Chip Kelly's play-calling sheet mentions food, Drew Brees and geography

On Monday night's ESPN broadcast, a dispatch from sideline reporter Lisa Salters revealed a closeup of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly's much-revered, dark and mysterious play-calling sheet.

Nor surprisingly, it's in a language that some of the world's best codebreakers might struggle to crack, unless they happened to coach alongside Kelly at some point in his itinerant career.

But it's fun to give a glance at some of the verbiage that Kelly uses for his up-tempo offense and what it might mean.

On the left side of the sheet, under the "Normal - 1st/2nd - Left Hash" heading, we see a play called Load 13 Brees. As in Drew? Does the New Orleans Saints quarterback know that Kelly is using his name? Maybe it's one of the successful plays Brees ran against Kelly and the Eagles in that playoff loss back in January. Ouch.

Below that we have Lou 7 Pickle, which might be a hoagie you can order back in Philly. I suggest the coach opens a restaurant in the coming months called Chip's Chophouse, or something of that ilk.

On both sides of the ledger we have plays that refer to Tony Hash, which most assuredly was the name of the shylock character in an Elmore Leonard novel.

Over on the right side of the Denny's menu, we are treated to servings of pickle, Idaho (potatoes?) and Rock 12 Blow, which is one play we'd really rather not touch. This is a family-friendly blog, after all.

What does it all mean? Oh, who really knows? We can decifer some of it, such as the down-and-distance situations, and the word "load" often refers to an option run play. Also, it's common for football coaches to use words starting with L and R — such as "Lou" and "Roy — to indicate the direction of a play, or what side of the formation a certain player lines up, either left or right.

But a lot of it will be tough to figure out. For instance, check out the photo atop this story where you can clearly read the word "SLEEZY" atop Sean Payton's call sheet. We're not making any assumptions here.
