AJ Brown Expresses Frustration with Eagles: ‘It’s a S–tshow’
A.J. Brown, wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, has expressed his frustration regarding his limited involvement in the team’s offense this season. During a live stream of the popular video game “Madden” with YouTube personality Janky Rondo, Brown candidly shared his struggles. He humorously acknowledged that things have not been going well for him, stating, “It’s a s–tshow.”
A.J. Brown’s Season Struggles
At 28 years old, Brown is experiencing an unusually quiet season with the Eagles. Currently, he has recorded only 408 receiving yards and three touchdowns over eight games. This performance puts him on track for his lowest single-season yardage since joining the NFL. Previously, Brown had impressive statistics, achieving three consecutive seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards and at least seven touchdowns each year.
Recent Game Performance
In the Eagles’ recent 10-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers, Brown had a disappointing performance with only two receptions for 13 yards. Reports indicate that he and quarterback Jalen Hurts made an impromptu decision during a crucial fourth-down attempt late in the game, leading to a failed play. Hurts attempted to connect with Brown on a fourth-and-6 from the Green Bay 35-yard line, but the Packers successfully defended against the pass.
Upcoming Challenges
The Eagles currently hold a 7-2 record, tying them for the best in the NFC. In an effort to improve his performance, Brown expressed optimism during his video game session, stating, “Good things happen when you get touches.” He later reflected that the only highlight of his season has been excelling in the game, where he showcased an impressive nine catches for 168 yards and two touchdowns.
Coach’s Support
As the Eagles gear up for a pivotal matchup against the Detroit Lions, head coach Nick Sirianni responded to concerns about Brown’s current role in the offense. He emphasized that Brown remains a crucial part of their game strategy and praised his work ethic. Sirianni stated, “He’s working like crazy when he’s here, and we’re excited to have him.”
Advice for Fantasy Football Players
With the season progressing, Brown publicly advised fantasy football players to consider removing him from their lineups. He said bluntly, “If you got me on fantasy, man, get rid of me.” This statement reflects his current struggles and the urgency for improvement as the playoffs approach.
