WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: Pads Are On 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:30.920 Hello everyone, and welcome to Inside Training Camp, presented by 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.720 Exfinity Eagles insider Dave's Federo along with Chris McPherson. What 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.120 a day it was at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.440 with their first of two open practices and the fans 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.320 came saw and had a great time watching the Eagles 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.000 in full pads for the first time during this training 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.960 camp period. Yes, after all the moves after this offseason, 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.800 finally the fans had their first glimpse and it was 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.720 also you could say, a Hall of Fame edition here 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.200 at Alumni Day as the Eagles honored the four were 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.600 legends who once graced the field and announced that they're 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.319 inducting two former greats into the team's Hall of Fame. 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.240 We'll get you caught up with everything going on. There's 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.200 a lot happening with the football team circa twenty and fifteen, 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.040 and of course a lot happening with a tribute to 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.080 the past. Let's go to Alex Smith for our Eagles 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.280 three sixty update. Hi everyone, Alex Smith here with your 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.440 three sixty update, presented by Sports Authority. The sun is 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.000 shining here on Lincoln Financial Field as the Eagles host 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.560 their first of two open training camp practices. Today, head 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.440 coach Chip Kelly kicked things off by talking about yesterday's 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:37.039 injury to outside linebacker Travis Long, who sustained his third 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.160 ACL tear in three years. Today, chip Kelly talked about 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.400 what the outside linebackers group can now expect Without Long. 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.600 We're in a punt return drill and he literally it 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.520 wasn't really a contact drill. He was just getting fed 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.800 up and kind of stepped the wrong way. And I 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.040 think he knew it when had happened, just because it's 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.920 happened to him before, and and I don't think there's 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.800 a real explanation for it, to be honest with you 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:02.840 just feel awful because we've watched him through the whole process. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.880 He's been here the whole time, you watched him rehab. 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:06.920 I think all the players felt the same way because 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.800 they know how much he's got invested in this and 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.040 it's you know, as I when I talked to him 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.400 and you know, on the field, and then when we 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:14.959 got the final answer last night in terms of what 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.840 it was is, you really can't put it into words 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.760 in terms of what it is. Another note that Chip 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.480 Kelly touched upon today was DeMarco Murray not taking any 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.320 team reps on Sunday, and according to Kelly, that had 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.760 to do with a hydration issue that the team sports 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.839 science department noticed before practice. That was our decision. There's 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.320 a we do have a hydration status test and he 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.280 was a little bit high, and obviously, when you see 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.160 guys that are high from a hydration standpoint thing, you 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.640 kind of pull them back a little bit because that's 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.520 when they're susceptible for an injury. So that was a 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.040 training staff coaching decision. And sticking on the topic of 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.320 sports science today, Kelly mentioned that offensive tackle Jason Peters 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.280 is in the best shape that Kelly has seen him 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.640 in three years, and that goes hand in hand with 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.040 the team sports science program, and he came in in 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.760 the best shape he's come in in his career. You know, 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.560 he's at the best way when you talk to him, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.239 I think he feels the best. He's worked extremely hard 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.400 on the strength and conditioning aspects, taking care of his body. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.240 I think, which as you start to get older in 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.079 this league, you know, that's the key to a lot 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.880 of it is. You know, sometimes when you're twenty one, 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.200 twenty two, you can do whatever you want, and you 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.640 don't have to get as much sleep, and you can 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:14.960 do all those things. But as you start to get 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.040 a little bit older, you really got to be conscious 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.200 of everything you're doing. And JP's been great with that, 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.160 and I think he's in the best shape coming into 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.360 camp as he's been this being year three, better than 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.000 year one and better than year two. So we're excited 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.000 to see where he goes. Going back to the Eagles 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.480 outside linebacker situation, we were able to catch up with 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.680 Connor Barwin after today's practice and Barwin spoke about the 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.240 extra work that he's been putting in with Marcus Smith. