AJ starting to play like AJ

AJ Green may only be useful on slants routs going forward.... but that isn't a bad thing Higgins has been balling

Are you serious?  He had a backup single covering him and got ZERO separation.  He also dropped several balls.  $18 million?  Laughable.  He's gone next year.  Not in the plans.  I just hope the coaches go too.

Some of the rust is definitely coming off. The question is how much more he will continue to improve. That sideline toetapper looked like old AJ for sure.

96 yards is a big improvement on what he has been doing.

Honestly it seemed like his head was more in the game. Seeing him slam his helmet after we lost made me feel better too. It shows he still cares...

Hey, he had his guy beat on that deep rout. Just gotta catch it next time.

With the money he’s making way shouldn’t he catch flack for the lack of effort on that play?

True, but he is still the third best WR on the team right now, and we aren't seeing Auden Tate get many chances.

Ok, he got 96 yards with three drops against a backup.  Those will be INTs against a quality CB.  Hope he continues to improve, but his play AND his antics are making it hard to see many positives from him.  Borderline HOF player acting like a big baby.  Grow up and man up.

All you had to do was wait for MNF, the Cowgirls trumped even us...lol.

It was definitely good to see AJ involved often and early. As was noted earlier, he might need to be used more like Boyd moving forward. Slants, quick hitters, up the seam....but if he can at least produce 75% of what he used to do, it'll help the rest of the way.
