• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: We are back with this week five preview on this
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: edition of Birds Weekly. It is powered by the Inside
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the Birds Network. For Barrett Brooks, I'm Derek Gunn. And,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: of course, the Jacksonville Jaguars in London await the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And what a week this has been.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: It goes from a week of trying to figure out
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: what's wrong with this team to now a week.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Of trying to figure out who's playing and who's not.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Earlier in the week, Lane Johnson abruptly retires. And then
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden the next day, the center-slash-left guard
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Cam Juergens is.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Traded to Baltimore. All right, Lane. Let's start with Lane.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: How surprised are you that he called it a career
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: after four games? And you and I had talked earlier
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: in the week about the prospects of him maybe needing
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to sit down and get away from the game to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: get himself together physically, mentally, spiritually. Were you as shocked
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: as I was when he decided to say adios?
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I was shocked simply because I just thought, you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: he had made the– he had made a promise to
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: the team that he's going to go ahead and play.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: And then once he hit a point where.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: He felt as though he had to take a break,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: you know, I got it then because I was able
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: to internalize and think about it. Yeah, I understand that because,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's dealing with, you know, some mental health
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: stuff that, you know, a lot of people are experiencing,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: especially men, and we don't take care of it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: We don't allow ourselves to.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: To uh to heal from it and he was at
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: a point where he just couldn't um go forward with
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: it and i mean i think it would have been
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: a detriment for him to go forward with him and
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: it's not just him he's making the decision for he's
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: also making a decision you know to his family and
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: that's great that you know he got involved his family
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: his parents you know he said they're at a point
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: where they need more attention so i mean i i
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: totally understand it and i i take my hat off
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: to him for being strong enough to do it. Because
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you the truth. I don't think
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I'm necessarily strong enough to do that and make that
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: type of decision and go forward with it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Everybody has, you know, things that they're dealing with in life.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: And some people handle things differently. But we're talking about
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: something that's, you know, a clinical diagnosis that he's going through. And,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: you know, at the end of the day, if I
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: was going to talk to young players... they may be
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: going through the same thing. I said, number one, if
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: you're feeling a certain way that's something you can't handle
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: or you feel.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: As though you're getting overwhelmed with it, seek help.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: You know, get it defined because once you define something,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: now you can work to try to help yourself in
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: fixing it or at least being able to deal with it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: If you don't know what it is, if you don't
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: know how to define it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: If you can't say exactly what you're working against, then
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: how are you supposed to, as a man, go forward
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: with it, be healthy in it, you know, you'll stay sick.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: You got to make sure you get the help you
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: need and, and, and to help you function, you know?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: So I, I said, I applaud him. I applaud him.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: So I tell a lot of people, no, Hey, put
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: a definition on it. That way you can fight it,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: you know? And, and that's what I'll tell young players
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: if they're going forward.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You know, dealing with depression and anxiety is a heavy
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: burden to bear. I have, friends who deal with it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I have a relative close to me who deals with it. And,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, all of a sudden they're happy one minute
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and the next minute they go dark. I mean, they
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: get real quiet. They become recluse. They don't want to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: deal with family or society or anybody for that matter.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And they get emotional as well. And I'm sure Lane,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: as I've talked to him many, many times about it,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: he has, he has written that proverbial rollercoaster of all
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the things that I just mentioned. And then some, And now,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you know, from what we are told, his mother's dealing
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: with cancer. His father's very ill. Neither one is doing
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: very well. And then the aspect of being a professional athlete,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and not just a professional athlete, but he has been
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: billed as one of the greatest offensive linemen or greatest
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: right tackle of our time. That's a lot of weight
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to carry on one shoulder. And there's a breaking point.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And I hate to say it, but there have been
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: many cases where people who have not dealt with this
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: situation adequately and properly, it has led to suicide in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of ways.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So, you know, some people out there.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Have said, you know, there have been some very unkind,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you know, statements made about Lane Johnson out there. You know, people,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: some people out there, man, are just, to me, just
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: sick with some of the things they say about people
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in adverse situations. But in this case, I don't blame
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: him for walking away. He understands everything. that he's leaving
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: his team hanging, but it's not about money. He's got that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It's not about rings. He's got two of those. It's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: not about fame. He's got that. It's not about hall
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of fame status because he will be a hall of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: famer one day. Right now he needs to focus on
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: taking care of himself first and foremost and his family
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and nothing else matters.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: That's first and foremost, because if he can't take care
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: of himself, How is he supposed to take care of
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: his family?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: How is he supposed to take care of the guys
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: on the field?
