| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's happening, everyone. |
| 0:10.7 | Welcome into another episode of DeCecho Daily, Andrew DeCecho, Eagles beat reporter for |
| 0:15.4 | Inside the Birds.com here. |
| 0:17.4 | And I hope you enjoyed part one of my Eagles way too early 53 man roster projection. |
| 0:23.7 | I just did the offense yesterday. |
| 0:25.9 | Today will be about the defense and I have to say there is a lot at play here. |

| 1:34.0 | And all it's going to take is a flash or two in the preseason. |
| 1:38.1 | And if he were to part with them, I would imagine that there will be teams lining up to bring him into their building and hope that they |
| 1:44.3 | are the team that can get the most out of them. I don't believe the Eagles would take that risk. |
