WEBVTT - Eagles Update: A Morale Boost

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>We all Eagles fans. I'm Chris McPherson and welcome to

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>this Friday edition of the Eagles Update. The team had

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of fun during today's later session. Head

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>coach Doug Pearson gave the players an opportunity to get

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>out of meetings this evening. All the pressure was on

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Jason Piers and Fletcher Cox to each field up punt

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>from Cameron Johnson. If they did so, then the players

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>would get the night off. Well, the veterans came through

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>in the clutch. I think Doug he was trying to

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>explain something about curfew. Didn't get the memo, but I

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>just know I had to go back and catch the ball.

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>So I had no idea what was behind that. So

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>bottom lines, wasn't mean that because you and Fletcher came

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>up with the big clutch catches, you guys get the

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>night off. Yeah, I think we get an extra hour

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>or no, I don't. I really don't know, to be honest,

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Why did you take a name? Didn't you think you

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 1>could run with it? Or no? I lost in the sun.

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I was just trying to get up on its been

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>has been about ten plus simple as years. Were you

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>ever a returner. No, I just thought back, you know

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>you gotta yeah, yeah. Well, Garrett Blunt returned to practice

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>on Friday after missing three days due to a family

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>related matter. Blunt had a career year in twenty sixteen

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.680

<v Speaker 1>rushing for over eleven hundred yards and scoring an NFL

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>best eighteen touchdowns on the ground. Here in Philadelphia, Blunt
