Jaguars sign veteran cornerback Aaron Glenn

It's over now.

We need to move on.


We need to start taking a look at Henry.

Who can we find to replace him?

I suppose your intent is to dog my boy AH all season.

If he's healthy, he'll hold his own. If he's not completely healthy, he'll still be a gamer, and my bet is he will be worth his weight as a tackler and blitzer, regardless.

How 'bout waiting to see how he does in Wade's scheme before packing him off?

Or would that be too clsoe to 'fair' for you?

e-duncan is *e-genda* all the way. he will do whatever he can to make henry a bad player. one of the true 'haters' in the world where objectivity is a total and complete waste of time.

Eduncan? Wait-and-see??? That's rich!

Be prepared for him to post videos from this personal collection which will PROVE ( ) beyond a shadow-of-a-doubt how badly Henry has played since he became a Cowboy.

Well. I see I have my work cut out for me this season.

I love AH and will not let him be thrown under a daily bus.:

I'm glad you're back, LaTuna. Now, there's one more poster who will have to endure video after video from the Eduncan library which shows our players in one coverage and Eduncan claiming that they are in another. He even has AUDIO on some videos with the announcers claiming what coverage the defense was in and he still doesn't get it.

Hilarious!

Sounds like the "Football Scientist", only short-circuited.

Speaking of Joyner, I didn't get his manhattan phone book sized tome this year - anyone know how he rated AH in 06...or is that too dangerously 'metric' a question?

Jaguars sign veteran cornerback Aaron Glenn for secondary depth

Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Veteran cornerback Aaron Glenn signed with Jacksonville on Monday, two days after being cut by Dallas.
Glenn gives the Jaguars a fifth cornerback, playing behind starters Rashean Mathis and Brian Williams and possibly competing with Terry Cousin for the nickel role.

Jacksonville had planned to keep five cornerbacks, but released second-year player Dee Webb and journeyman Bruce Thornton in final roster cuts.
To make room on the roster, the Jags released guard Tutan Reyes.
The 35-year-old Glenn, a first-round draft pick by the New York Jets in 1994, has 635 career tackles and 40 interceptions. He spent eight seasons in New York, then played three years in Houston (2002-04) and two in Dallas (2005-06). He made the Pro Bowl in 2000 and 2001.

i think glenn was a good cut, he might be injured b4 the season is over too old.

If this year goes up in smoke... Jerry Jones should hire a freakin' GM!

 

[baj1dallas]

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.

Yet he's a better corner than the 3 guys we have now behind our starters.

apparantely our coaches, who we brought in for their defensive experience, didn't think so.

and since we know he won't....

Cover 2 corners are big a physical. They have to jam WR's at line of scrimmage to disrupt timing. 5'9 with cleats and 185 isn't very physical.

actually, they aren't, cover 2 corners are ones who can break on the ball well since they are asked to keep the play in front of them and give the Wr space

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I honestly don't think JJ was looking to save a few hundered thousand while cutting Glenn.

Seriously, given Newman's situation, and given that we're well under the cap, and that the Head Coach has openly critized the lack of depth at the position, would JJ would cut Glenn to save a few hundred thousand (while aspiring to win the division and win a playoff game(s))?

I don't think so.

JJ has never been one not to spend to try to win. If anything, you can blame him for overspending at times.

My opinion is that the coaching staff probably felt they wanted to get a bit younger at the position, and that the difference in THEIR opinion between Glenn and Reeves was negligible. So you go with the younger guy who you think is about to break out.

Now we'll see if the coaching staff made the correct decision. But I just don't think the primary motive was to save a few hundred thousand dollars.

that's the perfect way to look at it

 

[Bob Sacamano]

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.

you need to rely on your 3rd corner a predominant amount of times anyways since teams like to employ 3 WR sets to spread Ds out

y'all are just going to have to trust the coaching staff on this one, they felt like Reeves was the better corner, and we shall see

 

[Bob Sacamano]

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....

wasted? Jacque Reeves, a 7th round pick is now our nickel corner, and could be starting wk 1 in Newman's absence

I think Wade outlined his thought process in his press conference today.

Maybe there is a talent gap between Reeves and Glenn. But it must have been small enough that Wade didn't think it was worth keeping Glenn around and he wanted to develop Reeves into that role; both now and for the future.

I hated the move at the time; but if Wade is confident there is minimal difference between the two (based on what he has seen), then going with the younger guy makes sense.

Well said.

When talent/ability is marginally different..don't we always prefer a head coach go with the guy with a longer NFL future?
