Sun, 23 Jul 2006 11:19:43 -0700
Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg was asked if the team would have competition at the fullback position during minicamp. Mornhinweg responded by saying, "Absolutely, there is going to be great competition there. That's an important position for us. We've got a lot of competition going on especially on offense. More than likely we'll have a host of young players playing for us so competition is great. One guy pushing another, and all of a sudden those guys are doing the very best they possibly can." During his press conference, he named FB Jason S. Davis as someone who has done an excellent job so far in training camp. He claims Davis' pass-catching ability is a positive for the team, but believes he could get stronger and add some strength.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg discussed QB Timmy Chang's progress with the team. "I think he's got something there. He really throws the football well. He's a tough guy; he's got a little juice to him. Again, he's just got a lot of learning to do like any new quarterback coming in. I think he is doing well. Especially, a young quarterback like he is, in this system in the NFL, you're going to make mistakes. It's almost [like] you can't get better without making mistakes. We understand that."
