Shurmur back to Philly

Utterly retarded move by Kelly. The majority of the public isn't going to understand the level of control that Kelly is going to have over the offense and they will see this hire as a huge mistake made by an unprepared college coach.

Philly fans are going to rip him apart for this, especially if the offense sputters.

kelly will succeed partly because he's smart enough to bring in people with NFL experience to fill out his coaching staff.

i expect what he builds at philly will be a streamlined and more potent version of what the offense is already used to there.

the guys not married to the read option. shurmur is there for his knowledge about the WCO which is about to get a kelly spin on it and make it relevant again.

Which makes for a weird situation when that guy becomes head coach :lol:

yeah, I wasn't surprised that the guy who took a "promotion" to run Josh McDaniels' practices, then stayed for John Fox, then changed "his" offense for The Golden Calf of Bristol and then Manning, was the same guy to go to SD and hire a guy who runs a different offense. Guy is tofu.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
