• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Jeff Boscher from the Inside the Birds podcast is here.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Hard to think football. We have all these playoffs going on. Man,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we got the six Ers tonight, We've got the Flyers
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: tonight as well. That game's on Rock one oh four
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to one. But the Eagles were on the practice field
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: this weekend, right, I mean they were out there doing stuff.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean rookie camp, so not all of the Eagles,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: but you know, other guys are having you know, their
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: own camps, softball, charity softball games.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: But it was good to see Eagles back on the field.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Gets some Eagles news there, right, And man, not only
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: hard to believe what you just said, but hard to
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: believe what's going on in Philly sports as opposed to
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: what it looked like three weeks ago.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: So pretty amazing, I'll tell you what.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Like on this Monday, there was no way I was
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: thinking we're getting ready for a Sixers nick second round series,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. I Mean, the Flyers after a three
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to zero lead to Pittsburgh, you felt like they were
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: going to be front and center on everything, and they've
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: almost kind of fallen behind the Sixers now, and of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: course the Phillies are back on track. But we know
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are king and you just mentioned the rookies
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: are out there, but you have high profile rookies. When
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you take a skill position player. What were some of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the first impressions of Malachi Lemon on the field?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I wasn't actually at the rookie camp, just
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to let you know, but you know, I think that
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: what's interesting about Malachai Lemon is the pro readiness of
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: his skill set.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: And you know, I.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Wrote something recently on Inside the Birds about him. I
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: was trying to do I'm sorry I wrote it on
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Philly Voice. I was trying to project what his role
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: might be year one, and you do that based on
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: guys who are ordinarily Normally, when you try to do
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: project projections, you're trying to find comparable players, right, players
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: drafted in the same area and into situations. So I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: went back five years and looked at all players drafted
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: between twenty and thirty overall and how they performed year one.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And now some I eliminated did right off the bat,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: because some guys get overdrafted, some guys get into really
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: bad situations, right, So, like two guys I eliminated right
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: off the bat were Kadarius Tony and Quinton Johnston.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: First of all, they're not either. Neither were built like him.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: They were in bad situations. We all know Tony was
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: kind of a knucklehead and is out of the NFL
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: A right. Johnston doesn't run the same kind of routes
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Lemon does, but I did find some really similar.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Looks. Like we lost Jeff Boscher, we'll try to pop
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: him back in on the stream here on the Sports
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Bash Live ninety seven three ESPN. You know Malachi Lemon.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I was reading over at Inside the Birds from the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: article that Andrew Decheko wrote, and one of the things
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that he mentioned in the article, which I thought was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. When you're taking a look at the article
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: from Andrew, he points out when it comes to Malachi
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Lemon and the kind of interesting way to describe him
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: was first impressions of Malachi Lemon smooth opator as a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: route runner. So obviously that's some pretty good news there
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: when you hear the stuff you're hearing about with him
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: as a smooth operator, and that's what you're hoping for.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You're hoping for a guy who can run the routes.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And when Jeff pops back into the stream here we will.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I want to ask him what Howie Roseman said the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: other day on the Rich Eigen Show here on ninety
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: seven three ESPN, and which that was the fact of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the matter is. He said he was a great separator,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And I thought that was an interesting way to describe him,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: because I think when you think, when you think about
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Lemon and the four to five speed everybody's talking about his,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have this game breaking speed and all of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that stuff. So to hear Roseman, his first impressions of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: him was that he was a great separator. I thought
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that was a pretty interesting way to describe Lemon, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you think about what he can add to this offense.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We'll certainly be keeping an eye on him right from
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: day one, and the mini camps continued. Now, by the way,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Jeff kerr Over at Sports Illustrated wrote an article about
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: how the Eagles are not going to use all ten.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: All right, there's Jeff, He's back into the stream. I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened to you. We lost you there.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's live radio. It happens.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: How far did they make it before? Because I was babbling.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You talked about wow that whole time. Yeah, I was
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: we were waiting for you to pop back in. We
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: were talking about Lemon and you were kind of talking
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: about some, you know, different things about him. One thing
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I want to put your way that I was talking
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: about why you weren't on the show with us, which
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is on Friday show. I think it was Howie Roseman
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: was on the Rich Eisen Show and he was asked
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: about Lemon, and he said that he was a great separator.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And I thought that was a very interesting way because
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I think when you look at his speed, you don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: think of separation when thinking about Lemon.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but separation isn't always about speed.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It's about how you run your stem and the way
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you get Like for example, DeVante Smith, he didn't even
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: he wasn't a fact.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: He didn't run the forty right.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Speed is not his thing, but he has excellent separation
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: at the top of his route because he understands how
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to get into a cornerback's hip and then make and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: it makes razor sharp cuts. Same thing with Puka Nakua
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in a way can get open without five yards needed
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of separation because they know how to work defensive backs.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And Makai Lemon strikes me as that kind of player
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: who has a pro ready skill set and a knowledge
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and an understanding of how to out leverage cornerbacks, maybe
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: safeties whoever he's going up against in the slot, right
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: or on the outside to make the space where to
