Lesean McCoy on Chip Kelly: "There's a reason Chip got rid of all the good black players."


Recommended Posts

I wish Shady would clarify his remarks. He didn't say enough to fully explain himself.

What I think may be going on here is Kelly coming in and looking around at his players and deciding that nobody will make top pay and be above his coaching control. You see NBA superstars virtually dictating what happens in personnel and coaching decisions yet this is a very rare situation in the NFL. Lots of these guys are replaceable and even the best can be quickly shuffled off the team.

Love reading your academic philosophical babble...let's me know that you are actually using that liberal arts/anthropology degree that you got. Not sure that is really helps you while bar tending.

 

apparently it helps me keep from saying silly things on the internet... you might wanna give it a shot yourself :)

Everyone including Shady forgets that Chip getting rid of "top players" theory crapped out when he signed DeMarco Murray.He traded and let players walk but brought in defense and others.  As he said with McCoy, he got 2 good players for one great one.

 

It all holds no water. The bottom line is Chip didnt like the culture, and chunked a few players that didnt fit.  Deseans comments and lack of class in it all shows the most probable reason Chip didnt find some other players to chunk to get what he wanted.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
