But he's had a couple of bad games, and I think he and Andy are frustrated with each other.
I just kept thinking, "Throw it to Boyd!". He was the only receiver (vs. TE) getting separation and holding on to the ball.
Maybe? Who knows? They've been very friendly with each other off-field as far as I know, and AJ has really gone out of his way to stick his neck out for Andy on many occasions (it didn't feel like standard-issue forced praise). But weird things happen during consecutive losing seasons. Fwiw, it's been a bad season by AJ standards. Over his last 11 games, he only caught 43 balls for 574 yards and 5 TDs. That's a 16 game pace of 62 catches for 835 yards and 7 TDs. Those aren't #1 WR numbers...let alone AJ Green numbers. Catch rate of 46.7% on his targets.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
