Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody and welcome to the P.H.O.I. Eagles podcast on a loopy Tuesday, live from the Xfinity Studio, and presented by Bet365 and Ashley Bow Wolf, E.J. Smith. We talked this morning. Now I get to sit next to you in person. How are you doing? I'm doing well. I noticed that my camera was kind of blurry at times during the interview. Oh, it was like beautiful early on. But then towards the end, you know what it was? I feel like it was probably like my internet. and my camera were like, we're really going to do it today. Like, we're going to go like 4K resolution. And then they like lost, they petered out by the end. It's like, oh, man.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Good word, good word. Petered out? Yeah. I like a petered out. I like a peter. That's good. I need to clarify something at the top of the show. You just said EJ's 8.
Starting point is 00:00:50 We are on precarious ground here. We need to be very careful in how we frame this conceit for the show. Okay? This is an EJ's 8. This is an homage to one shield Capadia and the Capadia family. family as a whole, we are doing this because it's a great idea that Sheal came up with. Okay. It's not an EJ.
Starting point is 00:01:11 It's not EJ's eight. This is really derivative of Chil Kapadia of the Ringersville's really special. And I don't want any problems. Listen, there is no, I agree with you that there is no one that I'm more scared of than Naya. Yeah, exactly. We agree. But I give Naya the credit. Sure.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Sheel's not the only person who ever came up with a similar idea. I'm like so afraid of Naya that I don't even want. to like mention Naya. I just want to show respect to the family as a whole. And this is why, this is why you've demurred and you went from the EJ 11, which was one better. Now you're going to EJ8. You're giving. Couldn't possibly come up with so many topics. Yeah. But you know what? He does the ZB3. So at some point, it's, you know, he's sharing it. He wants everyone to do it. I texted him this morning. I was like, I want you to know that we're doing this. I need you to be okay with it. And he said, we'll see what Naya says. Okay, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Yeah, so I'm a little scared. But yeah, I got eight Eagles topics for you. We have a little bit of nonsense mixed in there, naturally. I think it would be a good bit if you came in tomorrow with like a painted black eye. That would be funny. It's not a physical fear. It's like, no, I know. It's a mental, emotional warfare, you know?
Starting point is 00:02:20 We're treading lightly. Yes, we showed the necessary respect, I think. But yeah, we got eight Eagles topics, some questions, some that I think, you know, we've discussed roundabout, but a couple that we haven't. And this actually brings me to another thing that I wanted to ask you is, do you know what today is? You do because I text. Today is the 25th anniversary of Randy Johnson hitting that bird. Is it actually?
Starting point is 00:02:44 Yes. I will never forget that. Man, Randy Johnson. Shout out to Devo, our pitching coach. We were on our spring training baseball trip down in Florida. And Devo, great old baseball guy. What is Devo short for? Devin Chenzo, I believe.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Okay. Great. loved, he was, he was all about the change up when he was right, you know, in high school, kids can't hit a change up. Great grip for it. Love, love Devo. And he comes out,
Starting point is 00:03:11 and very like, low-key guy. And I have never seen him so fired up. He comes out, he's like in his boxers, like, like, you guys got to see what just happened.
Starting point is 00:03:21 You guys got to see what just happened. Never forget. Devo, it's funny, not to the, sorry, I took a lot from that story, but Devo was the thing that I need to get off my chest.
Starting point is 00:03:29 The guy from Love is Blind, whose name is Devante, went by Devo. Really hated that. Really hated that. I mean, go up by whatever you want, but Devo for Devante is tough. I'm with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Do you know Devo sang the song, Whip it? I didn't know that. Whip it good. Okay. There you go. It's also the one year anniversary of me making a guest appearance on the show. Who knows? Maybe that led to me being here in the first place.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Who knows? Who knows? That was not your first. It wasn't my first. Were your first time in studio, though? No, because the first time I was in studio, I wore that cow shirt. It's like a floral shirt with like brown. I'll find it and send it to Lindsay by the end of the show.
Starting point is 00:04:11 It's like a floral shirt with like brown. It's like a white shirt with brown flower like patterns. Yeah. And it kind of looks like a cow. It's a nice, I like the shirt. It's a loud shirt. And there's a commercial about the shirt now. And it makes me mad because it's kind of like making a mockery of the shirt that I bought.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yeah. You got to learn here. this is your opportunity to take that mockery and turn it around and be proud about it. You wear it five days in a row, all of a sudden it becomes a thing. You know, I should have learned that from being a co-host with you. I don't remember this shirt. I'll find it. I think.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I'll try to find it. Shout out to Kim from Reitas in the chat. Oh, yeah. Kim from Reitas. I mean, he's just Kim. He's our Kim. He's Kim from Reitas. Yeah, Kim from Reidas, but Kim from Wawa, too.
Starting point is 00:04:57 He's Kim from Redis, canonically. Canonically. Okay. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. Okay. Don't reduce Kim, though. She's a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:05:05 He's great. He's great. She's from Rita's. We are off to a raging start. All right. Do you want to pick a number? Yes. For starters.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I guess I do I need to explain the conceit of this, this. You have eight topics. Yeah. I'm going to pick a number and we're going to go through them that way. So we don't know which direction this show is going to go in. It makes it fun. I'm starting with number seven. Number seven.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Seven. You know what? This would be a great opportunity to do the Wawa What's Brewing segment. Wawa, what's brewing? Shout out to our friends at Wawa. Let's talk about what's brewing at number seven. Here, what we got?
