Wednesday marks the second day of the Eagles' minicamp. The weather was hot and humid with temperatures at the NovaCare Complex in the 90s, which presented more of a Training Camp feel indicating just how close the season is. Prior to the start of the training session, head coach Chip Kelly offered his view on some players who has impressed during the spring. Here's the Tweetcap ...
Chip Kelly: We're monitoring every player here in terms of health and recovery for practice. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) June 18, 2014
Asked about Carey Spear, Kelly says everyone on the roster is here to compete for a job. Says Spear has improved since he's been here. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) June 18, 2014
Kelly: We can evaluate technique, assignment knowledge, other intricacies for OL now ... Obviously a big part missing in physicality. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) June 18, 2014
Kelly on Matt Tobin: He's a guy in year two, so there's less thinking, much more comfortable in his assignments. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) June 18, 2014
Coach Kelly: "Guys are challenging themselves to get better... we want a bunch of guys who love playing football." — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) June 18, 2014
