Cowboys fans just had a win/win

[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.

 

[iceberg]

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

didn't know we had psychic posters in here.

 

[J-DOG]

What were Henson's stats today? Damnit, I missed the game...again.

Ditto.

 

[jackrussell]

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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]

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

yeah same here

 

[bewareofdware]

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

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

 

[CrazyCowboy]

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]

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

 

[TwoSteppinJJ]

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.
