- 0:51Speaker 3: Brother how you, Doing? Mike I'm i'm back from camp.
- 0:54Speaker 4: Today it WAS i THINK i lost ten pounds just in,
- 0:57sweat so that was good development for.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Me i'm making the weight And i'm happy about.
- 1:02Speaker 1: It, well it is hot up. THERE i can imagine
- 1:04it is hot up. There it's hot down here, too
- 1:06down the shore up there at. Practice but a couple of,
- 1:08STORYLINES i guess we want to get into starting right.
- 1:10Away let's look at some of the battles that have
- 1:12kind of emerged through the weekend and where we start
- 1:14on This.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Monday let's start at that safety.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Spot andrew, mccouba the rookie did not, practice obviously Got
- 1:21Sydney brown back. THERE i see people tweeting, out you, know,
- 1:24hey The eagles have to make a trade and get.
- 1:26Somebody it's pretty clear it's. Safety do you watch the
- 1:29safety spot and wonder if the guy who's going to
- 1:32start there is on this.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Roster, NO i.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Don't it's too early for. That the shorts and shelves
- 1:39just came out. Today you, know we expect the pats
- 1:42to come out. TOMORROW i say this a. Lot Adam
- 1:45kaplan says a. Lot andrew De jecho says it a.
- 1:47Lot you cannot make definitive conclusions about a positional group
- 1:53or even a player.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Too much after what four.
- 1:58Speaker 4: Official, practices and especially before the pads come, out you
- 2:01can start to see.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Things for, Example i'm sure we'll talk about.
- 2:05Speaker 4: This it appears right now That O'dri jackson has now
- 2:09gotten a couple of days of first team cornerback reps
- 2:12Over Kille. Ringo but that's a competition where you can
- 2:17see a front runner right just like last, year you
- 2:19could See.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Isaiah rodgers clearly pull ahead Of.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Ringo but to say that The eagles need to go
- 2:25out and get a safety because of anything you've seen
- 2:29over the first few days at, CAMP i would actually say.
- 2:31Speaker 3: THIS i don't know What adam.
- 2:33Speaker 4: And andrew have, soldia but there haven't been that many
- 2:36balls being put down the field twenty or thirty, Yards
- 2:39SO i don't know how badly the stafeties can be
- 2:41playing if you're not seeing a whole lot of you,
- 2:43know passes completed twenty thirty forty yards.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Downfield, well you mentioned, safety you go over to, corner
- 2:49would you say right now With Dori jackson does have
- 2:51the lead at that corner. SPOT a lot of inconsistencies
- 2:55From Kailee.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Ringo, YEAH i mean it feels Like killy has been
- 2:58on the wrong.
- 2:59Speaker 4: End a couple of really nice catches from Aj, brown
- 3:04but you, know you can put yourself in a better
- 3:06position with better, technique better. Alignment And Vic finjo said
- 3:10That Killey ringo is a guy who's got to play more.
- 3:13Football he's got to be less handsy and grabby and
- 3:16really understand how to play the. Position and The Dori
- 3:18jackson for a guy who it seems like he's been around,
- 3:21forever he's not like thirty three or. ANYTHING i think
- 3:23he's twenty, nine are about to be. Thirty he moves pretty.
- 3:26Well he's one of those veterans who's not that. Old
- 3:30so you could see Why vic would want to get
- 3:32a good extended look at. Him but, again pads come out.
- 3:36There there's plenty of time. Here we'll just have to
- 3:37see how it.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Goes what are we getting One Johadd. Campbell obviously there
- 3:41was wonder whether he was going to be ready to.
- 3:43Go now it seems that he could be prominently a
- 3:46part of this. DEFENSE i Know Nick siriani talked today about,
- 3:49competition and he likes the competition that's happening.
- 3:52Speaker 4: There, yeah he made a really nice play today in
- 3:55the red zone drill where got into the backfield and
- 3:58almost looks like he hit the ball away From tanner
- 4:01McKee and got it on the, ground so that that
- 4:04doesn't you don't see that a lot in just shorts
- 4:06and shills practicing. Camp so that was pretty. GOOD i,
- 4:08mean he's very, fast very. Athletic that stuff we already.
- 4:13Know i'm very curious to see him get more work
- 4:16with the first team and. Smile mindon was out with
- 4:18the illness, today so it even allowed more and just
- 4:21how he naturally takes to the.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Position all.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Right Jeff mosher's WITH Us football at four here on
- 4:27The Sports Bash, monday looking At Eagles day four at training,
- 4:30camp and obviously we're kind of watching all the stuff materialize.
- 4:34Here Nick sirianni did talk. Earlier we're looking at the
- 4:36defensive side of the ball and EVERYTHING i keep seeing on,
- 4:39defense it seems that Morow ojomo's name keeps coming up a.
