The DiCecco Daily: More Injuries Have Eagles Light On O-Line · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's happened? Everyone? Welcome into another edition of to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: check O Daily.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: It's Andrew di Checko, Eagles beat reporter for insidethebirds dot Com,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: and today's Thursday, which means it was the first official
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: practice for the Eagles this week. They had a walkthrough
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday, they were on the practice field today, and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: we have a recent injury report that I'm going to
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: read for you in just a moment, and not practicing today.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Defensive tackle Jalen Carter's shoulders, guard Landon Dickerson calf rest,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: tackle Lane Johnson foot so on Landon Dickerson. If you
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: remember back to the injury report from the first day
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: from Wednesday, it was just a walkthrough and that was
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: an estimation. But Landon Dickerson was listed as limited had
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: he practice, So I think the slash rest should quell
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the rest part of that should quell some concerns. Obviously,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Friday is going to be a huge day in terms
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: of figuring out where he lands in the game preparation.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Limited tackle Fred Johnson ankle. That's a new one.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: He was not listed on the estimation yesterday, so presumably
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Fred Johnson injured himself at practice today. Full go linebacker
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Zach Baugh and long snapper Charlie Hewlett, and tackle Cameron Williams.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So the Eagles on Thursday opened the twenty one day
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: practice window for rookie tackle Cameron Williams. And I'm sure
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: some of you may be wondering, why would you do
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that at this stage? Well, I kind of liken it
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to what the Eagles did earlier or throughout the season.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I should say, with Willie Lampkin activating his practice window,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they now have three weeks worth of practice to go
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: off of going into the offseason. They've seen him on
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the practice field during the season. Now you look at
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: someone like Miles Hinton, same thing. The Eagles got three
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: weeks of practice out of him, and I imagine the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: same would be for Cameron Williams, because even all things
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: being equal, Cameron Williams and Miles Hinton, Miles Hinton was
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the player who was further ahead in terms of their development.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I think this is more to get him into the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: flow of practice, gets the under his belt because he
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: was on injury reserve. Believe it was shortly after Week
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: one with the shoulder injury, so he hasn't gotten practice
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: with the team. He's done stuff off to the side
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: independently as he was working his way back. But good
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: news there. We'll see how that all shakes out. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that's your injury report. I think the one that has
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: some eyebrows raised is the Fred Johnson one because, as
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I mentioned, he wasn't listed on Wednesday's estimation, so.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Something to certainly keep an eye on. The Eagles are
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a little light.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: On offensive lineman, at least today at practice. I mean
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in place of Landon Dickerson. I mean Brett Toth is
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the reserve left guard and he's the reserve center. He's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the top backups at both, so he was there today
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and should land and not be able to go this
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: weekend against the Raiders, you would see Brett Toth there
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: at left guard. But again we're going to learn more
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: on Friday. That's why Friday's practice is so critical. Tackle,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: they're really light. They have Matt Pryor and you have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Cameron Williams who's practicing now but he's not on the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: fifty three yet. So yeah, they're a little light there
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: at tackle. But Fred Johnson was still able to participate
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: in unlimited capacity, so we'll see if that continues tomorrow.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: If he's full go.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow, We're going to learn a lot more based off
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of that. The Eagles also will be in a position
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: where they you're going into a game against an inferior
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: team like the Raiders, and they don't have a lot
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: of talent across the board. Sure they have Max Crosby,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: but you know that's just one player. He's an impactful
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: pass rusher, one of the league's best, but there's not
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a lot there. So you could look at this game
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and say, should the Eagles win this convincingly? Yeah, I
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: mean they should conceivably, But I think style points.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Are overrated on me. For me and what I do,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But what I would like to see is certain areas rectified,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and if they're able to win, I think that is
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a positive, no matter how big the margin is. I
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: think if they're able to have a passing game, which
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I thought all things considered on Monday night, looked a
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: lot more advanced and they were trying some different things.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Jay went fit the ball into tight windows a lot
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of times. He delivered some nice touch passes to AJ
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that they were unable to connect on due to some drops.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: But I want to see more more of that, but
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: better execution across the board. If they're able to do
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: things like that against the Raiders defense, they can't stop
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: very many people, and they're among the league's worst. With
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: all due respect, I mean, I think that's I think
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: that's a side of encouragement and progress.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: The defense.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I don't have any concerns at all because they're among
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the NFL's best.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: They are among the elite.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And they're so good that they have the ability and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: they have this season won the Eagles some games. So
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I think that is a super Bowl caliber defense that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: they have, and that's going to be able to keep
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: them in most games. If the offense can just be
