| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome in to another edition of DeCecho Daily. It's Andrew DeCechko here, Eagles beat reporter for Inside the Birds.com. And Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the Eagles announced two transactions |
| 0:22.0 | elevating long snapper Charlie Hewlett and safety Andre Sam from the practice squad. |
| 0:27.6 | They will both be active and available for the Eagles to use. |
| 0:31.6 | And it's important to note that while Andre Sam exhausted his three practice squad elevations |
| 0:37.1 | during the regular season. |
| 0:38.9 | Those reset in the postseason. |
| 0:41.6 | So those are your transactional notes going into this one. |
| 0:45.8 | And while the game kicks off later today, let this podcast serve as the appetizer. |
| 0:53.6 | Despite being curiously overlooked from the 2025 NSC Pro Bowl roster and all pro considerations, |

| 1:32.5 | While man's punting prowess has been on full display, something easy to miss, but just as important, is his ability as a holder on field goals for kicker Jake Elliott. |
| 1:39.3 | Just think back to late last season when the Eagles played the Rams in the divisional round with snow-coating Lincoln Financial Field. |
| 1:44.8 | Man's knack for navigating the conditions and leading the charge in executing the team's emphasis throughout that week when it came to clearing the snow for Elliot is another example. |
| 1:50.1 | To best encapsulate man's impact in that realm, I'm going to read for you a snippet of what |
| 1:55.2 | special teams coordinator Michael Clay had to say Tuesday when talking about man. |
| 2:00.1 | I could talk on and on about Braden, but I think he's done an unbelievable job flipping |
| 2:04.7 | the field, and I still think he has one of the best hands in the NFL when it comes to |
| 2:09.0 | the holding scenario. |
