Some of Chip Kelly's coaching mantras have required a decoder. There was "Feed the tuna mayonnaise" (become as efficient as possible), "Water the bamboo" (continue to work without visible results) and "A quarterback is like a tea bag" (you won't know how they will do until you put them in hot water).
Then there's his credo for the UCLA defense, which requires only one word and speaks for itself.
Enter Kelly and a 3-4 defensive alignment designed to do one thing exceptionally well.
"Really good at stopping the run," Kelly said when asked what had drawn him to that formation over the years.
