NFL TRAINING CAMP DAY 1

Today began the official start of training camp for most teams in the NFL. This began the official count down to the first game of the NFL season, which is less then 60 days away. One of the head ling teams this off season were the New England Patriots. The patriots have had there share of problems and issues this off season, through free agency, and also from a few of there players getting into legal trouble this off season, but today they got to find out how far they were from becoming the playoff caliber team they were last season. This off season we heard about starting tight end for the Patriots Aaron Hernandez and his legal battles off of the field, but with all of this aside, the patriots had the daunting task of trying to replace Hernandez. Because of how big he is and how quick he is, this was going to be a challenging task to over come. The patriots will be trying a few people out to see who will now have the starting tight end job. Today was also a interesting day for other teams in the NFL. Brian Cushing of the Houston Texans, hit the field for the first time this year, since tearing his ACL this past season, in the Texans fourth game of the season. The Texans got to the second round of the playoffs this season and won the AFC south title for the second year in a row. Cushing's motivation to get well this past season was his son, and the phrase "I got a lot more to prove now " he said earlier Friday. Other headlining news that will be solved during training camp, is the starting quarter back position for the Philadelphia Eagles. The eagles have had there share of troubles this past season, and for the past few seasons, from there offensive line constantly being criticized, to there coaching situation. After firing there coach this past off season, the eagles were hopeing today would be the start of there new team and new identity. After a day of trying to win the job, it isn't clear who will have the job the first game of the season, but we do have insight, in the two quarterbacks that will possibly represent the eagles in there first game. New Eagles coach Chip Kelly said Friday, during training camp Vick and Foles will split the reps. This season will be a very interesting season, for all teams because of the interesting stories and free agency that happened during this off season.
