All Eagles fans. I'm Chris McPherson and welcome to this edition of the Eagles Update. Reinforced Monday's practice to be moved indoors, but it was an important session as it was the last full workout before Thursday's preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers. While the time on the field may not be extensive, it will be our first opportunity to witness the new look offense after all of the offseason editions of physic order Frank Reich explains what he's
looking forward to seeing most. You know, we're looking for just good execution, you know, good football, smart discipline, tough football. Really just started out, that's what you want to do. We'll keep a simple form. Let him play fast and play discipline, and play smart and play tough. What's the biggest goal for you coming out of the first game? You know, I mean, we always want to win the game,
even though it's preseason. But for us as coaches, there's a lot of evaluation going on in a lot of competition at roster spots, so there's you know, let's win the game, but in the big picture, also trying to put together a fifty three man roster. Thursday will mark the next step, not just for rookies who will be playing against another NFL team for the first time, but
also for veterans like wide receiver Nelson Agilore. Now, the struggles of the former first round pick have been well documented over the last two years, but the watershed moment may have come last season when he was a healthy scratch against the Green Bay Packers. Aglare is at a very strong training camp to this point, but he wants to carry it over to game action, definitely, because at the end of the day, I've been just all building good habits and that's what's gonna carry me come Thursday,
is the habits. I've already built, the technique and I understanding and then my speed for the game. You know, that's what I want to show Thursday and let the plays come from that. Yeah. I really do think Nelson's gotten over to hump and have been had a great spring and a great training camp. You know, he's just making a ton of plays out here. I mean, we're always going to have a miss or two every position does so, but very pleased with how he's playing, making
a lot of plays. You know, when he's on the field. I think the defense knows when he's on the field. I mean he's been he's been a threat defensive end. Brandon Graham made his preseason debut on August thirteenth, twenty ten, against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The former first round pick from that year has come a long way since then, and he offers some advice to the rookies who will be
making their debut on Thursday. Make sure you know what you're doing, and get some extra reps at the practice because you're gonna be tired, because you know, we only end there for a short amount of time and then his day is day lead and um, you know, and when you need a play at the end of the game, it's gonna be about who and who in better shape. And uh, I think, uh, you know, I'm gonna go
with my guys every time. Speaking of the rookies, will hear from them on Tuesday's edition of The Eagles Update, as well as from head coach Doug Pearson, who will reveal the playing rotation for Thursday. Until then, I'm Chris McPherson and thank you very much for joining us on today's edition of the Eagles Update. We will see you tomorrow,
