Football at Four: What will the Eagles Defense Look Like Past this Season? · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We talked a lot about the Eagles offense moving forward
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in the future. What does the defense look like over
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the next few years. We'll see right now, Adam Capelin's here.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Now. This is a discussion that I think is really interesting.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We talked about this, I think last week, Adam, whether
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: or not this defense is better, possibly ceiling potentially than
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the defense from last year as we take a look
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: at what they'll look like over the next few years,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a lot different than the offensive side of the ball.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: What's happening, man, Yeah, I'm good to talk to you, Mike. Yeah,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: just a couple of things. Did we mention last week
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: that it's the thirtieth anniversary of the Information of the
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: New World Order?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Do we talk about No, I don't think we did.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: The thirtieth conniversary. Isn't it insane? Do you know where
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: you were when that happened?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I at that time, Why, I watched a lot of
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: wrestling at that time. I wasn't a big WCW guy,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: so that kind of came out of right field to me.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So I was at my nephew's house, my nephew Sam,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: and my brother Andy's house, and and my other nephew, John,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: we were all trying to guess who the third man was.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: We all got it wrong. Although Eric fishoffs Cent on
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: this podcast one of us I think guest Sting now
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: he was. It was actually going to be if Oogan
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: said no or changed his mind, it was going to
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: be Sting. I just for those of you like wrestling,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm talking about. If not, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I get why you don't care. But it was the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: biggest angle in russelling history. I haven't really watched wrestling
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: in the last twenty five years, but I could tell
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: you I was blown away by that angle pretty good.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So that that music that accompanies Adams Kaplan's entrance to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: our football at for that was the NWOS music there
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that we use for Adam. So let's look at this
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Eagle defense.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Where are this? Where are they the next couple of years?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Because obviously Vic Fangio has got to be talked about here.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: There was some thought that he might not even be
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: back this year.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of things. So Vic, let he breaks
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: his own news, as you know, his own news, defensive
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: news is he's great. So he said he's got past
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the season at least two years left in him. That's
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: what he indicated. So they're run there, which means they're
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: gonna run their thirty four front with two overhangs. They'll
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: they'll do a lot of their five man front with
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the three defensive tackles and the two edge rushers. But Mike,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: what we're doing this week on Inside the Birds is
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: we're going through all our contractual challenges and issues for defense.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: We did offense last week, so that's why we're talking
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: about this on football for today. But what we're gonna
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: do here is a little different. We're gonna talk about
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: what this defense is going to look like after the season.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: He's on a contract. Who's not what this thing could
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: look like. So upfront, if Davis signed long term, so
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be here a long time and they can't
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: get out of his contract until after twenty seven anyway,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Jalen Carter, Uh, there's a there's you know, there's a
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: there's a move here to try to get his contract
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: done by training camp. We'll see if he gets done.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: But he's going to be here a long time and
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: he's signed here. Remember he had its, Remember, Mike, he's
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: got fifth year option year plus more. But Eagles don't
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: let Eagles don't let these things happen. They get these
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: guys done early. He's now in his fourth season. They
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: love them. But after this season, Ojomo's contract is up.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Moro Jomo played very well last season, really good first
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: step quickness, but they don't have anyone past him. In fact,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: if Ojombo does not resign, Byron Young, who's been a
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: good backup for them, really good waiverclaim his contracts up.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: If Gabe Hall has been on off Eagles roster, really
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: he's not contributed only he's got some upside, but he
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: doesn't really factor in now. Ty Robinson, Mike, this is
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: a big off season for him. It's a huge trading
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: camp for him. He's got to push for he's got
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to push for a role. He doesn't have one right now.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: He's definitely going to be in the roster. But really, Mike,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: this is a big training camp for him. And if
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Ojomo leaves Mike, which we'll see what happens, he by
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the way, change representation and he's obviously looking to get
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: his deal done sooner rather than later. But if he leaves,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: there's a major question about who will play next to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Davison Carter.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean and we know the Eagles like to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: draft that position and they I don't think I don't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: think they took it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Oh well, they took the guy right in this year.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: But he's a major project.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So do you think, uh, do you think Ojomo will
