Players, prospects, coaches and scouts have all just finished mini camp which honestly is the start of the new football year for 2015. The scouts and coaches worked hard adding prospects to the roster and mini camp was the time to add them in with the players and see how they process instructions and perform. What amazed me was the business of football during this time with writers clamoring for stories and Philly's media is renowned for chomping for stories. Here's some of the storylines we've seen so far at the start of the 2015:
Can Sam Bradford stay healthy and flourish in Chip Kelly's offense.
Is this year's version of the Eagles a rebuild (5 new starters of offense, 5 new starters on defense) or a reload?
Can Nelson Agholor and Eric Rowe contribute as 2015 high round draft picks?
Will Marcus Smith erase last year's unremarkable year as the team's 1st round draft pick?
Is Chip Kelly a genius or a clown?
The last question is really why everyone is captivated by Kelly as they are intrigued with his unique methods of football management. It's the only way you can explain the 101 reporters showing up for Kelly's opening Organized Training Activities press conference. The national media can't get enough of Kelly and while he appears disinterested, something tells me his ego loves it. As an Eagle fan I'm kind of in the middle because I appreciate that the team is getting coverage but honestly I just want to win and if Kelly wants to flip the roster and he's confident that the team can jell then I'm onboard. Time will tell but training camp is next up and I want to see how this rebuild or reload comes together!
What storylines do you expect or are hopeful of coming out of training camp?
