Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Fox Sports Radio Gambler. Fox Sports Radio in Philly is
the Gamblers coming to you live from Chicky's and Pete's
in Marlton, New Jersey. Every Monday night. It's the All
Pro Philly Players Show. Now Here are your hosts, Gerald

(00:22):
Colts and an Eagles inside him Dave Spidero Good.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Live from Marlton, New Jersey. It's the All Pro Philly
Players Show.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm Gerald Fulton here every Monday. And this is a
victory Monday for the Philoff Eagles. A little bit different
victory Monday because the game is on Thursday, and it
feels so so long ago at this point, but at
twenty six eighteen victory where the Washington Commanders propelled the
Eagles to eight and two six straight wins, two up
in the lost colm in the NFC East Division, and

(00:56):
really in a great position as ahead to the backstretch
of the season with the second best record in the
National Football Conference, in a real threat to go to
the Super Bowl for the second time in three years,
and everything just continuing to come together better and better
for the twenty twenty four Philadelphi Eagles. But it sure
does feel a long time ago that they play Normally

(01:18):
we're here with an Eagles player every Monday. This was
such a weird week that we don't have one today.
But I'm joined instead of the Eagles insider, who's actually hosting.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
An event with Jalen Hurtzy kind of upstage.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Just today, John, I'm here with John James and Fox
Sports a gambler.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Hey John, Look, if I had an invite to that,
I would also be there, So I can't. I can't
blame Dave for that one.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, you know with Jalen, and Jalen's certainly doing a
great job for the Philadelphia Eagles, and that six straight
wins is not how the season looked like early on,
and they've really gotten their act together and continue to
improve in every phase of the game. But number one,
that defense just looks like a top tier defense.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
I actually predict did them to be a top ten defense,
and I felt like maybe I'm going a little bit
too high. Everybody else is very low on them, and
this is blowing my expectations away. All of it's blowing
my expectations away. They have two rookies who are now
cornerstone pieces of that defense, with Cooper de Jean and
Quinyon Mitchell. But then you have a second year player
who just you were talking and marveling about one hundred

(02:20):
percent of the staffs.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yet that's the kind of player.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
He is, the stud player, and he's on the Eagles
defensive line. You know, there's just so many game changers
on that defense. But it's the first time I feel
like I can confidently feel like the Eagles secondary and
their pass defense can go up against a top quarterback
like they're gonna see one in Matthew Stafford this week,
and I feel very confident they did to me an

(02:43):
excellent job against Jayden Daniels.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
That's the kind of defense they are.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I think they can perform well against those kind of
passing offenses. And I don't know if I could have
ever said that about the twenty twenty two team. I
don't even know if I could have said that about
the twenty seventeen team. But I can say that confidently
about this one.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
You Know, It's funny because me into the season, the
offense was a little more set. It was pretty much
continuing what they had had here. Obviously, you took away
Jason Kelsey, but you upgraded so much at the running
back theode high hopes and I know, John, you were
talking about how you really believed it was a top
notch offense. The question marks to me were the defense.

(03:18):
You had a new defensive coordinator. Vic Fangio obviously tremendously experienced,
a guy who is absolutely suited to be a coordinator,
not a head coach, because we saw that throughout his career.
It was here and did work with the twenty two
Super Bowl team, and we knew that we were getting
a good defensive mind, but you don't know, and there
were so many changes on that defensive personnel and they've

(03:41):
all worked out great well at least except for Huff.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
But it was the only one and everything else kind
of hit.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
And I'm hoping there's still maybe light at the end
of the tunnel for Huff somewhere, like they find something.
But even if that doesn't work, they landed on a
perfect first round pick, they landed on a perfect second
round pick. They have done an excellent job in figuring
out the linebacker position. Maybe that is credit to Vic
Fangio because he had the vision for.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Zack bond A is an inside linebacker and that's.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Been maybe the biggest turning point I think for me
for the defense was they did find an inside linebacker
that they thought was an outside linebacker coming into the.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Year, and he had. He's been phenomenal. He's yet right,
he's been elite.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Like the numbers and the way he's playing isn't like
a good linebacker an okay linebacker. He's been one of
the best mintal linebackers in the NFL this season, or
inside linebackers, and that's something I didn't think the Eagles
had in their bag this year. But I figured they
could because even my expectations were, Okay, you have enough
at linebacker, you can figure it out. Whether it was Trotter, Junior, Nakobe, Deane,

(04:42):
Zach Bond, you'd be able to figure it out. You'd
be able to figure out with the defensive line, especially
because you have some guys that are getting into their
second third years and then secondary, you put a lot
of talent there, so I figure the talent might get
there eventually.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
But it's all like clicked immediately in a way.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Again, I haven't seen an Eagles defense click like this
in a very very long time. Every single level of
their defense, from defensive line at the line of scrimmage,
to linebacker's middle of the field. Like, I think the
middle of the field is covered now in a way
in ways that it wasn't previously. They used to get
burned in the middle of the field because the linebacker TJ.
Edwards was a really good linebacker, had tough time covering.

