• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's happened everybody? Welcome into this edition of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Czech Odaly. It's Andrew Dechecko, Eagles beat reporter for Inside
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the Birds dot Com, reporting to you live from Lincoln
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Financial Field. I'm in one of the little booths here
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: recording this podcast, and the Eagles beat the Detroit Lions
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in a defensive slugfest by a score of sixteen to nine.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of takeaways from this game, and there's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a lot that has yet to be determined. You know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni speaking right now, jaywhen hurtzys yet to speak.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But I spoke to a number of different players in
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the locker room, including linebacker n Kobe Dean, who had
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a heck.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Of a football game tonight. And let's start with the weather.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And it was extremely windy here in South Philadelphia. There
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: were leaves rustling. You can clearly see that that was
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: impacting both kickers. In pregame, you could see the flags waving,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the goalpost sort of wavering a little bit, and that certainly,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I believe at least played a part in the game tonight.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: But let's look at some of the stats immediately. Quarterback
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Jay when Hurst completed fourteen of twenty eight passes for
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty five yards, while adding another thirty
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: two and a touchdown on the ground. Running Back Saquon
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Barkley carried twenty six times for eighty three yards. The
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: leading receiver was aj Brown, who secured seven of eleven
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: pass targets for forty nine yards. Defensively, linebacker Zach Bond
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: led the way with seven tackles and to Kobe Dean
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and Jalen Phillips each.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Picked up a sack.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: For Phillips it was his first sack since joining the Eagles,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: while Dean registered his second sack in as many games.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Inactive for the Eagles were quarterback Sam Howell, who was
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the emergency third quarterback, quarnterback Mac McWilliams, running back AJ Dillen,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman Drew Kendall, and defensive tackle Ty Robinson.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: The Eagles elected for.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: No practice squad elevations this week, as all fifty three
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: players entered Sunday night healthy. Let's get to some of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: my observations. First and foremost, I thought it was really
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: cool that leading the Eagles out of the tunnel was
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Brett Toth, who was a West Point graduate and he
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was carrying the American flag. It was a really cool moment.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And then you got to see, you know, a really
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: nice rendition of the US Army Quartet Chorus band doing
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the national anthem, and it really set the tone for
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the game, I felt, And so that was just something
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I wanted to I jotted down to my observations that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I thought was really cool to see. But the Lions
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: won the opening coin toss, they elected to defer, which
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: brought on the Eagles offense. That was, you know, really
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: much really under the microscope to start. Fred Johnson started
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the game as an extra offensive lineman and herts. His
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: first throw of the game goes to DeVante Smith, who
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was unable to hold on following a hit from cornerback
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Robertson Dallas Goddard. He had room to run, he was open.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: This is the second play he dropped the ensuing pass.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: DeVante Smith and Dallas Goddard each dropped at least two passes,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: so it was really uncharacteristic because both are relatively shurethanded,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: especially Davante. But the Eagles wasted little time involving aj Brown.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: He reeled in a twelve yard catch on the third play.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Of the game, and it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Looked like things were starting to get rolling a little bit,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and then Elaine Johnson penalty halted all momentum and the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Eagles were eventually forced to punt, and that drive covered
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: just eighteen yards and six plays, and that sort of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: set the scene for the offensive performance really on both sides.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But from a Philadelphia perspective.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The offense left a lot to be desired, and you're
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: quickly going to find out that the defense had to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: do a lot of the heavy lifting for the second
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: consecutive week. And honestly, while it hasn't been as dire
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: some weeks, the defense has really held up its end
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of the bargain more so than the offense for most
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of this season, if we're keeping things one hundred here.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But the defense picked up where it left off a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: week ago. On the first and ten from the Lions
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: twenty six, Jordan Davis got a hand up to deflect
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a pass that actually fell into the waiting arms of
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Cooper Dejean, who picks the pass off or turns at
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: twenty one yards and then the offense was unable to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: punch it in and they were forced to settle for
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a twenty seven yard Jake Elliott field goal. But you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: can clearly see that the defense early in this game
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: was making Jared Goff uncomfortable from the beginning, and they
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: got a lot of batted passes in this game. Jordan
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Davis had two, Jalen Carter got a couple, and it
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: just seemed to be a prevailing theme throughout the game.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Presumably the Eagles saw something on the scouting report and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: were able to take advantage of it, but Jared Goff
