Hi from the Xfinity Lounge. It is the P. H.L.Y. Eagles kickoff show ahead of the big Super Bowl L-I-X rematch. Bo-Wolf, Jamie Lynch, here to take you through it. We're going to hear from E.J. Smith, who is live at Arrowhead Stadium. We're going to hear from Fran Duffy breaking down an important part of the X's and O's of this matchup. Jamie, how you feeling about the Super Bowl rematch? It's been a long time since we've gotten to watch Eagles play, it feels like. This is such an interesting game because the last time these two face each other,

You destroyed them. And look, it's only one game. It's not like people overreact to week one of the NFL season, but it does, there's like this anxious energy of, I can't wait to find out how this game goes, because I want to know if we broke the chiefs. It does feel like, and I use break relative. Like, they're still going to be better than 70% of the NFL

because of who they have at quarterback. But if the Eagles go out there again today and send a message, I really think the idea of the chief starting 0 and 2, like the offensive possible woes, we'll see what happens today, if the defense keeps them in check. Like there's a lot of things that could be kind of conversational after this game if it goes the birds away.

Yeah, listen, I mean, last time these two teams played, the Eagles defense had one of the best performances you will ever see in your life. Yeah. And like the stats, big picture,

I may not bear that out because, you know, they put up all that garbage time, nonsense yardage. But, I mean, you know, it was like, as the professor has told us,

like 21 consecutive successful players, right? And we can flash up. We can show you how Jalen Hertz, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, compared to Patrick and Holmes in that game. But that doesn't even tell the full picture. Now, this is Jailen Hertz who has played against the Chiefs a bunch in his career.

Fifth time, five years in a row, Nick Siriani. Every year of his existence in the NFL, he has faced the Chiefs. And Jailen Hertz has played very well, against the Chiefs. I mean, of course, we all remember the Super Bowl game in which they lost, and Jalen Hertz probably outplayed Patrick Mahomes in that game. But to me, yeah, like the two players,

well, there are three players who I think are just, you know, very much in focus for the Eagles in this game. On offense, it is Jalen Hertz. Let's see how he does. As always, against Patrick Mahomes, coming off of that Super Bowl performance and coming off a great performance in week one against the Cowboys. Obviously, we want to know how A.J. Brown looks on this offense. It's a big storyline. You know, does he have more than one catch? I would hope so. And then on other side of the ball, you know, Jalen Carter coming off of his six seconds of hell, what's he going to look like going up against a Chiefs offensive line that has some very good players in the interior, but can be had in general. Yeah, I think those are going to be heavily

discussed in our post game show. Jalen Carter and the trickle-down effect on the rest of the line. Zadarius Smith is going to be in the mix a little bit today. So we'll see how that goes. But I would imagine that Jailix Hunt and Nolan Smith's lives become a lot easier. with just Jalen Carter's sheer presence in there. And one of the last images we saw, it's a great Eagles all-time photo, was Jalen Carter smushing Patrick Mahomes, right, in his face mask. So if you need a smile today, just look up that photo.

But Jalen Carter being back, hopefully calm some of the fears. I think maybe we, others people in the building had last week after kind of a slow edge rushing start. All right, let's get to the inactives for this game. Tanner McKee is an. active, but is the designated third quarterback, which is a bit of an improvement off of last week when he was just declared out. He's still working his way back from the finger injury. You see Aziz

O'Jolari and Ogbo Okaranko both down for the second week in a row, but that means that Zadaria Smith is active for this game and will play at least some on defense spot behind Nolan Smith and Jalick's Hunt with Josh Ushay as well. Will Shipley is injured. He's got those ribs. He is down, but the newcomer Tank Bigsby will make his Eagles debut. We'll see if he is the primary kickoff returner in this game. Drew Kendall is down. And then, of course, the big one here, Dallas Goddard, not playing in this game.

