I can only hope that Green really does know what he's doing.
In spite of the doubts I expressed at the time of his hiring, I must say that ..so far.....I think he's been doing a great job. Obviously, like Mac, he's comfortable "with the media", and takes to that like a duck to water.
But, as I posted before, he doesn't appear to be using a "one-size-fits-all" method of motivating players. (Like for instance someone like Tom Caughlin with their totally "my way or the hiway" attitude about everything).
He does appear to pull what he must feel are the most appropriate strings for each individual.
I think everyone has brought up some good points. I think all we can do, right now, is trust that Green knows what he's doing, and see what happens.
Like I said, so far the indications would point in his favor. Maybe he "went public" with his comments about Pace, not just because that was what was needed for him, but maybe because he had seen enough of Pace to know that he would handle it fine, and he could kill two birds with one stone by using this as an example for others, knowing that Pace would not get "upset" about it.
I think this is another area where some people have again wrongfully dissed Graves and Mac for bringing in "character" players, yet one's with some talent too.
What a nice situation for Green, not having to deal with Simians, Mosses, Carters, and various and asundry other "attitude problems."
Yet still he (Green) is maintaining that definite, "I'm in control, play or you're gone" attitude at the same time. A difficult tightrope to walk...between using your power to demand action, and motivating on a more personal and individual basis.
For any true, long eduring, Card fan, it shouldn't be too difficult to "keepa little faith" here.
