Eagles Get a Visit From Geno Smith

West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith is in town for an official visit with the Eagles, according to Albert Breer of NFL Network.

The 6-foot-2, 218-pound signal-caller spent yesterday with the Kansas City Chiefs and has been at the center of draft conversation the past couple of days. A Pro Football Weekly report earlier this week slammed Smith for his work ethic, among other things. As Tim noted this morning, Smith stood up for himself, calling the labels “untrue.”

Others refuted the claims as well.

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Kelly Conversation Heats Back Up

Nothing but positive vibes emanating from the NovaCare Complex at the moment, as you might expect. The Chip Kelly era is still drenched with that new car smell. Players are energized and eager to impress the new head man. His ideas are fresh and untapped. Optimism and anticipation rule, as they should.

Where it gets interesting is when theory becomes practice, when the players get knee-deep in the process of changing their training, their approach and their mindset. Kelly is introducing a whole new operation to the Eagles, and in some respects, the league. He will ask veteran players, who have made it this far doing things one way, to buy into his methods even though they haven’t been tested on the NFL level.

The opening of the offseason program marks the very beginning of this experiment. The entire NFL community is watching intently to see how it plays out.

Even At OLB, Key For Graham Is Rushing the Passer

Philadelphia Eagles DE Brandon Graham.The question posed to Brandon Graham was a simple one: Are you now an outside linebacker?

“I don’t know,” Graham said. “There’s been a lot of talk around a lot of things, but I don’t really know where they want to put me at. All I know is wherever they put me, I’m going to go full out.”

Of course, just last month, Graham told Birds 24/7 that he was preparing for the position change. And he basically backed up that notion today, saying he’d like to get down to 260 pounds (from 270, where he is now).
