Hello and welcome to foooooooooootballl Friday

Ryan (America's Finest City)

Are you still picking the Raiders to finish the season above the Broncos? You really thought the Broncos would be that bad this year?

Jeremy Green

  (4:11 PM)

Let me get to Ryan first since he has sent this question in 20X today... Evidently I was wrong. Let's not get to excited yet since the defense is still made of saran wrap.

Dustin Drzycimski Alta IA

Jeremy, Your dad was able to have a remarkable career in Minnesota since his departure the Vikes have been a mess. Is he retired completely, if so I can understand but hope that he realizes how he has shaped the game of today, and that perhaps he may come back for one last stint. I'd love to see how he'd operate in Minnesota with the talent on defense and Peterson in the backfield, remind me a bit of Smith and Hoard.

Jeremy Green

  (4:12 PM)

Thanks Dustin... I will pass along the kind words. I would say retired for now though.. enjoying fishing and golfing to much.

Brad(NM)

Hey JG..what are you thoughts on Buffalo possibly starting 5-0 before their bye week? After Oakland they get the Rams and Cards on the road.

Jeremy Green

  (4:15 PM)

Hey Brad. I think it is a real possibility. Glad I made all those Buffalo bets last year and not this year and I do remember saying I think they are a year away. At least 4-1. Hard to say who the Cards are right now until I see them on the road in Washington this week but if I had to make the prediction as you are asking me to I would say yes they will be 5-0. As for those 2007 Bills bets... I just found the sheet so I will be reaching out to you Bills fans.

Andy (Ann Arbor, MI)

Please help! Fear of heading to 0-3. Based on injuries, which three RB would you start: T.Jones, K.Smith, McFadden, Michael Bush, and Sproles. Thank you!

Jeremy Green

  (4:17 PM)

Thomas Jones, Bush based on the Raiders injuries at RB and tough call with Sproles and K. Smith... I think LT gets a little rest again this week in a game they should win so I would go with Sproles.

Marc (city of brotherly love)

Happy Green Day!!!!!What chance do the Eagle's have this weekend? Pitt has alway seemed have their number. Besides Eddie Royal can Desean Jackson actually be rookie of the year?

Jeremy Green

  (4:19 PM)

Yes to the OROY and DeSean Jackson it is possible. Also have to look at Chris Johnson, Forte, Felix Jones... so many great offensive rookies on display so far. I like Pittsburgh on the road. Never like Monday night teams who traveled on a short week. I like Pittsburgh on another big day from WIllie Parker.

Chris(Indiana)

JG, What are your thoughts on the Colts Marvin Harrison? Is he done?

Jeremy Green

  (4:21 PM)

I don't know if I would say DONE... he is not who he once was. He is pretty much just a possession guy at this point and the problem with that is... possesion guys tend to be a little bigger and be able to work the middle of the field a little more. He is just a guy at this point of his career.

Mike (Philly)

What are your thoughts on San Diego's defense? Losing Sean hurt them, but do you think they can rebound?

Jeremy Green

  (4:23 PM)

Hey Mike. I think they can rebound if we put the D back in the coach I now call T.E. Cottrell. I will give him the D back when he calls a blitz. They can rebound... they have to get aggressive again and I think they will this week.

Mike (San Diego)

JG, quit pumping up Willie Parker for trade bait! Thanks for picking the Burghers...almost guarantees a Philly win.

Jeremy Green

  (4:24 PM)

Trade bait... Parker has been a star... how did that work for you last week when I picked Dallas?

Travis, Canada

Greener, can you get the football gods to smile on the 0-2 guys this week!

Jeremy Green

  (4:25 PM)

San Diego and Minnesota yes... no to Cleveland and... yes to Jacksonville... the rest of the 0-2's can't help themselves. My goodness the Falcons and 49ers are going to be 2-1... what is going on in the NFL?

Marc (city of brotherly love)

Ecluding the names Brady and Peyton. What QB would you select to run your team? PS That Pitt answer stung ouch!!!!

Jeremy Green

  (4:25 PM)

Jeremy Green

  (4:29 PM)

Big Ben.. great winning %. Love the size and the command of the offense. has a SB ring to his credit.

Ron (Mexico)

Jeremy, is Kansas City the worst team in the NFL right now?

Jeremy Green

  (4:30 PM)

The two worst teams are from the SHOW ME Nothing stae thus far. The Chiefs and the the Rams... not good when the best story right now is the Royals trying to be a spoiler.

Troy (San Diego)

Haha, "TE Cotrell"... I love it!!!

kit mpls

What took Childress so long to realize TJACK is not good?

Jeremy Green

  (4:32 PM)

I don't know if that that is the case. They don't let the guy play. I like the benching if you are going to be conservative as Bevell and Childress have been. Not going to defend T-Jack but you have to have guys that can go make a play and I am not sure the Vikings even have that with Frerrotte at the controls.

Joe (St. Louis)

Actually I think the biggest story right now is Mizzou football. That's about all this state has going for it right now.

James (ATL)

Why do you ate the Falcons so much? And do you think they can continue the NFC south tradition of worst to first?

