AJ: “I want to win, If we’re focused on winning, we can’t keep slapping a bandaid on and just hope the defense does its job. At what point does the offense pick up the slack…We need to adapt and be better, that’s where my frustration comes from”

  1. See just say this from the jump then instead of the cryptic shit. This is real leadership and he’s right about it. But maybe do this to start

  2. This is the type of competitiveness and honesty I can respect and think is admirable.

    I can’t stand the “drop me from your fantasy team” shit tho. Be a leader or don’t be a leader. You can’t play both sides.

  5. He’s absolutely correct about the offense we saw this week not being effective in the playoffs. Teams like the Rams, Bucs, Lions, etc all have the ability to get hot and score a ton. You can’t assume you’ll win games like that when your OC is unable to scheme guys open

  6. And he’s absolutely right. Y’all don’t like it but I hope he continues to raise a stink every time this offense looks as anemic as it did on Monday. It’s infuriating to watch and just hoping our defense saves the day when we go 3 and out.

  7. Lol emphasizes multiple times in the clip that they can’t just be happy because they won, when the offense sucks every week. And he’s damn right, because we saw issues in 2023 squeaking out wins (and those were vs good opponents too), before it all came crashing down *fast*

    I’m not a fan of the way he’s going on about it bc it just creates more drama and noise, but the usual generic “hey everything will be fine, we’ll figure it out” would be worse. It says a lot when you’ve got public lashing and pressure like this, and the offense still looks dogshit as ever

  9. Sucks that the full interview wasn’t posted but before questions start, he smiles and head nods to the side to a teammate. Think his teammates fuck with him and his opinion hard, he’s just the one big enough to say something

  13. See I want him to say this shit, not the twitter posts or whatever, say what you want to say and own it. Because you talking facts and they cant turn this around on you to make you the bad guy.

  14. I feel this a product of first year OC’s, we gotta do veteran OC’s from now on, say for example if a fired HC like Daboll who developed Josh Allen was available I’d take him.

  17. Nuttin wrong with what he said. Stop trying to hang this mfer as a problem! He’s a solid teammate, that doesn’t deserve this level of scrutiny. Let the man breathe or else he gonna lash out. That’s what the media wants

  21. This team is straight up the personification of Eye of the Tiger

    I love how honest AJ Brown is right here, even while he is winning. Team is never complacent, nothing is ever good enough and that is the heart of a champion

    Strap in gang, we are in for a ride

  23. I honestly like that he’s making a big stink out of it. Im sure he’s already tried to have those private convos with the coaches and yet he’s still being targeted 2-3 times a game. Complain to the public, get the media talking and force the coaches to start fixing the game plan because we are not playing at a consistent offensive level to win another Super Bowl

  26. AJ spoke truth. Just wants the offense as a whole to contribute and be the best they can be and not need to be bailed out on defense, knowing it’s not sustainable. He was even quick to defend Hurts. I don’t know how anyone can continue to bad-mouth him after this.

  27. He’s been saying this since forever. The defense pulls more than its own weight and it will take a toll down the stretch. The offense is flat out pathetic and will hurt the team when the playoffs come.

  30. I just want to say that the reporter asked him a direct question about Hurts not getting him the ball and he took the opportunity to defend Jalen. He basically said you can’t look at still images and determine what should have happened, that there are reads that Jalen has to go through and progressions and he also has to navigate the pass rush.

    He absolutely could have said “that’s a question for him” (which he eventually did) and kept it moving. But he took a question that was leading towards a negative response and gave a positive one (as far as Jalen is concerned) instead. But I bet that won’t be the headline.

  31. He is 100% right here. Dude is literally speaking like a fan of the team. We cannot hope to win in January with a historically bad 3 and out rate that keeps putting our defense in bad positions.

    Sure, maybe he should always be mindful about his phrasing and only speak like he does in this clip, but maybe it’s a guy who is just trying any way he can to bring attention to the problem and hold the coaches responsible. Clearly “keeping it in house” isn’t working if the house is just an echo chamber of “hey a win’s a win!”

    If we went one and done in Jan he would kick himself for not doing everything in his power to change things when he could. And that includes speaking out when that’s what you feel is your only option.

  33. He’s not wrong at all, but he needs to keep it inside the building and speak up to his coaches and teammates instead when they are game planning. Speak up about the weaknesses and how to fix it. How he’s going about it is wrong.

  35. I don’t care how many times I have to say it. I. Love. AJ. Brown. He’s been right the whole time. We’re not gonna win a title with an offense that’s not doing its job. That’s going to get unmasked this Sunday if we don’t stop turtlng up.

  36. I loved AJ this whole time, I didn’t think I could love him anymore than I do now. Hurts has said things, Lane said things, Smitty. Please make a change
