Cowboys fans just had a win/win

[CrazyCowboy]

Drew Henson looked great today!
He has sorry WR's and still performed.
His team is knocked out of the World Bowl:starspin
So what is my point you ask?

This is a win/win for us fans today.....

Drew looked great and he can attend veterans training camp! Right?

[Hostile]

I wish he'd get to play for the World Bowl but yeah, getting back to Dallas sooner might be important.

[RCowboyFan]

My guess is he wont be at Veteran Mini-Camp, as probably he will be off two weeks right now, before getting back to VR. But it would be nice if he is back there.

My guess is Coaches will ask him to take it off.

[Mansta54]

I thought he looked good too. I've liked his play all year, especially with the poor WR's and TE's he has. He has matured alot...

[CrazyCowboy]

I wish he'd get to play for the World Bowl but yeah, getting back to Dallas sooner might be important.

I agree it would have been nice to have seen Drew play, however, he left NFLE on a high note and he attends veterans mini camp.


Get's timing down with T.O.
Chance to impress BP with his new confindence
He shows his teamates his improvement
Has a fair shot at #2 with Romo
I am glad it happen just like it happened......a win/win for us fans! :starspin

[CrazyCowboy]

My guess is he wont be at Veteran Mini-Camp, as probably he will be off two weeks right now, before getting back to VR. But it would be nice if he is back there.

I would be disappointed in Drew if he does not demand to attend veterans mini-camp and participate in it.......he would fall behind IMO and waste an excellent opportunity to succeed :starspin

Im sorry did you want me to sugarcoat a cupcake for you?

[sago1]

Henson probably gets back to Dallas either Sunday/Monday. With vet minicamp about 10 days off once he gets in town, he'll probaby relax for 1-2 days after he checks in at VR. If he's healthy, surprised if he doesn't participate--it's only for 3 days and don't even know yet if they will be wearing pads.

[TwoSteppinJJ]

Guess I interrupted the henson love fest. Go ahead guys Continue on...

[RCowboyFan]

Haste makes waste....patience grasshopper!

You are full of quotes eh? :D But I agree, he is not going to fall behind just because he missed a Vet Mini-Camp. I think there will also be a QBs camp sometime soon after that too? Either way, it more important that he is rested and ready than attend Mini-camp, but he might be able to do that, before that Camp.

So we shall see if he can attend the camp.

More like full of (fill in the blank) :eek:

[burmafrd]

Its better for him to be at the camp- he would still be in game mode and not having to ratchet it up. He might look very good there. Any chance to impress BP is not one you should miss.

Who/What is Domo-kun?
Domo-kun is a small brown open-mouthed monster hatched from an egg who lives with a wise old rabbit underground. He really, really likes TV and also enjoys rocking out to Guitar Wolf (http://cardhouse.com/travel/japan/domokun.htm#wolf). Domo-kun is the mascot of NHK's BS2 (a satellite channel; he also appears on BS1). NHK has been producing a series of Domo-kun stop-motion vignettes that exude personal charm and warmth. There is also a wide variety of Domo-kun-related merchandise available, some of which is difficult/impossible to find in the US.
"Domo" in this case appears to mean more of something (usually to stress "thank you," "excuse me," etc), implying increased politeness. "kun" is used as "Mr." or "Ms." for "younger people or colleagues". He acquired his name in the second episode, when Usajii turns on the TV for him and an announcer says "Domo konnichiwa" ("very much hello").
I've received email from a member of the US Air Force who is stationed in Japan and this person indicates that "Domo" is used "everywhere" in Japan as "thanks." I've also read someone's opinion that "Domo" in this case means "ferocious," but the Random House Japanese/English dictionary doesn't support this at all (the "domo" meaning "ferocious" has two long "o"s, the "domo" in Domokun only has one).
According to NHK, Domo-kun is recognized by 90% of Japanese schoolchildren.
The egg probably originates from the egg-shaped rings of the NHK logo (made eggy in 1995).


