Now you're claiming Trent Green has release problems, next you're gonna tell me he is Rob Johnson.

Huard has been getting rid of the ball the way he has becuase of the Hermified system.

If anything when Green comes back I'm worried there might be a feeling of relief that the defense doesn't have to play balls out to win.

There's also a rust factor here. How many games does it take to shake off? 2? 3?

Can we afford to lose those games while Green gets back up to game speed and comfortable throwing the ball around again and STILL make the playoffs?...

The rust factor is the only thing I'm worried about. I think though the teams he's looking to start against will be of help there - Miami's performance today is a bit different than I expected, but Oakland at home is probably the closest thing to a gimme you can get in the NFL.

Even with the rust though, the fact that the O-Line is providing better protection makes me think that even rusty, he won't struggle nearly as much as he did against Cinncy.

As for the D, I'm more concerned with the injuries today than I am that mindset. If anything, Green will up the O's effeciency which will keep the D off the field a bit more and keep them rested a bit better than they were today.

Next to Miami at home...

I see Head coach Hootie, a 21 year old football genius and his Offensive guru GoChiefs are at it again. Give up fellas, those 2 know more about football than Herm and Solari....as well as every one on this board.

I think we can still get the W. Miami was on today against the Bears, but it will be tough to get up two games in a row - Just look at the way Pitts went flat after they beat us so soundly.

Green has to get used to this offensive line though. He is used to having his all pro offensive line with all the time in the world to throw. He was hanging on to it too long in week 1 where Huard has a much quicker release..touch decision

The O-Line wasn't providing anywhere near the protection that they are now. Cinncy was coming through about as quick as they would have against 5 trash barrels out there.

Since then, the O-Line has done much better and Solari is calling more plays to compensate.

You guys are confusing quick release with quick decision to get rid of the ball.

Trent has the quicker release.

Huard is making the decision to pass quicker, by design.

Simple answer, no need for all this discussion.

Yes.

DRU · 11-05-2006, 04:31 PM

Here's the way I look at this whole thing...I haven't ready everything so somebody may have already made a similar point.

Green is our guy. He's been our guy for years now and has been VERY successful. Huard playing so well gives us the ability to allow Green to get back to 100%, nothing less. This means we can wait until he's very sharp in practice before even making a switch.

These next 2 weeks are seemingly some easy weeks. Of course, this is the NFL and no week is easy, but you know what I mean. It's a good time for Green to get back on the field and get comfortable with the live action again.

Then, barring a complete melt-down of the D or rest of the O in general we could be sitting 7-3 with our true starting QB back in the game and the comfort of knowing that we have a very capable backup waiting should anything at all go wrong.

Not many teams can say that right now....at least not with true confidence.

I say get Green back in there. He's done absolutely nothing to lose his job...other than slide 2 seconds too late. It's a testimate to our great offense, even so banged up, that Huard has done so well. I LOVE Huard for playing so well, but there's a reason he's been a backup all these years. Green has proven himself as a starter for years. If he's well, he's the QB.

Yes I think that's how most people are seeing it.

Yep. With Green, he was given 3-4 options in his progressions. With Huard he's given 1, maybe 2 options so he is getting rid of the ball quicker. For some reason, people have a hard time seeing that point though.