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.840 I mean, I've kind of always done that, and I've 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.160 just kind of made sure that he knows that he 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:43.520 should be doing that with me, and it's just a 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.200 little bit of extra work so you feel like you can, 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.520 you know, gain on people that aren't doing that, and 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.480 it's just kind of slows things down a little bit, 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.800 really kind of hone in on some of the technique 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.120 because Russian the pastor is not something you can really 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.960 work on that much because it's hard to replicate. So 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.120 you know, I think taking ten minutes to kind of 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.040 slow it down and just come. The technique part of 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.080 it can help you. For most fans, today was their 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.000 first look at the two thousand and fifteen roster in action, 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:08.960 and it was also the first look that some of 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.600 the new acquisitions had on the fans. We caught up 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.360 with Byron Maxwell, who spoke about what he saw from 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.880 today's audience. It was crazy, but yeah, it was different, 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.480 of course, you know, you know, we walked out. It 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.560 wasn't good. We didn't you know, we didn't like what 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.839 we did when we come here about hope that we 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.039 would do that to a lot more teams here. Last, 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.520 but certainly not least, The Eagles announced that two new 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.680 members will be joining the franchises Hall of Fame on 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.760 October nineteenth, as running back Brian Westbrook and linebacker Maxie 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.840 Bonn will join the team's Hall of Fame. Westbrook spoke 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.039 at a press conference today about what his career with 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.880 the Eagles meant to him. I think you have a 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.039 good idea of what you've done, but I also think 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.200 that as time continues, you get a better sense of 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.640 how special winning all those games that we won. You know, 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.559 even before I got here a couple of years before 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.040 the span between two thousand and two, thousand and eight 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.440 or nine, two ten, we were able to win an 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.880 awful lot of games. And so when when your team 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:04.680 doesn't do as well, they haven't made it to the 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.520 playoffs and won games like that, it makes it, you know, 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.920 what you did in the pass a little bit more special. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.960 It's a hard feat. You know. We had a really 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.800 good football team and we had guys around me that 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.360 that were great. But at the same time, it's hard 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.479 to do. We did, and I think for us in 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.280 the city, we kind of take it for granted just 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.080 a bit, and we didn't realize how important and how 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.919 easy I mean not not easy, how hard it is 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.640 to get to that point. And now I think because 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.440 of the winning, we haven't won as many playoff games, 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.000 of course as we are expected to. Um, you know it. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.680 Now you can see a little bit better how special 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.839 that team was. And for continuing coverage on Eagles training 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.880 camp as well as all the latest infut that you 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.680 need on the two newest Eagles Hall of Famers, be 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.240 sure to keep it right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com. Well, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.800 thank you very much, Alex. One of the themes for 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.679 us today, Chris will be the linebacker positions outside and inside. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.440 The Travis Long injury, certainly things a little muddled in 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.520 terms of depth outside. Certainly Travis Long was in the 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.920 competition along with Marcus Smith for that third outside linebacker role. 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:09.960 Tough break to see a key to works so hard 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.720 to come back from last year's Asail injury to suffer 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.280 it once again almost exactly a year later. Marcus Smith, 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.880 last year's first round pick. He has all the tools 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.039 in the world, he said last year he was just 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.800 thinking too much on the field. Now he has to 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.039 put it all together. He has to make that proverbial 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.960 jump from year one to year two. But the question, 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.160 as you mentioned, Dave, the depth behind that. If you 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.480 say Marcus Smith is your number three, who becomes your 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.080 number four? Is it? Brian bram We a long way 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.800 to go in training camp. Nothing has decided. Good competition 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.080 behind Connor Barwin and Brandon Graham. More to get too 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.560 when Eagles return. When we return here to Inside Training 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.480 Camp presented by Exfinity, We're going to talk a lot 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.279 about the linebackers, a lot about alumni Day, a lot 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.240 about the day at Lincoln Financial Field, and we take 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.760 a look ahead the Dallas Cowboys the home opener in 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.839 the regular season, and we'll go behind enemy lines when 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:09.200 we return.

