I didn’t include this is today’s “Five Observations” but as I was cleaning out photos, I thought it was worth sharing. That’s Jackson Carman working one-on-one with Frank Pollack after nearly everybody else had left the field. The kid is putting in the time pic.twitter.com/Y9zSQJvJQW

K’Von Wallace yells at QB Cam Newton, “Checkdown king!” after back to back dump offs to RBs in 7 on 7. Next play, Wallace yells “running back!” On cue, Newton to White in the flat. #Eagles
