PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick or Nick Foles? Might as well flip a coin. Vick will start for the Philadelphia Eagles in their preseason opener against New England on Friday night only because its his turn to go first in the quarterback rotation. Foles also will take snaps with the starters, and the second-year pro will start the second preseason game. "It was Mikes day in the rotation, that was the easiest way for us to do it and then well make sure the rotation works out that Nick will get the start next week," coach Chip Kelly said Thursday. "The two of those guys, we feel like weve got it balanced out. We met with those guys this morning. They were great with it, so thats kind of our plan going in." Both Vick and Foles are expected to get between 12 and 20 snaps vs. the Patriots. The two QBs have been competing for the No. 1 job since Kellys arrival in Philadelphia. "It doesnt mean anything," Vick said about the start. "The only thing I want to do is go out there and have fun, play the game, play with a purpose, enjoy every snap, try to make the most out of it as long as Im out there and just try to be consistent like I have throughout camp and have fun playing the game." Rookie Matt Barkley will come in after Vick and Foles in the second quarter and play through the third. Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne will play the fourth. The Eagles and Patriots concluded three days of join practices before facing each other on the field at Lincoln Financial Field. "Ive said it all along, its very difficult to evaluate somebody in just helmets and shorts," Kelly said. "Thats not how the game is played, so obviously I think our practices from an intensity level, were ramping up a little here just because the Patriots are here. "On both sides I thought it was great work for us. For guys that are competing right now, the preseason has to be the same way. If thats not your approach as a player, youre going to get passed on by." While Kelly uses the preseason games to evaluate who will be his starting quarterback, the Patriots are in an enviable position. They have two-time NFL and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady. Third-year pro Ryan Mallet is the backup followed by Tim Tebow. Patriots coach Bill Belichick hasnt told Tebow if hell play against the Eagles, though its likely he will take some snaps. "Im getting better every single day, more comfortable with the offence and better timing with everybody around me, better understanding of what the coaches want me to do," Tebow said. Mallet certainly will see plenty of action. "I cant wait," Mallett said. "I feel like Ive improved a lot overall. I feel confident and ready to go." Itll be the first chance for rookie wide receiver Aaron Dobson to catch passes from Brady. The Patriots have a new group for Brady after their top five receiving leaders from last season are no longer with the team or injured. "Definitely jitters a little bit, just because its something new," Dobson said. "Im ready for it. Im excited to play." Running back LeGarrette Blount also will make his Patriots debut. Blount, who ran for 1,007 yards as a rookie for Tampa Bay in 2010, is coming off a disappointing season and was traded to New England for a seventh-round draft pick. Hell be playing against his former coach at Oregon in Kelly. "Hes a real good coach and a real good guy," Blount said. "I loved his offence at Oregon and if its going to be anything like that, theyll be pretty productive." All eyes will be on Kellys offence to see how up-tempo style translates in the NFL. Kelly had tremendous success at Oregon, and everyone has been wondering since he replaced Andy Reid how hell do in the NFL. Though Kelly wont show too much in the preseason, itll be a small sampling at least. "Its going to be a lot of fun," Kelly said. "I think the way our camp worked out for itself, our players came in with great attitudes and that part was exciting. Then you get an opportunity to now bring a new team in. I think that kind of changed how we were doing things. Now were getting into the preseason portion of it. We dont talk about its just the preseason. Its on the line every time you go on the field. "So were all excited about our opportunity to play tomorrow night."