The following are the character descriptions as they appear at Domomode (http://www.domomode.com/).DOMO is a strange creature born from an egg. One day he fell into Usajii's house, the old rabbit likes TV. After that he began to love watching TV. He is gentle and strong. When he is in a bad mood, he breaks wind.
Favorite food: Seasoned beef with potatoes
Disliked food: Apple (There seems a deep mystery in his DNA)
Favorite talent: MAX (http://cardhouse.com/travel/japan/domokun.htm#max) and The guitar wolf (http://cardhouse.com/travel/japan/domokun.htm#wolf)


I am guessing that "bad mood" is really something like "distressed/nervous," as evidenced by the episode in which he accidentally meets up with Ta-chan, sweats a little, and lets fly.Usajii has been living in a cave for 70 years. He loves TV and astringent tea. When he was young, he often traveled with his sweet heart, but now he is completely retired. Favorite food: Kinds of carrot
Disliked food: A trivial thing
Favorite talent: Hijiri Kojima (http://cardhouse.com/travel/japan/domokun.htm#hijiri)


"Usagi" (rabbit) + "Oyaji" (older man) ~= Usajii!Shinobu is a strong-minded mother. Morio is a mischievous child. They are hanger-on of Usajii's cave. Favorite food: The thing of a season (Shinibu)
Spaghetti Neapolitan (Morio)
Disliked food: Alcohol (Shinibu - She drinks alcohol in large amounts in fact.)
Mushroom (Morio)
Favorite talent: Brad Pitt (Shinibu)
Matsui (Morio)


"Shinobu" means "endure."Ta-chan is a weasel girl. She is seventeen years old. She moved near Usajii's cave this spring. She dreams to be a stylist or model in Tokyo. She always tries to get information from a mobile phone, TV, or magazine. She is overly friendly, but is lonley somehow. She always adds "chi" to the end of a conversation, but she doesn't know it. She doesn't like the country-side.

They go great with baked potatoes too.

[NMfan]

Doesn't Henson have to be medically cleared after an injury in NFLE in Florida or something before he can join the Cowboys? In his blog he mentioned something about rehab.

[fortdick]

Sheesh ya'll need to go out and play some pitch and catch. Ease a little tension.

I am sure you didn't mean that in a brokeback way!

[TwoSteppinJJ]

Don't you know what a Domokun is? There very tasty if cooked right and you like "to take long walks on the beach"! :lmao:

Whats wrong with long walks on the beach!?!? lol

[CactusCowboy]

He looked average against inferior players.......You guys just do not see the light, Drew is not our answer......

[Cochese]

He looked average against inferior players.......You guys just do not see the light, Drew is not our answer......

But, but, but, he was the only QB in the history of the NFLE to have to deal with inferior talent.:laugh2:

[Bob Sacamano]

Get's timing down with T.O.

I think HEnson is going to be throwing to Crayton, Copper, Skyler and the UFA WRs more than he is TO, but I agree with everything else

[maxsports]

He looked average against inferior players.......You guys just do not see the light, Drew is not our answer......


That is your opinion. Not everyone has to agree with you.I do not agree at all. I thought before the injury, he looked superior. I am on the fence about Henson, but what I do know is if by luck he is the answer, I am willing to give it a chance.

[Silverstar]

Henson will NEVER start as long as Bledsoe remains healthy in Dallas. To me, he simply went to Europe to get some game reps as a starting QB. I think Henson did a great job over there and now comes back with experience Romo doesn't have.

[JackMagist]

I think Henson did a great job over there and now comes back with experience Romo doesn't have.True that Romo doesn't have the NFLE experience but he does have a LOT more college experience than Henson did. I think it will be an interesting competition for the #2 job this year...this is nothing new though I said this all during the season last year.

Henson was struggling with the overhaul to his mechanics last year; he was thinking too much about that and not letting the game flow. Now he has a year of running the scout team and getting work in there plus his NFLE experience to get over that problem. Now he will just go out and play football as Romo was doing in TC last year. It will be a most interesting competition.

BTW if a Domokun has to die for us to get news about a player on the team then So Be It…They Die.

[ATurkishSeaOtter]

I think it was nice to see henson get some time playing as a starter if he had inferior talent or not. He hasn't started anywhere besides college and the thanksgiving game so only good things can come from his trip to europe. Thats means also being cut if he was horrible which I don't think he was.

[Silverstar]

True that Romo doesn't have the NFLE experience but he does have a LOT more college experience than Henson did.

Yeah, he had a lot of D2 experience from three years ago.

How many D2 QB's are actually starting in the NFL BTW?


Ummm....zero?

[Juke99]

He looked average against inferior players.......You guys just do not see the light, Drew is not our answer......


I don't agree.

If anything, he looked inconsistent but he did things that NO other QB on our roster could do..made some throws that were spectacular...threw on the run with great proficiency...

Fact is, he has physical skills that are superb.

He also looked "average" depending of inferior players. You seem to ingore that. His receivers stunk. His O Line was even worse.

