WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: July 29

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>A big day for the little guy. Hello everyone, Welcome

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>to Inside Training Camp, presented by Xfinity Eagles insider Dave

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Spennarrow along with Chris McPherson, and on this Friday, the

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>big news of the day is that the little guy,

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>running back Darren Sprowles, has a new deal with the

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Eagles that keeps him in Philadelphia through twenty seventeen. What's funny,

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Dave as you talk to the players and get their

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>reaction to the deal, and wide receiver Jordan Matthews said

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>on Friday that the guy that we look up to

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room is a guy who only comes

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>up to our knees. He's five foot six. We scored

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>fourteen touchdowns over the last two seasons with the Eagles,

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>four of them by punt return. When he was traded

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>from Neuros of Philadelphia, the Saints thought that he was

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>done well. Obviously that's not the case, and even though

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>he's entering his twelfth NFL season, the Eagles called comp

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>end up in his ability in terms of what he

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>does both on and off the field to extend his

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.559
<v Speaker 1>contract through twenty seventeen. And so yet another Eagles core

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>players signed by the Eagles will talk to Howie Roseman

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>about that. In just one moment and four Sprowles. Look,

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>it's another opportunity to be in this offense, Chris, and

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>to be a big part of what Doug Peterson and

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Frank Reich are putting together. If there's one drawback to

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the way the Eagles have used Sprowls in the offense

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>these past couple of seasons, it's been in the receiving game.

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Look for Darren Sproles to be heavily involved in this

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>screen game as the Eagles also look to get him

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>in space and get him the football. Now. The man

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>who coaches Sprowles, former Eagles great running back Deuce Staley,

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>had nothing but glowing things to say about the little

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>big man in this Eagles offense. It's the things that

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>he do off the field in the classroom, the type

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of person he is. It's very professional. He just brings

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>us a lot to the table. You know, a lot

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of the fans they see what's happening on Sunday and

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Monday night. I get a chance to see him all

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>during the week, and he's special. It's hard to find him.

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to find him behind lineman, you know, you

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.239
<v Speaker 1>got linemen that are six five sixty six, six to seven,

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and here comes Spros who's five whatever. I know, he's

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>short and you can't find him. So he's been using

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 1>that as a strength his whole career and it's been working.

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's amazing for him to be in his twelfth

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>year too. In my opinion, I don't think he's lost

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a step, and he takes care of his body. He

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>does everything right. He's very routine and you're able to

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 1>see that also on the field. I tell you, man,

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>he's one of them. He's one of the ones that's

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna go down to history as one of the best

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to play the position at that size, height and weight.

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>An extraordinary player in every way. You wonder just how

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>much use he'll get in this Eagles offense or backfield.

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>That's got a lot of questions. Ryan Matthews still not

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>able to practice, Kenyon Barner really hasn't proven himself in

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, and of course, fifth round draft pick wen

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Dale Smallwood a player with promise and a player who's

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>got to get onto the field and do it in

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. Chris, how much work do you think Darren

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Sprowles gets touching the football this year, it seems like

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the coaches really want to expand his workload because you

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier, what's the one complaint that Eagles fans might

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>have about the waste Sprowles has been used the last

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of seasons, and you said it's in the receiving game.

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>And certainly when he was first acquired from New Orleans,

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was going to be the perfect perimeter

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>space weapon for this Eagles offense. And I think Doug

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Pearson and Frank right look at a skill set, You

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>look at what Doug Pearson has done during his time

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City and feel like they need to get

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball in his hands more. But keep note he

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>has been one of the most prolific punt return over

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of seasons and he still wants to

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>keep that role. Dave here in twenty sixteen. So following

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the practice on Friday, the Eagles indoors again because of

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the weather. Both Doug Peterson and Howie Roseman talked to

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the media about the deal about keeping Darren Sproles an

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Eagle and his Sprowles says for the rest of his career.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>When you talk about leadership work ethic, character, and then production.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>He's made the last two Pro Bowls. He just exemplifies

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>everything that we want to be and as we look

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>at it, and he's so important to this team on

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and off the field, it was a no brainers from

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>our perspective. Darren Sprowles is a pros pro. He knows

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>how to take care of his body in the offseason.

