Dickerson doesn’t talk like most NFL linemen. He speaks with calm wit, equal parts technician and philosopher.
But between whistles, he plays like a storm.

Six-foot-six, 335 pounds, with a center’s brain and a guard’s violence.
He’s the hinge of the Eagles’ identity — the bridge between Jason Kelce’s cerebral legacy and the young, bruising generation rising beside him.

“You build around guys like that,” said offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland. “He’s the heartbeat of what we do. When Landon’s rolling, we’re unstoppable.”

And lately, they’ve been rolling again — literally.

After a rocky September start, the Eagles’ offense has rediscovered its rhythm: 200-yard rushing nights, long, punishing drives, and the kind of trench dominance that defines Philadelphia football.
At the center of that resurgence is Dickerson, the enforcer who believes momentum begins not with speed or schemes — but with contact.

III. The Line Between Control and Chaos

Watch a single drive and you’ll see the paradox of Dickerson’s game: violent yet surgical.
Every punch lands precisely where it should. Every pull block unfolds like a blueprint.

But behind that technical mastery is fury.
“He plays angry, but smart angry,” said right tackle Lane Johnson. “It’s like watching a demolition expert — he blows things up exactly the way he wants to.”

That balance — between chaos and control — is what fuels the Eagles’ “identity runs,” the signature plays that crush hope and clock alike.

Inside zone. Duo. Power sweep.
Nothing fancy — just 1,600 pounds of choreography.

And every time they connect, Dickerson’s words echo through the huddle: That’s how you get things rolling.

IV. What “Rolling” Really Means

In Philadelphia, that phrase has layers.
It’s not just about the push; it’s about momentum, confidence, belief.

Early this season, the Eagles sputtered. Drives stalled. Timing felt off. Critics questioned whether the league had finally cracked the “Tush Push” code.

But Dickerson never wavered.
“Momentum doesn’t start with a big play,” he told reporters later. “It starts with trust. You trust the guy next to you, you move your feet, you finish one block — that’s how it rolls downhill.”

That mindset has spread.
When Hurts sneaks for two yards, when Swift squeezes through a crack, when Kelce calls out a protection before the defense can adjust — all of it ties back to a philosophy built in the trenches.

V. A Line Reborn

The 2025 Eagles offensive line is in transition — one legend departing, another taking the mantle.
Kelce’s retirement looms, and everyone in the room knows the era is shifting.

But Dickerson, now in his prime, has quietly assumed the mantle of leadership.
He’s not the loudest voice — that’s Johnson.
He’s not the flashiest — that’s Jordan Mailata, the Australian giant with a rock-star grin.

Dickerson is the tone-setter.
He’s the one who slams the meeting-room door and tells rookies, “If you don’t love hitting people, you’re in the wrong room.”

His message has never been about dominance for its own sake. It’s about continuity — keeping Philadelphia’s culture intact long after the founding fathers hang up their cleats.

VI. The Art of the Push

To outsiders, the Eagles’ signature quarterback sneak — “The Brotherly Shove” — looks mechanical. Predictable even.
To Dickerson, it’s poetry.

“It’s not just brute strength,” he explained. “It’s timing. Hands. Leverage. We train that like an orchestra.”

Every detail matters:
Kelce’s first step must sync with Hurts’ lean.
Mailata’s drive angle has to hit the defender’s hip, not his chest.
Dickerson’s job is to feel the resistance — to sense when the wall will crack — and ignite it.

When it works, the pile moves like gravity itself.
That motion — that collective surge — embodies everything Dickerson believes about football: the beauty of 11 minds moving as one.

VII. Inside the Locker Room

Teammates call him “The Engine.”

“Because he never stops humming,” said running back D’Andre Swift. “Even on the sideline, he’s talking about pad levels and hand fits. He’s obsessed.”

Hurts echoes the sentiment.
“You can feel Landon,” Hurts said. “You hear him before the snap — he’s the guy yelling ‘Let’s roll!’ and you know he means it.”

But what sets Dickerson apart isn’t volume; it’s conviction.
“He doesn’t need to be a rah-rah guy,” said Mailata. “When he says something, you believe it. He’s earned that voice.”

VIII. The Stoutland Standard

No story about an Eagles lineman is complete without Jeff Stoutland, the legendary offensive line coach whose gravel voice and perfectionism are NFL folklore.

He’s coached Pro Bowlers, All-Pros, future Hall of Famers.
But ask him about Dickerson, and his tone softens.

“Landon’s got that thing,” Stoutland said. “You can’t coach it — that inner fire, that understanding that every block tells the truth about you.”

The “Stoutland Standard,” as players call it, isn’t just about execution. It’s about intent.
Effort isn’t optional. Details are sacred.
Dickerson, who played under Nick Saban at Alabama before joining the Eagles, fit seamlessly into that creed.

“He’s a Stoutland disciple now,” said Kelce with a grin. “You can tell by the way he yells at refs under his breath.”

IX. The Lineage

Every great Eagles line carries ghosts.

From the days of Jon Runyan and Tra Thomas, through Kelce and Johnson, the blueprint has been the same:
Toughness. Accountability. No shortcuts.

Dickerson studied those men. He absorbed their habits.

“Before I even got drafted, I watched film of those old Eagles lines,” he said. “They looked like they were fighting for a city, not a paycheck.”

Now he’s the bridge between generations.
Kelce calls him “the future of the room.”
Johnson calls him “the hammer.”

For a franchise built on trench warfare, that torch means everything.
