Wholesale NBA Jerseys .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.PHILADELPHIA -- DeSean Jackson caught Michael Vicks pass over the middle, took a couple steps and braced himself for a hit that Kurt Coleman never delivered. Hard to break the habit. Jackson and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles have nothing to worry about this training camp. Tackling is a no-no for coach Chip Kelly. "We have four preseason games for that," Kelly said. When 30,000 fans came to Lincoln Financial Field to see the Eagles first practice in full pads under Kelly, they saw fast-paced, up-tempo action. But they didnt see any hitting. That was a shock, particularly to older fans who watched physical summer practices when Andy Reid, Buddy Ryan and Dick Vermeil coached the Eagles. "Its like theyre playing two-hand touch now," said longtime fan Joe Iazulla. "They dont even hit each other anymore. Its sissy football." Former players were surprised, too. Brian Dawkins, Garry Cobb and others watched from the sideline on Alumni Day in disbelief. They wondered why they had to endure those rough, two-a-day practices not so long ago. "We used to kill each other in camp," said Cobb, a linebacker for Detroit, Philadelphia and Dallas from 1979-89. "Buddy worked us so hard that veteran players sometimes wanted to quit right there on the field. It was grueling. We left a lot of years on that practice field in training camp. Many of us couldve played longer in the NFL if we didnt hit that much in camp." No tackling is new to the Eagles, but its become normal around the NFL. Teams have been trending toward less physical camps in recent years, especially after the new collective bargaining agreement limited the number of practices and hitting. The league is being sued by about 4,200 players who say they suffer from dementia, Alzheimers disease and other neurological conditions, which they believe stem from on-field concussions. Kellys explanation is injury prevention, though hes already lost three players for the season to ACL tears in the first two weeks of camp. "When you get guys on the ground, its not really the two guys that get tackled, its whats chasing it," Kelly said. "Were trying to keep everybody in every situation up. If Im blocking my guy and Im trying to finish to the whistle, two guys in front of me fell, thats where the biggest thing occurs. Its the pileups. Most of the time its not the tackle or the tackler, its the rest of the guys coming through. You have a lot of big bodies moving. Theres a fine line what we have to get done from a work standpoint.dddddddddddd We also know we have to get our guys to the game, too." Reid, who was fired after 14 seasons in Philadelphia, took his opposite approach to Kansas City. The Chiefs werent used to tackling in camp under recent coaches Romeo Crennel and Todd Haley. "You have to be a good tackling team," Reid said. "Normally, good tackling teams end up playing late in the year -- or I guess, early in the year." That philosophy didnt work for Reid last year when the Eagles finished 4-12 and had one of the worst tackling defences in recent history. But Reids teams went to the playoffs nine times and he usually had them playing their best football late in the season. "Its football, so youre going to get hit," Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles said. "I think we need to get hit as early as possible. We dont need to wait until the last minute to get hit. I think its good." Far more AFC teams tackle in camp than in the NFC. The New York Jets, Miami, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Denver and San Diego tackle to the ground to some degree whether its scrimmages, 9-on-7 drills or goal-line situations. "Youre not going to keep a guy on defence if he cant tackle, but you better find out," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. In the NFC, Detroit, Atlanta, San Francisco, Green Bay and Dallas have tackled to the ground on rare occasions such as open scrimmages for fans. "Weve had a couple of periods where we have gone live tackling, not very many," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "I think everybody is going to try to control that. Youre not going to have full contact and things like that." Former players disagree. "We used to tackle in every drill," said Brian Baldinger, an offensive lineman for Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Dallas from 1982-93. "Theres a science to tackling and maintaining proper technique. You can only get better at it by practicing and now they dont even practice it." Many coaches yell at players if they hit teammates too hard and nobody wants to see scuffles anymore. Its a far cry from the days of Buddy Ryan and his rugged defence in Philadelphia. "Buddy used to encourage guys he knew wouldnt make the team to start fights," Cobb said. Now, its all about wrapping up instead of tackling and hugging instead of hitting. "It is what it is," Tennessee defensive co-ordinator Jerry Gray said. ' ' '
