At the forefront of this negativity has been wideout A.J. Brown, the Eagles' talented yet disgruntled receiver who hasn't been shy about voicing his frustration with his and the offense's underwhelming production through 10 games.
The Eagles improved to 8-2 with a Week 11 win over the Lions but A.J. Brown remains unhappy with his role in the team's offense.
Brown was asked Thursday about speculation he’s no longer the same elite player — and his blunt response suggested he’s not in the mood for that narrative.
The reporter then clarified he was asking from a skillset perspective. Brown responded that the only receiver he watches in that regard is retired wideout Julio Jones, who he has long called one of his idols and the reason he wears the No. 11.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie didn’t address receiver A.J. Brown’s social media complaints behind closed doors. Lurie and the disgruntled veteran had a 10-minute meeting on the field during Thursday’s practice to work through Brown’s public frustration over his role in Philadelphia’s offense, a senior team official told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio.
On Thursday, receiver A.J. Brown met with reporters. And one of them asked him a fairly loaded question. “There’s been speculation out there that you are not the player you once were,” the reporter said.
