SportsRadio 94 WIP Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks gave his analysis of the team's Day 5 practice. Instead of focusing on the offensive struggles, Shorr-Parks went all in on the safeties and how well they have played in training camp so far.

"So far through practice, I think the safety position has actually been one of the strengths on this team. Uh, Andrew Mukuba is having an awesome camp. He is all over the ball. It feels like two, three times a practice he is forcing an incompletion. He's right there to help a pass fall incomplete, and you can see like the physical ball-hawking nature of his game really shining. And then today, Michael Carter came away with an interception. Michael Carter did an excellent job, uh, reading the ball from Jalen Hurts. He got over in time. Not the best throw from Jalen. Michael Carter jumps up, gets it, was able to return it quite a bit.

What’s going on with Lane? Thought was just holding him saving him for the playoffs until he just couldn’t suit up. But he still hasn’t suited up since

The media seems unexpectedly surprised by the good play of the safeties.

You can't chalk it up to being familiar with the offense, especially a new complicated one.

Sounds like instead of MC2....that E = excellent play by the safeties

Like Lane’s going to just dog out his replacement he’s mentoring.

Another observation made by Ray Diddy, he noticed how the OL is embracing the new position coach and scheme/ style. Noting that usually you see some resistance from veterans when a long time position coach is replaced. He noted that the movement style is probably a better fit for the more athletic Lane and Jurgens.

Could chalk it up as familiarity with the D….along with O first stages of learning. Also talent differentials. Mukuba is very good….just not durable. You’d expect he’d be doing well in TC.

No Lane means: pressure coming from the right. No Smitty and Lemon means?

Still way early, but good signs. Also noted how much the QB is under center ( back to real football) so now the LT is again protecting the blind side. Where in shotgun there isn't a blind side.

I still think they could be projecting Bell long term at LT.

Been a few of these reports....seems some great throws made on some balls that were difficult but then some bad throws when guys were open.

Camp though... you never know what the idea behind everything is. Are they locked in on one aspect of the play, wanting to go to a certain matchup regardless 🤔 I don't put too much stock, but good to hear the safety position looks good.

Dickerson seemed annoyed at the idea that rumors were out there that he was thinking of retiring.

I love the anger, he seems to know how to channel it onto the field

I guess if there's gonna be Hammy injuries nows the time to do it

Yeah, they noted Smith missed a lot of camp last year with the hamstring was healthy all year. Apparently he is a sports science or some kind of major where he has a good feel for that stuff knowing jow to take care of himself. They think he is just being cautious

im sorry, when i hear eliot shorr-parks i tune out.

the absolute worst.

You have to approve of the declining to jumpstart fastest possible learning curve bumping Bell right up to first teams reps since Lane still hasn’t been out there for so long at RT for us. Exactly an example of decision making I’ve been practically begging for. Funny how it happens with the guy I don’t believe in and consider was a positional reach forced draft choice. But see….I still even agree with the approach. Doing approve of the draft selection….but that’s not what’s relevant actually. I’m not just beating the table for special treatment for my favored players. I approved of handling of this past draft for the most part. Greenard, doing what was needed for Lemon, identifying Stowers as our target. Greenard wasn’t ever top couple of options. But better options we couldn’t retain, first….then couldn’t lure here. So I exactly felt the pecking order placed Greenard as very clear next option to turn to. Actually very affordable quality value option. Dropoff if had to fall to any further lesser options available? Not acceptable. Pretty much wouldn’t have fulfilled the need turning to any lower lesser options.

Wanted Garrett. So…wasn’t happy falling short losing out to the Rams. Rams winning Garrett especially significant for our Eagles. Identifying Rams as very specific obstacle and roadblock for our teams success and season ceiling. We’ve been their roadblock in fact mostly. But….felt like educated guess dictated Browns chose Verse over Carter. So if all things else were equal in offers towards the bidding war? Not much I could blame Rosie about losing out on the mega trade.

I just keep understanding how much longer term development would be most beneficial towards highest levels of success achievement. I’d chose let QB develop taking those lumps…much more than I even consider such short term small victories as priorities. I’d chose pushing Moore installing best O developing all areas.

Difference in logic being still suffering and much further behind ceiling of developments how many years later since Siri arrived here? Had Kelce to do Gameday operations week one of first season. Great! But in no way should have lead that as reasoning chosing to not develop what was and would always be needed in franchise QB.

Dialing back Moore stunting his effect limiting his learning curve speed terrible idea. Suffer more lumps speeding it up development. Sure is riskier that costs a regular season game. But….facts most all others openly realize ackowledging is have to develop and suffer in the beginning. Alternative being it carries over as key limitation issues for years.

The whole city waiting for Jaylen Brown press conference with the Sixers. Amazing the shift away from Eagles dominating the sports news

So I’m all for choosing fastest possible learning curve option….regardless. Glad Bell lifted into starting position right away. Lane and Mailata starters. Fred clearly deserving of being in the spot way over Bell. I could actually give reasoning a couple more in fact are deserving of being above Bell. But….not about that. What’s important is getting development going fast as possible. Bell first team reps aren’t getting the team most ready for week one success. Lane can’t go clearly he Fred. Bell I’ve laid out my very specific reasoning why I completely don’t believe in him working in the NFL. Even that guy I’m staying consistent with my logic surrounding. Heck…it even gives a better read on that a player is a bust or not good enough the fastest. Which I prefer.

Problem stemmed from multiple key factors. Hurts needing fairly large development coming in after college experience of different O every season have the expected obvious results…maybe as far as deficiencies.

That young QB was opposite of Siri capabilities and fit. Most experienced vet QB obviously been a better pairing for Siri. Siri just not even capable. Worse…didn’t realize the essential needs existing.

That all coming together with not a steadfast commitment towards identifying Hurts as actually the franchise guy. Rosie clearly exhaustively prepping for targeting Pickett in the very next draft.

Which all odds were Hurts failed initially. 2021 situation impossible to have overcome. Even believing so optimistically in Hurts….he was in a position and circumstances of doom. 2021 Eagles couldn’t even add talent to try and compete because there was no money to spend on 2021 Eagles. Most 2021 Eagles money had been dedicated to previous Eagles squads.

So yeah…even if you knew Hurts would do what he has since? Still no reason to believe he survived 2021. Huge franchise investment was headed towards Pickett instead.

Just saying not all on Siri. Every other franchise wouldn’t even allow it as an option to short cut developing franchise QB. Allowed because Rosie was targeting Pickett as that guy in 2021.

2021 Eagles just weren’t very talented. Reasoning on its own to expect failure. Greenest possible HC another reasoning. Overcoming starting 2-5 just unreal accomplishment that occurred over the top. Overcoming bad start with a quality team? Sure. But such a undermanned talent deficient team accomplishing it? Basically logic would almost 90 percent dictate a lesser capable team had to accomplish achieving playoffs almost definitely based on sneaking out early season wins.
