Try around 4:40 on the clip if you want to skip right to it. :)

But there's plenty of other good stuff, too. He's much more forthcoming than he's been lately with our media.

Ha ha, but it's BILL who opened the door. Not us. :D

[dbair1967]

Ha ha, but it's BILL who opened the door. Not us. :D

Bill knows Henson needs to be on the field this year

I just hope he also knows Zimmer needs to be on somebody else's staff for 05 :D

David

[Cheap Shot Artist]

Ha ha, but it's BILL who opened the door. Not us. :D

Well, let Quincy run as fast and as he can and let Henson throw it as far as he can

The sooner the better

Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's?

But with Zimmers experience in "building defenses", he can take his immense talent to a Home Depot workshop

Thanks for clearing that up. I am downloading real player to see if I can listen to the conf. When I tried to open the one I had, nothing happened. I may have messed up the player when I did a system recovery on my POS computer :o

Go Sox! Oh Freak'in yeah!

[ddh33]

I sure don't want to rush Henson into action too soon, but I got to be honest - I'm dying to see the kid. I believe he's the future, and I would just as soon see the future now. I'm glad to know that Bill is encouraging when he's speaking about it though.

[trickblue]

Pour me a flute of the bubbly LTN... I am celebrating with you...

[BUSDRIV3RDH]

One way or the other it is time to start getting him on the field in whichever limited capacity it may be.

[davidyee]

what's the rush to bring this to the media? Is he trying to light a fire under Vinny? Is our season over and he's ready to give the kid some snaps?

Is BP really confident that Henson is an upgrade over Vinny right now? I'm not buying his bait just yet. Let's play to our potential and win some games, st the 11 to 12 game mark we should have an idea if it's Henson's year or not. Now is a bit early IMHO.

If you listen to the whole statement Parcells speaks of how he looks against our defense in practice. Having just seen Roethlisberger first hand perhaps this "exciting potential" is showing that he's capable of a Big Ben performance.

[Juke99]

ya know, I could get to like this Parcells guy after all. :)

[MikeD17]

hey its about ****ing time we bench this bum.


Like I said he gets benched after we lose to the packers.

latuna i told you we were making a trade

Not a bad observation. I hope you're right.

[TheSkaven]

Why is Bill telling this on a Green Bay Website :confused:
Because he was asked a straight forward question from the Green Bay media and he gave an honest answer. Thanks for the link, HH. It's now clear that unless this team puts together some kind of winning streak, Henson is going to take over before week 10.

[Jimz31]

I hope you are right, however, let's not forget about how he talked about guys and then cut then less than a month later.

It could just be that this is the way that he talks when talking about players.

I think he may FINALLY be realizing that we NEED to see what we have in both Romo and Henson prior to next year, but I'm not going to say that this is different than how he talked about other players either.

Yes I think he is planting the seed and is prepared to start giving the guy a shot and get him some EXP.

Planting the Seed....not saying he is going to do it now.

I think it will fall around the middle of the season depending no the record.

Now...with that said I wonder if the Dallas Media will catch this and ask him about...point being I want to see if Bill starts trying to plant the seed with the dallas media...to get them prepared for the idea that Henson may indeed play this season.

This IMO is just getting people prepared to start the young guys once he concludes this team does not have a shot at the playoffs (record again).

[LaTunaNostra]

ya know, I could get to like this Parcells guy after all. :)
The best thing 'bout that quote, Yankees fan, is the "could get it done " part.
Get what done? Win, of course.

This idea we would only see Henson in a lost season, a "tank" job, is so opposed to the Parcells way, I'm surprised to keep seeing it. Drew comes in because he's ready to help us win, like anyone else..

[LaTunaNostra]

latuna i told you we were making a trade

Yes you did.

Lucky guess. :D

[CowboyChris]

i wouldnt go that far to call VT a ****ing bum!! although im in agreement with the majority here i too want to see Henson out there, but i dont want to see him out there if he is not ready ie QC and Hutch.

[CowboyManDan]

"I'm excited about his potential. There's a good chance that in a short time, he might be able to step in and try to do this."

That is a welcoming comment and sign for us Henson supporters. Thing is it means he is not ready right NOW...which most fo us probably agreed on...but some want to see him in now anyhow. The question is what's a 'short time' going to be? With Parcells you don't if that means week 10 of this season, week 1 of next season, or week 10 of next season. I hoping it means we get to put him in slowly in the second half of this season. Start him with a couple drives in one game...a quater in another game...a half in another game....and work him up until a couple starts this season.

[chinch]

ROTF. It's nice to see you feel Bill is catching up to YOU.

Lets get real... Tuna wants and needs to see what Romo/Drew can do.... everyone realizes this... just as he did the QBs he inherited (now removed from the equasion)

[dbair1967]

a couple of you threw this "needs to see what Romo can do" in there...

it doesnt matter people, Romo will not be the starter here over Drew Henson unless Henson gets hurt...basically what Romo is now is what he will always be here, the backup QB and the holder on place kicks...

everyone made a MUCH bigger deal out of Romo being #2 and Henson #3 than what it really was, and nobody stopped to think WHY they did this. One of the main reasons was because the backup QB gets very FEW reps in practice, whereas the #3 guy gets all the reps with the scout team offense against the starting defense. Henson needed reps more than he needed to watch Vinny practice, thus the move to #3...

good point, david. i guess that kinda coincides with what parcells said about henson looking good against our defense. i like it...i like it a lotttt!

