ITB on WBCB: Eagles RB Will Shipley joins Caplan, DiCecco To Talk Birds · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hello everyone, It's Adam Kaplan and Andrew to CHECKO from
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: inside the Birds. You're listening to the Pro Football Report,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: presented by BCWSA right here on fourteen ninety WBCB and
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: one O seven point three FM and also seen live
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: at WBCB sports dot Com. And Andrew, we're back here
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: at Chicken, Peats and Zula Boulevard. We're here a couple
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago we were hopefully going to be joined
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: by Eagles running back Will Shipley, number twenty eight. We
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: believe Will's on his way, and the traffic was it's here.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: We're in northeast Philly, where I grew up, not too
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: far from here.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: The traffic was not good coming down here.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: In our show, tonight's produced by the great Chris Armer.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Like to thank Chris for a great job that he
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: does as always producing us at all the Chicks, Chicken
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and Pete's and so let's roll here, Andrew. So the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Eagles come off a big win against the Vikings, think
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: about a crazy game could have gone either way. The
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Eagles were a slight favorite on the road at Minnesota,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: but they won somehow, some way. They're five and two
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: as they head into this game this week against the Giants.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the offense showed a lot of resolve in that game, Adam.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: The best passing performance that I've seen from Jayleen Hurts
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: in a long time. You could argue the Super Bowl
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and I just thought that they found a way when
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the running game and they stay committed to it. Eighteen
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: carries for Saquon Barkley. It wasn't working, but they stayed
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: committed to both facets of the offense and Jayalen Hurts
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: was dealing in that game. You saw a lot of
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: deep shots, a couple to aj the seventy nine yarders
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to DeVante when they were under center. The play action,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that's what you want to see out of that offense,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and that's a reminder of what they're capable of when
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: everything's firing in all cylinders. And then the defense made
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: some timely plays. Jay looks Hunt coming up with the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: interception that isn't even possible unless jaywen Carter and he planted.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Carson Wentz gets through there and he beats the center
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and Drew mccoba coming up with the interception there. It
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: was like a gift. It was a punt. I think
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it was on the ensuing play.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: That it was just a bad decision by Hertz. In fact,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I remember saying, there you go, there's all Carson Wentz
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty. But getting back to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the Eagles offense andrew first half rather mundane, not much
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: going on. They started off running well and then at
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the running game slid at halftime. I'm like, I just
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: don't have a feel for how this game is going
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to go now. Jeff Mosher and I and greg O Sell,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we did our pregame show for Inside the Birds and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: we did say that despite what the number show, the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: tape shows, this is the all twenty two you can
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: throw against them the Viking second because they're voids. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that's what happened. But you've covered this team. You're there
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: at every practice, particularly in training camp when you saw it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to August and we'll get back to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: this game of second. This is lead up to the game.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: What did you see from the Eagles passing game in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the preseason, but specifically in training.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Camp, Well, it was more so the short to intermediate game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: They weren't necessarily pushing the ball down the field, but
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: they always had that capability and Jalen Hurts has proven
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: that over the number of years that he's been the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Eagles starting quarterback, that they have that in the arsenal,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and he's very comfortable with doing so. And they saw
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the void. As you mentioned, the middle of the field
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: was very much open for the Minnesota Vikings, and the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Eagles were able to pounce on the aggressive tendencies that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the Vikings and a Brian floor as defense presents and
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you have to give them a lot of credit for that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And that's you know, Jalen Hurts three hundred and twenty
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: six yards passing, That's that's what you want to see.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's funny, and you just said that's what you want
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to see. The fans are like, Okay, where's this been
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the entire season?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if it's always that simple. There's situations,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: there's circumstances, there's injuries that play into it, and it's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: not everything. Everything's not always in a vacuum. So it
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: seems to me, at least based off of one week,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that they're starting to hit their stride.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You would hope so, and you would hope it would
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: carry over against the Giants team that two weeks ago
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Deagles lost too. But getting back to this game, right,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: so you know Isaiah Rodgers all friend Isaiah Rodgers on
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the other side, right, and they went after him. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: mean they did. And you know it's funny because the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: fans were like, oh, how could the Egles not resign
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: him number one of the Eagles. As I understood it,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: they did make a run to try to resign him.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It didn't happen. But Isaiah Rodgers has been a splash
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: player for the Viking, so that's a big plays. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you could throw against him. He's really not a number
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: one corner. I think everybody knew that. Yeah, but Isaiah Rodgers.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You covered him last year. Give us a bird's eye
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: view of what you remember from Isaiah Rodgers. Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I like Isaiah very much. We had a good rapport.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But he's very quick and he anticipates throws and he
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: has good shirt area of quickness. But the one area
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that I saw players may able to have success was
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: bigger bodied, wide receivers. And that's what you saw in
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that game. There he is right now, will see how
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And we're gonna get into that. And here he is,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: number twenty eight from Clemson University, second year running back.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Pro Football Report. Well Shipley, good to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: see it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Man, I appreciate y'all having me. Good to be with
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: you will no doubt same here.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: How are you feeling that for a big win like that? Man? Great?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: You know, let's get back.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Good to get back on the right side of the board.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Just got to keep improving, keep getting better and looking
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: forward to a good week against the Giants.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: All right. So so well, let let's talk about today's Tuesday. Right, Typically,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: if you have a game on Sunday, it's a player's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: day off. What do you do on a day off?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Give the listeners a day of what you do?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so day in the life, wake up, do a
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: little bit of rehab, you know, just get some soft
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: tissue work on the body, whether it's some massage, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: just some mobility stuff, you know, get the.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Body back in the right direction for the week. And
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: then I usually do.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: The hyperbaric chamber, whether it's over at Novacare or you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: the Flyers have been kind enough to you know, let
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: me go over there since I'm in Jersey and you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: use their hyperbaric chamber. So that's been awesome. Then I
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: go buy Kenny's meals, grab about eight to ten meals
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: for the week, make sure everything's prepped up ready to go,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: and and.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Then yeah, just spend some time with the wife. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: it's awesome.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Andrew.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you and I spent a lot of time
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: talking to each other last season for the Rookie Diary.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And for those who don't know, you're big on cooking
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and meals and everything like that. So I have to ask,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: what's what's the latest? What do you got cooking up?
