The DiCecco Daily, Pt 2: Former Eagles OC Marty Mornhinweg Goes Inside State Of Birds Offense · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Welcome into part two of my great conversation with former
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Morningway. In part one, Marty told
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: some fascinating stories of Eagles drafting Jaywen Hurts and his
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: role in both the scouting of Hurts and developing Hurts
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: as a rookie. If you haven't listened yet, you should
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: really check it out. There are some really great untold
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: stories there. In our final part two, Marty explains why
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it's important the Eagles decide what they want to be
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: offensively as they look for a new offensive play call,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and he goes inside his experiences at both the Eagles
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and coaching other great quarterbacks around the league.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: The Eagles offense obviously didn't reach expectations this year. It's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: been a primary talking point coming off the season. First, Marty,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: what were some of your thoughts and observations having watched
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: it and based off of what you've seen from the personnel,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: what offense do you believe would be idea? You know,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: what are some of the principles that you think would
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: would best fit this team moving forward?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Well, look, to me, offense, it's it's it's it's really
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: not about the x's and o's it's about philosophy. And
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: so then you got to define philosophy. What's philosophy. It's
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the way you go buy your business.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: We talked about hard work and preparation and and and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to taking care of the football, and all of those
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: things that go into becoming a good offense are important.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: All right, And and and and.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You attack and you're aggressive at everything, you know, starting
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: with the meetings and then practice and then on the field.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: And even if it's.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: A deceptive type of play, you want to be aggressive
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: within the deceptive type of play, right, So so you
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: get that.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: But but most importantly there's two philosophies of offense. Really,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: there's one over here where you do very little, but
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: you do it better than anybody else.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And then to be really successful there, you've got to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: have a quarterback that is really really smart because he's
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: making choices every play, putting his offense in the very
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: best play. So within that you got to be in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the best play, right. And secondly, you have to have
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: all the counters. To do it very little and doing
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: extremely well, you've got to have all the counters because
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: there's some brilliant defensive minds in the game and then
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: over here, the other philosophy is is keep your opponent
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: off balance. It's important that they not know what's coming
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: at him. If they think there's one of three or
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: four things coming at him, you're going to get slapped
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in the face.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So you keep them up at Okay, how do you
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: do that?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, personnel groups, formation shifts, motions, the number of plays.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Typically you don't run the same play twice. You know
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you're going to at least adjust a personnel group, formation
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: shift for motion, right tempo is important. Keep your podent
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: off balance. And I lean way over there. Most people
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: are kind of in the middle right, So philosophy is
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: important when for this next coordinator. And then my second
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: comment would be the quarterback. Now, some people could debate it,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: but I could debate it really well because I believe
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: this the quarterback position the most important position Andrew in
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: all of sports. He's a decision maker. He has a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: ball in his hand typically to start every play. If
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the quarterback plays reasonably well, you will typically win the game.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Because there's so much parody within the NFL, So philosophically,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you want to when we discussed it earlier, play directly
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to that quarterback strings and we just us why and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: then and then on top of that, you must stay
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: one step ahead of your next opponent. So you've got
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to keep things rolling. You got to keep them fresh.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Now on the other end, you know, they may want
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to hire somebody who's gonna do very little, do it
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: better than anybody else, uh, and have all the counters
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and have jalen.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Uh, it's like a trifecta.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: We're running outside to the right, No, there's a nine technique. No,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: we're going inside to the left. No, there's a safety down.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: We're throwing the ball against a single safety medal. So
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you get into a route like that. So it's it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: usually a trifecta when the quarterbacks go through that process.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Now for us, where we want to keep our we have.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: A little bit each game plan of the far left
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: right there, do very little, do it very well.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Uh. So we're the quarterbacks making some decisions. But there are.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Times where, uh, you know, the r p O is awesome.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You know, Mike Vic and Jeff Garcia they think they
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: invented the r PO way back when they they're they're
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: mad because people don't give them credit for inventing it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So so RPOs have been around a long time. However,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: there's a time where as a coordinator, you want to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: run the football. I don't care what type of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: because when you're in an r PO, that you're allowing
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: your opponent to dictate if you're handing the ball off
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: or if you're passing the football by a reaction or
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: an alignment of a defender.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: So, there's got to be a time where we are
