Ummm Aaron Glen on the Rod Smith TD

[Bob Sacamano]

I agree.

We have some really ignorant fans, too.

Like one who could watch that play and say that Glenn was blame free.

and then we have you, the critique, they do nothing but comment on the fan's behavior on a forum

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Glenn is fine on that corner, I'm glad we have him. I damn sure don't want Reeves out there.......

Reeves has given up what? 2 catches for 18 yards?

If there's one thing I've taken away from the past 3 games is that Reeves has played well and they may have no need to draft a CB this offseason.

Sorry dude but he scares me. I get nervous everytime he's out there...

You need to watch Reeves more closely. Outside of Reggie Brown's "dropped catch", teams haven't thrown Reeves way that much and have been unsuccessful when they have done so. Even on the Brown catch, Brown only had a chance to make the catch because of a poor throw and Reeves still made a good play on the ball to break up the pass.

If there's one thing I don't care much about Reeves, especially in comparison to Anthony Henry, is that Reeves doesn't seem like much of a run defender.

glenn has been a stalwart all season. all corners get beaten. the bigger question is "how do they respond?"

on one play - glenn got his bell rung bigtime. they stopped play and escorted him off the field.

he was promptly back on the field.

veteran leadership. cagy. athletic. tough as nails. a team player.

i love what he brings to the secondary.

 

[TxCowboy1]

IMO ....Jake did a great job on that play.He hung the ball up higher then normal to buy time for the play to finish the development. I am not so sure he would have had the time to wait for it.

 

[jbsg02]

When you blitz everyone else you expect maybe a little pressure and a quick throw

 

[phildominator]

I think the worst TD I've ever seen in Texas Stadium was during the dark years, the late 80s.

If memory serves me correctly, we were playing the NY Giants and kicked the ball off on a kickoff.

Our kickoff returner didn't field the ball and let the ball bounce around. The Giants recovered the ball for a TD.

Can anyone top that incident of puke-itis?

 

[phildominator]

Plummer made a great throw as well. Just a well executed play on the Broncos part.

 

[dallasblue05]

That really was not Glenn's fault. He expected that rush to get to the QB. They sent 9 guys but got zero pressure. Glenn probably figured a sack or a very fast release from Jake. He was in position for either of those plays but obviously was not thinking they would go to the house w/ that pass. Most instances the QB does not make that play.

WRONG!!!!! Playing man to man coverage means you stick to your man in ANY passing situation unless the QB crosses the LOS. He bit on that route like I was biting on some of that turkey yesterday!! There was no fake as mentioned, he just assumed Rod Smith was running an out! STICK TO YOUR MAN GLENN.........it was all his fault. You dont just give up on a play because you think the rush will get there.....thats rediculous!

You're right about that, but he hs proven himself quite well in pass coverage. run defense is usually something a CB has to be in a rythm to do well if they arent a natural at it like some of the bigger corners. Reeves hasnt seen a lot of extended action, so it would be harder for him to find that rythm!

If you watch the aerial replay of that touchdown, Denver ran the same route on the other side of the field and Newman had perfect coverage.

which means he was doing his job, unllike Glenn


welcome to the board

When a Super Bowl MVP says its really not the cornerbacks fault, I'll take his word over anyone's in this forum, whether he was a Giant or not.

 

[TwentyOne]

I actually thought Bledsoe to Bailey was worse.

Was a nice catch by Bailey. And the runback didn't look back either....

It wasn't his fault he has to cover the short route and trust the blitz to be at the QB before the WR takes of.

But he could have played it a little bit wiser. He bit hard on that comeback/in route. And so lost the play. He should have known better - he should have thought: "Hey there is a chance (and btw with Zimmer a big chance) that our blitzing is going nowhere near the QB.

Just look at the other side where TNEW was covering the other WR who went deep also. He was with him step by step.

 

[JohnsKey19]

It was the perfect play-call and Smith executed the route to perfection. 99% of CBs in the league would have given up that TD. There's no way the CB can expect the WR to run a fake 15 yd out and up against an all out blitz. Glenn had no chance.

I guess first of all you should calm down.

Then the point is not wether he played a man or a zone. The point is when you are blitzing the house the CB must first take away the short routes because these are the ones the QB will be looking for when the blitz is coming through.

TNEWs WR didn't fake a in or comback route so he stick with him because it was a man coverage. But Glenn's did fake a short route so he had to bite on it because of what i said earlier. But he bit very hard on it that was his mistake.

There are two major reasons that Glenn made a bad play on that because:

• first he was in very good position so he could have broken down the pass even if he didn't bite that hard.
• second the QB didn't fake the in route. As a good CB he should have seen that and realize that there was no need to bite on that shorter route.

All in all IMO Glenn jujst went for the big play and that was a big mistake. The playcaller gambled and the CB gambled - BAD COMINATION! BAD RESULT!

BTW: Who risks the house in a situation where your defense has control of the game and you know you are playing your third CB as a starter? IMO these two points outweight the mistake Glenn made with his overly confident attitude. IMO this one goes strictly to the one who called the play. To call a play like this in this situation is just DUMB!

Bingo.

And if you want to know exactly how dumb, consider the fact that, coming into the game, Plummer had been blitzed 96 times, and that he'd been sacked 4 times, thrown 9 TD's and 0 INT's.

The question we should be asking is why did we blitz in the first place.

 

[superpunk]

No pump fake from the Snake but Glenn bit and got beat on a pop fly to Smith - one of the worst TD's I've ever seen at Texas Stadium...

When you rush nine guys, and they can't get there before the out and up is completed - you can't blame the corner. You want someone to blame on that play, blame the 9 guys that DIDN'T get to Plummer before he threw.
