The Eagles had a spirited hour and half workout this afternoon, in shorts,  as the veterans got in their first practice of the 2007 training camp.

Andy Reid is the master planner and he should install winning the Super Bowl as the focus of his planning.  He and his staff set aside special time to concentrate and focus on their divisional opponents. 

The big boys are coming to town and ready to go.  The Eagles veterans are arriving at Lehigh University this afternoon in preparation for this year's training camp.

Not only did Donovan McNabb get the day off from training camp, the Eagles also let Chris Gocong and Monte Reagor have the day off. 

Eagles defensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg spoke after the early morning practice.  Marty used to say more until Andy jumped his butt for revealing too much.  Now he's very guarded.

I guess they're going to soon put an end to training camp all together.  It's getting shorter and shorter. 

 The Eagles have been working out only about 1 hour and a half.  Their workouts emphasize attention to detail. 

The Birds got their workout in this morning.  They were on the field for an hour and a half.  The Birds just don't have enough guys out there to stay on the field too long.

Opneing Statement -“We look forward to getting the 2007 season started. Everybody’s excited- players, coaches, and you folks [the media].

Andy Reid says he's going to take easy on Donovan McNabb for the first few days of practice.  McNabb, a number of other veterans who were injured last year and this year's crop of rookies arrived at Lehigh this afternoon.
