Anyone have the feeling that Kelly might do a Sabin and pack up his marbles and go back to the College ranks?

Glad to see him gone; he was still fairly young and would be a threat for several more years. Seems to me that Kelly is getting rid of anyone that challenges him in any way.

I hope he does overpay for all kinds of defensive talent. Guess what Mr. Chip, it's the NFL, AND ONCE MOST PLAYERS CASH IN, THEY PLAY WORSE THAN THEY DID BEFORE. You don't build a team through FA, it's been proven time and time again.

I can't wait until this arrogant, Mr. All Power and Control FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, keep signing and drafting Oregon players. You will be the laughing stock of the NFL.

Lets see...no QB....No RB now...Maclin will probably leave and leave them with no WR....

Everyone is worried about them going all in on their Defense but here is the thing I'd wonder about.

Kelly loves that up tempo, gas pedal to the floor, offense that doesn't allow his defense any rest.

Now they're going to likely get even less rest because he's going to have zilch on offense to work with.

So, yeah, for a couple of quarters his defense will look very impressive if they improve it but they're going to gas, just like they did last year, in the second half of games because they're going to spend the majority of the game on the field.

I could be wrong. It might work out great for them but put me firmly in the camp that doesn't see all this as the greatest decisions being made by Kelly or the Eagles.

Which is good as far as I'm concerned because if they gas their own defense and get beaten routinely because of it I'm all for it. :)

While I think Kelly will ultimately regret this move, he has to have a plan at RB. Sproles was a huge weapon, maybe he wants to add a CJ Spiller who should be cheaper, I don't know.

Probably so.

He won't have someone, more than likely, that will do for him what McCoy could do in that system.

Who knows. It might work out for them.

Right now I just don't see it and that's fine by me.

Ha Ha, listening to Philly sports radio. Callers are hilarious.

Guy calling in says Chip Kelly is an arrogant New Englander more interested in social engineering than having talent on the team. His proof, Andy Reid the conservative Mormon could get along with these guys but Chip cant.

The way I see it is this: Why would a guy like Revis or Suh or any other proven top level defensive player want to come play for the Eagles since they will end up playing twice as many snaps as the other teams, be constantly put in bad situations, and have 0 legs by week 12? These guys are veterans, and they won't put up with Chip's college crap.

It's the NFL Chippy. These guys are men. Not college kids who only know two words: "yes sir"

Chip will either be the greatest genius since Lombardi or run back to the NCAA with his tail between his legs in 2-3 years.

There will be no in between.