Cameron Latu promoted from the practice squad for this game. He will join Grant-Kalcatera and Kylan Granson. And then you also have Marcus Epps being promoted from the practice squad for this game. What's the big concern for you there, Jamie? Dallas-Ratert. Yeah. You know, I know you guys went over on the show on Thursday, but his effect not only in the passing game,

but in the pass protection game and the running game. Dallas Goddard is an excellent blocker. You know, you lose something there. And Saquan Barkley, it was one of the few teams that kept him in check last year. So if you're losing your best edge blocker in the run game, how much of an effect does it have there? So the Dallas Goddard won to me is pretty massive.

And it's not just me. I think anybody with two eyes that watches football can see the impact. Yeah, I mean, as you said, last time these two teams played, the Chiefs were able to, you know, corral, Sequin, and Barclay. But even beyond that, Dallas Goddard was the most effective player in the passing game for the Eagles last week. Now they're going to have to lean on Devante Smith and AJ Brown.

We will see if they can get that done. All right, time for a quick break. And on the other side, we're going to check in with E.J. Smith, our Eagles insider to find out what he can tell us from Arrowhead. Hopefully, as you are watching us here, you've got a good internet setup and you're not just at some jabroni's house who has got a

Back on the P.H.O.I. Eagles kickoff show presented by Bet365 and Ashley. And as we await E.J. Smith, listen, Kansas City, it's kind of like, you know, it's no Philadelphia. So their Wi-Fi is not as good. They don't have Xfinity.

Well, they need Xfinity. It's not Xfinity country, clearly. Right. And so EJ's having problems because he's got fanfished by the Chief Stadium. By the Hunt family. So as we await E.J. joining us on the Xfinity mobile call online. Let's talk a little bit more about Mahomes and Jalen Hertz, the last two times, last time that these two guys...

This is turning into like a pretty great rivalry because both these guys usually play pretty... I mean, Jalen Hertz plays some of his best ball against me. And you look at that stat, and this is from the Super Bowl. And it looks like they played a pretty even game. I mean, come on. Nobody thinks that that was the case. Now, the rushing yards play a big deal there. And I think the rushing yards will play a big game, a big factor in this game, Jamie.

The two guys here led the NFL in first downs off scrambles last week. Both of them tied for five. And with Patrick Mahomes not having Xavier Worthy and Rashi Rice in this game, You know, we've got Tyquan Thornton and Juju Smith-Schuster and Hollywood Brown. Tick-Tock boy. There's going to be a real importance for the Eagles defense on making sure that Patrick Mahomes as a scrambler does not get after them. Yeah, and we've talked about it, you know, a lot this week, what Zach Bonn and Jihad Campbell bring to the middle of the field. And I would imagine, you know, Uncle Vic does want to keep an eye on those kind of backbreaking third-down scrambles that Mahomes can get with you.

So, again, a lot of people are going to have eyes on Bonn and Jehawks. hot in the middle of the field there. How do they handle? And I saw a pretty funny comment in the chat. I think it was old dirty yams said, why was Travis Kelsey dressed up like a toddler at a wedding today with the top half

suit and the bottom half shorts? I feel like you could pull that off. No, I would never. No? But Travis Kelsey looks like his age finally. Okay. You know what I mean? He looks a little bit slower out there.

I think, you know, like, I think he finally looks normal. I don't want to say he's easy to keep in check. He is their top option. So we'll see. But Bonn and Jahad are probably going to have a huge impact on this game. The one worry in the back of my mind, Bo, and you can tell me this is silly if you want. But Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are 21 and 4 in their career together,

straight up coming off a loss. So like right now I think the Eagles have the advantage. If you stack it in most categories here, but that does like just linger in the back of my mind like they don't often lose two in a row they certainly don't lose three in a row so like i wonder if nature just kind of has a little bit of an impact on the game there well and probably the um the skeptic in you is wondering if you know if the league is going to tilt it on the show yeah yeah yeah if jalen carter's anywhere near my own today it's going to be like ruffing the passer so you know you kind of have to play a controlled mental game today i think uh a little bit just because i feel serious Rihani himself was not able to do last time they went to Kansas City. Yeah, yeah. So we'll see. But yeah, Mahomes, you don't want to see any of those like third and eight pickups, those scrambles.

