1) That investment that the players have in the program? As linebacker Connor Barwin explained it to me, Kelly had to effect a culture change last year. This time around, the players are carrying the torch for him, to some degree, which means being involved on all facets of the operation. That's why I found this quote particularly interesting from the coach, on what he liked about free-agent addition Malcolm Jenkins, a former defensive captain of the Saints: "I think he's done a great job with our staff of asking a lot of interesting questions in terms of, 'Hey, maybe we can fit it this way,' as opposed to the way we are fitting it. I think he's really fit in, I think maybe better than anybody on our staff thought he was going to fit in." That Kelly's first thought was to mention a player's willingness to question the way things work says a lot about the way the Eagles operate.
