Henry at free safety, Glenn at corner?

Would this do anything for us? Henry got beat time and time again at corner yesterday, however, I think he would be a massive upgrade at safety. Actually he is very much like Darren Woodson in his size, and considering he has played corner, he should be an excellent free safety.

Aaron Glenn time and time again last year and this year has made plays on the ball when he is in there at corner.

I know such a situation would never happen, but do you think it would be an upgrade over our current situation?

I suggested this along with some others. Henry is the biggest weakness on defense.

this has been mentioned ever since Henry signed with us and it was always balked at because of the money that Henry signed for.. but I dont care about money.. i think its time that this was given serious consideration, although I know that it will not..

I believe that Henry at this point is a slightly better corner than Aaron Glenn, but not significantly better.. but Henry would be a huge upgrade over Davis/Watkins/Coleman at free safety and would change the way that we could play defense..

it wont happen, but I wish it would..

I don't know if he tackles well enough.

Aside from guys like Rod Woodson, has this ever been successfully accomplished?

And yet we constantly see "Put (insert corner who struggles in coverage) at FS because he locates the ball well" requests.

Henry is a very reactionary player. Do we really want him back there biting on pump fakes? I dunno.

Either that or we bench him. He is biting on double moves left and right.

My god people... 2 weeks or so ago when BP was asked which player on defense was playing the best he said Anthony Henry. Yes he had a horrible game and when he's off he's bad but the guy helps to give the Cowboys three good or better corners. He had a bad game but he's proved to me he's a corner and a good one.

It's not just this game. In every big loss we had had Henry was a big reason why we lost.

Henry is garbage, another reason why we dropped the ball big time by not signing Ty Law when we had the chance. Henry could have been moved to safety and our secondary would have been dominant.

People are forgetting it was Glenn that Santana Moss burned on those two td's last year plus he's tiny.

I just mentioned this in another thread. I would be willing to try it. I think Henry could nail down the FS position and be a playmaker. My only concern is whether Glenn and Reeves could hold down the fort.

It'a amazing that Henry played so poorly because BP said Henry was playing the best on defense a week or so ago.

I think it may be worth considering however I doubt BP would do it at this point...

It would make sense to do it next year and draft a top CB...

That is actually his best attribute. He tackles great. And he does well making plays in space.

It seems like the plays I have seen him get burned on, he's been man-to-man.

i don't think there are many coaches in the league who would move the guy who leads the nfc in passdef to safety.

Henry and Glenn have 2 different playing styles. Glenn seems to do better in man-to-man coverage. Henry seems to play better in space.

I think it would help us. But I don't get $5 million to coach, so what do I know?

I have always thought that Henry is better suited for FS. This also gets the four best DBs on the field.

Might be what this D needs at this time. A shakeup and a ball hawking FS.
