Moronic move by Wade.

Some times Jerry is pound foolish. He might have saved Glenn's salary and cost us a TD in NE game.

Although I didn't like Glenn being cut by the Cowboys at the time, I think Wade made the right decision. Glenn doesn't play special teams as Nate does and Glenn was going to limit the playing time of Reeves.

I'm glad to see that Glenn still has it, but he wasn't going to help the 'Boys that much. Parcells called this type of player a 'Progress Stopper', an aging vet who was holding back the progress of younger players.

We went through the same non-sense last year with the Saints.

Everyone went nuts about letting the Coach of the Year and now what?

Silence. Crickets at best.

There were also people complaining the Saints had all our leftover LBers and how foolish it was letting them go.

So we struggled in pass coverage against the Patriots... you don't build a team to specifically beat another team - especially an out of conference team.

How many teams actually have 4 CBs that can contain the Pats?

Get over it people, with Henry back our secondary is that much better.

It wasn't just cuz of his one good play, it's because of the complete lack of good plays from Nate Jones.

Anyone who says it was a great move to keep Nate Jones over Aaron Glenn definitely has a blue Kool Aid moustache over their upper lip. Jerry got cheap and tried to save a million in a year where we had ample cap space. It cost us depth at one of the most critical positions on the team, and we've paid for it several times this year ... and likely will again a few more times before the season is over.

well Nate Jones wouldnt be out there much, if at all...if not for our injury situation

but to be honest, there was not much difference between Glenn and Jones in preseason...both got burned alot, both are smallish guys...the difference was one guy was alot older and made alot more money

also, didnt they cite the fact Glenn doesnt play on any special teams units as another reason they let him go?

Who could have predicted we would have had injuries at the CB position? I mean, other than the fact that Newman couldn't play all preseason and there was no telling when he would be able to return and Anthony Henry is 30+ and hasn't stayed healthy since he came to the Cowboys, no one could have predicted injuries at the CB position.

Does any one remember if Glenn played on special teams at all ? If he didn't that's probably what it came down to.That,and I am sure they were not counting on two starting corners going down that close together.All in all letting him go, at worst,cost us the Pats game.Personally I don't think we would have won it with everyone healthy.I do believe should we meet them again we can beat them as long as we are healthy.

When there is a claim, like you both made about how terrible Glenn was at the TC, then you are suppose to provide supporting data to support your claims, that's how it works. If you can't back it up with evidence, then it becomes your opinion, not factual.

I'm not saying you guys are right or wrong, just saying supporting data is needed to support your claim.

Here's one of those reports (by Vela) on how horrible Aaron Glenn looked in camp.

Aaron Glenn showed great spark in the drills, building on a strong morning practice. The old guy still has his zip, though he seemed to tweak a hamstring or groin late in practice, gimping over the sideline and watching the remainder on one knee.Here's a quote from a Todd Archer article about our nickel defense:

With the Cowboys, Phillips and Stewart said they have pieces in place to put together a top third-down defense, from the pass rushers such as Ware and Ellis to reliable veteran Aaron Glenn as the third corner. They also have the blitzing of safety Roy Williams and the coverage and pressure skills of linebacker Bobby Carpenter.More evidence of Glenn sucking in camp.

4:25 -- Aaron Glenn almost had a pick when Johnson tried to force an out route to Miles Austin. The ball went off Glenn's chest. ... Glenn, by the way, is lined up at right CB in the dime package. They put Terence Newman in the slot.More about Glenn sucking:

3:05 -- You keep Aaron Glenn and Anthony Henry because they're the second and third best cornerbacks on this team.He obviously didn't show that he still had skills in practice. Oh wait..

• Cornerback Aaron Glenn used all of his 5-9 frame to intercept a deep Jay Cutler pass intended for Javon Walker in the afternoon session.Oh, you want some more?

Backup Aaron Glenn is a genetic marvel and looks like he's 25. But he's not. He's 35, and he's scheduled to make $1.7 million this season. Although he remains in peak physical condition and is technically sound, at some point his body no longer will be able to hold up.Clearly, these are just aberrations, what with all the DAILY reports of Glenn sucking in camp.

Aaron Glenn said he thinks the Cowboys have a good group of cornerbacks. Wade Phillips disagreed after watching Glenn, Jacques Reeves and Alan Ball get beat for touchdowns tonight.


"We played a lot [of guys] at corner to see who would do something," Phillips said, "and we didn't see anything."


Phillips said this week that he was concerned about the lack of quality depth at cornerback. Consider it a huge problem if Terence Newman's plantar faciitis doesn't get better.


The Cowboys attempted to address the issue earlier this month. They inquired about trading for Dante Wesley, but the Bears opted to send him to New England for a conditional seventh-rounder.

Nate Jones had a big part in the loss to the Pats. With AG the outcome might of been different.
Unlikely.

I liked Aaron glenn, I know he is a close friend of terrance newman now and a guy many looked up to.

Having said that, Glenn was beat twice on the final drive of the game and both balls were overthrown, if either had been on target they would have been walk in game winning td's thrown at glenn. He was roasted by ike hilliard on a out and up. Glenn bought the double move hook line and sinker.

I wonder if there would have been a glad we didnt keep glenn thread?

Sometimes I wonder if people expressing their opinions actually watch football games or just argue for the sake of being wrong.

No one who watched that game would be saying anything other than Glenn looked absolutely awful. He was beaten like a red-headed stepchild all game long but scores a TD thanks to being so far out a position that a terrible throw hits him in the hands and he's a savior.

Wonder why it takes some armchair experts until week eight to pimp Glenn? Simple, he's been so terrible that he couldn't even make their active roster until a ton of injuries. His guaranteed salary is the only reason he was still on the Jags roster. There was no benefit at all to cutting him.

People have been *****ing about cutting Glenn every week that Nate Jones gets abused. And that's, well, every week.

Glenn isn't a great CB. He does get beat. But he's better than Nate Jones, and that's the problem everyone has with cutting him.

Yeah, that was a remarkably stupid personnel move.

I will never understand it.

People can talk about how old Glenn is getting but he was a solid guy for us in his position...Certainly better than all but two of the corners we have now, and those two corners are injured!

you want to know what happened to him? he is in the endzone...just ran a INT back

WHO CARES???

No, but I've watched Nate Jones week in and week out.

I figured you hadn't.


Anybody who had would understand that while Jones may be mediocre at best, Glenn looks gawdawful. The double move to beat him deep might have been the worst corner play I've ever seen in the NFL given the situation.

Who would try to jump an out with under a minute left with no help over the top?


People remember when Glenn used to be good and have attached that romanticized nostalgia to their opinions. I'd love to have the Aaron Glenn from two years ago on this Dallas roster. Unforturnately that Aaron Glenn no longer exists.

So, basically he played the typical Nate Jones game, except the interception and TD return part.

Booyah.


By the way, what was the final score? Oh, they won by a point, right?


So w/o Glenn's TD they lose?



Again, yeah I'd take Glenn over Jones.

That's not "all we ever do" but no doubt keeping Jones and getting rid of Glenn was a screw up.

Just cuz we're 6-1 doesn't mean Wade is perfect.

Of course we didn't lose to NE cuz of Glenn... we lost to them cuz of Nate Jones.
