The Perception: With AJ Green entering his 8th NFL flavor too producing at levels that contender the best inward the game, it’s unbelievable he doesn’t garner to a greater extent than national attending similar his counterparts from say Pittsburgh, Atlanta, too New York. Perhaps it’s the slow going soft spoken nature of Green that doesn’t attract the attending equally he’d prefer to allow his game verbalize for itself rather than exercise unnecessary drama onto his team. While some believe Green should live on to a greater extent than song given the caliber of role instrumentalist he is, nosotros detect no error inward supporting an all-star talent but generating numbers consistently piece avoiding the pitfalls of existence dragged into situations non conducive to a positive atmosphere.
ADF has been a giant supporter of AJ Green going dorsum to his days alongside the Georgia Bulldogs which saw highlight-reel receptions on a consistent basis. As Green enters the terminal years of prime number mightiness (29 years old) the overall perception is already showing downtrends amidst the masses due to lower than expected results over the finally 2 seasons. While ADF withal subscribes to the perception that AJ is an elite degree talent, in that location are feasible explanations to quash the observation that Green is trending inward the incorrect direction too won’t savour a bounce dorsum travail alongside the Bengals. On the positive trend, Green has stayed relatively salubrious over his 7 completed seasons missing exclusively 10 games, 6 of which came inward 2016 therefore the lower productivity that twelvemonth inward role removing the declaration that he’s lost a step. Adding to that, finally flavor was quite the disaster for the Bengals overall equally the entire criminal offence looked anemic equally patch made solutions too uneven play calling Pb to their demise. Even still, AJ Green managed to generate slap-up numbers inward the procedure yet lower than his career average, null to larn overly concerned about.
Upon completion of the 2017 season, the Bengals were rumored to live on moving inward some other direction at the caput coaching position, but remained on course of report retaining long tenured bench boss Marvin Lewis inward hopes that continuity could correct the shipping quicker too so starting from scratch. With Lewis secure to 1 time again Pb the charge, the selection to hold appointed offensive coordinator too one-time quarterbacks charabanc Bill Lazor inward accuse of play calling duties could live on some other positive inward organization familiarity to larn this criminal offence dorsum on track. Stability inward this illustration could bode good for Green too Dalton to 1 time again detect that magical connector we’ve witnessed inward the past times specifically from the 2012, 2013, too 2015 seasons. Either way, the expectations too perceptions should croak along to remain high on Green preforming at peak levels inward 2018 displacing the naysayers who advise the potential commencement of the inevitable spend upwardly is underway.
The Reality:
To human face upwardly facts of reality too agreement what led to the uneven surgery over the course of report of the 2016 & 2017 seasons, you lot don’t induce got to facial expression beyond a deficient offensive line. Andy Dalton inward the past times has proven he tin brand plays, many of which induce got been geared to his favorite target (AJ Green), but showed his greatest struggles finally flavor running for his life ultimately existence sacked 39 times too fourscore over the past times 2 campaigns. With no institution of a enterprise running laid on due inward role to those inadequacies on that offensive line, the limitations were felt equally Green saw his lowest reception full inward his career for sixteen games played, the correlation is quite apparent inward our eyes.
Furthermore, when examining the talent (or lack thereof) that lines upwardly on the other side of Green; you lot get down to also notice trends that don’t complement inward a supporting style equally opposing defenses primal inward on AJ alongside double teams quite frequently. While nosotros believe Green tin handle whatever province of affairs too accept over a competition on whatever given day, the success was far greater alongside players similar Mohamed Sanu too Marvin Jones anchoring the contrary side drawing coverage allowing for superior play calling too execution. ADF isn’t suggesting the electrical flow receivers on the roster couldn’t accept the side past times side measurement inward their progression becoming higher caliber players; it’s exactly unproblematic fact that it hasn’t transpired on the champaign thus far which has croak a hindrance on Green forcing him to drive the offensive production.
ADF is a theater believer inward stability too familiarity inward offensive systems which allows for amend execution for the unit of measurement equally a whole. Having Bill Lazor render should render some ounce of relief to Andy Dalton too company, to construct from where they left off finally season. Over the finally v games of the 2017 season, in that location was a distinct force to larn Green to a greater extent than involved but the execution wasn’t ever there. Without a enquiry inward our mind, Green volition detect his stride 1 time once again reasserting the fact that he is indeed 1 of the best receivers inward the game.
The Outlook:
AJ Green inward our eyes withal possesses elite degree science that volition interpret dorsum on the champaign equally the Bengals facial expression to improve on finally season’s tallies. The supporting cast for the Bengals criminal offence looks adept on newspaper but must detect a agency to bear witness it on the field. Tyler Boyd too John Ross involve to detect their stride piece improving their arts and crafts to exercise those mismatches that should larn out Green inward to a greater extent than unmarried coverages. Joe Mixon should croak along to improve equally good existence the characteristic dorsum this season, creating sustainable play activity situations allowing for bigger plays downward champaign to AJ. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 squad is equally strong equally their weakest link so whatever improvements production wise volition exclusively assist the flavor outlook for AJ Green.
From the fantasy perceptive, Green finished the flavor ranked equally the 10th best receiver inward PPR (Point Per Reception) formats generating a salubrious 226.8 fantasy points, piece seeing his average dip a lilliputian to 14.2 points per game, withal really enterprise but non what we’d commonly facial expression from Green throughout his career. The fantasy soil is ever to a greater extent than reactive basing their projections to a greater extent than so from finally flavor statistics rather than accounting for overall improvements made to each club. Taking that into consideration, Green currently holds an ADP (Average Draft Position) of xx piece seeing a worst draft placement selection autumn equally far equally 25 inward recent mock drafts. Seeing a talent similar Green drib all the agency into the minute circular has ADF screaming “VALUE” for where his services tin live on obtained. It’s non out of the realm of possibilities to witness AJ larn dorsum on runway hitting numbers which we’ve grown accustomed too. ADF comfortably endorses the notion that Green volition detect his agency to xc receptions for 1150-1250 yards too 8-10 touchdowns this season, similar nosotros said fantastic value for a pure WR1 for the 2018 travail at somewhat of a handle price.
