He is taller, but that doesn't mean his game is even close to the same so not sure why it matters. Browns game isn't built on being fast, in fact he ran a 4.47 40. His games is built on route running and improvising with Ben. He is little but he can beat press, doesn't mean all little guys can.

The Steelers don't play AJ Green in bracket coverage. In fact the Steelers don't play nearly any man and that is why they got smoked by the Patriots in the playoffs. They ran a zone defense that had some shading to it, but he was still normally one on one. When Ryan Clark was there he'd peel off a decent amount to try and jump routes.

Fuller was targeted 92 times, with 47 receptions.  The fact that he was credited with only five drops all season is hilarious.  I saw him drop five in one game.  He was not at the line of scrimmage when those drops occurred, as your post would have us believe.  He was downfield.  He was not pressed and shut down.

Here is an article about the steelers recent game plan on AJ Green:

Not covering him one on one at all.
