2010 Eagles Training Camp - Kolb Impresses On Day One

The Eagles held their first practice with rookies and selected veterans today. From the coverage it seems that Kevin Kolb & Michael Vick were the only notable vets at camp so far. BGN will be live at camp next week, but for this first week we'll continue aggregating coverage to get a clear picture of what's going on at Lehigh.

The Eagles practiced in just shorts and shells today and as I said very few notable vets were in attendance, but Kevin Kolb was the guy who was generating all the buzz. In fact CSN Philly's Jordan Ranaan says that not one Kolb pass hit the ground. Geoff Mosher noticed just one pass to hit the grass after a Jordan Norwood drop. Jeff McLane started the day joking about Kolb, but when practice was over he was impressed. "One observation: Kolb looked very, very sharp. (In all seriousness)"

The only other real buzz around cam was the former Eagles Duce Staley was back as a coaching intern and apparently has gained a ton of weight. If someone has a picture, I'd love to see it.

A few of the young Eagles reacted to their first practice on twitter.

Jeff Owens - First practice went well still learning the system

Jamar Chaney1st practice in the books! Had a great one, but still got to improve in the 2nd practice! Heading to meeting & lunch now!

Trevor Laws had an interesting tweet... "Who is the toughest nig of them all?!?? LEHIGH 2010"

Kurt Coleman1 down 1 to go...and then it's on to the next one

Finally, Kevin Kolb got an encouraging text before practice from none other than Donovan McNabb.

"I appreciate him reaching out and offering me good luck. Not everyone is like that. But we've always had a good relationship."

Hopefully the text was something like “Our team really looks like crap so far. You guys are going to stomp us.”

thats quite the subliminal message

If he said the G before the N, it would have been BGN.

Well done DMac. Classy guy.

To be fair

early practice is geared such that Kolb better be impressive. I’m not so worried about him being able to perform without getting his uniform dirty. It’s how he does once he gets his bell rung and how he does week in and week out that will determine what kind of QB he’ll be.

FWIW, I think he’ll be lights out early in the year, then when defenses catch up to him he’ll struggle. It’s what comes next that I don’t have a clue about.

Donovan still caring about Kolb. Class Act.

A.I. IS BACKKKKKKK

lets just say it now...Trevor Laws is the defensive version of Lorenzo Booker

No one likes him, no one wants him on the team, and apparently everyone finds his twitter posts retarded. I’m pretty sure he is the biggest bust of the andy reid era…even Jerome McDougle had a tackle every now and then.

by NJEagle on Jul 27, 2010 12:25 PM EDT reply actions  

He was a 2nd round pick....

He can’t be the biggest bust, that goes to FredEx.

Man's best freind is not a dog....but an Eagle

4th and 26

laws was our first pick in that draft though.

by NJEagle on Jul 27, 2010 12:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Looks like the tweet was removed.

if ya ask me

I think Dmac is bein corny….like that ex girlfriend who wont leave you the eff alone cuz she still thinks there something there. He SHOULD be focusing on HIS new team…instead hes texting the eagles new QB…….jus sayin

Nothing wrong with it

Just reaching out to a friend. He doesn’t have to worry every second of the day that he is back to a team without anyone who can’t catch a ball thrown their way.

It turns out I overestimated my apathy, but not enough to matter.

1st day

I was at the first day of practice and Riley Cooper was the standout to me. Good hands and fast off the line.
