PC Recap

[dargonking999]

Hey guys the PC is shecduled to be in about 15 minute hopefully we'll have some more news about spears injury then

[mullet]

I am sure Bill won't have any final news at his PC. I am sure we will get the old 'getting an MRI' line.

[Nors]

I feel like I just got punched in the stomach

[LaTunaNostra]

I feel like I just got punched in the stomach
Settle down, my friend.

Bill will find a way.

[Chief]

I feel like I just got punched in the stomach

Good.

'Cause I feel like punching someone in the stomach.

Wanna get together?

;)

[Yeagermeister]

I never realized the ticket was being literal when calling the show BAD radio.

[TheHustler]

When asked about the injury, BP said "I don't know. I don't want to speculate. I don't know."

[TheKey]

Scan on Spears' knee
Well know in a little while
Impressed with Rodgers work and is doing alot better than last year
When Petitte gets back on field Vollers will move back to right

[TheKey]

TheTicket is buffering

[cobra]

With the technology in this world, can't the Ticket broadcast an entire press conference without technological problems?

[TheKey]

I have no clue, it is still screwing up. Its not my computer either.

[Kilyin]

Their server is probably getting absolutely pounded by high traffic.

That's not what he said.He said Shanle was ahead of Bradie in pass coverage skills. Shanle is playing a different position than Bradie.
Shanle is playing behind Dat at weakside LB, O'Neil is behind Bradie on the other side.

[WoodysGirl]

:bravo:

Getting the hang of it now huh? :DFunny, I wanted to pat myself on the back too... :)

-------
Thanks for all the recaps, guys.

[bigDfan]

I don't think any injury to spears means it's time to scrap plans for a run at the playoffs. Our best feature thus far in training camp is our depth chart. The other guys will tow the line until he returns. We are NOT the iggles. NO one man makes or breaks our team.

[Yeagermeister]

Funny, I wanted to pat myself on the back too... :)

Thanks for all the recaps, guys.
Don't hurt your arm ;)

Thanks for clearing that up. Has a completely different meaning put like that.

[Kilyin]

Parcells said he'd want Brian Dennehy to play him in the 'movie'. Kevin Costner and his dumb arse questions. No real news on Spears yet.

[LaTunaNostra]

Funny, I wanted to pat myself on the back too... :)

-------

You deserve it..it's been a while since merge has been as well applied, and I have noticed things are being put in their rightful places more..like the Image and NFL boards. I smell a 'woman't touch' already.

Bill just made a wisecack 'off stage' to a laughing loudly Canty. "what do you want, Canty?" He got that mad look on then smiled in spite of himself. Something else I smell - favorite.

Talking about Chris, never had an end as angular and linear. Compared him to Too Tall physically. Should be able to bat some balls down. Also compared him to a Jets end he had who batted balls down a lot - Shane Burton (physical resemblance ends there).

[Hollywood Henderson]

I wonder how long it will be until Shanle takes over for "too Small" Dat?

[InmanRoshi]

We have to get a scan on Spears. He had someone fall on him from behind. We’ll get a scan on his knee. I don’t know. We’ll know here in a little while.

Concerned about the WRs?

I’m concerned about every position. I think we have a couple of young guys that I’m expecting something from, and they can help us with our depth. Glenn is healthy now. Quincy is showing up in practice a little more.

Is it kind of disappointing to see Spears hurt?

You don’t like to see people get hurt.

What were impressions before the injury?

He’s got good potential, but he needs a lot of work.

Jacob Rogers

Impressed with the offseason and how he’s started off camp here. Much better than last year.

Rogers has been working 1st string for the last 4-5 days. Does that mean he’s claimed the job?

No, when Pettiti gets back on the field I’ll get Vollers back on right side. That was good for Vollers to play some on the right and left, because that’s what he’ll have to do.

So, you had Ratliff playing behind Spears behind Coleman?

We don’t have anyone else. Im not going to move anyone over right now. We got to see what the deal is with Spears .

If Spears had signed early and made it to the first practice, would he be the starter?

I’ve purposely not put everything together yet as far as the first string. I’m not trying to fool you guys, but I think as we get close to the 2nd preseason game you’ll start to see that take shape.

Chris Canty?

Doing alright. Still going slow with him. We’ve let him play the past couple of days on some light stuff, working on the passing game and stuff like that.

Scrimmage breakdown?

I think we’re going to have a little walk through in the morning. I haven’t finalized it yet, but I’ll say maybe 10 plays a series for 8 or 9 series.

Is there a big difference in defensive end in right vs. left.

