I can't see why he wouldn't. He is Kelly's closest lieutenant.

Good use of words.

Hes really more of a colonel.

I'd say warrant officer. You know....he has a fancy title and all but he doesn't actually do anything.

He doesn't have that relaxed look about him, so I'd say sergeant major. It looks like he's already got the senseless yelling down.

Right they called plays to his strength and it works crazy lol...I'm not gonna get in a huge agrument about kap but his numbers were better in 2014 then Cam's...having the proper HC and OC can make all the difference. It will be interesting to see what chip does at the QB position.

What plays do we need to call to maximize kap's strengths? Should we exclusively run read option and one-read plays that don't require any footwork, touch, anticipation or reading the coverage?

I said in my last post I'm not gonna get into a agrument over Kap. I do know if there's a coach who can get the most out of him( use him to his strengths) it's chip Kelly...if he can make Nick Foles a pro-bowler id like to think he can at the very least make kap a serviceable QB.

Mangini's defense is exactly what the niners need to compliment Kelly's offense, however, the pass rush has to be addressed. The pass rush this past season was really bad. If that can be addressed, this defense will create turnovers and a lot of 3 and outs.

Sounds like WR coach Bicknell is confirmed to join us in same role. Tomfoola wanted him as an OC.

You think so? I disagree I'd rather have a more simplistic defense like Vic or Pettine run. If they are gonna be on the field more I'd rather they know where they need to be, players IMO we out of position way too much with mangini's scheme...I feel like there's a ton of young talent on defense and id prefer Pettine over mangini.

The only way I want him back is over Billy Davis he's a awful DC...plus the fact that there would be a little familiarity with him staying.

Totally agree on pass rush gonna need so help there. Damn you Aldon smith!!

Very nice start from my understanding.

From what I read, yes...and the endorsements and links by knowledgeable posters in here are very good.

Seems kind of like a mixed review. But its a WR coach so pretty low on the who cares factor. A lot of people didn't like John Morton but didn't stop the 49ers from winning a lot of games.

The Eagles have had some very productive wide receivers during Bicknell's tenure.DeSean Jackson (who was actually involved in a verbal altercation with Bicknell during a Vikings game) had a great season in 2013 and Riley Cooper played at a surprisingly high level. In 2014, Cooper took a step back but Jeremy Maclin experienced a career year. Rookie slot receiver Jordan Matthews also burst onto the scene with a strong performance.

It's hard to say Bicknell will be missed. He reportedly clashed with former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who allegedly cursed the coach out at one point. Philadelphia's young wide receivers didn't exactly flourish under Bicknell's watch.