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: running the football and we're going to run this play
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: out of this formation, doesn't matter what they get, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we're going to protect ourselves, you know, from blitz and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: all that by by a shift or alignment or formation.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Uh And there's a time where I am passing the football,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I don't care what type of front, stunt, blitz coverage
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that they're giving us. So I think that's important as well.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Now, you and Andy Reid had a really unique mystry
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: where there is the back and forth with the play calling.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So this is kind of a two part question. How
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: did that dynamic work? How did you guys make it work?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And then for someone like Nick Sirianni, who's an offensive
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: minded head coach who doesn't call plays, how challenging is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that for someone who's a young play caller like a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Kevin Patullo or even Brian Johnson a couple of years ago.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Well, you have to have great confidence when you're young,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a young play caller. I was very very young back
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: in the day. So you've got to have great confidence.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Things will blow up on you on occasion. You have
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to have a little resolve. You got to motor through
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the adversity that you will go through as a coordinator,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: as an offense, as a team. You know, youve got
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to be able to drive the train, keep the train
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: on the tracks through the dark tunnel when everybody is
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: got you your ear from the back, right, you better
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: keep the train on the tracks. So if you have
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: that mentality, it goes far. A couple of things you mentioned.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You are what your experiences are, right, Andrew, Well, my
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: experience was when I was a coordinator with an offensive
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: minded head coach. Oh my gosh, it was tremendous. Why
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: because we understood each other. Our communication was awesome. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: dropped by Andy's office every you know, typically it was
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: at night, you know, and have a fifteen minute discussion
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: on this or that, and you know, because your game
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: plan in a certain way typically, and then with a.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Defensive head coach or communication.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: It was always my responsibility and my aspiration to communicate
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: with a defensive head coach.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: More didn't happen.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: It doesn't happen as well up because he's so involved
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: on the with the defense that either they didn't want to,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: or they didn't have time, or they didn't even want
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to know, right, And I just didn't want to surprise.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And he had coached so so working for an offensive
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: head coach with my experience, that was all it goes.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: It goes way further now as far as far as
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: splitting play.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Call duties, that's what Andy and I did early, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: at some point he turned it over. I think it
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: was when Jeff Garcia, uh, just because I had so
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: much experience with him in San Francisco and Jeff went
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to a Pro Bowl in his second year. Now, look,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I called him a rookie in his first year he
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: played in Canada. I see, I don't really think that
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: that's a rookie, but but technically he was a rookie.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: You know, that first year I had him, went to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. The second year and Donovan got hurt
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: going out of bounds and got an a cl and
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: then here comes Jeff and and so ah uh, getting
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: back to your original question, when you split kind of
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: split the play calling duties, it's not really split because
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: you know in many games early there, Andy would would
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: do the first fifteen, so he'd get h he'd do
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: like the first two or three series and then hand
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: it over, you know, things like that, right uh. And
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: then and then when when when he turned it over, man,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it's just communication with the head coach, and and uh,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: look at if the head coach wants something, it was
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: always my I felt like duty to get that done.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Now if if I didn't see it, I go into
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the head coach and going, I just don't see it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And that was rare because their head coach is for
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a good reason, right uh. And typically most like please
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: don't do if you don't see it, don't do it,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: you know. So so it was it was uh uh
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: very very very very good. Now look at Andy and
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I go way back. We we coached four different places together,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and I coached for them. Let's see, uh, University of
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Texas Outpasso, the University of Missouri, then Green Bay then
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and and then Philly. Right, so so we had a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: big history, and there was quite a little bit of trust.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Uh. How how do you get trust?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Like like, let's say you're coaching a quarterback, that trust
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: is big, right, it is big.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: And and with the coordinator, and then with the head coach.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: With some of the defensive head coaches, I would try
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: to tell them, your.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Communication and relationship with the quarterback will take us far
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: right uh so uh and offensive head coaches tend to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: do that a little bit more naturally.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And and why wouldn't you when you if you believe
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: that that position is not the man, the person, it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the position is the most important position in all sports.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Right, we talked about that. So, uh, the communication is key, right.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And then and then, so how do you gain trust
