WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: July 27

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>A bit of a transition day here at an Ovidcare complex.

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone, and welcome to Inside training Camp presented by Xfinity.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm Eagles in Sidurday Spinner along with Chris McPherson and

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles have completed three days of practice, mostly rookies,

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a few veterans. Those veterans including Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel, Nolan, Carol.

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.239
<v Speaker 1>They had the day off on Wednesday and Chris the

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>final day for the rookie class and a lot of

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>hopefuls to make that impression they get the coaches thinking

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>that they deserve some more playing times. Certainly, the rookies

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>have enjoyed the last couple of days of a chance

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>to show the coaches whether or not they deserve more

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>playing time moving forward. The veterans report today Wednesday. The

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>first full team practice will be Thursday afternoon after a

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.399
<v Speaker 1>conditioning test in the morning, and the veterans, most of

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>them the starters, are going to dominate the reps from

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>here on out. So those hopefuls who want to make

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the final fifty three man roster hopefully with us, a

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>couple of days have shown to the coaches whether or

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>not they should be able to crack in there and

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:25.559
<v Speaker 1>be able to get some extra time on the field

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.559
<v Speaker 1>during practice. So a ten ten ten practice on Thursday afternoon,

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>the team on the practice field Friday morning, and then

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday the pads go on, the tempo gets ratcheted up,

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and there will be some tackling, something we haven't seen

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.960
<v Speaker 1>here in Eagles training camp since the Andy Reid era.

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Now the Eagles making some news. Nigel Browden, Eagles linebacker

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>arrested in Miami. It's a topic that head coach Doug

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Peterson addressed when he met the media on Wednesday. Well,

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't speculate. It's an ongoing investigation, just like Nelson's

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>situation a few weeks back. I did have a great

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>conversation with him last night, laid out my expectations for him.

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, again, those are private conversations. I'm not gonna

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>get into a bunch of detail on that. But he's obviously,

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, humbled by it, and he understands, you know,

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the situation, the magnitude. But you know, until we get

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>further details from the authorities, I can't I can't speculate

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>any further. Radham reported on Wednesday he'll be on the

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>field on Thursday, and he's expected to play a huge

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>part in this Eagles defense as a strong side linebacker. Now,

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Chris who stood out for these three days of practice

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>really hard to tell without pads, right, certainly, Yeah, if

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you look at the quarterbacks, you at the cornerbacks, the

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. But two guys really caught the media's attention.

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Those two players. Fifth round draft pick running back Wendelle

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Smallwood seventh round draft pick quarterback Jalen Mills, not just

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>because he's got green hair, but because he's been around

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the football a lot. And Coach Peterson talked about those

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 1>two players and how they've opened some eyes in these

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.519
<v Speaker 1>first three days of camp. You know, I was excited

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>when we drafted him. I was excited during rookie camp

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>when we had him in here, uh, the entire offseason program.

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>And he came back ready to go in a great

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>frame of mind, and and um, you know he's gonna

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 1>put himself in a position I'm hoping to help us

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>this season. I think he's I think he's that good

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 1>and um, excellent route runner, good hands, you know, uh,

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>patient runner, and I love the fact that he's he's

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of a one cut, no nonsense type guy. He's

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>a downhill guy, but but fast enough to separate and

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>create some you know, create some long runs. So I'm

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>excited again once we getn't start getting into pads protection,

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>how well can he protect? And and a lot of

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>backs in college that come to this level, Um, that's

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>something they've got to learn extremely fast. Doing a great job,

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>doing a great job. He's he's he's a physical guy.

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>He moves well, he's sharp, he's learning Coach Schwartz's system

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>back there and and uh again he's he's put himself

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>in a position to, um, you know, help us tremendously.

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>And again once we you know, I love I love

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the work these guys do in there in shorts and helmets.

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>But again sometimes and once you get the pads on,

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>it becomes a different a different animal. And you know, two,

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>once we get into camp a week or so and

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>the volume starts to increase just a little bit, you know,

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>we'll see exactly where these kids are. But right now,

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Love Love where he's at. Love is his attention to detail,

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 1>his aggression, and he's making plays so smallwood and mills

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>sure look good running around in shorts. The question is Chris,

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Are they for real? And how much can they contribute

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>as rookies? I think they certainly both can have an

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 1>impact as their rookie seasons progress. The key for Smallwood,

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.679
<v Speaker 1>first and foremost is going to be can he pass protect?

