Defensive coaches reportedly found Chip Kelly offense ‘easiest’ to prepare for

Chip Kelly

Chip Kelly’s revolutionary offense apparently isn’t so revolutionary to the coaches tasked with preparing for it.

Chris B. Brown of the Ringer went in-depth on Kelly’s NFL offense and dissected how predictable and unoriginal it became in his final season in Philadelphia. Adam Caplan of ESPN went a step further when sharing the story, offering up a tidbit that no offensive coach would ever want to hear.

Kelly’s offense doesn’t seem to have evolved. Defenses don’t respect his quarterbacks as threats on the ground an gear up to stuff the run game, and they lack creativity and adaptability. We got a hint of this lack of flexibility in quotes offered by one Eagles player shortly after Kelly was fired last December. It’s quite interesting to hear these sorts of criticisms levied against the offense of a guy like Kelly who came into the NFL so highly advertised, though.
