Seems like the knocks on his leadership and comfort with the speed of game, appear greater when observed from a lazyboy than when lining up with him on the field.

Chad Henne experienced another first this past Sunday. No, it wasn't the 55 passes he threw, although that was his career high. It was the first time he had given a halftime speech to his Dolphins teammates.
He was trying to rally them from a 27-3 deficit against the Houston Texans, who held on to win 27-20.
"He communicated what the guys were feeling, which was good to hear," rookie wide receiver Brian Hartline said. "It was like, 'They scored 27 in a half, (so) there's no reason we can't score 28. That's why you play 60 minutes.'

"That's what we all felt. It was good to see that our quarterback was leading the way."
A dozen starts into his career, Henne, 24, appears to have made the jump from prolific college quarterback to promising professional.

"His biggest growth has come with his complete understanding of the offense at game speed," wide receiver Greg Camarillo said. "You can only get that through game reps.

"That's going through your reads, looking for different receivers, making audibles. He makes the right calls in so many different situations now, and he makes them quickly. He'll take the progression to the fourth guy and finds him open. For most young quarterbacks, the tendency is to focus in on the first two."

Slot receiver Davone Bess said Henne's demeanor in the huddle has changed tremendously.
"When he stepped up at halftime last week, that showed leadership and accountability," Bess said. "He talked to the whole offense and said, 'We can do this.' He's definitely embraced the role."

Henne has demonstrated the arm strength to throw the deep sideline route as well as the bomb. One skill he needs to improve is throwing the touch pass 5-10 yards downfield. Several of those have bounced off receivers' hands for incompletions or even interceptions.
"It's like the second serve in tennis," offensive coordinator Dan Henning said. "You can hit that first serve hard, but the second one, you want to make sure it gets in."


Camarillo and Hartline said the players are happy with Henne's arm and his leadership.
"A lot of guys can holler all they want in the locker room but don't follow it up on the field," Camarillo said. "He puts it out there on the field and guys know they can trust him. They know there's action behind the statements."

Good to hear. I like Henne I feel he is gonna be really good in time. Given some weapons he could be a probowler.
 
So many of the younger set think "leadership" involves yelling alot and dancing around like an idiot.

Leadership is about providing purpose, direction and, motivation. In the Infantry, the ethos is simply this;

"Follow me."

I don't need people screaming at me to motivate me. I need a cool, competant serial killer type of attitude that I have to match or get left in the dirt.

Henne seems like that sort of cat.
 
Awesome article. We have a warrior at QB. And from the sounds of it, this team is willing to follow him into battle.

I really like this quote by Henning. I know exactly what he is talking about. A lot of times when you try to take something off of a serve or throw you end up messing it up because it doesn't feel as natural.
 
So far so good, I really like what I'm seeing out of chad. He just needs to keep it up not just the leadership but other things as well hopefully he won't get complacent.
 
I am thankful we drafted Chad Henne and I am also thankful that he has almost a full year of playing time. Let's get him a receiver and let him tear it up!
 
we need to either get a good WR or go draft some guy who's kind of undervalued at the draft and get to us, but suddenly explodes in the NFL! I'm a Henne believer!

See: Porter, Joey.

Hopefully, he'll be gone after this seasson. Anyways, I like Henne's leadership. I'm happy that he continues to assert himself as the leader of this offense, and I truly believe as the years go on, and as the weapons continue to come in, he'll only get better.
 
The one thing I love about Henne that really hit it home for me was when he got facemasked on a pass, the pass fell incomplete but Henne didn't say anything to the refs. He didn't even flinch, he walked back into the huddle and moved on to the next play. No complaining to the refs, no looking around, just business; like a Boss.

Am i the only one that finds its very ironic that Porter and Taylor appear to yell more than any other players, yet very rarely do much of anything on the field? I have always been under the impression that the best leaders are like Ronnie Brown. Those that are beloved by his teamates and let their play do the talking. Being a Michigan fan I've watched Henne for a long time. Michigan fans used to comment on his "lack of leadership" because they saw lack of emotion on the field. Let me tell I'd much rather have someone calm and collected in pressure moments than too wrapped up in the circumstances.

some of our Defenses just sucked due to scheme or personsel. Taylor and Thomas led Ds failed us in every big pressure situation, and presided over the worst defeat (arguably) in Dolphin history.

Taylor may be a great Dolphin, but he's no leader.
