Who covers Rashad Greene?

I think Corn and Artie will be able to keep him in check. I just dont wanna see our Secondary give up WIDE OPEN TD's. The formula of every upset bid I seen was total blown coverages by every team. Cant make it easy on them.

Corn has the quicks to stay with him. Nobody shuts Greene down tho. I think he's the only one that can have some success.

Yeah, one major major concern is the way Winston extends the play and Greene gets wide open. We need to limit that as much as possible but Greene will get his somehow.

I say we double him with a CB and S, limit him and make Winston have to find someone else.
 
Lane has like 9 catches on the year. If he beats us, you tip your cap. Not worried about him. As others have mentioned, Winston often throws it to a spot and Greene is there. You have to pressure Winston and disrupt Greene so they can't do that. If we go passive Greene will go for over 200 just on 15 yard crossing routes alone, most coming on 3rd and 10.

I feel like we need to jam Greene and disrupt the timing of his routes. If we bracket him with a safety we can keep him from getting deep and hopefully frustrate Winston. Kids going to get some catches, we have to limit him after the catch and make hi life miserable all game.

Those being sent on A and B gap blitzes and DL with their hands up are the only defenders who will have significant success against him.

Anyone but Tracy. He just isn't physical enough IMO. He was man handled to tears last yr with their physical wr's.

Greene isn't a physical WR. He's all quicks and precision. We don't have a DB who would be overwhelmed by him physically. If he gets free releases, and Jemima has time, they will eat us up.
 
I don't have the right answer but I'd say that if Tracy were covering him all night, Greene goes for ~200 yards.

Burns is our best cover corner. so he needs to stick him. Gunter needs to be at safety like he has played the last 3 games and tracy on wilson who is very fast but tracy should be able to keep up.
