WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: August 3

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>The theme of the day at Eagles training camp on

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday at the Novacare Complex physical football. Hello everyone and

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>welcomed inside training camp presented by Xfinity Dave Spiderow and

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Chris McPherson, and the Eagles got after it on Wednesday morning.

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>An absolutely beautiful day that featured live tackling. They actually

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>brought ball carriers to the ground for the first time

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>in an Eagles training camp since two and twelve and

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>it was great to see. The fans loved it at

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the Novacare Complex and I think the players, particularly the defense,

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>really energized, extremely enthusiastic love trash talking on the field.

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>The best part there were two live drills during a

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>practice today. You had the one best one was at

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>the goal line of short yard situation and the defensive

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>line just completely engulfed. The offense dominated the drill and

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>had barking from both sides of the football. But it

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>just raised the level of intensity. Hear a training camp

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>with the preseason opener just a little over a week

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>away day, Yeah, so fun stuff. Here is the Eagles

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>ratchet up the intensity here in preparation for the Tampa

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Bay Buccaneers on August eleventh, one of the themes we

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>want to explore in this Inside Training Camp presented by

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Xfinity the running back situation, which still is without Ryan Matthews,

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>still without him. He hasn't practiced without ankle injury. Also

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>rookie Wendell Smallwood out with a quad injury that will

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>keep him sidelined at least for a couple of days here.

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>So in the meantime, the Eagles looking at players like

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Kenyon Barner and he impressed on this Wednesday, and head

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>coach Doug Peterson in his post practice press conference talked

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>about the running back situation and compared it to last

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>year in Kansas City when the Chiefs lost their Pro Bowl.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Running back Jamal Charles lost the following week and then

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>reeled off eleven straight victories before losing in Round two

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of the AFC Playoffs. Here's Doug Peterson post practice. You know, yeah,

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I've I've I've pulled from, you know a little bit

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>from from how we handled that situation, even in training

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>camp when when we didn't let Jamal take a lot

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of live snaps. Um, you know, we we got our

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>twos and threes and and and our fourth guy. Really

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time and This is valuable time, you know,

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.679
<v Speaker 1>with with Ryan hopefully coming back and in the next

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.839
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. You know, uh, this is a great

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>time for them and Wendell not practicing right now. It's

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>great for those guys to get so many reps and

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>so many touches. It's just going to help the overall

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>balance of the football team. And and put put some

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 1>good film on uh, you know, on tape for for uh,

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of people to see. I thought it

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>handled it well. Um, you know, it's conditioning is good,

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it's improving. Um you know, he uh got a little

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.679
<v Speaker 1>tired towards the end of the practice, but again that's

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that's just the nature of the nature of the camp practice.

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>But overall I thought he uh, I thought he did

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a good job. This will be a good film, good

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>film for him to watch, who practice tape for him

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to watch, uh, to be able to make the necessary corrections.

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>But but headed in the right direction. He's an explosive

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>guy with the ball in his hands, and and uh

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, pretty good out of the backfield, you know,

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>as a receiver, that's one area that he can get

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>he can improve their route running ability. But but I

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>love the fact that anytime you know, you put the

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>ball in his hand, he has the ability to h

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>to make some big place for you. And and he's

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>he's shown that here in the in the first week

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>he can't. So let's talk about this running back situation, Chris.

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>We are used to watching the Philadelphia Eagles with a

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>lineage of star power in the backfield, a running back

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that carries the load LaShaun McCoy, Brian Westbrook, although some

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of those carries were distributed Duce Staley, et cetera, Rick

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Waters all the way many many moons here, this is

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>not the picture that we're seeing with the Eagles in

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty and sixteen. Matthews, when he gets healthy, will be

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the primary ball carry. But how do you kind of

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>see it playing out. I think you're preparing the other

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>backs to be able to take on increased responsibility if

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>they need be. Look, Ryan Matthews is a veteran, He's

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>been a Pro Bowl back in the league. He knows

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>how to handle himself. The key with him is Kaye

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>stay healthy. Very disappointed that Wendell Smallwood is not on

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the field because this is the time during training camp

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>where you want to see him. In those past protection drills.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>You want to see how he handles contact because he

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>looks so good in the T shirts and shorts portion

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>of camp and the ot as for player like Kenyan Barner, look,

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>he impressed last preseason with some big returns on special

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 1>teams and some big plays on offense, forced his way

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>on to the fifty three man roster and got some

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>reps towards the end of the regular season. Now when

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>you look at what he did this offseason, he bulked up,

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>got much stronger, got that taste of NFL experience. He

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>wants to keep it going. This is a great opportunity

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to show the coach is that he could be trusted

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>if he needs to be put into a bigger role

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>later in the year and out behind him, there are

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>some younger back the likes of Cedric O'Neill, who's a

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>bigger back, and Byron Marshall, who is a multi purpose back.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>He can catch the ball well in the backfield. You

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>almost don't know if he's really a receiver or a

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>running back of Oregon some young players there, but Kenyan

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 1>barr is a guy Dave who I'm looking at here

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to really take advantage of this opportunity. And of course