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: use his body. And he has really good hands. So yeah,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: separation isn't always a speed thing. In fact, there are
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: some great speed receivers who can't separate because they don't
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: have the ability to fool a corner and corners can
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: run too. Yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I feel like poor John Ross keeps getting pulled into
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: this conversation as a guy that can run but couldn't
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: run routes.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know interesting because before I lost you,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I was referring to an article I wrote on Philly
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Voice where I tried to compare. I tried to figure
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: out what McKay Lemon could do in year one and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: use like a comp system, And by comp I tried
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: to find guys who are similar situations, are drafted in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that twenty to thirty area in the first round over
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the past five years, and they were in similar offenses
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: or similar environments. So like, I wasn't gonna comp like
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Kadarius Tony to McKay Lemon because he was in a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: bad situation.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: He wasn't even that great a receiver. He's out of
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: football already.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna camp Quentin Johnston because he doesn't run
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the kind of route tree right that McKayle Lemon did.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: So the best comp I was thinking Xavier Worthy was it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Company's not really the same kind of guy. He was
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a four to two runner, which is not what mackay
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Lemon is. But unfortunately for the Chiefs, right, they've had
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to use Worthy differently over the first years because of injuries.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: They've actually used him more as a possession receiver than
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: a deep threat. So his first year he caught fifty
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: nine passes for six hundred and thirty eight yards, which
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: sixty catchers for six thirty eight is. You would never think,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Zavi You're Worthy would be that close to like ten
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: yards per catch. You thought coming into the league he'd
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: be like fifteen yards per catch, right, So I thought
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: there was some comp there between what you could expect
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: from Worthy and Lemon. But I really thought the guys
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that made the most sense were Jordan Addison, who went
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: into an offense that had justin Jefferson and Hockinson already
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: just like the you know, Lemon will have DeVante Smith
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and got her. And his first year he was a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: little inflated because if you remember, Jefferson missed like seven games,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: so Addison sort of became default number one. He caught
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: seventy balls for nine hundred and eleven yards and one
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: to eight targets. I also thought Jackson Smith and Jigba
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: was a similar guy as far as body size, skill set.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: He went twentieth overall and he was behind Lockett and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Metcalf in the pecking order. He had sixty three catches
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: for six twenty eight yards on ninety three targets, So
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: that's kind of where like sixty fifty to sixty catch
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: range is where I think you're looking at Mikhai Lemon,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: something between six hundred and eight hundred yards receiving. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: don't know that it'll be a high touchdown guy unless
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: he catches a lot of red zone touchdowns.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know those are both interesting, especially Smith
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and Jigba would be fantastic obviously.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: As a rooker, though I should Mentioniney Smith and Jigma
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: has a higher upside because he was a more explosive player.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Coming out of college.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Well, and they had DK there his first year, so
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I mean that's a little bocket.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I like the way that Andrew wrote about him
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: at Inside the Birds. He said Lemon is a smooth
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: operator as a route runner. The USC product was elegant
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and precise. This is well written by the way, elegant
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and precise in his movement. So it kind of shows
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you the attention to detail that you're getting with Lemon.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is good wording, and queue the shad day
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: on smooth operator.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It's not away with words.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: So that's I think that's a fair way, you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: is it poetry and motion. That's a little He doesn't collide.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He is a guy who plays physically right, but there
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: is kind of a beauty with which he plays the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: game because I always like respected receivers who didn't have
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: elite speed and had to use other techniques to get open.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, like we was talking about with Davonte Smith,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: not a speed receiver, but somebody who just can run
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: every single route to perfection clinically technician and can beat
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a defense over the top because he's so razor sharp
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: with his cuts.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Jeff Mosier football at four let's go to Eli Stowers,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: who Howie Roseman said on The Rich Eigen Show that
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he has incredible physical tolls. When you think of Stours,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: is that what stands out?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Oh? I mean, I can't stop thinking about the forty
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: five in an inch forty five and a half inch
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: vertical that this guy has. I mean, that's just incredible.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: He had a great broad jump a quarterback. You know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the Eagles have done well with guys who first played
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: quarterback and transitioned to other positions, Like I don't know
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Lane Johnson, for example, he was a He started his
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: career as a junior college quarterback, and then he like
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: grew and ate himself into becoming a tight end, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: then grew and ate himself into becoming a defensive end,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and then he did it into an offensive tackle. There
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: are a couple other guys Eagles have had who started
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: off as quarterbacks, transitioned to other spots and have succeeded
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: because they have great athleticism.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: And tight end is one of those positions.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Where if you have great and it doesn't mean you're
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: definitely gonna be awesome, but it's a really good starting.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Point when you have that kind of athleticism well, And.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: One guy who is a quarterback right now is Payton.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He was at the mini camp on over the weekend.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He was the only quarterback there, so they had to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: use him in that role. So we'll see how much
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: run he gets as a quarterback. Do you think that's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: something they're going to look at him closely at all?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: This situation with the Eagles has to get itself worked
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: out for my quarterback situation because it's at normal right
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: now and I'm having some just difficulty seeing it staying