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>He's very, very intelligent running back. He's been around this

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>game a long time. It's guys like that you don't

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>worry about. He's gonna he does everything right. He does

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>what you what you coach him to do. And again

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>it's just the way he prepares and the way he

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 1>attacks every day gives you the confidence that he's going

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to be around fifteen more years. So we expect Sprowles

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to get his touches as a running back, as a

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>receiver Chris as well as a punt returner. What about

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the rest of this backfield with Matthews, with Barner and

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 1>with Smallwood. The Eagles want to run the football, how

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>do they mix up these carries? To me, Ryan Matthews

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>is still the lead guy. And I know fans may

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>not want to hear that right now because he opened

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>training camp on the non football injury list. Now it's

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>an ankle injury. He'd expected to be back next week,

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 1>so it's not a serious issue for him to deal with. Nonetheless,

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>he was so effective last season nearly five point one

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry, super athletic. The key is going to

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 1>be can they feed him the football and can he

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 1>hold up throughout the course of the season. We've talked

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>about Wendell Smallwood and once the pads go on Saturday,

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>will he be able to hold up in pass protection?

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a question with him. Kenyon Barner, he may be unproven.

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>He got some snaps there in two fifteen toward the

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>end of the season, but he attacked the offseason hard. Physically,

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he looks like he's in great shape. Now can he

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>carry that workover from the spraying to the summertime? And

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 1>remember this last year in Kansas City, Doug Peterson, the

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator Jamal Charles, their Pro Bowl running back goes down,

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>They lose the next week, and then proceed to rip

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>off eleven consecutive wins on their way to a Divisional

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 1>playoff round game and ultimately a loss to the New

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>England Patriots. So we will find out. As Chris said,

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the pad's going on Saturday, and some of these spring

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>and early summer football players, they kind of become a

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>mirage when when the pads go on, the contact begins

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>at the Novacare Complex on Saturday, and we will have

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>full coverage of that. Now we're going to return here

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.760

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:49.920

<v Speaker 1>with Eagles quarterbacks Sam Bradford. Please to have you in here. Sam,

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to training camp. Thanks for having me. How are

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you feeling physically and mentally? Uh, you know, I feel

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>really good. Obviously. This is kind of the first year

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>that I haven't had the rehab. You know, I've really

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>been able to train and just kind of get my

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>body back to where it was before the injury. So

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>physically I feel great. Mentally, you know, the beginning of

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>camp it's always a really exciting time and so you know,

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to just get back around the guys start playing football again.

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, I feel pretty good right now. What is

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the camaraderie like, what's the chemistry like on this team?

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>It's really good, you know, I think you know, we've

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>got a pretty tight locker room. You know, there's a

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of good guys in the locker room, a lot

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 1>of guys that I really enjoy spending time around. And

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that's that's key to any team. You know,

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I think we all enjoy working together. I think we

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>all enjoy spending time together. You know, when we come

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>to work, we have a blast. That's a lot of fun.

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's not a grind. It's uh yeah. Obviously

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the training camp can get tough at times, but you know,

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>with this group of guys, there's always something happening. It's

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>always exciting, you know, it's always a good time. It's interesting, Sam.

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, the locker room changes every year for every team,

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and this year there's also a change in the coaching staff.

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>So how does how does chemistry develop? How does leadership

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Developes it just organic or I mean, how does it happen? Yeah,

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think it is organic. I think it

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.199
<v Speaker 1>just kind of happens over time, you know. I think, um, yeah, obviously,

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>some of the better and some of the guys who

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>have been through change before and who have seen this process,

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, they can kind of step up,

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the beginning stages of it and kind

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>of take control. But you know, I think as training

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>camp goes along, as the season goes along, as everyone

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 1>gets comfortable with each other, um, you know, I think

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 1>the natural leaders just kind of be merge and for

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>you year two, does that make you feel more natural

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>as a leader. Knowing more the guys. Yeah, you know,

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>it really helps, you know, Especially last year, it was

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>tough for me just you know, not being able to

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>practice in the spring, not really knowing anyone. You know.

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I still had to prove myself to

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>everyone in the locker room, you know, and I wasn't

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.079
<v Speaker 1>able to do that in the spring, and so it

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>was really hard for me to step up and be

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>vocal and try to take a leadership role, you know.

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But I felt like as the season went along, you know,

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>it's something that you know, I felt more comfortable with.

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I took more of a leadership role, and being in

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>year two, you know, I think it makes it a

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>lot easier knowing everyone in the locker room. Now. I

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>know it's very early, but the training camp just starting.

