Hey guys,

You’re right for calling out the height difference, I should have been more specific. I meant more in the style sense is that he’ll be their straight-ahead power runner in their 3-man backfield as opposed to Leon’s speed and TJ’s every-day skills.

My mistake, I should have been clearer. Thanks for clearing it up for everyone.

I don’t like comparing Greene to Jacobs.. People forget that Jacobs is extremely tall for a RB.. I think Jacobs is 6′4″, 260ish.. a complete beast..

Shonn is more like 5′10″ 230.. in Jones-Drew or, even better, Michael Turner territory..

I like the idea of finding diamonds in the ruff. But I want to see how the season unfolds before I declare RR coach of the year. I fell victim to last year’s KOOL AID b4 we crashed and burned ( ala my NY METS) so hopefully everything will unfold like its sounding.

Frank,

Adrian Peterson isnt the same size as Jacobs, but he’s a much better running back.

I’m not saying anything to hype Greene or knock Jacobs, all i’m saying is the comparison is based simply on their ability to knock people over. No one is saying Greene will be able to do what Jacobs does, just saying they’re similar.

I would love Greene to be as good as Jacobs but to be honest, they’re not even in the same universe physically — Jacobs is 6′4″ and 264 lbs according to NFL.com, and Greene is 5′11″ 227 lbs. That’s a BIG linebacker size guy as opposed to a decent sized safety. Hopefully Greene is faster and more agile but people are literally afraid to tackle Jacobs – don’t think they’ll be afraid to tackled Greene.

You can tell that Rex knows how to win. His first statement sums it up. You have to have players who will run through brick walls for you. Wayne Chrebet comes to mind. Cotchery may not be considered a number one receiver by many of you but, he is that type of a player. Rex is going to sort through these players and if Jamaal Westerman (an undrafted FA) is that type of player — he will start instead of Gholston. Let the wars begin.

First off, Green reminds me of Jamal Anderson, a fast, big and hard running back. Secondly, I think great things are gonna happen for the Jets, starting with Rex Ryan as HC, Mark Sanchez, as our QB, and Shonn Green as our RB, not to mention the totally dominating defense we will field each season under coach Ryan. I predict a SB is just around the corner.

I know there is a need at WR. But I can’t imagine diva’s like Braylon Edwards or Plaxico playing for Rex

I dont know how rex is going to coah but he is just a great guy to have in this organization……Guys will want to play for him….

UDFA’s have already proven that to some degree
