Speaker 1: We're just one day away from the Eagles taking on
Speaker 1: the Patriots in their second preseason game. I'm Chris McPherson
Speaker 1: and welcome to Insight Training Camp presented by Expandy. The
Speaker 1: Eagles and the Patriots wrapped up three days of joint
Speaker 1: practices on Thursday with a walkthrough. On today's show, bow
Speaker 1: Wolf goes one on one with wide receiver of Fanni
Speaker 1: MoMA in our weekly feature presented by Gatorade. Moments started
Speaker 1: last Friday against the Chicago Bears and could see a
Speaker 1: love playing time this week due to injuries at the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. We'll also chat with Brian Baldinger, the
Speaker 1: analyst for the Eagles preseason telecast as well as the
Speaker 1: co host of the Emmy nominated Game Plan Show. But
Speaker 1: first we're gonna send it to Foxboro for the latest
Speaker 1: on the Eagles with Dave Spadero, who has some notes
Speaker 1: on a promising second year tight end who wowed the
Speaker 1: opposition during the week of training. Thank you very much, Chris.
Speaker 1: You know rookie wide receiver Jordan Matthews had an inconsistent
Speaker 1: performance against the Bears in week number one of this preseason.
Speaker 1: He is unfazed by that He's had a very good
Speaker 1: week of practice against the Patriots and is looking forward
Speaker 1: to another opportunity to go out on the field and
Speaker 1: simply do his job. So I say, just doing my job.
Speaker 1: If I got to get the ten yards and break
Speaker 1: out on a route, that's all I'm going to do.
Speaker 1: I'm working on those things, just folks, and on the
Speaker 1: little things that have to do, and then at the
Speaker 1: end of the day has catch the ball and making
Speaker 1: place for a team. So that's how I look at it.
Speaker 1: The first team offense in Chicago plagued by inconsistency, penalties, turnovers,
Speaker 1: things that tight end zach Ertz wants to see cleaned
Speaker 1: up against the Patriots. We can't have stupid penalties like
Speaker 1: we had last weekend. We can't turn the ball over.
Speaker 1: If you lose the turnover battle, it's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: to win any game, especially in this league. And if
Speaker 1: we have three penalties on one drive, we're definitely not
Speaker 1: going to convert it most likely. So I think that's
Speaker 1: what we got to focus on right now. Seventh round
Speaker 1: draft pick bo Allen has seen a lot of repetitions,
Speaker 1: including some with the first team defense. He's gained the
Speaker 1: notice from the coaching staff, and now he's got a
Speaker 1: chance to do it again against the Patriots on Friday night.
Speaker 1: I'm beginning a lot of reps, which is good. You know,
Speaker 1: that's what you need to get reps. You get that experience,
Speaker 1: you get that muscle memory and that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So that's really all you can ask for is a rookie.
Speaker 1: Well that's it from Foxborough, a week of practice in
Speaker 1: the books. The only thing left is the Eagles and
Speaker 1: the Patriots on Friday night from Gillette Stadium. Chris back
Speaker 1: to you in the studio at the Overcare Complex. Thanks
Speaker 1: Dave as Jordan Matthews spot on the roster is secure.
Speaker 1: Another young receiver is making a push for a spot
Speaker 1: of his own. After the break, bow Wolf goes one
Speaker 1: on one with a receiver who has been waiting for
Speaker 1: a moment like this, a Fanny moment that is in
Speaker 1: our weekly one on one presented by Gatorade, the world
Speaker 1: famous fries you Love plus a shake of three new
Speaker 1: flavors you add, introducing McDonald's shaken Flavor Fries. Shake up

Speaker 1: people know that solar power is a good idea, but
Speaker 1: not everyone knows there are lots of reasons why solar
Speaker 1: makes so much sense right now. The good news RG
Speaker 1: is the company with experience and everything, from building the
Speaker 1: most advanced solar thermal facility of its kind, to powering
Speaker 1: football stadiums with solar and to bring solar power to

Speaker 1: to that stadium, this is the weekly Gatorade one on one.