Hopefully Bonn and Jihad can chase him down. All right. Well, while we wait for E.J., let's instead turn the page here to an important part of the game for the defense. And we haven't yet talked about Cooper DeGine, who was obviously such a huge part of that Super Bowl victory. Fran Duffy, our real answer to know his expert. and a very handsome guy, breaks down how that happened and what it might mean for the game today

here on the PHA by Eagles pregame show. All right, so as we get ready for this Super Bowl rematch, there's a lot going on here in Eagles land and obviously a lot to be talked about with the cornerback position. And one part of that discussion is whether or not Cooper DeGine should move from the slot outside to CB2 opposite Quinnion and Mitchell.

Now, when we're having this discussion, I thought, what better way to take a look at what Cooper DeGine brings and to look at the pivotal play from last year's Super Bowl, his pick six against the Kansas City Chiefs. One of the things that I love about Cooper DeGine, it's one of his superpowers is his awareness in zone coverage. It showed up last year as a rookie, and it showed up during his college career at Iowa as well.

Again, we'll take a look. First half here, you can see that the Eagles are now in cover four. It's quarters coverage where you're going to have four defenders spread out across the deep part of the field with three defenders underneath. You have Cooper de Gene right up top there. He is responsible for the curl to flat area. So just inside the numbers out towards the sideline, Zach Bonn responsible for the middle of the field.

Now, Kansas City on this play, they're going to roll Patrick Mahomes to his right. So he's going to essentially cut the field in half, and they are flooding the zone. It's a great way to be able to attack zone coverage as you put multiple receivers into that area. You're putting a guy like Cooper DeGine into conflict because if he's responsible for one area,

and you're putting two or three receivers to that area, he can't guard everybody, right? So that's what Kansas City is trying to do here. It's a version of a three-level stretch where you've got receivers short, intermediate, and vertical, and then you've got a last receiver coming in, almost like a safety valve for the quarterback very late in the progression. Now, what happens here on this play is that Zach Bond recognizes very quickly

what's going to happen. And he ends up running with the running back to the flat. Hey, you know what, they're going to roll out. I'm going to make sure that I take this underneath route away, that's going to free up Cooper Dijin. Now, again, one of his superpowers, one of Cooper Degines' best traits is his understanding of zone concepts. And most guys in this scenario,

seeing that Zach Bond crosses his face is going to run to the sideline, he might just kind of float there and say, I'm going to get underneath that route towards the sideline. I'm responsible for that curl to flat area. So this is, I'm just going to stay in my zone. I'm not going to worry about it. But what I love here about Cooper Dijin is that once he gets this part of the down, Patrick Mahomes is getting ready to get rid of this ball.

Underneath routes taken away. De Jean takes away this intermediate route. You've got the deep corner. Everybody's taken away. Cooper Jean knows at this point in the progression. Patrick Mahomes is going to try and make a play, and that play is likely to come from this receiver on the back side of the route. So you've got three receivers all flooding the zone.

I've got to get into that pass lane. So Cooper DeGine steps in front of this play. We know the rest. He takes it back to the house. Eagles win the Super Bowl. So I think when you're talking about moving Cooper's, Dijin from the inside in the slot to the outside. Yes, he could still make plays like that. He did it at Iowa. He was primarily an outside corner. He could make those plays in zone coverage.

Eagles fans, he'd been watching this team for a long time. You think back to Asante Samuel, a great off zone corner. You can jump routes and make plays in zone coverage as a corner on the outside. That said, in today's game, where teams, where offenses are getting so good at attacking the middle of the field, and you think about it, you're Cooper Eugene, you're a nickel corner, you're working in tandem with both safeties. You're working with the corners on the outside. You're working with the linebackers in the middle of the field. To remove that connective tissue from the middle and put him outside,

you want to make sure you have a good answer. So that's why it's not just as simple as all right. We're just going to take Kruber regime and slide him out. That might be the path that the Eagles take, but they will have a lot to think about before they make that call. Well, it is Sunday, and you know what that means.

