Terry Glenn-WR- Cowboys Sep. 7 - 11:52 am et

ESPN's Matt Mosley reports Terry Glenn will miss the season due to complications in his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery.

A member of the organization told Mosley, who used to cover the Cowboys, that Glenn is indeed lost for the season. An article saying so was posted on Dallas' team site Thursday, but pulled when owner Jerry Jones decided to hold off on making the announcement formally. Jones said in a revised story that Glenn would miss "at least two weeks."

Honestly didn't see this coming... a couple of weeks yes, but not the season. Regret passing on Crayton in all those Dynastys now.

As we learned yesterday, I would wait until we get official word on this one. ESPN has been somewhat suspect in their reporting of news lately, so while I think there is a lot of validity to this story I am not sure at this point that it is something to consider as a done deal.

 
I can't access any fantasy sites from work so I was hoping they'd hold off on announcing this. I don't have Glenn, but wanted to pick Crayton up in a few leagues. I drafted him in one league that had a 20 round draft and I'm pretty sure he's on the wire in a few others.

 
DROP Romo a little bit

BUMP Whitten a good bit

BUMP Crayton a lot

BUMP TO a hair

Could make our Romo/Losman bet a little more interesting, no? :lmao:

I'd say no, but it would serve to give you more hope than you had last week.As for Glenn's injury, I'm not sure how they can tell how long he would be out and I suspect the best guess is that he COULD miss the season. Yesterday the team was saying that he would miss this week and they'd go from there. Tacking on 15 more games overnight seems to be an odd conclusion. I suppose they could put him on IR, but I think they have the option to put him on the PUP list (miss 6 weeks).
 
Is the PUP list out for Glenn? That would seem to make more sense if there was any hope of him recovering during the season, no?

I disagree with dropping Romo at all... last season; he didn't even look at Glenn. everything else is :thumbup:
Click to expand...
Amazing how he ended up with 70 catches for 1047 yds and 6 TDs without being looked at. Puzzling.. :confused: :confused:

Half of the TDs came with Bledsoe, not Romo. The game logs show that Glen's consistency suffered with Romo.

It depends. Last year Dom Davis (Williams) completed his physical and then tried to get on the PUP list and the league wouldn't let him because he had the injury at the time of the physical and it was not a new injury.I don't know what the exact issue is with Glenn and if it is new or an extension of an existing one. I'm sure the team would try to get him added, but I have no idea mediaclly speaking if they will be able to get him on the PUP list.
 
How does arthroscopic knee surgery end the entire season for him?

I already thought Crayton was a nice player laying in the weeds...but now I am interested in Sam Hurd as the WR3 as well. Romo was already locked in on Owens so i don't know if I move Ownes any higher up my board than #1 which is where I had him to begin with...

I guess Witten could get a bump but I really see Dallas getting their running game going big time now.

Romo started 10 games last year, but Glenn only played in 9In those 9 games, Glenn had 41/669/3.In the 6 games with Bledsoe, he had 29/378/3His avg's were 4.6/74/.33 with Romo and 4.8/63/.5 with Bledsoe. I'm sorry, but I just don't see any significant differences except in the TDs which are too variable and too small to compare. On top of that, Glenn had games of:6/1095/968/1504/896/78during that span of 9 games. Those #'s just don't look to me like he never looked his way. He was just as solid with Romo as he was with Bledsoe. With Bledsoe, yes he was more consistent, but he was more consistently average as he never topped 100 yds with him. He had a little more variability with Romo, but had bigger games overall. But, the original statement that Romo didn't look his way simply isn't true.

Not sure how losing a rock solid WR like Glenn would give EVERYBODY in the passing game a bump.Somebody has to suffer.
Click to expand...
Why?
Click to expand...
:eek: The only person that suffers, IMHO is (obviously) Glenn. If you add Crayton's stats from 2005 & 2006 you get 58 receptions for 850 yards and 6 TDs - very similar to Glenn's numbers last year. Based on his YPC, if you pencil in Crayton for 70 receptions, he'd end up with about 1K yards and 7 TDs - which is actually better than Glenn.

