Have to agree with Lucky. While rookies on other teams would not naturally be the focus of the defense, AJ was the threat people were game planning for from day one on the Texans last year. In the 2nd week he was seeing significant double coverage and did so throughout the remainder of the season. The pre-injury and post-injury stats for Carr are markedly different, Banks played a simplified ball control compared to the first few games and Ragone's games were a total team let down. Will be very surprised if AJ has less than 1100 yds this season and frankly think 1200+ is very achievable.
