Philadelphia Eagles face off against the Minnesota Vikings at the Lin at Lincoln Financial Field at 1 pm Eastern Time 12: P PM Central Time 11 a.m. mountain time 10:00 a.m. Pacific time and if if you're in Hawaii it may be 8: a.m. nonetheless this is the last chance the last opportunity the last harah for anybody on the bubble the roster bubble this is the last chance for anyone on the roster bubble to be able to prove that they deserve a roster spot you know there are many players on this roster that we like that we may have high hopes for but everybody can't go that's one that's one of my favorite lines in life everybody can't go there's some people that think they belong just because of who they are it's some people that think they belong because what they believe their contributions were the reality is you got to show improve every day you got to show value every day and right now there's a lot of people that we may like but do they deserve a roster spot a lot of people on a roster bubble who who've been grinding working hard but do but do they deserve a roster roster spot is there a place for them the Philadelphia Eagles are deeper this year all across the board so today it's likely we see no ones we haven't seen the first team offense at all I doubt we see them today we've seen the first team defense in various combinations in various instances throughout the first two prese of games we've seen that um but I doubt we see the first team defense today I really doubt it unless Vic fangio just outright says no we I want these has to keep that momentum going so maybe we will maybe we won't maybe we see niobe Dean maybe we won't maybe we see Jeremiah Char Jr maybe we won't maybe we see Devin white and Zack Bond maybe we maybe we won't maybe we'll see Jaylen Carter and Jordan Davis and Bryce huff and Josh sweat no maybe we won't right maybe we see Quan Mitchell maybe we won't the point is right I I think we're going to see a bunch of twos and threes I really do think that uh I think this is going to be a really it's going to tell me a lot about also it's going to tell me a lot about how the Philadelphia Eagles see see the tner mcke Kenny picket situation now I think Tanner mcke and Kenny picket will play regardless I think we're gonna see a lot of Will Greer today um and also we're gonna get the opportunity to see Cooper deene we haven't seen Cooper dein at all you guys he just came back last week prior to the Patriots game he started out in limited action now now he's a full-time participant and I think we all knew that we weren't going to see him in that pies game it was kind of too soon to throw him out there but I think now we're going to be able to see him I I wouldn't be surprised the Philadelphia eag was have him out there damn near all game I wouldn't be surprised uh because he needs the Reps because he needs to get that he needs to knock that rust off you feel me Devon Tyree what's going on man welcome to the show Happy game day to you brother so I'm really excited to see Cooper dein today you know there are a bunch of players that I think who have a chance to make this roster yet they still have to prove it and we're going to get into that also also I'm going to get into my final my final 53 man roster prediction okay we have about an hour until the game starts so this show isn't going to be that long so I want to make sure I get through this as concisely and as smoothly as possible I will get to your comments best believe that okay as as we go through the show I will address your comments trade 979 welcome to the show brother but the game starting in an hour I want to get through the show as smoothly as possible and I know we're limited on time here so let's not waste any time all right so I want so I want to get into my list of players who have a chance to make the roster but they still have to prove it right and then we're going to get into my final 53 man roster prediction right but before do any of that I do need to say something and this is a little random or maybe it isn't you tell me I can't help but to think about this brother Nolan Smith and I think he plays today Nolan Smith is a player that I like I like and I have and I have high hopes for and I'm not gonna spend too much time on Nolan by the way I'm not gonna spend too much time on it but I feel like I need to get this off my chest and because I've been saying it and it's something that's wrecking my brain I know noan got two sacks in the first two precin of games I know he did and I'm grateful for it it's it's it feels good to see him finishing it feels good to see him putting something in the stat column regardless if it's a preseason or not it feels good to see that right but I need to see Nolan I need to see Nolan be a little bit more chaotic out there I need to see him wreak a little bit more Havoc I need to see him dominate second and third string guys especially when you were drafted in the first round I need to see that I personally feel like I haven't seen him dominate anybody that's just my humble opinion the first sack was a gift came off the line untouched the third string or the second or the St string left tackle didn't see him coming then then the second sack I mean he ran into a double team got chipped and got bounced right into the pathway at the quarterback I mean I give I I give him credit for finishing I give him credit for finishing but I need to see a little bit more from Nolan that's all I'm not I'm not going to kill Nolan that's just that's just why I'm at with him I like him I want him to win I think he will be I think he's going to be a good player but I need