| 0:07.0 | What's going on, everybody? Let's go. Let's get into it. Let's get on the clock as we are now ready for the next chapter in the Go Birds on the clock series. |
| 0:17.1 | And we're going to talk about a position today that I don't think really I've heard any |
| 0:21.5 | Eagles fans talk about, certainly not on a on a larger scale. I'm sure there's some of you |
| 0:26.5 | sickos out there that have been diving into to this position. But we've talked about quarterback by |
| 0:31.5 | now. We've talked about receiver. We know they're going to look at offensive line, defensive line, |

| 1:16.5 | And then they have Carson's deal, but he's more of a fullback. |

| 1:21.9 | And we know ultimately the offense, but especially the running game, will be as good as the |
| 1:26.8 | offensive line. And I'm |
| 1:27.8 | excited to dive into the offensive line prospects with you guys. That's a critical position for this |
