Inside the Birds is back.

What's going on, everybody.

It's Jeff Mosher, Adam Kaplan, and preseason game number one for the Eagles is in the books.

You'll be happy to know that they beat the Bengals just in case you didn't watch until the end.

But the win, the score, that doesn't matter.

There were a lot of developments on offense, on defense, and we're going to talk about it in this podcast.

Myself, Adam Kaplan.

And Adam, let's start off with some of the,

some of the things that really jumped out offensively. Because I'm, I don't try, you know,

we don't try to put too much into the preseason, but it is really, really hard when you just

evaluate sort of individual effort as far as a quarterback throws rhythm comfort knowledge you know reading

progaret tanner mckee just continues to check off so many boxes he's a really interesting

prospect at this point adam he is let's go inside what happens so tanner mckee and while you

might call him a pure pocket passer, he definitely is a pocket passer.

I always look at stuff that most reporters don't look for.

I look at other parts of his game that needed to be improved from year one to two and two to three.

And the big thing with him was pocket mobility, which we saw much better last year.

We saw it against the Giants.

And then I think it was the first target to Darius Cooper. I think it was actually, it might

have been the first target where he got rushed. He evaded the rusher and then he moved to his

right and threw it to his right. That was a great threat. That's a big time play because on your point, because there's really no blitzing or if there are, the Eagles blitz a little bit. But bottom line, there's no game planning. Someone blitz is that there's a reason for it. They're trying to get something. They're trying to do something with their backups and try some stuff, whatever, the case may be.

But Nicky was just amazing.