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: looked extremely rattled in this game. But a week after
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: generating six tackles in a forced fumble and a half
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: dozen pressures, Jalen Phillips recorded his first sack since joining
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, which I just mentioned. He dropped Jared Goff
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for a five yard loss, and on that play, while
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Willip's ability to.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Turn the corner was impressive, it was the standout.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: The standout on that play was defensive tackle Jayalen Carter,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: who absolutely flattened right guard Tate Ratledge, and he provided
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: consistent pressure throughout the evening.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I'm speaking about Jalen Phillips here.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Some curious decisions from Dan Campbell and Nakobe Dean after
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the game mentioned that the fact that they went on
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: fourth down quite a bit. He almost as a defensive
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: player take that as disrespect, but he said that he
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: knew and was well aware of what they did and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what they were about as a team. But Dan Campbell
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: usually skews on the aggressive side, and there was a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: time where it was a fourth and six.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: This is early in the game.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It became a fourth and eleven, gave himselves more room
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to punt, but it was in plus territory, and maybe
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the conditions and the personality of the game contributed to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: this traditional line of thinking. But I couldn't help but
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: wonder if the Eagles slow start offensively played a role.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It's worth noting that Campbell elected to go for it
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on fourth and one on the ensuing drive, with defensive
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: tackle Jomo knifing through to stuff running back Jamiir Gibbs
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: for no gain. As I've written about, Ajuma has a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: flare for making plays and critical moments, and Campbell's reckless
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: tendency surface once again on the following drive, electing to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: direct snap the ball after showing punt on a fourth
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and two, the Eagles turned into another three points.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Right tackle Lane Johnson.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: He exited with a foot injury and was ruled out,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and that press Fred Johnson into service as his replacement.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Much like last week when Johnson was sidelined for most
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of the game, the Eagles didn't scrap the jumbo package again.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: It was veteran Matt Pryor who was elevated into that role.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to be here to stay, regardless
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of who the Eagles have from a personnel standpoint, because
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: they seemed inclined on getting that extra offensive lineman in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: there and playing that physical, bullyball style and trying to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: get things rolling offensively. In terms of the rushing attack,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it felt like it was all a matter of time
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: before a pass happy offense tested the Eagles number two cornerback,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and it didn't happen early in the contest, but at
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: some point the second quarter, I believe Jared Goff targeted
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to Dory Jackson. He was in coverage on the forty
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown from Lions wide receiver Jamison Williams. Williams was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: targeted was tagged for an unsportsman like penalty and that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: pushed the extra point back.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Lions kicker Jake Base didn't come close.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Dorry Jackson had a really big pass breakup last late
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in the game when the Lions went for on a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: fourth and three, he you know he was He made
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a savvy veteran play where he used the back of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the end zone as an extra defender in aiding him
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in coverage and he really sort of squeezed a Monros
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Saint Brown and narrowed that throwing window.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And I mentioned that to him after the game.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He goes, ah, you know, a little ball, huh, because
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that was a savvy veteran play. Vic Vangiel earlier this
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: week referred to a Dori Jackson as a survivor and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I asked him about that as well. What that meant
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to hear that from his defensive coordinator, and he he
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: gave a really good answer.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I off the train describe it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But it was one of those things where he deserves
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of credit because he's caught a lot of flak.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of it was really unfair.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Aside from that first game where he struggled, I think
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: he's been serviceable.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And I think it's very telling.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: That a lot of his teammates were really excited in
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the postgame locker room about his performance about him contributing
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in a big way to this win, and if he
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: can continue to play at that level, the Eagles have
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a really complete defense. And I think those of you
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: who were reluctant to look at a Dori Jackson and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: give him credit or have confidence that the Eagles and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Vic Fangio saw something and trust in that. I think
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it's time to now give him some props because I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think that the more that he's playing, the more reps
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he's getting within this system. He's playing faster, he's trusting
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: his technique, and he's building that continuity with his fellow
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: secondary members.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: So good stuff there from a Dory. Hey it's Jeff.
