The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... Vick met with reporters Wednesday after two days of installing Chip Kelly's new Eagles offense, and the incumbent quarterback said there has been a lot of read-option so far. Vick didn't provide a lot of details, beyond saying he feels it will be exciting. "The offense is very refreshing ... it's beautiful when it all comes together," Vick said. When asked about the competition for the starting job Kelly outlined Tuesday, Vick lauded Nick Foles and the idea of competing. But he also said: "This is still my team. This is still my job."

Reporters aren't allowed to watch this extra minicamp allotted new coaches. So Wednesday's first opportunity to talk to players after they'd been on the field provided an opportunity to figure out how the offense will look. Obviously, the whole offense isn't even installed yet, the competition has hardly begun and Vick didn't have many details. "I felt like I made a big jump from yesterday to today," he said. "Actually going out there and practicing and seeing it against different defenses. I was very accurate today, guys running wide open -- and I think that's the system -- but guys were running wide open, our defense did a great job, but I was able to make some tight throws. I feel like the learning curve for me in this system is coming along. ..." According to Daily News staffer Les Bowen, Vick, who looked more muscular than usual, said: "I've been doing a lot of work in the weight room. All the other quarterbacks have, as well. We're trying to make sure we're physically fit and ready for whatever needs to be done in this offense. ..." Stay tuned. More undoubtedly to come.