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>You look at the running backs in the West Coast

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 1>offense over the years, going back to running backs coach

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Do Staley himself, and in order to stay on the

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>field all three downs, you have to be able to

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>help the quarterback. It's great that he can run, it's

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>great that he could catch the ball in the backfield,

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>but Kenny block an opposing defensive end or a linebacker.

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>And for Mills, look, he's smart, he's cerebral, has been

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>around the football, He's athletic. He's a four year starter

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>at LSU, so certainly he has the football chops. The

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>key for him will be Kenny tackle. Is he gonna

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>be physical enough? Will he be able to, you know,

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.039
<v Speaker 1>maintain that leverage and not allowed the deep plays down

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.359
<v Speaker 1>in this Jim Schwartz defense. So those are gonna be

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.039
<v Speaker 1>the things to watch for Smallwood. Can he pass block?

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 1>For Mills, will the physical part of the game alter

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>his playing style at all? Yeah? It's the little things,

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the technique that really makes the difference. And every time

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>we talk about these spring and early summer sensations, the

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>named Lorenzo Booker you brought here and we all remember

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>what happened to Lorenzo Booker. That was a long, long

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>time ago. So we got allowed to get to today,

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 1>including Doug Peterson, who's coming into studio next. And when

0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>we return Inside training Camp presented by x Affinity, I

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>go one on one with a head coach to the

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles. I got tickets, Metro tickets. You need a

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Metro ticket? Talk to me, please. I don't even know

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>these real tickets. If you know, doesn't touch it, this

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:20.919
<v Speaker 1>leather legit. I mean, how do we really know? It

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>looks good? Right? No, I'm paying myself. I gotta make

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Does the baby need a Metro ticket? I'll give her

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>one on me. These tickets they're not stealing your soul.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>You can look at them. May nobody wants to buy

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>tickets from a guy on the street. I don't understand.

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed gardening. I like to plant seeds and watch

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>what grows. Several years ago I fell so I went

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>to my local orthopedic doctor who performed the knee replacement.

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>After a year of a lot of pain, I decided

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I needed a second opinion, so I went to Rothman

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>at Jefferson. As soon as the doctor operated on me,

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.559
<v Speaker 1>I could tell right away that things were totally different.

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Now I can garden again, I can kneel, and I'm

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>just very very grateful for Rothman at Jefferson Hospital. Welcome

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>into the studio and Eagles insider Dave Spider with head

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>coach Doug Peterson in his first training camp as an

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>NFL head coach. How's it going so far? It's going well.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>It's going well. The weather's cooperating. You know, it's a

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>little warm. I want it hot. I want it hot

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's gonna be a tough camp once we get

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the vets in here. But it's been going well for

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of days. Doug, what are you seeing

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>from from the thirty eight players who've been here for

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>three days? You know, you just want to see them.

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>You want to just see them again how much they

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>retained over the summer. Um. You want to get them

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>used to the schedule, you know, because it's a little

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>different than what we did during the OTAs in those

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>ten weeks in the offseason and then and then you also,

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess from the veteran quarterback standpoint, you just want

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to get those guys loosened up and ready to go

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 1>for when the Vets, dude get in here. But overall,

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's it's not about killing these guys

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 1>right away. Get them back into football mode. And then

0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>and then when the Vets are here, they've got one

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>leg up on them and they're ready to go. As well.

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>You every time you meet the media, you sit there

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and you're very patient and accommodating in the media continues

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to ask questions about the quarterback position and the very

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>specifics of it. And I want to ask you this,

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and maybe this is a different perspective, how do you

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>see this as a winning situation for the Philadelphia Eagles. Well,

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>it's winning because we got three great, great quarterbacks in

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>my opinion. It's also a winning situation because we got

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a returning starter in Sam Bradford, who who played extremely

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>well at the end of the season as we know

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>last year and now moving forward, we want to keep

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 1>that going with Sam Bradford. Secondly, I mean we've got

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.839
<v Speaker 1>a great backup quarterback. And it's again it's a win

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>situation because in the National Football League, injuries take place,

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and even at the quarterback position. So having a solid

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>backup that has had game reps and game you know,

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>game experience is very, very valuable, much like we had

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen ninety nine and then and then having a

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>young quarterback that we can develop and we can groom

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and grow. I mean, it's it's it's the best of

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 1>all three worlds. And we're so excited to when I

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>say we, it's it's Frank Reich and John D. Philippo,

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 1>myself getting to work with these guys. That's the exciting

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 1>part of May rookie camp and now training camp. So

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>as the outside world wonders how it could possibly work,

