60 yards on 11 attempts is 5.45 YPA.
Russell's career YPA is 6.0.
Okay, I take it back. 60 yards on 11 attempts is worse than JaMarcus Russell's average career performance.TheMageGandalf, dolfan7171, gafinfan and 1 other person like this. -

I like how people are not taking into account that those 3 droped passes would have led to more passing oppurtunities which means he would have had more than sixty yards passing.

I'm not saying Henne is excused for sucking it up entirely, but Josh Freeman hiked the ball on one side of the field, the less hazardous one.
If my memory is off feel free to correct me (It's very well possible).
You can't really draw any conclusion from Henne's performance individually from that game. The only thing you can really gather is that our team as a whole was/is NOT prepared for rain games.TheMageGandalf likes this. -
Not sure why this distinction between what Henne's stats really were--5/11 for 19 yards--and what Henne's stats might have been had those balls been caught is eluding people.
Are we done recycling the same excuses about the field? They don't hold up.dolfan7171, gafinfan and first&goal like this. -
I'm hoping Henne does poorly so Des will have a nervous breakdown..:D
The offense will be fine, I'm focused on the Defense especially the secondaries ball skills, and of course the Return game..PCobbs is not a KR.GMJohnson likes this. -

I think if you factor in both Marshall drops and the Hartline one, you probably have 8 for 11, 75 yards. And of course, he probably has even more attempts since each one of those completed passes would have extended the drive.
But that is neither here or there. I expect him to look better and have better stats against the Jaguars.Frumundah Finnatic, dolfan7171 and djphinfan like this. -

The question in my mind is will Sparano have this team ready to play or will tony be playing mad scientist again? I'd dearly like to see the first team unit on the field together for the entire first half, THEN we'll get a better idea what we've really got.

Reality is that we all want Henne to play better but if he hadn't had those drops then the resultant stats considering conditions would not have been complained about. Which was the point I was making.jetssuck likes this. -

Yawn. That article is what I call a pathetic attempt to make a preseason game sound important.

Meh. You can make an argument either way. Footing is worse in the mud, makes it hard to dig and run crisp routes. It makes it hard for the o-line to maintain their blocks as long and typically, under those type of weather conditions, you don't tend to show a gameplan of going deep too often.
Oh, plus hiking the ball from the mud each time pretty much guarantees a sloppy ball with mud on it. Not the same as coming from the turf.
It also didn't help that Henne threw a swing pass to Ricky for negative yardage as well. -
I don't care about the stats.
Henne needs to look good.
2 checkdowns to the fullback and 3 drops was sad.
We looked arguable worse, or as bad, as the 3rd worst team in football last year.
This game shouldn't have the weather conditions. No excuses.
Look sharp like the playoff team I believe they are.gafinfan likes this. -

Who cares, you don't show a lot on offense in the preseason. Henne will be fine, if he was 10 for 10 with 4tds it wouldn't mean anything either, these aren't real games.

If I blame anyone its Sparano for not having his team go mano emano in the mud and motivating them enough to kick their *** strait up. Preseason is all about vanilla vanilla, just lining up and beating the guy opposite of you.
Come out and play like your hungry, play like you have expectations, preseason or not..
I also believe our players had no emotional edge playing in that stadium that night, so Iam sure the morgue had its affect on some players. -
Just a thought and could be completely off point but does anybody else think that maybe Chad has been hendered by watching and learning from Pennington?? It just seems like Henne likes to settle for the little dink and dunk passes to quickly. I understand that you have to have the little clock in your head, but in reality you have to give your recievers a little more time to get open before you check down. I hate the stupid little dump off to the FB that gets 2 yards!! I'd rather try and complete a pass thats 15 and have an incompletion. There is a chance you get a PI call against the DB or the player catch's the ball. I just think Henne needs to be able to feel the pressure a little bit better than what he does. If there is no pressure hold onto that ball a second longer and let your WR get open deep and hit that.
I think this is a progression thing that he will pick up hopefully sooner than later, but if he can start to feel that pressure a little more he's going to jump in his development leaps and bounds. -
Are people really freaking that we only scored 7 points in a downpour, in the mud, in our first preseason game? Practice all you like but you can't simulate the real thing.

Did you guys forget? We won the kick off, we had choice of possession or field position. We could have had the nice grass instead of that tainted Marlin mud, so that first half was on us. Lets not make excuses and get ready for the jags, and hopefully a better performance all around. :scooter:

Henne dominated. Looks like we're in for a good year.