Speaker 1: We're here with the Eagles wide receiver, a Fanny moment,
Speaker 1: and a funny you know, there's so much talk from
Speaker 1: the coaches and from guys about how far you've come
Speaker 1: from last season to this season. Do you do you
Speaker 1: sort of embrace that or do you sort of bristle
Speaker 1: at it? Because it's it's, you know, sort of a
Speaker 1: backhanding compliment about last year. What how do you feel
Speaker 1: about that stuff? No, I mean I take it as
Speaker 1: you know the guy, honest truth. You know, I knew
Speaker 1: last year that I wasn't playing my best and I
Speaker 1: wasn't really at my potential. Um So, coming out here
Speaker 1: this year and just actually being able to prove myself
Speaker 1: better than I did last year, it's been a it's
Speaker 1: been a blessing for me. But honestly, it's still one
Speaker 1: step at a time, one day at a time. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to take it slowly so that
Speaker 1: come the regular season, I'm still on his roster and
Speaker 1: I'm on a fifty three man playing you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Are there are there moments in practice where
Speaker 1: you make a play and you're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I would not have made that play last year. I
Speaker 1: really don't think like that, but there's there's times where
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, while I'm definitely doing feel
Speaker 1: I feel better, I feel more comfortable. I feel like
Speaker 1: I have my confidence than I've had before, not only
Speaker 1: last year, but just any time before that. I was
Speaker 1: watching you know, one on ones this week with with
Speaker 1: Mike Quick was one of the greatest receivers in Engles history.
Speaker 1: And it was a play where you caught a touchdown
Speaker 1: over Brandon Browner in the corner um and Quick was
Speaker 1: talking about some of the subtleties that that he saw
Speaker 1: in your route and slowing your pace down so that
Speaker 1: you could get the ball right at the top of
Speaker 1: the route, take advantage of your size, and he was
Speaker 1: impressed with some sort of veteran stuff that that he
Speaker 1: was seeing at of you for such a young guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's honestly, he's he's helped me out a little bit.
Speaker 1: He came out to me last year and told me
Speaker 1: how it can be more physical and use my size
Speaker 1: um and and that I took it to heart that
Speaker 1: one time he talks to me. I was thinking about
Speaker 1: it all the time, like, man, you know my quick
Speaker 1: season potential today and he's given me advice, Like I
Speaker 1: really should take advantage of what he's telling me. And
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's an honor to here him talk
Speaker 1: about me and that in that manner. So I just
Speaker 1: got to continue to use my size and learn every
Speaker 1: day and and you know, become a veteran and receiver
Speaker 1: and just keep on playing and getting better, and so
Speaker 1: what is your sense of sort of the competition for
Speaker 1: a spot on the fifty three men roster sort of
Speaker 1: how you stand? Yeah, I think honestly it's I've been blessed.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of opportunities guys you know not
Speaker 1: here to get practicing. You know, Cooper is helping me
Speaker 1: even though he's out, and you know, I think the
Speaker 1: sky's a limit. You know, there really is in the
Speaker 1: room for me. I think anything I happened as far
Speaker 1: as it's fifty three male roster, I think I not
Speaker 1: only practice squot but I'm trying to play this year.
Speaker 1: Last question is one of the things Chip Kelly has
Speaker 1: talked about is for the guys who were fighting spots
Speaker 1: four spots on the bottom of the roster, how important
Speaker 1: special teams is? What do you sort of bring to
Speaker 1: the table there? That's the I think the most important
Speaker 1: part for anybody on this team. I'm a physical guy,
Speaker 1: I'm bigger, I have better size and just have to
Speaker 1: prove myself when I get the opportunity out there. We
Speaker 1: have some really really good spencial teams players here, so
Speaker 1: it's all about the opportunity. You know, you get that
Speaker 1: one shot or kick off in the game, and if
Speaker 1: you don't go all out, you know, you might not
Speaker 1: be able to get the opportunity again. So I have
Speaker 1: to prove myself every day in practice, and it's most
Speaker 1: importantly in the games. So preseason game number two, right
Speaker 1: up the road from where he went to college. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have some some friends in town to watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a lot of friends coming out. I had
Speaker 1: a couple here for the practices. But this game is
Speaker 1: gonna be big for me. I'm gonna have so much
Speaker 1: fun front of friends and family. All right, Well, Fanny moment.
Speaker 1: One of the stories of training camp for this Eagles team.
Speaker 1: That is your Gatorade one on one presented by Gatorade Septa.

Speaker 1: the subway down there because I feel like i'm you know,

Speaker 1: home game this season. Welcome back to Inside Training Camp
Speaker 1: presented by Expanity. Brian Baldinger is the analyst for this
Speaker 1: year's Eagles preseason telecast. But before he got into the
Speaker 1: TV business, he was an NFL offensive lineman for over
Speaker 1: a decade, playing guard, senator, and tackle. We're gonna send
Speaker 1: it back to Foxborough where Daves Vedero had a chance
Speaker 1: to catch up with Baldy, who talked about, among other things,
Speaker 1: the progress made by the team's young defensive lineman. Well,
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Patriots have concluded three days of
Speaker 1: joint practices here in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Now we get ready
Speaker 1: for preseason game number two the Eagles and the Patriots.
