DE Emmanuel Ogbah

(Was that fun?) – “It was fun. Any time you get a chance to compete against another team, that’s always fun.

(First day of joint practices. How would you assess the defense? It seemed like it got a little testy at times…) – “Like I told him, it was fun. But it was a lot of back and forth. We’ve got to go back and watch film and see what we struggled with but it was good competition for both sides of the ball.

(I know you’ve got to see the film first, but on first look, what do the Eagles to that is maybe different from what you see with your offense every day?) – “I mean they came out with a lot of lateral run but we fought hard. Like I said, we’ve got to go back and watch film see what we really struggled on but like I said, it’s competition on both sides of the ball and we’re just getting better.”

(What makes QB Jalen Hurts dangerous as a quarterback?) – “His run game. You’ve got to be aware that he can run the ball and throw the ball too.

(On keeping QB Jalen Hurts contained) – “That was kind of the main emphasis. Keep him in the pocket. Don’t let him escape the pocket.”

(On DT Christian Wilkins’ energy) – “Yeah, Christian brings the energy. We like it when he gets going. It makes everybody get going too.”

(The other team doesn’t like it too much, huh?) – “Nah. I would say Christian is one of the most hated dudes on another team. (laughter) We love him over here though.”

(When you have these joint practices, how do you measure success? Is it unit by unit? 11-on-11? 1-on-1? How do you measure success?) – “It’s a team sport. If we struggle giving up pass plays, then it’s the d-line. The d-line didn’t get back there fast enough. Or the DB didn’t cover long enough. It’s a team game. If one struggles, we all struggle.”

(We were on the other side and we saw a little dust up with DT Christian Wilkins. What did you see?) – “It’s competition. Any time you have competition against another team, it brings out the best in guys. We’ve got Christian’s back. Whatever he wants to do, we’ve got it.”