• 9:00

• 11:42
  Speaker 1: The Eagles put together an impressive ten place sixty four
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: yard scoring drive to essentially close out the half. The
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: drive featured a perfect blend of run and pass and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: some sparsely utilized offensive components such as tight end Kylin
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Grantson and running back Tank Bigsby. Bigsby in fact kickstar
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of the drive with a seventeen yard run on second
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and thirdeen. The energy Tank Bigsby brings as a change
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: up is noticeable. Grantson would also be targeted on a
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: third and five, but that play would fall in complete. Look,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I know that Kevin Patulo is gonna get questioned for
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that from the outside, not from us who cover the team,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: but from the outside. But you have to imagine he
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't the primary on that play, and he does bring
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: some athleticism on the outside he can separate.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: It was a you know, I didn't.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Think the pass was bad, especially in those conditions, but
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that's the way it goes. And you know, every once
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in a while you work in different different players and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: personnel groupings to catch defenses off guard. The Eagles defense
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: held the lines to zero for four on third down
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: opportunities in the first half, adding to the defensive dominance.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Pik Fangio's group held the dynamic rushing tandem of Jamiir
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Gibbs and David Montgomery to twenty two yards on nine carries.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Again, this was in the first half. Pivoting to special
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: teams for a moment.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I've said this more than a few times this season,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: but full back tight end cam Latsu is an absolute
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: force on special teams. I can't say enough good things
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: about what he's brought, and I will always key in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: on kickoff where he is because players like cam Latsu
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and Sydney Brown blow things up. They play a very
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: physical brand of football. They get downhill, they're like heat
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: seeking missiles and they crave contact. But a lot two
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: collected a solo stop in kick coverage and was in
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on multiple others, and he brings discernible physicality and urgency
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to teams. He also landed a quality block on the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: second quarter of Saquon Barkley run at the goal line
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that was initially ruled a touchdown, but then then they
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: initially ruled it was short and that set up the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: one yard jay when hurts plunge. Speaking of special teams,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: great hustle and getting downfield and seeking work from long
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: snapper cal Ademitas on multiple occasions, collecting a pair of stops.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: That third and one false.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Start penalty from Raichguar Tyler Stein was really interesting because
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: then the replay clearly shows encroachment from defensive tackle Tyler Williams.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Stein looked like he brushed his hands back.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And then Williams lunged across the line. And Tyler Steen
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: is a quiet guy. He doesn't necessarily have a personality
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: where he's gonna be, you know, raucous or you know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: cause a stir if you will. But he was noticed,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: wabll be animated once he realized he was the player flag.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So that tells you that there was a disconnect there
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and he took some exception to the call because if
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you watch the replay, Tyler Williams clearly, you know, touch
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: touched his hand as he was, you know, grazing across
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the line.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: You can't do that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I mentioned this already, But great situational awareness by Jackson
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Dori Jackson on the fourth and three third down, third
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: quarter stand using the back end of the end zone
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to aid and squeezing a mom ros Saint Brown and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: narrowing that throwing window. And how about Jake Elliott, a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: strong outing from him who connected on field goals with
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: twenty seven, thirty four and forty nine yards.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: In difficult conditions.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Now we have to look at this offense because there
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: were many times in this game where there were just
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: wasted opportunities. Jaywhen Hurts and his past targets weren't able
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to connect. There were drops, there were a lot of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: untimely penalties. In fact, Cam Jurgens later in the game
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: left and was replaced by Brett Toath. Cam Jurgens was
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: in the I believe he was in the medical tent,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: So we'll have to wait and see what injury it
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: was was, what's the extent and all of that. But
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line struggled in this game. There
