• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Inside the Birds is back. What's going on, everybody? It's
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Jeff Mosher and Adam Kaplan at the end of the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Eagles bye week, and we are doing to do our
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: annual bye week Eagles Self Scout episode. We're gonna tell
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you what the Eagles have been thinking through this bye week,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: what they gotta work on, what they gotta do as
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it will not be long, Adam. It's just you know,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: everybody's gonna enjoy the weekend and happy Halloween to those
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: who celebrate. Right, it won't be long. Where it's the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: turn of the page. We'll have our weekend NFL football action,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and then the Eagles will be back on Monday. I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: guess for something light. You know. Nick Sirianni said they
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: were gonna do something on Monday, but then Thursday they'll
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: reconvene to practice for or against, I say, the Monday
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: night game against the Backers.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool. They get some time off board. Do
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: they need it? I mean they you have to remember
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: they want Super Bowl, so they're seasons longer than everyone
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: else is. With banquet circuit, whatever the case may be,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: getting healthy, getting guys off their feet. You know, hopefully
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: they've had a good week and the coaches always work
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: unless they're any Reid. Well no, I know Andy would
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: send the players out. The coach is just about every
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: bye week, they work usually till Thursday. Some coach will
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: keep them on Friday, but give them Saturday and Sunday off.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: But the problem is if you if you give them
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Sunday off, then the players are on a Monday. You
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: know what the coaches may feel like they have to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: come in on Sunday. Bottom line is are gonna coach
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: will get a couple of days off to recharge. But
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the players are the big thing here. They got to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: get rested, healed up the best as possible, just recharge
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and clear their mind. And here we go the gauntlet. Boy,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the schedule has been somewhat favorable to the Eagles. But
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: what I don't like and I never got the I've
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: never seen this before. We talked about this when it
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: came out in May, but this deal that they don't
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: play two home games in a row is just absurd.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Wow, it is crazy.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, because remember it's at Green Bay home
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: against the Lions, at the Cowboys Black Friday home against
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the Bears, at the Chargers home against the Raiders. Why
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: don't they just have both where the Raider game should
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: have been out West, thats where they could stay out
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: for the at West for the week.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, no, it's crazy, it is, it is,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and hey, but but look, there's no bye week for us, right.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like we've produced as much content, if not
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: more than normal during the bye week. So just to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: remind people what we have coming up, because there's no game,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: so there will not be a game preview with Greg Cosell. However,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean we're not doing a show. We are
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: doing a show with Greg Cosell. We're gonna ask him
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and the timing couldn't be more perfect to give us
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: his tape breakdown on the new Eagles audition. I almost
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: said cornerback. I'll say defensive back, Michael Carter the second.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: He's also going to get into Nikobe Dean's usage a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: little bit, since Dean's been back on defense for the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: last two games against the Vikings and the Giants, and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: we'll just we'll get his input and his tape observation
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: on that and that'll be out, I believe, on Sunday morning,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: if not Saturday. For our Patreon members. So yeah, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: then we've got our normal stuff as we've had all week,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and Greg has broken down the tape, and Ray Didtinger
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and Derek Gunn did their Birds weeklies, and obviously they're
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: not doing a game preview, but the one that drops
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: today is sort of their own analysis going into the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: by They're gonna take a look around the rest of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the NFL, the NFC East, and then also give their
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: little uh you know, their their insights really on on
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the Eagles too.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: By the way, I don't think some of the fans,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the Giant fans were not happy with Greg about what
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: he said about Jackson Dart.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of funny. I was. I saw
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: some of the comments, and I hoped Eagles fans saw that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Eagles fans who think that Greg has it out sometimes
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for Lan Hurtz saw that and said, oh, well, now
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: he just really you know, he's very honest and objective
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with his critique and just tells you what the tapes.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It's not just Jalen. I mean, he was, he was,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know, keeping in mind that Jackson Dart is a rookie,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: which Greg did say. He was just pointing out times
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that he just couldn't see where the openings were. And
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you know, he used the phrase seeing it but not
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: seeing it, meaning the bodies are all in front of you,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: but you're just stuck in the pocket and not throwing
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the ball, something I learned from Ron Jaworski. But I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was hoping that everybody took a good look at that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and realized that it's it's not just Jalen hurts that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: You know, he's just honest with everybody on what he
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: SE's on tape.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he he It was very strong. His
