Eagles' Cary Williams is not a fan of Chip Kelly's practices

Although the Philadelphia Eagles are still undefeated, cornerback Cary Williams sounded off Sunday about coach Chip Kelly's practices. 

The Eagles defeated the Washington Redskins 37-34, but Williams was very unhappy with the team's lead-up to the game. 

"A lot of guys coming in here were in a dogfight before the game even started," Williams said to Tim McManus of Philly Mag

"We've got to start taking care of our guys throughout the week in order for us to be productive and have more energy on Sundays."

Williams hasn't been entirely successful over the last three seasons. Football Outsiders' Scott Kacsmar noted that the sixth-year pro was the most targeted cornerback over the past three years. 

"I think it negatively impacted a lot of people, and I'm not the only person," said Williams. "I'm just one that is man enough to stand up here and talk to y'all and address the issue that's obviously in my opinion an issue in our starts."

Philadelphia remains atop the NFC East with a 3-0 record, but Williams still had plenty to gripe about. 

"When you don't have legs, period, it shows up in games, period, throughout the game, period."

Williams will need to be at his best in Week 4, as the Eagles take on Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers.
