Quote:"We've been talking back and forth. We were talking (texting?) yesterday and I know he wants to get together and throw somewhere," Green said. "I told him wherever he is, we'll come to him. I don't know where, when, how. It's all who can fly where and when. He's the quarterback. He makes his location and we have to get there."

Quote:"It's not about that. It's all about he's going to be the leader of our team," Green said. "I just want to put that in him already to where he feels comfortable leading."

On letting Joe take the lead

He missed a whole season and when he finally does get healthy and able he is not allowed to get together with his teammates.

I don't care what some people here claim, AJ is a football player and football players hate it when they can not play.

Quote:He knew the Dalton departure was coming, but that didn't make last week any easier. There had been a marvelous moment last week when the band got back together on a video conference. There was Andy and his receivers past and present. Green. Andrew Hawkins. Mohamed Sanu. Marvin Jones.

"We Face Timed a few days ago," Green said of Dalton, believing he has found a terrific spot backing up Dak Prescott in Dallas. "We'll always be friends. A friendship that lasts forever. I'm very happy for him. He's in a good situation with a good staff behind him and where he can help Dak because Andy is an unbelievably smart guy. He'll push Dak to be better and also help him."

I figured in the end AJ would come around because he has never been the type of guy to make waves, he doesn't want to be a distraction. I am excited what a potentially healthy AJ Green can do for this offense.

Lots of other receivers have come and gone, but it has always been Andy an A.J for the last 9 years.

I wonder who meets up though AJ, Boyd, Ross, Higgins, maybe Tate?
