| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's going on everyone? |
| 0:10.8 | Welcome in to another episode of the Checo Daily, Andrew DeCecho, Eagles beat reporter for |
| 0:15.7 | inside the birds.com today and really going forward until we run through all the position groups, I'm going to outline every position room and highlight every player on the Eagles roster right now. |
| 0:29.6 | And we're going to start with the quarterback room. |
| 0:32.5 | We'll start with quarterback J.1 Hertz. |
| 0:34.5 | This is a big season for him in a new offense where much is going to be |
| 0:39.7 | expected in the way of middle of the field utilization, quick decision-making, ball's got to come out. |
| 0:46.0 | You have to throw with timing and anticipation. You're going to be doing more under center than he's |
| 0:51.0 | ever done at any point in his career, and you're going to have to throw more |
| 0:55.7 | inside the numbers and it's not about doing it he's clearly done that in the past it's about doing it |
| 1:02.5 | with consistency and week to week and not having sort of a low there when he has had to throw in |

| 1:34.2 | tough over the middle, willing participant to mix it up after the catch and attack the catch point. |
| 1:42.9 | He's just a really gritty player and his skill set leans more towards the slot type of profile. |
| 1:47.5 | So that's going to be a player who's going to have to be involved over the middle of the field. |
| 1:48.5 | You have Eli Stowers, who they drafted, the tight end from Vanderbilt, who you really can |
| 1:54.4 | move around, but he can do some damage from the middle of the field, that intermediate |
| 1:59.8 | range. |
| 2:00.9 | So you couple that with Dantevininn-Wix, who's an underneath type of receiver, |
| 2:05.9 | who can separate at the top of his routes. |
| 2:08.3 | He's not a burner, but he can use his body to shield off defenders and work that intermediary level. |
| 2:15.3 | There's a lot of pieces that were added this offseason that really |
