Sometimes you gotta give credit where credit is due. Andre Johnson is a good player and probably would have got his if Henry or Newman had been on him.
From my perspective, I can't see how even Champ Bailey could've stopped Johnson's TD on the quick slant either. Schaub threw a perfect pass and Johnson had perfect position. How could any cornerback have disrupted that pass-and-catch?

Why in the WORLD do we put 5' 9" Glenn on 6'3" Johnson? Its like last years Detroit game when Glenn ended up trying to cover Williams. That is ALWAYS a losing play. When we have a situation where we are up against a really big WR, the D coaches need to make SURE that Glenn is NOT the one covering him. If Newman is out, put Henry on him. OK so that means going maybe man to man- SO WHAT? Show some FLEXIBILITY people- that is supposed to be the NEW COACHES trademark- do not force the players into the system, use the players as their strengths and weaknesses warrant.


A.Johnson has speed he might be 6'3 but i think he will beat Henry thats why u saw Glen covering him, plus also remember that Glen played with Andre, guys knows each others moves

Why in the world did 5'9 Dre Bly shutdown T.O in the redzone last year???

Oh wait.. I remember.. Because Romo didn't throw him the ball.

Glenn has never been a 'shutdown' corner.

'Lots of teams love to match him with their primo WR.

Beat me to it and you phrased it better than I would have anyway.

You grossly underestimate yourself.

Surely you could have made a 'get back on that Lucky charms box' reference somehow.

See Burm, now look what you did...?!?! You dragged E-Dunce kicking and screaming into a thread where he had to go and post yet another meaningless video about how bad Henry is.

As if I hadn't already thought you were nuts, now you've gone off the deep end and "removed all doubt."

but when the ball is on the 10 and Glenn is lining up at the goal line....lol. You have to question that strategy.
Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner.

If you go back and look at the game again, 3 times all night we jammed the receivers, and 1 of those was with the first team.

I'm almost certain, we will be up on those receivers when the Giants come to town.

pepie, if I had known the uneducated one would show up I never would have started this thread- PROMISE. Real sorry, dude.

Hos, maybe I should make it a little clearer- Glenn is our SMALLEST CB. So why don't the coaches JUST MAKE SURE that our SMALLEST CB is not covering the other teams BIGGEST WR? Is that too much to ask?

Much smarter to put our least experienced CB on him if they are bigger right?

You're putting too much emphasis on height. It's really just that simple.

Darrell Green was 5'8" 185 pounds. You wouldn't put him on Andre huh?

That's ridiculous.

Lack of options, that is why.

Henery is too slow to cover Andre Johnson and the usual suspects (Reeves, Jones, Thomas, Ball) all suck.

You are left with Glenn, who actually did a decent job last night. Nobody could have stopped the TD throw to Johnson with that big of a cushion.

1) It's preseason. It's hard to assume that anything that happened against the Texans would necessarily happen in the regular season.

2) Newman will likely be playing in the regular season.

3) Newman is smaller than Henry.

Do you really want the defense to be switching Henry to the tallest WR on the other side, even if Newman's available, simply because he's the tallest?

Henry too slow?

The 'Boys spent $25 million on Henry.

Steve Smith. Carolina Panthers, 5'9" one hell of a WR. Always seems smaller than the DBs too.:D
