The Eagles misplaced in an unsightly sport to the Giants Thursday night time and afterward, extensive receiver A.J. Brown was requested a couple of assembly between himself, Jalen Hurts, and Saquon Barkley earlier within the week — a gathering extensively reported on and even briefly addressed by the opposite two guys. Brown coyly replied that he didn’t recall such a gathering, and media and fan hypothesis ran wild for the following 13 hours.
The WR didn’t wait every week this time earlier than clearing the air, and tweeted out Friday afternoon that their dialog wasn’t as mirrored within the query.
The issue with Brown’s clarification, is that it doesn’t actually associate with what was initially reported or already commented on by each Barkley and Hurts.
The preliminary report by Jimmy Kempski mentioned that the three Eagles gamers had a optimistic dialog that “lasted a pair hours.” Barkley was requested the following day whether or not the report was correct, and he acknowledged that, “Yeah, we had a dialog,” however didn’t need to get an excessive amount of into it.
BARKLEY: “I felt like that dialog is supposed to remain between us, however the focus was all in regards to the crew. I feel it was a great factor.”
Hurts was additionally requested about it on Wednesday, and briefly touched on what they spoke about.
HURTS: “It’s simply us speaking in regards to the collective, speaking about taking possession for what we are able to, and speaking about how we transfer ahead as a crew so we proceed to seek out methods to win video games.”
Hurts didn’t need to make their dialog a storyline on a brief week, so he didn’t need to elaborate extra, merely noting that it was simply teammates being teammates.
The dialog that Barkley and Hurts are referring to doesn’t sound like the identical informal chat Brown recollects having on the way in which to his automobile. At this level, the main points of whichever dialog don’t actually matter, and the truth that the three aren’t having common significant conversations when the offense is struggling a lot most likely says extra in regards to the standing of the group greater than the rest.
