Eagles' A.J. Brown throws shade at Saquon Barkley out loud but also silently shows frustration with coaching staff in latest comments to media

The Philadelphia Eagles should be flying high at the top of a struggling NFC East. Instead, murmurs continue about the ineffectiveness of the offense on a near weekly basis and the unrestful comments from wide receiver A.J. Brown. The wideout isn't afraid to speak his mind to the media, and he did that once again this week. That captured headlines in more ways than one.

A.J. Brown calls out Saquon Barkley's production when asked about his own performance this season

When asked about not being the "same player" this season, the Eagles wideout did not hold back. Instead, he blatantly mentioned his star teammate, running back Saquon Barkley, who is not having the historically impressive statistical season that he had last year.

While I understand Brown's premise, it just feels like an unnecessary comment regarding Barkley. No, he isn't performing as well as he did last season, but factors like offensive line injuries and a scheme change have both altered the RB's outlook. You can also mention those aspects as to why Brown isn't producing at the level people have come to expect from him, either.
