We were not expecting to a pod until next week, the Eagles got a win on Thursday night, and we figured,

we'll see everyone, have a good weekend. Not so fast.

It never seems to work out the way we plan it. It never does. This is an emergency Eagle

I podcast brought to you by Nissan, Ruben Frank, and Dave Zangaro. The Eagles signed a veteran

edge rusher, really defensive end, a bigger-bodied guys

with Darius Smith has played 10 years in the NFL. This is year 11 for the former fourth-round

pick. This is a somewhat significant signing. It is, and he's a guy who's been on the street.

Usually that means he wasn't in the offers he wanted when you're an older veteran

and you're not playing.

A guy who had production last year and he's been a good player, a three-time pro bowler.

When he's not with a team, when he's not on a roster, it usually means money.

So you bring him in and I don't know how long it's going to take to get him going

because he hasn't been in a camp. I don't know what kind of shape he keeps himself in,

but he's a guy that's better than what they have behind Nolan and Jalix. And we've said it

Dave all summer and all offseason that if there's one area, how he's most likely to add is going to be at pass rusher.

And no sacks in the opener.

First time since 2003, Eagles didn't have a sack on opening day.

They need some help there.

And you would think that Derry Smithith can can be that help yeah they

got close a little bit in that opening there did not get deck to the ground so zadaria smith will turn

33 on september 8th he has a birthday coming up he will be the oldest defensive player on this roster

aguel o'coranqu. Right now has that mantle.
