Cary Williams ‘loves’ the fights at Eagles training camp, says his is coming
The Philadelphia Eagles have gotten off to a strange start to training camp to say the least. The past two days, two of their premier players have gotten into fist fights, and yet the team has downplayed the incidents.

On Sunday afternoon’s practice session, a fight broke out between Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy and defensive end Trent Cole.
Head coach Chip Kelly’s response? Essentially it was not a big deal.
Chip relates McCoy-Cole spat to two kids getting mad and throwing Tonka trucks at each other.

At Monday’s practice session, yet another fight broke out. This time, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin got into it with cornerback Bradley Fletcher.

Maclin did not speak to the media after practice seemingly to avoid questions about the fight, but cornerback Cary Williams did, and his thoughts on the fight may shock you.
You'll be stunned, but Cary Williams loves that there are fights at camp this year, wants more of them, assures us his is coming.

A player saying that he loves watching his teammates fight is just downright silly. To envision that you yourself will fight one of your teammates down the line? That is just downright ludicrous.
It will be interesting to see if the Eagles reprimand any of their players, or if they allow the intense play and fights to continue. At this point, it seems that the Eagles are waiting for something bad to happen before they put their foot down.