I stand corrected.... good callHowever... I don't see the offense taking too much of a step backwards... Crayton seems ready to go

Glenn *could* be out for the season, but some of us may want to temper our 'irrational exuberance'... :confused:

ESPN's web site (story by Clayton, John, not Patrick) is only saying that Glenn will miss Sunday. They mention the story on the Cowboys site about Glenn missing the season, but say he's expected to miss "at least two weeks but tests will determine exactly how long he will be out."

 
A few thoughts here. You cant put in craytons #'s. He is a different WR. Glenn caught alot of long passes and went deep on half of his plays. This hurts the Cowboys...Sure it helps crayton's #'s but you cant just plug Crayton in and expect no change.. It changes everthing. Crayton will catch more balls than Glenn would have but IMO TO just became the #1 WR in FF

PS dont count out Hurd. He is taller and faster

If losing Terry Glenn screws you, then you were already screwed.

Not true. In a PPR glenn has been a top 20 WR. In deep dynastys there is nothing left to find. I mean nothing.. So it would be = to losing a top 6-10 WR in a redraft..
Click to expand...
I don't see how Glenn being WR15 in 2005 and WR20 in 2006 in PPR is equal to losing a top 6-10 WR in redraft. I'll admit he has fared better than I thought the last two years (and I don't play in PPR), but I still find it hard to believe that Glenn being out for the season would screw anyone's team.Injuries happen. Everyone's going to lose somebody for significant time. You have to have a roster deep enough to overcome losing a decent WR2, IMO. Hence, he was already screwed if this screwed him.

Please, tell me more. :football:

I'm not so sure about the "faster" part.

He ran a 4.61 in college. I've seen Hurd play a lot and he does have some talent. He's just very raw. TO has taken him under his wing the last few years and has spoken highly of him. Hurd is considered to be a very hard worker, but he also has some bad habits that he needs to get rid of (per Parcells). Also, he has the ability to play both Flanker and split end.Don't rule out Miles Austin either. At times he's looked better than Hurd. He's raw and inconsistent also though.

Looks pretty good in the highlight video.

That's why they call it a "highlight video".

Kevan Barlow looks good on his highlight video too. Does Hurd get a bump? Sure - because he's gone from 4th WR on the Cowboys to 3rd. But Crayton will start in Glenn's place and is thus more worthy of a roster spot.

IMHO, Crayton and Hurd are very similar in their skill sets, with Hurd being taller but Crayton having better hands. Hurd in 2007 = Crayton in 2006 (for the most part). What will be very interesting is what Dallas does this off season (dynasty/keeper folks) as Crayton is a FA after this year. With Glenn out and T.O. getting older will they lock him up? Or will they simply led Hurd slide up the depth chart and let Crayton seek greener pastures? I think part of it depends on how well Crayton performs this year.

I like Crayton, but it remains to be seen if he can excel at Glenn's spot. It's a hell of a lot easier to catch passes going up against a nickel back as opposed to a #2 CB. A lot of slot WR's are just that, slot WR's. Take Welker for instance. I think he'd be less productive in Stallworth's role as opposed to where he'll be playing now (all be it NE's offense is all about spreading the ball).

Not that this bandwagon needs any more momentum, but in the only game Terry Glenn missed due to injury last year (Week 10 against the lowly Cardinals defense), Crayton's numbers were 5/104/1.

It makes a lot of sense since it would take him a couple weeks to get ready to play anyway, but I don't think he'd ever be allowed to put on a Cowboys uniform again. But they did sign the guy who disrespected them on their own field so who knows.
 
Is this actually official yet or is this still speculation? I imagine Joe will be waiting for an official release before sending out a Breaking News e-mail.
