CINCINNATI (AP)A.J. Green’s tiptoe catch along the sideline was so remarkable that his former offensive coordinator couldn’t believe he’d done it. Browns coach Hue Jackson threw the challenge flag after the Bengals receiver somehow came down with the ball for a tumbling Jeff Driskel Jersey White , 13-yard gain during Cincinnati’s 30-16 win last Sunday. The replay videos showed that Green had indeed managed to pull in the ball while getting his toes down inside the white line. The 51,710 fans did a collective ”ooooh” in admiration as the play was shown on the video board. Green? Didn’t even bother to watch the replay. He knew what he’d done. ”We work on that every day – front foot down, drag the back,” Green said matter-of-factly. ”If you can get the front foot down, you can get your back one. You practice something enough, it becomes second nature.” Later Sunday in Pittsburgh, Antonio Brown made a similarly astounding sideline catch for a 23-yard gain that helped the Steelers get in range for their winning field goal on the final play against Green Bay. Just like A.J., AB made it look oh-so-easy. ”He’s awesome,” Steelers linebacker Vince Williams said. ”We use that word too loosely. But compared to like professionals, they’re not awesome. They’re good. He’s awesome.” Green and Brown could bring their graceful flair to one of the NFL’s nastiest rivalries on Monday night when the Bengals (5-6) host the Steelers (9-2) at Paul Brown Stadium; Brown is questionable with a toe issue. There figures to be a lot of trash talking and after-the-whistle pushing – there always is. And Green and Brown could be trying to decide it with moves that leave everyone wondering: How do they do that? ”Yeah, absolutely,” Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said, referring to his top receiver’s fancy footwork. ”There’s a lot of stuff that A.J. does and it’s like Womens John Ross Jersey , `Man, there’s not many people on this Earth who can do that.” The same goes for Pittsburgh, which is so accustomed to watching Brown work his magic. Brown has made so many incredible catches that it’s impossible to rank them. ”It’s hard because I see them all the time, but it’s still pretty special,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. The Steelers can move one step closer to another AFC North title with a victory Monday, which would be their sixth straight victory in the series. The Bengals have to win to maintain any thought of a playoff berth. The two receivers could have a lot to do with the outcome, even if they don’t have huge games. Brown leads the league with 80 catches and 1,195 yards receiving. Green is tied for 20th with 53 catches and ranks seventh with 809 yards. It’s not the numbers that define them as much as their artistry and their impact on every game in some form. Both command so much attention from defenses that their offenses get plenty of openings elsewhere. During the Steelers’ 29-14 win at Heinz Field on Oct. 22, Green had three catches for 41 yards while Brown had four for 65 – not bad, not great. Green had two catches for 38 yards in his only game against the Steelers last season, when a hamstring injury sidelined him for the rematch. Brown had a total of seven catches for 97 yards in the two games. Both receivers face familiar defenses that know how to contain them most of the time. ”When you look at (other) games, obviously he’s not getting challenged at the line,” Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. ”He’s running freely. When you press him Clark Harris Jersey White , that’s when he seems to have a problem, and that’s what I’ve had success at. He knows I’m going to be hands on.” Even so, it’s likely that at least one of them will make a play that leaves everyone wondering: Did he really do that? ”God-given talent, I guess,” Green said. ”Just blessed to have it.” — AP Sports Writer Will Graves in Pittsburgh contributed to this report. — But the Bengals have a new head coach, and new coaches go "get their guy", right?"In 2018, there were seven new NFL head coaches. So, that means there should have been seven teams who had a new coach looking to “get their guy”. But how many of them did that?One. That’s right, only one of those seven teams drafted a quarterback in the first round last year. It was the Arizona Cardinals, who drafted Josh Rosen. Of the seven teams, only two others even bothered to draft a quarterback at all – the Giants selected one in the fourth round, and the Titans grabbed one in the sixth round.Interesting C.J. Uzomah Jersey White , but maybe 2018 was an outlier. Let’s go back another year. What about 2017? That year, there were six new head coaches in the NFL. Of those six teams, a total of ZERO drafted a first-round quarterback. Only two of them selected a quarterback at all, with the Bills drafting one in the fifth round and the Broncos drafting one in the seventh round (with John Elway continuing the Broncos perpetual search for the next, well, the next John Elway).So that means over the past two seasons, with a total of 13 head coaching changes, only one of those new regimes went and “got their guy”. Quarterback-loving Jon Gruden didn’t go “get his guy”. Neither did the Giants with an aging Eli Manning, nor the Jaguars with Blake Bortles. And so on.Ok, ok, but let’s go back one more year. Let’s look at 2016. Surely we’ll find why the media keeps telling us that new head coaches always go “get their guy” in the draft, right? In 2016, there were seven head coaching changes. Of those seven teams Womens Boomer Esiason Jersey , only one of them selected a first round quarterback, with the Eagles drafting Carson Wentz. Only half of the remaining teams even drafted a quarterback at all. The Browns selected one in the third round, the 49ers drafted current Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel in the sixth round, and the Dolphins took one in the seventh round.Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty ImagesSumming it all up, of the 20 head coaching changes that have taken place in the last three seasons, only TWO of those teams drafted a quarterback in the first round. Only 10% of the teams used their top pick to go “get their guy”. And less than half of them even bothered to draft a quarterback at all – and of the ones that did, they usually selected one at the tail end of the draft.So, what does it all mean?It means we can probably stop the hysteria that the Bengals are going to draft Dwayne Haskins, or any of the other quarterbacks in the first round, because they have a new head coach, and that’s what new head coaches do. Will we stop with the nonsense? Unlikely. But at least now we know it is nonsense.
