Phillips confident in Reeves?

[Vintage]

At some point the other guys on the roster have to justify their spots. I mean my gosh Reeves and Jones have been here what 3 full seasons? If they can't contribute then get them off the team.

The good news is; Reeves is only 24.

He could be a good nickleback for us for awhile.

Or he could sink; and we'll be worse off than before.

Either way, we are about to find out.

I am one of the ones that actually thought Glenn was pretty solid from what I saw, but he wasn't so great, that a young guy couldn't at least come close to his production.

I know this, I saw too many times where Glenn was a step slow on deep balls, and that wasn't refereshing to me at all.

Glenn was a good player for us for two years--not sure what you've been watching.

I do think this was the year to let him go. I'm not worried about J Reeves stepping in, though I wish we had a high draft pick behind Reeves learning the ropes and ready to go if anything happens to one of the starters.

He was OK. Nothing special, especially last year. He hasnt been at the top of his game since about 2002.

I would bet Wade knows AG pretty well from all those years in the AFC. I would imagine they evaluated him properly. Chances are we hear very little from AG again.

No, not special. And last year I thought, too, he was starting to show his age. I think this was the year to let him go, but he was a valuable role player for us for a few years at a tough position. He wasn't just a name as a Cowboy.

This seems relevant:

SCOUTING REPORT: Jacques Reeves, entering his fourth season, remains a quality special teams player and a solid fourth cornerback. He made strides last year in his press coverage technique as well as his ability to properly track the flight of the ball on long passes and make a play on it without committing pass interference. The Cowboys like his speed and toughness, but want him to work on maintaining his focus to reduce his mental errors. He's unlikely to beat out Terence Newman, Anthony Henry or Aaron Glenn, but with Henry's injury history and the propensity of teams to use four-receiver formations, the Cowboys expect Reeves to have an important role.
