Dressed between the preview of Thursday evening and the Open Practice on Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday evening, the Eagles were back on Saturday in the Novacare complex for the 11th session of the training camp.
And things were usually withheld.
The team ran through 11-on-11 exercises, but the attack often played it safely with many fast controls and short profits, so that the defense only wanted to contain.
Some striking moments, however, emerged late in situational work, which also resulted in the game -ball awards from Saturday …
Defense: Eli Ricks, CB
The second team was on during a scenario where the attack was attached to his own 1-Yard line.
During the Snap, Quarterback Tanner McKee looked directly at receiver Terrace Marshall for a quick to the left sidelines, but Eli Ricks was far ahead of the piece.
The cornerback jumped for the route, picked the pass from the air and left the short distance back to the end zone for the pick six, the ball in the air in celebration as soon as he broke the plane.
Ricks, who entered the NFL year in the NFL, made that kind of striking plays in the camp and the previous season and that includes a few pass-break-ups that he made on Thursday evening against the Bengal but he did not all merged it into a fully persistent run, so that he has left the depth card and in general, in general.
Ricks did well to keep himself stable, with that choice six in Saturday’s training.
Plus, who knows? With Kelee Ringo and Adoree ‘Jackson who both struggle to make a clear case for the starting cornerback place opposite Quinyon Mitchell, the Eagles may need more cornerback depth than initially thought, leaving more room for the 23-year-old Ricks to stay on the photo and make an impact.
Honorable mention: Cornerback Tariq Castro fields Made a nice pass to fall apart on a quick impact for receiver Avery Williams in the same 1-yard line scenario when it was the turn of the third teams to enter the field. Then a little later, with the situation changed to where the attack pushed the ball to the red zone, Castro fields walked a fast to recipient Giles Jackson at the right sidelines and leveled him in the flat to stop the piece with perhaps only one or two meters won.
The 26-year-old, who spent his first few years in the NFL with round weaving for distance declarations before he found his way to the Eagles practice team last season, certainly ran his representatives with a lead on Saturday.
Attack: Taylor Morin, WR
A unsigned Rookie from Wake Forest, Morin ended Saturday’s training on a high note with the third team that worked in the red zone.
On the last representative of the day, Morin ran a corner route from the right to the back of the end zone with a defender who hung all the way over his shoulder.
The third-string Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson went looking for him, but a pass-up loft that would be a heavy handle for Morin, which is only mentioned at 5’11 “.
But the ball slid along the longer defensive back and in the hands of Morin, who could secure it and hold his feet in it while he fell into the grass in front of the touchdown.
Then Morin went and caught the 2-point conversion on a quick to the left to completely complete the session while the horn sounded.
On a beautiful day for the 24-year-old, perhaps not in an attempt that will push him to the schedule of 53 men, but it could snow in the direction of an opening for him during the practice team.
Honorous mention: Recipient Johnny Wilson Used his size to his advantage to engage a big match against the Bengal in the preseason opener on Thursday evening. Saturday’s training was quieter for him, but he did get some looks with the first team and pulled a high pass from Jalen Hurts in the seam that he could go for in Zone cover.
It is worth noting that AJ Brown did not practice on Saturday due to a hamstring problem, which made a number of other looks necessary, but the Eagles wanted Wilson in one of these factors.
