Head coach Chip Kelly provided an injury update and some insight on a new defensive look during his press conference prior to Sunday's training session at Lincoln Financial Field ...
Chip Kelly on dime defense: All about matchups ... If you have 4 wr and a RB, try to match them ... Kendricks is outstanding in coverage. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
Kelly: Carroll right now is our first dime guy with Boykin ... Carroll continues to show up every day, have to find him playing time. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
Kelly: Maclin and Wolff (sore knee) should be full go in practice today ... Cooper not ready yet, should be this week. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
Kelly: Tucker firmly ahead as 4th RB right now, we liked him last year ... Fluellen Josey jockeying behind, preseason games & ST important — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
Kelly: Really been happy with Barkley's progression since he came here a year ago. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
Kelly: Tough part of evaluation is someone "ripping it up" against the 3s, what will they do against the 1s? ... Try to mix up reps. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
Kelly on Keelan Johnson: He knows he made a mistake, still process he needs to go through ... First mistake he's made since he's been here. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
Kelly on Keelan Johnson contd: There's potential there, but he's in competition ... Secondary much deeper than a year ago. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
Kelly: it's been good to see A. Benn ... Never really got a chance to see him last year ... Worked very hard in rehab, in better shape. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 3, 2014
