Eagles Check Out 359-Pound Nose Tackle John Jenkins

Big and beautiful.

That’s how John Jenkins describes himself. During weigh-ins at the Senior Bowl this week, no prospect tipped the scales more than the 359-pound nose tackle out of Georgia.

Jenkins, a projected first-round pick, played well in Mobile, but he knows the questions about his weight are not going away any time soon.

“The biggest question will be… they heard the rumor about me being 370, and I came in at 359,” he said. “Now the question is going to be, ‘What are you going to weigh at the combine?’ That’s going to be the biggest question. And then when I bring it down, they’re going to be like ‘Ok, this man is serious.'”

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Where Things Stand With Kelly’s Staff

A week ago today, the Eagles introduced Chip Kelly as their new head coach.

His first order of business was to fill out his staff. The Eagles are not confirming any of the moves and plan to announce all the hires at once. But many of the pieces are in place. Here’s a look at where things currently stand.

Local QB Prospect Nassib Meets With Eagles, Kelly

MOBILE, Ala. – Ryan Nassib had seen Howie Roseman on TV in the past. But the Syracuse quarterback prospect had never met the Eagles’ general manager.

Until this week – that is.

The Eagles’ brass are at the Senior Bowl, doing their due diligence on a number of prospects, including Nassib, who is from West Chester and attended Malvern Prep.

“I have talked to Coach [Chip] Kelly and a couple other people with the Eagles,” Nassib said. “The offense that he ran at Oregon was kind of similar to the one I ran in my last year with the read zone and stuff. He actually did a study on one of our best plays and knew all about it, so it’s actually pretty cool. Hopefully the opportunity comes. Philly’s my city, so we’ll see.”

Playing Against Chip Kelly’s Offense

Chase Thomas was in no mood to crow.

The Stanford linebacker was part of a defensive attack that slowed down Chip Kelly and Oregon last season. The Ducks failed to score at least 35 points just one time in 2012 – against Thomas, head coach David Shaw and the Cardinal in a 17-14 loss.

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Prepping For the 3-4

There is a good chance the Eagles switch over to a 3-4 under Chip Kelly — a sizable project in what will turn out to be a rather extensive remodeling effort this offseason.

Kelly hasn’t publicly committed to the transition, and perhaps it would be best to officially have a defensive coordinator in place before doing so. But there is a sense that he would like to make the move.

According to Howie Roseman, the team’s preparations for such a change predate Kelly coming on board.
