Tweetcap: Kelly Wraps Up 2014 Season

Dec 29, 2014 at 12:56 AM

HC Chip Kelly: I thought Bill Davis did a really good job. Defense improved in different spots, wasn't as good in others.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I think everybody's evaluated. I'm evaluated. But I like our coaching staff. Lots of good teachers. We work well together.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: We didn't make the playoffs. You're measured by your postseason success.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Sometimes INTs happened for offensive reasons. Not always quarterbacks. Turnovers aren't always black and white. Have to analyze each.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: The whole offseason process is parking your ego outside the door and learning how to make yourself better. We can improve.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Our philosophy is, if they haven't learned it, we're not teaching it the right way. It's all a process, and we're still learning.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I definitely think our quarterbacks improved and played good football at times. Had good stats in some fields, but still, turnovers.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Injuries in this league are part of the deal. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady missed entire seasons. That's the nature of the position.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: We haven't made any evaluations of anything, or any decisions at any position. Time is on our side right now. No reason to be hasty.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Evaluations are done by position coaches, and then coordinators, and then up to me. It's all evaluated equally.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I think X-plays defensively, and turnovers offensively, are the two biggest things you can put your finger on.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Those are two things we were good at last year, but not this year.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: We don't turn a blind eye at any aspect of a player's evaluation.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I can improve on everything. We can all be more self-aware about what we're doing. Better play calls, better recognition, everything.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Darren Sproles was a huge boost. We felt he could be a dual threat as a runner and as a returner. Punt returns became a legit weapon.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Sproles had a huge impact on us. Was pretty much the only receiver we had that consistently got double-covered. Worked very hard.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: My relationship with Howie's good. I'll let him know who I want back, but I also know there are tons of factors out there.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: One of the attractive things about this franchise is the lack of cap issues. I think Howie does a great job with that.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I think we have a great bunch of guys, and guys that share the same vision as everybody else. Makes going to work excellent.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Philly is a destination spot. It's one of the top franchises in the league, and as long as Mr. Lurie' in charge it'll be that way.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I think Nick Foles just needs to continue to work, and he's always had a great work ethic. Attacked rehab. Continuing to grow as QB.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: When Nick makes a mistake, very rarely does he make that mistake again.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: We've got an outstanding group of coaches and personnel, but we understand that opportunities will arise, and we won't hold guys back.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I thought LeSean had a great season. Finished with 10 different starting offensive lineman. Played well.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: If anybody realizes one thing about this place, it's that nothing's handed to you. You have to beat out guys in front of you to play.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I think Chris Polk has a really good skill set. Good running back, outstanding special teams guy. He's been banged up.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: Polk had a great offseason. I know he can play in this league, as does he, and he just needs to stay healthy.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: We'll just monitor DeMeco's rehab. Sounds like he's right on track. Out of the walking cast. I'm a big DeMeco fan.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: We try to identify every position that we can hitch our wagon to. Everything factors into this thing as we move forward.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: There are no immediate priorities. We make every position a priority. Everything we can do to upgrade this team, we'll try to do.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: I thought Jordan Matthews did a great job. Did well transitioning from college to NFL. Got stronger as year went on. Huge upside.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: One thing I love about Jordan Matthews is that he's constantly trying to improve himself.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) December 29, 2014

Chip: The chance to compete and play at this level is extremely intriguing to me because every single game is competitive. No better place.
