The massive offseason changes orchestrated by Philadelphia head coach Chip Kelly have yet to pay dividends. Here are two more changes that can help the Eagles (0-2) fly high again.

*Tweak the running attack: Based upon the success experienced by Atlanta and Dallas, defenses may have gotten wise to the zone-blocking schemes that have helped Philadelphia field one of the league's most productive rushing attacks the past two seasons under Kelly. It's too early to tell whether Kelly made a huge mistake replacing 2014 starting guards Evan Mathis and Todd Herremans with Allen Barbre and Andrew Gardner but the early returns aren't promising.

*Take a deep breath: Kelly hasn't won 10 games a year in Philly by accident. He has plenty of talent on this roster to rebound. Plus, there was the chance for early growing pains with Sam Bradford coming off a knee injury in his first season starting at quarterback. A win would go a long way toward lessening some of the outside pressure on one of the league's most scrutinized teams.
