NFL Total Access is doing a 32 in 32 series, previewing one team a day. They just covered the Eagles.
The link has an article about expectations for the upcoming season. Point #4 should make you happy to read:
“4. There aren’t a lot of teams deeper on offense than Philadelphia. LeSean McCoy, Bryce Brown, andFelix Jones is a terrific three-pack at running back. The offensive line is as talented as any group in the league. James Casey is essentially the team’s third tight end. Wide receiver has plenty of depth too.
Kelly should be able to send waves of players at opposing defenses, along with his new playbook.”
There is also a short, unrelated video. In that, Willie McGinest and Solomon Wilcotts discuss the QB situation. Both of them think Michael Vick will get the job due to his mobility. It really is amazing how NFL people think Chip Kelly is obsessed by QB mobility.
If Chip Kelly can be half the offensive genius he seems, the Eagles will score a whole.lottta points this year. If the defense can get turnovers and play good red zone defense, it really could be a special year.
I feel like even ex-NFL guys sometimes just rehash the sort of consensus opinion, regardless of how much actual analysis is involved with it. It’s lazy punditry, but I feel like actual insight is really really rare in mainstream media for any sport.