Speaker 1: I'm joined by Brian Baldinger, who of course from the
Speaker 1: NFL network, and he'll be providing the color commentary for
Speaker 1: the game on six ABC in the Philadelphia region. Bald
Speaker 1: it's game number two and it's a different kind of
Speaker 1: importance for the Eagles for some of these young players.
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? I'm looking forward. I was
Speaker 1: looking for last week. I'm just looking for competitive guys,
Speaker 1: Guys that flash, guys that make plays. I means the
Speaker 1: old cliches, but you know, guys that show up that
Speaker 1: you don't know much about it or you want to
Speaker 1: see what they can do. I mean, for example, last week,
Speaker 1: Matt Tobin to me at left guard probably played more
Speaker 1: snaps than anybody on the field last Friday night. It
Speaker 1: opened my eyes. Like the more I watched him, I'm like,
Speaker 1: the more I want to see of them. I mean,
Speaker 1: they need lineman. We know the depth is challenged. He
Speaker 1: looked like a guy that took advantage of his opportunity
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. Bow Allen and
Speaker 1: Marcus Smith and Brandon Bear, who nobody knows about all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, may be key factors for this football team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Dave. Look, you know we know
Speaker 1: this about what Billy Davis wants to do. He wants
Speaker 1: to you know wave you know, six defensive lineman throw.
Speaker 1: He wants a rotation. He wants, you know, wants this
Speaker 1: guys to share snaps, and those guys showed up, you know,
Speaker 1: and Bow gave passed rush. We didn't know that he
Speaker 1: could do that, you know, just bull the center of
Speaker 1: the way. He did and collapse the pocket on a
Speaker 1: couple of occasions. It was impressive. Brandon, you know, big
Speaker 1: long kid that you know was picked up here last year,
Speaker 1: flashed kind of like, so what I want to see?
Speaker 1: I want to see he can bo Allen show up again?
Speaker 1: You know, does Brandon bear flash? Does Marcus Smith make
Speaker 1: another player two like you did last last week? Does
Speaker 1: Matt Tobin take it to a different level? I mean
Speaker 1: all those things. You want to see some kissistency. Last year,
Speaker 1: at first play of the game, Lincoln Financial Field, Stephen
Speaker 1: Ridley goes sixty two yards, The Patriots run the football
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Then Tom Brady comes back seven for
Speaker 1: eight on the second drive, another touchdown drive. And the
Speaker 1: story this week has been that the defense for the
Speaker 1: Eagles much more competitive against Brady. So obviously in game two,
Speaker 1: Bill Davis wants to see that kind of performance, even enhanced. Well,
Speaker 1: I would think so, I mean, you know, you're seeing
Speaker 1: the league's best in Tom Brady, and they can go
Speaker 1: as fast as anybody, you know. I mean they want
Speaker 1: to go hurry up against the Eagles tomorrow night. They
Speaker 1: can do that, Dave. But you know, I mean, I
Speaker 1: just think the second year of the defense, I mean,
Speaker 1: Billy Davis wanted to be able to shut down Chicago's
Speaker 1: running game. Last week. They did that, So that's always
Speaker 1: the priority, without blitzing, without doing anything fancy, and that's
Speaker 1: what they couldn't do last year early in the season.
Speaker 1: So you know, you would hope that a second year
Speaker 1: in the program guys to feel a lot more comfortable
Speaker 1: playing in the system. And I think they are and
Speaker 1: it showed and we hope that it shows tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: What caught my eye against Chicago the way they used
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins in the box as kind of a run
Speaker 1: supporter deep in coverage, moved him around a bit. That
Speaker 1: versatility is something I guess that the Eagles are counting on.
Speaker 1: It could really make a big difference with a d
Speaker 1: quite frankly, Dave, that's why he's here. I mean, otherwise
Speaker 1: he would have gone to Saint Louis, you know, with
Speaker 1: the guy that he knows very well and Greg Williams,
Speaker 1: who coached him in New Orleans. So he came here
Speaker 1: because Billy Davis is going to be able to use
Speaker 1: all of his skills. He came out of Ohio State
Speaker 1: as a top flight corner. He's made the transition of safety.
Speaker 1: But that's what the league is. I mean, it's cover safeties,
Speaker 1: and so that's what you have to be able to do.
Speaker 1: That's what Dawkins did. That's what al Charle Roll does
Speaker 1: in New York. The great safeties. They dropped down the
Speaker 1: cover tight end, the cover the slot. They blitzed, you know.
