But what a collision of the Eagles' past, present and future it will be. Reid coaching against Chip Kelly, Philadelphia's newest crush, with Michael Vick, McNabb and no doubt many other former Eagles in attendance as well. Like a good trade that has worked out for both clubs, the rejuvenated Reid has his retooled Chiefs sitting 2-0 and in position to seize the Turnaround Team of the Year label in the NFL, while the Eagles with Kelly's fast-break offense have been the talk of the league so far in September, with an intriguing and totally new approach to the game compared to the one that grew stale under Reid's leadership.
