#Eagles QB Jalen Hurts addressed the A.J. Brown trade, the ESPN story from April about him, his contract and other topics today:
On the A.J. Brown trade and Brown saying they weren’t as close, but that he wishes him all the best:
“I’m not in the place to challenge anyone’s perspective on anything, seemingly so, it was. That’s where I am. I’ve always been focused on the collective. I’ve always put my energy towards that. As a leader, I’ve always put an onus on giving maximum effort to achieve the shared mission we have on the team.”
Any disappointment with how it ended for A.J. with the Eagles:
“You come into it and you have a sense of pride with how it began, and definitely what we were able to accomplish. … Nothing can take that away. For the great things that we did, now it’s time to focus on achieving great things with this iteration of the team.”
On the ESPN story that characterized Hurts as being resistant to change, among other things:
“I’ve never really asked for an opportunity to respond to anything. So just let it live and go do my job.”:
On if he asked for the “four verticals” last play of the season, as reported in the ESPN story:
“Nah. No.”
On his being resistant to change:
“I’m always open to growth. I’m always open to improving. I think a lot of it is what do we put our time on task? What are we exhausting? What are we repping. And so, I’m looking forward to seeing how training camp goes so we can just continue to build on the foundation that we’re beginning to lay down.”
On his contract and if there is a restructure coming:
“For me, I’m truly focused on being the best I can be right now. That’s where my energy is. There’s a lot of change as is. I’m focused on this offense. I’m focused on building with Sean [Mannion] and being my best.”
Jordan Mailata on A.J. Brown trade: "Yes, we can move on now. I think most of us that have been here the last six weeks, we have moved on, just from, we have enough to worry about. Getting over last year, and then coming in here and learning a new scheme and new concepts, like we had to press on. So that's what we were doing. I think this is more of a — it sounds terrible — but like, thank God it's over. It was a slow pain of just, is he in, is he out? We didn't really know, and that really wasn't our focus as a team, our team, especially on offense. But we got to keep these wheels moving, we got new guys coming in, we got rookies coming in again, we got to build that culture every year."
REGARDLESS of what happens, the fact Joel Embiid is doing what he’s doing tonight is absolutely unbelievable. UNBELIEVABLE. Straight up dominating down low on every single possession JUST 19 DAYS AFTER EMERGENCY SURGERY TO REMOVE HIS APPENDIX. IT NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT MORE.
I honestly cannot stress this enough but please start living & enjoying your life. Your life is passing by daily and all you’re doing is working, paying bills, & overthinking stuff you can't change. Start taking trips and treating yourself. Have fun with this life. You only get 1
