    bromoose is refering his durability, not his ability to keep gaining yards after contact.

    Edit: I see NDmick covered it.

    I am sure that Shonn will be getting a lot of coaching this camp about when to fight for the extra inch and when to avoid the big hit. If he doesn't figure this out then his long term durability will definitely be an issue.

    I'm not too worried about the fumbling problem. It's not always the case, but a lot of times fumbling is a mental thing. I played 14 years of football and carried the ball thousands of times. I maybe fumbled the ball once a season, but one game I fumbled the ball it seemed like every time I touched it. I remember that game I was paying way too much attention to my hands and concentrating on not fumbling it, but it just caused me to cough up the ball because I was over thinking it.

    Now I have no idea what's going on in Greene's mind during games, but his fumbling problem did seem to happen all in the middle/late part of the season.

    I'm not too concerned about it now, as it isn't something that affected him in college and he seemed to get over it later in the season and in the playoffs.

    Thats very true, and in the worst case scenario we could always have Curtis Martin coach him up, that guy never fumbled

    Greene is a fumbling machine and thats something thats hard to fix, see Adrian Peterson. On the other hand CJ "afc east killer" Spiller had 0 fumbles in over 600 carries in his college career :)

    Tiki Barber says hello.
    Sounds like we have a new RaiderJeux.... Greene had zero fumbles in college too.

    How does it not piss you off, having psycho spelled wrong.

    Jared Gaither is a top 5 LT in this league. Also Wood and Levitre both have a year under their belts, our line will be fine.

    Even so Spiller is fast man, one move and he can take it to the house. He will be the Chuck Norris of football.

    Did I miss Gaither officially being traded to the bills? To avoid derailment, I would prefer no Spiller talk. This is about Greene.

    Spiller's looks like he's got the talent to be good in this league, but he's not gonna resurrect that franchise to the playoffs in one year. The only Jesus Christ in the league at the moment plays in the secondary of the Jets.

    at least he did it in a hip, cool way.

    and he changed it to Scik for a while.

    but this dude is awesome! and he is claiming that a RB will be a HOF behind the shittiest OL in the AFC. But he's tough! grrrrr

    theres no doubt we got a steal when we got Greene and i couldnt agree more about watching him light it up this season, but yes injury is always a concern for the majority of rb's in the nfl.
