But the story lists him as one of those who "face extremely long odds of making the team"

Probably. ESPN says he could be a “surprise”, whatever that means. From what I’ve seen and read, in the NFL it’s all about being where the ball is gonna be since it’s already in the air while you’re running the route. The skills and the closing speeds of the DBs make it tough on the receiver. Of course, there’s blown assignments and open spots in a zone to find. They tend to say that in college, the QBs throw mostly to open receivers, while in the NFL, the QBs throw the receivers open  I don’t know where Green falls in the skill set I mentioned, but he can certainly catch the ball...he proved that.  I wish him luck. One or two years in the league will give someone a decent start on life.

Green released by Falcons...strong candidate for practice squad.

That was my guess, looking at the depth chart and Falcons beat writer 53 predictions.

1 pm today. Juwan Green is active today vs G-Men. Based on their first two games, he should be running free all day!

Jarren Williams playing for the Giants today. Just got called for a penalty on a punt.

He also had 3 total tackles, 1 solo, 2 assists.

The Giants coach may be available after our 2022 football season.....to be our head coach 

[jimbo]

The Giants have a covid problem hitting their DBs hard. Jarred Williams is expected to be elevated to the active roster and could be a starter against the Cowboys (gulp). Adding to the drama....Williams has been limited in practice this week while dealing with the flu!

Jarren Williams was waived by the Giants on Aug 5 with an injury (hamstring) settlement.

Not sure if any of you have been paying attention but Jared Verse had a very good season at Florida State. I’ve seen a few sites that have him a top 10 pick in the 2023 draft.
 

Gattuso finds talented guys, just can’t win with them.
