Eagles QB Michael Vick is expected to miss Sunday's start vs. Tampa Bay due to his hamstring injury. Nick Foles time. Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter DawkinsINT's Take: Foles has played really well in Kelly's system so far. Can't wait to see what he does with a full week of practice as the starter.
A real interesting thing to see will be how this will effect McCoy since there won't be the QB running threat to keep defenses more honest.
IMO, the presence of a better, more consistent passing attack (which I believe Foles will provide) will even things out.
That's my hope as well, but with the lack of a deep arm, teams will probably keep their defenses in more until Foles proves he can be effective downfield.
Chip Kelly just said in his press conference that Vick is day-to-day, not ruled out to start next week.
Chucked a 40 yard pass to Brent Celek on a dime. He won't be launching 60 yarders, but how many of those did Vick connect on anyways? I'm excited for it. I hope Foles gets another game.
Hey, [MENTION=1219]bigsexyy81[/MENTION] , from the press conference today about McCoy going forward with Foles at the helm: Reporter: Teams are going to defend you differently with Nick in as far as the running game. Can you counter with different things that we haven't seen yet? Chipper: No, we're done. :rollinglaugh: :rollinglaugh: I love Chip.
