We're just a few days away from Eagles 49ers.

0:17.4

Rub, I'm getting pretty excited.

0:18.9

Yeah, you know, there's a billboard on 95 South just before

0:21.2

you get to Broad Street that has, it counts down the days and hours until the Eagles play. So driving down, it's like three days, six hours. I'm like, whoa, this is really happening soon. So it's exciting time. It is an exciting time. Exciting podcast here, the Eagle Eye podcast, brought to you by Nissan, Ruben Frank, and Dave

0:37.8

Zangaro.

0:38.7

A lot to get to today.

0:40.5

We're going to go through Eagles 49ers matchups.

0:42.9

We have a bunch of questions lined up from you guys at home.

0:46.3

A bunch of head coaching opportunities available right now.

0:50.3

1:45.0

He's been fine, but there's just a different group with Lane Johnson. Both playing wise, leadership-wise, I mean, he's the key to everything on that O-line. It was funny. I asked Jordan Milato what he missed most. And he actually said just Lane being funny on the field. And I'll say, that's fair. But I think they missed his play as well. And you know,
