Above: The Philadelphia Eagles blocking sled practices with the first team after getting the call to start versus the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The National Football League will allow the Eagles to use a three-person blocking sled after losing three starting offensive linemen in the first three weeks of the season. Head coach Chip Kelly says he expects the sled to have no problems keeping up with his high-tempo offense. "We feel very comfortable and confident that the sled will seamlessly fit into our scheme. The sled has never missed a practice. I know the guys have had the sled over for barbecues and out at the bars," said Kelly. These same players will also have to position the sled at the line of scrimmage before the start of each play during the game.
