Chip Kelly ?

[thebestever6]

I'm a Bronco fan but I follow the Eagles because I like sports talk radio and they are the local team. Last night Paul Jolly agreed with the caller when he said that Chip Kelly will revolutionize the game. I know it's the honey moon phase because Chip is a great speaker and has made solid moves and he's not Andy but I'm sorry that's where I draw the line. At best I think Kelly can do what they do up in New England. You have great offensive minds between qbs and coaches in New England, Green bay, New Orleans, Denver (Manning is a qb/ coach). Washington, San Fran. I put San Fran on the list because their read option and blocking schemes are pretty fantastic. To say that Chip is going to revolutionize the game is a little over board. Also, I agree Chip is great with the media right now but they haven't played a game yet. It's easier to deal with the media when you haven't lost a game or called a bad game.

It doesn't have to be just X's and O's on the field.


Our players have to sleep 10 hours a night, and they have specially designed smoothies for them. We are also not going to practice like any other team in the nfl.


We will be different, but to truly revolutionize how things work we will need to be successful

so... you're making a new topic on the board to express your feelings about something you heard on a Philadelphia sports radio station (which many Philadelphians would agree that they suck) about a caller's opinion about Chip Kelly...

You do realize that there are Eagles fans that criticize Chip Kelly and aren't so fond of him...

Was this really necessary?

Paul also said he thinks the Barkley pick will go down as the best in the franchise history but than said he doesn't know if Barkley will be a franchise Qb. This also makes zero sense in order for the pick to be the best in team history Barkley has to be a franchise qb.

So far I love Chip

Love how he pimp slaps the media in a fun way, love that he tells it as it is, and that he explains his line of thinking.

But obviously it doesn't mean much until we get a season maybe two under our belts.

I agree with Ninja that the sports science aspect is the thing that is most likely going to be copied if we do well. Sure old time coaches won't bother with it perhaps but I think you'll see some coaches or strength staff use it if it seems to help with our success.

In terms or revolutionizing the game on the field, well that's very difficult. Alot of what is considered new and revolutionary is just repurposed old concepts....like Chip said when he first got hired....unless you are the guys who sat down and made up the game around a century ago..you are stealing from somebody.

Now it'll be interesting how Chip adapts to the personnel, especially if say an important piece goes down, if he can adjust and change the whole offense on the fly like he did at New Hampshire in a week....that might be revolutionary but it'll be damn impressive.

I have high hopes for Chip, I think the fact that he asks "Why?" At everything will help him succeed where so many have failed. We have a pretty good base of talent, with a lot of potential that hasn't been unlocked......if Chip can tap that this first year he should have a successful career.

I'm interested in what the NFLPA has to say about the things Kelly is doing.
The sports science thing is fine and was bound to happen. It's the natural evolution of sports in general.
When he starts telling grown men what to eat and drink, what time to be in bed and provides someone to pay their bills for them I think the Union is going to have some kind of problem with that.
It should be interesting.
