I decided to slip on 95 yesterday to watch the first open Eagles training camp practice of the summer. After getting through some horrid traffic, I finally arrived at the Mecca, Lincoln Financial Field. For the next few hours, I watched the team, and mostly the offense, go to work in the 95 degree sun. Here are some major takeaways:
1. Jordan Matthews looks like an absolute star. It was evident during individual drills that he was just going faster than any other receiver and that carried over when he started facing defenders. He made several tough catches, going full extension for a grab on the sideline as well having a few over the middle in traffic.