to see him stack those days stack those moves um I need to see a little bit more creativity in his pass rush that's all that's all you guys again I'm not here to down Nolan I'm a I like him I like I I like I like the personality I like who he is I like how he carries himself I have no hate in my body for Nolan Smith so El Jennings you need to you need to curve that brother you need to curve that if I talking about a player that I have high expectations for and I know he can be better than what he's showing us take that as a sign of respect you see I come I I come from the the school of I'm on you because I love you I'm on you because I know you got it in you don't be concerned when I'm talking about you be concerned when I stop looking for you be concerned when I'm not even checking for you no more be concerned when I stop talking about about you that's how I look at it that's that's the school of thought I come from right my dad always said to me listen son I'm on your ass because I know you got that potential so don't be upset when I'm on your ass be upset when I stop giving a [ __ ] excuse my language y'all I'm sorry excuse my language like don't be upset when I'm on you get nervous when I stop when I stop saying what I'm saying that's when you need to get nervous nervous so that's so that's my perspective on the Nolan thing and I'll leave it at that again I'm not trying to make this a Nolan cast this is not a Nolan cast at all uh and then ion madx and James Bradberry we're going to talk about those guys as well um so let's get into it let's get into my list of guys who are on the roster bubble who have a chance my personal list of guys who has a chance to make the roster but they still got to prove it today right like I think they can but I think today can make a Breck a lot of people and then we're going and then we're going to get into my 53 man roster prediction okay so I appreciate you guys get comfortable get your morning coffee maybe you guys um are on the east coast and it's and it's and it's you know lunchtime for you whatever you got to do get your hogy get your cheese steak get order your wings and your pizza whatever it is that you got to do get it done kick your feet up take your shoes off man make sure the kids is taken care of make sure you ran your errands for wifey it's time to get into the football talk you got guys are locked in on Chalk it up Sports where no matter if we win or if we lose we just got to charge it to the game if you guys don't know me if you're new to the show I'm tone D II and I live for this let's get it so who are the guys on this current roster who have a chance to make the roster but they still need to prove they deserve it today let's get into my guys let's start with the defensive tackles awkward place to start but we're going to start there shout out to my man battle post media s blunt rosson found Dre Anderson shout out to L Jennings shout out to spy City shout out to the NY Prince what's good what's good he what's good let's get into it if you're just hopping into the live stream big picking was good if you're just hopping into the live stream we are getting we're getting into my list of players who are currently on the roster that have a chance to make the 53 man roster but they still need to prove it today basically I'm getting to my guys who are on the roster bubble and who have a legit chance to make the roster but they got to prove it and then we're going to get into my final 53 man roster prediction later on my final one and I'm going to live and die by it let's get it so starting with the defensive tackle position Marlon tuy Pou and Thomas Booker I a fan of Thomas Booker I also like I also like um Marlin toy palu I think Marlon T palu put in some quality snaps over the past over his time as a Philadelphia Eagle I think Marlon T if I'm not mistaken I think Marlon T is entering year four year three something like that let's make sure we got this thing corrected Marlon T is entering year four just like Milton Williams both Mar both Marlin toy Pou and um Milton Williams are in contract gears but nonetheless Mar to pelu Thomas Booker somebody who I like on his roster I've seen him make some plays uh that that uh uh that Patriots game for Thomas Booker really stood out to me Thomas Booker 63 301 pounds Thomas Booker spent 2022 in Houston and then 2023 didn't really make an active roster now we are in 2024 can he can he finally make a 53 man roster right he's a former fifth round pick drafted in a 2022 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans got cut up the year one can he make a SPL I think I think that I think that's the rub right there that's the rub Marlon T and Thomas Booker here's the thing though Marlon T he's a true nose tackle and the Eagles don't really have too many of those guys right I think PJ Mustafa is a nose tackle as well but I don't think PJ Mustafa has been showing much throughout training Cam and the prec of games um Thomas Booker on the other hand he's not really a nose tackle more of a he's more of a three Tech a two ey guy so that's where things get a little interesting Marlon T does have an edge because he's the only nose teackle they probably trust but I think Thomas Booker has shown that he deserves to be considered so I'm really curious to see how that goes Thomas Booker I fourth like I said he had a strong preing game against the Patriots he got a sack that he that he earned and then on the following play he completely destroyed the interior of the Patriots which led to a sack by uh Edge rusher Terrell Lewis and he got in on the sack as well so those are two guys at