AJ Brown is rumored to be frustrated, kudos to Philly’s secret weapon

Before another word is spoken or typed, we say the following. AJ Brown is him. Do people still say that? Well, whether they do or not, here’s the point. You will never hear a complaint on this platform because Batman wants the ball.

Trust us!

Other than that, we have seen discussions here and there. How might he respond to a drop in production if he no longer gets the ball as often?

You know what they say. If the team wins, everything is fine, but one can certainly ask whether “11” stumbles because the ball doesn’t come his way so often.

Now, like I said, we’re AJ Brown fans, but that doesn’t mean he’s off limits. We wanted to ignore it, but it got on the radio. So, here we are.

AJ is no stranger to quoting tweets, using social media as a sounding board, or deleting posts after changing his mind.

Long story short: An Eagles fan came forward and stated, among other things, that he needed to turn Philly’s star wideout into a “demon” like we’ve seen him in the past. AJ quoted that post and added a line that essentially said, “He could only do so much.”

We paraphrase.

Again, this is one of those things that can be exaggerated, but it seems like it’s worth mentioning because there have been rumors and questions about possible frustrations.

Here we stand. AJ never stopped being that “demon.” We don’t like the choice of words, but you get what we’re saying. He’s a beast, but the Eagles are currently averaging the fewest pass attempts per game this season (25.6).

Neither team let the ball run anymore. No other team has a higher rushing yards per game average (189). This obviously affects AJ’s production, but that’s no small thing either.

Honestly, we want one of our best wide receivers to want the ball. Hey, maybe if he were targeted early and often that would end the slow offensive starts.

We haven’t talked enough about how good Braden Mann was in the win over the Baltimore Ravens. He’s really good.

Hell, we all know exactly what a bad player looks like. Mann was a welcome addition and a revelation.

On Sunday, he helped Philly flip field position a few times. He launched six punts. He averaged 51.2 yards per boot. He dropped five inside the 20-yard line and likely would have dropped all six inside the Ravens’ 20-yard line had it not been for a Kelee Ringo penalty.

For his efforts, he was named the NFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in Week 13.

One of our worst memories of the Nick Sirianni coaching era was a punt during a Super Bowl. Yes, you remember that. We repeat. Braden Mann was a welcome addition and a revelation.
