I didn’t think we had interest but this is great news!

I still think Sparano like Parcells has done in the past, wants to have a pass rush oriented defense where the CB’s are helped out by the work of the DL and the LB’s. Safe sign, get another via the draft………we’re good.

Believe in The Code

But I like the signing.

I was hoping for Bodden… but am just happy there is another guy as an option.

If he got more the Bodden, Bad Signing. If he gets more than K. Lucas, Bad Signing. If he got 1-2 years at a low price ($1mil / year), Good Signing.

I don’t like the fact that he was a healthy inactive for Arizona though. They were one of the worst pass defenses in the league last year.

Feels like the end of the night when you have been partying and you think you are completely out of beer..then in the depths of the refrigerator you find an old Natural Light Ice…….It’s not really what you were looking for but you feel “really good” just to have something!

I still don’t think this affects our draft at all, but it does upgrade our Nickel and Dime package I believe. We still need to draft a CB fairly early, because whether Green is a legit starter or not, we need depth and we need an eventual replacement for Will Allen.

This, to me, reminds me of the Charlie Anderson/Reggie Torbor moves. Quality depth.

how can this guy drop from starter to healthy inactive in one season, thats nuts, this can’t be a good sign…and i am hoping that we got him CHEAP

he WAS replaced by a stud….so it’s not as if the guy behind him wasnt any good. I like the fact that he is a homegrown boy, only 27, 33 career starts, and he is a former VTech corner…i like them. Size is good.

This makes me feel a little better..

if DR-C is the one who replaced him – remember that he was a first round draft pick making decent money so there may have been some pressure to start him because of the $$, not to mention just to see what he had. As to why he wasn’t a nickel or even dime back I don’t know. Could be because he was awful, could be because he had escalators in his contract. Just some food for thought before you get too down on the signing.

not sure why they did this… no idea what his contract is at but …. there were a NUMBER of CB’s in his price range that are better…

It’s funny how at one point people like bringing him in…and when we sign him they hate it.

This wont be a groundbreaking salary cap clogging signing…so i wouldnt worry. this is a move to get experiance…and upside. we’ll still draft someone early…and this kid will get the best coaching of his life. he is still young and was a 3rd rd pick the same yr ronnie came out…

like matty said..“this would be a upgrade over what we have”…

any player we get that grew up a phins fan is automatically on my good side anyway

thats all this brings…..just a move to provide depth as most of you said already. I wouldnt say this brings upside. the guy couldnt get on the field…not even in nickel situations.

i read somewhere that Bodden turned down a pretty big offer from the Pats… earlier before agreeing to a 1 yr deal, if the Pats dont Tag him next season. if that is what he was asking for… it wouldn;t have made sense for the Phins.

Feels like the end of the night when you have been partying and you think you are completely out of beer..then in the depths of the refrigerator you find an old Natural Light Ice…….It’s not really what you were looking for but you feel "really good" just to have something!

They signed a corner. Whether its for depth or start or whatever, there is something this kid has that they like. Come draft time I am sure we’ll get Butler. Can’t we have some faith in the trifecta rather than pile on?

NY Fins Fan, no offense but I think you’re beginning to sound like the fans of the team in your city. Always critical all the time. You make good points but be positive for once man!!!!! I wish they signed Bodden too, but they didn’t. (OK a little harsh, forgive me for that)

I can be a negative nelly and say

They should have got Brown, but got Grove
Should have got Bodden, but got Green

But what’s done is done and the season has yet to begin. These two might do something good.

But they might do something bad as well, but at this point we don’t know.

Let’s see what happens at the draft and trust that the Tri knows what they’re doing.

and his agent went looking around for competition and found none. So he can back and took what we offered? Hopefully

Green is a four-year veteran who the Cardinals drafted in the third round of the 2005 draft. He has excellent size, speed and athleticism for the position. He is smooth, explosive and can extend the cushion with his pedal and transition to close on the ball in front of him or to the sides. He has fluid hips which he can flip to turn and run with receivers deep and he has a burst to catch up when receivers get a step on him. His biggest issues are his lack of concentration and lapses of techniques. He tends to gamble and can get out of position, overestimating his ability to make the play. He has average ball skills when he can get in the area and has just one interception in his first three years, that coming his rookie season. He is not timid about getting involved, but could be more physical in run support. He pretty much needs to be 100 percent healthy to play effectively and could be tougher, mentally.

jason allen is your starting CB….ny fin fan made a good point because allen did play really well against those guys.(marshall &evans) as for the td’s to moss…..they do say “you got mossed” for a reason ….shit happens man.

play out during the draft and training, the FO couldnt draft all new CBs so they got someone to fill in while the 2 new draftees come up to speed. At least I’m hoping they get 2 stud CBs , as well as a NT and LB.

how many games he started?

and had 32 tackles, 6 PDs, and 1 int.

Will Allen started in 16 games and had 50 tackles, 18 PDs, and 3 ints.

Ok so, he’s a bit worse than Will Allen in pass coverage, but the numbers say he makes the tackle when he doesn’t defend the pass. He really doesn’t sound that bad to me.

All the people talking shit probably haven’t watched him play a single game and are going off the fact that he was benched. You have no idea what kind of relationship he had with the coaching staff. Edgerin James was benched. Anquon Boldin was very disgruntled. That does not reflect well on the coaching staff and FO.

This guy looks like our version of Travis Daniels. Hey wait! Travis Daniels was actually signed and it was before Green! LOL! I’m not too excited about his one, I’m still waiting on the draft.

“I’m Eric Green….deal with it!”

Why do you have a picture of this dude at the club?

he looks high as hell. feelin burnt lately eric.

does anybody on this site actually think the trifecta plans on starting this guy or hes the answer? He was brought in for special teams, some offseason competition, and as depth… Thats it!!

Dont get me wrong i will welcome him as a dolphins player and wish him the best of luck and great success
