| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's going on everybody? |
| 0:11.2 | Welcome in to another edition of the Checo Daily. |
| 0:13.9 | Andrew DeCechko here, Eagles beat reporter for inside the birds.com. |
| 0:18.0 | Sunday morning, it was announced that the Eagles and special Teams Coordinator Michael Clay agreed to a reunion. Michael Clay had an expiring contract. He |
| 0:26.9 | interviewed earlier in the week with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the same job, but he |
| 0:32.5 | will remain in Philadelphia. Good news there, because Michael Clay is a respected coach, who I believe gets the most out of the players that he's working with at a position as at a unit that generally has yearly turnover. I think he's done a really good job of maximizing the players at his disposal. |
| 0:51.3 | Two players this season. One special teams player of the week for the NFC |
| 0:56.0 | for the Eagles, Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter. And I think when you look at the season that |

| 1:45.7 | But credit the Eagles and their belief in Michael Clay for allowing him to see it through. |
| 1:51.3 | And that kind of goes to my point where you got to sometimes exercise some patience when it |
| 1:57.0 | comes to coaches. |
| 1:57.9 | Everybody wants to swap someone out after one year if it doesn't work. |
| 2:02.2 | Certain, not everything is created equal. There are certain times where that's warranted. |
| 2:07.9 | But if you're seeing something from the coach behind the scenes and maybe you're looking at some |
