Here’s a position-by-position review of the Eagles’ offensive performance against the Broncos.
The tight end position was expected to be a major component of the Chip Kelly offense. All signs pointed in this direction.
He moved quickly to sign free-agent James Casey to a three-year, $12 million deal, then used the 35th overall pick in April’s draft on Zach Ertz. He spoke of using three tight-end sets to “smash” the opponent. Even introduced a four tight-end look this preseason.
It is a surprise, then, how little Kelly has featured his tight ends through three games.

Here’s a look at Eagles snap counts against the Chargers, with notes on Brandon Graham, James Casey, Earl Wolff and others.
When the Eagles signed James Casey during the offseason, Chip Kelly described the versatile tight end as a new “toy” that could be featured in a variety of places in the Eagles’ offense.
But when the Birds finally played their first regular season game, Casey was on the sideline for every offensive snap until it was kneel-down time late in the fourth quarter.
“We won the game,” Casey said. “That’s the only thing that really matters. I got some snaps on special teams, but a lot of that stuff’s out of my control. I can only control what I do on the practice field and how I’m performing when I get opportunities. I can’t make myself get on the field. That’s the coach’s decision. I’ve thought I’ve done a really good job throughout the preseason. I’ve thought I’ve done a really good job at practice. That’s all I can really do. It’s not like I went out there and played really bad and then [didn’t get] opportunities.”
Of the 61 spots on the Eagles’ roster (practice squad included), five are occupied by guys who played their college ball at Oregon.
Today, Chip Kelly was asked if his familiarity with the former Ducks can help him build his program with the Eagles.
“If we were gonna sing the Oregon fight song, it would,” Kelly joked.
