Speaker 1 (00:00):
What if you thought of the job that Won Dell
has done just really stepping up in there's even course
that you've been out.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
He's done a great job. I mean, I think he's
kind of a walking antithesis of the stereotype, you know,
like an undersized guy. You know a lot of people
say he couldn't get it done in his size, and
he's gonna went out there in the past two sundays,
done a great job for us. What do we see
from a kind of stepping up a little bit? He's
a pro. You know, they came in together with rookies together,
so you know, he is who I've always known him

(00:24):
to be. He's consistent, he's a big body, he's physical
in the run game, but he also have to make
plays down the field, and I think he's shown up.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
What advice would you give to a rookie quarterback about
going into Philly to play for the first time.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, I mean, if he didn't have any haters, he'll
find about where they all live. You know, he's about
to get introduced to all of them. But uh, you know,
it's still just football, you know, obviously, especially you know
he's an sec kid like me, and you know you're
playing that conference. You know, it's the same way going
to those awaye stadiums, And honestly, that's what makes it great,
you know that that competitive fire.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
He mentioned, you know, Orburn and LSU and now you
know he mentioned all the same places you would have
not or Burn, but you know the other ones. Is
it different?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Is the Philly experience a little different?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I would say it's similar. It's it's different, but it's
very similar. It has this very similar feel. It feels hostile.
It feels like, you know, you're on the wrong side
of town, you know, but you know, in the football
game kind of like it that way because it's like,
you know, we came over here, we're gonna we're gonna
try to try to cause ruckus and.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
It's Philly compared to just other NFL road environments, Like
where would you rank them?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I guess, uh, they're probably number one in hostility for sure.
They have a nice environment though, I mean they have
you know, their their chance and the little things they
do and all that, and you know, I think they
think they have a have a nice environment.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
If you're an Eagle, what would you say over all
your chances of playing this week?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Ah, you know, I'm optimistic. You know I feel good.
I'm gonna try to do what I need to do
to get myself right to play and go
