Speaker 1: It's the star of another work week, but we've got
Speaker 1: you covered with this edition of Inside Training Camp, presented
Speaker 1: by Exciting I'm your host Chris McPherson. And while the
Speaker 1: Eagles players are off on Monday, we've got a lot
Speaker 1: to recap from the first weekend of full squad practices.
Speaker 1: We'll have highlights from the Majestic Military Appreciation Day at
Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field, the fans first chance to see the
Speaker 1: team in action in the twenty seventeen season. We'll also
Speaker 1: meet a mammoth of a man in guard, Chance Warmack.
Speaker 1: But first on today's show, two of the members of
Speaker 1: the Eagles broadcast team that will bring you the preseason games,
Speaker 1: Dave spar and Mike Mayock, had a chance to chat
Speaker 1: about some of the players they've seen thus far in camp,
Speaker 1: and there's one rookie who's caught Mayock's eye. We welcome
Speaker 1: you to Eagles Training Camp twenty seventeen here at the
Speaker 1: Novicare Complex, Eagles insider Dave Spidero, along with Mike Mayock,
Speaker 1: NFL Network, and of course the color analyst in our
Speaker 1: preseason broadcasts, which Mike are well rid around the corner
Speaker 1: and believe it, no I really can't. I mean four
Speaker 1: consecutive Thursday nights, and I think the highlight for me
Speaker 1: for the for the entire training camp will be Week three,
Speaker 1: not just because the starters play, but because they're going
Speaker 1: to be practicing with the Dolphins Monday and Tuesday, which
Speaker 1: is a great week to really get a feel for
Speaker 1: both the veterans and the rookies with three days of
Speaker 1: intense competition, and then we can overreact like we did
Speaker 1: two years ago. Braden. Listen, Mike, It's it's great times
Speaker 1: here in Philadelphia. Second year of Doug Peterson, second year
Speaker 1: of Carson Wentz, a lot of new faces out here.
Speaker 1: How do you think the Eagles did in the offseason.
Speaker 1: I thought they had a great offseason. You talk about
Speaker 1: what they've done just in the last two years, and
Speaker 1: getting Carson Wentz in the building, and what it took
Speaker 1: to get Carson Wentz in the building, the ability to
Speaker 1: then spend Sam Bradford and pick up a first round
Speaker 1: pick that you lost when you trade it up. Some
Speaker 1: of the moves they made in the offseason. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you the draft itself. Love pump Free. Interesting, why I'm
Speaker 1: starting to love him. I just can't imagine a one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pound kid in the NFL. But
Speaker 1: then I see that he doesn't drop any passage. He's
Speaker 1: got incredible quickness. He had almost twelve hundred touches for
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five pound running back at San
Speaker 1: Diego State. So think about it. It's not just his
Speaker 1: quickness or his explosion or his ability to catch, his durability.
Speaker 1: He didn't miss a game basically for four years. He
Speaker 1: touched the ball, as I said, three to four hundred
Speaker 1: times a year and didn't get hurt. So you're not
Speaker 1: only talking about hey can catch the ball out of the
Speaker 1: the backfield to line him up in the slot, but
Speaker 1: you're talking about toughness. And when you add him all
Speaker 1: up to me, he's intriguing. Do you see him in
Speaker 1: the Tyreek Hill kind of role with this? What role?
Speaker 1: Do you see him in a move kind of player?
Speaker 1: He's Tyreek Hill is faster, straight line, I mean Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hills four three all day long. Pumphrey's quicker, you know,
Speaker 1: quicker than fast sometimes. And I think the role that
Speaker 1: I would see with him offensively is he's a chess piece.
Speaker 1: And I think what Doug Peterson and Frank Reich are
Speaker 1: gonna love is that all of a sudden, you've got Sprowls,
Speaker 1: You've got this kid, You've got you can change the
Speaker 1: pace and go with le Garett Blunt talking about offseason moves.
Speaker 1: So I think, all of a sudden, if I'm a
Speaker 1: safety or a linebacker and I see Sprowls and Pumphrey
Speaker 1: in the huddle, I'm going on though, because I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're both lining on the backfield both why
Speaker 1: one each? It's it's it's a great Jess piece. Is
Speaker 1: Deegle's offense ahead of the defense? Now do you get
Speaker 1: do you have a feel for who might be more
Speaker 1: advanced at this stage? I don't know which unit's gonna
Speaker 1: end up being the better unit. What I do know
Speaker 1: is they both got better and that's what's important. And
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about Carson Wentz all the time,
Speaker 1: but last year he didn't have anybody to throw the
Speaker 1: ball to. Watching seventeen runaround, yeah, that's pretty cool. All
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey catches everything. That's a game changer. Zach Ertz, Burton, Pumfrey, Sprowles,
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Tory Smith, you've got a different
Speaker 1: looking offense out there, and defensively, I think the front
Speaker 1: seven will compete with anybody. The issue is on the
Speaker 1: back end at the corner basin. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: what are your concerns for this football team? It's the
Speaker 1: corner position, and in all conversations for this team are
Speaker 1: going to come back to that. You got ten guys
Speaker 1: that have been signed within the last fifteen months. They
Speaker 1: don't have anybody that's a veteran outside Patrick Robinson and
Speaker 1: Jalen Mills. Is the only guy's even started a game
Speaker 1: as an Eagle corner? Yeah, yeah, Well you learn on
Speaker 1: the job, dude. There's a lot of learning to do
Speaker 1: at corner. How do you cover it up? If you're
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz. Jimmy's a great coach and his philosophy he's
Speaker 1: four down, We're gonna rush with four We're gonna protect
Speaker 1: the back end a little bit. And I think when
Speaker 1: the four down rush is so good. The addition of
Speaker 1: Journegan again another offseason move, Derek Barnett, the first round
Speaker 1: pick Chris Long, They're really gonna be good upfront. How
Speaker 1: good is the Seagull's offensive line, Mike, in your opinion,
Speaker 1: we see a lot of raves about the old line.
