sam bradford should play, but, it is not a definite. chip, hasn't given word on whether or not ryans will see first action of the pre-season, but, all signs point to them suiting up. all of the guys in the secondary though have played, and played really well. right now, call starting quarterback job, but looks great, where ever you put him. put them against flacco, haven't allowed big plays like they did last year, but that's nothing to be happy about, says safety malcolm jenkins. jenkins, likes how the secondary looks, but want no credit for doing something you're supposed to do. >> to not have the ball go over your head, average accomplishment, so who don't get excited about doing average things, compared to last year, that was a great thing, but, you know, that's what we're supposed to do. we don't get too encouraged, just doing what we are supposed to do have confidence in the guys we have out there. and we want to be great, so just going out and not giving up big plays, is not something we get super excited about. >> phillies coming off bad bad stret
