In the Dallas - Saints Pre-Season Game Glenn (and Bledsoe) have been putting on a heck of a show.

Glenn made an absolutely spectacular circus catch to give the Cowboys their first TD of the game.

Meantime, the Dallas D stuffed Reggie Bush on his first touch of the game.

Yep, it is only pre-season, but Glenn it should be noted, is leading the Cowboys Receiver Corps with 9 catches for 189 yards, a long of 52 yards and 2 touchdowns. Only 1st year player Rector has hauled in more passes, though he has no scores to show for his efforts, and his action was less in the prime of these games than was Glenn or Hurd's.

We all know Bledsoe likes to get settled with a receiver, Glenn's long-time success with Drew Bledsoe at the helm makes it less and less likely that Owens will outshine Terry as the season gets into gear . By years end, who knows, but this looks very good for Glenn (and the Cowboys) right now.

Glenn still responds to tough-love tactics

By CLARENCE E. HILL JR.

STAR-TELEGRAM STAFF WRITER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/MATT SLOCUM
Terry Glenn stretches for a 28-yard touchdown catch in Saturday's preseason win over the 49ers.

IRVING -- Cowboys coach Bill Parcells doesn't care if anybody likes how he's handling receiver Terrell Owens.
Asked about some of his own players chirping about a perceived double standard, Parcells said: "Them players need to worry about themselves, their job and what they are doing. There are some that have been with me that know what I am doing. Then there are others. They are going to have to learn."
Count receiver Terry Glenn among the informed.
If anybody knows, understands and can relate to the curious ways of Parcells, it's the 11th-year veteran Glenn.
Glenn, 32, understands because his initial controversial-turned-father-son relationship with Parcells dates to 1996 when both were with New England. Legend says Glenn was forced upon Parcells by management in the first round of the NFL Draft. Parcells wanted defensive end Cedric Jones before being reminded he was there to cook the meal, not shop for the groceries.
Then came the infamous "she" reference in training camp when Parcells gave an effeminate moniker to Glenn for missing time with an injured hamstring.
As the nation has watched Owens miss 21 practices over the past month with a sore hamstring, drawing no public criticism from Parcells, Glenn is still getting his version of tough love. When painful blisters forced him to miss practice in training camp a couple of weeks ago, Parcells let him have it.
He may not "know" Owens, but he has that type of relationship with Glenn.
"Terry understands everything about me," Parcells said. "He does. He's seen it all. He knows what I want, and he does it."
Of course, Parcells knows and understands Glenn, too, which is why he traded for him shortly after landing in Dallas in 2003.
Glenn had an Owens-like fall from grace following Parcells' departure from the Patriots in 1997. Suspended for five games in 2001 -- four by the league and once by the team -- he was traded to Green Bay in 2002 for two fourth-round picks. He had a solid season in Green Bay, catching 56 passes, but never quite fit in with the Packers and was given away to Dallas for a sixth-round pick.
"I told Jerry [Jones], if this guy is ready to go, he's going to be one of the best guys in football," Parcells said.
There are few people who would argue that now. Glenn caught 62 passes for 1,136 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He became the first Cowboy to top the 1,000-yard barrier since 1999, and he was second in the league with 18.3 yards per catch. He has eight catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns in the preseason.
Parcells said a more mature Glenn is playing his best football since he's been in Dallas.
Credit the chemistry he has with quarterback Drew Bledsoe, also dating to their days with the Patriots. But credit the still-speedy Glenn, too, with being very good and very competitive.
After playing second fiddle in the media to Joey Galloway in 2003 and Keyshawn Johnson in 2004 and 2005, could Glenn be a little salty about Owens' arrival as the savior of the passing game?
"As far as other receivers coming in through here, I'm not stupid," Glenn said. "I see it, but you just let it go. I go out and play hard. It makes you play a little bit harder, but when I go out there, I go all out anyway."
Glenn's competitive nature should not be construed as jealousy or envy. He believes the Cowboys have a chance to go to the Super Bowl with Owens.
"That's another reason why I was rooting for T.O. to come here because I know the attention he grabs," Glenn said. "That should help me get open, help [Jason] Witten get open, help the running game get open. I look at him coming back here helping our offense. We all complement each other."

Football: Glenn stepping up for Cowboys

Terrell Owens hasn't played a down in the preseason, but that doesn't mean the Dallas Cowboys have been without a Pro Bowl-caliber receiver.
If the team named an exhibition MVP, Terry Glenn would be the runaway winner. The 11th-year player enters tonight's finale against Minnesota with nine receptions for 189 yards (a 21.0 average) and two touchdowns.
One of those scores came on a spectacular play in the end zone in which Glenn reached around the head of a New Orleans defensive back to make a one-handed grab of a Drew Bledsoe pass.
Coach Bill Parcells suggested Glenn's play is a byproduct of the team's decision to sign Owens in the offseason.
"Terry is competitive," Parcells said. "I'm telling you, Terry don't want to look bad."
The Cowboys expect Owens to have a similar attitude. After missing much of training camp and three preseason games with a hamstring injury, Owens returned to practice Tuesday.
"It went OK, and he was fine (Tuesday) and was fine this morning," Parcells said, referring to Owens' work in Tuesday's afternoon practice and Wednesday's morning session.
"If he feels well, we'll dress him," Parcells said. "But I'm not sure we'll use him. It's up to him."
There are advantages to Owens skipping the game. The Cowboys don't practice again until Monday, so he would have four days of continued rehab work if he doesn't play.
"We'll see how it goes," Parcells said.
Glenn's competitive nature hasn't prevented him from rooting for Owens to return.
"He should help me get open, help (tight end Jason) Witten get open, help the running game get open," Glenn told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Parcells chooses his words carefully when responding to questions about Owens, but that wasn't the case when reporters quizzed the coach this week about Glenn.
"He is a player — a good player," Parcells said of Glenn. "But more than that, he knows how to play."
Parcells and Glenn enjoy one of the strongest coach-player relationships in the league. The bond was formed when they were with the New England Patriots in the 1990s.
"I don't know why I hit it off with the kid," Parcells said. "It just happened. I can't tell you why ... I just like him."
But what about the time Parcells referred to Glenn as "she" because the player was nursing a hamstring injury during Patriots training camp?
"We used to laugh about that when they were all writing about it," Parcells said. "I told him if he kept catching passes, we'd call him Miss America."
Last season, Glenn caught 62 passes for 1,136 yards and seven TDs. His 18.3 yards-per catch average was first in the NFC.
"I told Terry the other day, he's a better player than he was three years ago when he came here (in a trade with Green Bay)," Parcells said. "He's just grown up completely. He knows how to train, and he's very professional."
And he says he's all about winning.
"What motivates me is to see the smiles on the faces of my teammates when we win," Glenn said.
