wow [Music] what is going on everybody thank you for tuning in to another edition of on the road to Victory I am your host Jimmy Smith and I hope you're all having yourselves a great night it's hump day so we're Midway through the weekend getting ready for Eagles football tomorrow one thing about preseason I do enjoy football all the time so we're going to talk about that game coming up tomorrow we're going to talk about the roster who I have is locks who's on the bubble some things have changed if you've been following along we'll be talking about all that then looking at the top 15 position battles in tomorrow's game so going to be exciting a lot of battles here uh starting positions backup positions all kinds of crazy stuff going on so appreciate you tuning in here whether you're watching this live watching this later I would love to hear your thoughts on this let's go Birds my man Justin appreciate you taking the time hope you're having a great night great week ready for this game tomorrow final preseason game eight days away from the cut down period excitement in the air ladies and gentlemen so let's get this started off we're going to run through the roster then I'll show you it all as a depth chart but we'll go position by position here anyone in green you see those are my locks now guys on the bubble you see here uh McKee and book now book is not making this team the question we will talk about later on uh why Tanner McKee is on the bubble here but um you know four guys at the court of acquisition three really uh battling it out well two battling um we know one guy uh is qb1 now the running back position I have Scott as a lock we're talking about Trey sermon maybe being a fifth guy but not sure he has shown enough maybe he goes out does something maybe he forces their hand and Scott doesn't make this team but that's how I see it right now wide receivers you know I've talked about this maybe you don't even keep a fifth wide receiver you could always just stash cover on IR until he's healthy but you could put any of these guys on the practice squad and if you wanted to elevate them they could help you in the return game as a receiver but if you have those top four guys I feel pretty comfortable there now at tight end I think we're going to go with the you know same three we had last year stole the blocking tight end calcaterra the receiving Titan Dan Arnold hasn't shown enough Tyree Jackson I just don't know that he has enough that he's winning this job over calcaterra but hey maybe they changed my mind here but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna lock in these three here so uh you know I gave opportunity there I was watching uh but I'm just not so sure any of those guys on the bottom are going to show enough to be on this active roster then the offensive line we had a little change here today Fred Johnson was actually let go so you've got tackles here but we talk about how versatile this offensive line is so don't worry we'll be looking at 10 more guys here in a second but you know your tackles are set your backup Jack Driscoll he can play tackle guard love his versatility he's going to be a part of this team Dennis Kelly Brett Toth Roderick Johnson all going to be trying to prove that they can provide you something you don't have even though Driscoll can play both tackle spots and then going to the interior offensive lineman Josh sales was a versatile guy that he can play both Tyler Steen he can play both you've got Jurgens who can play center and guard so you don't necessarily have to keep you know more than eight offensive lineman maybe nine but you see I have eight locked in there maybe Kelly makes it I'm not so sure about any of these other guys but uh you know practice squad is definitely a place you could be anything were to happen you could be elevated so you see the offense there those are my locks and who's on the bubble and look a lot of good competition there and uh don't worry I've got this all listed here the top 15 coming up so we'll get to that um but let me check out these comments here real quickly over here but I appreciate all of you let me hear your thoughts on the offense whatever's going on in your mind we'll talk about the defense and special teams here shortly all is going well hope all is well for you my man Justin Twisted we've got Trevor and we've got e-money let's F and go appreciate you all taking the time here hope you're having a good one I'm ready for some math and football I'm ready for real football to begin in 18 days I was at the link on Monday doing my fantasy draft and it's so weird when it's just like so dead in there I actually took a picture I'm gonna post it uh but it's just me in um the bathroom like there's no one else in there and that anybody's been to a game that's just not normal man I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone so uh it was pretty crazy but um I'm ready to be back I'm ready for the place to be rocking and rolling I mean it was for the open practice but I'm ready for an after game my man Daniel joining us let's F and go appreciate you my dude hope you're doing well just went through the offense there taking a look at the guys I have as locks and who's on the bubble now let's get into this defense here and it's loaded so interior defensive line you've got 11 guys but five of them are locks to me I think of Jomo you have to keep them and two below two in street I'm being honest with you I think we could keep both of them I think you could keep seven interior defensive linemen the way that we use this multiple scheme D I really like to below to his future if he can stay healthy Street was a great free agent addition so for me oh man