I mean I know they been pretty shook since Draft Day when Jeff Ireland crapped his khakis trading up for a skinny project Duck pass-rusher Kelly was never gonna take & by doing so gift-wrapped us our left tackle for the coming decade.

But this shit right here? Preliminary strikes against a dude who never coached NFL football a day his life?!?

NFL referees might put the brakes on Chip Kelly's high-octane offense with the Philadelphia Eagles this season.

Whether Kelly's fast-paced attack would work as well at the professional level as it did in college was one of the most intriguing questions heading into this season. However, NFL rules likely will force Kelly to make adjustments.


"We have to make sure teams understand that they don't control the tempo, our officials do," NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino told The Wall Street Journal. "We're going through our normal ball mechanics, we aren't going to rush it's in the two minute drill."

Under Kelly, Oregon ran 1,077 plays in just 13 games last season (82.8 per game), according to ESPN Stats & Information. Amazingly, that would have ranked seventh (just two total plays behind the Eagles' 1,079) in the NFL's 16-game schedule last season. The New England Patriots led the NFL with 1,191 plays last season (74.4 per game).

Kelly wants to run a play every 12 seconds, so he gets the Eagles ready for it in practice, even having assistants calling in plays via elaborate hand signals from the sidelines. The Eagles run a ton of plays, move around quickly and don't spend much time waiting, doing nothing.

Blandino told the newspaper that he has told each team's coaching staff, however, that teams will not be able to snap the ball until a referee gives the signal. He said the NFL's competition committee made it a point to "re-emphasize" that NFL rules differ from college after several NFL teams used up-tempo attacks last season.

Blandino told the newspaper that when he met with Kelly, the coach didn't display any "overconcern" when told about the differences between NFL and college rules.

NFL rules also state that a defense must be allowed to make substitutions if the offense substitutes its own players, no matter how quickly the offense makes its changes. Blandino told The Journal that the referee will stand over the ball to ensure that it is not snapped before the defense is set.

The L stopped caring about the quality of the game a looooooong time ago.

no one is there to watch the refs control the pace of the game

the refs union prob scared as hell about this.

>the refs union prob scared as hell about this.

Actually it's nothing new, Mike Martz was doing similar stuff 14 years ago

.

he'd probably be an Eagle right now had we not passed on Lane Johnson

"Trust me, the guy who went No. 3, we considered him heavily," Kelly told reporters Saturday, referring to defensive end/linebacker Dion Jordan, whom the Miami Dolphins traded up to draft right ahead of the Eagles. "We didn't get a chance to pull the trigger on that one."

damn looking back on that deal we trade-raped the shit outta Oakland, only giving up a 2nd to move up from 12 to 3...going off the traditional draft value chart we robbed them of over 500 pts in that deal.

like he's not going to say he'd take the guy who played for him when there's no chance of actually being in position to take him.

He sold that bullshit beautifully before & after the draft while getting the guy he wanted all along.

a single in game series run
if this ain't scared i don't know what is
as far as this slowing kelly down....doubt it
defense can have time to set, but they won't have time to read and diagnose
if kelly can script out the 1st few series as well as reid use to this could be scary

of subbing on offense before you can sub on defense.

his intention is to use multiple formations with the same personnel to put the defense in a heads i win / tails you lose situation.

when they asked him (after drafting ertz, the TE, after already having celek and having signed james casey in FA) what he was going to do with three TEs he said.. simple.

i go like this (held up 3 fingers), and three TEs go in.

if you go base personnel, i'm airing it out, and your LBs cannot cover. if you go nickel, i'm running down your throat. take your choice.

even if he hits the same tempo as the pats, who were employing some of his concepts, that's much faster than the nfl is used to playing. if he combines one of the best cut back runners in the game, with a "the hole is where you find it" running attack, designed to create and exploit running lanes, and THEN add a mobile QB behind it, AND THEN throw bubble screens to take advantage of off coverage and go deep when you come up to play force or cover the screens... combine that w/ the no huddle, teams better have their pickle juice ready.


peace & blessings,

Gonna be a big tight-end year.

if they get any assemblance of a defense

Iggles could do some things

I never understood why AR didn't go to more no huddle with this group

It's obvious speed is our advantage

and Chip's system looks like it is best suited to use that advantage in our favor

I'll wait to form an opinion on the defense

Brady gon' do work, not that big a deal

but letting ol' boy run wild on a delayed handoff, first play of the game

yeah, could be a lot of shootouts, high scores, etc...

