Toronto a Mike Foligno leaps with Joy after scoring against Detroit Green eager to face cowboys Challenge by Vito Stellino the Baltimore Sun Ashburn a. A at 5 feel a inches Dariell Green is never going to have a Chance to play against Michael Jordan but head like the Opportunity. A a in a like to see Michael Jordan slam Dunk on me to say i was there a the Washington redskins cornerback said earlier this week. Green likes to be there in the Middle of things and that a where hell be sunday when the redskins take on the Dallas cowboys. Green will be involved in one of the feature matchup of the game when he takes on wide revolver Michael Irvin of the cowboys and he a eager to face the Challenge. T done to know if the basketball Guys who be got Green to Stop Michael Jordan get As excited As i do because 11 s going to be a Long night for the but i have the Opportunity to take on some of the greatest athletes in the world in a one on one situation. I have made my career pretty much doing that. You a in some and you lose some. That a my ability to do it my take my lumps and line up for the next  he Aid. Green took his lumps from Irvin last year. Ibs inability to Stop Irvin was one of the major Reav is the redskins failed in their quest for a perfect season. 1 he redskins were 11-0 when Irvin caught nine p i ses for 130 Yards and a touchdown a mainly against Green a to help the cowboys hand the redskins their first loss of the season. The redskins Only other loss in their 17-2 super bowl season came in the finale against the Philadelphia eagles. Irvin also caught five passes in the opener against the redskins this year but both Irvin and Green were coming off holdouts. A anytime someone catches a Ball on me. It bothers me a Green said. Quot in be covered most of the top Guys and it does no to matter who it is. I feel that Way whether they catch any balls or nine balls a he said. Irvin is having another Good season. He a fourth in the National football conference in catches with 02 and second to Sterling Sharpe of the Green Bav packers in receiving Yards at 1,150. He stopped the 100-Yard receiving figure in live games. The fact lies playing Well makes Green More eager to take him on. Quot i enjoy sports. I enjoy playing football. I might have been a wide receiver if i could catch but i  catch. I enjoy the Competition the Battles with wide receivers a he said. Green rates Irvin with Jerry Rice of the san Francisco 49ers, Roy Green of the Philadelphia eagles and Mike Quick the former eagles receiver who has retired at the top of his of n list. Green said there a nothing Quot mystical or magical about Irvine a Success against him. A i just see it As a quarterback Troy Aikman and a wide receiver making great execution. I done to think there a any cause for me to retire. In a the first to say congratulations. But i think everything is still in place. Its still a great wide receiver going against a pretty decent cornerback a a he said. Green Isnit exactly in top form right now because it will be Only his third Start since coming Back from a broken forearm he suffered in the second game of the year. He has an ugly scar running the length of his forearm after having a plate placed in it. Quot in a not feeling exactly the Way id like to feel Quot he said. A but i have no excuses. That is not something i will say Cost me. When i line up there in a saying in a ready to go out and do the Job and believe i can get the Job done a he said. Not Allol Irvin s greens catches have come against Green because the redskins play one on occasion but Green knows they All go in his column. Quot it sounds very prideful for me to Point that out. No he did no to catch every pass on me. But that comes with the territory a he said at 6-2, Irvin has a five Inch height advantage but Green downplays that fact. A the question is when the Ball arrives Are you in position the Ball has to come Down. It does no to matter about Sie a he said. In the end it just comes Down to whether Green can make the plays. A a in be gone against All these great All pro Guys in a either going to be in their Hall of Fame film or Thetie going to be in mine. They re either going to run me out of the league or in a going to run them out. Hey i can hang with them. In be got More winning Days than losing Days because when it starts going the other was. You the not Here a Green said. At age 32, Green Hopes to prove sunday lies going to be Here for a while longer
