Gresham had 2 easy passes that hit him in his hands and would have moved the chains and he didn't catch them.
After that, the game plan was altered and Green was covered almost all half.
In the 2nd half, the adjustments were made and Green was moved around which allowed for him to get open more often but he was still covered pretty tightly. I do know that a throw by Dalton in the 4th was missed by Green. The question is whether it was a bad throw by Dalton or a sloppy/slow route by Green. To me it looked like Green wasn't expecting the ball and when he realized the ball was coming his way tried to get to the spot he was supposed to be. Of course one could also say that Dalton threw the ball inside when he should have thrown it outside. Only the players and coaches really know who was wrong. Hell it could have been both of them.
Now if for some reason the SD game is the one that is being discussed, then I will say that Green dropped 2 (maybe 3) if I remember correctly passes that hit him in his hands. Much like Gresham did previously. Interestingly Gresham was the one that caught Dalton's TD pass in that game. A big blunder came when Gio fumbled the ball right before half time. Then we decided to go all pass happy and not try to run the ball more, Gio was hardly used in that game after the fumble. Marvin Jones did make some good plays with Green struggling.
Great memory and good points. There's way too many variables to use one game as proof that AJ was held back by Dalton.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
