It's the star of another work week, but we've got you covered with this edition of Inside Training Camp, presented by Exciting I'm your host Chris McPherson. And while the Eagles players are off on Monday, we've got a lot to recap from the first weekend of full squad practices. We'll have highlights from the Majestic Military Appreciation Day at Lincoln Financial Field, the fans first chance to see the
team in action in the twenty seventeen season. We'll also meet a mammoth of a man in guard, Chance Warmack. But first on today's show, two of the members of the Eagles broadcast team that will bring you the preseason games, Dave spar and Mike Mayock, had a chance to chat about some of the players they've seen thus far in camp,
and there's one rookie who's caught Mayock's eye. We welcome you to Eagles Training Camp twenty seventeen here at the Novicare Complex, Eagles insider Dave Spidero, along with Mike Mayock, NFL Network, and of course the color analyst in our preseason broadcasts, which Mike are well rid around the corner
and believe it, no I really can't. I mean four consecutive Thursday nights, and I think the highlight for me for the for the entire training camp will be Week three, not just because the starters play, but because they're going to be practicing with the Dolphins Monday and Tuesday, which is a great week to really get a feel for both the veterans and the rookies with three days of intense competition, and then we can overreact like we did two years ago. Braden. Listen, Mike, It's it's great times
here in Philadelphia. Second year of Doug Peterson, second year of Carson Wentz, a lot of new faces out here. How do you think the Eagles did in the offseason. I thought they had a great offseason. You talk about what they've done just in the last two years, and getting Carson Wentz in the building, and what it took to get Carson Wentz in the building, the ability to then spend Sam Bradford and pick up a first round pick that you lost when you trade it up. Some
of the moves they made in the offseason. I'll tell you the draft itself. Love pump Free. Interesting, why I'm starting to love him. I just can't imagine a one hundred and seventy five pound kid in the NFL. But then I see that he doesn't drop any passage. He's got incredible quickness. He had almost twelve hundred touches for one hundred and seventy five pound running back at San Diego State. So think about it. It's not just his quickness or his explosion or his ability to catch, his durability.
He didn't miss a game basically for four years. He touched the ball, as I said, three to four hundred times a year and didn't get hurt. So you're not only talking about hey can catch the ball out of the the backfield to line him up in the slot, but you're talking about toughness. And when you add him all up to me, he's intriguing. Do you see him in the Tyreek Hill kind of role with this? What role? Do you see him in a move kind of player? He's Tyreek Hill is faster, straight line, I mean Tyreek
Hills four three all day long. Pumphrey's quicker, you know, quicker than fast sometimes. And I think the role that I would see with him offensively is he's a chess piece. And I think what Doug Peterson and Frank Reich are gonna love is that all of a sudden, you've got Sprowls, You've got this kid, You've got you can change the pace and go with le Garett Blunt talking about offseason moves.
So I think, all of a sudden, if I'm a safety or a linebacker and I see Sprowls and Pumphrey in the huddle, I'm going on though, because I don't know if they're both lining on the backfield both why one each? It's it's it's a great Jess piece. Is Deegle's offense ahead of the defense? Now do you get do you have a feel for who might be more advanced at this stage? I don't know which unit's gonna end up being the better unit. What I do know
is they both got better and that's what's important. And you know, we talk about Carson Wentz all the time, but last year he didn't have anybody to throw the ball to. Watching seventeen runaround, yeah, that's pretty cool. All Sean Jeffrey catches everything. That's a game changer. Zach Ertz, Burton, Pumfrey, Sprowles, All of a sudden, Tory Smith, you've got a different looking offense out there, and defensively, I think the front seven will compete with anybody. The issue is on the
back end at the corner basin. I was gonna say, what are your concerns for this football team? It's the corner position, and in all conversations for this team are going to come back to that. You got ten guys that have been signed within the last fifteen months. They don't have anybody that's a veteran outside Patrick Robinson and Jalen Mills. Is the only guy's even started a game as an Eagle corner? Yeah, yeah, Well you learn on the job, dude. There's a lot of learning to do
at corner. How do you cover it up? If you're Jim Schwartz. Jimmy's a great coach and his philosophy he's four down, We're gonna rush with four We're gonna protect the back end a little bit. And I think when the four down rush is so good. The addition of Journegan again another offseason move, Derek Barnett, the first round pick Chris Long, They're really gonna be good upfront. How good is the Seagull's offensive line, Mike, in your opinion, we see a lot of raves about the old line.
