Rookie quarterback Mike Kafka took all the snaps at Thursday’s practice. No, Kevin Kolb isn’t hurt. It’s a long training camp and coach Andy Reid just wanted to rest his starter’s arm.
After two days with only selected veterans and rookies, the rest of the Eagles finally reported to camp. The first full-squad practice is today at Lehigh.
But even with Kolb relegated to clipboard duty, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg revealed that he had set some early goals for his quarterback.
“I’ve told him that I want a high completion percentage and I want him to stay away from the interceptions and then everything else will tend to take care of itself, and understanding that he needs to do the right thing,” Mornhinweg said.
Mornhinweg said Kolb has been “outstanding” in the first few days of camp. He also praised the quarterback’s skill set.
“The best qualities that Kevin has — there’s many of them — but some of the better ones are his quick decision making, and his accuracy, and his timing,” he said.
