Jalen Hurts’ simple response to A.J. Brown’s latest cryptic social media post says more than we think
Jalen Hurts has better things to do with his time than monitor AJ Brown’s social media.
A.J. Brown enters Week 8 fresh off an impressive outing in the Philadelphia Eagles’ recent victory over the Minnesota Vikings, when he hauled in four receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns. His performance was a great reminder to everyone why he’s considered one of the league’s best and Philly’s top receiver.
Despite the strong showing, Brown didn’t seem entirely satisfied. He took social media once again, this time choosing Instagram instead of Twitter, to share another cryptic message, leaving fans wondering what might still be bothering him even after such a dominant game.
“Using me, but not using me,” Brown wrote on Instagram with a picture of himself from Philly’s win over Minnesota.
Jalen Hurts reacts to A.J. Brown’s latest social media post
During this week’s media availability, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was asked if he ever sees Brown’s posts and whether he’s confused by them.
“Yeah, in prep,” Hurts said with a smile while appearing to point toward the Eagles’ PR team. “I just keep my focus singularly on the collective.”
While Hurts said very little, he still said a lot that could come off as alarming.
Hurts’ comments clarified that he is not scrolling social media looking for Brown’s next cryptic message; instead, he’s focused on winning. That is the kind of mindset Brown should have, too. Regardless of whether he is still upset with Hurts and Kevin Patullo’s offensive decisions, his emotions have to stay behind the scenes.
It is easy for one to overlook just one social media post, but Brown has done this time and time again, dating back to his days with the Tennessee Titans when he wanted to be traded.
It’s time for the two of them to meet about that, especially if they want to keep their ultimate team goal of sustained success.
