Chip Kelly was simply gradual-playing us all preseason.
During training camp when media members requested him about his vaunted up-tempo attack, he (typically) patiently defined that he had three speeds: sluggish, medium and hair on fire. OK, that last one was our interpretation for “really fast.” However in essence, Kelly downplayed the pace facet somewhat and nearly tried to divert the conversation when the subject came up.
What we saw Monday night apparently match into the first, and possibly the second, class. Kelly advised the media Monday that he didn’t see what all of us saw.
“I felt like it was slow, to be honest with you. I’m not joking. We have to do a greater job. We left the ball on the ground an excessive amount of. We didn’t get the ball to the officers. We could have sped things up from a course of in between performs. That’s something we need to work on.”
Positive, coach. Quick by Kelly’s standards and the NFL’s requirements clearly are two completely different animals. The Eagles’ 50 performs within the first half Monday — four within the first minute of the game — were probably the most in a first half, per the Elias Sports Bureau, because the Vikings put up fifty six back in 1998.
Can they maintain speed up this tempo? Over the course of a season? That remains to be seen, with injuries and attrition too large concerns.
But boy, it should be fun to watch them push the pedal much more. A 60-play half? Why not?
Chip Kelly thought the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense moved too slowly Monday night