(05:19):
And still like this team is better than all of that,
Like I've never seen them be able to cover parts
of the field that they have been. And then you
even get to the secondary part of it.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
CJ.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Garner Johnson could play slot, he can play deep. H
Cooper to Gen can play slot, can play deep, can
play outside. Quinion Mitchell can play against anyone in any
position anywhere. The versatility on the on the secondary is
something that is astounding to me. And now this defense
for the first time, covers every part of the field
in a way I have never seen it in at
least recent years.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
From now, No, I agree with everything you just said,
and truly, you know, the one of the names you
threw in there today, you could have him to Kobe
dan and the Kobe Dane didn't get on the field
the first two years she was here. He seemed like
a third round pick. I thought he was and this
guy might be a pro bowler this year. You know.
As good as Bond has been, the Dean has been
almost as good in a poorting sort of co star

(06:12):
role for these guys.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah, and Nkobe Dean, I think he has been doing a
better job with run defense. He really understands like gap
Assignmon's and when to kind of to hit the gaps
and really good instinctually at stopping the run. Bond to
me has been a bigger surprise when it comes to
pass defense, and Washington was the best example of it
because he went that diving play Jane Daniels tride one
in the middle and that usually that's an easy, easy

(06:35):
pass against the Eagles in previous years. That's not easy anymore.
And Bond has made that play a few times for them.
Now that part of the field is covered, they are
better at run stopping because of the to Kobe Dean.
So not only have these guys playing okay, are good,
they have strengths that are I think helping and benefiting
them in a way that Libacker hasn't.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
A long There's actually a guy that I don't think
his name has come up as you've gone through very
accurately all the great country they've had, and I got
to throw and read blanken Ship the closer with another
pick again at the end of the.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Center field like ball skills, because we've seen that. Somebody
put a montage together of all of his interceptions and
it's all the same thing. He's coming from the center
of the field and he's reading and he's anticipating these things.
That's amazing, and he's using that skill to get them turnovers.
So even that part of the field is just like
the seam is cover and the seam has been a
spot that I think the Eagles have gotten.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Burned in recently. Read Blankenship covers that area so.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Well, and they one other guy is Diarius, Like who
someone gets taken for granted right now because queeny On
Mitchell is so good.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I mean, he costs me money the other day.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I never bet against the Eagles in a regard, but
I threw one of those crazy parlays.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I thought McClaren would at least get forty yards and
and he got one. Character has been a stun and
he's hurt the Eagles a lot.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Like in one of those crazy parlays, it would have
paid me a lot for a small number.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, and I don't even because Quinyon is great, So
I don't want to take away anything with Quinnon. This
is not me doing that, but I think you are
able to stop a player like Terry McLaurin because everything's
working well.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's not just one guy is covering question.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's because the defensive line is starting to get a
little bit more pressure. The running game wasn't good or
has not been good against the Eagles, and so now
you're making like Jade Daniels basically had to make so
many uncomfortable decisions and throws and that's amazing. And so
then it helps out with Quinnyon who can just focus
solely on his job, solely on a guy like Arry mcclarin,
who was ever a crossroom and it helps throw off

(08:30):
the timing. Quinon Mitchell's there to help their off the timing.
That was amazing to see an offense that seemed so
automatic for a lot of the year in Washington not
be able to move them. And I think they've had
red zone problems, so I'm not surprising in score a lot,
and they've shown some times where they haven't been great.
Washington's offense. But I don't know if I've seen them
get stopped like that, and the way the Eagles, they

(08:50):
certainly haven't this year.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Jayden Daniels, who has had a fadlous rookie season, certainly
I don't believe he has faced a defense like that,
and he won't within this conference or at the end.
You know, he plays Dallas, Good luck for him, that's
good for him.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's coming week.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Datha be Cours playing tonight on the MODNY Night Game,
and uh, what a brutal Monday. It's it's absolutely incredible
where Dallas is falling and we don't mind that fault
to continue. And now I also before we switch gears,
I just do want to touch on what you said
about Jalen Carter. It is incredible for a defensive tackle

(09:25):
to play one hundred percent of the play.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
I was shot when I pick up.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
It's a large human being doing a lot of work
constantly on every staff he's playing.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
And really making his presence known in every way. You know,
he's one of those guys you got a game player for.
You got to know where he is, You got to
you got to really be aware. And he's disruptive and
he's he's a he's a tone setter. I don't know
that we've had a guy like that, you know what
we Fletcher Cox was a fabulous TATIS player for a
long time and literally a borderline NFL Hall of Famer.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Will certainly be an Eagles Hall of Fame. I think
he will be.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
But yeah, he's he's one of the greatest Eagles defensive
players of all time.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Like he's, He's had an unbelievable career.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
And then before that, you gotta go way back for
defensive tackles and Jerome Brown was the best defensive tackle
ever saw where in Eagles uniform nuts way way before
your time, and unfortunately his tragic death during the prime
of his career. But this guy is an elite caliber player,
and I think as on as you know, injuries and
things stay away from him at that side, he could

(10:23):
have just an incredible presence here for a long long time.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
And then he's just a game changing player.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, And I think people do get stuck too much
on the sack number.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I think a little too much with some of these.
I'm not worried with the detackle.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
I'm not worrying he is. I think you said the
right word is impacting. He is impacting the way a
quarterback is making a throw because they can't either set
their feet, they can't do anything. So I think for
me that is more of more of a of a
green light. I mean, that's the impacting of a play,
not just the result of it impacting that jayde Daniels

(10:58):
has to move his feet, has to go off his
platform and then try and make a throw against that
secondary after he does that.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Good luck with that. That's a really hard thing to beat.
Good luck And it is the right word.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
And I know a quarterback is always aware of that
massive human right in the middle of the line and
whether he's getting the tack or a zach or it's
the double team that creates a space or someone else,
he's affecting plays in a big, big way.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Both run in pass.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
The Eagles have done a great job drafting a defense
and putting together guys that hopefully will be together for.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
A long time. You know, when you see.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Mitchell Cooper, dejen Jalen Carter and the rest of this gang,
this boats really well for a long long time for
this film.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, when you have two cornerbacks like that, I mean
cornerback has now been a premium position in the NFL,
and really, I think we saw the Jets with it
last year, a couple of years ago. I think it
was both with DJ Reid and Sauce Gardner. Not as
much this year, but I think those like you saw
the potential. This is what it's like with two really
good cornerbacks and how much the defense can do, like

