WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: August 5

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>The Pads were a pop in once again on Friday

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>at an opencare complex. Hello everyone and welcomed inside training

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.199
<v Speaker 1>camp presented by Extinity, Dave Spidero and Chris McPherson. The

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Eagles holding another very physical practice on Friday. We're gonna

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>get into that a little bit here, Christ. The theme

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>of this practice session here, this training camp is let's

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>get physical, and Olivia Newton John is not here. You

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>go a little bit more more time with that reference there,

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But nonetheless, Doug Pierson said that he wanted a physical

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>training camp and he has lived up to those expectations

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>thus far. Is really important for the players to get

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>into the mindset, the mentality of getting physical, tackling, practicing it,

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and for the offensive players getting adjusted to it. So

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>when you get to the first preseason game, it's not

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>new again. You're not shaking off russ. You can hit

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the season running, so to speak. And the biggest thing

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>for Doug Peterson is he wants his team to be

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 1>physically and mentally tough in the fourth quarters of games

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>and in the second half of the season, which is

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>something that we have not seen from this team the

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>last couple of seasons. Coincidence with the way training camp

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>was held before. We'll wait and find out. We'll see

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>what kind of impact it has on this two thousand

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and sixteen season. Let's get you caught up with some

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>of the injuries, players coming back, players missing practice, and

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>players leaving practice on this Friday. Okay, back at practice

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, running back Ryan Matthews and offensive guard Brandon Brooks.

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>They took part in some individual drills and some group

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>installed drills. Will get to some sound from Brandon Brooks

0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about his return from injury. Leaving practice today, Ertz

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>who is cleared of any concussion problems, Marcus Smith treated

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and evaluated for a concussion, Jordan Matthews a knee injury

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>that will keep him out for a couple of days,

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>nothing serious though, and Mike Martin, defensive tackle, also leading

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>practice with a knee injury. Among those players missing practice,

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Jason Peters continues to miss practice with that quad injury,

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>when Dale Smallwood out with a quad injury, Knowing Carroll

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.119
<v Speaker 1>out with a maintenance day, and then Malcolm Jenkins out

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>with his hamstring injury. Again because none of these injuries

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>considered serious, and again the Eagles holding as physical to

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>training camp as they have obviously since the Andy Read days.

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna bumps and bruises along the way. But again

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned this on yesterday's show. You need to learn

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>about some of the deaf guys, and yes, you want

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>to develop some chemistry along the way, get some continuity

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>at these positions. But when you look at the safety

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>position in particular, you're set with Malcolm Jenkins at Rodney

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>McLeod was out today due to a family excuse absence.

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>But nonetheless, though, you need to find out who are

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be the backup guys at those positions. Jason

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Peters out again from practice today. You know Matt Tobin

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>goes into left tackle. You need to learn about those

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>guys who might be called into emergency action. Because players

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>aren't going to all make it through a sixteen game

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>rigorous schedule. You're gonna have to have backups who are

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>going to step into starting roles at one point or another.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>So learn about those guys now. Put him those situations

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>now so when the time comes during the season, they'll

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>be fully prepared. So Brandon Brooks, the prize free agent

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>acquisition in pads today important for him to get out

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 1>there and after practice, he talked about his return from

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>injury and where he feels he is in terms of

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>mental preparation for the preseason game on Thursday. It feels good.

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you get back out here? You know, I never

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>want to not be out here with your teammates when

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>they're grinding. So, I mean, the biggest thing is, you know,

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>when you're sitting in there, you know, watching guys out

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>here practicing. You know, you're sitting from trying to ride

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the biker, running on a tread mill or something, wishing

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you're out there, but at the same time makes you,

0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, more hungry when you come out from a

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>mental standpoint, I mean, I know what I'm doing. No,

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not a big deal. It's just you know, conditioning

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>yourself to you know, hitting hitting people every day, you know,

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>things of that nature. Um, you know. Luckily for me,

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not like I'm necessarily like a young guy more

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>of a middle in the road guys, So you don't

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>know what it takes. So you know, a little bit

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>more time just to keep progressing each and every day.

