WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: A New Season 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.160 And we welcome you to then Overcare Complex. It's inside 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.360 training Camp presented by Xfinity Dave Spidero joined by Chris McPherson, 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.839 and we've got Eagles football back for the twenty and 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.960 fifteen season. Training camp officially underway. The Eagles obviously making 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.280 some news already, Chris, it's never boring around an overcare conflict. No, 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.000 this is already arguably the most eagerly anticipated training camp 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.600 in recent history, with all the moves made this offseason. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.120 And then on the EVA training camp, the Eagles send 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.600 cornerback Brandon Boykin, the nickel corner for the past three seasons, 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.560 to the burg Steelers for a conditional draft pick in 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.440 two sixteen. The big question now is what does that mean. 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.920 Obviously long term a great value add for the Eagles, 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.920 well in the short term, who will take over Boykin's role? 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.080 To one of the many storylines that we're talking about, 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.600 Chip Kelly getting his crew together. Eighty nine players in all, 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.280 they all passed the conditioning test and we're on the 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.800 field on Sunday. So let's send you out to the field. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.839 It's our three sixty update with Alex Smith. Pack your bags, 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.479 we're going camping Hi everyone. Alex Smith here with your 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.640 three sixty update, presented by Sports Authority. It's a beautiful 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.080 day here in South Philadelphia. As the Eagles reported for 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.520 their first training session of twenty fifteen training camp. It 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.880 was head coached Chip Kelly kicking things off today with 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.000 his pre practice press conference. Chip Kelly was asked early 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.400 and often about last night's trade of Brandon Boykin to 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.080 the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional fifth round pick, and 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.880 Kelly responded to those questions by praising the depth that 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.760 the Eagles have at cornerback. I wanted talking to him 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.000 last night. I think he was stunned, he was disappointed. 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.680 I think he really liked it here, very close with 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.320 his teammates, and I told him I thought the timing 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:13.160 itself wasn't a real good time. But they actively pursued him. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.400 They tried to They wanted to trade for him at 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.760 the draft, and we turned it down, and they had 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.919 called last week and turned it down again. And then 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.760 when we sat down with Corey and Billy and Ed 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.080 has a group and you know, looked at the offer 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.359 that they made for us, and kind of, really it's 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.960 more speaks to what our depth was at the position. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.520 We felt like it was a move to make. So 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.760 the other big topic heading into this twenty fifteen training 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.880 camp for the Eagles is the health of quarterback Sam 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.280 Bradford and Kelly spoke today about Bradford having no limitations 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.119 on that left knee, saying that his quarterback feels comfortable 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.760 heading into camp. He's full go, one hundred percent. You know, 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.600 when you talk to him, he had a great offseason. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.359 I think from when we left on June eighteenth to now, 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.639 he feels really confident. You know, he's not going to 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.000 play with a brace, not going to at least in 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.400 our training session out here. It feels comfortable without it. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.640 He's ready to go. So once practice came to a close, 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.200 Bradford himself spoke about trusting his left knee, playing without 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.359 a brace, and praising the work that he put in 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.560 with the Eagles training staff during the last six weeks. Yeah, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:18.079 it was kind of a collective idea, but yeah, I 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.200 just felt like I got to the point where I 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:21.600 didn't need it. I was doing a lot of things 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.000 without the brace and I felt fine. And I felt 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:28.000 like sometimes during OTAs, de brace restricted me a little bit. 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.160 And so you know, the doctors. I talked to him 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.200 yesterday and they were cool with it, so we're gonna 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.640 go with that one. It was interesting to note today 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.480 that it was rookie cornerback Jacorey Shepherd who got the 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:41.000 first team reps at nickelback, previously held by Brandon Boykin. 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.320 And after practice it was veteran Malcolm Jenkins praising the 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.200 work that he saw in the field from Shepherd. Shepherd today. 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.720 Last night you figured out he would be with the 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.880 ones as a nickel today and he stepped in today. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.040 It didn't miss a beat, and I think they're hungry 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.200 to get their opportunity as well and show what they got. 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.680 So it's gonna be a lot of competition. We got EJ. Biggers, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.640 Watkins playing the nickel and myself and Walter Thurman can 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.840 drop down into nickel at any time. So we got 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.320 a lot of depth and a lot of talent, and 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.760 you know, we're looking forward to what we're gonna do 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.200 as the secondary. Sticking on the defensive side of the ball, 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.800 it was veteran linebacker tomko Ryan's talking about his opportunity 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.039 to get back on the field and playing alongside the 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.359 newly acquired Keiko Alonzo all it was good. You know, 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.040 it's saying if I'm in there with Kiko, Michael, whoever, 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.359 we do a good job. I think of just helping 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.240 each other, communicating, helping each other, no matter who's in there. 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.000 And finally a couple of depth chart notes from this 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.960 afternoon's practice. It was Alan Barbie and Matt Tobin who 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.960 got first team reps at the guard position. Meanwhile, outside 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.280 at wide receiver it was Riley Cooper and Josh Huff 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.960 with Jordan Matthews playing in the middle. Switching over to 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.440 the defensive side of the ball. Walter Thurman lined up 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.039 and took first team reps opposite of Malcolm Jenkins, and 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.120 has previously mentioned it was Jacory Shephard getting first team 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.080 reps at the nickel.

