If you read about Bill Walsh today, you're bound to come across a sentence that describes him as the brains behind the West Coast offense. Walsh, the former San Francisco 49ers coach and general manager who died yesterday at 75, was much more than that, according to Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg. "He really was an innovator both on the field and off with the way he handled personnel and the way he practiced," Mornhinweg said yesterday at the Eagles' Lehigh University training camp.

Looks as if an Eagles coach could be going to Cleveland, but not the one initially rumored to be headed there. NFL.com reported last night that the Browns are expected to look at Dick Jauron as a candidate to be defensive coordinator under new coach Pat Shurmur, a former Eagles assistant who most recently ran the Rams' offense. Jauron, who coached the Birds' defensive backs this season, was on Browns president Mike Holmgren's Green Bay staff in the 1990s before becoming a head coach in Chicago and Buffalo.

The phone calls and text messages have been pouring in to Skyler Mornhinweg as news of Joe Paterno's ouster broke yesterday. Mornhinweg, the St. Joseph's Prep quarterback, is among the 16 high school seniors who have given verbal commitments to Penn State. Players cannot sign binding letters of intent until February. Through his mother, Lindsay, Skyler had no comment on the current situation. His father, Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, said he would have no comment on his son's situation or rumors that he could succeed Paterno out of respect for the victims in the sex-abuse case against Jerry Sandusky.

Ty Detmer, who began last season as the Eagles' starting quarterback, is close to signing with the San Francisco 49ers. A person close to Detmer said the quarterback was leaning toward the 49ers after also visiting Atlanta, Chicago and Cincinnati. In San Francisco, Detmer would serve as a backup to 37-year-old Steve Young and a tutor for Jim Druckenmiller, last year's first-round draft pick. Detmer, 30, would be reunited with Niners head coach Steve Mariucci and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, who coached the quarterbacks in Green Bay while Detmer was with the Packers.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - It finally happened. A pass hit Jason Avant's fingers, and then the grass at Lehigh. Let the record show it happened Sunday morning, during an 11-on-11 drill, on a short throw over the middle from Kevin Kolb. By the coaches' count, it was Avant's first drop of Eagles training camp. Until then, he had kept the pigskin pristine. By offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg's count early last week, Avant had caught 80 passes in competitive drills (seven-on-seven or full team)

As a freshman and sophomore, Skyler Mornhinweg remembers listening to upperclassmen telling him how lucky he was to have a few years left of high school football.