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: with with the player that you're coaching, especially a quarterback.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: You're honest, you put everything on the table at all times.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: You don't you cut the fat, You tell me you honest? Right,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: And then you communicate and I would always over communicate.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And then as time goes on, the trust builds and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: bills and bills and bills, and then and then there's
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a bond there that is very rarely broken when you
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: build that trust.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: You mentioned communication.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And I go back to twenty twenty when not only
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: were you on staff, but you also had Andrew Bryner
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: who was a past game analyst. You had Rich Skangarello
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: who was I believe a senior offensive analyst as well,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: so you had Press as well, and you had been
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Pressed Tower and Dog.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: See Doug, Doug was a play caller in the head coach,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: so I think, right, but you know it was COVID,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: so so, uh, it was mostly Doug and Press and
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: look and it was COVID, so you yeah, I mean
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: it was very strange and bothered me a lot. But
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: but but I fell into But it was mostly Doug
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and Press and Rich a little bit, I think, But
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: but I fell into uh my my main uh uh
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: responsibility was we talked about it getting Jayalen ready to
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: play if needed, and then making that big jump passing
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the football, so pre practice, post practice in many cases
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: we were working just a little bit more than than others.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And uh and then the meetings man, this man loved
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: to put the film on. And like I told you,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean he is a diligent, diligent man.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: That's one thing I learned. I knew a little bit
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: because of the research for the draft. But once he
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: got uh to the Philadelphia Eagles facility, Uh, man, I knew.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I mean it was it was kind of obvious, uh
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that he had that part of it. Now.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You know, you and I could talk all throughout your career.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I loved learning and hearing all the different things that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you have to say. But so in the interested time,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I bottle it up to a couple more questions. But
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six was a very fond season for
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I imagine those who lived in the Philadelphia area because
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Jeff Garcia went on a nice little run there. You've
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: mentioned your past history with him, How how heavy was
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: your influence in bringing him to Philadelphia and what are
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: some of your memories from that season?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It was huge because uh, Jeff, Uh we hit it
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: in San Francisco right and then and then and then
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I went off to be a head coach in Detroit
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: for about a half a cup of coffee and then
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: to fill it right and then and then after Jeff
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: was done with San Francisco, he bounced around and we
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: we played him once or twice, I believe once when
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: he was in Cleveland and it didn't work. The way
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: it worked for him in San Francisco. Right, he wasn't
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: surrounded by quite the talent, he didn't have quite the defense,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you know, the he typically had in San Francisco. And
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: so so we acquired him uh as a backup to Donovan.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Uh And by by that time he had been to
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Pro Bowls, he had won a lot of games, he
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: had a lot of experience. So he was a very
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: good fit for us. And then Donovan, like I said,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: got hurt and we went, what do we go? Uh.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It reminded me.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Of what we did with Lamar when Joe Flacco hurt
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: his hip and that was a six week injury, and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: in Lamar's rookie year, right, Uh and Lamar we go
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: six and one down the stretch to win that tough division.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Uh and uh.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Now with Lamar, when you've got a guy like Lamar
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: or uh uh Jalen certainly, But but we're he's one
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: of the best players on your team and you've got
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: him standing by you because you've got a man that's
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback out there playing that's won a Super Bowl. Now,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I want to get him in a little bit, you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter really what position, but but wildcat
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: or wildcat quarterback or put him in the slot and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: monk just to get him some game experience, right, And
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I thought that paid off with Lamar when he was
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: forced to start and he goes six and one down
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: down the stretch man and that that's that's Uh, that's.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Very difficult to do with the rookie quarterback.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Now we had a pretty good defense, so that paid
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: off as well. Uh, But with Jeff it was my
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: biggest memory. My best memory is when we went to
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: play Dallas. I believe it was either Christmas Eve or Christmas, right,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And so so my wife and all the kids are
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: they flew into Montana to our place here and they're
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: having Christmas.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I'm having Christmas in Dallas in a hotel room right
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: after the nighttime meetings. I opened up my suitcase and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: there's a little little present there that all the kids
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: sung Merry Christmas or something if I remember. And then
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: we go beat them up like a bar mule in Dallas,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: in the Big d There's nothing like beaten.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Dallas at their place.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: There's nothing like how's that Baltimore beaten Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: and they play that Renegade song when the chips are
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: all on the table.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Loved it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: So that's my best memory. And I believed Jeff went
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to the cameras and said, Merry Christmas, Philadelphia.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Oh sheez.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Was he he was big then, wasn't he?
