Terry Glenn Won’t be a Factor? Oh Really?
It seems like I am not the only Dallas Cowboys fan who believes Terry Glenn can play an important role in this Super Bowl run. As Bloggin the Boys found today, the Sporting News has followed suit and said Glenn could run under the radar of opposing defenses in the playoffs. Read the piece here. But I will take out the bit on Glenn:
Terry Glenn, WR, Cowboys. After missing the first 15 games recovering from knee surgery, Glenn returned in the regular-season finale. His raw speed allows him to stretch the field better than any Dallas receiver, including Terrell Owens. And with T.O. recovering from a high ankle sprain, Glenn could add an important dimension.
I don’t really care how bad Glenn looked against the Redskins on Sunday. He was thrown to three times. It was raining and the field was a slippery mess. He was just out there to get that football feeling back in his gut. He’s practicing and that’s a good sign. He even took a good hit to his knees last week and came out fine. If Glenn is out there with a healthy Terrell Owens, which appears to be the case as reports are surfacing that he’s out of the boot and recovering well ahead of schedule, and a healthy Patrick Crayton and Jason Witten, there is no telling what is going to happen out on that field. When the passing game clicks, the running game gets stronger. Marion Barber, who hasn’t been offered a contract yet, will be running for one if he wants to stay in Dallas.
Honestly, I don’t care if we play the Seahawks or the Redskins because there are reasons to want to destroy either of those teams. Possibly, the Seahawks might be a more intriguing matchup because of the infamous Tony Romo fumbled snap that lost the playoff game last year. But with the Redskins being a divisional enemy, that sells, too.
You naysayers who think Glenn is worthless, keep thinking that. All it takes is one 50-yard bomb to shut you all up.
The only dimension Glenn will add is the "pointing fingers and blaming everyone else for his lack of production" dimension. You said he’d be getting touchdowns last week and he did nothing. Now you’re saying he’ll be big in the postseason. You’re still full of it. Glenn is done. Done done DONE. He’s one of those pathetic athletes who has no life outside of football and can’t retire until he embarrasses himself. Of course, the cowboys are used to that (See Smith, Emmitt; Dancing with the Stars Champion) so I don’t expect you cowboys fans to recognize it until later.

January 2nd, 2008 at 4:32 pmGehenna is obviously clueless. Let me ask you this, have you ever seen Glenn not double covered? Exactally all the time. But guess what, he won’t be anymore and if he does he is going to provide some serious oppurtunities for crayton and wittne under neath. we no longer just have TO to require the double team but if they double up on TO, Glenn is wide open. Tony will throw to either guy if he sees 1 on 1 and 8/10 they will get the catch. So please, go away your ignorant comments, you obviously don’t understand what threats like Glenn and TO can pose for a defense and how coverage will be exploited with those 2 on the field at the same time…

January 3rd, 2008 at 9:34 pmDanegr, you’d be right if the Cowboys had some sort of wayback machine where they could get a younger, more spry Terry Glenn from back when he was still in his 30’s. But much like Dan, you seem to be incapable of accepting the passage of time and recognizing when things change. Terry Glenn WAS a good #1 receiver. Now he’s good at playing golf and running his mouth, and not in that order.