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: How is he supposed to execute on the field if
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: he hasn't taken care of him and how he approaches things?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, I totally understand it, man. I get it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: And I'm so glad that he's in a position to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: do this. I am so glad he is.
• 5:46

• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Lane Johnson, we love you, we're praying for you, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: we wish nothing but the best for you, and we're
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: glad that you decided to take care of you first,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and don't worry about playing the game of football because
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it is a game and it doesn't last forever. All right,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Cam Juergens. How shocked were you that they decided to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: trade him? Obviously they were not happy with this play.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: It's decided to move on from him. Were you, were
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you shocked about that as well?
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Even though they weren't, you know, satisfied with his play
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: and I haven't been really, you know, been in a
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: position where I can say really good things about his play,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: even when he was a center. But, you know, we're
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: still talking about a guy as a, you know, two-time
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: pro bowler, you know, and, He didn't play well. He
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: was at the center position or the guard position. And
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I just got to take my hat off to Howie.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: How was he able to get a second-round draft pick?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: For a guy with a back issue.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, and health is the issue.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: And I think that's– I know that's exactly why he
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: hasn't been playing well. It's got to be health. Because
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: you can see he's not doing the same things he
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: could do. We stopped running the tush push last year
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: because of his health. He just hasn't been able to
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: do it. And then when you got to go.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: To South America to get work done on you down there.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: You.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Get a transplant down there. Things are not on an
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: upwards power for him. In fact, I would say it's
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: going to decline as of right now. And for Howie
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Roseman to get him a second round draft pick and
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: a fifth rounder this year and a second.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Rounder In 28, I just thought, you know, Howie just
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: did a great deal of, you know, making it happen.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Now I understand why the Ravens did it because they
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: feel as though they got only a couple more years
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: with the talented back and the talented quarterback that they have.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: They got to maximize every opportunity they can get to
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: make sure that they can compete for a Super Bowl.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: So you got to bring in someone. They were on
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: their– actually, they went through three centers. Three centers were on,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: you know, couldn't play for the last week. Three centers?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: And they had moved their all-world guard.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: They got in the first round this year, Iona, moved
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: him to center, and he played feasible as center.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, he played well enough, and he only played.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Like 15 snaps his whole college career, but he played
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: well enough to at least get him to a win.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: But I just think that, you know what, yeah, I mean,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: they did a fantastic job of getting what they needed.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: A guy that's played at a Pro Bowl level before.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And they feel as though they can at least squeeze
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: out a couple more.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Years out of him. You know what I'm saying?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: But how is he able to get his numbers off
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: the book? Next year, he'll still play a little bit
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: for him next year.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But then after that, you know, I mean, they needed.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: That money because they got to play some youngsters on
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball anyways. So, I mean,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Howard did a great job taking his numbers off the
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: book and making sure that they got some draft.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Capital for him with the second rounder. That's amazing.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Now, when Jalen Hurst steps to the line of scrimmage
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: on Sunday in London to face Jacksonville's defense– He will
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: have a 6'9 behemoth rookie at right tackle. He will
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: have Tyler Steen, who sucks, at right guard. He will
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: have Drew Kendall at center. He's been playing well. Yeah,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: he's been playing well the last few weeks.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, he has.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: But then he'll have the runt of the litter, 5'11,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: 300-pound Willie Lampkin as his left guard and a pro
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: bowler at left tackle. And if I'm Jalen, when I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: step to the line of scrims.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I'm going– Hey, what's your name?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, shoot. This ain't going to be pretty.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: No, Willie.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: This ain't going to be pretty. No, you know what?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't laugh, though.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: What you are going to get out of Willie Lampkin,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: and it's going to be kind of infectious for Drew Kendall,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: I really think.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: You and your guys are going to go balls out.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if I can say that,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: but I'm saying it anyway.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: You already said it. Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: They're going to go all out, man. They're going to
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: play their butts off.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if their best is good enough,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: but they're going to give it their all. Willie Lavin
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: will finish every single play. They're going to go to
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the whistle. They just need to teach their starting right tackle,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: rookie Markel Bell, to go to the whistle. Too many
