  Speaker 1: At Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. That place is
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be jumping this weekend Sunday night football Eagles and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the Lions. Adam Kaplan from the Inside of the Birch
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Podcast is here and he is set to bring us
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a Friday edition of Football at four. And of course
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the two teams one team bagged up. I mean, I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: got the injury report for the Lions in front of me.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: They was need a second page at him with all
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the guys that they got. Terry on Arnold is out,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Sam Laporta is out, Kirby Joseph is out. Those are
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: three key guys. They got a bunch of guys questionable
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: as well. So we'll start Both of these teams are
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: two different paths in terms of the injuries.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they actually have a lot more players out than that, Mike,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: so you got to look at their entire roster. So
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Christian Mahogany went on IR. He was one of their
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: starting guards from Boston College. He went on IRI last
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: week with the knee injury. You're not gonna believe this one.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You'll never believe who's starting for him. A former Eagle,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: You probably won't get it. Kyote Washika, who is who
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: was that practice squad player?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I do remember him now that you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yep, yep, he starts for him. The Porter's out, rock writers,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: their why tight end will start for him. Journyman, Ross Dwelly,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: former Niner and uh talking tight end will back him up.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Marcus Davenport. They're hopeful the off injured Marcus Davenport has
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: a chance to play. Terry On Arnold. Terry On Arnold
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: has been a disappointment. He's out with a concussion. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: you know who's going to start a little bit of
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: a local flavor here, Mike, when you look at the
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Lions here at the cornerback position, it's going to be
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: another that none other than former Temple star corner rock
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: y'all scene will start for him. And depending on whether
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a Meek Robertson who would have been there Nickel this season,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: he's playing on the outside. You got hurt yesterday's practice.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: They don't know if he's gonna be able to play
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: limited today. He'll be a game day decision if he
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: can play. Journeyman Arthur Molett will start for him. Kirby
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Joseph's out again. One of the top three or for
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: safeties in the National Football League, Thomas Harper they claimed
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: off waivers in August. He'll start again for Joseph. Mike,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: it's just remarkable how beat up this football team is now.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: On offense. The Porter is a big one, Mike. I mean,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: let's let's call it what it is, not having the port.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: He's really athletic, great scene catcher, and it's just it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a shame. Now, I'll say this, though the weather is
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: gonna be windy Sunday night, the guts throughout the game
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: are gonna be twenty five to thirty five miles an hour.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So when it's not dusty, maybe let's throw. But Mike,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: watch the win. If you're going to the Lincoln Sunday night.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Well, and you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Know, we'll talk about the Eagles side of the ball
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in just a second here, but they are really banged up.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But yet here they are six and three. They have
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: somehow persevered with all the injuries, and that is kind
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of the mentality that this team has. And we know
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that their mentality is adam. They've had this game circle.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: This is a game that they have looked at really
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: since they got knocked out by Washington last year.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the craziness is of you. Last week's game
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: for the Lions meant nothing for in terms of rivalry
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: because Washington was so beat up, having eight starters out
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: of him and it just didn't really matter. But you
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: have this game that it circled because they know the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Eagles is the defending champions and they've struggled mightily in
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Philly for many years. So yeah, this is a big game. Look,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Dan Campbell talked about it and he and by the way,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: he was someone who voted or he pushed. He made
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: sure the Lions did not vote against the push play
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Eagles push play. So he actually his interesting, His cards
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: are really interesting. He just feels like, you can't start
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: legislating everything if it's in there. If it's in there,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: leave it in there. So that's I wonder because the
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Packers actually hate to play, but the Lions might. They're
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: for it. It's interesting.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: All right, Let's look at the Eagles side of things.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Cam Jurgens is the only you know, big name that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you're kind of wondering about. The Eagles are pretty healthy
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: entering this game here.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now, Laporta, excuse me. Jurgons work today. We don't
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: know how much he did. Usually, Mike, going back like
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: four or five years, you and I usually get the
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: injury put right at four o'clock lines release there was Eagles,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: if not, the only player we were concerned about in
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: terms of starting was Cam Jurgens. Of course Brett Toath
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: would start for him. Ask Greg co Sell on our
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: show this week inside the tape, he said, it wasn't
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: noticeable like it was when he played great against the Giants.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: It said nothing bad, nothing good. It wasn't noticeable where
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: previously look when Brett Toath didn't play well, we all
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: could see we didn't need the all twenty two. So
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: that's something to watch. But I'd be slightly surprised if
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Jurgens doesn't play. But we don't know yet, so we'll
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: see what happens. But the good thing for the Eagles
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: is Mike Scryan Bennett damp till four pm Eastern tomorrow