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: comments were critical, but it was just what the tape
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: told him. But there was it was really strong. It's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: about the strongest of comments he's ever made on our
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: shows with him about quarterback play. Yeah, that wasn't positive,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: but again it's nothing personal, right, He's been evaluating quarterback
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: tape for nearly thirty years. I've sat with him in
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Jaws and other coaches over the years. Paul Gunther's sat
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: in there by the way with us is now at
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: UNLV former Raiders events. Cord Rod Russell Gregg's talk about
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: has passed away. Rod was the one year was the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Patriots head coach. One of most brilliant minds on defense.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Just all the mines that would come in and talk football.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Matt drops either.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, actually worked for what I think, Well, I don't
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: know you worked for him like the Temple head coach,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the football coach Casey Keeler actually worked for Greg one
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: year valuing tape, but no Spags was. He asked Greg,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: if you come in because he's still he had a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: house in the area. Yep, So I actually met that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It's really weird. I met the guy who bought Spags
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: his house at some event. Look, did you know Steve Spagnol.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I'm like, why you asked, just oh, I bought his house?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Well really you did? I don't know think I was anyway.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: You know he's got money, yeah, exactly, Yeah, probably the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: mainline house. But you know, overall, look it it we're
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: at the it's I think to buy, you know. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: know Nick was asked that and it was, oh the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: perfect perfect time. Last year the buy was at four weeks, right,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: but so this one's at nine weeks. Okay, Yeah, it's good.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I honestly i'd rather who would not want to have
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: it midway point? You know? Mid I know it's to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: an eighteen week season games. Why not.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I tell you I've bet a few offensive linemen. Don't
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: mind I tell you that, right, you know, Cam Jurgens,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Landed Dickerson. They really could use a couple of days
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of rest. So that's good. We've had all that stuff. Remember,

  Speaker 1: Camedn Apothecary, top quality cannabis, great prices, and an experience
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: made for Philly fans twenty one and up. All right,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: let's start off with ourselves. Gout and by the way,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: this whole don't let me forget this Michael Carter addition
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and the discussions we've had. I had a thought when
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: we get to defense about who I think is one
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of the most important players for the Eagles coming out
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of the by Do not let me forget to mention that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: But let's start with offense. I think you know, we
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: both agree that the Eagles found something in their last
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: two games, but especially in their last game with getting
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: their outside run a little more in gear. You know,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the under center is good, A lot more under is terrible. Yeah,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the Fred Johnson thing, I think we all like it,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But to be honest with you, that's like eight or
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: nine snaps a game. It's not a be all to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: end all. And they were just as successful actually running
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: out of the shotgun against the Giants as they were
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: under center. But even when they ran from the shotgun,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Adam outside stretch plays, getting Brett to both and I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: sure you know, we'll see if Jurgons is back, but
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: either way, you use Jurgens similarly. Obviously, teams are keying
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in on their inside zone. That's what they've done for
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: years and really good mixed the outside zone or mixed
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: out of the outside runs, and it doesn't have to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: be zoned. They can pull a guard. Oh yeah, it
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: could be gap, but get that going because you get
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Barkley to the edges and you get it. It all
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: takes sometimes is one or two blocks, and you saw
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: what happened on that first carry. You can get them
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: off to the races.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's like interesting. They they had runs
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: early outside in the season, early on September. Then they
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: went away from it. For it wasn't just one or
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: two weeks to the put. We asked Greg when we're
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: when we said, hey, could you because they have Greg,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: we get Greg's tape notes for our patron level three members,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: so Jeff and I read them, and the guys who
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: work for with Greg, they chart every play. He gets
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: unique breakdowns that you're not gonna really find anywhere else.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And you just started seeing like this is what they're doing.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: They're not running the ball outside at all, right, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: it's just this is not normal, Like it's really bizarre,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Like it's abnormal for almost two months, right, and then
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden and now maybe I don't people
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: want to know what why did they start doing? And
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: it was successful? We'd said for a number of weeks,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: it's clear that Jurgens and Dickers are not right physically.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: What they clearly, Well, Jergins is out, but Brett Toath
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: played out of his mind. He played like he wasn't
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Brett Toath quite frankly, I mean, did you see, Well,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: here's the point Brett Toath before this look like a
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: guy shouldn't be out there? Am I wrong?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Right? Because to your to the point you're making, we
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: don't think that they were using It's hard for him
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to put like a down block on a big three
