Jay Ajayi unhappy? 'Shut up and tote the ball'
Y all see something wrong with what he said
....
Philly media needs to chill here, I didnt see anything wrong with the interview. They tryna create some narrative that is not there. One thing is that our fan base is passionate but when they get bored they like to create drama. The team is good, let them live Didinger.
The media had a big part in that whole Donovan T.O. Drama. They tried to do it earlier this season with that whole Jim Schwartz trying to take Doug's job angle.
From what I saw, Ajayi seemed more pissed at himself for the fumble on that long run that Agholor picked up for the score... He looked really pissed when he was on the bench after the play..... understandable.
Also from what I saw, he was in the game alot on those play action plays and some passing downs. He just didnt get too many carries which was likely the game plan.
They probably wanted to feature Blount against this team in particular and Ajayi knew this. So i dont think he would be pissed about something he likely knew coming into the game.
I think he is still the biggest threat we have coming out of the backfield against most defenses. That bears run defense is decent and Blount is better suited against that kind of defensive front the bears have (those ones who have big, strong and slow guys up front). This was evidenced by Blount's 15 carries for 97 yards on runs mostly up the middle. Ajayi before that big run had negative four yards on four carries.
On top of that, clement only had four or five carries and was in the game less than Ajayi i think.
If he was irritated at all, I dont think he was irritated by the number of carries. It was more about the fumble.
That being said, Ajayi needs to learn to ignore negativity, this is not Miami and the philly media and fan base are a different beast and they're ruthless at times.
If he has a bad game, they gonna remember that Clowns comment.
