I agree that Green wasn't as bad as everyone is making him out to have been. Granted, it took him a while to get going, and that needs to change. And, he wasn't able to hit a receiver all day, and that needs to change. But, I really liked what I saw from him when the pressure was on in the fourth quarter. What needed to happen was this:
- DA and Snoop need to make some plays. I'll grant them that they were playing aganist two top-flight CBs, and I'll admit that we needed to focus on the indise more in order to beat the Raiders. But, we DO need to be able to hit the wide outs once in a while. Green made a few bad throws, but there was a few catchable balls that weren't caught, too.
- Get Ricks involved in the game earlier! ESPECIALLY when, as I just said, we're not going to be able to go outside as much b/c of the great CBs. They were doubling up on Gonzo so much...I can't believe we didn't even throw to Ricks until the fourth. That was dumb.
- Get the RBs more involved. If we can't run the ball, the pass to them. Both Priest and T-Rich are billed as playmakers...so get them the damn ball. Richardson got it once in a while, but it needs to be more.
In summary, Green wasn't perfect, but he wasn't all bad, either. And he played well under pressure at the end. Even in this game, which seemed to be an off day for him, I'd rather have him than Elvis.
