The Cowboys could cut Glenn today and not pay him another dime. They wouldn't need to pay him an injury settlement because his injury is from last year.
If they let him participate in OTAs or minicamps and he got hurt again, then he'd have to be paid his full salary. That's why the Cowboys want him to sign the split contract -- if it's the same old injury recurring, he gets only $500,000 (which is more than nothing), but if it's an injury to another part of his body, he gets his full salary like normal.
AdamJT13,
You are right about the call.
I was wrong. Dallas was in quarters or cover-4. I was wrong, and I apologize for making an honest mistake about the coverage. If you don't know the call, the average fan, you can easily confuse cover-2 and cover-4, just like you could confuse cover-1 with cover -3. It doesn't help that the guys on TV don't show or point these things out, and some good sources said Dallas was in cover-2. Plus, even the quarterbacks get confused when teams show one thing and roll into another coverage.
I actually think the second Moss TD is your best defense when you make your case for quarters being the call. I analyzed the 49er play when Dallas was in quarters, and the corners were pressing in man.
However, on the second Moss TD, the way the corners are playing off and sinking deep tells you it was cover 4, even though the underneath coverage looks like cover 2 and pre-snap looks like cover-2. In cover-2, the corners will press more, and Dallas' corners did this in cover -2 for sure. Yet, in cover-2, they can play off, too.
Watch Glenn on the second TD, he is so concerned about keeping Moss away from the sidelines or possibly running the corner route Moss talked about, he gives too much lateral space and really allows Moss to run right at Roy and his area uncontested. Moreover, Glenn is sinking into his fourth or deep quarater, and Moss takes advantage of the coverage and runs right at Roy's quarter. Dallas was outcoached here. Also, watch Henry. He is playing off and sinking back with the crossing inside receiver. That is a tip off to cover-4. Both Glenn and Henry tip cover-4 off after the snap. It was a four deep/prevent, and it didn't work.
I do see the 4 deep zone on that play now. It is kind of like that picture of the lady and the vase. You know the black and white one. When the light comes on you can see the old, ugly woman and the pretty one, too.
You already explained this, but I am little hard headed sometimes. We disagree on the first one, but the call to play cover 4 on the second one was terrible, especially after the first one. Roy was pretty much hung out to dry on the second one. The coaches should have had him at least 15 yards deep. He was about 11.5 yards deep. Plus, Newman should have been put on Moss and Glenn underneath. Parcells put Newman on Moss in 2006, the first game, and Newman shut him down.
Moss has killed Dallas, and Phillips would be wise to put Newman on him this year. Everytime Newman hasn't been on Moss, he has killed Dallas. He was only stopped one time, and that was in the 2006 game in Dallas.
I hope Roy has a great year, and I will not be giving you anymore grief about #38.