- 4:43Lot what are we hearing and seeing from Morow ojomo
- 4:46at defensive?
- 4:47Speaker 2: TACKLE i think the.
- 4:48Speaker 4: First thing you guys as, fans immediately you know what
- 4:51you noticed About Moro jomo is you, know he's trying
- 4:54to fill This Milton williams, role but he's he's built
- 4:56differently and he has a different kind of skill set Than.
- 5:00MILTON i Thought milton rarely last year became this like
- 5:03sort of really rock solid three technique who could not
- 5:06only rush the passer, well but move offensive lineman with
- 5:10that strength of his and that.
- 5:12Speaker 5: Burst Now milton's built a little bit, differently almost a
- 5:15little more, leaner but he's got really fast feet and fast.
- 5:18HANDS i think he can give headaches to guards who
- 5:21just can't keep up with. Him and he's got good hand,
- 5:23usage and he's a really he's a really.
- 5:25Speaker 4: UH i think he's a thinking man's pass, rusher just
- 5:29like when you listen to him talk and how he
- 5:31has a.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Plan uh smart. Kid.
- 5:34Speaker 4: Uh so he's he plays the game differently Than, milton
- 5:37BUT i think he's he can be as effective of
- 5:40a disruptor on the inside because he's got you, know
- 5:43long arms and fast hands and fast.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Feet, yeah you, know O.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Jomo and then you've Got Ty, robinson who was the
- 5:50draft pick there everybody always wondering because he was a
- 5:52guy that people seemingly worried.
- 5:53Speaker 4: For.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Uh and there's a.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Lot of guys that are kind of in that. Mix
- 5:56but it sounds like you're just kind of talking about
- 5:58is O joebo's the one guy standing out anybody else
- 6:01in that, mix because that's a big loss Of Milton.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Williams, well you, know With jill And carter not not
- 6:07practicing until, today and even today he was not doing
- 6:10everything with the first, TEAM i saw a lot Of
- 6:12Jordan davis next to a joemo or next To carter
- 6:16in the fore man.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Fronts you, know Normally.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Jordan davis has been in the over center in the
- 6:21five man front that he comes off and then you
- 6:23know they go to a fore man front and the
- 6:24nickelback comes. In but today you saw him in the
- 6:27four man, fronts which is really a pass rushing technique in.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Alignment and you, KNOW.
- 6:33Speaker 4: I guess if you're asking me IF i saw, SOMETHING
- 6:34i didn't really see him with this new physique and,
- 6:38everything you're you're hoping to see a little bit more,
- 6:40explosion a little bit more power and, displacement and didn't
- 6:43really see.
- 6:43Speaker 3: That but he got high a couple of.
- 6:45Speaker 4: Time meaning like you, know he got out of his
- 6:48leverage a few, times which he's been known to do
- 6:51with his. Body and he's still learning and adapting and
- 6:53trying to figure it all. Out but that was something
- 6:56that stuck out to. Me is that he got opportunities
- 6:58in a four man front to play that three, technique
- 7:01although even as the quote unquote three, technique it looked
- 7:04like he would be alloying himself over the center or
- 7:07shaded over the.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Center, yeah you, know that tackle rotation spot's gonna be
- 7:12very interesting to, see you, know especially When Jalen carter
- 7:15gets out. There who do they like playing next to
- 7:18him and all that, stuff and how deep will they?
- 7:20Go how many different tackles will they rotate through? There
- 7:23because last Year ojomo did get a lot of. Snaps
- 7:25people don't realize he just did make a big impact
- 7:28in terms of, numbers, Right.
- 7:30Speaker 4: It was almost like The Milton williams of two years,
- 7:32ago got a lot of, snaps didn't make the impact of,
- 7:35numbers but you could see him coming.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Along all, right we're gonna keep on the defensive side
- 7:40of the. Ball there's a lot happening over. There they
- 7:42have all the Stories, Superman Jalx. Hunt what's going on
- 7:46in that, uh you, know rotation with Josh usha And,
- 7:50Azizo jalari And Jalx, Hunt Nolan, smith all the edge.
- 7:54Rushers how are you feeling about that group after the first?
- 7:57Speaker 4: Week, yeah talk touch today and it's. Interesting he was,
- 8:01asking you know why number, zero and he basically, said, hey,
- 8:05man start from ground. Zero i'm writing a story about
- 8:07it for Fully voice Dot. Com it'll be out, soon.
- 8:10Buddy he acknowledges he's starting from ground. ZERO i, mean
- 8:13when you're on your fourth team in three, years and
- 8:16you know you only signed a one year deal and you're.
- 8:18Speaker 3: Just only just just three years removed.
