As Michael Vick came trotting off the field Wednesday afternoon, he smiled at reporters in search of an update. “Felt good,” he said. “Got a […]

Chip Kelly had the following to say about Earl Wolff last week when asked if he was considering starting the rookie safety against the Chiefs.

“No, we’re still — I think Earl is growing, and we’ll continue to grow him, but he’s still making some mistakes out there,” said Kelly. “I think they’re bringing him along and we’re excited about what his future is, but we still don’t think he’s ready to go the whole way.”

The plan was to ease the fifth-round pick in; to feed him game situations in doses before giving him a full workload. The NFL has a way of cancelling your plans without much notice. Patrick Chung went down with a shoulder injury against the Chiefs and has yet to practice this week. Wolff will not only make his first NFL start this Sunday in all likelihood, but do so against Peyton Manning.

Ready?

“Yes I am,” said Wolff.

With the Eagles off since Thursday, Manning is in catch-up mode. And he doesn’t sound particularly happy about it.

“We’re coming off of a short week – it was nice of the NFL to give Philly [10] days and give us six,” Manning said. “So we’ve got to handle that.”

Kelly was informed of Manning’s comments, and was asked if he had any thoughts in response.

“No,” he said.

Is that a nice edge to have?

“Scheduling,” said Kelly. “When do we go play? If we’ve got to play in a parking lot, we’ll play in a parking lot. We don’t care.”

Chip Kelly‘s phone went off during the middle of his day-after press conference Friday afternoon.

“Sorry guys, hold on,” he said as he worked to stop the ringing, to no avail. Finally, after a little fumbling, he slid the device into his pocket and returned to taking questions.

“Can’t even get a press conference straight,” he said.

Such is the life of a rookie coach in the midst of his first losing streak.

After an explosive start back on September 9 against Washington, Kelly’s Eagles have crashed back down to Earth. Turnovers, mental errors and defensive breakdowns have all been a part of it.

Kelly’s approach has also come under the microscope in a few instances.

Here’s what we saw from the ‘D’ after having re-watched Sunday’s contest.

Chip Kelly recognizes that the Eagles have a safety issue. The problem? It looks like there might not be a solution.

“Right now?” Kelly asked after Sunday’s loss to the Chargers. “There aren’t any safeties on the street, I can tell you that. So we’re going to play with the ones we’ve got.”

Raise your hand if you take that as a ringing endorsement of the players on the roster.

Here’s a look at Eagles snap counts against the Chargers, with notes on Brandon Graham, James Casey, Earl Wolff and others.

The following Eagles are inactive for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers: QB Matt Barkley, CB Bradley Fletcher, CB Shaun Prater, OT Matt Tobin, OT Dennis Kelly, DE Vinny Curry and TE Emil Igwenagu.

Last week, we walked around the Eagles’ locker room and approached players with the following request:

Give me one teammate who’s impressed you this summer and is primed for a big year.

Several players didn’t want to get specific, but others provided responses. Here is what they said.

Here are 10 things to know about how the Eagles’ defense matches up with the Redskins’ offense.

Earlier this afternoon, Chip Kelly said that Nate Allen would start at safety opposite Patrick Chung.

But in the end, that might not end up mattering much.

Kelly conceded that Earl Wolff would see time too, and the rookie safety echoed that sentiment after today’s practice.

“I honestly feel like me and Nate probably will get almost an equal opportunity on the field Monday night,” Wolff said. “He [Chip Kelly] told me I’m gonna play every quarter. Like I said, I don’t know exactly how much I’m gonna play. I’m just gonna be ready to take advantage of every opportunity.”

The fight for the final starting safety spot could come down to the wire.

Chip Kelly told reporters Monday that the starters will not play  in the preseason finale against the Jets. That likely includes Patrick Chung, who has nailed down a starting job. As for the other post?

“I think we’ll get some work depending on how Billy [Davis] wants to rotate those guys back there, so we may get an opportunity to see them” said Kelly. “I think Pat may not go on Thursday but the other guys will go. Trying to finalize it that way.”
