00:00Today for the sports millions pick I wanted to tie take a look at some of the defensive options out there who could stand out

00:05Who could surprise and who could really influence the game here?

00:08and one of the things for the Philadelphia Eagles and we talked about the

00:12Talent for that roster and some of the guys who are great you expect say Quan Lane Johnson AJ Brown, right?

00:18Jordan, my Lada and then there's Zach bond who out of nowhere found himself as

00:24First team all pro at the linebacker position you follow the Eagles franchise

00:28You know that the linebacker position is typically a weakness

00:31I guess it's no surprise that they were able to flip things around this year wasn't just

00:35The additions of Quinion Mitchell and Cooper Dejean their rookies in the secondary

00:39It was having Zach bond play at this level

00:43Well today on sports millions pick him his tackles plus assists eight and a half

00:48I think that's a higher bond flies around to the football

00:51Didn't hit this in his last game that he played which is week 17 against Dallas

00:55You'd be hard-pressed to find bond missing this multiple times in a row Donnie. He's been one of the best for the birds

01:02Oh, yeah, absolutely has been him assigned for basically a special team

01:06Outside linebacker to rush the passer who's now been converted into the backers into as a middle linebacker

01:11And also I'm gonna say I'm gonna enjoy watching him on the Pittsburgh Sears of the Baltimore Ravens next year

01:15They'll probably pay him top dollar at this point, but let's enjoy him here in Philadelphia. Why you have him?

01:19Yes, absolutely

01:20If you're looking for a rock'em sock'em robot game, this might not be it

01:23But there's colder temperatures in Philadelphia with a really good running game on Green Bay

01:27This guy sits right in the middle of it and also keep in mind a very stoop blitzer to Joe

01:32Absolutely, and if they I think that the Eagles try to take away Josh Jacobs and the rushing attack which could open up on in

01:39regards to even sack opportunities

01:41again, Jordan Davis and we talk about Jalen Carter in the middle of that the you have to take away Josh Jacobs and

01:47Force the game out to Jordan love in terms of predictable long third downs you do that

01:52You could have a slightly similar result to what we saw yesterday with Justin Herbert