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five pounds three technique. But if there's
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: one attribute that he has that's good because he's played
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: all three positions on the line, is he's a better
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: athlete than power player. So if you get him out
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: on the edges or into the second level again on
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: outside runs or stretchers and things of that nature, then
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you and you saw we went through it on tape
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: with Greco. So inside the tape he decleted a safety
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: or a lie I forget what maybe was a linebacker.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Actually no, I think it was a safety against the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Giants because he was able to kick out, get a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: full head of steam and blast the guy. And that's
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the way you want to be able to use him
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: when he has to play more so than just trying
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to run duo and help double team and just get
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: up on these big defensive tackles up front. So he
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: looks like Brett Toth when you when you use him incorrectly,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he looks like a bad player. When you can use
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: him correctly, he's still in a backup and there'll probably
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: be times where you just have to live with the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: fact that he's not a great NFL player, But when
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: used correctly, to your point, at to me, looks like
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a functional backup who you can win a game or
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: two with.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Man he looked more in functional. He looked like the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: guy on your point that maybe you could start three
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: or four times and feel good about. But again it's
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: we have to be careful.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Well that's it. You don't want you can't be running
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: all outsides all the time.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Right. It worked, and also to add to that, it's
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: one game. He was phenomenal, great for Bratt and Stout.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Obviously he's developed them and and you know, help he
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: helped find I think he This is going back in
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: number of years, but I remember hearing whatever a year
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: it was in twenty nineteen that Stout out. I don't
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: know that he found him, but he knew about him
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: whatever the case, like he had a hand in it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: So it's only one game. I mean before this game,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it was kind of like, why is this
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: guy on the team. I know that players will shipley start.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Everyone sticks up for him, they love him. Smart. You
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: got to perform, and he did to the point whe're like, wow,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: he's left. He leaves you wanting more. You want to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: see more. If Jurgons can't play that coming off the buy,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I guess you feel pretty good about it. Now we'll
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: see what the trade line gives us on Tuesday. But yeah,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: moving on here, keep running those the outside game now,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: you got to keep doing it. It was it looked
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: like last year, to be honest.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: With you, it did. It absolutely did. And then that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: sort of sticking with the run game, I mean we
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: really saw something from Tank Bigsby, who's been a decent
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: running back for the Jaguars, and they finally gave him
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: an opportunity and a day when everything was going right,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, they kept they gave him the ball and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: then Saquon had the minor groin injury and he wound
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: up taking the ball a little bit more and going
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: over one hundred yards, and you know, if you're going
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to get that from Tank Bigsby, if he's even better
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of a runner than Kenneth Gainwell and has more explosion,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: then you might as well use him as a runner
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: more than you used Kenneth Gainwell as a runner. And
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying committee it at all, of course at
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barclay's show, But if you need a change of
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: pace or if you want to take some some mileage
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: off Saquon as the game's go on, but you don't
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: want to let up, it looks like if TENK Bigsby
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: can replicate that, then you got a pretty good backup
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: there that you can rely on more.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Again, they traded for him for two reasons, Bigsby kickoff
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: returns and running back. And people would say, well, why
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: would they used earlier? They had to be an opportunity. Okay,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And remember, as we told you at the time of
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the trade, AJ Dillon was on a one year deal.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: This is not just about this year. You always have
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: to look at contracts. Dylan almost certainly won't be back
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: after the season. He's already the fourth back. We'll see
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: if he's still here in a couple of weeks. You know, honestly,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: because they're gonna, as we were talking about on on
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the on one of our shows, here, they've got bg
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: have they have to make a roster spot for him,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: roster spot eventually for Nolan Smith, for Jaquoinne Bennett. So
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: someone's gonna have to go. You can't you can't keep everybody.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: So Dylan to me is they just don't need him
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: right now other than I mean, he can help on
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: kickoff returns, but right we'll shoot, you know, you gotta
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: have two guys back there. But the bottom line is
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: he just doesn't have a role right now.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Right. So here's an amazing stat also about Bigsby Adam
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: in his second game where he actually got carries for
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the Eagles. All right, he did something that Kenneth Game
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: will never do it in his Eagles career.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Hmm, how to run with more than ten yards?
