The DiCecco Daily: Really Good News For Eagles As Prep Continues For Broncos · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome into this edition of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the check Odaly.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: It's Andrew de Checko with a Thursday edition, which means
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the Eagles had their second practice of the week and
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the injury report was a little bit more favorable for
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the Eagles on this day. Let's get right to it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Not practicing. Tight end grand cal Kata with an illness.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Something to keep an eye on. Limited linebacker Nakobe Dean knee,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: tight end Dallas Goddard knee, full defensive tackle Jalen Carter's shoulder,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: cornerback of Dori Jackson groin, and tackle Lane Johnson shoulder.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Let's unpact this good news for Nacobe Dean, who was
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: limited for the second consecutive day.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: No setbacks. He was out there.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: He actually led one of these strip sacks circus that
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Bobby King, the Eagles linebackers coach, runs where you attacked
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: this dummy that has a football I think velkrow to
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: it and you have to kind of dislodge that. And
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Nikobe Dean led that line and there were a number
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: of Eagles players who were in that line. Something notable
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that it was good to see him out there to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you know, working through, you know, some minimal contact Dallas Goddard.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard was not present on Wednesday, but on Thursday
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: he was out there. Spotted him right away during team
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: stretches and then afterwards. This is something that the Eagles
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: do on Thursday practice. When they break the team stretch,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the offensive lineman go to a far field. On another field,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you have special teams doing their thing, and then on
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a near field on one half of the field you'll
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: have the punt returners, which are Johan Dotson, Britain Covey,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Xavier Gibson, and Cooper dejen They take work.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But on the other part of that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Field, it's always defensive backs coach Christian Parker working with
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: cornerbacks adri Jackson and Quinya Mitchell, and then off to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the side from there you always have tight end Dallas
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Goddard and running back Sakwon Barkway kind of doing their
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: thing while all of those other things are taking place.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So I got a chance to hone in on Christian
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Parker offering his directives on a couple of ball centric
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: drills where Quinnon and Odori were going through some mobility
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: things and then tracking the football and something I always
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: like to pay attention to and then I'll move and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: watch the returners, and they do this thing where after
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they get they start to feel it a few punts
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and they go through that rotation.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They'll do.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Sort of a return thing where they'll have one ball
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: already in their hands and then when the other ball
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: is punted to them, they'll throw that ball in the air,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: almost like they're juggling, and then try to catch the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: football coming off the machine and then to try to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: grasp both footballs, and that really focuses in on concentration.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Johan Dotson is the starting punt returner, of course, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I have to wonder whether or not they're going to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: involve Xavier Gibson at some point because they claimed him
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: off waivers. He was inactive for his first game, that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: was the game against Tampa Bay. And you know, there's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in theory, just a few more games until Darius Cooper,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: who's on injury reserve with the shoulder injury, is eligible
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to return to the fifty three, and that would suddenly
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: make it a crowded house at wide receiver. So presumably
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the Eagles acquired Xavier Gibson to give him another option
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: as a kick and punt returner. But if he's not
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: able to be active this week, that's two games that
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he would be not dressing for and you run out
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of you start running out of time. They get an
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: evaluation on a player, especially when you have other players
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: who could be coming back from injury reserve at some point.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So it's something to keep an eye on it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: It's it's a minor thing in the grand scheme of things,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: but something that you know, if you're wired like I am,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: that crosses your mind and you kind of fixate on it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: But with the offensive lineman, Lane Johnson was working today,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of course he was listed as Lane Johnson was working
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: with the offensive line and he was a full participant,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So that's a very good thing they need Lane Johnson
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and Tyler Stein was never on the injury report this week,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: so perhaps the offensive line, you know, you're gonna have
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the all of the starters to go against Denver, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Denver has a pretty decent front and something that is
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: certainly keep.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: An eye with Nick Benito.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Their edge rusher has four and a half sacks, so
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: obviously something the Eagles are gonna be mindful of, and
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: they'll need their offensive line to really answer the bell
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: in this matchup.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: They're still working their way trying to get healthier.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You have to wonder whether or not it's going to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: take until the bye week, which is week nine, where
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they're actually able to hit that pause button and get
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the treatment necessary.
• 5:09

  Speaker 2: I mentioned yesterday that I spoke or I guess it
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: was Wednesday that I spoke to new long snapper cal Atemitas,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and I'll be writing a story for that on Inside
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the Birds dot Com. Spoke to Mac McWilliams on Thursday
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: for the fifth installment Wow, fifth installment already of the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Rookie Diary series that will be coming out Saturday in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: written and podcast form. Hope everybody is enjoying that series.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: And over the past couple of days, I've had a
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: chance to talk to some of the Eagles edge rushers,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: so Zadarius Smith, Patrick Johnson, who played quite a bit.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: He's really a special team's ace, but he played quite
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: a bit out of necessity against the Bucks.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And I talked to josh Ushe all.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Offered enlightening comments, and I'll be putting a story together
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: for Inside the Birds dot Com on Saturday, so let's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: get to some transactions peak. Oh and I should also
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: mention that a pair of injured players I mentioned Darius Cooper,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: but also cornerback Jacoryan Bennett. Darius Cooper has the shoulder
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Jacoreyan Bennett has the pectoral injury. They were both spotted
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: working on a side field. Both players were placed on
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: injured reserve on September twenty fourth, but it was good
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to see them out there.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Getting some work again off to the side.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: As the practice squad churns, the Eagles today announced more
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: practice squad moves. They released cornerback Elecris and outside linebacker
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Antoine Powell Ryland. Rix has been on and off the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: practice squad over the first four weeks, and Powell Ryland
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: actually signed Wednesday, and just a day later he is released,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and in a corresponding move or corresponding moves, the team
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: signed defensive tackle Jacob Sykes, who spent one day on
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the practice squad in September. I saw Jacob Sykes today
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and just said welcome back. And you know, I had
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: a nice conversation with Jacob Sikes after one of the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: preseason games, and so every time I get a chance
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to cross paths, it's always good to converse with him.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: And they also signed defensive end kJ Henry to fill
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: those two vacancies. I mentioned Sykes spent training camp with
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the Eagles, and he was on the practice squad very
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: briefly last month. But Henry, who was most recently part
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of the Browns practice squad, was a member of the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Eagles twenty twenty four practice squad. I believe he signed
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: about the midway point of the season, and he was
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: on it throughout the postseason, so he has a Super
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Bowl ring. I saw him today again welcome back, and
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: he said, you know, it's good.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: To be back.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I hear that from a lot of these players who
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: come back, even if it's just for a week or
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: even a couple of days, they.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: All say it's good to be back.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So those are the up to date roster moves on
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the practice squad and that should continue to turn throughout
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the season. On Friday, the Eagles will hold their final
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: practice of the week and we'll be out there. We're
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: out there briefly for Friday practices. That's standard and then
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: there's Nick Sirianni will speak in the morning, and there'll
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: be the locker room session, and then it's Eagles Broncos
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: up next Sunday. So we'll have all of the news
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and information that you all need and plenty of more,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: plenty more to come on the inside the Birds platform
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: and on inside the birds dot com and of course
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: right here on to Checko Daily. This has been to
• 12:11

• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you on the next one.