Right end is in the left handed stance. The left is in a right handed stance. That’s really the only difference. Lineman always has the inside foot back.

Julius.

Good skill. Maturing as a back. Changed his mentality for the better. Conscious of situations now. Just doesn’t run the plays now, but understands concepts better. The best thing that he does is that he understands when to take a chance and when not to.

Rotate the QB’s tomorrow?

A 3rd of the time for each of them. That’s what we’ve been doing in practice. Everyone has had equal snaps all week.

Script plays for tommorow?
No.

Commitment tougher mentality. See improvement?

Let me see when the duress starts. Whole lot of things compose the chemistry of a team. If someone knew what the forumula was to create chemistry on a consistant basis with different teams, you’d be pretty successful. But when you have a different group of characters that you have to alter for each different group. You have to stress the things that will get you beat. Yesterday we had some redzone plays, and we had 2 fumbles and an INT in 20 plays. You can practice as hard as you want, but if you don’t pay attention to those things you wont win in this league.

How are the inside linebackers doing?

I think Shanle is doing every well. He makes plays. I like him as a player. I as far as the experienced guys I got 4 MLB: Dat, Bradie, Shanle and O’Neil. Then I have a group of younger players. Fowler’s been showing up lately. When you make your roster its finding the right combination of your best run defenders, pass defenders and special teamers. You find a balance out of those groups. If you have a real good run defender, you wouldn’t put him in on nickel situations but you might want to have him available for when you play a power running team.

So is Shanle better than James in pass coverage?
I would say yes, but they aren’t playing same position right now. I have him behind Dat, and O’Neil with James. But those two positions are relatively interchangeable.

Larry Allen?
Doing alright, but has a little rust. Conditioning seems to be okay.

(Couldn't quite hear the question) Are the days gone by when you drafted a player and groomed them long term?

Overall, there are certain things that fit into “those days are gone” category. But, there are vehicles available to you to improve your team. Its something you have to stay on top of and be astute with. These days you have to prioritize as to what you want to do. What appears to be a glaring need to someone in the media may be not in the organization or coach’s mind be as important as some other need. That’s not saying that both needs don’t exist, but you have to prioritize them and then find an opportunity available to you. That’s the hard part … to coincide what you need with what’s available. I do judge our team vs. Philly. A perfect exaple would be Anthony henry. I saw him play against Plaxico and TO on film last year. That was big, for me.

What do you think the gap is between the Eagles and the rest of the division?

I don’t know, this is a different year. Just going in, there’s a substantial gap. 3 teams below .500 and 1 team that won a lot of games, but those things have a way of changing quickly. SD made a big turnaround last year. It can happen. It can happen the otherway too, and its not always due to bad coaches or management, but sometimes its circumstances that you can’t over come.

In your order of assembling team where would you put your priorities?

I believe no team can be successful without a good defense. I think defense is the key to any sport. Any sport. I would prioritize defense first. I do agree you won’t win in the NFL without QB play. I would say it doesn’t have to be great QB play. You see evidence of that from time to time in the league. Not great, but plays into the strengths of that team. But I don’t think any team is going to make it all the way without a QB making plays to get them over the hump on some sort of consistent basis. Not on a weekly basis, but just at the right times. I think an example of that would be Trent Dilfer with the Ravens.

Oxnard.

I do like this training site. I haven’t been off the campus. I went to the beach the night before the players got here, but I haven’t been in a car since training camp started.

With what you’re asking Bledsoe to do this year. How to you get him to balance his gunslinger nature against staying in the framework?

That’s my job to go over this stuff with him, and get him to fight human nature once in a while. There will be times when he doesn’t do it. But, I just think I have to try to keep the onus on the team, and not on him. You have to do that.

Buffalo claims part of the reason they got rid of him is he made too many impulse decisions.

I don’t know if that was a factor, but I believe I can alter that. I’ve had him before where he didn’t do those thngs. Now, you won’t go through as season and not have a few of them. There’s never been a QB in the league who didn’t. Its just when you get to the point where they’re killing you with them .

Kenyon Coleman?.

This is a defense that had less angle blocking against it, and its more of a physical and powerful strength type defense. He has that. He’s a powerful guy. Its a better scheme for him.

Would you say you’re surprised at how well he’s done in it?

I would have to say I’m somewhat surprised. Its going pretty well for him.

Would you say you’ll keep less DL than last year?

I would normally say more LB’s, especially 3rd down rushers, but that’s something we’ve been discussing. You never know how its going to sort out. I hope we have enough to keep.

