The run game still looks a bit wonky, and the Dallas game we looked extremely timid (downright boring). That being said, I have noticed something, something that I'm sure has probably been passed around a lot (if it has, I apologize).
Perhaps this is something we SHOULD have saved for the regular season, but we are moving AJ everywhere. Seems like AJ has been primarily been on the outs, his entire career. I feel like that's almost detrimental to a man with that kind of talent, especially when you see what Pittsburgh does with their receivers (you can name others). When you shrink the field, I feel like that size can actually hurt you. Sure, you don't want AJ running across the field to get BLOWN up (I feel like Chad probably lost thousands of brain cells via this method). However, I've seen him line up in a variety of spots, and almost EVERY time, he's wide open.
Have you guys noticed any other minor details about the new offense that might have you happy or excited?
This may be an unpopular view but I actually think the OC who maybe looked to feature and get AJ involved the most was Zampese - maybe you could argue he tried to rely on him too much...
That first year Zamp was OC , AJ Green was having his best career year to date and was comfortably going to break all his receptions and yardage highs for a season. He did all that in just over half a season as he then got shut down - that was the year he lost his streak of 1000yd seasons
Its a double edged sword I think for an OC and Aj Green.
If you feature him he'll blow up and have an all pro 100+ , 1500+ year but the team may finish 7-9.
He ONLY goes 90+, 1200+ as part of a more balanced offense and Andy Has a better year and we win 10+ games.
