Sheil is joined by Zach Berman of The Athletic to get a pulse on the current state of the Eagles following their two consecutive losses. Did Kevin Patullo say anything at his presser that should encourage fans (03:16)? What’s the latest on Za’Darius Smith’s abrupt retirement and Quinyon Mitchell’s injury (06:59)? Lane Johnson made comments about the offense that didn’t put it in the best light. What is the feeling around the building of the offense (11:18)? Under Patullo, Jalen Hurts’s numbers have significantly regressed. Why is that (21:15)? Is there any possibility A.J. Brown could be traded in-season (29:52)? What do the guys think Jeffrey Lurie thinks about the current state of the team (45:04)? Plus, the mailbag, a Flyers update, and Hip-Hop (Sixers mascot) is back (50:29)!
