00:02 - We gotta talk about it.
00:04 I'm a big weather guy.
00:05 Right now as we speak here on Friday evening,
00:08 it should rain for most of the game.
00:10 Now, yes, forecasts could change and I sure hope it does.
00:14 I like a clean game with the weather,
00:16 but the Eagles, if it does rain,
00:18 it would be the third straight game with rain for the Eagles
00:21 and we know how they were able to come back
00:23 and win last week and did the same thing.
00:25 They've actually come back.
00:26 They were down 17-7.
00:28 The last two games, they were able to come back
00:30 in the second half where the coaches did a good job
00:32 of adjusting to what the defenses were giving them
00:34 and did a great job to close.
00:36 But for the Eagles now, they've got injury issues.
00:38 Now, here's some positive news,
00:39 though we won't play this week most likely.
00:41 Dallas got it, they're tight end.
00:43 They're starting tight end.
00:44 He started working his way back today
00:46 from the broken left forearm.
00:47 He was allowed to get some work in.
00:50 He's not expected to play.
00:51 Lissett is doubtful.
00:52 So that's still a concern.
00:53 Now, the thought process is here.
00:56 They play at Dallas next Sunday night.
00:59 The thought is here that he probably should get clear
01:01 for that, but it is a factor.
01:03 In fact, a big reason why, I was talking to a team
01:06 that's playing the Eagles in the next couple weeks.
01:08 This person said to me, he was in scouting,
01:10 said that the big reason he thinks the Eagles
01:12 are running a lot of 10 personnel,
01:14 which is four receiver sets, which they typically never do,
01:17 is because without Goddard, they don't have anyone
01:19 who's really good pass catcher at tight end
01:20 or proven that they can do it.
01:22 And they're spreading it out.
01:23 And by the way, look for them to do that
01:25 against the Niners, who have a good secondary,
01:27 but they're not very deep.
01:28 And for the Niners, Eric Armstead, by the way,
01:30 started working today back with foot injury.
01:31 He should be able to go on Sunday.
01:33 Goddard won't play there.
01:35 The Eagles are down two of their top four inside linebackers.
01:37 That's not good.
01:39 Go against Christian McCaffrey, who could be devastating
01:41 against this Eagles defense on Sunday.
01:43 And one thing I would tell you about that is,
01:45 the Eagles have really not faced any great
01:47 or very good pass catching running backs.
01:50 That's gonna change on Sunday with McCaffrey coming to town.
