The Vet Alumni Podcast W/ Tek & Prem podcast

1:14:09

Tek & Prem are joined on the VetLine by Breland Moore of Fox 29 Philadelphia to recap the Eagles incoming Draft Picks and talk Phils. Another solid group of young players are set to join the roster, in what amounts to a run to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. The road is never easy while attempting that task, historically. The Birds' defense recieved a boost of young talent and the offense remains largely in tact as we head into training camp. Howie may make additional moves and we discuss those possibilities, namely, adding a veteran or star in the secondary. A trip to the White House has come and gone, and left the fanbase somewhat divided over who did and did not attend the reception. While there shouldn't be any lingering effects in the lockerroom, the extreme views each side maintains run very deep. The Phillies finish April with a winning record as the power is coming around and they cap off another series win, this time against Division-rival Washington. The dreaded Diamondbacks come in to the Bank this weekend for a trio of tough games. The memory of 2023 lingers. An early season test as we enter the month of May approaches for the Fightins. Segments include: VetLine, VetPhact, Prem's MLB Picks.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)…

Tek & Prem discuss the incoming 2025 Eagles, with two likely defensive starters added in the 1st two rounds of the NFL Draft, Campbell from 'Bama and Mukuba from Texas. Both players figure to be key contributors in the coming seasons, a true Super Bowl window for the Birds. Howie and the front office made timely trades to jump around the draft order, and added a solid DT from Nebraska, Ty Robinson. With the losses of Williams, Sweat, and Gardner-Johnson in free agency, these are all logical picks, and also picks made from value spots in the Draft. Vic Fangio's system is phenomenal with the right pieces in place, and this haul reinforced the roster nicely on the defensive side of the ball. The Phillies have stumbled after a nice start and are floating around .500, one game over. With the season still only in April, there is no need to panic.

High Expectations 1:01:12

The Phillies get the split with Giants, and look ahead to a weekend set with the Marlins. There are high expectations for this club, coming off of three straight postseason appearances including one pennant. Still in the infancy stages of the 2025 season, the usual up and down performance from this group has continued to rear it's ugly head, yet they are presently neck and neck with the Mets for the NL East lead. The Phils are looking for back-to-back Division Flags. But it won't be easy. The questions in the outfield remain relevant and frequent. The revolving door of players seems to be on track to repeat itself again this offseason, regardless of the result. A major question is how the team will deploy some of their hot young prospects into the majors later in the year. The Eagles are 6 days away from the NFL Draft with a lot of capital and options, for a team that is still loaded despite the loss of some solid defenders. Howie Roseman could go quite a few ways in the 1st Round, including moving up to get a true impact player. The defending Super Bowl Champions have an open window to repeat the feat.

Weekend At The Bank 44:51

The Phillies are 5-1 out the gates and host the World Series Champion Dodgers this weekend for three at The Bank. A great early litmus test for this group, they are 7-3 in their last 10 against LA, including wins in 6 of their last 7 contests. Early on, the lineup is quiet against starting pitchers while raking against relief pitchers. To beat the Dodgers, the Phils will have to change that narrative. There have been contributions from the bottom of the order with Sosa and Rojas, and the new addition, Max Kepler, has began his Phillies career in solid fashion. The marathon of the MLB Season is underway as the VetPhact and Prem's MLB Picks returns, with three Moneyline Locks for this Friday's games.

Phillies Season Preview w/ Scott Lauber 1:08:15

Tek & Prem welcome Phillies Reporter for The Inquirer, Scott Lauber, on the VetLine to talk Phils. The MLB season is less than one week away, as the Fightins prepare to travel to DC to take on the Nationals for a 3-game series to start the 2025 campaign. The Phils starting pitching is still among the league's best, adding Luzardo to that mix, and the lineup may be shook up a bit as the Phils try again with this core, to win a World Series Trophy for the first time since 2008. Eagles offseason talk continues as the Draft approaches in April. Howie Roseman has a ton of Draft capital and has added some good low risk-high reward 1-year contracts to young defenders with a lot to prove. There will be some good competition in camp for key spots, but the core remains at every level of the defense with an offense still boasting the same stars. The defending Super Bowl Champions are 6 weeks removed from the big game, but the excitement for their trajectory should be just as strong as it was on Feb 10.

