Mickey just confirmed: Glenn returns to practice Wed

[Everlastingxxx]

Crayton is so reliable. I don’t understand why we have not resigned him. I wouldn’t mind resigning Julius either, but i may be of the minority.

 

[BadKarma]

I still bet Terry is extra driven to get back because he sees the possibility of sticking it to Belichick after the way he handled him in 2001.

Not to mention TG is probably thinking he may not get another shot at a championship. This could be his last chance.

Another part of me realizes that it is Romo with the good arm, not Bledsoe with the rocket arm, throwing the ball. I wonder how his speed will be utilized now.

Watch the Indy game from last year.

I was at the game. His longest pass was 33 yds.

Red will go nuts!!!!! Play him outta the slot and its over!

We should rotate, especially since Glenn is just coming back. In fact, both those empty backfield combo's sound good to me. Romo is definitely quick enough for a 5 wide set, and we should keep them guessing. Also, I want to see Romo mix it up more. To me it seems like at the beginning of the season he mixed it up well. Now, it seems one person has a big day, either Jason or TO.

I am not at the games personally so I can't be sure, but that just makes me think that CRayton and HUrd are not getting open consistently.

I'd play Glenn in the slot, he would absolutely abuse anyone who covers him in the slot along with Witten, Crayton becomes the decoy, and TO would absolutely murder the middle of that field when Witten and Glenn flush it out.

 

[Doomsday101]

Last season TO and Glenn manned the outside and Crayton played in the slot. I don't see Dallas sticking Glenn in the slot when going over the middle is not one of Glenn strong points especially coming off the injury. Glenn provides the deep threat and when he returns hopefully that will continue to be his role

When it's 1st and 10, instead of trying to run it 5 yards, Glenn can kill anyone on a 5 yd pattern, and if you need him deep, Crayton simply runs an out, Glenn runs at the safety, straight to the corner.

You won't always play Glenn in the slot BTW, just a lot, as you do TO. You simply take away your best cover corners when you're able to work a WR in the slot. Also we could start Glenn in the slot, motion him out, there are so many things you could do because of Glenn's speed.

Glenn has never been a slot WR I don't know why you would think he will be now? Crayton is just much better suited at playing the slot. I agree with you on TO but then again TO is a big strong WR who can take the contact over the middle Glenn is not.

I won't try and convince you, and neither of us is a coach. I would simply start Glenn at WR opposite TO, and when we bring in the 3 WR set, I would have TO or Glenn work the slot. 1 works the outside, the other works the slot, and switch it around.

I'm not a coach but Glenn is not a slot WR and never has been. On the outside he forcing the safety over they can't play more to the middle of the field. TO in the slot yes he is big and when you are running routs between the LB and safeties you better be able to take the shot. Crayton also is a guy who when all 3 were in the lineup would lineup in the slot and run the crossing routs and slants over the middle. I don't think exposing Glenn over the middle is a wise ideal. I guess we will see

No doubt Glenn returning would be big I mean we are talking about a guy who provided over 1,000 yards receiving last year. If healthy he clearly will help take some of the pressure off of TO

How long do you all think it will take Romo and Glenn to get their timing down?

I don't think it will take them much time to get a feel for each other.

 

[Woods]

I don't think it will take them much time to get a feel for each other.

Hopefully they can do that over the next 2-3 weeks.

The last thing we need is for the QB and WR to mis-communicate during the playoffs . . . . leading to potential turnovers.

I do think it is important that Glenn see some playing time before the playoffs come so that these timing issues can addressed. I also think Glenn will only see spot duty, rotating in and out of the game. I can't imagine his endurance level will be that high given the time missed. Even rotating in and out of the game I think he still provides us with another dangerous weapon into the lineup.

 

[03EBZ06]

I think some of us have forgotten just valuable TGlenn to the team and how productive he was before the injury. I have no doubt in my mind that when he returns, he will make this offense even better.

Yes, I think Glenn will only see spot duty as well.

I'm thinking anywhere between 15-25% of the offensive snaps (unless we are looking to primarily pass the ball the entire game).

But it's enough to cause big match-up problems for opposing defenses and DC.