Jeremy Green

  (4:34 PM)

Why do I hate the Falcons?? Wait.. because I do not think they are a good team does not mean I hate the Falcons. They are a young team with a rookie QB, below average offensive line and young front seven on D... they are not a very good football team... I think hate might be a little strong.

Mike (San Diego)

JG, let James in Atlanta know that you hate the Eagles way more than any other team in the NFL. Or, maybe he just needs a hug???

Eli (Berkeley, CA)

Which raiders team will show up against Buffalo? The one against Denver or Kansas City?

Paul(Minnesota)

TRUE OF FALSE: Adrian Peterson will play this weekend and get 100+Yds and TD?

Jeremy Green

  (4:36 PM)

The real Raiders team. The one that is not very good. The same Radiers team showed up both weeks. Last week they just happened to play an awful Chiefs team. This week they play a very good Buffalo team so I would say their score will look a little more like week 1.

Mad Mike (Houston)

JG: Which is the dumber owner? The Fords for keeping Millen or Al Davis for blaming Kiffin for Moss being traded and thinking the 23Td's would have stayed there in Oakland....Tell your Dad to just say NO.......MM

Jeremy Green

  (4:37 PM)

Matt Millen has one of the worst records of any GM in the history of sports. I have to go with the Ford's on this one.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

T-Jack was given a chance to make a play against the Packers though JG and he threw a HORRIBLE INT. He was given chances last season too and took a team from the driver's seat for a playoff spot with two games to go to home again for the playoffs.

Jeremy Green

  (4:38 PM)

Point taken. So glad he is out because I can no longer watch the horrid play calling with T. Jack in the line-up.

Travis (Canada)

Greener, can you shed a light on the whole Lions looking for a new vet running back, to back-up Kevin Smith?

Jeremy Green

  (4:39 PM)

I do not get this one at all. I like Kevin SMith and you have Rudi. Another RB? He can stand around like the first two guyus I mentioned and not get touches because the defense is so good at digging 21-0 holes every week.

Mad Mike (Houston)

JG: Let SD Mike know that the Iggles suck!!!!!!..........MM

Jeremy Green

  (4:39 PM)

done

Paul(Minnesota)

You never answered my TRUE OR FALSE question on Adrian Peterson!

Jeremy Green

  (4:41 PM)

Sorry Paul... I don't think he is going to play. Never good when you have a set back from Wed to TH and today is just a glorified walk through. I don't think they would risk using him not healthy when you have a more then capabale backup Chester Taylor. False on AP 100+ and a TD.

John (Cincinnati)

Hey Jeremy, would you start blitzing more if you were Cleveland? I know they have ?s in the secondary but you can't give a QB all day to throw. What do you think of Shaun Rogers so far?

Jeremy Green

  (4:43 PM)

Yes... they die a slow death every week and their secondary nor any can cover for that long when the QB has all day... just ask Cromarite who plays in the T.E. Cottrell system. At some point you have to make the QB make a play so the Browns need to bring some heat. Hey it is a rookie this week in Flacco.,.. they better dial up some heat.

C.J. -PA

I guess Hurrican Ike spared Mad Mike? Darn.

Jeremy Green

  (4:43 PM)

WOW... Mad Mike... you going to take that from CJ?

AJ (Denver)

Why did you have Cutler rated so low in your young QB comparisons?

Jeremy Green

  (4:45 PM)

I had him 3rd in my picks... behind two guys with rings. I love Cutler but it has been two games this year. I love his arm and ability to fit it into tight windows but I want to see his team in the playoffs.

Mike (San Diego)

Mad Mike sent me pics of a shrimp boil and cheeseburger bbq feast...he's doing good. I'm sure power would be nice, but when life throws you lemons...grab a bottle of Tequila!

Mad Mike (Houston)

JG: I haven't had a chance to listen to the Podcast, but what was your upset special for this weekend. Mine, would have to be the Texans over the Titans......Peace......MM

Jeremy Green

  (4:45 PM)

Packers over Cowboys

Greg(Los Angeles)

WHat do you think of the Arizona Cardinals? I know the season just began but this is a team no one would want to play in the playoffs with their offense and a good solid defense. Agreed?

Jeremy Green

  (4:47 PM)

It is early. Beat a SF team with O'Sullivan making his first career start. Miami is terrible. I will not start drinking the Kool-Aid yet. First beat Washington who is a good team on the road. I like Washington this week by the way... something to do with West Coast teams going across the country.

Mad Mike (Houston)

JG: I will just consider the source on that one and hope it makes CJ feel better to kick someone when things are not great. As long as he feels better, I am cool........MM

Jeremy Green

  (4:48 PM)

CJ show some respect.. Best wishes to you... your family.... and friends MM.

Greg (Rochester, NY)

Cincy has no chance this week but what's happened to their offense?

Jeremy Green

  (4:50 PM)

Offensive line woes. They have not been the same since losing Steinbach, WIllie Anderson getting old and now gone, Levi Jones and his injury issues, the retirement on Rich Brahm. Two years ago this was one of the best offensive lines in the NFL and now it is one of the worst. Plus Chris Perry?? The guy is just fragile.

