unCovering the Birds: A live pod with Mike Quick
Jeff McLane and Eagles Radio Network analyst and former wide receiver Mike Quick reflect on Philadelphia’s triumphant championship win and explore strategies for the offseason to secure another championship run.
It’s been a little more than a month since the Philadelphia Eagles smashed the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. While the Eagles’ front office has been forced to move on rather quickly due to a flurry of offseason activity, the afterglow from the team’s second championship run remains strong. Case in point? A recent live taping of unCovering the Birds between The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Eagles Radio Network staple Mike Quick at Fitler Club in Center City.
The duo discussed plenty of topical items, from recent free agency developments to new coaching hires, but also put key storylines from the Eagles’ latest title run into context. Where does Jalen Hurts belong in conversations about elite NFL quarterbacks? How has Nick Sirianni become so effective at his job in such a relatively short period of time? And what makes Saquon Barkley one of Mike’s favorite all-time Eagles? Plus, Jeff and Mike take questions from the audience. Listen to hear great stories from the Eagles’ historic season, and find out whether Jeff and Mike think the team is capable of bringing another parade to Broad Street next year.