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Darren Sprowls in the mix as well, but maybe not

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>as much of a primary ball carrier. Looks to be

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a running back by committee approach that Peterson will use

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>this year, but that remains to be seen. Of course,

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Matthews has to stay healthy first of all, I

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>get back on the field and then stay healthy in

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the twenty and sixteen season. We know that he's got

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>explosive ability and that's something that this offense really really

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>looks forward to. So we'll see how the running back

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>situation shakes out as we move through the preseason. On

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 1>the other side, here on Inside Training Camp presented by Xfinity,

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>we are going to talk about the wide receivers, one

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>in particular, Jordan Matthew. Here's a guest after practice. We'll

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>talk to him when we return to Inside Training Camp

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>presented by Experty. Have you ever pictured yourself with Eagles

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>season tickets, Well now you can turn that fantasy into reality.

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Comcast Sportsman and the Eagles are giving away a pair

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>of tickets for the entire twenty sixteen season every week

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>this summer brings you closer to the dream with a

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>new chance to win these seats. It's easy to enter.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Just answer this week's poll question and enter at Philadelphia

0:06:36.680 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Eagles dot Com, slash CS and Philly Dave Spiedero. Chris

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 1>McPherson with you here at the Novicare Complex, and we

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>have talked about the wide receiver position. Everybody wonders who

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>will be the go to receiver in this offense? How

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>about Jordan Matthews, who last year was terrific after a

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>really solid rookie season. Our Alex Smith sat down with

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Matthews to discuss the offense and his role in it

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>this season. Lard Eagles fans, I'm Alex Smith here at

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the Novacare Complex and I am very pleased to be

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>joined today by wide receiver Jordan Matthews. Jordan, it's hard

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to believe already year three for you here in the NFL.

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>What's the mindset for you here coming into this season?

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, definitely come out here. I'd be a leader

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>every single day for this not just the wide receiver

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>group but also this team. But definitely by the way,

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, come in here right this every day. The

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>standard that I set for myself and hopefully you know,

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>if I'm consistent with that also raised the standard of

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>some of the guys around me. Going back to the offseason,

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you spend some time with Sam Bradford and Zach Ertz

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>down in Oklahoma. What'd you learn about those two guys

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>during that time. Um, you know, the main thing I

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>learned about both of them is uh, you know, Uh,

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Sam is very very private. You know, Sam no no

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>social media. Uh. He lives at the far back of

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a neighborhood. I mean I got to the gate of

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>his neighborhood in the uber and I was at the

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>gate and his house was still ten minutes away on

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the GPS. I'm like, are we in the neighborhood? Yeah?

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, that's crazy and so Uh,

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>he's very private. But it's for a reason. You know.

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>He likes, you know, to be out in open space.

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 1>He likes to be close to his family. He's got

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to close knit camp when it comes to his parents,

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, his his wife, and just some of his

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>close friends from Oklahoma. And that's how he likes it.

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's something that a lot of people

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>can learn from, is being content with being with with

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>your loved ones and being around those people. And you know,

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>was that he's meticulous man, with the way he works,

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>his hours, the hours that he sleeps, what he eats.

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's down to a t. And you see

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>why he's been able to have such good success, you

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>know in the NFL while he's been able to play

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>through full seasons and um, you know, just just exactly

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>just what the type of person he is, you know,

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a Stanford guy. And it's like, okay, yeah, I know

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>he's smart. But at the same time he's also a

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>hard worker too, so he makes the brains with also

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that type of work ethic. You know, you're always going

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>to have a good a good person come out of there.

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 1>And that's what that kiss. And do you get the

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Stanford Vanderbilt rivalry going all the time all the time,

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>We always, you know, joke about it. Obviously Stanford is

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>what document the type of success that they've had. By

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 1>always tell him, bro, it's like, dude, it's the pack twelve.

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>They play seven on seven football. He's gonna he's gonna

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>get mad if for years this. By tell him, Man,

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Vanderbilt's got the hardest I think Vanderbilt has the hardest

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 1>challenge and all the football in any level because you

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>have the academic standards of an IVY League school, But

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you play in the best conference outside the AFC, in

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 1>the NFC, so nobody else has to do that, nobody.

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>So we compete against the best and the rightest Monday

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>through Saturday, then and money through Friday, and then you

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>gotta go play the best in the league, you know,

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>in the SEC on Saturday. No other school has to

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>do that. So Vanderbilt takes the cake with the hardest challenge.

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 1>So whatever. Going back to Sam Bradford for a second,

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:11.559
<v Speaker 1>you were one of the players at the end of

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>last season who really spoke up about wanting him to

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>come back and be here in Philadelphia. So now that

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>he is back here, what's the chemistry like between you

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>two here in camp? It's great. I mean every every

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>single uh, you know, time we're out here, where's a

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>good player or a bad play, I'm always going back

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and ask the Sam what he saw, you know, what

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>he likes, what I needs to do better, and really

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 1>just how I can kind of, you know, improve my

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>game to fit his standard of what he needs to see.