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: times he was spectating in the game. Bro, all right,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: you're going to have to play good. The first two
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: say you play great. But then you want to spectate. Well,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: you're going to have to come spectate and sit next
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: to me in the office. You can come sit right
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: here in my chair. I'll pull a chair up here
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: right here. You know what I'm saying? If you don't
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: know how to finish, do the whistle. So, I mean,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: he's got to get it going. But I told you
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: the first two seconds, he's playing great.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: But after that, he's got to learn how to finish. So, Jalen, Jalen.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Jalen.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Sprinkle some holy water on him.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, they got to do something, man. And they
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: got to at least run the ball effectively, you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: to help him out.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Who's running the ball? Who's running? They brought Damian Pierce up.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, they did.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Former Titans running back. Not Titans, but Texans running back.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Texans, yes.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Texans running back. And then they got the back
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: of Clemson, Shipley. They got Shipley. So they're running the
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: ball with Shipley. I'm trying, man. I'm trying.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I got to go through the Rolodex, you know what
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, to see what we got on the roster, man,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: because a lot of guys ain't on the roster right now. But, yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Shipley was up on the roster. They elevated from the
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: practice squad Damian Pierce.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Because I know Saquon's not. I mean, Saquon's at a point.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if he's going to play
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: for a while, man. I mean, the way it looked,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: it looked really serious, really serious, man. I hope he
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: doesn't need, you know, to get operated on or anything
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: like that cut for it. But, you know, it's a
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: serious injury, so … I mean, they're the walking wounded
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: right now. We've been really healthy, you know, past years.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: But this year, it's the walking wounded, man.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Well, we're going to find out real soon if this
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: motivates this Eagles team or if it's taking some of
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the wind out of their sail losing Lane Johnson and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Cam Juergens because they're about to face a really good
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville team, a team that has back-to-back quality wins. They
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: smoked Cincinnati 35-6. And this past Sunday– They beat a
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: pretty good Cincinnati team as well. So their resume looks
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: pretty good right now sitting at three and one. You know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: when you look at them in offensively and defensively, neither
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: side of the ball, they're a top 10 offense or defense.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: But they do all the little things well. They don't
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: turn the ball over. They don't turn the ball over.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: They only have two turnovers. And yet they lead the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: NFL in the takeaway giveaway ratio at a plus six.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: They have eight takeaways at this point. When you look
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: at this team, Barrett, what jumps out at you about
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: them first and foremost?
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: They play simple football on the defensive side of the ball.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: They line up their front four, and they're going to say,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: all right, my guys are going to whip your guys
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: up front.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: And to me, I love that. You know what I mean?
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: I call it the kiss defense. Keep it simple, stupid.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: They're not bringing in any elaborate blitzes. They're going to let,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: you know, Eric Armstead rush the passer, Walker rush the passer,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: and then, you know, you know, They don't worry about anything.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Josh Hines, I forget his name.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: But defensive end, he's balling too.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Josh Hines Allen, that's his name, Josh Hines Allen. He's balling.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: They have some guys that just go out and play
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: great fundamental football that like to get after it, and
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: they're going to definitely test this defense. Now, this is
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: a copycat league, and at this point, everybody's testing Jalen's
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: ability to pick up the blitz.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: So they're going to blitz them. They're going to bring
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: some now.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: They haven't done so, but they will do it again
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: in Jalen because they see the success of it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, they just got to go out there and,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: you know, run the ball.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: But the only thing you say they're going to run
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: the ball, it's just so happened that this defense.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Is ranked number two and stopping the run. So, you know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: what are they going to do? You know, they give
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: them a lot of yards from 20 to 20. They
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: do do that. They really bow up when they get
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: to the red zone. So, you know, we'll see.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: You know, this is going to be a battle of,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: A team that's right now losing the war of attrition
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: in the Eagles, and a team that's on an upward climb,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: you know, with the Jacksonville Jaguars. You know, they get
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Lawrence balling the way he's balling. They can run the
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: ball consistently. They're just a complete team, and they're doing
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: it well, man. They're doing it the old-fashioned way. You know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: running the rock, using play action. You know, Lawrence is
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: playing well at the quarterback position. Defense, they just... play hard,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: they're doing it the.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Right way, man.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: They're doing it the right way.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Hey, have you ever had an issue with like your
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: hot water heater bursting?

