Parkey's 2 missed kicks no cause for concern, Kelly says

The difference in the Eagles' kicking game between last summer and this one showed by the way Eagles coach Chip Kelly reacted to a poor performance.

Alex Henery's first field-goal attempt of the 2014 preseason sailed wide right from 47 yards away, and Kelly had little patience for his kicker. One week later, the team traded for a rookie named Cody Parkey.

Parkey won the job and made the Pro Bowl in his first season. But his 2015 preseason opener included a missed extra point from 33 yards away and a 34-yard field-goal try that hooked right.