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure go over one hundred yards.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, over one hundred yards. He almost want to. It's funny.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Game had a great career game with the Steelers a
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah I saw that, Yeah, yeah, but he never he
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: The most he ever had was ninety nine for the Eagles.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: So did he I didn't even know he did.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah it was in It was last year. Actually,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: remember he had a good game against the Steelers. He
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: had a couple of big runs. He also had thirty
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: five yards receiving in that game. But he only had
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: ninety nine rushing yards. So uh, I would say only
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: but he had ninety nine rushing yards two touchdowns in
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that game. But yeah, Tank, Bigsby's done it already. How
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: about that second second in his in his first real
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: game by the way, I mean second time he's actually carried.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: He he is the epitome of a changeup. What that
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: means is you're having a contrasting style to the starter, right,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: you don't want it two guys who were two forty
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that just run up the middle like you want a style.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It's different from Barkley, who's dynamic. Yes, but Bigsby is
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: a runner. Like sometimes he won't run it where the
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: block is. He just you know what, I see something
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: that you can't really teach, and he breaks it outside.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: It's called second level vision. He's got it. He can
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: make a sharp cut, he jump cut. I mean he
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: was you know, we talked about this at the time
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: of the trade. Now they they pushed him against Etn
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: last year. Was Etn's role with the Jaguars last year
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: was they cut it down. He didn't play well and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the bigsby up and after a while tanks roll. He
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: just didn't quite get there. And then they drafted the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: kid tooting this year with a new staff, and it
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: seems like every time there's a trade, it's the new
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: staff doesn't like the player, or yeah, they drafted someone
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to take the spot. So he's he was out of
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: a job pretty much, he was going to be demoted.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: He goes got him and now you see, I know
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: it looked bad for a couple of months. You're like,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: why did you trade for this guy?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: But I think if we're learning, just be patient. You
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: don't give up two draft picks for a kickoff return. No,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: that doesn't happens. They had more in mind. I think
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: we all learned a less and right.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, last thing on the run game.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: We have talked about this and almost waiting to see
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: it more. But obviously that a great game. But Cam Latu,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he's clearly a big physical body. He's doing well on
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: special teams as well. He can play this dual full
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: back tight end role. So as you continue to try
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to work your run game, it feels like Cam Latu
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: can get involved and he's got I thought in camp
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: he had decent hands. If you ever want to just
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: try to pop a past him to loosen up a defense,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: because so that you're not telling everybody you're running every
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: time he's out there, he could probably do that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know why though, that they only use
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: him as his offset fullback. Why not use him as
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: a why tight hand? I don't I don't know why
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: they're not.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Doing because they just practiced him that way when Van
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Sumer went down, and want to use him the way
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: they practice him.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Well kaal kata when they have him in line.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: He just yeah.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe they think it's a giveaway if
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: they put Latu and got her on the field, like
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: they think that, Okay, well one I'm gonna have to
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: go for pats propping, So maybe it's a tel. I
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: don't know. It's kind of weird.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I guess that's so that's okay. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: don't I think that with the Eagles, it's okay if
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you're telling them you're going to run on first down.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Because they did that last year and they were fine.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: You know, like the whole challenge is to stop it,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and last to your point, gives you so much more
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of that ability to say, dare them to stop it
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: than cal Katara.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: The only thing but that, okay, the only thing. We'll
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: move on to defense at a minute. Just add to that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: And then one more thing on Aj Brown. I just
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: don't want I struggle, like when you get to the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: playoffs having Calcultar in line, he plays the F position,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: which is more offset, but it does worry me. And