Joining us now on the Xfinity Mobile call-in line. For the moment, at least. Our Eagles Insider, E.J. Smith, with a bright red, microphone. What's up, BJ?

Is this going to be a weekly trend? Like you're going to find something that some color in my shot that you're going to keep doing it, yeah. Favorable to the opposing team. I'm not going to throw my wife under the bus this time. Actually, I can throw the other Julia under the bus because who do you think of me this is Mike?

Wow. That's a good point, yeah. You know, Julia comes back early from her time off to run this podcast course today. Do all the game day stuff. And that's the thanks she gets from you? Well, this is on you. You're the one that brought up the mic.

Fair point. No, you could have taken the fall. You could have been a big of man. No, no, no. Be your own man, Belle. All right, E.J., what's the word from Arrowhead? We've seen the enactives. We've talked about that.

But give us the sense of how you think about this as we approach kickoff to the Super Bowl rematch. Yeah, so really quick, just a very like real time update. Adori Jackson and Andrew McCuba were the two starters with the base defense. And I know, I note the base defense because that is a change for Andrew McCuba. So I'd expect to see a lot of him today. And in general, like, you know, the thing that stands out walking to the stadium today, it is hot here. It is legitimately warm. It's about 90 degrees.

It's windy. So I don't know, you know, that's maybe a little bit of relief. But in Arrowhead, it's so. Yeah, it's a weird combo, but I know the weather forecast that I saw, there are gusts up to 20 miles an hour. And if you look at the flags on the pylon, the flags outside the stadium, they are definitely blowing around pretty hard. So definitely a weird weather day here. But again, the wind factor, I don't think it's going to be as dramatic because Arrowhead is so vertical. You know, it is almost like a dome in the sense of like it's very enclosed.

So, so yeah, those are some of the updates I have for you. Jake Elliott hit a 64-yarder during pregame. I think maybe benefiting from the wind a little bit, swirling around the stadium, but yeah, definitely an encouraging one for Jake Elliott there. I was watching him very closely in warm-ups today. EJ, real quick,

what percentage of the stadium or tailgators do you think are wearing green today? So the stadium, I might give it like 20, 30%. There's definitely an Eagles contingent. It's not the most ridiculous Eagles road game. Like, you know, percentage I've seen. I mean, when you think about FedEx or SoFi Stadium, I mean, it can get to like 60, 70%.

But yeah, I'd say the Eagles, are represented here for sure. Can I go back to the base defense? Because why would a Jerry Jackson be out there instead of Kubrick-Dijin? Oh, you know what? That's a good point. But, okay, so let me rephrase that. Andrew McCuba was out there for the base defense. Adori Jackson was out for the nickel defense. That's a good catch by you. Yeah. Okay. I'm not trying to call you out. I just want to make sure that they haven't made it. No, no, it's a good, it's a good, it's a good delineation. I meant, yeah. Yeah, I just met with the first team defense, I saw both of those guys. But yeah, that's a good point that when they were in base,

It was, I think the base one with Andrew McCubes on that was more of the standout. What kind of impact or, like, leash do you expect for Zadaria Smith today? Yeah, you know, it's hard to say he was out here very early, two and a half hours before the game. He's part of the, like, grounding crew, like the guys who come out pregame without their shoes on. He took like a long lap around the stadium. I'd expect to see him some, especially, you know, he cleared that first hurdle. But the fact that Azizzo Jolari and Ogbo, O'Koronkwell are both. an act that kind of speaks to the fact that he could play a few snaps.

And I don't know, again, I don't expect to see him maybe in his normal, that what he's going to grow into that role. But I do think we'll see him a decent amount today. As I see the Cowboys have pulled ahead of the Giants in that game. This game's crazy. What's that? That game is crazy. How about them, Cowboys, E.J.

Does that reframe how you feel about the Eagles win last week? No. Okay. You? Maybe a little bit. I mean, well, you've always been pretty bullish on the Cowboys. So I'm saying. Yeah.

