Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcomed inside training camp presented by Extinity.
Speaker 1: Dave Spidero. Chris McPherson's here at the Novacare Complex. The
Speaker 1: Eagles just a couple of days away from the preseason finale,
Speaker 1: and we've got a great show for you today, Chris,
Speaker 1: as the Eagles get ready for the Jets seven o'clock
Speaker 1: kickoff NBC ten. It's the Matt Barkley Show in the
Speaker 1: first half and the Tim Tebow Show in half number two. Yes,
Speaker 1: who will win the third quarterback job? Matt Barkley is
Speaker 1: the most experienced quarterback on this entire Eagles roster, but
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow has made some significant improvements throughout the spring,
Speaker 1: summer and thus far in the preseason, so certainly it's
Speaker 1: going to be the one to watch and Dave, quite honestly,
Speaker 1: there are a number of roster battles if fans will
Speaker 1: need to keep their eyes on, as Eagles will have
Speaker 1: a very tough decision, a slew of tough decisions ahead
Speaker 1: to get down to the fifty three man rosters. Some
Speaker 1: players that you know they might want to keep on
Speaker 1: the rosters. Somebody might well, I'll try to get to
Speaker 1: the practice squad, but you don't want to expose them
Speaker 1: too much and someday will make other rosters, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of part of the deal. In the preseason, you
Speaker 1: want to put yourself on tape. There are some young
Speaker 1: players who've impressed. Among them Raheem Mostard, for example, does
Speaker 1: he make the fifty three man roster would appear to
Speaker 1: be looking in from the outside, but is he good
Speaker 1: enough to be on the practice squad here or on
Speaker 1: some other teams practice squad Eagles also deep and wide receiver,
Speaker 1: Eagles deep in the secondary as well. So like you say,
Speaker 1: there are some roster battles to be won. The game
Speaker 1: on Thursday has some meaning for those who will be
Speaker 1: on the field, mostly young players. Let's get you caught
Speaker 1: up with everything happening with the Philadelphia Eagles throughout to
Speaker 1: the practice field. Alex Smith are three sixty Update. Hi
Speaker 1: every one, Alex Smith here with your three sixty update
Speaker 1: presented by Sports Authority. The Eagles are just a few
Speaker 1: days away from their final preseason game against the New
Speaker 1: York Jets on Thursday night, and of course, the big
Speaker 1: matchup to watch there will be between Tim Tebow and
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley as they battle for that third quarterback spot. Today,
Speaker 1: head coach Chip Kelly explained that both quarterbacks still have
Speaker 1: a lot to prove in the preseason finale. Now our
Speaker 1: opinions aren't formed, it's one more time for game opportunities, obviously.
Speaker 1: I think, especially with the quarterback position, practice is different
Speaker 1: just because they're wearing red jerseys, you know, when they're
Speaker 1: not hit. I think when you get him out there
Speaker 1: in a game, it's another opportunity to get a legitimate
Speaker 1: evaluation of him. So there is a lot of waiting it.
Speaker 1: Eagles fans will also be keeping a close eye on
Speaker 1: the roster bubble on Thursday night. One of those players
Speaker 1: is wide receiver Rashid Bailey, a local product who, according
Speaker 1: to head coach Chip Kelly, has not yet seen a
Speaker 1: stage that's too bright. And I think that's a positive
Speaker 1: because he's not overwhelmed or overcome because he's playing in
Speaker 1: his hometown or playing for his favorite team going up.
Speaker 1: I think he's he's really focused on what he has
Speaker 1: to do. When that's improved on a constant basis, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you worry about that when you get a guy
Speaker 1: in that situation, is he just kind of pressed and
Speaker 1: try to do too many things, and you know that
Speaker 1: remarked in our first game he was he was extremely calm,
Speaker 1: went out there and made plays against the Colts, and
Speaker 1: I think it's been impressive for him because it is
Speaker 1: it's obviously a different situation than anybody else is in.
