Michael Vick has added nine pounds of muscle so far this offseason.

Vick is very aware that his inability to stay on the field has crippled the Eagles of late. He's missed 11 games due to injury over the last three seasons and was limited in a fistful of others. New coach Chip Kelly has a new training regimen, and Vick's upper body is visibly bigger. The last time he played in all 16 games was 2006 -- the year before his prison stint.

Michael Vick insists the Eagles are "still my team," and that the starting quarterback position is "still my job."

Vick is going to have to earn those titles, but he obviously has an early leg or two up on his current "competition." Nick Foles doesn't have the skill-set to run coach Chip Kelly's uptempo offense, and the only thing that could make Vick nervous is if the Eagles pick Geno Smith or E.J. Manuel in the draft.

Asked by ESPN's Sal Paolantonio to describe new Eagles coach Chip Kelly's offense, Michael Vick called it "refreshing," "very innovative," and unlike any offense he's played in before.

Vick has completed two practices in the fast-paced scheme. "It's great, it's awesome," he said. "It's nothing (like) I've ever seen before as an offense. It's very refreshing, it's very innovative. And we do a lot of things that just put the ball into guys' hands and allow them to go out and make plays and play free. ... It's been an awesome two days and we've gotta continue to work hard."

Michael Vick and Nick Foles split first-team reps on the first day of Eagles' voluntary workouts Tuesday.

Let the "competition" begin. Coach Chip Kelly insists his two QBs are on an "even" playing field. "There wasn't one set guy that just went with the ones the entire day," Kelly said. Kelly comes from the "competition at every position" school of coaching, but everything from Vick's salary to his skill-set suggests he's the heavy favorite to be under center in Week 1.

Coach Chip Kelly reiterated that he believes Michael Vick has the right skill set for his offense.

Kelly has also spoken glowingly of Nick Foles in recent weeks, so we'd take these quotes with a grain of salt. Still, Vick is clearly penciled in as the starter as we head into the offseason program. Foles or a rookie would have to beat him out. "When you sit down and analyze what his skill set is and what he can still do, he can still throw the football, still accurate with his throws, he's extremely tough," Kelly said. "There was no question in my mind that I wanted Michael to be back on this team."
