WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: August 1

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>We've got a lot to get to on this episode

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>of Inside Training Camp presented by Exfinity. It's Monday here

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.199
<v Speaker 1>at an Overcare complex and I'm Eagles insider Dave Spiderow

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>along with Chris McPherson. The Eagles had a ten ten

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>ten practice on Monday morning. What does that mean? Well,

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>it was an opportunity to run through plays for the

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>offense and for the defense and for the special teams.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>We don't talk about the special teams at all until

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.319
<v Speaker 1>the preseason starts days. Yeah, there's some big battles there.

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>There's some big battles important there this season. And I

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>predict that the kickoff game will be back in the

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 1>NFL better than ever, more kickoff returns than ever. Teams

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>are not going to kick the ball into the end

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>zone and have it set up your say. I've been

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>talking about that the entire spring. Is anybody out there listening?

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. Anyway, today we've got to talk

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>about the offense because Frank Reich met the media, Sam

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Bradford met the media, and the topic was wide receivers.

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Whether you believe it, Yeah, I mean we've been talking

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 1>about it old since nineteen ninety nine, when Andy Reid

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>came to town and won a lot with some lesser

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>receivers like Todd Pinkston, like James Thrash, like Freddie Mitchell,

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 1>and then not until CEO came to town did the

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Eagles breakthrough and reached the Super Bowl. Well. Offensive coordinator

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Frank Reich meeting the media on Monday morning talking about

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the wide receivers and mentioning last year's number one picked

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Nelson Agalore and what he's shown thus far in camp.

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>It's still early, but it's good. I mean, everybody's got

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>a receiver group has a lot of energy. One of

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the things you look for a receiver group is an unselfishness,

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, because that's the way you get better. The

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>ball doesn't there's only one ball, and there's you know,

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>there's three four guys going out for a route. So

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>we want to be able to evaluate every play all

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the time, whether the balls come into them or not.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>And so and I've always found over the years that

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>you can get a lot out of evaluation even in

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>a short period of time. And I want to see

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.239
<v Speaker 1>an unselfishness just in their attitude and you kind of

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>pull them for the other guys. And an excitement and energy,

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and then there's always that part of the evaluation processes

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>can you run all day? Can you run all day?

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>And can you go when you're tired. So that's that's

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>what we're in the process of getting into right now.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I think there is some I think there is something

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>too that you know, you see that in receivers, and

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of that is just a confidence

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and the game slows down and those two go hand

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>in hand. So we've said it all off season. You

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>know that that's our expectation of Nelson. You know, one

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>thing that does pop up on the film, even just

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of practices here with the pads on.

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>He's got a quickness off the line of image. He

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>has some vertical speed to challenge you deep and he

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>just has very good footwork. And in this league, you

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>have to be able to eat press coverage. You have

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to have to have to eat press coverage, and he

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>had and he has a natural ability to get off

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 1>the line versus press. And he's got to be able

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to use that to his advantage to help our team.

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And that is offensive coordinator Frank Reich, And we are

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>here to talk about the wide receiver position one that Chris,

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's fair to say lacks a true number

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>one receiver, but there are some candidates that can do

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different things in this what I believe

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>will be a versatile Legal's offense. Certainly you mentioned Tara

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Owens earlier, and there may not be a TEO, but

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it's to be harder for defense. Is the

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>game plan for this offense because of the fact you

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know who is going to get the football. Jordan

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Matthews offers a lot out of the slot, even though

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you'll see him at times on the outside. Chris Gibbons,

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>added in free agency, provides a little bit speed on

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the outside of home run threat. The Eagles want him

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a better on the inside so they can

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>move him more around the formation. You have Josh huff

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>entering his third NFL season. He's someone that they're trying

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to get the ball in his hands on jet sweeves

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and bubble screens because he can do a lot of

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>damage with the ball in his hands. And then Rube Randall.

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 1>He's been a proven playmaker in the NFL, and I

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>think he was a little hurt that he only received

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a one year deal in free agency, and I think

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>he has something to proof here. So this offense is

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver group may not have the quote quote true

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>number one, but I think it has a lot to

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>offer as your game planning against defense this season, Dave.

