Former Eagles RB just added fuel to blazing fire with Jeff Stoutland's comments

Former Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland's recent comments about the 2025 offense struggling with play-calling and execution have sparked a lot of conversation about whether they interpreted it as him throwing Kevin Patullo under the bus. There might be more to it than just that, according to one former player.

Recently retired Eagles running back Boston Scott jumped into the conversation on social media, where he shared a very cryptic post on X. Scott's comment might hint that the finger is being pointed at someone else.

"25’
23’
Half of 21’"

Did Scott just throw someone else under the bus himself?

That comment certainly led people to think Scott was talking about Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, since he was the play-caller on offense for half of Sirianni's first season as head coach in 2021. The other two years were internal promotions with first-time play callers with Brian Johnson in 2023 and Patullo in 2025.

Eagles writer Anthony DiBona fired back his own post about Scott's comment, as he didn't take what he said too well.

"Anyone else tired of former Eagles players sending subliminal messages on social media? Either say what you want to say or don’t. Maybe I’m crazy but it’s just tiresome."

That prompted Scott to jump back into the conversation, defending some of his former teammates and coaches who have taken the blame for the Eagles' offense's struggles in recent years.

"I’m sorry for inconveniencing you. It’s a team game, but it makes me feel some type of way that Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, Kevin Patullo, and Brian Johnson get some of the criticism they do."

DiBona replied with a post that called Scott out on cryptically posting about Sirianni after the head coach never said anything bad about him. Scott finished the conversation by clarifying his feelings about his former head coach.

"Outside perceptions of how I move or what I say mean nothing to me. Nick is a players coach and I will always respect that!"

There's a lot to unpack in the situation, but let's just say Sirianni is a great head coach who has done a lot to help the Eagles win games over the years. He has misfired on the decision of who is the offensive play caller multiple times, which is not a good thing, but the team has gone through changes to that job pretty much every single season.

If Scott is implying that Sirianni deserves blame for that, sure, that's a fair assessment. That shouldn't be interpreted as entirely negative. Sirianni deserves all the blame, but he should have some responsibility for it; the same way that Hurts, Brown, Patullo, and Johnson deserve their fair share of the blame, but not all of it.

Football is a team sport, so everyone needs to share in the blame, not just one person. Sean Mannion is taking the reins as offensive coordinator for the Eagles in 2026, so let's just hope it works better than those of the past.
