Watching the Birds

The Eagles offense does have a lot of issues and not just AJ Brown, BUT are those problems easier to fix? Hell no. This should be simple and I think it will be this week: 33-26 Birds.WATCH PARTY TOMORROW for Birds and Denver - Neshaminy Creek Brewing | 139 N Main St Unit 1 | Dublin, PA 18917Thank you so much for listening and subscribing!JOIN THE WATCHING THE BIRDS SOCIAL CLUB!Merch, monthly gifts, meetups and more: Just $59/yr- https://watchingthebirds.myshopify.com/products/id-rather-be-watching-the-birds-hat - __________________Say hi to us in the Discord: https://discord.gg/y455KDRYnCWatching the Birds on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ratherbewatchinWatching the Birds on Twitter: https://x.com/ratherbewatchinBarchard on Twitter: https://x.com/JohnBarchard__________________

I don't care what the line is at NovaCare, this is Jalen Hurts' offense and Kevin Potato needs to get out of the way. Kevin doesn't need more time as a play caller, both he and Sirianni need to listen to their QB.  PLUS I stop by GIANT and chat with our new hat member Jim! We gush over last week's win and chat about our favorite Herr's snacks. WATCH PARTY THIS SUNDAY for Birds and Bucs - Neshaminy Creek Brewing | 139 N Main St Unit 1 | Dublin, PA 18917Thank you so much for listening and subscribing!JOIN THE WATCHING THE BIRDS SOCIAL CLUB!Merch, monthly gifts, meetups and more: Just $59/yr- https://watchingthebirds.myshopify.com/products/id-rather-be-watching-the-birds-hat - __________________Say hi to us in the Discord: https://discord.gg/y455KDRYnCWatching the Birds on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ratherbewatchinWatching the Birds on Twitter: https://x.com/ratherbewatchinBarchard on Twitter: https://x.com/JohnBarchard__________________

This week, I express my love for Za'Darius Smith and why I believe there is massive storyline with the Packers now that he's here in Philadelphia. AND, I try to answer these questions heading into the week: 1) Why is Jalen Carter not in shape?2) Does anyone actually believe the passing game will be "fixed" this week?3) Is there anything to the theory that the Eagles are playing possum with their offense?4) What will it take for us to trust Adoree at CB2?Za' Darius Smith article: http://golongtd.com/p/the-savior-zadarius-smith-is-out WATCH PARTY THIS SUNDAY - Neshaminy Creek Brewing | 139 N Main St Unit 1 | Dublin, PA 18917Thank you so much for listening and subscribing!JOIN THE WATCHING THE BIRDS SOCIAL CLUB!Merch, monthly gifts, meetups and more: Just $59/yr- https://watchingthebirds.myshopify.com/products/id-rather-be-watching-the-birds-hat - __________________Say hi to us in the Discord: https://discord.gg/y455KDRYnCWatching the Birds on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ratherbewatchinWatching the Birds on Twitter: https://x.com/ratherbewatchinBarchard on Twitter: https://x.com/JohnBarchard__________________

Since Nick Sirianni became the head coach we have ALWAYS critiqued his passing offense in some way shape or form. So I am pretty content to wait for answers from this offense as it recovers from a short offseason and I am so happy the Eagles are 2-0. But my biggest critique from the win in Kansas City and from Dallas keep showing up. The Eagles have zero pass attempts in the 10-19 yard range after 2 weeks, and that can no longer continue if Jalen Hurts truly wants to be a top 5 QB. Sorry I couldn't get this out faster!

WELCOME TANK BIGSBY TO THE PARTY! Some quick thoughts on his overall all role, a little deeper dive in to what I think Za'Darius Smith's usage might look like, and I am doubling down on seeing Cooper DeJean at CB2 as early as this week vs KC. WATCH PARTY THIS SUNDAY - Neshaminy Creek Brewing | 139 N Main St Unit 1 | Dublin, PA 18917Thank you so much for listening and subscribing!JOIN THE WATCHING THE BIRDS SOCIAL CLUB!Merch, monthly gifts, meetups and more: Just $59/yr- https://watchingthebirds.myshopify.com/products/id-rather-be-watching-the-birds-hat - __________________Say hi to us in the Discord: https://discord.gg/y455KDRYnCWatching the Birds on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ratherbewatchinWatching the Birds on Twitter: https://x.com/ratherbewatchinBarchard on Twitter: https://x.com/JohnBarchard__________________

I think Jalen Carter is gonna get suspended, I am warming up to the idea of Cooper DeJean at CB2, and I am JACKED about what I saw from Jalen Hurts in Week 1 vs Dallas. WATCH PARTY THIS SUNDAY - Neshaminy Creek Brewing | 139 N Main St Unit 1 | Dublin, PA 18917Thank you so much for listening and subscribing.  JOIN THE WATCHING THE BIRDS SOCIAL CLUB! Merch, monthly gifts, meetups and more: Just $59/yr https://watchingthebirds.myshopify.com/products/id-rather-be-watching-the-birds-hat __________________ Say hi to us in the Discord: https://discord.gg/y455KDRYnC Watching the Birds on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ratherbewatchin Watching the Birds on Twitter: https://x.com/ratherbewatchin Barchard on Twitter: https://x.com/JohnBarchard __________________

TODAY, we kickoff gameday week with our good friend Nanks from Melbourne, Australia as he and Barchard talk about the Parsons trade, why neither of think it really helps the Packers become a contender, and chat about what move Howie could make next before the trade deadline this season. Pods will be out everyday this week!

The Eagles have so many WRs, a backup QB that won't play a 2nd preseason game, and no one that can really play CB2. Don't you think Howie is trying to get a deal done with Tanner right now? I do. That's my biggest takeaway as Eagles training camp comes to an end. JOIN THE WATCHING THE BIRDS SOCIAL CLUB! Merch, monthly gifts, meetups and more: Just $59/yr https://watchingthebirds.myshopify.com/products/id-rather-be-watching-the-birds-hat __________________ Say hi to us in the Discord: https://discord.gg/y455KDRYnC Watching the Birds on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ratherbewatchin Watching the Birds on Twitter: https://x.com/ratherbewatchin Barchard on Twitter: https://x.com/JohnBarchard __________________

I don't think John Metchie being here automatically means there is a corresponding move, but I would be lying to you if I didn't at least think about what that would look like without Dotson here. PLUS, Drew Mukuba gives me new life and a lot less worry about CB2 heading into the season. MAJOR NEWS FOR CLUB MEMBERS ON TODAY'S EPISODE! JOIN THE WATCHING THE BIRDS SOCIAL CLUB! Merch, monthly gifts, meetups and more: Just $59/yrhttps://watchingthebirds.myshopify.com/products/id-rather-be-watching-the-birds-hat__________________Say hi to us in the Discord: https://discord.gg/y455KDRYnCWatching the Birds on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ratherbewatchinWatching the Birds on Twitter: https://x.com/ratherbewatchinBarchard on Twitter: https://x.com/JohnBarchard__________________

John reacts to Howie kicking off his annual August trade party by stealing Jakorian Bennett from the Raiders. We dive into what this means for the CB2 battle, why Cooper DeJean is absolutely not just a slot corner, and how the Eagles are already setting up life after Reed Blankenship.
