Frustrated A.J. Green says he needs ball more

[THE PISTONS]

Speaking after Thursday night's Week 2 loss to the Texans, A.J. Green intimated he needs the ball more.

"We are playing like sh-- right now. We got to find a way to get our playmakers the ball. That's it. It's a superstar-driven league," Green, one of the league's true superstars, said. "I feel like – no disrespect to nobody else – that ball should be mine somewhere somehow. ... I want the ball." Green has seen a combined 18 targets through two games, which is good volume, but considering how poorly this offense has played, he needs it even more. Expect the Bengals to regroup and grease the squeaky wheel come Week 3 against Green Bay.

This is how winners think. This is how competitors talk. This is how a real man who wants to carry an offense on his shoulders leads and motivates others.

Its called the ML/Dalton playoff scheme. Avoid throwing the ball to AJ at all cost.

Houston's top 2 corners were both out in the second half. Pretty sure AJ was targeted MAYBE twice. F you Zampieceofshit.

Who get the blame for not targeting AJ in the postseason?

William Gay and Ike Taylor.

When your softspoken star says something like this, it's time to listen and respond accordingly.

Great players of any sport want the ball. And in football it is up the coach and quarterback to do so. But the Bengals are idiots so there ya go.

Excellent point. I'm still fixated on the most recent playoff debacle.

They got AJ the ball against the Chargers, he dropped it.

How many playoff targets has AJ had each game? Pretty much all the same with the same result...a loss.

And then  we depended on Dalton. How that work?

I really appreciate AJ BUT too many times I've seen him give up on a long ball that he could have possibly caught (last night there was one) or not contest an over thrown ball to prevent an interception. He also disappears quite frequently against the better cornerbacks in the league. Sometimes its hard for people to look in the mirror.

I got some super deja vu from this. Remember back when brat wouldnt throw to Chad except on 3rd And long and Chad finally came out screaming Throw me the ball!!!... then the offense started clicking after....
