Our front office has stated several times they would bring someone to push Chad Henne.
Then when John Elway asked too much for Kyle Orlon, who has been a not-so-great starter, Jeff Ireland opted for another failed starter of 2010, former Carolina Panthers' QB: Matt Moore.
With him, our depth chart at QB was: Chad Henne #7, Matt Moore # 8, Pat Devlin # 9 & Tom Brandstater #3. That set of players looked as one of the weakest in the league, and unexpected help came from Dolphins 12th player.
No, even when some beat-writers have talked about a desperate situation in Miami, Dolphins never required Bob Griese, their most successful QB to wear at his well-lived 66 years his legendary number 12. NO WAY!
Under some sports like soccer number 12 is a common reference to the home crowd.
Everyone of this fanbase got furious of the weak outlook of the most important position in the roster and manifested their frustration by booing on Henne during training camps. This went weird to the point that some pseudo-fans chanted "We want Orton". Such reaction made Sparano sick, but perhaps this is serving in a good way, as #12 is pushing Chad Henne to upgrade his game.
It's still too early but since then, Chad Henne has been playing better and better.
During Sunday's practice this evolution was notorious with 3 TD/1 INT against one of the top defenses of the league. That placed happy faces even on the biggest critics of this offensive unit.
Those beat-writers that guided the mob with torches to Chad Henne are expressing a good feeling on him, mentioning a signal of flourishing leadership, as Henne stated about the connection with Brandon Marshall showed today: "During previous practices, we weren’t on the same page. We talked before practice, and we got it done today."
So yeah, it was just a practice, it was a limited defense that hasn't allowed to destroy the QB, but this offensive unit has been suffering for years with few TD, and lots of SACKS & INT, practicing against this great defense under similar situations.
So I hope our 12th player continues pushing Chad Henne, asking him to be a better quarterback every single day.
