Alex Green done for year

[Harlan Huckleby]

It's not like we were ever gonna play him anyway, so I don't see this as a big loss.

what happens if grant or sparks get hurt?

Green might have been a capable runner yet this year. Nance or Saine, doubtful.

If we're lucky, Sparks will be the one to get hurt. Then we still have Grant and Starks to carry the load.

We can start saying "what if" all day long. What if Matt Flynn or Rodgers get hurt? Our 3rd QB (do we have one?) is not set to run this offense. I'm not worried at all about losing Green. It's seriously like losing number 53 on your roster. I don't even know who that is and he rarely ever plays.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Running backs get hurt quite regularly.

Green was quality depth. This is like losing Newhouse or Bush.

[woodbuck27]

Too bad for him, but he really missed out due to the lockout because you almost couldn't play him because he didn't know the offense. Hopefully while he rehabs his knee, he can learn what he missed in the OTAs that never happened.

I wonder which back we bring back: Saine or Nance.

or someone else.



Ahman Green was up here early in the Pre season trying it with OUR Montreal Alouettes. He was out of the TC very early it seemed to me. I thought maybe he had a shot elsewhere and so left TC. The Alouettes are looking for their 3rd straight Grey Cup this season.
They seem to be back on track too and their QB Anthony Calvillo will son eclipse the ALLTIME Passing mark set by Damon Allen for career total yards passing.He,s own every significant passing record then. He's a dandy. A great field General as well and smart, smart, really smart.

I always loved this Pic of Ahman Green:

It could be very Ted Thompson like to bring back Quinn Johnson (he is available). Kuhn is the 3rd RB.

Damn . We're falling like house flys in November.

Since McCarthy has been using TEs as extra fullbacks (Crabtree is the 2nd FB in the inverted wishbone) I don't think he would bring in another back who is just a blocker.

[mmmdk]

gotta agree; honestly Burnett is playing great for only have one hand to work with. But I'd also take more help there

I hear he's got a third leg though...

[mmmdk]

That sucks, he could have been a weapon later in the year.

Yup, it sucks! But injuries win championships!

[pbmax]

Green was active for 4 games and on the coverage units.

[smuggler]

ST play aside, I would prefer to have Saine. He looks like a 3dRB candidate. Can he block?

[Gunakor]

Not with both Grant and Starks healthy. But if we were ever in a situation where Kuhn would be called upon regularly, like last year, I doubt they'd use Crabtree as his full time lead blocker. If either Grant or Starks gets hurt for any length of time I could see QJ getting another shot here.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I realize the potential Green has guys, but come on, we're 7-0 with our offense lighting it up and Green hasn't seen the field all year save for like 3 carries I think someone said? Green is on IR and nothing of value is lost.

Agree. Not a big deal really.

Johnson now plays for the Broncos.

[gbgary]

Not awesome but a lot better than anyone thought.

Both Nance and Saine did well enough in the preseason that you'd consider bringing them back. Saine's on the PS, Nance is on his couch. Saine displayed some very good hands in the Preseason, and both were solid blockers.

cool. thanks!
