AJ Brown calls for a radical……..
Wide receiver AJ Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles wants the NFL to drastically alter its schedule in order to accommodate players.
Citing the lack of recovery time that players receive after participating in Monday night games, Brown stated in an interview with DraftKings on Wednesday that the NFL should do away with the format.
According to Scott Polacek of Bleacher Report, Brown stated, “It’s a short week, and right after the game you only get a certain amount of time for your body to recover.” “It expedites the procedure, which increases practice’s wear and tear. It becomes challenging.
Few would argue that Brown is right when he says that short weeks may be difficult, particularly for primetime clubs like the Eagles. But for more than 50 years, “Monday Night Football” has been a staple of the league’s television schedule. Since the league is simply growing its less popular Thursday night sibling, there is little risk that it will disappear.
In fact, the Eagles have two Monday games back-to-back when they play the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas, one week after playing the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. Nevertheless, considering that this will be Philadelphia’s fourth Monday game of the year, it makes sense if Brown is growing a little weary of the situation.
