AJ Green Drops

[Whatever]

Joking aside though Ross shouldn’t be getting 30 snaps a game, and I am beginning to wonder if AJ should get as many as he is. His route running deep has been bad, heck even one of his catches he double clutched it and ended up making a circus catch out of a routine one.

Everyone knows I am president of the Auden Tate fan club, but seriously with the lack of separation guys are getting as it is, the time has come to let him have his shot. Everyone keeps talking about how Joe isn’t on the same pages as AJ or Ross on the deep balls yet but all we have heard all off season was how much Tate and Joe were on the same page on them.

I don't really recall any stories about Tate and Burrow on deep balls during camp.  The closest is the vague "developed good chemistry" reports that surfaced after the first scrimmage, but those same reporters claimed AJ looked great in his limited work, too.  Sadly, the beat writers see what they want to see and if we've learned anything from all the past "Golden Binns Award" winners, it's that you can't trust their WR evaluations.

I don't really see your logic.  Burrow, like a lot of young QB's, is overthrowing WR's on deep balls.  That's perfectly natural.  You're in your first few games as a pro, that WR comes wide open deep, your eyes get big, you're amped up, and you put a little too much on it.  Putting one of the slowest WR's in the league out there is counterproductive.

On top of that, I wouldn't cave to that total ***** "may request a trade" move he had his agent pull.  He's had ample time to refute that, and hasn't.  You have to wonder if his attitude is one of the reasons he isn't playing.

The guy who should be eating into Ross's snaps is Thomas.  The guy has caught 6 of 7 targets and leads the Bengals' WR's in separation.
