With training camp just about here, the Eagles’ quarterback competition is getting a lot of attention from the national media. Here’s the roundup.

What’s in store for LeSean McCoy in 2013? And can Bryce Brown fix his fumbling issues? Our latest training camp preview looks at the Eagles’ running back situation.

Who has the best shot at the Pro Bowl under Chip Kelly? Can we expect the special teams to improve in 2013? That and more in the latest Twitter Mailbag.

While on vacation, I was able to comb back over The Essential Smart Football by Chris B. Brown.

Many of you are familiar with Brown from his Web site and his work on Grantland. If you haven’t checked out the book yet, I highly recommend doing so in the next couple months leading up to the season.

Brown has written extensively on Chip Kelly in the past, so it should come as no surprise that many of the concepts he tackles in his book apply to the 2013 Eagles. Below are some thoughts on four specific concepts that stood out to me.

“Few coaches think Kelly will succeed,” according to one national writer.

Who is the most indispensable player on the Eagles’ roster? LeSean McCoy? Jason Peters? Fletcher Cox? We take a look.

A warning about Chip Kelly and more. Here’s what the national media are saying about the Eagles this week.

Jeremy Maclin has seen his friend LeSean McCoy go through ups and downs during his first four seasons in the league.

In 2011, McCoy totaled 1,624 yards from scrimmage and 20 touchdowns, earning All-Pro honors. But he dealt with injuries and a banged-up offensive line in 2012, averaging 4.2 yards per carry, his lowest number since his rookie season.

Meanwhile, after the 4-12 campaign ended, McCoy made headlines for unflattering reasons – first engaging in a public Twitter fight with the mother of his son and then being sued for allegedly assaulting a woman on a party bus.

McCoy is a few weeks shy of his 25th birthday, and the goals now are clear: Get back to being one of the league’s elite running backs and avoid negative press off the field.

LeSean McCoy‘s celebrity softball game, which raises money to help fight ALS, is this Saturday in Lancaster. (Details here.) The Eagles’ running back called into 97.5 The Fanatic this week to promote the event and of course talk a little ball.

McCoy was asked about the quarterback situation and whether he, like Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson, wants more clarity when it comes to the depth chart.

“The thing about Michael Vick is, he’s a 12-year vet, he’s put his work in in the league, and his voice means a lot,” said McCoy.

We went over the defense yesterday.

Here is the projected depth chart for the Eagles’ offense, based on what we saw during spring practices. Explanations below.

The Eagles unveiled a new role for Lane Johnson on Friday, lining him up in the slot on a wide receiver screen.

Jason Peters recently said that in this offense, there is “a lot of running the ball; the passing is mixed in.”  If you were to describe Andy Reid‘s approach, you would say the exact opposite.

The ground game is coming to Philly. Envious, Duce Staley?

“Ahhh, of course I am,” said Staley with a laugh Thursday. “If you’re a running back, you should be excited.”

Staley will have to settle for coaching this group of running backs, who are more important than ever to the success of the Eagles. And he has an intriguing group to work with.

Our depth chart outlook series continues with a look at the Eagles’ running backs.

“There’s so much you have to look at where sometimes a big hole might just happen from guys being out of place,” said LeSean McCoy. “The backs we have here, you don’t even need that much room to get going.”

LeSean McCoy left practice early Monday because of apparent knee discomfort.

The 24-year-old back was seen working off on the side in the later portion of practice and getting stretched out by the training staff. He told a couple of reporters afterwards that his knee was bothering him.

Jason Peters, Cary Williams, Patrick Chung, Fletcher Cox and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland all missed practice, as weather interfered with their travel plans.

Williams, who was recently married, was absent last week as well. Curtis Marsh got first-team reps opposite Bradley Fletcher in Williams’ place.

With Chung out of the picture, Kurt Coleman and Nate Allen were the first-team safeties.

Michael Vick is clearly tired of answering questions about how he’s not good enough at reading NFL defenses.

The Eagles’ veteran quarterback talked to Mike Missanelli during a 97.5 The Fanatic interview earlier this week and was asked to address critics who have pointed out that he doesn’t make quick enough reads and holds on to the football too long.

“I’m really tempted right now to just say no comment to that because like I said a second ago, you don’t last 12 years in the NFL not being able to read the defense,” Vick said. “Those people who are talking and saying that are just ignorant, and they know nothing about football. Unless they turn on the film and watch my game and see what goes on, then they’ll replace those comments with the right comments.”