Speaker 1: So catching up with Bailey after today's training session, the
Speaker 1: wide receiver spoke about not feeling any added pressure despite
Speaker 1: playing for his hometown team. I have no time to
Speaker 1: get caught on emotions. I have no time to say, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm that Philly kid, because sometimes that could be a burden,
Speaker 1: you know. Looking at round the locker room, I see
Speaker 1: a lot of big people, a lot of big names,
Speaker 1: and I want to be that one day. In order
Speaker 1: for me to be that way, I have to be
Speaker 1: here every day working hard like nothing else matters, and
Speaker 1: me being from this city, it means so much to me.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I cannot wear that on
Speaker 1: my sleeve. I have to come in here every day
Speaker 1: and do my job. Another player on that roster bubble
Speaker 1: is running back in special teams man Kenyon Barner, who
Speaker 1: knows that he's still has one more game to showcase
Speaker 1: his talents now was enough the game roof. I can
Speaker 1: never do enough, you know, either There's always more that
Speaker 1: you can do, always more that you can correct, always
Speaker 1: more that you can be. You know, don't get too high,
Speaker 1: don't get too low. That's my mindset. Just go out
Speaker 1: and do the best that I can make plays, capitalize
Speaker 1: on the opportunity that these guys give me. Of course,
Speaker 1: many of the Eagles veterans will not suit up on
Speaker 1: Thursday night, but veterans center Jason Kelsey is looking forward
Speaker 1: to the competition between Tim Tebow and Matt Barkley, not
Speaker 1: necessarily for the competition standpoint, but just to see how
Speaker 1: each quarterback thrives in this Eagles offense. I'm interested in
Speaker 1: seeing him both play. I like both of those guys
Speaker 1: are great team guys. You know, I'm not necessarily interested
Speaker 1: in the competition aspect of it. I'm just interested in watching,
Speaker 1: you know, our offensive glad to play. As for linebacker
Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans, he's already looking ahead to the Eagles Monday
Speaker 1: night regular season opener in Atlanta as he looks to
Speaker 1: get back on the field after a season ending achilles
Speaker 1: injury suffered last November. Yeah, of course, I'm ready to
Speaker 1: get back out there. Get back after missing you know,
Speaker 1: half the season last year. Of course I'm ready to
Speaker 1: get back out there and get back into the action.
Speaker 1: But uh, it'll be it'll be fun. It'll be fun
Speaker 1: time for me and be a good time. Probably have
Speaker 1: a lot of family there, seeing it. It's pretty close
Speaker 1: to Alabama, so probably have a lot of family there.
Speaker 1: The Eagles also finalized their seventy five man roster today
Speaker 1: ahead of the four o'clock deadline, as running back Kevin
Speaker 1: mcnungay was waved, linebacker Manuel Acho was waved injured with
Speaker 1: a thumb injury, and rookie cornerback Jacory Shephard was moved
Speaker 1: to season ending ir with a torn acl For all
Speaker 1: the latest on the Eagles, be sure to keep it
Speaker 1: right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Thanks Alex. A
Speaker 1: little bit later, we'll look at a player who's not
Speaker 1: going to play Thursday or Eagles and focus will beat
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray and new Eagles running back. I'll also go
Speaker 1: behind enemy lines with the Arizona Cardinals. But first our
Speaker 1: special in studio guest day. Yeah, Nolan Carroll has really
Speaker 1: stepped up his game from last year. He has been
Speaker 1: an impact player for the Eagles remade secondary. How does
Speaker 1: he do you think it's coming along in the secondary?

Speaker 1: I'm loving it. Time to talk a little defense. The
Speaker 1: Eagles overhauling the secondary in the offseason. Where do they
Speaker 1: stand now with one preseason game to go. Welcome into
Speaker 1: our studio. I'm insider Dave Spiderow along with cornerback Nolan Carroll.
Speaker 1: And first let's just talk about you, because every time
Speaker 1: you talk to a coach hit they mentioned you as
Speaker 1: the guy who's taken that quantum leap from last year.
Speaker 1: You feel that way, I do you know, I've I've
Speaker 1: definitely put in the work this offseason. You know, even
Speaker 1: before I even got up here started back home after
Speaker 1: the last game, I kind of told myself, you know,
Speaker 1: I need to do something different, you know, I need
Speaker 1: to be able to train a different way mentally and physically.
Speaker 1: And that's what I did. When I was home in
Speaker 1: Florida twice bice the day. I was just working out, man,
Speaker 1: just to get myself prepared for it for you know,
Speaker 1: this process now, the preseason and going into the season.
Speaker 1: Why what was the impetus to change things up for you?