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: was a lot of times where Jay when Hurts was
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: under duress. So you couple that with a passing game
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that again wasn't clicking. There were drops when the plays
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: were there to be made, and I mean, they have
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to get it together. The defense continues to stockpile admirable
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: heroic performances and it's unrealistic and it's just not feasible
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: for them to continuously do that. Think about what they did.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: They went out there and they held the high powered
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions offense to nine points in this game. Guys
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: like Zach Bond, Nakobe Dean, Jalen Phillips, Jalen Carter, Moro, Jomo,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Jordan Davis. Drew mccuba was a player that Nakcobe Dean
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: singled out. He said, if you heard the licks that
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Drew mccouba was putting on the running backs when he
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: was getting downhill, He said, man, that dude was playing physical, reed, blanketship,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Quinyon Mitchell, Dori Jackson, across the board. I've named just
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: about every player who was out there, and they were
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: all making plays. They were all flowing to the football
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and sort of taking joy in whoever was making the play.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: They didn't care who made the play.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: They just wanted to go out there and do what
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: they needed to do to get off the field and
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: give the offense back the football.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: But I mean, if it wasn't for.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That defensive performance, this game could have gotten out of hand.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty, but it doesn't matter because the Eagles
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: won the football game. They're going to continue to build
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: off of this, and especially as a defense.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Offensively, they have to go back to the drawing board.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Hey, Philly, fans.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Game day is stressful enough.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Parking traffic, long lines, We've all been there, But when
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: it comes to your cannabis, Camden Apothecary makes it easy.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: This is the dispensary for sports fans, just minutes outside
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: of Philly, with plenty of free parking.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: You'll be in and out.

  Speaker 3: Fast, no hassle, no waiting, and they don't just care
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: about convenience. Camden Apothecary is all about the guest experience.

• 17:52
  Speaker 3: They even show love to the community with specials for fans, students,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: service members, and healthcare pros. Handed in Apothecary, top quality cannabis,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans twenty
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: one and up.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: This offense is too talented for them to continuously appear
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: as though.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: They're laboring down the field, and there's the self inflicted
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: wounds that keep surfacing. They're gonna have to clean that up.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: But what I will say is, if you're looking across
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the NFL and you're watching football on Sunday, it's hard
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to pinpoint another team that could give the Eagles a
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: serious run for their money later in the season.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Sure you could look at the Seahawks.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I happen to like Sam Darnold, but he threw four
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: interceptions Sunday afternoon, and you have to wonder how he
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: would fare under the duress that the Eagles put on
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. I have
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to think that he might falter under the pressure. The Rams, well,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the Eagles play them already this season. They gave him
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: a good game. Matthew Stafford's playing as good as any
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the league, and you can make an argument
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that he should be the MVP at least at this point.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: That's a team you can make a case for. But
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: outside that, maybe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Baker Mayfield.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: They could be getting Mike Evans back. They have a
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: defense under Todd Bowles that knows how to get after it.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: They're savvy, they're tough, they're physical, So that might be
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: one of those teams. But really the Eagles, in my estimation,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: are head and shoulders above. Maybe not head and shoulders,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: but they are the class of the NFC. They have
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to tighten things up offensively, of course, I don't know
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: how many different times I can say that each and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: every week, but if they're able to at least round
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: somewhat into form, coupled with that defense, that's going to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: be a formida formidable combination. But for now, that's going
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to do it. For this edition of the Czech O Daily,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I am Andrew Decheco, and I will catch you with
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: a Monday edition after hearing from Nick Siriani in his
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: day after press conference
