Only the fact that Murray's and Mathews' contracts worth together just $1 million more than McCoy's, makes these signings worthy and relevant..

RB is a devalued position.............

unless you have Marshawn Lynch

unless Shady McCoy leads the league in total yards from scrimmage (like he did two years ago)

unless Murray leads the NFL in rushing......

Dallas has a great Oline, but not 1854 yards great.

We'll get to see how great their line is as the Cowboys sign..........................wait for it.......................Darren McFadden!

Now, if this guy gets 1500 yards, my treat for the Dallas Oline.

Otherwise, NOW Dallas has a devalued position.......

In terms of the Eagles, Kelly wanted a North/South guy, and thought McCoy was too much of a "dancer".

With Murray in the backfield, "overrated" Tony Romo lead the league in:

Completion percentage
Touchdown percentage
Yards per attempt
Game Winning Drives

34 touchdowns, 9 picks...............and I hate the Cowboys

They threw less, and won more.

What's weird for the Eagles is that at the start of the week, it was all Frank Gore. He ran for 5 yards a clip outta the shotgun, which is the Eagles base offense, so..............

And then Gore changed his mind. Then the Eagles. Does Kelly go after Murray if he has Gore? Doubt it. So, Gore changing his mind set this whole thing into motion...........

Now, Kelly is some sort of "mad genius" for all these changes!

The ONLY way this works is if, like Romo, Bradford throws effectively, not all the time. COULD this happen?

Well, it happened once...................

Stay tuned.

Their strong o-line + running game took pressure off Romo and overshadowed their 6th-worst defense (5.8 yards per play) by owning the time of possession.

Only $8M in cap space - follow their moves closely. If they don't upgrade their D, they will be a great team to fade next year.

If he is a genius like people are saying then he definitely has this in his back pocket.

Dallas had alot of injurys on D.. and getting Sean Lee back is a huge addition. Dallas will draft a top rb ( Melvin or gurley). I would be careful fading the boys.. and this is coming from a cowboy hater

LOL at anyone saying Chip doesn't know what he is doing. In his short tenure he has already proven a lot. Time will tell what these latest moves will dow for the team. Not an Eagles fan but I love watching Chip coached teams.

Sam Bradford expected to NOT be cleared for full practices in training camp when it opens in August. It's his 4th system in his NFL career.

Mark Sanchez played half a season last year, ended by a shoulder injury and surgery. His arm is said to be stronger and doing well.

Let's face it guys, Chip was banking on getting Marriotta in the draft and was ready to sell the future(draft picks wise) to obtain him. No one bit including the Titans.

The secondary is a mess. He brought in Cory Undlin as new DB coach. Walter Thurman is injury prone and moves to safety?? A more physical position...

Lot's of money and pressure on Byron Maxwell IMO.

I like Chip Kelly but 3 years from now he'll be back on a college sideline. He was given too much power too quickly by an owner more interested in the half his age wife
