Weems was in Dallas last year wasn't he? I wonder why his info didn't help the defense stop the Philly defense last year?

Could it be the Cowboys getting good players on defense and Philly sending good players from offense out the door?

Nah... the Cowboys cheated.

Inquiring minds want to know lol

Yep, it can't be the defense and marinelli and Sean Lee can it ?

I mean he could have helped but there are plenty of Oregon players in the league and game film from both Philly and Oregon. If Chip hasn't changed things up, then he's more arrogant than we thought.

This.

If this is true..

It obviously helped our preparation..

especially with them saying we knew the plays.

While it's true others around the league may have Oregon players on their teams and probably have looked at what they know..

I'm delighted we could take advantage.

It should scream to how poor a coach he actually is if his college players can tell you what he is doing at the pro level 3 threes later.

Now, again. Someone please explain to me how Chip Kelly was a golden boy in the NFL when he had never actually coached at the NFL level?

They shut down the Giants in much the same way. Was somebody from the practice squad also at Boston College in the early 90s with Coughlin?

His basic gimmick offense only worked in college because he coached a team with superior athletes. In the NFL talent evens out for the most part.

It's laughable people thought this guy would dominate the NFL.

Agree. D Coordinators have had more film, and actual game experience to draw from. Also their Special Teams are not scoring for them so far . Last year they were routinely getting 7 from some type of ST play

Oh good grief. You got your butt handed to you. All this with the "they must have cheated" crap is ridiculous. As was previously pointed out, Weems didnt just now arrive here.

What he's missing on is player evaluation. His decisions on the OL seem a huge issue.

Like most systems, it doesn't work if the players can't execute. Chip's is unique in that if the O fails, the D tends to get worn down quickly. That's the case with most team but when the O leaves the field in 90 seconds of real time, you just get no rest for the D

What was his reason for dumping the starting Guards?

There are players on all 32 teams who played where NFL coaches and coordinators have been in the past. Surprising that any NFL team has ever rushed for more than 7 yards in a game, eh?

I think he's got a college mentality that you can just replace guys easily.

Or maybe he wanted to show that he was willing to kick quality white players to the curb too.

The fact that the Eagles claimed we knew about their plays in advance is probably the biggest compliment they could (or ever will) have given us. We knew what they'd do for so many more reasons that just that. Kindly allow me to submit none other than Sean Lee for undeniable evidence. Thank you for your support . . .
