Philadelphia Eagles star AJ Brown isn’t one to shy away from sharing his thoughts, and with the team making a major change at offensive coordinator, he’s giving his honest opinion on the move. Following Kellen Moore’s departure, the Eagles have brought in Kevin Patullo to take over the offensive play-calling duties, and Brown is making it clear where he stands on the hire.
Brown, one of the Eagles’ most vocal leaders, addressed the media about the team’s decision to replace Moore with Patullo, saying that while he believes it’s a great hire, the team must embrace change to keep improving.
“For our fans, they need to understand everything has to change. I know we just won, but it has to change. We have to get better, and we have to do things differently. But I truly feel like it’s a great hire,” Brown stated.
His comments highlight the reality that complacency isn’t an option for a team aiming to stay at the top. While the Eagles have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, Brown emphasized that constant adjustments and improvements are necessary to stay ahead of the competition.
Patullo, who previously served as Philadelphia’s passing game coordinator, is already familiar with the team’s system, players, and overall philosophy. Brown believes that continuity could be a major advantage moving forward.
“He’s already familiar with us. We have a great relationship, and he knows what we need to work on because he’s been there and been there for a while,” Brown said. “And like I said, he’s already been a part of all the situations and the conversations and everything. So, I think it’s a great hire.”
For Brown, having an offensive coordinator who understands the team’s strengths and weaknesses from the inside out could make a significant difference. Unlike an outside hire who would need time to adjust, Patullo has already been involved in shaping the offense, making the transition smoother for players and coaches alike.
Despite the praise for Patullo, Brown made it clear that the Eagles can’t just rely on what worked last season—they need to adapt and evolve.
One of the key areas for improvement could be offensive consistency, as the Eagles struggled with play-calling rhythm and execution in crucial moments last season.
With Patullo stepping in, the hope is that he can implement a more dynamic approach, maximizing the talents of Brown, DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, and Dallas Goedert.
Additionally, Patullo’s experience working closely with head coach Nick Sirianni could lead to a more unified offensive strategy, something that may have been lacking under Moore.
With Patullo now calling the shots, the pressure is on to take the Eagles offense to the next level. Brown’s comments suggest that while he fully supports the move, he also recognizes that success won’t come without effort, discipline, and adjustments.
The 2025 season will be a defining one for Philadelphia, as they look to return to the Super Bowl and establish themselves as a long-term dynasty. With a star-studded roster and new offensive leadership, expectations will be sky-high.
As for Brown, he’s ready to embrace the challenge, and if his confidence in Patullo proves right, the Eagles offense could be one of the most dangerous in the league next season.
