Les Bowen: Philadelphia Eagles Talk w/ Tim McManus & John McMullen | Bowen On The Birds | A2D Radio

Today Les Bowen is joined by Tim McManus, who covers the Philadelphia Eagles for ESPN. Then later in the show, Les welcomes veteran journalist John McMullen, also a strong presence on the Eagles beat. With the NFL Preseason game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Brown looming in the distance, our panel takes a look at the last two days of joint practices and previews tonight’s match up. Did we already see tonight’s outcome play out in practice? Will tonight be a showcase of the backups? During the joint practices, the Eagles offensive line had difficulty handling the Brown’s Myles Garrett. That is until Garrett left Tuesday’s practice with a foot injury. Did Garrett’s absence provide a confidence boost for the Eagles? Eagles’ Defensive Tackle rookie Jalen Carter has made waves over the last few days following his brief appearance in the preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens and the joint practices this week. Has it been enough to make up for the defection of Jason Hargrave during NFL Free Agency? Who will step up and fill the void left by former Temple Owl Shaun Bradley following his season ending injury last week against Baltimore? Moving on from last week and looking to the future, 2023 sixth-round pick Tanner McKee went 10 for 20 passes for 148 yards and completed several deep passes. Despite the loss, McKee looks like he has locked up his spot on the roster…for now. Can McKee improve on those numbers tonight against the Browns? Fourth-round selection Sydney Brown also saw his stock rise thanks in part to his smart play. Will he keep it up to earn the second starting safety spot to join Reed Blankenship? Join Les Bowen to find out the answers to these questions and more today on Bowen On The Birds!
