Getting rid of Anthony Henry and Roy Williams. Think about the last few years, every time theres a big pass play made on us. What are the odds that one of these two were covering. Pretty good odds, unless Jacques Reeves was on the field, but he's gone now too. Sure Mike Jenkins or Hamlin might get beat every now & then but teams will not strategically try to throw at them everytime. Anybody regretting the Henry trade needs to go back and look at film. Jay Ratliff could beat Henry in a 40 yard dash. This defense will be much improved this year.

I agree that Henry and Roy were difficult to digest when they were lost on the field, lets give Jacques Reeves a little love as he was very respectable last year for Houston, hope that does not reflect on the quality of our coaching and scheme's. Remember the two replacements were rookies last year and I was very upset with the way Jenkins chooses to tackle or get involved in a scrum. If he shows similar attitude to tackling then I am ready to start looking for a replacement, no room for glamor players on this defense. Orlando looks like the real deal but time will tell and it is way too early for judgment. I hope I am so wrong on Jenkins and that he really gets it figured out this year.
Wishes for the draft Vollmer from Houston, McGee from T A&M, Brandon Tate.

I would say getting rid of Brad Johnson would rank up there with them also.

Henry was grossly underrated during his time in Dallas and continues to get no love from the fans.

Agreed, he had his struggles but when it came down to it he was a capable starting corner.

He had his moments, in between injuries, but he just didn't have enough of them. His first season with Dallas was great until he got hurt. After that he seemed to stay that way. It didn't help he lost what little bit of speed he had.

He had a rough year for sure. When he was on his game in the past, he was great, but I'm guessing injuries caught up with him, because he was incredibly slow last year.

Most fans want every cbs to be a Deion clone... Henry will never be mistaken for #21!

Right now I'd say the biggest additions are Jon Kitna and Gerald Sensabaugh.

Igor and Brooking is a near wash for Canty and Zach when totaled up.

Sensabaugh and Kitna are huge upgrades at their positions for the guys they replaced.

Addition by subtraction is a logical absurdity for a reason. We will benefit where we add talent. Those are two areas where we added talent.

I would have been fine with Henry is he played 16 games.

His injuries were compounded by TNew's so that it seemed we never had both healthy.

Henry is still a decent CB but not at 5 mm and not being paid that to be the team's 4th best CB.
