Kirwan says Pats may have interest in Roderick Green of the 49ers

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Listening to Kirwan on the Sirius NFL channel just now and there was a Patriots fan who asked him what he thought of who the Pats would sign at a very slim OLB depth.

Burress was not mentioned because at this point its probably more smoke than fire but Kirwan expects the Pats to at least talk to McGinest and says the Pats may have an interest in Roderick Green of the 49ers who he says is available but I thought he was under contract with the Niners,Isn't he?.

Also,wasn't Green arrested for Marijuana and some other charges earlier this year?

Don't know much about Roderick other than him being in trouble and have never seen him play...Anyone?

There's some info in his wiki, including this gem.

According to deadspin.com, Green received the lowest known score of any NFL player on the Wonderlic test, getting only 3 questions correct out of 50.

McGinest? Really? Wow.

McGinest? Really? Wow.

3 out of 50 questions? - That may be as close to a challenged individual as it can get.

Yeah,He said McGinest is one he expected the Pats to take interest in seeing that there are few veteran OLBs available left at a realistic cap number for the team.

Of course there can always be a trade for a solid veteran OLB to hope for.

Jeez, who's next on the Patriots' radar?

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

I hope they don't go after Rodrick Green. That guy is garbage.

 

[nashvillepatsfan]

Jeez, who's next on the Patriots' radar?

next thing they report will be "Patriots interested in trading a second rd pick for Vrabel"

Jeez, who's next on the Patriots' radar?

since the patriots have lost vrabel,izzo, ,harrison, seau there is a little leadership role void, willie mcginest is the godfather ,according to brady, so bringing him in for that,also to be a stuational pass rusher with the young guys doing the dirty work actaully does make some sense

I would be all for Mcginest coming back.
But NO THANKS to Roderick Green.

3 out of 50. That is insane and hard to do. Just answering randomly should get you on average 12.5 right.

Funny since Kirwin was on the Julius Peppers bandwagon as late as the Friday before the draft. He said on WEEI the Friday morning before the draft that he thought the Peppers trade would happen on draft day. Maybe he was just backing up his fellow NFL.com Vic Carruci on his story or something.

I don't know how he thought the Pats would figure out how to fit Peppers under the cap and now state the Pats can only afford washed up players that no one rerally wants or never was' that no one really wants.

I can't see Roderick Green being anything more than depth and special teams. Here is what Scout Inc has to say about the guy (they give him a grade of 49 which is a below average back up/special teams specialist):

Green is a backup OLB and special team's contributor. He is a good system fit who was originally drafted by the Ravens when Mike Nolan was the defensive coordinator. He has contributed mainly on special teams units throughout his career and has some size and functional play strength. He is more natural on the outside than inside in the 49ers' 3-4 defense. Gren is an above-average technician who has strong hands to set the edge of the defense, but is not real explosive in his stack and shed ability. He has some play speed and can close down off the backside. He flashes the ability to create pressure off the edge as a pass rusher. However, he lacks the speed and quickness to bend the edge and consistently close on the QB. He is not real natural off his zone drops and struggles to play under control in open space. Green has limited awareness when reacting to pattern recognition on the backend and he lacks the ability and skill set to match up in underneath man-to-man situations.

I don't know how he is much of an upgrade of anyone the Pats have on their roster.

It's akin to spelling your own name wrong. Aye carumba!

This man is a professional journalist and his opinions should be taken seriously by the so-called "experts" on this board!

I think you get two points just for writing your name correctly... but in all fairness to him, Roderick is a tough name to spell.
