Green is actually too small for a RB but about the right size for a DB.
That's quite the opposite of what I see. He'll be going up against guys 3-4 inches taller than him.
Typical for a CB to be defending taller receivers. DB's have to be more agile to keep up with receivers who obviously know where their going to cut etc. thus DB's tend to be a bit smaller. Green has 4.4 speed so he should be able to hang with even the fastest receivers. Frankly that's been a big problem with our pass defense giving receivers 10 yard cushions apparently because we haven't had the talent/speed at those positions not to have receivers blow right by us.

His body lean is impressive.
I liked Green a RB also but we are obviously a lot deeper at RB than in the defensively backfield so the move makes sense to me.

The cushion had more to do with safety play than the abilities of our CBs.
Playing off often means that the safety isn't over top providing primary support. The safety might be bracketing another receiving target, providing run support, rolling coverage because of a blitz, or blitzing himself. All good reasons to back a cb off the line of scrimmage.
