Intro okay so the start of the eagle season is just a
week away and Hoy Roseman isn't messing around as he just went out and made another surprising move
by signing a promising recent high draft pick to add onto the defensive line and this might just
end up being a very underrated pickup meanwhile we just got a massive update on safety Sydney
Brown as he seems to be getting closer and closer to being fully healthy and returning to the field
plus Jan doson revealed what he's been focused on just after arriving to Philly while Devon Smith
is excited about the addition to doson and the Packers defensive coordinator spoke about facing
the Eagles extremely talented offense so let's talk about that and all the other latest Eagles
news starting right now what's going on everybody Eagles REVEAL Uniforms For Week 1 In Brazil! Welcome to the Philly fan 21 Channel if you're
new I'm Evan and I cover all things Philadelphia Eagles and man we are getting so close to having
some actual Eagles regular season football as we're just officially one week away from the bird
season opener down in Brazil versus the Green Bay Packers and there's just so much to be excited
about I mean for starters things feel even more real now that the Eagles have refi what uniforms
they're going to be wearing for the matchup as they're opting for their white jerseys along with
their black pants and their black helmets which is pretty cool cuz this is a combo that we've
never seen them wear before but on the other hand this definitely did make it seem like the no
wearing green thing down in Brazil was true but the Packers also revealed what jerseys they're
going to be wearing and it's their normal green and yellow so I don't really know why the Eagles
decided to go with this combo but again I think it's pretty cool but aside from that there's still
so many more reasons to be excited whether it just be the start of a new season for the Eagles
or the fact that this might just be the best matchup in week one across the entire league or
that it's on an international stage in the first NFL game in Brazil ever I mean there's just so
many story lines to follow but for the Eagles AJ Brown And DeVonta Smith LOCKED IN On Football Ahead Of Brazil Game! while understanding this is a great opportunity
to grow the game internationally rightfully they don't really seem to be focusing on those external
things well at least the star wide receiver Duo of AJ Brown and Devonte Smith don't seem to
be as when they were asked about going down to Brazil they booth made it clear that they're
pretty much just focused on football and getting the win and nothing else have have you focused on
Portuguese at all try to learn any Portuguese um no um because we we had a a meeting yesterday
and it was like a whole bunch of don't do and uh so um I'm just trying to go down there win a
football game come back home that's the best way I can put you know we're professional this isn't
my first game um but um it is my first game out the country so um you just got to put all that
into a factor and just try to navigate through that the best way you can and ultimately you know
um what we what we down there to do we down there to win football game what were you told not to do
we're not down there to we're not down there to see the city and do all this other stuff this is
not a vacation this is this is uh it's a football game what are your thoughts on playing in Brazil
going his great distance to play a game no comment really not excited you're not it's football just
line up now this is really no surprise I mean both of these guys are very similar in the sense that
they're super dedicated to their craft and the thing they care about more than anything during
the season is winning football games so I wouldn't expect them to have any other mindset even with
all the commotion about them going to Brazil and of course the bird's opponent in this week one
international matchup is dealing with all the same Packers DC Reveals CONFIDENT MINDSET Ahead Of Philly Matchup! noise and type of distractions that the Eagles are
facing with of course that team being the greenway Packers but they seem to be pretty locked in
to ahead of their match up with Philly and specifically their firste defensive coordinator
Jeff Halley seems pumped to get out on the field in Sal Pao to deploy his new look Packers defense
and one that he hopes is much better than last year's group that was ranked 23rd in points alow
and halfly recently seemed to send a message as well he knows that he does have a challenge ahead
of him to try and stop the eagle stack offense he is not backing down and he's confident in his
defense yeah they're big up front um they got good running backs two really good running backs they
got a really good receiver core with good size and speed um the tight ends are good players and
the quarterback is dynamic I mean that's that's always going to be that's always going to be where
you look first right uh the plays that he can make both in the past game and with his feet um that
would be the biggest challenge um combined with you know everything else they can do in the Run
game um and with the receiver and GRE that they have it's it's a good group talented group I mean
for me it's like this it's just like I talk to the players and I mean this um we're going to work
really hard up until the time we kick off and my Sheet's going to be in front of me and I'm going
to let it rip and we're going to call it we're going to play fast and we're going to be physical
and I'm not going to hesitate on the call we're going to get it in quickly to The Quay so they can
look out and see what the offense is coming out in and we can go line up and play uh once that starts
maybe I'll be a little anxious before kickoff but we're going to work to the point where we're