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the way it is.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is you.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Have a number two quarterback in Tanner McKee's, you're back
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: in the quarterback right In any NFL practice, the number
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: three quarterback runs the scout team and there's really not
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of reps for the number two quarterback, so
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: it's hard for those guys to get prepared, right. So
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: if there's already not enough reps for Tanner McKee as
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the backup, how are there going to be any for
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Cole Peyton, who would ideally you would like to be
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: on the scout team. But that's where Andy Dalton, who
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: has you know, played in this league from fifteen years
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: as playoff wins has been a Pro Bowl. This is
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: a very abnormal scout team quarterback. And I'm not sure
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: how Andy Tolton's gonna feel about this when the reality
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: of it all sets in. So I just think that
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: this situation before we can speculate on reps and where
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: how they're gonna use. I think it's gonna work itself out.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: If this is what it is going into the year, then.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: That's what it is, and we'll talk about it. But
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know that it's gonna be all right.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: A couple other quick notes I do have for Jeff
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Boscher here football for Howie Roseman, when asked about Jonathan Gernard.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I like the way he described this. This was on
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the Rich Eyes and Show on nine he seven three ESPN.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: He said, it's like having a turbo button. You know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: he liked what they had already, but it's like a
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: video game where you just hit the turbo button and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it just takes you to another level. That's how he
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: kind of described adding Jonathan Grenard to Jalx Hunt and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Nolan Smith and the group that they already have.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked last week about why Jalen Phillips was
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: so good, such a good fit for Vic Fangio because
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: he was a big, strong, eye to fifty to sixty right,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: dual threat kind of edge who can stop the run
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and also rush the passer. And Grenard's a little bit smaller.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: But that's what you're trading off, is that you're getting
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a guy who just has an extra motor rushing the passer.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah, all yeah to do is look at
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: his game played and look at his stats, sack stats, right,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I mean he knows how to come off the ball
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: very quickly and hit quarterbacks and that's going to be
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: a big addition to this edge group all right.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: By the way, voluntary mini camps the twenty sixth and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the twenty seventh, the twenty ninth, June one and two,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: June four, and then the mandatory June ninth and tenth,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: So AJ Brown would probably be not around for maybe
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that first voluntary June one unless they make that trade
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: immediately that day. But we'll keep your eye on that
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: as well. The last two things the Eagles did pick
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: up the fifty year options on Jalen Carter he's going
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to get twenty seven million, and the Nolan Smith option.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Were you surprised by either of those. I'm not.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: You know, positional value is huge.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's let's let's break down for Jalen Carter,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: it really becomes a placeholder for a contract extension. And
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: of course, when you're Carter and his agent, the extension
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: has to start with at least twenty seven million guaranteed
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: because that's what the tag, which is fine. I mean,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the Eagles didn't think they were going to sign this
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: guy to an extension that didn't include twenty seven million
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: dollars in guaranteed money. I think there was a no
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: brainer kind of element to the idea of doing it
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: for Nolan Edge Nolan Smith because he's an edge and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: positional value and he's got still upside even though he's
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: been injured. But Mike, I tell you what the number
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: on that is. Thirteen million, right or about thirteen or
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: fourteen seven? Yeah, forts to call fourteen that's really interesting
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: because that's for the twenty twenty seven.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Season, right, that's for next season, right.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: So I expect that Jaylex Hunt is still going to
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: be on team Grenard could still be on teams. So
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: fourteen million is a lot for a guy who may
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: not be your starter.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I mean you would then put him in the.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Quote unquote situational pass rusher or DPR type label, which
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: every team needs and has and is valuable.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: But that's a lot of money for a DPR.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Now you'll you might play him quite a bit because
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: he's that good.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: But does that make him does that make him a
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: harder trade candidate?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know, No, not for a team who would
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: trade for him to be a starter?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: So, but I think to your point, it makes him
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: more Yeah, because if you know, and by the way,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: this whole we talk about this on inside the Birds pod.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: No Vic has it dropped today.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: You should listen to it because there's a lot of
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: critical thinking here. Vic has ordinarily only played a three
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: man edge rotation. Okay, so he's going into the year.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: He's playing Smith, he's playing as long as everybody's healthy
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Hunt Smith and Grenard. Right, they signed Arnold Abacketty for
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: like four four and a half million. Okay, that's not
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: trump change. I mean, is he gonna play?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And what a bunch of those guys around last year.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: You don't want to pay these guys a lot of
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: money not to collect dust on the bench. And by
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the way, if Brandon Graham comes back, you know, Vick
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: is going to play Brandon Graham. So that's another guy.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Though that you could play him more in the inside
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: or you.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Could, but like then, who you're taking? How are you
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: taking Geordan Davids, Are you taking Carter off? Or you're
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: taking Joe Mo?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you absolutely could, but it does become
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: another guy to take reps away from somebody.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Else, right, all right, Jeff Bocher the football for powered
• 16:41

  Speaker 3: All right, Bud, thanks, you want my prediction for sixers, Yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: why not? Man sixers in six.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: O sixers in six. It's amazing how the tides have turned.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But I have said many times Jeff Mosher, the team
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: that you hate, it will be the one that makes
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you fall back in love with them.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Is there any other Philadelphia story than that?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: No way, no way,
