Speaker 1: this Friday edition of the Eagles Update. The team had
Speaker 1: a little bit of fun during today's later session. Head
Speaker 1: coach Doug Pearson gave the players an opportunity to get
Speaker 1: out of meetings this evening. All the pressure was on
Speaker 1: Jason Piers and Fletcher Cox to each field up punt
Speaker 1: from Cameron Johnson. If they did so, then the players
Speaker 1: would get the night off. Well, the veterans came through
Speaker 1: in the clutch. I think Doug he was trying to
Speaker 1: explain something about curfew. Didn't get the memo, but I
Speaker 1: just know I had to go back and catch the ball.
Speaker 1: So I had no idea what was behind that. So
Speaker 1: bottom lines, wasn't mean that because you and Fletcher came
Speaker 1: up with the big clutch catches, you guys get the
Speaker 1: night off. Yeah, I think we get an extra hour
Speaker 1: or no, I don't. I really don't know, to be honest,

Speaker 1: could run with it? Or no? I lost in the sun.

Speaker 1: related matter. Blunt had a career year in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: for the Patriots as he helped them win the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: rushing for over eleven hundred yards and scoring an NFL
Speaker 1: best eighteen touchdowns on the ground. Here in Philadelphia, Blunt
