Having met the requisite pre-conditioning requirement, the Eagles will don full pads for the first time tonight in a much anticipated progression of the preseason. Tonight, as they say, we’ll separate the men from the boys. After last night’s practice, I caught up with Drew Ball (imagine that) who had this to say about full contact practice, “It’s been fun and all, huffing and puffing around the field and running routes and stuff, but I’m a linebacker, Dad! I was born to hit!” I’m sure other players share those sentiments.
Shot out to Coach Romel who ran “suicides” with the boys last night! Pretty impressive stuff Romel… I broke a sweat just watching you, literally. Also wanted to thank those who took the time to fill out their player bios. I have received about ten of these now, so keep ‘em coming! Ryan and I met on the website last weekend and the site is undergoing some upgrades as we speak. Should be pretty cool when it’s all said and done!
