lol and hes right. Aaron Glenn will always be underrated in my book. hard to say that considering hes a 3 time Pro Bowler and 1 time All Pro. 41 INT's isnt too shabby either. the guy was pretty damn solid in coverage and just always seemed to be around the ball. I believe it was Cato who referenced how they went out and dumped a bunch of money into Beasely after we lost him in the supplemental draft. jesus that was infuriating at the time.
I disagree. Glenn was never all-pro. We had to let Glenn go or we would have been in cap hell thanks to Parcells. beasley was not a high priced signing and we wound up winning only our 2nd ever AFC East title w/ Beasley as one of our corners. I appreciate your opinion, most people love Glenn. I like Glenn but I think he's overrated by most Jet fans. He's treated like revis when he's closer to Marcus Coleman.
I actually agree with you, Glenn was a consistently good player, but never great. His PDs were usually in the mid to high teens each year, and he ended up with a total of 163 passes defended. That being said he never had a great/fantastic year, he was just a reliable, good player that was not afraid to get physical.
Yep, Aaron Glenn was reliable. He didn't dominate like Revis. Like I said early, if Cromartie comes back to the Jets, then he could easily surpass Glenn in this poll with a couple of seasons. That says something about the quality of CBs our team has had.
Can I get some love for Donnie Abraham? Only played 3 seasons for us, but had 7 ints and 96 solo tackles.
Just a nitpick, but that was an expansion draft- not a supplemental draft. If you only care about the Associated Press All-Pro team, then, no, Glenn was never an all-pro pick. However, the Associated Press picks are no mo' better or official than the SN or PFW all-pro teams. Glenn was an All-AFC pick by Pro Football Weekly in 1997. The other CB spot was a tie between Dale Carter and James Hasty. The two NFC picks were Aeneas Williams and Deion Sanders. Glenn was an all-AFC pick by Pro Football Weekly in 1998. The other AFC selection was Ty Law. Glenn was an all-AFC pick by Pro Football Weekly in 2002. The other AFC selection was Patrick Surtain. Glenn made the Sporting News All-NFL team that year.
Glenn was solid cover-wise but was very weak coming up and filling at the LOS the way Revis is. RB's had a free pass by him. Not very physical. Hasty was the opposite. Ehh coverage wise but really physical in the running game.
It's not that I care only about the AP team, that is recognizes as THE AP team. When we hear so and so made all-pro it's not b/c of the Sporting News. He was never an all-pro corner. he was a good plaer but one vastly overrated by my fellow Jet fans. I'm not saying he was a bad player but I think Jet fans almost treat him the way we treat Revis now and there's no comparison btw the two. Glenn was a good corner, revis is on a HOF path.