John (Columbus, OH)

Why do you hate the Jets so much? You never, EVER, have a nice thing to say about them.

Jeremy Green

  (4:52 PM)

Hate the Jets? I do not hate the Jets!! But this is not a very good team. Should have lost to Miami in week one. the one things I do not like about the Jets though is this. They give 10 million to Favre and the offense looks so conservative. Three straight runs last week from the one... that Favre guy is pretty good on the boot leg. They keep saying Favre needs to adjust to them... maybe when you give him 10 mil and the keys the rest of the offense and in large part the play calling needs to adjust a little more to him.

Wayne (Kansas City)

Why do you hate Kansas City so much?

Jeremy Green

  (4:53 PM)

Very easy... this is a terrible football team. I do like their young talent though... they find a QB and I will put them on the 3-year plan.

T.E Contrell

I would yell at you but I dont know what T.E stands for? Tough Enough?

Jeremy Green

  (4:54 PM)

No I just stole his D... I am not giving it back until they get 3 sacks via the blitz in one game. Hey Ryan? That would be around mid-season right?

James (ATL)

Looks like I've started a trend of people who are fans of "crappy" teams thinking you hate them JG

Jeremy Green

  (4:54 PM)

appears to be the case

Raymond (Baltimore)

Yo JG! Question, as implausible as some people may think it is. Isn't it possible that maybe the Packers knew that there wasn't that much of a drop off from Favre to Rodgers. And maybe, just maybe he's even be an improvement over *the gun-slinger*

Jeremy Green

  (4:56 PM)

That might be the case. The advantage for Rogers is that he has been in the system and learned the offense. I can't just say improvement based on his success and Favres somewhat lack there of because a lot of it has to do with having guys around you and Rogers has far superior skill players.

Brett (LA)

Your assessment of the broncos defense is off. Saran wrap is actually good for covering things.

Jeremy Green

  (4:56 PM)

it bends... always breaks.

bobby (orlando fl)

jg, what's your take on the bears-bucs this weekend? will orton finally hit a deep ball? we should be 2-0!

Jeremy Green

  (4:58 PM)

I like the Bears at home this week. They are playing great defense and know Griese well. As for the deep ball I doubt this is the week. I would expect some more dink and dunk vs. the Tampa Cover 2.

CJ

I am sorry.

Jeremy Green

  (4:58 PM)

AWWWWWW... isn't that sweet!!

Brad(NM)

I think you're avoiding calling Harrison DONE because he's on your fantasy squad! Anthony Gonzalez has become the better option.

Jeremy Green

  (4:59 PM)

LOL. He is there... taking up space.. I put him on the bench... check the line-up.

Jason (Nashville)

Hey Jeremy, are the Titans for real? I'm not sold on the offense but the D is legit.

Jeremy Green

  (5:01 PM)

They are the Titans... it is Dejavu for the last three years. Below average receivers... solid run game... solid run D... tough coach... tough team... won't beat themselves... They are likely a playoff team waiting for an early exit because in the playoffs you have to create enough offense vs. teams that can score points and the Titans can't. I love this toughness of this team but they are just not built for playoff success until the find a receiver that can make a consistent play.

Tom (Mpls)

Can't wait for foooootballllll sunday. Jeremy which team defense, Seatlle or Baltimore will show up this week?

Jeremy Green

  (5:03 PM)

Baltimore. The Browns offense is a shell of what it was. DA and the offense can't get in gear because they lost so much valuable time together in the pre-season due to his concussion and Edwards foot injury. WInslow missed time. Nobody is on the same page and a D coached by Rex Ryan will feed off that.

Majeed

JG, Worse group of WRs: Miami or Tenn?

Jeremy Green

  (5:03 PM)

Miami

Majeed

JG, D-Mac or Maroney? I need to beat Candaian boy this week!

Jeremy Green

  (5:04 PM)

You have any healthy backs Majeed?

Wes (San Diego)

JG, do you use emoticons? :(

Jeremy Green

  (5:04 PM)

Feeling a lot of love!!!

Brad(NM)

I saw you on the News w/Jonathan Coachman last Saturday..do you ever get any funny WWE stories from him?

Jeremy Green

  (5:06 PM)

Sunday the Blitz from 8-10 PM.. OK there was my plug... OH I am on Football Friday tonight on ESPN NEWS from 8-9 PM... Oh and the Hot List from 3-6 PM on Monday's... ESPN Radio from 3-7 PM on Sunday's... wait that was 4 plugs... never aksed him.. I will this week.

Travis (Canada)

Greener, is that Majeed throwing down the Gaulet?

Brett (LA)

Remember when you said you didnt think Brandon Marshall had what it takes to be a number one? I love giving you a hard time when youre wrong about my broncos.

Jeremy Green

  (5:07 PM)

HAHA... I never said that. I said he needed to get his (BLANK) together off the field to be a #1 and what do you know?? That still has not happened

From (Dallas, TX)

Why don't you ever talk about the Cowboys. Do you hate them too?

Jeremy Green

  (5:17 PM)

Sorry... Guys... that is going to do it for today's addition of FOOOOOOTBALLLLL FRIDAY.
