WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: Episode 1

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone, and welcome to Inside Training Camp presented by Xfinity.

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm Eagles insider Dave spread Arrow along with Chris McPherson,

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>and we welcome you today one of Eagles Training Camp

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen. You know, I wish I had dyed in

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>my hair green like Jail Mills. Yeah, we're not really

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 1>in that we could do, but still just to get

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>into the festive spirit. Yeah, he made a very good

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>first impression today amid the heat ninety degree plus temperatures, humidity,

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>just a lot of energy at the Novacare Complex in

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the shadow of the Democratic Now Convention, South Philadelphia is

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 1>the place to be and we are the place to

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>be here at the Novacare Complex. It's Inside Training Camp.

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>We're live every day that the Eagles have practice here

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>this summer of twenty sixteen. A lot to get to

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Chris as the day was dominated, of course by the

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.199
<v Speaker 1>quarterback talk, no question about it. I mean these first

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>few days of the rookie and selective at practices allows

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the coaches to get adjusted to the schedule. It gives

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.119
<v Speaker 1>the rookies a chance to get their feet wet before

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the veterans come in. And last but not least you

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>have all four quarterbacks, yes, four quarterbacks on the roster.

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Allows them to get their arms warmed up and ready

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>for when the veterans come in and the real practices

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>get going. The pads go on starting Saturday, so allows

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks time to get raised. So of course with

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the names there, they've dominated the headlines here on day one,

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>day thirty eight players in camp. No wild proclamations, just

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>some quarterback talk to get to and we'll do that

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>right now in our sounds of the day. You know,

0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>we will focus on the twos and three's probably a

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit more early in camp, probably give them the

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>bulk of the reps and then and then ramp the

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>guys up who who we think are going to be

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the starters opening day. We'll get them more reps towards

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the end of camp. A little different scenario than we

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>had in nineteen ninety nine. You know, Donovan really came

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>in as the number two. Different scenario this year, so

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, right now, we're just gonna get Carson as

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>many reps as we can, get him caught up, get

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>him to where he needs to be. I'm very comfortable

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>with and excited where where Sam left OTAs where he

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>came in this year. Right now, Chase as a solid tube.

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.119
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we're gonna have to wait and see

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>what happens down the road. You know, even in Kansas

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.799
<v Speaker 1>City with Eric Fisher who was injury injury and then

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>had a full offseason healthy going into the Caesars is

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>tremendous boost mentally, physically, the whole thing. And I know

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, I know that's where Sam's at. I

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>know that's the mindset coming into this this camp, is

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.079
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he had an entire offseason, could get

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>stronger're getting away do all the things that the guys

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>were doing, and just give you a boost a confidence

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>going into the season. I mean, I think you guys

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>expect like a big like raw raw, like someone who's

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>like yelling at people every play, and that's just not me. Um,

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think there's a lot of subtle things

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that you guys probably you know aren't privy two or

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>can't hear from where you guys are at. But um,

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I said, I just try to be

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.839
<v Speaker 1>myself and take control when I need to. I think

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>obviously going through it before, you know, having seen so

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>many offenses. Now, you know, I've seen a little bit

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>of everything. Um, you know, so even though there's some

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>new plays in this offense, I would say a lot

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of the concepts I've run before, you know, the verbiage

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>is different, the way we call things is different, you know,

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>so kind of reprogramming your brain to the way we

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>do that. It's the tough part. But you know a

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of the concepts are are fairly similar to concepts

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>that I've run either last year in the past. So

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of Doug and there's a lot of

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Sam and how much more clear can we be here?

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Sam Bradford, the starting quarterback, Chris will all of this

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>quarterback chatter eventually fade away. No, of course it's not

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>going to. You know, Doug made it clear that Sam

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 1>is number one, Chase is number two, and Carson is

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>number three. But still because Doug is being asked about

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.679
<v Speaker 1>how he's going to break up the reps during training camp,

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and he said, well, the backups will get the early

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>reps and then later on in camp, when the regular

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 1>season gets closer, the stars will get more of the action.