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.719
<v Speaker 1>There's a preseason game in two weeks. Do you have

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a sense what this offense can be? You know, I

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>hope it can be a great offense, you know. Obviously,

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I think we had a really good spring. You know,

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>We've got a lot of work to do, obviously, with

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.559
<v Speaker 1>it being a new system, you know, we're still kind

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of ironing out some of the kinks. But you know,

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we had a great spring. I think if

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>we can work together, you know, in training camp these

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>next two three weeks, you know, really get after it,

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, get better focus each day, I think we've

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 1>got a chance to be a special group. Is the

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.719
<v Speaker 1>verbiage the difficult part to learn? Uh? Yeah, you know

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 1>with the verbiage being different, you know, the communication, you know,

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>from me to Kelsey, from me to the receivers, you know,

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line those guys, everything's a little bit different,

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, and learning to commu unicate in any offense

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 1>is key. And so I think that's really what's important

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 1>for us these next couple of weeks is going out there,

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, just speaking the language, learning to communicate, learning

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.079
<v Speaker 1>to come off to the sideline after set, talk about

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 1>what we saw, how we want to make adjustments, and

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>then the next time go back out there and make

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.839
<v Speaker 1>those adjustments from a personal standpoint. And what kind of

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>goals do you have for training camp? Yeah, I really

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.679
<v Speaker 1>just gain a better grasp on this offense. You know,

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I felt like, you know, the spring was great. I

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>felt like I learned a lot about it. But you know,

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I think this is really the time of year where

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you take that next step in learning an offense, you know,

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>And like I said on Monday, I think the really

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>important thing is me and Kelsey. I think this year,

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.439
<v Speaker 1>me and him have to be on the same page.

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>We have to be seeing the same thing and be

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>speaking the same language at all times. So these next

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.079
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, you know, one of my goals has

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:51.599
<v Speaker 1>really just spent a lot of time with him and

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>make sure we're seeing the same things. How about preseason games?

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a certain number of plays you'd like

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 1>to take, reps, you'd like to have, throws you'd like

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to make. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, obviously I'm not

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.199
<v Speaker 1>sure how coach Peterson handles the preseason. Obviously you're always

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>looking for as much work as you can get. Um.

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can simulate game speed a little bit

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>in practice, but it's hard, you know. I think those

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>preseason games are really, you know, a good opportunity to

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.839
<v Speaker 1>really see where you're at. And I think those will

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>be great challenges, uh, you know, great learning opportunities for

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.839
<v Speaker 1>this offense this year. Sam, What is the part of

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 1>training camp you like the most? The practice for sure? Yeah, Okay,

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that's the fun part um. You know, sitting in meetings

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>for the other ten hours a day. That gets a

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>little tough at times. How do you stay awake during

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>these meetings? Um? And not fall asleep? But we hear

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, the old throwing the racer at

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the guy who's falling a suit. What is it like

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>inside inside of meeting room? Um? You know, sometimes, especially

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>after a couple of weeks, they can get a little monotonous.

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>But you know, a lot of sunflower seeds, a lot

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of caffeine, a lot of bubblegum, you know, pretty much

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>anything that kind of keep you stimulating. He is flipping

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 1>entertaining guy. He is an entertaining Yeah, yeah, I mean him,

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Him and coach right, they've got some great stories, so

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 1>they'll Throllo's in there to kind of break it up

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>every now and then. For us, Well, I'm glad you

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>came in so much. Thank you so much, and keep

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>up the great work. Let's go to the field. Sam Bradsher,

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.439
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for joining us in studio on Philadelphia

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Eagles dot com. Growing up, we had a basketball hoop

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in our driveway and that's all I used to play with.

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>This past August, I happened to notice the bump on

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>my foot, so my parents and I decided that we

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 1>would go to Rothman at Jefferson. We found out from

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.679
<v Speaker 1>a biopsy that I had an osteosarcoma cancer. Scary, but

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the Rothman doctors felt so confident in what they were

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>going to do, and it couldn't have turned out any better.

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>The Rothman Institute at Jefferson was able to get me

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>back on the court and back to where I wanted

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:59.559
<v Speaker 1>to be. Love me tender, love me sweet. The stronger

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the love let me go, the greater the responsibility. But

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:09.760

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Convention going on for four days across the streets, so

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of restrictions, a lot of traffic, and a

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun for the Eagles on the field and

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>off the field long snapper John Doranboss continuing to amaze

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>viewers for the TV show America's Got Talent on NBC,

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and this week he was voted into the semi finals

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>of that show. Took the Red Eye back to Philadelphia

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>in time for Thursday's conditioning test, and then in the

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>locker room, Chris, the Secret Service agents coming to Philadelphia,

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>stopped by to check out some action here in Philadelphia

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>with the Eagles. They went into the locker room and

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 1>John Doran Boss the magic Man, put on a show. Kay,

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll make this super simple. Just say stop stop, Okay,

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>take it, look at it. I don't want to see it,

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 1>but show everybody else here. And I know you guys

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna bounce here. So does everybody know what it is?