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: My wife has been doing an incredible job. Her and
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I have been trying new recipes. We just got a
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: blackstone for the backyard for one of our wedding gifts.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Finally got it in shout out to the Ritas for that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so we're trying a bunch of new different recipes.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Most of them are have been air fryer here.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Lately because we've got an air fryer cookbook that that
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: we've been trying. So yeah, it's been good.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: We're we're definitely continuing to get better and better.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: No smoker, no green egg yet, no, thank god.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: But we got some stories from our apartment last year.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: I tell you it didn't matter what you cook, that
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: smoke detector was going off.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: It was hectic.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So well as a guy, young guy second year. I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: know you just talked about food. Are you into a.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Nutrition Yes, Yeah, it's big.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: You know, I believe that it's the biggest ROI you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: return on investment for recovery besides sleep. So you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: you can get the NORMA tech boots, you can do
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: the hyperbarer chamber, you can do this, that the other.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: But if you're not handling.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Your sleep and your nutrition, then you know, I think
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: you're you're setting yourself back.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Now speaking of that, what kind of food do you eat?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: How do you stay? Do you clean food, vegetarian or
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: meat or what kind of food do you have?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my wife is incredible about you know, fueling me,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: fueling me the correct way. So just a lot of beef,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: a lot of chicken, as much protein as I can
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: get and then you know, got to get the greens
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: That's the tough part for me.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So she does a great job, whether it's making
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: me a shake or you know, throwing some spinach and
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: the beef. You know, she helps me get everything that
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I need to to be ready for the week.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: So this week featured a new kickoff return tandem, you
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and and Xavier Gibson. That was Xavier's first game with
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the Eagles. He had the thirty seven yard or you
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: had to believe a thirty three yarder. What have you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: observed and how Xavier has been adapting. He's I think
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: he's always been here three weeks now.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's awesome.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Man. You know, I love x in the locker room
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: and you know just who he is as a character
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: now as a football player, he's a he's a ball
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: or two. I think everybody was able to see that
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: this week. So you know, I'm excited to be back
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: there with him, and you know, I think we just
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: got to continue to take advantage of the opportunities that
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: that are presented to us, and you know, hopefully we
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: can we can get a big one and bang our
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: head on the goalpost here soon.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: He brings a lot of positive energy. Definitely haven't talked
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to him a couple of times. You can clearly see
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that even though that was your first game together, that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of communication. So could you talk
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit about the communication that goes into that
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: facet of the game.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it definitely never lacks back there. You've
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: got to be communicating. Uh, you know where the ball goes.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: You know, whether the call is switched up based off
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: of if it's outside the numbers or in the alley.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: You know, there's there's definitely different things also just who's
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: catching the ball. But you know, I would say there's
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: really one communicator. So going into the game, it's like,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: all right, I'll be the calm guy, or in another
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: game it could be him being the calm guy.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: And and essentially we we call who's gonna get it
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: is me?
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Me?
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Me?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: You? You you?
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: And then like I said, you know, if we've got
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: a double four and three to the play side, if
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: it gets kicked outside of the numbers to the opposite
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: of that, then you know we're changing it to just
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: go straight up and and uh, you know.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Just switching it up.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: So it's just a lot of communication, you know, pretty
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: much whatever coach Klay calls, Uh, you just got to
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: know what your responsibility is and we've done a great
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: job of that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Well, how much different is the NFL kickoff return, which
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you know the rules the rules got revised a couple
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of years ago to what you had at Clipson.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's complete opposite.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: You know, at Clemson, it was the guys lined up,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: stacked up, you know, between twenty thirty yards. Now it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: everybody at the forty yard line for them and you
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: know down to the thirty five for us, and it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: it's ultimately about catching the football downhill, uh, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: making sure that that you're getting every tenth of a
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: second that you can at the front end, and then
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: just being able to read those guys up front. You know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: we've got a tremendous front line. If they can just
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: get a body on a body, then you know we've
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: got an opportunity to take advantage of those lanes.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like inside zone, right like we were
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: talking about last week.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, at one hundred percent is you know, I
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: think you know, you can see the similarities just based
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: on whether they go front side it's going to be
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: a backside cut or they're they're standing big on the
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: back then you know it could be a front side.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: So yeah, you definitely see a lot of similarities. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I think that's that's.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: You know, helped me, you know, just adapt to it
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: and and get used to.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: It well as a rookie, and I know Andrew did
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: at rookie Diary with you last season, which we really
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it inside the Birds. But as a rookie, were
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: there any mentors? Was it Saquon anyone you you looked
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: up to when you first got to Philly?
