'Somebody has to be the bad guy': Eagles WR A.J. Brown reacts to team's coaching changes

“In this league, somebody has to be the bad guy if something don’t go well. I wasn’t surprised,” Brown said. “Like I said earlier about the OC job, regardless of whoever you put in that position, it comes down to the players executing and making plays. Me personally, I’m not attached to whoever’s in the OC position, because I have a job to do. When my number’s called, I have to answer.”

Johnson lost his job after the Eagles’ playoff exit and was replaced by former Cowboys and Chargers offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Moore’s offenses have put up big numbers, which may be good news for Brown.

Brown was frustrated down the stretch as the offense sputtered, which may be part of the reason he does not seem too upset about these changes.