• 16:50
  Speaker 5: causing me to miss work, causing me to deal with

  Speaker 5: people in my house trying to tell me how much
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: I'm going to have to pay.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Then I have to replace the appliance.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Then I got to do research on what the best
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: appliance is to replace with. It is madness and can
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: be very, very frustrating. But Housecall Pro, helps home service

• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Hey man, this could be a hand grenade game for Jalen, man,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: because this Jacksonville defense They're number two, as you just said,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: against the run.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: They only give up 74 yards a game rushing, number one. Right.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Number two, they're also second in the league in points allowed,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: giving up 13 points a game. Like you said, they're
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: going to bring the house to Jalen to test that
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: offensive line to find out where they can find.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: What?
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: We're going to go score that much anyways.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I know. But you know what? Jalen's going to step back. Hey,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: look here.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Jalen's going to step back to pass, pull the pin
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: on the ball, and throw it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Like this, Bear.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: And see what happens.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: We should be laughing, man.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: This ain't funny. It's not, man.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Because I'm going to be pissed off drinking my coffee,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: eating my donuts early Saturday morning and I'm going to
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: be going nuts because I want my Eagles team to
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: play well and they're not playing well.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. They might shock us all. They might.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: I hope they do.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: They might shock us.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Because Leading up the next three games, they got some
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: really good teams. So we'll see. We'll see.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Well, it comes to that moment of truth. Oh, by
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the way, their head coach, you want to talk about
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: a motivator? Their head coach, Liam Cohen, you know, last
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: year was his rookie campaign. He's the first rookie head
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: coach in the history of the NFL to win 13
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: games in his first campaign. He was 13-4 last season.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: He's got this team off to a 3-1 start. The
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Eagles' offense has to move the football. They are 0
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: for 17 in their last 17 third-down attempts. That's dating
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: back to two games. They were 0 for 12 this
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: past week. You're 0 for 17? Come on, man.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Come on, man.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Come on, man.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Seriously? You can accidentally get first downs in today's NFL.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It's so offensive-minded. The game has been geared towards protecting
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: the offense and forget about the defense. How do you
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: go 0 for 17?
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: How is that possible?
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Stemming from the Bears to last week, we still haven't
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: scored in the first quarter.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Quarter.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: We get out-coached and out-schemed in the second half. If
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: we don't score all our points in the second quarter,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: we're doomed. So, you know, we just got to come
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: with it. You know, we can complain all day. We
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: can say this all day. But the Eagles might shock
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: us and come out there and ball. We got some
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: young guys that want to go out there and, you
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, roll their sleeves up and do
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: it the old-fashioned way.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Start with it. You know
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying?
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: So you never know. Any given Sunday, you know what?
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: More and more I talk about it. I'm still going
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: to say they're going to lose. You thought I was.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Going to say they were going to win, right?
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I know you're a homer.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you thought these were green colored glasses. No, I'm
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: not drinking the green Kool-Aid because I've got to be
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: an analyst.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: And if I told you anything other than they were
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: going to lose and I wouldn't bet for them, I've
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: just got to be honest.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tell the truth. Nothing but the truth.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I've got to tell the truth.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: They are just going to be outmanned against the Jaguars.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Jaguars used to being over there And, you know, this
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: is just a home game for them.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, we've got to come with it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: I got a lot of faith in this team playing hard,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: but I don't think we have enough guns in the gunfight.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: That's all.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? We don't have our starting
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: wide receiver. I doubt if he plays. We don't have
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: our starting running back. I doubt if Saquon plays. You know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Smitty and Saquon are out there, you know, are not
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: playing right now. We did get Dallas Goddard back. He's
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: playing well. He's been practicing every day.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: We get him back.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Quinn Young's back. Our starting center hasn't practiced the last
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: two days. Drew Kendall has not practiced the last two days. So,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: you know, we can't win for losing. We can't win
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: for losing. All right.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: What's your final score?
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I'm saying 28-14. Jacksonville wins.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Ooh, that's as bad as I am. I'm picking Jacksonville
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: to take the game 27-17. It hurts to say it.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: It does, man. It does. It hurts my heart.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: You got to tell the truth. You got to tell it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully Barrett and I both will be wrong. I
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: don't think we will, but hopefully both of us will
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: be wrong and we'll find out in the days to come.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: So until next week, for Mr. B, Barrett Brooks, I'm
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Derek Gunn. This has been Birds Weekly presented by the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Inside the Birds Network.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: So long, everybody.
