We are right in the middle of the Philadelphia Eagles preseason and with only a couple more preseason games left to play, we'll be finding out soon enough which players make the team, and which players get cut. To get into this Eagles preseason and roster, we brought Benjamin Solak, Deputy Editor and writer at BleedingGreenNation.com and draft analyst at The Draft Network, on the show this week to get into a bunch of storylines Eagles fans are following. It's a great interview, as always, with Ben!
But first, on the Brief News and Views segment:
1. Phillies Talk: home vs. the road; and can they still make the postseason? (5:45)
2. A look at Temple Football this coming season. (22:15)
3. Jerry Jones and the National Anthem. (28:30)
4. The Sixers schedule for the 2018-2019 season. (34:35)
Then we get into our Up or Down segment where we briefly analyze Philly sports figures to determine if their needle is moving up or down. (41:00)
What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an amazing and in-depth interview with Benjamin Solak from Bleeding Green Nation. The question we're all asking is; can the Eagles repeat as Super Bowl Champions? While not impossible, it is incredibly improbably for many NFL teams to accomplish this feat – but we get into it with Ben. Also, we get into the running back situation with Wendell Smallwood, Josh Adams, Donnel Pumphrey and who that 4th running back might be coming out of camp. How will the wide receiver injuries to Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor affect the offense? Will linebacker Corey Nelson have a significant role to play this season? The guys also got into Carson Wentz's progression over the past few weeks. Ben then gave us some surprise cuts from the Eagles roster to close us out. Plus much more Eagles talk during the interview!