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think Saquon is is uh you
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: know the name that jumps off the board. Along with that,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: you know Kenny g from last year. He he played
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: a huge role and you know, just helping me with with.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Everything that a rookie struggles with.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: But yeah, you know Akwan, he's he's one of a
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: kind man and in terms of, you know, just who
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: he is a football player. If I was just able
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: to sit there and watch, I would learn a ton.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: But he makes it that much better because he's willing
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: to share. He's willing to, you know, take me through
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: what he's thinking, if he sees this, this is what's
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: going through his mind. And he's been very generous in
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: that way. So I'm very appreciative of him for sure.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: And now it seems like you paid it forward because
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I talked to whether it was Shen Derek Powell in
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the summer or Montreal Johnson that you were one of
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the first players, even Darius Cooper, you were one of
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the first players that they mentioned in terms of just
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: helping them acclimate. Is that something that comes natural to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: you and do you just gravitate towards that naturally?
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think I think I kind of
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: just gravitate towards it. It's something that I've always kind
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: of embodied, whether it's you know, from an upbringing or
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: whatever the case is. It's like, whatever knowledge I have, however,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: I can help you out through through a situation you're
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: going through, or you know, different thoughts like I'm going
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: to give you all my experience and all my knowledge.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: And I think that's why our organization is so great
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: because you see that from uh, from the older guys,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: and then someone like me gets that treatment my rookie year,
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: and now I want to go and do the same thing.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: So it really starts from the top. And uh, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I'm just passing it on.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Tell us about Jamal Singleton, You're running backs coach.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: The best man.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: I'm why just who he drives me to be as
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: a person more than anything, you know, I think that
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: just the standard he holds himself to on and off
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: the field. Uh, the type of man that he is,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: the husband, the father, and then also on the football field,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: you know he's he's taught me that you can always
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: get better at something and you know you're never gonna
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: reach your full potential. So you always got to be
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: in that go mode and every rep that you watch
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: there's something that you can fix, so so make sure
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: you find it. Those are just a couple of things
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: that you know definitely resonate with.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Me on the field. If you had to pick one
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: thing that that sort of helped shape your game from Jamal.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: What would that be?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say just the details with the different runs.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: You know, whether it's keeping your shoulders square, giving that
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: shoulder tick on inside zone, outside zone, you know, making
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: a decision on the fourth step uh, and and getting
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: vertical you know, no hesitation, no, you know, extra movement
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: that that wouldn't be used. So yeah, you know, just
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: on the on the different runs, how detailed you have
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: to be uh because those linebackers mirror you. You know, everybody's
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: watching something different. So if you can just get half
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: a yard or you know, one tenth of a second
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: like that can truly be the difference in this league.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Well, you mention Kenny Gamill host now with the Steelers, right,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: so he was the third down back, the pest protector.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Now this is a big role for you this season
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: obviously on third down. What did you do to help
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: yourself improve in pest protection?
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's something that I just put my
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: head down and I really worked at this offseason. You know.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: It's it's something that I didn't have to do too
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: much in college, but was never afraid of doing.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: And I think that's where a lot.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Of it comes is you just got to be willing
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: to go and make a physical play. You know, it's
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: two guys ten yards apart, running and meeting wherever you
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: meet in there, right, So it's just really the want
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: to and then obviously all of the technical stuff.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Coach Shingleton does a.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Great job of coaching us up on pass Pro. But yeah,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I just got to go in there with the mentality
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: like it's going to be a fight, and you know
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of technicals on. You know, where you
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: can put your head and how how wide you want
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: your feet apart. All that stuff plays a great deal
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: and coach Singleton has helped me with that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: You could certainly see that paying off, especially right before
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the half you had a couple where you stoned I
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: think it was Eric Wilson, the linebacker. Does being a
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: personal protector on punt I know it's a little bit different,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: but does that help you translate over into the pass
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: pro You know.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: It's funny you asked that because I was I was
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: thinking about that after the game. You know, being a
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: personal protector, that's honestly the most one on one blocking
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: I'll probably ever do. You know, whether I'm in the backfield,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: the percentage that I'm one on one with somebody is
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: a lot higher as a personal protector, And that's definitely
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: helped me out, you know, doing it since last year
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: of Game one against Green Bay. You know, it's just
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: the ability to get those reps and you know those
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: transfer over. It's not the exact same for sure, but
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: it does transfer over and help me out with just
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: getting that experience.
• 15:24

• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles fourth rounder out of Clemson. Will Shipley, thank
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you well for joining us. There are a ton of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: people here wanning your autograph. Man. By the way, Will
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I meant to ask you this question. So you got
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: drafted here in Philly, what did you think of the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: fan base when you got here?
