Can't bench Reeves...

[silverbear]

Reeves 4.4 40-time
Henry 4.52 40-time

Reeves has speed.

Henry does not.

And of course, speed is the ONLY criterion for evaluating a DB...

Could you possibly be any more clueless, son??

There is a something important in this thread -- Reeves has played FAR better than we could have expected. And that is a very good thing.

However, when Henry got injured, he was playing lights out -- he came back off a tough showing against the Giants to put back to back 2 INT games together.

No, he's right. All you need to do is look at how slow Everson Walls was and how fast Rod Hill was.

Don't you feel silly now?

 

[Rampage]

henry has the best hands in the secondary. he's starting hopefully against philly

Don't make me bring out 40 times.

Don't make me break my foot up your ***

I hope Henry returns and plays as well as he was before the injury. I hope Reeves improves his game to the point that who the starter is really is up for contention. I hope Reeves picks up his game enough to warrant multiple probowls before he's finished. I hope he wins MVP in multiple superbowls for us.

But while hope springs eternal, I'd prefer to have a healthy Henry back there. That's no knock on Reeves. But Henry is better when healthy than Reeves is right now.

 

[Oh_Canada]

While I do think Reeves is actually better in coverage than Henry, Henry is a better playmaker and this team needs one of those in the secondary.

alexander wright had spped too- how did that turn out?

 

[joseephuss]

Henry plays RCB, so when he comes back he is going back to his spot and Newman is returning to his spot at LCB. If you really want Reeves to remain the starter that would mean you don't want Newman to be the starter. And that is plain crazy. Plus, Reeves will still get plenty of playing time when the defense goes nickel and Newman mans the slot position.

There are agendas and then there is just being a pain in the posterior. If you can't watch the games and see that Henry has played at a high level and outplayed Reeves then I don't think you have a clue about football or just like stirring it up. And that is not to say that Reeves has played poorly. He has done well for the 3rd CB on the team, but Henry was easily outshining Reeves.

Also, if Reeves is so darned good then maybe that will put an end to your other agenda that Dallas should have drafted a CB to replace Henry instead of drafting Stanback.

For now Phillips has said when Henry returns he will be used in nickle defense much like we did when Newman 1st returned.

 

[hairic]

Other parts of the secondary have changed as well. A better FS has more to do with the improved pass defense than Reeves.

The pass defense will improve again when another part of the secondary is changed with the return of Henry.

eduncan,

Who is faster, Reeves or Stanback?

Here we go ....

Yes. This is true.

There is a reason for this.

Reeves is one of our best players.

 

[03EBZ06]

Yes. This is true.

There is a reason for this.

Yes, ther is a reason for this, but not because of your thinking, it's because Henry is still recovering from his injury and need to ease into the field.

Reeves is one of our best players.

Rank those best players and I bet he he isn't one of the best in the team.

 

[Doomsday101]

Yes. This is true.

There is a reason for this.

Reeves is one of our best players.

Not according to Phillips. When Newman returned he was also being used only in Nickel situations does not mean Reeves was better than Newman? Come on stop the henry BS for a change, your act has gotten old. Henry is a good player for this team and if you can't see that then you really have no clue as to what you are even watching on Sunday.

 

[AsthmaField]

Plain and simple: We are a better defense with Newman, Henry and Reeves than with Newman, Reeves and Jones.

We will improve oncy Henry returns, period.

You are correct. We are a better team when all of our starters are in the secondary and healthy and ready to go. We have been dealing with being short handed all season and yet the guys have done a decent job and with Henry's return and Newman getting back to full strength and Reeves getting some needed experience this can only bode well for this team.

 

[theogt]

I like Reeves, but there's a reason he is one of the most targeted CBs in the league -- opposing QBs like him too.

 

[BlueStar II]

I think Reeves is good, but once healthy, I'd prefer to see Henry back in there.
