Early Birds: Why Chip Kelly is "excited" by preseason schedule; Trey Burton as No. 3 TE; E.J. Biggers impressing coaches

1) If the Eagles saw Andrew Luck, Joe Flacco, and Aaron Rodgers in consecutive weeks during the regular season, it could aggravate a coach. But when Chip Kelly saw the Colts, Ravens, and Packers on the preseason schedule in the first three weeks, it “excited” Kelly.

If the preseason is a chance to evaluate the roster, he wants the NFL’s top quarterbacks doing the testing.

“You're talking about three of the top quarterbacks in this league, so our secondary will be tested,” Kelly said. “It's good for them; It's real good work for them.”

Luck played only 11 snaps against the Eagles, so the defense didn’t get much work against him.