I'd love to see that now these other guys the three at the bottom that were just added this week they're going to be competing see if they can get it spot on this practice squad maybe another team will see what they do this preseason but we talked about this the reason we're signing all these people doing these things is you already know what you have here so say they do do want to keep two below two Street Anna Jomo as the depth of those top four guys look you can then you know look at these other guys the whole game you know Wilson sagapulo Cooper Sanders because why would you want to hurt the other guys maybe they'll play a few you know reps here but you gotta you know think about those kind of things a lot of people like oh you know Caleb Sanders is starting over Cox now and reg you know Freddie Swain's starting to records walking it's like dip all right it's the off-season and I cannot wait for the regular season now the edge rushers this is another loaded position here stacked and we talked about this Derek Barnett I know a lot of people feel a certain way but you know the money it just doesn't make sense to get rid of them we just restructured him as the fifth Edge rusher that's pretty good I know he didn't live up to the first round height but regardless that's a pretty good guy to have as your fifth Edge rusher there but Robinson Patrick and Kyron Johnson Tron Jackson all battling it out for those final spot maybe one spot maybe two spots maybe not any so we'll find out but uh oh it's gonna be fun this uh this roster is up and loaded here then at linebacker got uh you know miles Jackson get rid of him he actually retired we bring in two more hey Quentin Bell and Tyrique Maddox Williams here we talked about them the other day if you missed any of these videos I have videos on all of these new players all the things that happen go check those out but you can see I've got four guys and I don't think we keep any beyond that so you know Dean Ellis Morrow Cunningham I like that room and uh you get van Sumer in on the practice squad maybe one of these other guys we'll see what they bring to the table but again you know you don't want to be hurting the guys that you have here for the season so you're bringing in guys to get the preseason done here now on to the secondary you have cornerback here and look man I'm telling you this defense is loaded man and you know it's unfortunate we lost Zach McPherson he was going to be the backup to Avante Maddox but still got job and Ringo who I think are locks to make this roster who is the six do we keep six do we keep seven and uh look Garner Ricks have all shown out but so is good Rich you see Josiah Scott not so sure about him sorry about that my dog just uh he just doesn't he wants to talk about birds too so I can't blame him but uh gonna be great competition there then at safety you've got three guys battling it out I think four you know two spots Reed's already one starter so really you've got Edmonds Brown and then you've got Evans and Wallace who I think are fighting for that veteran fourth spot there so we'll see how that goes but we'll talk about that here shortly but you see how loaded it is then it's special teams so they finally listened they bring in competition but before the last game even happens now I'll be to be fair you know xender looks like complete garbage in that preseason game so that's why they let him go but instead of adding another bunner for this last game maybe some more competition here they go ahead and uh sign Freddie Swain and yeah it is what it is maybe you know Fred Johnson's going we do have an open roster spot maybe they add another punter to go compete but for now I'm gonna lock him in because they seem to love them and we know that you know holding the ball for Jake Elliott is important so they have that down together let's just hope for the best let's hope he stays healthy and he was improving in the regular season obviously he came back from injury shanked in the Super Bowl and we all want to you know cry ourselves to sleep but uh it is what it is ladies and gentlemen now on to uh some more special teams here but a mix of guys here you know return specialist is something up in the air you know Britain cubby been banged up Boston Scott you know you haven't seen him I think he's got a job locked up but are we really are we going with him because Turner I don't mind him there but I think a guy like Rashad Penny would be explosive I think he'd use a llama days punt returners so a lot to go you know with here and they've used guys like Trace Herman Justin Evans we saw McPherson was back there Freddie Swain we talked about earlier today he has return capability they finally gave Devin Allen a shot this all season but not much so look uh I don't know what your help they want to go here but that's something we are definitely going to talk about now let me show you all that you just saw and put it here in the step chart and you'll see anyone in green is new to the roster this season but man um a lot of depth here battling it out and this offense you know going to be dominant again didn't really change much you added pieces where you needed to I'm excited about it this running back room is even better uh you had an olamide to the wide receiver room I'm pretty pumped up sure you lost say Malu love him but cam Jurgens going to step in do great if he doesn't steam Ken I I'm ecstatic there so offense great to me then the defense look 12 starters I have listed here so you can see the five-man fronts and you can see with the four band fronts with the nickel corner back in so you see how nasty this defense can be just imagine when sweat Carter Davis Williams and