Quote:"I think the biggest thing for us, we have two team rules ... be on time and protect the team," Green said. "I think that's the biggest thing, the two rules for us and holding everybody accountable, holding everybody to a high standard. I think that's the biggest change from Coach Lewis. Everybody's held accountable, everybody's held to that high standard."

Quote:"It’s different to have your head coach be in the offensive meeting room going through every play, every detail to every guy, telling them why they need to run this way or what this concept is," Green said. "It's just a little different, but it's fun. It's awesome because he's so smart, he's so detailed."

In other words, many of us had long suspected that Marvin operated with a bit of favoritism and let some players have lengthy leashes, while others seemed to remain permanently in his "dog house".  I take comments like the one from AJ Green as confirmation of our suspicions, no need to roil in bad memories from back then, just time to enjoy what the new staff has to offer going forward.

If I don't complain about Marvin, chances are that will build up inside and, well, the next thing you know is I'm sling-shotting frozen peas at people in the grocery store again. The judge already told me he didn't want to see me back for frozen food assault. Oh never mind, I'll just hang out in the fresh vegetable isle and raise chaos from there.

I love AJ, but accountability should be an even higher standard for the studs who get paid loads of money. May be he was saying it was him not being held accountable.

So, my comment was not a knock on AJ, a compliment he understands you don't blame others first, first you look into the mirror. Point was why did OP jump to AJ was thinking of others, he very well may have been thinking of himself. As for perfection, where did I say I expected any player to be perfect. 

I didn't and don't, but I do expect a ton more production and less mental errors from a great WR than say a QB who has 10 times then mental prep and expertise than any position player on offense of defense. Yet, AD gets trashed all the time, some warranted and some because of others including AJ.

Point is AJ is so far down the list of players that need to be held more accountable it’s not even worth discussing.

Players who are worse get cut and lose their job. But, the guy you pay big bucks, you bet they should make sure he is a leader on and off the field (meetings and film).

I think AJ would tell you the same.

There has never been nor will there ever be a WR that doesn’t occasionally drop some balls or fumble. Check his stats compared to other top guys like AB, Julio, OBJ, etc. I know off the top of my head AJ has put the ball on the ground less that AB and he’s considered the best in the league.
