Overview
- Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports multiple offensive players are frustrated with Jalen Hurts’ approach, citing hesitancy against zone looks and a reliance on checkdowns or scrambles as Philadelphia ranks near the bottom in pass attempts.
- A.J. Brown called the season a “s--- show” on a Twitch stream and later refused to apologize, and he enters Week 11 with 31 catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns through nine games.
- Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts publicly tried to minimize the distraction, with Sirianni saying Brown remains a significant part of the game plan and Hurts emphasizing team focus.
- Film review and NextGen data show Brown’s separation, yards after catch, and target efficiency are down this year, even as DeVonta Smith’s metrics trend up.
- The Eagles listened to trade interest in Brown before the Nov. 4 deadline but kept him, and separate reporting notes speculative league chatter linking Brian Daboll as a possible future coordinator if changes are pursued.
