The Facts:
The Penn Relays officially start April 25, the same day as the NFL draft, but McCoy believes they have already started, on the Eagles' practice field. "We're running so much -- it's like a freakin' track meet, like a relay. We need some extra guys," McCoy said Thursday, after the Eagles wrapped up their first three-day mini-camp under new HC Chip Kelly.

McCoy went on to explain how he thinks there will be plenty of work for himself, Bryce Brown and Chris Polk. "I've never played in an offense where the tempo was so high," McCoy said. "There's so many plays, so fast ... as soon as you're done, you've got to be ready for the next play." McCoy estimated there might be 10 seconds between practice reps, with the play calls relayed by "sign language." How fast is it? "It's like a no-huddle type of offense, but way faster," he said. McCoy said he looks forward to "catching the ball and running the ball" in Kelly's offense; he said he can't tell yet whether it will be weighted one way or another. "The offense looks amazing," he said. He said he thinks the Eagles "will be in the best shape in the league. ..." Intriguing? Oh yes. Stay tuned. We'll be watching for more as further details on Kelly's scheme emerge.
