what do you think of forte and shonn green as starters?

Shonne Green. Yes. LT will get some carries, but Green will be the guy. Forte concerns me with them giving 7 mil for Chester Taylor for one year.. But in the "martz" offense he could be good

Eh, you could do better with Green and Forte. Personally, I'm not sold on Green, and even Forte's rookie season he didn't even average 4.0 yards per carry.

Forte's play is directly correlated with Cutler. Because Cutler failed last season, teams weren't afraid to put an extra man in the box to defend against the run. If Martz and Cutler can open up the offense, Forte could end up being a solid rusher, but he's a RB2 at best.

The good thing about Forte is that he catches quite a few passes out of the backfield as well, so that's a bonus.

What scares you about Green? The Jets ran the ball the most last season and that will not change unless Sanchez starts to step up. LT will run a little but Green will obvisously be the guy. Strong, fast, best Oline in the game.... what else do you want?

good to here

my money league was 14 teams deep which made the draft very hard

Greene is just not that great, IMO.

He's slow to the hole, and doesn't have the speed to break out the long plays.