Reddick are on the field at the same time heating souls and you can you know rotate anybody you want in there Fletcher Cox Brandon Graham Nolan Smith so yes having depth is a great thing and we have a lot of it linebacker I understand there are you know a lot of questions there we'll talk about those shortly love the secondary even the safeties even though it's questionable with young players I'm very excited about it now the Special Teams again sippos why why do we not okay all right all right um and then returner we just talked about but here you can see it in depth chart form and I'm gonna add this to all of the teams you know that each week we talk about not only our you know uh depth chart but we talk about the opposing team so you can see here that I just threw this together really fast um those are the guys on the IR and um you know it's unfortunate for them but if you if it's gonna happen happen now and figure out your roster beyond that and luckily you know it's just depth pieces but we're wishing them all the best and uh oh let's just stay healthy for this last game but that's why you're signing all these players to you know hopefully avoid injury and if anything happens you know it's not to anybody of too much importance and you know in this game maybe you see your starters for you know a drive or something just to you know get their feet wet knock off the rust and Game Time situations you know whatever it may be um so we might see a little bit but it's going to be a lot of backups here and this year is different you know what I mean you've got one cut down period so these guys need that time they're getting it love it uh what's up my man Lil appreciate you tuning in and uh no thank you no pedophiles for me on this team loving what this team has here so bringing a veteran that's where my mind would be but let's get into this top 15 in position battles here and uh look we've been going through this each week talking about what's changing what's going down what's you know the game scenario here so let's get into it let me explain myself but we'll start with number 15. and look in important important position here but rb1 that to me though I don't care I will say it a million times I think all three of these guys are going to play their role and they're going to play it well and this is going to be one committee that I look forward to watching dominate so very ecstatic but you know I keep seeing all the stuff about Penny why is he playing hey you got to make sure he's healthy you got to see what he's got make the competition open with sermon so I get it but for me you know rb1 is Swift slash gamewell and Penny's going to come in on short yardage and I would use him as a kick returner can't stress it enough seven kick return touchdowns at San Diego State so just saying uh but I don't think you're gonna see too much of it and I don't think you're going to get much of an answer so I don't have it too high on my list here because well I don't care what they do there I feel confident about what they're going to choose to do with that room same for number 14 here and I love what olamide said at one point you know we're not competing against each other we're competing with each other you know they're helping each other out and I think they're both going to be a big part of this offense and they both bring something different so three a three B we got one a1b let's go baby so I think that you know we talk about olamide being versatile playing inside outside of a Turner I love that and Watkins tries to do the same um but I think olamide you know two different players Watkins truly is just a Speedster and he's got to work on some things hopefully he's done that dissolved season in olamide a polished receiver you know kind of reminds you of that Avant Dependable kind of guy and a short little guy but love this dude and I'm excited about both of them not so sure though because Watkins dealing with an injury you got to see a little bit of a llama day so maybe we'll see both of them in return you know at least in that capacity but we'll find out either way I think they're both going to be a big part now number 13 this used to be one of the top battles to look for but we'll be real with you it looks like game Jurgens has taken this jab and Sirianni said it the other day without pretty much saying it and you know he could take as much time as he wants but it's going to be telling tomorrow so we're going to look who they like if they bring out the starting offensive line then you see Jurgens there you'll know but you know I want to see Steen working with those ones as well maybe they'll give him you know a drive or they give you know Jurgens a drive as well but I I doubt our starters see more than that so if one drive so I don't know man but I think it'll be telling here and that's why I have it so low because I do believe it's Jergens but still looking forward to see Steen you know throw his hat into the ring there and you know try to show that he is the future and I think we all know that he is but well not everyone but I think that you know Jurgens being more Pro ready that's perfectly fine especially with you know steam playing predominantly a tackle but he can play guard so just gonna take a little bit of time you don't need to throw him into the fire here Jurgen struggles that's fine or something happens you know he needs to play center then steam kick in but yeah um excited either way and uh we talk about this Kelsey and Lane Johnson are on either side of you so let's go and now at number 12 here oh line death um you know this one I think that we talk about the guys that are already locked for me this right here is who's going to be that