If you were at Sun Life Stadium on Friday night you might have seen something in the third quarter that maybe you never had before. It was Chad Henne, the Dolphins quarterback, and Brandon Marshall, the team’s top receiver, standing next to one another on the sideline. Talking.
The conversation lasted for a while. And provided further evidence that the two are indeed working to build a positive relationship – something that didn’t exist during a tumultuous 2010 season. I wrote about where things stand with Henne and Marshall in a story published right here.
I wrote about this in the story but it’s worth repeating here, too: After the preseason victory against Carolina on Friday night, Marshall went out of his way to praise Henne. Marshall said:
“I love how Chad Henne took over the offense. He’s just done a tremendous job of taking over the huddle. You need that in a quarterback. The talent is there, but the leadership he’s shown from the offseason into this camp has been amazing, a huge difference. He’s helping us out a lot and getting guys in the right places.”
Henne shared the kind words. About Marshall, Henne said:
“Well, you definitely look at the match-ups out there and if he’s one-on-one we’re going to try to get the ball and some of the plays are designated, he’s the first in progression and he was open so I hit him, but you just take like it is, he’s a playmaker, you want to get the ball in his hands as much as possible.”
No, it wouldn’t be fair to call this a bromance just yet. Henne and Marshall still have a ways to go to build the kind of chemistry that some quarterbacks share with their top receivers.
But scenes like the one the pair shared on the sideline suggest that maybe that kind of chemistry is possible. At the least, it suggests that both guys are moving past a difficult first season of working together.
