Dallas Cowboy CB Anthony Henry not quite up to speed

Unknown source:

After admittedly not one of his better games of the season, cornerback Anthony Henry said he was just glad to be back on the field after missing three of the previous four games with a groin injury.Henry believes he is prepared for the stretch run."It took awhile to get adjusted to the speed," Henry said. "It was a good thing this game was against Kansas City because they're a top team in all three phases, so you know you're going to be tested."

Henry was playing at a Pro Bowl level, according to his teammates, before the injury, but he had a difficult time in coverage against the Chiefs. Coach Bill Parcells was particularly disappointed with the missed tackle that led to a first down on a third-and-12 from the Kansas City 4 in the third quarter. Parcells attributed some of Henry's struggles to rust."He wasn't limited," he said. "He just didn't play very well."