ninth maybe 10th and so I don't have Driscoll I don't have sills in here um I don't have uh steam you know like they're backups but I think they're fighting for a job so this right here in itself are going to be the guys that you see the most tomorrow so Dennis Kelly getting a big you know shot here Roderick Johnson so probably be Kelly and Roderick as your tackles maybe they'll switch them back and forth left to right we'll see what they do but you've got Toth you can play tackle guard center Robinson and opetta good Jones all guards can play well Robinson can play a little tackle as well opetta pretty much a guard good Jones guard Center you can play a little tackle he's got some versatility there used to be on the team he came back now um you've got Andrews here play center and guard and then Cameron Tom at the placement center maybe a little bit of guard but um yeah but this is who you're going to see tomorrow but uh not the most exciting here but I really don't think that you need to keep you know more than nine so maybe one of these guys will be the ninth guy other than the eight talked about so Dennis Kelly maybe could be that guy if I had a pick so uh we'll find out you know having that veteran presence I wouldn't be against it now number 11 here wide receiver depth you know Tyree Cleveland unfortunately getting banged up going on the IR now I think that you know we still have that same situation though where I think the top four we're good with and if these guys can go to the practice squad whatever you know two three that you want cool and if you want to elevate them awesome you want to bring them up to the active roster awesome but I don't know that you have to keep any I I like NADA you've heard me say that since the moment we've drafted him Freddie Swain you know he brings versatility to play inside outside punt returner kick returner that's awesome dude nobody else does that so you love that but these guys can go with a practice squad you can always Elevate them they don't have to be on this roster so what we're looking for is can somebody go out here and show that they deserve to be on this roster again if Covey doesn't play I think he just gets stashed on the IR until he's ready Kane you know maybe he gets a big return maybe NADA gets put back there Swain will probably be put back there at least a pleasant returner so we'll find out but let's talk about wide receiver here you know these guys are all going to get their shot uh look uh mostly the back end guys because you've probably not seeing cubby we got to see a lot of Alan last week you'll see some Dion King Greg Ward King nada Wayne that'll all be out there so let's hope the quarterback can get them the ball but some good battles there in those first five but you know a lot of that was the starters and we'll get the questions answered that we just that's there you know probably right at the start of the game or we'll have to wait another 18 days which is perfectly fine I don't need them to you know give me The Starters whatever we will talk about all that stuff so uh we'll see here but uh uh he was proved innocent uh yeah for that one thing but not for him sleeping with like a 16 year old kid so uh no thanks but uh go birds and happy hump day to you Liz appreciate you tuning in we're going through talking about these top 15 match-ups so I really really appreciate you tuning in you want to talk some bird let's do it so uh let's Evan go my man Keith not Keith up in here appreciate you tuning in yo Sydney Brown that's my dude and uh yeah if you caught those shows Johnny before the draft there was a reason I wanted him so badly and oh boy we got him so I'm pretty thrilled with Sydney Brown and uh I think you all know how I feel about him so uh yeah man quite excited about that safety pair and glad to see others getting on that ship because whew uh dude I'm telling you it's so funny to sit here like they're talking about Jonathan Taylor today and you guys remember last month when we were talking about that and it's like it's so weird having to wait for the media to figure out what's going on and it's like like oh yeah yeah but you know we know Donnie we know that these safeties are about to whoop some ass so it's it's hilarious but they're they're jumping on now dude it's a something truly truly special that I cannot wait to watch now we're going to jump into this tap at 10. you guys have any thoughts questions on it let's get into it so you've got tight end two three and death all in one here so we talked about this in my opinion you know stole and calcaterra are going to be those guys again but it's wide open here man um but it will be telling tomorrow so here's what we're gonna watch for if stolen calcaterra aren't playing or they only see a couple snaps with the starters and you know that they're good to go so if you're seeing somebody out there playing that means they're fighting for a job so you see you know Dan Arnold Tyree Jackson Brady Russell the more blocking guy so really it's Brady Russell versus stole and then it's calcaterra versus Arnold versus Jackson those three are receiving Tech guys so competition is here but um I just haven't seen anything so we'll see in this game if somebody wants to step it up now number nine we talked about this you know Boston Scott to me I think is you know because of the versatility he brings and they had sermon back there kick returner he didn't do so great but you know I think for me I'm not sure he makes it but he's gonna get his opportunity and Brooks has been given big opportunities in both games too so they're all going to get their shot this is what you're watching tomorrow running back is Scott even going to play