Skins vs Eagles week 1

Can the Chip Kelly's offense really run and function as quick as Denver's? Cris collinsworth said the play can't even come thru over the headset to the QB until the play is whistled ready to play by the ref.
I can understand a 2min drill but few teams can run a manning up tempo game and I don't see Vick doing it in hostile FedEx making the appropriate blitz pickups with our pass rush, and being effective. Nah I'm not buying it anymore.

No rule against the O-coordinator calling 2 plays once the headset is activated.
If they have the matchups on the field that they want, it is possible.

That is true. Perhaps the fans just make it too difficult to hear.

Forget defensive fatigue, defensive looks, and all of that. It all hinges on how the redskins front seven play. The key players will be Cofield, Orakpo, and Kerrigan. Cofield will need to consistently collapse the pocket. Orakpo will need to have a lot of discipline to contain Vick and McCoy and be able to make some tackles against the run. Kerrigan will need to make the plays we know he can make in the running and passing game. It will all be about spacing and not giving the eagles any.

No. Vick cannot handle reading defenses and adjustments at the line like Manning. In fact, probably no one can, but Vick's intelligence level compared to Mannings is laughable.

If Kelly had Manning, look out. I think it will be a mess with Vick running it. Then soon, Foles...and Barkley.
