DGB made a key block on a 71-yard touchdown run by DeMarco Murray in Saturday night's preseason game. But later, on a go route when the Titans wanted to throw deep to Green-Beckham up the left side, he didn't run hard off the line.

"I think we made too many mistakes with DGB early [Saturday night]," head coach Mike Mularkey said. "I would have liked to see him have a chance to make that play on the go route. I thought his release was poor, which immediately gives you no chance on the deep ball."

Robinson, who traded Green-Beckham to the Eagles on Tuesday, wants nothing to do with that sort of effort and mentality. It's a mentality, by the way, that will get Green-Beckham crushed in Philadelphia by a far less-forgiving fan base.
Jon Robinson sends strong message by dealing Dorial Green-Beckham - Tennessee Titans Blog- ESPN

I remember reading this about him last year as well - great talent, needs to step up his work ethic to be something other than short term mediocre.
He's got talent and measurables - no doubt. However, he's not going to DJax a corner and will need to outwork them. I bet Norman/Breeland have his tendencies studied and down pat by the time they play.
