When I first saw this headline, I thought, another Armando article from left field. But After reading the comments from Henning I have to agree with him. Will Henning finally open it up?(which I think he will). Or are we going to be alot more conservative with a heavy reliance on R&R? I think the latter is entirely possible. God I hope we start looking downfield more. I would hope that we would see Hartline more just to give us some size at WR. Anything would be better than seeing Mr. Ted"shy away from contact "Ginn. If any one is within 2yds. of him when the ball is thrown his way, he will not make the grab because too afraid of getting hit. The guy is the made of glass instead of nails when it comes to toughness. Thanks Cam, or should I say Sham.
And Henning said this: "We think Chad Henne can play just as well as [Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco] can. I'll tell you that right now. I think when he gets his opportunity he will play well. Every time we've given him an opportunity, he has played well. We also like Chad Pennington. So I think the quarterback situation here as it stands right now is better than it was Feb. 1st. I'll tell you that right now."
What help is Henne likely to get?
Well, Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are playing very well, as both are running downhill with confidence and desire and aggression. But that is where it stops for Miami's offense now.
Tight end Athony Fasano, a revelation in 2008, is MIA in 2009. He has three catches this season and that is good only because his catches outnumber his two lost fumbles after two of those catches.
Alleged No. 1 receiver Ted Ginn Jr. has been inconsistent, often ineffective, rarely dominant and never elite since being drafted No. 9 overall in 2007. He is coming off two games in which he dropped two touchdown potential touchdown passes versus Indianapolis, including the possible game-winner. And then he responded to that adversity by catching zero passes despite being targetted six times versus San Diego.
But I would tell you that rare is the effective WR-QB combination where only one or the other player is playing to par. If you guys are hoping Ginn will suddenly start to light it up simply because Henne is in there, you are mistaken. Ginn has to get much, much, much better to begin being a viable consistent threat for Henne.
So how, exactly, can we expect Henne to be as good as Flacco and Ryan if the players around him aren't in the same conversation with the players around Flacco and Ryan?

what's he suspose to say we are getting ready to start our QB we drafted and he is really going to SUCK. GET REAL
 
Nobody cares what you think about Henne. Go worship John Beck somewhere else. Keep your negative comments about Henne to yourself. Just stop typing.
 
If Henne can make use of a play action, he'll be fine this week. I don't see Buffalo doing much to stop our running attack. The key for him sunday will be to use the PA to attack Buffalos pass D. He needs to be able to attack 10-15 yards over the middle of the field. Fasano and bess will be key targets.

If the Dolphins can't beat the Bills with all their injuries...it's time to shut off the lights. The Bills O-line and secondary are hurting big time.
 
I think Henne will do just fine once he gets out there and gets a few games under his belt...as for Fasano, he will bounce back. Ginn? He's a #2 WR at best...we still are lacking that #1 go-to guy