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: then the other one is I know the offense is
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: really emerging, Patula's finding his groove, but I still want
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to see Aj Brown evolved earlier in the game. The
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: bang eight is the quick slant. It's the bank, it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the quick slant. It could be play action or just
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a three step perrop from hurts like they did with
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: with the with the Titans. The quick throws and that's
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: where he gets the rack stuff because you know, the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: dB falls off because AJ's arms are so big like
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the guy, you know, he can't get him and Aj
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: could run after the catch. That's what we saw in Tennessee.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they're not doing it here. I'd
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: like to see that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: It seems like they never have and rarely rarely right
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and folding that in, Eagles really got to figure out
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a way to be better. This folds into what you're
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: saying on third down. They've been a really bad third
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: down offense this year, surprisingly bad for all the weaponry
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: they have, because they haven't been on schedule very well.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Even against the Giants, they scored a lot of points,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: but honestly, they scored a lot of points in bad
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: down in distance scenarios. We talked about that. I think
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the key for them is to stay on schedule, get
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: into no huddle, and that might mean getting the ball
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to aj Brown or Devonte Smith earlier on first down,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: second down, use the pass set up the run. Hurts
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to me is throwing the ball with more conviction this
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: year and making the more tighter windows throws than we've
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: seen him in the past. That's another thing. Greg Cosel
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: has been very praiseworthy of of Childen Hurts his play
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: this year. But yeah, so when you have that, you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: want to kind of capitalize on it because there are
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: times where you don't have that. So let them get
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that rhythm going and get that no huddle in that
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: fast offense. Yeah.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: That And also though I like the change up of
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: am under center, I like it. They did it the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Callimore did it last Year's a change up, but that's it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I think we've kind of we have a good feeling.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Although the hurts thing in the run game surprised me
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: though a little bit. It hasn't been. It hasn't been
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: what we thought we were going to get, you know. Yeah,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you think about that. Anyway.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, I still like a good night out, but I'm
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: not always in the mood to drink. And that's why
• 21:35

• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to forget to not forget my point.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: After our Michael Carter discussion that we did the podcast on,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I thought, you know, one of the most important people
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: coming out of the bye week significant is Jae Coryan
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Bennett's I don't want to say he like make or
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: breaks the secondary, but if Jacoreyan Bennett, I think you
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and I both agree, and we've said this, it's hard
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to see the Eagles getting where do they want to
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: go If they have to start a Dori Jackson or
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: or Ringo at corner, it's hard to see him winning
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They got fortunate that number two corner
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: wasn't picked on by the Giants or the Vikings. I
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: don't think that they're going to be that fortunate against
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the Packers of the Lions and some other teams they
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: have to play. So they got to figure out that
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: that corner situation. And to me, you know, they traded
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: for Bennett and for a reason, right, they thought he
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: could help fix this position. But he was hurt, so
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: he missed a lot of growth time. But if he
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: can go in at him and play at a good
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: enough level to be the starter there, and then you're
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: not worried about do I have to move to gene
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: outside and then does that do you have to put
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: somebody in the slot. I mean, I just think Bennett
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: has the opportunity to stabilize the secondary if he can
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: stay healthy and get on the field and play well.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so a couple of things. If they don't make
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: a trade for corner, a true corner. Not talking Nickel,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: We're not talking to anything else. We're talking corner. It's
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: gonna come down on your point, Bennett, when they activate
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: him off ir and whether the gene is gonna be
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: moved outside either permanently, which I don't. I can't see
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Vic doing that. But I'm gonna ask you this question.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I asked Mike gil this on Wednesday. Are you comfortable