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles have still not had all five projected starters

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>along the offensive line out on the field at the

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>same time in training camp. But having Brooks back really

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>huge for the Eagles. They want to make sure that

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>he and Lane Johnson and right tackle Jason Kelsey at

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 1>the center position build some chemistry, some continuity. And we

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>can't overstate Chris how important it is that Brandon Brooks

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>gets into this system and plays dominating football, which the

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Eagles expect him to do well. They need him to

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>do it. That's why they added him as a Day

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>one free agent acquisition. They want to make the offensive

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>line a strength for this football team once again. It

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>obviously struggle had its ups and downs in twenty fifteen.

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 1>For the Eagles offense to run as smoothly as Doug

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Peerson if Frank Reich want to be, they are going

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to need the offensive line to carry the way. You

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>look at Kansas, say last season with Doug Peerson, they

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>lost their best player in Jamal Charles, but thanks to

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the strong offensive line, they were able to put in

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>rotational backs like Charke, Hendrick West and Spencer were and

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>still have success on the ground and have that key

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.359
<v Speaker 1>ten game win streak to carry them through the end

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>of the regular season and into the playoffs. So Pierson

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>believes in the same Andy Raid mentality that you win

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>in the trenches. So he wants to get that refined

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>as quickly as possible today. And he also wants to

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>have a training camp that is nasty, that is physical,

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that is demanding, and he's having that. He's also very

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 1>pleased on Friday to get Brooks back along with Ryan Matthews,

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>who reported to training camp with a bum ankle. He's

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>getting better, He's okay, He's going to be ready to go,

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and Peterson talked about the return of Brooks and Matthews

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to this Eagles offense that still is searching for its identity.

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>He's good, He's good, you know again, he's another one's

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>day to day. It was good to see him and

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Ryan both out here get some individual works and group

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>install stuff and and we'll just kind of keep keep

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>progressing with both of those guys. It's valuable anytime, anytime

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you missed, especially the first part of camp when when

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't had the exposure to pads. He had to

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>get him out here and run around. And it was

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>good too, good to see him put the ball in

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 1>his hands a little bit, see how he was running around,

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and and I thought, I thought He did a nice

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>job when he was in there, and and I we'll

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>just keep giving him more and more every every day.

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Now as Matthews has been recovering from his injury, Kenyan

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Barner has stepped up and I think it's had a

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>really fine training camp, running with more quickness, with more power.

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>But clearly Matthews is the feature back here as the

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Eagles look to rotate things. Give me a realistic expectation,

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Chris from Matthews average carries per game, average carric per game,

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>that's a good one. I think you're probably looking in

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the teens, I'm gonna say for this football team in

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>two and sixteen. I mean, he was very effective with

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the ball his hands last season, but the Eagles felt

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>they had to give him Marco Murray his touches to

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>try and get him more involved in the game. But

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.919
<v Speaker 1>it seemed like every time Matthews had the ball in

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>his hands something was happening. Over five yards per carry

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>last season. He did miss a couple of games due

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to a concussion, and that's the biggest question mark with him,

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>is Kenny remained healthy through the course of the entire season.

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>He's done it in the past and having that running

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>back by committee approach behind him, having guys like Barner

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and Darren S browsing and get his touches, and you

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>figure Wendell Smallwood will factor into the mix, hopefully that

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>they'll be able to take some of the burden off

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>of Matthews so that he doesn't have to be a

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>foundation back where you're asking him for twenty to twenty

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>five touches each and every game. Yeah, he's alway been

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>healthy one year in his NFL career, a Pro Bowl

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>season with the San Diego Chargers. So that is our

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>conversation about the offense. We've got more to get to here.

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>When Inside Training Camp presented by Xfinity returns, we're going

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.040

<v Speaker 1>neuroscience hospital, look to us breakthroughs that are light years ahead.

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.239
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back at the Overcare Complex. Dave Spidarow, Chris McPherson.

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 1>It's inside Training Camp presented by Axfinity, and in block

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 1>number one, we talked about the offense and some of

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the players coming back and kind of the Eagles offense

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to find itself here early in training camp. Now

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>we want to focus on the defense and one of

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the players who's really have to make the big transition

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>from the three four to the four three Connor Barwin.

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>He was a stand up linebacker. Chris outstanding coming off

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the edge of the question is putting his hand in

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 1>the dirt getting to the quarterback. Does he have that

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>skill set? I definitely think he has a skill set,

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and he showed it very early on in his career.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>He was originally drafted by the Houston Texans as a

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>four three end, so he's actually made the conversion from

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>four to three to three four. He goes back to

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>his roots as a four three defensive end. He's got

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Gray Athlezism, tremendous length to get off the edge. Is

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>going to be a great fit for Jim Schwartz's scheme.

