I have watched a number of people talking about eccentric protocols for tendenosis. Anyone willing to elaborate or provide some text citations would be greatly appreciated.

The April 2007 issue of British Journal of Sports Medicine has a focus on tendinopathy - diagnosis and treatment. It has articles written by the primary researchers in the field, i.e. Khan, Cook and Alfredson. If you have access to this journal, that would be great starting point. Otherwise a pubmed search using tendinopathy and these authors should get you all of the information you need.
Before Duffy does it, I might as well point out for him that he has a few thorough summaries of articles on this topic (and many others) on his web site, PTupdate.com.

Can't remember specific articles but there were mentions of achilles tendinosis and how eccentric protocols seems to produce significant results.
