Eagles quarterback Nick Foles worked out with the first team offense today at practice and Michael Vick worked out with the second team.

Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin told Jeff McLane of Philly.com that Michael Vick is ahead of Nick Foles in the battle for the starting quarterback position. “Right now, you’ve got Mike going with the ones and Nick ‘sprinkled in,’ some reps here and there,” Maclin told McLane on Thursday. When asked about whom he thought would be [...]

  The big question everybody is asking about the Eagles concerns their quarterback situation.  What does the drafting of Matt Barkley tell us about what Chip Kelly really wants in a quarterback?

Maybe Matt Barkley knows something that the rest of us don’t.  He was on 97.5 The Fanatic and made the following statement amongst the conversation. “So without a doubt, I have confidence that I can come in right away and make an impact.” It seems that everybody is challenging Michael Vick this week.  Here you’ve got a [...]

McCoy was said to have been telling Vick that he didn’t have the big-time speed any more, [...]

Everybody is trying to figure out why Chip Kelly and the Eagles decided to trade up and draft USC quarterback Matt Barkley in the fourth round.

The Eagles are practicing and Chip Kelly has got the Eagles players executing his uptempo offense and high repetition practices.  Michael Vick and Nick Foles split the snaps with the first team and Dennis Dixon even got the chance to get some reps.  Kelly says it’s no big deal right now, but everybody is trying [...]

Then head coach Andy Reid decided to keep Kafka [...]