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I First of all, my brother went to the UPenn
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Oh I didn't know that. Yeah, two years older than
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: You know. He he lived here and him and his
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: boys went to the Eagles games all the time, so
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I got a little bit of a head start knowledge
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: from him.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: But I absolutely love this fan base.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: And you know, coming from a place like Clemson, who
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: the fan base is also very passionate, they care a
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: lot about their players. You know, I think Philly fans
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: are probably a little more back and forth in terms
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: of when we're doing good, you know, they're gonna.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Praise us, and what we're doing bad we get, we
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: get the scrutiny.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: And you know, I'm not saying that's a bad thing,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: because all I can say is I love the passion.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Now I want to relive a moment from the postseason
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: last year. I can vidly remember talking to you after
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: this play. You even showed me the photo of this
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: play at the team gave to you. In the NFC
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: title game, you forced a fumble on special teams. I'm
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: sure everyone would love to hear you relive that play.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: No, it's definitely my my favorite play from my rookie
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: year for sure.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: But you know, big NFC Championship.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Game against the Commanders and uh, you know, ultimately my
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: role last year was a core for guy who you know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: was was trying to make plays on special teams, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: I look at that every opportunity that I get on
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: the field, I just want to be able to help
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: my team win. So you know, it just ended up coming,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: uh in that game with that opportunity. But you know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: did this same thing that that I I do on
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: really every other one, And that's you know, making sure
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: that my outside shoulder is free.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: You know, it was actually a little bit of.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: A knuckleball, you know, pre knuckleball time, but it landed early,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: so I ended up going inside of the left end
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: instead of outside to keeping my outside shoulder free. So
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I'm running inside. He's He's got a pretty good hold
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: on my my back right. I'm like, oh crap, I
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: gotta get my right shut. I could I gotta get
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: outside leverage here, so I see the lead returner coming
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: to block me as well. All I'm thinking in my
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: head is I gotta get outside. I gotta get back outside.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And uh. You know it's funny the linebacker coach after,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: you know, I made him fumble and I came up,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: he was like, how'd you do it?
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Do you punch it out?
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I do not know it was in my helmet or
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: something in there that that ended up getting the ball out.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: But yeah, like I said, you know, it's uh, just
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: doing doing what I do every time, and you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: the opportunity just presented itself.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Well, by the way, speaking of the Super Bowl and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: then we're going to get to our our injury review,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: But what did you do with your ring? Where is it?
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: It is locked up in a very safe place.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Oh good god. Yeah, you look at it?
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, you know anytime, you know, anytime I
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: reminisced about it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I've got a good old video on my phone that
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I'll look at.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: But you know, the first couple of weeks, I spent
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: a lot of time with it. It was right there
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: on my bedside, and and you know, now it's locked
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: up in a safe place.
• 19:28

• 19:30
  Speaker 1: it take you to come off of that Super Bowl high?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Like weeks months to day? Like we did? You keep

• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Howd I went to Super Bowl? Like what was that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: like for you as a rookie?
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was surreal. I think for me
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: it uh, it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Kind of went into the off season just because all
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: my family and my friends and you know, when I
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: went back home to Charlotte and the off season, like,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: it is surreal to see other people's perspectives, you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: and for me it was unbelievable. I tell everyone who asks,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: like I feel spoiled. Uh to get drafted to such
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: a great organization and to get a Super Bowl my
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: first year, Like, I understand how blessed I am for that.

  Speaker 1: to play center. I don't like these sudden changes, man,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: when you were asked to do something that yes, he's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: done it before, but you've done You've had to do
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: it as a as a collegiate or as a high
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: school player. How tough is it when you you got
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to do something different than you may practice during that week.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's definitely tough, you know. And the you

  Speaker 4: never want anyone to get injured, so you know, speedy,
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: speedy recovery to cam. But for Brett, Brett to come in,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: like everybody has full confidence in him, how he prepares
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: throughout the week is you're nothing short of a starter.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: And his communication, he's on tea with it, and and
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: you know, like I said, there is definitely no dropping
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: confidence when Brett goes in there of Hey, that's our guy.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: He knows what he's doing and he's prepared for this
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: moment just like everyone else's.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: People forget Andrew. He's been here since twenty nineteen, off
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and on of course the roster.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is his seventh year. I've had some really
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: good conversations with bretton and so I have a question
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: about the oblique because that's what that's what Grant's dealing
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: with right now. Yeah, what is it? What does that
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: feel like? What's the recovery process like? And how are
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: you able to sort of navigate through that.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I got mine week one and Dallas,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: and and you know, it's a little bit different for everybody.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: From the couple guys that I've talked to, you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: mine was in the front of my rib cage, you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: front apps. Some people can get it all the way,
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: you know, in their their rear rib cage. But for me,
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: it was just really the twisting and rotational piece to it. Uh,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: it's just getting that back down, being able to you know,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: breathe through all of your movements and and you know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: you've got to be ready for when you go back
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: out there, especially Grant for tight end, me for running
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: back when you're engaged on a block and you know
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: you're trying to stick with them, your obliques are what's
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: keeping you still there, right, So you know, it's just
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: making sure that you're confident, confident that you can go
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: out there and do.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: What you need to do.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Uh. But for me, it was you know, a good
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: two three weeks and and uh, you know, you're never
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: gonna feel one hundred percent during the season.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: I fully believe that as well.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: You were a protection for it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I've got a rib you know, just the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: same way that I wear extra paths my shoulders.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I got it down on my ribs. Now it's not