(12:01):
some of the different things that defense can do when
you have two guys that are that good. And I
think the Eagles may have found themselves two of those guys.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
They may and that's why I point out Sleigh is
still doing a good job, Cooper Dejean playing the slot
but can play either way, and Mitchell, I mean, we
got a spectacular defense going on. And that's also another
point shown is that the Eagles offense at times has
sputtered at times gotten slow start.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
They did it again on Thursday night.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
They only had six points going to the fourth quarter,
wound up winning the game at twenty six to eighteen,
and I don't think it really was as close as
that final score because of the last touchdown, but regardless,
they scored twenty points in the fourth quarter after only
six the whole game. But you can afford to do
that if your defense is clamping down the other team
the whole way. And I know people get restless at

(12:48):
link of financial and the Eagles fans tend to look, all,
it was a.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Win, but we could have done this.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Look, if your defense keeps you in the game, you
don't have to look past what the Pittsburgh Steelers do.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
For example, every game, play.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Ugly football, kick six field goals and beat the Baltimore
Revens yesterday and they do that kind of stuff all
the time.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
That's a championship recipe for me.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Because the Eagles had the explosive offense, they will score
the points, but that defense will keep them in just
about every game they play.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, I think that's why I am calling the Eagles
a super Bowl contender at this point because that's the blueprint.
And they have something that is that has worked before
in the past with teams and Super Bowl teams, and
something I think works really well with them because now
they do have not only explosive wide receiver in aj Brown,
they have an explosive running back and you haven't even
mentioned the offense. The defense keeps him in games long

(13:36):
enough and eventually, yes, Sequon's going to hit a home run.
AJ Brown's going to hit a home run. Jalen Hurts
was a really good deep ball. Is eventually going to
what I like a little bit more consistency out of
the quarterback, but I like.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Him to be better in the pocket.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
I think a lot of the times that like the offense,
sputter is because his eyes are dropping, and so when
his eyes are dropping, you can't look downfield at who's there,
who's available. So I think that sometimes plays a part
in it. But I do think that there is enough
explosiveness in the offense that they are eventually going to score,
so their defense can carry them through most of the game,

(14:09):
and eventually sat Quan is going to hit a thirty
yard run, A J. Brown is going to catch a
thirty forty yard pass, and they're gonna.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Put up points.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
And listen, take away from it doesn't have to be
on the first quarter like it'll be in the third.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
And if you go into the fourth quarter and you've
always scored six, you've only scored six, but you've only
given up ten, that's still the winnable game. As they
have proven a few times already this year and even
in mentioning the weapon of the aj Brown Barclay who's
now in the MVP, you know, discussion really well deserved
and gives us an explosiveness. He's a guy who wears

(14:42):
down that defense, so he cracks those two big runs
on the fourth quarter like the great running backs often
do by just wearing them down. But they also have
Dallas god It, Devonte Smith, you know, a couple other
great weapons. And I do think that the Jalen's game
management is improving and his ability to get those short

(15:03):
yarded drugs and the touchdowns is if underreided.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, I think that is getting better because one of
the biggest problems when they were in that losing streak
last year and even the beginning of this season was
the untimely turnovers and not being able to win in
those kind of smaller margins. I think Hurts has done
a great job of just taking what a defense gives him.
He's fine with throwing a short pass now, he's not

(15:27):
trying to look for everything downfield. Because one thing about
Hurts that people I think talk about enough of this
game is he does have a lot of negative plays.
He has taken a lot of sacks, he has thrown
some turnovers, he's fumbled the ball.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
So there are a lot of negative plays.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
But I feel like when the Eagles are at their
best is when they're not having so many negative plays.
Letting your defense kind of win you the game and eventually, you, Jalen,
you will get the big play, Like let that happen naturally.
Do you stop trying to find it all the time.
And to his credit, Like again I'm saying this, like
the criticisms, I'm a fan of Jalen. I think he's
been a lot better in these areas, especially not as

(16:05):
many negative plays.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's good to me.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I don't always need a positive, huge chunk play, I
just need something. Negative plays hurt teams so much, and
I think Jalen has a tendency to get too many
of those.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Well, But I think as we have seen this season,
we're on especially he's cut down pressing much more of
that big time and with this defense and those home
run heres that we have on the offense, it's a
pretty good combination. And I love the way this team
is growing. It seems a real together team. We have
felt that with every guest we have here at Chickens

(16:38):
and pets, and you see it watching on TV. This
is a team that's really going in the right direction
rather than last year's team, which was kind of stumbling
even though it was ten to one at one point,
you didn't get that same feeling of this team, how
well balanced this is.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
And listen, we're gonna switch gears.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
We'll touch more on the Eagles and looking forward to
next week's game in Los Angeles. And they've got some
tests coming up, and I'm glad to say, and they
passed that first test with Flying Colors against Washington, their
best in division.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
It's a huge tests because I think a big game
like it was, the magnitude of that game was probably
the biggest it's been all season.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
No question, so that at least it was Brazil.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
But I do think Washington has not been playing as
well as of late. So I'm actually more excited about
this upcoming test because it's a really good quarterback with
two very good receivers who just put up an abundance
of points against New England. That's a really fun test
for them. I think that's an interesting test, and I
think they could pass that with Flying Colors.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
But that to me becomes really interesting. That's just the
result of the game.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
I think they should win, but it's more of how
does that really good secondary and pass defense look against
what is a very good pass offense.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
With the Rams.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
And it's on the road and their last three road games.
Eagles wanting like franchise record fashion at.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Least it's the best since they does. It's nineteen forty.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Nine of three straight over twenty point wins on the
road where they're pulling the starters after the third quarters,
almost unheard of in the National Football legaume they did
three straight times. Unlikely that'll have happened in Los Angeles.
But take it on the road and keep doing what
they're doing. And there's good tests ahead too. They'll play Baltimore,
they'll play Pittsburgh, and some really good tests to say

