WHY doesn't BP like Henson?

[Wolverine]

If Romo has such a better command of the offense, why has he only led one scoring drive to Henson's three (and one missed FG) despite receiving approximately the same amount of playing time?


Henson had a few key drops and even his interception wasn't terrible. It may have been a misread or simply a great play by the DB who dropped of the short receiver to the intermediate Witten.

Romo tossed a lollipop up that the DB badly misplayed on Crayton's big catch and then made one of the worst throws that I've ever seen a QB make when the DB dropped the duck ball late.



Points generated after two games - Bledsoe 13 Henson 9 Romo 3.

The one thing that sticks out to me is that against the Cards Henson did a better job of moving the 3rd team then what Romo did last night. If it weren't for Craytons great catch on that 43 yard pass. There is a good chance that coulda been INTd.

Romo does look smoother and more comfortable. But I don't see where he is all that much better then Henson. Had it not been for Morgan dropping that Henson pass Henson might have got us in the endzone.

I still think that of all the good throws made by both Henson and Romo that Henson good throws were better then any of Romos.

Oh one other thing. This stuff about having Henson down the ball at the half. None of us really know why BP had that done. I just don't see him doing that because he does not like Henson.


My guess for why he did it was maybe he saw that Henson was struggling out there and he didn't want to pressure him to making a quick drive or a big throw and have it lead to a INT.

Maybe BP wanted Henson going in at half time not having to worry about a big turnover and ruinning him for the rest of the game. I think this is more real then any BS that idiot Norm is saying.


Barber is right outta college. Henson is needs alot more work then Barber. I think BP is playing it safe with Henson so he doesnt ruin him or set him so far back he will never make it.

Hhhmmmm, time to trade for P. Rivers....lol:laugh2:

It was automatic that because Drew was asked to take a knee with some seconds left on the clock before the half ended last night, the 'Bill doesn't like him' nonsense would start up again.

Of course, Sean was calling the plays, not Bill, but so what?

 

[Billy Bullocks]

Henson will get his shot here after BP calls it quits at the end of this season. We dont make the playoffs this year with Bledsoe and Jerry wont wait for his resignation, he'll fire his ***.

i've read your posts. you are a hater

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I agree, one thing that is puzzling to me is. That even after the incredible upgrades in talent to almost every position BP has engineered these last couple of years.

There are "learned fans" who still think they know what a football player looks like more so than Bill Parcells. The strawman about BP not playing rookies is just BS, if Parcells has a football player who can help the team win games he'll play him. But Parcells won't sacrifice the other 52 players chances for the experience of 1 player.

Bill Parcells sees Drew Henson exactly like he has said repeatedly for the last 2 years. Drew Henson is a player with potential who is a long way from being NFL ready.

very good post. Why is this obvious point so hard to understand by so many fans?

I think not being very good "irks the coach"....but not everyone shares my opinion.

If you were a sprinter and the coach gave you combat boots to sprint in and then complained that you 'weren't very good' would that be valid? I'm of the opinion that messing with his throwing motion has seriously set the kid back. He's been throwing that way his whole life and succeeded as a QB by doing so. In camp last year he looked much better than this year. I mean it isn't too hard to see why.

 

[Rogerthat12]

I mean, Henson says all the right things, he played thru pain in TC and didn't use it as an excuse for his marginal passes, he didn't ***** about them altering his natural throwing motion, he seems like a team player...what, then? He isn't a pothead, he isn't whining about his role. What does a QB have to do to NOT irk the coach?

Its because Henson smells like a fart in a jar...LOL ...

Changing his throwing motion probably DID set him back. However, I think it is a step back in the right direction; his mechanics were horrid last year. His throwing step was too long his release point was lower than Romo's even though he is 2 to 3 inches taller; there was the side arm delivery as well which made his release slow. I think Parcells, Payton and Lee did exactly the right thing in correcting those glaring weaknesses.

Now they (and we) have to be patient with him and let him work the kinks out. This is Romo's 3rd year and he claims that something just clicked for him in Mini-Camp this year; surely we can give Henson as long as we did Romo for that light to come on. All this talk of cutting Henson is just ridiculous. You buy a project kit and just throw it away because you are too impatient to put it together; that's fine for a $10.00 macramé kit but not a multimillion dollar investment.

Great post. I said before I expected him to struggle with the change in motion. In the long run it will pay off. I saw Parcells smiling and complimenting this kid in AZ. So he doesn't coddle him. It was pretty obvious to me he likes him and is trying to teach him.

By the way, is that Rapheal Palmero's dog in your avatar?

 

[Banned_n_austin]

Actually, I was looking for BP to snatch MBIII off the field by one of his cornrows :laugh2: Bill has the perogative to mold and motivate players by his own choosing. I don't know what his motivation was with making Henson take the knee. I trust Bill. I have seen enough of Henson ... maybe Bill had to. It's time to get ready for the real deal. I want Romo and DrewB to get their work in and their rhythm down with the receivers. I ain't got time to be playing with Henson :stop: :enough:

I hear that, girl.

Loud. And. Clear.

Copy.

 

[31smackdown]

My random guess is that Henson sometimes decides where he is gong to throw the ball before the snap, instead of going through his progression. This leads to forced throws and missed easier conversions. His athletic ability and arm let him get awy with it at times, but he ends up limiting himself by predetermining off his first read.

Who says Bill doesn't like Henson?

Yeah..who?

It's not that BP does not like Henson, but everyone seems to just wants to give Henson the reigns. BP is simply trying to put Henson in a position where if he wants it he will have to go take it. And it seems like Henson is just content to sit back and wait for it to be handed to him. If Henson does not fight for the role of "Dallas Cowboys' QB" then barring injury he will never have it. Even people that have blind faith in Henson can you honesty say that he is truly battling, competing and/or fighting for the position?

Interesting.

Tell me, what leads you to believe that Henson is not "fighting" for the job? Why would you say that Henson is content to sit back and have the job handed to him?

 

[burmafrd]

My 2 cents is that the mistake was in NOT using last year to change his motion.
THEN they could have sent him to NFL europe to get the rust removed. With all the years he spent NOT playing, even the scrub games in NFLE would have given him some experience that he BADLY needs. The kid only played in NINE college games-years ago- it is crazy to expect him to be able to start in the NFL NOW.

 

[phdefense]

I do not see any emotion from him at all. Why isn't he out there tearing some arse up when they screw up. Or point to himself when it is on him. He just doesn't seem to care. That just tells me that he is not a competitor.

I did not see Romo grab Tucker by the facemask and tear him a new one during 3rd and 50, so I guess he is not competing either.