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: not one.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Of those big quarterback protectors, but yeah, I got some
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: stuff covered.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna talk with the because is he's Hoche
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Lauri with a hamstring. But of course he added Brandon
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Graham today. Well, give give the folks an idea what
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it's like to be Brandon Graham's teammate.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's unbelievable.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: I mean the leader that he is, you know, just
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: the vocal leadership, also the leadership by example. I mean,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: you know, he he just entails everything that that you
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: want in a locker room. So you know, I think
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: I speak for everybody when when I say that we're
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: really excited, uh to have Beg back.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite Beg story?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Probably all throughout last year camp, whenever I I got
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: in there and Beg was on the other side, he
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: would he would point me out and say.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: It's a pass. So just toying with me as a rookie.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think just his playful nature and how
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: much he likes to talk trash, everybody will be excited
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: to have that back.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I was missing here in locker rooms closed.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, but boy, even by the way, players
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: have been doing that for like decades at Novercare. It's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: funny you mentioned that because I don't know if it's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a SMO started it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but BG, we'll probably hear that tomorrow.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I can't wait right now. It'd be interesting. So so
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: is He's og Laari with the Hampshire Eagles ended the
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: game with just three edge rushers by the way, speaking of,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what they do with him. But joh
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Hot Campbell. Tell the folks about joh Hot Campbell watching
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: him practice against you.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's incredible. You know, we saw it all
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: throughout camp, just to his his physical ability, but also
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: you know, the mental ability to pick up a playbook,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: go out there and have the confidence to, uh, you know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: do what he did. So yeah, I think everyone's seeing,
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: you know, he is a specimen somebody that that has
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: to be dealt with, and uh, he's done a tremendous
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: job so far.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Ernandrow jury Jackson now with concussion, so what is the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: qui back situation look like to you? Right now? Yeah?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: That was scary. A Dory suffered a nasty concussion there
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: and it's looking like keelely Ringo. I know this week
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Jacorey and Bennett at least by my estimation, is eligible
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: to have the twenty one day window open. We'll see
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: if that happens. But those those are the two players
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: that I think you look at. And they also have
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Mac McWilliams, who's my Rookie Diary subject this year, who
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: who's also in the fold. And Vic Fango has spoke
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: glowingly about his work behind the scenes, as you know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: primarily as a nickel, but he's also working outside as well.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Mac Mickwams. What are your faults in Mac?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, I love Mac too.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: You know, my first game back against the Bucks was
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: really his first game getting gunner reps out there. So
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: you talked to someone a lot throughout the week on
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: you know, something small like that, and you know Mac,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: he keeps his head down, but he works really hard,
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: and you know, just another really good guy to have
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: in the locker room and somebody that you trust because
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: he puts the preparation in.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I know that you know you don't you have played gunner.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: But I was talking to Keeley about this, what makes
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: a good gunner that looks like an awfully challenging position
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: because it's one on one against two and you have
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: to have quick feet and all that.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Kieley Ringo and Sydney Brown. That's what makes good gunners
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: after truly. I mean you you watch those guys outside.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's something to watch. It's tough to to,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: you know, ever try to take them one on one
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: because they know what they're doing. They get down the
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: field and they do such a tremendous job. So it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: just having that speed, that confidence, and uh, you know,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: being able to also be physical and tough when they
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: do double up for.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Special teams because you're returner. Do you work mainly with
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Tyler Brown or both him and Michael Klay?

  Speaker 4: me and Michael are always talking about different looks, kind
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: of what their philosophy is, different plays we have going
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: into the week, and then Tyler Brown does a great
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: job of getting us ready catching the football, you know,

• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Does Michael Clay do anything special for the meetings, Like
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I know, I think Kylon Grants and Jeremiah Trotter they're
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: second in the NFL and Special Teams tackles. Did they
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: shout it out, did they put anything up on the
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: board or anything.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Coach Clay does a tremendous job of giving gratitude where
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: it's deserved.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: And you know, he highlights it.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: We watch all the plays from the game and he
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: really goes through everybody one on, you know, one by
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: one and and just you know, gives us a lot
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: of respect for the amount of effort and and toughness
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: we're putting in. But when you talk about trot and Kylon,
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: I mean it's, uh, it's been fun to watch those

  Speaker 3: Group right now.

  Speaker 1: that coming. Include to you guys, I'm sure, but hey,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: it's the NFC East will you never know? You're playing
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: those Giants again, but this time it's at home. You've
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: seen their tape. You know what, Now you're an offensive guy,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: you're also on special teams. Give us an idea because
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you've already seen the tape of the Giants defense. What
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: does the defense look like to you?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, they're they're really stout up front, and
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: when you got guys up front in the trenches, it
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: makes just everything easier from the levels back to that. So,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: you know, props to really their whole defense. They've they've
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: got a great group of guys and we just got
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: to put in the right preparation and make sure we're
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: ready when we go out there.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: How About from a coverage unit perspective? What what what
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: looks did they present? Say it again from a coverage unit?
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: From from kick coverage kick coverage?
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know we were matchup last game against them.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Uh so it's just a lot of one on one blocks,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: you know, front side, you know, they've got a couple
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: of primary guys that they really just let loose and
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: send to the football and then you know, other than that.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: You you got your responsibilities keeping you outside, shoulder free,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: backside stuff. But yeah, I'm sure coach Clay will put
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: together a great plan for us to go out there
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: and succeed on that and and you know every other
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: special teams.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: But it's really just all about the work.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: So going back to their defense, abdel Carter, big time
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: first round pick. What does his tape look like to you?
