    What Will Josh Grizzard Bring to the Passing Game? (Hour 2)

    (0:00 - 18:42) Josh Grizzard is known for having his offenses run a lot of pre-snap motion. How excited should Eagles fans be if he brings that style of offense to Philadelphia? Chris Canty of ESPN's Unsportsmanlike said that the Eagles hiring Sean Mannion was a huge risk. Ricky and Bill disagree on the mindset of hiring Grizzard as a backup plan for Mannion if he were to struggle calling plays. (18:53 - 32:41) Ricky, Bill, and Andrew quickly reflect on the 2000-2001 Eastern Conference Champion 76ers team ahead of the 25th Anniversary Reunion Game tomorrow night at Xfinity Mobile Arena, where the team will be honored during the Sixers' matchup against the Pelicans. Hear what ESPN's Dan Orlovsky had to say about coaches who come from the Kyle Shanahan/Sean McVay coaching tree. Bill then asks Andrew why fans are so overprotective of Jalen Hurts and won't acknowledge any of his flaws and/or poor performances. (32:52 - 42:31) Bill doesn't understand why Nick Sirianni gets so much hate when he is arguably the most successful head coach in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles. No one gives Sirianni credit when the Eagles win, but he gets a ton of blame when they lose. Then, Ricky, Bill, and Andrew go through NBC Sports Philadelphia's Reuben Frank's article titled "10 things you didn't know about Eagles OC Sean Mannion."

    Unexpected Eagles News Coming Soon? (Hour 1)

    (0:00 - 17:41) Yesterday on Kincade & Salciunas, ESPN's Adam Schefter hinted that the offensive coordinator search isn't the only thing going on with the Eagles. After listening to what Schefter said, Ricky and Bill discuss what that other news could be. Could it be a retirement, a trade, a stadium change, etc.? (17:53 - 32:25) As the Eagles' search for an offensive coordinator continues, Sean Mannion, who was the Packers' quarterbacks coach in 2025, looks like a potential frontrunner for the job. Sylvana introduces today's Twitter poll, which asks, "Would you be excited if the Eagles hired Sean Mannion as their next offensive coordinator? Yes or no?" (32:37 - 42:30) The Eagles had great offensive coordinators in 2022 and 2024, and they both left after the season to become head coaches. Should Eagles fans care if the team's next offensive coordinator leaves after one season? Listen to what Howie Roseman had to say about that at his end-of-season press conference.
