Eagles Training Camp: The Boys Are Back In Town

Today marks the first day of the full Eagles training camp. Rookies and selected vets have been up in Lehigh for a couple days already, but yesterday evening the full squad showed up and it all begins for real today. For what seems like the first time in forever, camp seems to have begun drama free.
The rookies are all signed and in camp. Brandon Graham did a miss a few days of the rookie portion and I certainly don't want to discount the value of that time, but now that the full camp has begun he's here. Last season, the Eagles didn't get Jeremy Maclin into camp until August 4th. There were also reports of those negotiations being rather contentious. No veterans are holding out and no one is complaining about their contract. Last year Sheldon Brown skipped the offseason program and feuded with Eagles management, demanding a trade.
There was the Shawn Andrews saga and of course the Michael Vick signing... Then of course the various injuries... Now we can't predict what kind of drama camp may bring, but we finally seem to have a camp without drama and with a positive feeling around it. Things really do feel like they're getting off on the right foot. Sal Pal thinks us fans are all scared right now, but I'm just not seeing that. Over a hundred thousand people have visited this site since monday. There's been hundreds of comments and most people seem to be feeling pretty good right now.
So let's cross our fingers and hope this feeling lasts...

I'm with Igglesfan
I’m not liking the Stewart Bradley picture… isn’t this almost the same exact picture that you put up last year for this same article?
My recommendation… change it!
(We don’t need any BGN Jinx.)
I think the picture is fine. I’m taking full blame for last year…

Rest assured, you won’t see that post on here this year.
Formerly Bye, Dawk :(
Crazy that of your top 10, we lost 3 for significant time and two more for a few games.

For what it's worth, from that list
Last season, 2, 5 and 7 missed all/most of the year with injuries and 15 and 19 were busts (that’s Westbrook, Se. Andrews, Stew, Sh. Andrews and Demps)
and this year, 1, 2, 5, 13 and 17 are outta here (McNabb, West, Se. Andrews, Sheldon and Curtis)

i think "everyone"is scared
But I’m not any more than any of the other 31 teams fans.
I worry about injuries. We run a very physical camp. Injuries will happen, and I can only think of a couple positions I feel confident that we can survive. We had a couple bad ones last year (westbrook, jamal jackson, anyone with the word “middle linebacker” preceding them in a news story, plus hidden injuries to our entire CB core) and I know one of them will linger through the season (jackson).
I’m optimistic, though, that the cowboys will take a step back and our division will be a 4 team demolition derby to the finish.
2010-11 Predictions:
Kevin Kolb will go to the probowl and complete >65% of passes.
Jeremy Maclyn will have more receptions than Miles Austin & Steve Smith
Graham will have the starting LDE spot tied up by week 5, win ROTY, and have >10 Sacks
11-5 finish.

I was very opposed to twitter until I started using it… kindof streamlines the internet for you so that you are alerted when there are updates on your favorite sites and also athletes and reporters use it to keep you updated.
I see the usefulness of it too ...
… I haven’t quite gotten hooked yet, but the value of having your favorite musicians, athletes, bloggers and your friends — basically all the people you like, whether or not you know them — all talking about stuff you like is pretty cool.

I actually feel worried that Simms is only walking into the dorms with that small bag. That can only hold, at most, two outfits. Seriously, that bag is the size that you give a 10 year old to carry around on an overnight vacation.

He probably just has his rookie hazing supplies in there. I’m sure he has a larger suitcase with all his clothes.
That a rookie is carrying out of picture

Who cares what Bradley is wearing whether is it is an Ed Hardy t-shirt, a gay pride ensemble, or a European speedo with roller skates. Don’t care.
i would care about door number 3 ... that i would not want to see ...

Training camp here we come!
Season is only a few weeks away, I can’t wait! I’m contemplating buying NFL Sunday Ticket so I can watch all the games on the big screen for once.. And tomorrow the Titans site starts selling their tickets (not sure about the rest of the NFL) but I’m definitely getting some for the Eagles game.
..uh, go eagles!
WOOOOOOO
I’m soooo pumped for the season to start, Kolb and all (haha). I’m excited to see him and the whole team live tomorrow. Finally football is back for another 6 months.
I'm now Kolb's biggest fan
