WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: Barkley Gets The Call

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Hello Eagles fans. I'm Chris McPherson and welcome to Insight

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Training Camp presented by Expanity. I'm joined by Paul Walt

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>As we're gonna look at the eagles first practice since

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the team won its first preseason game of the Exhibition

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>sleep over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. It was

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>a dreary, rainy day in Philadelphia, and it was also

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the pressing day for certain players who's run with the

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Eagles came to an end. The Eagles with the big

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>news coming out of the norforcare getting a head start

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>on making the roster cuts to get to the mandate

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>seventy five man NFL limits before Tuesday's four pm deadline

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>by parting ways with fourteen players on the Saturday. Both

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah and I think Chip Kelly said that the reason

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>they've made the guys released today was so that they

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>could have a chance to latch onto another team, and

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>also just because you want to prepare for Thursday nights games,

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>so you want to have the guys who were playing

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>as for the cuts themselves. No huge surprises. Eight former

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>undrafted rookies on this list. One former US Army ranger

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in Ali Jandro Villaneueva, two guys who are on the

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>practice squad last year. I think the biggest surprises, at

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>least many surprises, were probably Jacot, who was on the

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>roster last season. He's facing that four game suspension. He's

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>also eligible for the practice squad still, so it's a

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>possibility we may see him come back. Former seventh round

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.279
<v Speaker 1>picked Joe Krueger, who spent last season on injured reserve,

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>never really seemed like a scheme fit here. He's a

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>talented player, but I think probably better suited for a

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>four three defense and then a mere league nagu who

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>was also on the roster last season. Just too much

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>depth at the tight end position, I think right now, yes,

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>no question about it. So again, the Eagles releasing fourteen players.

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>The roster SAMs now at seventy six. The entire current

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>draft class remains on the roster, along with an additional

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>seven rookie free agents. The other big news of the

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>day head coach Chip Kelly announcing that the starters will

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>not play Thursday against the New York Jets. The next

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>time you'll see them on the field is the season

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>opener on September seventh against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Matt Barkley

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>gets a starter quarterback and bow with the way that

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>these stars performed and Thursday Nights went over Pittsburgh, are

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you surprised by the announcement. I'm not surprised. And not

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>only were the starters so impressive in that first half

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>against the Steelers, just dominating the opposition, but the second team,

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>both offense and defense were so impressive as well, beating

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers starters in the third quarters. So I'm not

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>surprised if the starters are getting the night off. Also

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>not surprised that Mark Sanchez is getting the night off

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>because he's been one of the best performers of this

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>preseason slat. I'm sure beat writers from both the Eagles

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and Jets were disappointed not to have these Sanchez versus

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Jets storyline, but I think Chip Kelly's right. He wants

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to see Matt Barkley get an extended time to evaluate

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the second year former fourth round pick. So I'm excited

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to see what Matt Barkley can do with a full game. Yeah,

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Barkley performed well in the preseason up to this date,

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't get a lot of time against the Steelers, did

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>leave him on a scoring drive, but nonetheless you definitely

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>want to see him in an extended action. We should

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>also mention that Nate Allen is not playing and Earl

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Wolf is playing. Chip Kelly wants to see more from

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Earl Wolf. I think that probably tells you where that

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>competition stands heading into the regular season. Well. Following the

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>game on Thursday, Chip Kelly has said that Nate Allens

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>had a tremendous training camp up to this point. So

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he worked with the first team has

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>played well I think sternly boswell for him in terms

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>of being in the starting lineup for when the regular

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>season begins. Okay for the rest of the news here

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>from the Novercare Complex, including more from head coach Chip Kelly.

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's send it to our roundup. One of the best

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>quotes of today. I don't know exactly if we'll be

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>at seventy five. We're gonna make a predominant amount of

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.119
<v Speaker 1>our cuts today instead of Tuesday. We just didn't feel

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>it was beneficial to the players to have him practice

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>with us Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and then cut

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>him in the afternoon on Tuesday. So um, you know,

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>give him a chance if there is a chance, and

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there is, see if they can

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>catch on with somebody else in this last week before

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>they get in. It's tough to bring somebody in if

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>they get released at seventy five at Tuesday at four

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>o'clock and bring him in and getting ready to play

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>in the game on Thursday, if if you wanted them,

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>So twos ready for twos ready for the gets game. Ya.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>No starters will play in that game, including Uh. I

