DMN: Cowboy blog: Ranking the Parcells Guys

Ranking the Parcells Guys
You might have missed the brief buried in the middle of SportsDay about OT Jason Fabini bolting town to sign with the Redskins. I couldn't find it on cowboysplus.com, so here's what the Washington Post wrote.
We didn't treat Fabini leaving like it was big news, because it's not big news. He didn't do much in Dallas, and the Cowboys didn't try to keep him. But it is significant for one reason: It's another Parcells Guy gone.
For the purpose of this post, a Parcells Guy is a veteran who was drafted by Parcells and/or played for him at a previous NFL stop and came to the Cowboys under the Tuna's watch.
Follow the jump for my rankings of the Parcells Guys (feel free to let me know if I forgot anyone).
WR Terry Glenn – One of the league’s top No. 2 receivers. Other than mistaking a Wendy’s dumpster for a urinal – a mistake many good men have made in the wee hours of the morning – he’s been a model citizen after arriving with a rep as a troublemaker.
WR Keyshawn Johnson – Did everything Cowboys asked for two seasons – made tough catches and was excellent blocker. Cut to make room for T.O.
CB Aaron Glenn – Does good job as nickelback and is great influence on young teammates.
NT Jason Ferguson – Not his fault that he’s overpaid. Doesn’t make a lot of plays, but holds ground against double-teams.
FB Richie Anderson – Versatile guy did a lot of dirty work and was great leader. Will be a good coach if he gets another chance after recent embarrassing arrest.
QB Drew Bledsoe – Had pretty good 2005 season and handled humiliating demotion with class.
QB Vinny Testaverde – Did as well as could be expected after Quincy Carter got the boot.
OT Ryan Young – Arrived in Dallas as damaged goods and didn’t last a season.
OT Jason Fabini – Failed to beat out Marc Colombo and never made significant contribution.
FS Marcus Coleman – League suspended Lake Highlands product for first four games for violating substance abuse policy. Cut after DWI arrest a few weeks after return.
