The DiCecco Daily: Eagles Overall Health Update After First Week 2 Practice · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

0:09
Speaker 1: What's going on everyone? Welcome into another episode of DiCecco Daily.
0:13
Speaker 1: It's Andrew DiCecco, Eagles beat reporter for InsideTheBirds.com. And it's Wednesday,
0:17
Speaker 1: which means you get your first injury report of the week.
0:21
Speaker 1: Not practicing for the Eagles Wednesday. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter wrist.
0:25
Speaker 1: Defensive back Cooper DeGene calf abdomen. Limited for the Eagles
0:29
Speaker 1: outside linebacker Jonathan Grenard with the pectoral. Walking into practice
0:35
Speaker 1: when the gates opened, one of the first things I spotted,
0:37
Speaker 1: and the Eagles were on the far field, was Cooper
0:40
Speaker 1: DeGene standing off to the side. And if you think
0:43
Speaker 1: back to Sunday's game against the Commanders, it was early
0:47
Speaker 1: in that game, early enough, but there was a play
0:51
Speaker 1: that he sort of grabbed at his stomach, abdomen area,
0:54
Speaker 1: and then we saw him wearing a sleeve on his leg, so...
1:00
Speaker 1: You were able to draw your own conclusions that it
1:02
Speaker 1: was multiple things that were sort of nagging him a
1:04
Speaker 1: little bit. But he did speak after practice in the
1:08
Speaker 1: locker room. He said, I'll be good. I'll be all right.
1:11
Speaker 1: He expects to play Sunday. I'll add some quotes for
1:14
Speaker 1: you to maybe add a little bit more context here.
1:19
Speaker 1: And talking about the mental reps, he said, you got
1:21
Speaker 1: to do as much as you can on the side,
1:23
Speaker 1: watching the reps, watching film as well. When asked if
1:30
Speaker 1: it's annoying to have an injury this early in the
1:34
Speaker 1: season and having to answer questions like that, he said, yeah,
1:36
Speaker 1: but I'm good, so I'll be alright. When asked, do
1:43
Speaker 1: you have a sense of how much it'll nag you,
1:45
Speaker 1: how long, he said, no idea, I really don't, but
1:48
Speaker 1: I'll be good, I'll be alright. He gave a good
1:51
Speaker 1: answer here when asked about what he believes is the
1:55
Speaker 1: biggest step the defense needs to take to get to
1:57
Speaker 1: the next level. He said... I think just continuing to
2:02
Speaker 1: communicate and gel together. I feel like you saw, you've
2:05
Speaker 1: seen in the past couple years, I'm not saying that
2:07
Speaker 1: this year is the same, but taking the reps early
2:11
Speaker 1: in the season and practice together and getting on the
2:13
Speaker 1: same page and then translating that to the field when
2:16
Speaker 1: the bullets are flying, being able to be on the
2:18
Speaker 1: same page and play off one another well. So that
2:22
Speaker 1: gives you a little bit of reasoning behind maybe why
2:25
Speaker 1: you saw Cooper struggle on Sunday against the Commanders and...
2:29
Speaker 1: If we're being honest, you can count on one hand
2:31
Speaker 1: the amount of games that Cooper DeGene has struggled. I
2:34
Speaker 1: can think back to the Carolina game as a rookie,
2:37
Speaker 1: Adam Thielen, the game on Sunday against the Commanders, and
2:40
Speaker 1: I'm struggling to think of the other one. But the
2:43
Speaker 1: point is that Cooper DeGene has been a very steady
2:46
Speaker 1: and consistent player. He's coming off an all-pro season. He's
2:50
Speaker 1: a trusted member of Vic Fangio's defense. He wears a
2:53
Speaker 1: ton of hats. And he's a valuable piece. And everyone's
2:57
Speaker 1: entitled to have a bad game. And there's reasons why.
3:00
Speaker 1: Perhaps this is the reason why you saw him maybe
3:04
Speaker 1: not have the dominant performance that you've grown accustomed to seeing.
3:08
Speaker 1: But I've seen some on social media suggest that maybe,
3:13
Speaker 1: and I've been asked this as well, if it has
3:16
Speaker 1: to do with him adding weight and muscle to his
3:19
Speaker 1: frame in the offseason. Maybe that's impeding his mobility. I
3:24
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't say that. There's one game of data.