the Deep tackle position that I think are really battling um hand and foot I think the Philadelphia Eagles if they if they don't keep six Thomas Booker and Marlon T2 have a battle on their hands if they do keep 6D tackles I think Thomas Booker and Marlon T make that again we're going to get into my 5050 roster prediction later on so getting to the edge rusher position right the edge rusher position or the off ball linebacker or how you want how you want to describe it here uh Patrick Johnson Patrick Johnson is an interesting player the Eagles like him clearly I know a lot of people like him uh I like you know Patrick Johnson he has a chance to make this roster but he also has a chance not to make this roster because again right it's going to come down to certain positions right I think the positions where things get a little tricky as offensive line D tackle and Corner why because you can give or take a player from any one of those groups and then that can really affect a whole another position group right it's going to come down to how many offensive line when the Eagles keep how many D tackles the Eagles keep how many DBS will the Eagles keep right and that's going to have a direct effect on the edge running back you know what I'm saying um linebacker right it's all this stuff is so intertwined right if the Philadelphia Eagles value a certain offensive lineman more than a particular Edge rusher or a d tackle they're want to keep that offensive lineman and maybe the a d tackle or Eder may may suffer so we're going to so we're going to see we're going to see how this thing pans out but I think Patrick Johnson has shown throughout the preseason that he's making he's making strides and Patrick Johnson he was also in that Milton Williams draft class Patrick Johnson uh was drafted in 2021 by the Philadelphia Eagles Patrick Johnson also was entering year for a contract year and Patrick Johnson every single season has made the active roster in 2021 Patrick Johnson 17 games played in 2022 Patrick Johnson 16 games played in 2023 Patrick Johnson 15 games played there hasn't been a season in Patrick Johnson's career when he hasn't made the active roster so does that Trend stop now or will he be able to keep this thing going and maybe show out this season maybe make a couple plays and maybe he can earn a job elsewhere or maybe the Eagles bring him back on a team-friendly two-year deal whatever it may be right it all it all remains to be seen but Patrick Johnson a guy who's on the bubble still regardless I think he can make the roster but if he has a really really bad game there's a chance he may not and the Eagles bring him back on bring him back on the practice squad all remains to be seen all right moving on you guys the DB room I think the DB room is one of the most challenging right because they're deep there right and I think we all know who's definitely going to make this roster we definitely know who's going to make this roster but at the same time do we guys like Eli Ricks who's talented and I like z z mcferson Tristan McCullum right Z mcferon and trist McCullum very good on special teams Avante Maddox right talented but gotta stay healthy right James Bradberry football IQ is very high but his physical traits aren't really that impressive doesn't really tackle that well transitioning from corner to safety can he prove his weight in gold can he prove his weight in gold I don't know the debu room is so tricky because again I'm going to get through my fifth Fe man roster prediction and maybe you guys agree maybe you guys disagree some of you guys saw it yesterday on the linkup with Simone Stanley and Laura Brunson if you missed that show go check it out on my channel it's also available on Lura brunson's Channel and Simone Stanley's Channel whatever suits you just check it out we did get into the 53 man but Eli rxs man oh man how can the Philadelphia Eagles let him walk if that's if that's the if that's an option is there a scenario where the Philadelphia Eagles can find a way to finagle him to finesse him on his roster is there a loophole I like Eli Ricks I think he's I think he's a talented guy I really do Z mcferon he's someone that I've always been hot and cold about Zack mcferson is a guy who's very good on special teams but in my opinion hasn't ever really been able to really stand tall on the defense now last year he suffered a season ending injury in the preseason and that really set him back but I don't but my confidence level in Z MC Ferris especially with the DB room looking the way it's looking my confidence level in Z mcferson is not the highest I'm being honest because of so it's so many guys ahead of him so so so much talent right and then Tristan McCullum I like this player I like Tristan McCullum I like the physicality and what he plays with he tackles well he enforces the action I like trist McCullum I I really really do but again avonte Maddox is a guy who can also play safety on the current depth chart that I've been looking at they have him sloted as a safety not a nickel that hurts Tristan mccullum's chances does he make the roster and then you know James Bradberry this thing's get this this is this is a this is a funny situation for him I don't know if he makes this roster I don't know if he's done enough to impress any none of these coaches that that that Patriots game was not a good showing by him it it was it was it was nerve it was nerve reckon honestly avonte Maddox is in my opinion is ahead of him that that interception and the return the 47 yard return I'm telling you that bought avonte Maddox a lot of leeway it really did so the debut