If Aaron Glenn was the only thing that could keep us from being "lit up" by Eli Manning then we're done before we've started.

I have to agree, Glenn may have had more experience than a 65 mustang, but just like the car, he is just plain old. At least it is a sweet car, Glenn was horrible, and I would rather see a young guy out there making all those mistakes than him with all that "experience".

No, Glenn is 35 so he MUST suck.


Seriously, no one is saying Glenn is great or anything, but he's better then those other guys and he has experience (which is invaluable w/Newman hurt).

It is best that he's gone.

We are a better team now.


Now..if we could only do something about Henry....:D

How are we a better team? Is having Nate Jones playing better than Glenn? You can't just cut players. You have to replace them.

If we end up trading for someone, that's great, but as of right now, there's no way you can say this team is a better team.

I think we can all agree that there's a significant dropoff between Glenn and Nate Jones.

I can not agree with that at this point.

I've seen Glenn get toasted on a regular basis over the last two years.

A real head-scratcher. No way they make this move if they think Newman is inactive for any length of time. This still wouldn't make sense even if T-New was completely healthy. Who's gonna play the slot? The only reason he looked like crap this preseason is because he was forced to play the edge receiver in T-New's absence. Too short and too old? Yeah, well there's plenty of 5'11" 22-yos who can't play at all.

You haven't seen Nate Jones toasted because he wasn't good enough to get on the field.

Honestly, I have to question the sanity of anyone who thinks Jones and Reeves are better options than Glenn.

I can't say it's a worse team either.

Kids gotta step up........seems like sometimes N.Jones and J.Reeves just got comfy sitting in the reserve role...........were just on cruise control...........

pressures on..............must have been studs at some point........put the pedal to the metal................lets see high motors........

I won't say we're better.

Given their ages, I can't say they're worse either.

You don't think Parcells would play one of "his guys" over another player would ya just because he was one of "his guys"?


Nah. ;)

No. I don't. I think he played who he thought was the best player at each position.

Yeah that's real smart, Wade. You need CBs so you cut the second best one on the team (that isn't hurt) and one of only two (that aren't hurt) that actually has experience.


Freakin' stupid move, IMO.


Was it his...or Jerry's?

BP would bench his guy when it came down to it. Remember Bledsoe? Jones and Reeves just have not shown anything that makes me think they are as good as Glenn.

Rewatch the Commander game two years ago and tell me how your "hero" faired over the final few minutes.

Stupidest thing I've read in my life...

NO way, man.

I've been calling for this joker to "get the axe" since 2006.

This was a day many of us had hoped would come.

It has..and I for one am going to enjoy the Hell out of it.

If Jones and Reeves aren't good enough to contribute then they shouldn't be on the roster. Not this year, not last year, not the year before.

Here is the clip..

You are correct.

Glenn should have been fired after that game.