3:28
Speaker 1: He had a good training camp. I mean, he bulked
3:33
Speaker 1: up in large part because he's going to be playing
3:38
Speaker 1: safety when the Eagles are in base. So to play safety, naturally,
3:42
Speaker 1: you want to have a bigger frame to be able
3:45
Speaker 1: to handle those run fits and be physical and be
3:47
Speaker 1: able to play downhill. And also when you're playing nickels,
3:50
Speaker 1: you have to get involved when it comes to run
3:53
Speaker 1: support and do some different things like that. You're a
3:55
Speaker 1: hybrid player, and you have to handle a lot of responsibilities.
4:00
Speaker 1: So I don't know that that had anything to do
4:02
Speaker 1: with it. After one game, I can't make that determination.
4:05
Speaker 1: We'll learn more, obviously, as the season goes. But the
4:08
Speaker 1: good news here is that Cooper DeGene says he expects
4:11
Speaker 1: to play Sunday against the Titans. Jalen Carter with the
4:16
Speaker 1: wrist injury, that popped up Wednesday. That's not a good thing,
4:20
Speaker 1: but that's obviously something that we'll monitor throughout the week.
4:24
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot that I can really expand on
4:27
Speaker 1: with that. Hopefully we'll get a chance to hear from
4:29
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter this week, but Wednesday he was not around,
4:34
Speaker 1: and when you're on the injury report and you're dealing
4:36
Speaker 1: with something, that's not really a surprise. Also, the Eagles made...
4:42
Speaker 1: Some roster moves on Tuesday afternoon that were made official.
4:48
Speaker 1: Left guard Landon Dickerson was placed on injured reserve. And
4:53
Speaker 1: the Eagles signed wide receiver slash punt returner Britton Covey
4:56
Speaker 1: to the 53-man roster and signed to the practice squad
5:00
Speaker 1: Josiah DeGuara, who was a third-round pick of the Green
5:03
Speaker 1: Bay Packers in 2020. More of an H-back, blocking type
5:07
Speaker 1: of player. 6'2, just under 240. A movable piece. I
5:11
Speaker 1: liked him a lot coming out of Cincinnati. And if
5:14
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, and I was doing work on this pre-draft,
5:18
Speaker 1: I believe the Eagles did have interest in him. But
5:21
Speaker 1: a lot's changed since then. Different coaching staff and things
5:24
Speaker 1: like that. But just something that I found interesting. But
5:30
Speaker 1: Britton Covey's back on the 53.
5:31
Speaker 2: So.
5:32
Speaker 1: He had two more elevations, and then the Eagles would
5:35
Speaker 1: have had to make a decision. But if you know
5:36
Speaker 1: that he's going to be your season-long punt returner, why
5:39
Speaker 1: not get ahead of things? They certainly took advantage of that.
5:42
Speaker 1: They still have an open spot on the 53. Remember,
5:45
Speaker 1: Eli Stowers was placed on injured reserve, and the Eagles
5:48
Speaker 1: haven't filled that spot yet. So I'm really curious to
5:51
Speaker 1: see what direction they go, what their elevations might be
5:55
Speaker 1: for Sunday's game as well. They now have seven wide
5:59
Speaker 1: receivers on the roster. Britton Covey feels pretty comfortable there
6:03
Speaker 1: because he has a defined, built-in role on game day.
6:07
Speaker 1: You have to wonder how long Elijah Moore might be
6:10
Speaker 1: on the roster. How long will they be willing to
6:12
Speaker 1: carry seven wide receivers? Sometimes things have a way of
6:16
Speaker 1: working themselves out. Other times, not so much, and you
6:19
Speaker 1: have to get creative. But they do have an extra
6:21
Speaker 1: roster spot to work with. So we'll see how that
6:25
Speaker 1: all shakes. Got my rookie diary in the books with...
6:29
Speaker 1: Micah Morris for the second consecutive week. That's going to
6:32
Speaker 1: be a season-long series on InsideTheBirds.com. And right here on
6:36
Speaker 1: DeCecco Daily, a really good conversation with Micah. And we
6:40
Speaker 1: talked about, yeah, football a little bit. His early impressions
6:44
Speaker 1: of experiencing the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field. His pregame routine.
