Here is the thing.. while I am not a big fan of his, he actually does have a small chance that he improved enough to actually be a quality player… he was grossly mismanaged thus far
Take into consideration:
-he was drafted because of his athletic ability… as far as centers go, he was raw.
-much has been made about him being undersized, but really that isn’t his issue…
He bulked up from his college weight and he plays at an acceptable weight for an NFL center… its his technique that is bad.
Last year, in preseason, when Green landed his punches and won in leverage, he was fine… even against bigger opponents… when he didn’t, he couldn’t pull off those recovery techniques and just got blown up…
Its not that he lacks the physical ability… he simply doesn’t have the technical ability yet…
He has been a bit mismanaged
They viewed him as a plug and play guy at center in Klemms system, and he wasn’t strong enough yet to do that… some of his issues were masked by the move to center, with people dismissing his problems as him adjusting to snapping then blocking… turns out he had to learn to block in the nfl first… then switching him back to guard, but also switching to a heavily technical blocking scheme didn’t do him any favors…
It’s theoretically possible that he could be much improved in year three… he was billed as a guy ready to start but really was a developmental guy…
I mean I wouldn’t hold my breath… but it could be the case
