Whether or not Lane Johnson is able to come back for the playoffs, the Eagles face at least one crucial game without him.
Nick Sirianni was in full “competitive advantage” mode Wednesday when asked how the Eagles would replace Johnson. But most likely, offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland will make a 1-for-1 switch, with third-year pro Jack Driscoll replacing Johnson at right tackle.-round pick Andre Dillard could take over at left tackle, but that seems to be the less likely option.
“We always talk about next-man-up-mentality, that’s great, but someone as great as Lane - not saying Jack isn’t up to that standard, but the presence of one player can affect the line. Will we be the best ? Not sure, can’t tell you that. Will we give everything we have? One hundred percent. You can expect 200 percent from Jack or me, or whoever’s playing right tackle this week. That’s one thing I know, the player always rises to the standard of Stoutland University.
“A lot of that starts with Stout and his ability to get guys prepared. All these guys are here for a reason, and they wouldn’t be here if they couldn’t play in this league so we’re very confident in all those guys.” “It takes time to adapt and get used to the scheme, but coach Stout does a great job getting us ready, especially the backups, to understand you’re one play away at multiple positions and he does a great job getting us reps at practice, at guard, tackle, right, left,” Driscoll said.
