@MoveTheSticks: In my opinion, Foles had a slightly better practice than Vick. Both guys connected on deep balls. However, both guys hold the ball too long

@MoveTheSticks: @nadaidea: Polk over Bryce Brown? > He looked much better today and the Eagles like him.

It said above Polk over Jones. Haven't seen anything about over Brown.

Agree. Brown frustrated me quite a bit last year even during his first two big games with his tendency to bounce everything outside. He got to the corner last year because people weren't expecting him to have the kind of speed he does, but that won't surprise anyone this year.
Unless he takes some strides on reading blocks and shows the willingness to run inside I wouldn't be surprised at all if he lost carries to Polk.
Polk looks like a completely different player to last preseason, when I thought he looked very slow to the holes. He's dropped 15 lbs and seems to be consistently breaking 10-20 yd runs in practice. Looking forward to seeing him in the 1st preseason game and comparing.

A lot of people hanging their heads with these injuries but I think we were going to see more of the 3 TE's anyway.

True. Kelly seems to run the ball a lot (70%) in college. I don't expect something that drastic but the more we heard about him the more I expected (MHO) "small ball". I expect to see Celek, Casey and Ertz a lot along with McCoy, Brown, Polk, Jones etc. I never expected much from Benn. As crazy as it may sound I'm ok with D-Jax, Cooper and Sheppard right now.Someone's gotta play WR. Not hanging my head as I'm not expecting much anyway, but we're now seriously thin at WR.

Dude we haven't even had 1 preseason game. Shepard has had a good camp, and looks like a lock to make the team with all the injuries. He could start, so could Cooper. So could Johnson. So could Brandon Lloyd if we dip into the FA pool.

It's a lock that someone will. If you look at our team right now our strengths have to be OL, TE & RB. It would be wise to use them and limit the time the D spends on the field.Ha!

Honestly, like someone said above--we haven't even had a preseason game yet. I don't know that any Eagle fan right now expects anything from him.

I would not be surprised if our WR1 and WR2 in 2014 are not currently Eagles.

Kelly was up 30 at halftime a lot. I don't know how that effected his percentages, but that did play into him running so much. From what I understand of Chip Kelly he will gameplan for each team week-by-week. He's not going to run all game if a team is as good as say Tampa vs the run last season. It's another misconception people have about him just like him needing a mobile QB to run his offense.True. Kelly seems to run the ball a lot (70%) in college.

IMO they should start DeSean and Cooper, two very different wr's and then roll with the extra TE sets and slot in Avant/Johnson in different packages and plays. Still holding out hope that Foles outplays Vick during pre-season and wins the job, but it sounds like Vick is ahead right now. DeSean having a great camp isn't a huge surprise, he always seems to make great plays in practice/camp, especially now with Kelly's no-tackle rule.
Also hope that Bryce Brown gets at least 5 carries per game if he can get a handle on his fumbling issues, the guy is a beast.

@Jeff_McLane: My #Eagles-#Patriots practice observations. Nick Foles has his best practice. More here: http://t.co/5SQhcSI7sY

@RoobCSN: Fletcher, Williams, Chung, Phillips RT @AFriedman15 what's your gut feeling on who will be the starting secondary?

@AlbertBreer: Speaking of quarterbacks, Eagles coach Chip Kelly is expected to name his starting quarterback for Friday night after practice.

NO Cooper is clear number 2 receiver especially for his Blocking.
Johnson, Damaris is the only player that offers a surprise on our team. He has been great in camp and very crisp route runner. there are a lot more short option routes in this offense than there was with Reid. Desean and Johnson will excel barring injury.

I still think that Barkley has a chance to win this Job. Foles and Vick have bigger arms but Barkley Clearly gets the ball out quicker. Pre snap recognition will be the x factor for these 3 guys. Chip's offense has a lot of option calls based on the defenses alignment.
Bigboy10182000
Footballguy
At this point its going to take an injury or just flat out bad play, from Vick or Foles for Barkley to win the job out of camp. He's just not getting the reps.

According to Roob, Lloyd is a guy that no teammates like at all, going back to his college days. Plus, as he and Didinger pointed out on Saturday, what's the point to get a band-aid like that with this team this year? Might as well see if Coop, Johnson, Shepard and even Momah can contribute going forward.

Not according to the beat writers and Sal Pal. He basically said (either on Mike Miss last night or Mike and Mike this morning) "I'm close to reporting that the starting job is going to Vick" and added that "Barkley has been out of the running for some time now and isn't getting any meaningful snaps".
Bigboy10182000
Footballguy
Yeah... he got 9 total snaps against NE yesterday in practice.
I would start Vick this week too and it's not why people think. I'd rather him take his 5-6 plays and go and see Foles for an extended amount of time.

@GeoffMosherCSN: It's just 1 on 1s but Riley cooper toasted a NE d-back to catch a comer route in the end zone from Foles.
@GeoffMosherCSN: Momah makes a sick leaping catch over Logan Ryan in the end zone from Vick.
@Jeff_McLane: A day after Nick Foles opened with the first team, Michael Vick goes first as 7 on 7s start.
@SheilKapadia: With McCoy not participating, Polk (not Brown) gets 1st team reps during initial 7-on-7 period.
@GeoffMosherCSN: Looks like another day Cary Williams won't make it through a full practice. I believe he has gone inside.
@GeoffMosherCSN: Vick up first on 7s. Had Celek open but didn't see him. Whistled for sack.
@GeoffMosherCSN: Blitz coming, Vick runs and stops. I think coaches would like to see him release and find target.

@GeoffMosherCSN: Chip says RDE very much open comp between Thornton, Curry and Logan. Says the rookie Logan is definitely in the mix.

I still don't understand why Vick is on this team. I would rather lose trying to find a QB instead of losing with the same old story who isn't going to be around next season anyway. Why are we wasting our time?
Buddy Ball 2K3
Footballguy
Agreed. I really do not get why we are even bothering with him. We arent in playoff contention, he is gone after this year and we have two young QB's that need as many reps as possible. Its a complete waste of time and effort.

Depth chart reads thusly: http://legacy.philadelphiaeagles.com/eagles_files/html/depth_chart_rosters_1.html
All reports on Casey are very good. I would not bank on Ertz being great fantasy-wise right now.
