| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's going on, everybody. |
| 0:10.7 | Welcome in to another edition of DeCecho Daily. |
| 0:13.9 | Andrew DeCecho here, Eagles beat reporter for Inside the Birds.com. |
| 0:17.6 | And the Eagles on Monday hired an offensive line coach that being Chris Cooper who spent |
| 0:23.8 | the past four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings has an interesting background which we're |

| 1:44.6 | They have two really good tackles. |
| 1:46.5 | The problem for the Vikings in recent years has been interior pressure. |