Starting point is 00:05:47 I'm almost wondering if you knew the list because this is the main topic of the show, which is which Eagles free agent signing has the best chance of being this year's version of Zach Bonn. Did you know the list? No. Okay. I feel like you do this a lot where you think I'm a lot sneakier than I am where you think
Starting point is 00:06:09 just always on guard. You're always worried that I knew something before it happened. You're just like, how do I say this lovingly? You are just so yourself when you do know something early. All right. This is tough because Zach Bonn is such a unicorn. situation. This is not like a guy they expected to have a role and then was even better than the role that they expected. This is a guy who, you know, was barely just going to make the
Starting point is 00:06:44 team and then turned into the best linebacker in football. It's an insane reach. So I appreciate they concede to the question, but let's run through the options here. You know, Rick Will is too good for this to be him. Probably, right? I mean, in a world where he is the best cornerback in football, I mean, because that could also be the Zach Bond framing, which is you went, you can't, you sign on the one year approve of deal and you became the best at your position in that year. I think that's also a fair way to say you'd become the next Zach Bond. Even that still, I feel like wouldn't be quite analogous to Zach Bond, but if it's just
Starting point is 00:07:17 just going to be the overperformer. I think that's the way that you can sneak Rick Willen into this. Okay. Honestly, I think even Arnold Ebikady is too good? If he had double digit sacks, well, not double digit. If he became the best edge rushing in the NFL. Yeah, sure. You turn into a Pro Bowl edge rushing.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Yeah. I think that is probably the, that's the right framing there. I don't, I don't think it's possible for Hollywood Brown. I think there's just, there's too much evidence of who he is. I don't think there's as much ceiling there as you might like to hope at wide receiver. And so it's sort of, like, I don't think Stone Smart. I mean, you could, you could put him in there if he becomes like, you know, top 10 tied in. I think Stone Smart is a better bet than Johnny Munt on this front.
Starting point is 00:08:03 You hate Johnny Munt, man. I don't hate Johnny Munt, but. The real ones, though, he's going to be a pro bowler. So, yeah, I'm going to say that this comes down, oh, that's interesting, but I think he's played too much. Jonathan Jones is a possibility. Like, what if Jonathan Jones just became the starter and was good? On the outside.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah. But I think the narrowest comparison here is probably J.T. Gray. Because he's a special team's guy. Has any, he's never started a game at safety. Yeah. Has he played the snaps? And then like what if he gets thrown into the mix? And all of a sudden he can play the position.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He's a little bit old. Yeah, but say like he's not, yeah, he's not the upside play. I'm wondering how many defensive snaps. I think maybe it's, I would, I think, I think. He played 39 defensive snaps in 2024 for the Saints. It's the Saints connection too. I think I think with the conceit of the question, it's got to be, it's got to be J.T. Gray, Stone Smarter,
Starting point is 00:09:08 Damien Pierce. Damien Pierce, I don't think it's possible. If you discounted Hollywood Brown, you're discounting Damien Pierce as well. I know because I think running backs could have a kind of a random blips season. It's just like an opportunity though. Like he's... I mean, this would require Sequin Barkley suffering like a season ending injury. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And Damien Pierce becoming the bell cow. Can I throw a wild card in there that you haven't considered? Yeah, please. Michael Carter. Could he move to safety? Yeah, but it's his re-signing. That's why I didn't count him. I mean, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:38 He was technically assigning. I wouldn't count it as a Zach Bond, but I appreciate the conceit. I mean, yeah, just because we're all, we're trying to hit, we're trying to hit the Zach Bond analogy from different angles. I had to make sure I said that carefully. And with Michael Carter, it's a position swap. You know, he goes from slot cornerbacks to safety. Maybe he becomes a above league average.
Starting point is 00:10:01 I mean, he probably would have to be a pro bowl safety to fit the, the, the Zach Bond comparison. Could he become a pro bowl safety? Probably not, but we would have said the same thing about Zach Bond when he signed it. So maybe from the position change aspect, he would have been my pick. I think that's a good one. And here's the other thing. As much as we poo-poo the initial Zach Bond signing as they didn't see this as an outcome, which is true,
Starting point is 00:10:30 they did sign him early in free agency. They had targeted him and made him a low-level priority. So, you know, it's not totally dissimilar with what they did with Michael Carter. Yeah. Yeah. And again, I want to make it clear. Nobody is saying that these guys are going to be the best at their position next season. It's just, you know, it's a fun thought experiment to go through. That's a good one. I like J.T. Gray. Gray. I think that there is something there about like...
Starting point is 00:10:52 Yeah, I think he's probably... He's probably been too many places for it to be on the table. But he just has never really had an opportunity. But, I mean, presumably for a reason, right? Yeah, you would presume for a reason, but the same way... It's like, again, Zach Bond, there's like one Zach Bond. from the standpoint of he just hasn't played much safety in the NFL, maybe Vic Fangio thinks that that's translatable. How did he get two and a half sacks in 2022?
Starting point is 00:11:19 Interesting. How do you get sacks if you've only, he played 28 defensive snaps in 2022? Really? Yeah, so how did you have sex on those 28 snaps? I mean, do they count, does it count as a sack if you like tackle the punter? If it was like a, yeah, okay, it's possible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:35 How did he tackle the punter? We got to crunch the film Maybe on the ad break Are you going NFL pro? No, I'm going to True Media Okay Yeah, we'll have to do some research on that
Starting point is 00:11:46 But yeah, I think like I like Michael Carter as like a dark horse Zach Bond cop What if Johnny Munt becomes the starting tight end I just like Is he gonna be like Is he gonna catch 50 passes Or something like that?
Starting point is 00:11:59 I don't know I think he's the tight end He's a third tight end I think you were a little dismissive of Rik Wollin as a possibility. I just don't, they're paying him a lot of money. They're paying him to be a very good player.
Starting point is 00:12:11 The Zach Bond is like, the ceiling, I guess the bar would be very high for him to fit the Zach Bond comparison. He'd have to be an all pro. But I mean, you think he's going to get 12 interceptions. Okay, these are all, these are all quarterbacks who J.T. Gray sacked in 2022. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Now, three different games too. And they're all, I'm trying to think here. They're all still playing quarterback. Okay. And they are all right now going to be starters this season. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I do want me to guess? Sure. It's not that exciting. Bryce Young. No, but there were two different quarterbacks on that same team. This was the year before they got Bryce Young.
