Coach Kelly: We feel very comfortable with our quarterback situation.

On the Cowboys:

Coach Kelly: Last time against Dallas, our game plan was more focused on Jason Witten without Bryant on the field. Two real weapons now.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) November 3, 2015

Coach Kelly: Greg Hardy has had 3 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. Need to be aware of where he is at all times.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) November 3, 2015

Kelly noted Matt Cassel's mobility as a thing to be aware of. Remember Cassel had a big game vs. #Eagles in 2013 w/Vikings

Coach Kelly: We have five days of training to plan how we're going to use our inside linebackers this Sunday against Dallas.

Kelly: Ertz is starting to get comfortable with what he can and can't do coming off the surgery in August
