Jul 31, 2014 at 05:21 AM

Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur met the media for the first time since the start of #EaglesCamp and talked about the state of his side of the ball as the team enters its second season in the scheme. Here's what he said, through the lens of @EaglesInsider.

OC Pat Shurmur: Nick Foles does a good job blending the kind of receivers we have and what they like with our route concepts. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: McCoy is such a shift runner, great vision ... Came into camp in great shape, you can tell he's leaner. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: I think the TE group has really improved as a unit ... Ertz has probably made the biggest improvement as the youngest guy. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: I watch Celek on a daily basis b/c he's a guy who really bought into the training ... Reminds me every day that it's working. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: Barbre is a physical guy, makes his presence felt in run game. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: Tobin, Gardner, Kelly are all guys who can fill in with depth if something happens in first four weeks. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: David Molk has benefited from Vandevelde being out last couple days, taking advantage of calling things for second team. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: Arrelious Benn comes to mind as doing a good job beyond 1st tier of receivers ... Whole group has improved ... B. Smith solid w/ 1s — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur on Jordan Matthews finishing plays: If we didn't have fences he'd run into the street. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

On having his son, Kyle, here in Training Camp: It's fun having our guys here, it's neat ... I know he doesn't take it for granted. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: The nice thing about Sproles is he does absolutely everything right, finishes every play. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: The two guys who looked the most different when they got here were LeSean McCoy and Matt Barkley. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014

Shurmur: Momah has actually had a really, really good camp. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) July 31, 2014
