Eagles’ Star WRs Voice Frustration as 4-0 Team Seeks Offensive Fix vs. Broncos

Smith publicly backed Brown’s concern over usage, signaling pressure on coaches to better unlock the passing game.

Overview

  • The Eagles are unbeaten but rank 30th in total offense at roughly 251.5 yards per game and second-worst in passing at about 138 yards.
  • A.J. Brown posted and deleted a cryptic message about not being heard, and DeVonta Smith said he feels the same and wants the offense to be better.
  • Smith pointed to constraints from play calls and coverages, noting, “The play calls we’re getting are the play calls,” as frustration centers on design rather than effort.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni said coaches must help get the ball to playmakers, with first-year coordinator Kevin Patullo under scrutiny as defenses drop and roll coverage.
  • Through four games, Brown has 14 catches for 151 yards and one touchdown while Smith has 17 for 158 and one score, with Week 5 vs. Denver framed as a chance to recalibrate against a top-10 pass defense.
