Anytime a player goes public and describes an aspect of his team as a “s--- show,” you’ve got a story. When the person saying it is a star whose happiness has been in question all season long, you’ve got a major headline. Such is where the Eagles and A.J. Brown landed this week. As much as Brown, his teammates, and coaches downplayed the shock value of his remarks, to think that everything is “business as usual” with the Eagles would be misguided. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane shares what he’s been hearing and what he knows about Brown, the receiver’s role this year, and how the Eagles, collectively, can get him on track in the second half of the season.
