S - Mike Green

Surprised to see him end up with the Skins as i thought he was out of football after the Bears released him a couple years back. Solid enough guy, hope he plays a role for you.

Apologies if there is already a thread - I never noticed one.

We signed Michael Green not Mike Brown

Edited thread title... I wish I didn't have to... brown is a top notch safety when healthy.

P.S. Green was traded to Seattle, not cut.

Um, isn't Mike Brown still the Bears' starting free safety?

:oops:

Green had 100 tackles in 2002, not bad

Mike Green actually played for Chicago for 6 seasons, 4 under Greg Blache.

i just dont understand why we cut Justin Hamleton for him..

VetSkinsFan · Post by **VetSkinsFan** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 10:13 pm

We have 1 guy with any experience now, and that's Landry, if you even consider that experience. I would imagine that has something to do with it.

ChocolateMilk · Post by **ChocolateMilk** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 10:17 pm

yeah i guess, but i mean didnt hamleton have some experience with the browns? but then again mike green did play under blatche so that probably has a lot to do with it as well

The operative word there is "experience."

DOH! I did whiff! For shame! :lol:

Brown is actually one of my fave players and the guy that REALLY makes the Bears D tick - never mind Urlacher and Harris. But, yeah, I meant Green not Brown - thanks for the edit and covering up my temporary colour blindness.... Actually, a couple years back there was also a Gray that played in the same secondary as Brown and Green. No wonder I'm such an idiot.....er.....I mean, confused.

Anyway, point is, hope he does well for you.

Mike Green? Will they let him bring his stick out on the field?

I know little about Green and that only as a result of searches in the media and stats over the last 24 hours. From the little that I have been able to gather, he had a "severe foot injury" and that is why he was released. I am sure he will undergo or he has already undergone a physical exam. Any news about his foot injury? Is he ready to play -now-?

You probably would prefer a player of the "green" variety

I do agree with your assessment and I just hope the dude can play.

In addition to being a vet free safety, which is important with all our young safeties, he's also supposed to be a strong special teams player. Since Reed Doughty is out, who was a key ST guy, he is supposed to fill in both those gaps.

Hope he succeeds.

I just hope he's faster than Reed. I hate to see our guys get outrun when they have the angle.
