They have him listed as one of the two most indispensible corner backs in the league (along with the one and only Champ "The Man" Bailey). After his first few years, I wrote him off as a bust. But I didn't realize he hasn't given up a TD in 2 seasons.

My question to Cowboys fans, is if he reall is that good...

He hasn't given up a TD in 2 seasons but that's only in man to man coverage. I've seen him blow a coverage assignment playing in a zone where he was supposed to stay with a guy going across the deep middle but instead he jumped the out route up front and bit on a pump fake while the guy in his "zone" caught an easy touchdown.

Having said that, this is pretty much the only time I've seen him scored on, he's pretty damn solid as a defensive back. I've seen him drop a couple of easy int's but what corner hasn't. He's underrated because he plays for a shitty team.

very good...he had a decent rookie year and a terrible second season....since then he has really grown into his role and done very well.

I just never thought of him being that good. Guess I should start paying more attention.

I think he is pretty solid. I have have season tickets so I see every home game in person and in my opinion Henry is a better corner right now than Terrance. He is a little stronger and tends to knock the ball down more than newman. Newman has always been good at closing on a receiver and holding them to a short gain.

Newman is very solid. Henry is very solid. Roy Williams and Rookie safety are two reasons the Cowboys are 3-3. They can't cover - not even in a two deep shell. The rookie has an excuse - he's a rookie. Hopefully he'll get much better. Roy sucks at coverage because he's basically a LB playing safety. He's too heavy and not fast enough to cover his half of the field.

I thought he was pro bowl good last year. Definitely this year too - to this point.