room again Eli Ricks Z mcferson trist McCullum avonte MDX James Bradberry these are all guys in my humble opinion who have a sliver who have a chance to make this roster but will they I don't know moving on to the offensive side of things right we've addressed the D tackles Marlin T Thomas Booker who have a chance to make this roster who are on the bubble Edge rusher Patrick Johnson roster bubble can make this roster maybe he won't DBS Eli Ricks zip mcferson who are Corners trist McCullum ion Maddox James Bradberry who are safeties right I think all those guys have a chance to make this roster but they're all on the roster bubble believe it or not right and shout out to my man Trey 979 always dropping the links man really do appreciate you Trey thank you so much and I'm going to get to your comments by the way you guys I got you let me just get through this part of my Spiel moving on to the offensive side the running back room Michael heft welcome to the show man welcome to the show appreciate you for being here Peter Riley welcome to the show thank you for being here running back I think this is tough I think this is tough the Philadelphia Eagles in my opinion I think they're going to keep four running backs I think they're GNA keep four but the question is who will it be who will be the fourth we know who one two and three is saquan Kenny G will ship we know who those we know who those top three guys are but those bottom three guys Terry and Davis price Kendall Milton Lou Nichols I like those Brothers I like those brothers and if they go to the practice squad I highly doubt they will stay there I highly doubt all three of those guys will be there somebody's going to somebody's going to snatch one of those guys I think the Eagles gotta keep one of them you gotta keep one of those guys because between saquan Kenny G and will Shipley you don't have a PowerBack I think you I think you always need to have at least a one PowerBack saquan even though he runs with power and he's elusive I wouldn't consider saquan to be a power back I I personally wouldn't call him that and I know Kenny G and will ship have been running hard throughout the preseason but they're not PowerBack at all they're not but ter and Davis price Kendall Milton out of Georgia Lou Nichols those guys are power backs those guys are physical Runners and they're patient and they shown an ability to have solid Ball Carrier Vision I don't know man they got to keep one of them they gotta they gotta keep one of them s blunt I know I feel you all three of them not going to get scooped up but you got but you never know teams get desperate teams want to take a teams want to take a chance teams want to take a chance with some of these guys I don't I don't know I I I hear y'all Ross and found says he doesn't see four running backs coming well here's the thing the Eagles brought four running backs last year remember and I think they brought four running backs the year before that you feel what I'm saying so the Eagles have a history of signing four running backs to the active roster they have a history of that so I'm kind of I'm kind of you know trying to include their Trends also with my prediction and my assertions so I think they do keep four and again we're going to address this in my in my 53 man roster prediction but tyon Davis price I love what I saw from him in train C preseason I love what I saw from Kendall Milton and Lou Nichols all those guys have shown some kind of value they have especially in the short yardage situations right that was a that was a big thing for me William H Miller welcome to the show Tuan Joshua Mullins welcome to the show y'all all those guys have shown me something in those short yard situations and I like it I like it but we'll see how it goes man I think the Eagles have a tough decision on their hands believe it or not now let's get to the offensive line right offensive line is interesting um the philadelph Eagles are deep Jay dog what's good Donald Rome what good uh the Eagles are always deep in the offensive line I think they got some tough decisions to make I think guys who can make this roster but who are on the roster bubble are in the interior and that is Matt Hennessy McMahon the rookie out of uh North Carolina and then Brett Toof now here's the thing right I think out of all those guys Dylan Dylan McMahon has had the best preseason run or training camp however you want to call it you know Dylan McMahon he's a center he's a true Center uh Matt Hennessy he's a guard that can also play center Brett Toof a guard who can also play center Eric Stewart what's good KY from B welcome to the show Jason aam Drew Anderson welcome to the show y'all I haven't been the most impressed with Matt Hennessy I've really liked what I saw from Dylan McMahon I I really I I I really have liked what I saw from Dylan um Brett Toth he's very up and down Brett Toth has been on his roster for the past what two seasons I think something like that two or three seasons if I'm not mistaken Brett Toof he's he's made the rosters before um the Eagles have used him in various situations you know as a rotational guy if somebody got hurt but but Brett talk to somebody that I've always been iffy about always have I'm really high on Dyan McMahon I am and then Matt Hennessy I thought he would did a little bit more a guy who has a guy who has as much experience as him playing for the Atlanta Falcons at guard and Center I thought he would be I thought he would separate himself more from the pack I really did I thought he would be able to really show the distance between him and some of these young guys but he