A.J. Brown Downplays Frustration, Defends Kevin Patullo
In a surprise twist, Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown appeared on popular podcast "The Edge With Micah Parsons" alongside Panthers quarterback Bryce Young to discuss his future with the team and offer some insight into his relationship with former offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.
When asked if he's excited about the new offense, Brown responded by saying that change can be a good thing, but added that he has immense respect for Patullo and considers him to have done a tremendous job. This comes as a surprise, given Brown's past comments criticizing the Eagles' passing offense, which some interpreted as signs of frustration with the team.
However, when asked about his relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts, who had previously stated that they were in a "great place," Brown didn't address the issue directly. Instead, he expressed optimism for the upcoming season and credited the team's leadership for its success.
One question did spark some controversy, however. Parsons asked if Brown thought the Eagles could have made it to the Super Bowl with their current roster, leading to an interesting response from Brown. He acknowledged that things don't always go as planned in football and encouraged a growth mindset.
But perhaps the most surprising revelation came when Parsons was asked about his past attempts to join the Eagles. The linebacker revealed that he was indeed very close to joining the team before ultimately being traded to the Packers, citing Jalen Carter as the reason for not wanting to play with him.
Brown's comments on Patullo and the new offense have left some interpreting his future with the Eagles in a more positive light, but it remains to be seen if his words will translate into action.

And now he's downplaying his frustration and defending Patullo? It feels like a 180-degree turn. 
I need to see some real evidence of this change in attitude before I believe it. Sources, please! 
gotta respect him 4 that
so he's saying all this nice stuff about Kevin Patullo and then he gets asked about Jalen Hurts and just... nothing 
like he's hiding something from us, but maybe it's for the best? I mean who wants to be on a team with someone you're not exactly BFFs with? 
brown's comments are pretty interesting though - maybe he's trying to make peace before leaving? 
and btw did Bryce Young just become the Eagles' QB coach by proxy or what?! 
. He used to trash the old OC but now he's talking about how much respect he has for Patullo 
. And honestly, who knows what would've happened if he joined the Eagles earlier? Maybe they wouldn't have had the same roster chemistry as they do now 
] Like, dude just tried to smooth things over and now everyone's all "Wait, what's going on?!" 
it'll be interesting to see how things play out over the next few weeks. maybe patullo's departure is an opportunity for brown to get more involved and really make his mark on the team? 
It's like he's shifting gears to focus on the team's leadership and growth mindset, you know? But let's be real, some people are still gonna wonder if his comments about Patullo are just a strategic move to smooth things over before he makes any big changes. Like, is he trying to signal that he's on board with the new offense, or was it just a kind gesture towards a guy who did a great job? 
The Eagles' leadership is definitely looking like they're on top of things, but how will this all play out with Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown on the same team? 
. It's easy to say now that things don't always go as planned, but we need to see some concrete changes on the field before I believe any of this 
. Only time will tell if his words are more than just PR spin 
. And let's be real, we all know how that whole Jalen Hurts thing went down last season 
. I'm still on team A.J., though! 
anyway its super cool to see him be optimistic about the new offense and credits the team leadership for their success. and omg can we talk about micah parsons for a sec?!
