Crossing Broadcast: Should the Eagles Bring Training Camp Back to Lehigh?
This conversation formulated organically out of the Derrick Gunn report about Jalen Hurts at OTAs. Should the Eagles return to Lehigh? Should the Eagles open training camp back up? –
Bring back Lehigh!
Chip Kelly moved the Eagles from Lehigh in 2015 to be closer to his piss doctors at NovaCare. Lehigh was awesome. Like Kevin said, it felt like a rite of passage when you went up there. I still remember how massive Jevon Kearse was while letting the kid next to me take his glove off his hand and keep it. I remember waiting outside the players’ parking lot trying to get autographs because I always got stuck with the shitty ticket they’d give you to get signatures after practice. You can only get so many Koy Detmer and Reno Mahe autos before you take initiative and mistakenly scratch Broderick Bunkley’s passenger side door trying to reach your football into him.
I understand if they don’t want to move it back to Lehigh because they have the state-of-the-art facilities they need in Philly. Then I say open it up. I hate the beat reporter tweets. I don’t need Hurts’ 3rd and 2 scamper to dominate my timeline. If you open it up those mostly disappear, because fans can watch for themselves. Just think of the players that were hyped up last year: Jalen Reagor, Tyree Jackson, Zech McPhearson. None of them contributed to the season (one was injured). Let the people watch with their own eyes.