A Patient Offseason 1:07:13

9 weeks ago1:07:13

1:07:13

Tek & Prem discuss the first wave of free agency and some of the Eagles arrivals and departures. With tons of draft capital, the message from Howie to the fanbase to 'be patient' makes sense, and the front office has earned our trust coming off their Super Bowl blowout. The secondary will look very different, but Vic Fangio has studs at every level of his defense on the roster who are here to stay. Howie's approach of signing players to value deals with a low risk-high reward modus operandi has worked in the past with guys like Baun and Becton, and Eagles fans should expect the same again with the new additions. As March wraps up and the focus shifts to the draft, the Eagles flexibility and plethora of picks will be the key factor in how this offseason is viewed. The Phillies are tearing the cover off the ball this Spring and will start regular season play in less than two weeks time in DC. The shuffled lineup could mean more early run production and this rotation should be one of MLB's best yet again. The clock is ticking for this group.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)…

Howie SZN Returns 1:04:51

Tek & Prem discuss the upcoming NFL Free Agency period and the expected performance of defending Super Bowl Champion General Manager Howie Roseman. With Zach Baun locked up to a deal and 10 of 11 offensive starters under contract, the outlook is exciting for a team poised to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. Defensively there is flexibility to bring an edge rusher and a cornerback in, after the release of Darius Slay and likely departure of Josh Sweat. Next week as the period gets underway, all Philly fans' eyes will be locked upon the breaking news banner, anticipating the next Howie move that improves this team even further. The Phillies are underway in Clearwater and baseball is around the corner. Can this group transcend their previous limitations and compete with the Dodgers for the NL Crown? The pitching is capable but the question remains if the bats will be loud or quiet in October. In what could be the last hurrah for this team in it's current form, a World Series Championship is the expectation.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)…

The Philadelphia Eagles win their second Lombardi Trophy by defeating Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, and now have Championship Game wins over Vince Lombardi himself, Bill Belichick, and Andy Reid. Jalen Hurts is the quintessential leader and with Saquon Barkley toting the rock, few defenses stand a chance at slowing them down. The Birds put a show on for the Eagles faithful in attendance down in New Orleans and around the world, as there was never a doubt who the better team was on February 9th--on a day where the Chiefs were convinced that they were about to make history. As we break down the meaning of this epic victory, we also look ahead to what is next for this group. There are key guys to re-sign and a Draft to prepare for as they gear up to go BACK-TO-BACK.

Tek & Prem welcome Jon Marks of PHLY Sports on the VetLine to talk Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles and Chiefs meet again, this time in beautiful New Orleans to play for a Lombardi Trophy. With KC on the cusp of history and a third consecutive Championship, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and Jalen Carter have other plans. The bitter taste of losing has left a scar on Hurts, and his team comes in with the league's top-ranked defense, after a record-setting 55 points in the NFC Championship Game. The Eagles enter the Super Bowl without committing a turnover en route for the first time in NFL History. Quarterbacks are 3-11 in Super Bowls when facing the league's best defense, and Patrick Mahomes has the challenge of doing so this time around. Saquon eyes rushing history, needing just 30 yards to break Terrell Davis' record of rushing yards in regular and postseason combined. On Feb 9th it will all be settled in an epic clash of the league's two best teams in 2024. Segments include: VetLineCourtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)…

Tek & Prem welcome Haley Taylor Simon on the VetLine to talk Super Bowl Eagles and Flyers. The Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb 9th, in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII . After a dominant season and 3 home playoff wins, Jalen Hurts leads his team down to the Bayou to play for the ultimate prize and bring home the city's second Vince Lombardi Trophy in their storied history. With the league's top-ranked defense and a run-game led by Saquon Barkley, the Eagles are dominant and in better position to get the job done than they were two years ago. KC comes in with a less explosive offense, but the aura of attempting to win their 3rd straight Super Bowl--a feat that is yet to be accomplished in the NFL. The Flyers are hanging around but are still an up and down team with major offseason questions on the horizon.

