Less than three hours after Brandon Graham added gas to the fireplace concerning the connection between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown, the Philadelphia Eagles captain backtracked on these feedback. Graham took again what he stated to SportsRadio WIP earlier within the night and stated to ESPN that he’ll apologize to Hurts and Brown personally.
“I simply assumed [about their friendship] and it made me out to look even worse as a result of I had all of it improper and now individuals are going to run with that half,” Graham stated. “I actually simply need to win, man, and I would like brothers to have the ability to simply hash it out. I’m going to ensure I apologize to each of them.”
Graham insinuated earlier Monday that Hurts and Brown weren’t pals anymore, which is fascinating on condition that Hurts is the godfather of Brown’s daughter. Brown was annoyed over the Eagles’ passing recreation after they defeated the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, however issues could have been deeper than Hurts’ struggles throwing the soccer.
“I do not know the entire story, however I do know that 1 (Hurts) is attempting. 11 (Brown) could possibly be a little bit higher with how he responds to issues. They had been pals, however issues have modified,” Graham stated on SportsRadio WIP on Monday evening. “And I perceive that as a result of life occurs. But (on) the enterprise facet, we obtained to ensure we do not let the non-public get in the best way of the enterprise.
“And that is what we have to do higher.”
What was the message Graham was attempting to get out within the open? Was Graham attempting to get Hurts and Brown to patch issues up, no matter is happening?
“I wasn’t attempting to be divisive. I simply did not need us to make use of the media in a foul approach,” Graham stated. “I can not do this both. If I’ve obtained one thing [to say], I’ve obtained to go to the folks, too.
“I made a mistake and I assumed that it was one thing that it wasn’t. I simply need to win so unhealthy that I do not simply need to use the media when we have to speak about one thing and we will repair the issue ourselves. I did not add to it in a superb mild in order that’s my unhealthy.”
Hurts and Brown could have their flip later this week to deal with the problems persisting between them. Perhaps it isn’t as massive of a deal as Graham made it out to be, nevertheless it seems to be a problem that is spreading all through the locker room.
