  Speaker 2: and we moved wide receiver.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We've done quarterback, We've done running back.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: This is going to be wide receiver and obviously a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: lot of new names, a lot of a hierarchy to
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: discuss in this podcast and go inside roles and expectations
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty six. So look forward to going
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: through that with you, Adam. A real quick note, you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: we were really had a great ask an Eagle for
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: our patreon folks this week. Marcus Smith, former Eagles first
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: round pick outside linebacker from the Chip Kelly era, joined
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: us shared his personal story. For those who don't know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I mean yet, he came close to taking his own life.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: He's been very open about that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: He now does a lot of work in the mental
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: health space with athletes and his Circle of Him foundation,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and he took a great time to talk to our
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: patreon members, answer their questions, talk to them both about
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: that and just his football career as we do these
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Asking Eagle sessions for our patreon folks, and it was
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: really cool.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Adam for him to give his time to us and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: come on and share his story.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Dan and Eddy and others who asked questions
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: were great, and there was a story and I totally
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: forgot that he went to Louisville as a quarterback. Yeah,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: well this is the one that I mean, you could
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: push me over with a feather when he said, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: asked him, well did who kind of went up to
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you and said, hey, you know what, dude, you're not
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: going to make it as a quarterback. I'm not going
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: to give it away who did, but it was stunning
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: to me who it was. Just it was just interesting.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I didnt even know this coach was there then when
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: he was there at Louisville. Yeah, there's a certain Eagles tie.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to give it away, but it's a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: really cool story. He's doing phenomenal work. In fact, he's
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: going back to school, he's getting you know, he's he's
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: going to be a clinician so he could continue to
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: work more with people. And also he's working with a
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: couple teams already, so he's he's just he's got a
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: great perspective.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: And you know that the Seahawks story was great with
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Pete Carol Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner. Just amazing, amazing
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: turn around it. He's made his life and all power
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: to him for doing it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it was a great experience, great for
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: our Patreon crowd. I don't again, I say this a lot.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's if anybody else. I don't think
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: anybody else is doing what we do, which is give
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: chance for actual listeners, viewers, subscribers to have conversations, to
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: have their questions asked, to tell stories and hear stories
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: directly in a chat room with former Eagles coaches, players
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and front office executives, and then even Greg Cosell on
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: ask Greg Cosell. So another great reason to be a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Patreon member. It's patreon dot com slash inside the Birds,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: all right, So wide receivers, do we do the hierarchy
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: with aj Brown or without just kidding.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Without what we'll do it without? Yes, exactly, So you're
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: you're ex receivers. So the way I understand this offense
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and a big reason why they drafted mkayle Lemon, it's
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: it's it's the same reason the Steelers want him Kaye Lemon.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: The Steelers Mike McCarthy wasn't his call, but he let
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: their personnel staff know, Hey, listen, I my two outside
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: receivers don't really play inside like you can't really run
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: this offense without a slot receiver. H So that's that's
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a big deal. So we'll get to mkaye Lemon. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: just want people to understand that this offense is gonna
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: be a lot of eleven personnel, some twelve obviously to accommodate.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: He lit stours when they think he's ready to go
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: on the field, Grand Cockatra obviously, who's as a move
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: tight end and God, he could do everything, but your
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: ex receivers are are Wicks, Hollywood, Brown can do that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: He's not he doesn't have the body type, but he's
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: played the exposition. He can do it. He can play
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the move position, which is the Z. But the exes
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: will be don Tevan Wicks, Johnny Wilson. If he's able
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: to run, he'll do some of that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: The disease, which is DeVante Smith's position will be Smith,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: m Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore if he's if he's with
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: them the summer, if he gets there, if he does
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: well enough to get to training, camp and you're and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: the slots will be Lemon Smith has played it, he
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: can do it, and Elijah Moore and that's now as
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: we understand it. Wix can play all three positions. He's
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: not a slot receiver, but you can line him up
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: as a vertical slot to use the size and leverage.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yep. So they have it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: They have what it looks like conceptually. They just have
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to get it together, get their timing down. And this
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: is a this is by the way, this is a
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: big challenge for Aaron moorehead. They're a receivers coach.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Mhm.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: This is a big it's a big challenge for him
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: because they're going to run a new offense. You're completely
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: new offensive scheme and thought process and personnel groupings and
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: it's all got to work and there's a lot of
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: pressure on him to handle it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I would also add that I think with the new
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: play caller Seawan Man in New OC to come up
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: without having Aj Brown, who is as pure of an
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: X and you want him playing one hundred percent of
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: your X snaps as there are. As you're mentioning, they
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: have guys who can play X like Wicks and maybe
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: even Johnny Wilson. He will be an interesting one to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: keep an eye on right because in the old offense
