WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: One Last Chance 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.479 Three down, one to go. Hi. Everybody, Welcome to Inside 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.680 Training Camp presented by Xfinity. Dave SPIDERO Chris McPherson with 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.240 all eyes on Thursday nights preseason finale, the Eagles hosting 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.239 the New York Deaths. Make sure you tune in on 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.080 six ABC in Philadelphia seven pm kickoff. Complete coverage in 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.159 Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Chris, We've got a lot to 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.120 look forward to in this game. It's been a it's 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.520 been a good preseason for the Eagles. Great preseason that 0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.520 for the starters that ended on the right note with 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.400 that tremendous pouncing of the Steelers wearing thirty one to 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.880 twenty one. But now in this fourth preseason game, most 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.080 of the stars, respective of the night off, but still 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.240 plenty of things to watch as roster jobs are still 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.800 out there to be won. Indeed, let's start with my 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:17.399 perspective of the Eagles on offense. On offense, obviously, it's 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.800 going to start with the quarterback Matt Barkley, expected to 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.080 play at least into the third quarter, his first start 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.840 since his days at USC, So for Barkley, an opportunity 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.200 to step up and show that he can be relied 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.360 upon as a starter if needed in twenty and fourteen. 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.319 Of course, also we are looking full bore at the 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:40.160 running back position. How many will the Eagles keep three? Four? 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.479 Is it possible to keep five? Does Chris Polk play 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.560 in this game? And if he does, see his first 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.320 preseason action, how long can that hamstring hold up? Henry 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.840 Josie averaging more than eight yards per carry looking for 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.080 a roster spot. And ken Yon Barner, who was so 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.400 impressive just two days after being acquired in a trade 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.880 from car lineup. He will get some playing time trying 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.240 to solidifire roster spot as well. And of course we 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.840 look at the offensive line lane. Johnson his final appearance 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:13.639 before his four game suspension starting Monday. Johnson not permitted 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.760 here at an overcare complex. He'll go back to Texas 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.040 and train and prepare for game number five. So those 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.080 are some of the things that I'm watching on the 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.880 offensive course, wide receiver tighten everything, nothing escapes the eyes 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.880 in preseason game number four. Certainly, I'm going to focus 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.000 on the defensive side of the football, and I'm gonna 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.640 start at the outside linebacker position. Marcus Smith the second 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.480 has made tremendous strives throughout the course of the preseason. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.720 How is he going to fair? He's been doing a 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.880 lot of work one on one work on the side 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.240 with Trade Thomas, the long time Eagles offensive tackle, to 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.160 get himself right and to rEFInd that technique. How does 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.000 that progress? Brandon Graham tremendous preseason in his own right 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.560 with two sacks tied for the team league. Can he 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.800 continue the way that he's performed Now I'm gonna transitionto 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.320 the defensive line. Look, the Eagles are I had to 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.760 make one tough roster move, letting go with a former 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.040 draft pick in Joe Krueger. There are gonna be some 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.520 tough moves on the horizon. Do you have players like 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.560 bo Allen Taylor Hard who had played well this preseason? 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.519 Can they secure spots here on the final fifty three 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.880 man roster? And then look, I'm gonna transition from defense 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.480 to special teams here? What's gonna happen at place? Kicker 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.120 as Alex Henry is in the fight of his life 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.400 going against rookie Freed and Cody Parkey, who was required 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.679 from the Indianapolis Colts last week. Parky had some work 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.120 on kickoffs and a point after attempt as well, Henry, 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.000 how much will he get to kick in the game. 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:37.960 Will he have a chance to get his confidence back 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.680 after missing that thirty one yard field goal. So certainly 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.560 I'm looking at a lot of things on the defensive 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.720 side of football, but also special teams comes to the 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.840 forefront with a placekicker battle still in the air. Day Yeah, well, 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.960 I mean really, it's an opportunity not only for some 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.120 of these bubble players to make the fifty three man rosters, 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.800 either here or another team in the NFL, but it's 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.520 also a chance for players like Nige Good, for example, 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.800 to u earlier this week in the locker room, he 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.160 wants to show the coaches that he can be counted 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.960 on as a starting caliber player. So anybody who says 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.640 that this fourth preseason game has no meaning, you really 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.520 don't know what you're talking about. And even for the 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.920 players who won't be playing, one of them with whom 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.359 I spoke cornerback at Brandon Boykin, he won't play in 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.120 this game. A lot expected from Boyken this year after 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.680 his breakout season in twenty thirteen six interceptions. He's very 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.200 much looking forward to seeing what this defense is like 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.280 in year two under coordinator Bill Davis and when we 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.479 returned Inside Training Camp presented by Vicfinity, I go one 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:40.680 on one with cornerback Brandon Boykin. When I was a 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.159 little kid, I thought riding Septo was just the coolest thing. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.360 I thought, I'm on this big piece of metal blazing 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:50.479 down these tracks.