But what I'm saying is this isn't a convincing. I mean, if they'd come out and beat the Giants handily, would have maybe informed a little bit differently the week one performance. So, E.J, when we're talking in the postgame show here, last time Sequin Barkley faced this team, he talked about it in the locker room on Thursday. They were kind of like the only team to. Keep them in check a little bit.

Are we having that same discussion again in the post game show, or does Seekwon look like Seekwon out there today? I'd expect Seekwon to look like Seekwan. I mean, there's only so much you can do if the Chiefs do completely sell out against the run. But I don't know, I just, especially with the way the Chiefs looked in week one, I think the Eagles offense has so many matchup advantages. If they do sell out to stop Seekwan, I think they have real implications on the back end. So, you know, I think more or most of the time, like Sequin has said before, that, you know, it's not like teams haven't been selling out to stop him, you know, dating back to last season.

So I think the Eagles should still be able to get the run game going. The Cheaps run defense is not, you know, necessarily convincing as long as you can't deal with guys like Chris Jones and George Karloff. So I'd still expect Seekworn to have a decent day. But really the match upon most watching or most paying attention to is that those matchups on the perimeter, you know, AJ Brown, Devante Smith. I feel like those two, you know, their ability to win against that chief secondary could be the difference in the game. All right, E.J. Well, we look forward to talking to you in the postgame show. Thank you very much for joining us.

Hopefully by then the Hunt family will have paid their wireless bill. They need Xfinity. You got fanfished. I did. I did. This is like a real life scenario. Did we have a prediction from you? Yeah, I didn't write one this week.

I got to do a better job with that. I'm going to go 31, 21, 21 Eagles, which is a little bit of a flip-flop. I had the Chiefs going into the season, but the way they looked in Brazil, I feel like the Eagles have a talent advantage to win this one. 31-21, all right. E.J. Smith, our Eagles inside.

We will talk to you in about four hours. The red mic's not going anywhere. All right. Now, by the way, I see some of the action. in the chat. We love to see those custom emojis from those of you who have taken the plunge and joined the Supporters Club. You can do that as well.

For the real ones, true sickle-level stuff. We like to say you get access to exclusive content and those custom emojis. By the way, there's a behind-the-scenes, Brandon Graham supporters club piece of content up there for you. So not only do you get to support Bo

and myself, most importantly, Julia, but you get behind-the-scenes Brandon Graham footage. You get to do guys, an emoji form. And you get a literal badge of honor that says how long you've been a supporter here. So it's a no-brainer. And we will also tell you this is a big month for our friends at Big Brothers Big Sisters, our partners. And we are pushing you if you have the time. If you can do it. Become a big. Why not? Make a difference with so much going on in the world. This is a place where you can really make a difference in your community, our good friends at Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

It takes just a little. the most rewarding thing I would imagine a human can do, you know. Let's see. Supporters Club. Do them both. Yeah, do them both. Become a big and then, you know,

join the supporters club. It's a win-win. All right. Jamie, let's get to our best bets. Now, both of us, we lost all 100 units last week.

So that's okay. Not a great start to the year. We got 16 more weeks to make up for it. Yeah. So let's kick things off. Where do you start? I will kick it off with, I just have to find my little notes here. I'm going to go with Sequin Barclay.

And not the way you're thinking. I'm not going to touch the rushing yards today, Bo. I'm going to go with the receiving yards. Over 14 and a half. I'm going to put 25 units on Sequin. I think it's going to come in one play. I like this one for you, Jamie, because I actually thought that this was one way that the offense looked different from its bones last week was that there seemed to be a little bit more of

an allowance for Sequin to just sort of be out on a route. Yeah. And all he has to do is make one guy miss and he can get 15 yards like that. So I'm going with Sequin there. I do think they're going to force the narrative a little bit. I think they want A.J. Brown smiling. So I'm going to go with A.J. Brown anytime touchdown.

