He's still around with the Giants AFAIK, I assumed Pad was suggesting a promotion to Assistant HC to sneak him in.
Sure, but keep the prologue short if s'il vouz plait? I have a notion of what they are doing with the offense to compensate for Henne's flaws and would like to hear your view.
How about Gary Kubiak for OC if he gets canned? I think he is a great Offensive coach. I do think if he gets fired this year though, he goes to Denver as the head coach. He and the Broncos owner have a great relationship.
To be honest, yes. While it'll be for naught for the most part, you started the whole trying to make a coherent argument thing and now you have to ride it out
Only Chad Henne will decide that. I have no inside knowledge. One thing has stuck with me until this point. It was the leak to Vic Carucci during the offseason. "Parcells is very disappointed in Chad Henne." At the time, I didn't know what to make of it. Heck, the players were not even working at the time IIRC. It was just weird timing. But after watching a season of football, I'm beginning to think that it was a motivator. I don't think Chad Henne was the man turning the lights on and off at the facility. I think it was leaked by Parcells for that reason. I did something odd this morning attempting to recollect the treatment of Tony Romo. If I recall correctly, he was benched at least once by Parcells. I have not done too much research on it. But I did see the statistics and it was far more impressive than what I've seen here. I gotta get some sleep. Finish that part of my narrative for me will ya. This is what I really want to address this morning. I don't think he is as much to blame as people have convinced their self. Don't misunderstand. I've said it a hundred times before. The accountability begins and ends at the coaching staff. I just don't think X's and O's are the issue. I think development is the issue. Now whether that falls on the quarterback or the offensive coordinator is debatable. What is not debatable is that whatever the case - accountability begins and ends at the coaching staff. Allow me this indulgence before I continue. I know a few high school offensive coordinators. I know one in particular that wants to run one play until you stop it. Then he wants to counter what you have done to stop it. That's his game. So he gets a job working for a new head coach. After one year of moving the ball effectively with the offensive coordinators way, the head coach says - "Okay fine. If you want to run that play, you have to come up with 5 different formations to run it from. Likewise with your counter plays. By the way, here is 30 more plays that I want installed." It was a marriage made in hell. Why? Because one guy wanted execution and the other guy didn't. The other guy thought that he had to fool your players. He just wasn't going to let the other team defense that one play from that same formation. Nevermind the fact that you had counters from the same formation. That formation just wasn't going to cut it. Now pick your side of the debate before you read on. I have personally pegged that head coach before. No, it wasn't the same head coach. It was a totally different team. This particular team had 5 different formations. They would motion. They would stem. But basically they ran five different plays from from five different formations........... and I pegged them. Best of all, I did it with the film that he gave me. It's an exhilerating feeling when you get it THAT right. Five formations are easy to defend when you know the five plays that will be run out of each. You can put your players in the best position to kill everything. Now it's only up to them to make the plays. The point is that there are a bunch of ways to skin this cat. In the end what matters is how well you do what you do. I mean look, I'm just a dude with a full time job piddling around with a bunch of boys. I never feared the guy that tried to formation himself to victory. I feared the guy that did EVERYTHING out of one formation. Why? Because I had no idea of what was to come and more often than not that "vanilla guy" did what he does really well. Which brings me to the NFL............. I think something that is continually missed around here is how thorough SCOUTING is in the NFL. EVERYTHING is observed on an NFL field. Everything from the pregame warmup of the punter, the snap of the long snapper,the cadence of the quarterback, ect... That's all BEFORE the coin is every tossed in the air. It's so much that I don't even attempt to do half of it by myself. In the NFL, men sit in cramped quarters crunching numbers and devouring every game tape in your life. They do not get interviewed. They are never seen. Their names are certainly not on the website. They crunch the information and they present it to the coordinators. Without them, your team sucks. And as a player in the NFL, these scouts know you better than you know yourself. You add another chapter in a book of your life each time you take the field. Stupid coaches ignore this information as irrelevant. Championship coaches win with it. On September 12, 2010 the Miami Dolphins added another chapter to their book. They played the Buffalo Bills on that day. Here is the play by play: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/20100...:analyze/analyze-channels:cat-post-playbyplay Look at the first series. If you have it on DVR, WATCH the first series. The Buffalo Bills had two safeties on the field for the entire series. Now ask yourself this question. Has anything changed since the first series of the year? Can we run with one less man in the box? Every pass on that series went to the shallow route on the field. Now ask yourself this question. Is Chad Henne helping himself? Sure it's just one series but as I have said, it is a page in a chapter. It's a chapter in a book. Plays are what you make of them.
Well, I think that is true, here is my take on Chad Henne: Sparano, Lee, Henning, went turtle on him, meaning they have formed their opinion, stuck their heads back into their shell and simply try to take as much off of Henne's plate as possible, they go to max protects and send two receivers out into patterns, they try to keep his reads simplified to avoid turnovers. INOW, from my point of view, they are treating and calling plays for Henne as if he were a Rookie Qb which is why he is having problems in the red zone, which is why he is playing checkdown chadball, which is why we do not consistently attack downfield. At this point in time, Chad Henne plays very much like Trent Edwards did in Buffalo only he is much less afraid of being hit. 2 reads, if no one is open, throw it out of bounds.
My take on Henne is that I have seen enough action to now formulate a more solid opinion..we dont get the luxury of evaluating him like the coaches do, we have to wait for game time....without saying to much, I wanted the benching for a few reason's...His weaknesses to me, seem to be too glaring to overcome at this level, both mentally and physically.. At this point and time iam hoping for Dr James Andrews to give Pennington a bionic arm so he can keep our defense from going to waste til we locate the future.