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>And well, he's so good at Dave. We've seen this

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 1>in the last couple of years. Is the ability to

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>get in the quarterback's face to knock down the ball,

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>to make like difficult for quarterbacks, not just from a

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>sack standpoint, but just to get the ball into the

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.079
<v Speaker 1>possible through the pass lane, so to speak. So if

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Barwin can kinto do that, I think he's gonna be

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.959
<v Speaker 1>tremendously a great fit here. The key for him and

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>for the entire defensive end group is the rotation. Make

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>sure you have the depth there. So Marcus Smith going

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>down with the concussion, he'll be out for a little

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>bit as he goes through the protocol. So it's gonna

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 1>be interesting for guys like Stephen Means, you know, guys

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>who are trying to fight Alex mccaliser to prove themselves

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>with the extra opportunity because Chris Wilson and Jim Schwartz

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:38.839
<v Speaker 1>they need the death there at the end position. Yeah,

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>So the focus here is Connor Barwin. Alex Smith sits

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 1>down with Connor Barwin talking defense under Jim Schwartz, our

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Eagles fans. I'm Alex Smith back here at the Novacare

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Complex and I'm very pleased to be joined today by

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Eagles defensive end Connor Barwin. Connor, first of all, thanks

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 1>for coming on. Fourth training camp for you here with

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles already, I'm sure this one feels a little

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>bit different. New coaching, I have new people inside the building.

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>What's been the biggest difference from your perspective? The biggest difference, Alex,

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is probably the amount of time in between snaps. Obviously,

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>with Chip it was just about getting as many plays

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>ran during practice as we could. Now with Doug, it's

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>about running as many kind of high quality plays as

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>we can and getting them right defensively and getting them

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>right on offense. And what does that do for you

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>as a player? Instead of waiting to see when the

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 1>film comes out, you get to be you know, things

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>get corrected right away. Well, you know, you still go

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>into the film room and correct things. But I think

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>it's it's more it carries over more to what happens

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>in the game. You know, you run a play, and

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>then you get a little bit of a break, then

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you run a play. Now, obviously if we play San Francisco,

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>it'll be a little bit different, but for right now,

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the NFL runs a play, have a break,

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and then run your best play. So we're just trying

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to put our best effort, our best technique forward every

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>single rep we get out here. We're also seeing some

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>of the live tackling periods which we haven't seen around

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.439
<v Speaker 1>here last couple of years. How much does that make

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>a difference for you to get that in early in camp,

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to get that physicality kind of amped up a little bit. Well,

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, at this point a lot of

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>us know how to tackle, obviously, but it's fun to

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>sprinkle in some live tackle drills just because it kind

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>of builds up some energy. Obviously, you know, it increases

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the competition level and kind of gets everybody excited when

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>you kind of throw those in a couple periods during practice,

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's fun. Does the trash talking kind of go

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>up to with those Well, everybody, everybody just gets on

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>high alert. You know when it's when it's live tackling.

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>That's when when the bullets are flying and you better

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>be ready to play. Let's talk about this defensive scheme

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit. Obviously we've talked a lot about

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the attack mentality of it, but Jim Schwartz also has

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>said that he doesn't like to blitz too much. He

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>likes to rely on the front four to get pressure.

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>What does it mean to have your coach kind of

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>put that faith in the d line to get pressure

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>on the quarterback? Well, you love it. I mean, you

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>know he he depends on us four to get pressure.

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Every once in a while. He wants to blitz a

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but again, like you said, he wants to

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>get pressure there with the top four guys. He's gonna

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.719
<v Speaker 1>rotate us up front to make sure we're fresh all

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>game long, and it's on us to help the dbs,

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and get teams off the field. As you

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>make that transition back to defensive end. You've talked about

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>how it's more of a natural position for you. But

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>what's one thing that you're maybe working on as you

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>transition back to that spot. Well, I think the one

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>thing is there's some movement coming out of a three

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>point stance that I'm working on. I mean, when I

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>would get into a three point stance last year or

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of years, it's usually on nickel and

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm rushing off the rushing off the edge. Now maybe

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 1>on first second down, I'm on the edge a lot.

