Moving Henry to FS makes the most sense...

[juck]

cmon its obvious he is big enuff,has good covering skills,hits good,he gets burned a lot playing CB.We have Reeves who is ok coverage wise,and Aaron Glenn(i know hes small) but is a great CB.Or move Henry and draft a CB.I pray Parrish works out.I am so tired of this you would think 2 years is enuff.god.

 

[ravidubey]

This is the way to go next year. Draft a corner and move Henry over. Henry's already been paid and will be under contract as a Cowboy for his forseeable career, so he can't complain about his market value going down.

 

[Big Country]

do it next season... not this one... I'd like to see Parish integrated into this year's defense and see what he can do first... If he washes out, try it, but not this season... Too much momentum already to disturb it yet...

But hey... extend Aaron Glenn's contract next year and put him opposite T-New and move Henry to FS might not be too bad of an idea... Glenn is still a heck of a player.

This "move Henry to FS" talk is nonsense. Henry is a good, solid, physical corner, not a FS. He's being paid like that. You can't invest big money into all four guys in your secondary anway. Every team has warts.

What we need is someone like George Teague -- a solid vet who won't command a lot of money.

 

[DTK]

Isn't Glenn already under contract for next year? I thought he signed an extension this offseason?

The only thing that may be a problem is that if it were that simple, wouldn't Parcells and Zimmer have already made that decision? It would seem obvious to me that Henry at FS and Glenn at CB would be a better option then Davis at FS and Henry at CB. Anyway that Davis is out of the equation would be a better option than what we have now.

The move to FS must be more difficult than we think.

Hopefully Parrish is that solid vet.I have a good feeling about him.

 

[CATCH17]

I'd hate to move Henry to safety cause he is a darn good corner but at this point we are so weak at Free Safety I think we may have to do it.

I am tired of the scrap heap we are putting at FS.

First off, they have all had bad ball skills.

Moving a corner to FS would help solve that.

But most of the guys we have been putting at FS have been better suited for SS also.

Parrish is that way too.

Defending the deep pass is a problem we have had for a long time.

The Saints dinked and dunked us to death in the first half and then when we adjusted our safeties were exposed in the second half. Not only was our weakness exposed but Peyton out coached our entire coaching staff on both sides of the ball.

To make matters worse our defense was on the field all game long making our own Cowboy announcers think they had given up. No way. They were exhausted.

The way to beat the Saints is the same way to beat the Colts. Keep thier offense off the field and win time of possession.

 

[Apollo Creed]

I really wouldn't mind seeing Zimmer try to walk Roy up to the line a lot more and make him a hybrid SS/OLB, it would cause a lot of confusion for offenses not to mention IMO Roy has the strength and speed to get off the edge and rush the QB, but hey in Zimmer we trust. We gotta try something new to pressure the QB.

 

[Doomsday]

Last year LT and RT held them team hostage this year its FS. What irritates me is everyone knew before the start of last season that the Oline needed help and everyone knew before the start of this season that FS was a glaring weakness yet Bill and Jerry rolled the dice with what they had instead of making a move or bringing in some veteran help. If Dallas was tight against the CAP I might understand it more but they had room to make a move. You would of thought they learned their lesson last year.

 

[Chuck 54]

I fully expect Watkins to beat out any competition for FS next year. The kid has the talent and the experience in a big time program against big time competition at Fl. St....he just has typical pro adjustments to make.

I think he'd already be back in the starter's role if Parcells wasn't afraid of ruining him if he had another bad game...next year, we won't be having this conversation. I still blame the coaches for putting him in some very bad situations early in the year by the schemes we played. With a rookie, 5th round CB, you'd expect to protect him somewhat for most of the year...I think we should have been more careful with WAtkins when he was looking like he was coming on and actually made some plays on balls in the secondary...then he hit a really horendous couple of games and was demoted.

 

[aikemirv]

Henry has done it before and been very successful. IMO, there is no reason not to put him there. A Glenn would be fine at that corner spot and Reeves could come in in the nickel. This would be the quickest way to shore up the secondary.

As far as the money factor, with the way the salary cap is going, you can afford it. If you draft a corner with a late teen to early 20 pick the salary would be less than a good FS.

If Watkins steps up, I am all for it, but at this point in time make the move and run with it for the reaminder of the season. I don't think it is a hard decision.

 

[Apollo Creed]

What is Bill's infatuation with Keith Davis, sure he's a good special teamer (not quite the accomplishment we try to make it out to be) but has he ever had an interception or a deflected pass? It just seems ilke hes always outta position, and just seems lost in a basic cover 2 coverage scheme.

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

Two words: Abram Elam
mark it down!

 

[joseephuss]

It looks as if Henry's weakness is zone coverage. I think he does well at man coverage, but doesn't have quite the feel for zone. A move to FS would put him in zone coverage a majority of the time. Plus he is not a guy that covers a lot of ground. He is a physcial cover guy that relies on knocking receivers off their routes and using his body. As a FS, he would have to rely on speed, which he doesn't have. He may be able to do it, but it is not a guarantee that he will be successful at a move to FS. The FS position needs an upgrade, but I don't think Henry would be that guy.

His performance as FS in Cleveland his first couple of years say otherwise!

Actually, I think he was the nickel corner, not the FS.

 

[aikemirv]

Actually, I think he was the nickel corner, not the FS.

It was discussed many times and he was a FS.

 

[burmafrd]

this BS about the money is just plain STUPID. Put him where he will do the most good- money is NOT important vs winning the SB.
He has GOT to be better then any other safety we have right now. If the other team has a real threat at TE, like Crumpler, put him on that guy one on one. Man the other two WR's with Newman and Glenn. We can shut down just about any team we are likely to face from here on.
