Trying too hard?
The Eagles have a *very* consistent message this summer. Has it gone too far?

Trying hard to accomplish something is good.
Trying too hard could be the opposite.
From the minute Eagles training camp opened, the message was clear: Last year didn’t happen. It’s a new year. We’re not defending anything.
I wanted the team to embrace what it now is (the hunted), but understood where Nick Sirianni was coming from. We’re talking about a coach that does his homework when it comes to talking to other coaches. The strategy was rooted in something, even if it wasn’t my preference.
But is it fair to wonder if the messaging has gone too far?
That’s what I’m wondering, especially after hearing what Sirianni said yesterday as Cowboys Week got underway.