(18:10):
just how good this team might be and how far
they can go. But they're trending in the right direction. Listen,
We're going to go in a different direction ourselves. And boy,
this was a big weekend for a guy who means
a lot in my life, in all of our lives
here at Fox Sports again. But John re Evans, Philadelphia Zone,
Frankfurt High and Bloomsburg's own superstar person and player received

(18:33):
a huge honor. Jerry I was fortunate enough to have
him as my client, to be his agent for his
entire NFL career was twelve beautiful years, eleven with the Saints,
the last one spent with the Green Bay Packers. He
joined the Saints in two thousand and six as a
fourth round pick out of Bloomsburg. Nobody from Bloomsburg at
that point makes the National Football League. Getting to be

(18:55):
a fourth round pick was incredible in and of itself.
Of course, every manager I sold down the road after
I said, I want to pick him in the first round,
but my people wouldn't let.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Me know because that Bloomsburg. It was hard to gage.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
The way things work in the NFL, it was hard
to gauge maybe just how good he was going to be.
But those of the know they knew, and the New
Orleans Saints drafted him the same year they signed Sean
Payton to be their coach and Drew Brees to be
their quarterback, and what ensued over the next decade was
literally probably the best offense in the history of the
Nation Fotball Leaguere's less, that's supported, and joh Ree Evans

(19:30):
was such a foundation of an incredible offensive line.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Drew Brees, of course, is a marquee name.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
And most people were recognized, but Sean Payton has told
me many times that the best player on the Saints
team that won Super Bowl forty four in that whole
decade was Jarry Evans, rat guard from Frankfurt High and
Bloomsburg University and my former partner right here, who put
the All Pro in the All Pro Philly Players Show,

(19:57):
and yesterday he received it.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Even if I could put a pro man and I
don't even get the all But.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
This guy, this guy is not just an incredible it
was not just an incredible football player that passes behind him.
He is now coaching for the New Orleans Saints, and
he's just one of the greatest guys. And John you
got to know him, and Sean Brace and all the
people at Fox Sports and Gambling appreciate what an incredibly
at a smart, fun funny even though his basketball opinions

(20:27):
aren't always on point, and just just a wonderful, down
to earth, amazing person. He still has a huge presence
here in Philadelphia. His lovely wife, Taquia from here and
his two beautiful children and sons at liston Ace are
now four and six. And you know, you don't get
to watch your father play when you're born after his
NFL career, so it's nice to see him, you know

(20:48):
what he really did on the field. So yesterday in
New Orleans, the Saints inducted Jofry Evans.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
As the eighth member in the history of.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
The franchise, only eight into the Ring of Honor for
the New Orleans Saints, and I am so proud of him,
happy for him. And right now we have on the
line the newest inductee into the New Orleans Saints Ring
of Honor, and he's also a member of the.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Saints Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
J R.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Evans.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Jah, you there, what you're up man? Thanks for joining us, Joh.
I'm right in the spot where you and I used
to sit next to each other on Monday nights and
and uh talk talk all sorts of sports. But today
we're talking you obviously. It's it's a good season going
on for the phildelf Eagles, and their game against the

(21:35):
New Orleans Saints had a lot to do with the
direction their season winning and kind of the direction yours
win at the time.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
But right now we're going to talk about what happened.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
What happened at the Dome yesterday, and it was a
successful day for the New Orleans Saints with a victory,
and it was a good victory. Obviously they all are
your second straight since changing head coach.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
But we're talking about that.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Halftime ceremony, and Joe, you had such a fabulous career.
You came out of blooms Is a fourth round pick
and you were never fittings by the National Football League.
You hit the floor running started right away. We're running
up for Offensive Rookie of the Year your first year,
made the All Pro or the All Rookie Team. You
wound up going to six Pro Bowls as a first

(22:15):
team Pro Bowler, four first team All NFL's and one
second team and just accolades that are incredible, and won
a Super Bowl and competed playoff wise, and a whole
bunch of other things.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
So yesterday you were finally recognized, and I.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Don't mean finally, I mean it wasn't there's a pecking
order in time to it, but inducted into the Ring
of Honor and of all the honors you've gotten in
your life. I gotta imagine seeing your name and blazoned
permanently in the Superdome has to be pretty special.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
Yeah. Man, it's very special. It's it's it's elite, you know.
But they surprised me in training camp, but I was
basically just thinking about today's that day's practice and going
out there and the guys, and they got me with
that one. And to see it, you know, my name
up up in the Ring of Honor yesterday with the

(23:08):
family and friends, teammates from the seventy you know, two
seventy three thousand people. It's awesome. It's amazing. I'm super
thankful and grateful to be up there with the elite
to the organization.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
And like you said, man, it'll.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Be up there forever no matter which a super Dome,
people will see it. They're Super Bowl as well. So
it's it's awesome.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
You know. I'm an emotional guy, as you see me
cry a lot over the years.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
But.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Forgetting that far for a second, seeing your name up
there really got me.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
What you saw it and veiled, How did you feel?

