Another day, another disgruntled Eagles player passively lashing out against Chip Kelly.

This time it was defensive end Brandon Graham who opened up about the bleak atmosphere around the NovaCare complex with Kelly at the helm.

“It was all of the crazy stuff that happened,” Graham said this week. “You have Maclin, you have McCoy, you have DJacc (DeSean Jackson) all gone. I think that is what hurt. Those guys, I mean yeah, there are guys that you have to deal with. It comes with the territory.”

Graham joined numerous other current and former Eagles players in reiterating the sentiment that, if you’re part of a Kelly production, you’d be better be ready to jump into a square hole no matter how rounded your skill set.

Graham was converted from defensive end to pass-rushing outside linebacker during Kelly’s stay and said his former coached seemed detached until he settled into the switch. That disconnect has been mended under Philadelphia’s new head coach Doug Pederson, according to Graham.

“Coach Pederson is taking an active role and making sure he speaks to everybody,” Graham explained. “All I want to be able to do is communicate with my head coach, say hello, have side conversations.”

With the 49ers, Kelly won’t have control over personnel like he did in Philadelphia, which should expel players’ concern about unexpected departures of key players.

San Francisco CEO Jed York refuted the attacks on Kelly’s openness and communication skills vehemently, saying that Kelly has thus far displayed the exact opposite.

“Nothing’s further from the truth, from what I’ve seen.” York said on the “Rich Eisen Show” this week. “He’s been a great communicator with me, with the entire coaching staff, with the players.”

Another aspect of Kelly’s regime that reportedly damaged his situation in Philadelphia was his grueling training camp schedule. In San Francisco, it seems that Kelly has scaled his offseason practices back, or at least tweaked them to be more accommodating of his players.

Wide receiver Torrey Smith recently said that this training camp looks more appealing than any he’s every seen on paper, and York was impressed by the level of competition the practices have evoked early on.

“So, everybody talks about Chip’s up-tempo practices, things like that,” York said. “You see a lot of competition, just little drills that they’re doing, and you’re watching guys that wouldn’t usually be on a special teams, like a Carlos Hyde, like a NaVorro Bowman, going up against each other in a special teams drill because you keep score, just like everything that you do. It’s just fun to see, I mean, it’s like, it’s a high energy fun practice.”

While encouraging, take York’s statements with a grain of salt. Whether strenuous relationships spring up between Kelly and members of the 49ers organization at all levels will be something to look for early on and could heavily implicate how successful his time in San Francisco will be. If he’s learned from his experiences in Philadelphia, the organization is in good shape heading forward.
