Philadelphia radio applauds an underappreciated aspect of Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle
Philadelphia radio applauds an underappreciated aspect of Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle Philadelphia sports radio hosts on 94 WIP seized the chance to commend Saquon Barkley for a facet of his reverse hurdle that frequently goes unrecognized. Believe it or not, June 3rd is seven months to the day that the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars and Saquon Barkley proved once and for all that he was a human cheat code. Had we not seen it, most of us wouldn't have believed it. How on Planet Earth does a man leap over another grown man backwards? Barkley, except for a few quarters here and there, seemingly broke long game-altering runs at will. We've seen another scouting combine, Pro Days, Top 30 Visits, and ten prospects added to the nest by way of the NFL Draft. OTAs are now underway. Guess what one of the most popular topics of discussion is. If you answered by stating 'Saquon's reverse hurdle', give yourself a gold star. Just when you thought it was impossible to manufacture more words to encapsulate its brilliance, we're given a few. 94 WIP-FM's Morning Show praises one of the lesser-mentioned components of Saquon Barkley's hurdle. Philadelphia sports fans, at times, enjoy a love-hate affair with 94 WIP-FM and its hosts. Some prefer certain shows over others. Some listen all day. Others don't listen at all, but everyone will have an opinion if time is dedicated to asking them. Former Eagle John Ritchie and long-time radio host Joe DeCamara took over the station's Morning Show in February 2023 after Angelo Cataldi retired. They've made everyone laugh. They've made everyone angry (more so Joe than John), but recently, a recent take was good enough to make listeners stand up and cheer. As mentioned, Saquon's November reverse hurdle is front and center again. This comes after Barkley was named EA Sports' cover athlete for the Madden 26 game. Two covers will be offered for two different editions. One depicts Saquon's now-signature play. Ritchie and DeCamara recently offered some praise and applauded Barkley for something that typically gets overlooked. He took a shot at the end of the play, one that forced him out of action for a spell. It's so easy to marvel at the athleticism displayed and overlook the physically demanding portion, or Saquon's toughness. Credit the WIP Morning Show for noticing. Oh, and by the way, those who are worried about the 'Madden Curse' shouldn't be. Barkley has no worries. That's good enough for us.

James Bradberry tore his Achilles, Soleus but expects to be ready for OTAs
Eagles defensive back James Bradberry missed all of the 2024 season with a 'lower-leg injury' in training camp. Despite spending the season on injured reserve, Bradberry will receive a Super Bowl ring. 'I'm going to get a ring, and I can always say I'm a Super Bowl champion, so I'm a part of it,' Bradberry said Thursday, via video from Eliot Shorrr-Parks of 94WIP. Bradberry revealed to Brooks Kubena of that he tore his Achilles and his Soleus, but Bradberry expects to be ready to return during organized team activities. Bradberry said he wants to play cornerback after trying safety with the Eagles drafting Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean with their first two picks. That might not be with the Eagles. He is under contract for 2025 but has no guaranteed money remaining and a cap hit of $7.819 million. Bradberry, a second-round pick in 2016, spent four seasons with the Panthers and two seasons with the Giants before signing with the Eagles in 2022. He earned All-Pro honors at corner in 2022, and the Eagles signed him to a three-year, $38 million deal in March 2023. His dropoff in 2023 was a reason the Eagles spent their first two picks on corners in 2024.

WATCH: Myles Garrett wants no part of Philly radio host calling him a future Eagle
The Super Bowl is front and center, and Myles Garrett has stolen some of the luster from the big game with the news that the Browns All-World pass rusher has requested a trade out of Cleveland. Myles Garrett has requested a trade. His statement: — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 3, 2025 Browns general manager Andrew Berry said last week, 'You can put that on the record,' that he wasn't interested in trading Garrett, even for two first-round picks. Berry indicated the franchise wanted to sign Garrett to an extension. Cleveland has been made aware of Myles Garrett's trade request. The team's stance has not changed. Teams, of course, will call on a superstar in his prime. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 3, 2025 Garrett's five-year, $125 million contract extension with the Browns has two years remaining. However, the deal does not include guaranteed money and has five void years. Garrett, 29, is the reigning AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year and is coming off his seventh straight double-digit sack season, including four straight with 14 or more. He has earned five straight Pro Bowl bids, has four career first-team All-Pro honors, and is regarded as the top defensive player in football. On Wednesday, while walking radio row at the Super Bowl, Garrett looked prepared to say hello to Ike Reese, Jack Fritz, and Spike Eskins at the 94 WIP table. However, the All-Pro pass rusher was met with a 'future Eagle' shout-out, so Garrett quickly turned and walked the other way. Here is us greeting future Eagle Myles Garrett. — 94WIP Afternoons (@AfternoonsWIP) February 5, 2025 Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman always does his due diligence on players. Garrett would take some of the sting off the Bryce Huff signing, which did not produce elite production in his first season with the Eagles. With Josh Sweat headed for free agency and Brandon Graham likely to retire, a Garrett and Nolan Smith tandem on the edge would give opposing offenses nightmares in 2025 and 2026.
