Following the Philadelphia Eagles’ 34-17 defeat to the New York Giants, wide receiver A.J. Brown made headlines with his comments about a supposed meeting with quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley. Brown stated, “I don’t recall a meeting,” referencing discussions aimed at resolving the team’s offensive struggles.
A.J. Brown Clarifies His “I Don’t Recall” Comment
Brown’s remarks raised eyebrows, particularly since both Hurts and Barkley previously indicated they had indeed met with Brown to address the offensive issues publicly. In an effort to clarify his statement, Brown took to social media the following day.
Details of Brown’s Clarification
- Brown emphasized that the interaction was not a formal meeting.
- He explained he was passing by when he encountered Hurts and Barkley.
- Brown aimed to dispel rumors of tension among the trio.
“Just to clear this up,” Brown tweeted. “That wasn’t a meeting or a sit-down. I said ‘I don’t recall’ because it got painted like there was tension and Sa had to step in. That’s not true. I was walking to my car, saw them, and stopped to talk. Nothing more.”
Impact on the Eagles’ Offense
Despite the clarification, the Eagles’ offensive production has been subpar compared to previous seasons. Several team members have voiced concerns about the need for improvement. The involvement of key players like Brown, Hurts, and Barkley in discussions highlights the urgency to resolve these issues.
As the season progresses, maintaining clear communication will be vital for the Eagles to enhance their performance and regain their competitive edge.