He protected the ball. He showed good poise in the pocket and great mobility. He made some throws that showcased his talent.

Henson is right in the thick of things come training camp.

[Sifillest]

hopefully he will attend the vet camp....he needs all the reps he can get with our receivers so he can shine some more during preseason....

[iceberg]

Im sorry did you want me to sugarcoat a cupcake for you?

no, but you can quit whizzin in everyone's post toasties for your own enjoyment.

Romo didn't play Division 2 football.

Tony Romo- Eastern Illinois- Ohio Valley Conference- NCAA Division 1-AA

Perhaps your point would be how many Division 1-AA QBs are actually starting in the NFL.

Kurt Warner- Northern Iowa- Gateway Football Conference- NCAA Division 1-AA

[Silverstar]

Ahhh, I was waiting for this...

Yep, but Warner also played in the NFLE, before he started tearing up the league in 1999. Tony (D1AA) Romo doesn't have that NFLE experience and that's my point.

[big dog cowboy]

I would be disappointed in Drew if he does not demand to attend veterans mini-camp and participate in it.......he would fall behind IMO and waste an excellent opportunity to succeed :starspin
Fall behind what? He needs playing time. Mini camps, practices and training camp won't improve him more than playing time. See NFLE for a great example.

[lspain1]

Without speaking for Crazy, I think he is expecting Drew to compete for the backup spot this year. In that case, Henson should hustle back from Europe and be ready for the veteran minicamp to compete for the backup job. To not do that might waste the positive press he has gotten while in Europe.

If Henson feels that he gained an edge in playing speed in Europe perhaps it would not be a bad idea for him to rush back. As long as he is healthy, it would perhaps be better to vacation after the minicamps are over.

At some point Henson must compete and win against Romo. I think he should be planning to do that this year to become the heir apparent for Bledsoe. Heir apparent this year. Serious competition for the starting role next year. He still has time but the clock is beginning to tick...for Bledsoe and for Henson.

Henson can compete for the #2 spot. I don't think the heir apparent to Bledsoe is out of college yet. Too bad Leinert didn't fall a few more spots, he could have been the future replacement after 2008 or so.

I agree with you exactly......thanks for explaining it for me....been out doing family stuff all day.

Drew Henson WILL attend mini-camp IMO, because he really wants to be a Cowboy and he knows BP will expect him to show and display his leadership responsibilities to his teamates.

[RCowboyFan]

I dont think he is in a position to display any leadership yet. I don't know if he will attend or not, since he might have been already told not to attend the minicamp, due to his time at NFL E. Of course I am just speculating he might have been told so.

If Not, I am sure he would attend the minicamp too. I doubt he wants to take time off without attending the camp. Since obviously he is trying to get a job himself.

I guess we shall see, if he is attending or is allowed to attend the camp.

Winning or losing the backup job won't be determined by what ever press he did or didn't get playing in Europe. Same with playing or not playing in the vet camp coming up. BP will determine the backup QB after training camp and preseason is over in early Sept. not in late May.

[bewareofdware]

who says he'll be runnin with the no.1 offense enough to get his timing down with TO

[CrazyCowboy]

who says he'll be runnin with the no.1 offense enough to get his timing down with TO

I would assume mini-camp Henson would get some reps with T.O.....granted I have never attended a mini-camp before, but even in training camp Henson had reps with the 1st unit personnel occasionally. Granted not very much....but the question remains......

Is Henson in a position to miss any reps/opportunities to impress BP and the coaching staff?

This wanna-be coach says absolutely NOT! He better show up to mini camp IMO or it will not be in Henson's best interest. :starspin

[TwoSteppinJJ]

He should get a few reps but hopefully not many.

[Hostile]

He should get a few reps but hopefully not many.Why in the world would you say this? The more reps any player gets the better.

[TwoSteppinJJ]

Why in the world would you say this? The more reps any player gets the better.

Because he would be taking away from Bledsoes reps and I want Bledsoe to feel 100% comfortable with Owens, Green, Fasano, Oline and the others.

[Hostile]

Because he would be taking away from Bledsoes reps and I want Bledsoe to feel 100% comfortable with Owens, Green, Fasano, Oline and the others.There is such a thing as reps with the 2nd team. Put them all to work. Every one of them.

[Silverstar]

Well, if that's your point, you failed to convey it by stating false facts of Division 2 QBs.


What false facts?

I asked two questions about them, because I wasn't sure in the first place. Notice, how I put question marks (?) at the end.
