Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio kept the Eagles offense off balance and the defensive front was active and productive on Day 4 of training camp.
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles are done acclimating. On Tuesday the pads will come on , which is always an exciting moment in camp. Monday had its share of excitement as well, so let’s overreact.The defense still doesn’t have an interception after four camp practices, but they made things difficult for the offense, perhaps for the first time consistently this summer. Jalen Hurts was under pressure by a front seven, which was active and flying around with linebackers blitzing from different angles.
Defensive coordinator has done a good job trying to keep the offense off balance with a variety of blitzes, though none from cornerbacks or safeties, yet. On Monday, the defense did a better job executing what Fangio wanted to see. “He's seen a lot of different coordinators. He knows the issues of every offense and kind of knows how to get under people's skin. That's the thing that we love. He's gonna call the best defense he can call to a play. Make it super hard for the offense. We gotta figure it out and we still gotta make the play go.”Brandon Smith is one of four Smiths on the Eagles roster, so standing out may be difficult.
“We've made a push there as far as doing some extra conditioning,” said head coach Nick Sriianni. “Conditioning doesn't have to look like gassers, where they're just lining up on the line and running back and forth. It can look different ways, whether that's in periods, like you see some of the periods that we're doing - I actually got the idea for the period that we're doing from my buddy from high school that he used to do in wrestling.
