WEBVTT - 360 Update: Adding Tulloch

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Hi everyone, I'm Alex Smith with your three sixty update

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>The Eagle for back at practice here at the Novacare

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Complex as they get set for Saturday's matchup with the

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis Colts. Today we heard from head coach Doug Peterson,

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>who confirmed the addition of veteran linebacker Steven Tullock, and

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>according to Peterson, Tullok's familiarity with Jim Schwartz will only

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>help this defense moving forward. Obviously he's familiar with with

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Coach Schwartz's defense. Um, at the same time, he's coming

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>in to compete for that linebacker spot there in the middle,

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 1>and it's just unfortunate with the loss of you know,

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>with Joe right now, we just need depth to fill

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>that spot. So, um, we just got to see where

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>he's at, what is what is uh, what his health

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 1>is when he gets here, you know, physical, all that

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff that we do with players and uh and then

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and then slowly work him in. So the big question

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>now is where exactly does Tullock fit into this scheme.

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Will he be a reserve at inside linebacker or could

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>he perhaps move to one of the two outside linebacking spots.

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.039
<v Speaker 1>We caught up with linebacker Jordan Hicks inside the locker

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>room to get his thoughts on where Tulluck might fit.

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited. I think I want this team to be

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>as good as we possibly can, and I think adding,

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, another veteran presence and another linebacker to our

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>core and having that type of depth and being able

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>to move around and have another aspect to it will

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>help a lot. Another big question with the Eagles linebacking

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>corps revolves around Michael Kendricks, who has had to miss

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>some time, including the last two preseason games while he's

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>dealing with the hamstring injury. We caught up with Kendricks

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>today to discuss how he's feeling heading into the third

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>preseason game. Yeah, it's a game of football, man. Everyone's

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>injured out there, everyone's hurt. It's just a matter of

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>getting out there and and just being fortunate enough to

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>stay healthy. It seems like every year I got something wrong,

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>but that's just the nature of the game and someone

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>who's experienced it, it's just something that you deal with.

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>You you work through, and you keep keep chugging on.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>It is preseason, but I do want to the competitor.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Enemy wants to be out there. I mean, is there

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>a you know, emphasis on this game. But I want

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to be out there, you know, so we'll see. So

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 1>while we wait and see whether or not Kendricks will

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>be full go heading into Saturday night, one other injury

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>update here from the Novacare Complex. Kicker Caleb Surgis, who

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>suffered a concussion during warmups of the Pittsburgh game, says

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>he has been cleared and is feeling comfortable heading into

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night's game. For complete Eagles coverage, stay right here