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: get the kind of deal that Milton Williams got?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And that's funny. We actually talked about that on Monday Show.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Milt Williams was a true run restricted free agent and was.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: He's a power player. He's perfect for an odd man
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: front because he's so physical. He can handle two blockers
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: if need be. He's explosive, but he doesn't have Joba's quickness.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: But he's just a better technically, a better football player.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: That's the way we've seen around the league. I don't
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: see him getting I don't see it, Mike. He's got
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: pass rusher, he's a little bit better pressures to Milton Williams,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: but overall, Williams is seen as a better football player. No,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I don't I see it as although the boy that
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the tackle numbers are exploding, but I could see low twenties.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: The Eagles, we were told they were out at around
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: twenty four million to bring Williams back of Washington. As
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I noted, was in on Jalen Phillips, they were out
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: at around twenty two million. But when those are heage rushers,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: when you look at Mike defensive tackles, those numbers are
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: going up too. We talked about Jalen Carter on the show.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: You're looking at thirty three to thirty five million a year.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I mean that's if I'm Drew Rosenhals, you're probably gonna
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: want to You probably don't want to do a deal
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: for less than thirty five million that Remember, Mike, these
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: numbers don't go down.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: They go up, always go up, They never go down.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Let's look at that edge spot where obviously the Eagles
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: made the trade for Jonathan Grenard. They do got two
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: young players there. They've got Jenson, They've got Nolan Smith.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: But for how much longer?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: All right? So Grenard signed a four year extent. The
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: first two years are fully guarantees. He's going to be
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: here long time. We don't know if it will be
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: what he could. He seemed to think that he's going
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: to be a full going training camp to start when
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: they when they start practicing in late July. But bottom liners,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: they're counting on him big time. They increase his pay
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: from just over nineteen million to twenty five million a year.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Actually it's more than that. If you add all the
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: bells and if you add the pre game roster bonuses
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: and what workout bonuses it it actually gets it closer
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: to thirty million a season. But the bottom line is
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: he's going to be here a while. Then the other
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: side this season is Jaled Sunt and Nolan Smith. Now
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Jalic Sunt Mike they could extend his contract after this season.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: They'll look to do that. If he kicks butt, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: mean if he that was actually on the on the
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: show that dropped today that that's was the big discussion
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: for Jeff and I What is that? What is that
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: contract going to look like? Well, it's going to determine.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: It will be determined about how he plays. I mean,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: if he if he has a major inco in sacks.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, you saw the three interceptions, which is incredible
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: that we did play safety at Cornell. Let's not forget that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: So he knows how to drop. But if he has
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: a major increase in sacks, it's it's going to be interesting.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Now Nolan Smith, Mikey has fifth year option rolled over,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: which is not a surprise because the Eagles would like
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: to have some leverage if he has a good year,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: if he if they can't reach an extension, he could stay.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: You know, he'd be under contract because he signed through
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: twenty seven now, because he's got his fifth year option.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: But it's not like his fifth year option numbers a lot.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: It's just over thirteen million. That's that's not that's not
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: prohibitive in the trade, so they'll be they'll have depth
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: next year. Two Ebukutty's contracts up after the season that
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Panessa signed a one year deal, Joe Joe triumpha Inca
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: sign a one year deal with minimal guaranteed money. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: by the way, he misses two practices in the minuetury game.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: That was really weird. So we'll see what happens with him.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: So after the season, it's Grenard, it's Hint, it's Nolan Smith,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and then we'll see about Keishaw, James Newby, who's the
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: seventh round. He's a big long shot to make it,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: but they'll have at least three guys, and quite frankly,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Mike Finji only plays three guys. He dresses foor but
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: then we play three at edge.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very interested to see what this edge rotation
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: looks like this year. And Nolan's Smith's future too. That's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. We'll keep an eye
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: on that. For years, Adam, the linebacker position on this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: team was a spot of almost a joke where we
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: would laugh they wouldn't draft one.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Where are they now?