The Eagles choose Novocare, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.920 So can you call one eight hundred and seven seven 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.240 O n o VA Novacare the power of physical therapy. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.159 When I was a little kid, I thought writing sept 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.520 it was just the coolest thing. I thought. I'm on 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.240 this big piece of metal blazing down these tracks. There's 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.080 people ringing bells above me, there's honking going on, there's 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:25.360 trees flying by. It's fantastic. We welcome you into this studio. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.880 Dave Spiderio joined by Eagles cornerback Brandon boy Can. Having 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:33.040 another fantastic preseason. I think do you think that absolutely 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.400 as well? You should. How do you how do you 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.839 metture it in the preseason? Um, I think you just 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.479 got to kind of be honest with yourself. You know 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.320 that these are the first couple of games and if 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.240 you're gonna make a mistake, this is when you want 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.479 to make a mistakes. So, um, you know, just kind 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.479 of dissect your game and like, uh, you know, talk 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.800 about yourself in a way that you know that you 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.200 can get better. You know, don't say like, oh I 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:58.760 would have made that tackle, and again like if you 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.200 missed the tackle, you know you need to make the tackle. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.000 And because when when Week one rolls around, it's for real. 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.599 So yeah, I'll say I have never heard more crying 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.720 in my life than people complaining about these The emphasis 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.520 on the rules, Now, it's interesting. The crying is not 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.760 coming from the players, nor is it coming from the coaches. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.480 It's coming from the media. How are the players reacting 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.280 to everything? We're just playing. We're just playing. You know, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.400 it's tough. It is tough. After literally at five and 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.400 a half yards, if you got your hands on the receiver, 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.600 you're gonna get a flag. So um, you know, we've 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.880 been taught our whole life to be physical and you know, 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.320 get your advantage by you know, putting yourself in the 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.720 best position possible. And you know, now we got to 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.520 change that. So um, you know, these past couple of weeks, 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.760 like preseason, like I talked about, we're just trying to 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.840 you know, get our technique in a place where we 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.800 can be better for week one. So it's more about 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.920 getting your footwork right, getting your hands in position, making 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.680 the most of those five yards. Absolutely, you know, we 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.080 got a five yard contact zone, like they said. Actually 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.120 ref came and talked to us and talked about that. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.000 So get all your work done five yards with your 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.720 hands and after that its feet and eyes. And I 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.520 think we've been doing a pretty good job in practice. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.600 So um, I think you will see some improvements as 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.920 far as not getting flash caught against US next week. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.440 Do you ultimately believe, Brandon, if that will make you 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.680 a better cornerback? I mean, my theory is that the 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.280 defense will always catch up to the offense, and then 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.680 in time you'll rely more on your technique and then 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.080 your athletic ability will take over, and then they will 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:25.920 change the rules again and take more away from you. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.320 I think so, you know, I think that you know, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.280 like you said, the game's changed so much and it 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.400 constantly changes, but I think we'll just adjust. Like you said, 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.040 it may take some time, but you know, people are 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.800 still gonna, you know, make plays on the ball and 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.199 you know, do what they need to do. But I 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.400 do feel like there are certain times when you're running 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.040 down the field and and you got like some contact 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.000 with the receiver and you're both fighting them looking for 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.400 the ball, where um, I disagree that it should be 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.240 called if we're both looking for the ball and competing 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:53.760 for the ball. You know, I think that's just a 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.560 football play, so they shouldn't really take that away from it. Well, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.360 you know why, it's score more points, get more viewers, 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:01.760 have more fun on the square where you guys are 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.319 always taking advantage of It's a shame anyway. But the 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.319 defense yere too. It seems to be a lot more cohesive. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.600 Communication seems to be there in a lot more confidence. Yeah, 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.360 confidence is huge for us. And I think you hit 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:14.640 it right on the head when you said that. I 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.440 think you know, last year we didn't have really anything 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.280 to to gauge ourselves off of, and this year we do. 