Philadelphia Eagles running back DeMarco Murray (29) carries the ball past Atlanta Falcons linebacker O’Brien Schofield (50) in the third quarter at the Georgia Dome.

Of course, Philadelphia would like to see Murray find a rushing spark this weekend after a pair of disappointing outings in the first two weeks of the season. He literally carried the team to the game-clinching touchdown last week. They have run the ball 16 times on first down for only two yards. Before they had Ryan Mathews, they had Darren Sproles. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to reflect poorly on Kelly. Jordan Mathews has performed up to his number 1 receiver status, yet his supporting cast has not had the opportunity to due to lack of targets.
“I know it is there”, Bradford said. So all I’m here to do is trying to help the team win.
That lowered Bradford’s passer rating to 72.3, which is 33rd out of 37 listed quarterbacks.
We get the sense that there are a lot of National Football League coaches, players, and fans who don’t like the way that Chip Kelly operates in Philadelphia. He thinks remarks that it is are misguided. I know it’s only two games, but this offense (Chip’s signature) looks horrific. We did a great job. You have one guy who thinks he’s the smartest guy in the world.
“What I’m saying is that we need to execute”. Kelly said he isn’t considering replacing Bradford with former Jet Mark Sanchez.
LB Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) was injured in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys and didn’t practice Wednesday. If the Jets can control the clock and keep a potentially high-powered Eagles offense off the field, they’ll be in good shape.
The 51 year old is an advocate of sports science and has his players urine tested daily as he believed that dehydration helped aggravate soft tissue injuries.
“Sam is making the reads and the progressions going through what he has to in terms of getting from one to two to three“, Kelly said. “There’s something going on, too”. Mock it all you want but you can’t deny that it’s worked.
“Kiko won’t go this week”, Kelly said.
The change of scenery and the togetherness inherent in living together might promote a little more camaraderie. We have to come back and go to work. Backup WR Chris Owusu is out with a knee injury. The Jets, who are trying to start 3-0 for just the fifth time in franchise history, are 0-9 all-time against the Eagles.

The Jets have been a surprise to some this season.
