AMPHAR Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Lol. The Bengals were close to a deal prior to the injury and have the franchise tag. Why under sell now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 The emergence of Malone in TC is a non factor with AJ because they still have a former 9th overall pick that isn’t on the field. So that’s a natural spot to bump IF Malone keeps his upside going. Sorry Ross, fix yo hammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 A 4th and a 7th? For AJ Green? Are we in the real world? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 A 4th ?? While I’m not sitting here claiming we should get multiple 1st rounders, why let him go for peanuts ?? Let him get back for the rest of the year and let him walk if that’s the decision. We get him for the year and the comp pick which would be at least the 4th they get in that scenario. I don’t want to see AJ go is what it boils down to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the proposal here is basically a comp pick so...why again? Only way I trade Green is if I'm having a fire sale and in that case I'm trading Andy, Ross, Eifert, hell maybe even Geno, who knows, so I can stockpile 30+ picks over the next two years to completely overhaul the team. And then I don't do it because we suck at drafting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Damion Willis gets the start for AJ in the opener, Jordan at LG, Hopkins at C with Price on the bench. The Price and Ross picks are looking like more and more like 1st round busts. You'd think a 1st round C would at least be able to start on this team. Maybe he'll get better. Well Taylor, unlike Marvin, isn't afraid to promote young guys/rookies it seems at least. He doesn't have much to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Per Hobson - AJ is still using the scooter, and ankle is still in the boot. Zach not saying anything about when he’ll be back. It’s been a month since he was injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Of course. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if he misses the whole year because that’s just how this team’s luck goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I fully expected AJ to get hurt again at some point this year, and I would treat him as a constant injury risk the rest of his career with this foot and ankle issues, age, build and time in the league, time to find a future replacement. Maybe he defies the odds for a while before becoming ineffective, who knows, but I think it's time they started looking at a future without him, as of next season. I just don't see him being in the league that much longer, but of course you don't give up on him until it's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 My position hasn't changed. I would shelve AJ with the IR - Return Designated label until week 9, rushing him back is only going to make a bad thing worse. Let's see what these kids can do, without an Offensive Line this team isn't going anywhere this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GapControl Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Sounds like a good plan. Why put him out there? How many times has he injured his legs in the past 3 years? Each year I think without checking it... too much at any rate. But when you have to lean on him for almost every single big play, the odds go up that he gets injured.

skyline Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 He also said he could play another 8 years in the NFL under Taylor's scheme. Hearing the players' confidence under this coaching regime is so nice to hear. Belief in your system goes a very long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still great at this point when he's healthy. He's missed six or more games 2 out of the last 3 years, and now at least 2-3 this year just to start. With his age and build, I can't help but to see a Chad Johnson type of scenario happening. 8 more years is a big stretch for him, that would be great, he'd set a ton of records, but I'm thinking maybe 2-3 more. I guess we'll see how this year goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, Chad probably said similar things, but that's Chad. I love the guy, but he never shut up. When AJ talks, I'm more inclined to listen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 AJ just did an interview. He said “I don’t know where they got the 6 to 8 weeks at, it’s going to be longer than that.” He said when he heals and can go 100%, he’ll come back.

ArmyBengal Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I’m interested to see how they handle AJ. Do they resign him knowing that number is going to be up there or do they move on ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
