Training Camp Report For 04 August

[rjs246]

Every blue blooded sports fan on earth has considered getting into sports journalism and wish that they could quit their real jobs to do it.

Yet somehow, Spudz gets his job. That just proves that life ain't fair.

He's a grown man and still talks about 'when he first became an Eagles fan.' You're supposed to be taught that shtein from birth, ass. Don't taunt us with your 'memories' of 'becoming' an Eagles fan. He's really the only one I hate. Jerk.

He's really the only one I hate. Jerk.

yeah, i'm jealous of him too.

Another excellent report Phreak, thanks! 

Ever consider getting into sports journalism?

Thanks, bro.

Yes, I have. And I am ever-so-slowly working towards getting there. It's a hard field to get into. Hopefully I'll catch a break in a few years after I get a degree. Then I can steal Les Bowen's job.

By the way, I wonder what happened to Sean Scott. He had some potential but I guess he just couldn't stay on the radar long enough.

?? He's a SUPERSTAR for the Philadelphia Soul. You really didn't know that?

btw which has been the main field so far...the farthest one to the left as youre facing them all from the merchandise tents??

[MURP]

I was worried I picked the wrong field, but I got to see quite a bit of stuff.

maybe it has changed since I was there last, but every time i've been up at camp I just went to the field where the crane was that had the video guys.

They've rotated each day, bro. The fields are in terrible, terrible shape and coming up in chunks. The first day the main field was field #3 (the one right when you walk out of the tent with the WYSP bleachers. But after the morning practice they filled up 6 trash cans full of divots, loose grass and dirt.

Yesterday they were on #1 & 2 with the main action being on #2, that's the one over by the VIP tents by the hill.

When you come out of the tent there is a sign that they put up telling people which fields they'll be on.

MURP,

I tried doing that but the sneaky bastiches moved the cranes yesterday. Some clown comes out in his brown van blaring classical music and unloads the cameras (some dopey kid was hanging out of one of the doors opening and closing an umbrella to the beat of the classical music.)

How does Andrews look specifically in pass blocking?  That was one question mark coming out of college.  Everyone knows he can knock people around especially in the run game, but can he get back on his heels for 4 quarters and dominate the same way when he is constantly backing up in our pass happy offense and still dominate like he does in the run game?  How did he look there?  As we all know the rumors are for him to be a starting tackle someday, possibly in the next couple years.  Will he be able to handle the speed rushers, does he look good in pass protection vs. mauling people in the run game?

Sal Pal gets TO put on the front page of ESPN.com

I hate this guy already.

Now, during practice, players do not come up to him and volunteer conversation. He walks on and off the field by himself, staring straight ahead, ignoring fans and cameras. Last year, he roomed with McNabb. This year, he's rooming alone.

Ignoring FANS? He's been playing to the fans the whole time from MANY national articles and local ones as well (and actual fan reports). Wtf is this guys' problem?

[RomeyRome]

I think his main point is that it is different from before, there is more distance between TO and the fans/players when comparing to the all out love fest last offseason.

No, its not. All camp long he has taken bits and pieces of interviews from players and distorted them. He twisted Trotter's words on the situation so badly on his camp report on TV, that he made it seem like Trotter was siding with TO and Had major issues with McNabb. He failed to even mention that Trotter is rooming with Darth and McNabb. 

So, no. That's not his main point.

By the time you're ready, Les Bowen will be worm food.

I agree with you 100%, Sal Pal has gone to shtein he is always trying to start up stories.  I am so sick of ESPN trying to drum up the TO crap why aren't they talking about Westbrook or Ward?