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.760 And you know the second year in the scheme, we're 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.320 moving at a really fast rate. Right now, we feel 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.120 confident that we can play at a game speed with 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.559 chaos going around us. So, UM, I think last last week, 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.040 you know, a game through where you saw kind of 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.040 the ones staying there for a good amount of time, 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.640 and um, you know, really be calm under the under 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.439 pressure is what you're gonna get. What's what's next for 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.839 Brandon Boyken? What kind of individual goals do you want 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:48.000 to achieve this year? Individual goals? I think you know, Um, 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.679 my job is to calls turnovers. Um, you know, if 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.840 I'm playing Nicholas, especially it's third down, so um, you 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.600 know more than like it's gonna be a passing situation, 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.120 then we gotta get off the field. But not only 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.599 do we want to get to feel you want to 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.160 get the ball back. We want to get a turnover. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.319 So I feel like if I'm around the ball, I'm 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.880 trying to strip it, trying to punch it, um, you know, 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.200 forcing funeos, getting intercepted in any way possible. You're gonna 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.760 see me, you know, just trying to cause a turnover anyway. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.960 Have you always, dating back forever, always been around the football. Well, 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:21.439 I played quarterback until college, right, so I was used 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.280 to having the ball in mind every single play, and 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.800 I got mad and a high school like if I 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.559 didn't have the ball, we were like a wing t team. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.960 So like more more likely than not, I wasn't gonna 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.200 pitch it, like I'm trying to do everything. And so 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:35.920 that's just kind of how mentality is. You know, I 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.720 gotta get the ball. I want to make a play. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.160 I gotta be the guy to make the play. And 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.040 that's good and you enjoy in a moment of high 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.040 pressure late game. Obviously last year it happened a few times. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.840 You want them to throw your way, don't you. Absolutely, 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.280 you gotta have that mentality the game's on the line, 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.160 you know, when you kind of sit back and relax 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.680 and say the ball is probably not gonna come to me. 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.200 That's when it does. So everybody on our defense, I 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.440 feel like it's high alert at all times, knowing that 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.160 you know you're probably gonna be the guy to make 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.000 the play. And you know, for me not being out 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.800 there every single play, when I get on the field, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.880 I have to make an impact and you know that's 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.080 that's my kind of my goal and my mission. How 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.240 would you describe the locker room and how everything's come 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.320 together since the spring and then just kind of how 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:22.280 everyone's looking forward to to September seventh in Jacksonville. I think, Um, honestly, 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.720 I mean since I've been playing football and been in 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.920 the locker room, I think like the chemistry and the 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.079 camaraderie that we have here and the Eagles organization is 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.760 the best I've been around. Um, you got linemen that 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.760 will talk to defensive backs and have casual conversation, and 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.600 you know, we're all kind of just mix up in 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.320 the locker room. So so the trust factor is developed, 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.520 you know, before we even get on the field, and 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.680 you know that's huge for us, and you know, you 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.000 want to feel like you're a brother, your brother's next 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.880 to you know, we got a brotherhood and that's been 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.600 really one of the biggest things that I've seen. We've 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.079 developed even more than last year. I man, it seems 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.280 like a million years ago twenty twelve dozen. You live 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:01.880 through that kind of season, you really learn a lot 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.640 about the NFL, doren't you. I did. I had to 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.680 learn really quick. You know. That was my first year 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.160 and um, you know kind of was trying to figure 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.320 out what it was like to be a pro and uh, 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.720 you know, everybody was telling me that, you know, it 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.480 gets better. You know, the fans weren't really happy and 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.280 we weren't really seeing the real, you know, side of 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.280 the Philadelphia Eagle fan experience. So um, you know now 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.720 that we got everything rolling, um, it's awesome and um, 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.480 you know, it's it's it's it's great to be you know, 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.200 an Eagles player because the community is great. So we 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.960 want to just continue to get that this year. Well, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.240 many happy returns and we mean interception returns for touchdowns. 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.640 About twenty fourteen, Brandon boy can thank you so much 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:53.840 for joining us in studio here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.079 The moment we dare to imagine is the moment progress 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:01.960 begins in a flash.

Benny Logan, Yes, took 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.640 over as a start in midway through last season after 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.720 the trade that said Isaac's Hope Waga to the Patriots. 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.040 Logan came in the third round pick a year ago. 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.160 Solidified the run defense was tremendous down the stretch as 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.720 the Eagles won seven of their final eight games to 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.040 win the NSC East title. Now in trench as expected 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:20.920 to be the starter for the full time for the 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.600 first time in his young career, Logan sit down with 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.840 Our bow Wolf in this week's one on one interview 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.680 presented by Gatorade.