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's almost gotten me every time
I think about it, and remember when they told me
in training campus. Uh, it's emotional, but it's you know,
I'm super happy, thankful. It's just it's just a whole
lot of emotions. The biggest, the biggest thing I always
think about it is just how much we want you know,
how many great games we played and won situations during

(24:12):
those games, and you know how many great teammates and
how many records we broke us at offense, and it's
just all of it. You know, you just think about
eleven years. It's just having you know, winning seasons and
always in the huntboard and playing with you know, great players,
teammates and stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
And then you watch guys you know have.

Speaker 5 (24:32):
Success and get paid and go to other teams and
conpee to have success. You know, our organization has has
really drafted very well over you know, these last ten, fifteen,
twenty years, and we've had some great players come through there.
So our era, you know, we won a lot, and
I think it makes it that much special because how

(24:53):
much we want.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
John.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
When we think about your career with the Saints, there
were some you know, particularly great teammates and an amazing
amount of success. I talked about it. I really do
feel that the decade from about six to sixteen was
as good an offensive decade that any team has ever
had in the NFL, and the stats back that up

(25:17):
in a big way. And watching how you were utilized
over the years by the Saints, I never felt that
any team really asked as much of a guard or guards.
I mean, your old teammate Carl Knicks was there with you,
who you won the Super Bowl with. But it was
really an especially incredible burden they put on you because

(25:37):
they knew that you could hold it. And so this
weekend when you were honored it happened. Also, they timed
it with alumni weekend, so you had a whole lot
of the guys you played with and shared that field with,
and that success with their being a partner.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
That must have felt really great.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah it felt awesome. Man. We had, you know, maybe
over fifty alumni come in this weekend, and the organization
does a great job with that and the alumni come back,
and it was made it that much special because the
guys went out there and performed and played well and
got the W. So but yeah, you know, you're right,

(26:16):
I think you could put our stacks and our numbers
up as an offense up against the best in the league.
You know. They some people say, you know, you got
the greatest show on turf, and we played on turf,
but but we had a great show as well. So
you put our numbers up there, I think they match
up with anybody in the league. And our line, you know,
the lines that I played with in our line, you know,

(26:38):
did a great job holding it down.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Jah, you have had some great honors already. You were
already in the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame. You
are in the Louisiana State Hall Fame, and that's no
small honor. That's all sports, all athletes and any money
who ever participated sport in the entire state of Louisiana,
which has had quite some athletes over the years. And
you're also in the Blues Hall of Fame, and there's

(27:01):
more to come. You were a finalist so last year
for the national or for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
That's an incredible honor into and it was only your
second year of eligibility. First of you were semi finals
unless you were a finals in the final fifteen, and
unfortunately you didn't get the cut of the final five.
But we're hoping again that happens this year. It's certainly

(27:21):
very deserving.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, for sure. Man.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
You know, we always been joking the last couple of
years and not saying it's not about it it's going
to happen. It's about when it's going to happen. So
you know, maybe it happened this year.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
A lot of Super Bowls.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Here, so that'd be awesome. And and you know, maybe
hopefully the College Football Hall of Fame someday because gradually,
you know, my k coach is going to the College
Football Hall of Fame this year, coach Danny Hill. So
hopefully I'll be able to join them there there one
day as well.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
I need to ask about Sean Paige because Denver is
almost like recreating this somehow all over again the degree
you guys did. But what was it about Peter What
was it like playing for him that that made him
such a surgical kind of offensive mind.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah, it seems a great play caller. And you know,
he played the game at the quarterback position, and I
think that's how he coaches the game. He knows what,
you know, what he wants the receivers to do, how
many steps he wants them to run? Their route, you know,
and that's the West Coast offinse marrying the quarterback working
in his drop with the receiver steps in the route.

(28:31):
And I think he does a great job at it.
He just has a good, good niche of colleague of
calling play and I think he's seeing their young looking
quarterbacks starting to have some some more success as the
season goes on. And he can move his legs a
little bit too.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
So.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
But coach play, he's a good coach man. He's a
good teacher, and uh, I think good teachers do become
good coaches.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
He's the enemy now so anyway, But they got.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
Play Banks alumni over there as.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Well, the whole bunch with that team. But y'ah, you know,
you go through.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
That whole career in that stage of your life, and
now you're in a different one where you're now husband, father,
and your kids know what you did anecdotally, but they
didn't get to watch it.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
So at List and Ace and Takeya, we're all with
you this weekend.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Your mother was there, your sister, your nephew Lamont who
did the theme song for our show. Everybody was there.
But what was it like for your sons to watch
daddy's name, go up there and be out there on
the field.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
It's awesome. You know, it's great. You know, they didn't
see me play live, but they watch. They got YouTube
and they watch YouTube, and I got all my DVD
so when I played, so they can put.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
That on him for a watch.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
But they enjoyed being out said, they were out there
and I went to the Saint Call of Fame and
got the jacket. And they're a little bit older now,
so we thought there'd be a little nervous, but there
they were a little super stars out there on the field.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Joe, you made the transition from player to coach now
and it's obviously a huge, huge difference. Probably your body
feels a lot better on Mondays than it used to
feel as a player.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
But maybe it doesn't from the years of but.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
But but talk to me and let people know what what's.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
It feel like now to be a coach.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
You're you're a superstar player, you're an all pro, and
then you make that transition to the game that you
know so well and you've you've handled it on one
side and you've studied and watch films, but now you
got to coach it, teach it, devise it, what's what's
the transition like, and how's it going for you down there?

Speaker 5 (30:48):
I love it.

