Andy’s Reid‘s agent stirred things up Saturday with his comments to reporters suggesting the head coach can keep his job as long as Jeffrey Lurie is in power.

Lurie quickly released a statement to separate himself from that notion. And on Sunday, Reid tried to do the same.

“I don’t get into any of that,” Reid said per Reuben Frank of CSN Philly. “I’m a one-day-at-a-time kind of guy, one year, one play, the whole deal. So that’s not how I operate. I don’t worry about all that.”

Bob LaMonte, agent for Andy Reid and many other coaches and executives around the league, stopped by Eagles training camp Saturday afternoon.

Tim has a story up with LaMonte’s comments about Reid’s future, along with Jeffrey Lurie’s ensuing response.

Here are some of the other things LaMonte had to say.

Nick Foles had a chance to run with the second-team Saturday. A look at how he fared. Also, Jeffrey Lurie and super-agent Bob LaMonte have a back-and-forth on the security level of Andy Reid; and there’s a new left tackle in town.

Damaris Johnson was lined up one-on-one with Brandon Hughes and had a step on the cornerback down the left sideline.

Michael Vick let go of the football, but before it arrived, Hughes made contact with Johnson, broke up the pass and landed on the 5-foot-8 wide receiver.

Johnson grimaced and was slow to get up. You could almost see him consider staying down for a moment, but instead, he fought through the initial pain and jogged towards the sideline.

If you are of the belief that Andy Reid needs to have a standout year in order to secure his future in Philadelphia, you might not want to hear what Reid’s agent had to say on the subject.

Speaking to a small group of reporters at Lehigh Saturday, Bob LaMonte said that owner Jeffrey Lurie has given him every indication that Reid is the Eagles coach for as long as he wants the gig. Or at least as long as Lurie is calling the shots.

“He has stated again and again any time that I’ve been with him, that as long as he was the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Andy Reid would be his head coach,” said LaMonte. “I would say the proof is in the pudding; he’s been here for 14 years.”

From Brandon Graham to Phillip Hunt to Vinny Curry, here’s a review of the Eagles’ defensive linemen after having re-watched Thursday night’s game against the Steelers.

The terms of Jeffrey Lurie‘s divorce settlement ensures he will retain full control over the Eagles, per Albert Breer of the NFL Network.

According to Breer, the New York Post report suggesting Christina Lurie would receive a “sizeable chunk” of the team was overstated.

Michael Vick‘s thumb still looked a little swollen Saturday as he exited the Varsity House following the morning walkthrough, and was squeezing a Play-Doh-like compound to help get the soreness out. In terms of the injuries the quarterback has endured over his nine-plus seasons in the NFL, though, this one barely registers.

“This injury is really in the way right now. It’s petty,” said Vick, who intends to practice Saturday afternoon. “There’s a little soreness that I have, but this is the type of injury I’ve been dealing with throughout my career, so it’s really minor.”

Eagles backup quarterback Mike Kafka fractured his left hand during Thursday night’s preseason game against the Steelers and will not be back at full strength for two-to-three weeks, Andy Reid said today.

“What you’ll see from him, he’ll come out to practice… everything where he doesn’t have to take a snap, he’ll be able to do,” Reid said. “So the 7-on-7, some of the individual work, he’ll do.”

Kafka suffered the injury when he had his hand stepped on in the second quarter.

In the meantime, rookie Nick Foles is your backup quarterback.

Demetress Bell said he received no explanation. And King Dunlap didn’t find out until Howard Mudd waved him in at this morning’s walkthrough. But there has been a shift at one of the most important positions in football, at least for now.

Dunlap worked with the first team at left tackle Saturday morning, and Andy Reid suggested the switch will last the entire week.

From Demetress Bell to Bryce Brown, here’s a player-by-player breakdown of the Eagles’ offense against the Steelers, after having re-watched the game.

On Michael Vick’s second drop-back of the preseason, he was sacked by Steelers defensive tackle Steve McLendon, who threw him to the ground.

On his fifth drop-back, Vick felt pressure from his front side, stepped up in the pocket, let go of the ball and slammed his thumb against Jason Kelce’s helmet.

A reasonable question to ask is: Why was Vick so close to Kelce when he released the football?

Here is my player-by-player review of the Eagles defensive backs after having re-watched Thursday night’s preseason game against the Steelers.

The Eagles defensive line was as disruptive as advertised, even without starters Trent Cole and Jason Babin. Unless you’re riding the Nick Foles wave, Jim Washburn’s unit was the source of comfort in an up-and-down preseason win over the Steelers.

There is one small issue to address.

“We’ve got tons of guys,” said Darryl Tapp.

They really do. Especially at defensive end. Cullen Jenkins started the game on the outside along with Tapp. Brandon Graham and Phillip Hunt were the next tandem in, and Vinny Curry followed.

The thing is, they all performed.