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>think there's a couple twos that won't play. So we're

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna start Matt Barkley in that game. We need to

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 1>see Matt play a lot. I think we feel very

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>very comfortable in what Mark Sanchez has done in the

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>first three games, So both Nick and Matt. Nick and

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Mark will be out in that game. And then uh,

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>we want to see Matt play for an extended period

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>of time. I mean, Matto looks great. He's done a

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>great job through OTA's, through training camp, and through the preseason.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>He's really you can see nine day difference from he

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>just looks a lot more comfortable. He knows where he's

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>going with the ball, and he delivers it. With accuracy

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and precision, and you know, you can see the confidence

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>out there. He's a great leader. So I'm excited to

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>see him playing and excited seej play in this game

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>coming up. It's always fun. It's always interesting to watch

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the young guys battle. In that last game. You know,

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you get some guys. You're gonna see a few guys

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>just just rise, rise to the top, and it shows

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna take a lot of toughness out of those

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>guys to go out of play because they have to

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>play on special teams and play on offense and defense.

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>And you'll you'll see some flashes of some guys doing

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>some really, really great things in his fourth game. All right,

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later in the show, we're gonna preview

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>or one on one interview with linebacker Brandon Graham, who

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>had the strip sack Thursday against the Steelers, and today's

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>player in focus, there's gonna be a linebacker Michael Kendricks,

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>who was all over the ball in the win over

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers. But first time for a little bit of

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. I'm bo Wolf. That's

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Joe Dolan from Fantasy Guru dot Com, and as we

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>get you ready for your respective fantasy drafts, we want

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>to talk about players to avoid, and we'll start with

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the best running backs in the league. But

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to get off the train earlier than later,

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's Marshawn Lynch in Seattle. Yeah, Bo, it's a

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a theorem. I kind of preach each and every year.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>You want to get off the bandwagon a year too

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>early rather than a year too late. And I think

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that applies to Marshall Lynch this year. And I think

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>even Marshawn Lynch kind of sees the writing on the

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>wall with his brief hold out at Seahawks camp. They

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>have a ready made replacement and a talented kid named

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Kristin Michael, somebody you might want to target in the

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>middle rounds of your fantasy drafts. But most of all,

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I just think Marshawn Lynch plays a style of football

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>that lends itself to wearing a guy's body down. Over

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the last six games of last year in the regular season,

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>he averaged three and a half yards per carry, which

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>is really not Marshawn Lynch's type of game. While he

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>played well in the playoffs. He was slowed down in

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl, which people don't really talk about because

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks just have their way with the Broncos and

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>basically every other way. But Marshawn Lynch, if he's still

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>going in the first round of your draft, he is

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody I would absolutely rather let somebody else take. I'll

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.319
<v Speaker 1>take Aj Green, I'll take Brandon Marshall before I take

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Marshawn Lynch who I think has a

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>few red flags. And as I said, I think Marshawn

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Lynch even knows about those red flags. That's why he

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.680
<v Speaker 1>held out and is trying to get every last cent

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>out of the Seattle Seahawks while he's still can at

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver. A player who has been a beast in

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>ppo our formats for the last five ten years is

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Wes Welker. But you think it's time to get off

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>that bandwagon as well. Absolutely, And the reason is the

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>concussion history just really worries me. Now, if Wes Welker

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 1>retired this past offseason, I don't think anybody would have

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>blamed him. He's had a great career, but he's also

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>taken a heck of a lot of hits, and for

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a guy like that on my fantasy team, if I'm

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>investing resources into my team, I'm a little worried about

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>West Welker. Now, he had a very good year last year.

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 1>He's still a very good player, and playing with Peyton

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Manning is a great thing for a fantasy player. The

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>problem with Wes Welker because of the concussions, he wasn't

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>available in weeks fifteen and sixteen, two key playoff weeks.

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>You missed him if he was one of your leading

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>receivers throughout the year. So if Wes Welker wasn't available

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>in those two weeks, I think it just shows the risk.

