No shade thrown, but just seeing this thread created made me feel like we were daring fate. I hate this news
I haven't heard either way. If it's only a partial tear, it could be just a couple months that he is out.Assuming season ender?
Bad juju, that's for sure. Never make a thread like this again. Ever.No shade thrown, but just seeing this thread created made me feel like we were daring fate. I hate this news
Needs surgery, out for majority of the seasonI haven't heard either way. If it's only a partial tear, it could be just a couple months that he is out.
I'm seeing a 6 month recovery if surgery is needed, so if he needs surgery, he is out for the season. Awful news.Needs surgery, out for majority of the season


My main issue with this prediction is at OL Coach. I think they had an older established OL coach. We have someone who never did it before.It’s a blow but not insurmountable. We have options in-house and there are guys out there still in FA. None are at Tunsil’s level for sure. However the oft quoted Bears offensive line got by just fine last season running a similar scheme as we project to run this year. At LT they featured a conveyor belt of guys before settling on a rookie late in the season.
If I recall correctly, we had our offensive staff in place before the Eagles let their guy go.My main issue with this prediction is at OL Coach. I think they had an older established OL coach. We have someone who never did it before.
My concern, frankly, is there primarily with our OL. AP should be fired if he never called the Eagles old OL Coach, given the difference in proven ability. I just don't see how our guy can be considered reliable with the lack of track record, by comparison. It seems most of the best OLs from last year had proven commodities leading, which probably shouldn't be a surprise.

I didn't know that - did Stoutland prefer the shotgun heavy alignment? Are you sure? If so, then definitely not a fit. I know he was unhappy with "changes" they made last year and a lot of things that "didn't work" according to him. I read some of his quotes for sure. I know he said he was likely taking a year off, which is why I didn't say AP should have hired him, only called/inquired. I really wanted that box checked, having a proven OL Coach this year, who had success. Especialy with a green OC. It would have been a huge help, potentially. We'll see though.To put it frankly, Bloughs scheme and the Eagles OL Coach (Stoutland) preferences do not mix well. Eagles almost never did Motion because the OL Coach demanded that. It was a Shotgun heavy QB alignment, and Blough wants to do much more Under Center than Stoutland would like.
Also Stoutland is I believe...retired.
I know. I guess it may not have been doable in that sense, maybe they were already working on things. That is one position, though, where I absolutely wanted someone proven, and Stoutland has the resume at least.If I recall correctly, we had our offensive staff in place before the Eagles let their guy go.
