  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Welcome into another episode of the Checko Daily. It's Andrew
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: de Checko, Eagles beat reporter for Inside the Birds dot
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Com with you, And today was day four of Eagles
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: training camp. Weather pushed it indoors, which is always an
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: interesting conundrum when you're fitting ninety players, the coaches and
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: training staff and media as well into the Eagles practice bubble.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: But they may do.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And they got a lot of quality work in the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: practice run about an hour and forty minutes.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Today, and.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I thought that while there's been a lot made about
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the offense and how they've really struggled to find their rhythm,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: they're able to get some things going today.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And I thought Jalen.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Hurts had his best practice of the summer through four practices,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: of course, but that's why it's so important that you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: never want to make too much off of a few
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: days a day a week. You want to let things
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: develop a little bit and give them the benefit of
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the doubt that they're going to figure it out.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: But let's get to the practice report.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Not practicing outside linebacker Keyshawn James Newby with an ankle.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Right tackle Lane Johnson excused not injured related.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Guard Michael Morris' shoulder, guard Jayden Roberts calf contusion, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: safety Coal was Nesky hamstring limited offensive tackle Cameron Williams
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: with a knee contusion. It's also worth noting that rookie
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: wide receiver Makai Lemon was a participant during individuals, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I did not see him during team drill, something certainly
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: that I will be monitoring moving forward. I do think
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that Tuesday's practice really stands to be the best of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the or the most eventful of the of the season
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: for training camp. But practice began in a seven on
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: seven session, or I should say a team period, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it was first team offense versus the second team defense,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: so you were seeing a lot of mixing and matching
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: on the defensive back end, Andre Sam and Michael Carter
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the second at safety. They were working in Jacoryan Bennett,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Ambry Thomas and Mac McWilliams at corner. Taric Castro Fields
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: got in for a handful of reps. The linebackers were
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Chance Campbell and Smile Monden Junior Jaywhen Hurts actually threw
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: his first interception of the summer to Quinnon Mitchell during
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: this session, and it was Elijah Moore who was the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: intended receiver. It looks like there was a miscommunication along
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the sideline there. Quinyon Mitchell secured the pass. Another highlight
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: from this session, linebacker Chance Campbell sniffed out a run
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: for Sakwon Barkley. It was to the right for no gain.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: You can see that there was the players along the sideline.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: We're pretty excited to see him.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: There make a play there, and.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Jaywen Hurts and Elijah Moore had a really nice connection.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It was a deep post where he threaded the needle.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: He really ripped it in there. Nice completion. Elijah Moore,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: who was excused from Sunday's practice. He's an interesting player
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and I continue to talk about him and I will
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: as long as he keeps making plays.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Because he can play the receiver position.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: The question becomes how does he fit into the special
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: teams equation here? And maybe that's where he becomes looked
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: at as a pump returner potentially, but as a receiver
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: he's made plays and when Jalen Hurts is looking your
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: way and you answer the.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Call, you're gonna get more of those opportunities.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Andy Dalton was first up as the second team quarterback.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: The third team quarterback was Tanner McKee, But that's a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: rotation that's going to continue to go on. I thought
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Andy Dalton had a nice practice today. Didn't notice a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: ton from Tanner McKee. Just quickly scanning my notes. Again,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to sit there and organize
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: them and write it for the website, so I'm kind
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: of giving you guys, you know, my fresh perspective here,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: so I apologize if.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: They're a little bit scattered.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: But Andy Dalton had a good practice.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: He hit.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Quez Watkins, there was a play that he had where
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: he had a nice throw over the middle to Johnny
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Wilson on an inbreaker with ja Hot Campbell and coverage.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: The Tanner McKee play from this session that I recall
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: was one.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, Philly fans game day is stressful enough. Parking, traffic,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: long lines, We've all been there, But when it comes
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: to your cannabis, Camden Apothecary makes it easy. This is
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: the dispensery for sports fans, just minutes outside of Philly,
• 5:03