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: with Joey Jackson or Ringo as you're starting corners on
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: your Super Bowl run? No?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I think that people may have gotten comfortable with it
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: over the last two weeks because the Eagles won their games.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: But again, it was very mysterious how neither were picked on.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: But also you're talking about an erratic Carson Wentzon and
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: even more erratic Jackson. Dog. I'm sure guys like Jordan
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Love and Jared Goff and the offenses that they have
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: in the court and the coaches are going to look
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it wasn't just it was just a couple of weeks
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: ago that those guys were being picked on. Right earlier
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in the year by by Nicks by who else did
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: they player? Stafford got Uh. I think it was with
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Dori Jackson and at that time a couple of times.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So like, I fully expect this to still be an
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: issue until it gets resolved.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: So no, I don't feel because you have to. That's
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: what how Hee's got to ask himself on my comfortable
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: as much as I drafted Ringo, but he they kind
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: of know who Ringo is at this point. He has
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: a backup corner who's being pushed because they don't have
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: anybody else.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, remember they went back to dory they and then
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: went back to a dory against Minnesota and then he
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: got a concussion. And of course it's not like Ringo.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Ringo got in there because you know, Vick was like
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he was out. So
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: it's been a carousel people.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Look the truth is with Ringo. I mean, this is
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the same guy Isaiah Rodgers was out of football for
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: a year. He beat him out two years ago. Okay,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: it wasn't even close. In fact, the companters were after
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: a week. Yep, and in this summer. For all the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Ringo truth, there's also maybe three left from the three
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: hundred that started. Now that three people still believe in
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Ringo as a starting corner, Like, folks, what is your argument?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Like again, Jackson beat him out. Okay, that was and
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: that now that was surprising that they called it. They
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: called it over very quickly. So again you have to think,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: put your general master cap on. Are you comfortable or not?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: If you're not, you can't just stam pat either try
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: to get a corner or you stay with your roster.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: On your point, Bennett, when it comes off, I r
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: but it's kind of like a tryout in season, and
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I don't like to have those things.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: It's tough. I mean, he like his his learning curve
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: into Fanjo's defense was really stunted by going on ir
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it's fault, but it's just it's really tough. But I mean,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: hopefully the mental reps work and he gets out there
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: on the practice field when they resume and he can
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: show Vic what he's got, and for their sake, you
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: hope that he's really learned and complain the defense and
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: can execute. Because remember, by the way, when they came
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: out of training camp, Killie Ringo was the fourth corner.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: You had Mitchell, you had Dorry Jackson, and you had
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Jacoreyan Bennett, who was right the number.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: One was ahead of him. He was I totally forgot
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: about that. God.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it's dicey. So if not, by the way,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: then VIC does have to think about that decision about
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: well do I need to move Cooper to Jean outside
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and then play Michael Carter the second in the slot,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: which again, that's there's a lot of questions to be
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: answered before that, but that is an option if VIC
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: wants to go there.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: One more thing, just understand, this is what if if
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Kup plays corner here. This is not a decision for
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the future. You're only You're trying to win a Super
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Bowl this year. You're not worried about next year, right,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: or or hurt feelings or whatever. It's about trying to
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl. You do what's best for your
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: football team. Of course, it's obvious the Gene is better
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: than Ringo or Jackson at corner. I mean, well, let's
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: put it this way, how could it be worse? Number
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: one too? He was a corner at Iowa. Now I
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: know you and I talked to a number of teams
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: that did question whether he could be a quality starting
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: corner long term. That was part of the reason and
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Vic talked about the other part was kind of with
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the gene. Is he a corner, is he a hybrid?
