Philadelphia Eagles new linebacker Zach Brown sure struck a nerve in his former fan base of the Washington Redskins after some comments on Monday.

How different are the Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles nowadays? Well, for starters — one of these teams has had some moderate postseason success. The other? They haven’t done much in this era of football. What about the locker rooms? Apparently, the Philadelphia Eagles are beating out the Redskins in that department as well.

According to former Redskins’ linebacker Zach Brown, being in the Eagles’ locker room is much different than being in the Washington locker room. In Washington, Brown has experienced what you would call cliques. Basically, linebackers talk to linebackers, linemen talk to linemen, and so on and so forth. However, in Philly, the scene is different. Everybody is friends. It doesn’t matter what position you play; you can hang with anybody in the locker room and feel good about it.

You wouldn’t think a comment like that would catch so much heat, but it did. And now fans of the Washington Redskins are lashing out towards their former linebacker Zach Brown, and the new Philadelphia Eagles defender is all for adding fuel to the fire of this NFC East rivalry.

Who’s going to catch Brown slipping from Washington?

As the Redskins’ fan account ‘Redskins Rant’ on Twitter asked the question “So which HOG is gonna pancake Zach Brown first?” Brown ended up finding it and responding with an answer of his own. Obviously, Brown claimed that nobody would while laughing it off. He also added the nice touch of “they know what’s up tho.” What did Brown mean by his follow-up comment? Well, it could mean one of two things.

One, Brown could be saying that he wants all the smoke against Washington when they play the Eagles twice next season. Being that Washington cut him, Brown is likely out for a double-dose of revenge next season. Two, Brown could be saying that in Washington, they know exactly what he means about his comments regarding the state of the locker room.

Not every team has a tight group like the Eagles, and outsiders looking in could see that. Regardless of what Brown meant with his comments, it’s still entertaining to see him laugh off to the possibility of getting pancaked by a former teammate. His offseason actions are giving life to the Eagles-Redskins rivalry for next season.