Speaker 1: And even the other night he was, you know, defending
Speaker 1: the gunners on punt return team and did a great
Speaker 1: job of it. He's the old cliche, the guy's just
Speaker 1: a football player and he loves it. And the Eagles
Speaker 1: are a much better defense because he's back to Nick Foles.
Speaker 1: Two intercepts is against the Bears. This is the second game.
Speaker 1: People want to see progress. Anything going on there with
Speaker 1: Nick Foles that makes you want to see a couple
Speaker 1: of good touchdown drives here? Well yeah, I mean, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: his decision making wasn't good, his footwork wasn't good. He
Speaker 1: didn't look like the guy that finished the season last year.
Speaker 1: So you know you want to try of you want
Speaker 1: to like just say that's rust. You go ahead, let's
Speaker 1: kick the rust off. Let's get out here. A good
Speaker 1: week of work against you know, Reeves and Brandon Brown
Speaker 1: or some of the you know players they have out here,
Speaker 1: and they take it to the field tomorrow night. And
Speaker 1: you know that's that's his job. Now. You know, whether
Speaker 1: Macklin plays doesn't matter. I mean, Tom Brady could throw
Speaker 1: to me and you and probably still complete a lot
Speaker 1: of about that, all right, but I get the point.
Speaker 1: But I mean, next job is to throw these guys open,
Speaker 1: make these guys look good, get the ball in the
Speaker 1: right spots, see the field well, and so you know
Speaker 1: he needs to just forget about that flush it. He's
Speaker 1: had a good week of work. It's good weather today,
Speaker 1: a good weather Tuesday. Throw it in the rain, throw
Speaker 1: a wet ball like he did on Wednesday. But really,
Speaker 1: you know, shine tomorrow night. I mean, it's all about
Speaker 1: moving the team. Brian Bader, and make sure you tune
Speaker 1: in six ABC seven thirty on Friday night in the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia region the Eagles and the Patriots again. Brian will
Speaker 1: provide the analysis and Dave will be on the sidelines
Speaker 1: for Eagles preseason telecast, which can be seen locally on
Speaker 1: six ABC. Brian Brayman was signed by the Eagles this
Speaker 1: offseason to help boost the special teams units. He is
Speaker 1: known for his no helmet tackle against Mark Marianni of
Speaker 1: the Titans years ago, and also for his attitude towards
Speaker 1: special teams kill name destroy Our Melissa Kelly, others Moore
Speaker 1: about the new Eagles linebacker. Brian Brayman has turned heads
Speaker 1: this preseason not only for his grizzly Adam looks, but
Speaker 1: for the skill set he provides on the fields. He
Speaker 1: had thirty one special teams tackles in forty six career
Speaker 1: games for the Houston Texans, and his addition to the
Speaker 1: roster is another sign of the eagles renewed commitment to
Speaker 1: excellent special teams play. The six five, two hundred forty
Speaker 1: one pound linebacker has already made quite the impression on
Speaker 1: his new teammate Malcolm Jenkins. You know, he's just a
Speaker 1: freaking nature man. You know, he's he's I don't even
Speaker 1: know how tall he is, but he's taller than me.
Speaker 1: He's a linebacker. But he's runs like a four or four,
Speaker 1: you know, and he's one of those rare fines. Were
Speaker 1: talking about athleticism and speed for his size, So he
Speaker 1: can do stuff that not everybody can do, and I
Speaker 1: think he uses it to his advantage. To go along
Speaker 1: with Braman's obvious value on special teams, defensive coordinator Bill
Speaker 1: Davis believes that he can contribute to the Eagles defense.
Speaker 1: He's a he's a great athlete out that you shouldn't
Speaker 1: fly around, and you always always know where he is
Speaker 1: on special teams and he's picking up our scheme and
Speaker 1: fitting in. Well. He did all right the other night.
Speaker 1: One penalty that you didn't like, but other net bad.
Speaker 1: He had a solid game. You can catch Brayman and
Speaker 1: the Eagles when they returned back to preseason action this
Speaker 1: Friday against the New England Patriots. You can catch the
Speaker 1: game locally at seven thirty pm on six ABC. Thanks Melissa.
Speaker 1: Once again, the Eagles and the Patriots can be seen
Speaker 1: locally on six ABC starting at seven thirty pm. The
Speaker 1: game will also air nationally on NFL Network. Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: dot Com will provide coverage throughout the game, and we
Speaker 1: will also stream the live press conferences of Chip Kelly
Speaker 1: and Nick Foles once the game is complete. Until then,
Speaker 1: I'm Chris mcpheerson. Thank you all for joining us here
