| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome in to another edition of the Checo Daily. |
| 0:14.2 | Andrew DeCechko here, Eagles beat report for Inside the Birds.com. Be sure to check out the latest WBCB |
| 0:20.8 | Pro Football Report show. It was was myself i hosted it and i was |
| 0:25.1 | joined by eagles on sports illustrated's ed crats who's been covering the eagles for quite some |
| 0:31.4 | time fellow beat reporter great conversation there ed is someone who i've gotten to know quite a bit over the past couple of years. |
| 0:39.6 | And typically somebody that when we're on the road, the Eagles are on the road, |
| 0:43.5 | we like to get together and grab dinner and just a great guy with a lot of really good stories and perspective. |
| 0:49.1 | And it's a good show. |
| 0:50.3 | So be sure to check that one out. |

| 1:29.0 | running the football as well, obviously, one of the better backs in the league. And so having someone |
| 1:33.7 | like the Kobe Dean, who of course is adept at playing the run and just experience, he knows |
| 1:38.4 | how to play the position. I think when you look at Christian McCaffrey in space, someone like Nicobi Dean alongside |
| 1:45.3 | Zach Bond, they are going to be able to handle that well and won't be caught off guard. |
| 1:49.7 | The moment won't be too big for them. |
| 1:51.4 | And I think that's going to be huge when you look at what McCaffrey means to that offense. |
