Told that some of the linemen said they were thinking too much before Sunday's performance, Shurmur laughed.
"We just blocked better in the run game," Kelly said. "And obviously if we can get our run game going,Nike Vapormax Plus Sunset, then our pass game with our quick game and our play-action passes off of that,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, I think we kept (quarterback) Sam (Bradford) clean,Cheap NFL Jerseys, gave him an opportunity to throw the football. But, it starts with us being able to run the football, and we did a good job with that.
"So when our guys are saying 'We've got to do more, or we're overthinking things,' they're going past that first stage of 'go left and block a guy.' We can complicate the game sometimes. I'm going to make it simple. We've got to block them,China Jerseys Wholesale, but the runner's got to run; the quarterbacks are going to throw and the receivers are going to catch. That's sort of what it is."
NOTES: Four Eagles missed Wednesday's practice and could miss Monday's game against the New York Giants. Linebackers Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) and Kiko Alonso (knee), wide receiver Nelson Agholor (leg) and defensive end Brandon Bair (groin) were all out of practice.
"We've just got to play. Sometimes go right or go left,NFL Jerseys Outlet, or whatever you're going to do ... And block the guy that shows. Sometimes that's just what we need to do.
"I thought that was the key. We talked about being able to establish the run and then things can build off of that. But I credit those guys up front, I think they had a good week of preparation and they did a really nice job, Sunday."

"The mind is a dangerous thing," Shurmur said. "You've just got to go play sometimes. This is a game for PE (physical education) majors. We've got to just go play. We've got to be aggressive. We've just got to go."
Coach Chip Kelly credited the line for getting the team's running game going and ultimately the much-needed win over the Saints.
Kelly made it sound pretty basic as well.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur made it sound very simple, maybe too simple.
"This is what the offense is supposed to look like," tackle Jason Peters said after the win over the Saints. "It might not look like this every week. But this is what it's supposed to look like."
The Eagles offensive line played its best game of the season in last Sunday's 39-17 win over the New Orleans Saints. The Eagles' line did not allow a sack on 45 pass attempts and allowed the running game to go for a season-high 186 yards and more than 5 yards per carry. |
