Eagles aren't getting much production from Chip Kelly's draft picks

by Jimmy Kempski

Since Chip Kelly became the Eagles' head coach, the Eagles have made 21 draft picks. Only 10 were active Week 2 against the Cowboys, and only five were starters. The Eagles are simply not getting enough production from their young players, while many other teams around the league are. Let's take a look at all 21 of them, and where they stand with the team.

Exclusive: Sean Lee breaks down the Eagles' playbook

by Jimmy Kempski

Sean Lee pointed to my monitor and said, "Turn up the volume here." So I did, as Sam Bradford barked out his cadence. "Ready, down, hut hut hut hut," Bradford called out on my computer screen, when Lee exclaimed "NOW!" at the exact moment the Eagles snapped the football. All four of the Cowboys' defensive linemen seemed to know when the snap was coming too, as they charged off the line of scrimmage, beating the blocks of the Eagles' offensive linemen for a loss of five yards.

Eagles should learn how to catch the football, a gif recap

by Jimmy Kempski

Since Chip Kelly became the head coach in Philly, the Eagles have invested heavily in pass catchers, both via the draft and signing players to lucrative contracts. In return, the Eagles are getting terrible play from their pass catchers, who have not demonstrated the ability to, you know, catch the football.

Sam Bradford was inaccurate against the Cowboys, in gif form

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles' loss to the Cowboys yesterday was so gross that Eagles fans are almost dumbfounded, looking for answers. Was it scheme? Is Chip Kelly way in over his head in the NFL? Is there some kind of grand answer to the Eagles' problems? Personally, I just don't think the Eagles made any plays offensively, easy or hard. They simply stunk. The Eagles couldn't catch, they absolutely couldn't block, and Sam Bradford didn't throw the ball well, as we'll show below.

Eagles may not have to face a pair of high-profile quarterbacks

by Jimmy Kempski

The last thing some Eagles fans want to hear right now is, "The Eagles don't have to face (fill in the name of a player on some team on their schedule)," seeing as they just got absolutely destroyed by a Cowboys team missing six starters. However, for those of you who haven't thrown in the towel on the season just yet, the Eagles may not have to face Saints QB Drew Brees Week 5 or Dallas QB Tony Romo Week 9.

If you're a glutton for punishment, we've already shown you all the Eagles' dropped passes over the first two weeks of the season. Spoiler: It's not pretty. In the run game, the Eagles managed to pick up seven yards on 17 carries.