Starting point is 00:13:01 It wasn't Andy Dalton, was it? Andy Dalton. No, no, sorry, not Ann Dalton. No, before that. This is where it's going to be tough. Sam Darnold. and Baker Mayfield. I would have gotten Baker Mayfield
Starting point is 00:13:12 if you gave me enough time. I was going through NFC South quarterback. Also Gino Smith. So against the Raiders? Sorry, the Seahawks. Against Seahawks, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Wow. Three sacks. Two and a half. Two and a half, but still, I mean, I'll round up for him. I'll give him that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:31 How did he do that? We have to watch the film on that. Okay. Maybe J.T. Gray's got some juice that we're not familiar with. Maybe they're going to move him to edge rusher. That's the, maybe that's the Zach Bonn.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Moving to linebacker. He's pretty small. He can be the new Nkobie Dean. He's, hey, six foot, 200 pounds. How much weight would he have to begin to play linebacker? 20. Yeah, it's probably not gonna have it. Not a 30 years old.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I like him as a dark course safety. That's fun. JT stands for one, Tavius Tavon. And you feel like, Tavius Tavon. It's an interesting, um, alliteration? Alliteration, yes. I like that.
Starting point is 00:14:08 John, but it's John. Taivus? Juan Tavius. Juan Tavis. Yeah. A strong name. Good name. Yeah. I mean, gray is like such a short last name. You gotta make, you gotta compensate. I can respect that. Any other, any other, are there any other votes in the chat for different Zach Bonn? I saw Carson Steele in the chat. I like that. P.J. Walker. What does P.J. Walker have to do with anything. I like PJ Walker. Although I have a funny story about P.J. Walker.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Okay. CDP will appreciate this. PJ Walker. I covered him when he was a temple. You know, I wouldn't say like we had like an amazing relationship but you know I got to cover him for a year and they had a great season and I always like PJ Walker because he's kind of like a unheralded recruit who came in and won the job and they had really good seasons with him and you know so I'd always considered myself kind of a fan of PJ Walker as he went through his career and then just one day he comes out and he's like I don't want to be PJ anymore like you can call me Philip and they were like why and he goes I mean I'm an adult now like what am I I can't be PJ forever You know, like an initial name.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Like, I got to grow up eventually. I'm like, excuse me? Like, what are you talking about? Everything. It's totally fine. And I think he's reverted back to being PJ Walker again. So as an inner child. It's like, oh, once you turn 20, you can't be PJ anymore.
Starting point is 00:15:29 You can't have an initial name as an adult. That's ridiculous. It's very funny. Really, a shot across my bow. Well, good for you for staying true. Probably E.J. Never lose. Never lose.
Starting point is 00:15:39 little E.J. inside you. I don't like that. I wasn't. See, the thing is I wasn't E.J. when I was a kid. If you knew me before I turned like 11, you still probably call me Ernest. Or, believe it or not, little Ernest. That's right. Little E.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Not little. I guess some people call me Little E. No, but never Ernie. Yeah, I was never a fan of Ernie. Like, I'm upset now that we talked about it because people will start calling me it. And I don't like that. How about Earn? I don't go by Earn.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Your dad goes by Big Earn? No, we do know an Earn, is what I would say. Friend of the family. Oh, yeah. Okay. It'll go by, good guy. Good stuff. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:32 Select plans only. Restrictions apply. Hello, we're back on the PHA YGOs podcast. We've got seven more topics to get to. Sevens down. Let's do three. Okay. Number three.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I lost my numbers. I don't know how that happened. And of course, shout out to Naya and Lila. We love you. Number three is a fun one. I want you to blind rank the following movies,
Starting point is 00:18:59 and I'm going to give you the caveat up top that I'm going to watch your number one pick on the flight to Phoenix for the owners. Oh, okay. But hold on. Blind rank means... I'm going to give them to you one by one. And how many are there?
Starting point is 00:19:11 there are five there are five okay all right and shout out to Sean Syed who helped me compile this list
Starting point is 00:19:19 okay so number one Hamnet is this me ranking it for myself or this is recommending it for you um
Starting point is 00:19:30 I don't know you can do it for yourself but just keep in mind that I'll I don't care I'll watch whatever I'll watch your favorite I'm not recommending
Starting point is 00:19:39 Hamlet to you though um what is that supposed to me. I don't think it's up your alley. What is that, what is that supposed to mean? You have to explain these movies to me now. Not all of them, but why can't, why can I, why wouldn't I enjoy Hamnet?
Starting point is 00:19:54 I'm not saying you wouldn't enjoy it. It's just wouldn't be my first pick for your type of movie. Now I will watch it and I will tell you if I'm going to put, I'm, I'm assuming that the rest of these are going to be all like best picture noms from this year. Now I don't know if we're going to get, the ones that I would definitely have above it. I'm going to hold some space for that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I'm going to put him in at three just because I don't know what's to come. Okay. What about taste of things? Ooh. Now that's a movie that's Sean recommended to me, and I love that movie. Yeah. He nailed that.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I think you would like taste of things, actually. All right. And don't tell me anything about it. Okay. Yeah. But I'm going to put it at number two. Okay. Number three.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I think you will also struggle with this one. I think you might be happy that this one's coming up. Begonia? I like Begonia. I don't recommend Begonia for you. Knowing your general queasiness. What's it about? It's not up your alley.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Okay. I like Begonia, but for you, I'm putting it at number five. Number five? Okay. All right. Next one. Petit Moma. What a brilliant movie.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Love that. I mean, wrecked me. It's a perfect movie. It's short. I don't want you bawling on the plane necessarily. So because of that, I'm going to put it at four,
Starting point is 00:21:43 but I do think that you should watch that movie. Okay. All right, your final movie. I'm disappointed because I've already seen this one. It's F1. Okay. So Bo Wolf's favorite movie, number one movie, is F1. You know, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Honorable mention from Sean was friendship. But yeah, you know what? He knew you didn't like it. Yeah. Yeah. As a general fan of, I think you should leave, friendship was just enough for me.