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>And then there is Nelson Agilore at the number one

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>draft pick in two thou and fifteen, a disappointing rookie season,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>a high ankle sprain, just twenty three receptions. It has

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>not really been a smooth ride for Nelson agil but

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>he's shown some flashes here in this training camp and

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>has actually been quite consistent catching the football. Quarterback Sam

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Bradford talked about Aglare about what he's brought to the

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>table and the chemistry that they are developing in year

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>two together. We've all seen Nelson's physical abilities. I mean,

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 1>he's explosive. You know, he's got a lot of quick twitch.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's there, he separates at the line, he

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>separates at the top. You know, I'm sure you could

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 1>ask him, but you know I could imagine. You know,

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>anytime you're a young player, doesn't matter what position you're playing.

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I think there's still part of that process where you know,

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 1>you're thinking a lot, and I think, you know, as

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>he gets older, you know, as he gets more experienced,

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>as he sees more looks from defenses, you know, I

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of that will probably be cut out

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and he'll go out there and he'll just naturally react

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to things. And I think, you know, hopefully he can

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>start doing that. But you know, I think he's shown

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>some flashness, that he's made some plays where you know,

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>he could really help us this year. So what can

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>we expect from Agalore in year number two? Well, when

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles drafted him in the first round of last

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>year's draft, they've talked about how explosive he was with

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the football in his hands after the reception. We didn't

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of that last year. We've seen more

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.159
<v Speaker 1>of it. I think Chris in this training camp, no

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>question to me, Dave. The biggest thing is, I think

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>we've been spoiled by how some rookie wide receivers have

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.919
<v Speaker 1>performed around the NFL. You look at Jordan Matthews and

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 1>his first two NFL seasons. Typically, wide receivers need that

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>year to mature, to get acclimated to the speed of

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and adjusted to opposing defense and what they're

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>going to present. I really like the addition of wide

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>receivers coach Greg Lewis and what he's instilling in this group.

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I just like the offense at Doug Pearson and Frank

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Riker bring it. I think you're going to see the

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>players move around the formation more a wider variety of routes,

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>so defenses can't key in on what the receivers are

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>going to do when they're out there on the field.

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>So I think from maturing in terms of his performance

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>as well as the offense, I think big things can

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>be expected for Aglore in year two. I think the

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>theme for the wide receivers is competition. Everything is open

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>at this point. No starting jobs guaranteed, although I would

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 1>certainly say that Jordan Matthews the leading candidate and the

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>most productive, the most accomplished receiver as an Eagle among

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 1>this group. So we'll see. Gotta be consistent. It's the football,

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>got to be reliable. We've got a bit of ways

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to go here in the month of August, says the

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Eagles tune it up for the September eleventh opener against Cleveland.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>We've got more to get to here on inside Training

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Camp presented by Exfinity. When we return, we're going to

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit about a new feature that we have.

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>It's called the Journey. It's something you're not gonna want

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>to miss. Love me tender. We can like many, but

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>we can love only a precious few, because it is

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>for those precious few that you have to be willing

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to do so very much. But you don't have to

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>do it alone. Lincoln Financial helps you provide for and

<v Speaker 1>breakthroughs that are light years ahead. Dave Spernaro, Chris McPherson.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>We are back here at that Overcare Complex, and you know,

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>training camp is a wild ride. Whether you're a rookie,

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>whether you're a veteran, and we're going to chronicle here

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>in the series that we call The Journey, which debuts

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>right now, featuring quarterback Carson Wentz and defensive back Blake Countess,

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>two rookies trying to navigate their way through some foreign land.

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>So all starts today. Camp is upon us. Fantastic to

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 1>see the Eagles back training camp, back the Birds trying

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to get ready for the season. Oh my god, ray,

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>it changes that this franchise has made since last season.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>New coach, new GM, new face, new attitude. Is this

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>roster the better than the roster that end the last season?

