Jeremy Green (4:06 PM)
Hello.... Green Nation and welcome to Football Friday
Wes (Atlanta)
OK Jeremy I've asked enough Falcons questions the past few weeks. I have a bigger question, I just traded LT and Hines Ward for Michael Turner and Marshawn Lynch. Good value?
Jeremy Green (4:07 PM)
I have to say No.. I think LT is posied for a big second half of the season. He has a weeks rest and the Chiefs coming in and San Diego showed they are a 2nd half team under Turner.
Ryan (San Diego)
Foooootball Friday! Whats up JG. I guess Shannahan was right comparing Torain to TD. They both like to tear ACL's!
Jeremy Green (4:08 PM)
That is what it appears to be. What a great job of Cutler just taking over too but you can't get the Browns D every week.
Marc (city of brotherly love)
Happy Green Day!!!! What's going on JG? Your Scout's Inc has the Eagle with an edge over the Giants. Do you really believe that? Can the Birds get the job done this Sunday Night? Thank you I only have time for one question today. See ya next week!!!
Jeremy Green (4:10 PM)
I think M-Dub wrote that match-up but I can't disagree there. I think McNabb has a solid edge in this over Eli based on how both are playing and I would give the edge to Westbrook as well because I think he creates many missmatches for the Giants slower LB unit. The GIants are playing well but I think the Eagles are dangerous right now because of #36, McNabb and Jim Johnson... I like the Iggles.
John (Cincinnati)
The lack of discipline on the Browns is out of control. Should the entire staff be fired in the offseason? Do you think they have a shot at Cowher?
Jeremy Green (4:12 PM)
Well the Browns defense was going to be an issue in the back-end so no shock there. No name group and they don't blitz so you know they are going to get picked apart. I think Crennel will be gone but Savage built the team and traded the picks that are not producing consistently as well so plenty of blame to go around.
Dave(Charlotte, NC)
Do you know why the Raiders cut D Hall? He wasn't having that bad a year, was he? Or was he too much for the locker room?
Jeremy Green (4:13 PM)
Dave where have you been man? T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E... not hard to see either since they are in man coverage all day. Won't cover or tackle anyone.
Mike (Boca Raton)
pls explain why a team like the steelers would be one of the more active teams going after meangelo hall? seems like the opposite would be the case.
Jeremy Green (4:15 PM)
Because I think the theory is this and we have seen it with Moss in NE and Rogers to some degree in Cle... put good players on good teams and they try harder. Hall is not the first guy to go to Oakland and quit... ie... See Moss.
Jason Campell (Still getting hit by pits linebacking core)
Have i been playing way over my head until the pit game or am i really turning into a franchise quarterback? Im so confused Jeremy, please help me understand!
Jeremy Green (4:18 PM)
I would not say that. I think he is like any QB in a new system and this is his 4th... still learning but I still say he is the franchise.
Paul (Denver)
Hey fellow Bears fan! What's does Rex's stat line have to look like for the Bears to win on Sunday?
Jeremy Green (4:20 PM)
200+ with about 50% completion %... key number will be 1 INT or less.. You can't give an average offense points. Punting and making the Titans work the field will keep them in the game this weekend. Give them a short field and it is over.
JP (Pittsburgh)
JG, What's up? Does Anderson start another game in Cleveland?
Jeremy Green (4:22 PM)
Not this season. It will be Quinn now with the Browns out. They have to keep seeing what he has and I am not sold yet because having a good game vs. the Denver defense is not a tough task even for a backup because they are beat up and even with healthy a terrible defense. Monday night on the road at Buffalo that is a better test
Steve (Rochester, NY)
The Patriots have historically done a good job shutting down Lee Evans but their defense is not as good as previous years. Will Evans be able to make some plays this week?
Jeremy Green (4:25 PM)
I think they will keep him under wraps. Teams are starting to shade the FS his way and the Pats will too. They still do not have another target to take pressure off him. I like Moss for a big day though as the Pats are getting killed by opposing teams #1 WR
PT (Franklin, NC)
Would Jim Harbaugh be a good fit for Jamarcus Russell in Oakland?
Jeremy Green (4:26 PM)
No... nobody is a good fit in Oakland right now
Will J (Portland, OR)
So is Derek Anderson's career as a starting QB over? After seeing the game last night, I sure hope all those fans who chastised him can see what he was working with.
Jeremy Green (4:28 PM)
I would not say that. He proved he can start in this league. Whether it be with the Browns or somewhere else he will compete for a starting spot again.
Jeremy Green (4:28 PM)
Jeremy Green (4:29 PM)
I would not say that. He proved he can start in this league. Whether it be with the Browns or somewhere else he will compete for a starting spot again.
Will J (Portland, OR)
What are your thoughts on Joey Porter's comments regarding Matt Jones? So apparently half the league wouldn't be allowed to play if it were up to him.
Jeremy Green (4:32 PM)
Like Jones I don't think much of what Porter says anymore... I love watching him play though... sadly he was quiet last year and I don't like that now that he is back having a big year the mouth starts up again.
Steve (Rochester, NY)
The Colts passing game has clearly been out of sync this season. What do you attribute it to?
Will Cornwall CT
What makes you think that Eli Manning will have a better second half, especially with one tough game after another to finish the season?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
JG: Maybe it's just me but hasn't Gus Frerotte helped get things opened up for AP? His TD/INT ratio still isn't great but at least he poses a passing threat unlike his predecessor.
Jeremy Green (4:34 PM)
even though he struggles in the 2nd half he has the post-season from last year to pull on. He is not losing games for his team right now either so I think that helps from a mental point of view.
Philippe (Bristol, CT)
Jeremy, Lamar Woodley was fined $10K for one of his sack on campbell - What is going on... Are you supposed to cuddle the QB to the ground?
Will Cornwall CT
What do you think kenny phillips chances of taking the starting strong or free safety spot for the rest of the year if he plays well against the eagles this sunday?
Jeremy Green (4:35 PM)
it was a terrible call as was the one on Harrison in the Jax game.. Pitt is under the microscope... I hate to play the woe is me card but Pitt is being watched more then any other team and I think even a non steeler fan sees that.
Gary (Toronto)
What do you think of Jake Long at the midway point of the season?
Jeremy Green (4:39 PM)
He has been solid... Mario Williams got him for two earlier in the season but he has been a big reason that O-line has stepped up big time
Will J (Portland, OR)
Are the Cardinals a legitament playoff contender? Or are they the lucky recipients of being in a horrible division?
Jeremy Green (4:41 PM)
No I would say legit... yes the NFC West helps but in the same sense, who would want to play them in a one game situation? Fitzgerald and Boldin? Pendergast with great D schemes.. I would not want to play them in a one game scenario.
Lucas (NY)
Jeremy, I dont want to make this conversation a family affair, but i recently read that your dad was a perfect fit for the Oakland Raiders organization. Any comments on that?
Jeremy Green (4:43 PM)
Only because he and Davis have a relationship... nobody is a good fit in Oakland.
Dan (DC)
What do you think of the Skins signing D. Hall?
Jeremy Green (4:44 PM)
he is a good player when he wants to be... he is on a good team now so I think he will play better.
Jerry Jones (Dallas, TX)
Will my team make a push and get into the playoffs? If not, I'll hire your Dad!!
Brett (LA)
Champ back next week?
Jeremy Green (4:47 PM)
Jeremy Green (4:47 PM)
Sorry I have to run a little early guys... I will make it up to you guys next week... Thanks for checking in with me on Green Nation this week.
