I've been telling anyone who will listen that the Jets will finish 8-8 at best this season. Probably 7-9. -
I'm honestly surprised, especially coming from ESPN.
Guess one of their writers actually decided to put down the NY times, look at numbers and film.
Next thing we know, Fox News will run some "Middle of the Road" articles.fins4o8, Boik14, unluckyluciano and 3 others like this. -
Scout: Chad Henne threaten a defense on every level
http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast
The Sanchez stuff: Blah Blah
The "Henne can threaten the defense on every level"
Excitement level rises, THAT was our problem for the last two seasons, Defenses basically could play Red Zone defense with 8 or 9 men in the middle of the field which means:
-tough to run the ball
-In HC Sparano's words:
"..fellas I told you this last yr, but you did not want to believe it, when there are 8 or 9 men around the line of scrimmage, the Tight End is not going to eat, he is just not.."
Which is why David Martin is back in the fold, when Nolan was asked how they handled BMarsh he said "you have to double him, you cannot let him beat you"
Which means that 8th or 9th man leaves the Zone around the Los.. -

All last season, Henne was asked to win games as our running game declined and defense was swiss cheese...and he damn near pulled it off several times.
Sanchez was hidden behind a dominant D and run game, and every time they asked him to be the focus of the offense he pissed down his own leg.JMORGAN6977, ToddsPhins, smahtaz and 8 others like this. -
I love this guy. He is everything that is right in this world.

got to get it done during the game
everything else is banter

I hope they're right!dolfan7171, gafinfan and finyank13 like this. -

I just started a thread based on this very topic.
What matters to me is NOT the "rah rah our Qb is better than yours 'cause a Scout said so".
It is the fact that the Offense can now push the ball all over the field, there literally is no portion of the field that Chad Henne cannot force the defense to defend.
That has not been the case in Miami since #13 played Qb...eltos_lightfoot, Frumundah Finnatic, DolfanJake and 5 others like this. -

IIRC, that throwing off of his back foot, poor accuracy, weakish arm, were all points you brought up no? -

Well, funny this should come up, but in reality, Henne could be the biggest question mark we have in camp right now. Sure, there are other battles going on, but Henne has to DO it now. There's no later or next season or whatever...If he doesn't produce, we will be back to square one again come the offseason of 2011.

Would be almost a year old cause it was right after their first Pre-Season game.
I saw the same thing at USC. Smart, big kid that didn't have good fundementals.
Good thing he's proving me right this time.

Wonder if Williamson will get canned, the NY audience is probably pretty upset right now, especially since their best player isn't even playing this year.
I never read much of Williamson before, anyone know his roots in reporting? Any prior connection to Miami? Because if not, this is a great vote of confidence from a non dolphin fan who covers the NFL.
And i completely agree with everything he said. But of course, it's like anything, it's an opinion, Henne needs to go out there and prove it.
I think Padre, in your assessment about making defenses defend the whole field with the addition of Marshall, it goes even further having a physical freak wideout who is amoung the top run blockers in the league. How many times did R&R come close on the edge to hitting a home run all to have the CB or S make the tackle after 15 yards. If Marshall can block like we know he can, we could see some more home run type runs from our backs this year. Thats part of the Marshall package i don't see talked about very much, understandably, because of his routes running and catching ability. I would guess he will make our overall run blocking that much better.smahtaz, dolfan7171, gafinfan and 1 other person like this. -
This is one of the first articles that i've seen that picks henne over sanchez, very interesting.

From the ground up, Sanchez is ahead of Henne in terms of the fundamentals - in particular, throwing mechanics.
Henne has the stronger arm and more of a gunslinger mentality, which I like a lot.
If Henne doesn't work on setting his feet when he throws, he will never progress past where was last season; whereas, with the more solid mechanics in place, if Sanchez improves his decision-making, which comes with experience, he will end up the better Quarterback.
Conversely, with Henne's arm and brain, if he gets his mechanics under control he will pull far ahead of Sanchez and stay ahead.
What concerns me is that I have not seen nor heard one thing about Henne working on his footwork - not one. -

Henne stands tall and steps into his throws...maybe even stands in too long.Pandarilla, Phinatic425, Stitches and 1 other person like this. -
The thing about Mark is, he ended the year on a decent note. He was horrible the whole year, but in the playoffs he played respectably. Kinda had a stinker against SD but againt Cincy he was efficient, against Indy he had good numbers. Henne ended the season with 3 TDs and 6 INTs. He has no momentum going so he better kickstart it.

Henne did some of that too...I think it's to be expected of a first-year starter. Eventually and with experience, they should both improve their decision-making and controlling their mechanics under pressure.
But throwing from the pocket, I see Henne's lack of a stable launchpad his greatest weakness.Califin, gafinfan and DePhinistr8 like this. -
Henne really only had 2 stinker games...against Tennessee and Buffalo...and even though he did throw 3 INT's in the Tenn game, I think one or 2 bounced right off receivers hands.
Other than that, he was either very efficient to very good. Not bad for the first 13 starts of a career. -

None of their comments even take the article to task. None of them discuss the differences of the players, the just come back with "***!"
Good argument!
And why is it so hard for them to realize that they got into the playoffs playing 2 teams that took the weeks off and then ran into 2 teams that couldn't kick field goals...
Just like our 2009 season, as magical as it was, happened in large part because we played a lot of weaker competition down the stretch. It's not damning what happened, but it's a large reason why. -
Not saying it can't improve. I just think it is something he really needs to improve.DePhinistr8 likes this. -

You can win with a guy like that, but can you count on him? I guess time will tell. -
