Chip Kelly not concerned by time of possession

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly is not worried if his side lose the time of possession battle next season as long as they score points.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly is not concerned if his side lose the time of possession battle going into the regular season.

Kelly was renowned for his side's speed with offensive series during his tenure at college side Oregon and is expected to bring that high tempo to the NFL.

He told reporters: "I've heard the question about time of possession, but we've talked about all the time -- time of possession is how much time can the other team waste.

"Most games, we lose the time of possession, but it's how many snaps do you face? And I think in both [pre-season] games we've played, we've played more snaps than our other team."

The Eagles open their regular season campaign against Washington Redskins on September 9.