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: in his one year, his rookie year, they saw him
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: more as a power slot. We used to joke he
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: was really a tight end. The way he was used,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he was kind of a blocking wide receiver. But if
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: they can unlock some first of all, if he can
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: come back healthy. It was a pretty gruesome injury. If
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: he comes back healthy and is productive, can they move
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: him around and get some X usage out of him.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He was an outside receiver mostly at Florida State. He
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: did do some inside, But if they can do that Adam,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that betters his chance to make the team and makes
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: it tougher on someone like Elijah Moore.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Who as a fourth or fifth receiver.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Does not have special teams acumen the way Johnny Wilson
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: does well.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: The thing is they're gonna they're gonna still run the
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: ball a lot, and you gotta be able to block
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it at the sheer position. And that's that's a Johnny
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Wilson has one thing that he does well. He can block.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: It's why he's in the NFL. We'll see how healthy
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: is and when we got a chance to look at
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: him in OTA's and what he's allowed to do. But
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: what they really missed him a lot more than we
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: probably anticipated after he got hurt. They really could have
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: used him. But you see how healthy is.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I'm also curious to see where DeVante Smith as a
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: wide receiver one now fits in.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: He's your number one receiver.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: He commonly lines up in the zero of the slot,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: so he's commonly to the right of Jalen Hurts.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: But he can play the acts.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, you don't want him taking too much jamming
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage, but he's good enough to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: evade a jam and to get over the top of
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a corner, so there could be opportunities to get him
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: at the.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Ex position as well.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Every once in a while they would put DeShawn Jackson
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: out there because they knew even if he got pressed,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: if he could get away from it, then there was
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: no shot.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: That corner had no shot to catch up to the Shawn.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So you would see the Sean lineup occasionally at the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: X and make a play down the field, not often.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I think Tampa actually did it when he was with Tampa.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Was it monk in Oc because I remember he played
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the x more there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I think he did right. And by the way, Lemmit
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: could also play Hell play the Z as well. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: his primary position is going to be the slot and
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: that's every team saw him like that, Like that's got
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: to be his position because he is so strong for
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: a smaller guy like I can't wait to see the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: battles in mandatory camp is when you can get a
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: little bit more physical and obviously in training camp and
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: how and how Vic handles it nice, you know, that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: where Cooper Degene lines up a lot inside YEP. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: look forward to seeing that one. That'll be fun one.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: There's it's gonna look different. We haven't seen anything since
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: we've done the show nine years. We really have not
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: seen anything like this in terms of deployment. And the
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: other thing is, and we'll get to the tight end
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: to the next show, but they've got all sorts of
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: possibilities to tight ending this offense conceptually could look really
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: interesting going forward.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Right, right, So the top four guys are pretty clear,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: it's just how do the snaps go. DeVante Smith is
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: number one, Lemon two, and then you've got Dontavian Wicks three,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown four in some kind of order. You know, obviously, Hollywood,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Brown and Wix are different kinds of receivers and do
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: things differently. And of course, as we mentioned all the time, Adam,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of twelve personnel, so there'll
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: be a time that only three wide receivers are on
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the field. There'll be a time only two wide receivers
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and two tight ends will be on the field. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: your number three or four receiver in this offense may
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: not be used as much as a number three receiver
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: in more of an eleven personnel heavy offense.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: So that'll be interesting to see.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Five and six is kind of a pretty interesting race
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: because you've got Darius Cooper, who was really impressive last
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: year as a rookie free agent wide receiver. You talked
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: about Eli Moore, Johnny Wilson coming back from the injury,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Danny Gray who can't stay healthy, but when he's healthy,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: has that speed.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: But he's got about and we don't do percenters usually,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: but he's got a one percent chance to make it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: He just can run. He's been an injury train wreck,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: but he can run. He can run, and so Qus Watkins,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: it's unbelievable. He's still he's back again. Most people even
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: know that, but he's back. So yeah, the when when
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: they go eleven, Wix is almost certain to be in there,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: like their base offense. If they're going, if they're if
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: they're if they open up in twelve, more often than
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: not will be Smith and Lemon, assuming Lemon's ready, assuming
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: he's a good train kit metal, he's picking everything up,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: good call. And then when they go to eleven, Wix
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: is in there as the ex Smith is his a
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Lemons a slot or vice versa. You could you could
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: reverse that by the way you have that got the
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: possibility to do it. They can go with the speeds
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: package of Brown Smitty and Wix is not fast, but
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: he's big. He gives you something and I'll let you
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I know. Elijah Moore, it's been
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: really tough going from recent years. The guy can run.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I'm interesting to see how he looks. I know he's