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: It was like the Phillies outfield that currently Mike, that
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the fact that Eagles were lucky to get T J. Edwards,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: who was an undrafted free agent the Phillies at Brandon
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Marshall was leading off today. It's crazy, but yeah, I
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: mean TG Edwards kind of was the start of them
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: turning it around it at linebacker overall. And then Zach
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Blond came out of nowhere. Mike, you know, I like him.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: We do the show tomorrow. It's gonna drop my Mike.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I actually bring up the Christopher Sanchez trade. Who nobody
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: thought anything of. Christopher Sanchez trade for Curtis Meade and
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Christopher Sanchez met looks like plus the best starting pitchers
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: in baseball. You couldn't make it up. Like we talked
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: about Zach Bond. Zach Bond, he made about four million
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: his first year, but that was to be a backup
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: dte rusher and special teams player and VIC Fanjo Saut differently,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: he saw him as a starter, who the hell knows.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Pretty amazing to me and it's one of the most
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: unlikely stories other than joying my lot in the last
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: twenty five years. So past the season, Mike, they did
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: a small adjustment at Bond's contract. They gave him one
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: more year. They added a year to it for cap purposes,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: so he's now signed through twenty eight. We'll be here
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: for a while. Campbell, he's in the second year of
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: his four year deal. Plus you've got a fifth year option.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: He'll be here a while. Trot Junior, this is his
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: third year of his four year deal. On Mandan, this
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: is his second year of a four year deal. So Mike,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: they're stacked at inside backer. Play to you need a third,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Trot tunish your three manager four. They did sign Deontay Lawson,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: who's a very tall, angular inside backer who had an
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: a cry at Alabama, who he'd been a mid round pick.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: And also Chance Campbell, who Bobby Bobby Kingnagles linebackers coach
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: coach in Tennessee so they've got a good thing going
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: here at inside backer. Mike, You're right as you set
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: it up. It's really never looked as it's remarkable me.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: They lose Dean, Okay, you lose, you lose to Kobe
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Dean and TG Edwards, but yet you're still really good
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: at inside backer.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to uh.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: This is a very interesting one because for years corner
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you had all these guys, Josh Job and guys you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: know that they had been you know, just taking flyers
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: on who had and the selling point Adam was always
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: well they were high prospects. You know, they were high
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: school all Americans or you know, they got heard and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you know, we start.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, we've seen so many of them. None of them
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: have made it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: So where are they at corner, which is a strength
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of this team, right, Mike.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: But actually, you know, Josh Sua did nothing here to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: play special teams like a fifth corner. He's a starting corner. Okay,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: believe this or not. And this sounds ridiculous. He's a
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: big reason why Dreeq Wllenrik Wollen as it were, is
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: with the Eagles, because Josh Job came out of nowhere.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: You have to give him credit. He was their dime corner,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: then Nicol. Then he was the starting corner. But he
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: was actually a corner because when they would go to Nicol,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Witherspoon would move inside him. It's just it's hard to believe. Mike.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I actually have no problem for the Eaglesmo going from
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Josh Shuelp. But he did nothing here. He showed nothing.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: That's the thing sports, Mike. People like to get on.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: It's certain things, certain general managers when I think sometimes
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: they don't keep guys a shot. But Josh shup was
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: giving a shot here. Fansho kind of called him out.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: He he just played with enough discipline with his hands
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and he got beaten. He didn't play well here. I mean,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I don't want else to tell people, but it's right now.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: For the future, obviously, it's Mitchell Corner at left corner now.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Riekwallan's contracts up after the season. Ringo doesn't play, He's
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: not in the rotation, but he's up after the season.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: He only plays special teams. Jacquarin Bettett, Mike. He's the
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: forgotten man of this group. Mike. He's also who they
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: gave him two draft picks for. He's on the final
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: of his rookie deal. Jonathan Jones is on a one
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: year deal. Mac McWilliams is in the second year of
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: a four year deal. Dejeane doesn't he's not a corner anymore, Mike,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: he doesn't count. They are super light at corner, Mike.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: After the season, I mean, those are the really right now.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: And MacWilliams did nothing. He was mostly inactive. That's a
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: problem past the season, Mike, they just don't have much.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Mitchell's a stud. He's one of the best corners in
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: the National Football League. So after that, they've got to
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: kind of figure it out, all right.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Adam Cavill's with US Football on four.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: We're looking at the future of the Eagles defense over
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the next couple of years with what they have contracts
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: What about safety?
