This is EXACTLY what i was waiting for. REAL analysis of our acquisitions - not a bunch of hot take garble. Thank you, ITB. Please keep up the great work, gentlemen. We really appreciate all of the Intel and the education on our beloved Birds you guys provide for us. Fly Eagles Fly

[@TheEaglesGuru]

Yeah but he made the shit up about Huff only lining up on left side -- a lot of vaguery in his analysis, and then he gets caught red-handed with the fictional stats

Objective with a solid sprinkle of PROFESSIONAL opinion!

THANK YOU! MON FRÈRE

[@stickshiftt9127]

Greg Cossell is a legit analyst. He actually knows football

[@Mma-basement-215]

Greg is so good at breaking down film honestly I leaned so much from listen to him thank you guys ...Fly Eagles Fly 🦅

[@bigjigg5672]

The "Intel" that WE ALL NEEDED & WANTED!💯

[@pierrekid]

Greg Cosell is excellent. I Respect his informed platform and open minded delivery

[@MikeYTnc]

Finally....the free agent analysis I've been waiting for!!!! Greg's intel is the best!! ITB FTW!!

[@Mr.Wrong1]

Been a huge fan of The Silver And Black for around 45 years now. However ITB shows are a must watch for me. Love your content. I always learn something. Thank you for making me smarter guys, really appreciate it. Keep it up. X

[@Tmindful182]

I get the feeling howie looks at Baun as misused in New Orleans. Theres a clip of him rushing & beating Penei Sewell with a nice move & it’s all he did in college. Good 3 - 4 fit & special teamer.

[@DABUFFEAGLE]

Finally someone that looks at the fact and not the hopes and dreams of this league

[@RegalEagle1979]

I love ITB, and The Intel is an awesome show!

Great Intel.. Good job fellas! Go birds #vigornomy

[@409Ripper]

Loved it 👍

[@lmfao9007]

There was an interview where howie was talking about finding the next trend and I think it is these long tall linebackers, fred warner archetype

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

Real Intel, no Shock Jock BS.

🙌

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

@@InsideTheBirds- You guys give me faith that it can be done, in a world where clicks have become currency. I listen to ITB, NBC Philly, and a few content creators who I can trust aren't just being reactionary for views.

[@InsideTheBirds]

As you know, we're not a talk or rehash show, all about information and what's ahead

[@mrhkp2000]

I know it’s water under the bridge but I would’ve rather seen the Eagles make a push (don’t know if they did) for Jerome Baker instead of Devin White.

[@pauldixonjr.224]

Fan reaction aside, based on what they are paying Parker, doesn’t it seem as though from the Eagles perspective that the “crap shoot” on a veteran WR with traits for potential depth purposes is exactly why the Eagles signed him? I doubt they actually see him as a guaranteed (or maybe even viable) #3. I hear someone say (it may have even been on this channel in the past) that teams make these depth signings a lot so they don’t get desperate and over draft for need to fill out the roster 🤷‍♂️

[@thebullera]

so after cosell says white has been out of shape the last two years and then hearing white speak at the presser taking about challenging Dean in the weight room and pushing each other to get better and stay in shape. do you think there's a correlation to this? does Devin know these things affected him or was it a product of a bad environment? do you think Dean will help him get back on track getting in shape?

[@InsideTheBirds]

Has not been brought to our attention, but again, tape hasn't been good since year 3.

[@TheEaglesGuru]

Cosell with misinformation about where Huff lines up "only on the left side of the defense, the same side Reddick lines up on".... yeah that's completely fictional. Last season: 41% on the right side 59% on the left side

[@d.btalkinnow6492]

Fact

[@Mma-basement-215]

Yeah I think Smith is the big question on the outside.. will he put on a lil size and strength.. can he live up to his potential..I feel like there going to give him a chance and that's fair I wanna see the kid play I think he could be a good player.. maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part..but I wanna see

[@subgenso6282]

Howie rolls the dice. Will it come up boxcars or snake eyes like last year?

[@mrcte]

Greg hate to say it but you’re a bit off on Huff. True, mostly played left side but he also can rush from the right side very well. Exhibit A: Gave Jordan Mailata the business a few times actually when we played the Jets. I still think moving off of Reddick is a big big mistake though.

[@TheEaglesGuru]

He completely made that up -- he played 41% from right side LOL

[@Barca4Life777]

What is everyone's thoughts on Huff? I don't understand why we dished out so much money over 3 years for a situational pash rusher with only 1 good year on his resume. Unproven, and not an every down player who is a horrible against the run. Am I missing something here or did Howie just sign him based on his 10 sacks last year? I'm very scared of this signing. We should've just paid Reddick a bit more instead of this gamble I feel like...

[@InsideTheBirds]

They weren't concerned with his run defense nor were the other teams interested in him; challenge is how well he can play as a full-time starter for the first time in his career. We're looking forward to seeing him in training camp with his new role.

[@bobwhitebread1887]

Why does everbody want a slot receiver to be short ? I think Chip Kelly had it right byng a big receiver in the slot because most slot cornerbacks are short.

[@InsideTheBirds]

Typically (but not always), shorter wrs get open faster on shallower routes

[@gabrielmosler3454]

@@InsideTheBirdsif other teams weren’t interest why pay him 17m a year ?

[@Southphillyben]

Ouy my guy’s.

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

Huff's signing makes me think we are possibly trading up for an Edge Rusher in a weak Edge draft.

[@InsideTheBirds]

Assuming they move Reddick in trade, yes. Sweat regressed+on final season of contract

[@cheesesteak22]

is there someone even worth trading up for?

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

@@cheesesteak22 - I could see trading up for Verse, Latu, or Chop. I don't think Turner gets beyond maybe Atlanta (unless they trade for Haasan lol)

[@nicholasevangelist2206]

It doesn’t sound like Greg Cosell is overly impressed with any of Howie’s signings.

[@InsideTheBirds]

Mixed

How in the f%#K does inside the birds only have 15k followers?

[@InsideTheBirds]

🤷

[@matthewbranch3443]

These two don’t know football saying they can’t keep Reddick for what they paid huff . Acting like they can’t afford both. Huff and Reddick will both be on opening roster . Huff does play on right side some . Watch highlights he plays both

[@InsideTheBirds]

Let us know what they're paying Reddick and Huff this season since you seem to think you know

[@chadmillermusic6722]

Geee, I wonder why Devin white hasn’t succeeded these last two years. Is it maybe that Todd bowels has been the head coach? We know he’s a great DC but let’s be honest, he’s not a good head coach

[@SillyBastard]

Wish we could at least Tyler Huntley over Pickens he wouldve ran Philly offense

[@mnat089]

Ditto!

[@SillyBastard]

@@mnat089 what you mean by that

[@SillyBastard]

@@mnat089 Pickens alright he didn't have a o line in Pittsburgh, but I'd rather another mobile QB, Huntley got vision lil speed and potential, played behind Lamar Jackson, I got my eye on jordan love next year, coming from under Arron Rodger, hurts got Carson Wentz skills, along with playing calling and the NFL being scripted

@@SillyBastard 'Ditto' means I agreed with that statement. What don't you understand? You wrote it.....
