Stacy Andrews will be playing backup to MJG.
Coach Reid has announced today, and Stacy has confirmed, that Stacy Andrews will not be the starting right guard this Sunday when the Eagles play the Saints. Apparently Stacy is not comfortable with the system yet, and the coaches feel as though a rotation with Stacy and Max Jean-Gilles will yield the best results.
It's not a surprise that Stacy doesn't have a firm grasp on the offense yet as he missed a good portion of training camp because he was still rehabbing from a torn ACL last season.
The Eagles were actually doing this last week, but with Nick Cole and Jean-Gilles before Jean-Gilles got hurt and had to go to the locker room. It's unclear whether or not Jean-Gilles and Cole will be playing left and right guard in a rotation, or if it was only be Andrews and Jean-Gilles rotating at right guard.
While it's not a surprise, it is a huge disappointment. The Eagles invested a lot of money to bring Stacy to Philadelphia, and the fact that he has not picked up the offense completely cannot have them very happy.
If Stacy doesn't pick up the offense soon, it wouldn't be a surprise for a frustrated Reid to just bench him entirely until he gets it.