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: All right? So Macova is in year two of a
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: four year deal. Second, second through seven rounds get four
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: year deals. First rounders get four years with a fifth
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: year option. Although for many years until the I gotta
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: say that the eleventh CBA or I can't remember, it
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: was twenty CB at eleven, but the first round picks
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: passed from fifteen to thirty two all became four years
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: with a fifth year option, and that was that's that
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: was really important for clubs. They really wanted that. But
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: when you look at this situation, Mike gets safety, it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Macouba and it's Cooper Degene. Those are your safeties. Okay,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: past that, Michael Carter is under contract, Mike. You know
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: they redid his deal. He's here, he got a salary
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: cut down a two point five million, but he's up
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: after the season. And Cole was Newski. Now he was
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: only a seventh front pick. Mike, He's got to prove
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: himself to make the team. See they we're going to eventually.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I know Andrew did his too early fifty three men roster,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: but I did one just very loosely about a month ago.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I had a problem get under sixty players. It's tough.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: What you struggle with when you're trying to do this
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: is you see a lot of guys who have upsided
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: his backups and that that's you know, that becomes a problem.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: So it's it's really not easy to do it. But
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: at safety, and Marcus EPs, by the way, is up
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: after the season. J T. Gray will only play special team.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Andre SAMs are for safety. So really, when you look
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: at it past the season, it's de Gene. If Vic
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Fangio Mike wants to keep him there after the season,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: well we'll see. It depends on how he plays. If
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: he's comfortable at it, and he plays great, he'll be
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: safe as safety, mainly with Macouba and then lastly Mike
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: at nickel, it's gonna be We're still gonna see Degene
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: there off and on. Michael Carter can play it, Jonathan
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Jones could play it. This season. They'll be fine there.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Nichol's gonna be fine, but after the season you really
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: have Cooper jene Is. Maybe mac McWilliams not safe, but
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: he also could play nickel, so he could factor an
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Alle this season is a backup, but in future seasons.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: That will be interesting to see if how long Fangio
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: like feels like he has to move to Gene around
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: does you know what I mean? Like, does he feel
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: comfortable enough that somebody else can handle that nickel spot
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and then does have to keep using him there and just.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Sticks with him at safety. Did they feel like they
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: have enough depth at safety? It'll be very interesting to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: see where his future is after this year.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: It is, but we've said for months and now we're
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: not convinced that Fangio sees Degene as a corner. And
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: you know, as we mentioned when Degene was drafted, there
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: are a lot of teams that not think Cooper Degen
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: would be a quality starting corner. Now he's look, he's
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: showing he can play it at a solid level. He's
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: a lade as a nickel. It's it's gonna be interesting.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: As we've talked about also on our show lastly, Mike,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be tough for Coop when it comes
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: to be to extend his contract. Eagles are willing to
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: pay a buff market for an elite player, but how
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: do you pay him? Like what is he? That's you
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: have to figure out what he is going forward that
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: will determine what his salary is going to look like.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: All right, football four, Adam Kaplan here the Eagles. You
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: said it on Friday, I think five weeks to training
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: camp and that kind of that did something for me.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: It warmed my heart.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I know, because you love doing the countdown,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: but it is, you know what, it's kind of like
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: spring training when pictures and catchers report. We know it's
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: only spring training, but The difference here is Mike, training
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: camp is way more competitive than spring training. It just
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: is like OTAs, this is spring training to me, it's
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: so soft and you don't read into anything. You just
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: it's just there's a lot of experimentation that there's some
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: things that happen to g moon to safety and we're
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: looking at the Tanner mckething that that sings bizarre. But overall,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: it's all about training camp and yes, we look forward.
• 17:18
