Quotes about how Nate has been learning in minicamp

About Philly's offense, Nate heard:
"there was a lot more passing here than with most NFL teams." (Philly News)


About how the Eagles have a pass-first offense, Nate said:
"that's what I'm used to out in Hawaii. You block first in Hawaii; you always have a gunslinger sitting back there [at quarterback]. Coach [June] Jones wants you to protect 'the golden arm.' Everything happens from there. Here, you're not just blocking, you can go out there and get the ball." (Philly News)


After being "bug-eyed" during their first camp, Nate said that now:
"this [camp] kind of takes a step back . . . everybody's on the same page, you can just kind of sit back and get through this thing together." (Philly News)


About how they learned from the vets instead of the coaches in the first camp, Nate said:
"When the vets were here for the first camp, me and Tony were tapping into their information system the whole time," Ilaoa said. "The coaches weren't really coaching us, they were just kind of like, 'Let's go, this is the tempo.' With the vets here, that's how they run things." (Philly News)
