can't wait to see what Garrett does with TO, Crayton, Witten, MBIII, and GLENN all on the field at the same time.

Assuming Glenn is healthy, and it does appear he is running well so far, and if he can get back into game shape over the next 3 weeks, our offense should be even more dangerous (if that's possible) by the playoffs.

Garrett can use Glenn so, so many ways. Everything from WR screens, quick hitches, deep fly and post patterns, reverses, etc. We can use Glenn as a decoy as well as a primary threat.

Assuming Glenn is healthy, opposing defenses will have to respect Glenn's speed and he is VERY difficult to single cover.

Given how innovative Garrett has been to-date, I'm sure he's anticipating he mismatches that he can create using Glenn talents.

I will temper my expectations until I see him on the field.

And for the "Glenn could mess with the chemistry of the team" crowd, is there any doubt that a healthy Terry Glenn would have been huge yesterday?

I thought Crayton and Hurd made some big catches late, but we could use a more consistent threat opposite Terrell Owens when opposing defenses decide to key on Owens and obviously, Glenn being on the field could scare them away from that tactic.

Once Glenn makes a couple of plays, opposing defensive co-ordinators will quickly be reminded of his play making skills. They won't be able to double both TO and Witten anymore.

Yeah. With Glenn on the field, I sincerely doubt that TO sees any of that triangle-bracket-triple-coverage stuff yesterday. Crayton and Hurd, for all their decent qualities, just don't scare anyone. I kept expecting Crayton to go St. Louis on Detroit, but he never really showed up. Or, it was just that Witten was so wide open that it would be stupid not to go to him.

Glenn even at 80% would be a huge addition...I hope he can get out there and do something...would be great to see him out there the last game or two running some routes and taking a few hits
