PHILADELPHIA -- While Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson are eager to know who will be the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback, its clear Chip Kelly isnt picking a guy before training camp. Kellys logic makes sense to others. "I havent been evaluating our quarterbacks because Im focused on the offensive line but I really dont see the point of Chip Kelly naming a starting QB before camp," veteran Evan Mathis told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "This is an entirely new coaching staff with an entirely new offence, which isnt even fully installed yet. Its not rocket science; whoever the coaches feel will help the team the most will win the job after proving himself in training camp and preseason." Vick and Nick Foles competed along with rookie Matt Barkley throughout the teams spring practices. Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne also took reps. "To make any decisions on who someone is from wearing shorts and T-shirts, doesnt make sense to us," Kelly said last week. Thats why a starter wont be named by the time training camp opens July 22. Of course, Vick and Jackson prefer to know now. "Hopefully, Chip makes a decision before training camp and we wont have to answer that question," Vick told the media last week, "so we can go out there as quarterbacks and just focus on this season and not answer questions about competition every day." Jackson, the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, echoed those thoughts when asked about the quarterback competition in an interview with the NFL Network on Tuesday. "So far, I dont know, it has been kind of even. Vick and Foles have been switching off (with) first team (and) second team," Jackson said. "So its the same thing with them. I have been hearing some things about Vick saying that he wants to know. At the same time, the team wants to know, too. We need to go into training camp prepared and know who is going to be our starting quarterback. "Whether its Foles or Vick, I think they would both do a great job and we will be ready for the season." All that matters is Kellys opinion. He wants to see the players compete in pads at camp and in games in August. Now, its just too close to call. "Theyre both coachable. They both want to win. Theyre both here as many hours as they possibly can be here. They both really work at the game and want to get better," Kelly said. "Doesnt matter how long Mikes been in the league or Nick or what systems hes come from. Theyre both really wrapping around what (quarterbacks coach) Billy (Lazor) and (offensive co-ordinator) Pat (Shurmur) are teaching them. "So, I think its fun." Vick, a four-time Pro Bowl pick, has battled injuries and inconsistency the last two years after having his best all-around season as a pro in 2010. Foles, a third-round pick last year, was 1-5 as a starter last year on a team that finished 4-12. Foles completed 60.8 per cent of his passes for 1,699 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions, but couldnt save former coach Andy Reids job. "The only thing thats in my control is what I do on the field," Foles said after the team finished minicamp. "I dont go to sleep at night, sweating, wondering where I am (on the depth chart). What I can do is work hard, come out, be on the field and be a leader to these guys. Execute the plays. "Make the guys around me better." Of the five quarterbacks on the roster, Dixon is most familiar with Kelly. Dixon had a standout career at Oregon when Kelly was offensive co-ordinator with the Ducks, but has only started three games in five seasons in the NFL. He spent last year with the Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens on their practice squad. "He keeps everyone on their toes," Dixon said of Kelly. "As an athlete, you have to be ready. Whenever your name is called, you have to be ready."Swell Black Friday .5 million, one-year contract on Friday.

Haslem made the revelation Saturday after a promotional appearance where hundreds of Heat fans began lining up to see the Miami native five hours before he arrived. Surgery will occur soon, he said, and Haslem expects to be ready for training camp this fall. "It forces me to be smart and take my time with recovery this summer," said Haslem, who just completed his 10th NBA season, all with Miami. "Obviously, I dont heal like I used to so Ive got to be a lot smarter and this forces me to be smart. My bodys a little weary right now, a lot more weary than it was after last year." Haslem averaged 3.9 points in 75 regular-season games this past season for the Heat, who captured their second straight NBA title. Haslem and Dwyane Wade are the only players who have been part of all three of Miamis NBA championship clubs. He only missed three games before the final week of the regular season, sitting out Dec. 10 against Atlanta with flu-like symptoms, Dec. 29 against Milwaukee with a neck contusion and Feb. 14 against Oklahoma City after remaining back in Miami with what the team called a bruised right leg. Haslem got hurt two nights earlier, leaving a Feb. 12 home game against Portland after only nine minutes. Haslem played 50 games after that injury, including Miamis playoff run. "Im already thinking about recovery," Haslem said. Its already been a hectic off-season for Miami, which made the decision to use a team option and keep starting point guard Mario Chalmers and had three other players -- Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis and James Jones -- all exercise their player-option rights to return next season. Just about everyone in the organization, including Heat President Pat Riley and stars LeBron James and Wade, said they wanted those players to stick around for another year. TThe next decision that should affect the Heat is the one that will be made by forward Chris "Birdman" Andersen, who becomes a free agent on Monday.ddddddddddddMiami wants him back badly, and the Heat were 54-8 in games where Andersen played this season. "I expected everybody that had the opportunity to come back to make the choice to come back," Haslem said. "Hopefully everything will work out with Bird and well have him back again at it as well. I have no idea what hell do, but he fit in great with us. He was what we needed in that role. To me, its almost a no-brainer." Haslem was on the 2006-07 Heat team that came back virtually intact after winning a title, and remembers how many issues plagued that team, starting with several veterans showing up for training camp out of shape. With it now virtually certain that next seasons Heat team will be pretty close to the one that beat San Antonio in seven games for this seasons championship, Haslem is sure that the same issues wont be a problem again. "Everybody will be in shape," Haslem said. "Me and D-Wade learned that the hard way. And LeBron sets the standard so high, man, everybodys got to keep up with him so nobody wants to come back out of shape." Haslem signed hundreds of autographs for 90 minutes, then scribbled his name on many more items thrust toward him by people still waiting in line when his appearance Saturday was completed. Many of those on line at a Sports Authority store wore shirts and jerseys with Haslems name on the back, which he still finds mindboggling. He left $14 million on the negotiating table three summers ago just so he could remain with the Heat and not go elsewhere as a free agent. "Its amazing," Haslem said. "Its amazing. You start to think that people are used to you and they dont appreciate you anymore, but every time they get an opportunity they come out and show me love. Theres a lot of support and thats what its all about. Thats why I stayed here." ' ' '
