That’s not to diminish the contributions of Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard, Boston Scott, Kenny Gainwell or any of the Eagles’ starting offensive linemen during this stretch.
There’s a reason the 59-year-old offensive line coach has now served for three different head coaches in Philadelphia and keeps getting retained.
He was already one of the best position coaches in Eagles history before this historic run and he has further cemented his legacy with it.
On Tuesday night against Washington, after just a few days of notice and without any practice, the Eagles were forced to start Sua Opeta at left guard in place of Landon Dickerson.
Earlier in the season, the Eagles were a heavy passing offense until Sirianni figured out that running the ball was really the formula.
Sirianni jokes that he used to think he was Frank Reich’s favorite coach until he heard him talk about Stout.
It’s why he doesn’t just coach the Eagles ‘starters, but develops everyone from giant former rugby players to Army graduates.
5, Stoutland wasn’t feeling well and he needed to be taken to a local hospital in North Jersey for an evaluation.
