Quotable: Eagles at minicamp
Rookie RB Lesean McCoy found himself a little starstruck standing in the huddle with Brian Westbrook & Donovan McNabb.
"Playing next to Westbrook, that's all weird, man," McCoy told reporters. "Watching him on TV, seeing him on the games. Then you're at camp with him. And being in the huddle with McNabb, it's crazy, man," he said.
Speaking of being a little starstruck, Cornelius Ingram felt it when he walked by Donovan McNabb's locker.
"I walked by it pretty slow and then I turned around and walked past it again,” said tight end Cornelius Ingram, the fifth-round pick out of Florida. "I think one day he will be in the Hall of Fame.”
Donovan McNabb has chosen not to address the media at minicamp. Andy Reid seemed to think eventually McNabb would hold a press conference.
"He’s done a great job, at least he did today and he has over the last ten years of leading this football team. That to me is very important, that he continues to do that and obviously somewhere he’ll talk to you along the line here. I haven’t really talked to him about that, but somewhere he will talk to the media.”
Shawn Andrews was asked whether his brother was upset that he was moved from RT to RG to make room for Shawn.
"(Stacy) has no hard feelings about it," Shawn Andrews said. "He's excelled at guard. The team didn't say if he was going to play guard or tackle when he first came here, so this is where he is and he's excited to get on the field when he does."
Shawn also said that he's been looking forward to playing tackle the whole offseason.
"I was definitely looking forward to playing left tackle,” said Shawn Andrews, sporting a Mohawk. "This whole offseason, I was taking left tackle sets and it felt very natural. It was a very natural feeling that I got just putting my hand down on the left side. I don’t know if that had anything to do with me being left-handed or not but it definitely felt natural.”

Read this nonsense
So…because McNabb refuses to indulge some of the idiots in the Philadelphia press, he’s not projecting leadership? I hope he doesn’t address the media at all just to annoy them.

Translation: Donovan didn’t give me anything to write my story about so now I have to provide the controversial BS on my own

I have long argued for McNabb to simply hand out numbered cards with a similarly numbered list of cliches. This is the reason why.

Shawn is playing left tackle? does that mean Peters is playing right tackle? Im confused.

yeah im confused too
possible Shawn Andrews at LT and Peters at LG? moving Herremens to RT?
idk that seems like too much change to me

no..
I believe It’s Peters at LT Herrmans LG Jackson C… Stacy Andrews RG and Shawn is moving out to RT
Stacy is still rehabbing the knee so he is not in these mini camps Im not sure if Shawn will be playing RT for the year or what but he is playing there now since Stacy is still rehabbing
I would love this move if it’s what we plan on doing this year Peters and Shawn Andrews as our bookend tackles…. im all for it..

Shawn was talking about practicing on the left side before we acquired Peters. The quote is confusing but you have to read the whole article.

McNabb not adressing the media is a good thing. He’s not the best at adressing the press, that coupled with the fact that the media blows everything he says way out of proportion just makes for distractions. I’d rather he keep his mouth shut and just lead by example on the field. There will be plenty of time to talk to the media during training camp.
