Yeah, his first couple years weren't bad. He beat our David Macklin and seemed to be a fairly-reliable player. I don't know what happened this last year, if he was just out of shape or wasn't mentally in the game, but he sure didn't last long.
I'm sure Green has the talent, I'm assuming it's probably more about will with him.
Sorry but Green was never any good. He wa solid in spots while trying to make the starting lineup but once he did make it he was sen for what he was, a bad cover CB. Profootballprospectus who has a stat of how many times a CB was thrown on versus how many times the WR caught the ball. Something like a completion percentage against a CB. out of the 64 starting CB's in 2007 Green was in the bottom five and Hood was in the top 5. Hood was also in the bottom five of TD's given up and big plays given up. That didnt change this season the first half of the year.
Green was always a bad starting CB and never reliable.
As for this season going from #2 to #5 on the depth chart. He was without a doubt in shape, its one of ther easons why he cut his dreads so he could be lighter. His dreads weight in at 2-3 pounds he said. His fall that far down came because the coaches were finally done with him giving up big plays and TD's, and he did not take his demotion well at all. Remember that last couple of games before he was demoted every time he gave up a big play or TD he would flail his arms around and stomp his feet like a child. That was the end of that and the rest was history.
I have been saying since day one the guy stunk and he still stinks. Not ball skills, mental lapses, attitude of a child, and worst of all as a CB you need to forget the last play and not let it effect you on the next one, Green did the opposite, WR's would get in his head and never get out.
End of my Green rant, Glad we are finally done with him.