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>It shows that he is one hit away from probably

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>having to hang it up for good. And that's why

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>West Walker where he's getting drafted right now, I want

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>absolutely no part of him. And Emmanuel Standards can slide

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>right into that slot position and he's easily replaceable. And

0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>how about the guy who used to throw it to

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Wes Welker, Tom Brady. We've talked about waiting on quarterbacks,

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>but if you're in those middle rounds, Tom Brady is

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>not the one you want. No, it's definitely not. And

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the reason I don't want Brady is because I think

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 1>in most drafts, if you're drafting with your pals, or

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>even you're drafting with people who really know what they're doing,

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady is still kind of a name value guy.

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>But if you had him last year, you realize that

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Brady wasn't exactly a great fantasy asset. He admittedly was

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>really good when Rob Grinkowski was healthy. However, Rob Grinkowski

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>has major, major injury concerns. I know he's supposed to

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>be healthy this year, but that's another story. The thing

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>with Brady is he was about the fifteenth sixteenth ranked

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>quarterback for the full season last year, and that includes

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>his weeks when he had gronk and was a viable starter.

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Most of the year, he was a mediocre backup. And

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>if Brady's getting drafted in the middle of the fifth

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 1>or the sixth round, which is whereas adp currently has

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>him going, I am absolutely letting somebody buy him to

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the name value while I take Nick Foles, or I

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>take Colin Kaepernick, or I take Jay Cutler, somebody I

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 1>think will outproduce Brady this year. For a more fantasy

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to Inside Training Camp presented by Spending. Now

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it's the sweetest time of the day. Here time for

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>two minute tweets and the first one bow will start

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>off with today from at JU five forty six. Where

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>do you rank the Eagles inside linebackers? Well, obviously Demico

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Ryans and Michael Kendricks are a top of that ranking.

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Will talk a little bit more about Michael Kendricks later

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>in the show, but after that, I think Nagy Good

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>is firmly entrenched as the number three guy, the first

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>guy to go in off the bench. And then right

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>now we're gonna find out whether it's Emmanuel Acho or

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Casey Matthews. I think right now I would give the

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>slight edge to Casey Matthews just because he's a little

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.439
<v Speaker 1>bit better special team's player, a little bit more versatile.

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 1>But Acho brings something to the table as well. And

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>then we also shouldn't forget Travis Long, who took extensive

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 1>reps at inside linebacker in the third preseason game against

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers, showing his versatility. Maybe if there's a guy

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.599
<v Speaker 1>you can Trust to be that fourth inside linebacker and

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Travis Long. It allows you to only keep three of

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>these guys and go heavy at outside linebacker. I was

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna say the versatility and special teams will obviously be

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a key there, especially now that they're cross training some

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.079
<v Speaker 1>of the guys to play both on the outside inside.

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned Matthews, he can do that as well. Second

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>question here comes from at e god Swag twenty wants

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to know how many receivers will make the Eagles roster

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.679
<v Speaker 1>and what's the plan if I don't want to read

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the rest of this question quite frankly, but if Macklin

0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>should go down for a good chunk of the season, well,

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many wide receivers are going to

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>take And that's one of the more interesting roster dilemma

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>is heading into this cutdown. But obviously you've got Raley Cooper,

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Macklin, and Jordan Matthews firmly on the team. I

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.959
<v Speaker 1>think I think Brad Smith is probably a good bet

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to make it as well because of what he brings

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>on special teams. Josh Huff It's going to come down

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 1>to whether he's ready injury wise. I think he will

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>be and I think he'll be on the roster. And

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>then the question is do they keep a six guy,

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Do they keep a Realius ben who's a very good

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>special teams player, or do they keep a guy like

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>a Fani MoMA who has been so impressive in terms

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of the jumpies men from last season to this season,

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 1>or do they try to maybe develop him on the

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>practice squads. I mean, very interesting. Head coach Chip Kelly

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>is saying here on Saturday that he will not make

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Huff a candidate for the short term injury reserved designation.

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>But in that case, do you maybe keep an extra

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>receiver if Huff is not able to be ready for

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the start of season. Should we know that the Eagles

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 1>did have six receivers on the roster to finish last season.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>In terms of Macklin being on the outside, don't forget

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 1>about guys like Jeff Mayle who could be in the mix.

