T. Green Okay With Role in St. Louis
Veteran quarterback Trent Green said today he isn't upset about being demoted after only one start with the winless St. Louis Rams.
Green became the starter when former coach Scott Linehan benched Marc Bulger. But Linehan was fired after a loss to the Buffalo Bills and replacement Jim Haslett reinstalled Bulger as the starter.
"I told Scott I appreciated the opportunity," Green said in a telephone interview. "I understood the circumstances. I was brought here in the offseason to be Scott's backup. That was my role when I signed."
Green said he's surprised that the Rams have struggled so badly.
"It's very frustrating," he said. "You look at us on paper and the talent that we have, and we should be playing much better. We're getting beaten pretty good in all these games. That's what led to the coaching change, I'm sure, to see if guys would respond. I don't think it's what Scott did. At this level, I think that falls on the players.... If you'd have told me in training camp that things would go this way, I'd have been shocked. I thought guys were responding to Scott. I don't think any of us saw this coming."