That's 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.680 just the way it works. So what are you waiting for? 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.000 The first game of the twenty fifteen regular season is 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.920 against the Atlanta Falcons. So it's only fitting that we 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.560 kick off our behind Enemy Line series by looking at 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.800 that opponent. And to do so, we're bringing the man 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.640 who covers the Falcons better than anyone. And as d 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.760 Orlando led better from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, d let 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.160 let's start off with this. Was it a blessing in 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.280 disguise that the Falcons did not win the NFC South 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.360 last season, which went to the Carolina Panthers, which is 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.440 a seven eight and one record. Oh yeah, no question 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.960 about it. They were clearly a team that needed to 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:40.240 draft higher. The positions would have changed, It changed drastically 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.720 if they had had pulled out that division crown. And 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.800 they clearly need some help to build some more depth 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.920 and they could go ahead and get started with their 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.000 rebuilding projects. So that I mean, you never like to 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.920 say you want to lose a game, but it may 0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.600 have benefitted the franchise in the long term. Led dan 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.120 Quinn takes over as a head coach for the winningest 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.080 coach in Falcon's history and Mike Smith. Now dan Quinn 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.280 had a lot of success as a defensive coordinator in Seattle, 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.720 but he certainly doesn't have those same pieces now in Atlanta. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.880 What has he done to try to transform that Falcons 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:20.000 defense in the image of what he had in Seattle. Well, 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.880 they went out and made a lot of below the 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:27.360 radar moves and picking up linebackers Footbrey, Justin Durant and 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:33.439 O'Brien Schofield. They've bosso picked up guys like Adrian Clayborne 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.520 who were on the you know grab people over there 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.800 have been heard a couple of years and haven't been 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.719 able to stay in a high level of play. Uh, 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.360 So you know you got guys like that, they come in, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.920 You drafted Vic Beasley, and then uh you moved some 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.920 guys around. They certainly moved a lot of people around 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.360 in the secondary trying to find the right combination for 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:59.080 this efensive scheme. So, uh, he's trying uh about every 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.160 you know move in the book from guys off the 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.800 street to guys who were reserved elsewhere to high draft 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.920 pick to try to breathe some life into the league's 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.760 worst defense. See led You mentioned that it was the 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.280 least worst defense was also the worst defense in terms 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.480 of the past. Obviously, Seattle is known or is known 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.040 for the Legion of Boom. Can Dan Quinn have the 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.920 same success with this a Land defense if he doesn't 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.280 have that strong play on the backside of the defense? Yeah, 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.800 I think they've got They've got a major project going 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.679 on over there on that side of the ball with 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.800 the Cardo Allen, a fifth round pick out of Produce 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.880 who was a ball hawking corner and the big kin 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.719 and tackled a lot. They're converting him to free stafety. Now, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.920 um uh, you know, if that works out, then you 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.599 gotta you gotta get back there to go love with 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.400 William Moore. You have Desmond truefin at corner and then 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.559 you gotta try to find out what you have and 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.679 Jalen Kyllis and Robert Alford at the other corner and 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.800 made the others the Nickels. So there is some palent 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:08.760 back there, but they look short short of safety and 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.320 they're trying to make one, you know, a YadA. They 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.600 had a lot of success with late draft round picks 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.280 like Cam Chancellor, he was a fifth Maxwell I believe 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.959 it was a fourth. Uh, you know co string of 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.600 guys that they you know, were even Brandon Browner who 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.480 they went to Canada to get. So they know what 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.160 they're looking for and they're searching for guys to come 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.800 in and pit that seal it. On the offensive side 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.360 of the football, dan Quinn have some beautiful pieces to 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.880 work with Matt Ryan at quarterback, Julio Jones or Roddy 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000 White at the wide receiver positions. You bring in a 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.480 new offensive coordinator and Kyle Shanahan certainly familiar with the 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.640 MC east. What is Shanahan doing to maximize the talent 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.680 of Ryan's and those wide receivers, but at the same 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.679 time trying to keep things status quot since they've had 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.120 so much success on offense. Yeah. Yeah, they were trying 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.840 to get this outside outside the zone running schemes moving. