Matt Rogers and O.J. Spivey from The Philadelphia Tribune/WDAS 105.3 preview the Week 2 Eagles vs. Chiefs “Super Bowl Rematch” and the rest of the Week 2 slate. They give their picks on: PHI @ KC, DEN @ IND, CHI @ DET, ATL @ MIN, TB @ HOU, LAC @ LV. 03:38 - “Often times — as we have seen throughout the Super Bowl era… We’ve seen teams reach the Super Bowl and say ‘Oh yeah. If they just get this or they just do this, that, a third, they can get back.’ And some never get back. And, as we’ve seen, a couple have gone back but they haven’t gotten it done.” — O.J. Spivey04:20 - “It’s not even a guarantee that you’ll even make the playoffs the following season. Every year (and I get these stats directly from the NFL) since 1990 — this even predates the current format of realignment or the 2002 realignment — (free agency, salary cap, etc.): there will always be at least 4 new teams that have made the playoffs who missed the playoffs the previous year.” — O.J. Spivey05:45 - “I always say when I talk about football: the Eli Manning example. All you need is a ticket to the dance and think things can just fall the way they need to and you end up with your team’s colored confetti.” — Matt Rogers09:58 - “Landon Dickerson has been a full participant in practice this week, but he was a little banged up. So that’s going to be a little interesting to see. But, as we saw in the Super Bowl, Chris Jones: he was not a factor at all.” — O.J. Spivey12:05 - “I think it appears as though he [Zadarius Smith] got in a full week of practice and he’s so eager and energetic when he spoke with the media this week. He looks in tremendous shape — by the way. I’d say maybe about up to 25% of the snaps perhaps.” — O.J. Spivey14:20 - “Is it going to be no-step-drop, throw to whoever Adoree Jackson is guarding? Because last week he was BBQ chicken. They were just licking their fingers. They had BBQ dripping all in their stache’ and in their beards.” — Matt Rogers16:20 - “You brought up Ringo. I didn’t want to bring up Ringo, but now that we’ve brought up Ringo, it’s pretty crystal-clear that Ringo’s not the guy. They went and got Jakorian Bennett. They’ve got Adoree out there getting roasted last week and Ringo’s still on the side sticking to just the Special Teams duty. I don’t think I saw Ringo with any snaps.” — Matt Rogers21:05 - “What fans have to realize is that winning teams are not good for the sports-talk business. Sports radio thrives off of losing. Sports radio thrives off of having fans to vent that ‘oh yeah this team sucks’, or ‘fire the coach’, ‘fire this’, ‘get rid of this guy; get rid of that guy.’ When you have a winning team, such as the Eagles and you have an elite superstar, Super Bowl MVP QB in Jalen Hurts, you have nothing left to do but to conjure up from the sublime to the ridiculous.” — O.J. Spivey23:10 - “A.J. is saying all of the right things — for the most part. But you see little inklings here and there. Of course he wants the ball; we all understand that. DeVonta Smith wants the ball. But you see media guys are trying to chip away; trying to get them to say something... A.J. has to be careful… We’re talking about Jalen Carter not taking the bait. A.J. can’t take the bait.” — O.J. Spivey33:28 - “I do think — oddly — somehow, someway that Adoree Jackson is going to find his way hands to having the football in his hands. He’s going to get a lot of opportunities to make it happen, too.” — Matt Rogers35:10 - “If y’all re-watch the run … I don’t mean to throw him under the bus. Adoree, if you’re listening: hey, [this is] tackling fuel. But on that long run to Miles Sanders before the fumble, watch Adoree Jackson on that play.” — Matt Rogers47:30 - “Whether you are a critic of [C.J.] Stroud or not, it’s looking like they are doing him a disservice. And the way that line has been looking — going back from the second round of the playoffs to last week — Stroud might not get through this season healthy if this keeps going. Something has to give.” — O.J. Spivey48:12 - “I think C.J. Stroud made a big mistake. Even if he decided, in his own head, that he wanted to say, ‘I’m him; I’ve figured out the NFL.’ But when you say that … This is a league people are paying mortgages on and their mamas’ mortgages and their cousins’; generational wealth. People like a Todd Bowles will take offense at that. ‘Oh, you’ve figured this out?’” — Matt Rogers• ⁃ 51:31 - “What were they telling Jalen Hurts a few years ago? No more excuses. No more excuses for Justin Herbert. If there is a time where you can slay the dragon, dethrone the champion Kansas City Chiefs. He’s supposed to have his coach now, right? No more excuses.”
