Jeremy Green (4:17 PM)
Sorry forthe delay...had trouble getting logged in from a different area of campus today
Brett (Texas)
Hey Jeremy, Don't you think the Cowboys are better off with Roy Williams on the bench? There pass coverage looked far better against the Pack with out him than they did against the Eagles with him.
Tom (West Palm Beach)
I'm a Dallas fan who lives in Florida so it's hard to hear about my team, and I need a question answered. I'm no fool, I don't think that our secondary has proven itself, I think we need help in that area. Jeremy you think that at this stage there is much hope for Dallas' secondary or are we gonna have to wait and see (cause they can't just go out and buy someone), or is there any hope of them proving themselves?
Jeremy Green (4:21 PM)
I thoguht they played better last week. Adam Jones is still knocking off a little rust. Newman missed time early. Jenkins is a rookie and they need to get more presure as they did last week. I think the secondary will be fine
SprungOnSports (Long Island)
Can Arizona have Chargers-like success against the Jets this week and get a victory?
Jeremy Green (4:24 PM)
I like Arizona this week because I think they like San Diego will create pressures in this game. Arizona DC Clancy Pendergast has an attacking type scheme. They will come after a less then 100% Favre and I think get a win on the road. I like that AZ stayed on the East Coast all week to negate jet lag.
Steve (Syracuse, NY)
JG biggest pretender so far this season?
Jeremy Green (4:26 PM)
Baltimore. Have not played on the road yet. Opp records are combined 0-6. Flacco is going to be a very godo number one but his numbers are marginal vs. two bad defenses. He has been backed up by a solid run game in 2-starts vs. CLE and Cincny who can't stop the run. I lovethe D but the O is not good enough vs. a good defense.
jose (oakland)
JG, rumor had it that your Dad was asked by Al Davis to be the coach of the Raiders? What do you make of that dysfunctional situation?
Jeremy Green (4:28 PM)
I would doubt that. He has asked him many times in the past, but I don't see that happening right now while they are in the season. I think Kiffin will be fired next week and James Lofton will take over on the interim.
greg (den)
Greener, who you got this week, selvin or ryan G? Carson or Kurt? Thanks, dude. Peace
Jeremy Green (4:31 PM)
Selvin Young vs. the terrible Chiefs run defense. They have just been gashed the last two weeks and even if they wanted to drop the Safety down in the box they won't vs. Cutler. I would say Warner if the weather improves. Pouring on the east coast today and rain is int he forecast through Sun AM.. Jets can't get pressure and a un=touched Warner can be dangerous.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
JG how about the Gus Bus getting the Vikes into the win column? Seems like a lot of teams are going with veterans who can manage a game over the younger more athletic QBs who don't seem to be able to lead.
Jeremy Green (4:33 PM)
Tough spot here on the road vs. Vikes who can usually out muscle teams and that won't happen this week. Both team can run and stop the run so it comes down to QB play and I would give the nod to COllins in this one because the Titans are at home.
Matt (Denver)
Greener, do you think Shaun Alexander will get a shot with someone this year? Also, will Deuce find his way back into the NO backfield? Seems like healed-up proven veterans are not in high demand. Thanks!
Jeremy Green (4:35 PM)
For Alexander it would take a major injury to a starter because he offers so little as a backup because he can't catch the ball, block or play on special teams. Duce will get a shot when healthy because the Saints SY offense has been awful and they can find a role for him
Patrick (San Francisco)
It seems the Pittsburgh o-line has not performed very well since Grimm left for Arizona. What's the main problem - coaching or talent?
Jeremy Green (4:37 PM)
Grimm is a great coach so his loss is a factor but the biggest reason is talent. Marvel Smith is no longer a Left Tackle. They need help at ROT. They have never gotten Hartings repalced inside. Talent is the bigger factor right now.
Steve (Moscow, ID)
Hey JG what's your take on the Broncos experiment with a 3-4 defense against the Saints? Could they play some 3-4, or would the 3-4 not work for them now the surprise is gone?
Jeremy Green (4:39 PM)
I like it... it is kind of a hybrid. Dumervil can stand up and roam. I like that they can move him into different spots and the Broncos other then Dumervil just are not very good on the D-line.