Speaker 1: And I just just looking back at last year just
Speaker 1: the role that I had, I was it wasn't when
Speaker 1: I really pictured coming in coming here from from Miami,
Speaker 1: and I thought the role that I had in miamis
Speaker 1: and would be a similar role that I had, you know,
Speaker 1: coming in here. And it didn't work out that way,
Speaker 1: and you know, I did what the team needed me
Speaker 1: to do, but at the same time, I just felt
Speaker 1: like I could have done more. So, you know, I
Speaker 1: kind of had that chip on my shoulder after season
Speaker 1: ended and I just wanted to come back and improve
Speaker 1: to everybody that you know, I'm I'm a good player.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm the player that you saw a film
Speaker 1: when I was at Miami, and I'm just just here
Speaker 1: to continue to prove that, Isn't it nice to know? Then?
Speaker 1: And I imagine there are times in the league where
Speaker 1: players get stereotype typecast. They don't really even if they improved,
Speaker 1: they don't really maybe get that honest look from a
Speaker 1: coaching staff. You appreciate the fact that Corey Unlin, Bill
Speaker 1: Davis looked at you with very objective eyes. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so. You know, they kind of made it a
Speaker 1: clean slate, you know, for everybody coming in for during
Speaker 1: the OTAs, and basically I just attacked it, you know.
Speaker 1: When they told me that, I just looked at it
Speaker 1: as you know, everybod by just competing against everyone. So
Speaker 1: I just, you know, I just tried to win everything
Speaker 1: as much as possible, whatever the situation might have been
Speaker 1: on or off the field. You know, I wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure that now I wasn't one to stick out.
Speaker 1: You are not going to play on Thursday, and of
Speaker 1: course it's unofficial, but I can't see that having So
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the big picture in
Speaker 1: the secondary. What are you seeing, what are you feeling?
Speaker 1: What can we expect? And I just think that all
Speaker 1: of us together are on the same page me, Malcolm
Speaker 1: uh Byron, you know, and and walk. We all see
Speaker 1: things the same way as a lot of open dialogue
Speaker 1: between us and coach Corey as far as you know,
Speaker 1: how we see coverages, how we see routes, different kind
Speaker 1: of adjustments that we see on film. And you know,
Speaker 1: we didn't really have that last year. You know, last
Speaker 1: year's a lot of doubt in most of our coverages
Speaker 1: and what we wanted to do, and there wasn't a
Speaker 1: lot of communication on the field, which resulted in a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, the X places was the things
Speaker 1: that we tried to communicate try to eliminate this year.
Speaker 1: You know. So for us, every single day is always
Speaker 1: something you know between you know, the corners and the
Speaker 1: safety is about what we're trying to do in our
Speaker 1: coverage is how do we want to disguise it? You know,
Speaker 1: what the quarterback is seeing how he views us. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that go back and forth
Speaker 1: daily so we can try and perfect what we're doing
Speaker 1: going into the season. A lot of questions about Nickel,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen there? I don't know right now.
Speaker 1: I was just trying to you know, they they put
Speaker 1: me in there last week to get a feel for it,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm going to continue to do it.
Speaker 1: You play well, I think I did Yeah for being
Speaker 1: out there first time. I haven't played it since in
Speaker 1: my rookie years. So hard about it? Why is it
Speaker 1: so much different? Much different from outside? It's not that
Speaker 1: much different. It's just you have more real estate that
Speaker 1: you have to cover now. You know, when they call
Speaker 1: those those man coverages, you don't necessarily have help or
Speaker 1: have the boundaries you know that you normally would on
Speaker 1: the outside. You know, now you're dealing with really hash
Speaker 1: to hash or sideline and sideline, and they can do
Speaker 1: a lot of routes. They can do a lot of things.
Speaker 1: They can pick you, they can run over routes, they
Speaker 1: can run whip routes. You know, so you really have
Speaker 1: to be discipline with your eyes and your technique really
Speaker 1: has to be sound in there, because you know, if
Speaker 1: they beat you one where another, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: real estate they haven't worked with. So just being in there,
Speaker 1: you have to be patient and use your technique and
Speaker 1: just go off your coverage, whatever your leverage might be
Speaker 1: in that courage and kind of try and disguise it
Speaker 1: to miss with the slot receiver or the quarterback. You're
Speaker 1: in position to help some of these young pups, Eric
Speaker 1: and Randall and all these youngert How were they coming
Speaker 1: along and how do you feel about that role of
Speaker 1: being kind of a mentor and at the same time
Speaker 1: making sure that you're playing your best football. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember at the time when I was young too, and
Speaker 1: I was in their shoes, so I know a lot
Speaker 1: of things are just being thrown at them right now
Speaker 1: and they have to try and retain it. And then
Speaker 1: when they retain they have to go in the field
Speaker 1: and show physically you know how they've been able to
Speaker 1: retain that information. And you know, sometimes your heads, you're
Speaker 1: spending so much because you got to know the coverage,
Speaker 1: you got to get lined up, and on top of that,
Speaker 1: the pace is going so fast, so you know you're
Speaker 1: tired out there. So you gotta remember, you gotta think,
Speaker 1: and for those guys to tell them just to settle down,
Speaker 1: just hear the play call. Once you hear the play call,
Speaker 1: you know, processing your mind what you have to do,
Speaker 1: what your job is, and only think about that one play.
