I'm surprised how cinematic the show can be. The way it ended with Arnold's private workout with the narrator closing it out on him was a straight up cliffhanger.

It felt weird seeing Hall get chewed out for practicing his craft. I understand protect the QB but which side covered for Sam Darnold's miscues in the super bowl?
Not sure what the OL has to do with Hall not following team practice rules.... 🤷‍♂️

Hall has a John Randle intensity, one gear on the field, as our DC said it's what makes him special, just dangerous in these kind of drills, he did say he is trying to learn and understand why.

Personal side note.
I’m aware that the Eagles have rebounded really well since the days not that long ago, and that they even are a bit of a nuisance in some parts of Alaska.
However where I live on the lake in Texas we have a couple of breeding pairs that return every year, and I get to see them fairly often.
I always feel honored and a bit patriotic when I do see them, and typically it turns out to be a great day (even if it’s coincidental)
It’s not uncommon when the fledglings start becoming strong that we see them dive bombing and playing with each other. I very recently captured these shots right in my own yard.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Great stuff! Especially inyour backyard.

Hall got chewed out for not listening to the coach’s instruction. He already told him to back off from the qb and he didn’t listen.


I also liked how they discussed it on the defensive meeting and on the field players talked to him immediately after. Shows what a great team/family dynamic they have.

Hall reminds me of a benign Browner. Has all the physical tools but there is a slight immaturity to him but in a completely coachable way. Browner had a bad chip in his brain I don’t see in Hall thankfully.

Like his teammates said, he didn’t have an older brother growing up and now he has several. He’s finding his way. Can’t wait to watch his continued ascension as a Hawk!
