Chip Kelly - Head Coach, Philadelphia Eagles

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Well, if they get a guy like Smith, who has wheels, they're going to be running some form of the read option. If Smith/whoever goes out, no chance Foles can come in and run it so I don't know how they can use him as a backup. It's going to be interesting to see. If the keep Foles, I don't think they run the read option.

[ice grillin you]

according to chip theres no guarantee they run a read option offense...and as many times as he stressed the importance of keeping a qb healthy i kinda believe him

but even if they do its not difficult to change from a read option to another offense....the read option is not even an entire offfense...its a package that you add on to the base offense...if foles were forced to come in you would just drop the read option from your playbook and run your base...which im assuming will be a spread...pass routes dont change...gaps dont change...really read option is just a fancy version of play action except with the threat of the qb running

when rg3 went down the skins did exactly this...drop the read option section of their playbook and had cousins run their base one back offense

imo foles future with the eagles depends on if the eagles think he has a future and i would imagine its to early to know that yet...plus youd think they would want kelly to have a good look at him before getting rid of a 3rd round pick this soon

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Agreed. Cannot imagine Foles won't get a shot at the job in 2013.

[Sgt PSN]

I'm cool with that.  Was thinking about this the other day and I think (at best) he winds up being Joe Flacco.  Seems to be of a similar mold, although I think Flacco has the stronger arm.

Nah, they're all lesbians. They import straight women from Washington for breeding purposes.

Have you been to Washington recently?  Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of dykes here in the Portland-Metro area but Washington is Carpet Muncher country.

[BigEd76]

Looks like Chip is bringing James Harris to be the assistant GM

Right. Because all the straight women are in Oregon having babies.

I'm not sure why fans/national media/local media can't grasp this ^^^^. NE runs a similar offense with Brady. You ditch the read option portion and play to your QBs strengths. Quick reads and wrs finding space and making plays. The Eagles have 3 WRs [Jackson/Maclin/Johnson] who should thrive under Kelly. The bigger question for me is the potential switch to a 3-4. You have Kendricks who will be fine and nothing else. Ryans was pretty average aside from a couple of games and Houston ditched him when they went to the 3-4. Then you have Cox who's not a NT, do you draft Lotulelei if he falls and trade Cox? Pretty sure Jones and Joeckel are off the board by pick #4.

[BigEd76]

I haven't looked at the list of free agent NTs yet, but if they don't get Star, they can go after Kwame Geathers with a mid-round pick.  He was Grantham's backup NT behind John Jenkins.  6'5" 355 nephew of Jumpy and brother of Robert.  Cox and Jenkins are the DEs (unless they dump the latter) then Cole and Graham are the OLBs (with Curry and Hunt as the backups)

Jarvis Jones as a rush OLB.

DO IT

[SD]

Jarvis Jones as a rush OLB.

DO IT

He's not dropping to 4 and either is Joeckel.

people are going to get scared off by jones' neck issue and i think he'll be there at 4. 

if they switch to 3-4, getting a good NT may be more important than getting an outside rusher

[SD]

It's still really early but I see it going like this as of now:
Chiefs- Joeckel
Raiders/Jags - Loutelei/Jones

A lot of people like Millner at 4, I could live with that pick but I'd rather address other areas first.

[ice grillin you]

milliner is not a top ten talent...more like teens or low 20's but cb's always go above where they should...if jones isnt there and you have a good offer for the pick i trade back if im the eagles