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to put him on the roster, to actually activate him
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: for the game. In terms of making a decision, he's
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: on the roster. Matter of they'll in their final pre
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: in there. What they do with Mike tonight is they'll
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: they'll decide whether he's going to be up or not
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: for the game tomorrow. I see he's a game on
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Sunday night, but all all the roster moves have to
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: be done. He's on the roster. Any roster move has
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: got to be done by four pm Eastern, and that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: would that would include anyone who's That includes anyone who's
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: really elevated at this point. Because Darius Cooper he injured
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: his shoulder last week. He came back in the game.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Dickerson looked good, and yesterday's practice he should be good
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: to go. Lane Johnson took all as reps yesterday. Mike.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: The big one is Willy Lampkin. That's the one I
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: was I was thinking of Mike, not not Jaccrean Bennett.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: So they would have Willy lampkint is on injoy reserve.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: They would have till four pm Eastern to activate him
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: for the game. I'd be surprised if he plays this season.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: He's more of a developmental player at this point. For
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the future, They've got three years left on his contract.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. Noel Smith, Mike got through practice
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: this week, Tyler Stein told the me he's to go.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: So we're just waiting right now. On Cam Jerkins, we'll
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: see what happens. But Digos feel a lot confident, more
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: confident on Brett Tooth than they did like three or
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: four weeks ago. Let's face it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and obviously this is a big game for both
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: these teams. We talked about it earlier. Adam forty seven
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: percent if Philly wins, for them to get the number
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: one seed in the NFC. For Detroit with a win,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they would give them a twenty percent chance to be
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the number one seat here. But health certainly matters here.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But we know that Philadelphia on the defensive side of
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the ball. You mentioned Jacry and Bennett, Adri Jackson, Kaylee Ringo.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: That'll be something to kind of keep it on because
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I thought Big Fangio had an interesting little segment on
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: yesterday when he answered the question of Cooper to Gee.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: He said, well, if somebody doesn't play well.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Enough, it almost sounds like he's willing to open the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: door a little bit to move him out there.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think we'll see it. I don't think we'll
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: see it tomorrow night, Sunday night, though.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Nobody's definitely open to why they're trying to win. I mean,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and I get the question about you know, future and
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: next year. Coaches could care less about next year. They're
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: only going to talk about or think about trying to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl here, which the Eagles are certainly
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: in line to do again. They could do it, they
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: could stay healthy. And Dejene has always been that guy
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: that was in the back of Vick's mind. He'd rather
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: not do it Jaquaran and Bennett is now on the roster.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: They'll make that decision whether he players or not, or
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: dresses or not. I know the enactors coming Sunday, but
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: they have the personnel meetings usually after Friday's practice, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: they decide fully after the walkthrough tomorrow. So Bennett, Look,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Bennet's healthy, Mikey, this is three weeks now and he's
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: practice plus the bye week. Mikey, he should be able
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to play on Sunday. Why not have him active? Look,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the fact is they do not want to play Ringo.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, we all know this. It's not a secret.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: We've told people for three or She's a number four
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: corner that's proven to be correct. He's an excellent special
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: teams player, and he has value, but he's just not
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: a starting corner. They know that. They've tried it repeatedly.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: He's been beaten out every time, so he's relegated special teams.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: He had to play four snaps on defense last week
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: due to do the Quarney on Mitchell leaving briefly, by
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the way, Quiney on Mitchell is not listed on the
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: injury port which is a good thing.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, oh listen, he's a huge factor
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: back there. I wanted to get your take on. Obviously
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Aj has been a topic of conversation, but can he
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: is this just what he is this year? Are we
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: at the point where this just is what he is?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Or does him kind of saying this make them have
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to like dig a little deeper to find a way
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to get him involved.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Well, Mike, look, Kevin Pattilla, I think has done an
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: average job at best. There more experienced coordinators just talking
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to coordinators over the years when they're struggling to get
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: their number one guy the ball, it doesn't usually take
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: this long. Last year, did Aj Brown did not have
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: a down year despite what people have said, In fact,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: it was totally false. If you look at the average
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: his average per game yards yards in particular average per catch.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, everything was really good last year. You just
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: missed I think four games to due to injury. They
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: knee injury. This year has been crazy. I just I'm stunned,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: like everyone else to me, and more experienced coordinator would
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: get him the ball much earlier and more consistently. That's,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: by the way, it's let's call it like it is.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: This is Nick Sirianni's scheme. Kevin Mattulo has been coaching
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Getna now this is his fifth year. He should be
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: able to get him the football like that. This is