Speaker 6 (30:49):
I enjoy it.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
I got tools to put these guys toolboxes and and
I and I get excited when they use tools and
the things that we talk about and out there and
have success doing it on the field. I mean, I
get gratification on watching those guys, you know, have success
when they're when they're individual battles, you know, and use
those tools at the thee to go out there and

(31:13):
win games. And we got some good players. I think
I was in the vision that has invested in the
offensive line over these last fifteen twenty years. You know,
I will line of like now at the person, I'll
pick points. So you know, those guys are super talented already,
and I enjoyed coaching them. And so guys are putting
putting together good players out there on the field. They

(31:33):
gotta keep it going.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
There's a gripe a little bit that you know, today's
players don't ussarily respect their elders or respect the past enough.
At least your players now know who the hell the
guy is coaching them and how good he was. No,
at least at least your players know how good the
guy coaching them was.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
And when you speak, when you speak, you speak from experience.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Oh yeah, man, those guys are like fus Man. You know,
sometimes I try not to give them. I try not
to give them too much, and then to stop myself, like, hey,
you gotta give them as much as they can handle.
Let them decide what they can handle or not, you
know what I mean. So but but yeah, uh, they
they listened, they enjoyed my input, and they apply it.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
You know, they apply it right away.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
And and I tell them all the time. You know.
The thing. The thing about off of the Line is
you got so many different body types and different different
guys out there. That's something we work for this guy
that doesn't work for that guy. And that's the beauty
of the line. So you know, I tell them, hey,
I'm showing you something that doesn't work for you. Use

(32:43):
what works for you, and don't use what doesn't work
for you. But you know, it's it's awesome. They know
that the stress I've had, you know, I can pull
up film for them and show them sing how I
done things and how they can do them.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
So yeah, it's awful.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
I'm sitting here with John Jansen, and you know he
got the pleasure to work with you as well. We're
talking to Jowreev and bring of honor induct you by
the New Orleans Saints yesterday. And John, there's just so
many things that got touched off.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
In my mind of your career, of your life.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
And one of the things you said, you know, those
guys you're coaching are now like your sons, is you've
crossed into your forties. And I think about the twenty one,
twenty two year old guy I first got to know
coming out of Bloomsburg and watching you play in a
stadium with you know, fifteen hundred two thousand people watching
you and the Peasac and you know, and then you
immediately transitioned to in front of over seventy thousand the

(33:38):
Superdomes of the world, and your first season you made
it to the NFC Championship game at Chicago. Really you
really did that, never being phased by anything. But you
also refer to these guys, you know, you look at
them as your sons, and John, that just makes me
feel so old. I mean you know what, John, when
I first got out, even then I looked at him
as like my son which means these guys twenty years
later basically would be grands.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
And that always surprised me about athletes, you know, twenty
two years old, being unfazed by a lot of the
situations and things. As you just mentioned, all of these,
you know, incredible accomplishments happening so quickly and all of
these things happening so fast. That is a lot to
kind of wrap your mind around. And joh Rae, you
obviously did it in a spectacular way. And that's how
you make great careers by being that kind of person.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
And John, do speak to that, because you know, when
I say that, it's absolutely incredible. You're You're a kid
who grows up in Philadelphia. You're a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
You play at Frankfort High where literally the two or
the nineteen twenty six NFL champions with the Frankfurt Yellow Jackets,
uh played right there at this ice cold field.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
But you go to Bloomsburg Division two.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
You weren't the highest recruited player, could have gone to Temple,
and we'll talk about Temple football maybe a little bit later,
but and you stayed there and you and you were
star I mean back if you were playing now you
probably would win that transfer portal maybe, but it's a
different thing. And You're loyalty was always there, and Bloomsburg
obviously served you well.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
But what was it like coming out of Bloomsburg and
stepping over the field of the NFL that first year? John?

Speaker 3 (35:07):
By the way, Jiy played the Philadelphi Eagles twice. Okay,
so here's a guy out of Philadelphia goes to Division two.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
The Eagles should have drafted him. They traded their draft
pick they had.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
The Eagles had the eleventh pick in the fourth round
and needed a guard, which Jerey was playing.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
The Saints had the second pick in the fourth round.
When that pick came up, I was expecting.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
That the Saints were going to pick him, but the
Eagles traded up with the Saints that day.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
So here I am Philadelphia Asian Philadelphia player.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
You know everybody in the Eagles front office and they
treated The Eagles trade the eleventh pick in the fourth round,
and Hollis Thomas, also a client of mine, to move
up nine slots with the New Orleans Saints and pick
the guy who played the same position as joh Max
jeen Gillis in that spot, Max gen nobody will recognize
that name. He had a cup of coffee with the
Eagles at ji Reevans goes out in the worlds. Not

(35:58):
only does he have a ring of on a career
for the scenes, so a Hall of Fame career for
the scenes already Pro Football Hall of Fame Finals. That
first year, he dominates the Eagles twice, the same team
that he grew up rooting for that could have picked him,
and it should have picked him and traded him away
along with a guy who had a Pro Bowl season
that year and Allas Thomas.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
And he he was unfazed.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
And he kicked their butts twice, once during the season
and again during the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
And John, none of that fazed you. So how was
it that you felt that way?

Speaker 3 (36:26):
How are you so supremely confident and comfortable right away?

Speaker 5 (36:31):
I'm not gonna say it didn't, but I get that,
you know, some a little bit of instant effet, you know,
it was. It was a lot of things that you know.
One I was was a confident player, played with confidence.
I prepare, you know, I had some veterans that that
helped me, quote.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
Me how to prepare.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
I learned how to prepare and then the most and
and the biggest part of that. You know, I just
wanted to be elite. I wanted to be ess that
could be.