6:49
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms and the offensive line and the offensive
6:52
Speaker 1: line room where does he sit is he an active
6:54
Speaker 1: note taker and things of that nature but we also
6:57
Speaker 1: got into other things and I talked about if you
6:59
Speaker 1: had to credit to one or two individuals that helped
7:04
Speaker 1: you get to where you are today who would they
7:06
Speaker 1: be and he gave a really good answer about that
7:08
Speaker 1: I'm not going to Reveal that. I want you to
7:11
Speaker 1: read it. I want you to listen to it, of course.
7:13
Speaker 1: We talked about movies. We talked about some of his
7:16
Speaker 1: off-field interests as well, other off-field interests, and just a
7:20
Speaker 1: really good conversation. I'm really enjoying chatting with Micah and
7:23
Speaker 1: getting to know him a little bit. He has a
7:25
Speaker 1: great personality. He's really just sort of embracing his role
7:30
Speaker 1: on the Eagles, and he's taking a step back because
7:33
Speaker 1: he's not playing it. He was inactive for week one,
7:35
Speaker 1: but he's doing a lot of work behind the scenes
7:38
Speaker 1: and The Eagles pride themselves on player development, and he's
7:41
Speaker 1: really taken to that. And we talk about that as well.
7:44
Speaker 1: But make sure you're keeping an eye out for that
7:46
Speaker 1: later in the week. Nick Sirianni spoke on Wednesday, as
7:51
Speaker 1: he always does. And I thought he had some interesting
7:53
Speaker 1: things to say, especially as it pertains to the backup
7:57
Speaker 1: quarterback spot. And he added some clarity to it. And he,
8:02
Speaker 1: when asked about Andy Dalton... Hold on, I'm looking for
8:09
Speaker 1: that quote for you guys. He said, we felt like
8:12
Speaker 1: he was the best person for the job and that
8:14
Speaker 1: won the job. That has no indication of how we
8:19
Speaker 1: feel about Tanner. That's who won the job throughout camp,
8:21
Speaker 1: but roles and spots on the depth chart are never
8:23
Speaker 1: set in stone. They're still competing, they're still working, and
8:26
Speaker 1: we'll be evaluating everything all the time. But at the
8:29
Speaker 1: end of the day, that's why.
8:30
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm somebody who likes to work out. I get
8:33
Speaker 2: to the gym at least three times a week. I
8:36
Speaker 2: try to focus on certain muscle groups, my arms, my legs.
8:39
Speaker 2: And it used to be really frustrating for me to
8:42
Speaker 2: find jeans that fit someone like myself who likes to
8:45
Speaker 2: work out. Sometimes those jeans can be awkward and tight
8:48
Speaker 2: and you're sitting in a chair and you're constantly pulling
8:51
Speaker 2: at your jeans, trying to get.
8:53
Speaker 3: Them to fit you.
8:54
Speaker 2: Sometimes it feels like you have to buy jeans that
8:56
Speaker 2: make you choose between your waist or your thighs.
9:00
Speaker 3: But thankfully I found the perfect jean.
9:03
Speaker 2: It's different from all other jean companies out especially for
9:06
Speaker 2: guys with athletic builds. They actually let me move like
9:09
Speaker 2: a normal human being. I can bend down and tie
9:12
Speaker 2: my shoes. I can squat to pick up something without
9:14
Speaker 2: feeling restricted. I can actually do a full squat, you know,
9:18
Speaker 2: bending down to pick something up without feeling like I'm
9:21
Speaker 2: about to blow a seam.
9:22
Speaker 3: You know, the old standard jean sizing, it wasn't designed
9:25
Speaker 3: to fit guys.
9:26
Speaker 2: Who squat or deadlift, play sports, or just do anything
9:29
Speaker 2: that actually builds your legs.
9:30
Speaker 3: But the perfect jean is designed for just that, for guys...
9:35
Speaker 3: like me. Perfect Gene has six fits. It includes the
9:38
Speaker 3: athletic fit, the slim, the.
9:39
Speaker 2: Thick, and the thick thick, specifically built around the reality
9:43
Speaker 2: that legs and waist don't always scale together. Right now,

Speaker 3: Prize picks run your game.
11:55
Speaker 1: So I mentioned this on this podcast, and I've written
11:58
Speaker 1: about it as well. I thought that Andy Dalton made
12:01
Speaker 1: the most sense as the No. 2 quarterback. All things
12:04
Speaker 1: being equal, no one really separated in training camp, but
12:08
Speaker 1: the Eagles did show deference to Andy Dalton in training camp.
