Over and over the rookies talked about the speed of the practice under Chip Kelly.  They talked about how quickly the plays came in, were called and then run.

There seems to be quite a bit [...]

Finally the Eagles will hold a series of team practices starting on April 16th through April 18th.  These practices are allowed because the Birds have a new head coach.  All the teams in the NFL will be able to have practices after the draft, but only squads with new coaches will be able to practice [...]
