    A better estimate would be 85.

    YAC is not a bad thing. If receivers are racking up YAC it means they're getting open and it means the quarterback is delivering the ball in a manner that allows them to keep running.

    YAC is usually the difference between an average offense and a good offense.

    And the problem with YAC would be??????

    I expect a lot with simple dump offs to Mr. Bush this season. Was thinking so even before tonight, even moreso now. YAC it up baby, I'll take it!

    How many of our 164 rushing yards were due to good blocking?

    It's not as if Henne was dinking and dunking down the field. You saw the game I assume. It was 3-wide and all over the place.

    I think his point is that Henne had an excellent game by placing passes where his receivers could run after the catch. :shifty: That is an element missing from his game before.

    Even with the YAC he still completed at least 3 passes to receivers more than 15 yards downfield.


    Or, the other explanation is that haters gonna hate.

    I saw a good deal of it and I'd agree, it was spread...like I said, both Daboll and Reggie will be huge for Chad this year. That being said, he was dink and dunking it...it was predominantly checkdowns and intermediate routes. If that works against the cream of the crop, then awesome.

    Somebody has to play Devil's Advocate, I'm sorry.

    Who cares? That was one of our major problems last year---- our YAC sucked.

    Are you implying there should be some sort of asterisk b/c we didn't move the chains 10 yards at a time? :lol:

    Haters gonna hate.

    The more YAC Henne has in this spread will more than likely be representative that Henne is on target leading his WRs. Given that has been one of the biggest complaints against Henne YAC is definitely a positive.

    I know there were plenty of fans YAC-ing about Henne's passing tonight in the game thread.

    What f***ing game were you watching? Did you watch us play AT ALL last year? We just threw down field as many times in 1 half as we did in all of 2010.

    lol at the Bills fan mad that Henne played well.

    A first down is a first down. All I'm implying is that Henne is impotent until proven otherwise. Hitting a receiver on a 7-yard slant in stride is not a big deal...it only seems like a big deal because he was horrible at such simple things last year. Baby steps though, he might just be a legit starting QB someday afterall

    Na, you clearly weren't watching the same game.

    You're trying way too hard to be ineffectively trolling.

    Throwing down the field just to throw down the field isn't impressive. Losman could do that too, but he sucked. If you're accurate down the field, then you have teams' attention

    Hey everybody..... let's all get mad b/c Henne let our playmakers do some stuff with the ball. Who's with me?!

    The nerve of Chad to let Bush & Company make Carolina's defense look silly. Boooo Booooo.

    Your last statement says what all dolphin fans already know. Its been beaten to death all offseason and I dont think anyone would deny that we need better QB and that it might come in baby steps.

    But Henne played very well tonight. Made maybe 2 bad throws all night and they were both on throws of 20 or more yards. The only real problem I saw was that offensive Miami had some very long drives that ended in field goals. Those are momentum killers. You finish those 10-12 play drives with touchdowns.

    And actually the only reason the slant was such a big deal is that its in the playbook and it wasnt really there under Henning. Literally he omitted certain routes from his playbook almost entirely.

    I'm gonna go to the Bills forums to tell them the same thing.

    Just need to wait til they get a playmaker.

    Good post, and I agree. Don't get me wrong, Henne played well and he deserves kudos...but he didn't make any throws that Cleo Lemon couldn't have made today--that's all I'm saying. He managed the offense well though and Daboll's system is much better than Henning's, I'll admit

    Ahhh, so a QB who basically had the long ball stripped from his game for a year or two doesn't need time & reps to work on his touch?

    You realize that those incomplete throws down field served 2 major purposes right?
    a. they showed Henne has the awareness and vision to see the guy who has a step downfield.
    b. do you realize the incompletions (that you're whining about) serve to soften up the defense and keep the safeties from creeping up to the box? But with how ineffective our ground game looked, I could see how that might go unnoticed to someone of your caliber. <sarcasm>

    It's considered trolling because I'm a rival fan...I stand by my OP, and in case the point is missed on people...it's basically "not to drink the Henne Koolaid" after this performance. He played well, but like I just said none of his throws were anything spectacular--and this was all against a lackluster (at best) defense. Trying to keep ya'll on a level playing field

    Have you ever watched Tom Brady play a football game, the way he puts the ball for his receivers to gain yac on checkdowns, backs/welkers/eddlemans/woodheads/faulks is how he pads stacks and brings the defense in, then he attacks seams and with go routes..

    Henne has been crippled by offensive skill players that could not do anything with yac..Reggie gives him at least one that can make some plays for him like most successful QB's have..

    Your assessment of his game shows your knowledge of it..

    Actually no, its because you troll. We have quite a few rival fans around here. The ones that troll though are no longer here.

    Its not about drinking the koolaid. I know youre a bills fan and everyone here knows youre a bills fan. You can come in peace or you continue down the path youre going down. You know the board is happy cause they got a win and Henne played well and youre doing the same crap I mentioned to you last week not to do. No one here needs you to put them in line or give them a reality check. We know it was the crappy panthers but its still an NFL team and our first stringers played well after not playing so great vs ATL last week. So there are things that the fanbase can be happy about