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you look at it as a great position to be

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 1>in because you've got all these assets here. Yeah, and

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what, and I'm focused on one guy. Yeah,

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm focused on Sam Bradford and getting him ready for

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>September eleventh in Cleveland. The other two guys, you know,

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get them ready to go. I mentioned the

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 1>other day, I want them starter ready because if something happens,

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you want them to be just like the starter, just

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>like Sam. So, you know, it is a great situation

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to be in. But in my opinion, it's it's a

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>very easy situation right now because because Sam Bradford came back,

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>he resigned as a guy that we wanted, guy that

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I want it, and you know, it's it's it's everything

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>forward with with Sam Bradford. And since he's come back,

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Doug from the absence, what have you seen it from mentally, physically,

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>just a whole the ways kind of comported himself. Number one,

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.079
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he was able to sort of put

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, by goles by Golls kind of we kind

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>of brushed that behind him and come back. He came

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>back eager, he came back a little more assertive, he

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>came back with more confidence. The conversations that he and

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I had were basically, you know, Sam, you're the guy,

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 1>You're my guy. I've got all the trust and the

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>faith in you, and let's just go play football. Bottom line,

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, Let's go play football.

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's not worry about who's where, what's what. Let's just

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>go let's just go win games together and let's do that.

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And and so from that standpoint, you know, his leadership

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 1>ability in the huddle. You see him talking to players

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 1>now as they come back after taking a rep, and

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>those are the things you want from you from your

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>starting quarterback. We're gonna move away from the quarterback position

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to talk about some other parts of this offensive offensive line,

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>in particular, a lot invested in the offseason in that

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.959
<v Speaker 1>very important group. What do you think you've seen? What

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you feel about the offensive line right now? Felt real

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>good coming off of OTAs. Brandon Brooks gives us a

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>great depth, great starting right guard, a potential. Alan Barber

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:00.839
<v Speaker 1>is a guy that's a veteran guy that can can

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>also play tackle for you, which which we you know,

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>we've seen him do in the past, and he becomes

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.839
<v Speaker 1>a swing guy at left guard. Isaac sam allow me.

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.559
<v Speaker 1>He's a guy that I think is going to make

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a great competition at that spot. You know, Jason Kelsey,

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 1>I think is one of the best centers in the

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>national football He's so smart. He's on a quarterback level

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to smarts and thinking and anticipating on

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the fly. And then you got Lane Johnson sitting over there,

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>who's one of our core players who we resigned in

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the offseason. We felt important that we, you know, have

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>two of those nice book ends with he Ad Jason

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Peters and Jason coming coming in as a veteran guy.

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was really pleased where they where they

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>left off, um, you know at OTA. So now once

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.199
<v Speaker 1>the pads come on, I really want to see their

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>physicality takeover. I want to see them dominate and be

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>able to move move the defensive line and then obviously

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>protect the quarterback. If that'd be a great thing to

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>watch in training camp? Will it be ones against one's

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>offensive line defensive line? When when we get going and pads,

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>it'll be ones versus one till we get into live

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 1>situations and I typically go ones versus twos, twos versus ones,

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>things like that. But but for most of the camp's

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I want good versus good. Have you a sense, Doug,

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of where the offense is just in terms of learning

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the concepts the exist and as being in the right

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>place at the right time. I tell you what it's

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.839
<v Speaker 1>it's Uh, it's further along coming out of OTAs it was.

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 1>It's further along than I had anticipated. We put so

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>much football in this spring, uh, situational football that that

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times we as coaches, we don't get

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a chance to do. And one thing in Kansas City,

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I felt like we're further along this year my first

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>year here than I was my first year in Ksey

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is offensive coordinator. We we've done more from a football standpoint.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just a credit not only to the assistant coaches

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>on offense, but to the players for retaining the information,

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>taking it to the field, executing it and it puts

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.679
<v Speaker 1>them a leg up coming into camp. Is there a theme,

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Doug that you impart to these players each day? Is

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.559
<v Speaker 1>there a theme of this training camp? You know? Not really,

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I just want them to understand that that that you know.

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I want them to be smart football players. I want

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to be tough football players. We're gonna be a well

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>conditioned team and and just have fun. Let your personalities show.

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a part of this game. If you

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>don't love playing this game, we're in the wrong business,

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>coaches and players. And so the theme really every day

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>is just a we're gonna get better. We're gonna take

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>one step whatever I can do as a coach to

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 1>make to make you better as a player today. That's

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>our theme, that's our goal, and that's what we strive

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to do. You have a big saying, iron sharpens, iron,

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 1>competition at all positions. Do you feel like you've got

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>that set up as camp and the pads go on here?