Starting point is 00:22:26 I'm very disappointed that now I will have to watch the F1 movie again on the plane. Well, you don't. You can watch the next movie. You can watch the highest ranked movie that you haven't seen so far. I will probably watch the highest rank that I haven't seen so far. I'll bend the rules a little bit. Although, I did enjoy F1. Slowest smooth, smooth as fast.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Now that's Honey Hayes. There you go. All right, what's your next number? Let's do number five. I hope you're keeping track of which ones haven't been used yet. Number five. All right, Peck Ness Migrate. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Baseball opening day, the first weekend of March Madness, and the group stage of the World Cup. Oh, you have one day versus four days versus like two weeks. Yeah. But it doesn't change the fact that it's going to be different for different people. Some people, baseball opening day is like the pinnacle, especially it means it's getting warm outside. You know, it's like kind of like a hopeful day. So even though it's one day, it's a good day.
Starting point is 00:23:33 I mean, I love baseball. I love baseball opening day. And by the way, remember that as opening day approaches on Thursday, we've got the debut of our Phillies show, the P.H.O.I. Phillies podcast with Jamie and Corey Seidman launching tomorrow morning. Can't wait. Not morning? It's noon. Noon.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Tomorrow at noon. It's still the morning for some of us. It's the morning for me. For the West Coast too. With Cuzz pitching in as well. Don't miss that. The debut. Very excited.
Starting point is 00:24:03 It's supposed to be nice weather on Thursday too. Nice. But you're going to migrate opening day. I'm going to migrate opening day because it's one of 162. I mean, I love opening day. I love baseball, but of these three things, I can get other baseball games. I can't get other March minus opening weekends. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:20 I can't get other. And the group stage is the best part of the World Cup. So unfortunately I have to migrate opening day. Yeah. Which corrupt organization do you back? The NCAA or FIFA. I feel like I'm going to choose to nest the group stage because nesting March minus opening weekend, it's too much.
Starting point is 00:24:54 It's like the appeal of the opening weekend is. the indulgence of there's games on all day long and there's always something happening. I feel like if that was happening year round, it would be overwhelming. Yeah. I agree with you on nesting the World Cup group stage. I mean, it's just a special event. Only one every four years. The whole world cares about it.
Starting point is 00:25:17 It's very fun. I would peck baseball opening day. I just, I like the energy that it brings. And the games feel important. I know they are one of 62, but when you're watching, the games. It's just, it's like electric. And again, I like, I like what it signals is coming. Summer, warmth. Baseball's on TV. I love like a Sunday game. You know, I know you, you ask me
Starting point is 00:25:40 who my, like, who the Philly I'm most excited about is? And I kind of nagged you there a little bit. I was like, we'll see how the team is first. But, no, I love, I love like what it means when we finally get opening day. Okay. Good answer. Yeah. Let's do number one. Okay, you're going through all the nonsense So we're going to have a backloaded Eagle show I promise to those of you who don't want the nonsense Yeah If you could have one non-athletic skill for 24 hours
Starting point is 00:26:09 You talked about an athletic skill on the morning show Good job filling in for Anthony by the way That was fun Yeah, you're negative VG? Natural Yeah, and Bree And Bree, yes One non-athletic skill A big Porsche fan, Bree, respect that
Starting point is 00:26:22 Yeah, what would you pick as you're non-athletic So you only get it for 24 hours I want to see some entries in the chat too 24 hours is tough and by the way let's keep this PG everybody especially you I was trying to figure out the right way to word it
Starting point is 00:26:40 so that you wouldn't make it weird so PG I don't need any help there 24 hours is tough because if I could like add one thing one skill it would be like like waking up early being an early person fully rested and that would be a nice skill to add to my yeah i thought
Starting point is 00:27:03 about arsenal not being but one day is not going to do that yeah for me um one day mine's gonna like be really disappointing to you you want mine first yeah go ahead if i like could only have it for 24 hours i would want to like become like the most skilled day trader in the world just make as much money in the 24 hours as i could make okay And then I'd buy a house that's closer to the studio. You don't have to be that skilled of a day trader. All you have to do is have insight information from the government. I was going to say you're going to finish your message.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Stock market mastery. Just trade on that. Yeah. Then there's your money. There's no skill involved. Well, I mean, it's also illegal. So do it in the legal way. Illegal.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Okay. Davis Covey says he would be the best diplomat. Matt in the world and achieve world peace. There's a good answer. You think you could do that one day? If you're the best in the world. I would hope. If you could, then I would do that as well.
Starting point is 00:28:13 I was a little selfish with my answer. I agree, Claire, it is a CB answer. Yeah, I don't know. I would be the world's best scientist and invented time machine. Like, I don't know. I don't know if you could do that in 24 hours, even if you were.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Also, time machine. Keep that in mind for some of the prompts later. Oh, okay. I don't have a good answer here 24 hours Yeah There's nothing you'd want to do You wouldn't want to like
Starting point is 00:28:41 I mean I'd love to like learn to fly but Is that athletic? It's not athletic I guess You could fly for 24 hours Where would you go? I just fly from city to city And tell people Boy are my arms tired
Starting point is 00:28:56 All right I do have an Eagles related question All right Let's get an Eagles one in here Do you want me to just Pick one? Number four. Number four.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Okay, this would be a good one that we could do on the other side of the break, actually. Okay. Which young player do you think could take the leap we expected from Kili Ringo a summer ago? So I think you could probably call it like the Moro a Jomo leap. Which young player on the Eagles roster is going to be a major contributor next season? Is likely to make it or would be the best case for the Eagles? Why don't you do both? I think that's because they're different, I would say.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Like, who would you pick to have that more a jo-mo leap for the Eagles next year? Okay. Yeah. Let's noodle on that. Everybody think about it and join us in two minutes.

Starting point is 00:31:55 We're going back. Let's do it. Yeah. Yeah. Some kind of artistic skill. So whether that's like I become a great painter or sculptor or something like that, That's a skill that I don't have that I would love to tap into. Yeah, so you could paint something that you could hang up in your house
Starting point is 00:32:10 and you could know that you painted it. That's true. You're at the peak of your powers. I like that. You know, as somebody who knows how to play guitar, it didn't really do. Actually, yeah, a musical skill would be...