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.880 You know, the Falcons haven't ran the ball well over 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.120 the last couple of years. You know, the Stephen Jackson 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.480 experiment just didn't work out. So they're trying to get 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.439 the zone blocking scheams going. They have a couple of 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.560 kids back there, de Bontay Freeman, the second and guy 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.800 and the rookie Keevin Coleman from Indiana that they're trying 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.800 to plug in there and see if they can balance 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.319 out the offense from Matt Ryan and Julio Joe. Who 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.440 do you think will be the leading rusher for the Falcons? 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.000 Obviously it's you know, early on in training camp, so 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.600 the preseason and you know, some time to look forward 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.040 to before the start of the regular season here at 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:41.280 d LA. But who do you think will be the 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.040 feature runner in this offense? I think over the season 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.560 it'll be Coleman. I think Freeman will start out back there, 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.800 but they're gonna bring the rookie along and put him 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.360 on a fast track.

We welcome you back, Eagles 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.679 insider Dave Spidero, joined by Ross Tucker, the host of 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.600 Inside Training Camp Football one oh one, of course serious 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.640 satellite radio and let's not forget the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.120 You've been talking about this football team all offseason. I'd 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:01.040 like you to take us through your thoughts on the move, 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.679 starting March tenth, really before that, when Lashawn McCoy's trade 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.640 was announced to this point, how you felt about the 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.800 Philadelphia Eagles. I think it was as entertaining for me 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.960 as anybody you know. I work in the media now, 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.520 So for me, I love the Chip Kelly, you know, 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.839 keep making these big moves. Fascinating to think that that 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.760 offense they had a couple of years ago with Foles 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.560 and Shawn Jackson and Jeremy Macklin and l Shan mccryo 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.520 Macklin has hurt that year. But it's just hard to 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.080 believe that those guys are all gone because two years ago, 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.760 I think most Eagles fan felt pretty good about the 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.160 core group they had. Now they're all gone, But I 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.720 think if you look at each one individually, I think 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.960 they felt like Bradford a little bit an upgrade from 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.200 Nick Foles, clearly, as long as Bradford's stays healthy. We've 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.000 talked about that a million different times. At running back, 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.440 I think he likes the idea of DeMarco Murray and 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.960 Ryan Matthews for about the same money that they're paying 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.200 Shady McCoy. Plus you still have Darren Sproles in the mix. 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.880 Tight ends are the same. The concerns for me would 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.320 the interior offensive line at both guard spots. They've released 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.920 Evan Mathis and so they've got a bunch of young 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.520 guys I thought struggled a year ago, really competing and 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.640 battling for those two spots. But they got some experience 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.400 under their belts. I think a lot of times offensive 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.040 line coaches think, now they got some start, they'll improve 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.520 a lot going in next year. And wide receivers, well, 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.880 I'm not overly confined about the wide receivers. I think 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.120 with Jordan Matthews in year two, Riley Cooper, I think 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.960 Agla is a guy that everybody loved coming out when 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.800 they draft him in the first round. I think the 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.000 wide receivers will be okay. I think really the interior 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.080 offensive line. Maybe it's because I I don't know an 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.320 interior offensive lineman is the issue that concerns me the most. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.480 Cutting Evan Mathis without replacing that talent was a little 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.840 surprising everywhere else. Lose Macklin, bringing Aglar, lose Shady, you're 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.760 bringing to Marco Maray and Ryan Matthews, lose Foals, bringing Bradford, 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.720 lose mathis bring in. That's kind of the problem. And 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.240 then the defense, of course, also has been overhauled by 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.560 my calculations. Are lost forty four days between today and 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.920 September fourteenth, play Monday night football in Atlanta. So take 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.960 us inside the locker room. What has to happen from 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:09.080 a camaraderie standpoint, a chemistry standpoint, to make all these 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.920 pieces melt together. I actually think that Chip's already handling 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.800 a lot of that. I mean, that's why Evan Mathis 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.280 isn't here, That's why Lashaw McCoy is here, It's why 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.680 DeShawn Jackson isn't here. You know, Chip firmly believes, and 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.480 there's definitely some truth to this that if you get 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.400 everybody going in the same direction, everybody's oars are going 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.680 in the same direction, you've got the best opportunity to 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.240 have success in the NFL. Hey, the team that won 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.080 the Super Bowl last year at the New England Patriots, 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.760 they were not the most talented team in the NFL. 