Quote:“We’ve got some unproven running backs — I think we’ve got some guys that are going to be good — but we’ve got to solidify that spot. We’re deep at receiver and we should be able to play a lot of kids, and we’ve got to improve defensively. If we can do that and take care of the ball offensively, we should have a pretty good outfit.” — Fourth-year Eagles coach Cody White