12:12
Speaker 1: And he started the first two preseason games. He's a veteran.
12:15
Speaker 1: This is his 16th NFL season. He's been in different schemes.
12:19
Speaker 1: He has a good feel for the game and how
12:22
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators are playing. And, of course, he has experience
12:25
Speaker 1: in a similar system like the Eagles are doing right now. So,
12:29
Speaker 1: for me, I think there's a lot of value there
12:30
Speaker 1: of having someone like Andy Dalton as your number two quarterback.
12:33
Speaker 1: Despite how he played in the summer, I don't base
12:35
Speaker 1: it off of that. I base it off of the
12:38
Speaker 1: body of work, what he's done maybe even the last
12:40
Speaker 1: couple of years. And when you look at a number
12:43
Speaker 1: two quarterback, you want someone who can be almost an
12:45
Speaker 1: extension of the coaching staff. Ideally, ideally. But in this case,
12:50
Speaker 1: he's someone that I think can be a really good
12:51
Speaker 1: sounding board for Jalen Hurts. can be there in the
12:54
Speaker 1: moment and let him know what he saw on the field.
12:57
Speaker 1: And I think having a veteran presence like that should
13:00
Speaker 1: help the offense, but should help Jalen Hurts most of all.
13:05
Speaker 1: So there you have that. Nick Sirianni also spoke about
13:09
Speaker 1: Landon Dickerson, of course. That was the most important topic
13:13
Speaker 1: of the day. And When asked, you know, when did
13:17
Speaker 1: you realize that Landon was seriously hurt and wouldn't be himself?
13:21
Speaker 1: And was there any talk about maybe going with someone
13:23
Speaker 1: else at left guard? Nick Sirianni said, like I said,
13:26
Speaker 1: you guys, everybody in that first game had some good
13:30
Speaker 1: plays and had some bad plays. And he was doing
13:32
Speaker 1: some really good things as well, like I mentioned to
13:34
Speaker 1: you guys. after he got into the locker room he
13:36
Speaker 1: was uncomfortable and that's where you do MRIs and that's
13:40
Speaker 1: where you saw the bone bruise or where we saw
13:42
Speaker 1: the bone bruise and that's kind of how it went
13:44
Speaker 1: you're comfortable with him because of how many times he's
13:47
Speaker 1: played through him being uncomfortable because he's so tough that's
13:51
Speaker 1: how that went about we also heard from Drew Kendall
13:58
Speaker 1: Drew Kendall I'm a I wonder, I'll have to ask
14:00
Speaker 1: him this when the buzz dies down a little bit,
14:04
Speaker 1: maybe later this week, maybe next week. But I can't
14:06
Speaker 1: imagine that he's had to look and see a sea
14:10
Speaker 1: of reporters quite like he saw today, even dating back
14:14
Speaker 1: to his time at Boston College. But he was asked
14:18
Speaker 1: right off the bat, it seems like you might have
14:20
Speaker 1: an opportunity to start. If that's the case, what would
14:21
Speaker 1: that mean to you? He said, I'm just excited for
14:24
Speaker 1: any opportunity ahead. We have a lot of good guys
14:28
Speaker 1: in our room. Everyone's been cross-training at different positions throughout
14:30
Speaker 1: the summer, so whatever the five is, I'm just excited
14:34
Speaker 1: and try to contribute to this team and get our
14:37
Speaker 1: best five out there. He didn't want to get into
14:40
Speaker 1: what position he took reps at today. He said, I
14:42
Speaker 1: was doing a little bit of everything. Of course, we're
14:45
Speaker 1: trying to keep everything in-house, so not trying to give
14:47
Speaker 1: out too much. When he talked about how much more
14:53
Speaker 1: prepared he feels for this opportunity this year relative to
14:56
Speaker 1: maybe last season as a rookie. He said, I'm just
14:58
Speaker 1: excited for whatever's ahead, you know. But definitely a good opportunity.
15:02
Speaker 1: We're wishing for Landon to get a very speedy recovery.
