0:00.0	Hey, what's going on, everybody.
0:11.0	Welcome into another edition of the Checo Daily.
0:13.4	It's Andrew DeCechko here, Eagles beat reporter for Inside the Birds.com.
0:17.8	Today is Wednesday.
0:19.6	And everything, as I mentioned, is a little bit different this week
0:22.7	because the Eagles play on Monday night.
0:25.1	And you're going to hear some of the takeaways that I have from Vic Fangio,
