Henry Chisholm here with our all-city draft expert Fran Duffy, which is where all these

Broncos fans probably know you best, Fran. But you're also a Philly guy. You're our Eagles

insider. And I'm excited to talk about this game with you. Yeah, Henry, it's going to be a fun one.

You know, obviously, look, Denver was one of the preseason darlings, I feel like, at least

from our vantage point out here in the East Coast. It was like, all right, like Denver, a sneaky team in the AFC. But obviously, two and two, a big win on Monday night. Excited to see what this team looks like here on a short week. Yeah, no, we are also very excited to see what this team looks like because you can't quite tell what they are yet. And I almost feel the same way about the Eagles.

From an outside perspective, you look at me like, okay, they've been outgained in every game so far in terms of total yardage.

But, you know, they just never actually lose a football game.

And, you know, that's what's actually most important here.

A big picture wise, where are the Eagles right now?

And I mean, just what are the vibes like in Philly? Yeah, it's a loaded question. I think when

you're looking at this team, I mean, look, they have won 18 straight games where Jalen Hertz

starts and finishes. Like 18 straight. And so I think when you're looking at it, it's hard to pick against this team. I think that when you're looking at it it's hard to pick against this

team I think that when you're looking at jalen hertz right now like in a vacuum he's playing

like some of the cleanest football he's ever played which is very hard to reconcile considering

the fact that a j brown is off to a historically bad start for a production standpoint.

Devante Smith has the fewest yards and catches he's ever had to start a season. And Sequin Barkley hasn't hit 90 yards yet. And so when you're looking at it, you're saying like, all right, well, how can all of this be true and Jalen Hertz is playing well? It doesn't make a lot of sense. And as someone who studies like the,

the schematics and the exes knows, it's tough to kind of like say like, oh, it's this one thing. I think there are a lot of little things that kind of come into play. It's a new offensive coordinator. The offensive lines a little bit banged up. They're working in a new right guard. But I mean, they've got 10 pro bowl, literally like 10 pro bowl players on that offense you know nine or 10 pro bowl players on an offense this is an offense that should be performing higher than a mediocre level and so I think when you're looking at it that has certainly fell short of expectations defensively they're coming into the form this is a group that looks really, really strong.

They've got impact players at all three levels.

Quinion Mitchell is playing, you know, as good as any corner not named Pat Sartan in the NFL.

Cooper DeGine is one of the best nickel corners in football.

Jalen Carter, he's banged up.

He had a preseason injury.