hasn't which is why he's on the roster bubble which is why I believe that he's competing directly with Dylan McMahon competing directly with Brett competing directly with Brett Toof now Dylan McMahon he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles I believe in the sixth round I can't quite remember let me double check this Dylan McMahon was drafted let's see here sixth round pick 90 out of North Carolina state so look at all remains to be seen it's wide open again all these guys have potential to make the roster have a chance to make the roster but they got to prove it and then the wide receiver position the wide receiver position is interesting to me because I think the Philadelphia Eagles will keep six wide receivers the question is what will be their motive for keeping particular guys right because I think the Philadelphia Eagles are really big on signing their rookies to the roster regardless of how they do in the preseason in training camp I think they just don't want to let their draft picks hit the hit the waiver wire or hit the practice squad so they can get poached up but guys in my opinion who can who are on the roster bubble to make this roster but they also need to show something today Paris Campbell John Ross and let's throw let's throw in an nias Smith in there hear me out on this annias Smith because he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles there's a strong chance he makes this roster off the just off the strength of that but what if that's not the case what if this is a situation where the Philadelphia Eagles say you know what anas we like you and we drafted you but we need to go with the people who we believe are ready now and they send anas to the practice squad and then they and then and then they decided to keep Paris Campbell or John Ross now annias Smith hasn't really shown much at all but he was still drafted he's a young player he's a rookie if he hits the waiver wire somebody will take a chance on him somebody will but at the same time do you run that risk and you say you know what I'm keeping Paris Campbell or you keeping John Ross you just see there's so many sides to this equation are the Philadelphia Eagles looking at it like hey you know what there's a better chance Paris Campbell and John Ross clear waivers before annias Smith does so we're going to keep annias cut Paris and cut John Ross and then maybe spin the block and like my man s blunt said the Philadelphia Eagles are good for this is there a chance that the Philadelphia Eagles put any of these players on IR just so they can sneak him through the roster is there a chance is there some Phantom injury that may pop up and an nias Smith ends up on IR so they can keep Paris Campbell or John Ross I think the wide receiver position is a conundrum a little bit because you got to ask yourself is this a is is this about draft status or draft stock or or is this about the best man winning the job it's going to come down to it's going to come down to a a few variables here and I'm really curious to see how this goes now now that we've gotten through all my players who are on the roster Buble who have to show something today now now now that we got through that I'm going to show you guys my current 53 man roster prediction my final 53 man roster prediction and when you guys see this you may say damn tone that kind of contradicts what you said earlier and I'm going to say no it doesn't here's why because although all those players I mentioned have a chance to make this roster everybody can go and even though I I gave you a list of guys who I think are on the roster bubble I still have my prediction of who will make the roster and which direction the Eagles will go in but I can't be wrong right but that's the fun right that's the fun in it making the predictions trying to figure out how this thing is going to shake out so I really do appreciate you guys being here giving me Grace make sure you guys continue to smash that like button if you haven't already smashing on the way in smashing on the way out don't forget if you're new to the show make sure you guys subscribe means a lot to me goes a long way we have over a hundred people in the live stream right now it's it's going up and it's only getting better man you guys you guys have been having a strong week and I

picket notice I have Tanner mcke ahead Kenny picket I think the Philadelphia Eagles should and will do the right thing making Tanner mcke the number two they have to do the number two they have to uh running back running back I have Squan Barkley Kenny G will Shipley and terion Davis price I'm a huge tyon Davis price guy I like Kendall Milton I like Kendall Milton I like Lou Nichols but I just I I think they keep four running backs I do I do I could be wrong though right but I think they keep four they kept four last year I think they keep for this year uh wide receiver now hold on my man s blunt says I don't see that I see three running backs okay not mad at it I'm not listen I'm not mad at it not one bit Eric Stewart says I would keep Ross over Campbell every damn time you turn around Campbell is hurt I get it Peter Riley says great list so far all right all right so far so good so far so good um let's keep this thing going Tony C says great show keep it up thank you thank you Tony really appreciate it 39 3979 says Nichols so you would swap out ter and Davis press for L Nichols not mad at it not mad at it at all all right uh wide receiver AJ Brown Devonte Smith Johan doson Britain cvy Johnny Wilson annias Smith hear me out I know annias Smith has shown us nothing he has not impressed us not one bit