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.

I think for the most part he and Hurd will rotate in and out of the game

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

TO never lined up in the backfield much, either, before this season.
Never know what Garrett might have in store, but it will be fun to find out. At the very least, we should be able to draw more people more consistently into coverage and out of the box to free things up for our running game.

This is true I just don't see Glenn as a slot WR when that has not been his strong suite. As for TO lining up the in backfield he does so but then goes into motion he is not running the rout from the RB position he is only lining up at the beinging of the play. I guess I would much rather see Crayton lined up in the slot with TO and Glenn manning the outside, Glenn has made a living at being a deep threat and I think that is where he will help us the most as teams will be forced to provide the deep help to Glenn side which should clear out space for TO if not then you take your chances with Glenn in one on one matchups deep which I think would favor the Cowboys.

yup, cause we actually can run the football
I agree with what Ditka said yesterday. Welker is their run game. Brady goes to him every time he gets in trouble. In a sense we have Barber, but he gets tackled behind the line of scrimmage too much. :rolleyes:

As long as he is back in game shape by the playoffs. I'm very happy with Crayton this year and want to re-sign him.

Anyone besides me think Jerry wishes he had not paid Glenn's roster bonus?
If he makes some plays durring the playoffs it will all be worth it. No one will even care about him missing the season.
