I can't believe the outcry over Aaron Glenn...the guy gave up some big plays last year. He's old and doesn't support the run well at all.
If we're expecting to put pressure on the QB, then it makes more sense to me to keep the younger guys...When we're in the nickel, I'm just as happy with Reeves or Jones out there as Glenn at this point. They probably also figure they can pick up CB's who get cut that will be every bit as good as Glenn and cheaper.
I think it also says that TNEw is expected to be back soon, even if it's not for the Giants game. Would you really want to keep Glenn just for that game? They have to look at the bigger picture, imo.
I don't have a problem with any of the cuts. I especially think it would have been crazy to keep the young QB. We'll probably resign him to the practice squad, but if not, rest assured...QB's just like him at this point in time will be available for the practice squad even if he gets signed...Frankly, I see no way in heck he'll get signed to someone's 53 man roster.
I like the fact that Phillips isn't hanging onto every aging veteran who's game is going downhill out of some fear of rookies. He prides himself in putting players in position to make plays...let's give him a chance.