[CowboyManDan]

Chad Hutchinson..........

Yes he did. Because both he and Henson needed more reps from their layoffs. However, it's what each player does with the opportunity that counts. Hutchinson didn't impress with running the scouting team...as you only heard Parcells say he needs much more reps. To the point where they sent him to NFL Europe. I guess it's possible that could happen with Henson, but very doubtful. Already Henson has played better in preseason, and has been much more postively adressed by Parcells.

[dbair1967]

No way Henson goes to NFLE.....I could possibly see Romo going after this season but they willkeep Henson in Dallas to work with the coaching staff

This reminds me, by the way, of something else that BP said. He said that he is grading Henson as he runs the scout team every week. I suppose, in my mind, I thought that perhaps Henson had been lost in the shuffle of preparing for the next game and coaching up the starters.

This is a welcome reminder that BP does indeed see the big picture and understands that both Vinnie and Eddie won't be Cowboys next year. He is also conscious of throwing Henson to the wolves, so he is gauging his progress on the scout teams as the weeks pass. Remember, BP doesn't want to send a message to the vet's that this is a lost season. He must convince them that Henson gives us the best chance to win on Sunday.

Henson's first start can't come soon enough for me.

[dbair1967]

Chad Hutchinson..........

I dont know who did what in pactice, but Hutchinson was the backup to Carter all year, so Romo probably ran the scout team...

if you remember it was Hutchinson, not Romo who entered in the 4th qtr of the Lions game when we had a big lead...as I recall Hutchinson was listed #2 every week last yr

With Henson running the scout team last week. I wonder how he did emulating Big Ben ?

[RCowboyFan]

Probably good, except Henson is not a big as Ben, but probably little faster than Ben though. So that might have kind of had D by surprise on how easily Big Ben can shake them off.

REmember if not for his size and mobility D, probably should have had at least 5 sacks. He threw two throws when he had two players hanging on to him both times.

Henson probably can't shake tacklers off that easily, but he can run little bit faster though. At least in College he used.

[ddh33]

Every once in a while you hear the word "phenom" thrown around. In this case, I can't help but think that in my mind. I believe Drew Henson is a phenom - or maybe that is just bliond hope. Regradless, I would love to see the kid on the field. I want to know what he can do. Of course, I don't want to put him in too fast and hurt his development. In the end, I'll just trust that Bill knows more about this sort of thing than I do.

Well same here. Since I have seen Henson his entire college career I tend to believe he is a Phenom more than average Cowboys fan probably (I know there are several other who believe that too), but I guess with Big Ben's success, it might put too much higher expectations on Henson too.

You just never know till they hit their 3rd or fourth year how good they can be really. Some might develop lot faster like Ben, and my hope or expectation is that he will. But just might not have the success Ben is having though.

Not getting Law really hurt our defense. We are getting picked apart in the secondary.

To throw Henson out there would kill this season. We'd go say 2-9.



Henson starting would hurt more.

if Parcells thinks he's ready, he's probably ready...if he plays QB the best, he should play, period.

I thought Ben was 6-5 and close to 250 plus lbs? Henson doesn't look that big though, or as big as Ben. I have seen him pretty close ( about 10-15 yards away), Vinny looked bigger than him.

Man even in person with the uniform on, he looks like Troy Aikman (way he walks or acts etc). Can you tell I have Troy Aikman fixation ? :D OK, not in a gay btw :)

Testaverde is a big QB. Listed at 6-5 233. Which is an inch taller than Henson...who's listed at 6-4 233...according to yahoo of course.

VT and Romo outplayed him all camp and earned #1 and #2.

[dbair1967]

VT and Romo outplayed him all camp and earned #1 and #2.

man you are out there sometimes Nors...

Romo looked good once in two years, when he played with the starters vs an awful defensive team.

David

[ABQCOWBOY]

VT and Romo outplayed him all camp and earned #1 and #2.

I saw every pre-season game and there is no way that I would say Romo outplayed Henson. Just not a true statement IMO.

[k19]

What they did a few months ago and what they are doing now are 2 different things. Camp means NOTHING IF Henson is progressing as well as rumors say he is.

[Portland Fanatic]

VT and Romo outplayed him all camp and earned #1 and #2.

Romo looked good the very last pre-season game...that's it. He was average at best in the other games.

Drew outplayed Romo in all the other pre-season game...then he sucked the last game...played nervous.

From what I saw Henson by far has the most potential and by NOW should be the guy that gets the snaps once BP finally sits VT....

I remember this board calling to cut Romo to the practice squad and get another vet QB in here until that last game....nuff said.

[RCowboyFan]

Yeah, when they start getting a little bigger than say 6' 180lbs there's no way our d-lineman can get them off their feet. They're just too damn big.
