Why Were The Redskins Trying to Cripple Terry Glenn?
I won’t harp on the questionable hit all week, but it must be discussed a little bit more. The Dallas Morning News reports today that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn isn’t so sure Washington Redskins safety LaRon Landry (learn how to spell his name Calvin “Tattle-tale” Watkins) was really “going for the ball.” In fact, what he says is pretty damming for the Redskins. You can watch the play here.
“It shocked me,” Glenn said. “I had no idea that was going to happen. Those guys were out there trying to really take it to my knee. They know if they see us again, they will have problems, especially in Dallas. I think they were trying to hurt me.”
Landry was asked about the questionable hit. His snarky reply will cost the Redskins if they make it to the second round. This is starting to irritate the Cowboys, Landry. It’s embarrassing that you even carry the same last name as such a legend as Tom Landry.
Punk Landry said to Glenn:
“Then stop playing football. I’m not getting a big head or anything, but if he thought the hits were a little low and this and that, it doesn’t matter. It’s all part of the game. It’s going to be physical.”
I think Landry has a guilty conscious and his reply solidifies this thought. But why were the Redskins trying to ruin this guy’s career?
Coach Wade Phillips says Landry’s hit was not a late hit nor was it dirty. Fine. I will live with Phillips’ decision. I won’t bring this up again unless it is proven that Landry’s hit was on purpose and that the Redskins we’re trying to cripple Glenn.
“No, on tape he is going for the ball on the ground and then he slid,” Phillips said.
The hit was not illegal, why do we have to keep harping on this stuff? Let’s just get healthy this week and look forward to whoever comes into Irving next week.
January 1st, 2008 at 1:49 pmYou also have to remember that Terry Glenn had his knees surgically removed and replaced with fishing line and play-dough. There’s nothing left in there to break. I told you weeks ago he’d be inconsequential last game and he was. He doesn’t want to admit that he got shut down so he’s whining about stuff in the hope that you’ll be distracted by it. Your own coach says there was nothing dirty; are you suggesting that your Phillips wouldn’t have the guts to go after someone if he really was trying to end his player’s career? Either Phillips is a coward who won’t fight for his players or Terry Glenn is blowing smoke. Which is it?
January 1st, 2008 at 4:01 pmDear Candy Ass Cowboy Fans-There was NO intent to "cripple" Terry Glenn. Landry was trying to make a play on a pass that ended up in the dirt, like many of Romo’s passes through out the month of December. It was raining, the grass was slick and he slid nearly 6 feet if it were not Glenn the someone on the sideline would have been knocked over. Wipe your tears away, getting your ass tanned like that hurts but, won’t kill you. See you again in two weeks, where once again we will prove that you have no secondary, a shaky run defence, without T.O you are a one demetional offence that can be bottled up rather easily. Oh yeah, your coach is a big goose egg next to the stat registering his total playoff wins, sleep well Cowboy fans and keep thinking about the 90’s because you are not getting to the Super Bowl anytime soon
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:58 amWOw Mr. Angry Cuss Monster, that was intense. First off, you need a refresher spelling course. Secondly, I don’t know how many times I have to say the game was meaningless. No one cared about the outcome but the Deadskins. Unbelievable how spiteful and angry you guys can be. You send this one here Gehenna?
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:14 amI don’t know Charles, but I can’t say I disagree with him too much. Perhaps he’s a little blunt about it, but you’re kidding yourself about this whole "meaningless" aspect of the game. The cowboys wanted to win that one badly and they were really trying until the game got out of reach for them. And even you have to admit that they were trying against Carolina and they looked pretty shitty out there too even though they were able to pull out a win against a terrible team. And let’s not forget how the eagles shut you down completely. Your team has looked bad down the stretch and your weak rationalizations are sounding more and more desperate.
