Coach Tony in today's presser stated that so far Henne has a "66 pct completion for whole camp ... 61 pct on 3rd down conversions".
So many players im looking forward to see during pre-season. Henne, White, Davis, Smith, Clemons, Wake, ect... Training camp is cool, but I wanna see some hitting already.
"Sparano said Chad Pennington's numbers are "slightly better than Henne's, and rookie QB Pat White's numbers are slightly worse."
as long as his incompletions hit the ground, i dont care what his completion percentage is. defense wins championships!!!
Is Henne more accurate than Pennington? i just finished watching the practice highlights from today on the dolphins official site on aquavision: http://www.miamidolphins.com/newsite/aquavision/aquavision.asp?category=1&mediaid=44002 in the qb drill, the qb's were throwing the ball at this net target with 3 small squares that are just big enough for the ball to fit in. Henne was the only one that wrung it. He did it twice! I know a practice drill is a lot different than a real nfl game. Pennington has proven that's he's accurate in real nfl games, Henne hasn't had that chance yet. But it made me wonder who was more accurate. I guess we can compare both qb's accuracy in college since they were both starting qb's in college, but we can't compare both of them in the nfl b/c henne hasn't had his chance yet.
I could have sworn I saw a post today with a quote about Henne struggling and not getting close to scoring on 11 on 11's???? Anyone else see that? EDIT Found it http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thed...ne-struggles-during-evening-practice-session/ It generally was a bad day for the offense. But Henne set the tone. Expected to be the QB of the future, Henne continues to struggle during camp running the two-minute offense. In fact, Henne rarely drives the team into reasonable scoring position.
2 days into 2nd week of TC, not quite ready to declare Henne is a failure in the 2 minute drill, and not quite ready to crown him the 2nd coming of Dan Marino. I will be watching Henne and White with great anticipation Monday vs. Jags in a "real" game situation. Tony likes to "test" his guys, "push them to their limits" and see how they react. He is probably pushing Henne hard in the 2 minute drills, and will keep doing so, harder and harder, until Henne "gets it". So I'm not ready to declare the sky is falling for Henne in 2 minute drills just yet.
Chad the Lesser will be an understudy for @ least another season or two. He should be awesome by the time he can actually legitimately bench Chad the Greater, however might be a while, Pennington has come back stronger & shows no sign of decline. If he can improve on last years performance the Henne will sit through 2010, maybe longer; we've got a starting QB & face for the Franchise: Chad Pennington
