• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit yesterday and we'll see where he's at today.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You would consider B TJ game time? Yes, Yes, What
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: sort of environment is the link up there in Philly
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: for the away team? Tossile man, it's really a great environment, really,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: especially the later games. You know, Uh, those fans will
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: get out there and and honestly, they'll they'll tailgate all
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: day and and uh and get ready. You know, it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: just what they do. And they're gonna they're gonna pack
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: pack the link and and and be loud. It's really
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a great atmosphere, you know. And for them right now
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: with the success they're having, it's it should be a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: great crowd, and and they'll be. They'll be jazzed up
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: for a team that's kind of looking for that spark?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Can that be a good thing? Can that be something?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of you against the world kind
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of that I mean, yeah, I mean that's you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that's that's gotta be your mentality a little bit and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: going into these games, and honestly, situations like that too
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: can kind of just relax, you you know, and and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: maybe and hopefully eat some eat some tension or some
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: stress that's going on and just allow you to go play.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So you guys a pretty good reception there, I guess
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Do you think that changes this
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: year or they got to hundred percent? Yeah, I wouldn't
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: expect anything different. No, I'd tell you it's it's a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: great fan base, very passionate about the Eagles. So would
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the expectation Ezer can't go Cooper would be yes or order?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: What's your confidence in him? Or what did you see
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: from him last week? I thought he settled into the game.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You know, didn't get a ton of reps obviously last week.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: But this week, you know, in in that in that spot,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: getting getting more of the work, you see some some calmness.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Got his work cut out for him obviously with these
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: with these d tackles that they have and and uh,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: but you know he's up for the challenge, he's looking
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: forward to it, and expect him to play well. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: if Brandon couldn't go, who would then slide in at
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the right guard position of Cooper's already at left guard. Well,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we got Blake, you know, Blake Cant's uh could slide
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: in there easily. I know they have a couple of guys,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but Jalen Carters, it just seemed like he's putting it
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: all together right now. It's playing good, playing good. You know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he's big, powerful, comes off the ball. Well. I mean,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that's you can see why they drafted him obviously, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: but playing playing extremely well, playing physical. They've got a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: lot of guys up front getting pressure and sacks. Does
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that make it more of a challenge to prepare for
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: when there's a wide variety of different types of rushers. Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Usually usually it's you know, the edge guys or one
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: guy maybe two. You know, in this case, they've got
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a number of guys you know, to your point that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: can they can get after the passer, you know, And
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and it's a it's a great challenge for our offensive line,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you know. And and but each week, each week is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that way, that's the NFL. Each week you're gonna go
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: against good, good pass rushers, and and you know, it's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just a matter of just you know, working your technique,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: trust in great communication obviously, and and just being physical.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: What have you seen from healing through whose has kind
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of gotten reacclimated. Yeah, I mean it's good to getting
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: back out there running around, look at you know, more
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: on the to look teams, you know. And and he's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: done some good things, special teams, stuff like that. It's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: good to open his window and get him, get him back.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: So still got a couple of weeks and and see
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: see how it goes, see how progresses. M hm.