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Really good, you know, to be such a high draft
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: pick out of Penn State and really come in and
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: do what he's done. Really, that whole rookie class from
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: the Gens have have really just done a great job.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: It's it's fun to watch, fun to compete against. So,
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: you know, props to those guys and and we're just
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: getting ready for a great week.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: At playing the running back position. What are your impressions
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: of rookie Camp's Gottabo.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a stud.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Uh you know, I watched his stuff last year from
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: ASU and and uh, I don't know anybody that didn't
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: know his name what he did in the college football playoffs,
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: so uh, you know, he's a really good talent. Somebody
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: who's just aggressive is all get out. You know, I
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: think everyone sees that and and uh, you've got to
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: have respect for for someone who who plays the game
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: like that and and has that that aspect of aggressiveness
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: and uh just going out there physically and and doing
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: his thing.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: So to bounce back. You know, you guys had that
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: huge win over the Vikings. We saw coach Sirianni's little speech.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: You they put a little snipp on the website. Let's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: talk about coach Siriani. Your thoughts on him? Now your
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: second season, this guy's won a lot of games when
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the best coaches in Egles history. Your thoughts on Coach Siriani.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been very blessed with head coaches, you know,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: all the way back from high school, Andy Capone, you
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: know Tim Carson my freshman year, and then go to
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: college with you know, coach Sweeney, and now I got
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: coach Siriani. So I've just I've been so blessed with
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: you know a line of great coaches, great leaders more so,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: people that know how to to lead men and not
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: only develop you on the football field, but off the
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: football field as well. And you know that's exactly what
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: coach Sirianni does. He he always finds a way to
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: to get us motivated, get us, you know, on the
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: right track, and ultimately you just give us the best
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: chance to go out there on Sundays and win.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: When you say motivated, is it the speech or is
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: it one on one meeting? One on one? Like what
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: what does he do to motivate you guys?
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing is it's it's different. It's whatever's
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: needed in the moment, you know, you know, whether it's
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: the message that he's put together for the team meeting
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: or just knowing his guys, knowing his players. He just
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: does a tremendous job of that to get in this portion,
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: you know, tough detail together, that's that's what we preach
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know, he really does a great job
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: of making sure all those are executed.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I think one of the more remarkable things just being
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: around Nick Sirianni for the past four seasons is the
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: culture that he's established there. It really is something to behold.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: You know, I think a lot of people, especially at
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: least me growing up, I was like, oh, I don't
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: think there's much culture, especially compared to college football and
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: NFL locker rooms. You know, you got young rookies like
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: me and then you got guys like BG going into
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: double digit years with kids, you.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Know, so like, how does how do you mold that into.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: A locker room? And coach Sirianni, it's exactly what he does.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: He gives us a message, you know, to where we
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: want to spend time with one another. We want to
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: get to know each other outside of the football field,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: and that makes us go a little bit harder for
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: one another on the football field.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Did you have any pre draft meetings with him? Did
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: he challenge you to a game of horse.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Or anything like that?
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah? No, Actually I didn't have any pre drafts meetings
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: with him, but I met coach Singleton throughout the process,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: and you know, I knew just just uh from our
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: meetings that you know, Philly was a place that that
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: I wanted to be.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Give us an idea of Coach Petullo, the Eagles offensive coordinator,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: he calls the place get not a lot of people,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I know he's been with Eagles five years, but not
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't give us an idea of
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: what it's like to work with him.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's really awesome, you know, Like I've talked about,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: it's really easy to be confident in someone when you
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: see the preparation that they put in.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: And and I think that's how I can describe it
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: is is you know, he.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Works his butt off.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Uh. He watches hours and hours of film to to
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: you know, put us in the right situation out there
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: on the field. And you know, ultimately both the players
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: on both teams are getting paid. Uh. And you know,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: we've seen a lot of stuff this year offensively, but
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: you know, when when you see someone put in that
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: much preparation, you've got a lot of confidence and and
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: you know just the output that's gonna occur.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I've got to ask you about the guy on the
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: other side. One of my favorite coaches, just to hear
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: him speak, is Vic Fangio, because he puts it all
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: out there. He's crusty, but he's phenomenal Hall of Fame
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: type coach. I know you're from offense, but give us
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: an idea of what it's like to be around Vic Fangil.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just got so much respect for him. He's all
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: about ball, baby, you know. And and he's he's got
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: that personality where he's going to tell you what he
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: thinks and and I think that's really good Uh, you know,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: so he he's very talented at what he does.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: And I've got a lot of respect for him.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: For what's it like going up against the Vic fangil
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Le defense in practice?
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's competitive. It's competitives all get out. You know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: we'll have a competitive period. Maybe defense you know, gets
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: the best of us. We'll hear about it in the
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: huddle after, you know, the team huddly.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: He's he's very confident.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: And and you know what he does, and uh, he's
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: not afraid to speak on it when when he gets
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: the best of the offense.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: By the way, do you talk junk at all? You know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: in practice and specially practice. We'll get the games another time,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: but practice, Hey, if you make a big play, hey
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: you say anything.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: The def Now I'm I'm a little more quiet on
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: the field.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: I'd just like to go out there, play ball, be
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: focused in the moment.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: And uh, you know, if if that means.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: That I get a little excited and and you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: say a little something, then then it does.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: But I definitely don't hang my hat on it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I think I saw you mix it up with either
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Dallas or somebody not necessarily talking, but but you know,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I'm mixing it up in a little bit of a
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: you know, push it and shoven.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man, it's fun. Yeah.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: So okay, we're doing Keys of the Game, right. So
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago, we're all stunned. You guys lost against
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the Giants and they were, by the way, they were
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: whooping it up after the game like this is like
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: their super Bowl And I get it, you guys with
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champs. So what's gonna take two weeks later?
