Those things that dissected on film during practice, those things that talked about among the quarterback coach, the offensive coordinator, the head coach.

It has been constantly discussed all season long, yet when they transition to the field on a football game, he plays his game.

Not the game the coaches want him to play. He plays his game.

I don't think you can get him out of that mode at this particular point.

I think is what we're going to have to watch all season long is him playing his game.

That's Derek Gunn, who has been covering the Eagles for a very long time, knows the team as well as anyone.

And that is the one thing that has been lost in all of the conversation, all of the chatter, the AJ Brown frustration.

I think he danced around the edges of it last week when he was saying at his locker,

we need to improve an offense, and it isn't enough to just win football games.

That's a band-aid.

We need to be improving.

Is there a disconnect between what the Eagles are trying to do offensively and what Jalen Hertz ultimately does when he has the ultimate discretion of the ball in his hands.

You can say whatever you want to the quarterback, but once the play starts and the ball's in

your hands, you're in charge of that football and you determine where the ball is going to go

and what's going to happen on that play. And they're in a damn thing they can do about it other than remove you from the game. Yeah, it's a tough thing, right? It is a tough thing. Philadelphia and that offense, right? I mean, I think if you had free agent receivers out there right now, I think a lot of them will go, I wouldn't want to go to Philadelphia.

I don't want to go play there. I mean, man, I'll never get the ball. You know, it's a little bit like what we used to hear with the, like maybe Lamar Jackson early on in his career, right? It was that type of thing. So, yeah, there's a little bit of that. You've heard me say this.

I mean, you've heard me say it a lot, right?

I don't want to beat a dead, beat down a dead horse here a little bit.

But yes, I mean, you've heard me say it a lot, right? I don't want to beat a dead

beat down a dead horse here a little bit. But yes, I mean, he, he, the potential of that

offense and what is, it doesn't get, it doesn't reach its potential. That's the problem. And

the number one problem with why it doesn't reach the potential is the quarterback.