Ryan (San Diego)
Rivers...killing it
Jeremy Green (4:40 PM)
So is Cutler.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Do you think with Frerotte at QB Berrian finally gets a chance to earn his paycheck?
Jeremy Green (4:40 PM)
Has a better chance because as Frerrote showed last week, he has better deep ball accuracy.
Ryan (San Diego)
Chiefs are going to beat the broncos, Rivers is going to throw another 3 td passes this weekend. 2 predictions for you
Jeremy Green (4:43 PM)
The Chiefs are not going to beat the Broncos. As shaky as the Denver defense is they get a bad offene. Denver will move the ball all over the Chiefs marginal defense. This is not the week Denver draws closer.
Travis (Canada)
Greener, how far do your Cubs go this season?
Jeremy Green (4:44 PM)
World Series title. They have the pitchers and the sticks... Curse ends!!
Dave (Denver)
I see from Ryan's biased posts that Happy Hour has already started in San Diego. The Broncos figured out D. Hall was almost as easy a target as Cromartie was. So River's should pick on D. Hall.
Majeed
Which will we see more? Miami week 2 team or the one that spanked the Patsies?
Jeremy Green (4:46 PM)
Week 2. Not sure they are deep enough to be consistent. O-line and Pennington played their best games on the same day and the trick O is a gimmick.... teams will figure it out.
Brad(NM)
Hy JG...Mr. Harrison showed he isn't quite "done" yet just as you had said. Will you be starting from now on? Any chance that Buffalo gets trapped this week against St. Louis? Almost happened against Oakland.
Jeremy Green (4:47 PM)
Man is he slow though... shook free one time. Mathis abused him all day for the most part. No trap. The Rams players are going to lay down in this one. They are calling out Linehan for benching Bulger. Al Saunders press conf will be on Tuesday.
SprungOnSports (Long Island)
Can the Bengals carry over some of their good play from last week into the Cleveland game and get the win?
Jeremy Green (4:49 PM)
I think they will. I realluylike the shot gun offense they used to give Palmer time. They play the browns who do not get pressure. I look for a big day from Palmer and the Bengals first W.
Matt (Denver)
Believe it or not, I think the Broncs switch to the 3-4 was a way to get Jamie Winborn on the field. He has played well. Without a stout NT and effective pass rushing OLBs however, I'm not sure how well the 3-4 will hold up for the Broncs. Your thoughts?
Jeremy Green (4:50 PM)
Right . I was jsut aying the strength of the team more at LB then the DL... the fewer DL the Broncos can get on the field the better off they are.
Travis (Canada)
Greener, who's next on the unemployment line with in the league besides the kid in Oakland?
Jeremy Green (4:51 PM)
Linehan first... I say Monday.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Just for the record, Gus is now 3-0 as a starting QB in Minnesota. Not sure if anyone cares but I thought it was interesting.
Jeremy Green (4:52 PM)
I don't know about that.
Matthew (NC)
Is Ryan from San Diego Ryan Leaf?
Jeremy Green (4:52 PM)
Almost as cocky but no not the same guy.
Randy (Detroit)
The most dysfunctional team in the NFL is ____ ?
Jeremy Green (4:53 PM)
Oakland
tom (hackensack)
JG, any chance Gonzo or LJ are traded at the deadline? gotta feel for those guys...
Jeremy Green (4:53 PM)
Gonzo would have a better chance... the Chiefs just signed LJ to that big deal. WHat is the value for Gonzo though? Aging TE? not going to get much
Steve (Rochester, NY)
This just in.....Larry Johnson already has 50 yards and a score on the Broncos "efense"
James (ATL)
Happy friday JG!!! How do you think the Falcons secondary will fare against Steve Smith and Co.? I know you don't think the Falcons will win, but I'm predicting 20-17 Falcons!!!!!
Jeremy Green (4:59 PM)
I don't see that. Will compete but I do not thing Ryan is ready to take his game on the road.
CC (Atlanta)
Why did the Browns fire you? Seems like they need all the help they can get. That must really stick in your craw.
