00:00But ultimately, if you're up 17-3, you should bury a team.

00:04And the Eagles had a chance to bury the team.

00:06A 60-yard would-be touchdown that initially looked like Jalen Hurts overthrew A.J. Brown.

00:12And then the other angle comes out.

00:14A.J. Brown stopped running.

00:16A.J. Brown is one of the biggest problems the Eagles have right now

00:20and a significantly bigger problem than Jalen Hurts.

00:23A.J. Brown won't stop complaining loudly and outwardly despite wins.

00:33He won't stop complaining loudly and outwardly despite targets.

00:40And he won't now stop complaining in the middle of plays

00:45because he thought, not coming my way, this guy can't hit me.

00:49So he stops running.

00:50Meanwhile, 10 more yards, there's the 60 yards you care about,

00:55there's the touchdown you care about, and there's a 5-0 start to the season.

00:59It's unbelievable.

01:00No, but Joe.

01:01It is.

01:02No, but here's the thing, man.

01:03Because I've never seen anything like this.

01:05You've been covering this league a long time.

01:07The Diva wide receiver is something that everybody talks about,

01:11but usually the same way.

01:13What a problem.

01:14What a problem.

01:15What a problem.

01:16What a problem.

01:17Odell went on a boat.

01:19Eli's throwing picks.

01:21Odell's fault.

01:21Why was he on that boat?

01:23Despite the fact that Odell saved Eli's career.

01:26Randy Marsh.

01:28Legend, legend.

01:29Oh, but he pulled his pants down.

01:30Can we kick the Vikings out of the league?

01:32A.J. Brown is the first Diva wide receiver to complain,

01:36and people go, I got to be honest, I already won a Super Bowl.

01:38If I'm him, it's all about the haul.

01:39Get the gold jacket.

01:40Put him on.

01:40Put him on a Tennessee Titans or the New England Patriots.

01:43He'd be better off.

01:44Oh, interesting.

01:45Interesting how that works.

01:46But you now have a guy who is so in his head because it's not going exactly how he wants.

01:55By the way, those slant routes, one of the reasons they're not working is he's not open.

02:00We don't talk much about that.

02:03He's so in his head, Joe, that it is now impacting him finishing plays.

02:09And that, to me, is a much bigger problem than anything else going on with this Philly football team.

02:18Because if you are not on the same page, if you are not one-tracked mind towards what is supposed to be the ultimate goal,

02:24then you are going to have games like this where you're up 14 and you're throwing on second and six to go out there

02:32and try and give this guy the touches he won't stop complaining about.

02:38I know.

02:38And Saquon Barkley had six carries for 30 yards.

02:41The best play A.J. made was the defense on Devonta Smith on the Hail Mary.

02:48He's probably upset the ball wasn't coming his way.

02:51It's garbage.

02:52We've got to talk to Sirianni.

02:54Can we get Sirianni in here?

02:56What are we going to do?

02:57I know you're upset.

02:58This fell.

03:00This fell.

03:01He's hot.

03:02He's hot.

03:03There's no eye in team, right?

03:05I think when you think of it.

03:06There's no eye in stats.

03:08Well, there's an eye, and I quit on the route.

03:11Well, he did quit.

03:13He did.

03:14And you know what?

03:14It's going to be a problem.

03:16But again, Jalen Hurts is a team guy.

03:18Saquon is a team guy.

03:20It's winning football games.

03:21That's the biggest thing.

03:22And when you look at this team right now, they're defending a Super Bowl championship.

03:27They were 4-0.

03:27He's complaining.

03:28He's not making plays.

03:30They targeted him against Tampa Bay.

03:31He wasn't happy.

03:32He wasn't gaining separation.

03:34And then he quit yesterday.
