"Looking Forward To Something At Linebacker?" (PST Show #474)
The Philadelphia Eagles are the early stages of their training camp and the preseason. It's an exciting time to think about where this team can go this coming year given their offseason moves and acquisitions. Shane Haff from ThePaintedLines.com and the Chalk Talk podcast joined us for an in-depth discussion this week focused on a bunch of various Eagles training camp storylines.
But first, we dove into the recent trades made by the Phillies at the trade deadline. Yes, this team appears to have gotten better from a talent perspective as they're looking down a wild card spot in the NL. (approx. 3:10)
From there, we responded to Listener Feedback. The question posed to us was: who has done more long-term damage to their team? Chuck Fletcher, the Colangelos, or McPhail/Klentak? (approx. 14:25)
Then we discussed and gave our viewpoints on how the NBA is now investigating the Sixers for "illegal tampering" before free agency. (approx. 27:15)
Moving on, we gave some thoughts on storylines that have been boiling up within the NFL: Kyler Murray's contract situation and the "independent study" and Deshaun Watson's suspension and how the NFL's suspension system is out of whack. (approx. 34:55)
What we threw down on the Table this week was a great discussion Shane Haff from The Painted Lines about Eagles training camp, what we're seeing, and what we can expect this coming season on offensive, defensive, and special teams. What's the logical next step for DeVonta Smith within this Eagles offense? What will Jordan Davis bring to the defensive line this year, and the years to come? Will the Eagles ever get a productive kick and punt returner? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (approx. 45:10)