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>The quarterbacks have so much to have to deal with,

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, so I want to make that job as

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 1>easy as possible. On him, and he's been great with that.

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you don't like something, he'd be like, Jordan,

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>come on, like like almost a disappointed father or something.

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>He's like, come here, and then he'll tell me what

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I gotta do. I'm like, all right, I got you.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Then we go back and we corrected. We'll even come

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 1>back after practice and hit some reps too, just to

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of work on it. So we're still building that chemistry.

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, we're on the same page

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>as like knowing who each other, like knowing each other

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and building that close relationship. And I tell people that

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 1>that's important all the time, because it's different when the

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.599
<v Speaker 1>guy who's upset with you because you messed up on

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a route is just your quarterback. It's different when that

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>person's your friend and you know he's counting on you.

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 1>So when he says that I need to get you

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 1>to get to twelve yards in this play, you're getting

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the twelve yards because that's not just some guy that's

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>just doing his job young at you. That's your boy.

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>And so that's why those relationships are so important. So

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to make sure I help him out,

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, as best as possible, so he can come

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>out here and have a great season two. I know

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>he deserves and that's what I'm going to work for.

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about this wide receiver's group for a second

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 1>with yourself rubing, Josh, Chris, what do you like about

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>this group the way that it looks right now? Man?

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I like I like how he worked, Man, I like

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>how focused everybody is. Everybody kind of has something to prove.

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you look at the stories of everybody

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>come into this year, you can always find some area

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 1>where somebody says, Okay, you know this person needs to

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>go out and prove themselves. You look at Chris, he's

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>gone to a couple of teams, miss his chance. He's

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>look at Rube leaving New York. You know he's got

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.719
<v Speaker 1>a chip. You know, Josh, he's got something to prove.

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Nelson coming off of a rookie year, first round pick,

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>he's got something. And I always feel like I have

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a chip on my shoulder. So it's one of those

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.040
<v Speaker 1>things where you have all that in the room. But

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>then the best part about it is you know everybody's

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>even killed about it. You don't want to have a

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of egos bouncing across the room and everybody

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>being upset. You want guys to be able to come in,

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>be focused, and be the best person that they can be,

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and then also not let those things that guys sometimes

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like they have to prove disrupt friendships and chemistry. Yesterday,

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>we actually went out to go eat as a wire

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>receiver unit. And I don't think you know how rare

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that is that on your one off day during camp,

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>guys still want to hang out with each other. That's

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>extremely rare. Like that stuff does not happen in the NFL.

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 1>Trust me. When we get to the season, okay, maybe,

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 1>but during camp, you're one off day, guys. The last

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>people guys want to see are people that they see

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>every single day in this locker room. And all the

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 1>receivers decided that we wanted to go eat together, you

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. And the rookies aren't paying all

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>of us sponsor the rookie to take care of their meal,

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.959
<v Speaker 1>so that servant hoood. That's the type of room you want.

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>That's the type of guys that are going to go

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 1>out there and when somebody has a play and guys

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.319
<v Speaker 1>have the block for them they're doing it willingly, and

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>they want that guy to do well. When somebody scores,

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody's genuinely happy for him. And that's how you build camaraderie,

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's how you build team that's actually going to

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>go out there and win games. And my final question

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>for you, what do you want to prove this year?

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I know you've put up really impressive numbers in each

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>of your first two seasons, but what's there to prove

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>for you this season? Oh? I don't. I don't go

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>out to prove nothing. I do the work. You know,

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>if a person that if you go out there and

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you do the right thing, you know what I'm saying,

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>the right outcomes always going to come about it, you know,

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>to all the all the other stuff. If I if

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I put a goal, even sometimes you put a certain

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>goal somewhere, then you can still end up limiting yourself.

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's infinite. I feel like, you know, I have

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the ability to go out there and have a great season,

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>but if I sit and focus on, you know, the

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>overall outcome, then I can still shorten myself. So I

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>feel like, no, the main thing I want to do

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>is come out here in every single rep, every single second,

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>every single day that I can come out here and

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 1>do something I want debt to the best of my abilities.

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>That's it. And when we look up at the end

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>of the season, you know, our whole team and especially

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.200
<v Speaker 1>me individually, I know I'm going to look back and say, Okay,

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>there's something I can be proud of. But I just

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 1>gotta go hard every single time. I get your ans

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to Jordan Matthews, thank you very much for joining us

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and could luck with the rest of camp, no doubt,

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and thank you all for joining us right here on

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles dot com. So where do we see Jordan

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Matthews this year? More in the slot, some outside. I say,

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>primarily in the slot where he can use that big

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 1>body and box out and catch a lot of passes.

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>And I believe he will be the go to wide

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>receiver in the offense in the passing game with Zach

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Ertz the tight end catching a lot of passes. Yes,

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>indeed you see him getting a thousand yards I do.

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was really close last year. He's been

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>more explosive this year. He's good in this offense. It's

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>more for quick routes, but I think Jordan works so hard,

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and some of these inside defensive backs are small. I

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>think Jordan Matthews for a pretty good season. Agreed very

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>much so, so I'll durn this quick break here on

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.680
