He is currently 12th in the NFL with 91 targets (about 8 per game). To put that in context, Antonio Brown leads the NFL with 126 targets (about 11 per game).
I have to admit, I was actually pretty surprised that he was as high as 12th in the league. I thought he would be a lot lower.
Sometimes I feel like we could do a lot more to get AJ the ball. We run a lot of quick hitters to Lafell on the outside, why not run those plays to AJ? He is much better after the catch.
Also, there was a lot of 1 on 1 coverage last week against the Browns with no safety over the top, why not take some chances and throw it up to him? There really isn't anyone in the league better at going up and getting the ball.
I would be interested to see the stats on targets over 20 yards. I couldn't find it though.
Well the defenses are gonna focus on green that's why its so important to get others going as that will be the best thing to help green.. Other targets to scare a defense.
But we seem to throw to him a lot and even force it sometimes(lot of INTS throwing to green). I don't want to become a megatron offense were we seemling only throw to green.. and live and die by that.
we gotta get him more involved for sure at least more consistently involved. But a lot of the lack of targets has been due to the lack of plays the offense has been running...
If we ran 33 plays and he got 8 targets that's pretty high