Iggles might need to mix in a traditional offense just to give the D some time to regroup

I hope Chip's philosophy isn't to lay down on D so his O can stay on the field

http://www.phillymag.com/eagles/2013/08/16/no-22-eagles-introduce-4-te-package/

After the Eagles drafted Zach Ertz with their second-round pick back in April, Chip Kelly was asked if he could play three tight ends on the field at once.

“Yeah. You go like that,” he said, holding three fingers in the air. “And three tight ends go in the game. We are going to go three tight ends in a game. Now, if they go three linebackers, we spread them out and if they go DBs, we smash you. So, pick your poison.”

The joke at the time was on the reporters. No one thought to ask Kelly if he had planned to go with four tight end looks.

But that’s what we saw in Thursday night’s preseason game against the Panthers.

Technically, Clay Harbor is now practicing with the wide receivers, but at 6-3, 255, he has the body type of a tight end.

The Eagles first showed the 4-TE package on their second drive of the first quarter. The look is one you should probably get used to. We saw it several times last week vs. New England, and the Eagles scored a pair of touchdowns off of it (full breakdown here).

Panthers1afinal

You can see it’s a double-stack look. Ertz and James Casey to the top of the screen; Harbor and Brent Celek at the bottom.

The decision-making process for the quarterback here is simple. He has the option to hand the ball off or throw a screen to either side, depending on the numbers. In the box, Nick Foles is looking for a 5-on-5 matchup to run the ball. And that’s exactly what he gets.

Panthers_1b

Panthers1c

On the perimeter, you can see the tight ends set up for the screen. But with two safeties deep, the Eagles were facing 3-on-2 matchups out there. So Foles made the right call handing it off, and LeSean McCoy picked up the first down.

Even though the ball didn’t go to the perimeter, you can see the Eagles could potentially get a nice mismatch with a tight end blocking a cornerback.

“This offense, it’s new to us, but it’s tough to stop,” Harbor said in the locker room afterwards. “And we’ve all really, really just bought in and know that on any given play, there’s gonna be a mismatch somewhere. We’re gonna out-number the defense somewhere. So any given play, we twist it and make it our own. If they leave two defenders on the two receivers on some play, we’re gonna throw the ball out there. …If they put three defenders on two, then we’re gonna run the ball.”

On the very next play, the Eagles kept the same personnel on the field and pushed tempo. About 25 seconds elapsed from the time McCoy went down to the time they snapped the ball on the next play. The Panthers were unable to change personnel, meaning they were still in nickel (five defensive backs).

Panthers2a

The Eagles had Ertz and Harbor split out to the right, while Celek and Casey set up next to left tackle Allen Barbre.

Panthers2d

With the read-option, they leave the left defensive end unblocked. And the red box shows a 4-on-4 matchup. In reality, this is 5-on-4 in the Eagles’ favor because Todd Herremans is pulling to that side.

Panthers2b

You can see that even with Foles in the game, the left defensive end stays at home in case he keeps the ball and runs.

Panthers2c

Again, here you see the middle linebacker and the left defensive end (yellow arrows) guarding against the possibility of a Foles run. The Eagles do a great job on the left side of the line, and Jason Kelce seals his man off, creating a nice running lane up the middle.

But Eagles offensive linemen will tell you they’re never sure where McCoy’s going to take the football, and they don’t particularly care since he’s so talented. Here, he bounces it outside, gets a nice block from Herremans and then just lets his natural ability take over for a 21-yard gain.

