AJ Green Admits To Having Chemistry Issues With Kyler Murray

“There is a lot of room (for growth),” Green said via the team’s official website. “For me, it’s communicating with him what I see, and what he wants me to do and how he wants me to run this (particular) route. I think last year there was a lacking on my part. I didn’t really communicate with him about stuff like that because I didn’t want to put a lot of stuff on his plate.

“For me, it’s being more in his face, talking together. ‘A.J. you need to do this better,’ and I’ll be like, ‘OK, I’ve got to do this better.’ Don’t be hesitant when it comes to my play. ‘A.J., you need to pick this up.’ The second year is going to be big for that.”

AJ Green would continue by saying it was ‘fair’ to say that there was a lack of chemistry between him and Kyler Murray.

“That’s fair,” Green said. “That is 100 percent fair. I felt the same way. That’s where I have to be accountable. I need to go to him and tell him what I see and (him tell me) what he needs me to do better. I can take it. ‘A.J., run the route at this depth. You need to do this.’ I’m no bigger than the team. I need him to communicate with me, and I’ll do the same.”

After Christian Kirk signed a massive deal with the Jaguars in the offseason, the Cardinals will need AJ Green to assert himself in the team’s offense a little bit more. And for that to happen, he’d obviously have to get on the same page with his young quarterback.

Unfortunately for Green, Kyler Murray has been going through a contract dispute with the Cardinals all offseason. And for now, he’s said to be holding out from the team until he receives a new contract.

We’ll see how things unfold in Arizona.
