Nov 13, 2014 at 04:02 AM

Head coach Chip Kelly addressed the media Thursday to discuss what the Eagles should expect from the Packers on Sunday, and share his thoughts on his team's ever-evolving offense.

HC Chip Kelly: We just didn't execute, stay on blocks in order to run Monday night. We did good things, but we could be better.

Chip: We're working on returns after INTs, fumbles. Defensive does a period of that each week, so we're emphasizing it.

Chip: It's good to get a turnover, and it's great when you turn them into points. Our guys are greedy from that standpoint, which is good.

Chip: GB's defense is situational, as are most teams. Depends on down and distance. Changed a lot against Chicago.

Chip: With LeSean, he's doing a good job. Sometimes the holes are blocked up. All based on individual plays.

Chip: I like Casey Matthews' instincts. Good, quick decision maker. Good tackler in the box. Great demeanor, very even-keeled.

Chip: Connor Barwin did a really good job in terms of spying Cam Newton Monday. Brings his athletic abilities to the game. Good sports mind.

Chip: Acho, Matthews are very similar. Very, very intelligent players. Helpful because we're always trying to keep fresh players out there.

Chip: We felt that Jordan Matthews had the ability to play inside. Wanted to get bigger in slot, at WR position in general.

Chip: We talk to all of our players individually. Analyze what we did well, didn't do well. And then we take care of it.

Chip: With Cody Parkey , he's turned it into automatic once we get into range with him. Very consistent in practice.

Chip: With Donnie Jones, he's been excellent at downing the ball inside the 20. Just really good performance from him this year.

Chip: There's going to be days we run a lot, and days we throw a lot. At the end of the day, these players care about winning first.

Chip: I think LeSean's played well. Workhorse, played every game. When he gets going, he's been outstanding.

Chip: I think Mark Sanchez has had a good grasp of what we've been doing here since Day 1. Has played within himself, played well.

Chip: Using WR Josh Huff at RB in training is just to have an emergency plan in place in case of injuries.
