WEBVTT - Eagles Update: Great News On Ronald Darby

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh he goes fans. I'm Chris McPherson and welcome to

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles Update. It's a jam packed edition, so let's

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>get right into it. The Eagles prepared on Wednesday for

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Sunday's showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs, led by AFC

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Offensive Player of the Week Alex Smith. The Eagles won't

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>have Ronald Darby more on him in a little bit,

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>so it'll be up to players like rookie Russeul Douglas

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>to step up and help fill the void. Nah, I

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>have an idea. It's up to the coaches and everybody

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>is just working to see who we call, who name

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>he called, and when he calls one of our numbers,

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you have confidence, not like guys, so we're our confidence

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>on it's next man up. I mean, who whoever's gonna

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>be that next guy? You know what I mean? We

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta know whoever that is, he's gonna come and play,

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. And as far as me

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>getting pressureds I mean, the guy's trust me. Coachwards trust me,

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>because do some trust me? You know, everybody on the

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>defense trust me. So as far as that goes, they

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to go out there and play my bast football.

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these guys are ready. They're prepared to prepare

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>every day to in case they gotta, you know, step

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>into a row there one, you know, play one injury

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 1>away from from either moving up or being in the game.

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And so I think they always prepared with that mindset.

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>So we don't expect him to approach this week any different.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles did get some good news regarding Derby. There

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>was no ligament damage in his dislocated right ankle, and

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll be back on the field in four to six weeks. No,

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it ain't. I don't have to get surgery or anything,

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>so I should be okay. Day was worried about me,

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>but everyone happy that, you know, it wasn't that serious.

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna be back. Yeah, I'm gonna be back.

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>It's only four to sixty years. Carson Wentz is no

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>longer the most famous native of North Dakota. That honor

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>belongs to Miss America herself, Kara Mund. In fact, the

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>two of them went to Bismarck Century High School together.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>That was pretty cool. Obviously Kara knew her a little

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>bit in high school. It's really cool for her, you know,

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it's really cool. I don't really follow up Miss America

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>too much, but obviously now I've heard all about it.

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So that's pretty cool for Bismarck for Century High School.

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>My buddy was calling me the other night. She wanted

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>He's like, yeah, your old news now in business herself.

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool. Two years ago, Cab Sturgis got a

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.959
<v Speaker 1>job with the Eagles when Cody Parkey suffered it injury.

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Now Jake Elliott is in for Sturgis, who is nursing

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.119
<v Speaker 1>a hip injury. Nothing is guaranteed for Elliott, who wants

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to make the most of the opportunity. I'll just come

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>in here. We're excited and um, you know, just just

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>get ready to your job. Basically, he's coming in here

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and really excited to this opportunity, and you know, I

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>don't see what happens. Andy Reid was the Eagles head

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>coach for fourteen seasons through the twenty twelve campaign. There

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>are still eight Eagles who played for Reid, and they

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>share some of their favorite memories of the former coach.

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>What I love is if you mess up, he gonna

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>yeah let you. But he don't hold on anything. And

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that's one thing I learned from coach Read.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, he don't hold on in grudges, and I

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's what I like about him. There's a lot

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>of great moments. You know, he was, you know, a

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>great guy, great coach. And when I first got drafted,

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was all smiles. I was awesomiles. He

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>was happy to have me here, and I was actually

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>happy to be a part every this organization. Now. You know,

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 1>he did tell me that, you know, hey, we brought

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>you here to play. M you know, we didn't bring

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>you here that, you know, to to you know, to

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>be just you know, some just a feeling and guy,

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you brought me here to play. One thing. One thing

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.239
<v Speaker 1>about Coach Rue. He can tell you about your family, everybody,

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, where you grew up, like everything about you.

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>And he did that to all the players, don't matter

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>if he was practice squad to all the way up

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>to the you know, Michael Vix and everybody. So just

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 1>want to see a coach like that was like, WHOA,

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.720