if they again don't really play him then you know that he is locked in if Sherman's out there playing the whole damn game and Brooks you're gonna know that they might not make this team but if sermon does really well then hey maybe he does I mean only time will tell but uh at number eight this defense man we talk about how stacked it is Edge rusher one of our deepest positions are we keeping six or five or seven or how many are you keeping and to me Barnett's a lock but I'll keep him here for you yeah but you got Robinson Patrick and Karen Johnson and then Terron Jackson there and you know those five guys all battling for one two maybe three positions here but you've got a lot of talent man I think you know Barnett and then Tyron and Patrick Johnson are guys I really would love to keep Terron Jackson who was on the practice squad last year really really love his game would hate to see someone snag him but I think he's practiced Squad bound if he doesn't make the practice spot it'll probably be Daenerys Robinson on that Squad but Kyron Johnson that versatility we talk about being able to play Edge rusher off ball stack linebacker we love that so I like him Patrick's been banged up but he came back to practice this week so hoping the best for him let's go now at number seven we're staying on the defensive line here the interior guys and we talked about it you know I think those first five are locked in I'm not going to talk about the four-man rotation clearly Jordan Davis Jalen Carter Fletcher Cox Milton Williams they're gonna Feast I think Moro Jomo to me uh he's locked in and you're not going to see him because well he has a concussion so these are the six you're going to see and it's going to be telling again that if you see two below two in Street not playing much they've probably made the team if you see Street playing a lot he's fighting for a job too I think they're all going to play though because you've added competition and you want somebody to stand out and prove that they're that guy now tupelo2 has been doing that did it last year before he got hurt contavious Street got starting experience I like his game so maybe he steps it up I'm not real sure but it's going to be exciting to watch that tomorrow now at number six we had mentioned this a couple times but you know I'm not just going to say return specialist I mean because there's really nobody that does both other than the guy we just added today you know Freddie Swain so uh I mean some guys have dabbled but you see here man we need to figure out who the kick returner and punt returner are we just keep throwing back dudes that I just don't see being those guys the sermon Evans McPherson was back there like all right I guess you want to figure it out but uh that's yeah again maybe they're pulling a you know a fast one on the NFL you know their opposing teams they're not showing what they've got here and maybe they're going to have Rashad Penny as kick returner and olamide zacchaeus's punt returner I would truly love that but I really don't know so we're gonna watch tomorrow see who the hell is back there kick returner who they've got back there at punt returner but a lot of crazy positions here to you know I mean this whole damn roster is so full I've enjoyed this every damn show we've been talking about this so we'll see man uh Johnny King looks like nicobi Dean I can barely see what you know anybody looks like these Graphics are so F and small from up here but uh that's what you're seeing I'll take you on your word for it but uh I mean look um it's so slow I really can't see that so uh if I had it back up here maybe I'd see a little better but yeah so let's get into this top five if you guys have any thoughts whether you're watching this later watching right now let me hear them but uh we're getting into the top five here and we got some good ones now this is not a starting job here but because of that injury to Zach McPherson this makes things way more interesting because it was already interesting we talked about you know I thought we were keeping six with you know McPherson job and Ringo as those three backups to our clear you know starters that are the best Trio in the league but you see here you know now these four have to compete for maybe one maybe two jobs so if we keep six who's it going to be and I think you know if you had to pick one clearly Mario Goodrich is leading the way but you know who do you like the versatility of more who can help you know at safety and Goodrich can do that Garner can do that Rick's can do that and Scott can do that so all four versatile pieces and I really love that there's some competition there now Rick's not so much wanting to play him at the nickel so I don't know that you know maybe he's he and Scott are the odd men out I really think it's between Goodrich and Garner here but uh hey we're gonna find out see what these guys look like tomorrow but excited to watch this battle for sure I had to put it in the top five very pumped up these young men look good and if they're learning under slay Bradberry and Maddox that makes me feel really good with job and Ringo outside whoever wants to be the inside guy in the future you're open the other guys make it to the practice squad now number four uh this used to be a top three uh I wanted to keep it in the top five but what are we doing here so uh yeah and we got Aaron simpos versus well himself so you're the only punter out there dude I want to see how you now don't have competition you've been handed it now maybe that's a vote of confidence given that to him before the season okay maybe I understand that but also let's not get ahead of ourselves let's see if he gets complacent here