Podcast: Carson Wentz trade rumors and Todd Bowles’ defense

The Solak Show has officially launched!

Bleeding Green Nation’s podcast feed, BGN Radio, has enjoyed the Kist and Solak Show for the last two seasons — but all good things must come to an end. With long-time BGNer Michael Kist on his way to work for the mothership and SB Nation, I’m now flying solo with my new show: The Solak Show! Original, right?

The Solak Show will be weekly in the offseason and always come in two parts. The first will be strictly Eagles-focused, and I’ll be reacting to and analyzing breaking news on the Eagles’ offseason foibles as they look to rebuild their roster. The second will invite a guest and cover a larger, league-oriented issue that may or may not affect the Eagles. For big-time fans who want to learn more about the game and watch football differently — this segment is for you!

Show notes for the inaugural Solak Show:

Topics covered:

• Is the Carson Wentz trade market dying out? Is that bad news for the Eagles?
• How can the Eagles buy more time when negotiating Wentz deals?
• Is there any chance that Wentz returns to Philadelphia in 2021?

Pewter Report’s Jon Ledyard joins the show!

• How did Buccaneers DC Todd Bowles change his defensive structure to take advantage of the Chiefs’ banged-up offensive line?
• Will that defensive model be used by other teams who face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the future?
• How is it similar to how new Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon calls his defense?
