Rhein Fire @ Cologne Centurions

[CowboyManDan]

Good play/catch by Starling for 49 yards. That play was made by Starling.

dubt they'll pass anymore now that they are up by 10

You throw rainbows like that in the NFL and they WILL get picked.

That WR Newhouse on Cologne, is Robert's son out of Baylor I believe.

 

[burmafrd]

Not a great game by Henson= but not too bad either. That pick was not good= and that fumble was a bad memory of Hutch. Made some good short and medium passes- some good outs and slants. His two long passes were of the type YOU DO NOT throw in the NFL.

 

[iceberg]

Chad'd!? That's great!

Yea, he's got to protect the ball in situations like that.

why? bledsoe doesn't.

any qb who plays enough will have an int. will have a fumble. but when the player is being micro-watched, every "normal" play fans tend to make it "make or break".

 

[DallasCowpoke111]

Welllllllll, game over. I wonder if now........

Just Win Baby Henson is just a WINNER

no matter how much people criticize , he just wins.

Parcells loves to win ugly anyway

 

[iceberg]

well he didn't throw for 8 td's, run for 3, help 7 old ladies across the 60 yard line and he couldn't tell you what happened to jimmy hoffa -

so basically the pro-drew crowd will look around for a few positives and the anti-drew crowd will work in overdrive to belittle each and every one.

another week of the offseason goes by.

 

[ctalker]

He's 3-0, good enough for me

 

[cannonball44]

what the Pro Drew crowd will say is that he is undefeated...

Dude, I just thought his Chad comment was humorous.
Relax, few want Henson to succeed as much as me. I'm not a fan of stopgap QBs and want a young guy with a long future starting asap. I'm happy with Henson's overall performance thus far. And today I thought he played well...my favorite play being a 38yd strike in which he hit Smith in stride. And for the most part, he's also managing the game decently.

I'm guessing that posting the same thing 4 or 5 times means your not a Henson fan?

 

[Boom]

What's with the 3rd and short plays and the bomb passes? I watched the game sporadically, but those play calls killed atleast 2 drives that I know of.

 

[Jarv]

What were his final numbers ?

Yard work today in the Northeast...

14-28 165 yds 1 TD 1 Int 1 Fumble
That just win thing is dumb. THIS IS NFL EUROPE. If you cannot burn it up there you have no chance in the NFL. I watched that game- I TIVO'd it as well. He did OK- not great. He threw 2 rainbows that were NOT good. Threw his INT when he was in the red zone and tried to force it. DId very well on the short stuff- needs to learn a little more touch but his slants were very good - everyone was low so that only the receiver had a shot at it. He played almost the entire game because Chang was injured in the 2nd qtr.
It was suprising to me that he seemed to have most of his trouble on the long passes. The medium and short stuff he did good on. Showed very good mobility and pocket presence.

this "analyze drew death and make NFL comparisons to a league that shares name but not process" is dumb.

to hold drew accountable to NOT make mistakes we see bledsoe make every game is dumb.

but it will continue.

Thta's fine w/ me, 'cause I think the long stuff is more dependent on the WR's abilities, ie.pure speed and/or him jockeying for position. If the QB can complete the intermediate stuff, than he can play in the league.

To me the bottom line is that Henson looks pretty decent- but not great.
He has 7 more games- probably 8 since that team will probably make it to the championship game. By the end of this season we should have a good handle on how much progress he has made. To me this is what he should have been doing last year- game experience is what he needs badly.
