PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JANUARY 21: Boston Scott #35 of the Philadelphia Eagles carries the ball against the New York Giants during the second quarter in the NFC Divisional Playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field on January 21, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Andrew Salciunas and Ray Dunne were both out today. So Connor Thomas filled in as host, with Tom Alvord in the producer’s chair. That also means it fell on Tom to be in charge of The Audio Vault. He looked at Boston Scott beating up the Giants, the time the Eagles drafted Chuck Bednarik, Jayson Werth signing with the Phillies, and the Birthday of a Phillies “legend.”

Here is the lineup from The Audio Vault Today:

  • Boston Scott Dominating the Giants
    • His 3 TD game against them in 2019, “Who is Boston Scott?”
  • On this day in 1949, the Eagles selected Chuck Bednarik first overall in the draft
    • Chuck Bednarik talking about his legendary hit on Frank Gifford
  • On this day in 2006, the Phillies signed Jayson Werth
  • Happy Birthday John Mayberry Jr.
    • His Opening Day walk-off vs the Astros

You can listen to the Audio Vault below:

Philadelphia Eagles Projected 2023 Week 16 Starters

The Philadelphia Eagles are reeling after three consecutive losses. They now face the heaviest adversity of the 2023 NFL season. They’ll enter Week 16 against the New York Giants without at least one of their key starters after Darius Slay recently underwent surgery.

Eagles Facing Adversity

The three-game losing streak has sent shockwaves of panic throughout the fan base. It looked bad at Lincoln Financial Field against the 49ers. It got a lot worse in Dallas. The low point of the season came in Seattle.

The Eagles have struggled with the same weaknesses throughout the 2023 season, and their recent opponents have exposed their flaws brutally.

Jalen Hurts threw two more interceptions against the Seahawks. He has turned the ball over 17 times during the 2023 season. The Giants don’t look like an overwhelming opponent at 5-9. However, the Eagles can’t overlook any opponent given their circumstances.

Nick Sirianni has begun his NFL head coaching career with a 33-15 record in regular-season games. He now faces the greatest challenge of his tenure with the Eagles.

Projected Philadelphia Eagles Week 16 Starters

Slay and Zach Cunnigham both missed the loss against the Seattle Seahawks. Kelee Ringo, Eli Ricks, and Josh Jobe all rotated in for Slay at cornerback. Nicholas Morrow played every defensive snap while Shaq Leonard increased his role with the team’s best linebacker unavailable.

Cam Jurgens missed his sixth game of the season because of a pec injury. Sua Opeta started in his place.

Sydney Brown also played a more significant role on defense even with a healthy Reed Blankenship in the lineup. The rookie third-rounder struggled to finish tackles and stick in coverage, so it will be interesting to see if Matt Patricia continues to use him in a rotational role.

With the need for a bounce-back effort, Sirianni hopes to have his roster at full strength.