Eagles v. Commanders III 58:35

58:35

Tek & Prem welcome Eytan Shander of Fox 29 Philadelphia and OddsShopper on the #VetLine to talk NFC Championship Game. The Eagles will take the field to face off against Washington for the third time this season, with each team already winning on their home field. Jayden Daniels has arguably performed as well as any rookie QB in NFL History, leading a team that was presumably rebuilding to the precipice of a Super Bowl. Washington last reached the big game in 1992, defeating the Bills. On the Eagles side, the franchise is a model of Playoff consistency, hosting their NFC-leading 6th Championship Game this century and 8th overall. With a win, the Birds would be lined up to appear in their 3rd Super Bowl over the last 8 NFL seasons, seeking their 2nd win. Youth, hunger, and phenomenal general management is a large part of that equation. There are key injuries on both sides of this upcoming battle between two very storied and proud franchises, and Jalen Carter is facing a backup on the Washington O-Line. Conversely, the Eagles could be down their starting Center Cam Jurgens. Segments include: VetLine, Vet Alumni Playoff Picks.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)…

Tek & Prem welcome Matt Hamilton of Fanduel TV, On-Air/Senior Producer of Up & Adams Show, back onto the VetLine to talk Eagles v. Rams and the NFL Playoffs Divisional Round matchups. The Birds host another beatable opponent this Sunday at the Linc, one they thoroughly defeated in the regular season less than 2 months ago. The 3pm kickoff forecast calls for snow and wet/cold conditions with Matt Stafford boasting just a 1-8 record in such games in his impressive career. In a game where the trenches will determine the victor, the Eagles O-Line has a significant advantage and the their #1 rushing attack will likely be on full display, via 2K rusher Saquon Barkley. Defense will again be impactful as the Birds attempt to advance to their 2nd NFC Championship Game in the last 3 seasons and 3rd Super Bowl, in just the last 8 seasons.

As the Eagles prepare to host Green Bay in a Wild Card matchup at the Linc, we welcome Phil Stiefel of Trending In The AM back onto the #VetLine to talk gameplan, and the Eagles path to New Orleans. Rested, ready, and most importantly, healthy, the Eagles are the superior team on paper, but as the saying goes: "Any Given Sunday". This Sunday, a wounded Packers team comes to town to try and upset the Birds, who boast the league's top defensive unit and rushing champion, Saquon Barkley. Jalen Hurts will be back under center to lead the way, as he tries to bounce back quick from his 3-week layoff. Coming in as 5-point home favorites, the number two seed Eagles have high expectations among fans and inside their own building. In the two franchise's history, they have met 3 times in the postseason, all in Philadelphia, with the Eagles holding the 2-1 advantage, including the 1960 NFL Championship Game.

Tek & Prem welcome Bill Colarulo of 97.5 The Fanatic on the VetLine to talk Eagles and Sixers. With the great Saquon debate settled, the focus shifts to the Wild Card Round at the Linc, in which either Green Bay or Washington will be coming to town. Jalen Hurts should be out of the concussion protocol by then and the rested Birds will have a shot to make their run at another Super Bowl on the heels of a record-setting season, in multiple regards. After their bye a full 3 months ago, they will get a much-needed reprieve in the season finale, with the 3-13 NY Giants coming in for a glorified preseason game. We'll get to see Tanner McKee and the backups take on one of the league's worst teams to close out the regular season. The NFC is wide open and the Eagles may be the most complete team, from top to bottom. The Sixers trudge on, trying to climb to .500 but dropping two straight games on the west coast in pursuit of that goal, in embarassing fashion. It looks more and more likely that they are headed for another early postseason exit. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, Prem's NFL Picks.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)…
