Welcome to our Rookie Diary Series with Eagles running back Will Shipley.

Each week, I'll talk to the fourth round pick from Clemson

to get his thoughts on his first season in Midnight Green.

We hope you enjoy. So what was the week of preparation like for you?

Yeah, it was great.

You know, weather was good here in Philly.

So, you know, it was definitely appreciative of that.

But, you know, just getting after it with the guys.

I feel like we've uh you know

come with a really good plan and I just got to go out there and execute like like every week so

what's been the messaging this week you and I kind of talked about this yesterday but the hat

and t-shirt and everything like that how are you guys what's been the message throughout

the week yeah you know I think um at the end of the day it's just another week of preparation

you know it's a team the end of the day, it's just another week of preparation.

You know, it's a team, the first team that we've seen twice.

You know, we're successful against them the first time around.

But, you know, like you said, like we talked about yesterday, it's a hat and t-shirt game.

You know, one in which we can accomplish something that we set out to do at the beginning of the season if we're successful in it. So, you know, not putting too much thought towards that, but also understanding in the

back of your head and just treating it like any other week in terms of how much you put towards

your preparation, getting ready, and, you know, just what it takes to win. One thing you can't

help but notice just being here
