There were a lot of questions surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles heading into the 2024 NFL season.
Nick Sirianni was on the hot seat heading into the year after losing in the Wild Card round in 2023, with many wondering if he’d be their coach for much longer.
Jason Kelce’s departure from the offensive line was also noted, as he is said to be one of the best centers of all time.
The Eagles’ offensive line has been one of their best attributes over the past several years, and their “Tush Push” with Jalen Hurts became so good that fans and owners wanted to try and get the play outlawed.
They’ve still been successful, even without Kelce, causing analyst Ross Tucker to make a bold statement in a recent appearance on Chris Long’s “Green Light” podcast.
“They’re probably the most physically gifted offensive line of all time,” Tucker said.

Ranking offensive lines can be difficult, especially since they don’t have the same kind of stats that skill-position players or defenders have.
However, it is easy to see how effective a team’s running and passing games are, as a lot of that is attributed to the strength of an offensive line.
Jalen Hurts has had a great season on the ground, as has Saquon Barkley.
Hurts isn’t necessarily having a banner year as a passer, but he’s had plenty of time in the pocket, another testament to the strength of the offensive line.
They’ll be faced with a tough test against the Washington Commanders this weekend, putting Tucker’s theory to work.
