Hey, everybody, welcome to the Eagle Eye podcast, brought to you by Nissan.

Ruben Frank still out in Canton for Eric Allen's enthrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. With me today, Barrett Brooks. Barrett, how you doing, man? Hey, I'm not Rube. I'm sorry. I'll do my best. I'll do my best. I appreciate you jumping in. Looking forward to hearing Roob stories from Canton. Can't wait. Yeah, it's got to be very cool. I talked to him a little bit yesterday. She was like he's having a good time. EA's enjoying himself out there, which is cool. Very much deserving of the honor. Right, right, right, right. Looking forward to hearing Roob's stories when he comes back. The Eagles were on the practice field today, day seven, full pads. It was a long practice just under two hours.

So I want to kind of go through some observations, get your take on some of these things,

Barrett.

And then later on, we want to talk to some Micah Parsons.

Just before we stepped in the room, we saw the tweet that Micah put out requesting a trade.

So kind of a crazy situation down in Dallas.

And then later in the pod, I want to go through the Eagles rookies so far, what we've seen

through seven practices, where we think they might be headed. But let's start with some notes from

practice today. Injury report, no Zach Bonn, Devonte Smith, Nolan Smith, Terrace Marshall, E.J. Jenkins, the two newcomers on the injury report, Mack McWilliams and Ben Van Sumeran. Tough injury for Mac McWilliams. He's been playing pretty well. Yeah, they've been plugging them in. His second team and third teams, you know, so, you know, it's hard to make the club in the tub. And, you know, even though he's his draft pick, we do have some really talented guys in that secondary. So we'll see where that comes. He seems to be a Vic Fangio favorite, though. So looking forward to getting him back. Ben Van Sumerin had the injury. We saw it's an ankle for him, which is better than a knee. I think that was the initial fear because he had the knee injury last year,

at least when we were, Sumeran had the injury. We saw it's an ankle for him, which is better than a knee.

I think that was the initial fear because he had the knee injury last year, at least when we were watching it. We're like, oh man, I hope that that isn't his knee. It's an ankle. So hopefully he won't be out too long. A good bit of injury news, Andrew McCuba was a limited participant today. So he was in shorts and shells the rest of of the team in full pads. So he wasn't quite back all the way. I didn't do any team drills. But at least he's trending in the right direction. It doesn't look like he's going to miss a ton of time. Well, I mean, he can't afford to, you know, right now his position right now is one of the positions that they desperately need to fill and to figure out who's going to be the number one. Sydney Brown's fighting and, you know, he, he, he wants that position just as bad as McCuba does. Maccuba does those days he did miss. It could be something that could hurt him. So he's got to get back, get full speed, you know, and even though you're watching film, it still doesn't change what you do on the field, you know, get that muscle memory of it, you know, and just get instinctual, more instinctual being on the field as opposed to watching on film. Yeah, so we'll see. Hopefully he's back in full team drill soon because, yeah, it is a, yeah, it's a big deal if he misses a lot of time. and Vic Fangio is set as much. Like those reps are, they're king. So you need to get back on the field.

Hopefully he'll be back. I wonder if we'll be able to play in the preseason game on Thursday. That would be big. I don't know if the timing will work out for that, but it'll be good to see him. Everybody's not like Coop, man. Cooper de Gene. he was able to come in after the fourth game, come in that fifth week and be great.

You know, we can't expect that from everybody. not like coop man cooper de jean he was able to come in after the fourth game coming in that fifth

week and yeah be great you know we can't expect that from everybody yeah uh depth chart stuff to

oh i should mention nick syriani is sick he was supposed to do a press conference today and he

couldn't do it uh he didn't make it out on the football field he didn't look great so uh at least

it was cooler today well he sucked it up huh did you ever have a training camp practice in weather this cool least it was cooler today. Oh, you sucked it up, huh? Did you ever have a training camp practice in weather this cool?

No.

It was 66 degrees when they started practice today.

This can't be, you know, I'm that get off the lawn, old man.

You know, camp wasn't like this when I, it was never like.