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I really do. I you know what how he's done

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 1>in the offseason, his staff, bringing in, the bringing into players,

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the depth veteran players, free agents, even through the draft.

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we've we've really solidified some depth and a

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of positions. And so it's going to be exciting

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 1>once we get into camp to really see the cream

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>rise and to see who's going to be a part

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>of the Philadelphi Eagles in twenty sixteen, two and a

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.199
<v Speaker 1>half weeks away and the preseason starts. I'm excited. I

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 1>can't wait. I wish it was tomorrow. Doug, thanks so much.

<v Speaker 1>don't understand. Welcome back to Inside Training Camp presented by

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Extinity Dave SPIDERO Chris McPherson, as we get ready for

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the real bulk of training camp to start with the

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>veterans here when the pads go on. Remarkably, Chris, the

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>preseason begins in just over two weeks, so there's a

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>lot to get done between now and when the Tampa

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Bay Buccaneers come to town. Well, it was nice that

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you had these first couple of days to kind of

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 1>ease into the process. You can definitely tell was a

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>different vibe over here at the Novocare Complex, building up

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>from the OTAs when you're just kind of getting ready

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>for the summer. You want training camp to get here.

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Finally it arrives and the players are here, but it's

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the rookies and the select the vests and the quarterbacks,

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and the rookies are They're just trying to get acclimated.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to review the playbook and get a refresher

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>on things that they learned in the summer that you know,

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 1>time before they had the month away from the Novocare Complex.

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>And now it really gets going. Like you said earlier, Dave,

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the tempo is gonna pick up. You know that preseason

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>football is in the air, and it takes the game

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 1>to a different level when you get to it was

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 1>funny today after practice, I spoke to Isaac Sayomalo and

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I said, so, do you feel like you're caught up

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>getting these three days of reps? He goes no, because

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.560
<v Speaker 1>he missed most of the spring as his Oregon State

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>class graduated, and he knows now that he's gonna go

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 1>against these defensive lineman who've been in the league for five, six,

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 1>seven years, and he is way behind. And I still

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 1>think that Sam Malo has a chance to start on

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 1>September elect sting against the Cleveland Browns. That just much.

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>That's your ball. We have a ball prediction here. Yeah,

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>there'll be some commendation at the left guard position. I

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 1>always get to set up on what's happening here on

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles dot com with your favorite football team over

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the next couple of days here. And that Doug Peterson interview, well,

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 1>it's available on demands to make sure you check it out.

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was great. He's been wonderful to work with,

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 1>very accommodating as well. Yes, I mean it's a guy

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>who again he played here in Philadelphia already coach here

0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 1>in Philadelphia as an assistant before, so he understands Philadelphia.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>He loves it here. You know, I remember about a

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>month ago he was doing a roundtable session with reporters

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and he was asked about you know it, did fans

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.919
<v Speaker 1>ever throw beer at you or beer at you or

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 1>things along those lines, and he was like, that's part

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>of the job. It's not like it's something that's stuck

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>in his mind. So he loves being in the Eagle,

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 1>who loves being back with the organization, and he wants

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to help this team get to those days back in

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the two thousands when they were making those deep playoff

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.400
<v Speaker 1>runs year and year out. On Thursday, quarterback Sam Bradford,

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.920
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator Frank Reich, meet the media and we've got

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you covered with the full first team practice of the

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and sixteen training camp and a reminder to

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 1>all fans, free of charge. On Sunday, July thirty, first

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 1>training camp is open to the public in Lincoln Financial Field.

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>It begins at ten o'clock. The gates open at eight

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>o'clock and why not tailgate Let's get ready for the

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>regular season, no question about it. You're gonna be hosting

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.439
<v Speaker 1>a spotlight forum which it is sold out, yes, with

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Vince Papali and Harold Carmichael. Long shots who made it

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>big in the NFL. Not as easy to do these

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:11.119
<v Speaker 1>days with these truncated training camp times and limited opportunities

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>on the practice field. Remember only one practice a day

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>and then there's a walk through, So it's really tough

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 1>for the long shots to make an impression. That's why

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>these past three days were so important. All right, question,

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.880
<v Speaker 1>We'll me back tomorrow with inside training Camp presented by

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Xfinity for Chris McPherson. I'm Dave Spiderra. Thanks so much

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>for joining us. Have yourselves a great Eagles days