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: a long shot, but the guy, it's not like he's
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: thirty years old, you know.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: True, true, I just you know, we always go back
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: to if you're not contributing on special teams, then you
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: have to be a top three receiver. And it's hard
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: to see a pathway to him being a.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I know it's tough because tis always go to special teams.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: He's he just turned twenty six in March. You know.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So do you think any of the top four that
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: we discussed could be somebody that is one of those surprise?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I guess what I'm getting at is, let's say Darius
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Cooper makes a really big jump. They love what they
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: see out of him in training camp and it's not
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: far fat. He had a really good training camp last year.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Is the best receiver at training camp last Yeah?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Absolutely? Would Could that possibly kick a one year? Could
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it possibly kick Mark He's Brown off the off.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Five million? Guaranteed? He would have to be so bad?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, remember.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Huh with Devin White, I mean he it was not good,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: but it got really bad late and late in August
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: for him that three years ago, and so they didn't
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: cut him. Then he asked for his release, so they
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: agreed to a reduced salary to get off the roster.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: He Hollywood Brown could fly. There are reasons, as we
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: understand it. Why is yards per catch averages and higher
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: timing with mahomes, which is by the way, it's something
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: we've harped on and not enough though. The receivers have
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to other than Smitty I. J. Brown didn't do a
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: good enough job. The receivers have to help Hurse out
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: come back to the football. So drill man, this is coaching.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: It's it's inexcusable how many times hurt scrambles around, pocket
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: breaks down, help him come back to the football. It's
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: just it's one of the things that really bothers me
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: is like you watch Mahomes. They all do it. They
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: know the way he plays, they know how to do it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: It's not like Hurts doesn't do it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, yeah, no, I agree. We complained about that
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: a lot last year. So to your point, though, the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: finances alone, and this is why the contracts, as you
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: said in our first episode about quarterbacks, they matter and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: they help you figure out the picture.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: So your top four are set.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: If under my scenario, Cooper just balls out again and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: they really like him, he could be your number five. Okay,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Then it comes down to if you're the Eagles, are
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: you keeping a sixth?
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Is that six your punt returner? Does that make Britain Covey? Yes?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: And for the equation over a Johnny Wilson or an
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Eli Moore, or any great question.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Honestly, it's this is be the toughest. Didn't Andrew do
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: for Dalidrchuko is way too early? Fifty three? Yes, I
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: have to hear it because I don't know how you
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: get like unless somebody gets hurt, you know how he
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: like he?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: On the offensive line, they've got four development offensive line
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna be on the roster bar and something
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: highly unforeseen, right plus Fred Johnson that's ten.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm married to a they're keeping eleven offensive line, right,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I don't even anyway around it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and and and and look they've got four quarterbacks.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: You got to go light somewhere.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: You got Yeah, you can't keep everybody. Man, It's it's
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: it's uh, it's tough. It's gonna be real tough. Safety
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: is a kind of a quagmire because of the uh
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: it's such a there's so much gray area with safety
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: rather than mccouba, you know they I mean, I wouldn't
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: surprise me if they only went three there, because sure
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: certainly no more than four. It's tough.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: You don't need six receivers, by the way, you can
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: use you can get covey on the practice squad for
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: three weeks and then you can get another punt returner
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: if you if you're not or or Marquise Brown, which
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: you should be, but if you're not, then you can
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: get you can get Bye on it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I'm looking to see if Covey is vested,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: because yeah, might be vested. I'm not sure because he
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: If he is, then he would be subject to waivers,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: the easier to get in the practice squad. But yeah,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: so to move this along here, they've got the exposition
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: is is is Wix, particularly when they go eleven personality,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: He's almost certain to be the ex They got plenty
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: of ease, they got plenty of slots, but the big
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: one is Lemon first time, and I don't know how
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: long they have a true slot receiver like he's That's
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: where he's going to roam. That's where he's going to
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: dominate again. I'm looking really forward to the offseason pro
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: game when they're allowed to have competition, seeing how vic
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Fandrew decides to cover on it. What Kyle Lemon?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the YouTube folks just saw me throw my fists
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: in the air because I've been the biggest slot wide
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: out cheerleader that there ever, was like they need a
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: slot wide out and they absolutely have somebody who can
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: play the slot. Before we get out of here, I
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: also think they have some real We talked about what
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: eleven personnel versus twelve personnel could look like. Right, they
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: can even and they probably will have a different red
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: zone eleven and twelve personnel.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: You get your bigger guys out there.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, if Johnny Wilson makes the team, then he's
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a guy you can see them throwing on the outside
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: in the inside the red zone, throw the fade ball
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to because of his height.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: What is he sixty six right?