Starting point is 00:32:21 Playing guitar for like 24 hours, though. That wouldn't be that much fun. Yeah, but you get to feel what it's like. I think that would be cool. Yeah, I don't know if it's all that. I mean, I'm not... You're rocking a crowd. You know, I'm not Tom Mish, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:32 I don't know if it's worth... Like only having that skill for 24 hours. Well, hopefully you get to do it in front of a crowd. If I could play piano like at like a 90th percentile level for 24 hours only, I probably would do that. I would like go to like the most fancy piano store and just play beautiful pianos. Yeah, I would do that.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I think that's the move. I can play. My heart will go on from Titanic on the piano. Really? Impressive. That's bad. Somebody was the other day talking about doing that on the recorder. They can do that on the recorder.
Starting point is 00:33:07 How many recorders do you have in your house? Classic middle school instrument, yeah. Maybe one. We don't really. Give it time. All right. The young players who could make the leap that you wanted Kili Ringo to make last season. So I think for this, are we saying that it has to be someone who wasn't already a starter?
Starting point is 00:33:27 Yeah. Yeah, for the Kili Ringo part of the experiment. Because otherwise you'd say what, Jailix Hunt? Oh, I think, I think you're thinking more McCub. Okay. So, I mean, you know, if Jalax Hunt takes a leap from really good to like, you know, pro-bowl level, obviously that would be the most impactful thing. That would be great. I think that's a little bit different.
Starting point is 00:33:49 I think he's already proven enough to have graduated from the ring-o line. Someone who waited in the wings last year. Now, I don't actually do think, I think Macuba is not too far a field from this. He did start, like 13 games this year. But it's still theoretical to some degree. and I think if he ascended to like a truly above average starting safety that would go a long way for the Eagles defense
Starting point is 00:34:11 but if we graduate beyond him I think there are I think there are six candidates here wow you got six already yes okay I see one so I think the top one is Jahad Campbell yeah does he count yeah does he count
Starting point is 00:34:28 I'll give him to you because you know how many like he Lee he didn't start many games the year before but he played in a few. He started four games in 2023. Yeah. Yeah. I'll give you Jahad.
Starting point is 00:34:44 I think that's the, if you want to say who's the likeliest, if he counts, that's the likeliest one. And then you're thinking about, you know, backups. And these guys are not ticketed for roles
Starting point is 00:34:53 except for potentially one. But you go, Smile Mondin, like let's say, you know, he steps in and takes over and becomes a starting linebacker for somebody getting injured.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Yeah. Cam Williams and Drew Kendall. I had Cam, I had Cam Williams and Drew Kendall on my list. I think those might be best case scenarios for the Eagles, actually. Well, the problem with best case scenario for them means that that means that someone got hurt. Not necessarily. But if, well, yeah, I mean, for them to.
Starting point is 00:35:17 If Cam Williams comes into camp and is a really good looking swing tackle, that would be fantastic for them. Yeah. And in the sense of like, even if they don't play, if he looks awesome in camp and it's like, this guy looks like a starter in the NFL, again, this is like super high range outcome for Cam Williams. like do you then say like we have our lane johnson's successor yeah even i think very small percentage chance not saying that's real yeah yeah but if he's fred johnson that's a that's a home run outcome very good outcome uh drew kendall we've talked about quite a bit um there's a there's there's a possibility that he could be thought of as a future starter for this team even at center with maybe
Starting point is 00:35:59 jurgents moving to guard i think he's maybe more like among the more likely ones yeah i'd say yeah I think Willie Lampkin. Ooh, that's a fun one. Is it a fun one? But I think you're not going to be surprised by where I'm going to go. And I think that this would be the best case scenario for the Eagles. Darius Cooper. It's a fun one.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Definitely a fun one. Darius Cooper. Are you saying that's best case or most likely? Or both? I think best case. If Darius Cooper makes... You can make a case for him being the most likely. Well, I think if jihad counts, he's more likely.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yeah. But I think if Darius Cooper, if AJ Brown comes back, Garious Cooper beats out Hollywood Brown for the number three job and is the most productive number three receiver Jalen Hurts has had, that's fantastic. Yeah. If they move on from AJ Brown and he's part of it
Starting point is 00:36:54 and maybe he ascends to number two over Hollywood Brown, I think that's great. I'm holding some space for that. Yeah, it's a good combination of being the best case scenario for the Eagles offense to have a young receiver that they could potentially build around in the future, while also being a realistic outcome, I think. You know, there are people bullish on him in the building,
Starting point is 00:37:14 and I get why. You know, he's a fun profile of player. He's built similarly to A.J. Brown in the sense that he, you know, has, like a running backs build at wide receiver. I really like a Darius Cooper. I like a Darius Cooper. How would you have answered?
Starting point is 00:37:29 I'll be honest with you. I was thinking mostly on the defensive side, other than the offensive line guys. So I'll take Cameron Williams. I think he is, I think Drew Kendall is like the more likely. But if I'm going best case, if they have a like a Fred Johnson replacement in Cameron Williams, that is a very good outcome for them. I think the best case for them, if like what would be best, it has to be on offense just because they have such a need for young building blocks on offense now
Starting point is 00:37:56 that they will not be able to fill it all in the draft. If they could get one with sort of found money, I think that would be, that would go a long way. Yeah. Ty Robinson's another one we didn't include. I didn't talk about Tyrone. It's a good one. Especially, I wrote this in the depth chart analysis I did, you can read that on all pHOI.com. Become a diehard.
Starting point is 00:38:13 The rotation of the, like, churn of interior rushers next to the superstar, you know, whether it was, I mean, like, it would, Moro Jomo, Milton Williams. Before that, Javon Hargrave, I feel like to keep that pipeline going, they probably need to draft a guy. Yeah. Unless they think Ty Robinson has the upside to fill that role over time. I'm not sure he does. but if he showed that in training camp, that would be a good outcome for the Eagles. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Yeah. Okay. Good question. We got two, six, and eight left. Let's do number eight. All right. Number eight mentioned that. I tease that time machine.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Howley Rosen likes to talk about time machines, Bo. And if he had the much... How many do you think he's seen back to the future? I do not know the answer. Probably not as many as you think. Nobody gets three. The busy guy. I'm going to say two.
