We are seated in the cafeteria at the NovaCare Complex, and I am explaining to rookie defensive lineman Daniel Te'o-Nesheim my interest in his story, and that Eagles fans were clearly curious during draft weekend when he became a third-round pick and that his immediate quote when asked by the media what he was doing at the time he found out about the draft was "I was just lying down and looking at the ceiling" elevated him to immediate cult status and that, well, there is a whole lot of mystery

Nothing is permanent, and who in the world over-analyzes a no-tackling, no-pad rookies and selected veterans camp, anyway (who doesn't these days??), but there was some news as the Eagles opened a mini, mini-camp on Wednesday at the NovaCare Complex: Macho Harris moved to cornerback and Marlin Jackson is very, very relevant in the defense's big picture ...

Ellis Hobbs lives by the Five P's that he has established: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. It is a daily mantra, and with so much riding professionally on this season, Hobbs is leaving nothing to chance. He is a driven man, motivated like at no other time in his career, as he sets his sights not only on earning the starting right cornerback job for the Eagles, but excelling every week ...

They toil here at the NovaCare Complex every day, working hard to break through and gain some publicity. They are, in a lot of ways, the Unknown Eagles, and they are the kind of players who fascinate me and who could truly impact the football team this season. Some of them are reasonably well established -- Juqua Parker has been a starter here for years -- and some of them may not even make the team. But for the sake of conversation on a slow, off-season day, let's kick around a few names on the

Taking A Look At Defensive End Spots

Instead of Julius Peppers, the pre-free agency hope for many fans, the Eagles traded for Darryl Tapp and drafted Brandon Graham and Daniel Te'o-Nesheim. Are they better off in the long run? Time will tell, certainly, but the Eagles have Tapp signed to a contract extension and they welcome in rookies Graham and Te'o-Nesheim this week for another round of classroom, camp and consecutive days of feeding the playbook and the Eagles way of life ...

Published June 9, 2010 at 11:02 a.m.

The first glance was a good one, as the Rookie Class of 2010 went through the frantic paces of the post-draft mini-camp and, by the accounts provided by the coaching staff, kept its head above the fast-paced waters. The evaluation was guarded, of course, because the players were merely introduced to the outer fringes of the playbook. The hard part, truly, is coming ...

Without the pads and without, let's be honest, a full assembly of the 80-plus-man roster on board, it is very difficult to believe too much of what you see on the field during the rookies and selected veterans portion of the spring practices at the NovaCare Complex. But there is one thing that is very apparent with this team that Andy Reid and Howie Roseman have put together: There is an emphasis on speed, and the Eagles have as much of it as any team ...