prepared I trust the the players I trust the staff and I just got to go call and they got to go play
and execute and I cannot wait for that to happen you know what you got to respect that especially
coming from a firste NFL coordinator that being said though good luck to him because he's got
just about as impossible of a task as a firste defensive coordinator can have in his first game
going up against an offense that features stars and high level players across the board and the
most recent addition to that star studded group is DeVonta Smith Sees HIMSELF In Jahan Dotson! of course Jan doson which still is just so insane
due to the fact that the guy's a first round pick from just two years ago and in most other off
defenses he would be a much more featured guy but in Philly he's just going to be the third wide
receiver and the fifth offensive option and as AJ Brown laid out yesterday doson is going to have
the opportunity to consistently go up against lesser competition with most of the defensive
attention going to other guys so he should be able to make the most of those opportunities and
dominate in his role and Devonte Smith certainly seems confident that he's going to be able to do
that as not only is he excited about the addition but he also revealed that doson reminds him of
himself a little bit um I think it's a great addition um me personally I always been a big fan
of him um studied his college tape um studied what he's done past two years um always been a big fan
I think it's going to be a nice addition to the room the way that he runs routes the releases
he does and things like that I feel like we're kind of similar it really does seem like pretty
much everybody is excited about the addition of Dawson and is super high on him and that's for
good reason I mean again it isn't like Dawson is one of the top receivers in the game but he is
a really good player that has a very high ceiling so not only does he have the chance to come in
here and dominate while opposing defenses aren't necessarily going to be putting all of their
attention on him but he's also going to have the chance to develop over the years and learn
from guys like AJ Brown and Devonte Smith and if Smitty sees some of himself in Dodson then that
should tell you that he's got great ability and a very valuable skill set and it just makes me even
more excited to watch Dodson for the first time in an eagles's uniform out there in week one however
the first order of business for Jan before that Jahan Dotson Learning Playbook FAST! happens is just to get the Playbook and offense
down as he's got a lot of catching up to do after just getting here just a little over a week ago
but it seems like he's super locked in on doing that so that he's prepared as possible for week
one you you started with a great point it's early um right now I'm just trying to figure out my role
in this offense um really learning The Playbook is is my biggest thing right now um we still have a
a good amount of time till week one uh so making sure that I'm comfortable uh in the Playbook
and making sure that I'm able to to play fast as possible um that that's my biggest Focus right
now it really does sound like Jan is a guy who's going to buy into whatever role he has in this
offense and right now like you said it's early so he's just still learning but it's great that
he sounds like he's very focused and I'm confident that he'll be about as ready as he can be when
week one rolls around and he'll be able to just be another solid weapon on offense for Jaylen Herz to
go to but now moving on doson isn't the only one Eagles Make SURPRISING UNDERRATED Move! who just got here recently and is going to have a
lot of learning to do before the week one opener in Brazil as the birds just went out and made a
surprising move by signing a very promising young defensive player to their active roster and don't
worry we're going to get into that and so much more in just a minute but real quick I do want
to say if you are enjoying this video and don't want to miss any Eagles coverage or content coming
throughout this entire season then make sure you guys subscribe and also really really importantly
turn on notifications so you're notified instantly when one of these videos is uploaded I think
that's a win-win for the both of us because not only do I get more people consistently watching
these videos but you don't miss any other eagles coverage or content just like this so again
subscribe turn on notifications and also drop a like let's see if we can hit 800 likes on today's
video now with all that being said let's get back into the video so as I was saying yesterday the
Eagles made a very interesting and also pretty surprising roster move as they were able to claim
former third round pick defensive tackle Byron young off waivers while also releasing defensive
tackle Marlin Tui palu now I now first off I would assume that they want to get Tui pelu back on the
practice squad and maybe by the time this video is out they've made that move already or maybe
he signed elsewhere who knows but getting back to Young this is a very interesting signing by the
birds as he was just drafted in the third round in last year's draft so it was certainly a bit of a
surprise when the Raiders cut him especially since he was on the initial 53 man roster but the Eagles
clearly liked him because they were immediately on it when he was let go and now he's obviously
been signed in not the practice squad but the 53 man roster so that should tell you how they view
him now in his one NFL season with the Raiders he struggled for sure as he appeared in just six
games and only registered four tackles in very limited playing time but that doesn't mean that
he doesn't have ability as during his time at Alabama he was a really good player for them on
