Cowboys Extra: With control in Philly, Kelly pushes chips all in
By Drew Davison
It hasn’t taken long for Chip Kelly to become a polarizing person in the NFL. Just about every person who follows the sport has an opinion on whether Kelly deserves the label “genius” or not.
Most expect that debate to be settled this season by the third-year Eagles coach after he took control of the personnel department this off-season, and made a flurry of moves.
Kelly opted to deal for quarterback Sam Bradford, the first overall pick of the Rams in 2010 who hadn’t played since October 2013 because of two ACL tears in his left knee. Then he traded workhorse running back LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso, who missed all of 2014 with a knee injury. Then, in a bizarre flurry, Kelly signed former Chargers lead back Ryan Mathews and money-whipped free agent back DeMarco Murray from the rival Cowboys.
Time will tell how those moves pan out, but questions are already being raised after Monday’s 26-24 season-opening loss at Atlanta...