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Then all of a sudden, it's like, well, you didn't

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>say Sam in that instant. So it's like any opportunity

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.679
<v Speaker 1>that Doug doesn't flower, say, Sam is a guy, someone

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>in the media contingent is going to try to take

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that and mean, oh, there's a possible opening, there's a

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>crack there that Carson might be able to win a

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>starting job at some point here. But the thing is,

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.119
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have this time here and then what happens

0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason game. If Carson Wentz lights up on, well,

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>that's what we're going to talk about, and that's why

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna watch. And the Eagles have made it very

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>clear from day one. Sam Bradford the quarterback, Chase Daniel

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 1>number two, and Carson Wentz the developmental future of this

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles franchise. Speaking of Carson Wentz, we will hear

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>from the second overall draft pick in the two thousand

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and sixteen NFL Draft when we return to Inside training

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Chris McPherson. It's inside training Camp presented by Exfinity, and

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>we've been talking a lot about the quarterbacks and of

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>course Carson Wentz, the second pick in the twenty sixteen

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>NFL Draft. You wonder how the young man is handling

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>all the attention, all the questions, all the pressure. What

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>We've got an answer for you. Our Alex Smith sat

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>down with Wentz after Monday morning's practice, a little one

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>on one on Smitty and Carson Wentz. Higels, fans and

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>welcome here to the Novacare Complex. It is day number

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>one of Eagles twenty and sixteen training camp. I am

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith, and I'm very pleased to be joined today

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>by the number two overall selection in this year's NFL draft,

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Carson Wentz Carson. Before we get into anything on

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the field today, you had that six week break in

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>between Mini camp and today. Did you go into that

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>with a game plan? I'm sure it had to be

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different for you being your first year. Yeah,

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>it was a different offseason for me. Was kind of

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I was back home time, I was out here some

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>we had that week in San Diego getting together, so

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of still a whirlwind. I was kind

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>of all over the place. I'm excited to finally kind

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>of start getting into a routine. But it was a

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>really good, really good break. You know, I used it

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit to just get better and refine some

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>of my mechanics and my footwork especially, you know, even

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>though I was traveling a lot, I still emphasize that.

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>So overall, it was a good offseason. You talked about

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>going back to San Diego going out there with the guys.

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>What was that experience like for you just just to

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of stettle linning and get to know these guys.

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 1>It was really good. You know, it was good to finally, um,

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, get to know these guys a little more

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>so off the field, um, and then obviously on the field,

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>gain some timing down and uh and everything. So um,

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>overall was definitely a success. It was good to be

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>out there with those guys and I enjoyed it. Do

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you find yourself itching to get back to football during

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that break or do you need that downtime? I think

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you need some But you know, I'm I've I've been

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>chompling at the bit for a little bit. It went fast,

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>but you know, as the summer was winding down, I

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>was I was pretty excited to finally just get into

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the routine and get back to football. I have to

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>believe that the last few months have been a blur

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>for you. Have you had time to enjoy any of it?

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.319
<v Speaker 1>Or has it just been go go go all the time? Um?

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I've had some time, but it's it's been a lot

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>of go go go. Um. Still trying to get used

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>to used to all this, and UM kind of been

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>still been, like I said, traveling all over so UM,

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I haven't had a ton of time to really just

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 1>let it sink in and enjoy it. But you know

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't. I'm not complaining about it at all either,

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. So now camp is here. You report

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>it yesterday with the other rookies quarterbacks, some of the

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 1>selected vets. What was the message from the coaching staff

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>upon the start of camp here? Yeah, you know what,

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the young guys, the biggest thing is like, just get

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>better every day. A lot to learn, you know, a

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of us have you know, went through the spring

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>workouts and everything, and now over the summer had some

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>time off to let it soak in and um, now

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.439
<v Speaker 1>it's just really just executing on the field and just

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>keep learning every day. UM has been the best message.

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>And the biggest thing is competing. You know, we got

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>a roster of ninety guys now and obviously you guys

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>know we got to cut it down. UM, So competition

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>is huge and the coach has done a really good

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>job and instilling that in all of us. You mentioned

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>executing out on the field here first day back, any

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.959
<v Speaker 1>rust or did you did? Were you happy with how

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>things went today? You know, I felt pretty good. You know,

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>there was a limited number of reps and everything for

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>for everybody. You know, we didn't have a lot of

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 1>guys out there. Um, but you know, I felt pretty good,

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>felt pretty confident, and I enjoyed it. Are there specific

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>things in your game you're trying to work on after

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>you got feedback from the coaches after Mini camp and

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>all that. Specific things we're trying to work on here. Yeah,

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just some mechanical things and footwork things that I

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>really emphasized over the summer um, and I do think

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I got better in those areas, and um, now I'm

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>just gonna continue refining those as the season goes. And

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>but no, I feel pretty good with that. Did you

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>set any personal goals going into this camp? I know

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>it's your first one, not really str exactly what to expect,

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>but any personal goals of what you want to accomplish

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>in the next few weeks here? You know, nothing really specific.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I just want to get better every day. My biggest

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>thing is, um, you're never finished product, you know, physically, mentally,

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>none of that. So there's there's a lot to learn.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can never watch enough tape, you can

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 1>never study enough, and I just want to come out

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 1>every day and just learn a little bit more, learn

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more, and get a little bit better.

