Sam Bradford practices Tuesday; Rowe likely to start vs. Patriots

by Jimmy Kempski

For those of you who haven't conceded a loss to the reigning champion New England Patriots this week and are still interested in who plays and who doesn't, it appears that Sam Bradford's week is off to a promising start. It does not look as promising for Ryan Mathews.

And now people are saying Titans could send first round pick for Chip Kelly

by Jimmy Kempski

If the season ended today, the Titans would have the #1 overall pick in the draft. If the first overall pick (or anything close to that for that matter) for Chip Kelly sounds too good to be true, it's for good reason -- There isn't a snowball's chance in hell the Tennessee Titans are giving up the number one overall pick for Chip Kelly.

Barring a miraculous turnaround, Eagles should part ways with Chip Kelly

by Jimmy Kempski

After just three years with Chip Kelly at the helm, it's already time to analyze whether or not the future of the franchise dictates that Kelly must go. In my view, it's time.

"I've never spoken with anybody from USC," Kelly told reporters at the NoveCare Complex on Monday. "I've never emailed anybody from USC. I never had a phone call with anybody from USC. I've never had contact with Southern California."

Eagles only one game back in the garbage NFC East

by Jimmy Kempski

Over the last three weeks, it can be argued that the 4-7 Eagles played three consecutive games that rank among the 10 worst losses in the last 15 years. And yet, because the NFC East is beyond atrocious, the Eagles are still just one game out.

A look ahead to the 2016 quarterback class: Christian Hackenberg edition

by Jimmy Kempski

Sam Bradford missed his second straight game on Thanksgiving, and the the Eagles have not had QB start all 16 regular season games in 21 of the last 25 years. No team in the NFL has had a higher total over that span. If Bradford is not the Eagles' Week 1 starter in 2016, the Eagles will be starting their sixth different quarterback since 2009. That is incredible instability at the quarterback position.

Chip Kelly's 'culture' never really existed

by Jimmy Kempski

Jason Kelce is exactly what Chip Kelly, or really any coach, wants in his players -- a robot. In my opinion, Kelce is a conscious robot, in that he knows that being a robot is what is best for the team, but a robot nevertheless who will do whatever the coaches ask of him, never questioning their methods. To be clear, in no way is it a bad thing that Kelce is a robot. If you could have 53 robots on one team, you'd really have something.