Starting point is 00:39:01 You should ask him next week. So if Howley Rosen had the time machine... He's a... Of that age, I bet he saw it a bunch as a kid when it was on TV. I'm going to go nine times. I'm going to go lower than that for sure. He's a busy guy. Well, yeah, I'm not saying now over the course of his life.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Even when he was young, he seems like the type of guy who wouldn't have spent a ton of time watching movies. I'm going to five. I think he's seen five times. I'm taking the under on that one. You should ask him. So if he had the time machine he's discussed so many times. I'm going back to nine. Which player would he sign from another team?
Starting point is 00:39:35 or sorry, I did a bad job framing it. You were throwing me off my game. So if Hallie Rosen could go back to the start of free agency. Not beginning to end, like, all the way through, but nine times with a good at least half hour sitting. Okay. Do you want to say anything else about this topic? The kind of guy who sprinkles in a Marty McFly reference or something.
Starting point is 00:39:59 There's no way that he sprinkles in a Marty McFly reference. I disagree. No, there's no way. I think so. I'm waiting. Are you good? I don't know yet. I'll let you know.
Starting point is 00:40:11 So if he could go back to the start of free agency. Okay. And he knows every deal that has been signed since the start of free agency. Which player would he say, I'm signing them for that deal instead of the team that signed them for the deal? You could include a trade. If there's a player that was traded, that maybe he would go, well, we would have paid that and can go back and make the same trade.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Who do you think he's targeting? This is really hard. It is. And this is the one that you gave me heads up on because it did take a little bit of research just to be honest with the audience. This is really hard because there are no great deals out there. Yeah, especially for the eagles.
Starting point is 00:40:53 So you think about the timing of it because the moves that happened in the first couple hours of free agency, he couldn't commit to because he was still hoping for Jalen Phillips. And we know that they were involved in Alante Taylor a little bit. Certainly that makes sense given that they ended up signing Rick Willen. That's the one of the major contracts
Starting point is 00:41:19 that I think might be the answer. But even that is a... I think that that's too much for them. I don't think that they would have signed him to that deal. Because it's like 42 guaranteed. Yeah, that was my... It's like $3.50 something.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Three for 58. I actually don't think that they would have done that deal. I think they would have maybe gone a little bit higher than they said they could go. before Phillips had left. I still kind of think that they might have been interested in the likely thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:48 But that was before they needed a resolution on Goddard. You didn't know about A.J. Brown. And it is, like, he got paid a lot of money for the tight-end market. Yeah. I think if he didn't have to worry about the lost cap space, that might be the answer, just in terms of filling a need long term.
Starting point is 00:42:05 I don't think that there's a different corner deal based on Like, we knew that he wanted that. And they chose to go with Woolen as opposed to, you know, getting Nashon Wright for $5.5.000. Yeah, so Nashon Wright was the one that I settled on because he got signed for, I think it's one year, $5.5.5 million. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Would you rather have him at $5.5 million and more money to invest at safety or at a different, honestly, at any position, you know, could you, could you have saved some money there? I don't think so. I think they chose, I think they knew that that was a possibility and they chose to do this. Yeah. Yeah. To me, Nayshan Wright, Alante Taylor stood out, and then my boy, Charlie Colar.
Starting point is 00:42:44 But they signed Dallas Goddard for less money than Charlie Coler signed for. So I don't think. There's not a good answer for this one. No, I think it's an interesting exercise. I think the real question is probably would they, if they knew. Nationide was $3.5 million. Really? That's guaranteed?
Starting point is 00:43:01 Then maybe I think up to five and a half? Yeah, maybe there's incentives that push it up. Would they have done something different at Edge if they knew Phillips was leaving? Like would they have been involved, would they have gone heavy at Odafe Oway? And I don't think so. Yeah. I don't think they would have taken that deal. Yeah, four years a hundred million for him.
Starting point is 00:43:18 They're not doing that. I don't think so. Yeah. And then the rest of it, you know, they're not doing the Hendrickson deal, even though they weren't involved. Because that was too much. We know, like, if they wanted to go to that, they could have gone to that. Yeah. And I don't think there's anybody else who moves the needle for them too much.
Starting point is 00:43:33 So I think this, in this free agency year in particular was one that was not super interesting. to Howie? Right. I was going to say this. I think Alante Taylor is probably my answer. And even that, I think he probably wouldn't have done at that price.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Yeah, I'm going to go with Nashan Wright. But I think that this conversation kind of shows the conversation that we were having a week into free agency where people were saying, why haven't they done anything? If you look back at it, the deals that these guys signed,
Starting point is 00:43:59 I don't think they, I can see why they didn't do anything. A lot of these contracts that were handed out, I don't think it would have made sense for them. Now, do you think that if he had gotten gotten a first round pick for AJ Brown and I don't think that this would have worked cap-wise but let's pretend that it would have
Starting point is 00:44:17 you think he would have done the McDuffie deal sent a first for McDuffie. That's a great question because McDuffie is requal and but like so much more versatile I would say a better player I mean absolutely a better player but you have to pay him long term.
Starting point is 00:44:41 And that, I mean, it would have been hard to fit all three of those guys under your salary cap. So I don't think so. It would have been fun for one year, but yeah, I don't think they could have afforded to do it. What do you think he would have done the Michael Pittman deal? No, I don't. I mean, what year was Pittman drafted?
Starting point is 00:44:59 Did he over? He didn't overlap with Nick, did he? He did. One year? One year. So maybe the cohabitation matrix But no, I think I don't think they would have done that
Starting point is 00:45:09 Okay What do you think? What the Pittman deal? I think probably not. McDuffie deal. I feel like the money is the reason they wouldn't have done that. Right, but I'm just in a value world
Starting point is 00:45:18 Would he have sent a first for McDuffey And then paid him? No, I think if you were doing it From his perspective, you probably look at it It would not work Because you probably look at it like a one-year rental And he wouldn't,
Starting point is 00:45:29 McDuffie wouldn't have been on board with that. Right. I think they're committed to keeping that space for Quigna and Cooper. Yeah. Yeah, it's like if they did that, we'd be sitting here saying
Starting point is 00:45:41 like, what does this mean for Cooper to Gene? Rhymes. Yeah. Yeah. All right. One more break. We'll come back.
