Kelly: I hope to be like Coach Coughlin someday to win enough games so no one questions whether I want to stay here or not.

On the offense:

Chip Kelly: Sam Bradford was a little more quiet in April and May, but as he's started rolling he's asserting himself more.

Kelly: We look at Josh Huff as a starter right now, not as a future starter. We knew he had the capability of doing this.

Kelly: Jason Kelce is ideal for any system. He has to be your coach on the field. He's a very intelligent player. Lots of film study.

On coach Jerry Azzinaro:

Kelly: Jerry Azzinaro is a very good evaluator. He's as good a fundamental teacher as I've ever been around.

On the Giants:

Kelly: The whole defensive system for the Giants is different with Steve Spagnuolo at coordinator. It's a totally different system.

Kelly: Eli is doing a great job at getting rid of the ball quick. They have receivers who can get open quickly.

On Walter Thurmond:

Kelly: Walter Thurmond had a really bad knee injury at Oregon. Otherwise, I was convinced he was a first-round pick.