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of camp, I think I'll like

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>where I'm at. It's kind of hard to believe, but

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>that first preseason game is getting closer and closer. Yeah,

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Is that going to be a major hurdle for you

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>or is that a date that you've had circling your

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>calendar for a long time. Um, you know, it's exciting,

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>but I've always been big and just taking it one

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>day at a time, So obviously I'm aware that it's

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>it's right around the corner and coming quick m So

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>it is exciting, But at the same time, you know,

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>we got a long way to go, even just to

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.959
<v Speaker 1>get to that point, so I'm trying not to get

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 1>ahead of myself. Carson Wentz, thank you very much for

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>joining me here. Thank you, enjoy the rest of training camp.

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, and thank all of you for joining us

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 1>right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot com and on our

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>official Eagles mobile app. Thank you so much, Alex. Just

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>a few months ago, Carson Wentz was all the way

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.479
<v Speaker 1>in Fargo, North Dakota, and now he's here in the cauldron,

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>both literally and favorably, here in Philadelphia, the backdrop of

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic National Convention Training camp kicking off here, Dave,

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>what are you looking for from the first round pick

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>in his first camp? Yeah. I think Doug Peterson really

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>made that point clear today when he talked about making

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>progress and preparing to be a starter should something happen

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>with Sam Bradford and with Chase Daniel, and that's really

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>what you want to get to, slow, steady progress. They're

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>working on the nuances of the game with Carson Wentz,

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the footwork, the eyes, reading defenses, making defenders go away

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>from where you actually want to throw the football, things

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>that Carson didn't do so naturally in college. So this

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>is the NFL. The defenses are going to be very,

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>very complicated when the regular season comes, and I think

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>he's just want to see regular their progress, hard work,

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>and if he's called upon this year, he's got to

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>be ready to go. All right. So after this quick

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 1>commercial break here on Inside Training Camp presented by Expanding,

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna let you know what to look for on

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles dot com in the coming hours and the

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 1>next day to get you ready for day two of

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>training camp. Stay tuned. Everyone. Growing up, we had a

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.199
<v Speaker 1>basketball hoop in our driveway and that's all I used

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to play with this past August, I happened to notice

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the pump on my foot, so my parents and I

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>decided that we would go to Rothman at Jefferson. We

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>found out from a biopsy that I had an osteosarcoma cancer. Scary,

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 1>but the Rothman doctors felt so confident in what they

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>were going to do, and it couldn't have turned out

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>any better. The Rothman Institute at Jefferson was able to

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>get me back on the court and back to where

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be. Love me tender, love me sweet.

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>The stronger the love let me go, the greater the responsibility.

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>But you don't have to do it alone my life.

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln Financial helps you provide for and protect your financial

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 1>future because this is what you do for people you love.

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Talk to an advisor Lincoln Financial, You're in charge. Welcome

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 1>back to Inside Training Camp, Present it bikes, Fanny so Dave.

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Day one is in the books. We talked a lot

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>about the quarterbacks. Maybe we'll move on to some of

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the other positions. Well, I can tell you this inside

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>story here. Nobody want a starting job on day one

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.439
<v Speaker 1>of training camp. Okay, that's about it. Nobody got hurt

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight players here. Everyone who was expected to be

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>here was here, and I think everybody pretty pleased with

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.319
<v Speaker 1>day one. As we move into day two, Jim Schwartz

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>takes the microphone as the Eagles defensive coordinator discusses his

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>plans for that side of the football. I've got a

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>column that I'm working on that I'm putting up, Chris.

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>It's about the Eagles rookie class. I know Carson Wentz

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>likely not to play this year, but the rest of

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>this rookie class I think can make quite an impact.

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Who are you leading off with, sayamalo A Wendale Smallwood?

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>And how about seventh round draft pick Jalen Mills. He's

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>more than a great hairstyle, he's also got a chance

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>to earn some very serious playing time. And of course

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you and I will be back tomorrow pursue more inside

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>training and that Carson Wentz interview available on demand on

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles dot Com. Inside Training Camp returns as well.

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>We thank you very much for joining us today. For

0:14:34.000 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Chris McPherson, I'm Dave Spiderow. Have yourselves a great Eagles day.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>There to the part of the first p
