Nick Sirianni Nearly Concludes A.J. Brown Questioning

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing challenges in effectively utilizing A.J. Brown, a key player in their offense. Despite his talent, Brown’s involvement in plays has not met expectations, prompting ongoing discussions about his performance.

A.J. Brown’s Usage and Recent Comments

On Monday night, A.J. Brown received only two targets during the game. This underutilization sparked concern, especially after a critical fourth-down decision by Head Coach Nick Sirianni. With the Eagles leading by three points, the decision to attempt a deep pass to Brown from the Green Bay 35 ultimately failed when the pass was underthrown.

Coach Sirianni Addresses the Media

Post-game, Sirianni noted that the plan was to finish the match with a touchdown, suggesting he believes in Brown’s potential. He stated, “He’s working hard and he is a big part of this game plan and will be a big part of the game plan going forward.”

Brown’s Reactions

Brown expressed frustration during a Twitch stream on Tuesday night, telling fans, “If you got me on fantasy, man, get rid of me.” This comment highlights his dissatisfaction with his current role. When questioned about Brown’s remarks in a Wednesday press conference, Sirianni indicated he is nearing the end of such inquiries but acknowledged Brown’s hard work.

Statistics and Season Performance

• Total Games Played: 8
• Catches: 31
• Receiving Yards: 408
• Touchdowns: 3
• Week 7 Performance: 4 catches for 121 yards, and 2 touchdowns

The limited targets during games—such as the only three he received on Monday, marking his second-lowest of the season—illustrate a troubling trend. Brown is a talented receiver who thrives in single coverage. The Eagles must leverage his skills more effectively to maximize their offensive potential.

Looking Ahead

As the team prepares for an upcoming match against the Lions on Sunday night, the question remains: Why aren’t they utilizing A.J. Brown more often? Until his talents are fully recognized, discussions regarding his performance will endure.
