Eagles Coach Chip Kelly says QB Tim Tebow has skills others lack

It wouldn’t be a stretch to see Nelson Agholor as a starting wide receiver once the season starts or shortly thereafter. The practices have intensified and he has not felt any problem with his left knee, which has undergone surgery twice. Still, while Kelly indicated that Tebow does have certain skills the other quarterbacks on the Eagle roster may not have, he made it clear that those aren’t what will land him on the final 53. I like to think that sometimes when things do go wrong, it ends up being sort of a blessing, because you do learn from them.

“As a Cowboys fan, this worries me very deeply”. I think that just plays into our advantage.

We’ve been seeing it everyday since camp began, especially with physical cornerbacks Byron Maxwell and Nolan Carroll marking their territories with aggressive play.

While Matthews was clearly the best slot receiver beginning in the spring, Agholor may have a greater upside on the outside than either Oregon product Josh Huff or 6-foot-4 veteran wide out Riley Cooper, McLane writes Thursday. He was out of football last season, after being cut by the New England Patriots coming out of training camp.

“G.J. Kinne is like that utility infielder”, Shurmur said. If you’re going to be a no-nonsense hard-ass in the NFL, you have to show an equal amount of love to your players off the field. If you want to argue that Kelly and Edwards should have seen those transgressions coming, if you want to use your hindsight as a cudgel, fine.

“You can take that back to Chip Kelly“, Edwards said, “and the wisdom of, ‘OK, look”. That’s what I’m anxious about. I think it’s been good the first four days. Mine are faith, family and football, in that order.

Let’s not forget about the tight end combination the Eagles have as well. Murray was out with an illness while Alonso deals with a concussion.

The accusations that Chip Kelly’s personnel moves are racially motivated are all too familiar, but a sociologist and activist who had formerly been a Black Panther remains solidly in the Philadelphia Eagles’ corner. He will be available Saturday. Instead, the Eagles are hoping they can elevate his performance by pairing him with a strong running game and dynamic, young pass catching talent. He has been suspended for this season’s first game for violating the NFL’s drug policy.

Kelly also said that the starting QB job is up for grabs, with Bradford and Sanchez the obvious competitors.

Among other mentions Friday, Shurmur isn’t alarmed at the vacancy at right guard, which right now is a competition primarily among Matt Tobin, Andrew Gardner and Dennis Kelly.

There have been reports that Kelly has put Barkley on the trade block or will release him, clearing a spot for Tebow. The Eagles had not practiced since Tuesday’s public session at Lincoln Financial Field. Whitlock argues that Kelly has created an echo-chamber on his coaching staff with people to whom he can relate. How his players see him is at least one thing Kelly can control.

As for the other Oregon guy and local product, Maehl remains in a position to try and further his standing as a backup receiver and special teams guy as he competes in his third Eagles camp since being traded by Houston late in the 2013 offseason.

New Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford has revealed that his knee is holding up well through pre-season.