but because the Philadelphia Eagles drafted him I think the Eagles are going to he's going to make this roster because of what I said earlier I think that there's a stronger chance Paris Campbell and Johnny and John Ross make it through waivers than annias Smith I know this is a I I know this is a a democracy and it's about who shows their weight and gold this is about who proves they they deserve it right and obviously John John Ross has done more than anniah Smith but anniah Smith was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles Johnny Wilson's right there Joshua Johnny Wilson's right there uh I think I I just think the Philadelphia Eagles they drafted an i they're high on him still I really doubt I really doubt they let I really doubt they let that man go to the practice squad because he ain't gonna make it through waivers I don't think so so because he was drafted I think they keep him I think they keep him you all good Joshua no worries you all good s blunt says he thinks that Kenny picket remains quarterback too unless today he is hot trash while in my opinion he's been hot trash he hasn't been good he hasn't been good Tanner m has outplayed him in every which way so we'll see how it goes Trey t 979 says I want to see cvy on offense at this point I'm curious to see what cvy can do too maybe in maybe in a four wide receiver set you see him who knows MC says great linkup show thank you I really appreciate you guys credit to Simone Stanley and Lord Brunson for that man they do great work true Savage welcome to the show man so all it seems like for the most part we agree on the wide receivers Peter Riley says I agree all right okay now let's get to the tight ends okay at tight end at tight end I have Dallas Gard obviously Grant calcatera and EJ jins I think the Philadelphia Eagles keep three tight ends this year they're not particularly deep there V rival says tyan Davis price goes to the practice squad it's possible who's your alternative do do are you a Lou Nichols guy or a Kendall Milton guy V Rivals let me know but I think um I think EJ Jenkins has shown he deserves a roster spot um Grant kakera he's played well when healthy he's played well when healthy and obviously Dallas Gard is your starter AJ Jenkin is gonna get a lot of run he's gonna get a lot of run today Kevin folch is gonna get a lot of run today um Albert o is going to get a lot of run today Albert o has has disappointed me I Albert ow show us way more than what he has and he hasn't EJ Jenkins has outperformed him in every which way I think EJ Jenkins mixed this roster as tight end three and you never know if Grant caka goes down we may see EJ Jenkins getting some tight end two reps and he may show us something he may be a dark horse he may be a dark horse so let's keep an eye on EJ Jenkins I think he makes his roster and I think the Eagles keep three tight ends let's go to the offensive line now offensive line Joshua Mullen says same here tone I had high hopes for Albert o I did too man he has the physical traits you like but hasn't really been able to show anything show enough says only one of those tight ends is a decent blocker well Dallas Gard is your best blocker obviously he's he's more than decent Dallas Gard is more than a decent blocker blocker he's a phenomenal blocker at tight end EJ Jenkins is a better blocker than Grant Kaka V rival says he's a Kendall Milton guy but he thinks they all go to the practice squad if they keep a running back I don't know if all those guys survive the practice squad I I think I think at least I think I think they all have potential to get picked up it's possible Ernest Wallace says all running backs can go after Shipley they decent power Runners but not hard to replace if they get picked up I don't know man I don't know I I don't think they're hard I don't think they're just easy to replace I don't all right so let's get to the offensive line I think the Philadelphia Eagles are going to keep 10 offensive linemen this year they kept I think 10 last year I think they keep 10 again um I'm rolling with Jordan meada obviously Landon Dickerson cam Jurgens McKai beckon starting Right Guard Lane Johnson that's the given right this is where things get interesting Tyler Stein he definitely makes his roster he can play both Right Guard and right tackle Trevor Keegan definitely makes his roster had a phenomenal training camp and preseason you drafted him in the fifth round I believe or the sixth round D the Trevor Keegan and he was phenomenal at Michigan he's been phenomenal thus far he's so polished technique is his technique is formidable I like Trevor ke he definitely makes his roster at left guard and then you know they're GNA be cross training Trevor Keegan all throughout the season don't be surprised if Trevor Keegan play right can play right guard as well and then Fred Johnson he definitely makes his R so the Eagles love Fred Johnson he's the backup for Jordan meada at left tackle Darien Canard I think Daren Canard has really come on I think Daren Canard has really um shown Improvement to his game I like him I don't you know it's it's something about him I like I like him as I like him as a uh as a as a backup tackle and then Dylan McMahon I think I think Dylan McMahon again remember the Eagles drafted Trevor Keegan they drafted Dyan McMahon they're not going to let those guys hit the practice squad they're not gonna let those guys hit waivers they're not so Dylan McMahon in my opinion makes his roster also I just feel like he's outplayed mat Hennessy I think I I feel like he's outplayed Brett Toof you know I feel like Daren Canard has outplayed