3. TROY AIKMAN: CHIP KELLY IS A "FOOTBALL NERD"
FOX analyst Troy Aikman is impressed with head coach Chip Kelly. "I'm a big fan. You can tell he's a football nerd. He loves being in the film room studying it, coming up with different ways to attack defenses and get better. I like being around those types of guys. He brings a real energy to this program, something that was probably needed ... I like him a lot."
Aikman, who of course won three Super Bowls as the quarterback of the Cowboys, says the offensive scheme is "two or three offenses kind of rolled into one." The offense, says Aikman, stretches defenses out horizontally and vertically, and the running back is a powerful focal point with spread formations part of the equation.
"It's about creating space with your players, and it's also a numbers game as to what side is most advantageous, and that's what side they're going to attack."
Aikman insists the offensive structure is very "sound," and nothing close to a "gimmick offense" that some in the media thought prior to these six games.