And Benny, let's get the first hard hitting 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.800 question out of the way. What's your favorite flavor of Gatorade? 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:44.560 My favorite flavor of Gatorade is the what's the white gun? 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.840 The White Arctic? Yeah, something like that. The Arctic count 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.040 is death of my favorite gun of Gatorade. All right, 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.280 I like that. So you know you're rocking the Phillies Jersey. 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:57.920 That means you've you've acclimated yourself to Philadelphia. Here. People 0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:59.800 talk about the difference it makes your second year to 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:01.840 your first year in your rookie season. Do you feel 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.160 really a huge difference? Uh? Yeah, definitely, Uh this secret 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.080 year going around and definite feel more comfortably relaxed. Uh. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.040 I did a lot of things to approve on. Unfortunately 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.440 I wasn't really able to you know, to show you know, 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.440 what I was able to do because of him. Screening 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.400 is just beginning to camp kind of helped me back 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.400 for a few, you know, three weeks. But you know, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.080 I'm back down on rid of the role and this 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.760 upcoming third preseason game and playing a little bit. But 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.440 I'm just gonna go out there and just really just 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.440 show the things I've been working on, things that improved though, 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.920 So you'll have a chance to get after Oh yeah, definitely, definitely. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.440 It would be definitely you know, fun and inciting to 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.840 sack mikel Vick just to say, you know, you was 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.600 able to sack him last yot I played with him, 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.400 and I wasn't able to hit him at PREXE of course, 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.120 as you know. But now I'm able to allow to 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.080 just go out there and just get after him. So 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.720 it's gonna be fun. Me and Brandon Gahan was actually 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.920 talking about that, Uh, just looking forward to get out 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.960 to Mike Vick less Alan just playing the game and 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:56.880 I join it. But you know, getting out to mikeael 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.560 Vick just say you was able to sack You know, 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.320 Michael Vick right when you say that you've taken a 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.320 step forward from from last year to this year. What's 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:07.320 what's specifically? What areas are you better at than last years? Oh? 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.439 Just maturity, maturity and the defense matures there has been 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.439 a pro take care of your bad take care of 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.960 just your responsibilities, uh own and off the field. Just 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:21.280 being you know, more adapted to certain situations and just 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.320 being more mature about different situation also, but just mainly 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:29.360 just learning this scheme, knowing the insides out the defense, 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.800 what I can what I can do to you know, 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.560 help my team be success. We have the defense be successful. 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.239 One of the one of the best stories of the 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.440 defense last year was you guys on the defensive line, 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.680 how young you are and the steps you guys took 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.720 last season. Seems like there's even more depth there now 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.640 than there was last year, with guys like Taylor Hart 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.760 and bow Allen and even even an older guy like 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.879 Brandon Bear. Oh yeah, no, I mean we're young like 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.399 error guys on the defensive line, you know, bring a 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.200 different kind of a game when they come Miss no 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:01.159 Bo Allens has grown powerful anchor ahl add and the technician. 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.200 He's hard worker, h Taylor Hard. Taylor Hard has really 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.840 powerful to uh you see it on film. I you know, 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.439 take care of your blockers and pretty much jacked them up. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.480 So each guy, you know, backup starter, you know, pri 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.360 provides a difference, no variety of things that could bring 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.600 to the game. And were also young. So I mean 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.800 we all you know ready just run and hit the 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.239 field running. So it's gonna be exciting to watch us 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.439 once we could lose the beginning of the season. So 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.520 what is Brenny Logan bring? What's this game? I mean 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.439 being a Logan me and aggression. I mean I like 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.240 to be physical, just all up in the middle, just 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.159 you know, just my style of play. You know. I 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.679 like to just try to describe person a course from 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.119 me and just do all the dirty word. Do you 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:45.320 have expectations for yourself for the Cities goals? But really 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.800 my expectation this should be better than I was last year, 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.280 to be better than I was the game before. Every 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.760 game will look to improve and get better off for something. Uh. 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.639 I'm definitely trying to get to the quarterback more this year. 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:58.720 Done the last year. And how about as a team, 0:18:58.760 --> 0:18:59.920 what are your what are your goals for this shit? 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.359 Those teams this as a eagal team, we gotta get more, 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.240 we gotta get better. We gotta get deeper in the playoffs, 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:05.960 not just make a run or the first year it 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.480 was okay, we made a run in the playoffs first year, 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.480 but we just want to get deeper in the playoffs, 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.560 making noise and the super bowls out with them and go. 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.800 But you just can't open talk about super Bowl. We 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.960 gotta put work into it and really just work card 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.359 con team work card come in every day, you know, 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.159 regards of how we feel, you know, to put it 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:22.760 in the works so we could get to a super Bowl. 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:24.920 I don't know what sense you had of a team 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:26.720 as a rookie, because I'm sure your head was swimming 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.600 a little bit. But when you look at the team 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:30.879 as a whole last year versus the team as a 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:32.520 whole this year, do you feel a difference in where 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.320 you guys? Because actually I was telling I have a 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.480 lot of other teammates, former teammates that went to the 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.639 LSU on other teams, and I was telling those guys, 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.719 you know, just being with the Eagles, you know, the 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.520 locker room and just the guys that you were with. 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.480 It made it seem so much like college. Just a 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.040 bun we have, I mean, we're always doing things, you 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.520 know together, and we was away from them facility. The 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.320 guys were checking on one another, checking I mean text 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.119 them and calling and see how they were doing and 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.639 things like that. So just a bun and just the 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.280 cameras who you have, you know, reminded me of college 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.800 and just uh, you know, you hear stories about when 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.040 you come in the league. You know, guys are all 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.120
