Has AJ Brown really made the Eagles better than the Cowboys?

Because as far as I can tell that's the only difference between last year's Eagles and this year's team.

Dallas dominated Philadelphia in all 3 phases last year and I don't think Brown is THAT much of a difference maker. Diggs can easily lock him down.

Yeah, Hurts may have improved some and we may have lost Amari Cooper and Dak (for this game only), but the Dallas defense is probably even better than what it was a year ago.

I think Sunday's game is going to be very close and Dallas has a good shot to win as long as they continue to not turn the ball over.

Golly gee I wish I had your optimism.


The change is simply outside of AJ Brown. And even if the change WAS AJ brown, remember what Amari did for us the year he traded for him? One player and the whole team changed.

Their defense got stronger. They drafted better and had plenty of picks. Their QB developed. Their coaching got more experience and is approaching each player to their proper strengths. They played their cards right unfortunately.


Remember, no NFCE team has repeated winning the division in years. Dallas has officially been hit by a metra train. And they sure are acting like it.

He’s a stud. Plus they added Riddick who’s wrecked games for us in the past and Bradberry at corner to team with Slay.

The scariest thing to me is the Dline and Oline having said that. Remember they sacked Wentz 4 times in the 1st quarter

I personally think Kyzir White was our best defensive acquisitionc he’s had a phenomenal year, but Chauncey Gardner Jonson has been awesome as well

You have to wonder what their record is in your version of reality. Imagine if you knew they had won four straight :huh:

Ha, i was just thinking this. Also posted the video of the drubbing we laid on them in the first game last year.

AJ Brown is a good player but he doesn't make them unstoppable. We have faced at least 4 better wr's so far this year including the 2 best in the game.

Their defense is improved and can get after the passer. They are giving up 5 ypc though.

Anyone scared of Philly should turn in their fan cards.

Brown is far from their only acquisition. The Eagles needed to make some moves to catch us, and they did. We'll see how it works out.

he’s vulnerable to getting thrown at though, he’s having a harder time at safety than nickel corner

Good call but for me it’s about Hurts’ passing ability being much improved.

I never worried much about them as I was never a fan of him, but he is throwing it much, much better this year.

Thats the difference that I see. How much Brown is a part of that I’m not sure.