Speaker 1: Don't think about the last player, don't think about the
Speaker 1: next play, think about when you're gonna take a break.
Speaker 1: Just go out there and just do your job, and
Speaker 1: then when you see it on film, be corrected. Don't
Speaker 1: don't worry about what the coach thinks about you. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about you know, what players might think of you
Speaker 1: if you give up a player whatnot. You know, everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna get beat in this league, so you know, just
Speaker 1: just be calm out there and just play hard and
Speaker 1: play fast, played with effort. Last one. I know you've
Speaker 1: been around the league a couple of days. You know,
Speaker 1: Eagles fans are looking at this preseason three and old
Speaker 1: thousand points of game scored. Do you feel it with
Speaker 1: this team? You feel like this could be a pretty
Speaker 1: good team. I definitely think so, you know, just a
Speaker 1: really good team. I really think we have a chance
Speaker 1: to be really great, you know, just because of some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that we've been doing since you know,
Speaker 1: we started back in April twentieth. Chip has done a
Speaker 1: real good job of really having offensive guys interact with
Speaker 1: defensive guys, and old lineman interacting with you know, dbs
Speaker 1: and dbs interacting with quarterbacks and wide receivers interacting with linebackers.
Speaker 1: He's kind of meshed everybody together. And you know, guys
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't normally talk to on the team you
Speaker 1: talk to and you find information out about them that
Speaker 1: you wouldn't necessarily know if you went out your way
Speaker 1: and actually try to talk to them, you know. So
Speaker 1: that helps us, you know, being able to care for
Speaker 1: one another more because you know a little bit more
Speaker 1: information about them than you wouldn't really do, you know,
Speaker 1: so that makes you care about them on the field
Speaker 1: more and want to go one hundred percent for those guys,
Speaker 1: and you know it shows up on the field. You know,
Speaker 1: guys are supporting one another out there. Older guys are
Speaker 1: supporting younger guys when they're out there and they have
Speaker 1: their turn. So you know, it's it's it's a brotherhood,
Speaker 1: it's a family just because of what we've been doing
Speaker 1: for so long, the culture that we've been doing, the
Speaker 1: togetherness and the bonding is I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: specially love it, Love it, love it. Thanks all right, man,
Speaker 1: have a good Thursday. Don't work too hard on the sidelines,
Speaker 1: keep your eyes on the field. Not knowing Carroll and

Speaker 1: never stopping Arson one, I never know anywhere. With el
Speaker 1: My Boma eating the Eagles and the Cardinals are playing
Speaker 1: once again, and what's starting to seem like a rivalry
Speaker 1: here between the former once upon a time MC East rivals. Now,
Speaker 1: of course, the Cardinals are in the MC West, and
Speaker 1: the person who covers them better than anyone is Darren
Speaker 1: Urban from Acy Cardinals dot Com. Darren, we want to
Speaker 1: look at what the Carlins are gonna do in twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: and the biggest question there, obviously, with most teams is
Speaker 1: at quarterback. What difference will it make having a healthy
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer running the offense. Well, you figure it's going
Speaker 1: to make all the difference in the world. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you look at Carson Palmer's last fifteen starts, which
Speaker 1: because of last season and the injuries he suffered stretches
Speaker 1: over the last two seasons, but his last fifteen starts,
Speaker 1: he's thirteen and two, is passing. His quarterback rating is
Speaker 1: right around ninety five. He's cut down his interceptions way down.
Speaker 1: So I mean, it makes all the difference in the world.
