WEBVTT - Eagles Update: The Reich Stuff

0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>All Eagles fans. I'm Chris McPherson and welcome to this

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 1>edition of the Eagles Update. Reinforced Monday's practice to be

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>moved indoors, but it was an important session as it

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>was the last full workout before Thursday's preseason opener against

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the Green Bay Packers. While the time on the field

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>may not be extensive, it will be our first opportunity

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to witness the new look offense after all of the

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>offseason editions of physic order Frank Reich explains what he's

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to seeing most. You know, we're looking for

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.959
<v Speaker 1>just good execution, you know, good football, smart discipline, tough football.

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Really just started out, that's what you want to do.

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll keep a simple form. Let him play fast and

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>play discipline, and play smart and play tough. What's the

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>biggest goal for you coming out of the first game?

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean, we always want to win the game,

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>even though it's preseason. But for us as coaches, there's

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of evaluation going on in a lot of

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.959
<v Speaker 1>competition at roster spots, so there's you know, let's win

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the game, but in the big picture, also trying to

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>put together a fifty three man roster. Thursday will mark

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the next step, not just for rookies who will be

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>playing against another NFL team for the first time, but

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>also for veterans like wide receiver Nelson Agilore. Now, the

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>struggles of the former first round pick have been well

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>documented over the last two years, but the watershed moment

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>may have come last season when he was a healthy

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>scratch against the Green Bay Packers. Aglare is at a

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>very strong training camp to this point, but he wants

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>to carry it over to game action, definitely, because at

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, I've been just all building

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>good habits and that's what's gonna carry me come Thursday,

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>is the habits. I've already built, the technique and I

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>understanding and then my speed for the game. You know,

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what I want to show Thursday and let the

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>plays come from that. Yeah. I really do think Nelson's

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>gotten over to hump and have been had a great

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>spring and a great training camp. You know, he's just

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>making a ton of plays out here. I mean, we're

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>always going to have a miss or two every position

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>does so, but very pleased with how he's playing, making

0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of plays. You know, when he's on the field.

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I think the defense knows when he's on the field.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's been he's been a threat defensive end.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Graham made his preseason debut on August thirteenth, twenty ten,

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The former first round pick from

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that year has come a long way since then, and

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>he offers some advice to the rookies who will be

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>making their debut on Thursday. Make sure you know what

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you're doing, and get some extra reps at the practice

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>because you're gonna be tired, because you know, we only

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>end there for a short amount of time and then

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>his day is day lead and um, you know, and

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>when you need a play at the end of the game,

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be about who and who in better shape.

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>And uh, I think, uh, you know, I'm gonna go

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>with my guys every time. Speaking of the rookies, will

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>hear from them on Tuesday's edition of The Eagles Update,

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.839
<v Speaker 1>as well as from head coach Doug Pearson, who will

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.119
<v Speaker 1>reveal the playing rotation for Thursday. Until then, I'm Chris

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>McPherson and thank you very much for joining us on

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.959
