In Roob’s Eagles Observations: Jeff Stoutland, the offensive line miracle worker originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
A look at the miracles Jeff Stoutland has worked since joining the Eagles’ coaching staff in 2013, thoughts about Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee’s future and Jordan Mailata’s reaction to his Pro Bowl snub.
Eagles-Giants in Week 18 may be meaningless, but that’s definitely not the case with our Week 18 Random Eagles Observations!
1. Just how much of a miracle worker is Jeff Stoutland? His track record with the Eagles’ offensive linemen in his 12 years with the Eagles is staggering. From 1956 through 2012 — the 57 years before Stoutland got here — Eagles offensive linemen made a total of 22 Pro Bowls. From 2013 through this year, Eagles offensive linemen made a total of 26 Pro Bowls. That’s not only the most in the league, only the Cowboys are within 10. And get this: Under Stout, 10 different offensive linemen have started at least 25 games. Seven of those 10 have made at least one Pro Bowl: Evan Mathis, Jason Peters, Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, Landon Dickerson and now Cam Jurgens. The only exceptions are Allen Barbre, Isaac Seumalo and Jordan Mailata, who was snubbed this year even though he is the best left tackle in football. With 25-year-old Jurgens and 26-year-old Dickerson, this is the first time in 71 years the Eagles have had two Pro Bowl offensive linemen 26 or younger. In 1953, 25-year-old center Ken Farragut and 23-year-old tackle Lum Snyder both made it. The Eagles are also one of only two teams with seven different Pro Bowl offensive linemen since 2013. The Saints are the other, but their seven have only made a total of 14 Pro Bowls — 12 fewer than the Eagles’ seven. Three offensive linemen in franchise history have made at least five Pro Bowls, and Stoutland coached them all — Peters, Kelce and Johnson. And this is the most remarkable: Since the inception of the Pro Bowl in 1951, Eagles…