Speaker 1: Isn't that good? It's really good. And obviously Lane Johnson
Speaker 1: has to play sixteen games, which he hasn't done often.
Speaker 1: Jason Peters has to play like he did a year ago.
Speaker 1: Sayamalo has to step up. But there's some depth now
Speaker 1: Chance Warmack. You know, I think he's pretty interesting with Newski,
Speaker 1: you know, as a backup, all of a sudden, there's
Speaker 1: seven or eight guys, and I think that's it's not
Speaker 1: just your starting five, it's how good are you seven
Speaker 1: or eight deep? And I think the Eagles are pretty good. Mike,
Speaker 1: what is your theme for the preseason? What do you
Speaker 1: want to see from this football team? Just I'm the
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick school. I don't worry about how many wins
Speaker 1: at the end of the season or the end of
Speaker 1: the preseason. I want to see this team get better
Speaker 1: every practice, every snap, and carry all the way through
Speaker 1: the season. And if you do that, winds take care
Speaker 1: of themselves. Mike Mayock, thanks so much. Played seeing you
Speaker 1: and we'll see you August tenth, Eagles at the Packers
Speaker 1: lambeau Field the preseason opener just around the corner. Thanks
Speaker 1: for joining us at Alabama. Chance Warmack was a part
Speaker 1: of not one, not two, but three national championship teams.
Speaker 1: In fact, Warmack's offensive line is considered one of the
Speaker 1: greatest in college football history, and it was coached by
Speaker 1: Jeff Stalin. Warmack was a top ten selection of the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and started forty eight games in his career.
Speaker 1: He signed with the Eagles this offseason and is trying
Speaker 1: to rejuvenate his career once again. Coached by Jeff Stalin,
Speaker 1: Warmack is a subject of our Eagle and focus. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to think the Eagles organization of having me here.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a great opportunity. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: happy to be here, happy to be in Philadelphia. I
Speaker 1: know so much about the city, great history here, great fans,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm just I'm just exciting. The ready
Speaker 1: to go. Chance Warmack offense from guard coach out Man
Speaker 1: was this influential for me for a long time, since
Speaker 1: I was a play in college. He knows how to
Speaker 1: get it out of you as a player going to
Speaker 1: the next team. I really take that into consideration just
Speaker 1: because I know what he can do for me in
Speaker 1: times of my skill set and how I can play
Speaker 1: on his team and running this scheme a chance and
Speaker 1: now he had a lot of success together in the past.
Speaker 1: I know Chance like the back of my hand, and
Speaker 1: I know where to start. I know where his ordabilities are,
Speaker 1: and I know where he needs to do. I'm excited
Speaker 1: about getting back with. What I'm hoping to learn from
Speaker 1: the other guys is basically just their experiences. You learn
Speaker 1: from experience as the best teacher. I always saying, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of older guys on the group. Anything
Speaker 1: new that I've ever seen on the field, whether it
Speaker 1: be a new front or new player that I'm not
Speaker 1: familiar with, I'm always asking men as the questions and
Speaker 1: just trying to get better. As a football player, you
Speaker 1: want to be the best at everything that you inspire
Speaker 1: to be the best of everything. So just working on
Speaker 1: the little tip bits of everything to play. Taking meat,
Speaker 1: the cars, its hand signals everything well. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: bring to the Egels organization. It is just my explosive mens,
Speaker 1: my toughness. You know, I love contact and just being efficient.
Speaker 1: I want to be as efficient as possible. Every play passed,
Speaker 1: ryn play action, any type of player that's being thrown
Speaker 1: at me, I'm trying to be efficient at it, playing
Speaker 1: this year in philadel and I want to prove that
Speaker 1: I'm a good player. You know, I'm a great player.
Speaker 1: I know that personally within myself. But I've always had
Speaker 1: to prove others, you know, about my capabilities ever since
Speaker 1: high schools, on the college and even in the league.
Speaker 1: So there's nothing new for me, you know. I just
Speaker 1: keep plugging at and keep chopping the wood and succeeding
Speaker 1: what I want to get. If you weren't at the
Speaker 1: open practice on Sunday, we'll forgive you. Just stay tuned
Speaker 1: as we'll have some of the highlights right after the break.
Speaker 1: I've been an athlete for as long as I can remember.
Speaker 1: In the summer, I was taking long ride and when
Speaker 1: I looked up, a tree had fallen across the shoulder
Speaker 1: of the road. And when I came to, I couldn't
Speaker 1: feel anything below my neck, and I thought my life
Speaker 1: had changed forever. I was hell of act to Jefferson
Speaker 1: Hospital and the Rothman doctors did an emergency procedure and
