Eagles 2006 Training Camp

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I look foward to the reports. Always good stuff.

An excerpt from one of Phreak's posts from last year for those of you who haven't seen them:

An overcast day up in Lehigh that eventually turned into some pretty heavy rain and storms. Practice was cut short by about 30-45 minutes because of the threat of lightning.

- Jamaal Green was limping today and eventually couldn't go. He sprained his foot yesterday and he came out in full pads went through some DE individal drills and then had to sit out.

- Sean Considine did not suit up today (shoulder)

- Sam Rayburn did not suit up today (elbow)

- Bruce Perry did not suit up today (concussion)

- TO did not suit up today (groin) and stayed inside to have treatment

- Josh Parry sprained his knee on a pass

- Trent Cole looked pretty hurt after he tackled Westbrook on one play. I t looked like his shoulder, but I couldn't tell. He was down quite awhile and was then walked off.

- Ryan Moats knocked himself out and had a concussion today. He lowered his head to take on Jeremy Thornburg when coming up the middle and gave himself a concussion. He sat out after that play.

- Justin Jenkins came up short on a pass down the sideline and sat out towards the end of the practice. It looked like either a cramp or a pulled hammy.

1. Ryan Moats had the longest run of the day. He broke off a 50+ yarder and was movin'! He took off around LT and turned upfield and was gone. He eventually was caught when he slowed down to wait for the WR to block downfield. When he was caught from behind - he fumbled. Mike Bartrum recovered, but Moats was not carrying the ball securely enough. He looked more worried about going to the house than if he was being chased and it cost him a fumble.

2. Billy McMullen was very good today. He made a great catch over Sheldon Brown on the left sideline on a crossing pattern. Detmer lead him but Sheldon jumped and got a finger on it, then Brown tried to knock it down but McMullen grabbed it out of the air and took off.

3. McMullen also had several other nice catches where he used his body to shield the defender and make the grab.

4. Reggie Brown also had himself a nice day. He beat Dawkins on a beautiful slant pattern. They were doing 3-on-3 drills and Dawk was up against Brown. Dawk tried to jam him and Reggie shook the jam. He then ran the slant and Dawk tried to undercut him and INT the ball, but Brown kept him off and hauled in the catch. Very nice indeed.

Phreak, do you sit there and take notes?

there was a big article in the wash post travel section yesterday saying that if you plan to fly this summer and even for the rest of the year best to get your tickets sooner rather than later as prices are going to soar because of gas costs

What date did they report to Lehigh last year?  It was the shortest camp yet last time no?

Last year's camp was the first I missed in about 8 years, since we went to Florida & by the time I got back, camp was almost over.

It started on July 30 & ran to the public only until August 13th, barely 2 weeks.

Yep - I was reading an article where the kook in Iran was threatening $110/barrel oil prices this summer if sanctions were imposed.  Delightful.

My ass will be vacationing in my back yard if that shtein happens.

If I can make it happen and flights aren't too silly, I'm definitely coming up this year.

Training camp is always a fun experience. Hopefully I have a chance to make it this year. I remember in 2001 I was there everyday. But hey, I was in high school with nothing to do and it was right down the road - I have to go.

Miss Universe last year (I think) was from Australia.  And she was hot.  And her dress fell down revealing her thong and it RULED.

Go Gocong!

Phreak, do you sit there and take notes?

Yep. I take a little notebook with me and jot down stuff in shorthand so I don't miss much action. Then when I get in the truck and wait for the traffic to die down I write more from memory using the notes to help me remember.