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it is. God, it took a long time

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to get there, but we finally have football, and there's

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>always an optimistic all right man, welcome back again. Hey,

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I hope you guys had a great break, much needed rest,

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.599
<v Speaker 1>get away from everybody, had a chance to relax a

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.959
<v Speaker 1>little bit, and hopefully you came back ready to go,

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>eager and excited for this two thousand and sixteen, this

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>upcoming season. Congratulations, I'm happy to have you over. I've

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>honestly approached things the same way my whole life. You know,

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 1>it's just take it one day at a time, try

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>and get better every day, you know, block out all

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the noise. Don't worry about pressure, expectations, this or that,

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>um and you know, at the end of the day,

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:38.959
<v Speaker 1>as long as I'm worried about what I can control of,

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>things will things will turn out the way they should. Oh. Absolutely,

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a chip on my shoulder, you know, coming into situation,

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a blessing. But you know, I think of myself

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>more than a sick round or so it's definitely a

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>chip on my shoulder, and I'm just coming in to

0:10:52.120 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>prove for my work. I like what I've seen from

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Blank Countess in the back end. And my message to

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>these guys too, to the young players, is that special

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>teams becomes a big, big part of their success, especially

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>early on in their careers. How do you love? I

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>see myself happening the team in there in every aspect

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that I can, and that will be on defense than

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that special teams. So I'm looking forward to that, but

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I definitely think I'll be a factor one buy what's

0:11:40.440 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>on your memory. We got a long camp ahead of us.

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 1>We got a lot of work to put in and

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, the biggest thing on focus on is just

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>helping helping his team get better, getting myself better. And

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I can guarantee that whenever my number is called ever ready.

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you gotta stay focused all the time. Um

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, it might seem monotonous, but at the same time,

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>we're focusing on something different every day. You know, we're

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>learning something new every day. So for me personally, there's

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 1>always something to learn and something new. Um. So, so

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>it's been it's been really positive to have Carson Wentz

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>basically rich sure if he's a tire rookie yere, well,

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>we don't know it'll be his entire rookie year. We

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>can't speculate that far out, but going into the season,

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>there's a good chance it starts that way. So, uh,

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, right now, we're just gonna get Carson as

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>many reps as we can, get him caught up, get

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>him to where he needs to be. You know, there's

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>just ins and outs of the offense, and I'm going

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>on the field and coming into the meeting room just

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 1>talking with the coaches and other quarterbacks. Just little things

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 1>that I think you can kind of change with how

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>you read things and little progressions that I think I'll

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>continue to learn and get better with that. Have really

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>showed me some things that have been good. They go,

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 1>good ball, Sam, See how he hung on the post

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>there a little bit, and back shoulder them. You've been

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>running right in that safety here you go. Good, good,

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Give the inside a chance right outside down stay low

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>there and I'm out. Stay low. That's better, Carson, much better,

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>much better. It's way to stay lower. That's a good move,

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>too good, too hands much better than yesterday. Much better.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, We're out of here. We're out of here.

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.839
<v Speaker 1>We're out of here. Everything about camp, just being around

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the guys all day at the facility, coming back to

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.679
<v Speaker 1>the hotel, being around them as well. It just all

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, is really positive for the team. Creates a

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of good bonding and all those things. So so

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>far it's been really good. This is new for everybody,

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and we kind of get to know each other a

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit better. Um you see guys, your conversation, things

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>like that. So it's definitely helpful just because we're all

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>in a new environment. You know, at times, you know,

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you gotta you gotta think of the end goal, and

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that's um, you know, the games that are approaching, but

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, there's there's so much to learn

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>every single day. You know, we're all in this together,

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and you can't get occupied thinking too far ahead. Well,

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you keep your big picture in mind, but it's all

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 1>about the little things. To do the little things right

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>and a stack of days and you'll be where you

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>want to be. And I'm a firm believer in that.

