Chip Kelly: 'Nick Foles's quick mind makes up for lack of mobility'

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly believes that quarterback Nick Foles's quick mind makes up for his lack of mobility.

Foles has replaced starter Michael Vick, who is renowned for his running ability, as the Eagles' QB in recent weeks and has starred throwing 16 touchdowns to guide his side to a 5-5 record.

Kelly told CSNPhilly.com: "The thing with Nick is, he may not be fleet of foot, but he's fleet of mind. He's a really, really good decision maker.

"You have to be a good decision maker to know when to give it and to know when to pull it. It's really just taking advantage of what the defense is.

"If they're all going to commit and try to take away the running back and no one's responsible for the quarterback, you've got to be able to make them pay, and Nick has done that for us."

The Eagles face the Washington Redskins in their week 11 clash later today.
