Alex Green Scouting Report Compendium

[Tarlam!]

His open field cuts were surgical.

I thought that was Gado. wasn't he a med student or intern or some shit like that?

[Deputy Nutz]

For any of you that think Grant will be cut this year going into the 2011 season you should have your head examined. Is Clifton going to be cut? I haven't heard that one on these boards and Clifton has less left in the tank than Grant, and his replacement is a 1st round pick, not a 3rd.

Thompson has shored up the running back position a year or two before he had to. Thompson doesn't like to be pushed in a corner and let his judgement cloud. He moves a year or two ahead on all of his picks. He did it last year with bulaga, and this year with his first three picks.

Grant is making a 5.2 million dollars in 2011, hardly breaking the bank for a 1200 yard rusher and a known comodity.

Cutting Grant with only Starks and 3rd round rookie under team control would be foolish

[RashanGary]

Green and Starks will play when they earn it. Neither have done what Grant has. For now we have Grant and a couple intriguing young guys. In a year, hopefully Green Finley's Grant's position away from him.

[Guiness]

I'm not sure if that highlight reel is for him, or their OL!

He sure got past the LOS a lot without getting hit.

[Brandon494]

Its funny how fast some of you forget how good Grant is.

[Iron Mike]

I wonder if they'll give him #30??

[Scott Campbell]

Yeah, I miss that guy. But not on the field.

Grant is definitely going to be around this year but the little open field stutter step that Green does is something we've never, ever seen from RG (and im not talking retailguy).

Grant won't be cut, but his contract will be allowed to expire after the 2011 season and he likely won't be resigned or extended. In the same way that Neal was drafted to take over for Jenkins before Jenkins' contract year, Sherrod was drafted to take over for Clifton in Clifton's contract/retirement year, and Green was drafted to potentially take over for Grant in Grant's contract year.

TT likes to fill needs before he has them.

We saw the stutter step from BJ a lot, but it tended to be in the backfield just before the hole closed.

And in some cases I bet it gets him some deals on extending these guys for the family discount.

Yeah "TT drafts a guy at your position in your combine year" doesn't mean he doesn't want to bring you back (IIRC he drafted Brohm during Aaron Rodgers's contract year), it just means that he's planning for the eventuality that he may not be able to.

[get louder at lambeau]

I wonder if they'll give him #30??

That would just be rude. As of right now, he isn't the only Green on the team though, so his jersey will likely say A. Green.

[Lurker64]

I was under the impression that they gave Alex Green #39.

lol at the worst example EVER of a draft choice not replacing the incumbent!
