Warm and humid and once again there will be that code orange air quality alert. So as we take look at the forecast you see the middle of the week thats our chance for showers and storms with that front that moves through and then behind it, its going to be really comfortable. Thursday low 80s. Low humidity. Friday looking good. And this upcoming weekend much better than the prior weekend were looking at temperatures in the low 80s and its not going to be humid at all. So enjoy. We like that. Yup. Thanks, scott. We love howard eskin. Good to have you back. You do . Did i good anywhere. Yeah. Youve been everywhere. Chip kelly was talking all about you. I know. I saw, leave it to chip. Talking about a lot of things these days. Everybody ready for a little if the ball . I know i am. This friday the eagles will finally play a game in chicago against the bears. I know its only the preseason, but its still football. There are always expectations. In this town expectations are always a lot more. Last night during the first Football Game broadcast Chris Collins worth of nb considerate put more expectations on the eagles. You know the team that i think will have chance to this year is the Philadelphia Eagles. Really . Okay. Well, nothing wrong with that, right . Well im not sure collingsworth went full board but mentioning the super bowl and eagles put expectations out there. Players will hear that a lot before and during the season. So today at after practice what does the quarterback think of those expectations . I already knew those expectations were here. I mean the second i stepped foot in philadelphia you could hear you can see it in the fans, passion what they say. What they want. Everybodys goal is when they play this game to win a championship but i think the most important thing is not to think about it. To go out there to take care of your business each and every day, and then after the season is over you can see where youre at. Boy if there was super bowl here theyd have to shut this town down for days. Things are so different this days at camp however. There is one thing that is noticeable from years in the past. Its the first thing i noticed at these Training Camp practices. Theres no real contact. That means no hitting or tackling. Among others, i wonder if the players have problems with one of the basic fundamentals of the game, tackling. So isnt this a problem with g getting players totally prepared for the games . The rules are the rules. Like coach chip always talks about were not here to argue with him or change them or whine about them. Were going to make sure we max si mize our ability to get tackle work in regardless of the rules and we do a lot of i talk about this before, two hand tag below the waste. Get your body in position to make the tackle. Constantly talking about our head in front of the ball if youre in the end zone to make body tackles instead of arm tackles. Friday night in chicago, they will be hitting. I cant wait. I cant wait to get that first hit in friday night. Its going to be great, man to hit somebody in different color jersey. It will be great. Its going to be fun. Like i said we just got to focus on technique and have fun. And hit somebody. Yeah. Former pro bowl kevin green had 160 sacks in his career and hes working for the next couple of days with the eagles at the invitation of chip kelly and bill davis. Hes politically correct. He understands both sides. We want a get on the field and we want to work hard. We dont werent to hit somebody so hard that we get hurt or it hurts our teammate. So i think i mean theres a benefit in not beating yourself down in Training Camp. At the end of the day we need everybody great tacklers in december and sometimes you can take some of that away from them in august. Well see if it works. I know it saves the body but i dont know if it make the game better. Always called tackle football. Right. Well see. Thank you very much, howard. You got it.
