You are listening to the Go Birds podcast.

Welcome in to take command. I'm Craig Hoffman. That is Logan Paulson and joining us right off the top of the pod Logan for our preview

episode. We have Elliott Shore Parks from the Go Birds podcast are sister brother, whatever podcast.

Rival rival. In the Odyssey, our rival.

Pile. Yeah, exactly. In the Odyssey network that covers the Eagles. Elliott, what's up, man? Thanks for coming on the pot.

Thanks for having me on guys. Obviously a big week with Carson, verse, Jalen, but excited to kind of get your guys perspective on the game and you know get someone else's view because here I just know everybody thinks they're going to dominate cars.

Yeah, it's funny. Carson versus Jalen, except for this time they're on opposite teams.

Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Yes. It happened for years, but now there's actually a score.

So let me let me ask you actually about that first and not necessarily Carson Jalen, but the everyone up here thinks we're going to dominate because down here as someone who does a daily talk show.

As it been a super fun week, everyone's like the teams of disaster, even though it's one in one through two weeks, their offense looks fantastic with Carson Wentz.

The way the defense has played it's been it's been kind of a made a situation down here. I imagine going to know in the in the fairly convincing fashion that they have into the line

scheme is obviously a little tight by the end, but but how well they've played. What is the feeling up in Philadelphia this week going into this game?

About the Eagles are about the Eagles and what's going to happen on the field outside of personalities involved just kind of to the results end of things.

Yeah, I think people are really, really excited about this Eagles team coming into the year. I think there was obviously a lot of hype about the roster and I mean Peter King called him a top 10 team even before they played a game.

All those things so I think expectations were high coming in, but I think there was also a bit of some reservation rightfully so I know at least on my end about needing to see it before it became a reality that this could be a super bowl contender, but I think after Monday night people are all in.

Jalen is looked like a much much improved quarterback. The defense had probably its best game. It's had under Jonathan Ganon and people are excited and I do think look it's only two games, but you can say that for every team in the NFL.

I think the Eagles look like legitimate contenders. They look like one of the best teams in the NFC now for this game like the Eagles are better than Washington will just start with that like they're better on both sides of the ball. They have a better quarterback. They have a better coaching staff.

So I don't actually think that it's a competition with the two, but I do think this game specifically is kind of a tough spot just because they are coming off as such a big win Washington's coming off the loss.

And I'll say it like Carson has been pretty good this year and anytime you have good quarterback play, I think you have a chance. So the team itself people are very excited about. I think this game. There's a bit of reservation just because of the spot.

Logan, do you agree with the fact that the Eagles have better everything?

I mean, I picked him the way the division at the beginning of the year, you know, and I think the only thing that's kind of giving me pause quite frankly is Jalen Hertz, you know, and like there is an element of like variance to his game and like this is maybe.

High variance Jalen Hertz, you know, like they played a team in Minnesota that runs a lot of cover three, a lot of kind of open spaces. They didn't really challenge that offense very acutely, which I think is something that, you know, kind of leans into Jalen's favor. Obviously it gets to Troy. They play a lot of man.
