Honestly, I'd start Powell or McKnight, and then bring in Greene as the change of pace back. He's better suited for that role (Greene).

We need a starting RB, and Greene isn't the answer, IMO.

Because we know football, and we know that this team is devoid of talent on offense. I even question whether or not the defense will be any good. We'll get a dose of reality tonight against Cam, let's see if the defense can ever get off of the field every posession in under 10 plays.

Why is everyone so down on Greene?

I don't know. Combination of recent performance mixed with past success in that exact role as I described? That's how I see him at this point.

Your first statement is seriously called into question, with your second statement. How can ANYONE, even Pats fans, claim to KNOW football, then question whether this defense is any good. They were a pretty good defense, last year, without a true pass rush, speed on the outside, or even decent play at the safety position.... all of those issues have been addressed, through the draft and free agency. We'll have to wait for the season, to see how they work out..... but, to question whether a pretty good defense, that upgraded personnel, will be any good, at all, does not scream "I know football"....... it screams whiney SOJF.

Because people no longer want to see a bruiser. They want a scat back like Bush or MJD. They would rather someone that puts on a show. Never mind power backs help win super bowls it is all about putting on a show now. The NFL will be like watching a Harlem Globe Trotter game one day. No tackling, no hard hits, no run blocking, no game strategy. Just one highlight play after anther. That is all people want to see these days. Personally I still like the old body bag games. I could care less how brutal it sounds. That is what these guys get paid for IMO.

Personally I see Greene as a 1 cut power back who can finish off a defense in the 4th quarter, and his hands have gotten better, but they are still suspect. For the ground and pound to be successful, I think we need an all purpose back who can make something out of nothing (Foster, MJD, Rice, AP, McFadden when healthy, Forte, etc) not a 1 cut back who constantly gets shoestring tackled before reaching the second level.

Would be happy as hell if it happened, but I just don't see it.

Greene should go back to second half
specialist/

1. Rex's dog - he's quick, great speed and if you put food in the
end zone he'll even beat Rex to get it.

2. Rex he's as fast as his dog when food is involved


3. Hunter - jiust tell him the press wants to talk to him

4. Tanny mention Edwards and he has 4.4 speed


Maybe the rookies get a shot to prove something
we need a lot here.
