Chip Kelly is making his presence felt in the Philadelphia Eagles clubhouse. He had already changed the diets like removing fast food fridays and tacos. Many expect him to speed up the offense to make it more like what he ran at Oregon.

But he has been moving DeSean Jackson down the depth chart having him run with the second team and now the third team.

“There were times when I was going with the threes, times when I was going with the twos, things like that,” Jackson told Tim McManus of PhillyMag.com. “There was a point where I went into Chip Kelly’s office and talked to him face-to-face to see what was going on with that.”

But surprisingly DeSean Jackson handled the situation maturely. I mean the storming in to the office image gives a negative image but the mature decision was to talk to him, and it continued after hearing what Chip Kelly had to say.

“He just expects everyone to do things a certain way,” Jackson said. “He was asking everybody to do the same thing. For myself, I just had to really hear it from his mouth to get that rapport with him and be on the same page with him. When I went in there, he said he expects everybody to buy into the system and do everything the right way.

“And if there is any little thing a player doesn’t want to do, that’s his way of reacting to it. The best thing I did was go talk to him instead of just sitting back and being mad.”

Chip Kelly wants his players to know every role of the offense. DeSean Jackson was accustomed to only being given one assignment in Andy Reid’s offense and was unaccustomed to the change which caused the initial demotion.

“At the beginning of the process I didn’t know the full offense and I didn’t know every play, so that probably had to do with why I was moved to different teams and things like that,” Jackson said. “Now I am all-in on the offense and I’m very familiar with the whole system. It’s a good thing that I am able to learn that and know what everyone is doing instead of one person. . . .

“Now I’m with the right group and everything is good and there’s never been no problems. I just had to get a feel for [Kelly] and know what he wants and what he expects me to do.”
