Les Carpenter covers the NFL for Yahoo. He got his first taste of a Chip Kelly practice and came away very impressed.
Even if Chip Kelly never wins a game and the Philadelphia Eagles dump his visor and multipage practice plans into the Delaware River, he will have been good for the NFL. For in two months the Eagles’ new coach has done something hundreds of his predecessors in professional football have failed to do.
He has made practice interesting.
Carpenter isn’t just an Eagles guy. He goes to lots of different practices. Offers a good perspective on just how differently Kelly does things.