  Speaker 4: even show love to the community with specials for fans, students,

  Speaker 4: service members, and healthcare pros. Cam din Apothecary top quality cannabis,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans twenty
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: one and up.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And then Tanner McKee hits rookie tight Ond Eli Stowers
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: on a short pass to the right, but he's popped
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: by linebacker Zach Bond.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: That was the first portion of those drills.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Then you get to the eleven on eleven period and
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: veteran edge rusher aj Epenessa Sachs and I put that
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: in their quotes. Tanner McKee, there was nothing open down
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the field. Quinnon Mitchell with the interception for seven on seven.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That was one that I mentioned was a miscommunication there
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: at least it appeared to be along the sideline, but
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: as you'll learn here in a moment, Elijah Moore made
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: up for that. Later on, Johnny Munt caught a crosser
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: from Jay when Hurts was Zach Bond in a coverage.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: There was one moment where Zach Bond, by the.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Way, had a really active practice looking back, but Jalen
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Hurts tried deep to tank Bigsby.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: He led the you know the past was.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Would have led him out of bounds and it was
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: too far anyway, But pretty good coverage there from Bonn.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And then the play that I was referring to was
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: actually Elijah Moore with this is the deep post play
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: because that's where Jayalen threw probably his best past the day,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: really ripped it in there. Drew mccoob was coming over
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit late there, but it was a really
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: good pass to thread it in between, you know, find
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the saft spot. It was the deep post. And then
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Andy Dalton fit another one into Hollywood Brown between Jonathan
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Jones and Andre Sam on an over route. Andy Dalton
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: checked it down left to Elijah Moore shortly thereafter, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Andre Sam was right there to tag him.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: If that were a game situation, he's likely.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Getting blown up.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: But nevertheless, there was also a moment where Cole Payton
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: had made the notebook. Here he chucked it shot deep
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: to wide receiver Era Gazukonma. It was a crowded It
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: was a crowded traffic jam there, and Maximus Pulley was
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: there to break it up. But the most fascinating part
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: of practice was the eleven on eleven red zone period.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts connects with wide receiver DeVante Smith inside the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: right pylon. It was an out route where he created
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: just enough space between Jonathan Jones to give Jayalen Hurts
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: a nice window to get the ball to him. He
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: gets right inside the right pylon, then he goes right
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: back to Devonte Smith, who gets in front of Cornerbackreek Wollen,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: So Davonte Smith and Jayalen Hurts heating up a little
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: bit there in the tight red zone. Andy Dalton gets
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: in the action there and he goes to Eli Stowers,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: but the pass is well defended by edge rusher Arnold A.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Bkatie who rips the pass away and then Andy Dalton
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: responds by ripping an inbreaker to wide receiver Johnny Wilson.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Johnny Wilson's been a little quiet.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Over the past couple of practices, Darius Cooper has sort
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of elevated his performance and he's gotten more first team reps,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: and that held true on Monday. Then they get into
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the third and eight situations, and this was a third
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and eight from the eight. Andy Dalton does a nice
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: job scanning the field, staying poised and composed in the pocket,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and then with nothing developing in the end zone, he
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: ends up checking it down at Will Shipley to the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: right side and Will pretty much waltz right in for
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a walk in score. Dalton then hits Hollywood Brown in
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the left corner with Ambry Thomas in coverage, not for
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a touchdown, but he got it out to him. Then
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: there's another third and eight situation from the a Tanner
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: McKee the quarterback. He takes the snap, it looks like
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: he wants to go to Danny Gray on the out route,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: similar to the one I just outlined for Devonte Smith.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: But I thought that undrafted rookie Kapina gushikin the nickel
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: corner did a nice job of taking that away. But
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Tanner remained composed and then he fired one off into
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the back of the end zone to know what in
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: particular looked like.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I think Stone's smart.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: The tight end may have been the target, but it
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: looked like it was picked off by Maximus Pulley. But
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: it turns out that it was ended up. It ended
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: up incomplete. In a red zone situation, Jalen Hurts keeps
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: it up the middle for a touchdown.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He looks spry.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I think that's important to note. Not only does he
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: look leaner, he looks to be a little bit more
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: explosive in dynamic than he was last season, and that
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: was really indicative of that. Taking it up the middle
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and getting into the end zone. Andy Dalton in the
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: red zone, it looked like Keeley Ringo was flagged against
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Darius Cooper and he lost it up to No One
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in that in that situation. So as we move forward
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: here towards the latter part of this situation, Andy Dalton
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: hands it off to to Tank Bigsby Moro Jomo, who
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: also had a really nice practice, got into the backfield
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and Byron Young was there to.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Wrap him up.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Third and two with the ones going up with eleven
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: on eleven.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: If I could create a cash app card to best
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: represent my family, it would be a cup of coffee,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: but not in a mug. It would be in one
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: of those styrofoam to go cups. Because basically that is
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: our family, always hitting those coffee places with the styrofoge cups.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: You know them very well and nothing makes my kids
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: happier than hitting up those places early and often. For

• 13:13
  Speaker 2: That was a handoff to Saquon Barkley up the middle
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: second and five, Darius Cooper makes a really nice sliding play.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: He extends for it and Jalen Hurts then keeps it
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: on the next play.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: The second team offensive line was you're looking at.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Mark hel Bell, Jake Majors, Drew Kendall, Michael Jordan, and
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Fred Johnson as well at right tackle. Fred Johnson got
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the initial nod with Lane Johnson out there at right tackle,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: but Markel Bell also got a little bit of work
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: there as well. That's a really interesting situation and one
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that I will be certainly keeping an eye on moving
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: forward and we'll see how they distribute the snaps in.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: The preseason as well. U R.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Bernard picked up his first sack of training camp. It
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: was nice to see him out there and getting some work.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: He got some developmental work late in the session. He
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: got in there along with Ty Robinson, so he'd like
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: to see that. There was one instance where Cameron Williams
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: bleue uar off the ball and Cameron Williams helmet came off.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: That was again towards the back end of the session,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: but from a developmental period. There was one play where
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Cole Peyton hitsdaikuon right, but it was short of the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: end zone. Then there's the second and eight and Cole
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Payton throws throws behind, really behind Carson Steele on the flat,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: but he responds favorably and he fires into the back
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: of the end zone for wide receiver Eric Azukama, who
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: bobbles it with good coverage from tree castro fields, but
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: he's ultimately able to secure it and then going for
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the win for the two point conversion, he hits tight
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: end Stone Smart in the front middle of the end
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: zone with Chance Campbell and coverage. So there was a
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: lot of situational based drills and high leverage situations. But
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I think for the offense as a whole, they got
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of good completions. They facilitated the football to
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of different receivers. It looks like it was
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: a pretty strong day for Jalen Hurts and Andy Dalton,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and particularly for Jalen that's what you want to see.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Those are tangible things you can build on moving forward.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: It's going to ramp up a little bit in terms
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: of intensity. Once you get on the practice field, the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: pad start popping, and this is going to be a
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: really big week for Eagles. Practice five practices this week,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you got the injury report, everything else up to date,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: that's off the top of my mind, the most notable
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: things that happened on Day four of Eagles training camp. Again,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: we will keep an eye on Makay Lemon, who didn't
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: appear to be out there at all during team drills,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: but though he was there for individuals and every other
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: injury that I mentioned. I will be updating you on
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: that as well tomorrow morning. But for now, that's going
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: to do it for this episode. Up to check O Daly,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I'm Andrew to Checko, and I'll catch you all on
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the next one.
