DeMarco Murray getting ready at own pace

Reynolds even made a tackle on special teams, which caught the attention of Eagles head coach Chip Kelly.

“You’re going to see another defense … a different philosophy defensively, and it will be good for him to nearly get a pregame-type setting”.

“You’re out here practicing, out here working”, Murray said.

“We’re at the point in camp where it’s good to get out there against another team”.

Last season Parkey was 32 of 36 on field-goal attempts, including 14 of 16 from 30-39 yards (the PAT distance this season).

Five dot-to-dot observations… I think Tim Tebow is more valuable to the Eagles as a third QB than Matt Barkley, given what he can do at the goal line, and regardless of how he performs in the preseason.

Bradford, who has played seven NFL games since 2012, was expected to be brought along slowly. Of course, it wasn’t a pure swap – Murray signed with Chip Kelly’s Eagles in free agency and the Bills swapped McCoy for Kiko Alonso – but it’s all the same. “Injuries also hindered the 6’1”, 207-pound safety leading up to the season.

The presence of Murray and Mathews should free up Sproles to be used in more creative ways. The Eagles are going to have to cut one of their quarterbacks before the preseason is over. “We are excited to see where this goes”. Just the same, Murray is ready to play and could start against the Ravens with Bradford, his former University of Oklahoma teammate.

“I liked how Timmy threw it”, Kelly said, via John Gonzalez of CSNPhilly.com “That’s the big concern with everybody coming in, has he really changed?” I know in preseason, a lot of teams, they do three-step drops because they want to protect the quarterback. Sproles said. “That’s the kind of person I am”. Look for these two to round out the starting wide receivers for the Ravens this season. But with the departure of Trent Cole for Indianapolis in the offseason, and with injuries to several linebackers during training camp, Smith finds himself in position to earn significant playing time.

“Late in the practice, probably we got a little exhausted, some penalties on the DBs, but we created turnovers, we stopped the run really well, and then we didn’t give up any big passes over our heads, and that’s our goal”, Jenkins said. There isn’t much idle time for players at a Kelly practice.

Murray hasn’t been told yet whether he will play in Saturday night’s preseason game against the Ravens. We said that we don’t want fights to happen. I don’t think you can have a guy carry it 370 to 400 times per season and be successful.

But, there were some things missing from the actual game too.

“I’m very comfortable with the offense, very comfortable with myself”, Murray said.
