| 0:00.0 | Wentz firing and it is caught. Isn't a touchdown? Is it a touch yet? It is. |
| 0:08.5 | Caught in the fourth quarter of the end zone. It is a touchdown and they are surrounding |
| 0:14.8 | as the pass goes deep into the end zone to Greg Ward. |
| 0:22.5 | Nice little throw there by Carson Wentz into the end zone to Greg Ward. Nice little throw there by Carson Wentz into the end zone to Greg Ward for the touchdown |
| 0:26.5 | against Washington. The Eagles came roaring back, left for dead in the NFC East, won the division. |
| 0:32.6 | And yes, Chris, I did it. I put him in the top 10. And here's why. This team, if healthy, is one of the top |
| 0:40.0 | three or four in the NFL. The challenge is getting them healthy and keeping them healthy. |
| 0:46.7 | They got them healthy in the offseason. Training camp starts. We're already having the same issues. |
| 0:52.0 | And at some point, you have to, I think, look around at your strength and conditioning programs, flexibility, diet, something. Maybe they need to bring back the Chip Kelly smoothies for crying out loud. Guys are getting injured too frequently in Philly. But if they could ever get their best 11 on each side of the ball, they're a force to be reckoned with. And if it happens this year, they're going to be one of the last teams standing in the NFC. I don't disagree with much of what you said there. I'm not sure I'd put them in the top three or four, but yeah, definitely like dancing around that top five, six. You're right when they're healthy. Out of the fact, we saw a quarterback who we now know and listen i already knew but i hope the |
| 1:30.3 | rest of the public knows he can carry the team on his back that's special it's special if the |
| 1:35.6 | play fails the players fail whatever it is philadelphia can rest easy and go yeah we'll still be |
| 1:41.8 | able to create some offense because we got this big freak number 11, |
| 1:45.1 | Carson Wentz, back here. So they have to be excited about that. And you're right. Injuries decimated |
| 1:50.2 | them last year. You know, I think so much of the coaching staff, you know, Jim Schwartz, a D coordinator, |
| 1:56.3 | Doug Peterson, the head coach, the offensive coordinator, They got a great way about them, a great |
| 2:00.8 | energy as a football team. And the injuries, you know, led to their destruction last year as far |
| 2:07.3 | as them having to fight through some tough times and barely get into the playoffs. But I do think |
| 2:12.2 | they've really, since the Super Bowl to now, have done a phenomenal job of kind of reorganizing their |
| 2:19.8 | roster. You know, it wasn't like a rebuild or anything like that, but they've flipped a lot |
| 2:24.4 | of positions, have some new pieces in there. And Mike, I think even to your injury point, |
| 2:29.8 | or injury point, have covered their butts a little bit this year with, wait, if DeShon |
| 2:34.9 | Jackson gets hurt, we can't let that happen again. It ruined our offense last year. Oh, |
