00:00And the philadelphia eagles check in as super bowl favorites
00:04So I want to use that to connect something because
00:06I was setting the stage of something that I really believed going into the game is that if the eagles beat the chiefs
00:11We should be talking about them as an all-time great team
00:14And I guess because i'm nuts
00:17To my surprise and then frustration people were having that conversation
00:21I was like, that's not fair. None of you were gonna have the conversation
00:24Like none of you were thinking that it was going to be a thing before the game, but they did
00:27and why I think that's relevant is
00:30Won the season they had but also who they beat the philadelphia eagles
00:34In stopping the three p for the kansas city chiefs now, the reality is
00:40dynasties
00:41Win multiple championships. So that's what philadelphia would really need and we're going to get to that in a second
00:46But i'm just curious for you donny and then i'll go to you joe
00:49this season's eagles team
00:51Recent memory 10 20 years. How do you feel they stack up the best?
00:56And I don't even think it's particularly close at this point because you look at every position you say sometimes
01:00You get to the pinnacle. It's like boy a lot's going to change really up against it
01:04We pushed our chips in look at the starters on offense mckay
01:07Beckton is the only one up for contract that means every single player on that offense is coming back including jalen
01:12Included saquon barkley both your wide receivers dallas goddard and whatnot
01:16Now you flip it over to the defense here. Zach bond was an instrumental part of the philadelphia eagles winning the super bowl
01:21He was absolutely sensational. They do have cap space. Let's just say they can sign him back
01:25You're also taking a look at some restricted free agents at the cornerback position
01:29Not darius slay and of course not quinon mitchell and of course not certainly
01:33Cooper dejean there and also under contract is reid blankenship and also cj gardner johnson
01:38So you don't say to yourself like boy, you can't afford everybody now
01:40Joshua was fantastic on that playoff run, but keep in mind last year the eagles tried to trade him
01:44There were no takers. They even were able to go to joshua. I'm like, hey, you don't have any takers
01:48Not only that we're going to drop your salary. You're going to prove it season
01:51He wasn't fantastic during the regular season, but really ramped it up
01:54the one guy to keep an eye on milton williams
01:56Fantastic defensive tackle almost had one of those seasons where it didn't provide the sacks that you would for like jevon hargrave
02:02Who ended up going to the 49ers, but he's going to be a hot ticket
02:04They probably can't afford him
02:05But if you're looking at the shell of this team coming back and saying, okay
02:0822 starters are going to be down three of those and 18 and maybe they keep one or two of those to make it
02:1320 out of 21 starter. That's outrageous. Williams is as big as this wall. We saw him out there
02:19Unbelievable performance and josh went with the two and a half sacks thought he should have won the super bowl mvp
02:24He did come out and say that but oh, did he? Yeah. Oh, wow
02:28We're in the game. Yeah, and the mic'd up in the mic
02:30If you watch the mic'd up yesterday from the super bowl, they were coming out there
02:33There's a funny exchange while they're on the field. Zach bond's like man
02:35What's it gonna take to get me that defensive mvp and bond's like? Oh, yeah, you ain't getting
02:39Pretty good. It was pretty good. Yeah
02:41I will say this I agree with both of you donny donny and kevin with the super bowl outs
02:47But if if you're out of bet right now
02:49I probably would bet on the eagles potentially for a 3p because of the nucleus of that offense and defense
02:55Because of what's there those young guys they did it, right?
02:58I mean how he did it right in the center hurt us now, aren't you?
03:01No, no, what i'm saying is
03:04They took the most dominant defense in college, which was the georgia bulldog point and they
03:11Replicated that by taking those guys. I mean
03:14Nolan smith nicobe dean jordan davis jalen carter. I mean keely ring goes back there somewhere
03:20I'm, just saying my ring is that is their heart and soul right now with the defense and then they brought in bond
03:27They brought in other players around them. They're not going anywhere and jaylen hurts is only gonna get better
03:33He's gonna he's gonna be more confident now off his first super bowl
03:37You got saquon barkley that looks like the best running back all time now coming back for another year
03:43Who's to say aj's hungry all of a sudden he wants more?
03:49Smith
03:50Heisman trophy winner the the whole nucleus of this team were winners
03:55I'm, serious winners in college and winner and now winners in the nfl. Where are they going?
04:01By the way real quick on aj his instagram posts that we're going to talk about which is so phenomenal
04:05It's like yeah, we won but I like to dominate dbs out there. That's all I care about. God. Love that kid
04:11Oh, I love that kid because then he got upset I think because he was like he's like brady says it like the double standard
04:16It's like aj. It's not even that man. It's not even that it's just like
04:20of course
04:22You two days later like i'm routing somebody up at this parade. That's just the end of the story here
04:27Would you bet that though?
04:28Three like if they gave you a market for potential too, you'd have to tie up your money for two years
04:32But my point is if they threw a number out there for you, I mean it had to be one 30 to one
04:37I'll be way more than that. Here's 50. Here's the problem
04:41So 50 is a good number like I have to bet it because
04:44No, no, like I don't think you would actually need way more than that. But my here's my thing
04:49It is nobody has
04:52Like since I think it's what two thousand or so gone back to back unless it was tom or pat right, right? So
04:59I think the world of jalen hurts, but it is it is taking historical
05:04Greatness at the quarterback position and that's what I think is fascinating
05:08Is well, I think hurts is one of the five best quarterbacks in football
05:12Have the philadelphia eagles and have this roster
05:16Changed it up a little bit because for years people were just kind of point pick who's the best quarterback cool
05:21Got it, right and that's kind of what they were banking a lot of those super bowl picks on and yeah
05:25Maybe here and there there'd be a you know, stop it gap in the road, right?
05:28But I mean how many for the last how many years has the super bowl winner been either tom brady or patrick mahomes, right?
05:35So for philly
05:37What is so tempting about them moving forward?
05:40Is the fact that there are so many guys that you fully expect back next season?
05:45every team every year goes through some
05:48Changeover, but man like and I think that they should probably try and bring zach bond back. I don't know how it'll happen
05:55I don't know what guys are gonna cost but
05:57You know philly last year was losing guys to retirement
06:00Like it doesn't look like lane johnson's about to say peace
06:03It was like lane john better play another five years, right?
06:05Like I think that's the fascinating thing for this eagle team where maybe they don't win it next year. Maybe they're not back next year
06:12But it did but now
06:13It in the next five years, right?
06:16Most likely team to make a super bowl. The chiefs are number one because of the historical nature
06:21But I mean philly's number two would a bullet
