Alex Green done for year

[mission]

Does it ever end with this team?

I know it sucks, but maybe our perspective is a bit skewed on this. Seems like a lot of teams have had to deal with crushing injury losses this year more than most. We've had some bad ones (Collins) and less-impactful losses like Green. No injury is good obviously but you know what I'm saying.

the preseason is a blur but didn't saine do pretty good?

Not awesome but a lot better than anyone thought.

[Joemailman]

Is there an RB on the practice squad? I thought we had one, or did he get poached?

Brandon Saine is on the practice squad.

[channtheman]

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

[Joemailman]

The decision on who to replace Green with will probably be based more on special teams needs than offensive needs. In other words, we have no idea.

Well, he wasn't going to get any carries, but was he an ST contributor?

He was active on Sunday, but if I'm not mistaken he wasn't active for most of the games this year.

Damn

Green wasn't a starter (yet) but knee injuries and RB's are no good. Hope he makes a full recovery. Lots of starters missing time this year with injuries: Collins (IR), Clifton, Neal, Zombo. Hopefully we've reached our fair share for the year 0.o

I know, I know! A TE!!!

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.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

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

[channtheman]

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.

[King Friday]

I liked Seine in preseason...he ran the ball hard. Wouldn't mind taking a look at him in mop up duty.

[Lurker64]

I think they might be better suited to filling Green's roster spot with a fourth safety, instead of a fourth running back. As long as Burnett has to wear that club, the deep secondary is kind of problematic.

It's not like Green was really getting touches as a traditional running back anyway, he was mostly inactive and played special teams.

[Bretsky]

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