Speaker 1

It's transition for you being on the other side of the rivalry. Do you feel like yet, I do? Yeah, I definitely do. I've been here for a couple of months and um, becoming part of this team and UM, great team, great group of guys, great group of coaches, and a great organization. So UM. Like I said, I definitely feel like an eagle, and UM, working with these

guys has been been been amazing, So I'm happy. Yeah, you're always upset when you don't get the chance to go out there and compete and you know, really um, you know, take a little pressure off the other guy. So UM. Obviously UM, as a comparitor, I wanted to be out there but just didn't happen. Very No, I don't. Let's just do what I'm told, face up criticism, especially

espial rush. I can't be a part of some theory. Honestly, I don't know why, UM, but I it's just part of the part of the deal, you know what I mean. When you're doing something good, there's always gonna be credit. So UM. And I don't look I don't look at it this. I guess hatred or someone say anything bad. I just kind of really don't pay attention to it, whether it's positive or negative. I just you know, continue to work hard and try to improve as much as

I can. But um, you know, things happen and things are said. But like I said, nothing's personal, I don't think. But I just got to move on with your life and not worry about things you can't control. Going on. Do you think that hard because of your running style? As I know, what stop talking running straight for where you're not really going out of the way the same way the show, it's way dripping around the field that you're going to be job done fantastic ways. Really don't

because I don't listen. Yeah, I'm not a big flashy guy. I don't you know, bring a lot of attention to myself. So I think, you know, some people may not like that. Some guys respected it, but you know I've always been that guy. Won't change it for no one and show him I'm practicing what's your practice having? Yeah, I just try to work extremely hard, you know. Um, obviously this in this offense, you've got be in great shape and um, since I've been here, I've been in you know, great

shape and best shape in my life. Like I said, as far as cardio level and strength and um. But you know, I just try to work out as as hard as I can throughout East drill and work on something you know that pertains to that drill, not just out here running ball plays and doing that. But I'm actually, you know, kind of in game mode in every situation, every series, and I'm trying to better myself and better the group around me. This offense saying all sorts of

records over the last few years under hip Kelly. Obviously there's a lot of changes. You you look at the quarterback situation, receiver situation, I know what's early, but when you look at what you guys have out here, do you think this can be just as explosive and maybe eat it whore? I definitely do. I think we got playmakers across the board. Obviously, the offensive line is um.

You know, those guys in the playing a long time together and they got a lot of a lot of camaraderie and um, you know, just to add then a couple of new players, but it's not young players. A lot of veteran guys who played in this league who's had a lot of success and in different ways. So

I think we're we're going about the right way. We're out here competing every day against each other, against the defense, against ourselves, So I think we're giving ourselves a good chance to win and be um and be goodformation the first couple of days, Sam Bradford, how's your looking? Thinks? He think he looks good? Um, obviously he's um. You know, it's working hard, he's trying to compete at a high level, and um, he's zipping the ball. And you know, you guys,

probably no more than I do. I don't pay attention to him too much, so I'm not here trying to do my job. But then he looks good for the most part. Sometimes that's just the way it goes in terms of your your workload yesterday and practice. Do you foreseeing more days like that going forward after? Yeah, that's side of my control. Like I said, it's not up to me. I don't know when I can You know when I will go, When I'll get more or less reps,

that's up to Deuce and and and chips. So you know, yeah, yeah, man, I thought I got a lot of good work in And you know, like I said, you always want to be out there as much as you can and um, and try to compete at a high level. But um, you gotta be smart too. It's training camp. You got a long season ahead of you, and um, you just gotta you know, not taper it down, but really gotta get good work in instead of just crazy work. You gotta ask those guys, I don't know what do you want?

You obviously are different practice situation where with the Cowboys, I don't think they ran it's quickly, Sis, how did you feel it's being your first real practice with the Eagles, you can handle what you made through before. I thought the work boat was, um, you know, kind of equal. Obviously you can be on the feel for a certain amount of time, but then just the tempo here and how fast you get going is a little bit different.

But um, I've always kind of been in good shape and pride pride myself when't been in the run all day. So obviously it's different, but just the tempo and things of that nature is a little different. How do you this steaming tax injury from viginating in a different way

previous stops and what ways and kind takes. Yeah, like I said, um, they have a lot of stuff that um, you know, you get a chance to really improve yourself, you know, not just on the field, but off the field, and make sure you're fresh every day and make sure you're mentally ready as as well as physically. So we got a lot of extracurricular things that we're allowed to do here that they give us great resources to do. So definitely not something for me exciting. I love to

take care of my body. I love to try new things, but um, they definitely give us a hand up here what I do. I got married to the little time off and you know, obviously worked out in terms of the playbook where you out of it and feel like a good knowledge of analogus. Oh yeah, I definitely feel like I got a good grasp on it. But like I said, it's been I don't know, three months or whatever the case may be, but M constantly learning and constantly trying to figure out what the receivers are daling

quarterbacks and thinking in certain situations. So I don't like just to know my position. I'd like to know what everyone else is kind of doing around. So that's why I gotta kind of take a step back and really focus on myself a little bit to like get all of that and they're worried about, you know, what everyone else is doing. What do you see that? Yeah, I think he's a He's a very smart coach and on the way he runs the offense, he finds ways to get guys the ball, and um, so many playmakers on

this team. Um, you just gotta everyone has to go on the same page and um, you know, and just gotta make a guy miss here or too or you know, hopefully the defense may bust a coverage or whatnot, you know, as far as the temple, but I think, um, you know, obviously he knows how to get guys the ball in space and he puts his in great positions. How you and Bradford and everyone else, even the offensive line. To get into that point, it's gonna take a couple of

preseason games. Or do you think you'll be able to get that out here as you start getting here? Yeah, definitely, once we get the pass on it to be a little bit more intensity and we'll be able to really tell you know what. I don't know what the situations are, but you know, as as the days go on and you get more reps and you get a field for guys, you watch film together and kind of get a sense of you know, what guys are doing on routes and

depths and whatnot. So obviously, you know, nothing is more important than the game. But um, you know that's when you're a really bit of tell. But practice will you know, definitely give us an upper hand. I'm trying to, you know, get ready for the season. You have a preseason formula for how many touches you to the coaches, you know, whatever they decide to give me. M Like I said,

it's up to them. You last year, do you kind of contually think about that when you're working out because of the man touches you had last year in the preparation you need to be able to do it again in a short period. No, I never think about it. Um, you know, obviously last year was last year. I'm far beyond that, moved on and um, you know, like I said, I just try to make sure I'm mentally, physically and emotion ready to you know, handle whatever they throw at me.

And whatever I'm just they may occur, Um, but I'm definitely not worried about how many touches I get, how many touches I've had, and um, just just constantly trying to work hard and and and you know be the best you can be. Thank you,