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: This is on Siriani, it's on Batulo that this is
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: not acceptable. And I can't imagine Jeffrey Lourie when he
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: looks at how much they're paying A J. Brown, well
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: over thirty million dollars in cash. I can't imagine he's
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: very happy about it. So this has got to be corrected.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: And this is I know that there's gonna be when
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the conditions might not allow it, but if there are
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: times when it's not windy Michael on Sunday night, get
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the guy the football like this is. The matchups are
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: so good. For the Eagles Sunday night against the Corners.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: They didn't do it last week, and we talked about
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: it in our pregame show, which by the way, will
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: be available to Patreon members. We're gonna We're gonna put
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the pregame show up tonight myself, Jeff and Greg Cosel
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: tomorrow morning. The whole country can get it. But I'm
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: telling you, this is a great matchup for the Eagles
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: if if the conditions allow it, You've got to go
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: after this.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Corner, all right before we rock and roll here, Adam
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: kappit on a uh uh Friday edition of Football at
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: four the Eagles secondary if a Dory's playing or ringoes
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: out there for whatever reason against Saint Brown, Jamison Williams,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I know then all the porter that doesn't but that
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: worry you more for the Gibbs Montgomery duo and the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: run game up against the Eagles, you know, rush defense.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll break some news in here. Cam Jurgens
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: has been cleared. So that's great, Mike, good stuff you have.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Cam Jurgens took to Gall's reps today. Let me see,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: let me just double check here. I'm trying to go.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to go through this as we speak, Mike Yep,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Jurgens is not having a game status designation. He took
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: all the reps today. He will start unless something happens
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: in pregame. Of course, I know he's won a brace
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: and practice. Willie Lampkin, by the way, with his knee
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: and ankle as questionable. He's the only player that has
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: a game status designation. So what was your question again?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: What was So you've got the secondary you know, let's
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: say a Dori or Kayley or whoever against or Jegryan
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: against against Ama Ross Brown and Jamison Williams.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Does that match up worry you more?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Or the run game Gibbs and Montgomery up against the Eagles.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Well, they'll have a plan. I mean one thing you
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: don't really you don't. We haven't really talked about us much,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: but you'll see this. So Fando has done this, a
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: coach that knows. Jeff and I told us this that
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Vic will when he thinks there's explosive running back within
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: five yards, they'll give the guy a shove when he's
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: coming out of the backfield. Like, look for them to
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: get physical if they can. With with Gibbs, he goes
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: have the linebackers to do that. Montgomery's not explosive. Well,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Gibbs is the guy you got to worry about in
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: the past game. You got to slow them up a
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Now, did you know that they were called Sonic and Knuckles?
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, and you know that Montgomery is
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: the power guy and you know it's Willis.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I did not know that. I was not a way
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: that was their.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Nickname, you know, talking to lines about Gibbs. Here's something
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: that's surprised them when they drafted him. They didn't really realize,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: like they knew how to explosive was. They had no
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: idea how big physically he was. Like, he's really developed.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: He's just a phenomenal football player. And then Jamison Williams
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: isn't just funny. We talked about this earlier in the
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: week with you. Mike dan Kevil takes over the plays
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, John Morton whouldn't get him the football.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Williams goes off and that would worry me. Yeah. Look,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: there's Deruyt Jackson has been just average at best. But
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Jamison Williams is alway called big six to one. He
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: looks like he's six to three, but he's listed one.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: He could fly. I'm on Ross Saint Brown. They move
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: him everywhere, but they're not going to have Laporter. Mike
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: not having to worry about Laporter is a big deal.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Well, the injury report, as you just mentioned, yes, it
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: just dropped. The only designation is a questionable one for Lampkin.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Everybody else is a full participant for Philadelphia, and that
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: is big news because it is a walking mash unit
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: over at Detroit right now?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Are you more.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Interested in Philadelphia seventy six Ers versus Detroit Pistons with
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles versus Detroit Lions.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Well, i'bby, I'm glued because I'm a six Ers stand
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: and die. There's so many injuries today for both teams.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Doran's injury. He's a really underrated player, and I was
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a Ky Cunningham. And then of course what we am
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: be shocker and of course, well Poldridge ever played for
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: the six or that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Whole story is there. But I'll tell you what.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow, I am calling the Blue Coats game six o'clock
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: on ROKU. Jared McCain will be playing down there, so
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I'll get a chance his game tomorrow night.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: That's right, Mike, I look forward to it. Get is
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: it on radio or just on Roku?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Just on the Roku channel.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: From my understanding, I'm pretty sure last night's game was
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: ESPN Plus.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I think Saturday is Roku network and they don't.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Put it on YouTube.
