says that if Terry Glenn didnt get injured....Romo most likely would have thrown more INTs as he would have tried to get the ball to Owens, Glenn, Crayton and Witten trying to keep all of them happy. Says....with Glenn injury....it simplified things for Romo and he blew up in a good way.

Well, I would like to think that after the Buffalo game that T Romo has matured even more as a (young) QB.

He's taking what the defense is giving him, much more now than before, IMO. I don't think he's forcing it as much to just prove a point.

Yes, he first made this asinine claim on ESPN Radio last week.

Again, having Terry Glenn helps this offense, not the opposite.

I hate to blast Irvin, but his T.O. love has no limits and that is exactly what this statement is all about.

exactly, Glenn's mere presence commands a buttload of respect from defensive coordinators in that he can spread opposing defenses with his speed. I know Irvin meant well, but just because Terry would be playing doesn't mean Tony is going to throw to him EVERY time.

Agree with ya Mick. A definitive statement like that with no proof is about one thing and that one thing only. Praise his guy.

The thing that amazes me is Glenn was Irvin's guy when Key was here.

Yep.

Heck, I remember people complaining on this board last year that Romo was staring down T.O. and forcing ball to him WITH Glenn on the opposite side.

Mike is the biggest Cowboys fan out there but his T.O. is GOD AGENDA gets extremely annoying at time.

Terry Glenn, Jason Witten and Patrick Crayton have never been known for being selfish and I doubt they would complain if they didn't get balls thrown there way.

Jason Witten was used primarily as a blocker against the Gints and was not thrown at often and I don't remember him complaining.

Irvin's statement is idiotic and reeks of AGENDA.

Count me in.

Sometimes Irvin can be a real moron.

That's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. We're 9-1 because Terry Glenn is hurt... Right. :rolleyes:

Careful.

I remember after he made that statement he talked about how he had played the game before, therefore had a unique perspective and knew more about it than most.

Pretty much saying that he knew more about football and the aforementioned topic than you and therefore it wasn't up for discussion.

Yeah but he's also a ****** so that offsets any amount of football knowledge he may have acquired over the years while playing the game.

I think michael is referring more to the chemistry that Romo and Owens have developed and that couldnt really taken place if Glenn was gobbling some passes. There may be some merit here as TO definitely accels when he is numero uno.

I mentioned this a couple of days ago. A buddy of mine said he heard them talking about Glenn's injury on ESPN Radio a couple of weeks ago and they were discussing the effect of him being out. A point that was made was that if you think T.O. complains about not getting the ball you haven't heard anything like Glenn.

I know it's easy to diss Mike for his comments, but he knows a lot more about what really goes on in the locker room than anyone on this board. Sure he's a huge T.O. apologist, but his opinion is probably based on conversations he has had with current players other than T.O.

When did he ever say anything good about Glenn? All I heard from Irvin before TO came to Dallas was that we had no #1 receiver (an indirect diss to TG) and we'd never win with a bunch of #2s.

The Glenn injury has to have forced a stronger bond between "The Player" and Romo. Now that the dynamic is in place - it's a great time for speed-merchant TG to return and really provide the missing element and perfect compliment to what the Cowboys already have.

Monster O-line, Owens, Glenn, Crayton, Witten, Jones/Barber, and Tony Romo....?!?

Shock and awe, baby!!!... shock and awe.

There was nothing assinine about that statement Irvin made, in fact he is dead on.

TG wants the ball too, and he will make it known and he has, I remember seeing him doing so in a few games last season.

TG would most definitely help this offense, but since Irvin's comment, I have noticed that the last 4 Ints for a fact has been balls that Romo has forced to eith Owens or Witten. When on replays you can see Crayton, Fasano, or Hurd running open on shorter routes that they could get yac, or intermediate and long routes.


Irvin's comment is spot on. The patriots offense and scoring has you guys blinded with greed.

Right now we have the same amount of firepower as the Pats, if not more.
The only difference is that they have a coach that shows no mercy, and we have a HC that reins in our OC, so we do not put up as many points.

Also, the pats have and older and mature team, that is use to walking and maintaining the level of success that they have right now.

We are younger and this success is new to our team, not to the organization, but to this team, so it becomes overwhelming for us at times during games. Which results in taunting penalties, offsides, over the head snaps, forced passes, runs that get the first down and then running backwards to lose the first down while trying to get more yards, and three and outs.

But as the games go by we are learning to maintain our focus, and we are slowly putting a full game together especially on offense.

So this is great, we are growing up each day in practice and in each game, so when Glenn comes back if he comes back he will come back to a team that will be able to help him get acclimated to the chemistry of the offense.
