They have better things to do, I'm sure.
Teams go to an extreme these days to try and give themselves an edge, especially against a division rival that’s coming off a Super Bowl appearance. Who knows, Jerry could have someone keeping tabs on their training camp. As a fan I certainly wouldn’t be interested in watching their camp practices, but to each their own.

Clearly the mole is Rambo.

A lot of fans on here should. The ones that claim Howie is running circles around the Cowboys.

I'm sure McCarthy and Co will be happy with Rambos notes on the Eagles practice from Youtube lololololol
This coming from the guy who has posted over 22k times on this message board. You and Risen constantly bash everyone... it gets old. Why try to insult someone who's actually doing some research and trying to contribute to the board?

Training camp practices can be somewhat boring, because players are basically just going through the motions. They’re glorified walk-throughs. When it comes to practices, I focus on the Cowboys. I keep tabs on our rivals when the games start.

I was visiting up in South Jersey and was invited to a practice. I could give a detailed report on what I saw.

I see it differently. Eagles don't seem to be going through the motions and that's what separates them from the Cowboys. Cowboys players seemed entitled while eagles feel like they got some thig to prove even though they won the division an went to superbowl.

You’re taking my comment “going through the motions” wrong. Every team is trying to keep their starters healthy. No one is tackling in training camp. Everyone is pushing their players as hard as they can without injuring any of their starters. Training camps are different these days. The first week of training camp is basically shorts and T-shirts under the rules. Players are getting more days off. With limited rosters and a 17 game season you can’t afford to injure a key player in training camp or in preseason. Every team is trying to stay healthy for the opener.

I think players can work hard while not being on the field. To say players going through the motions is disrespectful. I would rather have players spend more time in the class room then on the field. Several teams do it this way anymore including the eagles.

The eagles are feeling pretty good about themselves. They have everyone and their brother telling them how great they are, and the media is just kissing their butts left and right.

Also, if defensive coordinators have figured out how to stop their QB from running free through the secondary, their playhouse is going to burn down. Their passing game and their defense all came easy because Hurts ran for first down after first down. Passing windows were wide open and the defense could just pin their ears back to rush the QB because teams weren’t ready to play that system with a running QB, leading to a ton of scoring for the Philly offense.

You better hope defensive coordinators haven’t figured it out.

What actual real word activities, events, behaviors or the like do you see to justify this take?

Do you think defenses have figured out how to stop this offense cause I don't. Teams should have stopped them in 2022 after 2021. Eagles are a solid team with playmakers making them dangerous. A let down with all those playmakers is unlikely as they are are still getting better.

No, I’ve never watched an Eagles practice. Cowboy fans aren’t obsessed with the Eagles the way the Eagles fans are obsessed with the Cowboys.

Read reports from winning teams like the Eagles Bengals and Cheifs. Limit field time and increase classroom room time.
