Jaguars sign veteran cornerback Aaron Glenn

[dooomsday]

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.

Its not necessarily to Reeves credit the he appears to have closed the gap. Sounds like Glenn just slid back a bit more.

I have to say as time passes I am becoming more skeptical. Unless the guy totally lost it the vet leadership couldnt hurt.

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?

Amen sista. Henry will hold his own.

newman isn't exactly a rookie.
roy williams has been around.

vet leadership is the sr member on the team stepping up to lead. with glenn gone, someone else will step up.

glenn is too soft to play defense. he cowars whenever contact is coming

 

[Hoofbite]

they had to start getting younger somewhere. Can't just hang onto guys forever. Glenn was steady and thats about it.

He was pretty poor (maybe very poor) against the run, and that is another factor to consider. Reeves is big and tough enough that he'll be better there.

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

That's not something to be proud of. Starting by default.

And if Newman can't go, you know Eli will go at him all game. He will get abused more by Plaxico than Furrey abused a healthy T-NEW.

A solid veteran was just cut because of him. I don't think it's at all by default unless default means "better than all of your peers."

I love the spin being put on this. Cutting Glenn would have made sense if Newman and Henry were healthy. Newman is banged up and Henry has been banged up ever sincehe signed with Dallas.

Congrats, Jacques Reeves, a guy who wouldn't even be the #4 on a team with good corner depth, will most likely be getting extensive playing time and maybe even starting time this season.

Furthermore, your one injury one away from two low round draft picks being thrusted into the nickel packages.

Draft picks? What do you know about draft picks, yall never have any... Move along idiot!!!

Good to see that you had nothing to say because you know what I said is right. Have fun trying to create "pressure" to save your putrid secondary. Phillips has half the talent in Dallas in comparison to what he worked with in San Diego.

You guys are in for a rude awakening. Replacing a HOF coach with a career retread doesn't mean playoffs.

i hope we get good pressure on the qb like those skins did last year

There you go again, what do you know about pressure, yall created NONE last year. Your BUMS had the fewest sacks in the league... Again, move along idiot!!!

 

[Mansta54]

This cat is totally CLUELESS. He keeps stickin his foot in is mouth with each post. Unbelievable!!! Can you believe he's talking about draft picks and pressure, and he's a Foreskin fan. What do they know about dratf picks and pressure on the QB? NOTHING!!!!!

The coaches got to see these guys daily in practice so let's hope this was an informed decision and not about a few dollars.

At 35 Glenn has apparently lost a step and he was a speed player his entire career.

The question is of course can anyone behind him play a lick and I think the answer there is not a good one. We heard Wade say week after week no CB was stepping up.

CB is an early round priority next season as it was this season if we could have found a fit.

The real issue is that Glenn was actually pretty good as a nickel corner last year and now we have complete unknowns. I really expected Nate Jones to be cut as I hadn't seen him make a defensive play in 3 years.

But Glenn was going to only get worse and we have to defer to the staff here.

Its quite possible the team just didn't feel Glenn would remain healthy enough to play all year after his off-season knee scope. So they are gonna go with a young guy and hope he is much better by the end of the year.

 

[WR17]

Again you had nothing to say except talk about the Skins. Good to see you completely agree with what I said .

I'm impressed a realist in Cowboy land. Refreshing to know at least some of you are ready for the rude awakening when Phillips once again proves why hes a retread.

Watching the replay of Vikings vs. Cowboys on NFLN, Jacques Reeves is getting destroyed by Troy Williamson.