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.560 The Eagles still have talent. We talked earlier, they replaced 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.640 most of the talent that they lost, but now they've 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.320 got all guys that have totally bought in to what 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.920 they're doing. I've been on teams with guys that didn't 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.800 buy in. You can tell is filters around. It's an 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:53.840 issue a lot of times in the NFL. There's a 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.360 belief that you need to replace talent with talent and 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:00.160 that you can't just go with culture. My opinion, the 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.880 only issue that really is is the interior offensive line. Again, 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.040 everybody's like, oh, he's just culture over talent. Well, where 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.120 are we talking culture over town. We're really only talking 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.399 about Evan Mathis at this point because he replace the 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.160 other positions with talent. We watched practice today, No need 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.880 overreact to first day of practice. Everybody's kind of getting 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.680 the rust shaken loose, and I want to talk about 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:24.040 Sam Bradford and benchmarks that you might have for Bradford 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:28.159 moving forward. First preseason game is fifteen days away, the 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.080 Falcons six weeks away. So what do you want from 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.560 Bradford kind of week over week when you look at him, 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.080 I just want him to make it to the Atlanta game. 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.120 In all sincerity, you know, number of reps doesn't matter, 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.320 number of throws preseason playing time, not really, not really. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.479 I mean it's such a quarterback friendly offense, Dave. I mean, 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:51.280 we've seen everybody, you know, vic and and Falls and Sanchez. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.240 It seems like everybody, maybe with the exception of Matt 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.240 Barkley when he played a little bit last year, but 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.480 it seemed like everybody does well on this offense. We 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.119 know AM's a smart guy. We know Sam has a 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.280 good arm and he's accurate. I think that Chip will 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.960 make sure he gets enough reps. If anything, David, it 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.560 would be more to me about the practice reps. I 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.480 wouldn't expose him that much in the preseason games. Make 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.399 sure he's getting all the reps he needs mentally in 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.840 these preseason practices. Try to keep him healthy in the 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.240 preseason games. What do you see on the defense? Malcolm 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.640 Jenkins the only returning starter in the secondary Eagles investing 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.400 heavily there the trade that brings Keiko Alonso to Philadelphia. 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.400 Clearly the Eagles want to cut down that seventy two 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.840 passing plays of twenty plus yards from a year ago. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.480 There's no doubt about it. I think Byron Maxwell will 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.840 help with that quite a bit. I think there's any question. 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:43.800 You know, you and I are both here. When the 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.359 Seahawks played the Eagles last year, and I've talked to 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.879 Jordan Matthews about this. Byron Maxwell did very well against 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.480 George Matthews, and I think that's a big reason why 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.480 the Eagles said, we gotta get that guy. They need 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.200 him to be a shutdown corner, and I think he's 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.720 better than people think. I think sometimes people think, well 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.399 they got Richard Sherman. You know he always had help. No, no, no, 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.480 there were plenty of times when Bayern Maxwell was man 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.239 to man. He's versaile. He can play inside, he can 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.080 play outside. So he's going to be probably the biggest 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.920 lynchpin on the back end of that defense, along with 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.440 the rookie of course, and trying to make sure that 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.800 they're better in that area. As we get through training 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.080 camp deeper into the summer, I will pin you down 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:23.879 and find out if you think the Eagles are a 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:25.600 playoff team, but we're not going to do that on 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.879 day one. Well, let's put it this way. They're definitely 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.880 in the mix. And as I watch over the next 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.080 couple of weeks, I'll have a better form or answer. 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:33.960 Ross Tucker mean, thank you so much for joining us 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:41.320 in studio here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com.

Good to see Sam Bradford on the field today. 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.440 Look good from what we could see, and he's certainly 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:37.920 the talk of the town. He seraily is the armtown, 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.680 no question. The big thing with him is how would 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.680 the leg hold up? And it was very good to 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.080 see him be full go for the first aid training camp. 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.960 But this is a marathon.