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Six six six six plus yep six six.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can do that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: And then in twelve personnel he can be one of
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: two receivers. Eleven you can have that slot receiver. You
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: can move Wix like you said, or anyone who's got
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: some height in there.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: To the slot and cause a little bit mismatched. So uh,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: this has been the.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Most optionality that the Eagles have had from top to
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: bottom at wide receiver in at least three years. I mean,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: they just have not had great depth there. And I'm
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: not saying they have great depth. What I'm saying is
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: they have players who can play at the three, four
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and five spots that they can use, and they haven't
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: been able to do that in quite a while. Hey,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Philly fans, game day is stressful enough. Parking, traffic, long lines,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: We've all been there, But when it comes to your cannabis,
• 16:24

  Speaker 2: inn Apothecary top quality cannabis, great prices, and an experience
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: made for Philly fans twenty one and up.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: All right when they go to their speed package. Speed
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: package nice, so Eli Stowers, absolutely, we'll be able to
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: play X well when he knows what he's doing. That's
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: exactly where they'll put them. Good point because they they
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: actually did it with Earth some Greg pointing it out
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: to us Greco so many many years ago. They've done
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: it with Goddard one three. Yeah, it's very typical and
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Stowers could flat out fly. So yeah, you could figure
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: out as long as Stwars knows what he's doing, you
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: could get him on the field early. I mean, he's
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: not gonna play a ton of snaps as a rookie
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: h but yeah, you could get him on the package.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: They absolutely could have a speed package. There's you and
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I are seeing this the same way. They have so
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: much versatility to this offense. They apps have to put
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: it together. Guys have to know what they're doing. It
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: may not look great all the time, particularly in their
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: off season program because they're installing a brand new scheme
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: which you've not run anything close to this before. But
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: the optionality with all these receivers and what they can
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: do and tight ends and what they could do got
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about this on the ten Ends show. But
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: God could do various positions of the ten, he plays
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: all three of them. Ut Ours Stours has to learn it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Johnny Munt, You know, is your is your is your
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: wide tight end, and then you've got the ability to
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: spread everybody out with this deep group. I'm looking forward
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: to this, man, this is This could be really interesting.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm glad you. To be clear, I'm not
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: predicting everybody's making the Pro Bowl. I'm just saying that
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: for a new offense. The objective was pretty clear in
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the offseason. Get a new offense and then get enough
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: pieces to make the offense work. I mean, the old
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: way of just having one or two guys who are
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: gonna feature and run a bunch of hit routs is
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: not going to be the case anymore. And even some
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: of this X Y flex stuff we're talking about will
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: go a little bit by the wayside because you'll see
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: dense formations. You'll see bunch and trip formations, and you
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: won't even know the exill change post snap because guys
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: will motion and.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Things of that nature. So that's a space creation type.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Of offense and I'm looking forward to that part of
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: it too, because that will be unique to the offense
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's versatility and positional versatility. It's gonna look different.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Can't wait to see it when the veterans come in.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: That's really when things start heating up. Rookie camps. I'm
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: gonna cover them for over two decades. Nothing, it's nothing,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: there's nothing, nothing exact. What I like to find out
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: is anyone really behind mentally though, That stuff matters because
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: they're when you when you call around the league go yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: he's he's a ways away, like you can hear in
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: coaches voices sometimes when guys you're just not there yet,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: But looking forward to talking to that in the next show.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Tight End, it's gonna be fascinating.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: All right, tight End and an offensive line after that
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: will finish out the offense. That is it for our
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: look at the wide receiver depth chart, and that's gonna
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: be it for Inside the Birds the Leading and Eagles Intel,