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: You just had a big win. It gets Minnesota to
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: follow it up and beat those Giants.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just double down on our preparation. We know that
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: our coaches are gonna put us in the right spot
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: to go out there and succeed. And you know, ultimately
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: it comes down to us doing our due diligence and uh,
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: you know, putting our best foot forward and and you know,
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: just honing in on those keys, tough detailed together all week,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: making sure that that you know, we're never going to
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: reach perfection, but we want to get as close to
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: it as possible throughout our reps and just get great
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: looks and yeah, just go out there and play free.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: On Sunday, I want.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: To circle back to Michael Clay will because I've been
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: really impressed with him over the last number of seasons
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: and his ability to tap into all of his resources
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: and leave no stone unturned and find ways to get everybody,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: you know, engaged in special teams. What makes him, in
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: your estimation, so effective as a coach.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: I think that I think it's because in his head,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: he's still a player, you know. And and I joke
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: around all the time, you know, me, Ben Van Sumerin
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: and aj Dillon, you know, we all think that Michael
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Clay could be on a fifty three man roster. To
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: this day, he's running around practice, you know. Just so
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: I think he in his mind, he's still got that
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: player's mindset. You know, he asked us for our input
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: all the time. What do we see, how are we
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: feeling throughout the game? What changes can he make to to.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Help us out?
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: So, you know, it's just that that progressive mindset that
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: you know, anything that pops up, he's gonna be able
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: to adjust and adapt to put us in the best position.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: There's one guy we didn't mention. That's the legend Joe
• 39:14

• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Up, Adam Kaplan, Andrew Cheko and number twenty eight from
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, Will Shipley all right, man, so Andrew and Will.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: It's interesting when we come into a season, you never
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: know the NFL is so crazy, you just never know.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: But Andrew, you and I talk coming into the season
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: what this team could look like, right, Yeah, I think
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: it's kind of along the line of I don't pick gay. Okay,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: well we might give an overall record, but we knew
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the Eagles were gonna be good. But you never know.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: The NFL is so crazy. You never look at the
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Giants list with Eagles opponent. Sure, one of the craziest
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: losses I've ever seen. I've covered this missus twenty seven years.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I could't even describe the fourth quarter. But Andrew, you've
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: seen this Eagles team now, you've been around them since
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni got here. What makes Nick Sirianni so unique.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: I think and Will can certainly attest to this. His
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: ability to relate to his players and be consistent every
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: day with his messaging, and just be really diligent in
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: the preparation, not feed into anything that's going on outside,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: and focus on everything internally and what they can do
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: moving forward to best put them in position to win
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: each and every week. And if you think back to
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: almost every game that the Eagles have played under Nick Sirianni,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: they're ready to go each and every week. There there's
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: never that that lower, that lapse, and I think that
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: that is a testament to his messaging and how that
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: resonates within the locker room so will.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: What's what I find interesting is I talk to a
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: coach who Nick worked with with the Cults and said, Hey,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: what can you tell me about this guy? He goes,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: he's big on connecting and go he goes, let them
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: tell you what that means and report back to what
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: you hear. It's very unique, like usually coaches want to
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: keep their since I know, like you don't, you're not
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be best friends with a coach. But what does
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: connecting mean to you?
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it's just uh kind of like I
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: alluded to earlier.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: Once you're able to connect with somebody, you care about them,
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: and then that makes you do a little bit more
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: for them on the back end, whether it's you know,
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: football relationships a football locker room, or you know, your.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Relationships outside of football.
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: You know, when you connect with someone, you care for
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: them and you'll do a little bit more for them.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: What's the biggest lesson that you learned after your rookie
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: season that you applied going into year two.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: I would just say.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: What it's like to practice like a pro, and it's
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: something that you know, I'm still continuing to get down.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: But you know, like I said, being so blessed to
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: have Saquan and Kenny in front of me last year,
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: both of those guys are pros in and out. You
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: know how they practice their preparation leading up to Sunday.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: So it's I think that's where I made the biggest.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: Jump from year one to year two and the things
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: that I learned and I was able to carry those over,
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: but something I'm continuing to to get better and better at. Well.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about your growing up. Did
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: you always play running back and be if you did,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: or when you started to do it full time, anyone
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: you pad in your game after, anyone you really followed
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: as a kid.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: Uh. Yeah, I really played running back from the first
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: time I can remember. I always did offense and defense,
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: you know, even all the way through high school, I
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: played safety as.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: Well as running back.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: But I always love scoring touchdowns and I feel like
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: at the running back position, you know that that gave
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: me the best chance to do that, especially early on.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's just something that that I picked up
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: real early.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, how about football, IQ, Will we talked about
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: that at training camp. One thing that that really stuck
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: with me talking to you every week last year, it
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: is your highly highly you know, exceptional football IQ. Where
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: does that stem from? And how did you go about
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: honing in on that?