Brett to you know I really believe he has rosson found says I don't think Lane makes the [Laughter] team s blunt says longterm I like Keegan at Red Guard yo I was saying that I was saying that I like Keegan at Right Guard long term because before we signed Makai be I thought Trevor Keegan would be competing with Tyler Stein for that sted Right Guard spot I really believe that but then it came out that he was going to be left guard behind landed Dickerson and then he brought in McKai Beck the name obviously we know how that thing went so I like Keegan I really do I think at some point Trevor Keegan is gonna be a starter on this offensive line as blunt says uh he also says I agree on the o line only question is if Stout wants another option in place of Canard yeah yeah to put it plainly you guys out of all the guys that I have making this offensive line Daren Canard is probably probably the only one who could who could slip out of favor V rival said I love the 10 offensive line you picked the 10 offensive linan you picked up Eric Stewart says BR cubby is a company type of guy and I'm scared as hell every time he gets the ball in his hands Donald Rome says I would chance I would chance cut Grant kakera to keep Hennessy and reclaim Grant after he's not picked up I don't think Grant kakera would make it through waivers I really don't he's a talented guy he's gotta stay healthy Eric Stewart says I have EJ Jenkins over kakera that guy stays hurt I get it Trey 979 says Tyler Steam will be the next Eagles Legend we'll see man I like Tyler Stein though he just got to work on his discipline but I like him rosson F says in stotland We Trust we got about 22 minutes before the game starts let's try to get through this okay all right so uh my offensive lineman as you guys can see here now let's get to the defensive tackles and well let's get to the defensive side period so at defensive tackle Jaylen Carter Jordan d avav Milton Williams moroo Thomas Booker Mar toou I have a sneaky suspicion that Eagles keep sixd tackles remember I spoke about how excuse me excuse me you guys earlier I spoke about how I think the Eagles keep sixd tackles right or I think that Tyas Brooker and Marlon to palu are competing if if they only keep five if they only keep five then I think Marlon T makes the roster if they keep six Thomas Booker and marel trot to make the roster that's my as blunt says last year they kept seven so all I'm glad you as blunt I'm so glad you said that that fur that further that further cements my point right don't be surprised if they keep six D tackles and if they keep six Thomas Booker and monu are those five and six guys Moralo has had a hell of a training camp a hell of a preseason the the moral the moral Ojo stock is high right now Milton Williams has talked about him Jaylen Carter has talked about him Jordan Davis has talked about him everybody's been talking about him so moral Jomo I can't wait to see what he does I think I think he's gonna have a really strong season this year the edge rushers this is where things get interesting Josh sweat Bryce Huff Brandon Graham Nolan Smith jelix hunt Patrick Johnson I think Patrick Johnson makes this roster I really do the Eagles like him they always have he's made the roster every single season I have a hard time thinking I have a hard time thinking he doesn't make it and then obviously jayx hunt they drafted him he's making his roster he's too he's too t he's too Dynamic he's too he's too much of a fascinating Prospect for them to let him go and then Nolan Smith obviously first round pick you got to see what you got in him and every body else is a given and then getting to my middle linebackers right or my interior linebackers rather I think they keep all four of those guys I think Devin white Zack Bond and Kobe Dean and Jeremiah trer Jr make this roster I believe that now will Devon white and Zack Bond Remain the starters All Season that remains to be seen but I think the Philadelphia Eagles really really like what they've been saying from the Kobe Dean lately they really really like what they've been saying for Jeremiah TR Jun lately you're not letting either of those guys walk to the practice squad it's just it's just a given you're they be idiots as blunt says no Ben van sumerin listen man this is what I mentioned earlier right how you know when you keep certain when you keep a certain amount of players at a certain position it kind of affects other positions right besides I think I think Ben van sumerin can make it through waivers I think Ben van summeran can make it through the practice squad right so we'll see we'll see Joshua Mullen says Jay's Hunt is a project he ain't going nowhere big Rhythm ask or any starters playing today I don't know if any of them do play you may see them on defense you're not gonna see him on offense if if offensive starters play I'll be shocked Donald Ron says noan has to play loose with his hair on fire today he is not in danger being cut but has to play great I agree I agree we got about 18 minutes before the game start you guys let's try to get through this as quickly as possible Trey 979 says yeah Edge is GNA be a heroic effort this year rosson F says Edge is our weakest is our weakest position in his opinion Big Hurt season says jumo gonna show up this year he a dog Donald Ron says Ajo and Williams will will make a big leap this year big Herz also says I don't think we keeping six DTS fair enough Philly flyover says for all the guys complaining about slaying Bradberry if Fu really benches garbage players they won't see the field so relax good point uh Wahoo Nation welcome to the