I'm going to put a little 50 unit spot on that. And then to close it out, I think there's going to be elements of a shootout at times today, especially if the Chiefs get it going against a Dory Jackson. So I'm going to go Jalen Hurts over his past. passing yards, 209 and a half. I'll put my remaining 25 units on that. Jamie,

Russell Wilson hit Malik Neighbors for a 48-yard touchdown after the Cowboys took the lead. And so it looks like the Giants are going to steal one there, 25 seconds. Wow. I say, I mean, the chat is going nuts about it. Neighbors is nasty. He is. He is very good. He is filthy.

My best bets here. Now, I'm also leaning into the AJ Brown. Real quick, this is kind of like best case scenario, right? because this is going to assure Ross, like a couple more weeks. You're probably right. Yeah. Okay. I mean, it's not good for my spread your wins and fly.

I want it to get a win here. That's okay. The real important stuff. So I think I have AJ Brown's first catch under nine and a half yards. So this is, I just, I think the Eagles are just going to foresee the ball through the ball. A quick pass to start things off. And that makes sense. 25 units on that bad boy.

I have Jalen Hertz over one and a half passing touchdowns in this game. I feel like maybe a little bit of a zag in the red zone. and also in service of getting AJ Brown and Devante Smith happy. I can see that. 25 units on that bad boy. And then listen, this one has burned me many times in the past, Jamie, but I'm doing it again.

Jahan Dotson over, I believe, 11 and a half receiving yards, 50 units on the dot man. Going big on Dotson. Here we go. Oh, love it. I mean, you got to be bold sometimes. Got to be bold. And John Dotson is bold. Make sure you're using code

PHLY 365 at sign up for new users and Bo on the homepage of that 365 right now. You can see the PHLY Eagles custom boost. It started plus 650. It's down to plus 600. But they're, going to be up there every week from us here at PHLY. So make sure you're checking that out. All right, my friend. Prediction time. I've gone back and forth on this because of will the chiefs really be 0 and 2 to start an NFL season? Does Raj and his men? mad mind and his script to allow that to happen. I think it does happen for the

first time. And I'm going to be peacocking around the studio saying that the chiefs are dead and the Eagles killed them. I'm going with the birds 34, Chiefs 24, a little 10 point victory. Not too far off of the, yeah.

I just think that, I don't know, Jalen Hertz, I feel like he like conquered them between the years. Like, I don't, I don't think, it's not like big scary Patrick Mahomes anymore. It's like we've normalized them. Okay. I'm not willing to go that far.

And I do think that the Eagles offense is, is going to struggle a little bit today. I think that the impact of Dallas Goddard makes a difference. And I still, I need to see that A.J. Brown looks right. Yeah. Before I believe it is going to be fully A.J. Brown. And so I think this game is going to play out almost like the first Super Bowl did. The Eagles are going to have a league. It's not going to be quite as high scoring.

It's going to be, let's say, the Eagles are up 26 to 20. And Patrick Mahomes is going to lead a fourth quarter, very slow trip-draft drive. And he's going to give the chiefs a lead 27, 26, with about 45 seconds left. But this time, Jailen Hertz is going to get the ball back. And Jalen Hertz is going to lead a field goal drive. Jake Elliott, we're going to see. Jake the make return and he's going to hit a 56 yard field goal. Wow. Very specific.

To win the game. Very specific. 29, 27 birds. I'll take it. There you go. Julius is spanning herself. Yeah. 56 yarder. What made you settle on 56? I'm sure it was a lot of analysis. No, just the truth. I just saw vision.

The mind's eye. Yeah, you got to trust the mind's eye. All right. Well, hopefully for all of you, that's how it plays out. Hopefully for me, that would be the second week. in a row that I didn't know how you guys nailed the score precisely last week. We didn't do enough celebrating that. We didn't actually celebrate you. That was commendable. That we should have had a cake. A cake or a parade or something like that. What's your top cake? Ice cream cake? Yeah, that's mine. Yeah. I feel like it's a little bit of a cop-out, but it's just so bleeping. Otherwise, yellow cake, I would say. Ooh, yeah, that's good. Yeah. My mom makes a lemon blueberry

pound cake that I would throw in the mix, yeah. Okay. But yeah, ice cream cake all the way. All right. I like that. Let us know on the chat. What's your favorite cake?
