Adam Caplan REVEALS What Really Happened With Jeff Stoutland & Breaks Down Eagles Offseason!

22 comments

1. The Stout debacle will be remembered for years to come & not in a good way.

2. It was Nicky who demoted Stoutland to allow KP run the offense 100% of the time. Big mistake, and now the whole team has imploded.

   Nicky should have been fired in 2023, but there were two morons before him. 😮

   If Eagles have less than 85% chance of winning a playoff game, then fire Nicky today and spare us a wasted season. 😅

3. Exactly its been a very cold and windy winter this year people say Hurts accuracywas off this yr but everybody forgets the last 5 home games in philly were 40 MPH wind gust even in the playoff game smh one of the windiest yrs ever

4. The changes made in scheme WILL NOT WORK; rather, they needed to do EXACTLY what #NickFoles & #TheSZNPodcast said — ie, remain a split-zone offense (esp the #OLine scheme) & INCORPORATE backside #Bootlegs alongside MORE COMPLEX ROUTE-RUNNING (eg, a #PopCorn front-side w/ a #Levels backside w/ a flat/wheel as the dump). The #SplitZone blocking vs #ReachSlide blocking scheme is IDEAL for a #DualThreat #QB w/ a (previously) successful #RPO game. The latter (ie, the new system) IS NOT IDEAL for a Dual-Threat QB, esp any RPO system, b/c the immediate gain-ground & full slide approach to said reach, outside zone scheme almost negates ANY POSSIBILITY FOR THE RPO b/c of #IllegalManDownfield — outside of WHEN the blocking switches to split- or inside-zone tech for called RPOs, which will become an IMMEDIATE GIVEAWAY TO THE LBs & the Slot/Safety. This is going to become a pass-heavy, timing offense that’s not ideal for Jalen, & eliminates the run-portion of Jalen except when the defense can pattern-adjust, immediately, after the snap whenever the Defense is in ANY ZONE OR ZONE-MATCH play-call. AND I’M SOLELY ASSESSING BASED ON THE QB TALENT…FORGET ASSESSING THE #OLine SCHEME BASED ON THEIR CURRENT OLine TALENT (& complete uncertainty at TE).

   Then if you look at the #Eagles’ #Defense, KEEPING #Fangio was CRITICAL; HOWEVER, they KNEW/KNOW HE’S a ONE-YEAR #DC. AND the Eagles LET #Parker out the door; who is/was the PERFECT FOLLOW-UP TO Fangio b/c of his teaching & knowledge of the scheme, esp back-7, which is what drives Fangio’s multi-front/backside augmented 3/4 Defense. Now, #ChristianParker is a NO-GO (re: availability) for 2027 b/c #Cowboys have him locked up, so WHO’S THE HEIR-APPARENT TO FANGIO when he leaves in 2027?

   Thus, this Eagles’ OFFSEASON IS/WILL BE A 💯 FAILURE BY #Howie & #Jeffrey DUE TO THE #Stoutland & #CP LOSSES. They went all-in after a season that was good, not great, largely due to injured players, & scrapped their future on HOPE — & as #JMC always says HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY.🦅

5. Fredo Sirriani is wrecking this team

6. 18:40 AJ wasn't pissed off until the offense stopped flowing thru him & starting going thru Saquon. So is it that the offense no longer flows through him or that Jalen doesn't know how play on time…??

   Bc when he was the focal pt of the Offense he had no problems with Jalen's play

   Now that he's not the offensive focus…. The narrative is that he's upset bc of Jalen's play & not bc the Focus of the Offense has shifted away from him…..

   Jalen Hurts catches the blame for everything from Philly media

   You know who actually doesn't play on time + constantly misses open receivers but everyone around him takes the blame…..JOSH ALLEN…. But the media can't stroke him hard enough

7. Who is “they?” Nick? Howie? Lurie?

8. Fucking milenial liberalized bullshit. You fire someone. You relieve them of their duty. You stripped them of their power and respect. Whether that is the intention or not doesn’t matter. Who the fuck is respecting that person ?????? Why do they not understand these wildly simple leadership principles????? Why would you listen to them about anything? Shit makes me want to scream

9. Yes the owner is demanding. It seems he has empowered Howie. What have the results been? 3 Super Bowls, 2 Championships in less than 10 years… Who has been better the last 10 years? 2 teams with all time great QB's.
   It's working, that's the bottom line.

10. So nobody really knows the full story of what happened with Stout or they're afraid to talk about it. And it seems clear that insiders are afraid to say much (Caplan mentions getting yelled at by the Eagles for saying things so it is policed, they worry their access will be cut off). What all Eagles fans seem to know intuitively is that Stout felt disrespected. Based on his players stories, he really deserved respect. I think it's important to give your elder expert coaches respect. The Eagles seem to be eager to sweep out everything old, at least on offense. I wonder how much Lurie's young son was involved in coach hires etc

11. Stoutland is 63. I'm 63. You get really tired of all the BS, especially when a Sirianni-led team is constantly a CF (Positivity bunny, anyone? What is this, kindergarten?). Being in two SBs and winning one hides that. And Patullo? I had a feeling he was no more than VP of Paperclips and Rubber Bands before being made OC. When he was removed as OC, I said to get him out of the building. He had an attitude afterward, and they don't need that in the building.

    So Hurts couldn't handle Steichen's initial offense? Oh, sh*t!

12. Looks like Hurts AND Nick are on the clock ⏰
    Via waived the trade clause and peace out….. Houston, Hurts is coming home……..

13. The amount of disrespect that Jalen Hurts has to go through is ridiculous . All Jalen Hurts does is WIN ! All of the rest of the stuff is bull shit.

14. Sirianni and Patullo concocted this removal of Stout from offensive line coach

15. All you need to know is this dude thinks Hurts is a great QB, that as well as everything else he says is BS based on his ‘22 logic. Stoutland runs his outside zone like a middle zone. If we want movement on the like, not so passive, he’s not the guy. He’s still getting paid, everyone needs to stop crying ab out this. Based on our run game last year, the coordinator should have been fired, no??

16. I got yelled at by the Eagles years ago, translation I’m touting the company line now.

17. Everyone with half a brain knows the issue is mostly Hurts.

18. As talented as he is, Hurts has some glaring limitations which, apparently, he is unwilling to address. With that, the OC, whomever it is, is obliged to deal with whatever Hurts is WILLING to do. Not a promising scenario for the new OC. And yes, if Hurts continues to play this way, A.J. Brown will be out of Philly fairly quickly. He's not inclined to put up with the nonsense.

19. Sirianni not calling plays, not good at coach acquisition/hiring and seems to be a poor people manager as it relates to the coaches. WTAF does he do for a living? Is it just pom poms and some cheering? 📣 🤷🏼‍♂️

20. Love hearing Adam’s insight huge fan of itb

21. Jalen has his flaws like any other QB in the NFL but the level of disrespect and he can’t do this and he can’t do that is unlike any other QB playing in the league right now. I’m all for criticism but make it fair.

    He can’t throw! He will never overcome being benched for Tua! He will never be a starter in the NFL!

    He’s proved his doubters wrong at every stop. It’s killing them to be proven wrong and readjust their thoughts

22. Two guys sitting outside a locked room making guesses about what's going on in there. As far as I can tell, they know about as much as I do. This barely even qualifies as content.