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Andrew, do you remember that?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I do remember that. I do, and I think a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: lot of others remember it as well. But I can
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: hear the passion in your voice, Marty, any have you
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: ever gotten the itch to get back into the coaching profession.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I was just talking to my wife Andrew this morning,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and because here's what happened.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Here's why I retired.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I got my knee done, I got my shoulder done,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: got my hernie has done, got my nose on for
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: about the four I got all cleaned up for the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: next twenty pretty good game plan won it and and
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I did a lot of rehabits. So that's in the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: past couple of years. And then I dipped my toe
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: into the media just a little bit. I never thought
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: i'd do that, by the way, you know, I was
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: a coach, but I did, and I kind of enjoyed it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden that worked into I
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: did three years three years of color commentary on the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: television for the Montana Grizzlies. Right, I do the first
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: couple of years, I did seven conference games and I
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: had a blast. In the third year, they wanted me
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: to do ten. I said, that's too many, But I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: did it, and then and then and then this year
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't. And then I cut my radio to less
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: than half. So I was telling my wife, I said,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: you know, you know when I was doing seven TV
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: and then and then the radio that that was pretty good, right,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and then when I did ten and a bunch of radio,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: that was too much because I missed a couple of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: games that I wanted to get to my son that
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: are coaching so so uh so, yeah, I.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Mean, I think because I'm healthy.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Right, And my wife was asking me, She goes, do
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: you miss the announcing? Do you miss the media a
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: little bit? I said, really, I don't. I don't because
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: you know why, I think, but I miss coach. I
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: miss everything about coaching now, right, you missed the locker room,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you miss you miss the camaraderie, you missed the game planning,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: you missed the competition. Right, As an announcer, I'm sitting
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: up there in a box for doing this with you, Andrew,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: or on the telephone on a radio show, and I'm
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: sitting there talking discussing about what those players and coaches
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: are actually doing.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: So I think that's why I don't miss it, you know,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: certainly like coaching.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: But I had a blast doing it, and it is
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: it is really fun doing it. It keeps you in
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: it too, you know, the one thing doing the announcement
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: for three years I did it seems like a lifetime
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: doing that. But you know, I played at Montana, right
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and it it kind of reeled me in a little
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: bit closer. And I know many of the guys on
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: the staff, the coaches and then but I got to
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: know some of the players, you know, because I pop
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: over there for a for a practice or two, you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: every week and all that. So so I had a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: blast doing it. I don't miss it, but I do
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: miss coaching. Uh So, Yeah.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I would, I would. I would do that if it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: got to be the right you know, the right situation. Yeah.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Hey, it's that time of the year that everyone's trying
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: to clean up their habits and that includes me. Honestly,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: having one less drink never felt easier instead of pouring
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: a cocktail. I just reached for Souls out of office drinks.

  Speaker 6: Safe Home Security. It's simply the most technologically advanced home
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: alarm system available, and it actually keeps the trust away
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: instead of telling you when something bad has already happened.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Simply Safe stops crimes before they start, using AI powered
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: cameras outside your home. Simply Safe sets itself apart from
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: the other alarm systems because agents are taking action while
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: the intruder is outside. These agents can let those intruders
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: know they're being watched and police are on the way.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: Nobody else offers that level of security. For someone like me,
• 21:24

  Speaker 2: with players and coaches.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: One thing with the Eagles fans, you know, we discussed