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>But sometimes you gotta slant in, you gotta angle down

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>two gaps. So I think working on that movement in

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.319
<v Speaker 1>those steps out of a three point stance is something

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm working on right now. And we hear a lot

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>about the wide nine technique for fans who maybe aren't

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>aware of what that means. What does that mean to

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you to set up as like wide nine. Well, you know,

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>we don't even really talk about it that much. I

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard people really say wide nine that much. But

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.439
<v Speaker 1>we get in a nine technique. We don't want to

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>get too wide, but we're really our job is to

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 1>just crush that tight end, you know, and not even

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>really pretend he's there, just kind of run through him

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.199
<v Speaker 1>and set the edge right through him. My final question

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>here for you, Connor, this defensive line with yourself, Fletcher, Benny, Brandon, Vinnie.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a really talented group. What do

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you think the ceiling is for this defensive line? Well,

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it's a good group. Again, like

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I said, you know, there's gonna be six to eight

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>of us that are playing in rotating all game long,

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's gonna make all of us better. You know,

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where our ceiling is yet, but I know,

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, our goals is to be one of the

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, a disruptive group and be one of the

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>most effective groups in the league. Eagles Defense, Van Connor, Barwin,

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you very much for your time. Thank you, and

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>thank you all for joining us right here on Philadelphia

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Eagles dot Com. Can't stated enough just how important it

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 1>is for the Eagles to generate the pass rush pressure.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>We heard from Jim Schwartz yesterday. He wants the four

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>man pass rush to get to the quarterback and not

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>sacrifice coverage with the blitz. As the Eagles continue their

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>work in progress on the defensive side. More to come

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>as we get through to our third block on inside

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>training camp, presented by ex Affinity Dave and Chris will

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>be right back in just a moment. Growing up, we

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>had a basketball hoop in our driveway and that's all

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I used to play with. This past August, I happened

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>to notice the bump on my foot, so my parents

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and I decided that we would go to Rothman at Jefferson.

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 1>We found out from a biopsy that I had an

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 1>osteosarcoma cancer. Scary, but the Rothman doctors felt so confident

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 1>in what they were going to do, and it couldn't

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>have turned out any better. The Rothman Institute Jefferson was

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>able to get me back on the court and back

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to where I wanted to be. Love me tender, love

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>me sweet. The stronger the love let me good. The

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 1>greater the responsibility. But you don't have to do it alone.

<v Speaker 1>begins again. Yes, indeed, so we'll go a little throwback

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>from what you just saw a few moments ago. The

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.080

<v Speaker 1>that live online here on Philadelphiagles dot Com as well

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>as our mobile app. He'll give us a state of

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the offense, let us know how the quarterbacks are progressing,

0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and what is he seeing out the offensive line and

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 1>the running back positions with Brandon Brooks coming back in

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Matthews as well. In terms of our Eagle in Focus,

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.919
<v Speaker 1>one of the big free agent acquisitions who may have

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, might be a home run threat so to

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.440
<v Speaker 1>speak for the offense this year. Wide receiver Chris Gibbons,

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>he wants to be known as a thoroughbread said that

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 1>on the sidelines are in practice. He said, if you

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>if you gotta take a picture of me out here

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.680
<v Speaker 1>on the field, if you're gonna caption it, make sure

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you'll tell everyone. Now, I'm a thoroughbread so but Greg

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.919
<v Speaker 1>Lewi has been working on making a better underneath and

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>over the middle receiver so that he kind of can

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 1>throw defenses. Of course, we all know the wide receivers

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>are big in focus and again next Thursday, the Eagles

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>take on Tampa Bay preseason opener at Lincoln Financial Field.

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.199
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you tune in seven o'clock. We have our

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>kickoff show here at six thirty on Philadelphia Eagles dot

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Com and our digital network. So the Eagles get into

0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>game action in less than a week. Should be fun.

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Frank Reich gave me the great line

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:05.239
<v Speaker 1>today talking about the message from Doug Peterson that he

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>continues to tell his players fear nothing and attack everything.

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of the mantra for this football team this season.

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.119
<v Speaker 1>I'd like it. Let's get after all right for Christma Pherson,

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Dave Spidero, thanks for joining us, have yourselves a great

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Eagles Day.
