Skyler Green

[Bleu Star]

Can we put him back onto the practice squad today? This guy did nothing today. His decision making was lacking big time. On a couple of returns he actually had a path to choose and chose to go east/west instead of north/south. In stark contrast, Randle El went north/south very quickly. That should be the mindset of a punt returner. Find the crease and get north/south.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

why is this guy on the team? If you are on the team to be a return man exclusively, you better be good at it...ala Dante Hall for KC.

 

[Fan Since 77]

We need to sign somebody or trade TO for Dante Hall.

He looks slow to me.

 

[CantonBound08]

He looks slow to me.

He does look slow which surprises me because I thought he looked quick when he was at LSU. I guess that shows the difference in ability in the pro game.

I would give him a bus ticket in the locker room, one of the worst return guys I have ever seen.

 

[Gaede]

yeah I was shocked how average he looked out there.

I'm one the few remaining people who believe Green can actually contribute--but he looked like crap today

 

[Frosty]

look at the good side....he's good at catching the ball and did not fumble.

He's a wasted draft pick as of now.....

I said all of this exact same stuff right after the Houston game but no one believed me.
It was proven today. He is terrible, worst than Crayton IMO.
Newman isn't doing anything else, we might as well put him back there.

Come on now. it could have been much worse. He didn't fumble, and he didn't fair catch inside the 5.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

he moves quicker than Crayton, that's for sure

we miss him real bad on kickoffs. I don't know what players are available right now, but I would be willing to bet that we can do better.

Was Skyler Green that good in college as a punt returner to be drafted in the 4th round? I never seen him play in college. From what the zoner's were saying and my trust in Parcells, seemed like he would be pretty good. Any input from LSU fans would be appreciated.

That is a very impressive video. It makes me wonder if the step from college to pros is bigger than some would imagine. He looked like Bledsoe back there returning kicks today.

I see a lot of north/south running on that video too. I wonder why he is playing so tentative. hmm...

Green is slow, period. If you're going to draft a person that does only one thing, atleast draft the best at it.

I'm with you man, I don't get it. I watched this video after we drafted him, and I was excited about his potential...what a downer.

 

[ManofSteel2331]

well he seemed fast in that video.. what happened to him?

 

[Kevinicus]

I thought he seemed slow in the video. Very average speed for a guy doing returns, etc.

our special teams are a disaster, and green is terrible.