Starting point is 00:45:48 We've got two more questions. Find out what they are. Number two and number six. I don't know. You ever have one of those days where you're just you got no time. You're moving nonstop.

Starting point is 00:47:51 and get back to doing what you love pain free. Back in the P.HL.Y. Eagles podcast. Bowen E.J. You have a little clip. Yeah. You've curated. It's, uh, I mentioned earlier. I was here a year ago.
Starting point is 00:48:08 And, yeah. The anniversary. Isn't, I guess it's not technically our anniversary because, like, you know, we weren't, technically. We weren't official until, I mean, it was like August something. Out of the Ospreys. Yeah, exactly. What was the date?
Starting point is 00:48:21 August 6th? August 8th. Early August. But, yeah, I figured, you know, since I was watching it, I was like, oh, this brings back good memories. I figured we could run the tape. Okay. And see me wax poignant about Keeley Ringo being poised for a breakout season.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Nice. Kili Ringo. You have sort of staked out a bit of a position on Kili Ringo Island, it feels like, or at least you're pretending as if you own Kili Ringo. And not everybody else who saw him of a pretty good training camp last year. Yeah. Now, before we get to this item, how much of your gazing up of Kili Ringo has to do with the fact that he is,
Starting point is 00:49:01 despite being more tendered in the NFL, actually a full year younger than Quinnian Mitchell? That is a big point. part of it for sure, but honestly, this is my hot take. Listen, this is my hot take here. He has the same, he has a very similar upside to coin down Mitchell, in my opinion. A similar upside? He has all the physical traits to be a lockdown cornerback in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Will he get there? I'm not sure. I mean, I think that it's going to take a lot for him to reach that potential, but the ceiling is apparent when you look at him, when you watch and play, he has all of the physical attributes. Like when, at least for me, when I look at cornerback prospects, I like to see, like, you know, to steal the Jeff Stalinlanism, someone. usual traits, you know?
Starting point is 00:49:38 Yeah. Like I want the spider chart to be full when I look at cornerbacks, especially if you're going to draft them high up in the draft. With Keely Ringo, the spider chart is full when you watch his tape. It's a little bit,
Starting point is 00:49:48 he doesn't have as much fluidity. He doesn't have the technique that you really want to see from a corner. But I think having the last couple of years to sort of develop behind the scenes, I feel like there's a chance that he has sort of access some of that potential
Starting point is 00:50:00 that I think was really apparent when they drafted him. Very interesting time capsule. A lot of thoughts. Yeah. I have thoughts too, obviously. Number one, very funny. I wore that same sweater yesterday.
Starting point is 00:50:13 It would have been funny if I was wearing the exact same one a year apart. I wore the exact flannel and shirt combination like a week ago. Okay. Well, honestly, less than. You had the smaller desk set up. We hadn't made the move to just keep the four here. Instead, we had the little double. A little dead space there.
Starting point is 00:50:29 That's interesting. That the hair looked very good out of you? Yeah, shorter. Yeah. Listen, for you being that only your second time in studio, very comfortable. I'd like to think I'm more comfortable now, but yeah. But be a preter natural. It's a testament to the host. I thought you did a very good job. Now, it also, it also, it says a lot about you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:50 That you were willing to be so self-effacing in bringing us a clip. It's about personal growth. It's about personal growth. Do I need to evolve how I view the cornerback position as we evaluate, as we get ready for the draft, we're going to be looking at these prospects. Do I overweight traits? But see, I think, I do think you're missing something on Keeley still. Because even then, when we're watching that, you say, yeah, you know what? Say the same upside as Quignan.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Maybe that wasn't as bad of a take. It's the change of direction. Yeah, but I think the defense I will give to that take. As you said, the fluidity. Yeah, that is what he was missing. But in terms of like, I stand by that when you are looking for a first round corner, when you're looking for a cornerback with a high upside, you do want them to look like Keely Ringo.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Now you want them to move better than Keely Ringo. That is where I probably need to re-evaluate the way that I look at quarterback. Okay. Is that like I always chalked up his lack of change of direction, like the lack of like being able to flip your hips and move laterally to just the fact he hadn't played the position very much. But I think it's just something he just is not comfortable doing.
Starting point is 00:52:00 So yes, I think that is a part of my growth. Good for you. Good for you. I mean, I'm no fran, but I do like to watch prospects. I like to watch the All-22. And an interesting reminder there that, you know, as we think about, as the Eagles have moved on from Sidney Brown, Keeler Ringo entering the final year of his rookie deal,
Starting point is 00:52:18 odd that somehow still he is younger than Quignan Mitchell. Are you going to start this again? No. Okay. I didn't know that that was a thing when I was in studio, I'll be honest. But I then learned shortly thereafter. Because you weren't a sicko. Okay
Starting point is 00:52:35 I mean All right Let's do number two All right Number two This is going to revive A segment we do during the season Something or nothing
Starting point is 00:52:45 Oh something or nothing What a special deal Something or nothing To see the panic in your eyes Loser owes a meal Okay I don't think that this is a winner Loser situation
Starting point is 00:52:59 How you want to feel I don't need you to keep trying. It's like the wobbly mic song before the show. How did I go again? I don't remember. I didn't enjoy it. Wobbly Mike. I don't think that was it.
Starting point is 00:53:16 It was bad though. Shout out Julia, by the way, because Julia would always like harmonize with you when you start singing. It's like what I get myself into here. Anyway, number two. The Eagles have the seventh most cap space in the NFL. right now. 32.9 million,
Starting point is 00:53:35 according to over the cap. Something or nothing. Nothing. Okay. I tend to agree with you. I just, you know, it's something I see the conversation online.
