Eagles chat with Zach Berman

3rd & 7 37yd

What do you think happens with Randall Evans? Does he make the team?

by Cody 8/4/2015 2:30:01 PM
Too early to say. Boykin's release helps. If they keep five, it will be two of Shepherd, Watkins, Evans, Rice.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:30:59 PM
Has everyone counted out Wolfe? Is he healthy?

by FL phan 8/4/2015 2:33:26 PM
No, not yet. Wolff has a good chance. But I think he n needs to earn his way onto the roster.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:33:46 PM
What was the real story behind holding Murray out the very first day of training camp? Doesn't seem to make any sense.

by Stew 8/4/2015 2:33:48 PM
Good question, Stew. I'll hear from Chip in an hour.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:33:57 PM
Most likely veteran to be a surprise cut?

by Matthew 8/4/2015 2:33:58 PM
Way too soon for me to say. If I knew at this point, wouldn't be much of a surprise.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:34:31 PM
Back to my earlier question about picking up a OLB this late. How about a trade or picking up someone that will be cut from another team? Any potential targets do you think or do they just stand pat?

by Cody 8/4/2015 2:34:32 PM
I think they'll see what they have here first. Marcus Smith would be the best-case scenario.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:34:48 PM
10 more minutes, fire away anything you're interested in...

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:38:49 PM
Louis Riddick said the Eagles have much better talent at DB this year. Is this a true statement, or are we just weaker at WR?

by Charles 8/4/2015 2:39:41 PM
I think Byron Maxwell is an upgrade over everything they had last year. Rowe is an intriguing prospect. Thurmond has a lot of talent. I think Riddick is a very good evaluator, but there are a lot of guys who haven't done it on Sundays yet. Some good potential there.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:40:27 PM
Big crowd expected today?

by FL phan 8/4/2015 2:40:28 PM
It's already starting to fill in. I would imagine Sunday will be more, though.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:40:48 PM
How good can Matthews be? Nice rookie year but can he be a 1 or do we have a bunch of 2's and 3's. Or will Aghalor take over as a 1 eventually?

by Stew 8/4/2015 2:40:52 PM
I think Matthews is 1,000+ yards this year. If Agholor is productive, then I think their passing game will be fine. Matthews will take a step up this season.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:41:26 PM
How's Cody Parkey been? His usual perfect self?

by Cody 8/4/2015 2:41:30 PM
You need the preseason for kickers.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:41:35 PM
Who makes it, Barkley or Tebow? Also, is Tebow's mechanics better than he was 4 years ago?

by bigginn 8/4/2015 2:41:38 PM
If you had to make a 53 today, I'd say Barkley. But the preseason will be where that competition is won. Tebow can earn a spot, for sure. But to date, Barkley has been better.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:42:27 PM
Hey there friend. How has Byron Maxwell looked so far? He clearly has the physical tools Chip is looking for, but is he showing the instincts and general playmaking ability required to be a successful #1 CB?

by Scott O 8/4/2015 2:42:30 PM
Good question, Scott. The first thing you notice with Maxwell is his size. He's tall, long, and strong. He has a presence at that position. I've heard good things about his work in the film room this offseason. It will be a test being the No. 1 CB, but there's a lot of optimism in the building that he has that talent.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:43:22 PM
Does Ryan take a step back into a more complimentary role (older and coming off an injury) and Kiko and kendricks take over full time?

by Stew 8/4/2015 2:44:20 PM
You're asking about Ryans, I assume? My guess is he still has an important role, but he plays in the base and not in sub packages. Kiko and Kendricks will be the nickel LBs.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:45:06 PM
Anyone new you think will step up and get more playing time on the defensive line this season?

by Cody 8/4/2015 2:45:11 PM
There's not much playing time to go around, but Taylor Hart is the player I'd focus on there.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:45:27 PM
Two more minutes, some quick hitters...

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:45:38 PM
Who do you think wins the guard positions?

by Cody 8/4/2015 2:46:22 PM
Barbre on the left, Tobin on the right.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:46:35 PM
I worry about Parkey... he needs comp... what other specialists do we have in camp?

by plagueoff 8/4/2015 2:46:59 PM
They have a punter to help take the load off Donnie Jones, but I don't think they wanted to use another roster spot on a kicker.

by Zach Berman 8/4/2015 2:47:29 PM
