The Eagles are now left very thin at receiver after Jeremy Maclin's season ending ACL injury and Riley Cooper's excused absence from the team after the use of a racial slur. Young guys will have to step up. This is certainly worth watching in the coming weeks and months ahead.
Jobs in the secondary are wide open as it is still yet to be determined who the starting corners and safeties will be. As Chip Kelly says the depth chart right now is written in sand, and the preseason will go a long way in revealing who the starting four are in the back end.
Perhaps the most challenging transition the Eagles are going to have to deal with is going from a 4-3 to a 3-4. Especially for a veteran like Trent Cole who has been in a 4-3 system his entire pro career. Training camp, the preseason, and the ultimate test in the regular season will go a long way in determining if the transition is a smooth one.
Chip Kelly brings his patented uptempo no huddle style to the pros. Reports have recently come out that the referees may plan to slow this well oiled machine down. Will Kelly still be able to fully implement his warp speed offense in the NFL? This is something to hone in on as the regular season approaches.
