  • Great Philly Podcast!

    John Clark is the best Philly sports coverage has to offer, and has been for years. His podcast is no different, he continues to raise the bar.

    Clark provides great insights without the absurd hysteria and hot takes that unfortunately marks the bulk of Philly sports coverage - I’m looking at you Angelo! It’s a great peek behind the scenes of your favorite teams for both the die hard and casual fan alike. Fun, interesting, illuminating hour well spent. Go Birds!

Nakobe Dean on the Eagles' defense, playing with Georgia teammates & giving back to Philly

For sure, I feel like Philly was my home for a good amount of time now.
Nakobe Dean on the Eagles' defense, playing with Georgia teammates & giving back to Philly
Q: How is it you guys, you're back three games, you got Jalen Phillips jumping in the last two. How are you guys able to play so together?
It's the way we work and how we connect off the field, creating a band of brothers mentality.
Greg Cosell on what's wrong with the Eagles' offense and if they have time to fix it
Q: So what do you think has to happen for the offense to improve?
Both the running game and passing game must improve; they need more diversity in their passing concepts to support the lack of a strong running game.
Greg Cosell on what's wrong with the Eagles' offense and if they have time to fix it
Q: What do you think is the biggest issue or even the top several issues with the Eagles offense this year?
The offensive line is not performing at a high enough level, and specifically, they can't get the running back past the first level of the defense.
DeVonta Smith on his journey to greatness and frustrations with Eagles offense
Q: How do you think you are progressing towards your goal of making the Pro Bowl?
I need to pick it up as there are some guys playing very well, so I need to improve these last few weeks.