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Just take pride in doing a little things well and

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, you'll be where you

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>want to be. Raised up there from our Eagles Network

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>crew with the Journey. Can't wait to see future episodes

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. After this quick commercial

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>break here on Inside Training Campers ended by Xfinity, we're

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna offer a quick preview of our one on one

0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>interview with middle linebacker Jordan Hicks. Hi. I'm Bo Allen

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 1>from the Philadelphia Eagles, and this is the Alan from

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Bob's Discount Furniture. We named it after Bow. Thanks Bob,

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you're the man. It packs some serious power, power repline,

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>powerhead rest and USB ports. Get the sofa, a console,

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>love set in dark chocolate or light brown, and untouchable

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>value at only seven nine each. I don't know how

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you do it, Bob, But man, do I respect it?

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>You know? Players should respect that for big games. Nope,

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 1>we swapped jerseys. Growing up. We had a basketball hoof

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>in our driveway and that's all I used to play with.

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 1>This past August, I happened to notice the bump on

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>my foot, so my parents and I decided that we

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>would go to Rothman at Jefferson. We found out from

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>a biof seed that I had an osteosarcoma cancer. Scary,

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>but the Rothaman doctors felt so confident in what they

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 1>were going to do, and it couldn't have turned out

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>any better. The Rothman Institute at Jefferson was able to

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>get me back on the court and backs where I

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be. Dave's Finnaro along with Chris McPherson. Players

0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 1>are off on Tuesday, but we've got a lot of

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 1>store for you here, including this one on one interview

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>with the middle linebacker Jordan Hicks. A revelation in his

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>first year in the NFL, and of course he endeared

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>himself to Eagles fans by sacking Tony Romo and giving

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>him that carbone injury, and later on in the season

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 1>at Dawas returning the interception into the end zone for

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a pick six. One of the team's most prolific playmakers

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>until suffering that season ending pectoral injury, he is ready

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to go here in twenty sixteen, and here's a quick

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 1>snippet of our one on one interview conducted by our

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 1>own Alex Smith. That's to me, that's my favorite part

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 1>of the game, just because you know, it's so mental.

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm a fairly good mental linebacker. You know,

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody who's able to think, put things together quick process,

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what the offense is trying to do, and

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, based off the game plan. And you know,

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's my advantage and I think I do

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good job at that. And so you know,

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>when I get the opportunity to be in that situation,

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, with Coach Schwartz being able to have that

0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 1>type of faith, that type of trust in me to

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 1>really put some stuff in my hands to make certain

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>calls at certain times. You know, that's that's the game,

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the chess game that I love playing with

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the offense and being in that position. Thank you very much, Jordan,

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and thank you Alex. Now you can watch that entire

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:38.199
<v Speaker 1>interview on Philadelphia Eagles dot com on Tuesday, and also

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 1>last year's last year's third round pick, we had the

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.719
<v Speaker 1>journey with first round pick Carson Wentzon, sixth round pick

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:48.959
<v Speaker 1>play countess that will be available on demand tomorrow Philadelphiagles

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.640
<v Speaker 1>dot com. It is a player's day off, but there's

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>plenty of content for you to check out Philadelphiagles dot com,

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 1>including Dave your update on some key position. It's a

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 1>bit early, but we've got a preseason game coming. The

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.959
<v Speaker 1>pads are on, the tackling will start, and there's some

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>key roster positions to talk about. Offensive line, how about

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 1>defensive end, how about the place kicker job. We've also

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.160
<v Speaker 1>got to figure out how it's going to sort itself

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>out at cornerback and at the wide receiver positions. So

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot to think about as training camp gets turned

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.680
<v Speaker 1>up just a bit in terms of intensity and certainly

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.919
<v Speaker 1>the physical play in the week ahead, and he teas into, uh,

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.399
<v Speaker 1>you gotta wait till it's live. There we go for

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Chris McPherson. I'm Dave Spidero. Well, thank you for joining us.

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 1>An inside training camp presented by an ex Afinity. We're

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 1>back on Wednesday, as the Eagles return to the field

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>at the Novicare Complex, have yourselves a great Eagles Day.