You said you approach to the team differently every year? What have you changed this year?

I’ve changed how I approach my team. I know I have. I know what I’m going to insist on and what I’m not going to put up with. I knew this was going to be a working camp, and I would get things in order as best as I could from an improved mentality and a better schooling of the players. More meetings and more attention to detail in them. Less talking about it on the field and more doing it.

Lots of flags thrown by the refs in practice.

I told them to be a nitpicking crew. I do want the players conscious of the officials and the new rules. I can tell they are interested in their job. We were practicing the free kick yesterday, and the official says “That’s the first time I’ve seen a team practice the free kick in 10 years” That made me feel good.

Rule changes unfair to defensive players?

Not so much defensive players. Its hard to just judge the rules by itself without knowing the other factors involved. For example, something that has really gotten important in the last few years is the time of the game. A lot of what they do is to keep the speed of the game up. A lot of the new rules this year are meant to take away the choice of a penalty or a re-kick. Its really eliminating another kicking play. They’ll say “Well there are too many injuries in the kicking game”, but its really just a veiled justification for trying to speed up the game. I’ve always felt that we should keep the “foot” in football, because it’s a key part of the game. If you’re superior in that part of the game then it should be an advantage to you. So anything to diminish special teams I’m against.

Canty remind you of anyone?

I can’t think of a DL I’ve had that was angular and linear as he is. I’ve seen some on other teams. Too Tall Jones. Sean Jones. He should be able to bat some passes down. I had a kid named Shane Burton, couldn’t get off the LOS but he would bat down 10 passes a season.

Kevin Costner said you needed leading man to play you in a movie. Who plays you?
Ask me something important.

It is important. Who would play you?

Probably Brian Denehey.

He already played your buddy Bobby Knight.

I don’t know what we’re talking about.

[Cbz40]

Thanks IR......Great job as always

[Nors]

So is Shanle better than James in pass coverage?
I would say yes, but they aren’t playing same position right now. I have him behind Dat, and O’Neil with James. But those two positions are relatively interchangeable.

[pancakeman]

Thanks Inman Roshi for the great recap.

[dargonking999]

grat job as usual Roshi, i relly hope soemone can provide us with a recap of tommorow's scrimmage i think we allwanna hear how that goes

[Cbz40]

Agree......That would be nice.

[Chocolate Lab]

I wish there'd been a follow-up on why Shanle was behind Dat and not James. James is playing the more physical of the two ILB spots, but his backup is not the similar Shanle but instead the small and quick O'Neill? And you like Shanle a lot, but you put him behind your best and most proven ILB in Dat? I don't get it.

[AsthmaField]

That really aggrivates me. I can't believe reporters would ask such penny-ante crap when we want to hear how the players are doing, how the camp is coming along, who's hot and who's not, how Parcells intends to implement different aspects in camp, etc.

Just stick to football. You know?

He said in the PC that the real depth charts and positions won't be in place until after the 2nd preseason game.

Putting James on the strong side adds size to that side, remember Burnett and Singleton our SOLB, and it forces him to get better in coverage.

I wonder if that was JJT who asked that question, Lab? Maybe he saw where you wanted him to ask about the LB's and asked it.

AF, at least they learned to save the nonsense to the very end, as Bill is looking at the clock..

[AsthmaField]

That's true LTN... still, there isn't any place for those kind of questions once football starts. I'd bet that a certain grumpy New Jersey native would agree with me too.

[Hollywood Henderson]

Chocolate lab:
It seems "Too small" Dat is slowly sinking...(As I thought he would)

Shanle is going to be a better player in this scheme and I caught that Folwer is also making strides...

James will be a star in the 3-4!

Dat would be best served on D as a Nickle/dime backer and ST player...

[BrownSugar]

Good.

'Cause I feel like punching someone in the stomach.

Wanna get together?

;)
You are so funny. :laugh2:

[BlueStar II]

Nors, I feel exactly the same way, i.e., the punch in the stomach.

[DWAREZ]

Word is Torrin Tucker rolled up on him via Engel not that is matters who :(

[Chocolate Lab]

Oh yes, I understand that thinking... It just seems to me that with James spitting the bit last year, you'd have your next best and most comparable prospect behind him in case it happens again. Now, if James has to be replaced for poor play or injury, we'd be putting in a guy smaller than Dat at that spot.

Unless Hollywood is right and this is a stealth plan to replace Dat. ;)

But you're right, things can change, and I wouldn't doubt if they did.

And AF, maybe he did read it... But more likely, questions about every other position had already been asked and LB was the only one left. :)
