0:34.2	Thank you. session with Greg.
0:49.7	What do you think the Eagles defense needs to do to stop Stafford?
0:56.2	This is an offense that has a number of particular elements to it that you have to be able to defend.
1:01.6	Even though it wasn't the case the other night when they clearly came out throwing, well, I guess that was last night.
1:03.3	God, it seems like about 100 years ago.
1:11.7	Even though they came out last night and threw the ball, it's a team that through the second half of this season was clearly a run-based team as their starting foundation because Kyron Williams had 316 carries and he didn't play in the last game of the season.

1:47.6	Number three, they're a team that is another foundation is what we call reduced splits or cut splits, where the receivers line up closer to the line of scrimmage, which very often makes it difficult to press and requires more
2:04.4	communication on the back end. Do you think there's a potential that they should pivot and let
2:09.6	Jeremiah Trotter Jr. play? I think that Berks will likely start, but I think you'll see Trotter play.
2:15.3	And again, I can't speak to what the, you know, Division of Labor will be, Frank. We don't know that. And, you know, that will depend on
