A Deeper Look At the Enigmatic Bryce Brown

Philadelphia Eagles running back Bryce BrownThe questions were posed flatly to Bryce Brown, and answered honestly:

Would you say football is a raging passion for you?

“No, I wouldn’t say. I wouldn’t say that at all,” said Brown.  ”I love football, it’s a wonderful opportunity. I acknowledge that and know that. But I don’t think it’s my highlight. I don’t think it’s end-all for me. You know, it’s football.”

So this is not an all-consuming type of thing for you.

“Right.”

You look at it kind of like a business?

“Absolutely.”

Taken at face value, these comments could set off an alarm or two. But a little more digging offers insight into what makes the enigmatic Brown tick.

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Bryce Brown Gets His Chance

Philadelphia Eagles running back Bryce BrownLeSean McCoy doesn’t like to take a breather.

He’s played 610 snaps on the season, the most of any running back in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. McCoy led the league in playing time last year as well.

But on Monday night, the Eagles will see what life’s like without McCoy, as the running back continues to recover from a concussion he sustained during the final two minutes of last week’s loss to the Redskins. McCoy just turned 24 in July. He’ll continue to carry the load for years to come. But it’s still important for the Eagles to find the right back to complement his talents.

Enter Bryce Brown.

McCoy Feeling Fatigued, Fuzzy; Vick Progressing

Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy.Running back LeSean McCoy and quarterback Michael Vick have both been officially ruled out for Monday night’s game against the Panthers.

McCoy is still feeling symptoms from a concussion he sustained in the final two minutes of last week’s loss to the Redskins, head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said today.

“He’s got a headache. He’s got periodic dizziness with exertion, so we’re not exercising him. But if he goes up and down steps too fast or tries to pick up his baby, that kind of thing, he gets a little fuzzy,” Burkholder said. “It’s not nearly as bad as it was in Washington, but it’s still there. Very fatigued. He’s got some sleep issues where he sleeps a lot and then he’s awake and then he can’t get back to sleep – that kind of thing. One of the things that he complains about is sensitivity to noise. Just noise in general is bothering him.”
