The new Philadelphia Eagles hyperactive offense could be even faster, according to head coach Chip Kelly.
Kelly’s quick tempo offense shined brightly in its NFL debut, as the Eagles won their season opener in a 33-27 win against the Washington Redskins on Monday night.
Quarterback Michael Vick executed his head coach’s offense with efficiency and poise. The Eagles ran 77 plays for a total of 443 yards.
“I felt like it was slow, to be honest with you,” Kelly said Tuesday. “I’m not joking. We’ve got to do a better job. We left the ball on the ground too much. We didn’t get the ball to the officials. We could have sped things up from a process between plays. That’s something we need to continue to work on.”
Kelly was happy with his team’s efforts but recognizes that they could get better.
“I saw a team play their first game,” Kelly said. “I was pleased, but we still have got a lot of work to do. There’s so many things we can continue to work on.”
