CB Eric Green Released

Saw this on Twitter ... I'm surprised it happened so fast. He looked awful on Monday night, but I figured he would get a shot to redeem himself.

Nathan Jones and Jason Allen will likely both make the team at CB ... and here I thought for sure Jason Allen would be a goner during camp this year.

 

Saw this coming. I'm just glad they pulled the trigger early, unlike with Chris Crocker. I take this to mean they have confidence in Jason Allen as well.

 

Thank god. Good for the front office for acting quickly.

 

this actually surprises me. I thought he would have more chances

 

somewhat surprising but i think its really for the better.

 

Whats the cap hit? I think we have enough space to afford it.

 

wow I didnt see this coming, not this early.......

 

I think they will sign a veteran, just like they did with Conor Barth. Sean Smith is a rookie. If he realizes he has no competition, he will start to slack off. I know Vontae could steal it away from him, but its unlikely.

But its a good move since you will give the guys who will play some playing time

Caught me way offguard though

But its for the good. If he was getting burned by the Jaguar's 2nd string WR's, then he wasnt even good to be an injury backup

 

He was awful. Its not like the Jags have great Wideouts either.

 

Green was beyond bad on Monday, IMO.

They seem to have seen what a lot of us on here saw and decided to pull the trigger quick.

 

so much for that chip on his shoulder

 

Wow, so does this mean that everyone who was watching Modi's stream was vindicated in chat when calling for his head?

 

I think a sportswriter just put out a list of 53 with Green above J.Allen too. Lol.

 

Fired!!!

 

This may be the best thing for Green after Mondays game his chances of making it on the team was not very good. Now Green has chance to get picked up by another team and get playing time in before preseason ends.

 

I really don't think they'll bring in another veteran.
Jason Allen is on his 4th year and Nate Jones is on his 6th year. I doubt there is any one out there at this time better than who we already have.
Think of it this way. Green is cut, but Allen and Jones are still on the team.
I would not be surprised if Jason Allen (or maybe Davis) ended up as our 3rd CB behind Smith and Will Allen.

 

The Mad Dod Jim Mandich says that the team has its periscope up, and may be looking at Ty Law.

 

wow, I think there would be alot of cussing on this board if true

 

LOL I was just about to post that

 

I hope we don't have to do that. I'd prefer it if Jones and Allen showed enough for the staff to have confidence in them. It would also be much better for our STs.

 

As much as amything, I think this shows the confidence they already have in Super Sean......oh yeah, and that Green is really not very good.....at all

 

I hope this doesn't mean #16 will see more playing time..

 

Wow, bit surprised this would happen so early. Figured he'd at least get another shot. Maybe he was lookin pretty awful in practice too though. Maybe this clears the way for a veteran free agent to be brought in in the next few days?

 

Not surprised at all what this team does anymore.We are in capable hands and I agrre with this move.
Just another motivational tactic by the big 3 to light a fire under the other DB's arses.
I recall being a bit shocked when they let go of our biggest Offensive weapon before last season,..........Jay Feely.......... Carpenter seemed to pick up his game as a rookie.What does this mean for Sean Smith?

 

I suppose it never hurts to bring a guy in for a tryout. But at 35 I have my doubts as to whether or not he could be better than Jason Allen or Jones.

 

I think Miami will wait till the beginning of the season to bring a veteran in because then their contract won't be guaranteed

 

That's a good point.

 

Yep. Classy move.

 

And whoever said pre season doesn't matter? LOL. just ask eric green. It will be interesting to see who they will list as the starter... vontae or sean smith. based on our first pre season game, it should be sean smith.

 

If they list Davis over Smith I'm going to send Sparano some anti-depressants because he's obviously suicidal and wanting to get shot by Bill Parcells.

 

i think both should start next game to really see who's better. than the front office will know who the starter is before week 3 of the pre season.

So week 3 will be will allen and whoever has a better game in week 2 of the pre season.

 

I don't think it's even close. That's almost akin to saying we should have Hilliard start a game just to see if he or Ronnie Brown should start.

I would guess that right now the closer question is whether Davis is ahead of Jones and/or J. Allen.

 

If i remember right it was Green you are FIRED

 

i agree but didnt Davis come in during first team when the jags came out in 3-4 wide sets? he didnt execute, i hope for more next time

 

An example had to be made. Make plays or find a job elsewhere.

You have to love how the front office operates, no-nonsense and they know what they are doing. Feels good to be a Dolphins fan.

 

Why shouldn't he? He played better than Green.

didn't catch me by surprise
that should build a fire under the team

 

That might be good to see what one the other team picks on and how he handles it. Could be a good idea, since we noticed when Green came in he was a turnstyle. But you never know.
