The Philadelphia Eagles ran a much heavier offseason spring workout program this year, including their first-ever mandatory minicamp under head coach Nick Sirianni.
There's an obvious reason behind Sirianni switching things up this year, and it has a lot to do with the Eagles' 2023 historic collapse.
But on Tuesday, Sirianni explained other reasons for the extra practice sessions.
"Every year you go through it and you think to yourself, What can we do better this year? You know? And I think what we, you know, one of the things that we did, I mean, there’s many things we wanted to get some extra practices in," Sirianni said. "We wanted to have, you know, set the stage of, as far as you know this, this day is a little bit different than an OTA day, kind of, it kind of mirrors a day of practice. But also you can get some meetings done that you don’t have to do in training camp. Now there’s one reason, you get some of the physicals done."
Sirianni also noted that the minicamp helps get them ahead of training camp, so they're not wasting much time come July.
Most importantly, the three-day camp is another chance for young players to connect with the veterans and the team to build a better bond — something that they lacked last fall.
"You can get the meetings that you would do in training camp that kind of eat up a night meeting, like we got to watch this tape tonight, and you got some sort of meeting that you’re like, that eats into it," he added. "So you can get some of those done too. But it’s just to get out there, and really, at the end of the day, is to get out there and work, have the whole team in here and working together. And, you know, going hard at it."
The Eagles' mandatory camp kicked off on Tuesday, June 4, and will wrap up Thursday on June 6.
