The coaches' kid has prepared me for these different moments that I've been able to experience throughout my career.

0:08.0

I think, you know, being alongside my dad, seeing how he led, how he was a leader, seeing how my brother handled the situation, seeing how he played the game.

0:20.0

Being a ballboy, like I said, on Osalans throughout, you know, by my childhood, I think that's allowed me to kind of be where I am.

0:33.0

He goes quarterback Jail and Hurts. It's an amazing progression. We weren't really sure as a rookie last year.

0:39.0

He's done enough to earn another year as the starter this year, takes the NFL by storm, was the MVP favorite until he suffered the shorter injury.

0:48.0

I think he's going to finish second in the voting. He was the second team, all pro quarterback behind Patrick Mahoms, and Sky's the limit for a guy who's only three years into his career.

0:57.0

Yeah, it's been amazing what he's done. It really is. He's a great success story. I mean, how can you not root for the guy himself, right?

1:04.0

There's just so much there as a person that you like about him. The way he handles himself, the way he works, he makes no excuses.

1:13.0

You know, I love that aspect about him. He's obviously improved in areas that we questioned, right?

1:18.0

So that's been great to see and just shows you a hard work dedication. What it can do for you that way. I mean, he really is. He's a great story that way.

1:26.0

And he's done great things with this Eagles football team this year. And yeah, he's about to get paid this off season or certainly sometime soon.

1:34.0

One of the cliches that we hear from time to time about football players, Coach's son. Yeah, but it matters.

1:40.0

Yeah, if you understand the game, if you were a coach, if a coach is your father, and if your father coaches you the way you're coached in football, you understand you're receptive.

1:50.0

You become that persona and you don't have to be coached as a result. Once you're a fully formed adult, you have everything you need to go out and coach others in the locker room instead of being the one who's coached.

2:03.0

And I feel like that's where he is. Yeah, I agree. You know, that's why he's the perfect quarterback guy kind of what you talked about.

2:09.0

And you know, we've had these conversations too before, right? Where, hey, it's the family business. Football is what he does.

2:15.0

There's something to yes, that's how he was brought up. That's what, you know, kind of was infused in his brain on a daily basis.

2:22.0

And he of course has taken it to the next level into the NFL and everything he's done there. It's amazing. You know, it's amazing.

2:28.0

The question with Jalen Hertz, though, is just how good is he, right? That's, that's the thing here. And I know I'm kind of looked at as the guy that questions Jalen Hertz, maybe more than the others.

2:37.0

But I think it's a healthy conversation. You know, again, done really good, taken advantage of all the things that are there to be had from the Philadelphia Eagles.

2:44.0

But I also could sit here and go, you know, playing quarterback for the Eagles is also a lot easier than playing quarterback for a lot of the other teams.

2:52.0

Right? I mean, we've talked about some games on Mondays. It's run the ball for eight, run the ball for 10, run the ball for eight, run the ball for 10.
