Eric Green has given up 3 long touchdown passes in the past 3 practices. That was the knock on him in Arizona (getting beat deep too often). If he keeps playing that way he'll be lucky to make the team.
 
IMO he was a terrible signing to begin with, but our hand was forced due to need of depth and the ridiculous money other teams overpaid for "better" FA CBs.
 
I dont get phased much by an OTA in shorts. being excited or dejected by play in this will cause dementia
 
The deal was only like a two year deal. So, if he continues to struggle it wouldn't be that much of a hit if Miami cuts him. That being said, it's still June. It's early.
 
Yes but he still needs to show he can cover a receiver. It's a good thing we drafted Vontae Davis and Sean Smith. Remember, Eric Green was beaten out by a rookie in Arizona and he has never been anything special in the NFL to begin with so for us to expect him to suddenly blossom in Miami is a big stretch
 
This could be a golden opportunity for a guy like Jason Allen imo. If Green continues to struggle then Jason Allen could move up the ladder with a good camp.
 
1- it's only OTAs

2- there's no paddings on

3- following point 2, eric green is a physical corner, so when the pads are out, he's bound to struggle, the "rules" of the OTAs don't play to the advantage of any physical corner

Jason Allen is a goner. You dont pay that kind of money to at best your 4th best corner

True but whether you're in shorts or a miniskirt you still need to show you can cover a receiver deep

Well the OTA report from this morning said that Jason Allen made a heck of a play on a pass intended for Anthony Armstrong. Allen went up high and fought for the ball and came down with it

If Jason Allen is not a starter there is not reason to keep him and ay his contract
