Stephen Tulloch Should Be the Backup, Not a Starter

According to multiple reports, the Eagles have signed LB Stephen Tulloch. It is a move many were pondering or anticipating even before rookie backup MLB Joe Walker was lost for the season due to an ACL tear.

As for Tulloch, the thinking behind the reasoning that he hadn’t signed anywhere yet is because he wants to be a starter. If true, he must have been just biding his time waiting for an injury to get that chance.

Plus, he obviously has the Jim Schwartz connection so it’s possible he preferred rejoining his former coach and play in a defense he is already familiar with.