Dave Spedero, Chris McPherson. It's Inside 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.160 Training Camp presented by Xfinity, and we're talking linebackers. We 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.520 mentioned it in the previous segment. Chris about Marcus Smith. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.400 Let's talk about what he needs to do to stake 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.720 his claiming to earn the coaches trust. Talented guy long 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.800 Arms looks for the part, but didn't contribute at all 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.480 as a rookie now, and you know, it's tough for 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:11.960 passwords or I think a lot of times to make 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.679 that jump from college to the NFL. Now, he was 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.080 a Conference defensive Player of the Year. He played in 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.960 a three or four scheme. So he did everything that 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.960 the Eagles are going to ask of him to do 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.120 at this level. But again, the learning care is a 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.480 little too big for him that first year. You did 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.920 see some other rookies guys like Jordan Matthews make the 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.520 ins and jump, but from that outside linebacker spot, where 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.679 you have to set the edge against a run, drop 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.160 back and coverage get after the quarterback, it can be 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.120 a lot more difficult. You don't always see rookies do 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.320 well in that first year. That's why I think a 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.480 lot of people on the outside were very difficult and 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.959 criticize him. Although you were expecting to see more than 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.040 seventy snaps from him on defense last season, I still 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.880 think there's a lot of promise there. It seems like 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.280 he took the right attitude this offseason. Yeah, now you 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.160 get to diet. Yeah, you know, as stronger, got stronger, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.240 and we'll see what we're gonna find out in the 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.679 course of not only training camp, but the preseason. Brad 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.040 Jones also taking reps on the outside. So the Eagles 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.400 do have some options and they will keep their eyes 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.360 open for a replacement. They're always looking for depth, and 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.760 they knew coming into training camp that behind Connor Barwin 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.640 and Brandon Graham, a lot of question marks about the 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.679 depth on the edge of this remade Eagles defense. Chris Now, 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.680 it's time to kind of look ahead here. When the 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.000 Eagles get into September and start fighting for the NFC East, 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.559 the team to beat in the division. Let's face it, everybody, 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.520 I hate to say the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, indeed the 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.040 home opener against those hated Dallas Cowboys. And after the 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.120 break we're gonna go behind enemy lines and talk with 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.680 Brad Sham, the voice of the Dallas Cowboys.

Up Behind 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:39.199 Enemy Lines. That's Bradsham, the voice of the Dallas Cowboys. Now, Brad. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.760 The Cowboys may clear that they valued Dez Bryant over 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.640 DeMarco Murray this past offseason in free agency. So how 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.280 important was it that they got the long term deal 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:53.760 done before the start of training camp? You know, well, 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:58.000 it was important. I think it's a little misleading to 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:02.439 say that they made it clear that they valued des 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.800 over DeMarco. It's an easy conclusion to reach since they 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:10.120 didn't sign DeMarco obviously, and they did sign Dez. I 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.920 think they've valued them both. I think the question was 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.600 which one. In fact, I know they valued them both 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.240 a great deal. The question is which one made more 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:24.120 fiscal sense down the road in a big contract. And 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:28.320 I think you'd find almost anyone in the NFL would 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.600 tell you that a running back three years what DeMarco 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.480 will be three years from now, that that's going to 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.160 be a little more problematic in a salary cap world 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.360 than a wide receiver. It's not right to say that 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.719 they didn't value DeMarco Murray in twenty fifteen or even 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.920 twenty sixteen. They haven't said all that, you know. In 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:57.760 my mind, this is just me because Dez claims that 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.600 he was ready to sit out game, and I think 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.360 you have to take any person at their word. But 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.520 that didn't make a lot of sense because today, as 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.960 you well know, once you get if you're franchise, once 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:17.319 you get past the deadline, there's no negotiating it. So 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.680 if you talk about missing games under the franchise tag 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.520 as a wide receiver in twenty fifteen, you're just talking 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.680 about putting a match to three quarters of a million 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.360 dollars a game, Well, that doesn't make any sense. You 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:33.600 never get that money back. Plus does really really loves 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.920 to play. I mean, all football players like to play, 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.160 but it's in Dez's DNA, So I never thought he 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.480 was going to miss any games. I thought the biggest 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.280 part of the deal from their standpoint, was just not 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.960 having to have that cloud hanging over him going to 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.200 training camp. He'll be enthused, he's all fired up, and 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.920 his teammates don't have to answer questions about what do 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.640 you think des is doing? When do you think Doz's 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.800 attitude will be like when he gets back? And that's 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.280 that's a positive. So, Brad, what is the fallout from 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.040 the running back standpoint? You know, obviously they're not gonna 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.000 have DeMarco Murray. They do have Joseph Randall coming back. