PHILADELPHIA - This Eagles defence wont be pushed around. Brett Favre Youth Jersey . For the second straight day at Philadelphias training camp, a fight broke out between an offensive and defensive player. Cornerback Bradley Fletcher took on wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on Monday. Linebacker Trent Cole got into it with All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy a day earlier. "Were just playing ball," Fletcher said. "Emotions got going and one thing led to another. Its football. Things happen. Were all working to get better. We just go on to the next day." Maclin walked off the field and declined to speak to reporters. He looked angry about the fight. Cornerback Cary Williams was glad to see it. "Youre not supposed to be friends at camp, although you look out for your brother," Williams said. "Youre fighting for jobs, fighting for opportunities." Williams and his defensive mates have a chip on their shoulder. The defence ranked 29th in the NFL last year during Philadelphias worst-to-first season and was the main reason the Eagles lost to New Orleans in a wild-card playoff game. While Chip Kellys offence received all the accolades, the defence was viewed as a weakness. But they werent as bad as the numbers and they improved significantly after a poor first month. "We have a great team, a great chance here," Williams said. "Were going to be aggressive, fly around and its going to be a different defence that you see out there. We cant talk about it; we have to be about it." So, theyre setting the tone early in camp. Things got heated Sunday when Cole and McCoy went at it. The veterans are friends and both downplayed the incident. "Their emotions got the better part of them," Kelly said. "Those things happen. Its no different than sometimes little kids dont get along very well and throw Tonka trucks at each other. Its not a real big deal." Fletcher and Maclin exchanged punches following a pass play down the right sideline. Throwing fists with helmets on isnt the smartest idea, but neither player was injured. "Youre not swinging to hurt the guy," Williams said. "They have helmets on. You have to protect him and protect yourself. Its common sense. Its almost a faking situation. You break your hand in a fight, youre a complete idiot. Thats great we have physicality on both sides of the ball. As soon as we get off the field, were buddy-buddy. Were family. You cant take that into the locker room." The team wore pads for the first time Monday in an open practice at Lincoln Financial Field in front of approximately 15,000 fans. "Its all in fun. It happens," McCoy said about the fight. NOTES: The biggest surprise for Kelly since his transition from Oregon to the NFL is the "hype" surrounding the draft. "The fact that people would watch the Combine; theres times at the Combine where I fall asleep," Kelly said. "So I dont know why people watch it on television. They are running 40-yard dashes." Paul Krause Jersey . On the day after Billy Horschel posted his 12th straight round in the 60s, won his second straight tournament against a world-class field and picked up an additional $10 million bonus as the FedEx Cup champion, Watson was kicking back in his seat at a Kansas City Royals game. Randy Moss Womens Jersey . After a tight first half, the Croatians took command in Reykjavik after Skulason was dismissed for a professional foul in the 51st minute, but couldnt find a way past Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson and his packed defence. Eduardo had a weak shot cleared away from near the goalline after barely a minute for Croatia, whose substitute Ivica Olic forced a fine reaction save from Halldorsson in the 55th. http://www.authenticvikingspro.com/John-randle-vikings-jersey/ . According to the CFL Scouting Bureaus January rankings, four of the top five Canadian prospects line-up on the offensive side of the trenches, which is good news for Bombers general manager Kyle Walters. With only one selection in the first two rounds — Walters sent his second-round pick to Saskatchewan in the days ahead of the 2013 trade deadline — the No.SURREY, B.C. - B.C. Lions coach Mike Benevides had plenty to smile about Monday after his team returned from a big win in Toronto. But some of his players wont share his mood next weekend. Even after strong performances against the Argonauts, some Lions are in danger of losing their starting or roster spots when B.C. (5-3) hosts the Saskatchewan Roughriders at home on Sunday. Kick returner/running back Tim Brown appears to be a likely casualty after he racked up 168 return yards as the Lions posted their third straight win. With starting tailback Andrew Harris expected to return from an ankle injury, Benevides said Brown only has a "50-50" chance of staying in the lineup due to the balancing act required under the CFLs Canadian and import player ratio. "Id love to keep him on, but its a challenge from a roster-number point of view," said Benevides. Brown, a 26-year-old Stockton, Calif., native who is in his fourth CFL season, returned one punt for 70 yards and another for 69, setting up a touchdown and a field goal, against the Argos. He played only his second game of the season after spending most of the campaign on the practice roster. Benevides said he has struggled to keep Brown on the active roster, but its too difficult to sacrifice an import elsewhere on offence or defence to keep him in the mix. The coach says he hopes Harris, sidelined in a victory over Hamilton on Aug. 8, will return after showing signs of progress in his recovery early last week before taking time off to mend. "With running backs, you never want to risk (a premature return), because (the ankle) is so important to what they do," said Benevides. Veteran running back Stefan Logan, who rushed for 145 yards on 19 carries and gained another 49 on receptions against Toronto, will also be affected by the return of Harris. Logan appears headed back to a back-up role behind Harris, who leads the league in combined yards with 781 and ranks second in rushing (410). Changes also loom on the B.C. defence as cornerback Dante Marsh gets ready to return to the starting lineup after missing the game in Toronto due to a hamstring injury. "Its pretty good," said Marsh. "I feel like I should be able to play this week." Marsh, a 33-year-old Oakland, Calif., native who is in his 11th season with the Lions, missed his first game in four years. The one-time CFL all-star and four-time West Division all-star said he wanted to be smart and give his body a chance to rest. Rookie Ronnie Yell returned an interception for a touchdown in Maarshs place in the short-side cornerback spot. Mike Hughes Jersey. If Marsh returns, Yell is likely to move back to his wide-side cornerback spot. Rookie T.J. Lee, who played his first CFL game in Yells usual wide-side spot, faces a return to the practice roster. Marsh said the play of the rookies against Toronto speak well of B.C.s roster depth, but their development is more about the future than the present. "Right now, thats my time," said Marsh. According to Benevides, this is also the time for Kevin Glenn to remain the starting quarterback. Although nominal No. 1 Travis Lulay, recuperating from off-season shoulder surgery, saw his first game action at various times against the Argos, Glenn will start against Saskatchewan — provided that he is healthy. Glenn, who played against Toronto despite a thigh contusion suffered a week earlier, was limping as the team returned to its Surrey practice facility. "Hes winning games for us right now, and hes the one thats healthy, so hes the one thats played the most," said Benevides. "Its unfair to put all that play time on (Lulay) right now." Benevides slotted Lulay in during the first quarter, second quarter and at the end of the game in Toronto as part of his recovery process and plans to do the same against Saskatchewan. "I dont care what peoples ideas or ideals are — we have to get him in," said Benevides. However, Benevides will feel less urgency about getting other injured players back in the lineup if he feels that a return could hamper their long-term recovery hopes. "With the bye coming a week after, Im not going to push it," he said. Notes — The Lions cancelled a rundown Monday and will have a day off Tuesday before returning to practice on Wednesday. ... Defensive back Josh Johnson remains out with a knee injury. … Import offensive tackle Andre Ramsey, who suffered an ankle injury in the first game of the season that caused considerable lineup juggling, is eligible to return from the six-game injured list, but he is also caught in the ratio crunch. Ramsey has actually over-stayed his time on the six-game injured list, but he is allowed to do so under league rules. … Offensive lineman Jovan Oliafoye said he and line mate Hunter Steward, who both stand six-foot-six and weigh more than 300 pounds, had to "slide through" a relatively narrow opening after they were stuck in a Toronto hotel elevator on game day. "It wasnt the best of room, but there was enough room," said Oliafoye. ' ' '
