Chip Kelly says Eagles' defensive secondary is 'lactose intolerant'

Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly is feeling pretty good about his team after they thumped the Ravens Saturday Night 40-17.

One area that was a huge focal point during the offseason after a disastrous 2014 campaign were the defensive backfield and the rebuilt unit is showing signs of great improvement.

“I think they understand what Cory Undlin and Billy [Davis, the defensive coordinator] are trying to get accomplished back there,” Kelly said, via ESPN.

“I think they are lactose intolerant in terms of they do not bite the cheese in front of them. When they have a deep zone, they play the deep zone.