Isn't that good? It's really good. And obviously Lane Johnson has to play sixteen games, which he hasn't done often. Jason Peters has to play like he did a year ago. Sayamalo has to step up. But there's some depth now Chance Warmack. You know, I think he's pretty interesting with Newski, you know, as a backup, all of a sudden, there's seven or eight guys, and I think that's it's not just your starting five, it's how good are you seven or eight deep? And I think the Eagles are pretty good. Mike,
what is your theme for the preseason? What do you want to see from this football team? Just I'm the Bill Belichick school. I don't worry about how many wins at the end of the season or the end of the preseason. I want to see this team get better every practice, every snap, and carry all the way through the season. And if you do that, winds take care of themselves. Mike Mayock, thanks so much. Played seeing you and we'll see you August tenth, Eagles at the Packers
lambeau Field the preseason opener just around the corner. Thanks for joining us at Alabama. Chance Warmack was a part of not one, not two, but three national championship teams. In fact, Warmack's offensive line is considered one of the greatest in college football history, and it was coached by Jeff Stalin. Warmack was a top ten selection of the Tennessee Titans and started forty eight games in his career. He signed with the Eagles this offseason and is trying
to rejuvenate his career once again. Coached by Jeff Stalin, Warmack is a subject of our Eagle and focus. I just wanted to think the Eagles organization of having me here. You know, this is a great opportunity. You know, I'm happy to be here, happy to be in Philadelphia. I know so much about the city, great history here, great fans, and you know, I'm just I'm just exciting. The ready to go. Chance Warmack offense from guard coach out Man was this influential for me for a long time, since
I was a play in college. He knows how to get it out of you as a player going to the next team. I really take that into consideration just because I know what he can do for me in times of my skill set and how I can play on his team and running this scheme a chance and now he had a lot of success together in the past. I know Chance like the back of my hand, and I know where to start. I know where his ordabilities are, and I know where he needs to do. I'm excited
about getting back with. What I'm hoping to learn from the other guys is basically just their experiences. You learn from experience as the best teacher. I always saying, you know, it's a lot of older guys on the group. Anything new that I've ever seen on the field, whether it be a new front or new player that I'm not familiar with, I'm always asking men as the questions and just trying to get better. As a football player, you want to be the best at everything that you inspire
to be the best of everything. So just working on the little tip bits of everything to play. Taking meat, the cars, its hand signals everything well. I'm trying to bring to the Egels organization. It is just my explosive mens, my toughness. You know, I love contact and just being efficient. I want to be as efficient as possible. Every play passed, ryn play action, any type of player that's being thrown at me, I'm trying to be efficient at it, playing this year in philadel and I want to prove that
I'm a good player. You know, I'm a great player. I know that personally within myself. But I've always had to prove others, you know, about my capabilities ever since high schools, on the college and even in the league. So there's nothing new for me, you know. I just keep plugging at and keep chopping the wood and succeeding what I want to get. If you weren't at the open practice on Sunday, we'll forgive you. Just stay tuned as we'll have some of the highlights right after the break.
I've been an athlete for as long as I can remember. In the summer, I was taking long ride and when I looked up, a tree had fallen across the shoulder of the road. And when I came to, I couldn't feel anything below my neck, and I thought my life had changed forever. I was hell of act to Jefferson Hospital and the Rothman doctors did an emergency procedure and fused the vertebrae in my spine. Now I'm back on
the bike. I'm enjoying myself and it's all thanks to the Rothman doctors at Jefferson With simply right checking from Santin Deir Bank. Just make one deposit to payment with drawn or transfer each month to wait the monthly feet and there's no minimum balance. You're all right it simply right checking from Santan Deir Bank.
