Foles takes more reps than Vick and other Eagles practice observationsNick Foles had the slight edge in quarterback repetitions with the first team. According to my math, Foles took 21 snaps and Michael Vick had 15. Vick had the edge last Monday. Vick took 21 snaps to Foles’ 16 with the second team. Matt Barkley’s snaps with the third team increase dramatically over last Monday. NFL's Dumbest Teams: Chip Kelly Must Re-Educate Philadelphia EaglesThe Eagles fielded plenty of talent last year, especially on offense. It was certainly enough talent to win more than four games. But Andy Re...

Eagles quarterback, Michael Vick, was on 97.5 The Fanatic last week and Sheil Kapadia of Birds 24/7 transcribed some key points from Vick's interview with Mike Missanelli. Of the comments Vick made during the interview segment, one is sure evoke some added questions from fans and media alike. During the segment with Missanelli, the former Pro Bowler stated the following when asked about his turnovers: "The other day, I broke out in the pocket, and the first thing Chip told me was to tuck the football," Vick said. "So I showed him how I was running with it, and he looked at it and he k...

Everyone is wondering if Michael Vick can cut it in Chip Kelly's new read-option-based offense. Will his line speed and ability to scramble outweigh Vick's questionable decision making and slowness getting rid of the ball? I spoke with Charles Fischer, who has written about Kelly for years as head of the highly respected blog FishDuck, which obsessively analyzes Oregon Ducks strategy and plays. His thinks Vick will be incredible. The reason is Darron Thomas. If that name doesn't ring a bell, it shouldn't for NFL fans. Following two amazing years at Oregon, Thomas went pro after his...

There will be a lot of positions contested at the NovaCare complex in the coming months, but none will be more closely followed that the QB battle. According to Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin, Michael Vick is your early leader. "Right now, you've got Mike going with the ones and Nick 'sprinkled in,' Maclin said Thursday. So Vick is taking the majority of the first team snaps, which is a pretty good indication that he's the early leader for the job. This isn't really a surprise given that he's the most experienced and well paid QB on the roster, but it's worth noting that he's got the inside t...

Tim McManus gleaned an interesting tidbit from a recent Matt Barkley appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic. It was announced that he'll be wearing #2 next season because his college number, #7, is currently worn by Michael Vick. Another option would have been his high school number, 5, but he felt that wouldn't be right. "No. I think that was too soon after Donovan [McNabb]," said Barkley. "That would be a disrespectful to him and the quarterback play he had. So he landed on #2, which a few Eagles fans noted was worn by another long time Eagles great, David Akers. But as turns out, the Eagles...

Colt Anderson touched off a bit of a frenzy amongst Eagles fans this morning when he tweeted out the results of what was apparently an impromptu race between Eagles QB Michael Vick and RB LeSean McCoy. Vick just beat Shady in a 40 yard race. @mikevick — Colt Anderson (@AndersonColt) May 2, 2013 Why were these two racing at all? Mike Florio got on the case and apparently got some details. McCoy had been riding Vick for weeks, calling him "old man" and challenging Vick to a footrace. Vick had been laughing it off, until today. Today, Vick had enough. So he asked coach Chip Kelly i...

What Chip Kelly does with quarterback position will undoubtedly play a big part in how fast he's able to rebuild this Eagles team back to relevance. If he ends up starting Matt Barkley, it could take him some time to develop. If he started Foles, he'd also have to develop as well but with both he and Barkley there's always the chance that they just can't play. Then there's Michael Vick, the only thing close to a "proven commodity" on the team. That said, his play last season wasn't proof of much, at least much of anything good. However, speaking to the WIP morning show, Chip Kelly said...

Vick excited to play for Kelly and his high-octane offense.

Desean Jackson was a guest of NFL Network this week in the wake of his victory in NFL.com's "Greatest Play of All Time" vote. However, the conversation centered mostly of his thoughts about the current state of the Eagles. He says that the tempo and methods that have already been present at the offseason workouts are a change from the previous regime. "Chip Kelly he has come in and started an energy in this building with determination [and] with hard work," said Jackson. "I haven't been doing some of these workouts we are doing right now since college. They are just up-tempo, very fas...

Go back through the site's archives sometime, to 2008. This was the year immediately following that disastrous 2007, when Falcons fans were sharply divided about Michael Vick, Bobby Petrino had just bolted and every move the organization made was met with caution. It's difficult to conceive of this now, particular for those of you who became fans in the Mike Smith era, but at that moment we had more or less hit bottom as fans. There was no reason to believe what came next would be worse, but there was certainly not a lot of optimism about the 2008 season. Longtime players left, the tea...

The day the Atlanta Falcons drafted Matt Ryan become known as the revival of the franchise's current era. A dark cloud hung over the city's head in the wake of Bobby Petrino's depature and Michael Vick's imprisonment, but Ryan restored order and brought about the most successful period in, well, ever for Atlanta. Now, nearing the end of his rookie contract, it's time for him to get paid. Quarterbacks are becoming more expensive as time progresses. A year ago Drew Brees became the highest-paid player in league history. A month ago Joe Flacco claimed that title. Now Aaron Rodgers is clos...

The first round of voting has concluded for our hypothetical Falcoholic video game. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Roddy White, Jamal Anderson, Warrick Dunn and Jeff Van Note all made it through to the second round. Also prevailing were Michael Vick, who was up against Bobby Petrino, and Chipper Jones, who was up against the New Orleans Saints. Vick actually played several years for the Falcons, as opposed to sneaking out of town after a few months, like Petrino, and even though Chipper Jones played baseball and not football, clearly most people prefer him to the Saints. Sadly for Vick and Ch...