Starting point is 00:53:47 I think it's worth addressing. The Eagles typically do like to have more cap space than most teams at this point in the off season and even going into the season for the sake of flexibility, being able to sign people, being able to take on,
Starting point is 00:54:01 you know, dead cap space or just trade. for somebody. So it doesn't surprise me, but it is like, I mean, it stands out because of the fact that they started on that table so low, and now they've climbed as other teams make a lot of signing. Also, you know, they're holding out for big changes to that. Whether that's extensions or a trade of AJ Brown. Right. But still something that is no-worthy. Yeah. Mildly noteworthy. I just, I can't get, I can't get worked up about the cap.
Starting point is 00:54:35 So you fall on like the salary cap isn't real. It's not that it's not real. It's just that the Eagles do have the luxury. I mean, they can't do everything. They have constraints. I think the constraints are actually a little bit more cap-related or cash-related. Yeah, I think that is accurate. But, yeah, I'm unmoved.
Starting point is 00:54:55 I always, the thing I always go back to is I always say, like, the salary cap is not going to be the limiting factor for the Eagles. Yeah. Like, you know, if you're pointing at the salary cap is the reason you're not going to do something, more often than not, that's not the primary reason they wouldn't do something. They can figure those things out. All right. Number six, blows us out. All righty.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Does Jackson Smith and Jigba's contract extension have $42.5 million a year? Does that change anything for Devante Smith or the Eagles? I don't think it changes anything. I think it probably reinforces that they would like to get a deal done with Devante. Yeah, his deal is two off seasons old and he's making $25 million a year. And I don't think that he's, I don't think he's there. their top priority, but I think they wouldn't mind doing that. And I honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they do trade AJ, if that is shortly to come
Starting point is 00:55:44 thereafter. Yeah, I would, I would agree. They try to get ahead of it with Devante. But it's not a direct one-to-one, right? I mean, Smith and Jigba is younger. Younger, right? Yeah, he's, how much younger? I think he's three years younger.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Okay. Than Devante. Yeah. And generally, like. It's his first deal as opposed to, yeah. Yes. And generally, like, while I think. Well, no, there are people in that building that think that Devante is as good as those guys.
Starting point is 00:56:10 He just doesn't get the opportunity. It's still like, I mean, he had 1,700 yards last year. You know, it's like at some point, like that production kind of wins out. So, so yeah, I think if I'm the Eagles, I do want to rework a contract with Devante Smith this off season. Because even if AJ's back, I think you do probably want to get ahead of this market really taking off. I mean, there's still some big wide receiver contracts to come in the, I mean, this off. season and probably next off season as well. I know this deal's only two years old.
Starting point is 00:56:41 I could see them reworking his deal by the time we get to training camp. I don't think that's crazy. Yeah. If you are interested in trying to figure out who might be the next Jackson, Jackson Smith and Jigba, is there a wide receiver? The Eagles could draft in the first two rounds. Good news. Fran's die-hard draft event.
Starting point is 00:57:02 The France film session is coming up April 8th, 6, clock. This is two weeks away. And Connor Barwin's going to be there for a little meet and greet beforehand. You get to meet Connor Barwin. You get to watch and learn as Fran does some guys. Fantastic. Crunch and tape with Fran? Meet and Connor Barwin? What an opportunity? What's your favorite, like, word for consuming tape? Is it? Eaton tape, crushing the tape, gobbling the tape? I haven't heard that one before. I'm still looking for it. Okay. I respect that.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Devouring the tape. Yeah? Is that the one? No. Didn't land? It was okay. Do little Thesaurus.com. No free ads. If you just gave them the free ad.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Scarfing the tape. Scarfing the tape. I love that. gorging on the tape. Ooh, that one's good. Swallowing the tape. I don't like that one. Lindsay, laughing at that. Inhaling the tape.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Inhaling's pretty good. I like gorging better. Cramming the tape. No, you don't want to cramming. Feasting on the tape. Oh, feasting's good. Ingesting? No.
Starting point is 00:58:43 How about wolfing down the tape? Wolfing down the tape. That's a good one. That could be you. That could be like your thing. The tape, no, you're wolfing down the tape. We got to, yeah, we have to,
Starting point is 00:58:56 maybe a graphic, Lindsay. Wolfing down the tape. Maybe a graphic we could figure out in goblin time. You see Mosales leaving Liverpool? No. End of the season. Really? Do we know where?
Starting point is 00:59:17 He's probably going to go to the Saudi League if I had to guess. He's been wanted there for many years. Yeah. Hopefully he gets enough blood money to ease his conscience. I mean, that's the thing about the Saudi League is that's what they're doing out there. Mosalo is like one of the first players, because again, I'm a late adopter to soccer. I've never claimed to be an early adopter.
Starting point is 00:59:42 You say that as if there are people who get mad at you for this. Yes, people do. Really? Yeah, because remember I didn't know, was it Schweinsteiger that I didn't know? you're like how do you not know that guy and it's like if they did he play in the last like seven years i'm not familiar with them unless they're on FIFA um but he was one of the first players where i was like i can tell that he's good even though i know nothing about this game you know what i mean like he was just so dominant yeah yeah great players he and his prime moves in a fun
Starting point is 01:00:08 little way with the ball also i mean for us guys who got struggling hairlines that guy is like the he's goals you know us lindsay's ex we're all just trying to get like mo's solid she can't believe you just said that I wish they could see Lindsay's reaction yeah because one of our mutual friends to listen to the show it's a looping Tuesday they don't know what we're talking about

Starting point is 01:01:47 The EJ eight. I like DJ. With inspiration. We should mix it out. Stop it. I won't stop it. I got to show the necessary respect. I got to show my work.
Starting point is 01:02:00 I can't be taking credit for this. Don't you think that there's a degree to which Naya will find you doing it too much to be a little bit patronizing? I hope not. I certainly hope not. Listen, you can't be like overly deferential. That's what I'm saying. No, you can't. Like, I'm going to make it clear.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Shield Capadia came up with this idea. Ooh, the E.J. 8. I don't think I like that. Not a fan of the EJate. Okay, well, it's your thing. The Ege eight, we could do. People call me Eage. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:45 I don't hate Eage. No, I don't hate it as much as I hate Ernie. Hmm. Okay. Good stuff on a Tuesday. A loopy Tuesday. Tomorrow's going to be fun. Miles Johnson's going to join us in the studio.
