English Eagle Fans Take On Training Camp

Its finally upon us, after what feels like an eternity Eagles Camp will be getting under way today!

Heres the 3 stories im interested in as we kick-off this Eagle Season!

1: Who will start at safety alongside Malcom Jenkins?

It looks a 2 horse race between Nate Allen and Earl Wolff. Nate Allen is slightly ahead at this point of the summer and will more then likely line up with the 1s coming off a season where he performed better then we have seen in previous years all be it nothing spectacular. having been released and re signed last season this is probably his last chance to succeed as an Eagle. As for Earl Wolff there was alot of excitement coming into his rookie year and we did see some highlight moments from him that gave us hope, however last season all momentum was put on hold as injuries hampered his progress, with a full healthy offseason behind him a solid training camp would certainly do him no harm and give himself a good chance to take the starting spot.

2: How will 1st Round Draft Pick Marcus Smith Perform?

It would be an understatement to say that this years 1st Round Draft Pick was a very underwhelming pick for the majority of fans. when Marcus Smith was announced Twitter blew up as it usually does when we see something unexpected! a pretty stacked position for the Eagles will no doubt see Smith's game time limited this season, so how will he perform in Training Camp? Can he elevate himself to a high enough level that Chip and Billy Davis will consider him for first team snaps? looks unlikely at this point but we will see how he does in Camp.

3: Who Will Step Up In Desean's Absence:

With Jackson departing this off-season to some bum team in Washington we are now left with trying to feel the void he will no doubt leave in this Eagles Offense.. So who is going to step and grab the opportunity? the names that stand out for me are Zach Erts and Jordan Matthews, no real shocker there. Matthews a 2nd round draft pick this year really does look the part and someone you really want on your team has alot of us fans excited, a supreme work ethic and will to be the best, he could play a nice part for us this season in the Slot . With everyone raving about him in Mini Camp i expect a BIG Training Camp for Matthews. As for Ertz i think he could be the main benefactor of Desean Leaving. Started off slow in his rookie year last season but as the season went on we started to see him be a massive weapon for Foles in this Offseason can line up anywhere on the field creating miss matches i think of all the players on this seasons roster Ertz is primed for a breakout year.
