Which is why he sucks - too many limitations.

Greene is the perfect back for a ground and pound team. Our O-line isn't however.
Since when is "ground and pound" defined by straight ahead carries?

It's not. Greene just happens to suck at those too.

You miss the point that when Greene has open holes he still doesn't utilize them like a skilled RB would.

Everything he does is slow and minimal.

The problem is Greene not the OL.