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes or no? Yeah? Um, so I'll try to disc

0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody can see. You're gonna take it and you're gonna

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 1>push it in somewhere in the center, but you're gonna

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>leave it, stick it out. Does that make sense to it?

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>And then so put it in there in the middle. Yeah,

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm perfect. Okay, screw the sea, don't don't screw you

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>guys will see that. You guys see us not in

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the middle. Yeah, and then that's it right, excited this

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>up high so you guys can see, I'm gonna go

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>down this way and just push it all the way

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 1>in the center. So just take your finger, just keep

0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 1>pushing it in. This is sick, okay. So when we

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>riffle it this way, it's a ripple like this and

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>we can get your card to jump to the top. Perfect. Yeah,

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>was it the three of hearts? The three of hearts up?

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Familiar but no perfect? Okay, of course it's not the

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>three hearts. Let me see that hat and uh okay,

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>last time, okay, uh, put your hand flat. I messed up.

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>What was it? Two club? Two of clubs? Put your

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 1>hand on top of the three will quick? Uh oh wow, Okay,

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>this is called a trick on bad and we're gonna

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>try and get out of it. So it was it

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>was the two. If you tap this way and snap,

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that's when I get that three. I ripped up from

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>one piece. Putch things, hold on, name your card on

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 1>that to look at the pieces in your hand. We

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>get those pieces of change. Yeah, which if you can't

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 1>see that, the hold on, hold on, put your hand

0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>on flat, hold and hold the pieces your other hand

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>on top. Here's a really cool I'll try this one

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>hundred left your hand up. Some people can see pick

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 1>that hand up, open your head one hand. What a

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 1>phenomenal act there by John Dornbost. It's amazing watching the

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>players in the background because Cody park is sitting there

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 1>at his locker and he's like, I've seen his trick

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 1>one hundred times before. Carson Wentz is completely enraptured and

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 1>everything that's going following from beginning to end. But it's

0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 1>just so great to see Dornbost, the longest tenured Eagle,

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and the way that he's representing the Eagles organization and

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the city of Philadelphia on America's Got Town. A true showman,

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to say the very least. So we're about to wrap

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 1>things up here on inside Training Campers and bikes Face,

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 1>But first a look at what's coming up tomorrow. Dave's

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>one on one interview with quarterback Sam Bradford will be

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>available on demand. Following the team's practice in the morning,

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinat Jim Schwartz meets the media. You'll be able

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 1>to watch that live right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Com as well as Eagles Mobile app. As we said,

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it's the first padded practice. Unlike the past couple of

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 1>years with Chip Kelly, you will see tackling and players

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 1>going down to the ground. Doug Peterson Jim Schwartz believe

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>in a physical training camp, that's where you learn about

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the players being able to take it to the next level.

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 1>So we'll get to see it live and up close tomorrow.

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, name the one player you're looking at the

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.960
<v Speaker 1>most tomorrow. I've got my guy, my guys cornerback Jalen

0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Mills to go. Seventh round draft pick who's played really

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.920
<v Speaker 1>well throughout the spring, and in these first couple of

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>days of training camp, Jalen Mills looks like he's the

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 1>real deal without the pads. Does his game go up

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.119
<v Speaker 1>or does he struggle when the pads go on. Jalen

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Mills is my player to watch on Saturday. I will

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>say on the defensive side of the football, I'll even

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 1>stay there in the back. I'm gonna go at the

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 1>linebacker position. Jordan Hicks has looked very fluid coming off

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 1>injury in the first couple full team practices. Remember you

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 1>missed a second half of last year due to that

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 1>pectoral injury. How does he hold up in the tackling

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Kenny get physical? Are there any setbacks whatsoever that's going

0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to be looking at, because he's such a key to

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that Eagles defense right there in the middle of all

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.719
<v Speaker 1>the actions. So we find out a whole lot more

0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 1>about the Eagles starting Saturday, when the pads go on

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and the tempo increases, we'll have full coverage for you

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.680
