    I already like Buchanon - he is starting off with a clean state. I wish the Texans staff will do the same when evaluating his performance with Glenn's. Let the better player fill the role.

    Anybody watch KTRH Channel 13 sports tonight?

    Bob Allen said that Glenn wasn't happy with the trade at all...don't remember Allen's exact words though. I wasn't really paying too close attention though...I didn't expect it because I thought they were just recapping the Texans pre-draft moves.

    "Aaron's reaction was positive," Capers said. "Aaron is a competitor, and he has a lot of confidence in his ability. We had a good meeting. Like with everything, Aaron looks forward to the challenge."

    Makes you wonder what's going on here. I don't think Bob Allen named any sources...not sure if he actually talked to Glenn or not. I sure hope its just something that has been fabricated...we really do need 3 solid corners.

    I eat my previous words.

    I wouldn't do this trade if I was the Texans.

    Aaron Glenn lives in my building here in Dallas, TX (Las Colinas). I'm going to have to tell him how much I missed seeing him in a Texans' uniform.

    I'm not sure what they saw in him. Oakland sure as hell didn't have a problem seeing him go. We probably could have traded less.

    What they saw in him was his physical skills but he has 0 heart.

    Like I said 5 months ago, the Raiders accept/embrace baggage but they didn't accept him. That shouldve been our 1st clue.

    Once again, history makes me look good :D

    I've never seen an NFL player run away from contact like Buchanon. He's the MoT of the NFL.

    Bingo, the Raiders pride themselves on having guys a taco short of a combo plate as long as they can play football, this guy isn't just a headcase, he's a headcase who can't play.

    His idol is Deion Sanders, but he seems to have only developed Deions tackling ability and not his coverage/interception/return ability.

    Well this thread came back from the dead! Might as well revamp it a tad. I wouldn't mind having Glenn on the team right now. However, i'd still like an offensive line so we can see if we actually drafted a good QB. It's just impossible to judge him vs some like Big Ben who got to take naps in the pockets all day before he threw the ball. :mad:

    seriously.... thats y i personally like big corners who can bump and run....aaron played like buchanon, gave him a 10-15 yard cushion and ran by him.... atleast now I see y Capers let him go.... we can do the same thing w/ a cheaper and younger guy....i.e. buchanon..... lol
