"We are the Fury"
Great article:
Evan Mathis writes about impending surgery, Chip Kelly, how less was more in year with Broncos
For those who just want to read what Mathis thinks of Chip Kelly:
“There were many things that Chip had done that showed me he wasn’t building a championship team,” Mathis wrote in his e-mail to 9NEWS. “Two of the main issues that concerned me were: 1. A never-evolving, vanilla offense that forced our own defense to play higher than normal play counts. 2. His impatience with certain personality types even when they were blue-chip talents. The Broncos team I was on would have eaten Chip alive. I don’t think he could have handled the plethora of large personas."

This is, by the way, the same Evan Mathis who wrote he doesn't retroactively censure past coaches because of "respect' and "team chemistry". Now we know that's a lie. More to the point though, Mathis' statements do provide us with some insight into the Eagles' playbook. There's vindication here for those who said Kelly's offense was too simple and his personnel approach dipping with hubris and bias. Mathis laments the loss of Pro-Bowl talents and partly attributes that notion to why he left.