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>He plays on the outside. DeMars Johnson could be in

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>there as well. So certainly a lot of options for

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles. And really, I think this last preseason game,

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>although it shouldn't be the final test in terms of

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you want to use the entire preseason as a gauge

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>still gonna be very very important to kind of shake

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>these last few spots out. That's right, all right. Our

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 1>third question from Squanky Greed at Jay Green Eagles wants

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to know do you think that Brandon Graham will get

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>some pure playing time this season behind trend call. I

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what pure playing time isn't necessarily, but your

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on Brandon Graham season ahead. Brand Graham two sacks

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason. The team has five totals, so he

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>has forty percent of the team's told, tie with Vinny

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Kurry for the team lead. He has certainly showed that

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>pass rush punch that he can bring off the edge,

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>certainly very good in those situations. He had the strip

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>sack as we mentioned earlier in the show against the Steeler,

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 1>also made a couple other plays against Pittsburgh. So he's

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>someone who I think is definitely capable of coming in

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and look making that transition last year from being a

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>four three end his entire career to a three four

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>outside linebacker, which still adjusting the play in space, but

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>in terms of being able to get after the quarterback,

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>he's definitely one of the best at this on this team.

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>In that regard and what a well designed show today, Chris,

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>because you had a chance to talk to Brandon Graham

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>earlier today. Yes, Brandon Graham, former first round pick, certainly

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>understands that it hasn't quite lived up to the fans

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 1>expectation to this point in his career. Well, why could

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 1>things be different in twenty fourteen? Here's what he had decide.

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Nate might have been out there a little you know,

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>he's been a starter a little more than I have,

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, But I mean it's just one of them

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>things where we're both trying to show, you know, Eagle

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>fans and you know, the Philadelphia organization that you know

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>that they made the right pick with us, and that

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, we can continuously learn and whatever you bring,

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, in here, we're gonna definitely thrive, you know.

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's one of the things that this year, I'm like, man,

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta have a big year. And that's why I'm

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>just so hungry, you know, because I know that we

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>got the team to take it all the way. And

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you can watch the entire interview with Brandon Graham on

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow's edition of Insight Training Camp presented Bike's Fitty but

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Up next, it's our player and focus segment that's right.

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>And today it's Michael kenn Dricks, who of course many

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>expectations for the jump he's going to make in the

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>second year in this phill Davis defense. Let's find out

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 1>what Melissa Kelly says is in store for Michael Kendricks

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>in twenty fourteen. Linebacker Michael Kendricks has been an integral

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 1>part of the Eagles defense since joining the team in

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty twelve. In twenty thirteen, he led the NFL with

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.880
<v Speaker 1>four fumble recoveries and was also second on the team

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.160
<v Speaker 1>with one hundred and thirty seven tackles. Three preseason games

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>in Kendricks has seven tackles and one pass reflection and

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 1>has continued to prove to defensive coordinator Bill Davis why

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 1>he is such a valuable part of the Eagles defense.

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I think Michael being a young player that's in the

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.159
<v Speaker 1>second year of the same defense, I think is a

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 1>real benefit to Michael, and he's understanding the bigger picture,

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the bigger concepts, and it allows him He's already a

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.240
<v Speaker 1>fast player, but when you allow his mind to slow

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>down a little bit, like we're talking about Marcus and

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 1>his growth. When the mind slows down and the game

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:52.920
<v Speaker 1>slows down and you're more sure of what you do,

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 1>all that athleticism and quickness and verse shows itself a

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>lot more. Head coach Chip Kelly got its taste of

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 1>how well Dricks could play last season and has already

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.439
<v Speaker 1>seen the progression in his second year under the system.

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Michael's gotten better, you know, And I say it a lot,

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>but it's true with all those guys that's their second

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>year and he has a better understanding. Um, if you

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>see him off the field, him and him and Demika

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.919
<v Speaker 1>are kind of inseparable. They work extremely well together. Um,

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>they're always talking football, They're they're always involved in terms

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of what's going on. UM. I think he's you know,

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.479
<v Speaker 1>we want him to make that jump from year one

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to year two. There's should should be a big improvement

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>just because his understanding what's going on. But I can

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>see it on the field and I think he's as

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 1>he continues to develop. Are really excited about him in there.

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 1>As far as Kendricks goes, he has high confidence in

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>his team for this upcoming season. We're gonna be better

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.199
<v Speaker 1>in every aspect. So and that goes on offense, that's

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's a team. You know what I'm saying,

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 1>coaches understand players, players and are saying coaches, Um, we

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>know what we needed to work on last year. We

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>know we have down pet, we know we need work on,

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>so we're able to focus on those things all around,

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>second year, better Eagles team. After an exciting win against

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.240
