speaker 2: familiarity with him. I think Michael Carter will factor in
- 11:50Speaker 2: because he has a defined role, probably a little earlier
- 11:54Speaker 2: than Jaire Alexander, if I were to guess, In fact,
- 11:57Speaker 2: if I were to guess right now, I'm onund of
- 11:59Speaker 2: the person psumption that Kihi Ringo will be starting Monday
- 12:03Speaker 2: night against the Packers. Obviously there's a lot that can
- 12:06Speaker 2: happen between now and then, but it just makes a
- 12:08Speaker 2: lot of sense for him to be out there and.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Just helping the team in a multitude of ways. Hey,
- 12:19Speaker 1: I still like a.

- 14:05Speaker 2: Talked to Jalen Phillips a little a little bit afterwards, welcome,
- 14:08Speaker 2: welcoming him to Philadelphia, and then asking him a couple
- 14:11Speaker 2: of questions that I had.
