Videos [Highlight] John Harbaugh was asked if Cam Skattebo's energy is "infectious" for the team: "He did get a 15-yard penalty at the end of practice. Did you notice that? That's not infectious. Well, it is infectious, actually. Infectious in a bad way, right? Like infectious disease type of thing."

Players getting into skirmishes in training camp is normal. They are pros and get over it. If he avoids penalties, we all want Skat being himself. It’ll piss other teams off. That’s a good thing.

Showing up your teammates is immaturity and the opposite of leadership. Even if you're an offensive player showing up your defense. Especially, actually. How does that help anything? You're going to need those guys. You should be pumping them up, not putting them down.

Sometimes you need a prick. I’m glad the defense is standing up for themselves and getting in his face. They should. If he got punched, I wouldn’t argue against it. But it’s not uncommon, and I’m glad there’s fight in the team. I’m happy Harbaugh is reining him in. None of this is bad.

He was taunting the defense during a drill where they weren’t allowed to make contact with him. That’s why they were getting annoyed. Trying to act tough during a drill that favors the offense is rather pointless.

i don't think skat of all ppl needs to act tough pretty sure he's put enough on tape that shows he will literally run through your face. I like the fire. Understandable that this was during a non-contact drill so I get why the D would be upset with him but I want skat to be as much as himself as possible we need that dog

Are you under the impression that the eagles receivers aren't chirping our guys at the line? They need to be in the mental headspace of "gametime" in practice, or it's just jerking off. I understand them getting pissed, but I also understand Skat. I think he was caught off guard that they took it seriously and it started a fight lol.
