The Eagles are amid their second week of OTAs this week, and they will practice throughout the next three weeks.

TRYING TO determine the primary reason for the Eagles' bad-awful pass defense last year is like trying to find an answer to the old chicken-or-egg question.

LeSean McCoy missed the second half of Monday's Organized Team Activities with what appeared to be some sort of leg injury, maybe a knee injury.

The previous Monday's peek was the first of the Chip Kelly era, so everything seemed exciting and new, from the blaring music to the relayed hand signals.

The Eagles coach already has provided the public with dozens of catch-phrases ranging from quarterbacks being like tea bags to his offense not thinking of invading another country.

Chip Kelly, in less than five months as head coach, has changed the way the team operates on just about every level.

As expected, Todd Herremans was moved to right guard after the Eagles took tackle Lane Johnson with their first overall draft pick.

Football Outsiders is doing a series of posts called "Red Flags," which take a look at the biggest remaining issue facing each team with the draft behind us and minicamps getting underway.

The Eagles definitely were working on a read-option for much of Monday's organized team activity, the first such session reporters have been allowed to watch during the Chip Kelly era.

Football Outsiders released their data for broken tackles by defenders today and the list of the worst offenders is well stocked with Eagles .

With his first draft in the books as an NFL head coach, Chip Kelly should initially be happy with the results.

THE EAGLES' 2013 draft seems to be generating high marks, as meaningless a notion as that might be before any of the prospects has even been measured for a midnight-green helmet.

Now that the 2013 NFL draft is over, all 32 teams feel like they have a better shot at reaching the Super Bowl next season.

So there was a feeling entering the draft that Chip Kelly and Howie Roseman were going to address the secondary fairly early in the process.

The point of a top pick is to acquire franchise or all-pro talent. Dude has that, the ability to get up to the second level blocking with his athleticism.

The Eagles spackled over a gaping and easily patched hole with the selection of Oklahoma offensive tackle Lane Johnson with the fourth overall selection in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night.
