All of this "production" talk with Greene is a bit misconstrued. He's barely seen the field on offense in the regular season.

He's never started a game and has limited snaps in 13 total regular season games.  I'm not sure what great production we're supposed to expect from the kid. If he stays healthy and the Jags suffer any injuries at WR he's a solid option to take over the slot receiver role.

I suppose Mickens has grabbed the bull by the horns more with his receiving opportunities, but maybe I'm just worried there's some flukiness involved as opposed to sustainability. I could be wrong about that.

Then there's the return stuff:

Mickens:  27 Punt Returns -  287 yards - 10.6 yd avg  - Long 72-yds - 3 fumbles (on PR) 

Greene:   39 punt returns - 432 yards  -  11.1 yd avg -  Long  73 yds - 5 fumbles 

They are practically identical returners statistically.

I don't see how it's at all misconstrued. Like I said, his history is one of injuries and fumbles (and arguing with the fans).

If you want to argue that Mickens doesn't belong in the roster either then that's fine, but there's not much room to argue that Greene is likely to have an impact beyond whatever Mickens will have.
