WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: August 7 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.680 Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. It's week three of the Eagles training 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.720 camp with an overcare complex. Hello everyone, I'm Dave Spidero 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.760 along with Chris McPherson and this is inside training Camp 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.479 presented by Exfinity. The Eagles having their practice on Sunday. 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.360 Not much to report. Chris, I would say the defense 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.440 wins the day, right, I would agree with that. Yes, 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.479 it was a very physical day, but not a tackling 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.920 day if you get my drift. Well, the thing is, 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.000 there's really just today's practice, and then they practice on Monday, 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.360 and then it's really game mode for the first preseason 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.720 game on Thursday. So you'll want to be up the 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.440 players too much. At this point, the grind of physicdic 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.840 campus taking a toll on the players, and this is 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.640 the time when the players are the fight through. But 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.440 at least they'll have to look at the same teammate 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.960 for a couple more days. Finally they can take it 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.040 to an opponent in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.200 night at Lincoln Financial Field. Here. Yeah, I had no 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.240 doubt that the players are ready to go against different uniforms. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.080 For sure. They've been practicing against each other since the spring. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.360 It is time for another team to commit, but that's 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.280 still a couple of days away. The Eagles have practice 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.280 on Monday. Team is off on Tuesday. Wednesday the mock 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:37.040 game as they prepare for Thursday's preseason opener. Chris mentioned 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.600 some of the physical toll on this team, so let's 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.280 get you caught up on the injuries. And the good news, 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.880 of course, is that nobody is injured for the long term. 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.320 But let's take a look at the list. Wendelle Smallwood, 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.040 fifth round draft pick from West Virginia. He's been out 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.880 for a while here, Chris. He is losing some valuable 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.360 time with that quad injury. It's gonna be tough for 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.600 him to make up for lost time. It was very 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.880 interesting when I had a chance to ask Doug Peter 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.040 exactly what a small would have missed during this time. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.960 And the thing is, Piers said, we saw enough in 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:07.960 the spring that we feel confident where he can be at, 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.440 but still you wanted to see him run between the tackles, pass, 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.400 protect while and pad. So from that same point, it's 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.639 surprising that the Eagles are still showing a lot of 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.919 confidence at another young player, Jacory Shepherd, who last year 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.120 lost his season to the torn ACL. He's out with 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.760 a hamstring injury, and that's a setback because Shepherd really 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.400 needs to get on the field in the preseason to 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.880 win a job. Certainly nothing guaranteed for Shepherd with this 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.400 roster and making their fifty three man staff now. Marcus 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.200 Smith's still out with the concussion again, he needs reps 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.200 a question whether he'll play on Thursday. And then some 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:48.320 veterans with Mike Martin, with Jordan Matthews, Jason Peters, Malcolm Jenkins. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.680 We do not know their status for Thursday, but you 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:53.640 kind of get the idea that there's no reason to 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.720 rush them out on the field and take any chances. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.600 Typically the first preseason game and you get the stars 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.200 out there for a series or at the absolute most. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.320 So you pretty much figured that if they're not going 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.800 to be able to participate that much, you're not gonna 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.560 want to risk them on the field. You really want 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.040 to get them ready for those second and third preseason 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.359 games when you have to extend its time for the 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.120 players on the field. So we mentioned Jakorey Shepherd. It's 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.120 a crowded picture at the cornerback position and the Eagles 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.520 are looking for some young players to step up, and 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.680 two who have been in focus throughout this camp. Eric Rose, 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.800 second year man who started last year after Nolan Carroll 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.080 was injured, and then seventh round draft pick Jalen Mills, 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.760 who's really shined during these spring and summer drills. Defensive 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.160 cordinator Jim Schwartz talked about those two players and about 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.400 what he wants from the cornerbacks in general. You know, 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.080 what I like about him is he's very competitive, and 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.440 he comes back. He doesn't shy away from he doesn't 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.040 shy away from contact, he doesn't shy away from matchups. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.800 You need that in the corner. You know, if you're 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.480 on the if you're on the edge and you're not 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.680 and you don't embrace being on that island, you're in 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.080 the wrong business. And you know, you go around here. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.160 I mean, Philly's had great history of some some corners 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.280 that we're on islands that um you know that embrace that. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.600 And I think Jalen has shown signs that he can 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.120 that he can do those things. He's still he's still young, 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.920 he's still inconsistent. He's got his ups and his downs, 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.960 but he comes, he comes ready to be ready to 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.120 battle every day. It's going to be about the production 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.159 of the group. So you know out there there's nothing 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.799 set in stone. Um, you know, there's plenty of jobs 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.760 to be earned. Um. Eric has done a good job. Eric. 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.160 Eric has some very good strengths. He's tall, he's hard 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.880 to throw over top of UM, he can be physical. Um. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.240 I think we've seen that there was a backed up period. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.400 He came up, made a big hit on the on 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.280 the on the flat route, a tight end to the 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.800 flat route that might have been a safety. That's what 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.360 you want to see corners. You don't want to see 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.040 corners back down from tight ends going to the flat. 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.440 And you know Eric flashed those things. You know. And 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.479 again we give it a little ahead of ourselves with 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.960 him being a you know, to much of a season player. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.600 He's got about a half a year or less and 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.360 starting thing. There's still a lot of things he's learning. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.120 Jalen Mills is a very interesting story. Talented kid from 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.200 LSU dropped to the seventh round in the draft in 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.919 May and now he's vying to make this football team. Chris, 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.400 he appears to be on track to make an impact. Yes, 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.640 a heavy player, and Jim Schwartz discussed the mindset, the 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.520 mentality that Mills has. He wants to be out there 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.200 on the aisland. He embraces the challenge and you have 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.640 to love a player like him because he was a 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.800 four year starter at LSU, no small feat in and 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.599 of itself, and he's come into camp fearless, embracing all 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.160 the challenges ahead of him and ray to make a 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.960 move up the depth chart, and he's been rewarded throughout 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.800 the spring and even during times in training camp like 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.200 today when he saw reps with the first team unit. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.720 Jim Schwartz said not to read too much into it, 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.520 but nonetheless they definitely wanted to see what Mills can 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.720 do against the increased competition. And then there's the case 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.760 of Very Row, who last year started the final month 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:06.160 plus of the season big range, covers well, physical, and 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.560 yet in the spring, in the summer kind of lost 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.320 Eric Row bouncing around in the second team depth chart 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:13.840 as they went out to practice in the spring and 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.320 the OTAs and then the early part of training camp. 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.080 Then they put the pads on and Eric Row has 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.320 come alive. He's a physical player, must improve at the 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.839 top of routes. He can run down the field on 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.680 the goal routes, but when receivers change direction, he has 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.160 a difficult time sticking with his receivers. But still rangey, 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.839 good size. Has made some progress here in the last 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.279 week and interesting to see where he fits into the 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.000 hierarchy of the cornerbacks. It looks at this point like 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.480 it's going to be Leotis McKelvin getting a lot of 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.440 playing time. It's going to be run Brooks getting a 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.120 lot of playing time, knowing Carroll's in the mix, and 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:48.919 then I think you throw a blanket over everybody and 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.760 see what happens in the fosseason games. Yeah, I was 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.640 gonna say those three, I would agree are at the top. 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.000 You figure in Mills and Row probably four or five 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.280 at this point. Another name let's throw out there. How 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.520 about Aaron Grimes YEP, cornerback who played in the CFL, 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.360 was an All Star, want a CFL championship, the Gray 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.000 Cup last season for them. You know, he's been making 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.880 place each and every day. And he's a guy who 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.760 came in as a street free agent very early in 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.720 the offseason, kind of an afterthought, not someone who is 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.400 expected to challenge for a roster spot. But he makes 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.720 place each and every day. And the key for him 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.119 now is can he do it in the preseason games 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.160 when all the fans will be watching and all the 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.520 other teams will be taken notice and make it so 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.560 difficult for the Eagles to say, we can't let go 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.320 of this guy, sort of like Denzel Rice a year ago. 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.040 But I mentioned Denzel Rice. There, you have Randall Evans, 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.480 you mentioned Jacorey Shepherd who's injured. So there's a lot 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.800 of young guys in that mix there at the cornerback position. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.240 You have the three veterans there at the top. After that, though, Dave, 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.000 it looks like their Eagles are waiting for some of 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.200 these young guys to kind of take that next step 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.200 and assert themselves into the roster. And that's why the 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.520 preseason games are important. And the first one comes up 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.240 on Thursday night when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers come to 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.000 Lincoln Financial Field. We've got more to get to here 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.280 on Inside Training Camp presented by X. When we return, 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.960 we're talking quarterbacks. Quarterbacks coach John D. Philippo in studio, 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:09.040 he's talking Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel d of course Carson Wentz. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.120 I got tickets Metro tickets. You need a Metro ticket, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.200 talk to me, please, I don't even know he's real 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.600 tickets if you know, just to touch it. How do 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.160 I know the leg? This leather legit? I mean, how 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.640 do we really know? It looks good? Right? No, I'm 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.400 paying myself. I gotta make Does the baby need a 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.199 Metro ticket? I'll give her one on me. These tickets, 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.120 they're not stealing your soul. You can look at them. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:37.719 May nobody wants to buy tickets from a guy on 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:45.480 the street. I don't understand. I enjoyed gardening. I like 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.080 to plant seeds and watch what grows. Several years ago, 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.520 I fell, so I went to my local orthopedic doctor, 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.960 who performed the knee replacement. After a year of a 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.920 lot of pain, I decided I needed a second opinion, 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.400 So I went to Rothman at Jefferson. As soon as 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.600 the doctor operated on me, if I could tell right 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.439 away that things were totally different. Now I can garden again, 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.559 I can kneel, and I'm just very very grateful for 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:20.040 Rothman at Jefferson Hospital. Time to talk quarterbacks with John D. Filippo, 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.360 the quarterbacks coach here with the Philadelphia Eagles. Thanks John 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.120 for coming in. First of all, thanks for having me 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.040 so from the outside. You know, you read all these 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.439 stories that this is a difficult situation. How to the 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.440 Eagles manage these quarterbacks? Wondered from your perspective, now that 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.720 we're into training camp, deep into it, what's it been 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.240 like for you? Well, I think it's it hasn't been 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:40.160 as difficult as everybody says. Very early since in our 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.760 tenure here, Coach Peterson set the you know, set the 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.959 tone early and to find everyone's role, and I think 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.840 everyone works better when they know what role they have. 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.560 And it's been a pretty smooth transition here into training camp, 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.480 and Sam's been good with it and making strides and 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.520 you're pleased with how he's throwing the ball and running 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.120 the quarterback room and doing all that. Absolutely, Sam, Sam's 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.720 a pro. I mean, he's been been around the block, 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.640 He's done a lot of things. He's played out of football. 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.320 I think everyone would agree. Our coaching staff, people are 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.040 fans that have been out the practice at Sam's playing 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.079 at very high level and he set the bar high 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.679 for the rest of the quarterback room and those are 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.719 the expectations that we expect from our quarterbacks. On a 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.000 day to day basis. I think twelve months ago he 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:17.120 was just now able to participate in eleven on eleven workouts. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.120 If you were to take video of him throwing, then 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:24.520 coming off the surgeries and now healthy after an off season, 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.600 would there be a big difference. Yeah. One. The one 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.920 difference that I would see is he's getting his feet 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.840 down a lot quicker. I think he's more comfortable planting 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.240 off his leg, you know, on both legs. You see 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.160 him from a physicality standpoint bigger. I think he's weighed 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.240 more than he's ever weighed since he's been here and 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.880 in his career. I think he's filled out his bodies. 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.480 The first time in three years, he's had a chance 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.520 to train his lower body in an off season. I 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.480 think that's huge for any quarterback. And how about from 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.520 a mental standpoint, John, how's he doing? Assimilating this offense, 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.440 checking at the line of scream? Is doing all the 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.400 things you look for. Oh, he's doing a fantastic job. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.040 And I say, you know, we were nine practices in, 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.320 nine padded practices in and you know he had his 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.480 first turnover today, So I mean, and that's about one 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.040 hundred and almost two hundred throws. So I mean he's 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.440 getting the ball on time, he's delivering it accurately, He's 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.400 making great decisions and doing what we wanted to do. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.760 All Right, We've got Chase Daniel number two quarterback here. