| 0:00.0 | What's happening, everyone. |
| 0:10.4 | Welcome into another episode of the Checo Daily, Andrew DeCecho Eagles beat reporter for |
| 0:14.7 | Inside the Birds.com. |
| 0:16.4 | The positional preview series continues on. |
| 0:19.1 | We're looking at the defensive side now, specifically the group of |
| 0:23.0 | pass rushers that the Eagles are taking with them into training camp. And it's headlined by |
| 0:28.6 | Jonathan Grenard. We'll talk about him. I've talked a lot about Jonathan Grenard, but just to kind of |
| 0:34.8 | cover all the bases here, the Eagles top of the rotation pass rusher, |
| 0:39.6 | I believe that that was their best offseason addition, a better pure pass rusher than Jalen Phillips. |
| 0:45.3 | I think that's fair to say. |
| 0:46.7 | While I do believe that Jalen Phillips gives you a little bit more in terms of run defense and an overall size and power, |

| 0:58.0 | Yes, he's turning 29 later this month, but I think he still has another level that he can |
| 1:04.5 | reach 38 career sacks, 77 games, but a quick, twitchy type of player coming off a down season, the left shoulder |
| 1:13.5 | injury that shortened his 20-25 campaign to 12 games. |
| 1:18.5 | He had three sacks last year. |
| 1:20.1 | But if you watch Jonathan Granard play from any of the games from last season, you saw a player that didn't have a lot of drop off |
| 1:29.7 | when it comes to get off and pressure and quality rushes. So that to me indicates that the |
| 1:35.9 | Eagles are getting the version of Jonathan Grenard, assuming that shoulder is fully healed, |
| 1:41.4 | that was wreaking havoc around the NFL in 2023 and 24 where he combined |
| 1:47.3 | for 24 and a half sacks. He headlines this group. They're in good shape there. Then you have |
| 1:53.9 | Jaylux Hunt, who's entering his third season. Jaylux Hunt to me is on the cusp of breaking out. |
