The Cincinnati Bengals had a really disappointing year last year but star wide receiver A.J. Green still thinks this is a team that can make the playoffs. Green points out just how good the offense was last year scoring 28 points per game so as long as the team can put it all together, he sees big things in the future.
“I think so. We are. If everyone stays healthy, the sky’s the limit for this offense,” Green said via the Bengals team website. ““Last year, we were averaging (28) points a game … We have talent. We have a great back. We have great receivers. We have a great line. We’ve got a great defense. We just have to put everything together and everybody stays healthy.”
Staying healthy is a big question mark and that goes for everyone including Green. Last season Green dealt with injuries and was only able to go in nine of the team's 16 games. Green is a big part of the offense and him staying healthy is going to be a big key if the team wants to make it back to the playoffs.
Bengals new coach Zac Taylor doesn't want to make predictions on how far this team can go but is glad Green and the rest of the squad is confident.
“We want our guys to focus on us, but we certainly love the confidence that Joe (Mixon) has,” Taylor said. “Guys that know what they're doing and we expect a lot of them on the field and it's good to have that confidence.”
The Bengals still have a lot to prove on the field but the first thing is to have self-confidence and that is something that was lacking the last few years.