- 8:21Speaker 4: From from an eleven and a HALF sax season and
- 8:24you haven't come close to duplicating. It so BUT i
- 8:27did think in general that with the shorts and sheills on,
- 8:32TODAY i thought the defense and front really picked.
- 8:35Speaker 3: UP i mean there was also some good coverage. Today
- 8:38the quarterbacks.
- 8:38Speaker 4: Held onto the ball longer than you would like, today
- 8:41the balls on the. Ground there were two. Turnovers there
- 8:43had been none in. Camp there were interceptions, today two of.
- 8:47Them SO i do, think you, know it's hard to
- 8:50isolate one guy in, particular BUT i thought it starts
- 8:53upfront as it usually, does and THE d line also
- 8:56looked to.
- 8:56Speaker 3: Me like THEY i even asked this Of moro A.
- 8:59Speaker 4: JOEMO i, said you, know did you guys do a
- 9:01little more stunting in line?
- 9:02Speaker 3: Games today and he acknowledged that he did do a
- 9:04little bit more of.
- 9:05Speaker 1: That all, right there's a little look at the defense
- 9:08from the first week that was so. Far we're entering
- 9:10week number, two day four Of eagles training. Camp Jeff
- 9:14bocher from The inside The birds podcast and of Course
- 9:16inside the bird Dot Com Philly. Voice Tyler steen looks
- 9:21pretty clear that he's the guy at right, guard not
- 9:24even really a.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Competition it almost feels.
- 9:26Speaker 4: Like, yeah it's, FUNNY i forget who Was Van Ruben
- 9:30Frank and made the note To tyler today that this
- 9:33is the one year anniversary of him getting hurt and
- 9:35losing his job to McKay. Beckton and you know it's,
- 9:38true but it's it's, hey a year, later he stayed.
- 9:42Healthy he's clearly been the first team right. GUARD i,
- 9:45Know Nick serrann he said, today it's a. Competition it's
- 9:47competition even if you're, not you, know on the first.
- 9:49Team And Kenyan green really just got to practice On,
- 9:52SATURDAY i think for the first. Time so BUT i
- 9:55mean even in OTAs Kenyon green was on the third.
- 9:57Team he's got it's it's It's tyler's team's job to
- 10:01lose and somebody else is to win it If tyler's but.
- 10:06Speaker 1: The way that it's being presented motion you were there,
- 10:09today it almost feels like they're not even letting anybody
- 10:12else try to win.
- 10:13Speaker 4: It, YEAH i mean that's, fair but you, know you,
- 10:17know any one day you can go.
- 10:18Speaker 3: To practice and all of a sudden sees something.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Change i'll BE i will be interested to see over
- 10:24the next days if that, changes only, because like we
- 10:27just talked, ABOUT i thought today THE d line or
- 10:30the four man front got some pretty good pressure and
- 10:32did some things up. Front you, know you don't want
- 10:34to judge anybody off of one day and, that BUT
- 10:38i was JUST i, thought because of, that maybe we'll
- 10:41see something.
- 10:42Speaker 3: TOMORROW i don't.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Know the other spot is THAT i know it's not,
- 10:46crazy but in THE Nfc championship, game you had to
- 10:49play a backup center and he was Asked Nick siriannie
- 10:52by One Jeff mosher whether it's important to find a
- 10:56backup center who's Not Landed. Dickerson and you, know it's
- 10:59not a y had question because you, know Obviously Tyler
- 11:02steen stepped in and played guard last. Year you would
- 11:05imagine he's not available for that. Spot right, now If
- 11:08dickerson had a play, center so is that, spot is
- 11:11there anybody emerging as the backup center or would that
- 11:14Beat dickerson and they would have to find a new
- 11:16left guard in that.
- 11:17Speaker 2: ROLE i, mean keep in Mind jurgens is coming back
- 11:19from an.
- 11:19Speaker 4: Injury, Yeah so they drafted The eagles sort of run
- 11:24the charade and OTAs and then the early parts of
- 11:26camp and you just know that they're just doing it
- 11:28to do, it because like you gotta give veterans the
- 11:32first shot and then you go. On you, know they
- 11:34they Had Brett toth as the backup center and then
- 11:37the first team center at OTAs When jurgens wasn't, there
- 11:40and it's like the, guy the guy has trouble.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Snapping he's had trouble snapping for a few years.
- 11:44Speaker 4: Now and if you have trouble, Snapping i'm gonna guess
- 11:47you probably shouldn't be a, center you.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Know just you, know my amateur for.
- 11:51Speaker 1: A, team especially for a team that runs out of
- 11:55the shotgun primarily ninety.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Time.
- 11:58Speaker 3: Right so they Drafted Drew.
