Interesting quote by Marshall after the game

He was micro managed because he was a turnover machine and then lost his confidence....IMO the game is slowing down for him so he can just play and not think about the other things.....time will tell, when Henne has that terrible game, 2-3 picks and cost the team a win, how he comes back from that is what I want to see, then I will be able to say he is capable of leading us to a SB....The tools are there, its what's bwt his ears that concerns me....

I will not make excuses for his piss poor play last yr and I give him all the credit for his offseason work to get to where he is now...

I agree 100%. Last year it seemed like Henne got the play, went to the line of scrimmage and ran the play no matter what the D showed. Looks like he is out there now directing players and making adjustments according to the D's looks.

That's because he wasn't allowed to audible in Henning's system. The only option he had -- and only on some plays -- was to kill the play to a pass when it was a run or vice versa. A quarterback not being allowed to audible isn't unheard of -- Mike Martz does it -- but I still think it's a foolish and arrogant waste of valuable downs.

One hangover from the way Henne was coached by Lee and Henning -- or maybe it's just part of him, it's hard to say at this point -- is this thing where as soon as he's touched, he pulls the ball down and starts running. I can't stand it when he does that and they've got to coach him better on that. If he had just stepped up and maintained his poise on that play on the five yard line or so he had Hartline wide open in the end zone.

But this was a night that sort of changed the conversation in Miami -- at least for a week. I predict a whole lot of, "oh, well... I was really hard on the guy but I always knew he could do this and I support him all the way now" kinds of threads and posts. Major league backtracking is going to be going on.

Not that a preseason game is proof of anything, of course. But that's what happens when you jump the gun on your evaluation. You tend to jump the gun when anything happens.

Anyhow, not to beat a dead horse but the right side of the line is so bad you only need to rush four people to get a jailbreak kind of rush on us and we're fools if we think Belicheck doesn't know that. I hope the reporters are brushing up their most accusing questions for exactly what Sparano was looking at when he "looked at the film" on Columbo's play last year. I sincerely have no idea.

confidence by commitee. Chad Henne cant seem to develop confidence on his own so it is a good thing his teammate are helping him along.

I hear ya. I swear some people just aren't happy unless they are complaining about something. I hate people like that.

I definitely feel you on Henne and tucking and running, he did better in the first 2 preseason games, but the oline was so bad last night I think he was just trying to secure the ball there.

I hate to break it to you, but the only reason they have confidence in him is because he has confidence in himself. Those throws hes making now are CONFIDENT throws, hes CONFIDENT in this new system, and hes breeding confidence in this lockerroom/ huddle as a leader (stated by many players).

I appreciate the attempt at a knock but you gotta step it up.

Yea we knew Henning was hurting Henne out there. Too much "buzzer" and "taking out on 1st and 2nd, but save us on 3rd" from him. Switching coordinators was such a huge thing for Henne.

daboll knows how the system works in new england. throw on first down alot and make life easier for everyone involved. Look where your matchups are. hit it.

It seems like it wasn't only Henning. Sparano was also called out on micro-managing and I think thats what he was doing with Henne. Time will tell if he has changed his micro-managing, but so far it seems he has.

of the three mentioned, sparano is still here. ross looking for another HC. didnt get his guy. Sparano recalled because not a good year to switch coaches anyways. Parsells gone. Ireland and Sparano given complete control where they have serious talk with ross post-harbough. ross goes public with his guys. Ireland/Sparano look in mirror and say we are going to fix what we know is wrong and let chad henn run this team in a diff system that lets him let it fly.

Ol still a problem on Right side.

he thinks pat white should have been our QB
 
Seeing how Henne has been the past few weeks, and what New England did last night against Detroit...I'm a little excited for week 1.
 
i like what im seeing as well... i think ive seen henne throw it deep at least 2-3 times per game... lol
 
If our star receiver BMarshall is behind the guy that can only be a good thing. I don't know what they saying in these new henne-marshal meetings but keep it up boys! If these two can stay on the same page our offensive will be a problem for any team. Defenses will be forced to double Marshall. Evene then u still probably not stoppin big homie! That can only lead to open looks for the rest of the guys. Henne is showing he is improving. The way this guy is calling audibles after reading the defense. He is taking control of the offense and he is making some really good throws. Shout outs to Bmarshall too bcuz he playing like he want to get back to that Pro Bowl level. I'm eager to see who's going to be the other receiver that steps they game up.

Go Phins!
