The ghost of Terry Glenn

[Bleed Blue]

I know Terry has been participating some and running after his knee surgery in Spet and a return late could help the Cowboys in the late games and the playoffs. That's a long time to keep a roster spot for a player that is older and you don't know if he can really help or not. What Glenn does is scare the he** out of D coordinators with his speed combined with Witten,T.O. and Crayton. Sound good? I know it does and that's why the door is still open. If and when he comes back he has a small window to prove his salt or it's a wasted space. I hope the magic of 2007 continues and this is a great story to put in the books after the Super Bowl but for now the ghost is all we got. thoughts?

not sure he will be a real speed threat anymore . He will probably still be able to get and go but from reading the reports and such doesnt look to good in the speed dept. He will being alot of experience and intelligence and a great a pair of hands with awesome route running. dont remember him dropping too many passes in his time in dallas

i'm really not sure what you want the thougts on?

im assumming on what Terry can give us as far as WR skills.

if so, then its easy

More than what Crayton, Hurd, or Austin can give

Terry not only has playoff experince, but he still has great hands, an great route running. he may not have the speed, but you can bet he can still catch.

Terry forces teams to choose between triple teaming owens, and getting toasted, or doublein owens and getting toasted, or singling owens and getting toasted.

Simple and easy.

I really was vague and left the door open for discussion. Speed,age,rehab,what he will or won't be able to do,His scare factor,When he will be back or his window to prove himself. Thanks for your comments!

I listened to ESPN 103.3today for the first time in a long time, and the idiot host, Kevin Kiley kept trying to start a controversy about Glenn returning.

He kept insisting that TO will explode once Glenn gets back, if Romo throws Glenn more passes than him. He had a bunch of guests on his show and everyone of them shot down his ridiculous idea.

I don't think Glenn scares defensive coordinators that much. A healthy Glenn scares DCs more than Crayton, Hurd or Austin, so that is a plus.

I agree I don't see that as being a problem. I think TO may just understand that this team has a chance to get something he has yet to get in his career and that is a SB ring. I also think TO knows that a healthy Glenn could put pressure on a defense and help free him up.

 

[David276]

he will explode with tds and yards because they wont be able to contain all of dallas weapons.

 

[sago1]

TO won't explode with Glenn's return at all. Glenn established a good relationship with TO because he had some problems when in NE so he could sympathize with TO. They have remained friends and often text each other during Glenn's rehab.

I haven't heard anything about Glenn inability perform at previous level so I suggest we wait until we get feedback on how he does in practice starting tomorrow. Too many on this board to quick to caste his return as a negative; similar to Ellis before he returned. We need glad to give us a chance to beat the Pats. We don't match up well with their WRs otherwise.

What reports have there been about his speed? I'm sure he hasn't tried to run all out yet so I don't think anyone has much insight into whether his speed will be there.

I think the guy is confusing Romo with Bledsoe.

Bledsoe was the guy that kept throwing to Glenn and in the end it cost him his job when he went to Glenn when the play was called to the other side.

Romo has done a very good job of spreading the ball around...heck if anything he was pressing to get it to Owens to start out (Buffalo game) and learned to do otherwise when the coverage dictated otherwise.

 

[Jack-Reacher]

How do we know for sure that his speed has been diminished? Most everyone on this board was convinced that Greg Ellis would be a step slower and not as effective, and yet he has proven to be as good if not better than last year.

Having Glenn on the field opposite Owens is s serious problem for any Defensive Coordinator. You cannot leave TG isolated in man, nor can you afford to leave Owens on an island either. That ties up both of your safeties and it leaves Witten one on one with a linebacker. The entire dynamic of our offense changes with Glenn on the field.

 

[DasTex]

He'll be used just like Wes Welker. That guy has no top end speed, but he's quick, good hands, and good routes.

Pats have Moss and Wes
We have TO and Glenn

Welker is more shifty than Glenn. He has that return man type shiftiness, which helps him find those small openings that Moss and Stallworth create on the outside. Glenn is a different type of player, but he too can find open spaces. I just see the approach a little different.

You're dead on point!!! I bet TG is just as quick and fast as he has been. DC will have their hands full dealing with our recieving corp but the icing on the cake is that BIG oline which gives Romo plenty of time to pick out open recievers. Defenses may cover us but how long can the cover us. Romo gets plenty of time to find open guys...

The good thing is that Miles Austin has the same speed that Glenn has. As Austin builds experience with increased playing time, he'll start to command similar respect.
