Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cary Williams reportedly called into question coach Chip Kelly's weekly workouts on Sunday, blaming them for the team's slow start in games.

Shortly after the Eagles won and improved to 3-0, Williams brought into question Kelly's system.

"A lot of guys had no legs. A lot of guys are in a dogfight before the game even started," Williams said, according to multiple reports. "We've got to start taking care of our guys throughout the week in order for us to be more productive and have more energy on Sunday."

Williams, who turns 30 later this year, said that the team needed a "change in order for us to be more productive."

Williams, who was signed as a free agent before last season, went on to say that he wasn't the only one who shared that view, but was the one who would speak up on the issue, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

"Obviously, the coaches have their philosophies, and it is what it is, man. I'm Employee 26," Williams said, according to the site. "I know what gets me ready, and like I said, I'm not the only one. I'm just man enough to let you know . . . that we're not a fresh team. We're not the freshest team out there. And hopefully, preferably, things will change.

"We do a lot of reps, man . . . and it's exhausting. It's taxing on your body, especially when you're 30 years old now, and you expect to be playing at a high level. So, it's difficult. You've got to find that energy. I don't know where we're going to find it. We've been able to muscle through, fight through that as a team, but there's some modifications that need to be done and made."

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Kelly has said that he will meet with Williams on Tuesday concerning the comments.
