Eagles DC shouts out Patriots a week after joint team practices
Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was impressed with the joint practices that took place with the New England Patriots.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio praised the New England Patriots for the challenges they presented during joint training camp practices last week. According to 94Wip.com's Eliot Shorr-Parks, Fangio deemed the joint practices as "two of the most valuable days of training camp." Both teams engaged in two highly competitive practices prior to the Week 2 preseason game on Saturday night.
However, none of the starters participated in the game due to the intense workload they had endured during practice. The Patriots emerged victorious in the game with a 24-21 comeback win, after a game-winning drive by rookie quarterback Behren Morton. Fangio stated that the two joint practices against the Patriots were crucial days in their training camp preparation.
The Patriots had two consecutive preseason practices against the Indianapolis Colts before hosting the Eagles. The Eagles, perennial playoff contenders with high-level players, were pitted against the Patriots, who rebounded last season by winning 14 games and advancing to the Super Bowl. Such encounters between two powerful football teams are highly valuable.
