![]() Nagy: Last year, (former receiver) JuJu (Smith-Schuster) was laying on the turf in the indoor field and tweeted out, “That’s the hardest practice I’ve ever had.” I was like, “Dude, that’s, like, nothing compared to what you’re about to walk into.”ĭave Toub, special teams coordinator (13th tour): He’s not going to change his ways. Sometimes you just feel like a turtle walking off the field. The practices are way faster than any of the games ever are. Last year, that first week or two, was just very fast. ![]() Justin Reid, safety (second tour): I came in prepared this year. He just starts right away - the ones are getting eight reps, the twos are getting four or five reps and the threes are getting two reps. The first week or two of camp, most coaches have reps more evenly spaced out. Mitchell Schwartz, former right tackle (four tours): He has the reps just generally set up a bit different. The CBA says we get four hours (each day), we’re going to be on the field for exactly four hours. He maximizes every minute of on-field time. If you’re healthy, you’re going - and we’re going hard and long.ĭrue Tranquill, linebacker (first tour): It’s a lot tougher than the previous four camps I’ve been a part of, for sure.

Nagy: When (Bienemy) talks about how hard something is, you know it’s hard.ĭonovan Smith (first tour): A lot of plays. Khalen Saunders, former defensive tackle (four tours): The first thing that comes to mind is precision and no wasted reps. I’ve heard there’s never been a camp in the history of the NFL that’s been as hard as that camp. Matt Nagy, offensive coordinator (seventh camp tour): I’ve heard the war stories of that 1999 camp, Coach’s first year in Philadelphia, from guys like (Eric Bieniemy), Doug Pederson and Brad Childress. ![]() Without fail every year, many of those new players, drenched in sweat and near extreme exhaustion, ask a version of the same question: Why does Reid make camp this hard? The answers come through experience. Nine weeks later, Smith was still smiling, but he acknowledged his teammates were right: “It’s definitely an adjustment here. “How hard could it be?” new left tackle Donovan Smith asked through a smile in June.
