We.know! We know! We said we were done, but just when we thought we were out, they sucked us back in. This week's NFL slate is highlighted by a monster matchup featuring pro football's two franchises from Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game has taken a backseat to 'you know what'.
Honestly, the A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts thing has long been placed on the list of Eagles-related topics that we're sick of discussing. The only recent debate we've hated covering more was whether or not the Brotherly Shove should be illegal.
But, here we are, giving the majority of the public what it keeps asking us for... What's the latest on the Eagles locker-room tension? We'd say we're glad you asked, but it's hard to state that honestly.
Eagles news: Watch A.J. Brown's full conversation with the Philly media on Tuesday.
After enjoying their days off on Tuesday, Eagles players returned to the NovaCare Complex on Wednesday for practice. As you might expect, when the locker room was open for media members, many found their way over to A.J. Brown and to the podium when allowed access toJalen Hurts. .
Here's how that turned out:
94 WIP-FM's Eliot Shorr-Parks shared the full seven-minute chat with A.J. Brown.
You know this isn't over, right? The conversation now will revolve around whether or not A,J, was sincere or if he's telling the truth, but we agree with Jordan Mailata. We'd rather be discussing the PIttsburgh Steelers.
That being said, let's end this on a high note.
More Eagles news: Dan Orlovsky advises Eagles fans to relax.
These days, ESPN isn't what we'd refer to as required viewing for Birds fans in the Delaware Valley or anywhere else. Occasionally, however, you can find some content where we aren't getting the same old takes or hearing guys scream at us in the morning.
Here's something you might find interesting.
Personally, we'd like to see Jalen anticipate a tad better and take a few risks. You can't argue with the results though.
The Eagles are winning, but for a run-first team that asks A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to accept fewer targets, you have to get the ball to these guys when the opportunities are there. Seeing this offense land in the bottom third of the league in passing is unacceptable. That has to get better.
