The two Bens on the Post-Dispatch’s columnist roster (Hochman and Frederickson) have a regular “2 Bens in a Car” feature, and Barry Odom sat in for the first time in about a year.
The main takeaways:
1. Odom had a Boz haircut and got a No. 44 jersey in the mid-1980s. (Pics or it didn’t happen.)
2. Odom has a plan.
I won't trade that [first-year coaching experience] for anything. I feel a lot better today than I did last year sitting in this ride. ... I feel better about where our roster is today. We've got a lot of room for improvement in a lot of different areas, but I have a great plan on how we're gonna get there.
Fear not!

- Chase Daniel played yesterday! He subbed in briefly for Carson Wentz in the Eagles’ 24-19 win over the Giants, going 1-for-1 for 16 yards. That makes his career passing line 51-for-78 for 482 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. His dollars-per-pass ratio is one of a kind.