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.439 He knows the offense. What are seeing from him on 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.440 a daily basis, Chase has been great. He's been great 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.800 to having the room. He's been great for a sounding 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.880 board from for the other two guys, for the other 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.679 three guys in our room. And he knows exactly what 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.199 what Coach Peterson wants. He delivers the football and when 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.640 Chase plays with himself, he's he's really really good player. 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.200 What kind of quarterback is he? I mean, we really 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.199 haven't seen him. I mean, I know he's got the 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.000 cerebral part down. Is he an athletic guy in the pocket? 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:36.439 In and out of the pocket. I think he's much 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.120 more athletic than people get him credit for it. I mean, 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:39.599 he's not afraid to run the football at all, and 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.600 I think he's shown that in practice. And you know, 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.280 Chase has a lot of really good physical attributes. I mean, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.880 people you look at Chase and he's not the biggest guy, 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.079 but he can drive the football to the perimeter. I mean, 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.000 he's doing a heck of a job and he needs 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.720 to keep doing a heck of a job. Now he 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.120 got the number three guy, Carson. Everybody wants to know 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.640 about Carson on a daily basis. How has he been? 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.560 He's been awesome, He's been great, He's he's he brings 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.439 a lot of energy and juice to practice every day. 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.520 He's the same guy every day, whether he makes a 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.840 mistake or has a good day or has a bad day. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.720 And that's a that's a big thing that is underrated 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.120 when you talk about quarterbacks in the National Football League's 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.360 guys out of the same every day want to get 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.240 better and learn from their mistakes and continue to try 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.080 to perform at a high level. What's the ceiling with 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.319 this guy? I mean, fans watch him and they go, wow, boy, 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:22.960 the wall comes out greating. But he's look at that 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.720 throw and look how mobile is, look how big he is, 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.760 And we kind of want to we kind of well, 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.720 I want to say, what is this guy all about? 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.880 What could he possibly be? Do you think that way? 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.160 You know what we're taking it, what we're trying to do. 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.720 Our approach in the quarterback room is stacking practices back 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.520 to back to back to back. And once you stack 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:41.040 four or five, six, seven practices together and have good practices, 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.320 then you become you be able to take the next step. 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.080 So we're just taking it day by day with Carson, 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.320 with all our quarterbacks and look and get better each day. Okay, 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.320 So you talk about you know, and Doug's talked about 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.960 working with his eyes, working with his feet. So is 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.800 he the kind of kid who you tell him once 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.000 and he gets it better than next time. Yes, he 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.320 is not what we call a repeat offender. Okay, he 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.079 makes a mistake very rarely when you will he make 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.600 that same mistake again. The thing that's been really a 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.439 pleasant surprise, not a surprise, but very pleasant to see 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.400 what Carson is and I told him this last night 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.280 actually in our quarterback meeting is his ability to be 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.920 able to retain information from the meeting room to the field. 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.440 That's a very very positive trait that a lot of 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.280 young quarterbacks don't have. I mean, they need to see 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.760 things over and over and over again. In the beauty 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.480 we have with Carson is he's a very bright person, 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.320 not only in football, but you know outside the building too, 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.800 And that helps him take things from information that we're 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.120 giving him onto the field, and when he doesn't do well, 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.560 does he hang his head. No. And that's one thing 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.560 we coach with our quarterbacks. Body language is playing this 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.760 position is very important. I mean everyone's looking at you, 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.760 from fans to coaches to your own teammates. Everybody in 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.080 the field is always watching you and how you react 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.920 a certain situation. So when there's a situation that we 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.760 have a body language fine like we call it, you know, 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.599 it's pointed out, it's corrected, and that's not how the 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.920 Philadelphia quarterbacks are Philadelphia's quarterbacks are gonna act. John There's 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.120 this assumption under the previus this offense here, that the 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.520 quarterback had to be very mobile the read option get 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.480 out of the pocket, and that there wouldn't be as 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.080 much movement here. When you watch practice, though, you see 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.760 quarterbacks rolling out, quarterbacks running. How much mobility is required 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.960 in this offense. You know, I don't think you need 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.760 to be a tremendously fast, but I think that you 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.559 need to be able to change launch points in this offense. