FYI

Today at press conference, Parcells saying Henson will not make roster.

Mike the Brit

Well, there's the difference between master and pupil. Would Belichick EVER say such a thing publicly about a player currently on the roster? You'd either have to be the world's worst man-manager or the world's best to do that sort of thing.

That was the first thing I thought too. I can only hope that the coach and the player had talked about it before hand.

Wow. That sucks. I hope Drew catches on somewhere. He's a good guy, and has a ton of potential.

Forget about the personal slight to Henson, its just a dumb business move. Why announce to the world you are cutting a former top prospect. Considering the stiffs a lot of teams are starting at QB, let alone rostering as backups, someone would surely be willing to part with a Day 2 pick for a guy with Henson's chimeral "upside."

Or suppose Tony Romo got hit by a bus on the way to practice tomorrow.

Why would any coach ever announce that a player won't make the roster before he's actually cut? And Parcells isn't stupid.... It's mighty tempting to come up with wild theories that, say, Jones didn't want him to cut Henson so he's forcing the issue. As I say, just wild theories...

Parcells did say that Henson had been notified, and it came down to Rookie - Matt Baker from NC earning the 3rd spot.

Parcells did say he would elaborate more at a later date and seemed to imply something was in the works.

In Dallas I hope we have had the last baseball playing QB, Q Carter, C Hutchinson, D Henson.

Wow ...

You could see this coming. Mr. Henson played 0 minute in pre-season.

But you have to wonder what Mr. Henson did for Mr. Parcell to publicly humiliate him.

Probably told him he liked playing for the Yankees better.

Michigan Dave

He was Jerry's guy. Talking to Drew, he said he never felt he had a fair shot there. Parcells wanted to make the team his, and squash any thought that he would be another Switzer/Campo who swooned at Jerry's beck and call. Jones wanted Henson to start, and made that known. Parcells started him on Thanksgiving 2 years ago, pulled him at halftime, and then was pretty much done with him. It's how Parcells is (Pats fans know how he likes "his" guys) and unfortunately for Drew, his dream of being a Cowboy is over. He'll catch on. Trust me, his upside is amazing.