Speaker 6 (37:01):
I wanted to be a tough basness.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
So I always had that mentology and uh, you know,
I played the game with a lot of fashion and
it just it just went out that we all got
to the wallings. It was just one of those things
where we were we brought a lot of creatives that year.
Everybody was indeeded. Everybody was trying to make it. You know,
it wasn't like one person's spot was a little five.

(37:25):
The only person spot that truly was a little five
was Probabis uh freezing still horns really so that was
it and obviously ready because it was because it wasn't Bill.
But you know, everybody was grinding and our training campus
flected that. You know, we had guys that that retired.
So you know, when we went through a training camp there,
it was rough and hard about timing of Deton game.

(37:47):
Then we were we were locked and loaded and ready
to go, and you know, we just we just had
a good group and it's all they just started there
and we just kept touch on from there.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Which I you were really a tight group. And and
those were your guys and there's still your guys. And
I love that about it. And you know, love love
the offensive line mentality and the team mentality you always had.
I mean even when you were told that you were
going the Ring of Honor and they caught it all
film for for the Saint's website or whatever they do
down there, and uh, and your first reaction is the

(38:18):
you know, they tell you this honor. In the locker room,
you start talking about what you can do as a
team right now and and and that's who you are.
And it was always always about the get the game,
the winning, and bigger than yourself. And nobody actually though
was bigger than you. So, joh, if you look back
on that amazing twelve year career that has now culminated
with your name being emblazoned in the Mercedes Super Dome

(38:41):
down in Louisiana forever, is there anything that you think
of that stands out when when you think back on
Is there anything in particular that that would be the
number one memory?

Speaker 5 (38:53):
Oh man, number one memory.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
No, it's just it's just, uh, the thing.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
That that I think stands out, it's just the record
breaking times, whether it's you know, Drew.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
Breaking the record or or us scoring.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
How about this, Well, we put up sixty two points
on the coach, how about that? That was? That was
a big one. I think we only punted. I don't
think we punted the whole game. Put up almost seventy
points in the dome.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
That was.

Speaker 5 (39:20):
That was really electric fiying that game. Felt like we
couldn't do any wrong on offense. But yeah, just just
the times we broke records and and uh put up
a lot of points, and that happened pretty often.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Well listen, during that career, of course, you became a
Super Bowl champion of Super Bowl forty four. Ye I
know that ring has disappeared, but you've got the ring
from the Ring of honor. Don't lose that one. It's back,
and there's just a lot, a lot more to go,

(39:56):
both as a coach, to honor your playing career, and
just in a amazing life with your wife Takiya, your
son's Atlas, and as your amazing family Katrine Hopkins, your
mother who got to enjoy it, and everybody who loves you,
which is a lot a lot of people, including us,
myself and John Jansen right here and the whole family
at Fox Sports a game.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
So Jack, congratulations, love you and so so so proud
of you.

Speaker 7 (45:21):
And no, it's not tough.

Speaker 8 (45:24):
It's actually very hard, and then you have to have
a lot of discipline, but the reward is great, so
I gotta do what I gotta do.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
Nothing comes easy, no, And obviously the sport of boxing
is not easy, right, And they're you know, even watching
something and people mocked the Tyson fighting a lot of ways.
It's still two men in the rings and the other
guy trying to take your head off no matter what, right,
and nobody no place to hide.

Speaker 7 (45:51):
And it was a great business move.

Speaker 8 (45:53):
I mean, I see a lot of people on the
internet knocking it and stuff like that, but it made
a ton of money.

Speaker 7 (45:58):
Nobody got seriously injured, and I mean, you can't. You
can't get better publicity than that.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
And we'll talk about it in a second before I
leave your fights that are coming up.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
What I have gathered in my own sort of knowledge
of you over these last few years in our friendship
and relationship and the weight class in that it really
does take going overseas fighting worldwide in your weight class
to get full appreciation, and it's not really appreciated as
much in this country.

Speaker 8 (46:27):
And that's why I'm super excited about that. I believe
I'm getting introduced to a bigger audience and they actually
I believe, in my opinion, they support a lot more
overseas because it's just more to appreciate.

Speaker 7 (46:43):
They don't have the talent that we have here in
the US. So I'm excited about taking my talents over.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
Yeah, show them, show them how it's But Dylan, I'm
a huge boxing fan. The MMA stuff, you know, came
along later. I'm an old school guy, so it doesn't appeal.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
To me as much. And by the way, you're out
of Turner's Ville, New Jersey.

Speaker 5 (47:01):
Yes, do you know you?

Speaker 3 (47:03):
And I have never never brought this up that in
nineteen seventy eight, there was a fighter out of Turnaville
who won a world championship.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Did you ever know that? No, I know, you're shocked
to hear that.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
The guy who went under the nickname the Jewish Bomber
Mike Rossman. And I remember clearly the night he won
his world champion was a middleweight and he fought on
the undercard of a heavyweight championship bout between Leon Spinks
and a guy named Mohammad al Lei and Sphinx beat him.
And I remember clearly the date was September fifteenth, nineteen
seventy eight. Because I was a senior in high school,

(47:33):
was there. I had not really ever drank alcohol. My
friend Elliott had a party and I drank alcohol and
got sick, and I didn't drink alcohol again, probably until
my sophomore year at college.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Learned my lesson.

