Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick says that the team have slowed down their activities to concentrate on accuracy.

Michael Vick has said that the Philadelphia Eagles have slowed down the pace of their team activities to focus on getting things right.

Head coach Chip Kelly has been running organised team activities this off-season, having taken over from Andy Reid earlier this year.

The quarterback told WTXF-TV: "It was very difficult for us as a team at first because we just felt like we had to do everything so fast. And it took for Chip to call us into the auditorium in a team meeting to say, 'Listen, everybody relax and slow down.'

"You have to slow it down if you aren't doing it right. You can't be doing it at a fast pace and doing it wrong. Then it's time to slow down and teach.

"It's very annoying. But you know what? Right now I'm focusing on being the best person, the best quarterback on the field I can be. And that's going to take being resilient after throwing an incomplete pass, being resilient when things aren't going so well. How can you come back from it?"

The Eagles finished last in the NFC East last season.