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: competent or reach expectations, don't even need to exceed them,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: but just reach it. With that talent level and that defense,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see a lot of progress made there.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: But Eagles defensive coordinator Fitic Vangio also spoke, and I'll
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: highlight a couple of the important ones he talked.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: About Byron Young.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And Byron Young I thought, play lights out a second
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and a half a player who answered the bell, his
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: number was called and he delivered. I had a good
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: conversation with him last week about his opportunity.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's Jeff Mosher. And if you have a family
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: and kids at home, like me, you always want them
• 6:21

• 9:03
  Speaker 2: He played I believe thirty two snaps against the Chargers
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and was disruptive, and you saw all of the young
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: defensive linemen and Brandon Graham, who played quite a bit,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: be able to take on a larger workload and rise
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to the occasion. But Fanjo said, I thought b Y
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: had a good game too. He answered the bell hang
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: on just one second when we needed it, and we're
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: going to continue to need to get that from him
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: moving forward. Uh talked about Brandon Graham playing inside and
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: what he liked about him playing inside. He said, yeah,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: BG is the ultimate pro. He's got strength, he knows
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: how to play blocks. I think will be better this
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: week moving forward. He also talked about a Dori Jackson,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: who I talked a lot about on yesterday's podcast and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: throughout the season, as I've written about him and talked
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: about him on this podcast. Because I always like to
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: offer a different perspective than maybe what you see on
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: social media and things you know from people who are
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: overly critical, or what you hear on talk radio. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: like to offer a perspective of having getting gotten to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: know Dori Jackson and written stories as I've learned more
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: about him, and also how the team views him, how
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: his teammates view him.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's all important.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: But Dick Fangio talked about it and said, yeah, I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: thought he played well this past game. Made a really
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: nice tackle on the wide out there where they tried
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: to isolate him, came up with the pick after JP
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: hit the quarterbacks are and put us in position for
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the field goal there. I thought overall he played well,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and he's been doing that lately. About Jordan Davis, who
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I can tell you from my observations that he is
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: very much becoming and growing into a role as a
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: leader in that locker room.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And I noted that last season.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: But his voice resonates and he radiates positivity, and so
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Vic vangel has said, let me.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Say here, oh sorry about that.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Jordan is really a fun guy to be around, good personality,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: likes being here, comes to work in Joy's work. Yeah,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: he has emerged as somewhat of a leader.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: He has.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And then I want to get to one final one
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: here on Cooper Degene talking about how much of a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: luxury it is to have Cooper Degene inside against a
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: really good route runner past week and Lad McConkie and
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a number of players that he's gone against, and he said,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: it's real important.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: That's why we like to keep him in there.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Obviously, when he's in when we're in base, he plays corners,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: so that tells you we think he's one of our
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: top of our two best corners.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And then nickel. We put him in at the nickel.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Spot because he plays that very very well and it's
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: an important position.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So that was Vic Vangio earlier today.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: And then if you guys get an opportunity check out
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the story that I wrote on Inside the Birds dot
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Com about Brittain Covey talked about how he never wanted
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: to leave Philadelphia. I got into his role when he
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: was on the practice squad, the abundance mentality that he
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: adopted helping other players when he was on the sideline
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and others were out on the field playing.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: And then I got.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Into kick returns because he's entered the season Alwaly having
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: returned eleven kickoffs and he's really taken to that pretty well.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: And I heard his perspective on what makes it different
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: or how he's sort of adjusting to it. I got
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: back into talking to him about his preparation, as he's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: as meticulous as they come on punt return meeting.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: With his unit.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And you know, you know you read the story because
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I don't want to give the give the cliff notes,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean, I always enjoy my conversations with Brittain.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I learn a lot from talking to him.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And there's a quote in that story that I think
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: really depicts or best illustrates his football IQ pride and
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: ownership that he takes in being a return specialist and
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: his role in sort of deciphering those hidden yards and
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: altering field position. He's a really valuable player because of
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the way that he thinks at the expense of his
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: average and things like that. So good conversation there, and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: he's back. He never his confidence never wigh but he's
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: back on the fifty three. He's two games in and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: he's given the Eagles a little bit of a boost there.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: But always fun talking to. It's a great story and
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I always learn something new, as I mentioned when I
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: talk to Britain. So I hope you enjoy that story.
• 14:06
