Passing On Marion

Despite the team's need for a safety, the Cowboys aren't very interested in 12-year veteran Brock Marion, who was released Monday by the Lions.

Marion, a seventh-round pick of the Cowboys in 1993, played five years in Dallas, starting 43 games alongside strong safety Darren Woodson. Since leaving the Cowboys after the 1997 season, Marion signed a free-agent deal with Miami, where he earned three Pro Bowl selections in his six seasons. Marion finished third on the Lions defense with 112 tackles this past season and was second on the team with three interceptions, starting all 16 games.

The Cowboys studied film on Marion Tuesday, but want to go with more youth at the position. Currently, the team is expecting Lynn Scott, Keith Davis, Clint Finley and now sixth-round pick Justin Beriault to compete for the free safety position, with Roy Williams sliding over to strong safety.

The Cowboys also had their eyes on Atlanta safety Cory Hall, who was re-signed by the Falcons on Friday. Hall, a six-year veteran, was released by Atlanta in the off-season after recording 60 tackles and an interception in 13 starts last year. But Hall re-signed last week and will likely compete for a starting job once again this year.

looks like it may be newman and henry at the corners, glen playing nickel, and hunter in back-up role. what's everyone else think

Signing Glenn probably spells the end of Hunter in Dallas.
The big question is who's playing FS. I wouldn't have minded seeing Cory Hall given a shot.

I still like Newman and Glenn at the corners, and Williams and Henry at the safety spots.

Aren't we paying Henry too much to play FS?

Not if we pay Glenn FS money.

You wouldnt like that when we match up against big WRs like TO. That is the very reason we signed Henry over small CBs like Smoot, Rolle, etc.

If we can play against TO with Newman and Frazier, we can play with Newman and Glenn.

I dont want Henry on T.O anymore then I want Newman. Newman is a fast smurf. Henry is tall and slower.

Since we've only played 1 game against TO with the Eagles, and in that game we gave up about 100 pts and 1000 yards passing, that's not very reassuring.

The second time we played the Eagles TO played almost the whole first half before getting injured, with little impact on the game (if my memory serves me correctly).

I still get your point though.
