What’s really been downright naughty is the way opposing defenses have deliberately (can you imagine, DELIBERATELY) tried to stop our 2 minute “game.”

I mean it’s not fair to Henne when they do confusing shit like that. And I’ve even heard the other teams CB’s have studied Henne (can you believe!) and know what he’s doing before he does it.

Obviously Henning is leaking top secret stuff to the opposing DC.

What’s up with that?

Isn't he fired already?

Tsstamper,

OK so it’s just the play calling (*wink*).

Let me ask you a VERY SIMPLE question:

Is Henne THE ANSWER at QB?

Yes or no?

My best simple answer: I don't know

But I do know that if no receiver is running a route longer than 10 yards, it is more difficult to move 30+ yards in 19 seconds (or whatever we needed against DET).

oh come on, very easy answer---our QB sucks

THis.


2 minute drills are easily pointed at the QB.

Normally they are in charge of everything, getting people to the line, lining everybody up, calling plays, so on and so forth....


So, with such porous 2 minute play, it is obvious that Henne is 100% the problem.

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Perhaps they were just practicing their short game routes?

Don’t underestimate our Einstein coaches…

K?

BTW, if Henne had any gonads he’d flip the coaches off and call for deep routes.

The play calling is bull. That is obvious. What is not obvious is whether Henne can improve with the right coaches. We won't know that till next season.

Now don't get upset guys, I still think we need another/better QB. Please, just don't sell the farm for him. We are to close for that.

to expand just a bit more, I suppose I would love to have seen Henne during one of these last-minute drives in the past couple of games look up to Henning, smile...perhaps gesture a bit, and take hold of the last several plays.

He hasn't earned this right yet, but every player on the team HAD to know that the plays being called would not get them where they needed to be. We have to have a TD, and the plays called don't send receivers far down the field? How is that Henne's fault? Please don't tell me that Henning's calls are that hamstrung by Henne's abilities. If there's next to no chance that Henne can execute the plays to get us a TD, then why not just put Thigpen in for the last series? Why would they even play him if they were as certain as you are that he can't do it?

Henne should have spiked the ball numerous times when he didn't during end-of-game drives. Why does he do that? He's doing what he's been told/coached to do. WRs should have run deeper routes to get bigger chunks of yards or caught sideline passes. Why don't they do that? Because that's not the play that's called. If they run a sideline route and Henne throws it where they should be according to the play that's called, then they won't be there to catch it.

I suppose that's why I'd love to see what I probably never will in this Henning/Henne relationship...Henne spiking the ball when he's told to throw a screen on 1st down on the Phins 40 with a minute left (made that scenario up, but probably close to several this year). Then, he receives the play in his headset...ignores it completely...and tries to win the ball game.

Basically what you're saying is that Henne is a chimpanzee as opposed to a sloth, right?

C'mon, the QB is THE DUDE and he's got to have the gonads to say f**k off coaches I'm the one one the field and we're GOING FOR IT!

Henne is simply NOT the answer.

You got the question wrong BTW.

The financial point is your best play tsstamper.

Cheers to you for stating the obvious.

what's the question - i thought the chimp was the one who did what his owner/trainer said to do - if that's not it, then you're right...I missed it

EDIT: the is he the guy Y/N question...got it. I stand by my answer. I don't know. I will say I feel much worse about him than I did at the end of last season, but I still don't know.

Where did it get Joey Porter when he disobeyed commands last year?

People forget that the 2 minute offense wasn't good in 2008, either. We have a lack of explosive talent at the WR position. When your best receivers are two guys who are at their best running 5-10 yard patterns over the middle, it minimizes what you can do in the 2 minute drill.

And this year, the horrible pass protection has not helped. If you noticed, we started the 2 minute drill against the Lions with a 5 WR package. And we had to abandon it because our 5 linemen could not block their 4 rushers. We were forced to keep Ronnie Brown and Mickey Shuler into block, until we completed a few passes to get them on their heels. And even then, we still were keeping one of those two into block.

We have a lot of issues on offense.

Yo Cheryl, big nasty fish + stinky + female + lesbian could be misconstrued in some parts.

Try to have some tact, OK?

And BTW, if you find gonads “sexy” that’s your business.