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: What is he? You know that that was another issue
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: that clubs had with him. They aren't quite sure what
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: to make of them ball. He's unbelievable nickel. He plays
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: corner on base down, but in past the situations, boy,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: you like to use his use his length unless athleticism
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: at corner. And this is a long thing here, but
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: macmcgurams never is not worked out this season unfortunately, and
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: they don't really as you said, when we'll move this
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: back to you, it's either the Jeane at corner in
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: past the situations or he's at nickel, and you have
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: the other guys you mentioned now Carter will play into
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: nickel like it at some point once he learns it,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: once he knowes Vic's system. This is a different system
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: that he's played in before you got to learn it.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: That could play into word Regene works this season. We're
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: not talking about next season.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Justice, You do what you got to do. In the moment,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid thought his only way to get to the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl and win it was moving his three time
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl left guard to left tackle. You can debate
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: it all you want, but he actually made it to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because he felt it was the best.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: He was probably right. I don't know if they would
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: have made it to the Super Bowl if they had
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: played Tuney at guard and then some slow like Kingsley
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Sue Ama tay I left, they wouldn't have made it there.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: So it didn't work right, right, it's not his fault.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: But you had to do it, though, but you had
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: You got to do it. You're trying to win and
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: that Unfortunately they got Joe Tuney Trady to the Bears, but.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: He played well for them. He's doing all right, all right,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: so up front, Uh, we've got to see what they
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: want to do. I mean, you can't just not play
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Johid Campbell. I don't think that that's in Vix. Who'll
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: played book? Right now, Vick has acknowledged it's a good
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: problem to have. He'll figure it out with him and Dean.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I would imagine you'll probably it's already started. Vic said it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Campbell is getting work in practice as a nickel edge,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: but he hasn't played yet as a nickel edge, but
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that might come depending on again, what happens at the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: trade deadline, the health of Brandon grahamdall On Smith coming back.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things. They have some options here
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: at him. It's a good thing. And they have some
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: good interior rushers who were doing all right too.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, now if they have not made it a trade
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: for an edge, you could use Ojoem on Carter's wide nines.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: They've done this before. Also, this is kind of minor
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: to close this out. Ty Robinson has flashed a little bit.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I know he's wrong and he needs a lot of work.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: But situationally, I hope that they're not worried about using
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: him in a big moment or you know, just as
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: a change up, because he's he's got high energy, good past.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: He had really good pass rush traits, but he he
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: had issues with technique coming out in Nebraska that showed
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: up on tape and to show up on training camp.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: And then Greg said Cosel said when he watched him
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: on tape in the preseason, he said he was ways
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: out based on what he saw. He said he needed
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of work. So but he's getting better. I
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: just I think he can help them Ty Robinson. They
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: could always use the help inside.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, usually you see some rookies get that
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: growth over the second half of the year, and he
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: has started to play a little bit. Be nice to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: see him flash. I agree, pretty good and we'll see
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: if Howie Roseman makes a move to add to the
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: edge group by the trade deadline. It's not bad. It
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: could use an upgrade. I like what you're saying. You
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: can use the interior guys a little bit more athletically,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I would say, because they're starting to do it more.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I like him a little bit more using those twists,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: those stunts, those line games, because these are really good
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: athletes and not just fast forward to the quarterback players.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: They can move laterally well, and that's always been I
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: like when other defenses do it. I like when the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Eagles do it. They don't do it that much, but
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: if you're still trying to rely on a four man
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: rush or maybe a sim it's always great to try
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to run a stunt in there.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. I mean, they've got their work cut
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: out for them. It's all about trying to win a
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: super Bowl. They absolutely could make another run. The roster
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: may not be as good as last year, but this
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: is a down year for overall quality of thirty two teams.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: That's the word around the league. It has been really
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: since the summer. It's kind of played out that way.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: And despite all this, they're six and two. Second bet
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: they're the number two seed right now. I know it's early,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: but they would be the number two seed right now.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: The Packers. That was an impressive win, come from behind win.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: They weren't down by a lot against the Steelers. But
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the Packers have probably the best roster in the National
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: footb League, but they don't always play up to it. They
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: have a chief in the playoffs, so I wouldn't give them.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't give them the gold star just yet. And
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: they play very very soon.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: There you go. I can't wait for that game. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: think Eagles Packer is going to be awesome. Monday night football.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a great one.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: All right. That's gonna do it for our self Scout episode.
• 33:00