show Wahoo he says Ben van Sumer wouldn't last three minutes have you seen his PFF grades Devon tyes says Hey tone uh you wouldn't keep Gabe Hall that's what I'm saying man I like Gabe Hall I like Gabe Hall see I like our yo I love the Eagles um depth at defensive tackle I love their depth at running back I love their depth at corner so it's tough I'm making tough decisions Devon I'm making tough decisions bro this is hard this is difficult I'm pulling my hair out I like Gabe Hall a lot I really do I really do man but I but I but I I like I like Thomas Booker a little more just just just just a just a smidge more brother that's all shout out to my man Devon always showing love it's my guy Roland Rolland they hating patrolling they trying to catch him riding dirty trying to catch rolling riding dirty what's going on Roland J he says Jay doc got those commander games marked on his calendar of course you know he gonna go off and you know the commanders ain't got no corners Commander's corner is buns Donald Rome he said that's what they thought about Elias last year or Ellis last year they don't want to make that same mistake with Sumer we'll see man we'll see I I just don't know we'll see all right let's get to my Dbacks let's get to my Dbacks rosson found with the $2 Super Chat thank you my man I really do appreciate it rosson rosson frown came down the pipeline with the $2 Super Chat he says respect to Bradberry he has been a Class Act yeah that's another thing too I I I I want people to give Bradberry just a little bit more respect he's been handling this like a gentleman and a scholar he's been a professional hasn't complained one time he's just been out there working and when he's spoken to the media he's been honest transparent he's been giving the fans every detail of this process when it comes to transitioning from corner to safety he's been very detailed in his perform performances you know he's been very honest I I don't know what James bradberry's future holds I really don't but man oh man is that man a professional he is a professional and you have to appreciate that he could be causing a ruckus he's been a professional but also it's easy to be a professional when your entire contract for the 2024 season is guaranteed it's easy to be professional when he got the guarantee money that he got you know what I'm saying it's easy to be a professional when you know the money already safe you feel what I'm saying I just want to put that out there I'm not saying that's how he thinks but I just it's it's easy to be a professional it's easy to be a professional when the money already safe in the bank just saying all right shout out to my man Ross and found man with the $2 Super Chat I really do appreciate you as blunt says Eli Rick's cut I wish they would trade that man I think he has value he does have value he does you know and look maybe they don't cut him maybe they trade him but I just have a hard time seeing where he fits into the roster you know and maybe the Eagles keep more DBS maybe they keep less DTS maybe they keep less running backs maybe they keep more offensive alignment maybe they keep less Ed you feel like it all it all this is a balancing act so um yeah man I like Eli Ricks a lot maybe they trade him but my defensive backs that make the roster I have Darius Slay Quan Mitchell Isaiah Rogers KY Ringo Cooper dein CJ GJ CJ GJ Reed blankinship and avonte Maddox I think Avon Maddox really you know really really Ed his stock with that with that uh with that Patriots precin game and he has a chance to make the roster he has a chance to up it again but remember what I said earlier you guys remember what I said earlier I gave you guys a handful of players from damn near every position group who have a chance to make this roster if they have a strong day but they also have a chance to get cut if they don't have a strong day also versatility is very valuable to this defense right now Quan Mitchell has shown he can play inside in the slot and outside Cooper dein can play inside and outside and also can play a little bit of safety if you if you need them to CJ GJ can play inside and can play safety avonte Maddox can play inside and can play safety so you have versatility with those guys bore what's good welcome to the show Trey Integrity what's going on Trey integy says yo where's Sydney Brown at Sydney Brown is on the pup list therefore he doesn't count against your roster cydney Brown will miss the first four weeks of the season because he's on a pup list being on the pist automatically protects a player from being scooped up from anybody the pess player is on your roster he just he just he just doesn't count against your 53 now obviously special teams Jake ellot Bron man Rick levado we know we know that's safe right now as blunt I'm glad I'm glad you went back to the running backs because to your point if they only keep three running backs I'm giving that roster spot to Eli Ricks to your point if they only keep three running backs I'm keeping I'm I'm giving that spot to Eli Ricks if they only keep five DTS instead of six I'm giving that spot to Eli Rick you follow me I think Eli RX is I think Eli Rick is On The Fringe because they're so deep in the Deep back room but also if the Eagles if the Eagles don't keep a vonte Maddox I think Eli Ricks makes their roster you you feel me so again this is a balance neck you guys we got about 10 minutes before the game starts we got about 10 minutes before the game start so real quick gonna run down my list one more time all right gonna run down one more time so here's my final final 53 man roster prediction Jay at