Jeremy Green (5:00 PM)
I thought they did me a favor... my bad... less stress... more money... more free time to spend with my family? it is killing me right now.... just dying inside.
Brad(NM)
is Romeo Crennel on the hot seat if they don't beat Cincy?
Jeremy Green (5:02 PM)
No... I think he bought the season after the 10-6 year last season. How about the GM here as well though? None of their off-season moves are panning out. Rogers and Williams? No impact. Anderson struggling. Stallworth hurt. Can't put those on Crennel
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
How about an upset special for us this weekend JG?
Jeremy Green (5:03 PM)
Cardinals over Jets and beat up Brett. Bears at home over a beat up Eagles team that was in Dallas and then a home physical game vs. Pittsburgh.
Majeed
JG, Still calling Cottrell "T.E."?
Jeremy Green (5:03 PM)
they got 3 sacks this week and 3 picks. I gave him his D back. I reserve the right to take it away again though.
James (ATL)
Hey what about the first part of my question? About the Falcons new secondary (with out DHall) vs Steve smith and Co.?
Jeremy Green (5:05 PM)
It is one of the only games Hall got up for and he has owned Smith so I think this actually helps the Panthers this week.
Majeed
So how come the genius Belichick couldn't scheme/stop the gimmick play after the 5th time Miami ran it?
Jeremy Green (5:07 PM)
I chalk it up to an off-day. Not going to rip the Pats or Belichick for the loss. We NEVER see that happen so I am giving him and his team the benefit of the doubt in that I think they got FAT off the Jets win, thought it would be that easy every week and were looking ahead to the BYE week.
Travis (Canada)
Greener, how come you don't have to pull weekend chat duties during the games like the other Scouts Inc. guys?
Jeremy Green (5:08 PM)
On ESPN Radio from 3:7:30 PM and ESPN NEWS from 8-10 PM
Anthony (NYC)
JG with the Rams off to such a bad start & Linehan likely to lose his job, why hasn't there been talk about the dreaded disease called "Rebuilding"?
Jeremy Green (5:09 PM)
Because the organization was foolish enough to convince them to add Trent Green. Rebuild involves a young QB and they do not even have the future to work with right now.
jim (santa cruz)
any chance the oakland coaching staff is tanking to get kiffin fired (including kiffin himself)?
Jeremy Green (5:10 PM)
I don't think so. Since the news broke about him being on the firing line the team has played harder and the defense has been better. Ryan got caught up last week like a lot of coaches and that was pulling off the dogs with the lead.
Brad(NM)
Tough game to pick..Minnesota at Tennessee...who you goin with JG?
Jeremy Green (5:11 PM)
titans... games comes down to Collins vs. Frerrote and I will take Collins at home.
Travis (Canada)
Greener, I owed you that meatball down the middle of the plate, whom else is going to allow you to drop your ESPN schedule and not make it look like you are a ego-manic?
Jeremy Green (5:11 PM)
LOL... thanks Travis
Razldazle (Boston)
Hey JG, good call on the Jacksonville-Colts game last week. I was the only one to pick the Jags and it won me the pool!! What are your upset specials this week?? Thanks Again
Jeremy Green (5:12 PM)
Cards over Jets as the Carsds blitz happy D will get after Favre.
Tom (San Fran)
While we're picking games, any chance the niners can beat the saints?
Jeremy Green (5:13 PM)
I like the Saints but the 49ers can win this game because the Saints defense is miserable once again. No pressure and O"sullivsn behid martz is the 4th rated QB in the NFL. I see a shootout butt he Saints will find a way at home.
eric(Maryland)
What are you going to say when the Ravens win Mon night?
Jeremy Green (5:13 PM)
Eat Crab cakes?
Jeremy Green (5:14 PM)
Thanks guys... everyone have a great weekend and be safe... catch you back here next Friday.
Evan NYC
Who should I take in survivor this week... NO, Den, Pitt, Jax??
Jeremy Green (5:14 PM)
Denver
Majeed
GB at TB?
Jeremy Green (5:14 PM)
Tampa Bay
Jeremy (Memphis)
Do you think Dallas can cover the line?
Jeremy Green (5:14 PM)
looks like a big number to me... I like Dallas to win.
