    As moody as AJ has been over the last 6 months, do you think he has a problem with this?

    Hopefully, a picture says a thousand words...

    At any rate, I thought we would go to AJ much more in the red zone this season but it hasn't happened.

    Reminds me of Refridgerator Perry getting goalline carries instead of Walter Payton.

    AJ's numbers have dropped a lot this year. He doesn't have much time to waste to continue to put up numbers to support his HOF case.

    Andre just seems to be a target for short throws, lacking the break away speed these days?

    it's just rare to see him get a pass on a run or in stride. it seems that all he is getting are comeback routes or out routes where he's an easier target to bring down.

    A thousand words? Those words could be as negative/fraud as Rockets' record. :p

    Hopefully... AJ's smile is genuine.

    But could you really blame him if it wasn't? I couldn't. Dre has mostly been nonexistent (much due to coaching) his entire career in red zone and goal line. Watt comes in and is immediately rewarded the primary target. Andre has often said he doesn't trip on TD receptions as long as we win, but it's gotta eat him a little. Oh, and we usually don't win.

    Just have Watt throw 2 TD passes to AJ. Problem solved.

    Watt gets the MVP for doing almost everything, and AJ80 has more TDs than Watt. Everyone's happy.

    Would think the actual TE's would have more reason to be pissed off than AJ80.

    AJ would be a 1st ballet HOF'er if he had more TDs. The only reason his eventual induction isn't a sure thing is his lack of TDs. None of our TE's have this dilemma.

    He has more reason to be pissed than anyone else. And he hasn't been in the best of moods the past 6 months anyway. Just makes you wonder how he really feels about this.

    Kubiak didn't call AJ's number in the end zone and neither does O'Brien. So he should be use to that. But I'm sure AJ, Nuk, and Foster/Blue love the fact that they bust their azz on offense to get to the goal line and J.J. is put in to get the TD... I'm sure CJ appreciates it as well.

    Let's see what AJ does with Mallett over the next few games before we judge. He made some great catches against Haden.

    I believe it will change - Andre and Mallett will hook up for the same throw JJ got this last week

    AJ is in decline, he has lost a couple of steps, he is a good solid possession receiver now.

    I feel like we have been saying this the last few years, and then he blows up.

    Andre needs a QB.

    Last week he almost opened up the game with a touchdown, but the ball was underthrown.

    He isn't just a possession worthy wide out at this time.

    That last TD pass/ catch by JJ was a thing of beauty. Surpised the Browns, and Mallet has the offense moving so quickly......it happened so fast.

    I was like ....JJ in motion to the outside! and he ball was already in the air.

    The Texans need to do that again this week.

    Absolutely throw him out wide and run the ball down the middle.

    You know cincy would be expecting pass. 3 step drop and run the draw.

    Foster wouldn't get touched.