Speaker 7 (47:45):
I never knew that.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
So anyway, you're the second world champion his Ville, New Jersey.
His career didn't last long, but he went under the
nickname Jewish Bomber. Was it was funny, So go look
him up. And we also have another great fighter in
the crowd, and Price here and part of Team Price,
and and David Price your father trains you, both promotes
and has been all all all along the way orchestrating

(48:10):
the great careers of you and your brother. All Right,
so let's talk about Saturday night and the sport of boxing, because,
like I said.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
I'm an old school guy who loves boxing.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
I was able to watch them that fight I just
told you about with Muhammali that was on Just Network
TV on a Friday night.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
And that's that's how things were back then. There were
there was pay perview.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
The the Ali Frasier flights were paid preview and make
what they call close circuit. It wasn't like pay per
view you got at home. You were to go to
an arena and they put up a big screen and
you watched it on that.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
You have to pay Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (48:43):
It was expensive.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
Like it was like I mean, when I say expensive,
and you gotta you gotta consider the time period, Like
fifty dollars it was just which which a lot. But
that's how that's how they got their purses and things.
It was obviously very very different day. But Muhammad Ali
was and he's known as the greatest. You know, I've
talked about this. He wasn't necessarily technically the greatest boxer whatever,

(49:08):
but he went he promoted himself as the greatest. This
is prior to social media, and he blow himself up
so much on he was a phenomenal fighter, three time
world champion, took the title back Olympic champion.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
I mean he was. I'm not taking anything away from him,
but he got that promotion.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
And so now fast forward, you know, the fifty years
or so later when we have something like Jake Paul.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
So, Jake Paul is a great promoter.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
I mean he's been getting your generation, which is the
YouTube and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Is he a real fighter?

Speaker 8 (49:39):
You tell me No, he's not a real fighter, But
he's a marketing genius, okay, And I don't think nobody
could take that away from him.

Speaker 7 (49:47):
Can he fight? Like he said?

Speaker 8 (49:48):
No, not really, But it's all about the market. I
mean he's doing numbers that boxers didn't even do yet.
So I mean, how could I knock him? You know
what I'm saying, I actually want to take a page
out of his book, to be honest.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
Well, you know, because unfortunately your sport has fallen a
little in this country where the MMA stuff has become
more popular.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
But they've gotten a formula that was almost better than boxing.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
And part of the way boxing has has hurt itself
is the way it has promoted its own accounnibalize, have
the don Kings take advantage of the fighters. So I
know you and your family have tried to take it
back for you and take care of you and your
future generations without being robbed.

Speaker 8 (50:30):
No, you're one hundred percent right. Definitely a dirty business
for sure, but I mean, like any business, you got
to try to figure out how to wiggle your way
around it and do his best for you when yours
at the end.

Speaker 5 (50:41):
Of the day.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
All right, So now you're going to be in training
that I guess you're just starting for the fight that's
coming up in January, and you've never thought overseas before.

Speaker 7 (50:49):
Now I'm extremely excited about that and it's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
But there's also factors that come in of travel and
food and training that will go on in a foreman,
at least in London, everybody's going to speak English, and
then you're going japaying the guitar.

Speaker 7 (51:02):
It's gonna be tough and Japan and guitar, but they're
paying Greek.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
So that's all that matters to me and absolutely, and
so it is a worldwide sport and world titles that
you're paying for. You are now number nine in the world, sir.
I mean, Dylan, that's pretty crazy to be top ten
in the world.

Speaker 8 (51:21):
I mean, it's okay for me. I want that number one.
I'll be satisfied when I'm number one.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
That's very good. Well, listen, thank you so much for
joining us.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Thanks, we'll talk again coming up to the fight and
then with the next three all lined up and I
guess this around six seven months from now that number
one is going to be a real face.

Speaker 7 (51:40):
Yes, sir, I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Ladies.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
John, to make sure you follow Dylan Price out of Turnersville,
New Jersey fighting out of the Red Corner and bring
in your stuff. And truly, if you've never seen a fight,
check him out. You just need to google him and
there's lots of YouTube stuff. Thank you, and guys who
have been on the wrong end of your punches than you.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Joe, Thanks, Thanks is done by and they can't wait
to see you in the ring in London.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
MPI.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
So we had a little different show. John Janssen helped
me out for the first UH forty minutes or so.
Normally you've got an Eagles play with us. But it
was a tough day and we had plenty to talk
about jow Re Evan's inductee to the Ring of Honor
for the New Orleans Saint.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
It's a great win by the Eagles and they'll head
to Los.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Angeles as a three point favorite and a fifty pulling
over Runner till who you got next week?

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Eagles game? Sunday Eagles.

Speaker 7 (52:35):
Eagles?

Speaker 2 (52:36):
I do it every week too.

Speaker 7 (52:39):
Do you think the Eagles gonna pull it off?

Speaker 2 (52:41):
I feel really good about them right now.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
It's a it's a tough test, and the good part
is he built a buffer that they can afford losses.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
But you hope they don't because you want to just
keep gaining on the momentum that they have. And I
know you know a lot of Eagles. I brought you
out to to UH training campus and you got to
see it.

Speaker 7 (52:58):
I mean, you took me to first Eagles. That was
a great experience.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
And you know, obviously their sports a little different than yours.

Speaker 7 (53:04):
Right now, sir, do you think the Eagles have what
it takes to go to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 (53:08):
I do, and John Jansen and I were talking about
it earlier. I do because what they have is an
incredibly strong defense, a very very good offensive seen and
both sides of the.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Ball seem to be getting better. I don't want to
minimize special teams.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Also, I think they have the full package of what
it takes, and they've put themselves in a really really
good position to it's certainly certainly to be in the playoffs,
get a nice seating, and control their own destiny.

Speaker 7 (53:32):
How's Jayalen doing?

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Pretty good? Pretty good?

Speaker 3 (53:35):
