It's all born out of the offhand comment that he
made, uh, on a, while playing video
games on Janky Rondo's Twitch stream, uh, talking
about how fantasy owners should release him, uh,
if they have him, and also that his,
uh, work environment is an S show. So
Hi, hi, uh, AJ Brown's frustrations,
are they warranted? Yeah, I do think they're
warranted, but before we get into kind of showing
the on the field stuff, you know, I
saw coach ears perk up when he said, you
know, not just about winning because we've been conditioned
to think that it's all about winning and it's only
about winning and nothing else matters. You know,
your role or your impact doesn't matter as long as
we win. If you go into the mind of
a competitor, that's not all that matters. They
love the process. They love impacting a game.
You remember when we were over in Europe and we
were talking to Patrick Certean and what did I say
? I said, What's the most frustrating thing?
And he said, When I get no targets,
I'm just doing conditioning. Throw it at me.
Let me have an impact on the game. Competitors
want to have an impact on the game, and
that to me is what AJ Brown just keeps talking
about. It's like, I don't want to just
do conditioning. I don't want to just run sprints
all day long. I want to have an impact
because that to me is what it's all about.
And then we go inside and we say, OK
, is it warranted? I, I do believe
it is warranted because I think the next part of
things is when you watch Jalen Hurts, great quarterback
, obviously, but Super Bowl MVP, like so
many great things. But one thing he struggles with
is working through his progressions. This is Saquan,
and then look at AJ Brown. He's#2 in
the progression. That's probably a walk-in touchdown. Here
we go. We're going to have you look inside
first. Well, that safety squad. there,
get out to your 2 on 1. Look at
AJ Brown down here, wide open down here,
but it's like, I'm just running conditioning here.
Like I want to be more involved and we have
to advance our passing game. Same thing here.
First read is going to be inside, but we
get this coverage. Our one on one is outside
. Get outside to AJ Brown. There's your completion
out there. And so, when you watch it
on film, that's what I believe when you're talking
about on the field part of it. What he's
saying is, I want to be more involved.
I'm out there. I, I, I'm,
I'm here and, and, and as, as
coach said, he's a part of the game plan
. Yeah, he is a part of the game
plan, but we got to get it to him
. He, he's, he's too good of a
player. He can have too big of an impact
, and those are the things I believe he's saying
is, I, I'm out here. I,
I, I can give us opportunities, and he's
just not getting those opportunities. I like what he
said and I like what he said earlier. He
said, I'm about done answering this question because it
is becoming a distraction, OK. I agree with
most everything that you said because he is a competitor
. This is a Super Bowl team that's got a
chance to win another Super Bowl. It's a run
team first. That's the kind of the offense you
play on. AJ, and you got a running
quarterback with Saquan and that guy, so you're not
going to get a lot of balls, you know
, he's got 51 yards receiving per game. It
is a career low. I understand the frustration because
he's a$32 million receiver and he's really good,
OK, and they all want to contribute. It's
like the kid in Little League. Hit it to
me, hit it to me. I'll get this
guy out, and he wants to contribute. And
whether they're winning or not, and there's a little
, you know, I, I, I can
I, can I just interject something really fast?
The person who's not on the screen is the one
who's gonna maybe get them to the Super Bowl again
, and it's 26, right? They have,
they, they gotta run the football. They've got
to get back to doing that, and then everything
else maybe will take care of themselves. And the
guy on the right has 55 wins as a coach
. If they keep winning. It's like, it's
almost like they're oxygen. The all of these conversations
and all, yeah, clearly they'd probably rather not
have it, but they work within it. They
do really they have, you're saying you're not gonna
ask us this question anymore? Absolutely not. NFL
Network started with TO doing sit-ups on his front lawn
. I mean, I feel like we're just,
it's just the different names and you're talking about what's
going on in Philadelphia. Except that team never won
the Super Bowl. This team just did. They
do, you know what I mean? Like it's
so who knows what it will eventually mean. Tonight
is such a massive game, uh, and we're
all taking the Lions. Look at that. Nobody's
taking the Eagles tonight. I don't know. Sam
LaPorta is not gonna play. I might change my
pick. I'm not show it. Do it.
You gotta do it now. Stay tuned. We'll
see if we do it later on.