if he has mistakes in a preseason game I'm gonna be pretty pissed off because we got the same damn Snapper same damn kicker there ain't no excuses out here so I want to see what he does tomorrow and uh if we need to truly Panic or you know last year he was doing well before the injury yes in Super Bowl I wanted to punch myself in the sack and look you know simpos it drove me in saying that we didn't have any competition for him so I'm with you guys I am we brought it in though and well he was garbage so I really don't know but you need to look for some kind of Veteran help somebody out there maybe an undrafted free agent bring in some competition here but they're not doing them for the game so that has to tell you that to me you know they are comfortable with Aaron sippos you know clearly he's the holder for Elliot and they have a connection there so I guess we're going with Aaron Zippos it is what it is ladies and gentlemen but uh yeah oh man um I'm trying to feel positive and Trust in what the Eagles are doing here I really am just trying to stay positive here because oh boy ah man because we're obviously remembering the last thing to happen I try not to be like that but uh who who but uh interesting graphic no doubt and uh yeah I I don't think anybody thinks he's making it there but uh yeah it's truly him versus him man he's got to go out there and he's got to get his [ __ ] together that's what it's all about man but uh it's fecals oh we're talking Jeff effin feagles here I mean at this point oh why not tonight I flew I don't know I don't I'm clicking on these things and it's not going to them I don't know what's happening but uh hilarious hilarious it doesn't foreign yeah exactly so that's what I'm talking about man it's him versus himself out here so let's see what he's got now jumping in the top three the you know first two they've kind of jumped but they're still in the they've been in the top three of the entire camp but this one this moved up here and because it's an intriguing topic to talk about now hear me out hopefully you're not just clicking through and saying stuff because this one there is no competition Ian book is not making this squad your question has to be are we going to keep three quarterbacks now because of the 40 whiners they made that rule where you can now dress a third quarterback from the practice squad on game day so you don't need to keep a third quarterback but is McKee good enough to be that third quarterback are you willing to wave both these guys hope that they you know don't get claimed by someone and if McKee does then Ian book is your practice squad quarterback do you feel comfortable enough with him as your practice squad guy now do you feel comfortable enough putting him on the waivers so maybe he just makes this roster but do you keep a third quarterback when you really don't have to is he that good I'm not sure now Marcus Mariota has struggled mightily eighth system in nine years and he's showing it now I still think he makes his roster uh because he's the veteran guy that you know fits what we're doing here but you know McKee is a bright future I'm just not sure that if anything were to happen you know you're putting the hand in the teams of Tanner McKee but again I know I don't really feel comfortable with Marcus Mariota exactly but I think you know he might do a lot better with the starters than he has done with the backups and once he's got this system under his belt a little bit more I think that you know things will go a little bit differently so for me I think Mariota is you know your second guy and you know is there a third on this roster so that's going to be very intriguing to watch tomorrow does McKee go out have another great game this book go out does he not play at all do we just let Tanner keep playing this whole laughing game do we use Tanner McKee as trade mate does he do that good and we grab ourselves a pick and then just get dick MC Huff skin from you know Clemson University I don't really know State A M I don't know because the Eagles do that kind I grab every year where they claim someone that was waived whatever that they'd like from you know whatever Weird School some guy from the usfl that used to box seven years ago I don't know what they're going to do but I'm sure things will change and tomorrow is going to help us see how that will change now that number two this used to be number one for it was holding the belt since pre-training camp and I have now moved it because well there's excitement in the air for number one but you know Ellis Morrow Cunningham van sumerin and now Belle and Maddox Williams have been added you've got some competition man for not only you know death but the starting spot next to the Kobe Dean so who the hell wants to be that second guy and you know again just like every other position we're going to see how much does Ellis and Morrow play how much does Cunningham play who is going to be a little bit telling as to who the starter is and we're going to try to figure it out but again I think those top three are the guys that stay with Dean and the other three you know practice Squad hopeful some hopeful that you know van sumron sticks around with that athleticism man really love to see him grow into a linebacker but we'll see um but I love this competition and I'm really looking forward to how these linebackers do tomorrow and who gets that time now at number one last but definitely not least safety two and the death behind it so look I you guys know pre-draft I wanted Sydney Brown I told you he is the safety of the future he reminds me of Doc you guys know how ecstatic I was about him well he's here we got him get excited pairing him with