- 11:59Speaker 4: Can he's got some good bloodlines, There he's got something
- 12:04he's been as he is a, center and to, me
- 12:06it'll be a matter of time before it that he
- 12:09is considered the number two.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Center but he starts to make the.
- 12:11Speaker 4: Team The eagles have like twenty offensive lineman here in,
- 12:14camp all competing for god knows how many how spot, eight, nine,
- 12:18ten maybe, eleven who. Knows but the one development THAT
- 12:21i think is interesting Is Trevor, keagan last year's fifth round,
- 12:26PICK i think sixth round, pick the kid From michigan
- 12:29who was a left, guard mauling guard road greater, guard
- 12:32only played left. Guard they've had him snapping from playing,
- 12:36center which is good for him to as a chance
- 12:39to prove you can.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Be more versatile and make the.
- 12:41Speaker 4: Team and you, know it shows that they're really looking
- 12:45to see if there can be THAT i DON'T i
- 12:48asked the question, Next, sirianni do you is it important
- 12:51to you to find a backup center not Named Blandon.
- 12:53Diggerson he, completely you, know passed on the question and
- 12:57made it seem like it's they want everybody to be
- 13:00able to Versu he gave me like zero answer on.
- 13:03That you know that they don't want to have to
- 13:06do that. Though they want a backup center who can
- 13:09come in and keep things. Going and, snap and so
- 13:12maybe Between kendall And Trevor keagan there's there's some opportunity
- 13:17there that somebody steps. UP i do Think egan got
- 13:20called for a hold today in a red zone. Droll
- 13:21that did not Make Nick serry any, Happy but that
- 13:24has nothing to do with.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Snapping, well, okay let me ask you.
- 13:26Speaker 1: This if they had to use Landon, dickerson do they
- 13:29have a guy that profiles to say he would be
- 13:31the backup guard or is it somebody that's in that
- 13:34right guard quote unquote.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Competition, WELL i.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Mean they have a lot of.
- 13:37Speaker 4: Guys, yeah if they Moved dickerson over the, center they
- 13:41have a ton of different.
- 13:42Speaker 3: GUY i, Mean keegan could play, Guard kendall could probably
- 13:44be a. Guard what's his?
- 13:46Speaker 4: Face Darian canard has played, Guard Matt pryor has played.
- 13:50GUARD i, MEAN i DON'T i don't think it's that
- 13:52they're short on guys who can play. Guard so that's
- 13:55not why they want to Move land To. DICKERSON i
- 13:57just don't think they want to weaken two. Spots you,
- 13:59know you saw what happened When dickerson went in and played.
- 14:02Center he got hurt and then they had to Put
- 14:04turgans back. IN i think that they would just ordinarily
- 14:08like to be able to put a backup center in
- 14:10If jurgons got hurt and not have to create movement
- 14:13at two.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Positions Jeff bosher from The inside The birch's Podcast inside
- 14:16The birch Dot. Com by the, way did you see
- 14:18that the uh this just? Happens he might not have seen,
- 14:21it But Traylon burkes just got released by THE Uh Tennessee.
- 14:25Titans he was the guy uh in the trade FOR Aj.
- 14:28Brown The eagles GOT Aj, brown The eagles Gave tennessee
- 14:33the eighteenth, pick they Took Traylon burke to REPLACE Aj,
- 14:37brown and today he has been. Released it's probably one
- 14:41of the worst trades in the history of.
- 14:42Speaker 4: Football, yeah It's it's definitely what DO i call revenge for.
- 14:48Uh this wasn't a bad trade as far as nothing to,
- 14:51lose but didn't work. Out when The eagles Traded Dennis
- 14:54kelly to The titans and Got Dori, Old Dorriel Green,
- 14:57beckham and you know j was supposed to be their
- 15:01starting outside. RECEIVER i don't know what they thought was gonna.
- 15:05Happen that MADE dgb some really good receiver for them
- 15:08when he was terrible In. Tennessee but it feels a
- 15:12little bit like The fens.
- 15:13Speaker 1: There, yeah well slightly slightly different results for both of
- 15:16those guys. There but, yes there's the trade that happened
- 15:21on draft. NIGHT i guess a couple of years ago
- 15:23The eagles Got Aj, Brown Driel, Green, Knockadio Treylon burks
- 15:29was the draft. Pick he went To philadelphia along with
- 15:33a bunch of other stuff, there as you could see
- 15:35on the screen for the people who are watching ON
- 15:38x THE x platform and on. YouTube but a trade
- 15:40has not worked out For. Tennessee it has worked out
- 15:43for The, eagles and we'll see what ends up happening
- 15:47With Aj. Brown Kevin batoula did speak this, weekend by the,
- 15:50way he so Tomorrow's. Fangio then they're off On, wednesday
- 15:54Than clay is, Speaking patula keeps missing.
