I know this isn't the first thread on Greene, but I think he deserves a lot of credit.
For someone with very little coaching experience, you have to be impressed with the way he goes about his business. He's shown that he can transfer his knowledge and experience about the defense to his guys. But maybe even more impressive is his ability to draw out their daily work ethic, intensity and passion for the game.
This whole article is very good about the work Walden and Briggs have been putting in to not only avoid being a liability, but to succeed in Green Bay. It looks like it all goes to job Kevin Greene is doing in coaching these guys up. You can add Zombo right in with these guys too.
I went into the draft last year thinking that the Packers really needed an OLB to make sure they can get to the QB to help out a secondary that had been abused too often. Now I'm not sure the team isn't set at OLB with a 7th rounder and two undrafted free agents. That says a lot about Thompson, but it says just as much about Kevin Greene. (Trgovac has done a good job with his guys to improve their inside push and pressure too, which obviously helps as well.)
Coach 'em up Kevin!

“I’m not a seasoned, grizzled veteran coach,” Greene said. “I’m just doing what I think needs to be done, and I think what needs to be done is you put yourself in that kid the best you can — all your love, all your passion, all your heart, everything you know about this position and everything you’ve learned about this defense. And if they listen and they’re a smart kid and want to be a student of the game, then hopefully he can make plays and help this team win.”