the defensive line as ahead of the draft it was said that young was ready for the physicality
of the NFL and ready to play all three Downs plus his strength and leverage that he played
with was also considered to be impressive and his ability to take on blockers and still stop the
run and make tackles was also noted as a strength of his as well plus he also flashed as a pass
rusher at times especially in his senior season where he got four sacks now that's not saying that
young doesn't have his weaknesses as his lateral movement wasn't all that great and he was very
raw and someone that relied on his ability to just overpower guys in college so he definitely has to
develop more of a bag to Be an Effective rusher in the NFL but overall young is a promising young
player that if the Eagles develop effectively could be a solid contributor as a rotational
linan on their defense so overall I really do like this signing and I think it's a lowrisk
high reward type of move now I'm definitely not putting super high expectations on it or anything
like that but I still definitely like it so what are your guys thoughts on this signing give me all
your opinions down in the comments below but now DeVonta Smith Reveals Britain Covey's POSITIVE IMPACT In Locker Room! moving back to the wide receiver room and the
guy who could possibly be the secret weapon of that group we look at Britain cvy as even though
he's not going to have a super big role in the offensive side of the ball with the acquisition
of Jan doson he's still yet another weapon that the Eagles have in that room with a valuable
skill set as a slot receiver who when he get the ball in his hands can be very dangerous but
perhaps what's even more valuable is his impact in the locker room and Devonte Smith actually spoke
about that yesterday in his press conference he's a phenomenal person phenomenal player um just the
relationship um it's more than just football um what is us talking about you know the kids and
things like that or anything else um he's just he's he's the light of the room in the room he's
the guy that's always keeping the spirits up um you know no matter if anybody's having a bad day
he's going to be the the guy got to always make sure that everybody in the room is having fun
that whoever it is that maybe down a day that he doesn't continue to let them feel that way
yeah I know this may not be the grabbies news out there but I just feel like whenever there's
something out there about Britain cvy I feel like I just have to mention it because he's the epitome
of a guy who despite not having all the physical tools or the freakish traits that some of these
other guys have he just works extremely hard and approaches every single day being positive and
focusing on what he can control and according to Smitty he's also a fantastic Lo room guy
and it's led him to where he is now being a locked to be on the roster and the team's fourth
receiver and punt returner and I'm just personally really rooting for him to have a ton of success
this year and someone else who I'm going to be Will Shipley CHANGES Number! rooting for going forward in his career is the
rookie running back will Shipley and he recently made a very nice change as he switched his number
from 39 to 28 which is a massive upgrade in my opinion and again this is just another guy that
I am excited about and think can make an impact in whatever role that he's given and I feel the
same way about the safety Sydney Brown as I think Sydney Brown BIG UPDATE! he's a super talented player who brings a type of
physicality and energy to the Eagles defense that they desperately need and whenever he returns from
injury I think Vic fangio absolutely has to find a way to get him out on the field consistently
and speaking of brown returning from his injury it seems like he's getting even closer as in my
video yesterday I talked about a video that he posted of himself going through a drill and also
a glimpse that I caught of him in uniform during Wednesday's practice but what I unfortunately
missed was all the footage from yesterday and Thursday's practice showcasing Brown even more as
he was once again out on the field in uniform and even though he wasn't a full participant or doing
team drills a lot of what he was doing was really promising as he was mainly seen sprinting and
doing pun coverage and even with the brace on that knee he was moving really fast and really
smoothly and this is the first time that we've seen Sid doing anything like this since the
injury so it just seems like he's getting more and more healthy by the day and nearing a
return now he's still almost guaranteed to start the season on the pup list and miss the first
four games but it's definitely a great sign that he seems to be getting even more healthy
and fighting to return as fast as possible but now getting to some breaking news from today the
Eagles announced the captains for the 2024 season Eagles REVEAL Captains! (ft. Jordan Mailata) and they are Jaylen Herz Lane Johnson Brandon
Graham AJ Brown Darius Slay Jake Elliot and the one first timer on this list is Jordan milot
all right here's your captains lane Jordan AJ jayen slay BG Jake this is your guys team right this
is your guys team we need you to lead it so huge congrats to all those guys and they
definitely all deserve it little extra shout out to milato for being a first time captain

Sequon Barkley who quickly became a leader for the bird since getting here but there's only so
many spots to go around obviously and again all the guys that were selected definitely deserve it
so again congrats to them now the eagle season is Outro about to start in just a week from today and

the Eagles news throughout the entire season so if you don't want to miss any of that again
