Today, I had the chance to talk with Eagles' backup quarterback A.J. Feeley today about training camp and his expectations for the upcoming season.
Is it a comfort level for you, the fact that you’ve worked so well here (in Philadelphia)?
“Definitely, that’s one of the reasons I came back because of the comfort level I have with the offense, the coaches, the players, you guys (the media), and the fans.”
Is it an adjustment to come back here after being a starter in this league to be a backup to Donovan McNabb?
“It’s not an adjustment; it’s one of those things. I guess I would say I’ve been around the block a few times. Every situation isn’t the greatest situation, but you appreciate where you are and being here with the Eagles, it’s a top notch organization. I look for opportunities to play, and I still have ambitions, but at the same time I realize it’s a team game.”
Do you expect any different atmosphere here thinking that the Eagles for the most part are a veteran team (in terms of expectations for the season)?
“The mentality hasn’t changed from one year to the next. The expectations are always there. They’re still the same and that’s to go to the Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl.”
