Rhein Fire @ Cologne Centurions

By problems with the long ball I mean HIS PROBLEMs. His two long passes were RAINBOWS- they hung up there like a good punt. NOT the thing you can do in the NFL.

Thanks.

Lol...I know I am doing yard work, didn't notice Theebs (who is doing the video) mention it. Wish I were riding instead cleaning the yard.

Damn snow plow folks plowed my gravel driveway into the yard last winter plowing.....Grrr...

By the way, what time is the reply on ?

 

[Funxva]

Heya. Is there a replay of the game?

 

[TheHustler]

I sincerely hope there is another video recap of his passes.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Another very average game for a very average player.

Well, not exactly true...even the biggest of detractors would have to say that Henson is anything but "average" in his skills.

Now, his numbers might have been pedestrian today but he flashed the stuff that has some of us upbeat about him...

I've been noticing that he throws better when moving than when he sits in the pocket...I think he is still too deliberate in the pocket...

Remember, none of us knows that the Cowboys staff is looking at...or looking to see from him. In their eyes, today might have been a great game... a lousy game...or an average game. We simply don't know.

Fact of the matter is, it's still to early to judge.

 

[Juke99]

What were his final numbers ?

Yard work today in the Northeast...

Yard work????

Hey...I'm up in Guilford CT today..

Yardwork my behind.

I acknowledge that he does have some great raw skills (though he is certainly no Aikman, Staubach, or anything close to them). His mind is not in the game, though. He has never looked comfortable out on the football field.

 

[DBoys]

The two things that impresses me with the fire is

1) Defense is really good specially their DB's
2) OL is dominant

3 games they have played in bad conditions as a matter of fact the field has been rain soaked. Henson is making progress and I am optimistic that by the end of the season he will be in good shape. If he gets in a groove he will be our #2 Romo is nothing more than a backup.

I don't know of many Aikmans or Staubachs...

He seems way too programmed...when he's on the run, he looks very good...but in the pocket, he is like a robot...I don't know if he's concentrating too much on his mechanics...or has too much time to think...

Link???

Another very average game for a very average player.

How much of that "very average game" did you actually see?

 

[The30YardSlant]

How much of that "very average game" did you actually see?

14-28 165 yds 1 TD 1 Int 1 Fumble

Those numbers are average at best for an NFL Europe game. In the NFL, that's camp fodder numbers.

So...none.

Good to know.

 

[The30YardSlant]

I've seen him suck it up through 2 preseasons and a regular season start. I don't need to watch him put up average numbers against scrub defensive players in Germany.

The sooner we can admit what a waste of a draft pick he was and move on, the sooner we can think about getting a real young QB in here.

 

[Jarv]

Yard work????

Hey...I'm up in Guilford CT today..

Yardwork my behind.

Crossed the sound today ? How are you with a rake ?

Sometimes I wish I lived in a condo.

So you saw absolutely none of the game, but you feel confident enough in your psychic abilities to dub it "average", based on the stat sheet? Tell me....on your almighty stat sheet did it talk about critical drops by receivers, when Henson hit them right in the numbers? Did it mention the unbelievably athletic plays Henson made with his feet, buying time to make a perfect throw downfield across his body, directly into the receivers chest? I guess it didn't.

But none of those things matter, anyway. Because, instead of rooting for a Dallas Cowboys player, and letting things play out in their own time, you;ve taken your stance on one side of the issue, and nothing Henson does is ever going to change your mind. So I have to wonder, why bother even posting your nonsense on Henson? We've all been bored to tears with your inane, agenda driven bashing of Henson, so why continue? Is it so, if that sad day comes and we have to give Henson up for failure, you chest thump in a distinctly "Norsian" manner? Because you're obviously not in these threads looking for intelligent feedback, or even being remotely interested in how Henson did today.

It's old and tired. Have fun in your hate filled agenda-corner. The rest of us are enjoying a young man's prgress. And WE'VE actually seen him playing.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Based on the fact that he has done nothing but digress in two years, yes. I'd go as far to say that it was below average.

Tell me....on your almighty stat sheet did it talk about critical drops by receivers, when Henson hit them right in the numbers?

So he hit his WR right in the numbers and it was dropped 14 times? Hmmm...

Did it mention the unbelievably athletic plays Henson made with his feet, buying time to make a perfect throw downfield across his body, directly into the receivers chest? I guess it didn't.

Please stop, you're killing me. Vince Young makes "unbelievably athletic plays with his feet", Drew Henson does not. Drew Henson occasionally runs around like a chicken with his proverbial head cut off, then curls up in the fetal position.

But none of those things matter, anyway.

You're right, they don't. Its the NFL Europe. I could go over there and shut down any WR on that field, and I was nothing more than a 1 year attempted college walk on.

Because, instead of rooting for a Dallas Cowboys player, and letting things play out in their own time, you;ve taken your stance on one side of the issue, and nothing Henson does is ever going to change your mind.

When Henson goes out there and lights up these scrubs like any good NFL QB should do, give me a call. Until then, he has done nothing worthy of notice.

So I have to wonder, why bother even posting your nonsense on Henson? We've all been bored to tears with your inane, agenda driven bashing of Henson, so why continue?

1: I'm not making you read anything, if you dont like it, dont read it.

2: If wanting to win is an agenda, I'm guilty as charged. Henson CANNOT help the Dallas Cowboys win.

Is it so, if that sad day comes and we have to give Henson up for failure, you chest thump in a distinctly "Norsian" manner?

I wont "thump" anything, I'll be happy, just like you all will be, when you realize what a collassal failure he is.

Because you're obviously not in these threads looking for intelligent feedback, or even being remotely interested in how Henson did today.

Again, NFL Europe. Give me a call when he throws more than 1 TD, or Heaven forbid more than 200 yards even once.

It's old and tired. Have fun in your hate filled agenda-corner. The rest of us are enjoying a young man's prgress. And WE'VE actually seen him playing.

If that's what you call "progress" then you've obviously never played football in your life. I would be disgusted if I was a QB and had done so little in over 2 years.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Ok, I was wrong, Drew Henson HAS made some progress over the last 2 years. He has mastered the art of shoe tying.

Keep up the good work tiger