Speaker 1: And if you have a healthy Carson Palmer, he knows
Speaker 1: this offense. Now the key people in this that are
Speaker 1: playing on that side of the ball and know the
Speaker 1: offense really well. I think it's going to make a
Speaker 1: big difference for this team. And if their offensive line
Speaker 1: gels the way they want, with an addition of Mikey
Speaker 1: Potty at guard, they might be actually able to run
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit, which I think will give
Speaker 1: them balance that they haven't had previously. Dann, I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about the run game. The Cardinals drafted
Speaker 1: David Johnson out of Northern Iowa. Is he the guy
Speaker 1: to finally give you a complete running game here to
Speaker 1: really help this offense round itself out well. I think
Speaker 1: the plan still is to have Andre Ellington be the
Speaker 1: big part of the offense, and when he's healthy, he's
Speaker 1: a dynamic playmaker that I think would be are important
Speaker 1: for this team. David Johnson gives them a bigger back
Speaker 1: than Andrea Ellington. He's more muscular, he's just more physical,
Speaker 1: but really his skill set in a lot of ways
Speaker 1: is just like Andrea Ellington. He can run the ball,
Speaker 1: but he's a really good receiver. And I think the
Speaker 1: idea there is in the end, if Andrea Ellington does
Speaker 1: get hurt, you have a guy you could plug into
Speaker 1: the offense and still run the same place. Part of
Speaker 1: the problem the Cardinals had last year was when Andre
Speaker 1: Ellington had his foot issues and was dealing with that
Speaker 1: all season long before he finally went down for good
Speaker 1: with a core problem. H They didn't really have anybody
Speaker 1: else who could come in and do the same things
Speaker 1: he did, and that was an issue in terms of
Speaker 1: play calling and that sort of thing. And with David Johnson,
Speaker 1: if he can spell attired Andre Ellington, or you know,
Speaker 1: God forbid Andrea Ellington gets hurt again and you can
Speaker 1: bring in a guy that can do the same types
Speaker 1: of things. It just makes for a continuity that wasn't
Speaker 1: there previously. All Right, Darren, please tell Eagles fans that
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald is on a decline. Yeah, it's obviously Larry's older.
Speaker 1: His numbers overall are probably not going to be what
Speaker 1: they used to be, in part because of how this
Speaker 1: offense is run, how they use him, the you know,
Speaker 1: addition to John Brown last year, and obviously Eagles fans
Speaker 1: know all about John Brown. Thanks for appreciate, but clearly, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be me if I didn't go ahead and
Speaker 1: put that out there. But the good thing for the
Speaker 1: Cardinals was when Carson Palmer was healthy after he had
Speaker 1: the nerve issue and his shoulder early last year, and
Speaker 1: he and Fitzgerald finally gone on the same page. And
Speaker 1: there was a six game span which included the Eagles game,
Speaker 1: where if you broke those numbers down and you kind
Speaker 1: of extrapolated out over a full sixteen game season, Larry
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald was still a thousand yard receiver with more, you know,
Speaker 1: eight to ten touchdowns, And I think that's what they're
Speaker 1: still hoping if Palmer's healthy and Larry stays healthy. You know,
Speaker 1: there was no question that when Palmer went down early
Speaker 1: and then again when he went down for good, that
Speaker 1: hurt Larry Fitzgerald's numbers, and that another reason why they
Speaker 1: were down. But when they were both healthy and on
Speaker 1: the field, they were clicking. And I think they're hoping
Speaker 1: that's still the case. You know, is Larry Fitzgerald gonna
Speaker 1: gain thirteen or fourteen hundred yards in a season? Again,
Speaker 1: that's probably a long shot, even if everybody's healthy again
Speaker 1: because of the way things are constructed. But I know
Speaker 1: he still believes he's the same Larry Fitzgerald he's always been,
Speaker 1: and clearly he can still put up some numbers. Derek,
Speaker 1: how much of a drop off will there be on defense,
Speaker 1: if any at all, with Todd Bowles leaving the defensive
Speaker 1: coordinate post to take the head coach job with the
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Well, right now, the players insist that
Speaker 1: there won't be a drop off, and James Betcher, who's
Speaker 1: the new defensive coordiner, insists there won't be a drop off.
Speaker 1: He's been on this staff, the players all know him.
Speaker 1: He was already starting to be groomed to be bowles
Speaker 1: replacement because, quite frankly, the Cardinals were expecting Todd Bowles
Speaker 1: to get a head coaching job sooner rather later. They
Speaker 1: actually thought he might get one after the twenty thirteen seasons.