15:05
Speaker 1: We'll miss him. He's a warrior, really battling through. So
15:08
Speaker 1: we'll miss him, but just excited. So they're keeping it
15:14
Speaker 1: close to the vest there, and you might expect that
15:16
Speaker 1: that would be the case. They have, as I outlined,
15:20
Speaker 1: multiple options. ways that they can go with this. You
15:22
Speaker 1: have Drew Kendall. I think Drew Kendall, I feel pretty
15:25
Speaker 1: comfortable saying that he's going to be involved in some
15:27
Speaker 1: capacity now, whether that's center or whether that's left guard
15:30
Speaker 1: is to be determined, but he does give you that versatility.
15:34
Speaker 1: He was the Eagles top interior backup in training camp
15:37
Speaker 1: for what it's worth. Things change, of course, but the
15:41
Speaker 1: Eagles are high on Drew Kendall and he checked off
15:43
Speaker 1: all the boxes and at least in my estimation, in
15:46
Speaker 1: training camp. And it seems like they're really bullish on
15:49
Speaker 1: him in terms of where he is right now at
15:52
Speaker 1: this stage of his development. And it was always viewed,
15:56
Speaker 1: I've said this throughout training camp, that he was the
15:59
Speaker 1: top interior backup, the Brett Toth for the 2026 Eagles.
16:03
Speaker 1: By that definition, I'm expecting him to get his number
16:06
Speaker 1: called and we'll find out where exactly that is, but
16:10
Speaker 1: I feel pretty comfortable with him out there. Is he
16:12
Speaker 1: a little undersized to play guard? If that were the case? Yes,
16:16
Speaker 1: I would say so. A three Oh five that's on
16:18
Speaker 1: the lighter side for a guard, but he's such a cerebral,
16:22
Speaker 1: cerebral player in general, but especially at center where I
16:25
Speaker 1: believe he started 34 games at Boston college. So we
16:30
Speaker 1: don't want to get too far ahead. It's just Wednesday.
16:33
Speaker 1: We have a lot more to learn, but, Jalen Hurts
16:36
Speaker 1: also spoke, and he spoke about the offensive line. He
16:43
Speaker 1: gave a good answer there about the center position that
16:51
Speaker 1: I'm looking for as we speak. There it is. Okay.
16:58
Speaker 1: How much work have you gotten with Drew at center
17:00
Speaker 1: if that ends up being the case, and how big
17:02
Speaker 1: of a deal is that if switching centers– switching centers
17:06
Speaker 1: from a quarterback standpoint. He said, I've been working with Cam.
17:10
Speaker 1: You know, with Cam, it's at his own– you know,
17:13
Speaker 1: when he had his off days in camp, he would
17:18
Speaker 1: say that, you know, Drew would step in. But, yeah, Cam.
17:22
Speaker 1: That doesn't necessarily mean that that is going to– would
17:26
Speaker 1: be the move to keep Cam there because he's had
17:29
Speaker 1: a lot of experience with Jalen. We don't exactly– I mean,
17:32
Speaker 1: just so everyone knows, during the season– we see a
17:36
Speaker 1: small part portion of practice. It's not like training camp
17:38
Speaker 1: where we're out there for the entirety of the session.
17:41
Speaker 1: So who knows what's going on in terms of their
17:45
Speaker 1: offensive line configuration. But I thought it was notable that
17:48
Speaker 1: Jalen said that he's mostly been working with Cam, not
17:52
Speaker 1: really a surprise, but that's where he's most familiar. And
17:54
Speaker 1: you also have to look at this new offense. I
17:57
Speaker 1: would imagine that it would, it's not like just, you know,
18:02
Speaker 1: it's not a snap of the finger. of being able
18:04
Speaker 1: to get a center, even as cerebral as Drew Kendall is,
18:08
Speaker 1: to be able to sort of immerse themselves. When Cam
18:11
Speaker 1: Juergens himself spent the entirety of the summer, like the
18:14
Speaker 1: entire offensive line, familiarizing themselves and really immersing themselves into
18:20
Speaker 1: this offense, which there's new demands. So I don't know.
18:24
Speaker 1: It's something that I probably spend way too much time
18:26
Speaker 1: thinking about this week, and I will continue to do so. But,
18:31
Speaker 1: Jalen also spoke about Landon's injury and he said he's
18:35
Speaker 1: a force. When asked about how it will affect the unit,
18:39
Speaker 1: he said he's a force. You know, you can't, it's
18:41
Speaker 1: hard to replace a guy that has had the success
18:44
Speaker 1: he's had and has been such a great communicator, smart
18:47
Speaker 1: player up front. So taking it day by day, taking
18:51
Speaker 1: it day at a time.
