Eagles Bye Week Check-in With Zach Berman!

The Eagles are sitting at 6-2 with a big lead in the division heading into their bye week. Sheil Kapadia is joined by Zach Berman of The Athletic to discuss the progress of the reigning Super Bowl champs. They analyze this week's trade in which Philly acquired five-year veteran slot corner Michael Carter II from the Jets in exchange for John Metchie III. How will Carter fit into Vic Fangio’s defense, and could we see Cooper DeJean play more outside corner (02:37)? The trade deadline is quickly approaching, and the Eagles could use some help in the pass rush. Who are some possible targets at the deadline (16:57)? Will the Eagles offense see more improvement after the bye week (30:07)? What about on defense? Could there be progress when some players come back from injury (35:50)? What does the rest of the season look like for A.J. Brown (38:29)? How will the Eagles finish out the season (44:12)? Plus, a mailbag full of airport and plane etiquette dilemmas (57:57).