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.080 And that's the first thing you look for. You never 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.360 want the quarterback just to be standing eight yards behind 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.560 the center every time. I mean, the defense is just 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.360 tee off on you then, so we're going to change 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.040 the launch points to the quarterback and getting back to 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.280 the athleticism part of it. You know, I think the 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.280 beauty of our offense is we have plenty of bullets 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.320 in our gun to adjust our offense to the strength 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.360 of our quarterback, whoever happens to be playing at the 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.680 game at that certain Sunday. So that being said, I 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.720 think obviously at the quarterback position you loved as athleticism. 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.600 I think all four of our guys on our football 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.080 team right now have enough plenty of athleticism to have 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.160 success in this offense and to make it run how 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.600 we want it run. John, what's it been like for 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.640 you to be in the situation to coach three players 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.840 and four but two of them one to number one 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.760 pick overall in the draft ones and number two pick 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.800 overall in the draft. I mean, there's a lot of talent, experienced, youth, 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.840 and kind of got everything in that in that pot 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.480 of quarterback. It's been great. It's been great because number one, 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.480 all those all those guys are great people and they 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.960 make it great. So it's been It's a joy to 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.680 come to practice every day to work with our coaching 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.600 staff and work with our players, and it's it's been 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.840 an awesome time so far. And for the three quarterbacks, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.240 Sam and Chase and Carson, the reps have been pretty 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.800 evenly spit split start to finish, they've been almost all even. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.680 And any sense on Thursday night you have, do we 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.600 know how much they're gonna play? You know, that's up 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.560 to coach. That's up to coach. We've talked about there's 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.800 nothing set in stone yet, but you know that will 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.520 get as a week goes on. That will you know 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.040 that situational iron itself out? And what do you look 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.760 for next? What's the next challenge here for those guys 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.080 going against Tampa Bay's defense, something not as familiar with 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.320 what they've seen for the last four months. Sure, our 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.360 goal is for all those guys to move the ball, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:49.920 and that's what we're looking for, is for them to 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.760 move the football and get us first downs and third 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.320 down conversions. And I think it's that time in camp 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.600 where I think everyone's ready to play another team and 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.360 you know, quit hitting each other and hit somebody else, 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.720 no doubt about it. But the quarterbacks, hey, I mean, 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.680 people who watch it, the guys in red are leading 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.160 away for the offense. We all can't wait to see 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.640 it on Thursday night. Me as well, looking forward to it. Thanks, 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:16.560 thanks for coming in studio here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com.

We've only got a couple of days left 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.280 here before we get to the preseason opener. What is 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.280 in store tomorrow Monday, when the Eagles get back on 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.359 the field. Well, if you somehow missed that one on 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.520 one with John d Philippo, we will have the on 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.320 demand full interview available first thing tomorrow morning for you 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.960 on philadelphils dot com and the mobile lap and d 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.000 Philippo was great in the interview and he's worked some 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.960 magic with some quarterbacks over years, Carson Palmer, Derek Carr, 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.560 Josh McCown. Last year even had one of the best 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.520 year of his Johnny Manzel. You wanted to say it, 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.359 you wanted to say it. I was got a gloss 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.520 over that one right there. So hopefully Eagle works in 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.879 magic with the guys here in philadelph including quarterback Sam Bradford, 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.520 who will meet the media for the final time out 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.439 of Thursday's preseason opener. We will stream that live around 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.560 eleven am here at Philadelphi Eagles dot com and then 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:15.280 our feature the Journey. The first episode was tremendous, following 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.359 the journeys of Carson Wentz, the first round pick, and 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.959 sixth round pick Blake Countess. Tomorrow, it's gonna be linebacker 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.280 Jordan Hicks, third round pick a year ago who was 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.520 not expected to make an immediate impact, and we all 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.120 saw what he did in his rookie season tremendous until 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.840 it was cut short by injury. And also running back 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.919 Wendell Smallwood, who in some ways could potentially be this 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.359 year's Jordan Hicks as long as he can get healthy. 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.960 We talked about the injury situation earlier in the show. 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.359 He's someone who you know, maybe initially you look at 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.240
