But Henning is the one that is calling the passes or runs, not Henne. Henne isn't allowed to change the play at the line.
I don't think Marshall is happy catching screen passes for minus 4 yards. And other routes that are so predictable.
Ricky said himself that if a player calls for the ball, pre-snap, not only is it now allowed, but they will be on the street.
That's not just a rule. The coach has a lot of emotion tied into that which is not good.
Henning is a stubborn, vain moron and he's letting it blind him.
Sparano said himself that he went back and watched Denver last year to see how they got them the ball. That obviously means we don't know wtf we are doing in the passing game.
The first few games, Henning sends Marshall on go routes, and it worked.
Then teams decided to take that away. NE especially put the film out there. Teams are playing a lot of 2 deep coverage and bracketing Marshall out.
Now Henning doesn't know wtf to do. He doesn't have a solid grasp of how to scheme against certain coverages with certain routes.
I have a problem with his whole play design in the passing game.
I don't think Henning is handicapped with Henne. I think it's the other way around.
We don't need to max protect him. He can make a read and get rid of the ball quickly.
Look at the Jets mnf game last year. Game is on the line, prime time, against a good defense, in what his third game or whatever.
3rd down, he makes a big time nfl throw on the out to Camarillo, right over the defender who played that well.
That was quick 3 step and out.
The NE game last year at home. Henne gets a horrible low snap in the shotgun, and boom its out, hitting Bess on the slant for a td.
There are many instances like this.
Of course Henne is young and is making mistakes, but he has also shown that he is more than capable. I don't buy into that we have to max protect him and shield him like an infant, etc.
It's pretty well established that Henne does better against blitzing teams than sit-back teams.
Imo that is just a matter of developing patience.