Speaker 1: So they've been prepared for this for a long time.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm sure you're not surprised either. When
Speaker 1: you're talking about players, good players, Patrick Peterson and Chalais Campbell,
Speaker 1: you know, a Tyrn Matthew, those kinds of guys. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of belief in themselves and in the end,
Speaker 1: they know that coaching is important, and it is important,
Speaker 1: but they believe that in the end it's about the
Speaker 1: players making plays, and they feel like they still have
Speaker 1: the talent to do it. They've got a lot of veterans,
Speaker 1: They've added some veterans. They have good leadership on that
Speaker 1: side of the ball. We might not know exactly what
Speaker 1: James Betcher is going to be as a coordinator until
Speaker 1: we get to the regular season and we see what
Speaker 1: kind of adjustments he's able to make in game. One
Speaker 1: of the great things about Todd Bowls was he was
Speaker 1: really good at halftime adjustments and had always made a
Speaker 1: difference to this team in the second half. Their defense
Speaker 1: always played really well. We'll see how that goes with
Speaker 1: James Betcher, but I know right now the confidence is
Speaker 1: high on that side of the ball that they can
Speaker 1: continue doing what they've been doing. Last year's loss of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals kept Eagles out of playoffs. We'll see what
Speaker 1: happens this time around. Darren Urban from Azy Cardinals dot

Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field, We welcome you back. It's inside training
Speaker 1: Campers any by x Affinity. Dave and Chris here and
Speaker 1: our Eagle and Focus is someone Chris we think we'll
Speaker 1: get a few touches. A big move for the Eagles
Speaker 1: in free agency and really an entire shakeup in the
Speaker 1: Eagles backfield. Yes, Indeed, after a historic for the age
Speaker 1: in Dallas, the Eagles signed to Marco Murray to revamp
Speaker 1: the rushing attack. Led the league in rushing yards and
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage a year ago. What will he bring
Speaker 1: to Eagle's offense. It's a brand new scheme that Hegas
Speaker 1: wanted to run from the backfield, and Murray's the one
Speaker 1: leading the way. He is our Eagle and Focus. Let's
Speaker 1: send it out now to Alex Smith. High Eagles fans.
Speaker 1: Alex Smith here as we wrap up our Eagle and
Speaker 1: Focus series with the prize of the twenty fifteen offseason
Speaker 1: Free Agent edition. Running back to Marco Murray. Eagles fans
Speaker 1: have known Mary's name since he came into the league
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, primarily because he's been the workhorse back
Speaker 1: for the rival of Dallas Cowboys. Last season, Mary was
Speaker 1: flat out fantastic as he rushed for eighteen hundred and
Speaker 1: forty five yards and thirteen touchdowns, both of which led
Speaker 1: the league. He also became the first player in NFL
Speaker 1: history to run for at least one hundred yards in
Speaker 1: each of his team's first eight games. But then in
Speaker 1: April that foe became a friend as Mary signed a
Speaker 1: five year contract here in Philadelphia. The two time Pro
Speaker 1: Bowlers North South nonsense style of running makes him a
Speaker 1: perfect fit in this Eagle's offense. Just his style, how
Speaker 1: he plays. You know, obviously we faced him twice, you know,
Speaker 1: you get a chance to see him up close and
Speaker 1: personal and what he can do. But a physical downhill runner,
Speaker 1: really what a zone scheme. We're looking for a downhill
Speaker 1: one cut runner, and both him and Ryan I think
Speaker 1: possessed those qualities. And when you have a physical downhill
Speaker 1: running you better have two of them because they're going
Speaker 1: to carry the ball, but they're also gonna take a
Speaker 1: lot of physical shots, so we want to be able
Speaker 1: to spread out the carries. Um, we were real fortunate,
Speaker 1: you know, I think in a real credit to Lashawan
Speaker 1: that we had for the last two years. You know,
Speaker 1: had your fingers crossed the whole time that he never
Speaker 1: get injured. And it's a real credit to him in
Speaker 1: terms of his durability. But knowing the style that those
Speaker 1: guys have. I think being able to distribute the carriage
Speaker 1: through two guys as is what we're looking to do.
Speaker 1: Mary joins a talented cast of runners here in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: along with Ryan Matthews and Darren's roles, and he also
Speaker 1: rejoins quarterback Sam Bradford as the duo gets to relive
Speaker 1: their glory days from Oklahoma, where Mary said school records
Speaker 1: in all purpose the ardage and helped lead this Sooners
Speaker 1: to a BCS national title game appearance in two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight. For Eagle and Focus, I'm Alex Smith. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much, Alex. We are back tomorrow with our Day
