Jason Kelce rings alarm on Eagles’ offensive struggles but backs OC’s scheme

The engine of a brand-new sports car is supposed to purr. Instead, after four weeks, the Eagles' offense sounds like it’s knocking. It’s a disorienting sound for a fanbase that expects a smooth ride to the playoffs. They are 4-0, cruising down the NFL highway. But everyone inside the car can feel the vibration.

Eagles legend Jason Kelce officially rang the alarm. He joined the 94WIP Morning Show to dissect the issues. "The offense isn't functioning well right now," Kelce stated. He pinpointed the core problem immediately. "It's hit or miss." He then delivered a stunning comparison for a unit with so much talent. He acknowledged that key players like Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown "haven’t been meaningful parts of it." The diagnosis was in. The undefeated team has a serious illness.

Kelce specifically addressed the Brown social media drama. He understood the frustration but questioned the method. "I wish he probably would have done it in a different way," Kelce said. However, he firmly sided with his former teammate’s intent. He passionately defended Brown's character.

"Having known AJ Brown, the great teammate that he is, I love the guy," Jason added. Ultimately, Kelce believes the solution is simple. Get the ball to your stars. "The Eagles should find a way to involve A.J. Brown," he asserted. Now, the numbers are jarring.

The Eagles rank 30th in yards per game. They are 29th in yards per rushing attempt. This is not the identity of a team with Super Bowl aspirations. It is a complete reversal from their historic 2024 run. The offensive line, a perennial strength, has been a shadow of its former self. Injuries to Lane Johnson and others have disrupted their rhythm. Left tackle Jordan Mailata summed it up perfectly.

"It's as simple as one block away," Mailata said. "Somebody not executing. Those are things we can fix because of the people we have in the room and in the locker room." So, how is this team still perfect?

Their defense and special teams have been clutch. They are winning the turnover battle. Kelce pushed back hard on one proposed fix. "I disagree that being more risky with the football is the way to involve these playmakers more," he argued. He believes they can scheme up touches without forcing dangerous throws. The record proves they are doing something right, even if it's ugly.