Reed Blankenship is my hope for the future but I don't know if that is week one which is perfectly fine I've said it I don't care if he's not starting week one it look he needs some coaching up I talked about his missed tackles I talked about all that stuff before the draft I think this kid is uh phenomenal with the right coaching you're going to unleash something special and I think he found that right spot here so again maybe he shows out again in this preseason game and having a great Camp great games so if he does maybe he goes out takes that job I would be thrilled but you've got Edmonds Wallace Evans and the young guy McCollum here all fighting for that third and fourth job so really you know Reed blankenship's the only one not listed here you got him and then three of these guys will make the squad in my opinion I think you're only keeping four so Brown and Edmonds to me they're locked in uh it's between Wallace and Evans and as that fourth guy so looking forward to all of these battles within this one uh tomorrow but there it is ladies and gentlemen those were your top 15 battles but if any of you have any thoughts any you know who you think's winning a job whether that be a starter whether that be depth whether there's something else you think that's going on would love to hear whatever is on your mind but that's all I've got for you this evening if you got anything from it do me a favor hit that like button down below uh well yeah you never know man um but uh you know one of the things I don't know necessarily if he needs to stay but this is kind of like Reed cinet last year whenever he was telling me he has to be you gotta give to God and uh even my source is trying to tell me that you guys remember and I was just like I refuse to believe that and I'm not going to and you know with this new rule in place that's where my heart's at but if this kid's playing so well that you want to keep them around or you can get some kind of trade big for them I think you got to do that so he's going to make it definitely intriguing but the question is still up in the air if he makes it or not he hasn't gone out and played like Tom Brady in the preseason or anything where he has to be here so uh we'll see but uh I think you know if he goes on waivers he definitely there's a shot someone steals him Kevon been playing well got to keep him well so is Justin Evans so that's the great competition here and that's what I love about it man that's what we've talked about Kayvon did great at the end of last year has done great in Camp definitely had his struggles uh but Justin Evans he's coming he's done great had his struggles as well so we're gonna see how this plays out this final game we'll see who wants to win these jobs who wants to be the death lots of excitement but I'll be back tomorrow is effing game day baby so pregame we're gonna have the top how many ever people to be looking out for I always try to do like a top 20. it just but I'll give you the top players to be watching tomorrow going to be a lot of excitement there's going to be a lot of people to keep your eye on and it's going to be back end guys you know we're not going to be talking about too many starters and stuff because this is their last shot here you know after this game of a week you know before the cut down period and you know they've got some stuff going on Friday it's gonna be different you know the practices and things like that now that you know training camps over over but like they're just going right back to practice and dude they're doing the same stuff you know what I mean like it's just what you're calling these things how they have them scheduled you know what I mean things like that so the Eagles aren't stopping you know what I mean we're going to be done pre-season and then it's literally like we're practicing for the season the season has begun in our heads so what you're gonna get in um what it's 18 days so in 11 days you're gonna get a whole breakdown that week of the uh Patriots just like the eagles will talk about the injury report who they've had in the off season everything your heart would desire usually we talk about the stats like how they're doing that year we'll talk about how they did last year you know how that will change because of what they've added or lost things like that so get ready baby it's almost the start of the season but as soon as the cut Downs happen um and then we do all of like the IR placing the practice squad stuff like that I will give you the new updated cap space because I might do it once before just because things are going to change with all the things we did there but I'm going to show you how it changes once the season actually starts it's not just the top 51 anymore it's all 53 players on the roster everybody on IR everybody on the practice broad the pup list like that stuff so yeah I'll give you that new number uh obviously things will change but going to keep you up to date with every single thing you would ever need to know let's F and go but as I said that's all I've got for you tonight and uh oh yeah I can't wait I'm gonna be giving you this weekend that projected 53-man roster I'm excited about it hope you're excited about it already been working on it going to be nuts but uh look I'll be back tomorrow with that pre-game show uh getting ready for game time I cannot even wait but if anything happens in between then I will be back with a live video whether we sign someone because we do have an open roster spot so I might be back earlier in the day we'll see how my schedule permits took me like three hours to even be able to work on that one earlier today so I apologize for that but that's just the way it goes