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.520 They signed Darren McFadden this offseason. How do you think 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.200 they're going to be able to sustain the running game 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:18.040 without last year's league's rushing champion. It is clearly the 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:23.480 most asked question about their camp, with obvious good reason, 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.120 and the most unanswerable because the answer can't come until 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.720 the end of the year. The short answer is that 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.320 they're gonna I think use a committee. Now someone might 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:41.040 step forward. We don't know, but likelihood is right now 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.760 they have the two guys you mentioned, and they have 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.880 lands Dunbar. They've got late a strong too. I don't 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.200 know if he'll make the team or not. So we'll 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.520 see who might be able to. I don't know if 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.680 they'll pick up anybody else. I don't think they will, 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.400 but you never know. But you know, the key is 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:04.760 not in replacing DeMarco Murray's production, because that's not going 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:09.720 to happen. And I don't know. This is the other imponderable. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:16.960 If DeMarco were here, the likelihood based on no evaluation 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:21.240 of DeMarco Murray, based on all of the research in 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.680 NFL history on running backs. If DeMarco were still here, 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.480 the likelihood is that it would have been difficult for 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:35.200 him to duplicate that production. Now, he might be the exception. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.920 He might very well be the exception. But what they 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:41.800 have to do is run the ball. It doesn't They 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:43.600 don't have to have one guy get eighty percent of 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.800 their carries in eighteen hundred yards and they don't have 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:48.880 to have that. What they have to do is run 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.040 the ball. They have to they have to commit to 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.320 the running game the way they did last year, and 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.720 they have to run it enough to be able to 0:16:56.080 --> 0:17:01.040 run their offense and dictate the style of play. I 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.479 don't I don't know that that translates into specific numbers, right, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.520 It would like one quick look at the defense here. 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.280 It performed better than I think most people expected last season. 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.160 This offseason, they signed Greg Hardy, they drafted Randy Gregory, 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.600 some Boomer bust type prospects, if you will. Are you 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.280 surprised at all that they took that approach after the 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.720 success that they had last season? You know, I'm not surprised. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.119 And here's why, those of us who sat there in 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:32.040 Green Bay in January and watched them not be able 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:35.600 to run down a one legged man. I mean, Aaron 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.480 Rodgers is arguably the best quarterback in football. That he 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.720 was on one leg that day and they couldn't get 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.879 anywhere near him. And if they'd had any kind of 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.399 even with the catch or the non catch or whatever, 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.760 they I mean, they're Look, they're in the conversation. I 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.239 don't know how good they are. I don't know if 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:53.960 they're better than the Eagles. I don't know if they'll 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.000 win the East. I don't know if they'll make the playoffs. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:00.480 But there, but they're certainly in a conversation. And when 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.159 you get close and you have veteran players and the 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:09.080 windows closing and you see a glaring weakness, you got 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.520 to go address it. So look, there's a lot of 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.080 conversation and a lot of controversy about the signing of Hearty, 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.480 but just from a football standpoint, they're not going to 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:24.639 have him for four games. But now now Gregory's a 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.919 different guy. That's the evaluation of Gregory and whatever his 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.080 issues were off the field in college should be completely 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.640 separated from Hardy's. Two different things. Gregory is a guy 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.760 who's got a pretty good future, at least a bright 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:45.200 one as a football prospect. Hardy, just in football terms, 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.199 should be able to help after the first four games. 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.520 They're also gonna miss Rolando McLain for the first four games, 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.400 and he's a little different guy. Their defense looks better 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.200 than last year. Going at this time last year, most 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.080 of us down here thought they might win four or 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:03.920 five games if they were lucky, because we thought the 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.600 defense was going to be horrific and it wasn't horrific. 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.480 It was just average or a little below average. So 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.800 now they got to try to get up to a 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.359 little above average and keep the offense going. If they 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.080 can do that, then they'll elevate themselves. In that conversation, 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.040 as you mentioned there, Brad McLean and Hardy will miss 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.760 the Eagles home opener Week two against the Dallas Cowboys.

I'm loving it. We welcome you back, 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:34.600 Dave Spidero, Chris McPherson. Here it's inside Training Camp presented 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.560 by Exfinity and linebacker is a huge theme here and 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.480 it was a huge theme for the Eagles in the offseason. 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.919 Chris the Big Trade, Lashawn McCoy goes to Buffalo, the 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:47.520 Eagles get back Kiko Alonzo. Your initial reaction, well, surprise, 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.919 obviously to see Lashawn McCoy go Now, you saw his 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:52.600 role to crease out the course of the year, but 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.119 you also understood that Eagles had to get better, had 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.800 to get more depth of an inside linebacker position. Michael 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.680 Kendrick's vis four games last year. Demiko Ryans missed the 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.280 second half of last season. Naji Good, a player was 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.639 starting potential, pretty much missed the entire season. So the 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:09.040 Eagles realized they had to get stronger at the insight 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.119 linebacker position, and they think they did that by acquiring 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:16.960 Kiko Alonso from the Buffalo Bills. Former Oregon duck outstanding 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.240 as a rookie, miss last year with an injury. How 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.359
