Jaguars sign veteran cornerback Aaron Glenn

winicki is getting spanked.

You nailed it.

The folks that think we were just being "cheap" are wrong.

Exactly. If Glenn was a KEY part of the defense we were building then Jerry would not have cared about the money.

Glenn was a liability. Expendable.

The difference is that my example actually used really good CBs. Those are his starters, but it isn't like teams haven't been able to pass on the Colts.

The Colts' weakness is their run D, actually. They were like #3 against the pass last year.

This must be one of those days that end in "y".

Mea culpa, you are correct.

If we dont draft a corner in the first 2 rounds next year I am going to shart myself...

Im tired of these late round picks being wasted on corners. Instead of paying in free agency (not directed at TNEW) 29 year corners mad loot, not sure why you cant draft a young stud and sign him for 5-6 years.

Like this stud....

You want to draft Mike Hart to play corner?

 

[Angus]

Ball is not even on the team.

I'd like to see the proof of how Glenn is STILL an upgrade over Reeves and Jones. He was probably an upgrade back in 1980 but it's been a long time since Glenn was an elite corner.

Playoff experience? Please! It's not like Glenn was playing on teams that were making the playoffs every year! Come'on! This Glenn argument is getting more ridiculous by the moment. Maybe some of you can get out your black arm-bands and wear them in memory of our beloved former nickel corner.

Agreed! Good post.

First everyone here was saying a couple of weeks ago how this secondary is *garbage*, and this is WITH an *ineffective, washed up* Aaron Glenn.

And now everyone here is all of a sudden hyping A. Glenn as a Top 5 Shut Down Corner?

Wow-you guys really have nothing to do on Labor Day.:bang2:

No but I'll take the all world Appalachia State QB though...

First, you are overstating things in some vain effort to prove a point you don't have.

Second, a short time ago, our own head coach expressed doubts that we had cornerbacks that could play in the NFL, of which I am assuming Reeves was one of being that his name was not excluded.

But it is suddenly safe to feel secure about Reeves? For what reason?

Right, because saying that Glenn is better than Reeves is certainly the equivalent to calling him a "Top 5 Shut Down Corner."

I didn't say I was. Aaron Glenn may have alot of experience, but he's a couple of steps slower. Reeves may have be a few steps faster, but lacks. So it's a wash in my book.

Pretty much all 32 teams are thin in the secondary. Frankly-I really don't get why we're having all these threads to begin with.

winicki is getting spanked.

I don't see how.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Agreed! Good post.

No it's not.

Supposedly I'm getting "spanked". :laugh1:

What link do you have that suggests that Newman is more than 50-50 for this game?

The only way this can be put to rest is for Newman to step in and play as if he isn't injured. If that is true, the optimism is founded somewhat.

The predominant line of thinking, right or wrong, is that Newman will eventually not be able to perform at a high level. So, your third cornerback makes an impact whether you like it or not, want to deny it will happen or not.

Anyone who is logical can see the issues that would cause. That same logical mind would be able to take the totality of what Reeves has shown to date and realize he is not head and shoulders above Glenn, not in experience or playmaking ability. He is a veteran at a position where it actually does pay to have seen it all. I saw nothing from the player in preseason that showed he lost a step he never had. I did see Reeves make some awful mistakes that would get many players cut, not promoted.

Newman has said himself that regardless he is playing. Not my words.

I did not see any sign that Glenn had lost much if any speed. I guess we will find out pretty quick if the boys made the right call. Something that is also left out was the mentoring that Glenn was doing for the other CBs.

That was a come-on Winicki.

Phillips said that Glenn would need help if he played for any extended period of time.

Sure Glenn mentored but if the other guys haven't "gotten it" after spending two years with Glenn I doubt 1 more season would have changed things.