18:52
Speaker 2: As I've gotten older, I've really tried to concentrate on
18:55
Speaker 2: my physical health, my body, making sure I'm putting the
18:58
Speaker 2: right things in and the healthiest things in. I've always
19:01
Speaker 2: heard about creatine, but I wasn't really sure about using
19:05
Speaker 2: creatine supplements until I did the research to find out
19:08
Speaker 2: what it was really all about. That's when I found Momentous,
19:11
Speaker 2: which created Signature Spec Creatine, their most advanced creatine ever,
19:17
Speaker 2: setting a new standard for for creatine quality. It's one
19:20
Speaker 2: of the only creatines to be manufactured in a pharmaceutical
19:23
Speaker 2: facility using reverse osmosis water purification and verified through an
19:28
Speaker 2: expanded six stage testing process with four independent agencies. They've
19:33
Speaker 2: improved the product experience with ultra fine powder that mixes
19:37
Speaker 2: effortlessly with no grit or clumping. Hey, look, I like
19:41
Speaker 2: a good creatine shake in the afternoon and it's got
19:44
Speaker 2: to taste good and be smooth. The benefits of creatine
19:47
Speaker 2: are very real. It supports strength, power, lean muscle growth, recovery,
19:52
Speaker 2: and even improved cognitive performance. And as I get older,
19:56
Speaker 2: all of those things are so much more important to
19:58
Speaker 2: me than they used to be. If you want to

20:21
Speaker 2: than me. It could be 30 degrees and I'll be
20:23
Speaker 2: out there grilling burgers and steaks. But the one thing
20:26
Speaker 2: that I really can't stand is losing my fish and
20:29
Speaker 2: my veggies because they just can't grill without falling through.
20:33
Speaker 2: That's why I've been using Hexclad's BBQ collection. It's bringing

21:08
Speaker 2: time last week i grilled the best surf and turf
21:12
Speaker 2: my style which is salmon and ribs and lost none
21:15
Speaker 2: of it because i used hexclad's bbq collection with over
21:19
Speaker 2: 1 million customers and more than 50,000 five-star reviews. It's

Speaker 2: clear people love cooking with Hexclad. There's a reason Gordon

22:00
Speaker 1: I mentioned this anecdote that he had the other day
22:03
Speaker 1: on Tuesday about the 64-yarder to Dontavian Wicks and how
22:09
Speaker 1: Wicks really repped it in practice. He didn't get the ball,
22:12
Speaker 1: but he was full speed, full tilt. And they showed that.
22:16
Speaker 1: in an offensive meeting because they were that impressed. And
22:19
Speaker 1: that embodies Sean Manning and said what the Eagles want
22:22
Speaker 1: to be as an offense. And then the ball found
22:25
Speaker 1: Dontavion Wicks in the game on a similar, on the
22:28
Speaker 1: same play. So it just goes to show you that
22:31
Speaker 1: hard work does get rewarded. And I believe that that
22:34
Speaker 1: is a really good indication of what the Eagles are
22:36
Speaker 1: striving for. Good effort, toughness, detailed, all of the things
22:41
Speaker 1: that you hear Nick Sirianni talk about. And again, Jalen said,
22:47
Speaker 1: it's the reps over time that just lead to the
22:49
Speaker 1: moments that we have in the game, how the game goes.
22:52
Speaker 1: Talked about it a lot. The time we spent away
22:56
Speaker 1: learning this body language, learning who he is as a player,
22:59
Speaker 1: and then we're just trying to master the offense and
23:02
Speaker 1: the fundamentals of what I'm asked to do. So he
23:06
Speaker 1: ran a great route, got some leverage on it, and
23:08
Speaker 1: was able to make a good explosive in the game.
23:13
Speaker 1: There you go. That's sort of a roundup of everything
23:18
Speaker 1: that I gathered and all the important notes from Wednesday
23:21
Speaker 1: at the Eagles practice facility. They're back on the field tomorrow,
23:26
Speaker 1: and I'll have another podcast for you and another one
23:29
Speaker 1: for you on Friday as well. Keep an eye out
23:31
Speaker 1: for Rookie Diary and all my work on InsideTheBirds.com, and
23:35
Speaker 1: keep it right here on the Checo Daily. That's going

Speaker 1: to do it for this episode of the Checo Daily.
