They also caught Green from behind that game, too; late in the 3rd quarter was one example (and thank Goodness Doctson recovered the fumble!).

He ran a 4.6 at the combine. How is my comment regarding someone (DB's) being able to catch him a joke? Can we not be realistic about players on here? Great blocker, shifty, and elusive, but he stutter-steps and lacks the acceleration at the next level. If I'm dead wrong, why wasn't he drafted in the top 2 rounds?Boykin4Prez said:

2 posters are arguing that BJ was never caught from behind, so I appreciate your comment with some realism.SwissArmyFrog said:
I'm not saying that Green is unstoppable either. Green is not as good of a blocker, but in the open field, I would want the ball with Green more than any other RB on our 2014 roster. With our new spread attack, Green is better suited. I think he accelerates and finds holes faster than BJ. He shakes defenders so well.
I thank BJ for his service, but it's time he started applying for a real job.

I guess Catalon realized that his TCU playing days were over, and thought, "What the heck? I might as well give the NFL a shot - never know unless you try."
If BJ has his degree, I don't disagree with his giving the NFL a shot, regardless of the odds of catching on. Of course, faced with the prospect of taking on a RB who's next concussion would automatically induce retirement (an assumption, I know), I can understand no NFL team taking a look.

Green's situation was interesting. 5 star out of high school, IIRC, but not making an impact at Nebraska...was he going to be a high school star who (for whatever reason) couldn't bring it to college?
I think Catalon's injury was the main key in Green's explosion - he wasn't used much at Nebraska, and didn't get a great deal of time his first year at TCU - to me, looking back, he kind of got 'out of practice' through lack of game activity. He was significantly better when 2015 started, but when he became 'the guy' after Catalon's injury, its like he exploded back to his high school form.
He got the opportunity to play his way back to his best form.

Green played his true freshman year at Nebraska. It's very hard to do that anywhere D1. AG's problem was that Ameer Abdullah jumped him on the depth chart. You saw how many touches AA got. Just not a lot of room for Green there.
Ended up working out for him.
Yeah. The ole "there are clips online but can't be linked". Including the KO return where he torched everyone (baylor), I don't remember him running free and getting caught. He must be thinking of Green.Boykin4Prez said:
When the lights were on he was quite a bit faster than his combine number. Same with a lot of players. Not everyone trains to run 40s the way the combine wants it.
I'll hang up and wait for the linkies.
Green isn't as fast as Catalon. At least not in pads. Plenty fast with better vision and better feet but when BJ got a crease it was church for the other team. I think he had a long TD vs OU last year and he was way faster than 4.6 or the entire ou secondary were pulling plows behind them.SwissArmyFrog said:

I like Green because he seems to take care of the ball. There for a while, every time BJ got the ball I would cringe waiting for a traditional fumble or for him to get blown up and fumble. That said, in my eyes both BJ and Green are great frogs who have handled themselves with manners and integrity, and I appreciate that in this day and age.

You're 100% right on Green, and not saying that BJ didn't do the same overall, but wasn't BJ suspended around the same time Waymon James was?

BJ looked pretty fast when he took that kick to the house against LSU and they have some fast guys on their squad!

That was a great game when we whipped your a.$.$. 45-10 in 2010. I believe that game was 35-3 at halftime. I don't think Catalon was on that team, though.BU24601 said:

How the hell could that game possibly get condensed down to 14 minutes? There were like 230 plays.BU24601 said:

BJ with his talents should be in the NFL. The reason he is not, the concussions. You can't bring a guy like that who had a concussion that knocked him out for almost half the season. NFL players hitting him like Texas Tech and West Virginia did they would have a head injury lawsuit on their hands.
If BJ could of stayed healthy and had no concussions, what he did alone against LSU would of made teams want to draft him.