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: Just all the great coaches that I've had, And you know,
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: there's always a degree of want to. You know, someone's
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: got to want to understand it to really put in
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: the time. And you know that's something that I've done
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: just because I love it, but I've also had such
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: great guides, uh to to be able to know how
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: to watch film, how to study somebody and and you know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: pick up the right clues, be looking at the right things.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: It's just something that you got to put in the work,
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: just like anything else.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I definitely take pride in it.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: And you know, I think that it's something I.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Hang my hat on.
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: But just always continuing to grow and progress and find
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: new ways to you know, give myself an advantage out there. Yeah.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: I think the best example for that is you mentioned
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: a week one last season personal protector on punt. I
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: have to imagine you didn't have any experience playing that
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: position at Clemson.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, did you Yeah, No, you're you're right.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: I didn't play any special teams at Clemson except for
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: kick returner, you know, throughout my my whole career there,
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: so it was something new for me. But they put
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: me in positions leading up to to week one to
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: get me ready for that, and it's something that.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: I just had to kind of dive into.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: Uh, you know, watching the opposing team, whoever we were
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: playing that week, what rushes they're sending, are they heavy
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: eight seven six box?
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: You know, just different things that you look at.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: And coach Clay and TB, coach you know, Joe p
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: they all did a great job of helping me learn
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: how to study, you know, those behaviors myself and and
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: pick it up as quickly as as I did.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Communications obviously key there. But did you feel comfortable right
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: out of the gate being a vocal guy?
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: You know, I think with that position at PP, it's
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: it's something where I feel like, uh, you know, I've
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: got to take lead. You know, I'm obviously the guy
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: that's calling the formation and the snap count, so just
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: making sure that I'm putting those guys in front of
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: me in the right position, because what I'm calling out is.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Where they're going to go, where their eyes are going
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: to start.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: So you know, definitely just taking that that leadership role
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: and being able to make sure that you know, it
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: all goes smoothly.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I got to ask you a quest. One of
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: the best games we've seen from Eagles receiver was last week,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: of course, the Slim Reaper Davante Smith. Before we get
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: even into that game, what he did, which is incredible,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: What does this guy look like in practice to you?
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, he does the same things sometimes even crazier
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: things in practice really than he does in the game.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: Wo you know, his his pedigree, what he's been able
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: to accomplish throughout his football career, I think just goes
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: to show the type of football player and the type
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: of person he is, how hard he's worked for it.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: And you know, the product that he puts out there
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: on Sunday is what we see throughout the week and
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: even better throughout the week.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: So you know, it's it's it's.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: A blessing to be his teammate and just see some
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: of the extraordinary things that that he does.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: It sounds like nothing he does surprises you even that
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty three yard output seventy nine yard touchdown.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just seems to come natural for him.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: And he bounces back from every big hit.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's That's one of the craziest things, is uh.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: You know he makes these catches.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: I think about the one against Minnesota going across the
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: middle with Harrison Smith right in front of his face, like.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: He's just so focused on the football.
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: And and making sure that he makes that catch that
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: he he doesn't care what how hard he gets hit
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: or or if his body gets flipped you know, three
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: sixty backflip style.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: He's he's gonna make the catch.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: And you know that's the confidence that everybody has in
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: him because of the work he puts in.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: All Right, So we got to talk about one player,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: number one, the quarterback Jalen Hurts. So he has a
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: game like the second half, the players were saying after
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: the game, he had that look when you're in the zone,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: give us an idea of what it's like to play
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: around Jalen Hurts.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a he's a winner man, and and you
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: know that's what he breeds within the culture that that
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: he creates on this team as well. You know, he's
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: got a big leadership role and uh, you know he
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: always breaks it down on win and and you know
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: that's that's something that as a football team we love doing.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: You know, everyone's happier, everything's going better when you're winning.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: And we also in understand that there's a lot of
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: sacrifice that goes into that. And you know that's kind
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: of just who Jalen is is is sacrificing, uh and
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: and putting in the work leadership by example, everything extra
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: that he does shows us all how much you know,
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: he cares about winning, and and we've got uh no
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: better choice but to follow around and and you know
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: let him lead us there.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I always get the sense, regardless of what the scoreboard
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: may say, that he just instills an inherent belief within
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: the offense and really everyone on the team.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Is that accurate?
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I don't think I could have put it
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: better myself. I mean that's uh, that's really a great definition.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: And and you know he instills it in himself so
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: that everybody else can see that.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: And like I said, we just follow.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Well one more player I actually it's the guy who
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: backs him up the Mormon missile. As Jordan Mylotta calls
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: him Tanner McKee. He's like a legend, but it doesn't
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: play a lot. Give us an idea of what Tanner
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: McKee looks like in practice.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he's uh exactly what y'all say. See
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: in the preseason games where he just goes crazy.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: You know that that means, yeah, that's what works as well. Yeah,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: he can really throw the football.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: And you know, you talk about football at Q, that
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: guy is really smart. You know, I get a lot
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: of reps with him throughout practice. So, uh, just the
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: way he communicates in the huddle, and you know takes
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: control as well, and and just you know, standing next
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: to him in the backfield, you feel confident that something
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: the good's gonna happen. Uh, And you know he's a great,
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: great football player.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Is there anything that you do in terms of past catching,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: like I catches three hundred and fifty balls a day.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I saw something like that. Is there anything that you
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: do to to really fixate on that aspect of your game?
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just hit jugs every time we go out
• 52:44