“If they want to put some extra linebackers on the field, then we can spread ‘em out and pass,” Ertz said. “If they want to go nickel or dime, whatever personnel they want to be, if they put more corners on the field, then we’ll have that ability to run the ball. So at the end of the day, I think it’s just kind of like a chess match.”

The Eagles showed the 4-TE look with Mike Vick in the game also. Here, you see Emil Igwenagu joining Harbor, Casey and Ertz.

Panthers3a

Again, we see that Vick has multiple options. He can hand the ball off to Polk, but instead he pulls it and drops back. Vick then does a great job of manipulating middle linebacker Luke Kuechly by looking at Casey. Kuechly comes up, creating space for Igwenagu behind him.

Panthers3b

Vick delivered a laser, and Igwenagu made a nice catch for a 15-yard gain.

***

Kelly has made it clear from the get-go that he loves tight ends. His first offensive free-agent acquisition was Casey, and then there was the Ertz pick. Their versatility and the tempo allow the Eagles to create mismatches without subbing.

“The defense doesn’t know what to do,” Harbor explained. “If they’re gonna put all linebackers out there, they don’t know if we’re gonna go in tight and pound the ball or if we’re gonna spread out wide and throw the ball. If they bring in linebackers to guard us, we can all run like receivers. If they bring in defensive backs, we’re gonna get in tight, or we can still stay out wide and pound the ball. It’s really a chess match between the coaches there. And anything they do, we win.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVxk9PW62Vk

Due to various combinations of injury and attrition, it never quite came together. The best chance he had was a couple of years ago when we had Colt Lyerla for his first year, with David Paulsen and JC could-have-been-a-beast Brandon Williams already on the roster. Williams got injured, and we could barely run a two-TE set due to the lack of experience at the position.

It's been obvious following recruiting that Chip wanted to be able to put 3-4 TE type bodies on the field that could both block and run/catch - which would effectively let him call anything he wanted at any point without having to worry about personnel.

if hernandez weren't the dumbest murderer/a murderer at all and gronk were healthy, belichick be so happy running amendola/gronk/hernandez/ballard/sudfield every damn play. or not even amendola, maybe ridley instead.

gonna be interesting. it makes sense, gives you flexibility in personnel and huge advantages over CBs/S trying to cover. especially if you have some TEs who can run.

"I ORBITs the solar system, listenin..."

(C)Keith Murray, "

that shit was 33-7 (should have been 40-0 if they don't bungle that call) in the mid-third before they showed a pulse.

One thing this offense (and Chip at Oregon) had a weakness in is milking clock when they're up 21-24 points with a quarter & a 1/2 left to play.

That's a problem I'm okay with having.

I'll wait to talk about who 'did more' until Chip actually coaches the team a couple seasons & gets his squad in here.

I wish Andy the best, predicted the Chiefs would win 10 this season.

As long as one of those ain't next Thursday, good luck to him.

But goddamn, I couldn't be happier about getting a new look/voice/mind in here for the first time in 15 years.

Especially one that's got folks mad & the league making rules.

>that shit was 33-7 (should have been 40-0 if they don't
>bungle that call) in the mid-third before they showed a
>pulse.

It wasn't, though. You got shut down the second half.

Andy's team was more impressive than the Eagles, with
less talent. Sorry, guy.

Y'all won because RG3 was nervous to put pressure on his
leg for three quarters. He started playing, y'all started
getting scared.

You can talk about that Chiefs-Jags game like u saw it all you want, I don't play fantasy football & didn't bet the game so by design I didn't watch a second of it.

We'll seen that team in 9-10 more days anyway.

but still fuck the Eagles yo..

hi-level comedy right there

all around tight work

one thing that did remind/drive home though was how much easier these slow-tempo 65 BPM, repeated phrase at the end of each bar type of trap-rap cuts are to navigate than the old shit.

If Rocko tried to rock the second verse of 'Follow The Leader' that combined with whatever drugs he's on might have his eyes rolling in the back of his head before it's done.
