Training camp is two weeks old so there is stll time for redemption for some players, and what about the undrafted rookie free agents?
PHILADELPHIA – My top five most pleasant surprises of Eagles training camp have already been revealed . Now, it’s time for my top five disappointments. The good news about this is there are still weeks to go to turn disappointment into success.It’s been a relatively quiet summer for the free agent. The Eagles are hoping he can be a three-down player, rather than a pass-rush specialist. Last week, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said he wasn’t there, yet, but think he can get there.
“I’ve always had the mindset that I’ve been a good run stopper,” he said at the start of camp. “I just plan to come out here and put my best effort on the field every day.”Where have the interceptions been? Will they magically appear once the preseason begins in Baltimore against the Ravens on Friday?
Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is a ballhawk and had six on his first trip through Philly two years ago, so he needs to get going. It’s not just interceptions, but completion percentages have been off the charts good, and that probably needs to change.The rookie hasn’t taken a single rep in camp after suffering a hamstring injury just before camp opened. The Eagles are still high on him being able to contribute this year, but for a rookie to miss three weeks to start his career is not good at all.
