00:00I don't know how howie roseman continues to get away with it in philadelphia's front office
00:05But he certainly does an in-division trade yesterday
00:09Nearing the end of pre-season and training camp between the washington commanders in the philadelphia eagles
00:16the birds acquiring johan dotson a former first round draft pick by washington back in
00:222022 at the wide receiver spot in exchange for a third round pick in 2025
00:28And a couple of seventh rounders as well dotson and a fifth round selection make their way to the city of brotherly love
00:35Now johan dotson it had been reported
00:38Seemingly was on the outside looking in at a wide receiver room in washington that he really wasn't fitting anymore
00:45Despite a relatively successful first few years in the national football league without much great quarterbacking
00:52in
00:53Washington now he makes his way to philadelphia the eagles get a guy with a ton of upside
00:59To be a wide receiver number three not be that top guy. That's aj brown or even 1a
01:05That's devontae smith. I think it's a fantastic move for the birds drs. I'm sure you feel the same way
01:12Like I imagine you you know, you go into dallas i'm talking about kellen moore
01:15You're the offensive coordinator. I thought he did a great job there
01:17You go off to the west coast things didn't work out herbert's injured
01:20You sort of only like cast aside and an nfl team calls you up and you're going to call plays
01:25Which is going to be your offense and you are going to line up with that wide receiving core that offensive line that quarterback
01:31That tight end and that running back like you can't even pick a better pitch like jesus
01:36It's like hey, you know what?
01:36I got to rebuild this horrible franchise
01:38This team is an absolute machine now granted
01:40Is this going to equate to an easy win in the nfc for the you know division title?
01:44No, is this going to be an easy route to the play? No, it's not
01:47There's a lot of question marks on the philadelphia eagles, but I do find this interesting
01:51If there was one thing the philadelphia eagles knew they needed to upgrade that they took a little bit for granted
01:56Was that wide receiver three position?
01:58Which is a huge position in the nfl if you can have a guy that does damage out of the slot
02:02Your offense can become you crazy out there like hell on wheels and the eagle's like, okay, we'll try paris campbell
02:08And maybe he's doing okay. He's getting injured here. We'll have it. Let's go to britain covey
02:11You know the punt returner who does have some quicks and maybe that's not working out here
02:15You get john ross who's a former number one blazer out there for the cincinnati bangles
02:19He never worked out in the nfl
02:20He tried to work him and he's injured johnny wilson out of florida state
02:23So it feels like you know, you're two weeks away from the season
02:26This isn't going to work out and to be able to pick up the phone into the vision
02:30And get a former first round draft pick and we're not talking about band like hey 19 or excuse me
02:342016 first round pick that hasn't worked out just a few years ago here playing with subpar quarterbacks now coming into an offense that
02:41Who are you going to cover?
02:43This is great because you look at aj brown on one side devonta smith on the other and if you're that third wide receiver in
02:48The middle you're getting nothing but one-on-one coverage to beat your man as opposed to
02:52Locking you up and saying i'm going to put my best cornerback on you in the slot here
02:56I thought it was a great move for the eagles
02:58Even if it doesn't work out it's a chance that you had to take and again
03:02Just looking at the skill position players in the nfl the eagles have the best skill position across the board
03:09I don't it used to be it was them in the niners that puts you over the top now as the best skill position team
03:14in the nfl
